Water plans put to public RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Scene linked to stabbing Morning Star Staff
The mystery of blood found near a Vernon elementary school Wednesday morning appears to be solved. RCMP officers from the VernonNorth Okanagan detachment spent most of Wednesday investigating a report of blood on Fulton Road in front of Ellison Elementary School and a report of a man at Vernon Jubilee Hospital with serious injuries.
“Their investigation has determined that the two reports were in fact linked together,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Thursday. The 32-year-old man who was taken to hospital suffered stab wounds. He underwent surgery Wednesday, remains in hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Through their investigation, offi-

cers arrested a 32-year-old male suspect who was expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Thursday. Fulton Road was closed off Wednesday as police conducted their investigation. Students at Ellison and Fulton Secondary were able to get to school via Okanagan Avenue. Police continue to investigate the file.
The public will play a role in the future of Greater Vernon’s water utility. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted Thursday to form a public committee to review information and provide feedback on the master water plan. “It can create frustration in the public if we stonewall. We need to start the process,” said director Jim Garlick. The committee could consist of various stakeholders, such as large water users, and possibly individual Jim Garlick residents. “It’s important that with the concerns we are hearing from the public, that they are addressed,” said Juliette Cunningham, chairperson. GVAC’s handling of the utility, and long-term planning, has generated significant criticism among some residents, particularly since a $70 million borrowing referendum was defeated in David Sewell November. Also on Thursday, a decision was made to investigate a communications strategy for the master water plan. The goal would be to keep residents up-to-date on any actions taken and any changes to the plan. “We need to draw people in and make them interested,” said Garlick. A number of possible objectives have been identified, including meeting water quality standards, the community’s ability to manage capital costs, current daily and projected demand by source and classification, maximizing quantity of supply and minimizing the use of treated water by agricultural customers. “Yes there is a cost to putting treated water on crops but there’s also a cost to not putting it on crops and that’s separation (of pipes),” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan chief administrative officer. Director Gyula Kiss insists one issue is paramount above all others. “What is the most secure water source at the lowest cost for treatment?” he said. Kiss wants domestic use to switch from Duteau Creek to Okanagan Lake, but some staff question that concept. “We have not done any water quality studies on the north end of Okanagan Lake,” said Dale McTaggart, general manager of engineering.

The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission has been told to back off changes in Greater Vernon. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, told the commission Wednesday that he doesn’t support a plan to remove the Swan Lake area and a portion of the BX from Vernon-Monashee and put it in the Shuswap constituency. “People in the BX-Swan Lake corridor are part of the Greater Vernon area and they have no connection to Salmon Arm,” said Foster. “I interact with them and know their electoral area directors quite well.” Foster says he’s concerned Swan Lake/BX residents will have a difficult time receivEric Foster ing assistance if their MLA is based in a Salmon Arm office. The proposed electoral area district boundary would follow the Vernon municipal boundary around Swan Lake and Silver Star Foothills to the Spallumcheen boundary. The Swan Lake commercial corridor along Highway 97 would join the Shuswap constituency as would Old Kamloops Road (except for the Blue Jay subdivision). Silver Star Road would be the boundary between the two constituencies. All of the regional district’s BX-Swan Lake electoral area would be in the Shuswap but BX-Silver Star would be divided. Silver Star Foothills, which is part of the City of Vernon, will remain in Vernon-Monashee. The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission says there’s a need to adjust boundaries because VernonMonashee is the most populated constituency in the region while Shuswap is the second smallest. “If you look at representation by population, the first word is representation,” said Foster. “The worst thing we can do is give people a feeling of disconnect when we are already having trouble getting people to vote.” Foster has discussed the boundary issue with Greg Kyllo, current MLA for Shuswap. “He already has a huge riding and to add more on to his geographical plate would be difficult,” said Foster. The commission is reviewing input from the public and MLAs on its proposals and a final report will be presented to the Legislature Sept. 25.

Town hall meetings considered to gain input RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There are demands to improve interaction between Vernon city hall and residents. Coun. Scott
Anderson presented a notice of motion Monday that calls for staff to report back on the city possibly holding public town hall meetings.
“We’ve done a great job of pushing information out to the public but we lack a mechanism to get input from the public,” he said. “It gives citizens
a voice. It makes us a sounding board for citizens.” Anderson envisions the sessions being an informal way for residents to speak to their
elected representatives. “They can bounce ideas off of us,” he said. However, not everyone is embracing Anderson’s concept. “I don’t know how

Free parking gets approval RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Parts of Vernon’s main street will feature free parking on Fridays during the summer. City council has agreed to provide free parking between noon and 3 p.m. in the block of 30th Avenue hosting the Avenue Market Fridays from June 12 to Sept. 18. “We want to create a positive destination downtown,” said Lara Konkin, with the Downtown Vernon Association, which made the request to the city. The DVA must put hoods on the meters two hours before a portion of 30th Avenue is Lara Konkin closed at 3 p.m. so motorists have the allocated time permitted by the meters. However, the early placement of the hoods has led some motorists to believe parking is restricted immediately and they don’t stop to shop. “It was seen as a negative,” said Konkin. The hope is that by having free parking in the block hosting the market that Friday night, motorists will continue to shop up until the road being closed at 3 p.m. Support for the DVA’s request came from a majority of council. “This can reduce some of the friction over parking,” said Coun. Scott Anderson. Opposition came from Mayor Akbal Mund and Councillors Juliette Cunningham and Bob Spiers, who wanted free parking to start at 1 p.m. and not noon. “Opening it up for three hours could lead to free meter hogging,” said Cunningham, who owns a business on 30th Avenue. The DVA estimates the city could lose up to $4,000 in parking revenue over the 15 weeks and that is an issue for city staff. “Each hour there is a revenue loss.

Extra pays $500,000 Morning Star Staff
Caroline Longval was in so much shock after winning $500,000 on the Lotto Max Extra that she fell to the floor in tears of joy. The Coldstream resident received the winning Lotto Max ticket as an impromptu “I love you gift” from her husband. He doesn’t normally purchase the Extra, but on this occasion, his decision to add it on proved to be the right one. The ticket was purchased at the Coldstream Market, and while checking it there, Longval was in for a big surprise when she discovered she had matched all four numbers on the May 22 Lotto Max Extra draw.
“This was a very nice and unexpected moment. I am very grateful,” she said. Longval and her family recently relocated from Coquitlam and are now looking forward to purchasing a home without the burden of a mortgage. But first she plans to host a dinner party to celebrate the win with friends and family. “It feels great to be a lottery winner,” she laughs. “We will definitely keep playing to see if we can keep the momentum going.” Longval is the second area resident to win on the Friday draw after an Enderby woman claimed $1 million.
Neighbours douse fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Quick-acting residents are being praised for keeping a Coldstream fire from spreading. A house fire was reported in the 1300 block of Sumac Lane at about 3 p.m. Wednesday. “The neighbours had two hoses on it and they knocked down the flames,” said Dave Sturgeon, Coldstream fire
chief. “We would like to thank them for their actions.” The fire began in the attic and spread to the exterior of the structure. “We are trying to determine the cause,” said Sturgeon, adding that the blaze may be linked to an attic fan. The occupants of the residence were not injured during the incident and it’s not known how much damage was done to the home.

The best of times
ell, let’s see. If memory serves, it was right around this time, 34 years ago, that I was working up the courage to ask a girl in my Vernon Senior Secondary School Class of 1981 to be my grad date. And it would have been right around this time, as well, that about 60 of my fellow guy graduates and I went into a now-defunct Vernon clothing store and ordered suits for grads. It took about three weeks for me to finally get up the nerve to ask the girl out, even though she knew I was going to ask her. I asked her on a Friday and she said she needed the weekend Roger Knox to think about it, you know, giving me a taste of my own medicine. She said yes. On Monday afternoon. After school was out. As for the suits, well... Our grad day was Thursday, June 25. On Tuesday, June 23, the suits had not arrived. We were all scrambling for Plan B. My Plan B was my friend’s dad, basically same size and shape as me. He was willing to loan me one of his suits. No worries. The suits showed up June 24. Back in 1981, there was only one high school in Vernon. VSSS. We were it. Fulton, Kal and Seaton were junior secondary schools, Grades 8 to 10. You’d spend three years there and you couldn’t wait to go up to “The Hill.” Because everybody went to one high school, the grad class was, well, large. Like 500 students large. Thursday, June 25, 1981, was a scorcher. We gathered at the court house at about 6 p.m. for the picture at 6:30 p.m. You wanted to get there early to get a good spot and to make sure you could be seen in the picture. And, of course, once in your spot – ladies up front, guys up top – you had to look straight ahead for about half-an-hour because
AT RANDOM
you didn’t want to be looking to the side for your forever grad class picture. And I don’t think we knew who the official photographer was but there were about 100 cameras clicking away. Several people collapsed because of the heat. After that, it was over to the Vernon Civic Arena for the formal portion of grad. You know the Civic, built in the 1930s, aluminum roof, no air conditioning. Probably hotter inside than outside. You get announced, walk across the stage, receive your certificate, then sit in the stands where parents and other invited guesses are fanning themselves profusely with the programs. Once the ceremony was done, it was over to the Vernon Recreation Centre for a formal dance with the parents. At this point, we grads are eagerly anticipating getting out of the monkey suits and formal dresses, getting into our regular every day attire and heading to the after grad party which was held, formally, at the Our Heaven Roller Rink and, informally, in the field now occupied by DCT Chambers Trucking. Grad night was a fun night. There were some melodramas, some goodbyes, but still, it was a nice way to end 12 years of public schooling. The two years at VSSS went by quickly but, speaking for myself, they were two of the best years of my life. I made lifelong friendships in those old brick-filled hallways. The Vernon Senior Secondary School Class of 1981 is special, and I’m proud and honoured to be part of it. We have had three reunions and a collective 50th birthday party since that last night of June 25, 1981. Each event has had more than 150 or 200 grads return. Whenever we get together, we pick up just like it was 1981. With tons of smiles and millions of laughs. I hope all North Okanagan grad classes of 2015 will be able to say the same thing 34 years from now. May you all have a safe and happy grad night.
On the surface, Coun. Scott Anderson’s concept of town hall meetings in Vernon appears to have a lot of merit. “We’ve done a great job of pushing information out to the public but we lack a mechanism to get input from the public,” he said. “It gives citizens a voice. It makes us (council) a sounding board for citizens.” And given low voter turnouts during elections and the general apathy and cynicism towards political activities, anything that encourages residents to get more active in their community should be considered. However, one has to wonder if town hall meetings are the best way for officials to interact with their constituents? Thanks to modern technology, virtually every council member can be reached on a cell phone (their numbers are posted on the city website) and each of them has an e-mail address, which allows for instantaneous contact. The City of Vernon also has Facebook and Twitter accounts and increasingly, residents of all ages are using social media to provide their thoughts. Obviously nothing beats one-toone contact, and most council members spend considerable time individually meeting with residents to discuss a range of concerns. The challenge with town hall meetings is drawing people away from their busy lives, and such sessions can also easily become dominated by a resident or a group of citizens who have a special interest. Anderson deserves praise for wanting to improve communications between city hall and the public, and we encourage his colleagues to support the effort. But there may be a variety of opportunities that allow for that relationship to unfold.

Left-turn lanes on highway targeted
read with interest the letter from Rory White in The Morning Star recently. As a retired highway transport driver and rancher and current large RV driver, I completely agree with his review of recent so-called upgrades and beautification projects to some of Vernon’s most used side streets through the downtown area. Quite frankly, it is ridiculous that the narrowing of these streets through the industrial areas of town could be considered an answer to downtown traffic flow. They are a nightmare to anyone driving a big rig of any type, recreational or commercial, to navigate, especially the bigger rigs that must do their business in these areas of our city. I also agree with Mr. White's observations to help get north or south through traffic moving safely through our city. There is no question that creating a one-way north and a one-way south for our major (and only) route through town would make good sound sense. In fact, doing this would give all traffic coming into town from either way the easy option of either
COSENS BAY ROAD We are appalled that the beauty and tranquility of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park is being threatened by the possibility of a totally unnecessary widening of Cosens Bay Road. This road is being referred to by a few residents as unsafe. On this allegedly unsafe road, in an average year, how many vehicle accidents occur where the RCMP have been notified? How many accidents occur resulting in people having to go to hospital for treatment? How many fatalities have occurred? We have asked these questions to representatives of the Ministry of Transportation but have yet to receive confirmed statistics. Through the Freedom of Information Act, ICBC statistics show that in the past five years, only 12 accidents have occurred on Cosens Bay Road, including parking lot incidents. This constitutes an unsafe road? If the road conditions are poor, drivers should slow down and take
stopping to visit our fair city or going straight through. In particular, Highway 97 (32nd Street) is currently a nightmare, whether going north or south. I believe that an immediate improvement to this only major thoroughfare would be to stop all leftturns off Highway 97 through town where there is no left-turn lane. Do it now before the busy summer season is upon us. It is ridiculous that a vehicle turning left can hold up traffic, creating bumper-to-bumper lines two blocks long. This creates real safety issues when impatient drivers are often unsafely trying to pull back into the right hand lane in order to get past. I have driven through many cities in both Canada and the U.S. that use one-way major thoroughfare arteries and they work well with very little holdup and stress whether you are stopping or just travelling through. I think the City of Vernon needs to address this problem now as it is only going to get worse. Ron Trickett
an extra few minutes to get to their destination and enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. The multi-million dollar, divided, ultra-safe Coquihalla Highway has numerous accidents, not due to being an unsafe road, but due to drivers not adjusting to road conditions. There are no unsafe roads, just unsafe drivers. Do not waste our valuable tax money to upgrade this road. Why not lower the speed limit and add some signage, similar to those we see on roads throughout the world, to alert drivers that there is a sharp corner or an area ahead where speed needs to be reduced? A few signs versus a major widening of the road will save taxpayers from a huge, unneeded expense. A wider right-of-way will open the possibility of defacing the park with more hydro lines, more traffic at higher speeds, encroachment of parkland and further development at the end of the road.
Most importantly, stopping this proposal will prevent environmental damage and a further scarring that the impact of a wider road will have on the beauty and integrity of this unique park. We urge the public to stop any proposed widening of the Cosens Bay road by contacting your MLA and signing the petition on the Friends of Kalamalka Park website. Ray, Ashley and Jessica Wolsey, Shelley Thompson
We drove by Cherryville two months ago, and I stopped counting does in one pasture after 100. Keep in mind that each of those animals will produce one or two babies every year. Grand Forks is overrun by whitetail deer in the downtown core. They wander down the middle of the streets there and sprawl on residents' lawns. One woman had her dog killed while walking with it. I recently spoke to MLA Linda Larson's office in Oliver. They have the same problem with deer overrunning the area. Alberta is having an over-population problem as well, which has led to disease in the herd. You have to submit the animal's head for disease detection. Plus, the provincial people insist on killing off the deer's natural predators. Three cougars in the Vernon area last year. The only solution is to have a two-year culling. Issue permits for hunters to bag does. Joan Lindman
DEER POPULATION I am writing this in response to a letter sent to The Morning Star from S. Lighthall. The deer population has got out of control. We are five minutes to downtown Vernon, and have a herd of 22 does chewing their way through our garden. The neighbours are annoyed because their plants are being eaten, things damaged and dogs stomped on. They are talking about crossbows, because we are in city limits.

Tolko Industries Limited has applied to the ALC to remove just over one hectare of the property from the Land Reserve. Since 1957, various forestry companies have owned the property which has not been used for agricultural purposes and is currently zoned I3 Timber Processing and Manufacturing. support for Crown land disposition The Regional Board conditionally supports a referral application made to FrontCounter BC by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The Ministry wants approval to transfer approximately 272-hectares of Crown land to the Westbank First Nation in recognition of an exchange of a portion of Reserve lands for a highway improvement project. The portion of Crown land affected is between and connects the existing Indian Reserves #11 and #12, south of Mission Creek.

A permanent memorial recognizes those impacted by a dark chapter in Canadian history. On Saturday, a ceremony was held at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery to honour the 11 individuals who died while at the Vernon internment camp during the First World War. “We gathered to recall Canada’s first national internment operations, when thousands of men, women and children were rounded up and transported to 24 camps across our country, including one of the longest operating camps, that at Vernon, whose gates did not close until 1920,” said Ivan Grbesic, with the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund. “We have also provided a voice to those who perished at the Vernon Internment Camp.

Among those in attendance was Defence Minister Jason Kenney. The Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund was established to support projects that commemorate and recognize the experiences of all of the communities affected by Canada’s internment operations from 1914 to 1920.

Some additional paths are being built up in Coldstream, but at a cost. Plans have been drawn up for a path on Learmouth Road as well as an extension of the Kidston pathway. Unfortunately financial implications for the later path have had to be cut out of the other. “The property negotiations included a number of retaining walls,” said Michael Baker, director of infrastructure services, of
the additional costs for the Kidston path, which rose from $195,000 to $395,000. Therefore the Learmouth path was cut from $400,000 to $200,000 to accommodate the situation. Initially, an asphalt pathway in Lavington was planned from Park Lane to School Road. But it has now been cut down from Reid Road to Bessette Drive. “There’s two ways to spend, either on land, or retaining walls,” said Mayor Jim Garlick.

The Interior Health Authority is collaborating with a number of agencies to investigate an outbreak of salmonella in Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan. The cases of human illness are related to contact with live baby poultry originating from a hatchery in Alberta. “To date, there have been 13 cases of salmonella infection and two hospitalizations in B.C. connected to this outbreak. Several of these cases occurred in the Interior Health region,” states an IHA release. Anyone who has contact with live poultry and/ or has eggs from hobby farms, non-commercial organic farms and backyard flocks is advised to take precautions to protect their health. Members of the public who have acquired poultry from a hatchery in Alberta, and are concerned they may be affected by this outbreak, should contact their supplier or their local health protection unit for more information.

About 40 people marched in Lumby Saturday against genetically modified organisms. The March Against Monsanto opposed corporate ownership of the food system and to protect against what rally participants believe is the pollution associated with corporate agriculture. “I am thrilled to see so many people here for our first march,” said organizer
Sue Kelsey. “It shows how important this issue is to our community. “Many people who couldn’t be here have told me of their appreciation, saying the time has come to take back our agriculture.” The march concluded at the Monashee Community Co-Op where tents and vendors were set up for the coop’s grand opening. “I hope that soon all local

Monsanto defends its activities. “The 22,000 people of Monsanto are committed to having an open dialogue about food and agriculture – we’re proud of the work we do,” states the corporation in a release. “We’re also proud of our

Agreement looks to the future Katherine MortiMer
Morning Star Staff
Accompanied by the sound of traditional drumming and singing, history was made Tuesday night with the signing of the Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement. In a special ceremony at W.L. Seaton Secondary School, the document was signed by representatives of the Okanagan Indian Band, the Vernon and District Métis Association, the First Nations Friendship Centre, the Vernon School District and the Ministry of Education. In his welcoming address, district superintendent Joe Rogers outlined the four goals of the agreement, but began by apologizing to members of the aboriginal community. “It’s important to talk about the past and on behalf of myself, teachers, past superintendents and past teachers, I’d like to apologize,” he said. “We have not always done the best we can for our aboriginal learners, and we haven’t always taken the time to understand their history and their family history and to better serve them. “The AEA is our commitment to how we are going to serve our kids, to make sure they all cross the stage in Grade 12 and that they are proud of their aboriginal heritage, and that they have options for the future.” The agreement was signed after two years of dedicated consultations and dialogues between representatives of the five partner groups. An AEEA is a commitment by school districts, local aboriginal communities and the Ministry of Education to work together to support aboriginal student success. It focuses on four goals: communication, diversity, identity and vision. It also highlights the importance of academic performance and stresses the integral nature of aboriginal traditional culture and language to aboriginal student development. “The agreement reflects the ‘voices’ of aboriginal students, parents, families, elders and school district employees,” said Jami Tonasket, chairperson of the AEEA working group. “The ongoing collaboration by all partners will greatly support the success of all students — it’s about partnership, and not standing alone. “It’s about our children — we love our children and our community is important to us.” Okanagan Indian Band Chief Byron Louis expressed his appreciation for the document, which states, “We live and learn in the territory of the Okanagan (Syilx) people. We acknowledge our shared responsibility and commitment to the edu-
cation and recognition of the diversity of people in our communities. “We see a need to strengthen relationships by learning about one another’s cultures. The increased understanding by all partners will result in students and families feeling more welcome in the district, and assurance that all members of the district and aboriginal communities respect the relationships and commonality we all share.” Louis said when he was in school, history lessons began with the explorers of the 1600s, while ignoring thousands of years of aboriginal history. “Identity is who we are as people and it goes back for thousands of years,” he said. “My education was quite short but my grandfather and elders gave me a long education and taught me the identity of who I am. “Seven generations of children went through the residential schools but we still maintain who we are — our people who survived that, I don’t call them survivors, they are veterans of the war against aboriginal children of this country and it was to strip us of our identity of who we are. “All of us aboriginal people have a story to tell, with the next five years of shared commitment for our aboriginal children.” Representing the Ministry of Education, Colleen Hannah is also a member of the OKIB. “This is us doing better for our children, this is just a really small part of the hard work of putting that vision into practice, but carrying this out is key,” she said. “We are all learning together. You have to have courage, it takes a lot of courage to do things differently. “Our education system came from long ago. Our elders did not have four walls around them, it took an entire community to make sure every child is educated. We are all responsible for all of our children.” Rosalie Yazzie is a member of the OKIB, a lawyer in the Okanagan and the first generation of her family not to attend a residential school. “But I have first-hand knowledge of what it is to be an indigenous student lost to the system,” she said. “I have entrusted this district with my greatest achievement and that is my son who is in Grade 12 at Fulton next year, so he is in the first year of the five-year agreement.” The evening’s celebrations were complemented by the traditional drumming of Emory Robins and the Birch Creek Drum Group, as well as a Métis dance performance, the Red River Jig, by Robin and Joe Marcotte, accompanied by Garry Hill on fiddle and Greg Sterling on spoons.

Tigers brush back Shamrocks TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
There was yelling, cross-checking, taunting, back-checking, monster hits and a brief post-game scuffle in the parking lot - it was simply the Vernon Sun Valley Source for Sports Tigers and Armstrong Shamrocks renewing acquaintances Wednesday night at Kal Tire Place. It started rough and ended even rougher with the Tigers winning 17-12 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action. “It was high-paced, lots of tension, very physical but a great time,” said Tigers’ forward Ryan Sarazin. “I’m pretty banged up after this one.” Always a physical affair, this installment of the rivalry featured two of the league’s top offensive talents in Sarazin and Owen Barker of the Shamrocks (2-6). Barker, who teamed up with fellow former Shamrock Brett Hawrys with the B.C. Junior A League Nanaimo Timbermen last season, entered Wednesday’s game third in league scoring. He was treated like he had a target stitched on his back where his number should be.

Turn-Key find scoring touch Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls broke out of their May goal scoring rut in a big way by ambushing the Salmon Arm Outlaws 6-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at MacDonald Park. Turn-Key had dropped their last two decisions by identical scores of 2-1 but came out firing right away when an Evan Moore corner bounced around a few heads before Thomas Pool nodded it home. Preston Tucker then capitalized on a miskick from the Outlaw keeper by going top left corner for the 2-0 lead. Turn-Key (3-3-1) moved the ball around beautifully on the bumpy MacDonald Park pitch and Kanwar Pandher made it 3-0 before the half when he finished a great through ball from Jeremy Kler and Tucker. The second half saw Turn-Key withstand an initial surge from the 2-4-1 Outlaws, who were unable to defeat the back line of Nathan Gatenby, Bryce Paterson, Taylor Horsting and Nathan Tucker.
Goalkeepers Gregg Douma and Jeremy Kler, who relieved Douma for the final 15 minutes, were marvellous. Conan Ackert and Nathan Tucker both used their height advantage to score off Turn-Key crosses in the second half and Moore rounded out the scoring off a penalty. North Enderby Timber stuffed the Revelstoke Stallions 4-0 in Salmon Arm. Brent Poulsen opened the scoring in the 25th minute off a pass from Mo Sinogo.

Vernon goes Tier 2 Morning Star Staff
No more lopsided losses to much larger associations in Kelowna and Kamloops. A legitimate chance to make provincials and be competitive. Greater Vernon Minor Hockey will drop down and play as a Tier 2 association next Okanagan Mainline season. “Our three-year average for players in Pee Wee through Midget is 294 which puts us under the 300 mark and allows us to play Tier 2,” said Sandy Moger, Vernon director of hockey operations. Kelowna sported an average of 650 players, while Kamloops came in at 608. West Kelowna, at 264, will remain Tier 2. “We’re the biggest Tier 2 association in the Okanagan Mainline and the board is happy about the change,” said Moger. “Instead of chasing the puck all game, we now have a chance to win games and have some success for a change.” Unless Vernon’s numbers increase drastically, they should remain a Tier
2 group for the immediate future. Meanwhile, Kara Blazek is the new president of Vernon minor hockey. Also voted in at the recent AGM were Glen Kuhnlein at first vice-president and Mike Frick as second vice. Liisa Seltzer is the third vice and Senior Division manager, while Jamie Saxton is the fourth vice and Junior Division manager. Cathy Isles will serve as secretarytreasurer, Rande Evans remains as equipment manager, Gareth Jones is risk management manager and Kevin Walthers is development manager. The Vernon Summer Hockey School goes Aug. 3-14 featuring former NHLers Moger, Mark Ferner and Dave Oliver as head instructors. There will be Rep and Recreational, Defenceman and Shooting and Scoring camps. The first week goes Aug. 3-7 with the second week Aug. 10-14. The camps are open to players aged 5-16.

Athletics win Tacoma tourney Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Athletics used their traditional wood bats to rule the inaugural Red, White & Blue Classic U15 AAA Baseball Tournament last weekend in Tacoma. Vernon players Jaden Parsons, Zach Orchard and Chase Batchelor helped the A’s win the 16-team tournament. All the U.S. teams swung metal bats. The Athletics stopped the Puyallup, Wash. Jasox 5-3 in the Memorial Day final. Batchelor started in left field, making a running catch and two sweet plays to hold hitters to singles on hard-hit balls. Orchard recorded the first out of the game with a great running, shoe-string catch in centre field. He was also 1-for-2 at the plate and reached base after being hit by a pitch. The Athletics took an early 2-0 lead after the first inning, but the Jasox clawed their way back to take a 3-2 advantage in the top of the sixth. The A’s responded with three runs in the bottom half. In their opening two preliminary games, the Athletics recorded mercy-rule victories by a combined score of 28-0 against the NPA Tugs & Prime
Baseball academies. In Game 1, Orchard and Parsons started in the outfield, with Zach reaching on an error and scoring and Jaden stroking a sharp single to centre, drawing a walk and scoring twice. In Game 2, Batchelor started at second base and turned a nice 5-4-3 double play. He also smashed a two-run double and reached base when hit-by-apitch, which eventually led him to score his second run of the game. Parsons was the extra hitter, lining an RBI-double into the right centre field gap, taking a walk and scoring two runs. The A’s then ambushed Kelso, Wash. 11-3 with Orchard stellar in right field and registering a perfect bunt single, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored. Batchelor was solid at second and Parsons, again as the EH, had two walks, scored twice and contributed two RBI groundouts. The Athletics rallied to shade undefeated Seattle Select Black 6-5 in the semifinal. Parsons was marvellous at second, making several plays in a tight defensive game.

Polar Bears ice Monsters Morning Star Staff
The Polar Bears powered to a 3-0 whitewash of the Cookie Monsters in U12 boys house soccer Saturday at Marshall Field #2. Colby Eisenhauer broke the ice with a peppery one-timer in the fourth minute. Keaton Dick keyed the Monstersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; counterattack with some deft dribbling, while Cade Dempsey and Evan Bush provided pinpoint passing. Twice, Quinn Soon looked to have the tying goal on his boot, but keeper Ashton Komaryk stoned him cold. In the second half, Jonathan Bielski padded the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead with two blistering blasts in quick succession, set up by Jace Kisilevich and Quaid Willett. Still, there was no quit in the Monsters. Liam Heckrodt won balls through pure hustle. Owen Sunderland was a constant threat, making hairraising runs deep into bear country. Komaryk and Eisenhauer shared the shutout for the polar pack. A virtuoso performance by Sophie Challen carried the Blue Skittles to a 2-0 triumph over the Red Canadians in U9 girls play Saturday at Creekside Park. Denied twice on early breakaways, Challen charged through the Canadian line again in the 16th minute and opened the scoring. At the other end, Erica Lovelace was a revelation in the Skittle net, pulling out all the stops. Twice she shut down Canadians in the clear. Lauren Cunningham and Sierra Allen ran miles for the blue side, and held sway all over the pitch. Early in the second half, Challen led a 3-on-0, and found the net again with a low kick. Allen, Aida Dempsey and Jasmine Soon followed with breakaways of their own, but the Canadian keeper held down the fort. With five saves in the second, Ava Wood kept a clean sheet for the Blue Skittles. The Printech Prowlers Gold brushed off the
Fairfield Inn & Suites 2-1 in U13 boys action at Marshall Field. Fairfield led 1-0 at the recess with their keeper recording several huge saves. The Prowlers kept up the pressure in the second frame and were rewarded with two goals by Willem Gibson. Assists went to Brad Cramer and Rory Campbell. Printech got solid midfield work by Emmerson Corduff and a great two-way game by Declan Townes. Teagan Bader took a turn in net and earned the second-half shutout. Meanwhile, coaches Brett Bandy, James Lockwood and Genevieve Nice watched the Tolko United U13 girls bounce the Kamloops Blaze in Thompson Okanagan Rep League play Sunday at rainy Marshall Field #5 United opened the scoring with Emma Lockwood dangling both centerbacks and surprising the keeper low corner in the 15th minute. Ava McLennan finished a PK after a hand ball inside the 18 just before half. Ann Cherkowski hit an 18-yard rocket top corner in the second half and Emily Boden slipped one by the keeper on a tough angle at the touch line. Defenders Rane Smith, Elizabeth Hirschkorn, Marika Ternan and Kelsey Fillion were tough to beat, only allowing a couple of shots on goal. Midfielders Ann Cherkowski, Ava McLennan, Alexa Gauvin-Nice, Callie Bertram, Ashley Budgen, Emily Boden and Jasana Kunz controlled the midfield and made numerous runs and through balls to the strikers. Forwards Lanaya Bandy, Emma Lockwood and Taylor Francks kept relentless pressure on the Blaze back line, creating many scoring chances. Keepers Janelle Barnett and Summer Crosby didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of work but directed traffic and connected on goal kicks. United hosts Kelowna Sunday, 10 a.m., at Marshall #4.

Notice to Residents: City of Vernon Contractors will be starting the Spring Weed Control Program
What are the goals and objectives of the city’s weed control program? The city’s goal is to control weeds and grasses which may impair traffic visibility, damage road asphalt surfaces and cause safety issues for pedestrians and cyclists. The city controls weeds with mechanical trimming which includes roadside tractor mowing, weed line trimming and a spray program for weeds on paved road surfaces with concrete curb and gutter. What areas are mowed by the city? Road shoulders in all areas of the City of Vernon including the OK Landing and Blue Jay areas are maintained by contract. The road shoulders are mowed with a tractor equipped with a flail mower. This work is performed three times a year. Hand line trimming is included in the program to maintain pedestrian walkways. How often is spray chemical applied to control weeds? There are two spray applications each year. The timing of the applications are based on the life cycle of various weeds and grasses being targeted. Generally, the first application is in May, followed with the second application in September. Only vegetation that creates a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists or has the potential to damage infrastructure is targeted. How is the weed spray applied? Weed spray is applied with a fine-tipped applicator in the lowest possible concentrations directly on the targeted weed. It is sprayed in favorable weather conditions, ie. no rain and little wind by qualified vegetation control contractors.

The 10,000-square-metre renovation and expansion project includes the construction of a 1 , 8 5 8 - s qu are - m e t re outdoor training space, which is covered by a canopy housing one of the largest solar photovoltaic arrays in the
province. It is estimated that the panel will generate more than 208,550-kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. The average home in B.C. uses 8,000 kWh per year, meaning that the panel could generate enough electricity to power 26 homes for a year. The array will aid the college in achieving its goal of net-zero energy usage for the complex — meaning the
building will generate all the energy it needs. The new facility will also feature smart environmental controls systems and processes, including geothermal heating and cooling and grey water recycling.

Inspired by Okanagan College’s goal of building one of the most sustainable trades training facilities in North America, a B.C.-based distributor of plumbing and heating supplies has stepped forward with major support for the $33-million renovation and expansion project. Andrew Sheret Limited has pledged $50,000 toward the Bright Horizons Building for Skills fundraising campaign. The company’s donation will support the construction of a tool crib in the new trades training complex currently under construction at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus along KLO Road. “First and foremost, we see this as an investment in the future tradespeople of the province,” said Brian Findlay, president of Andrew Sheret Limited. “As technology advances, current training is so essential. We’re very proud to be able to support students and help the next wave of apprentices learn their trade.” “The new trades training complex features innovative design and the latest technology and equipment,” said Jim Hamilton, president of Okanagan College. “This facility will provide our students with a learning environment that matches the high quality of instruction they are receiving.” Findlay notes that the plan for sustainable construction was one of the factors that attracted Andrew Sheret Limited to donate to the college a second time, having previously given $50,000 to support the construction of the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence in Penticton. “Sustainability is very important to us,” said Findlay. “Our home office in Victoria is located in a LEED Silver building, and so when we heard about the college’s plan for sustainable construction on this building, similar to what the college achieved with the Centre of Excellence, that was something we

Big Apple Productions stages famed musical about love, faith and tradition in the face of hardship Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
With his dark, longish hair and full beard, Paul Rossetti was expecting to be scrutinized when he went through airport security on a recent trip. But he knew everything was going to be OK when one screening officer called out to him “Hey Tevye, come on through!” And another started singing If I Were a Rich Man. The beard may have been the first hint, but the T-shirt Rossetti was sporting, promoting the upcoming theatre production he’s about to star in, was the dead giveaway. Rossetti is about to play the beloved Jewish patriarch and poor dairyman Tevye in the famed musical Fiddler on the Roof, produced by Big Apple Productions, with direction and musical accompaniment by Melina Moore. A seasoned musical theatre performer, Rossetti is unafraid to step inside another man’s shoes, and in this case, religion. His role as the beleaguered father of seven daughters in Fiddler also isn’t the first time he has stepped out of his gentile, Catholic roots to play a mensch. “My first time was as Max Bialystock in The Producers,” said Rossetti, regarding the role he embodied for the Valley Vocal Arts production in 2011. “Paul was a natural choice for Tevye,” adds Moore. “Some say Tevye is the greatest male theatrical character ever written. Paul lives and breathes his role, looking and sounding more like Tevye with each passing day. The pathos, joy and vulnerability he brings to the part are heart wrenching.” In fact, it was Moore’s mother, Ann Schein, coming to Vernon to be a part of Fiddler, who encouraged Rossetti to take on the role made famous by Zero Mostel in
the 1964 Broadway musical and by Topol in the 1971 film directed by Norman Jewison. “The first time I met Melina’s mom was when I played Max and she said to me, ‘How can an Italian-Catholic boy play a Jew so well?’ She told me then that I had to do Fiddler.” Rossetti, who grew up off the shores of Lake Ontario near Burlington, is now the vice-principal, soon-to-be head principal of St. James Catholic School in Vernon. He is also a member of the religious order known as the Carmelites (Order of the Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel), whose faith has a long-standing tradition encompassing prayer, community, and service. Rossetti sees many similarities between his faith and that of Tevye’s in that his Jewish counterpart attempts to maintain his religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon his family’s lives. “I connect with Tevye and his relationship with God,” said Rossetti. “I see Tevye as a mystic. He is safest in his relationship with God and talks to God in a conversational sense, questioning Him without guile. It’s a profound part to play.” A married father of three children, Rossetti can also relate to Tevye being a family man. In the musical, Tevye must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love – each one’s choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of his faith – and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. “Family is everything for him. I relate to his security in tradition, and the reality that even though it kills him to watch his daughters go out in the world, what he really wants is their happiness,” said Rossetti. Producing and directing Fiddler also brought Moore back to her roots, and is an homage to her family and culture. While her immediate family are not strict practitioners of the Jewish faith, they do observe the holidays and follow all of the major traditions, she said.

Susan Currie (standing, left), Ethan Swift, Morgan Applegath, Michael Gairns, Craig Howard, Alex Patterson, Peter Byrnes, Don Cecile, Lloyd Gairns (sitting, left), Harriet Gardner, Keira Millin, Courtney Harker, Brian Martin, Karen Bliss (front, left) and Paul Rossetti star in Big Apple Production’s Fiddler on the Roof at Powerhouse Theatre June 4 to 7. “I consider myself a Jewish girl,” said Moore, adding, “I used to watch Fiddler on the Roof with my Bubbie and Zaide (grandma and grandpa) on their black and white TV when I was a little girl. My Bubbie passed away when I was eight years old, and my Zaide is still going strong at 93. This show is in honour of them.” Like the Jews of the fictional town of Anatevka in 1908 czarist Russia, where the story of Fiddler takes place, members of Moore’s own family were forced to leave their villages and were persecuted and mistreated. “There is so much emotion for me in directing this show and playing and teaching this music,” she said. “It makes me think of my family members who were in concentration camps in Nazi Germany; what they went through, how they struggled and suffered. It brings up loss and tragedy, and ultimately, triumph in the face of it all.” With a cast of more than 70, including students of Moore’s vocal
and theatre training studio, Valley Vocal Arts, and a self-assembled troupe of dancers from both the Sadok and Zirka Ukrainian schools of dance, Moore has her hands full maneuvering the biggest ensemble she’s directed to date. “We have quite literally outgrown the studio out of which I’ve been teaching for the past decade. It’s time for some bigger digs,” she said. Fiddler also features familiar faces in Vernon’s theatrical community including Sun FM morning show host Brian Martin as Lazar Wolf, the butcher, Karen Bliss as Golde, Tevye’s sharp-tongued wife of 25 years and mother of their seven children, and Susan Currie as Yente, the Matchmaker. The cast is also comprised of talented young artists, playing a number of roles. Most exciting to Moore is the cameo by her mother, Schein, who plays Grandma Tzeitel, a 100-yearold ghost who returns from the

dead in Tevye’s famous dream. “This is my mother’s theatrical debut, and at 69 years old, she takes no prisoners. It’s amazing having her here to share this very meaningful and special experience for our family. I know this means as much to her as it does to me. And it’s great having the Jewish mama help in training the cast to be a Jewish community,” said Moore. Fiddler is choreographed by Lisa Schofield of Diversity Dance, and Rossetti, doing double duty, has designed the set, while costumes have been designed by Sue Gairns, lighting by Beverley Peacock, hair and beard artistry by Jessica Nicole Studio and makeup by Kristy Wiafe of Black Magic Tattoo. Fiddler on the Roof runs for five performances at the Powerhouse Theatre, June 4 to 7 at 7:30 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee June 6. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller box office.

Mariah goes to infinity and beyond Mariah Carey
P
: #1 to Infinity
erennial R&B/pop superstar Mariah Carey’s third installment of hits, #1 to Infinity, is a saccharine mystery of vocal virtuosity and melodramatic songwriting. The mystery is confounding. Carey is a talented, famous singer/songwriter, but who listens to her? In real life? She’s like Celine Dion, super successful and acclaimed, but do you know any fans? The singers don’t permeate everyday life, as if the sound won’t gel with air.
Carey’s lack of passionate material is a problem here. It’s hard to get a fire going with songs that are bland, production wise. It’s telling that when she keeps things basic, she connects. Her version Dean Gordon-Smith of I’ll Be There is a beautiful performance that can top the original, depending on your
Street SoundS
mood. It could be the definitive version of the song. Dreamlover is a gem of ‘90s soul, slick as it is. Another track from this early stage in Carey’s career, Someday, an unplugged MTV performance from 1991, moves with an old R&B-based churchy sway. Of course, Hero makes an appearance the ballad to end all ballads. Unfortunately, it’s been co-opted as a standard for Idoltype competition. She hits a wide range with those few songs – earthy and ethereal.

A nice addition is the Jay-Z collaboration, Heartbreaker. This track is a perfect base for Carey’s vocalizations – a funky Cyndi Laupertype tune minus Lauper’s Betty Boop sounds. Carey coasts over this one easily. With 19 songs, weak material can’t be covered up. Carey dazzles with her pitch perfect multi-octave voice (like the singer in The Fifth Element), but often defaults into over-singing. The music becomes remote, but it could be breached by simplicity. It’s time to testify, Mariah!

Future lies in the North Okanagan
C
Tomorrowland
asey (Britt Robertson) is a brave, creative young woman who spends a great deal of energy trying to make the world a better place, even if it means getting in trouble with the law. After being bailed out by her father for her latest daring deeds, Casey discovers she has been given a pin that when she touches it, transports her to Tomorrowland, a futuristic utopia. When that pin ceases working, Casey takes it upon herself to discover where it came from, how it works and why it has been given to her. In this effort she meets Frank (George Clooney), a grumpy inventor who knows all about Tomorrowland, but also the exact date the world is going to end, which is soon. Together the two of them embark on a multi-dimensional adventure in an attempt to save the future. We say, “Tomorrowland ploughs through a philosophical quagmire.” TAYLOR: At its core, Tomorrowland is about how if you change your outlook, you’ll change your outcome. Call it optimistic intentionality, if you like. It’s a well-founded concept, worthy of our attention, although having been given the Disney treatment, it becomes hollow or empty. Where Jupiter Ascending is The Matrix for girls, Tomorrowland is The Matrix for kids. Suffering from the same multi-dimensional traps, questions of the social engineering of reality become secondary to fight scenes, chase scenes and fantastical scenery. Until finally “The Architect” comes along to explain the way the universe works, in this case played by lead engineer of Tomorrowland, (the place, not the film) Hugh Laurie. The problem becomes that kids don’t care about the message and adults don’t buy it. So we are left with a very pretty sci-fi action film with a great message, entirely overlooked for what it is, an oppor-

tunity for ourselves to imagine a better future. HOWE: You hit the nail on the head. Featuring rotund robots resembling a Disney cartoon, the film is too cute for adults. The acting from the kids isn’t that great and I’m including Robertson, who screams constantly. The ending is tied up so sweetly you could pour it on your pancakes. And then there’s Tomorrowland itself. The whole story is based on this place but we only get to go there for a few minutes. The kids aren’t treated to enough action for them to sit through a two hour-plus film. There are car chases and fighting robots, but these moments are few and far between. A lot of the movie is dialogue which will

Parts of Tomorrowland were filmed in the Enderby-Grindrod-Armstrong area. go over kids’ heads and most of that is either Clooney being gruff, Robertson fixing or answering everything with ease, or screaming. I’m very disappointed in it. I get the point of the film and I can appreciate it, but I’m still disappointed. By the way, did I tell you my daughter Brooke worked alongside Robertson when they filmed here? She spent three days/nights on the set as the double for Casey. TAYLOR: That’s cool. Lots of locals worked on the film and it’s very obvious which scenes were filmed around here.
It’s also fun to see the local scenery on the big screen. For the record though, Tomorrowland is worth watching on its own merits. It’s true younger kids aren’t going to enjoy it as much, but impressionable youths could only benefit from a dose of optimism, even if it is a Disney generated commercial for Star Wars. Adults will have to sit through some sticky schmaltz, but at least the future looks bright in Tomorrowland. – Taylor gives Tomorrowland 3.5 Bucky domes out of 5. – Howe gives it 2 grand entrances out of 5.

Musician Andrew Johns brings his one man show to The Green in the Village Green Hotel tonight. Johns does not deliver a one-man-band type of show – there are no cymbals pinned to his ears, no bass drum on his back– just a few keyboards and a drum machine, along with a huge and diverse repertoire. He has been compared to Victor Borge as his sometimes goofy nature and cerebral sense of humour shines through. Even Lady Gaga has been known to creep into the middle of one of his songs. Johns has the ability to mimic and cover many genres and styles. Basically, if he’s heard it, he can play it. caETaNI SUmmER mUSIc SERIES Second annual series is held the last Sunday of every month, May to September, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Caetani Cultural Centre, 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd.

Resort offers art workshops Morning Star Staff
With its off-the-grid location in the Creighton Valley, and Mongolian-style yurt, it’s no wonder artists flock to Bear Valley Highlands to retreat from the world and paint. The resort is hosting another season of art workshops facilitated by visual artists from all over Canada. This season the workshops will focus on plein air and landscape painting to take advantage of the wilderness setting just outside of Lumby. “With views of the Camels Hump to the west and the Monashee Mountains to the east, there is no shortage of painting possibilities and we have some expert artists coming our way to guide students in their painting process,” said Bear Valley owner Barbara Fresz. Workshops are open to all levels of painters. “Many artists shy away from plein air (painting on location), but once
they experience the different feeling from being outside and capturing the feel of the day, many of them become hooked on it,” said Fresz. For people interested in taking a workshop, but not wanting to stay overnight, the resort also offers a lunch only option. This year’s workshops are: Secrets of Colour, May 29 to 31, with Dominik Modlinski; Plein Air Landscape, June 12 to 15, with John Stuart Pryce; Painting the Landscape Indoors and Outdoors, June 20 to 23, with Gaye Adams; Pastel Plein Air and Composition, Sept. 17 to 20 with Susan Ogilvie and Pastel, Oil and Watercolour, Sept. 26 to 28 with Teresa Saia. Classes are limited to a maximum of 12 students so early registration is advisable. To register and for more information go to artworkshopsbc.com, e-mail info@bearvalleyhighlands.com or call 250-306-6762.
Auditions held for performance troupe
Morning Star Staff
After 18 years of postsecondary education and professional experience, Rachel Martens has returned to her hometown to give back to the community that facilitated her growth as a performing artist and an educator. Martens is starting the new Carriage House Performance Troupe at the Vernon Community Music School. Currently in the final months of her teaching assistantship and master’s of fine arts in interdisciplinary performance, Martens has performed in more than 30 productions in Montreal, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and New York City. “Working in humble collaborations and with world-class companies like Cirque du Soleil has given me a well-rounded and realistic understanding of what professional work in the performing arts demands,” she said. Her program at the VCMS will teach young artists how to transform their creative ideas into an original live performance. “Students develop skills in music, dance, and theatre by collaborating with peers to create a unique show that
has a powerful community-building message,” said Martens. Auditions for the Carriage House Performance Troupe, open to ages 10 to 16, take place in June.
Martens will also offer private lessons as well as body awareness and alignment workshops to both youth and adults. Contact her at rachelmartens100@hotmail. com or at 778-212-9642.

Students take the next ‘STEP’ Morning Star Staff
Local high school students are being encouraged to take the next step towards university. The Student Transition Enrichment Project or “The STEP” took place earlier this month in the Kalamalka secondary school theatre. Sam Bienias, Emma Levorson and Alex Lukey created this event and fully intend to provide this lecture in the following
years, and encourage people to take advantage of it to prepare themselves for the transition from high school to university. The presenters called the event a success, with an attendance of around 45 people from all across the Vernon School District, and say that knowing they helped even one student with the transition into university makes it a success. “We’re all very passionate
about paying it forward,” said Bienias. “By letting the high school students in Vernon know that being successful at university is possible, we hope to encourage more students to take initiative in their education. “We intend to repeat this event in following years as we’re all very passionate about encouraging post-secondary education.”
Grade 11 Kal student Liam Gall called it a great experience. “It offered very helpful insight for the future,” he said. Parent Carri Gauthier called STEP informative for both students and parents. “The STEP was a great way to get the students thinking about university life and how to begin preparing for their future education,” she said.

Morning Star Staff
Join JCI Vernon, Junction Literacy Centre and Watkin Motors Ford June 6 to support literacy in the community. Hosted at the Fairfield Inn & Suites on Anderson Way, the public is encouraged to come and test drive a Ford in order to raise money for literacy in the community. Ford Motor Company and its dealers launched a program called Drive 4 UR Community, designed to help raise funding for local community groups and nonprofit organizations. Watkin Motors will provide the cars to be test-driven. For every valid test drive completed per family, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the Junction Literacy Centre, up to a maximum of $6,000. “We are so grateful to Watkin Motors Ford for partnering with us to support literacy programs in our community,” said JCI Vernon member and event captain Karla Ziegler, “it’s an easy, no-cost way for the public to support a fundamental life skill. “There is absolutely no sales pressure. It’s a great opportuni-

Literacy Centre as a recipient for the event,” said executive director Wendy Aasen. “The donations will allow us to continue to provide literacy support to struggling students in an effort to improve their reading skills and boost their confidence.” Since the start of the project, JCI Vernon members have organized popcorn sales at the Christmas Light Up, Dog Treat sales, a Zumbathon and a drivethru breakfast, all benefiting various community groups.
During the Test Drive a Ford for Literacy event, JCI Vernon will also be hosting a concession and barbecue lunch sponsored by A&W Vernon, with proceeds going to the JCI Vernon scholarship fund with the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan. So bring your family out to Test Drive a Ford for Literacy June 6 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Fairfield Inn & Suites. For more information, see www.jcivernon.com or email info@jcivernon.com.

The more deluxe models add nicer materials, offering premium safety and audio technology. The Front Wheel Drive version could be a good urban choice but I think Canadians will opt for the AWD CX-3. The fuel economy numbers are not dramatically different between the two options – 7.6 L/100km (FWD) 8.1 L/100km (AWD), combined city/highway. The CX-3 should arrive in local dealerships any day now. Prices have just been released. The base GX FWD starts at $20,695, the AWD version adds two grand to the sticker price, and that is also the base price for the GS. The GT starts at a hefty $28,995 and rises to $30,495. Take a long look at the GS versions.

Yes, a longer wheelbase sacrifices a degree of agility, but adds much needed interior space and utility.

Fast-forward to the 2011 model year and Wrangler Unlimited may still look the same on the outside but it came with an all-new interior. Heated seats, climate control, new audio inputs, Bluetooth connectivity, power-heated side mirrors and a 115-volt electrical outlet, make roughing it outdoors just a tad more comfortable.

The 2012 Wrangler Unlimited got a new 3.6 litre V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Power output and fuel economy, however, are both roughly the same as the 3.8 litre V6 / four-speed automatic combo they replaced. No significant changes were made to Wrangler Unlimited for its 2013 or 2014 model years.

2011 – 2013: An electrical connector within the door may corrode and potentially result in an electrical short, on vehicles equipped with power heated mirrors. Dealers will modify electrical wiring and install a water shield. 2012 /2013: The power steering return line may wear against the automatic transmission oil cooler line, causing a transmission fluid leak. Dealers will either add a protective sleeve or replace the transmission line. 2011: A missing or incorrectly installed steering column pivot rivet may not perform as intended in a crash and increase the risk of personal injury. Dealers will inspect for steering column rivet presence and alignment, and repair as required. 2010 / 2011: Fastener torque for various front and rear axle attachments may degrade over time, due to variability in the axle painting process.

�������������������� ����������������� Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE HIGH-CARD POINTS POINT THE WAY HOME Bertolt Brecht, a German playwright and poet who died in 1956, said, “If there are obstacles, the shortest line between two points may be a crooked line.” If there are obstacles to better play at the bridge table, it is often thinking in crooked lines, not on a straight path. Today’s deal is an example. How should South plan the play in four spades? West leads a heart. East wins with his king, cashes the heart ace, and shifts to a low club. Note the bidding. North’s two-heart cue-bid showed at least 12 high-card points
(or a super 11). Then his raise to three spades indicated a minimum. But South knew his partnership had at least 26 combined points, so he went on to game. He was also aware that from the auction, he would be able to place the cards better than if the opponents had passed throughout. When I run this deal in classes, it is disappointing how many declarers cannot resist the temptation of the spade finesse, because it looks like the standard play. But the better players take a few moments to count up the high-card points. Since dummy and declarer combined have 27, the defenders have only 13, yet East opened the bidding. He
must have the spade king. So South should play a spade to dummy’s ace, then lead a low spade. When the king pops up, declarer can claim. If you count only one thing at the bridge table, make it high-card points. You will find apparent guesses becoming certainties.

Marion Evelyn Davison 1928 - 2015 We are sad to announce the passing of Marion Davison, 86, of Vernon, B.C. on May 19, 2015. She was proud to be from the Swift pioneer family of Vernon. Marion was the last surviving child of thirteen children born to Reuben and Mary Swift. She is survived by her loving husband of sixtyfive years, Art Davison; two sons Guy (Lisa) and Todd and daughter Brenda (David). She also is survived by nine grandchildren: Josh, Kori, Leigha, Trevor, Christopher, Brandon, Chelsea, Brianna and Connor and by four great-grandchildren. Marion was an early member of the Vernon Pipe Band playing the pipes and drumming. She enjoyed curling and was an avid hockey fan watching Art play for the Vernon Canadians. She worked for the T. Eaton Co. and the Hudson Bay Co. at the old store and later at the Mall. She loved golfing, arts and crafts and hiking the hills of Vernon. She instilled a love of music in all of us as we listened to her favourite jazz songs or sang along to pop pieces. She created memorable times for us picnicking in Polson Park or Okanagan and Kal Lakes. She was the glue to having everyone attend family reunions and get-togethers. Everyone loved Auntie Marion! Her garden gave her much happiness; spring planting was her favourite time of year. Mom will be greatly missed by her family and friends. In lieu of flowers please donate to a charity of your choice.

Kidney disease strikes families, not only individuals. THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA www.kidney.ca
The Child and Youth counselling programs at Family Resource Centre are busy as more and more children and youth have challenges coping with the stresses of their lives. Here are two compilations of typical situations we encounter with this program and do not represent any one client. When Danny first came to FRC he would cry and cry. He did not want to come to appointments and would only attend if his mom came too. His parents had recently separated, and he was having tummy aches and refusing to go to school. He would keep his head down and refuse to engage in activities. After working with Danny and his mom for several sessions, Dannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anxiety had settled a bit and he was able to attend on his own. He still made limited eye contact but would sometimes give input on what he wanted to do in session. At FRC, Danny had a safe place to talk about his feelings, and after many visits, and much counselling, he was reporting less tummy aches and able to go to school consistently. Danny still has some anxiety but is aware this is a normal emotion and has the tools to help him manage his feelings. Sherry was a 14 year old teenage girl whose parents brought her in for services after Sherry stopped attending school due to bullying and high social anxiety. Sherryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social anxiety was so bad that she was unable to participate in any activities previously enjoyed. Sherry became isolated, depressed and started to self-harm. When Sherry came in for services she was able to learn coping strategies for helping with emotion regulation through counselling, particularly art therapy. Once Sherry had developed some skills for coping, her counsellor and family worked closely with the school and she gradually returned to school. Sherry had some challenges when re-integrating back into school, however within 3 months she was back at school full time and was feeling back to her old self.
Together we can build a healthier community.
