Case made for political pay raise Vernon’s mayor believes civic leaders should be paid more in the future. The City of Vernon’s 2013 annual report shows that Mayor Rob Sawatzky had a salary of $63,466 while the base salary for each councillor was $20,474. “I would like to see it higher,” said Sawatzky. For Sawatzky, the current remuneration could Rob Sawatzky be a stumbling block for recruiting members of the community to put careers and families aside and run for council. “It will allow you to select from a larger pool

of people. Right now, you select from a pool of people where money doesn’t matter,” he said of retirees or business owners. However, Sawatzky admits there are challenges related to increasing council salaries and the primary one is the burden on taxpayers. “Vernon is big enough that there’s a lot of work for mayor and council but it’s a size of community that can’t easily pay more,” he said. Councillors can also submit for meeting pay and that led Coun. Juliette Cunningham having a total remuneration of $22,940 and Coun. Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe at $21,981. Councillors Catherine Lord, Patrick Nicol, Bob Spiers and Brian Quiring all receive the base salary of $20,474. Salaries for mayor and council are one-third tax-free.

A charge of second-degree murder has been laid in connection with a Lumby homicide. Police received a report shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday of a disturbance in the 300 block of Trinity Valley Road. Found inside the home was the body of a woman, identified as Linda Marie Stewart, 51, a Lumby resident who worked as a Vernon school teacher. Also in the home was a man suffering from an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound. The man was taken by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital in serious condition and in police custody. Police have said nobody else was in the home at the time of the murder. It is believed the suspect and victim had been in a relationship for a brief period of time. Howard Everett of Lumby has been charged with seconddegree murder. Everett was scheduled to make his first court appearance in Kelowna Provincial Court Tuesday, but police say he remains in hospital receiving treatment related to a selfinflicted gunshot wound. The Southeast District Major Crime Unit, with assistance from the Vernon-North Okanagan detachment’s General Investigation Section, and the BC Coroners Service continue to investigate the murder. Anyone with any information who has yet to speak with police are asked to contact the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Fewer staff, large salaries highlight report being transferred to the regional district. In the annual report, there are 84 employees who earned more than $75,000, with 28 of them coming from the fire department. “This is the same in all communities where there is a career firefighting force,” said Brent Bond, Vernon Professional Firefighters Association president. Bond says part of the wage increase for firefighters is because retroactive pay for 2010 and 2011 was received
in 2013. Topping the list of “The city also chooses employees earning to operate on minimum more than $75,000 was staffing levels and pay Will Pearce, the city’s overtime.” chief adminisVernon’s trative officer, c a r e e r with $178,131 firefightin wages and ers work expenses.

Vernon officials are reconsidering whether mixed martial arts competitions should be banned. On Monday, council deferred three readings of a bylaw that would prohibit professional and amateur mixed martial arts events within municipal limits. “It was too all encompassing,” said Coun. MaryJo O’Keefe of the concern the ban would prevent young students from local mixed martial arts schools from participating in tournaments. “They have inter-community competitions and we have to make sure we’re not making it impossible to have those competitions.” Coun. Bob Spiers says the goal of the bylaw was always professional MMA events, and the rules, as
is, could be misinterpreted. “We might ban local gyms from having a contest. We want to make sure we’re not making that illegal.” Before the bylaw comes back to council for consideration, staff will research the definition of an MMA contest and whether it includes tournaments hosted by schools. The city moved towards a ban on MMA events because there had been a concern from the police about criminal activity within the sport. While Mayor Rob Sawatzky admits organized crime is not involved in children’s competitions, he says the city has to consider the health of its citizens. “The discussion could move along with a talk about blows to the head,” he said.

Someone has taken Coldstream’s Violet Nolan’s means of mobility. And as a 72-year-old who has broken nearly every bone in her body as she struggles with severe osteoporosis, Nolan’s Quantum 1121 power wheelchair is essential. Normally, Nolan locks up her Quantum to a post on the deck outside her Kalamalka Road home. On June 16, feeling tired from appointments, Nolan went to bed early and forgot to lock up her chair.
VERNON’s FAVOURITE REPAIR GUY. BC’s FAVOURITE SHOP.
In the morning, Nolan discovered it was missing. “It’s 300 pounds and there’s no key for it, you just press a button and it goes,” said Nolan. “I need this chair for my mobility. If I fall, I’ll likely break something.” The chair is a 2008 model, sunburst orange in colour with a safety vest taped to the back. There is also a chain and combination lock attached to it. The chair’s serial number is J1121J6920806289020. Anybody with any information on the power chair is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-5457171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
at a total of $126,809. Mayor Rob Sawatzky admits some residents may question the increasing salaries at city hall. “The cost of living and wage settlements continue to rise,” he said, adding that retain-
ing and attracting staff is important. “We agonize over the cost every year and we try to keep the budget within limitations but we have to deal with the realities of the day. We have to compete with the market.”
Sawatzky added that staff increases fall within the 1.8 per cent budget cap established by council. The annual report will be the focus of a public input session July 14 at 4:30 p.m. at city hall.

“We’re going to see who will admit to it. Breaching confidentially is an egregious thing and you can’t do it,” said Baker in an interview. He added that incamera rules protect the district and staff during restructuring. When asked if the RCMP will be asked to investigate the alleged breach, Baker said, “Only if we have to if people don’t come forward.” Rose calls the breach of in-camera claims “posturing,” and says, “I’ve talked to a few people at the (municipal) hall and I can deduce what’s going on.”

In the end, it was a job only one man wanted. Stephen Fuhr, a former fighter pilot with the Canadian Air Force, was acclaimed Sunday as the federal Liberal candidate in Kelowna-Lake Country for the next election in 2015. He will challenge incumbent federal Conservative Ron Cannan, who has held the riding for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government since 2006. Stephen Fuhr “We need someone in Ottawa with a strong voice who will ensure our needs are given the traction they deserve,” said Fuhr following his nomination. “The Harper government has lost touch with Canadians and, in fact, lost touch with reality.” Fuhr, 45, is a former CF-18 fighter pilot and a
20-year veteran of the Canadian Air Force. After his career in the military ended in 2009, he helped lead his family’s Kelowna-based SkyTrac Systems to substantial growth despite the global recession. The family eventually sold the business and, in 2012, Fuhr returned to the air as a private pilot. He said the government’s controversial multibillion dollar F-35 fighter plan purchase pulled him into politics. “The more I thought about this, the less it was about an aircraft purchase,” Fuhr said. “I started to think about the underlying issues and the reasons that this government got things wrong far more often than they got it right. A fundamental lack of transparency and accountability came to mind, something that is essential for the effective operation of our democracy.” Fuhr said he plans to immediately start meeting local civic leaders in all fields to understand fully the issues most important to Kelowna-Lake Country.

Rick Lavin has been impressed with the Upper Room Mission’s activities since he began as general manager.

New manager ready to serve richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Rick Lavin moved through the ranks of the RCMP for 30 years, but he believes he has found his true calling in Vernon. Lavin recently took up new duties as general manager of the Upper Room Mission, which provides meals and other services to people in need. “My dream was to give back to Canada what Canada gave to me,” said Lavin, who retired in 2011 as the officer in charge of the RCMP’s professional standards in B.C. He relocated from Burnaby to Vernon in 2011 and was looking to get involved in the community. It was the Upper Room Mission’s advertisement for a general manager that caught his eye. “It hit home and it hard fast,” he said of his interest in the position. Lavin has been on the job for a couple of weeks. “I’m in awe. They serve more meals than most restaurants do in a day, there are two retail stores, an outreach program and a women’s centre,” he said. “What these people have done with almost absolutely nothing astounds me.”
Lavin’s experiences as an RCMP officer have convinced him that agencies such as URM are essential because they provide people with hope and tackle key issues like homelessness, substance abuse and mental illness. “This is critically important to downtown Vernon and the citizens of Vernon,” he said, adding that the mission’s clients have something to offer the community. “It comes down to people helping people. Sometimes I’m not sure who’s doing that, our guests helping us or us helping them.” Lavin has some long-term goals for URM. “I’d like to grow the mission further than it is. I’d like to further partnerships with government and non-government agencies,” he said, referring to housing and employment opportunities. “I’m looking at the possibility of purchasing or leasing a large space or bringing skill sets on like nursing or social workers. But funding is always an issue.” He wants to get businesses, residents and religious groups, no matter their faith, involved. “As a united force, I hope to attack poverty,” said Lavin.
Shots fired in Vernon neighbourhood Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are investigating a shots fired complaint early Tuesday. Reports of shots being fired in the 3200 block of 22nd Street, on Vernon’s East Hill, came in at around 1 a.m. “Police responded and their initial investigation determined there had been an altercation between two men who are known to each other,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “One of the men had already departed the scene and the second male was subsequently arrested for an outstanding warrant on an unrelated matter.” Police are continuing their investigation, including efforts to locate the second male, and want to assure the public that this incident does not appear to be a random act. The police are asking anyone who may have heard the shots being fired or an argument in the
area to please contact them at 250 545-7171 or call Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-8477.

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).
to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

A balancing act
oliticians traditionally dodge questions about salary because any response can come across as self-serving and fuel the perception they’re only in it for the money. So I was somewhat surprised Monday when Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky actually indulged my question about council remuneration and whether there should be a raise. “I would like to see it higher,” he said. Sawatzky’s reasoning is the current level of pay isn’t enough to encourage people to abandon their careers or interrupt precious time with their family. And he has a point because there’s more to elected office than just sitting at a council meeting twice a month. Committee and regional meetings fill the rest of the calendar, and there are endless hours spent reading reports so you are informed about issues requiring a decision. On top of this, there are nonstop calls and e-mails from Richard Rolke constituents and attending the fundraisers and social events people expect to see their community leaders at. For the base salary of $20,474, it hardly seems worth it to become a councillor in Vernon. However, there may be a reason to consider running for mayor given the base salary of $63,466. The recent Vital Signs report indicates the median employment income is $47,354 for those working full-time, year-round, while the City of Vernon’s community profile says the median income for men is $35,575 and for women it is $23,000, slightly below the provincial average. No matter which statistic you use, it’s still well below what the mayor takes home. It should also be pointed out that provincial rules call for one-third of the remuneration earned by mayors and councillors to be tax-free, so that brings an additional financial boost to the recipient. During the interview, Sawatzky also raised

another issue about compensation. “It (higher salary) will allow you to select from a larger pool of people,” he said of voters considering the list of candidates. “Right now, you select from a pool of people where money doesn’t matter.” And if you look at the current make-up of Vernon council, he is right. Of the six council members, three are retired and three own their own businesses, which provides them some flexibility. Missing are the rank-and-file folks who contribute to taxes and rely on city services. There’s no question that a mill worker, a minimum wage earner at a big box store or a tradesperson would bring a different perspective to the discussions around council chambers. They have different life experiences. However, those voices aren’t heard because the average citizen can’t afford to take time away from their day job no matter how much they want to give back to the community (another factor is that council meetings are in the afternoon). But while Sawatzky raises some salient comments about how remuneration negatively impacts the democratic process, they shouldn’t be misconstrued as a demand for more dough. Sawatzky is very aware of what’s been happening in the community since the economic downturn. “Vernon’s big enough that there’s a lot of work for mayor and council but it’s a size of community that can’t easily pay more,” he said. It’s unknown if Sawatzky will seek a second term or if he will return to his more lucrative medical practice, so his comments aren’t personally motivated. He is looking at the big picture. The debate in Vernon is one that could be replicated in every jurisdiction in the province. How do you urge a broad spectrum of people to be active in the community without nailing taxpayers to the wall or turning what should be public service into a well-paying, career gig? Ultimately, there are no easy solutions but hopefully trying to make the community a better place to live will continue to be the thrust behind running for office.
A story broke late last week about a woman on Westside Road who came home to find a cougar in her living room, with one of her dog’s chew toys in its mouth. The conservation officer was eventually forced to kill the cougar. The most shocking, and saddest, part of this story is not that the cougar died; it’s the vitriol that has been spewed at the conservation officer on media websites carrying the article. “That S.O.B.” “Wish the cougar would have gotten one of them first.” Such comments are not only uncalled for, they are ignorant. The bottom line is, conservation officers are exactly that: conservation officers. They are not hired to kill wildlife, and to a person, they will say it’s the part of their job they despise the most. Killing an animal is a last resort for them. In this case, that cougar had become so comfortable around human scent that it entered a home and was sprawled out on a living room rug. Yes, it was a chew toy in the cat’s mouth. It could just as easily have been a toddler. This is a wild carnivore. It will attack, kill and eat many creatures smaller than it, or perceived as weaker. Cougars are “beautiful, majestic” animals, as one poster describes, but they are also predators. And relocating cougars is next to impossible. Many cougars found in populated areas are young males and they are there because they’re trying to seek out their own territory and that can lead to run-ins with us. In the end, the public needs to allow conservation officers to do their jobs. They don’t need to be secondguessed when there’s a potential danger to human life. – Campbell River Mirror

Coaching is a huge commitment
o all coaches: recently my wife and I have had opportunities to watch our grandchildren playing sports, including lacrosse and soccer, both in Kamloops and in Edmonton. Our children grew up in Vernon and were involved in various sports at school, and at the community level, they were also involved in soccer. As adults, they are still actively involved playing soccer and coaching, one at school, and one in the community. Whether Kamloops, Edmonton, Vernon or any other communities, children benefit immensely from the dedicated and talented coaches who offer their time and talents to coach our children and
neceSSary fighT I believe it is of great importance to your readers that they understand the important facts behind the current BCTF job action. Negotiations have always been testy between the government of B.C. and teachers. Both the NDP and Liberals (former Socreds) have had difficulties in the past. Unfortunately in this instance, the struggle is almost completely out of control. In 2002, with Christy Clark as minister of education, the government unilaterally gutted the contracts of both the teachers and other government workers, including the health care unions. In essence, the government removed working conditions established legally through collective bargaining. The B.C. government also barred even negotiating such agreements in the future. Working conditions are an integral part of any collective agreement because they determine, in part, how long a worker can practice their craft. Bad working conditions usually result in early retirement due to burn-out or mental illness. Working conditions are as necessary to a collective agreement as a salary grid, hence modifying them without going through the collective process is, in a way, tantamount to theft. In 2007, B.C. health care unions won an action in the Supreme Court
our grandchildren. We see huge improvements in their skill levels and confidence. I hope you will join us in saying thank you to all coaches everywhere in all sports The next time you see a bunch of athletes take to the field, please consider that the coaches are donating their time for our children. I know that many of them also have children who are playing, and many play multiple sports. It’s a huge commitment, especially with tournaments. Thank you coaches. Tom Skinner
of Canada (SCC) that struck down this legislation, Bill 28, as illegal in respect to Canada’s Constitution. Teachers launched their own action in the B.C. Supreme Court in 2008. Their case borrowed heavily from the precedent set by our most powerful court. After a lengthy legal struggle, the BCSC ruled in favour of the teachers, but recognized that the judgment was going to prove expensive for the B.C. government as well as difficult to implement. In recognition of this, the court suspended the judgment for a full year. During that year, it would appear our provincial government did little to come to terms with their – our dilemma. After a year and one day, they brought in another statute, Bill 22. This bill was essentially a duplication of Statute 28-2002, although it did have a sunset clause in respect to negotiating working conditions. Teachers again returned to courts and on Jan. 27, 2014, won again. Madam Justice Griffin also determined the government appeared to be bargaining in bad faith with teachers in that they were trying to foment an illegal job action on the part of the teachers. The government of B.C. has appealed this latest ruling to the B.C. Court of Appeals, to be heard some time in the future. At the same
time, they are attempting to settle a collective agreement that would undermine the teachers’ litigation. It would appear to me that the government’s chances in both cases are slim and none. But then I’m not a lawyer, only a graduate from two B.C. universities (BA, M.Ed) and a former air traffic control union rep, the latter perhaps of greater value in understanding frosty government relations. I learned in the past, as a young man, that there could be no running away from a bully, eventually you have to stand and fight. This, teachers appear to be doing. But, then what choice do they have? As hard as it is on the kids, and two of them are my grandsons, it is a necessary fight. Bill Dunsmore TeacherS DiSpuTe It seems these two bodies lack common sense. Strikes and walkouts always seem to occur when it causes the most damage and chaos for students and parents. In any given year of 365 days, a teacher works around 190, not including pro D-days and sick leave, so the lowest paid, factoring the mandated hours, makes $36 per hour, plus health and pension benefits, which goes up accordingly to pay scale, $60,000 works out to $53 per hour, $80,000 to $72 per hour
and so on. Please remember these are estimates. The teacher gets to go to the same property every day to a building, designed, built, furnished, heated, maintained at taxpayers' expense, with no shift work, no uniform, no safety equipment required, no worries about security checks, no tools to pack, employer cheque bouncing, seasonal downturns or dress requirements. The union is requesting more money for teachers to improve the quality of education. Really, does giving a person more funds make them a better employee? Or does putting more funds into the infrastructure, and operation do more good? Teachers on the lower pay scale only have to upgrade their degree to raise their pay grade but with the extra money they don’t take on more job responsibility or change their position they just get more money. Teaching is unique and is not for everyone but it does provide a much-needed service to our children and we appreciate their work. But teaching does have way more to offer than most professions and I don’t believe the union understands that and their fiduciary responsibility to taxpayers. Since the beginning of this century, the school population in this area has dropped from about 15,000
to 8,000 but the cost never seem to go down. Please, would the union and the government representatives take a hard look at that aspect before you start trying to outdo each other in the media as to who is the bad guy in all of this. Our children are watching. B. erickson

Mussel report raises eyebrows jennifer smith Black Press
The head of the Okanagan Basin Water Board is skeptical about the results of a potash treatment to eradicate zebra mussels from Lake Winnipeg. CBC reported this week that Manitoba was “declaring victory in its first battle with invading zebra mussels,” having sealed off four harbours in midMay and injected the water with potash to suffocate the shellfish. “I don’t know the geography of those harbours, but the larva are very, very tiny and they are dispersed through the water, so I’m skeptical as to how apply- Warwick Sears ing potash in one harbour will take care of the problem for the lake as a whole,” said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, whose background is in population biology. Quagga and zebra mussels are extremely invasive as one mussel can lay up to a million eggs annually. Their presence has, thus, destroyed many aquatic environments in the Eastern United States, Canada and, most notably, the Great Lakes. The OBWB has launched an extensive media campaign to put the issue in the public eye and draw the necessary political dollars to try and seal off B.C.’s borders with a multi-pronged approach: border inspections, publicity campaigns and decontamination sites. Residents are being asked to write to their MLA and MP to urge action “to communicate the importance of the issue” to the politicians, Warwick Sears said. “My understanding is that there is nothing that has been shown to eradicate the mussels once they are in the lake system,” she added. Alberta is also ramping up efforts to stem the tide of invasion as the mussels migrate across North America and up from the United States. Earlier this spring, the B.C. Liberals passed a motion to bring funding initiatives to the floor of the provincial legislature.

Funtastic brings back some faves The 30th annual slo-pitch tournament/music festival serves up some oldies, but goodies this weekend
Morning Star Staff
Classic rock fans will be travelling to days gone past at the 2014 A&W Funtastic Music Festival, which hits the Vernon Army Camp this weekend. Two internationally known heavy hitters, Scottish hard rock band Nazareth and Canada’s own Trooper, headline Friday and Sunday nights, respectively, while the “Monsters of Mock” take over the stage Saturday. A number of local and national acts will open each night of the festival. “This year’s lineup of bands will get everyone swaying to the music and singing along to familiar songs,” said Brett Kirkpatrick, Funtastic Sports Society president, during a reception when the bands were announced. This is Nazareth’s second time playing Funtastic. The band, which is coming over for a tour of Western Canada, was last in Vernon in 2010 and has been hard at work releasing its new album, Rock and Roll Telephone. Playing bass with the group since it originally formed, Pete Agnew is now the sole remaining member of the original lineup after vocalist Dan McCafferty retired from the band in 2013. With its new lineup and album, the band is sure to perform a number of those top-40 hits (Love Hurts, Razamanaz, Hair of the Dog) from its heyday in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Opening for Nazareth Friday starting at 7 p.m. will be Kelowna rock/garage/pop band Lefty, Germany-bythe-way-of Calgary reunited band Boulevard and the Okanagan’s own The Young’uns. Needing no introduction, Funtastic faves and Canada’s number one party band Trooper is back after last performing the festival in 2012. Led by charismatic singer Ra McGuire and fellow

songwriter/guitarist Brian Smith, the platinum selling, Juno award winning group has been making music since the mid-70s. Fans from far and wide will likely hum a few bars from such seminal hits as Raise a Little Hell, Pretty Lady and We’re Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time). With 10 studio albums and one greatest hits package under the band’s belt, Trooper continues on its heavy touring schedule and is hitting every province and city west of Quebec this summer. Taking the stage before Trooper Sunday at 7 p.m. are
Vernon R&B band The Legendary Lake Monsters, Vernon rockers The Goods and Alberta rock band The Chevelles. Next best to the real thing, Saturday’s “Monsters of Mock” includes tributes to Bon Jovi (Blaze of Glory), Aerosmith (Aerosmith Rocks) and The Who (Who Made Who). Vernon favourites Redfish will open at 7 p.m. Weekend passes for the Funtastic Music Festival are $50, while day passes are $25, available at Save on Foods in Vernon, or online at office@funtastic.org. No minors will be permitted on the festival grounds.
Landscape comes to life at art exhibition on the hill Morning Star Staff
Those who hike or bike at Silver Star Mountain in the summer know they are going to get a spectacular view of the Monashees along with an up-close look at the colourful wildflowers that grow on the summit. However, there’s another way to see the surrounding vistas at the hill, and that is through art. Every summer, Gallery Odin, which is located in Silver’s Star’s Knoll neighborhood, opens an exhibition of artworks by local, regional and internationally known artists. This year is no exception with an exhibition that features abstract, landscape, and figurative paintings along with textiles and sculptures. “This winter, we had people coming from all over the world,” said Maria Molnar, who runs the gallery with her husband Kalman. “This will be our 14th season. Many of our artists have had a busy year and have been showing their work in galleries around Canada and the U.S.” The salon-style exhibition, which will be split into two main spaces, will feature an abstract room, with large canvasses by such artists as Lake Country’s Julie Elliott, Penticton’s Karel Doruyter, and Vernon’s Barry Rafuse, said Molnar. In the other room will be works that

Also showing her large abstract landscapes is Silver Star-based artist Destanne Norris, who just wrapped up a joint exhibition of her work
at the Lake Country Art Gallery. “All these artists are doing a great justice in the legacy that the Group of Seven left behind,” said Molnar. Also working in landscape is Victoria’s Peter Lawson along with fellow Vancouver Islander Leonard Epp, who will show some smaller abstract landscapes. The exhibition will also feature three dimensional objects by stone sculptor Deborah Wilson, who is showing some of her new birds
made of Brazilian soapstone, as well as by Kootenay-based sculptor Todd White, potter Al Scott, ceramicists Leonhard Epp and Lisa Prowse, and scrimshaw artist Ginny Hall. Texturized paintings, fabric art and mixed media pieces are being shown by the Columbia Valley’s Lynne Grillmair, Campbell River’s Dawn Piche, Canmore’s Dana Roman and Vernon’s Wendy Hart Penner, who has painted some detailed landscapes as well as an animal portrait full of whimsy, said Molnar. In addition, Kelowna’s Julia Trops is showing her figurative works and one abstract while Kelowna’s Bonnie Anderson, Armstrong’s Charlene Woodbury, and Vernon’s Elizabeth Moore are also showing some of their abstracts, landscapes and florals.

Steve Alexander-Pope from the Kalamalka Rotary Club presents a cheque for $5,000 on behalf of the club’s international committee to Vernon secondary school Global Action students Siobhan Clancy, Lexus Pleasant and Rachael Botto. Funds raised from the Rotary Club’s Dream Auction will go towards construction materials for a school building in a fishing village in Ghana, Africa, where VSS Global Action teacher Susan Egan and her students will be volunteering this summer. “How incredibly generous,” she said. “The funds will make such a difference for the children of the village; education just opens up so many more choices for their future.”

This program in association with the Okanagan Science Centre was moved to the school last year from the Xerindipity Garden.This was our seventh year of food growing.

food from the vegetables grown in the garden. On each gardening day, local nutritionist Jan Hillis guides the children through food preparation and sampling of the food that they grow organically and harvest from the raised beds. To our surprise this year, when we got to the garden, somebody had been there before us to the disappointment of the students and everyone involved. The potatoes had been harvested, the beets with the healthy green tops were all gone. The little carrots, too small yet to pick, had been left on the top of the soil. One of the beds had not much left in it. It is too bad that things like this have to happen. With the end of the school, it was too late to replant most of the veggies. I added some pumpkins and other squash, tomatoes plants and herbs just to fill the space. In September, when the students are back in school, we

Thanks to the generosity of Vernon residents, a hospital in Haiti is closer to getting a new addition. “This city is full of amazing people who just keep giving and giving,” said Judy Douglas, retired registered nurse and volunteer health and education consultant with Water Project for Haiti. The recent Helping Haiti fundraiser at the Elks Hall was a huge success, she said, raising much-needed funds for OSAPO, which runs a remote clinic/hospital in the
mountains above Montrouis. Funds will be used to build an addition that will house an operating room workroom for decontamination of supplies and sterilizing them. “Thanks to the many local businesses who gave generously to the silent auction and many thanks to the 102 Vernonites, and a few Salmon Arm’ites and Kelowna’ites, who came out to support the event,” said Douglas. “Also the Elks organization was very generous and a great crew to work with. Thanks especially to Moe and her crew. “Besides the people who came, there

Students invited to ‘Decorate My Head’ Morning Star Staff
A Vernon student has picked up a secondplace award in the recent Decorate My Head contest sponsored by BrainTrust Canada. Grade 11 Kalamalka secondary student Elly Lee came up with a creative design for a bicycle helmet that earned her second place in the contest, which combines the importance of brain injury prevention with art. The contest offered Okanagan youth ages 13 to 17 a creative outlet for their talent. Supported by TELUS Thompson Okanagan Community Board, the online contest invited youth to submit a custom design for a bike helmet through BrainTrust Canada’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/braintrustcanada.com. “Youth are the highest risk for brain injury,” said Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada. “Our not-for-profit association has to be innovative with projects that cut through the clutter to reach this age group and spread out the message of brain injury prevention. “The Decorate My Head contest allows us to work with the art community in the Okanagan as a creative way to get our message across.”

Magda Kapp (left), director of communications for BrainTrust Canada, Kalamalka secondary school art teacher Brian Monteith and Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director of the Vernon Public Art Gallery, congratulate Grade 11 Kalamalka student Elly Lee (centre) for her secondplace win in the recent Decorate My Head contest for youth in the Okanagan. Lee’s winning art work was one of the top 20 shown at the gallery earlier this month. Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability under 44, with an estimated 22,000 new brain injuries annually. Up to 90 per cent of brain injuries are preventable through behavior changes such as wearing helmets.
First place went to Kendel Akume, while third place was taken by Alyx Wilk, both of Kelowna. The top three winners received a custom helmet with their own design shrink-wrapped on the helmet, art supplies from OPUS, and the Kelowna Art Gallery
and Teen Series art classes; first place winner also receives a private art session with watercolour artist Alex Fong. Other sponsors include Nutcase Helmets, the Rotary Centre for the Arts and Vernon Public Art Gallery, where the public showings of the top 20 pieces of artwork from both cities were shown earlier this month, and Signcraft, which is printing the custom shrink wrapping for helmets for the top three winners. BlueBird Business Consulting is responsible for all social media for the contest, and DB Design produced the logo design and poster for the program. Participants were encouraged to have friends and family vote for their designs to reduce the entries to the top 40, after which the top three were selected by a judging panel. BrainTrust Canada provides community rehabilitation to individuals with brain injury in the Okanagan; the association has a strong focus on brain injury prevention and education, especially for youth, who are at highest risk for traumatic brain injury. For more information, contact Kapp at mkapp@ braintrustcanada.com or 250-762-3233, local 115.
Summer’s favourite berry returns
D
oubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.” — Dr. William Butler, 17th century English writer. Butler is referring to the strawberry of course. Strawberries are members of the rose family and are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside — some 200 of them on an average berry. In ancient times the strawberry was a symbol for Venus, the Goddess of Love, because of its heart shape and red colour. In France, they are served to newlyweds at traditional wedding Cathi Litzenberger breakfasts in the form of a creamy sweet soup. The ancient Romans used them to treat everything from depression to bad breath.Today, strawberries are known to help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers, they’re low in calories and high in vitamins C, B6, K, fiber, folic acid, potassium and amino acids. To store fresh strawberries in the fridge for a few days, wait until before you eat them to clean them, as rinsing speeds up spoiling.

Library promotes funny business with reading club Morning Star Staff
There is no need for kids to be bored this summer, as there will be a lot of funny business going on at the Vernon library for kids aged five to 12. Registration in the Okanagan Regional Library Summer Reading Club includes a reading log, chances to win prizes, special events including magician Leif David, and great programs in the library to help your kids enjoy the world of reading. The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Club is “Funny Business,” and branch librarians have developed a summer full of opportunities for your kids to laugh out loud. “Whether or not families choose to attend events they will be able to fill out a reading log to earn stickers and a medal,” said Stephanie Vollick, youth services librarian at the Vernon library. “Summer Reading Club motivates kids to read — or be read to — regularly, so it helps to maintain or improve reading skills while school is out.
“It makes reading fun by inviting kids to read what they want. Registration is required, but it’s free thanks to the Friends of the Library.” Travelling around a bit this summer? Kids are welcome to drop in at any branch to take out books, get stickers on their reading logs and participate in the special events. All summer events take place from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., unless otherwise noted. Although all events are free, registration is required, with tickets available two Saturdays before each event. They can be picked up on a first come, first served basis at the downstairs information desk in the library. The fun begins July 2 with a launch party, where kids can pick up their reading records, see the Jugglers and enjoy a laugh. July 3 and 4, Gecko Cannot Sleep: story and a craft (for kids age eight to 12). July 8, The Pigeon Party: a black light show and a craft (for ages five to seven). July 9, Trixie the Clown: music, skits
and storytelling (for kids age five to seven). July 10 and 11, That’s Gross: story, science and trivia (for kids age eight to 12). July 15 and 16, Tales With a Twist: storytelling and a puppet show (for ages five to seven). July 18, more Tales With a Twist: storytelling and writing lesson (ages eight to 12). July 22, Uncle Chris The Clown: professional clown performs a comedy/magic show with balloon animals (for ages five to seven). As this is a special event, there will be a repeat performance at 12:15 p.m. July 23, Jeremy’s Stories: stories and a craft (for kids age five to seven). July 29 and 30, Mixed Beasts: flannel story, puppetry and a craft (ages five to seven). July 31 and Aug. 1, Pun & Games: fun with words — audience participation! (ages eight to 12).

Local eyes provincial crown Morning Star Staff
Carlita Nair hopes to put Vernon on the provincial map on June 30, as she is among 50 hopefuls from across the province competing for the Miss, Mrs. and Miss Teen B.C. crowns. Nair, Miss Milano, joined the Miss B.C. pageant in an effort to inspire others. “I was told as a child that the struggles I had been through would make me a beautiful person. I want to encourage, empower, and provoke beauty and self-love in all those who come in contact with me.” Vernon can vote for Nair in the People’s Choice award catCarlita Nair egory at www.missbc.ca prior to the talent and presentation night Saturday and then the final show and crowning Monday in Fort Langley. The pageant prides itself in its uniqueness in the pageant world. It is a development program for young women and, for the fourth year in a row, now has a category for married women, the Mrs. BC Pageant. “I see no reason why marriage should end someone’s pageant opportunities,” said creator and producer Darren Storsley. All previous rules that may discriminate against women in pageants have also been lifted. For example, there is not a maximum age limit to participate, nor are there height and weight requirements. Also,

among the contestants are ladies who are single parents. This year’s roster of contestants includes a young woman who is a former competitor in the Special Olympics as well as a contestant with autism. Leading up to the final pageant, all contestants receive professional training in areas such as public speaking, interview skills, media relations, modelling, manners, etiquette, leadership, self-esteem, health, fitness, nutrition, assertiveness and motivational speaking, and even self-defense. “These skills will help all the contestants, whether or not they are chosen as the new Miss, Miss Teen or Mrs. B.C.,” said Storsley. The charity of the Miss B.C. Pageant is the Cops for Cancer Tour of the Canadian Cancer Society. The pageant will be broadcast on Shaw Television later this fall.

Bylaw trumps weed invasion
SALE ON FROM JUNE 26-JULY 1
Quietly, pesky weeds have started sprouting up in fields, empty lots and yards in the Lake Country and North Westside areas. The Regional District of Central Okanagan’s noxious weed bylaw is in force. “By visiting www.regionaldistrict.com/weeds, people can see photos of some of our most serious offenders and get to the root of the problem, by cutting or pulling these plant threats,” said Kim Mussenden, bylaw officer. “A little information and knowledge can go a long way in helping people identify species that if left unchecked and growing in our yards and properties, can prevent native plants from growing.” Right now, some of the biggest weed threats include western goat’s beard, which looks like a tall dandelion with a much larger, round seed ball; and wild mustard, with its small, bright yellow flower that can reduce crop value and yields and curtail livestock forage production on pastures. Other varieties of weeds that are common problems in the region include knapweed, purple loosestrife and the prickly members of the thistle family, like Scotch thistle.

Safety is crucial
anadians have communicated their concerns for rail, pipeline and marine safety in light of the increase movement of oil and gas forecasted in the near future. The rail disaster in Lac Megantic led our government to implement actions to address more rigorous regulations and monitoring of rail safety. More inspectors have been hired and more than $100 million invested in our rail safety system. We have also increased fines for companies found breaking regulations and required each railway to have an executive legally responsible for safety. Canada has a safety record of 99.999 per cent for federally regulated pipelines. Our government has already taken action by increasing the number of pipeline inspections, doubling the number of audits and implementing fines for companies that break environmental regulations. The three pillars of Canada’s world-class pipeline safety system are prevention, preparedness, and liability. Canada is the first country in the world to bring forward a $1 billion absolute liability limit.

Pee Wee Jays stun Rutland Morning Star Staff
ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR
Kelowna’s Jeffery Cameron heads out onto Tronson Road during the final portion of the 20th anniversary Kal RATS triathlon Sunday at Kin Beach; Myra Mattila of the host club heads out from the Kin Beach transition area for the cycling stage.
Champness rules Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Nathan Champness was grateful for getting pushed in the 20th annual Kal RATS Sprint Triathlon Sunday at Kin Beach. Champness topped the field of 156 in 58 minutes and 35 seconds. Jake Van Allen of Kelowna was runner-up in 59:37 and Justin Birks of Kamloops third in 1:00:34. “I knew Justin Birks would be strong on the bike and that Jake Van Allen would come on hard on the run,” said Champness. “I mis-timed my swim-to-run transition and started the bike without the lead I wanted, and so had to dig deep Vernon’s Nathan Champness to re-establish it. I paid for it on the run but manrushes out of Okanagan Lake. aged to keep it together on that tough course.
“My thanks to Jake and Justin. I really enjoy competing hard on home turf and they gave me that opportunity. “It was also a blast watching Vernon women go 3-4-5 (Alesha Miller, Tara Ivanitz and Laura Medcalf) in the women’s race. With the Kids of Steel Tri (Saturday) being so successful, we local adult competitors need to give the young athletes a high standard to aspire to.” Scott Tremblay of Kaleden, in 1:01:19, and Andrew Sellars of Vernon, 35 seconds back, rounded out the top-five. Sam Lazar of Armstrong was eighth, in 1:04:20 and Vernon’s Warren Yablonski 17th, in 1:09:08.

The underdog Vernon Blue Jays outlasted toprated Rutland #1 25-21 in the Okanagan Valley Pee Wee Baseball Championships final Sunday in Salmon Arm. Coached by Mike Lewis and Claus Larsen, the Jays went into the 16-team tournament with more season draws and losses than wins. Undaunted, the Jays met before the game in their visitor’s dugout to run through their newly established, confidence-boosting, endorphin-releasing, pre-game routine: sharing Yo’ Momma jokes. Falcon Thomas jumpstarted things with a monster home run, but undefeated Rutland responded and held the lead until the final inning. Vernon got some incredible pitching by Elias Wery, Nolan Stein and Jackson Soucy. In their last at-bat, the Jays were down three runs with two outs. Stein ignited the rally with a single, followed by a walk to Brady Horton and a single by Jacob Rawlings. The Jays continued station-to-station, until Thomas (game MVP) stroked another dinger. Michael Preston took the mound to close the game with Soucy his wall behind the plate. Rutland managed two runs, but third baseman Katie Potts (only girl in game) caught a pop fly for the final out. In another upset, the Jays defeated Rutland #2 12-9 in their first playoff pool game. Horton hit his first double of the season, while Stein and Preston (game MVP) each earned a triple and a double. Thomas smacked a crushing homer, while Soucy and Hayden Lewis each went 4-for-4. Aydin Croswell tripled in the winning run. Vernon then grounded Keremeos 19-6 with Soucy taking MVP with four hits in four plate appearances. Soucy and Rawlings were stellar behind the plate, saving numerous runs. Lewis and Wery both went 4-for-4, while Stein, Aydin Croswell and Rawlings each supplied a double and two singles. Carter Scott caught a clutch fly ball in left field. Stein (pitching) and Soucy (catching) stopped a Keromeos player attempting to steal home for the final out, earning the Jays a ticket to the semifinals, where they edged West Kelowna 14-12. Vernon and West Kelowna swapped runs until the final inning with Thomas and Wery marvellous on the mound, striking out West Kelowna’s key hitters. Jon Morley pushed a double into a triple with quick feet and blind determination and Wery (game MVP) knocked in the final run.

Sports Midget C’s lose in semi
Kal RATS race has 146 finish
Safe By a Step
Continued from A24
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Kal Tire Canadians split a pair of drama-jammed Okanagan Valley Midget AA playoff baseball games. The C’s opened the playoffs by surprising the host and undefeated Rutland Rockies 6-5. Mitchell Lukacs and Tyler Lacktin Doyle were strong on the mound for the C’s. It was tied 5-5 after seven innings with catcher Jacob Holland driving in the winning run on a fielder’s choice. Holland and shortstop Shelby Hartwig each collected three RBI against the 20-01 Rockies. Brandon Harder was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs. Head coach Darren Zupp called it a great character win since the C’s were short three players due to Fulton graduation ceremonies. The C’s won by forfeit Saturday morning over Rutland #2, who were busy with grad festivities. In Saturday afternoon semifinal action, Kal Tire lost 7-6 to the Kelowna Black Sox. Vernon got behind 3-0 in the first inning but bounced back to take a 4-3 lead after three. It was tied 6-6 going into the seventh when Kelowna took a one-run lead and held the C’s in the final inning. Dylan Emmons was solid on the hill for the C’s with eight strikeouts in five inning. Holland and Hartwig each had two RBI. “We played our hearts out and deserved a better outcome but that’s baseball,” said Zupp. Said Vernon asstistant coach Dennis Holland: “The boys battled and showed a lot of heart throughout the season. In two thrilling playoff games, the coaching staff was extremely proud how they handled the pressure and played as a team.”

Tigers rattle Raiders Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Source for Sports Tigers flattened the Kelowna Raiders 17-3 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. The Raiders (2-13) were shortstaffed due to players attending graduation, so the North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse A2 midget Legends loaned them five players. League rule states that there needs to be a 48-hour window given for a team to forfeit. Any forfeit after the 48-hour time frame results in a fine. Legends’ players Chase Wirth and Steele Pelletier each sniped a goal, while Jordy Barr and Stephane Richard played big minutes for the red and black. “It was really nice of these kids to come play on such short notice. I’m sure it was a great experience for them all,” said Tigers’ GM Roxane Seaton. Tigers’ sniper Ryan Sarazin was being harassed by Quinn Johnson-Plant and was forced into a fight in the first period. Sarazin served a fighting major and a 10-minute misconduct penalty, but will not receive suspension. The Tigers (11-2) received scoring from 14 players with Quintin Harrish erupting for five goals, Darrell Landels pulled a hat trick and two assists, while Bayne Bosquet, Jordan Orr and Liam MacPhee each sniped a pair. Thomas Landels, Connor Buick and Austin Lewarne added singles. Vernon native and Tigers’ rookie Dylan Hiemstra started his second game of the year and made 14 saves. He was relieved by Thomas Bella to start the third.
The Tigers have won seven straight and battled the South Okanagan Flames (3-9) Tuesday night in Penticton. The Kamloops Venom dumped the Armstrong Shamrocks 17-6 Sunday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops. With three games remaining, the Shamrocks (4-9) sit two points ahead of the fifth-place Flames for the final playoff spot. Joel Castle pulled the hatty in the third period, while Colby Erickson, Cam Nelson and Brady Berg recorded singles. Nelson leads the Rocks with eight goals and 25 points. Brady Jorgensen continued his breakneck pace for the Venom (14-1) with five goals and two assists. Jerome Thorne buried four goals and Kyle Pauwels registered a hat trick. The Venom are six points ahead of the Tigers for top spot. The two teams will face off in the final game of the season Saturday, July 5, at Kal Tire Place. The Rocks will clash with the Flames Sunday in Penticton. The Flames torched Kelowna 16-7 Monday night.
Hinton ices Vandenbrink Morning Star Staff
Chris Hinton of The Harvest in Kelowna defeated Keith Vandenbrink 2 and 1 in Callaway Interior Pro Golf Tour quarterfinal match play Monday at Black Mountain Golf Course. Hinton, who won the Kelowna Rotary Pro-Am in May, moves to the semifinals. “I had a hard time on the greens;
I basically two-putted everything,” said Vandenbrink. “I had six chances inside 10 feet and went 0-for-6.” Vandenbrink was was three down after nine holes and four down after 10 before winning on 11 and 12. He three-putted 13 to stay two down, missed a six-footer on 14 and won 15 and 16. Hinton drained an 18-footer on 17 to close out Vandenbrink.
Todd Benson of Vernon placed 18th, and second in men’s 40-44, in 1:09:11. Janis Neufeld of Nakusp topped the women’s division in 1:07:48, almost a minute faster than Carmelle Guidi-Swan of Kelowna. Miller was 21st, in 1:11:01, followed by Ivanitz, in 1:11:32 and Medcalf, in 1:12:09. Alanna Simms of Vernon was the sixth fastest female, in 1:13:19. Jennifer Jakobi of Vernon was 38th overall, in 1:15:38. “We had 146 individual finishers and eight relay teams,” said RATS director Craig Johnson. “The race continues to feature many beginner/ first-time triathletes, but also attracts some of the fastest triathletes in the valley like our own Nathan Champness. “It was the 20th annual event put on by the Kal RATS (running and triathlon sports) and supported by the work of dedicated and hard-working volunteers. We are grateful for the community support of many local businesses and individuals.” Vernon’s Chris Spooner was 34th overall and fifth in the men’s 45-49 group, in 1:124:26, while Jade Kersey of Vernon was 35th, in 1:14:42. Added Champness: “Challenge Penticton is the big event of the season; up to then I’ll do whatever I can fit in around work (GNC LiveWell and the Starting Block). I hope that winds up being a lot as I love racing, and it’s always a chance to give my sponsors some exposure.” The 30-year-old carries sponsorship from The Starting Block (Saucony), Breakaway Health and Fitness, Sun Country Cycle (Felt Bicycles), Re-Cycled Accessories, and Save-On Foods.

McNeal, Lenoury collect Spall crowns Morning Star Staff
Nursing a sore elbow, Jarrett McNeal’s golf game was sub-standard for about a week. His handicap rose from a zero to two. A few days rest worked weekend wonders as the 24-year-old rang up a pair of 67s to win the Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club men’s championship for the second time in three years. McNeal, a pro shop attendant at Spall, earned a range pass for next season and a Scotty Cameron putter he plans to trade in for balls and a cap. He finished a dozen strokes in front of Paul Holtom. “I just kept it in play and really didn’t make any putts I shouldn’t have,” said McNeal. “The course was playing shorter with 80 guys so I just overpowered the golf course and I guess it worked.” McNeal, a huge Edmonton Oiler fan who works at Wendy’s in the offseason, carded 5-under on the par-5s Saturday. He had three birdies and eagled No. 8 with a gorgeous 240yard approach shot with a three-iron, followed by a six-foot putt. Last year’s champion, Brady Stead, was not in the field of 81. Dave Gray and James Ryan, both at 150, and Brooks Jones, at 152, completed the top-five. Dave Gerhardt was the overall low net champion with 133, followed by Art Heale, at 135. Scotty Pisiak took the second flight low gross title at 155, followed by Glen Fester, at 160, Dave Haverty, at 161, and Doug Pepper,
at 163. Third flight low gross went to Wayne Brown with a 167 by retrogression over Dylan Gardner. Doug Jackson was third at 169 and Jim Pepper fourth at 172. Gerry Obrecht ruled the fourth flight low gross at 172, six shots in front of Louie Siewertsen. Pete Taylor was third with 181, followed by Lawrie Jenner at 183. Low net first flight prizes were pocketed by Brian Osachoff, at 137. Bill Copeland was runner-up at 140, while Pat Morgan and Randy Strang both produced 141s. Art Heale fashioned 135 to claim low net in the second flight, followed by Bryan Cook, at 138, and Murray Oakden and Darold Zukowsky, with 140s. Tom Gordon topped low net in the third flight at 138, while Jeff Parker and Mike Todd had 140s and Trevor Buksa a 141. Bob Spearman took the fourth flight at 140, one stroke ahead of John Venus. Glen Guest and Gus McNeil each had 147. Katrina Lenoury defended the ladies’ club championship with a 155 total, nine strokes in front of Emery Bardock. There was a field of 39. Gwen Siewertsen collected the overall low net prize at 138, one stroke better than Shelly Cooper and Marj Griffin.

Pinnacles top tiremen Morning Star Staff
The Penticton Pinnacles bounced Vernon Kal Tire 4-1 in a Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League showdown Monday night at Beasley Park. The tiremen are awaiting a ruling from the league since Penticton (8-1) did not bring their player cards which is supposed to be an automatic forfeit. Penticton struck for two goals in the opening half with the first off a 15-yard shot and the other a poked shot that deflected off the heel of Kal Tire defender Jason Beck. In the second half, Penticton got their third when forward Sam Wingham got a lucky bounce past the defence and then did what Kal Tire described as a World Cup dive on sliding keeper Chris Bader in the penalty area. The PK was converted. Kal Tire came back with a great build from the back line that saw several passes leading to Jesse Knight breaking through for his 15th goal of the season. Penticton snuck a late one in as subless Kal Tire (7-3) got caught pressuring. Vernon’s Turn-Key Controls bowed 5-1 to Nation of Domination Eagle Homes in a North Okanagan Soccer League make-up tilt Sunday night. NOD (6-2) scored at 20 minutes on a nice ball over the top of the defence and a lucky bounce off a Reid Foreter slide tackle right to a player waiting on the corner of the six-yard box. Turn-Key (6-2-1) equalized 10 minutes when Gregg Douma’s goal kick led to a Conan Ackert flick onto Andrew Pool, who ran onto the ball and connected. NOD went in front on a free kick that bounced just inside the 18 and was tapped by Douma just before half. Turn-Key came out pressing in the final half without any luck and NOD capitalized on three rebound chances. Meanwhile, Akbal Mund scored his first goal in eight years as the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels iced the Rutland Spirit 10-0 in Capri Insurance 45+ League play at Marshall Field #1. Mund nailed a Cameroon-like header from the top of the 18 to bust his snipe slump. Al Murphy (2), Don Balcombe, Gord Howard, Rob Parkin,
Mike Daly, Zane Klym and Rick Raber also tallied for the 5-4-1 humpbacks, who gained one own goal. Ron Krause and Dave Dutcher shared the shutout. Rutland fell to 0-10. The ever-improving Bosman Accounting earned a 2-2 draw with host Lake Country under the late lights at Beasley Park. Central defender Glenn Verdurmen, on a free kick in the opening minutes, and roadrunner winger Gerry Geelkerken, on a sweet steal and shot, later in the first half, supplied the goals for Bosman (3-6-1). Sammi Kimpian and Neil McNeil scored for the Lakers (4-2-3), who couldn’t penetrate the Bosman five-man back line in the second half, a plan orchestrated by injured striker Henk Bosman. Bosman had one late run inside Laker territory in the final 45 with ex-Laker Laurent Dansereau streaking 30 yards down the left flank, cutting to the net and feeding Ian Murphy for a header which struck the crossbar. James Cotter put the rebound wide and the final whistle sounded. Dan Rogers, Kilmer Hagen, Alex DeBoersap, Greg Thalheimer, Alex Yakovlev and Verdurmen all earned their showers on the Bosman back line. North Country Appraisals Kickers stretched their winning streak to five games with an intense 3-2 decision over Big O Tire-Turn-Key Ogopogos at the cow field known as Marshall #2. The third-place Kickers (8-2) held a 2-0 halftime lead on goals by Wil Kruiper and Steve Reston. Duane Dennis just missed on a couple of hard blasts and the Ogopogos enjoyed other chances but were denied by Kicker keeper David Gadd. Big O (3-7) got to within one early in the second half when defender Ruben Cerventes moved up and converted from in tight after a corner. The goal came with the Kickers down a man. Floyd Ryan restored the two-goal lead after a fine pass from Kruiper. Big O responded when Volker Otto connected on a gorgeous header off a corner. Second-place Brown Benefits worked extra hard in the extreme heat for a 3-1 win against the determined Vernon Liquor Store Stallions at Parkinson Field #9. Nigel Clack scored a PK for the Stallions.

United U12s gain mixed results in Kamloops Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United Under 12 Boys #1 had another successful Rep soccer outing Sunday in Kamloops, opening with a tough 1-0 loss to Kelowna White. Man of the Match keeper Kevin Morgan went all-world on numerous occasions to keep United in the game, allowing players to gradually develop more and more possession and eventually scoring chances. Max Chirkoff and Aiden Skinner were stellar all game on defence, Jack Cotter and Isaiah Ondrik supplied the bulk of the offensive opportunities, and Saajan Klair had his share of near misses. Hayden Catt and James Meeks offered excellent support and played outstanding
WATCH FOR
matches. In game 2, Vernon outclassed tired Penticton Pinnacles 5-0 in a hot matinee tilt at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Man of the Match Ondrik opened the scoring with a nice feed from Klair, and followed with a deflected-shot goal early in the first half. Strong work by Chirkoff and Klair forced a penalty shot, which Morgan calmly slotted home on his friend-and-rival-keeper Jordan Thorsen. United resumed the onslaught in the second half with William Oordt-Bosman rewarded with some excellent centre midfield-play by scoring on another beauty feed from Klair. Ondrik, making up for hitting a post
minutes earlier on a wide-open net, buried yet another chance in the final five minutes for his swan-song hat trick. Chirkoff was again outstanding, this time playing three different positions and causing fits for Penticton defenders. Nate Paskiewich offered solid minutes in numerous positions. “A great way to end a great season,” said head coach Paul Morgan. “All the coaches are proud of the boys, they have come a long way and truly developed and thrived in their soccer this year.” United U12 #2 wrapped the season with a 2-2 tie versus Penticton and a hard-fought 3-1 loss to Kelowna Red. Liam Glennon waltzed through the Penticton back line and placed a lovely ball
to put Vernon up 1-0. Penticton responded minutes later to even things before the half. Vernon was called for a hand ball early in the second half, resulting in a penaltly kick which was stopped by Logan Quibel. Penticton pounced on the rebound. Vernon fought hard and valiant efforts were put in by Gavin Medema, Ben Morgan, Dawson Martian and Kobe Grant. With only minutes left, Man of the Match Glennon once again caught Penticton sleeping and delivered another great ball to equalize. In the second game, Vernon came out fast and strong to hold Kelowna Red. A magical curved corner by Liam Reid fooled the Kelowna keeper and levelled the score 1-1.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder IF HE ERRS, TAKE ADVANTAGE Jef Mallett, the “Frazz” cartoonist, said, “Writing well means never having to say, ‘I guess you had to be there.’” When the defenders play perfectly, declarer is sometimes unable to make his contract. On other deals, though, a defender will fail to find the killing play. Then declarer needs to take full benefit. In this deal, West cashes three club tricks against four hearts. He then shifts to a diamond. How should South continue? A four-heart opening bid usually indicates an eightcard suit. However, South decided to tell a small white lie because he was nonvulnerable and the opponents were vulnerable.
West wondered if his side could do well, but he had too few points to act at the fourlevel. North and East had easy passes. When West had to guess which suit to lead at trick four, he decided that South would be more likely to preempt when very short in the other major. Hence his diamond lead. (As you can see, a spade switch would have been lethal.) Now let’s look at South’s predicament. He needs to take three pointed-suit tricks to go with his seven trump winners. Should he finesse in spades or in diamonds? Either is a pure guess. But he can slightly improve his chances. He should win with dummy’s diamond ace, ruff a diamond in his hand, cash
the heart ace, play a heart to dummy’s nine and ruff another diamond. Here, the king comes tumbling down. So South can draw trumps and claim. But if the diamond king does not appear, declarer can run his trumps, planning to fall back on the spade finesse.
