Orchardists harvest funds for trees RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan orchardists are hopeful provincial funds will add strength to the industry. The Ministry of Agriculture is providing $2 million to replant low-value crops with more highdemand varieties. “We have to be competitive and right on top,” said Hardev Aujla, a farmer in the Bella Vista area. “You can’t survive with older trees.” Funding will cover both new tree stock and grafting on to existing trees. “The cost of replanting is a new expense. If we get some help, it will help a lot,” said John Dobernigg, whose family runs a BX orchard. Dobernigg’s only concern is the program should be five years in length, not three. “You have to put orders in (to purchase trees) and it takes time to get rolling,” he said. A grower must be farming at least five acres to be eligible for assistance, and must be willing to replant at least a minimum of one acre. Glen Lucas, B.C. Fruit Growers Association manager, isn’t concerned planting new apple varieties will lead to a market glut, forcing prices down. “With Gala, by being the best in the world, we have an advantage,” he said. With more than 600 growers in the industry, officials admit the funding is limited. “Definitely $2 million is not enough but it shows the government is working and listening to us,” said Kirpal Boparai, BCFGA

Hardev Aujla (left) shows Agriculture Minister Don McRae new fruit trees at his Bella Vista Road orchard Wednesday. president. “It gives us two to three years to work with them and hopefully there will be more money.” Of the 11,000 acres of tree fruits in the sector, the $2 million will replant about 350 to 400 acres. And even with the help, growers will face a significant financial
burden. Lucas says that if 2,000 trees are replanted, the total cost will be $20,000, with only $7,000 covered by the province. On top of that, there will be the cost of posts, wires and irrigation lines and the new trees won’t produce any fruit for three to four
years. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, says the $2 million revitalization fund is a result of lobbying by himself and his Okanagan colleagues. “We talk to the growers all of the time and the minister listened to us,” he said.
During a stop in Vernon Wednesday, Agriculture Minister Don McRae emphasized the need to meet the demands of consumers. “Farming is never easy but we want to ensure this industry remains the heritage industry it’s always been,” he said.

New unit puts a damper on wildfires JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
O
ne spark is all is takes to ignite a home, devastate families and scar communities. The ravage of the 2003 fires, causing catastrophe in Kelowna and Falkland, is burned in the memories of many. But if any good can come out of those wildfires, it is increased awareness and protection. One of the lessons learned from the historic firestorms was how valuable sprinkler systems, set up in a perimeter around a structure, can be in saving homes and buildings. Therefore structure protection units (SPU) were developed. And now the North Okanagan finally has one. “It’s a program that started after 2003, — Bill after all the fires when they realized the sprinkler unit was a very good tool to have in the toolbox,� said BX-Swan Lake Fire Department chief Bill Wacey, whose department recently purchased and put together a unit. Up until now, the local fire departments have had access to, but have never had their own SPU. Thanks to fundraising efforts of the BX department and support from B.C. Hydro, the new $75,000 unit will be available for all of the North Okanagan. “This is the first one in the North Okanagan and there’s probably only two or three available in the Okanagan Valley right now,� said Wacey, who has used SPUs in interface fires and seen first-hand how much protection they provide. “It’s been a very effective tool.� Wacey explains that most interface structure fires aren’t caused by a wall of flames, but are actually started from
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
sparks in the air. “It’s usually the ember flow. That’s what lands and that’s what basically starts the fire. “They can even get drawn in through dryer vents and air vents in the home.� But with sprinklers stationed around a home in the area of an interface fire, the RH factor is dropped, reducing the chance of a fire sparking. “It’s a little harder for the sparks and embers to take hold,� said Wacey. To ensure everyone knows how to use this new tool, the BX department spent a recent weekend training to use the SPU and also hosted eight different departments from the Okanagan/Shuswap. Vernon Fire Rescue Services also recently trained members with an SPU. Wacey Now the public is encouraged to come check out the new unit, see demonstrations and learn what they can do to better protect themselves and their homes from fires. The BX-Swan Lake Fire Department (5764 Silver Star Road) is hosting an open house Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be fire extinguisher training and hose demonstrations, as well as displays from the B.C. Forest Service at the family-friendly event. “We’re trying to promote awareness of wildfires and the public awareness of looking after yourself,� said Wacey. A barbecue will be set up with proceeds to be used to purchase additional equipment for the SPU that will be deployed to protect homes located in the path of a forest fire. A second information open house will take place at Silver Star Fire Rescue July 3 from 3 to 7 p.m.
Kenny Barg (top left) and Aaron Brown, of the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department, communicate their plan during fire protection training. Kevin McKay (above left) Heather Campbell and fire chief Bill Wacey set up sprinklers out of the department’s new structure protection unit, which will be available to view at the fire hall’s open house Saturday. Firefighters Taylor Wacey (below left) and Campbell listen as chief training officer Steve Bouchard of Kamloops talks about the equipment needed to operate the sprinklers.
“This is the first one in the North Okanagan.�

Copper thieves have blown a hole in the Vernon School District’s budget. Officials are trying to determine where to find the $12,000 needed to repair parking lot lights at Clarence Futon Secondary School after someone stole copper wiring from the school May 8. “We will have to defer something else within the maintenance budget,” said Randy Hoffman, secretary-treasurer. “There’s no magic pot of money to use in these circumstances.” An insurance claim will be filed, but it’s not known if it will be accepted. Even if insurance is available, the district must pay a $5,000 deductible. The theft was discovered when the parking lot lights didn’t come on. “It’s quite an expenditure for something we didn’t think would take place in a public place,” said Hoffman. District staff are currently travelling to all schools and welding the wiring panels on light panels closed. “Hopefully that will deter future theft of copper wire,” said Hoffman, adding that while such actions are necessary, it is diverting staff from regular duties.
New lawyer hired ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Cherryville man accused as an accessory after the fact in the murder of an Armstrong teen remains in custody. But Stephen Ray Foerster, 58, will have a new lawyer for his next appearance. Foerster announced in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday he will be replacing Bill Firman with Vernon lawyer Richard Hewson. Foerster, who is charged with accessory and obstruction of justice in connection with the death of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest Oct. 31, 2011, asked the judicial case manager to adjourn his matter to June 13 to give Hewson a chance to get up to speed on the case. The move was granted. Firman was Foerster’s lawyer when he arranged for bail, which was set by a judge at $100,000. Foerster has not yet met the bail, which also includes posting two sureties.

Garage fire not suspicious ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A fire that destroyed a Vernon auto repair shop and a trailer rental office May 18 is not suspicious in nature. Vernon Fire Rescue inspector Dean Wakefield said he can’t release his department’s official findings on the fire that destroyed Sanderson Service and U-Haul Co. in the 4600 block of 31st Street because the matter is still being privately investigated by an insurance company. “I can say we believe the fire was not suspicious,” said Wakefield. The blaze broke out
just before 4:20 p.m. after Sanderson Service owner Dave Sanderson was trying to pull a vapour line off the gas tank of a 1985 vehicle. When he pulled the line off, gas came pouring out of the car. Sanderson went to get a bucket but couldn’t catch all of the gas as it kept flowing out. Gas that escaped pooled as it hit cement on the other side of the building, and Sanderson believes it was something on the other side of the building that ignited the fire. The blaze destroyed two vehicles in the auto repair bays, and steam from the fire damaged two vehicles outside the building. A neighbouring laundromat in the same building was not damaged inside, though there was a smoke smell because of the fire. The wall shared by the auto repair shop and the laundromat suffered cracking. The businesses and the building were both

As soon as provincial assent is granted, the city will initiate an alternate approval process to borrow up to $1.2 million for improvements to Regent Avenue, Knight Street and storm drainage along Highway 97A. There will also be a similar process to borrow up to $233,000 for upgrades to Sicamous Street. “It’s expensive but it’s something we need to
“It hasn’t been touched in 40 years.” — Tundra Baird do,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Current storm sewers have been unable to keep up with significant rain storms and there was extensive flooding last year. While the roads are ripped up for storm sewer upgrades, it has also been decided to
do other work on the roads, specifically with water lines. “It hasn’t been touched for 40 years so we don’t know what’s under there,” said Coun. Tundra Baird. Under the alternate approval process, if 10 per cent of Enderby’s voters sign a petition in
opposition, the longterm borrowing of funds cannot proceed. It has been determined that 10 per cent amounts to 248 voters. Cyr doesn’t expect a lot of opposition, saying most residents are aware of flooding problems. “We have no choice. We have to deal with it,” he said. The total project cost for upgrades to Regent Avenue, Knight Street and storm drainage on Highway 97A is $1.3 million. Besides the possible borrowing of $1.2 million, there is $141,768 from M.V.
Beattie Elementary and general taxes. For Sicamous Street, the total project cost is $275,000. If the $233,000 in borrowing is approved, the remainder will come from taxes and reserves. Once this work is completed, Baird expects other projects will surface in Enderby. “Every community in the province is facing aging infrastructure and we’re trying to be proactive,” she said.

More road work on track in Spallumcheen ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A low tender bid means good news for capital road projects in Spallumcheen. The township budgeted $1,465,000 for road capital projects in 2012 and identified McLeery Road/Rashdale Road, Back Enderby Road, Salmon River Road and Stepping Stones Road as the top priorities to spend the $1.4 million on. However, Vernon Paving Ltd. bid on the tender for the projects at a cost of $1,015,441.13 (excluding tax), nearly $450,000 lower than budgeted. “Based on the unanticipated lower pricing, it is recommended that we expand our 2012 program, but not to exceed the budgeted amount,” said Ed Forslund, the FINANCING AVAILABLE O.A.C.

Let’s knock cancer out
I
t had been more than 20 years since I’d seen my friend’s younger brother, but the news of his death the other day still shocked. Gone at the young age of 43; two young daughters left behind; taken by that disease many of us know too well. He joins my grandparents and aunt and uncle, among the millions around the world, who have fought the fight, and unfortunately lost. If I could put a face to cancer, it would be my worst enemy –– someone whose lights, or at least deteriorating cells, I’d knock out flat, if only I could. There are days, after hearing about another senseless death, that I wonder why this disease still takes so many that we love. Where has all that money towards research Kristin Froneman gone? Where are the advances in eradicating cancer? Why is there no damn cure? And I know there are people out there who have given up. They no longer donate towards cancer research because they see no end in sight. They are fed up, watching loved ones suffer. Believe me, I’ve been there myself. But when the fog of anger lifts, and you start looking into the advances of cancer research, drugs and treatments, progress is being made. There’s hope to cling onto, and the possibility that one day cancer will be a thing of the past. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, today, 62 per cent of people diagnosed with cancer survive their disease. In the 1960s, the survival rate was one in three. “We know more about what causes cancer, how it develops, how best to treat it, and how we can improve the quality of life of cancer patients, survivors, families and caregivers,” reads the society’s website. Put basically, we are learning more about why some cells behave the way they do. Those who read the 2010 bestseller The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will know about how the cells removed from the cancerous cervix of one woman have gone on to be used in labo-
AT RANDOM
ratories around the world. Scientists have been attached to their microscopes watching how cancerous cells, and in this case the immortal HeLa cell, mutate, what makes them grow the way they do, and how to stop them. Early detection is now key and easier to do thanks to advances in technology and screening equipment, and new medicines are being developed to strike cancers down in their earliest, most vulnerable stages. Clinical trials continue on cancer patients to discover new combinations of chemotherapy, and radiation before and after surgery. Complementary and alternative therapies are also being examined rather than dismissed. All this attributes to the reason why the rate of death due to cancer, specifically with breast and prostate, has decreased significantly. Many people are in remission now due to that research. But there’s still the ones that succumb. Here in the North Okanagan there are many ways to give towards research while commemorating those who have fallen to the disease and those who have fought and won. One of them is coming up on June 2. The Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life kicks off at Vernon’s Polson Park at 6 p.m. with the survivors’ lap, an event that always hits me right in the heart. There’s also the Do it for Dad walk and run, which supports early detection and research for prostate cancer. It is held annually on Father’s Day at Coldstream Ranch. And then there are the Terry Fox Runs and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Run for the Cure in the fall... If you’re not into running, or walking, you can always support the cancer society’s daffodil campaign that takes place every April and then there’s the planned expansion of the McMurtry-Baerg Cancer Centre at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, which is in need of support, with the money going straight into the community. The B.C. Cancer Agency is also in need of funding to provide its essential regional services, information, and more. These are just some of the ways we can make sure research continues. I’m hopeful cancer eventually bites the dust.
Okanagan orchardists have received a shot in the arm and it’s absolutely necessary. Through the $2 million provincial grant, fruit growers will be able to abandon low-revenue crops for those varieties that have a better chance of bringing in revenue. And given the costly burden associated with replanting, support from government is critical if the industry is to remain competitive. But no one in Victoria or living here in the North Okanagan should consider this $2 million an answer to the sector’s woes. What continues to be needed is a complete shift in thinking and specifically among consumers. Instead of simply repeating the catch phrases of food security and closer to home, actually find a place for local fruit (and vegetables) on your shopping list. Go to the farmers market, or purchase Okanagan fruit at your favourite grocery store. Obviously we all need to be price conscious when dealing with fixed budgets, but consider the implications of buying local. It creates employment and those farmers and orchard workers then use their paycheques in local restaurants and stores, as well as paying their taxes. Purchasing local fruit also ensures that the lush orchards we all take for granted continue to grow. Federal and provincial governments also need to prevent foreign fruit from being unfairly dumped on the market, forcing prices down below the cost of production. Ultimately, $2 million for tree replanting is positive and will help the industry. But so much more needs to be done to support an important industry.

Spray park fulfils a dream
I
find the need to write in response to Russ Collins and Ellinor Turill’s letters in The Morning Star. The water park is a project that will only better our community all around and make it a more attractive place for what those of us that have worked very hard to accomplish are very proud of. First, the water park is not a project that some people just pulled out of a hat and decided a couple months ago to try to get. My parents and their friends started Teddy’s Devils and Martin’s Angels Sunshine Coach Society in 1987. At that time they began playing ball games for fun all year round in all seasons and weather conditions to raise money for children in our community. Through many ball games, events, and different fundraisers and years of hard work they have purchased a Sunshine Coach to transport children in our community with special needs to school in Vernon at the time when they needed to go there. They have also donated to our schools, daycares, and even were the first major sponsor and supporter when our community playground needed to be replaced due to CSA standards and there was no taxpayer’s money to replace it. It was their tireless support over the last 25 years that have given children in our community many opportunities. It was this group that 15 years ago decided to raise money for a safe water attraction for our community and through many meetings with NORD and the vil-
lage that the idea of the water park came to life. Fifteen years ago! Not a few months ago. Second, your comments about the water park having no educational purpose or value. It might be news to you, but kids learn through a variety of ways. Children learn many skills through play alone. Social, cognitive and imaginative play encourages learning important life skills. Third, you mention no community input. Clearly that must be an oversight on your part as if you walk into our Village Office Council Chambers you will see a beautiful drawing done by Outland Design Architecture of the “Whitevalley Parks and Recreation and Cultural Conceptual Landscape Plan” of the final draft that was adopted by the citizens of Lumby, Area D and E and have been on display since Feb. 15, 2011 after seven years of public meetings and nothing but input from citizens,
CROSS AT OWN RISK I live on a street that it is especially dangerous to cross. I swear that it is the most dangerous intersection in all of Vernon. The corner I am speaking of is 37th Street and 30th Avenue. There is a walk light for crossing 30th Avenue at 37th Street. There is also a walk light to cross 37th Street at 30th Avenue. The speed signs reads 50 km/hr and the traffic comes down that hill on 37th Street towards 30th
R
#
organizations and groups in our fine community which had a price tag of $37,000. The end result is the beautiful plan that has the water park and outdoor fitness equipment listed as #10 and #12 respectively on the plan drawing. The people have spoken and they said they wanted both, that is why they are on the plan. Not because our directors just decided on their own. If you failed to go to one of the numerous public meetings that were advertised and provide your negative input, I’m sorry and advise you in the future to get out to the community meetings when they are advertised. Our community needs to have attractions for all demographics, young and old and everyone in between. It is a fact we need young families to buy houses and move here to increase our tax base and fill our schools, our clubs, etc. so our community can continue to offer
Avenue at no less than 70 km/hr and likely more. I have used the walk light to cross 37th Street and the cars race to make the light and make a left hand turn at the light. They cross even when you are on the crosswalk then the cars coming down 30th Avenue make a right hand turn to go up 37th Avenue. These cars also turn on the walk light to make a right hand turn. It is frightening to be on the crosswalk and the traffic is coming at you at such horrendous speeds. One is taking their chances as no one respects
programs and some opportunities for our children to compete and keep our children in our community. Our young families deserve all the same opportunities as young families living elsewhere. Over these 15 years every possible option was looked at and considered. A wading pool like Lavington free of charge was looked at but that meant the need to have another lifeguard at a cost to taxpayers yearly. The latest technology bollards that are used will not be spewing water 24 hours a day. They are individually activated through motion sensors for a minute. If there are no kids there is no water used at all. If you were running a business and there was an opportunity to make your business better and more attractive to customers for only 20 cents on the dollar, would you not welcome that chance? It is almost a half a million dollar project combining both items, to make our community the best it can be with two wonderful groups (Teddy’s Devils and Martin's Angels Sunshine Coach Society and the Lumby Lions Club) combining to donate $60,000 on top of that because they believe in all demographics in our community. I was raised here, did all my schooling here, and chose to stay and raise a family here because I know firsthand what a great community we have. Sherry Kineshanko
the rules on this corner. I have seen some very angry drivers when I signed to them to stop as the walk light was on. There are never any traffic officers working this corner. I have tried to think of a way to make this corner safer and have come up with a whole lot of speed bumps. There are a lot of seniors in this area and many on carts and canes etc. Would you please help us out with this problem as I am certain that it will save lives. Grace Rankin

Oyama water gets extra cash RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A cost overrun isn’t stopping a project that will take Oyama residents off a boil water alert. Lake Country council agreed Tuesday to amend the budget for the Kalamalka Lake interconnect project by $460,000. That move was necessary after the originally expected $5 million budget fell short.

including a new bridge to access the site as well as numerous approvals from regulatory bodies such as the Department of Fisheries.” Baker is also pleased to see the project proceeding. “The reservoir will provide more water and better water for more users,” he said. “The boil water has been a constant irritation for the people who live there. The water is not unhealthy but the turbidity does not meet the regulations the Interior Health Authority has changed.” Council has awarded a $3.9 million contract for construction to Greyback Construction.

Improved communication is being sought for transit service in Lumby. Council will ask B.C. Transit to consider posting signs at the Shuswap Avenue and Glencaird Street bus stops with the bus schedule outlined. “Currently there isn’t a schedule at the stops and there is no information as to when the buses run,” said Coun. Nick Hodge. Council also wants a bus stop sign installed at the Glencaird Street location to identify it to riders. These actions are a result of suggestions from residents Nick Hodge Murray August and Donna Easto. However, August and Easto oppose the possibility of moving the Glencaird Street stop to the library or a new stop at the library on Shields Avenue. “Shields Avenue has no sidewalks, making reaching the bus stop for seniors, people with disabilities or limited mobility and young mothers with strollers extremely difficult,” they write in a letter. “The parking lot where the bus stop would be located is often full of cars with people at the library, the community centre or the curling club.” August and Easto also say the existing Glencaird Street bus stop is relatively new and well-lit. “It’s near to the pool and the village office and to the new extended care home when it is built,” they said. “The Lions Club donated a great deal of money to the bus stop. Has anyone asked the opinion of its members to this proposal?” However, Hodge believes there is merit to establishing a bus stop on Shields Avenue. “The community centre and library are very busy and there are washrooms available (for riders),” he said. “It would be a good, safe place to pick people up.” B.C. Transit has not agreed to a new stop and if there is a change, it wouldn’t likely be implemented until 2013.

Dream Auction benefits Kenyan school KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
A donation from the Kalamalka Rotary Club will go a long way in a small village on the other side of the world. Thanks to funds raised at last year’s annual Dream Auction, the club has donated $8,000 towards materials and construction of a school in the village of Ngosauni in Kenya. The school is a project of the Global Action program at Vernon secondary school, led by teacher Susan Egan, who takes groups of students to Kenya in the summer to connect with their African counterparts in friendship and to help build the school. The donation from Kal Rotary will help to purchase materials, while students from the Vernon School District will provide the volunteer labour. “A project like this affects not only the lives of the students in Kenya, but also the students who go over there,” said Jerry Tellier, with the club. “We are excited about this project.” Helping students to
complete their education is nothing new for the club. It has built a school and is sponsoring girls from poor rural families in Ethiopia so they can finish high school. Egan said the club deserves enormous thanks for its donation and said it will go a long way towards ensuring the education of students in the small village on the Masai Mara Game Reserve in southwestern Kenya. “I’m just floored, and so incredibly grateful to Jerry and to Kal Rotary and to everyone who attended the Dream Auction, everyone who attends the event has made a huge difference in the lives of the kids in Kenya who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go to school.” Glancing at the new VSS under construction, Egan stressed that building a school in Kenya is not on the same scale as building a new school in Vernon. “They are very basic, with cinder block walls, a tin roof and a concrete floor,” she said. “The tin roof is very important

because during the rainy season, the kids sit in mud, with eight students crammed into a desk, so it’s not very effective for learning and with a new building, you have windows, a floor, a desk, books, a white board, it’s the difference between night and day and the kids there are so appreciative.” VSS Grade 10 student Keiten Brown made the trip last year and she said it’s an experience that will stay with her the rest of her life. “When you go there, they appreciate everything so much and yet they have so little — it makes us feel greedy,” said Brown, who is planning to attend medical school after graduation, eventually working abroad. “When I got home it made me appreciate everything we have here. “One of the girls gave me a bracelet and said we will always be best friends, so I definitely want to go back there and I want to continue to help them out.” The Global Action students are working

Enderby’s riverwalk is extremely popular, and more traffic could be on the way. The City of Enderby is considering allowing cyclists on the Jim Watt Heritage Riverwalk, which parallels the Shuswap River. “It would be nice if we could integrate both bicycles and pedestrians,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “We want to encourage fitness and I’m sure that’s the way it will go.” The Enderby Chamber of Commerce has promoted the concept. “As we attempt to vitalize our local economy, biking has come to the forefront when it comes to the encouragement of a healthy population and the
“We want to encourage fitness and I’m sure that’s the way it will go.” — Howie Cyr promotion of local tourism assets,” said Darren Robinson, chamber executive director, in a letter to the city. “Multi-use trails are very important in attracting both new residents and tourists and the riverwalk is one of the easiest to access.” The matter will be considered further by the Enderby/Area F Joint Services Commission, which oversees parks and recreation. But one outstanding mat-
ter is safety. “We have a lot of seniors who walk the area,” said Cyr of the potential conflict between pedestrians and cyclists. The chamber believes there may be a solution. “Some options to consider include right-of-way signage which would give right-of-way to pedestrian users, or perhaps even widening the trail and creating a bike-only lane,” said Robinson.
Internet upgrade sought for Cherryville RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cherryville residents could ultimately be burning up the information highway. The Regional District of North Okanagan continues to try and get high-speed Internet service for Cherryville and parts of rural Lumby. “Kids are told in school to go home and do their homework online and they can’t because of dial-up,” said director Eugene Foisy. “More than 24 per cent of our community is small and homebased business and the lack of high-speed Internet impacts their ability to deal with government and customers.” A dependence on dial-up Internet has also led to some people refusing to move to Cherryville. “Real estate people have lost sales because of it,” said Foisy. RDNO has been considering the feasibility of the service with assistance from Telus. “We’re waiting for all of the numbers to see if we can move ahead,” said Foisy. One possibility for funding the necessary infrastructure is a
joint initiative between Telus, the community and the federal government. The Southern Interior Development
Initiative Trust recently provided $100,000 towards the effort. Foisy isn’t sure when a decision will be made on proceed-
ing with high-speed Internet. “It has to be financially feasible. If the numbers are too high, it won’t fly,” he said.

Mother’s Day will be memorable for one family. On May 13 shortly after 1 p.m., a member of the RCMP spotted a black Ford truck travelling at well over the posted limit northbound on Highway 97, near Duck Lake, in Lake Country. “The member watched as the truck, without slowing, passed another police officer engaged in a roadside vehicle stop,” said Cst. Kris Clark, with the RCMP. “When the driver was Kris Clark stopped near Commonwealth Road, the officer noticed an odour of liquor and made a roadside breath demand. He refused to provide a sample.” The man’s two children – one and two years old – were picked up by their mother. They were going to visit her for Mother’s Day. A 27-year-old Sicamous man was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition from driving, a 30-day impound, and violation tickets for speeding, failing to slow down for an emergency vehicle and failing to produce his driver’s licence. “So as not to leave the man stranded on the highway, the police officer transported him back to Kelowna to wait for his ride,” said Clark.

Humpbacks dry up against NET Morning Star Staff
The North Enderby Timber (NET) downed the Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC 1-0 in a tight North Okanagan Soccer League match Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. The game was physical and the elevated pace saw numerous chances for each side. Already undermanned, the Camels took a blow late in the first half with fullback anchor Damian Adams succumbing to a hamstring injury. NET took advantage as roadrunner Dexter James converted the opening goal for NET midway through the second half, heading a well-placed Brandon Enair cross from the right side. NET enjoyed many chances only to play muffin-like shots on goal or powerful far and away misses. “We need to focus more in the offensive third if we want to be top of the league; one nil is not enough even with the best goalie (Danny Stein) in the league,” said NET veteran Graham Ross. “James is our best addition in years; his head is just as lethal as his left peg,” said Ross. The Timber chances kept coming with three free kicks just outside the 18, with only one hitting the net causing problems and a goal-mouth scramble. With only one substitute and weary legs, the Camels managed a number of equalizing chances but with no result. The Camels, who have dropped three straight, fell to 2-3-1. NET (5-1) shares top of the table with Courvas (5-0) of Salmon Arm. The Timber visit the always threatening Courvas next Wednesday. Monashee Surveying brushed back

the wing to find Alberto Lopez, who tangoed his way into the box and found space to fire a solid shot. The rebound fell nicely to Zach (Big Zig) Sharp, who converted easily.
Ryan Sharp, who has been money on penalty kicks for Monashee, was stoned by Riley Spraggs. Concept (0-5-1) equalized on a header by Shane Whitley just before the break. Enzo Paal drew the assist. Sharp was also effective on the 3-1-1 Monashee defence, saving a shot on the line with his backside. Daniel Lutsenko was the Burger King Man of the Match with the winning powerful header from a bending left-footed cross by Rodney Goodchild. The defending champion Courvas knocked Turn-Key Controls out of the penthouse with a 4-0 win Wednesday at Marshall Field #3. Turn Key (4-2) fell behind in the opening minute on a bouncing ball that eluded the defenders and found a Courvas foot. The two squads battled equally the rest of the half, and despite a Turn-Key penalty shot that rang off the post, neither team could muster another goal. Turn Key fell behind 2-0 early in the second half. The controls squad was unable to put one past Courvas despite another penalty kick. A Taylor Horsting strike from 20 yards out hit the crossbar. Courvas added two goals in the dying minutes as the Turn-Key defence pressed in search of a goal. The Nation of Domination Eagle Homes clipped the Davidson & Co. Dynamite 2-1 in Salmon Arm. Play was very aggressive with lots of scoring chances by both teams. Chris Swinburn scored for the Nitros (2-3-1), who gave up the winner in the late stages. Eagle Homes improved to 3-3.
Robinson returns to Viper den as assistant coach GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Barely a year removed from his playing days with the Vernon Vipers, Dave Robinson is rejoining his hometown B.C. Hockey League club. Only this time it will be as an assistant coach. Robinson, who captained the Snakes to the gold-medal game of the 2011 RBC Cup national Junior A championships in Camrose (they fell to the Pembroke Lumber Kings), will join Calgary’s Jason Dave Robinson Read as an associate under head coach/ GM Jason Williamson. Robinson, a 22-year-old forward, had just wrapped up his freshman year with the University of Calgary Dinos when he
learned about the coaching opportunity. “I’ve been going back and forth about it,” said Robinson, of his decision to quit playing. “Throughout my whole career I’ve battled concussions and I just lost a little bit of the passion to play. I was ready to give up the game and when I saw this opportunity come up, it made that choice a bit easier. “It’s never easy quitting hockey when you’ve been playing it for 15 years. It was a tough decision on me, but I’m excited to start a new chapter.” Williamson says he and Robinson played a similar hardnosed style, and believes he is a natural fit for Vernon. “Dave’s just a heart-and-soul kid. Everyone in this town knows him and he’s a guy we can always lean on, just from his experience playing here and knowing what it takes to be a Viper. “He’s obviously played a lot of hockey and he’s not that

far removed from the game, which can be invaluable.” Read’s 18 years of coaching experience, primarily on the defensive side, will be a welcome addition to the Viper bench. He will guide the blueline in Vernon as well. The 41-year-old formerly scouted southern Alberta for the Vipers, while working with the Calgary Royals Midget AAA program. “He’s watched a lot of hockey for us, and he’s got some good insight in the Alberta area,” said Williamson, adding Read coached Viper d-man Geoff Crisfield when he was with the Royals. “He’s going to work closely with the dee. He’s got some knowledge and he’s been around the game a long time. He’s going to develop our defence and make them harder to play against.”

by brilliant Blazers’ substitute keeper Jeanette Maleska. The Celtics (2-1-2) got their goal from star left midfielder Jodi Bariesheff, her second tally in as many games. Bariesheff took a nifty chip pass from Carly Smith over the Blazers’ speedy back line on the left side of the pitch. Bariesheff shielded off a defender while cutting inside to slot the ball nicely into the corner. The Blazers continued to build pressure in the first half, earning a free kick roughly 20 yards out.

remaining. Boisvert, Streichert and Carissa Morneau had countless scoring opportunities. Amber Maltman was brilliant as always on the Blazer d-line with help from Jessica Brewis and Manpreet Dosanjh. The Blazers are 0-4-1. Dr. Lee Dental Clinic scored four first-half goals and cruised to a 4-0 win over Salmon Arm Glenn Power in Division 1 play at Marshall #4. Maddie Kaneda opened the scoring in the 10th minute, catching the Salmon Arm keeper off her line and firing a 30-yard shot top corner. Andi King set up Jacquie Hansen 10 minutes later, Hansen tapping it into the open net. King made it 3-0 on a header off an Irene Arrotta corner, and King again converted on a 35-yarder. Lisa Arrotta earned the shutout as Dr. Lee improved to 4-0-1 atop the table. Stephanie Wilson had a strong game at centre midfield and was named the Township 7 Lady of the Match.
Johnston delivers winner In Masters Division play, the Vernon Square Liquor Store NOU United edged the Goplen Drillers 2-1 at Marshall #5. In the aftermath of a busy long weekend running the National Oldtimers Tournament, weary NOU side hit the windy field stuck in their end for most of the first half and were down 1-0. Lena Urquart took a perfect through ball from defender Tracey Hill and calmly beat two defenders, went around the keeper and found net. NOU came alive, and with the help of newfound celebrity Shelley Henry, equalized early in the second half on a Henry shot from inside the 18. In the last dying seconds of the game on her second breakaway, defender Shelly Johnston took a feed from Henry, outran a few defenders and faced keeper Shaun Nickoli eye to eye. Nickoli caught the shot but lost control as it trickled over the line. The Drillers (0-4-1) got outstanding games from Kate Ball and Amber (Bulldog) Tew, playing outside defence and stopping several runs by NOU. Lisa Lanaway, playing centre midfield, also had a strong game, almost getting the go-ahead goal with a strike off the crossbar. The Vernon Controllers struggled with the wind for one half before clipping the Shuswap Merlot 2-1 at Marshall #2. Controllers’ keeper Mickey Templeton was stellar as the Merlot took advantage of the first-half wind. A Merlot defender was called for a handball early in the sec-

The Merlot (3-2-1) tied the score midway through the second half on a seeing-eye shot just under the bar. The Controllers (3-1-2) answered back when Templeton put the ball up to Jackie Nuyens on the right side. Nuyens fed speedy Deanna Baker in alone and Baker easily beat the keeper top corner. Midfielders Krista Backer, Leslie Epp, Therese Weber and another strong game from Jenny Currie were the difference for the Controllers. Louis was outstanding up front with help from Baker and newcomer Sherry Kineshanko. Season’s Sista’s gained their first point of the season by battling the Shuswap Kaos to a 1-1 draw in Salmon Arm. With some nursing injuries, and some just battered and bruised and very tired after playing in the National tournament, the Sista’s never gave up. The Season’s front line was tireless with several drives to the net by Andy Zubot and Kerry Story, while Sherry Weibe was sharp as first-half keeper. Becky (Bubbles) Birbilis played goal in the second half and was equally solid, making some big
saves and coming out to challenge drives to the net. The midfield of Lesley Williams, Pam Zalcik and Birbilis used their great ball sense to find open teammates, while Deb Whitling was a menace to her check on the defensive line and quick to the ball. Juanita Garner was always ready to step up to help fend off an attack on the back line time and time again. The Sista’s got their goal on a beautiful cross from Birlbilis to Zubot, who buried the ball in the back of the net. The Kaos went to 1-4-1. First-place Ted United shut down Rosters 4-0 Tuesday night in Salmon Arm. Emily Styles started off the scoring early in the first half with a left-footed shot from the top of the 18. Sue Doray resumed her scoring ways, notching the next two goals. It was 3-0 for most of the second half thanks to some great saves by Rosters’ keeper Gennie Mae Deines. Cathy Bartsch found the net in the final minutes as United improved to 6-0. Linda Yawney made her debut in net and earned the shutout. Rosters (1-22) received notable efforts in the midfield by Andrea Southam and Christine Trickey.

Lazar rates minutes KEVIN MITCHELL
On days off at the MasterCard Memorial Cup in Shawinigan, the Edmonton Oil Kings became regular tourists. They went bowling and did some sightseeing in and around Quebec City. After going 1-2 in the roundrobin and thus facing a tiebreaker Thursday night versus the host Cataractes, the Oil Kings hope to take the tourist route to Sunday’s Major Junior hockey national final. Taking the long way home meant a must-win Thursday turned into another win-or-gohome situation in today’s semifinal. “We have a big challenge ahead of us, but we faced adversity being down in the (seven-game WHL) series with Portland and we’ll just take it one game at a time,” said Vernon’s Curtis Lazar, a rookie centre with Edmonton. “Everybody’s got bumps and bruises and we’re still recovering from that gruelling series against Portland, but it’s going to take something really serious to knock any of our guys out of the lineup.” Lazar, who turned 17 in February, had a strong game Tuesday night as the Oil Kings bowed 4-1 to the trap-loving London Knights. He and wingers Henrik Samuelsson and Stephane Legault were Edmonton’s most effective line and were rewarded with big minutes. “Curtis has been playing great,” Oil King assistant coach Steve Hamilton told The Morning Star. “His line has really risen to the occasion and been our best line. It’s a nice blend. They complement each other and his instincts make him such a pleasure to play with. He’s a big body who’s not

Edmonton clipped the Cataractes 4-3 in their tourney opener. London, whose win over the Oil Kings vaulted them into the final, outshot Edmonton 28-21 and kept their top shooters to the perimeter. “They play that trap well and they did a good job shutting us down,” said Lazar. “We were a bit stubborn in not adjusting sooner. We were down on ourselves afterwards. It’s quite frustrating and we’ve got a few passengers so having today off was good for us to get away from the rink and do some soul searching and get ready for the next game. “Everybody’s got to give an extra gear. I know I have to start scoring. I’m getting chances.” Lazar says he is striving to play a solid two-way game and using his solid frame to disrupt opposing teams as they try to move
the puck out of their zone. He picked off several passes deep in the London end Tuesday. Legault and Samuelsson each had one assist and were plus 1 along with Lazar, who went 9-for13 on faceoffs. The Oil Kings, staying 45 minutes away from the rink, had a luncheon with parents Wednesday and then headed to their hotel rooms to watch the Saint John Sea Dogs-Shawinigan game on TV. The defending champion Sea Dogs won 4-1. “My dad’s (Dave) here and it’s always nice to have that family support,” said Lazar. “I’m getting texts from my mom (Karen) which always put a smile on my face.” Lazar, who is high on the NHL’s early-round radar for the 2013 entry draft, is no threat on the bowling alleys. “I was close to the 70-point range,” he laughed. “Even Dylan Wruck, who has his shoulder in a sling, beat me using his wrong hand. I’ll stick to hockey.”
Read adds defensive approach Continued from A23 Read’s Junior experience includes a stint with the BCHL Victoria Salsa as an assistant under Campbell Blair (former Vernon Laker d-man, now coaching the NCAA Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves) for three years, and one as head coach. He coached against Williamson in his playing days with the Vipers. “The players have to understand they’re playing defence,” said Read, of his strategy for the blueline. “That’s the position they picked and that’s the priority they must achieve. Looking after their own zone is No. 1, and if you’re able to offensively commit and jump into the rush after that, that’s great. “People just need to know what their jobs are and we need to support them in any way they need to be helped.” With Brett Corkey, Marc Hetnik, Crisfield and Ryan Renz all returning, Read will have plenty of talent to work with. “It’s definitely one of our strengths,” said Williamson. “Veteran experience is invaluable at this level.” After missing the playoffs for the first time in
more than a decade, the Vipers will lean on that veteran presence to help groom a talented crop of rookies as they attempt to rebound. “We definitely weren’t happy with last year,” said Williamson. “We’ve worked hard this summer to put the pieces back together and we’re going to be right in the mix for fighting for a BCHL championship.” ■ A week after announcing a pair of Saskatchewan recruits – d-man Michael Statchuk and centre Landon Robin – the Vipers committed to Kootenay forward Craig Martin Thursday. After finishing third in the KIJHL scoring race with 48 goals for 96 points in 50 games as a 16-yearold, Martin led all postseason scorers with 17-15-32 in 21 games, helping the Beaver Valley Nitehawks to a league title. He posted seven points in nine games as a call-up with his hometown Trail Smoke Eaters. “Craig was a highly sought after player by virtually every team in our league and had options in the WHL,” said Williamson. “He is a very gifted offensive player and will be looked upon to add scoring to our line-up.”

Clubmate Dave Dawson (men’s 55-59) uncovered gold in the 400 mixed medley relay with Hurry, Marjon Zambon and Jennifer Leach-Trask for a provincial record. Dawson was fifth in the 200 free relay. A pair of world records, 26 Canadian and a dozen B.C. records were set in the nationals which attracted 86 clubs. Penticton’s Karl

The Wine Country Masters won the championship division for Small clubs.
Heat outgun Warriors in comeback Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Royal Canadian Legion #25 Heat brushed back the Kelowna Warriors 10-8 in Midget girls fastball action Tuesday night at Grahame Park. Heat pitcher Shelby Munk and catcher Mykaila Head combined to tag a runner out at home for the second out in the first inning. Munk recorded a strikeout for the third out. Dallyce Edwards started Vernon’s half of the inning with a grounder past third base. Head followed with a two-run single and the Heat got the maximum five runs from birthday girl Lexie Edwards, Stefani Anderson, Dallyce Edwards, Munk and Keara Crandlemire with no outs. Kelowna was held to one run in the second inning with Munk throwing to Crandlemire at first for the opening out and shortstop Anderson tossing to Crandlemire for the final two outs.

Canadians settle for Diamondback draw Morning Star Staff
An extra inning settled nothing as the Vernon Canadians and West Kelowna Diamondbacks tied 5-5 in Pee Wee baseball play Tuesday night at Creekside Park. The C’s gave up three runs on four hits in the top of the first inning and then scored a deuce in their half when Jarod Leroux and Landon Currie stroked backto-back singles, each swiped a base and scored on a Nathan Nesbitt double. Nick Cherkowski grounded out and Nesbitt was put out trying to steal home on a passed ball, ending the inning. The D-Backs were blanked in the sec-
ond, while the C’s tied things up when Kadyn Thomas and Keaton Mandryk hit back-to-back singles and each stole a base. Thomas scored on a Jadon Parsons’ groundout to second and Mandryk scored on a passed ball while Ethan King was at the plate. Westbank were up by a run in the fifth before Mandryk singled, swiped second and reached third when Parsons grounded out back to the pitcher. The D-Backs took the lead in the top of the sixth, only to see the Canadians even the score when Leroux singled, stole second and scored when Nesbitt singled to right field.
Nesbitt allowed six hits in three innings work, while Cherkowski fanned five of six batters in the fourth and fifth. Mandryk took the hill the last two innings, giving up a run and striking out three. The C’s got one-hit pitching from both Mandryk and Nesbitt in a 14-0 ambush of the Rutland Rockies in Sunday action. Nesbitt also rocked at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a grand slam homer which cleared the left centre field fence by about 40 feet. Caden Doyle was 2-for-3 with a double, while Currie and Mandryk also went 2-for-3. Vernon is now 1-1 versus Rutland this season.

Due to spring run off and heavy rains, the City of Armstrong is having to switch water source from the Fortune Creek surface supply to groundwater wells. The creek water is temporarily too high in turbidity and color to be reliable. Some of the changes you may notice with the well water are - the water from the wells is slightly warmer, it may taste differently and require more soap for cleaning. However, it is entirely safe to use.

Members of the Vernon Shotokan Karatedo Club claimed 10 medals in a pair of recent International Shotokan Karate Federation events. A five-member crew, comprising brown and black belts, battled at the national championships at the Richmond Oval, with Abigail Bos striking silver in junior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team kata (traditional forms). Yuri Bos showed great form in the popular menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black belt division, which featured more that 40 challengers. Carla Buchanan tested her skills in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black belt kata, but her solid performance was not enough to overcome strong competition from the Quebec and Alberta teams. Vernon instructor Mike Ciurka, along with Danny Loo, were in tough in a talented senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kata bracket. Loo was unable to advance, but Ciurka nailed bronze. Earlier at provincial championships in North Vancouver, eight Vernon members hauled in eight medals. Nathan Allen struck gold in the mixed 10-11-yearold green to purple belt kata. He also earned silver in kumite after a closely fought rematch. Sidney Bos brought home silver and bronze respectively, in the same division. Neave Allen demonstrated great form in the girls 10-13 white to orange belt group to capture silver. Erik Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ecluse earned bronze in the boys 8-10

Secondary school students graduating from the Vernon and North Okanagan-Shuswap school districts this year will have access to $5,250 in new financial awards at Okanagan College. The college is offering seven new awards, each valued at $750, for students who enroll at the Kalamalka campus this September. “We are encouraging all students who are considering attending Okanagan College in September to visit our financial aid website for complete award criteria. The deadline for applying is May 31,” said Jane Lister, regional dean. Four of the $750 awards are dedicated to Continuing Studies programs – two for students entering the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) certificate and two for students in the esthetician certificate program. Each of the awards will be granted as a tuition credit toward the program. Students applying for the GIS award must be 2012 high school graduates who intend to register in the GIS certificate program in August at the Vernon Campus. Consideration will be given to students who demonstrate financial need, present career research in GIS occupations, and have community service contributions. Students applying for the esthetician award must also be 2012 high school graduates who intend to register in the esthetician certificate program in September at the Vernon campus. Two entrance awards are available for specialty arts diploma programs – one for the environmental studies diploma and one for the writing and publishing diploma. The aboriginal student entrance award of $750 is available to nonstatus or Métis aboriginal students. For details about the awards and their criteria, visit: www.okanagan.bc.ca/financialaid.

North Okanagan residents should keep an eye out for bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. Bats can fly into poorly sealed cabins and homes, or roost in attics. Between four and eight per cent of the
bats that are tested after coming into contact with people are found to have the rabies virus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you come into contact with live or dead bats it is very important to avoid touching them,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Jeyes, a communicable disease specialist with
the Interior Health Authority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And parents should remind their children not to play with or touch bats.â&#x20AC;? Last year, 24 people in the IHA region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment, involving a

two-week long period of vaccinations, is most effective when administered as soon as possible after exposure. Without treatment to prevent its onset, rabies is almost always fatal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone who has handled a bat should contact their public health unit or their physician right away,â&#x20AC;? said Jeyes. â&#x20AC;?Because bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws their scratches or bites are not always visible and in some cases it can take weeks or even months for symptoms to appear. Early treatment is essential to prevent the disease from progressing - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to get checked out as soon as possible.â&#x20AC;? Prevention: Do not touch live or dead bats. Make your home or cabin bat proof. Keep doors and windows closed, make sure window screens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any holes and keep the attic area free of bats by keeping all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings. If you find a live bat
in your home, open the window and close interior doors until the bat leaves. Seek professional batcontrol advice (from a pest control or wildlife specialist) if your work place or home is inhabited by bats. Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be found (e.g. caves). If you have a pet dog, cat or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. If you have been bitten or scratched: Wash the wounds with soap and water. Contact your local public health unit or family doctor immediately. Call a wildlife or pest control company to capture the bat. Safely contain the bat in a secure covered container to prevent others from being exposed. Keep the bat in a safe location until public health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies. For more information, go to www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/ hfile07.stm

Aboriginal artists have an opportunity to help showcase Canadian culture. Community Futures Development Corporation is seeking aboriginal artists in B.C. to take part in the fourth edition of the Aboriginal Artisans catalogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art is a vital component to not only Aboriginal culture, but also Canadian culture as a whole,â&#x20AC;? said Geri Collins, director of operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give our artists the opportunities they deserve.â&#x20AC;? There is no charge to be included in the catalogue and both traditional and contemporary artists are encouraged to submit a biography, artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement and high quality photos of the work they wish to have included in the catalogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We value all aboriginal artisans,â&#x20AC;? said Collins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From woodcarvers to the film makers, are welcome to submit.â&#x20AC;? Funding for the project is through a co-operative effort between the First Nations Technology Council, Regional Economic Development Initiative and Community Futures Development Corporation of Central Interior First Nations. The clock is ticking for applications, as there are plans to go to press on June 15. For more information contact Joseph Jack at 250-828-9753.

Greenhow competes with O’Keefe
T
om Greenhow was impressed. He got off his horse and walked through the lush bunchgrass, growing waist-high as far as he could see. He turned to his partner, William Coulter and said with a grin, “I’m going to spend the rest of my life here at the head of Okanagan Lake.” Thomas Greenhow came from Cumberland in the extreme northwest corner of England. He left home in the early 1860s to seek his fortune in the goldfields of the new Colony of British Columbia. When he reached the Cariboo goldfields, he met William Coulter. The two men found that all the promising ground had been pretty much completely staked before they had arrived on the scene. They watched as drovers brought cattle into the goldfields and sold them at a significant profit and decided that there was a better chance to make a living in the cattle business than in mining. They had heard of the fertile Okanagan Valley while they were struggling in the goldfields and decided to check out the area. After coming upon the extensive bunch grass ranges at the north end of Okanagan Lake, they decided to buy some cattle and settle there.
In the spring of 1867, the two men travelled from the Head of Okanagan Lake south to Oregon and purchased cattle in the Willamette Valley. They drove them over the Cascade Range to The Dalles on the Columbia River where they met up with two other men bound for British Columbia, Cornelius O’Keefe and Thomas Wood. Since they were all heading the same direction, the men combined their herds and travelled the trail together, arriving at the Head of Okanagan Lake on June 20, where they each staked out a 160 acre pre-emption. Before long, William Coulter sold out to Tom Greenhow and Thomas Wood abandoned his pre-emption and re-established himself at the south end of the lake that was later called by his name, Wood Lake. Tom Greenhow and Cornelius O’Keefe stayed at the Head of the Lake and began to amass more land. A friendly rivalry developed between the partners, Greenhow and O’Keefe. Both men acquired more and more land through purchase and pre-emption. The Kamloops Inland Sentinel newspaper reported in 1887 that O’Keefe had 8,000 acres and 900 head of cattle and Tom Greenhow had a slight

edge with 9,000 acres and 900 head of cattle. It also mentioned that, at their ranches “there are two general stores, one for each.” It would seem that, after O’Keefe opened a general store on his property and successfully lobbied to become the Post Master, Tom Greenhow decided to
open a general store on his ranch a few hundred yards away. In 1879, O’Keefe’s niece, Elizabeth Coughlin, came to visit her uncle on his ranch. She met Tom Greenhow Ken Mather and fell for the dark handsome Englishman. The two were married and lived in a log

house about 50 meters from the O’Keefes on 10 acres that Cornelius sold to Tom (for full market price, of course). Thomas Greenhow, never a healthy man, died in 1889 at the age of 51. He was survived by his wife, Elizabeth and his two children, Thomas Junior and Mary Victoria. Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch in Spallumcheen.

Inspire Others Through Your Music & Charm!
Giving musicians a voice
The lights are about to shine on artists performing at Vernon’s newest arts venue. The Hub Lights fundraiser is an evening of music and a bake sale to raise money for new stage lights at The Hub Arts Collective, which holds ongoing live music, performing and visual arts, and theatre events. Bands Steel Wound and Sorella are scheduled to perform. Featuring Rod MacDonald (upright bass, vocals, tuba), Keith Hustler (vocals, guitar, banjo and mandolin) and Kerry Parks (songs, vocals, guitar, dobro and harmonica), Steel Wound presents a repertoire of original tunes and semi-obscure alt-root jazzy country blues. Sorella is comprised of longtime Coldstream Coffee House musician and Enderby open mic host Ellie Young on bass, music therapist and Vernon Glee Club co-founder Julie Armitage on guitar and teacher/Trinity United Church music director Diana Ward on keys. They have an eclectic sound mixed with three-part harmony. Hub Lights happens Sunday, 7 p.m., at The Hub,

“We welcome all ideas for an event or series of events,” said Jukes. “Early, advanced, young, adult, classical and contemporary – all players and singers will be welcome in a relaxed, noncompetitive environment.” Like sports, music has a wide range of choices to suit and enhance differing skills and interests. Although Sahlen’s main training is in the classical realm, he happily explores jazz, blues, audio tech and many other styles – and teaches a full range from exambased music to composing and Internet audiotech at the Vernon Community Music School. The OCSL also has a focus on music and community in its

general mandate. “Our doors are open as a gathering place for community concerts, teacher recitals, open-mic nights and other musical events,” said Jukes, who is the centre’s music director. Sahlen became involved with the OCSL last year when promoting the project that brought the Knabe grand piano to the CentreStage. Donated by the Larman family, it joins the sound and stage equipment of this intimate 70-seat performance venue. Future Music Vision Vernon activities might include team and esteem building for young people, including youth at risk and others whose music might pave the way to great things; gatherings for music teachers; arts advocacy; a recovery room, where music-seekers like Brady, wounded by past judgments, might enjoy mutual support and more, said Sahlen. The hope is that Music Vision Vernon will have a place for every person who wants to make music, added Jukes. Sunday’s discussion at the CentreStage in the OCSL, 2913-29th Ave., behind the Towne Theatre, starts at 3:30 p.m. Varied music, plus goodies and a discussion, will fill the 90-minute session. For more details or to register your interest, contact arnesahlen@hotmail.com or Jukes at 250-549-9135.

An opinion piece in The Morning Star has inspired a local pianist and music teacher to reach out to those wanting to play or just enjoy music in a nonjudgemental atmosphere. Arne Sahlen said Morning Star reporter Cara Brady’s column, A Reasonable Ear, which appeared in the opinion section of the paper May 17, affected him deeply. In the piece, Brady told of her lifelong wound from “tone deaf ” childhood labels and music school failure. “Tone deafness is mainly a myth,” said Sahlen. “It may affect which instrument, or voice, you choose to study, but the world’s zillion-plus pianists never make a pitch. If it’s out of tune, we phone somebody. I applaud Cara for facing down her demons with the help of caring teacher Jim Miles.” Sahlen and his duet partner, local pianist Hannah Jukes, are inviting all musicians and music supporters of all styles, affiliations, backgrounds and experience levels for a casual talk about community building. Their new group, Music Vision Vernon, will gather for the first time Sunday at CentreStage in the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living (OCSL). Both hope to set up a festive and all-inclusive music celebration in the near future.

He’s supposed to deliver a speech to the UN in New York, but a spy has stolen his beard and his second in command has replaced him with a body double and his own agenda. Unable to get back to his sycophants, Aladeen has to rely on his limited wits and absent charm to convince evil Americans to help him. Accustomed to complete power, including the ability to change any rule, even language, (Aladeen has replaced over 60 words in the dictionary with his own name, including both “positive” and “negative,”) will the dictator

We say, “See it, it’s Aladeen.” TAYLOR: Last Friday, Mr. Howe made his annual pilgrimage to his reptilian home planet, Pintar, so I thought I’d take my oldest friend and an active local politician, Ryan Nitchie, to see The Dictator. What did you think of the film, Mr. Nitchie? NITCHIE: I love Sacha Baron Cohen’s warped sense of humour, however, I was a little worried about this film, as his wheelhouse is improvisational
comedy in character, like Borat. In this film he had to work within the confines of a script and rely on his comedic writing ability, but he succeeds. TAYLOR: I’m not sure Cohen’s Taylor & Howe guerrilla style would have worked in this film. For one thing, he’s much too famous to hide behind makeup, folks would simply recognize him and the illusion would be lost. Secondly, I’m not sure anyone could run around New York City as a middle eastern dictator causing trouble, without that trouble becom-

ing real. I think Cohen might be a genius, but he’s often preoccupied with shocking people. This film wasn’t so much about the gross factor, (although it was very 14A,) as it was about social and political satire, fundamental bigotry or recent American history. NITCHIE: Having watched a lot of the prerelease interviews on TV you can see his comedic genius in the subtle nuances of his dialogue with the interviewers. He often slightly fused Aladeen with Borat, which left me with tears in my eyes from laughter. I hoped for a little more of that in this film, but I did get used to the script, which was also good. TAYLOR: I have only the movie to go on. Although I nearly rolled my eyes a couple times, just when I thought Cohen was taking things ★

too far, he took them further and I wound up laughing. NITCHIE: I’m inspired by his new-age managerial and real time coaching techniques as the general manager of his love interest’s supermarket. I wonder if I will be allowed to change the name on my smock to “Supreme Grocer?” And as far as political satire goes, there certainly seems to be some merit to governance via a benevolent dictatorship (as I quickly swipe my hands in front of my throat in a cutting motion.) TAYLOR: Yikes, there goes your future mayoralship. –– Taylor gives The Dictator 3 failed executions out of 5. –– Nitchie gives it 3 pointy missiles out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Willie doesn’t give a puff about Nashville Willie Nelson: Heroes
H
eroes: an album of stoner country heaven. Maybe that’s a jump start but check this: “The road ain’t getting shorter/and the weed is gettin’ stronger” (No Place to Fly). You know that this line has been heard a few times on the Willie Nelson tour bus. But the sentiments are real and he’s no mere recycler. The lines aren’t cheap because the songs are easy, candid travelogues. Nelson is Dean Gordon-Smith who he is, honest, on No Place to Fly, a duet written with his son Luke who sings “Every day I get stoned/And I try to write a song.” It’s not a boast; it’s just a fact. Sometimes country isn’t always about Nashville and Nelson’s always been about the other side – more like the Oklahoma, Texas, California side: the
STREET SOUNDS
place where longhairs and non-conformists thrive. Heroes is lazy and rich and the songs have Nelson’s world-weary, resigned commentary through them. It doesn’t sound like too much work and that’s why it feels right. There are clichés: (Every Time He Drinks He Thinks of Her), but they work because they’re natural and Nelson isn’t a poseur. If there was any pressure put on Willie and crew during these sessions, somebody got the boot. Come on up to the House is reflective of this; a flowing gospel tune with Sheryl Crow. Nelson cops an El Paso ambiance on Heroes – a classic barroom guitar picker saga that’s a potential tearjerker that resolves smoothly. If The Eagles had smoked more weed and had told David Geffen to piss off, they could have sounded like this (The Sound of Your Memory). The album is full of funny, offhand phrases, and also cheesy, but great ones as well, “Come on back Jesus and pick up John Wayne on the way.” Nelson’s unpredictable, slippery guitar phrasing
Mountainfest cancelled for a second time MERRITT –– Another popular summer music festival has been cancelled for 2012. With the earlier announcements that both the Nakusp and Komasket Music Festivals will not be taking place this summer, the Merritt Mountain Music Festival, which was scheduled for July 19 to 22, is also not going ahead. This is the second time the festival has been cancelled in
three years, and the reason cited is low ticket sales. “Although ticket sales had shown the promise of a solid attendance number when going on sale back in October of 2011, sales slowed down considerably from then on, and have not rebounded thereafter causing for the organizers to re-think going ahead with the event with a poor turnout,” reads a message on the Mountainfest website.

backs up this wry take on religious country music with unintentional irreverence. The big surprise on Heroes is the treatment given the cover songs. Just Breathe by Pearl Jam and Coldplay’s The Scientist are both stately readings but Nelson’s tenor on The Scientist is a natural fit. He gives an already stellar song a shaky grace and vulnerability – a great offset to a warm and humorous album.

Lina joins the writer’s circle CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Lina Marley and Meow-Me are best friends. They play together, dance together and dream together. Now Meow-Me is the star of Lina’s first book, My Cat, illustrated by her mother, Susan Guttridge. Profits from the book are going to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Lina’s uncle, who died from cancer two years ago. “One day last year, I was mad at my little sister for squishing Meow-Me so I decided to write a story about her. I wrote it and showed it to my Mom,” said Lina, eight, a Grade 2 student at Mission Hill Elementary. Lina has written a lot of stories and her mother enjoys them all. “She brought me pages and pages. It was pretty amazing. Every night we worked on the pictures for the story,” said Guttridge, who did the playful paper collage illustrations. “Since we have lost some family members to cancer, we know how you can feel really helpless in the face of cancer, but now we feel we are doing something to help others.” Lina’s father, Derek Marley, added, “Our family members thought it was charming that Lina is giving the money to the cancer society. It means a lot to a lot of people.” It was special for Lina to see her story as a book. Her sister, Mia, three, likes the book, too. “The best part is the pictures my mom made,” said Lina. “Meow-Me is the best pet. She’s funny and soft and I can dress her up. She’s an amazing pet.” Lina will be at a book signing fundraiser Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at The Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium. She will also be at Relay for Life in Polson Park from 6 to 9 p.m. June 2. My Cat is also available at Gallery Vertigo, the Canadian Cancer Society, or by contacting mycat.fundraiser@gmail.com. The Canadian Cancer Society provides information, support, practical assistance and a summer camp for people who have cancer, as well as promoting healthy living policies to prevent cancer. For more information see cancer.ca.

Consie Severson rides her stationary bicycle for 24 hours in front of Ladies World today and Saturday in the Ride for Research to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society.
Consie Severson takes on her fourth 24-hour Ride for Research today. “Every year that I have done this has been special for me, but this year will be more special since I lost my sister to cancer in March,” said Severson, a four-year cancer survivor herself. “It will be a tough one, but I’ll pull through because it means so much to me that no on else has to go through what I did and what so many people do. There’ll be no stopping me.” Severson starts the ride on a stationary bike at Ladies World at 8:30 a.m. today and ends at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. There will be a barbecue, refreshments, kids’ activities, entertainment, a raffle, and a pancake breakfast. People are welcome to join her for however long they like on the two stationary bikes that will be set up beside her. “Some friends will be with me through the night and I’ve had lots of help so I’m well looked after and all I have to do is pedal. It’s all worth it,” she said. People can make donations to Ride for Research, which benefits the local Canadian Cancer Society, at the event or to Severson’s personal page online at cancer.ca.

Wife pays the price for the ex
D
ear Annie: I am married to “Chris,” a wonderful man. He was previously married and has major trust issues because of his ex-wife. I can handle most of this, but one thing has become worse over the past two years. Chris has this idea that I wear outfits that show too much skin and attract other men. But, Annie, I don’t wear clothes like that. In fact, I gave away whatever I used to own that he didn’t like (spaghetti straps, skirts above the knee, etc.). But he Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar still says I look “too provocative.” I wear only pants and highnecked shirts with sleeves, but it’s still not appropriate enough for him. I offered to let him shop for me, but he refuses. I don’t want to keep fighting about something so dumb — and that I know is due to his cheating ex-wife. But I have done as much as possible to show him I love and respect him. What more can I do? — Paying the Price for the Ex Dear Paying: Chris has become obsessed with controlling your appearance, and this is unhealthy. Right now, it wouldn’t matter what you wore. Since he is getting worse, we strongly urge you to
get some professional counseling, preferably together. Chris must learn to keep a lid on his insecurities so he can function more rationally, and a counselor will help you work on coping skills. If he doesn’t get a grip on this, it could escalate into something that threatens not only your marriage, but also your personal wellbeing. Dear Annie: My younger sister, “Debbie,” is planning a fall wedding. Our father and his wife have been severely addicted to pain pills for most of their 20-year marriage. They have attended birthday parties, barbecues and weddings completely looped. It’s not a pretty sight. Because of this (and other reasons), I chose to distance myself and have had little contact with them for 10 years. A few years ago, Debbie did the same because she was tired of being embarrassed, worried, stressed and scared for their health. Debbie doesn’t want to invite Dad to the wedding. She didn’t even want him to know about it, but he found out from other relatives. She shouldn’t have to worry about whether Dad is going to fall down at the ceremony because he is high, or whether he can keep his balance while being introduced to her new in-laws. Is this the right decision? — Bride’s Sister Dear Sister: Debbie does not have to invite Dad if doing so will spoil her day and make her miserable, but she should take responsibility for her decision and
ANNIE'S MAILBOX
tell him the reason. However, there is another possible solution. She could enlist the help of a reliable guest (or hire a professional sober companion) to be the “caregiver” for Dad and his wife, making sure they don’t get out of control and create a scene. Other readers have done this and found it quite helpful. Dear Annie: The letter from “Mom in Connecticut” brought back wonderful memories regarding thank-you notes. I am one of four children, now in our 50s and 60s. When we were younger, our parents had a hard and fast rule: We could play with or wear our gifts on the day we received them, but we could not touch them again until we had written our thank-you notes. Mom provided the notes and colored pencils, so that we could draw pictures until we were old enough to write more. This started when we were so young that we never knew any different. To this day, I send a handwritten thank-you note. I figure the gift-giver spent time and effort to select, purchase and send a gift to me. The least I can do to show my appreciation is send a personal note on real stationery. As my parents used to say, it’s what nice people do. — Born in Connecticut, Now in Arizona Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

Life Parents can turn their kids into gardeners LINDA BOYD Special to the Morning Star
Do your kids think peas come from a bag in the freezer? Do they know potatoes grow underground? Could they recognize a carrot growing if they saw the green tops poking out of the soil? A lot of parents and grandparents are realizing many of today’s children are growing up without an understanding of where their food really comes from. Perhaps you are a seasoned gardener or someone who has just started thinking about getting your hands dirty. I don’t have a lot of gardening experience myself, but I do try to grow a few things each year so my kids can
appreciate how food is grown. Whatever your gardening experience may be, spring has sprung and now is the perfect time to think about planting and growing with your children. Young children have a natural curiosity about the world around them and gardening is a perfect way to tie in valuable lessons like patience –– as they wait for vegetables to grow, responsibility, as they take over watering duties and the value of healthy eating, as children are often more enthusiastic about trying vegetables they have grown themselves. Gardening doesn’t necessarily require a plot of land or hours of weeding. Gardening can happen in containers on a balcony or patio. In fact, many garden plants such as herbs, lettuce, radishes, and tomatoes do very well in containers. Raised beds can eliminate the need for weeding and are great
for compact spaces. Try the square foot garden method and give your child a square of their own to care for. This popular method teaches gardening skills without being overwhelming. Watching a plant grow from a seed is like magic for young children, but slow germination rates can be trying for even the most patient child. Plant a mixture of seeds and potted plants to help keep their interest. Sunflowers and beans are fast growing plants from seed. My son started a sunflower from a seed at preschool last year and was absolutely amazed at how tall it grew; he was so proud to share the seeds with all of his little friends. If you lack suitable space to garden at home, consider renting a plot at a community garden. Involving your kids in a community garden exposes them to an amazing variety
of vegetables grown by many different gardeners. Kids and parents involved with community gardens also benefit from the wisdom of other gardeners. Connect with your local food action committee, community or health centre to find out if there is a community garden near you. If you have a child in school, ask if there is interest in starting a school garden. Planning for a school garden can start now and carry over into the fall so that the school garden will be ready to plant next spring. For information on school gardens see http:// healthyeatingatschool.ca/. These websites can help you and your kids start gardening: http://urbanext.illinois.edu/ firstgarden/ and http://www. kidsgardening.org/ Linda Boyd is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

remier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban
folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003. So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulation-repealing
decade of Gordon Campbell. But first an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Bennett presented the committee’s report last week, and one could see what was coming.
CHOOSE ONE: Check cardiac arrest patient’s oxygen level Assess a six year- old with head trauma Give pain med to burn victim Hire more nurses
With more patients than ever, nurses are forced to make difficult choices about who receives care first. When it comes to safer care, the choice is clear: hire more nurses.
Support better care at safecarenow.ca
Bennett is the rifletoting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep Tom Fletcher pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate. He was recently appointed by Clark to co-chair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. Conservative threat. Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy. That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees. The evidence boils down to this: these complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe. Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. society for decades. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines. We have people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged
B.C. VIEWS
on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides” is telling. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that. The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

Hydro rate increase small TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Despite controversial private power contracts and approval of two pricy dam refits, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced Tuesday. Coleman said the B.C. government is instructing the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per cent for the three-year period ending April 1, 2014. With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eight-per-cent hike, the 1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce planned rate increases by half. The smallest rate increase in Rich Coleman years is to take effect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the next provincial election. And the latest government instruction means a BCUC public hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed. Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said Tuesday the government’s move is the latest in a series of political interventions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the utility to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without review by the BCUC to see if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said. “This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Horgan said. Coleman launched a review of BC Hydro last year, after Clark spoke out against the prospect of a 50 per cent increase in hydro rates expected over five years. The review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff and in-house engineering, along with other cost-saving measures, would meet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below four per cent. But the BCUC’s rate hearings pushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increase repayment of debt that has been stacked up in recent years. Auditor General John Doyle issued a report last year that said the government was taking annual dividends from BC Hydro that were not justified by its earnings, and the utility was increasing deferred debt as a result. Coleman announced Tuesday that the province was able to reach its rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™
Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.
Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.” People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”
Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain. Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years. UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com
Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.” Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

Seniors schooled on safety Morning Star Staff
Anyone wanting to learn how to safely operate a motorized scooter can head back to class. Vernon’s Safe Communities Unit will hold a scooter course June 19 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. “This course is open to seniors and others with scooters, considering scooters and family members wishing to learn more about scooters as a means of transportation,” said Ed Howard, seniors program co-ordinator. “We welcome those with disabilities that operate other forms of ground transport such as motor assisted chairs.” An information session will focus on the safe operation of scooters, rules of the road and maintenance. “We then move outdoors where participants and family members may try the varying forms of pedestrian transportation that is available at the presentation,” said Howard. The course is free and pre-registration is suggested by calling 250550-7844.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll be sorry if you confuse wishful thinking with intuitive insights. If your hunches don’t play out, you’ll end up being unhappy and sorely disappointed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s more than likely that you might not be as good at reading the intentions of others as you think you are. Don’t make the mistake of judging your friends’ actions in advance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It might take a lot more effort than usual to convince your close associates that your idea and concepts are good. People in general tend to be a bit more skeptical than usual at this point. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Play it smart and don’t offer any unsolicited advice to co-workers regarding something you know little about. If you’re wrong, it’ll make you look bad. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Treat the property of others with the same care and respect you show to all your possessions. If a mishap should occur through carelessness, you will be held accountable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Don’t make the mistake of assuming your mate will automatically be in accord with you regarding a vital matter. Don’t be sorry afterward, check first and avoid some serious conflict. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Have all the instructions in front of you when attempting to do something new and difficult. If your
memory is faulty, you might not be able to correct any mistakes on your part. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Steer clear of an involvement in which the elements of chance are extremely pronounced. Regardless of how lucky you usually are, the odds might not hold up this time. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Your advice to someone who needs a lot of counsel might not be sound. In your desire to spare this person any pain, you might not be as frank as you should be. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Watch what comes out of your mouth very closely. Usually you’re pretty good at keeping promised secrets, but during this cycle you could easily slip and tell what you shouldn’t. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Sharpen up if you find yourself negotiating with a shrewd horse trader. If you are not careful, your desire to get a bargain could cause you to slip and negotiate in a way that works against you.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

3105 - 31st Street, Vernon
Bridge by Phillip Alder FINESSES ALWAYS LOSE IN COLUMNS David Cone, who pitched a perfect game for the New York Yankees in 1999, said, “I’m a finesse pitcher without the finesse.” In bridge, we have lots of finesses: regular, backward, ruffing, two-way, intra and so on. In theory, a simple finesse is a 50-50 shot at an extra trick. But in newspaper columns and classes, the probability that a finesse will succeed drops dramatically, perhaps to as low as 10 percent. A finesse will work only if it is needed. In this deal, South is faced with two finesses. Given that they will both lose, how can he still make four hearts after West leads
the spade queen? North’s two-no-trump response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise. South’s four-heart rebid showed a minimum opening bid with no singleton or void. South starts by counting losers and should see one in each suit. Of course, if either minor-suit finesse is winning, there won’t be a problem. But we just know that won’t happen. And if both finesses are failing, declarer must lose at least one heart, one diamond and one club. How can he avoid a spade loser? He must discard his third spade on dummy’s third club -- and there isn’t a moment to lose. After taking the first trick, South must cash his club ace, then lead the club
jack. (Yes, he could lead the club jack first, but why block the suit?) West wins and leads a second spade, but declarer takes that trick, plays a diamond to dummy’s ace, and discards his remaining spade on the club queen. Then he draws trumps as quickly as possible.
Anytime, Anywhere.

Elizabeth (Betty) Laidman Passed peacefully on May 21st 2012, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital after a brief illness. Predeceased by her late husband, David Laidman, loving mother of Peter Armitage (Barb) of Newfoundland, Jean Blackwell (Don) of Australia, and Julie Armitage (Vernon), grandmother of Pascal, Natalie, Meagan, Ainslie, Baptiste and Isolde, great grandmother to nine, special aunt to Leslie Chambers (Drew) and Doug Elton (Lori) and mother-in-law to Normand Belanger, loving cousin to Bob Sayce and other Welsh relatives, loving friend to so many, especially Diane Isman, and good friend to Mike Poirier. Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, 1928, Betty spent most of her childhood in Vancouver, B.C., where she attended University Hill School and UBC. It was while working at the UBC library in the late 1940s that she met her first husband Doug Armitage and her special sister-in-law, Jean. Her library work at the university generated a life-long interest in library science, and lead to future employment as an assistant librarian at Vernon Senior Secondary School. In 1976 she married her beloved David Laidman, a Vernon lad she met while at UBC. Betty and Dave enthusiastically pursued many mutual interests including natural history and conservation through the North Okanagan Naturalist Club, international travel, outdoor recreation, community arts, and life on the shores of Okanagan Lake. Betty had a wonderful sense of humour and was extremely gregarious which enabled her to build lasting friendships with many people she met during her travels. Great Britain, Mongolia, Russia, China, the Mediterranean, Australia, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Austria were some of the countries she travelled to. For many years one of her favourite destinations was the Cook Islands where she fell in love with the warm coral waters and local residents. She had first explored the Islands with David, which made them especially important. Betty last visited there in February 2012. The whole family would like to thank Ted Jordan and Ron Long for the wonderful care they gave her over the years. Ted was more than a doctor to her; he was also a close friend, confidant and relative through marriage. The family would also like to thank Dr. Murphy and the nursing staff at ICU, 2 West and Emergency at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for their immense compassion and phenomenal care. A special thank you to Diane Isman and Mike Poirier for all their support. You may join the family for a special celebration of Betty’s life at the Schubert Centre, on Sunday, 27 May 2012, starting at 2:00 pm. A memorial service will be followed by a reception to give thanks to Betty for all that she has given her family, friends and community over the years, and to thank everyone for their love, support and friendship.

Report sparking Kelowna response Black Press
Local frontline workers are issuing a call to action in light of a report that ranks Kelowna third nationwide for incidents of domestic violence. The Statistics Canada report released Tuesday shows Kelowna had 346 police-reported victims per 100,000 people in 2010, which places the city behind Saint John, N.B. and Saskatoon, Sask., respectively. It ranks first in B.C., followed closely by Abbotsford. “We have a community that needs to improve its response to family violence,” said Amy Thompson, co-ordinator of the Elizabeth Fry Society. “There are a lot of women living in intolerable, unsafe conditions, and so are their children. These statistics show the women who are coming forward to seek support and safety from the criminal justice system, but it doesn’t reflect what’s unreported.” Moving forward, Thompson said she’d like to see these stats used as fuel for funding resources that victims of abuse can access.
