Region in spotlight for starring role RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan has hit the big screen. Disney’s Tomorrowland, partially shot in Grindrod, opened in theatres on Friday, while Go With Me, which was also filmed in the region, has been marketed at a prestigious trade fair in Europe. “It’s really amazing. Word is getting around,” said John Trainor, an Armstrong resident and Okanagan Film Commission chairperson. Trainor and film commissioner Jon Summerland attended Tomorrowland’s premiere in Vancouver Thursday. “It’s definitely a family movie and there’s lots of interesting special effects. The audience enjoyed it,” said Trainor. “It (premiere) was cool. It was a who’s who of Vancouver and lots of film industry people were there.” Missing was the star, George Clooney. “There was a rumour he’d be there but he didn’t show,” said Trainor. Clooney and the rest of the cast and crew were in the North Okanagan in the summer of 2013, and the region is profiled early on in the film. “There is a very cool scene, that I actually watched be shot, where a young George Clooney comes in on a jetpack and crashes,” said Trainor. “The farm house and farm and certainly the hills around Enderby are recognizable. There were also back roads in Armstrong I recognized.” At the same time that Tomorrowland is turning heads in theatres, another movie with North Okanagan links is also garnering attention. The trailer for Go With Me was featured at the film industry’s sales market in Cannes, France. “We were meeting with international film distributors who want to look at your movie,” said Rick Dugdale, producer and president of Hollywood-based Enderby Entertainment, which is named after his hometown. Go With Me, which stars Anthony Hopkins, was filmed in Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon in late 2014. “Everyone is extremely excited,” said Dugdale of the response to the trailer. “They are seeing the look of the film

More action plays well overseas.” It’s anticipated the film will be shown at a Canadian film festival soon and distribution plans for North America are being put together. It could be released in February or March. “No matter what happens, we will show it in Vernon,” said Dugdale. Post-production is taking place in Sweden and Hopkins has been following the process with keen interest. “When the lead cast is happy, we have executed what we hoped to do,” said Dugdale. Trainor is convinced more major films will come to the region, particularly after attending Tomorrowland’s premiere. “The director and producer were impressed with the local crews and that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “It’s a great place to film a movie. It’s a very professional place to shoot.” It has been suggested that Tomorrowland could pump $91 million into B.C.’s economy. “I wish we would give a little more due

said Trainor. “We have an operating budget under $200,000 and we bring tens of millions into the Okanagan.”

Premier backs Stickle reversal richard rolke
Morning Star Staff
B.C.’s premier insists the Ministry of Transportation was right to abandon controversial plans for a dangerous Vernon intersection. Christy Clark says she is well aware of the opposition from residents, local leaders and businesses to preventing left-turns on to Highway 97 from Stickle Road. Christy Clark “I’ve heard it loud and clear from (MLA) Eric Foster,” said Clark, who was at Predeator Ridge Resort for a Liberal Party event Thursday. “He’s done a diligent job of expressing the concerns of constituents.”
The Ministry of Transportation had proposed only allowing right-in, right-out movements at the intersection to reduce the risk of accidents. However, many businesses along the Swan Lake corridor indicated that would drive away customers and there was a concern from residents that it would make it difficult for them to access the highway. “They (ministry) will rework the plan and come back with something people want,” said Clark. “People will get a chance to see the plan.” Residents, businesses and community politicians are lobbying for a traffic signal at the intersection. On another matter, the Regional District of North Okanagan board wants the provincial government to restrict access to watersheds and increase enforcement. There have been recent problems with
off-road vehicles on the Grizzly, Aberdeen, Haddo and King Edward dams, which serve Greater Vernon. “It’s something we’re concerned about across the province,” said Clark, adding that she is interested in discussing the issue further with the regional district. Clark’s trip to the North Okanagan comes at the same time that the NDP has taken the reins of power in Alberta and the federal NDP are topping the polls in B.C. However, Clark says she doesn’t believe those scenarios reflect on the provincial political scene. “I haven’t taken seriously a single poll since May 2013 (election) when they were proven to be wrong,” she said. “Voters make their own decisions and they make it on election day. Government decisions should be driven by the principles we believe in and that has nothing to do with polling.”
The man who left a Vernon nurse paralyzed following a December motor vehicle accident has been sentenced to jail time. Michael Timothy George Heeley, 22, of Vernon, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Court records show Heeley received a sentence Thursday in Vernon Provincial Court of nearly three years in jail – 968 days – and a 10-year driving prohibition for his part in an accident that left Robin Orcherton, a wife and mother, a quadriplegic. Two other counts against Heeley were stayed. On Dec. 3, 2014, at around 5:30 p.m., Vernon RCMP responded to a two-vehicle accident at 39th Avenue and Alexis Park Drive. Orcherton, a licensed practical nurse, was on her way home to her family after her shift at a Vernon seniors residence. She was stopped at a red light at the intersection when her vehicle was struck by a Jeep which Vernon RCMP said, after the accident, had been reported stolen and its driver had been spotted running from the scene. Vernon RCMP officers worked on evidence from the crash scene and on leads from the public for two months before arresting Heeley in February. For Tina Berg, a friend and colleague of Orcherton, the sentence isn’t surprising. “I don’t think in these cases family and friends ever feel like justice is served,” said Berg. “I think Robin’s husband summed it up by saying three years for him versus a life sentence for Robin hardly seems fair. Unless by a miracle Robin was put back into her life as it was, justice really isn’t ever possible. “I hope that young man spends some time thinking about life and the tragedy he has caused.” Family, friends and co-workers have been rallying around Orcherton. They launched an online fundraiser to help with costs which, to date, has raised more than $16,000 on gofundme.com.

Family praises safety upgrades RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Significant upgrades have occurred on a rural Lumby road after a tragic accident. Shuswap River Drive, near the dam, has been widened and concrete barriers have been installed where Gregg Fisher, 69, died when his truck left the road June 14, 2014 and plunged into the Shuswap River. “It’s pretty amazing,” said brother Richard Fisher of the Ministry of Transportation project. “I knew they would put in a barrier but I didn’t expect the spectacular work they did.” The work includes 50 to 60 yards of large concrete blocks and widening the road by an

Man dies after falling into lake Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a Vernon man who died following an incident on Okanagan Lake. David Gilbert Jones, 82, was repairing a mast on a sailboat at the Vernon Yacht Club Thursday morning when he was witnessed
to fall from the ladder he was using. “He struck the rigging and parts of the boat and then fell into the lake. He was able to swim to the dock but became unresponsive as he arrived there,” said Larry Marzinzik, coroner. “Bystanders rescued him from
the water, but he was not able to be resuscitated.” Jones was a realtor, actively involved in Vernon’s cultural scene and was a Vernon councillor in 1987. The coroners service and the RCMP continue to investigate this death.

“We don’t want a hodge-podge of stuff.”
— Shawn Shishido needs to establish a formal process for groups wanting to develop public art, including whether it is something the city wants and where it should be located. “Is is consistent with the vision of the community?” he said. “We don’t want to end up with a hodgepodge of stuff but a more cohesive vision.” The issue arose after Grindrod-based Runaway Moon Theatre presented city council with a model for a calendar art project.
The structure would be about seven feet tall, with a concrete base that is 10-feet-by-10feet. It was originally proposed that the statue would go by the chamber of commerce office. However, Shishido says there are some concerns about that location. “We use that area for particular community events and it’s a fairly large piece of art,” he said. “There are concerns about esthetics and does it accommodate
other users? There may be other more appropriate places for the art.” Runaway Moon’s concept is for a cylindrical structure, with seven sections that can be rotated independently by the viewer. “It will be created by professional builders and community members led by Runaway Moon,” said Cathy Stubington, theatre spokesperson, in a recent interview. “Each of these wheels depicts the seasonal order of events in nature that take place here: the arrivals and departures of birds, events in the annual cycles of trees, food production, tools used by people at different times of year, the cycle of fish in the river, and water levels.”

“What is the regional district’s role in supporting cultural services in the community?” said Tannis Nelson, community development coordinator. One of the issues that arose during the discussions was taxation and the residents ability to support culture. “We have to look at public capacity, because without public capacity, you don’t know what you can fit in,” said Dirk. “If you have no boundaries, it will grow and grow.” Director Catherine Lord
indicated that moving in a different cultural direction could restrict funding for existing initiatives. “If we go for an art gallery within the same (financial) envelope, something has to drop off the table,” she said. With the committee’s focus on guidelines for existing cultural services, there was no discussion Thursday about a new art gallery or museum. “The contemplation of new facilities is not going away but that will come when it comes,” said director Bob Fleming.

Rodeo company sued TIM PETRUK Kamloops This Week
A Vernon rodeo company is being sued after a bull named Slow Poke failed to live up to his name and allegedly caused serious injuries to a novice rider. Kyle Warman has filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops accusing Coyote Creek Rodeo and its two principals — Ted and Wade Marchand — of negligence resulting in serious injury. Warman claims to have begun beginner bull-riding lessons with Slow Poke, a bull owned by Coyote Creek Rodeo, at its facility in July 2013. On July 10, 2013 — during his second lesson — Warman claims to have been bucked off Slow Poke and left with a concussion, cognitive injuries, nausea, dizziness, vertigo, photophobia (discomfort or pain to the eyes due to light exposure), anxiety, personality changes, headaches, a broken wrist, an injured neck and depression. Warman claims Coyote Creek failed to provide him with any training before putting him on Slow Poke — a bull Warman was told would be compatible with inexperienced riders. “Contrary to representation, Slow Poke was violent,” the claim reads. Warman is seeking damages and health care costs. None of the allegations against Coyote Creek Rodeo have been proven in court.
Dekker would like to see a more reliable bus put in place. Spallumcheen deferred his request to the Regional District of North Okanagan. “We pay such a small amount each year for transit and our ridership is so low,” said Brown. “We don’t have a lot of say in what buses are dispatched. All we can do is ask that we need a better bus.” A spokesperson for B.C. Transit confirmed Wednesday that a new bus for that particular route has been purchased and will be in operation in the summer.

I
So long Don, Dave
t’s been a week for farewells on television and I for one believe they were well done and appreciate how difficult it must be to come up with the final episode of a popular television show. Goodness knows there’s been examples of what I would term less than stellar conclusions to television series, including MASH, How I Met Your Mother and, yes, even Seinfeld (hilariously referenced in David Letterman’s final Top Ten List). So knowing Mad Men and Late Show with David Letterman were airing their final episodes last week there was a lot of hype and a lot of expectation of how things were going to wrap for hugely successful and dare I say culturally significant proGlenn Mitchell ductions. First, Mad Men. OK, first of all, I came a little late to this Sunday night offering and missed my share of episodes and even years if the truth be told but I always caught it when I could and enjoyed it immensely, especially in its final year, almost like trying to soak it all up before it fades away forever. I have to admit I was losing a little patience with the Don Draper “half-road-to-destruction-and-half-on-the-road-to-find-out” angle of late as I was missing the other characters back in New York. However, I thought the finale tied it up all very nicely thank you very much and was completely satisfying, even if much of it was over the phone – but then again those were some of the most powerful scenes of all. And those who may have found the ending ambiguous, especially for Don, hey, that’s life and that’s just great writing. Peggy may have found love, Pete may have found the American dream, Roger may have finally met his match (maybe) but the complicated character that is Don Draper (and we all know that’s not even his real name) can’t quite
MitChEll’S MuSingS
be so easily wrapped up in a paper bag, so to speak. However, the iconic Coke commercial at the end implies to me that Don used his California awakening to reconnect with his corporate sensibilities to create the commercial of a lifetime and seal his legacy as the ad man of the century. At least that’s how I see it, the beauty of the ending is you can write your own (although if you think he’s going to live out his days doing yoga on a cliff in California, well....). Anyway, anyone who has read this column semi-regularly knows I’m a huge fan of David Letterman. I’ve stolen his Top Ten List idea on several occasions and loved his irreverent, edgy, groundbreaking material and self-effacing, lowkey style for many, many years. So in his honour and as a final salute, The Top Ten things I liked about the finale. 10. Introducing his son Harry’s best friend to 13.7 million viewers, and the trademark giggling afterwards. 9. The bit with the kids. 8. Going over by 17 minutes or so so he could thank staff, family, guests, viewers and everyone else involved and say a tear-free but heartfelt thank you. 7. Jay who? (and the line about maybe not getting The Tonight Show after all). 6. OK, the Foo Fighters aren’t my favourite band but they’re his and it matched up with the video montage finale perfectly. 5. The line about when he screws up now he’s going to have to go on somebody else’s show to address it. 4. The presidential intro and send-off, although where the heck was Jimmy Carter? 3. The bit about the material they were going to air on Thursday if the show hadn’t ended Wednesday. 2. The celebrity Top Ten list was the perfect finale to what was always the best part of the show, and to be honest the bit I used to watch and then shut off back when he was on after The Tonight Show – hey it’s getting late for a school night. 1. Thanks Dave, and all the best as the new face of Scientology.
The weather’s been great of late and hopefully it holds all week as the Bike to Work and School campaign launches in Polson Park today. In fact if you’re looking for something to do today that includes being community-minded and environmentally friendly then head down to the park from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The Relay Challenge begins at 2 p.m., featuring Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund and Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick, who will lead their respective teams through an event set up by the city’s community policing department. Following that will be the children’s bike parade and other fun activities including free entertainment and carnival games that include the opportunity to win a bike. It’s all to get young and old excited and informed about the possibilities of riding one’s bike to work and/or school. Vernon is one of 44 communities in the province participating in Bike to Work Week. And to join them, register at biketowork.ca and you automatically qualify for prizes that include Exodus Travel’s Prague-to-Budapest cycling trip. There are many excuses not to bike to work, like the weather, but most of them come down to it’s easier not to and that’s not good enough. Try it, you might like it and Mother Earth and your body just might thank you. And, who knows, you might just win a prize and see something that you normally wouldn’t on the way to work in your car. Make sure you follow the rules and wear a helmet and see what life on two wheels looks like and can be. So get out there, get some fresh air and pedal your way to work and/or school. Even if the weather doesn’t hold, you’ll be glad you did.

Standing up for veterans
olin Mayes, I received your pamphlet in the mail with the question, “Do you support these measures to help veterans?” Beside the yes box, is the statement that, "Yes, Canada should support those who have protected our country." In doing it this way, you are basically forcing people to answer yes to your question. It is a very inappropriate way to present a survey. My answer is yes, I do support those who have protected our country, but I do not support the measures somewhat taken by the Conservative government to help veterans. I must also point out that it should have been worded differently. It should have been worded as follows: "I do support those who are and those who have protected our country." You may not be aware of the fact that currently serving men and women of our Canadian military and RCMP also fall under the responsibility of Veterans Affairs and are also considered to be veterans. I personally served in the Canadian military for several years and served in the RCMP for 25 years. My son is currently a member of the Canadian Armed Forces serving our country. Both my in-laws are also veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces. Over the past 25 years, I have become a self-appointed advocate and assisted a large number of veterans through the maze of PRINCIPAL'S CALL DEFENDED This letter is in response to the article Lavington safety concerns eased, and mainly to the response of chief administrative officer Trevor Seibel. Mr. Seibel's comments were: "They chose to evacuate the school when they didn't need to. It created some unnecessary angst." Mr. Seibel, do you have children who attend Lavington school? No, you don't. Do you live in Lavington? No you don't. I'm sure if you did your attitude towards the pellet plant and our principal evacuating the students would be a whole lot different. She took into consideration the well-being, safety and emotional distraught from our children and took them out of a potentially dangerous situation. All of the correct steps were taken by our principal and parents were notified where their children were being taken. I find it quite offensive that you would even make such a comment. Do you know that gas line is the main line that feeds Lumby, as well as the old glass plant location?
red tape and multiple appeals that are constantly required to be somewhat successful in obtaining approval on a pension application or reimbursement for a medical expense. I am extremely fearful that should my son, who is currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, suffer serious physical or psychological injuries while on the job, the current Conservative government would rather balance their budget in lieu of offering my son the proper medical and financial assistance that he would require. You can try and enhance the New Veterans Charter all you want. It is only designed to save the federal government money at the expense of our veterans by replacing a pension that they were once granted with a less than adequate one-time payment. The new Veterans Charter must be abolished. So the amount of gas coming out was incredible. When you walked into the school, the gas smell was so strong, teachers and students were developing headaches and nausea. I am thankful that my kids have a principal who puts their well-being first, as their local council and district representatives don't seem to. I truly believe Mr. Seibel owes the students, staff, principal and parents an apology. Kym Lorentz TICK CONCERNS Lyme disease has been in the Vernon area for longer than you realize. I have been treated for Lyme disease for over a year now. I probably got it back in the eastern Ontario/Quebec area where I lived, not too far from Napanee, Avril Lavigne's hometown (she recently disclosed her Lyme disease). For me, it was dormant for quite a while but was activated for some reason and I started showing symptoms a few years ago. My naturopathic doctor diagnosed it and confirmed it with a blood test which my medi-
As far as the $5 billion being invested in additional support is concerned, this would be after Veterans Affairs Canada was made to return $1.13 billion to the federal treasury in unspent funds since the Conservatives came to power in 2006 — cash that critics say should have gone towards improved benefits and services. I really hate the way the Conservative government is constantly misleading the veterans. It is absolutely shameful. Contrary to the belief of the Conservative government, veterans are intellectually capable of knowing when they are being misled. Embattled Conservative Julian Fantino was demoted from his position as veterans affairs minister to a junior cabinet role after less than 18 months on the job. This is the only positive change I have observed from your Conservative government in the past cal doctor was not able to do. I began treatment with my naturopath last year which my medical doctor was not able to do. Treatment is slow and expensive and not covered by B.C. Health. My naturopath has diagnosed and is treating more than 60 people with Lyme here in the Vernon area. There are probably many more undiagnosed cases out there because it manifests itself in different ways and is currently difficult to diagnose. Also mainstream medicine is not equipped and reluctant to diagnose it. That is another controversial issue which should be dealt with now, since a private members bill, introduced by Elizabeth May, was passed by Parliament in 2014 requiring the medical profession to examine Lyme disease more closely. You have a better chance, at the moment of being diagnosed with malaria in this country than Lyme. Ironic since we don't have malaria mosquitoes here but we definitely have Lymebearing ticks. Robert Vedan
few years. Everything else has been nothing but false promises. Currently, we are at the beginning of a new era where terrorism is requiring our country to become extremely vigilant and reactive. Terrorism has resulted in members of our Canadian military recently dying on Canadian soil. Additionally, the Conservative government has recently decided to involve our Canadian military in wars that will likely become long-lasting. Accordingly, there is going to be an increasing demand for service of our Canadian military. So please, treat our troops, currentlyserving members and those who have served our dear country, with the respect, admiration and dignity that they all deserve. Our men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces and all Canadian veterans are not to be used for political gain. In this new climate to protect our freedom and liberties, we will become increasingly dependent on our Canadian military. The Canadian government must be more passionate in its efforts to support our Canadian Armed Forces members, those who are and those who have protected our country, namely our Canadian veterans. It is the right thing to do. J. C. Alain Roy

Office keeps tabs on police richard rolke Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan officials are being reassured that the actions of police officers are being scrutinized. Regional District of North Okanagan directors were presented information Wednesday on the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. “We want to give the public confidence that the police are being held accountable to an independent body,” said Ralph Krenz, IIO spokesperson. The IIO was formed in 2012 and it has jurisdiction over incidents involving on-duty and offduty municipal police and the RCMP that result in serious harm or death. “The goal is to complete fair and thorough investigations,” said Krenz, adding that the agency is also focused on transparency and accountability through public reporting. Since 2012, the IIO has received 679 notifications of incidents, while 124 investigations have been opened and 94 cases have been closed. Crown counsel has laid seven criminal charges as a result of the IIO’s work. Krenz admits there is a lot of pressure on IIO staff when pursuing an investigation.
“The goal is to complete fair and thorough investigations.” — Ralph Krenz
“We have to get it right so the police officer and the person involved gets a fair shake.” One growing factor in investigations is the ability of the public to film videos of incidents with their phones. “It makes our job very easy because it fills in a void,” said Krenz of establishing what happened. However, Krenz says the entire context of a video must be considered and not just a few scenes. It’s the prospect of video editing that concerns Lumby director Kevin Acton. “It can really skew what’s out there both pro and con,” he said. The presentation to RDNO was just the latest stop for the IIO, which is meeting with local governments and service organizations across B.C. “We want to increase an understanding (of the agency),” said Krenz.

Whitevale Road, from the village boundary to Whitevale Park. “Although most drivers on the road are quite attentive and careful to avoid the pedestrians, there are a few who speed excessively and do not pay much attention to those who walk,” said Sky Snook, a resident in a letter. “This is frightening for any pedestrian, parent, pet walker or cyclist, especially when the only option to avoid an oncoming vehicle would be to escape to the ditch that parallels the road.” Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director and WVPRCAC chairperson, says he is aware of the residents’ demands for a trail along the twokilometre route. “We want to ensure conditions are safe for pedestrians,” he said. “We will take a look at it but obviously we have to be in contact with the Ministry of Transportation because it’s responsible for roads in Area D. We will have to come up with a plan on how to proceed, including costs.” Lumby council has also discussed the issue. “It’s a fantastic idea to get together with Area D and the ministry and look at it,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich.

Spallumcheen council has tried to watch its spending when it comes to out-of-town travel. The township has released its 2014 council remuneration and expenses, suppliers of goods and services and employee remuneration and expenses report. Mayor Janice Brown topped the council list with a stipend (minus GST/HST rebate) of $18,367.76, and $4,150.89 in travel and conference expenses for a total of $22,518.65. “We’re always very conscious about when we go (to a conference), when we come back, making sure we don’t go early, making sure we attend everything we go to and mak-
Salmon River Road to Knob Hill. Five Spallumcheen employees are paid a salary of $75,000 or higher per year, led by public works manager Ed Forslund at $100,353.28. Also on the list are chief administrative officer Corey Paiement ($96,438.82), public works foreman Duane Sintich ($84,511.74), chief finanical officer Brian Freeman-Marsh ($80,683.85) and fire inspector Alastair Crick ($77,751.67). The five combined to submit nearly $8,800 in expenses, led by Paiement with $5,771.26. Forslund claimed no expenses in 2014. The township paid out a total of $1,137,326.17 to council and employees and $39,985.10 in expenses.

The highest bid was the best option for a new bridge in Spallumcheen. Council voted unanimously to award a contract to Salmon Arm’s Landmark Solutions Ltd. for $410,000 to construct a new Stepney Cross Road structural plate corrugated steel pipe arch bridge. Coun. Ed Hanoski was absent from Tuesday’s regular council meeting. The Salmon Arm firm was the highest bid from three short-listed companies for the job. The other two firms, based in Surrey, had bids of $388,600 and $397,000, though both came with a number of concerns regarding their proposals. “Although the Landmark Solutions Ltd. proposal is the most expensive, it offers the best bridge replacement solution in this location,” said township public works manager Ed Forslund. “The submissions exceeds all of the mandatory requirements laid out in the requests for proposals. It also has several safety benefits that should be taken into consideration as part of the evaluation.” Township staff identified back in 2012 that the bridge needed major upgrades or replacement. Research on options began the following year and it was recommended the bridge be replaced in 2014. A staff report in July
2014 estimated a bridge project cost of $325,000 and consulting fees of $99,725 for a total of $424,725. Council approved the project be tendered in January 2015. Council approved $525,000 in its 2015 financial plan for the

bridge replacement. Forslund pointed out, in response to a question on the new bridge’s lifespan from Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven, that, for an additional $10,000, the thickness of the metal on the bridge could be upgraded. And, if done,
the bridge’s lifespan would improve from 50 years to 75 years. Van Tienhoven motioned to spend the additional $10,000, supported unanimously by council. Work on the bridge replacement is expected to start this summer.

Out of that discussion came the Fitness For Families Hockey Challenge, which raises funds for programs at Francks’ place of employment, North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society (NOYFSS). The latest version of the fundraiser is set for Saturday at the Okanagan Training Rink on 27th Avenue. “Ollie and I dreamed up the concept of the eight-hour hockey game, eight games within the game, and each team captained by an NHL player,” said Francks, director of business and fund development for NOYFSS. “We did it two years, then I took a hiatus. This will be the fourth time we’ve done it.” All funds from the event go to NOYFSS programs. Oliver, now director of player development for the NHL’s Colorado Avalance, will be one of 16 former or current NHL stars taking part, playing alongside kids or adults who want to take part in the challenge. Oliver played in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers, Ottawa Senators, New York Rangers, Arizona Coyotes and Dallas Stars. “It’s outstanding,” said Oliver, who participated in the first Challenge and who will skate alongside his two boys, Caden, six, and Layten, five, this Saturday. “You get to see every-

Morning Star Staff
Randy Strang used home-course golf knowledge to shoot 1-under-70 and win the Spallumcheen Senior Men’s Open on a sun-drenched Thursday. A field of 116 competed, including 70 from out of town. “The weather cooperated very well and some good golf was played,” said tournament director Jim Urquhart. “Our tournament is regarded by most who attended this year as the best-run Senior Open in the Okanagan Valley. We have seen a core of repeaters over the last six years.” Rick Pusher of Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna won low net with a 64. Strang and Pusher each collected new drivers.

Schenker’s sweet moves lift Kal Tire 35s Morning Star Staff
Bryan Schenker flashed some fancy dance moves to score twice as Vernon Kal Tire rolled Mission Cleaners 4-1 in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League action on a scorching Thursday night at Rutland Sports Complex. Kal Tire went to 6-1 atop the table, while Mission dipped to 2-4-1. The Tiremen entertain Select Your Tickets
next Thursday at MacDonald Park. Kal Tire had early problems breaking through the Mission defence, but late in the half, Schenker showed some Neymarlike moves and buried the opening snipe. In the second half, Kal Tire found its form early when Duane Dennis found Glenn Allan, who elevated his play for a great finish. A while later, Jesse Knight got through the middle, stayed onside and

got the feed from Tim McGowan. Knight, despite being tripped by the keeper, got up and finished for his seventh of the year. Kal Tire had a few chances from McGowan, Knight and Rodney Goodchild but Schenker sealed the scoring when he once again danced around his check. The Cleaners pressed with about eight minutes to go and converted on a free kick on keeper Damian Adams.
The unbearable heat in the aging Kelowna Memorial Arena. The bad penalties. The dropped balls. The way he coached. Everything Thursday was getting to Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers coach Chris Scabar in the Tigers’ fifth consecutive Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League road game. The only things that didn’t get to Scabar was the play of goalie Aaron Jensen and the fact the Tigers won their fifth straight, 8-6 over the hometown Raiders. “If it wasn’t for AJ standing on his head, being at the top of his game, giving another MVP performance, we would have lost,” said Scabar of Jensen, who finished with 46 saves as the Tigers outshot the Raiders 62-52. “I would rather have lost the game to be honest with you. It’s one of those games I won, but I don’t feel right about taking the two points.” Jordy Barr and Ryan Sarazin led the Tigers with two goals each while singles went to Sean Connors, Braden Barr, Jordan Orr (2A) and Liam MacPhee. Chase Bremner had three goals for the Raiders (1-3-1), who spent a great deal of the game on the powerplay. “I’m really disappointed we took a lot of penalties (44 minutes to 36 for the Raiders),” said Scabar, who also took some of the blame for the team’s lackluster performance. “I don’t think I coached the best game. I could have done a lot better and ran a better bench. it wasn’t just the boys it was myself. The heat was unbearable in that arena, and the boys were fatigued going into the game. But we won.” Scabar called a practice for Friday night to regroup as the Tigers prepared for its home opener Saturday at Kal Tire Place against the South Okanagan Flames (3-3-0). “We’re happy to be 5-0 and that’s why my expectations are so high for this team,” said Scabar. “There’s still lots of room for improvement.” n In Thompson Okanagan Minor Lacrosse League play, the Shuswap Outlaws completed a mid-week home-and-home sweep of the North Okanagan Super Legends Thursday with an 11-4 Midget B2 division win at Kal Tire Place. The Outlaws won the opener, 9-1, Wednesday at the Enderby Arena. Dakota Campen, on an assist from Nick Mann, scored the Legends’ lone goal in Enderby. Seth Waterstreet had a pair in the loss Thursday, including a beauty of a behind-the-back third-period goal, set up by Legends goalie Jordie Scherck with a long outlet pass. Chase Bronson and Brody Drydyk had the other Legend goals, on powerplays.

Richter gives Tiremen tie Morning Star Staff
Vernon Kal Tire and West Kelowna ran to a scoreless draw in Okanagan Men’s 55+ Soccer League play Thursday night at MacDonald Park. Kal Tire keeper Pete (The Heat) Richter recorded several huge saves to take the Interior Logging Association Man of the Match. Striker Gord Howard had a breakaway in the 17th minute, but lost control of the ball as he deked West Kelowna keeper Harold Schock. West Kelowna is first at 5-0-1, followed by the Tiremen at 4-0-2. The Silver Stars clipped Lake Country 2-1 with Bill Borg breaking the deadlock with a scorcher from 40 yards, almost on the left touchline. In the second half Paul McCardle made it 2-0 after a little dribble. Lake Country got a second wind after a defensive error gifted them a goal. The Stars are 3-3, the Lakers 1-5. The Fantastic Four brushed back the Green Rockets 3-1 in Division II women’s play Thursday night at Marshall #5. Defender-turned-striker Delaney Ross, with a deuce, and Taylor Weixl supplied the Fab Four offence in front of Kris Ponto, who allowed one goal in the late going. Jackie Kersey was marvellous in the Fab Four midfield, while Nathalie Messner was hot stuff up front, applying great pressure on the Rocket keeper. The Fab Four lost Richelle Seguin (ankle) and Ruth Delisle (calf) to injuries in the heat. Sunterra Sistas and Sir Winston’s Pub Attack battled to a 3-3 draw at Marshall #5. Amber Arnold one-timed a beautiful line drive to Diane Neudorf, who beat the last defender and calmly shot low corner to record Sistas’ first goal. After lots of back and forth action and excellent controlled passing by the Sistas, Krista Gutknecht sent a sweet through ball to Kim Sylvester, who went high over the keeper’s hands. Neudorf and Sylvester played keep-away in the Attack zone until Sylvester found the back of the net for the 3-1 go-ahead tally. Brandy Wejr scored the Attack’s first goal. Shelby Fisher of Sir Winnie’s scored twice in the last five minutes, getting the equalizer in the dying seconds. Soul Sista of the Match Cara Van Tol sparkled for the orange girls. Michelle Mulholland, Jennie Currie, and Crystal Flasch were solid on the back line while Amanda Gaythorpe, Miranda Dalhuisen, and Carmen Kinniburgh created lots of excitement through the middle.

Vernon rhythmic gymnasts Megan Hamilton, left and Jaedyn Andreotti are competing in the nationals this weekend at the Richmond Oval.
Gymnasts duo chasing glory Hamilton, Andreotti represent Vernon club in national finals today at the Richmond Oval Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s dynamic duo of Megan Hamilton Jaedyn Andreotti are striving for excellence at the National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships this weekend in Richmond. The top athletes will be chosen to represent Canada at the 2016 Rio Olympics. In preparation, the duo attended a pre-nationals training camp with top Canadian judge Olga Khabarova as well as a performance (competition simulation) at VSS. Hamilton, a Grade 10 VSS students, has always been a hard worker. “Her phenomenal work ethic, and openness to pushing through each obstacle, has created a consistent and outstanding story of success,” said Vernon coach Camille Martens. “Last season, Megan made the Junior Canadian National Team and represented Canada overseas twice. Her junior (age 13-15) results led her to being chosen as a recipient of the 2015 Okanagan Sports Hero Award. “Her outstanding placing and scores in junior however, were to be challenged on a whole new level as she moved into the open senior (16+) category.” Hamilton swept her first event as a senior, winning five gold medals in Seattle. She then pocketed two gold and three silver at the prestigious L.A. Lights Tournament. At Elite Canada (National Team trials), Hamilton unexpectedly strode into the National Team Pool in the middle of the pack. “Her exceptional results gave way to further opportunity and Megan was sanctioned to represent Canada at the renowned Miss Valentine World Competition in Estonia. There she surprised everyone with her dynamic abilities and came home with two bronze and one gold medal.” Said Hamilton: “Competing against high-level international competitors has motivated me to work even harder. The opportunity to compete at many international events has been invalu-
able to my development. I was very excited at Elite Canada when I achieved my goal of making the top-10 seniors.” Andreotti medaled at two consecutive nationals as a novice (age 10-12), but like her teammate, she too had to advance in age categories for 2015. She is a Grade 7 student at BX Elementary. “Her bridge into the junior world was propelled when Jaedyn was selected as Canada’s only athlete representative to attend an intense international training camp at the world famous Bela Karolyi Ranch in Texas,” said Martens. Martens was Canada’s selected coach for the event so the two were immersed in the eight- to 10-hour days which included ballet, fitness, body work, technical knowledge, routine work, apparatus work and more. They were inspired by many Olympic coaches and exposed to new levels of excellence. “Jaedyn was like a sponge, absorbing each moment and delighting in the unique opportunity she was given,” said Martens. “Watching her work with Olympic medallists and coaches of world and Olympic champions was a coach’s dream come true for me. We both learned so much.” It is rare for first-year juniors to qualify for the national team pool, but Andreotti used her larger-than-life expressions and strong technique to bring in impressive junior results. She was top-eight Seattle, LA, and even at the massive event in Estonia (more than 1,000 athletes from 38 countries). She was then chosen to attend the Lisbon World Cup Junior event. “She was like a rock,” said Martens. “There were times where she was pretty overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all, but her performances showed nothing but her power, consistency and delightful style. Against the world’s best juniors, as one of the youngest participants, Jaedyn brought in some of Canada’s best international scores of the year and earned international attention for placing 23rd overall.” Said Andreotti: “Estonia was so exciting. My goal was to reach a personal best score of 12, which I did in my clubs routine. Lisbon was amazing because I got the opportunity to watch the best in the world. Watching this level was super inspiring for me and it has kept me motivated to reach my goals for national championships.”

Chiefs hosting Bauer hockey BRENT MUTIS
BCHL Media Services
The B.C. Hockey League and the Chilliwack Chiefs will host the fourth annual Bauer BCHL Showcase, Sept. 24-27, at Prospera Centre. An extra day has been added to this year’s Showcase in order to allow all games to be played on Prospera Centre’s main ice surface. “Chilliwack has been a gracious host and has provided a beautiful venue in Prospera Centre for the Bauer BCHL Showcase since its inception in 2012,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “Our teams and players get optimum exposure to scouts from the college and professional ranks and the opportunities gained as a result speak for themselves.” Since the first Showcase was held, the BCHL has had 12 players selected in the NHL Entry Draft with another five projected to be drafted this June. Over the last three seasons, the league has also averaged 132 players with college commitments, 114 of those to the NCAA Division I level. The ability of scouts to evaluate players will only be enhanced this coming September as Prospera’s main sheet of ice will be used exclusively, which will also improve the fan experience at the Showcase. “The Chilliwack Chiefs and Prospera Centre are proud to again welcome the university and professional hockey scouts of North America as well as Junior hockey fans from across the BCHL,” said Chiefs president Glen Ringdal. All the matchups for the 2015 Bauer BCHL Showcase will be released after the conclusion of the league annual general meeting June 4-6. n The University of Regina Cougars have added Andy Desautels of the West Kelowna Warriors to their goaltending. Desautels, who spent the last two seasons with the Warriors, is very happy to be playing hockey closer to his hometown of White City, Sask. “It will be awesome to have my family and friends around again after being away from home since I was 16,” he said. “I would like to thank my teammates, coaches, volunteers, and the fans in West Kelowna for two of the best seasons of my life.” Warriors’ head coach/GM Rylan Ferster praised Desautels for his time in the Warriors organization as well.
Two for Tenacity Morning Star Staff
Tenacity was tenacious in Vernon Ladies SloPitch League action Wednesday. They were the only club out of three to sweep their twinbill. Tenacity beat the White House Mortage Gators 7-4, and rolled over the Dozers 16-6.

There is a huge demand for the affordable type of home the Habitat group is building and there will likely be a long line of applicants for the three new units. There are several criteria that the selection committee will consider: 1) Need for adequate shelter: Does your current home meet your family’s needs? Other factors in this category include medical conditions that could be made worse by your present living conditions. Also relevant is the monthly cost of your present dwelling as that amount could be higher than the monthly payment on the Habitat house. 2) Ability to pay: Successful applicants will be employed with at least a three-year ro

The process will provide direction for the future development of the Vernon Regional Airport over the next 20 years. Poko“The tillo Ukr draft of the airport master plan is expectainian D ancers amloop ed toof Kbe complete in September and the final plan s is expected to be ready in June 2016,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, communications co-ordinator. The process involves several stages: initiation and study; data collection, inventory and existing conditions; airport activity, demand and forecasting; facility requirements; development concepts and alternatives; implementation plan; and the draft document. Stakeholder interviews, committee workshops, public open houses and consultation with the Okanagan Indian Band are also part of the engagement strategies in the development of the document.
“The final plan is expected to be ready in June 2016.” — Tanya Laing Gahr
Since 1946, the airport has provided a variety of aviation services and has become a centre for manufacturing for the North Okanagan. “In recent years, the aviation industry in the Okanagan has evolved and a new airport master plan will assist in providing clear direction on how the airport will adapt to these changes,” said Laing Gahr.

Milnes celebrate 60 years Keith and Evelyn Milne (née Bowen) of Lumby are pleased to celebrate 60 years of marriage on June 4 and have plans to celebrate many more years. Keith and Evelyn met in London, Ont. in December 1953 following his return from military duty in Europe. They married in London June 4, 1955 where they lived until 1961. In the meantime, son Brad was born in 1958, followed by David in 1961. Still being with the Canadian Forces, the entire family was posted to West Africa in 1962 where they remained for two years, following which they lived in Ottawa for three years but with a short stay by Keith in Cyprus. Retiring from the Canadian Forces in

Evelyn decided to pull up stakes once again, sell off their possessions not deemed essential and to travel the world via Southeast Asia and the North American continent, settling for a short time in Alberta before finally (probably) settling down in Lumby in 2003. They
now have three grandchildren and one greatgrandchild. Current pastimes include the Lumby Lions Club, RV travel, golf, gardening and just relaxation, but after an adventurous life they still hope for many more years of good health and good friends.
65 years or so on my teenage days as a page in my local library, I am so amazed at the transformation of this venerable institution. Remember the “no talking” rule and the rigid discipline of the local senior librarian. But still, the library was the place of dreams for many people who had very little to dream on. Now, more than a repository for books, it plays an important part of the fabric of this community. And with its new program, Visioning Greater Vernon, it will play an even greater role when it attempts to harness knowledge and creativity, and to engage with the community with the goal of positive social change. Some of the subjects to be discussed are: May 30, Transportation: How do you get around?; June 20, The Future of Water; Sept. 19, Community Building: Coming together in the age of (dis)connection; Oct. 17, Sustainable Development: Growing resilience; Nov. 21,
Food: Local, sustainable, attainable. These five themed community meetings will pull together panels made of up of diverse individuals, followed by smaller brainstorming groups and then ideas will be shared with the larger group. If concrete ideas come out of the session, they can either go forward with the applicable service provider (IHA, RDNO, City of Vernon) or community group. Also childcare will be provided during the programming so that parents can participate in brainstorming sessions and the kids will also participate in a similar program and come into the larger group to share their thoughts as well. Truly a multi-generational gathering. The first community meeting will be about transportation and panel members will be: Wendy Majewski (Transportation Demand management coordinator, City of Vernon), Amanda Watson (transporta-
tion engineer, City of Vernon), Pam Moore (IHA Healthy Built Environment team), Brad Clements (Okanagan Rail Trail), and Pat Black (seniors advocate). That’s me, so come on out and get your ideas on transportation listened to. If you have any comments or questions email: blackmail1@ telus.net or call 250542-7928.

think people are mostly good. I know many disagree with this assessment and are forever telling us to be careful, to be suspicious and that someone will do you harm if you are not on the lookout for the bad guys. Today I was shopping at a local nursery, and found a yucca plant that I needed to fill in my front garden and also a tall flowering bush-type plant called Rose of Sharon that would nicely fill in a space I had along my side garden. As I headed to the cashier’s booth, a smiling older woman approached me and told me about her Rose of Sharon and how well it grew and that sometimes it was slow to blossom but when it did how brilliant it was. As we chatted about plants she noticed my yucca and said that she had lots of yucca she was getting rid of and did I want some. She gave me her name, phone and address and I said that I could pick up the yucca later that

day. It was a gesture of pure kindness made to another human being willingly and gladly, and it made my day. Good people are everywhere. How is it we hear repeatedly about all the evil and bad events that surround us but seldom get the good stories? The occasions that happen frequently in every day life. Someone smiling as we pass by and saying “Good morning” or holding open a door or lifting out my groceries from a cart I have trouble reaching. We need to notice the good deeds and pass it on to others and to trust and to appreciate when Karma sends us the gift of kindness.

Exploring the heartland JAMIE ROSS Special To The Morning Star
ONTARIO - I remember as a young boy when my father, during the weeks leading up to one particular Christmas, had ensconced himself in our basement for hours on end. I was warned that the depths of our home were temporarily out-of-bounds, so I sat upstairs and listened to the strange sounds from below, with an over-powering sense of curiosity and wonder. On Christmas morning I was invited down. He had built a wonderful model railway that would eventually take up the majority of my bedroom. All Aboard I suppose that is why I was so excited to visit the St. Jacobs and Aberfoyle Model Railway, a delightful museum that recreates the great rail era. I entered with a sense of anticipation similar to that December morning long ago – but nothing could have prepared me for this magnificent display. Here,

everything. The trains travel through scenic countryside, passing over bridges, and through tunnels, fields, towns and the Niagara Escarpment. A crowd pleaser is the night scene, when the room lighting dims and hundreds of tiny lights come on inside the buildings, houses and rail cars. You can hear the lonely whistles of the trains passing through the darkness. St. Jacobs As the model railway invokes a hint of nostalgia, so does a visit to the charming village of St. Jacobs, 15 kilometers north of Waterloo. It is like stepping back in time, seeming as though nothing much has changed since the town’s Old Order Mennonite settlers arrived here in the early 1800’s in Connestoga wagons from Pennsylvania. The jingle of horse tack and the clip-clop of hooves on pavement can still be heard. An open buggy comes into view, driven by a young lady in
a long-sleeved print dress, apron and bonnet. In another enclosed horse-drawn wagon sits an old man wearing a wide-brimmed black hat and a small boy in white shirtsleeves and suspenders. The Mennonite farmers pride themselves in maintaining their unique traditions and culture. While most visitors are drawn to St. Jacobs for its famous market, antiques, quilts and furniture shops, many are also intrigued by its history. St. Jacobs is one of the original Mennonite settlements in Ontario. The Mennonite Story at the Visitor Centre provides fascinating insights into the history, beliefs and lifestyles of the Mennonite people. The many heritage buildings that line the main street are now upscale boutiques, craft shops and art galleries. The Quilt Gallery showcases beautiful examples of quilting featuring the work of individual artists, as well as groups and guilds. You’ll see why this region has become known as the quilt capital of Canada.” Work up a thirst from shopping? Drop into Block 3 Brewery to sample some delectable craft beer. To the Market A short drive south of the village brings you to Canada’s largest year round farmers’ market, a festival of sights, sounds, and tastes. Local Mennonite and Amish farmers sell their wares; fruit, vegetables, fresh baked bread, cookies, homemade jams, cheeses, meats, clothing and even livestock. At its peak in the summer, the market has more than 600 vendors. Jamie Ross is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Local photographer keeps focused JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A local woman dedicated to capturing all of the Kodak moments of life is snapping her way to the top in the world of photography. Camillia Courts has only been in business for six years, but her work is already recognized internationally. The mom of two (nine-year-old Aidan and five-year-old Layla, who are used to having a camera in their face) has had a banner year, full of awards. “Last year was my biggest year to date with 2015 looking bigger than the last,” said Courts, a true Okanagan girl who was born and raised in Lumby and has lived in Vernon for the past 10 years. It started in 2014, when her work was featured on Style Me Pretty and The Globe and Mail. Then, 2015 was kicked off with a bang as Courts won young entrepreneur at the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce business awards. “I couldn’t believe this was happening,” she said. “After six years of pouring my heart into my business, it was wonderful to be recognized for it and to be surrounded by so many of my friends who have supported me through this.” In March, she was runner-up in a photo contest at Bride. ca out of more than 1,500 submissions. Her passion-filled picture of Brittany Emerson and Luke Crozier in the lake in their wedding attire, is her favourite photo. “I had almost 1,000 likes on their photo on the Bride.ca Facebook page, the most likes I’ve received on a photo ever.” Then news broke that she was voted best photographer in the North Okanagan 2014 by the readers of Okanagan Life magazine. Another major recognition came when Courts’ photo
CAMILLIA COURTS PHOTOGRAPHY
Photographer Camillia Courts captured this moment of Brittany Emerson on her wedding day, with daughter Elliott, which placed sixth in a Shoot and Share contest. came sixth in the All Dressed Up category in a worldwide photo contest called Shoot and Share. More than 110,000
photos were entered in the contest, and not only did Courts’ photography make the top 10, but four of her photos were in the top 100. “To have a photo of mine place in the top 10 was so shocking I screamed when I got the notification,” said Courts. Courts started her photography business in 2009 after the birth of her second child. She shot her very first wedding that year. “I love the rush and excitement of shooting a wedding,” said Courts, who genuinely loves weddings. “And I feel very honoured these strangers have invited me to share their day with them.” As demand for more artistic photographers grew and her name got out, Courts went full-time in 2013. “Scariest thing I’ve ever done,” she admits. She is primarily a wedding and family photographer, but has a new found love of newborns in the past year and even photographed her first birth recently. Now you might see Courts and photographer Peter Solymosi in and around downtown as they have teamed up to be the new Downtown Vernon Association event photographers for 2015. It’s a fitting position considering Courts opened a new studio in downtown Vernon in January. “There came a point when I realized I absolutely had to expand. It was scary to take the leap but I have no regrets. In fact, I wish I had done it sooner.” Having her own real life studio is a breath of fresh air from her home studio in her living room. “Half the time I’d be hoping my clients didn’t notice the Barbies shoved under the couch or the Lego hiding in the rug.” It may sound cliché, but photography is her dream job, and getting to meet new people, create art and still spend time with her kids makes it that much more magical.
Vernon-based company surveys spare tire use Morning Star Staff
A recent Kal Tire survey shows that more than one-third of Canadian drivers had a flat tire last year. But how many drivers know the age or condition of their spare tire? Or if they even have a spare? “Many people think because they’ve never used the spare or because there’s good tread depth, that their spare is in good shape,” said Carey Hull, director of retail products. In fact, a March survey shows 92 per cent of drivers claimed their spare tire is in good enough or excellent condition, yet more than one-third also reported their spare tire is six to 10 or more years old. “That’s about the time when you need to ensure you’re inspecting tires for age-related issues, and possibly replacing them,” said Hull. The rubber compound of a tire can degrade over time, even if it’s never been

Vernon-based Kal Tire has conducted a survey on spare tires. used. Several variables can impact tire aging, from how the tire is stored and used to the weather elements it faces.
“Age and weather-related problems that could make a tire unsafe aren’t always visible. With four in 10 drivers not checking the condition of their spare in the past year, they’re risking potential tire failure should they have to use the spare tire in the event of a flat,” said Hull. Summary of Kal Tire Spare Tire Survey Findings n Canadian drivers rely heavily on their spare tire; 93 per cent have a spare tire and 79 per cent used it the last time they had a flat n Thirty-five per cent of drivers experienced a flat tire in the last year — a further 29 per cent in the last two to five years n Four in 10 (42 per cent) of drivers haven’t checked the condition of their spare tire in the past year n Ninety-two per cent claim their spare tire is in good enough or excellent condition, yet 37 per cent report their spare tire is six to
10 or more years old As highlighted above, Kal Tire’s survey shows a significant majority of Canadian drivers have a spare tire, even though several auto manufacturers are eliminating heavy spare tires to improve fuel efficiency. In place of spares, they’re opting for run-flat tires, sometimes complemented by emergency inflator kits and spray sealants. “There are many things that can cause a flat tire. In some cases, the damage is not easily visible and a quick fix could result in a dangerous situation at worst or an unrepairable tire at best,” said Hull. “We recommend no quick fixes when it comes to flat tires. Your safest option is a healthy spare.” Vernon-based Kal Tire is Canada’s largest independent tire dealer and North America’s largest commercial tire dealer. Kal Tire’s mining tire group operates in 17 countries across five continents.

A popular fitness class is now offered in Vernon. Fitness West recently introduced Pound Fit, which combines plyometrics, pilates and lots of drumstick tapping. “Students are equipped with a set of bright green drumsticks and the pounding to high energy music begins,” said Sylvie Stevenson, who is certified to teach Pound Fit. “They leave the class sweating, smiling and proud of their accomplishments. Pound classes have one of the highest return rates of current fitness classes.” Fitness West owner Brian Doyon recently brought guest instructor Ira McNamara from Kelowna to introduce the class to his members. Stevenson is the first Vernon instructor to be certified to teach Pound. She has been actively teaching in the fitness industry for more than 15 years. “Be prepared for a high-energy, fun class that will kick your butt,” said Stevenson.

Lumby residents will soon have another avenue to access fresh produce and local crafts. A group of residents is moving ahead with the Around The Block Lumby Vendor’s Night Market in the Arbor Park parking lot. “This market is a wonderful place to bring our community together and meet our neighbours,” said Kayla Hamilton, one of the organizers, on the group’s Facebook page. “See what kind of wonderful things Lumby and surrounding area has to offer.” Hamilton and co-organizer Cheryl Price were before village council Tuesday. “We will help them look at getting their license and to share in their dream,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich. There is currently a public market on Saturdays but Mindnich believes the Wednesday event will provide options for residents. “If you are getting off work, you can go to it,” she said. The goal is for the Wednesday market to begin June 3 and run from 5 to 9 p.m. until Oct. 7.

Signs are pointing to Armstrong’s newly formed sister city committee being very involved. The committee, which will oversee projects in conjunction with its sister city, the Village of Rathfriland, in Northern Island, is starting off with a small item. “We will, with the city’s help, erect a signpost on our John Trainor downtown signpost pole,” said John Trainor, elected chairperson of the committee at its first meeting. “Pointing east, the sign will say ‘Rathfriland, Northern Ireland’....6813 kilometres.’ We have $1,000 in the budget compliments of the city.”
Future of rural Enderby shaped Morning Star Staff
Rural Enderby residents have had their say on shaping their community and can now learn more about the plans at some upcoming focus group discussions. The phase one survey results for the Electoral Area F (rural Enderby) Official Community Plan review are in. A total of 318 surveys were returned representing a 16 per cent response rate from residents. Of the feedback received it was identified that the community is interested in exploring and developing policies
that relate to (in no particular order): agriculture, parks and trails, economic development, sense of place/overall vision for area F and the natural environment. Following these results, two focus group discussions are scheduled. The first takes place Monday, June 1 at the Grindrod Community Hall (6920 Highway 97A) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. A second discussion gets underway Tuesday, June 2 at the Kingfisher Community Hall (3337 Enderby Mabel Lake Road) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. “These meetings will be

Jessie Ann Gamble is the committee’s vicechairperson. “As well, one of our committee members, Pat Brinnen, and her husband, Ron, are travelling to Ireland this month and will be connecting with members of the Rathfriland committee while there,” said Trainor. The committee has also discussed a number of possible initiatives including connecting through the schools, involving the IPE and multicultural events. “We’re also looking at possibly naming the month of March Irish Month in the City of Armstrong,” said Trainor. The committee plans on meeting every two months or at the call of the chair. The next fixed meeting is July 14 at city hall and is open to the public.

Funds benefit rural students

Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is receiving a $5,000 grant to develop opportunities to support students in rural communities. Funding can be used to relocate students to communities with greater training opportunities, pay for students’ room and board, pay for students’ tools or work clothes or subsidize the cost of bringing a mobile training unit to a school. “This grant will help provide an academic boost to Shuswap students who live in rural areas,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. “We don’t believe students should be at a disadvantage just because they live outside an urban setting.”

Dorianne Kohl Special to The Morning Star
On Dec. 28, 2014 the Okanagan arts community lost one of its beloved artists when Frances Marie Hatfield passed away peacefully at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 90. Grandmother, sister, mentor, artist, she was a rare gem of a woman, inspiring others to explore their creative spirits and to follow their “bliss.” Frances grew up on an orchard on the outskirts of Kelowna, creating a studio for herself in an old ice house on the property at the age of 12. Fifty years later, with true pioneer spirit, she built her own home and pottery studio in the bush near Naramata. Frances was a channel for the universal creative spirit. She used every possible katherine mortimer/morning star moment of her time to paint the images Frances Hatfield is being recognized for her that were at the forefront of her mind, be it contribution to the arts in the Okanagan. the orchards of her childhood, the brilliant meadow of sunflowers in a farmer’s field, the the Ontario College of Art.

Dorianne Kohl remembers her dear friend, Frances Hatfield, whose painting, Earth Mother Embracing All, is one of many that will be featured at Saturday’s celebration of life at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum & Art Gallery. the North Okanagan, settling in Armstrong and giving her the opportunity to work in the large studio on her property. One of my fondest memories of Frances is the occasion of her 80th birthday. I took her to Atlantis Waterslides outside of Vernon to celebrate. Neither of us had been there before, but we were game for the experience. For us, it was an opportunity to abandon all caution, fly down the waterslides laughing, and to finish up the day at home with a true celebration of her day of birth: with a bottled of chilled sparkling wine, egg sandwiches and birthday cake!
Frances was both a gentle soul and a fierce warrior, encompassing the full spectrum of a mature, wise woman. A celebration of Hatfield’s life will be held at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum & Art Gallery Saturday. Beginning at 1 p.m., there will be an opportunity to view many of her paintings in both galleries. At 2 p.m., the celebration will begin. Hatfield’s paintings will remain on display for the month of June in the Rusty Freeze Gallery. If you wish to inquire about the show or the celebration, please call the gallery at 250-546-8318.

Okanagan bat program visits Allan Brooks PENTICTON — The BC Community Bat Project network is gearing up for another busy year. The “Got Bats” initiative is a network of community bat projects established to raise awareness about bats, provide information to homeowners dealing with bat issues, promote the installation of bat-houses, and get help with monitoring local bat populations. A toll-free phone line and website provides information on bats in buildings, encounters with bats, or how to attract bats. Visitors to www. bcbats.ca will be linked to regional coordinators such as Margaret Holm, who monitors calls from Okanagan residents. “The Vernon area and north end of Osoyoos Lake is a definite hot spot for bats,” said Holm. “There were calls from people who have long-established bat colonies in their summer homes and are happy to support bats, while others want information on excluding bats.” Of the 16 species of bats in the province, more than half the species
have populations that are declining and could become endangered. Recently the Little Brown Myotis, a species that commonly uses buildings, was listed as federally endangered due to the devastating impacts of White Nose Syndrome in eastern Canada. This introduced fungus has killed approximately six million bats in North America. Since the disease is not thought to be in western Canada, community bat projects are doing all they can to promote bat conservation prior to its arrival. “We are encouraging people to sit out on lawn chairs at dusk and do bat counts for our program. This can provide important information on whether local bat populations are going up or down,” said Holm. Funded by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and federal Habitat Stewardship Program, and supported by the BC Conservation Foundation, the Okanagan Community Bat Program is soliciting information on where bats roost and can provide site visits
and advice to residents with bats in buildings. Holm is visiting the Allan Brooks Nature Centre on Thursday for a public talk on the BC Got Bats Program and to train volunteers on conducting bat counts. Allan Brooks Nature Centre and the Vernon and District Association for Community Living Venture Training Program have partnered with the Okanagan Community Bat Program to build large bat boxes suitable for supporting maternity colonies. Large and small bat boxes made by the Venture Training Program can be purchased at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre ($20 for standard small boxes; $50 for maternity roost boxes). Call to place your order at 250-260-4227. If you have bats living in your buildings, would like to start a bat count, or want more information on bats, visit www.bcbats.ca or call 1-855-9BC-BATS. The bat presentation and field training at Allan Brooks Nature Centre is Thursday at 6:30 p.m. For more information, www.abnc.ca or call 250-260-4227.
Lyme disease in the limelight
M
ay is Lyme Disease Awareness month worldwide and media attention has increased significantly. Pop singer Avril Lavigne recently announced that her absence from the music world was due to Lyme disease. “I went from doctor to doctor for about eight months until I found somebody that had the knowledge of Lyme disease and the experience of treating it,” she said in People magazine. Lyme disease reached national headlines last December in Ottawa with the dr. denise deMonte passing in Parliament of a bill that called for the development of a comprehensive Lyme disease strategy for Canada. Caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, Lyme disease is transmitted primarily by black legged woodland ticks that pick up the bacteria by biting infected deer, mice and birds, and then pass it on to humans by biting them. Borrelia bacteria can cause an acute inflammatory illness and if left untreated or treated inadequately, it can become a chronic infection. Lyme disease is not rare, it’s just rarely diagnosed. It is reaching epidemic proportions in North America. About 95 per cent of people with Lyme have had it for more than one year, many for years and for some even decades. A few can recall when they were infected, but most patients have no idea when or where they contracted Lyme, and have never been properly diagnosed, tested or treated. In the past five years, the number of patients seeking treatment for Lyme disease has increased exponentially at our office, and is many times greater than those reported by public health officials. We are treating more cases of Lyme disease in Vernon than are reported every year in the entire province of B.C. There is an ocean of ignorance regarding the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease. One of the major challenges is that Lyme can produce symptoms similar to more than 300 diseases. The hallmark symptoms of chronic Lyme disease are fatigue, muscle/joint pain, tingling, numbness and/or burning that migrate throughout the body and tend to come and go with good and bad days. Other symptoms include brain fog, loss of memo-
Natural MediciNe
ry, headaches, heart problems, anxiety and depression. For some people, symptoms are bothersome but bearable, and they are able to lead a productive life. For others, Lyme is pervasive and debilitating, and they have a poor quality of life. Estimates are that up to 50 per cent of chronically ill patients may be infected with Lyme disease. Many people diagnosed with chronic fatigue are actually suffering from Lyme. The muscle, joint and tendon pain seen in fibromyalgia and arthritis are linked to Lyme disease. Lyme’s neurological symptoms are easily confused with multiple sclerosis or can present as mental illness with mood disorder and even psychosis. Autopsies on the brains of Alzheimer’s patients have shown Lyme bacteria. Lyme disease diagnosis is based on symptoms and patient history. To complicate matters, coinfections are usually transmitted at the same time the patient is infected with borrelia bacteria. If you have just been bitten by a tick, early treatment with one or more high dose antibiotics for one to three months followed by several months of herbal antimicrobials (natural antibiotics) can usually eliminate the bacteria. Unfortunately, most cases of Lyme are not caught early and the infection becomes chronic and difficult to treat. Improvement is typically slow and can take one to five years or longer depending upon the severity of the infection and how long the patient has had the illness. In addition to eradicating the infections, treatment must also be directed at decreasing inflammation in the body, supporting immune system function, correcting hormone imbalances, and detoxifying neurotoxins produced when the bacteria is killed. No single therapy currently exists that can address all these aspects. Many people are suffering from a longstanding illness or condition that has not responded completely to treatment. While certainly not in every case, Lyme disease could be the culprit or a contributing factor that is making them sick. Effective treatment is available and many patients respond favourably.

Blues traveller makes his way to Vernon AlessANDRA WOODWARD Special to The Morning Star
An opportunity to see a great performance, hear amazing live music, and experience artistic inspiration at its finest is all part of the Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society’s next feature act. On Saturday, the VFRMS presents multiple award winning blues artist Brandon Isaak at the Vernon Elks Hall. Isaak has been nominated (and has won) several Canadian music awards, including his most recent win in January for Acoustic Act of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards. He has also been nominated for Songwriter of the Year, and Recording/ Producer of the Year, while his latest album recently topped charts at No. 1 in Canada and No. 7 in the U.S. It also received a nomination (his second in the category) for Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Blues Awards. Isaak remains humble about the recognition his music is garnering, however, his fans and critics alike are willing to promote his work with high amounts of praise and a great deal of enthusiasm. “It feels so good to write a great song, and to know it’s going to be a hit on a record,” said Isaak, describing an experience many artists would be envious of, if not downright oblivious about. “In fact, writing seems to be getting easier these days because I’ve been doing it for so long. I used to labour over it, but now I can write a few good [songs] in a day.” Isaak is as deeply rooted in the Canadian blues scene as one can get. He is the organizer of the Klondike Roots and Blues Festival, instructor at the Hornby Island Blues Camp, key band member of two Vancouver-based groups, The Twisters and The Silver Screen Scoundrels, and then there is his own expanding career as a solo blues writer and performer. When you have a father who played with the likes of Loretta Lynn and Willie Nelson, it is not surprising that Isaak found himself on his current trajectory towards stardom, even if his dad tried to steer him away from

Isaak challenges himself constantly to be on top of his game, whether for the technical writing aspect of the lyrics, or performing on stage in a completely new key or tempo than he may have tried before. This, he claims, is what keeps the musical encounter innovative and exciting, and sets the stage for great songs and live shows to keep their appeal.
He comes up with song ideas everywhere, though lately it’s been through visual art, a category of artistic endeavour that is not outside of Isaak’s provenance, as he has been known to sell a few paintings on the side. “I am an art fanatic... In fact, Kiko says I am ‘the best-worst art collector in the world’,” he jokes, referring to his adored nine-year-old daughter. “Right now in my living room there
is a painting of an old Chinese man smoking a cigarette, and another terrible macrame piece of a woman holding a jug. I love them. And just yesterday I looked at that man and slowly something started to come to me, a song, a line, and it starts from there.” Even with a busy day ahead of being a parent and musician (including making time for an interview for this article), a 4 a.m. tea and guitar session, inspired while he was sleeping, is not out of the question. As fleeting as it is, when it strikes, true inspiration cannot be relied upon to show up again when the timing is more convenient, admits Isaak. He doesn’t seem too worried that the inspiration will dry up anytime soon, which is great news for his fans. “And if it does, I can always sell my paintings,” he laughed. The latest album to feature Isaak’s signature sound will be released within the next two months, and will showcase collaborations with fellow blues legends, Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne and Tim Williams. In the past, Isaak has had the chance to play with other greats such as Serena Ryder, The Sojourners, Guy Davis, the late Jeff Healey, and Chicago blues diva Zora Young, to name a few. As a one-man band, Isaak is renowned for claiming centre stage, complete with neck-rack harmonica, foot-drum kit, guitar, and vocals. His stop in Vernon will precede a Northern B.C. tour, and then he and his fellow Silver Screen Scoundrels cross the ocean for a stint in Europe. Opening for Isaak in Vernon is local boy Lowell Friesen, who will be accompanied by some of his musical friends. Friesen is well known in the community for lyrically rich and instrumentally varied performances. His easy mastery of several instruments and lyrical nuances have made him a crowd favourite. Doors to Saturday’s show open at 6:45 p.m., with Friesen and friends taking the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at www.vernonfolkroots.com, the Bean Scene downtown, or at the door to the Elks Hall.
Play being produced by Kelowna theatre has local connection
Morning Star Staff
A Vernon playwright is about to see the world premiere of his new play, Judith Ruins Everything. Logan Mullin’s script is being produced by New Vintage Theatre, and opens the Kelowna company’s third season. Mullin, like the audience, will be watching the play in its entirety when it opens at the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country, Thursday. “I don’t find it terrifying, I am sure that might change a bit as I sit in my seat on opening night, but I have so much confidence in director Angela Lavender and I think the cast is so great,” said Mullin in a press release. An artist and author, Mullin has tried his hand at several genres and first tried to write this story in novel form. “But it just didn’t work,” he said. “It was after starting to write it as a play I realized this was going to work well. I have seen it in workshops with actors several times and I think audiences will find it appeals to them and will make them think about the nature of their own happiness.” Judith Ruins Everything is about a woman who seemingly has everything – a cool Vancouver loft, a handsome husband, great job and opportunity to travel. However, she cannot seem

Kendra Hesketh) takes matters into her own hands and decides to once and for all meet up with a childhood friend who can actually shed some light on the issue that has nagged at her for years. Nathaniel, Judith’s husband (John Van Dyk), patiently supports his wife’s invitation to these strangers for dinner, but he is not expecting an evening of fireworks that ensues once the guests (Cory Armour and Tamara Ross) have arrived and pleasantries have gone out the window. “What I love about this story is that it is one that I have never heard before,” said New Vintage’s artistic director Bonnie Gratz. “I have spent my career reading, viewing and creating stories, but this one is so unique and left me with such a lasting impression. “I also love that the play was developed in our Playwrights Hot House program, so I had the great pleasure of seeing it develop from the beginning.” Judith Ruins Everything runs at the Creekside Theatre, Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 each or $80 for a group of four and are available by calling Creekside at 250-766-9309. Each performance includes a chance to win Lake Country prizes, including golf, wine, ziplining and more.

Folk artist brings sustenance Morning Star Staff
A true Canadian troubadour is playing the Enderby Drill Hall Friday. Peachland’s Keith “Papa” Thom is well known by Canadian folk music fans for his silky smooth vocals, meaningful song writing, and engaging personality. Troubadour, bard, minstrel, balladeer, Thom literally fits all the descriptive terms used to describe a man whose passion for music and storytelling is only exceeded by his passion for his wife, family, and maker. Thom was recently described by The Kelowna Capital News music critic Charlie Hodge as “a natural on guitar, with fingers flowing effortlessly over the frets.”
Fiddler is coming
Papa Thom “His voice is strong, diction clear, and range impressive,” continued Hodge. “Of particular strength, though, is his lyrical brilliance. As a songwriter, Keith applies verbs, nouns, and adjectives to music scales like a master artist applies brush and paint to canvas. His literary work generally happens with ease.” In 2008, Thom embarked on a musical and human journey from Ontario to the
For the record Friday’s article on Mackie Lake House artist-in-residence Jan Poynter had the wrong time for her artist talk at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The talk will take place at the gallery Saturday, May 30 at noon. The Morning Star apologizes for the error.

Antibiotic-resistant organisms are responsible for over 700,000 deaths per year worldwide. A new class of antibiotics has been found of which teixobactin shows the most promise. It was discovered using a new method of culturing bacteria and it will hopefully lead to a whole new line of potent antibiotics. Our bodies change as we age. Our weight may change. The ratio of lean muscle to fat also changes. Digestion, circulation and kidney function slows down. These changes can have an effect on how drugs work in the body and could make the drug not work as well as it did before. The Heart and Stroke Foundation has another east mnemonic to recognize the signs of stroke. It’s FAST. “F” is for Face ... is it drooping? “A” is for Arms ... can you raise both? “S” is for Speech ... is it slurred or jumbled? And “T” is for Time to call 911 right away.

It’s a mad, mad world Mad Max: Fury Road
M
ax (Tom Hardy) is a loner in a desert wasteland, trying to eek out an existence while evading cruel gangs of murderous marauders. Max is captured by the War Boys of Immortan Joe (Hugh Taylor and Howe KeaysByrne) but it isn’t long before he escapes, although in a weakened state from being forced to give up his blood intravenously to a War Boy named Nux (Nicholas Hoult). Seeking a better life than can be provided by the warlord Immortan Joe, a trusted warrior named Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) uses her power as driver to escape the community, hoping to return to the place of her birth. Having the common goal of escaping Immortan Joe’s clutches brings Furiosa and Max together. The two of them will be joined by others on a strange and dangerous road trip that some might call mad. We say, “You are obligated to go see this movie on the big screen. Go.” TAYLOR: Mad Max: Fury Road is pretty amazing, despite it being a bit silly. It’s beautiful, (but could have been more so), it’s exciting and fun, yet serious in tone. It has inventive, courageous stunt work, elaborate vehicles, costumes and takes place in a complex future world of desperation and violence. It is even my favourite type of screenplay, that with very few words. Hardy and

Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) and Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) look to horizons filled with nothing in Mad Max: Fury Road. especially Theron have the opportunity to speak volumes with a sunset’s glint in their eyes. I have every reason to want to enjoy this film, but its quirkiness irritates me and I am, after all, here to be critical. HOWE: I’m torn about this movie. It does have things working for it. It’s fantastic to look at: I loved the muted colours of the wasteland occasionally littered with colourful explosions. The 3D is the best I have since I began reviewing movies. Bits and pieces actually float out of the screen rather than just providing a bit of depth perception. The soundtrack is also pretty amazing. The acting all-around is strong, but it’s Hoult who had the standout role as Nux. He gives a solid performance, probably his best to date. TAYLOR: I thought he overdid it. My biggest problem with Fury Road is the decision to speed up the action in certain scenes. The opening scene and the chase sequence that follows it features driving, running and fighting that

is so much faster than normal it must have been intentional. I find it comical. It certainly looks odd and therefore, speed becomes a distraction. Other than the decision to cartoonify some of the action (not all, thankfully) and a few missed opportunities to feature more expansive desert scenery, Fury Road is still a great movie and a lot of fun. I was on the edge of my seat for most of this never ending chase scene. Go see it. HOWE: Now for the not-sogood: Hardy as Max. I’m sorry to say that even though he is a fine actor, he is nowhere near as mad as Mel. There’s something in Gibson’s eyes that made this role his and his alone. The original Mad Max was a little more entertaining, a little more fun, a little more comic bookish, with a little more madness. Maybe it’s growing up in the ‘80s that etched the original into my heart so well that it couldn’t be replaced. –Howe gives Mad Max: Fury Road 3.5 lizard snacks out of 5. –Taylor gives it 4 flamethrower guitars out of 5.

Bridge by Phillip Alder HOW CAN YOU CROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE? Khalil Gibran, a LebaneseAmerican artist, poet and writer, said, “Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection.” Yes, it is great to advance at the bridge table, but you had better halt - stop and think - occasionally; otherwise, your advance may resemble a rushing horde of lemmings. In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest heart, and East drops the seven under dummy’s 10. How should declarer continue? Looking at the auction, South was (just) worth a two-club opening and a two-no-trump rebid, which
promised a good 22 to 24 points. Then North was right to raise to three notrump. With so few points, he did well to ignore those diamonds and just bid game in no-trump. Note that five diamonds has no chance. (If North’s suit had been a major, he would have bid game in that suit, preferably via a transfer sequence.) South seems to have nine top tricks: one spade, two hearts (given the lead) and six diamonds. However, the diamond suit is blocked. Declarer, after cashing his three top diamonds, will need a dummy entry to get to those other three winners. What is that entry? It must come from hearts and will do so only if South takes the first trick in his
hand with his heart ace. He must not accept the cheap heart trick being offered. Then, after unblocking his diamonds, he can lead a heart to force a way into the dummy. Halt before advancing at trick one - whether declarer or a defender - and always watch your entries.

Report reveals details on vision health Morning Star Staff
A new report shows an unhealthy dichotomy between Canadians’ strong belief in the importance of vision health, and what they
actually know and do about it. While almost all Canadians believe in the importance of maintaining vision health, many don’t have
basic knowledge about how to prevent vision loss and are not taking action to save their sight. The National Vision Health Report, com-
missioned by CNIB for Vision Health Month 2015, explores public knowledge, behaviours and opinions relating to vision health. The survey is the
May
25
first of its kind in Canada, and has identified gaps in Canadians’ knowledge as it relates to vision health and vision loss, and presents an unexpected contrast
between our beliefs and our behaviours. “There are an estimated 5.5 million Canadians living with a vision-threatening eye disease, and many more

Construction between 30 Avenue to 32 Avenue is scheduled to start the week of May 25th and completed the week of September 30. City of Vernon forces and contractors will be rehabilitating storm mains, sanitary mains (relined using a “no dig” construction method), curb and gutter, sidewalks and repaving on 33 Street. There will be occasional detours of roads, alleys and sidewalks. The majority of the works will be undertaken with traffic control personnel maintaining one lane of traffic. Access to buildings will be maintained at all times. Traffic management and pedestrian access through and around the site will be the priority. For more information on this project please call Ron Serne, Kerr Wood Leidal Engineering Construction Administrator at 250-306-1967 http://www.vernon.ca/site.php/projects/33-street-road-and-utility-rehab-30-ave-to32-ave/ June

Construction on 27 Avenue between 35 Street and 34 A Street is scheduled to start the week of June 8 and completed the week of July 20. City of Vernon forces will be rehabilitating storm main, sanitary main, curb and gutter, sidewalks and repaving on 27 Avenue. 27 Ave will be closed within the construction area, but access to homes and businesses will be possible.

at risk” said John M. Rafferty, president and cxhief executive officer of CNIB. “This report shows they may not be doing all they can to save their sight.” The report shows Canadians value the importance of vision health maintenance: n 92 per cent of respondents believe that eye exams are an important part of their overall health maintenance. n Preventing vision loss places third in terms of priorities for maintaining overall health, behind only heart health and weight management. n 82 per cent of Canadians said they teach their children about the importance of regular eye exams. However, despite their commitment to vision health, there is a dichotomy between their beliefs and their knowledge and behaviours. n Almost a quarter (24 per cent) of Canadians say they have not had their eyes examined in the last two years. n Only 47 per cent of Canadians are aware of whether or not their family has a history of eye disease, meaning more than half aren’t aware of potential hereditary risks for conditions like glaucoma. n 40 per cent of respondents had no awareness of the most common eye disease causing vision loss, agerelated macular degeneration. n 15 per cent of Canadians cannot remember when their child’s last eye exam occurred.
