Enderby resident an instant millionaire Morning Star Staff
Tanya Williams gave herself an early birthday present after turning her Free Play and $1 win from a previous draw into a $1 million Maxmillion prize. The Enderby resident, who celebrates her birthday next week, was on her morning commute when she decided to make a quick stop at a gas station to fill up and check her Lotto Max ticket. When the cashier told her it was a winner, Williams wasn’t quite prepared for just how much that prize was worth. “I thought maybe I had won a dollar or something,” she laughs. After confirming the win and prize amount over the phone with the B.C. Lottery Corporation, Williams was at a loss for words. “I was in shock and speechless when I found out the amount,” she recalls. “Then I started getting really shaky and thought it was a dream. Everyone around me was a lot more excited because I was in shock.” Williams’ husband was especially surprised when he received an early morning call shortly after his wife had just left the house for work. The entire family is still in disbelief, but the $1 million is no joke. “I didn’t think I was going to

Bypass suggestion resurfaces at city hall RICHARD ROLKE
Vernon politicians insist a bypass must be on the radar to ease long-term congestion. Council members urged staff Monday to add reference of a highway bypass to the draft master transportation plan. “We live in a community severed by a highway. It’s killing us in terms of economic development,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. However, staff say a bypass was not included in the document because traffic modelling doesn’t show a need for such a system until after 2050. “A bypass is not necessarily an eco-

Bloom students bid adieu to school greta helin Special to the Morning Star
“I’ll be the mom with the smudged eye make-up.” Gathered with other families and friends to celebrate Charles Bloom Secondary School’s graduation Friday, Debbee Werner wasn’t the only one flooded by emotion. It’s that magic moment when your child, or in Werner’s situation, Amanda, walks across the stage to accept a diploma, looking all grown up. This year, the 59 students graduating from the Lumby school gathered under sunny skies at the oval. Under the trees, groups of family, friends and fellow students snapped photos to commemorate this day. When posed with the question of what’s next, the responses, understandable at this point in the school year, included a lot of, “I’m tired of school and studying…I want to sleep in.” Shayne Andrews and his buddy Chayse Mayne, decked out in tuxes, joked around but both agreed they’d look for a local job and figure their
future out later. Mayne’s mother Emily remembered her own graduation from Simon Fraser University. A single parent, she was so proud when Chayse walked up with her to receive her hardearned diploma. Chayse was four then and was so thrilled, he hugged the chancellor’s legs until the crowd applauded. Jayden McBride said she has plans to attend Bible school, but after she travels to Australia and Switzerland. As her mom Wendy Andres tucked tiny African violets into her braid, mom nodded confidently, “She’s going to do great.” And then she added, “I think she is better prepared than I was.” For some, Friday’s event will be the last family graduation. Chyanne Barker was presented with a huge bouquet of roses and clung to those as she received a heartfelt hug from her great aunt Sharon Thibodeau from Sicamous. Thibodeau said she’s attended 10 graduations and Chyanne is now the last in this part of the family line.

Federal candidate needed to fill Green vacancy richard rolke Morning Star Staff
The Green Party is without an OkanaganShuswap candidate leading up to this fall’s federal election. Dave Smith has withdrawn his candidacy due to what he calls “irreconcilable differences on campaign policy and strategy among members within the local Green Party.” Dave Smith When contacted, the Coldstream resident would not provide further details. “I really don’t wish to because I wish the party well. I’d like to leave them with the
greatest opportunity possible and not dirty laundry,” he said. “The Green Party has a very broad range of participants and I find myself at one end of the extremes. I’m a prudent accountant and fiscally conservative and that didn’t work very well.” Smith says he wishes the party well in finding a new candidate and adds that he he has appreciated the efforts of campaign members who have supported him. He also goes on to say that he continues to stand behind party leader Elizabeth May. “My support for Green policy is totally there, especially for extreme environmental challenges. I hope other parties can pick up on it.” The Okanagan-Shuswap Green Party
executive says it’s “saddened” by Smith’s resignation. “Dave was an excellent candidate, whose rationale and reasonable approach to our transition to a greener and fairer economy has been popular with the public,” states the executive in a release. “With our support at about 20 per cent and growing, Dave would have had a real shot at providing the citizens of OkanaganShuswap with effective Green representation. Politics is often a thankless pursuit but all Canadians owe thanks to those people who put themselves forward as public figures in pursuit of the public good.” The executive goes on to say that it will continue to run a strong campaign during the election.
“Dave’s resignation opens the door for someone to step up and carry his work forward. We will be actively searching for the right candidate over the coming weeks.”

Morning Star Staff
Despite the rain and wind that forced the calling of the sixth annual Charity Classic Golf Tournament at Predator Ridge, 132 golfers and the event sponsors made this year an overwhelming success. A net of $242,100 was raised for the completion of the top two floors at Vernon Jubilee Hospital Sunday. “It is important for me to thank and recognize the generosity of Predator Ridge, its members and its residents who have financially supported this golf tournament from the beginning” said Sue Beaudry, with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. “Significant donations came from some Predator members who helped put us over the top to our six-year total of $1,000,100 net.” A component of the event was a live auction. The highlight was the auctioning off og=f a golf trip to Bandon Dunes, Oregon in the Kal Tire corporate jet. This item alone raised $35,000. Besides the auction, funds came from many sources. Even eightyear-old golfer Ryan Vest, who can drive a golf ball further than many adults, raised $240 by driving golf balls for the golfers. “This is an important event for the hospi-

Precautions taken after body discovered ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Vernon School District’s crisis response team was put into action Monday
after three students at Okanagan Landing Elementary School discovered a man’s body in the school yard shortly before 8:30 a.m.
Vernon RCMP and the coroner investigated and ruled out foul play in the death of the man, believed to be in his late 30s.

“The three students reported the body to the principal, and good for them for doing that, and the principal called 911 right away,” said Joe Rogers, Vernon School District superintendent. “We met with the students and their parents in the morning, we talked about how we can support the kids and the parents and we offer counselling services. “You never know, in circumstances when you have a death like this, if that brings up the death of grandparents or other things in their lives. We want to make sure we are there to support the kids.” A notice was sent home with every child at Okanagan Landing Elementary – which has about 300 students – Monday afternoon. Rogers and the Vernon RCMP both made it clear that, at no point, were any of the school’s students in any danger.
JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR
Vernon RCMP investigate the discovery of a body at Okanagan Landing Elementary School Monday morning. Foul play has been ruled out. After talking with the RCMP and the principal, the decision was made to put the school in lockdown for the morning. “The RCMP hadn’t finished their investigation and the coroner hadn’t arrived, so rather than let the kids out at recess, we just had them do an inside recess,” said Rogers.
“The coroner came, did their work, and the body was removed. We fenced off the area (where the body was found) and the kids were outside for lunch.” Said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk: “The school was locked down to protect the children from going outside and seeing the
body. We’re dealing with elementary school children. It was strictly a precautionary measure.” Molendyk said the man is believed to be an individual who was reported missing Sunday evening. Rogers confirmed that the man was not, in any way, connected to the school.

The door was locked so the couple took the extra step of the man hoisting the woman up over the balcony railing to find out why there was a cry for help. Police were contacted and they got a hold of the woman’s son who came over to the house. The woman was adamant that she did not want to go to the hospital to be checked out. “Thanks to the help of good neighbours for taking that extra time to follow-up on the call for help, she was able to receive medical attention and the help she needed,” said Molendyk. “Things ended well.”

Governance proposal draws support Morning Star Staff
Local efforts to simplify amalgamation between communities are gaining momentum on the provincial scene. The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce’s call for legislative changes to enable the provincial government to take a more active role in regional governance reviews has received support from delegates attending the B.C. Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting Prince George. GVCC members have continually raised concern about Jaron Chasca Greater Vernon’s current governance structure. “Provincial legislation is quite limiting in allowing for the exploration of different governance models that could achieve positive results for business in streamlining regulatory and development
processes among neighbouring local government jurisdictions, said Matt Davidson, chairperson of GVCC’s policy advisory committee. “We appreciate that there are pros and cons related to different governance models but those can’t be examined if there is unwillingness by local governments to explore those ideas or if there is a lack of financial resources from the province to undertake such reviews.” The GVCC policy resolution calls for changes that would enable the provincial government to initiate a study even if only one jurisdiction is interested in exploring the business case for changes in regional governance. “The GVCC is pleased to have received the support from our peers from across the province,” said Jaron Chasca, GVCC president, who is at the B.C. AGM. “Our chamber is committed to creating a more business-friendly region and we think this policy will help achieve that outcome.”

An F for the A word
t’s interesting to point out that while the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce is pushing for changes to local governance, a new study pokes holes into the financial benefits coming from amalgamation. On Tuesday, the Fraser Institute issued a report on municipal amalgamation in Ontario and whether cost-savings were achieved when smaller jurisdictions came together. Now of course the Fraser Institute is a right-wing think tank and previous studies have been widely criticized. But you would think that if any group would support “finding efficiencies at the local level,” as the Greater Vernon chamber calls for, it would be the Fraser Institute. “In the late 1990s, the (Ontario) government of the day wanted to consolidate municipal governments in an effort Richard Rolke to reduce waste and lower property taxes. While that may have been a laudable goal, it’s become clear that those benefits never materialized,” said Lydia Miljan, coauthor of the study. As part of the process, the study compares pre and post amalgamation financial indicators in the amalgamated communities of Kawartha Lakes, Essex Township and HaldimandNorfolk compared to un-amalgamated communities. “In almost all cases — in both the amalgamated and un-amalgamated communities — the study finds significant increases in property taxes, compensation for municipal employees, and long-term debt between 2000 and 2012,” states a release. Apparently between 2000 and 2012, property taxes in Haldimand County increased 50 per cent while municipal employee compensation in Kawartha Lakes ballooned 52.8 per cent. “If amalgamation had in fact led to cost savings and lower property taxes, then one would expect an amalgamated municipality’s financial indicators to exhibit a downward trend over time, at least in the initial years of the amalgamated community. That didn’t happen,” said
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
Miljan. The study finds the Ontario government pressured municipalities to amalgamate too quickly which led to poor planning and execution. “Moreover, when rural areas were amalgamated with urban areas, residents demanded similar services and amenities that had been available in more urbanized communities,” states the release. The bottom line is the Fraser Institute isn’t impressed with what happened in Ontario. “Our study reinforces earlier research about amalgamation of larger cities which suggests that amalgamation in Ontario didn’t achieve cost savings, and in some instances might have actually raised costs,” said Miljan. Now of course Ontario is Ontario and B.C. is B.C. and some factors may be different, but the basic guidelines to operating a municipality should be the same no matter where you go. And when the Fraser Institute highlights that rural residents in an amalgamated municipality sought urbanized services, consider what may happen in Greater Vernon. Quite reasonably, BX residents may start demanding upgraded roads, which would be a costly proposition for taxpayers in the existing City of Vernon (rural roads are presently a provincial responsibility). Amalgamation would mean fewer politicians but that’s a financial drop in the bucket. The reality is that most employees will still be needed to provide services, and, as a result, property taxes aren’t going to drop. The Greater Vernon chamber’s call for a local governance review hit a wall last year when all jurisdictions outside of the city refused to participate. That has now led the chamber to lobby the province to initiate a review even if only one jurisdiction is interested in exploring the pros and cons of regional governance. That campaign may play well with chamber members and some residents but forcing a community to participate in a process it doesn’t support isn’t very democratic. Given that Victoria has insisted it won’t force the A word, don’t expect the chamber’s plans to go anywhere.
The word bypass is floating around Vernon council chambers again. On Monday, city staff presented the draft master transportation plan and immediately, most elected officials were questioning why there was no mention of an alternate route to Highway 97. “It’s sticking our heads into the sand not to indicate what it may look like,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “My role as a councillor is to make a long-term decision for the future of my community after I am gone.” Obviously, there are current challenges with traffic flow on the highway through the community, particularly at key locations like along the Vernon Square mall and at Polson Park. And the situation will likely only get worse in the years to come as the region’s population grows. On the surface, diverting traffic off of Highway 97 makes sense. But despite all of the talk among council members, they ignore an important point and that’s the lack of a viable route. Just as occurred when a bypass was proposed for Mission Hill and Okanagan Landing in 2008, any new proposal will lead to protests from residents who don’t want a major highway going through their neighbourhood. It should also be pointed out that the city plays a critical role in the lack of bypass options as it keeps approving permits for residential developments that will conflict with motorists. In the end, the concept of a bypass can be outlined in the transportation plan, but it will only ever be a theory on paper unless current and future politicians are willing to face the wrath of residents.

Moving on but keeping watch
et me begin by saying I am very disappointed that we did not get more no votes in the recent referendum in Lake Country. The people of Lake Country have spoken and have given the district the authority to borrow $2.6 million to purchase the old CN railway, so we have to move on. As for me, I have lived here all of my life and will continue to make sure the district and Mayor James Baker live up to their big promise that they can both fund the trail and fix up our roads, sewer and water quality. Some roads that need immediate attention are Carr's Landing Road, Okanagan Centre East Road, Okanagan Centre West Road and Beaver Lake Road. MISSED THE POINT Recently, I made my way to an advertised protest rally against Bill C51 held at the offices of MP Colin Mayes. After some delay, the spokesperson addressed those assembled but while railing against capitalism and other abuses, failed for more than half-an-hour to mention Bill C51 at all, and I left. This bill will strip Canadians of the right to speak, write and even gesture if someone in authority pins the label terrorism on the subject matter. Of course those speaking up will be imprisoned. In the Roman Empire at one time, all Christians were labelled terrorists and suffered gruesome fates. I have personally lived through the gagging of free speech and I had to rail against the gag. Somehow, the rally's speaker missed the point of what to rail against urgently. Mark Roberts-Seymour SPORTS FACILITY On the strength of just 386 votes representing less than one per cent of our community's 45,095 eligible voters, our politicians plunged
I would also like to see the district bring our water quality up to Interior Health standards so we won’t have to continue getting boil water notices. I have no idea how they will do all of this as the District of Lake Country is behind $160 million in infrastructure and $10 million in debt. I will also make sure Duane Thompson and his rail trail group live up to their claims that they can raise up to $10 million in grants and donations to upgrade the railway in to a walking/biking trail. I also think now is the time that this same group should tell us who are the two people that are donating $350,000 and do they have that money in the bank now. Ron Volk
ahead and proceeded with the new college sports field at a price tag of $7.5 million. We have now learned that the project is $790,000 over budget, apparently due to inadequate planning and deficient oversight regarding questionable increases in construction costs. More recently, the community has learned that we will also be spending an additional $340,000 because, amazingly, the design did not include showers for a grand total of $1.13 million representing 15 per cent of the original budget without regard to the long-term interests costs. Our politicians and city administrators have always insisted that in order to attract qualified people to the public sector, the community needs to pay premium salaries. So, under the circumstances, can someone out there please explain to me exactly how does that work? J. Brown WATER CONSERVATION In recognition that water shortages will be an ongoing problem, it is time that city hall revise all new residential building permits to require developers to include
their plan for using grey water, i.e. shower, dishwater, etc., on the new property, for flushing toilets and outside use, such as irrigation. In effect, potable water would only be used for drinking, brushing teeth, showers, washing clothes and dishes, etc. Most years, there is a water shortage and with Vernon continuing to grow, it will only get worse. Xeriscaping is not the answer. What a dull place our city would be without the beautiful trees, shrubs, flowers and crops. At least this resolution would be the beginning of using our precious water wisely in the future. Secondly, I recommend that the City of Vernon or public spirited service clubs or community organizations purchase rain barrels and make them available at cost to residents as was done in the past with compost bins. Claire Wilkins BALANCED BUDGET Contrary to what Justin Trudeau and his followers would have us believe, budgets do not balance themselves. The recent balanced federal budget required the hard work of
accountable cabinet ministers and staff to determine realistic revenues and expenditures. While it would have been easy to bolster revenues by increasing taxes in the short term, the loss of jobs and future investment over the long term would have been the cost. Joe Oliver followed through on the promise made to Canadians to produce a balanced budget that will help keep Canada’s economy the strongest of the G7 countries. While the opposition parties make plans to increase taxes and grow government, they have no plans to keep Canada moving forward. The budget will allow job creating businesses to thrive with investments in skills training and support for entrepreneurs. Families will be able to keep more of their money in their pocket with the lowest federal tax burden in more than half a century. Stephen Harper and the Conservative government have shown they can be trusted to manage Canada’s finances through the toughest of economic times while still encouraging investment and growth for the future. This is far cry from the higher
taxes, bigger government plans of the opposition. Mel Arnold, Conservative candidate, North Okanagan Shuswap

News Band before court Morning Star Staff
The fate of a proposed recreational trail between Coldstream and Kelowna is before the courts. The Okanagan Indian Band’s request for an injunction to postpone Canadian National’s sale of the Commonage rail corridor to local municipalities began at B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Monday. “Our lawyers presented a strong case for an injunction to Justice Myers,” said Chief Byron Louis in a release Monday. “Over the next two days we will hear from the other parties involved.” The proceedings are expected to wrap up today. The OKIB asserts that 22 kilometres of the rail line that runs through the Commonage should have reverted to reserve land when it ceased to be used for railway purposes and cannot be lawfully sold. The Commonage Indian reserve was created in 1877 by the Joint Indian Reserve Commission, but the band says federal and provincial officials eliminated the reserve a decade later. “Our case is distinguishable enough from other cases that we feel it deserves its own trial,” said Louis, “If the sale is allowed to proceed, our options are severely limited. That’s the crux of our irreparable harm argument.” The OKIB filed a statement of claim in B.C. Supreme Court March 24 naming CN Rail, the federal and provincial governments, the District of Lake Country, the City of Kelowna and the Regional District of the North Okanagan as defendants.

The doors are closing on a limited royal opportunity in Vernon. The Vernon Winter Carnival’s Queen Silver Star Excellence Program is accepting applications, but this year, only the first 12 candidates will get in. “It’s first-come, first-serve,” said Diana Williamson, Vernon Winter Carnival executive director. And the deadline to file applications is Monday, June 1. But there is still room as there are only a few applications in so far. “You have nothing to lose,” said Queen Silver Star LV Alicia HillTurner, who will be turning over her crown in February. Having gone through the self-development program, which runs from September to February, plus her continuing royal duties, it’s an enriching opportunity Hill-Turner is glad she took. “It’s a great program learning life skills,” said the Grade 11 Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School student. “They teach you all the stuff you don’t learn in school.” The program sees candidates spend two to three days a week learning and growing. The focus includes managing time, financial planning and even how to change a tire. “It’s a big time commitment but as long as you balance it, it’s doable,” said HillTurner. Topics include: speech craft, hair care, automotive, self defence, history of Vernon, mural and history tour, modeling, financial planning and Vernon tourism. “Ours is the biggest program in B.C.,” said Williamson, adding that another new addition this year is the ability for sponsors to match up with preferred candidates ahead of time. Chosen candidates will have interviews with sponsors in June and July prior to the

Jazz club season closes with R&B favourites AMANDA MORAZAIN
For The Morning Star
The Vernon Jazz Club has saved an explosive nine-person band for its last show of the season. The Salmon Armenians are making a big splash Saturday night. The band will play tunes from the ‘60s to ‘80s that feature sizzling vocal and horn arrangements such as Soul Man (Hayes and Porter), Hold On, I’m Comin’ (Sam & Dave) and In the Midnight Hour (Wilson Pickett), as well as some Tower of Power and Aretha Franklin. The Salmon Armenians are Lody Kieken (keyboard/vocals), Debbie Reid (vocals), Del Hunter (vocals), Doug Sonju (alto/tenor saxophone), Mike Scharf (tenor/baritone sax), Gareth Seys (trombone), Murray Holmes (bass/vocals), Jordan Dick (guitar), and Larry Keats (drums). The band was formed 18 years ago to play at the Roots and Blues Festival in Salmon Arm. “We had way too much fun to stop doing this and thus here we are almost 20 years later still having a blast,” said Kieken. “This is our 12th appearance at the Vernon Jazz Club and we’re just as excited to be there as we were the first time around.” The band played at the club during New Year’s Eve in 2013 and can’t wait to perform there again this weekend. “We love the interchange that happens between performers and audiences, of which the Vernon Jazz Club is a great example. There’s nothing like the energy that builds up when a live band meets a room filled with people looking for a good time and a celebration of life, music, and everything,” said Kieken.

The Salmon Armenians help the Vernon Jazz Club close a successful 2014-15 season, Saturday. The Salmon Armenians’ musical influences include the rhythm and blues artists of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. “Any song with a strong melody and a driving rhythm featuring a great vocal and a horn arrangement will find favour with us,” said Kieken. “Many of the songs that we play were featured in The Blues Brothers films as well as the film The Commitments. This all hearkens back to an era when live music was king and there was no sequencers, synthesizers, and drum machines.” The band has built quite the following from those music choices. “I think the fans of The Salmon Armenians like many of the same things we as musicians like about the band and the music. It’s exciting,
powerful, entertaining, great to dance to and to listen to. Our fans love us and the feeling is mutual,” said Kieken. Kieken has been playing the Hammond organ since the 70s. After attending Grant MacEwan College, he toured for three years on the cabaret circuit in Western Canada. He moved to Salmon Arm in the 90s and bought Acorn Music, a music store as well as a teaching studio, with his wife. Growing up in a musical family, Reid realized at the early of five that her voice was her choice of instrument. She has played in numerous bands in the Shuswap including The Phantoms, Summer Wagers, and Eden Fire. Hunter has been a professional singer since
the 70s when she sang with Shamash, a sevenpiece vocal band from Kelowna. She performs in the duo Steppin’ Out with her husband and was part of the vocal trio, Girls Night Out, which covered each era from the 40s onwards. Sonju was the principal clarinetist with the Okanagan Symphony, whom he performed with since the early-70s. Audiences of the Vernon Jazz Club will recognize him from jazz quartets such as The Ugly Stepsisters or the Bob Rogers Quintet. Saxophonist Scharf grew up in Salmon Arm and has played with Electric Lady Land, Pompous Frank, and Shuffle Demon Richard Underhill. Trombonist Seys has shared the stage with such notable artists as Phil Dwyer and Kynkayd. Murray began playing professionally in Vancouver with groups like Duster and Cameron Molly and The Molly Gang. Later he moved to the Thompson-Okanagan area and has continued to play ever since. Dick is a guitarist, composer, educator, and promoter. He has studied with Bob Shields, Lorne Lofsky, Phil Dwyer, and Bill Coon. He is also the artistic director of Jazz Salmon Arm, a non-profit jazz society. Keats, “The Slammin’ Salmon,” is an original member of the Salmon Armenians. He has played with big bands, jazz combos, rock groups, and musical theatre companies. During the day, he is a music therapist in the Shuswap. The Salmon Armenians take the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St.) this Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup and at www.vernonjazz.ca.
Choir gives an ‘Elektra-fying’ finale
he volunteer Vancouverbased women’s choir, Elektra, led by Morna Edmundson, closed the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s season Saturday with professional polish Christine Pilgrim and aplomb. They were joined for their final piece, David MacIntyre’s Ave Maria, by Ancora, an Armstrong women’s choir led by Terry Logan. Together, they sang a well-earned encore from the auditorium aisles before filing into the lobby to mingle with the audience, thus providing an opportunity to discuss favourite pieces. Mine was Jerusalem, a traditional Irish folk song arranged by Michael McGlynn, which Elektra also sang from the auditorium aisles. Choir member Grace Groot (first alto) allowed me to peep at her “dots” (a less elevated term for musical manuscript).
CONCERT REviEw
They showed the song’s haunting, cacophonous refrain inscribed as a round, where singers could join in at whatever point and in whatever rhythm they chose. The sound of anguished yearning that resulted from this random beginning and ending left the audience hushed in a state of awe. Soloists Danica Kell, Holly Kennedy, Malaika Horswill and Stephanie Schollen were equally effective. Meanwhile, Morna Edmundson stood silently still, listening; a solitary figure on stage, both hands folded before her. She only raised them to conduct the opening of the refrain: “Jerusalem, our happy home, when shall we come to thee? When shall our sorrows have an end?” Elektra-fying! My second favourite was another traditional song, Russian this time, entitled Ne po pogrebu Bochonochek Kataetsja. Arranged by Kitka, it made an imaginative vehicle for the choristers’ arrival on stage. Instead of dribbling on as is often the case when risers have to be negotiated, they flowed in separate sections and took circuitous routes to arrive at interesting groupings. Their sing-
ing was faultless, with pure harmonies and sonorous tones. The marriage between soloists, chorus and percussion in this playful love song bewitched and elevated the spirit. Da Pacem (Peace) was beautiful too. So was Northern Lights (aurora borealis, which inspired young Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo to set to music the Pulchra es amica mea text from the Song of Solomon). Like Da Pacem, it was sung in Latin. An English translation, along with words to every song performed, could be found in the extensive program notes. A must-mention: when Edmundson called for the house lights to be turned up, they didn’t shine quite brightly enough for everyone to see the finely printed program, contrary to the opinion of someone presumably blessed with 20:49 vision. After a brief word with a helpful usher at intermission, the lights were adjusted to rectify the situation. Bouquets to both usher and lighting technician! The evening’s favourites also included the curtain raiser, played masterfully by 16-year-

Chopin would surely have delighted in this accomplished young pianist’s interpretation of his Barcarolle Opus 60. The only male on stage with the 45 female choristers, Dr. Stephen Smith, also deserved applause for his impeccable accompaniment on piano and percussion.
But the last word must remain with those choristers. I confess to a prejudice in favour of the resonant tones of the male voice but their absence paled to insignificance once Elektra began to sing. As NOCCA president Paul Maynes noted, the glory of the human voice raised in song is unmatched. I’d add: of either gender.

Sadok shares its Ukrainian culture The Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble hosts its 16th annual Okanagan Ukrainian Festival with special guests, Sunday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. This year’s dance theatre production is called, The Magic Wheat Stalk, inspired by the book, A Garland of Legends and Folk Tales from Ukraine by Oleksandra Stratiy. “This musical play is drawn from the rich history and cultural traditions of Ukrainian people and reflects the love of Ukrainian heritage,” said Sadok’s artistic director Andrea Malysh. “From the colourful sunflowers to the springtime blossoms, the stage is filled with the magic that the giant wheat stalk brings to the dancers.” The story and costumes reflect the various regions of Ukraine, from the majestic Carpathian Mountains to the golden wheat fields of Poltava. “The audience will delight in the beauty of the Ukrainian dance, music and magic which weaves this tale,” said Malysh. Joining Sadok will be the Argyll School of Performing Arts, who will perform a number, choreographed by Argyll’s Janet Hackman,
called A Tribute to St. Andrew, as both the Scottish and Ukrainians share the same patron saint. Also on the bill are Kamloops’ Pokotillo
Ukrainian Dancers and Kelowna’s Dolyna Ukrainian Dancers. The event starts at 2 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469.

Wildcrafting course helps strengthen community For The Morning Star
Dr. Chris Schenk
Comfort you can count on.
Pre-kindergarten students Amanda Morgandinho, Finley Roberts, Amelia Boss and Keira Marsh challenge their balance by walking on plastic River Rocks at Little Oak Learning Centre. This pre-kindergarten program ensures children have time for physical play to enhance their physical development,” said Sally Towers, manager of Little Oak Learning Centre in Vernon.
This June, the Okanagan will be home to a learning event that seeks to create better stewardship of ecosystems by strengthening biodiversity, growing food that supports local communities and encouraging leadership and responsibility. Re-Earthing Your Life and Community is about strengthening neighborhoods and villages. The Permaculture Design and Wildcrafting Course takes place June 6 to 16 at the Wildcraft Forest School near Lumby. The course curriculum places special emphasis on building awareness about soils and watersheds in support of the United Nations 2015 International Year of Soils. Special guest instructor is Matthew Stephens, a permaculture designer based in Chicago and the founder of the Earth Reforestation Project and Permaculture America. Stephens has become a prominent advocate for the worldwide permaculture movement and has been instrumental in creating a global network on social media to facilitate cross-communication between permaculture designers. “When people with diverse skill sets, talents and a combined understanding and mutual agreement to cooperate and collaborate with one another in small effective teams, they can achieve great things for the planet,” said Stephens. Born, raised and still living in Chicago’s South Side, Stephens said the Windy City has not typically been the first place one would think of with regards to permaculture and urban sustainability, but he is doing his part to change that as he effectively puts into practice teambuilding

He will teach a Permaculture Design Course June 6 to 16 at the Wildcraft Forest School near Lumby. expertise, knowledge of urban food deserts and the nutritional dilemmas within inner city environments. “Small scale organic gardens will always be the sustainable solution to feeding the global human population with maximum efficiency, minimal energy inputs and minimum waste,” said Stephens. For organizer and co-presenter Don Elzer, the event is a chance to help transition the Okanagan by creating what he calls re-earthers. “We need to begin to fix things ourselves,” he said. “We can no longer depend on governments, institutions and corporations to restore habitats and create food security. The system is too slow and cumbersome.” According to Elzer, a new generation
of leadership is emerging in the Okanagan eager to take positive action to solve important problems that have become too institutionalized. “Every day throughout the world and including the Okanagan we deplete our soil. We pave over it, we ignore it, we kill it. We should remind ourselves that the coming apart of a society is not dramatic, it unravels very slowly and largely without notice,” he said. “Great civilizations have fallen because they failed to prevent the degradation of the soils on which they were founded.” Re-Earthing Your Life and Community carries participants to a Permaculture Design Certificate as well as entry towards achieving a Wildcraft Practitioners Diploma for becoming a Master Wildcrafter. Participants will be guided through core wildcrafting teachings that they can apply to their approach to permaculture. This course places emphasis on introducing wild dynamics into urban, suburban, agriculture and forest edge areas and is especially designed to address present and emerging issues linked to our changing planet. This course provides tangible training that addresses water conservation, soil restoration and new opportunities within intensive small footprint gardening and agriculture as well as community and neighbourhood problem-solving and leadership. To register please visit www.wildcraftforest.com/School/11-ReEarthingWildDynamicPermaculture-1Kelowna.html This event is co-sponsored by The Okanagan Institute and the Okanagan Geotourism Initiative.

hubarb is in full season and is one of the most versatile vegetables of the early spring. It is mostly grown for its fleshy stalks, technically known as petioles. The use of rhubarb as food was first recorded in 17thcentury England when sugar became affordable to common people, and reached a peak between the 20th century’s two world wars. Commonly, it is stewed with sugar or used in pies and desserts, but it can also be put into savoury dishes or pickled. Rhubarb can be dehydrated and infused with strawberry juice to mimic the popular strawberry rhubarb pie. In traditional Chinese medicine, rhubarb roots have been used as a laxative for several millennia, and it appears in medieval Arabic and European

prescriptions. It was one of the first Chinese medicines to be imported to the West from China. And if you’re looking for a rich brown dye similar to walnut husks, rhubarb root will produce just that. My favourite rhubarb recipes include the coffee cakes below and a custard rhubarb pie which has been printed here numerous times. My problem with rhubarb is that I don’t have any growing in my garden — anyone willing to share? Rhubarb Coffee Cake 1⁄2 cup butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine
1-1⁄2 cups granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 2 cups finely chopped rhubarb Topping: 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 Tbsp. butter, softened Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter and sugar together in mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream and vanilla. Mix flour and baking soda together and fold into batter. Stir in rhubarb. Turn into greased 9x13-inch pan. Topping: Mix all ingredients together until crumbly. Sprinkle over top. Bake 30-40 minutes until done.

Bounce Back provides coping skills Tami muhlerT Special to The Morning Star
Have you been feeling kind of “blah” lately? Maybe you have lost touch with friends, and you have been telling the ones that still call that “I’m just not feeling up to it” if they ask you to get together? Maybe you have been feeling like you’ve lost some of that joy in life that you used to have? Mild to moderate depression, stress and worry affect many of us. You don’t need to keep feeling that way; help is available. The website www.heretohelp. bc.ca says, “80 per cent of people with depression who get the right treatment feel better or no longer experience symptoms at all.” Finding the right treatment can be hard and sometimes expensive. However, there are some free programs that may be right for you. The best place to start is by talking with your doctor. Your doctor can find out if you have a physical illness that may be causing you to feel low. They can also refer you to free men-
tal health programs. The Canadian Mental Health Association offers a program called Bounce Back, a free program for adults with mild to moderate depression, stress or worry. You can participate in Bounce Back without going anywhere. You receive workbooks in the mail that teach you ways to deal with stress and things you can do to feel better. A Bounce Back coach will talk with
you on the telephone to help you understand the workbooks and help you to put the words into action. One person who finished the program said: “The program was very helpful for me at the time of need.” Another person said “…the Bounce Back program gave me a better attitude towards my life and also gave me coping skills that I can continue to use in the future.” Bounce Back is avail-
able everywhere in B.C. For more information, see www.bouncebackbc.ca or call 1-866639-0522 (toll-free in B.C.) Talk with your doctor to see if it is right for you. You can “Bounce Back.” If you have thoughts of suicide please get help now; call 1800SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433); it is open 24/7 and is answered across all of B.C. Tami Muhlert is with CMHA in Vernon.

Motorcyclists collide with deer ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Two Edmonton motorcyclists suffered injuries when their vehicle struck a deer on Highway 6 Saturday afternoon. Officers from the Lumby RCMP detachment and North Okanagan Traffic Services responded to the accident in the 12000 block of Highway 6 near Angel Falls close to Gord Molendyk Needles.
“The 60-year-old driver from Edmonton told the investigating member that he was operating his BMW bike and a deer ran out in front of him,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “He could not stop and hit the deer broad-side.” The highway was closed for air ambulance to land and transport the driver of the motorcycle to Kelowna General Hospital because of injuries to his chest and leg. A 30-year-old female passenger was transported by ground to hospital as she had less serious injuries. The deer did not survive the crash.

All tickets purchased or won in promotional events for Sunday’s cancelled card will be honoured June 14. “Everybody hates rainouts,” said Van Tienhoven. “We have so many volunteers and groups, and of course, the drivers, that you have to have in place to put on a show. Everybody was good about it, though.” Sunday’s heavy rain left a large puddle inside the infield of the track. Another Summertime Mayhem Travel Trailer Day of Destruction is slated for Aug. 9 at the speedway.

Yo-Yo Dieter drops 32 lbs and keeps it off! How Much Weight Have you Lost? I lost 32 lbs in just under 4 months. How did you gain your weight? I ALWAYS struggled with my weight and was forever on one diet or another… What was the final straw that made you start your weight loss journey? I was really looking for the right education when it came to understanding healthy weight loss. Most importantly for me, I wanted to be done with the dieting roller-coaster and find a program that guaranteed LONG TERM results. U Weight Loss Clinic did precisely that for me. My energy soared and I really started to LIVE the life I’d always imagined I could!
Car Crash
How did you feel about seeking help for your weight? Truly, I was the poster girl for “Yo-Yo Diets”. That was extremely frustrating! I was ready for something that gave me long term results. U Weight Loss provided such a simple science based education that really required only a few life style tweaks to implement. The results were AMAZING!
CHARLENE SMART PHOTO
A Dodge Dart crashed into a Vernon office at the corner of 29th Street and 31st Avenue Tuesday morning. The driver, a 74-year-old Vernon woman, told police she stepped on the gas instead of the brake as she was preparing to turn right onto 29th Street. A couple of people seated inside the office a few feet from where the car ended up were not injured.
ANY BIG SURPRISES? Frankly, I was surprised I didn’t have to eat separate meals from the rest of my family. The UWL recipes actually IMPROVED the taste and quality of meals for my entire family! What made this program different than other plans you have tried? Unlike anything I had ever
tried, U Weight Loss promotes abundance, not restriction. The program is all about combining your favourite foods in such a way that they rev up your metabolism, balance your hormones and burn fat. What are your favorite meal plans? There are literally thousands to choose from but I love the yogurt parfaits, the cheesecake bites and the taco potatoes. How do you feel now? I feel amazing. I have gone from feeling sluggish, frumpy and shy to feeling energetic, outgoing and fabulous! Do you have any advice for anyone struggling with weight loss and health related challenges? Quite simply, U Weight Loss works. It’s a lifestyle that doesn’t get in the way of your life. I now work in the clinic as a coach and just LOVE my job. Every day, I witness men and women of all ages and sizes discovery the simple Science behind long term weight management …and I know EXACTLY how thrilled they feel!!

A new gazebo is being constructed in Memorial Park in Armstrong.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
The landscape is changing in Armstrong/ Spallumcheen’s Memorial Park. The Armstrong Lions Club has undertaken the construction of a 30-foot-by-40-foot gazebo in the southwest corner of the park. “The goal is to have the gazebo ready for use by June 19, which is the first evening of Music in the Park,” said Jo-Ann Jaques, with the club. After consultation with Armstrong and Spallumcheen councils, the design of the building was modified slightly so — Jaques it could function as a picnic shelter and band shell for the artists who provide the music in the park Friday evenings. The funds for the project came largely from the Tuesday evening Lions bingos. Financial support is also being provided by several local businesses as well as the two municipalities and individuals who have offered volunteer labour. “Recognition of those who have supported the Lions in this project will be recognized in a variety of ways when the gazebo construction is completed,” said Jaques.
“The goal is to have the gazebo ready for use by June 19.”

Tigers-Rocks looks like a beauty ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
One team is coming off a .500 weekend. One remains perfect. The Armstrong Shamrocks and Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers renew acquaintances as the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League rivals meet tonight at 7:30 at Kal Tire Place. Vernon beat Armstrong 12-9 in the season opening game for both teams April 24 at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. “It’s definitely going to be a good game,” said Tigers forward Ryan Sarazin, who scored four times and was named the game’s first star in Vernon’s 11-7 win over the South Okanagan Flames in their home opener Saturday at Kal Tire Place. A six-goal second period propelled the Tigers (6-0). Jordan Orr scored twice, second star Darien Ottesen popped his first-ever junior lacrosse goal and chipped in two helpers and Sean Connors added 1+3 for the Tigers, who led 3-2 after one period and 9-3 after 40 minutes. They were coming off a sloppy 8-6 road win over the Kelowna Raiders. “We definitely played a better game Saturday,” said Sarazin, who played field lacrosse for the Marquette Golden Eagles in Wisconsin this season. “We had a talk before the game and everybody came out and played great.” Jay Seaton, Steele Pelletier and Brock Wagner, on a beautiful end-to-end solo effort, rounded out the Tiger scoring in support of goalies Aaron Jensen and Jeremy Gray. Vernon outshot South Okanagan 50-45. Gray relieved Jensen with 10 minutes to go in the third period and made 12 saves on 14 shots. Isaiah Kozak and Mitch Brodt had two goals each for the Flames (4-4), who received
a solid goaltending performance from Dean Grimm. Chris Pond had four assists. Flames’ captain Kaid McLeod scored once in the first period before leaving the game with an injury. Jake Macleod added 1+4. Kaid McLeod is third in league scoring with 16-1834, four points back of the Armstrong Shamrocks’ Owen Barker (17 goals). There were just seven minor penalties assessed, four to the Tigers. The Rocks snapped a threegame losing streak Friday with a 12-8 win Friday over the Kelowna Raiders at the NorVal Sports Centre. Barker led the Shamrocks (2-5) with 4+2, giving new head coach Jim Point his first win. Nick Yadernuk and Brayden Hoggarth had two goals apiece, and singles went to Tyson Fair, Sam Hanley (2A), Kaden Sagh and Liam Drabiuk. Goalies Cole Macfarlane of Armstrong and Tristan Parece of Kelowna each made 38 saves in the penalty-filled affair which saw the Shamrocks take 71 minutes in penalties, LISA MAZUREK/MORNING STAR compared to 67 for Kelowna.

Raiders stop Shamrocks 9-8 with buzzer beater Morning Star Staff
The Kelowna Raiders beat the buzzer by nine seconds to spoil the Armstrong Shamrocks’ Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League home date Saturday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Victor Weins’ goal pushed the Raiders to a 9-8 win. The Shamrocks stormed out to a 3-0 lead and went into the break up 4-2. Andrew Schwab scored twice, while Kyle Versteeg and Steven Clark added singles. The ‘Rocks defence unravelled like a homemade sweater in the second frame,
combined with undisciplined penalties leading to several scoring opportuinites for the Raiders. The Raiders ended the second up 7-5 on the strength of four powerplay goals. Kas Boudreau replied for the ‘Rocks. “We played 10 minutes of really bad lacrosse in the second period and that cost us,” said Shamrocks’ coach Ryan Nitchie. The Irish regrouped for the third period when ‘Rocks rookie Bayne Bosquet got his first on a brilliant coast-to-coast dash down the right side before undressing the tender. The Shamrocks later tied it 8-8 on goals by Rob Rintoul and Carston Schlaak.
The Shamrocks were awarded a powerplay with less than three minutes remaining, but depsite perfect execution and no love from the post, the Irish couldn’t seal the deal. The Raiders soon gobbled up an errand shot and found a streaking Weins for the eventual dagger. “I was incredibly impressed by the resilience of the team; we battled through some tough calls and some strange bounces and fought hard to the end and tonight just wasn’t our night,” said Nitchie. Shamrocks’ captain Chad Pounder was
disappointed with the loss but remained optimistic. “We know we have a good team this year. We have a great group of players and the room is positive. We will take our lumps on this loss and learn from it and refocus on next week.” The Shamrocks take on the Kamloops Rattlers Friday at Memorial Arena. The Shamrocks return home Friday June 12 to face the Rattlers. The ‘Rocks will rumble with the Radiers the following night on their second annual Alumni Night. Former Vernon Tigers and Shamrock players of years past will be honoured.

Newbie Declan Hardy blasted a shot past the Kelowna keeper in the early minutes. Supported by the hustle of Hayden Murphy, Marcus Erho and Devin Bilodeau, the Tolko crew pressured hard all game. Jonah Violini drilled the ball from midfield to waiting teammate Danny McLennan, who won the battle and supplied the insurance. Vernon was also unstoppable in the afternoon against the Shuswap team with Jonah Kiernan in net fronted by the strong defense of Qui Parker and Roan Reid. The triple ‘D’ front line connected with a laser pass from new teammate Daxton Podollan to Hardy, who followed it through to McLennan for the goal.

Murphy marvellous as Silver Stars draw RPM 2-2
Morning Star Staff
Desperate for more playing time, South African transfer Ian Murphy surprised everybody by leaving Bosman Accounting and signing with the Silver Stars after Game 1 of the new season. Murphy has been money for his new club and scored twice as the Stars rallied to gain a 2-2 draw with Kelowna RPM Automotive in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #3. The Stars (2-2-1) controlled play for the opening 25 minutes but failed to capitalize on their chances. The game turned after an errant Stars’ back pass pulled keeper Ted Lurkins off the line, and despite his lynx-like quickness, he was beaten to the ball which was easily deposited. RPM (3-2-1) went up 2-0 just before half, but the Stars cut the lead in half after a corner from Brian Eso was directed by Gary Baker to Murphy, who hit a first-time rocket from 20 yards bottom corner. The Stars pressed hard for the equalizer with David Howes, who frustrated the RPM midfield all game with his aggressive
play, putting a header off the cross bar. Barry MacKay then found Baker in front of the net and he nodded the ball back to an on-rushing Murphy who buried the equalizer. Sixty-two year old Al Bensmiller, who plays like he’s 52, almost won the game for the Stars after a strong run late in the game ended with a chip shot that cleared the bar by inches. Brown Benefits bounced the Turn-Key Ogopogos 4-1 at Parkinson Rec #9 in Kelowna. The Ogopogos came out flying with lots of early pressure and Bryan Schenker connected with a swift kick after breaking in from a sweet link by Brad Conlin. Tony Gonzales narrowly beat charging keeper Dan Ondzik to a rolling ball before levelling the score. Browns (5-1) came out meaning business in the final 45, earning two controversial penalty kicks, both converted by Don Brown. Roland Riedstra took a gorgeous feed from Duane Dennis and was taken down hard in the box just before shooting. There was no call and while the Pogos debated the play, the Browns keeper booted the ball to breaking forward Lionel Hoffman for
insurance in the 80th minute. Player of the Match for the 2-2-1 Ogopogos was central fullback Clint Dickinson. Brandt’s Creek shaded Bosman 2-1 at Marshall Field #4. Speedy James Cotter put Bosman up midway through the opening half on an assist by Carl McLennan. Lars Martens equalized on a header near the 68th minute. Glen Heagle’s 30-yard shot somehow sailed in five minutes before time was up. Henk Bosman nailed the crossbar minutes before the equalizer. Brandt’s is 2-2-1, Bosman 0-4-1. Steve Reston netted the winner as North Country Appraisals Kickers edged Cantinas 4-3 in a crazy game at Mission #10. It was 3-0 North Country at the break.

Sonics 2nd in valley soccer Morning Star Staff
The South Kam Titans shaded the Seaton Sonics 2-1 in the Okanagan Valley Junior Girls Soccer League playoff final Saturday at DND. The Titans went undefeated on the season, stopping the West No. 2 seeded Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 3-0 in the semifinals. The No. 2 North Sonics, coached by Shelley Henry, surprised the top-ranked VSS Panthers 2-1 in the other semis. South Kamloops opened the scoring in the 25th minute on a Marie Claire Marshall lob shot. Seaton levelled the score in the 50th minute on a tricky little shot by striker Brooke Berube, who was set up by Kalli Hamilton-Gee after her long sprint down the starboard sidelines. The Titans replied four minutes later on a beautiful arching shot by Marshall which caught the top left corner over keeper Shawna Bradley. Bradley was voted the Most Outstanding Keeper in the six-team playdowns. The Titans stopped the Sonics 4-0 in preliminary play Friday afternoon at MacDonald Park. The Sonics had two great chances in the last minutes, including Mason Christensen, including an in-direct free kick by Christensen after a nasty foul by a Titan. The Sonics got goals from Christensen and Evangeline Koshure in their semifinal victory over VSS. Lailah Akkurt was stellar on defence, while Alyssa Racine was particularly pesky and effective at centre midfield and the speedy Ava Haldane was flying all day long.

Nick Merkley, Leon Draisaitl and Gage Quinney scored two goals each as the Rockets evened their record at 1-1, guaranteeing Kelowna at least a spot in Thursday’s tiebreaker. Kelowna face the Oshawa Generals (2-0) tonight (4:30 Pacific). The Rockets roared out to a 3-0 lead before the game was 15 minutes old. Despite a brief pushback by the Quebec champs late in the first period, the Rockets – led by Draisaitl and Merkley – dominated play much of the night and looked a lot more like the team head coach Dan Lambert has come to know. “I thought our best players were our best players,” said Lambert. “They controlled the game like they can, they made a lot of good plays.” The Rockets needed just 52 seconds to get their first lead of the Memorial Cup as Merkley kicked the puck skate to stick to beat Louis-Philip Guindon LISA MAZUREK/MORNING STAR for his second of the tournament.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHEN OVERTRICKS C O U N T, G E T L U C K Y Dorothy Dix, the pseudonym of journalist Elizabeth Meriwether Gilmer, who died in 1951, said, “There isn’t a single human being who hasn’t plenty to cry over, and the trick is to make the laughs outweigh the tears.” At the bridge table, if one side is laughing, the other is usually crying. Today’s deal occurred during a pairs event, where overtricks were important because each score was compared with the other pairs holding the same cards. How should South try for the maximum in this deal? He is in four spades, and West leads the heart queen. North used a transfer bid
to show five-plus spades and at least zero points. South, with a maximum, four-card spade support and a doubleton, jumped to three spades - this is known as a superaccept. North, who had been undecided between inviting and insisting on game, now had no qualms in bidding four spades. South saw four losers: one spade and three clubs. If he had immediately led a trump, the defenders surely would have taken those tricks. Instead, declarer had to try to jettison those club losers. He won the first trick, cashed dummy’s diamond queen (the honour from the shorter hand first), played a diamond to his ace, discarded a club
on the diamond king, and, because it could not cost, pitched another club on the diamond jack. If it had been ruffed with a low spade, South would have broken even. Here, though, East had to ruff with his spade ace, so the contract made with an overtrick for a tied top.

AŌer a year of reŇecƟon and travel, he decided to enlist, took a commission, and served 20 years in the RAF Regiment, specializing in airĮeld defense Θ Įre-ĮghƟng, and in nuclear, chemical Θ biological ground defense. As a SƋuadron >eader, his Įnal 2-year posƟng in ϭϵϲϵ was as an edžchange oĸcer with Canadian Forces in KƩawa. While there, David and Jo decided to immigrate to Canada, so David took early reƟrement from the RAF, and in ϭϵϳϭ they brought their family to sernon, .C.

AŌer undergoing two cardiac Ƌuadruple bypass surgeries in ϭ2 hours in 200ϲ, David͛s health remained precarious, but he refused to give in to the many physical challenges he faced; he was determined to “carry on” as usual. He was a doer - he hated being without a project – whether it dealt with something new, or with something old that he could mend and make new. His most recent “job” was as handyman at AbbeyĮeld House, and he was working diligently on a project there to improve communicaƟon between AbbeyĮeld and Vernon Restholm. CremaƟon has taken place, and David͛s ashes will be scaƩered around the signpost at the David Jones Lookout above Ewing͛s Landing. A CelebraƟon of the life and work of this remarkable man will be held at the Powerhouse Theatre at 2pm on Sunday, June ϭϰth. “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” ;Dylan ThomasͿ

LeRoy Edwin Peterson December 12, 1924 – May 21, 2015
LeRoy Edwin Peterson, a loving father, brother, uncle, great uncle, greatgreat uncle and friend passed away peacefully on May 21, 2015, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. LeRoy was born in South Vancouver, but shortly after moved to the family farm in south Langley where they were one of the pioneer families in the area. LeRoy remained on the family dairy farm with wife Elaine and daughters Carole and Marlene, supplementing his income with logging, contract haying, truck driving and numerous other jobs. The family farm is now part of the Campbell River Regional Park. LeRoy then moved to the Walnut Grove area for a number of years until the subdivisions started to close in. In 1990, LeRoy with wife Norma moved to Vernon where he resided until his passing. LeRoy was predeceased by his sister Esther, his brother Ralph, first wife Elaine in 1968 and second wife Norma in 2008. He is survived by daughters Carole Peterson and Marlene Mills; sisters Frances Engvik and Elvira Sundstrom and many nieces and nephews. A large part of LeRoy’s life in Vernon revolved around his social/volunteer efforts with community groups and helping out family and friends on all kinds of tasks. He was a long time volunteer for the Vernon Winter Carnival, North Okanagan Wood Carvers, Vernon Poultry and Pigeon club at the Armstrong Fall Fair (IPE), Vernon Collectors Club and the Vernon Outdoors Club. In 2006 he was the recipient of the Jopal Award for his work with the Winter Carnival. At other times he was out cutting firewood for friends, collecting Christmas trees, picking fruit for family and friends from Vernon to Falkland to Langley and beyond up until last year. His wood carvings are enjoyed by many and he assisted in carving scrollwork for a Viking Ship on display at the Scandinavian Centre in Burnaby. He was always there to lend a hand as needed. LeRoy enjoyed traveling, many times to Minot, North Dakota for the annual Norwegian Festival, plus trips to Sweden and throughout North America. He had a particular interest in curling and attended a number of major events both locally and in Europe. At other times you would see him following the daily happenings and mishaps with his beloved Toronto Blue Jays. A remembrance tea will be held at the Schubert Center, 3505 - 30th Avenue, in Vernon on May 29, 2015 from 2 pm to 4:30 pm for family and friends to remember a true friend. A graveside service will be held in Langley in late June for family and friends to say their goodbyes at the Langley Lawn cemetery on 208th Street. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice if you so desire. Many thanks, to all the friends and relatives that helped out these last few months, and the friends from his coffee groups. A special thank you to Fay Benedict, for her support to the family, and to the doctors and nurses at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital that kept him comfortable in his last few days.

recently participated in a meeting of the standing committee on finance which is studying the financing of terrorism. Prior to being a part of this study, I had many questions that I am certain most of you have asked. Questions such as, “Where do these terrorists get their money to buy guns and armaments?” and, “Why can’t governments stop the flow of money to these terrorist groups?” Well, the very informed witnesses attending the committee meeting answered many of those questions. Professor Bill Tupman, from the U.K., told the comColin Mayes mittee how oil from sites controlled by ISIS is flowing through Turkey to the Black Sea, where a process of paper-juggling allows the oil to enter the European market with no determination of the oil’s place of origin. This brings in as much as $1 million a day to fund the so-called Islamic State’s aggression. Professor Christian Leuprecht, of Canada’s Royal Military College, informed the committee that one of the most effective vehicles for both money laundering and financing of terrorist rings is cigarettes. In 2013, 16 people around New York City were arrested in operation Tobacco Road. It is estimated that this illegal operation alone raised $22 million to finance Hezbollah and other terrorist operations while costing the city of New York $80 million. Various Middle East countries are also funding terrorist groups directly which is very troubling. Tracking money is also difficult in the age of Internet. People in the U.S. and Canada can simply go on PayPal and donate $1,000 to groups such as ISIS and there is next to no way to trace donors. These are the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies. One of the witnesses at the finance committee recommended that the RCMP establish a branch solely focused on forensic auditing to trace money leaving Canada as well as the identifying the sources of funding. I agree with this recommendation. If the global community doesn’t stop the flow of money to terrorist groups, they will be able to buy more sophisticated weapons and this will only increase the threat to free western democracies. One thing for certain is that our allies should endeavor to purchase their oil from countries that are friends, and not enemies, of freedom. Colin Mayes is MP for Okanagan-Shuswap.
