Forget an egg on a sidewalk, it’s hot enough to melt the record book. The temperature soared to 34.2 Celsius in Vernon Monday, cracking the previous all-time high for June 8, which was 31.1 in 1908. “It’s really smashing a record,” said Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. The normal daytime temperature for this time of the year is 23. The scorching heat had local residents heading for shade and air-conditioned homes and vehicles, and in some cases, they were plunging into Kalamalka Lake. But the heat wave has created challenges for Vernon’s homeless and transient population. “We’ve had more people coming in and they’re asking for water,” said Lisa Anderson, with the Upper Room Mission. “But our building is so hot so it’s been difficult.” Similar weather conditions have been reported across B.C. “There were 14 records set around the province,” said Coldwells. Among them was a blistering 36.7 in Penticton. “It is unusually warm for the beginning of June,” said Coldwells. Vernon’s forecast high for Tuesday was 31 and depending on conditions, Coldwells says it may have been possible to break the June 9 record of 32.2 in 1969. “If you like heat, this is the perfect week for you,” said Coldwells. “The bulk of the week will still be very warm — close to 30 if not 30.” However, get ready to cool off as a cold front is expected to move into the North Okanagan late Thursday night and early Friday morning. “The temperature (Friday) will only be 21. It will be a dramatic change,” said Coldwells.

Tougher stance sought on bypass richard rolke
“This whole page-anda-half has a negative feel to it.”
Morning Star Staff
City of Vernon staff have been accused of watering down a potential highway bypass. Council members were not pleased Monday with an addition to the draft master transportation plan that references the possibility of an alternate route to Highway 97 in the future. “This whole page-and-a-half has a negative feel to it – ‘We put it in because we were asked to but we really don’t want to include it,’” said Coun. Catherine Lord. Two weeks ago, council was presented with the transportation plan and they asked administration to include wording about a future bypass. What came forward Monday, in part,
— Lord
stated, “should the city decide to identify a possible transportation corridor within Vernon that could eventually be used for a highway bypass, doing so does not commit the Ministry of Transportation to constructing it.” Coun. Brian Quiring was not impressed. “I’d like to be a bit more definitive in the language,” he said.
“In 25 years, we will need it and we won’t have any provisions for it.” Coun. Juliette Cunningham suggested that staff ’s actions now are a departure from six years ago when they pushed for a bypass. “I’m concerned that because it was a hot potato (then), we are avoiding it.” Council members are also demanding ongoing discussions with the ministry about Vernon’s long-term transportation needs. “We need to take a stand and keep it on the ministry’s radar,” said Lord. Further discussion on the draft master transportation plan will be held July 22. “We need to get to a plan. It’s important to have it (bypass) in there,” said Mayor Akbal Mund.
WorkSafe B.C. and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement are investigating an accident in the Foothills Monday. A tow truck driver for a Vernon towing company suffered serious injuries when his truck rolled on him shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Apex Drive. “The driver was there to pick up a vehicle that had broken down,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He had the vehicle hooked up and was in the last portion of his duty when the truck rolled back over top of him.” Molendyk said a witness at the scene jumped into the tow truck and moved it forward off of the injured driver, who was trapped under the tow truck’s rear wheels. The driver was then transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. His condition was unknown as of noon Tuesday. RCMP called WorkSafe B.C. shortly before 1 p.m. “Two officers were sent to the site,” said Trish Knight Chernecki, with WorkSafe B.C. “An investigating officer went and a prevention officer was dispatched to make sure other workers, if there were other workers, were safe and no other employees were at risk.” The file remains under investigation.

Gymnasts want home richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A group of gymnasts wants to avoid financial hurdles for local taxpayers. The North Valley Gymnastics Society is proposing to construct a 12,000-square-foot building and it would be responsible for debt servicing and operation costs. “We don’t want to put a burden on taxpayers,” president Rob Vat told Vernon council Monday. The society is asking the city to provide a serviced location for a gymnastics facility and to provide a loan guarantee. But the society says its commitment includes covering the down payment, debt servicing, equipment and operation and management. “We’re not asking for a multi-million-dollar facility,” said Vat, adding that the group has the ability to handle a mortgage. Currently, the society leases a 5,000-squarefoot facility and the space has become inadequate because of strong demand for programs. The staff of 15 trains 600 people a week and there is a wait list for registration. Most of the participants are between the ages of five and 12 and the society also works with schools
“We need to look at it seriously.”
— Cunningham and individuals with developmental disabilities. “The place is hopping seven days a week,” said Vat. There is tentative interest among Vernon politicians about the society’s plan. “It’s similar to the indoor soccer centre where the taxpayer was never on the hook,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. It has been suggested that the society also make a presentation to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, which is involved in recreation. “They’ve really thought out the cost and are willing to fundraise. We need to look at it seriously,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who is GVAC chairperson. The club’s current lease is done in January 2018 and the goal is to have a new facility by then.

No funding for Canada Day Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Coldstream isn’t pumping any additional pride into national celebrations. Council agreed, with the exception of Coun. Pat Cochrane, Monday not to fund Canada Day celebrations in Polson Park July 1. “We already contributed through RDNO,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. The Regional District of North Okanagan is providing $2,000, and those funds will come from all area jurisdictions, while Vernon has contributed $1,000. The Vernon Canada Day Committee’s request was also off line with Coldstream’s budgeting schedule. Coldstream typically deals with financial requests from non-profit organizations prior to Sept. 30, which is the dead-

line for applications. This is the second year in a row that the Canada Day Committee has failed to submit its request in time. Last year, Coldstream contributed $500 towards the celebrations but informed the committee that it needed to get its application in prior to the deadline. “They knew our process,” said Dirk. “In the future, they need to come with a budget and go through our grant-inaid process.” The Canada Day commit-
tee had asked Coldstream for $1,000 - to match Vernon’s support. “Canada Day celebrations are a traditional event at Polson Park, and attract people from all walks of life from throughout the region,” said Ken Barker, a member of the committee. “As usual, events will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will include numerous activities for children as well as local food vendors and the musical attractions. This year, we are also expanding to include a classic car show.”

The price of patriotism
C
anada Day festivities are being nickled and dimed to death. On Monday, Coldstream council turned down a request from the volunteer organizing committee for $1,000 for the July 1 Polson Park celebration. “We already contributed through RDNO,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. And that is the case as all Regional District of North Okanagan member jurisdictions fund the chairperson’s discrectionary fund, which is the source of $2,000 being provided to the Vernon event. However, to get a broader perspective of the issue, one has to look at how much each jurisdiction is actually contributing to the $2,000 based on Richard Rolke RDNO’s 2015 tax requisition. For Coldstream, its share of the regional district pie is $255. That is significantly less than the $500 the municipality donated individually to Canada Day, as well as its roughly $255 portion of the RDNO package, in 2014. Now it should be pointed out that Coldstream doesn’t have its own Canada Day celebrations. If residents of the district want to wave the flag, they head to Polson Park and they do so by the hundreds. That means they are accessing the music, the games and other activities that contribute to the organizing committee’s budget. Looking further at the figures, the City of Vernon is directing $1,000 individually to the celebration and also picking up $1,000 of the $2,000 RDNO contribution. For some Vernon residents and particularly those in favour of amalgamation, all they will see is that Coldstream isn’t pulling its weight. Of course they will also say that’s the case for the two electoral areas in Greater Vernon, who will only chip in $230 towards RDNO’s $2,000.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
And it’s unfortunate that politicians have placed Coldstream and BX residents in the position of being portrayed as free-loaders. Why there is such resistance among elected officials to rally behind the national birthday party is difficult to determine, although some of it is linked to bureaucracy. This is the second year in a row that the Canada Day committee has failed to submit a grant request to Coldstream by council’s Sept. 30 deadline. The volunteers were warned last year. “They knew our process,” said Dirk. “In the future, they need to come with a budget and go through our grant-in-aid process.” And Dirk has a point as all jurisdictions determine months in advance what revenue they will need to function for the coming year. That process includes setting a deadline for grant applications from non-profit organizations. By coming late to the table, the Canada Day committee is creating challenges for politicians who are trying to administer tax dollars, particularly well into the current budget cycle. They are also sidestepping a process other groups were required to follow, and possibly some of those charities didn’t make the financial cut. åBy providing the Canada Day committee with cash at the 11th hour, other worthwhile groups are essentially being told that deadlines mean nothing. But while the Canada Day committee needs to follow the rules, Coldstream council should have at least contributed what it did in 2014. Yes tax dollars are finite and yes the event is in Vernon, but the reality is that some issues go beyond lines on a map and love of country should be encouraged. Coldstream, Vernon and electoral area politicians have spent considerable time in recent years finding an equitable way to provide parks and recreation services. And if such major obstacles can be overcome, let’s hope everyone will be on board for Canada Day 2016.
We’ve got the report from the Truth and Reconciliation commission now, but what happens from here? Seven years ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a formal apology for the residential school system and the Truth and Reconciliation commission began its work. The resulting report is damning, including an accusation that Canada was committing cultural genocide. The report also made it clear this wasn’t a problem of the distant past, but a very real issue still affecting First Nations people today. After all, as the report points out, the government compelled aboriginal parents to give up their children until the late ’60s, tearing an estimated 150,000 children out of their homes to send them to schools where they were taught their culture, their language and their very identity was worthless. The consequences still echo down through the generations. That’s not an easy thing to bear, even for the collective conscience of a country. But is the issuing of this report going to change anything? Since Harper’s apology on behalf of Canada, change has been slow. Over the last five years, the Department of Indian Affairs has held back $1 billion in spending that should have been targeted at social services. We can hope that the government will act on the 94 recommendations in the report, especiaslly those aimed at breaking down the barriers of prejudice, and the lack of resources in schools, hospitals and prisons. But even if the federal government fails to act, we can, and should, continue to work at the local level building relationships and agreements between our communities for the benefit of all. — Penticton Western News

Transportation plan a concern
I
read with interest the comment in the paper regarding the draft transportation plan. In it, it says one of the issues is to get people to abandon their cars and walk, cycle or use transit. A nice idea but.... I for one, walk and ride for recreation. I do this on back roads or trails away from traffic as even with the bike lanes, I am still taking my life in my hands. As I have got older, I can neither walk nor bike as far as I used to due to injuries and arthritis. I also wonder how I would carry all of the things I need to carry in my car, such as groceries, if I were to abandon my car. Not going to happen. As for transit, I would love to use transit. However, as I start work at 6 a.m., there are no buses running then, so it's not a viable option for me. At 6 p.m. when I am off work, I need to get home to my family, and cannot spend an hour or more making transfers, etc. While I'm sure there are some people who do walk/ride to work, and wanting to go green is admirable, for most of us, abandoning our cars is not a viable option. As many of our work schedules don't AROUND TOWN As of late, I am still walking and have noticed for some time that in the downtown and surrounding areas, there was an issue which was a concern. I noticed in many areas that littering was very major. At times I would see people throw garbage and not think anything about it. Well I just wish to make note of my experience as I see it. Do people not realize that there are so many things about our community that we have which are gifts. I am thankful to those who help keep our streets clean. This valley, if one has not realized, is the land of milk and honey. We are so fortunate to have both. And this may seem biblical, however, we also live in a valley full of mansions. There is so much beauty in the area. To conclude, thank you for all of those who make this area beautiful. Please keep in mind how, when we work together, that we
fit with transit times, again, not a viable option. Perhaps Vernon planners should accept that abandoning our vehicles, is not going to happen, move on and spend money where it is really needed, like paving roads in the city, etc. Just a thought. Also, while on the topic of bicycles, I have to put my two cents worth in on the renting of bicycles from the tourist information booth on 39th Avenue. Where exactly are these tourists supposed to ride? They are on one of the busiest streets in the city. If they try to cross the highway, they are putting themselves at risk, and to cycle downtown, they must use some of the roughest streets in the city with no bike lanes. They cannot ride on the sidewalks, so where are they supposed to safely ride these rental bicycles? If they want to ride in Polson Park, they have to cross some of the roughest and busiest streets in the city. We do not have a nice bike path like Kelowna's waterfront. Perhaps the money being used to set up this service could be spent on something more worthwhile. Bob Cail
can show the world what a community can be like. Dahlia Senft WATER WOES I note that during the recent B.C. Water Week, we all celebrated the fact that in Vernon, we are allowed to pay three times what the domestic water consumers pay in Kelowna but only double what they pay in Penticton.

identified as the future home of an art gallery. With this reasoning, if the special container project had been set up at the new running track, we could end up with our new gallery overlooking Kal Lake. Dave Tompson NO DOGS ON BEACHES Kelowna has steadily expanded its dogs allowed policy in parks and beaches from 35 per cent just six years ago to almost 70 per cent today. This dramatically more dog friendly shift has been featured on Global News. It extends to Kelowna’s hotels and even up to Big White Ski Resort where dogs can run scenic trails and ride the gondola. More bags are provided and failure to clean up leads to a steep fine. Compliance is way up. Coincidentally, Kelowna’s economy took off. Sadly, Vernon has gone in the opposite direction. Most people, especially the best and the brightest, prefer to
vacation or live in tolerant and inclusive places. Greater Vernon needs forward-thinking politicians enlightened by an advisory committee capable of gathering accurate information. Jane Eason ROUNDABOUT NEEDED The controversy over the Stickle Road access question could be solved quite easily with the installation of a roundabout (traffic circle) at that junction. In Europe, it is very common to drive up to what are called roundabout interchanges, which direct traffic from a major highway to a smaller road or vice versa. The Stickle Road situation would appear to be ideal for this kind of construction. Has anyone or any government organization considered a roundabout as a solution? Common sense would indicate that this would address everyone’s concerns. Jo Jones

Morning Star Staff
The Historic O’Keefe Ranch is going to the dogs, but not literally. The ranch is paying tribute to man’s best friend with some new events and attractions, such as Dog Daze on the Ranch. The new event, with the Vernon and District Kennel Club, gets underway Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We have a special guest attending, Miss P (the beagle),” said Sandi LaFleche, event co-ordinator at the ranch. “She is the 2015 Westminster Dog Show winner from Enderby.” The day of fun includes dog agility at 10 a.m., Meet the Breed at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., junior handlers CKC demo dog show at 1 p.m., sheep herding at 3 p.m. and an appearance at 3:30 by Miss P (call name for Peyton whose real name is Tashtins Lookin for Trouble). “We’re going to give it a try and hopefully its something we can build on over the future,” said ranch general manager Glen Taylor, of the inaugural Dog Daze With working dogs on the ranch, this will be the one day when the public is asked to leave their dogs at home. But it is also a chance to spread the word about a little known fact that the ranch is open to dogs. “What we’re trying to do is promote the ranch as being dog-friendly,” said Taylor. Dogs are allowed onsite on a leash, they’re just not allowed in any of the buildings. And the ranch is building a special space for all

Artist John Waite, left, shows his paintings, including Remnants, depicting the hills around his farm on the Commonage, at the The Taste of Art in Armstrong Saturday. Waite’s exhibition, Thickets, continues at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery for the month of June. Local duo Ginger & Rose, Jayme McKillop and Lowell Friesen, perform for the crowd outside the Brown Derby. Musicians and artists joined local businesses, cheese makers, farmers, brewers, distillers and vintners for the walking tour offering all the tastes of Armstrong.

A sort of homecoming on Fertile Ground
lthough I lived in many different towns growing up, I spent the bulk of my childhood in Armstrong and refer to it as my hometown. Living in a smaller town, especially a farming community, allows citizens a quieter, more relaxed pace of life. When you move away from that pace and then return, it becomes more noticeable. Someone else who grew up in Armstrong, moved away and came back, is playwright and director Mark Trussell. The Asparagus Community Theatre is currently presenting Brian Taylor his play Fertile Ground at the Centennial Theatre in Armstrong. The play is a comedy about a misunderstanding that centres around a young couple, David and Deanna (Phelan Gotto and Kaila Sinclair), who are visiting his parents, laid-back, hippy-type Armstrongians Adam and Leona (Buck Crich and Mary Ann Domarchuk). When Deanna’s notoriously uptight, conservative Calgarian parents, Jim and Pam (Paul Kirkwood-Hackett and Lois Archer-Duell), show up, the tension escalates as do the misunderstandings. David’s confusion concerning his mom having to kill a mouse leads to his thinking she has murdered a homeless person named
THEATRE REVIEW
Brian taylor
The cast of Fertile Ground, Lois Archer-Duell, left, Kaila Sinclair, Paul Kirkwood-Hackett, Aileen Brand, Phelan Gotto, Mary Ann Domarchuk and Buck Crich take a bow. Daisy (Aileen Brand), whom Leona allows into her home to eat, with the door always unlocked. “She just kept coming around and coming around, getting into my brownies,” says Leona. David goes from disbelief, to horror, into shock as the story progresses, which provides a great deal of the comedy, but there is just as much happening in the background. The extremity of the two sets of parents, on either side of the political,
social, cultural scale, is also joke inducing. Where Adam and Leona are in your face about yoga, home birthing and maybe not going into the greenhouse, Jim and Pam are quietly drunk, unhappy and mean, but in a funny way. Taking place entirely in the kitchen of Adam and Leona’s home, both the set and the action are particularly rich. Colourful and adorned with many accoutrements one would expect, the set made a very convincing home, providing the eye much to examine.
During the entire play, the characters prepared and ate real food and drink, in a fully functional kitchen. Not only providing a free plug for delicious Armstrong asparagus but pulling the audience into a normal, comfortable familiarity via methods difficult to achieve on stage. During all this, many subtle jokes are also cleverly interwoven, such as drunk Pam tapping her glass when it is once again empty. Ultimately, I think Fertile Ground is about a little more than what sits on the surface, a funny misunderstanding and dichotomous personal preferences. While showing us where these characters currently are in their lives, the story springs forth from where they came. They are all the products of the fertile ground of their own hometowns. Perhaps people can’t help but come together in groups that differ in small but noticeable ways, a particular foible, leaning or manner, such is culture. Distance makes those cultures differ further, such as in the case of Deanna’s parents, the Calgarians. Admittedly, this is not particularly scientific, but it does make for a very funny play and it is well executed. Produced by Lara Sheridan and Mandy Penner, Fertile Ground continues today through Saturday. Curtain is at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at The Guy Next Door, 3450A Okanagan St., Armstrong, call 250546-0950 or get them at the door. The play features some coarse language.

“We do art because of madness. We do art to play,” said Gale Woodhouse, instructor of the Source of Inspiration class while speaking to the crowd of art lovers at the Vernon Community Arts Centre Thursday night. More than 50 people of all ages came to enjoy the opening reception of the art centre’s June exhibit. The exhibit, Source of Inspiration, features artwork from the art centre’s class of the same name. The work reveals both the progression and product of the artistic process. Students were asked to bring to the table something that inspired them – ranging from swimming salmon to a beloved garden – and then push themselves to go somewhere they’d never been. The responses, as vocalized by each of the artists at the opening reception, were heartfelt and raw. A variety of mediums are on display, including pencil charcoal, acrylic and pastel paintings, acrylic skins, photography, ceramics, glass fusing, resin, and collage. This diverse collection features work by artists AJ Jaeger, Chris

Fulton secondary drama students Taeus Brandt as Lord Vaknor, Michael Bernal as Dr. Deco, and Reid Folk as Zargo star in the sci-fi farce Episode 26.
Fulton enters a new dimension Morning Star Staff
Those whose lucky number is 26, or need to cool down with some sci-fi shenanigans, will want to head to Clarence Fulton Secondary School this week. The school’s drama department is about to stage Howard Korder’s farcical sci-fi play Episode 26. The play should appeal to those fans of Doctor Who, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and Guardians Of The Galaxy – think brave space adventurers, evil star lords and bug-like aliens. “This comedy is about galosh fortune heir Buzz Gatecrasher and his friends, aqua-ballerina Hillen Dale and
mysterious Doctor Deco, as they travel through the stratosphere in order to save mankind from a deadly peril,” said Sean Levi, Fulton drama teacher. “However, their plans to find peace go awry when they accidentally land on Planet Darvon and encounter the evil Lord Vaknor and his minions.” Visitors can catch this sci-fi trip through time and space at Fulton’s small gym theatre, Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the Fulton office. Cost is $5 for students and seniors and $10 for adults.

“
Bring out the berries
Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.” — Dr. William Butler, 17th century English writer Butler is referring to the strawberry, a member of the rose family, the only fruit with seeds on the outside, some 200 of Cathi Litzenberger them in fact, and is the first fruit of the spring season. Since ancient times, strawberries have been promoted for their healing properties as they are an excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant nutrient that helps protect our body’s cells from damage. They also contain folate, fiber, potassium and a little iron. The first recipe today will be a hit with kids and adults alike, with its mixture of strawberries, bananas, blueberries and ice-cream all on top of a crunchy, wafflecone crust. The second is a confetti of bright, sunny flavours, a strawberry salsa that adds an over-the-top finish to grilled pork, beef, chicken or even fried catfish. Strawberry Smoothie Ice-Cream Pie 1 (7-ounce) package waffle cones, broken into pieces 6 tablespoons butter, melted 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 2 (1-quart) containers premium vanilla ice cream, divided

meetings whenever he can and sponsors new members. For many years, it was something he could never have thought he would be doing. “I started drinking when I was about 13, mainly to fit in with the other kids, to have a sense of belonging. Nobody in my family drank but looking back I can see I had some of the characteristics of alcoholic behaviour from a young age, negativity, not showing emotions and no sense of belonging,” he said. The drinking continued throughout his teenage years when he and friends would often sneak out of school and church events to drink. “My parents thought we were OK because

“I realized there was much more to sobriety than just quitting drinking.” — Norm
we were at church. I felt better about myself when I had some alcohol in me. By Grade 12, I was drinking every weekend, even getting into bars and the drinking age was 21 then. I played rugby and the coach used to turn a blind eye to beer in the dressing room. I missed a lot of school but I managed to work part time and to graduate.” Norm started working in construction and drank more and more. “It was totally acceptable. If you didn’t drink, people thought you were weird. Now there is much more information about drinking and other addictions, even in schools. There is more access to AA and treatment programs,” he said. After he married and moved to the Okanagan, he sometimes thought he was drinking too much, but never for long. “I played fast ball and drank after games and after work and kept things acceptable at home. I also did a lot of fishing, hunting and camping where alcohol was always involved. I think many of the people I hung out with were alcoholics whether they realized it or not. I didn’t realize it about myself. My drinking progressed, even after my first child was born.” In the late 1970s work took him to
Northern B.C. while his wife and child stayed in the Okanagan. “Things were good financially. I had no one to answer to, nothing else to do, so I drank more. There were no consequences. His wife moved north and they had another child. Work slowed down.” “I thought maybe I shouldn’t be drinking so much for any number of reasons, but I did. I was a functioning alcoholic, always working, but thing were bad at home.” Another move, this time to the Lower Mainland with a new job and new friends. “I didn’t drink at home. My thinking was if my family didn’t see me drink then it wasn’t a problem.” The new friends got hold of seven tons of grapes and made 45 barrels of zinfandel so good that local Italians were buying it. They drank most of the wine, then made moonshine from the stems, seeds and skins in a homemade still. “My wife and kids moved out. I thought it was a problem that could be fixed by accepting me the way I was. I did quit for about a year but it was a miserable year because quitting drinking is probably 10 per cent of recovery and the rest is the mental and spiritual
part, how you deal with life and relationships.” Norm divorced, moved back to the Okanagan and started drinking again. I met my second wife, who was also an alcoholic and she tolerated a lot of drinking. I say I was drunk when I met her, drunk when I married her and drunk when I divorced her. “I was getting sick and tired of myself and spiritually bankrupt and negative in my approach to everything. Even my drinking friends were suggesting I slow down. When my sister suggested treatment, I resisted at first. I finally let her take me to a treatment centre in the winter of 1996 but even then I had to stop for one last beer on the way. It took 58 days but I sobered up. “I got into the AA program, which really opened up my eyes. I realized there was much more to sobriety then just quitting drinking. I stayed sober for 10 years then started slacking off the program. I became what was supposed to be a silent partner in a business, a bar and restaurant. What more does an alcoholic want than his own bar?” When his partner left suddenly, he had to take over running the business and he started drinking again. In the back of his mind, he knew he had to go back to AA and he did. “I’ve been sober for four years now. This time I know I have it. I have changed so much doing the program and being involved. That’s a big point. I have some-
times gone to meetings feeling bad but I went anyway and I have never left a meeting feeling bad. “You can go to a meeting anywhere in the world. There are at least three meetings every day in the area, one at 7 a.m., one at noon and one at 5 p.m. and more in the evenings. Everyone has time to go. You find the time to drink, don’t you?” As well as the regular meetings, AA has social activities, including campouts and national and international conventions for members in 180 countries. Last year’s Vernon Round Up saw 2,700 years of combined sobriety in one room, one person for 54 years. Even that person said, “I’m sober for today.” “People are getting help at a younger age and that’s encouraging,” said Norm. “So in the general public with awareness of addictions and treatment. If we change our thinking, we can get better. There’s help to do that.” The 43rd Annual Vernon Round Up will be held Friday and Saturday at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 5151 Alain Rd. Registration begins at 5 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. on Saturday. Throughout the two days, there will be speakers from both AA and Alanon, as well as meetings. The registration fee of $40 includes potluck desserts, breakfast, a dance on Saturday and a weekend of fellowship. For more information, call Jean at 250-351-5839.

Star bike park ready for season Morning Star Staff
Silver Star Mountain Resort’s bike park is ready to ride. The bike park is open for two bonus weekends this Saturday and Sunday and June 20 to 21, with daily operations starting on June 25 and continuing until Sept. 7. “The warmer than usual spring and rapid snow melt meant our trail crew got out sooner than expected and we can offer riders an additional bonus weekend,” said Ian Ian Galbraith Galbraith, summer business manager. “We will definitely have the vast majority of trails open for Saturday, and are working really hard to get the whole park ready.” The early bird weekend for bike enthusiasts coincides with the 5K Foam Fest at Silver Star Saturday. The event will see thousands of participants charge through 20 obstacles during the ‘funcore’ event. “This season is getting off to a great start,” said Galbraith. “We recently achieved International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) Silver Level Ride Centre status, and were selected as the #2 best bike park in Western Canada by the Riders’ Choice Awards. It is going to be an exciting summer.”

6 Years in Vernon
“Take a look at my BEFORE picture and you can see I was very overweight. What you don’t see is how very unhealthy I was, how frustrated, sad and constantly exhausted I felt. In a few short months, U Weight Loss Clinic taught me the science behind long-term weight loss and management. I’m actually part of the healthy coach team now and I absolutely love showing people how easy it is to manager your weight the U Weight Loss way. For 6 years now, this program has given people like me, here in Vernon, our lives back! Now it’s YOUR TURN ... would love to show you how Amazing U Weight Loss Clinic really is.” More importantly, I have kept if off for 2 yrs now and am excited to start another year, still a size 4. (I still love saying that..)
Why did you join U Weight Loss Clinics? Constantly struggling with my weight, starving myself and getting headaches, no energy, poor sleep and fighting depression.... I was so desperate for help and answers. Q: How much weight have you lost?
certain foods to stop cravings and mood swings.
A: 65lbs in 30 weeks.! I went from a size 18 to a size 4....and have remained there for almost 2 yrs now. I lost almost 7 lbs in my first week and that was a great kickstart.
I loved the fast results, and the fact it wasn’t actually a diet but just a way of making simple changes.
Q: What was the final straw that made you decide to start U Weight Loss Clinic?
Learning the simple science behind the program was very useful..and oh my, the recipes!
A: Desperate for results, I had bought some diet pills off the shelf at the grocery store. I started taking them and could not stop crying; they really did a number on me. I really felt awful and out of control. Of course my clothes were so uncomfortable. I was just so frustrated and fed up. I was alternately exercising and starving myself with NO REAL RESULTS. Q: How did you feel about seeking help at U weight loss Clinic? Honestly, I was sceptical. I feared that U weight loss was just another gimmick,even, though I had living proof that it worked .. You may have seen pictures of my friend Gavin who lost over 160 lbs at U weight loss Clinics. I watched him go through his transformation and it was amazing .. But I still lacked confidence in everything to do with diets and feared it might not actually work for me as absolutely nothing else ever had!! Finally, desperate and fed up starving myself and STILL not losing weight, I went to U weight loss clinic here in Vernon. Q: So you what did you like most about the program? A: First of all, I was totally amazed at the amount of food I was eating..and all of it delicious. I learned I had to speed up my body’s metabolism in order to burn fat. I also learned the power of combining
More of an education plus great coaching and support.
I can honestly say I was never an experimental cook. I Am now!!!!! Now I create my own recipes. Also the energy I have now is incredible! Q: Any Regrets? A: I do regret that previously, I was so VERY MISINFORMED about weight loss. It’s really so simple..and I can tell you, starving has no part of it. People who watch me eat are always shocked how much food I actually ate while I was losing my weight at U Weightless, and still continue to consume 2 yrs later.
50% OFF
ALL
PROGRAMS
After The idea is to set your own body’s metabolism on fire and keep it that way by eating the U Weight Loss way. Q: How do you feel now? A: I feel like I can conquer just about anything now.
During
Q: Any Advice for someone still thinking of losing some extra pounds? A: Please DON’T procrastinate ...make yourself a priority. Love your self. That old formula of “EAT LESS AND EXERCISE MORE“ IS SO ANTIQUATED AND DOESN’T WORK!! I am now a senior Health Coach at the U weight Loss clinic in Vernon. If you have given up on losing weight please give us a chance to change your mind.. This simple knowledge totally changed my life and I would love to help change yours!

“Spring sales activity has been brisk.” — Chris Miller
Shuswap were steady in May and days on market continued to improve,” said Christopher Miller, OMREB president. “Overall, spring sales activity has been brisk to date,” Miller reports. “Well-positioned and well-presented homes are in demand and selling quickly in all markets within our board area, and the houses sold were on market an average of 82 days during May compared to 106 last year at this time.” While Alberta home buyers and retirees seem to have been only modestly affected by the recent decline in oil prices and continue to participate in 10 per cent to 15 per cent of home sales in the region – especially in the Central Okanagan – the North Okanagan and Shuswap markets have experienced some pullback in activity from these segments. Despite rallying in April, the North Okanagan saw an 11 per cent slip in single family residential sales during May compared to 2014, resulting in an
eight per cent decline year-to-date. The softer market may be attributed in part to oil patch workers who live in the area and work in Alberta, and are facing employment uncertainty and financial instability.

Unless two speedsters somehow break her record in the next few weeks, Vernon phenom Hannah Bennison will run the 3,000-metre race at the World Youth Track Meet, July 10-20, in Colombia. At 90 pounds and “almost five feet”, the Grade 10 Bennison took on the big girls Saturday and won the 3,000 in a record 9:33.44 in the Subway B.C. High School Track and Field Championships at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park. The VSS student broke the 9:37.20 set in 1984 by Kelowna-Mt. Boucherie Bears’ runner Brenda Shackleton in 1984. Hannah’s mom, Anne, used to compete against Shackleton as a youngster. Bennison struck silver in Friday’s 1,500, in a junior record 4:29.72 West Van Sentinel Spartan senior Nicole Hutchinson won gold in 4:27.63. Bennison’s previous best in the 3,000 was a 9:43. “It (record) was in the back of my mind,” said Bennison. “I wasn’t sure how I would do in the 3,000, but once I got running after my warm-up, I felt pretty good. “I was hoping to get the record. I got into a zone I guess. You just don’t feel the pain once you get into a rhythm.” Bennison breezed to victory in the 3,000 with runner-up Enid Au of Vancouver-Killarney Cougars second in 10:25.04. Glynis Sim of the Salmon Arm Golds, who won the 1,500 steeplechase, finished third in 10:28.83. Sim trains with the Vernon
AAA Club. Bennison, who crossed the finish to the chants of a large crowd Saturday, was named the meet’s Most Inspirational Athlete. Bennison, who turns 16 on Aug. 29, is ranked No. 1 in Canada so qualifies for the worlds. The junior nationals go in Edmonton later this month. She trains under former Olympic middle distance runner Malindi Elmore and UBCO cross-country coach Nate Reiter three times a week in Kelowna. In the fall, she won the provincial high school cross-country crown. Jared Sexsmith of Charles Bloom Timberwolves took silver in the senior men’s high jump with a leap of 1.90 metres. Gold went to Joel Della Siegl of the Elgin Park Orcas of Surrey. Trinity Hansma of Pleasant Valley Saints claimed a silver in the junior girls high jump at 1.65 metres. Alexa Propaczy of Semiahmoo Totems of Surrey produced gold at 1.70m. Jordan Campagnolo of A.L. Fortune Falcons placed eighth in the junior men’s discus with a toss of 34.22 metres. Landon Matties of the Vernon Christian School Royals was 10th in the senior men’s high jump with a 5.76m. The Grade 8 Invitational was held in conjunction with the provincials and Jaeda Ostoforoff of Len Wood Middle School in Armstrong bagged bronze medals in the 80 hurdles (17.94m) and 100-metre dash (13.20). She was fourth in the 200m in 27.79.
After coaching pro and teenage players for three years near Paris, Bryant Perrier will be living and working in Armstrong. The 50-year-old Penticton native is the new head coach/GM of the North Okanagan Knights. Perrier replaces Vernon’s Jim Armstrong with the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League franchise. Former Knights’ owner Chuck Gallacher, of Kelowna, was the team’s GM last year. Perrier is not looking at the cultural shock of coaching Junior B in smalltown B.C., but rather accepting a new challenge in his 20th season behind the bench. “From what I can see, Bryant Perrier this is a major rebuild,” said Perrier. “I will be living in Armstrong because I feel it’s important and it’s safe for the players.” Perrier previously served as head coach of the BCHL Merritt Centennials for two years and the Penticton Panthers for seven seasons, ending in 2004, when he joined the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. In France, he coached the Division 2 Asnieres Castors pro team and also ran the U22 and U18 programs. His wife, Jeanne, who works for the government, made a few yearly trips to France from the couple’s home in Penticton. “I’ve been doing this a long time and you learn from your mistakes and take a personal inventory,” said Perrier. “In France, I was coaching men who had played Olympics so it was a completely different level, but I still enjoy the developmental part of hockey and think I have a lot to offer.” Perrier’s strengths are in communication, video analysis and skill development by way of teaching fundamentals, technical and tactical components of the game. He also enjoys recruiting, scouting, media relations and community service. “I worked for great people in France. There was a president and vice-president and it was like family. The unemployment rate in France was 16 per cent and our team was likely going to fall to Division III. They let me know what was happening.” He noticed hockey people in France stayed calm during crisis, a trait he is bringing back to Canada. “I have learned over the last eight, nine years how to become a better communicator. You have to show, not talk. Actions first, talk second. As long as you cover the A, B, Cs, pay attention to detail, you should be successful.” An all-star d-man with the Penticton Knights, Revelstoke Rangers and Langley Eagles, Perrier earned a scholarship to the University of Alaska.

He amassed 100 points in four years with the Fairbanks-based Nanooks. He then played 56 games with the IHL Phoenix Roadrunners and eight with the ECHL Knoxville Cherokees in the 1989-90 season. Perrier ended his pro career in 1992 after ringing up seven goals and 25 points in 27 games with the Nijmegen Devils of the Netherlands Division 2 league. “Bryant has an extensive and impressive coaching and playing resume,” said new team owner Dean Keller, of Oliver. “Bryant will provide a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Knights organization. He has had a tremendous amount of success as a head coach at the Junior level.” While with Penticton, Perrier led the Panthers to 45-, 42- and 48-win seasons, all good for league regular-season titles. The Panthers lost the 1998 Fred Page Cup in five games to the South Surrey Eagles and were swept by the fourth-place Merritt Centennials in the 2001 Interior final. The Cents stunned Penticton in six games in the first round of the 2000 playoffs. He spent two years as bench boss with the nowdefunct Neepawa Natives of the Manitoba Junior League before getting fired 17 games into his third season, in 2011. “Bryant is dedicated, enthusiastic and passionate about the game,” said Keller, who owns a lift-truck service in the South Okanagan. “His main motivators are to help improve the athletes and make a positive impact for the players and organization both on and off the ice.” Keller has been involved in South Okanagan minor hockey for 10 years, four as president. He also served on the Okanagan Mainline board.

With the temperature in the 30s, it was the Vernon Canadians bats that were hot on the weekend. The Bercum Builders Canadians split four home games in the B.C. Midget AAA Baseball League.

Both teams are hot like the weather. The Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers visit the Armstrong Shamrocks in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action tonight. Game time is 7:30 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Vernon has won both regular season meetings thus far, and the arch-rivals are each coming off impressive weekend wins. The Tigers thumped the visiting Kelowna Raiders 12-5 Saturday, while the Shamrocks got by the Kamloops Venom 8-6 in a neutral site game Friday in Salmon Arm. Vernon is 10-0. With the Tigers playing the Raiders for a third straight time, and fourth time in five games, Saturday’s contest had a playoff feel. Tempers flared near the final whistle. “It gets really rowdy and rough against this team and it’s nice when the games are broken up,” said second star Quintin Harrish, Tigers forward, who had 4+1. “This was, essentially, a three-game series that just ended. We came out victorious but it was getting ugly by the end of it.” Kelowna opened a 2-0 lead before Harrish got Vernon on the board and Sean Connors tied up the game at 11:27 of the opening period. A fight between the Tigers’ Steele Pelletier and Kelowna’s Tristan Bright provided a spark for Vernon as Pelletier scored a knockout and Bright received a major and game misconduct for instigating the bout.

Tigers take care of Raiders Continued from A29
The Tigers scored the next four goals before Kelowna rallied with a deuce of its own as Vernon led 6-4 after one. Ve r n o n then scored the game’s next six goals before the Raiders scored a late powerplay Aaron Jensen marker. First star Ryan Sarazin had 3+5 for the Tigers, Pelletier added a pair while singles went to Jay Seaton and midget call-up Stephane Richard. Third star Aaron Jensen made 49 saves as the Tigers outshot Kelowna 55-54 to keep their perfect season in tact. The Raiders are 0-8-1. “We’re taking things game-bygame,” said Harrish. “We’re not looking too far into the future. We’re going to come out every game playing our hardest.” It was the Tigers’ third straight win with assistant coach Tyler Plante running the bench (head coach Chris Scabar was away with his son’s
team at a tournament in the Lower Mainland). The Shamrocks moved to within a point of the third-place Venom Friday, erasing a 3-1 first-period deficit in Salmon Arm with a five-goal explosion in the middle frame for a second-straight league win. “It was not a bad game,” said Armstrong assistant coach Chad Pieper. “They (Kamloops) had a short bench and started running out of gas. Our guys calmed down. Half of our roster is from Salmon Arm so there were lots of family and friends in the stands. “It was loud. Shuswap Minor Lacrosse did a great job getting the kids out. It was a good turnout.” Joel Castle had 2+2 for Armstrong (4-6), who played without leading scorer Owen Barker (serving a onegame suspension). Keith Minnis also chipped in a deuce. Singles went to Brayden Hoggarth, Kaden Sagh, Liam Drabiuk and Sam Hanley. Cole Macfarlane made 30 saves in goal. Jerome Thorne led Kamloops (4-4-1) with 3+2 while Riley Peterson had five helpers.

The injury-riddled Silver Stars lost two more players in a gutsy 2-1 loss to league-leading Penticton United in men’s 45+ soccer Monday night at City Park in Kelowna. Just three minutes in, the Stars were reduced to 11 men when Gary Baker pulled a hamstring before even touching the ball. At 15 minutes, Bill Graham suffered the same injury and the Stars were down to 10. Al Bensmiller, making his first start in goal of the year, made numerous acrobatic saves to keep the game close, before Penticton was able to blast a couple of hard shots past him. Nigel Clack, Ian Murphy, and Steve McCourt took control and moved the ball around the midfield. Newbie Nigel Watson went down early in the second, with a hamstring injury, leaving Vernon with nine. Randy Driediger, having again made the trip from Revelstoke, made some determined runs from his outside back position. He assisted on Paul McArdle’s first snipe of the season.

After two straight losses, the Turn-Key Ogopogos hit the win column by picking apart the lastplace Rutland Spirit 5-0 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Parkinson #9 Field. Ian Bos, the Messi look-a-like Man of the Match, jumpstarted the Pogo offence with a nice run down the flank, blasting a zinger past a startled Rutland keeper.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE TOUGH LEAD TO REMEMBER WELL Christina Rossetti, a 19thcentury English poet, said, “Better by far that you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.” In bridge, though, if you remember, you will often end up smiling; if you forget, you will surely be sad. In today’s deal, look only at the West hand. East opens one club, South overcalls four spades, and after two passes, East doubles to show a very strong hand that is presumably short in spades. After West decides to pass (do you agree?), what should he lead? East might open two clubs, but three-suiters need
bidding space, which would be at a premium after a two clubs-two diamonds-three clubs start to the sequence. South made a sensible four-spade overcall. This would typically have required an eight-card suit, but with two singletons, it was a good idea to consume as much bidding space as possible. Make life as difficult for responder as you can. Over East’s balancing double, West had a tough call. His balanced hand suggested defence, but his useful minor-suit honours hinted at offence. (In this layout, six clubs fails if South leads a spade.) I think most experts would have passed. When the opponents
sacrifice, especially at a high level, it is (almost always) right to lead a trump. In this carefully constructed deal, if everyone is playing doubledummy (knowing where all 52 cards lie), that is the only lead to defeat four spades. South can be held to seven spades and two club ruffs in the dummy.

Ann Vardon (nee Ehret)
With great sadness the family of Ann Vardon announces her passing on May 8th, 2015, in her 95th year. Ann is survived by her daughter, Sharon (Don) Parker of Kamloops, B.C.; sons, Kevin Vardon and Carl (Kim) Vardon of Vernon, B.C.; her grandchildren, Heidi (Dan) Roberts, Holly (Lane) Carter, Kim (Darren) Corkle and Clint Parker, all of Kamloops, B.C., Kelsey and Sara Vardon, Melissa, Hayden and Paige Vardon, all of Vernon, B.C.; her great-grandkids, Machyla and Cail Carter and Rhys Corkle of Kamloops, B.C.; her brother, Oswald Ehret of Ashcroft, B.C.; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Michael and Selma Ehret; her siblings, Hertha, Egon, Gertie, Vera, Elvira and Gerald; her husband, Colin Vardon; and her companion, Henry Phelps. Ann was born and raised at Sugar Lake, B.C. and had a lifelong love for the forest, flowers and birds. During WWII she moved to Vernon, married a soldier by the name of Colin Vardon and together raised a family of three children. Ann worked for many years at the Dolf Brown Packing House and in the mid 1960s and 1970s she was a loving Mom to many foster children. She loved her yard and garden, and she enjoyed square dancing, oil painting and writing poetry. She had a book of her poetry published as well as a book about her younger years at Sugar Lake. She was a very special lady and we all miss her. Cremation preceded a private Graveside Service which was held at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Ann to the B.C. Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 - 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 9M9. Funeral arrangements were made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187
Harvey Leslie Martin was born on April 26th, 1946 in Rose Valley, Saskatchewan and was called Home suddenly to be with his Lord and where he was re-united with his beloved wife Leslie, on May 31st, 2015 at the age of 69 years. Harvey will be lovingly remembered by his children, Owen (Brandy) Martin of Vernon, B.C., Dana (Jason) Martin of Armstrong, B.C. and Trevor (Erin) Martin of Salmon Arm, B.C.; five grandchildren, Mackenzie, Avery, Jessica, Ben and Bradley; one brother, Dennis Martin of Penticton, B.C.; two sisters, Joyce (Johnny) Edwards of Kelowna, B.C. and Eleanor Low of Sherwood Park, Alberta; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Leslie in 2008; his parents, Alec and Eva; and one sister, Ann. Harvey enjoyed a long and wonderful career as a store clerk at Canada Safeway for 32 years and then at Butcher Boys for 11 years. He was known for his helpful and caring assistance to customers in the store and for the work ethic he possessed. He was a great example and mentor to all those he worked with. In the 32 years he was at Safeway he was incredibly proud of the fact that he never missed one day of work. Harvey loved hunting in his younger years and then later fishing and quading. He had a home based business, one in which he raised chickens and then enjoyed supplying people with the eggs they produced. He was known as the “Chicken Man” and he enjoyed the added social contact with people in his retirement years that providing and delivering eggs gave him. Harvey’s favourite season of the year was Christmas and there is a room set apart in the family home that reflects the love he had for that time of the year. He was a lover of his Tim Horton’s double double and a constant visitor at the Drive-Thru!! Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Harvey’s Life which will be held at the Vernon Alliance Church on Friday, June 12th, 2015 at 11:00 A.M. with Pastor Jeremy Kinniburgh officiating. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Harvey to Santa’s Anonymous Society, #2-4320-29th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 5B8. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605 - 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 • 250-542-1187
