NHLPA celebrates with communities ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
National Hockey League players past and present are giving back to the community and raising funds for a local organization. The City of Vernon has teamed up with the National Hockey League Players’ Association and Predator Ridge Resort in support of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. It was announced on the Kal Beach pier Friday that NHLPA members will be participating in the NHLPA Community Celebration, a community event and VJHF fundraiser at Kalamalka Beach on Friday, July 10 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. “The family-friendly NHLPA Community Celebration will feature a significant donation of hockey equipment made by the players’ NHLPA Goals & Dreams fund to local grassroots hockey programs, as well as live music, activities and an opportunity to meet current and past NHL players,” said Kevin Poole with the City of Vernon. Many NHL players are scheduled to appear at the celebration,

which will feature, among other things, a standup paddling game of polo. Vernon’s Curtis Lazar of the Ottawa Senators is among the current NHL players committed to the event. “I’ve been in the water before, but never been on a standup paddleboard,” smiled Lazar, who will be joined at the event by other stars such as David Booth of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Andrew Ference of the Edmonton Oilers, Josh Gorges of the Buffalo Sabres, Scott Hartnell and Ryan Johansen of the Columbus Blue Jackets, brothers Brayden and Luke Schenn of the Philadelphia Flyers and more players to be announced at a later date. Former NHL players confirmed include Vernon’s Brent Gilchrist and Dean McAmmond, Cory Cross, Fernando Pisani, Joe Reekie, Mathieu Schneider, Steve Webb and Rob Zamuner. “NHLPA Goals & Dreams has helped tens of thousands of children around the world get a chance to play hockey, and will give back to more hockey fans right

of fellow players at the NHLPA Community Celebration this July for what is sure to be a fun day celebrating our great game.” Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund said the partnership between the city, NHLPA, Predator Ridge and VJHF will provide tangible benefits to the community in the support it gives to the foundation, and in showcasing the world-class Predator Ridge resort. “Vernon has produced a number of outstanding athletes and has a rich hockey culture, so I encourage the community to come out to support VJHF and meet their NHL heroes on July 10,” said Mund. The event is free to the public but donations to the foundation will be encouraged and rewarded with meals and refreshments, as well as the opportunity to win a signed jersey. There will also be several autographed jerseys auctioned off at the celebration. Free parking will be available at Okanagan College, and shuttle service to and from Kalamalka Beach will be available.

Brad Pelletier of Predator Ridge said talks with the NHLPA to host some kind of community event in the North Okanagan began last year. “Predator Ridge is thrilled to be hosting the NHLPA Golf Classic and to be a major part of this civic celebration in a city so deeply rooted in hockey tradition,” said Pelletier.“We are grateful to the city and the NHLPA for their wonderful support and for rewarding the citizens of Vernon.”

Rain dampens field rules RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Rain forced athletes off sports fields last week and that scene may become more common. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is considering tighter policies about closing sports fields during heavy rainfall. “We are looking at a harder stance on protecting the surface,” said Keith Pinkoski, parks manager. “There’s a lot of capital we are investing in and we want to protect that capital.” GVAC is responsible for Marshall Field and Creekside Park and those fields were closed regularly last week. “All it takes is one game and the field is toast with the sliding and tackling. They are playing on muck,” said Pinkoski.
Sunday, June 7, 2015 - The Morning Star A3
The wet turf can be ripped apart, which can lead to injuries. “We want to provide safe conditions for players,” said Pinkoski. About $25,000 is being spent this year to improve the fields at Marshall Field. Previously, authorities were fairly flexible to teams being on fields during the rain, but Pinkoski insists that attitude must change. “We seem to have heavier weather events and we’re responding differently than in the past,” he said. GVAC is also investigating ways to increase maintenance reporting with the contractor, which is the City of Vernon. A review of early season irrigation for Marshall Field will also be considered as treated waste water is not always available when the fields open in March and April.
Boaters could be left high and dry on parts of the Shuswap River and that is generating debate. The Regional District of North Okanagan is currently seeking feedback on proposed regulations for the river, including no motorized vessels from south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuck Rapids Park. “The entire process has been biased,” said Mike Steiner, who owns 1,500 feet of riverfront in Mara. “RDNO has neglected its responsibilities to users and stakeholders.” In 2010, the regional district initiated a process to develop a Shuswap River Watershed Sustainability Plan, and Steiner says key stakeholders were absent. “It specifically excluded advocates from the boating community, sport fishermen and certain businesses who rely on motorized use of the river and riverfront landowners who boat,” he said. However, the process is being defended by the Lower Shuswap Stewardship Society. “The plan was a lengthy process with lots of consultation and once concerns were identified, three working groups were formed (to develop possible strategies),” said Jean Clark, with LSSS. “In public meetings, there were hundreds of concerns about boats. It became one of the big issues on the river.” In terms of specific rules about restricting motorized boats, Clark insists now is the time for consultation. “Some think it’s a done deal, but it’s not.” An open house will be held at the Enderby Drill Hall, Wednesday from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and there will be one at the Mabel Lake Community Hall (Lumby end), Thursday from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Surveys can also be completed online at www.rdno.ca/boating and they will be mailed to property owners adjoining the river in the affected areas. “Once we get the feedback and look at the level of support and concerns, then
there will be a decision made on whether we continue pursuing regulations or if we drop the matter,” said Anna Page, RDNO sustainability co-ordinator. The ultimate decision on restrictions is made by Transport Canada. Page says the goal of the proposed rules is to improve recreational safety, reduce bank erosion, reduce disturbance to salmon spawning grounds and minimize conflicts between river users. Halvorson “Community groups and businesses have raised concerns about boats.” While some sections of the river could see motorized boats banned, it’s proposed that there be a vessel engine size limit of 10 horsepower from Mara Lake upstream to Trinity Valley Road. Herman Halvorson, RDNO’s rural Enderby director, says he is being lobbied by those who want motorized boats on the river and those who don’t. “I’m completely open to the process and we will deal with it in a proper fashion. I am neutral,” he said. A similar response is also coming from Greg McCune, Enderby director. “We’re encouraging people not to jump to conclusions but to fill out the survey,” he said. The Township of Spallumcheen has added the link to the proposed regulations to its website.

Chiefs seek justice for kids Morning Star Staff
Secwepemc chiefs insist there must be reconciliation and justice for families impacted by the child welfare system and Indian residential schools. Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief and Shuswap Nation Tribal Council chief, says the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission aren’t surprising. “Our people live with the realities and ramifications resultant from the residential school cultural genocidal regime every day,” he said. “The prevailing effects of Wayne Christian this horrendous stain in our history can be most clearly seen in the current child welfare system and its overrepresentation of aboriginal children and families.” The TRC recommends 94 actions related to the residential school experience. “Respect and dignity is what our children in care need and deserve,” said Christian. “After generations of our children being abducted
from their homes and families and being stripped of their culture, the status quo of child welfare cannot continue. Social circumstances must change and leadership must be front and center taking the actions required that will shape future generations.” Christian says the tribal council awaits a Human Rights Tribunal ruling about the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society’s challenge of federal funding for aboriginal children. The tribal council is also focused on those who went through residential schools. “It is important that we recognize all of the day scholars (students) who were exposed to the traumas of attending residential schools but have yet to find their justice or peace of mind,” said Christian. Two B.C. First Nations have launched a class action suit and are seeking to represent all aboriginal people who attended residential schools for compensation for their losses of language and culture. “For justice to be found from the residential school era, day scholars require the opportunity for the rule of law be applied and for their experiences to be entered into the record,” said Christian.

Concerns aired over particulates RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A political debate is expected over the air we breathe. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has decided to hold a special meeting to determine if the long-defunct air quality committee should be resurrected. “The background level of particulate matter is right at the maximum,” said director Doug Dirk. The previous RDNO air quality function was disbanded in 2010 largely for finanDoug Dirk cial reasons, but Dirk insists the issue should be revisited because of concerns about a pellet plant under construction in Lavington. “There needs to be more discussion,” he said. However, not everyone at the board table is ready to embrace an air quality service. “We’ve accomplished a lot like anti-idling so I’m curious about what further mitigation would come out of this?” said director Mike Macnabb. It was also suggested that Coldstream could go it alone with its own function but Dirk says that’s
unrealistic given air currents. “It has to be a regional initiative. The air is moving all of the time,” he said.

Lumby has overcome another major hurdle. Sound levels were recently tested at a property on the five-kilometre mark of the Burnyeat Forest Service Road in Trinity Valley. “We will now proceed with a public hearing,” said Rick Fairbairn, Regional District of North Okanagan chairperson. The RDNO board previously had given two readings to rezoning and official community plan bylaws to allow for the gun range. But a public hearing couldn’t occur until sound levels were tested. “The sound measurements taken May 18 confirm that the sound levels emitted by firearms used at the proposed shooting range are below the permitted sound levels,” said John Friesen, bylaw enforcement officer, in a report. The concept for the facility, which would be on 1.48 hectares of a 129-hectare site, first arose in 2013. No date for the public hearing has been established.

An early start to the season is keeping local firefighters busy, but not with the usual suspects. A couple of different car fires were tackled this week, one in Lumby and one in Vernon, as well as a couple of rescue calls and a recycling bin fire. “It’s a real indication as to the training our guys have to have,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon Fire Rescue deputy fire chief. “They go to all kinds of things.” A motorhome caught fire on its way to Cherryville Days Friday mid-morning. “A passerby stopped and managed to give him a fire extinguisher which kept it at bay until we got there,” said Lumby fire chief Tony Clayton. Vernon firefighters were also called out to a vehicle fire as the result of an accident at 32nd Street and 42nd Avenue Thursday around 11 a.m. A fuel spill at Kal Tire also caused a small fire Thursday, which was extinguished by staff.

“Extremely Helpful”
Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star
An RCMP officer looks over a vehicle after it was involved in a crash with an SUV just before noon Thursday on 32nd Street. Firefighters were also called off a water rescue on 25th Avenue after someone fell in the creek but managed to get out. And firefighters were called to the rescue of an elevator entrapment in a business on 32nd Street. “That’s actually common,
some of the elevators get stuck,” said Skolrood. Vernon Fire Rescue was then called out to extinguish some flaming blue household recycling bins shortly before 1 a.m. Friday on Okanagan Landing Road. Skolrood suspects this was an act of vandalism.
“They don’t self-combust.” Despite a busy start to the season for firefighters, suspicions are that any of the arsontype fires aren’t connected to last year’s string of arsons. “We’ve had a lot of arson early spring this year,” said Skolrood. “It’s nothing connected to the arsons last year.”
Deb was extremely helpful in our house purchase. We moved here from the UK and were totally unfamiliar with the mortgage and house buying process in Canada.

I
Dear sir or madam
just spent two hours writing a letter on my computer that would have taken me a minute and a half on a typewriter. It took another hour to print the envelope. If I was printing a thousand copies of the letter, and a thousand envelopes, that might have made sense. That’s something computers do very well. But to write one unique letter to one person, it was a supreme waste of time -- time I could have wasted surfing the Internet. But nooooooo, I was stuck learning how to turn off the default paragraph spacing that was causing odd little breaks all over the place. I’ve seen scam letters from Nigeria that had better formatting than I was getting. No, I don’t need Jim Mullen bullets, justification, kerning and a thousand other formatting tools, I just want to make lines that do this instead of lines that do this. Nothing would work. Clearing formatting didn’t work. Highlighting the words and telling them to single space didn’t work. The program never did this before, so why is it doing it now? About an hour into the process, I began to long for my old 20-pound IBM Selectric. It would have been so much faster. Here’s how you address a letter with a computer: First, select an envelope template. Not easy. There are hundreds of them. One of them has pictures of cows on it. Another looks like you are sending the letter from the future. Another one uses so much colored ink it will use up two $15 cartridges before it finishes printing the return address. Finally, you find one that doesn’t look over-
VILLAGE IDIOT
designed and you type in the information. Then all you have to do is take all the paper out of your printer, adjust the sliding guides to fit your envelope and insert an envelope. Now does the envelope go in right-side-up or upside-down? Who cares; just put in two different envelopes two different ways. Then you go back to your computer and click “print.” I haven’t used the printer in a few days, so it decides to do a self-test, which takes a few minutes. Finally it prints one envelope, because I have forgotten to tell it to print two. The envelope has the address and the return address printed perfectly -- on the wrong side. Print another one. This one has the address and the return address printed perfectly -- but upside-down. I’ll spare you the rest. Here’s how you do it on a typewriter: Insert an envelope. Type the address. My goal is not a paper-free office; it is a stressfree, hassle-free life. Sometimes computers are good for that. Sometime they are not. I would love to never have to waste that much time again, so I went on eBay to see if it was still possible to find an old IBM Selectric and some extra ribbons. Possible? It turns out that there are plenty of them out there, and they still work. Lots of them look almost unused after 50-odd years. Many of them were selling in the $250 range. In the 1960s, brand-new, they sold for around $450, or roughly $3,000 in today’s dollars. It wasn’t something most people could afford to have in the house. But today was the first time I’ve had to write a formal letter on real stationery in years. For all I know, it may have been my last. An email or a handwritten note is usually enough. If I get an old typewriter, will I ever use it? And when it frustrates me, what will I want next? A fountain pen? Carbon paper? Mimeographs? In the time I wasted looking up typewriters on eBay, I could have learned how to use my word processing program correctly. I’ll bet there’s an app for that.

Not surprisingly, a proposal to ban motorized boats from portions of the Shuswap River has generated considerable discussion. After all, exploring the river is a tradition for tourists and many residents specifically invested in property along the river so they can pursue recreational activities. So any suggestion that motorized boats will be restricted between south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuk Rapid Park was expected to draw opposition. However, there are others in the community who are adamant that boats should be gone because of possible bank erosion, impact to salmon spawning grounds and safety issues between motorized boats and other recreational users. With such diverse opinions prevalent, the Regional District of North Okanagan is looking for feedback. An open house will be held at the Enderby Drill Hall Wednesday from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and there will be one at the Mabel Lake Community Hall (Lumby end) Thursday from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Surveys can also be completed online at www.rdno.ca/ boating and they will be mailed to property owners adjoining the river in the affected areas. Only by hearing from both sides can RDNO officials decide whether the proposal should be forwarded as is to Transport Canada, amended or scrapped altogether. Yes there may be some questions about the process that led to proposing that motorized boats be banned in some areas, but now is the time for public engagement. We would encourage all residents and users of the Shuswap River to become actively involved and have their say.

Pickleball facilities needed
ernon has an opportunity to capitalize on the fastest growing sport in North America. If you haven’t already heard of pickleball, you certainly will in the near future. Speaking from personal experience, our plus55 community south of Phoenix Arizona had four tennis courts and 40-plus tennis members three years ago. At that time, a few people started playing pickleball on the tennis courts on off hours and last year, nine dedicated courts were constructed strictly for pickleball. Today, there are more than 200 members of our pickleball club, and we still have only 40-plus tennis members. Pickleball competitions and tournaments are ongoing and attract plenty of visitors from other communities. A pickleball court is less than one-third the size of a tennis court so a footprint equal to the four tennis courts at Marshall Field could, for example, easily accommodate a dozen courts. Marshall Field, as the site, would also provide the added advantage of making better use of the existing parking and washroom facilities for the tennis and soccer already being played there. The two existing Vernon Pickleball clubs (currently using various tennis courts around the city but having to put out portable nets each time they do) could act as a resource to help organize competitions and open tournaments that would certainly enhance Vernon as a destination city. Think of the annual slo-pitch tournament Vernon holds but imagine it happening several times each summer. It would also provide some flexibility to reduce or eliminate the amount of play at controversial SECOND OPINION Dr. April Sanders’ article, Women inspire with their strength, was a delight to read but I must disagree, Dr. Sanders, when you say, “it is a ridiculous undertaking for someone in their 63rd year”. I started CrossFit a year ago when I was shocked to suddenly realize how my strength and endurance were simply fading away as a result of the body’s normal process called sarcopenia. I enjoy skiing, both downhill and cross-country, skating, hiking and biking but realized that at the rate at which I was deteriorating, these activities would soon be impossible. Well, there’s good news. I’m on

sites such as Middleton Mountain. I don’t yet play much pickleball myself but many of my friends down south end up playing pickleball as their mobility and ability to play tennis decreases. Another group getting involved is golfers as they find the cost to golf continues to skyrocket and the advantage of being able to play a game in about 15 minutes provides attractive

practical advantages. As I drive by the new running track near the college and wonder how much ongoing use it will end up having, I have no such doubts regarding the level of use and the cost benefit to Vernon and its citizens by investing for the future in some dedicated pickleball courts at Marshall Field.

Drug Mart and noticed the huge volume water running in that creek, one has to ask, is the problem because we are not storing enough water after a winter of high snowfall or was the overall snowfall much lower than usual this winter? Having moved from Penticton two years ago where our water bill was much lower, I am still trying to figure out why our water bill is so high in Vernon. Although I notice that, similar to Penticton, instead of addressing the problem of storing enough water so that everyone can grow their own food fruit and vegetables if they wish or plant whatever they wish to grow in their gardens, we are being urged
to adopt WaterWise habits. This has to be a hard sell when you drive a little ways out of town to see huge quantities of water being continually sprayed on corn fields, which I am told is then used to feed cattle. I am also told that these commercial users are paying a fraction of what residential users are paying notwithstanding they are in a for profit business. Why should residential users be subsidizing commercial users of water? After all, farmers are in business to make a profit the same as any other business and should be paying the same rate for water as everyone else does. Brian Sutch

Lumby Days is all glammed up and ready to shine for its diamond anniversary. The village tradition marks its 60th anniversary this year, putting a spotlight on all the star-studded action in Lumby over the past year. “It’s Movie Time, that’s our theme,” said Merna Alexander, Lumby Days chairperson. “They had films this year and Anthony Hopkins was out here.” While it may not make the big screen, Lumby Days is full of all sorts of acts both on and off the stage throughout the weekend. “There’s lots of music, lots of live entertainment on the stage and kids activities galore,” said Alexander. “There’s no admission so it’s just a wonderful family event,” she said, urging everyone to bring their lawn chairs and a picnic lunch. “And with that, bring the sunshine.” All the action actually kicks off Thursday with a Family Dance at the Whitevalley Community Hall hosted by the Monashee Arts Council (which hosts a show and sale at Lumby Days). The by-donation event starts at 6:30 p.m. and is a non-alcohol event. The fair fun gets underway Friday with the Shooting Star Midway providing thrills for all ages all evening starting at 3 p.m. Look high in the sky throughout the day to catch the Lumby Air Force in action.

The City of Vernon is being urged to take action to slow down motorists on Predator Ridge Drive.
Resort speed draws concern richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Concerned that speeders may claim a life, Duane Mather embraced the power of the press. The Vernon resident paid for three advertisements in The Morning Star to provide information on motorists putting the metal to the pedal, and particularly the difference between 30 and 50 kilometres an hour. “If it gets one person to slow down, it’s worth the money,” said Mather. Mather decided to take action after ongoing incidents along Predator Ridge Drive. “My wife and I walk the same path twice a day and sometimes we see the same vehicles. Sometimes we’re yelling at people to slow down,” he said. “My wife and I have had near misses in the crosswalk.” The speed limit on Predator Ridge Drive is 30 kilometres an hour and there is a speedactivated sign that noti-
fies motorists of their speed. Mather has nothing but praise for Predator Ridge Resort management when it comes to trying to slow vehicles down. “They have been cooperative and have tried to work with the city,” he said. However, trying to convince the City of Vernon to proceed with traffic calming measures has proven to be challenging. Among his suggestions has been rumble strips, and the retired
oil and gas president has even offered to donate $10,000 for flashing crosswalk signs. “I’m trying to keep the city on side and I want to work with everyone positively,” he said. Mayor Akbal Mund recently went for a walk of the area with Mather. “When I was there, nobody was doing 30 kilometres an hour,” said Mund. “I understand his concerns. Safety is always number one.” However, Mund says that before the city takes possible action, it has to
consider a number of factors, including the scope of the issue, what is the best way to slow speeders down and the financial implications. “Before we decide anything, we would also need to talk to Predator Ridge,” he said. Mund says the city would also need input from the overall Predator community to see what the concerns are about road safety and whether solutions like rumble strips would generate noise. “There are a lot of issues to be considered.”

Browne collects hockey double D-man leads Storm to Junior B crowns KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
From the Kootenays to Wellington, Ont. and finally finding a home in Campbell River come mid October. It was hardly a standard hockey season for Vernon’s Nathan Browne, but one which had a surprising happy ending. Browne, who turned 20 in February, boosted the Campbell River Storm to the Cyclone Taylor (B.C.) and Keystone Cup (Western Canada) championships. “It was a bit of a whirlwind,” said the soft-spoken d-man. “If you told me at the start of the season, I would have won a Keystone Cup, I probably would have laughed in your face. We had such a special group and to win it in my final season is awesome. I’m very thankful for that.” Browne, a 6-foot-1, 178-pounder, compiled three goals and 10 points in 37 games the year before with the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters. After being released by the Smokies, he signed with the Junior A Wellington Dukes. With Wellington struggling and the Storm off CAMPBELL RIVER STORM PHOTO to a 10-0 start, Browne and Storm assistant coach Vernon’s Nathan Browne handles the puck with the Campbell River Storm, Cyclone Taylor and Keystone Cup champions this season.

First-period explosion powers Tigers past Raiders Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers raided Kelowna Thursday. After two sub-par efforts against the Kelowna Raiders in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action, the Tigers erupted for 10 first-period goals on their way to a 16-9 win over the Raiders Thursday at the Kelowna Memorial Arena.

Tiremen roll by Alves Bros. Morning Star Staff
Despite having a two-week break and having their home game moved to Rutland, Vernon Kal Tire showed no signs of rust with a 3-1 win over Alves Bros. of Kelowna Thursday night. Kal Tire stayed atop the Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League table at 8-1, while Alves Bros. dipped to 3-4-2. There are eight teams. Vernon started the scoring with Jesse Knight breaking through and finishing for his seventh goal of the season. Alves came back when a penalty kick was called and veteran striker Morgan Marrs finished his seventh. The rest of the first half went back and forth. Play went coast to coast until near the 70th minute when Mark Budgen headed a ball across and Glenn Allan rushed to the back post to put it in the net. A few minutes later, Knight got free again and despite being taken down and getting advantage, Knight stuck with the ball to finish. Jeff Nice and keeper Ian Butler shared the La Senza Man of the Match for the Tiremen with great pressure by Nice and stellar stops by Butler. Kal Tire entertains the Salmon Arm Beer Badgers (3-4-1) Thursday, 6:30 p.m., at MacDonald Park. With all the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division games being called
due to incliment weather at Marshall Field Tuesday, players battled through the elements in Salmon Arm. The Squires Four Pub shook the Shuswap Kaos 4-1 at Jackson Field. Irene Arrotta was awarded a free kick and found Jacquie Hansen for the ice-breaker. The Kaos tied it just before half on a beauty corner. Tori Feser sniped her first goal on a gorgeous cross from Jennie Currie. Hansen sniped her second of the night when pub crew rookie Sabre Cherkowski found Marisa Weibe, who feathered the ball over to Hansen. Arrotta put the finishing touches on with a bullet off the crossbar and in. Carolyn Gustafson and Barb Levesque played shut-down defence in front of keeper Lisa Arrotta. The Vernon Liquor Store VQA downed their wine rival Shuswap Merlot 5-0 on a soggy night at Blackburn Park. Starting the game with only eight players, Jenn Hatten found the back of the net for VQA. With two players showing up 20 minutes into the first half, Jane Sutton thrrottled home a leftfooted blast. Gail Atha scored her first of two by creating space with her blistering speed. Carl Biddy added a single for the VQA’s. Susan McKinnon and Karen Benn split the keeper duties.

Club boosts Seaton athletic department ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
One look at the old volleyball uniform – a fading blue and white muscle top with “Lady Sonics” crested on the heart above a number – and current Seaton Sonics junior girls volleyball player Sam Scott starts to chuckle. A lot. Like full-out LOL-ing. “I would be kind of embarrassed to wear those,” said Scott of the circa 1980s-early 1990s-style volleyball top once worn by similar junior girls players before her. “They are old. And we’re not called the Lady Sonics.” Added fellow Grade 10 teammate Drew Barker: “And they’re not very intimidating.” Thanks to the efforts of the newly formed Seaton Booster Club, which raises funds and recruits coaches for the school’s athletic teams, the junior girls volleyball squad was fitted with new uniforms. And it paid off. The girls won the North Zone title and finished third at the Okanagan Valley finals to become the first Seaton junior girls volleyball team in 22 years to qualify for provincials, where they placed 14th out of 16. Sure, their skills played a part in getting them to the B.C. finals. But the players believe the new-look unis had something to do with it. “We got a full set of jerseys and we looked pretty good,” said Scott. “Seaton has this image of being not very good at sports, having mismatched uniforms with numbers taped on, and it made us feel like that too,” said Barker. “With our new uniforms, we looked like a team and felt like a team.” The Seaton Grade 8 boys volleyball team won the zone title this year. And did so wearing T-shirts that said “WLS” on the front instead of actual volleyball uniforms. “They had numbers
on, too, but the shirts got super-faded after a couple of washes,” said team player Landon Colvin, whose mom sits on the booster club. The idea for the club was hatched in the spring of 2014 by a concerned group of parents who noticed that the school wasn’t keeping up with the other Vernon area high schools. “We had fewer teams, lacked organization and our gym, uniforms and equipment were in a sad state,” said Janet Gillis, booster club president. “In talking to our own children we realized that many of them didn’t have school pride; that they were embarrassed to be from Seaton. “Other area schools have banners in their gym, newer up-to-date uniforms and solid coaching, and our kids want to represent their school and participate in athletics. It’s been challenging to do so, given that some teams don’t run due to a lack of coaches, and when we do have a team, our uniforms are old, stained and mismatched.” Fundraising began last spring and, by the fall of 2014, the booster club was able to replace three sets of uniforms: the junior and senior girls and senior boys volleyball
outfits. The school was able to field volleyball teams at every grade level. The senior boys also qualified for provincials and finished 11th. Seaton has a swim team with Alex Shortt, Tate Priebe and Pascan Glanz qualifying for provincials, along with the girls 200-metre medley relay team of Shortt, Kaia Phillips, Brynne Ponipal and Abbey Bartel. “We also have numerous other teams at our school that are lesser known, but equally successful,” said Gillis. “This year there a number of athletes playing basketball, boys soccer, junior girls soccer, golf, cross-country running and track and field.” Close to 30 boys are playing in a spring flag football program with the intention of fielding a junior boys tackle squad in the fall. The booster club has been, well, a big boost to the school. “Parents who are on the committee care a lot about supporting sports,” said Seaton principal Jackie Kersey. “They’ve gone out and found coaches and managers for teams, and they’re raising money so that when our kids get out on the courts and fields, they’re confident because they have

In return, the company name will be featured on the jerseys and the company receives a tax receipt for their donation. “It’s a great way to support active youth and have your company name or brand associated with something positive in the community,” said Gillis.

Homes cling to the hillside overlooking a harbour in Grenada. The West Indian island is a regular destination for tourists.
BRENT CASSIE PHOTO
A little Carib in all of us JANE CASSIE Special To The Morning Star
GRENADA - He saunters barefoot, showing no urgency about getting anywhere (or at any time), and the slogan on his T-shirt depicts him to a tee. Although the catchphrase, “There’s a little Carib in all of us,” is advertising the island’s local beer, by the end of our Grenada visit, it signifies a much deeper meaning. Grenada is one of the three Windward Islands located in the Eastern Caribbean, and at only 440-square-kilometres is one of the smallest independent nations in the Western Hemisphere. Lush rainforests drape the volcanic core of this tropical oasis and skinny roads weave over its terrain. During this week of island touring we jostle over crater-sized potholes and swerve around brown-eyed cows and tethered goats that languidly graze along the roadside. Jerrybuilt stilted homes cling to one another and teeter like tipsy sailors. And their occupants lounge about on sunbaked verandahs, just waiting for people and time to pass. “There’s no rush, Mon,” our driver says, with a toothy grin. “It’s always island time on Grenada.” While cruising the verdant landscape, fragrant spice plants and tropical blossoms border our path. Towering mahogany and giant gommiers hug up to fruit trees that bear mangoes, nutmeg, sea grapes and breadfruit. Prickly pineapples cavort with sixteen breeds of bananas, stands of bamboo shoot above broad-leafed callaloos and clumps of coconuts are shaded by billowy palms. It comes as no surprise that this Caribbean dreamscape has been dubbed the Isle of Spice, and we discover that it’s second to Indonesia for the global export of nutmeg. History unites with the bountiful harvest at Dougaldston Spice Boucan where we get a glimpse of the traditional preparation of cocoa. After fermenting for six days in a sweathouse, the beans are splayed on sunbaked trays and, with the help of shuffling

feet, are rotated every hour until they are dried to perfection. “The process may seem primitive,” our guide explains, as we witness a young Grenadian woman go to work, “but it’s been done this way for centuries and it still works today.” The soles of her feet are leather-tough as she tromps through the crazy maze of beans. After the shells are peeled, the cocoa is molded into balls and when mixed with boiling water and sugar, they transform into a yummy hot drink. Others may prefer to spike the concoction with a shot of over-proof rum which, on Grenada, is never too far away. As well as a number of modern-day processing plants, we check out the River Antoine Rum Distillery where they’ve been brew-
ing the conventional way since 1785. A massive water-wheel powers the mill that crushes sugar cane and extracts the precious juice. It’s then channeled through to the boiling house, to the distillery, and bottled at a potent 75 per cent proof. “Mix this with a pinch of Grenada’s cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla,” our guide reveals, “and you’ll have the ingredients for one very wicked Christmas cake.” The spiked spirit is only sold for island consumption and plenty of bottles find their way into the independently-operated rum shacks that line the main streets throughout Grenada. Our road laces the mountainous interiors where waterfalls plummet, pinnacles ascend, and parks beautify; then it descends to a scalloped coastline that shares powder beaches, living reefs and friendly townships. The fishing village of Gouyave, and seaside city of Grenville are a just a couple of populated landmarks that we pass through before heading to the island capital of St. Georges. Although it’s difficult to imagine any strife in this peace-loving nation, it was not always a pretty picture. Like most West Indian islands there had been an ongoing battle between the native Arawaks and Caribs, then by Caribs and French, and finally in 1795 by French and British. Nearly two centuries later, upheaval fell on Grenada’s shores, once again, when the U.S. troops invaded in 1983 to successfully overthrow a Marxist government. Today, Grenada is an independent democratic nation, a member of the British Commonwealth and is as peaceful as it is picturesque. The evening sun ricochets off the redroofed storefronts that rim St Georges’ harbour. It casts a golden sheen over pastel homes that cling to the hillside. Seductive spices permeate the air. And while soaking in Grenada’s sites and sounds at the end of our stay, we also affirm, ‘There’s a little Carib in all of us.’ Jane Cassie is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Quality Greens harvests 20 years Morning Star Staff
An Okanagan business continues to grow after two decades. Quality Greens Farm Market is celebrating its 20th anniversary and it now has four stores in the valley (Vernon, Penticton, West Kelowna and Kelowna), along with a new warehouse location in Kelowna. “Never did we think when our first store opened we would be running four stores and a warehouse operation 20 years later,” said Chris Holmes, who co-founded the company with Lisa Taylor in 1995. Quality Greens has more than 100 employees. “We are very thankful for our team members and customer support over the last 20 years, and also very proud to be a part of each community,” said Taylor. “Thanks to an amazing support team over the years. You don’t run operations of this size without a community of support.” An ongoing focus for Quality Greens is Okanagan grown food items and among those featured in the stores is Jennifer Bellman, with Bellman Speciality Produce in Spallumcheen. “When we started our retail line in the winter of 2014, Quality Greens was instantly a supporter and we were impressed by their passion for local produce and their commitment to local farms,” said Bellman. As part of the 20th anniversary activities, customers can taste products from a variety of local farmers and vendors from Wednesday to June 23.

Quality Greens owner Chris Holmes is marking the store’s 20th anniversary with a fundraiser barbecue Saturday in support of the local SPCA. On Saturday, each Quality Greens store will host a fundraising barbecue and customer appreciation day. Funds from the barbecue by donation will go to the local branches of the B.C. SPCA. “The B.C. SPCA has been so fortunate to
have long time partners in Quality Greens Farm Markets with Lisa Taylor and Chris Holmes,” said Marni Adams, a senior manager with the SPCA. “Lisa and Chris have supported local animals for more than nine years, showing an ongoing commitment to their commu-

Vernon’s Sparkling Hill Resort has gone high-tech. The resort has placed 150 tablets in all of its rooms so guests have convenient access to all of the resort’s amenities via touch screen. “Whether the guest is wanting to check when the next yoga class is, view the restaurant menu, order room service or read the newspaper from their hometown, all is available via the guest tablet from the comfort of their room or from anywhere on the property,” said Jana Gohl, operations manager. “Need an extra pillow or fresh towels, want the valet to bring your car around or would like to book a wine tour? All services are literally at your fingertips.” Hans-Peter Mayr, Sparkling Hill general manager, believes the devices will be popular. “Placing the ability to communicate directly to the appropriate service staff, department or hotel partner in the hands of our guests 24 hours a day is what will differentiate our property from other destinations and in

turn create significant cost savings and additional revenue opportunities”, he said. The program has been initiated by Connecting With Guests. “We are very proud to be a partner in this first-ofits-kind, innovative venture,” said Michael Girard, vicepresident of business development with Connecting With Guests. “Deploying high-quality devices in a unique cost/ occupied room/day model will go a long way in helping Sparkling Hill Resort achieve an even higher level of guest experience and repeat visit goals.”

Business leaders from across the province met in Prince George to set a new policy agenda for the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. As a result, the organization is calling on the provincial government for a more transparent approach to taxation in B.C., innovation in regional solid waste management; and community and local government policies on rebalancing municipalities and regional districts, and for a provincial role in municipal restructuring. “This unique grassroots policybuilding forum brought together chambers from all corners of the province vigorously debate and adopt new policies affecting business operations throughout the province,” said Dan Rogers, Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce general manager. “Policies that are adopted become part of the B.C. chamber’s advocacy agenda. This year, delegates voted on nearly 50 proposed policies.” The GVCC was represented by president Jaron Chasca, vice-president Tracy Cobb Reeves and Rogers. Policies voted into force include: n Promoting innovation in regional solid waste management n A more transparent approach to taxation in B.C. n Rebalancing municipalities and regional districts n Provincial role in municipal restructuring n Making tourism funding more secure “Tourism industry needs the assurance of secured levels of funding to ensure effective long term plan-

Rural communities in the Central Okanagan insist large municipalities are pushing them aside. An ad hoc committee of residents has been formed to lobby for the two electoral areas in the Regional District of Central Okanagan — Central Okanagan West (Westside Road) and Central Okanagan East (east and north of Kelowna). “Our elected representatives have been outvoted on every topic they present,” said Bob Andrews, a committee member and president of the North Westside Communities Association. Each electoral area has one director at the RDCO table but based on population, there are six for Kelowna, two for West Kelowna and one each for Lake Country and Peachland. “The regional district is our only government and we have no voice in that government. There is no say in how we spend our tax money,” said Andrews. As an example, Andrews says RDCO is regionalizing fire services. “It’s a large area and I would consider that inefficient,” he said. The ad hoc com-
mittee says other governance options may be needed to represent the rural areas, and that could include forming municipalities. “A study would indicate whether that’s a feasible thing to do,” said Andrews. Wayne Carson, Central Okanagan West director, says he regularly hears concerns from North Westside Road constituents about RDCO. “The community says it has no voice and no say in their taxes,” he said, adding that he has pushed for his residents at board meetings. “I have found that to be a struggle. The system doesn’t appear to be there for the electoral areas.” Carson suggested RDCO form a committee to oversee electoral area issues, similar to what exists in the Regional District of North Okanagan. “There wasn’t a lot of interest from the whole board.” When asked about whether the electoral areas should become municipalities, Carson says, “that’s a decision that must come from the communities.” Gail Given, RDCO chairperson, defends the process at the regional district board table. “One person, one vote has been the structure (among directors) for more than 40 years,” she said. “Each person votes independently and the municipalities don’t get together and decide how they will vote. There is respect for the electoral areas and the goal is to make the best decision possible.” RDCO is holding public open houses to provide information on various services, including June 11 at the Killiney Beach Community Hall. “It’s a great way to connect with residents. There’s an opportunity for residents to provide direct feedback,” said Given.

Lavington path plan clarified Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Plans for a new path in Lavington are being clarified. The Learmouth Road Pathway project was initially proposed to cover from Park Lane to School Road. However, after discussions with the Lavington community, the project was revised to construct the Path from Reid Road to Bessette Road. “This change was made to provide the ‘best bang for the buck’ and address the safety concerns that had been presented to the district,” said Trevor Seibel, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer. The project costs for the revised section of the pathway were lower than the original project so the budget was adjusted accordingly. “At no time after this decision was made, was the scope of the Learmouth Road Pathway project modified to accommodate price increases in any other project,” confirms Seibel. At the same time, the Kidston pathway
is being extended in Coldstream.
Both projects are funded from the dis-
trict’s gas tax allotment.

With the ease of a telephone call, or in some cases a visit to the office, I am able to refer patients to Whitevalley,” she said. “With the co-operation of the counselling team, we are able to work collaboratively to get the patients back on the road to good health.

Every four years, Scout troops from around the world look forward to attending Pacific Jamboree. And they make the most of the four-year gap between jamborees to raise the funds they need to attend. But for members of 1st BX Scout Troop, it’s a little more challenging to come up with the funds they need in time for the week-long PJ, taking place in Sooke on Vancouver Island this July. “The troop faded away in the mid ‘90s and we were able to pick it up again this year with 11 boys and girls aged 11 to 14,” said Scouter Kevin Bader, one of six volunteer leaders with the troop. “Typically, a Scout troop would have four years to raise funds to make the trip, but because this is the first year of our newly-formed scout troop, our timeline has been really tight to raise enough funds. “Former Scouts that have been to a jamboree always say it’s something they’ll never forget, and it’ll be a cool opportunity to connect with Scouts of other cultures. Eight of our Scouts and six of us Scouters have committed to going, and that means we’ve all been working hard with our different fundraising efforts, from bottle drives to our Christmas tree pickup. By participating, each Scout reduces his or her own total cost.” Registration for the jamboree is about $600 per person, which covers all activities and food while there. The other costs are basically getting to the island and back. Three of the Scouters are driving their own vehicles, but there is also the cost of meals, gas, taking the ferry and camping equipment. “We’ve been slowly building our supplies of camping equipment, but there’s still a significant list of gear to purchase and/or build prior to the trip. Our goal is to raise enough to cover those costs and we need about $2,500 more to reach our goal. If we raise even more, parents will get a bit of a break on the registration fees, so every dollar helps.” BX members were able to vote on the activities they will be doing at PJ, and Bader hopes they will be assigned some of their picks. “There will be about 3,000 Scouts from around the world, all with their own faves as well,” he said. “Rockclimbing, kayaking, canoeing, touring Victoria, fencing with an Olympic champion, and visiting a traditional First Nations’ gathering place are just a small part of the list of cool opportunities for the kids to experience. “Of course, we’ll be tenting and our Scouts will be cooking all of their own meals, something they’ve been practising to get ready for!” Since 1st BX started up again, the kids have voted on their troop goals for the first year, with Scouters guiding them in terms of how to accomplish those priorities. So far, Scouts have earned their knife, axe and saw, fire, and stove and lantern permits, they’ve planned and participated in several tenting adventures, completed a six-hour winter hike, earned a multitude of outdoor survival and safety skills, and have completed a weekend leadership training course. “The list of accomplishments is huge because we meet every week and camp several times a year, and because we work hard,” said Bader.

Missing from photo: Conner Robertson. While busy fundraising to get to PJ, the Scouts are excited about the adventure that awaits them. “I’m excited about meeting everyone from different places and all the activities in general, also to exchange badges and to see what other groups have designed,” said Taylor Clark. Brianna Li has a number of reasons for wanting to attend PJ: “I can’t wait to do real rock climbing, not just on a climbing wall, and to spend a week away from my brothers.” Brynne Francescutti is looking forward to camping in a part of Canada where she’s never been, an adventure she will share with her brother, Thomas, and sister, Brooke. “I’m looking forward to doing all the fun activities that there will be,” she said. Jeremy Bader is looking forward to everything about PJ, and said it will be fun camping with all of the other Scouts for a week. “I love camping and I’m also looking forward to meeting
other kids from around the world and trading crests with them,” he said. “It’s a tradition at jamborees, a way to meet new friends, and I’ll be able to add them to my campfire blanket.” And for Alexander Kazimer, PJ is a chance to try new things. “If you never try, you think of it as never failing, but you are actually never succeeding,” he said. To help 1st BX Scout Troop get to Pacific Jamboree, donations are always welcome. “Every time we are out in the community, we are approached by people who used to be in Scouts,” he said. “They are always eager to tell us of their memories of enjoying the outdoors, learning new skills, and working as a team. If you are able to help out our Scouts attend this once-in-alifetime event, we will gratefully accept your donation.” Donations can be made by contacting Kevin or Shawna Bader at 250-558-5688.

hen I watched the news reports of the Truth and Reconciliation process this week and they showed the young children in the residential schools, I imagined my sons there. They were once sweet-faced children, the same as those children. I tried to imagine being at my home and having someone in a position of authority coming to our door and taking my sons away from me. Taking them out of my arms, my sons crying, myself crying, screaming in Michele Blais pain and confusion. Why, where will they go, when will I see them? The arrogance of such a horrible action. I try to imagine what my pain would have been like knowing that my young sons were with strangers, mean ones at that. Who in an act of kindness removes children from their homes for the reasons the indigenous children of this country were removed? The grief and pain that the parents would feel makes my stomach ache trying to imagine it, and all I am doing is imagining, I’m not living it. The ache, the emptiness, the confusion, anger that you would feel towards the church and to the government. The hypocrisy of this situation of those actions, the abuse, and then the gall of sitting in judgement of the lives of others. In my mind, the pain would be unbearable. Then in my imagination I go to where my young sons are lying in bed at night wondering, did someone tell them a story, tuck them in, is someone there if they get scared, are they together to comfort each other? Have they been fed, are they safe? Where are they? When will I hold them again? They must miss me so much and be so confused and scared. There were people watching these aboriginal children at night, and not in a loving way but in a horrific abusive way, sexually abusing or beating the young boys and girls. And this was done to generations of children and their families. The government and churches involved destroyed the family process of generations learning from generations, how to be in a family, develop and strengthen relationships, nurture, care for each other, learn to parent and to be a child. We must understand the horrific impact of the

residential schools so that we can understand and move forward. I am always amazed by the strength of the human spirit and what people can live through and survive. What we want now is for people to thrive. I wish that on Friday’s news I had heard that the Department of Aboriginal and Northern Development had overspent their budget and that schools, health centres, water treatment facilities, social services were in place in communities in need of these. Instead this government underspent in the last five years by $1 billion, an amount that was more than enough to solve real problems. The need for dollars for some indigenous communities is so great. Being invited to the table to negotiate and knowing the dollars were there is important; not being informed there is money on the table is extremely disappointing. I also was dismayed by the arrogance of that minister who sat with that grim expression while the room stood and applauded the speakers at the ceremony. Can we please try to move forward and get the right people into these positions who will make a difference, not people who would obviously rather be somewhere else. Locally, I hope that the Kal Lake trail (which I selfishly hope becomes a walking and biking trail) can be developed as communities fully integrating our communities with the local First Nations communities in the planning and development of that parkway. I know there are more complicating concerns at stake. Canada is our country — let’s make our future better, together.

“
Still singing Tradition
Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as... a fiddler on the roof!” So says Tevye, the most beloved dairyman and father of seven daughters the world has ever known. Originally embodied by Zero Mostel, it’s been 51 years since the charismatic and proud Jewish patriarch of the musical Fiddler on the Roof first appeared on the Broadway stage. His popularity was sealed seven years later when the film version, starring Topol, was released. And if you needed any proof on how much this guy is still loved, witness the sold-out, five-run local production of Fiddler on the Roof Kristin Froneman that has been taking place at Powerhouse Theatre this weekend. Produced by Big Apple Productions and Valley Vocal Arts, with direction and full piano accompaniment by local wonder woman Melina Moore, the hands and faces of Thursday’s opening night audience are likely still aching from all the clapping and laughing that was going on. A lot of this show’s success must be attributed to Tevye himself, in this case Paul Rossetti, who wears his beard and prayer shawl well – not bad for a gentile Italian-Catholic boy indeed. From the opening number, Tradition, with the ensemble, to his incredible rendition of If I Were a Rich Man, hand gestures and facial expressions all on cue, to the quieter moments, where he breaks the fourth wall, speaking to the audience and God, Rossetti’s Tevye is full of chutzpah. However, a leading man is nothing without his family, who round out this story of love, faith and tradition in troubled times. Before we get into that, it must be said that besides being a musical-comedy, Fiddler is also a political story, set before the First and Second World Wars, when Jews were persecuted and displaced from their villages by the Russians for no other reason than their religion. It is also a story about a father, whose daughters wish to break with tradition. This takes place around the time when women in the west were fighting for their

See the full-length review at www.vernonmorningstar.com/entertainment. rights in the suffragette movement. The plot centers on Tevye and his wife Golde’s efforts to find husbands for their three eldest daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava (the harmonious trio of Courtney Harker, Keira Millin and Harriet Gardner). To their credit, but to their parents’ horror, the girls end up breaking tradition by marrying for love rather than having their marriages arranged by Yente, the town’s matchmaker. However, the old fashioned sentiments of the plot (this is set in a pre-Downton Abbey era, after all) are matched by a strong female contingency. Besides the daughters, you have Tevye’s nagging, voice-as-screechy-as-nails-on-achalkboard wife Golde (the fantastic Karen Bliss, whose voice is truly golden when she sings!) Then there’s the matchmaker (played by Susan Currie, who sounds more like she’s from Queens, N.Y. than someone living in czarist Russia, but no matter, she’s hilarious). And let’s not leave out the men: those husbands-to-be, matched and otherwise, who come in various states of facial hair (thanks to stylist Jessica Johnson), not to outdo their singing talents. I wish I could mention everyone here by name (see the photo above for some of

them), but there are just too many who make up this huge cast. I will, however, mention some of my favourite scenes: They all come in act one when Tevye gets drunk at the tavern with Lazur Wolf (a heavily bearded Brian Martin) and then later falls into The Dream, where the ghost of Grandma Tzeitel (Moore’s delightful New York mama Ann Schein) and Lazur Wolfe’s deceased wife Fruma Sara (the fantastically scary Sara Evans, who is pushed around on a 10-foot tower on wheels) haunts him. And then there is the scene that will have you toasting L’chaim (to life) all over again. Anyone who has been to a bar or bat mitzvah, or in this case, a Jewish wedding, will know what I’m taking about lots of singing, dancing and clapping. Speaking of dancing - the four male Russian dancers (Nicholas Faucher, Patrick Yurkiw, Cameron Fraser-Monroe and Jay Megyesi, who are members of local Ukrainian dance groups, Sadok and Zirka) literally steal the show during the tavern scene (L’chaim) and the wedding between Tzeitel and Motel (Sunrise, Sunset.) Their incredible Hopak dance, with leaps, squats and kicks, and at one point balancing open glass bottles on their hatted heads, will have you shouting “mazel tov!”

t’s been a crazy spring here at the Performing Arts Centre. These last few months have been absolutely packed with events of every kind and for every taste.

Missoula Children’s Theatre arrives in Vernon in July with its theatrical production of Red Riding Hood, starring a cast of local youth ages six to 18.
Camp offers theatre roles to kids Morning Star Staff
Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we go. Actually it will be to the Performing Arts Centre they go when Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) returns to Vernon with its allnew production of Red Riding Hood. North America’s largest touring children’s theatre is bringing along all the tools needed to stage the production, except the cast. That’s where local children come in. Registration is now open to ages six to 18 to be part of the weeklong theatre camp, which begins July 6 and runs from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The camp ends on July 11, when the cast and crew take Red Riding Hood to the stage for two productions at 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. “The production is more than memorizing lines. Missoula Children’s Theatre’s mission statement is the development of life skills in children through participation in the performing arts,” said Brian van Wensem, audience development coordinator with the VPAC. “While children are learning the theatrical production, they will also have the opportunity to explore who they are as actors and individuals.” No preparation or prior experience is required and participants need only to arrive with a bagged lunch and the desire to join an on-stage adventure, learning a unique adaptation to the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood. “It’s an experience that develops creativity, social skills, goal achievement and self-esteem,” say organizers. For those who aren’t interested in being in
the spotlight, there are four additional backstage spots available for ages 10 and over that will teach important fundamentals of running a production from behind the scenes. The Missoula Children’s Theatre has been touring extensively for more than 40 years from Montana to Japan. They will visit nearly
1,200 communities this year with dozens of touring actor/director teams. Registration forms are available at the Ticket Seller box office at the Performing Arts Centre. Registration is first-come, first-serve and there are a total of 64 spots available. Call the Ticket Seller at 250-549-7469 for more information.

HEALTH TIP SUSAN CARRIE
brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
There really is no safe way to tan. In fact, in some circles, a “healthy tan” is an oxymoron. Skin experts say it takes only one painful, blistering sunburn during the first 10 years of life to double the risk of skin cancer. This is one situation where “an ounce of prevention” is certainly true. Protect your skin this summer. June is Brain injury Awareness Month in Canada to raise awareness that “a concussion is a brain injury”. Brain injury is a silent epidemic. In fact, it is the number-one killer and disabler of people under the age of 44. The Brain Injury Association of Canada urges all Canadians to help prevent acquired brain injuries by wearing helmets while cycling, skateboarding and playing contact sports. Are you a slow eater? Good for you! Studies done on this topic show that those who take time with their meals and chew their food longer will consume fewer calories and you will feel fuller faster. Food digestion begins in the mouth so chewing longer will help this first phase of digestion. Dr. Ted Sourkes died in January. His research provided a great step forward in the treatment of Parkinson (PD) when he noticed that PD patients’ brain had lower levels of dopamine. Dopamine doesn’t pass through the barrier of the brain, but he noticed that a precursor to dopamine, L-dopamine, did enter the brain. This drug provided PD patients with a new lease on life. When new drugs are discovered, chances are that we will know about them. Keeping current with what’s new in medications is an important part of our job.

Gilcrest will also be reunited with his ex-girlfriend Tracy (Rachel McAdams) and her family. Then he finds it difficult not to fall for his feisty Air Force liaison Allison Ng (Emma Stone). When the payload of the rocket they are launching comes into question, everything in Brian’s life changes, based on a single decision. We say, “It’s reasonably entertaining, but Aloha feels hollow.” TAYLOR: I think the problem with Aloha is its lack of focus. The rocket launching aspect of the story is inconsequential to what makes the film interesting, namely the relationships between
Reel Reviews
Columbia PiCtures
Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone hit it off in Aloha. the characters. Yet almost a third of the story is devoted to the launch and everyone is somehow involved with it. Gilcrest could have come home to Hawaii and decided whether or not to take over his parents car wash business. As long as we had the same interpersonal connections made, it would be the same movie. Admittedly, a rocket launch is slightly more interesting than a car wash. However, due to the time given to this odd thread running through an otherwise well-made movie, I can’t help but feel disappointed by the usually decent writer/director Cameron Crowe, (Vanilla Sky, Jerry Maguire, Say Anything...) HOWE: I’m going to have to disagree with you and say that I
wasn’t disappointed with it. Aloha doesn’t have the strangeness of Vanilla Sky or have the classic line “You had me at hello” like Jerry Maguire, yet there was something about the film that had me smiling and wanting it to go on a little longer. Some of the acting was very good. Cooper gave one of his better performances, similar to the one in Silver Linings Playbook, yet it was the normally irritating Danny McBride who I was most impressed with. This guy can actually act, well to some extent anyway. TAYLOR: Aloha does have some very good acting, especially silent acting, which of course I love. I was touched emotionally in the appropriate places. Still I can’t help but feel a bit underwhelmed. But, for a straight-up relationship movie, this might be the strongest one of the year, despite the strange and shallow B-story. Plus it’s filmed in Hawaii, which doesn’t hurt. HOWE: If you fancy a movie that isn’t full of CGI, dropping the F-bomb every five minutes, or if you’ve had your fill of superheroes, then Aloha makes for a pleasant change. –Taylor gives Aloha 2.5 salutes out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 Santas out of 5.

OKANAGAN COLLEGE
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Frank and Ernest
Vernon Residential Construction program 2016 Housing Project for Okanagan College
Bridge by Phillip Alder NEAR THE END, PLAY FOR AN ENDPLAY Nora Ephron, an author and a screenwriter who died in 2012, said, “I always read the last page of a book first so that if I die before I finish, I’ll know how it turned out.” That is depressing, but at the bridge table, it is excellent if, from trick one, you can envision how the deal will end up in your favour. This week, we have looked at a slightly more advanced topic: elimination and endplay. In our final example, how should South play in six hearts after West leads the spade queen to dummy’s king? North’s sequence was a tad unscientific, especially as it was not certain that South had a high diamond.
But it kept the defenders in the dark. South has two possible losers, one in each minor. And someone who does not know about endplays would try first the diamond finesse, then, when it lost, hope to find the club queen. However, the contract is a certainty. Declarer draws the missing trumps, cashes dummy’s spade ace, leads the diamond queen (to tempt East to cover with the king if he has it), wins with his ace, ruffs his last spade, and casts adrift with dummy’s diamond 10. Note that declarer has drawn trumps, but has at least one left in each hand to benefit from a ruff-andsluff, he has eliminated two side suits, and has lost the
lead. Whichever defender wins with the diamond king is endplayed. He must either lead a club, which finds the queen for South, or play a spade or diamond, which concedes a ruff-and-sluff. Declarer ruffs in one hand and sluffs a club from the other.
The Program, led by a certified Journeyperson Instructor, will fill the role of a framing and foundation subcontractor for the builder, and take the project from the initial stage (lot layout) to lockup (roof on, windows and doors installed), with no cost for labour.
Projects must meet the following criteria: • All projects considered, with preference given to not-for-profit projects • Project funding in place • Shovel ready on March 7, 2016 • Target date for lock-up is June 24, 2016

Buy direct from 3RD GENERATION family business
With the deepest sorrow we unfortunately have to announce the passing of Wally, Walter Lyall Fisher Jr at a young age of 57. Wally was born in Vernon BC but his last 3 months were spent in the hospital, fully determined and fighting to get his health back to normal after undergoing complications. Wally was a smart strong willed man that strived to always do better but in this particular situation he chose to go out with dignity after a tired body wouldn’t let him go any further. He is now home in God’s arms and with the loved ones he has missed dearly while on earth. Wally lived a fulfilling successful life full of good times and memories, weather it was enjoying the outdoors, fishing, hunting, playing sports, or just spending time with the people or dog companions he cared about. He held a good career with Shaw Cable for over 25 years, which he worked very hard at. Wally took pride in everything he did. In his younger years he was a sheet metal journeyman. Wally was a man who always carried a selection of valuable knowledge with him. He excelled in all sports he attempted and had a great passion for soccer. He played in Vernon then later, while residing in Kelowna, coached his daughters team before coming back to Vernon 12 years later. That is just a small bit of Wally’s many accomplishments. I feel that Wally touched everyone he met in some way and he will be greatly missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to meet him or know him.

Anne Ryall
(Wally) Walter Jr. Lyle Fisher
(nee: Michalkow)
Forever loved … forever missed
It is with heavy hearts and great sadness we announce the passing of Anne (Annie) Ryall at Noric House on Friday, May 22, 2015. She will always be loved and remembered by her children Mark (Heather) & David, Grandchildren Michelle (Kurtis), Kelsey (Tom), Nicole (Jon), her Great Grandsons Mason & Brayden and Daughter-in-Law Debbie. She was predeceased by her husband & the love of her life, Jack in 1990. Mom had a 15 year battle with Alzheimer’s. She was born in Vonda Saskatchewan on September 06, 1929 to Martin and Julia Michalkow, they moved to Flin Flon Manitoba where she spent her childhood. In 1951 Mom moved to Vernon BC and took a job as a Laboratory Technician at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. She met Jack Ryall and they were married on September 05, 1953. They built a home at 1501 - 39th Avenue in Vernon. Mark was born in 1956, David in 1957. When her boys were in school Mom went back to work and was in charge of the Laboratory in the Vernon Medical Clinic, where she worked until she retired. Mom was an amazing person, she would get up at 5:00 am in the spring and summer, garden for an hour, then get ready, make lunches and go to work. Mom would can and freeze all manner of fruit and vegetables each year, peaches, apricots, cherries, pears, crab apples, corn, tomatoes, peas, beans and we would all spend a weekend making apple juice, the cold room was always full. She loved the outdoors, cutting firewood, fishing gardening, pruning trees, picking mushrooms and berries. The family spent many wonderful years working and playing at their cabin (Broken Back Shack) on Kalamalka Lake. Mom was involved with the Anglican Church Guild, she did projects for the annual Church Bazar for many years, making sauerkraut in a 10 gallon crock and canning it, making Yule Logs, rolling old newspapers into small logs tying them, then soaking them in a 45 gallon drum of Copper Sulphate, they would burn in a fireplace with a blue and green flame, these were all family projects that we fondly remember. During her retirement Mom spent a lot of her time with her 3 granddaughters whom she adored, “Grammie” shared many special moments with the girls including her love for gardening, cooking and camping at the family cabin or trailer at Wood’s Lake Resort. She helped them become the wonderful women they are today.Thank you so much to the staff at Noric House for the fantastic care they gave Mom during her stay there, and thank you to Dr. George Borchert for his care of Mom. There will be a family service on July 13, 2015 in the Chapel at All Saints Anglican Church, the place Mom & Dad were married.

It is with heart felt sadness we announce the passing of (Wally), Walter Jr. Lyle Fisher at the young age of 57. He was predeceased by his mother Helen Fisher (October 5, 2014) and survived by his father Walter Fisher, sister Debbie and daughter Shauna and his own loving daughter Jessica. Wally was a good son, a terrific brother and the best dad ever. Wally loved nature and the outdoors and he and his many dog companions spent most of their time enjoying it. He loved fishing, hunting and was competitive in soccer and hockey in his younger years. Wally enjoyed his employment with Shaw Cable for the past 27 years and looked forward to his retirement. Wally’s strong will and determination helped him with his 3 month struggle in St. Paul’s Hospital but on June 1, 2015, Wally bravely said goodbye to his family and good friends and we lovingly had to let him go. Wally didn’t like funerals so his cremation and ashes will be scattered by family at his request. We will miss him truly.

In Loving Memory of
FORREST HOLTON 1930 - 2005 Husband, Father, Grampa … and Friend Well Dad, 10 years goes by so fast with so many changes and new additions … yet it feels like we just said “good-bye” yesterday. We think of you often. In silence, with laughter, tears and reflection. We miss you at all the family gatherings … and when we need guidance … we know you are there with us … somehow guiding our paths in your own special way. With many career changes and paths, somehow we know you had something to do with it … making your transition a little easier for us to get through the hard times. Your undying love for Mom, how you called her your “sweety” with such affection & warmth, we are so luck to have had your example to live by. How you adored us all individually and your “never quit” attitude that keeps us going no matter what. We miss you but knowing we will be together again comforts us in our daily lives … families are forever. Forever missed … forever loved by Pauline, Gerry, Rorie, Dave and families!
The best job EVER! I found it in the classiÀeds, and so can you.

Starvation proves miserable in poverty challenge Leo Joy Special to The Morning Star
My family and I completed the Live Below the Line Challenge going five days, eating on less than $1.75 per day. We did it to draw attention to 1.2 billion extremely poor people on this planet and to raise funds for RESULTS Vernon, a local group dedicated to ending this crushing and completely unnecessary poverty. I have been a poverty advocate for over a decade yet I was stunned at how ill prepared I was. With a low income and four kids, I have lived in poverty for most of my life and I thought this would be easier than it turned out to be. Eating healthy is a top priority: lots of veggies; few packaged foods; I prepare most things from scratch. But this is much harder. Sheri Joy is a bookkeeper and tax preparer. She measured and costed everything. Sadly, coffee had to go and it quickly became clear that we could fill our stomachs but good nutrition was not going to happen. Curtis Williams is a gifted cook and had high hopes of developing some cheap but nutritious meals. Day One: We started with enthusiasm and trepidation. A large bowl of large flake oats with nothing. Just oats. By the afternoon Sheri and I had caffeine withdrawal headaches and added a three cent tea bag, which we reused all day long. It helped. No cream, of course. That would be six cents. Sheri became so grateful that her mother taught her how to garden and cook. We supplemented our diet with fresh herbs she grew in pots. They added flavour and desperately needed nutrients. Day Three: We are both cold and listless. Not enough food to stay warm. We ate some slender quesadillas for supper. No condiments, of course. They didn’t go very far and the cheese put us
dismayingly over budget. Sheri had a bath to warm up and we went to bed after supper because we were exhausted. Day Four: I could barely focus. Apparently I attended a meeting. I struggled to pay attention and I don’t remember a single thing. And yet, we are so glad we did this. Doing the challenge has been an education. Raising funds for the poorest of the poor is our goal but like so many times before, doing something for someone else brought unexpected reward. We have a deeper understanding of chronic malnutrition as a barrier to progress out of poverty and our (fuzzy) thoughts have been on the two billion people who survive with chronic malnutrition. Curtis did the challenge his own way and hated it. He says it was a miserable experi-
ence. Even a gifted cook needs raw materials. The last day! We used our left over cents to squeeze in some food value and our thoughts were more focused. However, it was too little. Sheri usually goes days without making a single error but on Friday and Saturday, quality control flagged about 50 per cent of her work with errors. Some of them were so elementary that her co-workers have declared, “never again.” I was asked if we were going to feast at midnight. I thought of the 1.2 billion people who live on less that $1.75 per day with no escape from the crushing poverty: I couldn’t do it. Recovery: It has been over a week since we finished. My body craved protein for days. Sheri’s appetite and energy are still fluctuating. I have fasted for 10 days and 30 days in the past and
it is much easier to go without food. Trying to survive on a poor diet was really, really hard. We are all glad that we did it. I am more determined than ever to support RESULTS Vernon in helping the poorest of the poor climb out of extreme poverty. In the last decade, child deaths from poverty have plummeted 60 per cent. The number of people in extreme poverty dropped from 2 billion to 1.2 billion. We have an ambitious but realistic plan to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030. What we need now is for people to show up, take action and make it happen. RESULTS Vernon’s next meeting is Wednesday, June 10 at 7 p.m., in the Community Room at the Vernon library.
