NOCLS tournament swings out final year Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
A bittersweet breeze blew through the course Friday as golfers took their final swings in support of the North Okanagan Community Life Society. Despite a feeling of sadness, participants made sure the 25th, and final, Charity Golf Classic was one of the best. The event at the Vernon Golf and Country Club raised $121,355 for NOCLS to create possibilities for developmentally and physically challenged individuals. A roster of 136 golfers, almost all repeat supporters, took to the course following a caddy auction Thursday. The caddies brought in $11,101, including $3,000 from The Morning Star’s Lisa Stensrude and Sara Lunde. Vernon Mayor Akbal Mund collected $2,800 and City Furniture’s Sareena Nickoli raised $1,900. “For a cause like this, who can miss this?” said longtime supporter/former Good Guy Ruby Sharma, who has actively been involved for more than 20 years. Ryan Fairburn, who has played for the last several years, echoes Sharma’s sentiments. “It’s a great cause, no question. And it’s a lot of fun.” But after a quarter of a century, the time has come to move on and NOCLS is looking at its options for a different sort of fundraiser. “It’s a little sad but hopefully it will open the door to new opportunities,” said Fairburn. Original Good Guy Don Kendall returned for the final event. He commends NOCLS executive director Garry Molitwenik for the tireless work he’s put in since the first golf tournament in 1992. “When the fundraising started for NOCLS 25 years ago, nobody even knew what it was,” said Kendall, a former Morning Star publisher who chaired the campaign to build the original NOCLS day centre. “I told Garry he needed to raise the profile and he did a good of that.” Now, NOCLS is looking at how it can continue to capture community support but move away from the golf event. “Twenty-five’s a good time to say

Former Good Guy Ruby Sharma smiles after a good drive off the first tee. goodbye,” said Molitwenik, noting that there used to only be two tournaments in town and now there’s a dozen, all for great causes. Discussions have been thrown around about a bike event or beach volleyball, but whatever it is, Molitwenik promises it will be fun. “The big thing is you’ve got to have fun.” Molitwenik thanks the countless individuals who have supported the golf tournament over the years, from the sponsors, to “die-hard people like Sharma, Danny Miller and Barry Aimes, the list goes on.” And even his own family. Son Ryan Molitwenik, of Heartwood Homes, is responsible for 10 of the teams thanks to a bond with contactors, cabinet makers, a former boss and more. “A lot of the golf tournament is on relationships.” The team Spirit Award went to Brian Johnson, Norm Brenner, Mike Otter and Brian Fair.

ties and organizations with their planning process,” said Mel Arnold, the region’s Conservative MP. The former Conservative government had shifted the long-form census from mandatory to voluntary, but the current Liberal government has reversed that decision, meaning that anyone who receives the long-form must fill it out. One of the concerns within the former Conservative government was some of the questions infringed on privacy, while others didn’t believe it should be mandatory to fill out the form. “People are concerned about privacy but it’s covered by privacy legislation so it shouldn’t be a problem,” said Arnold. “We’ve heard that community and health organizations use the information and if it’s good for the community, so be it.” The current federal government says accurate data is needed to plan services such as child care, schooling, family services, housing, public transportation and skills training for employment. “I am proud of our government’s decision to reinstate the mandatory long-form census, ensuring that Canada’s national statistical system remains strong,” said Navdeep Bains, innovation minister, in a release. “We are committed to evidence-based decision making and to making available the data needed by organizations and by governments to make informed decisions.”

Mussels stopped at border RICHARD ROLKE
Morning Star Staff
A close-call has officials ringing alarm bells over invasive mussels. A boat infested with zebra mussels was recently stopped by inspectors in the Kootenays and Vernon Coun. Juliette Cunningham says the species must be stopped from arriving in the Okanagan. “It only takes one,” she said of an infested boat impacting infrastructure and Cunningham changing the ecosystem. “It’s terrifying.” On April, 28, a boat didn’t stop for inspectors near Elko but conservation officers later tracked it down. Inspection teams have checked 1,200 boats so far this year. Of those, 64 were flagged as
coming from high-risk locations, resulting in 12 decontamination orders and seven 30-day quarantines. “The numbers are staggering,” said Cunningham. The mussels, which have spread across North America, can clog pipes and other infrastructure, displace native aquatic plants and wildlife, degrade the environment and affect drinking water quality. The provincial government recently announced that five permanent boat monitoring stations will be set up near the Alberta border while there will be three stations near the U.S. border. However, Cunningham says the government’s actions aren’t sufficient and she is concerned that infested boats will still get into B.C. “Every possible crossing needs a permanent station,” she said. — with files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

Silver Star bike park earns top ranking Morning Star Staff
Silver Star’s mountain bike park has secured second place in the annual MTBParks Riders Choice Awards for Western Canada for the third year in a row. Riders Choice winners are selected based on input from mountain bikers throughout Canada and the U.S. who participate in a survey delving into every aspect of their favourite trails and destinations. “The award is a great way to kick off summer,” said Cam Sorensen, bike park manager. “Right now, we’re starting to get the park ready – installing bike carriers on the Comet chair and looking forward to getting out to prep the trails in a few weeks. There are big expansion plans for this summer with continuing work on our signature 30-plus kilometre XC loop, Beowulf, which is designed to be a destination ride. We’re also going to be rebuilding Rock Star.” This year’s Riders Choice award comes on top of Silver Star’s silver level ride centre status from the International Mountain Bicycling Association and third-place ranking from unofficialnetworks.com.

decided to work with community groups to reinvigorate and expand this year’s Canada Day festivities. “We want to bring in a few new events to increase the involvement,” said Coun. Randal Ostafichuk. “Instead of heading to Vernon, we can encourage people to stay right at home. The more we offer, the longer people will stay and the more fun they will have.” Some of the suggestions for July 1 are entertainment, a sandcastle contest in the volleyball court and a cook-off. Mayor Kevin Acton supports the village getting directly involved in the celebration. “I got a little frustrated with Canada Day last year,” he said. “Attendance was low so mayor and council need to put more into it. We really want to ramp it up for Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017 and keep it going.”

Picnic shelter gets funds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An investment is being made in a local park. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee will give $24,670 to the Okanagan Landing Community Association to construct a picnic shelter at Paddlewheel Park. “The shelter will be owned and maintained by the Landing association,” said Keith Pinkoski, Regional District of North Okanagan parks manager. The 20-foot-by-30-foot timber-frame structure Keith Pinkoski will have a heritage theme because of the property’s former significance as a terminus for rail and lake transportation. The total cost of the project is $49,670 and other funding sources are being sought by the association. Development fee change on hold It’s not known if some fees for non-profit housing will be scrapped. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has tabled possible approval of a bylaw that would
see non-profit rental housing exempt from development cost charges for parks and water. “It’s not clear what a non-profit society is,” said director Mike Macnabb. “There’s no certainty that expensive housing with affluent people doesn’t come to us and says, ‘We’re a society.’” The City of Vernon has also raised concerns about the bylaw details. “We will review the comments from the city and provide further details,” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan chief administrative officer. Drought response in place There’s a plan if it’s a long, dry summer. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has endorsed terms of reference for a drought stakeholder working group. “The intent is to provide stakeholder input to drought/water supply issues and communications strategies,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager, in a report. The drought committee will include representatives from Vernon Jubilee Hospital, agriculture, the landscaping and irrigation sectors, hotel and tourism associations, nurseries and car washes.

Rural politicians want to keep Vernon’s library open Sundays but the cash must be found. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, and Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director, are considering a request from the City of Vernon to assist with Sunday hours at the Okanagan Regional Library branch from October to April. “We are looking at how we may do it but we don’t have a funding service in place,” said Fleming. “I think the library service is a good one and Sunday openings are worthwhile.” ORL had insufficient financial resources to keep the branch operating for four hours Sundays so the city took over the payment in 2015 and has decided to do so in 2016. But because the branch is also used by residents of Coldstream and the two electoral areas, the city is asking those jurisdictions to contribute. Coldstream recently agreed to provide $3,255 for 2016.
The city asked for $5,417 from the two Greater Vernon electoral areas as well as the electoral areas in Cherryville, rural Lumby and Enderby. However, it’s unlikely there will be funding from the non-Greater Vernon electoral areas. “Each of those already has a community library that they support,” said Fleming, who says BX-Swan Lake and BX-Silver Star could possibly pick up the entire $5,417. “It’s not a massive amount of money to extend the service.”

A bridesmaid no more
t’s fairly well known around these parts that The Morning Star team, also known as The Word Nerds, are the perennial bridesmaids at the Junction Literacy Centre Adult Spelling Bee Challenge. Well, no more I tell you. Um, although I’m not exactly sure what place out of 26 we came in, although it was likely below the 50th percentile, at least we didn’t come in second for the fourth time in recent memory. No, that frustratMITCHELL’S MUSINGS ingly close but oh-soGlenn Mitchell far-from-glory title went to the Bold ‘N Agers who actually lost out to the Queen Beez & Co. in a word scramble of all things to break a tie after the tie breaker. That’s kind of like losing a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup final in a shootout after going four-on-four for a period, but I don’t want to make the runners-up feel any worse, after all I can empathize, times three. Actually I had an uneasy feeling when I got to the Lodge, er Atrium, Wednesday

morning early. That never happens, and Cara Brady was the only other team member there, plus they sat us next to our archrivals, the Okanagan College Eggheads. They aren’t really our archrivals. It’s just they always win, and, well, we don’t. (If you’ve been paying attention you’d know they didn’t win this year either, maybe cause they sat next to us, it’s hard to know.) I even had a nice chat with OC principal Jim Hamilton about the news of the day and we wished each other well. Yeah, right. But I started to get an uneasy feeling after the third person came by our table asking “So, you guys going to win this year?” Of course it was all yellow-clad volunteers from the event with the best of intentions, but it kind of amped up the pressure a bit too. And then when we went two for five in the first round my worst fears were realized, even though my math skills are worse than my spelling skills – we weren’t going to come in second, let alone win. Although apparently our spelling of minutiae might have been OK according to the video replay booth in Toronto, it was a trivial point, so to speak.

But you know what, we all felt bad briefly because we’re competitive creatures, and pointed a few fingers even more briefly, ahem, it also took the pressure off somehow and the rest of the event was quite enjoyable, thank you very much. Although a little rattled, but more relaxed, we pulled four out of five in the second round and would’ve got perfect if I didn’t think saccharin ended with an ‘e.’ Apparently it’s sweet enough without it. But I redeemed myself in the tie breaker round, spelling escheat correctly even though I had never heard of the word before. It’s of the legal persuasion. Ironically we got all three right in the tie breaker round for a moral victory, but a victory just the same. And the real winner, of course, is the literacy centre that put on a great event and got $30,000 worth of love from the boosters gathered for breakfast on Wednesday morning. Plus it was a lot of fun as usual. So for The Word Nerds, the Bold ‘N Agers and even the Eggheads, not to mention the other teams that bravely tried to spell words like loquacious and secateurs without being able to buy a vowel, like the Canucks and Leaf fans always say – hey, there’s always next year.

The numbers can’t be surprising but they are interesting nonetheless. According to a new poll from Insights West (sponsored by the non-profit Dogwood Initiative, based out of Victoria), B.C. voters overwhelmingly support a ban on corporate and union political donations. Dogwood Initiative is a citizen group calling on the province to “ban big money” in politics. The survey (you can find the full results online) showed that 86 per cent of British Columbians polled would favour bans on the corporate/union donations before the next election. The commonly held belief is that the bigger the war chest, the better the chance of winning—in almost any election. Is that democracy in action? The report also states that B.C. is the last province in Canada to allow unlimited donations from anywhere in the world, including in municipal elections. The survey shows this leaves members of the public more than a little cynical about the role of ordinary citizens. More than two-thirds of adults polled (68 per cent) believe citizens are not influential in shaping policy in this province. The most influential group is corporations (90 per cent). Ranked in order of influence were corporations, lobbyists, foreign investors, unions and then the citizens themselves. It seems a little backward, no? — Chilliwack Times

I gave the old response, "Maybe, who knows,” with a laugh. After all, my husband and I were trying for a baby but it had only been a month. When she told me it was positive, I was in shock. I was so happy and I didn’t have my husband Jonathan there to celebrate with. My doctor laughed at me as I stood up and sat down in my seat, unsure of what to do, and opened her arms for a hug. On the ride home, I stopped off at the store and bought a onesie, sized three months because after one look at my athletic hubby, I knew our baby would be big. Six weeks, later the doctors told me there was something wrong with my baby. There were developmental problems in the brain. They didn’t know how bad it was. A week later, they told me there was a problem with the heart too. My heart broke as they told me I would likely lose my baby, our little girl. They gave her a one per cent chance of being born alive, they were confident that I would miscarry. When that didn’t happen, they were confident I would have a stillbirth. When that didn’t happen, they were confident that she wouldn’t survive the birth. When I was in labour at the hospital, we turned the monitors off and prayed. Sarah lived. Jonathan and I spent seven glorious days with her. She was absolute perfection from her full head of hair, to her soft lips, to her long legs. We would have been twins. She was my double in
because I thought it would be good for young people and their sports, and for the future of Greater Vernon. But how wonderful it is, that people of all ages can enjoy using the oval to stay active. The retirement home in which I live (Orchard Valley) has a van to take us out for walking opportunities and I hope to make good use of Vernon’s newest, and best, facility. Jeanie Ryley every way. Except her eyes, she had her father’s eyes. She never got to wear the onesie I bought her. She never got to see the room that would have been hers. We got to take her outside once. We sat on the hospital bench with the sun streaming down and it was one of the happiest moments of my life. This will be my first Mother’s Day. I don’t know what I will do today. I know Jonathan will plan something, a gift from Sarah to me. I protected my little lady as best as I could. I fought for her. I argued with doctors and nurses and demanded the best treatment I could get. And I am privileged to live in Canada, a country where I have access to the best health care for free. The best gift I can give to honour my sweet Sarah this year is to help another mother protect her child. That is why I am donating to effect: Hope’s Protect a Child fund. It provides treatment and vitamin A supplements to kids and pregnant women in Kenya for hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm. Plus, all donations are matched three times by the government of Canada, so for every $1 I give, $4 goes to the fund. I hope you will join me in giving mothers in Kenya a truly happy Mother’s Day. From one mother to another, happy Mothers Day. Andrea Onley just saY no The proposed amphitheatre site is a slippery slope. I’m all about the arts, and welcome more of it in Vernon, but in this case, let’s think this through.
Here’s what we know. The gully is steep and already unstable due to the grade of the slope and the makeup of the shifting soil. The blasting and building on the site will significantly change the stability of the hill, create a drainage problem and certainly disrupt the neighbourhood and the animal habitat. Planting trees as a sound barrier will have little to no impact. Sound rebounds and rises, and it will be heard for a mile down and around the gully. Classical music and dance events rarely fill their venues in Vernon and the likelihood that the organizers will honour their proposal and stick to the quiet arts, dance, theatre and classical music is unlikely and unrealistic. To be profitable, they’ll bring in whoever will ring the cash register — likely rock concerts. They also hope to entice thousands of people to hop on the bus to attend those concerts; really? The majority will come from afar and come by car, to an area not prepared for the traffic, and with only limited on-site parking. So, where exactly will they park? I live in Vernon, but not anywhere near the college, and recognize from all I’ve read and heard, that the destruction of the gully and disruption to the quiet community around it is unnecessary. I vote against this site. Surely, there’s better locations to consider. Martha Moore CYCling dangerous With regard to the City of Vernon article April 22, I could hardly believe what I was reading regarding bike safety. Have they forgot people have been rid-
ing for two months now and the bike lanes are virtually non-existent. The set bike routes, like 39th Avenue, are filled with gravel and broken glass and potholes. How are the cars to know where their lane ends and the bike lane starts? Cycling around Vernon is abysmal without these problems. There is the sudden end of bike lanes, Where does one go? Into traffic or walk? I'm afraid to cycle in Vernon. Please do something before someone gets hurt. There are hundreds of cyclists obeying the rules that do cycle around Vernon. Audrey Sellars

Rural Enderby looks to future RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A vision for rural Enderby communities is moving ahead. The Regional District of North Okanagan board gave second reading Wednesday to the draft Area F official community plan. “We are preserving the (Shuswap) river and that comes out loud and clear in the plan,” said Herman Halvorson, rural Enderby director. The current OCP, adopted Halvorson in 2005, is being updated to incorporate changes to provincial legislation and the adoption of the regional growth strategy and the Kingfisher local area plan which occurred in recent years. Among the priorities in the OCP are development, infrastructure, services, social and
environmental issues for Grindrod, Grandview Bench, Mara, Ashton Creek, Kingfisher/Mabel Lake, Springbend and Twin Lakes. The draft plan includes input from outside agencies and that has fuelled some concern. “I’m interested that the Interior Health Authority is now in the planning business,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. “The community nutritionist is weighing in on all things. Will we see this in the future — them providing words of wisdom on how we do business?” However, RDNO staff insist input from IHA is evolving and most recently has included issues like tobacco reduction. “It’s not uncommon to get similar comments for applications we have done,” said Marnie Skobalski, planner. The draft OCP will now go to a public hearing before the board considers final adoption. “We encourage people to review it and provide comment,” said Skobalski.
MP opposes assisted dying rules Morning Star Staff
North OkanaganShuswap’s MP has opposed proposed medical assisted dying legislation. Conservative Mel Arnold says he had
no choice but to vote Wednesday against the Liberal bill because of constituent input and what he says is unclear wording about who is eligible for assistance. “Legislation of
this gravity must be precise in the conditions and safeguards it sets out leaving no room for ambiguity or misinterpretation,” he said. C-14 will now be
studied by the standing committee on justice before being sent back to the House of Commons with possible amendments which will be debated and voted on again. Arnold hopes there can be a thorough discussion. “We need to fully consider all the implications of what is being presented in the bill,” he said. On Tuesday, the government proposal was the subject of a meeting in Vernon. Alex Schadenberg, of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, spoke to 80 people at the Schubert Centre. Schadenberg says Bill C-14 fails to protect the vulnerable. “When signing a request for euthanasia, the bill requires that a medical or nurse practitioner to only: be satisfied that the request was signed and dated by the person, which is a pretty minimal standard,” states event organizers in a release. When the person is unable to sign the request, the bill allows anyone to sign the request. Section 4 states: anyone can sign the request so long as they are at least 18 years of age and who understands the nature of the request. That’s a frightening thought.”

BRYN ATHLETICS PHOTOS
Ryan Landels, left, and Nolan Frame of the Bryn Athyn College Lions near Philadelphia have topped the North Eastern Athletic Conference First Team all-conference voting done by the coaches.
Tiger grads all-stars KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Nolan Frame and Ryan Landels were recruited by the Bryn Athyn College Lions near Philadelphia to score big goals in field lacrosse. The Vernon Junior Tiger grads filled the net this season in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), earning First Team allconference honours. The NEAC made the announcement Thursday in Gansevoort, N.Y., naming 40 players to first, second and third teams by position, as selected by the conference coaches. Frame was named First Team all-conference at attack for finishing the season with 44 goals, which led the NEAC. He was third in the conference with 56 points, adding 12 assists to offensive dominance. He picked up 21 ground balls and caused six turnovers. Frame played with a heavy heart since his father, Tom, died suddenly Feb. 24 at age 58. “The Bryn Athyn Lions are my family, and I love every person on that team,” said Frame. “Two weeks before the season started I was called and told about my dad unexpectedly passing away. I was devastated because I just lost my hero and the person who got me to fall in
love with lacrosse. I didn’t know what to do, and that’s when my team picked me up and helped me through it. “I am forever grateful for my teammates as well as my coaches: Tucker Durkin, Johnny Mouradian, Reece Ayers, and Whit Bruemmer. I dedicated this season to my dad and everything I did this year was for him.” The Lions went 9-4 and became the first Bryn field lacrosse team to make the playoffs. “We had a fairly successful year and the team grew a lot as the season progressed,” said Landels. “Already looking forward to see what the team is capable of next year.” Landels will work as a wildfire fighter out of Hinton, Alta. this summer. “Looking forward to getting back to help with what has already turned into a terrible fire season,” he said. Nick Fetko and Robert Moran of the Lions were selected to the third all-star team. Said head coach Durkin: “It’s never easy to end a season when you don’t win your last game. With that being said, as a coach, I am proud of how our guys competed, dealt with adversity, and found a way to constantly get better every single day.”
Those new orange and black jerseys seem to suit Vernon Kal Tire just fine. The defending Kelowna Tree Brewing Men’s 35+ Soccer League champions donned their new kits and won their second game in a row Thursday night, 3-0 over Alves Bros of Kelowna. Former high school hoop star Mark Zaino collected a well-earned clean sheet at MacDonald Park. Jeff Nice called play 1516 twice for Vernon, one to start the scoring off his head from Mark Budgen. A few minutes later, Nice was the mailman, finding the head of Ryan Sharp to make it 2-0 at 20 minutes for the 2-0-2 Tiremen. Late in the first half, Alves forward Kyle Bilinski only had Zaino to beat but Zaino won the battle. In the second half, Jesse Knight worked his way around one defender and fired a hard shot off a defender’s back for the deflection in the net. Zaino, using his Westwood electric energy, cleared a few crosses with the confidence of a veteran. Dynamic defence was turned in by Dave Dobernigg, Graeme Magee, Sharp, Pedro Garro, Jason Beck and returning veteran Damian Adams. Meanwhile, Wolfgang Bopp pulled the hat trick as the Silver Stars smothered Kelowna Vintage 8-0 in Okanagan 55+ league play at MacDonald Park. Mark Wasylyk supplied a deuce, while singles came from Uwe Wolters, Colin Greveling and Steve McCourt. The Stars are 3-0-1. West Kelowna schooled Vernon Kal Tire 5-1 at Rosewood Park. Roadrunner Chris Butlin scored twice, while speedy Tony Gonzalez, Darryl Hazel and Mark Rothery contributed singles for West Kelowna, looking a lot like their entry known as Brown Benefits in the 45+ league. Central midfielder Donnie Brown went around Tiremen defenders like they were Hudson Bay mannequins most of the night, earning the Capri Hotel Man of the Match for West Kelowna. Glen Jones unleashed a left-foot-

ed corker low to the corner for the Tiremen, levelling things at 1-1 just before the half. Central midfielder Jim Sparrow drew the assist. Outside midfielder Bob Fleming ran at least half a 10-k race and took the Okanagan Landing Plaza Man of the Match for Kal Tire (2-1-1). n Sir Winston’s Attack claimed a 3-2 victory over Collaborate Wellness in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field. Red Robin Player of the Match for the Attack went to Tricia Therrien, who despite playing with two fractured ribs, toughed it out for a beauty of a goal. Striker Brandi Wejr’s tenacity paid off when after yet another drive for net, she buried it with authority. Brianna Thalheimer, always the stalwart sweeper for Sir Winston’s, recorded a beautiful goal of her own from well outside the 18. Keeper Celine Conly dove her way to a shutout in the first half, while Azra Cawley made some lovely saves in the second. Collaborate’s La Senza Lady of the Match went to Waverly Vanderveen, who played an aggressive first half in net and showed an upbeat attitude in the final 40. Rookie phenom Megan McCreight and feisty central midfielder Amanda Penner both connected from in tight for Collaborate. The Wellness ladies sorely missed Annie Brunelle, who pulled a muscle in the first 10 minutes but stayed to lend vocal support. The Rockstars finally played a full game and brushed back Do-itt Drywall Mudsharks 4-1. The Rockstars had a bye last week and a match called by lightning the week before. Sherah Grant, Leah Willinger, Leah Hildebrandt and Tessa Hartnell counted snipes for the Rockstars. Ashley Smith and Liane Leger shared net duties and sparkled. The back line was held sweetly by Sylvie Richard and Lindsay Smith, making for nice transitions. Bryanna Cole levelled the score at 1-1 with a corker top cheddar.

Having a club member compete at the Canadian Olympic swimming trials highlighted a busy April for the Vernon Kokanee Swim Club. Meredith Levorson attended the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Trials in Toronto and came home with best times in the 100-metre backstroke and the 100-freestyle, where Levorson broke Kevyn Peterson’s 10-year-old club record. “It was a very good experience racing Canada’s top swimmers at Canada’s top swim meet and will be helpful in future national level events,” said Kokanee head coach Steven Vander Meulen of Levorson’s results. The Kokanee sent 35 swimmers to Calgary for a team trip to the Calgary Patriots’ 41st Annual Chinook Invitational. One of the highlights of the meet was the 50-free eliminator race where Levorson and Kelsey Fillion swam into the top-four final for girls. Levorson came away with the fastest swim in 26.90 seconds, breaking her club record from last year, and Fillion finished fourth with a new best time and new club record in 27.82. Sophie Lepage had a good 50-free and made her first AAA provincial time in 29.85. Thomas Mardiros solidified his AA provincial times by making all new AA times in three breastroke events in the long-course pool. Ryan Murphy posted new AAA
times long course in two backstroke events. Ellie Williamson made a AA provincial time in 50-free. Matthew Winn placed first in the 100- and 200-butterfly and 200-free. Angela Zeng made a new AA Provincial time in 50-breast in 47.57. “The travel swim meet was an overall very successful event and swimmers came away with a good team trip experience,” said Vander Meulen. While the majority of Kokanee were in Calgary, a small group of new swimmers were at another long course event in Kamloops. Five swimmers represented the VKSC and had a great experience racing long course for the first time. Kate Mallow had a very successful meet by making her first ever regional qualifying time in the 200 individual medley in 3:54.67. Nathan Campbell, Evelyn Gow, Tyler Kersey and Danika Zaino all managed to place in all of their races within the top three spots. “The club is doing really well overall as we have swimmers experiencing either their first-ever swim meets at a long course pool or their first ever senior national event at Canada’s most competitive swim meet,” said Vander Meulen. “Our club is well-rounded from the first level of swimmer to the national level and shows a consistent commitment to all-around development.”
After a month of action, the White House Mortgage Gators finally found their sticks Wednesday night at Kin Park. The result was a 21-15 Vernon Women’s SloPitch League win over the previously undefeated Ice Cold Pitches. It was a great offensive showing by the 1-2-1 Gators, who chipped away and scored in every inning. Tiffany Disher was in a zone, going 3-for-3 with a grand slam home run and six RBI. Nancy Lafreniere also found her hitting groove and batted 3-for-3 and drove in four runs. Melissa Locke and Tanya Saddleman Joe each supplied three hits and one RBI for the Gators, while Iva Wiens was 2-for-2 with one ribbie. Newbie Alicia Melnick entered the game cold in the middle innings and smacked a tworun dinger. Denise Farmer earned the win. In other play, Tenacity grounded the Competition Exteriors Dynamite 16-9. Karen Christian was 3-for-3 with three ribbies for the 0-3-1 Nitros. Jen Ternier also went 3-for3, while Rae Cohen and Sandi Demers each provided two hits in three plate appearances. Tenacity improved to 3-1 for a share of first place with the Ice Cold Pitches. Meanwhile, Predator Trucking rolled over the Chupacabras 17-3 in Vernon Mixed League play Tuesday night/ Calendar girl Leah Riley played incredible defence at second base registering eight outs for the Truckers. Jared Sochan went 4-for-5 with five RBI, while Matt Slater was 4-for-5 with three ribbies and Darryl Sharp had four hits in five at bats, diving in three runs. Kevin Smoliak pitched a great game despite not being able to hit or throw to first base.
Warriors chase national berth Black Press Sports
The West Kelowna Warriors were one Saturday win away from a spot in the RBC Cup Junior A national hockey championship. The Warriors clinched second place in the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup Thursday in Estevan, Sask., with a 4-1 victory over the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Melfort Mustangs. The Warriors faced the Brooks Bandits on Saturday for the WCC title and the first of two RBC berths. Vernon’s Logan Mick is with Brooks. Brett Mennear scored a goal and added two assists as the Warriors closed out the round robin of the five-team tournament with a 3-1 record. Jonathan Desbiens and Brina Basilico also scored for the Warriors who outplayed and outshot the Mustangs 43-21. Keelan Williams stopped 20 shots for his second win of the tournament. The win qualified the Warriors for the 1-2 playoff game Saturday against the Alberta league’s Bandits. The winner will advance to the RBC Cup next week in Lloydminster, while the loser will get a second chance today. The 3-4 game on Saturday will feature Melfort and the Portage Terriers, with the winner to advance to Sunday’s finale while the loser is out.

Richter shooters marked Morning Star Staff
They lived in Merritt but Joe and Helen Richter always supported events at the North Okanagan Trap and Skeet Club in Spallumcheen. This year, at the club’s annual Honours Tournament, which recognizes contributions over the years to the club, Vernon’s Art Salt donated a new trophy to honour the Richters, who both died in 2015. “Although they were not actually club members, Joe and Helen always supported all of our shoots, would donate countless hours to help and donated many items to our raffle tables and auction,” said Lisa Salt, event spokesperson. Gord Fowler of the host club won the Joe and Helen Richter Singles, featuring 33 entries, hitting 98 out of 100 targets. Other class winners in the event from the North Okanagan were Bob Coleman (Vet, 96); Barry Dremel (Senior Vet, 96); Mike Noer (Senior Vet Carry-Over, 96); and Don Reynolds (Elder, 92). Tom Ginn of the host club won the Long Yard competition in the
John Genier Handicap, featuring 31 entries. Ginn hit 93 out of 100 targets. Bruce Davies won the Short Yard with 91. Lisa Salt was the perpetual and A Class winner in the Rod Macindoe Doubles, featuring 29 entries, hitting 94/100. Davies won the B Class (92), and Ron Miller won the C Class (89). In the Henry Rottacker Singles, which featured 33 entries, Lindsay Blackburn took the A Class with 97/100, and Ginn won the B Class missing only two targets for 98. Bob Coleman won the High Vet (95), Noer took the High Senior Vet (97) and Art Turcotte won High Elder (94). Ginn won Long Yard in the Hank Dedish Handicap, which had 35 entries.

“Grow old along with me. “The best is yet to be. “The last of life for which the first was made.” — Browning Frances and Ray Johnson celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary May 12. The Johnsons joke of meeting in green tomatoes in Safeway’s warehouse division in Regina, but it’s true; Frances was sorting fruit and Ray was repairing floors. Notes and numbers led to marriage one year later, and daughter Patricia arrived three days after their first anniversary, Katherine 18 months later. They lost their third daughter, Kelly Ann, to heart defects at birth. Two years

buried their dead, and carried on. Both cancer survivors, they are doing fine. They are drinking from their saucer as their cup has overflowed.
Frances and Ray are wished a very happy anniversary, with love from their three chil-

A popular stop for visitors and residents in Battle, England is the Ye Old Kings Head Pub. came up with a brilliant idea. The earlier about-turn attack by the Normans had ended in near disaster for the Saxons. What if the entire Norman army on the flats at the bottom of the hill feigned retreat? The Saxons would, no doubt, pursue them, and once lured on to a “level playing field” (so to speak) the Normans could then do an about-face — and fight to the death. It worked. King Harold, pierced in the eye by a stray arrow, lay dead, after which Saxon morale collapsed, and William of Normandy became king of England. He was the last invader to occupy Britain. Today Battle, the actual site of the conflict, is a small hamlet, about 10 miles north of the better known
town of Hastings. In celebration of his victory or — depending on who you talk to — in atonement for the thousands of soldiers slain on the battlefield on that fateful day in October 1066, William the Conqueror built nearby Battle Abbey. Henry VIII, who had scant patience with the abbey’s significance, all but destroyed it in his drive to eradicate Catholicism in England in the 16th century. With the dissolution of monasteries, the abbey church was reduced to skeletal walls and I pause to read a slab at the site of the original high altar which marked the actual spot where the Saxon King was slain. The ancient cloisters and dorters in the Abbey grounds, where the monks once had their living quarters,
still has an aura which makes for hushed conversation. Battle’s market square outside the Abbey grounds is busy and I decide to “slake my thirst” at a medieval pub, Ye Old King’s Head, whose signpost has an artist’s impression of an impressively moustachioed King Harold. Over a shandy and a ‘ploughman’s lunch’ plate a group of locals strike up a conversation with me. They are regretful that I’ve missed the big event of the year — the twoweek Battle Festival, held at the end of May or in early June. “It’s a grand time
to visit.” One of them says. “People dress up in medieval costumes. There are jugglers and street musicians and everyone has a jolly time.” Another one adds, “And you can listen to concerts, come to poetry readings and watch plays.” Back on the street the weather has turned capricious. A steelgrey sky and thin drizzle sends me sprinting to my car. As I drive away a roll of thunder unfurls like distant gunfire. Perhaps the ghosts of Battle are at it again. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

BRITAIN - What could be more typically British than ‘a cuppa tea’? And, almost 1,000 years ago a break for tea (in a manner of speaking!) changed the course of English history. Or so a charming little tale goes. I’m standing on a knoll in Sussex, England. It is a glorious August morning with a light breeze playing through the trees. Before me lies a tranquil Constable landscape: a field cross-stitched by hedgerows, which merges into distant woodland. Scroll back to Oct. 14 1066. The field in front of me was in turmoil. Norman archers spewed arrows, Saxon battle-axes flashed murderously and the thunder of cavalry hammered against the consciousness of the wounded and dying. William of Normandy was getting the worst of it. The Saxons had the advantage of being positioned on the hill while the Normans on the field below were being steadily pushed back. It was mid-afternoon, and a group of Saxons attacked a flank position, chasing the fleeing Normans. In desperation, a small group of Norman soldiers unexpectedly turned around to defend themselves. The Saxons, unable to run uphill fast enough to get back to their own lines, were slaughtered en route. As the day wore on, both sides were exhausted. It was a civilized thing in those days, to pause to take stock and possibly nibble on some refreshments. Tea time brought about a mutual lull in hostilities — or so the story goes. That’s when William of Normandy

Golfers get a rise out of Freddy’s Morning Star Staff
The Rise golf club’s transformation has reached into the great outdoors. Freddy’s is a patio where guests can dine and enjoy the views of Okanagan Lake from the 10th tee. “We’re excited about the new dining for sure,” said Ian Renton, general manager. “And we know our guests will love the great casual fare with this magnificent view. But more than that, we’re really considering this new eatery as the beginning of our larger architectural vision. Its unique design speaks to our commitment to the future, and how we continue to look ahead and invest in the whole experience at the Rise.” Designed and constructed by DIRTT, the patio restaurant is the first of its kind and is setting a new national standard in architecture and smart design, says Renton. “The chopstick vertical beams were inspired by Greek construction,” he said. “The bottom of the beams support the roof while their tops have been engineered to support wind load.” Chad Scott, director of golf and head professional, says Freddy’s is the perfect place to be after a game. “The 2,000-square-foot roof shades from the heat and rain for all-season dining,” he said. “Our menu is cafe style. We’ve got burgers, hot dogs, and casual treats, plus the beer is local from Okanagan Springs Brewing. With great food and a stunning view, you won’t want to leave.” The Rise Golf is 1,000 feet above Okanagan Lake and it’s known for the Fred Couples signature course.

Insurance company gets top recognition as an employer Morning Star Staff
Capri Insurance is being recognized as one of this year’s Best Workplaces in Canada. Capri Insurance, which has been in operation for more than 40 years, has 300 employees, including in the North Okanagan. “Our people are what make this a great place to work,” said Tim Miller, president. “Team members genuinely care about the well being of our clients and they’re empowered to make decisions and do what’s right. Being recognized as a best workplace in Canada only confirms what we’ve always known, that we have a fantastic team here at Capri.” Capri Insurance’s commitment to employee

engagement includes program’s like employee ownership, wellness and community involvement. This list of Best Workplaces in Canada is compiled by Great Place to Work Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 58-statement
survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide data relative to the five trustbuilding dimensions of a great place to work: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. This year’s list received more than 300 nominations and more than 60,000 employees participated in the 2016 Best Workplaces in Canada survey.

Valley cider proves popular KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Flats of Broken Ladder cider are being snapped up faster than can be produced, creating the most delicious dilemma local agriculturalists have seen in some time. “We are constantly hearing, ‘I’m out,’” said Shannon Forgues, B.C. Tree Fruit’s Cidery Co. promotions manager. “Right when the first palates come off the line, I’m there shipping them out to wherever they need to be. And when we think we have enough we run into the same dilemma again.” With each palate of cider being gulped up, the need for more local fruit arises and that’s where
local co-op members see rewards. “For the first time in a long time we’re able to use the apples that didn’t necessarily have a lot of value before,” said Forgues “Now we have a home for them, and it’s a home that’s generating revenue.” The company created two new ciders for release this spring: Pears and Apples & Hops. “It was another labor-intensive recipe process,” says Michael Daley, cidery manager. “The results are two new varieties of cider, Pears and the distinct taste of Apples & Hops. These, in addition to Apples will be available in B.C. Liquor stores and private retail stores mid-April.”
Minimum wage increase tolerated Morning Star Staff
The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce isn’t coming out against minimum wage hikes. The provincial government will increase minimum wage by 40 cents to $10.85 per hour on Sept. 15 and it will climb a further 30 cents in September 2017. “There is definitely some concern about the potential Dan Rogers impact following the government’s announcement,” said Dan Rogers, Greater Vernon chamber general
manager. “That concern is tempered though by the fact the province will reduce the small business tax rate to 1.5 per cent in 2017. The announced new training and youth employment program will also soften the blow to many of our small business members.” Rogers said the chamber will continue to monitor what happens in the future and voice objection to more substantial increases to the minimum wage. “They have the greatest impact on very small, family-owned businesses many of whom are members of the chamber.”
The Bargain Bin; The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #35. City of Armstrong Volunteer of the Year: Tayana Simpson; Jean Miskiman; Susan Wilson. “These awards are an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the dynamic and diverse group of people who make an important contribution to the quality of life Armstrong and Spallumcheen,” said Patti Noonan, chamber executive director. “We are very pleased with the record number of overall entries this year, as well as the variety of businesses and the thought put into many of the submissions.” In addition to a trophy designed by Final Touch, each winner will receive a gift basket sponsored by Edge of the Earth Vineyard, Bella Stella Cheese, Terroir Cheese and the
Village Cheese Co. Door for the event open at 6 p.m. before the show begins at 7 p.m. featuring emcees Sean Newton and Phil Hughes. A limited number of tickets for the gala are $25 per person available by calling 546-8155 or showing up in per-

We are studying Jacoby Two No-trump in answer to a majorsuit opening bid. The opener makes one of three rebids. Ideally, he jumps in a strong side five-card suit (one headed by at least two of the top three honors); next, he mentions a singleton or void at the threelevel; last, but not least, he says how many high-card points he holds. If he jumps to game in the major, it announces a minimum, 12-14 points. With
some extras, a good 14 to a poor 17, he rebids three notrump. And with a maximum that cannot immediately employ Blackwood, he bids three of the agreed suit -- as in today’s deal. Then, after North control-bids four hearts (showing the heart ace and denying a minor-suit ace), South uses Blackwood to reach six spades. South seems to have two unavoidable losers: one spade and one diamond. But he might get lucky in two ways. He wins with dummy’s club queen and calls for the spade jack. Maybe East will cover from queen- or king-doubleton. He shouldn’t, but it cannot hurt to try. Assuming East plays low
under the spade jack, declarer wins with his ace, then cashes the heart, club and diamond winners. Finally, he exits with a trump. Here, West takes the trick and must lead a heart or a club, which South ruffs in the dummy while he sluffs the last diamond from his hand. It is called a partial elimination.

Gravel pit draws concern Morning Star Staff
A quarry quandary has the Township of Spallumcheen reviewing its bylaws. The township and its council continue to receive letters of complaint about a quarry operation that began two years ago in the 5100 block of Back Enderby Road. Neighbours believe the quarry is violating the existing bylaw’s language, which covers resource use on large holding properties. Residents say in their letters the quarry’s operations have negatively impacted their lives, and many have issued complaints of inappropriate noise and dust to both the township and the provincial ministry of energy and mines. This has resulted, said retired engineer
“We do have a lot of quarries...”
— Janice Brown Frank Hassard – who lives on Back Enderby Road – in owner/ o p e r a t o r- a c c o m p a nied site-visits by Spallumcheen’s bylaw enforcement officer, a mining engineer hired by the township, administrative time by Spallumcheen employees and lawyers for both sides contacting one another in an attempt to resolve the interpretation of the bylaw. “Although the administration branch of Spallumcheen has looked into various ways to stop the perceived non-compliance with the bylaw, the activity will appar-
ently continue,” said Hassard. “As will the complaints of noncompliance and the required subsequent investigations until the issue is appropriately and finally resolved.” Mayor Janice Brown knows neighbours of the quarry operation are frustrated but said “what people have to realize is we can make rules, but we can’t make people abide by the rules.” “We don’t have the staff to go out each day and monitor them,” said Brown. Council has referred the matter to township staff to put on their to-do list and review
the bylaw, its language and the zoning. “We do have a lot of quarries in Spallumcheen,” said Brown.“I could see getting the quarries together and review the zoning bylaw because they will have to be consulted.” The bylaw was one of a number in the township created in the mid-1980s.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND FALL OF MAN IN WILMSLOW
From the author of the #1 bestseller The Girl in the Spider’s Web, an electrifying thriller that begins with Alan Turing’s suicide and then opens out to take in a young detective’s awakening to painful secrets about his own life — and the life of his country. It’s 1954. Several English nationals have defected to the USSR. In these circumstances, no one is surprised when a mathematician by the name of Alan Turing is found dead in his home: it is widely assumed that he committed suicide. But young Detective Sergeant Leonard Corell, who had always dreamt of a career in higher mathematics, suspects greater forces are involved. In the face of opposition from his superiors, he begins to assemble the pieces of a puzzle that lead him to one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war: the Bletchley Park operation to crack the Nazis’ Enigma code. But he is also about to be rocked by two startling developments in his own life, one of which will find him being pursued as a threat to national security.

We believe that every person should have easy access to opportunities to build a better life for themselves – no matter their income, their gender, their nationality, or where they live; bc211 is a great resource to let people know they aren’t alone.” Individuals and families looking for assistance often do not know where to turn, so bc211 will connect people to information about: n Basic human needs such as housing, food banks, shelters, clothing depots; n Services for children, youth and families such as childcare; n Mental health and addiction services; n Assistance for people with disabilities, seniors and newcomers to Canada; n Employment support. Bc211 is a source British Columbians can trust when seeking information and services to deal with life’s challenges. Bc211 connects people to a real person, a specialist who can give support when appropriate, and provide the individual with options to build a road map on how to get help.

Divine Savior, when Herod sought to murder you, your life was saved by the efforts of Mary and Joseph, who fled with you to safety in a foreign land. May all mothers and fathers look upon their unborn children with the same love and concern. I pray, O Lord, for all the unborn children, that they may know you and enjoy the blessings of eternal life in your kingdom. I pray even more that you will touch the hearts of all those who are tempted to harm the life of the unborn child, and fill them with the special love you have for innocent humanity. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend the souls of those children whose lives have ended before birth. May all who have sought the destruction of the life of an unborn child experience the grace of repentence and turn to you with contrite heart. Amen

Astronomy celebrated Morning Star Staff
Discover what gets so many amateur and professional astronomers all excited. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s Okanagan branch will celebrate International Astronomy Day Saturday. “The family fun begins at 11 a.m. when the Okanagan Science Centre opens with guided tours of the astronomy area of the centre, including a new exhibit of award-winning astrophotography from several Okanagan astrophotographers,” said Jim Kanester, with the RASC. “In addition, several Vernon members will provide safe solar observing through several telescopes at the floral clock from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., two hands-on projects for children ages five to 12 starting at 1 p.m. and a planetarium show at 3 p.m.” In the evening, there are two adult-oriented presentations at 7:30 p.m. The first will show the most recent astrophotography from local members and the second deals with the effects of light pollution. The evening presentations are by donation, with proceeds going to the Okanagan Science Centre.

Tana PeTersen Special to The Morning Star
In 1971, before terms like “organic” and “GMO” became commonplace, a handful of people in Vernon took a good look at the huge amount of human-created waste and its impact on our landfill. They could have sighed and shrugged their shoulders. Instead, by putting hours of personal time into completing a study, raising public awareness and then voluntarily manning the operation, they created not only the first recycling centre in Vernon, but one of the first in all of B.C. It was this kind of grass-roots awareness and action more than 45 years ago that has grown into what is now SENS: Sustainable Environmental Network Society. Today, SENS’ purpose is to advocate for positive solutions to local and global environmental concerns and to provide a healthier, sustainable future for the community. With a combination of education and interaction, this non-profit group has given Vernon a variety of things we may have taken for granted. Incineration of our garbage, a highly toxic method of waste reduction, was removed from the Solid Waste Management Program. The annual leaf and garden-waste pick-up and a community garden allotment program (thank-you, Lena!) were both initiated by SENS. Acting as an umbrella group, they have assisted numerous other groups with developing environmentally focused projects over the years. They’ve received funding in government grants for many other programs, including Changing Lanes (alternative transportation); a climate-change awareness and greenhouse reduction project; and the Growing Hope & Skills Program (for unemployed youth). Education has always been the key. And one visually concrete example of what SENS has accomplished was seen at the Okanagan Science Centre in years past where they helped install hands-on displays and games so children and their parents can learn about alternative energies (solar, wind, micro-hydro). Ongoing issues, such as the health effects of chemical spraying, are addressed with films, speakers and discussion groups, and by presenting these issues to the city. Most recently they have been part of providing a film festival and discussion group held at the library on environmental issues, including food awareness and all its complications today. It’s our air, it’s our water. If we could choose to provide for a safer and healthier life for ourselves and our families, then wouldn’t we? It only makes SENSe.

Feldenkrais is a guide to greater ease Contributed There are more people living 55 plus than ever before and an increasing number of them are turning to a remarkable learning method that uses movement to help them create greater ease and wellbeing. The originator, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, was a physicist who had struggled with bad knees and wanted to find an easier and better way to move while reducing pain. “Moshe decided to apply his training in mechanical engineering to teach himself how to get up and down out of a chair without stressing his knees, hips or back,” said Brent Kisilevich, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner. What he discovered was a guide to better action. It became known as the Feldenkrais Method and now people in
classes all over the world are learning, regardless of their age or ability, how to move better and feel better. The remarkable thing about Feldenkrais’ work was his understanding of awareness and the unique way he used movement to achieve it. The classes, aptly named Awareness Through Movement lessons or ATM’s, are verbally led by a certified practitioner. “No one is up in front of the class showing you the way to move,” said Kisilevich, “in this way each ATM challenges you to face your own selflimiting habits for knowing, thinking, sensing and feeling.” Participants are invited to direct their attention to different parts of themselves while engaging in slow gentle movement sequences. The focus is on reducing effort and finding greater ease. There is no
stretching or straining involved. “It may seem hard to believe that if you focus on the quality of how you move, then you improve the quality of your life, but it’s true,” said Kisilevich. Strain, stiffness and reduced mobility do not have to be the inevitable experience of aging,” he said. “Dr. Feldenkrais created a way for us to discover that we are, in fact, significantly more able-bodied than we may have ever thought before.” The lessons are empowering, fun to do, and really invite you to discover new possibilities for action. Being active has just never felt better. New classes begin May 17 at 12:30 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre and May 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lakers Clubhouse. Contact the Vernon Recreation Centre at 250-545-6035 to register.

Poppies pop up at Vernon Secondary School and alumna artist receive $50k grant for public art project to commemorate World Wars Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A public art project at Vernon Secondary School has received a major infusion of cash from the federal government. The school, in collaboration with its resident artist and alumna Amanda Shatzko, received a Amanda Shatzko grant of $48,150 from Heritage Canada’s World War Commemorations Community Fund towards the creation of large poppy public art sculptures. “It’s quite unusual in this day and age with the cuts to the arts and grants to receive this kind of money,” said Shatzko, an internationally renowned artist known for her aerial painting performances. Shatzko, who also created a mural for the school last year, has been working with VSS fine art teachers Randy Kaneda and Elizabeth Allardice on the poppy project for more than a year.

One of the poppies from the public art project, which received close to $50,000 from Heritage Canada to commemorate the sacrifices of war, will be unveiled at Vernon Secondary School Thursday. “It is, of course, a remembrance for our students of Canadians who have made sacrifices at war. However, it will also be a reminder of what great things can be done when we collaborate both across curriculums and with professionals in
the community for school projects,” said VSS principal Malcolm Reid. The poppies project not only involved the school’s fine arts department, but also VSS’ social studies, media arts and Aboriginal departments.
“The project is a beautiful example of the type of learning that needs to happen more in schools as we move forward in the 21st century,” said Reid. Five poppies, which measure about four feet in diameter and one-and-a-half feet tall, have been created, with two poppies installed so far. They can now be viewed on the school grounds at 21st Avenue, said Shatzko. “They are made of solid concrete. They each weigh 750 pounds. We had to use a winch and crane to pull them out of the mold and used the VSS football team to carry them to their location,” she said. “The poppies have images on them, inclusive of all cultures and nationalities that reside in Greater Vernon who have fought for our freedom. This is our way of showing respect and acknowledging that through artwork that is on display 24/7.” In addition to the fine arts department, VSS woodshop students constructed the wood containers where the rubber for the molds was poured into. “The media arts students are making a documentary on the project, which will be available online at the end of the month,” said Shatzko. “Principal Malcolm Reid has been very supportive in just letting us lead the way.” The public is invited to attend a ceremony for the newly installed artwork, Thursday at 12:45 p.m. at Vernon Secondary (located at 2100 15th St.)
Vernon’s //AMISTAD// talks peace with its hometown Morning Star Staff
As ‘80s rock-new wave band The Fixx once sang, “one thing leads to another.” That’s the case with Vernon’s alt. rock band //AMISTAD//. The band, which released its new EP, Talk Peace To A Wolf, Tuesday, found out it didn’t make the top 25 in the CBC Music Searchlight contest. Despite immense local support and votes for the band’s song Radikal, the first single off the new album, //AMISTAD// didn’t get past the top 10 of the regional finals (for the Interior, B.C. North) in the nationwide contest. However, with that news came something good, as the band has just found out it has been awarded with a Telus Storyhive grant towards the creation of a new music video. “I was blown away that we got the grant at all,” said the band’s bassist Nolan Bassett. “I was at school taking a chemistry test. I was overwhelmed by everyone texting me to tell me we got the $10,000. I can’t wait to share this project with everyone.”

//AMISTAD// members Craig Masterson, Eli Garlick, Nolan Bassett, Aidan Andrews, and Carson Bassett have just won a grant from Telus’ Storyhive project to produce a music video off the band’s new album, Talk Peace to a Wolf. A community-powered funding program for emerging content creators in B.C. and Alberta, Storyhive chose 17 artists as part of its Small Town Music Video 2016 initiative. Winners each receive a
$10,000 grant for the creation of a music video, which will be published for phase two community voting and showcased on Telus Optik TV On Demand and online. Produced and directed by the
band’s manager Joe Pinheiro, // AMISTAD’s// video will feature the second single, Human, off Talk Peace to a Wolf. To be filmed at a live show this month, the video will pay homage to the band’s hometown
and will feature local youth. “Human has a lot of references to where we’re from and what it’s like to grow up as a band here in Vernon,” said lead singer Aidan Andrews. “We knew instantly that we wanted it to be the next single and we had to bring those local/hometown references to life in the video. That’s why I loved Joe’s script for Human, it clicked instantly and just made sense. “Now with the Storyhive grant, we feel even more confident that we can make the best video yet.” //AMISTAD// has already begun casting for the five nine year olds who will be portraying the band in the video. //AMISTAD// launches its new album with a show at Paddlewheel Park Hall May 27. Joining //AMISTAD// will be former Storyhive winner Windmills (Cory Myraas), also of Vernon. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10, available at Ratio Coffee, Record City, and from band members. More details are available at amistadband.com.

I fully admit if we hadn’t gone to a new look it may have never happened. And it’s not like the previous one’s not from this millennium or anything. OK, that does sound pathetic. What you see is what you get, although it should be pointed out that I’m not so

A fellow hockey parent, who shall remain nameless but his first name starts with D and ends with AVE, about five years ago started bugging me about maybe updating my mug shot one of these days. Well, Dave, er whatever your name is, that day has finally come.

It’s true I look much older, not to mention it’s a more accurate reflection of present reality, but I also look a little wiser and maybe even deserving of a little more respect (not the help across the street kind but the this guy may know a thing or two kind). Plus I now get discounts at some of my favourite fast-food restaurants, without even asking. Who knows, I might even get recognized the odd time now?

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Sometime when things become so prevalent in our society, we forget they do have the potential for problems. NSAIDs is a class of pain-relieving medication that is highly advertised on the media and includes drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. They are available without prescription but they can raise the risk of heart attack in people with existing heart disease. If you do need pain relief, try acetaminophen and if you do use NSAIDs, use the lowest dose possible. Inhaled insulin is quite an attractive idea to diabetics who have to inject insulin daily. One version came on the market in the US in June 2014 but the company pulled it from the market in January 2016. It never made it to Canada. Lowering your blood pressure is one of the best ways of reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, many people don’t even know they have high blood pressure. If you might be one of these, have your blood pressure checked soon. High blood pressure is easily treated and it could save your life. What’s in your toothpaste? It is still a good idea to use a toothpaste containing fluoride. It is proven to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. People worried about toxicity of fluoride ( it is toxic in large doses), don’t have to worry about the minuscule amount in toothpaste. If you have an understanding of how medications work in your body, you will make a greater effort to take your medication as the doctor ordered. We can help.

Local writers Natalie Appleton and Kerry Gilbert are offering a storywriting workshop for young female writers ages 15 to 17 at the Caetani Cultural Centre.
Workshop helps girls find their voice
Submitted to The Morning Star
What if girls felt free to write? What if other women writers gave them the tools, inspiration and mentoring they needed to help them discover their voice, express themselves, and become writers? Those are the questions Natalie Appleton and Kerry Gilbert asked one day as they were discussing a 15-year-old girl whose friends had left her behind and high school was being unkind. The thing that got her up most days was the thought that she could write another story. “We remembered what it was for us to discover writing as teenagers; how we would have loved more than anything
to come to a place where that interest could have been nurtured,” said Appleton. And that’s how Storymakers for Girls was born. “One of the best things new writers can learn is how important building a community of like-minded writers can be to their process. It’s great to know that you are not alone in your love for story,” said Gilbert. Through creative writing workshops and community– both in person and online– Storymakers for Girls helps young women writers find their voice and confidence in whatever genre interests them. Appleton has a master’s in creative writing from City University London (U.K.).
Her writing has appeared in publications around the world, including The New York Times. Gilbert just released her second book of prose poems, Tight Wire (Mother Tongue Publishing), and teaches literature and creative writing at Okanagan College. Their debut five-week workshop, designed to nurture and inspire young women writers aged 15 to 17 years old, runs Tuesdays from 3:45 to 5:15 p.m., starting May 24 and ending June 21. The workshop will be hosted at the Caetani Cultural Centre’s Port studio. To register or for more information, visit www.thestorymakers.ca.
Uncovering written gems
I
t is like finding flecks of gold in a handful of sand. The selection of the books previewed in this column occurred by happenstance – a direct result of paring down a thick file folder and finding a few pages of forgotten notes. The Toilers of the Sea (1866) by Victor Hugo is perhaps one of the least known works of the great French author and rarely read today despite selling briskly when first published. But the splendid novel, intended by the great French author to be part of a triptych with Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, is simply unforgettable. The 2012 translation by Scot James Hogarth is the first unabridged English edition of the novel and it tells Peter Critchley the tale of an illiterate fisherman from the Channel Islands who must free a ship that ran aground in order to win the hand of the woman he loves, a ship owner’s daughter. Gilliat, the embattled fisherman, must battle violent sea storms and monstrous predators, described in searing detail by the author, and draw on his ingenuity, resilience and discipline to hope for any kind of success. Battle Cry Freedom (1988) by James McPherson is essential reading for anyone interested in the second American revolution we know as the American Civil War, an epic war that transformed America and continues to reverberate to this day. This is a historical work of the highest order – it won the Pulitzer Prize among other awards – and is without question the definitive one-volume history of the Civil War.
Book Talk
The author’s brisk narrative fully integrates the political, social and military events of the two decades from the outbreak of one war in Mexico to the ending of another at the Appomattox Court House. It vividly recounts the momentous developments that preceded the Civil War, including the Dred Scott Decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates and John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry, and masterfully chronicles the war itself, with immediacy, scholarly acumen and deep analytical insight. Cutting for Stone (2009) by Abraham Verghese is an epic saga of a man on a mythic quest to find his father. It is a magnificent, sweeping tale that begins with the dramatic birth of twins slightly joined at the skull, with their severing by the surgeon as their mother lies dying on the operating table. The father, horrified by the ordeal, vanishes and the now separated boys are raised by two Indian doctors living on the grounds of a mission hospital in early 1950s Ethiopia. The boys, Marion, the more studious, and Shiva, a moody genius and loner, are drawn to study medicine. Genet, the beautiful and mysterious daughter of one of the maids, also lives on the hospital grounds and tears the two brothers apart. Marion, fresh out of medical, is forced to flee his homeland for political reasons and begins his medical residency at a poor hospital in New York City. But when his past catches up to him, Marion must entrust his life to the two men he thought he trusted the least in the world—the surgeon father who abandoned him and the brother who betrayed him. These three titles are all available at your Okanagan Regional Library branch, orl.bc.ca.

With love, memories, laughter and tears we announce the passing of Jeep Ropchan on March 31st, 2016 from heart failure while at home in Langley. Jeep was born on April 9th 1950 in Vegreville, Alberta and grew up in Estavan, Saskatchewan followed by Vernon. As part of the final VSS in the Park ‘Class of 68’, Jeep enjoyed his time growing up in Vernon and the friendships he cultivated here. In 1988, Jeep moved to Surrey, BC where he worked as a Realtor and member of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. With a passion for vintage cars, Jeep enjoyed restoring his 1963 Chevy Impala and spent many a night and weekend at local car rallies. He was an amazing friend to many and liked making those around him smile and laugh while creating cherished memories. Jeep was laid to rest among family in Boian, Alberta. A celebration of Jeep’s life will be held at a later date.
FULBROOK, Eveline “Sadie” (nee: Doebert)
ssss
Born on February 14, 1964, he was a true Valentine. Even with all of his mental and physical challenges, he always managed to touch the heart of those he met. He loved to sing at the top of his lungs and do his funky dancing whenever he could. Minor could bring a smile to everyone’s face. He is survived by his sister Wendy (Jim) Stapley, and his brother Syd Baker. He also leaves behind his nieces and nephews: Courtenay, Chelsea and Brandon Stapley and Kathryn and Benjamin Baker. Also one great-niece Bailee Stapley, Aunt Leila Burton and his cousins.
He was predeceased by his father, Wendel Rollin Baker in August of 1965, and his mother, Nellie May Burton in July of 2015. As well as his grandparents, aunts, uncles and one of his cousins. Our family gives our heartfelt thanks to all of those who provided care and opportunities for Minor throughout his life. This includes Kindale, Community Living B.C. (Vernon) and especially to Pat and the staff at Warner House in Armstrong, B.C., where he was blessed to spend the last five years of his life. We would also like to thank the nurses on the 6th floor of Vernon Jubilee for the wonderful and caring things they did to make Minor’s final two weeks as comfortable as possible. We are truly grateful. Minor was cremated with arrangements facilitated by Bethel Funeral Chapel Ltd. A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 1:30 at the Seaton Centre, 1340 Polson Drive, Vernon, BC Those wishing to do so can make a donation in Minor’s name to Kindale.
Mrs. Sadie Fulbrook passed away in the Polson Extended Care Unit of Vernon Jubilee Hospital on Sunday, May 1st, 2016 at the age of 95 years. She was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, John Richard “Richie” Fulbrook who passed away on April 19th, 1999; brothers: Ed, Ron, and Jim Doebert; sisters: Lucy Whitehead, Madeleine Tulari, and Beulah Peachey; parents Edith and Charles Doebert; and daughter-in-law Rosemarie Fulbrook. Sadie is survived by her sister, Jean Johnston of Salmon Arm; her three sons: Steven Fulbrook and wife Diane of Desert Cove in Vernon, their daughters: Michelle Gregoire and her son, Max, Rachelle (Gus) Ruiter and their daughter Victoria; son Jim Fulbrook and wife Brenda of Vernon, their son Steven (Kelly), daughter Mia and son Ellis, and daughter Nikki; son Dick of Kaleden, B.C. and his daughters, Robyn and Suzanne. Sadie was born in Salmon Arm at a midwife’s residence and grew up at Blind Bay, B.C. on Shuswap Lake. Her father taught her to value honesty, generosity and to obey orders. Her mother taught her to value good manners, neatness and a love of nature. Sadie was known for her patience and gentle mannerisms which the care aids and nurses commented on each day. She enjoyed her independence. After finishing Grade 8, she went to work on the farm as a berry picker, gardener and calf feeder, then housekeeper. She met her husband, Richard Fulbrook at Morris Valley, B.C. near Harrison Hot Springs. After a three
year courtship, they married on July 17th, 1940 in Vancouver, where they lived for ten years before moving around the province, finally settling in Vernon. Sadie and Richard joined the Vernon Lapidary & Rock Club and the Okanagan Arts League where they enjoyed painting the scenes of the Commonage and area. They spent many weekends camping at their jade claim. Mom loved Tai Chi and participated until she could no longer do it. Sadie’s motto was: “Do unto others and they will do unto you” (Respect, honesty, trustworthiness and forthrightness) “May peace be with you, Mom, now that you have joined your “Richie” The family would like to thank Dr. Ross Waldron and ALL the STAFF at Polson Extended Care for their patience and care of our mother, Sadie. You always kept her cold little body warm and comfortable. There will not be a formal service. Sadie and Richard’s cremated remains will be placed under a special tree.

KINES, Audrey June Rufane 1926-2016 Devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother and best friend, Audrey J. R. Kines (nee Sangster) died peacefully in Vernon Jubilee Hospital the morning of April 25, 2016, just weeks shy of her 90th birthday, from complications of congestive heart failure. Her son, daughter, daughterin-law and a granddaughter were by her side. A native daughter of New Westminster, BC, Audrey was born June 4, 1926 to Rufus Kennedy and Edith Elizabeth Sangster (nee Johnston). As a young teen Audrey studied elocution and singing with Lila McCormick, and performed in community theatre productions. She seemed headed for a life in the performing arts, but when she finished high school, a teaching career beckoned. She graduated from Vancouver Normal School in 1945, and married (A.G.) “Pat” Kines in 1947. Her teaching assignments included Yarrow Elementary School, the Army Camp School in Sardis, Herbert Spencer Elementary and the Woodlands School for the Mentally Challenged in New Westminster,Triwood Kindergarten and the Mount Royal College school program for the Deaf in Calgary, and finally some subbing and teaching at Armstrong Elementary rounded out nearly 30 years as a teacher. Pat died in 1982 and nine years later Audrey moved to Vernon. She was a member of the Sunset Rebekah Lodge for 40 years, volunteered for the cooking and canning division of the IPE for 27 years, and worked with Vernon Community Concerts membership for 18 years. She and Pat also sang with the Okanagan Symphony Choir, as well as various church choirs. Mom loved to travel. She explored BC and Alberta extensively, made two road trips from BC to Manitoba, visited Ottawa and the Maritimes; cruised to Alaska and in the Caribbean, passing twice through the Panama Canal; went to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and Idaho on bus trips; visited Costa Rica, Mexico and Hawaii, made two visits to the U.K., and took a road trip on the back roads of Washington state. In the Vernon area, Audrey leaves to mourn: her son Gary Kines (Bev), daughter Lori Wallinder (Wally), grandchildren Shawn Wallinder, Carrie Green (Kelly) and Azura Kines, great-grandchildren Daan and Hunter Green, nephew Keith Sangster and niece Maureen Soichuk, as well as other nephews and nieces, cousins, good friends and numerous extended family elsewhere. She was predeceased by her husband Albert Glover (“Pat”) Kines, brother Robert Walker Sangster, sisters-in-law Kay Sangster, Marjory Day, and Mildred Eckhoff. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held June 4th, from 2-4 pm, in the Opal Room at Schubert Centre. Cremation arranged by Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services. “The Best Things in Life are not Things.”

LEWIS,
Lillian (Lynn) 1924 - 2016 Lillian (Lynn) Tillie Lewis was a farm girl who grew up in a family which loved to sing. She was independent, strong-willed, adventurous and a survivor. Lynn loved driving and road trips. Her favourite things during the last years were counting cows and admiring nice big trees when we went on our drives each week. Despite her medical problems, she learned to love life . . . . . with a few vices. We all loved her anyway. She was always soft-hearted and would help if she could. Lynn could be quite a lot of fun. Nothing shocked her. She loved joining in games, never failed to say,“I love you�, and was very affectionate, to the last day. She is survived by three children and several grandkids: daughter Donna Smith, son Jeffrey Gordon, daughter Theresa Deyotte. Jerry Stainer was like a son to her and Greg Woolman a hero. She has a sister still surviving, Ruth, and of course we have many cousins. Special thanks to Carol Stubbs and Ramona Baker for the comfort their visits brought. It always made her smile. Lynn passed away peacefully at Polson Extended Care Facility on Sunday, May 1st, 2016. Always loved . . . . . Always remembered Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to PLEASANT VALLEY DIGNITY FUNERAL HOME, 4303 P.V. Road, Vernon, B.C. V1T 4M4 Phone: (250) 542-4333.

Customers support fire victims Morning Star Staff
As wildfire rages in Fort McMurray, B.C. Liquor Stores customers can support Red Cross relief efforts there by donating at stores throughout the province. B.C. Liquor Stores customers can donate $2, $5 or more to help the Red Cross in Alberta reunite family members, provide evacuees with shelter, food and water, and later, assist with longer-term needs as the community rebuilds. “British Columbia knows all too well the devastation of wildfires, and our thoughts are with Fort McMurray during this difficult time,” said Coralee Oakes, small business minister. “By donating to the Red Cross at B.C. Liquor Stores, British
Columbians are doing our part to support
everyone impacted by the fire and ensure
they will have a strong recovery.”

We all love to create healthy, tasty meals and I treasure the time together that we spend eating them. That’s why I love this contest - it reminds families to set aside the screens and stress of everyday
life and make family meals a priority.” The Hands-on Cook-off contest was born from research that shows that when families cook and eat together, kids gain many valuable benefits - including better grades in school, better physical and mental health, and better overall social adaptability.

Total prizes up for grabs are valued at over $4,000. Full prizing details can be found at http:// bettertogetherbc.ca/ contest/page/prizesawards This year, the contest is going national as it is available in Manitoba. “We’re so encouraged that Manitoba has adopted this contest, and we hope to see other provinces following suit in the years to come,” said Sydney Massey, one of the creators of Better Together and director of nutrition education at the B.C. Dairy Association. “The Hands-on Cookoff contest is our primary campaign to promote the benefits of cooking and eating together to families – and we’re excited to see it expand across Canada.” Each year, B.C.’s Hands-on Cook-off contest enjoys the support of hundreds of chefs, schools, community organizations, and media. This year’s panel of judges represents all of these groups, and includes: Jennifer Pallian, Ethan Adeland, Claire Newell, Alexandra Gill and Denise Marchessault.
