O’Keefe issues plea for funding richard rolke Morning Star Staff
It may not be easy to have funding cuts reversed for O’Keefe Ranch. On Monday, representatives from the historic site asked Vernon council to back off a reduction in taxpayer grants set to begin in 2017. “I see no reason to change the direction of council,” said Coun. Bob Spiers after the meeting. “The subsidy should not continue.” Coun. Juliette Cunningham is also reluctant to say whether the city may change direction. “We have to look at their finances first before we make a decision on the ranch.”
The ranch, which is owned by the city, currently receives $150,000 a year from taxpayers. However, it was decided in 2013 that the grant would be reduced to $100,000 in 2017, $50,000 in 2018 and $10,000 in 2019. City staff say $10,000 was selected because it’s outlined in a contract between the city and the O’Keefe Ranch Society. On Monday, ranch officials urged council to maintain the status quo. “We’d like to see it retained at the level it is now,” said Glen Taylor, general manager. In 2015, 26,474 people passed through the gate, a 21 per cent increase, while more

events have been added to the schedule. And while the city has pushed the ranch to be more self-sufficient financially, the events have led the B.C. Arts Council to trim its grant from $42,000 to $34,000. “They want us to be more focused on the heritage of the ranch,” said Taylor, adding that the corn maze and other activities don’t infringe on the heritage footprint of the site. “If we have 50 acres, why not use it and generate extra cash?” About $224,834 has been spent on infrastructure in the last five years, and volunteers provide about 8,350 hours of labour annually. “We have great community support,” said Taylor.

Three men from the Lumby area suffered only minor cuts and scrapes following a plane crash north of the village Tuesday morning. A small single-engine de Havilland Beaver float plane crashed on private property in the on Mabel Lake Road at around 10:45 a.m. It went down shortly after taking off from a neighbouring private airstrip. “All three occupants were able to scramble to safety before the plane became fully engulfed in flames,” said Cpl. Trevor Tribes with the Lumby RCMP detachment. The three men are all in their 50s, and it is not known if they were on a business or pleasure trip. The pilot is the owner of the plane and has been flying for approximately 12 years. “He is an experienced pilot with lots of hours flown in that plane,” said Tribes. “He has been fully cooperative with us.” The cause of the crash is still under investigation. The case has been turned over to the Transportation Safety Board with the Lumby RCMP offering any help they can with the investigation.

Ted Beaudoin wants to say thanks to three strangers. The former Vernon resident, who now resides in Welland, Ont., 12 miles from Niagara Falls, wants to say thanks to three people that pulled his son to safety from a burning vehicle in Spallumcheen last week. “My son is alive thanks to these people,” said Beaudoin, who was also grateful for the response from emergency personnel. “I don’t know who they are, don’t have any idea. But I’m very grateful for what they did.” Shortly before 10 a.m., on May 5, Beaudoin’s son was behind the wheel of his mom’s 2001 Buick LeSabre, with mom in the passenger seat. The Lake Country residents were northbound on Highway 97A approaching the McLeod Road intersection when a Volkswagen Jetta pulled out in front of them. The son swerved to avoid T-boning the Jetta but the two vehicles collided. According to Beaudoin, his son reached out to stop the airbag from hitting his mom. At some point, the vehicle caught fire. The mom was able to get out and three people helped the son out of the vehicle. Beaudoin’s son suffered serious injuries to his hand, leg and knee and was released from Vernon Jubilee Hospital Monday. There was no word on any injuries to the driver of the Jetta, who is believed to be from Spallumcheen. The accident closed the highway for a short period of time. Beaudoin would like to express his thanks to the people that pulled his son from the car. Anybody who knows them can contact him at tedbeaudoin@yahoo.ca.

Concerned family members report she may have been hitchhiking on either Yankee Flats or Salmon River roads. Simpson was living in Salmon Arm, but was expected to move back to Ontario.

Brakes put on speed JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Coldstream is driving efforts to curb speeding while aiming to keep its pedestrians and cyclists safe. The issue arose following an accident on Buchanan Road May 6 where two cyclists were hit by a truck as well as efforts from another neighbourhood to put the brakes on speeders. “Speeding is Richard Enns becoming more and more of a concern,” said Michael Baker, Coldstream’s director of infrastructure services, at Monday’s council meeting. Coldstream Creek Road resident Heidi Thompson has collected about 25 names on a petition targeting speeding on the windy, road. “Just about 100 per cent of the people on Coldstream Creek Road so far have signed,” said Thompson, who is making her way further up the road. Coldstream is already taking action with plans to get more police enforcement on the road and moving its speed reader out there to
bring awareness to the issue. “The other one would be Buchanan Road,” said Mayor Jim Garlick, noting the recent accident which sent two women to hospital. Coldstream Creek Road is a unique situation, explains Thompson, as it connects to Cosens Bay Road but is also near a high school full of new drivers. The popularity of hiking and cycling routes in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park have also increased. “There’s been a gradual increase in the speeding,” said Thompson. “There’s a lack of a feeling for pedestrians.” Coun. Richard Enns can attest to the issues on the road. “Some people are using it as a raceway. You can see that with the black stripes that are here or there on Coldstream Creek Road.” Thompson would like to see a safe walking path and some speed bumps on the road. But Baker is concerned that speed bumps could manipulate traffic and force it down other roads. “We would be encouraging them to go right down McClounie and into a school zone. Is that what we want to do? For Coldstream Creek Road one of best ways to reduce speeding is enforcement.”

No easy answers with O’Keefe
Fence fiasco predictable
C
ity of Vernon staff should have expected a backlash over ripping out the fence at Sawicki Park. After all, kids and playgrounds are motherhood issues and parents and grandparents traditionally get alarmed when something they perceive protects their children is suddenly taken away. No sooner was the fence down April 12, and social media went viral. Complaints also started to roll into elected officials. Beyond the headlines “The opposition Richard Rolke to it is unanimous,” said Coun. Scott Anderson at city hall Monday. A two-page report was presented to council defending staff’s decision to eliminate the four-foot-high fence, but it did little to divert criticism. “I’m not convinced by the rationale here. A chain link fence does not impact visibility,” said Anderson. In the report, staff states, “the fence was removed to place emphasis on increasing accessibility, visibility and transparency for

safety, and to enhance the landscape and provide more shade through additional tree planting.” As someone who drives past the park semi-regularly, I almost forget there is a chain link fence there. It virtually blends into the landscape and it’s difficult to know how a fence impacts sight lines more than a tree once it becomes fully mature. But the biggest reason many parents and grandparents are upset over the fence removal is the speedway known as Middleton Way. Yes, the speed limit is 30 kilometres an hour in the playground zone, but very few motorists do that. Obviously there is a need for increased RCMP enforcement of the speed limit there, but you can’t have an officer sitting all of the time. A fence provides an established boundary for kids, who can be unpredictable when running around. Staff insist that other parks don’t have fences around them, but instead of taking out the fence at Sawicki, one should question why more fences aren’t installed. In the case of Girouard Park, 20th Street has become a busy link between the north end of town and East Hill. The only support for staff at Sawicki came from Coun. Catherine Lord.

“If you are going to take children to the playground, you will be with them. Why do we need a fence there?” she said. Of course parents must be responsible but you can be the most diligent parent in the world, and your kid is still going to zig when they should zag. Things can happen at a blink of an eye. A fence is not about bubble-wrapping kids but ensuring there is a basic safety standard for them and for motorists. In the end, the biggest mistake by city staff was the lack of communication. Before the fence was removed, park users and immediate neighbours should have been consulted to see if there was any interest in the plan. And while the role of council isn’t to interfere in day-to-day operations at city hall, the politicians should have had advance warning about a contentious action, and perhaps they should have been asked for guidance. As well intentioned as staff was, the reality is that considerable time and effort has been wasted and a fence is going back up. Any future fence removals at parks must be placed on hold until council provides further direction.

There’s absolutely no question that O’Keefe Ranch is important to the North Okanagan. Historically, it was the first nonindigenous settlement in the region and it was because of Cornelius O’Keefe’s success, that others made their way here. And for the modern era, the ranch not only plays a key role preserving our past, but it is a major tourism destination. But, however valuable the ranch is from a social perspective, some Vernon residents may question the ongoing subsidy of $150,000 a year. Vernon council in 2013 attempted to address those public concerns by establishing a plan to wean the ranch off of the subsidy — decreasing to $100,000 in 2017, $50,000 in 2018 and $10,000 in 2019. On Monday, O’Keefe representatives urged the current crop of politicians to reverse the cuts and retain the $150,000. The argument is that the ranch deserves full funding because it has experienced record attendance and new events are bolstering revenue. The challenge, though, for city hall is it has numerous financial pressures, including needing to repair roads and sewer lines. The other issue is that while the city owns the ranch, it is in Spallumcheen and is a regional asset. Why are Vernon residents the only ones footing the bill? The next step is for Vernon council to look at the ranch’s books to see whether the request to scrap the subsidy cuts has merit. And a final decision won’t be easy as the city must balance the needs of the ranch with fiscal accountability to taxpayers.

Society addresses concerns
ome of your readers continue to submit letters opposed to the Kalamalka Bowl amphitheatre development that are either misinformed or inaccurate, painting our organization as exclusionary or insensitive in our planning process and myself and our advisors as cavalier or unprofessional. Some intervenors, of course, are more polite, perhaps realizing, as our grandmothers always said, “You catch more flies with honey.” Our board continues to log, review and discuss all comments received and we respond as best we can to rational arguments. Some have alleged we do not want local input, which is untrue. We have to date, taken several steps to invite and listen to input from local residents. We began this process as soon as we were able to announce the plan in December 2015 and concluded the initial round of public meetings March 22. These meetings were funded in part by the Community Foundation of North Okanagan and we have reported to the foundation in full. Some have implied that we have not done our homework. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have had the benefit of input from qualified professionals who have taken time and care
to become familiar with the proposed site. We are in consultation with the District of Coldstream about specific engineering studies required, though, these are not likely to be scheduled for some time. Regarding sound issues, the purpose of the environmental noise impact assessment (our current priority) is to predict sound levels at surrounding locations under a range of atmospheric conditions. We hope to conduct tests this summer and to have a report this fall, though this schedule is subject to availability of funds to engage the acoustical engineering firm we have selected using a competitive process. At future events, we expect to adhere to
noise pollution It seems that there is one airplane that is causing a lot of noise pollution over our city. I would like any other resident of Vernon, who is also bothered by this very noisy airplane that persists in circling the city constantly, to express their displeasure by calling and letting the airport authority know of your displeasure. You can also go to www.vernon.ca/roadstransportation/airport and fill in a report on this website. The sound is very similar to a mosquito
Coldstream’s noise bylaw regarding scheduling and sound levels. Traffic and parking management for large events will be critical to building and maintaining a good reputation for the facility. We have studied traffic flows at other outdoor venues and know we will need to have a detailed operating plan in place including: group transit, remote parking with shuttle service and valet parking. The usual approach in other places is to engage students to assist the public with arriving, parking and departing in an orderly fashion. Clean-up after an event will clearly be the responsibility of our society, but we fully expect attendees will be respectful of
in your dark bedroom as it is very difficult to see as it flies high and slow. If this is student pilots logging hours for their licence, is there not a practise area away from the city so as to not intrude into residents' personal space? All other aircraft have a very pleasant sound except for this single airplane with a sound similar to a chainsaw running at full throttle. Bryan Wuzinski road lines Thank you Robert Yaremchuk and others
the site. We will have attractive provision for handling garbage and recycling similar to those we have seen at model venues in other jurisdictions. Some neighbours maintain that there are many desirable alternate locations and that, if we bestirred ourselves to look, we could easily go somewhere else. To date, we have not found an alternate location which is both suitable and available. We continue to consider sites that are proposed to us and that meet our specifications. Of the serious crime of hailing from places in B.C., other than Greater Vernon, some of us are certainly guilty. Nevertheless, we are all dedicated to serving the residents of and visitors to our beautiful valley. Finally, let me remind your readers that the Kalamalka Bowl amphitheatre project is still early in the planning and design process, so many specifics are not yet available. As more substantive information is received, we will arrange public forums to discuss findings. I hope this will give your readers comfort that we are listening and doing our due diligence. Diane Bond, managing director, Okanagan Summer Festival Society
who have expressed their concerns about the faded or non-existent traffic lines on Vernon roads. Only long-time residents of this city are aware of where the lanes are and seem to be used to this problem. As a new resident of this city, navigating the roadways here is both challenging and risky due to the very faded lines. Hopefully, this issue will be addressed by the city and lines repainted with durable, longer-lasting paint in an effort to promote safety for drivers. Karen Gruber
food for thought We watched the movie Eye in the Sky at Galaxy Cinema, having read the recommendation by Tylor and Howe in The Morning Star. It is ironic that Howe, who gave his appraisal as "four loaves of bread out of five," did not note the flaw in the story related to bread. The undercover Somali in the El Shebab compound has tried to get a young girl selling bread by the house targeted for a missile strike, out of harms way, by buying all of her loaves. He is recognized by guards, is chased, and manages to hide. He has discarded the loaves. The girl picks them up and starts to resell them by the same house. In the denouement, the Somali sends a young lad to buy all of her loaves in order to remove her again from harm. But the agent has no way of knowing that she is reselling the loaves. Food for thought. Heddi and Tony Walter school district North Okangan Shuswap Teacher's Association president Brenda O'Dell is calling for the school district to delay budget reductions and to look at the current surplus as a source of funds. Good advice, but only if O'Dell or a teachers' association representative is there to offer supportive input to future discussions, which O'Dell refuses to do. It would appear logic is not one of O'Dell's strong suits. Bruce Strachan roundabouts Happy as I am to hear about the new calming circle at 35th Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road, I cannot understand why roundabouts were not also constructed at the 39th and 43rd avenue intersections during the recent PV makeover. The benefit is obvious. James Nicholls

Pugs and Crows is a collaborative creation AMANDA MORAZAIN For The Morning Star
As their new double album title goes, Everyone Knows Everyone, and that is certainly the case with Vancouver band Pugs and Crows. The Juno award winning ensemble, which plays the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday night, consists of accomplished musicians who all met on Vancouver’s music scene and have some impressive credentials. In fact, their new album is dedicated to “everyone that plays or has played a part in contributing to this Vancouver music scene.” Original members Meredith Bates (violin), Cole Schmidt (guitar), Russell Sholberg (double bass), Ben Brown (drums) and Cat Toren (piano) were joined by Tony Wilson (guitar) and Debra-Jane Creelman (vocals) on Everyone Knows Everyone. All have brought their respective talents to the band, and together play a blend of indie rock, modern jazz, and neoclassicism. Since the release of their debut album, Slum Towers, in 2009, the band has been performing at major music festivals and theatres across Canada, including Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre, where they opened for renowned jazz guitarist Bill Frisell. In 2010, the group took home the Galaxie Rising Star Award for Best New Group, going on to participate in the Banff Centre’s International Jazz and Creative Music workshop. Arising out of this came Fantastic Pictures, the band’s second release, which won a Juno award for Instrumental Album of the Year in 2013. The band’s latest album, Everyone Knows Everyone 1 & 2, was released in 2015. Pugs and Crows recently returned from a trip to Bremen, Germany, which was financed by the B.C. Arts Council. There, they shared the stage with local legends Inhabitants, Lee Hutzulak, and Matt Krysko.

Vancouver’s Pugs and Crows has recently added the talents of guitarist Tony Wilson and Vernonbred singer Debra-Jean Creelman to its lineup. They play the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Wilson has been hailed as “unquestionably one of the most original guitar stylists on the Canadian scene,” by Vancouver’s Coastal Jazz and Blues, and as a “talismanic West Coast figure,” by Downbeat Magazine. A talented guitarist and composer, he has shared the stage with well-known international artists such as William Parker, Gerry Hemingway and Toby Delius and has released six CDs under the Drip Audio recording label. Creelman is a founding member of the Canadian indie rock outfit Mother Mother. The daughter of Rob Creelman and Mandy Reeves, she grew up in Vernon, where she studied musical theatre. Her grandpa, Gerry Creelman, is a well known drummer in town, while her late grandma, Doreen, was a singer and managed the Tempo Music store in Vernon for years. Besides the two records Debra-Jean recorded with Mother Mother, her vocals
can be found on the records of a slew of Canadian artists, including Frazey Ford, The Wooden Sky, Josh Martinez, and many others. Since leaving Mother Mother in 2008, she has had a successful solo career and has led the band Debra-Jean and the Means. Violinist Bates plays a variety of styles from classical to jazz, and from folk to rock. She has worked with Buck 65, Rod Stewart, Matt Mayes, Annie Lou, and the Vancouver Island Symphony, to name just a few. She has toured Canada and Europe extensively and can be heard on more than 100 albums. Guitarist and composer Schmidt has toured throughout North America and Europe. He recently finished a five-week tour of Eastern Europe and Russia, which included a performance at the Vilnius Jazz Festival. He is the recipient of the Vancouver Mayor’s Arts Award for Emerging Artist in Music.
Bassist Sholberg has performed live on CBC’s Canada Live and The Signal. Favourable reviews and articles about his work have appeared in The Wire, Downbeat, The Globe and Mail and MOJO Magazine. Drummer Brown recently spent six months on a solo tour of Europe. He has worked with a diverse group of artists including musicians Wilbert De Joode, K-OS, Jill Barber, and dancers Katie Duck, Su-Feh Lee and Justine Chambers. He is also the founder of Music and Movement Mondays (MAMM), Vancouver’s weekly collaborative series between live musicians and dancers. Toren, who resides in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she has been studying for her master’s in music, has been featured on international radio programs and podcasts, most notably CBC radio’s Hot Air. She has performed in North America and Europe, including the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Opening for Pugs and Crows at the Vernon Jazz Club will be Zach Griffin and Alexander Argatoff. Born and raised in Kelowna, Griffin is now studying jazz performance at the University of Toronto. He was selected from players across the country to take part in Humber’s Youth Jazz Canada workshop and was the recipient of the Vernon Jazz Society’s scholarship award. Argatoff has been a student of bassist Bernie Addington and is currently taking private lessons with Christian Fabian, a bassist residing in New York. He has performed internationally in jazz festivals and was selected to play in the Conn Selmer Centrestage Jazz Band at MusicFest Canada in Toronto. Doors to the club (3000-31st St.) open Saturday at 7:15 p.m. with the performance by Griffin and Argatoff. Pugs and Crows take the stage at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 at Expressions of Time and vernonjazz.ca.
OSO marks a triumphant end to season
armina Burana started as a collection of more than 200 poems and texts from the 11th and 12th century. Written in Latin and an early form of German, the poems are often raucous, but without resorting to smut. The pieces, found Jim Elderton in 1803 in a Bavarian Benedictine monastery, are considered to be the most important collection of early vagabond poems. In 1936, German composer Carl Orff set 24 of these poems to music as a scenic cantata. He described them as “secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments
ClassiCal Notes
and magic images.” This was the major work performed by the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra (OSO) for its season closing concert Sunday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, and it was stunning. However well we might know Carmina Burana by listening to a recording, hearing it live with a large orchestra and a chorus of 180 voices is beyond comparison. The sections cover a wide range of the human condition: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of spring, and the pleasures (and perils) of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust. Orff had planned it as a staged piece, with set and costumes, and much of the textual structure is based on the concept of the revolving fortune wheel. Within the scenes, the wheel
turns: joy becomes bitterness and hope becomes grief. Known as O Fortuna, the first poem completes this circle, forming a structure for the work by being both the opening and closing movements. This opening item is the one most commonly known, and is often used in movies to denote primal forces, such as in Oliver Stone’s The Doors. From the first unforgettable timpani strike, we heard 60 minutes of the most dramatic music imaginable. It would be foolish of me to attempt to describe Carmina Burana, but I can tell you I came away with vivid impressions over a massive dynamic range: harsh, brooding, mysterious, majestic, sunny, graceful, warm, gentle, energetic, sad, angry, triumphant, and ultimately leading to love. The scoring calls for meticulous timing with constantly varying
rhythms and with breathtaking orchestral punctuations. The OSO and OSYO (youth) choirs had rehearsed this for four months. Sung in Latin and German, some singers had even learned the whole thing by heart. The 24th section is a celebration, which segues directly into an exact repeat of the opening section. Besides giving us an encore, it book-ended the piece brilliantly. Orff was so pleased with his composition that he told his publisher to delete all his previous work from the catalogue. While originally intended as a staged work, Carmina Burana is now almost always performed as a concert piece. But a dance version was choreographed in 1978 for the Minnesota Dance Theatre, in collaboration with Orff himself. In the first part of the evening, lead violinist Denis Letourneau
was recognized on the occasion of his retirement after 39 years as concertmaster with the Okanagan Symphony. In honour of this, he was joined by his son, tenor Nathan Letourneau, visiting from New York, to sing Sergei Rachmaninov’s O, Cease thy Singing, Maiden Fair. Nathan also sang the tenor part for Carmina Burana, demonstrating considerable comedic talent during the tavern section, in which he sang of the perils of being a swan, and now being eaten. Alongside him, baritone James Westman and soprano Caitlin Wood completed the solo lineup. Rosemary Thomson, now at the end of her ninth year as musical director and conductor with the OSO, not only achieved a musical high with this piece, she played to a completely sold-out crowd.

Film captures restlessness of youth Contributed to The Morning Star
The Vernon Film Society will be showing the third movie of its spring season Monday at the Towne Cinema. The movie is Canadian film Sleeping Giant, which won Best Canadian First Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival and has been nominated for other awards at festivals around the world. Directed by Adam Cividino, the movie tells the story of three teen boys spending the summer on the shores of Lake Superior. The trials of adolescence, with its emotional ups and downs, boredom and excitement in equal measure are all here in this isolated cottage community. As the summer plays out, the volatile dynamics of the group of three boys and a pretty girl, who has known one of them for years, push
the group to a dangerous imbalance. If you’ve ever spent a teenage summer in a rural area with little supervision and nothing much to do, you’ll instantly recognise both the ennui and the creeping atmosphere of mystery and menace that Cividino’s film so expertly captures. Boasting fine performances by the young cast, a singular visual style and some exquisite and insightful writing, Sleeping Giant is a stellar debut by this first-time director. Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail states: “Cividino creates a volatile, captivating and singular look at adolescence, wholly free of the sanitized antics of Hollywood.” The film screens Monday at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. It is rated 14A for coarse and sexual language. Tickets are $7 (cash only), available at the theatre and the Bean Scene.
New choir proposed for Enderby area
The Enderby and District Arts Council is calling out to any singers interested in joining a new community choir. The first organizational meeting takes place Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at 617 Cliff Ave., the new home of the arts council. Members of the community came up with
the idea of a new choir after the arts council hosted a Singing Is For Everyone workshop with Mary Landers last November. “It was so much fun that participants suggested the idea of a choir in Enderby and a contact list was generated,” said Karen Rohats, with the arts council. “Kate McKie, conduc-
tor of the Shuswap Singers, has kindly agreed to conduct the Enderby choir and will be at the meeting to discuss its organization.” Singers of all ages and abilities are welcome. Men are especially welcome. If a go, the choir will start in September. For more information, call 250-838-0626.

Two of James Chapman’s favourite words are “planning” and “ahead,” and he’s on a mission to ensure everyone in the North Okanagan does just that. As the community care and advance planning services director with Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services in Vernon and Armstrong, Chapman guides clients in providing a way of easing the financial and emotional burden for their loved ones. “Why I do what I do is to help people plan ahead so that when the time comes it’s not a huge burden to the family,” said Chapman, adding that pre-planning is a lot like writing out your will — it’s not sad and sombre, rather it’s a straightforward way to express your wishes. When a client makes arrangements with Alternatives, their file will include forms with detailed instructions on how selected arrangements are to be handled. Chapman said these are decisions you get to make for yourself, with clarity of mind and the time to think, which ultimately saves your family a great amount of stress at the time of your death. “Your executor and survivors are relieved of the responsibility of planning, managing, and if you choose to pre-pay, finding the money to pay for your final arrangements at an already troubling time.” Chapman said planning ahead means that your wishes are going to be in a contract filed at the funeral home and
that they will be honoured. “When you actually pay for it ahead of time, you freeze most of the cost. Financially it’s a sound investment.” Chapman said at one time, when a loved one died, families banded together to take care of what needed to be done. These days, families are dispersed across the country and around the world. “Today, I run into seniors, individuals and couples all over the Okanagan that have no family around. “We have to start taking responsibility for our own demise. So it’s good to have a will, it’s good to have your estate, to have your financial advisor, but before any of that, someone’s going to have to make a phone call on your behalf when you die.” A pastor for many years on the Prairies, Chapman performed his first funeral in the spring of 1987. “I was in full-time ministry for 17 years. And in those years I performed a lot of funerals and counselled a lot of families,” he said. “Often the family would request that the minister would accompany them to the funeral home when there is a loss, so I’m there for moral support and encouragement and I would watch to see what goes on behind the scenes. “If it’s a sudden loss, everyone’s in shock, and the first thing that the funeral director says is ‘I’m so sorry for your loss, but before we do anything else, we need all this personal information about your mom.’” The problem, said Chapman, is that many people don’t know their moth-
“I get a real charge out of knowing that I have helped someone do something so loving for their family.” — James Chapman er’s maiden name, or their grandparents’ first names. “And we can’t issue the death certificate without this. Some people get angry with us and say, ‘don’t you realize we’ve just had this loss.’ “But when arrangements have been taken care of, it’s a different story. So actually the last memory they have of their loved one is taking responsibility for themselves as an act of love towards their family.” Alternatives began in the Fraser Valley in 1992 and is now the largest independently owned funeral home in western Canada. Chapman joined the company 12 years ago. “Our motto is ‘Our guidance, your decisions.’ It’s our job to give you the best guidance that I can in your situation, but ultimately you decide. “Once the paper work is done, I always ask them the same question, ‘So Mr. Wilson, how do you feel?’ Their response is always, ‘I feel great, I feel like a burden is lifted off my shoulders.’” A father of three grown children, with his first grandchild on the way, Chapman loves his work, even if most people have a difficult time understanding it. “Even though people feel really sorry for me because
all I do is talk about death, actually it’s about life. “In this industry, in order for us to be successful, we have to know how to care. You can’t look at this as a job and succeed, so that’s why some of the most amazing people you’ll ever meet work at a funeral home because they see people at their most difficult.” As a pastor, Chapman loved to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. And while he is no longer in a formal position of ministry, he continues to share the good news of a different kind. “By helping people plan ahead I give them the peace of mind knowing that everything’s taken care of. I get a real charge out of knowing that I have just helped someone do something so loving for their family members who are going to be the recipients of this beautiful gift down the road. That gives me huge personal satisfaction.” If you’d like to learn more about planning ahead, Chapman will be at an information kiosk at the Village Green Centre Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, beside Peoples Jewellers. He will also have information on will-writing and the role of the executor, and a raffle to win a full estate planning and executor’s tool kit.
Alan Wolfelt workshop helps to guide the grieving Morning Star Staff
Alan Wolfelt believes that there are three forgotten truths surrounding grief and loss, and the renowned grief counsellor and educator will share those truths in two seminars next week at the Vernon Atrium and Conference Centre. In the workshop presented by Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services, participants will learn how those who walked before us have much to teach about the mysteries of life and death. And you will learn about the wisdom anchored in three paradoxical truths of mourning: you must say hello before
you can say goodbye; you must make friends with the darkness before you can enter the light; you must go backward before you can go forward. Wolfelt is director of the Center for Loss and Life Transition in Colorado. He is a faculty member of the University of Colorado Medical School’s Department of Family Medicine and the author of more than 50 bestselling books on grief and loss. His workshops, “Exploring the Need to Grieve and Mourn: Healing Yourself, Your Family, and Your Friends,” and “Exploring the Paradoxes of Mourning: Enhancing Your Understanding of the
Three Forgotten Truths,” take place May 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. for the general public, with doors open at 5:30 p.m., and May 17 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. for caregivers, and aimed at helping those who want to learn more about how to support people who have experienced loss. Nurses, psychologists, counselors, social workers, chaplains and other professionals helping people cope with traumatic grief are invited to attend — doors open at 8 a.m. As a former pastor and community care and advance planning services see EXPLORING on page A13

Pruning tomato plants means more fruit
ots of people have their gardens already all planted for the season while others are only getting the grounds ready. I have pea pods showing and little tomatoes but lots to do yet. Someone was asking about how to prune tomato plants. I usually do it at the start of the season, but A GArdener’s diAry as I get busy with all Jocelyne Sewell the plants, sometimes the job is only half done. In order to explain pruning properly, I found a few sites on the internet. The first is from www.tomatodirt.com. Pruning tomato plants can maximize
the number, size, and flavour of your tomatoes. Find out how a little trim can mean bigger, tastier fruit. There are several good reasons pruning tomato suckers can help your plants: earlier production, larger, healthier fruit, disease prevention. How to pinch off a sucker: “simple pruning.” Pruning tomato sucker shoots when they are young and tender is better than waiting until the sucker is mature and strong. Carefully grasp the base of the sucker between the thumb and forefinger. Pinch it or bend the sucker back and forth gently until it snaps. This technique is called “simple pruning.” (A sucker is the part of the plant that grows between the stem and the leaves.) Use your fingers to pinch young suckers rather than clippers or a knife.
Pinched wounds will heal quickly and are less disease-prone on young plants. When stems become older and tougher you may need to use a retractable blade or garden clippers rather than fingers on older plants. Disinfect your tool to prevent an infection to the tomato plant. You have to be careful if using your fingers that you don’t peel the main stem when removing the sucker. Pruning cautions: Don’t overprune in hot climates. If you grow tomatoes in an area that is hot, be careful not to overprune. Too much sunlight or steady, intense sunlight can lead tomatoes to develop sunscald. Go easy on pruning determinate varieties, which set the bulk of their crop at one time. Each plant produces a limited number of fruit
before ceasing production. Avoid pruning determinate varieties or pinch back only suckers that appear below the first flower cluster, or you will reduce your yield. Indeterminates, on the other hand, will continue to grow and set fruit until frost. Pruning tomato suckers on indeterminates helps produce healthier, tastier, more abundant fruit. Pruning and staking go hand in hand. When a tomato plant is nicely pruned and staked well, its leaf tips are open to the sun and are able to conduct photosynthesis without excess stress. Because the plant doesn’t have to work extra hard to make sugar, energy produced by the leaves invested in developing strong, flavorful, healthy tomatoes. For more information: 250-558-4556 or plantlady1@shaw.ca
Exploring the three paradoxical truths surrounding grief and loss Continued from page A12 director with Alternatives, James Chapman encourages everyone who is living with grief and loss to attend. “Everybody processes differently and Dr. Wolfelt will say that many people are dealing with a loss that has never been processed,” said Chapman. “We need to process not suppress. We like to just not think about it and maybe it will go away, but it comes out in depression, aches and pains, insomnia.” Chapman said western society still likes to abide by the “keep-your-chin-up” mentality when it comes to grief, so different from what he experienced as a child in
Equatorial Guinea, West Africa, where his parents were missionaries. “When someone died you could not sleep because the wailing went on all night,” he said. “And if the person who passed away had some level of prestige in the village, the family would hire mourners and there would be this big procession all through the village and everybody would follow and they’d be crying and there would be this huge hoopla, so it accomplished exactly what we need to accomplish here and that is, we honour this person, we cry within our deepest soul for this person — that’s process, not suppress. “What I get all the time is ‘I’m here to take care of my dad who is in palliative care.’ The tone is neutral, not one bit
of emotion. I am all business with him but inside I’m crying out because I know that inside he’s hurting and there will come a day when it’s all going to hit him. But right now he’s in denial and he doesn’t want to feel, so what has he done? Push it down and it all goes away. We live in a society that doesn’t want to think about it, doesn’t want to look at it and doesn’t want to talk about it.” Everyone is welcome to Wolfelt’s seminars next week, but pre-registration is required by calling Alternatives at 250-558-0866. Tickets are $10, payable by cash or cheque, and registrations will not be accepted at the door. Tickets can also be picked up at the Vernon Alternatives office, 4417-29th St., week days, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Artist Sheila Tansey has decorated two bike lockers in Lake Country. Locker space is currently for rent.
Carin for our communit hospital
New lockers urge cycling Using the work of artist Sheila Tansey, two new bike lockers in Lake Country are now decked out as public art that promote active transportation. “We now have the best looking bike lockers in the region and we want to encourage more people to get out of cars and walk or cycle,” said Greg Buchholz, director of infrastructure services. “When they drive by the new bike locker at the roundabout at Bottom Wood Lake Road and Berry Road by the bus stop, we hope people will think about using a more active form of transportation like walking or cycling to get around the community.” A number of municipal staff cycle to work, as do George Elliot Secondary teachers and students and local business owners. Residents that would like to take transit more frequently but don’t live near a bus stop are invited to cycle and securely park their bike in one of the new lockers near the municipal office and Winfield Memorial Hall) and jump on the bus to get to their destination. The $10 a month fee to rent the bike locker will be waived
for those using the locker at least eight days per month. “I enjoy cycling for work and pleasure and I am honoured that my paintings were chosen for the new bike lockers in Lake Country,” said Tansey.

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations. The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hullcar Hall in April. Spallumcheen has also gotten full support from its municipal colleagues. A motion calling for the Union of B.C. Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to require mandatory environmental farm plans, including soil testing, and that communities be allowed to limit uses in areas with sensitive vulnerable aquifers and waterbodies, was unanimously passed at the Southern Interior Local Government Association’s annual general meeting. “The resolution will go to UBCM and it’s really just one step,” said Brown. “Anything going around aquifers, be it farms or industry, we have to protect the aquifers.” High nitrate levels have been recorded in the Hullcar aquifer for two years with residents and professionals pointing to a dairy farm spraying liquid manure several times a year as the “likely source” of the contamination. The province, however, refuses to name the farm as the source and, in a letter
addressed to the township, will not share results with council or residents. “I would like to assure you that the ministry has released all information we are able to legally,” wrote Mary Polack, provincial environment minister. “The farm’s nutrient management plan has not been issued publicly as the publication of these documents would violate the federal Copyright Act. The information from the farm has been shared with the appropriate B.C. government ministries. “The information was factored into Interior Health Authority’s decision to institute a water quality advisory, and was also provided to the ministry of agriculture by the ministry of environment when seeking professional advice on the farm’s applications for nutrient application.” All information, said Polack, has been forwarded to the B.C. government experts as required to ensure protection of human health and the environment.
Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.
Without Audéo V
With Audéo V
The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays. This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and can amplify only his or her voice,
while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates. Interested people can register for a free hearing test and trial of the Audéo V by calling 1.888.408.7377

Maya Bandy (left), Karsen O’Hara, Kyla Gauthier and Spencer Plovie prepare for Kal Carnival at Kalamalka Secondary School Friday. The carnival will include a number of activities, including a fish pond, face painting, a dunk tank and a cake walk.
INTRODUCING
Kal Carnival comes back richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A Coldstream tradition is back and everyone is invited. Kal Carnival returns to Kalamalka Secondary School Friday after an eight-year absence. “We have activities for all ages and we hope former grads will come back and relive the spirit of carnival,” said Ian Busfield, teacher. For many members of the leadership committee organizing the event, they were small children the last time Kal Carnival was held. “I remember coming and wandering around the school,” said Maya Bandy, who is in Grade 12. “We were mixed up with the older kids and we were excited about coming to Kal.” The push to resurrect carnival came from the leadership committee itself. “It pumps everyone up and makes us more of
a group,” said Kyla Gauthier, Grade 12, of the school. The carnival runs from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. and it includes a variety of inflatables, a dunk tank, a cake walk, a fish pond, face painting and a concession area. There will also be a horse plop where ticketholders wait to see if the animal’s calling card is left in their square. The winner takes home $500. It was decided to use a horse this time because previous attempts with a cow were frustrating. “One year, with a cow, we waited for seven hours. The carnival was over before anything happened,” said Busfield. Tickets for the horse plop are $5 each and they must be purchased before 4 p.m. Busfield hopes residents from throughout Greater Vernon will attend Kal Carnival. “We want to create a real family spirit in the school,” he said.

Killer A’s crank up Tolko attack Morning Star Staff
They call them the Killer A’s for their scoring touch in Under 11 Girls Rep Development Girls. And the trio of Aimee Skinner, Anna Hirschkorn and Adelynn Heyes filled the net again Sunday, figuring in all nine goals as Tolko Vernon United Strikers won twice Sunday in Salmon Arm. The Strikers stopped Kamloops Blaze 3-1 before grounding Kelowna United 6-2 at Interior Savings Credit Union Sportsplex. Skinner found Hirschkorn at the top of the box to give the Strikers a 1-0 lead versus the Blazers. Minutes later, Heyes connected from six yards on a pass from Skinner. Skinner closed the attack after Hirschkorn found her on the left side of the net. Kamloops scored late to break the shutout. Lauren Hoard and Naomi Klein were solid in net, while Jessica Bond, Joelle Kohtala and Clara Meyer were dynamic defensively. In their second match, Vernon jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead as Heyes found Skinner just inside the box, who then cracked her shot off the inside of the left post. Heyes then doubled the lead after pouncing on a Hirschkorn rebound. Kelowna stormed back with two fast goals to level things just before half, but the Killer A’s responded with a flurry in the second half. Hirschkorn hammered in an 18-yard free kick just under the bar to give Vernon the lead. Heyes then intercepted a Kelowna throw-in and broke in all alone to beat the keeper to the left side.
Skinner and Hirschkorn then combined on two corners, with Hirschkorn delivering the crosses and Skinner converting both, the second off a header. “The header goal was spectacular,” said Striker coach Rolf Hirschkorn. “It was a great cross and a spectacular finish.” Macy Blades and Sophia Bilodeau were noted for strong showings on defence and midfield respectively. The Vernon Blasters split their games in Salmon Arm, losing 4-0 to Kelowna S and rallying back for a 4-1 win over Kelowna F. Strong forward play by Abby Lawlor allowed Kristin Francks to pull the hat trick in the Blasters’ win. McKenna Jackson added a single.

Shamrocks mourn loss of popular veteran Morning Star Staff
The Armstrong Shamrocks played with heavy hearts at home Friday. The Shamrocks went into the back end of their Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League home-and-home series with the Kelowna Raiders Friday night at the Nor-Val Sports Centre dealing with the loss of teammate Brody SouthwellBerg, who was killed in a car accident near his hometown of Blind Bay, in the Shuswap, early Friday morning. “He was a great player and teammate who was friendly, always had a smile on his face and was a pleasure to coach,” said Shamrocks assistant coach and general manager Jeff Hanley. “Brody was a favourite amongst the other players. He was a great asset to the team on both offence and defence. He was a well-rounded player who could comfortably slide into whatever role we needed
him to.” Southwell-Berg, a left-handed shot, spent four years with the Shamrocks. He played in this year’s Archie Jack Icebreaker tournament and in the team’s Southwell-Berg season-opening loss to the Vernon Sun Valley Source For Sports Tigers, but had not played since. “He was trying to balance his schedule and we were all looking forward to his full-time return,” said Hanley. “His impact with the team this year would have been huge.” The Irish retired Southwell-Berg’s No. 22 prior to the start of Friday’s game. “It was a very tough call for all of us as far as playing tonight,” said Hanley on
Friday. “His death is a huge shock to all and we only learned of it this morning. The decision was made to carry on with tonight’s game in Brody’s honour which we all believe is what he would have wanted ,and I think it will give the guys a chance to properly pay their respects on the floor which I believe would mean a lot to Brody.” The Raiders outscored Armstrong 6-2 in the final 20 minutes to post a 12-10 win Friday, earning a split of the homeand-home. Sam Hanley led the Irish with six goals and an assist. Marlon Forrest had 2+6, Nik Luttmerding added 1+3 and Cameron Watson scored the other goal for Armstrong, who led 5-3 after one. It was the Shamrocks who came from behind Thursday at Kelowna Memorial Arena, scoring seven times in the final frame for a 15-14 win over the Raiders.
Forrest fired four goals for the ‘Rocks while Liam Drabiuk added 3+4. Sam Hanley, with 2+5, Chase Bronson and Blake Luttmerding added two goals each while singles went to Watson and Brody Drydyk to support Francois Leroux. The Tigers went to Penticton Monday night and iced the South Okanagan Flames 13-2 at Memorial Arena. Jordy Barr bagged four goals for Vernon. Ryan Sarazin had 3+2 and Jake Pelletier also added a hat trick. Quintin Harrish had 2+2 and Connor Webb rounded out the scoring. Steel Pelletier set up four goals, Brett Olsen chipped in three helpers. The Shamrocks (1-4) host the league-leading unbeaten Kamloops Venom (4-0) Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Tigers (2-1-1) play the Shamrocks in Vernon’s home opener Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Kal Tire Place.

Legends take Rocking silver Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Super 8 Legends had little left in the tank for the final of their own four-team Rock The House Midget B lacrosse tournament in Armstrong. Down to just eight runners due to absences and injuries suffered in the tourney, the Legends fell 10-1 to the Kelowna Kodiaks in Sunday’s gold-medal game at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Adam Mitchell scored five consecutive goals for the Kodiaks, who went 5-0 to claim gold. The Kodiaks led the finale 5-0 after one period and 7-1 after two. Drayden Harshenin had the only goal for the Legends, who gutted out a gritty 7-3 semifinal win over the Delta Islanders Sunday morning with only nine runners, and lost sniper Sean Howard to a shoulder injury late in the game. After falling behind 1-0, Sam Knox sparked a four-goal first-period outburst with a breakaway marker, as the Legends led 4-1 after 20 minutes, and increased the margin to 6-2 after 40 minutes. Griffin Evans had three goals for North Okanagan while singles went to Amy Fox, Howard and Harshenin, who took game MVP honours for his relentless hustle. The win avenged a 3-2 round-robin loss to the Islanders, who scored three unanswered goals in the final period. Wyatt Fowler and Harshenin scored for the Legends with goalie Troy Cuzzetto named game MVP. Cuzzetto was a rock all weekend despite playing with a nasty head cold.
The Legends were 1-2 in the preliminary round. They opened Friday with a 6-1 loss to the Kodiaks. Howard scored while Harshenin was MVP. North Okanagan finished off with an 8-3 win over the Kamloops Rattlers, with Macey Drabiuk taking a pass from Knox and scoring a beauty of a shot for the winner before leaving the game and the tournament with a severe ankle sprain. The game also featured the first-ever goal by the Legends’ Michael Jmio, on a breakway, on a sweet pass from Fox.

Howes jumpstarts Bosman biggie Morning Star Staff
Bosman Accounting stopped their losing skid at four games by clipping Cantinas 2-1 in Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ Soccer League play Monday night at Parkinson Field #9. Bosman (1-4) carried most of the play in the first half with multiple solid attempts at goal. The Cantina keeper recorded a few outstanding saves in Kelowna. Midway through the first half, Mike Grace fed a long pass to Gerry Geelkerken, who was in front of the net, heading the ball in the low left corner. It looked like a sure goal but somehow the keeper tipped the ball wide. Bosman kept pressing in the second half and at 55 minutes, Barry MacKay was taken down inside the 18. David Howes converted the penalty. MacKay delivered an excellent cross to oncoming left midfielder Laurent Dansereau near the 69th minute and Dansereau headed in the ball with full power despite just recovering from a concussion. Cantinas (1-4) narrowed the gap on a a scramble and pressed hard trying to get the equlizer. Howes was named the Bosman Accounting Man of the match. The Turn-Key Ogopogos brushed off Mind Smart United of Kelowna 4-1 at Marshall Field #2. Mark Wasylyk deflected the ball high towards the net as the ball came down from the crossbar past the keeper’s fingertips for an early goal, assisted by Rick Danyluk. Bryan Schenker nodded in the 2-0 snipe, also set up by Danyluk, finishing the first-half offence. Ruben Cervantes buried his own rebound to make it 3-0
before Wasylyk was pushed down from behind inside the 18, He converted the PK. Cash & Carry Prospera Player of game was Danyluk, who also provided tenacious defensive work and, as usual, provided a full cooler of beverages post-game. Both teams are 2-3. RPM Automotive of Kelowna ambushed the Okanagan Spring Brewery Camels 7-1 at Parkinson Field #8. The Humpbacks (3-1-1) were without all-star keeper Dave Dutcher so went with striker Mike Daly and central fullback Mike Collins in net. It was 1-0 RPM in the 33rd minute and 5-0 when Johnny Orton cracked his ninth goal of the year in the 75th minute for the Camels. Sammi Kimpian (3), Wayne Clarke, Jason Jennens, Roger Russell, and Steve Cox scored for RPM (2-2-1). It was the same old story for Brown Benefits as they fell behind early but managed yet another 3-2 comeback win, this time over Mission Cleaners, at Mission #10 Sportsfield. The Mission lads grabbed a quick 2-0 lead after Dave Jenkinson scored on a breakaway and then set up Gigi Moldovan, who went top cheddar on a second breakaway. Browns found their game and some great work by Man of the Match Tony Gonzales was finished off by Lionel Hoffman from close range shortly before halftime. Browns levelled things when Gord Brown’s long-range effort – or possible cross – looped into the top corner over keeper Andy Jopling. Gonzales sprung the offside trap from Steve Fagan’s through ball and broke in alone to score the winner. Browns went to 5-0, while Mission dipped to 2-3.

Vernon Tolko United battled Penticton Pinnacles to a 1-1 draw in Thompson Okanagan Under 14 Boys Rep Soccer League play Sunday afternoon at Marshall Field. Vernon opened the scoring on a nice individual play from Aidan Buckley as he deked a couple of defenders before firing the ball home. Keeper Jared Ross made several great saves to keep Penticton off the sheet until the final minutes when they took advantage of a trip and moved in for the equalizer. Luc Jones and Tage Kineshanko turned in powerful showings for Vernon. The U14s are coached by Calvin Reich, Bobbi Catt and James Cotter. Vernon bowed 3-0 to Kelowna in U15 Boys Rep play.

Lazarus Long, a Robert Heinlein character, said, “Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors and miss.” That is apropos since this is the day by which Americans must have filed their tax returns for 2015.
South’s two-diamond rebid was New Minor Forcing, showing at least gameinvitational strength and asking North to describe his hand further. When North indicated three-card spade support, South jumped to game in that suit. Note that in three no-trump, North should immediately lose four hearts and one diamond.
For two weeks, we have been looking at the few bidding conventions I believe pairs should employ. But it is no use bidding perfectly if you play imperfectly -- although if you are always in the best contract, you will be tough to beat. In today’s deal, how should the play go in four spades? West leads the heart two. East takes the trick with his ace and leads the suit back. West wins,
Not that four spades is a walk in the park, since declarer must handle the trump suit without loss. What is the right way to try to do that? South should win in the dummy and lead the spade jack. He hopes that East holds the king and either defender
has 10-doubleton. When East covers, declarer takes the trick and cashes the spade queen. Here, this works. Notice that if South starts with a low spade from the board (a sensible alternative), East can put up his king! Then South would surely win and lead a spade to dummy’s nine.

Leonard (Len) Zubyk With love, laughter and tears we announce the passing of Leonard Zubyk on May 2nd, 2016 in Vernon, B.C. at the age of 88 years. Len was born in Port Alice, B.C. on March 11th, 1928 and shortly there after, his parents moved the family to Haney, B.C. where Len spent his growing up years. Len joined the Merchant Navy in 1944. In 1947, after the Navy he went to work for the CPR as a fireman. Len moved to Cranbrook, B.C. while working for the CPR and during those years he learned to fly. Eventually he and his good friend Jerry bought a Cessna together and they enjoyed flying all around the Kootenays. Len met his soul mate Marguerite in 1959 and they eloped and were married in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho two weeks after they met. Their life together lasted 57 years. Len and Marg started their family on a ranch in Cranbrook, B.C. During this time Len continued to work for the CPR and in the fall seasons he guided big game hunters. In 1972 Len moved his family to the Vernon / Coldstream area and went to work for Riverside Forest Products as a sawmill foreman. He spent his time with his family enjoying the outdoors and raising animals and gardening on his hobby farm. He also enjoyed hunting in the Kootenays and catching the big salmon on Vancouver Island. 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.

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. Len will be forever missed by his wife Marguerite, his son Ken and by his daughter Wendy. Miss you Pops!

tographer take a new one and get it ready for action. But, alas, it never saw the light of day. You see I do have a bit of a procrastination problem, and then, there’s the fact that time takes a toll and maybe I’d rather be portrayed in the paper as that 2003
I fully admit if we hadn’t gone to a new look it may have never happened. And it’s not like the previous one’s not from this millennium or anything. OK, that does sound pathetic. What you see is what you get, although it should be pointed out that I’m not so
A Prayer for the Unborn Divine Savior, when Herod sought to murder you, your life was saved by the efforts of Mary and Joseph, who fled with you to safety in a foreign land. May all mothers and fathers look upon their unborn children with the same love and concern. I pray, O Lord, for all the unborn children, that they may know you and enjoy the blessings of eternal life in your kingdom. I pray even more that you will touch the hearts of all those who are tempted to harm the life of the unborn child, and fill them with the special love you have for innocent humanity. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend the souls of those children whose lives have ended before birth. May all who have sought the destruction of the life of an unborn child experience the grace of repentence and turn to you with contrite heart. Amen

week’s, which may or may not actually date back to Nov. 14, 2003, I didn’t have glasses, let alone trifocals, and I still had a forehead, not a fivehead as displayed above, but, hey, at least my bald spot isn’t showing (he said, later acknowledging that sounded a tad desperate). If the truth be known I have meant to update my mug shot on several occasions, even going so far as to have the staff pho-
when I’m really, well, you do the math. And it’s not like some people in these parts hadn’t already noticed. A fellow hockey parent, who shall remain nameless but his first name starts with D and ends with AVE, about five years ago started bugging me about maybe updating my mug shot one of these days. Well, Dave, er whatever your name is, that day has finally come.
And it’s not all bad. It’s true I look much older, not to mention it’s a more accurate reflection of present reality, but I also look a little wiser and maybe even deserving of a little more respect (not the help across the street kind but the this guy may know a thing or two kind). Plus I now get discounts at some of my favourite fast-food restaurants, without even asking. Who knows, I might even get recognized the odd time now?
