Baking spree lures visitors to Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It was doughnut making 101. Writer Jennifer CockrallKing left her pen and note pad behind and donned an apron for Doughnut Friday at Ratio Coffee and Pastry. “It’s harder than it looks,” said Cockrall-King as she tried to infuse a doughnut with filling. “I have experience with eating doughnuts.” The author of Food Artisans of the Okanagan was at Ratio as part of a familiarization tour hosted by Tourism Vernon. “It’s all about creating awareness about Vernon and the North Okanagan and our partners and their passion for what they do,” said Ange Chew, the City of Vernon’s tourism manager. And that passion was front and centre in Ratio’s kitchen as the staff showed Cockrall-King the ropes. Food and emotions are closely linked and that was the case for Cockrall-King, who splits her time between Edmonton and the Okanagan. “Growing up in Alberta on
Sundays, it was church and doughnuts. I am on a quest to find my childhood doughnut,” she said. Also getting behind the scenes was Roslyne Buchanan, a freelancer and Destination B.C. blogger, who assisted distiller Peter Von Hahn at Okanagan Spirits. “I love all things culinary and I love local,” said the Penticton resident. “Craft distilling captures the imagination.” Cockrall-King was impressed with what she saw at Ratio. “The world needs more of this. I’m into food that takes time and tastes great. I’m thrilled that people are willing to do the hard work and I’m even more thrilled that people are willing to support it.” In 2015, 103 writers, bloggers and broadcasters came to Vernon and their articles resulted in a story value of $2.6 million. “It helps us reach into markets I can’t afford. Last year we were in Germany, China and the U.S.,” said Chew. About 37 million people were potentially reached about Vernon as a holiday destination.

Lack of grants puts pressure on friendship centre RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Funding cuts are forcing a Vernon non-profit to take drastic action. The Vernon First Nations Friendship Centre has had to reduce staff and programs because federal grants have not materialized. Patricia Wilson “We’re hoping they will resolve this,” said Patricia Wilson, centre execu-
tive director. “To throw instability into a process that has worked doesn’t seem to be in line with what the government has promised (about indigenous support).” A $90,000 grant was not approved and that has led to two staff being laid off. This directly impacts programs for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. “We want to help them with employment and life skills and to introduce them to cultural teachings,” said Wilson. A $164,000 grant of largely federal funds has also not been approved, and that has directly impacted core adminis-
trative staff, who will work four days a week, down from five. “Some will work Monday to Thursday and some Tuesday to Friday,” said Wilson. “It’s important that we keep our services open to the most vulnerable, the homeless and those addicted, and to provide programs to families.” The goal is to try and retain essential services that are currently funded until the end of the fiscal year, March 31, 2017. “The board has plans in place for layoffs as a last resort if the current Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada

funding crisis is not resolved,” said Val Chiba, friendship centre president. The reduction in federal funds comes at the same time that the centre is increasing its profile and pursuing other revenue sources, such as the tiny homes program. “We’re not just sitting here waiting for the government to meet all of our needs. We are working with the community to put funds away,” said Wilson. In an attempt to have core funding restored from Ottawa, the centre is urging the community to get involved. “We are calling for letters of support for our programs,” said Wilson.

Star collects silver in province-wide awards Morning Star Staff
Consistency continues to pay off for The Morning Star. For the fourth straight year, The Morning Star finished in the top three in its circulation category for general excellence in the annual B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association Ma Murray Awards, which were handed out last weekend in Richmond. The Morning Star earned silver, finishing with 70.33 points outs of 100, and only 1.18 points behind the winner, The Vancouver Courier. Kamloops This Week finished third out of 10 papers in the category with 69.50 points. “This, again, is an overall team effort,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen. “Everybody from the reporters and photographers, to the graphic artists, the sales and front office staff, our press
room, carriers and drivers, we can’t do the great job we do, edition after edition, without everybody chipping in.” General excellence takes into account 11 separate scoring categories, from front page to features to classified sections and advertising design. “You don’t need to look beyond the front page to observe The Morning Star’s commitment to presenting easily accessible news to the community,” wrote the judge. “It is the only paper in the category that features stories in their entirety on their cover. “The Morning Star has the best arts coverage of all entries, both in terms of space and content, adds its Live Wire listings to inform where those events may be found, and is then followed by one of the most thorough and engaging Community Calendars in this group.”
The judge was also impressed with The Morning Star’s use of colour throughout its pages. The Morning Star is a Black Press publication and was one off 11 Black Press papers that finished in the top-three of the seven general excellence categories. The paper also won a national honour. The Morning Star took first place in the Best Holiday Edition for circulations of more than 12,500 in the annual Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s awards. “I liked this section. It had good balance throughout the paper, good lead news/holiday-hope themed story in the front to set the tone for the rest of the paper,” said the category judge. “Awesome ads, and loved the cheeky fun house/staff ad (which saw The Morning Star staff portrayed as Minions). Bravo, well done, lots of compliments for

The Upper Room Mission has received word that a federal grant will allow it to hire two students during the summer.
Mission gets help richard rolke Morning Star Staff
There’s been a slight reprieve for Vernon’s Upper Room Mission. A federal grant will allow the non-profit to hire two summer students, meaning it will be open to clients between meals for 10 weeks. “I anticipate we will be able to reopen between meals beginning May 23 or sooner,” said Rick Lavin, executive director. “The mission will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. We will serve breakfast at 9 a.m., lunch at noon and dinner at 5 p.m.” The mission recently had to restrict access to the building outside of meal service because a $100,000 provincial gaming grant was lost. That has resulted in concerns about clients congregating downtown, as well as other issues. “We recognize the impact that our not being open has had on our clients, the community, and our
For the record
partners. We are very happy that we will be able to re-open,” said Lavin. “We plan to take the next 10 weeks to restructure our services and source alternative funding.” Summer student applications are currently being sought from individuals under the age of 30, who attended school full-time this year and are returning to a post-secondary school after the summer. “We would prefer a student enrolled in a related field of study,” said Lavin. While the loss of the gaming grant has created challenges, Lavin says the community has rallied. “We continue to enjoy outstanding relationships with all of our elected officials,” he said. “Special thanks to MP Mel Arnold, MLA Eric Foster, Mayor Akbal Mund and Coun. Juliette Cunningham for their assistance over the past few weeks. The Upper Room Mission is committed to feeding the hungry.”
The Morning Star wishes to clarify photograph information in the May 11 edition. A hot air balloon made a precautionary landing

Armstrong runs taps tight ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Stage two water restrictions remain in Armstrong for the time being. The city implemented the directive April 27 due to extreme temperatures causing a quick spring runoff. “We’ve had to switch the water source from the Fortune Creek surface supply to groundwater wells,” said Coun. Steven Drapala, chairperson of the city’s pub- Steven Drapala lic works committee. During stage two restrictions, residents are not allowed to used sprinkler or irrigation system, wash driveways, sidewalks, parking lots or exterior buildings. They can water trees, shrubs, flowers and
vegetables if the watering is done by hand-held container or a hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle, but only during the prescribed stage one watering hours and days. That means even-numbered addresses may water on even days, and odd-numbered addresses on odd-numbered days, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. or 7 p.m. to midnight. They can also water newly planted trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables if watering by hand during installation and the following 24-hours. “The groundwater supply is a backup supply and does not have sufficient capacity to meet usage demands with allowing lawn sprinkling,” said Drapala. The city is monitoring the water quality of the Fortune Creek supply and will switch back to the Fortune Creek source when turbidity conditions permit.

Motorists are being advised of a number of projects underway on Vernon roads. Crews will be repairing 27th Street, between 43rd and 58th avenues, starting Monday. “These base repairs are necessary before repaving to increase the lifespan of the road,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, the City of Vernon’s communications officer. “Repairs are expected to take about five weeks to complete. Repaving is scheduled for the end of September to avoid high volumes of tourist traffic.” The city’s crack sealing program is also in progress. “Crack sealing extends the life of pavement by reducing water penetration. The program will run four to six weeks,” said Laing Gahr. Another project also underway is line painting, which includes curbs and symbols (crosswalks, stop bars), and long line (centre line, fog line). The program will run five to six weeks and contractors will be working through the evening and early morning hours until completion. “Although every reasonable effort will be made to minimize the disruption to traffic during these projects, motorists should be prepared for

Lumby looks for area partnerships RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby wants to tap into provincial dollars as a way of bolstering the regional economy. The village is currently investigating ways to access the B.C. Rural Dividend and it could possibly include working with the Splatsin, Enderby and Sicamous. “We want to create business models with partners,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Kevin Acton Among the potential projects funds could go towards are biomass energy, preserving the rail corridor and expanding the community forest. The goal of the three-year $75-million Rural
Dividend is to assist rural communities with populations under 25,000 diversify economically. Funding of $25 million per year is available for community capacity building, workforce development, community and economic development and business sector development. Single applicants can apply for up to $100,000 for community-driven projects and must contribute at least 20 per cent of the total project cost. Partnerships involving more than one eligible applicant can apply for up to $500,000, and must contribute 40 per cent of the total project cost. Acton wants to see if Lumby can pull together other small communities in the North Okanagan. “They (provincial government) are really encouraging partnerships and we have a great partnership with the Splatsin already through the community forest,” he said.

Funds borrowed for Huculak Park ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The City of Armstrong will fund phase one of its new Huculak Park through short-term borrowing. The city budgeted $80,000 for the phase, which will begin later this summer. “We’ll be putting in trails and berms. I’s time to get things on the go,” said Coun. Shirley Fowler, chairperson of the city’s finance committee. Short-term borrowing is governed by the Community Charter using the Municipal Finance Authority as the lender. The program limits municipalities to borrow about $250,000,

does not require elector approval and has a five-year amortization limit. The city created a bylaw for the borrowing and gave unanimous approval to three readings. The bylaw is now sent to Victoria for approval which could take up to six weeks. If approved, the bylaw is adopted to secure funding and that would take about a week.
“The project should not proceed until ministry approval is received, which should be no later than the end of June,” said Fowler. The city has budgeted no more than $16,880 over the next five years to repay the loan. Meanwhile,plans are in the works to pay tribute in the park to the Chinese contribution to the city’s history.
The city and Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery will submit applications for grant funding which will go towards Chinese cultural recognition in Huculak Park. “We may put in a gazebo or a Chinese gate in a certain park of the park,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “We have talked about recognizing the significant contributions of the Chinese in our community.”

Friendship centres require attention
Air apparent
ur friend Melody’s flight was delayed, so I had plenty of time to watch people come and go at the airport. Picking up visitors at the airport is a loathsome task on the best day; there’s nothing quite like driving around for 45 minutes trying to find a space in the shortterm parking lot to get you in the mood to host friends at your house. Every spot you think is empty is really just a normal-sized car parked in between two giant SUVs. Finally, you’ll find a spot on the garage roof that is two escalators and a pedestrian bridge away from the arrival gate. When you make it to the gate, you can enjoy the sight of village idiot beaten-down travelJim Mullen lers dodging pullbehind luggage as they approach the security line. Call me shallow, but the most depressing thing for me about air travel is the way people dress. It’s as if they call each other before the flight and say, “We’re getting on a plane early tomorrow, so don’t forget to wear the most inappropriate things you own. Maybe the pajamas you slept in, or whatever’s really smelly at the bottom of your gym bag.”
Published by Black Press Ltd at 4407 - 25th Ave. Vernon, B.C.

The airport is a festival of bare-legged, flip-flopping, cargo shorts-wearing, gluedto-their-phones, drink-swilling, crumbdropping travelers who started their vacation the minute they left the house. Looking at them, I wonder if the Survivor TV show sold the contestants’ used clothes to these people right off their backs. Where else could you find such a motley collection of rags? “Hey, I’m wearing my favorite flip-flops to travel in,” I can imagine one saying. “My best ones, I save for weddings and funerals.” I’ve seen people dress more formally at a Jimmy Buffett concert than they do to get on a plane. Do people understand that hobos don’t dress like hobos because they want to? Do they understand that it’s not a fashion choice? In England, they call that “living rough.” People who can afford plane tickets are not living rough. They have a choice. And I’m not talking about youngsters; these are grown men and women walking around as if they are at a backyard barbecue at Aunt Millie’s on a hot summer afternoon. I am not a snob. I believe in dressing comfortably, but there’s a time and a place for the tank top. And that time and place is when you’re being busted for selling meth on “Cops,” or at midnight on Friday at the giant discount store -- not at an airport, even if you’re just there to pick someone up. That was another

thing I noticed: how many teenagers were getting off the plane and running into the arms of the waiting parent. They’ll have to do it all over again in few weeks, because mom and dad hate each other so much that they live 10 states apart. And here’s the other conundrum: The people wearing the flip-flops, the shorts and the holey T-shirts are pulling big carry-ons. What is in them? Their “good” clothes? Wouldn’t an airport full of people be the place to wear your good clothes, and your destination the place to wear your casual clothes? Not the other way around? Then again, since so many flights end up with people spending a night or two in an airport or sitting on the tarmac for hours on end, wearing pajamas may not be such a bad idea. But you do have to wonder how casual it can get. When I first started flying, men would wear suits to get on a plane. Now, about half of them wear shorts and T-shirts, and the other half wear tracksuits. Which would be OK if they had ever been on a track in their entire lives. What’s next? What do you say when a guy wearing only a Speedo and a gold necklace says to you, “Is that middle seat taken?” Do you want to sit next to him for seven hours? Of course, if he’s even better dressed than you are, maybe the answer is yes. Contact Jim Mullen at mullen.jim@ gmail.com.

First Nations friendship centres have a long tradition of serving the needs of Canada’s urban native population. And, in particular, staff and volunteers at the friendship centre in Vernon have provided critical programs and support for decades. So the news that federal funding for the local friendship centre hasn’t arrived should be a concern for all residents, indigenous and non-indigenous. And particularly troubling is the loss of $90,000, which went towards programs for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. “We want to help them with employment and life skills and to introduce them to cultural teachings,” said Patricia Wilson, centre executive director. The other cut of $164,000 directly impacts the centre’s ability to provide the behind-the-scenes support systems needed for programs to operate. As a result, administrative staff are working four days a week. During last fall’s federal election, the Liberals promised to make Canada’s indigenous residents a priority and to tackle the social and economic challenges they experience. But those promises sound hollow when you consider the financial plight facing First Nations friendship centres across the country, and particularly in Vernon. We would encourage all North Okanagan residents, as well as our Conservative MP Mel Arnold, to take a stand and demand that Ottawa restore funding.

I
MLA comes under fire
t seems that our current MLA is satisfied with giving the minimum effort to a maximum situation. I wrote to the e-mail address of Eric Foster, expressing my, and I am confident others, concern over the lack of funding going to very needed services in Vernon. In particular, I was referring to the Upper Room Mission, but have since learned that it is not the only essential agency being treated with an appalling degree of indifference. I say indifference simply because in my letter, I made it clear to Mr. Foster that there is no reason why the services in Vernon that serve the homeless and financially struggling individuals should have to go on holding their breaths waiting for funding. A long-term and workable solution needs to be implemented and the gaming revenues are clearly too tenuous to be fully relied on.
tronson tribulations And so it begins. Yet another season of walks, runs and triathlons on Tronson Road, where residents have to plan their exits and entries to and from their properties because the road is taken up with participants using this street. While we can appreciate the causes for these activities, we just get fed up with it always being on this stretch of road, especially from the corner of Okanagan Landing Road to Kin Beach. The latest notification kindly advised us to use Scott Road (not a good solution as it exits on to Tronson on both ends), parking our vehicles on a road not subject to closures (Scott Road was suggested but is subject to on both ends), and a host of other suggestions, none of which are logical, especially for a number of people who live on this stretch of road who are elderly and have mobility issues. Why don't these organiz-
I also noted to Mr. Foster that I did not have any vested interest in any of Vernon's charitable organizations and was therefore, not attempting to curry any favours. But rather as a citizen of this city, I was worried for those who need these agencies to be in full vigour, not having to pick and choose the hours in which they can afford to operate. I was returned a very brief, one-line e-mail that frankly smacked of a macro, sent by an assistant of some sort. Save yourself the time and effort writing to the MLA for Vernon-Monashee on this issue. He is clearly too busy with other more pressing issues although I can't begin to imagine what. I would think when some of your constituents are suffering a lack of complete, life-sustaining services, they so desperately need, that would be your first priority. Christina Roeters
ers take their marathons up to the oval at the college and run around the track there? Or, hold them at Kin Race Track as God knows, the horses aren't using it. Go up to the Commonage Road or some other less inhabited area. Tronson Road is a busy thoroughfare, which many people need to use every hour of every day. We, who live along Tronson Road are weary of having to contend with these frequent runners and walkers. Pick another, less used road or venue. Give us a break. Penny S. Coon Farmers market Allow me to comment on Jennifer Smith’s article about the Coldstream Farmers Market in the May 1 Morning Star. Yet again, Anita Fletcher, market organizer, is trying to convince Coldstream they are a non-profit group and entitled to the use of Cenotaph Park and other facilities rent-free.
She says she has, "invested five years volunteer time" to "share the bounty with the extended farming community." I am given to understand Ms. Fletcher sells organic apples. I put forward she pursued this market as a way to sell her own apples. Is she not trying to recoup her costs and make a profit on growing those apples? She goes on to say they run as non-profit to benefit "the vendors." Nor are they trying to hinder any other users of the facilities. Excuse me? Please look up the definition of vendor: "To sell, one who sells things, especially on the street or from a stall." No mention is made of giving product away. Each and every one of those participating vendors is selling a product, be it fresh produce, cheeses, crafts, etc. in order to profit, i.e. make some money, from their labours. As a Coldstream taxpayer, I feel the free use of the park or any other facility is unacceptable
for a venture of this nature. P.J. Sault school District I am in disbelief, as I am sure are many others, that $10 million has been taken out of a North Okanagan-Shuswap School District account earmarked to educate children to pay for luxury offices for a bunch of penpushers. Then the school district managers say they have to cut back on the kids' education because they have no money. It is unbelievable that such a situation could occur. Apparently the Jackson school property in Salmon Arm hasn't been sold yet. When that happens, the proceeds will probably go into the capital account. This is mind boggling. It should and must go to educate kids to make up for the money that was taken from the kids' education account. It would appear that the
bureaucrats, the pen pushers, are in charge, not the school board. Arthur Cayford boats in creek At 7:15 p.m. April 26, a red and silver jet boat came from Okanagan Lake and proceeded to race down Vernon Creek. A young man and a boy were driving the craft with obviously no thought to what they were destroying. You should be ashamed. Is the lake not big enough for you? Last year when this happened, we were left to see nests destroyed and dead ducklings floating in the water. Many people throw sticks from the path for their dogs to retrieve. They would have been killed if they had been in the water at that time. Please leave the tranquil creek to wildlife habitat and the occasional kayak and canoe. Please put up a sign stating, "No motorized watercraft." John and Heather Chapman

The 2015 Alexa’s Team members from B.C.’s southeast district, including eight officers from the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment, are honoured in Kelowna for their work to reduce alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths in B.C.
Cops team up for Alexa Morning Star Staff
Eight police officers from the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment are among 246 officers from around the province named to the 2015 Alexa’s Team. Alexa’s Team is a program sponsored by MADD Canada, ICBC and the RCMP that recognizes police officers in B.C. who make an extraordinary contribution to reducing the number of drivers affected by alcohol or drugs on B.C.’s roads and highways. The team is named for Alexa Middelaer, a Delta toddler who was killed by an alcohol impaired driver in 2008. Named to the team from the VernonNorth Okanagan detachment are Const. Gary McLaughlin and Const. Steven Schenkeveld from North Okanagan Traffic Services; Const. Tibor Baldauf and Const. Phil Dobernigg of the Integrated Road Safety Unit; and Constables Ryan Fletcher, Brian Heideman, Tyler Jackson and Kanwalprit Sidhu. McLaughlin, Schenkenveld and Heideman were named all-star members, which are the top impaired impaired driving investigators in the province. Each has taken at least 34 criminally impaired drivers off the road in 2015. Officers are personally thanked by Alexa’s family, road safety organizations and community leaders for their tireless work fighting impaired driving. “As a family, it is our privilege to recognize the members of Alexa’s Team whom have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of our communities,” said Laurel Middelaer, Alexa’s mother and road safety advocate. “It is good and right to acknowledge and thank those who individually and collectively make an enormous difference, each and every

day. In the wake of the tragic loss of our daughter, Alexa, this is one event that allows our family to find some needed good. These members are heroes and deserve our appreciation.”. The awards ceremonies also provide an opportunity to recognize the significant decrease in B.C.’s rate of alcohol-related crash deaths since the introduction of the province’s Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) program in 2010. The average reduction from October 2010 to the end of September 2014 was 52 per cent, representing an estimated 238 lives saved. Since 2008, Alexa’s Team members have processed more than 71,300 impaired driving sanctions for alcohol- and drug-related driving offences. The total number of Alexa’s Team members has grown from 26 to 1,885, and includes officers from all regions of the province. “We applaud every police officer on Alexa’s Team for their commitment to getting impaired drivers off our roads,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety,
Final water meeting commences Morning Star Staff
Final details on Greater Vernon’s water system could be hammered out Wednesday. The stakeholders committee reviewing the master water plan will hold its last meeting at 10 a.m. at the Regional District of North Okanagan office.
From there, committee recommendations will go to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and the RDNO board for consideration. Currently, the committee is recommending Duteau Creek and Kalamalka Lake be maintained as drinking water sources and that two treat-
ment plants remain. It also wants partial separation of agricultural land from treated water. The stakeholders’ review of the master water plan was launched after a 2014 referendum to borrow $70 million for the plan was shot down by residents.

The City of Vernon says its financial house is increasingly in order. Council received the 2015 audited financial statements Monday. “Council has contained expenses to an increase of 1.4 per cent and moved into a net asset position,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer. “Our costs are well managed and year-end balance is positive. If I compared this to a typical family budget, our expenses have been brought into control and are less than our predictable income. We are setting money aside to repair our home in a timely manner to ensure it is sound and safe.” The financial statements indicate $754,506 remaining from 2015 that can be allocated to

Death deemed accidental Morning Star Staff
Obstructed views played a role in the death of a Vernon senior. Coroner Margaret Janzen has ruled Andrew Joseph Raab, 86, died in Vernon on Jan. 27, 2015, as a result of pneumonia due to stasis due to blunt force trauma sustained in a motor vehicle/pedestrian incident. “Obstruction of the driver’s view was considered contributory,” said Janzen, who classified Raab’s death as accidental. Just after 2 p.m. on Jan. 14, 2015, Raab had been walking along the north side of 27th
Avenue when a vehicle backing out of a driveway struck him. Raab was badly injured and was transferred to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He died two weeks later as a result of his injuries. The driveway in question was bordered by a chain-link fence, snowbanks and bushes which created obstructions for the driver of pedestrians walking the sidewalk to the east and west of the driveway. “It was daylight and weather was not a factor,” said Janzen. The vehicle that struck Raab
was examined. Janzen said there was a sticker on the lower right rear-view mirror and “what appeared to be residue from an old sticker” in the upper centre of the rear-view mirror. In addition, there was a large cardboard box in the right rear seat. “All of these things would have created view obstructions for the driver,” said Janzen. The vehicle was equipped with two side mirrors which were sufficient to view both corners of the vehicle’s rear bumper.
Golf tourney boosts burn fund Morning Star Staff
Golfers have a chance to support those impacted by burns. On June 2, the Vernon Fire Department will host the R.F. Brett Memorial Golf Tournament at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. “All proceeds going to support the B.C. Professional Firefighters Association Burn Fund,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, with the City of Vernon. “The tournament is in memory of Bob Brett, who was influential in developing the BCPFFA Burn Fund.” The Texas Scramble tournament will have a
shotgun start at 1 p.m. and includes dinner and a silent auction as well as three hole-in-one prizes: a Jeep Wrangler and two $10,000 prizes. The cost for the tournament is $125. To register or for more information, e-mail rfbrettmemorial@gmail.com or visit the downtown Vernon fire hall prior to May 25.

A chance to look into the eyes of a predator is soaring into town. The Allan Brooks Nature Centre has partnered with The Raptors, a wildlife program in Duncan, to offer hands-on birds of prey experiences. A team of six birds and two handlers will be coming to the centre June 13 to 18 where it will offer free flight demonstrations and close encounter courses twice daily. “It’s such a great location for them to soar,” said Robyn Radcliffe, The Raptors operations manager, who brought Paco, a Harris’ Hawk to the region Friday to help introduce the program. To start, the program will run in June, Aug. 16 to 20 and Sept. 20 to 24, but the goal is to make it a full time exhibit in 2017. It’s a perfect fit, according to Aaron Deans, ABNC executive director, since the Okanagan region is home to more than 300 species of birds, 33 of which are birds of prey. “We live in an area that’s got the highest concentrations of birds in Canada,” said Deans. “This gives us an opportunity to get close to these species that we see but we don’t know a lot about.” Being able put a glove on and handle the birds and fly them also fits nicely with the centre’s goals. “Our mandate is to get people
more connected to nature,” said Deans. ABNC already does a great deal of that with its existing programs, but the new Raptor program will only enhance that. “It’s a program that’s very well supported by not only our school districts but school districts that are outside of the are as well.” It’s already a hit for Ingrid Fisher and her family. “It’s nice to have different things brought up,” said Fisher, while checking out the centre with her son. Five-year-old Jack Fisher, and his buddy Liam Kuc, were lucky enough to get a close encounter with Paco Friday. “Cool!” said Jack, interested in the bird’s tongue. Liam was also wide-eyed during the encounter. “His head could go to the back, all the way.” The new program will take place in the Paragrin Theatre presentation space currently being put together and is open to kids, families, businesses and anyone wanting to take in the unique experience. The flight demonstrations are for all ages while the encounters are for ages eight and up and for groups of no more than eight people. Tickets are available at www. abnc.ca. “The goal for next year is to also have kids encounter programs,” said Deans.

District adds grade at pair of schools Grade 6 and 7 students were required by the school district to transfer to Shuswap Middle School. This was because, despite some enrolment increases, the number of students in the higher grades was not considered financially viable to add another teacher to the school. At recent public meetings, some parents voiced support for the K-8 model, noting it would keep their children closer to home and would remove the oneyear transition between schools for the Grade 8 students. The move would also save money for the school district, as bus routes from the area to Shuswap Middle School can be eliminated. The shift to K-8 will

Two North Okanagan-Shuswap schools will open their doors to Grade 8 students in September following a narrow 5-4 vote by trustees.

Badgers bottle up Kal Tire Morning Star Staff
Guess winning the Kelowna Tree Brewing Men’s 35+ Soccer League playoff title doesn’t bring a guarantee for officials every week. Vernon’s Kal Tire waited more than an hour last week before giving up on a referee showing up for their game with the Mission Cleaners. Same thing happened Thursday night at MacDonald Park before the Tiremen and Salmon Arm Beer Badgers agreed on using a guest referee from the sidelines. The Badgers surprised the defending playoff champions 1-0 for their third win in six starts. Kal Tire is 2-3. Damian Adams stepped up to play keeper with the absence of regulars and earned the Burger King Man of the Match for the Tiremen. “Whether the result counts or not will depend on the fact we had to recruit a referee as once again there were no assigned officials,” said Kal Tire veteran Jason Beck.

Maroons hold off Cats Morning Star Staff
Eric Ladner warned his Fulton Maroons to expect the best from the VSS Panthers in the North Zone Senior AA Girls Soccer League playoff final Thursday at Grahame Park. The Cats, who suffered a lopsided loss to the Maroons in the regular season, took Fulton to the limit before falling 3-2. Both teams advance to the Okanagan Valley championships starting Tuesday in Kamloops. Super striker Cayleigh Graham produced a pair of goals for Fulton, including the 3-1 snipe on a gorgeous 35-yard breakaway run after a sweet feed by fellow forward Erin Delaney. “That was the best I’ve seen VSS play this season,” said Ladner. “They battled us really hard and made us work for loose balls.” Maddi Catt put Fulton up early with a long shot that fooled the VSS keeper. Saige Woodliffe equalized for the Panthers before Graham cruised on another zig-zag breakaway from centre, making it 2-1 Fulton at
the recess. VSS pulled to within one in the dying minutes when Kendra Ostafie went up and nodded in a header past Fulton keeper Emily Dahl, a volleyball star learning the position on the fly from Ladner. Elena Gaskell sent in the corner for Ostafie’s beauty goal. “I think our central midfielder Carmyn Beaumont was our Player of the Match,” said Ladner. “She controlled the play with lots of possession and moved the ball well.” Fulton iced the Kalamalka Lakers 7-0 in Tuesday semifinals with Graham, Nicole Doerges and Kate Allison each scoring twice and Dahl pocketing the clean sheet. VSS clipped the Seaton Sonics in a shootout in the other semi. The Sonics also qualify for the Valleys and are on the same side of the draw with Fulton, Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops and Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton. Fulton faces Valleyview Tuesday morning.

Tenacity then went on to stop the Ice Cold Pitches in a walk off win,. Lynn Gregoire was solid at the plate with a pair of doubles, while Holly Armstrong had an impressive four-RBI game and Christine Shermann had a beauty off-field hit
scoring the winning run.
The Ice Cold Pitches beat the Competition Exteriors Dynamite 17-5, while the Nitros rebounded for a 17-7 win over the Gators. Karen Christian and Shelly Ouellette each went 3-for-3 versus the Pitches. Sandi Demers, Susan Groot, Jessica Sinclair and Paige Holbrook all had two hits. Linda Castonguay, Rae Cohen, Karen Christian and Shelly Ouellette each had three hits versus the Gators.

Hunter Johnstone delivered some great hits for the Stingers. Garret Louis had a great pitching performance for the Red Jays. Pwalken Joe made some great defensive plays at first base and Feenix Pasco showed great hustle throughout the game for the Red Jays. Troy Jones coaches the Stingers, while Ben Louis guides the Jays. The Rotary Blue Jays posted an 8-7 win over Team Green in other Mosquito action. Jamie Campbell pitched the first two innings and helped his own cause with a hit, a walk and an RBI.

Brayden King scored what proved to be the winner in the final minute of the second period as the North Okanagan Super 8 Legends doubled the visiting Penticton Heat 4-2 in Thompson Okanagan Midget B Lacrosse League action Thursday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. King’s goal gave the Legends a 3-1 lead heading into the final period. After the Heat cut the margin to 3-2, Amy Fox secured the win with an empty-net marker on an assist from goalie Troy Cuzzetto, his second helper of the game. The towering netminder and his Penticton counterpart, Dez Hazel, were outstanding all night. Griffin Evans and Jacob Brewer had the other goals for the Legends while Sam Knox also contributed two assists.
Riley Cormier earned the save with four strikeouts. Luke Gardiner had a clutch hit to spark a four-run rally for the Jays in the fourth. Dillen Carter had a solid hit in the fifth and contributed an RBI and a run. Logan Killingbeck, Ella McPherson, Maddex MacAulay, Emmah Pederson, Jaden Anderson and Seth Poulin all had nerves of steel at the plate taking key walks. In Pee Wee action last weekend, the Vernon Yellow Jackets lost 11-4 and 7-5 to Kelowna at Edith Gay Park in Rutland. Adam Battersby and Justin Geistlinger pitched well in Game 1 for the Jackets, who got some spledid fielding by Brydon Pilon and some good bats by Nolan Thomas (2-for-2), Carson Minshull (2-for2, double) and Tysin Taylor-Hesk (2-for-2 double). The second game saw a back and forth battle with Vernon carrying a one-run lead into the bottom of the fifth after being down by four before Kelowna struck for three runs, putting the game out of reach in the sixth. Carter Rachwalski turned an unassisted double play, TaylorHesk, Olivia Lattery and Minshull all went 3-for-3.

Orange peels off in Under 11 play Morning Star Staff
Team Orange grounded the Red Devils 6-3 in McDonald’s Under 11 Boys youth soccer action at Marshall Field. Gavin Ingbrigston led the shortstaff Orange gasng weith two goals and one assist. He opened the scoring on a deft through ball from Cormac Gibson. The action remained fast and furious with Orange opening a 3-1 lead. A scorching low shot by the Red Devils’ Connor Perrier caused a juicy rebound which Ingbrigston made good on for his second of the game. With the Devils up 4-2, Gavin added the assist on a rocket indirect kick by Exavier Roberts. James Petreny was the two-way player of the game for Orange, while a solid defensive partnership of Lucjan Attlesey and Mihaly Szabo kept the game from getting out of control. In U10 girls soccer, the Candy Crushers brushed past the Blue Whales 4-1 Saturday at Creekside Park. The Candy Crushers counted in the 14th minute when Jasmine Soon ate up a nummy pass from Aida Dempsey at midfield, danced in alone, and can-canned the ball home. Before the break, the Blue Whales had three bang-up chances to breach the goal line, but Lauren Cunningham came up with a whale of save each time. Early in the second half, Soon ran onto a ball from Sophie Challen and crossed to Sierra Allen, who walloped it into the Whale net. Ten minutes later, Erica Lovelace put a bonbon into the box for Madison Vranesic, and she crushed the Orange side’s third goal. Next, Cunningham and Soon relayed to Vranesic, who delivered another clinical finish.

Mortuary poles dominate the landscape at SGang Gwaay. The rich Haida culture abounds on Haida Gwaii. Many moss covered mounds hint at poles reclaimed by the forest. I stand on the beach imagining how attractive the village must have looked so long ago. The row of mortuary poles fronted a line of cedar houses, each with a frontal pole; all backed by the verdant forest. We learn more about the ancient ways of life at the Haida Heritage Centre at Kay Llnagaay in Skidegate. Each of the monumental poles set along the beach represents one of six ancestral southern villages. Figures inspired by the natural and spirit worlds are carved on the cedar logs and the tops soar almost to the clouds. More poles are found throughout the town of Old Massett, on the northern end of Haida Gwaii. Most are memorial poles; many are worn and weathered. We now can identify some common figures such as eagle, raven, bear, and the mythic thunderbird. Eagles galore perch in trees and on poles, stoically silent while ravens harass them with swooping dives
and raucous calls. Not far from Port Clements, we walk through the quiet, moss-draped forest and view the felled Golden Spruce tree. The tree was revered by islanders and is the stuff of legends for the Haida. Our cultural experiences continue at a traditional Haida dinner at Keenawaii’s Kitchen. We sit family style at a long table by windows overlooking the water. Appetizers include Sguu (dried seaweed),
dried K’aaw (herring eggs on kelp), and Gilgii (dried salmon) artistically served on a scallop shell. Almost everything Roberta serves is either caught, foraged or grown on Haida Gwaii. While walking near the Tlell River on East Beach, one of the longest beaches in North America, we meet a local who says he often has this strand all to himself. From where we stand, we cannot see anyone else but spy the far distant tip of Rose Spit.

B.C. - Above the shoreline of a sheltered cove stands a row of totems. They lean, crumbling with age but with still discernible details. Carved more than 100 years ago, their faces stare out to sea and their symbolism reaches across the ages in a mystical way. After decades of talking about visiting Haida Gwaii, Gary and I finally stand amongst the poles at one of the most sacred sites in these islands, SGaang Gwaay Llnagaay. We have but a short week for exploring some of the natural and cultural treasures on this remote archipelago off the northern coast of British Columbia. The morning of our SGang Gwaay expedition dawns clear and calm. Perfect for the hour and a half float plane ride south, over lushly forested islands surrounded by brilliant blue waters, to Rose Harbour. After donning survival suits, we have a half-hour bouncy zodiac ride to SGang Gwaay or Anthony Island. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to one of the best examples of a traditional coastal First Nations village site. We meet Ken, one of the Haida Watchmen who act as guardians at the ancient sites during the summer. He relates the legends of the animal, human and mythic figures while we wander amongst the mortuary and memorial poles of the village. Taller memorial poles commemorate an ancestor. Mortuary poles were carved to honour a chief or dignitary upon their passing and held bent wood boxes with their remains. It is said their spirit stays with the pole until it falls.

Loria brings status to nightclub Lisa VanderVeLde Morning Star Staff
Status Nightclub is open and ready to bring its big-city vibe to Vernon. With 30 years of night life experience, new owner Saverio Loria knows what makes a club successful. He has owned Status Nightclub in New Westminster for 19 years and managed and owned Nite Magic in Vernon from 1991 until 1997. He remained on as shareholder in the club in Vernon, as it changed names (including Club 29/29) and management throughout the years, but bought the building and the club last September. Loria spent the fall and winter slowly getting things back in order and planning the renovation and launch of Status Nightclub. In the last few months, Loria and his girlfriend have worked tirelessly to transform the old bar into a place he feels proud of. “You couldn’t get a nightclub worse than this, nothing worked, no glassware, hardly any inventory,” said Loria of the state the club was in before he purchased it. The club now has two full bars that he reconfigured to add to the flow of the space. The dance floor has been redone and he added a disco ball DJ booth, a pool table and new seating. Loria has big plans for Status. “I don’t want to be known as just a top-40 nightclub. I want to bring in bands, hypnotists, ladies nights, comedians, kara-

With Loria’s years of experience come high expectations for himself and his 15
staff members. “This is my passion, I perform at my best when things are busy and I get challenged, I’m not here to party I’m here to run a business,” he said. Loria has won many manager of the
year awards while living and working in the Lower Mainland and he says he plans to continue to offer strong customer service, listen to customers’ feedback, adapt and keep things fresh to make Status successful.
Timberstar Tractor earns certification Morning Star Staff

Vernon-based Timberstar Tractor has received 5-Paw certification from Kioti.
A North Okanagan company has garnered top-level recognition. Vernon’s Timberstar Tractor of Vernon has received 5-Paw premier certification, one of 51 Kioti Tractor dealerships in North America to receive the annual honour. The certification is part of the Kioti 5-Paw Dealer Excellence Program, created to honour dealerships that deliver outstanding overall performance. “We are proud to welcome Timberstar Tractor into the Kioti 5-Paw family,” said Peter Dong Kyun Kim, president of Daedong-USA, Kioti Tractor Division. “Their efforts to deliver exceptional customer service time and time again makes them invaluable to the Kioti brand. Dealers like Timberstar
Tractor are what help set us apart from our competitors.” Each year, Kioti dealers are evaluated against stringent qualifications in regards to service, sales, operations and parts. Dealers who meet or exceed these qualifications are named Kioti 5-Paw dealers and earn the ability to display Kioti’s 5-Paw logo at their dealership. The program was developed to ensure that Kioti Tractor customers receive a top quality buying experience and premier service when purchasing a Kioti tractor or UTV. “We’re looking forward to continuing to grow our dealer network in Vernon and helping local residents find the right compact tractor, UTV or attachment for their rural lifestyle or commercial projects,” said Kim.

Lift Resource Centre area developer Debra Senger is a believer in medicinal cannabis. Without it, the Vernon woman believes her husband would likely have passed away due to cancer in his liver. Two years ago, Senger’s husband wasn’t eligible for a liver transplant that could save his life. He had been taking tace treatments for the better part of two years: a combination of chemotherapy and radiation that directly targets a patient’s liver. But the cancer in her husband’s liver was growing and the treatments were not able to get it under control enough to make him eligible for a transplant. That’s when the couple decided to
try treatment using a type of cannabis that is loaded with a cannabinoid called CBD (cannabidiol) a chemical found in strains of cannabis such as hemp, unlike the more commonly known THC, which is the chemical that can get users high. “I took it upon myself to do a lot of research on the CBD side of the plant,” said Senger. With no, or minimal reduction in the tumour using the tace treatments, Senger and her husband stopped the treatments and started taking CBD capsules. For three months it was all her husband was taking as they headed back to the doctor. “We were booked to go in for an MRI and low and behold the tumours had shrunk to the point that the following week, the director of the transplant
clinic called and told us my husband was activated for a transplant,” said Senger. “I almost didn’t believe him.” But the results were true and soon a liver was found and by April of that year, just four months after starting on CDB, her husband received a new liver. He has been cancer free and healthy for the past two years. Now living in Vernon, Senger has joined the Lift Resource Centre to try and help spread the word about medicinal cannabis and get patients access to information. Lift is a private company that acts as a resource centre for medical marijuana, getting patients information about the plant and helping them navigate the often complicated Health Canada system to get access to the plant.

When you tee up on that tempting par 3, and you’re feeling good, you might just want to go for it – but when you do, you could end up overshooting the green or plunking into the water. Many investors also try for a “hole-in-one,” in the form of pursuing that one “hot” stock that’s going to make them rich. However, by the time they hear about such a stock (if it even exists), it may have already cooled off – and, in any case, it might not be right for their needs. Instead of looking for that ultimate, one-time winner, look for solid investments that you’d be comfortable holding for the long term.
Study the course. The more you know about a course you’re going to play, the better off you will be. You can plan the approaches you’ll take on various holes and think about how to avoid the sand, water and rough. When planning for your retirement, or even when you’re living it, you also need a strategy, one that addresses questions such as these: How can I structure my investment mix to provide me with a long-term income stream? How much should I withdraw from my portfolio each year? Am I doing all I can to control investment-related taxes? Visualize. Consider these words from World Golf Hall of Famer Nick Faldo: “Visualization is the most powerful thing
we have.” If you can visualize what you want to do on each hole you play, you are well on your way toward a successful round. The same idea holds true for retirement planning: If you can envision the type of retirement lifestyle you want, you may have better chance of reaching it by sticking with appropriate financial and investment strategies. So, there you have them, some ideas that play well on the golf course and in the retirement arena. Put them to work soon. Bruce Shepherd is a financial advisor with Edward Jones.

Recreation services promoting safety Morning Star Staff
Enderby and area residents are being urged to think safety before hitting the water. National Lifejacket Day is Thursday. “We are hoping you’ll join our aim to create awareness on the importance of being safe in, on and around the water,” said Sheryl Hay, recreation co-ordinator with Enderby and District Recreation Services. The aquatic leadership team and Buckles, the personal flotation device mascot, will be in the Enderby and Grindrod schools Thursday pre-
senting all of the latest trends in lifejackets and showing how to properly wear and care for them. Residents are also encouraged to wear a PFD to work, school, sports events or shopping Thursday. “When asked, ‘Why are you wearing a lifejacket,’ you are creating that awareness on the importance of having one,” said Hay. All participants will be entered into a draw for prizes, including a youth or adult lifejacket and swim passes to the Enderby pool. Every year, more than 400 Canadians

Effective at noon today, category two and three open fires will be prohibited throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires. Prohibited activities include the burning of any waste other materials larger than one-half metre by one-half metre, the
burning of more than two open fires of any size at the same time, stubble or grass fires of any size over any area and the use of fireworks or burning barrels. “This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a halfmetre high by a halfmetre wide or smaller and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes,” said Kelsey Winter, fire information officer. The prohibition covers all B.C. parks, Crown lands and private lands, but it does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire protection bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. “Before lighting any fire, people should check with local authorities to see if any other burning bylaws or restrictions are in effect,” said Winter. Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a violation ticket for $1,150, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Elaine Gibbons receives the Sax Koyama Citizen of the Year Award from Lake Country Mayor James Baker.
Top citizen earns honour kevin parnell
Black Press
For the first time ever, a Lake Country couple has been honoured as citizen of the year although decades apart. Elaine Gibbons was named the 2015 Sax Koyama Citizen of the Year by the Oceola Fish and Game Club recently, winning the same award her husband Richard did in the early 1990s. “This is the first time it’s been won by both a husband and wife,” said Ron Taylor, a longtime member of the club. “Elaine was chosen because of her longtime involvement in Lake Country. She was on the parks committee even before we had a municipality. She was on the Okanagan Centre green space committee and has been extremely involved with the Okanagan Centre hall.” Lake Country Mayor James Baker presented the award to Elaine Gibbons at the Oceola club’s meeting April 21. “The Gibbons have been community people for years and have put a lot of hours into the community,” said Taylor. The annual Sax Koyama Citizen of the Year award has been handed out since the 1980s and is in memory of Sax Koyama. “Sax was a member of the fish and game club and the United Church. He was a volunteer fireman and always was available to help anyone anytime,” said Taylor. “Sometimes he was asked and sometimes not, he would just do things. That’s what the club has based the award on.”

Lake City Casino is dedicating the month of May to a Vernon organization. May is North Okanagan Neurological Association (NONA) month at the casino. NONA is raising $1.6 million to build a new clubhouse, which will be a purpose-built development centre with dedicated space and therapy rooms that will service approximately 55 children and youth each day. “Lake City Casino has pledged to raise a minimum of $10,000 toward this project,” said general manager Ryan Doherty.

It’s fresh, local and full of flavour Cathi Litzenberger
Morning Star Columnist
I was torn between choosing asparagus or rhubarb for May’s special and finally decided to offer recipes from both since they are in abundance right now. Rhubarb lends itself to everything from drinks, chutneys, baking of all sorts, sauces, ice creams and an array of other desserts far too many to mention. And you just can’t beat the flavour and nutrition of fresh locally grown asparagus. Today’s recipes include a rosy rhubarb syrup, a great way to enjoy fresh rhubarb in the spring, but also delicious when made with frozen rhubarb year-round. Use the syrup as the base for fancy drinks, or mix with club soda or your favourite sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail. The rhubarb crisp is lovely with a hint of ginger, a custard filling that is soft and creamy plus it has a nice crunch to the topping. I’m always looking for easy breakfast recipes for special occasions or just for a change and the eggs benedict with asparagus is sure to become a family favourite. The last recipe is a fiveingredient asparagus pasta that’s easy to make and full of absolutely amazing flavour! Rhubarb Syrup 4 cups sliced fresh or thawed frozen rhubarb 1 cup granulated sugar 1 strip lemon rind In saucepan over medium-high heat, bring rhubarb, sugar, 1 cup water and lemon rind to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb breaks down and mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Strain into bowl, pressing solids gently to extract liquid; discard solids. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days. Or can be canned or frozen for future use. Ginger-Orange Rhubarb Crisp 1 cup white sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 beaten eggs Zest from 1 orange 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root 8 cups chopped rhubarb 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup salted butter 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2 cups rolled oats Move an oven rack to the centre of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175

Fresh, seasonal asparagus meets bacon and parmesan cheese in this delicious pasta dish. degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Mix the white sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, salt, eggs, orange zest and ginger together in a bowl until well-combined; stir in the rhubarb. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Thoroughly combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon by pulsing in food processor or blender. Stir in oatmeal; crumble the oatmeal mixture over the rhubarb. Gently pat topping down to make a crust. Bake on the centre rack of preheated oven until the topping is lightly golden, the rhubarb has fallen apart, and the juices are very thick and bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Check frequently after 30 minutes to see if bubbles are thick.
Eggs Benedict with Asparagus 4 slices thick-cut bacon 1 bunch of asparagus, cleaned and trimmed 2 teaspoons olive oil 4 eggs 2 English muffins, cut in half (optional) Hollandaise sauce (pkg., pre-prepared or from scratch) Salt and pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. Place bacon and asparagus on a fully rimmed baking sheet (edges on all four sides) that has been topped with a cooling rack. Drizzle olive oil over asparagus. Bake until asparagus is tender-crisp (about 10
minutes, but check it). Leave bacon until it is cooked through and browned, about 15 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of water to each indentation of the muffin tin. Crack an egg into each indentation, taking care not to break the yolk of the egg. Place in the oven along with the bacon for the last 9-10 minutes of cooking. Place English muffins on another baking sheet. Spread with butter and place in oven to heat at the same time as adding eggs. As your bacon, eggs and muffins are baking, prepare your hollandaise sauce. Pour into a serving container. Note: Eggs should finish with firm whites and soft yolks. To assemble Eggs Benedict, place English muffins on each plate, top with some asparagus and one slice of bacon. Using a silicon spatula, gently remove a poached egg from the muffin tin, draining on a thick kitchen towel before placing on top of the bacon. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm. Vegetarians can omit the bacon! Bacon-Asparagus Pasta 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) uncooked pasta (I used linguine) 1/2 lb. (about 8 strips) uncooked bacon, diced 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) fresh asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces 1/2 cup dry white wine (or you can use chicken stock if you’d like) 1/2 cup grated or flaked Parmesan cheese Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water al dente according to package instructions. Meanwhile, add bacon to a medium sauté pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add asparagus to the pan and sauté in the bacon grease for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked. Remove asparagus with a slotted spoon, and set aside with the bacon. Slowly add the white wine to the pan, and scape the bottom of the pan with a spoon to deglaze the pan and pick up all of those yummy brown bits. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by about half. When the pasta is cooked, drain it. Then add the pasta, asparagus, bacon and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the pan, and toss until combined. Sprinkle pasta with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve immediately. If the pasta seems too dry, add in 1/4 cup of the pasta water after adding in the asparagus and bacon and toss to combine.

Journey has artist crossing many boundaries From the Revolutionaries to the Four Corners, to Nordstrom department stores across North America, Bryan Ryley’s art is an exploration Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
He sits there proud, wide-brimmed sombrero upon his head, mustache waxed to two fine points, and a bandolier wrapped across his chest. It’s an image from the Mexican Revolution of poor farmer Emiliano Zapata who stood up against the 35-year regime of President Porfirio An image of Zapata peers Diaz. out from one of Ryley’s Immortalized Revolution collages. in the Marlon Brando film Viva Zapata, this peasant from the state of Chiapas and his Liberation Army of the South, later to be known as the Zapatistas, stood up for land reform, an issue that Mexican farmers are still fighting for to this day, until his assassination in 1919. The image of Zapata may ring familiar to those who visited Vernon’s Triumph Coffee last year. On the walls was a photograph of the Mexican revolutionary among other photos, placed upon large collages painted in acrylics by acclaimed Vernon artist Bryan Ryley. At the time, Ryley was exploring revolutionary figures such as Nicaraguan Augusto Nicolás Sandino, Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevera, Zapata and others. His intrigue about these men surfaced after he and his wife, Margaret, paid a visit to Mexico City. “There is a belief by the people in the city, a sense of democracy, because of the Revolution,” said Ryley, who currently has a new exhibition up at Triumph. “The one thing that struck me was the great celebration there; the murals, the dancing, and the parks full of families.” While in Mexico City, Ryley was able to witness a demonstration by peasant farmers protesting the federal government about their land being taken away by mul-
tinational corporations. “I went and photographed it. There were these Rubenesque naked Mexican women in the spotlight and men with torches and the only other people there were the cops,” said Ryley. “What intrigued me was the traffic that was moving back and forth; no one was paying attention.” Ryley used a large four-by-eight-foot flatbed printer to print the material for his collages. “It prints up to two-inch thick material. You can put relief (a process where protruding surface faces of the printing plate or block are inked, while recessed areas are ink free) and it makes the surfaces less sharp and more sharp in areas.” Ryley’s explorations have taken him further abroad. In India, he observed naked holy men (sādhu) covered in ash bathing in the Ganges River, a Hindu ritual to wash away sin. “It made me think about how when we see someone other than us, who is different, we tend to want to push or wash them away. It’s come up now with the refugees and what’s happening in the world, where people are being maligned,” said Ryley. Another series of paintings, entitled Four Corners, which can currently be seen at Triumph, came after Ryley spent three months in Spain and Italy. While there, he studied cruciforms and the modern paintings at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid. However, his explorations were cut short when he became ill in Tuscany. “I ended up on the couch and when we came back, I spent six weeks in bed,” said Ryley. “When I started feeling better, I got a piece of paper out and started filling in the four corners of the paper and a cruciform came up.” To create his works, Ryley uses a technique of standing above the canvas – he uses a special plywood platform if the canvas is large – then pulls the paint with a squeegee along the surface in a multilayered fashion. This is so the dust doesn’t settle, he says. In Four Corners, each painting came out differently – some were reflective of the Jerusalem, or Crusaders’ cross. “The idea of Four Corners was thinking of how the Crusaders moved from Europe to the east. One painting, Shopping in Baghdad, features pinstripes like those in a Ralph Lauren suit, and the crucifix has bullet holes... It shows how crusadership is like consumerism. “Every painting is autonomous from an event. I follow a journey in my work... Being creative doesn’t come from advan-

Change doesn’t happen unless you are going against the grain.” But an artist also needs to make a living. So when Ryley, whose work has been shown in galleries, private collections and in corporate commissions in just about every major city in Canada and the U.S., was contacted by one of North America’s largest department stores to do a major commission, he couldn’t refuse. Three years ago, Ryley was approached by his art dealer in Vancouver who said an art buyer from Nordstrom department stores had seen his work and wanted to see more. After images of his paintings were submitted, he was commissioned to paint four large paintings for Nordstrom stores in Houston, Jacksonville, Ottawa and Calgary – the only Canadian artist to receive such a commission. “I finished the work two years ago thinking it was a great gig, and that would
be it, but Nordstrom kept coming back with a vengeance. They wanted 12 new paintings and wanted five more for their new Vancouver store,” said Ryley. “I approached both my dealers about this and asked, ‘is this normal?’ They both answered, ‘no.’” Ryley has since delivered more paintings to the chain, including five to their flagship store in Seattle, five to Venice Beach, three to Racine, Wisc. and three to Minneapolis. “Many of them are in the women’s shoes departments, where the goods are all on the lower racks, so my work is front and centre. It’s great exposure,” he said. “The stores are really tastefully done and the team they have are so good to work with.” Ryley’s latest commission is a 10-by-seven-foot painting to go along with two others he has painted for Nordstrom’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre location in Toronto. His work at Triumph Coffee in Vernon can be viewed for the next month.

choral music a cappella in four-part harmony from the Renaissance period to contemporary ensemble with roots in the 1600s. Both choirs have openings for new members, where singers can gain experience with Moore, a classically trained tenor who has performed in operas and rock bands. Whether it be in a private lesson or in a choir, Moore combines specific breathing techniques and visualization of the sound, allowing his students to increase the quality of their singing. He provides this unique and powerful technique using a gentle and encouraging manner. “We invite you to listen and perhaps to reawaken a hidden talent or to start exploring a new passion,” said Moore. Both concerts start at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller. Call 250-5497469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door.

HEALTH TIP
Young talent is all grown up
A former Our Kids Have Talent contestant, who made it into the top 10 of the now defunct Vernon music competition, has been hitting the music scene hard for the last several years. Okanagan-born and raised musician Jeff Piattelli has been hard at work writing new songs, original compositions that he is taking out to play live for the first time, including later this month at the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. Known more as a solo performer, Piattelli, who has opened for Vernon’s Andrew Allen, will be joined by a full band and will be performing a wide variety of music, some old for longtime fans and some new for those just discovering his songwriting talents. Proceeds from his May 28 Lake Country performance at 7:30 p.m. will go to the Downtown Youth Centre in Kelowna. “I think it’s important that kids have somewhere to go and people to look up to in their life,” said Piattelli. Tickets are $15 and can be reserved by calling 250-766-9309.

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist
Here’s a statistic that might be motivating to lose a few pounds of weight. For every 10 kg (22 lb) of extra body fat, there are many kilometres of extra blood vessels through which blood must be pumped. A lot of extra work on the heart. Some research tells us that many people started on a drug to reduce their blood pressure stop them within six months. The reasons could be some side effects of the drug (like frequent urination, dizziness) or simply because high blood pressure generally has no symptoms. But left unchecked, it can put great pressure on your blood vessels, heart and kidneys and cause serious problems in the future. There are many reasons why some people have problems sleeping. One of them could be napping in the daytime. However, for some, a quick nap during the day can be quite rejuvenating. But here’s the warning: make the nap no longer than 20 minutes otherwise the longer nap may interfere with a good sleep at night. Health Canada says that buying drugs on-line could put your health at serious risk. There is often no way of knowing where these dispensaries are located, where they get their drugs or even if what they say is in the drug is the actual drug. When it comes to your health, it is best to associate with people you know... people you can talk to face to face. We would be happy to be the face for all your pharmacy needs. Drop in and see us soon.

Coldstream’s Heidi Thompson is spreading sunshine at the Kelowna airport Morning Star Staff
Those departing for a flight at the Kelowna International Airport in the next few months will get one last dose of Okanagan sunshine, thanks to a local artist. Coldstream’s Heidi Thompson has just had five of her abstract paintings, inspired by the Okanagan’s hot summers, dry grasslands, and radiant sunsets, installed in the Kelowna Art Gallery’s satellite space at the Kelowna airport. The installation, entitled OK Sunshine, is located in the departure hall at the airport until Nov. 7. “I felt honoured to be invited by the Kelowna Art Gallery to create a series of paintings that would hang at the Kelowna airport,” said Thompson. “I love the airport venue – a 40-foot wall at the entrance to the security gate – as it exposes the work to thousands of travellers from around the world who might otherwise not have seen them.” Kelowna Art Gallery curator Liz Wylie and her assistants installed the exhibit this past week, which Thompson says was quite a task. “It felt great to have a team working together. The opportu-

It was not easy to create a unified body of large-size pieces that worked as a whole. I certainly felt challenged and had to do several attempts at each piece before I was happy,” she said. The end result, a multi-panelled installation to convey the feeling and quality of the light in the Okanagan summer, certainly stands out in its textured bright yellow and gold colours. Thompson says she has strived to express not only the natural beauty of the valley, but more profoundly, provide a mirror of our joyful spirits and
inner light. “The paintings remind travellers that no matter where their journey takes them, they will always carry along the most beautiful place in the world – their land of inner sunshine,” she said. Thompson was born in Vernon and has lived in Coldstream since 1982, where she has worked as an art educator and illustrator. She was trained in Europe in the 1970s and ‘80s, and continues to work as an abstract painter. She is also the editor of the award-winning book Recapitulation: A Journey, by Sveva Caetani.
Panel of five paintings by Heidi Thompson, entitled Okanagan Sunshine, can now be viewed in the departure hall before the security gate at the Kelowna International Airport.

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 YOU BID FIRST, DOUBLE LATER John le Carre, the best-selling author of espionage novels, eight featuring George Smiley, said, “Once you’ve lived the inside-out world of espionage, you never shed it. It’s a mentality, a double standard of existence.” At the bridge table, it is tough to act like a secret agent because you must explain your methods to the opponents. There are no secret mail drops for partner only. But sometimes you can spring a surprise on the opponents, by which time it might be too late for them to reach their safe house. In this deal, East opens one spade, South overcalls one no-trump (showing 15-plus to 18-minus points), West passes,
and North raises to three notrump. Just when everyone thinks the auction is over, East jumps out of his hiding place with a double. What does that mean? It must be for penalty, but what else? Some pairs play that it demands a spade lead, the suit bid by East. I think that is wrong, because what was West going to lead before the double? Right -- a spade. The double is needed to ask partner to lead a different suit, one where East is hoping to defeat the contract. In this auction, a heart lead should stand out. North-South did not try to locate a 4-4 or 5-3 heart fit, and it is West’s shortest suit.
Note that after a heart lead, East takes the first five tricks for down one. If West leads a spade, though, South wins 11 tricks. Are you wondering about South’s running to four diamonds? Yes, he can make that (if North passes), but minus 130 is still a lot cheaper than minus 660.
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 the ultimate e will be chosen prize of up to $1500 in prizes and full VIP access to the Abbotsford International gust 12-14, 2016. Airshow, August

Lisa June Matutat Lisa June Matutat, our dear Sister, passed away on Saturday May 7, 2016, to be with the Lord Jesus and her father Al that predeceased her in 2008 Lisa was born in St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver to her parents Al and Grace on March 24, 1965. She is survived by her mother Grace, and her siblings Scott, Marla, Loretta, and their families.
In respecting Len’s wishes, he was cremated and no funeral service will be held. The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Pritchett, Dr. Kadar and the staff at the Sage unit at Noric House for the wonderful care given to Len.
Lisa was raised on a farm, and was always up to some shenanigans. Her together with Scott and Marla would climb up our huge 10,000 bale hay pile, and then pull the ladder up to prevent Loretta, her youngest sister, from climbing up. As kids, we amused ourselves playing 4H, and this entailed taking my Dad’s saw horses, setting them up with a two-by-four like we were at a horse jumping competition, and leading our animals around them. We would start with the calves, then our dogs, then our goats. We had a pack of dogs, and Lisa’s was named Hunter. Not that unusual since the other dogs were Rancher, Bearpaw, Moosie, and Ringo. Our goats were equally lucky in the name department. Our nanny goat had 3 kids, and we named them Bibbity, Bobbity, and Boo. Lisa’s was Boo. In typical form Loretta and Marla’s goats were plain white, but Lisa’s goat was grey and black, with little black horns. A very cheeky goat. The family moved from Creston B.C. to Vernon B.C. in 1979. Lisa’s interests in high school were sports and singing. She loved Basketball, and received awards for Choir in grade 12. She was the B.C. Shotput Champion in 1983. She graduated from Vernon Senior Secondary in 1983, and wrote and sang her song “Grad 83 Sets Us Free” at the graduation ceremonies. After Graduation, Lisa moved to Toronto to pursue her dream of Modelling. And always, she continued to sing and play her guitar. She recorded a CD of her own music, and called herself Gypsy. A bad car accident in Provost eventually brought her and her dog Polar back to B.C., and to Penticton, which she made her home. She had many friends here, some going back as far as 25 years, like her friend Tracey Eastman, and most recently she was busy laying sod in her backyard, planting lilacs, and had her garden already in.
Len will be forever missed by his wife Marguerite, his son Ken and by his daughter Wendy. Miss you Pops!
It is with heavy hearts that we lay our Sister to rest. May God bless and keep her. She will be missed.
Cremation arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605 27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 • (250) 542-1187
A Funeral Service will be held on May 20th at 1:30 pm at Providence Funeral Home, 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland, BC
Len will be lovingly remembered by his wife Marguerite of Coldstream, B.C., his son Ken of Coldstream, B.C., his daughter Wendy (Dan) of Squamish, B.C., his sisters Elsie (Don) Saunders of West Vancouver, B.C. and Liz (Dave) Buckham of Richmond, B.C. along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Nick Zubyk and by his sister-in-law, Marion Cave.

Wayne Morley Lundquist
It is with immense sadness that the family of Wayne Morley Lundquist announce his sudden passing on May 1, 2016 in Victoria, BC. He was the beloved husband of 46 years to Sharon, devoted Father to Shayne (Dawn) Lundquist & Renée (Rick) Nelson, and Cherished Papa to Kira, Reid & Nevyn. Wayne is survived by his brother Jack (Maureen) Lundquist & sister Sharon Whittla (Tony Keeler), sister-in-laws Gwen Lundquist & Jean Lundquist. He was predeceased by his parents Lloyd & Vera Lundquist, brothers Carl Lundquist & David Lundquist. Wayne was born in Saskatchewan, and throughout his 80 years, enjoyed life to the fullest. He worked as an accountant for many companies, in a variety of cities, finally settling in Vernon, BC in 1979 with his young family, working for DCT Chambers Trucking. After his retirement in 2000, he enjoyed travelling with his family to a variety of tropical destinations, especially Mexico. Proud of his Scottish heritage, Wayne was a member of the Vernon Scottish Country Dancers. He was known to enjoy the odd Scotch and attended many Highland Games & Sons of Scotland events. He was fortunate to have an amazing group of friends, and together they celebrated at every opportunity. He was always willing to lend a hand. Over the years he could be found at swim meets, highland dance competitions, Beavers meetings, at the Vernon Restholm, or assisting family & friends with projects. Wayne was a loving, kind, thoughtful, understanding, patient & gentle soul. His caring spirit will be deeply missed by all whose lives he touched. A private memorial will be held Friday, May 20, 2016. A celebration to honor Wayne will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2016 1 - 4pm at Elks Hall 3103 30th Street, Vernon, BC. In lieu of flowers, plan a BBQ with friends & family, save for a vacation or do that one thing that you’ve always wanted to do together. Wayne would have liked nothing more than for everyone to enjoy their loved ones & the memories that you can make together. “In one of the stars I shall be living, In one of them I shall be laughing, And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.” ~ The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Dayboll, Joshua R. It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Joshua R. Dayboll of Vernon, British Columbia at 37 years old. Josh was born Jan. 19, 1979 in Penticton B.C. He attended school in Vernon, B.C. where he excelled academically and played several school sports. He graduated from Kalamalka Secondary School in 1997 and received the ‘Top All-Round Student’ and was awarded the President’s Entrance Scholarship to UBC Okanagan. Josh graduated from the University of British Columbia in 2002 with an Economics Major and English Minor and received Golden Key National Honour Society that recognizes students who are academically in the top of their class. Josh had an exciting and successful career that began locally at Silver Star Resort and Predator Ridge Golf Course. Josh was a formidable and well regarded leader. His interpersonal and organization skills served him well. He was an experienced Executive Officer with Carnival and Princess Cruises with over a decade of experience and rapid career progression, working his way up from Jr. Assistant Cruise Director to Cruise Director and ultimately Hotel Director and Director of Hotel Services. Josh always made the most of life. He was either on top of a mountain cutting fresh powder on his snowboard, quadding outdoors with friends, or running the stairs at Fintry Prov. Park. Josh loved adventure and delighted in experiences like sled dog tours in Alaska, zip lining in Mexico, exploring tropical beaches, sight seeing around the world, to more risky but arguably more fun things like heli-skiing, sky diving, and scuba diving. If the award existed, Josh would be honoured with the”Top all-round Person” award. He was personable and funny, the kind of man, the kind of leader that people looked up to and wanted to aspire to be like. He was smart, strategic and visionary and an exceptional problem solver. But what we loved and will miss most was his infinite capacity to make others laugh, his contagious smile, and his love for and commitment to family and friends, both locally and all around the world. Josh will be deeply missed by his mother, Lynne Pentland and his sister Jonina (Andrew) Campbell, nephew Matthew, and nieces, Sophie & Sadie Campbell whom he loved and adored. Josh will also be missed by his father Bob (Jaye) Dayboll and step-brother Dennis (Melissa & Nola). Josh had a big family and he will be missed by many aunts & uncles, cousins and friends. Josh is preceded in death by his beautiful sister Leah Dayboll and grandparents, Ned & Esther Pentland and Betty and Allan Dayboll. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Drive, Vernon, BC on Friday, May 20th at 1:30p.m. Contributions in memory of Josh may be made to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation (VJH).

Beatrice Mary Blandford October 30, 1918 April 29, 2016. After a two year battle with cancer I said goodbye to my beloved mother and best friend. Mom was born on a farm in Esterhazy, Sask. to Mike and Rose Junek and remained there with her five other siblings until the age of 22. She then enlisted in the R.C.A.F. with the need to serve her country in any way she could. Mom was the kindest person I have ever known. She would go out of her way to help people and animals in any way she could without complaint.

LEO EVERETT
HEADINGTON passed away peacefully May 10, 2016 at Monashee Mews, Lumby BC.
Dad was born August 29, 1918 near Kuroki, Saskatchewan. At 21, he drove the family out to the Okanagan where he heard life was easier, where apples were falling off the trees! They settled in a cabin along Mabel Lake Road and he went to work for the Van de Putte’s where he met his future wife Gabrielle. He enlisted in the Army and in August 1942 went overseas with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. On return from the war Dad married Gabrielle on July 31, 1947. In October 1952 they purchased the farm on Whitevale Road. Leo was always close to the land, tending the fields, milking cows, raising hogs and beef cattle. To help support his growing family he also worked at Lumby Timber, purchased and drove a school bus, and purchased and managed Leo’s Esso gas station. He will be greatly missed by daughters Judy Gibbs and son Todd (Laura) and Charlotte Ogasawara (Dave) and sons Bradley (Jennifer) and Brett (Marissa). Son-in Law Jerry White (Lauri) and daughters Nicole and Kara, daughter-in-law Terry Headington and daughters Lindsay (Cale), Jill (Brad), Ashley (Jeremy), Vanessa (Cody). He will also be missed by 11 great - grandchildren. Leo is predeceased by his wife Gaye, son Russell, daughter Chrissy, son-in-law Randy Gibbs, sisters Mona Jacobs, Evelyn Mazepa and Janice Woodhouse, and his wife Kate Flahr. Thank you to Dad’s “sweethearts” at Monashee Mews who loved and cared for him for the last 3 years. We will forever be grateful. A Celebration of Life will be held on May 20, 2016 at 2:00 PM at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Lumby, BC.
Sochan, Caroline Hope May 10, 1942 - January 17, 2016
Carol was the youngest of nineteen children. She was predeceased by her parents, Martin and Josephine Genoway, as well as many of her siblings. Carol was also predeceased by her husband, Paul, in 2000 and by two infant children, Dennis and Valerie. She is survived by four sons: Ken (Patricia), Glen (Bonnie), Darryl (Karen), and Darcy (Cheryl). She had eleven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren – with one more on the way. In lieu of flowers, those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Carol may do so to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation or to a charity of personal choice.

Land Use Map
What is an OCP? An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a set of objectives and policies outlining how land will be used in a community over the long term. Coldstream’s Plan focuses on preserving community amenities, its rural setting, beautiful vistas, small-town feel and recreational opportunities. The Plan also addresses growth issues like urban sprawl, greenhouse gas reduction, infrastructure expansion and the protection of agricultural land. Provincial legislation stipulates specific information that must be included in an OCP. Matters such as future land use, hazardous or environmentally sensitive lands, infrastructure and GHG reduction.
Coldstream Valley Development Permit Area Map
Coldstream Valley Development Permit Area A new development permit area is established to address development of land that has high ecological value, or land that is potentially hazardous and may require special construction techniques. Prior to being developed, people who own land within these areas should contact the District of Coldstream Office to determine if the proposal will need to address environmental or hazard issues. Agricultural activities or developments that have minor impacts are exempt from development permit requirements. If you own land in this permit area, you may want to review the proposed OCP to see how it may impact the development of your land.
Riparian Development Permit Area Map
Riparian Development Permit Area Development of the District’s many riparian areas is regulated by the guidelines set out in the Riparian Development Permit Area. Riparian lands are the strips of land beside a waterbody that provide important habitat for a number of endangered and threatened species in Coldstream. To comply with provincial fisheries requirements, the District’s riparian development guidelines include provisions for the protection of fish habitat. Anyone considering developing land adjacent to any type of water body should review the proposed OCP to see how it might impact the development of their land.
