Brewery launches major investment RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A brand synonymous with Vernon is expanding its presence. Officials with Sleeman Breweries announced Tuesday that there will be a $4.4 million investment in the Okanagan Spring facility downtown. “It’s good to see we’ve grown again,” said brewmaster Stefan Tobler, whose family founded Okanagan Spring 30 years ago. It’s expected construction will begin in November, and be completed by next April. The project will include new tanks, increased brewhouse capacity and refrigeration upgrades — bolstering annual capacity by about 20 per cent. Additional jobs are anticipated in brewing, packaging, maintenance and warehousing. “We are already starting to interview for some of those positions,” said Dave Klaassen, Sleeman Breweries vice-president of operations. There are currently about 140 employees. The expansion will occur within the existing footprint of the facility, and Tobler admits that physical conditions are tight on

room and as we always say, ‘There’s up,” he said.

Driving the expansion is consumer demand for Okanagan

Spring products as well as beers that fall under the Sleeman banner. “It’s high-quality beer and a flavour everyone likes,” said Tobler. While the exact number of new employees is yet to be determined, City of Vernon officials believe the expansion is significant because it solidifies Okanagan Spring’s role as an economic anchor. “To see this investment in the community is excellent news. It speaks to the long-term commitment of Sleeman,” said Kevin Poole, the city’s economic development manager. “These are great jobs to have here. Manufacturing has taken a big hit in the North Okanagan since 2008 and to see one growing, is a big sign of confidence in the area.” Poole believes the Okanagan Spring expansion will encourage other businesses to move to Vernon. “It shows investors that this is a a place to look at,” he said. Taking part in Tuesday’s announcement was Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA. “The brewery is already a local icon here in Vernon and the expansion will be a great boost to the community,” said Foster.

Brakes put on Vernon Racing Days this summer RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

A Vernon tradition won’t be getting out of the gates. There won’t be any horse races at Kin Race Track this summer. “It’s disappointing for us because we are the stewards of horse racing in Vernon,” said Ed Woolley, Okanagan Equestrian Society spokesperson. Four races had been planned for July and August. The decision to scrap races is a result of the society being notified of electrical issues in the grandstand earlier this year. “A large number of things they want done are not safety issues,” said Woolley of the City of Vernon, which owns the track. “The amount of money to fix those things will wipe out our reserves and the reserves

are needed to fight litigation with the city.” In 2010, the society was evicted from the property, which is owned by the city and the Regional District of North Okanagan (all titles are currently being transferred to the city). The society claims equestrian activities were guaranteed when most of the track was turned over to the city in 1964 for free. It also alleges the regional district ignored an agreement for lease renewals. Woolley says the society needs to focus on long-term access to the property. “We will take this year off and push forward with litigation if that’s necessary or negotiate with the city on repairs to the grandstand,” he said. “This situation is largely of the city’s making.” RDNO has not continued with an annual

STACKIN ‘EM

$10,000 maintenance grant to the society while litigation was underway. The society says the city should be providing the funds now that it is the sole owner of the site. Woolley doesn’t believe the society is contravening any agreements with the city if races don’t occur. “Taking one year off to address these issues is not a clear indication that horse racing is over. It will continue,” he said. City of Vernon officials insist they have not ordered the electrical upgrades in the grandstand. “The electrical issues are from the B.C. Safety Authority. It has locked out electrical services,” said Will Pearce, the city’s chief administrative officer. Pearce added that the provincial safety authority will not allow power to resume

until it is satisfied with the upgrades. “The grandstand is the responsibility of the society and the city has expended dollars to repair the roof even though it didn’t have to do that.” The city is responsible for grading the track surface itself. In terms of an annual maintenance grant, Pearce also says that’s not under the city’s jurisdiction. “The city is prepared to meet its obligations as per the contract with the city (and the society) and how the society deals with the expired agreement with RDNO is up to the society,” he said. Pearce says the city will not be heavyhanded with the society because there are no races this summer. “If the society chooses not to run races, that’s up to it,” he said.

Community rallies support for family ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

In the end, Miles Wohlford gave life to at least a half-dozen strangers. The 14-year-old Vernon teenager died Friday night in Kelowna General Hospital after his family made the gut-wrenching decision to remove him from life support that was sustaining him following a boating accident on Okanagan Lake June 28. Wohlford’s family released a statement through social media, stating their son died shortly before 9 p.m. and that “he honourably gave life to a minimum of six people through organ donation.” Miles Wohlford “My heart is filled with hope for six or more people that will live a fulfilled life,” said Wohlford’s mom, Randi Lund. “My heart is filled with pride to have been able to call Miles Wohlford my son.” The family said earlier Friday that “due to a very grave prognosis,” it had made “a very difficult decision” to remove Wohlford from life support. A memorial service for Wohlford will take place Monday, July 14, at 3 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. Those planning on attending are encouraged to wear a sports jersey in honour of Wohlford’s love of sports. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that a donation in Wohlford’s memory be made to Greater Vernon KidSport. Wohlford suffered very serious head, arm and leg injuries June 28 after he fell off a tube on Okanagan Lake and was hit by the propeller of the boat towing him. He was airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital. An outpouring of support and condolences has been sent to the family via the Facebook page “Support Miracles for Miles.” And that support was evident in person Saturday, as North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse

organized a three-hour hot dog, raffle and silent auction at The Sports Store on 27th Street. The event raised more than $6,300 in three hours. “That was fantastic,” said organizer Jen Bellman. “It speaks volumes about the type of kid Miles was, and it speaks volumes of his family. Miles would have been the first kid there to hold up the signs trying to get people into the event, and his mom would have been the first to organize such an event. “It also says a lot about the community and how close to home this accident hit. It has affected a lot of people.” Casey Sherriff had the opportunity to coach Wohlford twice in lacrosse, including the recently ended season with the North Okanagan Bantam A Legends. “He’s a great person and was looked up to by his teammates,” said Sherriff. “It was easy to get him on the floor, harder to get him off. That’s a trait a coach would welcome in any of his players.” Community events and fundraisers are still being held to support Wohlford’s family with costs and other expenditures associated with the tragedy. Anything over and above the expenses will be put towards Miles’ legacy in the form of scholarships for minor hockey, lacrosse and high school rugby. As of noon Tuesday, more than $17,000 had been donated online at www.fundrazr. com (Click Miracles for Miles under the search engine). A one-day bottle drive will be held on an upcoming weekend (date and times still to be finalized)with hockey, lacrosse and Fulton students going to area homes to collect bottles and cans. A drop-off location for cans and bottles will also be set up that day at Craftsman Collision (3500-27th Street). Accounts at both Chasers Bottle Depot and Interior Freight and Bottle Depot have been established under the name Miracles for Miles. Anybody wishing to donate the funds from their sorted returns can do so.

An account has been set up at the VantageOne Credit Union, and you can donate at any of the Vernon locations. The account name is also Miracles for Miles. A day of family events has been organized for Friday, July 18. A Family Carnival and Music event will run from 2 to 8 p.m. at Cenotaph Park. At the Elks Hall, there will be a bake sale from 2 to 5 p.m., and a silent auction from 2 to 10:30 p.m. (silent auction items can be donated and dropped off at the Okanagan Science Centre). There will be an adults-only dance at the hall from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. featuring Vernon band Mace. Limited tickets for the dance are $15 each, available at The Bean Scene. “These events will provide the opportunity for the community to come together as a group to help each other with the grieving and healing process,” said family friend Cindy Meissner who, along with Rhonda Becker, have been coordinating the fundraising efforts. Lund said her life has been forever changed, but the outpouring of support from friends, family and the community has touched her

and her family deeply. “I am in absolute awe of my friends, family, and strangers that don’t even know us that have rallied together to get us through hell,” said Lund. “Like many have said to me words just can’t express. Please know that I am embracing each and everyone of you and your kindness and love is giving me strength to carry on. “Not only do I live in the most beautiful place on earth, I’m surrounded by the most beautiful people on earth.”

Authorities are still trying to determine what led to an accident that claimed the life of a Vernon teen. Miles Wohlford, 14, died July 4 as a result of injuries he sustained during a boating accident on Okanagan Lake June 28. “We are trying to determine if there will be any charges laid and to provide answers to the family,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson. Wohlford suffered serious head, arm and leg injuries after he fell off a tube and was hit by the propeller of the boat towing him. The boat was being operated by a 49-year-old local woman. Follow-up statements are being taken from those on scene during the accident and a mechanical review of the boat is being conducted.

“This is a tragic event...” — Gord Molendyk

Molendyk isn’t sure if the operator of the boat has been interviewed by police. Depending on the outcome of the investigation, Crown could be asked to consider charges of unsafe boating. “It could take a little while,” said Molendyk of the investigation. “This is a tragic event so we need to make sure we conduct a thorough investigation,” he said.

The use of power and not the production of marijuana led police to a Spallumcheen property. On July 2, the RCMP and B.C. Hydro visited a property in the 1600 block of Simons Road to investigate an alleged theft of electricity. “It was a legal marijuana grow. However, it appears electricity was being stolen to power the growing equipment,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. It was determined that the operation was allowed under the federal government’s medical marijuana

rules. “No plants were seized,” said Molendyk. The investigation into alleged electrical theft began in March and that resulted in a search warrant being issued. According to Molendyk, police continue to investigate the case. Taken into custody by police were the 39-yearold woman who owns the property and her 39-yearold spouse. They were later released but are expected to appear in court Sept. 25 on charges of electricity theft.

Impaired drivers keep RCMP busy richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Some North Okanagan residents are ignoring the message about not driving drunk. Last week, RCMP officers pulled over 11 motorists for driving while under the influence of alcohol. “There are more impaireds during the summer than during Christmas and New Year’s,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

Molendyk believes there may be a few factors for the increase in activity. “They’re out partying or at barbecues and people need to be aware that the rules apply — think before you drink,” he said. “More people are letting their guard down and not paying attention.” However, Molendyk says public safety continues to be a priority for the detachment and officers will remain vigilant in identifying impaired drivers.

Teachers resume pickets richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Picket lines are going back up at schools. Members of the Vernon Teachers Association will strike in front of W.L. Seaton Secondary today from 7 to 9:30 a.m. and such rallies will occur at various locations every Wednesday during the summer. “We want to maintain our visibility and remind people that a fair settlement hasn’t Malcolm been reached yet,” said Heather Malcolm, VTA president. Malcolm hopes parents and students will attend the picket sessions, but she isn’t sure how many teachers will show up over the summer holidays. “It will be interesting to see how many come out

to join us.” A court justice recently decided not to lead mediation between the teachers and the government because he said both sides were too far apart in their demands. However, Malcolm says discussions are necessary so classes can resume in September. “The government is coming with predetermined conditions and that’s not negotiating. If they come to the table, I believe we can negotiate,” she said. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, defends the position his government has taken with the teachers. “We are at the table and I keep hoping everyone comes to a resolution,” he said. However, Foster insists that teachers must lower their demands for wages and changes to class size. “It has to fall within our (budget) mandate and what we’ve given other public sector workers,” he said.

North Okanagan real estate sales climb Morning Star Staff

Real estate sales in the North Okanagan are on the rise. There were 236 overall sales in June, up 28.3 per cent from 184 units during the same month in 2013. Total residential sales for the month were up 24.1 per cent, with 216 units sold compared to 174. There were 122 singlefamily home sales, up 27.1 per

cent from 96 in June 2013. “After six months of steady growth in sales, the OkanaganShuswap housing market is experiencing a rebound in consumer demand and has moved firmly into balanced conditions,” said Darcy Griffiths, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president. While the 401 new listings

taken for June were up 19.4 per cent from the 2013 level of 336, inventory for June saw a 7.8 per cent dip to 2,233 from 2,422 last year. “We are seeing more listings than in 2013, but not enough to keep up with the demand in some segments as sales have increased more than inventory,” said Griffiths.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.

tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past five years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

Times change

here will be some residents disappointed to learn there won’t be Vernon Racing Days this summer. They look forward to the camaraderie, placing bets and the thrill of the action. They remember the glory days when huge crowds converged on Kin Race Track for the biggest game in town. However, the reality is that the crowds have shrunk significantly over the years even as the region’s population has exploded. Many people spend their weekends working now, a departure from when Sunday was considered a day of rest. Families are running off in each direction as kids tackle a range of activities, and perhaps the most critical factor are the expanded gambling opportunities now — from casinos and scratch-and-win to online betting. The broad interests of the public have shifted. Richard Rolke And that was extremely evident during a recent open house on possibly replacing Civic Arena as an ice sheet. The plan calls for twinning Kal Tire Place to the north, but some at the meeting questioned why the race track wasn’t being used. “The idea that they are holding up improvement of our facilities is unfortunate,” said resident Dave DeShane referring to the Okanagan Equestrian Society, which runs Vernon Racing Days and is fighting its 2010 eviction from the track. “We could have four ice sheets and ball diamonds there, and have facilities like other communities do.” In fact, the Regional District of North Okanagan has developed a long-term concept for the 43rd Avenue site, including possibly sports fields, two arenas, a BMX track, a gymnastics facility and trails. Now that the city is taking over complete ownership of the property,

the potential uses may evolve a bit but the ultimate goal is recreational activities beyond horse racing. Even if twinning of Kal Tire Place proceeds, the adjacent race track property could play a critical role as replacement parking for Kal Tire Place visitors will be needed. It could also possibly become the new home of the Vernon Farmers Market, which could be displaced by a new ice sheet. Deciding to pull the plug on racing days this year was obviously difficult for the Okanagan Equestrian Society board. “It’s disappointing for us because we are the stewards of horse racing in Vernon,” said Ed Woolley, society spokesperson. Obviously they are a passionate group and deserve significant praise for their dedication. However, keep in mind that there have only been three or four races a summer in recent years and other than people training privately owned horses, no other activities occur at the track. And no matter who you believe is responsible for the situation — the society or the City of Vernon — the reality is the infrastructure at the track has seen better days. The cost of repairs compared to overall usage would make most people question the return on the investment. As someone whose family’s Okanagan roots go back more than a century, I have deep admiration for our traditions and those people who keep them alive. We, in the Okanagan, have a rich culture and heritage and it should be celebrated. But we all know that traditions come and go based on demographics and the evolving interests of the community. There are events that were around for years that no longer exist for various reasons. Treasured landmarks are gone. In some cases, the demise of festivities or buildings were premature, while others ran their natural course. Ultimately, the debate over the future of Kin Race Track will have to end and a final decision made.

While the B.C. Liberals aren’t about to win any awards for superior governance the last 14 months, the NDP opposition doesn’t make much of a case for trophies either. On a daily basis, the NDP shows a cynical view of the electorate, underestimating the smarts of B.C. residents while it continues to play the same game that’s been played in this province for decades. If the Liberals say white, the NDP will say black. Wow, there’s some real strategy. Latest case in point: the NDP’s attack on the Liberals after it was announced last week B.C. Ferries has awarded the $165 million design-build contract to a Polish company. The NDP news release talked about how the Liberals have “given up on creating jobs” here and “are doing nothing” to help the B.C. shipbuilding industry. Nowhere in the NDP news release does it mention the fact that the only Canadian firm shortlisted for the ferries contract that eventually went to the Polish company — North Vancouver’s Seaspan Marine — pulled out of the bidding, saying it was too busy with upcoming contracts. An oversight by the people writing NDP news releases? Are these the same people who worked on their party’s polling before the last provincial election? We can’t believe they didn’t know the Seaspan Marine angle, so we have to assume they left that information out of the release on purpose. This is the same nonsense that has turned voters off party politics. It’s not like the NDP has cornered the market on this cynical game of disrespecting voters. The Liberals — the kings and queens of sloganism — aren’t much better. And judging from what we hear from the B.C. Conservative Party, that’s no source of fresh air either. The residents of B.C. deserve better from the government and its opposition. Tell the truth. Park the spin. Quit playing the same game you have been for a century. Ah, we can hear the hacks in Victoria telling us how naive we are. Thanks, you’re making our point for us. — Parksville-Qualicum News

Safety issue should be paramount

submit that the central justifying reason for creating a decrease in traffic flow on 25th Street is that of safety. I recently bought a house on 25th Street, and my wife and I did so with great anticipation. We have three little girls, and they are just beginning to go to school. Because they will be attending Beairsto school, we believed our home purchase to be strategically wise. In a few years, we would be able to send them off to school by themselves as the walk was only three to four minutes total. And in the mean time, we were excited to have a home near town, so my wife could walk with our kids into town. The prospect of teaching our youngest to ride a bike on the street here was also something we relished. Since we have moved into our house, it appears that many of the reasons why we made our purchase have been nullified by the traffic patterns on our street. There have been numerous events in the past month that have fueled our family's safety concerns. For example, the use of our street by

learning conditions Ever since 1995, when the B.C. Teachers Federation was appointed as the provincial bargaining agent for teachers and the BC Public School Employers’ Association was set up to bargain for school boards, the issue that has kept both sides apart is the teachers’ demand that learning conditions (class size, composition and specialist teacher ratios) be set out in contract. So it continues today. In the media’s reporting, focus usually falls on wages, but money for salaries has only rarely been a major sticking point. The two sides have nearly always been able to come to a compromise on money, even if neither side is happy with the end result. With learning conditions though, neither side has ever been able to bring the other around to its view. Teachers want class size, composition, and specialist teacher ratios guaranteed in contract, while boards want the unfettered right to manage all aspects of their schools. The two sides have never reached an agreement on this issue. Even when teachers managed to get class size, composition, and minimum ratios for specialists into contract in 1998, it was the result of a deal negotiated directly between the NDP government and the BCTF. But it had to be imposed on school boards because they refused to ratify it. In 2002, when the Liberals stripped this language

school buses and tradespeople with their trucks and trailers has created a significant amount of volume. I have watched as many large vehicles have come southbound on 25th Street. They have not been using the street to access homes in our neighbourhood. Rather, they have been bypassing 27th Street to access Pleasant Valley Road or another major street. Regularly, I have had to shout and run to stop my children from being too near to from contracts, the fight was renewed, and for more than a decade, court action between the BCTF and the government has ensued. The government is now appealing the court’s most recent finding that they acted unconstitutionally when they wiped out these guarantees. So, who is right? Should learning conditions be set in contract or not? From my vantage point as a teacher, I have seen first-hand what happens when these conditions are not in contract. In an era of underfunding, well-meaning, dedicated school board trustees like those who serve our communities in the Vernon School District end up approving budgets built by intelligent, and compassionate district administrators, even though everyone involved with schools knows that these budgets do not meet the needs of students. Budgets like these cut teacher-librarian time when we are trying to improve literacy rates, they reduce school counsellor time when kids are facing more challenges than ever, they reduce support for fine arts and athletics when it is often these “frills” that attach many students to their schools, and they cut special education teachers who work with kids with diagnosed and undiagnosed learning challenges. They force class building decisions that jam 30 or more students into shops, science labs and home ec rooms that are designed to safely

the street when a large vehicle (followed by another) has barreled down our street. Another example of the significant safety risk that my children face is by the volume and speed of regular traffic (i.e. not large vehicles) using our road as a bypass route. Three weeks ago, one of my children was nearly hit by a rider on a sport bike as he and his companion on another bike were racing down our street. They did not turn right or left, but kept going down several blocks. and effectively house only 24 students (the limit that used to exist in contract for these classes). Finally, grossly inadequate budgets like the one that was passed most recently, force school principals to put three, four, five or more special needs students in the same class (the stripped contract language set the limit at two) at a time when the number of the certified educational assistants who support these kids’ inclusion has been drastically reduced. This is why, for two decades, teachers have fought to get learning conditions language in contract. It’s what guarantees the funding to adequately support kids. And, most importantly, it’s why we need everyone - students, PACs, principals associations, trustees and members of the public - to support teachers’ efforts to get these guarantees for our students back in contract. Barry dorval union Blues Listen up teachers, I've got an innovative idea for you. Perhaps the B.C. Teachers Federation has outlived its usefulness. According to Paul Boyd's letter, the BCTF is "playing a game – unrealistic wage demands." Weren't they originally meant to arbitrate for teachers' needs? What exactly do they do for you now? Why are you asking for another arbitrator

I can only surmise that racing down 25th Street was more expedient for them than remaining on 27th Street. Several other examples could be mentioned to further support my point. However, the issue of expediency (just mentioned) brings this issue to a loggerheads. What is more important, expediency for the residents of Vernon at large or safety for the young families who live on this street? The primary stakeholders in this issue are the residents of 25th Street and their children. While citizens who use the street may have a voice, I submit that the voice of those who live on 25th Street is weightier by far. And the safety of our children trumps the convenience of others who do not have to live with a heightened sense of danger and constant anxiety when their children are outside playing. My wife and I join our voices with the majority of those on our street calling for the installation of the proposed traffic flow changes. This is a safety issue first and foremost. Jared Penner in addition to the original arbitrator? How much bureaucracy do we need? Why not dispense with the union? This would result in an immediate increase in takehome pay. l. Melesko

Bids ‘Rise’ at celebrity art auction Morning Star Staff

The Rise Community Association rose to the occasion at its inaugural celebrity art auction Saturday. Despite the rain, the event held under umbrellas set up on Freddy’s Patio at The Golf Club on The Rise, was a resounding success. The Rise Community Association managed to raise $8,457 from the live auction of art, created by local celebrities with help from mentor artists, as well as from a Beachcomber patio set. The auction results, and a portion of the event ticket sales, is going towards the purchase of new captain’s beds for Vernon Women’s Transition House.

“We are so overwhelmed with how much support The Rise and the auction supporters have given us,” said Allison Briggs, with the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society. “This will make a significant difference for the women and children staying at the Transition House.” With Rise residents and amateur auctioneers Glen Carter and Rick Putz stepping in at the last minute to call out and receive the bids, the big winner of the night was a painting created by The Rise golf pro Lee Ranger and his mentor artist Kim Smith, which fetched $1,600. Paintings by the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society’s Brooke

McLardy, with her artist Linda Hunt, as well as realtor Lisa Salt, and mentor artist Eileen Sawracki, received $850 each, while Paralympic curler Sonja Gaudet and artist Lynne Gayan and up-andcoming artist Rachel Hofer, with painter Neil Erickson, received $500 and $550 for their works, respectively. “The evening, despite the rain, was a huge success emotionally as well as financially,” said Jo-Ann Rasmussen, artist coordinator with The Rise Community Association. “Watching the event unfold really confirmed for my husband and myself that we chose the right community and the right town to spend this next phase in our lives.”

Hip hop artist goes ‘Out for a Rip’ in Vernon Friday Kristi Patton Black Press

With more 5.7 million YouTube viewers, hip hop artist B.Rich is taking his song just out for a rip across Canada. The hip hop hoser, whose real name is Brendan Richmond, said it all started when his fellow musicians south of the border encouraged him to bring his Canadianisms and his “Canucklehead” voice to the mic. “They are from Baltimore and Pittsburgh and we always talk in our local accents when we are hanging out and one day they said you should do a whole track in the hoser voice,” said Richmond, whose tour is stopping in Vernon at Monashee’s Bar and Grill Friday. “I remember them commenting on how the Canadian accent is so non-threatening, it’s really like friendly and everything sounds like a question.” The song, which was written a few years ago and intended to be on a solo album, almost wrote itself. It’s things any Canadian would recognize from Tim Horton’s and plaid jackets to hockey and maple syrup, and hits almost every Canadian stereotype. But it is the chorus

“Canucklehead” rapper B.rich performs his viral song Out for a Rip live when he make an appearance at Monashee’s Bar and Grill in Vernon Friday. that gets everyone hooked. “Out for a rip” is a phrase used when heading out for a drive with a bunch of friends and simply hanging out. “I grew up in a small town in Ontario and it was a thing everyone said, ‘Just going out for a rip.’ But, it was when I was on my way to my parents’ house out in the country and pulled

into this gas station that I always stop at that there was this young hockey kid pumping the gas and he stuck his head in my window and says, ‘Just out for a rip are ya bud?’” said Richmond. “When I was writing the verses I didn’t know what the hook was going to be, then that popped into my head. I always wonder if that guy remembers saying that to me or

if it is something he just said to everyone.” It was a video Richmond made to go along with it that set things in motion. The band USS, which is scheduled to perform at Penticton’s Boonstock festival on the August long weekend, found it online and were playing it at sound checks and were getting a good reception from audiences. Richmond heard this and decided maybe it was time to start promoting the song. He uploaded the video one evening, not expecting much and went out with his friends. By the next morning it had 20,000 views; 100,000 by the end of the day and a million in a week. “It was a crazy week. It was pretty shocking,” said Richmond. “I try not to watch it anymore and just let it do its thing. I should probably go back and watch it to see what all the fuss is about.” Richmond said he even got a call from TSN to create a third verse for Out For A Rip tailored for the NHL panel. That was made into a comedy video with TV sports personalities James Duthie and Bob McKenzie playing along.

Song receives huge buzz Continued from A10

As a huge hockey fan it was a dream come true for Richmond, and it continues to be. He hears stories every day of the crazy places his song has been played. “I got an e-mail from some friends traveling in South East Asia in a bar in Cambodia and my song came on. Someone sent me a pic of an Out For a Rip personalized licence plate and truck decals, one in the Okanagan somewhere actually. It is so weird but awesome at the same time,” said Richmond. “There is actually companies out there selling Out For a Rip T-shirts. Someone at

e-mail

the Olympics was in the crowd with a sign that said, ‘just out for a gold are ya bud?’” Toronto Blue Jays slugger Brett Lawrie has even acknowledged the song, tweeting the lyrics from his account. Richmond though, is not looking to be a one-hit wonder. Oddly enough, considering some of the words in his hit song, he had a successful gig performing hip hop for children. Hey Kids is a group he was part of that rapped about everything from trucks, robots, how to give a high-five, the alphabet and other things meant to entertain and stretch chil-

The

dren’s minds. Richmond has also been working with a group of lyricists (Shark Tank) in the U.S. and working on finishing his solo album. “I’m not looking to write a whole album of hoser rap. I like it, but I don’t want to do too much and for it to get old. My solo stuff is normal hip hop. I grew up blue collar so it’s a lot about that,” he said. “For now, I’m just out here working hard and taking this song across Canada.” B.Rich’s Out for a Rip summer tour stops at Monashee’s Bar & Grill, Friday. Cover is $5 (19plus only). Show starts at 10 p.m.

Editor’s note: The following is from the Zimbabwe Project Team in Vernon. Cramped travelling over miles of dusty and bumpy roads to partake of the opening celebration for a refurbished rural school library, building a play centre for a group of delighted preschoolers, being welcomed into a small village with singing, dancing and poetry recitals by the villagers. These are just some of the amazing memories this year’s Zimbabwe Project Team has returned home with. The team spent three weeks in Zimbabwe visiting villages and projects supported by Zimbabwe Project Canada (ZPC). From the preschool in the city of Harare (Zimbabwe’s capital) where the team built the play centre, to the remote mountain villages, there was much for the team to see and learn about in the three weeks they spent there and those weeks were very full with activities. In the villages, the team visited ZPC-supported projects such as the poultry, goat and pig raising projects where funds to build pens and purchase the first animals and their food had been provided; sewing projects where ZPC assistance provided sewing machines and materials; gardening projects that were

Poultry farmers in Zimbabwe have been supported by Zimbabwe Project Canada, which provides poultry for sale and a lifetime skill of rearing poultry, creating employment opportunities. assisted by the drilling of a well in order to keep the gardens flourishing and provide much needed food for the villages. And at each site visited, the gratitude of the Zimbabwean people was tangible, in the huge smiles on their faces and the joyousness they exhibited. Zimbabwe is one of the most economically depressed countries in Africa, and as well has the highest number of children orphaned by AIDS of

any country on that continent. Consequently, many residents in the rural villages care for the orphans even though they struggle to feed their own families. It is for this reason that the ZPC endeavours to assist villagers to create projects they can run and manage and that will provide income and community development for the well-being of the entire village. Each year, the project sends a team to Zimbabwe to visit

the existing projects, receive proposals for new projects and to reconnect with our many friends there. These are trips of a lifetime that leave lasting memories and forever change the way participants view the world. For more information, visit the website at www.zimbabweproject.com or contact Angela at 250-503-1129. Donations to the project’s work may also be made online.

A porcupine in the garden

s all my rain barrels were getting low, that short downpour we had on Sunday just filled them up in no time. I also saved a day of watering. A lot of my plants have been mulched by now and it makes such a difference. Where the ground is bare, it dries so fast in the sun and being mostly clay, it hardens like rocks. Where the mulch is about two to three centimetres, even after a sunny day, it is moist and soft Jocelyne Sewell and the weeds don’t have a chance to sprout. This year a lot of my flowers were volunteers but unlike the other years, a lot of them are being removed. I am keeping the best ones for seeds and all the rest is helping my compost. I used to let everything grow and it becomes a jungle so I decided to be merciless. In order to spend more time in the garden I am taking a break from the market until September. One early evening last week, as I was weeding, I heard some noise. Thinking

A GArdener’s diAry

that it was the birds in the tree, I looked up and to my surprise about five feet from where I was standing was the biggest porcupine I ever saw. He or she was sitting in the peach tree having a snack on green peaches. This is one I don’t want to make angry. The following notes came from the internet as I have been reading a lot about these rodents in the last few days. The average porcupine has approximately 30,000 quills. These quills are specially designed hairs and are very sharp and have a barbed tip. They are used as a defence mechanism and only used when the porcupine feels threatened. The common porcupine eats leaves, herbs, twigs and green plants like clover, and in winter it may eat tree bark. The North American porcupine often climbs trees to find food. North American porcupines use their large front teeth to satisfy a healthy appetite for wood. They eat natural bark and stems, and have been known to invade campgrounds and chew on canoe paddles. North American porcupines also eat fruit, leaves, and springtime buds. They love anything with salt. Their short legs cause them to walk

with a waddle, and they are quite slow and awkward when they move about. Like all rodents, porcupine’s teeth grow constantly so they have a great need to gnaw in order to keep their teeth ground to a short enough length. Porcupines are edible and have been used by humans as emergency food. Native Americans use the quills for decoration and the porcupine’s expensive hair is used for fly-fishing lures. A porcupine’s eyesight is poor, but its keen senses of smell and hearing make up for that lack. Good thing it has not found my Saskatoon forest yet. With all the rain we had in the spring, I am harvesting the best Saskatoons ever. They are juicy and plump. This is the time of the year I just love. In a handful you can have strawberries, raspberries, Saskatoons, gooseberries and cherries. What better snack can you ask for. Don’t forget to share your harvest with the less fortunate. The Upper Room Mission is serving a lot of meals and can always use some extra food. The Salvation Army also is always in need of donations. There are many ways to share your blessings.

More than 70 people take part in the recent fishing day at Mabel Lake Provincial Park near Lumby. looked like a rainy day, and the volunteers helped with the fishing, cooked hamburgers, hotdogs, brewed

coffee and even served up ice cream and watermelon. “Some fish were caught and bragged

about and everyone went home happy. We are all looking forward to doing it again next year,” said Andersen.

A berry good time

y strawberries may be finished but there’s still plenty out there though the season is almost done. However blueberries, raspberries and cherries are now ripening and available in plenty supply. Put them all together with apple or a bit of rhubarb and you’ll have the perfect bumbleberry crisp this side of heaven. Did you know that B.C. accounts for almost the entire annual Canadian production of raspberries? We do. Raspberries are low in calories and saturated fats but are a rich source of dietary fiber and antioxidants. Scientific studies show that these antioxidant compounds Cathi Litzenberger have potential health benefits against cancer, aging, inflammation and neuro-degenerative diseases, Fresh raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin-C, and contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, manganese, copper, iron and magnesium. They are rich in B-complex group of vitamins and vitamin K. No wonder raspberries are called nature’s perfect food. Enjoy some today. Light raspberry cream pie Crust: 1-1/3 cups ground pecans 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Filling: 1/2 cup water 1 package unflavoured gelatin 6 tablespoons powdered sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 cups fresh raspberries 1 cup whipping cream

Cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Stir in raspberries. Let stand about 30 minutes or until thickened. Beat cream in large bowl at high speed of electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in raspberry mixture. Gently spoon into prepared crust. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours before serving. Try this one with fresh blueberries too. Raspberry shortcake with blueberries 2 -1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon fine salt 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 3/4 cup cold heavy cream 1/4 cup buttermilk 1 cup raspberries Sanding sugar (optional, for decorating) 2 cups whipping cream 1/2 tsp. vanilla 2 tbsp. sugar 2 cups raspberries and blueberries for serving In a food processor, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Transfer to a bowl and stir in cream, buttermilk and raspberries until just combined. Do not overmix. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough into 8 portions and shape into rounds. Place, 1-1/2 inches apart, on a parchmentlined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired, and freeze 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. Whip cream with vanilla and 2 tbsp. sugar. To serve, halve and fill with whipped cream, raspberries and blueberries.

feature event: ghost tours of vernon returns for its 11th year

he Greater Vernon Museum and Archives is pleased to announce that the Ghost Tours of Vernon is back for its 11th year of spine-tingling tales and haunted houses. Starting, as always, from the steps between the Vernon Museum and the former library, the tour will run every day from July 26 until Aug. 1 at 9 p.m. The tours cost $10 for ages 13 and up, $5 for those 12 and under. “It is hard to believe that this will be my 11th year of holding the tours,” says creator and host Mr. Gabriel David Sumegi Newman the 2nd. Newman, a professional storyteller and performer, created the ghost tours as a way of combining the art of storytelling with local history. “You come for the ghosts, which there are many of, but you leave with a new understanding and appreciation for the history of the region,” says Newman. Tours leave at 9 p.m. from the steps of the Vernon Museum from Saturday, July 26 to Friday, Aug. 1. It is an outdoor walking tour and runs rain or shine so dress appropriately. Ticket price is $10 for those over the age of 12 and $5 for those 12 and under (cash only). No reservations are necessary unless you want to book a private tour for 20 or more.

Restructure questioned

Quick Response

kevin parnell

“There is value in questioning where we are spending our money.”

Black Press

Vernon Fire Department photo

Vernon firefighters respond to a truck fire in the 5000 block of Anderson Way at 12:56 p.m. Monday. The cause is believed to be a mechanical malfunction in the engine compartment and is not considered suspicious.

A member of Lake Country council is raising issues with the recent restructuring and says the public has a right to question the moves the district is making. Coun. Lisa Cameron says she is concerned about the district eliminating positions when it is in fact the fastest growing community in the Okanagan. “My concern is about capacity when we are a growing community,” said Cameron. “We’re losing talent and in terms of savings from this phase of restructuring, that will only be realized if no one else is hired in 2015 or 2016.” Cameron says one of the district’s hardest hit departments is the arts and culture department which she says has just one person remaining to work with community arts groups. “Without a dedicated team and budget it will be difficult for all of our community groups to work with the municipality,” said Cameron. “I don’t wants arts and culture to get lost in the shuffle.” The final phase of Lake Country’s restructuring plan is currently underway with three positions being eliminated for a total of 9.5 staffing cuts dating back to 2012. While earlier phases of the restructure had unanimous support of council, the most recent phase was approved only by a majority of council at an in-camera (not public) meeting. “I fear we aren’t going to be able to support our community groups that do so much for us,” said

— Lisa Cameron

Cameron. “This only leaves one person in arts and culture.” Lake Country administrator Alberto De Feo says the recent cuts make the district as lean as it could possibly be and strong growth in the community may trigger hiring to deal with capacity issues, something he says would be a nice problem to have. “We hope this happens as we are putting a lot of effort into attracting new development and investment in the community,” said De Feo, adding that arts groups will still have a primary contact within the district but it will be someone new. For Cameron she says she wants the district to continue to grow and work with its community groups but she can understand why some members of the public are questioning the district’s restructure moves. “Any question about where taxpayers money is going is fair game,” she said. “We have to look at this critically and I think there is value in questioning where we are spending our money.”

UBC medical program expands facility at hospital Morning Star Staff

Students, physicians and administrators with the University of B.C.’s Faculty of Medicine’s Southern Medical Program will soon have a new expanded work space at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. A portion of the Polson Tower fifth floor is now under development to serve the program. “The new space will not only enhance the learning environment for our students, but provide an excellent resource for our valued teachers,” said Dr. Allan Jones, UBC’s regional associate dean. “Additionally, it will provide continu-

ing professional development opportunities for family physicians and specialists within Vernon and surrounding communities.” The new medical school space, a total of 3,123-square-feet, will be situated in the previously empty shelled-in west end of the fifth floor in the Polson tower. It will include centralized education areas, a clinical skills room and two videoconference rooms, as well as an on-call sleep area, lounge, and lockers for medical students. Construction on the UBC space has now begun under a construction management services contract with Black and McDonald, and is expected to be complete this fall.

Medical students entering the program complete two years of academic training at UBC Okanagan and the newly-built clinical teaching campus at Kelowna General Hospital. They then transition to the hospitals and clinics for third and fourth year, gaining essential hands-on clinical experience on their path to becoming a doctor. VJH and Vernon family practice clinics currently support SMP’s integrated community clerkship program, which offers a full year of clinical training for two thirdyear UBC medical students interested in practicing family and specialty medicine in a smaller community.

The program enters its fourth year this fall, hosting six third-year medical students over the past three years. More learners and residents are expected with the possible expansion of the Vernon intensive care program in the future as well as the introduction of residency programs. “We are incredibly fortunate to have such a strong community of over 60 health professionals in Vernon teaching and supporting our students,” said Jones. Construction and equipment for the UBC space on the fifth floor will cost about $983,000 and is funded by the Ministry of Health.

Boy wants to be reunited with bike Morning Star Staff

A Vernon boy is missing his new set of wheels. Tyson Post, who is eight and autistic, had his bicycle stolen from his yard July 3. “For his birthday a couple months ago, being a single mom on disability with limited funds, I was able to afford a new bike from him,” said mom Tammy Post. “He is very upset and devastated and just wants his bike back.” Post is hoping the public will help locate the bike so it can be returned to her son. “My disability prevents me from driving, so our bikes are like our vehicle, our only form of transportation,” she said. “Mine was not taken only his. Being on disability makes it very hard to afford photo submitteD to just go get a new bike to replace his Tyler Post, eight, wants his bicycle returned after it was stolen stolen one.” from his yard July 3.

New van hits the road Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Salvation Army put out the call for help and the Kalamalka Rotary Club answered. Pastor Jean-Curtis Plante was able to find a replacement cube van for a great price and secure a no-interest loan for the purchase price of $30,000. “If the van isn’t running, it causes a huge problem in the day-to-day operation of our thrift store and food bank,” he said. When the Kalamalka Rotary Club heard of the Salvation Army’s challenges, it came forward with a donation to cover the cost of the van using funds

B.C. Fresh Salmon

Wild Silverbrite salmon is one of BC’s best kept secrets in terms of price, size and quality. Known by the First Nations as “Keta”, when caught wild in our oceans, it is silver in colour, firm in texture which makes it a prized fish for smoking, and high in Omega 3 oils.

Silver Star Rotary will host its annual Rotary Ride - three different lengths of routes travelling from Vernon to Spallumcheen and back - to raise funds for local charities July 27.

Citizens On Patrol needs volunteers Morning Star Staff

The Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are currently recruiting and accepting applications for new volunteers for the North Okanagan Citizens On Patrol program. The COP program is a community-based volunteer group that helps to minimize crime from occurring. Volunteers give their time, energy and expertise to become the extended eyes and ears for the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP. The program main purpose is to have volunteers observe, record and report suspicious activities. Program goals include to act as a deterrence and to provide a presence through patrolling by vehicle, by foot or by other means, to educate the communities about crime prevention and to provide awareness on crimerelated issues such as theft, vandalism, theft from autos and speeding. “The program works under the backing and direction of the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP and will patrol and work within the areas of the Village of Lumby, electoral areas D and E of the Regional District of North

“The program works under the backing and direction of the RCMP.” — Warren Smith

Okanagan, the City of Enderby, Township of Spallumcheen and the City of Armstrong,” said Warren Smith, rural programs coordinator for the RCMP Safe Communities Unit. The Citizens on Patrol program is looking for people who want to contribute time to their community and the police. Candidates must be at least 17, a resident of the area, have no criminal record, a valid B.C. driver’s licence, and able to work within a structured environment with other people. Successful candidates must commit one four-hour shift per month, have good communication skills and have no health or other problems that may impede them from working in an office/ community environment. Benefits of volunteering for the program include gaining or

expanding volunteer experience; access to training, development and expansion of personal experience; increased knowledge of the RCMP and a chance to give back to the community. COP volunteers will also assist with programs like Speed Watch, Stolen Auto Recovery and Lockout Auto Crime, along with special events, specialized projects and many other opportunities.

Pospisil savours Wimbledon crown Morning Star Staff

“Close your eyes, hope you play the best tennis of your life.” Wishes do come true for Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil, 24, who made the statement after he and his 21-year-old American partner, Jack Sock of Lincoln, Neb., won the Wimbledon men’s doubles crown Saturday in London. Pospisil, who now lives and trains in Vancouver, and Sock upset defending champion American twins Bob and Mike Bryan 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in a threehour, six-minute thriller. Pospisil and Sock were playing together for the first time, and are the first team since 2000 (Lleyton Hewitt and Max Mirnyi) to win a Grand Slam title in their first tournament together. The Bryan twins were bidding for a 16th Grand Slam doubles title and 99th overall. The winners broke the topseeded Bryan brothers’ service in the final game on their fifth match point, with Sock smashing the winning forehand on a Mike Bryan second serve. “The best part of today was not having to hit anything on match point,” joked Pospisil to reporters at the post-victory press conference. “Just watching Jack run behind the forehand and rip it down the line into the court.” Sock and Pospisil were playing on Wimbledon’s Centre Court for the first time. Pospisil, ranked 179th in the speciality, was playing in only his fifth doubles event at a major. “Everything felt like a movie, it was going by so fast,” said Pospisil Monday in a conference call with reporters from Bradenton, Fla, where he’s preparing for hardcourt tournaments in Colombia, Altanta and Washington, D.C. “It has settled down now, I have taken a plane ride and I’m back home and I’m seeing the all the articles and images and I’m start-

FILE PHOTO

Vernon’s Vasek Pospisil and American partner Jack Sock captured the Wimbledon men’s doubles tennis crown Saturday in London with a thrilling five-set victory over defending champions Bob and Mike Bryan of the U.S. ing to understand that it was a dream come true. “The champagne started flowing as soon as we got back into the locker room and we had a great night. It was a very good night for my friends and family.” Pospisil was born in Vernon, the youngest of three boys to Milos and Mila. His story of hitting shopping carts loaded with tennis balls at the old Vernon Secondary School courts with his dad and brothers is well-known. His brother, Tom, was at centre court to see Vasek win Wimbledon. “My brother was in London so we got to celebrate afterwards,”

said Pospisil. “The first person I called after I won was my dad, then I called my mom. I could barely understand my mom, she was so overcome with emotion. My father had trouble speaking too, just not as bad.” Pospisil and Sock saved four match points over two fifth-set games before Sock drilled a winner down the line for the historic victory. “Our games just clicked perfectly together,” said Pospisil of the pairing with Sock. “I think, throughout the tournament, when one guy was down the other guy would raise their game. I think we

were complementing each other extremely well the whole tournament. That’s why we got to the final.” Sock became the third-youngest player to win both a Grand Slam men’s doubles title and a Grand Slam mixed doubles championship in the Open era, adding to the mixed title he won with American Melanie Oudin at the U.S. Open in 2011. Todd Woodbridge and John McEnroe, both 20, were the only men to win both titles at a younger age, with McEnroe being the youngest. Pospisil’s previous best was the

round of 16 with Ottawa’s Jesse Levine at Wimbledon in 2013 and with Toronto’s Daniel Nestor at the 2013 US Open. The last time there was a Canadian man in the Wimbledon doubles final was in 2009 when Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic won their second All England Club title. Both Pospisil and Sock made early exits in singles play. Pospisil went out in the first round, Sock was eliminated in round two by another Canadian, Milos Raonic. “The doubles win is definitely the highlight of my career, that goes without saying,” said Pospisil. “The last two weeks have been amazing as the whole year has been a struggle (with injury). I was just not feeling good on the court. “Last week was the first week I’ve been pain-free on the court this year, and to cap it off with a Wimbledon title is not bad.” It was the first Wimbledon men’s doubles final to feature four players from North America since 1983 when Peter Fleming and McEnroe defeated fellow Americans Tim and Tom Gullikson. Pospisil’s victory capped a great run at Wimbledon for Canadian tennis. Quebec’s Genie Bouchard lost the women’s final Saturday but became the first Canadian to reach a grand slam final in the open era. Raonic lost in the men’s semifinal Friday to seven-time champion Roger Federer of Switzerland. Nestor and Kristina Mladenovic of France lost to Mirnyi and Chan Hao-Ching of Taiwan 7-6 (4), 7-5 in the mixed doubles semifinal. Pospisil will compete in the Rogers Cup tournament Aug. 2-10 in Toronto. He lost in the semifinals of the same event last year in Montreal to Raonic.

Tigers draw ‘Rocks for boxla semifinal TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

The Highway 97A rivalry got dusted off as the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League playoffs began Tuesday night at Kal Tire Place. The second-ranked Vernon Source for Sports Tigers battled the third-seeded Armstrong Shamrocks (6-10) in Game 1 of the best-of-five semifinal. Game two is Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Armstrong’s Nor-Val Sports Centre. “It is always fun playing our main rivals. I think the short travel will be beneficial for us,” said Tigers’ coach Keith Hanna. The Tigers (13-1-2) went 4-0 against the Irish this season and outscored them by 24 goals in their regular season tilts. “We would have liked to play Kamloops in the first round,” said Shamrocks’ coach Brett Logan. “With Vernon hosting provincials all we needed to do was get past Kamloops and we would have got in. No big deal though, we have something to prove now.” The Tigers enter the postseason with a nine-game unbeaten streak and are looking to keep things the same in the second season. “We need to come out and play our game and be willing to work

hard,” said Hanna. The Tigers finished the season with a 7-7 draw against the Kamloops Venom Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Vernon needed to win by three or more goals to finish ahead of firstplace Kamloops. “We played a great game, it was a good last game before playoffs,” said Hanna. Prior to Saturday’s opening faceoff, there was a moment of silence in memory of Miles Wohlford, the 14-year-old boy who died Friday night. His Bantam A Legends lacrosse team was on hand to honour him as well, and the Tigers hung Wohlford’s No. 6 jersey at their bench. Both teams had already clinched home floor in the first round, but still entertained the 200 fans with a highpaced, hard-hitting affair. Quintin Harrish led Vernon with two goals. Darrell Landels, Jay Seaton, Ryan Sarazin, Brett Hanna and Braden Barr added singles. The Tigers contained the league’s leading scorer, Brady Jorgensen, to a hat trick. Avalanches have been easier to stop than Jorgensen this season. The Venom sniper recorded 66 goals and 103 points in 16 games. Kamloops takes on the South Okanagan Flames in the other bestof-five league semi.

Jarrett McNeal checks his line with the help of his caddy Myles Johnson in the B.C. men’s amateur qualifier Saturday at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club.

A handful of Vernon area golfers have qualified for the 112th B.C. men’s amateur championships next week at the Seymour Golf and Country Club in North Vancouver. Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club hosted the 36-hole Zone 2 (Okanagan) qualifying tournament on the weekend. Connor Kozak of Spall has earned a spot on the Zone 2 team, finishing in a tie for second place with Kelowna’s James Casorso at the qualifier at 1-over 143. Kozak fired rounds of 73-70. The pair were two shots back of the event winner, John Mlikotich of Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna. Grabbing the fourth and final zone team spot was Oliver’s Thierry Martine of Fairview

Mountain with a 144, one shot ahead of three golfers. The top-18 in the field qualify for the B.C. men’s amateur, which begins July 15. Jarrett McNeal of Spall fired rounds of 70-78 to finish in a tie for 10th place at 148. Vernon’s Matt McEachran-Law (72-79-151) was in a tie for 16th while Matthew Kreutz (74-79-153) of Vernon grabbed the 18th and final spot, one shot ahead of clubmate Jonathan Gardner (79-75-154). n Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie is in the field at the B.C. Amateur and Mid-Amateur Women’s Championships being played at The Dunes in Kamloops. Competition started Tuesday. Barrie was 14th on the same course at last week’s B.C. Junior Girls championship.

B.C. Games to be a ball

Vernon rallies at Junior Ryder Cup Morning Star Staff

TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

A trio of Vernon baseball stars and a local coach will represent Zone 2 at the B.C. Summer Games, July 17-20, in Nanaimo. “I’m very excited about the atmosphere and being around a higher level of baseball,” said pitcher Keaton Mandryk. There will be eight zones competing for gold in Nanaimo. The Games feature up to 3,900 athletes, coaches and officials from across B.C. Competition will take place in 19 sports. “Our goal is to get to the medal rounds. Last time we missed out because of a tie,” said Zone 2 coach Charles Law. This will be Law’s third stint coaching the Zone team, he was a part of the 2008 and 2012 squads. His best finish came in 2012 when the Thompson-Okanagan placed fifth. Catcher, first baseman, third baseman Colton Schaper-Kotter, 13, is the youngest player on the team. If he had to choose his favourite position, it would be first base. “I really like picking balls in the dirt. It is a good position for me to play,” said Schaper-Kotter. “I think it is just because he doesn’t have to run around a whole lot,” joked Law. Schaper-Kotter will begin Grade 9 next fall at VSS and is a Texas Rangers fan. He is having a pretty good year by his standards, hitting near .300 with plenty of doubles like his idol, Vladimir Guerrero.

TYLER LOWEY/MORNING STAR

Baseball coach Charles Law (left) is joined by Vernon athletes Keaton Mandryk, Caden Doyle and Colton Schaper-Kotter, who will represent Zone 2 at the B.C Summer Games, July 17-20. Caden Doyle is fresh off a scorching season with the Vernon Tim Hortons Bantam AA Canadians, a team that went 16-4. Doyle patrolled centrefield for the C’s and can’t wait for the Games. “I’ve never played for a team like this, it’s gonna be great,” said Doyle. Doyle is a huge Toronto Blue Jays fan and his favourite player is Edwin Encarnacion. “Doyle’s calling card is his speed. He is going to play a big part on this team,” said Law. With Doyle and Schaper-Kotter taking care of the sticks, Mandryk will look to mow down the opposition. He struck out a careerhigh 10 batters this spring and will look to fan more hitters at the Games. “I like my change-up and curve ball to get

guys out,” said Mandryk. Mandryk played for the Okanagan Athletics Bantam team this spring. The 14-year-old right-hander just finished Grade 9 at Fulton and is really excited for the Games. “Keaton is going to be one of our top guys out in Nanaimo. He’s got a good arm and we are going to lean on him to get guys out,” said Law. “This is going to be a great tournament. I hope these kids do well and have fun. This is a great opportunity for them for exposure to the next level,” said Law. This tournament is a chance for players to get scouted for midget AAA baseball, the B.C. Premier Baseball League and the Canada Summer Games.

Four wins from Dexter Wieten, Taylor Scott, Ryan Vest and Matt Kreutz on the second day gave Vernon a 10-8 win over Kelowna in the annual Junior Ryder Cup golf event.

Bosman deked the Cantinas’ keeper outside the 18-yard box and found the right corner. Rheinhard Foerderer scored both Kelowna goals in the second half, taking a gift-wrapped back pass in the 59th minute, and got the equalizer with a topshelf rocket from 20 yards in the 83rd minute. Man of the Match for both squads were midfielders Gerson Betman of Bosman and Archie MacDonald for Cantinas.

U14 girls capture provincial bronze Morning Star Staff

Vernon United U14 girls won bronze and the fair play team award at the U14 Challenge Cup provincial youth soccer finals in Chilliwack. Vernon advanced to the medal round after placing second in their pool with a 2-0 win over Nelson, a 2-1 loss to Chilliwack and a 0-0 tie against Cowichan Valley. The bronze medal game went Sunday afternoon against North Shore Vancouver with United winning 1-0. “The girls played solid all weekend, controlling the majority of the play and creating numerous scoring opportunities,” said head coach Al Gee. The girls were also awarded the fair play team award at the conclusion of the week. This further exemplifies the team’s motto: “Tough and classy. We will knock you down but help you up with a smile.” The team acknowledges it could not have had such a great year without the amazing commitment from coaches Gee, Ley Christensen and Rick Latta. Vernon United U13 girls fell 2-0 to Powell River in the bronze medal match in their provincial tournament in Chilliwack. Aggressive defense down the line by Talia Quiring and Carly Southam frustrated Powell River’s wingers, and tight marking by Sydney

Bergman, Kelsey Carriere, and Gabby Triggs shut down all opportunities through the middle. The Sunshine Coast squad were able to put two goals past a tough Hailey Yablonski in the United goal. Vernon opened the tournament with a highpaced, end-to-end match against Richmond which resulted in a 1-0 United win on a second-half strike from Mira Szudek. Vernon’s defence was tight with Yablonski making some key saves. United played host Chilliwack in its second contest and fell 6-1. Szudek scored the only goal for Vernon, which got strong games from Elena Gaskell, Emily Thomas, Emilia Durfeld, Brianna Bobbitt and Kelsey Falk. Szudek’s goal was the only one allowed by the Chilliwack team all season. Vernon finished round-robin play with a 7-0 win over Prince George. Yablonski earned the clean sheet while Danica Ariana led the offence with two goals. Singles went to Szudek, Thomas, Megan Sherwood (on a great cross from Makena Kersey), Falk and Bobbitt, who received a great through ball from Keira Corriea. “Though a bronze medal would have been a great reward for the hard work the players put into their season, a fourth-place result at the team’s first provincials isn’t too shabby,” said team coach Felicia O’Gorman.

Bridge by Phillip Alder BE HAPPY TO GIVE THEM THEIR DUE Hesiod, an early Greek poet, said, â€œObserve due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.â€? That applies to many bridge contracts, either to make or to break them. This deal gives both sides a chance for good timing once North-South push into four hearts. West leads the spade two. How can East defeat the contract? How can South get home if East wins the first trick and tries to cash a second spade winner? The bidding was difficult. When one spade came around, North thought about

making a takeout double, but was rightly nervous about having only two hearts. After North balanced with two clubs, South might have passed, but advanced with two hearts, knowing that his partner would remember that he had not immediately made a two-heart overcall. North cue-bid two spades to show a strong hand and ask his partner to bid no-trump with a spade stopper. (Five clubs can be defeated after a trump lead.) East beats four hearts if he shifts to the diamond queen at trick two. This gives the defenders the tempo to collect one spade, two hearts and one diamond. But that is not clear-cut.

If East tries to cash a second spade trick, South should ruff and be willing to give the defenders one spade and two hearts. He should ignore the trump finesse and cash his top hearts. Then he turns to the clubs and gets his diamond losers away in time.

childbirth has dropped significantly from 523,000 deaths in 1990 to 289,000 in 2013. The number of children dying, under the age of five, has dropped drastically from nearly 12 million in 1990 to 6.6 million in 2012. Prime Minister Harper stated, “There is a moral imperative to saving the lives of vulnerable women and children in some of the poorest countries around the world when it is in our power to do so. It is unacceptable that these vulnerable global citizens die from preventable causes which can be addressed with proven, affordable and cost effective solutions – some costing mere pennies.” With the leadership of Prime Minister Harper, Canada has become the global leading voice on freedom, human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, and most importantly, the hands that help the poor and oppressed of this world. This should make every Canadian proud.

Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

Maternal health is vital

t the Muskoka G-8 Summit in 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper brought maternal, newborn and child health to the forefront of the global development agenda. Since then, we have worked together globally, as never before, significantly reducing the number of women who die each year during pregnancy or childbirth, dramatically increasing the number of children who Colin Mayes live past the age of five, and preventing an estimated two million deaths in the last three years from disease alone. During the last three years, we’ve learned important lessons about enhancing immunization and nutrition, about strengthening health care systems, and about the importance of collecting and maintaining vital statistics including birth and death registries. Since this initiative began the number of women who die each year during pregnancy or
