A Vernon family remains anxious during escalating turmoil in a central African country. Ray and Mary Anne Bale, and their 11-year-old son Boss, have remained inside their home in Bujumbura as the military has attempted a coup against president Pierre Nkurunziza. “The airport and all borders are now closed, so we wait it out,” Ray Bale told The Morning Star. Violence broke out in Burundi more than a week ago when Nkurunziza attempted to seek a third term as president. However, the situation worsened as the military got directly involved. “There’s lots of shooting and explosions. We are OK but hunkered down for the moment,” said Ray. The violence has made it difficult for the Bales to not only leave their home but visit the 62 children they care for at an orphanage. “Sitting watching tracer fire over the city at present. It looks like there is fighting out by the airport. Still uncertain where this will all end but continuing to pray for peace in Burundi,” said Ray in a Facebook posting Wednesday. The Bales began working in Burundi in 1995 and the family moved there in 2002 to continue with their efforts through New Hope Centre and Vernon Christian Fellowship.

There will be students entering classrooms at Silver Creek Elementary in September after the School District 83 board voted against closing the school. The school, which currently has 36 students enrolled, had been proposed for closure as part of a long-term facilities plan due to low numbers and the need to reduce costs. Parents and school district staff rallied to prevent the shutdown, arguing in favour Debbie Evans of converting the school to a Montessori education model which they say, would boost student numbers and provide a new educational option for students in the school district. Another primary concern was the long bus ride either to Hillcrest Elementary or possibly Salmon Arm West. This would see some students on the bus for an hour and 15 minutes each way, or 30 hours per month. When it came to the vote, the majority of trustees opted to keep the school open, causing an eruption of applause and cheers from anxious parents in the audience. “I’m ecstatic,” said parent Kristy Clark. “If the school closed, it was going to be homeschooling, so keeping the doors open, this is the much better option. I’m thrilled.” Trustee Debbie Evans championed the efforts to keep the school open, her hands shaking and her voice breathless as she implored her fellow trustees to keep the school open. She noted the closure would reduce property values and fracture the entire community. “You can’t put rural schools in a cookie cutter,” she said. “If this is passed, we could lose not only the school but the library, the store, the fabric of rural life. We can not ignore that.” Trustees paid tribute to the parents and the Parent Advisory Council for showing them there were other options for Silver Creek than closure. “You came with a solution and that is heartwarming. You showed us how the community was working together. You were not complaining, instead you were telling us how great it could be,” said Bobbi Johnson, board chair. But other trustees warned the board that keeping the school open does have implications for the school district’s budget and services to the entire student population.

Building is booming in Coldstream. April saw construction sky rocket in the district, with a total of 22 permits issued, and 18 new applications received for processing. The same month last year saw just five perm i t s issued, with a value of $740,000. Whereas the April 2015 conBob Bibby s t r u c t i on value is more than $4 million. “Construction value to date is $11,815,067 compared to only $9,430,000 for 2014,” said Bob Bibby, Coldstream’s building official, in his report. Although the number of permits is up, it’s not all new homes. The April permits represent five single family dwellings, seven additions/renovations, six accessory buildings, two swimming pools and two other (one tram and one sprinkler system). “The number of housing units to date in 2015 is two less than the same period in 2014,” said Bibby, as there were 13 new units constructed in the first four months of 2014 and 11 so far this year.

News The Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan (CCMWP) are extending an invitation to all Greater Vernon water users to join them for a public forum on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. The CCMWP will offer an illustrated presentation highlighting the need to take a fresh new look at the direction of the current master water plan (MWP). “The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee (GVAC) continues to promote Duteau Creek as the main source for drinking water, but at the same time this treated water is used extensively for agricultural irrigation, resulting in the cost of residential water escalating to unacceptable levels,” said Terry Mooney of CCMWP. “Current domestic, commercial, agricultural and recreational water bills are unsustainable, are a disincentive to new business locating in our region, and are creating a hardship for the entire water user base. “The residents are now facing water bills that are three times the cost in Kelowna and twice the cost in Penticton.” The group says it has identified factors contributing to the excessive costs, which will be discussed

at the meeting. The group says preliminary data suggests that the original Master Water Plan was flawed, and that choosing Duteau Creek as its water source for Greater Vernon was a mistake. “There is significant evidence that water taken from Kalamalka Lake and Okanagan Lake would have been much less expensive, and today’s water rates would have been substantially different,” said Mooney. “Our group aims to ensure that the public will, as expressed by the Nov. 15 referendum, is upheld, and we are concerned that no alternative plan has been provided since the referendum defeat. It is noted that upgrades to the Duteau Creek facility continue in total disregard for the wishes of the Greater Vernon water users.”

Vehicles crossing a CP Rail right-of-way are creating safety issues in Enderby. Canadian Pacific, the City of Enderby and the Enderby RCMP are urging local residents to stop the practice of leaving or accessing Highway 97A by crossing CP property in the area of Bass Ave. and Brickyard Rd. “This practice, which takes place along the old Okanagan Subdivision, is not only trespassing on CP property but a serious public safety issue for those individuals electing to take this dangerous short-cut,” the announcement reads. CP, the City of Enderby and the B.C. Ministry of Transportation are taking steps to curb this activity. Enderby RCMP and the CP Police Service (CPPS) will be monitoring the area and will conduct enforcement accordingly under the Motor Vehicle Act as well as the B.C. Trespass Act. While CP no longer operates a rail line in this location, the property still belongs to the railway. Accessing this property is considered trespassing and people can be ticketed for these

activities. No trespassing signs are posted along the corridor.

Residents who see unsafe or illegal activity are urged to call the

Enderby RCMP at 250838-6818 or the CPPS at 1-800-716-9132.

Cost high to keep school open Continued from A1 Trustee Barry Chafe, who was the lone vote in favour of closing the

school, noted the budget keeping Silver Creek classrooms operating is “more than I’ve ever seen.”

“Every action has a reaction and keeping this school open, the consequences are just too high.”

This was echoed by trustee Michel Saab, who encouraged a complete review of the district’s educational philosophy. “Any time you increase in one area, it’s at the expense of another…If we are going to make it a priority to keep all the small rural schools open, we are going to also have to run a basic secondary, without all those options and services. And I wonder if we will see those same parents back here when their kids are in high school asking for those very services.” Evans made a motion to immediately begin moving Silver Creek Elementary to a Montessori model, with a three-year funding commitment to the program, however, this was not palatable to most trustees. Instead, a committee will be formed to evaluate the Montessori option at Silver Creek, and to consider converting the school to a K-Grade 8 model in an effort to boost enrolment and offer a different option to students than Shuswap Middle School. The committee is to report back in February 2016. In addition to the Silver Creek closure, trustees also dealt with four other recommendations from the longterm facilities plan. They agreed to

do away with a plan to convert Parkview Elementary School in Sicamous to the K-Grade 5 model and put Grade 6 and 7 students into Eagle River Secondary. Instead, as was the consensus among Sicamous parents at the public information meeting, the board will review options to convert one of the Sicamous schools into a K-12 configuration. “We know things can not stay as they are. There is optimism that Sicamous can do anything, just give us some time,” said Chafe. Trustees also unanimously supported motions to add Grade 8 to North Shuswap and Falkland schools, which were both currently operating under a K-Grade 7 structure. This would save busing costs and also allow students to transition straight to high school rather than spending one year at a middle school before moving to the senior secondary. A proposed change to make Ranchero Elementary a K-Grade 5 school was put on hold, and any changes will be reconsidered for 2016 and beyond as part of the Enderbyarea recommendations. “We need to do some more work on Ranchero, so I think the best thing is to keep it K-7 for September,” said Johnson.

Fire restriction on Morning Star Staff

Vernon residents are restricted, as of noon today, to the size of fire they can have in order to prevent wildfires and protect the public. Currently, the fire danger rating ranges from moderate to high, with some areas already rated extreme. Since April 1, Kamloops Fire Centre crews have responded to 26 wildfire incidents. All of them were human caused. Therefore a ban of fires larger than 50 centimetres will remain in effect until Oct. 15 or until further notice.

The city also contributes two large Canadian flags, placed in trees near the bandshell. Security for the event is provided by the RCMP, City of Vernon bylaw officers and ambulance personnel. Coun.

The City of Vernon will continue to contribute to a Canada Day party, although the fate of a fireworks display on July 1 remains undecided. Vernon’s Canada Day committee sought, and received, contributions of cash, insurance coverage for volunteers and in-kind services for the annual July 1 party in Polson Park. “It’s a family event, free for everyone with lots of kids activities, entertainment and a Canada Day cake,” said committee spokesperson Ken Barker, who requested $1,000 from the city.

A three-vehicle accident on Highway 6 Tuesday afternoon resulted in a pair of children being taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for observation. The accident happened at Highway 6 and 15th Street shortly after 3 p.m. “When police arrived they were able to speak to the three drivers and witnesses to determine what happened,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The female driver of a grey Honda Accord was facing east and turning left from the highway onto 15th street on a green light and collided into an oncoming vehicle, a blue Volvo, that was driving west on the highway going through the green light. The female driver of the Volvo attempted to avoid the collision by swerving to the right, but clipped the front of the Honda. “It then crashed into the (traffic) light post,” said Molendyk. “This vehicle spun around and collided with a grey Chevy Silverado that was behind the Honda in the turning lane.” Witnesses told police the driver of the Honda turned into the Volvo. Two passengers of the Volvo, aged nine and 12, were all transported to hospital to be checked out. The investigating officer issued a violation ticket to the driver of the Honda for failing to yield on a left turn.

tion to provide the $1,000, have volunteers covered under the city’s insurance and liability coverage and to continue the city’s in-kind services contribution, which was unanimously supported. There could also be one new event added to Canada Day festivities in the park. “We are hoping to add a Sun Valley Cruisers Show and Shine Car Show in the oval,” said Barker, who also requested that, if the car show is a go, the city does not water the oval two days before July 1 to help prevent any damage to the cars. “We can inform staff of that request,” said Mayor Akbal Mund.

ou, dear readers, may not be aware, but there are a few significant anniversaries going on around here at The Morning Star. Not only is it 15 years since I stepped through these doors as a lowly intern, one of my colleagues is celebrating his 25th year of working for this publication, which itself is only 27 years old. That’s a quarter century of deadlines, phone calls, council meetings, pushing paper, clicking a mouse, pounding a keyboard, writing under pressure, yelling at your computer, headaches, shaking hands, taking photos, more headaches, Kristin Froneman a few thank yous, and the odd complaint. Actually, nix 25 years, that’s just the typical day for a community reporter. Dealing with all the craziness of putting out a newspaper to print three times a week - plus all the extra work of keeping up with the times, that being digital media with the immediacy of the news, could be considered a thankless task. Let’s be honest, newspapers are not those glorious bastions of facts and figures, filled with ongoing investigative reports, page-long features and poignant photo essays that they once were (although, personally speaking, I think we put in a pretty darn, good effort here at The Morning Star). In my 15 years here, and for the eight or so years I spent as a photographer on Vancouver Island, I’ve noticed this business change significantly, some for the good, some for the bad. Papers have been closing, newsrooms are shrinking, space is always at a premium, and the glory days of going out for a day-long interview (or even a meet and greet with the public) are less and less. Everything needs to be done right away, hence, I find myself on my computer or phone more often. The news now needs to be posted to the web, on Twitter and Facebook, before it’s scooped by the next guy, after all. Time is money. People are busy. News is reactionary – just look at the comments people

post online nowadays. It’s very different from that long diatribe known as a letter to the editor (which we still print, by the way). We have become lost a little as a society, where if we used to have a problem with a neighbour, a politician, or even our boss, we would approach him or her eye to eye to air out our grievances, or at least write our name and address at the end of a handwritten letter. Now it’s done with a terse e-mail or snide remark on social media, often anonymously on some sites, and that’s no more apparent than on some high-profile newspaper websites (just look at the comments section on some sites if you need an example – Yikes!) But, hey, there are some good things to come out of the modern age of newspapers – the tools of the trade being the most significant. I was the photographer/darkroom tech at four different publications back in the ‘90s and I do not miss developing film. Although I still love to see photos in print, especially in black and white, I do not miss the smell of darkroom chemicals, or having to constantly replace my clothes from stains caused by those chemicals. Yes, say what you will, but the digital camera and PhotoShop are a journalist’s friend. I no longer have to worry that the negatives are going to come out glued together, or discover the photos are under or over-exposed. I can find out that info at the press of the replay button on my camera. Research and editing have also become significantly easier. Before we had that information at our fingertips, we had to actually pick up a book – you know those things called encyclopedias, dictionaries, or for those in the business, the Bible referred to as the Canadian Press Style Book and Caps and Spelling. Now we have Google, Wikipedia, and Spell Check, but for anyone who has ever spelled public as “pubic” you know Spell Check ain’t gonna help you that much. In other words, we can’t rely on our computers to tell us everything. Eyes and brains are still necessary. So as I ponder the next 15 years in this business, I wonder what’s ahead as we continue to weave through the information highway. It’s up to you, dear readers, to keep reading and support your community newspaper.

RCMP officers, conservation officers, natural resource officers and park rangers want everyone to have a safe and fun holiday, so they’ll be ramping up patrols over the May long weekend. Along with increased traffic enforcement, patrols will be increased over the long weekend, with enhanced enforcement aimed at recreation sites, backcountry access, angling, boat safety and illegal hunting. Enforcement will also focus on environment, fish and wildlife regulations, as well as policies related to the use of parks, conservancy areas and recreation areas. The increased presence of conservation officers and the RCMP in these areas will help ensure public safety and help protect sensitive ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. The provincial high-risk driving blitz starts today and then on Saturday there is impaired driving enforcement. “These are just two of the ongoing enforcement campaigns that traffic services units across the province engage in over the weekend to reduce fatal and serious injury collisions on B.C. roads,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Over the May long weekend, on average two people are killed and 490 are injured in crashes throughout B.C. every year. In the Southern Interior alone there are an average 68 people injured in 260 crashes. So whether you’re sticking around town, heading to another community or to the great outdoors, everyone is urged to avoid high-risk driving behaviours that increase your risk of crashing and endangering everyone on the roads. Having fun doesn’t have to be dangerous. Stay safe and arrive alive.

Investing in our children

he week of May 10-17 has been selected as a Week of Action for Child Care. We know that 75 per cent of mothers in Canada with children under the age of six are in the paid workforce – part-time or full-time. Two parent families are finding it more and more difficult to meet the needs of their families on a single income and there are many lone parent families who struggle to provide for their children. We also know that one in five children in B.C. lives in poverty and that one in three children in B.C. arrive at kindergarten vulnerable in one or more areas of development as measured on the Early Development Instrument administered provincially. These issues are of concern to all members of society, not just those with young children. Whatever our political preferences, most Canadians have supported the idea of public funding for health care, education and social services of some description. We are happy to pay taxes for children to attend school from kindergarten to Grade 12 whether we have children or not. We subsidize university education through our tax system. We certainly provide health care for all ages, and very much so for our senior citizens. Yet when we talk about publicly funded

LIFETIME MEMORIES The ski season is over, but the memories of skiing with my family will be forever etched in my memory. It was a beautiful day of spring skiing as I embarked on the slowest run of my life, but that didn’t bother me at all. My eyes filled with tears as I watched my 10 year old daughter, Shae, skiing on her own! To see your child engaged in a sport you love and feel pride is an experience that many parents treasure. But this was different. Shae has an Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as a Developmental Coordination Disorder. She has very little core strength and her gross and fine motor skills are lacking. She is also prone to meltdowns related to sensory and communication issues. So to be able to ski on her own (and enjoy doing it) is no small feat. The people who made this possible are the wonderful volunteers at Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports (SSASS). Shae has been skiing with them for the past four years. There were times that I thought she would never ski independently, let alone like it. The volunteers that have worked with Shae over the years have

child care, people often expect families to shoulder that huge expense alone. Today’s young families are called “Generation Squeeze,” a generation with huge student loan debt, high housing costs, exorbitant child care costs and faced with supporting their aging parents as well. Child care is both economically and socially a sound investment in society. We often lament the fact that people collect social assistance and don’t work, but when we ask that we publicly fund child shown great patience, understanding, respect and fondness. The joy on their faces as they would tell us of Shae’s accomplishments was beautiful to see. She wasn’t always full of love and light. Many times she would melt down and refuse to ski. There was never a hint of frustration, no harsh words. Instead they would take her inside for a hot chocolate and try again. April was Autism Awareness Month and SSASS is just one of many organizations in Vernon that provides opportunities for kids on the Autism Spectrum to have a go at a sport they may not have been able to manage in a regular program. SSASS teaches and assists persons with disabilities to ski and snowboard at Silver Star Mountain Resort. It is entirely volunteer run. Students are persons of all ages and with a wide range of disabilities. Special thanks to the program coordinators and all of the volunteers who make skiing and snowboarding possible for kids and adults with varying challenges. I look forward to many seasons as a part of the SSASS program. Kerry Vance

care so that families can work and invest in their family’s future, we sometimes have a hard time seeing this as an important investment. The return on investment in a publicly funded child care system is huge. Economists have quoted up to a 254 per cent return on investment. Child care not only helps families to work and participate in higher education, it provides young children at the most important stage of their brain development with quality early HOSPITAL LAUNDRY Interior Health Authority (IHA) is considering closing down the hospital laundry in our community and 10 others throughout the region. If this proceeds, it will mean 18 family supporting jobs in our community will be eliminated and 175 across IHA. This work will move to either the Lower Mainland or Alberta. Interior Health acknowledges that the hospital laundry is an efficient service. So why is this happening? The provincial government has chosen to not make a modest investment over the next decade to upgrade or replace the equipment needed to continue to do the job and further improve service efficiency. Considering the cost of 175 lost jobs, it is difficult to understand how this could be a good deal for the people living in our communities. Please show your support by visiting: https:// www.facebook.com/KeepLaundryPublic. Wes Fitzsimmons

experiences that lay the foundation for all the years that follow. Quality child care has been shown to support school readiness, increased graduation rates, lower incidences of involvement in the criminal justice system, higher attachment to the workforce and better lifelong health outcomes. We are asking that all citizens investigate the possibility of a national child care plan, the benefits this will have to society, the real outcomes that will result for the various parties’ platforms and consider carefully voting for child care in the upcoming federal election. In B.C. we are promoting a $10/day child care plan and federally all the major parties have developed different approaches to solving the child care crisis in our country. Putting a few extra dollars into people’s pockets is not the answer – we need to build a system that works for all families. It is important to closely analyze who benefits the most from each approach and ensure that our families and young children are supported to ensure a strong and sustainable economy and children who are prepared to be active, engaged and productive citizens.

Gold panning champs converge JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Enderby is going for gold this weekend. The B.C. Open Gold Panning Championships return to Enderby today through Sunday at Riverside Park. The family-fun orientated weekend is filled from morning to night with games and entertainment for all ages. And it’s an event that draws people from near and far. “I expect to have people from Alberta show up also for competitions,” said Donna Smith of the Vernon Placer Mining Club, whose members will be in

The public is invited out both Saturday and Sunday morning in the gazebo for pancake breakfasts put on by the Lions Club. Then metal detecting in the daylight begins at 9 a.m. Saturday before the competitions and games for one and all get underway. “It is a family kind of event, with different categories and ages. All our game prizes are small gold nuggets,” said Smith. There will also be a raffle (just $1 a

ticket) for a half ounce gold nugget. Bannock baking takes place Saturday evening, followed by live music in a jam session. “Some of the games are claim staking, pan toss, and gold rush,” said Smith. Elimination rounds go Sunday with trophies and other prizes in the draw. Regular draws are at 3 p.m. and competition trophies are given out, then the nugget draw is at 4 p.m. For more information visit www. vernongoldpanning.com/gold-panningchampionships or email mrspumpkin36@ hotmail.com

New faces join chamber

Morning Star Staff

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has bolstered its board. Two new directors have been appointed to the board: Geordie McLennan, branch manager with Western Financial Group; and Phil Dyck, owner of Okanagan McLennan Real Estate Investments. “I believe we have a lot to look forward to in growing the organization,” said McLennan, who spent a number of years on the Dyck board for the Fort Nelson Chamber of Commerce. “I’ve been impressed by the work of the chamber both here in

Vernon and across the province and I look forward to working with our members to ensure the North Okanagan has a strong economic foundation.” GVCC president Jaron Chasca welcomed the two new faces at the board table. “Their professional experience combined with their community work, makes them a great addition to the board,” said Chasca. As appointees to the board they will serve until the end of the current year but will be eligible to run again in the elections slated for the end of September as part of the chamber’s AGM. In bringing on two new volunteers to the board, the chamber also bid farewell to past president Ingrid Dilschneider. After many years on the chamber board, Dilschneider, who is the current director for business development with Wesbild Okanagan, has stepped down to concentrate on the ever growing business at Predator Ridge.

Falkland is ready to throw open the gates. The 97th annual Falkland Stampede is expected to attract upwards of 5,000 people Saturday through Monday. “We have one of the best rodeos in Canada,” said Jason Churchill, stampede manager. “I have been to some rodeos and there’s a real lax atmosphere, but in Falkland, people love coming out and having fun.” About 300 cowboys could compete for $40,000 to $50,000 in prize money. “They have been sitting at home all winter and itching to get outdoors and do what they love doing best,” said Churchill. In saddle bronc, Kyle Bowers, Jim Berry, and Todd Herzog are expected to be here, along with bull riders Stephen Turner, Kyle Thompson and Ty Elliott. The rodeo starts at 1 p.m. each day, and there will be a heavy horse pull Monday at 10 a.m. The bucking stock is supplied by Northcott Rodeo, with Les McIntyre, one of Canada’s top rodeo announcers, doing the show. Beyond that, look for a cowboy church service at 11 a.m. Sunday, the parade at 1 p.m. Sunday, dances Saturday and Sunday nights, a beverage garden and pancake breakfasts all three mornings. Horse trainer Doug Mills will be on scene Saturday at 11 a.m. and there are mini-chuckwagon races each day. And at the hockey rink, the Trade Expo runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. all three days. “This is the second year for it and it will be bigger and better,” said Churchill. Alpine Helicopters will also be providing tours of the area. With Falkland’s population only being about 1,000, it’s all hands on deck during the stampede. “We feel fortunate to be able to continue due to the ongoing dedicated work of our volunteers, the support from our rodeo fans, and our sponsors,” sad Ozzie Leaf, a long-time volunteer. “We have former residents who come back to their home town on that weekend, and enjoy helping out, and keeping the tradition going.” Much of the money raised during the stampede, including at concession booths run by local charities, goes right back into the community to support various programs. “It’s our main fundraiser,” said Churchill. Tickets at the gate are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students and children under six are free. A family pass is $45 and a three-day pass is $40 for adults and $30 for seniors.

Hall urges wildfire caution Jennifer Smith

Morning Star Staff

Living in an area that has one of the highest risks for interface fires in the North Okanagan, BX and Silver Star residents are urged to take caution. “The biggest threat would be the BX Creek area to Silver Star,” said Bill Wacey, BX-Swan Lake fire chief. “There are hundreds of homes up Silver Star Road.” With only one-way in and one-way out for the majority of residents, a wildfire could be devastating in the area. Which is why, in celebration of National Wildfire Preparedness Day, residents are urged to do what they can to mitigate the risk. “Remove branches that are down right on the ground level, cut and pull the brush away from the house,” urges Wacey. But in the event that an interface fire were to take place, BX-Swan Lake Fire Rescue is the best prepared in the region to respond. The department owns a sprinkler protection unit – a trailer which can be deployed to set up sprinklers to protect homes in an interface fire. “We have enough protection in the trailer to do up to 20 homes,” said Wacey. It’s a unique piece of equipment, and the first in the North Okanagan. “There’s very few of them in the Southern Interior,” said Wacey, who runs one of only three. “It’s another really good tool to have in the tool box.” Purchased in 2012, the unit hasn’t been needed locally, yet. But it has been lent out to other departments, such as Williams Lake last year. And the result of having such a unit on-hand can make a drastic difference, according to Wacey, who is also the structure protection supervisor with Emergency Management B.C. “I’ve seen these trailers do fabulous things.” He recalls a rank 6 fire which he attended to set up a similar sprinkler protection unit at, but with little hope that it would do much to protect the structure in the area considering the intensity of the blaze. “We didn’t expect anything to be left,” said Wacey, who returned the next morning to see an area devastated by fire with the only remaining greenspace being that around the cabin, where the sprinklers were set up. The unit at the BX-Swan Lake fire hall is available for other department’s to use. And considering there

haven’t been any major fires in the region for a while, it is a possibility that the unit will get some use this year. “We are long overdue,” said Wacey, adding that it has been a drier spring than normal, which only increases the risk. Meanwhile, there will be a storm of activity brewing at the BX fire department this year. Construction is expected to begin at the end of May for the addition to the 40-year-old building. Two new truck bays, four offices and a secondstorey meeting room/training space will be added with the 3,500 square foot addition. “There’s very much a lack of training space/classroom space for us,” said Wacey of the existing structure. The hall will remain fully operational, with the existing bays intact, but office and meeting space will be moved into a trailer. The project is anticipated to be completed sometime near the end of the year.

Vernon District Baseball Association hopes to raise money for an indoor cage which could be used in the winter. “Our kids go to Kelowna during the development season which is September to March. We want them to become better players at home.”

Baseball recently received a $5,000 grant from the Funtastic Sports Society and are now asking for businesses and other service clubs to help them reach

their goal. Those wishing to support local baseball can call Batchelor at 250.540.7269 or e-mail him at:president@vernonbaseball.com.

Major Leaguers maintain their milliondollar swings daily in batting cages at stadiums throughout North America. Vernon and District Baseball players and coaches get steady use of two outside cages in the warm-weather months, and hope to add an indoor cage by September. Estimates range around $70,000 and the baseball association has $30,000 of its own money. They are asking for help. “We used to have a great partnership with parks and rec and local government,” said Mark Batchelor, in his seventh year as baseball president. “Unfortunately, due to cutbacks, that money has dried up. Parks and rec built our two batting cages and we are very appreciative of their work.” Minor baseball numbers are on the rise, with 391 players from T-ball to Midget AAA this season. Vernon’s registration totals are second in the Interior behind Kamloops. “We will be the primary user, but it will be open to any groups, with adult supervision,” said Batchelor. “The senior men’s team and softball teams will be welcome to use the indoor cage. It will be a public facility where you reserve time.” Batchelor said Vernon baseball will monitor usage by having bookings done on their website. Outdoor cages at Creekside Park and Marshall Field are used nightly. The proposed indoor cage will go adjacent to the Marshall cage. “The design calls for a basic building with modest heating and lighting,” said Batchelor. “It will be similar to the one Kelowna has at Elks Stadium.” The cage will allow for a hitter facing pitches from a machine on one side and a pitcher throwing to a live catcher on the other side.

Conlin converts Morning Star Staff

Veteran Brad Conlin figures The Beatles may have still been together last time he scored in men’s soccer. The stocky, shifty midfielder felt like a rock star Wednesday night after he buried a penalty kick top cheddar in the 15th minute at MacDonald Park. The goal stood as the winner as Peters Tirecraft rolled over Salmon Arm Nation of Domination Eagle Homes 4-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League action. Conlin – named the Old Milwaukee Man of the Match – converted the spot shot after striker Andy Collins was pulled down inside the 18, giving Tirecraft their first lead of the season. He was urged by his son, Mike, to take the PK. Chase Kwak made it 2-0 off a corner that rattled around in the box for a moment before he finished it off. Defender Justin Mitchell connected on a late penalty kick and Christian Demilleville buried the fourth on a beautiful tic-tac-toe play involving Mitchell and Kyle Richardson. Gavin Opp and Rob Spraggs shared the shutout. The North Enderby Timber lassoed the Salmon Arm Outlaws 3-1 at Blackburn Park. Patrick Schindler, Mo Singogo and a beauty one-timer by Bryndon Buckham, produced goals for the 5-0 Timber. Fabrice Fanfani supplied two assists in support of keeper Danny Stein. The Revelstoke Stallions clipped Turn-Key Controls 2-1 at Jackson Park in Salmon Arm. Playing on neutral ground with new league scheduling this year, Turn-Key came out blazing, using the wings to generate many chances in the first 15 minutes and controlling the play. Despite the early edge in play, Revelstoke opened the scoring on a penalty kick. Turn-Key responded quickly when Evan Moore launched a free kick from distance that missed the head of Preston Tucker but took a hop on the Revelstoke keeper for the equalizer going into half. Tucker took the Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match for Turn-Key as he battled through an early first half elbow that left him looking like a fighter in round 10 of a scrap with a swollen and bruised right eye. Revelstoke netted the winner in the 65th minute when they beat the Turn-Key offside trap on a close call. Rick Raber set up both goals as the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels shaded the North Country Appraisals Kickers 2-1 in Capri Insurance 45+ play Monday night.

The Humpbacks moved into sole possession of first place at 4-0-1 since Penticton United clipped Brown Benefits 2-1 at Kings Park. United and Browns are one point back of the Camels. Eric Ladner struck the Kickers’ crossbar three minutes in and Johnny Orton buried a feed from Raber 17 minutes later after rushing through the middle of the Kickers’ back four. Roradrunner Zane Klym made it 2-0 on a breakaway after a pass from Raber. Steve Reston buried an all-planet 20-yard free kick for the Kickers (2-2). Orton and Gord Howard botched a 2-on-0 in the second half with Orton sailing the ball over the net with his shin. Raber took the World Fishing Network Man of the Match. The Silver Stars used a deuce from super striker John Matejicka to stop Sunshine Pools 4-1. Matejicka opened the scoring by putting in a rebound after a wild swing and a miss by Dave Howes. Matejicka made it two in a row, pouncing on another rebound. Mike Bertoia made it 2-1 before Nigel Clack’s free kick found big Bill Graham’s head. Graham nodded the ball into the path of Ian Murphy who put the Stars up 3-1. Howes, with a wonderful free kick from just inside the half, fooled Chris Turbitt to finish the scoring. Defender Brett Bandy prevented two sure goals to take the Fabutan Salons Man of the Match. Kelowna RPM Automotive brushed off LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Bosman Accounting 3-1 at City Park. Erick Burnet scored on a powerful shot Christian Demilleville of Peters Tirecraft controls the ball against Trevor from well outside the box, after shaking off Wallensteen of Eagle Homes in NOSL action Wednesday night at MacDonald Park. his RPM defender on the turn.

Junior Shamrocks hand Point head coaching post Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Junior B Shamrocks have shuffled their coaching staff. After being run by a four-man committee, the Shamrocks appointed Jim Point head coach on Wednesday. Chad Pieper will serve as assistant coach. The Shamrocks, who lost 12-9 to the South Okanagan Flames in Thompson-Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre, lost cocoaches Ryan Williamson and Ryan Nitchie due to work,

family and senior Shamrock commitments last week. Team president Jeff Hanley said the Shamrocks struggled during the offseason to sign a head coach. “We are looking for an experienced coach that is willing to commit more than just one year towards coaching the team,” said Hanley. “We are trying to shift the focus away from what we have had the last few years which is signing a new coach preseason and then focusing on winning the league championship.” “Both Jim and Chad have extensive lacrosse backgrounds

and have been involved with the Junior club right from the start this year. We expect to continue with the emphasis on team building and discipline for the remainder of the season and think the results will speak for themselves. “Team management is happy with the current coaching situation and feel confident that the boys will respond well to more of a singular unified voice coming from the bench.” Hanley believes the “one voice to lead” approach will better serve the Shamrocks. Armstrong is 1-4 and the Flames 3-3.

Seasons Sistas shut down Shuswap Merlot 2-0 in a North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division battle of cellar dwellers Tuesday night at Marshall Field #5. The Sistas (1-4) came out flying with a sweet short passing, controlled game and numerous opportunities. Dianne Neudorf just missed on a couple of break ins, and Andrea Zubot and Tammy Buick just failed to connect a few times as well,. Zubot broke the scoreless draw near the 24th minute with a nice cross from Neudorf and put the ball high over everyone, landing low corner past the Merlot keeper. Zubot returned the favour a few minutes later with a feed to a speedy Neudorf, whose low corker burst through the keeper’s hands. Players excelling for the Sistas were Buick, with her amazing wheels and tenacity even after celebrating her 50th birthday the day before, and Lynnelle Erbacker, Trista Bassett, and Melanee Skinner, who filed some super non-panic passes. The Amazing Bert Wonderstone Player of the Game was Sista central defender Dani Moffat, who provided big-time support for keeper Wendy Nadeau.

Garnett golden girl for Chick Kickers

Gold was out of their grasp, but not silver. The Lincoln Lanes bantam boys team of Drew Fiset, Ryan Sarantos, Alex Kazimer and Nolan Blaeser, and coached by Bob Dumont, finished second at the YBC Four Steps To Stardom National 5-Pin Bowling Finals in Oshawa. “The boys won 13 points out of 21 matches played to tie for second place with Quebec,” said Dumont. “They came on strong in the tiebreaker game and beat Quebec by 125 pins to secure the silver medal.” The gold was won by Manitoba. The bantam division is for bowlers aged eightto-10. Teams bowl off against each province three times, receiving a point for each win, and a halfpoint for a tie. The Lincoln Lanes quintet rolled seven games Day 1, winning four points and were sitting in fourth place. On Day 2, the Vernon boys won five points out of nine games and were tied for fourth. “The last day started with four wins, the fourth game won by a nail-biting one point,” said Dumont. “Then the boys lost the last game.” n Lincoln Lanes hosted its 14-team bowl finals, a three-game, pins over average tournament.

Vees finish off Thunderbirds at RBC Black Press Sportsd

The Penticton Vees’ powerplay struck often in a 5-2 win over the winless Soo Thunderbirds Thursday afternoon at the Royal Bank Cup in Portage la Prairie, Man. The Vees went 3-for-6 on the man advantage to finish the round-robin portion of the national junior A hockey championship at 3-1. Penticton is in the semifinals Saturday. Patrick Newell, named the BCHL’s player of the week, buried the winner on the powerplay at 6:23 of the second period. Newell had an easy tap in after Steen Cooper found Connor Chartier at the side of the net from the high slot. Chartier then spun around and dished a backhand pass cross crease to Newell. The Vees had tried the exact play earlier, but couldn’t finish. That goal also spelled the end of Culina, who made 20 saves and was relieved by Brian Kment at 3-0. The Vees opened the scoring at 7:28 of the first period when Cooper stole the puck off the stick of Owen Headrick and raced

into the Thunderbird zone with Headrick and Matt Busby in pursuit. Cooper went forehand to backhand and beat Culina. In the second frame, Gabe Bast and Demico Hannoun set up Newell for his first goal as he made a move, then fired a shot low blocker on Culina to make it 2-0. Trailing 3-0 and with seven minutes remaining in the period, Brett Jeffries got the Thunderbirds on the board beating Hunter Miska as the Vees failed to clear the puck from their zone. Early in the third period, Jeffries struck for his second goal at 1:28, but then the Vees got back on track following a time out. At 3:55, after taking a pass from Hannoun, Newell found Tyson Jost open in the slot and the young phenom scored top shelf on the powerplay. Dakota Conroy then made it 5-2 on the powerplay as he took a feed from Hannoun. The Melfort Mustangs met the Portage Terriers Thursday night. If the Mustangs lost, they would face the Vees and the Terriers would meet the Carleton Place Canadians of Ottawa.

Late heroics by Ava Wood gave the Blue Skittles a 2-2 draw with the Eliminators in Wendyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U9 girls play Saturday at Creekside Park. Amelia LaRose gave the purple shirts an early lead. Skittles Arwyn Thomas, Erica Lovelace, and Fianna Gough formed a defensive shell, allowing zero shots on goal for the rest of the half. In the 21st minute, Sophie Challen swept through a sea of purple and evened the score. To start the second half, the Eliminators laid siege to the Skittlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net, testing Lauren Cunningham with a flurry of shots. After Cunninghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth and finest stop â&#x20AC;&#x201C; flying to her left with fingertips outstretched â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the blue crew rallied. The next six shots came off the boots of Aida Dempsey, Madison Vranesic, and Jasmine Soon, all rebuffed by Eliminator backstop Peyton Trevelyan. With seven minutes to play, LaRose struck again out of a wild scramble in the Skittlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; box. In the waning moments, Emmah Pedersen set up Ava Wood, whose last-ditch shot was swallowed up by the keeper. Wood pounced on the ensuing goal kick, and belted the tying goal just before the final whistle.

IceBreakers suffer tough losses

The IceBreakers bowed 4-0 to the Bristow Accounting Celtics and then, playing with just seven players, fell 7-0 to the Whites, in U13 girls action. Kaylee Goodrich and Jennika Bobryk were solid up front as the Breakers played the Celtics. Alexandra Miller was stellar defensively and offensively moving the play up the sides, while Kate Lowe was an animal on defence, shutting down a lot of the fastbreaking Celtics. Jessica Grages and Jennika Bobryk shared the goalkeeping. Mackenzie Palm had the best game of her life running the entire field on attack and then hustling back to interrupt plays in the midfield and help clear balls on defence. Quita King volunteered to play keeper Sunday for the shortstaffed IceBreakers and she recorded

numerous saves and unleashed booming kicks. Ashley Wadsworth was bold on defence and helped move the play up the field, while Grages and Emily Broderick both had some excellent runs up front. The Printech Blue Prowlers fought the Blue Steel to a 2-2 draw in U13 boys action Friday on goals by Rory Campbell and Tage Kineshanko, with assists going to Conner Seehaver, Ben Molitwenik and Kineshanko. Isaiah Barnes and Chris Boyes made a couple of clutch open-field tackles, while Jack Riches was a rock all over the pitch for the Prowlers.

Molitwenik pushes Gold Prowlers

The Gold Prowlers considered take out, but dined on the Italian Kitchen Italians 5-1 in Sunday U13 boys action. Ben Molitwenik scored four times and set up Brad Cramer for another. Willem Gibson (3) Lucas Schuck and Conner Seehaver also produced assists.

Soon leads Cookie Monsters

In Royal LePage U12 boys action Saturday, the Cookie Monsters squeaked by the Rubber Duckies 1-0 on a goal by Quinn Soon. From the opening kickoff, Chris Bond barreled through a flotilla of Duckies for a chance on net. Striker Connor Strilchuk showed a nifty bit of sleight of foot to create another golden opportunity. Then Keaton Dick nearly bent a corner kick into the net. The Monsters finally broke the goose egg in the 27th minute when Soon took Dickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw-in and caught the Duckies flatfooted. Shimmying across the goalmouth, Soon tucked the ball into the open side. The Monsters did not sit on their lead in the second half. Ball pressure from Alex Embleton and Hayden Dick kept the Ducks pinned. Damian Glover, Evan Bush, Mason Wood, and Owen Sunderland took turns setting up strikes and launching their own, but Duck keeper Teja Sheldrake kept the hungry blue side from filling the net.

Vernon players help Okanagan Bantams Morning Star Staff

Three Vernon teenagers are racking up miles as they play baseball for the U15 Okanagan Bantam AAA Athletics based in Rutland. Chase Batchelor, Jaden Parsons and Zach Orchard are with the A’s, an independent prep/travel team with a 60-game schedule against high level competition in B.C., Alberta and the U.S. The A’s won three of four games against the North Shore Twins of Vancouver last weekend Game one required two extra innings and saw the A’s win 12-11. Down by two runs in the bottom of the seventh and again in the ninth, the host A’s rallied to tie and then win it. Parsons while 0-for-3, had an RBI groundout, drew two walks and scored a run. Batchelor was also 0-for-3, but was on base with a great at bat resulting in a walk, and made a strong back-handed play at second base. Orchard pitched two solid innings, and had a walk and run scored. The A’s mercied the Twins 13-2 in Game 2 Saturday with Orchard getting on base three times with a pair of singles and a walk and scoring three runs. Parsons was 2-for-2 and came around to score twice. Batchelor was a late inning defensive replacement in right field. Game 3 was a heart-breaking 8-7 loss as the Twins rallied in the sixth. Batchelor pitched one inning in relief, recording three outs, two on

strikeouts. Orchard was the hitting star going 2-for-3 with a single, triple and walk while scoring twice. He was stranded as the tying run at third in the bottom of the seventh. Parsons laid down a perfect sacrafice bunt in the first inning leading to the A’s first run. The final game Sunday saw the A’s win 4-2 with Parsons beating out an infield single and playing strong defence at second base. Meanwhile, the Vernon Canadians tied the Kelowna Cubs 2-2 in a nineinning Midget AAA game called due to darkness Wednesday night at Marshall Field. Brayden Damini pitched six innings, giving up one earned run, scattering three hits and striking out five. Dylan Emmons pitched the final 3 innings, allowing one unearned run and no hits while fanning four. Ethan Huizinga was 3-for-4 with one RBI, while Garner Chudyk smacked a double. Chris Riva was 1-for-3 with a single “It was a great game; we had the lead going into the final inning and made one error which ended up costing us the tying run,” said Vernon coach Ken Liefke. “Chris Riva made two outstanding plays at third base in the seventh inning to keep the game tied at two. We played an excellent game and a win would have been great but we’ll take the tie.” The C’s (3-15-1) get a break before visiting Richmond City and Vancouver Mounties May 23-24.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder FROM A 5-3 FIT TO A 4-4 FIT Richard Branson, of Virgin Atlantic Airways fame, said, “I think it’s quite great to set yourself a big challenge, and then you’ve got another reason for keeping fit.” That reminds me of the joke about the man who goes to his doctor for his annual checkup. After all of the tests, the doctor says that the man seems healthy, but asks what he does. “I play bridge.” “What else do you do?” “Nothing; I only play bridge.” “What do you do for exercise?” “I always sit East-West.” It is almost always better

to play in the 4-4 fit, not the 5-3 fit, because you have a good chance to get an extra trump trick by ruffing a loser in one hand or the other. And the 5-3 fit will usually deliver two discards. A 4-4 side suit can never provide a pitch. Here, four hearts looks in trouble, given the bad trump break, but it can be made if declarer is careful after West starts the defence with three rounds of diamonds. How? It would be easy to get careless after ruffing the third diamond by assuming a 3-2 trump break. If declarer immediately draws two rounds of trumps, here he goes down.

South should see these 10 tricks: five spades, three hearts, one club and the diamond ruff. At trick four, he should run the heart 10. Yes it loses, but East has no answer. Even if he tries the fourth diamond, South ruffs with his heart nine, draws trumps, and claims.

Randomly selected households in Lake Country will be receiving a 31-question community survey in the mail this week. “Residents’ input on programs and services offered by the District of Lake Country will help the municipality make important decisions on future community investment,” said community development manager Jamie McEwan. “The results of the community survey will also contribute to the district having a better understanding of the values and priorities of residents.” The deadline for returning the completed survey is May 29, and respondents to the mail survey will be entered in a draw to win one of three prizes: n $300 gift certificate to SECA Marine (for any product/service they offer); n $100 gift certificate to Route’s Grill; n $100 gift certificate to L’Isola Bella Italian Restaurant. The aim of the consultant, Discovery Research Ltd., is to receive at least 400 surveys from residents to include within the random sample, which will provide statistically valid data to help inform some future decisions of the district. In addition to the random sample, surveys will be available online and at municipal hall should any resident that doesn’t receive a mail survey wish to provide their feedback. Results will be presented to council in June. “Council often gets the opportunity to hear from the community on very specific current issues, but in developing the 2015 Community Survey, it was important to them that it be kept concise yet broad enough to elicit feedback on a number of issues from roadways and transportation to recreational programs and facilities,” said McEwan.

It’s all about the treble for this choir

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

The human voice is being celebrated this weekend as choral singers, choir leaders and clinicians from around the province file into Vernon for the B.C. Choral Federation’s annual Chorfest. Those participating in the singing convention, which includes a massed choir concert Sunday afternoon at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, may want to stick around for another week, as one of Canada’s and the world’s most celebrated female choirs is coming to town. Elektra Women’s Choir performs the last concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s 2014-2015 season, May 23 at the Performing Arts Centre. The Morning Star recently spoke to Elektra’s director/conductor Morna Edmundson about her 28-year involvement in the choir, and some of her favourite songs for female voice. MS: I was lucky enough to interview the late Diane Loomer (Elektra’s former artistic director who co-founded the choir with Edmundson) when she brought her men’s choir, Chor Leoni, to Vernon a few years before her death (in 2012). How was it for you to fit into her role as artistic director? ME: We co-conducted the choir for 22 years before I became artistic director. This happened around 2009 when she decided to do one less thing. We had that conversation a few times, but this time she said she really needed to (step down). Her last concert with Elektra was in the spring in 2009. The choir was so used to both of us, it was an easy transition. MS: How does one audition for Elektra, or do you pool your resources from other female choirs? ME: A typical Elektra singer has lots of experience: Some have music degrees, can read music, and are experienced singers. Some are a pharmacist or a teacher and want to sing. They have to audition. You usually know something about a person when they join a choir. They

It’s a wonderful community. If you talk to anyone involved in a choir, it’s like a garden, a place where people can strive. We try to make it like that. It’s our 28th season, so we have found out who we are and what are priorities are. MS: It’s not all about the bass here. Most of your singers perform in the higher range. How do you make the choir well rounded in that sense? ME: If you go right back to the beginning, Diane and I had a glass of wine and said ‘let’s start a women’s choir.’ Many women’s choirs never really started because people were trying to find tenors and basses. We felt we didn’t need to do that. We fell into a niche that a women’s choir could do challenging, mixed repertoire and not be a mixed choir. Because of the Internet, our reach goes beyond where we live. We can now find choir repertoire on the ‘net and are very connected. We are well

known in the U.S. even though we haven’t been there a lot. Now it’s easy to borrow ideas from other choirs, and they can borrow from us. MS: How do you select your repertoire for performances? Do you look specifically for treble or do you have to have most pieces arranged for the choir? ME: We perform all treble repertoire, but (on the Vernon program) there is one piece that was written first for mixed choir originally, but then arranged for treble voices. Ola Gjeilo’s Northern Lights was written for mixed choir - a lot of choirs sing this piece. He saw that there were a lot of treble voices out there and he contacted me and wanted Elektra to do the first performance of his new arrangement for treble. It just premiered at Christmas this past year and then was recorded for release on iTunes. MS: I can’t even pronounce the title of the Russian folk song (Ne po pogrebu Bochonochek Kataetsja)

you will be performing. How does language fit into the importance of repertoire selection? ME: This piece has the soloists do most of the heavy lifting... I would prefer to do something in its original language if I can. This one would sound ridiculous if it was in English. We usually find someone who speaks the language and then they help the choir with pronunciation. We also listen to a recording of a person reading the words. There is an importance of singing it right. One of our members is also big on languages and also helps as a linguist. MS: Your signature piece has become David McIntyre’s Ave Maria. I’ve listened to it and it is very complex with lots of layers. Your sopranos are hitting some extremely high notes there. What is the secret to getting the singers prepared for such a challenging piece? ME: “We just did it here (at the

International Tapestry Festival for Women’s Choirs in Vancouver) with over 120 singers. It’s such an amazing piece, a little piece of perfection... My daughter is in the choir now. She’s 19 and anyone who is under 27 in Elektra, and there are a few, wasn’t born when we first started performing it. My daughter sang Ave Maria for the first time this past year. She said she thought she knew her part, but then realized there are two parts in the high register. You have to do a lot of vocal calisthenics. MS: You will be joined by a local choir, Ancora Women’s Ensemble from Armstrong, to perform Ave Maria. Will you have a full rehearsal with them, and how will they fit into the piece? ME: Ancora will hopefully have heard us do the warm up and know the sound we’re after. They also will have listened to the recording, so they can have a sense for it. All of us are looking for a similar tone. They are classically-based singers, so I’m sure they are up to the challenge. MS: Any other piece on your program for Vernon that has a special connection? Elektra recently performed Eatnemen Vuelie by Frode Fjellheim with Cantus (conducted by Tove Ramlo-Ystad) at Tapestry. Cantus’ version of the song can be heard on the soundtrack for Frozen, one of top selling recordings of 2013. Disney was looking for reference points to use in the movie and bought a CD by this Norwegian women’s choir. After listening to it they said, ‘This is what we want.’ They wanted the sound of a Scandinavian choir. Ramlo-Ystad conducted the piece with our 120 singers (at Tapestry), so to perform with them was amazing. The Vernon concert is going to be an enjoyable night. Some of my favourite songs are on the program. Elektra Women’s Choir, accompanied by Dr. Stephen Smith, takes to the risers at the Performing Arts May 23 at 7:30 p.m. Opening is 16-year-old piano protégée Jaeden Izik-Dzurko, of Salmon Arm. Individual tickets are $35/adult and $17.50/student, available at the Ticket Seller, 250-5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.

Sister Speak makes Vernon connection Morning Star Staff

After a successful week performing at Canadian Music Week in Toronto and Canada’s renowned Tulip Festival in Ottawa, Sister Speak is holding concerts in four cities in their home province of B.C. as part of their current seven-week North America Tour. Their trek home to B.C. commences this week with performances on Canada’s Via Rail Train from Toronto to Kamloops, as part of the Via Rail’s Artist On Board program. Sister Speak’s first stop in B.C., and only Okanagan concert, will be held in Vernon at Triumph Coffee House Monday. The core acoustic duo, comprised of the Okanagan’s own Sherri Anne (singer-songwriter, guitarist) and drummer Lisa Viegas, invite the audience to share in an intimate evening of music featuring songs from the duo’s Rise Up For Love album, as well as new singles and stories from the road. Sister Speak’s moving live show and unique musical palette has afforded them opening slots

for major acts such as Air Supply, Chris Isaak and performances at premiere industry showcases and concert halls throughout Canada and the U.S. “As both a duo and band, Sister Speak has built a large fan base in their adoptive hometown of San Diego, Calif., and created a strong presence in cities they frequent in North America,” said Barry Siegel, manager of Australia’s acclaimed Air Supply, who has twice invited Sister Speak to open for the band. Sister Speak’s debut, Rise Up For Love, is airing on CBC Radio and lead single, Chicago Dream, placed them as regional finalists in CBC’s Searchlight contest. The band was recently named Juice FM Nelson’s Breakout B.C. Artist. Catch them live on Monday in Vernon at Triumph Coffee, 3401 30th Ave. Doors open at 7 p.m. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Cover is $10 at the door, with partial proceeds going to the Zimbabwe Project.

Spring in the Arts with ‘Emily Carr’ and friends Morning Star Staff

Her name is synonymous with the arts in Canada and graces one of the most respected art institutions in B.C., so it’s apt that Emily Carr is about to make an appearance at a fundraiser to support students and the arts. Actually the embodiment of the late painter and author, Christine Pilgrim enacts Emily Carr as part of the Spring in the Arts fundraiser at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre Friday, May 22. The night, which features music and art in its many forms, is hosted by the parental advisory committee of the Vernon school district’s vLearn (virtual learning) program. “The concept of the gala evening began when some local parents met to discuss fundraising to enhance learning oppor-

tunities at their children’s school,” said vLearn PAC representative Catherine Hansen. “In discussion about what we needed at vLearn, we realized that the best gift we could give our students was to provide them with an opportunity to help others and lead by example” The vLearn PAC coordinated student workshops with various galleries around Vernon, including Gallery Vertigo, the Vernon Public Art Gallery, and the Vernon Community Arts Centre, and some of the student art created at those galleries will be auctioned off at Spring in the Arts. The evening will also feature Pilgrim telling tales of Emily Carr’s journey into the world of arts. Pilgrim will be accompanied by community youth and artists, followed by a feature

Talented violinist Eli Garlick, of up-andcoming indie rock band Amistad, will perform as well as Gus Hansen (El Gusto), who recently appeared as one of the leads in The Diviners at Powerhouse Theatre. Also on the bill is folk singer Carolyn Anele and local drumming group the Earth Sisters.

Popular bands Lent Fraser Wall and Steel Wound will be featured in the second half of the show, while local sarode player Daniel Stark will provide entertainment in the theatre lobby at the start of the night. Visual artisans of all levels and disciplines will also have pieces on display in the silent auction. “In sharing the project we’ve been joined by other artists and individuals who have come forth to be involved,” said Hansen. “Student opportunities are ongoing till the actual event date. They are learning or improving on their artistic skills, including drawing, painting, pottery, acting, music and more. The most important lesson, however, is the lesson in sharing and helping others, which has led to all sorts of opportunities.”

that’s the problem. They don’t rock with abandon. They sound contemporary and pop. Marcus Mumford’s voice is resonant enough to fill the songs with a sense of importance and drama and one listen to Believe makes it clear that the quartet is going to hit the stadium rock trail. It’s too bad that music is awful in those arenas. While Mumford and Sons keeps its keening nu-folk harmonic buzzing along, they’ve opted out to sound generic and less identifiable. Tompkins Square Park and Only Love evoke the grandeur of U2 and Coldplay. That’s logical considering the band’s background, but it’s disappointing

Restaurants. Recipes. Entertainment. It’s here.

that Just Smoke recalls the cuddly blandness of The Dave Matthews Band. Their dynamic sense is used theatrically in Broad Shouldered Beasts, a grandiose love song that sounds standard. Things would have turned out much differently had Mumford and Sons chosen to unleash some electric fury. Acoustic folkies have done it before with great results. There’s a sense of industry standard on Wilder Mind. On Monster, Mumford uses the F bomb to lame effect. It’s a cliché that wrecks the beauty of tracks like Ditmas. From folk rock to condominium rock, North American arenas beckon the boys from London.

The event will benefit children in need through the Family Resource Centre in Vernon, the Vernon Community Music School’s (VCMS) bursary fund, and the Free the Children Foundation.

Architect Doug Warner explains the features of his home during the Eco-Friendly Home Tour hosted by the Canadian Federation of University Women. The recent tour brought out about 60 participants who were divided into smaller groups for individual tours of each of the seven homes.

Eco-friendly home tour is a hit

Frances Warner Special to The Morning Star

Tickets to the Eco-friendly Home Tour sold out before the Canadian Federation of University Women could finish pinning up all their posters. The tour of seven homes — four in Vernon and three in Kelowna — was held May 2 and 3. The event raised more than $1,000 with proceeds going towards two scholarships which CFUW provides annually to Vernon students. Ticket holders saw seven completely different and fascinating homes where owners built or renovated to reduce energy and water consumption and cost. Almost all of the homes employed geothermal systems and harvested rainwater, but they did so in diverse ways. The Wilson home in Vernon’s Foothills subdivision impressed attendees with 35 photo voltaic panels that produce more electricity than the totally electric house uses, including their 9.6 kW pottery kiln. BC Hydro provided a $318 credit after the first year of PV panel operation. This house may be the first Net-Zero house for energy use in Vernon. Educator Lloyd Davies and his wife Janet Armstrong described how they retrofitted their 70-year-old East Hill house, xeriscaped their property and made eco-friendly lifestyle changes that helped reduce their energy use by more than 55 per cent.

On the hillside above Okanagan Lake, LEED architect Doug Warner explained how he utilizes siting, building design, and passive solar design principles to reduce his home’s water and energy demands. With local contractor Mark Kemper, he developed a simple and inexpensive geothermal system for conditioning of intake air. In Coldstream, Brian Guy, a geoscientist and vice president of Summit Environmental Consultants, described how he and his wife Sue have reduced their indoor water consumption to half the Okanagan average and their outdoor water use to a tiny fraction of the Okanagan average, by rainwater harvesting and grey water recycling. With its cutting edge technology, Brian’s mechanical room was an eye-opener for many participants, however Brian shared how the payback period can be long and how being a first adopter can also mean difficulty finding tradespeople adept in these latest technologies. On May 3, the tour continued in Kelowna, where UBCO associate professor Denise Kenney and her students from the university’s Eco-art Incubator Project filmed the tour in order to create a documentary. Designer/builder, and chairperson of the local Cascadia Green Building

Lloyd Davies explains how he retrofitted his 70-year-old East Hill home. Council Collaborative, Deren Sentesy toured the group through Ethel Lane House. The 640 sq.ft. laneway home is the Okanagan’s first Living Building Challenge registered project and is on target to meet its certification requirements. Architect Hugh Bitz explained how his home, situated on an infill lot, is heated without a furnace and cooled without an air conditioner, again by employing passive solar design principles. The insulated panel system used not only saved construction time, it resulted in a tighter building envelope with just over one air change per hour. The tour concluded with refreshments at the elegant home of architect Matt Johnston and Grace Pontes, owners of Architecturally

Distinct Solutions, who described the stringent process of applying for Gold LEED status. CFUW is grateful for everyone’s support in the fundraiser and offers special thanks to Erik Tamez-Hrabovsky, chairperson of the local BC Sustainable Energy Association, for their assistance. Participants were so pleased with the tour that they asked CFUW to organize one next year. So, how eco-friendly is your home? Is it designed or retrofitted in ways that generate energy or conserve water? Perhaps you own a rammed earth home, have wind turbines, unique solar panels, or a straw bale house? If you are interested in being a tour host in the future, please email franceswarner@shaw.ca.

It’s time for the Allan Brooks Nature Centre’s Mega Garage and Plant Sale May 23 and 24, with Bargain Day May 30.

The Allan Brooks Nature Centre’s Mega Garage and Plant Sale offers bargains galore while helping to fund programs Morning Star Staff

Stock up on housewares, pick up some new board games for the family or grab a few Christmas decorations at bargain prices. These and more can be found at the annual Allan Brooks Nature Centre Mega Garage and Plant Sale, May 22 and 23, with Bargain Day May 30. “Our sale is returning again this year for what is sure to be one of the biggest sales yet,” said Kaitlyn Richards, communications assistant at the ABNC. “There is a wide variety of treasures to be found, all organized into departments, making searching for your great find easier than ever.” Items include books, housewares, sporting equipment, toys, pictures, Christmas decorations, automotive and

garden tools, furniture and more. “What started more than 15 years ago as a way to fundraise for the centre itself has grown into one of our most anticipated events,” said Richards. “Not only is it a fantastic way to recycle old gems and find new ones, but all money raised goes toward the development and promotion of educational and advocacy programs, as well as the purchase of learning resource materials for the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, so you can feel even better about your purchase.” Volunteers at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre are busy preparing for one of the biggest garage and plant sales ever to take place in the Vernon area. The dedicated volunteers diligently sort through the many donat-

ed items placing similar items together and culling those that are not suitable for selling. A large variety of healthy perennial plants, many donated by master garden volunteers will also be for sale. Since 1996, the ABNC has grown from a discontinuted weather station into an interpretive centre with activity rooms, display space, indoor and outdoor classrooms, picnic and play areas, an artist studio, native plant gardens, viewpoint sitting areas and a wheel chair friendly grasslands trail. “The result is a facility for exceptional nature education in Vernon and surrounding area,” said longtime volunteer Mel Maglio. Garage sale items are now being accepted and can be dropped off at the centre until Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. If these times are inconvenient, please call the centre at 250-260-4227 to make alternate arrangements or for pick-up. Please, no large appliances,

Highlander big for bigger families By Bob McHugh

Toyota introduced a completely redesigned and more upscale Highlander in 2008 (its mid-sized utility vehicle) that was bigger with three rows of seating, more powerful and more expensive. Bad timing, as that very same year the world`s economy took an unexpected and spectacular nosedive, which sparked a major consumer trend to scale down. This model offers has a more rounded shape with pronounced wheel arches and there’s a flip-open rear door window. It`s a handy feature that allows you to drop stuff into the cargo area without opening the large rear door. The V6 engine versions of Highlander came with four-wheeldrive plus extra goodies like a back-up camera, a power driver’s seat and fog lamps. Above base, the higher trim levels were Sport, Limited and SR5 (only for 2008). A four-wheel-drive Highlander Hybrid with a gas/electric powertrain was also offered and came in base and Limited trim levels. Hybrid power is provided by a 3.3 litre V6 engine coupled to an electric motor and they have a combined power output of 270 horsepower, which is roughly the same as the regular 3.5-litre V6. The hybrid`s city/highway fuel economy, however, is rated (new five-cycle method) at 8.6 / 9.5 L/100km compared to 13.8 / 10.4 km/100km for the 3.5 litre V6. Reacting to the new economic reality, in an impressively quick way, Toyota introduced a substantially lower priced and more basic, front-drive Highlander, midway through the ’09 model year. It came with two-row seating and a 2.7 litre 4-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine can provide 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque at 4,100 rpm and its city/ highway fuel economy rating is 11.8 / 8.7 L/100km.

Price Check: 2008 - 2013 Toyota Highlander (April 2015)

A comfortable and secure all-weather family cruiser, the Toyota Highlander is a low risk purchase with a history of solid reliability and excellent resale value retention.

Bob McHugh

Highlander is a ‘Top Safety Pick’ according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, based on its front, side and rear crash tests. Highlander was included in a series of safety recalls (see list), including the famous “floor mat recall”, in response to mysterious defect that supposedly caused unintended acceleration. No changes were made to the 2010 Highlander, but for 2011, it got revised front and rear styling, with slimmer headlights, a new front grille and new taillights. The Sport model was discontinued and the hybrid version got a (combined 280 horsepower) 3.5L V6. A third-row seat also became standard on all models. No significant changes were made for the 2012 or 2013 model years, which were the last of this generation Highlander. The completely revised 2014 Highlander, a sleeker family-friendly seven passenger cross utility, recorded its best sales year ever. A comfortable and secure all-weather family cruiser, the Toyota Highlander is a low risk purchase with a history of solid reliability and excellent resale value retention.

Dealers will replace the spiral cable assembly. 2008 - 2010: If a Toyota optional accessory “tray-type” floor mat is not secured by retaining hooks, or is placed on top of an existing floor mat, it may move forward and interfere with the accelerator pedal. Owners were notified to remove the “tray-type” floor

Dealers will reconfigure the shape of the accelerator pedal, modify the floor underneath the accelerator pedal and/or install a brake override system. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

2008: Side curtain airbag roll angle sensors may fail. If one roll angle sensor malfunctions, the airbag warning lamp will illuminate and the roll detection system will be suspended. If both roll angle sensors fail simultaneously, the curtain shield airbag and the seatbelt pre-tensioner could inadvertently deploy.

Obituaries

Dad leaves behind his wife Marie, his son, Steve (Karyn) Onsorge and beloved grandchildren, Madeleine, Chloe, and Gavin, and his daughter Lisa (Chris) Nemeth and his beloved grandson, Noah Popp. He is also survived by his brother Ulli (Pattie), & numerous nieces and nephews. Dad was pre-deceased by his parents, George and Ellie and his brother Monty. Dad was quiet and reserved but very generous and kind. He loved and supported deeply. Dad lived to serve others - his family, his church, and his work. He was driven by faith and conviction to live a godly life. One of his particular passions was Vernon Christian School where Dad was able to provide custodial and maintenance service in his later years. He was all about having things done ‘right’ and this last year, as his health declined, he couldn’t physically contribute but made sure he stayed informed.

She liked to follow in her father’s footsteps by sharing fruit from the family orchard. Celebration of life to be held Sunday, June 21. For details contact monica.jackson@smus.ca. No flowers please. Those wishing to remember Mary may send a donation to the Vernon Ellison Memorial Award at the Okanagan College Foundation, 1000 KLO Road, Kelowna BC, V1Y 4X8.

(nee Weber) was born on November 7th, 1933 in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan and passed away peacefully on May 11th, 2015 in the North Okanagan Hospice at the age of 81 years. Leona was a hard working and devoted Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, and a dear friend to many. She was proud to call Lumby home and in 1994 she retired from the Consumers Glass Plant as an honorary member, after having spent 25 years of employment there. Mom and “Gramma” will be lovingly remembered for her infectious smile, gentle listening ear, and for the genuine advice she shared with others. She took great pleasure in family time, gardening, cooking, baking, quilting, and coffee dates with her special friends. Leona will be forever loved and missed by her children, Dawna (Richard) Price of Lumby, B.C. and Dwayne Koenig of Vernon, B.C.; her grandchildren, Melanie (Gary) Ouellette, Jodi (Kevin) MacKay, Karly (Justin) Bye, Nikolas Koenig and Matthew Koenig; her great-grandchildren, Kai, Kenzi and Kash; and one sister, Marie Smith of Nanton, Alberta. She was preceded in death by her husband, William Koenig in 1984. In respecting Leona’s wishes, she was cremated and a private family gathering in her memory will take place. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Leona to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 - 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4. We, Leona’s family wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff at the North Okanagan Hospice for the love, support and compassionate care you gave to our Mom and Gramma as well as to ourselves. You indeed are “angels” and your love will be remembered forever. Thank you. “Always in our hearts!” Cremation arrangements were made with Bethel Funeral Chapel Ltd., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C.
