WHEELING ALONG LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR
Friends Tyler Blondeel, 12, and Isaac Coombs, 12, walk their bikes along Kin Beach Thursday looking for a good place to swim.
Parties prompt parental advisory Authorities are warning parents who allow their teenage children to attend outdoor bush parties are putting the kids in danger. The concern from officials such as Vernon School District drug and alcohol counsellor Doug Rogers stems after a Vernon teen was stabbed earlier this month at a bush party near Becker Lake, where an estimated 300 people Szoboticsanec attended the party. He was taken out of the bush by friends who called an ambulance which met the group at Noble Canyon Road in Lavington. The victim was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital and underwent surgery. Rogers has seen the aftermath of bush parties in local schools, and advises bush party season has begun. “I see kids that don’t look very good; physically they’re in rough shape,” said Rogers, a
father of three, including two teens. “There are arguments, bickering about somebody talking to somebody’s boyfriend carrying on from the party. These are choices that a family makes on family time but we’re the ones picking up the pieces in a lot of cases, whether it’s us, police or the hospital.” In Prince George last weekend, a man, 19, and woman, 17, were killed at a bush party when the car they were in ended up in a lake. Dr. Mike Concannon, emergency room physician at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, has also seen bush party carnage. “We see severely intoxicated kids, drugged kids, kids who have been assaulted,” said Concannon, father of a teenager. “We’ve seen kids pepper sprayed, had rocks thrown at them, flaming logs thrown at them. We’ve seen kids burned either jumping over a fire or pushed into the fire.” And while Concannon said he’s seen one sexual assault, the Vernon RCMP believe sexual assaults happen regularly at bush parties. They just go unreported. “I get calls from school counsellors saying ‘this is what I know happened,’ which is the making of a sexual assault, but the kids don’t want to report it because they don’t want

atmosphere is completely different. All the officials want is for parents to have a knowledge of what happens at the parties that their kids are going to, and to provide a safe alternative. “This is about keeping our kids safe and balancing it with them having a good time, it’s not about us depressing them from becoming young adults,” said Rogers. “But we have to raise the knowledge for the parents and have them understand they are putting their kids in harm’s way and allowing them to go to places where drugs and alcohol are readily available, and very negative things may happen.” Rogers’ recommendations for parents: ■ Be open and honest in communication with the children; ■ Network with other parents, know their kids’ friends and their parents; ■ Never serve or turn a blind eye to alcohol or drug use in your home. “You’re legally responsible. Even when the kids leave your party, parents have legal responsibilities.” ■ Rogers also suggested via a colleague that instead of allowing kids to go to a bush party, rent a limo and have the kids go to dinner in a limo.

their mom or dad to find out,” said Vernon RCMP school liaison officer Const. Kathy Szoboticsanec, a step-mother to growing children. Parents should also know who goes to the parties. It’s not just high school kids. “There are people there aged 20, 30 and 40,” said Szoboticsanec. Added Rogers: “Those people are there to hook up with your child, using their vernacular. If they don’t hook up using their charm, they’ll ply your child with drugs and alcohol.” Asked what goes on at these parties, Szoboticsanec countered “what doesn’t happen,” referring to drugs, drinking, sexual assaults, stolen vehicles and people leaving parties driving while intoxicated. “And there are those who will go there who may not drink but look after those friends who have no boundaries, and it puts them in a vulnerable position,” she said. “Now they’re expected to give first aid or take people out of the party.” Rogers and Szoboticsanec have both heard from parents who say “well the kids just want to have fun and we went to bush parties when we were young” but the party

This event will be an opportunity for groups or individuals to view the options currently being considered and supply input on the proposed options. This input will assist with the development of the building program and help establish required facility attributes. The open house will start with an approximately 30-minute walk-through and presentation of the preliminary plans before opening the floor for questions and

Firefighters are fed up with suspicious fires. A blazing pile of pallets Thursday evening was added to a growing list of suspicious fires in the past week. Vernon Fire Rescue Services was called to the blaze in the 4600 block of 34th Street (near Vernon Towing) shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday evening. “It was in an open area so there were no other exposures or concern at the time,” said Jack Blair, VFRS’ deputy chief of operations. But he adds: “Again, RCMP attended the scene.” Jack Blair The police are investigating the suspicious fire, which is the latest in a rash around town. A boat was set ablaze Tuesday evening, a fire was sparked at a vacant home Monday evening, a portable outhouse was torched Monday morning, a pile of railway ties was burned Friday night and a vacant commercial building was ruined by fire last Sunday evening. RCMP are doing everything they can, including checking surveillance tapes of nearby businesses, as the fires remain under investigation. In the meantime, Blair asks: “If people see anything suspicious to please notify RCMP right away and hopefully we can put an end to this.”

Directors approve Canada Day request ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s 2014 Canada Day celebrations are getting a financial boost from the Regional District of North Okanagan. Directors decided, but not without debate, to a $2,000 request from the Canada Day committee. Canada Day was fully supported by late RDNO chairperson and longtime City of Vernon councillor Patrick Nicol, who died in January. Director Catherine Lord of the City of Vernon said Nicol was “the driving force behind Canada Day festivities, and also put his own money into it.” “The committee is scrambling because they haven’t had time to put things together and raise funds to put it on properly the way it’s been put on in the past,” said Lord, adding that all

It would be setting a precedent that’s not good.” Said Acton: “We’re not giving the chair the discretion. We’re telling him to do it and using his discretionary fund to do it. That’s fine if he wants to do it, but it shouldn’t be a vote. He should just do it. “Next year we could force him to spend the whole $5,000 and he’s got nothing to be discretionary with. Kind of takes away the whole point of having that discretionary fund.” The question on the motion was called and everybody voted in favour of the $2,000 request from the discretionary fund except for Acton.
Family delighted with remains return ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Even when the remains of her beloved mom, Charlotte, were stolen out of her Foothills home, Manon Care believed Charlotte was still with her. And Charlotte was giving it to her. “I kept hearing her say, ‘how could you do this to me?’” laughed Care Friday morning, three days after Charlotte’s
ashes, stolen in a May 12 break, enter and theft from Care’s home, were returned anonymously. “She absolutely adored my husband (Corey) and I could hear mom saying to him ‘How could you let her do this to me?’ Among the many items stolen on May 12 from the Cares home was a royal blue velour bag containing Charlotte’s ashes. Inside the bag was a
box that contained Charlotte’s name. Attached to the bag was a smaller mesh bag containing a wedding ring and band. The ring and band were not returned. Care said the plan for Charlotte, who died Feb. 19, was to mix her remains with those of Care’s father, Paul, who died in July 1999, and keep them forever in her home. While the theft devastated
Care, she believes that “99 per cent of the people in this world are good,” and was optimistic the remains would be returned. “I refused to believe I wasn’t going to get her back,” said Care. “I could not and would not believe I wasn’t going to get her back. The theft was like having her taken away from me again. “I am really very happy to have her home again with us.”

News Shotgun incident leads to jail term roger knox Morning Star Staff
A Cherryville man will spend almost 30 months of new time in jail after he was sentenced for what his lawyer called “an extreme error in judgment.” Judge L. Wyatt agreed with a joint submission by Crown counsel Shelley Meldrum and defence lawyer Glenn Verdurmen in the matter of Travis Keath Alois Blaeser, 25. Blaeser had pleaded guilty to four counts including reckless discharge of a firearm, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and two breaches of probation relating to an incident that began at a Cherryville home on May 11, 2013. Court heard how, on that morning, Blaeser and his girlfriend – the mother of his two-month-old child – had an argument and Blaeser left to go to a friend’s place. It was there, the court heard, that Blaeser broke one of his conditions from a prior charge of not consuming alcohol by drinking beer. He returned home early in the evening and continued the argument with his girlfriend, who then called a friend to come pick her up at a Cherryville residence. The friend did, and brought her two-yearold daughter with her. When the friend arrived, Blaeser had come out of the house with a shotgun. There is some disagreement, the court heard, as to whether or not Blaeser pointed a shotgun at the two women. He did, however, shoot out a tire on the friend’s vehicle. There is also disagreement as to whether the friend’s two-year-old was out of the vehicle when Blaeser pulled the trigger. The friend managed to drive her vehicle with the shot-out tire to a home and call police, who ended up in a pursuit of Blaeser. The chase was called off after Blaeser turned onto
a steep rural road. It was on that road that his vehicle ran out of gas. Blaeser was arrested peacefully at the vehicle the following morning. A shotgun was recovered at the scene. Crown and defence asked for the mandatory statutory minimum sentence of four years for the reckless discharge of a firearms charge, and Wyatt agreed, taking into account Blaeser’s lack of a serious criminal record, a victim impact statement from Blaeser’s thengirlfriend, letters of support for his character and for showing genuine remorse for his actions. “He did plead guilty, he has his family supporting him, he has a minimal criminal record (one assault case for which he was on probation at the time of the Cherryville incident and an excessive speeding charge), the opportunity for him to work seems likely upon his release and he expressed remorse,” said Wyatt in passing her sentence. “However, this was a violent incident. It was done in the presence of young children, there was a police chase and there were breaches of his conditions.” Wyatt agreed to the joint submission to give Blaeser a 1.5-to-1 credit for time already served. He’s been in custody since his arrest the next day, May 12, 2013, for a total of 375 days. Blaeser was given credit for 563 days already served so his new jail time equates to 897 days, or just shy of 30 months. Wyatt gave Blaeser three months, to be served concurrent with the first charge, for the dangerous driving charge along with an 18-month driving prohibition upon his release from jail. He was given 30 days concurrent for each of the breach charges, a lifetime firearms prohibition and the gun used in the incident has been ordered forfeited. Blaeser must also provide a DNA sample. He declined to say anything to the court when offered a chance by Wyatt.

The time line for delivery is June 1 and in the meantime recyclables are still being sorted. “We take the recycling material to Cascades in Kelowna and they are able to sort single stream and two stream material so all the material gets looked after,” said Walsh. So far the collection has gone well, but issues always arise anytime you change collection systems, he said. “More questions than concerns.” The end result will be fewer items in the landfill. “We expect to see a significant increase in volume when you switch to a reusable blue box system, from a blue bag system, so we are anticipating more tonnes recycled.”

Big support from foundation Morning Star Staff
The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan is delivering support in the hundreds of thousands. The foundation has announced that the 2014 grants distribution to the community will total just over $400,000. Discretionary funds will be distributed at a cheque presentation ceremony at the Performing Arts Centre, June 4 at 11 a.m. The public is welcome to attend. The funds represent earnings on the over 150 endowments managed by the foundation as well as the Smart Michael Tindall and Caring Community Fund. “We’re always proud to be able to assist in the distribution of these funds,” said Foundation President Michael Tindall. “Approximately 80 per cent of the grant money each year is directed funds, where the donor has specified the recipients, with the balance being discretionary funds where the donor has allowed the foundation to choose the recipients. “We’re working hard to increase the discretionary funds,” said Tindall, “because that’s where our board and grants committee can react to immediate community needs.” Fund Development Officer Leanne Hammond explained that the foundation has created the
Smart and Caring Community Fund in concert with other community foundations across Canada to help increase the discretionary funds available each year. “We’re starting to see donations coming in to the foundation specifically for the Smart and Caring fund,” said Hammond, “a trend we certainly wish to encourage.” Donations can be made to this fund by visiting www.cfno.org and clicking on the red ‘Donate Now’ button on the home page. Charitable tax receipts are also issued. “No amount is too small,” said Hammond. The Foundation’s Vital Signs survey, conducted every two years, helps identify key areas of need within the community and is used by the foundation grants committee when reviewing applicants. “Vital Signs certainly helps our committee as it reviews applications,” said Brad Marsh, director and grants committee chair. This year the committee awarded 21 grants out of a total of 38 applications, with total discretionary grants equaling $87,300 of the $317,000 requested. “The foundation service area is roughly the size of the regional district,” said Marsh, “and as a board we recognize the sizeable and diversified needs throughout that area. It’s this demonstrated community need that’s really driving the foundation to build the Smart and Caring Community Fund. And it’s certainly become an important focus of our activities.”
Village boosts fee for pot licence Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Those looking to legally grow pot in Lumby will pay a premium. Since legal medical marijuana production facilities are a new venture, the village is ensuring it doesn’t incur any extra costs. Therefore an annual business licence fee of $1,500 has been set. “We almost doubled the cost of what Vernon’s is for medical marijuana facilities,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “It takes into consideration some of the things that need to be done in order to facilitate that type of business licence.” Blue box blues Lumby residents will be packing up even more recyclables and driving them to Vernon themselves if they want to keep them from the landfill. The new recycling program will see Emterra Environmental trucks making pick ups around the village Tuesday. But there are concerns about the new program, particularly since plastic bags and film can no longer be recycled. “Now we’re looking at using fuel to drive in something that used to be picked up before,” said Mayor Kevin Acton, as there is no depot in Lumby. “Somebody up there really needs to figure out how to take everything that can be recycled.” The reason plastic isn’t accepted is it is difficult to separate, according to Multi-Material B.C.
(the program provider). “Meaning that less of the plastic film, and less of the other material, is recycled,” states MMBC on its website. Acton understands that and can see why this new system is being put into place. He also points out that MMBC has very strict regulation on how much contamination there can be and there are even fines. But the new program just doesn’t make sense, said Acton. “It didn’t come together the way the province thought it would I don’t think.”

P
ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.
success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

And the winner is...
ports can be cruel when it comes to the fine line between winning and losing. But then that’s what makes it so darn entertaining when there’s so much at stake. And it seems like there’s been so many examples of heartbreak and oh-so-close scenarios lately that it gives one pause for thought, or at least a reason to muse a little, so to speak. One close to home is the fantastic finish at the RBC Cup Canadian Jr. A hockey championship at our very own Kal Tire Place. With less than three minutes left on the clock and a 3-1 lead over the Yorkton Terriers, it looked Glenn Mitchell like the Carleton Place Canadians were going to win their first national championship. But in the same time as it takes for a successful bull ride at the Falkland Stampede, that would be eight seconds, the Terriers scored twice and went on to win in OT for their very first national title. Although I was happy for the Terriers, who once were 0-2 in the round-robin and faced elimination in game three only to win four games in a row (apparently they thrive under pressure), I couldn’t help but feel the pain for the Canadians who only minutes earlier had the trophy within their grasp, not to mention a couple of good chances to win it in OT that just didn’t quite materialize. The Canadians, looking understandably shellshocked, then had to watch the Terriers celebrate what could of, would of, should of ...been theirs if only the puck had bounced ... However I’ll say this about the squad from Ottawa valley – to a player, and the coaching staff as well – they heartily congratulated the winners with handshakes, often hugs as well, mere minutes after an exceedingly painful loss. It showed class and revealed to the crowd that the players on
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
the ice were all winners in most of the categories that really count. Well done. However Yorkton gets gold and Carleton gets silver and that’s how history will record it for ever and ever, amen. And the difference is a post here or a bounce there or a ... tough stuff. But thrilling too. Even the NHL playoff game between the New York Rangers and the Montreal Canadiens Thursday night provided some fascinating fodder in the department of separating the winners and losers. The Rangers only force it to overtime when the puck goes off a Montreal defenceman’s skate with mere seconds left on the clock to tie it up at 2-2. Fans of the team fear the worst. And then the Habs win because it goes off a player’s face and into the net in OT to give the Canadiens some life in the series, down two games to one. If the Rangers had somehow got the same break, they would have been up three games to none and the series would have been all but done. Again, the difference between winning and losing is as fine as a skate blade, or as random as the nose on someone’s face. And then there was Mike Weir coming out of nowhere after all these years to make a run at winning a PGA tournament last weekend. He eventually came up two strokes short but is likely thinking about that birdie putt on 17 that just missed and would have put pressure on the eventual first-time winner coming home. Yet, a guy who hasn’t won in recent memory and is getting on in PGA years earns a runner-up cheque, and he’s a loser? Hardly. That’s the thing, just getting to the RBC final game is a huge accomplishment and against all odds, as is getting to the Stanley Cup semifinals, and being on the leader board on a Sunday in a PGA tournament (not to mention being a Masters champion and the pride of Canada), so these people are all winners on so many levels. But thanks to the nature of sports it may take them a little time and perspective until they feel that way again.
Here’s something to think about as the summer holiday — and summer holiday driving — season gets underway. While incidents of drinking and driving are on the decline, thanks in part to the much tougher provincial rules about blood alcohol limits, a recent crash in Aldergrove illustrates that some people simply don’t care. A 32-year-old Abbotsford man was seen by witnesses exiting his smashed vehicle, grabbing a case of beer and heading to a nearby fast food restaurant — despite having broken bones in his leg. The man had apparently been driving at a high speed. Witnesses report him passing on the right at a high rate of speed as he was getting off the freeway at 264 Street. Shortly afterwards, he smashed into a minivan driven by a woman and carrying five small children. Thankfully, no one in the van was seriously injured. The RCMP is now reporting that the man has no valid driver’s licence and the car he was driving was not insured. The case is sounding more and more like another one in Aldergrove that ended in tragedy. Carly Regan, a 13-year-old girl, was struck and killed by Paul Wettlaufer, a drunk driver who also did not have a licence. He did not come forward but hid his vehicle. It was found, he was arrested and eventually jailed. While such cases are, thankfully, rare, there are some people who have serious drinking problems and should never be driving. Often, they have lost their licences but continue to drive. All the laws in the world won’t stop them. All that the rest of us can do is be vigilant, report to police anything that looks like a problem situation and drive as cautiously as we can. Black Press

Give Civic Arena new lease on life
t's time Vernon. Let's start thinking outside of the box. This is my idea to start things off. Vernon needs a new sheet of ice. There will be a referendum to come this November. Why not renovate Civic Arena as follows: 1. Remove the roof (probably for free as the lumber in the trusses is very valuable). All clear wood that is in those trusses has been logged years ago. 2. Gut the inside. 3. Build a proper ice sheet with about 500 seats for minor hockey. 4. Erect a building on top of the ice rink to house the museum and art gallery. Before rejecting the idea out of hand, think about it: ■ The cement walls are about 12 to 15 feet thick, an ideal footing for a building. ■ All servicing is in place (ie. hydro, gas and water).
poor choices In response to "Cash Grab by Mr. Mark Levey" While I respect Mr. Levey's opinion in regards to seatbelt use I also consider it very selfish to say the least. It is people like him that ultimately bring laws into place to protect other people of their poor choices. I doubt that Mr. Levey has once considered the impact of him going through the windshield of his vehicle has on First Responders or perhaps the school bus full of children that happen by such an accident. Needless to say the associated costs that will be put on the rest of the taxpaying citizen, either directly or indirectly through such choices. I suggest Mr. Levey bring up his concerns with his MLA or appropriate governing body. In closing, First Responders do a tremendous job,they do not need the added stress that the above contributes to their lives. Thomas haslinger clean up In regards to garbage, garbage cans and the proper disposal of said garbage, it seems Vernon has a shortage of garbage cans. But that being said, people are also responsible for the disposal of their own garbage. Don't just drop your trash where you stand. Find an appropriate garbage can. Do we want to keep our town clean? It's our responsibility, no one else's. In certain places, you would get fined for littering.
■ Economy of scale for heat, cooling, sewer and water. ■ No land cost to acquire property for the arts or a new ice rink. ■ Demolition cost of old Civic Arena would be anywhere from $600,000 to $1 million (close to what the land value it is Maybe that should be in effect. What we need is volunteers willing to pick up the trash. I'll do it. How about you? Tourists to Vernon, I'm sure, would be more impressed and want to come back to a clean place. a. Melanson a response N. McGregor's letter regarding the review of Son of God by Taylor and Howe is so far off base as to be in left field. Firstly, the letter writer does not seem to realize that a movie reviewer comments primarily on the quality of the movie making, not the quality or significance of the movie subject. Many films have been made about Christ and Christianity, some good and some not so good. Son of God apparently fits into the latter category. Online professional movie critics generally seem to have given it less than average ratings. Just Google Son of God movie reviews and you will see what I mean. Secondly, the letter writer thinks that, "the obvious negative bias towards Christianity should not be given a voice in our North Okanagan community newspaper." That is a very scary comment. In this country, I believe we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion and, if we choose, freedom from religion. Even if a film or film reviewer did say something negative about Christianity, it could be and should be published.

Daytime parking for art gallery and museum, night parking for minor hockey (some conflicts may occur). ■ Art gallery and museum may be able to share a staff person (receptionist perFreedom of the press is another of the important freedoms we have.

Teachers appear to live in a world all their own, although I think it's primarily the radical BCTF who have the problem. They appear to have the attitude "we don't care about anyone or anything else, we want it our way." They've had that attitude for as long as I can remember. I think the majority of the non-radical, sensible teachers (the silent majority) just go along for the ride. In the end, hopefully the government will force them back to work.

Project is seniors helping seniors Morning Star Staff
Coldstream Meadows is happy to have a number of skilled residents who recently got together to start a knitting group to make clothing to donate to Mission without Borders. Missions without Borders is a Christian organization that serves children, families and elderly people suffering poverty and oppression. The organization has been helping people in need for more than 50 years. Missions without Borders works across Europe’s six poorest countries and aims to move children, families and seniors towards self-sufficiency. With the help and support of sponsors, Missions without Borders plans to help more than 20,000 children, 9,000 families and more than 150,000 elderly people this year. Peggy Dietz, a longtime sponsor of Mission without Borders, and her friend Heather Hackman led the start-up of this group who call themselves Chicks with Sticks. Dietz approached her mother, Betty Kemper, a resident of Coldstream Meadows, to join the group and recruit fellow residents to join. “At first a few of the residents were hesitant to join, they had already ‘been there and done that,’ but after learning that they would be donating what they made to the needy, residents changed their minds,” said Jamie Stakkestad, marketing coordinator at Coldstream Meadows. “Knowing they could help someone gave the knitting a purpose and allowed the residents to feel appreciated and excited about their work. “In five short months, the ladies of this group created a number of beautiful and functional articles of clothing to send away to Missions without Borders. The items they created will not only help benefit the elderly, but also children and

Dietz is an avid knitter and has read many studies about the health benefits — both physical and mental — that knitting can provide. Repetitive acts, such as knitting and crocheting, have been known to help prevent and manage stress as well as pain and depression which in turn helps strengthen the body’s immune system. The action of knitting has also been found to change brain chemistry by decreasing stress hormones and increasing feel-good serotonin and dopamine. “So there you have it, pick up some

Water district issue boils up roger knox Morning Star Staff
Nitrates has at least one Spallumcheen resident questioning the potability of water in the Steele Springs Water District. In a letter to the township, Terry Paull alerted mayor and council that the 52 households served by the almost 100-year-old water district can’t drink the water. “It is contaminated with nitrates,” wrote Paull, who said in April 2013, the level of nitrates began to increase in the Steele Springs drinking water. In March of this year, said Paull, the nitrate reading reached 10.10 parts per million (PPM) which resulted in the ministry of health advising the water district to not drink the water. Anything over 10.10 PPM, said Paull, is, according to the ministry of health, “not fit for human consumption.” Paull gives credit to the water district’s board of directors for “working hard to maintain the quality and improve the delivery of water to uses of Steele Springs.” Paull believes the increase in nitrates is related to a large dairy farm and how its operation is impacting the aquifer that supplies the drinking water to Steele Springs. Deputy corporate officer Cindy Graves told council that the farm industry review board may assign an investigator so that if any farm operators are not following proper farm regulations, they work with the farmer to figure out a way for them to follow the rules. Coun. Todd York said council has heard this story before, and feels there’s a gap between provincial ministries of health and agriculture in dealing with matters like Steele Springs. “I think a letter needs to be sent to the ministries questioning the apparent lack of cross-ministerial conversation and authority pertaining to the conflicting mandates of their respective departments,” said York in making a motion to write both ministries. York said the conflict is that the ministry of health and the province upholds the provincial drinking water protection act and provincial drinking water regulation. But when drinking water is affected by agricultural practices, particularly outside the best farm practices as dictated by the ministry of agriculture, York said there is participation by the health ministry to investigate or resolve the problem. “That flies in the face of the province’s drinking water protection act,” said York, who drew unanimous support for his motion. Coun. Rachael Ganson was absent from the meeting.

Peter Haines tees off in the Spallumcheen Senior Mens Open Thursday morning.
They went three extra holes Thursday to determine the Spallumcheen Senior Men’s Open Golf Tournament champion. Greg Jackson of Rivershore in Kamloops and Gary Ritchie of Salmon Arm each shot 71 with Jackson winning the playoff. There was a field of 120 from all over the Okanagan Valley, Alberta and Washington State. David Palmer of Kelowna was the overall low net winner at 63.

The Kamloops Venom ambushed the Armstrong Shamrocks 14-8 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Friday night at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm. Shamrocks’ assistant coach Jeff Hanley hopes for more games in Salmon Arm. “We definitely will be back. The people treated us great and we had a bunch of fans come out,” said Hanley. “It was pretty cool to see the turnout. It’s nice to know that people still like to come out to games,” said Shamrocks’ assistant captain Drew Hassard. Hassard was a member of the Shuswap Midget Outlaws along with current Rock Keith Minnis. The Rocks called up four players from the Outlaws Friday night. The Shamrocks are trying to develop a pipeline for minor league players in Salmon Arm. “We don’t have as many minor league guys coming to us from that area as we used to. Hopefully these games will start to build that up,” said Hanley. Armstrong got off to a great start in their home away from home. The nine-day layoff seemed to rejuvenate the Rocks’, as they led the first-place Venom 6-5 after two periods. “We came out really great. We controlled the ball a lot, our possession time was good,” said Hanley. Sam Hanley sniped four goals for the Rocks (3-0-4), while Logan Mostat, Joel Castle, Austin Williamson and Minnis added singles. The Venom (6-0-0) were led by Brady Jorgensen’s five goals and two assists. He recorded three in Kamloops’s nine-goal third period. “We fell apart halfway through the second. Our legs gave out and we didn’t win any battles to loose balls or grab any rebounds. Kamloops was able to take advantage of that,” said Logan. The Venom edged the Shamrocks 8-7 on April 25 in Armstrong. “I think we played better last night than we did the first time we played them. Despite the score, the game was a lot tighter,” said Hanley. “It was good to see that we are competitive with the top team in the league.” The Shamrocks’ leading scorer Cam Nelson, was held in check most of the night. The captain was quiet with two assists, while Mostat and Brody Berg also added a pair of helpers. The Shamrocks will battle the Vernon Tigers (4-0-1) in the Tigers’ home opener next Saturday at Kal Tire Place. The Tigers played the Venom Saturday night at Memorial Arena in Kamloops.

The Nitros are 2-3 and the Dozers 1-5.
Sox sting Hornets 12-10 Morning Star Staff
The Fraternity of Eagles Black Sox edged the Green Hornets 12-10 in Mosquito baseball Thursday night at Lakeview Park. Damon Cover had a pair of big hits and a highlight-reel catch in centre field for the Black Sox, while catchers’ Olivia Poplawski, Nik Whinston and Braden Schmiegelt did a fabulous job reducing the Hornets’ running game. The Black Sox outlased Ironman Directional Drilling Green Hornets 12-10. Seth Maglio started on the Hornets’ mound, followed by Delaney Marchand closing the game. Erik Pastro stroked his first home run and Nation Bonneau smacked a triple. Coaches Chad Rachwalski and assistant Mark Pastro were impressed with entire team.

Buchanan rolls close to 450 TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff
The Rocket was one frame away from immortalization. With 100 buzzing spectators behind her clinging to every shot, Jessy (The Rocket) Buchanan prepared for the 10th frame like she does for every shot, staring darts at the pins she was about to impose her will on. Buchanan, 24, bowled a career-high 420, three balls from a perfect 450 game at the Interior bowling tournament at Falcon Lanes in Kamloops. She gets an all-expenses paid trip to the provincial 400 club playdowns this fall. “Once I got to six strikes I knew I was on,” said Buchanan. “I just kept going and tried to keep the same mind-set each frame.” The Rocket has been blowing up pins since she was four, and has never been a member of the exclusive 400 club. Her previous best was 385. Buchanan saved her best performance for the playoffs. She breezed through the Interiors. “I still don’t know how I did that. The lanes were terrible. When I bowl here, my ball goes straight, but there it had a mega-curve because of the lanes,” said Buchanan. The Rocket was perfect through nine frames. Her streak stopped when she knocked down the head pin in the 10th. When a pitcher in baseball is working on a perfect game, nobody on the team will do so much as glance at them. Nobody wants to be the one respon-

Apparently bowlers are a different breed. “My teammates (Suzanne Beugeling, Courtney Lutgen, Krista Koenig, Yvonne Walker and Kandice Massey) were great; we had a great vibe going on the bench. We were talking and joking around like normal and that really helped keep my mind off of the need to throw more
strikes.” You don’t have to watch Buchanan bowl to grasp the nickname, you just have to listen. Her ball screams down the lane at break-neck speed. She gets a kick out of the moniker. “It’s kind of stupid, but I like it. I just go out there and give ‘er.”
Sunterra ladies brush off Chick Kickers 3-1 Morning Star Staff
The OTC/Sunterra Custom Homes Sistas brushed back the Chick KickersOMG 3-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday at Marshall Field #2. Andy Zubot opened the scoring for the Sistas (4-1), from Deanna Baker and Lesley Williams. Dianne Neudorf sniped the winner from Zubot, and Miranda Dalhuisen added insurance, from Neudorf and Baker. The Chick Kickers dipped to 0-6.
Fisher seals is late
The Do-Itt Drywall Mud Sharks scored a last second goal to slip past the Centreline Attack 2-1 at Marshall #5. Shelby Fisher tied it for the Attack (0-6) with 10 minutes remaining. Shaylan Zecchel corralled a rebound with mere seconds left and banged home the winner. Hailey Noakes scored the first goal for the Mud Sharks (6-0). Sue Chadwick played excellent on defence and Megan
Mackus had great challenges down the field for Centreline.
Ross pockets winner for Stars
Rob Ross converted a gorgeous feed from John Mateijcka as the Silver Stars shaded the Kelowna Kickers 2-1 in Okanagan Valley Men’s 50+ Soccer League play Thursday night at Marshall Field #3. Mahmoud Abdel-Kader earlier connected on a penalty kick for the Stars (5-0-1). Ross took the Burger King Man of the Match. Vernon Kal Tire shut down Westside Selects 1-0 at Marshall #1 with Pete (The Heat) recording the clean sheet. Gary Dill scored on a header in the 23rd minute, finishing a sweet cross from the end line by Terry Lowe, who had taken a pass from Kenny Rath. Central midfielder Jim Sparrow ran a marathon and earned the Save-On-Foods Pharmacy Man of the Match. Outside defner Grant Badgero was highly aggressive on 50-50 balls and took honourable mention. The Tiremen are 3-2-1.
Lazar creates magic Memorial Cup history ED KLAJMAN For The Morning Star
LONDON, ONT. – Vernon’s Curtis Lazar made Memorial Cup history Friday night as the Edmonton Oil Kings edged the Val-d’Or Foreur 3-2. The Ottawa Senators’ first-round draft pick scored 2:42 into the third overtime in the semifinal at the Budweiser Centre, bringing to an end the longest game in the 95-year history of Memorial Cup. “It’s the first overtime goal I’ve ever scored in junior hockey,” said Lazar. “I still have to digest it. They took my stick. It’s going to the Hall of Fame and that’s pretty cool. We have something special from
this team every night and it was my turn tonight. I capitalized on the opportunity.” Edmonton takes on the Guelph Storm in today’s final (1 p.m. Sportsnet). Lazar, 19, explained how the biggest motivator he had in the overtime was to make amends for Val-d’Or’s last-minute tying goal by d-man Guillaume Gelinas. “It’s a big relief, especially because on that goal in the third period, that was my guy going out there and I wasn’t able to block it. I felt a little guilty for that,” said the six-foot, 200-pounder. With his conscience cleared, Lazar, who how has four points in four Memorial Cup games, said he’ll reflect back on this
game with fond memories forever. “It was pretty fun to be a part of,” he said. “You don’t want to make a mistake but you can’t play like that. You’d dump the puck and just sit there and catch your breath. There wasn’t a lot of forechecking. There were a bunch of 3-on-2s. That’s overtime hockey and you embrace it. Look, you could be sitting where I am right now,” he joked, while flashing his trademark beaming smile in referring to his lofty perch at a press conference podium reserved for only the head coaches at the tournament, with all the players having to stand in a row in a different area. Lazar is in his second Memorial Cup.

Mara resident joins board
Day Of Caring
Morning Star Staff
Photo submitted
Prospera Credit Union manager Darrell Oshiro and staff Jennifer Clark and Cindy Ouston work at the North Okanagan Child Care Centre as part of the United Way’s Day of Caring.
A North Okanagan resident has been named to the board of a B.C. financial institution. Quentin Bruns, of Mara, will serve as a director with First West Credit Union, the parent company of Valley First. Bruns was born and raised in Enderby and he studied agriculture at the University of Alberta before returning to the North Okanagan where he and his wife Daniela today produce certified organic milk from 85 cows. He has a long history of community involvement, serving as a hockey coach, soccer Quentin Bruns coach and a 4-H leader. He has also served as president of the North Okanagan Holstein Club, a board member of the B.C. Holstein Club and an executive member of the Kamloops-Okanagan Dairymen’s Association. More recently, Bruns served on the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District board and was vice-president of the Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society. In 2006, Bruns was elected to the board of the Enderby and District Credit Union. He served as board chairperson for two years, before guiding the credit union through its successful merger with First West Credit Union. Following the merger, he was appointed as a Valley First regional council advisor.
FortisBC seeks biogas supply innovators Morning Star Staff
FortisBC is seeking expressions of interest from potential biomethane suppliers for its renewable natural gas program. The call for applicants will help grow the province’s supply of this renewable and carbon neutral energy source. The company is seeking interest from suppliers for an additional supply of up to one petajoule, or enough natural gas to provide heat and hot water for approximately 10,000 homes annually. “Demand from our renewable natural gas customers has resulted in the need for further biogas supply in our system,” said Doug Stout, vice-president of energy solutions and external relations. “Our focus is to help put waste to good use by working with suppliers to develop this energy source for our customers.” Biogas is created when bacteria break

down organic waste from sources such as landfill sites, agriculture waste and wastewater from treatment facilities. It is captured, purified and then injected into FortisBC’s natural gas system for customers. FortisBC is seeking submissions from sewer treatment plants, landfills, farm operators and other agricultural businesses, food and beverage processing businesses and entrepreneurs who can facilitate the development of biogas production from organic material sources.
Stout says capturing and using biomethane, which is the purified natural gas derived from biogas, significantly reduces greenhouse gases over simply allowing it to vent directly into the atmosphere, as is traditionally done at waste sites. Upgrading this biogas to pipeline-quality biomethane provides the additional benefit of replacing traditionally sourced natural gas for FortisBC customers. Two projects are currently supplying biomethane to FortisBC’s system, with five
others under development or construction. Projects currently supplying biogas to FortisBC are Fraser Valley Biogas in Abbotsford and the Salmon Arm landfill. Kelowna’s Glenmore landfill is expected to begin supplying natural gas this year following the completion of construction. FortisBC has offered renewable natural gas to customers since 2011. Eligible residential and business customers have the option of designating a percentage of natural gas usage as renewable. FortisBC then injects an equivalent amount of renewable natural gas into its distribution system. The gas is also carbon neutral, which means it is exempt from B.C.’s carbon tax. Those interested in supplying biomethane can submit an expression of interest application by May 30 outlining their plans and associated costs for biogas collection and upgrading.

A Vernon company celebrating its 50th anniversary is also pleased to announce some new appointments. David Chambers, president of DCT Chambers Trucking Ltd., has announced John Huntley to vice president and Ryan Chambers to general manager. “These deserved appointments provide for stability, continuity and strategic planning,” said David. Huntley’s background, experience and track record provide for corporate direction for the existing operations and for managing growth. He joined DCT early in 1988. Ryan Chambers strengthened his first-hand knowledge gained from literally growing up in the business with a bachelor of commerce degree from the University of Victoria. He has managed the Glen Transport Division and acted as assistant general manager for the organization. “These position changes add to the leadership of the DCT Chambers Group of T:4” Companies,” said David.
Insurance can pay
aving life insurance coverage is a very important decision for you and your beneficiaries. But there are many life insurance products to choose from. Which is right for you? Which is the best fit for your personal situation, budget and longer-term financial, retirement and estate goals? It could be Participating Whole Life insurance (also known as Par Whole Life) if this profile looks like you: My tolerance for investment risk is low I want protection for my lifetime with guaranteed premiums, guaranteed cash values and a guaranteed basic death benefit that will be taxAndy Erickson free to my beneficiaries. I want an investment component included with my insurance coverage that provides the potential for taxdeferred growth, a level premium and for the policy to become paid up over a number of years. I don’t want the burden of the day-to-day management of the investment component of my life insurance policy. I want built-in tax-advantaged savings I can easily and quickly draw on if I need the funds for personal or business reasons (although I do recognize that any cash values I withdraw from the policy may be subject to tax). Participating life insurance combines life insurance with an investment component that also pays dividends. Here’s how participating whole life (Par) works: Your premiums go into an account, called the PAR account, along with the premiums paid by everyone else holding a participating policy with the life insurance company you choose. The premiums you pay and the policy coverages are cal-
3108 - 33rd Street, Vernon (next to OK Tire)
culated based on long-term assumptions for death claims, investment returns and other factors. Your premiums, the guaranteed cash surrender value schedule and the basic death benefit are based on these factors and are guaranteed for the life of your policy. Paid up additions, determined by the dividends you have paid, are eligible to earn future dividends – that’s what provides for the compounding of a Whole Life policy – a great feature, and it’s tax sheltered. The pooled premiums within the PAR account of all policyholders who own PAR policies are invested in a balanced portfolio managed by investment professionals. When a profit is earned on a participating policy, a significant portion is distributed to the policyholders in the form of a dividend that is credited to your policy and owned by you. Although dividends are not guaranteed, participating policies have historically earned profits and returned dividends. You can use the dividends to increase the policy’s cash value on a tax-advantaged basis, withdraw the cash from your policy or borrow against it, buy additional insurance without the need to prove your insurability, or to lower your out-of-pocket premiums. Participating insurance products offer choice and flexibility. Talk to your professional advisor to find out if your personal and financial profile is up to PAR.

Vernon-based Tolko Industries is praising plans to protect caribou in Manitoba. The Manitoba government and the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement working group, have created a new woodland caribou recovery strategy to ensure sustainability of this sensitive species that will include special consideration of its boreal habitat. “Tolko Industries is committed to responsible and environmentally sustainable management of our forest tenures, much of which includes caribou habitat, and we’ve been involved in the Canadian Boreal Forest
manitobamodelforest.net photo
A new strategy to protect woodland caribou in Manitoba has the support of Vernon’s Tolko Industries. Agreement right from the start,” said Bob Fleet, vice-president of forestry, environment and com-
munications for Tolko, which has operations in The Pas, Man. “We welcome this strategy and the opportunity to work with the province on caribou recovery.” The 10-year plan ensures management decisions will balance the demand for boreal forest resources with boreal caribou conservation. The CBFA, which was signed in May 2010, includes seven environmental organizations, the Forest Products Association of Canada, its 18-member companies, and Kruger Inc. It currently applies directly to more than 73 million hectares across the country.

Visitors enjoy some deck time on the ferry while heading to Victoria to explore the food offerings in the province’s capital city.
Foodie fun in the capital jane cassie Special To The Morning Star
B.C. — Succulent beef, doused with a demi glaze. Curry-infused chicken coupled with jasmine rice. Mushroom ravioli, topped with tomato-parmesan. My husband and I salivate over the amazing spread. “Gotta love this ferry food,” Brent says, when he also loads up at the salad bar. Whether you’re first-time B.C. Ferry cruisers or veterans like us, you can’t go wrong with the Pacific Buffet. The cost of this all-inclusive meal comes with bottomless cups of coffee — and is topped off with a roving view. The purpose of this Victoria visit is to have foodie fun while re-kindling the romance. The Magnolia Hotel and Spa certainly caters to this need! The contemporary gem snuggles into the city’s Old World charm and is just steps away from the bustling Inner Harbour. We’re ushered into an intimate lobby that’s decked out in exquisite décor and adjacent is the trendy Catalano Restaurant & Cicchetti Bar where homegrown ingredients are crafted into Mediterranean fare. In addition to offering intriguing lunch and dinner menus, this is where the complimentary breakfast is served each morning — whether we choose the buffet, that includes everything from fresh fruit to Belgian waffles, or a la carte made-toorder options — it’s a scrumptious way to start each day! Delicious perks extend to the 64 recently-rejuvenated rooms. We bump up the romance-meter by going for a spacious fireplace suite that flaunts a view. A fruit plate is waiting on arrival. Freshlybrewed coffee and The Globe is assured each morning. Dutch Bakery sweets are presented at turndown. We’d also discover serenity at The Spa Magnolia, where their Intelligent Nutrient products are as organic as they come. If only we had more time! But with Vicotria boasting the highest number of restaurants per capita in Canada, there’s a lot of sampling to squeeze in during our stay.
A culinary tour is wrapped up with a few sinful pleasures at Chocolat. On a three-hour culinary tour, Karma Brophy shows us the best way to do just that! This gastronome has been enriching the minds and palates of foodies for more than 20 years and, since 2010, she’s been the proud owner of Feast Concierge. While leading the way on foot, she integrates her knowledge of regional edibles with personal anecdotes. And like followers of the Pied Piper we’re lured by the tantalizing trail and her charming tales. The majority of our taste trek takes place in the Victoria Public Market, a 1,762 square-meter (18,000-square-foot) food-lover’s haunt that would satisfy the hungriest appetite. Farmers, fishers, butchers, bakers — all work symbiotically under one roof to showcase their local bounty. Our first stop is The French Oven Bakery, where owner Sandra Castro churns fresh, regional ingredients into favourites from France: buttery croissants, decadent pain au chocolat, savoury bri-
oche — yum! It’s not surprising to hear that her husband and solo baker, Nick, was born, raised and trained in Lyon. Next door, the epicurean secrets come all the way from the Marche region of Italy. Olive the Senses is family-owned and operated by Steve and Emily Lycopolus and here we have a choice of 60-plus virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars to sample. “It’s like trying a fine wine,” Brophy says, while swigging back a spicy Chilean blend. We follow her lead, swishing and sniffing a few of the heady elixirs. The Italian-inspired rotisserie, Roast, is next on our edible sojourn. Proprietor and accomplished chef George Szasz, who works closely with local producers, dishes us up marvelous meatballs and porchetta. “We even season some of our selections with sea salts from Vancouver Island Spice Factory,” he explains. “It’s a delicious winwin partnership.” The business Szasz is referring to is just two doors down. Spanish paprika, banana pepper, Mandarin orange and lime — these unrefined sea salts that are harvested from Vancouver Island waters stack up next to an array of spices and edible seeds. I look forward to trying out the potpourri of treasures that have been plunked into my goodie bag. But for now, this sauntering smorgasbord continues. Up to Fort Street we rove, nipping, sipping, savoring — Spanish-style cured meats at Chorizo & Co, smoked wild salmon at the Hook and finally, the grand finale — a generous selection of handcrafted unique sweets at Chocolat, a family-run business that’s been satisfying chocaholics for more than 25 years. “How ‘bout a little more sampling,” Brophy suggests after we polish off these sinful pleasures. “I offer an even more indulgent tour of Oak Bay.” Although we’re familiar with this quaint seaside village that has an eclectic array of eateries, and these tours are a fabulous way to experience the flavours of our capital, we still need to make room for one more spread. And that’s at the Pacific Buffet as we cruise back home. Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Good signs for Enderby Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Signs of an improved economy are under construction in Enderby. Along with the city’s new animated sign moving ahead, a couple of development permits point to a boost in business. “Things are looking up here,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. A new industrial business is moving into town. Vanko Services will be sprucing up the former North Valley Frameworks buildings on Bass Avenue. “That bodes well for the community because it’s occupied and they’re going to spruce things up,” said Cyr of the buildings which have only been deteriorating as they remained vacant. There are also plans for construction on a vacant lot at 308 George Street. A two-storey commercial building could soon occupy the lot, and it will be home to retail/office space on the first floor and a dwelling upstairs. “It’s going to add to the appearance of our thoroughfare,” said Cyr of the application, which proposes to keep the existing triplex on site. Enderby is also eager to see an animated sign erected at the corner of George Street (Highway 97) and Mill Avenue. “That’s a really positive thing, it shows that we’re moving forward now,” said Cyr. “We’re hoping to have it up and running in the next few weeks.” The $20,000, double-sided sign will allow the city to promote local events, something Cyr wishes they had prior to the Gold Panning Championships over the long weekend. The sign also allows city staff to update events wirelessly from city hall. Enderby is also eyeing an outdoor fitness centre, and is pursuing grants to help purchase the equipment – just another positive sign for the community, said Cyr.
Centre offers tours Morning Star Staff
Kids are being offered an education in nature during Thursday’s teachers strike. “Allan Brook Nature Centre is offering guided grassland tours for kids during the teachers’ strike Thursday,” said Julie Melanson with the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. Tour times will be at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and are one hour and a half in length. Activities will include exploration of pond life and grassland habitat.

The Whole Earth & Sea Difference The Whole Earth & Sea difference starts with the best raw materials – high-potency foods packed with essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and hundreds of antioxidants, enzymes, and phytonutrients. Most of these nutrient-dense plants are grown on our own Natural Factors Farms™ where we’ve been harvesting 100% organic crops from our own nonGMO seeds for almost a quarter century. It takes strong roots to flourish.
The Farm Fresh Factors™ Story.
Maintaining Quality Is A Gentle Process
Locally Grown!
Farm Fresh Factors is a combination of organic active vegetables, organic cruciferous vegetables, organic fruits, organic herbals, and organic sea vegetables. The Farm Fresh Factors process starts with these fresh, raw, nutrientdense plants then, using our proprietary EnviroSimplex® technology, yields a concentrated biomass of bioenergetic vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients. EnviroSimplex® intensifies each 100 grams of living, whole food goodness – concentrating it into a 300-milligram, enzymatically vibrant biomass. This increases the potency of living food over 300 times!
Germinating New Ideas In Nutrition. Our goal is simple. We want to give health-minded people raw plant nutrition packed into the next generation of whole food supplements. The Whole Earth & Sea difference is tangible. Bioenhanced, broad-spectrum phytonutrient supplements are clearly the way of the future. And our formulas go far beyond any other product promoted as a whole food formula today.
We Begin With The Healthiest Raw Materials The wholesome plants that sustain our lives each start with a simple seed. And when plants are nourished only by natural nutrients they return the same to us. Natural Factors Farms are certified 100% organic and pesticide-free. Our crops are fertilized only with compost and nitrogenrich sea plants and meticulously cared for by hand. The plants are then harvested at their peak and raw processed immediately at our own facilities.
Traditional methods of food preservation can destroy a plant’s natural nutrients and healing power. Processing can expose sensitive raw materials to unnatural levels of heat, light, and oxygen, which can reduce nutrient content. By contrast, our proprietary EnviroSimplex® method protects delicate fruits, vegetables, and herbs from damage that can occur with old processing techniques. The watchword that we use for processing is: «Gentle.»
EnviroSimplex – Preserving the Life Force of Whole Food ®
EnviroSimplex® deploys gentle agitation and gentle heat under high vacuum to extract moisture, preserve the active ingredients, shorten drying times and protect sensitive phytonutrients. We ensure the processing temperature always stays below 48°C (118°F). Plus, the process is free of solvents and ethanol, for safer whole food concentrates. The EnviroSimplex® method liquefies and mixes all raw materials in a special chamber where the bio-activation process occurs, allowing enzymes, probiotics, and prebiotics to culture the ingredients.
We Use The Whole Plant. No Surprise. We use the whole plant or fruit, including the peel, stem, and seeds – all rich sources of antioxidants. Batch-bybatch processing ensures the minor ingredients are thoroughly dispersed. As a result, our concentrated nutrients are suitable for stand-alone supplements as well as components in our Whole Earth & Sea health-enhancing formulas. PURE FOOD

Students harvest connection Morning Star Staff
Warm-hearted and connected communities make for excellent places to reside. This is at the core of W.L. Seaton Rotary, a group of students, ages 13 to 18, who are involved in various community initiatives. Most recently, W.L. Seaton Rotary built a community garden,
which is being used by the Seaton foods program, while also being open to the public. Two Seaton alumni spearheaded this initiative. Ivy Strother and Nic Fournier, both postsecondary students, earned grants from the United Way, B.C. Hydro and from Andy Erickson Investors
Group to initiate the garden project. Riley Twyford, from Royale LePage, donated the land at 4002 32nd St. and Dave Hislop, assistant store manager at Vernon Home Building Centre, donated gardening equipment. On April 19, with the help of several volunteers, W.L. Seaton

Cycling campaign hits the streets diaper bags For parents who know luxurious style, practical function and great quality!
The City of Vernon’s fifth annual Bike to Work Week Campaign is ready to roll. The campaign kicks off today from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at Polson Park with a Community Bike Fest that will include an obstacle challenge as well as a bike parade led by Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky Rob Sawatzky. The event is supported by the City of Vernon, the Bike to Work Society, the Government of B.C., and local business sponsors and volunteers. “The new bike obstacle challenge will also feature Mayor Jim Garlick and

Councillor Maria Besso from Coldstream and members of the media,” said Sawatzky. “It will be a fun and unique way to create interest in the Bike to Work Campaign.” The Community Bike Fest will include bike safety education for families, a Community Policing Bike Rodeo and bike engraving. BrainTrust Canada will also be hosting a helmet check station. Additionally, there will be a bike decorating station, bike parade, face painting, entertainment by the Mark Rose Big Band, and other community-sponsored activities. Two other events planned for Bike to Work Week are the midweek celebration at Sun Country Cycle (102-1340 Kalamalka Lake Road) on Wednesday from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m., and the wrap-up barbecue
at Spirit Square (30th Street and 32nd Avenue) on Friday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. “Cycling is a healthy alternative to get to school and work,” said Pam Moore, an environmental health officer and a member of the City’s Transportation Committee. “Most Vernon residents have a fiveto-15-minute bike ride to school or to downtown depending on their location, and about 20-30 minutes from Okanagan Landing. With rising rates of chronic disease and obesity, cycling and walking to school and work is an ideal way to get some exercise and improve fitness levels.” For more information on North Okanagan Bike to Work activities, or to register a team, visit www.biketowork.ca/ north-okanagan.

Rodeo rounds up scooters Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon community policing office, in partnership with the RCMP, Schubert Centre and Southward Medical Supplies, will be hosting a Scooter Rodeo on Thursday, June 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. This course is free of charge for individuals or families that already have a scooter or are considering a scooter purchase in the near future. “Scooters are a great way to stay socially active if you are having mobility challenges,” said Vernon community policing coordinator Rachael Zubick. “However, like anything else, it is important to know how to be safe and keep others safe while you are using the scooter.” Participants will learn about scooter safety, the rules of the road and basic maintenance, as well as get a chance to test their expertise on the practical skills course. “The scooter safety course is fun way to make sure getting around town is as safe as possible for scooter owners,” said Zubick. For further information or to register call the community policing office at 250-550-7840.

and from Pleasant Valley Secondary in Armstrong, Sheridan Abel, Kendra Bell and Danielle Trottier (cosmetology) and Ashleigh Ringdal (dairy production). There were 501 SSA scholarships handed out in the province with five per cent of the winners coming from the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District. The SSA program is a partnership between Industry Training Authority (ITA) and the B.C. Ministry of Education. The program lets students begin the work-based training component of an apprenticeship program while still in high school. Students ‘earn while they learn,’ getting dual credits toward both their high school diploma and apprenticeship on-thejob training. SSA provides a smoother transition from school to work and a quicker route to trade certification and a paycheque. The apprentices are on the job with a sponsor employer as a registered youth apprentice. SSA students complete up to 480 hours of work experience that counts toward their apprenticeship and 16 graduation credits. To be eligible for SSA, students must be attending high school and under the age of 20 at program completion and finish the program within three months after graduation. Youth apprentices in this program must, like other apprentices, start by getting a job. This means they must find an employer who will hire them as an apprentice and commit to their training as a sponsor.

Raves for X Block
Cara Brady
Morning Star Staff
The students at Len Wood Middle School are eager to take part in the award-winning program that allows them to follow their individual interests in classes they design with teachers. The X Block took first place among schools across Canada for the Canadian Education Association Ken Spencer Award recognizing school programs for excellence in education. The students, in Grades 6 to 8, can choose three subjects, one each term which take place twice a week with all grades together in extended afternoon classes. The courses were designed to use teacher expertise and student interest. Students and teachers set goals at the beginning of each course and do assessments together at the end. Logan Shillington, Grade 7, has taken karate, rugby and comic book design. “It’s great because you get to pick and try things you might not get a chance to do. I’m keeping up the comic book design on my own and making up my own comic book and I’m going to keep up the rugby,” he said. There are 301 students taking part in the X Block this school year. “At first I couldn’t decide what to try, there was so much choice. I really like the board game design, it’s the best. Our teacher is really
awesome,” said Emma Davies, who with Kate Hanson, also in Grade 6, designed a game, Tropical Treasure Island, which can be played at various levels from pre-school to adult. “I really like the time to have the freedom to choose and my family likes playing the game we made,” said Kate. Teacher Gregg Nicholson teaches special PE and board game design. “The kids are amazing, they use so many skills to put their games together and they produce high quality work. They love playing each other’s games. We do that at the end of term,” he said. Teacher Kathy Severson is pleased to be able to share her personal interests with students. Last term she taught karate and this term she’s teaching sewing. “The students tell us what they want to learn and we are able to provide the skills they need. If it’s an interest for them now, it’s likely to be an interest in the future. It’s a chance to try things and see what they like and want to follow up on.” The Spanish classroom is full of colourful pinatas under construction and plans to go to eat Mexican food at Azteca in Vernon. “It so great for the school to have this advantage for us. I don’t think I would learn Spanish without it,” said Grade 6 student Jackie Beauregard.

Grade 6 students Kate Hanson (left) and Emma Davies work on the board game they invented in the X Block program at Len Wood Middle School in Armstrong. Matthew Dolinar, Grade 8, said he is also enjoying the class and the other subjects he has taken in X Block — PE and cooking. “You can explore a lot of things and it has helped me with choosing my high school courses.” In the cooking class, Laureen Klaila, Grade 8, and her classmates are enjoying the fruit salad and cinnamon tortilla chips they made. “The company is great and we try different things each time. The students bring the recipes. It’s a great experience and I am cooking for my family now,” she said. X Block started two years ago as a way to get students more engaged in learning by providing subjects they were really interested in but which might be outside of the regular school curriculum. “We asked the students what they were interested in and looked at teacher skills,” said
principal Glen Overgaard. “We have a talented staff. We found we could offer band, art design, leadership, outdoor pursuits, photography, technical projects, web page skills and more. If students want to work on an individual project teachers will work with them. “The teachers put in extra work to design the courses, which are in line with the new Ministry of Education curriculum and coordinate with other courses. The (North Okanagan Shuswap School District) school board has been supportive and encouraging and has provided some of the funding.” Schools across Canada submitted projects for the Ken Spencer Award which honours Canadian educators for innovation in teaching and learning. The award was presented Tuesday and the $7,000 for first place will go towards funding to continue the X Block program.

Local connections for Rwanda Shirley MalniS
Special to The Morning Star
Okanagan residents will have a chance to make a difference in the lives of children half a world away when Wellspring Foundation for Education comes to Vernon. Kirsten Mucyo, program director for Wellspring in Rwanda, will be in town May 28 for a dessert evening presentation, 7 p.m. at Vernon Alliance Church Hall, 2601-43rd Ave. Those attending will get a look at schooling in the heart of Rwanda and hear of the efforts being made to change the country through the education of its youth. It was 20 years ago Rwanda suffered through a horrendous genocide with hundreds of thousands of people being slaughtered in an ethnic rage that lasted for months. While scars from those dark times remain, Rwanda is now a much different country and Wellspring is dedicated to doing what it can to educate future leaders that will guide the African nation in the coming years. Vernon residents Sherrie Mann, Sharon Sakakibara, Barb Elgin and Shirley and Gerry Malnis have witnessed firsthand the powerful impact Wellspring is having on the lives of countless children. They spent two weeks in Kigali working with the faith-based organization and with the ever-smiling children of the nation’s largest city. Wellspring operates a program called Ignite 48 and for $55 a month, people can literally change the lives of Rwandan youths by sponsoring a classroom, supporting a program that shows teachers how to teach and by opening up doors to education some children do not have access to. Mann said the schools are all similar with open classrooms, long tables for desks and up to 60 children per class. All struggle with limited resources. “They go to school and then they go home and work in the fields or carry water,” said Mann, adding the students she met ranged from Kindergarten to Grade 6. While it is not uncommon for North

American youths to balk and complain about having to go to school, the Rwanda youths seem eager to get an education, appreciating the privilege of attending class. “The most common thing we saw was huge smiles on their faces. That is largely due to Ignite 48. One of the students told us how different things are now, how much better they are. They want to go to school now,” said Mann. Ignite 48 also works with the teachers, to show them more effective and impacting ways to teach. Before Ignite 48, teaching conditions were Draconian and it was not uncommon for a teacher to use a strong stick to enforce discipline. But after training through Wellspring, they are more engaged with the students and the rising grades reflect the new method of teaching. “The teachers also teach other teachers,” said Mann. “They go back to the schools and help the teachers to teach. The teachers are so appreciative of learning a new way of doing things.” After returning from a Wellspring edu-
cational session, one teacher got down on his knees and begged the forgiveness of the children for the way they had been treated. Elgin said Wellspring also helps Rwanda educators to use materials they can find locally and a financial donation here is magnified many times in Rwanda. After the formal portion of the trip Mann, Sakakibara and Elgin went on a trek to view the Mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park. “Seeing the gorillas was wonderful,” said Sakakibara, “but was not the highlight of my trip.Being able to interact with students and the amazing Rwandan Wellspring staff was the real treat. Before I was a supporter, now I feel more like a partner in what is being accomplished there.” To RSVP for the Dessert Evening, contact shirley@thewellspringfoundation.org or call 250-542-0398. For more information on Wellspring, go to www.thewellspringfoundation.org (North American site) or wellspringrwanda.org (Rwandan site). Shirley Malnis is partner engagement coordinator for The Wellspsring Foundation for Education.

Just Ask Teresa … Your Cosmetician
Have you noticed in the magazines and on TV that eyebrows are being “played up”. In some instances they are very exaggerated. It is true that your brows frame and emphasize your eyes thus enhancing your face. If your brows are thinning it is even more important to use a brow pencil or brow powder. Gone are the days of drawing a line. It is a lot more natural looking to feather along the brow bone thickening even sparse brows with a pencil or powder and using a brush. Be sure to use a suitable colour that matches but having your brows a bit darker than your hair is okay. If you have lost your brows you can use a brow stencil to create a brow then just fill it in. If your brows are going grey or you want something longer lasting you can purchase dye kits for brows and lashes. We carry brown or black. Also available are growth enhancers for the brow and lashes. This will help to thicken what you have naturally. If you are having a problem with dark shadows under your eyes, be sure to use a concealer that matches your skin. Do not use one that is too light as it will not conceal. If you have any questions about what to use on your brows or eyes, please stop by Nolan’s Pharmacy. I am there Monday to Friday and would be happy to help you!

Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society takes flight New non-profit music society opens its doors to members as well as visiting and local artists
Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
The music goes back to the days when people from around the world picked up instruments and sang to tell stories of who they were and where they came from. That music of the people would go on to be called folk, and has seen many incarnations since. Whether it be traditional, world, roots, revival, modern or nu folk, the music conjures images from an Appalachian dweller playing a dulcimer to Joni Mitchell standing on stage with her guitar in Toronto’s historic Yorkville neighborhood, to the now fiddle, mandolin and banjo plucking bands such as Mumford and Sons and Fleet Foxes. “For me it’s about music that I not only like, but it travels all over the map. It has a large genre list,” says Keith Whittingstall, a former radio guy from Alberta who moved to Vernon two years ago and now sits on the eight-person founding committee of the brand new Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society. With a mission to support musicians, songwriters and music lovers by providing a stage to share, celebrate and nurture original and traditional folk-roots music, the society is up and running and is hosting its first show with cowboy singer Tim Hus at the Army Navy Airforce Hall Saturday. Besides Whittingstall, Vernon has a few other former Albertans to thank for taking the idea of starting a folk music society and making it happen. Paul Tessier, a retired radio announcer who worked in Lethbridge and now hosts his own show, PT’s Roadhouse, online from his

He said ‘someday I am going to start a folk music society here.’ I said, ‘if you’re serious, I’m in,’” said Tessier, adding when he mentioned the idea to others, it started building momentum. “I heard pockets of people who wanted to the same thing,” added Whittingstall. “We met so many people and when we told them there was a possibility that a folk music society would start here, they said ‘I’m in,’” added Vernon musician Dave McBride,
who also sits on the committee. “There are so many people who want live music here.” It was after catching the sold-out performance by Manitoba roots artist Del Barber and Oh My Darling at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre in February, that Tessier knew they were on the right track. “I thought, this is our audience,” he said, “A lot of young people were there and they were into it.” With a mandate installed, the society’s next step has been to find a permanent venue for its events. “We are looking for a venue that would seat from 100 to 150 people, with a more
intimate theme. We are not adverse to doing some carpentry,” said Whittingstall. “This would be for both a dance band and for intimate solo performances from one to five on stage,” added McBride. Even without its own venue to start with, the society is busy booking both touring and local acts of varying genres to perform monthly shows. “They can run from Americana to Zydeco to blues to bluegrass,” said Tessier. “We have a huge talent pool right here in the Okanagan from Penticton to the north. We also want to capture artists coming through Western Canada as well as highlight local,” added Whittingstall. “We have contacts in Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary, and can find out whose playing through our network, and it’s a nice stop here between Calgary and Vancouver.” The first concert with Canadiana songwriter Hus, touted as the man to take up the spot Stompin’ Tom Connors left with his passing, is more in the country dance band vein, while the society’s next show will feature award-winning acoustic finger-style guitarist Don Alder, June 28 (location to be announced.) With its non-profit status now official, the society is also looking to build on its membership. Members will receive first notification to all events and concerts, early opportunities to purchase tickets, discounts to all concerts, as well as a seat to vote at the society’s annual general meeting. Hus, with opening act Vernon’s Steel Wound, takes the stage at the ANAF Hall, 2500 45th Ave., at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 31. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, the ANAF Club, by email at vfrmstickets@gmail.com or at the door. More information on the society can be found at www.vernonfolkroots.com.
Armstrong gets ready to celebrate the arts with free event Saturday Morning Star Staff
Get ready for an art-filled day in Armstrong. The Armstrong Spallumcheen Arts Council Society (SPARC) is hosting the inaugural Spring Celebration of the Arts, a free event that takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the old part of Armstrong, between the Armstrong Towne Square on Pleasant Valley Boulevard and Wood Avenue. “We are building community through creativity,” said SPARC chairperson Reg Kienast “It is a logical process to creativity and we want to share that.” The event will feature workshop areas and art activities for young people and families, including felting, scarecrow
making, clay creations and much more. “This is a chance for everyone to have a learning and artist experience,” said Kienast. “Working artists will be doing demonstrations. The idea behind it is the community of non-artists get to see and appreciate the skills and the tools and the creative process that happen behind the piece of finished art.” Some of the artists participating in the event include Vernon potter Gale Woodhouse, Coldstream weaver Eileen Nichol, blacksmith Mick Harms, felting with Cathy Stubington and Molly March, luthier Trevor Kronbauer, mixed media artist Debbie Merkel, ornamental blacksmith Doug Alcock, engraver Warren Smith and several others.
In addition, SPARC is welcoming participants to add their artistic touch to a donated piano that will be turned into an artistic piece for the garden or home. “Anyone can paint the piano, which will have flowerpots on top so it can be used as a garden sculpture,” said Kienast. “It will be auctioned off in a silent auction afterwards.” Young people will also be doing chalk art circles on the street, which anyone can partake in. The event also features music and a magic show at the Armstrong Towne Centre Mall throughout the day. All events are free, however, donations will be accepted to the Armstrong Food Bank, Kindale, and the Boys and Girls Club.

The tale is an amazing story of scandal and intrigue involving the hotel’s former conTaylor and Howe cierge, M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes). We say, “It’s strange, beautiful and funny.” TAYLOR: The story, summed up in the introductory paragraph, really doesn’t sound like much, but you needn’t worry, the story is inconsequential to what makes The Grand Budapest Hotel fun and interesting. Wes Anderson movies are always quirky and visually interesting, his latest is no exception. HOWE: After seeing the trailer for this for the past six-to-nine months I was excited to see this and I am very happy that the Vernon Towne Theatre has brought it to us. I thought it was a great film. The way Anderson gets you to feel and understand his characters so quickly will have you hooked into the storyline within the first

In most movies these days, I don’t really care about who’s sleeping with who, who’s plotting to kill who and who’s trying to get revenge. In The Grand Budapest Hotel it feels like you are watching a play on stage. It’s a dark beautiful backdrop, yet the quality actors with their little cameos light up the whole movie. Fantastic. TAYLOR: Well, the actors in it are quality, but their performances are very subtle. The story itself is almost non existent, not entirely dissimilar from your list of plots you could care less about. The success of this film was created by its director. What drew you in was the framing, colour, whimsical sets, snappy pacing and one liners. In short, all the things that make a Wes Anderson film unique. The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic and to a lesser extent The Darjeeling Limited (a more serious film, taking place on a train) all have that Anderson feel. It’s a thorough pack-

aging that, although perhaps under appreciated, is certainly accessible, even occasionally lampooned. Every single scene, shot and even frame is a rich universe steeped in perfectionism. This is a deep, artful movie, not something to be simply watched, but experienced. It’s also, not a comedy, despite being quite funny, it takes place in a very sad environment. HOWE: I agree, you could take any scene from it, put it in a frame and mount it on the wall, it’s shot that perfectly. The one liners, facial expressions and the sheer madness of the plot had me laughing more than a few times. If you are a fan of subtle humour, sometimes with a dark twist involved, The Grand Budapest Hotel could be right up your street and I would highly recommend not missing it. – Taylor gives The Grand Budapest Hotel 4.5 boxes out of 5. – Howe gives it 4.5 fancy cakes out of 5.
Theatres celebrate OZones Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre saw a successful week hosting the annual Okanagan Zone Drama Festival, which ended May 17 with the awards gala. Plays from community theatres spread around the zone, from Summerland to Kamloops, were staged every night of the festival, with Michael Armstrong adjudicating. Host theatre Powerhouse picked up the best performance by a newcomer award for Kelly Winston, who played the leading role of Chandebise/Poche in Georges Feydeau’s A Flea in Her Ear. The Powerhouse production also received the award for best costumes and an honourable mention for best set design. Kelowna’s new Fred Skeleton Theatre won best production for its presentation of Red, which will now go to compete amongst plays from zones around the province at Theatre BC’s Mainstage festival, taking place in Kamloops in July. Awards were also given in acting and technical categories, while runner-up production went to Theatre Kelowna’s Heroes. For full results, visit www.vernonmorningstar. com/entertainment.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist marcia beley
in australia, in February each year they have a ‘FebFast’. it’s a charity movement which challenges you to take a 28-day break from alcohol and raise funds for youth addiction. it’s a great idea to give up one thing in your life for a good cause. you don’t have to wait ‘til February to try it and the person to benefit from this fast would be you and your health and the charity of your choice. if you are over 65, getting a pneumonia shot is a good idea. This is especially important if you have a chronic illness. Those under 65 who have compromised immune systems or a chronic disease should also receive a pneumonia shot. Those who experience muscle pain from taking cholesterol-lowering ‘statin’ drugs may have an alternate therapy in the future. researchers are looking at creating antibodies that will circulate through the blood and lower the bad lDl cholesterol. Still in the trial phase but show much promise. The summer holiday season is fast approaching and it’s a good time to review the contents of your firstaid kit to keep in your car during your travels. The kit should contain things like a digital thermometer, assorted bandages and tape, medication to reduce pain and fever, some hydrocortisone cream for stings and bites, some skin antiseptic and antihistamines. Our pharmacy staff can help you pit together a first-aid kit and give advice on the age-appropriate medications to treat various symptoms.

Vernon O’Keefe Ranch Spring Clean-up Twenty Rotarians from the Vernon and Silver Star Rotary Clubs braved a rainy morning on April 26 to each put in five hours work at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch. April 26 was chosen by Rotary International as a day when Rotarians from around the world volunteered their time and skills to work on important and worthwhile community projects. Rotarians in Vernon volunteering at O’Keefe Ranch removed or pruned trees and shrubs, weeded and otherwise gardened, top dressed the lawns, cut grass and installed concrete slabs under a number of pieces of antique farm equipment. It was an extended morning of general spring clean-up. Glen Taylor, General Manager of the Ranch, expressed his gratitude to the Rotarians for coming out and helping prepare the ranch for its Mothers’ Day opening. A number of other deferred maintenance projects are still in need of volunteers and Taylor expressed his hope that a second Rotarians at Work session might be held later this spring. Rotarians Serve and the Rotary Club of Vernon will respond.
Rotarians have put much volunteer time in at O’Keefe Ranch. Southeast Asia declared polio free The World Health Organization certified on March 27, 2014 its 11-country Southeast Asia region has eradicated polio, a longawaited declaration given that five years ago India represented nearly half of all polio cases worldwide. The region’s last wild polio case was reported in West Bengal, India, on January 13, 2011. “This achievement is an important milestone for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative [GPEI],” said Rotary Foundation Trustee chair Dong Kurn Lee at the WHO’s South-East Asia Regional Certification Commission for Polio Eradication meeting in New Delhi, India, on March 27. “We have beaten polio in Southeast Asia, and now we must do the same in the rest of Asia and Africa.” The region includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, India, Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Timor-Leste. Its more than 1.8 billion people represent over 25 percent of the world’s population. Southeast Asia joins WHO’s Region of the Americas (1994), Western Pacific Region (2000), and European Region (2002) in eradicating polio, marking another vital step toward a polio-free world by 2018. Densely crowded cities, migrant populations, and poor sanitation posed daunting challenges to eliminating the disease from Southeast Asia. India PolioPlus Committee Chair Deepak Kapur called eradicating polio in his country “a monumental task, demanding an extraordinary effort by all levels of government and partners involved. Backed by more than 100,000 Rotarians across the country, we helped to ensure

Silver Star Rotary Tuesday, 6:45 am Village Green Hotel maximum support for everything from National Immunization Days (NIDs) to mop-up immunization rounds.” Also crucial were “the extensive efforts we made to build goodwill and acceptance of polio immunization in the Muslim community and among religious leaders,” said former Rotary Foundation Trustee Ashok Mahajan. Rotary clubs created additional support by conducting free health camps to meet basic needs such as measles immunization, free checkups, medicines, vitamin A supplements, and eyeglasses. In Sri Lanka, ceasefires during the country’s civil war were pivotal to carrying out NIDs in the 1990s. As a first step, Rotary leaders and UNICEF established contact with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. “Our war is not with the children,” replied the group’s leader, stating that if Rotary and UNICEF could persuade the government to stop the war for two days, they would be willing to lay down their arms too. Subsequent NIDs became known as Days of Tranquility. In Bangladesh, Rotary, WHO, and UNICEF boosted public awareness of the need to eradicate polio, motivating parents to have their children vaccinated during NIDs. In Nepal, Rotary, the national government, WHO, and UNICEF worked hand in hand to make the country polio free. Nepal held its first NIDs in 1996 and recorded its last indigenous wild polio case just four years later. More than 1,500 Rotary members will be celebrating India’s and the region’s achievement at the Polio Free Conclave in New Delhi March 29-30. The event also focused on strengthening the commitment of the GPEI partners to ending polio globally, including sharing lessons learned in India with other polio-infected countries. The GPEI’s challenge now is to eradicate polio in the three countries where the disease has never been stopped: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria. And recent outbreaks in the Middle East and Horn of Africa are stark reminders that polio anywhere is a threat everywhere. “It is India’s responsibility now to share our lessons and best practices with our colleagues in the countries still fighting polio in order to protect their children, and ours as well,” said former Rotary International President Rajendra Saboo. “We already are doing this, assisting in any way we can… India’s victory over polio and the certification of Southeast Asia occur at just the right moment to provide a resounding rallying cry for the final push needed to wipe polio from the face of the earth.”

Lobsterfest
On the evening of Friday, June 20 the Vernon Rotary Club will be hosting a Lobsterfest and dance open to the public as a new fund raiser for Rotary’s various projects. The event will take place at the Shubert Center and feature the popular local area dance band Transplant. Transplant has played in and around Vernon for the past number of years, and they are noted for playing danceable country and rock tunes from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Drummer Stewy Stuart is a local Rotarian, Gary Nichols plays lead guitar, Lloyd Pulliam is the rhythm guitarist and radio personality from Sorrento, and Ken Murdoch is the pianist. All four musicians sing, and the evening plans to be something that will repeat for years to come as a fun(d) raiser for the Vernon Rotary Club. The lobsters come from the Bay of Fundy, and will be flown in live for this event. While the average size of the lobsters is around 1½ lbs, there will be a draw for a 5 lb lobster (see below) and the winner will have to decide whether to cook it or turn it into a new pet! For more information or to purchase tickets for this great event, contact Greg Kalyniuk 250-308-4520, Brian Butt 250-260-1774, or Pam Owen 250-260-0008.

Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW TO HANDLE A WEAK TRUMP SUIT Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, a 16th-century French essayist and courtier, said, “He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.” That applies to some stage productions. If a playwright needs the actors to shout for effect, it is usually not wellwritten. A bridge player needs to be careful when his trump suit is weak. He must try to maintain command of the play. This deal highlights one common technique. West leads the diamond jack against four hearts. How should South continue after he takes the first trick with his queen?
South opens one no-trump, 15-17 points in the modern style. North, upgrading because he has two aces (which are worth nearer nine points than eight), uses Stayman, then invites game in hearts. South is in the middle of his range, but also upgrades because he has two aces and two kings. If trumps are 4-1, South is probably going down. But if they are 3-2, he seems to have only three losers: two hearts and one diamond. However, now count winners. There are six outside hearts, so declarer needs to take four trump tricks: the ace and three ruffs. With this distribution, though, if South immediately plays on clubs, East
overruffs the third round and the contract fails. The right line is to duck a round of trumps. Suppose East wins and returns a diamond. Declarer wins with his ace, plays a heart to dummy’s ace, and proceeds with the black-suit crossruff. West gets his trump winner whenever he likes.

Kristen Susanna
Magnusson June 26, 1990 - May 13, 2014
1944 ~ 2014
Kristi was born in Abbotsford, BC and moved to Vernon in 1997. She attended Kidston Elementary and Kalamalka Secondary, graduating in 2008. After high school, she pursued a degree in Biology at Okanagan College and then UVic. She wanted a career in health care - which suited her caring nature and true love of people. Kristi touched many lives with her bubbly personality and ever present smile. She was beautiful inside and out, and the epitome of love and kindness. Her positive attitude toward life was an inspiration to all who met her. Kristi had a sweet but spirited personality that helped her growing up with brothers and many boys in the neighbourhood with whom she could definitely hold her own, whether it was playing street hockey or soccer in the park. Kristi had many interests and talents, including: playing piano and guitar, singing, painting, books, photography, soccer, x-country skiing, hiking, camping, tea parties with girlfriends, and hanging out with family and friends. She loved performing and played guitar and sang at her high school graduation and played piano at CF fundraisers. Living with CF, Kristi went through so many difficult challenges that were beyond what should be endured but she was incredibly brave without complaint. She was our hero and angel. Kristi is survived by her parents Don and Nancy Magnusson, brothers Jamie and Patrick of Coldstream; Grandmother Geraldine Ames of Vernon; Uncles Darcy (Tanis) Magnusson of Lumby, Keith Magnusson of Kamloops, Marty (Michele) Ames of Coquitlam, Pat (Patricia) Ames of North Vancouver; many treasured cousins; much loved boyfriend Derek Kozub; and many wonderful friends. She was predeceased by her Grandparents Carson Ames, Gus and Janet Magnusson; and Auntie Mary Magnusson. A memorial service will be held on Saturday May 31 at 2:00 PM at Trinity United Church (3300 Alexis Park Drive, Vernon.) Donations in the memory of Kristi may be made to either Cystic Fibrosis Canada or the Human Organ Procurement & Exchange Program (HOPE), Room 9120A Aberhart Bldg, 11402 University Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 2J3.

The Parks Master Plan process is underway and we need your help. Here are two more ways to get involved and help shape the future of Vernon parks. Share Your Park Photos We want to see what you love about Vernon parks and what could be improved. Your pictures say a thousand words and we want to use them in the Parks Master Plan to reflect the diversity of our parks. Your snapshots could be featured in the plan, but only if you share. Don’t worry, you will get all the credit. Become a Park Ambassador

Do you visit a local park regularly? Do you want to help us understand the park better and make a difference in its future? We are looking for volunteers to become Park Ambassadors to periodically monitor and observe local parks over the next few months. Park Ambassadors will be asked to attend a one hour training session and will be given tools to monitor how the park is being used, what is working well and what could be improved. Please help us get more eyes and ears on the ground and understand your local park better. To get involved, please email parks@vernon.ca or phone Cleo Corbett, Long Range Planner at 250550-7830. For more information, visit www.vernon.ca/parks. Numerous public consultation events will be happening throughout the year to get your feedback on parks. You’re the expert.

Extinguishers part of firefighting safety
ou probably walk by at least one of these at some point in your day. All commercial buildings are required to have them. They are generally placed near an exit or close to a possible fire hazard such as in a cooking area. Do you know what I am talking about? Most people I talk to don’t and when I tell them the answer is a fire extinguisher, I often hear the reply “I was going to say that or I thought that was
the answer!” makconfident that you can ing me wonder what handle the situation would happen if they by using a fire extinever had to use guisher, it one. is imporPerhaps tant for the this might be safety of all a good time concerned for a few facts that you about fire make sure extinguishers that everyregarding how one in the and when to Lawrie Skolrood building is use them. aware of the As soon as a fire is fire and that the fire discovered: department is on its Sound the alarm way. and start to evacuate. Tips for safe extinCall the fire depart- guisher use: ment. Test that the extinEven if you feel guisher works before
FIRE SMART
you approach the fire. Protect yourself at all times. Take care. Speed is essential but it is more important to be cautious. Keep your back to the exit at all times and stand 2 to 2.4m (6 to 8 ft.) away from the fire. Follow the 4-step P-A-S-S procedure: 1. Pull the pin (release the lock latch
or press the punch lever). 2. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. 3. Squeeze or press the trigger. 4. Sweep the extinguisher from side to side. If the extinguisher appears to be getting empty and the fire shows no sign of going out, leave the area at once. Back out with the lever squeezed and
the nozzle pointed at your feet. This will help protect you until you are out of the area. Fire extinguishers should be properly situated within a structure so that they are easily accessible and insure that the user has an available escape route. Finally, if you are unsure of your ability to handle a fire extin-
guisher please do not attempt to use it. You run the risk of injuring yourself, getting caught in the fire or spreading the fire and making things worse. Make sure the alarm is sounded and evacuate the building with everyone else and let the fire department do the firefighting. Lawrie Skolrood is deputy fire chief with Vernon Fire Services.
