We are currently waiting to complete the liquid waste management plan,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. Other issues that still await decisions are reducing the scope of the transit service and reducing handyDart hours. Council discussed overall staffing levels in private Monday, but, according to KPMG, the city appears to be appropriately staffed when compared to similar-sized communities. “There are no large abnormalities that have to be dealt with in staffing,” said Sawatzky, who added, though, that some changes could occur. KPMG recommended that Vernon amalgamate with neighbouring jurisdictions to create efficiencies, but council has received that option for information only and no action will be taken. “It requires the co-operation of the community neighbours and the provincial government and we have neither,” said Sawatzky.
Diamond Club Winner
A contentious road project has hit a speed bump in Vernon. City council decided Monday not to construct the Polson Greenway on 29th and 30th streets this year because tender pricing is higher Will Pearce than the budget. “We need to send industry the message that we will not build projects at any cost,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “We will build projects at reasonable costs.” The project between 41st and 43rd avenues has an approved budget of $1 million. However, nine tender packages were received and based on those, the price climbed to $1.5 million. The Polson Greenway, which is supposed to become an east-west commuter route, could proceed in 2014 but it will all depend on finances next year. Mayor Rob Sawatzky believes the project will eventually proceed. “It’s a high priority because of the state of the sewer (infrastructure),” he said. “We will have to deal with it at some point.” Coun. Bob Spiers welcomed Monday’s deferral for a project he has described as cosmetic. “I’m happy because I don’t want the process to go forward this year,” he said.

Traffic is backed up along Highway 97 south just outside of Vernon as fire crews hose down a Chevy Trailblazer on the side of the highway Tuesday afternoon after it caught fire while being towed being a motorhome. The owner, a south Surrey man visiting the area, was uninjured and his motorhome was spared damage.
Gunshot fired during Cherryville dispute A domestic dispute near Cherryville that included at least one shot being fired ended peacefully with an arrest. Police were called to a domestic disturbance at a home on Highway 6 near Cherryville between a 23-year-old man and his 25-year-old girfriend shortly before 8 p.m. Saturday. “The man had been drinking during the day and his behaviour had become erratic,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “At about 7:40 p.m., the girlfriend was making an attempt to leave the residence with their two-month-old child. “A friend had come to pick her up from the house. As they were loading the child

into the vehicle, the suspect came out of the house with a firearm. He pointed it at the friend who was holding the child.” Molendyk said the woman who came to get the friend brought her child with her as well, and the suspect pointed the firearm at the two women and the two children. According to police, the man then pointed the firearm at the vehicle tire, and shot it out, and then made indications that he wished to harm himself. “The two women and the two children were able to get out safely and uninjured,” said Molendyk, stating that one of the women drove the vehicle with a flat tire to get out of the residence. “They met up with police and were taken to Vernon.” The man then fled in a Green Jeep
appearance Monday on charges of dangerous use of a firearm, mischief to endanger life, cause pursuit, point firearm, as well as unlawful possession of a firearm.

Containment was established and a police emergency response team and helicopter were called in to assist with locating and arresting the suspect. “The man was arrested at about 7:45 a.m. on Sunday without incident,” said Molendyk.

Quick action douses blaze Jennifer Smith

Vernon firefighters tackled a structure fire in the 4900 block of Heritage Drive early Sunday morning.
Morning Star Staff
Firefighters were quick to keep history from repeating itself in Vernon early Sunday morning. Crews were called to a Heritage Drive townhouse complex called The Rock, which is built on the site where fire destroyed an apartment building several years ago. This time, crews kept the fire, which started in the kitchen of a unit, from spreading to neighbouring units. Vernon Fire Rescue crews were called to the blaze shortly after 3 a.m. “The neighbours had awoken to a noise and looked out and saw what appeared to be a glow coming from inside,” said Jack Blair, deputy chief of operations. They then knocked

extensive damage to the kitchen. The unit next door suffered smoke damage also.” Emergency Support Services was called in to assist those affected until restoration is completed in the homes. Blair says the fire appears to be accidental in nature.

“It doesn’t appear to be suspicious.” The Rock is a newer townhouse complex with development still ongoing. It is the site of an apartment building that was destroyed by fire in the ‘90s. “A number of years ago the whole thing burned down,” said Blair.

Public tips sought on purse theft roger knox Morning Star Staff
Vernon RCMP are appealing to the public to help catch a purse snatcher. A 64-year-old woman waiting for a ride at the Greyhound Bus Depot at 8:30 p.m. Sunday had her purse snatched from her hands by an unknown male suspect. “The lady had a hold of the strap but it snapped during the theft,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A witness called police to Gord Molendyk report the theft and chased the suspect to 32nd Street where he was able to grab the purse from the suspect. The witness said the suspect continued on running towards the Civic Arena. “Extensive patrols were made for the suspect with negative results,” said Molendyk. The woman’s purse was returned and she told police there was some money missing.
The man is described as Caucasian, approximately five-foot four, slight build, a short buzz cut, in his late 20s and was wearing a blue plaid buttonup shirt, blue jeans, dark-coloured baseball cap and black, very-worn shoes. Police are hoping the public will be able to assist in identifying this possible suspect from the description that was provided. “This is very disconcerting,” said Molendyk of the incident. “Here we have a woman waiting for a ride and an individual whips a purse right out of her hand. Anybody should be able to walk peacefully within this community without having to worry about having their purse ripped off.” Anyone with any information is asked to call the RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Charge laid in fatal Morning Star Staff
A charge has been laid in connection with the death of a 17-year-old Vernon cyclist in 2012. Mercedes Mari-Lynne Fraser was killed Aug. 17 when the bike she was riding was struck by a car at 25th Avenue and 37th Street at about 6:30 a.m. Fraser, who was getting set to enter Grade 12 at Fulton Secondary, was working for the summer at the Vernon Army Camp and was also delivering The Morning Star. She was in the bicycle lane at the time of the accident. Rose Harman, 68, has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act with driving with undue care and attention. She is slated to make her first court appearance in June.
Dr. Sean Bicknell and Dr. Karl Denk are pleased to welcome Dr. Isabelle Henri to the practice. Dr. Henri brings many years experience in all facets of family dentistry, and is excited to now call Vernon home.

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows
Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.
Is There a Solution?
Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

The Corporation of the
City of Vernon Notice To Residents: City of Vernon contractors will be starting the spring weed control program. What are the goals and objectives of the City’s weed control program? The City’s goal is to control weeds and grasses which may impair traffic visibility, damage road asphalt surfaces, and result in safety issues for pedestrians and cyclists. The city controls weeds with mechanical trimming which includes roadside tractor mowing, weed line trimming and a spray program for weeds on paved road surfaces with concrete curb and gutter. What areas are mowed by the City? Road shoulders in all areas of the City of Vernon including the OK Landing and Blue Jay are maintained by contract. The road shoulders are mowed with a tractor equipped with a flail mower. This work is performed three times a year. Hand line trimming is included in the program to maintain pedestrian walkways.
Targeting homophobia Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Loving someone is supposed to be a cherished thing, something people are proud of and want to, “proclaim from the rooftops.” But for many gay and lesbian couples, that is still not the case. Despite an increased acceptance of same sex couples, discrimination still exists, forcing many to hide their love from society. “People still refer to it as a lifestyle and it’s not, it’s just about who you love,” said Alison Dennis, a part of the North Okanagan Gay and Lesbian Organization. Dennis uses a very real example in her workplace, one that took place just four years ago when she tried to have anti-discrimination language adopted by the school board she worked for. “A school trustee came to my school, took me aside and said, ‘It’s wrong to be gay.’” Dennis has never been ashamed of who she is, but those words

How is the weed spray applied? Weed spray is applied with a fine-tipped applicator in the lowest possible concentration directly onto the target weed. It is sprayed in favorable weather conditions, ie. no rain and little wind by qualified vegetation control contractors.

brought her shame. It’s a mindset that
Perfectly Efficient
How often is spray chemical applied to control weeds? There are two spray applications each year. The timing of the applications are based on the life cycle of the various weeds and grasses being targeted. Generally, the first application is in early May, followed by the second application in late August. Only vegetation that creates a hazard to pedestrians and cyclists or has the potential to damage infrastructure is targeted.
What obligations do residents have for grass/weed control in the City? The City of Vernon Good Neighbour Bylaw # 4980, requires property owners and residents to maintain the boulevard(s) and lane adjacent to their property. The City does not provide this service and does not include any funds in the budget for this work. The City encourages property owners and residents to maintain the boulevards for the beautification of our city and the enjoyment of all.

many still have, but through efforts of NOGLO and larger organizations, work is continually being done to battle the discrimination. “We’re not past it, we still have a great number of issues in society.” Fr i d ay is International Day Against Homophobia and to raise awareness about the issue, NOGLO is hosting a social at Squires Four Pub at 6 p.m. “It’s about providing a safe harbour and support,” said Dennis of NOGLO’s efforts. “There might also be some curious community members who say, ‘oh I’ll go support that.’” Everyone is welcome
to attend the social. Arne Kirkeby, who founded NOGLO with his late partner Chris, says despite increased acceptance of gay marriages, discrimination is still alive. “Just because you have the legal right means nothing. People’s mindsets are still strong. “They picture us with our radars on and we’re looking for our next sexual partner,” said Kirkeby. “That’s not it at all.” But, he adds, the community (and society in general) has come a long way. Arne and Chris, former Calgary residents, moved to Vernon in the ‘90s. “There was absolutely nothing for gay people here.” So through just word of mouth, the couple put up the money for the first gay and lesbian dance which was an overwhelming success as about 300 people attended. “It was so nice to go and dance...and not be afraid,” recalls Dennis. Dances continued, acceptance grew and then Chris and Arnie publicly proclaimed their own love for each other and were married. “We invited anyone from the church to come,” said Kirkeby. “There were over 500 people so obviously we were accepted.” Acceptance is something that is still strived for, and it’s obvious that some are still afraid to let the world know who they love. One NOGLO couple wasn’t comfortable sharing their full names with The Morning Star, for fear that it might hurt their business.

City officials take aim at economic report richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon insists the local economy isn’t as bad as a national study suggests. Monday’s council meeting provided an opportunity for officials to once again question a Conference Board of Canada report that states Vernon’s economy has contracted for five consecutive years. “I don’t see it as valid,” said Kevin Poole, economic development manager. According to the Conference Board of Canada, Vernon’s total gross domestic product went from $2.1 million in 2005 to $1.5 million in 2012. However, Poole says
“The fee is close to $4,000 to get a copy.” — Kevin Poole
GDP is generally only calculated for nations and provinces and not communities because the sample size is too small. The Conference Board also states Vernon’s total jobs declined from 31,300 in 2005 to 19,000 in 2012. Poole says the labour force data is also based on too small of a sample size. “We’ve reached out to other statistical agen-
cies to comment on the validity of this,” said Poole of the Conference Board report, adding that more relevant economic factors would have been building permits, housing starts and demographics. A frustration for Poole is the city has not seen the report and has only been advised of its content by the media. “The fee is close to $4,000 to get a copy of the report,” he said.
The fact that the Conference Board has not made access to the document widespread also concerns Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “It’s a real shame that an organization would release such a study to the press without releasing its contents to the community involved,” he said, adding that Vernon’s economy has endured the recession. “Nothing in the data

Decisions, decisions
t doesn’t appear that Vernon city hall will be plastered in pink slips. Council started making decisions about the core services review Monday, and among them were recommendations from consultant KPMG about staffing. Those discussions were held behind closed doors but we can get a sense of the possible direction based on an analysis from Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “According to the KPMG findings and specific recommendations, the corporation appears to be appropriately staffed when compared to like municipalities and in consideration of expected service levels,” Pearce writes. It is also a view upheld by Mayor Rob Sawatzky. “There are no large abnormalities that have to Richard Rolke be dealt with in staffing,” he said. Now this runs against the opinion of some residents who consider city hall to be bloated and bureaucratic. In his analysis, Pearce, who was hired in 2012, does acknowledge, “there was a significant (hiring) growth period, 2007-2009 inclusive. This tapered off through 2010-12 and will show a decline in 2013.” City figures indicate there were 244 full-time equivalent employees in 2007, with that jumping to 269 in 2008, 297 in 2009, 310 in 2010, 317 in 2011 and 321 in 2012. Approved positions for 2013 are 303. Some of the payroll hike can be attributed to the pre-recession boom the community was experiencing. With development taking off, there was a need for planners and engineers. Also, the city took over some previously regional responsibilities like economic development, tourism and operation of the arenas. Other positions were created based on com-

munity wants. As an example, the official community plan process identified public interest in promoting alternate forms of transportation as a way of easing traffic congestion and improving the environment. That led to a transportation demand management co-ordinator being hired. In another case, concerns about crime led to more bylaw enforcement officers and support staff at the RCMP to help with records. Now it should be pointed out that Pearce didn’t wait for the KPMG report to start paring back. A senior management position (safe communities) has been eliminated, one water services management position is gone and six water staff were transferred to the regional district. There may be fewer parks workers as the city no longer looks after Coldstream parks under contract. Numbers are numbers and yes it looks like there are a lot of bodies at city hall. But consider that Vernon has a population of 38,150 and all of those residents have wants and needs — whether it is road sweeping, lifeguards at the Peanut Pool, zamboni drivers at the arenas or ensuring sewer lines don’t back up. I should also note that after two decades of hanging around city hall, I have discovered that there are a lot of individuals who are not only good at their jobs but are committed to their community. Ultimately, there are adjustments that can be made to staffing levels, and we may find out some of those as early as Thursday when council discusses the core review again. However, anyone in the public who was expecting a repeat of Penticton, where a core review led to widespread layoffs, will be extremely disappointed. That said, those residents, along with anyone else who lives in Vernon, plays a role in labour costs by placing demands on the municipality. No one likes paying taxes, but what services are you willing to give up?
With food, transportation and housing costs rising, sticking to the family budget is become increasingly more difficult in B.C. According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, it takes two parents earning $19.62 an hour — each — to support a family of four. The annual recalculation of the so-called “living wage” found the hourly rate necessary to cover rent, child care, food and transportation (after government taxes and levies) jumped 48 cents from $19.14 last year — that’s the equivalent of 2.5 per cent, or nearly double the rate of inflation. We all know that housing costs are to blame for some of this burden, but the CCPA study found that rising child care costs, food prices and a four per cent jump in Medical Services Plan premiums were also to blame. The problem is, many working parents don’t even make that “living wage.” How are families coping? Studies have shown there are increasing numbers of families in “core need,” meaning that their housing costs are so high and their incomes so low that they are at constant risk of homelessness. More people are also using the food bank. Other families, whose wages are more in keeping with the limit suggested by CCPA, are making some difficult choices to stretch their dollars. They have given up on the idea of a second car, for example, or the dream of an athome parent and are turning to creative housing choices. More and more families are living in condominiums and basement suites, and those who can afford to own a single-family home are renting out the basement. Meanwhile, per capita debt, although stabilizing, is still high, suggesting that the Canadian dream, while not dead, is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain. — Black Press

New pathway lacks planning
t was clear to me from the beginning that the pathway built from city hall to the cenotaph, after the medical building had been pulled down, seriously lacked thought and planning. There are two points to me that I would love someone to explain to me on how the decision to incorporate them in the plan came about. A. The pathway winds its way through the area and when it meets the road at the bus staging area, the path and the clearly marked crosswalk at the road do not match up. The crosswalk is the width of the path away from matching the path. There's no sloped drop in the sidewalk at that area to make it easy for mothers pushing strollers to cross the road at what to me would be the obvious spot. B. At the point where the pathway crosses the back alley from the Greyhound depot to the road at 31st Avenue, there is absolutely no signage informing vehicles or pedestrians what they are crossing. To me, that is an accident waiting to happen.
relay for life I am writing this note on my brand new iPad. Scotiabank generously donated it as a draw prize for the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life. I love the iPad, although I definitely did not need an incentive to join Relay for Life. In reality, I would give 1,000 iPads to have just one more minute with my Aunt Gayle, for my cousins to have the opportunity for one last reassuring hug from their mother, and for my own mom to heartily laugh just one more time alongside her little sister. Less than a year ago, my Aunt Gayle, a breast cancer survivor, participated in the Relay for Life. She was exhausted after the relay and decided to visit her family doctor. Within days, she was diagnosed with acute leukemia. Gayle was determined to win her second battle with cancer. She fought hard and we even vowed to run the Relay for Life together this year. Unfortunately, the cancer was just too strong, even for Gayle. She will be running with me in spirit this year. Our family has formed the Midnight Ramblers to honour Gayle and, more importantly, to raise funds for the thousands of individuals, right here in B.C., who are currently fighting their own battles with cancer. Money raised from Relay for Life goes directly to research, support services and prevention initiatives.
The above accident almost happened to me recently. Walking downtown, coming through the park, at the back alley from city hall to the bus depot, at the alley to cross, the vision to the left is almost nil. I came to cross the alley and at that time, a Range Rover came along from the Greyhound bus depot at a considerable speed. I saw it and stopped. It braked hard, I crossed and it took off again at considerable speed. Had it been a small child, the outcome would in all probability have been very different as a small child would probably not stopped or been seen. I was a little bit shaken up myself. There needs to be a stop sign on the alley for vehicular traffic as there is very definitely a blind spot for seeing pedestrians. Please inspect this for yourself and watch out for speeding cars. valerie redstone
We like to think we are invincible; that cancer will not affect our own families; that somehow love alone can keep it at bay. If only this were true. My mom, who had her kidney removed due to renal carcinoma, also has chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis; my brother had his thyroid and lymph nodes removed just over a year ago; my father has melanoma. Every year, it seems our family gets a new diagnosis, and we charge ahead. We are not unique, though, and this is why it is so incredibly important to support the Canadian Cancer Society. Cancer does not discriminate. Just recently, I learned of a toddler at my daughters' day care who has been diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer. As a mother, I cannot fathom being faced with such a challenge. I also cannot think of a better reason to donate, to volunteer, or to participate in the Relay for Life. Visit relaybc.ca or contact Sarb Tatla-Low (statlalow@bc.cancer.ca) to learn more. Sarb Tatla-low downTown reviTalizaTion In response to G.C. Robertson's letter regarding the 30th Avenue revitalization project and to Vernonites in general. What is being done to enhance downtown? New water and sewer lines are being installed to replace the exist-
ing lines which are old and deteriorating. These must be done in any case. Wider, more pedestrian-friendly sidewalks will be installed and a great many more planted areas put in. There will be trees again. If you take time to look, there are drawings of the finished concept posted at various places along the blue fencing. Check it out. One thing most people don't know is that some of the bigger trees had core rot. Should we have waited for a wind storm to bring them down on a passing motorist or, worse, passing pedestrian? Since the underground work had to be done anyways, it just makes sense to do the entire spruce-up at once. It is far more cost-effective and less disruptive in the long run. I, for one, am happy to see the improvements. Our main street will be easily identified, end to end, for all of the tourists that visit our fair city, as well as those of us who live here. It makes for a vibrant downtown. Joan Carlson Traffic control professional lake diSCharge A word of caution to city council on dealing with the latest spray irrigation challenge. Several city councils over several decades had the foresight and courage
to establish and maintain a revolutionary method of treated waste water management in order to prevent using Okanagan Lake as a dumping ground for Vernon's sewage. With their willingness over the years and the ingenuity of the experts they consulted, they overcame great obstacles: economic, geographic, climatic, and fear of the unknown, and created a wonderful program sensitive to our environment, one that worked and made this community proud, made this city stand out above all others connected to Okanagan Lake. Please, don't be the one city council in so many years to spoil that. Don't be the one city council to sellout Okanagan Lake for a lousy million dollars a year. If it is costing too much, fix it, don't torpedo it. Sometimes doing the right thing takes effort and involves cost. I think this is one cost taxpayers are very willing to bear, and it is an effort that is well worth continuing. Consider this negative recommendation by KPMG and you will be strongly opposed. Kick it aside and I for one will cheer you on. I'm surprised council did not stipulate a hands-off spray irrigation condition before this core services review was undertaken. Surprised and sickened. Show me you know better. John J. Clarke

Public asked to steer clear of deer roger knox Morning Star Staff

Local conservation officials are alerting the public that it is now the time of year when orphaned wildlife such as deer fawns are often happened upon by the

likely to re-adapt being with their mother.� If you come across a baby deer, leave it alone and let nature take its course. “Wildlife parks are full and will not be accepting numerous amounts of fawns that people pick up on the side of the road or in their yard,� said Lockwood. If you come across
a fawn you believe is in distress, Lockwood said to call the wildlife biologist with the ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations at 250-4908200, and they will give you advice on what to do. Lockwood also reminds residents it’s that time of year when bears are waking up from their slumber,

not to leave pet food out if you want to keep bears out of your yard. If your yard is fenced, he said, make sure the gate is closed. If you don’t want bears in your unfenced yard, fence it. “It does help,� said Lockwood. “Bears typically take the path of least resistance.�
Road Safety Week enforced roger knox Morning Star Staff
Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP’s traffic services and integrated road safety unit members got a head start on Canada Road Safety Week (May 13-20). Road Safety Week is a national campaign aimed at making Canada’s roads the safest in the world. On May 9, three members conducted an aggressive driving enforcement campaign on Highway 97 near Gord Molendyk Oyama. “Over the course of two hours, 30 violation tickets were issued for speeding along with six tickets for not having a valid licence or other traffic offences,� said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Two vehicles were impounded for seven days and their drivers were charged with excessive speed for travelling 45- and 53-km/h in excess of the posted 90 km/h speed limit. They were trumped Saturday when another vehicle was impounded for the excessive speed of 114 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. “That’s 64 km/h over the speed limit, at night, and he was passing cars through a turn lane,� said Molendyk. Road Safety Week is a police initiative designed to remind people that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways. Educating the public about safe driving practices is a priority. “The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road users most at risk,� said Molendyk. “These are impaired driving, seat belt use, and all aspects related to aggressive and distracted driving. All enforcement agencies across the country have been invited to participate.�

Officers on backroad patrol roger knox Morning Star Staff
Long weekend back country enthusiasts should be aware that local conservation officers will be on patrol. Sgt. Josh Lockwood, North Okanagan NCO conservation operations supervisor, said Monday officers will be actively patrolling forest service roads, recreation camp sites and local lakes. “Our focus will mainly be on ATVs,” said Lockwood. “ATVs on forest service roads require insurance, which is fairly inexpensive and can be purchased at local dealers or from the B.C. Wildlife Federation.” Anybody caught using an uninsured ATV will be subject to a $345 fine. “It’s a lot cheaper to buy the insurance,” said Josh Lockwood Lockwood. Officers will also be checking out sites that are popular for hosting high school grad parties. “We’ll be concentrating on particular areas where we’ve had problems in the past,” said Lockwood. “Places such as Cook Creek, Hidden Valley and Cottonwood, as well as the Aberdeen Plateau where they get lots of environmental damage from mud bogging.” Conservation officers will also be keeping an eye out for people doing wilful damage to forest service property. They are seeking information about an incident that occurred over the winter at the Bear Creek off-road vehicle recreation area off of Westside Road near Kelowna, where a $3,000 newly installed toilet was shot up by a vandal. “They found more than 30 spent shotgun casings outside the toilet. Lucky thing nobody was in it at the time,” said Lockwood. “It cost $3,000 to install and now it will cost the forest service and taxpayers another $3,000 to replace it, all because somebody shot it up.” Anybody with any information on the incident is asked to call the B.C. Wildlife report line at 1-877-952-7277, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477. One other thing local conservation officers want to remind people of is the discarding of cigarettes from vehicles. There have already been a couple of spot fires reported believed to have been started by a discarded cigarette.

Program seeks new recruits Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s RCMP Citizens Patrol program is looking for a few good men and women. Volunteers are currently being sought for the next round of training June 11 to 13. “For over 20 years, our Citizens Patrol has helped to minimize the amount of crime occurring throughout our city,” said Regan Borisenko, crime prevention coordinator. “The volunteers are extra eyes and ears for the RCMP.” Duties involve patrolling streets, business areas and parks, as well as reporting and recording suspicious activities. Volunteers are also responsible for the Speed Watch program. “Being a proactive member of the community and assisting
“The volunteers are extra eyes and ears...”
— Regan Borisenko police is the No. 1 duty of the Citizens Patrol,” said Borisenko. In 2012 the 49 members of Citizens Patrol: n Volunteered more than ,4328 hours patrolling, training and at special events n Worked 278 patrol shifts and 92 Speed Watch operations n Patrolled more than 30,000 kilometres in Vernon. n In the course of their duties, they have checked 57,175 license plates to determine if they were stolen.
“The age of volunteers in our group varies from 20 to 80 years,” said Borisenko. “In preparation for training, these volunteers will undergo interviews covering security and program interests. Training involves developing patrol skills, note taking, court processes, working with partner agencies including the RCMP, bylaws and ICBC, observations skills and report writing just to name a few.” After their classroom training, the new candidates complete six patrols with experienced volunteers who will mentor them on the practical aspects of the program.

fires that exceed the size specified for campfires (0.5-metres-by-0.5-metres). n Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. n The use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. “This prohibition covers all B.C. Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but it does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department,” said Pepper. “Before lighting any fire, residents should check with local civic authorities regarding any current prohibitions.” Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, in B.C. dial *5555 on a cellphone or call 1-800663-5555.

The risk of wildfire is leading to expanded regulations. Effective noon today, May 15, the size of open fires will be restricted in most of the Kamloops Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. “Since April 1, Kamloops Fire Centre crews have responded to 43 humancaused wildfires, the largest of which has grown to about 1,400 hectares in size,” said Kayla Pepper, with the Wildfire Management Kayla Pepper Branch. “Many of these fires resulted from poorly planned open burning.” Anyone conducting category two or three fires in the region must extinguish any such fires by noon today. This prohibition will remain in effect until Oct. 15 or until further notice. Specifically, prohibited activities include: n The burning of any waste, slash or other materials (piled or unpiled). n The burning of more than one open fire of any size at the same time. n The burning of recreational and ceremonial

Enderby offering up tour Morning Star Staff
Enderby residents can get a better understanding of how critical public utilities operate. The city will host a guided tour of the waste water treatment plant May 23 from 10 to 10:45 a.m., with participants meeting at the public works building at 2308 McGowan St. There will also be an open house at the water treatment facility, 700 Railway St. from 11 a.m. to noon. “Participants will see how water is collected, treated and distributed throughout the community as well as the process it undergoes once it has gone down the drain and entered the city’s sanitary sewer system,” said Kurt Inglis, assistant corporate officer. “Both events are open to the public and participants will be provided with food, refreshments and water conservation themed gifts.” The city is also partnering with M.V. Beattie Elementary School for Drinking Water Week to provide a water conservation art contest. Winners from each grade will receive prizes.

Westshore under water advisory Morning Star Staff
The Regional District of Central Okanagan has issued a precautionary water quality advisory for residents served by the Westshore Estates utility. The advisory affects almost 250 properties connected to the community water system adjacent to Westside Road. “Increased turbidity in the water system source has resulted in water quality that might impact children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems,” said Bruce Smith, communications officer. “Interior Health has been contacted and while the health risk is modest and no bacteria have been found in any of the water from
the system tested, regional district staff recommend, as a precaution, that Westshore water customers follow Interior Health guidelines.” All water intended for drinking, washing fruits and produce, making
beverages or brushing teeth should be boiled for at least one minute or customers should use a safe alternative to water from the tap such as bottled or distilled water or water filtered through a well-maintained inhome treatment device.

Enjoy symphonic mayhem Sunday British tradition promenades its way to Vernon
S
ymphony newcomers are sometimes apprehensive about whether they’ll understand the music, or know the etiquette for a concert, or what they should wear. They learn that it’s proper to be respectful, appreciative, but above all, never to clap in the wrong place. But this season’s closing concert by the Okanagan Symphony Jim Elderton (Sunday at 7 p.m.) will be different. For those who have never seen one live or on TV, be assured that The Last Night of the Proms is a celebration. Dress outrageously, let your hair down, be loud, and be visible. Bring a flag to wave, the bigger the better. Ideally the Union Jack, but the Maple Leaf is OK — also something to rattle or blow. And if you’re sitting close enough, throw paper streamers at conductor and music director Rosemary Thomson. The Okanagan Symphony Chorus will be coordinated by Joanne Forsyth, and the guest artist will be Dawn Mussellam, soprano. I’ve also been told that one major celebrity will be in attendance. The promenade concerts have an illustrious pedigree.
ClassiCal Notes
Prommers sing Land of Hope and Glory at the Royal Albert Hall during The Last Night of the Proms. In 1895, Sir Henry Wood started open-air concerts in London parks, where people could promenade with light classical music as a background. But soon the music became the important element, eventually the BBC became involved, and in 1941, Sir Henry Wood brought the concerts to The Royal Albert Hall. The Proms comprise an eightweek summer season of daily orchestral classical concerts and events, 70 in the Albert Hall alone. There are concerts for special audiences — there’s even a Dr.
Who Prom. In the classical music world, The Proms are the world’s largest and most democratic musical festival. The tradition of “Promming” remains an essential part of the experience. The Albert Hall has more than 1,000 standing places. All the arena seats (orchestra stalls) are removed and more standing room is in the gallery. Promming tickets cost just $10, and many consider these to be the best because of closeness to the orchestra. (Even though you’re

standing for three hours!) Daily tickets are only available at the door, providing access to otherwise sold-out concerts, especially the Last Night. It’s quite normal for Prommers to line up all day, and for the last night some sleep outside for three weeks as to get the best standing positions. There’s even a voluntary committee to police lineup etiquette: Anyone caught “saving a space” for late-comers is sent to the back of the line. Nowadays, the number of
London concerts exceeds 100, so it’s hardly surprising that the Last Night is cause for celebration. It’s a chance for concert-lovers to go crazy, but in the nicest possible way. The first half is always played straight. For Vernon there’s glorious music planned: nine short pieces including Handel’s Zadok The Priest, and Where’er You Walk (both are coronation pieces); also the Anvil Chorus from Verdi’s Il Trovatore. The first movement of Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite will be led by a special guest conductor. Bob Walker was given the opportunity as an auction item. He’s also a violinist and will later join the violin section. The fun starts in the second half. A boating theme introduces three solos from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, leading to the first classic Prom favourite: Fantasia on British Sea Songs with its legendary clarinet cadenza: Lastly Paddle Your Own Canoe. Then follows another Prom classic: Parry’s Jerusalem, England’s unofficial anthem, much used at sporting events. It’s a sing-along and the words will be in the programme. The grand finale is Elger’s Pomp and Circumstance March #1, better known as Land of Hope and Glory. Before the concert starts, Thomson will be working with the chorus, so the pre-concert talk (6 p.m. in the Marie Fleming Hall, by donation) will be by yours truly. Advance tickets are as usual available at the theatre box office, 250-549-7469, at the door from 6 p.m., and online at www.ticketseller.ca.
Prairie songstress tours on release of new album dedicated to her aunt Morning Star Staff
Edmonton roots/soul musician Lindsey Walker is in Vernon Saturday in support of her just released debut recording in dedication to her aunt, one of many missing women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside The album’s title track, Our Glory, traces Walker’s emotional journey in discovering
her aunt, Gloria, had been missing from home for more than 20 years, a suspected victim of serial murderer Robert Pickton. “I will never forget the moment I realized my aunt, my own flesh and blood, was a suspected victim of the Pickton murders,” said Walker in a press release. “I found a police poster online with her photo, which read

missing since 1993... She was only 27 years old when she went missing. In that instant I knew I had to dedicate myself to learning as much as I could about East Vancouver as well as the missing women.” It wasn’t consciously planned to have Our Glory released 20 years after the disappearance of her aunt, but Walker believes

that it was meant to happen that way. “So many strange coincidences have come along with this album. I feel that my aunt Gloria is around during this whole process. It’s pretty magical,” she said. Walker performs at the Talkin’ Donkey Coffee House Saturday at approximately 7 p.m.

Shake those hips to jazz club DVOIRA YANOVSKY For The Morning Star
High energy, syncopated hipshaking Cuban rhythms rock the Vernon Jazz Club this Saturday with Babalu. Babalu is Sandy Cameron, flute and sax, Arianne Charon, bass and vocals, Jordan Dick, guitar, Jim Johnston, keyboards, and Jeremy Tymkiw, percussion. Merengue, salsa, bossa nova, samba, mambo, rhumba, Babalu plays all those sweet Afro-Cuban rhythms. They also like to mix in some straight ahead, hard driving swing. The band’s repertoire includes Latin tunes like Chan Chan, Olga La Tamalera, El Cumbanchero, Cubano Chant, and Mambo Influenciado. Featured Latin American composers include Antonio Carlos Jobim, Rafael Hernandez, Sergio Mendez, Tito Puente, and Chucho Valdes. Babalu also revs up some classic jazz standards Afro-Cuban style, including tunes by Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Bryant, Sonny Rollins, and Horace Silver, to name a few. Nominal band leader is Okanagan favourite Sandy Cameron. “Our band doesn’t really have a leader. We work things out together in rehearsal,” said Cameron. Cameron credits his fellow musicians with setting the pace. “My role in the band is secondary in a way, as all I have to do is play melodies on my sax or flute. The amazingly complicated rhythms are accomplished by the other four players,” said Cameron. Babalu’s music is quite rhythmically complex.

Salmon Arm band Babalu play some Afro-Cuban jazz, salsa, and other Latin American rhythms at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. “The bass player plays a very syncopated line, the drummer plays a steady counterpoint, while the pianist and guitarist are often playing different but complimentary lines. The sax lays down a melody on top,” said Cameron. Cameron appeared recently this season at the VJC with Sax Trio plus Three and The Dharma Dolls. His busy schedule includes booking and providing much of the inspiration for the Jazz Club of Salmon Arm. Cameron also performs with the Dixieland band The Cliff Jumpers. Born and raised in Cuba, bassist Charon attended the best music schools in Havana. Previous projects include D’talle, a wellknown Cuban all-woman band. Since moving to Canada in 2004, Charon has travelled across the country performing in festivals like Toronto’s Street Festival and the Montreal Jazz Festival.
Charon also teaches dance, specializing in the Cuban tradition of salsa. Originally from Hamilton, Ont., guitarist Jordan Dick now lives in Salmon Arm. He plays in The Salmon Armenians and fronts his own band Thick as Thieves. A student of Bob Shiels, Lorne Lofsky, and Pat Collins, Dick’s musical interests include modern jazz, improvisation and composition. His song Sambaticus Ambiguous will be a featured original that evening. Keyboardist Johnston is a retired school music teacher in Salmon Arm. He does a lot of the arranging for Babalu. Johnston performs with Vernon’s Mark Rose Big Band, Kamloops bar band Serious Dogs, and The Cliff Jumpers. He’s also co-director of the Salmon Arm Community Concert band and in his spare time has several music students. Tymkiw has studied Cuban rhythmic styles for several years. Besides the regular drum kit, Tymkiw also plays foot clave, cabasa, and conga. Although AfroCuban music is his favourite, Tymkiw also plays with several other groups such as Bender, Blue Scarlett, The Hoodoos, The Jordan Dick Trio, and Tamba. Babalu takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000 31st St. (above Nolan’s Pharmasave), Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 and tickets are $20 (with rebates at the door for jazz society members) at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup or order online at www. vernonjazzclub.ca.

Beats pound for long weekend Morning Star Staff
Those looking for some sweet, somewhat nutty sounds to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday need not look further than Vernon when three DJs hit their decks. Performing at Club 2929 Saturday, renowned electro house producer Hirshee headlines and will pump out his hits featuring a dynamic blend of melodic prowess, memorable vocals, and Hirshee complex, thrashing bass. “This is his only Okanagan show so we are expecting to see a good turnout and hope to draw a fair amount of people from out of town,” said Josh Brazier, with show promoters 13th Floor Entertainment. “We also have some very notable openers in Kona and Darth Raver, who will be getting the party started.” Born Amaan Hirshee in Vancouver, the house DJ and producer immersed himself in a society where people and cultures were in a constant state of flux, and says he learned early and quickly the fruits of being open minded. Growing up, he was especially unprejudiced in regards to his musical tastes, listening to a boundless variety of genres and styles. Today, it’s those diverse tastes that differentiate him from the rest of the pack. He broke out at the turn of the decade with chart topping bangers such as The Rinse Out, Always Tomorrow, Big Life and California. However, the track that best defines him is the wildly popular So Good, a collaboration with soulful singer Tonye Aganaba, which topped out at No. 1 on Beatport’s Dubstep Chart for three weeks. Hirshee has also made some friends in high places. Renowned American electro house musician and record producer Steve Aoki has used a number of Hirshee’s remixes and originals, including Takes Me Places on the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. He has also received support from artists such
as Dutch producer Tiësto (soon to headline Kelowna’s Centre of Gravity Music Festival), and the legendary British DJ, musician, and record producer Fatboy Slim. Hirshee has also teamed up with electro house producer Lazy Rich to create Big Fish Recordings, one of the leading electro labels today. Joining him is Vernon DJ Kona who has been rocking shows for 12 years now and has recently turned to producing. One half of the Scribbled Squad, a high energy duo known for rocking out wonky basslines and heavy hitting fidget tunes, Kona has twirled knobs at recent shows alongside local heros such as Dee Bass, Wrecklace, Mayo, Basslinger, and the whole Bassbong and IHeart Recordings lineup. With a background in speed garage and electro, and everything else with bass, he has also dabbled in tribal, deep house, and funky house. With the new addition of fidget (defined by snatched vocal snippets, dirty basslines and rave-style synth stabs over glitchy 4/4 beats), Kona says he looks to all these sounds for inspiration. “I’ve been putting in heavy studio time over the last couple years, and have been on a mission to develop my sound,” he said. Fellow Okanagan DJ Darth Raver started spinning in 2009, but soon decided he wanted to be behind the scenes and throw the most epic parties people would remember for years to come. He has been successful, creating annual parties such as Santa Strikes Back, Beats by the Pound, and The Groove Music Festival near Midway, B.C. Last year, his interest returned to behind the decks. With help from his many talented friends and his previous exposure to DJing, he quickly picked up the art of mixing, spinning and crossfading, and he has since packed dance floors with dirty basslines and euphoric melodies with a certain Star Wars influence, hence his name. Tickets for Saturday’s show at Club 2929 are $10 in advance at the Downtown Internet Lounge, Bean to Cup, Dunas Skate and Snow, and Margherita’s Pizza.

Ranch Tales
ropes to the saddle horn and the resulting shock of a 1,500-pound bull hitting the end of their rope required a much thicker, sturdier horn. For the same reason, saddles in Texas were heavier and had two cinches to secure them to the horse. California saddles were lighter and single cinched and tended be more ornate than their Texas cousins, with carved leather and metal conchos. It was this California style saddle that found its way north to the valleys of western Oregon and eventually to B.C. during the gold rush years. For the British, being used to their own style of saddle, this strange aberration was a Mexican saddle. Whatever its local name, the California stock saddle was everywhere and was used by drovers and miners alike. Photographs of the main street of
Barkerville in the 1860s show the widespread use of the California saddle with the characteristic saddle horn and cantle. Most have saddle horns that are wrapped with leather around the neck but with uncovered caps; some of the saddles have tapaderos over the stirrups; and all appear to be “centre fire” rigged, having a single cinch located mid-way on the saddle. When the cattle industry became fully established in the B.C. Interior, the California saddle was enthusiastically accepted as the best stock saddle by the cowboys. For years, a B.C. cowboy could be distinguished from his Alberta counterpart by his saddle until, as cowboys drifted back and forth across the great divide of the Rockies, saddle styles merged into one. Ken Mather is the former O’Keefe Ranch curator.

Biology students at the Salmon Arm campus of Okanagan College are getting a different kind of glimpse into the undersea world, thanks to a unique donation of photographs depicting endangered, and in some cases extinct, marine life. Tatjana SchmidtDerstroff spent the early 1970s diving and snorkeling in some of the world’s most spectacular locations, including the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. Framed images she captured from those days are now mounted in the college’s biology lab, featuring shells, coral and other marine life from exotic locations including off the coast of Thursday Island (Arafura Sea), Ningaloo Reef, West Australia (Indian

Michael Mitsch, biology professor, says the donation had an immediate impact on his students. “We put the photographs up over reading break, and when the students returned it stimulated an invigorating conversation, and lots of questions,” Mitsch said. “They clearly appreciated what this donation adds to the classroom experience.” Born in Germany, Schmidt-Derstroff started studying medicine and journalism and, after the war, cultural anthropology and archaeology at a time when very few women were active in those fields. “Sometimes I was the only white women exploring these countries,” she said. Schmidt-Derstroff ’s donation to Okanagan College is one of several that she’s made in recent years. She has also donated some archaeological objects to the University of Saskatoon. Photographs from her flights in a bush plane, called Earth Art, can be seen at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Her paintings were also auctioned off to the BC Cancer Society. “I wanted to donate to Canada because the country has been good to me,” she said.

United stellar in Idaho adventure Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United U16 boys went 2-1 and gave up just one goal in a Rep soccer tournament in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho last weekend. Mike Melbourne’s crew dominated the Montana Force in their Saturday opener but the Force scored on a rare chance in the second half for a 1-0 win. The Force ended up winning the tournament. After a team outing at Silverwood Theme Park, United bounced the Boseman Selects of Montana 5-0. Scotty Coulthard, with his first goal on his new team with a header, opened the scoring on a great cross from captain Cody Glinsbockel. From there, it was the Michael Williamson clinic as the super-charged striker scored four times, the first on a beauty leftfooter from outside the box. Keeper Jeff Hiscoe was brilliant in creatively stopping several great chances. United clipped Nelson 1-0 Sunday with defender Chase Larsen sending a bomb from just over half for the winner. “Again, all 16 players played very solid team soccer not allowing Nelson to get any real scoring opportunities,” said Melbourne. Cole Shoemaker and Hiscoe split the shutout. United was in an eight-team pool and didn’t make the playoff final, finishing third.

However, I think it was the best game of our season and we hope to take this momentum into the Slurpee Cup in Kamloops this weekend.” Morgan Nichols (Man of the Match) recorded 11 saves in the Vernon goal. Rowan McDonald generated the best offensive chances with three shots on target.

strong 1-1 tie versus host Kamloops Red and then grounded Kamloops Black 5-1 Sunday at MacArthur Island Sports centre. United had Kamloops Red under siege for most of the game, but the Vernon boys could only muster a Zach Smith goal. Saajan Klair, with a crossbar, and Smith, with a late second-half post, had chances for a go-ahead tally. Liam Reid, Dawson Martian and Jack Cotter enjoyed stellar defensive showings. Consistent work in Game 2 saw the chances going into the net, with Smith potting a natural hat trick, and singles coming from Martian and Devin Hofsink. Luc Jones ran miles, Keegan Carmichael sparkled in his new central midfield role and Reid and Lucas Schuch played great defence. Keeper Kevin Morgan was firm all day and had his shutout bid erased late on a welldeserved Black goal.

United U14 girls improved to 5-1-2 by brushing off Salmon Arm Selects 3-0 Sunday at Blackburn Park after drawing 1-1 with Kamloops Blaze Saturday at MacDonald Park. Abbey Hughes (2) and Cayleigh Graham handled the offence in the Shuswap with Marina Dempsey registering the shutout. United led 1-0 at the break before finding their stride. “We received some great shots and hustle from Sheyna Camalush, crossing and corners by Alex Drury and Jaime Grages, and a superb shot by Emily Clarke that just missed the goal but was tapped in by sniper Cayleigh Graham,” said United coach Michelle Hughes. “We also got great defending by the back line and a super volley from just inside the box by Abbey Hughes.” United and Kamloops went hard on a scorching Saturday afternoon in Vernon with Graham netting the United goal. In U16 girls play Sunday, United clipped host Kamloops 1-0 at MacArthur Island. Winger Riley Martian pocketed the goal and Julia Kemper earned the clean sheet. Vernon dominated play in all areas of the field, outchancing the Blaze 10-1. The goal was a result of good defending, strong midfield play and excellent finish by Martian.

In Thompson Okanagan Rep U17/18 boys play, United U17 boys lost a 3-2 thriller to Penticton U18s Sunday at Kings Park. The winner came with about a minute left off a disputed offside goal. Vernon played one of its best games of the season, showing tremendous skill while playing with no subs. Vernon’s first goal came from a gorgeous cross-field pass from defender Menno Burnet to Lendrit Ademi, who finished with a precision one-touch header into the top corner. United’s second goal was another beauty by midfielder Lucas Ross, who dribbled past two players and then chipped the ball over the charging keeper. Defenders Liam Eddy, Kurt Seiler and Liam Curran consistently foiled the talented Penticton forward attacks. “No one player stood out; all 11 players did their jobs, both defended and attacked as a team,” said Vernon coach Monique Bennett. The host Penticton Pinnacles shut down shortstaffed Vernon 1-0 in U14 boys action Sunday at Kings Park.
United U11 #2 toppled Kamloops White 3-1 and blanked Revelstoke Avalanche 2-0. Kobe Grant, Matt Reich and Maksim Chirkoff were fantastic in containing the Kamloops midfielders. Liam Glennon opened the scoring on a lovely Chirkoff and Reich combination. Reich was rewarded for his determination with a goal early in the second half before Kamloops quickly responded. Vernon counted with a lovely cross from Reich to Nathan Paskiewich, who delivered a deluxe ball for Glennon to bury for insurance. In their second game, the boys came out flat against a physical side from Revelstoke. Grant finished off a sweet through ball and put Vernon up 1-0. In the second half, Grant delivered a fantastic corner that was finished off by a dazzling first strike by Aiden Skinner. Logan Quibell was stellar in net and earned his second clean sheet of the season. Both teams will compete in the older U12 division in the Slurpee Cup in Kamloops this weekend.

Paige turns United U13 offence Continued from B1
Paige Latta connected as United blanked the host Kamloops Blaze 1-0 in U13 girls play Sunday. Coach Al Gee credited a solid team performance for moving unbeaten United to 4-0-2. United then bowed 4-0 to Kamloops A in exhibition action, getting great performances from Evan Koshure, Jordan Butler, Lailah Akkurt, Sydney Embleton and Maja Splawinski. United U12 #2 girls got Barclay’s League-like goals by Kelsey Falk, Jayden Strachan and Olivia McLennan in a 3-0 win over Shuswap Sunday at Marshall Field. McLennan’s breakaway from the half was courtesy of a beautiful through ball by Elena Gaskell. McLennan deked the onrushing keeper and nearly ran out of real estate before tapping it in by the post. Hailey Yablonski was solid in net. Nadia Smith was the Wendy’s Lady of the Match with strong two-way play. United Girls U12 #1 lost 2-1 to Kamloops Blue and fell 3-0 to Kamloops Orange in Vernon. Keeper Grace Atkins made a mighty diving save to set the tone in Game 1. Makena Kersey converted at 15 minutes with a long blast from the left side.
Megan Sherwood, Emilia Durfeld and Paige Noakes worked hard together to create scoring opportunities. In Game 2, United forwards Talia Quiring, Keira Correia and Atkins created several chances but failed to finish. The U11 #1 girls split their games in Kelowna, losing 3-0 to Kamloops Blue before stopping Shuswap 5-2. Callie Bertram and Anne Cherkowski had strong games in the middle of the field in the loss. Cherkowski opened the scoring versus Shuswap in the seventh minute by stealing a goal kick and going low, right corner. She scored again five minutes later, going top right corner from 12 yards. Emily Boden drew the assist after a nice run. Janelle Barnett let loose a monster goalie drop kick to send Rane Smith on a breakaway in the 17th minute. Smith calmly finished low to the keeper’s left side while being pressured by two defenders. The fourth goal by Sarah Stevenson came off a corner by Cherkowski in the 22nd minute. Barnett sent another huge goal kick, in the 25th minute, to Emma Eggert, who broke in and tucked it in the corner.

The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers appear to be finding their swagger in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League. The Cats reeled off their secondstraight lopsided win, grounding the South Okanagan Flames 13-2 Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. “I was impressed with the team in their ability to remain focussed,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton, who was pleased to see the team lower its penalty minute total (20 PIM). “We had a job to do and we went in and got it done. Every player knows his job and everybody from the goalie out did their job and did it well. “Two goals against – there’s not a whole lot more to be said.” Vernon, now 3-1, hosts the lastplace Kamloops Venom (1-5) tonight at Wesbild. The Venom bowed 13-11 to the 2-2 Flames Sunday at Memorial Arena in Penticton. Nolan Frame netted four goals and three assists for the Tigers, who raced out to a 4-0 first-period lead against
South Okanagan. Ryan Sarazin supplied 4+1, Jordan Orr had 2+3, Craig Bigsby collected 1+2 and captain Mason Limb and Quinton Harrish each pocketed singles. Liam McPhee chipped in with four assists and Daryl Landels added three to help netminder Joel Fruncillo (31 saves). Jacob Hollenbeck and Kaid McLeod replied for the shortbenched Flames who got assists from Ryan Harms, John Ciardullo and Josh Greenwood. South Okanagan keeper Charles Nicholas made 44 stops. Meanwhile, Armstrong Shamrock grad Brett Hawrys had three goals and two assists as the host Nanaimo Timbermen bowed 11-10 to the Burnaby Lakers in Junior A play Saturday at Frank Crane Arena. Owen Barker, another Armstrong product, chipped in with a goal and an assist. Peyton Lupul led the Lakers with four goals and an assist. Vernon’s Ryan Landels was held pointless as the Port Coquitlam Saints bowed 9-5 to the host Delta Islanders Saturday night at Sungod Arena.
Canadians do it for mom Morning Star Staff

Tyler Liefke went 2-for-2 and stole four bases, while Lambert was 1-for-1 with two walks and three stolen bases. Nathan Nesbitt got the start in the
second game, striking out nine over four innings. Liefke closed out the last three innings, allowing one run and striking out six.

Maroons get B.C. spot Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons have already qualified for B.C. Senior AA Boys Rugby Championships, but there is still some Valley hardware up for grabs. The Maroons, who clinched a provincial berth with a 38-7 win over the host Merritt Panthers in the Okanagan playdowns Monday, visit the Kalamalka Lakers Thursday (4 p.m.) in the Valley final. The B.C. championships go May 29-June 1 at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. Austin Richardson, making a stellar debut at eight-man, powered the Fulton attack with three tries against Merritt under challenging weather conditions. Connor Mackus had two tries and Clark Richardson supplied one and booted threeof-four converts. “Austin Richardson was dominant off the back of the scrum and is a load to tackle,” said Head coach Mike Scheller. Layne Greene kicked the other convert for the Maroons, who led 10-7 at halftime. Fulton controlled possession in the first half, but Scheller said poor decision making cost them some
early points. “We did not play an intelligent first half, and should have been up by more. We were too sideways in attack, and Merritt has some gritty tough kids that tackle well. “The second half was much better – we played with a Mike Scheller straighter attack and smarter play around their try line.” There was no rugby at Fulton last year, so Scheller was pleased to see the program rebound straight into a provincial berth. “This is special for our guys in Grade 12 this year; they have competed well and deserve the chance to compete at provincials.” Scheller noted the play of the Greene brothers – Layne and Sean – who were solid and smart in attack and aggressive on defence. “They carried the team during a lacklustre first half,” said Scheller. Hooker Adam Woods continued to do all the dirty work in the scrums.
Sonics take AA golf crown Morning Star Staff
The Seaton Sonics claimed the Okanagan Valley High School AA Golf Championships Monday at Gallagher’s Canyon in convincing fashion, posting a team score of 303. The Kalamalka Lakers were runners-up at 335. Matt McEachran-Law and Mackenzie Barrie led Seaton with scores of 75, while Mac Gourdine, 76, and Russell Day, with 77, rounded out the balanced Sonic effort. Austin Bosquet led Kal with a 78. The Sonics and Lakers both advance to the provincial tournament, May 26-28, at Arbutus Ridge Golf Course in Cobble Hill. Kelowna Senior Secondary Owls won the AAA title while Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna took home the A banner. In Zone 2 Junior Tour action Saturday, James Casorso of Kelowna won his third event of the year, holing out from 170 yards on the first playoff hole at the Kelowna Golf & CC. Steven Lee and Casorso both shot 70 to share the low score.Chris McEachran-Law fired a 73 to
finish fifth, while Bosquet was seventh with a 75, and Matt McEachran-Law carded a 77 for a share of eighth. In Sunday play at Kelowna Springs, Matt McEachran-Law posted a solid 1-over 72 to finish second. A couple costly mistakes on his last three holes Matt Law cost him as Lee hung on for the two-shot victory with 70. Barrie placed fourth with a solid 75, Bosquet had 76 for a share of sixth and Chris McEachranLaw finished 10th with a 77. Dexter Weiten of Vernon was second low net in the 14 and under class with a 62. The final two Tour events of the regular season are scheduled for Eagle Point and the Dunes, both in Kamloops, this weekend. Matt McEachran-Law, currently sitting 33 points out of first, hopes to chase down Lee for the overall Order of Merit title.
Peppers go 2-2 in Summerland Morning Star Staff
The Vernon H&L Glass Chilli Peppers went 2-2 in the Summerland Invitational Under 12 Girls Fastball Tournament last weekend. The Peppers opened with a 12-10 loss to the Summerland Stealers. MVP of the game was Lindsay Crandlemire. In their second game, the Peppers doubled West Kelowna with Samantha Head taking MVP. The Peppers then brushed back another Summerland entry 12-7 with Ellen Campbell earning MVP. Vernon finished the tournament Sunday morning by losing 15-0 to Chilliwack. The Peppers got clutch hits from Head, Yetko Robbins, MVP Kalen Webster, Cora Coles and Crandlemire. In league play last Thursday, the Chilli Peppers bowed 11-8 to host Sicamous. Highlights included a snag from Head, at shortstop, and a throw to first basemen Morgan Johnson for the out and Crandlemire picking up a ball on the mound and tossing to Johnson for another out. Head homered in the second inning. The Vernon Legion #25 Angels, gained a tie and three tough losses in the Summerland tourney, opening with a 4-4 draw with Port Coquitlam.
Catcher Dayna Hanley was game MVP, while Rhianne Busslinger stroked a two-run single over third to score Allie Crandlemire and pitcher Shelby Munk in the first inning. Danica Jensen smashed a single to centre field to bring in Lexie Edwards, who had singled to left. The Angels turned a doubleplay in the sixth with shortstop Stefani Anderson and first baseman Keara Crandlemire, who both doubled. Crandlemire scored Anderson for the tie. Munk had some strikeouts, while Allie Crandlemire tagged two runners out at first, and second baseman Dallyce Edwards caught pop flies and recorded a few groundouts. Vernon then lost 12-5 to Chilliwack with Jensen, Allie and Keara Crandlemire and Dallyce Edwards, driving in runs in the third and fourth. Anderson sparkled at short for MVP. The Angels fell 10-1 to North Delta with Munk and Dallyce Edwards sharing pitching duties and catcher Allie Crandlemire collecting MVP. Fleetwood of Surrey ambushed the Angels 9-2 in Sunday action. Bader took MVP, tagging a pair of outs at second. Lexie Edwards drilled a two-run shot to right field in the fifth inning.

Luke Davis hopes to be wearing an astronaut suit for real if he wins the chance to attend the Axe Apollo Space Academy in Orlando, Fla.
The final frontier beckons Katherine MortiMer
Morning Star Staff
Luke Davis has survived the hottest of chili peppers, endured the spiciest of chicken wings and rolled around in a muddy ditch, all in an effort to go where few have gone before. The Vernon resident has entered the Axe Apollo space contest, to win the chance to go to space camp in Orlando, Fla. followed by a 103-KM ride into space on a Lynx Mark 2 experimental jet. “I grew up in Houston, Texas near the Kennedy Space Centre, so I was bit by the astronaut bug as a wee kid,” said Davis, 33. “This is my last chance as a chubby Canadian to get to space.” To get there, the father of four has come up with some creative ways of earning votes. On his Twitter page, he asked, “What do I have to do to get your vote to go to space.” The first response: “Find a mud puddle and frolic in it like a moose. I’ll give you my vote if you do.” And so he does: frolicking in a muddy puddle in less-than-balmy temperatures in a video that can be seen on his YouTube channel. “I had to throw my clothes out after that, they couldn’t even be washed,” he said, chuckling at the memory. “I was terrified I’d catch some kind of parasite. “But it’s all about the votes and getting people to pick me out of a crowd. I’m willing to do anything to get into space.” For the chili peppers challenge, he willingly sears the inside of his mouth with seven chicken wings followed by a spoon-
ful of habanero and Thai chilis. The space contest has men and women competing for a chance to attend the Axe Apollo Space Academy, where they’ll meet Buzz Aldrin, one of the first men to walk on the moon. The contest is open to participants from 60 countries, who have set up their astronaut profile online, telling the world why they deserve to go. The two Canadians with the most votes will attend camp and have the chance to be one of the final 22 space travellers selected based on competitive space-simulation challenges.
“I’m willing to do anything to get into space.” — Luke Davis The space flight is aboard the suborbital spacecraft, the Lynx, through the international space agency, Space Expedition Corporation. The company’s goal is to offer daily commercial flights into space as of next year. The Lynx is a two-seat fully reusable space plane that is designed and built by XCOR Aerospace. To date, the company has sold more than 200 flights. “Once I joined, it has been about getting people to vote, but my wife has been saying that she doesn’t want to hear anymore about space camp unless I win, but she is very supportive,” said Davis, who works in IT at Kal Tire. “My youngest daughters are worried about Daddy going to space and they were teary-eyed and concerned about my well-being. But my
eldest said, ‘this is one of Daddy’s dreams and we should support him.’” Born in Calgary, Davis was raised in Texas before moving to Vernon in 1991. Of the thousands of Canadians who have entered the Axe contest, Davis was in spot 86 at press time. He hopes by next year, his dream of space travel will have come true. “I get goose bumps thinking about it, it will be a life-changing experience. At space camp, they put you through your paces,” said Davis. “This is not for the faint-of-heart. It’s tactical training, to see if your body can withstand the centrifugal forces.” He’s started training already, by picking up his youngest daughter and spinning around in a circle, and is already up to nine spins without getting dizzy. Even if he doesn’t win the contest, Davis is likely stuck with the nickname given to him by co-workers at Kal Tire: Space Luke. “And if I don’t win, I can still book a trip on the spacecraft for a mere $110,000.” Meanwhile, he’s crafting a space suit of sorts, and working on his videos with his “creative director,” his good friend, Brad Breitkreutz. “Should I make it, I’m planning on blogging/vlogging my experiences from space camp — to the fullest extent they will allow — to beyond,” he said. Contact Davis through his Twitter page @LukeInSpace and vote for him at www. bit.ly/spaceluke. Voting goes until August. See his YouTube videos at www.bit.ly/spicyluke and at www.bit.ly.moosemud And at 7:10 a.m. today, he’ll be on The Sunrise Show with Brian and Betty on SunFM.

Rhubarb: the fruity vegetable
R
hubarb is now available in most home gardens and local markets and is the first treat of the spring growing season. This perennial vegetable (I know, most people think it’s a fruit) is a member of the sorrel family and thus is a vegetable. Only the stalks of rhubarb are edible; the leaves contain a high concentration of oxalic crystals which are poisonous, causing the tongue and throat to swell, seriously preventing breathing. However, the Cathi Litzenberger stalks are delicious and extremely versatile. Rhubarb can be made into a huge variety of desserts, muffins, breads, cakes, cookies, chutneys, jams, jellies, juice, wine and more. It is high in vitamin C and fiber, but note that although you can pick it throughout the warmer seasons, for flavour and texture, it is best picked and used in the spring. Today I offer a new square recipe for coffee time or lunches, and a dessert that everyone will rave about.

In the mixing bowl, beat together sugar, 1/4 cup flour, eggs and vanilla. Stir in rhubarb. Pour over warm crust in baking pan. Return to oven and bake for 35 minutes more or till done. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Serve warm or cool. Store in the refrigerator. Makes 16 servings.

Planting for companionship in the garden
lready May is halfway gone and what weather we’re having. Last year at the Lumby Market I was wearing my winter boots and my tuque because it was so cold. This year I had to empty my little greenhouse because my plants were burning. The opening of the
market May 11 was a beautiful day. Except for Lumby Days on June 8, it runs every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until October. This is the first year that I have squash plants already transplanted and blooming in the garden at this early date. From the weather reports, it
looks like we are safe from frost for the next couple of weeks and then we get after May 24 when it is safe for our zone. Maybe this is a preview of the climate change. All this sun may be nice but now we need some rain again. Some of my rain barrels are emptied. The warm weather
has forced my irises to bloom much earlier. Some of them are already past their prime. This week I plan on transplanting some of my tomato plants and hoping to get some of the early varieties ready to eat in early July unless we have very cold weather in June as some other
Whether they’re out of it or into it
years. Gardening is never boring. As you are ready to plant your garden, I thought I would share with you some of the companion planting guide. For years I have been using the books Carrots Love Tomatoes and Roses Love Garlic by Louise Riotte. Plants are like people. Some of them get along very well but try to put other ones together and it just doesn’t work. The following plants grow well together, supporting each other and resulting in greater yields for you. Consider the following pairings (and a few that dislike each other) when making your garden plans. n Beans get along with most veggies, but not onions. n Cabbage and broccoli love celery, beets, spinach and chard. This is a good place for your onions, too. n Carrots do well with peas, lettuce and tomatoes, but keep the dill at the other end of the garden. n Cucumbers like to

be near beans, peas and radishes, but far from potatoes. n Tomatoes will thrive near carrots, cucumbers and onions. n Radishes mature more quickly than slowgoing carrots — planted together, your soil yields more vegetables In any case, there are many plants that establish this kind of symbiotic relationship, and encouraging it in your own garden can yield spectacular results. Your veggies will be healthier and more flavourful, you’ll find fewer pests ravaging the garden, and it’s lovely to see all the different colours and textures of these plants juxtaposed against one another instead of just standing stodgily in
long, straight lines. Basil: An excellent herb to grow with tomatoes, it’ll fend off tomato worms, and will enhance growth. Don’t grow it anywhere near cabbage or snap beans, however — it’ll lower their yield and stunt growth. It doesn’t play nicely with sage either. Basil’s strong fragrance repels flies and mosquitoes so keep some in a glass of water on your table. It may also come in handy for last-minute seasoning. Perennial herbal or floral borders attract beneficial insects and repel undesirable ones. Good border plants include marigold, nasturtium, garlic, chives, onion and others with spicy or stinky leaves. Companion planting is also a good way to improve the rotation of your vegetable garden. Follow heavy feeders (corn and tomatoes) with heavy givers (legumes, clovers), then light feeders (root crops). For information: 250-558-4556.
PVSS extends an invitation Morning Star Staff
Pleasant Valley secondary school is opening its doors to the public on May 22. “The open house at PVSS was a long-standing tradition but more recently has not been part of the school calendar,” said leadership teacher Steve Drapala. “The event used to draw upwards of 2,000 people into the Armstrong high school from the surrounding community. This year, the leadership class is resurrecting the popular event.” The open house takes place from 6
p.m. to 8 p.m. and will include hamburgers on the barbecue by donation, free slushies at the Snack Shack, button making, cookie decorating, science experiments, a limerick competition, line dancing and more. Performances by the choir, band and dance will be scattered throughout the evening. “We encourage you to check out as much as you can to increase your chances to win great door prizes,” said Drapala. “Bring your family and friends, young and old, and come check it out — we look forward to seeing you there.”

Bridge by Phillip Alder
OPENER’S REBID PAVES THE AUCTION’S PATH Ben Hecht, who was known as the Shakespeare of Hollywood, said, “Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.” When a player makes his second bid, he should give more information about the distribution and strength of his hand than he supplied with his initial call. Let’s look at the opener’s choices this week after partner has responded at the one-level. What should South rebid in this deal? This is the basic theory: If he makes a minimum rebid, he shows minimum count, sometimes 12-14 points; at
other times it will be 1216 (or an unexciting 17). If opener makes a jump rebid, he guarantees extra strength, 15-17 or (17-plus) 18-20. Also, if he bids a new suit at the two-level, he indicates at least five cards in his first suit. Bidding a suit for the second time promises at least six. And no-trump specifies a balanced hand. Here, South should rebid two no-trump, showing (a good 17) or 18 or 19 (or a bad 20). This rebid does not deny a four-card major and is in principle game-forcing. Against three no-trump, West leads the heart jack. South has eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts, one diamond and two clubs. His best chance is a 3-2 diamond split. However, dummy is
short of entries. The right play is to win trick one and duck (lose) a diamond. Declarer wins the second heart and ducks another diamond. He takes the next (heart) play by East, leads his last diamond to dummy’s ace, and cashes the two remaining winners in the suit, giving him 10 tricks in all.

What can psychotherapy do for me?
Psychotherapy can help you understand why you do what you do, feel what you feel, and act like you act. It helps you get rid of old habits and beliefs that no longer serve you and opens the door to feelings of peace, happiness, and excitement.
You have answers to your own questions. In a safe and supportive environment, a psychotherapist uses a variety of tools and techniques to help you access your own inner wisdom. Psychotherapy facilitates turning feelings of being lost, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed into feelings of belonging, happiness, confidence, self assuredness and peacefulness. So, you can make positive changes in your personal, professional, or spiritual lives!

How do I find a qualified Mortgage Broker?
In BC, all Mortgage Brokers or SubMortgage Brokers (working for a larger Brokerage Firm) are required to be Licensed by the Financial Commission of BC. You can visit their website at www.fic.gov.bc.ca or the provincial association, Mortgage Brokers of BC online at www.mbabc.ca.

Be sure to look for the Accredited Mortgage Professional Designation, AMP that certifies that the Broker has adhered to all of the professional ethics and educational requirements for the Mortgage Broker Industry in Canada. You should also ask your Lawyer, Notary, or Realtor Professional as they will also have a Mortgage Broker Professional that they know and trust to help with your Mortgage, they work with us on a daily basis and have first hand knowledge of our services.

Q: A:
When you move your jaw there is some movement in the ear canal. Hearing aids that go further into the ear canal can be affected greatly by this movement and cause problems with ringing or feedback. The noise you talk about, while eating, is also related to the fitting and venting of the hearing aids. You should return to the person who fit your hearing aids and have him/her modify or remake them. That should resolve your fit problems.

Q: A:
Yes! Tank-less water heaters or on demand type water heaters have been found to be more energy efficient. Recent studies by CMHC found that gas fired on demand water heaters were 46% more efficient than the conventional gas fired storage water heaters. One drawback was noted that 2% more water consumption was recorded due to a delay in hot water arriving at the tap & consumer’s tendency to use more hot water because the supply was endless. And the supply is endless, as an example, I had one installed in my home. One day I drained my hot tub to clean it & replace the water; I then filled it with hot water via my hot water on demand system. I had to wait for the water in the hot tub to cool down before I could use the hot tub. The cost of retrofitting an on demand water heater is more than a conventional water heater. A conventional heater may cost around $1000 to replace while to retrofit an on demand water heater will most likely start at $2500 or more. Shop around for your best deal, Information on energy savings research can be found on the CMHC web site. And remember: when in doubt, always ask an expert.

Q:
A:
What is Cold Laser Therapy?
Cold laser therapy, also called low level laser therapy, is used to treat muscle, tendon, or ligament conditions by injecting billions of photons of visible and non visible light deep into underlying tissue. Cells contain certain properties which have the unique ability to absorb laser light energy and transform it into chemical energy, similar to photosynthesis in plants. The biostimulating effects of laser therapy include: • Decreasing the pain signal and increasing endorphin release • Decrease inflammation by increasing lymphatic circulation • Increased vasodilation to allow oxygen rich blood to injured areas • Accelerate tissue regeneration by increased production of ATP • Speed up the healing process by increased collagen synthesis The end result of cold laser treatment is to not only reduce pain and speed up healing time, but by naturally increasing collagen synthesis, you have true tissue repair at a cellular level!

What do you think of hot water on demand water heaters, are they really more efficient?
I’m thinking about having a Will done. What should I do?
Where there is a Will there is a way. You should make a Will when you marry or start a family or the moment you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business. The protection of your children should be a priority. Would you prefer the government appoint a guardian for your minor children? You will also require an Advance Health Care Directive and a Power of Attorney in case something happens to you and you are unable to make decisions yourself. Many people advertise that they do Wills and Estate Planning. For us, it is a specialty. We have given many presentations on it to community groups and have taught this subject at the Bar Admission course all new lawyers must take. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

I’ve never had my air conditioner serviced. Is this something that I should be doing, and what do you check for?
A: With Spring firmly sprung, home sales are emerging, and everyone wants to know how to make top dollar. Well, it’s not a secret, any good realtor will tell you: location, location, location… and street appeal. Understanding the external influences around your home is important, while you may not be able to change your postal code; there is much you can change. Feng Shui has many aspects (one of which is beauty) so street appeal is important. If you want to sell your home fast, pay attention to how your home looks as people approach it and what greets them as they walk toward your door. People buy homes when they connect to them, I am trained to see those connections, but most people aren’t, so make it easy for them, and let them fall in love without any concerns for what they ‘may’ have to alter. And if you want to bake some cookies for that ‘home sweet home’ effect… make it chocolate and I’ll be right over!
Absolutely! Like any car or truck, it’s a good idea to have any mechanical equipment checked by a trained professional for abnormalities and signs of wear and tear. Many serious and often costly repairs can be caught early or prevented by having a simple check-up. We recommend having this done every other year, unless your equipment is really old, in which case it may be a good idea to have it checked annually. The most common problem with air conditioners are minor refrigerant leaks that are easy to check; but often lead to inefficient operation, and compressor failures. Most compressors will last about 5 years running on a low refrigerant charge - right about the time your warranty runs out. So get those A/Cs checked out!

True and False: Test your water knowledge! 1. 2. 3.
British Columbians use more water than other Canadians.
T__ F__
A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year.
T__ F__
The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.
T__ F__
Answers: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.
□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day. □ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home. □ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can). □ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity. □ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.
Tip #2
Fix that leaky toilet - a toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200 000 litres of water in a single year! To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak.
Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.* n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%. *RBC 2013 Canadian Water Attitudes Study.
Tip #3
Most CSA-approved showerheads and faucets will have their flow rates stamped on them. By installing one of these devices, a typical household could save up to 1000 litres of water each week - not to mention the extra energy savings!

Our water – Why do we need to protect it? Why should we care?

True and False: Test your water knowledge! 1. 2. 3.
British Columbians use more water than other Canadians.
T__ F__
A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year.
T__ F__
The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week.
T__ F__
Answers: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.
□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day. □ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home. □ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can). □ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity. □ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.
Tip #2
Fix that leaky toilet - a toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200 000 litres of water in a single year! To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak.
Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.* n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%. *RBC 2013 Canadian Water Attitudes Study.
Tip #3
Most CSA-approved showerheads and faucets will have their flow rates stamped on them. By installing one of these devices, a typical household could save up to 1000 litres of water each week - not to mention the extra energy savings!
