Woman trapped under tractor JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

A tractor accident has landed a Vernon woman in hospital.

The manager of the Cedar Falls Campground and RV Park, on Tillicum Road, was operating a small tractor Monday afternoon when it rolled down an incline and landed on top of her.

“The fender had her pinned to the ground,” said campground co-owner Dwight Cousins.

“It looks like it went sideways on her.”

The 50-year-oldwoman, who lives alone on site with her two dogs, was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

“She’s fairly bruised and it looks like she’s coming out of it with three cracked ribs and a cracked tailbone,” said co-owner Paul Cousins. “But no organ damage or any broken bones.”

The campground manager is also eager to get home.

“She’s itching to get back up here,” said Paul, adding that she is also missed by the staff and campers. “She’s pretty

Aside from her phys-

wrecking the tractor.

“She loved driv-

Workplace B.C. is conducting an inves-

Officers shut down Spallumcheen grow-op ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Police are investigating the possibility that a huge Spallumcheen marijuana grow-operation may be linked to organized crime.

Officers from the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP executed a search warrant Monday morning in the 5300 block of Deep Creek Road.

“We are looking into whether there’s a link to organized crime.”

— Gord Molendyk The search of the property located nearly 4,000 marijuana plants and assort-

ed growing equipment.

“This operation was being powered by two large diesel generators in a shop that appeared to have been built for the purpose of growing marijuana,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk “It’s a major bust, no two ways about it.

When you’re dealing with this amount of plants in one place, it’s a significant bust.

We are looking into whether there’s a link

to organized crime.”

This investigation is continuing and a 51-year-old Kelowna man arrested was released on a promise to appear for the production of marijuana.

“The Vernon-North Okanagan detachment, as one of our strategic priorities in crime reduction, will continue to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle grow operations within our region,” said Molendyk.

News New school embraced by students RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Students and staff have been in the new Coldstream Elementary School for seven months, but the excitement hasn’t worn off.

An enthusiastic ceremony was held Monday to officially open the $13.6 million facility on Kalamalka Road. “It’s cool to think we’re the first Grade 7 students in the classes and desks,� said student Ayla Winston.

Wall colours reflect a fall day in adjacent Coldstream Park, while there are computer stations in each class and curved benches in the foyer have become popular gathering places. “There’s actual light coming through the windows,� said Emma Wilton, a Grade 6 student. “In the old school, the windows in my class were boarded over.�

Attending Monday’s official opening was George Abbott, B.C.’s education minister. “I am much impressed. Why I didn’t have a school like this when I was growing up, I don’t know,� he said. “I love the light, I love the layout. Not every student in the province gets to have a wonderful gym or music room.�

As much as the ceremony celebrated the new facility, there was also considerable reflection about what was lost. The old school — parts of which dated back to 1909 — has been demolished. “Yes the school was tired and worn out but it was like a comfortable shoe you like wearing,� said Janet Townsend, a former student who has taught at Coldstream Elementary

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

George Abbott, education minister, hands a letter over to kindergarten students Trey Schober and Aimee Skinner and principal Tracy Godfrey Monday. The letter went into a time capsule to mark the official opening of the new Coldstream Elementary. since 1979. “I cried and cried when the old one got torn down.�

But while the surroundings have changed, the strong bond between students and staff remains. “There’s the same people and the same

feeling,� said Alicia Hill-Turner, a Grade 7 student.

It was pointed out that the 383 students currently occupying classrooms can claim to have attended both the old and new schools. “This can never happen again and it makes you all kind of special,� said Bill Turanski,

Vernon School District chairperson.

For the first time since 2009, construction fence is now gone. That means playgrounds and fields previously ripped up have been restored and are being used by students. “Two years later, we are here as a team. We did it,� said principal Tracy Godfrey.

Enderby highway work takes summer break RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Major upgrades to Highway 97A in Enderby are taking the summer off.

City council approved a Ministry of Transportation plan Monday to cease construction until September because of ongoing delays. “They are telling us they are behind (by about a month),� said Mayor Dee Wejr. “There have been a lot of challenges, particularly with our infrastructure, like water connections.

Other improvements are also being considered, including possibly taking out the yellow centre lines on Highway 97A at Granville Street. “People won’t feel like they are breaking the law by going across the lines to do a left turn or go across the highway,� said Wejr.

Another option is to construct a crosswalk halfway between Mill and Hubert streets or to take the painted lines off at Cliff Street to allow for

Strike impacts post offices RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Canada’s postal strike is having an impact in the North Okanagan.

Picket signs have not shown up in front of local Canada Post outlets but staffing has been reduced.

“All temporary workers have been sent home,” said John Bail, Pacific director with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

The union also claims all part-time workers have had their hours reduced.

“This is not due to a lack of mail it is due to malice because the employer is upset that we are taking limited strike action,” said Bail.

“Postal workers are doing the best they can under these circumstances.”

Rotating strikes have been held across Canada, including Victoria and Moncton, N.B. Tuesday.

Canada Post officials say staffing levels have been adjusted across the country because of the rotating strikes.

“There is less mail in the system,” said Jon Hamilton, corporation spokesperson, adding that is impacting revenue.

“We have to do what we can to manage costs.”

The corporation is currently not allowing any overtime, and casual workers are not being used to cover for full and part-

time workers.

Hamilton says there has been no reduction in part-time staff.

There have been some instances where mail has not been delivered to homes in Vernon.

“If a letter carrier is not available, we are not calling a casual worker in,” said Hamilton.

“If customers didn’t get their mail one day, they will get it the next day.”

There are no current plans for the union to set up picket signs in the North Okanagan.

“At this point Vernon is not included in our strike action,” said Bail.

Robbers use knife in park

Sun Valley Will Be Closed Fri. June 10th Until 4:00pm To Prepar For This Unbeatab e le Sale

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Police are on the lookout for two men who used a knife to rob a Vernon man Saturday.

A 26-year-old resident called police just after 10 p.m. to say he’d been robbed at knife point by two unknown men at Justice Court Park on 30th Avenue.

“The victim advised that two suspects grabbed him by his shirt as he was walking near the park and pulled him under the concrete structure there,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

“Once underneath, they pinned him up against the pillar and demanded money while holding a knife up to his cheek.”

Molendyk said the man tossed his wallet containing cash to the ground. One of the suspects picked up the wallet, took the money out and tossed the wallet back to the victim.

“The suspect with the knife cut the victim on the arm, and the man also suffered a scratch on the cheek where the knife had been,” said Molendyk.

One of the men also punched the victim and threw him to the ground, resulting in a swollen cheek.

The only description given to police was that both suspects were wearing dark hoodies pulled up over their heads, both had on jeans and one of the men had either a shaved head or his hair was cut very short.

The victim refused an ambulance to take him to the hospital for treatment.

Anybody with any information on the incident is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Vernon RCMP are investigating whether they have a suspect in custody for one theft or if he’s possibly connected to more.

Officers were called Sunday at 8:30 p.m. to a report of an attempted theft of a stereo from a pickup in the 7300 block of Okanagan Landing Road.

Police were given a description of a white vehicle leaving the scene, and that vehicle was stopped by officers near the Longhorn Pub on 25th Avenue.

“A 40-year-old man was arrested, and our officers are continuing to investigate as this suspect may have been responsible for several other thefts, and possibly a break-and-enter in Vernon over the past several days,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Monday.

Molendyk said the suspect is known to police officers.

Despite some tr ying circumstances, ArmstrongSpallumcheen Parks and Recreation Commission plans to continue delivering top service.

The commission recently chopped its 2011 budget by more than $200,000, including removing a $70,000 contingency fund.

Windows and glass have had to been replaced at both the Nor-Val Sports Centre and new aquatic centre after some recent acts of vandalism.

“We’re on budget and we’re quite comfortable where we’re at,” said commission chair, Coun. Dave Brew of Spallumcheen, at Monday’s township council meeting.

The commission was told to reduce its budget by both the City of Armstrong and Township of Spallumcheen.

Other reductions include dropping staffing levels by $52,000.

“We didn’t hire a summer student, and we’ve eliminated the standby/on-call weekend position, where someone would be on call to fix something,” said Brew.

“We didn’t hire a summer student.”

— Dave Brews A beach volleyball court slated for the aquatic centre was taken out of the budget, and no new portable bleachers will be added to the Nor-Val centre or Hassen Arena.

Special projects,

including upgrading computer software at the parks and rec office, totalling $63,000 were eliminated.

And the commission’s marketing budget dropped from nearly $138,000 to $14,000.

“That hasn’t really dropped, it was labour and everything else included in the marketing numbers,” said Brew. “Both councils thought we were spending too much money on marketing, which we’re not, really. That’s just a change in what it’s called.”

To help combat the vandalism issues, Spallumcheen Coun.

While cancer has touched the lives of so many, Kyla Grant is one of the lucky few.

Even though she’s never been personally affected by the disease, she still wanted to give back.

And Vernon’s Relay for Life provided the perfect opportunity to do so.

Surrounded by nearly 400 cancer survivors and supporters of finding a cure, Grant went under the razor at Polson Park Saturday.

Before the event, she had 32 inches of hair dangling down past her waist. Now, she barely has stubble.

“I’m completely bald. It’s nice, I’ve got a little breeze going on up here,” laughed the 23-year-old Armstrong mom.

No one believed Grant would actually cut the lovely locks she had treasured so dearly.

“Everybody was kind of in shock and awe,” said Grant. “My hair is my pride and joy.”

But when Grant thought about all of those who, on top of dealing with the pain of cancer and treatment, loose their own hair during chemotherapy, her heart went out to them.

“There was never a choice in the matter. You think of all the people who go through chemotherapy and they don’t actually get a choice.

“I think everybody should do it.”

Grant’s story of support is just one of hundreds that took place Saturday evening at the relay – which raised a record amount of $151,009, and is still climbing.

“It was the best event ever,” proclaims Sarah Pruckl, Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life co-ordinator.

Consie Severson kick-starts Saturday’s Relay for Life with an energetic Zumba warmup in Polson Park.

“For me, it was quite emotional. You look at these people here that have come here because they want to find a cure.”

Even despite the event’s conflict with the game three of the Stanley Cup, just under 400 participants came out, including 120 cancer survivors.

Team Christy was the biggest supporter of the event – a team in memory of Christy Maygard, who died in November 2010 at just 26-years-old – raising $21,417.

Maygard’s sister, Kelsey Nudd, even made the top individual fundraiser, bringing in $13,900.

Entertainment and activities filled the park throughout the evening and prizes were awarded to top fundraisers and those with the most

spirit.

The team Hell Bent Against Hodgkin’s won the grand prize, a houseboat vacation from Twin Anchors.

For anyone who missed out on the event and wants to help make a difference, donations are still being accepted at www.relayforlife.ca.

The name game

R

eaders may have noticed that after 23 years of publication, The Morning Star has abandoned the term North Okanagan Regional District. It has been replaced by the Regional District of the North Okanagan.

The explanation is that in an effort to reduce potential public confusion, The Morning Star will use the same name that the regional district uses in its advertising.

Some may believe that the regional district has changed its name but it hasn’t. Under letters patent (it’s like a birth certificate), Regional District of the North Okanagan has always been the legal Richard Rolke name since the agency started in 1965. The specific origins of NORD are unknown but it goes back at least 40 years.

“I came to the District of Coldstream in 1970 and it was being called NORD then,” said Peter Mackiewich, who was regional district administrator from 1973 to 1997.

“The letters patent doesn’t stop you from using either one (NORD or RDNO).”

Neil Davidson, who was Vernon’s mayor in the 1980s, promoted valley-wide abbreviations: NORD (North Okanagan), CORD (Central Okanagan) and SORD (South Okanagan).

As the public latched on to NORD, Mackiewich says the district promoted the name, including in advertising.

“We absolutely used NORD. Nobody I ever worked with had a problem with it,” he said.

There’s never been an official explanation as to why a name the regional district encouraged residents to use for years has now taken a backseat.

It should be pointed out that The Morning Star has never received an official request from the regional district board or senior administration to switch to RDNO. The trigger appears

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

to date back to the last couple of years when some mid-level staff asked the paper to use RDNO in articles. Once again, they have never indicated why they are apparently troubled by NORD. If you attend board meetings, you will hear most individual directors refer to the organization as NORD. Are these elected officials wrong or just reflecting the language used by their constituents?

As the regional district reporter for almost 18 years, I have discussed the name with senior administrators and board chairpersons, and it’s been a non-issue. They recognized that NORD had become part of the common lexicon. It flows off the tongue a lot easier than RDNO and after four decades, people know exactly what NORD means when they hear or read it.

Both local radio stations still refer to NORD while the only media that generally uses RDNO are Internet services.

If an official name were the basis for everything, we’d all say the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre instead of the simplified Performing Arts Centre. The City of Vernon should be shelved for the Corporation of the City of Vernon.

Many of us have one name on our birth certificate but opt for another in our day-today lives.

At a time when respect for government is difficult to find, jurisdictions at all levels should be doing everything possible to be more approachable.

If residents are comfortable using NORD and the term reinforces awareness about the agency, then a decades-old tradition should be accepted. Instead, a small group of bureaucrats are pursuing a different direction and that can only lead to confusion and cynicism among the public.

One also has to wonder if there are not more pressing matters on the regional district agenda.

When it comes to the Canada Postal workers strike, one question is likely to be asked a lot.

Something like this, perhaps: “Who will notice?”

But the same factors that make regular ‘snail’ mail less relevant are also likely to make whatever action the postal workers’ union takes this week into a long one, perhaps rivalling the epic postal strikes of the ’70s and early ’80s.

The difference this time is that the union is in a far weaker bargaining position.

Courier services and e-mail have cut deeply into Canada Post’s core business – even having bills arrive by e-mail is no longer uncommon, and paying bills electronically is nearing universality – so a postal strike no longer has the possibility of bringing commerce to a standstill.

That’s not to say that Canada Post is unnecessary.

Social assistance cheques of various kinds still arrive via mail and, except for hand delivery, the mail is the most effective way of getting original copies of documents across the country.

But what a lengthy strike will do is encourage people to make even more use of direct deposit, electronic communications and courier services as a substitute, hastening the transformation of Canada Post into just another commercial courier service, moving farther away from its prime position of being Canada’s official carrier.

Both sides in this dispute have a lot to lose if a protracted strike occurs. They need to take a step back and consider how the public will react to the strike.

They then need to sit down at the table and keep at the negotiations until they find an acceptable compromise.

Water meters draw support

W

hen the City of Armstrong asked for people to volunteer to put water meters in last year, I volunteered right away. I was curious to see how much water our two-bathroom, 2.5-person, no dishwasher, limited outside lawn watering family actually uses. We do bathe the dog, but not often.

We used 137 cubic metres last year, which is 38 per cent of the Canadian average family of 360 cubic metres. Under option two of Armstrong's proposed system, my total cost would have been $188.37. I just received my property taxes for this year — where my cost is $255.20. I would have saved $66. Nice and it's worth writing this letter for.

Water is one of our most under-appreciated

SKINNY STREETS I challenge the mayor and the councillors to ask 50 people they don't know, what they really think of the new skinny streets, and all the mounds of cement around Vernon.

My personal favourite is the cement mound where you go down 25th Avenue to join 27th Street.

You need a neck that stretches and turns like a blue heron to see down the hill where traffic is coming from Highway 6.

Also, in the winter, it's common even with good studded tires to slide right in front of uphill traffic no matter how slow you are going. Very nice safety feature there.

You should at least put a rubber stop sign there so that it springs back up and saves city crews from having to put it back up all the time, not to mention saving car damage.

Before your big safety improvement at this location, at least you would slide with the traffic and off to the side. There seems to be plenty of room for two lanes and a merge, and no more kinked necks!

You should ask 50 people what they think before and after you implement these ideas. Ask 50 people about the new mound of cement you want to put on 30th Avenue to block off 28th Street from left turns.

I've never seen or heard of trouble or an accident there.

Also, ask about blocking off one of the best avenues to get around downtown, 31st Avenue.

This will also get rid of another 19 of those pesky parking spots.

Thank you Patrick Nicol for suggesting to ask people about what you've already done on 20th Street and Councillor Gilroy: It's not just the people living on 20th Street that think it's crazy not to have parking on at least one side.

resources in Armstrong; our water tastes good, 51 weeks of the year. It's crystal clear, we can safely drink it right out of the tap and it's cheap.

If you want to have a swimming pool, fish WOMEN'S CENTRE I am bothered by what I read in the May 13 newspaper. So much so that I felt compelled to write to you today. It was stated by Kelly Fehr that there is "no gap" in services with the closure of the Vernon Women's Centre. He further stated the Gateway shelter has stepped in to offer laundry and shower services. This implies that this is all that the Women's Centre did. The centre did much more than that.

As stated in prior news reports they also provided food, personal hygiene and beauty products. In addition, the centre also offered self-empowerment workshops, a bad date hotline and a bad date list to keep the street working women informed and safe.

The centre also offered a much needed women's only space where they could confide with their peers in confidence. This is really only the front end work that was being conducted.

There was also community events that have been co-ordinated by the centre, such as Take Back the Night and International Women's Day. For women should feel safe and be celebrated for their accomplishments and uniqueness. Furthermore the centre also worked behind the scenes to fight inequality and for a woman's right to choose. For it is still difficult for women to be paid the same and taken just as serious as men when working in positions of power or in politics. It is still hard for women to even get into these positions.

A recent statistic that I read further proving this point is that women make up 52 per cent of the Canadian population yet only occupy 22 per cent of the seats in the House of Commons.

As a woman, I do think that there will be a gap and to say otherwise is inaccurate and unfair and really undermines all of the hard work that the Vernon Women's Centre did for 30 years.

pond or perpetually green lawn, there might be financial implications for you with the water metre system.

The municipality works hard to assure that everyone starts out with a level playing field.

We all have enough to drink and wash in. As to the rest, those are financial choices that we each make on a daily basis. And I regularly see people watering the road, washing cars at home, washing down sidewalks. Maybe we all will become more aware of protecting the fantastic resources we have, especially if there is money at stake.

I love living in Armstrong and I'm very glad that council is supporting the installation of water meters.

Joanne Feenstra SPORTS COMPLEX I don't see why our politicians are so focused on a sports complex we do not need.

There are other more important issues in Vernon and Coldstream that probably need addressing than borrowing $7-8 million to build a sports park.

I live near the college and has anyone thought of where everyone will park when the school and the sports park are in use at the same time? Varsity Drive and College Way, I am sure, which no one I have talked to on our street wants to see.

These two streets are narrow enough and with parked cars they are worse.

It will be noisier than DND on the July 1 weekend and takes away land from the animals in the area and most of all, we cannot afford such a waste of our tax money.

Put it in the Kin Race Track area of town.

There is more unused land at the race track spot than anywhere and it is out of our residential area.

The mayors of Coldstream and Vernon and their respective councils don't want to raise taxes because it won't sit well with the voters for the next election but now the infrastructure of our two communities gets farther and farther behind so that one day, our taxes will rise by 10 per cent or more to try and catch up.

It seems they don't care about that part of where our taxes go but they can spend millions to build something we do not need and force the taxpayers to shell out the money to pay for it.

My wife and I are pensioners and with gas and food prices going up every day, it is getting harder and harder to make ends meet and we have a lot of pensioners in this area.

We will never vote for something we don't need and cannot afford.

Wake up everyone.

Dog tracks down suspect ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A Vernon RCMP police service dog team helped solve a break-and-enter case at local vet clinic.

RCMP were notified May 3 at around 11 p.m. that an alarm had gone off at the Vernon Veterinary Clinic on Kal Lake Road.

Officers were told by the alarm company that a single motion alarm had gone off on an exit door. Upon arrival at the clinic, police noticed Gord Molendyk broken glass and non-secured door at the rear of the building.

“A police service dog team was dispatched, and the team tracked and located a Vernon man, 26-years-old,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

The man was found by police to be in possession of hydromorphine, a narcotic used for pain relief. It was one of the items taken from the clinic.

Police escorted the suspect to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for medical attention. “He was taken to the hospital because our officers were dealing with an individual suffering from the affects of his drug abuse, and they wanted to make sure he hadn’t consumed any of the drugs,� said Molendyk.

The man was released from hospital and police custody on a promise to appear in court.

Band refuses to break after 25 years Funtastic music festival reels in another flashback to the ‘80s with Glass Tiger KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

They may have sung Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone), but Canadian band Glass Tiger doesn’t exactly live by those words.

The band, which is celebrating the 25th anniversary of that venerable hit this year, has had staying power. Just turn on the radio, and one of their songs is bound to appear. After all, the band had two platinum hits on the Billboard charts (the aforementioned single, and Someday) off their album The Thin Red Line.

And it’s not uncommon for Glass Tiger members to hear their fans from coast-to-coast singing their songs back to them wordfor-word at their live shows, said the band’s keyboardist and cosongwriter Sam Reid.

“We were just commenting about our audience in Winnipeg (where the band just performed) how it was awesome to see people singing along to every one of the songs in the first set,” said Reid.

“Some bands fade –– you still remember them when you hear the songs –– but we’ve managed to still have gold rotations.”

There should be a bit of singing, albeit off-key, when Glass Tiger headlines Vernon’s biggest ball and beer fest, the A&W Funtastic Music Festival.

“We’re very excited to be coming over (to the Okanagan.) It’s one of my favourite places we’ve travelled to,” said Reid who last visited the area when he and Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew played a gig at Kelowna’s Cedar Creek Winery around 10 years ago.

Glass Tiger is also one of the few bands that have lasted over a quarter century, whose original SALES

members are still intact.

Guitarist Al Connelly and bassist Wayne Parker still join Reid and Frew at all their live gigs.

(Drummer Chris MacNeill is the newest recruit, joining Glass Tiger is 2000 after the band’s original drummer left in 1988.)

“We are fortunate to have that original lineup in the band, for it to have stayed intact this long,” said Reid. “Now when we get called to do a show, if someone is not available, we don’t do it. We’re very close that way.

“We now mostly play summer festivals. It’s definitely not as crazy as it was in the ‘80s. All the band members now have personal lives.”

Glass Tiger actually started off with a different name, Tokyo, when the band first formed in their hometown of Newmarket,

“Now when we get called to do a show, if someone is not available, we don’t do it. We’re very close that way.

— Sam Reid Ont. in 1984.

After playing in suburban high schools and the Ontario club circuit, Tokyo found itself before capacity crowds at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens opening for Boy George and Culture Club, and officially became Glass Tiger early the following year when a record deal was signed with Capitol

Records.

They hit gold literally with their first album, The Thin Red Line, which set a record for being the fastest selling debut recording in Canadian history, going gold within weeks of its release, and eventually receiving four platinum records in Canada and gold status in the U.S. The two resulting singles (Don’t Forget Me and Someday) also made Canadian history when Glass Tiger won successive Juno Awards for single of the year from the same album in 1986 and ‘87.

And the hits kept coming from subsequent albums, Diamond Sun and Simple Mission.

The former featured four charting singles: Diamond Sun, I’m Still Searching, My Song, and (Watching) Worlds Crumble, achieving double platinum status;

while Simple Mission went platinum, with Animal Heart, and the duet, My Town, which featured Scottish-born Frew singing with one of his famed countrymen, Rod Stewart.

After 30 years in the music business, Reid has found himself more in the producer’s chair overseeing up-and-coming acts at his own music studio in Newmarket.

With Frew and Connelly still living nearby (Parker lives in Stratford), Glass Tiger has also been recording a few tracks of their own on occasion.

They released a greatest hits package, No Turning Back, in 2005 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, and Reid says more should be on the way.

“We’ve been chipping away at new things. We would like to put out some new tracks out on radio, and we are playing them in our live shows,” he said adding, “Alan and I cross paths quite often and are still co-writing songs for other people.”

And after playing those familiar songs for 25 years, it’s rare to see these guys rehearsing.

“The band really tightens up when we’re on the road,” said Reid.

“We don’t rehearse unless we’re making a change to our set list. It’s like riding a bike.”

Funtastic revellers can catch up with the band when they take the A&W stage at the Vernon Army Camp June 30 at 10:45 p.m.

Opening acts include The Price of Fish, Mace, The Goods and The Young ‘uns. The festival continues throughout the weekend, with other headlining acts Great White and Blaze of Glory.

Tickets are on sale now at the Vernon A&W locations in Fruit Union Plaza and Anderson Way. Passes are also available at the A&W in Armstrong. Early bird day passes are $15 each for Thursday, and $25 for Friday and Saturday.

A three-day pass is $40 until June 19. Passes go up in price after June 20.

of how the kids can accomplish anything if they put the time into it. They see the improvement week to week with practising and learning new pieces.�

If the children struggle with something in school or sports, Brown reminds them of what they’ve accomplished in music through practise.

Reading sheet music and understanding musical rhythms gives them important life skills, like helping them with addition and fractions, she said.

A busy physician with two younger children as well, Brown has sometimes had to bow out of taking her children to lessons, so big sister Clara has taken on the role, helping Nate find his music and

encouraging him when he thinks something is too hard.

The family enjoys much togetherness, skiing, hiking and music.

Younger sister, Camille, watches and “plays� along using Clara’s tuning stick as a flute. Clara and Nate love to perform at home for relatives and guests.

Their next opportunity to perform comes in two concerts featuring Muhlert’s students.

The first, Caetani Garden Capers, is on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the courtyard of Caetani Cultural Centre.

The second concert is at Gallery Vertigo, June 18 at 2 p.m.

Both concerts are by donation. More information is available by calling Muhlert at 250542-3228.

When the Hardys enrolled their young children in music lessons, they decided to learn right along with them.

Cathy Brown and Clara Hardy, mother and daughter, chose flute. Brown says she wanted to learn so she’d know enough to help Clara practise because she was so young.

At only six, she was the youngest student ever tutored by local instructor Devon Muhlert.

Two years later, brother Nate Hardy got that honour when he followed with guitar at five. His father, Paul Hardy, is learning with him.

Neither parent had much musical background, though Paul did play in his school band. Both wanted their kids to learn. “I think it is good for the kids to see adults go through the process of learning something new,� said Brown about why she and her husband decided to take lessons. “Learning an instrument is a great example

Vernon Film Society

The last showing of the spring season for the Vernon Film Society is Monday at the Towne Theatre.

Filmgoers who attended the film society’s last movie, Of Gods and Men, and who continue to discuss that movie will be interested in In a Better World as it has similar themes.

This Academy Award winner for best foreign film tells the story of two Danish families brought together as a result of the newly formed friendship between their sons, 10 year old boys who are coping with their own problems of grief and being bullied.

Susanne Bier, the director, co-wrote the screenplay with Anders Thomas Jenson, who also wrote another film society favourite, After the Wedding.

The story telling seems effortless and some of the images are gorgeous.

The main story concerns friendship, and the boys reaction to bullying. A parallel story outlines one of the boys’ father’s medical work in Africa and

Ulrich Thomsen and William Jøhnk Nielsen star as a father and son in Denmark’s Oscar winning film In a Better World. his dealing with African warlords and the ensuing violence Once again, there is a moral dilemma: should one always help people in need and is revenge a proper course of action?

Moviegoers are going to be coming out of this film questioning why are we not living in harmony when we have all the advancements of a technical age?

Whether we are young and starting to make our way into a wider world, or involved in humanitarian work and seeing the results of

ongoing violence, will it ever be possible to change the actions of those around us?

In a Better World will be shown at the Towne Theatre Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.

Tickets are available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene coffee house for $7.

The Vernon Film Society summer schedule of three movies in July and August is now available at the Bean Scene, Vernon library and the Vernon Public Art Gallery, as well as at the Towne Theatre.

Gallery ambassador plans ‘riot’ Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is gearing up for its second big bash of the summer with the addition of its new youth ambassador.

Kristin Burns will be working on the gallery’s third annual Riot on the Roof, which takes place after the VPAG’s main fundraiser, the 25th annual M i d s u m m e r ’s Eve of the Arts.

Kristin Burns “She brings with her a variety of skills and talents that I’m sure will have a positive impact on our annual Riot on the Roof event this year,” said the VPAG’s executive director Dauna Grant.

Burns is entering the interdisciplinary master of fine arts program at the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) campus this fall, having obtained her bachelor of fine arts at the school.

She is also a studio artist and is the president of the North Okanagan Artists Alternative.

The youth ambassador position focuses on engaging the 16-to-25 age demographic through a variety of

activities and events as well as assisting with general gallery operational duties.

Burns will be re-inventing the VPAG’s annual summer wrap-up event Riot on the Roof. The free for all ages alternative art and music event will take place Aug. 27 on the roof of the Parkade, located above the art gallery on 31st Street.

Burns intends to make this year’s party bigger and better.

So far the event boasts two performance stages, where an array of local musicians will show off their talent, she said.

A unique range of alternative, interactive and installation art, as well as an open mic for poetry slams and spoken word will also entertain event-goers.

“This is only the third year that the Vernon Public Art Gallery has hosted Riot on the Roof, however, the enthusiasm and ideas being generated are already amazing. I’m excited to work with the youth of the community.

It’s going to be a great summer,” said Burns.

For more information, or to get involved with Riot on the Roof, contact Burns at 250-545-3173 or email ambassador@vernonpublicartgallery. com.

A toast to human rights CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

As Amnesty International marks its 50th anniversary this year, longtime member Nadine Poznanski is pleased with what has been accomplished but sees there is still so much to be done.

In 1961, a British lawyer was incensed to read about two Portuguese men who had been jailed for raising their glasses in a toast to freedom. He wondered what ordinary people could do help this injustice and wrote an article which was published in the London Observer and reprinted around the world. Encouraged by the letters and money that poured in, he started what was intended to last one year. It got the Portuguese freed and the group, now named Amnesty International, focused on helping other prisoners of conscience.

Over the years, many prisoners have been released and the conditions of others improved. Amnesty International, based in London, has a team of researchers who find out the information about the prisoners, and works only on behalf of prisoners whose human rights have been violated, never those who have been involved in violent activities or advocated violence.

Former staff member J.K. Rowling talked about her Amnesty experiences in a commencement address at Harvard University in 2008. “[It was] One of the greatest formative experiences of my life....The power of human empathy, leading to collective action, saves lives, and frees prisoners. My small participation in that process was one of the most humbling and inspiring experiences of my life,” she said.

Poznanski’s first experience with injustice came when she was a teenager in German-occupied Belgium and saw a friend who was a conscientious objector jailed while his wife and several young children were left helpless.

She married Wojciech Poznanski, a medical student who was a member of the Polish Army and was a prisoner of war for five years. They came to Canada in 1951 where he practised medicine and she was a medical researcher. When they retired in 1982, they moved to Hazelton in Northern B.C. to do medical missions work. There they founded a chapter of Amnesty International which is still active.

In 1985, they came to Vernon and started another Amnesty International chapter. Poznanski is the field worker for the Okanagan.

CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR

Nadine Poznanski reads the Amnesty International magazine. Amnesty marks its 50th anniversary of upholding human rights this year with a presentation June 15 at Schubert Centre.

Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations in 1948. We use the freedom we have to help people who are being abused.

We work on two levels. The grassroots level writes letters and the upper level works at international government level,” said Poznanski. “The reward is to know that I may have helped someone. Sometimes we do have a personal connection. We just got a thank-you letter from someone in Russia we had written letters for. He knew we had been instrumental in his release.”

Amnesty International has three million members around the world and 70,000 members in Canada. The chairman of the Vernon chapter is Cindy Bouthellier and there are about 20 active members with a total of 200 members in the area.

“It’s good to be part of a group because we encourage each other. It is not easy to learn about the worst human rights abuse.

I heard someone say that she did not want to read about it, that it is too much and someone else replied to her, that it’s just because it is too much that we have to do something about it,” said Poznanski.

“We are grateful that so many prisoners have been released and so many lives made better thanks to Amnesty. The work is not finished, unfortunately. We need as many people as possible to join us.”

Amnesty International partners with other groups as necessary. A new area of concern is the rights of women, particularly those in Nicaragua who are being raped at high rates, and maternal/newborn health around the world.

There will be an open house at the Schubert Centre June 15 at 7 p.m. with information and a chance to have a toast to freedom.

For more information see www. amnestyvernon.ca.

The origins of plants he mountain ash trees have had more blossoms than I have noticed for the past few years. I have no idea why they produced so many blooms; is it just a cycle that is common in nature?

AAA CARPET CARE

There are many plants we make use of every day and we never give a thought to where that plant was found originally.

Oranges were found originally in China.

Tobacco was first found in South America.

Olives were from the Mediterranean. One of the plants we use almost every day is the common onion, yet nobody has any knowledge as to where the onion was first found.

When we munch on chocolate, do we care where the plant grew originally? It was in

the Andes. The Spanish were the ones who found the many uses of the cocoa plant.

But the plant that has the greatest impact on human existence is rice. Millions of people have survived on a diet built on rice.

As the world population increases, we should be very careful to preserve any land that produces food.

Okanagan Gardens and Roses meets June 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. Visitors are always welcome.

You are likely to find that your social life will be far more active in the year ahead than it has been for some time. An old friend might reenter your life and bring with them a number of new people who’ll prove to be quite interesting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) For some strange reason, you could let challenging developments intimidate you unnecessarily.

Fortunately, it won’t take long for you to realize you’re the master of events.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Just when things look the darkest where your career is concerned, you may discover the key to success.

Be alert, however, because it could be disguised or camouflaged.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t hesitate to bring someone in on an endeavor you haven’t been able to totally develop on your own, especially if you believe this person has knowledge you lack.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t take lightly an offer a friend makes to you. It might be just the ticket you need gain access to people who could be of tremendous help to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) An infusion of fresh hope could turn around an unpleasant financial matter that has caused you some anxiety lately. It’s likely to come about through an unexpected conduit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A situation you thought was nothing but trouble might be the very thing that brings you success.

If you let it, it could yield more extensive benefits than you thought possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Conditions are favorable for cementing bonds with someone you recently met who gave the impression that they didn’t think much of you. She or he is likely to be the very one who initiates the first move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Chance is likely to play a critical role in fulfilling a material desire that you’ve been nurturing for some time, and that you didn’t think you could achieve.

Be on your toes.

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.

Ve r n o n - N o r t h Okanagan RCMP have a special run planned Friday.

A number of officers will take part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run locally, an event that helps raise funds for Special Olympics in B.C. The event, which is also open to the public, is slated to start at 5 p.m. at Coldstream Elementary School. “A number of our officers have registered for the run, and people can also register at the run,� said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

A barbecue will be held at the school after the event, along with a possible impromptu soccer game.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run has raised nearly $3 million in B.C. since 1990, and each year brings in about $30 million worldwide, all in support of Special Olympics.

The British Columbia Law Enforcement Torch Run is among the most successful and creative branches of the global campaign. It is the largest fundraising event for Special Olympics B.C., and is run in partnership with law enforcement personnel from multiple agencies across the province.

Annual Lumby Days ready to rev up the village JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

One of the biggest little fairs around has rounded up a full weekend of fun in Lumby.

The village explodes with action Friday through Sunday as the 56th annual Lumby Days takes over town. “It still has that small-town, old fashioned flair,� said Merna Alexander, Lumby Days chairperson, of the event that draws thousands throughout the weekend. “We’re proud of our little fair.�

The event has something for everyone, from air races throughout the weekend to wheelbarrow decorating and thrills for all ages on the Shooting Star Amusement Midway.

Lumby’s own Redneck Daisies Roller Derby team rolls out the official start to Lumby Days with a game at the Pat Duke Arena Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

And Lumby hasn’t forgotten about all the Canuck fans. “We don’t want anyone staying home to watch the game,� said Alexander, who has arranged for a big

screen TV to be brought in for game five of the Stanley Cup final against Boston.

With this year’s theme, Our Forests at Work and Play, the West Coast Lumberjack Show has suitingly been added to the roster of events in the park oval.

The lumberjacks will race to out-climb, out-saw, out-chop and out-throw each other Saturday at 2:30, 4 and 5:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 and 4 p.m.

Then you don’t have to look far to catch some extreme freestyle motocross riders in action.

Reagan Sieg and his crew hit the ramp Saturday at 1:30, 3:15 and 4:45 p.m., and Sunday at 12:30, 2 and 3:30 p.m. (weather permitting). “Those two shows are side-by-side so if it works they’ll be surprising our spectators,� said Alexander. “They’re all dare devils.�

Before packing the park for all the action Saturday, make sure you come early to get a spot on the sidewalk for the parade at noon. “There’s up to 5,000 people watching the parade,� said Alexander,

of the family-fun attraction which starts at the industrial park east of Lumby on Highway 6, heads down Shuswap Avenue, right on Maple Street and wraps up on Shields Avenue. “It appears to be the highlight and it just keeps growing. It’s a fun

little parade.�

If motors turn your crank, oval park will also be filled with all sorts of classic and contemporary cars. “Every year it gets bigger and bigger,� said Alexander of the show and shine that draws anywhere from 75 to

100 entrants.

And it wouldn’t be Lumby Days without the popular, and hilarious, lawn tractor races – which go Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. “Those guys are crazy too, they rip around there and have a lot of fun,� said Alexander.

There’s also Bingo, a 4H Guess the Beef Weight, pig roast put on by the Wildlife Club, beverage gardens, model railroad display, trades booths, arts and crafts, Monashee Art Council Show and live entertainment all day.

Admission to Lumby

Days is free, but the purchase of Lumby Days pins ($2) is encouraged. Pins will be sold throughout the weekend at the Curling Club and by the Redneck Daisies.

The Vernon Re/Max Tigers snapped a five-game winless streak with a 12-4 shellacking of the South Okanagan Flames in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Saturday night at Wesbild Centre.

Ahead 3-1 after 20 minutes, the Tigers (4-4-1) exploded for seven goals in the second period to take a commanding lead.

Nolan Frame paced the Tiger assault with a monster eightpoint night (3+5), giving Vernon a much-needed boost on offence.

Saturday night’s offensive output Nolan Frame matched the Tigers’ three previous games combined.

Also chipping in offensively were Mitch Steele, with 2+2, Braden Barr and Riley Soleway, with two goals each, and Jordan Orr, Craig Bigsby and Jay Seaton, each with 1+2.

Derek Grimm was the Flames’ top threat with two goals.

“We were pleased with the win as South OK wanted the win just as badly as we did. The win keeps us in contention to land in the top-two if we carry our weekend work ethic forward,” said head coach Myles Brumpton, who noted his team’s discipline in taking just four penalty minutes.

“As a collective group we worked hard during the week to close the holes in our game which we felt were the contributing factors for our four-game slide. Our defence is now executing as a group (as opposed to) trying to win the individual battles, and they are now beginning to reap the benefits of this transformation.”

Vernon hosts the Kamloops Venom (4-5-1) Saturday at Wesbild.

Meanwhile, the Armstrong Shamrocks shaded the host Kamloops Rattlers 7-6 Sunday night at McArthur Island Sports Centre.

In a chippy game that saw several momentum swings, the baby Rocks opened the scoring on the powerplay when Owen Barker ripped a shot into the top left corner. Cullen Rowan, who ended the night with a Gordie Howe hat trick, made it 2-0 when he cut behind the defence on a bad Kamloops line change and buried a low bounce shot.

An apparent lighting issue in the arena resulted in a darkened defensive end for the second-place Rocks (6-3-2), allowing the last-place Rattlers (2-8) to equalize with two goals in the dark on Cole MacFarlane (35 saves). Milan Marcetta ripped a shot from the slot to make it 3-2 after the first period.

In the afternoon tilt, the Legends got two goals from Swiscoski and singles from Jake Pelletier, Webb, Luttmerding and Hunter. Martin pocketed a pair of helpers.

“The Legends have played a variety of lacrosse teams this year and Penticton was definitely one that played a hard and rough style,” said Legends’ coach Harold Mann.

“We were extremely happy with the way the kids conducted themselves and showed an immense amount of emotional control during the games.”

In Pee Wee B1 action, the unbeaten Gilbert Parts/Armstrong Co-Op Legends stopped Shuswap 9-4 at Hassen Memorial Arena.

Tyson Reschke, Colton Greeno and Cam Lock each scored twice for the Legends, while Sean Howard, Zach Benn and Mason McLennan contributed singles. James Francis had two helpers in support of Novice call-up goalie Troy Cuzzetto.

“Exceeding

Expectations”

2 FOR 1 GOLF COUPON STAY & PLAY

Sarah Bailey closed out her high school track career with a gold-medal performance in the 800-metre event at the B.C. Championships Saturday at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.

The Fulton grad, who will join the NCAA Division 1 Jacksonville Dolphins next season, clocked a personal best two minutes, 14.70 seconds to become the first Vernon athlete to win provincial gold in this event in the meet’s 45-year history.

“I led the whole race and the last 50-metre stretch I started to feel my legs get tired, but I was determined not to die on the final stretch,” said Bailey, who is now qualified to race at nationals, July 8-10 in Winnipeg.

“I knew in the race that I had to take it out fast because I didn’t want it to come down to a kicker’s race at the end, so I did for the first lap and by the end just took it in strong and no one had the kick to try and surge by me.”

Bailey, ranked No. 1 heading into the event, won her qualifying heat Friday with a 2:17.41.

“I ran that (qualifying) smart, not going too fast but still coming out with the fastest final in the semis,” she said.

Bailey, who also competes in the 1,500-m distance, chose to focus on one event.

“It felt awesome to end my high school season with a win and am very happy with my decision just to race the 800m,” she said.

In Grade 8 and 9 B.C. championship action in Burnaby, Tyra Gilbert of the Pleasant Valley Saints rated sixth overall in the 80-m hurdles after winning her qualifying heat.

Vernon Christian Royal student Alexandra Michalewicz placed 10th in shot put (7.99 m), and A.L. Fortune Falcons’ Kassy Harder struck silver in the discus (25.94 m).

In senior action, Pleasant Valley’s Ella Brown took 12th in the 200-m with 26.56, and ninth in the triple jump with 10.42 m.

VSS Panther Tessni Carruthers pocketed 11th in the 1,500-m (4:54.88), and 12th in the 3,000-m (10:49.89).

Continued from A26

Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna duo of Linda Palahniuk and Melanie Grant carded a 2-over 76 to win the 23rd annual Baron Insurance Ladies Open Saturday at the Vernon Golf & Country Club.

There was a field of 82 players in the two-ball tournament, including teams from Victoria, Vancouver, Kamloops and throughout the Okanagan.

Hole-in-one prizes of a new car from Sunshine Honda and $10,000 cash from AXA Pacific Insurance went unclaimed.

The low net winners were Vernon’s Linda Irwin and Wendy Robinson, at 65.

Both the low gross and low net champons received valuable coin sets.

Debbie Cross and Paula Thorburn took second low gross at 78, followed by Vernon’s Maureen Turner and Annette McIntyre at 79 (retrogression) and Gwen Redfer and Valerie Eibner. Ans Kirwin and Wilma DeJong were fifth at 81.

Maria Smith and Rae Jensen took second low net at 66 (retro) with Nancy Kurbis and Jayne Hackman of Vernon third at 66.

Joanne Keis and Trudy Walker were fourth

Deuces were registered by Fairburn, Walker, Sandi Harder, Suzanne Hocevar, Lynn Webster, Theresa Kwas, Jackie Jones and Fran Fowler.

KPs went to Walker, Cathy Zimmer and Kirwin.

Meanwhile, Rob Anderson of Kelowna won the fourth stop on the Callaway IPGA Tour at Kelowna Golf and Country Club on Monday.

The host pro fired a fantastic round of 7-under 65 to win by five strokes, earning $550 and moving into first place on the Order of Merit with 111 points.

Brad Kennell (Shadow Ridge) and Clay Stothers shared second place with 70s, while Myles Johnson (Spallumcheen) and Dale Machesney of Salmon Arm tied for fourth at 71.

Next event is Monday with the annual Callaway Pro-Am Shoot Out at Black Mountain in Kelowna.

The Rattlers scored an early powerplay goal to tie the game in the second period, but the Rocks answered quickly when Dylan Bilanchuk grabbed a rebound off the boards and picked the top right corner for his first of the year.

Kamloops added two late goals to take a 5-4 lead into the intermission.

Armstrong’s Drew Hassard cut in from the right side and split the defence to pull his team even in the third, and Brett Hawrys, on the powerplay, ripped a low point shot to put the Shamrocks in front.

Tied again with three minutes remaining, Hawrys, a natural left-handed player, switched to his right to record the winner, breakin in from the right side.

The Rattlers took an undisciplined penalty with less than two minutes to play and the Shamrocks ran out the clock for the win.

“We played with Shamrock pride in the third tonight and won. That was a big road win for us,” said Armstrong head coach Pat Nelson.

“We totally out-chanced them and seemed to hit posts and miss on breakaways tonight, but we dug deep and pulled out the win.”

The Rocks visit the South Okanagan Flames Saturday night in Penticton.

Du Plessis dynamite in debut Morning Star Staff

Penticton Harlequins Steve Catalano (top) and Ben Gorrod double-team Vernon Jackals’ Bryan Bateman in Okanagan Rugby Union play Saturday at Kings Park in Penticton.

Bateman, Jarrod Stinn, Garth Cook, Devon Hospice and Evan Wylie.

Captain Rob Miles was quick to praise the 5-foot-10 winger Du Plessis for his quick play and cunning footwork.

“The injury bug hit us in the last game, and it looked like we were going to be short on backs, and then this great back from UVic shows up out of nowhere and asks if it’s too late to join the team,” said Miles. “We were very lucky to see a guy of his calibre come and join the team.”

The Harlequins struck first, overpowering the Jackals before a few motivational words from coach Garth Cook inspired the Jackals to march the ball down the field for try.

Stinn scored a great try from six yards out, while Bateman, Hospice and Cranton capped off the first-half scoring in the first half.

Kiwi Dan opened up the second-half scoring with a big powerful run and shortly after, Morad punched one in.

“Penticton stayed in there the whole game, never backing down,” said Bateman. “They showed a lot of character. They’re a rebuilding team with a lot of young guys so its good to see they didn’t just stop.

The Harlequins scored three quick tries in the late going before Wylie, Cook and Du Plessis recorded tries.

The same two teams meet Saturday, June 18 (1 p.m.) at Grahame Park for the Valley title. The winner advances to the provincial championships in September.

Coach Erick Burnet, fresh off his Holland holiday, also had inspiring things to say at the half.

Fellow Dutchman Mees Geelkerken responded with a gorgeous solo effort three minutes in, and 11 minutes later, Vernon got to within one as Josh Hyer finished off a goal-mouth scramble.

Kelowna responded quickly and again were up by two. Geelkerken clicked again after being sent in by Quibell.

The Vernon United swept Kamloops teams to clinch first place in the Thompson Okanagan Under 14 Boys Rep Soccer League last weekend.

With Gerry Strand subbing for absent head coach Mike Melbourne, United grounded the host Kamloops Blaze Orange 5-1 Saturday afternoon at McArthur Island Sports Centre.

Lucas Ross opened the scoring at four minutes on a 15-yard bullet.

Michael Williamson, from Ryan Killingsworth, converted 15 minutes later, but Kamloops responded just before half time.

Matthew Kreutz restored the two-goal lead just two minutes into the second half on a great header from a well-placed corner

by Ross. United kept pressing and they were rewarded with another marker from Ross 20 minutes into the half. Cameron Hitch and Kody Glinsbockel provided the assists.

Shayne Groeneveld, with his first of the year, rounded out the scoring on a goalmouth scramble after a Killingsworth corner. Cole Shoemaker was solid in net.

On Sunday afternoon, with David Broadhurst running the bench, the United boys brushed back the Kamloops Blaze Blue 7-1 at Marshall Field.

Hitch clicked in the 13th minute on a great feed from Groeneveld. Williamson, from Zac Kronbauer and Kreutz, potted a header just five minutes later to double the lead.

Vernon continued the onslaught with Kronbauer adding two goals before the break. Kreutz made it 5-0 early in the second half on a great passing play involving Brandon Melbourne, Isaiah Wenger, Hitch and Killingsworth.

The young Blaze team never gave up and eventually got one past Shoemaker.

Kronbauer responded just eight minutes later with his third of the game.

Ross converted on a long throw-in from Kreutz to close the offence just before the final whistle.

Cole Woodliffe, Jason Reich, Bryce Dyck and Chase Larsen all played well on defence. Liam Ross had strong games up front. United is 8-0-1 in league and a eyepopping 14-1-2 overall.

Kowalski, Shaigec lead Lions The Silver Star Mountain Lions #1 built up a 4-0 lead and held on to beat host Kelowna United #1 5-3 Sunday in U12 Boys Rep Development action.

Matthew Kowalski opened the offence in the third minute after receiving a perfect pass from Jason Shaigec. Malcolm Wiens doubled the lead just three minutes later after some pretty passing between Sam Eggert and Reed Cashato.

Kevin Thibault made it 3-0 with great individual determination to bury a rebound off a Kowalski shot. Connor London added a fourth with a booming shot from midfield and the game was only 15 minutes old.

In the second half, Vernon quickly added a fifth with Shaigec again supplying the forward with quality service and this time it was Kenzel Aarts-Roman extending the lead.

In their second match of the day, against Kelowna #2 a hotly-contested match ended 3-3.

Kowalski converted a clinical cross off a Wiens corner at five minutes. Two minutes later, Kelowna equalized off an unfortunate own goal.

At the midway point of the half, Kelowna went ahead 2-1 and the Vernon boys were starting to feel the heat of the day. In the 39th minute, Ondrik dribbled past a couple of Kelowna defenders and fed Liam Henning, who laid off the ball to London, who buried the shot.

Seven minutes later, luck would finally go Vernon’s way as a clearing attempt by the Kelowna keeper ricocheted off Wiens’ head and wound up in the back of the Kelowna net. For the remaining 15 minutes, Vernon was under siege and gave up a tying goal.

The Silver Star Mountain Lions #2 bowed 7-4 to Kelowna #2.

U11s falter in Revelstoke heat In U11 Rep Boys Development play Sunday at scorching Centennial Park in Revelstoke, Vernon United teams went winless in four games.

Roy Cooper’s United #1 fell 3-2 to Kamloops Orange before losing 4-0 to powerful Kelowna United #1.

Braeden Cooper, on assists by Owen Miller and Ben Purvis, counted United’s first goal versus Kamloops. Miller trapped the Blaze goal kick and passed to Purvis, who in turn fed Cooper for a shot in the bottom left corner.

Miller supplied the second United goal on a pass by Purvis.

“All the boys turned in a solid effort in back-to-back games on our first really hot Sunday of soccer,” said coach Cooper.

United #2, coached by Kevin Mitchell, lost 6-4 to Penticton United #1 and then bowed 4-2 to Kelowna United #2.

Vernon went up 2-0 early on Penticton when Perez Vermeulen scored on a superb feed by Alex Oguunbiyi, and Finn Plummer sped down the right side and unleashed a 20-yard corker top shelf.

Oguunbiyi pocketed United’s third goal with assists going to Joe Eggert and Vermeulen, who closed the Vernon offence, from Oguunbiyi. Keeper Dylan Huber earned Player of the Match with several clutch stops.

Against Kelowna, Vermeulen headed in a feed by Oguunbiyi, who finished United’s scoring in the dying seconds after some stellar balls by Josh Melbourne and Kody Kongsdorf.

Keeper Nick Mitchell recorded numerous big stops and shared Game MVP with hustling defender Braydie Allan, who ran miles and used slide tackles and nifty turns to help his team maintain possession.

Silver Stars draw Pub crew to keep streak alive Morning Star Staff

The Silver Stars stretched their undefeated streak to eight games by settling for a 1-1 draw with Brandt’s Creek Pub in Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at Marshall Field #3.

The Pub crew (1-5-2) opened the scoring in the third minute on the pot-hole filled pitch after an odd bounce and a sharpangled shot slipped through Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins’ fingers.

The Stars (5-0-3) equalized at 10 minutes when the ball bounced over a charging Brandt’s keeper and was run in easily by Kevin Cowley.

The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels grounded Kelowna Cantina’s 3-0 at Mission 71 Sports Field.

The 6-1-1 Camels, despite having only 10 men, jumped out to a three-goal lead in the

first half with Al Murphy converting an Al Betton cross at five minutes.

Mike Daly, a Bruins fan who earned the Dairy Queen Man of the Match for his nifty turns and hard-driving play, took a feed from Parkin and made it 2-0 a few minutes later.

Rick Raber took a through ball from Parkin and ran 30 yards down the right side before burying a low shot from a tough angle. Raber was later given a red card after an off-the-ball altercation with defender Kit Kipnis.

Stu Whitling, who flew to Boston for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals Wednesday, and Ken Kranenborg also sparkled on the Camels’ back line.

Dave Wharton scored his first goal of the season on his 64th birthday for 0-7-1 Cantina’s. Wharton cashed in the rebound when Camels’ keeper Dave Dutcher tipped Ray Heathcote’s dipping free kick on to the

bar. Greg Wallace had a strong game in the centre of the Cantinas defence.

The league-leading Kelowna IGA (8-0) got three goals from Darryl Hazell and two each from Phil Andrews and Randy Bartnick in a 12-0 ambushing of Vernon Big O Tire (3-5) at Kettle Valley Park.

The Kelowna Rented Mules broke a sevengame winless streak by upending Okanagan Spring Brewery 4-1 at Marshall Field #2.

Striker Roger Irving set up Chris Neilson for a late Spring (3-5) goal.

North Country Appraisals Kickers blanked Salmon Arm 3-0 on goals by Wil Kruiper, Fritz Berenyi and Sergio Sartori, while Penticton stopped Lake Country FC 3-0 at Beasley Park.

In 35+ action, first-place Peoples Insulation brushed back Vernon Square Liquor Store Celtics 5-2 at Marshall Field #4.

Peoples Insulation scored first within 10 seconds. Vernon, missing five key players to injury, battled back and Roland Riedstra beat two opponents before being brought down by the keeper. Bryan Schenker converted the ensuing penalty.

Peoples Insulation took the lead again 25 minutes into the first half, but Geoff Straight equalized for the Celtics after a sublime giveand-go with Ian Chernenkoff.

The second half started similar to the first as Peoples scored within 20 seconds and then scored twice on late breakaways.

Mike Moorlag played his first game in goal this year and kept the Celtics in the game with spectacular saves early in the second half.

Volker Otto also had a strong performance for the Celtics, winning numerous balls while playing four different positions. The Celtics dipped to 4-1-2.

Fulton Maroons found the going tough in a 36-22 loss to the Hugh McRoberts Strikers of Richmond in the seventh-place game at the B.C. Senior AA Rugby Union Championships Saturday at Rotary Field in Abbotsford.

The Maroons, who entered the 16-team tourney ranked fifth, couldn’t seem to stop the overlaps of the Strikers, who kept outnumbering them in the backs.

“They (Strikers) had lost to third-place Rockridge (Ravens of West Vancouver), a

powerhouse rugby school, 6-3 in the dying moments of their previous game. I had watched them in another match and knew the speed that they had in the backs would be hard for us to defend,” said Fulton head coach Rick Smith.

Dalton Anderson handled the brunt of the Maroon offence and was selected to the President’s 15. Smith said he was solid throughout the entire season.

“In the two years that Dalton has been a senior, he has missed only one practice.

He has never been injured either. Dalton’s

a solid big guy who loves the game. He has great ball skills, both with the hands and the foot and has the desire to learn and rise to the competition.”

Meanwhile, the No. 9 Kalamalka Lakers fell 13-7 to the No. 10 Charles Tupper Tigers of Vancouver in the ninth-place game Saturday.

The two teams have met at every provincial playdown for the last four years.

The Lakers thanked sponsors Kal Tire, Nixon Wenger, Boston Pizza, Subway and Tim Hortons for their support.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Doug Larson, a newspaper columnist, said, “What some people mistake for the high cost of living is really the cost of high living.”

That is true, but the cost of living continues to go higher -- and, of course, so does the cost of high living.

In bridge, you might play low or high (or occasionally a middle card). In this deal, how can West defeat three notrump after leading the club jack?

North’s three-club rebid, often called New Minor Forcing, asked South if he had three-card spade support.

South starts with eight top tricks: one spade,

one heart, five diamonds and one club. The first opportunity for a ninth winner fails immediately when East covers dummy’s club queen with his king.

Declarer holds up his ace until the third round, then leads his spade two.

If West is a member of the second-hand-low club, he would play his five, and South would finesse.

East would win the trick and shift to a heart, but declarer could win with his ace, run his diamonds, and take a second spade finesse to end with an overtrick.

Let’s go back to trick four. West must play his spade king, not the five.

What can South do?

If he plays low from

the board, West runs his clubs. And if declarer wins with dummy’s ace, East takes the next spade and switches to a heart. Either way, the contract fails.

When you see a suit like those spades, play second hand high with the queen or king.

Hillma Ellenora Lundman passed peacefully into the Lord’s presence on Friday morning, June 3rd at Heritage Square. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. Hillma was born at home in Hilltop, Man. in 1918, and was the middle child of 5 children. AŌer growing up there she moved to Flin Flon, Man. where she married her sweetheart Arthur Lundman in 1940. They lived there Ɵll 1945 when they took the adventurous move to Enderby, B.C. with their Įrst two children Irwin & Alvina. Their third child Birk was born there. Art was a carpenter so he built homes and they began a building supply company and hardware, Enderby Lumber Co. Ltd. and Lundman’s Hardware which they ran Ɵll selling in 1975. Hillma loved her family and was always so interested in knowing their happenings all through the years Ɵll her passing. She was very acƟve in her church which conƟnued to be a real encouragement to her, since Art’s passing in 1980. Mum loved her Ňower garden and was always so grateful for those who would help her keep it up, as she struggled with arthriƟs for many years. She enjoyed spending Ɵme at their cabin by the lake, taking bus tours, and travelling to visit family, always loving to see and learn new things. Mum loved kniƫng, reading and listened to 100’s of books on tape aŌer her eyesight failed. She was a very determined and posiƟve lady having gone through many health issues and never did we hear any complaining. Hillma moved to Heritage Square in Vernon in Dec. 2004 where she was very happy and content Ɵll her passing.

Hillma was predeceased by her parents, two sisters and a brother. She will be greatly missed by her children Irwin (ErnesƟne) Lundman of Spruce Grove, AB., Alvina (George) Halvorson of Vernon, and Birk (Cheryl) of Enderby, eight Grandchildren, and seventeen great grandchildren (with one more due any day), brother John (Lyn) Korberg of Vernon, and many extended family members and dear friends. Hillma’s family would like to express their graƟtude to Dr. Lemiski, and to the staī at Heritage Square for the gentle and wonderful care given Mum during her 6+ years there.

Beryl was born in London, England in 1915, the only daughter of William Osmond, O.B.E. and Lily Davis.

After ¿nishing school, she joined the secretarial ranks at Phoenix Assurance Company and worked all through War II’s infamous “blitz”, sometimes not reaching her desk until 11 a.m. or later, thanks to the chaos created by the previous night’s bombing. Although she was always a quiet and private person, she made such an impact on her fellow Phoenix employees that even though she outlived most of them, their families lovingly stayed in touch with her.

She was predeceased by her parents and two brothers.

In the early 1960s, Beryl decided to visit her Canadian cousin, Claire Cooper, the nurse/librarian at the Vernon Hospital. Beryl fell so deeply in love with our country, she decided to immigrate and become a Canadian citizen. Wanting to contribute to her new home, she accepted a job with School District #22. From 1965 to 1975, she was the extremely competent administrative secretary to Jim Green, the Board’s secretary treasurer.

On her retirement from SD 22, she was made a Life Member of “The Order of the Girls of the Bored”, with 44 signatures bearing witness to her popularity.

Shortly after settling in Vernon, her love of music led her to join her cousin in the choir at All Saints’ Anglican Church. For almost the next 50 years, she offered her voice, her faithfulness and her generosity – and now she will always be a part of the church. Beryl chose to be cremated and her ashes will be in All Saints columbarium in perpetuity.

When her cousin died in the early 1990’s, Beryl thought it was time “go home” - to England. In less than six months, she realized her adopted country had become her true home instead and she moved back to Vernon.

Canadian crossword puzzles couldn’t make the grade, though, and she continued to have the English version mailed to her on a regular basis.

They undoubtedly helped her become the Scrabble whiz she was.

A celebration of Beryl’s life will be held at All Saints Church, 3205 – 27 Street (entrance off 26th Street) at 2 p.m., Friday, June 10, the Reverends Harwood-Jones and Harrison of¿ciating. Afternoon tea will follow in the church hall.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful father, Art Hoberg on May 31, 2011. AŌer a long and disabling illness, Art died peacefully with family and close friends at his bedside.

Art was born December 16, 1941 in FawceƩ, Alberta to Loren and Helen Hoberg. Along with his ten brothers and sisters, Art was raised on farms in Northern Alberta, and held fond memories of his childhood.

As a young man, Art leŌ the prairies of Alberta for the mountains of BriƟsh Columbia. He Įrst moved to Vancouver where he worked and married, then later moved to the Okanagan where his two daughters were born. His career path saw him with such posiƟons as psychiatric nurse, counselor in camps and group homes for troubled youth, and as an alcohol and drug counselor. Art’s passion for helping others also reached into his personal life where he was an acƟve supporter of Amnesty InternaƟonal, Foster Parents Plan, Doctors Without Borders and other worthy organizaƟons.

Art had an irrepressible sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. He enjoyed nothing more than spending Ɵme with family and friends. Two of dad’s greatest passions were cooking and gardening. He was extremely well read and his insaƟable appeƟte for knowledge led to a rather large and eclecƟc collecƟon of books.

Art was an intelligent, wise and funny soul, who could always be counted on to stop whatever he was doing to listen to us. We love you dad and will miss you every day.

Art will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his daughters Risa (Don) Eyers, Davida (Jed) Hoberg, and their mother Sandie Hoberg, as well as his ten brothers and sisters, Mary Dubois, Ethel (Norm) James, Lorna (Roy) Zacharuk, Mildred (Peter) Chekowski, Muriel (George) Broder, Barbara Hoberg, Gerald (Helen) Hoberg, Dennis (Sylvia) Hoberg, Phillip (Susan) Hoberg, Helen (Rod) Mills, two grandsons (Cohen and Dixon), 38 nieces and nephews, his many friends as well as his extended family.

A Service of Remembrance will be held in the Tea Room of the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, 4303 Pleasant Valley Road, on Friday, June 10 at 2p.m.

In lieu of Ňowers please make donaƟons to Amnesty InternaƟonal or Doctors Without Borders.

Special thanks to the nurses and staī on 3 West at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and to the amazing staī at North Okanagan Hospice House for their support.
