Snakes scare up anxious calls ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

Rattlesnakes, of course, are familiar residents of the Okanagan. They are one of six species of snakes common to the Okanagan Valley. Corn snakes are not one of the six. But there was Vernon’s Pete Wise, owner/ operator of Wise Wildlife Control Services, dealing with the alien snake found in the lobby of a Vernon apartment building on 32nd Avenue Wednesday morning. “I got the call from the RCMP at 2 a.m., saying there was a snake in the lobby,” said Wise. “When I got there, the snake started to go on a tour of the hallway. The RCMP did an excellent job of keeping it constrained so it didn’t take off.” It’s unclear as to how the blood-red corn snake, about five feet in length, got into the building. Wise said it was quite skinny and took it to a couple he knows that rehabilitates snakes. The corn snake call was one of seven in 24 hours Wise received about snakes. Most of the calls had to deal with rattlesnakes. Wise saw his first rattlesnake of the season

about five-to-six weeks ago in an area where he knew a rattlesnake den existed. But the early warm weather is also bringing snakes out to seek the heat. “It’s hot in the daytime but the ambient air temperature drops quite dramatically in the early evening, so snakes are moving to sidewalks, pathways, driveways and gardens to get that last vestige of heat during the day, and that’s where they’re staying,” said Wise. “That’s where they meet up with humans. Remember, we’ve moved into their world. They’ve always been here.” What Wise likes to do, if it’s possible, is if people come across a snake, take a picture of it with your iPhone and send it to him. “I’ll identify if the snake is venomous or non-venomous and then I’ll give some course of action to take,” he said. “If I can identify the species, I can give the person some instruction as to whether they should be more careful or put them a little more at ease.” Wise will come trap the snake and relocate it if necessary. He said it is against the law in B.C. to kill any species of snake.

Lumby smokers are facing tighter restrictions. Council instructed staff Tuesday to amend policies to ban smoking throughout all parks, at the salmon trail and at bus stops. “Studies show that children start smoking if they see adults smoking so we want to put a stop to that,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Currently, smoking is only prohibited in specific areas frequented by children, such as the playground. However, Acton says there is a need to expand the areas where smoking isn’t allowed. “The salmon trail is meant to be a healthy, outdoor experience and we’re hearing complaints that it’s not,” he said. Opposition to the changes came from Coun. Nick Hodge. “I thought it reached too far,” he said of the ban at bus stops and in the parks. “It might stop people from going to the park.” Acton insists the village is not discriminating against smokers. “I smoked for a time and I never smoked in a park or where people were with their children,” he sad. “There are still lots of places to smoke where it’s appropriate.” No-smoking rules could be relaxed by the village if there is a request for groups using parks, such as Lumby Days. “There are still opportunities for special events,” said Tom Kadla, chief administrative officer.

Triple tragedy averted on Sugar Lake JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

The dark of night was just creeping in as Cliff Melbrew heard the chilling cries for help from the lake and dropped his dinner as he made a mad dash to his boat. “It was 8:30 at night, it was right before dark,” said Melbrew, who was joined by his cousin Jason Vanwyk as they raced to the middle of Sugar Lake Saturday night. “There was a boat underwater and people in the water and stuff everywhere,” said Melbrew, who was camped at the Mile 3 site when he heard the screams for help. The Cherryville cousins pulled two Lumby women and a man from the water, as none of them had any strength left to even climb onto the boat. Seating them next to the heater and wrapping them in blankets, the victims were cold and in shock, but lucky to be alive. “If we would’ve been two minutes later they would’ve died,” said Melbrew, who thankfully had a heated vessel and blankets aboard. On top of the fact that the water was so cold, which Melbrew’s boat read to be just three degrees, the trio had no life jackets aboard their boat. “They would’ve drowned,” said Melbrew. “It was close.” Elaine Durette, Sugar Lake site operator, applauds the efforts of these local heroes who prevented a near triple tragedy. “Had it not been for the quick response and first-aid training and supplies from Cliff and Jason, these three people likely would have succumbed to the hypothermia already setting in, and this story would have had an otherwise very

Cherryville resident Cliff Melbrew’s swift actions with his boat are to thank for rescuing a trio whose boat capsized on Sugar Lake over the Victoria Day long weekend. Jules Durette (top) and Garth Karoaka were also on scene to assist in the rescue operation. tragic ending.” The trio was apparently headed for an overnight stay on an island on Sugar Lake when the incident occurred. Their small boat was packed full of camping gear, coolers and wood when a wave came up and capsized the vessel. “They were tempting fate by setting out at dusk in choppy waters, especially without life jackets,” said Durette. There was no way they could have swam back to shore, said Melbrew. “They were way too far out,

they were in the middle of the lake.” Thankfully their cries for help were heard by the right people. “It freaked me out, just the sound of them screaming for help,” said Melbrew, adding that usually you can’t hear anything from that particular camp, so it was unusual their cries actually echoed through. Adrenaline immediately jolted him into action (something he didn’t expect as he’d never had to rescue anyone before). “It probably took me about a minute and a half to get out there,”

said Melbrew. “I was the first boat there, the next boat was 10 minutes out.” Garth Karoaka and Jules Durette arrived shortly thereafter to offer assistance. Between the two boats and their crew, they were able to retrieve the sinking boat and motor using Melbrew’s anchor and also some of the floating gear using fishing nets. All the parties involved hope this near tragedy serves as a reminder to the public just how dangerous it can be out on the water.

“I know how dangerous water is – it’s got no forgiveness,” said Melbrew, an avid fisher who spends almost every weekend on Sugar Lake, but knew better than to be on the rough lake that night. The cold water, combined with no lifejackets is a recipe for disaster. “It’s the perfect example of why people drown,” said Melbrew. “It happens everywhere, but at least this year, nobody died.”

Watershed safety sought

It corners the market on confidence. And cornering.

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There is growing pressure to protect the North Okanagan’s community watersheds. The Regional District of North Okanagan board voted Wednesday to demand that the Ministry of Forests restrict access to watersheds and increase enforcement. “We need to put the conservation officers on notice not to just sit at the bottom of a hill and check (vehicle) licenses but get up into the bush,” said director Brian Quiring. Water utilities are unable to fence off watersheds because they are on provincial Crown Brian Quiring land, and that has led to significant issues with off-road vehicles on the Grizzly, Aberdeen, Haddo and King Edward dams, which serve Greater Vernon. “People are accessing them at the bottom and using them as hill climbs,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager. “Grizzly dam is becoming a destination - people from Alberta, Kelowna, Vernon.” In fact, there were reportedly 500 people at Grizzly Lake on the May long weekend. If the dams breach from degradation, not only would Greater Vernon lose a substantial portion of its water supply, but the sudden flow of water could negatively impact areas downstream. “If the dam fails, we are the owner and we are responsible,” said Clark. Another threat also exists when people are informally camping along the dams. “There would be a tremendous loss to the watershed if we had a fire,” said director Herman Halvorson. Director Doug Dirk is frustrated provincial rules stop communities from protecting water sources. “We are spending millions of dollars on water quality but we can’t restrict access to watersheds,” he said. Director Janice Brown also believes it is ironic that provincial agencies are insisting communities spend money on water quality infrastructure when government rules leave reservoirs exposed. “They don’t want to come to the plate to protect our watersheds,” she said.

Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson on Tuesday to order a dangerous offender assessment — the first step in a lengthy process that could see Ellis indefinitely behind bars. Josephson, who in February convicted Ellis, now 41, of crimes related to the aforementioned chase, explained that the bar for approving the assessment is quite low, and that the prosecution easily made its case. Crown counsel Murray Kaay explained that Ellis’s numerous criminal convictions demonstrated a persistent behaviour type and penchant for acts that could cause serious personal injury.

The City of Vernon is providing details around Canada Day fireworks and their absence this year. “Canada Day fireworks have been organized by a small, dedicated group of volunteers for a number of years,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “The fireworks event is not a City of Vernon organized or funded display. Volunteers designed the show, raised the funds through donations from local busi-

nesses, individuals and federal government grants, ordered the fireworks, and ran the show.” The previous volunteer group that organized fireworks is no longer operating and new volunteers have not come forward. As a result, there has been no planning for a July 1 event this year. “City staff will not be assuming the roles of past volunteers and the city is not budgeted to purchase fireworks or contract licensed fireworks show organizers,” said Pearce.

He was considered to have an “inexcusable temper” and was believed to be at high risk to reoffend. A report at that time also showed that he demonstrated antisocial and narcissistic personality features. More recent attempts to assess Ellis have been rejected, and he recently refused to participate in a pre-sentencing report which would delve into his history. Ellis’s lawyer, John Gustafson argued

against the assessment, noting that the crimes that his client had previously been convicted of were of a different character than the spurof-the-moment chase for which he’s awaiting sentencing. Those, he explained, took forethought which his client hadn’t displayed in the case at hand. For the July 2012 chase that ran down Westside Road from West Kelowna to the outer reaches of Vernon, Ellis was originally charged with several counts of attempted murder along with the weapons and robbery charge that he’s yet to be sentenced for. He was acquitted of the attempted murder charges. The assessment could be completed by August, at which time the next step in the process will be laid out.

Following Canada Day 2014, Pearce says the city recommended to the volunteers involved in the Canada Day celebration in Polson Park and the fireworks display consider forming one society. “As a society, the volunteers have greater flexibility to organize events, to fundraise and direct monies, to acquire director liability insurance, to enter into contracts, to engage staff or support,” he said. Currently, the Polson Park Canada Day celebrations operate independently from the fireworks committee.

Meeting flooded with concerns richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Critics of Greater Vernon’s water utility insist they want to be part of the solution. About 100 people attended a meeting hosted by the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan Tuesday at the Schubert Centre. “We’re not adversarial. We want to support our politicians in decision making,” said Terry Mooney, CCMWP spokesperson. However, significant concerns were raised about the current master water plan initiated by the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee, the decision to use Duteau Creek for domestic use and the failed $70 million borrowing referendum in November. “You elected the politicians. You can elect them in and you can elect them out,” said Maria Besso, a CCMWP member and former Coldstream councillor. “You should hold them accountable and

Maria Besso, with Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan, speaks to about 100 people at the Schubert Centre Tuesday. (GVAC) staff takes direction from the politicians.” And a number of politicians were at the session. “We are undergoing a review and we are taking everything they said seriously,” said Catherine Lord, a Vernon councillor and GVAC director, of the crowd Tuesday night. J u l i e t t e Cunningham, a Vernon councillor and GVAC

chairperson, insists all aspects of the water system are being reviewed. “There will be an opportunity for public input as we decide what to do with our master water plan,” she said. Other elected officials in attendance were Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund, city councillors Scott Anderson and Bob Spiers and Coldstream Coun. Gyula Kiss. CCMWP is calling for an independent

review of the master water plan as a way of meeting long-term water needs. “We want a fresh new look undertaken of the master water plan,” said Eric Jackson, a member of the group and a former water reclamation director for Vernon. “We should return water rates to affordable levels.” Jackson referred to figures that show the annual bill in 2014 for a Vernon customer using 350 cubic metres of water was $899 compared to $291 in Kelowna and $427 in Penticton. “Water rates have now become a hardship for many businesses and residents. The direct result is brown lawns and lawns turned to rock.” CCMWP wants Duteau Creek only used for irrigating agricultural land and for domestic water to come from Kalamalka Lake and eventually Okanagan Lake, which Jackson says provide better quality water

Summer road work starts up

Beginning next week and lasting until the end of September, City of Vernon crews and contractors will begin construction between 30th Avenue and 32nd Avenue. The work will include rehabilitating storm mains, sanitary mains, curb and gutter, sidewalks and repaving on 33rd Street. The sanitary mains will be relined using a “no

dig” construction method as a way of reducing infrastructure costs. During construction, expect occasional detours of roads, alleys and sidewalks, as well as alternating traffic lanes. Access to buildings will be maintained at all times, and traffic management and pedestrian access through and around the site will be the priority.

which will require less treatment. “Why are we treating Duteau Creek water to supply mainly irrigation water? The crops don’t need potable water,” said Jackson.

Don’t Let Your Windows Leave You In A Fog Dirty Foggy Windows

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Is There a Solution?

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Blue bin blues fade

t’s been a year now since those once frowned-upon blue boxes hit our doorsteps and caused mass upset throughout Greater Vernon. Seniors were outraged and families were furious at the changes that were being forced upon them. With a new list of rules to sort through, many raised issue with the new Multi Material B.C. program and the changes that ensued. But one year later, and the outrage appears to have subsided. It seems the program has found some form of acceptance, not just locally, but provincially. Jennifer Smith It’s likely there are still a number of people grumbling under their breath every time they haul their overflowing bins to the curb. It’s also very possible that the changes caused some to trash their recycling efforts altogether. But with more than 25 pickups under our belts, it’s even more likely that this new program has even more people enlisted on the recycling roster. That in turn means more items are being saved from the landfill. The publicity recycling gained, both good and bad, has caused greater awareness. People are recycling things they never knew they could, like shampoo bottles and paper envelopes. Unfortunately in my household, that is not the case. I used to recycle everything, so now, while my recycling bin is still overflowing, so too is my garbage. But it’s awareness for me that things like those blister packs (from pills and gum) can’t be recycled, nor can all those plastic baggies and wrap we use for lunches and leftovers. Straws, cutlery, stand-up pouches (a form of juice box), foil-lined carboard take-out lids and garbage bags also end up in the trash. All the plastic wrap and bags that cover everything from bread to pull-ups to flats of

At RAndoM

water/juice and even the bags we carry our groceries home in are also ending up in the trash (even though these items can be recycled if taken directly into the depot). I tried for a while to collect all such plastic, and managed to make a few trips to the depot. Unfortunately those efforts were soon trashed as piles of plastic around the house started cluttering up our lives. But making that extra trip to the trash can every week has also made me think twice about my actions. It’s got me packing more lunches with re-usable Tupperware instead of sandwich baggies and choosing products from the store with less plastic packaging (if the price is right). It’s fitting, considering Environment Week gets underway June 1 to 6 – the perfect time for us all to consider what kind of footprint we are leaving on the world. Recycling our paper, plastic and metal is just one way of making a difference. Another opportunity to contribute (which actually doubles as two good deeds) is donating gently used clothing, shoes and household items to thrift stores. Whether it’s the Upper Room Mission Boutique, The Georgette Shop, Salvation Army, Value Village or Pro Life Thrift Store, not only do items get re-used, the sale benefits charity. There’s also the Gleaners, which accepts gently-used furniture and appliances. The Vernon Women’s Transition House Society can also make great use of gently used items. Supplies such as food, towels, glass and wood or old cabinets to build enclosures are always needed at the Vernon Exotic and Small Animal rescue. The Red Cross will take wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and canes, bath seats and benches, commodes and toilet seats, power patient lifts, biomedical equipment such as nebulizers and feeding pumps and other durable medical equipment. So before spring cleaning leaves you with loads of trash, consider what items can be reused by someone a little less fortunate.

There’s no question that some residents are frustrated with how Greater Vernon’s water utility is being handled. About 100 people attended a meeting hosted by the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan Tuesday, and there were pointed comments about the failed $70 million borrowing referendum in November, escalating water rates and the very source of the community’s water. Credit goes to the elected officials who showed up and faced the frustration firsthand. “We are undergoing a review and we are taking everything they said seriously,” said Catherine Lord, a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee director. “There will be an opportunity for public input as we decide what to do with our master water plan,” added Juliette Cunningham, GVAC chairperson. And one hopes the politicians are sincere about involving residents in the process as it is rankand-file citizens who not only depend on the water utility but must foot the bill for upgrades. However, the challenge for GVAC is who to listen to. Yes, the Citizens for Changes to the Master Water Plan has been formed and is taking an active role in the issue, which is welcome in a democracy. However, it’s unclear how many people the group actually represents and whether its views reflect the interests of the broader community. GVAC needs to sit down with the representatives from CCMWP and consider any proposals that come forward, but further outreach with other residents and businesses will be necessary. No matter the process, though, it’s imperative that a water system be developed that meets the region’s needs in a cost-effective manner.

Just say no way to one-way routes

lthough at a quick thought, a oneway couplet system may seem like a good idea for Vernon, I would like to get you past that quick thought to the reality that it is not. First of all, the cost would be immense. The interchange on the north end of town would have to be torn down and redesigned. Every intersection would have to be reconfigured for a one-way set up. Think of how much it costs to add an advanced green arrow. On the south end of town, we would have to extend 27th Street over Polson Park and somehow connect by the army camp at the top of the hill. What would be gained by all of this cost?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Every week I read letters for and against dogs in our parks and on our beaches. Enough is enough. People's rights should far outweigh dogs. My children's rights should have priority. There is obviously fewer responsible dog owners, because the mess is everywhere. It's on my sidewalks in East Hill, it's in my city parks, its in my provincial parks, even in my yard. Everywhere I choose to recreate with my young family, there it is. On our neighborhood walks, on our hikes, and on our bike rides. I am tired of hearing the words: "Don't worry he's friendly," while dogs run off-leash and jump on my kids. I don't care if your dog is friendly, I don't want him all over me or my family. I am tired of dogs being on beaches that are clearly not dog beaches. I am tired of seeing poop bags tossed on the side of trails, in trees, or stuck in fences. Until all of you dog owners can pick up after your pets, the rules and signs need to be followed. Keep them on-leash, pick up after them and stay in the designated pet areas.

You would now have four lanes of busy one-way traffic instead of four lanes of busy two-way traffic. This system would not reduce the amount of traffic moving through our city. In fact, it would move north-flowing highway traffic along 27th Street, increasing transport truck traffic in front of Beairsto Elementary. It is true that we have traffic issues in the city near certain intersections that should be improved. I think we need to focus on improving the areas of most concern, such as the intersection near the Vernon Square mall. And possibly in the future, move the highway traffic along a bypass. Joel van der Molen

It's as simple as that. Let my family enjoy our beautiful outdoors and maybe even spot some wildlife that haven't been chased or scared away by your pets. Lisa Fogel A RESPONSE I feel compelled to respond a few points contained in a letter to the editor written by Alice Klim. Ms. Klim states, “the people of B.C. bought the land for Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park for people not rattlesnakes”. In the B.C. Parks mission statement, however, the very first commitment laid out is the, “protecting and managing for future generations a wide variety of outstanding park lands which represent the best natural features and diverse wilderness environments of the province." Furthermore, the provincial park’s online pamphlet describes Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park as, “one of the few publicly owned examples of the rapidly disappearing natural grasslands that once stretched from Vernon to Osoyoos. It is a living museum of the region”. The importance of the grasslands above Cosens Bay are specifically singled out on the B.C.

Parks website. Ms. Klim suggests that these grasslands are neither original nor fragile, citing a paper written by Rob Cannings in 1975 that recommended the use of Tordon to rid the area of knapweed (which was introduced and spread as a result of human related disturbance). Tordon is an herbicide that targets broad-leafed and woody shrubs, leaving grasses virtually untouched. The objective in using it was to rectify the damage done previously. The native grasses rebounded successfully. Seeing his name cited in Ms. Klim’s letter, I called Rob and asked him about the event. He was shocked to be referenced in such a context and emphasized that the grasslands were indeed natural, original and fragile. To underscore the importance of the area, Rob sent me a recent article he published describing a new species of robber fly first discovered in these same grasslands above Cosens Bay and endemic to the Okanagan. Perhaps an insect doesn’t mean a great deal to many but keep in mind that penicillin was extracted from a bothersome mold. Amusement parks are for peo-

ple. Provincial parks, on the other hand, provide us with the opportunity to view our role in a much broader, grander picture. To fragment a precious jewel like Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park for the purpose of providing convenient access for a few property owners, where none was promised, is an affront to future generations Let’s put our kids first.

GREAT HEALTH CARE Upon reading the letter submitted by Marianne Salewski and not doubting the trials and tribulations of her stay at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, I feel I should relate my experience during three stays at VJH during the past two-and-ahalf years just to provide some balance. I had heart rhythm problems, the latest being very serious. I spent time in ICU, CCU and on ward 2 West, and all aspects of my care were professional, diligent and with the utmost of kindness. I know there is a lot of juggling going on most of the time, but I think it's done with the utmost in efficiency. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say the cost of my care and procedures there and

the same person they once knew. “That is not him,” said Sandy. When it comes down to it, their son’s addiction was no fault of theirs. “He admits that what happens is he lost his way,” said Tim. “He’s a great kid who just went off the rails.” Their only mistake was loving him to a fault. That is the story told in their book, Loving Him to A Fault. A book the couple wrote in the midst of their distress in 2013. “Loving him to a fault, that’s what you do as a parent but it’s about knowing the right time to let go,” said Sandy. “Save yourself.” “What you have to learn is to set boundaries,” said Tim, who has unfortunately met many parents in the past few years who don’t do that. “We have to go on and live our lives.” It wasn’t easy, but letting go is what saved them. “We had to make the toughest decision a parent ever had to make,” said Tim. “We had to let go with fear that he’s not going to make it.” “We had no choice, nothing else was working,” said Sandy. “We exhausted every other avenue so that was all that was left to do.” And since making that tough decision and following through with it, their son is now on the road to recovery. “He is in treatment and working hard at the program” said Sandy. Tim Varga will be sharing what he has learned in a public presentation called Loving Your Kids To A Fault - Parents, Don’t Enable Your Child, on Monday in the Vernon Secondary School theatre at 7 p.m. The presentation, put on by the Vernon School District, is free and children are welcome to attend. Proceeds from the sale of the book, Loving Him to A Fault, will be donated to the John Howard Society.

Armstrong speeders curbed Morning Star Staff

Several speeders in Armstrong got a surprise early Tuesday morning. One of the rural officers from Armstrong set out to conduct some speed enforcement in the area to deal with an issue of concern raised by residents. Shortly after he was set up a small blue vehicle that was believed to be one of concern for its speeding in the area, was observed operating at an excessive speed.

“We want everyone to have a safe summer.” — Gord Molendyk

“It turns out the driver of the vehicle was a novice driver,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The car was impounded for seven days and the driver was served with a violation ticket of $368 and four points on his driver’s

license. Residents in the area of Otter Lake Road have expressed concerns about speeding to both the police and council members. The Armstrong detachment wants the public to know that they will continue con-

Motorized boats could eventually be banned on parts of the Shuswap River. The Regional District of North Okanagan is currently seeking feedback on proposed boating regulations for the Shuswap River. The goal is to improve recreational safety, reduce bank erosion, reduce disturbance to salmon spawning grounds and minimize conflicts between users. “The decision to consider boating regulations for the Shuswap River has come about due to numerous occasions where community groups and residents have raised concerns with respect to the impacts of motorized vessels on the Shuswap River over the past 20 years,” said Anna Page, sustainability coordinator. Anna Page The regulations being proposed for the Shuswap River include: Lower Shuswap River from Mara Lake upstream to Baxter Bridge (Trinity Valley Road) – vessel engine size limit of 10 horsepower. Lower Shuswap River from the Baxter Bridge (Trinity Valley Road) upstream to the eastern (upstream) end of Skookumchuck Rapids Park – no motorized vessels. Mid-Shuswap River from South Mabel Lake upstream to the Shuswap Falls – no motorized vessels. Boating regulations are the responsibility of Transport Canada and any level of government can request the federal government to restrict the use of all vessels on all bodies of water in Canada. Regulations may help achieve safety, environmental or public interest objectives. “Numerous consultation activities will be undertaken over the next four months to obtain feedback on the proposed regulations including open houses and a survey,” said Page. An open house will be held at the Enderby Drill Hall, June 10 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and there will be one at the Mabel Lake Community Hall (Lumby end), June 11 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Surveys can be completed online and will be mailed to all property owners adjoining the river in the affected areas. The surveys, maps of the zones and additional information can be accessed at www.rdno.ca/boating. “We really want to gain an understanding of the level of community support for the proposed boating regulations. This is the first step in the process and we are open to hearing from all who would be affected” said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO chairperson.

The Railway Man?” “Yes!!! It was sooooooooo good. That actor that I love was in it”. “Who is that”? “You know – that English guy - well, he’s tall, nice looking – and oh – he was in that other movie where he portrayed a King with a stammer”. “Oh yeah”. “Oh what IS his name?” mmmm………………. think it starts with a “C”……….Oh, I know, Colin Firth!!!” “Oh yes of course……..gosh he’s a good actor isn’t it?” “What was the name of that film he played the king……… oh gawd……….this is bad isn’t it? I can’t remember anything anymore”. “Wait – I can look it up on my portable brain…………my smart phone………… that is if I can figure it out”! ROFLOL. Then, it can get worse. You have an entire conversation using “thingy”, “what’s it” and other general descriptors and the worrisome thing is you are understood. Putting together anything can be challenging. “Where’s the thingy?” “Huh? What’s a thingy”? “Gosh, I don’t know – but it is red and screws into the bar end of this ‘what’s-it” “Huh? What are you talking about?” “Why are there five of these little black round what-cha-macall-its left over?” “We need that twisty thing it came with it in the box to twist these into the holes”. “Oh – just pass that other thingy”. “WHAT is a thingy?” “That tool that pinches things together” “Ohhhhhhhhh….. you mean the pliers?” “YES!!!!” “Well, why didn’t you say so?”

And then there’s always………. “Have you seen ‘what’s-her-face’ recently? “Who?” “You know, ‘what’sher face’. You worked with her 15 years ago when we lived in Alberta”. “Well, I worked with a lot of people in Alberta”. “You know who I mean……….she phones from time to time and she’s married to that guy I’m not crazy about”. “HUH?” “Well, why would I know her and not him?” “Oh, you know both of them” “A hint would be helpful” “She has green hair on one side and purple on the other” “Oh, why didn’t you say so at the beginning………. what ARE you talking about?!! I don’t know anyone who has green and purple hair!” “Well, she didn’t then - that is, when you knew her.” “Well, dare I ask why she has crazy coloured hair now? I mean, wouldn’t she be in her late 50’s now?” “Uh-huh – she volunteers at her granddaughters Kindergarten class and being a retired teacher they sure do love her.” “She was a teacher?” “Yes, she was a Principal”. “Ohhhhh……… now I know who you are speaking about. Oddly enough there’s a message on voice mail for you from her, if I didn’t accidentally erase it”. “Can you remember her name?” “You’re kidding – right? Just phone her and say “Hi – it’s me - how are you? It’ll come to you as you speak.” Carole Fawcett is a counsellor, clinical hypnotherapist and freelance writer. www. amindfulconnection.

The Nor t h O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District will form a committee to review its vehicle policy after the District Parent Advisory Council expressed serious con-

cerns about the expense and use of school district vehicles. “We are going to be looking into this, into the contracts and what’s included and things like that,” said board chairperson Bobbi Johnson. In April, the DPAC

took the board to task, saying many school board vehicles are too extravagant for the need, are not properly identified as school district property and are being used inappropriately for personal purposes.

The District of Lake Country has received a $10,000 grant to got towards implementing a five-year asset management plan to help the municipality move forward with long term financial planning. The municipality is looking at developing an information management strategy (IMS) as part of the plan with the aim of identifying priority capital projects in the future. “Municipal staff have been working with elected officials and citizens to achieve fully sustainable service delivery,” said Greg Buchholz, director of infrastructure services. “Efforts continue to focus on balancing the level of service with the appropriate funding to eliminate unfunded liabilities.” Currently departments within the District of Lake Country use a variety of classification systems, storage methods, data management, access permissions and technology. “Having an information management strategy will build capacity within our organization,” said Reyna Seabrook, corporate services manager. “This project will specifically support business decision making and break down silos amongst departments, eliminate duplication and fragmented activities across the organization, and increase productivity and efficiency.” The IMS, says the district, will involve an in-depth analysis of the organization, people, processes and technology at work at the district. It will result in the development of step-bystep recommendations on how to transition to an organization-wide management system over a five-year period that is consolidated, streamlined, integrated and interfaces with GIS.

Strachan converted a corner to put Vernon in front, while Brianna Bobbitt assisted Kelsey Falk’s howitzer to the right corner for insurance. Elena Gaskell and Falk each recorded deuces and singles came from Mariya Blades, Megan Sherwood, Kelsey Carriere, Makena Kersey and Keira Correia as Vernon ambushed the Fort St. John Northern Strikers 9-1 in their opener.

Carriere controlled centre midfield, while Gabrielle Triggs, Sydney Bergman, Talia Quiring and Emilia Durfeld sparkled on the back line.

Kersey and Carly Southam turned in strong showings, while MVP went to Carriere. The Tolko United U13 boys also struck gold in the Slurpee Cup, bouncing the host Blaze 2-0 in the final on goals from Jack Cotter and James Meeks.

Vernon started with a 1-0 blanking of Terrace with MVP Ben Imrich nodding in a Grant corner and Skinner and Ben Morgan anchoring the defence. In Game 2, Vernon shaded Abbotsford 2-1 with William Oordt-Bosman burying a breakaway attempt after a feed by Matthew Reich and Oordt –Bosman converting from Grant. Kaden Funk played the game of his life on the back line for MVP. Vernon battled Richmond to a scoreless draw in their third match. Oordt-Bosman was named MVP, while defender Luke Jones was solid. Goalkeeping was shared between Reich and Liam Reid, while Brodie Fraser, Dawson Martian, Saajan Klair and Hayden Catt worked wonders in the midfield.

Jeremy Bell of Vernon, who won both the 5.0 singles and 5.0 doubles titles in 2014, was trying to successfully defend those titles.

Wingers Tania Sladen and Shauna Duncan made some great runs and crosses and Mel Jacobs had a few near misses.

It was win, lose or draw night Tuesday. And six teams chose draw in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association. Three games went without a victor, including the Chick Kickers and Shuswap Merlot, who drew 1-1 at Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Sports Complex. Things started out looking very dim for the talented Chicks as they fielded just eight players. At five minutes, centre back Stephanie Curtis arrived to bring some stability and a chance for a competitive game. The Chicks held their own on the Merlot home turf. Finally after withstanding some Merlot pressure and some great saves from goalie Sharon Storms, centre midfielder Jen Kemper stole the ball at midfield and ran like the wind untouched into a huge defensive hole and blasted a low shot to

Caden Doyle and Ike Olson provided tries for the Maroons, wh0 trailed 19-0 at the half. Jeff Han booted one penalty and one conversion, while Kyle Karens recorded one convert.

tough aggressive rugby and they had us on our heels for the entire first half. We compounded their aggression by playing awful in the first half. We were timid and made too many mistakes. It was our worst half of the season. “However, I am very proud of the way our kids rebounded in the second half. They could have packed it in, but they chose to play like champs. We took over the second half and played great. our kids showed a lot of heart in the attempted comeback.” Scheller summed up the year as stellar for a young and inexperienced group which showed steady growth.

He gave props to assistant coaches Brad Marsh, Gord Cheyne, Kelly Greene, Ben Olson and Graysen Marsh for excellent support. “Ryan Rumsey was an unsung hero for us. He was all over the field and performed well in every game. Caden Doyle led us in scoring with some nice runs. “Ike Olson was a solid player and a great tackler at 10 for us. Satchel McDermid had a solid year at scrum half and was our leader. Locks Christian Harpe and Greg Geistlinger are to be commended for great seasons.

The 2002 Stingers brushed back the Dynamo Blues 4-3 in the A final at the Vancouver Spring Hockey Challenge Cup last weekend. The team was coached by Sandy Moger of Vernon and former Vernon minor hockey product Jeff Finley, along with Brad Teale, Kevin Walters, and Brent Fairweather. Led by Vernon minor hockey products Nicholas Teale, Scott Gilowski, Tysen Fairweather, Trevor Kennedy, KT Walters, Lucas Zubrod and Cameron Moger, the Stingers gonged the Northwest Giants 6-0 in their opener.

QUEBEC CITY – With a pro-Quebec crowd of more than 10,000 expected in the seats tonight (4:30 Pacific), the atmosphere inside the storied Colisée Pepsi will be unlike anything the Kelowna Rockets have experienced this season. It’s an environment D Josh Morrissey plans to fully embrace, even if his visiting Rockets won’t be feeling much love against the host Remparts in the opening game of the Memorial Cup. “I know for myself, I’d rather play in front of a full, loud building, even if you’re not the favourite of the fans,” said the 20-year-old Calgarian. “I saw a game there when I was 12, it’s got a ton of history, it’s a great hockey city, it seems like a fun arena to play in. That’s what you want as a player. I’m excited to get back and experience that as a player.” The Remparts, who are coming off a sevengame loss this week to Rimouski in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final, will be looking

to get back on track. On the other bench, Kelowna head coach Dan Lambert said the Rockets hope to derail any such plans with a simple and focused approach. “The fans are going to be ramped up, the (Remparts) are going to be ramped right up, and hosting, the pressure probably falls on them a little bit because I’m sure they want to do well for their fans,” said Lambert, who played one NHL season with the Quebec Nordies. “In saying that, we’re not looking past the first game, we’re looking at the first period of our first game and how we want to come out and make sure we’re ready for that. That’s all that matters right now.” Rookie F Dillon Dube counts himself fortunate to playing for a national major junior hockey championship in just his first full WHL season. “It’s the most important thing a lot of us might ever do in hockey, the hardest thing to win, everybody will be bringing their best,” said Dube, 16.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should delegate jobs in order to avoid being burdened with too many responsibilities. Offer guidance and step aside. Trying to oversee everything will result in a lack of recreation time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This is a perfect day for love.

Artist shares Longview from local vantage point Jan Poynter is at the Mackie Lake House as the latest artist to take up residence Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

The air gives off the distinct smell of lilac as Jan Poynter takes in her surroundings from the verandah at the Mackie Lake House. Quails can be seen darting from shrub to bush in the distance while visitors gather on the enclosed deck to indulge on baked scones, fresh strawberries and clotted cream served with freshly brewed tea in china cups. Hosted in a true Mackie fashion, the tea is being served in honour of the seventh artist to arrive at the Coldstream heritage home. Poynter is here as part of the Mackie Lake House Foundation’s annual artist-in-residence program, and she is keen to meet with members of the public, but is also itching to get back outside to paint. Just that morning she hosted a “paint-out” with eight artists in the Mackie gardens. “I love working en plein air. I’ve been working on location since I was a kid – sketching and drawing – and have been painting seriously since I was 18,” says Poynter, as she shows one young visitor a small box in which she keeps her paints for when she is out in the field. “My (plein air) work used to be separate from my studio work. Now they’re coming together - that mark making and that looser experience from plein air is coming

into my studio.” Working in a variety of genres, which include landscapes, images of urban environments, flora, and figurative painting in addition to her drawings and illustration, Poynter tries to connect with other artists who also paint in the moment outdoors. The process is usually an organic one, she says, in that the artists usually just state the area where they will be painting and then they go from there. “When I show up with my hat and funny paint box, they know who I am,” says Poynter. “When we meet up, we don’t attach to each other - we enjoy the location and the isolation together and then we connect.” Now residing in Gibson’s Landing, Poynter has been all over the place to paint, and is often joined by her husband Brian, who is accompanying her at her residency at the Mackie House. They have lived in Invermere and also spent 10 years in Brisbane, Australia, later settling on the Sunshine Coast. “I haven’t been in the Okanagan/ Vernon area for 35 years,” said Poynter. “Vernon feels new to me although at the Mackie House it feels as if we’ve stepped back in time.” A fan of old spaces, Poynter and her husband constructed their home on the Sunshine Coast from salvaged material from a house built at the same time as the Mackie House. “When I look out the window, I think of what the people before me saw out of them,” she said. As part of her residency, Poynter will show some of the work she is creating at the Vernon Public Art Gallery in an exhibition titled The Longview – a format, an aspect, a way of thinking, which examines

Kristin Froneman/morning star

Sunshine Coast artist Jan Poynter sets up her easel and paint box on the verandah at the Mackie Lake House. Poynter is in the area for the month of May as the Mackie Lake House Foundation’s artist in residence. nature from a different viewpoint. “I have been looking at the character and geology of the landscape and the flora. I am trying to feature them in another kind of way,” she said. “I am playing with depth of field, looking through the trees, fine tuning the landscape and then laying in the finished work over top.” The works come in various formats from large canvasses to small original gouache paintings that are mounted and sealed on a six-by-six inch blocks. The work reflects a number of

ecosystems that Poynter has experienced in her travels around B.C. “I love going across B.C., going through the rainforest and seeing the moss of the coast then getting through the Coastal mountains to the pines, grass and openness of the Interior,” she said. “I love the character and uniqueness of trees. In winter, I love to see the bones of the trees and I always build my trees up from their structure and then leaf them out.” Poynter is showing her exhibition at the Vernon Public Art

Gallery along with the UBCO BFA Graduation Exhibition: Shelf Life and late Vernon artist Andrea Toth’s posthumous exhibition, Heaven’s Above. A reception takes place Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. Poynter will also give an artist talk at the VPAG May 30 at 1 p.m. She is at the Mackie Lake House until May 31 and returns to Vernon June 27 to 28 to give a workshop at the Vernon Community Arts Centre (register at the VCAC).

You won’t be confused at this state of affairs

f you can’t laugh at your prime minister, then who can you laugh at? That’s the question posed by the creator of the new locally written and produced play State of Confusion, currently taking the stage at the Schubert Centre. Vernon playwright/director Michael Poirier’s latest offering from Back Stage Theatre has its funny moments. In fact, it mixes humour along with a bit of politics, not so much in that Air Farce/Rick Mercer kind

of way, with impersonations and rants, but with a cute story about a fictional prime minister, his daughter, and the boy who comes between them. State of Confusion is really a story about Kristin Froneman personal relationships – the tagline here is: “Running a country is

THEATRE REVIEW

easy; raising a teenager is complicated.” The play opens as sweet 16-year-old hockey player Mathew Cave (Disney-aged Ryan Gosling look-alike Gavin Opp, who embodies the role) meets a young, shy woman at the rink after his game. There is an instant attraction between the two, despite the fact she has a “buff ” guy in aviator glasses standing over her, watching her every move. Eventually it’s revealed the girl is, in fact, the daughter of the prime minister,

Elizabeth Cauldwell (the endearing Starling Taylor), and the guy in dark glasses is her poker-faced bodyguard Carl Wagner (scene stealer Gabe Newman). Mathew is unfazed and promptly tells Elizabeth that his father is also a leader, of a construction firm in Ottawa. This fish-out-of-water story really starts when the two arrange to meet at the “Man Cave,” make that Mathew’s home.

Comedy takes backbench view of family politics Continued from B1

Working class dad Wendell “Dell” Cave (the delightfully expressive Neil Morrison) lords over his manor with the tube turned on to a perpetual hockey game, beer in hand. Actually, his wife, the likeable and to-thepoint Helen (equally likeable Kristine Larsen) is alongside her husband on the couch, lording over him. Dell’s reaction to his son dating the prime

minister’s daughter, let alone a Conservative prime minister, has him exclaiming to Elisabeth, “You’re young, you have time for therapy.” Those jabs continue when the big guy himself, Steven Cauldwell (played in perfect bombastic fashion by Martin Niedballa), shows up at the Cave house to fetch his daughter. Like a certain PM, Cauldwell is from Calgary, supports the Flames, and has policies

YOUR BEST SHOT

that you may agree or not agree with. He turns up his nose when offered a Molson’s, asking the Caves if they have any Guinness. In other words he’s refined, or at least thinks he is, and is none-to-pleased that his daughter is dating a peon, or that she is dating at all. The reigns are kept on pretty tight when it comes to his family. Cauldwell eventually sees how his ways are affecting his daughter, thanks to the protective bodyguard, who has his own side story, and Helen Cave, who doesn’t

give the PM any peace especially when she rips into him about some of his policies. The banter between the characters holds your attention. However, though its set in the present, the play does come off as a tad dated, mostly in the set decor, with its plush pucecoloured couch and orange paint, which I’m told was meant to reflect the fact the Caves have been in their home for a long time. However, I felt there were other things that were a tad dated. I mean, who supports

the Leafs (as Dell does) these days??? And I think some of the political issues that were brought up could have reflected more of today’s concerns - women’s and First Nations land rights notwithstanding– the mission in Afghanistan, oil sand/pipeline controversy, and senate scandal are only glanced over, if at all. But, hey this is a comedy, so we’ll let those political dogs lie. State of Confusion continues as a dinner theatre presentation at the Schubert Centre tonight and Saturday.

Snoop dogg: Bush

alifornia rapper, Snoop Dogg’s 13th album is a mellow and confident take on hip-hop infused R&B. Snoop (née Calvin Broadus) teams up with producer Pharrell Williams to bring on some top flight collaborations (Stevie Wonder and Gwen Stefani). But Williams and Snoop have enough funky chemistry to make Bush seem like a match-up rather than a solo Dogg album. Bush is less herb-a-centric than many of Snoop Dogg’s past releases. This could be due Dean Gordon-Smith to the influence of Williams and co-producer Chad Hugo, who bring an extra texture of smooth funk to Snoop’s songs and rhymes. Williams’ stamp is all over the album and it makes Snoop’s presence blend into the tracks subtly. But Snoop’s wry voice has more character and presence than technique, so he’ll always be heard. Plus he’s not shy about sharing the stage. His song with Stevie Wonder on harmonica (California Roll) is a slow motion party track that indulges Snoop’s glam funk fetish. Peaches N Cream follows this groove with ultra smooth hooks, boosting Snoop’s easy going performance – a warm R&B/ pop track with too much charm to ignore. Humour is ever present on Bush with the semiserious delivery that’s a trademark of Snoop’s arsenal. The cartoonish delivery and slick songs meet in the middle and the result is dance floor “git”-down or happy-faced, inner-city cruising – take your pick. There are no ego-driven appearances on Bush and the music isn’t edgy, but the creativity and relentless pulse make it a short blast of Snoop- style funk rap.

Bellas remain Aca-OK Pitch Perfect 2

ollegiate a cappella group the Barden Bellas have made themselves outcasts due to an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during a performance at the Lincoln Center in front of the president of the United States. To be reinstated as competitive singers and regain their honour, the Bellas must travel to Copenhagen to compete against the best a cappella groups in the world. We say, “Music and laughter wins out in Pitch Perfect 2.” TAYLOR: The gang is back: Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, the rest, plus a couple of new characters. I liked the B story of Kendrick interning for a record producer in preparation for life after graduation. It helped move the characters along in their lives since we last saw them in the original film.

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

I don’t know that they’ll make another one. This felt like a conclusion, but then again, if a film makes money another one just like it will be made. I enjoyed Pitch Perfect 2 as much

as its predecessor. HOWE: How often does a sequel come along and be as good as, if not better than, the original? This has to be one of the funnier movies I have seen in a long time. After seeing the trailer so many times, I was dreading this a little, as they always show the best bits. But I found there are classy laughs throughout and it kept me thoroughly entertained from start to finish. Most of the laughs are delivered by Fat Amy

(Wilson) but it was commentators John (John Michael Higgins) and Gail (Elizabeth Banks) that had me chuckling and smiling with their witty one liners. They were perfect. TAYLOR: Banks also directed the film, which makes it her feature film directorial debut (we won’t count her direction of a segment in the awful Movie 43). I too thought the commentators had some of the best jokes, although there are a lot of different types of humour in the film: physical, rude, sexual, awkward, weird. There were also many subtle jokes, spoken quietly as the girls walked away at the end of a scene. Adding jokes in postproduction and improvising while filming tweaks in today’s comedy films and TV shows. Writers, actors, directors, even editors fire as many jokes as possible hoping that some of them stick. Fortunately this goofball gaggle of girls

Film picks up where Hope and Glory left off For The Morning Star

The hilarious highlight of director John Boorman’s 1987 Hope and Glory was nine-yearold Bill Rohan rejoicing in the destruction of his school by an errant Luftwaffe bomb. Queen and Country, showing Monday by the Vernon Film Society, picks up the story nearly a decade later. Newcomer Callum Turner is Bill Rohan, just old enough in 1953 to be conscripted for the Korean War. He fears combat, but instead is made an instant sergeant and is sent to the typing pool, where he suffers under a tyrannical noncom played by David Thewlis. The barracks banter is entertaining, especially once Bill’s scallywag friend Percy, played by Caleb Landry Jones, enters the picture as

remains a little boy with big dreams. But when he is faced with war once again, he begins to see the facts from a different perspective. When problems escalate, he must choose what is more important - love, friendship, or his beloved Queen and country. The beautiful soundtrack clearly reflects the mood and Merlin FilMs environment of the film, making From the blitzkrieg to the Korean the movie even more sentimental War, the young boy of Hope and and sad. Queen and Country is a Glory, Bill Rohan (Callum Turner), solid drama which successfully returns in Queen and Country. avoids the clichés and does not a draftee who pushes the bookish allow the story to become boring and predicable. Bill into more risky behaviour. Queen and Country screens Some of this is with workingclass lasses at a nearby nursing Monday at the Towne Cinema at school, but Bill sets his hopes the regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 on a posh “bird” who repeatedly p.m. Tickets are $7 (cash only), available at the Towne Cinema warns him off. However, in his heart, Bill and the Bean Scene coffee house.

are affable enough and I even enjoyed most of the songs. HOWE: Pitch Perfect 2 does a lot of things right for a PG-13 film. There’s no swearing and that’s quite an achievement nowadays. There is a little toilet humour, but it is over in a few seconds. It’s mostly the banter between the cast that keeps it ticking along nicely. Pitch Perfect 2 scores a high note. – Taylor gives Pitch Perfect 2 3.5 guest star appearances out of 5. – Howe gives it 4 gift cards out of 5.

Music series starts at Caetani Morning Star Staff

The Caetani Cultural Centre is hosting its second annual Summer Music Series the last Sunday of the month, May to September, from 2 to 4 p.m. Each concert will featudure talented Okanagan musical acts on the historic Caetani grounds in Vernon. The series kicks off May 31 with a special Raise the Stage fundraiser, featuring performances by modern Celtic band Cod Gone Wild and the Okanagan Celtic Choir. Proceeds from the by donation event will go towards the building of a stage area at the bottom of the natural amphitheatre in front of the Caetani house. “It was evident after last year’s music series that we needed a level playing surface on site for our performers,” said music series coordinator Andrew Mercer, adding the community has already graciously stepped up with donations of supplies, services and labour. “As a non-profit society, we would never have been able to start this project, without this tremendous community support and volunteerism. As a result, we will have a working playing surface in place by the May 31 concert.”

Concert goers are encouraged to bring blankets, folding chairs, and a picnic to enjoy the family-friendly series. A selection of refreshments and goodies will be available for purchase and admission to all concerts is by donation. Proceeds go to the performing artists and will contribute to capital projects and program development at the Caetani centre. There is no parking available on the grounds. Attendees are asked to park in the vicinity and walk to the property at 3401 Pleasant Valley Rd. Other concerts in the series are as follows: – June 28: Women of Song; Celebrating local female performing artists, featuring Anjuli Otter, Betty Anne Northup, Betty Johnson, and Carolyn Anele.

Students join Relay for Life Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

When teacher Michelle Freebairn asked her students if they would like to take part in Relay for Life, she was met with an enthusiastic response. Freebairn is a teacher in School District 22’s Alternative Learning Program (ALP) and she was looking for a project for her students to get involved in, to give them the opportunity to experience some fundraising and community events. “It’s all part of our leadership program and thanks to Kidston and Company, we have been able to register all of our students in the Relay for Life in Vernon on June 6,” said Freebairn. “Currently, we are working on planning a variety of fundraisers where our students will collect donations as well as sell crafts they have produced. “I’ve tried to let the kids themselves direct the project based on what they want to make.” Brooklyn Monroe and Maariah Williams-Baig are two of the 32 students who have signed up for the annual Relay for Life, a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. Students have been busy making a variety of items to be sold as fundraisers throughout the community, including greeting cards, dream catchers, key chains and jewellery. “I’m enjoying it because it gets me close with people here, and it is a cause close to my heart because my mom has cancer and my great-grandma had breast cancer,” said Williams-Baig, 14. For Monroe, 15, Relay for Life also has a personal meaning: her grandfather lost his battle with cancer, and her grandma has been diagnosed with the disease. “Everyone has been touched by cancer,” said Monroe, who has made some cross-stitched pieces to sell, along with bracelets and necklaces.

Brooklyn Monroe makes handcrafted jewellery to sell as a fundraiser for Relay for Life, in which students in the Alternative Learning Program are participating through their leadership program. ALP serves students from Grades 8 to 10 who are unable to find success in typical district high schools for a variety of reasons. Freebairn said getting involved in Relay for Life has been a great way of having her students engage with the community. “A lot of the kids here have dealt with a lot of stuff in their lives, so for me it’s a way to have them engage with the community, to allow them to see things in a different light,” she said. “All the kids here are very resilient, but regardless of what they have been through, they are here to work. “We run a very structured program so this gives them a chance to interact in a fun way.” For Williams-Baig, who was previously at Vernon secondary school, being at ALP has given her a fresh start. “I find it easier to focus at ALP and they teach us at our own level,” she said. “Before, I could not ask for help because I was too embarrassed.” For Monroe, the program’s smaller classes and personal-

It’s been much better — here I get my work done.”

The students have two upcoming fundraisers. They will be at the downtown Safeway May 28 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., selling their handcrafted items by donation to Relay for Life, and at Walmart June 2. Relay for life is June 6 at Polson Park from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

An ‘Olive Branch’ for children in Tanzania Morning Star Staff

The Olive Branch for Children is a Canadian charity providing services for people in one of the poorest regions of rural Tanzania. Created by Deborah McCracken, a young Ontario woman with a master’s degree in English literature, the Olive Branch provides medical services, support, education and home care to 600 people with HIV/AIDS. It provides food for the incapacitated and seeds for the able-bodied. McCracken has helped establish incomegenerating communal gardens, fish ponds, cassava farms, and as well has established 28 Montessori preschools, widows’ groups, food security classes, and HIV/AIDS testing and education. The Olive Branch for Children supports two homes for children living with HIV/ AIDS or who have suffered extreme medical or psychological issues. The Zion Home (located in Mbeya city) and Peace Home (located in Mswiswi) are geared toward helping the most marginalized children to become empowered and become the voices of change and hope. In addition to medical care, the children are provided with a healthy and happy environment, nutritional food and education. The orphanage was the primary focus of McCracken’s recent talk at the Essentialist Church of Christ.

“There are 31 children, half with AIDS,” said Vera Isaac, with the Vernon church. “In an inadequate rented facility, the Olive Branch offers them a family setting, education, medical assistance and deep caring. “Deborah described being asked by a Tanzanian government agency to take in an 11-year-old boy with serious heart abnormalities who was not expected to live. She felt the orphanage had little to offer but brought the situation to the children, explaining that for the first time she would have to decline taking a child. One of the orphans, a nine-year-old boy, said ‘We do have something to give. We can love him til he dies.’ And this they did. “Deborah is a young woman overflowing with creativity and practical action. She uses it to solve impossibly difficult situations with the children and families she serves through the Olive Branch.” McCracken has accumulated sufficient funds to build a permanent home for the children but lacks building expertise. To help get the project up and running, a Vernon builder has volunteered his talent and expertise. To help support the Olive Branch building project, the Essentialist Church of Christ is holding a fundraising garage and bake sale Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at 2001-45th Ave., Vernon.

Collector has won the postal ‘lottery’ Morning Star Staff

A stamp collector has won what amounts to the postal “lottery.” A set of stamps issued by Canada Post in March 2015, designed by Kelowna artist Laurie Koss, has been discovered with a significant printing flaw. The two stamps issued as part of the 2015 floral series are based on Koss’ paintings of a purple ice and blue pansy. The stamps were issued in a miniature sheet, and four sheets have been found where the perforations cut right through the design. “These errors are very rare and can be worth several hundred to several thousand dollars,” said Mark Oakley, with the Okanagan Mainline

Philatelic Association. “For example, one of the most famous Canadian errors is the 1959 St. Lawrence Seaway stamp which has a catalogue value of $16,000.” Oakley said the value of the Pansy error is yet to be determined as none have been offered for sale. “Finding a stamp error is one of the great thrills in stamp collecting — it’s something everyone dreams about, but like winning the lottery, happens to only a very few and lucky collectors,” said Oakley. As Koss said when describing her design of the blue pansy, “Blue flowers in gardens are extremely rare.” Just like the blue pansy, so too this stamp error is a rare find.

Sloane Crosley, an essayist, wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to think that nails-down-achalkboard was the worst sound in the world. Then I moved on to people-eatingcereal-on-the-phone. But only this week did I stumble across the rightful winner: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sound of a baggage carousel coming to a grinding halt, having reunited every passenger on your flight with their luggage, except for you.â&#x20AC;? No doubt we can all relate to that. You stand there for ages, hoping against hope not to be disappointed. At the bridge table, many play their cards as if their suitcase were the first to appear on the carousel.

They take no time to consider the possibilities. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, how can the defenders defeat four spades after West leads his diamond ace? Note Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advance of his partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s takeout double. By an unpassed hand, a simple suit bid shows only 0-8 points. With 9-11 points, the advancer must jump in his suit. Yes, South wishes he had a five-card suit, but one has to make the best of the situation. Here, North has an easy raise to four spades. The first key play comes at trick one. East must drop his queen under Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ace. This shows the queen and the jack (or a very unlikely singleton queen). Now West must resist the temptation to play another diamond.

Instead, he should shift to his singleton heart. South will win the trick and play a trump, but West can take that trick and continue with a low diamond. East wins with his jack, and it should be the work of a moment for him to return a heart, which West ruffs to defeat the contract.

A uniquely Indian and grand car show By Nigel Matthews

an incredible purchasing power and only bought the finest products, particularly when it came to cars. A quarter of the Rolls-Royce production between 1912 and 1947 went to India.

India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier “Travel with Style” Concours d’Elegance. This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry. The opulence and elegance of India’s long-standing automotive legacy has returned to India thanks to the vision and hard work of the event creator and director, Mark Shand, a British travel writer and conservationist. Sadly, he died in 2014 and he was dearly missed at this year’s event.

‘‘

Having lost a number of significantly important cars, the Indian Government put measures into place to protect their automotive heritage by eliminating the export of cars from India. It is also extremely difficult to import a vehicle manufactured after Jan 1st 1950 into the country without being subjected to as unique and much as 181 percent duty.

It is it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The other person responsible for the event is the renowned Indian automotive historian and expert, His Highness Rana Manvendra Singh of Barwani who hand picks some of the rarest restored and preserved vintage automobiles from across India.

Manvendra was very successful in persuading some of the diffident owners to display their automobiles, in some cases, vehicles that have not been publicly viewed before.

To summarize the event, it is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage, unlike Pebble Beach. Vehicles are not shipped to India from all over the world because only vehicles from within India can enter. I hope that it remains that way because this is what makes it so special, celebrating the distinctiveness of India’s post-Independence automotive heritage. It gives people a chance to see some magnificent cars from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted private collectors, who can be seen walking around the Polo field as others participate in the catered and afternoon high tea.

’’

The Cartier Concours, which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collectors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. Having visited a restoration shop in Kolkata, I have to mention that the quality of workmanship. Given the equipment that they have, it is amazing and absolutely first class. It is obviously driven by a great deal of passion and pride. India has a very rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton. The following year there were four cars in Bombay. Jamshedji Tata an Indian pioneer industrialist, who founded the Tata Group, which has grown into India’s largest conglomerate company, owned one of them. Ratan Tata, who is the great grandson of the company founder and Chairman Emeritus of Tata & Son, was at the Concours and enjoying a personal inspection of the cars on display as we performed our judging duties. Tata purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008 for $2.6 billion. I’m sure Mr. Tata enjoyed viewing the 1951 Jaguar MKV, it’s a pity there weren’t any old Series I Land Rovers present.

Cars designed to reduce the Shanghai smog By Zack Spencer

Visiting China can make your head spin; from the number of people to the sights and smells, even the impact to the environment is all a bit overwhelming. Shanghai was the sight of China’s big 2015 auto show, alternating each year with Beijing. The difference between the two cities is vast. Beijing might be the capital but Shanghai is the bright light of capitalism that is the symbol, to the rest of the world, of just how quickly this country has changed.

‘‘

The problem is that clear days are few and far between due to the suffocating pollution that can blanket this country.

’’

The traditional section of Shanghai is called the Bund, Zack Spencer with colonial buildings facing the Huangpu River and the financial centre, across the river, called Pudong. It’s hard to believe but this section of the city was farmland 20 years ago. It’s now home to some of the tallest towers anywhere in the world. The Shanghai Tower will open to the public this summer and it is 640 metres tall, which is more than three times taller than the tallest building in Vancouver and almost 100 metres taller than the CN Tower. The second tallest building was open for this trip and at 492 metres provided stunning views on a clear day.

OWN IT WITH

On one hand, it is fascinating to see a city of 24 million people charging towards the western lifestyle but it is a sad that progress is crowding traditional China. Visiting ancient temples and gardens is wonderful but you are always reminded of the 21st century. Just in the background is yet another high-rise being built for the throngs of newcomers to the big city from the countryside. Let’s hope the auto industry can help alleviate some of the air quality problems. But to do so it will require the population to embrace these more environmentally friendly cars as much as it has embraced change in other aspects of Chinese life. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

The auto manufacturers used the show to highlight new technology that will help cut vehicle pollution. For example, VW showcased the C Coupe GTE concept that looked ready to roll. This car would only be available in China and bring a level of luxury not found in other VWs here. It has a plug-in hybrid system that helps provide the best of both city and highway driving modes.

The government might be trying to eliminate air pollution but there seems to be no curbing the fake versions of import brands.

Since China is now the largest new car market in the world, with more than 18 million vehicles sold each year, the push is on to limit the number of cars on the road and promote cleaner solutions. The city of Shanghai charges massive licensing fees for each car on the road. In some other cities you can either drive on even or odd days.

The Shanghai show is massive, with eight enormous halls showcasing brands from all over the world, including more than 100 domestic brands we will never see on our side of the of the world. Some domestic brands are doing exciting things but China is also known for some vehicles that look so much like existing brands, they could be called knock-offs or “genuine imitations”.

Dealer is reimbursed a holdback amount included in invoice price by the manufacturer for each vehicle sold*.

FOR UP TO

FINANCING†

The problem is that clear days are few and far between due to the suffocating pollution that can blanket this country. The source of the smog are the many factories that build the endless items the world buys, plus the coal-fired energy and steel plants that make it all work.

The idea is to use up to 50 kilometres of electric range in the city, then switching to a gasoline/electric hybrid system outside of the city. Audi also showcased a production plug-in hybrid called the Q7 e-tron, which is a large SUV with a small turbocharged gasoline engine married to an electric motor. Just like the VW concept, it can run on pure electric power thus reducing tailpipe emissions.

HRUSCHAK, Metro It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Metro Hruschak on May 15, 2015. Metro was born in Smokey Lake, Alberta on November 8, 1933. He worked in road construction his entire life on most of the highways in BC until retiring in 1998. He was the co-founder of Vernon Paving. After retiring Metro moved from Armstrong to Vernon. In his spare time he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, playing cards and watching hockey. Metro is survived by his wife Ileine; daughters, Rosalind, Wendy, Corinne (Cam); Holly; Cindy (Graham); and one son, Kenny (Stephanie) as well as 4 grandaughters, 7 grandsons and 8 greatgrandchildren. He was predeceased by two sons, Dusty in 1954 and Rocky in 1980. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home at 4303 Pleasant Valley Rd, Vernon, BC on Saturday, May 23, 2015 at 2:00 pm. No formal attire as Metro never liked wearing a suit and tie! In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations towards a memorial at Heritage Square Care Home in Metro’s memory. Please forward donations to Ileine or Kenny.

HARRIS, GWENDOLYN Gwendolyn Harris, known to her family as Nana the Great, died peacefully on May 12, 2015 at Hillside Village, her home for the past five years. Born on August 4, 1914, she was the good news on an otherwise bleak day in world history. Her family had deep roots in Manitoba. Her grandfather was Chief Factor for the Hudson’s Bay Company at Lower Fort Garry and her family was held prisoner for three months and marched through the Manitoba wilderness during the Riel Uprising. In 1932 she moved with her parents to Vernon, where she caught the fancy of Frank Harris, whom she married in 1940. Harris, as publisher of the Vernon News from the 1940’s until the paper was sold to the Thompson chain in 1970, relied on her unfailing support, not just in business, but in furthering the growth and development of Vernon and in raising their two children. Their home was constantly open to their many friends and to the community they both loved. She was a consummate hostess. Gwen was predeceased by her son, John Rogan Harris, in 1967, her husband in 1997, and her sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Alleyn Harris, and her nephew Ron. She is survived by her daughter, Lynne, and husband Ian Wickett, her granddaughters Claire, husband Eric Hyndman and her great grandchildren Molly, Nolan and Ellie; Darcy, husband Brad Calkins and her great grandchildren Sam, Max, Katy and Ian; and Allison, husband Matt Karns and her great grandchildren Rogan and Lily, and her nephew, Bill Harris, his wife Fran and their family. On June 6, Gwen and Frank will join their son John in the family plot in the Vernon Cemetery, to be followed by a tea in Gwen’s honour at her family’s home in Salmon Arm. We are so grateful to the Hillside staff for the love and care they provided to Gwen throughout her stay with them, for the thoughtful care provided by her medical community, and, of course, to Martha Wickett for her ongoing support and love. Online condolences may be sent through Gwendolyn’s obituary at bowersfuneralservice.com

Robert (Bob) Stagg February 16, 1948 May 14, 2015

Bob was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the Navy where he served for 3 years. After discharge he settled in Victoria and went to work for Canadian Telephones and Supplies. While on the job, he met Sharon, the love of his life. In 1993, Bob transferred to Kelowna and a job with TELUS. He and Sharon bought their first of many homes together in 1994, and brought home their first “child”, Katie, a year later. In 2003, after 33 years of service, Bob retired from the telecommunications industry. Retirement was spent traveling to Hawaii in the falls, mowing lawns and laying by the pool in the summers, as well as spreading cheer (and groans) via email jokes throughout the year. He survived a major health scare in 2007, which forced some serious lifestyle changes on him, but he took them all in stride and surpassed all expectations. Sadly, a different disease would take his life in less than four weeks after diagnosis. May 14, 2015, after a very brief struggle with Cancer, Bob passed away peacefully. He is survived by his “darling” Sharon, sisters Lois (Bill) Seggie, Phyllis (Peter) Fletcher, “kids” Maggie, Jake, Abby and countless extended family and friends. There will be no service, by request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Okanagan Hospice Society would be appreciated, and remembrances may be sent to the family at mauimama@shaw.ca

BERNICE DOREEN CRIPPS (MOSER)

August 1, 1938-May 13, 2015 Bernice, best friend and ‘mom’ to many, surrounded by family and close friends, closed her eyes for the last time Wednesday morning. Predeceased by her soulmate Gerry Vesterfelt in 2011, she is missed by all those who held a place in her heart. She is survived by her brothers Robert Moser(Vernette) of Kamloops and James(Olivia) of the Lower Mainland. Bernice’s three children, Stan Alstad (Christine Daley-Alstad), W.Tod Alstad (Teresa), both of Kelowna, and Marilyn Menard (Randy) of Cranbrook, are reassured Mom is at peace.

Alvina (Vina) Cull

(nee Roy) It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Vina Cull on May 17, 2015, at her home in Vernon, BC. Born on August 11, 1939, in Mission, BC, Vina will be dearly missed by her son Tyler Cull (Shelly), grand daughter MacKenzie; sister Donna Spanier, sister-in-law Barb Horne, and nieces and nephews John, Shawn and Angela Spanier, and Shannon, Craig, and Michelle Horne. Vina was preceded by her son Corey Cull, mom Lorraine Turner and step-dad George Turner, brother Brian Roy, and brother-inlaws Val Spanier and Grant Horne. Vina was a classy and impeccably dressed lady, who never left the house without her hair done, nails polished, and a coordinated outfit with matching earrings and shoes. Throughout her life, Vina’s greatest pleasure came from socializing with her wonderful, caring, and supportive network of friends. She also cherished her large extended close-knit family and looked forward to every opportunity that brought them together. In recent years, it was the precious visits from her long-awaited grand child MacKenzie that filled her heart with love and joy. As her son, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the overwhelming amount of love and support extended to my family since my mom’s passing. Friends and family are invited to a Celebration of Life at the Schubert Centre (3505 30th Avenue, Vernon), beginning at 1 pm on May 30, 2015. In lieu of flowers, friends wishing to do so may make donations in memory of Vina to The Salvation Army – House of Hope and Food Bank (3303 32nd Avenue, Vernon, BC, V1T 2M7)

She passed away peacefully and with no pain at 11:15pm on the evening of Friday the 15th of May, 2015 in the Palliative Care unit at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon, Sask. after a 5 year battle with cancer. She fought courageously for so long and she is finally at peace. She is survived by her loving husband of almost 15 years, Robert Brian James Farries of Saskatoon, Sask., and her parents Doug & Ann Mason, and brother Tye Mason, all of Vernon, B.C. The family expresses special thanks to the caregivers at the Palliative Care Unit, St. Paul’s Hospital for making the last few days of Amanda’s life as good as they were. They also wish to express special thanks to the Saskatoon Cancer Centre and all the care they gave her, enabling Amanda to live the additional 5 years that she did. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Saskatoon Cancer Centre will be gratefully accepted. There will be a funeral to celebrate her life at Christ Church Anglican in Saskatoon, Sask. on Thursday the 21st of May, 2015 at 2pm.
