Grass fire sparks warning RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A rural Lumby fire has sparked a warning about dry conditions. On Tuesday at about 3:35 p.m., Lumby firefighters responded to a grass fire in the 1500 block of Creighton Valley Road where a resident had been doing some burning. “The wind came up and the fire got into trees,” said Tony Clayton, fire chief. The fire, which grew to one hectare in size, destroyed a fence
and came within 50 feet of a home. With near-record temperatures in the North Okanagan, there is concern about the local fire threat. “There’s a lot of dead grass on the ground,” said Clayton, adding that residents must be careful with sources of fire. “If you don’t have to burn, don’t, but if you do have to burn, have the right equipment with you. This fellow (Tuesday) had a hose and everything else but the wind came up.”
Alberta relief begins Morning Star Staff
The Canadian Red Cross is responding to massive wildfires that have triggered the largest fire-related evacuation in Alberta history. About 80,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in more than 12 northern communities, including Fort McMurray. Canadians wishing to help can donate to the Alberta Fires Appeal at www.redcross.ca/albertafires, by calling 1-800-418-1111 or by contacting their local Canadian Red Cross office. Donations could provide relief for those affected in the form of emergency food, clothing, shelter, personal services and other necessities that assist with recovery and resiliency.
able disease, illness or disability and natural death is reasonably foreseeable. Arnold says he won’t decide how he will vote until he sees the final wording. “I want to see the
strongest safeguards for the most vulnerable,” he said. “I would like to see clarity and definitions in the draft legislation. The definitions now are too open to interpretation.”

The other thing is the condition of the Vernon Cemetery. There was a front-page story in this paper on Wednesday about the terrible shape it’s in. The story, posted on the paper’s Facebook page, touched a nerve with people as there were many negative comments about the look of the cemetery. There are hundreds of heroes to lots of Vernonites in the cemetery. My parents, both sets of grandparents and my best friend are buried there. I was near tears last summer when I saw the brown grass because there hadn’t been any watering. I stopped by last week and it looked like a run-down lot in some places. How did it get to be like this? Why did it get to be like this? Are we not aware of how much the people buried there mean to us, to the city, to its history? “There were a lot of weeds. A lot of it looks like a desert landscape. It shouldn’t look like that,” said Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund. No, Akbal. It shouldn’t. On May 24, city staff will bring forward recommendations and cost estimates for improvements and upgrades to address weed control and repair damaged turf areas at the cemetery. Our heroes deserve that.

The Okanagan region is no stranger to wildfires or mass evacuations — Cedar Hills, Fintry, Terrace Mountain, Kelowna, Oliver and Salmon Arm. So it’s with context and understanding that we watch the emergency in Fort McMurray unfold. Our interest is also largely fuelled by the strong social and economic links between the Alberta oil city and our valley. But what’s happening there is so much more dramatic than anything we have experienced to date. More than 80,000 people have fled their homes, which is almost equivalent to the entire population of the North Okanagan. As of Thursday morning, the blaze was a massive 10,000 hectares in size and at least 1,600 structures had been consumed. Government and non-profit agencies are struggling to meet the immediate needs of those displaced, and, of course, longterm planning and recovery will eventually be on the agenda. All of these efforts will require significant financial resources. We would encourage all North Okanagan residents to consider making a donation to the Red Cross or other charitable agencies as they are financially able. The rest of the country has helped the Okanagan during disasters and now it’s our turn to give back. And if making a donation is challenging, please keep our neighbours and friends in Alberta in your thoughts and prayers.

Do your part for environment
I
am a 12-year-old, Grade 7 student at Beairsto Elementary School. I have written this letter for you to think about what's happening to our environment and other living things around us You might not realize or simply just don't care that people around us have been dropping empty water bottles, plastic bags they no longer need, candy wrappers and many other things. All of those things are what animals think they can eat or use. I have seen birds with thick plastic wrapped around their wings. At the same time, an animal has been wounded from the plastic we use to hold a six-pack of pop cans together. Think, this is all what we have done because we litter. I don't think that we are proud of that, are we? I have seen many things that people have just left on the ground or tucked in a bush. For example, I was walking and I saw an ice tea bottle that someone had thrown in a bush at the edge of the sidewalk that I picked up because people could care less where they put things they no longer need.
timelY stances I was happy to see Coun. Scott Anderson put forward a motion regarding council working on providing a proposal for Mel Arnold to take to the federal minister, Jean-Yves Duclos, regarding homeless partnership sharing. This motion was presented at the city council meeting recently and is very timely. Things are only going to get worse here if the situation around homeless is not proactively dealt with. Secondly, the question to city staff regarding all of the invisible lines on the streets here by Anderson is also very timely. There is no point in putting lines on streets that disappear very quickly and serve no preventive role after that. Either put in lines that are durable and stay visible, or find another way to protect cyclists and pedestrians in this city. This is not a cry in the wilderness but a reflection of what has
I think that if there is something that is not supposed to be there, then don't put it there. We can make a change if we try. Some people complain that they don't walk to pick up garbage because it's not theirs. In particular, if you are on a walk with your dog and you don't want to carry the poop bag, you decide to throw it in the bush and pretend that it is not yours. In another situation, there is a piece of garbage tucked in the side of the bench and you see it but don't pick it up. Why? If you don't do so, our world will become one giant piece of garbage. So if you are on a walk with your dog and you don't want to carry the dog poop bag, then put it in a spot where you can pick it up on the way back. Also, if there is a piece of garbage tucked in the side of a bench, then pick it up so it won't blow away and so you can avoid harming an animal. In the end, you may end up thinking to yourself, "Do I want to pick this piece of garbage up? Well not really, but should I pick it up? Yes." Holly Keyton
been written in the letters section here a great deal lately. It was nice to see Anderson put it into a request that now necessitates a timely response from the city engineers who are responsible for doing this job properly. I await that response as I tentatively put on my reflective vest and LED flashing light and see if I can get to the other end of Bella Vista Road without getting sideswiped by some young guy in a one-ton truck with too much power and too much time on his hands to notice that I am on the paved shoulder which is no longer distinguishable from the rest of his traffic lane. Dean Roosevelt deserve better I recently went to the Vernon cemetery to visit my parents and some of my friends and relatives. I was shocked at the condition and state of repair when I got there. It looks like the water has been off since last summer.
There were weeds and dandelions everywhere and very little grass. Most cities treat their cemeteries and the people that are resting there with respect. Most cities have cemeteries that are well maintained and groomed with green grass. Our cemetery looks like a cow pasture. It's disgusting. I also went to visit my brother-in-law at the columbarium. I was horrified to find garbage everywhere and even a used condom. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned or maintained for ages. The ground was all broken up from shrubs that had been removed. My mom and dad, my brother-in-law, aunts and uncles and some friends are resting here. They all deserve better. Shame on you Vernon. There is no dignity at the Vernon cemetery in its present state. Roger Westlake problem people Problem bear, no. Problem people, yes.

Cinnamon; yes I've given him a name as he deserves that respect; was killed recently because people leave their garbage out. Cinnamon was innocent in his behaviour. He was doing what any animal would do and that is looking for food. The residents are the guilty ones; not Cinnamon. I want to see a movement started that will make people be held accountable for their ignorance. They should definitely be fined heavily for their misconduct. Garbage needs to be locked up and contained in a safe place so innocent bears like Cinnamon don't get killed. He was only two years old. If there is anyone who is interested in helping me on this issue please contact me. Together, we might be able to make a change. These bears and other wildlife really need our help. Linda Maclean hullcar water It is obvious to this reader that
the Ministry of Environment is in the wrong business. They would do well as a propaganda branch of the Department of National Defence. Instead of going into their meeting with the Save Hullcar Aquifier Team with an open mind for a discussion and ultimate solution to the problem, they went in to intimidate their opponents and emerge victorious. They employed an age-old strategy for preparing for the conquest of the enemy. "Before the opening of hostilities enlist the support of the masses by first demonizing the enemy." I see no problem with the notification of the RCMP of the upcoming event, but to ensure that the public is aware of the action gives away their motives. The police are usually called to an event to protect the good guys from the bad guys. I must commend our police force for seeing through the subterfuge. Jim Davis

placed in the compartments. As Learning made his way to B.C., police decided he should be arrested in Salmon Arm. As his van was stopped at a red light, officers surrounded the van. Learning was the driver and sole occupant. The vehicle was seized and searched, and the sham cocaine was found hidden in the two fake compartments. The cocaine Learning was expected to be carrying would have been worth between $1.2 and $2.3 million, depending on how it was to be broken down and sold. Defense counsel admitted the possession of the cocaine would have been for the purpose of trafficking. “The whole of the evidence points to no other reasonable con-

A Vernon man has been found guilty of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking in Saskatchewan. Ronald Charles Learning, born in 1983, will be sentenced in Regina Provincial Court in June for his roles in one of the largest drug busts in Saskatchewan’s history. Justice Beaton heard how Learning was arrested in October 2011 in Salmon Arm as the result of a lengthy police investigation into the transportation of cocaine from California into Canada via the Saskatchewan/ Manitoba border near the town of Val Marie, Sask. A criminal-turnedpolice agent, associated with the trafficking, was given 30 kilograms of a cocaine substitute which included nine grams of actual cocaine and a tracking device. While wearing an audio recording and transmission, the agent proceeded to cross the border on an all-terrain vehicle in order to meet a courier, believed to be Learning, in the remote part of Saskatchewan. Police obtained a description of the vehicle Learning would be driving and set up surveillance in a number of locations as Learning’s vehicle – a Ford Windstar minivan – made its way to the meeting spot near Val Marie, and then to Salmon Arm where Learning’s vehicle was stopped by police. Court heard how Learning met the agent in an abandoned farmyard a few miles north of the border, and took control of the sham cocaine, and gave packages of pills and $10,000 cash to the agent for delivery to the U.S. The agent observed that the pills and cash had been hidden in secret compartments in the van, and that the sham cocaine was later

clusion that the accused was the courier who met with the agent,” wrote Justice Beaton. “I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused had possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking... “...The accused was well aware that he was receiving illicit drugs to transport to B.C. He was also prepared for this task as he possessed numerous cell phones, had the tool required to open hidden compartments and had energy drinks to keep him awake during this trip.”
Learning is also slated to go to trial in Vernon Supreme Court in October on possession of firearms offences related to an arrest in January 2013 that started with a seizure of a large amount of heroin at the Vancouver Airport. On Jan. 13, 2015, a search warrant was executed at a Vernon residence where four loaded handguns, more than $10,000 in cash and various types and amounts of both prescription and non-prescription drugs were seized.

Car show helps family Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Mother’s Day will pay tribute to a young Vernon mom whose life was cut short. Melissa Gobbett, 33, died of a rare form of brain cancer April 13, 2016. While her two young boys, and husband, lost their mother, her story continues to capture attention, and hearts. Melissa’s family, as well as B.C. Children’s Hospital, will be the recipient of a fundraising barbecue and car show Sunday at Blacktop Performance (4617A 34th St.) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “It’s really fitting that it’s on Mother’s Day,” said Robert Armstrong, who put together the event after hearing about Melissa. Like many, Armstrong wanted to do something to help, but he took it a step further and has been busy putting together an event in support. “I want to make it an annual or biannual fundraiser where I focus on one family,” said the 22 year old who is chief operating officer at A1 Bus. Armstrong is an “average guy,” who was raised with a loving family, but has had more than his share of close calls. “I have cheated death, so to speak, so I feel pretty lucky to be here,” said Armstrong, who survived his left

Those wanting to come show off their ride are also welcome to attend the show. “My one rule for getting into the car show is you have a passion for your car and you think it’s show worthy,” said Armstrong.

Rockets grab Yorkton product 1st Black Press Sports
The Kelowna Rockets added to their stable of young defencemen with their first pick Thursday morning at the 2016 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft in Calgary. After trading choices with Red Deer to move up to the 11th position overall, Kelowna selected Kaedan Korczak, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound blueliner from Saskatchewan. Korczak played Midget AAA with the Yorkton Maulers last year, despite being only second year Bantam age. Kelowna assistant GM Lorne Frey said when Korzcak was still available midway in the opening round, the Rockets jumped at the chance to trade up and bolster the future of their defensive corps. “We’ve had a philosophy for years that the back end is very important,” said Frey. “You don’t win without some defencemen
that can defend and also provide some offense. Kaedan is a big, solid, all-around two-way player. “He’s a good skater, he’s mobile and can play in every situation. He has a chance to be a stable defenceman for years for us.” Korczak will play one more year of Midget AAA in Yorkton before being eligible to join the Rockets. He will attend the Kelowna training camp this summer and said it was a dream come true to be selected by the Rockets. “I was in shock (when they drafted me). It was a very exciting moment,” said Korzcak said. “I’m really excited to be drafted by Kelowna. They develop good players, it’s a nice city with a nice rink and a great organization.” Frey said Korczak has good skills and can play in all situations, including power play and penalty kill and the Yorkton defender said he likes to join the rush but also be responsible defensively.
They had all winter to digest losing the Gibson Cup final to the North Enderby Timber last August. Those memories were somewhat put to rest Wednesday night as Turn-Key Controls brushed back the 11-time Cup champion Timber 3-2 under inclement weather at MacDonald Park. It was NET’s first loss in three North Okanagan Soccer League starts. Turn-Key moved into first place at 3-0. The rain proved to be a factor 20 seconds in when two Timber defenders slipped simultaneously, allowing Turn-Key forward Lendrit Ademi to walk in on a breakaway and beat outstretched Timber keeper Ean Ross with a leftfooted bullet to the bottom left corner. Turn-Key carried the play in the opening 15 minutes, using some good possession on the soggy field, but were unable to score again in the opening 45 as Ross made a few aggressive saves to keep things tight. Things settled down for the rest of the first half with both teams generating little offence. As the rain poured down, the goals flowed in the second half. Timber defender Jared Townsend – back in Vernon after several years away – slipped on a challenge on Andrew Pool in the 18-yard box causing a foul which led to a Turn-Key penalty kick converted by Ademi. Some great work by Kanwar Pandher led to a cross to Pool. Pandher was involved again shortly after, taking a pass inside the six. An aggressive Ross made the Total Restoration Save of the Game. Conan (The Barbarian) Ackert, who used the game as preparation for his scheduled wrestling match with Mayor Akbul Mund at Saturday’s Invasion Wrestling Charity event at the Vernon Rec Centre, found Ademi at the top of the box shortly after. Ross again made the stop. Ademi posted the hat trick after a Timber give-a-way. He took a pass on the left flank and fired a corker bottom corner past a diving Ross. The Timber woke up after that goal and spent the majority of the final half in the Turn-Key zone, twice finding super striker Brent Poulsen. Townsend played a gorgeous through ball to Poulsen, who timed his run perfectly to stay onside for the first snipe. Poulsen then fooled a defender and beat charging Turn-Key keeper Greg Douma. Poulsen added a second in the 75th minute after a great solo run from Finlay McPhie. McPhie, a 6-foot-1 centre back who just finished his sophomore season with the CIS Thompson Rivers WolfPack, danced around defenders at the top of the 18 and then sent in Poulsen, who buried the one-touch shot. Meanwhile, Peters Tirecraft grounded Monashee Surveying 4-2 under the lights at the Greater Vernon Athletics Park. Goals for Tirecraft came from rookie Zach Anderson and Clark Richardson in the first half and Axel Chinyanta, on a penalty shot, and Justin Mitchell, on a pretty give-and-go with Kyle Richardson, in the second half. The Morning Star Man of the Match for Tirecraft (1-2) was Shane Whitley for his stellar play on the back line. Monashee dipped to 0-3.

The lavender leopards tried padding their lead, but for the all-world goalkeeping of Aida Dempsey, who made seven acrobatic stops in the half. Before the break, Lauren Cunningham dispensed a candy-coated pass through to Arwyn Thomas, and she tied it with a rollicking strike. Early in the second half, Kyla Trottier tapped in Olivia Henderson’s goal-mouth pass. Camryn Steele and Trottier added goals with strong boots. Crushers Erica Lovelace and Panther Brinnlee Magee played smashing defence. Sophie Challen was an orange blur all over the pitch, while Cora Van Fleet and Chloe Lu showed catlike reflexes in the purple net. The Navy Knights delivered a 2-0 win over the Canadian Rebels in McDonalds U11 girls action Saturday at Marshall Field. Both teams went in undefeated and the excitement started as Navy’s Sasha Austin nailed a shot off on a pass from defender Alecia Hughes.

The Impact improved to 3-0 by brushing back the Controllers 3-1 Tuesday night a t Marshall Field #2. Fast Eddie Ramsey got the Impact ramped up by feeding Nelson product Char McNaught, who laid the ball off to Shelinda Morin for the opening strike.

Stacey Cover completed the attack with a sweet 20-yard free kick. The Gray Monk goalkeeping was shared by Lori Phillip, Dana Hornibrook and Morin. Fletcher Meats Lady of the Match for the Impact was Bacon. Angela Durfeld scored for the Controllers off a rebound from a close shot by Karen Zupp that was crossed along the six-yard box by fellow forward Carla Rayner.

Brandie Hunter, Maritza McLeod, and Jody Peshko were solid on defence, holding the Impact’s speedy forwards to minimal chances most of the game. Squires Four Pub/ Dr. Lee’s joined the Impact at three wins by icing the Shuswap Merlot 6-0 in Salmon Arm.

Knox returned the favour to Fox, who wired a shot, and Drayden Harshenin added a breakaway goal to give North Okanagan a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. The Legends increased the advantage to 6-0 after two periods on goals from Jacob Brewer, who was sprung into the clear on a beautiful pick by Eric Gibson, and powerplay lasers from Griffin Evans and Liam Cyr on a fourminute double minor. Cyr, from Knox, and Sean Howard, with a long-range snipe, rounded out the scoring in the third period for North OK, who received a solid 31-save performance in goal from Troy Cuzzetto.
“I thought Amy Fox and Macey Drabiuk had some great chemistry on offence,” said Legends head coach Casey Sheriff. “Drayden Harshenin and Sam Knox were all over loose balls in both ends of the floor and Wyatt Fowler gave his usual 110 per cent.” The Legends host their four-team Rock The House tournament this weekend in Armstrong. North Okanagan plays the Kelowna Kodiaks today at 2 p.m., Delta Islanders Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and Kamloops Saturday at 1 p.m., all at the Nor-Val Sports centre. The semifinals are at 8 and 9:30 a.m. Sunday at Nor-val. The two winners meet for gold at Nor-Val, the losers play for bronze at the Hassen Memorial Arena, both at 12:30 p.m. Waylen Stowards scored the first four goals and finished with five on the night as the North Okanagan Legends downed Kamloops #1 14-9 in Novice division play. Kohen Pounder and Charlie Demers each scored three goals for the Legends, who outshot Kamloops 45-16 with Aidan Wattie picking up the win in goal. Single goals went to Tyrell Palm,
Kian Yargeau and Tristan McKenzie. “The kids played hard,” said head coach Chad Pounder. “Great defence and a good effort from all.” North Okanagan Sun Valley Source For Sports Tyke #1s played two exciting games last weekend, icing the Kelowna Kodiaks 7-3 before clipping North Okanagan #2 4-3. Shanahan Gare and Max Power scored their first-ever lacrosse goals against Kelowna, while Blake Bell bagged three goals and Asher Kuiken recorded a deuce. Goalie Calder Barry was outstanding, shutting out the Kodiaks in the second and third periods. In Game 2, it was a see-saw titlt which saw Power and Chayton Tardiff of the Tyke #2s both superb in goal. Bell rang up another hat trick and Kuiken recorded the winner. Goals for North Okanagan #2 came from Wyatt Stowards, Tyler Mcintyre and Conner Johnson. The Source For Sports crew doubled Kamloops in other Tyke play. Connor Johnson fired three goals, while Oliver Maleska produced a spectacular single.

Band proves that rock isn’t dead Citizens Unite unites members of Vancouver’s hard rock scene for a show in Vernon Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
If you listen to the top 40 these days, or are hooked on country, you might think that a certain music genre is missing. But for those pundits who have declared that rock is dead, or is resting, they may want to check out a live show by Vancouver-based band Citizens Unite. With guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, these guys are bastions of hard-edged, melodic rock, as will be proven when Citizens Unite plays at Vernon’s The Green Saturday. The band came to be in early2013 when guitarist Kai Markus, of Noise Therapy, Econoline Crush and Methods of Mayhem (the band founded by drummer Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe) approached vocalist Paul D’Eath, of Mushroom Trail, about starting a new project. Default bassist Dave Benedict joined the band soon after. “We’d been talking about doing something for years and then Kai called to say he’d love for me to be in his band,” remembered Benedict. “I always liked his style and he’s an amazing artist and guitar player but I wasn’t sure. Then he sent me a song he had been working on with Paul. I looked at my wife and said, ‘I have to do this.’” That song was Push, which has since become Citizens Unite’s first single off its debut EP, released in January. Attesting to how close-knit the rock scene in Vancouver was, and still is, Benedict brought in drummer Cameron Belter, who he played with in a band before joining Default. “I actually quit that band at the time to join Default. We’ve made

Vernon’s Sons of Distraction (below) open. amends since,” laughed Benedict. “This is how small the music scene is that when Jeremy (Hora, guitarist with Default) first came to see me, my band was opening for Noise Therapy.” Belter actually moved back to Vancouver from Regina, where he had relocated when that first band dissolved, to become a member of Citizens Unite. “When he saw we had a project going, he noticed one of the key elements was missing, drums, so he moved back to Vancouver,” said Benedict. “He’s an amazing drummer and brings so much to the project. He’s also a piano player and is musically schooled. He also takes care of our social media and website. He’s the hardest working guy out of all of us.” Benedict’s background in music can be traced back to these parts. Originally from Owen Sound, Ont., he moved to Kelowna after graduating high school. “I took some courses there and played in a band, Jester’s Revenge, but soon outgrew it. I wanted to be heard, so I went to the place where everything was happening,” he said. Vancouver around that time
had a pretty healthy rock scene with bands like Econoline Crush, Limblifter, and yes, Nickelback all making their mark on the Canadian rock landscape. At that time, Benedict and Hora were working at a Ford dealership on the Coast. “We were always talking about music. He was starting this band and needed a bass player and that’s how Default came to be. Within a couple of practices we wrote Wasting My Time and it became the biggest song we ever wrote,” said Benedict. The band soon signed with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s 604 Records label and after finding success in the earlyto-mid 2000s, Benedict said the tide began to change when his fellow Default bandmates started doing other projects - in other genres.
“Rock was becoming a smaller group than what it was. We lost one of our own guys (Dallas Smith) to the rock-country scene,” said Benedict. “We still hang out and we talk about playing again, but Dallas is doing so well with his new country band, and all the other projects that we have going on are outside of music.” Benedict not only started his own graphic design business, but a family. He now has three kids. Citizens Unite came along just at the right moment, he said. “All of us agree that playing in a band and going on tour is one of those things that has to make sense. We have to be able to have the lifestyle we have and none of us can afford to go on the baggy Spandex tour, where we eat a loaf of bread and live in a van.” The Vernon show is providing the band with that opportunity to get its feet wet outside of Vancouver, and prove that rock knows no borders. “We will take any opportunity to play out there,” said Benedict. “I still try to get out to the Okanagan once or twice a year.” Opening for Citizens Unite at The Green is the newly formed Vernon band Sons of Distraction, who will be playing their first public gig. The band features former Redfish members Steve Butler on drums and guitarist Dean Gordon-Smith, with vocalist Dave King, formerly of The Ride, and bassist Tim Osbourne, who got his start playing in the band Martin with Andrew Allen and more recently played in The Shawn Lightfoot Band. Described as having a sound that is a hybrid of soul, garage, blues and rock, Sons of Distraction have just recorded a new song, You Weigh Me Down, which is up on their Facebook, Reverb Nation and Soundcloud pages. Doors to Saturday’s show at The Green in the Village Green Hotel open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 in advance at The Green or $8 at the door.
Meet the Painted Fruit Kristin Froneman
Morning Star Staff
The question is often asked: What happens to kids who form bands in the garages and basements of their hometown, then leave said town after high school to start their lives? Do they keep playing music together? In the case of the guys from Painted Fruit, the answer is yes. The four gents who make up the band all grew up together in Vernon and have made their mark in their new hometown of Victoria. About to play a show here on a crosscountry tour with theatrical Vancouver rocker Johnny de Courcy, The Morning Star recently spoke with Painted Fruit’s bassist Noah Varley, with input from his bandmates Evan Aasen, Ben Smith, and Jon Varley. MS: What’s the band’s history? How did you meet/form? PF: We all grew up together in Vernon. My brother Jon and I lived a few blocks from Evan and Ben on East Hill. We’ve known Ben and Evan since elementary school. Ben, Evan and I played in a band in Vernon in high school and then we all moved to Victoria and Jon joined in.

tion from Simon Fraser University in 2000. “Always, I have made time to photograph, draw and paint,” said Ward, whose photo cards are available at various outlets in Vernon. “My Facebook page is where I share photos; my purpose being to find beauty and share it. “I am curious about materials and methods in the production of painting and am exploring what’s new in making art. I find great delight and inspiration viewing art displays.” Both exhibitions open with an artists’ reception Thursday, May 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Gallery Vertigo is located at #1-3001 31st St. (upstairs in the Winnipeg Union Bank building, downtown Vernon).

Ready for Leaving
ernon singer/songwriter/ keyboardist Betty Anne Northup brings a triple threat shot of mellow balladry to her album, Ready For Leaving. Her selfproduced album showcases Northup’s casuDean Gordon-Smith ally deceptively vocal power set against a collection of love songs with plaintive themes. Ready For Leaving has a candid character that owes as much to production values as to Northup’s choice of material and musicians. Her vocal presence is powerful but friendly; you get the sense she won’t hit a wrong note because if she did she’d work it into tune. Melodic strength and vocal assurance ring through Northup’s material. In spite of some restless themes within the content, Northup’s clear and lovely phrasing gives the melodies a perennially hopeful identity/ character (Rearview Mirror, Ready for Leaving, Broken Heart Parade).

Vernon-based singer-songwriter, keyboardist, producer, instructor and allaround talent has just released her new album, Ready for Leaving. The album has a few departures into Wild West 19th century themes that offer a tangent from Northup’s easy listening sound. The spirit of the album is in Northup’s interpretation and delivery of almost familiar adult oriented rock sounds that are reminiscent of Carole King’s mid1970s’ heyday. Northup also lets in bluesy notes that tail off at the end of her phrases – a sound made more alluring because of its offhand nature. Ready for Leaving is an upbeat sunny collection of songs with romantic atmosphere and a countrified edge from a versatile perormer.

Tour brings Fruit back home
Continued from A29 MS: How has your reception been in the capital? I used to live there when it had the moniker, “newly wed, nearly dead.” It had a great live music scene, though. I saw some great bands back then at the old Harpos and some dive on Broad Street (think it was called the Outer Limit). PF: Our reception has been great, our shows have been well attended. I think that moniker stills applies though. During the school year, the university students fill out the city. At times the music scene feels stagnant because there are only so many people here who are interested in smaller independent music. It feels like a small town in many ways. That being said, there’s a handful of really great bands here like Smoke Eaters, Freak Heat Waves and Fountain who are being recognized on a wider scale and who tour. In town, there are a some smaller venues and house venues that are fun to play. The more established bars seem a bit hesitant to take a risk on smaller bands and will mostly put on early shows. We are really interested in playing alternative venues, which wouldn’t generally host a music event. MS: Is this your first major tour, and if so, what are you most looking forward to? PF: Three of the Fruit members toured in Alberta and B.C. last summer, but this is definitely our first big tour as a band. We’re excited to go with our mate Johnny de Courcy and play his songs too. It will be a good opportunity to experiment with our songs and improve as a band. We’re excitSubmitted ed to play at Sled Vernon’s Painted Fruit bring Island Festival their tour with Johnny de Courcy, in Calgary, go to who mixes freak rock balladry, Prince Edward squalling guitar, and subtle Island and visit hints of jazz, to The Point Studio French speaking in Vernon Monday. cities! We’re hitting every town possible and spreading it on thick. MS: Who came up with your band name (is it Fruits or Fruit?) I’m not an art history major, but maybe you were influenced by Cezanne’s paintings (he’s the only artist I can think of who became famous painting fruit, but there’s probably others...) PF: It is Painted Fruit, we changed it from Fruits for no reason. It’s really confusing for other people and funny for us. Evan came up with the name. Painted Fruit was Evan’s username on an internet dating website. We subconsciously grew into our name and starting cross dressing and experimenting with playing different characters. We are an art project. We’re also a science experiment. MS: Is there any plans for a recording, or have you been in the studio lately? Please flog your music... PF: We have a seven-inch split record with Smoke Eaters from Victoria that we’re self releasing before we leave on tour. Also we recorded a four-song tour cassette, which we will only be selling at the shows on the tour. We’re planning to record a full album as soon as we’re back from tour of the new songs we will play on tour. Our first album (Fruit Salad) can be found on the internet at: paintedfruits.bandcamp.com Painted Fruit and Johnny de Courcy play at The Point Studio (located at 3125 31st Ave. in Vernon)
Monday. Opening is local band //AMISTAD//. Doors open at 8:30 p.m., with //AMISTAD// taking the stage at 9 p.m., Painted Fruit at 10 p.m. and de Courcy at 11 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door (all ages).

With vaccines, timing is important HeatHer Way Special to The Morning Star
Have you heard of parents choosing to “design” their child’s immunization schedule? This may include waiting until their child is older before getting their immunizations (shots) and/or choosing some of the recommended vaccines but not all of them. These parents may believe that by designing a different immunization schedule, they are doing what is best for their child. However, these decisions are not supported by research and are not recommended by health-care immunizers. They may put your child at risk. It is important that children receive all recommended shots on time. The BC Immunization Schedule is based on scien-
tific research and designed to protect children from getting diseases when they are most vulnerable. If we delay giving children their shots on time, we leave them exposed longer to illnesses which can make them very sick. Following the recommended schedule gives the right protection at the right time. Some vaccines should be given starting at two months of age because that is when babies are most at risk. Some vaccines such as whooping cough (pertussis) are given as a series over time in order to build the best protection. Why do some parents choose to delay or alter immunization schedules? They may worry their baby’s immune system cannot handle more than one shot at a time.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry. Babies are exposed to many germs in the environment and their bodies are able to handle this exposure. The same happens with vaccines. A baby can receive many vaccines at the same time without any problems. Some parents may wonder if a baby’s body can handle all those vaccines without “using up” their immune system. You bet they can! More immune cells are being made all the time. When you give your baby their shots on time, the immune system gets primed to fight off those diseases which might come along. And remember, it’s perfectly OK for your child to receive several shots at the same appointment. Getting all vaccines for which your
child is eligible, both in their combination form and at the same appointment, is just as effective as giving separate shots over more appointments. Plus, it means fewer needles for your child and that’s always a good thing! Every parent wants to do what’s best for their child. So save designers for your wardrobe and not your child’s immunization schedule. Get all your child’s shots on time. If you have any questions about the BC Immunization Schedule or your child’s shots, speak with a public health nurse, your family doctor or nurse practitioner. Heather Way is a knowledge coordinator with Interior Health’s immunization and communicable disease program.
Quilter shares her love of vintage textiles Contributed
Are you interested in how to create warmth in your home? Do you want to know how to care for your vintage textiles? Love textile art? Then don’t miss the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives’ “Vintage Quilts Made New Again” quilt talk and display by Debbie MacLeod May 28 at 1:30 p.m. MacLeod has more than 10 years of experience creating quilts for clients using their treasured pieces and heirlooms, including vintage quilt tops, embroidered table cloths, doilies, run-
ners and even T-shirts. On display will be a handful of her finished vintage quilts and textiles, including a dresser scarf embroidered in the 1940s that she’s quilted, as well as about 15 quilt tops that are unfinished. During the short talk, MacLeod will share her love of vintage textiles and speak about how she began collecting items to quilt. She will talk about each of her pieces on display and explain how to care and display your own vintage textiles. She encourages everyone to bring their own vintage quilts and textiles to
show and tell following her talk, at which time she can offer individual advice. After the talk, guests are invited to enjoy tea and pastries, take in the table displays by Tupperware, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef and Epicure, and spend some time exploring the museum. As space is limited for the talk, you are encouraged to pre-register early. Admission is by donation. For more information, call 250-542-3142, visit www. vernonmuseum.ca or find us on Facebook. The quilt and quilt top show will remain on display until June 4.

YOUR BEST SHOT
Here’s your chance to win the...
2016 AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Frank and Ernest
OF THE
YEAR CONTEST
A BLACK PRESS AWARD-WINNING CONTEST
Moderately Confused
We are seeking B.C.'s best amateur photographers to send in their favourite photos of an event, a sport, a family image, and/or action shot within the last 12 months.
Bridge by Phillip Alder WILL THIS DEAL BE TAXING TO YOU? Tom Lehrer said, “On my income tax 1040 it says ‘Check this box if you are blind.’ I wanted to put a check mark about three inches away.” This is the traditional day by which Americans must have submitted their income tax returns; although, for some reason, we are all being given an extra three days to pay the money this year. We are looking at opener’s rebids after he has bid one of a major and heard responder use the Jacoby Two No-trump to show at least four-card support and game-going values. If opener does not have a strong side five-card suit to
show, but has a singleton or void, he bids that suit at the three-level -- as in today’s deal. After North controlbids three hearts, South uses Blackwood, and signs off in six spades with one ace missing. (If you employ Roman Key Card Blackwood, North should answer five spades, showing two key cards and the spade queen, claiming that he has the trump queen because he knows of at least a 10-card fit.) How should South play in six spades after West leads the diamond queen? It looks as though declarer must guess who holds the heart queen -- but that isn’t true. South wins trick one with his diamond ace (the honor from the shorter side first), plays a club to dummy’s
ace, ruffs the last club in his hand, leads a diamond to the king, and ruffs the remaining diamond. Then he casts adrift with a trump. What can East do? Nothing. If he shifts to a heart, it locates the queen; or, if he leads a minor, it concedes a ruff-and-sluff.
Submit up to 5 (five) of your favourite shots between now and July 4th, then all photos will be reviewed and a select number of photographers sen for e will be chose fo the t e ultimate ult ate prize of up to t $1500 in prizes p and full VIP access to the t e Abbotsford International I te at o al gust 12-14, 2016.

May 6th, 2012
Anastasia Wagenstein With heartfelt sadness, we announce the passing of Anastasia Ollenberger Wagenstein on Sunday May 1, 2016. Anastasia was born to George and Clara Ollenberger in Denzil, Saskatchewan on December 29, 1925. The family relocated to rural Dawson Creek, BC where Anastasia spent her childhood and adolescent years. As a young adult, Anastasia chose to pursue a career in the city and enrolled in Edmonton’s School of Hairdressing and Beauty Culture. After graduating from the program, she secured a job at Staber’s Beauty Salon. Through her colleague and best buddy Theresa, Anastasia met the love of her life, Robert Wagenstein. The two became inseparable and were married in 1955. They remained in Edmonton until 1980 when they moved to Vernon in pursuit of a new lifestyle. Anastasia possessed a natural talent in the kitchen and in 1985 completed the Professional Cook’s Training Program. She became the driving force behind the success of the Schubert Centre’s lunch program for seniors until her retirement in 1999. Anastasia spent her last few years delighting the staff of Noric House with her charm and graciousness. Anastasia was predeceased by her beloved Robert in 2000 and leaves to mourn two daughters, Roxanne Wagenstein (Clive) and Laureen Livingston (Dan), three grandchildren, Morgan Livingston, Tyson Livingston and Tony Anderson plus a wealth of siblings, nieces and nephews. A celebration of Anastasia’s life will be held at a later date. Anyone wishing to attend can email rwagenstein@gmail.com for details. In lieu of flowers, Anastasia would appreciate donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC or the Alzheimer’s Society.
“I Love You for a Hundred Thousand Reasons, But Most of All I Love You Because You’re You�. We miss you dearly and love you always

News
I
Just call me Rev
s it just me, or are you noticing that people are quoting unreliable ‘news’ that they have obtained from someone on the internet, who is attempting to present themselves as a real journalist? So let me define what a journalist is. A journalist has usually graduated from a reputable school of journalism, or has worked in, say - a newspaper office, or in a newsroom in radio or TV and has come up through the ranks. Their writing is professional and they are held accountable for what they Carole Fawcett write. Then there are people like me. I am a freelance writer (among other things) and as my writing is usually paid for (magazines, etc.), I too have to write responsibly and I too have to be able to back up the content of my writing. I am also a member of the Professional Writers Association of Canada. The articles (on the net) that really get to me are the ones that state the information is scientifically driven……….with ‘proof ’ and ‘research’ to back them up. (actually bits of information they have found on other unsubstantiated articles on the net……….. weak opinion pieces). The internet has helped to spread more misinformation than ever before and it borders on fraud and in fact is fraudulent in some cases. As well as spreading misinformation via the written word, the internet has a neverending source of degrees. Did you know that if you fancied having a Masters Degree, or even a PhD, you could simply buy one on the net? I mean, why do all the work? I think there is a token essay you may have to write, but basically, despite the dubious content of the ‘course’ or ‘essay requirement’
you get your degree by passing over money. Not one of these offered ‘degrees’ can be failed due to lack of knowledge. How insulting to those who have worked hard to get the genuine thing. It kind of also screams out lack of ethics and professionalism too. So, last May (and just for fun), I decided to see if this was as easy as it seemed. So, I sent away for my Credentials of Ministry. It even says on the Certificate that “The Bearer Hereof Has Been Ordained and is officially recognized as a member of the monastery and has all rights and privileges to perform all duties of the ministry.” It has a lovely gold seal on the Certificate. It really does get sillier and sillier. (My former Father In Law – a Professor of Theology for the United Church of Canada would be turning over in his grave…….or perhaps…. knowing him, he would have had a good laugh.) Okay – don’t get your knickers in a knot. It will never be used and will remain inside the plain brown envelope it arrived in. Well – I may put the certificate up in my home office, just to bring about a giggle from time to time. Let me share what I received for my $54 USD. 1) The aforementioned Certificate; 2) A lapel card that clips to my clothing that says Clergy; 3) A Ministerial parking permit (that looks like one of the handicapped permits) to hang from my rear view mirror; 4) A press pass that states ‘this vehicle is on official business’; 5) a bumper sticker that says Minister; 6) Another bumper sticker with symbols that represent just about every single religious belief system on the face of the earth – that states “we are all children of the same universe”; 7) A wallet card that spells out the credentials of Ministry. On this card it states that the Certificate of Ordination is for life. LOL. So I guess if my other work slows down I can do a few weddings….? After all, my Dad was a marriage commissioner for the Shuswap region The Ultimate Comfort System.. (Province of B.C.) Complete perfection in comfort back in the day.
