A Vernon family finds itself caught in the middle of a volatile situation as uncertainty envelops a central African nation. President Pierre Nkurunziza’s attempt to seek a third term has led to widespread violence in Burundi’s capital of Bujumbura, and thousands of people have fled to neighbouring countries. “Daily there’s gunfire, explosions and grenade attacks,” said Ray Bale, who operates schools and homes for orphaned children with his wife Mary Anne and almost Ray Bale 11-year-old son Boss. “The police are manning barricades and trying to keep them (protesters) on the outskirts but it’s right downtown.” As a result, Bale has been unable to physically get to the children’s home and its 62 occupants. “Our children are fine. Through phone messages and calls we’re able to reassure them,” he said. Many of the children have previously experienced massacres and war in their native Congo. “This is stirring up memories. There is a fear of, ‘Will this happen again,’” he said. “Sometimes it’s just a case of holding the kids while they are shaking.” The current situation is the worst Burundi has seen since the end of a 13-year civil war in 2005. “When there is a window of opportunity, people move about but when the shooting begins, people get back into their homes,” said Bale. “It’s all around an election but it wouldn’t take much to become another ethnic war.”
— Ray Bale
Some children from the home have already been evacuated, and more may have to leave if the violence escalates. Through adjacent Congo, they would flee to Rwanda. “We are in the process now of making more defined contingency plans to move the children and mamas to Rwanda perhaps as early as next week,” said Bale. “Things continue to deteriorate and unless we see significant changes over the weekend, it may leave us no choice. I will probably remain behind to help facilitate further plans for support and keep our ongoing projects moving forward but will assess the situation on a daily basis.” Bale began working in Burundi in 1995 and the family moved their in 2002 to continue with their work through New Hope Centre and Vernon Christian Fellowship. They just returned to Burundi from Vernon in March, and the family knew that political turmoil could create challenges. They didn’t fear for their safety or question going back. “If we had any thoughts of that, we wouldn’t have come. We wanted to provide stability for the children and the work we do,” said Bale. While financial assistance will be required if relocation of the children becomes necessary, Bale is asking North Okanagan residents to keep his students and the people of Burundi in their thoughts. “It’s a whole nation and if it slips back into war, the work of the last 10 to 12 years will be for naught, and no one wants that,” he said.

McMeeking-Walsh takes top honour CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Vernon Women in Business Woman of the Year 2015 Anne McMeeking-Walsh walked to the podium, her hands clasped in disbelief, as her name was announced at the gala at the Prestige Hotel Thursday evening. “I am absolutely shocked and surprised and honoured,” said McMeeking-Walsh, an early childhood educator. “There are so many of you who give so many gifts to the community. Thank you to my nominator and everyone who supported me and all the families I work with every day.” McMeeking-Walsh, who was honoured for her work with children, parents and families, including volunteer work, said later, “Being nominated and now selected has made me realize how many amazing women there are in the community and how important it is to tell people that you appreciate them and what they do. “Since the nomination, people have told me almost daily that I am appreciated and I have really felt love and support. Thank you to Vernon Women in Business and all the sponsors of this amazing award.” Three other nominees were recognized for their contributions to the community through their work and volunteering – Colleen Barker, Judy Mallett, and Deb White. “Women contribute so much to make Vernon what it is,” said Vernon Women in

Business vice-president and award presentation emcee Galina Labun. Vernon Women in Business Woman of the Year 2015 chair Dr. Shannon MacNeill thanked the committee and the nominees and nominators. “These fabulous ladies all have very diverse passions and all are truly worthy of this award,” she said. The Woman of the Year recipient is selected by an independent committee. “I am proud that we have taken the
leadership in this initiative to honour local women. The leaders of Vernon Women in Business had a vision in 1988 and we have kept this idea alive. The nominees are all women who have enriched the lives and quality of life in our community, each in her own way and made it a better place,” said Vernon Women in Business president Sue Beaudry. Woman of the Year 2014 Joanne Kineshanko spoke about her experiences over the past year.
“Last year, I spoke about my mother and how she had influenced me as a volunteer. I spent Mother’s Day after I received the award with her and I know she was proud of me. Seven days later she passed away peacefully in her sleep. It was a blessing that she could share this with me,” she said, asking people to think about all the things that would not be done in the community without volunteers. Volunteering is a tradition in her family and she had one grandson, Nathan, now six, volunteering with meals at the Lumby seniors’ centre before he was four. “I asked him why he did it and he answered, ‘It makes me feel good.’ Volunteers are the heart and soul of the community. Encourage your children, grandchildren and friends to volunteer. The nominees here have all done wonderful volunteer work and I know it makes them feel good.” McMeeking-Walsh received the Woman of the Year trophy, flowers, a gift basket, a Prestige Hotels and Resorts gift package, a custom pearl jewelry set from Barrita Durward and the coveted City of Vernon parking pass from Mayor Akbal Mund. The evening concluded with an after party. Many of those present left with a renewed awareness and appreciation for what all women contribute, quietly every day, to the community, and, perhaps, inspiration from the nominees to keep doing their own best wherever they are each day.
Stickle Road proposal drives frustration RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Swan Lake’s elected representative is increasingly frustrated with the provincial government’s handling of a dangerous intersection. The Ministry of Transportation is proposing a right-in, right-out model for vehicles going from Stickle Road on to Bob Fleming Highway 97, although most residents and businesses want a traffic signal. “The change proposed will definitely have
a negative impact on business there,” director Bob Fleming told The Morning Star. “In our official community plan, it’s a commercial corridor and that will add to traffic. It makes it more important to have a signal there.” Fleming has fired off a letter to the ministry protesting its right-in, right-out proposal. “Customers of these businesses will find it more difficult to get in and out of the frontage road and will most certainly avoid the intersection,” he writes. “In addition, the scheme proposes to redirect traffic on to Pleasant Valley Road with no upgrades to this road planned. Pleasant Valley Road is narrow and lacks verges (shoulders) on
a significant portion of the road from Stickle to 48th Avenue. With large trucks which service the auto dealerships in this area forced on to Pleasant Valley Road, pedestrians and cyclists will be put at greater risk.” Fleming also points out that the Regional District of North Okanagan has rejected the ministry’s plan. “I hope that you will seriously consider the important issues I have described relating to this intersection and change the plan to create a signalized intersection,” he writes. Swan Lake corridor property owners will be meeting Monday to discuss the intersection and the ministry proposal.

Vernon hosted the first B.C. Seniors Games in 1988 but has been unable to do so since because of the lack of a certified running track. A new facility will open next to Okanagan College in late June. “It makes this a venue that will attract people from far and wide,” said Garlick. As part of its support, GVAC would provide funding towards hosting the event and make the running track available at no charge. Armstrong has previously indicated support. While the city’s focus is hosting the 2017 Games, bids will also be submitted for 2018 and 2019.

Boil water notices cast aside RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon residents will likely hear about fewer boil water advisories. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is moving towards switching water sources if there are turbidity concerns instead of issuing boil water notices or water quality advisories. “The fact that we have two systems that, outside of peak demand in the summer, gives us the ability to avoid boil water notices,” said director Bob Fleming. “It gives us flexibility in the system and protects customers.” The two sources that can be utilized depending on the water quality in the other are Kalamalka Lake and Duteau Creek.
“...The Kal supply is more vulnerable.” — Renee Clark
Director Jim Garlick says conditions on Kalamalka Lake have changed in 50 years. “It’s getting shallower and shallower. It’s not the lake it used to be,” he said. “There are benefits to having some variety.” Staff insist that switching water sources is a more efficient process than issuing boil advisories. “Public notifications are very labour intensive and actions required during an event include staff notifying 800-plus customers on the sensi-
tive customer list, operations staff setting out sign boards in impacted areas and water quality staff conducting increased sampling,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager, in a report. Staff must also develop media releases and respond to customers calls related to the event. Even with all of that work, not everyone knows about the advisories. “Many customers have indicated to Greater Vernon Water that they do no listen
to the radio, watch TV, have the Internet, read the paper, go outside or understand that a notice may apply to them,” said Clark. “In addition, the Kalamalka supply is more vulnerable as it supports most care facilities, the hospital, many schools and a large, elderly population.” Clark added that a boil advisory can also have economic implications for restaurants and hotels. Support for switching water sources instead of issuing boil advisories comes from director Mike Macnabb. “Staff are doing a great job and Interior Health Authority criteria are being met,” said Macnabb. “What we have is a

up with? Something that’s still got that killer instinct.” An aggressive wolf cross was destroyed in February in Spallumcheen after it went after some sheep. Owners of aggressive dogs are warned that fines can be issued if your dog goes after someone. “Spallumcheen has a $500 fine,” said Ellis. No matter what breed of dog you own, licensing them is the best way to keep them, and others, safe. In Spallumcheen, owners are given great incentive to get licenses, which are only $5. “We’re trying to entice people to do it,” said Spallumcheen Coun. Todd York. Although the town-
ship is celebrating a record number of licensed dogs (115 in the first quarter of 2015), it’s still not enough. “Most of the dogs we pick up in Spallumcheen don’t have a license,” said Ellis. Yet having a license can result in additional cost savings, plus getting your dog back to you sooner. The cost for first impound is $75, but if the dog has a license, the first impound is only $35. “It makes a big difference if you have one,” said Ellis. To help educate owners about their roles and responsibilities in owning well-behaved dogs, K9 Control is open to coming and talking to children’s groups and

Water conservation encouraged Morning Star Staff
With the warm weather and lower-than-average valley water levels, the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its WaterWise program have initiated their conservation campaign early. As part of the campaign, the Make Water Work plant collection has been unveiled at garden centres, including Blue Mountain Nursery in Armstrong, Swan Lake Nurseryland in Vernon and Kel-Lake Greenhouses in Lake Country. “Here we have a local government with a campaign to encourage water conservation, reaching out to non-profit, industry, and retail, asking them to help develop and deliver a program that will help make the change we need in our valley – a shift in thinking about how we landscape our yards,” said Corinne Jackson, in charge of the WaterWise program. The valley has less water available per person than anywhere in Canada but has some of the highest use in the country. And, 24 per cent of all water used in the Okanagan is used on household lawns and gardens with a lot of it wasted. Since 2011, there has been an effort to raise awareness, provide tips to make water work more effectively, and a contest to encourage people to take the pledge online at www.MakeWaterWork.
PREFERRED AREAS OF PRACTICE:
“...We will have to pull together in this valley.” — Doug Findlater
ca and be entered to win a WaterWise upgrade to their yard. “This year’s low snowpack and early freshet means we will have to pull together in this valley,” said Doug Findlater, OBWB chairperson. “Hopefully things will improve but we don’t know if this is a one-year anomaly or something we can expect in future years, similar to what is happening south of us in California. Either way, it makes sense to start adopting WaterWise habits now.”

Getting out of the game
t’s gotta be one of my favourite times of the year: cool nights, mild sun-drenched days and the greenest hillsides of the year in these parts, not to mention the blossoms. So what am I doing watching playoff hockey every night? That’s a very good question seeing how my Canucks are out there enjoying all spring has to offer with the rest of us. In fact I think I swore in this very space that I wouldn’t watch any more of Canada’s national pastime once the Nucks were toast, thanks Calgary. However it hasn’t quite worked out that way as I take an interGlenn Mitchell est in the Habs and the Flames and the, well, let’s face it whoever happens to be playing when I get home from work that day. It’s just too easy, I’m afraid. And I’m kind of tired already, not to mention my lazy tendencies. Of course I could blame it on my recliner, once you get in that baby it’s lights out, as my comfort zone becomes a corner of the TV room that swallows me whole and it’s almost like the outside world doesn’t exist. Well, except for the sun shining through the makeshift blinds which ironically make it difficult to watch the men playing on ice at this time of year, heavy sigh, and there’s the dishes waiting to be done in the other room and I try to get a walk in every night and the lawn may need cutting and a telemarketer may call forcing me to run for the phone....... I know, I know what an exciting life I lead. Actually we are getting spring things done around the house, not quick enough for my wife of course, but we’re getting there. And I’m working on my hockey problem, and hockey is doing its part too. For some reason the first round is the most exciting: more upsets, more wide-open action, even more overtimes for some reason.
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
And don’t even get me started on the scoring, or lack of it. After a season where the leading scorer couldn’t even reach the century mark (remember when Gretzky regularly registered over 200 points?), the goals are even harder to come by in the playoffs, and it just gets worse as the teams are eliminated and the play tightens up considerably. Some say the goalies are better, maybe. Some say it’s because the players are bigger, maybe. But the real reason is the emphasis on defence and tight checking and the new mantra, blocked shots. Gee, when there’s 10 or more legs standing between the shooter and the goalie it’s amazing anything gets through to the net. Mostly it doesn’t. But that’s OK, apparently, as the colour commentators glowingly talk about the Rangers’ shot-blocking capability and quote stats about how they, or some other team, or individual, leads the league in blocked shots. Yes, they now keep track of blocked shots and it seems to get mentioned as many times as shots on goal, or saves, or, oh yeah, goals. How long can it be until there’s a trophy for the leader in blocked shots every season? I’m thinking Band-Aid or Absorbine Jr. could sponsor it and I’m sure it’s already written into somebody’s contract with bonuses for having more blocked shots than anybody else on the team. Now don’t get me wrong. I respect anybody who gets in front of a flying frozen rubber disc on behalf of his teammates to help them win. It’s even heroic and unsung and even kind of Canadian, doing what you have to do, knowing that it’s going to hurt or even result in injury, no matter what it is to win. It just doesn’t make for exciting hockey. I’m so tired of 1-0 playoff games (of course the night before I write this rant there’s 15 goals in two games but then they weren’t close soooo...), I have half a mind to get out of that recliner and actually go outside. You know, and actually do something out there in the beautiful outdoors that I claim I love at this time of the year.
Mom quite literally brought you into this world, so it’s no wonder there is so much attention put on these lovely ladies today. She created, nurtured and formed you in her womb (with a touch of help from dad) and gave birth to you. The process continued, only this time in her arms, from a young babe to the person you are today. Think of all the diapers she has changed, all the spilt food she has cleaned up, all the meals she has slaved over, all the laundry she has folded, all the beds she has made, all the toys she has cleaned up, all the tears she has wiped, all the boo-boos she has kissed and all the words of wisdom she has shared. There is so much to be thankful for when it comes to moms. Whether it’s your real mom, surrogate mom, aunty, grandma or special lady in your life, today is the time to show them how much you care and appreciate all they do. But like giving thanks only on Thanksgiving, putting mom on a pedestal doesn’t have to be just a once-a-year occasion. It doesn’t mean you have to shower her with gifts and pamper her everyday (although it doesn’t hurt to do it more often). Lending a hand in the kitchen, whether you live at home or come by for visits, not only gives mom a bit of a break, but it’s an opportunity to bond with mom and create treasured memories. Doing something unexpected like fixing that squeaky tap or weeding the garden is another nice chore that will make mom’s day, any day. But most of all, telling your mom how much you appreciated all she does is the best gift of all. And one that shouldn’t just be saved for today.

Intersection deserves traffic light
am writing to voice my concern over the proposed closing of the left-hand turn lane heading south off Stickle Road and Highway 97 north. There is no doubt that this is a very dangerous intersection that I personally avoid daily. It has actually contributed to four deaths (2003-2012), and more than 145 automobile accidents to date. The taxpaying public and businesses which use this route deserve a safe intersection to allow them to navigate south to the core of Vernon. The option of using Pleasant Valley Road is not a viable option, as it would put a lot of pressure on this roadway and also is inconvenient for the public to navigate from the businesses of the Swan Lake corridor. A recent meeting between the Regional District of the North Okanagan, and the Swan Lake Business Group was well attended, and raised some interesting facts and discussions. One was the unanimous opposition to the left-hand lane being closed, but another was the sewer and water utilities upgrade which will begin construction in the near future. Finally we will be able to attract industry and business to north Vernon with these addition utilities. This will obviously bring Vernon an economic upswing, IN RESPONSE This is my response to M. Strangward’s subjective rant, Judge fairly, which inaccurately insinuated I have a, “leftist or socialist perspective.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper (both the man and his policies) leaves much to be desired. For example, he promised Senate reform but instead created the current scandal by personally selecting three of the most partisan hacks to ever be appointed to the Red Chamber. More recently, Harper has had the gall to try and mislead Canadians about the Liberals’ record on fiscal management, deliberately glossing over the fact that Liberal governments had budgetary surpluses from 1997 to 2005. In fact Stephen Harper is so obsessed with destroying the Trudeau name, he is currently reaching back decades in a pathetic attempt to link Justin Trudeau to the unbalanced budgets of his father, former prime minister
and job creation that we so desperately have been longing for. So with the increase in people working at these businesses, and the traffic from the buying public, this will naturally add increased pressure on our roadways surrounding Stickle Road and Pleasant Valley Road. You also would want the public and workers to have
Pierre Trudeau. Harper has broken numerous promises. Here are a few examples: an open ethical government, major military procurements, support for Canadian veterans, construction of heavy duty icebreakers to increase Canadian presence in the north, and even the developing of a cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions. The only promises Harper makes a point of keeping appear to be the ones that reward his Conservative base. In recent years, Green Party candidates have garnered my support because I refuse to vote for a political party that allows an authoritarian leader to treat their own members of Parliament like mindless marine mammals that must sit quietly until commanded to bark out deviously contrived talking points. No doubt Strangward will be surprised to learn my preferred political position is moderately right of centre. Lloyd Atkins
WITH THANKS A few years ago, my wife and I moved to Vernon from Alberta in order to be closer to our family, and we have been very happy that we made that decision. The seniors' complex we live in has many activities to keep us entertained, the climate is an improvement over the one we left behind, and we were fortunate to find a very caring family doctor to take us on as patients. On top of that, we get to see our granddaughter quite regularly. As part of our routine, we usually do our grocery shopping on Tuesdays and then treat ourselves to a meal at various restaurants. About a month ago, we chose to eat at an Asian food buffet. Since my wife has back problems and I have knee problems, we asked to be seated at a table rather than a booth. The table we were given was in very close proximity to one occupied by four gentlemen wearing the Stutters insignia on their jackets. It was obvious, from their conversation and laughter,
safe and easy access to the main arteries in and out of Vernon. Again, let's make it attractive for these businesses to call Vernon home. Remove the roadblocks. On a personal note, I have invested a lot of money and time into this destination automotive dealership, and I truly feel that the closure of this left turn lane it would be detrimental to my business. It is hard enough to get people to visit a destination business, and I have had to spend a large amount of money and time to attract the public to the so-called outskirts of town. The taxpaying businesses of the Swan Lake corridor deserve a light at this intersection, as does the general public. This traffic light control is required today and for the future of our fine city and district. I ask the Ministry of Transportation to not make it difficult for consumers to conduct business with the stores surrounding Swan Lake and area, while making our roadways safe, and attracting new business for our economic prosperity. Pat Loehndorf, General manager/partner, Bannister Honda
that these men enjoy their work and working with each other. They kept us completely entertained as they recounted their experiences to each other. As they were leaving, they apologized for forcing us to listen to their problems. When we assured them that we were not at all inconvenienced and that we enjoyed the eavesdropping, they then jokingly asked us if we would like to pay their bill. When we politely declined, they then said, "OK, then we will pay yours." And to our surprise, that is exactly what they did. We were so stunned, we did not get a chance to properly thank them before they left. A couple of weeks later, as we were arriving to the same restaurant, a couple of the same men were leaving and as they recognized us, they jokingly informed us that they got tired of waiting for us. Courtesy and kindness are alive and well in Vernon. Frank Gurak

Advisory Committee,” said Tom Kadla, the village’s chief administrative officer. Lumby Days runs from June 12 to 14. Details sought on agricultural plan Lumby officials aren’t making any firm decisions yet on the Regional District of North Okanagan’s draft regional agricultural area plan. Council believes more information is needed on the plan, including the results of two recent public open houses. “Some farmers are happy with it and others aren’t,” said Coun. Julie Pilon. The draft plan focuses on protecting farmland and farmers, strengthening the local agricultural economy, encouraging sustainable agricultural practices, managing clean and accessible water, ensuring farmland availability for emerging farmers, creating supportive government policies and regulations and raising awareness and education.

Lumby’s financial practises have been given the green light. Accounting firm Rossworn Henderson has presented the village’s 2014 financial statements. “They went through it with a fine-tooth comb,” said Coun. Julie Pilon. “In their opinion, they consider the financial statements to be in great shape.” One area the accountants looked at was reserve funds and the village’s ability to address the infrastructure deficit, a challenge most communities face. “They are happy that we are building up the reserves,” said Pilon. Lumby Days moves ahead Political support means a popular festival will take place again this year. Lumby council has waived the village noise bylaw and extended it until midnight June 12 and 13 to allow for the Lumby Days stage show and midway. The Lumby Days Society also wants to confirm use of the park, the curling club, the White Valley Community Centre, Pat Duke Arena and Royals Park for the event. “That was already approved by the regional district’s Whitevalley Parks, Recreation and Culture

Stead aces Charger golf award ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Around his hometown, Vernon golfer Brady Stead is known for helping coach his former high school team, the Vernon Panthers, for officiating hockey and raising money for charity and research. Now, his fellow students at Victoria’s Camosun College know it too. Stead, 21, recently won the school’s prestigious President’s Cup award for his outstanding achievements in academics and athletics. A fourth year marketing major, Stead earned an 8.5 grade point average to achieve top academic status among the college’s student-athletes. On the golf course, Stead finished in the top-10 on the PACWEST Order Of Merit, and helped the Chargers to a pair of silver medal finishes at the PACWEST provincial and CCAA national golf championships. “The President’s Cup means a lot to me,” said Stead, now home and back working for a second summer at The Rise. “I’ve come a long way with my golf game and with school. I was a young guy out of high school when I came to Victoria and didn’t really know much about what was going on (with school) but I figured it out.” Stead started out in athletics wanting to be a hockey player. It wasn’t until he got a junior membership at Hillview Golf Course one summer that golf quickly became an obsession. “My mom (Sandy Spinks) would drop me off at the course on her way to work, I’d play all day, then she’d pick me up on her way home,” said Stead, a left-hander who carries a 0 handicap.
“That’s where I really began to play a lot, then I got a junior membership at Vernon (Golf and Country Club).” Over the past four years, Stead has fine-tuned his game under the tutelage of Camosun head coach John Randle, a big fan of Stead. “He’s a great kid and a super guy to have on the team,” said Randle. “As a golfer, he’s a hard worker. That’s how he’d define himself and how the other guys on the team would describe him. He’s built himself into a great player over the last two or three years by putting in the work.” Stead saved one of his best rounds of the season for the last 18 holes of the provincial colleges’ qualifying tournament at the Okanagan Golf Course in CAMOSUN ATHLETICS Kelowna. Vernon golfer Brady Stead swings away for the Camosun College Chargers in Victoria. He won the school’s presStead shot 2-under par over tigious President’s Cup for outstanding acheivements in academics and athletics. the final six holes, and his teammates were 6-under over Stead will return to Camosun in the fall high school coach for giving him the chance those last six holes, to rally and beat UBC to finish the five classes he needs for his to pursue the sport he loves.

Vees welcome back DePourcq for RBC Cup Black Press Sports
Cody DePourcq is the only player left from the 2012 Penticton Vees’ Royal Bank Cup championship team. Expected to be without the 20-year-old co-captain for the national Junior A hockey tournament which began Saturday in Portage, the Vees got good news Friday when the gritty forward was cleared to play. “It’s probably a big emotional boost for everybody,” said Penticton head coach Fred Harbinson, of DePourcq, who had his jaw broken in two places during Game 2 of the BCHL final on April 11. “He looks good. Playing with a lot of energy as usual.” DePourcq was back on the ice for practice with team-

mates wearing a yellow non-contact jersey Thursday, as was F Cam Amantea, who has been cleared to play from an upper body injury. The Vees opened the five-team tourney Saturday against the Portage Terriers, who they iced 4-3 in overtime in the Western Canada Cup final in Fort McMurray. The Carleton Place Canadians, who blew a late two-goal lead and lost the 2014 RBC Cup to the Yorkton Terriers at Kal Tire Place in Vernon, the Soo Thunderbirds and the Melfort Mustangs of Saskatchewan are also in the tourney. “It was awesome, took me a little time to get my timing back and to play at the pace that our team plays at, but once I got into things I felt more comfortable,” said DePourcq of

practice. “I really wanted to take a couple hits and bumps just to get that confidence again in competitive situations. I felt really good and I’m excited to be able to get back with the team.” While DePourcq is looking to win his second national championship, he said it’s going to be a new experience for a lot of guys and an exciting one. “Hopefully (Demico) Hannoun and I can take what we’ve learned from our experiences and make the guys around us feel more comfortable and help channel their emotions in the right direction,” he said. Hannoun, a former Viper, is playing in his third straight RBC Cup tournament.

Kal Tire shuts off Pinnacles Morning Star Staff
Jesse Knight scored a deuce as Vernon Kal Tire iced the Penticton Pinnacles 4-0 in Tree Brewing Kelowna Men’s Soccer League 35+ play Thursday night at Beasley Park. Kal Tire keeper Damian Adams saw little work as his back line stymied the Pinnacles in a scoreless first half in Lake Country. The Tiremen came out strong in the final 45 and Knight supplied his fifth of the year on a header off a cross by the Nokomis Landscaping Man of the Match Michael Arding. A few minutes later, Tim McGowan broke free on a feed from Mark Budgen and buried a low shot. Geoff Straight curled one in with his magic foot to make it 3-0. In the 60th minute, Arding rang a header off the post. A couple minutes later, Rodney Goodchild had a goal called back on a controversial call where Goodchild stole the ball from a sprawling Penticton player. The final goal was scored by Knight off a long feed from defender Ryan Sharp. Dynamic defence was turned in by Pedro Garro, Dave (BX Cidery) Dobernigg and returning Tyler (Falcon) Johnson who flew again all night. Rob Ross pulled a first-half hat trick and finished with four goals to take the Rob Culos Law Office Man of the Match as the Silver Stars smacked Summerland Rockets 8-1 in Okanagan Men’s 55+ play Thursday night. Keith Chancellor, Geoff Greenwell, Kerry Zubot and Art Renaud also scored for the Stars, whose keeper Dave Gould saved a penalty. In other 55+ play, Vernon Kal Tire drew 1-1 with Penticton United at Mission Sports Field #10. Central midfielder Denis Chabot nicely finished in tight after a nifty feed by striker Glen Jones, who took the Burger King Man of the Match. The Pinnacles equalized when speedy rookie
British central fullback Darryl Pace, a Bristol fan, juked and jived around four defenders before beating keeper Pete (The Heat) Richter, who had no chance. Richter had a great night, scooping several loose balls cleanly. The Sir Winston’s Attack brushed off the Green Rockets 1-0 in women’s Division II play Thursday night at Marshall #5. Celine Conly of the Attack played a brilliant first half in net, shutting down some sure goals. Tessa Derksen must have had the luck of the Irish on her side when she maintained the shutout for the second half – despite a few very threatening breakaways from the opposing team. The purple squad was delighted to welcome Natalie Lussin back – as predicted this roadrunner dominated the midfield and fed some lovely balls up to the eager forwards. Monika Jatel made a rush down the line look completely effortless, and then crossed a beautiful ball for striker Brandi Wejr to finish. The 3-0-1 purple squad held the lead thanks to some bold defensive play from Dairy Queen Player of the Match Tammy Dar, as well as consistently smart play from Ashley Straiger and Megan Mackus. Rumour has it newbie Laurie Chickloski was battling a chest cold, but her tenacious tackles and hard balls up the field certainly didn’t reveal it. Seasons Sistas shut down the Fantastic Four 3-0 at Marshall #4 with Fan Four keeper Kris Ponto keeping the score low. Sweeper/stopper Olivia Anderson was heard encouraging the defence up to half – catching the 3-0-1 Sistas offside multiple times. Defender Ruth Delisle has been hiding a massive throw in as she brought the pipes and redirected the Fab Four downfield many times. Defender Alana Lindsay was aggressive in the back half and worked the line hard to keep the ball away from the Fab Four half.

Seniors advocate takes office
sobel McKenzie, first B.C. seniors advocate, was greeted by a large crowd at Schubert Centre April 24 anxious to hear what they could expect from this new office. McKenzie brings more than 20 years of experience working with seniors to the table and is very articulate and well aware of the problems that are and have been a concern for many years. Currently voters over 65 years make up 17 per cent of the Pat Black population in B.C., with projections showing that by 2031 those over 65 will represent 25 per cent of our population. This is one large voting block that could easily influence political outcomes. The appointment of this advocate is a wise political move by the provincial liberals. McKenzie knows her stuff and has already produced two reports plus appointing 30 members chosen for a Seniors Advocate Council of Advisers from regions across B.C. These council members will be key volunteer advisers to the advocate and her office. In her first report, The Journey Begins: Together We Can Do Better, she looked at quality and accessibility of key services to B.C.

Okanagan Hospice Society, a School District 22 scholarship and the North Okanagan Therapeutic Riding Association were also recipients of recent donations from the CWI. “Although we no longer own the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall, we are still very
seniors. “The current situation, with information scattered across a number of ministries, health authorities and service providers and with varying degrees of reliability and transparency, is clearly not meeting the needs of seniors,” she states. She will introduce independent, standardized province-wide satisfaction surveys for all residential care facilities, home support and HandyDART services. “I will go directly to the seniors who use these services and ask them what is working, what is not working, and how services could be improved.” She says. Wow! If she does nothing but this we will all be big winners,” she said. Her second report, Placement, Drugs and Therapy...We Can Do Better dealing with premature placement in residential care, overuse of drugs and lack of rehabilitative therapy for seniors in residential care found that up to 15 per cent of B.C. seniors who are living in residential care may be incorrectly housed, with assisted living or community care being more appropriate options. This is very big news and changes the long-held perceptions of the need for more residential beds and the high costs involved and how these resources could be better used. The second issue that the data highlights in the report and one expressed by many family members is the overuse of medication, particularly antipsychotics. If 34 per cent of residential care clients are
being prescribed antipsychotic medication, yet only four per cent have a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder, why are they being given these major mind altering drugs? About 47 per cent of residential care clients are being prescribed antidepressant medications, while only 24 per cent of these clients have actually been assessed as having depression. Again why and for whose convenience? The third issue is the significant lack of rehabilitative therapies in B.C.’s residential care facilities. The Office of the Seniors Advocate will be addressing these, and other emerging systemic issues that affect seniors in several upcoming reports. The advocate’s review of seniors’ housing in the province will also be released in late spring. The Office of the Seniors Advocate is now open and is seeking public input into seniors’ issues in B.C. Visit seniorsadvocatebc.ca or call 1- 877-952-3181 toll-free or email info@ seniorsadvocatebc.ca. Happy Mother’s Day to all those mothers who have produced offspring, or loved another’s child or taken care of a lonely one or have been part of a loving friendship to another. The definition of the word mother, for me, is giving love unconditionally so this day honours all those who can and do this every day of their lives.

NEW YORK - The Lower East Side Tenement Museum is one of the more intriguing activities New York has to offer. Housed at 97 Orchard Street, the museum is part of a unique network of ‘social conscience’ museums that use real life stories and heirlooms to recreate history. Here, it’s of the everyday lives of those immigrants who helped shape New York’s history and culture. In its heyday at the turn of the last century, this part of the city produced 85 per cent of garments for the entire United States, and the area teemed with new arrivals: Jewish Eastern Europeans, Germans, Irish, Italians and others. Most came with the intent of living the American dream, but the facts of their lives were stark. Tenement living was crowded, noisy and unsanitary, and always either too hot or too

By the mid 1930s, when legislation required landlords to fireproof hallways and undertake other upgrades, many of these cockroach-infested tenements were torn down.
Except for Number 97, where the owner deemed it easier to evict the tenants and board the building up. This is how it remained for more than half a century during which it has become something akin to a time capsule. The faded wallpaper still oozes the smell of soot from the coal-

History comes alive Continued from previous page
As you tour the apartments, you learn of the Rogarshevsky family, Eastern European Jews (1918); the Baldizzi family, Italian Catholics (1930s); and the Gumpertz family, German Jews (1870s) whose dream for a better life took an unexpected turn. One day in 1878, Nathalie Gumpertz’s shoemaker husband went to work and never returned, forcing his wife into the dressmaking business (out of the front room) in order to support her four young children. One child was dead within a year. Then there is rags to riches history of Polish-born Harris and Jennie Levine and their four children who lived, worked, cooked, ate and slept in three tiny rooms that were – and still are – crammed with beds, cribs, and household essentials alongside machinery that comprised a small garment factory. A presser would wield an 18-pound iron from the same stove top that simmered the family’s soup pot; cutters and sewers worked near the apartment’s only window, and yards of pink silk, coloured threads and black brocade lie on every flat surface. As with all the families represented here, research is a slow, time-consuming process of delving into genealogy, exploring their trades and work, and the things they could have afforded and would have liked to put in their home. Wherever possible, family members are tracked down to help recreate a real-life story with stories and inherited furnishings that are, in effect, returned to the home they once served. Although it can take years to gather enough

Visitors learn first-hand about the Rogarshevsky family while touring the Tenement Museum. information to re-occupy an apartment, it’s an approach that has made the Tenement Museum both a National Historic Landmark and a founding member of the International Coalition of Historic Site Museums of Conscience, a worldwide network that use a site’s history to explore contemporary social issues ranging from racism to genocide. Members include South Africa’s District Six (Apartheid) Museum, The Gulag Museum (Russia), The
Slave House (Senegal) and The Workhouse (England). At the Tenement Museum, displays show how immigrants shaped the garment industry that seems to have changed little from one century to the next. The Lower East Side currently houses an estimated 500 garment factories, 80 per cent of which are owned by Chinese immigrants. Hence, history is shedding light on a very current issue.

Concrete designer attracts a following Morning Star Staff
Tucked away in a studio at the tip of the Okanagan, three men and women are hunched over a table, stirring a rare rose quartz concrete mixture and curling copper for an inlay, dusty palms lit by lamps. It’s almost midnight. Darting between their tables is Crewe Concrete Training owner and concrete artisan Keith Crewe, a bear of a man with the word Love stitched above the pocket of his overalls. Loretta Emonts, a skinny 26-year-old redhead in rubber boots, lifts her head from a patch of rocks that will become bear claw inlays. “Keith, how do you go home? This is so awesome.” Crewe — who discovered that same passion for this most natural and transformable medium 14 years ago and was recently featured in Debbie Travis’ column — rubs his eyebrow with his wrist and replies, “I know. But now I get excited watching you guys get excited. That’s why I’m here 16 hours a day.” In fact, some students who attend his new five-day concrete training program head out at dusk for hotel rooms, ski trails, or golf courses overlooking Okanagan Lake, but others stay as long as Crewe keeps the lights on. “This is about inspiring people to become creative and push their own abilities. To try things. At least that’s what I encourage them to do, and that’s what I love about teaching,” said Crewe, who is sought-after by homeowners because he mixes his own concrete with various colours of natural sand for depth and character, then shapes it into table tops, beams, and walls, often with intricate inlays. “The artisan part is really the manipulation of the medium. People are looking for something a bit more creative, and it’s really the only high end custom medium there is (for countertops),” said Crewe, a former carpenter and largely self-taught concrete countertop maker who began offering professional concrete training in 2014 because he wanted to help others — DIY-ers and tradespeople — do it well. Crewe Concrete Training has been attracting students from across North America because it offers small class sizes (just four), two projects students get to take home (concrete bench and vanity), and a training opportunity that doubles as a holiday. In addition to experiencing all elements of architectural concrete, students have a chance to experience all that is the paradise
SPROING CREATIVE PHOTOS
Crewe Concrete Training is gaining popularity across North America for its residential designs, while company owner Keith Crewe (below) was recently featured in a column written by Debbie Travis. of the Okanagan — wineries, watersports, championship golf, champagne powder and farm-to-table cuisine. With the Canadian dollar dropping, the oil and gas industry in a slump, and a buddy deal in which partners pay just half the course fee, more and more Americans and Albertans are venturing into B.C. to “join the Crewe.” Crewe also customizes elements of the course to suit students’ goals. For example, a couple from Costa Rica needed to learn, with limited South American resources, how to achieve the look of Crewe’s selfmixed natural sand concrete products. He’s been surprised at the range of students who have attended the course, from middle-aged Americans and female DIY-ers to tradespeople on the hunt for a new career that’s creative and lucrative. Oliver Bredesen, a firefighter from northern B.C., attended the program to learn the form in a fun, experimental way. Now he rents a studio and has clients lined up for his concrete hearths and countertops. “Keith gave me such a strong foundation and such confidence that word-of-mouth
about what I’m doing has been powerful enough that I haven’t even had to advertise,”
said Bredesen, who enjoys an ongoing mentor-student relationship with Crewe.

Spallumcheen residents aren’t being squeezed too hard by the taxman this year. The township recently adopted its financial plan, which includes a .83 per cent increase for 2015. For the average residential single-family home it works out to approximately $53. “It’s a bit of a balancing act but I think we’re doing pretty well,” said Coun. Todd York. The biggest challenge, said York, is making things last, specifically roads. “That’s the thing that costs us the most.” Water allocation leads to investigation A Spallumcheen farmer eager to feed his crop has tapped into some additional water, meanwhile the request has officials probing the potential of a further source. A 10.5 hectare farm below Stepping Stones has gained access to some additional water (which will cost $12,000) for newly planted fruit trees. “Although there is a somewhat limited amount of water (because it is treated), we approved the allotment,” said Coun. Todd York. “He has a modern irrigation system that uses less water,” added York. “We’ve got to support agriculture.” The request has Spallumcheen looking into the potential of accessing another source of water, rather than putting treated water on crops. “There is an agricultural source of water at the end of Old Kamloops Road,” said York. “We’re going to investigate whether there’s some opportunity to get that across the highway.” Seeds of agricultural plan spread A regional effort to plant a streamlined agricultural plan is beginning to take root. The Regional Agricultural Area Plan, initiated in 2013, has made its way into draft form to members for input. “The intent of this plan is to provide an overview of the current regional food system in
the North Okanagan, identify opportunities, and make recommendations that would help support a healthy, resilient and sustainable agricultural sector,” reads the RAAP. It includes several priorities, such as protecting farmland and farmers, strengthening the local agricultural economy and managing clean, accessible and affordable water. The Regional District of North Okanagan is looking for feedback by May 20. “It seems to be pretty much identical to our agricultural plan and what we’re trying to achieve,” said Spallumcheen Coun. Todd York. The RAAP could also serve as a forum for farmers, processors, distributors and retailers

C o l d s t r e a m Elementary’s Green Team is implementing waste reduction and diversion efforts for the upcoming spring carnival Wednesday. More than 300 Coldstream students and parents are expected to turn out from 5 to 7 p.m. for the annual evening of food and fun. “It’s great to see our parents advisory council embracing the three Rs in planning our biggest fundraising event of the year,” said principal Brian Stevens. Several area businesses have stepped up to support the school’s initiative in moving toward a zero-waste event. Spa Hills Compost will be accepting the food waste generated, and Vernon’s Water Store is contributing a self-serve water station to help reduce the number of disposable bottles at the event. “I love the idea of Coldstream moving
toward a zero-waste event. Teaching our kids about it at a young age is so important,” said Rick Monahan with Nature’s Fare Markets, which has donated reusable totes for the take-home goodies, and prizes kids collect throughout the evening. Volunteer waste station attendants will manage compost, refundable, mixed recycling and landfill bins. And will they be recognizable in their upcycled Starbucks barista aprons that have been re-branded with the Coldstream Green Team logo, designed by former student Cory Dobson.

Council hikes district taxes
Book Binge
WATKINMOTORS.COM
KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
Lake Country residents will see a municipal tax increase of 3.13 per cent in 2015. Council gave three readings to its 2015 tax rate bylaw Tuesday and will meet May 12 to formally adopt the bylaw. The tax hike equates to approximately a $51 increase for an average single-family dwelling assessed at about $492,000. When it comes to total tax revenue from property taxes, the district will bring in $10.1 million. The total 2015 operat- Rose Bronswyk ing and capital budget is $29.8 million with the total taxable assessment in Lake Country of $2.7 billion compared to $2.6 billion in 2014. Lake Country remains one of the lower taxed municipalities in the Okanagan and draws the majority of its taxes from residential property taxes over industrial taxes in a situation that has worsened over the last decade, according to a report to council by Rose Bronswyk, chief financial officer. In 2006, 84.3 per cent of total municipal property taxes collected were from residential properties in Lake Country while in 2015, the figure has risen to 86.9 per cent, but has been fairly stable for the past seven years, wrote Bronswyk. When it comes to comparing other municipalities, Bronswyk compiled comparisons to other Okanagan municipalities, combining municipal and regional district tax rates for a fair comparison. That pushed Lake Country’s rate to 4.02 per cent, the second lowest in the Okanagan Valley, only to Summerland’s 3.63 per cent. Other jurisdictions combined municipal/ regional district rate include Peachland (4.14), West Kelowna (4.24), Kelowna (4.41), Coldstream (4.63), Vernon (5.18) and Salmon Arm (5.23).

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND DEATH WEARS A BEAUTY MASK
Sisters Kaitlyn and Alexandra Richards look through the tables of books at the Vernon Friends of the Library book sale at the Vernon Curling Club. The proceeds go towards the Vernon branch of Okanagan Regional Library.
A collection of short stories from the #1 New York Times bestselling “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark, including the never-before-published novella Death Wears a Beauty Mask. From Clark’s first-ever published story (1956’s “Stowaway”), to classic tales featuring Alvirah and Willy, My Gal Sunday and many more, Death Wears a Beauty Mask and Other Stories gives readers the chance to revisit the short story highlights from the “Queen of Suspense.” The jewel of this collection is the novella showcasing the dazzling and dangerous world of high fashion in 1970s New York City: Death Wears a Beauty Mask, which Mary began in 1974 and put aside to write Where Are the Children, the book that launched her career. Mary returned to Death Wears a Beauty Mask nearly forty years later and the result is spectacular. Featuring the same chills and heart-pounding drama we’ve come to expect from a Mary Higgins Clark title, and including an exclusive author’s introduction, Death Wears a Beauty Mask and Other Stories is a spinetingling read and glimpse into the evolution of the remarkable career of the “Queen of Suspense.”

Cathi Litzenberger Morning Star Columnist
Today is Mother’s Day. Today we honour our moms, and let them know how much they are loved and appreciated. When I was growing up, my mother had eight kids and half the neighbourhood running in and out of her house. So much of her time was spent preparing food, doing laundry, ironing, mending clothes, settling fights, patching up scrapes and cuts and disciplining children that I’m amazed she found the time to play and do crafts and baking with us. In our first years, she had no running water or electricity so it’s no surprise housekeeping came last on her list, especially with the nine of us (yes, Dad too) never picking up, or cleaning up after ourselves. How she ever kept her sanity through those years is a mystery to me but I suspect it was her strong faith. It’s been five years since my mom passed — I miss her. Today’s first recipes are perfect for any mom, because any dad can help his child prepare them for her; they’re simple but delicious. The ice cream pie and the chicken recipe are gluten-free; the French toast is sure to become a brunch favourite, and the salmon looks elegant and tastes divine. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms everywhere. Over Night Apple-Cinnamon French Toast 1 pound loaf inexpensive supermarket French or Italian bread 8 large or extra large eggs, slightly beaten 3 1/2 cups skim milk 3 Tbsp. + 1/2 cup sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 5-6 apples, sliced thin 1 Tbsp. butter (salted is fine) Maple syrup Whipped cream, optional Use nonstick cooking spray or butter a 9x13 inch pan. Cut the bread into 1.5 inch slices and pack them tightly into the prepared pan in one layer. In a large bowl, stir together eggs, milk, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla. Pour half of this egg mixture over the bread slices. Distribute the apple slices over the bread, and top with the remaining egg mixture. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 3 Tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle this mixture evenly over everything in the pan. Dot with butter. Cover the whole thing and refrigerate overnight or for 6+ hours.

Overnight Apple-Cinammon French Toast makes a delicious Mother’s Day brunch — make it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. The next day, or when ready to bake, uncover the pan and bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven 50-60 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm with maple syrup (and whipped cream if you’d like) and enjoy! Parmesan Chicken 3 cups Rice Krispies Brown Rice GlutenFree cereal 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 tsp. dried basil 1/2 tsp. dried oregano 1 egg 1/3 cup 2% milk 1/4 cup rice flour 1/2 tsp. salt 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 cups pasta sauce 1 cup shredded mozzarella 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley In large plate or shallow pan, combine crushed cereal, Parmesan, basil and oregano. In medium bowl, whisk egg and milk together until well-combined. Whisk in flour and salt; mix until smooth. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with cereal mixture, pressing until completely coated. Place in single layer on foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake at 350 F about 35 minutes or until no longer pink in centre. (Do not cover or turn chicken while cooking.) Spread half of the pasta sauce into a 33 x 23 cm (13 x 9-inch) casserole dish. Arrange cooked chicken into dish and cover with remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted and golden, about 20 minutes. Serving suggestion: serve with roasted baby potatoes and steamed fresh veggies. Tomato Basil Salmon 2 (6 ounce) boneless salmon fillets 1 tablespoon dried basil 1 tomato, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets onto the foil, sprinkle with basil, top with tomato slices, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is opaque in the centre, and the Parmesan cheese is lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes.
Strawberry Ice Cream Pie 2 Tbsp. firmly-packed brown sugar 3 Tbsp. butter 1/4 cup corn syrup 2-1/2 cup Rice Krispies Brown Rice Gluten-Free cereal 1 L or 4 cups vanilla ice cream 3 cups fresh strawberries 1 Tbsp. sugar In medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter and syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal, mixing until well-coated. With back of spoon press evenly into buttered 23 cm (9”) pie plate to form crust. Chill until firm. Spoon softened ice cream into chilled crust, spreading evenly. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours; cover. Reserve about 250 ml (1 cup) berries. In food processor or blender, purée remaining strawberries. Sweeten with sugar to taste. Cover and refrigerate. At serving time, slice reserved berries; top each pie slice with sliced berries and drizzle with strawberry purée.

Crazy Cow Kids Corral is open for play
WATKINMOTORS.COM
Morning Star Staff
The wristbands are off at the Crazy Cow Kids Corral at Davison Orchards. “We are very excited about the changes to the Kids Corral to allow children free access to play,” said Tamra Davison of Davison Orchards. The family farm, which is a favourite for both locals and tourists, has made changes to the very popular kids’ play area so it no longer has an admission. The Crazy Cow Kids Corral is a oneacre, enclosed farmthemed kids’ play area which allows children to have good old-fashioned fun. While some of the attractions were removed, others were added so kids can continue to have fun on the slides, in the tree houses, the sandbox, on the tractors or playing hopscotch. “Some families still have punch cards from previous years and we are prepared to honour those as punch cards towards our farm tours,” said Davison. “Our farm tours have a new seasonal and interactive component which is fun and engaging for the whole family.” Davison Orchards has recently released a new website which has information on all of this season’s changes, such as the season tour pass, the Crazy Cow Kids Corral and the upcoming special

Celebrating mom
Editor’s note: Vernon & Women’s Transition House Society recently held a Mother’s Day writing contest, asking for people to share why their mom is like no other. The winner is Ashley Sunday, who wins a $100 gift card to the Village Green Centre. She honours her mother, Jean Sunday; both are Vernon residents. Ashley sundAy Special to The Morning Star
There aren’t enough words in the world to describe why my mom is the greatest. She encouraged me when I lost all hope. She’s picked up the pieces when I’ve felt shattered. She’s guided me when I’ve lost my way. She’s never given up on me when I gave up on myself. She’s nursed me back to health when I was near death. She’s my best friend, my hero, my role model, and the best grandmother my child could ever ask for. She always puts everyone else’s needs before her own. Now while all this may seem ordinary to anyone else, it’s extraordinary to me and I’m so grateful to have her as my mother.

A Prayer for the Unborn Divine Savior, when Herod sought to murder you, your life was saved by the efforts of Mary and Joseph, who fled with you to safety in a foreign land. May all mothers and fathers look upon their unborn children with the same love and concern. I pray, O Lord, for all the unborn children, that they may know you and enjoy the blessings of eternal life in your kingdom. I pray even more that you will touch the hearts of all those who are tempted to harm the life of the unborn child, and fill them with the special love you have for innocent humanity. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend the souls of those children whose lives have ended before birth. May all who have sought the destruction of the life of an unborn child experience the grace of repentence and turn to you with contrite heart. Amen

Story of love and loss is for the ages Seaton’s 27th Street Theatre stages Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet with a steampunk esthetic For The Morning Star
Kristin Froneman /morninG star
Emanuel Kalinsky and Katie Beatty play the star-crossed lovers in 27th Street Theatre Company’s production of Romeo and Juliet, staging May 19 to 23 at W.L. Seaton Secondary School.
D
W.L. Seaton Secondary’s 27th Street Theatre is gearing up for its final show of this year, Shakespeare’s beloved classic Romeo and Juliet. Set in the subculture environment of steampunk clockwork, the famous star-crossed lovers are surrounded in visual metaphors, which reflect and support the tragic timing of their story. “Romeo, played by Emanuel Kalinsky, and Juliet, played by Katie Beatty, truly embody the essence of Shakespeare’s young lovers and it has been an honour to work with them,” said director Lana O’Brien. “The whole company is wonderful These kids have created such a beautiful show. O’Brien has taught drama for the past 20 years and has led students in more than 40 productions. She cites Romeo and Juliet as among her top five favourite productions in recent years - the other’s being The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, In My Life: A Beatles Musical, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and this fall’s widely acclaimed Anne of Green Gables. For Beatty, who is in Grade 11, this version of Shakespeare’s classic is especially notable for its style, inspired by 19th-century industrial steampowered machinery. “It’s been fun and I love how it is set in the
steampunk-era style,” she said. “I am also liking the fact that it is told in the original Shakespearean language,” added Kalinsky, with the show translated from the page to the stage. “Tackling Shakespeare’s language was daunting for some of the students at first, but they all went into it wholeheartedly and have mastered the nuances of the beautiful poetry,” said O’Brien. Not having a stagecraft class this semester has also proved challenging with the massive design concept O’Brien envisioned, so she approached her mentor and long-time friend Dave Brotsky to give her a hand. He designed and built one of the critical set pieces, and mentored O’Brien and her tech-savvy students in a lighting design, which includes four digital “intelligent” lights newly acquired by the 27th Street Theatre Company. “They are so beautiful and fun to play with. It adds another dimension of professionalism to the students’ stellar performance work,” said O’Brien. A 30 minute festival version of the show is being showcased at the Goodwill Shakespeare Festival in Summerland this weekend, and when not on stage, the students are taking workshops in drama, film, writing, art and music, focussing on Shakespeare’s work. “Undoubtedly, the festival will improve the students’ understanding and performance levels of this show even more as they prepare to open the show for the Vernon public,” said O’Brien. Romeo and Juliet runs at Seaton’s 27th Street Theatre May 19 to 23 at 7:30 p.m., plus a 2 p.m. matinee May 23. Tickets can be purchased at the Seaton office, or can be reserved by calling 250-5423361 (ext 2227). All seats are $12.
Break a leg, but not in the literal sense
on’t ask me how, but I managed to break my foot a few weeks ago. Usually I’m really good at shrugging off injuries, but this minor fracture is the variety that can’t be ignored.

wonderful appreciation for something else I previously ignored: really great handrails. As far as handrails go, I have reasonable confidence that the centre is home to some of Vernon’s best. See for yourself (broken bones not required) when you attend these next few events: The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra is back at the Performing Arts Centre tonight for their performance of Titans. Welcoming dual-discipline soloist Jonathan Chan to the stage, the program includes Liszt’s Hungarian Fantasy and Bruch’s Concerto in G Minor. There is a preconcert talk in the Marie Fleming Hall start-
ing at 6 p.m., and the concert starts in the main auditorium at 7 p.m. Tickets are still available online at www.ticketseller.ca or at the door after 6 p.m. This Thursday night, comedian Brent Butt is on stage at the Performing Arts Centre for his one man show, Up Close and Personal. He’s the creator and star of the wildly popular Corner Gas, where his clean and relaxed comedic style garnered national attention. He continues to tour the country with his storytelling prowess, delighting audiences along the way. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are still available
through the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469). On May 17 at 2 p.m., Chorfest 2015 presents their public concert at the Performing Arts Centre. Chorfest is a celebration of song held every year by the B.C. Choral Federation. Singers from all over the province are participating in workshops throughout Vernon from May 15 to 17 and the public concert showcases these works and culminates in a mass choir on stage for the final two numbers. Admission is by donation and the doors open at 1 p.m. so plan to arrive early to get a good seat.

Artists reveal Myths and Truths Morning Star Staff
Members of the North Okanagan chapter of the Canadian Federation of Artists have just opened their juried exhibition in the Coatcheck Gallery at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Entitled Myths and Truths, the exhibition features both abstract and representational pieces by chapter members. “Myths can be visual stories, paintings that tell a tale in an abstract or nonrepresentational way, (while) truth(s) is that which conforms to reality, fact, or actuality, paintings that depict realism,
people, places and things that exist and are tangible,” reads a statement about the show. Joyce Upex’s The Old Sentinel was selected as jurors’ choice for the exhibition. Myths and Truths opens with a reception at the Coatcheck Gallery, located in the lower lobby of the Performing Arts Centre, Monday from 4:30 to 6 p.m., where the public can enjoy refreshments and meet the artists. The show is on view until July 6 during performances at the centre.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP IAN JOHNSTONE
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Celiac’s disease is a clinical condition where gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) damages the surface of the intestinal walls so it can’t absorb nutrients from food. Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, cramps, and irritability. Eliminating all foods containing gluten proteins will relieve symptoms if the problem is truly celiac’s disease. There has been an increase in gluten-intolerance during the past few years and more people seem to be adopting a gluten-free diet to reduce the symptoms mentioned above. However, these symptoms can be caused by other medical problems. Check with your doctor to determine the real cause of the problems. During the past five years, the number of teens using tanning parlours has dropped significantly. Perhaps it’s due to fact that the World Health Organization in 2009 openly declared that tanning devices caused cancer. As well, several well-designed studies have shown that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer. The idea of poly-pills has been around for about a decade. It’s a pill that combines 3-6 drugs into one pill. It contains a cholesterol-lowering drug, ASA, one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s designed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and second heart attacks. This idea is not a reality yet. There are a number of research studies being done around the world but no pollypill is forthcoming. We have access to the latest in drug research from around the world. When a new drug becomes available, you can be sure we will know all about it.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder A TOUGH DISCARD EVEN TO CONSIDER James Whistler said, “If other people are going to talk, conversation becomes impossible.” If other bridge players are distracting you by talking, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to think of the best play. Our final deal in this series on discarding is the hardest of all. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest club. Assuming South holds up his ace until the third round of the suit, how can the defenders obtain a topic of conversation for years to come?
South has seven top tricks: two spades, three hearts, one diamond and one club. He hopes to establish his diamond suit for the loss of only one trick and either find clubs 4-4 or keep West off the lead while setting up his diamond suit. Suppose East discards the heart two on the third club. Declarer plays a spade to dummy and returns a low diamond. If East plays low, South wins with his ace and leads a second round. Alternatively, if East puts up his diamond king, declarer plays low from his hand, then cashes the diamond ace next. In both cases, South ends with an overtrick.
What is the answer? On the third club, East must discard his diamond king! Then West will gain the lead with his diamond queen to run his clubs. Yes, that is a tough play to find, but note that if South has the acequeen of diamonds, East’s king is powerless.

Marion Frances Martin (Dalgleish)
David Terrence (Terry) McAllister
April 30, 1912 - April 19, 2015
passed away May 2, 2015, with his beloved wife Ruth by his side. Terry was born in Vernon to James and Ada in 1931 and lived most of his life in the Lumby and Coldstream area. He leaves behind, Ruth, and their children: Brenda (Brian), Laurie (Jim), Jeff (Leah), and Brian (Lisa); grandchildren: Christopher (and his father Lester), Bradley, and Sydney, Kaleigh, Cameron (and their mother Carol); sisters: Eileen and Beryl; inlaws: June, Frank, Glenn and Alva; and his muchloved nieces, nephews, and friends. He was also, importantly, “second dad” to Donna and George, and “second grandpa” to Tristan, Kennedy, Lily, and Brady. Terry was pre-deceased by his dear son Bruce, his parents, brothers Barnard and John, and many long-time friends. Terry was a brilliant man of many talents, with a dedication to helping all family and friends with whatever they needed fixed or built. He had a passion for invention and anything mechanical, and a deep appreciation for his family’s pioneer roots and local history. He was also always very interested in the latest activities and accomplishments of all his family, their friends, and everyone else he knew. The family wishes to give a special thanks to Dad’s friend, Chuck, for all his help the last while, and all the nurses of the 2ND floor of V.J.H. and Hospice House, for all their compassionate care. Terry’s friends and extended family are invited to attend a relaxed celebration of his life on Saturday, May 23, 2015 from 2:00 to 4:30 pm at the Women’s Institute Hall in Coldstream. In lieu of flowers, a donation to North Okanagan Hospice Society would be greatly appreciated. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333.

What a wonderful life! At 102 years of age, Marion passed away in Vernon, BC with her son and daughter by her side. In 1930 Marion left her birthplace Grandview, Manitoba to move west to Vancouver. She attended Sprott Shaw Business School and following that, worked 8 years as a secretary for an insurance company. She met and married her husband Don in 1940. They resided in Vancouver, New Westminster, Boundary Bay and Ladner. From a farm girl in Manitoba to a wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, widow, great grandmother and special friend she transitioned from the horse and buggy to the age of technology. She thought it time to tackle the computer at age 90! Her passions were family, music, flowers, a glass of wine and always a box of Purdy’s Chocolates! Marion had a terrific sense of humor. She encouraged those around her to have fun, have a good laugh, be kind, grateful and appreciative. Marion was surrounded by love and friendship.The family would like to acknowledge the staff at Orchard Valley, Westridge and Heron Grove who enriched and took such good care of and interest in her. Thanks as well to her special caregivers and companions, Mabel Hutchinson and Carolyn Maclaine. She enjoyed you girls so much. Dr. Murphy’s wonderful sense of humor was a great fit for Marion. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were a constant source of joy for her. Hats off to all of you! She was predeceased by her husband Don in 1997, her 3 fabulous Dalgleish sisters, Dorothy, Naomi and Agnes as well as Vern Newell a very special companion she called her pal. The immediate family, daughter Jean Steele (Gordon), son John Martin (Joy), grandchildren Marty Steele (Bridget), Keri Steele, Daniel Joughin (Marria), Simon Martin-Joughin (Sophie), Maya Dalgleish Gaubin, several nieces and nephews plus the 7 “greats” celebrate the special person they have so many wonderful memories of. In the summer, the family will have a private garden party in honor of Marion. Those wishing to make a contribution in memory of Marion may send then online or to: Heart and Stoke Fund of BC and Yukon, 200-1212 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V2 or BC Lung Association, 2675 Oak Street, Vancouver, BC V6H 2K2 Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155.

It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to our mother Ruth Elizabeth Andrews who passed away at Hospice House in Vernon BC on May 7, 2015. Mom was born to Henry and Caroline Edelman in Herbert Saskatchewan on November 6, 1924, the second youngest of eight children. When mom was very young the family moved to Peace River Alberta and settled into farming life in the Smoky River Valley. Mom joined the CWAC (Canadian Women’s Army Corp) during WW11 and after discharge, worked as a secretary until her marriage to Tom Andrews in Peace River on November 8, 1947. Mom and dad farmed in the Judah area until 1967 when they moved with their seven children to the family farm in Lumby BC. Mom spent many enjoyable hours on horseback driving the cattle herd to the range and enjoyed listening to the ‘boys’ talk farming at the kitchen table when she could no longer actively farm. Gardening and fresh air were a few of her favorite things. Mom was predeceased by her brothers and sisters and by our dad who passed away in October 1999. She is survived by her seven: children Bob (Jo Ann) of West Kelowna, Pam (JIm Massey) of Kamloops, Gary (Debi) of Lumby, Bev (Andy Charest) of Lumby, Murray (Lisa) of Lumby, Doug (Gisele) of Lavington and Sheila (Stu Guttormson) of Lumby and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by her younger brother George Edelman (Fran) of Ponoka, Alberta. No service by request. A Celebration of Life will be held later this summer with family and friends. Mom’s ashes will be joined with those of our dad and scattered in the hills where they drove their cattle herd by horseback to the range every year. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to North Okanagan Hospice Society

The provincial government is providing $850,000 to the Families Organized for Recognition and Care Equality Society. “With about one in eight young people in B.C. suffering from a mental-health challenge, this investment in the FORCE Society is helping families access valuable mental health supports, services and resources,” said Health Minister Terry Lake.
As part of its mandate to support families and children, the FORCE Society developed the Parent in Residence and Youth in Residence programs, in which parents and youth act as mentors and provide support based on their experience as a family with mental-health challenges. They help families navigate the child and youth mental-health system and point them to the resources available.
