Teachers shown support JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Teachers were pounding the pavement in Armstrong Tuesday in attempts to attract more support for kids. Classrooms were empty as rotating strikes hit the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District, which includes Armstrong, Enderby, Falkland and Grindrod. Teachers within the Vernon School District (which includes Lumby, Cherryville and Coldstream) go on strike Thursday. “Ya, we’d like a raise but the majority of us are here because of the kids,” said Highland Park Elementary kindergarten teacher Carol-Ann Lawson. Just at her school, Lawson says the library is now down to two days a week and cuts to specialist teachers is hurting the kids, such as the 11 kids in her classroom who need speech and language support. “I’ve been teaching for over 35 years and this is the worst under funding I’ve seen.” It didn’t help when a retired teacher from Ontario stopped and told her that the last year he was working he made more than $100,000 a year and class sizes were 22 to one. He, along with numerous others, stopped or honked to show their support for the

Students Liam McLean and Madison Dalgleish even delivered a freshly baked batch of muffins for their teachers. “Just to show our support and say thank you for everything the teachers are doing,” said mom Holly Dalgleish. Retired teacher Judy Garlick even
strapped on a sign and paced the sidewalks too. “I’m here with my colleagues,” she said proudly. Superintendent Glenn Borthistle could even hear the honks of support outside his office as teachers picketed out front. He says the teachers are driven by good motives and while he too would love to see more funding, Borthistle says everyone has
to live within their budgets and he hopes the “disruption” (strike) ends soon. “For everybody in the system this is a distraction,” he said, expecting an announcement to be made by the BCTF by Thursday. “It really does put a strain on relationships within our system.” But the two sides are still quite far apart, he admits.
Townhouse fire cause unknown From the deck, the flames spread into the attic of one of the units. The fire was fuelled by strong winds and natural gas. “There’s raw wood and a confined space and that generates heat,” said Blair of the attic. Beyond the two units that sustained widespread damage the siding on another unit was melted and there’s smoke damage in a fourth unit. It’s believed the damage could be valued at about $750,000.

Determining what led flames to roar through two Vernon homes is proving difficult. Investigators were back on scene Tuesday at Hawk’s Landing on Mt. Revelstoke Place, where two townhomes sustained significant fire damage Saturday. “There’s a lot of damage, especially in the fire’s area of origin,” said Lawrie Skolrood, a Vernon deputy fire chief. “Whether we find something remains to be seen.”
While the cause is not known yet, one possibility has been ruled out. “The barbecue was disconnected and was not part of the fire,” said Skolrood. Hampering the investigation has been the structural integrity of parts of the residences. “There are huge holes in the deck and there’s a 30-foot drop,” said Jack Blair, a deputy fire chief. Five firefighters were part of the initial response at about 7:30 p.m. Saturday and about 25 firefighters in total were on scene. ental taxes for new tires, GST and QST taxes.

Thieves hit thrift store richard rolke Morning Star Staff
jennifer smith/morning star
Deputy fire chief Lawrie Skolrood investigates the cause of a fire that gutted a motorhome in the 3600 block of Vernon’s 26th Avenue Saturday night.
Alarm spreads over arson fires richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The number of suspicious fires could be growing in Vernon. After two incidents on the weekend, Vernon RCMP are investigating a total of eight or nine blazes that could be arson related. “We are following up on them,” said Gord Molendyk, detachment spokesperson. On Saturday, firefighters Gord Molendyk were called to reports of a motorhome fire in the 3600 block of 26th Avenue at about 11 p.m. A fire was also started next to a vehicle at an automobile dealership on Pleasant Valley Road
at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday. This is just the latest in a string of suspicious fires in the community. On May 22, firefighters tackled a pile of burning pallets in the 4600 block of 34th Street after 10 p.m. A boat was also set ablaze May 20, a fire was sparked at a vacant home May 19, a portable outhouse was torched May 19, a pile of railway ties was burned May 16 and a vacant commercial building was destroyed by fire May 18. Few details are known about who may be responsible or if the various incidents are even linked. “The more publicity there is, you can get copycats. We don’t know if there is one individual or several individuals,” said Molendyk, adding that arson fires can escalate in severity.
“Sooner or later, we are afraid someone will get hurt.” Saturday’s RV fire had the potential to be far worse than it was. “The motorhome was right up against an old building with metal siding,” said Jack Blair, a deputy fire chief with the Vernon Fire Department. “The heat radiated through the siding and ignited the timbers inside.” Firefighters had to force their way into the building to extinguish the blaze. The owner of the recreational vehicle had done some work on the vehicle earlier in the evening, but it’s not believed that is related to the fire. “There was no work that indicated a possible fire. There was no power to the vehicle and the battery was disconnected,” said Blair.
A Vernon non-profit agency that assists residents in need has been hit by thieves. At about 1:56 a.m. Monday, someone entered the Salvation Army thrift shop on 24th Avenue and broke into an office. “They stole an empty safe and dragged it across the floor and the parking lot,” said David MacBain, community ministries director. While nothing of significance was stolen, a costly mess has been left behind. The thieves initially attempted to force the building’s main doors open, causing damage to the frame. When they were unable to get in through the doors, they gained entry to the store by breaking a window. The repair bill could be $5,000 if the door frame needs to be replaced. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Vernon RCMP.

are confusing messages.” A communications plan had been identified as part of council’s strategic priorities. “It’s part of providing a good service to the public and if we can’t communicate with the public in an efficient manner, then we’re not doing our job,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. Sawatzky believes an advance focus on communications could lead to fewer conflicts with residents when the city proposes capital projects, major expenditures or changes in traffic patterns. The communications plan is believed to be the first one ever adopted by the city. “This was created completely from the
beginning with Vernon in mind,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, communications co-ordinator. “This plan is necessary to clearly and effectively tell our story and to ensure that mayor and council’s strategic goals and actions in support of those goals are communicated to the media, the public, to funding bodies and other governments.” Among the messages outlined in the document are council “making sound budget management a priority while protecting essential services,” and council “providing sustainable investment in city infrastructure.” The plan calls for the standardization of all of the city’s visual communications, while the
city crest will be used to represent council while a separate logo will be used for all other communications. It’s anticipated the communications plan will be implemented through existing financial resources.

Patrick’s Gathering Place proceeds richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Patrick Nicol loved Polson Park and bringing people together, and now those two components will form a lasting tribute for the former Vernon councillor. City council voted Monday to provide up to $10,000 for a memorial in Polson Park for Nicol, who died in January. “It will be called Patrick’s
Patrick Nicol
Gathering Place,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who led the committee that considered how Nicol should be recognized for his 22 years of elected office and volunteer activities. The memorial will consist of seating and a plaque on a large rock. It will be located near the checker board area by the bandshell, where Nicol presided over Canada Day festivities for decades. “It’s modest but meaningful,” said Cunningham of the design. “Patrick wouldn’t want anything over the top.” Patrick’s Gathering Place will be unveiled July 1, Canada Day.
City targeting mixed martial arts bouts richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Mixed martial arts competitions could be tossed out of the ring permanently. City council instructed administration Monday to draft a bylaw that would prohibit professional and amateur mixed martial arts events within municipal limits. “We just don’t feel it’s a healthy activity for the community to be promoting,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. Mayor Rob Sawatzky would not get into specific details, but says council’s decision is partially based on in-camera discussions with the local RCMP detachment. In June 2012, council members refused to consider applications for professional boxing, kickboxing or mixed martial arts until legislation for a provincial athletic commission proceeded later that year. At that time, Sawatzky stated, “We have received some confidential information about professional sports that has led to us making that decision.” In terms of council’s actions Monday, Sawatzky, who is a retired physician, admits that he has other concerns about mixed martial arts. “MMA is very violent and the goal is to injure your opponent,” he said.

Josh Dueck, a Vernon gold medal Paralympic sit-skier, believes the trail would be a great way for athletes and families to have a safe place to cycle “I do a lot of cycling in the summer months and I really believe I’m playing Russian roulette on the roads. There are not a lot of safe cycling paths right now,” he said. As part of the abandonment process, CN Rail has until June 3 to sell the land the rail line is on to a business that would operate it as a railway. If that doesn’t happen, each level of government will have a 30-day window to potentially purchase the line.

for the first 15 years of operation. The 70-page report looked at other trails in North America and Europe that were created by using old rail lines. “What (the report) found was an increase in the health of the overall residents because people start getting out and using the trail,” said Clements. “We’re very excited that the report shows there are tremendous benefits to protecting the corridor in the event that it is not used as a railway, and we will know that in a week’s time. If it’s not operated as a railway we’d like to keep it as a public space.”

Several containers of hazardous material have been removed from an alleged drug lab in Ashton Creek.

Lab chemicals pose hazard richard rolke Morning Star Staff
An alleged drug lab could have an environmental impact in the Ashton Creek area. Environment Canada and the Ministry of Environment are determining whether possible drug production on a remote property on Trinity Valley Road has caused any damage to the natural surroundings. “That could take a little time yet,” said Gord Molendyk, with the RCMP. On May 19, RCMP converged on the site after there were reports of shots being fired. A significant quantity of hazardous materials believed to be used in the manufacturing of crystal
meth have been removed from the site. “They are now safely and securely stored,” said Molendyk. Because of the potential risk from the hazardous materials, a hazmat team was needed to decontaminate the police officers involved in the investigation, which wrapped up Saturday. Five suspects — three men and two women — are facing numerous drug production, stolen property and firearms offences. They have been released on bail with strict conditions. As for the reason for the gunshots being fired, Molendyk says, “I think they were just horsing around which drew attention to the area.”
Well use possible if water rises richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Armstrong wants to be prepared for flooding just in case. Council has given the public works manager the authority to use wells if the Fortune Creek drinking source is impacted by high water levels. “We’re just formalizing a pro-
cess that’s in place,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “So far we haven’t had to switch to wells because turbidity levels are within the guidelines.” If wells had to be used, stage two water restrictions would kick in, meaning that Armstrong residents could only hand water in their yards.
Residents are also being advised that flash rain storms could occur, causing localized flooding in neighbourhoods. As a result, sandbags are available at the public works yard. “We are also asking residents to keep an eye on the storm drains in front of their house,” said Pieper.
Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Bear warning issued for East Hill residents richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Residents of a Vernon neighbourhood are being warned of an unwanted visitor. Conservation officers have been trying to track down a bear that has been reported on East Hill. “The bear has been seen several times on the weekend,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP. spokesperson

The animal is described as being large, but there have been no conflicts with people or pets. However, officials are urging residents to take action to prevent this bear or other wild animals from visiting their yards. “Hide your garbage and bird feeders and keep them away,” said Molendyk, adding that bears are constantly looking for food sources. “Bears are out and about.”

Food for thought
pposition to proposed changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve has come from obvious quarters — the NDP and environmentalists. They squawk about anything the Liberals do. But it may not be so easy for the government to ignore the criticism now arising from the B.C. Association of Farmers Markets, which represents 125 farmers markets and 1,000 small-scale producers. Farmers are traditionally conservative in their approach and many come from communities which have voted Liberal MLAs into office for years. “We are concerned that our provincial representatives have not considered our members’ views and opposition to bill 24,” said Jon Bell, BCAFM president, in a letter to Norm Letnick, agriculture minister and Lake Country MLA. “B.C.’s farmers’ markets work tirelessly in all corners of the province to strengthen local economies and provide Richard Rolke British Columbians with fresh, healthy local agricultural products. Our ability to continue to deliver these benefits into the future, however, is tied directly to the availability of agricultural land throughout the province.” Within the farmers market ranks, the most alarm has come from those in the north and the Interior (outside of the Okanagan), where non-agricultural uses, such as oil and gas, could occur within the ALR. “B.C.’s farmers markets are a rapidly growing sector that contributed $113 million in direct sales to B.C.’s economy in 2012, a 147 percent increase from $46 million in 2006. The proposed changes in bill 24 not only threaten the viability of farmers’ markets, they threaten the economic and social benefits that markets deliver to the communities they support,” said Bell. The BCAFM also takes aim at one of the more contentious aspects of the changes — giving regional panelists the authority to make

initial decisions on ALR applications. “This governance structure was used from 2002 to 2010 and was considered less effective than the current centralized administration and vetting of all ALR applications by the ALC, which ensures strong and consistent centralized authority,” said Bell. But the most pointed criticism is directed right at the Liberals themselves. “British Columbians voted for a Liberal government. A campaign promise included, ‘Yes, we will maintain the excellent relationship we have built with the ALC.’ The party also said it would increase funding to the Agricultural Land Commission, and would “work more closely with farmers, ranchers and agricultural organizations to preserve agricultural land.” We regret that these promises have not been upheld,” writes Bell. “In an era of climate change, significant urban expansion, concerns about local food supply, food safety and sustainability, the B.C. government and ALC must look at ways to encourage farming. Permitting non-agricultural industrial activities on ALR land will only fragment and degrade remaining viable land, leading to greater challenges for farmers in accessing agricultural land. That being said, we support changes that will specifically help farm and ranch operations to be financially successful.” Bell wraps up the letter by stating the popularity of farmers markets has climbed 146 per cent from 2006 to 2012 and that requires more farmers growing produce to meet demand. “This is more than just a farming issue, and our farmers’ markets are at the centre of it,” he said. And Bell has a point that farmers markets specifically, and agriculture in general, are critical to our community’s livelihood. All aspects of the economy benefit, whether it is retail stores, auto dealers, restaurants or non-profits. How Letnick will respond to the B.C. Association of Farmers Markets’ plea to abandon ALR changes is difficult to know, but the government at least has been given something to chew on.
The long-standing dispute between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the Liberal government is one of the most polarizing in recent memory. On the one hand are people familiar with the day-to-day challenges teachers face, i.e. parents. They know those challenges were exacerbated when the province cut in-class resources and maxed out class sizes. They especially feel for the educators if they happen to have special needs children falling through the cracks. On the other hand are people who believe teachers have it made: they already make good money and receive the equivalent of three months’ paid holidays a year. On average, they’re paid above average compared to other workers in B.C. society. Many rank-and-file teachers admit money is not the key issue, it’s working conditions. They seem hampered by the fact their union executive continues to argue for a return to smaller classes and more teaching assistants, as well as demanding significant raises. The province insists there’s not enough money available. Fair enough, but why take the aggressive step of calling for inordinate cash penalties against striking teachers before ruling out all potential compromises ahead of either side-stepping away from the bargaining table? To us it’s painfully obvious the two sides need the services of an independent mediator to help settle this ugly, ongoing dispute. While it’s anyone’s guess as to whether each side would agree to live with that person’s recommendations, it’s worth a try. Regardless of which side one happens to be on, no one wants to see this whole sorry affair drag on year after year and put the education of our children at risk. — Victoria News

Middle ground must be found
t is time for some perspective. I am a learning resource teacher in a Grade 8 to 12 school in Vernon. As most people know, teachers are on strike at the moment. Phase one of our strike action is designed to have minimal impact on student learning, but hopefully cause some inconveniences for our school and district-level administrators so they can in turn report to their bosses that they need teachers back to work fully. It is the same game we have played too many times. Our school experienced a tragedy recently. A Grade 9 boy was killed in a motor vehicle accident. Late that night, phone calls were being made to everyone that works in the school: teachers, secretaries, administrators, teacher aides, lunch supervisors, breakfast volunteers, and counsellors. I am sure I have missed some. Schools and teaching aren't just about education – far from it many times. This is an extreme example, but on a daily basis, every adult that works in a school is forming relationships with young people. For many of our students, the school provides the most secure, predictable setting they have. Some students as young as 15 or 16 are living on their own, with no parent guiding them out the door. Many students arrive at school without breakfast or lunch. The types and levels of abuse many face outside of the school are beyond comprehension for those of us that have been fortunate enough to live a “normal” life. All of this of course is tied up in an ongoing battle between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the government of B.C. The BCTF threatens to close down schools in a full-strike and the government does what it can to push teachers into a walkout, presumably to gain enough public support so they can once again legislate teachers back to work, enforcing whatever contract
they decide. Both sides are locked into an old industrial union model that has nothing to do with what actually goes on inside of a school. If a society is judged by how it treats its weakest members, then we are truly in a sad state. Any time a school is closed, it is the lowest and the weakest that suffer most, yet somehow this has become a completely acceptable path to follow. On the one side, a government that seems to regard education primarily as an expense, and does whatever it can to lower expenses, and on the other side, a large union that comes to the table with inflated wage demands stating it is part of the “process.” I would doubt anyone, on either side honestly believes that their opening offers are reasonable, yet here we are again going down a path that causes so much harm. The government tells the public that educational spending is at an all-time high, knowing full well it is only a partial truth. Enrolment has been declining, but the cost of running schools has been increasing faster than inflation. The cost of all the utilities needed to run a school doesn’t change whether there are 1,500 students or 1,000. The government is spending more than it did. However, the
in terms of pay. This in a province that ranks near the top in terms of cost of living. It isn’t realistic to expect teachers in B.C. to suddenly be at the top, but isn’t some minor adjustment reasonable? Isn’t cost of living on a yearly basis reasonable? The government claims to want a 10-year deal, yet refuses to present anything reasonable. From my perspective, the BCTF has every right to call foul, but they have become so entrenched in the usual game they cannot even envision a possible divergent path. Education is only one of the services that schools and teachers provide. Schools provide a stable base to far too many students that do not have one elsewhere. They provide food and clothing to the least fortunate, not to mention counselling, guidance, mentorship and friendship. At no time is that strong sense of community in a school more present than following a very unfortunate tragedy. Some how, that got lost. Our government wants to approach education as a business, looking to save a buck where ever they can. The BCTF has the strike hammer of closing schools, the pattern we all know too well. But it isn’t OK, touting the greater good of needed change at the expense of those most needy in our communities. If a full strike does come, it is the most vulnerable that will suffer and when another tragedy impacts a school community, where will those most needy turn when the buildings are closed behind pickets? It is time for both sides to come to the table with reasonable offers and work together to find a middle ground. If they cannot do it themselves, bring in an arbitrator who is completely free to act independently to find a fair settlement for everyone involved. Enough is enough. Paul Boyd
increases have not kept up with inflation, not kept up with the increases in utility costs, and not kept up with the reality that buildings cost the same to run whether they are at capacity or not. Every stakeholder that works in the education system will say the same thing: there isn’t enough money in the system. It is a 10-year trend and there is nothing left to give. Talk to a trustee, a school board member, a teacher, a principal, a custodian, a bus driver, anyone that has worked in a school over the last 10 years and they will have a situation to share outlining the impact of declining money in schools. For its part, the BCTF is just as guilty of playing the same game unrealistic wage demands that have no chance of being accepted given the current financial state of our province. The problem is that the government comes to the table, with even less money on the table than other public service unions have agreed to. There is plenty of debate and statistic-twisting attempting to show how B.C.’s teachers are paid compared to teachers in other parts of the country. Regardless of whose numbers one accepts, it is clear that B.C. teachers rank towards the bottom

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN
North Okanagan motorists are being urged to slow down. Up until May 23, the RCMP have pulled over 16 excessive speeders in the North Okanagan. That compares to 25 during all of 2013. “There are some in the city, some out towards Armstrong and some on the highway (towards Oyama),” said Gord Molendyk, detachment spokesperson. Excessive speeding is considered to be anything more than 40 kilometres over the posted speed limit. “People are not paying attention to what the speed limit is,” said Molendyk, adding that while they may be in a hurry to get somewhere, those motorists are putting themselves and others on the road at risk. If you are pulled over for excessive speeding, your vehicle is impounded for a week. You also have to pay the cost of having your vehicle towed, there is a fine and your insurance could be impacted. “It could be a couple of thousand bucks,” said Molendyk of the cumulative effect.
Vehicle in lake, driver OK A motorist was found uninjured even though his vehicle was found in a mountain lake. On May 24 at about 7:20 p.m., the North Okanagan RCMP received a call about a singlevehicle accident on Highway 6 at McIntyre Lake, between Cherryville and the Arrow Lakes. “The vehicle was described as partially submerged and there appeared to be no one with the vehicle,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “Our officers made patrols of the area. To rule out the possibility the occupants were ejected, the police dogs were called in to assist and they were not able to find anyone.” Officers completed the accident investigation and the vehicle was removed from the lake. North Okanagan officers then contacted their counterparts with the Nakusp RCMP and they visited the Fauquier residence of the vehicle’s registered owner. “He was not home when they attempted to speak to him but they later were able to speak to him and learned he was OK,” said Molendyk. “Investigators were not able to prove that alcohol was a factor but it is highly suspected in this case.”

Artist draws from fast-moving viewpoint The first artist to draw while flying at supersonic speed, Michael Markowsky is latest artist to take up residence at Mackie Lake House Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
The scent of lilac wafts through the air as Michael Markowsky observes the verdant, peaceful surroundings from the verandah at the century old Mackie Lake House in Coldstream. Using the full floor of the screened-in space, he places his brush into the can of latex acrylic paint, and adds a squiggled line to the 10-by-20-foot canvas, one of two he is working on as the latest artist to take up residency at the Mackie house. The serene environment is quite a departure from what the 36-year-old Vancouverbased artist experienced last July – back when his head was in the clouds, quite literally. As a member of Canada’s Department of National Defense war artists program, he was the first artist to make art while flying at supersonic speeds in a Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 hornet fighter jet plane. His work at the Mackie Lake House continues on that journey. “I’m trying to describe what it’s like to fly at the speed of sound,” said Markowsky, while taking a break from painting.“There’s nothing comfortable about that environment. Everything is stripped down and exposed.” A self-professed “quick drawer,” Markowsky has explored movement through art for the past 15 years. He’s created while strapped to a car roof, on a bus trip through Europe, from a train travelling across Canada, atop Arctic snow drifts, and this latest super-sonic journey. “I try to describe the landscape while travelling through the landscape,” he said. “Movement is how we experience the landscape. One hundred years ago, people were happy to stay in one place, now it’s not uncommon for people to travel 100 kilometres to work.” Markowsky has travelled quite a bit farther in his career. A native of Calgary and graduate of the Alberta College of Art and Design, he studied overseas then moved to L.A. to attend graduate school at the Art Center College of Design. After completing his studies, he was

He is the current artist-in-residence at the mackie Lake House and is about to show his work and give an artist talk at the Vernon Public art Gallery. offered a teaching job in California. While there, Markowsky embarked on an art project where he retraced the footsteps and pathways of various well-known figures. One of those was retracing the car chase of murder suspect O.J. Simpson. “I turned my art practice into an excuse to travel. My vacations turned into work,” he said. “I still approach art as they did 100 years ago. I ask myself, would Mattisse or Picasso be sitting in a studio or expressing art from the world they are living in?” After spending 12 years in California, Markowsky said he felt the pull back north after a visit to Calgary. He ended up moving to Vancouver around the time of the 2010 Winter Olympics. “I had started my green card application. It was a long and expensive process and then the economy in California tanked. When I went to visit Calgary, everything was building up. California was hit hard from the recession and it was like the Titanic sinking and me waiting to get on board.” That prior visit to Alberta served another purpose, as Markowsky was able to conduct an artist residency at the Banff Centre stemming from one of his “movement” projects, where he drew landscapes while taking a train across Canada. After being accepted into the Canadian Forces Artists Program (CFAP) five years ago, he joined the ranks of Canadian artists before him – David Milne, Group of Seven members, Alex Colville, among others – who have
recorded the actions and landscapes of the Canadian military since the First World War. “My grandfather was a mine sweeper in the navy in the Second World War and my uncle served, although he never saw combat. It was just an incredible opportunity to walk in someone else’s shoes,” said Markowsky. “I think that’s the role of an artist, to go out and see, share and experience what other people do and to do it in a personal, subjective way.” Markowsky’s first endeavour with the program was to visit the northern-most settlement in Canada, at CFS Alert on the northern tip of Ellesmere Island in Nunavut. Built as a weather station, CFS Alert was equipped with a distant early warning radar network during the Cold War and now houses between 40 to 50 military personnel. In April, 2012, Markowsky donned a B25 suit (which insulates in minus 25 degrees Celcius), mukluks and gloves to paint the landscape. “It was the most inconvenient, unimaginably hard process and I had to learn to work on the fly,” he said. “I like challenges and being outside the whole time in the freezing cold was definitely a challenge.” Markowsky’s second deployment with the CFAP was to CFB Cold Lake, Canada’s busiest airforce training and firefighting base in northeastern Alberta. Before arriving, he had to undergo intensive physical training and then went through a week of physical and mental preparedness at the base for what would come next - an hour-
and-a-half flight aboard the CF18 Hornet. Battling the weight of his G-force suit, which he compares to being trapped in a blood pressure band, Markowsky used a special knee pad to conduct his sketches, 100 in all, while in the air. “It was mind boggling for a million different reasons. It was a different way of flying than I had ever experienced before,” he said. “I was putting myself in a situation where I could die to make a couple of pictures... but there was also trust and an incredible amount of comfort.” Markowsky says he was able to overcome his nerves thanks to the piloting skills of Capt. Adam “Manik” Runge, a member of the CF-18 demonstration team who flies a specially painted Hornet to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. “As an artist, I was surprised I had more in common than expected with these men and women. Some of them became good friends,” said Markowsky, who describes himself as a pacifist. “The whole program is to honour and acknowledge those people, whether you agree with (the military) or not, they put their lives on the line to protect us.” Besides his three-week residency at the Mackie house, Markowsky is sharing his experiences with the CFAP program in the exhibition, Faster Than the Speed of Sound, which will run at the Vernon Public Art Gallery until June 27. He is showing the two giant 10-by20-foot paintings, which are based on the 100 drawings he made in the fighter plane, currently being created at the Mackie house, and 10 of the drawings he made during the flight. A video of footage from inside the plane will also be screened. A reception takes place Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. and will also be the opening of three other exhibitions: UBC Okanagan fine arts graduate show, Ellipses, Restless Fables by Powell River’s Meghan Hildebrand and Before and After, figurative work by Vernon’s Barbara Rety. Saturday, from noon to 1:30 p.m., Markowsky will be joined by musician Sam Davidson, of Vancouver band Brasstronaut, whom he met while at the Banff Centre residency, for an artist talk and performance at the gallery. Markowsky will discuss his journey to the North Pole with the RCAF in 2012, and will show a floor-to-ceiling video projection of photos and video from the trip, and do a live painting in response to the images. It will be followed by a live musical performance by Davidson’s latest project, electro-dance-jazz outfit Skim Milk.

The band will be playing groove tunes such as The Way You Make Me Feel (Michael Jackson), Three Little Birds (Bob Marley), Welcome to the Machine (Pink Floyd), and California Love (2Pac), some originals, as well as standards by jazz legends Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter. “My music is rooted in the legacy of all of our jazz forefathers and mothers, but my music is also inspired and influenced by many other artists and disciplines, such as R&B, hip hop, Afro-Cuban, rock, reggae, etc.,” said Nowosad. “Most importantly, no matter what kind of music we are playing, it always feels good, with a strong melody and dancing rhythm. The goal is to lift the music and to bring everyone in the audience along with us.” Joining Nowosad will be Derrick Gardner on trumpet, Will Bonness on piano, and Steve Kirby on bass. In the midst of their Western Canada tour, which started off in Edmonton, the band will be performing at the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, where they will be joined by tenor saxophonist Jimmy Greene. From there they will head into the studio to record Nowosad’s second album and then will jet off to take the stage at the Ottawa and Montreal Jazz Festivals. Originally from Winnipeg, Nowosad now lives and performs in New York. He has played with worldclass jazz musicians Stefon Harris, Miguel Zenon, and George Colligan to name but a few and recently recorded with pianist Kenny Barron and performed at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam as a recipient of the Keep an Eye on Jazz award. His newly released debut album, the skeptic & the cynic, spent two weeks at #1 on the !earshot Canadian Jazz Charts. Joining Nowosad is Gardner, who made his mark on the New York jazz scene when he moved there in 1991. Since then he has toured with The Count Basie Orchestra, Frank Foster’s Loud Minority Band, Harry Connick Jr.’s Big Band, The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, and Swiss tenor player Roman Schwaller’s European Sextet. He has also performed with the late Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Nancy Wilson, and Tony Bennett. Gardner’s own sextet, The Jazz Prophets, was formed in 1991. Their

most recent release, Echoes of Ethnicity, was heralded with rave reviews and was awarded Best Jazz Album of the Year by the Independent Music Awards. At 17, Bonness joined Maynard Ferguson’s Bip Bop Nouveau Band for a year-long world tour performing at venues such as the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London. After completing his music degree at the University of Manitoba he travelled to New York and Boston to continue his studies. He is currently an assistant professor of jazz piano at UofM. Kirby relocated from New York to Winnipeg in the early 2000s. He has recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in jazz including Elvin Jones, Wynton Marsalis, and Cyrus Chestnut. His most recent album, Stepchild, features the UofM jazz faculty known as The Northern Prairie Jazz Collective. Kirby acts not only as the director of jazz studies at UofM, but is also the director of the university’s summer jazz camp, artistic director of the Izzy Asper Jazz Performance Series, editor of dig! Magazine and the creator of The Bridge Program, an inner-city music outreach initiative. Opening for Nowosad will be Mica Lemiski, who is a singer-songwriter and pianist from Vernon. Lemiski has lived and performed in Montreal where she was a member of the a cappella group Soulstice A Cappella. She has most recently received her degree in creative writing and English from Western University. Lemiski takes the stage at 6:45 p.m. followed by Nowosad at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca.

season. The People Place will have their 13th Annual Garden Tour on June 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets are $15, and they are available at Art Knapp Plantland, Blue Mountain Nursery (Armstrong), Briteland, Swan Lake Nursery and The People Place. For more information you can call 250-558-6585. Seven gardens will be readily awaiting your visit on that day. I am proud to be making the list and so is another member from our garden club, Bill Hickey from East Hill. As our club didn’t have a plant sale this year, both of us will be offering some plants for sale at the time of the tour. For some of you that mentioned me on the phone that you would like to see my garden, this will be the occasion for a good cause. “People Place operates a centralized facility that provides affordable office and program space to non-profit agencies. Currently, there
are 14 social service agencies housed in People Place. The tenants work together to provide clients with services in an atmosphere of cooperation, respect and access for all.” On another subject, I have the bad habit of leaving my tools in the garden and often I lose them. In my 1,001 Gardening Secrets book, I found some tips that work really well. I tried this one on a screwdriver set which was very rusty, and was surprised with the result. Give rusty tools a vinegar bath: before you decide to throw away that rusty trowel or other gardening tool, try soaking it overnight in cider vinegar. Wipe away the residue with a cloth, and you may find it’s as good as new. Scour tools with homemade paste. Rusty gardening tools? Get them back in tiptop shape with a little salt and lemon juice. Mix enough salt into a tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon juice to make a paste,
apply to rusted areas with a dry cloth, and rub. Create a sandbox for your tools: mix 20 lbs (45 kg) of sand with 500 ml of motor oil. After using your tools, push them through this gritty, oily mixture a few times to clean and lubricate them for storage. Its an easy way to prolong the life of your tools and keep them rust-free. Dispense oil the easy way: oiling your tools doesn’t have to be a messy job. Put some mineral oil in an old bottle of lotion or hand soap and simply squirt it on your tools. Wipe them down with fine steel wool, and they are good as new. Turn away rust: help your wheelbarrow stand up to rust. Turn it on its side when you’re not using it. That way, water won’t collect in it and cause rust. If this one comes too late, rusty wheelbarrows make very nice planters. For more information: 250558-4556.
Air Cadets wrap up the season with ceremonial review Morning Star Staff
There are more than 24,000 Air Cadets across Canada and on Thursday, Vernon members will gather for their annual ceremonial review and open house. “The cadets are working hard to perfect their drill and static displays,” said Capt. Corey Schultz, squadron leader.
The review marks the end of the squadron’s training, allowing many cadets to prepare for summer camps. Taking the salute is Capt. Diane Blain, CD, a member of 223 Squadron from 1989 to 2004 who finished her career as captain. Cadet training is a hands-on, activitybased program that complements school
studies, and is open to youth age 12 to 18. Cadets boasts both astronaut Chris Hadfield and world junior biathlon champion JeanPhilippe Le Guellect as former members. The three-hour event takes place Thursday at Brigadier Murphy Armoury, 1811-29th St., beginning at 6:30 p.m. sharp; directional signs will be posted.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up

he weather has been great for the last week or so. The gardens are blooming and even with all the rain we had a while ago, everything gets dry very fast in the sun. The columbines are just beautiful this year. I have so many different colours in my garden. Jocelyne Sewell As they reseed themselves so easily, I will have to make sure I cut the blooms before they set seeds. It must have been the grey days of May that caused my irises to have such long stems. I have to stake some of them or they fall down in the wind but they make a nice cut flower and some have lovely scents. With June approaching, it means garden tour

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.
✁
Peek into local gardens
Chapman is coming to VERNON ON wEd. juNE. 11TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

M
y strawberries are already forming little berries and I can hardly wait for the first feast; however this will come in its own time, and until then, I suppose we have to be satisfied with the GMO supermarket imported variety — or not. As for today, I haven’t had my fill of Armstrong asparagus yet and wanted to offer a couple more recipes before the season finishes up for another year. I hope everyone has realized that the asparagus sold locally has very little waste, as they pick it at or near the natural breaking point which results in us not paying for all those inches of ined-
ible tough ends that we have to discard. The first recipe today is a wonderful quiche that can be made in season and also with frozen asparagus later in the year. It’s great for any brunch or luncheon. The second is a delicious asparagus casserole. It’s a good blend of flavours, with the almonds giving a nice crunch to the dish. Asparagus & Mushroom Quiche 5 slices bacon 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 cup portobello mushrooms, stem and ribs removed, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 cup chopped fresh asparagus 1 (8 inch) unbaked

um heat until evenly brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels, crumble and set aside. Heat oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add onions; cook and stir until translucent. Reduce the heat to medium and add the portobello mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender. Set aside. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook asparagus in boiling water until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately drain and run under cold water to cool. Brush the pie shell with the beaten egg white, if using. Place the onion and mushroom mixture, asparagus, and bacon into the bottom of the pie shell. Sprinkle the Cheddar and feta cheeses over the vegetables. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper until smooth. Pour this mixture over the vegetable and cheese filling. Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned on top. Let cool to room temperature before serving. Delicious! Asparagus Casserole 1 lb. fresh asparagus, cut into about 3” pieces 3/4 cup water 4 eggs 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons allpurpose flour Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup milk 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 pinch cayenne
pepper 4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed (or grated if you wish) 1/2 cup blanched almond halves 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a mediumsized casserole dish. Steam asparagus for 1-2 minutes in 3/4 cup water, covered. Remove from pan; run under cold water. Reserve cooking water. Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop. In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of reserved asparagus water and the milk; cook (stirring constantly) until the sauce is thickened and smooth. If the mixture is too thick, more milk can be added until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper. Remove the pan from the heat. Layer the asparagus, eggs, cheese, and almonds into the casserole. Repeat the layering until all of the ingredients are used. Spoon the sauce over the layers and sprinkle with crumbs. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

Culture support grows
C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE
Shadowhunters and demons square off for the final showdown in the spellbinding, seductive conclusion to the #1New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Darkness has descended on the Shadowhunter world. Chaos and destruction overwhelm the Nephilim as Clary, Jace, Simon, and their friends band together to fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary’s own brother. Nothing in this world can defeat Sebastian—but if they journey to the realm of demons, they just might have a chance… Lives will be lost, love sacrificed, and the whole world will change. Who will survive the explosive sixth and final installment of the Mortal Instruments series?

A Vernon campaign to support cultural endeavours has provincewide appeal. The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce’s call for stable funding and strategic investment in B.C.’s public arts and cultural sector got support from those attending the B.C. Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting in Richmond on the weekend. “A creative and innovative workforce is absolutely essential if we are to increase our global competitiveness and strengthen our economic future,” said Adrian Johnson, GVCC president. “Consistent and long term funding in B.C.’s public art galleries, museums and cultural organizations will lay the foundation that is needed to foster a strong workforce.” The resolution recommends the provincial government foster capital investment in B.C.’s public
“A creative workforce is essential.”
— Adrian Johnson art galleries, museums and cultural organizations while also reviewing the current funding structure to ensure operational security for those organizations. “Our chamber is committed to creating a more business-friendly community. This policy will help achieve that outcome,” said Dan Rogers, GVCC general manager. “We’re appreciative of the support we received from other chambers around the province.”

The public will once again be able to have its say at Lake Country council meetings. And local politicians will as well, at least until closer to the 2014 municipal elections. Lake Country council decided to reinstate public and councilor comment portions of its regular council meetings at its May 20 council meeting. The regular public time allotment as well as the time each municipal councilor can say something that is not related to the agenda, had been suspended during election years at Lake Country council after one too many people used the time as an election pulpit. But the current Lake Country council decided not allowing public comment for the entire year was stifling the public’s ability to approach council and bring up topics that are on their mind. At each regular Lake County council meeting, members of the public are invited to an open mic at the start of the meeting and are able to speak on any topic. At the end of the meetings, each councilor can also speak, usually passing on information on meetings, festivals or pertinent meetings they have attended. But in election years those times have been shut down in the past and so far in 2014. But council decided to reinstate the public and councilor times until the end of September when the public comment time will once again be shut down. The reasoning behind limiting council and public open discussion is to limit people’s ability to use the council meeting as a platform for the municipal elections. This year, voters will go to the polls in a general municipal election in B.C. Nov. 15.

Liberals back mussels fight jennifer smith Black Press
Only a handful of people opposed a resolution to tackle the threat of quagga and zebra mussels when delegates at the B.C. Liberal convention put it to a vote Saturday. A single female mussel can lay up to a million eggs annually, destroying the ecosystem where the larva are deposited. The mollusks release a nasty neurotoxin, which leaves a welt similar to a bee sting on those who walk the beach barefoot. And it populates so quickly it’s hard to not to step on one in an infested area. From clogging water intakes in municipal water Nelson Jatel systems to costing boat owners thousands to strip them from hulls and propellers, the mussels leave a wake of destruction — even leading to downturns in waterfront real estate prices in the Great Lakes. “It changes the quality of life in places like the Okanagan,” said Nelson Jatel, Okanagan Basin Water Board water stewardship director. He told convention delegates in Kelowna the OBWB’s estimates peg damages in the $20 to 30 million dollars range, annually, if the mussels make it into B.C. streams and lakes. The threat is all too real this year after an infected boat nearly crossed the border in Osoyoos, stopped only by a vigilant border guard who took the time to contact conservation officers, though there is technically no law to permitting a search or seizure of boats with mussels. “There’s really two deficits right now. One is the federal government needs to reform one of their regulations to be able to stop quagga and zebra mussels at the border. You can’t take an apple across and you can’t take soil across, but you can take invasive mussels across,” said Jatel. “And then provincially, the provincial government has an opportunity to really build on the resolution that was passed today and really develop some kind of a program to either sticker boats or
Gerry M. Laarakker, Lawyer
Q: A:
Why Health Care Directives?
You should have a Health Care Directive to alert your physician and family to the kind of health care you desire when you are nearing the end of your life or are otherwise ill and are unable to speak for yourself. Imagine having your kids squabble about which medical treatment a parent should receive at the end of their life. If you leave clear instructions, everyone will know what to do when that time comes. There are essentially three kinds of Health Care Directives. A Living Will, an Advanced Health Care Directive and a Representation Agreement. The one you require can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. There is a lot of confusion about these Directives. Some groups in town have had speakers who have made significant errors in their speeches about these documents. Speak to someone who knows. 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.
at least ensure that people who are boating on our lakes don’t have these mussels.” The resolution suggests boat owners pay for a sticker to put on their boat that would generate awareness and the funds needed to run inspection stations at the provincial and national borders. Echoing programs already developed in other jurisdictions, the awareness campaign would include tickets and fines to recreational boaters who have not purchased a sticker and would dovetail with programs in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Washington and Idaho. Victoria resident Janta Quigley said the problem threatens her area as well and told delegates she’s looking for an education program that would pull in multiple stakeholders, leaning on sectors like the tourism to help spread the word.

The Regional District of North Okanagan has praised its planning staff which received a gold award for excellence in planning practice from the Planning Institute of British Columbia (PIBC). The award was for the regional growth strategy monitoring and evaluation program called Are we there yet, worked on by regional growth strategy co-ordinator Anthony Kittel and Will Trousdale, from EcoPlan International, under the guidance of acting administrator Rob Smaile. The two-year project included input from planning staff from all jurisdictions in the region and unprecedented public response. “The team was recognized for their efforts to turn policy into reality, using community partnerships to secure funding, and engaging the public with creative approaches for participation,” said RDNO vice-chairperson Rick Fairbairn in announcing the honour. The program was designed to guide local and regional decision making, increase understanding of complex regional issues, engage the public in regional planning and promote transparency by measuring and communicating the regional growth strategy progress. The monitoring and evaluation program resulted in the development of innovative tools and approaches that can be used by other regional districts and municipalities within their own planning processes.

Vernon Kal Tire’s Rodney Goodchild (right) and Salmon Arm Beer Badgers’ Joe Vieira stretch it out for a loose ball in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #4. Kal Tire won 2-1.
Kal Tire bounce Badgers Morning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire held off the stubborn Salmon Arm Beer Badgers 2-1 in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #4. The Badgers (1-5) came out and applied steady pressure on the Tiremen (5-1-1), who opened the offence at 23 minutes when Jesse Knight broke down the right side and found Tyler Johnson streaking to the middle. Johnson hit a one-timer giving Salmon Arm keeper Brad (Coolio) Young no chance. Play went back and forth the rest of the half with no further scoring.
In the second half, the Beer Badgers struck midway through with a blistering 25-yarder. Kal Tire stopper Ryan Sharp got a ball about 22 yards out and placed a great shot over Young’s reach at 80 minutes, for the winner. Meanwhile, Big O Tire-Turn-Key Ogopogos got back to .500 with a 5-3 win over Pushor Mitchell at Rutland Sports Fields. The win was costly as the Ogopogos lost star striker Roland Riedstra with a collapsed lung after he scored and then collided with a defender early in the first
#
1
half. Riedstra will be sidelined for at least six weeks. It was an early blitz of rushes and goals for the Ogopogos (3-3) as Parm Kler scored after receiving an awesome pass from rookie Duane Dennis, who deked keeper Chris Turbitt out of position and found the open net. Riedstra made it 2-0. Just before half-time, Pushor Mitchell was awarded a penalty kick after a foul inside the 18, and converted. Seconds later, striker Mark Wasylyk made a nifty move around Turbitt and gave Big O a 3-1 lead at the break.

Dave Robinson will spend the summer working at Coldstream Ranch and pondering his future. Robinson, 24, has left the Vernon Vipers’ den after two years as an assistant coach with the B.C. Hockey League team. He is a Vernon minor hockey product and former Viper captain. “It is time for me to explore new options moving forward in my life,” said Robinson. “I would like to thank Duncan Wray, Jason Williamson and Dave Robinson Kris Mallette, and the entire Vipers organization for the opportunity they have given me. I would also like to thank the fans of Vernon for all their support the last two years.” The Vipers will just go with Williamson and Mallette as associate coaches next season. “Dave was a Viper through and through,” said Williamson, also the Vernon GM. “He’s got to explore other options and now’s the time to do it. He brought passion as an assistant coach and I understand why he’s leaving. He’s 24 years old. I didn’t know what I wanted to do when I was 24. I didn’t want to see him go.” Robinson joined the Vipers midway through the 2009-10 season from the WHL Chilliwack Bruins and helped Vernon claim the 2010 Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin, Man. He was captain the following season when the Vipers lost the 2011 RBC final, 2-0, to the Pembroke Lumber Kings, in Camrose, Alta. “It’s all good,” said Robinson, whose late grandfather, Vern Dye, helped found the Vernon franchise and the B.C. Junior Hockey League. “I kept my focus in the RBC and kept my head and heart with the team. After it was over, I sat down and talked to my parents and decided it was time to move on.” Robinson joined the coaching staff after one year of playing CIS with the University of Calgary Dinosaurs. “Coaching’s something I can always go back to down the road.” The fearless winger rung up 43 points and 265 penalty minutes with Chilliwack and 75 points and 188 PIM with Vernon.

United U15s gain clutch Rep sweep The Vernon United U15 boys stopped their winless streak at three games with a weekend sweep in the Thompson Okanagan Rep Soccer League. United grounded host Shuswap Selects 6-1 Saturday and held off firstplace Penticton Pinnacles 4-3 Sunday at Marshall Field #5. Vernon got goals from five different players at Blackburn Park in Salmon Arm with Joshua Gray converting a Sam Eggert corner at two minutes. Eight minutes later, Owen Burnet fed Mees Geelkerken, who fired home his third goal in league play. Shey Townley made it 3-0 in the 15th minute, while Malcolm Wiens got back to form slotting home a Townley feed just before the half. The second half saw Vernon maintaining possession and adding two more goals, one from Wiens and the other by Kevin Thibault from 18 yards. Shuswap scored in the 65th minute. Gavin Mason and Elias Jensen were solid in controlling the midfield while Connor London and James Huntington moved the ball along the flanks. “The boys played really well today,” said Vernon co-coach Rolf Hirschkorn. “They moved the ball well and supported each other on the field.” Wyatt Carter made an impressive return from injury. Sunday’s performance was certainly more intense as Vernon squeaked out a thrilling win over the Pinnacles. Expecting Penticton to possess much of the ball, Vernon was surprised at the amount of attacking chances afforded. Townley was brought down by a late challenge in the 19th minute and the penalty was clinically converted by midfielder Owen Burnet. Just two minutes later, Wiens doubled the lead after a nice feed from Geelkerken. Things looked well in hand till the dying seconds of the half when Penticton responded. The second half saw the onset of rain, intensity and three yellow cards. Wiens restored the two-goal cushion three minutes into the half, being sent in by Gray. The festivities were shortlived as Penticton countered two minutes later and pressed hard to get the equalizer midway through the half. Wiens had several chances that were all denied by the keeper, including a clear breakaway. At 67 minutes, Wiens was
taken down by the keeper and another penalty kick was given. Burnet, who has been money from the spot this year, converted again for the win. Peter Hirschkorn was his dominant self on the back line and Harvey Pawsey made some key saves in the second half Charis Ondrik was also singled out with solid play as a holding midfielder. “A great win for the boys”, said United co-coach Erick Burnet. “We’ve managed to be the only team to defeat Penticton this season and the boys are buying into the system of play.” Vernon’s next league game is against Kamloops Blue on Sunday at Marshall #4 at noon.

Terry Petersen completed the scoring with a nice header off a corner from Henry Czerwonka, returning after missing a few games from a painful tax season. Pushor (2-4) replied with two late goals. Ruben Cerventez was marvellous at center half to take the Taco Bell Man of the Match. Keeper Paul Hunter was solid and took honourable mention. Vernon Liquor Store Stars vaulted into third place by grounding Cantinas 3-1 in Rutland. Art Renaud jumpstarted Vernon on a first-half breakaway. Cantinas levelled things early in the second before Rick Danlyuk one-timed a volley, from six yards, the assist going to Andy Whiston. John Matejicka added insurance on a counterattack for the 4-1-1 Stars. Midfielder Paul McArdle, who turned heads with a dazzling table dance at the long weekend tournament, earned On The Roxx Man of the Match. Vernon Bosman Accounting, with an influx of newbies, surprised RPM Automotive 4-3 at Parkinson #8 Field. RPM controlled most of the first-half play, but fell behind 3-0 as Henk Bosman, on a penalty kick, Kerry Correia, on a stellar run after a feed from Rolf Hirschkorn, and Ian Murphy, with superb finish on a pass from Remco Wijnhorst, supplied goals. Dave Newman, with a deuce, and Doug Roth, replied in the first 27 minutes of the second half as RPM took advantage of the wind. Bosman only had a couple of chances in the final half and winger Dan Pawsey went hard to the net and one-touched in a gorgeous cross from the right flank by Bosman, for the winner, in the 83rd minute. Bosman keeper Yogi Kongsdorf – the Safeway Man of the Match – registered back-to-back allplanet saves from in tight, in the final minutes. Both teams are 2-4. First-place Penticton United clipped Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels 2-1 at Marshall #1. Mike Beliveau put United (6-0) ahead at 15 minutes, going around Ron Krause as the Camel blew his hamstring. The Humpbacks (2-3-1) equalized late in the half when Paul Morgan’s high free kick deflected off the Penticton wall. The kick was awarded when Steve Milne was ambushed just outside the 18. Steve Grant beat a couple of defenders and buried a corker, top left corner, for the winner, at 60 minutes, past Camel keeper Dave Dutcher. Al Gee of the Camels missed half an open net with seconds remaining.
Tigers... Continued from A26
Jorgensen is light years ahead of everyone in scoring with 25 goals and 43 points. “It was more of a system breakdown more than anything. We weren’t doing enough on their transition and fast-break game,” said Tigers’ coach Myles Brumpton. “We made adjustments after the 10-minute mark in the first and I thought we outplayed them the rest of the way.” The Tigers (4-2) saw the return of Simon Fraser University defenceman Bayne Bosquet, who had an immediate impact as he recorded a hatty. “He is our leader on the floor and a vocal leader. He is one of the best defencemen in the league; it is great to get him back,” said Hanna. Colorado State edged SFU 5-3 in the men’s Collegiate Field Lacrosse Association first-round playoff game, May 12, in Irvine, Calif. Darryl Landels, Hanna and Jordan Orr added singles for the Tigers.
Meanwhile, the Vipers officially announced that winger Tyler Povelofskie has been sent to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs to complete the Craig Martin for Jared Wilson trade last fall. “I told him that when you host a national championship, the price tag is going to be higher,” said Williamson. “He’s a terrific kid and I’d love to have him back, but I couldn’t do it.” A 17-year-old Williams Lake product, the hardhitting Povelofskie collected two goals, five points and 51 penalty minutes in the regular season. Williamson still has to send future considerations to the Surrey Eagles to complete the deal for Brett Mulcahy. The Penticton Vees have signed goalie Brendan Barry, who was 15-1-2 with the B.C. Major Midget League champion Okanagan Rockets. Barry boosted the Rockets past the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs in the Pacific Regional championship, and started six of the Rockets’ seven games at the 2014 Telus Cup in Moose Jaw where they took a bronze medal.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held in the Board Room of the Regional District of North Okanagan, 9848 Aberdeen Road, Coldstream, B.C. on June 4, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. to hear representations on the following matter: ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT BYLAW No. 2589, 2013 [Agri-Tourism Accommodation Provisions] The intent of this bylaw is to amend the Regional District of North Okanagan Zoning Bylaw No. 1888, 2003 to establish regulations related to Agri-Tourism Accommodations on lands located within the Agricultural Land Reserve and within Electoral Areas “D”, “E” and “F” and the Westside boundary of Electoral Area “B”.

Bridge by Phillip Alder IF YOU NEED ONE, RETAIN ONLY ONE H.L. Mencken said, “An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.” Or maybe that is someone who jumps too quickly to conclusions, which is also not a good idea at the bridge table. In today’s deal, South is in seven spades. West leads the heart queen. How should declarer deliberate? North’s raise to three spades promised some points. South’s plunge into seven spades was optimistic because he knew that he could not reach the dummy unless it contained the heart
queen or a heart shortage. It would have been wiser to stop in six -- except that that would have ruined the column! Someone who is impulsive will win with his heart ace, cash the diamond ace and heart king, then ruff a heart on the board. But East would overruff to defeat the contract. Yes, South needs to ruff a heart and discard his second low heart on the diamond king, but he needs only one trump for one ruff. So, he should start by drawing two rounds of trumps. Then he unblocks the diamond ace, cashes the second top heart, and ruffs a heart in the dummy. Here, his care
is rewarded when East has doubletons in both majors. South pitches his last heart on a high diamond, ruffs a diamond back to his hand, draws West’s last trump, and claims. A broad smile is permitted from North!

Dorothy Edith Hurtnole Robertson of Armstrong, BC passed away in Vernon Jubilee Hospital on May 21, 2014. Dorothy was born to Arthur and Gertrude Holden on June 19, 1926 in Vancouver, BC, moving to Trail, BC at the age of 12. There she met the love of her life, Doug on a blind date. They married on July 4, 1946. A year later they began their family, raising three children. Dorothy was a wonderful homemaker: sewing, cooking, home baked bread and cookies, a gardener who preserved the fruits of her labour, was talented at doing crafts, having crocheted, copper work, leather work, and especially her ceramics. She was a member of the Pythian Sisters and was active in her church ladies group. She helped prepare meals for the Armstrong I.P.E. for many years. Dorothy was a much loved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. People always felt welcome in her home. People will remember her wonderful laugh. Dorothy is survived by her children: Phyllis (Gordie), Jeannette (Ted), Doug (Bozena); sister: Audrey; grandchildren: Dale (Sandra), Marilyn (Todd), Bonnie (Todd), Shannon (Robert), Carlene (Ben), Brye; 11 great grandchildren and other family and friends.

very spring, the freshet is a concern for residents in communities throughout the Shuswap. Having lived here for most of my life, I understand the danger and threat of flooding brings to communities in our region.

and their possessions destroyed by natural disasters is unimaginable. Recently, on May 3, when the landslide hit the Shuswap River near Kingfisher, I drove out to meet with officials and first responders to survey the damage and find out what actions were taken by local authorities. I commend the men and women who worked so hard to ensure all impacted residents were safe, and clear the slide debris so roads could be reopened. Our government continues to provide support, co-ordination and guidance to the local authority as needed.

The province will also pay for all eligible response and recovery activities undertaken, as we recognize that all necessary decisions made in this emergency are best undertaken by local authorities. The best way to prevent damage in our communities going forward is investing in flood mitigation projects in our communities. On May 2, our government invested $333,333 in flood mitigation funding along with an additional $666,667 of funds shared between the Government of Canada and the City of Enderby to upgrade the Regent Avenue lift station, protecting 60 businesses

and 250 homes in the area. I commend the City of Enderby for being proactive in applying for this funding so the community can be better prepared for higher water flows. Not only will the main commercial area and nearby neighbourhoods be protected, but jobs and economic benefits will be created in the community with these upgrades. As your MLA, I will continue to work with local government, regional districts and my colleagues to find new solutions to prevent flooding from impacting our communities.
