Kal Lake camping trip takes tragic turn ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A camping trip ended tragically for two Vernon men when their bodies were discovered in Kalamalka Lake, near Cosens Bay, Wednesday before noon. According to RCMP, it is possible the pair, both in their 50s, had been on the lake in a 12-foot car-top-style boat with a small dog Tuesday when a severe storm hit the region. “We may never fully know what happened to them,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The names of the two men had not been released by press

time Thursday. Molendyk said the last contact anybody had with the two men came at 1 p.m. Tuesday. According to police, a third man who had been camping with the pair had left early, but received a phone call from the two men to pick them up at a dock on the lake. When the two men didn’t show up at the scheduled time and meeting place, the other man thought they were staying longer, maybe waiting out the storm that had blown into the North Okanagan, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. A Coldstream resident out for a walk in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park Wednesday at
around 7:30 a.m., near a dog beach at Cosens Bay, noticed a cooler on the shore, a cooler floating in the lake and he also spotted what appeared to be a dog floating in the water. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP were called, as was Vernon Search and Rescue, who dispatched about 20 members to the scene. Shortly before noon Wednesday, the bodies of the two Vernon men were found in the lake. “That is the tragic end result,” said Molendyk, who added that both men were found wearing Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs). However, police said where 2013 TOYOTA RAV4

the bodies were found, in relatively shallow water near Cosens Bay, is not likely where the pair fell into the cold water of Kal Lake. “No, there was a storm and the storm blew some of the items up on the shore,” said Molendyk. The boat, belonging to one of the victims, was also found overturned and missing its motor which was there when the camping trip began. Police were not clear as to where the men had been camping. Foul play is not suspected and the investigation into the accident has been turned over to the B.C. Coroners Service.

Robbery suspect to prison
Soapy Science
Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man will have more than a year in jail to contemplate his robbery of a local gas station. Johnathan Michael McKinnon, 25, was sentenced to 404 days in jail in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday for robbing the Super Save Gas Station on 27th Street in April. A suspect entered the store shortly before 9 p.m. on April 4, produced a knife and demanded cash from the till. He was given an undisclosed amount of cash and was seen leaving the store in a northbound, then westbound direction. Police issued a video surveillance photo of the suspect the next morning and, thanks to public tips, apprehended a suspect the following afternoon. A knife was discovered by police near the gas station, but they could not confirm if it was the one used in the robbery. Crown counsel entered a stay of proceedings on a charge of wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence against McKinnon. The judge placed McKinnon on two years probation after he serves his sentence. He must also provide a DNA sample and he was given a 10-year firearms prohibition.

Okanagan takes the spotlight in films this summer Morning Star Staff
Two new movies are set to film in the Okanagan, including some Vernon scenes, this summer. Jon Summerland, Okanagan Film C ommissioner, announced that Sepia Films is returning to the Okanagan to shoot the films. “We are doing things Summerland right when production companies are returning year after year with multiple productions,” said Summerland. “The production company will be hiring crew locally which is great for our local industry.”
A Sisters Nightmare will start a month-long production on Monday, shooting predominantly in West Kelowna and Summerland, with some locations in Kelowna and Vernon. “Our last experience shooting in the Okanagan was extremely positive; we got a fantastic look for the film and it was one of the network’s top performing films last year,” said producer Kim Roberts. “We are delighted to be back.” A Sisters Nightmare features Kelly Rutherford (Gossip Girl, Scream 3) and Natasha Henstridge (The Secret Circle, CSI Miami), in the leading roles. Starring alongside are Peyton List (Jessie, Diary of A Wimpy Kid franchise) and Matthew Settle (Gossip Girl, Band of Brothers). The film will be directed by celebrated
Canadian feature film maker Vic Sarin, (Partition, A Shine of Rainbows, Cold Comfort, Margaret’s Museum, Bye Bye Blues). In this film, police officer Jane’s life goes into a tailspin the day her older sister Cassidy is released from a psychiatric hospital and demands her daughter back. In August, Sepia Films will return to the region to shoot A Daughters Nightmare, which will also be directed by Vic Sarin. More details to be released soon. Sepia Films is a Vancouver-based production company specializing in international co-production. As well, in other production news, Amazing Race Canada just wrapped the first episode of this new CTV series in Kelowna, and the show will air on July 15. In addition, there are two
high-profile television commercials coming to the Okanagan to shoot in the near future: Manulife will be shooting a commercial in Kelowna; and Infiniti cars will be shooting a commercial in Osoyoos.

News 2014 FORESTER EARNS THE HIGHEST SAFETY ACCOLADE
2014 Forester 2.0XT Limited
Dave Sibilleau/bXSl Fire Dept
Lightning struck a power pole on Old Kamloops Road Tuesday evening, sparking a fire at the top of the pole.
Storm sparks several fires Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Tuesday’s thunderstorm sparked several incidents around the region. Lightning sparked two fires, one up Turtle Mountain which was doused by the rain, as well as a power pole on Old Kamloops Road. Another power pole fire was also sparked in Enderby by a damaged insulator. The Old Kamloops Road power pole spark was witnessed by a nearby resident at approximately 6:45 p.m. “It looked like a lightning strike hit the power pole and started the top of the pole on fire,” said BX-Swan Lake fire chief Bill Wacey of the Old Kamloops Road incident. Flames burned down to the cross arms, which came down and landed on the transformer. “It was pretty close to a couple houses there,” said Wacey. Fire crews blocked the road for half an hour until BC Hydro arrived. In Enderby, a motorist saw sparks coming from a pole on Highway 97A across from North Enderby Timber and called in the incident shortly before 9 p.m. “One of the insulators cracked and started a fire,” said Enderby fire chief Kevin Alstad. “It was the top of the pole that caught fire.” Fire crews were on scene for several hours directing traffic until Hydro fixed the situation. Vernon firefighters were called to an unusual fire at the Forest Centre (14th Avenue) shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday. “Someone had left an incubator on in a lab,” said Captain Brent Bond. “There were pinecones in the unit and they started on fire.” Hydro wires were also knocked down in Lavington just before 4 a.m. Thursday morning at the corner of Learmouth and Reid roads. “It was a cottonwood tree that fell and took one of the lines down,” said Lavington fire chief Bruce Holmes.

River levels rising
MATTRESS NOW CAR ES R THE HUDS IED AT O BAY VERN N’S ON
Jennifer Smith
Morning Star Staff
Rising rivers have forced a high streamflow advisory for the Shuswap. Shuswap and Salmon rivers and surrounding areas are under the advisory, issued by the BC River Forecast Centre. River levels through the Interior began rising Wednesday, with the potential for further rises later in the week. It is also anticipated that the lake level will rise substantially due to the increased outflow from both the Salmon and Shuswap Rivers. In Enderby the Shuswap River is swelling but there is still room before the banks are spilled. “The rain isn’t helping anything,” said Enderby fire chief Kevin Alstad, who is keeping an eye on the levels after his basement flooded last spring. In Lumby water levels have resulted in some residential flooding as levels continue to rise. “We’ve got our firemen and some of our locals out doing sandbagging,” said Mayor Kevin Acton, who has been pushing the regional district to do more to control flows on Duteau Creek. BX Creek levels have also been surging, and those hiking in and around the area are asked to take caution. “They are rising substantially,” said BX-Swan Lake fire chief Bill Wacey. “Even before the rain started it was pretty high.” The Shuswap Emergency Program stresses the need and importance of being prepared. Residents are responsible for protecting their properties.

Rolke to rock Zumbathon Morning Star Staff
A hometown media personality, known for busting a city beat, will be rocking the Habitat Zumbathon Saturday. Morning Star senior reporter Richard Rolke said he would take part in the event, if $1,000 was raised in support of Vernon’s Habitat for Humanity. “Due to an incredibly generous donation just received ($1,500) toward Habitat’s Zumbathon $1,000 will be pledged in support of Matt Walker of the B.C. Lions and $500 to Richard Rolke’s challenge,” said Beth Marks, a Habitat Champion working with the fundraiser. In fact, more than $1,100 was raised in Rolke’s name, meaning he will be out at the Saturday Zumbathon from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre. “A very huge thanks to the donors, Darryl and Karin O’brian. They made it possible to cement two stars to the floor.” Glory Westwell, chairwoman of Vernon’s Habitat for Humanity since 2007, is all smiles leading up to the Habitat Zumbathon. “Sareena Sharma Nickoli has lined up an amazing group of instructors to lead the dancing. It’s going to be a huge celebration for Habitat,” said Westwell. “I’ve been so impressed with the work of the ‘Lend a hand to buy the land’ group. There is no doubt they will keep working until we have the land to start a Habitat movement that will be unstoppable.” The Habitat Zumbathon includes door prizes and original art for the grand prize of the most pledges. Tickets will be available at the door or can be purchased in advance at Diana’s Monogramming, Sutton Realty or City Furniture. Tickets are $25 and all of the funds generated will go toward raising $300,000 to purchase land for Habitat for Humanity.
Water source switched Morning Star Staff
The taps have been switched for customers whose water normally comes from Kalamalka Lake. Due to increased turbidity in Kal from spring runoff caused by heavy rainfall, Greater Vernon Water turned off the lake source Thursday. Water will be supplied from the Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant until turbidity decreases. There are no health-related effects to customers. Customers who are not normally on the DCWTP will notice that the water is much softer and the water has a low alkalinity and pH. This may be of interest to those customers who have in-home water treatment systems or aquariums. Staff will continue to monitor water quality and notify customers of any further changes. Customers will be notified when the Kalamalka Lake water source is turned back on.

Not myself today
ome days, like the weather, a dark cloud hangs over us. Others are full of vibrance and sunshine. You never know what the day will be like until you get up and start living it. For women, it’s like the unpredictability of our hair. One day it falls perfectly into place, while on others there’s nothing we can do to tame our locks from their hideous look except to restrict it back in a ponytail. Unfortunately there is no elastic strong enough to hold back those bad days in life. But where there is a will, there is a way. May is Mental Health Jennifer Smith month – something we could all learn a bit about to better inform ourselves about how to treat those struggling with issues as well as a time for us to examine our own mental health. There is also a campaign currently underway called Not Myself Today. Using buttons to reflect moods, it is building awareness around mental health. Personally I think the buttons are a great idea. We should all have a collection of our most frequent mood buttons, which we can attach to our lapels when needed. For example, maybe you’re moody and just want to be left alone, a button that reads “annoyed” might help steer people away. Or maybe you’re depressed and need someone to talk to, but don’t know how to reach out. A “sad” button might prompt a friend or coworker to lend an ear. Just the same, a “happy” button would surely put a smile on the faces of others. The goal with such buttons, and the overall campaign, is to raise awareness about mental health, specifically in the workplace. It’s time to listen when our friends and colleagues say: “I’m not myself today.” Mental health still carries a lot of stigma. People with mental illness are often afraid to

share their feelings or reach out due to how others may judge them. Just because someone has mental health issues does not mean they should be locked up in a padded room, bound by a restraint jacket. Unfortunately this type of stigma still exists. While some forms of mental illness are much more serious, there are different types of mental health problems, some of which are common, such as depression and anxiety disorders, and some not so common, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Approximately one in five Canadians will experience mental illness in their lifetime. But I believe that on some level, we all suffer from some form of mental instability. Maybe the stress at work or at home is getting to be too much. A traumatic experience has taken place. An unhealthy relationship is driving you over the edge. Whatever the case, the important thing to remember is that there is help. Before your problems escalate and drag you deeper into mental instability, talk to a friend or counsellor. Join a support group – which could be a specific group dedicated to helping with certain problems but could also be a cycling circle, fundraising team or whatever hobby interests you (do something that lifts your spirits and makes you feel good about yourself). Talk to your doctor, perhaps medication is needed – there’s nothing wrong with having to take a pill every day if that’s what helps you cope. But also know that no matter what form of therapy, medication or self-soothing you do, there will still always be bad days. Days when you think: “I’m just not myself today.” It’s perfectly normal and healthy. You just have to do what works for you to break through those dark storm clouds and bring on the sunshine. Develop strategies and coping skills to strengthen your mental health (one helpful new website to check out is: mynewhead.com). Don’t hide from or be ashamed of your problems, face them with confidence, knowing that the sun will shine again.
Another election has come and gone, and once again, half of those eligible to vote in this province didn’t bother. That’s just discouraging. So is the fact the BC Liberals can win a clear majority in the legislature with less than half the votes, and thus dictate legislation for the next four years unimpeded. Is it any wonder why the other half feel disenfranchised? When the Conservatives can garner close to 80,000 votes and still have no representation in the legislature, is it any wonder why so many British Columbians feel like they don’t have a voice? Nevertheless, it’s the system that’s currently in place. There was an opportunity to move to a single-transferable vote system in 2009, but voters turned it down – with only 39 per cent in favour in that referendum. Sixty per cent overall approval and 50 per cent approval in at least 60 per cent of the province’s electoral districts was required to adopt STV, – a system that more fairly reflects the actual number of votes for a candidate and party rather than seats won. However, the support fell far short. Would voter turnout be any more robust if B.C. had adopted an STV system? Impossible to say ... although given this province’s reputation of election apathy, it’s doubtful. If there is a bright note to the May 14 result, it was this: those who did choose to exercise their democratic right clearly did so with little regard to the inevitable NDP victory consistently predicted by the polling companies and political pundits. Clearly, the majority of those who turned out to the polls were voting for what they thought was right, not what they were told. Black Press

Track is in the wrong location
e were the 'no' voters. Not because we don't want a running track but because the location is
wrong. Why would we build a running track on the outskirts of town where we’d have to drive to and park. And park where? And then run by the highway breathing car exhaust? Why not build it where there is a high concentration of people, with free parking and within walking distance for people and no highway traffic to pollute the lungs? VSS, Kin Race Track or any other location ‘in town’. The location of the voted track certainly doesn’t fall within any good long-term planning concepts nor within the Healthy Communities Initiative. Is it even part of our Official Community Plan? Where did this idea come from in the first place? The track is being built for the college students and a few runners in town, and to
parking tickets You guys are Quick Draw McBylaw. This is the fourth ticket I have received in downtown Vernon over the years, just five minutes after the meter expired. And each time I did practice due diligence and plug the meter. You continue to give us the lip service about how you want to attract customers to the downtown area but your actions are ineffective. One thing is a no-brainer - hassle-free parking. On the day of my infraction, I chose to have a business meeting at a coffee shop, followed by some shopping to support our downtown. The coffee ended up costing me $13 and I was so choked by the fiveminute grace period given by the bylaw officer that I drove off to the north end to get what I needed. And, coincidentally, this come just days after I read an article in The Morning Star about how city hall is considering easing off on parking violations. Most people will not take the time to write a letter like this because they believe it falls on deaf ears, and most often it does. But it is time for the city to stop kidding itself about this issue because thousands of people feel the

me, the college should pay for that, not me. I am convinced that it will be used by very few because of the location and it makes me wonder about our other current recreational facilities. Many need updating. As a good example, we have a make-shift gymnastics facility because the city has not provided the
same way as I do. Do you really want to attract people to the downtown area? Well, there are constructive solutions. I for one have had many good and creative ideas rolling around in my head for years. It's time city council had some fresh and new ideas injected into some positive brain-compounding sessions. I hereby offer my services for the same and suggest that the city consider inviting other like-minded business people for their ideas and input. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to widen sidewalks, doubling the price of parking meters and fines, hiring more bylaw enforcement officers and well-meaning lip service will not work. todd perusini pursue your passion I would like to address the local youth of today. There are over seven billion people living on this planet. Never before has existing in obscurity been such an easy task. With divorce rates up, availability for work rapidly shifting from one location to the next, and families being fragmented across thousands of kilometres, it is easy for you to never have a chance
to connect with your surroundings. As a 21-year-old preparing to graduate from university, I think back to the overall lack of recognition that people like myself found within the elementary and high school system. The only time I received widespread recognition was for the year I had an exceptional athletic performance. A large percentage of teachers are involved with athletics, and you have no doubt experienced a teacher snapping at you if you do not participate or actively support the school football team. Outside of athletics, the only way to receive recognition or be valued is if you do things like Leadership where you put on events that 90 per cent of people shouldn't care about, or taking part in Global Ed where you erect huts and a clean drinking well in the middle of Nicaragua. If you are like myself, you found your passions and talents shunned by the school community. Trivia nor pop culture knowledge is celebrated, or being able to tell funny jokes (at least that's what my mom tells me). For whatever reason, teachers will never value that and instead yell at you if you do not compromise your hearing abilities by a decibelobsessed pep rally. But do not use a lack of inter-

As someone who publicly read four self-written works in eight days, and blogged one million words to bring in 20,000 viewers in a span of two years, I learned that pursuing the audience for myself rather than blaming others for not bringing the audience to me is the only way to succeed from the margins.

We’ve all had days when we just don’t feel like ourselves. But for those struggling with mental health issues, the bad days often outnumber the good. The days filled with anxiety, stress and/or depression is something Dianne Perrier has struggled with since she was 11. She still recalls the panic attacks she would have as a child, even in church where she would shake so bad that the entire pew would shake with her. “I always carried the stigma of mental health with me,” said Perrier, recalling how cruel kids at school could be.

Vernon students wise about water Morning Star Staff
A class of Vernon elementary students are among the Okanagan’s WaterWise ambassadors. Okanagan WaterWise and the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) are pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Okanagan WaterWise Challenge as part of Drinking Water Week, being celebrated across B.C., May 20 to 26. The contest began as part of Canada Water Week events in March and invited Okanagan youth to submit multimedia entries with the theme: Love your water body. Young people were asked to share their story of a special experience around a particular body of water in the Okanagan and the importance of conserving and protecting it. The winners are: Uta Van Ziffle’s Grade 2 class from Vernon’s Mission Hill Elementary School who submitted a video entitled We Love Our Water, as well as Christine Richards’ Grade 2 class at South Rutland Elementary and Kari Wright’s Grade 3 French Immersion class at Ecole Glenmore Elementary for their written and illustrated submissions. “We received amazing entries from the North, Central and South Okanagan,” said Corinne Jackson, OBWB’s communications director and manager of the Okanagan WaterWise program, noting the level of engagement from teachers was heartening. “We had videos, songs, poetry and drawings. Some made us laugh, some made us

This is Van Ziffle’s second win. Last year her kindergarten class from Cherryville won. “A lot of things come across a teacher’s desk, invitations for various contests, but this is the only one I’ve entered
because it is so relevant. Plus you have fun prizes,” laughed Van Ziffle on hearing the news. Both Van Ziffle’s and Richard’s class have won a two-hour cruise on Okanagan Lake with their classes, thanks to Cruise Okanagan in Vernon and KelownaDinnerCruises. com. Students will head out on a boat charter for an on-the-water classroom experience to learn about the water of the Okanagan. “Like last year, the contest happens so close
to Earth Day when we’re looking at ways to look after the earth, so it makes the contest very relevant. And the contest fits so well with our curriculum,” Van Ziffle explained. “We all love going to the beach and playing in the water, boating and fishing. And because we have it so readily available, we don’t often recognize what a treasure and precious resource it is. This contest really helped direct our attention to what we can do to take care of it and not
just take it for granted.” Jackson adds: “The level of understanding among kids, at such a young age, is incredible.” Some of their suggestions to protect Okanagan water were: washing vehicles at the car wash or at least on the grass to prevent dirty water from entering storm drains. Picking up our pet’s poop and not littering so that it doesn’t end up in our water. Taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while we soap our hands. Collecting water in rain barrels and rain gardens. Planting gardens that use less water. “The contest was aimed at connecting kids to the water that they love to play in – Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, Osoyoos Lake, Coldstream and Mission Creek, and so many other spots. And they get it – they understand. We’ve got some amazing WaterWise ambassadors in this valley.” All entries can be found on the Okanagan WaterWise website at www.okwaterwise.ca/ challenge.

Golden time for Cherryville Morning Star Staff
A Cherryville tradition is truly golden. Cherryville Days will celebrate its 50th anniversary May 31 and June 1 and 2. “Some of the events from the first Cherryville Day continue to be held, and many new ones have been added,” said Lynne Frerichs, committee cochairperson. Festivities will begin with the family dance
on May 31, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cherryville Community Hall. It will be followed by heritage night. “The evening will include a showing of a movie of Cherryville Days 1967 and a presentation to the founders of Cherryville Days,” said Frerichs. On June 1, after a pancake breakfast in Hanson Park, the Cherryville Days parade will leave the Cherryville
Emporium on North Fork Road at noon. “The parade will be followed by lots of activities in Hanson Park, all day long, including the Bark in the Park pet show, a baking auction, the Kids Zone, games and the famous outhouse races,” said Gayle Rowan, committee cochairperson. “The Cherryville Farmers Market will also be held in Hanson Park.”

Stem Cell Activator
#63
Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bone marrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the blood stream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specialized function. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells or any other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skin layered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cells under our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastin and collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does not produce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased. Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the ability to rejuvenate tissues. <Women looking for anti-aging help! We all want to slow down aging. After using a bottle of Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 my skin seemed smoother and brighter. My hair looked healthier. It seems to have a cleansing effect. I’m delighted. Leona McCormick, 50, Clgary, AB < All around healing effect! The first thing I noticed after starting Bell Stem Cell Activator #63 was that my skin feels firmer and stronger. My friends commented that my skin looks more vibrant. My doctor at my yearly physical told me that my blood pressure is significantly lower. Many good things are happening. Joy Davison, 55, Calgary, AB
SNORING?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.
SLEEP APNEA?
Loose muscles in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking #23 up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.
Allergies
#24
are a modern epidemic
<I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered #31 I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB < For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH <Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX <God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems. The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY.

Provincial group asks to support purple day Morning Star Staff
The BC Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) is asking everyone to show support for the 40,000 British Columbians living with schizophrenia by showing their true colours today – as long as that colour is purple. “By wearing something purple to school or to work, we can help increase awareness of the need for more and better care for people with serious mental illness,” says BCSS Executive Director Jane Duval. One in 100 people in Canada are living with schizophrenia. With proper treatment and support, individuals and their family and friends can and do live happy, fulfilling lives. Better public education about the illness helps encourage early diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
The BC Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) is asking B.C. residents to: n Wear purple articles of clothing on May 24 as a show of support; n Take a photo of yourself and email it to development@bcss.org to post on our website; n You can also upload your picture to our Facebook and Twitter accounts as well as yours; n Learn the facts about schizophrenia and spread them using Facebook and Twitter; n Go to bcss.org to donate and help support vital community programs. BCSS is also asking other major tourist attractions to light themselves in purple on May 24. Inspiring understanding and compassion is the first step to improving the lives of people living with schizophrenia.

Krushen recaptures national glory Morning Star Staff
If Jessica Krushen had any rust after a six-year layoff from competitive rhythmic gymnastics, she certainly didn’t show it at the Canadian Individual Championships, which ended Tuesday in Ottawa. Krushen, one of eight Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics members competing, became the story of the event as she dazzled her way back onto the national team after just six months of training. The 23-year-old gradually increased her difficulty levels over the season, culminating in eight consistent routines and the overall senior gold medal in Ottawa. “It feels so good to be a member of the Canadian Andreotti national team again,” beamed Krushen, a Kal secondary grad and now three-time national champion. “I’m looking forward to next year and just feel so happy.” In other senior (Over 15) action, Kelsey Anderson, 20, performed clean routines for a ninth-place finish. Her Hamilton goal is to earn one of the two spots available to the World University Games in Kazan, Russia this summer. “She did everything in her power to make it happen, now we just have to wait and see if it was enough,” said Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastics head coach Camille Martens. Sisters Hannah and Loren Stanley finished 10th and 13th overall, respectively. “Loren and Hannah Stanley have become household names in the senior Canadian RG
scene,” said Martens. “Both known for their incredible control, unbelievable risks and powerful dynamics, they treated their fans to great routines in their final competition.” In the junior class (ages 12-14), Megan Hamilton, 13, continued her string of podium performances at westerns with a bronze medal at nationals. “Her attention to detail, incredible attitude turns and clean risks once again earned her many accolades,” said Martens. Tessa Rohatensky, also 13, followed up her sixthplace showing at westerns with 23rd in her firstever nationals appearance. She beat her personal best overall score by nearly two points. In the Novice (ages 10-11) competition, Jaedyn Andreotti, 10, surpassed expectation and established herself as a rising star with an impressive fourth. “Going up against the stronger teams from Quebec and Ontario, Jaedyn was aiming for top-12 at her first nationals,” said Martens. “She was like a rock – so steady. It was delightful to see her energized, instead of intimidated, by the environment.” Emma Jotie, 11, delivered four consistent routines to claim 11th place in just her second year of rhythmic gymnastics. Jotie surprised everyone at westerns where she came out of nowhere to win a silver medal in hoops and earn a seventh-place ranking heading into nationals. Said Martens: “I’m overjoyed with our team’s results. Seeing them shine up against so many outstanding athletes and teams was exciting. “To be the only club in all of Canada with medalists in each age category leaves me speechless. I am just so thankful to our amazing coaches, dedicated parents and outstanding athletes for making it all possible.”

BCHL adding two games to regular-season schedule Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Hockey League is considering a few tweaks to its scheduling as it heads into the 2013-14 season. Most notable is an increase from 56 to 58 regularseason games for the coming campaign. The finalized BCHL schedule will be announced in mid-June. Another issue under consideration is the league playoff format. Last season, Interior teams played two seven-game series to reach the Fred Page Cup final, while Coastal teams played two best-of-five sets, followed by a bestof-seven conference final to reach the Fred Page. Vernon Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson, who cochairs the league coaches committee with Nanaimo Clippers’ bench boss Mike Vandekamp, said several revised playoff
formats are being put forward for consideration by league governors at the AGM, June 6-8 in Richmond. Meanwhile, the Vipers expect to announce this weekend the future considerations headed to Vernon to complete the deal that sent centre Adam Tambellini to the Surrey Eagles at the carding deadline. Williamson said two Eagles will be joining the Viper den, while one current Vernon roster player is also bound for Surrey as part of the deal. The Vipers earlier announced the players they received in the Aaron Hadley deadline trade with the Nanaimo Clippers – forward Michael McNicholas, 19, and defenceman Josh Bryan, 20. Vernon, hosts of the 2014 RBC Cup national Junior A
championship, will jumpstart its main training camp on Monday, Aug. 19. The Vipers’ exhibition schedule begins with a home-andhome against the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The Gorillas host the Snakes on Friday, Aug. 23 at the Shaw Centre before visiting Wesbild Centre (which will be renamed Kal Tire Place on June 1) for a Saturday, Aug. 24 tilt. Vernon then heads to 100 Mile House for a Wednesday, Aug. 28 date with the Prince George Spruce Kings. They end the exhibition schedule with another home-andhome with the West Kelowna Warriors, beginning Friday, Aug. 30 at home. The Vipers visit the Warriors Saturday, Aug. 31 at Royal LePage Place. The regular season opens with the second annual Showcase tournament, Sept. 6-8 in Chilliwack.

The 1999 Valley Selects shut down the 99 Island Selects 4-0 Monday in the finals of the Challenger Cup Spring Rep Hockey Tournament at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Great hustle by the Valley Selects resulted in two powerplay goals by Brady Marzocco, assisted by Matt Kowalski and Austin Caldwell. Singles went to Owen Beliveau and Kowalski, into the empty net. The Island Selects pressed hard all game but Conor Webb was sensational to earn the shutout. The Valley entry, made up of players from Vernon, Kelowna, Spokane and the Kootenays, went 6-0 with Kowalski tying for the tournament points lead. Coaches are Murray Caton, Scott Kowalski and Brad Shaigec. The Selects opened preliminary play Friday by icing the Colorado T-Birds 2-0 on goals by Beliveau, from Jason Shaigec, and Shawn Campbell, assisted by Evan Mills. Shane Meadahl earned the shutout. On Saturday, the Valley boys clipped the Fraser Valley Jr. Heat 2-1 in a defensive battle that saw all the scoring take place in the third. Austin Caldwell converted from Liam Hennig, while Grady Caton netted the winner from Marzocco. Solid defence from Braden Jones and Ryan Moore supported Webb. Later in the day, the Selects bounced the Richmond Ravens Red 5-0, receiving dynamic defensive play from Ben Woodward, Riley Swiscoski, Caton, Shaigec, Jones, and Moore with Meadahl earning the shutout. On Sunday, the Selects grounded Colorado 5-0 in quarterfinal play with Webb the net detective. Kowalski registered the winner with

Timbermen trump Turn-Key Morning Star Staff
It was a rematch of last season’s North Okanagan Soccer League final and North Enderby Timber again got the better of Turn-Key FC, winning 2-1 on a rainy Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2. In what is always a highly-contested battle between the two familar foes, the teams used the drenched field as a launching pad throughout a highly physical, yet clean 90 minutes. Turn-Key (3-2) came out determined in the first half, using the soggy pitch to move the ball nicely with authority. Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Nathan Tucker opened the scoring on a beautiful lefty chip that caught NET (3-2) keeper Bryndon Buckham off the line. Turn-Key carried the play in the first half, using an attack in the midfield led by Evan Moore and Preston Tucker. It was 1-0 at the break. The second half saw NET make a concerted effort to shut down Turn-Key centre midfields Tucker and Moore which paid dividends as the Timbermen gained an edge in possession. NET equalized in the 60th minute when some hard work by defender Andy Stein led to a rare breakaway for Aclis Apparel Man of the Match Chris Ovens. Ovens made a magical cross to Brandon Enair, who kept his left-footed, one-timer low only to be stoned by a diving Gregg Douma for the Total Restoration Save of the Game. Harminder Sandhu outmuscled everyone to the rebound for the tap-in. NET kept up the strong play leaving little chances to either side in a war of midfields. Late in the second half, Corey Wallis broke free on a breakaway after a great flick from striker Evan Frederick. Wallis outran the Turn-Key defence and calmly slotted the ball bottom, left corner. Ovens then controlled the Timber midfield for the remaining minutes, shutting down the Turn-Key midfield. Concept Physio/Peters Tirecraft, meanwhile, earned their first point of the season by rallying to draw 2-2 with Nation of Domination Eagle Homes Wednesday night at Marshall #3. “That was a huge win for us,” said an elated Tirecraft veteran Brad Conlin. “I’m calling it a win. We fell behind 2-0 early and the guys fought back hard in the second half.” Eagle Homes scored top corner from the 18 and shortly after, got another one by terrific Tirecraft keeper Riley Spraggs when the rain made the ball too slick to handle on a rocket shot and the NOD forward buried the rebound.

Bryce Marshall (right) of North Enderby Timber lunges for the ball as he goes up against Taylor Horsting of Turn-Key in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field. NET recorded a 2-1 win. Spraggs registered some fantastic saves in the second half and Tirecraft responded when a crisp kick from Spraggs was knocked on by Matt Vanderhorst, sending Mohammed (Mo) Haliru though the middle of the defence. Haliru chipped one past the keeper with 20 minutes left. Shane Whitley then sent a 33-yard corker around the Eagle Homes’ wall for the equalizer with 10 minutes remaining. Conlin praised freshman centre defender Justin Mitchell for a phenomenal showing in anchoring the back four. Youngster Kyle Richardson also sparkled after switching to defence when Eagle Homes (3-1-1) went in front. The Riot FC ran to a 6-1 rampage over the Salmon Arm Outlaws at Marshall #4. Patrick Schindler scored four goals, while Nathan Gatenby and Dylan Towns added singles as the Riot went to 2-2-2. The Outlaws are 0-5. Salmon Arm Courvas grounded Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels 4-2 in a firstplace showdown at Marshall #4. Mo Singogo scored the Humpbacks’ opening snipe against the run of play, turning a defender and putting it in the corner. Fabrice N’Dri netted the second Camel goal off a scramble in the box from a
corner. Field conditions prevented both teams from any sustained possession with puddles robbing players of the ball and causing miss-timed tackles. The Camels (3-2-1) got standout performances from Nick Pantaleo, Nathan Whitling, Enzo Paal and keeper Bryn Knauf. Courvas went to 5-1. In other Wednesday night play, the host Revelstoke Stallions shut down Monashee Surveying of Vernon 4-0. Just five minutes in, Monashee (2-3-1) lost both their subs to injuries. The teams traded chances and tough challenges, going to the half scoreless. Monashee pushed hard and won a few corners and long shots. Nick Croken put one off the bar from 40 yards. Revelstoke opened the scoring on an amazing goal from the touch line that landed far top corner.Monashee then went down a man after a foul, the Surveyors claiming the referee failed to show their player his first yellow card. Revelstoke converted on two free kicks to go up 3-0 before finishing on a penalty kick after a last-man back handball infraction. The Red Robin Man of the Match for Monashee was Devon Marriott, who delivered some big plays in the middle.

Kickers ground Goplen Continued from A22
The Chick Kickers extended their winning streak to four games with a 5-1 win over the Goplen Drillers at Marshall #1. After 15 minutes of pressure in the Drillers’ end, Crystal Bergman scored to trigger the 3-1-2 Kickers’ attack. Jen Sorochuk, who was the Target game MVP, earned a hat trick in the first half and then added in a nice fourth in response to the 1-4-1 Drillers’ goal. Assists came from Bergman and Mel Jacobs. Michelle Johnson, Tania Sladen, and Kelly Challen were bold on the wings, with Bergman, Tina Garrison, Wendy Martens, and Wendy Magnus clutch in the middle. Sorochuck and Marilyn Vanderdeen were stellar in net. North Okanagan United and Shuswap Kaos also got soaked as they battled to a 1-1 draw at Marshall #3. Carly Bibby scored for NOU, who ran with just 10 players, most weary from the weekend tourney. Bibby and Carla Gibson operated the front line with help from middles Teresa Collins and Shelley Henry. Jan Townsend and Shelley Johnston played in pants. TED United of Salmon Arm joined the Impact at 5-0 after they trumped the Controllers 1-0 in a hard-fought battle in the rainy Shuswap. A fortunate bounce was converted into a rocket and snuffed out as Mickey Templeton of the Controllers (2-3-1) made a brilliant save on a point-blank attempt in the 20th minute. Minutes later, Felicia O’Gorman got her head on a Michele Wernicke corner and drove it just over the crossbar for the Controllers’ best chance of the scoreless half. A United forward broke in alone and was stoned again by Templeton early in the second half. Templeton was the J.C. Bradley Jewellers Lady of the Match for Vernon. The Controllers had some glorious chances but the TED United keeper denied Ang Durfeld, Jenn Spitzer and Wernicke. The winner came with 15 minutes left as Cathy Bartsch got it past Templeton after the ball had pin-balled around the 18. The Controllers got great games from mid-
fielders Durfeld, O’Gorman, Wernicke and Krista Copeland, with Michelle Mercer and Spitzer dangerous up front. Forwards Leslie Epp and Krista Backer, along with Jacquie Nuyens, Shawn Yargeau and Jenny Currie had strong games moving the ball forward. The back line of Val Percy, Brandie Hunter and Jody Pope held their own against a potent United attack. Heavy rain and wind helped Dr. Lee’s Dental bounce the AF Blazers 5-2 in Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #2. Dr. Lee’s (5-1) started the scoring with a sweet chip over keeper Katie Hatten’s head by Jacquie Hansen. The Blazers equalized when Blazer striker Shantell Hayhurst buried a 30-yard corker, but Jill Rintoul made it 2-1 on a 30-yard blast for her first goal since her youth soccer days. The Blazers (2-3-1) once again levelled the score when Jeruscha Bahmuller converted from Ali Clarke before Leah Frye put the Floss crew ahead for good on a great header on a cross from Hansen. Jenessa Moore recorded her first of the season on a great strike from just inside the penalty area and Ally Dodds finished things off with a precision run through the middle and a bullet to the corner. The North Enderby Timber Celtics toppled Wrap Zone 4-1 at Marshall #4. Jen Russell scored first for NET, streaking down the right side and hammering it off the out stretched keeper Carol Ann Bourdon, who volunteered to play net with both regular keepers absent. Jen Siegmueller calmly dribbled up the right side and chipping it over Bourdon for the 2-0 goal, while the Celtics’ 3-0 goal came from an indirect free kick inside the 18. Shannon Nolting played the ball to Ashley Krause, who hammered the ball over the six-player wall. Heidi Holtmann completed the scoring on a rebound. Hailey Noakes scored on a rebound of a penalty kick for the first-year Wrap Zone crew. Charmaine Biagioni made the initial save and almost stopped the second shot.

SportS BriefS Junior A Sun sign three prospects
Okanagan Sun head coach Shane Beatty has signed three players who attended last week’s spring Junior A football camp in Kelowna. Brett Chabidon, a 22-year-old defensive back from the East Side Eagles Majors (Winnipeg), joins the Sun for his final season of junior eligibility after sitting out last season following ACL surgery. Said Beatty on Chabidon: “When we brought him out to camp he just shined, a real physical kid, a great kid. Even though he is only going to be here one year I think he will press for a starting position right away and be a real leader for us because of his great personality as well as his ability.” Kelton Hurt, 19, is a 6-foot-3, 280-poundoffensive linemen from the Chinook High School Coyotes (Lethbridge). Beatty on Hurt: “He has a nasty streak to him. He has a lot of learning to do about the position still, but he has some nasty in him on the field, I like that about him. He got in a couple dustups on the field at camp, he didn’t back down from anybody out there.” Marcus Cooper, 18, is a 5-foot-8, 190-pound ruunningback from the Grande Prairie Composite High School Warriors, the alma mater of the late and great Sun RB Jeff Halvorson. The Sun opens the 2013 season Saturday, July 27 at the Apple Bowl against the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack.
Klymchuk earns MVP for TOFC U16s
The Thompson Okanagan FC Whitecaps Under 15 boys struck soccer gold in the U16 division at the Kamloops Slurpee Cup on the Victoria Day weekend. Vernon’s Nick Klymchyk supplied two goals and one assist for game MVP as TOFC toppled the Williams Lake Storm 4-0 in their second game after shutting down Kelowna United 2-0. TOFC used two goals from Zach Rachynski in a 2-0 opening win over the Kamloops Blaze and then Rachynski earned his fourth goal of the tournament as TOFC stopped Burnaby Wesburn Storm 3-0. The Whitecaps battled the towering Terrace Kermodes to a scoreless draw Monday to take the overall points title.
Hartwig drives in winning Sun Dial run
The Sun Dial Lighting Canadians outlasted the Kal Tire Canadians 13-12 in Midget baseball action Monday night at Marshall Field.

Sun Dial was led by Marshall Kazemir with three RBI, Hartwig with two hits and two RBI and Dylan Cleland with two hits, a walk and one RBI. Bantam call-up Landon Currie was exceptional in the outfield, throwing out a runner at home in the seventh to keep the game close. Top hitters for Kal Tire were Jake O’Quinn, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI and Tyler Liefke with two hits, two walks and one RBI.

Legends 7th in Richmond Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Legends grounded Kelowna 6-1 Monday to finish seventh in the 12-team Richmond Midget A Lacrosse Tournament. Game MVP Karson Patommel supplied 2+1 and some crushing hits that forced Kelowna to the outside. The Legends were without two injured players and one suspended. “We started the game with nine runners and by the midway point of the second, we were down to eight against Kelowna’s 17,” said Legends’ assistant coach Dave Deshane. “The boys ran them from the start and did a terrific job of not letting Kelowna get the ball and when they did, we kept their offence outside for our goalie to get a good view of the ball.” Tournament advancement was based on total points with each game worth five points based on win, loss, tie and periods won. The Legends snuckthrough because they were able to win a number of periods to go along with a win and a tie in preliminary play. North Okanagan opened by rallying to tie Vancouver 6-6 with game MVP Kyle Cuzzetto earning 2+1. North Okanagan then lost 7-3 to Semiahmoo of White Rock with the Legends falling behind 6-0 after one period due to penalty trouble. Marshall Box took MVP with a dynamic showing until breaking his arm in the late minutes. In Game 3, eventual champion Delta ambushed the Legends 12-4. The Legends went up 3-0 before Delta pounced on them for 11 unanswered goals, several on the powerplay. Game MVP was Legends’ goalie Dylan Hiemstra who stopped close to 50 shots. The Legends ended the round-robin by brushing back Richmond 8-4. Thomas Landels pulled the hat trick for Game MVP as the Legends stayed out of the penalty box. In Bantam action, North Okanagan B2 Legends earned a slice of redemption with an 8-4 doubling of the B1 Legends Tuesday at the Hassen Arena. Jake Pelletier led the B2 team with two goals, while Seth Waterstreet, Dalen Kenny, Tiege Doughty, Rhys Larsen, Sean Howard and Reece Hawthorne chipped in singles. Francois Leroux Jr. was stellar in the B2 net. Riley Swiscoski netted two and Brett Williams and Chase Bronson had singles for the B1 Legends. The B1 crew suffered its fourth straight loss Wednesday night as they fell 4-3 to the last-place Kelowna Kodiaks in Rutland. Dylan Henry, Shelby Connors and Tanner Franje-Gilbert handled the North Okanagan attack.

ne benefit of the surprising fourth term for the B.C. Liberal Party is that the provincial government won’t be subjected to another big, expensive ideological remake. Taxpayers are spared a bill of millions in severance pay for deputy ministers and other senior staff who would be purged in large numbers in the left-right lurch that has defined B.C. politics for a generation. BC Ferries will continue as an arms-length operation, with ferry commissioner Gord Macatee in charge of service levels as well as fare caps. The service rationalization that the government set out in the past year will continue. The NDP platform vowed to “position BC Ferries as an integral part of B.C.’s transportation infrastructure.” Freely translated, that

future demand for electricity in B.C., but it can only rise with industry and population growth. A decade of federal and provincial work to end duplication of environmental assessment won’t be undone. NDP leader Adrian Dix’s promise for “made in B.C.” reviews was a strategy to choke resource projects to death under endless procedure, which may yet be the fate the Jumbo resort. We will have a Seniors’ Advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints. That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it sank like a stone. We have 85 seniors’ advocates now. They’re called MLAs, and they definitely take complaints. They have staffed offices in their home communities and in Victoria. When they’re not doing political work that everyone denies is going on in constituency offices, those office staffers try to help people through the labyrinth of seniors’ at-home and institutional care. A new seniors’ advocate can offer advice at the management level to help the health care system evolve, but only elected politicians are positioned to tell individuals they can’t have what they are demanding. The government should be adding more direct services, not more bureaucrats. There will be many arguments about the failure of the NDP to win against an unpopular B.C. Liberal government that is still weighed down by the harmonized sales tax and other heavy baggage. This election could be the beginning of the end for the old left-right model for B.C. politics.

British bullwhips catch on
A
lthough the Spanish vaquero brought most of the tools of the cattle trade to the grasslands west of the Rocky Mountains, there were some items that found
their origins not in the salt marshes of southwestern Spain but in the highlands of Great Britain. In Britain the cattle herders, mostly women and children on foot,
controlled their cattle with long whips, called “bullwhips.” These whips were braided out of rawhide or tanned leather and it was claimed that a good bullwhip-wielding man
could control a hundred head of cattle. It is important to note that cattle were seldom struck by the whips but were controlled by the sound of the cracking of

the whip beside their heads. It is not surprising then that the introduction of British breeds of cattle into Jamaica and later South Carolina in the late 1600s saw the use of the cattle whip as the main cattle control device. In fact, the widespread use of the bullwhip gave the cowboys of the Carolinas and Florida their distinctive name, “crackers,” after the sound of the bullwhip that was used to manage cattle. The “crackers” became expert whip users and on the cattle trails and grasslands of the east, the whip became the main tool of the cowboy. The spread of cattle into the mid-west and eventually over the Oregon Trail to the area west of the Rockies also introduced the bullwhip, which proved to be indispensable in the tighter confines of the wooded valleys of Oregon and
Washington. Many drovers who pushed cattle into British Columbia in the 1860s were from families who had come from the mid-west over the Oregon Trail and they were familiar with the use of the bullwhip. Myron Brown, Ken Mather who was involved in three cattle drives from Oregon to B.C. in 1867 and 1868, was one of these and in his diary frequently records “mending my whip” or “braiding a new whip,” indicating how useful the bullwhip was in driving cattle. The other type of whip used by the British Columbia cowboys was the quirt, a short flexible wovenleather whip. It was made with a handle about a foot long and two to four heavy loose lashes hanging from one end and the other end with a loop to hang around

the cowboy’s wrist or saddle horn. The word is derived from the Spanish cuarta de cordon meaning “whip of cord.” Unlike the bullwhip, this type of whip was brought north from Mexico. The flexible handles of most quirts were loaded with shot or lead to give them weight. Some quirts were made with stiff handles because they were easier to handle. The quirt was used to strike down rearing horses that threatened to fall backwards or to make a horse increase its speed. Use of the bullwhip fell out of favour among the cowboys of British Columbia, who preferred to use the rope for controlling cattle. But anyone who has watched the classic Australian movie, The Man From Snowy River, where the hero, Jim Craig, drives a herd of wild horses with a stock whip alone, will realize that the British practice of using a bullwhip to control animals made the transition to Australia intact.

With Bike to Work Week approaching (May 27 to June 2) and warmer weather encouraging more cyclists on our roads, ICBC is asking drivers and cyclists to share our roads and help keep everyone safe. “Too often police officers see the devastating results of a crash between a bicycle and a vehicle,” said Chief Const. Jamie Graham, Traffic Safety Committee Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police. “Whether you’re a recreational cyclist or cycle to and from work, it’s important to always wear your helmet and follow the rules of the road. These crashes can be prevented – drivers and cyclists need to watch for each other at all times and use eye contact and hand signals to help anticipate each other’s next move.” John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety, regularly bikes to work and knows how important it is for drivers and cyclist to be aware of each other. “As a cyclist, I never assume drivers can see me and use multiple lights on the front and rear of my bike. When I’m driving, I give cyclists plenty of room so they’re able to react to the unexpected such as a car door suddenly opening into their path.” Here are ICBC’s tips for cyclists and drivers on how to share the road together: Tips for cyclists It’s important to perform regular maintenance and safety checks on your bike to prevent mechanical breakdown. The beginning of the cycling season is a good time to get a tune up. Check the tires and that both the front and rear brakes are working properly and clean, inspect and lubricate the gear, chain and derailleur.
Look for signs of wear on your helmet and make sure you use an approved bicycle helmet that meets safety standards.
77). Shoulder checking is very important, especially when making right-hand turns at intersections and
It’s the law in B.C. and you could be fined for not wearing one. Bike helmets can prevent up to 85 per cent of serious injuries, which account for 80 per cent of all related deaths. Position yourself so other road users can easily see you – don’t weave in and out of traffic and avoid riding in the blind spots of vehicles. When turning, always hand signal well in advance of any turn. First shoulder check, then hand signal and then with both hands on the handlebars, shoulder check again before turning. Wear bright, reflective clothing so you’re as visible as possible. If you ride at night, you’re required to equip your bike with a white headlight visible at 150 metres and a rear red light and reflector visible at 100 metres but consider adding more lights for increased visibility. Even still, never assume you have been seen by a vehicle – even when you have the right of way. Plan your route before you set off. If you’re new to cycling, take routes that are less busy and use bike lanes when possible. Cyclists must follow the rules of the road just like any other vehicle. Tips for drivers You should always actively look for cyclists in traffic. Wherever possible, make eye contact to let them know you have seen them. A cyclist often relies on eye contact as a means of communication as they try to anticipate your next move. Make yourself familiar with the hand signals that cyclists use. If you’re not familiar with them or need a refresher, read ICBC’s learn to drive smart guide (page
before you open your door to get out of your vehicle. When passing another vehicle, make sure you check for oncoming cyclists ahead of the vehicle you are
passing. If you want to pass a cyclist, make sure there is enough space as a significant number of cyclist crashes result from side-swiping. Drivers must yield to cyclists as they do any other vehicle and should maintain at least three seconds of following distance. Cyclists sometimes need to react quickly and unexpectedly to avoid hazards on the road so an increased distance will give you
more time to safely react. Do not drive, stop or park in a bike lane. If you need to cross a bike lane to turn right, or to pull to the side of the road, take extra care, signal well in advance and always yield to cyclists. Don’t honk your horn at a cyclist unless you need to give them a warning. A loud honk could startle them or even cause them to fall.

The senior federal Conservative cabinet minister from B.C. is calling on Senator Mike Duffy to resign in the wake of a growing scandal over improper repayment of expenses. Heritage Minister James Moore, the MP for Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, told CTV Tuesday Duffy should resign altogether. Duffy has already quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate after the disclosure that Nigel Wright, chief of staff for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, gave the embattled senator a cheque for $90,000 to repay expenses that may have been improperly claimed. Wright has since resigned his post. Under pressure to provide a public explanation of what happened, Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke to his caucus Tuesday morning in front of

the media, who weren’t permitted to ask questions. Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” about the conduct of some parliamentarians and of his own office, before leaving for South America on a trade mission. “Anyone who wants to use public office for their own benefit should make other plans or better yet leave this room,” Harper said. He said he didn’t get into politics to defend the Senate, a reference to his long-standing position it should be reformed as an elected body. The NDP Opposition have called for an RCMP investigation and the federal ethics commissioner is investigating. The Senate’s conflict of interest code forbids senators from accepting any gift or benefit “that could reasonably be considered to relate to the senator’s position.” The Parliament of Canada Act specifies that senators may not receive compensation “for services rendered ... in relation to any bill, proceeding, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation, arrest or other matter before the Senate or the House of Commons.” Those who offer such compensation may be liable to imprisonment for up to a year. Two other senators have also quit the Conservative caucus amid ongoing expense audits. Criticism of the ethical failures of Duffy and Wright have ruffled Conservative ranks across Canada, including in B.C., where the party holds 21 seats.

UBCO master’s student looks to her past and other sources for installation opening at the VPAG Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
As a child, Julia Prudhomme often visited the well-known theme park and hotel that bared her family’s name. Located on the shores of Lake Ontario near St. Catharines, Ont., Prudhomme’s Landing delighted the many who visited its Wet ‘n’ Wild Water Park and amusement rides. But what was most famous about the park was its haunted house, located in an old mansion on the property. Those who dared to walk inside the near equivalent of the Bates Motel, save for the cross-dressing murderer with mommy issues, often ran outside one of its “chicken” doors in a panic. The place, darkened and creepy, had its fair share of ghosts, whether real or not. Nonetheless, you could literally feel them grab you. Long sold by the family and subsequently closed, part of Prudhomme’s Landing, including its century old dance hall, succumbed to a fire in 2009. Now living in Kelowna, where she is finishing her master’s in fine art at UBC Okanagan, Prudhomme, at only 23, has a few ghosts of her own. They lie within her photobased and video installation work, which will soon be viewed in her exhibition, Just Passing Through,
opening at the Vernon Public Art Gallery Thursday. The exhibition is actually part of Prudhomme’s master’s thesis and reflects some of her family’s history, namely her great-grandmother from her mother’s side. After receiving her bachelor’s in fine art at St. Catharines’ Brock University in 2011, Prudhomme drove out to the Okanagan last summer after being accepted in the master’s program at UBCO. “I used to do stop-motion animation, installation and performance work, where I used photo cutouts, painting and drawing,” she said. “My work is processbased and self-directed... I like to playing with character roles, etiquette and performance.” Just Passing Through is best seen to be believed. Holed up in a log cabin studio on the UBCO campus, which she had 24 hour access to, Prudhomme also booked herself into the Chinook Hotel in Kelowna for two nights, where she shot some of her footage. It was there that she took on a few personas, one of them influenced by her great-grandmother, whose ghostly figure appears in many of her images as well as the eightmillimetre film. They have a ‘60s-style tone to them and show Prudhomme performing simple gestures such as sewing and pouring milk. “I have been putting myself into my work, and have an intense relationship with my work. It is not necessarily obviously personal. I like to grapple with ideas, collective ideas and aspirations... I like to dress up. I’m like a little kid stuck in a grown-up world.” Naming her character LuLu Miller after her great-grandmother,

Julia Prudhomme takes on the character of LuLu Miller in this video still image from her installation, Just Passing Through, opening at the Vernon Public Art Gallery Thursday. Prudhomme specifically used her ancestor’s travel diaries to get a better understanding of her past and found connections to her own life. “My family is of GermanMennonite background, a Heinz 57 mixture, and I was fascinated with LuLu who died just before my twin brother and I were born,” she said. “There’s always that linear part of family where you hear about who you look like and who you act like. Most of my family is out east, but before I came out here, my grandmother told me of her mother and her trips out west. She always had her suitcase packed. She was always attracted to the west... I thought it would be neat to follow in her footsteps.” An obsessive reader, Prudhomme was also influenced by other sources, namely Amy Vanderbilt’s Etiquette, a 1951 etiquette guide written by a descendant of the Vanderbilts, as
well as a highly publicized first‐ degree marital murder case in San Bernardino Valley, which was recounted in Joan Didion’s collection of essays, Slouching Towards Bethlehem. She also gleaned from Harold Pinter’s 1957 stage play, The Birthday Party. “I read a line in the play that started: ‘Lulu, a girl in her 20s....’ Her character was minimal; it’s more about the male characters, but I took her performance in the play and shaped an entire world from it. I spent time with all these fragments,” she said. “All of this had me questioning myself and being reflective on why I was doing what I was doing. It forced me to look back at the etiquette book and I linked it to my own family. I became interested in how women were supposed to act and look back then.” The resulting video installation and photographs tell the frag-
mented narrative of this character, which Prudhomme hopes will translate to those who come see her exhibition. “I wanted to create something authentic... I hope that it is interesting for those who see it as it was to make.” Prudhomme’s Just Passing Through opens at the Vernon Public Art Gallery along with UBCO’s BFA graduation exhibition Continuum, West Kelowna artist Petula Pettman’s Flowers and Tears, featuring the artist’s stone sculptures, and the Mackie Lake House artist-in-residence James Postill, of Coldstream, showing his Hidden Treasures. Opening reception is Thursday, May 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. The work, except Postill’s, can be viewed until July 25. Postill’s work is up to June 28. Visit vernonpublicartgallery.com for more information.
Local artists are showcased for eighth year at Nadine’s Fine Art
Okanagan artists and art lovers will be out in droves when Nadine’s Fine Art and Frames holds its eighth anniversary open house May 31 from 6 to 10 pm. “We will be celebrating with entertainment by Holly Smith and enjoying the warm and inviting personalities of the artists who share

tures the sadness and futility of the lyric. Similar moods are brought up on Free Life and Maines’ autumnal cover of Jeff Buckley’s Lover You Should’ve Come Over. The songs have dark shadings but Maines and her band sound joyously “in the zone.” It does sound like a group effort, rather than a solo excursion. The material, both covers and the Maines-Harper originals, is a cohesive roots-rock collection that is connected by Maines’ emotionally focussed performance. Some tracks bite hard like Trained, which is straight-up hard rock and Come Cryin’ to Me, which has a high, lonesome cry set to a roadhouse groove. Maines has an edge going on with Mother and her keening voice and forceful material signal a change of direction to rock and roots-based sounds.

Duo brings Texas meets B.C. Tour to Coldstream Morning Star Staff
Their meeting reads like a song: Canadian girl travels to Austin, Texas on a whim. Moves in with a friend and his roommates. One of those roommates is Elijah Ford. The girl is Genevieve Rainey. On daily morning walks, the two find common ground in music, faith and life. They make fast friends. They make a record. Girl moves home to B.C. A vow is made to join efforts once again and tour. That time is now. Last seen locally with fellow B.C. songbirds Aspen Switzer and Elaine Ryan, of For the Birds, Rainey returns to Friesen’s Countrytyme Gardens in Coldstream, this time with Ford, June 1. “The duo will be backed by a live band and will entice audiences with tales of broken hearts and the broken yellow line of countless miles of living on the road,” said Lowell Friesen, who with Jayme McKillop, has been organizing outdoor concerts at Friesen’s for the past year. Rainey says her pairing with Ford was musical kismet when they met three years ago. The two are slotted to take Vancouver Island and the B.C. Interior by storm with their brand of folk/ country and pop/rock. Said to have a sound reminiscent of Canadian crooner Rufus Wainright with the lyrical sensibility of Dave Bazan,

B.C. artist Genevieve Rainey joins up with Texas-based musician Elijah Ford on a tour that takes them to Friesen’s Countrytyme Gardens June 1. Ford is a California native turned Austin-based musician who began his solo career after breaking from touring with Oscar and Grammy winner Ryan Bingham. No stranger to the industry, Ford is the son of former Black Crowes’ guitarist Marc Ford, and toured as part of Ford Sr.’s Fuzz Machine at the age of 17 before getting the gig with Bingham, where he stayed until 2012. Ford has also released two solo albums, Upon Waking in 2011 and his new EP, Ashes, released in October. A self-called “nomadic Canadian,” Rainey has travelled, and briefly lived, in most cities
in the Great White North. She started her performing journey playing a show at the famous El Mocambo in Toronto at the tender age of 16. Not a stranger to rowdy bars and yet perfectly comfortable in a brooding coffeehouse, Rainey has opened for death metal bands, hip-hop crews (and rapped a few verses), drag queens, burlesque beauties, Canadian heavyweights such as Joel Plaskett, Men Without Hats and The Grapes of Wrath, and indie darling Jasmin Parkin. She has also busked the sidewalks of Montreal, Halifax, L.A., Austin, London, Glasgow and Vienna.
Rainey says her style is casual country with a folk music heart and her banter is part “ranting drunken sailor, part helium.” Opening for the duo will be local act The WestWind, who will combine stunning threepart harmonies with luscious renditions of classic folk songs. Friesen’s will be open for coffee, tea and desserts as well as a cash bar during the Saturday, June 1 concert. Tickets are $15 available only in advance at the Bean Scene or Friesen’s, located at 9172 Kalamalka Rd. Doors open at 6 p.m. and show is at 7 p.m. Children 12 and under are free.

Volunteers with Zimbabwe Project Canada on their recent trip to the African country where they helped out schools, health clinics and orphanages as well as various projects in rural communities.
A helping hand for Zimbabwe Sandie Hoberg Special to The Morning Star
Zimbabwe Project Canada (ZPC) is a collaboration of people who donate their time and skills to help those who are less fortunate in Zimbabwe, Africa. It is a locally based registered charitable organization whose mission is to “help impoverished children and families in Zimbabwe by creating opportunities for education, health, child care and sustainable community projects.” The 2013 Zimbabwe Project Canada Team recently returned from a busy threeweek trip to Zimbabwe where they travelled over countless bumpy miles visiting villages, schools, health clinics, and orphanages as well as ZPC-sponsored projects in rural communities. The team also participated in a weekend leadership training workshop where community leaders were brought in to learn some of the proposal writing, financial management and communication skills necessary in order for communities to manage their own local projects. The team also held a multi-day women’s conference in one of the many villages they visited. The
conference covered a number of subjects related to health and well being, including information about HIV/AIDS, the many uses of aloe vera (which grows abundantly and wild in the country) and exercises on self-empowerment and stretching. Also one of the team members taught the ladies a jazz dance, Canadian style, which they thoroughly enjoyed. They, in turn, taught the team a traditional Zimbabwean dance which was great fun and caused no end of laughter for the village ladies. Zimbabwe is a country with some one million children who have been orphaned by HIV/Aids. These orphaned children often live with grandmothers or other extended family in the community, but these families usually struggle to feed everyone, and the orphans are often unable to attend school as they have no means to pay the required school fees. A primary focus of the ZPC is to facilitate these orphaned children to be fed and educated and we do this by funding community-driven initiatives that will provide a source of self-sustaining income which will support the community and therefore the children and families, over the long
term. Some of the projects sponsored by ZPC include pig and poultry raising, carpentry and sewing workshops. All the projects are developed by the community leaders with community input and must have the approval of the community chief to be accepted for funding. Each year a ZPC team travels to Zimbabwe to visit the projects, assess the success of the project and help the community trouble shoot if required. As a result of these frequent visits to Zimbabwe by the team, many special and lasting relationships have been built between Canadians and Zimbabweans. ZPC is a wholly volunteer organization with no administrative or overhead costs. All monies raised go directly to projects in Zimbabwe and are raised yearround through various means such as the Zimbabwe walk, silent auctions, the Zimbabwe dinner and auction as well as through many and various generous donations from both individuals and businesses/organizations in our community. For more information about the project and the work we do, or if you would like to make a tax-deductible donation please see www.zimbabweproject.com

Great kids despite parents
ear Annie: My wife and I are caught up in our son’s dysfunctional marriage. “Martin” and his wife have three children together, and he has an older child from a previous marriage. All of the children are wonderful. They do well in school. But their Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar mom and dad hate each other, drink too much and fight constantly. Martin was recently fired after several incidents at work, some of them physical. They lost their home and now rent. They each accuse the other of being crazy and stupid. One sleeps constantly. They do not communicate in any way. They have given up hope of ever being happy or ever achieving anything. We listen to them and can’t decide who is right or wrong. We think they are
annie's mailbox
both at fault, but we have no idea how to help them. Divorce is out of the question. They’ve been to counseling and thought it was a joke. We’re getting too old for this. — Usually Have an Answer Dear Usually: There is no definitive “right” or “wrong.” Your son and his wife have an alcohol problem and other issues that they are not addressing. No one should endure such an unhappy life if things can be done to make it better. Please urge them to go back to counseling for their children’s sake. If they didn’t like the first counselor, they can look for someone who is a better fit. They can go separately or together. They also should look for a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the kids can check out Alateen (al-anon.alateen.org). In the meantime, please offer to take those children into your home as often as possible so they have some semblance of stability. Dear Annie: My widowed mother is 79 years old and has been diagnosed with mild dementia that is getting progres-
sively worse. She lives alone, and I am 10 minutes away. Here’s my question: What is the best way to care for my mother? When will I know the time is right to place her in a nursing home? What kind of facility is best? I have a sister, but she has nothing to do with me. I feel alone and naive about Mom’s care. Do you have any suggestions? — Doing It Myself Dear Doing: A lot of this is dictated by finances. Can your mother afford round-theclock care in her own home? That is often the kindest solution. Is there an affordable CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) that offers independent living, followed by assisted living, followed by nursing home care as needed? You can contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare. gov) at 1-800-677-1116 to find resources in your area. Or, if you can afford it, you can get help navigating your options by hiring a private care manager through the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers at caremanager.org.
Son of Man. A term like the ‘son of God’, which is now chiefly associated with Christ and is used both in the OT and the NT. Christ employed this expression to designate Himself some 80 times. It portrays Him as the Representative Man. It designates Him as the “last Adam” in distinction to the “first man, Adam.” It sets Him forth as ‘the second man...from heaven’ as over against the “first man...from the earth.” “The Son of Man” as “the Son of David” is distinctly His Jewish name and “the Son of God” as His Divine name.

Dix staying on as B.C. NDP leader Tom FleTcher Black Press
Adrian Dix is staying on as B.C. NDP leader while the party reviews its performance in the May 14 election and prepares for four more years in opposition. Dix didn’t specify a time frame for the election post-mortem, but said he will work to prepare the NDP opposition to hold the government to its election commitments. “I assure you this review will spare nothing and no one, least of all me,” Dix told a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday. “It must address the strategy and tactics we employed in the election, and it must examine the fundamental question of who we are as a party and our relationship with the people of B.C.” Dix took responsibility for mishandling a campaign that began with the NDP expecting a strong majority government after four years of turmoil in B.C. Liberal ranks over the harmonized sales tax and other issues.
He singled out as a significant error his surprise mid-campaign decision to turn against the proposal to expand the TransMountain oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby and Washington state. Dix expressed no regret for avoiding negative advertising, although he was targeted by a long string of ads questioning his personal integrity and competence. He stood by his choice as an attempt to engage more voters, but the campaign didn’t deliver a significant increase in the 51 per cent participation rate of the 2009 vote. “I don’t believe last week’s results are the end of positive politics in B.C.,” Dix said. “The answer to the Liberals’ populist, right-wing playbook is not to simply adopt it.” Instead of pushing Premier Christy Clark out of the job, the NDP ended up down three seats to 33 and the B.C. Liberals increased their majority to 50 seats. Delta South indepen-
dent Vicki Huntington was re-elected, and the B.C. Green Party made a breakthrough with the election of their first MLA, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. Clark is expected to meet with her team of candidates in Vancouver Thursday.
Black Press files
NDP leader Adrian Dix says he will prepare to face the B.C. Liberal government when the legislature reopens later this year.

The
Bridge by Phillip Alder
WITH MORE POINTS, BID THREE TIMES Robert Benchley, a humorist who died in 1945, said, “If you think that you have caught a cold, call in a good doctor. Call in three good doctors and play bridge.” Or if your pet is ill, call in three vets who are good bridge players. Have a look at the North hand in today’s diagram. It has the same distribution as yesterday’s, 3-1-5-4, and the uncontested auction starts the same way: one diamond -- one spade. Yesterday, North rebid two spades. But today’s hand has more points, 16 instead of 13; what difference does that make? With the extra high-card points, North needs to bid
more strongly, but he lacks the fourth trump for a jump to three spades. Instead, he hopes to bid three times by rebidding two clubs. Here, South will rebid two diamonds, showing only 6-9 points, fewer than six spades, and a preference for diamonds over clubs. Now North continues with two spades. First, this says that despite South’s hand being so weak, game is still possible. (If it were not, North would have to pass out two diamonds.) So, North is showing some 16 or 17 high-card points and probably this hand distribution. Then South has enough to jump to four spades. If West were clever, he would lead the spade jack. But let’s assume he chooses the
heart king. Declarer wins with his ace, ruffs a heart, plays a diamond to his ace, trumps his last heart, and continues with the spade king. East wins and returns his second diamond, but South takes the trick with dummy’s king, discards his last diamond on the third club, and loses only two more spade tricks.

Leota Charlotte Caroline Brant (nee Rolland)
was born on November 12th, 1912 and was called Home to be with her Lord on May 17th, 2013 at the age of 100 years, 6 months and 5 days. Leota will be lovingly remembered by two sisters-in-law, Gwen and Margaret; twelve nieces and nephews; thirty-nine great nieces and nephews; ĮŌy-Įve great-great nieces and nephews; ten great-great-great nieces and nephews; and her church family at Living Word Lutheran Church. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Fredric William (Fred) Brant; two sisters, Minnie and Margaret; and Įve brothers, Philip, Peter, Henry (Hank), Albert and Ted. Leota was born in Govan, Saskatchewan, ũust seven months aŌer the sinking of the Titanic, the sixth child born to Peter & Catherine Rolland.

Diploma from the University of Toronto Conservatory of Music on August 31st, 1931 and began teaching piano to young children in Regina, Saskatchewan. In the 1940s Leota moved to Vancouver, B.C. where she worked as a bank teller. Leota’s love of music enabled her to enũoy such concerts as the Fritz Kreisler, Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Russian Ballet. Leota married Fred Brant on New zears Day, 1945 in Vancouver and they set up their home together in Calgary, Alberta where Fred worked at the Ɵme. AŌer Fred’s reƟrement they moved to Vernon where they both remained unƟl their passing. Leota was a faithful member of Living Word Lutheran Church and will be remembered as a woman who possessed a wonderful, cheerful personality and always had a warm smile for everyone. CremaƟon preceded the Funeral Service which will be held at Living Word Lutheran Church on Friday, May 24th, 2013 at 10:30 A.M. with Pastor Harald Schoubye oĸciaƟng. Interment of Leota’s cremated remains will follow in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery.
