Store hit by thieves
Strike disrupts postal delivery
Police seek pair of 7-Eleven suspects

Mail delivery virtually came to a halt Thursday. Rural routes weren’t impacted but door-to-door service ceased as 65 workers walked off the job at the downtown Vernon post office as part of a 24-hour strike. “We want to get the employer to negotiate a fair contract,” said Denise Hamilton, local vice-president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. “With the latest proposal, it took three days for the employer to get back to us and they rejected everything.” Negotiations between the union and Canada Post have been underway for eight months and a major sticking point is health and safety. Denise Hamilton says the Crown corporation has introduced a threebundle system for delivery. “It’s not ergonomically safe.” Another concern is new employees being paid less than existing staff. “Gas isn’t two-tiered. Rent isn’t two-tiered,” she said, adding the average wage is $24.72 an hour. “We need good paying jobs to make the economy run. We’re a really profitable corporation. We’re a cash cow for the Canadian government.” The union is also demanding service expansion. Canada Post has announced that next week, door-to-door delivery across the country will only occur Monday, Wednesday and Friday because rotating strikes have reduced the amount of mail in the system However, Denise Hamilton disagrees.
RCMP are on the lookout for two men after an early morning robbery Wednesday in Armstrong. Police officers were called to a report of a robbery at the Armstrong 7-Eleven on Smith Drive at about 5 a.m. “The manager reported that two men entered the store, and one jumped over the counter and stole cash from the till after pushing the employee,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson. The two Caucasian men made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. They are described as being about 30-yearsold. Police have no other description about the individuals at this time. The pair may have been associated with an older model silver Toyota van with possibly black rocker panels. “Police are working to see if they are able to obtain some video footage from businesses in the area,” said Molendyk. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Armstrong RCMP office at 250-546-3028 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Mail carrier Jason Layher and wicket clerk Norma Varga patrol the sidewalk with a group of fellow postal employees while on strike outside of the Vernon post office Thursday. “This week, I had normal volumes on my route,” she said. Canada Post says Thursday’s strike, which occurred in 12 cities across the country, was disappointing. “It’s an unfortunate disruption to our customers,” said spokesperson Jon Hamilton. “We have a generous offer on the table. We’re still talking so strike
action is unnecessary.” Canada Post has offered to increase the top wage rate to $26 an hour and provide job security. Jon Hamilton says the union is standing in the way of new equipment and processes, such as threebundle delivery. “We’re replacing equipment that is 50-years-old with equipment that is safer, easier and faster.”
As for reducing door-to-door mail delivery to three days a week next week, Jon Hamilton says it is necessary because national mail volume is down 50 per cent as a result of rotating strikes. “We have to reduce costs. We can’t keep costs the same when volumes are down,” he said. Full service in Greater Vernon is expected to resume today.

Area D slamming gates on prison issue RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A rural Lumby politician is demanding that any plans for a prison be permanently shelved. Rick Fairbairn, director for Area D of the Regional District of the North Okanagan, wants the province to halt a review of correctional facility sites. “I implore the province to consider the Rick Fairbairn wishes of the entire community by recognizing the no position,� he wrote in a letter to Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond. Lumby council is pursuing a prison after a majority of village residents supported the
e 0 Chais Over 40 s in stock r Lounge dy to go! a e and r
concept during a referendum. But a majority of the Area D residents who voted in a separate referendum came out against a jail. Between the two jurisdictions, there was a 56 per cent no vote, and Fairbairn insists that should be considered. “Electoral Area D envelops the Village of Lumby with a significant number of residents living within the first few kilometres of the village boundary,� he said. “Area D is an integral part of Lumby’s social and economic well-being with children attending schools in Lumby and residents supporting local businesses and belonging to Lumby community clubs and churches.� In his letter, Fairbairn also states that an influx of inmates will place pressure on public services like waste disposal. “The Shuswap River and the rural beauty of Area D have given rise to numerous tour-
ism businesses which have already been, and will continue to be, severely impacted by the stigma attached to a prison town,� he said. Kevin Acton, village mayor, isn’t surprised by Fairbairn’s stance. “He feels he’s representing the majority of his constituents,� said Acton, adding that there was a low voter turnout in Area D and the referendum results may not actually reflect the view of most residents. “A lot of people who voted no live 25 or 30 minutes away from the village. That would be the same as us saying we don’t want something in Vernon.� The ministry is currently reviewing potential prison sites in Lumby, Summerland, Penticton and on two South Okanagan Indian reserves. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, believes the conflicting positions from

Lumby and Area D could make it difficult for the ministry to make a decision. “It doesn’t make the situation any easier. It certainly will have an impact,� he said. “But people in his (Fairbairn) area voted no so he has to represent those people.�

Support has been incredibly strong for Armstrong’s bid for a spot in the Kraft Celebration Tour 10 in 10 contest. As of today more than 625 people had nominated Armstrong’s bid to win a $25,000 renovation grant for the Hassen Memorial Arena and to have TSN do a live Sportscentre broadcast from Armstrong. Askew’s Foods in Armstrong, the city and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce have also thrown their support behind the project. Ryan Nitchie There are 35 other communities in B.C. vying to be one of the 10 chosen centres along with Armstrong, and Ladysmith, on Vancouver Island, is the only community with more than 100 votes. “The goal was to try and get our project viral, and that has happened with people posting us on their Facebook page,” said Armstrong Coun. Ryan Nitchie, also an Askew’s employee who has spearheaded the promotion. “We’re doing exceptionally well.” One person has supported a nomination for the Enderby Arena and Curling Club. The Kraft Celebration Tour is open to all Canadian communities. The list will be pared down across the country to the top-60, then the top-20, with the 10 winners selected by a one-day online vote (date yet to be announced). The top-10 will get $25,000 each and a visit by TSN in August, which would also be perfect for Armstrong as such a visit would come just a couple of weeks before the start of the Interior Provincial Exhibition, the city’s annual fair which draws more than 100,000 visitors during it’s five-day run. The Hassen Memorial Arena is used extensively during the IPE, hosting a trade fair and craft exhibits. To support Armstrong’s bid, visit www.kraftcelebrationtour.ca/tour and search ‘Armstrong.’ The Hassen Memorial Arena is a 60-yearold recreational facility that has hosted some of Armstrong-Spallumcheen’s most memorable sporting and cultural events.

Waste incinerator sought ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A mega-million waste to energy plant is being pitched to the North Okanagan. Hak Sung Lee, a director with Vancouver’s Cankor-Pacific Waste & Energy made the presentation to Spallumcheen and Enderby councils Monday. The $100-to-$200 million plant would be located on private land in Spallumcheen, owned by Splats’in First Nation member Gerald William, near Hullcar and Salmon River roads. William, the band and Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes have thrown their support behind the initiative. “Our aim is to reduce greenhouse gas, convert waste to energy resources and provide alternative solutions to landfills which contaminate our resources such as water, soil and air,” said Lee. The company hopes to get all of the garbage and waste from the entire Thompson, North and Central Okanagan regions. The first phase of the plant would collect about 400 tonnes of garbage per day. It could result in spin-off products like a cooling warehouse, a hydroponic greenhouse and a 100-

— Will Hansma unit co-operative housing plan. “The waste to energy plant would create jobs and vocational training that supports the plant operation and maintenance,” said Lee. Such a plant would be odour controlled and would likely take almost three years to build. Lee said the next step is to conduct a feasibility study for the plant, which the Township of Spallumcheen supports. “This could be a viable option especially with our landfills nearing the end of their lifetimes,” said Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma. Hansma pointed out to Lee that the Regional District of North Okanagan is responsible for solid waste management, and that his presentation should be made directly to the regional district board.

believe the proposed service should be onerous on businesses. “Residents pay so much for their blue bag program so why not just include businesses if the collection contractor is running around?” he said.
Morning Star Staff
Enderby merchants may eventually be able to take their recyclables out to the curb. Council will ask the Regional District of the North Okanagan to consider establishing a blue bag collection program for businesses in the city. “Businesses have been asking for it,” said Coun. Earl Shipmaker, who isn’t sure how most merchants currently dispose of paper, cardboard and other items. “A lot of it possibly gets burned or thrown away.” One of the goals of the potential program would be to divert items away from the landfills, extending the longevity of those facilities. RDNO has currently developed a draft 2001 solid waste management plan, which looks at issues like recycling.

Drunk driving spikes in summer ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
He’s been preaching the numbers for awhile now. Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk said that while most people think it’s at Christmas time that there are more impaired drivers on the road, it’s actually when the weather is warmer. “It’s a pattern I’ve talked about the last couple of years, it’s the summer when there are more impaired drivers out there,” said Molendyk. With the official start of
“We do see an increase in impaired drivers.” — Gord Molendyk summer just around the corner, local police have already been busy dealing with people drinking and driving. Last week, police impounded 10 vehicles. Two were from impaired drivers, and two were from
motorists who had a bloodalcohol level of more than 0.08. In the same time frame, police issued four 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs) and two three-day IRPs.
They also handed out two 24-hour driving prohibitions. “We’re coming up to the July long weekend and that carries through until September, people go to the beach because the weather is warmer, or they attend barbecues,” said Molendyk. “We do see an increase in impaired drivers through the summer months.” Molendyk said the detachment will be monitoring the roadways throughout the summer to try and keep everyone safe.

Lightning sparks small grass fire RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A cool spring shouldn’t fool local residents into thinking that there isn’t a wildfire risk. Three agencies responded to a blaze on Highway 97, east of the MotoPlex Speedway, Tuesday just after 3 p.m. “Lightning hit a tree and the fire ran along a fence line and into some grass,” said Dave Lawrence, chief of the Okanagan Indian Band Fire Department. — Lawrence The blaze eventually covered an area of about 30 feet, and quick action prevented it from expanding. “It was burning pretty good because of the grass and pine needles,” said Lawrence, adding that no homes were threatened. The public is being asked to be cautious with cigarette butts, barbecues, campfires and all-terrain vehicles. “It’s pretty dry out there even though we’ve had a wet spring,” said Lawrence. Along with the band department, ArmstrongSpallumcheen and Forest Service crews were on hand.

Lake is jewel in the crown
I
’ll never forget the feeling as I motored down and around the bend in my little, white Festiva. The scene in front of me was breathtaking. Lying ahead was a sparkling, iridescent jewel of the deepest azure and brilliant turquoise. It looked alien to the bodies of water I had grown up around: Lake Ontario, the mouth of Oyster Bay near Kristin Froneman Ladysmith and even Victoria’s Juan de Fuca Strait had never looked like this, even on a good day. I mean, most of the lakes I’d seen that were this clear were due to acid rain –– caused by super-stackers belching our carbon dioxide –– an oxymoron if there ever was one. On that day, I knew I had truly arrived in paradise. As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park this weekend, it’s apt that we also pay ode to the lake that lies beside it. Kalamalka Lake, in my opinion, is still one of the most beautiful inland, fresh bodies of water in Canada... and trust me, I’ve seen a lot of lakes in my years as an avid paddler and camping enthusiast. Not only has it quenched, cooled and provided us with leisurely days at the beach and in boats, it is a feeding ground to abundant wildlife. It provides nesting areas for a variety of birds, and is home to such species of fish as the kokanee, large-scale sucker, cutthroat trout, northern pikeminnow, and the peamouth chub, among others. It is definitely the preferable lake to swim in –– especially due to the noticeable lack of that slimy Eurasian milfoil found in its “big brother” next door. But with all beautiful things, there is always the ugly side. Motorized boat traffic has been increasing at a steady pace along the lake, streaks of fuel are not an uncommon sight, and then there’s the runoff from Coldstream Creek
AT RANDOM
bringing in more phosphorus and other containments into the lake. A recent report found that increased levels of lead and zinc have been found in the lake bottom sediment, possibly due to pesticide use. Did I mention that half of Greater Vernon gets its drinking water from Kal Lake? Then there’s the unique ecosystems the lake houses in its watershed area. According to a District of Lake Country source to tap assessment done last year, longterm agricultural use in the area, including cattle, has damaged Coldstream Creek’s riparian areas and rendered the watershed vulnerable to erosion. Organic runoff from rain on snow in January, 2010 resulted in foam on the creek, which adversely impacted the entire north arm of Kal Lake for weeks. Then there’s the shoreline impact. I mean who wouldn’t want to live on one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, but a report by Ecoscape Environmental Consultants estimated that 25 kilometres, just more than 50 per cent, of the lake’s shoreline has a high level of impact –– from docks, retaining walls, boat launches, marinas... the list goes on. There may come a time when the districts of Coldstream, Lake Country and the regional districts of the North and Central Okanagan say enough is enough to development on the lake, no matter how much tax money they make from it. There are so many factors why we must preserve this lake for future generations. The decision to protect 4,209 hectares of adjacent grassland, cliffs, and wetlands in the form of a provincial park was a promising start 25 years ago. Perhaps the same thing could be done with the actual lake. If you think life without Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park is virtually impossible to imagine, think about life without the jewel in its crown? I’ll be thinking of that the next time I drive down around the bend on Highway 97, blindsided by its beauty like the first time I set eyes upon it.
Those Lumby residents who favour a correctional facility will not welcome the stand taken by director Rick Fairbairn. After all, the Regional District of the North Okanagan director has told Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond that he is opposed to a prison. But they must understand that Fairbairn is doing his job. He was elected by a majority of Area D residents to be their representative and to speak for them. Based on the April 30 referendum, a majority of those who cast ballots don’t want a facility. That gave Fairbairn limited options on how to proceed. It should also be pointed out that Fairbairn is handling the situation no differently than his counterparts in the village. Council indicated it would consider the referendum results from Area D, but at the end of the day, a decision was made to pursue a prison based on the strong support from residents of the village only. As much as Lumby and Area D residents are one community with shared services, schools, businesses and friendships, there is a distinct difference. A political boundary separates the two and certainly with the prison issue, it highlights that they don’t always see eye to eye. Ultimately, it will be interesting to see if Fairbairn or village council, and the competing interests of their constituents, has more influence on the provincial government’s site selection. Unwilling to wade into a feud that’s been simmering for months, it could be that the jurisdictional rivalries force the province to go somewhere else.

High praise for duck rescuers
O
n May 18, I was on my way home from work at about 4:45 p.m. and I saw a few people on the corner of 43rd Avenue and 25th Street dealing with a momma duck and her ducklings. I stopped to help. It turns out when momma was crossing the street with her 10-plus ducklings, six of them had fallen through the storm drain. Four of these wonderful people were trying to get the ducklings that had not fallen in, and the mother duck, into a plastic box, no small feat as momma would not leave her babies. She was not very fond of the idea of being caught but they got it done. A lady from the condo units close by had gone and got the box. Another lady ELECTION EMBARRASSING I am a citizen who has voted for all of our major political parties at various times, as I saw something valuable in each of them. However, I’m confused and dismayed by the results of this election. Stephen Harper led a far-right group formed to destroy our universal health care system. With that kind of background, it amazes me that Canadians ever elected him to lead even a minority government. Since that time, he has consistently demonstrated disdain for Canada’s political traditions and has shown contempt for Parliament and for democracy. He has abused power in a way that's unprecedented in Canadian federal politics. Though Harper continually plays the patriot role, the policies he favours reveal his intentions of remaking Canada in the image of the U.S. He doesn’t do this up front. He does it incrementally and by stealth. He has imported into Canada the worst aspects of the American right, including its vicious and polarizing political culture. There are many things about the United States that I admire and would like to copy, but its dog-eatdog society is not one of them.

dashed off to the dollar store and came back with a long-handled net. She delivered the net and wished all of them well as she had to dash off to pick up her son. She left us with the net.
I do not consider the Harper government to be Canadian Conservatives in any way. That would be an insult to a great party which was instrumental in building our nation. Harper’s people instead, are dismantling bit-by-bit, the Canada we have built. It has been said by others and I agree the most appropriate name for the Harper crew is the Republican Party North. They are simply American wannabees masquerading as Canadians. With Harper’s track record, you would think a population would have to be insane to give him a majority. Unfortunately, as we now know, that is what Canadians have done. Some say countries get the government they deserve. If that is true of present-day Canada, we must have done something absolutely unforgivable in order to deserve this one. I feel ashamed and embarrassed over the outcome of this election, but most of all I feel so very sorry for my country.

Meanwhile, calls were made to appropriate agencies but to no avail. We were able to get the storm drain off and rescued all of the ducklings. The lovely young lady that led the

To simply say thank you would never come close to the overwhelming gratitude we have for Nixon Wenger, The Morning Star and the People Place (Elaine Collison) who have allowed us to gather in a safe place to continue with our very difficult journey of loss. At this time, we would also like to extend our appreciation to the Vernon community service organizations for their referrals; the Compassionate Friends advisory board members who are always available to provide guidance when needed (Carolyn Christiansen, Donna Albury, Diana Mahortoff, Dorothy Larsen, and Brenda Rutherford) and The Morning Star lifestyles editor for ensuring the public is aware of our organization (Katherine Mortimer).

cause, as in her words, "I'm not leaving them," said she would take them off to the Polson Park ponds. I asked if she needed help and she declined. I then decided I would like to be part of the delivery moment. I waited at Polson Park for half-an-hour but never did see that part of the event. So I would like to thank all of the folks that participated in the rescue and would love to hear the happy ending. Please let us know via letter to editor. I have visions of a loose, very mad, momma duck in her car. Hopefully all is well and she will share the outcome with us. Bless all of your hearts that assisted in this rescue effort. Margo Pepper
which I'm sure is on many people's minds. Have you driven on Highway 97 from Oyama to Vernon and counted all of the holes and uneven pavement? How about Highway 6 to the 25th Avenue corner? A while back, someone was commenting in your paper about having too many workers (office) that aren't needed. This is probably happening in the company that manages the maintenance of Highway 97 too. When I was working to rack up a million miles of highway driving, I was proud of the work I was doing. Nobody seems to be proud anymore.

Farm camp ideas pitched
FOOD MARKET
Lake Country residents will still have a chance to wade into the debate on farm-based campsites. On Tuesday, council received four recommendations on agritourism accommodations from the agricultural advisory committee. “This will now be part of our stakeholder consultation,” said Coun. Noreen Guenther. “These are ideas we will present to the public to see what they support.” Under the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, up to 10 campsites are permitted per farm. However, there have been complaints from residents about campfires, traffic and noise from such sites. The advisory committee recommends that RV and tent units be subject to the municipality’s commercial water and connection fees.
“These are ideas we will present to the public to see what they support.” — Noreen Guenther It also suggests that campsites only operate from May to October on agricultural land, and that there be a 15-metre setback and a five-metre buffer between these campgrounds and adjacent properties. The committee also recommends that council limit the number of units to two per hectare and that no units be allowed on farms under four hectares in size. Guenther says there has been considerable discussion among Oyama residents opposed to campgrounds on agricultural land. “I haven’t heard from the agricultural community that believes
they need this and I would like to hear from them,” she said, adding that the goal of the provincial rules is to make farm operations viable. However, the district is concerned some people who own agricultural land do not earn their primary income from farming. “We don’t want to see a group of 10 people buying agricultural land so they can have their own campground,” she said. Residents and stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide comments until July 5. Times and locations for the public consultation process will be announced within the next few weeks.

Officers want details on grow-ops RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Village of Lumby is joining the fight to identify those using marijuana for medical purposes. Council is backing an RCMP initiative to have the federal government notify enforcement agencies and municipalities on where licenses to grow marijuana have been issued. “Everyone involved
should know where these grow-ops are,” said Mayor Kevin Acton referring to the police, fire department and bylaw enforcement. “I was shocked to find out that they don’t know.” The local RCMP have asked all local jurisdictions to pursue the matter at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. “All are aware of the issues and concerns
arising from these currently unregulated or at least uninspected grow operations,” said Supt. Reg Burgess, the officer-in-charge for the North Okanagan region. Presently, Health Canada, which licenses medicinal marijuana operations, is not obligated to notify local authorities about location, ownership or inspection. “Police and fire
services have identified community safety issues regarding medical marijuana grow sites such as increased participation by organized crime groups, home invasions because of the potential profits with the illicit sale of marijuana, health issues for children living in houses where marijuana is grown, increased residential fires, use of dangerous chemicals, chemi-
cal dumping in sewer systems and electrical injury to growers and their families,” states a resolution drafted by the RCMP. Acton is also concerned that police officers may be pursuing what they think is an illegal activity when it is a resident who has a license and isn’t breaking the law. “What a waste of money to investigate a grow-op that has a

medical license. The RCMP are already shorthanded,” he said.

Delissio helps Lumby Stars shine ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
At 30 degrees Celsius, Hockey Day in Lumby Sunday was already smoking. It got even hotter at the end of the 90-minute function at the Pat Duke Memorial Arena when Nestlé Canada and the Western Hockey League presented Lumby Minor Hockey with a cheque for a sizzling $50,000, the result of the village’s efforts during the Delissio WHL Hockey Challenge which ran Nov. 1, 2010 to Feb. 28, 2011. The challenge asked people from across Western Canada to submit UPC codes cut out from Delissio pizza boxes. Lumby responded by submitting 6,174 UPC codes. “It’s not everyday I get to see such community spirit, this is amazing,” said a Delissio hockey sweater-clad Rob Carducci, assistant marketing manager for Nestlé, of the nearly 150 people who turned out inside the arena on a sweltering hot day, playing road hockey and having their shots measured for speed by an RCMP radar gun. “The community spirit you have demonstrated today and in the challenge is something you all should be very proud of.” Carducci and Alyson Chambers, manager of corporate partnerships for the WHL, presented a cheque for $50,000 to Lumby Minor Hockey president Tracey Williamson, vice-president Peter Romailler and and fundraising chairperson Sherry Kineshanko. Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton and VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster were also on hand for the presentation. While the cheque presentation drew a raucous applause from the audience, the crown nearly lifted the roof off the arena when Kineshanko, the woman who spearheaded the challenge and had
everybody in the village thinking Delissio, was introduced. “There are not enough words to express our sincere and heartfelt appreciation,” said Kineshanko to Carducci and Chambers. “Your amazing contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of many within our community.” Lumby Minor Hockey presented Carducci with an autographed hockey stick and bestowed lifetime memberships upon him and Chambers. The contest was based on a per capita basis, which gave Lumby a fair chance at the money. “A contest of such magnitude allows small communities like ours to show not only our youth, but communities across Canada as well, that great things can happen when you work hard, are committed and never give up,” said Kineshanko. “You gave the Lumby Stars a chance to shine. We are forever grateful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.” Carducci and Chambers also received a Lumby Stars minor hockey jersey.

Lumby minor hockey players Tage Kineshanko (left), Linden Catt, Wyatt Whitcomb and Quin Williamson show their appreciation to Nestle Canada, which awarded Lumby Minor Hockey $50,000 in the Delissio WHL Challenge. Those would be new jerseys as the money minor hockey received from Nestlé and the WHL will go towards replacing uniforms, equipment and a storage container damaged sometime last summer. “We opened the container at the end of the summer to get
ready for the season and we discovered there had been a leak,” said Kineshanko. “The containers stores equipment that we have donated so that kids and parents who can’t afford to play hockey have a chance, and all of the uniforms were in there as well.”

Westside tax bills issued Morning Star Staff
Tax notices from the provincial government for property owners in the North Westside Road area should be delivered soon. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan reminds residents of this rural unincorporated area that it does not collect taxes directly from residents or businesses nor does it accept payment of property taxes.
“Rural property tax notices are issued in the electoral areas and collected by the province,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator. North Westside property owners may make their tax payment, payable to the Minister of Finance, at most banks; through their mortgage agreement; by Internet, telephone banking or by mail.

A Vernon attraction is encouraging residents to be tourists in their own town. As part of National Tourism Week, Davison Orchards is hosting Taste and Explore our Local Abundance Saturday. “Local honey, apple bread, fresh-pressed apple juice, salsa, bread dips, cheese and more will all be showcased with recipes and serving ideas,” said Taryn Zabolotniuk, with the business. “We will also be demonstrating healthy ways to eat locally all yearround with a supersimple family favourite recipe for roasted roma tomatoes.” During the event, the Vernon Outdoors Club will provide information about local hikes while author Laurie Carter will showcase her book Grandma Wears Hiking Books. Roseanne van Ee, from the Outdoor Discoveries, will conduct mini wildflower tours at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. as part of the festivities. Davison Orchards has been inviting people to the farm for 26 years, and it attracts more than 200,000 guests between May and October. “This agri-business has evolved into a multi-faceted business employing 10 people year-round and up to 50 people seasonally,” said Zabolotniuk. There is no doubt that tourism drives the economy in the Okanagan. Agritourism — combining agriculture with tourism — is becoming a key player in terms of the economic and social benefits. Displays and tasting will happen at Davison Orchards Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tishenko sets sail with Mariners GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Seaton Sonics’ boys volleyball coach Doug Kozak says Adam Tishenko is quite the musician. He plays drums, guitar and can even carry a tune. And “Now harmonica, which needs some work. I have to listen to him on our outdoor trips,” grinned Kozak. On the court, Kozak says the 6-foot-2 Tishenko is a performer of a different sort, orchestrating the Sonics’ precision aerial attack as the team’s go-to setter. “A pure flat-out hard worker that loves the challenge of beating all the best teams, and blocking the best hitters in the province, or nation,” said Kozak. “At the 2011 provincial club championships at the Richmond Oval, several college and CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) coaches rated Adam as the top setter in B.C.” The left-handed 17-year-old GRAEME CORBETT/MORNING STAR will join the Vancouver Island Adam Tishenko, a Seaton Sonic grad, is set to join the VIU Mariners of Nanaimo for the coming volleyball season.

who just won every award in this past Canadian college volleyball season.” For Tishenko, volleyball is all about the challenge of solving the opposition’s defensive puzzle. “I like being able to take control of a game and have that power to know where the ball is going to be going and know how I can get the next point for the team,” he said, admitting the dynamics of volleyball didn’t come naturally to him when he first started. Far from it. “In Grade 8, I was really terrible. Rock-hard hand and really slow. It took lots of practice, and Doug Kozak and my other coaches (Andrew White of the Venom and Craig Howard) have gotten me to where I am now.” The opportunity to play on the college circuit is something Tishenko is really looking forward to, and he already has aims of one day playing CIS. “I really like the idea of playing at a high level the whole time,” he said. “I really like playing with new guys and seeing what they can do and what I can learn. That challenge is exciting for me.” Tishenko, who plans to pursue a career in physical education, is asking for sponsorship through VIU’s Adopt a Mariner program. Businesses or individuals can sponsor a Mariner player and have their logos published on the gameday roster, and anytime Tishenko’s name appears in an online VIU article.

At the league’s recent AGM in Richmond, it was announced the Vernon Vipers’ owner would be taking over as executive committee chairman from Darcy Rota of the Coquitlam Express. Incidentally, the two were named corecipients of the league’s Executive of the Year award at the meeting. “Both Darcy and Duncan have been exemplary partners in our league and have elevated the BCHL’s status through their dedication,” said league commissioner John Grisdale. “With Duncan moving into the chairman’s role, I know we will not miss a beat moving forward.”
Westside Warriors owner Mark Cheyne will fill Rota’s place on the five-member executive. “I have a great deal of respect for what Darcy did and I understand his reason for moving on,” said Wray, who served a six-year term as chairman prior to Rota. “There are still some things I’d like to accomplish and hopefully I can lead the charge with the new board.” In other AGM news, it was decided the league would roll with a half-interlock schedule in its 50th anniversary season. Each team will play every other team, but visit only four rinks in the opposing conference. Each club will play three of their conference opponents four times at home and four times on the road. Against the remaining four conference opponents, it will be four at
home and three on the road. “Within conference, this is going to be the most balanced schedule we’ve ever seen,” said BCHL executive director Dave Sales. Also, the regular-season schedule will start Friday, Sept. 23, two weeks later than last year. As such, it has been mandated that each club’s main training camp will begin no sooner than Aug. 22. Meanwhile, the Langley Rivermen introduced Steve O’Rourke as the bench boss for the coming year. The 36-year-old Summerland native spent the last two season in the Calgary Flames organization as assistant coach of the AHL Abbotsford Heat. O’Rourke played two seasons as a defenceman with the BCJHL’s Penticton Panthers in the mid-1990s and was drafted by the New York Islanders in ‘92 after playing in the WHL with the Tri-City Americans.

Royals rout Panthers Morning Star Staff
The C&A Royals grounded the Anchor Inn Panthers 8-1 in Pee Wee baseball action Tuesday night at rainy Creekside Park. The Royals, who had an impressive third-place finish in the Rutland tournament last weekend, got superb outings from first-year pitchers Nathan Nesbitt (six strikeouts) and Bailey Wellman (three strikeouts). Lyndon Shykora finished up. The Royals’ bats came alive in the second, highlighted by a Tyler Wellman home run. On Sunday afternoon, the Royals completed a very strong weekend by holding on for an 9-8 victory over the host team, taking third place in the eight-team Wesley Nelson Tournament. Nesbitt, Josh Gares, Jackson Brownrigg, Tyler Wellman and Bailey Wellman started the Royals off with consecutive hits for an early four-run lead. Nesbitt, Caleb Versteeg and Tyler Wellman were impressive on the mound for the Royals, capped off by Wellman’s high-pressure strikeout of the final Rutland batter with the tying Rutland run on third base. In Bantam action, the Vernon Johnston Meier Meteors fell 9-4 to the Wayside Press Savage Bulls in the pouring rain Tuesday night at Marshall Field. The Meteors had a hard time hitting the wet ball, but Shelby Hartwig went 2-for-2, while Mitchell Lukacs and Tyler Wiebe both cranked out triples. Hartwig and Wiebe shared the pitching for the Meteors. The Meteors posted a pair of wins over Kelowna teams in Sunday action. The Meteors earned a 17-4 victory over Kelowna #1 with Hartwig going 3-for-3 with a single, double and a triple, three ribbies and four stolen bases. Jacob O’Quinn, Lucas Colgan, Jordy Griffiths, Wiebe and Lukacs also batted a thousand with a combined seven walks. Lukacs hit another monster home run, clearing not just the fence but the batting cages as well, giving him five dingers on the season. In the second game, the Meteors ran over Kelowna #2 12-4. Lukacs went 2-for-2 with three ribbies and two stolen bases. Brayden Damini added four stolen bases and a ribbie, while Hartwig had two hits and five stolen bases. Wiebe, Franky Gettis and O’Quinn all batted a thousand.
The Vernon Sky Chiefs split a Sunday Midget doubleheader with the Kamloops Dingers Sunday at Marshall Field. Kamloops used a five-run final inning to take the first game 14-8, while the Sky Chiefs won the second game 14-8. A group of Vernon first-year Mosquito players, calling themselves the Vernon Canadians, lost 7-6 to the Kamloops River Dogs in the finals of the recent West Kelowna Tournament. With two outs and the bases loaded in the fifth inning, Chase Batchelor smacked triple to right to right field in a 2-2 count, scoring Jacob Green, Eric Foufoulas and Carter Morris and giving Vernon a 6-5 lead. The River Dogs responded with two runs. Vernon’s game MVPs went to Morris and Batchelor. Morris finished third in the 2001 age group fastest pitch contest with a toss of 48 miles per hour. Earlier, the Canadians used a six-strikeout showing from game MVP Landon Harison in a 12-7 win over the West Kelowna Red Sox. Maguire Lauridsen supplied a triple, a walk and two runs scored. The C’s then rubbed out the West Kelowna Giants 9-3 with MVP Stevie Schols supplying a triple, walk, two RBI and two runs. Schols, Morris and Maguire Lauridsen handled the Vernon pitching. The C’s opened with a 17-7 victory over the Kelowna Blue Demons. MVP Ryan Gamage and Christopher McIntosh handled the hill for the C’s, who got two hits and three RBI from Tyler Sedlacek and two hits and three runs from Batchelor.

Vernon DH rides on Middleton GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
MORNING STAR FILE
A competitor charges down the spectator-friendly course of the Vernon DH on Middleton Mountain.
More than 80 adrenaline junkies will descend on Middleton Mountain this weekend for the seventh annual Vernon DH. It is the first stop in the five-race International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) NorAm Downhill Series, and will feature participants from as far away as Brazil, Switzerland, Sweden and Mexico, who will compete amongst North American riders in street luge, classic luge and, for the first time, in-line skating. The event goes 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday. Elimination heats begin at 12:30 p.m. each day. “The race has grown and matured since its inception, and through the guidance and feedback of residents, has secured a spot on the calendar for
a fun family weekend event,” said race organizer Mischo Erban, a former IGSA world champion. “This unique course may not be the most extreme but it is definitely the most unique, running through a dense urban neighbourhood. Residents line the course with lawn chairs and soak up a day of speed, crashing and exhilarating talent.” Erban underwent an equipment overhaul last season and dipped to eighth in the IGSA rankings while he adjusted to the new gear. With everything now fine tuned, he plans on making a charge to regain the crown. He thanked food sponsor, The Sprouted Fig, and equipment sponsors Switchback Longboards and Seismic Skate Systems. Hay bales will be available for purchase after the race at $4 per bale. Contact Erban at 250-5506555.

For James Eccles, it was a challenging opportunity he couldn’t pass up. As the new head coach of the Major Midget Okanagan Rockets, the 33-year-old Abbotsford native plans to put his experience in the hockey world to good use. “I’m going to be coaching in the Okanagan to help get our young players here prepared for the next level,” said Eccles. “It’s all about the development of youth in hockey.” A former junior player in B.C., Eccles played four seasons at Kent State University and coached for three seasons at State University of New York in Brockport, N.Y. Eccles is currently an instructor at the Hockey Skills Academy for the Central Okanagan school district and is the director of scouting for the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles.

Floss crew torches Blazers Morning Star Staff
Dr. Lee Dental/Checkers continued their winning ways with a 5-1 victory over IRL Blazers at Marshall Field #2 in a downpour Tuesday night. Kim Teichman, Andi King and Madison Kaneda each had a goal and an assist for the floss crew, who improved to 4-2 in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Competitive Division. Ageless Irene Arrotta added a goal late in the first half, and the youngest Dodds sister – Kirsten – had the highlight goal of the night when she made a 30-yard run around several Blazer players and tucked one into the left corner of the net.
Dana Reid added two assists, while Lisa Arrotta made several key saves late in the second half to earn the win. The Blazers dipped to 0-4-2. In the other Competitive Division game, the TED United of Salmon Arm iced the Little Tex Outlaws 1-0 at Marshall Field #1. Little Tex keeper Gineil Ferrier was incredible, making several clutch saves to keep things tight. Jordan Mercer was outstanding on defence, stopping the United offence, while Christine Fraser had a solid game with a handful of shots on net. Stacey Cover, Jen Kemper and Monica Neilson had strong games, creating loads of scoring opportunities with-
out finish. The Outlaws dipped to 4-3, while United went to 5-0-2. In Masters Division action, the Okanagan Impact brushed back Shuswap Merlot 2-0 at Marshall #5. Minda Chittenden and Janelle Smithson scored for the Impact, who had no subs in the rain. Excellent work was turned in all game by Kim Wiebe as the Impact ran their record to 4-3-1. The Merlot crew dropped to 4-3-1. In other Masters play, Becky Mueller scored the winner as Monashee’s Pub brushed back the Goplen Drillers 2-1 at Marshall Field #3. Monashee’s went to 2-4-2, while the Drillers fell to 2-4-2.

Dynamite defuse first-place Timber Morning Star Staff
The Davidson & Co. Dynamite shocked the first-place North Enderby Timber 1-0 in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. Geoff Cox took a through ball on a quick Dynamite attack down the right wing and toe poked a shot short side off the inside post and past NET keeper Danny Stein in the 25th minute. Jesse Knight (stopper) Carson HaywoodFarmer (sweeper) Ean Ross (right defender) and Landon Osborne (left side) provided a rock-solid wall fo the 3-2-2 Nitros, who subbed in Sean Kelman at all four backline spots. The Timber didn’t generate much offence, but got a stellar showing from 17-year-old Derek Huisken at centre back. Huisken suffered a separated shoulder and concussion early in the youth Under 18 Rep
season. NET (6-1-1) also welcomed back midfielder Graham Ross off injured reserve. Turn-Key Controls picked apart the expansion Salmon Arm Outlaws 3-1 Wednesday night at the Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Field. The newly-formed striker duo of Jeremy Kler and Cam Egan accounted for all all goals with Egan netting two. Egan opened the scoring on a great solo effort when he sped down the right wing and fired a low bullet past the Outlaws’ keeper. The Outlaws tied it up with a shot that skipped across the wet field and past the keeper. The second half saw continued pressure from Turn-Key, led by Egan’s tenacious attack on the Outlaw defenders, leading to his second goal as he forced a turnover in the 18-yard box.
Turn-Key’s third goal was a thing of beauty. Brendan Love made several moves to dance around Outlaw defenders and deftly chipped it through to a streaking Kler, who found himself alone with the keeper before burying the insurance tally. Turn-Key received strong play up and down the middle of the from Kler, Egan, Love, Evan Moore, Sam Nolan and Kyle Goodgrove as they improved to 2-4-1. Turn-Key bowed 2-0 to Revelstoke in a make-up game Sunday. The hard-fought loss was costly for TurnKey, who lost key starter Preston Tucker with a broken ankle. Tucker joins Rob McGloin (broken rib) on injured reserve. Concept Physio started a new win streak by beating Courvas 4-2 in Salmon Arm. Brock Reim, Enzo Paal, Riley Spraggs and Alex McDougall were able to exploit the shorthanded Courvas as Concept went to 3-3. Courvas dipped to 4-2-1.

Seth Blundell’s first swing of the golf season was a beauty. The smiling 12-year-old aced the par-3 first hole at Hillview while playing with his grandfather, Ed Blundell, and a few of Ed’s buddies. “I used a six-iron,” said Seth, a Grade 7 Silver Star Elementary School student. “It bounced once and then it started rolling. I was just stunned, and when I got to the hole, I went, ‘Oh my gosh.’ I didn’t believe it at first. My grampa was in shock as well.” Seth’s dad, Neil, plays golf, mom Sara “hates it” and sister Sage plays a a little. Seth received a free mug of root beer and got to keep the mug, for his first career hole-in-one. Blundell, who patrols the midfield for Joe Gourdine’s Under 13 Rep soccer team, averages 36 over nine holes at Hillview, where he will spend most of his summer. He’s tried the bigger courses a few times, playing Spallumcheen twice and Predator Ridge once. “My favourite club is my lob wedge,” said Blundell, who cheers for Camillo Villegas on the PGA Tour. “Chipping is

Now that the new Telus directories are hitting doorsteps, Lake Country residents are reminded to recycle their old phone book. “By recycling instead of tossing out your old phone book, you’re sharing in the solution diverting waste from our limited landfill space and turning it into a valuable resource,” said waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. The old books are mixed together with other household paper products at an area recycling facility. There the paper is compacted and shipped to numerous recycling mills who make products like roofing felt, more newspaper and paper egg cartons. Simply put your old phone books in your cart for recycling on your regular recycling collection day.

Children attending the Expressions performing and visual arts camp last summer drum at the Komasket Music Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dance featuring Australian band OKA. the local Okanagan published story: How The Turtle Set the Animals Free, said Roy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The story is woven throughout all of our activities, to connect each experience towards our grand finale, a performance interpretation of the story through tableau drama and rhythmic art,â&#x20AC;? said Roy. The camp will also see the kids making functional art using the natural surroundings for inspiration. They will not only redecorate and design some outdoor furniture pieces for auction, they will be building xylophones from recyclable and reusable materials and bird houses using kits from woodworker Jim Williams, said Roy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will also be painting some canvas backdrops that will then be raffled off,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This way they will collectively create some-

All this will culminate in the drama/tableau performance at the end of each week-long session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a traditional play,â&#x20AC;? said Roy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to empower children and show that everyone is important, so we get them involved in all the aspects, from set building and design to the storytelling where each child has a line.â&#x20AC;? With the children, Roy and Rossetti donated funds from their public performance last year to the Family Resource Centre, and this year they will be working with the children to host the art exhibit auction and performance, with proceeds once again going to the centre, which offers vital services in the community for families and children.

Okanagan artists join forces for Triptych Locals are part of large juried show in Penticton Black Press
A selected group of local artists are about to rub elbows with some of the Okanagan’s –– and country’s –– best when three chapters of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA) get together for Triptych. The visual arts show will be held in Penticton’s recently reopened Shatford Centre. Triptych brings together artists from the North, Central and South Okanagan chapters of the FCA in a single juried show, which runs from June 17 to July 27. “We chose the name Triptych from having three chapters as part of our show,” organizer Kate Kimberley told the Penticton Western News, explaining that triptych refers to an artwork presented in three related parts. The result of having three

Whitley was recently elected as a chapter member of the Society of Canadian artists, based in Ontario. chapters participate was 170 entries, which were sent on to the FCA in Vancouver, where three jurors chose the images for inclusion in the show. The 10 artists chosen from the North Okanagan chapter include Lee Caufield, Juve
Furtado, Michael Jell, Ev McDougall, Elizabeth Moore, James Postill, Barry Rafuse, Gail Short, Gary Whitley and Charlene Woodbury. There are also 15 coming from the central chapter and 23 from the hosts in the south.
In addition, one of Canada’s most accomplished painters, Vancouver’s Robert Genn, will adjudicate the awards with the regional committee in the afternoon of June 17, and will give a talk that night. Genn is best known for his work of the West Coast and in the Rocky Mountains, as well as for his internationally renowned website and newsletter entitled Twice Weekly Letter to Artists. His free talk to artists, art investors and art lovers alike will be on the topic of Canadian artist expectations, which will include his perspective on recent changes for artists, art investment and art dealers in the local and world market. He will be available to answer questions, and will also invite individuals to consider personal mentoring by email. The opening reception and Genn’s talk are both open to the public, and begin at 7 p.m. June 17. The Shatford Centre is located at 760 Main St. Penticton.

X-Men: First Class characters Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender, left foreground) and Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) lead Cassidy (Caleb Landry Jones, back left), Raven Darkholme (Jennifer Lawrence), Dr. Moira McTaggert (Rose Byrne), Hank McCoy (Nicholas Hoult), and Alex Summers (Lucas Till) in a battle to prevent nuclear war. into detail what that means –– long story short, I’m more hyped about this summer’s Green Lantern than Captain America), but again, there’s something so irresistible about the concept; it’s almost too smart to be labelled typical comic book fare, yet too much fun to considered art. Of course, an outrageously great ensemble cast doesn’t hurt. Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Basterds) plays Erik Lehnsherr, a guy who barely made it out of a Holocaust camp, where it was discovered by an evil scientist (Kevin Bacon) that he could bend
and shift metal without ever touching it. Erik obviously becomes Magneto, and First Class is largely about his early friendship with Charles Xavier (James McAvoy, who eventually becomes Professor X, the leader of the X-Men.) The origins of other familiar players like shape-shifter Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence of Winter’s Bone), airborne Angel (Zoe Kravitz) and fuzzy blue Beast (Nicholas Hoult) are paraded out, yet it doesn’t reek of obligation to introduce these characters – Vaughn makes every one of them fit
beautifully and feel essential to the proceedings. Where other Marvel material has sometimes piled on a variety of creatures at a rapid fire pace (Iron Man 2 and even some of the Spiderman sequels were probably guilty of overcrowding the bench), First Class never gives off the vibe that there are too many cats at the party. Best X-Men film yet? In my opinion, yes, but, as we’ve already established, you can take that with a grain of salt. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Performing as Folk Thief, Dave Hadgkiss has gone from being a completely unknown artist to booking gigs and placing in the top 10 on college radio charts across Canada in a little over a year. “It’s the name,” laughs Hadgkiss. “I just think it’s more interesting to have an alias, it gives you freedom.” Hadgkiss discovered that he wasn’t alone in this philosophy when he met Colby Ramsay, another Vancouverbased indie singer/ songwriter who performs under the name My Boy Rascal. The two met while playing on the folk radio show, Melodies in Mind, and discovered that they had complementary, but

previous big screen outing, 2006’s Last Stand, I don’t know if I’m a real Jason Armstrong expert on giving advice for the latest mutant adventure, X-Men: First Class. Perhaps there’s just something about this story that intrigues me, good or bad. I do know this much, though, X-Men: First Class isn’t as great a comic book movie as it is a solid film, period. A prequel to the Hugh Jackman-led trilogy, First Class is a wonderfully told story; the manner and style in which director Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass) unfolds his tale is darn close to magic. This engages, it entertains, and most impressively, it won’t alienate non-fans of the franchise –– and that’s not a simple thing to do. How can I be so sure? Easy. I wasn’t a fan of The X-Men growing up. My comic book preference always leaned more towards D.C. than Marvel –– ask your kids to go

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
In 1941, Trevor Gill was born north of London in England. The 1941 Chevrolet convertible was manufactured in Detroit. The two would not meet until 1986. Gill grew up to be fascinated with cars, got his first car, a 1939 Hillman in 1958, became a licensed heavy duty mechanic, married Carol, and came to Canada in 1968. “I bought my first old car, a 1941 Chevy coupe in 1971. I just like the style of old cars. I had an antique Model T at one time and I restored a 1922 McLaughlin, a Canadian-made car. I was always buying and selling cars,” said Gill. He restored a 1964 Cadillac convertible which ended up being sold to a collector in Denmark. He bought the Chevy convertible in 1986 from a vintage car dealer in Portland, Oregon. It was rusted, with no front fender, no top and no hood but Gill saw the beauty it could become. “I completely disassembled it. I knew where there was a good rust-free floor, it was the same as the other Chevy 1941 models and I put the frame on the new floor. It seems like a lot of work and it was, but it was the easiest way of doing things,” said Gill, who found parts from catalogues, other restorers, swap meets, and from his own parts inventory. A friend got him the hood ornament from a farmer in North Dakota for $10. “Me being a sort of handy guy, I could do most things. I rebuilt the engine and transmission and fitted all the chrome trim, which was the originals re-chromed. “It took a long time but I was working and we remodeled a house over those years. And restoring cars is a money pit.” He bought upholstery kits for the top and the inside of the car. The glass is new, the tires are reproductions, and he had an artist paint hand-paint the dashboard to look as it had in the original car. He had the body work and painting professionally done. “I know of only one other car like this in Western Canada. They were never made in Canada and there were only 15,000 of them made. A lot of them were hotrodded in the 1950s, raced and smashed up,” said Gill. “This is really nostalgic for me in another way, too. 1941 was the year Louis Chevrolet died and I always wanted a Chevrolet convertible. I sort of bonded with it for awhile. I’d work really hard on it then leave it when I didn’t have enough money to go on. Sometimes when some-

The car will be in the North Okanagan Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada Father’s Day Car Show June 19 at the Village Green Centre. thing wasn’t right, I’d walk away from it for awhile. If you are going to do something like this, you want to to it right. “Then I realized that this year the car is going to be 70 and so am I so, if I don’t get going, I’m not going to need it. So I decided to get it done in time for the show this year.” The North Okanagan chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada sponsors the Annual Father’s Day Car Show. “It gives people a chance to see the old cars and we always get a lot of people out and a lot of positive comments. And the old car guys get a chance to meet and swap stories. It’s a very social hobby. We meet a lot of people as members of the car club.” The show is the club’s only fundraiser and is used to provide two $500 bursaries for local high schools, one for an auto body apprenticeship and one for an automotive mechanic apprenticeship. “It’s an accomplishment to do this, isn’t it?” he said, looking fondly at the shining ivory car. “I don’t think I’ll restore any more cars. I have an old tractor I’d like to work on.” But there’s an old car body behind the shop. The next challenge? The 17th Annual Father’s Day Car Show, sponsored by the North Okanagan Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada, features antiques, classics, trucks and custom cars. The show takes place June 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the north

Admission is by donation. For more information, call Don at 250-549-8469. A Chevrolet is born Louis Chevrolet was born in 1878 to a Swiss family and learned mechanics in France. He worked briefly in Montreal and New York City and was a race car driver, competing in the Indianapolis 500 four times between 1905 and 1920. He was the co-founder of the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in 1911. Chevrolet lost his fortune in the 1929 stock market crash and went to work as a line mechanic in a Chevrolet factory in Detroit. He died in Detroit in 1941. The cars that bear his name went on to be part of North American popular culture myth.
The Kindale Walk-A-Thon has so many ways for people to help the Kindale Developmental Association, have fun and win prizes. The first Kindale Walk-A-thon April 18, 1970 brought out 159 walkers. In 1971, the youngest walker was three-year-old Fraser Bowles and a fourgeneration family headed by Roland Penney did the walk with a birthday celebration at the end. Mike Luniw, now 87, was one of the first participants. “I didn’t have time to walk, so I ran,” he said. He won the award for the fastest time several times. In 1975, there was a bed race and in 1977, they used 45 loaves of bread for sandwiches, 275 apples and oranges, 30 dozen cookies, 37 gallons of cold drinks and gallons of water for the 300 walkers. In 1982, the walk was shortened to four miles and Enderby, which had previously taken part, started its own walk. In 1985, Shirley Copeland collected the most pledges. The year 1984 was a record one with 400 walkers; the oldest was Ted Mutz at 81. Partnerships have always been important for Kindale. In 1995, Kindale invited the First Armstrong Scouts and Community Services Teen Centre Committee to use the walk to support their own projects. In 2002, the walk-athon was a memorial to Sheila Shultz who had been the highest pledge earner since 1991. In 2003, the PVSS Cross Country running team, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Health Care Auxiliary and Armstrong Flower Shop were instrumental in collecting pledges. A new trophy, Kindale Hero, was introduced by the Armstrong Lions for the Kindale individual who collects the most money. It was won by Charla Mulder in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, the Corporate Community Challenge was won by the Haugen Medical Group. Kindale receives core funding from Community Living British Columbia but this does not cover all costs of the programs provided. Kindale is extremely grateful for the generous support of the community to maintain the quality and diversity of services. The Walk-A-Thon, which starts at 9 a.m. Sunday from 3300 Smith Dr., Armstrong has a choice of two routes (maps given at registration). It’s a family fun day starting at about 10 a.m. when most people will be finished the walk. There will be a barbecue and pirate ship slide and bouncer by donation as well as a yard sale. Participants are encouraged to register as soon as possible and start collecting pledges. The first 100 walkers receive a swag bag and there are prizes for the most money collected by an individual and the most money collected by a youth. The 2010 winner of the most money collected by an individual was Charla Mulder. There is also a corporate challenge, with the winner getting lunch at the office. Each registered walker who collects at least $10 in pledges will have a contribution of $5 made by Armstrong Pharmacy/ Village Cheese and another $5 from Ladies World. For more information and registration, contact Cindy Masters at 250-546-3005 or cindy_masters@ kindale.net or see www.kindale.net.

Messy home worries friend
D
ear Annie: My best friend, “Jamie,” lives five hours away. She and her husband, “Bob,” are both disabled. Jamie has several chronic illnesses that leave her in pain and exhausted most of the time. Bob weighs about 500 pounds and is immobile and bedridden. They have two teenaged children who are also obese. I recently visited and was appalled to see their living conditions. What used to be messy has devolved into absolute filth — dirty clothes, papers, halfempty soda cans, candy wrappers, Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar dirty dishes and spilled food, topped off with cat urine and feces. I was horrified and disgusted. Jamie’s husband and children treat her like an indentured servant. Bob has a caregiver during the day, but relies on Jamie at night. And he is impatient and surly. The kids whine for Mommy when

they can’t find things, and they claim to be too “exhausted” to lift a finger. The weekend I was there, the kids did nothing but eat, sleep, sulk, whine and play computer games. They are two of the laziest humans I have ever met and are totally self-involved. Bob and the kids don’t care a wit about wallowing in filth. I have watched them drop food and garbage on the floor and walk away. Jamie has given up trying to clean up after these three little pigs. I think Jamie’s surroundings are slowly killing her. I realize she is a major enabler, and I don’t want to criticize her when she feels so overwhelmed. But watching their lives disintegrate isn’t an option. What can I do? — Frustrated Friend Dear Frustrated: We’re surprised Bob’s caregiver hasn’t called the authorities to report the filth. There’s not much you can do for someone who refuses help. Perhaps you or a group of friends can offer to send over a cleaning service if Jamie is amenable and you can afford it. Beyond that, please talk to her and express your concern without judgment
or accusation. Suggest that she look into low-cost counseling for herself so she can develop better coping skills. Tell her to do it for the sake of her children. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Gone to the Gym,” who complained about the overweight nurses in the cardiologist’s office. Most nurses I know never dreamed of becoming overweight. Unfortunately, they have horrendous schedules that don’t benefit their health. Many work long hours with breaks too short to do anything but grab a quick bite. Some nurses work 12-hour shifts and then go home to take care of a spouse, children and household responsibilities. Sleep is a luxury. Numerous studies have pointed to the effects of rotating shifts on metabolism, as well as the effects of lack of sleep on our weight. Most people are aware of the punishing schedules of medical residents in training. But that only lasts a few years. Working conditions for nurses last for decades. — No Name Nurse

AA members share hope CARA BRADY
She partied on weekends through high school and didn’t pay much attention to her studies but did graduate. “I was 18 when I first considered that I’d crossed the line into alcoholic drinking in amount and frequency. I wanted to live a different way but I didn’t know how to change things.” She worked at a bar from ages 19 to 26. “A bar is a perfect place for an alcoholic to work. I was drinking daily, morning to night. I still had the desire to quit drinking and live a sober life and at 26 I went to a counselor,” she said. The counsellor encouraged her to go to AA meetings. “I resisted it for about eight sessions and finally she wrote the name of a meeting to go to, when and where. When I walked in she was sitting in the front row. I was inspired by the stories I heard in the meeting but for whatever reason, it wasn’t my time,” said Diane. “I decided I would do it my way and I did for eight years but it was hard. I got to the point where I couldn’t manage my own life. I realized no human power could relieve my alcoholism. I went to

Some people come to an Alcoholics Anonymous event for the first time when they go to Roundup. “The Roundup is for people who might have come to meetings and want to come back and there are always some newcomers. You can lose yourself in the crowd because there are people from all over, and learn about the organization,” said Doug, a 34-year member. It is an AA tradition to use only first names to preserve privacy. The Roundup, starting today, includes a Friday evening session, speakers and a dance Saturday, with breakfast and a speaker Sunday morning. Diane, a 10-year member, is looking forward to the Roundup. “If I had tried to imagine my life after drinking, I would have shortchanged myself. It is so much better than I would ever have thought,” she said. She started drinking at 12. “I had a feeling of unworthiness as a kid and drinking made me feel part of it. I came from an alcoholic family and we were allowed to drink at home, it was a normal way of life,” she said.
an AA meeting and a woman came up to me and said, ‘I know how you feel. I know where you are, I know how to get out.’ She became my sponsor.” Diane started to do the 12 Step Program. Doug explained that the program is entirely voluntary, individual and anonymous. “It is a program of attraction. We don’t tell anybody what to do at all. We show them what we’re doing. They see what our members are doing and that they can do that too,” he said. That’s what Diane did. “I admired my sponsor, how she lived, how she handled herself. I wanted what she had. It was a miracle. The steps helped me to have a change in personality, my attitude changed, my thinking changed, my reactions changed. My whole life changed. I could be a better parent and a better friend. The results of doing the 12 Steps brings about a spiritual experience which our Big Book (basic text) calls a change in personality sufficient to bring about recovery from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. “Now I go to five meetings a week because I’m undisciplined and it keeps me living in
the solution. I also go to give back what was so freely given to me and to help the newcomers. Now I sponsor girls. I find it rewarding to get out of self and help others and watch the miracle take place in someone else’s life. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.” Doug said he thinks young people are smarter now and come to get help at a younger age. “We get 15 and 16year-olds. When I was 15, it was the last thing on my mind that drinking might be a problem. Now there is more information about addictions, alcohol and drugs and we do see people who are dually addicted,” he said. “I was sometimes told to do something about my drinking but nobody ever showed me how to not do what I was doing. “There is a fellowship of men and women here who share their experiences, strength and hope. There is no
judgment here. There is hope. People are not alcoholics because they want to be. It’s a tragic disease. It’s everywhere and AA is available in more than 180 countries around the world.” The District 70 39th Annual Roundup takes place today, Saturday and Sunday, with speakers from Canada and the United States. It will be at the Vernon Recreation Centre at 3310-37 Ave., Vernon. Registration is $25 for the meetings, dance, lunch and breakfast.

“It will still come back to members for a vote,” said Rees. That vote would occur in the last week of June, including among Lake Country teachers. That means there is still plenty of time for the parties involved to avert job action. This move simply gives both the government and the teachers’ bargaining agents a clear picture of where local teachers stand on the issues and how far they are willing to go to

News make a stand. Earlier this spring teachers won an appeal in the Supreme Court when Justice Susan Griffin decided a Liberal manoeuvre to eliminate class-size limits from its collective bargaining agreement with the BCTF was unconstitutional. “We’ve seen cuts that are devastating and supports that should have been in place for kids just aren’t there,” Rees said.

Exodus 24:17: “The sight of the glory of the LORD (Yahweh) was like a devouring Àre on the top of the mount.” The glimpse of God’s glory that were permitted on special occasions were but the shadowings of the glory that is yet to be revealed in Christ’s return to earth. Moses was called to Mount Sinai where he was given this manifestation.

Free rides celebrate grads Morning Star Staff
Grads can get onboard for free. In an effort to promote safer, more sustainable ways to travel, more than 16,000 graduating secondary students in communities throughout the province have received a special GradPASS. The pass is good for two days of unlimited travel within their local transit system this month. “High school graduaBlair Lekstrom tion is an important milestone in many young people’s lives,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom. “Choosing to travel for free on public transit on grad day will allow students to celebrate their achievement safely. Thanks to BC Transit for encouraging our young people to take the bus on their big day.”
The program has been available in Victoria since 1990. Other participating municipalities include Abbotsford, Campbell River, Cranbrook, Kamloops, Kelowna, Kootenay Boundary, Mission, Nanaimo, Pemberton, Penticton, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Powell River, Salt Spring Island, Squamish, Sunshine Coast, Vernon and Whistler. “The GradPASS is our way of helping graduating students celebrate their achievements safely,” said Manuel Achadinha, president and CEO of BC Transit. “Congratulations to the 2011 grads, who by continuing to choose transit, will shape our communities for a more sustainable future.” The GradPASS program was developed in Vancouver in 1988 through Counterattack, BC Transit and local school boards to help get students home safely at graduation time. Students must scratch off the travel date on the GradPASS and present a valid Student ID to the bus driver. Passes are non transferable.

Sheriff cuts compromise public safety JEFF NAGEL Black Press
A major cut in the number of sheriffs who guard B.C.’s courts will leave the public, witnesses, judges and staff at greater risk of violence, according to their union. The provincial government plans to reduce the hours of 52 auxiliary and part-time sheriffs, equivalent to eliminating 34 full-time positions. “The safety of the judges, the safety of the court staff, the safety of the sheriffs and the public is compromised and at risk,” said Dean Purdy, spokesperson for the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union. “More and more gang activity and violent crimes are being dealt with in the courts,” he said. “I think it’s only a matter of time before we see a major incident occur in one of our court houses.” The planned cut comes on top of past reductions in the ranks of sheriffs – as well as judges and other court staff – that have been blamed for lengthening waits for cases to get to trial and some of those cases being thrown out due to unacceptable delays. Almost 100 sheriffs – nearly 20 per cent of the workforce – have been lost to attrition during a four-year hiring freeze, mainly as sheriffs move on to higher-paying law enforcement jobs. Judges have increasingly refused to run their courts in some parts of B.C. when there’s no deputy sheriff available to provide security. Purdy said the downtown Vancouver trial of the Vernon-based Greeks organized crime group is proceeding at the high-security court room built for the Air India trial, but full safety procedures are not in effect. “There’s no search gates set up. I’m almost certain that’s due to a lack of staffing.” Purdy predicts the new cuts will cause
more court date cancellations and fuel further delays in the courts. Court rooms have sometimes been closed in Kelowna, Kamloops, Victoria, Nanaimo and parts of the Lower Mainland in recent months due to the lack of sheriffs. Judges have increasingly spoken out about the shortage, saying there’s potential for
volatile or dangerous situations to erupt in court without security. Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. president Azool JafferJeraj said the shortage of sheriffs and judges causes a ripple effect through the system. “Recent courtroom closures were caused by a shortage of sheriffs and this will only get worse as staffing cuts
cause harm throughout the province. “Courtrooms should not be empty when there is a backlog of cases to be processed. It erodes justice.” February’s provincial budget approved cuts totaling $14.5 million for court services, prosecution services and the judiciary, despite a published warning from the provincial
court that more than 2,000 criminal cases are at risk of being quashed due to excessive delays. “Our number one priority remains the safety and security of our courtrooms and our court facilities, but we are also living within a budget,” AttorneyGeneral Barry Penner said in the legislature June 1, under questioning from the NDP.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You won’t find a better day to try to get in touch with some people you haven’t seen much of lately. They’ll welcome hearing from you, whether via phone call, email or personal visit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Look for something propitious to happen to you. Whether it is unexpected or not, you’ll derive tremendous personal happiness from it, as well as great benefit. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can be a surprisingly determined individual once you set your mind on achieving a certain goal. Your aim could be especially good and you should get what you want. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Sheer determination will place you in the right spot at the right time, so it behooves you to select a worthy goal, even if it’s something that was initiated by another. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Circumstances could give you an opportunity to establish a relationship with someone you admire and would like to know better. You’ll get your chance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You’re in an especially good achievement cycle at this time, so it behooves you to establish some meaningful plans for yourself. Don’t hold back; the bigger, the better. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It’s one of those days when fortunate things could develop for you, even when it comes to the realm
of chance. Don’t take any unnecessary gambles but, by the same token, don’t hold back either.
Alvin Braumberger, General Manager of The New VERNON KIA, is pleased to announce the appointments of Ken Rust & Les Walker to the Sales & Lease Team.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) This is the day to establish the adjustments that you feel could immensely benefit you or your family. It will be up to you, however, to take the initiative to get things rolling. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Focus on the positive aspects of something you’re contemplating doing, instead of dwelling on the negatives. Your outlook is what will reflect the outcome of events. ARIES (March 21-April 19) In order to feel good about yourself, it is important that you do something that is both productive and provides you with a real sense of accomplishment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Work hard, but plan some time just for yourself, whether that is having fun with friends or just saving some hours to do whatever you want.

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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Jodie Foster said, “Normal is not something to aspire to; it’s something to get away from.” Is that true at the bridge table? There are many “normal” plays in bridge, and knowing them is good. But occasionally the “normal” play will be wrong. Those deals separate the really good players from the rest. What is “normal” in today’s deal and why is it wrong? South is in three no-trump. West leads the diamond jack. North’s sequence showed a game-invitational hand with at least six clubs. (If you have taken up two-over-one gameforcing, I believe that you should immediately respond three clubs with that hand. With six-plus clubs and a weaker hand,
respond one no-trump forcing, then rebid three clubs. Respond two clubs and rebid three clubs with a strong hand.) South starts with six top tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and two clubs. It looks normal to win the first trick in hand and to play a club to dummy’s nine, surely establishing the suit. Here, though, that play works badly. East wins with his jack and returns a diamond. Then, when the clubs rudely break 4-1, the contract must fail. Instead, declarer should win with his diamond ace and cash dummy’s top clubs. If they split 3-2, South concedes a club and has nine tricks, dummy’s diamond king being the entry to the long clubs. However, when the
clubs are so unfavorable, declarer plays a spade to his jack. West wins with his queen and perseveres in diamonds, but South wins on the board, takes a second spade finesse, cashes the spade ace, and claims, taking four spades, one heart, two diamonds and two clubs.

B22 Friday, June 10, 2011 - The Morning Star
Bob was born in North Bay, Ontario in 1948 and passed away peacefully in Vernon Jubilee Hospital on Friday, June 3rd, 2011 at the age of 63 years. He is survived by his loving wife, Brenda, of 30 years; his beloved four-legged friend, Chelsea; two brothers, John of Manitoba and Karl of Florida: three nephews, extended family and friends. Bob was predeceased by his parents. Bob always had an interesting, real-life story to tell. The story began when Bob’s father, a sea captain, retired to Florida where Bob grew up and received his education. While in high school, Bob won the state championship for B Flat Tenor Saxophone, an accomplishment which led to an invitation to play with Guy Lombardo and The Royal Canadians for a New Year’s Eve celebration. He graduated from a Technical Institute and received an Electronic Technician Certi¿cate. Bob worked at a series of jobs in Florida but was eventually hired as an electronic technician with the Barnum & Bailey Circus Company and was able to travel throughout the United States and up into Canada, landing ¿rst at Winnipeg, and then on to Calgary where he left the circus. He then found his own way to BC, his destination being Vernon. Bob had various jobs in Vernon, one of which was as head electrician for the DND at the Army Camp for seventeen years, until the Camp closed. That led to him becoming a dealer of collectibles and antiques, which had always been a hobby of Bob’s. He enjoyed camping and was an avid Ày ¿sherman. Bob will be remembered for his interesting, real life stories, his great sense of humour, his love of animals, his ability of ¿x anything and to lend a helping hand to anyone. Arrangements have been entrusted to: PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com
