International soccer players sidelined ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
International students looking to play their favourite sport in Greater Vernon have been red carded. Thanks to a ruling from soccer’s world governing body, FIFA, more than 50 international high school students from Grades 8 to 12, living and studying in Vernon, have been told they can’t play on any youth league soccer team in the city. “It stems from a FIFA regulation passed down from Canada Soccer Association to B.C. Soccer to the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association,” said Jason Elligott, acting executive director of B.C. Soccer Association. The ruling states that all individuals that come from another country and want to play soccer need to have an International Transfer Certificate. Elligott said one of the requirements to obtain an ITC when going through the application process is that the student’s parents need to be moving with the child to Canada for purposes other than playing soccer. If the player can’t obtain an ITC, they can’t register for a local soccer league. To be covered by B.C. Soccer Association’s insurance policy, a player must be registered. BCSA and North Okanagan Youth Soccer can’t register a player because of the FIFA ruling, so they can’t insure the player as well. “It’s not a Vernon-only issue,” said Elligott. “It’s happening in all pockets in B.C. and across Canada. We’ve had discussions with the CSA around the regulation and they’re talking to FIFA about it.” International students have played in NOYSA before, but FIFA has made it clear to the governing bodies in Canada that the rules must be adhered to. “Our board has done everything we could to make this work,” said Marina Korberg, executive director of NOYSA. “We’ve had discussion with B.C. Soccer, we’ve talked with insurance companies, but because we can’t register the players in the first place, they’re not to be insured and we can’t get them outside insurance. “We’re in a position where we want to see all of the kids playing soccer.” International students can play on schoolbased teams or school-sanctioned programs. Derri-Ann Cooper is an international teacher coordinator in the Vernon School District, which houses about 200 international students. Some students are here for five months. Some are here for three years. Cooper said the students are devastated by the ruling.

“They would bring so much skill...” — Derri-Ann Cooper
“I understand the ruling not allowing import players to play but I’m not clear as to why they can’t play house soccer,” said Cooper. “They would bring so much skill and leadership to minor soccer.” Cooper said one student looks out the window from his billet’s home overlooking Marshall Field, where there are five soccer pitches, almost all of them in use on the weekends and evenings.

“He wants to know why he can’t even practise with the kids,” said Cooper. Luis Hernandez, 16, is a Grade 11 student and a goalkeeper from Guanajuato, located in the middle of Mexico. He said he would love to play in Vernon with his friends and share his skills. “We love the game,” he said. International teachers such as Cooper have tried to create a league for the students, and have received great support from the Vernon area schools. The problem is finding a field. “We get an hour and 15 minutes every Thursday at MacDonald Park at Seaton Secondary but we only get one field, so some kids don’t play for two-to-three weeks,” said

Cooper, who helped organize games between Vernon and Kelowna international students at MacDonald. “They sometimes have to miss school to play soccer because we can’t get any field times away from school.” Added Hernandez: “We prefer to play with all of the people to share our skills but we’re happy to be able to play.” Cooper hopes the CSA’s discussions over the ruling with FIFA go well. “I get they’re worried about imports but the rules have to change for those kids,” she said. “International students bring a lot to every community and they should be able to participate in all activities that other students are able to.”

Band clarifies stance Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Indian Band insists its position on Commonage rail corridor needs to be fully understood by local officials and residents. On Monday, the B.C. Supreme Court is expected to decide on the band’s request to have the sale of the Canadian National corridor to area jurisdictions postponed. “The reason we sought to postpone the sale was not to prevent the creation of a multi-use corridor,” said Chief Byron Louis. “We fully recognize the benefits of being closer to nature and experiencing all of her beauty. Our people have lived in and around this valley for thousands of years for a reason.” But Louis says the band sought an injunction to the sale to the Regional District of North Okanagan, Lake Country and Kelowna because the rail corridor goes through land that used to be part of an Indian reserve in the 1870s. “Canada, and by proxy, CN and the municipalities, hide behind the phrase no lawful obligation when it comes to the injustice of having our own land allotted to us in 1877 and then taken back 15 years later, which is, and pardon the expression, the very definition of Indian giving,” he said.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
A court ruling on the CN rail corridior is expected Monday. “Regardless of the decision of Justice Myers Monday, the OKIB will continue to assert our title and rights to all of of our territory. In 1910, the chiefs of the Okanagan, Shuswap and Thompson joined together and presented a letter to Sir Wilfred Laurier demanding the settlement of the land question.” Louis says it’s time for Okanagan communities to follow the lead of Vancouver. “Seeking reconciliation with First Nations people is the only way forward without having past injustices continuing to resurface,” he said. “Reconciliation means taking the time to listen, hear, acknowledge that you understand what has been told to you and be willing to do more about it than say, ‘it happened a long time ago.’”

Park debate goes to the dogs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Restricting dogs at Marshall Field is generating considerable debate. The City of Vernon is working with the Regional District of North Okanagan to adjust the boundary line between the airport and Marshall Field because RDNO is planning a fence to reduce conflicts between dogs and people on the sports field. “We’re trying to fight something that won’t be successful,” said Coun. Catherine Lord. Coun. Scott Anderson, who frequents the park, doesn’t believe there is a significant issue. “There are few enough dog walks in that area,” he said. RDNO is requiring
“We’re trying to fight something that won’t be successful.” — Catherine Lord
all dogs to be on a leash within the Marshall Field property but the area to the north of the proposed fence would be part of city lands. “Staff would like to convey a consistent message with RDNO that the properties, both Marshall Field and the area north of the fence, are an on-leash dog area, possibly making the construction of the fence between the two properties unnecessary,” states a city staff report.
Downtown playground proceeds Kids will soon have a place to play in downtown Vernon. The City of Vernon is moving ahead with a park next to the 31st Avenue transit terminus, including a playground. “We don’t have very much for kids downtown,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Work on the project, which will also include a seating area, is expected to be completed by
the late fall. The price tag is $90,000. Noise fence denied A developer wanting to minimize industrial noise has been shot down by Vernon council. Council has denied a request from Tony Sammartino to construct a sound barrier wall in future city rightof-way along Mt. Baldur Drive. “We don’t want the city to incur expenses to maintain structures,” said Ed Stranks, acting director of engineering services. “Walls can be subject to vandalism and they do have a surface life.” Sammartino says he was willing to pay for the fence and turn it over to the city once constructed. “This fence will help
to decrease all of the noted potential problems,” he said. Sammartino is constructing the last phase of a 120-lot development, with three duplex lots.

the intent for that land,” said Mike Reiley, director of development services. But one politician remains opposed to the proposal, specifically for the larger lot. “That seems to me to be working against the principles of trying to retain agricultural land,” said Coun. Richard Enns. Osborn says there is a greater need than agriculture for the land. “In the North Okanagan we are short of industrial space,” said Osborn, adding that the property doesn’t seem to have much future for agriculture. “It seems to fit in, in the community development, in Coldstream.” Coun. Doug Dirk suggests the ranch could beautify the area. “Maybe aesthetically some trees planted along the road would be more of a benefit.” That recommendation is being made to the ALC if it approves the ranch application.

You wouldn’t know it, from watching her dance around at the fundraiser, making everyone smile, but just one month ago, Nova suffered a fairly major stroke. “She is doing really well,” said Matovich, as she had to re-learn a number of basic functions, like walking, again. “But she is on some pretty heavy meds.” This year’s event is the second, following one in 2013, and Matovich hopes to continue hosting them every two years.

The list gets longer
ust some thoughts on the world around us such at it is as we, believe it or not, head into the month of June.... ....mere minutes after I write a column complaining about the lack of scoring in the NHL playoffs and the frustrating fascination with blocking shots comes two of the best, actionpacked and yes, high-scoring semifinal series since the Edmonton Oiler hey days (and that’s awhile ago folks, you know when they made the playoffs and everything, ahem). In the past the playoffs have petered out on the interest scale as the Canadian teams drop off and the checking gets tighter and tighter and whoever scores first wins and.... Glenn Mitchell But this year 3-0 leads aren’t even safe (hello Canucks) and home ice means little, except maybe if you’re only casually watching you can tell who scored by the crowd reaction. You truly don’t know who is going to win going into any game, the Rangers’ record in elimination games is truly incredible going into this weekend’s game, and it’s fast and hard-hitting and intense....and I’m not getting my yard work done at all..... ......speaking of yard work, we had the outside of our house painted recently, and it looks wonderful (although any major household project is more stressful than you think it’s going to be as it plays havoc with your daily routine) but it’s leading down a road I wasn’t anticipating. You see once you get your house looking better, it shows up some of the stuff that isn’t, well, as new or in as good condition as the new paint job. Like the welcome mats (not that I noticed this one, but my wife certainly did), and the lights (which are now the wrong colour so I did see that one coming) the deck, the roof (don’t
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
want to talk about that one cause I know it’s expensive) and then there’s the inside the home stuff... So instead of checking one thing off the list and feeling good about completing and paying for it and actually making the list smaller, the list is now growing exponentially, as is the ‘kaching, kaching’ sound in my head. Sure it’s exciting but a little scary too as we try to keep the excitement of a rejuvenated living space balanced with what’s realistic to do on our rather modest budget. For now, I’m just going to pop a beverage this weekend, pull up a lawn chair with the better half, and toast the paint job before we move on, or don’t, to the next phase of homeownership..... ......and speaking of yard work, again, I have some time off so I’m hoping to get the yard looking as good as the house, again more pressure placed on yours truly – it’s OK I’ll get over it, plus did I mention the house looks wonderful? Hockey will actually end soon and I’ll get some stuff done around the old abode. If the truth be told we’ve done some stuff already and I’ve been to the dump on at least three occasions in May (mostly yard stuff too, I might add), each time with a better feeling than the previous experience. There’s something freeing about going to the dump and actually getting rid of stuff that you’ve been meaning to get rid of for, well, longer than I care to mention. You see I have trouble throwing stuff out, I’m not sure what you call that disease, well, except being incredibly lazy. Although I like to think there’s a little bit of sentimentality mixed in there, not wanting to let go of the past, or some semblance of it anyway, but that doesn’t necessarily explain the state of my clothes closet or how many very small minor hockey jackets we have hanging in the downstairs closet (or maybe it does). Anyway, more projects for yours truly to do on his holiday. Looking forward to it, kind of.
FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, has, of course, been splashed all over the news lately for all the wrong reasons, ie, bribery, scandal. Not wanting to kick FIFA while their down, but their rule that doesn’t allow international students to play in local, non-schoolsanctioned soccer leagues, must be looked at. In Greater Vernon, there are approximately 200 international students, ie, students who come from different countries, whose parents pay to have them come and live and study in the community. Of those 200, there are about 50 students who are in high school grades and who love the game of soccer. If the school doesn’t have a soccer team or program, the only other option is the North Okanagan Youth Soccer Association. And NOYSA can’t let the international students play in their program because of a FIFA ruling that states any international player must apply for an International Transfer Certificate and to get that, the student must be moving to Canada with his or her parents for purposes other than just soccer. NOYSA is simply following the lead of B.C. Soccer, which follows the Canadian Soccer Association who falls under FIFA. NOYSA’s hands are tied. The point of the rule seems to be not allowing local teams to use imported players but it’s not like local youth associations actively recruit imports. The international students pay to come here. They live here. They go to school here. They shop here. So why can’t they play here? If they’re better than the local kids, then the local kids have a chance to learn from their peers. How can that be a bad thing? This is another case of red tape spoiling sports for youth.

Foreign policy overhaul required
was born and raised in Western Canada in the late 1950s. I remember as a kid growing up how Canada was recognized on the world stage as a leader in helping to resolve conflicts around the globe with both our peacekeeping abilities or providing people that could come up with the solutions in resolving conflicts in other nations. In some cases, we provided humanitarian aid to those citizens who were directly affected while solutions were being reached. We had a considerable amount of influence and were well respected for this. Over the last 12 years or so, I have noticed a disturbing change to this policy. Our governments of today seems to want the average Canadian citizen to believe that the military stance is the way of the new millennium. I'll provide you with a few examples. This policy has been used in the Middle East for the past number of years and we now have more displaced citizens there than ever in the history of the world, and
FOR THE KIDS Alan and Jim Hannabauer, owners of the Vernon R-Xtra Storage Centre, held their first annual dilent auction and garage sale, with all proceeds going to the Vernon Shrine Club to help in its goal of assisting our local children in need of medical care and assistance. On behalf of the Vernon Shrine Club, we would like to thank Allan and Jim for their kind and generous donation of $820 raised from the silent auction lockers and $1,180 from the gate, food and garage sale items sold. An amazing $2,000 has been raised, all to help children. We would also like to thank manager Jim Tennant and his staff at Save-On Foods, for their donation of food and beverages. Thank you to the storage tenants and general public who participated, attended and supported this worthy cause. For more information on what the Shriners do, please visit their website at Shriners B.C. We would like to conclude with a message from the head shriner of B.C. and Yukon, Potentate Dan Mellor. “It's never too
the wars rage on. We are now providing soldiers in Ukraine to train their soldiers in the middle of a cease fire (Minsk II agreement) and referring to this as humanitarian aid. Interestingly, Canada and the U.S. did not play a direct role in the talks that led to the finalization of the Minsk II agreement. It was the leaders of Germany, France and Russia. And where is the clean water, food medical supplies and basic shelters for their citizens who are caught up in this mess? A large majority of the population on late to have a happy childhood.” Jake Terpstra, Secretary/Hospital Rep Vernon Shrine Club TICK TOCK In 2011, Vernon city council committed substantial funds to replace the workings of the tower clock across from the post office. The location of this clock is significant as the clock was originally in the tower of the Vernon post office located on the corner of 30th Avenue and 30th Street downtown. Don't look for a clock tower because it was the victim of some unfortunate renovations many years ago. The tower clock, however, was saved and reinstalled in the city block. Recently, I noted that the new tower clock appears to be malfunctioning and has not displayed the correct time for several weeks now. Ironically, the original antique restored clock is keeping excellent time but only for the visitors to the museum. I was once told by a realtor that if you really want to make a good impression, throw out all of the dead plants and fix all of
both sides of this conflict want peace at any cost, and the return of some sort of normalcy in their lives. Finally, I turned on the television the other day and noticed the constant bombardment of a specific commercial sponsored by our government showing our soldiers jumping out of a helicopter and the narrator referring to this as, "protecting our values." Once again, is this suggesting to us that the military stance is the way we are going to achieve this? I don't know what's behind all of this but there are some fundamental changes the broken stuff. The summer tourist season is almost upon us and we should be putting our best foot forward. I think we should fix the clock and by we, I mean of course Vernon city council. Shawn Lee GARBAGE CONCERNS Residents, out-of-towners and tourists, quit littering Vernon with your garbage. You people have no respect, value and love of what could be a beautiful city. Take your own garbage home with you all of the time. What do you think Vernon is, a garbage dump? It is time everybody didn't litter in Vernon anymore, whether you are an adult, a teen or a child. Look around Vernon for once and see how ugly you have made Vernon. Grow up and start to make Vernon the beautiful city it once was. Have respect and value for Vernon. Be proud of your city. Do not litter anymore. Get caught littering and you will be fined by the City of Vernon. I have been to many clean cities around
being made in Canadian foreign policy worldwide, and as a result, we are now receiving threats from groups who denounce our military position. I truly believe the vast majority of Canadians do not support the military stance as a solution that will bring peace to our world. We need to rethink this position now to ensure a bright future for our children. In conclusion, by promoting open dialogue, speaking the truth, respecting others and demonstrating real diplomacy by listening to the other side's point of view, you will find peace will come naturally. Essentially, removing the reasons for war. We cannot stray from this line of thinking because this is what we as Canadians represent to the world and it is the main reason why people from all over this planet want to immigrate here. I love Canada. Let's get back to helping people in need worldwide by encouraging peaceful solutions, not military ones. C. Collins B.C. and they beat Vernon by a long shot. So from now on, no more littering. David Gregoire

the district’s academies for an additional fee. ■■■ Most elementary schools in the district offer school supplies to students for a nominal fee. School supplies are charged at $35 for kindergarten to Grade 3, and $40 for Grades 4 to 7. Cherryville and Beairsto do not provide supplies, but provide supply lists through their web sites. There are optional field trips with individual fees for each program, such as skiing and swimming, with costs varying depending on the trip and fundraising activities. Workbooks are optional and supplied by the district but if a student wishes to purchase their own copy of a book there are costs incurred, from $25 for a History 12 book, to $41 for accounting. Some students may want to use a certain work book but are not required to pay for it unless they want to take it home and write in it. For clothing and textiles, industrial education and fine arts, basic supplies are provided but if students want to upgrade to higher quality materials, there is a cost recovery attached. “In woodworking, we would provide materials such as pine but if you want to make a table out of oak, then you would have to pay for that.” There is a payment and refund schedule in place for parents who have paid fees but leave the district before the school year has finished, and trustee Robert Lee expressed concern over the paper work and bookkeeping required to refund small amounts. “I know it’s not a large amount but to some parents it is, so I think we have an obligation to return the money,” said acting secretary-treasurer Adrian Johnson.

Canadians are invited to the ParticipACTION Open House Day June 6 at GoodLife Fitness clubs across the country, including Vernon. It will be the first of several opportunities for Canadians to try the gym for free as part of the collaboration. “Canadians aren’t moving their bodies enough to reap all the good things that come from being active, such as reduced risk of chronic disease, better fitness, more fun, healthy body weight, self-confidence, new skills and better mental health,” said Elio Antunes, president and CEO of ParticipACTION, a national non-profit organization that helps Canadians sit less and move more.

The Vernon School District wants to make sure students dealing with mental health issues have the services they need. “We had a request from the Vernon Counselling Association because we have had a lot of serious incidents around mental health issues,” said district superintendent Joe Rogers. “We thought it would be an appropriate time to look into the counselling services we offer and if what we are doing is meeting the needs of our kids.” The idea is to form a comJoe Rogers mittee made up of both counsellors and school trustees to make sure the services are in place and that they are accessible to students. ■■■ The district’s international program will continue to welcome students from around the world with no change in fees for the 2015-16 school year. “Last year we added the activities fee because not all students want to do the same activities and it’s worked better in getting more kids involved,” said Rogers. The activity fee for two semesters is $250 per student. Total cost for an international student to attend school in the district for two semesters — 10 months — is $22,500. The fee includes tuition, placement, homestay and medical insurance, as well as the activity fee. Students also have the option of attending one of

City drives bike rentals RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Pedal power will be an option for tourists wanting to explore Vernon this summer. City council has agreed to lease a portion of the visitor information centre to the Downtown Vernon Association for bicycle rentals from June 12 to Sept. 18. “It will be a pilot project and we will see how it goes,” said Coun. Dalvir Nahal, who Dalvir Nahal voted in favour of the initia-
tive. “It could boost tourism.” Lone opposition came from Coun. Scott Anderson. “It gives an unfair advantage to a city enterprise when there is a bike shop downtown,” he said. “We shouldn’t be in the business of creating a competitive advantage over another.” All costs associated with the operation, including insurance, marketing and purchasing the bicycles, will be the responsibility of the DVA. Instead of the DVA paying rent for the space, the city will receive 15 per cent of the gross revenue generated from renting bikes.
Fox run needs organizer Morning Star Staff
A local resident is needed to help keep Terry Fox’s dream alive to find a cure for cancer. The Terry Fox Foundation is currently looking for an individual to organize this fall’s 35th annual Terry Fox Run. “For the past 30 years, Vernon has hosted a run,” said Donna White, provincial director. “The run is an opportunity for people of a variety of backgrounds and ages to come together and contribute to the growing total of close to $700
million that has been raised, worldwide in Terry’s name, in support of impressive and vital progress made in cancer research over the past three decades.” The responsibilities for the volunteer run organizer include recruiting committee members, confirming the route, promoting the run, and overseeing run day activities. The time commitment ranges from two to four hours weekly during the months leading up to national run day, Sept. 2.
Whether as a couple or individual, the volunteer run organizer is assisted by the Terry Fox Foundation in the planning process, and given the resources to make the event a success. “The Terry Fox Run has been with us in Vernon since 1985,” said White. “An astounding $147,000 has been raised at this location for innovative cancer research.” For more information or to volunteer, contact Donna White at 1-888-836-9786 or donna. white@terryfoxrun.org.

5% of pedestrian deaths occur at speeds of under 50 km/h.
67% of deaths occurring on roads happen where speed limits are 50 km/h or above.
Incident severity increases with speed.

On residential roads, there is very little difference in travel time between going 30 km/h and 50 km/h. Drivers still have to stop at intersections, wait at lights, and stop at stop signs. www.thyphys.nuim.ie

A fun event will help partner a visually impaired person with a four-legged guide. The Vernon Lions Club’s second annual Bowling in the Dark is Saturday, June 6 at Lincoln Lanes. “The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Bowl event provides awareness of visual impairment and blindness through a blindfold or specialized glasses that mimic various eye diseases and disorders,” said Gail Pifer, with the Vernon Lions Club. “Each bowler experiences seeing and bowling through the eyes — Gail Pifer of someone who is visually impaired.” The funds raised provide the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide School with funds to breed, raise, foster and train dogs for their dog guide programs. “Through the support and dedication of Vernon Lions Club members and the wonderful community of Vernon, last year we made our goal of $5,000 and this year we have set our goal at double that,” said Pifer. “The event has grown and is now taking place in communities across Canada with all proceeds supporting the Canine Vision Dog Guide program.” A new bonus for the local event will be hamburgers, fries and pop being sold by the Vernon Lions Club from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the bowling alley. The first game will begin at 6 p.m. Registration must be completed by June 3 to ensure teams have their own lane. You can make up a team of six for $150. “We hope to have many prizes and a gift basket raffle along with a 50/50 draw,” said Pifer. “You do not have to bowl to join us. We encourage you to drop in and visit too.” Team registration and pledge forms are available from 250-540-8763 or at www.vernonlionsclub.ca. Major sponsors are Petland, the Vernon Veterinary Clinic, the Mustard Seed Clinic and Dr. Mathias Fellenz.

Considered Western Canada’s premiere invitational event, the top 150 high school students and the top-25 Grade 9 kids are invited. “This is gonna be really cool,” said Beauregard. “I’m honoured and really looking forward to this opportunity.” The camp goes Wednesday in Victoria and is run by Darren Reisig, who played in the National Lacrosse League from 200207 with the Vancouver Ravens, San Jose Stealth and the Portland LumberJax. Roughly standing 5-foot-7, Beauregard will be sized up against competition much older than him, but he isn’t backing down. “It’s going to be challenging; these guys will be bigger, faster and hit harder.

With a quick goal by the Green Rockets in the 15th minute, things were not looking good for Sir Winston’s Attack Thursday night at Marshall #5. But a little tough-love coaching from Greg Thalheimer and a gorgeous goal by speedy and sure-footed striker Brandi Wejr set the purple squad in motion for a 4-1 Division 2 women’s soccer victory. Wejr went on to score another goal, and Shelby Fisher claimed two brilliant goals of her own as Sir Winston’s stretched their undefeated streak to seven games. Both sides played hard, enjoying an evenly-matched game full of hard tackles, deadly breakaways and fair play. Celine Conly, normally a striker, dropped back to centre midfield and did a masterful job for the Attack. Brianna Thalheimer turned in a bold showing as sweeper – using her speed, smart game-sense and hard kicks up the field to lead the charge. Amber Miller brought her distinctive graceful style to
the pitch. The OTC/Sunterra Sistas also ran their unbeaten string to seven by grounding the Fabulous Four 3-1 at Marshall #4. Andrea Zubot flicked a through ball to onrushing Krista Gutknecht, who one-timed an impressive left-footer top cheddar, leaving Fantastic’s fast-talking keeper Kris Ponto speechless for at least a moment. Shortly after, Gutknecht fed Sarah Croken for a 2-0 lead at the recess. Keeper Wendy Nadeau made a superb attempt at a diving save, just missing by a couple inches on a Fab Four penalty kick by Brooke Hackle early in the second half. Carmen Kinniburgh cleaned up a rebound on a scramble for the final Sista goal. Just returning from injury, Becky Birbilis never missed a beat on the back line for the orange girls. The Fab Four received excellent midfield work from Kylie Breton and Nathalie Messner, while terrific support came from hustling Jackie Kersey and Michelle

Paul McCardle scored twice in the final 10 minutes as the Silver Stars stopped Kal Tire 2-1 in a showdown of Vernon sides in the Okanagan 55+ Soccer League Thursday night at MacDonald Park.

The Stars (4-3) enjoyed numerous corners and goal chances on feeds from in tight, but either missed the net or were stymied by Pete (The Heat) Richter. McCardle’s shot richocheted off defender Ron Krause in the 80th minute and McCardle buried the winner six minutes later after a nice feed by Brian Eso. McCardle took the Ye Old English Fish & Chips Man of the Match with Eso and Steve Coombs earning mentions. The Tiremen dipped to 4-1-2.

Nitros clip Gators Morning Star Staff
The Dynamite clipped the White House Mortgage Gators 10-8 in Vernon Women’s Slo Pitch League Wednesday night at Kin Park. Gators’ leadoff hitter Katie Carter did her best Jose Reyes impression, going 3-for-4 with a bases loaded triple and Melissa Locke jacked a two-run bomb. Alenna Cameron went 3-for-4 and Nancy Lafreniere went 2-for-3 at the dish with an RBI. The Garth Gartner Construction Ice Cold Pitches toppled the Dozers 14-8 at Kin Park. Jennifer Gartner cranked two dingers and five RBI for the Pitches, while Krista Horton (4-for4), Courtney Bissell (3-for-3), Marcie Fairbrother (3-for-3) and Kailea Kibblewhite (3-3) sparkled. The Tenacity clubbed the Cold Pitches 13-8 in Game 2. Tracy Bell and Taylor Weixl went 4-for-4 and Bissell went 3-for-4 for the Cold Pitches.

Schroeders celebrate 50 years The family of Ron and Irene Schroeder are happy to announce their 50th wedding anniversary. In the summer of 1963, Ron & Irene met while she was working at the North End Drivein, a popular place in Vernon at that time. They were married May 29, 1965 at St. James Church. They wanted to stay in beautiful Vernon so they decided to build their own home, which they have lived in for the past 44 years. Ron worked in the logging industry until he retired and Irene was a homemaker, making sure her children were well taken care of. They have raised three children: Rick, Steven and Tina; and were blessed with seven grandchildren. They are wished

The 60th anniversary of Lumby Days is this June. It’s been a few years since the Lumby Museum has had a float in the parade, but we are coming out of the shed once again, so keep your eyes peeled for it! Most folks can’t wait for the museum’s pie and ice cream. This should be fun, as the theme is “Movie Time!” nnn You don’t want to miss our Fifth Annual Royal Tea, July 5 at the community hall, with doors opening at 11:30 a.m. Our Royal High Tea kicks off at noon, with a beautiful luncheon fit for royalty. Folks have been asking me a whole bunch of
questions about why we do this and why I usually have a fascinator on my head — well, let me tell you. We started our Royal Tea wanting to treat our elder seniors like royalty, as they should be. This is a magical afternoon where we can bring our well-behaved little princesses and princes, dressed as such. And we do this with your spare change donated to our flower vase. So that means this gala is free, that’s right — no charge. We do, however, welcome any and all donations to our Lumby Food Bank. And even though this is a free event, please bring some cash as we host a silent auction with proceeds going to our Lumby Health Centre, as well as a cash-only fortune telling booth.

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is known for its rich heritage and architectural style. Lower Town is like a walk into medieval times.
Estonia’s gothic splendour
IRENE BUTLER Special To The Morning Star
ESTONIA - I suddenly feel my hand being clutched, and not by my husband Rick! I turn to see a knight in chain mail armour falling before me on bended knee – not for undying love, but for a photo op. We are in front of the Old Town Hall which has been on this spot since at least 1322, the present building dating back to 1404. Vana Toomas (Old Thomas), symbolizing Tallinn, appears as a weathervane atop the hall. Legend has it that as a peasant lad, Old Thomas won an archery contest reserved for nobility, and instead of being punished he was invited to become a guard. This is our first of many meanderings around medieval Lower Town’s Raekoja plats (Town Hall Square), at the city’s heart for eight centuries. The vibes of the Middle-Ages emanates from Gothic edifices, now turned into “tempt the tourist” shops, and restaurants with outside seating placed under great umbrellas. Young people in medieval dress wave menus to entice passers-by to partake of a morsel or sip a drink in their establishment. Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is said to be one of the oldest continually running pharmacies in Europe. By 1422, it belonged to its third owner. Old apothecary equipment sides the walls, but medieval remedies, such as crushed dried bee wings, have been replaced with current pharmacy offerings, like Aspirin. Olde Hansa is a shop stacked with goods that gained popularity centuries ago: goblets, tar soap, onion jam — and some odd shoes with curled-up toes. Salesclerk, Anna, is on hand to clarify a shoe was not just a shoe back then, but a show of wealth. “These are commoner shoes with hardly any curl. The rich wore shoes with curls almost reaching their knees, with metal rings for strings to attach the curl to their mid-calves. The king’s curl was tied to his waist — so you can see why he was carried.” Anna invites me and two other shop-

pers to partake in a snort of pepper schnapps, brewed in-house. Taking the traditional stance — baby finger at the bottom and thumb on the rim of the shot glass, other hand on the head (a sign of respect) and one leg crossed in front of the other at the knee — we toast in unison. Then…down the hatch. Very tasty. Another day we climb Toompea hill, known as Upper Old Town, to see how the wealthy once looked down their noses at the commoners. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral reigns; ordered by Tsar Alexander III and completed in 1900. The Toompea Castle, which for seven centuries served the nation’s foreign masters, today houses the parliament of Estonia. We move along to the formidable 15th
century stone bastion, Kiek in de Kök (Peep into the Kitchen). The curious name stems from soldiers joking about how from the top they could look down into the kitchens of the houses below. Inside, spiral stone stairs lead to many levels displaying torture devices and weaponry from the medieval ages right up to the Second World War. The nearby Bastion Tunnels are next. We don small blankets to wrap around our shoulders against the chill and follow Anilee, our guide, down uneven stone steps to tread through 300 metres (of the total 500 metres) that are currently staked out. Along our route we learn the various uses of these tunnels over the years. A small cell is where Catherine the Great had a 71-year-old monk imprisoned for speaking out against her. In this damp, cold, lonely place he lasted four years before his soul departed. During the Second World War, the tunnels became air raid shelters used by the Germans and later the Russians. A gas-masked manikin and old radio equipment sets the scene. After being abandoned for decades, during the 1980s, punkers moved in to party and hide from the militia. From 1991 to 2005, during the turmoil of Estonia’s newfound independence and skyrocketing unemployment, the tunnels became shelters for homeless people. Near the end of the tour we get a glimpse into a part of the tunnel that until recently was underwater for centuries. A ghostly aura wafts out on mildewed air from rough stone walls and stalactite ceiling. Out in the brilliant sunshine again, it’s time to purchase a bag of fresh roasted almonds which had been stirred in a vat with cinnamon and sugar. Tallinn’s gothic structures, along with the living history atmosphere of medieval costumes and customs displayed by shop/ restaurant staff, and the bustling lightheartedness of the town squares will forever linger on as a happy memory. Irene Butler is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

A major residential development in Lake Country has reached a milestone. Macdonald Development Corporation celebrated a VIP unveiling of the Bellamy Homes and Noba Vision showhomes at Lakestone Thursday. “We are thrilled for the unveiling of the first showhomes at Lakestone,” said Jason Koverchuk, director of sales and marketing. “The success of the Waterside neighbourhood signifies the momentum Lakestone has seen over the last 19 months and we are confident we will continue to see success.” The development is on the shores of Okanagan Lake and is located on Lakestone Drive, just off of Okanagan Centre Road West. The VIP ceremony included industry representatives and elected officials and staff from the District of Lake Country. The ceremony comes at a time when new home construction throughout the Okanagan remains strong.
“We are thrilled for the unveiling.”
— Koverchuk “Lakestone has consistently outpaced competitors in the area, and over the past three weeks, the development has experienced incredible success, signing seven contracts, and only 16 home sites remain in the premier Waterside neighbourhood,” said Koverchuk. Koverchuk says he’s pleased with the design of the residences and the level of construction demonstrated by the trades. “Noba Vision and Bellamy Homes paid special attention to the custom quality of each of the showhomes, following an appetite for fine finishes and spacious design from previous buyers at Lakestone,” he said. On Saturday, the general public was invited to the grand opening of the showhomes.
Shopping spree a hit Morning Star Staff
Lois McCabe was surprised when she found out she was the winner of downtown Vernon’s Shop Local Shopping Spree. Her name was the lucky one drawn from the full boxes of entries collected at 11 participating businesses to win a $1,000 shopping spree. The Vernon nurse had 30 minutes to spend her winnings in the stores of her choice during the May 23 Shop Local Day. McCabe had her route all planned out and headed off with friend Monica Brown and Downtown Vernon Association representative Hailey Rilkoff in tow as the official shopping spree timer. Her purchases included a silver ring, new watch, bedspread, a purse,
baking trays, cutting boards, cookie cutters, story books and a Saturday Globe & Mail. Some items are gifts for friends and family, with a few items for her patients. “I think I’ve been very good for the economy today,” joked McCabe as she wrapped up her whirlwind shopping spree with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. “I really appreciate the generosity from downtown Vernon.” McCabe said that planning her shopping spree was harder than she thought. With a tight timeline and a maximum limit of $200 per business, McCabe still ended her spree with seven minutes and 12 seconds remaining on the clock.

A major motion picture with North Okanagan roots is being praised as an economic driver. Over the past three weeks, outdoor ads promoting Tomorrowland were tagged with, “Proudly Filmed in Beautiful B.C.” messaging. The custom creative appears on map stands, bus signs and transit shelters in various locations across the Greater Vancouver area. “Tomorrowland captures the natural beauty of our province while bringing to life the work and imagination of B.C.’s creative industry,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA and parliamentary secretary, B.C. Jobs Plan. “We are thankful to Disney
“We are thankful to Disney for showcasing B.C.” — Greg Kyllo
for showcasing B.C. and our talented industry to the world. I look forward to seeing more and more of British Columbians’ work show up in the magic of Disney’s storytelling that resonates with so many kids, adults and families around the world.” Tomorrowland was shot in eight different B.C. cities, including Grindrod, Armstrong, Richmond, Surrey, Burnaby, Delta and Langley, with principal photography
kicking off in Vancouver in August 2013. The University of B.C., the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, Museum of Vancouver and the Vancouver Academy of Music are just a few of the landmarks that served as locations for the film. “Having studied film and television at UBC, I understand firsthand the passion and dedication it takes to be a part of this inspiring industry,” Naomi Yamamoto, minister of
state for tourism and small business. “Each one of the 1,800 workers who worked on this film deserves special recognition for the work they did to bring this film to life.” Quick Facts The filming of Tomorrowland supported more than 1,800 full-time jobs (FTE’s) and was responsible for $91.9 million in direct production expenditure in the province. Between August 2013 and January 2014, the production engaged more than 1,100 vendors in 67 communities across B.C. The production received about $21.8 million in support through provincial government tax incentives.

Armstrong honours Queen ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The City of Armstrong plans to be part of a Canadian-wide celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. The Monarchist League of Canada wrote council to inform them that “Buckingham Palace has calculated that on Sept. 9, the Queen’s reign will surpass that of Canada’s other great Mother of Confederation, Queen Victoria.” “On that date, our Monarch will have served us and the Commonwealth for the longest period in our modern history,” wrote Robert Finch, domin-
ion chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada. Finch has written to 3,500 mayors across Canada, including Chris Pieper of Armstrong, asking that municipal governments consider organizing a brief, heartfelt noonhour ceremony, preferably outdoors. “This is kind of cool,” said Pieper. “I think we need to figure out how we can do it.” Support for the ceremony was unanimous among council members. New gate for IPE The Interior Provincial Exhibition (IPE) has requested a
new exit/entrance off of Wood Avenue to the fairgrounds. The new gate is aimed at those with four legs. “The new access is specifically to accommodate the arrival and departure of animals during the IPE,” said Melinda Stickney, city administrator. Council unanimously supported the IPE’s request with conditions that include the access is to mainly accommodate the arrival and departure of animals; access is to remain locked when not used for that purpose and existing drainage infrastructure must not be compromised

Improved mental wellness, better access, increased collaboration, and building cultural competence are part of a new aboriginal health and wellness strategy approved by the Interior Health Authority. The document sets the path for the agency to work with First Nations and Métis partners on improving health outcomes for the about 50,000 aboriginal people living within the IHA region. “Everyone has unique health needs but, as this document points out, the needs of the aboriginal population within Interior Health are markedly different than the rest of our population,” said Erwin Malzer, IHA chairperson. “We have a responsibility to ensure equal access and appropriate health services.” For example, individuals of aboriginal ancestry have higher rates of mental illness than the general population (approximately 16 per cent compared to eight per cent) while they have lower rates of cardiovascular disease (approximately six per cent compared to 13 per cent). The document is now posted under aboriginal health at www.interiorhealth.ca.

Seaton Grade 10 student Kiera Ariano paints a bird on canvas for the Gateby Community Garden Project.
A colourful collaboration
Morning Star Staff
At W.L. Seaton secondary school, students in art teacher Simon Challen’s classes have been busy applying colourful paint to long rolls of canvas. Across town, at Day-Break Adult Day Centre, senior clients have also been busy with brushes, paints and canvas. It’s all part of the Gateby Community Garden project, where raised garden beds have been built to allow Gateby Care Centre residents and Day-Break clients the chance to get their hands into the soil. “There is lots under way here with the garden and we have been filling the boxes and planting them,” said Roberta Dunlop, recreation therapy worker at Gateby in downtown Vernon. “It’s all part of improving the quality of life for our residents and clients.” When Dunlop approached Seaton art teacher Simon Challen about getting his students involved by painting a dozen large format banners to
decorate the garden, he jumped at the chance. “It’s just a great way to be involved in the community,” he said. “A lot of what we do is very contained so this is a great way to reach out.” With rolls of canvas donated by Meridian Mapping Ltd. in Coldstream, students and seniors let their imaginations take over, painting large colourful flowers, birds and anything that will complement the garden area. “The banners should last for years and will provide a bright and beautiful backdrop in our garden,” said Dunlop. “This is such an amazing collaborative effort to get this garden going — it is very inspiring.” The Gateby Community Garden will celebrate its grand opening June 18 at 1:15 p.m. to thank community sponsors as well as garden volunteers and student artists. There will be music in the air and refreshments served, with a ribbon cutting to officially open the garden.

Bone broth helps nourish Waldorf School For The Morning Star
If you are a foodie following the latest trends, you will have been hearing about Bone Broth and Broth Bars. You might think it’s only available in New York or Vancouver, but you would be wrong. The very best organic, grass-fed bone broth is available right here in the North Okanagan. More than a year ago, Cedar Bridge School partnered with Vale Farms to cook up some amazing broths made with bones from 100 per cent grass-fed beef or pasture-raised chicken and turkey. These nourishing, healing broths have been used in traditional diets and are now making their way back into our modern diets as “medicine.” People who experience a serious breakdown in their intestinal functions are
Arya Church enjoys some bone broth in her sippy cup at lunchtime. finding these broths very healing. They are safe and beneficial even for small children. Making broth is theoretically not complicated, but it can be difficult to source out the right bones or have the time to boil them long enough to gain the
nutritional benefits. Vale Farms’ broth is made using the recommendations from the book Nourishing Broth by Sally Fallon Morell and Dr. Kaayla T. Danie, using a variety of meaty, marrow and shoulder bones, and shanks. Every package
photo submitted
contains some healthy fat, minerals and collagen. Those who drink it have noticed not only improvements in their digestion, but also in their skin, hair and energy levels. Broths are cooked between 24 and 48 hours, and frozen for
freshness. Each package can be diluted with water to taste (beef can be diluted to make a litre, poultry makes about ½ litre) and used in cooking or to drink on its own. Broth is available at the Vernon and Kelowna Farmers’ Markets from the Vale Farms Grassroots booth, directly from Vale Farms, Cedar Bridge School and the Lumby Monashee Co-op. For information about the broth or to place an order, visit www.valefarms.com or call Vale Farms 1-866567-2300 Proceeds from broth sales go to Cedar Bridge School (a Waldorf inspired farm school at Vale Farms). Cedar Bridge School is opening a preschool program in Vernon this September and offers preschool, kindergarten and Grades 1 to 6 at the farm location.
Gearing up for a smoke-free Father’s Day Trish hill
Special to The Morning Star
Luke and David (not their real names) are brothers who want to stop smoking for Father’s Day this year. Both have small children and their partners have been encouraging them to quit for some time. “I told my wife I’d stop smoking when my oldest was born, but that was three years ago and I’m no closer to it,” said David who works at a camp in Northern B.C. “When I’m at work the days are so long I just can’t seem to think about quitting.” He also finds it hard
that there are so many smokers among his co-workers in camp. “Everybody seems to smoke up there.” David’s observation isn’t surprising. In fact, smoking rates among construction workers (34 per cent) are more than double the provincial average of 16 per cent. Furthermore, this population tends to smoke more heavily so they may find quitting more difficult. David’s brother Luke is a carpenter and also works with several smokers. Despite this challenge, he is resolved to make a change this year as he wants to
model a smoke free lifestyle for his two sons. The brothers are counting on a bit of oldfashioned sibling rivalry to help them meet their goal. “We’ve got a little competition going,” said Luke. “June 1 is our quit date. On Father’s Day, June 21, we are having a big barbecue with our families. Hopefully we’re both still smokefree, but if one of us is smoking again, he has to buy the steaks!” Luckily there are some new supports for
men and fathers in B.C. who want to stop using tobacco. The QuitNow Men website http:// men.quitnow.ca/ and Dads in Gear http:// dadsingear.ok.ubc.ca/ are notable additions to the quit-smoking toolbox. Both projects were developed by UBC research teams and the B.C. Lung Association was also involved in creating QuitNow Men. The resources have a strong focus on men’s health. Videos, forums and stories from real men provide inspiration
while practical resources (like how to get free patches or gum) help with the fundamentals of quitting. Luke and David have some great reasons for saying good-bye to tobacco.

Dogs are f o r curious beings and some when encountering a drop-in. snake will stand and bark, while others will want
Rattlesnake awareness
to immediately sniff. That’s when a snake feels threatened and will strike. When hiking with your friend in rattlesnake areas, make sure they are on a leash. Stick to the trails not letting them sniff in rock crevices and other areas where snakes could be hiding. If your dog is bitten by a rattlesnake, swelling will be fast and considerable. Remove anything from your dog that is close to the bite and that may restrict the swelling, like a collar or bandana. Seek medical attention immediately. Keep the pet calm. If possible carry the pet. The more activity, the faster toxins can enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body. The best way to avoid snake bites all together is to give the snakes the right of way. Keep your dog by your side when hiking and carry a staff for announcing your path ahead of you. Rattlesnakes are sensitive to vibration and will get out of your way if you give them enough warning.

Boys sing Elvira among their hits in Vernon This year’s inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Oak Ridge Boys still mix a little gospel with their country Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
He sang backup for Elvis and his deep, resonant voice is one of the most recognizable basses in country music. Nashville-based singer Richard Sterban is probably best known as a member of the Oak Ridge Boys, who are about to bring their harmonies and hits when their Boys Night Out tour stops in Vernon June 7. “When you come to an Oak Ridge show you are going to hear a lot of our hits,” said Sterban, talking to The Morning Star before the Boys set out on tour. Some of those hits, recently recorded for a 40th anniversary album, include Elvira, Thank God for Kids, and Leaving Louisiana in the Daylight, as well as ones contained on the Boys’ 2014 album, Boys Night Out, Y’all Come Back Saloon and Bobbie Sue. “We have a gospel music background, so will add some gospel songs in the show and have also recorded some new songs. In general, the Oak Ridge Boys is a family show for grandma and grandpa to share with the younger set. When we walk on stage, we bring a lot of history with us.” Sterban isn’t kidding. The Oak Ridge Boys originally formed as a gospel quartet just four years after Mick Jagger was born in 1947, so you can say the Boys have beat out The Stones for one of the longest surviving bands still touring. Current members Sterban, Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen, and William Lee Golden (known for his long, snow white beard) have been together for just over four decades now, and show no signs of slowing down. “I think we’ve become the best of friends. It’s why we’re still together,” said Sterban.“We get along better now than when we were younger. We’re too old to let petty things both-

It’s a great friendship and there is great respect between the four of us. All of us bring different things to the table. We pull together and are a true team.” The Boys are not only celebrating their longevity in the music business, they have hit two major milestones recently. The first was when they became official members of the Grand Ole Opry two years ago. “We’ve been playing at the Opry for years, and now that we’re members, it feels like we are part of this big family. The Grand Ole Opry is country music. To be a part of that is a wonderful thing,” said Sterban. The other major milestone is the recent announcement the band is to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The announcement came at a press conference last month in Nashville, and the induction ceremony will take place in October. “It was kind of like the missing piece in our career,” said Sterban. “The fact that we know that we are going into the Country Hall of Fame is so meaningful for us. It’s a tremendous honour. It’s hard to figure out words on how special this is.”
The honour is a long deserved one. Sterban joined the group in 1972, when the Oak Ridge Boys were still singing strictly gospel music. Soon after, the group would release a string of hits shooting them to the top of the country charts. “We made a transition a few years after I joined in 1972. We had a country hit in 1977 with Y’all Come Back Saloon. That’s when we met Jim Halsey, our manager, who is still our manager today. He signed us to a record contact with ABC Records (later absorbed by MCA). Ron Chancey became our producer, recorded Ya’ll Come Back Saloon for us, and produced all our hits.” Born and raised in New Jersey, Sterban originally moved to Nashville to join J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, who sang backup for Elvis. Sterban reminisces about that time in his 2012 memoir, From Elvis to Elvira, My Life on Stage. “It was exciting singing with Elvis. I was basically singing backup in the dark, but I had aspirations,” he said. “One of the most important parts of my book is the major decision I made to leave Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll, and join the Oak Ridge Boys. I was a fan of
theirs and thought the group had a great deal of potential. Obviously the decision I made was a good one.” Arguably most famous for his “oom-pa-paoom-pa-pa-mau-mau” bass solo in the Oak Ridge Boys’ song Elvira, which won single of the year at the CMAs in 1981, Sterban says his voice changed to that deep register while he was in junior high school. “I was singing in a glee club as a tenor and from Grade 7 to 8, my voice made a drastic change. Over my eighth grade year, my choir teacher couldn’t believe the difference.” That voice still resonates, with the Oak Ridge Boys spending an average 150 days a year on the road. Sterban says the Boys manage their hectic schedule by living a healthy lifestyle. “The most important thing to keep in mind is to get enough rest. You can’t stay up all night. I sleep in when I can. Also I am careful on how much I talk before a performance. It’s difficult on the voice,” he said. Sterban and the Boys are spending a few nights out and as they return to Canada to perform their nine-day tour, which takes them from Winnipeg and Thunder Bay to Nanaimo. Vernon is their only other stop in B.C. “We’ve played in Canada many times over the years - from the east coast to west coast. They are so kind there and treat us wonderfully well and are respectful of what we do. They are good audiences,” said Sterban. The touring doesn’t stop as the Boys have a full schedule ahead. “We’re going to be doing quite a bit of touring this summer - fairs, and country festivals. Summer starts our busy season and then we end the year with our Christmas tour... We’re also known for our Christmas music.” The Boys will also be bringing their brand, new CD, Rock of Ages, with them on the road. “It’s a gospel album of old hymns that we grew up with as kids. Anyone who has gone to Sunday school will know these songs.” Opening for the Oak Ridge Boys in Vernon is five-time B.C. Country Music Association nominee Amanda Thate, who hails from Grand Forks. Tickets for the June 7 concert, which starts at 7:30 p.m., are available at the Ticket Seller. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at www. ticketseller.ca.
Counterpoint leader receives award for contributions to choral music Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Vernon has been singing her praises for years, and now Coreen Smith is being praised around the province for her contributions to the choral community. Smith has received the prestigious Herbert Kent award for choral teaching and excellence. The award recognizes long-term involvement in choirs and choral music and acknowledges faithfulness, commitment and responsibility as a choral musician. Smith was presented with the award by the B.C. Choral Federation at the end of the final concert of its Chorfest weekend, which Vernon
hosted May 15 to 17. “The recognition comes as a tribute to someone who has worked tirelessly in this community with youth and adults alike to bring choral music into so Coreen Smith many lives,” said Annie Powter, a member of the Chorfest committee. “Coreen, of course, was a major player in bringing Chorfest to Vernon as well.” A music specialist at BX
Elementary School as well as the founder and leader of Vernon’s Counterpoint Choir, Smith has been involved in choral music for 50 years as a choir member and soloist, and has been working with and training voices both in a solo and choral settings for the past 40 years. “I feel very humble to have been chosen for this award as I think of how many other people there are out there that are deserving of it,” she said. “I am very appreciative of the people that nominated me for this award and recognized what I do in promoting choral music for both the children and adults in our community.” Among her honours is help-
ing to develop the Children’s Chorfestivity Choir, composed of students in Grade 4 to 7 from eight Vernon schools, one Kelowna school, and one from Salmon Arm. Smith was among a group of dedicated teachers and directors who taught the Chorfestivity repertoire to their respective students during the fall of 2014 and winter of 2015, and 129 of those students performed at Chorfest in Vernon. “Coreen’s enthusiasm, leadership, and hard work inspired others to support her unique approach to showcasing young voices,” reads the program for Chorfest. “As music educators and choral directors we are always so busy
thinking ahead to the next concert, or ‘what we have yet to do’ that we don’t take the time to reflect on what ‘we have done,’” added Smith. “I have been fortunate to have worked with singers and choirs in the capacity as a private voice teacher, school music teacher, choir director, clinician, and festival adjudicator in Alberta, Saskatchewan and for the past 23 years here in Vernon.” Smith’s most recent milestone, five years ago, was receiving her master’s in music education with an emphasis in choral conducting. “Wow, how time flies when you are doing something you love and are passionate about,” she said.

Dystopian fiction
T
he dystopian story is tremendously popular in fiction and film. These tales are usually set in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by a merciless totalitarian regime. But the term dystopia encompasses far more. Actual historic events are sometimes the setting for some of the most intriguing dystopian stories ever written. The City of Thieves (2008) by David Benioff is a thrilling, comPeter Critchley ing-of-age tale set in the terrible siege of Leningrad in the Second World War, a siege that lasted nearly three years and killed more than a million people. Lev Beniov, a small, smart, insecure Jewish boy too young to serve in the army, spends his nights working as a volunteer firefighter with friends from his building. When a German paratrooper lands in his street, he is caught looting the body and hauled off to jail. He shares his cell with Kolya, a young charismatic army deserter.

an outrageous demand – find two dozen eggs for a powerful colonel to use in his daughter’s wedding cake. And in a starving city cut off from all supplies, the boys embark on an extraordinary hunt in the enemyoccupied countryside to find the impossible. Stormdancer: The Lotus War (2012) by Jay Kristoff is the first volume in a series, which introduces an unforgettable new heroine and a remarkably original dystopian steam-punk world with the flavour of feudal Japan. The Shima Imperium is a menacingly evil empire on the brink of environmental collapse. Blood lotus seeds produce the fuel that powers sky ships. But the plants’ roots render the soil barren and the fuel’s noxious fumes poison those too poor to afford breathing masks. The hunters of Shima’s imperial court are charged with an impossible request to capture a thunder tiger – a legendary creature, half-eagle, half tiger. Yukiko, the heroine, and her father are sent to the hinterlands to capture the mythical beast. But Yukiko is stranded in the country’s last wilderness with Buruu, a furious griffin maimed by Yukiko’s father, and the two band together to survive and ultimately face the might of the empire itself.

The General Store at O’Keefe Ranch is looking for STOREKEEPERS for the remainder of the school program in June. Volunteers should enjoy talking to children and need to be able to operate the cash register and quickly make change for eager candy-shoppers. The school program involves a short lesson about the artifacts in the General Store. Period costumes for the store volunteers are available at the ranch. The peak time for the school program is between 10 am and 1:30 pm, so volunteers should be prepared for a 4 hour shift. Volunteers are also needed throughout the summer, in the General Store and in other areas of the ranch. To volunteer, contact O’Keefe Ranch at 250-542-7868 or e-mail: manager@okeeferanch.ca

Live Well
Continued from A32 The Dead Lands (2015) by Benjamin Percy is a visionary thriller set in a postapocalyptic America that re-imagines the Lewis and Clark saga. A super flu and a nuclear fallout have turned the world we know into a husk. The few human survivors strive to carry on and live in outposts such as the Santuary, a shielded community in the remains of St. Louis that owes its survival to its militant defense and demagogue leaders. One day a rider appears from the wastelands beyond the walls of the community and reports on the outside world. West of the Cascades, rains falls, crops grow and civilization thrives. But dangers exists with the rising power of an army that pillages and enslaves any community they come across. Against the wishes of the Santuary, a small group of citizens, including museum curator Lewis Meriwether and city guard Mina Clark, break out and head up the Missouri river to find this land of Oregon. These three titles and many more are available at your Okanagan Regional Library, www.orl.bc.ca.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
MARCIA BELEY
In some European, Asian and Caribbean countries if you fell you need an antibiotic, you can just go into a pharmacy and ask for it ... no prescription required. The drug may not be the right one for that infection or it may be a viral infection which is unresponsive to antibiotics. This can cause overuse and contribute to antibiotic resistance. We mentioned in this column last year about a unique method of treating a potent bacterial infection caused by Clostridium difficile. This is an infectious diarrhea which can kill. The method is called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). It involves the introduction of donor stools into the rectum of the patient. It was successful in about 90% of cases. Sounds kind of “icky” but it’s effective. Protect your skin even if you are spending the day in the shade. Direct radiation from the sun is the most powerful but you can receive UV radiation from reflected rays from surfaces like sand, water, concrete or even grass. So use your sunscreen on a sunny day even if you are spending it in the shade. Stress is all around us and we can choose how we react to it. If someone cuts us off in traffic, we can choose to smile tolerantly and let it go or get into a rage. Tolerance is a virtue. The opposite can be very damaging. We will do our best to not cause stress in our pharmacy. Try our brand of pharmacy service soon. If you are already a customer, we thank you.

phone dies. Hoping to impress the locals and perhaps find employment, Eric and Amy leave the kids alone to attend a dinner party. While away, each of the children is physically attacked in the home by supernatural forces. Madison is abducted and vanishes into a portal that remains open in her closet. The Bowen family calls in famous ghost hunter Carrigan Burke (Jared Harris) to bring Madison back and shut the portal, but in order to do that, many mischievous spirits may need to be appeased. We say, “The new Poltergeist is a fine film, but we’ve already seen it.” TAYLOR: This film is very much like the original Poltergeist. So much so that it feels like that it even pays homage to the style of the origi-

We don’t need to see the same movie, again. It feels like the filmmakers go through the motions and the audience must as well. There’s no point. HOWE: It’s exactly the same as the original. Normally when they make a remake there is nearly always something added that was missed in the original, mostly due to some special effects that couldn’t be done at the time. I’m surprised that they didn’t use the same script while they were at it. The 80s version is a classic, and included things that we hadn’t then seen before in a movie. This new copy is just that, a cheap knockoff that isn’t that scary
or entertaining. I’m surprised they haven’t thought about remaking Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws or Alien. I’ve seen better and scarier on the R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps kids’ TV program. TAYLOR: Well, to be fair, I think Sam Rockwell is a better actor than Craig T. Nelson (the dad in the original). Furthermore, this new Poltergeist isn’t a bad film. It’s probably just as good as the first, which in 1982 was a special effects bonanza. Today we take the ability to do such things in film for granted. Thus, this new version seems a bit under-whelming despite being a perfectly fine film. I think you might have hit the nail on the head by comparing it to Goosebumps because
the film did really seem to be for kids. It’s about kids, features kids, (the kids do the bulk of the dealing with the spirits) and only kids would find it scary. So, if for some reason your 10-year-old wants a good scare, take him or her to Poltergeist It’s tidy, there’s no sex, nudity, drugs, there’s no confusing plot, adult situations or even real violence. There’s not a drop of blood. It’s a safe, quick romp through a haunted house that nobody is going to care about next week. HOWE: I guess that’s true. If I were 10 or 12 I would find this scary, but no scarier than any of the million ghost shows on TV. – Taylor gives Poltergeist 2.5 creepy clowns out of 5. – Howe gives it 2 creepy trees out of 5.

It captures life from a different perspective, offering mystery in such images as paths, doorways and landscapes. “I selected the name Pozitives for this new show, in hopes that
my art and photography will send a positive message or create a positive feel,” said Poz, whose work has been shown throughout B.C. “My first art show was at a place called Angels in Vernon in 1991. Since then I have done Art in the Park in Kelowna for many years, and have displayed my art in shops in Victoria, Salmon Arm, Kelowna and Kamloops. “It will be great to display my art at Bean To Cup in my hometown of Vernon.” Bean to Cup hosts the new art show in its Downstairs Gallery. Opening night reception is Wednesday from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and a portion of all food and drinks sold will go to the Kindale Developmental Association. The work will be on display for the summer months.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WHICH IS BETTER: ONE OR TWO? Robert Half, who founded the company of the same name that is the world’s first and largest accounting and finance staffing firm, said, “When one teaches, two learn.” I never thought about that, but it can be so true. When declaring in a contract at the bridge table, it is usually better to have two chances to make your contract than only one. But, strangely, sometimes two can be worse than one. In this deal, for example, how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads his fourthhighest heart? In the auction, North’s three-heart cue-bid asked South to bid three no-trump
with a heart stopper. (If North had a stopper, he would have bid no-trump himself.) South starts with eight top tricks: one heart (given the lead), one diamond and six clubs. Should he turn to spades or diamonds for the extra winner? Before we get that far, though, declarer must put up dummy’s heart queen, the honour from the shorter side first. Here, the queen wins. So South knows that if East gains the lead, he will play a heart through the king, and West will cash four tricks. That might prompt declarer to take two diamond finesses, since each one is into the safe West hand. However, there
is a much more important point for declarer to realize. If East has the spade ace, the contract can always be defeated. So, South should just lead the spade king from the dummy (or cross to his hand with a club and play his spade toward the dummy). Here, he cannot be defeated.

Travis Samuel Jacobs
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Travis Samuel Jacobs on May 25th, 2015 at the age of 38 years in Vernon, BC. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend Melissa Jacobs (neĂŠ Dyck) of 14 years of Coldstream, BC; his children that he loved with every inch of his body and soul, Ava (8 years old) and Kai (6 years old); parents, Trish and Alvan Jacobs of Vernon, BC; sister Tanya (Trevor) and children Emma, Olivia, and Austin of Coldstream, BC; brother Todd (Jenna) and children Kylie, Kaitlyn, Wyatt, Kate, and Ty of Winnipeg, MB; mother and father-in-law Phyllis and Terry Dyck of Vernon, BC; sister and brother-in-law Holly (Melvin) and Clara of Lake Country, BC; sister and brother-in-law Kama (Trevor) and Kobe of Edmonton, AB. He also left behind a large and close extended family who Travis loved dearly and so many friends who loved his spirit and his laughter.
Travis was born on November 22nd, 1976 in Surrey, BC. His early years were spent running around with the neighbourhood kids, playing in the big dirt pile, and visiting with his large family at Grannie’s house. In 1983 Travis’ family moved to Vernon, BC. It was in Vernon that he met some of his closest friends who he loved. Some of his favourite memories were the times he spent with the Galbraith family on the lake. Travis loved the water and mountains. He was an adventurer and an athlete. He loved to swim, kayak, canoe, boat, surf, snowboard, ski, snowshoe, skate, hike, rock climb, dirt bike with his dad, play in the backyard with his kids, fish, and hunt and camp with his buddies. He loved sitting by the camp fire and reminiscing about good times. Travis was faithful and devoted to God his entire life. He often spoke of verses from the bible and would pray to God for love and support. Travis enjoyed meeting so many like-minded friends during his two years at Western Christian College in Dauphin, Manitoba. He was glad that Melissa, Ava, and Kai went to the Jacobs’ family church in Vernon, BC. Travis was a family guy and he would have done anything for his brother, sister, their kids, his parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. He always had a smile on his face after spending time with his family. He was cool Uncle Travis as he would take his nieces and nephews boating, hiking, and down rides over and over again at Disneyland. His siblings Todd and Tanya were always on Travis’ mind and he adored them so
much and loved them unconditionally. Travis loved his parents with all of his heart and you couldn’t ask for a better son. When his father got cancer, Travis took over the family business without even a hesitation. He said, “I want to take care of them the way they have always taken care of me.� Travis can rest knowing that he did that for his parents, even at such a young age.
He worked for Office Doc for 19 years, only taking some time off to complete his Bachelor of Business Degree through Okanagan University College in Kelowna. Travis enjoyed his time participating and meeting people in the Vernon Masters Swim Club and Vernon Search and Rescue. He love taking part in the SAR training sessions and felt satisfaction whenever he helped out. In 1998 Travis fell in love with his best friend and soul mate, Melissa. They did everything together and shared an adventurous spirit. They played together and travelled the world together. Mel and Travis were the definition of true love as it was so strong and unconditional. They had been married for 14 years on May 20th. In 2007 Travis and Mel welcomed a baby girl, Ava and in 2009 they had a baby boy, Kai. The kids were everything to Travis. He truly was the best dad in the world. Mel and Travis raised their kids exactly as they started off their life and their marriage; going on adventures in the great outdoors and travelling the world. Before Travis died, he had taught his young children to ski, skate, kayak, rock climb, swim, play soccer, knee board, to drive a boat, and so much more. Mel and the kids loved travelling with Travis. Ava, Kai, Travis, and Mel would get in to their car and just drive‌for a month or more. They would wake up the next day and say, what state or province are we going to next and that is the direction they would drive. Travis’ smile and sense of humour will be missed by everyone. You truly were one of a kind Travis and this world is a better place because of you! We know you are up in heaven boating again with Kieran and having a cup of tea with Grannie. You can tell us about it when we see you again! Cremation preceded a Celebration of Travis’ Life which will be held at the Vernon Alliance Church (2601 43rd Avenue) on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015 at 4:00 P.M. with Minister Murray Ververda officiating. A Reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall of the Alliance Church. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Travis to Team Kidston’s Ride Don’t Hide team (www.ridedonthide. com/bc/ride/Vernon) or to the Canadian Mental Health Association 3100 28th Avenue, Vernon, B.C.

Steven Eugene Wilson 1950 - 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Steven on May 27, 2015 in Vernon, BC, born May 16, 1950 in Kentucky, USA. After being discharged from the army in 1972, Steven came to Canada, settling in Surrey, BC. It was there he married the love of his life, Jean, on January 28, 1972. They moved to Arizona in 1983 and eventually made their way to Armstrong in 1989. He worked as a truck driver and loved his wife and family. He enjoyed building fences and was passionate about horses and fixing old cars. He is lovingly remembered by his wife Jean; daughters: Dawn Johnson of West Branch, Iowa, Tanya Wilson of Red Deer, AB, Kristy Quayle (Michael) of Red Deer, AB, Adriana Wilson of Armstrong, BC; and grandsons: Michael Johnson, Benjamin Quayle, Brandon Quayle; 5 sisters; and many extended family and friends.

Jacqueline Letitia Heal (Wilson) passed away in Armstrong BC on May 22, 2015 at the age of 92.
Sonja (Sam) Pearson nee Johnson
She was born on April 17, 1923 in Vancouver. In 1945, she married Jack Heal. In 1947 the couple moved to Armstrong for one year, then relocated to Portage la Prairie, Manitoba and returned to Armstrong in 1965.
Celebration of Life will be held June 6 from 2 to 4 at the W.I. Hall on Kal Lake Road in Coldstream.
Many years after her husbands death, she moved to Gibsons BC and married Laird Wilson. She spent the last few years with her family in Armstrong.
Please take a moment to jot down a favourite memory and bring it along with you.
During her life, Jacquie volunteered at the Allied Officer Club, took many art classes, worked as a librarian in Enderby and became a marriage commissioner in the Okanagan. Jacqueline always lived a life of adventure. In 1961 she earned her pilots license, which went well with her lifeguarding, synchronized swimming and art achievements. She was a prominent outdoors woman. On her 80th birthday, her and her grandchildren hiked Quilikwa Mountain. Jacquie is predeceased by her husbands Jack Heal and Laird Wilson, her sister Joan Warn and grandson Greg. She is survived by Barry (Trudi), David (Audrey), Katherine, KC (Vicki), 9 grandchildren and 9 great grand children. Sending my love: A special thank you to the staff at Pleasant Valley Manor.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Isabelle Bodnisky It is with sadness but deep relief that we share the news of Isabelle’s passing after a 22 year battle with cancer. The last few months were tortuous and debilitating for her as she tried in vain to cope with the realization that the ‘monster’ was going to win. And win, it did. In the early evening of May 22nd, 2015 she escaped into a final, peaceful sleep. She wanted to die in Hospice House, and she did. Isabelle was born on September 21st, 1931 in Hairy Hill, Alberta. (Yes, there was a hill but it wasn’t hairy.) She was born with asthma and learned to breathe with the help of the country Doctor (who made house calls with horse and buggy) and by the time she was 1931 – 2015 16, he strongly advised the move to a drier climate where she could breathe easier. So, in 1948, the family moved to Vernon. Life was somewhat more bearable here but she found school hard to manage because of the affliction. She attended McEwen-Wilke Secretarial College and became Miss Secretary Extrordinaire. Many parents and children will remember Isabelle as School Secretary at West Vernon and Okanagan Landing Elementary Schools. The students will probably remember her awesome sneezes and raucous laughter reverberating through the halls into the classrooms. She always loved hearing the “Bless You’s’ from the nearby kindergarten room after one of her sneezes. She was especially proud of those students who pronounced her last name correctly. Isabelle was preceded in death by her father, Mike, in 1999 and her mother, Jean, in 2007. She leaves her sister, Lorraine (Steve) Uzick; niece, Lisa Dalling; nephews, Jim and Mike Uzick; grand-nephew, Justin Dalling and grand-niece, Haylee Dalling, all of Vernon, B.C. Isabelle had angels in her life this past while. Lorna, Claire and Stella, just to mention a few. There were more of you, I know, both at the Arlington and Schubert Centre. God bless you all for caring about her. She especially loved the Schubert men who gave hugs she so badly needed. Again, a special God Bless to you, Lorna. And her angels at Hospice. They tend to their flock with such love and compassion. They offer support and hugs to the family in times of grief and duress. They are all Heaven-sent. And the volunteers as well – we thank you all. There will be no service for Isabelle. She didn’t want one. A Celebration of Life may be held at a later date. Anyone wishing to remember Isabelle through a donation may do so by sending it to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4 or to the Salvation Army House of Hope, 3303-32nd Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 2M7.

Joseph (Joe) Lesowski November 27, 1921 - May 12, 2015
Uncle Joe was a longtime resident and rancher of Cherryville, BC. He will be forever remembered and missed by his brother William Miller ( Myrtle) of Vernon, B.C., many nieces and nephews, and their families. Uncle Joe was predeceased by his brothers Victor, John, and Albert. Always happy and good natured, Joe will be remembered for his wit, kind manner, and gentle demeanour. The family would like to extend its thanks to the nursing staff on 2W at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for their unparalleled care of Uncle Joe. A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.

Winnifred Margaret Amos nee Cooper 1920 - 2015 Our precious Mother passed into the Presence of Jesus, at sunset, May 25, 2015 with Norma Jean at her side. She had just enjoyed her 95th birthday celebration with her daughters and all her granddaughters present. Winnie was born in a mid-wife’s home in LaVerna, Saskatchewan on May 13, 1920. She taught school for nearly nine years. She married Morris Amos on July 30, 1947 and to this union were born three daughters: Verna Mae Dobson (Glenn), Norma Jean Lupul (Rod) and Ruth Thiessen (Garry). Winnie lived in the Madison, Saskatchewan district until Morris’ death in 1996. She moved to Kindersley - then later to Watrous to be close to her daughter Ruth. In 2008 she moved to Coldstream Meadows and finally in 2013 to Creekside Landing to live nearby Norma Jean. In spite of her physical limitations and the loss of her vision, she maintained a sweet and gentle spirit. She was so grateful for Dr. Schuch and the wonderful care aids and staff at Coldstream Meadows and Creekside Landing. She also appreciated the new and many friends whom she acquired here in Vernon. Her Celebration of Life and burial will take place in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, June 4, 2015. We feel incredibly blessed to have had Mom’s godly example and influence. We hear story after story of lives she has touched in her quiet and loving way. Our hearts ache for our loss but rejoice for her gain! Her memory will live on in the lives of her children and grandchildren forever.
