Report launches harsh criticisms
KICKING BACK
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/ MORNING STAR
One-yearold Katie Mahortoff kicks back with a good read while attending the 20th Annual Friends Of The Library Sale at the Vernon Curling Club.
A study into boat launches is making waves. The Okanagan Landing Community Association is blasting a consultant’s report that looked into the future of boat launches for the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee. “The recommendations in the consultant’s report are completely contrary to the consensus of the (public) planning session,” said Victor Cumming, association president, in a letter to GVAC. In particular, the association is upset with recommendations that call for the Paddlewheel Park boat launch to remain the primary facility for the region, and for the launch to be expanded to create greater capacity. “The boat launch already has a detrimental impact on people using the beach and swimming area,” said Cumming. “Increasing the size of the launch and creating greater capacity for boat launching will only add to this situation and the concerns of the people using the park.” The association owns the land where the launch sits. “This fact does not appear to be considered in her (consultant’s) recommendations,” said Cumming, adding that his group is opposed to moving the tennis courts to increase boat
launch parking. “There are many other solutions, some of which were shared with the consultant and have not appeared in the report.” GVAC officials insist communications over Paddlewheel Park will continue. “We will meet with the association if they want to do that again and they can participate in the second stakeholder meeting,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. Beyond the Landing association, some politicians are also concerned about the report. “There’s no cost presented anywhere,” said director Mike Macnabb. “A valet service was not further defined in the report. There’s no substance to it other than a concept.” A recommendation for a boat launch manager, though, is garnering interest from director Jim Garlick. “They would direct traffic and tell people what the process is to launch your boat,” he said. Garlick also believes there may be a need to identify areas on local lakes specifically for motorized boats and non-motorized vessels. “Do paddle boats and kayakers fit where you have water skiers?” he said. The consultant’s report will go to Coldstream and Vernon councils for review.
Services still available despite centre’s closure RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Marginalized women still have doors to walk through for help, even though one is shut tight. Several agencies are reminding the public that they continue to provide services despite the Vernon Women’s Centre closing because of budget issues. “Program-wise, there isn’t a gap,” said Kelly Fehr, Gateway Shelter manager. Besides Gateway, services are also available
at Vernon Women’s Transition House, the Primary Health Clinic, Independent Living, the First Nations Friendship Centre, United Way and the Cammy Lafleur Street Clinic. There was concern from some residents that Transition House and the homeless shelter were closing when it was announced the Vernon Women’s Centre was ceasing operations. “It’s a common misconception,” said Debby Hamilton, Vernon Transition House executive director. “People think women’s centre and
women’s transition house — what’s the difference?” The Vernon Women’s Centre had been in operation for 30 years. “It’s a terrible blow to the community not to have a women’s centre. They will be missed,” said Hamilton. The existing agencies have stepped up efforts to meet the needs of women who are poor, marginalized or sex workers. The primary focus will be on food, clothing, referrals and crisis support.
“Gateway is operating and it’s taken on additional services such as laundry and showers,” said Fehr. The agencies are also working together to create a women-only space to address some of the needs the Women’s Centre met. “We’ve heard from women that this is the one that’s not in place in the community,” said Hamilton. For more information about community programs, call Transition House at 250-5421122 or the Gateway Shelter at 250-260-2786.

Coldstream park name change up for debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The fate of a Coldstream park’s name rests in the hands of residents. The District of Coldstream will conduct an input process on whether Coldstream Centennial Park on Kidston Road should be renamed Sovereign Park. “We will offer an opportunity for the public to support the name change or speak to keeping the (current) name,� said Mayor Jim Garlick. “If we see support for the name change, we will go for it.� The property was owned by Art and Agnes Sovereign and it was sold to the North
Okanagan Regional District after the couple died. NORD policy is not to name a park after an individual unless the person donated 50 per cent or more of the funds to purchase the land or donated 50 per cent of more of the land. As a result, a public contest was held in 2007 and of the submissions, Coldstream Centennial Park was selected. However, Garlick says the actions of the Sovereign family ensured there is a park and they should be recognized. “The family gave a lot to the area by selling the property at the price they did,� he said. “When you compare what we got for $1.7
million, it was significant. The family wanted it to go to park.� Garlick also believes a name change will reflect reality in the community. “A lot of people call it Sovereign Park,� he said. “They are a family that did things in the community.� Mike Macnabb, a NORD director, also questions the policy and says a donation shouldn’t be the only factor considered when a recreation facility is named. “If that’s the case, it shouldn’t be Wesbild Centre. It should be the taxpayers of Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C centre,� said Macnabb.

Ranking of schools undergoes scrutiny RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Educators warn that a ranking of high schools doesn’t offer a full picture of what goes on in class. The Fraser Institute has issued its annual report card of B.C.’s private and public secondary schools. “It’s one ranking system based on provincial marks,” said Larry Simpson, Vernon Christian School principal. “It doesn’t reflect everything a whole school does. We are interested in teaching the whole student. We send children on mission trips and we’re involved in the community. You can’t measure that.” The Fraser Institute looks at provincial exam and graduation rates when establishing rankings. Of the 274 secondary schools included in the 2011 report, Vernon Christian is ranked 30, followed by Kalamalka at 37, George Elliot at 85, Clarence Fulton at 129, Pleasant Valley at 164, Vernon at 164, Charles Bloom at 194, W.L. Seaton at 203 and A.L. Fortune at 209. “There are a lot of things not calculated,” said Abbas El Gazzar, A.L. Fortune Secondary principal. “You can’t rank how we catch at-risk kids. It doesn’t rank dealing with kids who have difficult home situations.” A.L. Fortune programs are reviewed monthly to ensure they are meeting the needs of students. “We look at how we can help kids who typically fall through the cracks,” said El Gazzar. “The (Fraser Institute) report doesn’t tell you if we saved five
“You can’t rank how we catch at-risk kids.” — Abbas El Gazzar kids who may have gone on to the street.” Bev Rundell, Vernon School District superintendent, says provincial exams must be considered in-depth and not simply used for ranking. “Our teachers review provincial exam results and individual student results,” she said. “They look and see if they can change their ways of instruction.” Beyond academic tests, Rundell says
schools provide a number of worthwhile programs for students \ including sports and culture. “Most of our schools have strong components of social awareness. How do you rank that?” Rundell doesn’t see much value to the Fraser Institute report card. “Schools are working hard with students and then the Fraser Institute comes out and says the school is not doing well.
It’s discouraging,” she said. The Fraser Institute defends ranking schools. “By displaying individual school results for the past five years, the report card offers a motion picture indicating whether a school has improved or declined over time,” said Peter Cowley, director of school performance studies, in a press release. “The idea is that every school is capable of improvement, and that everybody should have easy access to clear, up-to-date information about the performance of the secondary schools in their province and local community.” Cowley says one purpose of the report card
is to put the spotlight on schools that have improved, and encourage them to share their recipe for success. “When two differ-
ent schools have student populations with similar personal and family characteristics, but there’s a big gap in exam results, parents

the money goes to a good cause.” Having a good time working the donation table was McDonald’s employee Samantha Newton, who resembled Pippi Longstocking with her double-braided hair, to which she tied 20 balloons. “This is my first McHappy Day and it’s been interesting, a lot of fun,” smiled Newton. “There’s been lots of people, lots of balloons and lots of donations.”

All Sun-FM Sunrise Show co-host Brian Martin had to do working the 58th Avenue McDonald’s drive-thru was put on soft drink lids. Such is the new technology which makes things easier for local celebrities like Martin and his colleague Betty Selin to handle when they gladly volunteer their time to work McHappy Day, as the popular pair did Wednesday. “You take the cup down, it scoots across, puts the ice in, puts the right pop in at the right size and Brian just puts on the lid. He hasn’t screwed up,” laughed Selin, who was busy working the front counter during her volunteer shift for McHappy Day, a one-day fundraiser for McDonald’s’ Ronald McDonald House. McHappy Day takes $1 from the sale of Big Macs, Happy Meals and coffee and puts it toward building a new Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver. The three Vernon McDonald’s restaurants and the one in Armstrong raised $10,100 on McHappy Day. Ronald McDonald House, or “The House that Love Built,” is a safe, secure home-awayfrom-home where outof-town families with seriously ill children can stay while their children receive medical treatment in Vancouver at BC Children’s Hospital. “The current Ronald McDonald House has a capacity for 400 families. The new house will have a capacity for 2,000 families,” said Chris Erickson, owner of the Vernon McDonald’s North franchise, who was involved in his third McHappy Day, and pleased by the generosity of North Okanagan residents. “It’s absolutely terrific,” he said. “The support for McHappy Day is just ongoing.

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Summer with the legends
I
have given my friend fair warning when we attend the Supertramp concert June 3 in Kelowna: The second I hear the opening harmonica riff from the group’s legendary song, School, I will have reached nirvana, such is my adoration for the song off Supertramp’s classic album Crime of the Century. If I was ever stranded on a desert island and could have three albums with me, as once asked by Facebook (because, naturally, I’d have an endless supply of batteries for my MP3 player in my pockRoger Knox ets I guess), Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America would probably be two of three. Released in 1979, Breakfast in America is arguably Supertramp’s finest work, containing such hits as The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger and Take the Long Way Home. The Vernon Panthers volleyball team, of which I was a member, sang this entire album while it played – on eight-track! – on the way to a tournament in Trail. Yes, Roger Hodgson, the lead singer on School, The Logical Song and Take the Long Way Home, among others, is no longer with the group, having been replaced by a sound-alike. While it’s not the same, I can live with it. I didn’t stop watching MASH when McLean Stevenson left and was replaced by Harry Morgan, nor did I stop checking in on Cheers when Shelley Long moved on and Kirstie Alley stepped in. The third album that I’d have with me on that island 31I’d have for sentimental reasons, Cosmo’s Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival. To the best of my recollection, this is the album that not only introduced me to one of the greatest bands ever, but instilled in me a love of rock and roll, for which I am forever grateful to my older siblings. I think it was mainly the album cover that first attracted me to CCR. Cosmo’s Factory has a

picture of the band in what looks like a studio or garage. Three of them are sitting near the instruments while drummer Doug Clifford – aka Cosmo, the fourth member – was sitting on a very cool looking 10-speed bike wearing red and orange overalls. Without question, it was lead singer John Fogerty’s voice, his fabulous guitar playing and his magic with words that made me love CCR. Research suggests Fogerty’s relationship with the band’s record company deteriorated to the point that to get out of the deal, Fogerty had to give up publishing rights to the songs he had written. When the band broke up, Fogerty vowed never to play CCR songs again. He would still have a successful solo career, giving us such great tunes like Centrefield and The Old Man Down The Road. But it was during a jam with Bob Dylan in 1987, when Dylan allegedly told Fogerty, ‘If you don’t do ‘Proud Mary,’ people are going to think it’s a Tina Turner song’ that Fogerty began playing CCR songs again. Just imagine my excitement, then, when my Supertramp friend told me that Fogerty was coming to the North Okanagan (July 14, MotoPlex Speedway). Nirvana, part two. I plan to be in attendance at the MotoPlex to see, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest musicians of all-time. I will be singing along to Centrefield, Old Man, Suzie Q, Fortunate Son, Bad Moon Rising and his legion of other solo and Creedence hits (by the way, it’s beyond my comprehension how Fogerty and CCR had four songs reach #2 on the Billboard charts, but never No. 1). And, of course, I will be extra vocal when he does Who’ll Stop the Rain and Lookin’ Out My Back Door (both from Cosmo’s Factory). Fogerty appears two weeks before my 30th high school reunion, where more stories will be recounted and music like Supertramp, AC/DC, Journey and Styx will be played. The Summer of ‘11 is shaping up to be the Summer of Memories. I can’t wait to stroll down Memory Lane, singing the songs of my youth.
It’s that time of the year when the conservative Fraser Institute releases its report card on secondary schools. Right off the start, there’s nothing wrong with focusing on provincial exam and graduation rates. Comparing how a school did year-over-year will hopefully lead educators to determine if there are changes required to improve student success. But the flaw with the Fraser Institute is it portrays provincial exams as the only factor that is relevant in the classroom. It doesn’t consider the broad spectrum of school life — sports, arts, trades or the courses without provincial exams. No where does it mention the extra-curricular activities and particularly those that make students socially aware of the world around them. The Fraser Institute doesn’t make any reference to the hard work many teachers put in to ensure that some students stay in school instead of dropping out. Clothes and food may be provided to those from lowerincome families, while many teachers are also willing to be a sounding board for those navigating the turmoil of the teenage years. Most of the schools ranked at the top are private and because tuition is required, they don’t generally include students from disadvantaged homes like their public counterparts. Ultimately, academic results are important but so are all of the other components of school. With luck, they come together to help form a well-rounded individual who is prepared to leave school and become a contributing member of society. The ranking of schools only fosters elitism and that is a lesson students and parents should be quick to avoid.

Society says wheels are in motion
T
he Ribbons of Green Trails Society (ROGTS) has been active in the Greater Vernon area since the early '90s and has been a motivator behind the Jack Schratter xollege route, the Polson Pathway, the Grey Canal connecting trails and the 25th Avenue bike paths, among others. The Ribbons of Green plan for the development of cycling trails within the city has been part of the official community plan for years, and helps guide downtown development. None of this happens, of course, without the budget allotments of council, and the development work of the regional and city engineering staffs. Our group is comprised of a board of 11 people who meet monthly on current projects, discuss plans with city staff, write proposals, fundraise, and lobby politicians where required. Our monthly meetings include a council representative, along with city and regional staff. On April 15, The Morning Star published an article regarding our association that I think needs clarification. ROGTS recently withdrew from the transportation demand management (TDM) steering committee, to the disappointment of one of the councillors, who stated that we were the one group most critical to that committee. What is the TDM group? This department was set up in city hall in response to the rejection of the western bypass highway proposal several years ago, which most will recall as being very controversial. With no relief in sight for congestion of traffic through the downtown core, the TDM group was tasked with recPOOL ACCESS I am writing in response to the article I read in The Morning Star about Vernon public pool access. I agree with the article about concerns over pool access, and share serious concerns about access times the public has to our pool. I was in swim clubs growing up and we always had practices early in the morning, before school. This is pretty standard. It is the public that pays for the wages and upkeep of the pool. Shouldn’t the public have access to the pool at the prime usage time? Vernon population demographic has changed I’m sure, and more and more young families are moving here. It is for the betterment of Vernon and its sustainability, yet the city really does not do much for this population. Not only is there a severe lack of playgrounds, families can’t even take their kids swimming. The toonie swim is ridiculous, because the line-up is on to the street, and the pool is so crowded

ommending solutions to this dilemma: ■ Bus routes could be improved, with a focus on commuter schedules ■ One-way streets could be introduced ■ Commuters could be encouraged to walk or cycle to work, or car-share, through programs such as Commuter Challenge, and Bike to Work Week ■ Better sidewalks or safety sessions in schools could encourage children to walk or cycle to work ROGTS fully supports the TDM process, and we work closely with their staff, in particular on the annual path development plans in the city core. There is a second unsung volunteer group in Vernon that works with urban cycling. This is the Greater Vernon Cycling Advisory Committee (GVCAC). This group is focused on increasing cycling participation among adults
at that time it’s impossible to enjoy it. My family and I have basically stopped using the pool, but it’s a great shame. It’s clear Vernon needs another public pool facility, but until that happens, the public swim times need to be addressed so the public can actually use it. Lucie Laidley HOSPITAL SITUATION Recently The Morning Star has printed full pages of a report by Dr. Ed Hardy, the president of Vernon Jubilee Hospital medical staff, about the overcrowding and other concerns regarding access to health care in Vernon. His comments are truly alarming and impact everyone who may utilize the hospital. The main points he makes are: 1. First of all, the new tower has no effect on the present problem of overcrowding which regularly amounts to 21 to 28 patients every day. 2. In fact, due to the design of the

The GVCAC group is a key representative on the TDM committee meetings, and in fact one of their members, Kim Young, currently chairs this group. Ribbons and GVCAC are closely linked, with an ROGTS member attending and contributing to their monthly meetings. ROGTS is currently concentrating on several regional parks projects: ■ After developing the proposal for Middleton Mountain, we are now concentrating on completing the trail system. ■ We are in the early stages of working with the Foothills Neighbourhood Association on a park with trails. ■ We are working with GVPRD on completing sections of the Grey Canal and BX Creek trail system This leaves our group very busy, and we feel comfortable passing the cycling aspects of the TDM committee over to GVCAC, who we feel has a stronger focus on their specific objectives. Our support for the TDM process is not diminished, and ROGTS will continue to provide input and contribute to the TDM objectives wherever we can help.

The open house was attended by 32 people and comments were received from 29 people. According to district staff, 15 of the respondents supported the proposed design, seven supported the proposed design but would pre-

Firefighting history preserved RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A crucial part of Vernon’s firefighting history won’t be turned into scrap metal. C i t y council will turn Keith Green over ownership of a 1946 Bickle ladder truck to the Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association. “They do have a place to store it and they are prepared to keep up maintenance,” said Keith Green, fire chief. City staff had recommended earlier this year that the truck be sold for salvage, but council instructed staff to consider options for preserving the vehicle.

The Vernon Volunteer Firefighters Association will take over ownership of a 1946 Bickle ladder truck. Green believes transferring ownership to the association makes sense. “Many volunteer hours were dedicated to its restora-
tion,” he said, adding that the truck will remain a community asset. “There will be an opportunity to see it in parades and
at other events.” It had been suggested the city could receive $10,000 after commission if the truck had been sold for scrap.
Impaired charges pending in accident Morning Star Staff
An accident in Lake Country Wednesday where a truck ended up in a creek may result in impaired driving charges against the driver. Police were called just before 11 p.m. Wednesday to the intersection of Edwards Road and Adams Road where paramedics were on-scene attending to the driver of a Dodge pickup, a 43-year-old Lake Country man. He received injuries when his westbound Dodge struck a light pole at the intersection. The vehicle went down an embankment and landed in Mill Creek. The RCMP investigation revealed that the driver showed signs of alcohol impairment and, though he was transported to Kelowna General Hospital for further treatment, he consented to provide blood samples for alcohol analysis at the hospital. The driver may be facing recommended charges of impaired
driving and driving with a blood-alcohol level of
more than .08. The light pole was
bent at the base. The vehicle sustained signif-
icant damage and was towed from the scene.

KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
Fred Bongers has trouble walking, talking and controlling his emotions. It’s all part of living with Huntington’s, a debilitating, genetic brain disorder. At 58, the former industrial worker lives in a full-care facility but is making the most of his life in a community where he played minor lacrosse. He’s the No. 1 Armstrong Shamrocks fan, and the Irish will again honour Bongers and fellow sufferers when they entertain the Kelowna Raiders in Okanagan X-treme Lacrosse League play tonight (7:30) at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Proceeds from the game go to the Okanagan Chapter of Huntington’s Society of Canada. “He’s definitely got a positive attitude which makes it easier to deal with,” said Lori Pounder, the Shamrocks’ treasurer, of her father. “He started showing symptoms when he was 46 and he was diagnosed when he was 47. My dad has been a Shamrocks fan forever.” Bongers can be seen, wearing a Shamrock jersey, cheering loudly at most games. Because of the disease, he sometimes gets rather irritable if the Rocks are losing. Fred has a handful of relatives who also fight Huntington’s, and are Shamrock supporters. “As some people know, some of the family members of the Armstrong Shamrocks are stricken by this horrible disease and it is a cause that is near and dear to all of us,” said Shamrock goalie and GM Chad Pieper. Money raised from tonight’s 50-50 draw will be matched by Askew’s Foods, where Pounder is the office manager. “Askew’s has been awesome.” said Pounder, whose husband, Chad, is Shamrock captain. “They have donated all the food and supplies for a fundraiser barbecue Saturday (2-4 p.m.).” Added Pieper: “Nor-Val Rentals have donated the barbecue so that means 100 per cent of the money will go to the charity. Thank you to these two great local companies that continue to support the community time after time.” These two events will also be used to promote the fourth annual Race to Finish Huntington’s on Saturday, May 28 at Kin Beach. The run raised more than $14,000 last year.

Taxpayers face increase in Lake Country
LIL’ COWPOKE
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lake Country residents can’t avoid digging deeper for taxes. Council adopted the 2011 budget Tuesday and the document includes a 3.9 per cent increase on the municipal portion of the tax bill. “We are doing what we can to ensure there’s not a great burden placed on them (residents) but we’re the second lowest among comparable sized communities in the Okanagan,” said Mayor James Baker. An average home assessed at $504,000 will pay an additional $54 in municipal taxes. While Baker says council acknowledges
“Costs don’t go down.” — Baker the financial challenges facing residents, there is a need to provide services the public requires or demands. “We are trying to continue with services and with our reserves,” he said. “Two per cent of the increase is inflationary and we’ve been prudent. Costs don’t go down, especially when you look at fuel.” Coun. Noreen Guenther believes the dis-
trict had no choice but to pursue the financial plan that it did. “We need to make sure we keep up with inflation,” she said. “I also don’t want to leave expenditures so they grow to the point that it places a large burden on taxpayers in the future. I believe in doing a little bit at a time with infrastructure projects.” As part of the 2011 budget, water rates will increase four per cent, or $19 per year, for non-metered users; four per cent, or $16 per year, for the metered base rate; and 2.7 per cent, or $2 per acre per year, for the irrigation rate for agricultural properties. There will be no increases to sewer, garbage and recycling rates.

News Heritage pitch for school Morning Star Staff
A landmark Armstrong building is being recognized. North OkanaganShuswap School District trustees have supported a request to have Armstrong Elementary School designated as a heritage site. Secretary-treasurer Sterling Olson will work with the administrator from the City of Armstrong to put together a bylaw for the heritage designation. T h e Olson bylaw will come back to the trustees for approval. The brick school on Pleasant Valley Road was built in 1912. If the school was designated a heritage building, it could qualify for a local heritage property grant program (up to $2,000 annually in matching grants from the city), as well provincial and federal grants. School Calendar Considered A draft of the 201213 school calendar has been put before North OkanaganShuswap S c h o o l District trustees for consideration. Pearson The calendar set out dates for professional development days and holidays. A final decision will be made on this calendar at the board’s June 14 meeting. Superintendent Doug Pearson said that by doing the calendars two years in advance it helps parents and schools with the planning process, especially for international field trips. The calendar for this coming year was approved last year.

Nationwide barbecue raises $1.5 million for colitis Morning Star Staff
The support of Vernon has helped M&M Meat Shops raise $1,550,000 for a disease affecting thousands. The Vernon store joined 465 of the M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada for the 23rd annual Charity BBQ Day Saturday, which raised $1.5 million for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). “Once again, Canadians demonstrated incredible support for Charity BBQ Day, raising more than $1.5 million in a single day for CCFC,” said Mac Voisin, founder and chairman of M&M Meat Shops. “Our sincere thank you to everyone who helped to make the 23rd annual Charity BBQ Day a huge success.”

Rylan Goble, six, works his way through a hamburger while attending the M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ for Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis Saturday in front of M&M Meats at Vernon Square Mall. This year, M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day was supported by Amanda Holmes, daughter of Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor, Mike Holmes, and sufferer of Crohn’s disease. “My dad is an expert
at home renovation and construction,” said Amanda. “But when I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease even he didn’t have the tools to fix me. At this point, nobody does and that’s why both of us are proud
to support the CCFC and M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day.” Her dad Mike adds: “There are few things harder than seeing your child in pain. We appreciate every dollar donated to the CCFC.” To date, M&M Meat Shops’ franchisees, customers and volunteers have raised more than $21.5 million to help find a cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, also known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD affects more than 200,000 Canadian men, women and children. “On behalf of the CCFC and the thousands of persons living with IBD across Canada, we are grateful to M&M Meat Shops for their continued support and commit-
ment to our search for a cure,” said CCFC Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kevin W. Glasgow, MD. “Contributions from the M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day have funded many impor-
tant developments in Canadian research, including: establishing the CCFC IBD Research Institute; launching the landmark GEMproject looking at the Genetic, Environmental and
Microbial factors contributing to the onset of Crohn’s disease; and helping our Canadian researchers to become world-recognized leaders in the search for the cure.”

Marzocco lifts Legends Morning Star Staff
An overtime goal from Brady Marzocco lifted the North Okanagan Nor-Val/Hi-Pro Sportswear Pee Wee Legends to a 4-3 win over the Ridge Meadows Burrards in the final of an A2 division lacrosse tournament in Penticton. Marzocco scored 1:20 into the overtime with a shot that bounced off of the Burrards’ goaltender who lost site of the ball after the shot. The ball hit the floor and had the right spin on it putting it into the net, avenging a 5-3 loss to the Burrards in the final preliminary round game. “The kids and coaching staff all felt confident they could win this game and went out and played a solid game that was very exciting to watch,� said Legends’ coach Harold Mann. “Both teams put on a great show that everyone enjoyed watching.� The Legends opened the scoring with a 2-0 lead on goals from Conor Webb and Chase Bronson, from a beautiful feed from Brett Olsen, on the pick and roll play. The Burrards equalized with pressure deep in the Legends’ crease and then went on to take the lead 3-2 late in the first period. The Legends evened it up in the second period when Olsen clicked with less than one minute left to play. The third period was scoreless. Other assists came from Jaxson Cummings and Nicholas Mann. Legends’ goalie Jakob Schweb played his best game of the year with key saves. The Legends opened by beating the Penticton Heat A2 squad 10-3. Goals came from Jayden Hunter (3+2), Marzocco (2+1), Jake Pelletier (2), and singles from Niklas Luttmerding (1+1), Olsen and Webb.

The Pee Wee A2 Legends stopped the Shuswap 7-5 in Tuesday night play in Enderby. Martin scored twice, while singles went to Hunter, Stephane Richard, Pelletier, Dawson Boyce and Marzocco. “The kids came up against a very strong goaltender from Shuswap (made Team B.C. Interior team) as the Legends outshot Shuswap, by a wide margin,� said Mann. “They hit the post at least 15 times which could have really tilted the score. Jakob Schweb in net played solid, keeping his team in it for the first part of the game, and helped spark his teammates as the game went on.� ■North Okanagan Baron Insurance Legends bowed 6-5 to the Kamloops Rattlers in a thrilling novice game.

Sports Interior 97s get silver in Alberta
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Ravi Vliet of Vernon competes at the 19th annual Whistler Cup, an international children’s competition. She earned ninth in the Giant Slalom.
Spring skiers solid JOHN ARMSTRONG For The Morning Star
As spring madness in the ski racing world fell onto the Vernon Ski Club, many of their athletes spread out in different directions in North America claiming medals and personal best performances. For the K1 team in the 11-12-yearold category, it all heated up at Mt. Washington for the provincial championships. Amelia Smart finished with four gold medals and one silver. Always pushing the limits was Ravi Vliet taking home two top-10 finishes and a bronze medal in Slalom. Also skiing fast at the event was Katie MacGillivray and Katrina Van Soest achieving their personal bests. All four girls made selection to the International Children’s competition called Whistler Cup, in its 19th year. Smart claimed a silver medal in the Kombi, a fifth in GS and sixth in Slalom, while Vliet recorded a ninthplace finish in the Giant Slalom. The whole K1 team competed at the zone finals at Big White with several great top-10 performances in the slalom. Smart earned a silver, Katie MacGillivray had a seventh, Holly Clancy was ninth and Christopher Richardson 10th. Vliet bagged a silver while teammate Katrina Van Soest had a fourth in the head to head dual slalom. In the boys, rookies Jaden Parsons and Kazuki Comley took fourth and fifth respectively. The next age category, 13–14-yearold racers known as K2, hit the road as well with provincials at Panorama Resort. Rookie Matt Kreutz had a performance that earned him a spot on the B.C. team at the K2 Nationals to be later held at Collingwood, Ont. He raced to a fifth and 13th in Giant Slalom and a fifth and 12th result in Slalom. Just off the top-10 was Alex Roehrig with an 11th-place Giant Slalom result, and Jules Youngberg with a 14th-place Slalom showing. The K2 team went on to Jasper for the Westerns and Noemie Petit
pocketed a silver and had an eighth. Scout McWilliams posted a personal best placing 15th in the Slalom, while Roehrig took a sixth and eighth in Giant Slalom and Jules Youngberg missed the top-10 in Slalom by 2/10th of a second. At the zone finals, it was a showdown for the K2’s. In the slalom, McWilliams posted a fifth and Mayumi Comely stunned the crowd with her attacking performance and finished eighth. On the boys side, it was a third, fourth and fifth between Kreutz, Roehrig and Youngberg respectively. In the dual slalom, the order flipped with Roehrig edging Youngberg and Kreutz. In the K2 girls, Siobhan Clancy turned everything upside down and took her first gold. McWilliams took silver and Hannah Paracholski was seventh. Meanwhile, the Vernon Ski Cub was presented a prestigious award for “Event of the Year” from B.C .Alpine Ski Association last Friday at the annual AGM and Awards Banquet. The fastest 11- and 12-year-old ski racers in Western Canada converged on Silver Star from Feb 18-20. A total of 170 athletes from B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan competed in three events: Giant Slalom on Friday, Slalom on Saturday and Kombi on Sunday. The Giant Slalom was held on Milky Way making it easy to watch this amazing competition from the village, Comet Express and Summit chairlifts. The Kombi course combined both GS and Slalom elements, but for the first time Skier Cross features were added to the challenge. “Our Kombi course has set the standard for this event in Canada, which significantly led to the event of the year award” said Vernon Ski Club Program Director John Armstrong. “Numerous days went into planning and building this course and the Vernon Ski Club was charged up to put this event on.” Spectators watched racers take the speed jump above the finish line at the Main Street crossing at Big Dipper.
The B.C. Interior 97s bowed 3-2 to Team North America in Sunday’s final of the Elite Onehockey International AAA Challenge in Spruce Grove, Alta. Blaine Caton of Vernon gave the 97s the lead 33 seconds into the gold-medal game. Deven Sideroff of the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton also scored, and led the 97s with five goals and 15 points on the weekend. Goalie Brendan Barry (Pursuit of Excellence, Kelowna) turned in a stellar showing. Barry was 2-1 and Josh Shank of Kamloops went 2-0-1 and made the all-star team. Vernon’s Jeff Bochon, who racked up five goals and eight points, joined William Lawerance of POE (4-4-8) on the all-star squad. Coached by Murray Caton and Todd Richards of Vernon, the 97s won three and tied once in the roundrobin, and then clipped Team Northern B.C. 3-2 in the semifinals on two goals by Steven Fuist of OHA and one from Jeran Knorr of Kelowna. The Interior crew slammed Spruce Grove 8-1 in their opener with Bochon and Caton each earning 1+1. They followed up with a 5-0 win over Northern B.C., a 2-2 tie with North America and an 11-1 thump-

Sports Jones overtakes Kozak
MADDIE VS ABBY
Morning Star Staff
Brad Jones came from behind on the 18th hole to overtake Conner Kozak in a battle of Vernon teens Saturday at the Salmon Arm stop on the Zone 2 Junior Golf Tour. Jones, of Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club, finished at even-70 to beat Kozak and Charlie Lewthwaite of Kelowna Golf & CC by one stroke. Kozak, a Seaton student who is headed to UBC on a golf scholarship next fall, put himself in trouble off the tee, and was forced to punch out of the trees and score a bogey. Kozak won his third Tour event of the season Sunday at Shuswap Lake Estates with a 2-over-73. Jordan Oelrich and Jesse Pedersen, both of Kelowna, tied for second with 75s. Lewthwaite leads the Junior Tour Order of Merit just ahead of Kozak. Kozak and Jones, a Vernon Christian School student, are in the Pacific Championships of the Future Links Tour, a four-round national event running through Sunday at the Arbutus Ridge Golf & CC near Victoria.

Poulsen pushes Timber Morning Star Staff
Brent Poulsen pulled the hat trick as the North Enderby Timber ran their North Okanagan Soccer League winning streak to four games by grounding the Salmon Arm Eagle Homes Nation of Domination 3-1 Wednesday night. NET keeper Danny Stein celebrated his 25th birthday by stoning former Timber Dave Knight with a diving, fingertip save off the post on a high, right corner penalty kick in the 25th minute at Marshall Field #3. Poulsen opened the Timber offence 10 minutes later when he sped down the left wing, took a feed from Eric Vivian, stopped, turned and buried. Eagle Homes (1-2) equalized in the first minute of the second half on a fast counter. NET went ahead when Kyle Halvorson cruised down the left side, beat two defenders and put a pass through another to Poulsen for a header, for the goal of the night. Poulsen placed a low shot to complete the
scoring after 17-year-old rookie Alex Farina fed Harminder Sidhu, who in turn found Poulsen. In other action, Monashee Surveying brushed back the host Salmon Arm Outlaws 2-0. Matt McKeown delivered a nifty 18-yard, leftfooted shot for Monashee’s opening goal, while Darren Nobrega sailed one through the Outlaw keeper’s legs to put the Surveyors up before the 15-minute mark. Ryan Sharp was sold at centre back for the Surveyors (1-1-1). Concept Physio toppled Turn-Key Controls 2-1 in a battle of Vernon teams at Marshall #5. Turn-Key opened the scoring off a determined run by Chris Jahing, who picked the pocket of a Concept defender and buried a low shot in the corner. Concept countered off a 25-yard shot by Enzo Paal, which deflected off a defender and eluded keeper Greg Douma. Before the half ended Concept took the lead off of a 35-yard all-planet Paal strike. Rob McGloin had a great game on the wing for Turn-Key.

Speaker focuses on social media JENNIFER SMITH
“The law has not kept pace with technology.” — Christopher Schneider “The law has not kept pace with technology,” he said. “And it’s causing problems.” Schneider says parents, the school system and even the police need to remember that social media is a tool and shouldn’t necessarily lead to a crack-down approach. “You can use a hammer to build a house or you can use a hammer to bludgeon someone to death,” he said. “It’s what you want to do with it.” In some states, there is already talk of lessening penalties for certain crimes to deal with the emergence of social media, as lawmakers start to question whether some of the behaviours being picked up are really worth ruining lives over, said Schneider. The Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society is hosting the provincial Crime Stoppers training conference until Saturday. Delegates from
Western Canada will attend, with RCMP from B.C. and Alberta and municipal forces from Victoria, Abbotsford, and Vancouver in the mix.
Please note that the $150 savings claim advertised for the HP 2000-140ca laptop (WebID: 10167595) found on the front cover of the May 6 flyer is incorrect. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.
ence is also an opportunity to train board members from the region on the issues facing their communities — drugs, fraud, gangs and so forth. Some 108 delegates will attend the event, according to Gerry Guiltenane, Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers co-ordinator. “We just want to make people aware of the dangers that are out there,” he said.
Black Press
Sexting — or sending sexually explicit messages and photographs over the Internet — is not a crime and the volunteers gathered in Kelowna this week for the annual Crime Stoppers conference need to remember this, according to a local social media expert. UBCO professor Christopher Schneider will deliver a keynote address aimed at taking the panic out of social media, youth and safety discussions this Saturday, pointing out teenage flirting was never caught on tape when most of the population was growing up. “The first knee-jerk reaction is always: ‘This has to be stopped,’” he said. He noted that whether it’s sexual interaction or cyber bullying, there is now an urge to criminalize youthful indiscretions that might have gone unnoticed, or punished differently, in the past. Looking south of the border where a handful of cases have seen youth placed in jail and even registered as sex offenders for possessing naked photos of other underaged peers — deemed as child pornography — should be looked at as red flags in his view.

Prison’s home to be settled prior to referendum BRUCE WALKINSHAW Black Press
It is likely the provincial government will choose a location for its new correctional centre sometime before the Penticton holds its June 18 referendum, according to the Solicitor General Shirley Bond. “My team is currently already evaluating the proposals,” Bond said. “It started late last week and that evaluation will continue and I am hopeful to have a recommendation provided to me before the middle of June.” Council submitted two
“My team is currently already evaluating the proposals.” — Shirley Bond sites to the provincial government in March — one on Campbell Mountain and the other near the Cantex gravel pit — in a bid to bring a proposed Okanagan correctional facility to Penticton’s city limits.
However, faced with growing opposition to the prison, council voted unanimously last week to call a binding referendum on the matter. Bond said as the evaluation team analyzes the competing sites in the val-
ley they will take a number of things into consideration before making their recommendation to her, including the site location and size; its proximity to courthouses, RCMP lockups and other institutions; the availability of utilities; zoning; environmental conditions; and community support — a “critical piece,” she said. However, because the deadline for providing information to her office regarding the proposals was April 30, Bond said Penticton’s vote will not be considered in the process.
“They can’t consider the outcome of a referendum that hasn’t taken place yet.” When asked what would happened if she approved one of the Penticton sites only to have it voted down in the referendum, Bond said she would not speculate on that outcome. “At the end of the day, it is the responsibility of the mayor and council of Penticton to choose whether or not they want to be in this process. “They have told us they want to be in the process.

being in this process they need to make sure they are making that clear to the mayor and council. “We are operating on the assumption that if we get a letter from the mayor of Penticton saying, ‘Please consider our proposal,’ we should consider that proposal, assuming that they have met the test that they believe is necessary to have the proposal considered. And I am sure you can imagine I cannot extend the process six weeks to wait for one community to basically have a binding referendum,” said Bond.

Morning Star Staff
One of progressive rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous voices will be heard high upon the hills that surround Vernon when Jon Anderson performs at this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th annual Komasket Music Festival, July 29 to 31. Best known as the front-man of the British band Yes, Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high falsetto can be heard on such classic songs as Roundabout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Seen All Good People, and Owner of a Lonely Heart. Some may also remember Anderson for his work singing back-up vocals on Canadian singer Gowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1987 Top 10 hit Moonlight Desires. Anderson joins another well-known confirmed artist coming to Komasket, the return of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own folk icon, Cree singer/songwriter Buffy St. Marie, who will perform with her brand new band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plans for celebrating the 10th annual festival include bringing back some of the favourite artists of the last nine years, offering over 20 free workshops, from African and samba dance to poi spinning, belly dance, drumming, yoga with live music, and the history of the Okanagan Nation, and increasing the age for free entry for kids to 14 years,â&#x20AC;? said Komasketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director Devaki Thomas. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival saw a record attendance with more than 4,000 people, an exciting mix of all ages including festival-goers from all over western Canada, plus a huge crew of artists, volunteers, sponsors and vendors.

Jon Anderson, the front man of British progrock band Yes, has been announced as a headliner for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th annual Komakset Music Festival. Many came to hear the distinct world beat flavour of The Wailers, Delhi 2 Dublin, OKA, Samsara, Cheb I Sabbah, Alex Cuba and many others, said Thomas.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The KMF is outdoing itself again this year with a lineup that includes some the hottest acts on the international festival circuit on four stages for over 35 hours of world class live music and dance,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The slogan â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world music and dance celebrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reflects the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasingly diverse lineup, which is attracting more international, national and regional performing artists of high acclaim, positioning Vernon on the cultural map.â&#x20AC;? Other confirmed artists this year include South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nkulee Dube (daughter of late African reggae king Lucky Dube) with her nine-piece African reggae band, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own groove dance band OKA, who return to Komasket for another year, Moscow, Russia composer, musician and multi-instrumentalist Bulat Gafarov, Zimbabwe marimba and percussion master Kurai Mubaiwa, Tibetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Jamyang Yeshi, and San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Suzanne Teng. The province will also be well represented with Juno and recent B.C. Interior Music Award winner DJ Adham Shaik and the Wassabi Collective Duo, all of Nelson, along with Vancouver samba, gypsy-folk minstrels Maria in the Shower, violinist Kytami of Delhi 2 Dublin fame, DJ Phonograff, band Aaron Nazrul and The Boom Boomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, jazzEast Indian fusion group Niktex, Serbianby-the-way-of-Vancouver gypsy dance party Tambura Rasa, Okanagan-Edmonton multiaward winner hoop dancer and songwriter
Dallas Arcand, Vancouver Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul jazz blues multi instrumentalist Emily Spiller, fellow Vancouver Island songstress Ashley Robyn Slater, and middle eastern dancer extraordinaire Taiya Curle. Other local performers include Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mikhal Waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Band, Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kinshira Fire Troupe and Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Cod Gone Wild, Sound Splash, Paperboy, Lorelle Raindown, and Devi Dasi Dance Co. The ever popular Kidzone will also feature a number of family entertainers including Lost & Found Puppet Theatre, silk aerial artists Evlolutionaries, African drumming with Angela Roy, Marimba from Zimbabwe with Kurai Mubaiwa, Musical Mayhem with Tippy Agogo and the legendary KMF Kidzone procession with the Nelson Samba Band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jam Stage was also a huge hit last year bringing bands together to collaborate on the spot,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas, adding organizers are now taking suggestions for artists to pair up together through the KMF Facebook page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plans are also in the makings to improve the overall infrastructure of the festival including upgrades to the parking and camping.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for the Komasket Music Festival are now available online or by phone through the Ticket Seller at ticketseller.ca or 250-5497469. A weekend pass is $85 until July 29.

Say YAA to youth Morning Star Staff
The second annual Youth Achievement and Appreciation (YAA) Festival promotes youth accomplishment and provides information on community resources for youth and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to create an opportunity to celebrate positive contributions of youth and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun way to let them know about youth services,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Lauritsen, program manager for the Corrections Career Centre, which sponsors the festival with funding from Service Canada. Last year, the festival saw 400 youth attend and everyone really enjoyed the live music, skateboarding and free food, added Lauritsen.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some commented that they found out about agencies that they might never have approached otherwise.â&#x20AC;? A member of the communitybased youth services team, made up of representatives of all youthserving agencies in the North Okanagan, is working with the team on the festival. Youth health agencies and sports and other clubs of interest to youth, will have information booths. There will be a Career Fair with representatives from local employment agencies, educational institutions and major employers. The Little Black Book, a pocket-size resource book for youth, will be re-launched, including a new, on-line version.

Adrenaline pumps up the jam Morning Star Staff

Ashley Heighton busts a move alongside the Pleasant Valley Secondary Adrenaline dance team as they practice their hip hop routine for Together - We Can make a Difference Wednesday at the PVSS theatre.
S ome lo ca l Armstrong students are putting their talents to a good cause. Touched by the community’s generosity in their recent competitions, Pleasant Valley Secondary School’s Adrenaline dance team is ready to give back. The dance team is teaming up with the school’s choirs and jazz band for the production Together – We Can Make a Difference, Wednesday, May 18 at 7 p.m. in the PVSS theatre. “Come on out for a wonderful evening of song, dance and music performed by the young and young at heart,” said Janet Gilles, Adrenaline dance teacher. All proceeds from the
evening will be donated to the Haugen Health Centre in Armstrong and the Tsunami Relief Fund for Japan. “We wanted to help those in our community as well as abroad,” said Gilles. The evening will showcase the four competition pieces of the Adrenaline dance team, four to six musical pieces by the Senior Jazz Band (run by Jim Howie) and four to six songs by the two choirs, Tapestry and Encore, run by Len Wood Middle School music teacher Deborah Mehes. “The end of the evening will feature a group number with all the performers and following the show all audience members are welcome to enjoy
Breathe in new exhibitions at Headbones Morning Star Staff
It’s nothing but clear skies for the new exhibition titled Breathing Room on view until June 19 at Vernon’s Headbones Gallery. From Regina, Donna Kriekle wisps eloquently with 26 sky paintings on canvas. Featured in The Picture Gallery, which is a long space, Kriekle’s sky paintings set the mood for springtime. “With the optimism of the subject matter elevating the gamut of the skyway, lyrics come to mind that raise the spirits like the budding breath of a brand new day – ‘nothing but clear skies…,’” said Headbones owner Julie Oakes. In turn, candy-coated bunnies are falling from the sky in the Drawers Gallery with oil paintings by Winnipeg native Robert Farmer. Farmer’s tongue-incheek “splatstick” resonates with the nostalgia of a less complicated era fallen prey to the havocs of chaos, said Oakes. “His detailed renderings and technical virtuosity bring a world with a foot in childhood into the more complicated realms of gaming and advertising media.” Visitors to Headbones can also breathe in 19 individual
miniature paintings by Toronto artist Daniel Hanequand, which are hung salon style in a three-foot square space in The Paper Gallery. “Their mini-counterparts form couplets, trios and rows of under-handsized, sci-fi, surreal, and sometimes haunting little pictures,” said Oakes. The opening reception for Breathing Room is Saturday, noon to 5 p.m., and the gallery’s regular hours are Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 6 p.m. Headbones is located

Arts Hood is too cheeky for its own good
AISLE SEAT
WEINSTEIN COMPANY
Red Riding Hood tries to hold on to her basket of goodies as she free falls into the new sequel, Hoodwinked Too: Hood Vs. Evil. Riding Hood to the rather lifeless pipes of Hayden Panettiere. In Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, the Happily Ever Agency is back in action, including Red, the big-kinda-but-not-really-bad wolf (Patrick Warburton) and Granny (Glenn Close). Their mission is to rescue Hansel and Gretel (Bill Hader and Amy Poehler) from the clutches of an evil witch (Joan Cusack). The case takes the gang to the Beanstalk Club, where a mob-connected giant (Brad Garrett) and a singing harp (Wayne Newton) reside. There’s also something about a magic cupcake recipe,
and Cheech and Chong provide cameos as thugs. And uh.... well, I think that’s about it. Kids, please hear me out... I’m not actively trying to dislike every animated movie that comes down the pike. I wanted to like Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, honestly I did. But with clunky animation and tired pop culture clichés (c’mon, will kids even understand ‘70s stoner humour –– hello, Chong –– or Silence of the Lambs references?), it was kind of a trying sit. My 10-year-old daughter thought it was OK, not great, just OK –– not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil ★★ out of 5 Why are you reading that book?” Boingo the Bunny questions another character during the twisted fairy tale romp Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil. “Nobody reads books anymore. Movies are always better. Especially sequels!” Who’s Boingo the Bunny, you ask? Doesn’t matter. (And considering it’s the voice of the horrifically unfunny Andy Jason Armstrong Dick behind ol’ floppy ears, it REALLY doesn’t matter.) The fact is, Boingo’s little comment all but sums up the problem with Hoodwinked Too! So self-congratulatory on its sarcastic quips (some hit, plenty miss) that there’s an eerie –– and undeserved –– cocky vibe oozing out of this thing, it’s a wonder the creatures don’t snap their wee animated arms trying to pat themselves on the back. Not as poor as it is sloppy, it’s hard to say how we’d look at a movie like Hoodwinked Too! had there never been a Shrek. Unfortunately, there WAS a Shrek, (four of them, in fact) and thus, this comes off as a knock off. Or, to make matters worse, a sequel to a knock off.

Never judge an album by its cover Candelora Calgary pop/rock quartet, Candelora’s debut recording appears to take a few stylistic cues from the 1990s.

But on to the music – and this calls to mind ‘90s pop stars Savage Garden.

There’s more to life than ABC and 123 for Vernon artist Angelika Jaeger, whose latest exhibition, Go-Figure-Life, has opened at Ashpa Naira Gallery. The paintings and sculptures featured in the show examine the relationship between numbers and life. “There has always been a certain attraction for letters and numbers in mankind,” said Jaeger. “From the creation of what we know as figures today, they have always held an ambiguity and kept us informed, intrigued or make us work with and for them. Life is figured in a home or nest. We are born into a figurative fabric, which becomes the task of our life to figure it out.” The exhibition runs from now to July 3. Ashpa Naira Gallery is located on the westside of Okanagan Lake, and is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday to Sunday. Admission is free. More information is available at www.ashpanairagallery.com.

Whitevale’s Cedar Bridge School hosts Mayfair Sunday Submitted to The Morning Star
Out at Cedar Bridge Farm School in Whitevale, there is a seed being planted, literally, with its young students. In an effort to bridge the urban/rural gap that is increasingly affecting our communities, the teachers at Cedar Bridge School are creating an opportunity for children to reconnect with their natural environment, with where their food comes from, and participate in the stewardship of the land around them. In the Waldorf-inspired programs at Cedar Bridge School, biodynamic gardening, farming and care of animals are an integral part of the curriculum.
With the warm weather of spring, the children are able to see the fruits of their hard work in the fall planting daffodil, tulip and garlic bulbs, sprouting through the rich soil. As they wait for the last of the spring frosts to dissipate, preparations for their class vegetable gardens are being made and the children are an integral part of both the planning and care of their own gardens. The school is nestled between a hillside forest and an organic farm (Vale Farms). Throughout the year, the children experience the changes in the forest around them and at the farm they participate in the care of animals

and see the processes of a farm over the course of the seasons. Learning about local food is easy when it’s experienced first hand. In celebration of spring, the school will be hosting a Mayfest celebration and fundraiser, open to the general public. Children’s activities, music, Maypole dances, pony rides and more will be happening on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 730 Whitevale Rd. Lumby. Come out and experience the beauty of spring with us. Cedar Bridge School is a nonprofit organization. To learn more about the school and its programs, check out www.cedarbridgeschool. org.

You can get more detailed information through ASHA’s website at ashastd.org. Dear Annie: My husband of two years is constantly playing a computer game. When “Jon” comes home from work, he eats dinner and then sits in his recliner with his computer until he falls asleep. He’ll then get up in the middle of the night to sleep in the guest room. I’m eight weeks pregnant, and he says he doesn’t want to wake me, but he’s been doing this for months. On weekends, he’s online from the time he gets home until late at night. We have a 3-year-old son, who craves his father’s attention. I’ve told him I wish he would cut back on his computer time, but he doesn’t see anything
wrong with it. If I plan a family night out, he’d rather stay home. We also have virtually no sex life (his choice), and he occasionally visits porn sites. The other day, he left our house to help a friend move a piano and came home 12 hours later, drunk. His phone had conveniently died, so I was not able to reach him. He sees nothing wrong with this behavior. Please help me convince him that something needs to change. — Desperate for Family Time Dear Desperate: Your husband sounds just as unhappy as you. The computer, the drinking, the time helping friends are his way of escaping his responsibilities at home and avoiding the conflicting thoughts he associates with having a second child. Ask your doctor or pediatrician to refer you to a counselor who will help the two of you work through this. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Love My In-Laws, But,” who invited her husband’s

Saturday’s parking lot sale, including clowns, balloons and a hot dog sale, raises funds to go directly to the Vernon Women’s Transition House.

Royal LePage is the only Canadian real estate company with its own charity empowering agents and sales reps to make positive difference at local and national levels.
The largest public foundation in Canada, it is dedicated exclusively to supporting shelters and ending violence against women and children. In partnership with the Canadian Women’s Foundation, Royal LePage provides grants to provincial agencies that help women gain independence and economic self-sufficiency. The Shelter Foundation is also a major financial contributor to the Fourth R, a high school program for preventing dating violence, substance abuse, and risky sexual practices. The sale takes place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Royal LePage parking lot at 4007-32 St., Vernon. For more information call Nicole Makohoniuk at 250-306-1376.

“I have enjoyed selling chocolates with so many wonderful and nice people. I’m better at math now, because my step-dad always asks me questions at home or at the grocery store, then wants me too answer correctly, some are difficult. I’m learning job skills, like receiving cash and returning correct change, eye contact and being courteous. This boosts my self-confidence when meeting new people. One of my goals was to earn money to buy LuLu Lemon pants, instead of bugging my parents for money. I thank Gary, my parents and friends I sell chocolates with for this opportunity to achieve my personal goals. Tanayia

News Officials assess flood potential
If it’s not worth driving, it’s not worth building.
BARB BROUWER Black Press
Whether there will be flooding in the Shuswap is still up in the air. The cooler weather has delayed the snow melt by about two weeks, says David Campbell, head of the Operations River Forecast Centre. “We haven’t seen rivers rise much yet, with well below normal flow on the South and North Thompson,” he says, noting flow is only twothirds of normal. While many snow packs continued to increase in April, as of late last week, data revealed the melt has begun at most stations where snow pack measurements are recorded. — Campbell And while snow pack is much higher than normal in some parts of the province, the snow pillows that provide water to the Shuswap and Salmon rivers are just slightly above normal at 110 and 113 per cent. “We’re not concerned about the water that has to run off the mountains, the snowpack is not indicating a potential for flooding,” says Campbell. “And the snowpack is only one piece of the puzzle.” Weather is the other important part of the equation and much harder to measure. Sunshine enthusiasts can blame La Niña for spring’s slow arrival and, while she is dissipating, it’s a flip of a coin as to whether cooler-than-normal temperatures will prevail through May, June and July. “There’s a kind of a memory to weather, it takes a while for the temperatures to warm up,” says Doug Lundquist, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, who points out there could be warm periods within the expected cooler-than-normal three months ahead. Campbell and Lundquist agree that what will drive the melt over the next three to seven weeks – and the speed with which the rivers fill – is mother nature. An extended period of really warm weather or a warm rain, one followed by the other, or a combination of the two is what officials will be watching for. “The best scenario would be continued cool weather and snow melting slowly,” says Lundquist.

Activity Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL When unexpected pleasant developments occur in the near future, do not let them sweep you off your feet. Focus on them one at a time, and only when you’re prepared to develop them to their fullest.
PUZZLE NO. 203
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Things could tend to irritate you, and because of this it isn’t likely that you will work well under pressure. If at all possible, try to stay a few jumps ahead of your duties.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you get involved in a business matter with a friend, chances are that working together won’t be anything like you thought. What occurs could put your relationship in jeopardy.
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 100529

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep your cool if certain demands placed on you are severe and unreasonable. Everything can be handled successfully when you have control of yourself and what’s at hand. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A failure on your part to pay attention to details could quickly get you into trouble. Remember, it’s always some small, insignificant detail that everyone ignores that causes all the trouble. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you have been noticing that a joint endeavor in which you’re involved is showing very little signs of success, it might be time to consider easing yourself out of the arrangement. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The only thing that being too self-serving and headstrong will do is make life extremely unpleasant for you and those around you. It won’t gain you any kind of advantage.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If everyone in the family is at odds with one another, including you, try to go off by yourself in order to put things in proper perspective. Once you do, you can pull things together, without falling apart. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You know it is best not to prematurely try to launch something that still has lots of wrinkles to be ironed out. If you do anyway, and it fails, you might not get a second chance. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A “what’s in it for me” attitude will get you nowhere fast. If friends or associates think you’re only looking out for yourself, they will quickly learn to avoid you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) When negotiating with someone who looks like she or he is holding all the cards, you should take a break to review the situation. If need be, call in an expert to handle the matter for you.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Properly preparing yourself will help you perform better than if you were to just wing it. Control events instead of letting them control you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Stay away from activities with friends that involve expenses that you can’t meet. Call some pals who are in your shoes and are happy to participate in something inexpensive.

Lack of Crown prosecutors impacting cases CHERYL WIERDA Black Press
Crown prosecutors in Kelowna are maxed out and can’t take on any more trials until fall, the court heard Monday. Administrative Crown counsel Wendy Kavanagh told Justice Randall Wong that there aren’t any prosecutors available until October. Kavanagh’s comments came in response
to a defence lawyer’s request to set an early trial date for her client. Lawyer Jennifer Thorne was told by trial co-ordinators that court time was available as early as this month, but that the Crown office couldn’t have a prosecutor available until October. The aggravated assault and assault with a weapon case is specially assigned to a specific prosecutor, said Kavanagh, but she did

check if other Crown prosecutors might be available. “There is just not any time within our office to absorb this file,” said Kavanagh, saying they already took on some cases as requested by Thorne’s predecessor. “We are maxed out. There is just not a prosecutor to absorb this file between now and October.” Vernon and Penticton’s Crown offices

are also short-staffed as Kavanagh said their issue is not that they don’t have enough senior lawyers to handle such a trial. “We have almost exclusively senior counsel,” said Kavanagh, noting that places their office in a “fairly unique” position. The trial is being set for October, but the case will return to court in early June to check if some pending cases don’t go to trial, freeing up a prosecutor before fall. ALL VEHICLES INCLUDE:

University librarian receives top honour Morning Star Staff
UBC Okanagan’s chief librarian is about to receive the highest honour from the Canadian Library Association. Melody Burton will be presented with the Miles Blackwell Outstanding Academic Librarian Award May 27 at the Canadian Association of College and University Libraries Annual General Meeting, during the Canadian Library Association’s national conference in Halifax. The award recognizes Burton for tireless service to the profession, unwavering commitment to mentorship, and excellent leadership within various libraries. Through her career, Burton has made an impact at many academic libraries: Concordia College in Edmonton, University of Alberta, York University, University of Windsor, Queen’s University, and UBC’s Okanagan campus where she has been chief librarian since 2005. “This is a tremendous honour for Melody, and reflects the leadership, professionalism and dedication she has shown here at UBC and throughout her career,” said Doug Owram, deputy vice chancellor and principal at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “Since 2005 we have seen our library grow from serving 3,500 students to meeting the needs of more than 7,000 undergraduate and graduate students. It has been a remarkable time of growth, and Melody’s experience and passion have allowed us to expand and continue to deliver excellent library programs and services.” Burton is known as an inspiring leader with an imaginative approach to problem solving. Nominators described her as a “natural leader,” “a woman of insight” and “an advocate and an activist.”
“Melody’s experience and passion have allowed us to expand and continue to deliver excellent library programs and services.” — Doug Owram

Moderately Confused
Cutting the heat out this summer never looked so good.
Bridge by Phillip Alder Fran Lebowitz said, “I’ve done the calculation and your chances of winning the lottery are identical whether you play or not.” That is nearly correct. And if you buy two lotto tickets, you will double that microscopic chance. At the bridge table, though, two chances to make your contract are definitely preferable to one. In this deal, what are your two chances? You are in three no-trump. West leads the diamond jack, East plays the king, and you win with your ace. How would you continue? Opening two clubs and rebidding three no-trump shows a balanced hand with 25-27 points. North wondered if you also had
four spades, but he could not risk getting to four notrump if a 4-4 spade fit did not exist. You have eight top tricks: three spades, two hearts, two diamonds (given the opening lead) and one club. It looks obvious to play on clubs for the ninth winner. And the best play is to cash the ace. If an honor appears, you will know how to continue. But if you collect only the two and eight, you play a heart to dummy’s king and lead a low club toward your hand. You will play the suit for the loss of only one trick nearly 83 percent of the time. However, do not overlook the second chance -- a 3-3 spade
break. After the club ace does not drop an honor, play off your three spade winners. If spades split 3-3, perfect; you cash the spade eight when on the board with the heart king. Your chance has increased to almost 89 percent.

Ben moved his family to Grand Forks in 1948 from Penticton, where he worked for the Oliver Chemical Company. He quickly acquired farm land and established his sprinkler irrigation business. In the 1950s and 60s, Ben became the leading irrigation businessman in southern BC, with operations from the Okanagan valley to the Alberta border. He specialized in the agri-business, as well as government and golf course irrigation design. In his later years, he reflected with satisfaction on having designed and installed systems for virtually every sizable farm in southern BC. For many years, he was a director and board chair on the Interior Vegetable Marketing Board. He was always ready to try new methods and farm equipment. Ben’s irrigation expertise lead to him being appointed as a Vice President of Alcan Canada. He directed the aluminum products fabrication plant, which served the Pacific Northwest from its location in Vernon. When he retired from Alcan, he and Doll returned to Grand Forks. After selling his farm acreage, well into normal retirement age, Ben turned to trucking and had as many as five trucks hauling chips for DC Chambers to the Castlegar Mill. He retired from this last business venture at the age of 84. In retirement years Ben and Doll finally found time for travel ... to Alaska, Hawaii, New Orleans, Branson and various other destinations. When not travelling, Ben could be found golfing at the Christina Lake Golf and Country Club with his many friends and his wife, Doll. Ben, along with other community-minded leaders, built the Christina Lake Golf course in 1962. In Grand Forks he was active in contributing to his community. He served as Chairman of the Board of the Regional Grand Forks Hospital, as a Director of Regional District D, was a member of the Gyros and in his later years sang with the Grand Forks Choral Society community choir with his beautiful baritone voice. Arrangements are entrusted to the Grand Forks Funeral Home. The Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, May 14, 2011 at the Gospel Chapel, 7048 Donaldson Drive, Grand Forks. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
Until there's a cure, there's us.

EDWARD LEONARD HUBNER August 7, 1934 - May 9, 2011 Edward Leonard Hubner passed peacefully Monday, May 9th at The Gateby in Vernon aŌer a long baƩle with Parkinson’s disease. Born August 7th, 1934 in Vernon;”Big Eddy” lived in the general area for his enƟre life. A hard-working family-man, Ed built sawmills and logged at various locaƟons from Mara to Cherryville. He aƩended Beairsto Elementary School, then started skidding with horses (alongside his father and brothers) in Trinity Valley. A lover of converƟble cars, Ed was a tall handsome Įgure on the streets of Vernon in the 1950’s. He eventually gave a ride to Edna Wlasuk, married her shortly thereaŌer and adored her forever. The marriage centered around their children and friends, as well as stockcar racing, hobby farming, and camping. Ed was a natural athlete, an all-star addiƟon to any hockey or baseball team. He was known for his gentleness, kindness and paƟence, ready to assist family, friends and neighbours in any way. The couple volunteered with various church projects and Ed helped many of the new immigrants with his wisdom and advice. A gentle and fair man, Ed was well-loved by all who knew him. Although quiet and reserved, Ed was passionate about tradiƟonal values, the Vernon Vipers, and of couse, great food. He and Edna loved to travel roaming the US and Mexico from 1980 - 2000, spliƫng their Ɵme between Holiday Park (Lake Country), Nashville TN, and Mesa AR in their ĮŌh-wheel. Ed knew the roads to ‘anywhere’, and where the best buīet was located once you reached your desƟnaƟon. Ed will be greatly missed by his wife, Edna, three children and three grandchildren: Debbie (Kent) Adams, Kevin (Paƫ, Jake, Jesse) Hubner and Tanis (Ella) Kuntz. His brothers, Don (Joan) and Norman (Launa) plus his sisters, BeƩy (Floyd) Robbins, Ruth (John) Schwartz, and Marlene (Larry) Kern also grieve the loss of their big brother and were all present for Ed’s last days. A celebraƟon of life was held at First BapƟst Church on May 12th, 2011. In lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons can be made to Hospice House or the Parkinson Society in memory of Ed... thank you to all.
