Changes made, but no net cuts RICHARD ROLKE
A Vernon politician is accusing his colleagues of shuffling the deck chairs instead of making a serious effort to reduce staffing. It was revealed Thursday that, as part of a core services review, restructuring is occurring within two departments. Some positions will disappear but others will be created, meaning no net change to the number of personnel. “I don’t agree with this reorganization,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “It’s just moving positions around instead of creating a new dynamic.” Restructuring of community development will include the creation of an economic development planner and a manager of longrange planning and sustainability. They will be funded through the elimination of the environmental planner position, the transfer

on the core services report produced by KPMG. “The report says we’re not overstaffed compared to other jurisdictions and we’re understaffed in planning,” she said. There has been some anxiety among city employees since the core services review was initiated last year. Some were concerned that there could be widespread layoffs. However, that hasn’t occurred and CUPE president Ken Juniper believes most workers will accept the process. “We were never fat to start with and the KPMG report satisfied council,” he said. KPMG had recommended combining operations and engineering into one department but that has been rejected. Current staffing levels in the human resources department will also be maintained.
“It’s moving positions around instead of creating a new dynamic.”

of 0.5 time of the transportation demand management co-ordinator to engineering, reallocation of the 0.35 building inspector funding from a 2014 carry-forward and reallocation of a portion of the economic development project and planning budget. Council will also consider the creation of a parks planner during the 2014 budget process. Beyond Spiers, the new community development structure was also opposed by Councillors Catherine Lord and Patrick Nicol. In the safe communities unit, there will be a reduction of possi-
bly one staff position. The unit will be refocused on the core services of a community policing office by providing educational and safety programs. All council members supported changes within the safe communities unit. Mayor Rob Sawatzky supports the direction the city has taken overall with spending. “The organization has already reduced staff over the past year and we will continue with that effort,” he said. Coun. Juliette Cunningham says staffing decisions were based
O’Keefe Ranch is being warned that taxpayer funding is on a short leash. As part of the core services review, a majority of council voted Thursday to continue with a $150,000 annual grant for the city-owned historic site. But in 2016, that will drop to $100,000, followed by $50,000 in 2015 and $10,000 in 2016. “This thing needs a critical path,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. There is a hope that by establishing a timeline, other options for revenue generation will materialize. “It may be an impetus for other partners to support the ranch when they realize this (city funding levels) isn’t a forever thing,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham referring to agencies like the regional district. City administration had recommended curtailing the grant schedule in 2014, with $10,000 being the end-point in 2016. Staff says $10,000 was selected because it’s outlined in a contract between the city and the O’Keefe Ranch Society. However, Coun. Catherine Lord, a former ranch manager, disagrees with that interpretation. “The $10,000 contract is for capital only and not operations,” she said. Opposition to reducing the grant starting in 2016 came from Mayor Rob Sawatzky and Councillors Bob Spiers and Patrick Nicol. Sawatzky believes reductions in the taxpayer subsidy should have begun in 2014. “This has been going on for more than 18 years,” he said of financial challenges at the ranch. “It has to be rationalized in some other ways.”

Board dumps on landfill proposal richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Coldstream firefighters respond quickly to a fire that started in floor space above a carport Wednesday at a home located on Briar Drive. Damage was confined to the carport and deck area.
Quick action saves Coldstream home roger knox Morning Star Staff
A homeowner’s keen sense of smell and quick reaction from the local volunteer fire department prevented significant damage to a Coldstream home Wednesday. The owner of a house on Briar Drive was leaving to
go downtown around noon when she smelled smoke. “She was looking around and thought it was coming from the neighbours, that’s when she saw smoke whisking out of the stucco,” said Dave Sturgeon, deputy fire chief with the Coldstream Fire Department. Firefighters arrived quick-
ly and saw smoke showing from the floor space above the carport. They broke the stucco away and were able to put out the fire with water. “Basically the whole front deck of the house and carport have to be repaired, as the structure beams were burned out,” said Sturgeon. “If the homeowner had gone
Plans for a dangerous intersection are being trashed. The Regional District of North Okanagan is opposing a Ministry of Transportation proposal to turn the intersection of Highway 97 and Birnie Road into a right-in, right-out only at the Greater Vernon landfill. “Can we end up with something they want and that we detest?” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson, at Wednesday’s board meeting. The concern from the regional district is that the right-out on to Highway 97 would force landfill users to go to Highridge or Bailey roads. “Every commercial (waste) operator will have a problem with that option,” said director Bob Fleming. “It will mean they have to go to Bailey Road to turn around and get Bob Fleming back on to the highway or they will go back through the Commonage. There will be a huge impact on time and fuel.” Fleming is also concerned that safety conditions at Bailey and Highridge roads could also worsen as landfill traffic creates a conflict for vehicles on the highway. RDNO staff have written the ministry about the concerns and have suggested an another alternative, a oneway bridge from Birnie Road northbound to Highway 97 crossing the highway. “It’s the better option from a safety perspective,” said Fleming. Part of the cost of constructing the bridge could come from landfill tipping fees. RDNO directors have demanded a meeting with the ministry after there was no response to a March 12 letter. “They don’t want to seem to listen,” said Dale McTaggart, general manager of engineering. According to the ministry, it is in the early stages of engineering work on intersection improvements and a variety of options are being considered. “As we move forward, we will continue to work with stakeholders and local government, including the City of Vernon and RDNO, on improvement plans,” the ministry states.
downtown, the fire would have kept going up through the floor, would have gone into the house and we would have had a full-blown fire.” There was no damage done inside the house, though some smoke did get inside. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

his vote count). It was important to get the message out,” he said.

The election that wasn’t has become a time for reflection. Polls had forecast an NDP victory but the Liberals’ hold on power stayed firm Tuesday, winning 50 out of 85 seats in the Legislature. “Obviously they don’t do a good job polling,” said Eric Foster, who was handily re-elected as Liberal MLA for VernonMonashee. Out of 184 ballot boxes reporting, Foster received 11,282 votes or 46.87 per cent compared to 8,148 or 33.85 per cent for Mark Olsen, of the NDP. Scott Anderson, with the Conservatives, had 2,871 votes or 11.92 per cent while Green Rebecca Helps had 1,620 or 6.73 per cent. Independent Korry Zepik received 155 votes or 0.65 per cent. For the Liberals, the big question is how to handle leader Christy Clark losing her Vancouver seat. “We owe a greater part of our success to her efforts,” said Foster of the Liberals’ majority win. “She worked hard across the province. I don’t believe she should resign.” An option is for someone who won a seat to step aside so Clark can run in a by-election to possibly get a seat in the Legislature. “It will be her call and the party’s call,” said Foster. When asked if he would be willing to vacate his seat for Clark, Foster said, “I don’t think I will be asked. It would be somewhere in Vancouver if that happens.” The future of NDP leader Adrian Dix will also be front and centre after the party failed to live up to expectations that it would form government. “It will be up to Mr. Dix and the party itself. Adrian is a good man,” said Olsen. Olsen admits the NDP will have to analyze how it went from leading opinion polls to coming in second place. “We ran a positive campaign and the Liberal campaign seemed to resonate with people. I can’t explain it,” he said.

Kyllo got 11,342 votes or 48.05 per cent, followed by NDP Steve Gunner with 6,972 or 29.53 per cent and Conservative Tom Birch with 3,045 or 12.90 per cent. Green candidate Chris George had 2,186 or 9.26 per cent and Johanna Zalcik, of the Advocational, Party took 62 votes or 0.26 per cent. The Liberals defied pre-election polls that had the NDP forming the next government. “I am looking forward to working in government, not opposition,” said Kyllo after several congratulatory hugs from ecstatic supporters. Kyllo’s campaign office was infused with a party atmosphere less than an hour after the polls closed, when the Liberals were already leading in 46 polls. He credited his campaign team for the win, saying no one person could have done it alone. “I am absolutely humbled by the number of volunteers who have come forward,” he said, noting his first move as MLA will be to reacquaint himself with his wife and four daughters. “This has been allconsuming, 24-7.” With the youngest of four daughters now 18 and his Sicamous businesses in good hands, Kyllo said the time is right for moving into the new challenges a political career will offer. “I have extremely big shoes to fill and lots to learn,” he said. “And I’m up for the challenge.” The big shoes belong to outgoing MLA George Abbott who held the post for 17 years and has provided the new MLA with invaluable advice and support, Kyllo says.

Greg Kyllo, Liberal candidate, embraces his daughter Samantha while he listens to some of the results at his campaign headquarters in Salmon Arm. At NDP campaign headquarters, a subdued group of volunteers watched as the Liberal lead in B.C. grew. Candidate Steve Gunner, not one to blurt out unreasoned answers during the campaign, held true to form on Tuesday night. “I would hate to look at the big picture just yet. It would take more analysis than we can do at the moment,” he said, adding, “Obviously this is a fairly surprising result for British Columbia, not what we would expect to be getting. I think it’s going to make people a little more skeptical about polls. At the same time, it also says a lot about what can go on in a person’s mind between the time they make a decision and the time they sit in a polling station and have to put pen to paper.” Gunner was highly complimentary of his team and the work they did for him. “I did not think it would be possible to get so many people to work
together for so long… It was absolutely humbling and inspiring to see how hard people worked.” Despite the disappointing loss, Gunner, who operates an organic turkey and chicken farm with his spouse Andrea, won’t be taking time off to ponder his fate. As she gave him a hug at the end of the evening, she reminded him that there were chickens to be looked after in the morning. Conservative Party candidate Tom Birch wound up in third place. Birch was confident heading into the preliminary count and felt good about the campaign. Prior to the results, he said he thought it would be a close three-way race, saying that the high voter turnout and good advanced voting turnout favoured the political right. As the votes came in, he was slightly surprised at the gap. “Well, I’m obviously disappointed with the way it broke,” Birch said.
Birch hopes the winner takes seriously the fact they represent 100 per cent of the people. “I’m sure I’ll be a little more down tomorrow but it’s all the way it has to be, people have spoken,” Birch said. Green Party candidate Chris George landed in fourth, saying the results were on track with his predictions. “Pretty much what I was expecting,” he said. “We obviously don’t have the deep pockets of the other parties. We relied on town halls, getting out on door steps, making phone calls and a pretty stiff Facebook campaign.” George was happy to see Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver win his riding, Oak Bay-Gordon Head, saying these steps are the foundation for starting a political party. “It’s much of a truism that much of our politics is based on fear and the way that the other parties ran their campaigns, that was very evident,” George said.

Mayor targets flood threat richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The Village of Lumby is pointing fingers over flooding as the threat of legal action washes in. Mayor Kevin Acton is demanding the Regional District of North Okanagan do more to manage flows on Duteau Creek as high water becomes a problem. “The creek has been flooding into people’s property,” he told the RDNO board Wednesday. “We have been threatened with a lawsuit. People are talking class action lawsuit.” While the village is the official diking authority, Acton Kevin Acton insists RDNO controls water flow on Duteau Creek as part of Greater Vernon’s water utility. “The village has no authority over water going through the community,” he said. Flooding is related to excessive snowmelt spilling over RDNO’s reservoirs on the Aberdeen Plateau. However, Acton says RDNO should have let water out of the reservoirs a month ago, when the creek level was low, to make sure there was room in the reservoirs for snowmelt and to avoid flooding downstream. “Lumby is in a situation where we may have to invest money in lawyers and repairs and it comes from the controls on Duteau Creek,” he said. However, RDNO officials say they can’t let water out of the reservoirs early, because, depending on weather conditions over the next few months, that water may be needed for domestic supply this summer. “If you direct us to manage the reservoirs for flood control, we will run out of water early,” said Trafford Hall, administrator. Snowmelt spilling over the reservoirs and into the creek is a natural process. “We’re not actually increasing or decreasing the flow,” said Dale McTaggart, general manager of engineering, referring to a managed system. There has been some suggestion of possibly increasing the height of the Aberdeen Lake reservoir to expand water supply. If that were to occur in the future, there could also be room for potential flood water. Little sympathy came from Acton’s counterparts. “This isn’t the first year it has flooded,” said director Doug Dirk. Acton is not impressed with the response he is getting from RDNO. “Immediate property damage or run out of water? I will take run out of water. There are other options (for drinking water), like Kalamalka Lake,” he said. Acton says the regional district must be responsible for protecting private property and take action when property is damaged. “If you want to control the water and set it aside for future use, you need to do it safely,” he said.

No excuse for not voting
T
here seems to be plenty of buzz after the big election. From a premier who couldn’t win her own riding to a political party that blew a lead of Toronto Maple Leaf proportions, there has been no shortage of chatter on social media channels this week. Too bad that post-ballot buzz didn’t translate into a larger voter turnout as there was an equal amount of discussion over peoples’ willingness to perform their civic duty. A mere 52 per cent of the electorate bothered venturing to the polling stations this time around, which is just two points better than this province’s all-time low (50 per cent turnout in the last provinGraeme Corbett cial election in 2009). My immediate reaction to this is anger and irritation. It took me 10 minutes from the time I parked my car at Hassen Memorial Arena (I live in the Shuswap riding now), found my proper voter table, put an ‘X’ on the ballot, and dropped it in the box, to the time I re-buckled my seat belt. Not exactly an onerous task, especially when you compare it to other democracies around the world. According to the CBC, at least 29 people died in election-related bombings and shootings in Pakistan’s recent national election. Despite the threat to their personal safety, they had a 60 per cent turnout. Not bad for 180 million people in a country that is fumbling through its democratic infancy. So what’s B.C.’s excuse? My guess is apathy, combined with a lack of belief in the political system and the people who run it. I read some interesting Facebook posts from people who chose not to vote. The first was from a friend who said he didn’t follow politics, party leaders or their platforms. His point
At rAndoM
was why should an uninformed person such as himself bother voting? In his words: “You might as well get a blindfolded monkey to check the box.” I can sympathize, but it’s not an overly convincing argument when the vast majority of people have the Internet at their fingertips. I’m hardly what you would call politically savvy (probably shouldn’t admit this, but I still get confused by left and right), which is why I visited www.votecompass.ca to brush up on the candidates and what they represent. Vote Compass is an interactive electoral literacy application developed by political scientists and run during election campaigns. It offers an accessible framework for learning about party platforms and encourages democratic participation within the electorate. In completing the online poll, I discovered I am a lefty in more than just snowboarding and playing pool. Another Facebook friend said he had no faith in the system, so why should he spoil a vote on a process he doesn’t believe in? That’s a difficult point to argue. While our democratic freedom affords us the right to vote, who’s to say that same freedom shouldn’t give us the right not to vote? My only way to counter that (and this is broad-stroke thinking) is to point out that if people don’t exercise their right to vote, democracy fails. What are you left with? Maybe they should add an extra circle on the ballot that says “none of the above” so disgruntled voters can give voice to their frustration. At the very least, it would guarantee a boost in the turnout. I leave you with this gem regarding the pollsters’ inability to pick the next premier. A Tweet from a gentleman named Anthony Floyd (@AnthonyFloyd): “I don’t know why everyone’s surprised at the polls being wrong, BC drivers don’t signal their intentions, why should voters?”
One has to wonder how often Ministry of Transportation staff visit the Greater Vernon landfill? If it is with any frequency, they would understand that restricting access to Birnie Road, at Highway 97, to rightin, right-out movements is completely illogical. Obviously this plan is a reaction to high-risk left-turns at the intersection, but all rightin-right-outs would do is force motorists leaving the landfill down the highway to Highridge and Bailey roads. From there they can use Commonage Road to go back into Vernon, but that isn’t an effective option for residents of Coldstream or parts of the city. What is more likely to happen is motorists making leftturns at Bailey Road to head back home or attempting illegal turns on the highway where possible. Safety will be put at risk. Also, the ministry plan will generate more time on the road for commercial waste haulers. That will mean less time fulfilling contracts, as well as adding to fuel costs. The Regional District of North Okanagan opposes the ministry concept and has come up with a viable alternative, a one-way bridge across the highway that would allow traffic on Birnie Road to re-enter the highway and head north. It’s practical and the best part is RDNO is willing to be a financial partner through tipping fees. RDNO is demanding a meeting with the ministry, and let’s hope those representatives come with an open mind. If not, the government’s plans for Birnie Road will do nothing to improve safety on Highway 97.

Society needs permanent home
I
feel proud and blessed to be part of such a wonderful organization, one that I believe is a leading child care provider in our province. The North Okanagan Child Care Society is such a wonderful place to come into each day. Children are happy and engaged in various activities and projects, families smile, laugh and joke as they connect with each other and the staff in the halls. All 50-plus staff members walk through the doors each day with smiles on their faces ready to provide the children and families with a safe, comforting and engaging environment. NOCCS is under the executive director of Hollie Henderson, a passionate and compelling educator with a true understanding of quality service, education and care. NOCCS is unique as it offers a wide variety of leading edge early learning philosophies for families to choose from. Families can enrol their children in everything from Montessori to High Scope to Reggio styles of programming as they see fit for their child. Many NOCCS programs follow an emergent curriculum model, a lead-
ing edge model that tailors the environment as well as the activities to the individual needs of the children. This allows children to take control over their own learning and build their skills at their own pace. As they master one stage, the next stage is ready for them to conquer. This ensures a lifelong love of learning and future success. The common theme in all NOCCS programs is that children are strong, competent and capable of constructing their own knowledge and learning journey. The educators at NOCCS are trained professionals who are dedicated and passionate people working
solar energy I am writing in response to the letter titled “Solar not a Solution for Everyone.” I agree. Solar is not a silver bullet that will solve everything for everyone with one shot. But it is however part of the solution for a clean energy supply. Photovoltaic electricity is an existing technology that has been around for about 50 years. Whether it is 12-15% efficient (eg it converts 12-15% of visible light directly to electricity) or 1% efficient, such as our internal combustion engine that we all love, if it is useful it should be considered for use. PV modules are composed of aluminum frames, silicon crystals, tempered glass plating, and copper wiring. At their end of useful life (25-50 yrs) they are easily recyclable. Many manufacturing plants now produce modules using electricity from solar. A higher global adoption of the use of PV and intense competition for global market share has driven up the efficiencies of production, greatly reducing the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. In his letter, Mr. Royko fails to mention the immense amount of fossil fuel required to construct a hydro dam while stating that the manufacturing

to ensure that children are recognizing their own potential and working towards developing themselves each day. NOCCS also works closely with NONA Child Development Centre to ensure the needs of every child are being met as best as possible. NOCCS is a community hub that welcomes and encourages community involvement and support. We have connections with various seniors facilities, the arts community, local sports teams, local high school students and many community members who volunteer their time with us regularly. NOCCS is currently in need of a permanent home. We are hoping
of pv modules requires huge amounts of fossil fuels. If a comparison is to be made then include all the facts. Furthermore, as someone who has recently moved back to the Okanagan, I have become painfully aware of the “Sunshine Tax." To compare this area with all of Canada is not very accurate when talking about our solar resource. Yes, we are further north than Mexico or Texas and yes, we have generally cloudy winters, however, in the summer when we all crank up the air conditioning on “pleasant summer days” it makes sense to generate our electricity locally and take the peak load off the hydro grid. Our entire country was wired for telephone service using government subsidies. Hydro dams and the electricity grid, cell networks, wireless internet, transportation, and most heavily of all the pipeline and fossil fuel industry are all government subsidized. Eight cents per kwh on your electricity bill does not reflect the true cost of what we pay. Hydro is renewable and constant as long as there is water in the dam and it is clean, once the dam is built and I’m sure that BC Hydro or Fortis BC
that our West Vernon location will be that home as we serve the needs in our community through this great location. West Vernon currently serves more than 200 children from birth to age 12 and their families each day through 10 programs and has more than 150 children and their families on our wait list to join and participate in our facility. A permanent home for NOCCS would mean that we would have the ability to expand and accommodate families on our wait lists, create much needed quality employment for early childhood educators in our community and provide the children with a true home away from home each day in a building that would be tailored to their needs. The West Vernon building was built for much older children and is in need of renovations and updating to truly make it applicable to the children who attend each day. If West Vernon does become our home, the staff and families are excited to work towards this goal. Katrina Hobart noCCs program co-ordinator
would love for us to depend solely on their networks. Hydro and solar are both very good sources of electricity. Personally, I prefer to be as independent and secure as possible. Solar is as predictable and reliable as the sun rising each day and even if it’s not for Mr. Royko, it is for me. I encourage the young lady that made the presentation to council to continue to be passionate about the environment and the world she will grow up in and I encourage not only Vernon, but the rest of Canada to catch up with the rest of the world. We are so far behind that some people think we are in front.

While the Liberals pulled off a stunning come-from-behind victory to hold on to power in the B.C. election Tuesday night, what came as far less of a surprise was the seemingly easy re-election of the Central Okanagan’s three incumbent Liberal MLAs Steve Thomson, Norm Letnick and Ben Stewart. The trio, first elected four years ago and who dubbed themselves Team Okanagan during their first term in the legislature because of their close working relationship and their team approach to lobbying for provincial funding for local projects, easily held on to their seats.

equally thrilled that their party defied what all public opinion polls were predicting and will now return to the legislature with a majority government. Heading into the campaign, the Liberals trailed the NDP in public opinion polls by a whopping 20 points, a seemingly insurmountable lead. By election eve, the gap had narrowed to six points, said pollsters but many still expected an NDP win. Voters, however, proved them wrong. And for the local Liberal trio and the hundreds of supporters who showed up to celebrate with them at the Capri Hotel in Kelowna Tuesday night, they could not have been happier. “Some people will sleep tonight with tears and others with smiles,” said Letnick as he addressed the crowd.

For Letnick, that means improving his own performance as an MLA after hearing some criticism during the campaign. “I’m a perfectionist and I always want to do better,” said the man Clark tabbed as her agriculture minister two years ago.

Conservation officers were recently out on the waters reminding boaters to practise safe boating.
Safe Boating Week sets sail roger knox Morning Star Staff
It doesn’t officially begin until Saturday, but North Okanagan conservation officers got a head start alerting area boaters to National Safe Boating Week. Out doing patrols last weekend, officers noticed a great deal of boaters weren’t prepared after bringing their vessels out of winter storage. “Some flashlights weren’t working, some life jackets were in poor repair or had been eaten by mice, and some boats didn’t have licences,” said Sgt. Josh Lockwood, NCO conservation operations supervisor for North Okanagan. “Some of the boats purchased over the winter weren’t registered, or boats purchased from other people weren’t reregistered in their name. Those things have been in place for a long time now, and the RCMP, conservation services and DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) are going to start to take a dim view of people who don’t have their licence.” The licence is the number that goes on the boat. Any boater caught not having the number on the vessel faces a $288 fine. Lockwood said boaters should treat their vessels like a motor vehicle. If you’re driving a boat, you need a licence, or, as it’s properly termed, a competency operators certificate. You need said certificate to drive a boat. “Even if you’re only in possession of the steering mechanism, you need a certificate,” said Lockwood. Another part of the focus of Safe Boating Week is ensuring infants and youth are wearing life jackets in a boat. “So many times last year we’d see adults or parents holding small children that was very apparent to us that they were not able to swim – I’m talking age two and under – not wearing any type of life preserver at all,” said Lockwood. Officers on patrol will be carrying small life jackets for youth that have been purchased through public donations, and will be handing them out to people who need them as long as they meet qualifying criteria. Lockwood said officers will be patrolling small and large lakes in the North Okanagan during Safe Boating Week. BOATsmart!, Canada’s leader in boating safety and the country’s largest Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) provider, offers five simple tips for safe boating this summer: 1. Get your BOATsmart! Operator Card. All
operators of motorized vessels require a Pleasure Craft Operator Card. Test your knowledge, learn boating safety skills and take the official Transport Canada Accredited exam at www.BoatSmartExam. com. 2. Wear a life-jacket. It’s simple. Wearing a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD) greatly reduces your risk of drowning. Having them on board is not enough. Life-jackets don’t work unless you wear them. So be sure that everyone on board is wearing an approved PFD before heading out on the water. 3. Don’t drink and boat. The effects of alcohol are up to four times greater on the water due of the motion of your craft, the wind, waves and hot summer sun. Keep hydrated by drinking water, and keep the alcohol on shore. 4. Be prepared. Make sure your boat, safety equipment and passengers are prepared for a safe day on the water. Check your local weather before heading out and leave extra gas in the tank for a safe trip home. 5. Refresh your knowledge. Both novice and experienced boaters can benefit from taking a BOATsmart! course. From emergency preparedness to right-of-way rules, you’ll learn everything you need to boat with confidence.

Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “Most of our bars are closed (early) and don’t have a big flush of people going on.” It will cost $55,000 a year for maintenance of the facility from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Had the facility been open until 3 a.m. from Thursday to Saturday for bar patrons, it would have been an additional $15,000 a year. “The maintenance costs are horrendous,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. The washroom building, which can be relocated, should be available on the former medical clinic site by the beginning of June. Coun. Juliette Cunningham believes the facility is necessary because some businesses will not allow residents to use their washrooms. “It’s tough for the public to find facilities,” she said, adding that it will be located next to the transit terminal. The cost for the washroom building is $54,000.

District buys into valley farm map Jennifer Smith
Morning Star Staff
Local farmers are being put on the map. An Okanagan Farm and Food Map (called Buy Local! Buy Fresh!) is currently in creation to highlight local food and where to find it. “It’s especially attractive to smaller, independent businesses,” said Shane Wright, co-ordinator of the Buy Local BC initiative. The map links consumers with local food by making food producers from Armstrong to Oliver more visible in the region. “There’s been significant interest in

Farm listings and ad space are available for purchase, but registration closes Monday. Wright says that deadline could be pushed slightly (considering it is a stat holiday).

Pool discount offered in village richard rolke Morning Star Staff
It’s hoped slashed fees will make a splash with Lumby residents. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee is reducing discounted early bird passes for the outdoor pool by 50 per cent. “Existing rates are somewhat excessive and we want to increase usage,” said Rick Fairbairn, chairperson. Currently, an early bird season pass for a family is $270 and it’s $135 for an individual. Last year, only three family passes were sold. Director Randal Ostafichuk believes there is a need to encourage more people to use the
pool, and decreasing fees by 50 per cent doesn’t impact expenses. “The cost to operate is the same whether there are three people or 100 people in the pool. You still need lifeguards and the pumps have to run,” he said. In related news, it’s anticipated that the new children’s spray park could open next week in Oval Park. At the latest, it will be ready by Lumby Days June 7. “We are getting a tremendous amount of feedback from residents about this,” said Fairbairn, adding that the facility will enhance the pool’s offerings. “Parents can take their toddlers into the spray park and the older kids can go into the pool.”
Spallumcheen trail seeks needed repairs be left with little option other than to permanently close the trail. Coun. Sully O’Sullivan motioned for the city to pay 50 per cent of the $3,000 bill, which was supported unanimously.

Tigers torch Kamloops defence Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers put on a clinic in precision shooting as they picked apart the Kamloops Venom 20-3 Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. The Cats seemingly scored at will as they raced out to an 8-1 first-period lead en route to their third straight Thompson Okanagan Lacrosse League win. “It exemplified the execution of a true transitional lacrosse system,” said Vernon head coach Myles Brumpton. “At this point in the season it’s a great sign.” Ryan Sarazin led the 4-1 Vernon offence with four goals and three assists, while Liam Drabiuk netted 3+4 and Sean Connors turned a hat trick. Jordan Orr delivered the goal of the night as part of his 2+4 performance, going top shelf with a behind-the-back beauty during a second-period powerplay. Craig Bigsby (2+2), Quinton Harrish, Daryl Landels, Colton Harrish and Nolan Frame (1+3) completed the offence in support of Joel Fruncillo (14 saves). Aaron Jensen came on in relief at the halfway point, finishing with 18 saves and two assists. “We had output from 85 per cent of our players; 17 of 20 players produced points,” said Brumpton, who was equally pleased with the Tigers’ 14 penalty minutes. “That’s just good lacrosse.” The last-place Venom (1-6) scored once in each period, with Rob Peterson, Blaine Boomer and Riley Poacik supplying the offence. Netminder Dalan Etter was pulled after getting shelled in the first period. Cody Mior didn’t fare much better in relief. They combined for 31 saves. “They’re still a good team, but they’re young,” said Brumpton. “They have some skilled guys who can play.” The Tigers resume TOJLL action next Saturday when they visit the Venom at Memorial Arena. The Armstrong Shamrocks (1-4-1) host the South Okanagan Flames (2-2) next Friday night (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

NET took to the pitch with 11 beaten and bruised players and no subs. A slight drizzle made for wet and sloppy conditions, and NET took advantage of few Monashee miscues to go up 2-0 early. After that, the game tightened up with many hard tackles and fouls by both sides. Monashee came out with some energy in the second half, but can’t seem to connect their passes. Some hard challenges by NET kept them pinned in their half. Riot FC spread out the scoring as they deflated Peters Tirecraft 5-0 on Marshall #4.

The winless visitors hit the post twice (once on a penalty shot), and had a few other close chances to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. After re-arranging their formation, the Camels took control in the second half with four more tallies, while limiting Salmon Arm’s chances. Other goals came from Mo Singogo, Keenan Jespersen

Lakers bow to Mustangs in Valley final Morning Star Staff
The Kalamalka Lakers will go to the B.C. Senior AA Girls Soccer Championships in Courtenay feeling pretty good about themselves. The Lakers, who won the North Zone title over Fulton Maroons, lost 3-2 to the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton in the Okanagan Valley final Wednesday at Marshall Field #3. Laker coach Derek Parmalee praised his entire 21-player roster for a stellar 3-1 tournament. “It was a good game,” said Parmalee, of the final which was tied 2-2 at the half. “All the girls played really well. We got everybody in and we rested a few of our key girls.” Teigan Moore connected in the 12th minute off a free kick set play with the Mustangs equalizing 10 minutes later on a nice through ball. The teams traded goals in the final 18 minutes of the opening half with Moore going low with a penalty kick. Princess Margaret won it on a sweet cross in the late stages. Both teams advance to provincials, May 30-June 1, in Courtenay. The Mustangs won preliminary games over the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops, Fulton and Seaton Sonics. Kal opened the eight-team playdowns Tuesday morning by grounding the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 3-1. The Vikes scored first on a nifty volley over keeper Julia Kemper, while Kal levelled things two mintues later when Moore went bottom-left corner after a gorgeous feed by Emily Thorlakson. Just 10
minutes later, Moore buried the winner with Alana Fox drawing the assist. Megan Squair, from Paige Ralston, added a late snipe. Kemper was outstanding in net as the Lakers shut down the VSS Panthers 3-0 Tuesday afternoon. Emma Tassie converted bottom-left corner after a pass from Kaelyn Parmalee, at 15 minutes. Moore then made it 2-0 Kal before the break and Kaely Johnson added insurance on a scramble seven minutes into the final half. The Lakers brushed back the George Elliot Coyotes of Winfield 3-1 to finish preliminary action Wednesday morning. The Coyotes grabbed a 1-0 lead at the break, but the Lakers responded after Parmalee asked for a better effort during the rest period. Squair equalized 20 minutes into the half and five minutes later, on a corner set play, Squair finished after a short pass by Thorlakson and then Squair completed her hat trick. Meanwhile, the Salmon Arm Jewels jolted Kal 5-0 in Wednesday’s North Zone junior girls final. Both teams will play in the Valley playdowns, May 24-25, in Salmon Arm. Seaton defeated Fulton 4-1 in the consolation final with Cayleigh Graham scoring for Fulton. The Sonics grabbed the third Valley berth. Earlier, Kal defeated Fulton 4-3 in a doubleovertime thriller. The lead changed hands several times before the Maroons tied the game late in the second half. Graham (2) and Andie Kaneda scored for the Maroons. No goal scorers were reported for Kal, who netted the winner on a scramble.

Thomas Mackiewich opened the scoring for the Legends, who trailed 2-1 at the break. North Okanagan took a 4-3 lead into the second intermission on a pair by Riley Swiscoski and one from Tanner FranjeGilbert. In a frantic third period, the Legends popped four goals – two by Shelby Connors, one from Brett Williams and Swiscoski completing the hat trick. The Legends fell short of a comeback Sunday, bowing 7-5 to the Nicola Valley Thunder at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Thunder jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Tyler Riva got the Legends on the board. Nicola Valley scored a buzzer-beater to end the period. The visitors showed good defence in keeping North Okanagan off the board in the second period, and added a single to extend the lead. A pair of quick goals by Connors got the Legends back in the game, and with the Thunder leading 6-3, Chase Bronson and Williams each netted singles to close the gap to one. Nicola Valley sealed the win with an empty-netter. The Cenovus Legends gave up a goal with 15 seconds left in regulation to fall 4-3 to Merritt in Saturday Midget play.

Team Red raids Goldfish Diamondbacks start strong Morning Star Staff
Team Red shaded the Goldfish 2-1 in Subway youth soccer U14/15 girls action Saturday at Marshall Field. The Reds grabbed an early 2-0 lead but the Goldfish countered with a penalty-shot goal from Maddie Powls. The Goldfish got solid defence from Melia Correale, Lexee Kerry, Larissa Deins and Sara Wiebe. The midfield of Taiya Duke, Holly Clancy, Cailee Bauml, Maddie Powls, Brooklyn Harrison and Elissa Bunn also worked hard, jumpstarting plays with slick passes. Ava Haldane, Bryn Doering, Chelsea Landry and Jamie Kerry created some great shooting opportunities. The goalkeeping was shared by Powls and Doering. In U18 girls play, the Nixon Wenger Navy Seals and H&L Glass battled to a 2-2 draw. H&L Glass controlled much of the early going, but the Navy Seals got some great goalkeeping from Nikki Watson, including a diving save on a hard shot from close range. H&L Glass finally struck late in the half to take a 1-0 lead into the break. The Seals came out hard in the second and equalized on a great solo effort from Kaely Johnson, who took the ball from the corner flag to the front of the net before finishing. The Seals took the lead when Melanie Wakutz took a sweet through ball from Karley Geefs to go in alone and unleased a corker that left the H&L keeper no chance. Despite more great goalkeeping for the Seals in the second half, this time from Kate Curtis, H&L Glass levelled the score on a great shot from inside the box. The Subway Whale Sharks remained unbeaten in the U18 division with a 4-1 victory over Caufields Engraving. Subway jumped out to an early 4-0 lead with goals by Kim Wilson, Doortje Geelkerken, Isabelle Weber-Concannon and Ciana Fitzpatrick. The Caufield crew perked up and played the Subway girls extremely hard the rest of the way, scoring once. Keeper Megan Johnston was magic in the second half for the Sharks, while dynamic defence came from Laura Hulstein, Jennifer Proce, Chantal Gilliespie and Megan Reeves. First-half keeper Natalie Johnston was also strong in the midfield in the second half. The Subway girls have now used eight different goalies in four games. The White Panthers used an amazing

The Pandas’ Tyler Jackson rocketed the ball above the outstretched Red keeper to
open the scoring. Gavin Huggins connected with a longrange shot for the second goal. Ben Poulin made a great run and then slid the ball inside the corner for the third snipe. Keeper Brendan Yakura had a shutout going until Red chipped a ball nicely over his head in the last few minutes. Callum Takasaka played a strong game moving the ball up and down the wings for the Pandas, while Mason Secretan was aggressive and Tate Priebe created many opportunities. Baron Insurance split a pair of U18 boys games, losing 7-6 to Nixon Wenger Saturday but bouncing back with a 5-2 victory over Kidston & Co. Wednesday night at Marshall.

Rosters returns to Masters win column Morning Star Staff
Rosters snapped a three-game losing skid by shutting down Goplen Drillers 2-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #3. Becky McLennan supplied the winner early in the half. Despite lots of opportunities, Rosters couldn’t capitalize on more chances until the dying minutes when Tina Pelleboer netted her first of the season. Hockey calendar girl Karen Benn earned the shutout, making some sensational stops in the second half. Michelle Mulholland was solid on defence and Marissa Weibe was picture perfect shutting down some of the Drillers’ speedy forwards.
Controllers shut down Kaos
The Vernon Controllers clipped the Shuswap Kaos 1-0 in Salmon Arm. Neither team could mount much of an attack in the first half with the best chances going to the Controllers. Scoreless at the half, the visitors cranked it up and dominated in the second half. Ang Durfeld put one off the crossbar and headed the rebound off the post in one sequence. Forward Leslie Epp drilled one off the crossbar and Jenny Currie followed with one off the post. Emma Louie couldn’t convert a far-post cross from Durfeld as the Controllers came in waves. Finally, with 10 minutes to go, Epp’s determination paid off as she got her own rebound in close and put the ball over the line with the Kaos keeper Jan Crerar on the ground. Player of the Match was Crerar, who at times was the only Kaos defender. Mickey Templeton recorded the shutout.

Sarah Kwantes and Shelley Henry failed on two penalty kicks, one going straight at the keeper, and the other going up and over the net. Red Robin Lady of the Match Wendy Stevens created many attacks with her patience and twisty turns for NOU, whose defence stood strong and protected their keeper Dar Weisse. The Chick Kickers ambushed Seasons Sistas 7-0 at Marshall #2. No game details

NET and Tex play to stalemate
were reported.
Blazers ground Glenn Power
An early second-half injury left the Blazers with nine, but Hailey Woon used her speed on the forward line to deke through the defence and register her fifth goal of the season. Jane Sutton earned the assist. After going up by a deuce, Hatten and Woon dropped back and played excellent defensive games as Salmon Arm moved the ball well in an attempt to exploit the weary Blazers. Keeper Katie Hatten was phenomenal, making several dazzling saves to earn her second shutout of the season. She also used her long drop kicks to clear the half and give her defenders a much needed breather. Defenders Sutton, Jeanette Maleska and Amanda Swales were stellar on defence as Glenn Power enjoyed three consecutive corners in the late going. Midfielders Bahmuller, Holly Wylie and Janna Cummings did an exceptional job. Dr. Lee ambushed the first-year Wrap Zone 13-0 in Division 1 play at Marshall #5. Leah Frye and Delinah Erbinich each pulled hat tricks and two assists, while Ally Dodds pocketed 2+3. Singles came from Andi King, Jacquie Hansen, Stephanie Wilson, Kim Teichman and Jennesa Moore. Irene Arrotta had three helpers, while sister Lisa earned the shutout. Brown’s Social House Lady of the Match Lori Shippy controlled the midfield for Dr. Lee.
In Division 1 action, the AF Blazers used a gutsy team performance to shut down Glenn Power Contracting of Salmon Arm 2-0 at Marshall #1. With just 10 players, the Blazers’ Jeruscha Bahmuller converted a brilliant through ball from veteran Jenny Hatten midway through the first half.
NET and Little Tex battled to a scoreless draw at Marshall #4. The Timber started with 10 players and stepped things up until an 11th showed up for the final half. Samantha Adam had a standout game in centre midfield. “With a nagging hamstring injury and no subs, Sam stood alone to outwork every player on the pitch,” said NET coach Graham Ross.
Kokanee eclipse standards Morning Star Staff
The records keep falling at the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club. A pair of swimmers – Zac Benn and Asia Minnes – combined to clock 10 new benchmarks, helping the Kokanee finish second out of 16 teams at the Kamloops Classic Swimming meet last weekend. Competing in the Under 12 Boys division, Benn set six new long-course records – 200-metre freestyle (two minutes, 15.66 seconds), 200 back (2:32.68), 50 butterfly (30.59), 100 fly (1:07.79), 200 fly (2:30.35) and 200 IM (2:34.33). He added to his gold medal haul with first place in the 400 IM (5:36.64). His 200 fly time also earned him a U13 age-group national time standard. Minnes, racing in the U10 Girls class, set new standards in the 100 free (1:12.89), 400 free (5:21.37), 50 breaststroke (42.27) and 200 IM (2:57.40). She added gold in the 100 breast (1:33.74) and silver in the 50 free (34.12). Jacob Phillips recorded a 35.96 in the 50 free to earn his U11 boys B.C. AA standard. He qualified for B.C. AA championships, June 21-23, in Victoria. Other Kokanee turning in podium results include: U12 Girls – Erin Brown took bronze in the 400
free (5:19.80), Sydney Fillion struck bronze in the 200 breast (3:13.15) and Morgan Mardiros had gold in the 50 free (32.95). 13-14 Girls – Jade Freeman secured bronze in the 200 IM (2:44.17); Meredith Levorson took gold in the 200 IM (2:33.68), and silver in the 100 backstroke (1:12.40), 50 breast (39.17), 200 breast (2:57.56), 100 free (1:01.84), 50 back (34.12) and 400 free (4:41.58). 13-14 Boys – Regan Peace grabbed silver in the 200 back (2:27.94), making the U13 Boys national standard. Over 15 Girls – Kiah Lee collected silver in the 200 breast (2:50.57) and bronze in the 100 breast (1:20.86); Kaia Phillips recorded gold in the 400 free (4:52.47), and silver in the 200 butterfly (2:35.47) and 800 free (9:53.78). Over 15 Boys – Joshua Phillips earned silver in the 400 IM (4:59.51) and 400 free (4:34.78); Florian Terpstra won silver in the 200 breast (2:37.80) and 200 back (2:21.23), and bronze in the 100 back (1:05.66) and 50 breast (34.17); Wouter Terpstra placed first in the 200 fly (2:15.60) and 400 IM (4:54.65), and second in the 100 fly (59.33) and 200 IM (2:18.39).

The City of Vernon is advising boaters to watch for, and avoid, a storm outfall pipe in Okanagan Lake below Tavistock near Adventure Bay. The storm outfall pipe has come loose and floated to the surface. The pipe is now marked with buoys, but it is still a hazard that boaters should avoid. “We don’t know how close the rest of the pipe is to the surface at this time,” said Ed Stranks, manager of engineering development for the city. “We are in the process of investigating that.” The city is requesting that boaters exercise caution and stay away from the area until works are complete. Boaters should especially watch out between the shore and where the pipe is floating at the surface and go well around the pipe. Operations and engineering staff are working with the project consultant to reestablish the pipe in the right-of-way in the lake. A diving company has been contacted and will be examining the pipe to determine the works required. Timing for this work has not been determined yet.

Things you can’t say
nother election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict. Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government. Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score? Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms. He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy. West VancouverCapilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area. He noted there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported. The Conservatives kicked their BoundarySimilkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article saying women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers. You can talk about
child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried Tom Fletcher to copy a popular NDP stance instead. She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be. In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem
B.C. Views
of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media
from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. Tom Fletcher is a columnist for Black Press tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Erin Foggao has endured her fair share of scrapes, bruises and injury in roller derby, but the pain she has felt is nothing compared to what her sister is going through. Foggoa’s sister Charlene Leslie is battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – all while trying to care for her son who is severely autistic. “Her life was pretty full as it was before cancer popped into the picture,” said Foggoa,
known on the track as Lucy Dynamite of the Candy Strykers. To help her sister with some of the treatment and travel costs, a roller derby charity scrimmage and auction is taking place Saturday at Hassen Arena. The event, called Hurt to Heal, is only $5 to attend and will include an auction, raffle and 50/50. “There are great prizes being tossed out to the crowd at random as well,” said Foggoa.
Doors open to the action at 5:30 p.m. with the whistle being blown at 6. There will be a beverage garden for the adults and bouncy castle for the kids. “The game is going to be a mix of B.C. women, and will be quite different from our usual games,” said Foggoa. “The rules are a little less lenient, and we are playing for charity so it is going to be a really fun night.” The event is through the Okanagan Shuswap Roller Derby Association, which is
rallying around the event in Leslie’s honour. “What do you do when you are a derby girl and your sister gets cancer? You hit people,” laughs Foggoa. “She is trying a few different avenues to cure her cancer, even alternative clinical trials in Vancouver, but the costs are adding up quickly with care for Liam and hotel stays and such.” Tickets are available at the door or online at http://www. brownpapertickets.com/ event/370713

A trippy ode to one amazing Dreamcoat Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Since he appeared in the Book of Genesis, chapters 25 to 50, that colourful dreamer Joseph has been no flash in the pan. The story of the favoured son of Jacob, sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, may be a Biblical one, but it’s in the musical created by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice that has brought Joseph and his coat of many colours to life in all its Technicolor glory. Staged in London’s West End and on Broadway, including a stint in Toronto starring none other than ‘70s singing sibling Donny Osmond, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is about to come back to life — with a twist. Taking the stage at 27th Street Theatre at W.L. Seaton Secondary School, this Joseph has an Afro and wears a carpetbag-like coat over skin-tight spandex pants. And then there’s the decidedly rockedout and funkified tunes. “We are still doing the Biblical story and the text is the same, but we wanted to do it in a way that would be interesting to the students,” said Seaton drama teacher and Joseph director Lana O’Brien. The idea for this interpretation actually came from a coat. “We found this ‘70s fabric coat and it set the theme for the ‘70s glam rock era... The whole show is about the coat, but you only see it for two minutes at the beginning and then for two minutes at the end,” said O’Brien. In this incarnation of the musical operetta — heavy on score, with no spoken words — Joseph’s 11 brothers and “sisters” are in a rock band called Jacob and Sons and sing and play their instruments in the same vein as Parliament Funkadelic, with slapping bass and wah-wah guitar. “The show is still about the brothers who are misdirected because daddy doesn’t give them enough attention. We didn’t change the language, but in this case we have three girls playing brothers,” said O’Brien. And there are quite a few other twists. When the brothers decide to get rid of

W.L. Seaton Secondary student Sheldon Graham (centre) as Joseph shows off his coat of many colours along with the cast of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Joseph, they don’t sell him to the Ishmaelites, they sell him to the Kiltish Types, said O’Brien, adding students had to audition to be part of the class putting on Joseph. “This came after we auditioned kids for their talents and we found we had two bag-
pipers and a top Irish dancer. We wanted to incorporate the many talents the kids have and tell the story a different way.” Then there’s Potiphar, the captain of the palace guard who buys Joseph and decides to invest in another band called The Pyramids.
Joseph’s “dream” sequences with the Pharaoh are just as trippy and then there is the attention to certain props to have them mesh with the times. “It’s still set in Egypt, but this is the ‘70s, so the precious golden cup is plastic,” laughed O’Brien, referring to the song Who’s the Thief. Cast as Joseph is Grade 11 Seaton student Sheldon Graham, who has never acted in a musical theatre production before. “I’m not part of the (drama) class, but I am a band kid,” said Graham, adding he has been singing and playing guitar in the band Siesta Motel, who recently came in the top 10 in the Our Kids Have Talent competition and has a few gigs coming up after Joseph. Graham also played Beatles songs as one of the band members in Seaton’s 2011 musical production, In My Life, and is also doing double duty as music coordinator for Joseph. “Because we are not using a live orchestra, me and some of my buddies pre-recorded some of the music to give it that ‘70s feel. We use a wah-wah pedal a lot,” he said. “I am a big ‘70s fan. I love bands like the Jackson Five.” Speaking of Michael and his brothers, the setting for Joseph will be similar to that of the Jacksons’ former variety TV show. “We want the show to stand on its own. It’s an ensemble piece with a ridiculous amount of light and energy. The set has this industrial rock band feel and is moveable,” said O’Brien. “We are very reliant on lighting and have 12-foot panels with classic ‘70s colours.” And unlike a typical high school production, this one has been costly, ramping up a whopping $11,000, which has not come from the school district, said O’Brien. “All the fundraising is from ticket sales, which feeds the program. We have also had some wonderful sponsorship and donations.” Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat takes the stage at 27th Street Theatre, located at W.L. Seaton Secondary School, Wednesday, May 22 to Saturday, June 1 at 7 p.m. (no shows Sunday and Monday) and May 25 and June 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors/students at the school office.

Hillbilly crooner Petunia tip toes through Vernon on successful journey Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A few years can make a huge difference in a musician’s life. Take the experiences of the alt. country, guitar-wielding, yodelling crooner who calls himself Petunia.
It wasn’t that long ago that he was a transient busker, wandering the highways of this great country and points beyond with his guitar in one hand and his thumb stuck out on the other. Petunia has literally been every-
where, and has the stories to prove it — from thumbing his way along the Trans Canadia (as he puts it) to playing for crowds in the New York subway station to the cobbled streets of Paris. And his troubadour, hillbilly
musical style hasn’t waned even though he now has the luxury of a set touring schedule and prebooked venues. It’s garnering him even more attention. About to tour through B.C. and
Alberta, Petunia is stopping through Vernon, where he has found himself a few times on his excursions through the country. He returns to play Gallery Vertigo Saturday after a successful show there last year.

There’s a lot more to that yodel Continued from B1
ered by the likes of Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster.) The tour across the Atlantic came on the heels of Petunia and the Vipers’ live recording in a bar in Phillipsville, Calif., which is coincidently located in the Emerald triangle, just north of Redwood National State Park. Petunia often ventures to the Golden State, and in particular L.A., where he and the Vipers have quite a following. It was there two years ago that he made a connection with two legends of L.A.’s punk/roots-rock scene: Phil Alvin of The Blasters, who has recorded with the likes of Sun Ra and Big Joe Turner, and Exene Cervenka of seminal art-house/punk band X and rockabilly, country-folk band The Knitters, and he continues to perform with them. “We back them up with whatever they want to play and then we get up and perform. It’s great because they have thousands of fans, and so it brings packed houses to see us,” said Petunia, adding he and Alvin often do yodel“Jazz melodies & ling duets, which may lead to syncopated rythyms” a recording. Besides their countrified ode to the old west, Petunia th Saturday, May 18 at 8 pm and the Vipers interpretation of old-time jump, swing and TICKETS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT ragtime tunes, with songs such as Irving Berlin’s Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee, OR BEAN SCENE & BEAN TO CUP have proven popular. “You see this resurgence st 3000 - 31 St., Vernon • Tickets: $20 (Member rebate at door) of that music in the movies,” he said. “There’s a huge scene for this kind of music down there.” Now back in Vancouver, Petunia is about to embark on his next project, and it involves a bit of jumping and swinging as well. It’s a dance project with the Machine
“Things have been going well,” said Petunia, calling from his home in Vancouver, which he shares with his wife and musically-inclined four-year-old daughter. “It’s been a slow process. It didn’t happen all at once, but I’ve had five-to-six years of doing both (booked shows and busking).” Since the release of his 2012 album, Petunia and the Vipers, The Laval, Que.-born artist has played some major festivals. He and the Vipers just came home from touring England, Ireland and Scotland, where they performed at Glasgow’s famed Celtic Connections festival. “We were headlining on the Old Fruit Market stage and blew their socks off. We received wonderful reviews from the show, and (radio host) Bob Harris with the BBC
really liked us and wants to bring us on his show,” said Petunia. Although Petunia has played the U.K. before, this was his first actual tour there, and he says it was a different experience. “You hear stories of being in England and then coming to America and becoming famous. This time I think it was the other way around,” he laughed. “They dug it, but they literally don’t dance. They just stand there and watch the show. They intently listen. I think it’s part of their culture. This was more in England than in Scotland and Ireland.” Petunia, however, did strike up a few dancers when he had the opportunity to play with famed Irish fiddler Maurice Lennon in some pubs around the Emerald Isle.

Petunia plays his old-time music, with a yodel and a smile, in an intimate show at Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo Saturday. Noisy Dance Society called Bamboozled. Petunia, whose wife is a dancer, is not only writing the music for the show, he will be shuffling his feet as well. “I don’t dance,” he laughed, adding he met the company’s artistic director through his work with Caravan Farm Theatre when he wrote the music for the 2008 winter sleigh ride production, The Secret Sorrow of Hatchet Jack McPhee. “The show is about the commodi-
fication of celebrity personalities, but is going to be like a wild west show; think Buffalo Bill Cody... They are approaching it with a vaudeville angle. I am looking very forward to that.” Petunia takes the stage at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001-31st St., Saturday at 8 p.m. Opening for him will be Vernon’s very own musical chameleon, guitar master Les Copeland. Tickets are $10 each, available at the Bean Scene. For more info., visit www.petuniamusic.com.
To all the songs he’s loved before Willie nelson and Family: Let’s

Face the Music and Dance
et the lights down low. Willie Nelson’s 80th birthday present to himself is an album of lovely old pop, jazz and country standards done with his band, Family. Nelson’s selection of songs reveals the wide stretch of his tastes and influences, reaching back 60 years. Also revealed is the well-oiled performance of Family (including sister Bobbie on piano and son Micah on percussion). They give moody readDean Gordon-Smith ings of Irving Berlin’s title track and a soft rockabilly kick on Carl Perkins’ Matchbox. The highlights of Nelson’s 61st studio album are his dignified voice and rickety, stately guitar picking. It’s as if, in doing an album of such forgotten classics, Nelson has opened a channel into another expressive side of his delivery that isn’t acknowledged. Age hasn’t slowed him down and his obvious
Street SoundS
passion for music making is on display throughout. His take on Twilight Time is an easy metaphor for Nelson’s direction here: it’s played like a swooning celebration of the oncoming evening. Nelson’s band carries him and Trigger (his battered 1969 Martin gut-string guitar) brings along the low-volume taste. Because this is a quiet recording, riding the volume control brings the music alive. It also opens the space up and shows what a smart, well modulated set of songs this is and how thoughtfully the band treats them. The pacing is super smooth, and the ambiance keeps the embers glowing. By the time the swing ballad, I Wish I Didn’t Love You, appears, you’re 10 tracks in. The mood is mellow; the sound is sweet and Nelson sounds like an old friend playing great songs that he’s plucked out of the ether. The music is relaxed and familiar but never dull or complacent: there’s joy in the playing. Then Nelson and Family give Nuages (written by Django Rheinhardt) a smoky Western treatment that’s a laid-back stunner before ending on the ambiguous Spade Cooley song Shame on You. The album is another definition of cool and Nelson demonstrates why it’s good to keep it real.

Film goes beyond saving whales Revolution
ob Stewart is a Canadian filmmaker with a passion for open
water. His first film, Sharkwater, is an award winning documentary about how shark fin soup is depleting the oceans of one of the Earth’s oldest living creatures. While on tour supporting Sharkwater in China, Stewart was asked a question that led to his latest film Taylor & Howe Revolution: “Why are you so concerned about sharks when the oceans are going to be out of fish by 2048?” The question stumped Stewart. Not because he had just wasted six years of his life, making and promoting Sharkwater, but because the imminent death of the planet’s oceans, by way of over-fishing and polluting, has been accepted as a given. It’s just a question of time. Revolution points out the ecologically disruptive actions that have led to our current problems. A lack of foresight or understanding can take some of the blame, but when the scientists concur that doom is assured, yet the practices providing that assurance continue unabated, it becomes personally insulting.

The Alberta tar sands come under fire in Rob Stewart’s Revolution. Thus Revolution is a film that doesn’t just make people angry, it specifically reveals how Canadians should be ashamed of themselves and dares us to do something about it. The film suggests that reason and fairness don’t seem to be working. The changes that are required must be forced and we in the western world must do the bulk of the work. The film requests nothing short of a revolution against the governments and corporations that are destroying the planet. Our only other option is to evolve into something that can survive in a very different world. We say, “We’re all going to die because we’re forcing the planet to kill us.”
TAYLOR: I’m unable to separate the content of this film from its execution to any meaningful degree. It is technically fine, has moments of beauty and emotion, but is blunt and a bit scattered due to it attempting to squish a complicated matter into 90 minutes. Such is it that Revolution exploits a current discourse in our society, scientific prudence versus commercial politics. The only real question is, what are we, the people who are paying attention, going to do about it? HOWE: I agree. I know the many topics he covered are intertwined, but he does jump all over the place. I wish Stewart would have made six separate hour-long episodes
on each subject and shown them on TV. Perhaps that way more people would watch and take note. He also talks about how it is the youth of today making the change. If that is so he should be giving copies of Revolution to all schools, colleges and universities. But I think everyone should watch this, if only to see what we are destroying. What we are doing to the Alberta landscape is disgraceful. The reason we do it is worse. — Taylor gives Revolution 3.5 decades out of 5. — Howe gives it 4 less species out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Vernon Towne Cinema.

from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. “This year the market will be right in the centre of the action on Cliff Avenue and Belvedere Street as it has outgrown the Maud Street parking lot,” said Neil Fidler, chairperson of the Enderby Arts Festival committee. A free family friendly
event, the festival has been increasing in attendance every year. “Last year’s market was oversubscribed and vendors were turned away,” said Fidler. In addition to the market, this year’s festival includes performances by Shakewood Annie, Transplant, street enter-
tainment with clowns, buskers, face painting, and much more. “We are very excited to be having a partnership with Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn (Splatsin Teaching Centre) who will be presenting A Taste of Culture in Belvidere Park,” said Fidler. Those with hand-
crafted items for sale who wish to participate in the market can contact Maureen Robertson at 250-838-7816 or email enderbyartsfestival@ shaw.ca. A $15 registration fee will be collected on the day of the market.

Celebrating 80 years of farming Morning Star Staff
The Davison family is celebrating their 80th anniversary of farming in Vernon. They have been looking back over the years and the many changes to Vernon and their farm since 1933. Then: milk was 42 cents a gallon, now it is $4.56 Then: the average house price was $5,759, now it is $353,000 Then: the most popular apple variety was Macintosh, now it is Honeycrisp Then: the population of Greater Vernon was 3,937 (1934), now it is more than 58,500 Then: the Davison family farmed 34 acres, now they farm 120 acres Then: they sold their apples to the packing house, now they sell directly to their customers. Then: Tom and May Davison farmed alone and were new immigrants to Canada, now there are three generations working and farming together including grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and grandkids. On Saturday, the Davison family is hosting an anniversary celebration at their farm. They will be sharing lots of photos
and stories from the past to the present, as well as giving away a family season’s pass to one lucky family. Anyone 80 years or older will be honoured with free ice cream and a free Johnny Popper ride on Saturday.
“We have decided to serve it up in style and are baking one massive apple pie...” — Laura Shaw “We asked our customers on Facebook for some ideas on how we should celebrate our anniversary. They said, ‘free apple pie,’ so that is what we are going to do,” said Laura Shaw, head baker and fourth generation Davison. “We have decided to serve it up in style and are baking one massive apple pie, big enough to serve a crowd!” The pie is 80 inches around and Laura is confident that this one pie will feed 80 people. “It’s our version of an anniversary
cake,” Laura says, “but we figured go big or go home!” The pie will be cut at 2 p.m. and will be first come, first served. Saturday also marks the first day of the “Great Pie Giveaway,” where the Davisons have decided to keep up the free pie theme and will be giving away one free (regular sized) Deep Dish Apple pie each and every day for 80 days until Aug. 4. There will be a different way to win each day so watch the Davison Orchards Facebook and Twitter for daily updates. “We want to thank Vernon for helping us keep farming through all the changes that have happened over the last 80 years, we couldn’t do it without our customers” says Tamra Davison, marketing director. “We are looking forward to eating pie and celebrating together!” The pie cutting as well as the season’s pass giveaway will begin at 2 p.m. in front of the country market at Davison Orchards on Saturday.

Ex-girlfriend is abusive
ear Annie: I am finally divorced. My ex and I have a minor child together. He has met my new partner, and they get along great while at our son’s sporting events. I thought it would be healthy for our son to see us as friends. I also thought it would be nice to meet my ex’s new girlfriend since they’ve been a couple as long as I’ve Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar been with my guy. I made several requests to introduce myself, but she refuses to meet me. I find this odd, because she helps take care of my son when he’s in my ex’s home. It seems to be a control tactic on her part. My ex never stands up to this woman about her treatment of me, and although I’ve never said a nasty word to her, she sends me ranting e-mails regularly. She once mailed a four-page hate letter about my parenting skills. I feel bullied. For the record, my ex is kind to me when she is not around. But when he’s
annie's mailbox
on the phone with me and she’s nearby, he becomes rude and hostile. I’m sure he’s putting on a show for her. I’ve always promoted my child’s father in a positive light, but I am tired of this infantile behavior. It’s exhausting. Requests, questions and messages about school activities often go unanswered, or I get one-word responses from him. Then he accuses me of not keeping him informed. My family has suggested that I stop communicating with him altogether. What do you think? — Texas Dear Texas: If you have an opportunity to talk privately with your ex, calmly explain that it is difficult for you to deal with his inappropriate behavior on the phone, and you would appreciate it if he would be civil in your interactions. Otherwise, you will expect him to get his information through the school, and you will instruct the office to include him. His girlfriend seems abusive to you, and it’s a shame your ex doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to her. (She may be abusive to him, as well.) We trust she does not take this out on your child, but please keep an eye on that. Dear Annie: I just left my dermatologist’s office after waiting an hour to see
him, and I’m furious. Don’t doctors realize that their patients’ time is also valuable? Another doctor left me sitting in his office for two hours, and I was the second appointment of the day. When I asked the receptionist why the long wait, she told me the doctor likes to flirt with the nurses at the hospital. This same doctor charged me for a hospital visit after he popped his head into my room to say he was running late and didn’t have time to see me. If doctors know they are likely to run late, why don’t they stretch the time between appointments? I’m sick and tired of physicians expecting their patients to finance their fancy homes and golf memberships while they treat us so poorly. — Fed Up in Louisville Dear Fed Up: Some doctors cannot help running late if they have emergencies. And others are working to schedule less crowded appointments or to phone patients when they are behind. But your most effective policy is to find doctors who are more accommodating to your schedule. If you consistently wait more than an hour for a regular appointment because the doctor is “flirting,” tell the doctor (not the receptionist) that you will be looking for another physician and why.
Questers bring Paul Elder to Vernon for workshop Sherry heyliger
Special to The Morning Star
Ever heard of Remote Viewing or Project Star Gate? Paul Elder hadn’t, at least not until a series of near-death experiences opened a psychic doorway for him, and his life was forever changed. From humble beginnings as a farm boy on the Canadian prairies, Paul has become something of an anomaly. Now he finds himself holding company with the world’s best remote viewers, former Pentagon directors and top secret military intelligence officers. Author of the acclaimed book, Eyes of an Angel, Paul Elder is a former CTV news reporter and mayor of a Saskatchewan city. He is also a survivor of
three near-death experiences — a drowning at the age of 12, a car accident at 17, and a heart attack at the age of 41. Following his neardeath encounters, Elder’s life was further rocked by a series of spontaneous out-of-body experiences, which would lead him to a life of psychic intrigue he could not even have imagined. Due in part to his many extraordinary excursions while participating in consciousness exploration programs at the Monroe Institute in Virginia, Elder was introduced to people involved in paranormal research — some at high levels of security within the U.S. government’s military intelligence “psychic spying program” known as Project Star Gate.
In recognition of his abilities in remote viewing, Elder was recruited a number of years ago as an instructor at the Monroe Institute where he specialized in teaching Remote Viewing classes with former army officer Skip Atwater, now retired.

The Nazarite Vow: Nos. 6:5: “There shall no razor come upon his head.” Long hair was a sign of subjection of the wife to her husband. The Nazarite represented the Jewish nation as the bride of Yahweh. He should lift up his head (the crown of hair) above his body (the lust of the flesh). He should let the locks of his hair grow, exhibiting humility and consecration. His strength was not in his hair but in his vow, of which the hair was but a token of his separation. Rom. 7:18: “in my flesh dwelleth no good thing.”

B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark pulled an upset win Tuesday, defying the polls and

Mary Polak in Langley. Cummins said he will stay on as leader. Clark lost in her own constituency of Vancouver-Point Grey, running against the NDP’s David Eby, who came close to winning in Clark’s by-election two years ago. B.C. Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver made a breakthrough in Oak BayGordon Head, winning the first seat for the Green Party. A high-profile climate scientist, Weaver benefited from the same highly concentrated campaign effort that produced a seat for national Green leader Elizabeth May. Vicki Huntingon won re-election in Delta South, a landmark for an independent to win twice without party affiliation. Independents Bob Simpson in Cariboo North and John van Dongen in Abbotsford South, fell to their B.C. Liberal challengers. “Just like Alberta, the voters got to the ballot box and chickened out,” said one observer on Twitter. The result shocked observers, who had been expecting an NDP majority. “The Liberals came in with a better plan for managing the economy,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. Paralympian Michelle Stilwell retained the B.C. Liberal seat in Parksville-Qualicum, a lonely stronghold on Vancouver Island previously held by Ron Cantelon. In one of the key swings, B.C. Liberal Laurie Throness knocked of NDP incumbent Gwen O’Mahoney, who won a by-election in Chilliwack-Hope last year. Joe Trasolini, the other by-election winner, was also knocked off in Port MoodyCoquitlam. “I feel like we rose from the dead,” said former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan, who won the Vancouver-False Creek constituency for the B.C. Liberals.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder
TOO MANY LOSERS? ELIMINATE ONE LOSER Richard Cobden, a 19thcentury English politician, said, “A newspaper should be the maximum of information and the minimum of comment.” If you get the maximum of information at the bridge table and use it wisely, you will make the minimum of errors. First, though, let’s look at the auction. What should South bid on the second round? He should rebid two hearts, guaranteeing at least a six-card suit and 12-14 points, a minimum opening. With only five hearts, South would show a second suit, bid no-trump, or raise spades (perhaps with only
three). Then North, knowing about an eight-card fit, raises to four hearts. (Note that four spades by North fails if East leads a low diamond and West shifts to the club jack.) After West leads the club jack, what should South do? First, he should count losers by looking at his 13 cards and taking dummy’s winners into account. He has four: one spade, two diamonds and one club. Second, he counts winners. Here, he enjoys 10: two spades, six hearts, one diamond and one club. So, he can get home as long as he does not lose four tricks. To eliminate that spade loser, declarer must establish his diamond winner.
Suppose South tries dummy’s club queen, captures East’s king with his ace, draws trumps, and leads a diamond. The defenders can win, cash a club, and shift to spades, but South wins in his hand and plays another diamond. With the spade ace still in the dummy, he has 10 winners.

October 4, 1972 – May 14, 2013 After successfully beating Breast Cancer in 2011, Lisa was called to the plate, to once again fight the disease - but this time it was a fight she had no chance of winning. Born in Terrace, BC, Lisa was a naturally gifted athlete with a wide circle of friends. From the moment she picked up a ball glove in her late teens, she was destined to be on the field playing on Provincial and National ball teams and frequently acquiring numerous awards and prizes. Her main loves though, were her family; marrying Thomas Payne on July 17, 1993, and with him creating two beautiful children, Kaylie Brooke Payne and Darcie Lee Payne. Lisa and her family moved to Kelowna in 1998 where she quickly joined almost every ball team that was looking for a player...imagine their surprise when they saw her play! Lisa played for teams in Winfield, Vernon and Kelowna and will be missed by all who knew her. Lisa also touched the hearts of all the people she worked with. After getting her LPN in 2007 during the few years that the family lived in Calgary, she then returned to live in Winfield and worked with and for some wonderful people at Noric House in Vernon. Her favorite song sums up her philosophy... Good Life by One Republic “Hopelessly I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss Hopelessly I feel like the window closes oh so quick Hopelessly I’m taking a mental picture of you now’ Cause hopelessly the hope is we have so much to feel good about, Oh, this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life”
Lisa will also be missed by her parents, Jean-Guy and Carmen Mailloux, by her brothers Denis Mailloux and Rene Mailloux (wife Laurie, Jordan, Alyssa, Sarah), and by her sister Lynne Nordstrom (husband Larry, Aaron, Kenny, Nick) as well as her father and mother in-law Gilbert and Anne Payne, sisters-in-law Dani Barnett (husband Wade, Chris, Mark) and Susan Payne. In lieu of flowers Lisa and the family have asked that donations be made to the Hospice House in your area to support the wonderful work that they do to ensure that our journey from this world is made with peace and compassion. Special thanks go to Dr. Oswald and his staff for all the care they gave her in her fight. We will never forget you little one....you were loved and will be missed by all. A celebration of life will be held at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road, Kelowna on Saturday May 18th at 11:00 am.
