City puts heart into helping evacuees Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Vernon is fighting the fire in Fort McMurray with compassion. A collection centre has been established at Cidel Moving and Storage, with Atlas Van Lines shipping product to depots in Calgary and Edmonton for evacuees. Essential items such as toothpaste, tootbrushes, deodorant, brushes, two-inone shampoo, body wash, razors, feminine hygiene products, toilet paper and diapers are a few of the things most needed. “We’ve got a couple of pallets ready to go right now,” said Art Zoethout, Cidel operations manager. “It shows that people care.” The collection was spearheaded by a Vernon resident who works in Fort McMurray and lost her rental townhouse to the fire. “I feel terrible. My tenant lost everything, and he didn’t have insurance,” said Naomi Shaw, who works for Sincrude. She has been off work since the mine shut down and wanted to do something to help. “I’m sitting over here feeling useless.” At first, Shaw started collecting items at her house, but later got in touch with Cidel, which agreed to act as a drop-off location, and Atlas Van Lines, which agreed to ship the items (across Canada both Cidel and Atlas are collecting and shipping items for evacuees). For Shaw, the cause is particularly close to home, not just because of her personal loss, but that of her older sons and ex husband, who lost their home and everything they own. “They (all evacuees) are still needing the basic necessities, it’s going to run out,” said Shaw. “Anything that can be used right now because people left with just the clothes on their back. My son was one of them.” While one of her sons had enough time to pack a few things, his brother was too late to return home. The response of people coming by with items has been amazing.

Shaw’s cousin is one such person, on low-income, whose husband is on disability and who evacuated with her three kids. “She’s worried about phone minutes, she’s worried about food,” said Shaw. Cidel welcomes donations at 2010 43rd St. (behind the waste water treatment plant) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. “We’re not taking furniture or anything like that, it’s just essentials,” said Zoethout. See related article on page A10.
“One woman was almost in tears. She brought four boxes of diapers, baby food and brand new baby toys with the tags still on them,” said Shaw, whose fellow Vernon BMX committee members and parents also pitched in with donations of everything from necessities to pencils and notepads for kids to draw and colour in. “It makes me want to cry,” said Shaw. “Every little thing helps – even if you have one spare toothbrush.” This is particularly true for some of the less fortunate evacuees who don’t have any savings to rely on during this tough

Steady pace as distillery meets demand richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Whisky lovers have Okanagan Spirits bursting at the seams. It was just a year ago that the distillery opened a 16,000-square-foot facility on 24th Street, but the building is already virtually at capacity as consumer demand grows. “We have this big building and we’re out of space,” said Rodney Goodchild, director of marketing and operations. “Business is through the roof. We’re doing numbers twice what they were.” Copper stills have been upgraded to keep up with production, and in one corner, a new venture is unfolding — corn or American whisky. “The first batch, I didn’t cook it long enough. It’s been a learning curve,” said Chris Burke, distiller. It’s anticipated the corn whisky will hit the market early in 2017. “Knowing our consumers, we know there will be a market,” said Goodchild. Along with the American whisky, a batch of single-malt will be released this October and the latest offering of rye will be out before Christmas. About 100 barrels of all whisky types will be produced this year.
“The demand has always been there but we’ve never had the volume,” said Goodchild. “People are clambering hand over fist to get into our store so there is a huge opportunity.” There is also strong interest in the fruit brandies, liqueurs, grappa, aquavit, gin, vodka and absinthe, and the distillery is now open seven days a week. But to keep up with demand, that will require an investment in more equipment and perhaps a dedicated barrel aging room. The key to the business, though, says senior distiller Peter von Hahn, is providing a quality product and anticipating consumer trends. “We have to get ahead of what they are looking for,” he said. The next step may be a smoky-flavoured product from local peat. “We will make a whisky that fights you out and in,” jokes von Hahn. Goodchild insists the owners of the distillery, the Dyck family, are looking to the future and enthusiastic about the growing opportunities, even if it means building space is rather limited. “It’s a good position to be in,” said Goodchild.
Cunningham named Woman of the Year Morning Star Staff
A community advocate has been recognized for her contributions. Juliette Cunningham was named Woman of the Year by Vernon Women in Business Thursday at the Prestige Hotel. “She has served on too many committees and advisories to count because of her passion for the rights of women, children and vulnerable populations,” said Lynne Reside, who nominated Cunningham. Cunningham is a long-time Vernon city councillor and Regional District of North Okanagan director. “She does it all with energy, grace and charm,”

said Reside. “She has made Vernon a better place to live and constantly advocates for better support for all citizens, even when it is a sometimes unpopular issue.” The other nominees were Sareena Nickoli, Jennifer Thompson, Niki Knight, Sandra Patterson, Janice Foster, Karla Ziegler, Sherry Lukey, Becky Martselos, Benita Elliott and Caroline Radics. “Vernon Women in Business takes great pride in ensuring each nominee receives the praise and accolades they deserve,” said Shannon MacNeill, event ashley duggan/keylight PhotograPhy chairperson.

Local leaders nominated Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
The Morning Star and its community partners have been blown away by the number, and quality, of nominations for the inaugural Community Leader Awards. “I’m overwhelmed, it’s unbelievable,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen. A total of 105 submissions were made for the 10 categories which are: Coach, Mentor, Courage, Above and Beyond, Emergency Service, Service Organization Volunteer, Volunteer, Youth Volunteer, Environmental Leader and Community Builder. Now the tough job of choosing the winners has been initiated. “It’s a good problem to have. It just shows how great this community is,” said Jensen. The more than 20 community partners, ranging from local charity heads to the police chief, will determine a top honour and two honourable mentions in each category. The top three nominees will be notified over the next couple of weeks, but the decision of top honour will not be revealed until the awards gala June 8 at Durali Villa in Vernon.

Hullcar farmers issued orders ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The Ministry of Environment has issued draft pollution abatement orders to several agricultural operations in Spallumcheen’s Hullcar Valley. Based on recent inspections and water quality information, the ministry says there is a reasonable likelihood the operations are contributing to the elevated nitrate levels in the Hullcar aquifer, which has been under a water quality advisory for two years. A ministry spokesperson confirmed one of the orders given was to a large dairy farm residents believe is the “likely source” of the high nitrate levels due to its spraying of liquid manure. These draft pollution abatement
orders, issued under the Environmental Management Act, require agricultural operators to do several things to better manage manure. Smaller operators are required to establish proper storage of manure, including field storage and appropriate setbacks; develop functioning on-site drainage management to contain any agricultural waste; and establish a buffer area around wellheads, property boundaries and surface water. The draft orders require poultry operators to report to the ministry how manure is being used and publicly post all material covered under the order at Hullcar Community Hall. Four larger operators, including the one with the “field of concern,” located
above the aquifer, were provided with different draft orders that require more detailed plans including monitoring and an environmental impact assessment. They must present an action plan showing how the introduction of agricultural waste to the environment will be minimized; an ongoing monitoring plan for surface water, groundwater and soil samples; and an annual report and ongoing updates to the action plan. Close to 200 residents are part of the Steele Springs Water District who, along with members of the Save Hullcar Aquifer Team, have asked the government to order a complete and permanent moratorium on the application of liquid manure on the “field of concern,” which is 210 acres in size.

A Good Samaritan kept a Vernon house fire from getting out of control. On Wednesday at about 9:47 a.m., a motorist noticed flames coming from the deck of a house in the 4700 block of Heritage Drive. “The witness banged on the door, notified the tenant and the tenant grabbed the garden hose,” said Jack Blair, Vernon fire chief. “He was able to knock it down.” Firefighters ensured the blaze was completely out and they vented the building. “There is minor smoke damage to the interior,” said Blair.

Fire threat requires action
Driving the point home
ut your hand up if you feel nervous about your kid(s) walking to the bus stop or school. Do you cringe every time you have to pedal your bike along a busy road in town? I feel your pain. This is not the confession of a helicopter parent who cannot handle giving her children their much needed independence, or someone who loathes outdoor recreation. Heck, I would love to boot my kids out the door in the mornat random ing and not see their Kristin Froneman smiling faces again until the sun sets. In fact, I would love to join them on a leisurely bike ride around town every day. But we live in a different world, and this world includes way too many distracted and speeding drivers. Can’t we figure out by now that an average 4,000-pound heap of steel, aluminum, copper, glass, and rubber, steered by a distracted person in a rush, is as dangerous as a sniper in a war zone. A human on foot, or two wheels, doesn’t stand a chance against a moving vehicle.
Published by Black Press Ltd at 4407 - 25th Ave. Vernon, B.C.
A paramedic recently told a friend of mine that if someone was to run 20 feet full force into a closed garage door, it would be the same as someone being hit by a car that is barely moving. The carnage caused would be similar. I see scary driving on a daily basis, as I live only a few blocks away from a local high school. Gone are the days when those “lollipop” men and women, with their stop signs and reflective clothing, steered school children across busy avenues. Nowadays, you basically have to stand at the side of the street jumping up and down to get a driver’s attention to slow down and stop. I know because I have had to do this myself on more than one occasion at our local crosswalk. I have also resorted to what could be deemed as child abuse – grabbing the back of my poor kids’ collar, practically choking him, or side swiping my daughter with the old fashioned version of a seat belt – that being my arm – to stop them from stepping off the curb as some harried driver flies by at 60 kilometres an hour - in a school zone. It’s getting really frustrating. My kids, who are eight and 11, are at an age where they really don’t want their crazy, paranoid mother following them to school everyday. They are starting to leave without me, and who can blame them?

But I don’t think I’m being paranoid, as I have seen, and heard of, too many close calls. Last Friday, one of our local seniors, a pedestrian, was hit by a car at a crosswalk. We don’t know all the details yet, but it happened in broad daylight. Thank goodness this person survived the ordeal. Then there were the two cyclists travelling along Buchanan Road who were hit by a car and thrown from their bikes. One of the cyclists suffered a concussion. I realize that police resources are stretched pretty thin and they obviously can’t be at every school zone or monitoring every street. But perhaps the city or school board could help out a little, whether gathering volunteers to man busy school crosswalks, or improve some bike lanes and crosswalks by re-painting them every year, or adding lights, bells and whistles – whatever it takes. Maybe we should get more realistic with our signage: “Watch the road, not your cell phone!” “If you go over 30 kilometres in a school zone, you may kill a kid.” “See that bike on the side of the road? It has just as much right to be here as you do.” Or maybe we, as drivers, should start slowing down and looking ahead before another pedestrian or cyclist gets hurt, or is killed.

Predator Ridge residents obviously aren’t willing to sit back and wait for disaster. It was recognized that the area could be impacted by wildfire so a committee was formed to tackle the issue head on. “As the wildfire situation in Fort McMurray and other wildfires in the Okanagan in recent years show, it is time for our community to take some action in order to mitigate damage to our homes in the urban wildlife area,” said Mark Goode, committee member. Dead branches and pine cones have been removed and trees have been thinned within 10 metres of homes. Obviously all of the hard work in the world won’t stop a wildfire, but any attempt to minimize the potential risk is welcome, particularly given that so much of the North Okanagan is within the interface zone, whether it’s the BX, Cherryville, Kingfisher, the North Westside or Okanagan Landing. The Predator Ridge committee is holding an open house Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and we would encourage residents there and throughout the region to learn more about the benefits of being fire smart. A disaster similar to the one in Fort McMurray is highly plausible in the North OkanaganShuswap so we all need to work together to keep our communities safe.

Wrong decision
just wanted to comment on what is happening to our Spallumcheen speedway. I think the courts made a huge mistake even letting this lawsuit go to court. The municipality allowed the race track to be built and the person that owns it has invested a substantial amount of money to run this business. Now that could be in jeopardy. So what ends up happening there will probably be more lawsuits and eventually it will put these people out of business and gone will be our race track. It is not like they run races every day. It is
amphitheatre opposed We have discussed this amphitheatre proposal and we should learn from the past in planning the future. We were one of the first to build on the hillside south of the Kickwillie, and it was just an open grass hillside, but was promoted as a preferred real estate development. The syndicate selling the property requested that buyers not do or build anything that would conflict with the view or the preferred nature of the property. In our knowledge, putting something on clay land and base is a questionable action. This proposed amphitheatre at full capacity would put many tons of weight on a relatively small surface. After several years, this slope could start sliding down towards Kickwillie Loop. From what we've read of other big shows such as rock concerts in Merrit and the fireworks show in Vancouver,tons of garbage and paper are left behind, and we are not looking forward to picking this up off our backyard. Would the promoter, want this in her backyard and pick up what is left behind? Parking will be a major problem with a major proposal like this, of about 5,500 people. Is there a need for this large a facility? The Okanagan Symphony, which is excellent for its size, has had trouble filling the Peforming Arts Centre. Likewise, North Okanagan Community Concerts and they have been operational for years. On the few times a year the Kal Tire Centre is full, every parking spot is used. This proposal anticipates twice that number, so parking will be a very major problem.
a great way for a family to spend an evening, and I think the few times in the summer that there is noise, people should be able to put up with it. No one should be able to take someone's livelihood away. As far as sales being down at Lawrence Heights, sales are down every where because of our economy and I don't think the race track is what is affecting it. Are we becoming like the U.S. where we sue for everything? It is a very sad day when a few can ruin things for all. Carmen Bunnah
The streets in the residential area are narrow lanes not suitable for onstreet parking and the shoulders are not improved. We would expect any parking south and east of the Kickwillie would provide concerns for emergency vehicle use. We will expect Coldstream council to prohibit any street parking south and east of the college. Another major problem is sound distribution. We expect the proponents will get engineers who will say it is not a problem and it will really just go out into the lake. Our knowledge is that sound travels on air waves. When Funtastic has its concerts on the west side of the army camp, we don't hear it if the breeze is flowing to the west. Otherwise, we hear it quite clearly but only two nights a year. Our point is that the wind or breeze is frequently changing with the sound going accordingly. In the evening, it does change direction several times and could do so during a concert. We will not vote for any politician or councillor who supports this proposal in any way at this location. In brief, we are totally opposed to this project at this location. However, there are several other sites we can think of and suggest. Why not consider placing this on the east end of the University of B.C. Okanagan just above Highway 97. The noise and parking shouldn't affect the airport and the project could be connected with the music department of UBCO. Another location would be near Kal Tire Place where there is much room for parking and much accommodation nearby. From what we've read, the project

approach to this development has been almost dictatorial with not wanting any local input. It won't be welcomed as far as many citizens are concerned and we hope the promoters will welcome and listen to the local people who will be very affected by this project. Aubrey and Bev Reed quarrY response I am writing in response to an article published May 8 in The Morning Star. The quarry referred to is mine. It is a fully licensed quarry and is 100 per cent compliant with its licensing restrictions and all Mines Act regulations. Rock extraction and limited processing are also permitted by the municipal zoning bylaws that apply to the quarry site, which is zoned large holdings. Putting those facts to one side, the story neglects to mention the fact that no blasting has occurred at the quarry since December 2015 and rock crushing has occurred three days so far this year. The so-called problems associated with rock crushing, identified as "inappropriate noise" and "clouds of dust" have no basis in reality with respect to my extremely small operation, where the crushing equipment is silent the vast bulk of the time. We are strictly regulated by the Ministry of Energy for the region, which periodically visits the site to monitor and enforce safety issues. Under the Mines Act, no one else has jurisdiction over quarry inspection. On one occasion, an accident was narrowly averted when the municipal bylaw officer was sent to visit the site and parked her vehicle behind an
C l ie nt
operational piece of heavy equipment. There have been communications between my lawyer and Spallumcheen's lawyer, in which I have very clearly expressed by willingness and efforts to work within the bylaws. The reports of "non-compliance" are unfair and incorrect. It has been my understanding that news reporters had an obligation to report stories without being tainted by bias. No effort that I know of was made to contact me and obtain my reply to these claims. Bruce Schartner, owner Bee-Jay's Excavating

Vernon residents have opened their hearts and wallets to help Fort McMurray. In just four hours Tuesday morning, more than $17,895 was raised at the downtown Vernon Safeway’s drive-thru breakfast as hundreds came out to lend their support. To top it off, Safeway will be matching those funds dollar-for-dollar, which will go to Red Cross for Fort McMurray relief effort. “This was a remarkable community effort,” said Craig Dickson, Safeway store manager. From crumpled up $5 bills to a couple $1,000 donations, support came community wide.

“This was a remarkable community effort.” — Craig Dickson
organizations such as the Sikh Temple, came to help the wildfire victims. Their hearts go out to all those impacted and many stories were shared of both tragedy and luck of families and friends affected. Former Fort McMurray residents Jim and Sandy Walowski, now Vernonites, were obviously very touched by the cause, so it was a nobrainer of where to get their morning coffee and breakfast Tuesday. “We have family there,” said Sandy, while Jim added: “but their place didn’t get touched fortunately.” Kamloops resident Ken Crockett was just driving through when he heard about the fundraiser on the radio and decided to pull in. “I challenge all other contractors to make a donation,” said Crockett, who handed over a crisp red bill. The Vernon Fire Department helped pack breakfast bags and serve coffee, along with a host of Safeway staff, and even a few customers, happy to start the day off right for the cause. Safeway continues to accept donations for fire victims.

Transit on city’s radar RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
More buses could hit the road in Vernon. On Monday, a majority of city council agreed in principle to add 7,000 transit hours in March 2018 and 3,500 transit hours in September 2018. “A lot of people would like to use transit but a lack of frequency makes it difficult,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. “If we have a half-decent transit system, people will Cunningham avail themselves of it.” Opposition came from Councillors Bob Spiers, Dalvir Nahal and Scott Anderson. “We have been building it (system) for years and they haven’t come,” said Anderson of riders and empty buses. That comment brought a sharp response from Cunningham. “This is a plan for the future. We need to show some indication that we’re in the game or not,” she said. “I don’t understand the resistance to this alternative (transportation). There are people where this is their only way to get around.” As part of the plan, council agreed in principle
to increase the operating expenditures beyond the standard 1.8 per cent operating increase for transit in 2018.

Okanagan politicians have challenged each other and their residents to conserve water. Make Water Work is being promoted by the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “Last year’s experience with drought, and previous drought years, has shown us the importance of working together in the Okanagan on water conservation efforts, where the water is all connected,” said Doug Findlater, OBWB chairperson. “I’m proud to personally take the Make Water Work Challenge – doing my part to get the most out of the water I use and conserve, starting with making sure to water plants, not pavement.” The community that gathers the most pledges per capita is named Make Water Work Champion. Last year, it was Armstrong. “The challenge was well-received by our residents who saw that they had a role in helping conserve water, especially during last summer’s drought,” said Chris Pieper, Armstrong mayor. Residents who take the challenge will be entered to win several prizes including a grand prize of a WaterWise yard upgrade worth $6,000. Residents can take the challenge at www. MakeWaterWork.ca.

Pool pondered At least one member of Vernon council wants to see improved swimming amenities. Coun. Scott Anderson has told his colleagues that many residents want a new aquatic centre. “We have one swimming pool and it’s fairly old,” he said. Anderson says a number of options could be considered, including an indoor facility or an outdoor pool at Polson Park. The city will initiate its recreation master plan process this year and staff say that the possible development of a new aquatic centre will be part of the discussion.

The provincial government is implementing a range of penalties for distracted drivers June 1. “Distracted driving has much in common with drinking and driving. Both are completely avoidable and too often have devastating consequences,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. Each offence will include a base fine of $368 – up from Greg Kyllo $167 – and will add four penalty points to a person’s driving record. First-time offenders will face a minimum

It’s a first for the province. The Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce is introducing B.C.’s first barn quilt trail. Barn quilts tell stories of historical significance and act as a means of guiding visitors to rural areas and businesses. “Barn quilts are a form of rural graffiti that honour quilters and the textile arts as well as drawing attention to ArmstrongS p a l l u m c h e e n ’s important agricultural heritage,” said Patti Noonan, chamber executive director. “It’s an enticement for travellers to get off the highway and explore our beautiful rural areas.” The first phase of the North Okanagan Shuswap Barn Quilt Trail will be revealed Sunday at Fieldstone Organics’ Come Taste the Valley event. Each quilt pattern
photo submitted
Volunteers Carol Coonie (left) and Yvette Richoux work on pieces for the Armstrong Spallumcheen barn quilt trail, the first of its kind in B.C. is made up of blocks that form a colourful image. The patterns chosen for this phase include: Bear’s Paw, Basket, Friendship’s Circle, Dove in the Window, Wreath, Storm at Sea and Farmer’s Daughter. The barn quilts are hand painted on fourfoot-by-eight-foot or eight-by-eight plywood and mounted to a wooden frame which is then attached to the barn or outbuilding. Each quilt square
design has been chosen by the host site for the significance to that site. This is a self-guided trail and consists of six barn quilts with about six more scheduled for completion and unveiling in October 2016 at Armstrong’s annual Pumpkin Fest and about 17 more are planned for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017. “We are very excited to reveal the first loop of the trail,” said Noonan.

Timber draw 2-2 with Courvas
Whitling goes big for folks
Morning Star Staff
It was North Okanagan Soccer League play at its fastest and finest Wednesday night at MacDonald Park. Archrivals North Enderby Timber and Salmon Arm Courvas put on an epic display of speed, skill and grit in a 2-2 draw. The Timber opened the scoring after defender Menno Burnet made the tackle of the game by sliding a Courvas forward and then playing a through ball to Pat Schindler, who fed Danny Stein for his 30th birthday tap-in. The Timber controlled possession in the first half to take a 1-0 lead into the break. NET sputtered in the second half, allowing two quick goals 10 minutes into the final 45. Things started to get heated for the rivals with referee Wayne Aasen giving both teams multiple yellows to keep the game under control. Timber veteran Brodie Couch – fresh off the airplane after living in Australia for two years – picked up right where he left off by setting up Brent Poulsen on a breakaway. Poulsen fooled the keeper and everyone on the sideline with a knuckle-ball shot that no one except Poulsen knew went over the goal-line. In other play, the Revelstoke Stallions held off Peters Tirecraft 1-0 in Salmon Arm. Revy carried a slight advantage in the early minutes, but tirecraft soon started to test the Stallions with some nifty passing. The Stallions scored near the 42nd minute on a 25-yard deflected shot which just snuck past keeper Kevin Nevens, who had a solid outing. Tirecraft right outside midfielder Aman Singh headed a corner off the post and then headed the rebound which was cleared by a defender. The Richardson boys – Clark and Kyle – were highly effective for Tirecraft, while rookie defender Liam Semeniuk had his best showing of the year, tracking a forward on a breakaway from centre with a sweet slide tackle. Tirecraft pressed hard for the equalizer with Trevor Rachwalski striking the crossbar in the dying minutes. “We had lots of scoring chances and they (Revy) looked really good,” said Tirecraft veteran Brad Conlin. “We were lights out except for not scoring. It was our best game of the season.” “Liam’s been a real pleasant surprise. Justin Mitchell and Gavin Brewster were stallions at central defence and they shared the Longhorn Man of the Match. Their play together is smooth and rock-solid with great outlet passes. They’re fun to watch.”

Salmon Arm Courvas striker Shea Smith challenges North Enderby Timber keeper Victor Gouchee in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday night at MacDonald Park.
Jasmine Whitling had her No. 1 fans on the sidelines Tuesday night at MacDonald Park. And with her soccer-crazed father, Stu, turning 40-something, Jasmine delivered the symphony-like hat trick as the InfoNews. ca News Hounds ambushed the Ball Blasters 7-1. Jasmine’s footyloving mother, Deborah, was also lending support as the News Hounds improved to 3-0 in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association First Division. Whitling – named game MVP – scored twice before the break and finished her hatty with a 25-yard corker in the dying minutes after taking a sweet feed from Tessa Coulthard. Megan Prentice and Coulthard each pocketed a pair of goals. Dayce Knopf gave the Blasters the early lead before the News Hounds found their groove. Vicki Schley earned Most Sportsmanlike Player for her refuse-to-surrender attitude. The NET Celtics and the Kicksters ran to a 1-1 draw in other First Division play.

Win one, lose one. It’s been the norm for the Vernon Canadians early in the B.C. Midget AAA Baseball League. The C’s split a pair with the South Fraser Giants of Surrey Saturday and then did likewise on Mother’s Day with the Cloverdale Spurs, at Marshall Field. “As a team, I guess we are happy playing .500 baseball,” said Vernon head coach Ken Liefke. “Every doubleheader we come out and win the first game and then become complacent and give the next game to the other team. We are 7-5 on the season and it should be much better. We have only lost one game where I felt we have been outplayed.” Liefke is high on Caden Doyle’s offence of late. Doyle has driven in 10 runs and swiped 20 bases. “Doyle has been on a tear at the plate,” said Liefke. “He has hit three triples in the last four games and has boosted his average up to .425.” Vernon grounded South Fraser 9-4 with Ty Wellman going the full seven and striking out seven. He is 3-1. Doyle was 2-for-3 with single, triple, one ribbie and one stolen base. See C’s on A21

North Enderby Timber Celtics’ Carly Smith battles NOWSA Kicksters’ Tarah Smith in North Okanagan Women’s soccer action Tuesday night at MacDonald Park.
Kickers ice Sistas 5-1 Continued from A20 NET came out with some Arsenal-like passing in the second half creating numerous chances. Ashley Krause, Lindsey Bolduc and Sam Adam were stars in the middle of the park all game long. The Celtics got on the scoreboard midway through the half off an Adam corner that Bolduc buried hard on a scramble. Jennifer Seigmueller was a rock on the NET back line. In Masters play, the Chick Kickers dispatched the Courtesy Motors Sistas 5-1 at Marshall Field. After some great chances and a missed penalty by the Chicks, the first half was scoreless. The second half was much different with striker Dawn Ansdel starting things off with one of her classic runs down the right side, cutting to the middle through two defenders and cracking a left footer top cheddar. That glorious goal inspired the rest of the Kickers and four other goals followed. Jenny Garnett finished a penalty of her own with authority, followed up a few minutes later with Jen Kemper feeding Mel Jacobs, who finished with a rocket from yardage. Mel’s twin sister Holly then got into the stats with a great shot top shelf after receiving a fabulous feed from centre midfielder Lisa Lanaway. Jen Kemper finished the night with another powerful shot after winding her way through three defenders and beating keeper Wendy Nadeau, named Most Sportsmanlike Player. Player of the Game was central defender Stephanie (Silk Feet) Curtis in support of keeper Crystal Bergman. Diane Neudorf and Andy Zubot enjoyed scoring attempts for the Sistas, Danielle Sand sent a long free kick to the feet of Zubot, who converted with a low screamer. Rosters Sports Club and Merlot ran to a scoreless draw in Salmon Arm. Rosters’ superstar keeper Amanda Smiley ended the game with an Oscar-worthy save to top off another solid showing. Defender Christine Beham earned Player of the Game, while Renee Cooke was awarded Most Sportsmanlike Player. Karinda McGaw
kept the pressure on up front while Lisa Fugel and Denise Bateman kept things in control down the middle. First-place Dr. Lee-Dental/Squires Four Pubshut down the Controllers 4-0 at Marshall #3. Jacquie Hansen timed a perfect run from a through ball from Irene Arrotta to put the floss crew up 1-0. Loren Brunelle got her first of the night with assists from Deanna Baker and Lori Shippy working as a cohesive team up front. Andi King controlled the ball in the midfield and fed Baker a beauty to the corner and Baker converted a rocket to the corner for a 3-0 lead at the recess. Brunelle – chosen Lady of the Match – connected in the second half, assisted by King. Lisa Arrotta posted her fourth consecutive shutout and there was great hustle on the forward line from calendar girl Tori Feser, Baker, Hansen and Shippy. Keeper Michelle Embleton was stellar. Tara Murray, Emma Louie, and Amy Shupe delivered some lovely passing up the right side throughout the second half for scoring chances for the Controllers. Salmon Arm Kaos tripped up VQA 3-1 at Marshall #2. Uncatchable locomotive Leah (Good Wood) Willinger maintained her goal-a-game clip for the VQA (0-4). Bobbi Jo Gordon lined up at fullback for the first time ever and then returned to net, releasing injured Carla Gibson. Karen Benn came off the injury list and played keeper the opening 40 and then ran hard on defence the final half. TED United of the Shuswap also went to 4-0 by holding off visiting Gray Monk Impact 2-0. Jodi Hawthorne released an amazing shot on goal from the middle of the park that surely would have been the goal of the season, if not for the United keeper who tipped it over the top bar. United scored once on a scramble and added insurance on a shot from a wicked angle. Hawthorne took the Fitness West Lady of the Match, while a special shoutout went to the Impact back four, anchored by Christine Fraser.

Bridge by Phillip Alder A DOUBLE COMES FROM NOWHERE Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, a German-American social philosopher and historian who died in 1973, said, “Logic protects us against what we say having a double meaning.” The game of bridge is built on logic. For example, in today’s auction, what does East’s double of three no-trump logically mean?

Yes, it must be a penalty double. But is there anything else? It asks West to lead the first suit bid by the dummy; here, a spade. East’s double is speculative, but reasonable. He doesn’t
expect the opponents to make an overtrick, and it might need a spade lead to defeat the contract. Which spade should West lead? South responded with oneno-trump forcing, then invited game with two no-trump. This is one of the situations when the highest spade should be led -- here, the nine. To start with the two risks allowing declarer to duck the trick to East and leave him unable to continue the suit profitably. In this deal from a social game, South can survive if he wins the first trick, but he must read the cards accurately. If he ducks the first trick, which is not so silly, thinking that West might have only two spades, the contract can be defeated.
West leads a second spade. Declarer will probably win with dummy’s ace, cross to hand with a club, take two diamond finesses, lead a diamond to the ace, and exit with a heart. East wins, cashes his second high heart, then endplays the dummy with either black suit; say, clubs. The defenders take three spades and two hearts.

For the past three-and-a-half years, Lake Country Chamber of Commerce manager Corrinne Cross-Franson has been pushing hard for the development of local business. But soon she will be focusing on just one business as Cross-Franson has resigned her position with the chamber and taken a posting with the soon-to-open Lake Country Hardware. “I started in retail 18 years ago and I really like the challenge of working with people,” said Cross-Franson. Cross-Franson Cross-Franson was the lone employee of the Lake Country chamber. “The growth of Lake Country itself every year has enabled more businesses and people to come in,” she said, noting that some of the events she has been proud of in her time have been the business excellence awards in Lake Country and the chamber’s taking over of the Lake Country car show. “To be able to see new businesses emerging has been so cool, and as far as advocating for our members, we were able to facilitate some good conversations that were very positive.” Cross-Franson will be in charge of marketing for Lake Country Hardware. With her departure May 27, the Lake Country chamber is taking applications for manager. “We thank Corrinne for her dedicated and tireless work on our behalf,” said Camae Thompson, chamber vice-president. “She has been an outstanding advocate for our members, the organization and the community. Though she will be sorely missed we wish her much happiness and success in her future endeavours and we look forward to working with her in her new capacity.”

Mr. Wiser is ready for his close up Locally written and produced production plays in Vernon before going to OZone festival Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A local playwright is getting serious with his next production. After celebrating Vernon Winter Carnival with the fun and silly musical Mardi Gras Mayhem, Vernon’s Michael Poirier is bringing another one of his original scripts to the stage; this time with Posing for Mr. Wiser. Written and directed by Poirier, who produces his original community productions under the Back Stage Theatre umbrella, the play is being entered into this year’s Okanagan Zone (OZone) Drama Festival, which takes place in Oliver May 21 to 28. Before it heads to Oliver, Posing for Mr. Wiser will open at the Schubert Centre in Vernon for a dinner theatre run. This is the second year Poirier has entered the OZone festival with one of his original productions. A finalist in the Theatre B.C. playwriting contest for the past three years, he wrote, produced and directed State of Confusion last year, which won a special merit award from Theatre B.C. in 2014. A finalist in the 2013 Theatre B.C. playwriting competition, Poirier wrote Posing for Mr. Wiser in early-2010. “I wanted to write a two-hander that wasn’t linear in nature. Creating multiple subplots while maintaining a constant flow is a challenge at the best of times, but when you’re following only two characters, it becomes fun,” said Poirier. “Developing the characters early helped, but I still needed to keep some reveals to pull the audience along; reveals that would, hopefully, not be seen until I wanted them to.” Similar to the David Mamet play Oleanna, Posing for Mr. Wiser features an older male character and a younger female character, both of whom are protagonists engaged in a bit of a power struggle. “They are playing mind games with one another. It’s a cat and mouse scenario, but in this case it’s about who needs rescu-

Although not seen on the stage, other characters bring issues and arcs of their own to the main characters’ story. “In the end, the story is about individual decisions that we all make in life and afterthoughts about whether we can change if we are given a good reason,” said Poirier. “It also compels one to look at his/her own life when analyzing others and their choices.” Local thespian Paul Lawson, known for his musical theatre roles at Powerhouse Theatre and most recently in Mardi Gras Mayhem, here plays Mr. Wiser, a retired RCMP officer who was injured on the job and has become an embittered alcoholic artist. “He put himself through college doing sketches and now wants to paint the
modern-age Mona Lisa. The problem is he can’t get anyone to stay for a sitting because he’s rude and drunk,” said Poirier. After putting up an advertisement in the local art gallery and college, he receives a surprise visit from a 21-year-old student named Emily (played by Caitlin Norin, who has acted in a one-act play at Powerhouse and starred in the Creekside Players’ production of Grease.) “She’s a strong, young girl who has had as rough a life as he has. He’s chosen to hide that reality in alcohol, but she’s becoming stronger,” said Poirier. “She comes to him for a specific reason and has an ulterior motive for being there. He can’t figure out the reason why she keeps wanting to come back... But when he finds out about it, he has to go along with it.” With only a few rehearsals to go before opening night, Poirier says his two actors
have already nailed their parts. “I have worked with Paul before. He’s been in one of my short films and in my plays, and I can always count on him. Caitlin has turned into the absolute best Emily we could have asked for. She is peeling the character from the page and wearing her like wardrobe,” said Poirier. Also helping on the production is stage manager Marnie Cullum, sound designer Keven Huffman, lighting designer Gus Hansen, Catherine Hansen, set decoration/ props, Julie Armitage, wardrobe/hair, and production assistant Ellie Young. Posing for Mr. Wiser takes the stage at the Schubert Centre May 19 to 21. Tickets are $45 at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. Doors open at 6 p.m. and dinner is at 6:30 p.m., with the performance at 7:30 p.m. Ticket price includes dinner and the show. Cash bar.

Captain America: Civil war
eople all over the world have begun questioning the value of letting mutants and humans with powers become superheroes. Damage and death surround them, even when saving the planet from fierce foes. The losses, too great to ignore, must be accounted for. The United Nations proposes to create a plan to reign in the powers of the superheroes, providing accountability. Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) agrees to the plan. Captain America (Chris Evan) does not. This divides The Avengers. We say, “Captain America: Civil War means it, man.” HOWE: So Mr. Taylor, which side will you be cheering for?
C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE APARTMENT
They come together by chance in the heart of New York City, four young women at turning points in their lives. Claire Kelly finds the walk-up apartment—a spacious loft in Hell’s Kitchen. But the aspiring shoe designer needs at least one roommate to manage it. She meets Abby Williams, a writer trying to make it on her own, far away from her successful family in L.A. Four years later, Morgan Shelby joins them. She’s ambitious, with a serious finance job on Wall Street. Then Sasha Hartman, a medical student whose identical twin sister is a headline-grabbing supermodel. And so the sprawling space, with its exposed brick and rich natural light, becomes a home to friends about to embark on new, exhilarating adventures.

Reel Reviews
Taylor and Howe
There has been a lot of superhero movies over the last few years, yet I will say this has to be up there with the best of them. It is packed to the rafters with superheroes, way too many to mention, and a couple of new ones thrown in for good measure. There is the usual comic one-liners, lots of fighting, explosions and gimmicks. TAYLOR: Civil War does have all the pieces in the right places. It delivers on every front, but I will say that the film is not nearly as light as The Avengers or the Iron Man films. It’s supposed to be serious, epic in fact. I’m not sure it succeeds, but I didn’t hate it, and I’m pretty sick of superhero movies, so that says something. HOWE: The only
Marvel StudioS
Captain America (Chris Evans) is joined by The Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) in the latest Marvel franchise, Civil War. downside I found was the opening action scenes were messy, jumpy and out of focus. The fighting shots looked shaky as if filmed on a hand cam, and I felt a little nauseous. After that, someone must have found a tripod to sit the camera on because it didn’t happen again. TAYLOR: I liked the opening. It reminded me of a Bond-style action sequence, relentless. What I didn’t like was that the movie became exhausting. After a couple hours
of action scenes, I was ready for a smoke and a pancake. Then, in the end, it turned out that we didn’t really need to watch the film after all because, as per usual, the consequences of the action undertaken did not push the story very much further than where we were at the beginning. So there’s that to look forward to. HOWE: The movie itself is quite light compared to the original Captain America and in
truth, you could have called it Avengers 3. Nobody would complain. This is what Age of Ultron should have been and I for one will be watching this fun movie again. TAYLOR: It’s always the same tale, regardless of whether it’s Marvel or DC now: “With great power comes great responsibility.” – Taylor gives Captain America: Civil War 3 stars missing out of 5. – Howe gives it 4.5 Loki’s stone out of 5.

Zirka stars shine at festival
Morning Star Staff
Coming home with a great experience is memorable. Coming home with medals and a trophy is even better. The Zirka Ukrainian Dancers of the Okanagan Valley showed off their best dancing at the B.C. Ukrainian Cultural Festival in Mission last weekend. The local group is more than 35 years old and is still showing their strong connection to Ukrainian culture. They attended the 21st annual Ukrainian Cultural Festival with groups from all over the province and Washington State. Zirka’s Red and Blue groups danced strongly in the adjudicated festival and received one silver and five gold medals for their performances.
The youngest in their category, the Red group still received scores of 90 and above for all of their dances and took home the trophy for the highest mark in the Transcarpathian category. “Our dancers were so excited,” said artistic director, Amie Roussel. “They practised hard and worked towards their goal of taking home a trophy this year. I am excited by their skill level and presentation for their ages, just think where we will be in a few more years of hard work. “Having our dancers compete in the Kiwanis Dance Festivals in both Kamloops and Penticton prior to the Ukrainian dance festival really paid off in the confidence the dancers brought to
the stage and the quality of their performances.” The Zirka dancers performed dances from the Bukovinian, Transcarpathian, Poltava, Hutsul and Volyn regions at the festival this year. Zirka has been performing and training dancers in the Okanagan Valley for more than 35 years and while a number of dancers have Ukrainian heritage, others do not and simply love to dance and perform. “My family has been involved with Zirka for more than 10 years,” said longtime board member Sheila Monroe. “Zirka is about bringing people together, no matter your background or age.” The timing for the Zirka
dancers to bring home their medals is perfect as they are taking to the stage at Trinity United Church on Saturday for their Night of Stars dinner and performance event from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Special guests from Kamloops and Osooyos will be joining the Zirka dancers on stage for the evening’s performance. The family event will feature a dinner of traditional Ukrainian foods, followed by the dancers performing and an evening of social dancing, partner polka dancing, a traditional kolomeyka and raffles. Tickets must be purchased in advance from the Ticket Seller box office; tickets are not available at the door. See www.ticketseller.ca or call 250-549-SHOW (7469).

ince May brings us National Physiotherapy month, it seems proper to address the top questions a physiotherapist gets. What is a physiotherapist? Physiotherapists are health care providers who assist with the treatment of injuries, illness or disability. They have in-depth knowledge on how the body works; and can assess, diagnose and treat injury and disease, and its associated symptoms. The goal of physiotherapy treatment is to promote and maintain health and activity for people of all ages. What schooling is required to become a physiotherapist? All physiotherapists must obtain their master’s in
spine & sport
Kayla Comstock
physiotherapy in order to register and practise in Canada. This means that they must first acquire a bachelor’s degree, which can be in any area as long as the required pre-requisites for physiotherapy school are met. The most common bachelor’s degree that physiotherapists have are in kinesiology or science. Almost all physiotherapists continue their education past graduation by taking additional courses
to upgrade and learn new skills to help serve you better. Where do physiotherapists work? Physiotherapists can work in almost all healthcare settings. This includes private clinics, hospitals, community heath centres, residential care, assisted living facilities and community home care. What do physiotherapists do? A physiotherapist will first take a detailed history of your injury, illness or disease. Then they will use specific physical tests and measures to help establish a diagnosis and outline a treatment plan. Treatment can consist of hands-on manual therapy, electrical modalities, balance and gait re-training, home exercise programs and

education. The goal of treatment is to return you to normal functioning, or to limit the amount of disability a disease or injury can cause. When should I see a physiotherapist? Often you would benefit from a physiotherapy assessment and treatment in a private clinic if: You are injured when being active Your pain persists more than a few days and affects your ability to perform your day-to-day activities You are going to, or if you have had surgery You have strength loss and limited joint movement You have a chronic condition or neurological disease How can I make an appointment with a physiotherapist? Physiotherapists are primary health care providers, which means that you are able to book an appointment without a referral from your family doctor. If you are unsure if you would benefit from physiotherapy treatment, they can perform an assessment and will let you know whether physiotherapy treatment will help, or if a referral to another health care provider is more appropriate.

cal compounds of traditional tobacco. However, the nicotine in E Cigarettes is dangerous and highly addictive. Stopping use will cause withdrawal symptoms, irritability and an increase in anxiety for some. Further, the amount and quality of nicotine may vary from device to device.
Parents, it is a bad idea to let your children use E Cigarettes. They will impair the health of your child and, in some cases, cause your child to switch to tobaccobased products. Doug Rogers is the Substance Abuse Prevention Counsellor for the Vernon School District.
his is the third time that I have written an article for The Morning Star regarding e cigarettes (E Cigs) and I will continue to do so because of the sharp increase in the use of these devices among our youth. Clearly, E Cig companies (many owned by ‘big tobacco’) have done an excellent job in promoting their product as safe. I see E Cigs as a training instrument. Many kids start using E Cigs to be cool in their social group and quickly move on to regular tobacco cigarettes – new research has shown this to be the case. Clearly, they are not smoking cessation devices for new smokers. A second issue is the normalization of the abnormal. That is, when was the last time you saw groups of people standing around smoking?

you’re ever in the area. A new Caddy always comes packed with new technology and the XT5 doesn’t disappoint, especially if you splurge for a higher trim version. Even the basic goodie package includes Wi-Fi hot spot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a hands-free liftgate. LED headlights, a head-up display, and advanced safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist are also available. Unique new tech includes Cadillac’s patented Rear Camera Mirror, which enhances a driver’s rear vision by 300 per cent. A video display, applied over the conventional inside rearview mirror, streams an unobstructed wide-angle view of what’s going on behind. An AJAC Best New Safety Technology winner, it helps solve a driver vision issue that plagues many modern high back design vehicles. The advanced “twin clutch” all-wheel drive system is now capable of transferring up to 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle and/or to either rear wheel, via an electronically controlled rear differential. There’s also a new driver-controlled “disconnect” feature that disables the rear drive unit. Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are the benefits of operating in this front-drive mode. Canadian prices for a Cadillac XT5 will start at $45,100 (FWD) and $52,120 for the all-wheel-drive editions. Expected city/highway fuel economy ratings for FWD editions are 12.1/8.6 L/100km and 12.9/8.9 L/100km for AWD editions and an XT5 runs fine on regular gasoline.
Cadillac now benchmarks its products against prestige European autos. Do you believe the current model line-up place the luxury marque an equal footing with the likes of BMW, Mercedes and Audi?
Safety Tip: High-risk driving behaviour, such as speeding, increases your chances of crashing. Almost half of all crashes that result in injury or death involve high-risk driving. Slow down and give yourself extra time to get to your destination so you don’t feel the need to rush.

driveway Audi teams up with Marvel’s Captain America in new movie By Keith Morgan
Audi and Marvel Entertainment have teamed up once again for the release of Marvel’s newest blockbuster, Captain America: Civil War, released last week.
‘‘
The Audi ad campaign includes an exclusive digital video called “The Chase,” directed by the film’s directors Anthony and Joe Russo.
The decade-long collaboration continues the Audi brand’s commitment to one of Hollywood’s biggest Keith Morgan franchises, with multiple models from the luxury carmaker featuring in the film. An advertising and marketing campaign is now underway following the movie’s recent world Premiere in Los Angeles, attended by actor Chris Evans, who plays the superhero. The Audi ad campaign includes an exclusive digital video called “The Chase,” directed by the film’s directors Anthony and Joe Russo. It previews a pivotal scene featuring the all-new Audi SQ7. “Even as the mighty Avengers break into Civil War, their affinity for best-in class, high performance and state of the art technology in their vehicles ties them together,” said Loren Angelo, Director of Marketing, Audi of America. “Audi is excited to be a mainstay for the Marvel franchise and to support their cast of Super Heroes with a fleet of superior Audi vehicles.” While the Avengers’ universe is fractured as we know it, the car company supports Super Heroes on both sides of the divide with all-new models. Captain America, debuts the SQ7, while his current adversary, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) finds himself once again behind the wheel of the R8 V10 plus Coupe supercar. “We’re always trying to ride the line in these movies between something that is set in our real, present day world, but at the same time feels special and forward thinking - just a little out of reach. So to be able to work with a company like Audi and have access to their current models and their most advanced designs, it helps us strike that right balance between real world and the future.” says Anthony Russo, who directed the film along with his brother Joe Russo. Making its Hollywood debut is the Audi prologue show car as the model of choice for Chadwick Boseman’s character, Black Panther/T’Challa. Emily VanCamp as Agent 13 sports the all-new Audi A4 and Zemo, played by Daniel Brühl, drives the A7 Sportback. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca/

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

Faith Hall
Faith was born, February 8, 1922 at S18 T30 R7 W2 (Grenfell) Saskatchewan, and died May 4, 2016 at Vernon, BC. Faith was very proud to be Canadian and spoke lovingly of her Saskatchewan home often. Faith is the last survivor of the William and Ellen Hubbard family of Grenfell. She was predeceased by her husband Morley, her son Dana, her grandson Nathan, her great-grandson Brodie and two daughtersin-law: Diane and Joyce. Faith trained as a nurse at Regina’s Grey Nuns Hospital and then stayed home to raise her five sons until she was forced to work to pay off medical bills in those pre-Medicare days. She worked her way up through the system and through university as a mature student, to finally retire from her position of Assistant Director of Vital Statistics for the Province of Saskatchewan. She was an integral component of the outreach program at Carmichael United Church and started an after school program for children. She was an avid philanthropist, and especially loved to support those charities which benefited the hungry and the homeless. She was involved in politics and having absorbed the teachings of the CCF Party at her father’s knee became a supporter of the NDP party. She was an active member of the Women’s Institute and the Rebekahs as long as she was able. Faith was always involved in her church; a graduate of E.F.M. she served the church in many capacities. Faith, Mom, Gran, Gram, Grapie Nana, Gigi, Aunty Face will be dearly missed by her sons: Bob (Marg) of Wolseley, Dick of Penticton, Howard (Lila) of Regina and Mike of Kelowna; by her daughters-in-law Helen of Armstrong and Wanda of West Kelowna; her 18 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and one sister-in-law Joan Schuetz of Armstrong. A funeral service will be held Monday, May 16th, 1:00 pm at St. James Anglican Church, Armstrong BC. with The Rt. Rev. James Cowan officiating. This summer a graveside ceremony will be held at Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery, Regina SK, where Faith will be laid to rest beside her husband whom she has dearly missed since 1971. Thanks to the kindnesses shown to Faith by Dr. Jeannette Henley, the staff at Carrington Manor and at Heritage Square. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate that those who wish to do so share Faith’s love of charitable giving and donate to either: The Upper Room Mission, 3403 27 Avenue, Vernon BC V1T 1S2, or the Kidney Foundation of Canada, 310 - 5160 Décarie Blvd. Montreal, QC H3X 2H9 1 800 361-7494.
