Teachers across British Columbia begin one-day rotating strikes next week, with North Okanagan-Shuswap School District teachers walking out on Tuesday and teachers in the Vernon School District going on the picket line on Thursday. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation plans to start one-day rotating strikes at schools around the Jim Iker province on Monday, rejecting the offer of a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year. BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the bonus doesn’t make up for the government’s wage offer of 6.5 per cent over six years. A simultaneous threat to cut teacher wages five per cent or more because of strike action is

“just so disrespectful, so unnecessary, and we’ll be dealing with it at the Labour Relations Board,” said Iker. Unless there is some compromise on major issues, one-day strikes with picket lines will be staged at one group of school districts in each of the first four days next week, with teachers returning to work across the province on May 30. Iker reiterated the union’s position that more pay, more teachers and a return to contract language guaranteeing class size and special needs support are needed to reach a settlement. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the province’s 60 school districts, informed the union last week that a five per cent pay cut will be put in place “soon” in response to the first phase of strike action. Cameron said the union’s latest wage demand amounts to 15.9 per cent over four years, far beyond what other provincial public service unions have received.

maintains its wage proposal is 13.25 per cent over four years, including cost-of-living increases based on each year’s inflation rate. Vernon School District superintendent Joe Rogers said the picket lines are across the board, with CUPE’s support staff members also not reporting to work on May 29. “We are encouraging parents to keep their children home that day,” said Rogers. “We do not have enough people in the building, in some cases we’ll have a principal or viceprincipal in the school but we will not be offering any instruction. “If parents are willing to cross the picket line, the kids will be supervised by a principal or vice-principal so it depends on how many kids show up, but I can’t let them in the gym or the shops.” The BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, refusing supervision outside classrooms and communication with school management. Rotating strikes were also authorized by the BCTF membership in a March

vote, and beginning to shut down schools could result in an effort to cut teacher pay by 10 per cent. “The school board is hoping they get back to the bargaining table and solve the issue so we can get back to business as usual,” said Rogers. “Our strike isn’t until Thursday (May 29) so if there is anything on the table, maybe we’ll luck out and have something resolved by then. “It’s certainly not great timing for students, especially Grade 10s and 12s who are preparing for provincial exams.” Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the signing bonus and reducing the contract term from 10 years to six were significant efforts to move toward a settlement. “Unfortunately the announcement today says that the BCTF feels that disrupting classrooms, affecting children and their families is going to help to reach a settlement,” Fassbender told reporters in Vancouver. — With files from Tom Fletcher, Black Press

RBC fans show their colours Shots spark further look H roger knox

Morning Star Staff

ans and Judy Madsen had been skiing at Sunshine Village in Banff when the Yorkton couple got the news. Their beloved Yorkton Terriers had made the RBC Cup Canadian Junior A hockey championship final. So, realizing Vernon – site of the RBC Cup tournament – wasn’t that far from Banff, the Madsens packed up the ski gear and headed to the North Okanagan for Sunday’s final at Kal Tire Place. “I brought my stuff with me, just in case we got to the final, and it’s not that far to drive,” said Hans, who is “past pension age” and a retired Hydro power line contractor. His “stuff ” was his orange Yorkton Terriers hoodie, his orange cornrow beaded wig and his paint. Yes, paint. Hans’ “artist,” Judy, decked out her husband’s facial hair in the Terriers’ orange, white and black logo. “Wherever we can go to cheer on the boys, we go,” said Hans who, along with Judy and about, oh, 400 other Yorkton fans left Kal Tire Place happy. They watched the Saskatchewan champs rally from a 3-1 deficit with less than three minutes remaining in regulation time to beat the Ottawa valley’s Carleton Place Canadians 4-3 in overtime. It was the Terriers’ first-ever national championship. Carleton Place didn’t have the fan support Yorkton had, but they were aided by some local students. Joel Van De Leest, Nick Mitchell, Sam Knox and Sean Howard, all of Vernon

Yorkton, Sask.’s Hans Madsen shows his colours as he cheers for the Terriers in Sunday’s rBC Cup final at kal Tire Place Secondary, and Tyson Sampert of Fulton Secondary, decided at the last minute – 2:30 p.m., two hours before face-off – to become Carleton Place supporters. The quintet decked themselves in Carleton Place’s blueand-yellow colours, complete with yellow sunglasses and blue-and-yellow face paint. “We were surrounded by Yorkton fans but we were still cheering loud,” said Knox. “One Canadian guy (Andy Sturtz) even pointed at us after he scored a sweet goal.”

A crowd estimated at 2,500 took in the final game. Not bad considering the host team, the Vernon Vipers, were not in the gold-medal match, having been eliminated in Saturday’s semifinal, 6-3, by the Terriers. So while there was no storybook ending this time around – the Vernon Lakers beat the New Westminster Royals 6-5, also in overtime, in the 1990 Canadian championship game at the Civic Arena – tournament organizers were still pleased with how the 10-day event unfolded.

“It went fantastic,” said chairperson Mike Lane. “The only thing we didn’t get was the Vipers being in the final. Other than that, everything went off without a hitch. The final was an exciting overtime game. We can’t complain. “We had a phenomenal crowd, 2,500 people here, which is a bigger crowd than normal for a regular season Vipers game. We’re really happy the city came out to support it even though the home team wasn’t in the final.” Added RBC Cup events chairperson Don Klepp: “It’s been exciting hockey, that’s the No. 1 thing all the way through. We wanted to put on a first class event, and all the feedback says we have.” The two years of work that went into hosting the national championship was worth it for Lane and his committees. “I made a point of talking to all the teams and to a lot of people, and the biggest thing we were going for was the player experience and I think we nailed it,” said Lane. “Every team was just in awe right from the get-to from when the teams landed in Kelowna to arriving here in the building, seeing all of the banners and seeing how big and bright the building is. “How we treated them with their team hosts, all of the volunteers were lights-out. The teams loved it, the fans loved it. I think we did Vernon proud.” While the final numbers aren’t in financially, Lane expected the news to be “good” when things are finalized. The 2015 RBC Cup tournament will be held in Portage la Prairie, Man.

Reports of shots fired at an Ashton Creek property on Trinity Valley Road have helped speed up an RCMP investigation into a suspected drug lab at the site. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP had been conducting an investigation on the rural property for several months concerning a possible drug lab producing synthetic drugs. When a “shots fired” report from the property came in Monday, the investigation was moved forward. “Our officers responded and five suspects were taken into custody, three men and two women,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Tuesday. The suspects were slated to appear in court Tuesday to face charges of production of a synthetic drug, stolen property and firearms offences. Molendyk confirmed shots were fired but could not say why they were fired. There were no injuries to any of the suspects. It is expected the investigation will take several days to complete and clean-up the scene. A Hazmat team from Vernon was dispatched to Enderby to decontaminate officers involved in the investigation. “Our officers remain at the scene of this rural property while specialized police units and government environmental agencies conduct their investigation of the property,” said Molendyk. “At this time we believe there Switchboard: 545-3322 is no danger or risk to the public from this ndex property.” Molendyk Arts...........................A10 said the propClassifieds.................A31 erty was “strateEditorial.......................A8 gically located,” adding that Letters........................A9 the driveway Lifestyles...................A12 into the propSports.......................A25 erty was “threequarters of a Vol. 26 • No. 126— 40 Pages kilometre long.”

Negotiator ends standoff Kelowna home invasion suspects surrender; case may have Vernon ties Morning Star Staff

Five people are in Kelowna RCMP custody for unrelated matters after police zeroed in on the suspects in a Monday morning home invasion robbery. The investigation revealed the case could have ties to Vernon. On Monday at 8:55 a.m. Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of a home invasion in the 1100 block of Findlay Road. “A 41-year-old Kelowna man was at home in bed when two men kicked in the door and threatened him at gunpoint,” said Kelowna RCMP spokesperson Const. Kris Const. Clark Clark. “The two suspects fled the scene with a small amount of cash and could not be located. The two men were later identified by police and efforts continued to bring them into custody. Police eventually tracked the pair to a residence on the 700 block of Bernard Avenue.” Due to the nature of the call and the risk to public safety, the Southeast District Emergency Response Team was engaged and established containment around the residence. An RCMP negotiator made contact with the suspects who eventually surrendered peacefully at about 1 a.m. Tuesday. Three other individuals were arrested inside the home for unrelated offences and police seized stolen property believed to be associated to several investigations in Vernon and Penticton. All five were expected to appear in court on Tuesday.

Clarence Fulton grads Ashley Stragier (left), Kolten Kirschner and Sydney Hofer invite the community to come support a fundraiser for fellow graduate Dennon Leibel, who is battling cancer. A garage sale, hot dog sale, bottle drive, road hockey tourney and sale of Do it for Dennon bracelets will all take place this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Community rallies to ‘Do it for Dennon’

Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

At 17, Dennon Leibel should be looking forward to graduation and enjoying his last year of high school. Instead he is travelling back and forth from B.C. Children’s Hospital between cancer treatments during his battle with Ewing’s sarcoma. Which is why Leibel’s classmates at Clarence Fulton, as well as his hockey family, are rallying support for him and his family. All proceeds from Saturday’s Fulton Grad Garage Sale will go to Leibel and his family. There will also be hot dog sales, bottle drive, a road hockey tournament and sale of Do it for Dennon bracelets. The multi-faceted fundraiser gets underway at 8 a.m. at Clarence Fulton and wraps up at 1:30 p.m. Anyone wanting to donate items to the garage sale can do so between 3 and 8 p.m. Friday at the school. “When we heard about Dennon we were already doing all this and we thought why not help him out,” said fellow grad Ashley Stragier, who has known Leibel since elementary school. “It just makes sense, he’s in our grad class.” The entire class of 2014 is hopeful that chemotherapy treatments line up so that Leibel can walk across the stage and be a part of grad with them. Meanwhile, Leibel’s hockey fam-

ily is also cheering for the North Okanagan Knight Jr. B player, including some high-profile talent. Vernon Viper Colton Sparrow doesn’t know Leibel personally but wanted to do something for his fellow hockey player. With thanks to Kelsey Surowiec, Vipers marketing manager, for coming up with the idea, Sparrow spearheaded the creation of the Do it for Dennon bracelets, which are being sold around town. “I know that his career was just on the upswing and to get news like that (cancer) must have been pretty devastating for him,” said Sparrow, who feels blessed by his own good fortune. To help a member of the hockey family out was a no-brainer he said, as Sparrow had 1,000 bracelets made, distributing half to local high schools and selling the remainder at events such as the Vipers awards banquet. “We’ve been asking $5, anything more is appreciated,” said Sparrow. The response, with several schools already sold out, has been amazing. “Some of the bracelets have gone for $20 or $25,” said Sparrow. Anyone interested in purchasing a bracelet is urged to come down to the Grad Garage Sale Saturday at Fulton. You can also contact Sparrow or Surowiec, or check with the following secondary schools to see if they have any left: Pleasant Valley, Kalamalka, Fulton, Seaton or Vernon.

Busy long weekend for firefighters Jennifer Smith

Morning Star Staff

Alarm bells are ringing over a busy long weekend, but specifically Victoria Day, for Vernon firefighters. Crews helped clean up an alleged drug lab, attended two motor vehicle accidents (including extricating one occupant), knocked down a blaze in a vacant house, snuffed out some smouldering railway ties, attended several dumpster fires, doused a burning outhouse and extinguished a kitchen fire. The first fire took place Friday, shortly before midnight, in a pile of railway ties in the 4400 block of 31st St. “A fire had gotten inside the ties,” said Jack Blair, deputy chief of operations. “It’s being investigated.”

Author earns honour Morning Star Staff

A former Armstrong resident will take their place among an elite group as Okanagan College’s 2014 honourary fellow. An author of 30 children’s books and founder of KidsWWwrite, a website that publishes poems and short stories by young writers, Margriet Ruurs has dedicated her life to promoting literacy and giving children a place to express themselves creatively. “If this honour is a reflection of the impact KidsWWwrite has had on people, then I am thrilled,” said Ruurs, who used to live in Armstrong and now resides on Salt Spring Island. Ruurs will address graduates at the college’s spring convocation June 7.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option. Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

Keep your eyes on the road

nd in the knock me over with a feather department, people are addicted to their automobiles. I’m not sure what the City of Vernon was expecting when it commissioned a $32,000 household travel survey, but there hasn’t been a mass conversion to alternate modes of transportation. “It doesn’t seem like it’s working,” said Coun. Catherine Lord of efforts to shift residents from vehicles to bicycles, walking and transit. No kidding, especially if you have found yourself at virtual gridlock on 32nd Street, by Safeway, and praying you may eventually reach 43rd Avenue to make a right-hand turn. Or, there’s trying to turn left on to 30th Avenue as a steady stream of traffic on 25th Avenue means you wait through a couple of red lights. The survey shows the number of drivers in Vernon has gone from Richard Rolke 69.4 per cent in 2007 to 70 per cent in 2013, while transit, school, bus, walking, cycling and other forms of transportation have gone from a combined 13.2 per to 13.8 per cent. It’s quite likely more people would love to park their cars given skyrocketing fuel costs and bulging wastelines. The reasons for lacing up the runners or strapping on the bike helmet make complete sense. That is, of course, until a little thing called life gets in the way. “We have a family of six. What are we supposed to do, bike to Superstore and somehow manage to haul 10 bags of groceries back?” said resident Chris VanderMolen on The Morning Star’s Facebook page. And waiting for the bus may not be all that convenient when you have to pick up a kid from school and get them to their math tutor or job within half-an-hour, or have just a few minutes to drop one off at karate and the other at dance. Families have very active schedules

these days. There have also been suggestions that single-occupancy vehicles could be abandoned if more people walked or cycled to work, but what time would you have to wake up and leave your Okanagan Landing or Foothills home to hoof it to your job downtown or at the north end? And then there is an aromatic issue. “It’s not realistic to think people will just change clothes and be ready to work after sweating the climbs (hills) here,” said another resident on Facebook. In a presentation to city council, survey author Clark Lim said, “It’s a very walkable city and there’s a great downtown core. You can get many places without the automobile.” I’m not sure where Lim calls home, but it’s obvious he hasn’t spent a lot of time lugging shopping bags from the mall to Mission Hill or Bella Vista. With the survey in hand, city staff will now use the results to analyze trip patterns and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as establish future targets and update traffic growth models. Also under scrutiny will be evolving demographics as more seniors may lead to fewer cars on the road and extra bums on the bus. However, many seniors remain behind the wheel well into their 80s and 90s, so the link between an aging population and alternate modes of transportation may be slow to materialize, if at all. In the end, investments should continue to be made in transit and pedestrian trails as they are extremely critical to easing traffic congestion. The fact that walking increased by 23.7 per cent between 2007 and 2013 is impressive, as is the doubling of those using transit or cycling. But at the same time, city officials cannot forget the very realistic situations that families, workers and active seniors must face on a daily basis. The need for vehicles won’t disappear any time soon and long-term planning must ensure that travel networks keep us all driving firmly ahead.

The only disappointment about the 2014 RBC Cup Canadian Junior A hockey championship in Vernon was that the home team didn’t make it to the final. But they came close. The Vernon Vipers fell 6-3 (two empty-net goals) to the eventual champion Yorkton Terriers in Saturday’s semifinal. Vernon needed a thrilling overtime win Thursday against Toronto Lakeshore Patriots to secure a semifinal berth for the ninth time in 10 Canadian chamionship appearances. The Terriers beat the Carleton Place Canadians of the Ottawa Valley 4-3 in overtime in Sunday’s championship at Kal Tire Place to win its first national title. The 2014 tournament marked the second time Vernon has hosted the national championship tournament. The first was in 1990 and, like 2014, featured an overtime championship. That one, of course, had the Cinderella ending with the Vernon Lakers beating the New Westminster Royals at the Civic Arena. Both times, visiting teams and their fans raved about the way they were treated. This time, however, Vernon has a state-of-the-art hockey arena which certainly did not go unnoticed by the four visiting teams and their fans. Visitors were treated to North Okanagan hospitality, helped out by an incredible volunteer base, fabulous North Okanagan weather and spectacular scenery (which had visitors checking out real estate pages and websites) and first-class, all-out hockey. Kudos to the organizing committee who watched two years of preparations go off without a hitch. May it not be another 24 years before the RBC Cup returns.

New plan hurts recycling efforts

received the two blue recycling boxes, as well as the pamphlet detailing what would be accepted at the curb. I was most disturbed to find that not only would plastic bags not be accepted, but plastic over wrap, toilet paper wrap etc, also would not be accepted. Residents are directed to take these to their nearest depot. It would seem that the only depots are in Vernon. One of the 4 R's of recycling is to reduce, so I do try to purchase products with a minimum of packaging. Usually this means plastic over wrap. So, where is the incentive to reduce under this new plan? As a resident of Enderby, I walk to work. I also do most of my busi-

ness in Enderby, supporting local merchants, and walking to most of them. Now, I am to drive to Vernon,

how about SaturdayS? The city has given the nod to "Avenue Market". The Downtown Vernon Association is hoping people will come out and wander the streets, shopping and socializing. I wonder, has anyone involved in this vision ever been to the Penticton Farmers Market? That is a real experience and it brings the farmers in to sell their product, vendors of all kinds selling their wares and the downtown shops with their stock set up on the sidewalks, all kinds of food vendors. And people come from all over just for the experience. Now take a look at downtown Vernon on a Saturday. No one about, nothing happening. Dull. I personally work all week and do my grocery shopping Friday nights. Once done, I just want to get home and relax. I go up to Armstrong to the farmers market there on Saturdays. I am sure there are many Vernon shoppers would love to see the Avenue Market include the Farmers Market and be held on a Saturday. Why on earth would you want to have another event on the Friday nights when it could be so much more? Judy robinson highway conditionS I am writing to you to express concern about what I believe is an urgent road safety issue that concerns all road users in our province. The issue is particularly severe in the sections of Highway 1 that passes through the Rocky Mountain national parks so I am including my federal MP as well as

provincial MLAs on this issue. The problem is simple – poor or non existent lines to mark lanes, passing rules and the nearside edges of the lane. On a recent trip to Calgary and back using Highway 1, I watched drivers on three lane sections hesitate to pass, unsure if they or the oncoming traffic had the right to use the middle passing lane as the road markings were totally worn off. This is a fatal accident waiting to happen when oncoming drivers both decide they have the right to pass. At night the problem is acute on twisty, two-lane roads where it is hard to follow the road without lane markings, particularly in the rain. I recently drove at night from Vernon to Kamloops and again noticed there were significant stretches of this major road where lane markings were totally worn off. Suddenly I understood why we have so many head-on collisions in our region. The solution clearly has two parts and is so simple I can’t understand why action has not been taken. First, let’s use higher-quality paint that reflects headlights well and lasts more than one season. A recently built new section of Highway 97 south of Vernon has lost its markings after one season of sanding and plowing. This is just silly as we can’t afford to repaint every road in B.C. annually. But we do need to repaint the lines more frequently and that will no doubt mean that we all need to pay a few more pennies in tax to fund it, as government services at all

On behalf of the North Okanagan Optimist Club and our partners - the North Okanagan Early Years Council and Health Promoting Schools - we have to thank the entire community for supporting the second annual Unplug & Play Week. From the children and families playing to our generous sponsors to all the community groups and businesses who opened their doors even wider during the week - a tremendous thank you. Our children had a chance to see animals at Farmer Val's and Davison Orchards, try a new sport like fencing and curling or to build something out of cardboard boxes at the science centre. There was a chance for family fun at the Hillview Elementary Barn Dance or JW Inglis' road hockey game, yoga, library and so much more.

I am afraid that this is not an option so, my plastic bags and overwrap will now go into my garbage and then to the landfill. In addition, the two boxes take up more room. I simply do not have the space to store two large blue bins. Likely, I will just use the one, for paper products, which means additional items that could be recycled will now go in the garbage. This seems to be a very poorly planned change. I could care less that it is not costing me anything. Twenty dollars per year is a perfectly reasonable amount to pay for a good recycling program, and we had a perfectly good system. This is very unfortunate indeed. Jackie bland

Students ride the rails in Allaboard! W.L. Seaton drama students take a trip along the historical CPR for this B.C.penned musical revue

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

WVB2154

Kristin Froneman /morninG star

W.L. seaton secondary school student noah angel, standing, as conductor, enacts a scene with the cast from train musical Allaboard! the play opens at seaton’s 27th street theatre tuesday, may 27 and runs to saturday, may 31. A segment also shows the Chinese immigrants who were brought to Canada to build the rail line west. “It shows how the land was untouched and then man came along and it all changed,” said O’Brien. “There’s a lot of talk about decommissioned rail lines and what to do with them... This show shows that without the train we wouldn’t have had a country.” A musical revue in the true sense of the word, Allaboard! features 42 songs in all. Some of the songs are more known such as Roger Miller’s King of the Road and Gordon Lightfoot’s Railroad Trilogy, to more obscure tunes like White Train by ‘80s pop band Bananarama. The music also dips south of the border to traditional fare such as Alabami Bound and Chatanooga Choo Choo, said O’Brien, adding students Sheldon Graham and Will Friesen serve as musical directors and will perform the songs live with the help of Shane Ranger. “When you make history come to life

through dance, music and performance, it resonates more than just reading it in a history book,” she said. To help with the many dance numbers, including tap, Charleston, line dance, Highland and Irish dances, O’Brien has enlisted Grade 11 student Shelby Roehrig as chorographer. “The hardest thing coming into this is some (of the cast) are the same age and some are younger than me, so it’s been hard, and teenagers talk a lot,” laughed Roehrig, who has been involved in dance for 14 years. “My dance teacher is strict. I sort of knew where she was coming from and now I really know.” O’Brien and her stagecraft students have also been working hard building the set that replicates a railway, complete with tunnel and bridge. “In the original program, we did it where you had access from the side stage and everything was symmetrical,” she said. “For this show, I wanted to do an asymmetrical set. It posed some challenges, but I fell in love with

it. I tell people I live in a rock and I literally do.” While props include old steamer trunks and luggage, some of which were obtained from a call out to the public, the costumes have all been handmade by the students and took up a chunk of the show’s budget, said O’Brien. “The students came up with some great ideas to make the show feel as original as possible,” she said. Allaboard! will also be the first play that utilizes the school theatre’s new sound system. “The speakers from the ‘70s are gone and we have a new digital sound board, which matches the system at Powerhouse Theatre. Our students can learn on our system and then go to the community theatre and share their experience,” said O’Brien. Allaboard! departs at Seaton’s 27th Street Theatre Tuesday, May 27 and runs nightly at 7:30 p.m. to Saturday, May 31. A matinee takes place May 31 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 (all seats) and are available at the school by calling 250-542-3361.

Whether it’s along the Canadian Pacific Railway or the rail line that once traversed the Southern Interior’s Kettle Valley, there’s something about travelling by train that captures the landscape and diversity of a time gone past. The student cast and crew from W.L. Seaton Secondary School’s drama department are about to capture those times when they present the musical Allaboard!, which is set when the train was essential for connecting Canada’s provinces from east to west. “It’s a musical revue set when B.C. was in flux on whether it would become part of Canada or part of the U.S.,” said Seaton drama teacher Lana O’Brien, who serves as conductor for the production. Because of that threat, Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, had a mission to bring the CPR to the Pacific Coast so it would link the nation. Written by Bindon Kinghorn, theatre manager at the University of Victoria, with music by Dale McIntosh, then head of UVic’s music dept., Allaboard! holds a special seat for O’Brien, who appeared in the musical while a theatre student at UVic in 1992. More than two decades later, she is finally bringing it to the local stage. “I always wanted to stage it myself and finally the pieces fell into place. I had the right people,” she said. Although the original play had a cast of 21 actors, O’Brien says she has doubled that number for this production, adding the students had to audition to be a part of the class. “This was a talent audition. They had to show they could dance, sing and speak. It is very much an ensemble.” Set from the early part of the 1800s to the end of the century, the play has nine scenes that are all thematically linked. It goes from following a hobo hitching a ride as told in Woodie Guthrie lore to the Underground Railway, which in fact, was not a railway at all, but a link of secret escape routes for American slaves to get to the free states and Canada, said O’Brien.

Riveting doc exposes secret

Inventor Tim Jenison seeks to understand the painting techniques used by Dutch master Johannes Vermeer in the Vernon Film Society’s next screening, Tim’s Vermeer, Monday. For centuries, the paintings of Vermeer have left viewers awestruck with their almost photorealistic renderings of people and objects. The exact detail has sparked controversial theories from painter David Hockney (Secret Knowledge) and architecture professor Philip Steadman (Vermeer’s Camera), who suggest that Vermeer may have worked with a camera obscura to project an image onto a canvas. In Tim’s Vermeer, famed magicians Penn & Teller, who have used their conjuring knowledge and expertise to expose the tricks of other people’s trades, follow their friend Tim Jenison, a successful inventor of computer graphics equipment, as he sets out to prove his own theory about Vermeer’s methods by endeavouring to paint an exact replica of Vermeer’s The Music Lesson using a complex array of lenses, lightboxes and mirrors. Following Tim for over a year as he uses 17th-century technology to painstakingly recreate the materials and conditions of the painting’s hypothetical creation in his Texas garage, Tim’s Vermeer is “riveting ... a mesmerizing film that offers both an intriguing insight into genius and a convincing analysis of the unity of art and science,” said Mark Kermode, with The Guardian. Tim’s Vermeer screens at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7.

Penn Jillette, of Penn and Teller fame, watches as Tim Jenison attempts to solve the mystery on how Vermeer managed to paint so photo-realistically.

Sean Arthur Joyce didn’t know his grandfather very well. It was only after he was grown up that he learned that his family was heir to an experience that concerns more than four million Canadians. “I started to research and found out that my grandfather had been one of the home children, the very poorest of British children who were sent to Canada and other Commonwealth countries as indentured servants as young as five years old,” said Joyce, a B.C. writer and journalist, whose new book is Laying the Children’s Ghosts to Rest: Canada’s Home Children in the West. “These children were called ‘gutter trash.’ There was nothing for them, as their parents were destitute because of the changes of the industrial revolution. They received minimal, if any, schooling and were working on farms by the age of 10.” More than 100,000 children were sent to Canada, most

“A lot of people don’t know that this is part of their background...” — Sean Arthur Joyce through private and church organizations, most to the east. Joyce decided to find out what happened to the ones in Western Canada. “They were set apart from their communities, seen as lower class with bad breeding and few of them ever made it to high school,” said Joyce. “When I discovered my grandfather had been in the program, I was shocked. I consider myself a pretty well-educated Canadian, yet I had never heard anything about this in history. I wanted to fill in that gap about what happened in Western Canada.” Part of his research was on Dr. Barnardo’s program, which brought children to Vancouver Island and to what is now Fintry Provincial Park to learn orcharding skills. One of

these was Joe Harwood, who became one of Vernon’s early town fathers with a successful business, school and area of town named for him. Not every home child was so successful. “Many of them were unable to settle in one place, keep a job or socialize and many turned to alcohol and had broken marriages. We’re dealing now with their children and grandchildren,” said Joyce. “A lot of people don’t know that this is part of their background and even when the story has been told, there is a lingering subconscious effect down the generations. My book will help people get more information and reclaim their families’ individual past and achieve a certain amount of healing. “One of the most basic

aspects of a person’s self worth is their sense of identity. If they don’t know who they are, where they come from, it’s hard to have a sense of resolution.” Joyce combines his thoroughly researched historical material with memoir, what he was able to find out about his grandfather and interviews with some of the last of the home children. “I wanted to get beyond straight history and focus on the individual impacts on the children — to use it as a story of redemption. These were children from the lowest rung of society who were given the worst possible start yet many of them managed to create stable homes and families — quite an achievement,” he said. Joyce will be reading from Laying the Children’s Ghosts to Rest: Canada’s Home Children in the West Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives. For more information on the book and Joyce’s other publications, see his blog chameleonfire1.wordpress. com/?=home+children or his website www.chameleonfire.ca.

Optimist Club rewards essay winners Morning Star Staff

With “How Dreams Lead to Success” as their topic, secondary students throughout the North Okanagan entered the recent North Okanagan Optimist Club’s annual Essay Contest. At its April meeting, the club presented awards to the top three winners in the contest, which is open to all high school students in the North Okanagan. The top essay, written by Carly Pullin, was submitted to the District Essay Contest, where she stands to win a $2,500 scholarship. The second place essay was written by Kassandra Harder and third place essay was submitted by Laura Hulstein. “Local winners were presented with certificates and monetary awards,” said Lesley Hayes, with the North Okanagan Optimist Club. For more information on the club or the next essay contest, please contact Hayes at malji@shaw.ca

Special to The Morning Star

Have you heard of a group called The Elders? As the name suggests, it is a group of elder statesmen, peace activists and human rights advocates, influential leaders who have come together as elders within the global village. Their goal is to use “almost 1,000 years of collective experience” to work on solutions for seemingly insurmountable problems like climate change, HIV/AIDS, and poverty, and to “use their political independence to help resolve some of the worlds most intractable conflicts.” The Elders wish to be a catalyst for the peaceful resolution of conflict, seeking new approaches to the world’s most difficult issues, and sharing wisdom by listening and helping to amplify voices for good all over the world. The Elders were first brought together in 2007 by Nelson Mandela, and included notable leaders such as former U.S. President Jimmy Carter; former UN Secretary Kofi Annan; former President of Ireland Mary Robinson; Burmese freedom advocate Aung San Suu Kyi, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, among others. In an interview about how all of us can foster good in the world, Tutu said, “Rosa sat so that Martin could walk. Martin walked so that Obama could stand. Obama stood so that our children can fly.” That sentence struck me forcefully. Rosa Parks was the

courageous woman who refused to obey the bus driver’s order to give up her seat for a white passenger Dec. 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Ala. She was tired. Although she was not the first to do so, her civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a protest campaign against the city’s policy of segregation on its public transit system. Her act of defiance became an important symbol for the Civil Rights Movement, and she became an international icon of resistance

King’s words ring just as powerfully today Yme Woensdregt

To place a classified ad call:

to racial segregation. She worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. in the civil rights movement. King chose the way of non-violent resistance. He organized marches, preached in churches, mobilized crowds of courageous people to stand together in mute witness in opposition to the injustice of the socalled “Jim “Crow” laws in the southern U.S. He and others in the movement were imprisoned, beaten, hosed down with fire hoses, but held on to their courageous, prophetic witness.

King’s words still ring powerfully in our imagination. “I have a dream,” he proclaimed, and that dream still empowers leaders in the fight for civil rights. Obama has often noted how King inspired him and others of his generation. Indeed, it would be difficult to imagine that Obama could ever have been elected had it not been for the courageous action of these early pioneers in the civil rights movement. Tutu reminds us how important it is to do what

we can. Like Martin, we may not live to see the goal reached. But as we do our parts, we become links in a living chain of faithful activity. Sitting, walking, standing and flying — it’s a wonderful way of picturing our role as people of faith. For Christians, this is walking in the way of Jesus. Faithful people of other faiths call it by a different name. For us all, this is the way of faithful living in the world. The Rev. Yme Woensdregt is incumbent at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook.

Kennedy. During his career, Lent has received many accolades for his work including being shortlisted for the BC Book Prizes in 2005 for So It Won’t Go Away, and long-listed for the Re-Lit Award in 2009 for Cantilevered Songs. As homage to Lent’s contribution to Canadian poetry, Kalamalka Press established the John Lent Poetry-Prose Award in 2012, which was designed to recognize and support Canadian writers in the early stages of their careers. In addition to his literary talents, he is also an accomplished jazz/ roots/blues singer with The Lent/Fraser/Wall Trio. As the fourth recipient of the distinguished service award, Lent joins past recipients Lynda Wilson (2010), Gary Dickinson (2011), and Catherine Williams (2012). Lent will receive his award on the evening of June 25 during the Vernon convocation ceremony. He will also address the graduating students during the ceremony, which is held at 4:30 p.m. at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre.

Barn dancers at the annual Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong can kick up their heels for a longer period. Armstrong council agreed to a request from the IPE to extend the barn dance on the Friday and Saturday night of the fair to 1:30 a.m. The dance starts at 9:45 p.m. each night. â€œWith the event not starting until after the rodeo, which ends between 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., it would be nice to have the extra 90 minutes from midnight to

Armstrong extends IPE barn dance hours 1:30 a.m. to enjoy the country barn dance atmosphere,â€? wrote IPE general manager Bryan Burns. Council has extended the dance hours to 1 a.m. in the past. While he didnâ€™t vote on the extension, Mayor Chris Pieper offered his support Bryan Burns He said the IPE has been proactive with its security and in dealing with public complaints about noise.

â€œWhen they offered helicopter rides and the public complained because of the noise, they cancelled it,â€? said Pieper. â€œOther events around town that have had negative impact on residents, theyâ€™ve dealt with it. Iâ€™m sure they donâ€™t want to create an issue with the neighbours.â€? Coun. John Trainor voted in support of the request because he felt the fair board wouldnâ€™t ask for this extension if they felt it would be a problem for neighbours. â€œI think we owe it to them to give them a shot at it this year,â€? said Trainor. â€œIf people complain, the extension comes up every year and we can change it next year.

We should base our decision on what is the boardâ€™s own good judgment.â€? However, Coun. Ryan Nitchie feels the extra time will bring about complaints, noting the dance is held in an enclosed tent which is not soundproof. â€œItâ€™s only an extra half-hour but there is a lot of noise associated with the fair,â€? he said. â€œI think allowing the dance to 1 a.m. is reasonable, and while we didnâ€™t receive any complaints last year, I think people were generally happy to go to 1 a.m.â€? Council voted by a margin of 4-2 to allow the extra time for the barn dance, with Nitchie and Sully Oâ€™Sullivan opposed.

The public can have its say regarding Armstrong’s new official community plan. Council unanimously passed second reading of the OCP bylaw at its last regular meeting, and have set a public hearing on the plan for Monday, May 26, at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers. After first reading was read in February, the bylaw was referred for comment to affected provincial agencies, municipal governments and stakeholders. The plan was also posted on the city website to inform the public and receive informal input in advance of a public hearing. After second reading, there was some light-hearted banter between Mayor Chris Pieper and Coun. John Trainor. “We’ve been waiting a long time to do that,” said Pieper of going to public hearing. “We should re-do the plan,” joked Trainor. “You’re out of order,” laughed Pieper. The OCP bylaw can still be reviewed in advance of the public hearing on the city’s website, www. cityofarmstrong.bc.ca. An official community plan is a comprehensive document created by a municipality that guides policy in terms of transportation, land use, recreation, housing and utilities.

Gerry M. Laarakker,

Where there is a Will there is a way Where there is a Will there is a way. You should make a Will when you marry or start a family or the moment you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business. The protection of your children should be a priority. Would you prefer the government appoint a guardian for your minor children? You will also require an Advance Health Care Directive and a Power of Attorney in case something happens to you and you are unable to make decisions yourself. Many people advertise that they do Wills and Estate Planning. For us, it is a specialty. We have given many presentations on it to community groups and have taught this subject at the Bar Admission course all new lawyers must take. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

Where is my Wealth Corner? Um you don’t have one… Corners are to be found in Western/Black Hat Feng Shui where incomplete information is assigned equal quadrants in your home, and is a one size fits all approach. Well life isn’t one size fits all… We are all unique individuals and should be assessed uniquely and this is where Classic Feng Shui trumps other methods. There will be a wealth area, or more precisely, prosperous Qi area and there will also be areas for romance, academic studies, career success and a classic trained Feng Shui consultant can identify these areas for you. You may experience a boost when following a suggestion from a Book of Corners, and that is because of your focused intent as you apply the proposed cure, as the mind is a powerful evoker of Qi.... Alas the mind cannot maintain such momentum alone: real Feng Shui can. The only corners in your home should be the 4 exterior ones that form a predominantly square shape - I like those ones...

“Success is a science. If you have the conditions, you get the results.” - Oscar Wilde

Q: A:

A hearing aid is not a hearing protector and it is not recommended that you wear a hearing aid under ear protection. Worksafe BC has an excellent website www. worksafebc.com with many resources (see the Safety at Work, Hearing Loss Prevention section). Also, see your Hearing Professional. He or she will be glad to help you understand hearing protection and how it should be worn.

Pressure treated wood foundations have been around since the early to mid-1970s. They were initially thought to last about 30 years. Many of the homes that I have seen are at or past that 30 year mark. Depending on what part of the country the home is built in, the foundations are surviving quite well as far as structural stability goes. The biggest problem that I have encountered is that the water membrane on the exterior of the foundation walls is failing & allowing water into the foundation wall cavity and into the basement or crawlspace. What then needs to be done is to excavate the home on the exterior right down to the footings. The foundation wall then needs to be re-sealed with a new & improved waterproof membrane. There are a number of good membranes available through your local building supply stores. Once the wall is re-sealed & backfilled again, the interior insulation & drywall may need to be replaced if it has been water damaged. When all repairs are done your home should be good for many more years to come. You will find that homes with wood foundations are quite a bit warmer than conventional concrete foundations. Though there are better foundation systems available, pressure treated wood foundations need not be a scary thing.

Sunscreen Safety Tips

• Choose a high SPF. Protect your health by using a broadspectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF)of at least 15. The sunscreen should also say "broad-spectrum" on the label, to screen out most of the UVA and UVB rays. • Look for "water resistant". Look for claims on the label that the product stays on better in water ("water resistant", "very water resistant"). • Read application instructions. For best results, be sure to follow the instructions on the product label. • Use lots of sunscreen. Use the recommended amount of sunscreen. • Apply it early. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before you go outside; reapply 20 minutes after going outside and at least every 2 hours after that. Use a generous amount. Cover exposed areas generously, including ears, nose, the tops of feet and backs of knees. • Reapply often. Reapply sunscreen often to get the best possible protection especially if you are swimming or sweating heavily. • Protect yourself. Sunscreen and insect repellents can be used safely together. Apply the sunscreen first, then the insect repellent. • Sunscreens and babies. Do not put sunscreen on babies less than 6 months of age. Keep them out of the sun and heat as their skin and bodies are much more sensitive than an adult’s. • Test for an allergic reaction. Before using any tanning product on you or your child check for an allergic reaction, especially if you have sensitive skin. Apply it to a small patch of skin on the inner forearm for several days in a row. If the skin turns red or otherwise reacts, change products. Remedy’sRx pharmacy has a great selection of Suncreens for both Children and Adults. The pharmacist can also help with the selection of a product if help is needed. Sterling Centre

Mortgage Broker

Q: A:

We have done a Home inspection on our new property but the Lender also requested an Appraisal report. Why are both reports requested? When you are purchasing a home and require a mortgage, you will generally require an appraisal of the property to confirm the value of lending purposes with a down payment of more than 20% or Conventional financing. The report will compare your new home to similar homes in the area, close proximately to services/schools and a variety of other “market considerations” that the Lender may need to know, such as the location of a railway, major highway and the general condition of the security of the home. The Home inspection report is recommended to you as a buyer to be able to better plan for any short term or long term repairs and maintenance that will be required. If a home has been substantially renovated it is also helpful for your home insurance provider to know the details of the property. Both reports are requested to help you with your decision as a home buyer. You also may be requested to provide the home inspection to a Lender if there is question on the property condition. *Note for properties with a lower down payment that must have Mortgage Default insurance, it is up to the insurance company to accept the value or request an appraisal to confirm the purchase price – in this case the cost of your mortgage insurance covers the appraisal.

Yorkton rallies for RBC ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Derek Falloon never saw the biggest goal he’s ever scored in hockey go in the net. But he’ll hear about it forever. Falloon stuffed the puck through Carleton Place Canadians’ goalie Guillaume Therien’s pads and the disc just trickled over the goal line at 15:01 of the first sudden-death overtime period to lift the Yorkton Terriers to a 4-3 win in the RBC Cup Canadian Junior A hockey championship in front of a partisan Yorkton crowd of 2,500 fans Sunday at Kal Tire Place. It’s Yorkton’s first-ever national championship and it comes in their fifth appearance in the tournament. They lost the 2006 championship final in Streetsville, Ont. to Kyle Turris and the Burnaby Express. “I won the face-off, it went back to our d-man, he shot it on net and I just jammed it five-hole,” smiled Falloon, the 21-yearold toast of Russell, Man. and second cousin to former NHL star Pat Falloon, of his tournament winner. “I never saw the puck go in as their goalie was in the way.” The last time the RBC Cup final went to overtime was in 1995 in Gloucester, Ont., when the host Rangers lost 5-4 to the Calgary Canucks. It was the 5-foot-7 Falloon’s second overtime goal of the 2014 tournament. He scored in extra time to give the Saskatchewan champs a 2-1 win over the Dauphin Kings in Yorkton’s final round robin game Thursday, which clinched a semifinal berth. Carleton Place was three minutes away from winning the RBC Cup for the first time in its first-ever tournament appearance, leading 3-1. But goals eight seconds apart by Tanner Lishchynsky at 17:12, and Dylan Johnson at 17:20, tied the game for Yorkton. The Canadians survived a Yorkton power play early in overtime when Carleton Place forward Brett D’Andrea was whistled for a blow to the head. Terriers forward Brett Boehm came within inches of being the hero a minute before Falloon’s marker as he slid the puck under Therien’s arm. However, the puck hugged the goal line and went past the far post. Carleton Place, the East region champions, snapped a 1-1 tie in the second period with goals from Stephen Baylis and CJHL Player of the Year Andy Sturtz, one of 12 Canadians with NCAA scholarships for next fall. The Canadians opened the scoring at 9:21 of the first period on a marker from fifth-year player Anthony McVeigh. Yorkton tied it up six minutes later on a goal by Daylan Gatzke. Falloon on the Terriers’ 0-2 start: “We started off rough but we believed in ourselves, we built momentum all the way through, we kept believing and we found a way.” Biggest ovation when Yorkton was receiving their medals went to former Vernon Viper Riley Hunt, of Revelstoke. “That was cool. The fans here have been great to me. It’s kind of a dream when you think about it. I was here three years ago and thought I was going to play for a national championship with Vernon. It didn’t work out here but it’s funny how things do work out. It’s surreal to be hoisting the championship trophy in this building.” Carleton Place is 46 kilometres west of Ottawa and coach

Vipers move on after loss TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR

Yorkton Terriers’ captain Devon McMullen hoists the Royal Bank Cup after a 4-3 overtime win over the Carleton Place Canadians Sunday. Jason Clarke has put the Canadians on the hockey map. “It was a great season for us,” said Clarke, whose club went 54-6-1-1. “Our program is not an easy program to play in. It’s a pretty structured program, the grind we put kids through day in and day out, and you have to throw your hats off to them. We’re very proud of them, they left it all out on the ice today.” RBC DEPOSITS: It’s the second time the City of Vernon has played host to the national Junior A hockey championship and, both times, the championship game went to overtime. The Vernon Lakers beat the New Westminster Royals 6-5 in the 1990 final at the Civic Arena...The Vipers won the 1999 RBC Cup in Yorkton. The Terriers were eliminated in double overtime in the semifinals by the Charlottetown Abbies...The Terriers’ win Sunday gave the SJHL its first RBC Cup since Humboldt Broncos won it in 2008. It’s the ninth Canadian Junior A Championship for the league...The host teams have failed to advance to the final in three of the last four RBC Cups...The 2015 nationals will be Portage la Prairie, Man. with the Portage Terriers hosts.

The Vernon Vipers will clean out their lockers, say their goodbyes and move on with their lives today, four days after their hockey season ended in the Royal Bank Cup. The Vipers will also keep digesting a 6-3 loss to the Yorkton Terriers in Saturday’s semifinals of the national Junior A tournament. “It is gonna take some time,” said Viper head coach/GM Jason Williamson, Tuesday morning. “I did my best to put our best team on the ice and when you don’t win, it sucks.” Williamson was rather numb as he took in Sunday’s final at Kal Tire Place. “I went to the finals. I didn’t really follow it that closely because it was tough to watch. It looked like a tight game. It was great to see the crowd attendance. Vernon should be proud of the turnout for the tournament.” The Vipers lose half their team through graduation and NCAA scholarships, and they owe two players off their regular roster to the Surrey Eagles in the trade for Brett Mulcahy. “We are still in the process of figuring out what to send back,” said Williamson, who heads to Las Vegas as a guest coach at a Junior camp, June 17-21. The Terriers derailed the Vipers’ quest for a seventh national title, getting two late empty-net goals. “Not much you can say at this time, it’s disheartening to have our season end like this,” said Williamson, moments after the loss. Vipers’ goalie Austin Smith had been a rock leading up to the RBC Cup, but struggled with a 4.23 goals against average in the tournament. He allowed four goals on eight shots Saturday before being replaced by Danny Todosychuk. “I think it was all the wear and tear catching up to him. He played every single minute in the playoffs and he has been dealing with a few injuries; it happens,” said Todosychuk. Former Viper Chad Brownlee, a country recording artist, sung the anthem and had the 2,700 fans pulsating. Both teams came out of the gates jacked up; elimination hockey at its finest. Batman and Robin wish they were as productive as Mulcahy and Colton Sparrow, who almost connected for a goal in the opening seconds. Once again, the Vipers got into early penalty trouble. Tyler Povelofskie was in the box for roughing when captain Ryan Renz was called for a questionable hit to the head of ex-Viper Riley Hunt, giving the Terriers an extended powerplay.

Viper captain Ryan Renz embraces former teammate Riley Hunt, of the Yorkton Terriers after Yorkton’s 6-3 Royal Bank Cup semifinal win Saturday afternoon at Kal Tire Place; Viper forwards Colton Sparrow and Brett Mulcahy take a knee and try and digest the defeat near the Vernon bench.

Vipers fall to Yorkton in semifinal Continued from A25

With 20 seconds remaining in Renz’s penalty, Yorkton defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky opened the scoring, from Devon McMullen and Tyson Enzie, at 9:05. Lishchynsky had the entire net to shoot at, ripping it high blocker. The Terriers struck again a minute later when Daylan Gatzke fooled Smith with a harmless shot from the point. Tayler Thompson drew the assist. “Our game wasn’t what we wanted at times, but we played hard and had some bounces go our way,” said Terriers’ head coach Trent Cassan. Mulcahy lost in the RBC semifinal last year with the Surrey Eagles. With Lishchynsky in the box for slashing, Mulcahy tipped in a Jared Wilson blast. Michael McNicholas got the second assist, 15:47 into the first. Mulcahy was overcome by excitement and let out a beastly roar that Mufasa, from The Lion King, would have applauded. After a sluggish start to the tournament, the line of McNicholas, Dexter Dancs and Demico Hannoun picked up the pace over the last two games. McNicholas got his second goal of the tournament on the powerplay from Dancs and Mason Blacklock, 1:36 into the second, to tie it 2-2. McNicholas was named player of the game.

Vernon’s Austin Smith makes a save with the help of d-man Ken Citron Saturday against Yorkton. Vernon came close to taking the lead minutes later, but Terriers’ goaltender Kale Thomson snatched up a puck that was flirting with the goal line. The Vipers killed Liam Coughlin’s roughing penalty when they got scored on again. It was Sparrow’s hand pass in the Terriers’ zone that

brought the play back into the Vipers’ end. The ensuing faceoff saw Dylan Johnson tip Chase Norrish’s point shot over the shoulder of Smith, as the Terriers regained the lead. Chase’s twin brother, Brady, was named player of the game. Chase was at it again two minutes later as he fluttered one over a screened Smith to give the Terriers a 4-2 lead, chasing Smith. The goaltending switch ignited the Snakes, as Dancs scored 12:58 into the second, from Hannoun and d-man Riley Guenther. The soft hands were on display as McNicholas and Hannoun patiently moved around defenders before they found an open Dancs, The Vipers’ best opportunity in the third came on a late 5-on-3 powerplay. “To be honest, it was fun. It’s why we play the game, down one in the playoffs, in front of a packed house. It just didn’t happen,” said Dancs. “They beat us.” D-man Josh Bryan was teeing up shots from the point, Sparrow was grinding down low and McNicholas was finding the open man, but the puck just wouldn’t fall for the Vipers. Thomson was always in perfect position, making 34 saves. Gatzke and Thompson added emptynetters, 25 seconds apart, in the dying minutes.

Both teams sleepwalked through preliminary play at 3-0. Calgary posted lopsided wins over CWSC Banyana Banyana of Calgary, and Westside FC and MetroFord Celtics, both of Vancouver. Dr. Lee, who earned $300, iced the Coquitlam Stingers, The Leftovers of Calgary and the Jaguars Alumni. The Best Amigas of Kamloops took third place for $200. There was a field of 12. In the Women’s 45+ Division final, B.C. United of Salmon Arm/Vernon/Kelowna shut down Port Coquitlam 3-0 in Monday morning’s final. Derri-Ann Cooper (Vernon) recorded the shutout as United topped the six-team category. United earlier grounded the Scottish Classics of Edmonton 4-0, ambushed Calgary Extreme 5-0 and tripped up the Calgary Fury 3-1. Suzie Andrews, Jodi Hawthorne, Dawn Lemiski and Stacey Cover also represented Vernon with United. “We were coached brilliantly by B.C.

Two great teams battling hard for 70 minutes at sun-baked MacDonald Park. A dozen penalty shots with one clutch save by the Calgary Tsunami Blues’ keeper Lee Grieco-Savoy. That’s how things went down in the Women’s 35+ Division final Monday afternoon of the 35th annual Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament. The Blues edged defending champion Dr. Lee Dental of Vernon 2-1 (6-5) in a thrilling shootout to pocket the $500 purse. It was the Blues’ fourth title at the May long weekend extravaganza. Grieco-Savoy went to her left and scooped up a low shot by Sarah Green before pumping her fist in celebration. “She likes PKs, that’s her thing,” said Blues’ captain Jackie Hertlein. Chrissy Nelson buried a 28-yard corker, top shelf, to give Calgary the lead 10 minutes into the first half. Dr. Lee equalized with two minutes left when Michelle Nelson converted from 15 yards after a nice feed by Paula Brownlee. “It was a great final; both teams played hard and we had great refereeing (Andrea Dollinger) and the linesmen did a great job too,” said Vernon coach Akbal Mund. The Blues missed the tournament last year, choosing to play younger teams in Penticton to prepare for the World Masters Games in Italy. They had four players from their gold-medal World Masters team in Vernon. “This is a good confidence builder and allows us to get lots of touches and work on our team bonding before our outdoor season really gets going,” said Hertlein, a Calgary police officer. “We just finished indoor and played one outdoor game before we came to Vernon.” Hertlein, who played university soccer in Florida, opened penalty kicks for Calgary by going high on keeper Lori Shippy. Lisa Arrotta, who was in net during regulation time, responded with a high scorcher for Dr. Lee. The teams went blast-for-blast with Michaela Jordan, Nelson and Helena Ogilvie connecting for Calgary and Deanna Baker, Delinah Erbinich and Irene Arrotta Barb Levesque answering for Vernon. Wendy Lumby, a former downhill skier who represented Great Britain in the 1988 Calgary Olympics, beat Shippy off the left post as Calgary’s fifth shooter. Barb Levesque responded for Dr. Lee. Vernon guest player Tori Feser, a winger, stepped up and beat Shippy with a rolling ball to the left corner, for what proved to be the winner.

Vernon edged North Vancouver 2-1, with scoring from Cotter and Oordt-Bosman. Man of the match was Ben Imrich, for working tirelessly all over the pitch. Vernon tied Kelowna 0-0 in their last game. “When these boys combine a high work effort with good skill sets, they are a tough team to play against,” said coach James Cotter. The Vernon United U12 #2 boys finished 1-2-1, opening with a 1-1 tie against Kamloops. Liam Glennon opened the scoring and was named Vernon’s man of the match.

They wore blue T-shirts with silkscreen junior high school photos of themselves on the front, accompanied by various yearbook-like slogans, some not suitable for this newspaper. Surrey United were in Vernon to share a few laughs, but they also played some fabulous footy, winning the Men’s 35+ Division in the 35th Annual Vernon National Oldtimers Soccer Tournament. United brushed back Edmonton Arsenal 3-1 in Monday’s matinee final at MacDonald Park. Murray Howes, on a header after a feed by Brent Roberts, Mike Evans, after he skinned a defender, and Ricky Sewell, on a 20-yarder, handled the offence for Surrey. United, who lost last year’s final to Salmon Arm LWO Legends, led 2-0 at the half. They pocketed $500 in prize money. “We’ve been coming here for 10 years and we love it,” said Surrey captain Mark Avery. “We could have lost all three games (in round-robin), they were so tight. We changed to a 3-5-2 today and it seemed to work. Angelo Bonato (keeper) kept us in the games all tournament.” Surrey won the Fraser Valley Division 1 (35+) title this season. Alan Smith replied for Edmonton, who took home $300. “It came down to energy today,” said Smith. “They made the ball do the work and we ran. They were deserving winners; they were the better team.” Surrey shaded Edmonton 3-2 to open the tournament Saturday morning at Marshall Field #4. Surrey also toppled Calgary Lads 4-1 and tied Prince George Ole Boys 1-1. Edmonton shut out the Lads 2-0 and stopped LWO Legends 2-0. The Legends and Prince George didn’t play the consolation final and split the $200. There were seven teams in the division. Mission FC clipped the Calgary Chinooks 1-0 in the Men’s 40+ final at Mac Park. Colin Whitworth

scored from 18 yards, while Rob Mills posted the clean sheet. The same two teams tied 3-3 in preliminary action Sunday at Marshall #2. Mission battled Spokane White House Grill to a scoreless draw and defeated Calgary United FC 2-0 in other roundrobin games. There were four teams in the category. Old Growth of North Vancouver brushed off the Southside Rangers of Calgary 1-0 in the Men’s 45+ final Monday morning at MacDonald. Old Growth earlier blanked the Rangers 1-0, iced the Calgary Red Devils 6-0 and stuffed Sherwood Park Pioneer Hitch 6-0 in the five-team class. The Rangers finished third. They went to penalty kicks in the Men’s 50+ final with the Delta Stingers stopping Peace Arch of White Rock 1-0 (7-6) with midfielder Dave Ayre nailing the winner. Peace Arch received the prestigious George Stein Memorial Triple S award for sportsmanship, service and skill. Vernon Secondary School grad Rod Trentini plays for Peace Arch. The Calgary Lads took third spot amongst a dozen teams. The Vernon Big O Tire-Turn-Key Controls Ogopogos tied one and lost two, opening with a 2-2 draw against the Stingers. John Matejcka and Ian Murphy had the Vernon goals. The Ogopogos then lost 2-1 to FC Piasta of Surrey with Murphy converting a penalty kick. Vernon finished by falling 1-0 to Calgary Old Boys. The North Island Spartans of Nanaimo shaded the Vancouver Nomads of 2-1 (5-4) on penalty kicks to claim the Men’s 55+ title. The Spartans earlier grounded Edmonton Polonia 4-1, shaded the Nelson-Vernon Gunners 3-2 and tied the Southside Rangers 2-2. The Trojans placed third by stopping the Rangers 4-3 in penalty kicks. There was a field of nine. Director Shelly Johnston and her team from the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association smoothly ran the 55-team tournament. South Hill FC of Vancouver was here for the 35th time.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder YOU ARE IN SIX, NOT IN SEVEN Who were the most prolific authors? Two who came to my mind were Isaac Asimov and P.G. Wodehouse (although it seems that many have outwritten P.G.W.). But as Asimov said, “If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.” His keyword for this deal is “six.” South is in six spades. West leads the diamond ace. How should declarer proceed after ruffing? This week, we are looking at six deals from one of my classes about handling the trump suit correctly. This is the hardest, in my opinion -- unless you have seen the theme before.

In the auction, North’s rebid is a double negative, showing a really bad hand. In the old days, pairs used two no-trump; now, three clubs is popular. Each has pluses and minuses. Over three spades, it is reasonable for South to bid six spades, hoping that he will not have two heart losers. If North has three hearts, maybe the suit will break 3-3; and if he has a doubleton, there is a chance for a ruff or two on the board. Some of my students immediately cashed their two top hearts, then ruffed a heart with the spade nine. That would have been correct in seven spades, but here it cost the small slam. East overruffed and returned

a trump, leaving South with a heart loser. The careful declarers ruffed the third heart with dummy’s spade jack. Then they returned to hand and ruffed their last heart. It did not matter that East overruffed, because South had the rest.

SNORING? SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally #23 NPN 80045172 Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

ACNE

Works by cleaning blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving actual cause untreated. Actual Results. <After 1 week my severe acne became quite mild and after 2 weeks it had completely Eczema & Psoriasis vanished. I suffered for 5 stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Help for Skin Disorders“saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. Was fighting it for 30 years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Help for Skin Disorders, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m #60 NPN 80044199 speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before.

District receives grant

Peel $100 off a new smartphone.

Morning Star Staff

Planning for a healthy community is getting a boost in Lake Country. The Lake Country Health Planning Society is receiving a $4,000 provincial grant for a community needs assessment. “Our plan is to organize focus groups to assess the health and social needs of Lake Country citizens in addition to hosting an on-line survey,” said Shannon Paul-Jost, society president. “The information will help us put together a list of current resources available to residents and then enable us to focus on areas of shortcomings by bringing these to the attention of our elected officials.” The District of Lake Country’s community and customer services department will be the lead department from the municipal side and the access and agefriendly committee will be asked to provide input about accessibility issues. Interior Health will act in an advisory capacity along with the Lake Country Seniors Society, Lake Country Boys and Girls Club, Lake Country Chamber of Commerce and George Elliot Secondary School Parent Advisory Council. “Having a focused opportunity to work with the public, private and non-profit services in our community will identify commonalities between groups,” said Paul-Jost. “We are keen to know how each group can use their strengths to support each other to meet the health needs in the community.”
