The B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation has suspended a now-resigned Vernon School District administrator for professional misconduct. Former Vernon Secondary School vice-principal Tony Martin Dolinar has agreed to a onemonth suspension of his teaching certificate, effective June 1, after he was caught changing the marks of a student. “The district holds high expectations for their administrators,” said Vernon School District superintendent Joe Rogers Thursday, reacting to the commissioner’s ruling. “We need to ensure and expect that they are holding a high standard, and that parents, students and teachers can trust that they’re doing the right things for all of the kids.” Dolinar was suspended by the school district without pay on Dec. 19, 2013. He resigned from his employment with the district as vice-principal on Jan. 31, 2014, then joined the teacher on-call list as a substitute teacher. “In our mind, part of the decision needs to be is what he’s done a career-ender or can he rebuild trust by starting over?” said Rogers. “Basically, he’s starting over again.” The commissioner, in a three-page ruling released April 29, states that while Dolinar was vice-principal at VSS, he acted “dishonestly and without integrity” when he used his position to access electronic records of students’ grades. Dolinar increased the percentage marks of a student “whom he wished to favour,” said the release, giving the student higher percentage marks than teachers had given in three courses on the student’s report card and electronic record in the 2012-13 school year, and in one course in 2013-14. The student received an academic award in 2012-13 that the student would not have picked up if the marks had not been changed. The commissioner said the moves were done “covertly, without authorization and without advising the teachers or other administrators.” In November, 2013, when a teacher raised a concern that the student’s grade had been changed in her course, “Dolinar misrepresented to the teacher and to the principal that he had not changed the grade, when he knew his statements were not true.” Dolinar admitted the facts set out in the investigation by the commissioner.

Vernon officials are concerned B.C.’s new recycling program could put seniors and the disabled at risk. Coun. Catherine Lord is asking city staff to be aware of potential problems with Multi-Material B.C.’s blue recycling boxes after a recent opinion piece by Morning Star columnist Pat Black. “The provincial government had good intentions but there are some unforeseen consequences,” said Lord of people with mobility issues having to carry the plastic boxes full of recycling. “I want to know what effect this is having on our seniors.” In her column, Black expressed the challenges seniors and the disabled may have with the boxes. “They weigh about five pounds empty, are awkward to carry and are up to the knees of many older people,” she wrote. “How will someone with a disability be able to lift them in the first place or carry the tall boxes down stairs without being able to see where they are going? These are accidents waiting to happen.” Black says 25 per cent of residents of this area are more than 60 years old, and while some have disabilities, others just don’t have a lot of physical strength anymore. “There is so much anger and frustration that this operation has been thrust upon us without debate or any modicum of thoughtfulness,” she wrote. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe agrees with Lord’s concerns. “Those boxes are heavy. If you are a senior and are trying to haul a box, it will be hard,” said O’Keefe. See related articles on page A12

Dauphin Kings connect with the kids JENNIFER SMITH

Morning Star Staff

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

Dauphin King Hudson Morrison gives the kids a spin on the playground at Coldstream Elementary Monday during the RBC Cup team’s visit to the school.

winging from the monkey bars, shooting hoops in the school basketball court and sharing video game tips wasn’t what the Dauphin Kings had in mind when they rolled into Vernon for the RBC Cup. But getting to meet some fans across the country at one of the region’s elementary schools was a great way to spend the day (and act like a kid again). And it was as equally a treat for the Grade 6 Coldstream Elementary students who got to meet the players, and to play with them. “We even got free tickets to go and watch them,” said Bailey Phillips, as she searched for her adopted player to ask him some questions. The class had been following the Manitoba team since the season started, along with a few others in the league. In fact, 10 local schools were taking part in the contest with each class following several teams. “It was kind of like a hockey pool,” said teacher Chad Soon of the RBC Cup contest with the schools. Out of the 137 teams in 10 leagues, there are four teams who earned a spot at the junior

As if a spot in the tournament wasn’t enough, each of the five teams also earned a visit with some local kids at Ellison, Alexis Park, Silver Star and Coldstream elementary. “We won, out of like 100 classrooms,” said Coldstream’s Kalum Leboe. The students gave the teams a royal welcome to town last weekend, decorating their dressing rooms and then cheering them on before the hockey stars made their school visits.

Safety concerns sparked at Sovereign JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Coldstream teens are being warned that their antics at Sovereign Park are in fact a major cause for concern. There have been several issues with young adults lighting fires at the beach next to both the Sovereign and Mackie homes, burning shingles off the Mackie shed and lighting firecrackers. “We’re just concerned about the safety of the area and the disruption,” said one neighbour Pamela Ades, referring specifically to a Friday, May 2 incident which escalated into needing a police presence.

Another neighbour, Dawn Brule, adds: “Our neighbours, their property was egged that night as well.” Ades suggests the increase in activity is due to the lack of a presence at the Sovereign house. There used to be a full-time caretaker on site, but since he moved out the District of Coldstream is searching for a new caretaker (the request for proposals closes May 26). “We want to get someone in as quickly as possible,” said Trevor Seibel, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer. “We’re looking at the end of June at the latest I’d suspect.” In the meantime, a guard has been put

in place from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., seven days a week. Coldstream will also look into additional lighting at the park. Meanwhile Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick points out: “You get these hot spots where they (youth) go. They’ll always be there though. “Coldstream Park used have a lot bigger parties than that.” Those with concerns can also call the after hours emergency number at 250542-7600. Coldstream is also working on establishing a specific contact for the Commissionaires.

man Brett Hope enjoyed chatting and visiting with the students, and swapping video game tips with Leboe. And he was equally enjoying the climate and scenery of Vernon. “It’s awesome, I love it,” said No. 24. Soon, also a volunteer at the Cup, was impressed with the time the players took off ice to spend with the kids and he was equally impressed by the kids. “It’s nice to see they can embrace and be welcoming to another team and be sportsmanlike and be open to the excitement.”

Stampede out of the gate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There will be plenty of bronc-busting action in Falkland over the May long weekend. The 96th annual Falkland Stampede is expected to draw a large crowd Saturday, Sunday and Monday. “It’s a big tradition and there’s a lot of atmosphere,” said Jason Churchill, stampede manager. About 200 riders are expected this year. “We have them coming in from all over the world. There are some from the U.S. but the majority are from Alberta and B.C.,” said Churchill, adding that this is the first major outdoor rodeo of the season. The cowboys and cowgirls will be competing for $40,000 in prize money and there are strict rules to be followed. The rider is judged on their action, and the animal they are on is judged on its bucking performance. Each judge marks from one to 25 on the rider and 25 on the animal, giving them a total of 50 marks that he might award. The bucking stock, once again, is being provided by Northcott Rodeo, including Saddle Bronc Horse, Get Smart, Dark Side and Charley Horse. In bulls, you will see Black Jack, Risky Remedy and Moccasin

The 96th annual Falkland Stampede busts out of the gate Saturday and runs until Monday. Bead. Added to the schedule this year is mini chuckwagon races. “It will be pretty entertaining and something new to see,” said Churchill. Beyond the rodeo action, there will be a lot of other activities going on, including an outdoor trade show with about 30 exhibitors. “There will be tack, log furniture, jewelry, art and local businesses and it’s co-ordinated LB by

Doug Carlson for the Falkland Community Association,” said Ozzie Leaf, stampede director. On Saturday, Doug Mills will lead a horse training presentation at 11 a.m. while the annual Falkland Stampede parade makes its way along Highway 97 Sunday at 1 p.m. “There will be a pancake breakfast downtown all three days and dances Saturday and Sunday nights,” said Leaf. “There will also be a great variety of food

vendors on the grounds and a beverage garden too.” About 6,000 people attended the stampede last year, and the Sunday alone generally attracts upwards of 4,000 people. “In 96 years, we’ve built up a lot of tradition,” said Churchill. The rodeo takes place at 1 p.m. Saturday and Monday and at 2 p.m. Sunday, while the trade show runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The mini chuck wagon races occur each day at 3 p.m. while there will be the heavy horse pull Monday at 10 a.m. and a cowboy church service Sunday at 11 a.m. “We are proud of our town to be able to continue to put on a three-day pro rodeo and we want to thank our sponsors, the local rodeo fans for their support and to all of our dedicated volunteers, we thank you,” said Leaf.

Everybody, into the pool. The outdoor pool at Armstrong’s Memorial Park opens this weekend. “The first swim is today,” said Coun. Kelly Rowe. The pool is open from noon to 5 p.m., Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to a grant provided by the city, the first 100 people Saturday get in free. Rail crossings CN Rail has told the city they are planning for some necessary rail crossing upgrades. “Currently, they have only one confirmed, the Fraser Road crossing, with no date provided,” wrote city public works manager Tim Perepolkin. When a date is announced, the work will require the closure of Fraser Road for the duration of the upgrade. Creek turbidity Officials have noticed, at the start of the spring run-off, a slight increase in turbidity in Armstrong’s Fortune Creek source. However, there is no need to be alarmed. “We are currently well within our operating permit limitations, and we are prepared to switch to groundwater supply with the implementation of stage 2 water restrictions if and when necessary,” said Perepolkin. Project to start Armstrong’s major capital project for 2014 begins Tuesday. The start of the complete overhaul of Dunn Road was supposed to have been last week, but the contractor was behind schedule on another project.

The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man Lumby man who died after a motor vehicle incident near the village Sunday morning. He is Denji Andries Kuraoka, 25.

ary school level. This will result in the loss of nearly three full-time positions and a savings of $283,400. Shannon MurrelsAllaway, teacher/ librarian at Parkview Elementary School in Sicamous, is upset with every cut that was proposed in the budget. “I’m very concerned for our B.C. youth and school systems. There’s so many basics that aren’t being covered,”

she said. The school district board made it clear that it has looked at all options available to eliminate the impact the budget cuts will have on parents, students and staff. “What we are left with to meet the budgets short falls are nothing less than human beings,” said trustee Bob Fowler. “If the government isn’t willing to invest,

that’s what we’re left with.” The possible solution to the cuts that was presented was the public getting involved and speak out to the Ministry of Education. “Realistically, the public has been mute on it,” said trustee Barry Chafe. “Unless the public at large sends a message that this is not acceptable, nothing will change.”

Tipping the balance

hen I worked as a server many years ago in several busy Vancouver restaurants, the minimum wage was $3.65 an hour. Even in those bygone days, that was not much of a salary. Needless to say, I relied on tips to enjoy a decent standard of living. It’s still the same today: the minimum wage may have gone up, but tips are the real reward for a job well done. But a Vancouver Island restaurateur has decided to do away with the timehonoured tradition of Katherine Mortimer tipping by paying his servers a decent wage and benefits. At Smoke ‘N Water in Parksville, owner David Jones plans on paying his service staff $20 to $24 an hour and his cooks $16 to $18 an hour. I think it’s a great idea, in theory. Waiting on tables has often been considered to be a stepping stone to something else, not necessarily a career. But the skills needed by a good server are many: from diplomatic skills to knowledge of wines, not to mention a level of physical fitness to withstand long hours on your feet. So kudos to Jones for paying his staff real wages and recognizing them for the professionals they are. And any of us who has had meals ruined by surly, rude or just incompetent service knows the cardinal rule of a restaurant experience: great service can save mediocre food, but the most fabulous meal in the world will be ruined by lousy service. Jones hopes that by eliminating tipping, he will eliminate the stress many customers feel by having to calculate tips, not to mention worrying whether they’ve left enough

At RAndoM

(although thanks to new debit/credit card machines, most of those calculations are figured out automatically); and the stress servers feel when they realize they’ve been stiffed after providing top-notch service. I’ve travelled in many countries where tipping is included in the price of the meal and have experienced some of the worst service imaginable, ranging from sheer indifference to a group of us being yelled at by a server as we left a restaurant in Austria. I believe someone in our group had asked for a specific condiment. It wasn’t as though she had asked for out-of-season truffles to garnish her hamburger. There was simply no motivation to provide decent service. She was paid whether she cursed at us, or simply served us our food. Unfortunately, in her case it was the former. We never got our food. I do think many of us are completely and utterly burned out when it comes to tipping. It’s one thing to tip your barista for making you an outstanding latte, it’s another when you’re in a beer and wine store. I just don’t see the point of providing a tip when I’ve walked over to the cooler myself, opened the door, removed the wine and taken it to the counter. When I worked in the service industry, we kept the bulk of our tips and paid a percentage into a tip pool for the cooks, bus boy (yes they were all boys in those days) and hostess (yes, all female in those days). We took pride in providing good service and hoped we would be rewarded. And when we were it was the icing on the cake. On the other hand, it might make for a more relaxing meal in a busy restaurant, where servers aren’t worried about turning over as many tables as possible to up their tip potential. For now, though, I’ll take the potential for great service.

Apathy in the political process has reached an all-time high in recent years, with the perception that elected representatives are not really listening to public concerns. But there is evidence this week that the provincial government is heeding public feedback. An all-party committee of MLAs has unanimously supported a proposal from Finance Minister Mike de Jong that henceforth all B.C. politicians will publish their expense receipts online. The proposal, clearly a response to the flap over legislature Speaker Linda Reid’s expenses – including nearly $5,500 in businessclass air travel for her spouse, since repaid – elicited a few grumbles from NDP MLAs over the work involved. But it seems MLAs overall agreed with de Jong’s assessment steps need to be taken to restore public trust, after recent “unreasonable” expense abuses in B.C. Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has apparently taken note of written feedback from B.C. residents in amending the proposed Bill 24, which would make changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve. The contentious twozone provision remains, dividing ALR land into one area (Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan) where farmland would be protected from non-agricultural development and another (essentially the rest of B.C.) where farmers might have options to invite in ‘value-added’ industries that could include oil and gas development. The amended legislation has received guarded endorsement from the B.C. Agriculture Council, although NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons says Bill 24 is still probably the worst piece of legislation he has seen. The actual impact of both of these provincial policies remains to be seen, of course. Politicians generally are past-masters in the art of simulated action, and manipulating public opinion through carefully stage-managed response. But the BC Liberals have everything to gain and nothing to lose by demonstrating a greater level of responsiveness to public opinion – rather than the predictable chorus of partisan support.

Letters

Editor: GlEnn MitchEll

cultural facilities Becky Strobe's letter in The Morning Star was one of the best I have read in a long time. Becky is obviously an intelligent, concerned citizen with a belief and vision of what could and should be a better, invigorating, well thoughtout, thriving community. It's too bad we don’t have any, and I do mean any, local politicians who think the same way she does. Becky asks the question, "Why haven’t we implemented the existing OCP?" If we did, would we not have a fabulous, first-class art gallery? Would we not have a spacious, interesting, well-run museum and maybe gorgeous lakeside facilities providing well-maintained beaches with all of the amenities drawing thousands of happy, money-spending visitors to our beautiful diamond in the rough? Would we not be better off implementing the exiting OCP than we are now? Have the local politicians not noticed the empty store fronts around this city? Again the question begs, "What is being done to change this situation?" Why are we not pursuing funds from the various grants that are available to help us enhance our economic growth? Becky is bang on when she says

Letter writer shares some insight

wrote a few weeks back and stated that I was finished with letter writing, but I am doing it at least one more time. The reason is that after that letter, I received a call from Mr. Mitchell, the editor, and we had a good talk. At the end, I came to another conclusion that I should clarify a few things that we should know about writing into the editor. This is because it is coming from someone who uses this service and not the paper. First, you will only get one letter a month printed, no exceptions, so do not write in on every issue or week as this just piles up and makes it harder for the department to keep track. We should try for one or three a month. Second, we should also try to keep our letters short and to the point. This will give

❙

more letters to be written and read by the public. If it is short and to the point, more people might be interested in reading it. Hopefully the paper will be able to print between four and eight an issue.

we have the volunteers, individual organizations and civic groups who are willing to make the contribution needed to make this an outstanding area that all of us could be proud of for years to come. All that is needed is for the politicians of this ridiculously over-governed area to just make a decision and get on with it. Denis Marson for tHe people I got a good laugh out of the "City targets road maintenance cutbacks" story on the front page of the recent paper. Then it suddenly dawned on me that April Fool's Day was over. Are we heading back into the middle ages in this city? Open ditches instead of storm drains, skinny roads that are supposed to be cheaper to build and no replacement of aging sidewalks? How about cut the waste instead of cutting critical infrastructure? A quick glance at the list of taxpayer-funded festivals put on by our city every year include Bike to Work Week, Water Week, Earth Day, the Sustainability Awards and the list goes on. The city should not be using our tax dollars to put these events on. Let the handful of people that want them do the fundraising and all of

the organizing themselves. City staff should be doing what the people want, not pushing their own agenda. Cut the red tape, and allow businesses and industry to thrive and grow in this community. Build us roads that can handle more than just smart cars. Make wise decisions with our money, and people will likely have no problem paying more in taxes to get the work done properly. Until then, you might as well take the money that's being spent on the useless tourist booth by the Civic Arena and spend that money on a big overhead highway sign pointing people straight to Kelowna. chris Vandermolen intriGuinG proposal The guest column from Black Press owner David Black was both thought provoking and timely. I must disagree with the suggested location of a refinery near Kitimat. The lack of refinery capacity north and east of Edmonton has been acknowledged in the past, and this has now become a significant barrier to the oil sands industry. A refinery complex in north-central Alberta would be able to ship value-added refined products east, south to the U.S. and west.

Third, the paper should begin editing all letters for length or size. If you do not want to be edited, then request this and I imagine the paper will contact you and inform you that it will not be printed.

The concerned citizens should not be constantly writing in about the same items all of the time as it becomes redundant after a while and it delays what others have to say. Special interest groups, such as unions and societies, should refrain from using this as a sounding board for their views. These people and groups usually get lots of articles written about them and if not, maybe they should approach the paper for an article. This letter is just about the right length and I am leaving it up to the editor to edit as he sees fit. If we all take this attitude, then maybe we can get more people involved with what happens in their city. Thank you Mr. Mitchell for the call as it was enlightening and appreciated. Garry Haas

This would also remove so many of the obstacles that reasonable and informed opponents have identified in the Keystone and Northern Gateway proposals. I believe the federal, Alberta and B.C. governments should listen to Mr Black, but refinery capacity must be in Alberta, not in Kitimat or any other location on B.C.'s coast. rod Drennan tHank you On April 12, the community of came out to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the courthouse in Vernon. It was a great day for all organizations associated with the legal system and part of the court process to be present and answer questions for the public who likely do not ever attend this wonderful building. The North Okanagan/Shuswap Crime Stoppers Society was part of this wonderful event and we were asked if we would cook hot dogs for those in attendance. We would like to extend our thanks to the management of Save-On-Foods for their generosity for supplying all of the food and drinks as well as their large barbeque to make the event a success. Through the generosity of the community, the North Okanagan/ Shuswap Crime Stoppers board

was able to raise $653. This will be used in the ongoing operation of our board within the region. Gord Molendyk, co-ordinator crime stoppers

now in the MMBC recycling service level, and said it’s incumbent on the Regional District of North Okanagan, as the supplier of solid waste services, to come up with solutions to the gaps MMBC presents. “Ultimately, the success of the recycling program in the North Okanagan is based on the fact we’ve tried to make it as convenient as possible for the residents,” said Nitchie. Coun. Shirley Fowler thinks it’s good for the city to be proactive. “If we can find kind of an easy solution of having a bin somewhere in town as opposed to out of town, that’s the way to go,” she said. Council voted unanimously in favour of a motion that calls for staff to investigate options for glass pickup and recycling in the city limits.

There will also be two online surveys – one for producers and one for the public. “Collectively, this public input will be used in the creation of a background report that will provide greater insight into agricultural production, top of mind issues, suggested solutions and the overall agricultural vision for the North Okanagan,” said Kittel. “All of this public input will be considered during the development of the plan and there will be another opportunity in the fall for the public to get involved.

here are no guarantees when our children are born that they will grow up to be happy, productive people. It is a heartwrenching experience to lose a child into the vortex of drugs and alcohol and helplessly watch as they spiral down to a dark place that is unimaginable to most parents. It could be likened to a death, as everyone’s dreams end. The dreams are replaced with an emotional roller coaster ride of repetitive shattered hope that is exhausting and draining. Hope, dangled on the thin thread of wanting to believe the addict will stop feels like it is an unreachable concept. As the addict succumbs deeper into the disease, their personality changes, their thoughts becomes irrational and the individual, as they were loved and known by their family and friends, is completely unrecognizable. My only child is now 40 and is still actively using and drinking. He has been jailed, charged with assault, lost more jobs for peculiar reasons (it’s always “the boss’ fault”), raged and tried to lie and manipulate his way into or out of more situations than I can remember. So when I came across Tim and Sandy Varga’s book, Loving Him To A Fault: Lessons In Parenting An Addict, I knew I had to read it. Then once I read it, I knew I had to tell you about them. Parents (and siblings) of children who turn to

drugs and/or alcohol often walk with feelings of guilt, shame and a convoluted type of “forgiving anger.” Their brains never shut off as they struggle to make sense of it all. How many times have you heard people say, “The Smiths have the nicest kids, they were really good parents.” I used to think this way until I had my own child. My lesson is that good parents can and do have kids who go off the rails and the reaCarole Fawcett sons are seldom clear. Sandy Varga says she, “lives in fear of that next phone call,” explaining that she is, “uncertain if it will be good news or bad news.” That thin thread of hope can be tenuous at best. Tim and Sandy’s book will touch the emotional nerve of any parent, family member or friend of the family who has a shared experience with addiction and hopefully provide a deeper understanding for those who haven’t. Tim told me that he wrote the book to help others, but also to, “justify in my own mind that I had done everything I could, because I knew I could not live with myself if something happened.” When you help someone, you are assisting and empowering them. When you enable, you are taking on the responsibility for someone else’s actions, quite often “rescuing” them and disempowering them at the same time. So when you observe yourself doing more

As parents, it is easy to slip into the enabling role because we love our children. We are programmed to help our kids, so when a child becomes an addict, it feels normal to continue to “help” more than we should and the line between helping and enabling becomes blurred. Not surprisingly, when I spoke with Tim and Sandy, I found them to be caring, kind, normal people, just like the rest of us. Good people who have worked hard and only wanted the best for their kids. Sandy and Tim’s courage in sharing their journey is helping to bring this topic out of the closet and will help other parents know that they are not alone.

City of Vernon employees are embracing safety at the workplace. The city’s joint occupational health and safety committee made staff aware of North American Occupational Safety and Health Week, which runs until Saturday. “It presented information sessions and an organization-wide safety challenge,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, communications co-ordinator. “JOHSC received 120 safety challenge entries and warded 64 prizes to city employees.” The committee makes recommendations to the city about improving health and safety. It consults with workers, deals with complaints and identifies unsafe situations.

Vipers play and see TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers will wake up this morning either anticipating a Saturday semifinal game or contemplating a lost opportunity at the Royal Bank Cup. The Vipers battled the Central champion Toronto Lakeshore Patriots Thursday night at Kal Tire Place with the loser suffering elimination from the five-team national Junior A hockey tourney. Both teams were 1-2 in preliminary play. The Western champion Yorkton Terriers edged the Dauphin Kings of Manitoba 2-1 in overtime in a Thursday matinee to grab the third semifinal berth. The West No. 2 Kings, who also lost to Yorkton in the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup final in Dauphin, topped the round-robin at 3-1. The Kings get to choose their semifinal start time (games go at 2 and 6 p.m. Saturday). The final is Sunday at 4:30 p.m., live on TSN.

Derek Falloon scored 2:40 into overtime Thursday, on a feed by Brett Boehm, after a turnover at the blueline. Brent Wold gave the Kings a 1-0 lead 46 seconds into the middle period. Tyler Giebel equalized midway through the third, from Boehm and Chase Norrish. Dauphin became the first team through to the semifinals with a 5-2 win over the Vipers Tuesday night, scoring twice in under a minute, late in the second period, before 2,500 fans. Vernon seemed a step slower and they were not hitting with the same umpf. “I don’t know why we didn’t come out with the same intensity. Nervousness is one thing you see with that hockey team right now,” said Vipers’ head coach and GM Jason Williamson. “They need to be simple and prepared, they are good players on a good hockey team. We were just sitting on our heels a little bit.” The Vipers (1-2) had a pair of glorious

opportunities in the first on a lengthy twoman advantage. Colton Sparrow (Player of the Game) and Brett Mulcahy just missed connecting on a pair of one-timers. Kings’ goalie Michael Stiliadis (Player of the Game) has been superb all tournament. Stiliadis had great positioning on the Vipers’ powerplay chances. “It’s really a credit to those guys in front of me. They are doing a great job which makes my job easier,” said Stiliadis. Stiliadis actually spent a month with the Vipers when Austin Smith was injured earlier this season. He went 0-2. “It’s weird how it worked out that I would be back here in the RBC Cup, but it’s nice. I am familiar with this place.” Said Viper hustling forward T.J. Dumonceaux.“We’ve got to win three more games and we win a national championship. We need to realize the opportunity in front of us and do it for ourselves.”

Dylan Chanter of the Vernon Vipers holds off Jesse Bernard of the Dauphin Kings in Royal Bank Cup action Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place.

Braden Barr scored late in the third period as the Vernon Tigers clipped the Armstrong Shamrocks 7-6 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “It was an ugly win, but at the end of the day we will take it,” said Tigers’ coach Myles Brumpton. “We came out flatfooted. We had unusual play from our key guys. They had a few drops on scoring chances,” said Brumpton. The Tigers (4-0-1) clawed back with two goals in the second and the third. Darryl Landels had a pair and Jay Seaton sniped a goal and two assists. It wasn’t the cakewalk that the Tigers have been used to; they have won their past three games 13-2. “Our composure on the bench was impressive last night. Things weren’t going our way, but the guys put their head down and got after it,” said Brumpton. The Rocks held a one-goal lead in the third on goals by Drew Hassard and Minnis, who both finished with 2+1. “We wanted to prove to Vernon that we weren’t the same team they saw last time,” said Shamrocks’ head coach Brett Logan. Armstrong’s Marlon Forrest went down awkwardly in the Tigers’ end, which sprung a rush the other way. Barr got his second of the night and the winner with three minutes remaining. Tigers’ netminder Aaron Jensen showed that he was human after all, allowing more than two goals for the first time this season. “A.J. played well enough to keep us in it. I’ll take six goals against from a goalie any day,” said Brumpton. The Tigers should have goaltender Thomas Bella back for their May 24 game against Kamloops. “Aaron is our guy right now and Dylan is the future for this team. We are going to do our best to work Thomas in,” said Brumpton. Meanwhile, the Armstrong Shamrocks are atop the Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League after they downed the Kelowna Raiders 6-1 Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. Brennan Plante jumpstarted the Rocks (3-1) with a natural hat trick over the first two periods. Rocks’ netminder Chad Pieper was incredible with 31 saves. Armstrong’s defence held the potent Raider attack scoreless through one. Victor Weins scored on a shorthanded breakaway for Kelowna (2-2) in the second. Kyle Versteeg added a powerplay goal to give the Shamrocks a 4-1 lead after two periods. After some Raider pressure, Armstrong responded with a breakaway goal from Kas Boudreau. Former Raider Travis Lee scored for the Irish on a penalty shot.

connected for the Knights, while Ethan Jameson (2) and Jinhak Kim replied for the Greens. The U18 boys Crowne SLP Kings grounded Nixon Wenger Navy 3-0 and lost 4-1 to the Kidston & Co. Reds in weekend play. Matthew Roberts dribbled upfield and sent a great feed to Jeremy Purvis, who waited for the keeper to commit and nailed the far side of the net, for the Kingsâ€™ opening goal versus Navy. Daniel Aspenlieder passed to his big brother, Ben, who turned, moved a few yards and buried a 25-yard corker for the 2-0 lead. Balraj Randhawa added insurance on a scramble. Ezra Stich and Brett Jewell shared the shutout. Martin Grenier, Kian Banner and Jackson Stewart were praised by coach Terry Curran, a Newfoundland product, for their tireless play. The Kings had their undefeated streak stopped by the Reds with Mika de Vin of the Kings scoring on a feed from Aaron Keryluke. In U14/15 girls Subway girls play, the Navy Seals slipped past the Red Bulls 3-2. Red scored an early goal before Navy unleashed three straight. Taya Shepherd made a great run before feeding Katie Dennis for the first goal. Dennis used her speed to beat the outside defender and hammer home a long, corker, top shelf. Ashley Obrecht netted her first of the season when she poked the ball by the keeper off a nice through ball by Sarah MacGillivray. Obrecht supplied another snipe when Carly Popilchak intercepted a goal kick and fed her the ball in front. Obrechtâ€™s kick went off a defender and in the corner. Saylor Martian and Brianna Falk scored goals at tough angles for the Red Bulls, while midfielders Ellen Megaw, Piper McWilliams and Clare Thiessen were marvellous. The Sealsâ€™ defence of Brianne Bertram, Jayden Amies-Loose, Gillian Hinton, Taya Plamondon and Versailles Zayshley was dynamic, while midfielders Alex Mackinnon, Olivia Weber-Concannon, Dana Kievet and Hannah Mccaffrey ran miles. In the Sunday game vs Orange, goals came from Clare Schmidt and Martian with Ali Viskari stepping up to coach. Sarah Mugridge was superb in goal, and Talia Matties, Anica Haberstock and Lilah Jacks were all tough on the ball for the Red Bulls. In U18 girls play, the Greens had no subs but pulled out a 1-0 win over the Caufield Engraving Silver Dimes. Danielle Butler and newcomer Anna Cherkowski ruled the Greensâ€™ midfield, while strikers Marissa Aldrich and Amy Parsons were hot. Defenders Faren and Desiree Gosselin, Hana Whibley and Halle August were solid, while Ania Spalwinski was super with a goal on the wing. Nixon Wenger defeated Caufield Plaques 4-3 with Mary Patitucci (winner) Jenica Camalush, Corinne Lavigne and Kate Curtis scoring.

Margaret Mustangs. The Lakers had some great chances at the end but couldnâ€™t capitalize. Standouts for Kal were Squair and Emily Thorlakson up front, captain Vicki Schley on the back line, and keeper Julia Kemper. Kal placed second

in their four-team pool after shading the Sa-Hal Sabres of Kamloops 1-0 and holding off the Westsyde Whundas. Teigan Moore supplied the goal Tuesday morning against Sa-Hali, while Squair and Ralston converted in the afternoon win.

The Red Vultures dusted off Team White 2-1 in Royal LePage Under 12 boys youth soccer action at Marshall Field. Willem Gibson and Caleb James scored for the Vultures, assists going to Brayden Riguidel and Nicolas Petty. Riguidel was named the Two-Way player of the game, while Brandon Wycott and Isaiah Barnes took the Defensive MVPs, as chosen by the Vulture coaches, led by Ian Gibson. Keeper Jacob Tarasenko stopped several breakaways. In other U12 play, the Gold Armadillos bounced the Blues 4-0. Exceptional efforts by forwards Zac Manthorne and Ben Harrop kept the play in the Bluesâ€™ end. Manthorne jumpstarted the offence, followed by goals from midfielders Tage Kineshanko, Rory Campbell and Connor Seahaver. Bold defence was turned in by Cole Mackay, Aiden Buckley and Garrett Erho with Jared Ross earning the shutout. The Red Tornadoes worked hard in a 1-1 draw with Team White in U13 action Saturday. Tristen Baker anchored the Tornadoesâ€™ defence, while Kolby Summerfelt, Drew Dickinson and Brett Botwood led the offence with several attempts after the Whites opened the scoring. Caenen Wisse blasted in the equalizer with five minutes left. In Royal LePage U13 play, the Gold Rush rallied to clip Navy 2-1. Navy converted at 22 minutes, while Graham Tassie evened things nine minutes later. Cole Strilchuk got the winner in the 45th minute. Navy was award a penalty kick off a hand ball in the dying minutes and Gold Rush keeper Liam (Archie) Cooper made a gigantic save. The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Team White ran to a 1-1 draw in Royal LePage U11 action. Ty Bartel connected for the Chili Peppers in the 12th minute, while the Whites replied 10 minutes later. Bartel was the keeper in the second half and made a dynamic diving save. Team Orange, coached by Bryan Schenker and Rob Eggert, moved to the top of the Subway U14/15 table by shading the White Knights 3-2 and shading the Reds 4-3. Shane Pelkey put Orange up on the Knights on a PK in the 32nd minute, keeper Nick Mitchell diving to his right and getting a piece of the rocket. Jaden Steinke neatly redirected a corner by Andre Soto Alvarez for the equalizer before Reece Hawthorne headed in a cross by Yididiya Bunn for a Knightsâ€™ lead. Carter Bosquet levelled the score with eight minutes left, from close range, after a quick throw-in by Mathew Jackson. Fatigue started to set in and with both teams seemingly willing to settle for a draw. Minkyon Son had other plans: with 30 seconds to go, he picked up the ball off a throw in on the right side, and produced a stunning 35-yard scorcher that soared over Mitchell. Josh Hyer, for Orange, and Soto Alvarez for the Knights, took Man of the Match honours. On Sunday, Todd Wengerâ€™s Reds came out flying and went in front with Riley Bos scoring his first of three, at 20 minutes. Orange keeper Joel Vandeleest showed his class to keep Orange in the game. After coming close several times, Cole Martin took a feed from Steven Benischek and turned on a dime before burying a low shot. Orange kept the pressure up and just before the half, Mathew Jackson beat his marker to connect on Leon Schenkerâ€™s corner. Bos equalized before Jackson picked up a loose ball 10 minutes later and finished nicely. Bos then tied it again. With 10 minutes left, Kieran Webster forced a turnover, resulting in the winner by Martin. Manof-the-Match was defender Gaman Nijjar. The Knights rebounded with a 5-3 win over Team Green Sunday with Sam Frisby getting the winner and insurance goals in the final 10 minutes. Riley Kadach, Soto Alvarez and Mitchell also

Vipers fall 5-2 to Dauphin Continued from A18

The Kings rallied after killing Brett Sharples’ penalty. A battle to the right of Smith saw the puck squirt out onto the stick of Brayden Cuthbert. Jared Morris struck 45 seconds later from Jesse Bernard, beating Smith down low. Smith was replaced by Danny Todosychuk after 20. “It’s tough, I don’t want to fault Smitty, I tried to inject some life by switching to Danny,” said Williamson. A dump in from Brett Hope bounced off the end boards, off Todosychuk’s foot and in, 1:50 into the second period. “It is never an easy situation being the host team, we know what they are going through. There is a lot of pressure involved,” said Kings’ head coach Marlin Murray. Tyler Garrioch stunned the 2,500 patrons when he scored 16:09 into the second from Hudson Morrison.

Squires shut down Impact

Bennison Best

Morrison won the face-off to the left, where Garrioch quickly chipped it over Todosychuk to make it 4-0. “We are working hard, but we aren’t working smart all the time. We need to get back to Viper hockey on Thursday,” said Mulcahy. Sparrow has turned into must-see TV. Fans cling to the edge of their seats when he steps on the ice. He leads the RBC Cup in goals, with five. The Vipers were on a five-on-three man advantage when Sparrow was the recipient of nice passing from Demico Hannoun and Josh Bryan. Sparrow’s goal came on the powerplay 1:07 into the third. Shortly after another Vipers’ powerplay ended, captain Ryan Renz showed off his soft hands as he walked in from the point, made a quick move around a d-man, and snapped home his first of the playoffs on a sweet feed from Sparrow.

Dr. Lee/Squires Four Pub blanked the Longhorn/Grey Monk Impact 2-0 Tuesday night at MacDonald Park. Dr. Lee (5-0) is on fire in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Master’s Division. They haven’t allowed a goal this season. Jill Rintoul made it 1-0 after receiving a beautiful through pass from Melissa Tkachuk. Dr. Lee capitalized on a free kick when Irene Arrotta lobbed to Leah Frye for the tap in. Lisa Arrotta stopped a penalty kick to earn her fifth shutout. The Impact, who got awesome goalkeeping from Derri Cooper, fell to 3-1-1.

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Morning Star Staff

It took two extra playoff holes, but the Seaton Sonics held off the Kalamalka Lakers at the Okanagan Valley High School Golf Championships Monday at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. Seaton was led by Matt McEachran-Law’s 2under 70, matched by Kal’s Austin Bosquet. Seaton, Kal, George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country and Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops all advance to provincials, May26-28, at Pheasant Glen in Parksville. Russell Day, with a 77, Mac Gourdine, at 78, and Parker Wadsworth, with 81, rounded out the Sonics scoring. Matt Kreutz fired a 75 in support of Kal. McEachran-Law beat Bosquet in the first playoff hole to earn top individual honours.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia. The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high. The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet. “The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Vandenbrink cashes in at Harvest

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

Keith Vandenbrink of Hillview shot a 70 Tuesday to collect $725 for a share of fifth place at the Kelowna Rotary Pro-Am at the Harvest Golf Club. Vandenbrink was overdue for a payday after shelling out $300 in entry fees and coming up empty at pro events in Penticton, Fairview Mountain in Oliver and Quail in Kelowna. He started on the eighth hole and birdied three of the five par-5s with just one bogey. His Pro-Am team placed eighth. Chris Hinton of The Harvest won a threeman playoff and pocketed $2,500. Hinton, Rob Anderson of Kelowna Golf &CC and Ethan Danish of Two Eagles (West Kelowna) all carded 68s. Assistant Harvest pro Greg Giblin claimed $10,000 for a hole-in-one.

Vernon Chick Kickers froze the Okanagan Season Sista’s 7-0 at Marshall #3 Crystal Bergman was rock solid as she recorded her second straight shutout. Bergman’s best save came on a corner, as she dove and deflected the ball over the net. Centre midfielder Jen Kemper pulled the hat trick and Jenny Garnett had two goals. Garnett had the highlight of the night when she scored an over the shoulder goal from 25 yards. The Chick Kickers (4-1-0) got singles from Michelle Johnson and Robyn Sherwood.

VQA brushes back Setters Pub

The Vernon Liquor Store Winos clipped the Salmon Setters Pub 2-1 at Marshall #1. Cheryl Roddis sent a bullet to Harmony Crockett, who upped it to Sue Barss for VQA’s first goal. Ute Kintsel scored for her new team on a cross from Barss. Karen Benn did a great job in net for VQA (2-3-0).

Controllers cruise through Kaos

The Controllers stopped the Shuswap Kaos 5-0 at Marshall #4. Michele Wernicke powered the Controllers (2-1-1) with two goals and an assist. Leah Mulvhill took a pass from Wernicke and raced in alone, drilling it past the Kaos keeper. Newcomer Lena Dean was named player of the match with a goal and an assist. She banged home a loose ball after several chances in front of the net. Jacquie Nuyens took a pass from Dean to set up Wernicke from 18 yards, as the Controllers led 3-0 at the half. Felicia O’Gorman scored on a breakaway and Wernicke added another late. Mickey Templeton recorded the shutout. The Kaos dipped to 0-4-0.

Drillers derail Rosters

The Goplen Drillers knocked off Rosters Sports Pub 2-1 at Marshall #5. Rosters led early after Becky McLennan scored from a great cross from Renee Cooke.

Canadians drop semi Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Pee Wee AA Kal Tire Canadians lost 5-0 to Richmond in Sunday’s semifinal of the Lyle Nestegard U13 Baseball Tournament. Vernon went 1-1-1 in preliminary play, opening with a 9-4 win over Ladner and then grounding Port Coquitlam 9-4 and tying Surrey 3-3. Starting pitcher Christopher McIntosh allowed just two hits and one run over five and 2/3rd innings against PoCo, fanning six batters. Game MVP Brayden Beacom came in to clean up and helped offensively with three hits and two RBI. Carter Morris, Landen Harison and Ryan Gamage all singled and Beacom drove in Morris and Harrison, in the first. Gamage

later stole home The fourth run came after a hard, line-drive double in the second inning by Eric Foufoulas, who was singled home by Ryan Vandersande. Vernon and Surrey both displayed dynamic defence Saturday afternoon with Gamage earning MVP by striking out three and knocking in one run. Foufoulas started and mowed down three in three 1/3 innings, getting stellar help from infielders Jack Janzen, Morris and McIntosh, and outfielder Mathew Hansen. Vandersande, the only Vernon pitcher without a grandmother at the game, came in with the game on the line in the bottom of 7th. With a runner at third base, and no outs, he promptly struck out one, and got help from Morris with a great play at short to throw out a

runner at home. Vandersande also worked the extra inning, geting an infield ground out and two Ks. Morris singled and stole his way home in the fourth, while Hansen was knocked in by Foufoulas in the fifth after singling to centre and stealing second and third. Vernon’s third run came after a double by Harison and a Gamage single to score Harison. In Midget AA play, Shelby Hartwig pitched a complete game no hitter in his first start of the year as the Vernon Canadians shelled Kelowna 10-0 at Marshall Field. Hartwig helped his cause by going 3-for-4 with a pair of triples, while Diego Oliver drove in two runs on two hits and Riley Preston registered two stolen bases and three walks.

Familiar faces in oldtimers tourney Morning Star Staff

They are coming here from Spokane, Edmonton, Calgary, Prince George, Vancouver, Nelson and everywhere in between. Most teams have been to the Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament in the past. The South Hill FC of Vancouver have never missed the MacDonald Park bavarian garden on a Victoria Day long weekend. South Hill, always the most popular group at the tourney, are one of 55 teams in the 35th annual extravaganza. “We love the positive energy the South Hill guys bring every year,” said tournament director Shelly Johnston. “We have no trouble filling all the divisions since everybody wants to keep coming back.” Johnston, of the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association, gave props to assistants Wendy Stevens, Karen Semph, Sue Barrs and Kelly

Megyesi, along with Marina Korberg of youth soccer, and the Vernon Soccer Association. There are seven divisions, including women’s 35+, where Vernon’s Dr. Lee Dental are defending champions. Dr. Lee open the 12-team grouping Saturday at 9 a.m. (Marshall Field #3) against the Coquitlam Stingers. The Big O Tire-Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos will represent Vernon in the 12-team men’s 50+ class. The Lake Monsters, who finished third last year, battle the Delta Stingers Saturday at 10:30 a.m. (Marshall #3). The Nelson Gunners, bolstered by several Vernon products, battle the North Island Spartans in their 55+ opener Saturday at 4:30 p.m. (Marshall Field #1). Finals go Monday at Marshall Field and MacDonald Park. The men’s 35+ and 45+ championship games go at 11:30 a.m. at Mac. Meanwhile, Turn-Key shut

down North Enderby Timber 3-0 in NASL action at Marshall #2. Noa Acri started the scoring about 20 minutes in on a run down the win, playing the ball nicely bottom corner past keeper Eon Ross. Play went back and forth for the next 30 before Turn-Key keeper Gregg Douma made the Total Restoration save of the game after a rebound went into the air and he weaved between two attackers to get the ball first, just off the goal line. Later in the second half, Chris Jahnig made some moves past two defenders and then dribbled around Ross to bury it calmly. It was a great way for Jahnig to finish his season since he is moving to Edmonton for a new career. Preston Tucker finished the scoring with a penalty shot. Turn-Key is 3-0-1. NET falls to 3-2. There were no results reported from the Monashee Surveying-Peters Tirecraft match at Marshall Field #5.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder A DEAL THAT IS AN EXCEPTION In yesterday’s deal, declarer had to take three club finesses with Q-9-3 opposite A-J-10-2. This required running the nine, the lower “high” card, first, so that he could repeat the finesse two more times without needing an extra entry. I thought that was standard technique -- until I saw this deal. South gets to five clubs. West leads the spade king. How should South approach the play? North might have bid one no-trump, but two clubs was preferable. If South had interest in three no-trump, he could have cue-bid in spades. Also, if South had something like queen-

doubleton of spades, he ought to have been the notrump declarer, not North. South has two losers in the black suits. So he must find East with both redsuit kings, unlikely as that might seem. And being in the dummy for the last time, declarer has to take three finesses, two in diamonds and one in hearts. How? If South runs the diamond nine, what does he do next? If he leads dummy’s diamond 10, he will be stuck in his hand with the jack. And if he plays the queen, East can cover with the king to put South into his hand. Instead, declarer must start with dummy’s diamond queen. If East covers, South wins, plays a diamond to dummy’s

nine, and takes the heart finesse. Or, if East plays low, South unblocks his jack, then continues with the diamond nine. He can take all three finesses and make his contract. Bridge retains its appeal primarily because you can rarely use the words “always” and “never.”

The need to make any changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve and how it is governed is questionable, says a local economist. UBCO professor John Janmatt says the controversial Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act 2014, currently in the hands of Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, stirs a litany of questions. “How broken is the current system and does it really need to be changed?” he said. “Are we suffering that much and, if there are these big glaring problems, lets see them rather than these simple little anecdotes of the odd person who doesn’t like it.” Janmatt believes amendments to the act do not address the concerns outlined in the auditor general’s 2010 review of the ALC, which noted mapping of the reserve’s boundaries is weak and oversight of the “delegated authorities” needs strengthening. Those delegated authorities include a couple of regional governments and the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission, which has been handling review of requests

“Does it really need to be changed?” — John Janmatt

for boundary adjustments and removal of chunks of the ALR pertaining to the oil and gas industry since the mid-’90s. The massive amount of legislative change in the province — the creation of the new Water Sustainability Act, the Parks Amendment Act, the Agricultural Land Commission amendments — is pegged by pundits as paving the way for oil and gas expansion, but Janmaat sees another culprit in the ALC amendments. “Most of the applications come from municipalities and developers not from farmers,” he said. “So it’s not really about benefiting farm families, but it’s about enabling landowners to either get their land directly out of the ALR or at least to subdivide it or start new activities so they can get new activities out of the

land.” Janmaat’s has mapped the lands removed and added to the ALR in this province, and the results clearly indicated land is being taken out in the Kootenays, along the border where wealthy Calgarians might want to shop for small estate lands, and in pricey coastal communities. The amendments also place subdivision decisions in the hands of local panels, Janmaat noted, saying there is already research to show this approach has not worked well with the six regional panels created in 2002. Drawing on a study done by Ryan Green, out of the Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Victoria, he suggested local panels are far more susceptible to listening to the local advocates and approving subdivisions than a Agricultural Land Commission body.

Lawyers rally behind RBC Cup Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Nixon Wenger Lawyers did not hesitate to support the RBC Cup when asked to participate as a sponsor. Jonathan Jones, a Nixon Wenger partner, believes the RBC Cup is a fantastic community event. “It’s one of those things that helps bring a community together,” said Jones. “So, being able to contribute makes us feel that we are a part of it.” The firm was a major contributor to the 650 shirts and jackets supplied to the RBC Cup volunteers. “We’re very pleased with the design and quality of the apparel and proud to have our logo placed on it,” said Jones.

Rhythms of India celebrated in Ta Ki Ta Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Those who have ever wanted to take in the exotic sights, sounds and tastes of India don’t have to buy a plane ticket to visit the South Asian nation. Ta Ki Ta is an evening of classical Indian dance and music combined with a fusion of Bollywood and bhangra styles, with some sweet and aromatic foods to help it all go down. The show takes place at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre, Saturday, May 24. Ta Ki Ta, which is a rhythm done with a drum or foot in classical Indian dance and music, features a number of local and visiting artists whose aim is to keep it light while also providing a look at the true classical form and educating the audience in the process, said event organizer Melanie Piorecky, whose own Ananda Dance will perform at the event. “Pure classical Indian dance and music can be hard to understand or appreciate for people who have not been exposed to it,” she said. “Indian music has a unique rhythmic cycle, with counts of three, 7 and even 14 being possible. And the dances tell stories of gods and goddesses from Hinduism, not a typical part of our western experience.” Piorecky became interested in classical Indian dance after attending a workshop in Bharatanatyam, a form of dance from Southern India, with former Vernon resident Devaki Thomas. “I had done a bit of formal dance lessons before, but not much. The movements of Bharatanatyam felt natural and beautiful, and 15 years later I am still dancing after seeking out teachers in Calgary, Chennai, India, and Vancouver,” said Piorecky. After completing her graduation or “arangetram,” an intense two-hour performance with live music, in Calgary in 2007, Piorecky began to teach and choreograph the art form, and formed the Ananda Dance in Vernon. “Bharatanatyam has been the style I have learned and love. It represents the element of fire,” she said. “I do recognize the lack of a south Indian audience to fully understand the pure classical pieces, so I have created shorter, more upbeat items using my style as the base and incorporating Bollywood.” Piorecky’s first teacher, Thomas, a founder of the Komasket Music Festival and well known in the Okanagan as percussionist/singer with the band Samsara, is returning to Vernon to perform at the show. Thomas will feature a dance she has been studying in London, England the past three years, the ancient statuesque form of Odissi from India’s eastern province of Orissa. “She has an intimate understanding of Indian dance and music from her lifetime of playing and dancing,” said Piorecky. “The Odissi form represents the element of water, and has a beautiful flow and sensual curves of body and hands.”

Trisha Rampersad spins in a Kathak dance. Also performing is South African-born dancer Trisha Rampersad, who is now based in Vancouver and performs the classical dance of Kathak. “Kathak is Persian influenced, as seen in the costume, and involves story telling, spinning really fast, and intricate footwork to unique rhythmic cycles,” said Piorecky. Other dancers include Jenny Rae Waters, who has studied tribal belly dance as well as classical Indian dance with Thomas and now Piorecky, Marie Articus and Terra MacDonald, who both dance Bharatnatyam with Ananda Dance, and Joy Farr, of Lumby, who will perform a tribal belly dance, which fuses folkloric styles from the Middle East, North African, Spain, and India. The Vernon Punjabi Heritage Society will kick things up with a lively folk dance known as bhangra, originated in the area of Punjab, a northern province in India. Musical performers include sitar player James Hamilton, who has spent more than 25 years studying the music of South Asia and particularly India, percussionist/bassist/keyboardist Jacob Chatterton, also formerly of Samsara, and Daniel Stark on the sarod, a lute-like stringed instrument used in classical Indian music. “Combined with percussion and the sarod, it will create a wonderful ambiance and the right energy to start the show. We are also performing some dances to the live music,” said Piorecky. Serving as master of ceremonies is Sharmila Acharya, who is no stranger to Indian classical dance having danced for more than 10 years including in India. Those who purchase a ticket can also enjoy a combination of samosas, pakoras, chutney, sweets and chai tea. “I wanted to include this with the show because the Indian way is to be hostly, feeding anyone who comes – another thing I love about Indian culture, in addition to its dance,” said Piorecky. The May 24 performance of Ta Ki Ta takes place at 7 p.m. at the Powerhouse Theatre on 35th Avenue. Tickets are $35/adult, $20/12 and under, at the Ticket Seller.

after 30 years for a charity game. “The Good Game is Erinara Studio’s first production, and we experienced a successful run in Kelowna last fall,” said Irwin, who also produces the show. “Audiences loved it. The curtain rose up, the puck dropped and the laughs came easy.” Veteran actor Ray Mordan, who plays Charlie Boyd, the wisecracking goalie who may have received one too many pucks to the head, says The Good Game is a slice of pure hockey Canadiana that everyone will enjoy. “Everyone, and cer-

will relate to this play. Husbands, sons, or

boyfriends that play or used to play hockey will relate closely to the characters in this production, and the entire audience will enjoy the humour,” he said. Well-paced dialogue by Quesnel playwright Roy Teed produces laughs that echo throughout the locker room as bawdy banter gets passed between flamboyant FrenchCanadian player Francois “Pinkie” Lavac (Henri Fournier), former team captain Zach Taylor (Brad Hull), whose NHL dream was dashed by injuries, and the team’s enforcerturned-English-professor C.J. MacDonald (Troy Berg). Former radio reporter Samantha Brown (Kim Fournier), a playby-play announcer (Zyan Panagopoulis) and his press box commentator (Richard Knight) from the team’s heyday round out the roster of colourful characters “(We’re) in the thick of the hockey playoff season, which feeds perfectly the show’s theme and atmosphere and the soundtrack is a trip down memory lane that draws on Canadian pop hits from the ‘70s that everyone will recognize and enjoy,” said Mordan. In addition to being an evening of laughter and locker room barbs, the event is a major fundraiser for the Vernon Legion. Doors to The Good Game open at the Schubert Centre (3503 30th Ave.) May 23 at 6:30 p.m. Curtain rises at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance at the Schubert Centre or the Ticket Seller box office in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

The president of the fraternity, Teddy (Zac Efron), promises to keep it down to a dull roar, but by the next day it is apparent that the frat house is going to be host to non-stop wild parties. When Mac and Kelly decide to take matters into their own hands, the war is on between Neighbors. We say, “Neighbors delivers exactly what you would expect from frat-house comedy.” TAYLOR: There is a philosophy, espoused by Seneca, that if one lowers one’s expectations one is likely to be disappointed less. By subscribing to this standard to the point of a social norm, I guess we can expect future generations to be satisfied by exploiting pop culture that our grandparents would find baffling. At the same time, I found myself laughing more than once at the sophomoric, self-referential irony of Seth Rogen, bearer of a personality that provides at least enough opportunity for a film career, playing the dumb stoner. Even the plot lines of Rogen’s

I’m fed up of his stoner role in all of his movies where he does absolutely nothing and his comedy routine is just like him when he gets high, blaaaaah. Hopefully now after making this he realizes that he’s in his 30s and he can’t keep making crap that isn’t funny. There are a couple of funny moments in Neighbors but none of them are rib ticklers. Maybe I’m too old or maybe it was because I wasn’t intoxicated to really enjoy this movie. No, I don’t agree with that, it just isn’t that

TAYLOR: The frataged crowd is going to laugh, and even older curmudgeons like us may laugh here and there. To be clear, I don’t think it’s necessarily that Rogen is stoned all the time that hinders his growth as an actor, but rather that he always plays a dumb guy, in an easily solved situation: just don’t be dumb.

Caetani centre opens to live music The descendent of Italian royalty, Caetani and her family moved to Vernon and settled on the property on Pleasant Valley Road in the 1920s. After her father, Leone, died, Sveva was kept in isolation in the house by her mother until years later, she emerged to become a well-known artist, teacher and arts advocate. Sveva bequeathed her family’s home and grounds to the City of Vernon in her will, with the wish the property be utilized by local residents for artistic pursuits. Angelika Jaeger, co-chair of the Caetani Cultural Centre Society, says Caetani’s wishes continue to come to fruition with the addition of new public events at the house and property. “Even though Sveva was a ‘prisoner’ in her own house for a long time, she never forgot the world around her. With her bequest of the house for the use by the local arts community, she provided a great place for new endeavours,” said Jaeger. “This year we would like to extend the

The Caetani Cultural Centre has a few reasons to celebrate this summer and is kicking off what promises to be a busy season with its inaugural music series. The concerts will take place on the historical Vernon home’s grounds on select Sunday afternoons and will run from 2 to 4 p.m. Each concert will feature a local musical act and an artist/writer showcase. The music series kicks off May 25 with a performance by modern Celtic-folkrock band Cod Gone Wild. “We are extremely excited about this talented lineup of musicians for the inaugural Caetani Summer Music Series,” said series coordinator Andrew Mercer, who is also lead vocalist/guitarist with Cod Gone Wild. “All of these world-class musicians just happen to live right here in our own backyard and we have the opportunity to showcase them to our community.” This year marks the 20th anniversary of Sveva Caetani’s death on April 28, 1994.

high-energy glimpse into the workings of Santana and his band as they immerse themselves in sultry Latin rhythms. The performances are sharp and punchy, with Santana’s guitar at the fore but not overshadowing the songs. Lester Mendez’s production work is clean and detailed with emphasis on capturing ensemble performances. As such, the energy level is high throughout Corazon. Standout tracks include Margarita feat. Romeo Santos, and Besos de Lejos with Gloria Estefan (sounds like Brazil ’66). As for Santana, his performances are fiery and tasteful. Less compression might change textural horizons and push him in different directions but that’s negotiable. His trademark sound is there. For faithful fans, Corazon is a welcome move away from Santana’s forays into contemporary condo-pop and unnecessary classic rock albums. It’s expressive and cutting, hitting tight Latin arrangements, moody jams, and passionate instrumentals with a gaze that’s focussed south of the border.

exican guitar hero Carlos Santana’s quest to top himself and find new avenues of sixstring expression pay off on his latest album, Corazon. Always a modernist, Santana has Dean Gordon-Smith embraced the age of duets and features full on, being an early advocate on Supernatural. Nevertheless, Corazon is a look back to roots and is also an update of Santana’s core sound: percussion, horns and wailing lead guitar. This time around it’s heavily augmented by Spanish singing Latin performers (Juanes, Gloria Estefan, Pit Bull, Miguel, etc.) Santana will win some new fans from the Latin music community. Corazon, despite its guests and feature-laden program, doesn’t boast any meal ticket pop songs. It’s the better for it as the material offers a

Cycling the Ride2Survive Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

It’s an understatement to say that Rick Plovie enjoys cycling. And he’s found a way of taking his passion for the sport to a new level, by fundraising for a cause in which he believes. For the third year in a row, Plovie is busy training and fundraising for Ride2Survive, a one-day Kelowna to Vancouver cycling challenge that raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society — $2.5 million since the first race 10 years ago. “I was drawn to R2S for two simple reasons: I enjoy cycling and R2S’s purity of purpose,” he said, while taking a break from his intense training regime. “R2S raises money for cancer research, with all money going directly to the Canadian Cancer Society; there is no administration, overhead or advertising fees for this event — 100 per cent of the funds we raise goes to cancer research. Like all families, Plovie’s has not been immune to cancer. His grandmother had lung cancer, his uncle colon cancer and his brother a childhood tumour. And his mother is currently in remission from cervical cancer. Ride2Survive is 140 riders on a 400 km journey with 12,000 feet of climbing, and Plovie’s goal is to raise $5,000. He raised $5,700 his first year and $6,800 last year. All riders pay their own costs to participate, and work tirelessly months before the ride to raise sponsorship. “Teams of volunteers give generously of their time and their spirit to ensure this ride is successfully supported,” said Plovie, who works in mine maintenance at Teck/Highland

Rick Plovie (front left) is once again taking part in the Ride2Survive. The tenth annual event takes place June 21 and Plovie’s personal fundraising goal for the Canadian Cancer Society is $5,000. Valley Copper in Logan Lake. He works 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., gets home at 7:30 p.m., hits the gym and trains in the dark. As he works four days on and four days off, it gives him not only time to train, but time with his family. “I plan my time so I’m effective with the family,” said Plovie, who usually trains at 6 a.m. when he’s home in Vernon and enjoys heading out on group rides with the Vernon Wheelers. “I was a mountain biker for years but always wanted to road bike. People think I’m a nut, but if you want to be the best, you have to train hard.” And, while training takes up a good deal of his free time, Plovie makes sure he spends plenty of time with his supportive family: wife Samantha and kids Mackenzie and Spencer. “The devotion and support of the family is crucial,” said Plovie, adding that he also

manages to find the time to enjoy his other favourite pastimes, hunting and fishing. While Plovie is busy training to take part in the June 21 ride, cycling has also become a way of life and he is a passionate advocate for safe cycling. “Cycling is about safety and health and it drives me nuts to see people out there riding without helmets — you have to be safe on the road,” said Plovie, who averages 6,000 to 7,000 km a year on his bike. “I want to get more people involved in cycling. People here don’t seem to respect or understand cyclists, whereas in Vancouver they’ll slow down, they let you in. Here, I’ve had bottles thrown at me or people trying to cut me off.” But as he gets ready for Ride2Survive, Plovie blocks out all distractions and looks forward to helping to keep the other cyclists motivated. “We have people who are cancer survivors join us on the

R2S team, we want to support them even if they can’t do the entire 400 kilometres. “When riding a bike at this level, you have to block out the physical and mental pain. But when you get to the finish line and there are 2,500 people waiting to cheer you on, it’s very emotional. “Everyone needs a reason to be connected to their community and sometimes we need to stop and say what am I going to do for my community?” To make a donation towards Plovie’s fundraising goal, go to www.ride2survive.ca and click on donate now and scroll to his name on the R2S team list. “With months of preparation, sacrifice and training from myself and those around me, I am now ready to take on this challenge. Your generous donation and strong words of encouragement will fuel me as I cycle up and over the two Coquihalla summit peaks, knowing we can make a difference.”

The Shadow of Death. Ecclesiastes has recorded his conviction on the state of the dead who perish and pass into eternal oblivion in the grave. Though death is the destiny of all flesh, yet man should not be despondent, brooding over what he cannot change, rather he should exact what joy from life in the blessing received: bread, wine, joy, ointment, garment, and wife. God has given these things to man that he might have some measure of happiness amidst life’s sorrows and vexations.

ing a lengthy phone conversation while entertaining others is rude. Before you begin playing next time, all of you should discuss adding a rule saying that anyone who stays on the phone longer than 60 seconds must withdraw from the game or forfeit her turn until the conversation is over. But we also notice that you are meeting at Jennie’s and

nowhere else. Why not alternate homes and give her a break? Dear Annie: “Thought I’d Found the One” was dating a divorced man for three years. They traveled, spent weekends together and got along well, but he didn’t want to live together. My husband and I have been married for 15 years, and we’ve never lived together. We both were divorced and comfortable in our own homes and with our “alone” time. We find it a treat to see each other for midweek date nights, and we enjoy traveling and weekends together. Another couple we know just bought sideby-side condos. The commitment to each other doesn’t have to mean being together 24/7. — L. Dear Annie: Tell “Anonymous” to call her local veterinarian to see whether he has a use for the empty prescription pill containers. Our vet was very happy to take all of the pill bottles we could give him. — Barb

ear Annie: My friends and I play cards once a week at “Jennie’s” house. However, when the phone rings, she answers it while the game is in progress.

Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s light on fuel

By Alexandra Straub

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs.) It’s not a svelte vehicle. Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers. It’s not a cramped vehicle. And behind the third row of seats, there’s a cargo capacity of 385L. It’s an accommodating vehicle. So when I knew that I’d be logging more than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps you’d think I’m a little crazy to want to take this (relatively) heavy and large SUV along for the ride. Normally, I would too. But there’s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: Hybrid. As I entered the Flaxen (aka beige) adorned cabin, I reached for the “Eco Mode” button

underneath the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push. The Eco mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to help save fuel.

It was truly a Buick like no other By Bob McHugh

Price Check: 2011 - 2013 Buick Regal (May 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2011 Regal CLX Turbo $19,000 to $23,000 2012 Regal Turbo $22,000 to $26,000 2013 Regal Turbo $26,000 to $30,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2011 to 2013 Buick Regal: 2011: The spare tire size was listed incorrectly, with the letter “T” missing on the Tire Pressure Label. The label should properly indicate the spare tire size as T125/80R16. Since this does not pose any risk to vehicle safety, no corrective action is required.

‘‘

Regal’s crash test performance was also outstanding and earned it a “top safety pick” rating.

The all-new 2011 model year edition of Regal was built in Germany and based on a rigid Euro-car chassis, and could be ordered with a turbocharged engine and had a driver-selectable suspension system. It would also be the first Buick to offer a manual transmission, since the 1980s. Not since the days of Grand National, a big engine rocket, last produced in 1987 (and still cherished by Buick enthusiasts), had we seen a hard-core sports version of the Buick Regal. Yet, this Regal is a very different beast. While it may not possess the awesome straight-line power of its ancestor, it’s a hoot to drive for different and probably better reasons. It was based on the German designed Opel Insignia, which was the 2009 European Car of the Year. The 2011 Regal was made in Germany but then (2012 and on) all production was switched to Oshawa, Ontario. The overall design profile of this Regal is coupe-like, even though it has four doors. Up front, there’s a modern version of Buick’s traditional “waterfall” grille and an extra-large version Buick’s tri-shield emblem. At the rear, the sloping roofline connects to a short deck with distinctive and large wrap-around taillights. The turbo engine versions of Regal should definitely be on the checklist of buyers looking at mid-sized sporty frontdrive premium sedans such as the Volvo S60 or Acura TSX. Regal has a longer wheelbase (a more comfortable ride) and comes with a larger trunk. The base CXL trim comes with a 2.4L direct-injected engine rated at 182 horsepower (136 kW) mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. It’s a drive combination that provides decent power and very good highway fuel economy, rated at 6.5L/100 km. The CXL Turbo trim, on the other hand, comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine that’s rated at 220 horsepower (164 kW). The auto transmission is a crisper-shifting six speed unit and its 6.9L/100 km highway fuel economy is still good, considering the extra power. Buick expanded the Regal line to four for the 2012 model year, with the addition of eAssist and GS editions. The eAssist edition has a mild-hybrid powertrain that uses an electric motor/lithium-ion battery pack combo to boost power to road wheels when needed, and conserves fuel. It’s the most economical edition of Regal with a frugal city/highway fuel economy rating of 8.3/5.4 L/100km respectively. The GS edition is a more potent version of Turbo that rides lower and comes with Brembo front disc brakes and 19-inch or 20-inch (optional) wheels. Under hood its turbocharged engine can produce 255-horsepower and 295 ft-lb of torque. Acceleration to 100 km/hour is under 7-seconds and its highway fuel economy is 7.4 L/100 km. The base (CXL/2.4-litre engine) edition was dropped for the 2013 model year and trim levels offered were eAssist, Turbo, Turbo Sport, and GS. On the safety front, standard equipment includes a stability control system and the OnStar emergency service. It comes with six air bags and rear seat side air bags were an option and standard on GS. Regal’s crash test performance was also outstanding and earned it a “top safety pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. So far, overall reliability has been “average” according to Consumer Reports, but it did get a “recommended buy” rating and is one of the top-rated vehicles in its class.

2012: On vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, the Body Control Module (BCM) may have been incorrectly programmed during the manufacturing process, thereby preventing parking lamp activation. Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module. 2012/2013: Vehicles equipped with eAssist, the Generator Control Module (GCM) may not function correctly and cause a gradual loss of battery charge. This will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp and eventually the engine may stall. In addition, there may be a burning or melting odour, smoke and possibly a fire in the trunk. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the Generator Control Module. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

His loving personality touched many people and his presence Įlled a room to the brim. His love and devoƟon for his family was evident in his acƟons every single day. He was a fantasƟc cook and loved children. Denji’s huge heart of gold was always in the right spot. He would drop everything to help anybody, anyƟme, anywhere. His passion was driving.

June 6, 1939 - May 13, 2014 Ursula showed such strength, courage and determinaƟon over the past seven years, but sadly we must now say good bye. Ursula was predeceased too soon by her husband, Bernie Kaempf, in 2004. She will be lovingly remembered by her: daughter, Tamara (Brad) Turner of High Level, Alberta͖ son, Frank (Tanya) Kaempf of Vernon͖ her grandchildren: Tyler, DusƟn, Keefer, Jordan, Kelsey, Taylor͖ brother, Heinrich Hollmann (Karin) of Gutersloh, Germany͖ sister, Heidi Oltmanns of Hamburg, Germany͖ nieces, nephews, and numerous friends. As well, she leaves behind many close, long-Ɵme friends that have become extended family to Ursula and her family. Ursula was born June 6, 1939, in Bielefeld, Germany. She immigrated to Canada in 1967 to Nelson, BC, with her husband and young daughter, Tamara. They seƩled in Vernon in 1971, where Frank was born. Ursula was employed for many years by the Hudson Bay Company, H&P Sausage and Siedmann Sausage. Ursula was well known for her ͚Bauernmalerei’ painƟng, spending many years at CreaƟve Chaos and other craŌ fairs. Ursula loved the Canadian outdoors and enũoyed everything they had to oīer: skiing for many years at Silver Star, hiking and canoeing with her friends of the Vernon Outdoors Club and enũoying many years of camping. Ursula was acƟvely involved in the Edelweiss Society of Vernon and was an early founding member of the 32 year old infamous (beruchƟgt)͞Kaīeeklatsch͟. A CelebraƟon of Life service will be held at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home at 10 am on Saturday, May 17th, 2014. A gathering with refreshments will follow at the Eagles Hall. In lieu of Ňowers, those wishing to do so, may make donaƟons in memory of Ursula to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Vernon Hospice House. Online messages of condolence may be made in the obituary secƟon at pleasantvalleyĬ.com. For those ladies wishing to do so, by Ursula’s reƋuest, she would love it if you would wear a scarf to the service, in memory of her love of fashion, especially scarves.

Birthday

Natalie (Klim) Welker, longtime resident of Vernon, will celebrate her 90th Birthday this week with family and friends at Special Parties. She and husband Joe raised three children, Patricia, Sharon and Wayne, while in the orchard business. Over the years she found time to be active in community organizations and her church. Continues to enjoy flower and vegetable gardening along with caring for the home she has resided in for 54 years, on East Vernon Road. Having Saturday breakfast in town each week with a group has become a tradition. Daughters and 2 grandchildren travelled to be here to help celebrate this occasion.
