A tower of planning gets underway RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Doctors, nurses and support workers are preparing to embrace the next generation in health care. The keys to Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s new Polson tower were handed over to the Interior Health Authority Monday to signify the completion of construction. “The concrete and plaster is in place but now the real work begins, turning this place into a home for our patients and staff,” said Allan Sinclair, IHA’s vice-president of acute services. The tower will be open to patients Sept. 25 and prior to that, staff will go through intense training. “They will know the space they’ve got and the systems,” said Sinclair. The tower includes an emergency department four times the size of the current one, a covered ambulance garage, an ambulatory care centre, operating rooms almost double the size of the current ones, a maternity/ pediatric ward and intensive care and coronary care units. “There is much better technology in terms of what we can do,” said Sinclair. “There is a much more technologically advanced intensive care unit.” Strict goals have been set to ensure the tower is ready for Sept. 25. “The time we have to train all staff is sufficient,” said Sinclair. Construction on the 231,000-square-foot, seven-storey tower got underway Nov.17, 2008.

A large crowd gathers outside the Polson tower Monday as the keys to the new facility are officially handed over to the Interior Health Authority. “It’s hard to believe that three years ago we were drawing up plans for this muchneeded facility,” said Michael Baybutt, chairperson of Infusion Health, the consortium involved in the development. Construction was done ahead of schedule and within the $180 million budget. “It represents more than bricks and mor-
tar. It represents a community space. It represents space for healing and support,” said Baybutt of the tower. It can also claim some superlatives. It is twice the size of Wesbild Centre and Vernon’s tallest building. Graham Design Builders built the structure while Stantec Consulting did the
design. Construction involved 1,500 people, who put in about 700,000 hours. “Today is a day for all of them to be proud,” said Dave Corcoran, Graham project director. Black and MacDonald will be responsible for hospital maintenance until 2042.

made it clear to the media after court that Harris is still very much part of her legal team. What brought a smile to Ashton and her supporters was Crown’s agreement to remove one of her bail conditions that she has been under since September 2009, and that is not being allowed to be in the company of someone under the age of 17. For supporter Sheila Stainton, the news brought tears of happiness. “My son and her son can play together at Deb’s house with Deb there,” said Stainton. “I’m thrilled with the decision. This is fabulous. Her son has been young through a large part of this and unable to have a normal childhood.” Five bail conditions will remain including
Ashton not permitted to have any contact with the accuser or four of his friends. Ashton is facing charges of sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under 14 and invitation to sexual touching under 14 in regards to an alleged relationship with a former student at a Vernon elementary school between September 2002 and January 2004. She is also facing two new charges of perjury, laid in April, in connection with the first trial. Ashton appeared in Vernon Provincial Court last week, and the matter was put over until May 26. Crown also successfully requested that three unnamed exhibits from the first trial be turned over to the RCMP until midJune.

News Prison protest draws sharp criticism RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Tension remains high over a proposed prison in Lumby. Some officials are upset after about 50 residents protested against a correctional facility at the B.C. Liberal convention in Penticton May 13. “I wasn’t pleased with some of the things I saw on their signs,� said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA and a Lumby resident. “They said that I had cheated them and that I’m a liar.� During a recent referendum, 56 per cent of those who voted in the village said yes to a prison while 44 per cent said no. In adjacent Area D of the North Okanagan Regional District, 34 per cent voted yes while 66 per cent voted no. Lumby council has decided to pursue a jail, and Mayor Kevin Acton questions the Penticton rally. “It’s not fair to people in the village who voted for it,� he said. “It frustrates me that people can’t let it go and move on.� Fifty people going to Penticton and making a scene won’t make a big difference in the eyes of the government.� Prison opponents say it was necessary to take their message directly to the government. “We want them to know that neither mayor Acton nor MLA Eric Foster have a mandate to pursue the prison since 56 per cent of residents voted no,� said Huguette Allen, group spokesperson. “Mayor Acton is still pursuing the prison saying that Lumby village voted 56 per cent in favour. Yet prior to the vote, Mayor Acton was quoted in The Morning Star as saying, ‘We consider Area D as the Lumby community. It’s one community.’� Allen is concerned that her group’s concerns are not being represented in Victoria. “Eric Foster had assured us that in his opinion, only a strong yes vote, around 70 per cent yes, would warrant Lumby being considered by the province for a suitable

We take to the streets to exercise our democratic right to be heard,� said Allen. Foster says the protest caught the attention of his government colleagues. “Most of the people were curious about why the referendum passed and yet these people were protesting. I explained there were two referendums — one in the village and one in the rural area,� he said.
The Ministry of Public Safety is reviewing possible prison locations in Lumby, Summerland, Penticton, the Penticton Indian Band and the Osoyoos Indian Band. “We’re right up there with anyone else who has put a proposal forward,� said Acton, adding that Lumby needs economic development. “We’re a small, struggling town and we need a shot in the arm.�
Victim linked to suspects in Vernon shooting ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Police have now confirmed the four people involved in a Vernon shooting knew each other. RCMP report the May 13 shooting in a 7-Eleven parking lot in the 3200 block of 39th Avenue at around 11:15 p.m. centred around drugs. “The RCMP would like to assure the public that this incident is not a random act of violence that took place,� said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesperson “All parties involved knew each other. The incident revolved
“This incident is not a random act of violence that took place.� — Gord Molendyk around the local drug trade.� An individual jumped into a vehicle in which a 32-year-old Vernon man was sitting, produced a gun and demanded his wallet. The victim fled the vehicle and was shot in the shoulder. As he ran towards the store, he was assaulted by two other individuals, receiving blows to the back
and the head area. The victim was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, treated and released. Two suspects were arrested shortly after the incident while the third, the alleged shooter, was arrested Saturday morning. A police service dog recovered some evidence from the incident,
and Molendyk said the gun used in the incident is believed to be homemade. It has not been recovered. Molendyk said the incident is not gang-related. George Denis Deschamps, 27, has been charged with aggravated assault, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and assault with a weapon. Anthony Raymond Edwards, 40, and Daniel Adam Vaneck, 34, have been charged with assault with a weapon. Molendyk announced Tuesday that the victim is facing four charges from a prior incident. “The previous incident likely contributed to Friday’s event,�

Dix demands VJH beds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The provincial government is being accused of consistently ignoring overcrowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. NDP leader Adrian Dix stopped at VJH Monday to support the Purple Ribbon campaign, which is demanding more acute care beds. “This community raised the issue in 2006. They raised it again in 2007, 2008 the same thing, 2009. It’s time for action,” he said. “The issues haven’t been addressed for a long time because the Liberals take the Okanagan for granted. This will be one of the ridings that decides the election.” Dix claims the government’s priorities are wrong. “How does it make sense to cut taxes for large corporations but you can’t fund basic services?” he said. “What have they been doing? They have been in government for 10 years.” Dix is demanding that funds be directed towards opening up the two shelled-in floors in the new patient care tower that are designated for future beds. “If every day, you’re at 161 or 162 (patients) in a
hospital of 148, that’s not safe,” he said, adding that would be one of his first steps if he were to become premier. “This isn’t just an answer of acute care. Government has failed in the area of community care.” Dix says B.C. has the worst track record for health care spending in Canada. “We spend 24 per cent less than Alberta and the consequences are being felt.” Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, defends the government’s actions and he insists the two floors will be constructed although there isn’t a set timeline. “There have been a lot of discussions. We’re trying to figure out how we will pay for it,” he said. It could cost about $10 million to develop each of the shelled-in floors for use by patients, and then $10 million each annually to operate the floors. Foster took aim at Dix’s comments. “It’s easy to make promises when you’re not the person writing the cheque,” said Foster, adding that the government faces financial pressures across B.C. “Where does he plan to come up with the money? When the day comes that we can do it, we’ll do it.”

“Cool as a cucumber” isn’t just a catchy phrase. The inner temperature of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. No wonder these are such a summertime favourite! Cool & moist due to their high water content. “Cukes” belong to the same family as pumpkins, zucchini, watermelon & other squashes. Cucumbers are very low in calories & contain no fats or cholesterol. They are a great source of potassium & the best friend of any salad recipe!

Salmon River continues to pose a risk RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Falkland residents continue to cast an eye towards the swollen banks of the Salmon River. A flood watch remains in place for areas adjacent to the river. “It came up about six inches last night but no houses are in danger yet,” said Rene Talbot, Columbia-Shuswap Regional District director, Tuesday.
“It came up about six inches last night.” — Rene Talbot “Some of the farmers’ fields around Cedar Hill have water in them.” Talbot said sandbags are in plentiful supply if residents need to protect their homes.
Measurements from the Water of Survey of Canada show flows along the Salmon River at a two-year level. Temperatures are expected to remain
warm, and that could lead to river levels rising modestly or remain elevated today. “It all depends on how much rain there is and how warm it gets,” said Talbot. “We just have to wait and see what happens.” The Shuswap Emergency Program is reminding Falkland residents to be prepared for possible flooding. “Take the time now to develop a plan with your family and have an
emergency kit prepared,” said Bev Minaker, with the program. “If your property is prone to flooding, continually monitor the weather and river fore-
cast updates and take measures to protect your property.” For information on the flood watch, go to www.sepadvisory.com. The website also has
information on flood proofing your home and flood fighting methods. Residents can also access details by calling 250-833-3350 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Look in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s a person skydiving without a parachute. Or so, that’s what some people reported to Vernon RCMP Sunday afternoon. Police received a call shortly after noon that a person had come down from the sky without his parachute. “Our member attended and spoke with the skydiver, a man, who had in fact come down with his reserve chute,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “The skydiver told our member that his main chute had not opened properly and he had to cut away and land with his second one.” This, according to Molendyk, was no big deal for the skydiver. “He told us it had happened to him six previous times. Yes, six times,” said Molendyk. The skydiver was uninjured.

Stampede ropes up 93 years of fun Morning Star Staff
Going 93 years strong, one of Canada’s longest-running rodeos is saddling up for its May long weekend performance. Thousands are expected to fill the bleachers as the Falkland Stampede action runs from Saturday to Monday. “What started out as a community picnic in 1919 has evolved into a three-day professional rodeo, which we take pride in presenting to our faithful rodeo fans,� said Ozzy Leaf, one of the event organizers. Today, the Falkland Stampede ranks in calibre among the top 12 in Canada. Along with top rodeo stars, the event attracts visitors from all over. In fact, Falkland is already preparing for the motorhomes and campers to start rolling into town. “Some families have been coming here for some 40 years or more and make this their

Loosening the belt
V
ernon officials have been singing the budgetary blues — that residents have been hit hard by the recession and now is the time to ease back on spending. But the May 9 council meeting told a far different story. It all started when the politicians approved an extra $21,000 for renovations at the former Lakers clubhouse on Cummins Road. Apparently, the original $60,000 wasn’t enough to cover electrical and heating problems missed during the building inspection. A kitchen will also be installed. The goal is to convert this space into a community hall where Richard Rolke recreational programs, weddings, meetings and other activities can be held. One has to wonder, though, if it will draw crowds or will it mirror the largely vacant and heavily subsidized Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium. Is there an actual return on investment? Obviously bringing summer camps and after-school programs closer to Okanagan Landing kids makes sense, but was Paddlewheel Park Hall considered as an option? That would support the activities of the non-profit Okanagan Landing Community Association while not burdening taxpayers with long-term operating and capital costs. Renting Lakers out for special events could also generate competition for Paddlewheel Park Hall. Hands were also raised May 9 for $3,883 so the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra can perform at Polson Park July 1.
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
Yes, culture feeds the soul and obviously Canada’s 144th birthday is something to celebrate. But I can’t shake the image of Marie Antoinette in her powdered-wig as those who can’t make ends meet or struggle to find employment gather in the park to listen to the classics. The $3,883 is on top of the $3,570 the city has already committed to symphony operations this year. Given that, you wouldn’t expect OSO to hit up the city for more to perform. It’s also rather ironic that the same politicians who want to promote cultural experiences for the public have been ignoring the inadequate conditions at the museum and art gallery for years. City officials undoubtedly will argue the money for the clubhouse and the concert is coming from reserves and not directly impacting taxpayers’ bottom line. But consider that reserves are like your personal savings account. If you keep dipping into it, eventually the ability to tackle emergencies is gone. To replenish reserves takes money and that largely comes from taxes, so residents are ultimately left picking up the tab. Reserves bolstered by casino funds can be seen as an endless source of cash but given the provincial government’s lust for money, there’s no guarantee the city will always have that revenue source to access. Use it wisely while it still exists. Members of Vernon council were quick to leave the public with the impression that the 2011 budget is a document dedicated to restraint and running as lean an operation as possible. But it appears like the belt has already been loosened a couple of notches.
There’s no question that the end of construction of Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s new tower is a positive step forward. After all, the structure will provide expanded space and state-of-the-art medical technology for a growing region. However, it’s also extremely obvious that those responsible for the structure are trying to control the message that goes out to the public. During the official presentation of the keys Monday, considerable praise was directed towards health care workers and how the tower will expand opportunities for patient care. But amidst all of the suits worn by politicians, Interior Health Authority administration and contractors, you couldn’t find individuals who will actually work in the building. There were no rank-and-file nurses and the physicians didn’t find out about the ceremony until after the fact. Their absence suggests the powers-that-be were concerned about what might happen in front of the media. The doctors and the nurses might have pointed out that while the tower is welcome, it will do absolutely nothing to ease chronic overcrowding. That would have placed pressure on IHA and the provincial government to explain that except for ongoing rhetoric, absolutely nothing has occurred to increase the number of acute care beds. With the construction crews wrapping up their activities, that means the two shelledin floors will not be developed immediately. But it may also make sense that the doctors and nurses weren’t invited to the ceremony. You wouldn’t want reality to stand in the way of a photo-op.

Is new tower enough?
I
fully support Dr. Ed Hardy and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Staff in their mission to improve conditions at the VJH. But Dr. Hardy is too kind and too circumspect in describing a situation which can only be viewed as being out of control and a border-line disaster. With the influx of out-of-province retirees into our city and an aging population generally, the government needs to step up to the plate and provide adequate funding for the health care system. As it is, ironically, the new tower provides the same number of acute care beds as the present facility. No improvement there and I don't know what will happen with all the wards being vacated in the old facility. It makes no sense having an acute care bed being occupied by a patient who should be in long-term care. The economics of that situation are downright silly. When you have an acute care bed costing, let's say $1,000 per day and long term bed costing, again, pick a number, $100 per day, the savings are obvious and immediate. We need more long-term care beds and we need them now. After that a more realistic assessment of acute-care needs can be made. The IHA itself should be made to be more cost-efficient. I have been told that, for instance, a blood test at BUDGET SHORTFALL In response to The Morning Star article on $1.7 million shortfall regarding Bill Turanski, school board chairperson. The good news is that this amount is less than the $2.1 million that was cut out of the education budget last year and $2.4 million the year before. As a matter of fact, 13 million dollars has been cut from the education budget in the last 13 years. How is it possible that there has been a $13 million reduction in the education budget you are wondering? Buses have been cut, programs have been cut, teachers and CEA’s have been cut, custodial staff has been cut, utilities are being rationed with no level of comfort in mind. Ridiculous situation you might say. There’s more. I read in the paper recently, that Vernon is hosting the Winter Games Feb. 23- 26 and we can expect 2,100 athletes and 2,800 volunteers. This is a great idea for Vernon, unfortunately, they are going to be housing these athletes in our schools free of charge during the
a private lab apparently costs the government hundreds of dollars less than when it is done at the hospital labs. Clearly the private labs have it over the hospital lab from an economic standpoint. Perhaps there is something to private health care. I recall when I had my first PSA test, I had to pay out of my own pocket. No problem, I happily pulled out $15 to give to whoever administered that test, but that person could not take my money.
school week. Students will be apparently given a few days off school, to be making up that time at a later date. We cannot expect these athletes to be walking all over town like our students do. They’ll probably be running the buses. The custodial staff will no doubt be required to work full days again to clean up after a few thousand people, that will be good, and they’ll probably have the heat on! My point is, who is running this show? If they can cut 1.7 million dollars out of next year’s education budget, close the schools down for the Winter Games to house athletes and coaching staff during the school week, perhaps there are some job opportunities for business people at the board office? Nadine Wilson THE 'A' WORD I, for one, have to agree with the letter entitled 'The 'A' word resurfaces.' If one looks at the area surrounding the city of Vernon one can see that a city with light industry and urban areas has evolved outward from the downtown area.
It would seem to make sense that the city limits evolved in a similar fashion but that does not seem to be the case. To me expanded city boundaries, which include the larger urban areas presently outside Vernon boundaries, would make sense. Obviously there would be taxation issues with such a realignment which would need to be worked out fairly. With some objective people involved, why wouldn't that be possible? It is time to look towards the future rather than trying to hold onto a system that may have worked well in the past but in many ways is ineffective in the present. I live in Coldstream and I have a great deal of difficulty relating to the slogan "Rural Living at Its Best" since I live in a strictly urban area of the municipality and all of the shopping and public facilities I use are in Vernon or elsewhere. Merrill Myers ROLLING ALONG A small group of us has been greatly enjoying rollerskating/rollerblading at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong on the weekends. And
Instead I had to wait three or four months to get a $15 bill originating from the Kamloops hospital. If the system was deliberately set up to be inefficient, they could not have done a better job. While my past experiences with VJH, the doctors and staff have been excellent, clearly the system is under a severe strain. My deepest respect to all. The government has to step up to the plate and provide adequate funding for the health care system. They cannot continue to rely on local fundraising to make up for the shortfall. We have paid into the system, with a reasonable expectation of medical care in our old age. Being stuck in a hallway is degrading, undignified and ethically questionable. We need long-term beds now. Concurrent with that, we need to provide adequate funding for acute care. I am certain all British Columbians will agree with me and fund a robust and caring health care system. I agree with Dr. Hardy that we need to hold our politicians' feet to the fire and tell them not to count on our votes if they procrastinate any longer. Are you listening Mr. Foster? Gerry M. Laarakker
starting in May we will be able to do so at the Wesbild Centre in Vernon on Mondays and Wednesdays. It is really wonderful to see families coming out, bringing kids who might otherwise be sitting at home playing video games or watching TV, who are instead having lots of fun and getting healthy in the process. The people who come out are many and varied with so many different levels of skill, it's always interesting and enjoyable. I watch beginners who fall down repeatedly but who are back the next time even more determined and I see their improvement each week. The joy of watching "Mr. Wheels" dance his way around the rink, grooving to the music and inspiring us to be even half that great! I remember skating in my teens and it is every bit as much fun as it used to be. What a fabulous way for families to have an inexpensive and healthy time together. So I would very much like to express my gratitude and thanks to the communities of Armstrong and Vernon for providing this opportunity and seeing it for the wonderful asset it is, and to
encourage other communities to consider doing this as well in their ice-free arenas. Debora Wolveson

It’s not exactly the thing a family expects to find in their home on a Monday morning. A Vernon family and the RCMP are puzzled after a bullet ended up in the home in the 7900 block of Okanagan Landing Road. “The owner discovered Monday morning that sometime overnight a bullet had been shot through a double-

residents in the area that they heard a shot around 2:30 a.m., but nobody reported the incident to police. The homeowners heard nothing, and didn’t discover the bullet hole until they woke up in the morning.
The residents are not known to police and the RCMP believe the incident may have been random. “We don’t know why this residence was hit,” said Molendyk. Nobody was hurt in the incident.
Lumby lines up rail protection RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby’s rail line can’t be sold for non-transportation uses. On Monday, council adopted a bylaw that creates a transportation corridor zone along the rail line. “It’s important to keep our options open,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich. The village decided to Lori Mindnich take action after the rail line between Spallumcheen and Grindrod closed two years ago. According to Mayor Kevin Acton, a transportation corridor, and particularly a rail line, is important to any future economic development
Driver flees crash ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man is facing impaired driving and dangerous operation of a motor-vehicle charges after a late-morning crash Sunday. Vernon RCMP were called to the area of 48th Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road just before 11:30 a.m. “The driver lost control of his vehicle, crashed and then took off on foot,” stated Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A police service dog was called to the scene, and the canine followed a track to the MacDonald Road area, where a 28-year-old man was found, arrested and taken into custody. The man provided breath samples for RCMP.
in Lumby. “It would be good for any industry that needs that kind of transportation,” he said. “And given the increasing gas prices, rail may be making a comeback.” However, the transportation corridor isn’t just limited to rail. The land could be used for a road or walking/ cycling trail. “If Canadian Pacific decides not to run the track in future, I’d like to see a path or passenger train,” said Mindnich. The village’s economic development committee is also on the verge of starting to look at potential ways to create investment and jobs in the community. “We want the committee to hit the ground running,” said Acton.
Anybody with any information on the shooting is asked to call the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Outdoor fitness pushed at park RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
An Enderby politician wants to get residents more active. Coun. Howie Cyr is recommending that the community invest in outdoor exercise equipment at Barnes Park. “I’ve looked at the system in Sicamous and with a range of residents using it there, it’s impressive,” he said. “There are a wide range of exercise activities you can Howie Cyr do.” The equipment provides the ability to focus on balance and flexibility, cardio, core strength and upper and lower body strength. Cyr is convinced there is a need to help residents stay in good physical condition, particularly with increasing concerns about obesity. He believes the machines could be popular with seniors. “This appeals to a wide range of age groups but baby boomers and seniors can work as hard as they want to work,” he said. There isn’t a concern that they could be the target of illegal activities. “They are well made so I’d be surprised that they could be vandalized,” said Cyr.

PRODUCING A FLASH MOB
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Karen Bliss jumps up on a table and bursts into song Saturday at the Village Green Centre food court as the cast of Valley Vocal Arts’ upcoming production, The Producers, take part in a flash mob over the lunch hour. Elijah Spates, two, gets a kick out of the performance put on by the cast who blended in with the crowd and then burst into song. The Producers opens at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre Thursday and continues with nightly performances until Saturday, with a matinee Sunday.
Singer rocks for a cause close to her heart KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
May has traditionally been the month for carnations, showing support for the many Canadians who have multiple sclerosis. While politicians and health officials continue to debate the controversial CVISS, or “liberation therapy,” in alleviating the effects of MS, a Salmon Arm singer/songwriter is doing her part to bring awareness and support to those suffering from the disease. Aimie Laws is bringing her Only Human Rock for MS tour through the North Okanagan at the end of the month to support the estimated 55,000 to 75,000 Canadians who have the debilitating auto immune disease that affects the central nervous system. Funds from her nine-date, 11-day tour, which features fellow B.C. musicians, will go towards research and education through the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. With 200 new cases diagnosed every week, MS is not just a cause célèbre for the singer, it has touched her close to home. “My step-dad has MS. He was diagnosed seven years ago... I felt helpless, and asked myself ‘what can I do?’ I started writing music, and sharing it. It was very therapeutic.” The former singer in a metal band, Laws put a lot of that emotion on her debut full-length album, Only Human, released last
URIEL LUBUK
Salmon Arm singer-songwriter Aimie Laws brings her Only Human Rock 4 MS tour to Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby at the end of the month to raise awareness and funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. summer during her showcase performance at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. She started writing and doing pre-production on the album after moving back to Salmon Arm from where she was living on the Sunshine Coast. “I also had a break up from my boyfriend so there was a lot going on,” said Laws who graduated from Shuswap Secondary School in 2003.
“When I started looking for people to support my album, I got a lot of help and support from people here. I owe a lot to this town.” Laws, who has also performed in a trio with fellow Shuswap artist Sasha Lewis, came into music while a teenager, singing in her high school choir, and taught herself guitar when she was 21. It was around then that she started dipping her pen into song writing.
Laws got her chance to perform live before an audience doing both acoustic gigs and opening for hard rock/metal bands. And she didn’t let her diminutive size hide the fact that she could tear the microphone apart with her powerful pipes. “I’ve been blessed with this loud mouth,” she laughed. “While I was in the metal band, I managed to keep up with the guys, and I learned a lot.”
This is the second time Laws has toured on the release of Only Human. The first time saw her cross the country in November, with the final stop at the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals Conference in Ottawa. And she is already writing new songs for an upcoming album while preparing for this current tour in support of MS. “The response has been bigger than I initially thought,” she said about Rock 4 MS. “I was going to do this by myself, but then asked anyone if they wanted to help, and everyone said they would,” said Laws. Sponsors, a promoter, a publicist and artists have all come on board. Even a student in Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School’s leadership class has lined up Laws and the other artists to perform a special gig at the school May 30. “I am really excited to talk to the kids and tell them nothing’s impossible,” said Laws. Joining the singer on certain dates will be some of B.C’s top artists from a variety of genres, including Versus The Nothing, Columbia, Grim Hymn and the Horrors, Furthermore, Jessica Myroon, Shannon Beth Ireland and Vernon’s own Immaculate. The Rock 4 MS Tour stops in Vernon’s Sneakers Pub May 27, the PVSS theatre May 30, as well as Enderby’s Cliffs Café May 31. All start at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10.

Arts Baba says ‘g’day’ in Dreamtime Downunder KRISTIN FRONEMAN
the Australia-Ukrainians to that of the ones that came to Canada is they immigrated from different regions.� Malysh had the most fun finding the similarities between the two cultures. “In the production, my husband plays the didgeridoo, while baba comes to him in her dream, and she brings out a trembita, a large horn from the Carpathian mountains,� said Malysh. “There’s another scene where he’s making damper, and Baba asks, ‘now what you are doing?’ When he tells her he’s making bread, she goes out and comes back with a beautiful braided Ukrainian bread. “She’s so proud of her heritage, she doesn’t understand there are other cultures too, while he has his own culture, but is respectful of (Baba Katarina’s.)� In the end, the great divide –– as vast as that from the Carpathian Mountains to Ayers Rock –– becomes a little closer. Dreamtime Downunder takes place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, May 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 seniors/students, and $10 for preschoolers at the Ticket Seller box office, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.
Morning Star Staff
The Australian Aboriginals have often referred to “the Dreaming� as a time when their natural environment took the form of mythic beings –– often in the shape of humanized animals. Although she is from a place seemingly far removed from the land Down Under, a Ukrainian baba is about to have some powerful dreams of her own when the Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble presents its 12th anniversary theatrical dance production at the Vernon Performing Arts centre, May 29. Entitled Dreamtime Downunder, the production has been choreographed and written by Sadok’s artistic director Andrea Malysh, who also plays Baba Katarina, a recurring character from previous Sadok dance productions. In Dreamtime, Baba becomes distraught when her daughter decides to marry an Australian. “The show goes back to the days of the early Ukrainian settlers. They didn’t go on holidays or travel, they worked. The next generation was different, they were travelling and taking holidays, and the older generation would ask, ‘why are you not working?’� said Malysh. “I relayed this experience

Baba Katarina (Andrea Malysh) dreams about Australia in the Sadok Ukrainian Ensemble’s new dance theatre production, Dreamtime Downunder, coming to the Performing Arts Centre May 29. a little bit to that of my mom and my husband, who is Australian... I remember her saying, ‘It’s great you’re dating my daughter, but you’re not taking her to Australia.’� Malysh, however, did move to Australia with her husband, Scott Chatterton, where she directed a Ukrainian dance group, and eventually they moved back to Malysh’s hometown of Vernon, where she started Sadok. Her husband and two children now dance in the group, and Chatterton has been polishing his Aussie accent to play the son-in-law in Dreamtime
Downunder. In the production, Baba starts to have dreams not unlike the aborigines, where strange creatures come to life from dancing koalas and kangaroos to a frilled-neck lizard. “It’s part of the dream, and in it it’s explained to her that there are a lot of cultural similarities between the Australians and the Ukrainians,� said Malysh. “The Ukrainians didn’t just go to Canada and the new world, they went all over the world. There was a large immigration in post-World War Two where they went to Australia. The biggest difference between
Shumka dances the hopak for its 50th KELOWNA –– The Toronto Star calls them a “national treasure.� Canada’s professional Ukrainian dance company, Shumka, is celebrating 50 years of dance tradition in a whirlwind of colour, power and grace at the Kelowna Community Theatre Monday. The performance, entitled Shumka at 50,
features 40 dancers performing to retrospective and all-new works, including two hopaks, highlighting the company’s unique style and energy. Ukrainian dance companies the world over are defined by their hopak (cossack dance) and Shumka’s 50th anniversary features two, including the 50th Anniversary
Hopak, choreographed by Dave Ganert, a powerful new piece representing the choreographic evolution of a traditional dance. All works presented in Sumka at 50 feature stunning sets and costumes by Maria Levitska of Ukraine’s National Ballet and Opera; music composition, arrangement and orchestration
by Yuri Shevchenko and Andriy Shoost of Kyiv, Ukraine; and music recorded in Ukraine by the 60-piece Kyiv City Opera Orchestra. Monday’s show at the Kelowna Community Theatre starts at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $28 to $50.40 (plus service fees), at Select Your Tickets (250-762-5050 or www. selectyourtickets.com.)

Cindy Khann and Sonny Law, two, take a walk along the sandy shores of Vernon’s Kin Beach.
North Okanagan residents heading to the Kelowna International Airport should be aware of road construction. Repaving and utility upgrades began along Airport Way, between Old Vernon Road and Aerospace Drive, Monday. At the same time, a multi-use pathway will be added which will include landscaping, trees, sidewalks, bus shelters and street lights. In addition, benches will be added for those who enjoy coming out to the airport to observe the landings and takeoffs of various aircraft that frequent YLW. Vehicles arriving to the airport from the North Okanagan are encouraged to use the main entrance at the lights. Traffic off Old Vernon Road along Airport Way may experience slight delays.

From June 13th to July 22nd you‛ll vote whether to keep HST or go back to PST plus GST.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ingratiating manner wins you the respect of even those who are hard to please. Your trick is taking the time to listen to their problems and trying to help them resolve their quandaries. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Avoid wasting your time on insignificant problems or projects. Try to think large, because you’re especially adept at putting together meaningful arrangements. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you might be somewhat adept at taking a chance on reasonable ventures, it doesn’t give you license to bet on matters that are nothing but pie-in-the-sky. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Only hard work on your part will put Lady Luck in the mood to help you successfully close out a matter of material significance. If you coast, she’ll let you bail yourself out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t abdicate your position or let the controls slip through your fingers concerning a matter or enterprise you personally direct. Keep a tight rein on the important things. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Any financial gains you make will be due only to the hard work you and/or your associates contribute to the effort, and not to Dame Fortune. No more, no less. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you have to be a dreamer, be one who only uses practical, logical procedures to isolate your
objectives. You do have the wherewithal to make your hopes realities. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It behooves you to establish meaningful goals, and to pursue them with much vigor and intelligence. It is one of those days where the harder you work, the luckier you’ll get. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be able to discern the difference between playing a loner’s role and sharing in something that has a larger promise of benefits. Each has its value, but you’ll have to do the choosing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) A situation that appears to have dismal prospects could take a big turn for the better, but only after a lot of hard work. Be ready to make a large move. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take all the time you need to make a well-thoughtout decision on a critical matter. By carefully studying all the facts, you’ll act wisely, with choice results.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Pat Paulsen, a comedian and satirist who ran for president six times and died in 1997, said, “Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.” When declarer is in a suit contract, success may depend upon retaining trump control. In this deal, South is in five hearts. West leads the club ace and continues with the club king. After ruffing in the dummy, how should declarer plan the play? North’s four no-trump was Blackwood, a big overbid. Better would have been four clubs, a splinter bid showing fourcard heart support, game
values and a singleton (or void) in clubs. South would have signed off in four hearts, and North could have passed. The original declarer cashed dummy’s heart ace at trick three, then led another trump. But when East played low, South had lost trump control. If he led a third round, East would win with his king and play a club, forcing out declarer’s final heart while East still had one trump left. In case trumps were 4-1, declarer should have led a low heart from the board at trick three. If he wins the trick, he continues with another heart, playing low from the board. If East ducks, declarer leads a
heart to dummy’s ace and runs the diamonds. East may trump in whenever he pleases. Or, if East takes his heart king and plays a club, South ruffs with dummy’s heart ace, plays a diamond to his jack, draws East’s two trumps, and claims.

School board trustees feel parents aren’t being heard JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
The Central Okanagan School District will deal directly with parent advisory councils and school planning councils until the district-wide parent group can attract more parents, trustees have decided. Despite the protests of two Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council members, school trustees say they no longer feel they are getting the input of local parents to their decision-making process. So the board has opted to bypass COPAC until such time as that group can start holding meetings with enough members in attendance to proceed under its own bylaws. “For some time now we’ve been asking what we can do in order to have more input from parents,� said trustee Moyra Baxter, noting COPAC’s failure to provide feedback has held up the process on major decisions at times. “I don’t think we should look at this negatively,� she said, noting the board is still going to parents for feedback. “This is about how we receive that information and take it as reflective of a parent group.� As board members filed into the school board meeting room Wednesday, a new board member from the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, the provincial umbrella organization under which COPAC operates, approached Baxter and told her the trustees had no right to even raise the issue. His attendance had not been scheduled into the meeting, however, and he had to leave before he could formally address the rest of the board. Board chairman Rolli Cacchioni said he had received a call from BCCPAC president Ann Whiteacker prior to the meeting who made the same suggestion. But those protests were largely dismissed
as trustees pointed out they were not challenging COPAC’s right to exist so much as finding an interim measure to
deal with its absence. Current COPAC president Sharlene Drohomereski told the board she believes the
trustees simply need to bear with the organization as it tries to restructure and adapt to changing times.
“It might even be after the restructuring we might not have (quorum) at the COPAC meetings,� she said, ask-
ing whether feedback in the form of email wouldn’t be just as good for the board. In order to have a
quorum, just over 50 per cent of the schools must have a parent representative present at a COPAC meeting.

Businessman plans pot-growing seminars in area BY KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Growing marijuana doesn’t quite evoke a noble-farmer image, even when it’s for the sake of treating terminally ill patients. As medical marijuana becomes less taboo, however, supports for those who cultivate the product need to fall into place and that should further legitimize and raise the profile of the process, says one Kelowna businessman who’s come up with an idea or two on how to speed up the process. “I went to school in Colorado for medical marijuana cultivation, medicine making and business administration,” said Donald Schultz, the founder of Greenline Academy. “And now I’m bringing what I learned to Canada.” Schultz has ambitions to open the first Canadian school for medical marijuana growers this fall, but before that happens he’s lined up some seminars that could help educate participants in safe ways to grow the plant, the legal issues involved and the various ways to become compliant to federal laws. “Things like, if you’re licensed to grow 25 then you shouldn’t be growing 200 plants,” he said, noting that there’s obviously more to compliance than that, but it’s a good place to start. A lawyer from Doak Shirreff will be speaking to participants at the upcoming seminar on the legal issues that they face by being in the industry. “We also go through proper electrical compliance, fire safety measures and how to get into it, in general,” he said, adding he’s looking for a doctor who can speak to the use of cannabis as a medical treatment. While Schultz makes growing marijuana sound as controversy free as planting rutabagas, he acknowledges that it’s an issue mired in debate. “When I say what I’m doing, people raise an eyebrow,” he said.
“When I talk about its health benefits, they’re anxious to learn more. “But everybody knows somebody who has cancer, and if you think of it that way, it’s totally different.” While the Greenline Academy business model may help clear up the standards of the industry that’s still caught in the mushy space between illegality and legality, it
“When I say what I’m doing, people raise an eyebrow.” — Donald Schultz still may take some time for the popular opinion to turn in its favour. “This is a great new industry with a wide range of opportunities needing educated pro-
fessionals with the right attitude to help us get there,” he said. Then, he said, controversies that have come commonplace across Canada may be laid to
rest. Recently, Kelowna city council took a look at the issue of medical marijuana grow ops. At the prompting of mayors of the City of Langley and the Township of Langley, they were asked to lobby Health Canada to cancel current licenses for medical marijuana growers and, in turn, have the product dis-
pensed through licensed pharmacies by doctor’s prescriptions. “As this is the practice for other controlled substances, such as methadone, we do not see why this cannot be done for medical marijuana,” read a letter circulated to B.C. municipalities. The letter also explained the grow ops were threatening the health and safety of their
communities by both attracting crime and also leaving physical devastation of properties where pot is grown. Kelowna councillors declined the invitation to lobby for the disbanding of medical marijuana licences.

Q: A:
Co-Owner
Q: A:
I have heard of SLIT (Sublingual immunotherapy) as a treatment for allergies. How does that differ from allergy shots or antihistamines?
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) consists of small amounts of the offending allergen that is administered daily under the tongue. Research has shown that this is a naturally efficient way to absorb the allergen and build up a tolerance to the allergy causing substance. If you are not sure which allergens you are reacting to we can perform an in-office scratch test to determine what you are reacting to. Currently, we can test and desensitize to grasses, weeds, ragweed, trees, dust mites, cats, dogs and mold. The advantage of this therapy over allergy shots is that this system requires fewer clinic visits and less time away from work. The first drop is taken in office and after that the patient can commence treatment at home. SLIT also has advantages over antihistamines which work by relieving symptoms of the allergic reaction but don’t get to the root of the problem. With this therapy your reactions to the allergen will decrease over time and in many cases may eliminate the allergic reaction all together. Imagine a spring and summer with no suffering through itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing and continuous dosing of antihistamines.

My business is ‘seasonal’, where it’s quiet for part of the year but so busy I can’t keep up with the paperwork during the busy time. Is there someone who can help... only when I need it? Perhaps this is the time you need to think of using a service such as a Virtual Assistant, or a tempassistant who can perform specific tasks on a sub-contracted basis. In this way, you don’t need to hire & train an employee, especially when your time is more valuable performing other duties. Even though the hourly charges for this type of service may be more than you would pay for an hourly worker, your bottom line costs are much less as you don’t have to have them on staff for a minimum number of hours in a day, nor do you have to do a weekly or bi-weekly payroll. They perform the work on an ‘as-needed’ basis and only charge for the actual time worked, plus there are no additional payroll expenses such as EI and CPP.

Q: A:
Why does my kitchen sink always clog?
The most common cause of a kitchen sink clog is grease accumulating. Grease occurs with regular use of washing plates, pots and pans. The warm grease contacts the cold pipe, solidifies and coats the inside of the pipe with a thin film. Over time kitchen waste will collect on the film causing a blockage. The best way to get your drain running clear is to have the drain cleaned with professional drain cleaning equipment.
Q: A:
Should I paint my front door red?
Yes…. No….. Maybe…… totally confused? Well let me explain... In the world of feng shui red is fire, and when fire is well placed it’s a good thing. In a fireplace it provides heat for the home in a safe reliable manner. Place that same fire on the rug outside the fireplace and you’ve got a problem. Fire (red) will enhance whatever it is ‘with’: good or bad. The trick is to know what’s there and whether you should actually bring that red in. So before you grab that paintbrush, let me check to see what’s already at your front door...

Q: A:
2009 Busines/Professional s of th Award! e Year I have a home that is about 30 years old. The gas furnace is original to the home; I was thinking about getting a new one but my friend said if it’s not broken, why fix it. What do you think?
The average expected lifespan for a gas furnace is around 2025 years. After that the failure rate goes up. If the furnace fails, it could introduce carbon monoxide into your home. This can be lethal, and it is hard for a layperson to determine exactly when this is going to happen. Also as your furnace ages it does not work as efficiently as it did when it was younger. Older furnaces typically function around 50% efficiency, this means that half of your heating dollar is going up the chimney. Installing a new high efficiency furnace can save significantly in your heating bill plus ensure that you will be safe from furnace failure. Installation of a new furnace is not as expensive as some think, and there are government grants available to help offset the cost. For more information on grants ask your heating contractor or me.

Q: A:
What can I do to improve my skin? In addition to the many skin care treatments available today – chemical peels, microdermabrasion, IPL and lasers – add another intriguing option: dermal rolling. An alternative to laser treatments, this option is simple, safe, effective,
natural and affordable. Dermal rolling contributes to skin health by using essential topical nutrients to improve acne, rosacea, pigment and wrinkles. By creating tiny openings in the top layer of the skin, up to 80 % more nutrients can penetrate to the layers where they are most needed. This at-home option, is convenient and very effective. For those who would like faster results, the next step up is Medical Rolling. This does not rely on increased nourishment alone to get results, but also on the natural healing process that occurs from micro-injuries to the skin. This in-office treatment is a natural way of promoting new collagen and elastin and may be the preferred treatment for those not good candidates for laser or those wanting to stay with the most natural treatments available. It can make a tremendous improvement in overall skin health when combined with the correct skin care products. It is truly an exciting and effective alternative.

Q: A:
Shouldn’t school be enough for my child, without tutoring besides?
Most students don’t need extra help. However, it is true that few teachers can help every child learn in the way he learns best, especially with more financial cutbacks and larger class sizes. Some students just need more specific help, some one-on-one attention, and/or a different method of teaching. Although there are learning assistant teachers in the schools, some children don’t meet the criteria for extra help with those teachers, or the help is spread so thin that it is not enough. At Potentials, it is our challenge to find out how every child learns so that we can teach him/her in that way, while developing other ways of learning as well. All our tutoring is one-on-one, so that we can focus specifically on that child’s unique needs. Soon learning is less of a struggle, and confidence builds with success.

Shamrocks record weekend wins over Venom, Flames Morning Star Staff
Nolan Frame exploded for a second-period hat trick as the Vernon Tigers iced the Kamloops Rattlers 10-3 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. The Tigers, backstopped by a 37-save performance by Josh Point, raced out to an early lead on a pair of goals by Riley Soleway. “We were pleased with the win as the Rattlers were hungry to get their first win of the season and one of our goals heading in was to ensure their first win wasn’t against us,� said Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton. “Defensively, the boys threw up a wall the entire game only allowing two goals in the second and one goal in the third.� Brumpton said it was a very physical match, with players ejected from both sides and 88 minutes in penalties in total. Special teams factored in Vernon’s success as they operated at 85 per cent on the penalty kill and went 50 per cent on the powerplay. The Tigers, now 3-0, used two more goals from Frame and singles from Matt Kolb, Brendan Plante and Craig Bigsby to close out the game. The 1-4 Rattlers, who rebounded with a 10-5 win over the Kelowna Raiders Sunday, got offence from Brady Jorgensen (2) and Russ McIntosh. The Tigers host the Kamloops Venom tonight (7:30 p.m.) at Wesbild Centre. In other TOJLL action, the Armstrong Shamrocks earned a pair of weekend wins to improve to 2-2-1. The baby Rocks started by upending the defending champion Venom 7-4 Saturday at Memorial Arena. Armstrong jumped out to a 3-2 lead on goals by Owen Barker, Brett Hawrys and Cullen Rowan, who scored a nice crease goal on the powerplay. The two teams traded goals in the second, with Barker notching his second of four goals on the night. Quinn Braybrook shut the door on the Venom in the third period to seal the win. Shamrocks’ assistant coach Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell was pleased with Armstrong’s commitment team defence. “It was nice to play a solid defensive game against one of the top offensive teams in the league,� said Mitchell. “We shut down their shooters with a lot of on-the-ball pressure and when they tried to come inside we made them pay.� The Rocks gave up an early goal against the host South Okanagan Flames Monday night, but rallied with four unanswered goals on the way to a 7-5 win in Penticton. Goals by captain Milan Marcetta, with a rope-ripping shot low, Hawrys, on a partial breakaway, Rowan, using an inside power move, and Barker, with a behind-the-back fake, gave the Rocks a 4-1 lead after the first period. The Shamrocks took some untimely penalties in the second period, but managed to kill off a 5-on-3 before Joel Castle cashed in a juicy rebound. However, the Flames ral-

Marcetta potted his second of the night with five minutes to play, then set up Willy Hanley for an insurance marker late in the game. Head coach Pat Nelson was pleased with the way his team played for two periods. “We totally outchanced them and used our hustle and stick skills to get loose balls. We have to give credit to their goalie because we should have scored eight or 10 more goals tonight.� Added Marcetta: “We are a good team with good skills and we played really hard in the third, they play really physical, but we used our speed and sticks to beat them tonight.� Rocks’ netminder Cole MacFarlane earned his first junior win, turning aside more than 40 shots and making some clutch saves late in the game.
The Rocks host the league-leading Kelowna Raiders Thursday night (7:30) at Nor-Val Sports Centre.
Doughty leads Legends to draw The North Okanagan Baron Insurance Legends settled for a 6-6 draw with Kelowna Kodiaks in minor lacrosse action Saturday. After winning the opening faceoff, it took Kayden Doughty just eight seconds to put the Legends on the board. He scored two more times for the hat rick, while Liam Cyr, Jacob Brewer-Sherriff and Tanner Wright added singles in support of Randall Toop, who was outstanding in goal. On Sunday, the Legends fell 15-3 to the Penticton Heat at the Nor-Val Centre in Armstrong. The hard-hitting Legends got two goals from Quin Williamson and a single from Jacob Brewer-Sherriff.

Canadians rebound Morning Star Staff
The Cold Stone Creamery Canadians split a Pee Wee AA minor baseball doubleheader Saturday at NorBrock Stadium in Kamloops. The C’s lost 8-2 to the Kamloops Falcons in the opening game and bounced back to beat Kamloops Dragons 16-4 in league action. Kyle Ciurka pitched four strong innings in the opener, striking out three. The Canadians jumped out to a 1-0 lead after one inning and 2-0 after an inning and a half but Kamloops answered with three in the bottom of the second. Kamloops blew the game open in the fourth inning, scoring five runs with some key hits and a couple of Vernon errors. Landon Currie and Eliott Landy were the lone run producers for Cold Stone. In Game 2, Vernon scored early and often, pushing across five runs in the first and fifth innings. The locals were led offensively by Michael Lenoury with three runs and Tyler Droder reaching base safely four times. Landy was the star defensively, throwing three solid innings and striking out six batters. Droder got the save hurling two innings and only giving up two runs. The Canadians take a 2-3-1 mark into league action tonight at Creekside Park versus Kelowna. In Bantam league play Sunday, the Vernon Johnston-Meier Meteors swept a pair of mercy-rule victories in West Kelowna, crushing the Westside Cobras 10-0 and rocking Westside #1 12-1. Lucas Colgan went 2-for-2 with two RBI as the Meteors stuffed the Cobras. Tyler Wiebe was 2-for-3 with an RBI and Mitchell Lukacs smcked a two-run inside-the-park dinger and struck out a few batters during pitching duty. Against Westside #1, Brayden Damini drove in three runs, while Kyle Dennis added two ribbies. Jacob O’Quinn and Shelby Hartwig both batted a thousand with Hartwig also dominating on the mound, mowing down eight of nine batters. Jon McIntyre also took the mound, fanning
four of nine batters. In other Bantam action, Jesse Helmle crunched a grand slam as the Anchor Inn Panthers gained a 15-15 tie with the Union Securities Reds. Daymond Jassal added a solo home run in the fifth for the Panthers, while Keefer Kaempf, Chase McRae and Sage Shaw reached bases in the second and fourth. Morgan Johnson and Steel Sigurdson each swiped four bases, while first-time pitcher Tiege Doughty had a great outing on the mound. Alex Laurila held runners at bay behind the plate. Meanwhile, the second annual Vernon & District Baseball Association Picture Day event Saturday at Lakeview Park was a huge success. “We were fortunate to have great weather for all six of our games and team pictures throughout the day,” said association president Mark Batchelor. “In addition, through our bottle drive and concession efforts, we were able to raise $2,400.”

Kristina Senger went four innings for the win with Lauren Silcocks mopping up the final two innings for Scott Flood’s crew. Ashley Flood went 2-for-3, while Rebecca Warnes walked three times and scored three times. Catherine Bariesheff was 1-for-2 with two runs as the Tanks improved to 2-1-1. In Bantam Girls play, the Vernon Heat, sponsored by Royal Canadian Legion #25, bowed 16-7 to Sicamous. Shelby Munk went three innings on the hill and Dallyce Edwards pitched the fourth. Megan Vadnais made two stellar catches on fly balls. Samantha Cook and Brianna Leon both had hard run-scoring hits to centre field. Runs were scored by Mazie Wilson (2), Vadnais, Edwards, Munk, Leon and Daina Bader.

Celtic attackers raid Rented Mules Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Liquor Store Celtics grounded the Kelowna Rented Mules 4-2 in Okanagan Men’s 35+ Soccer League play Monday night at Marshall Field #2. Volker Otto stole the ball and converted a breakaway with a nice, low shot for the Celtics’ opening goal. Brad Swartz made it 2-0 on a beautiful hard shot from 12 yards. In the second half, Mike Collins thought he was Pele with a great chance on a bicycle kick that was blocked by the 6-foot-6 giant keeper. Bryan Schenker got the third goal on a great feed from Kriss Yargeau. The Rented Mules responded on a free kick and a beautiful header into the corner before Schenker rounded out the Celtic offence with another great goal. The Rented Mules ended the scoring from the penalty spot at the final whistle. Rene Mailloux was outstanding in net for the Celtics. Vernon Toyota scored three unanswered goals to complete a 3-2 comeback over host Salmon Arm. Salmon Arm went up 2-0 early after Toyota gave up several odd-man rushes in the first 20 minutes. John Orton headed home the first Toyota goal after Mark Budgen spotted him at the back post on a free kick. Early in the second half, Toyota was awarded a penalty shot after Ley Christensen was taken down hard inside the Salmon Arm 18. Christensen was forced to leave the game with a shoulder injury. Orton stepped in and drilled his second of the game past a sprawling Salmon Arm keeper. Jay Cawkell scored the winner with 10 minutes left after a gorgeos Brian Williamson through ball. Iain Butler and Pat Varley were defensive stalwarts in the final 10 minutes as Salmon Arm pushed for the equalizer.

Spirit 3-0. Yogi Kongsdorf returned from an ankle sprain and played admirably in net despite a slight limp. Rob Ross was chosen the Dairy Queen Man of the Match as he went back to his former centre defence position and controlled the line skillfully. Henry Czerwonka also played a great stopper position and added a lot of strength to the back line. Brad Conlin played his consistent strong centre midfield, creating some great through balls. Mark Wasylyk, breaking in hard, Jaun O’Quinn, who finished beautifully off a pass in the top corner, and Jenne Hubert on a nifty last-second move on the keeper, handled the 2-4 Big O offence. The Silver Stars stretched their undefeated streak to six games by grounding the Okanagan Spring Brewery 3-1 at Marshall Field #3. Don Eyers, playing up front, scored his first goal ever for the Stars with a shot/cross/lob into the wind that went up and came down just under the crossbar. Some 20 minutes later, Kevin Cowley got his first of two on the game after some good passing saw him squeeze the ball over the line in a crowded area. Spring (3-3) answered before the end of the half after a superb through ball directed Chris Neilson in alone on goal. The Brewers enjoyed more of the ball in the second half but the 5-0-1 Stars kept their shape and looked dangerous on the break and were rewarded with a 20 yard Cowley cracker that gave Spring keeper Mike Zuber no chance. Cowley scored again before getting a red card for his second yellow with 10 minutes remaining. Al Murphy scored twice, including one on a spectacular diving header after a Dan Zieske free kick, as the Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels shut down Lake Country 3-0 at Marshall #1.
Murphy opened the scoring by deflecting a Mike Daly shot. Zieske, who took the Red Robin Restaurant Man of the Match, picked off an errant pass and beat three defenders on a fabulous solo effort, for the 5-1 Camels’ final goal. Dave Dutcher earned the shutout.

Bedard turns clutch trick for United Morning Star Staff
Vernon United brushed off Shuswap 4-1 in Thompson Okanagan Under 13 Rep Boys Soccer League action Sunday morning in Salmon Arm. The United offensive pressure started from the outset and at 15 minutes, Nick Klymchyk’s throw in to Cole Benjaminsen set up a sweet pass to Bryn Bedard, and he converted. Vernon had many chances and corners until near the end of the first half when Benjaminsen passed to Klymchyk, who connected with Bedard to make it 2-0. The defence had a stellar game with Daniel Aspenlieder, Aidan Weber-Concannon and Logan Imrich having strong games, ensuring that keeper Austin White only fielded five shots in the first half. Later in the second half, an attack from striker Billy Cawthorne started a series of events for United. The Shuswap keeper went to clear the ball, but it ricocheted off the back of Cawthorne, to Mac Gourdine, and finally to Bedard who got his hat trick. Within two minutes, Bedard came up the left flank and passed to Dane Carriere who made it 4-0. United went into a frenzy with Gage Kopp, Benjaminsen and Troy Atkinson almost scoring as well. White lost his shutout bid when a Shuswap striker kicked the ball over his head with five minutes remaining. “The boys dominated today, and used the majority of the field to keep control,” said United coach Joe Gourdine. “They were more confident in their attacks, and were communicating more than they ever had before.” United is in the KYSA Slurpee Cup this weekend in Kamloops.
U14 United second in Idaho tourney The Vernon United U14 Boys bowed 4-2 to the Missoula Selects FC A team Sunday in the semifinals of the 20th annual Bill Eisenwinter Hot Shot Tournament in Couer d’Alene, Idaho. Zac Kronbauer, from Matthew Kreutz, and Jorden Dewing, scored for United against the eventual champions from Montana. “The semifinal was close but unfortunately, needing a goal to tie, we pushed forward and Missoula capitilzed on a three-man back line and got two late goals,” said coach Mike Melbourne. “For the boys’ first loss of the season to come to a States team at this tournament shows how well this group of boys plays as a team, with every player contributing to the team’s overall success. I am very proud to coach this group of players.” The Vernon boys opened the 152-team tournament with a 14-0 drubbing of the Missoula Selects FC B team. Michael Williamson and Kreutz led the way with three goals each. Liam Ross and Lucas Ross both had two goals with singles going to Dewing, Kronbauer, Cameron Hitch and Bryce Dyck. Cole Shoemaker earned the shutout. In Game 2, United defeated the Flathead Force FC of Kalispell 4-2. Kronbauer, from Kreutz and Cole Woodliffe, opened the scoring in the second minute. Williamson scored on a great solo effort just 10 minutes later and Hitch clicked shortly before half time. The Force responded just a few seconds before the break. Despite being severely outplayed, the Montana boys added a second goal 12 minutes in the second half to keep the game close. Liam Ross, from Kronbauer and Dyck, rounded out the scoring. United ended preliminary play by mauling Moscow United FC of Idaho 5-2 in a fast-paced contest which saw Vernon take an early lead on a
goal by Williamson. Just a short time later, Williamson was taken down in the box and Lucas Ross scored from the penalty spot. Lucas Ross, from Woodliffe, scored at 20 minutes to make it a three goal lead, but Moscow put one past Shoemaker a few minutes before half time. Kody Glinsbockel and Kronbauer scored in the second half.
Mountain Lions gain U12 split The U12 Development Silver Star Mountain Lions #2 played two games which read like a Charles Dickens novel - the best of times and the worst of times. The Lions beat the host Shuswap 5-2 in their opener which featured unfortunate own goals for both sides. Beyond that, the difference in the first half was two goals from Malcolm Wiens and a single from Mees Geelkerken. The second half was more evenly played as the teams split goals, Geelkerken replying for Vernon. Morgan Nichols was the Man of the Match playing solidly in defence, allowing very little in the way of a Shuswap penetration and transitioning the ball well to the Vernon attack. After a break for lunch, the Lions took to the field against the well-organized Kamloops Orange and bowed 4-2 after spotting them an early goal. Wiens equalized soon after, but the bigger Orange looked hungrier and converted on their chances, scoring three more before the half. United showed great resilience in the second half with Geelkerken scoring an absolute stunner early in the half. “We just didn’t get the bounces in this game,” said coach Will Wiens, reflecting on near misses and crossbars. Aaron Botterill, who played in net for the injured Shane Pelkey, turned in two solid performances. Christopher Richardson’s determined play in the midfield was also noted. Silver Star Mountain Lions #1 also went 1-1 Sunday in Salmon Arm, surprising previously undefeated Kamloops White 5-1 in their opener. Kamloops took an early 1-0 lead, but after that the Lions went into attack mode and equalized in the 16th minute when Kenzel Aarts Roman set up Matt Kowalski after Roman corralled a Charis Ondrik goal kick. Kowalski took the through ball and beat the White keeper to the left. Minutes later, Jared Quibell rifled in a shot from 10 yards out after taking a feed from Kowalski making it 2-1 at half. Quibell then tallied his second of the match after the Kamloops defence misjudged an Ondrik goal kick. Quibell ran onto the ball and beat the keeper to the right. Kowalski then made it 4-1 after Wyatt Carter dribbled past the Kamloops defenders and found Kowalski just inside the six-yard box. Silver Star defender Sam Eggert rounded out the scoring after he intercepted the ball at midfield and then deftly rocketed a 30-yard frozen rope just under the crossbar. Silver Star #1 coach Rob Eggert praised Peter Hirschkorn for his strong defence on the ground and in the air, while Reed Cashato, Langdon Kersey and Wilson Stewart were noted for their tireless work in midfield. In their second match of the day, the Lions #1 dropped a 4-2 decision to Kamloops Blue. Quibell replied for the Vernon side in the 18th minute of play after burying a Carter corner to make it 2-1 Kamloops at the break. Quibell scored his second of the match after Eggert provided a great through ball from midfield.

In U11 Boys Development action Sunday, both Vernon United teams split their games at Marshall Field. Roy Cooper’s United #1 bounced Kamloops Blue 2-0 after falling 3-0 to Penticton #1. Owen Miller scored the winner against Kamloops by heading in a sweet corner by Braeden Cooper. Steven Benischek added insurance when he converted a great cross from CJ Storey. Coach Cooper, who just celebrated his 45th birthday, praised Storey and Alex Ogunbiyi for playing with a raised level of intensity. Benischek earned Player of the Match versus Penticton as United ran into a hot keeper. Vernon United #2, coached by Kevin Mitchell, posted a 3-1 win over Kelowna United #2 after falling 4-3 to Kelowna #3 on a late 25-yard blast which hit top shelf behind keeper Nick Mitchell. Perez Vermeulen opened Vernon’s scoring in their victory, off a feed by Ben Purvis. Player of the Match Finn Plummer, from Cody Webb, and Leon Schenker, on a fabulous 30-yard run through two defenders, netted the other goals. Dylan Huber and Braydie Allan were solid in goal.

Against Kelowna #3, Vermeulen took Game MVP with a pair of goals, one on a pass by Joe Eggert, and another on a superb direct kick from a tough angle which found the top corner. Plummer beautifully one-timed a hard corner by Purvis for Vernon’s 3-3 equalizer. In U12 Girls action, Vernon #1 tied Kelowna 1-1 and brushed back Kamloops 3-1 Sunday at Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Park. Saige Woodliffe scored in the draw, while Abbey Hughes (2) and Cayleigh Graham handled the offence versus Kamloops. Vernon #2 fell 6-0 to Kelowna #3 3-0 to Kamloops Orange. Vernon United U18 girls continued to struggle with a lack of bodies and scoring goals as they dropped a 2-0 decision to
host Salmon Arm on Sunday. Salmon Arm opened the scoring with 15 minutes remaining in the first half after a cross was knocked in. After allowing a goal early in the second half, and despite only having one sub for the second half, Vernon began to carry the play. The last 15 minutes saw scoring opportunities by Jenna Bowman, Kirman Nijjar and Ashley Krause being thwarted by the Shuswap keeper. Cassandra Otto, with her speed and constant runs up and down the wing, was Vernon’s Player of the Match. The Vernon United U16 girls gained a scoreless tie Sunday in Salmon Arm. Emma Tassie and Danielle Jackson had some great runs in the first half and Dory Geelkerken and Isabelle Weber Concannon both took hard shots,
but couldn’t finish. Brianna Thalheimer got great showings from Alex Carter and Kali Wells. The United girls are in the Kamloops tourney this weekend. In U13 House girls play, the Royal LePage Navy Blue Manrays lost to the Yellow team 1-0. Both teams played hard through a scoreless opening half. The Manrays’ keepers Jenna Mulholland and Milana Ivanoff had lots of action with Sierra Brenner-Gordon, Jamieson Mason and Vicky Grahn being strong on the defence. Midway through the second half, the Yellows converted on a hard shot. The Manrays had lots of scoring chances, but couldn’t finish. Paige Hason and Kiona Ramsey played well against the strong Yellow defence, while Maddie Powls and Sarah Wiebe were key players in the midfield.
B.C. On his team alone, there were players from Smithers, Vancouver Island and the Kootenays. “It’s neat because we share all the same goals,” he said, adding that this makes standing out on the ice all the more difficult. “It’s tough,” added the OHA forward. “You just have to go out there and play your game because everyone is here for the same reason.” Lazar, property of the WHL Edmonton Oil Kings, will wait two weeks before he knows whether he’s made the cut of 46 invited to the Regional Cup, where players from B.C. and Alberta will meet in Calgary, July 24-27. Goalie Jesse Jenks turned in a stellar game to give Team Canucks a 3-0 win over Team Sabres in the thirdplace game. Riley Hunt scored a pair of goals for the Canucks and Craig Martin had one. The Okanagan 97s, coached by Peter Doyle and Keith Chase, went 3-2 in the Pursuit of Excellence Spring Cup Challenge last weekend. The 97s smothered the Calgary Cowboys 7-0 in crossover playoff action and then clipped the Alberta Jets 3-2 in overtime for fifth place. Brady Reagan of the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton scored the winner. The Okanagan crew finished third in their pool after defeating the Jets 5-2, losing 5-2 to the NAA Rebels and falling 9-3 to the eventual champion Vancouver Giants. Forwards Jeff Bochon, Carsen Richards, Blaine Caton and Hayden Chase, all of Vernon, played for the 97s.

Team Stars won the 2011 Male Under 17 Hockey B.C. Cup with a 6-2 win over Team Flyers Sunday at the Sunwave Centre in Salmon Arm. Vernon’s Curtis Lazar scored twice for the Flyers, while Demico Hannoun, Jared Marchi, Paulsen Lautard and Jordan Klimek supplied singles. The Flyers got goals from Dryden Hunt and Vernon’s Mike Roberts. Vernon’s Colton Thibualt was also on the Flyers’ roster. The B.C. Cup is the second of four stages in securing a spot on Team Pacific – players from B.C. and Alberta – who will play at the World U17 Challenge against Canadian teams West, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic as well as national teams from the U.S., Slovakia, Russia, Czech Republic and Finland. There were 120 hockey players camped out at the Sunwave Centre where players lived and breathed hockey. No distractions – even cellphones were off limits. “It feels good,” said Lazar, of making it to this stage. “Every step gets you closer to wearing that Pacific jersey. Just looking at it gives me goosebumps because I want to represent B.C.” Lazar says it was essential for his team to bond as most players are strangers. “It’s definitely tough, but it’s the way to success. Relationships between player to player are key,” he says, noting the Stars were together 24-7 during the event. For Lazar, this stage is exciting because it joins players from across

CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Child care is one of any community’s most important needs and affects everyone whether they think of it or not. “Wherever you go, you are probably dealing with some people who have children in child care,” said Mandy Humphrey, administrative assistant, North Okanagan Child Care Society (NOCCS). The society was founded by parents in 1994 and remains a parent-driven, non-profit organization with professional early childhood educators providing a variety of programs for children ages infant to 12. “Child Care Month is a time to recognize the importance of child care facilities of all kinds and the services they provide the community. We are dealing with our community’s most precious resource, our children,” said Humphrey. “There is never, ever, a replacement for mom but we provide the next best thing to being with mom.” She noted that stay-at-home parents recognize the importance of pre-school education for social skills and picking up on any developmental issues so that children can be prepared for school. “We have wonderful, trained early childhood educators here and they work with the support services in the community,” said Humphrey, a former international corporate administrator, who became interested in early childhood education when she took her daughter to day care. “I was so impressed with what they were teaching her that I had to get involved,” she said. NOCCS is the second-largest day care facility in Canada with 180 children attending daily and serving more than 220 families, with a long waiting list. There are more than 30 staff members. “Parents may not be aware of all the different programs but we help them choose the ones that are best for their children and expand their awareness of childhood learning,” said Humphrey. NOCCS funding comes from govern-

“We are dealing with our community’s most precious resource, our children.” — Mandy Humphrey “It’s a very stressful job and you have to have so much passion and dedication.

Lilacs blooming
I
am told by a very reliable source that lilacs are about 10 days later than they are normally in bloom. When lilacs send out new growth from the base and tend to spread, there is not much you can do to prevent the spreading. If you are looking for new plants, make sure you are buying a lilac that is grafted Fred Lyall on a plum root. When you plant it, be sure the graft is well above the surface. One fellow suggests the graft should be three inches above the ground level. Communities in Bloom recently addressed our garden club group.
IN THE GARDEN
This is an organization we should be very happy to support. If you are in the tourist industry their effort to add eye appeal to most areas of our city is a plus. I recently passed on some comments on why we should not plant A-type clematis in the Interior of B.C. One fellow was really upset because his inventory was mostly A-type and very few C-type. He assures me he will advise his head office to be sure he has more C-type. The rodeo season is about to start. The only complaint I have is that calf-roping is as close to cruelty to animals as you can get. If you are planning to plant any raspberry plants, I am told by a local grower that a variety called Tulameen produces real good crops of high quality fruit.

NOCCS brings back the popular Summer Solstice Soirée, an elegant evening which includes a chance to dress up (black tie and flipflops suggested), enjoy tapas, live music, a silent auction with great prizes (family tickets to Disney World and much more) and dancing. “Everybody told us they had a great time last year and they’ve been the first to buy tickets for this year. It’s fun and it’s for a worthy cause,” said Humphrey. The Summer Solstice Soirée takes place June 3 at Paddlewheel Hall on Okanagan Lake starting at 7 p.m. with dancing at 10 p.m. tickets are $50 each with a $25 charitable donation receipt provided for each ticket purchased. Tickets must be purchased by May 25 at www.noccs.ca or by calling 250-558-9963 (ext.202).
Support for caregivers Morning Star Staff
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. helps caregivers around the province learn more about effective communication through a tele-workshop May 23. Communication is vital for caregivers of people with dementia but it can become increasingly difficult. The Alzheimer Society is presenting a teleworkshop, Understanding Communication. The workshop explores how communication is affected by dementia, and offers insight about effective communication strategies and ways of providing care that focus on the needs of the individual. The workshop takes place May 26 at 7 p.m. It is free but pre-registration by May 23 is required. The workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health care providers. They can be accessed via telephone, with an optional web component, recognizing that many caregivers are unable to attend in-person workshops. Participants also have a chance to learn and share with others who are in similar situations. For more information and registration call (tollfree) 1-866-396-2433 or see www.alzheimerbc.org.

Asparagus has arrived
I
’ve been waiting all spring for the arrival of Armstrong asparagus and it has arrived! Locally grown, fresh and delicious, what more could anyone ask of a vegetable? One of my favourite childhood memories is walking the railway tracks in the early spring with my dad, searching for the wild asparagus that grew along the rightaway. They were tall and skinny, delicious to munch on as we walked along. That Cathi Litzenberger experience led me to believe thin spears were the best, but it turns out to be a fallacy (for cultivated asparagus) because according to asparagus advisory boards, the larger the diameter of the spear, the better the quality. It’s a remarkable vegetable, a nutrient-dense food is high in folic acid and is a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C and thiamin. Asparagus has no fat, contains no cholesterol, and is low in sodium. What more could we ask for in a good food? Today’s first recipe is an easy chicken and asparagus sauté flavoured with Indian spices. You can buy these spices in small quantities at the bulk food store. Our second recipe is for a wonderful pizza that was inspired by a wood-fired-oven pizza. Locally grown asparagus is available at the farmers’ market, local fruit stands and a few local grocery stores. Enjoy some this week. Indian-Spiced Chicken & Asparagus 1-1/2 tsp. cumin seeds 1-1/2 tsp. fennel seeds 1 lb. chicken tenders, cut into bite-size pieces 2 tbsp. canola oil, divided 3/4 tsp. salt, divided 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 small fresh chili, seeded and minced 1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger 1-1/2 bunches asparagus (about 1-1/2 lbs) trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup light coconut milk 1/2 cup chopped cilantro Toast cumin and fennel seeds in a small skillet
KITCHEN WIT & WISDOM
over medium heat until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Finely grind in a spice grinder (such as a clean coffee grinder) or with a mortar and pestle. Toss chicken with 1-1/2 tsp. of the spice mixture and 1/4 tsp. salt in a bowl. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining oil, onion, garlic, chili and ginger; cook, stirring, until softened about 2-3 minutes. Add asparagus, sprinkle with remaining spice mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and the remaining salt and simmer for 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and any accumulated juice to the pan and cook until the chicken is just cooked through and the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with cilantro. Serve over brown rice, millet or quinoa. Delicious! Bacon, Egg & Asparagus Pizza 1 lb. prepared pizza dough, preferably wholewheat 2 strips bacon 3/4 cup sliced shallots 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces 4 large eggs 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper 1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese Preheat oven to 500 F. Coat a large-rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to the size of the pan. Transfer to the pan and bake until crisp on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Drain on a paper towel. Add shallots to the pan and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes more. Spread the vegetables over the crust and crumble the bacon on top. Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined; slowly pour over the vegetables, trying not to let any run off the crust. Sprinkle the pizza with cheese. Bake until eggs are set and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with a mixed green salad, and lunch is served.
Silver Star Quilters mark 25 years Morning Star Staff
Vernon Silver Star Quilters celebrate their silver anniversary Thursday with a special tea at St. John’s Lutheran Church, where they meet twice a month. VSSQ began in 1986 as a group called Silver Star Quilting Squares, when a quilting enthusiast put an ad in the local paper asking if anyone was interested in quilting. In 1999 the name of the group was changed to the Vernon Silver Star Quilters. The guild’s main focus is to promote quilting through literature, workshops, seminars, demonstrations and quilt shows. They also provide community services with donations of quilts and cash to many local charities, and by providing displays if requested. Over the past 25 years, VSSQ has donated more than $35,000 to local charities and a few international charities, earned mainly through their raffles
and quilt shows. VSSQ members have also sewn and donated more than 2,500 quilts to organizations and individuals in our area. Making preemie, trauma and community quilts are ongoing projects for the guild, and this year they’ve added Quilts of Valour to the list. Quilts of Valour are made for Canadian soldiers who return from war-torn areas of the world injured in body and/or spirit, and are given as a small token of gratitude for the personal sacrifice they have made for our country. They are distributed through the Armed Forces Base in Edmonton. This year, to celebrate the guild’s 25th Anniversary VSSQ is donating $2,500 to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Tower of Care. Anyone interested in learning more about Vernon Silver Star Quilters can check out the website at VSSQ.org.

Ross (Vinnie) Friesen With great sadness, but also relief and thankfulness, we regret to inform you of the gentle passing of Ross “Vinnie� Friesen, who is in a much better place – free of pain and suffering. There was no one else like Ross and no one can replace the love we have for him in our hearts. Ross lived one day at a time and appreciated the simple things in life. He felt deeply and gave freely. Full of energy, wit and compassion, he made the most of every moment. What gave him the most joy in his life was being there for those around him. His greatest gift was his acceptance and interest in all those he came in contact with. He appreciated everyones unique differences and never judged. Being with him was a restful safe place. His happiest times were spent listening to music, riding his motorcycle, working in the yard, and helping his friends. He loved to read and learn and grow, but most of all he loved his family and his friends. Ross wanted us to express deep gratitude to our amazing family and friends and all those who helped care for him. You supported him and his family in every way possible. It has been incredible and overwhelming. Our lives have been forever changed and we will never be the same again because of the amazing support, care and love we received. All those in Interior Health, our nurses, our doctors, therapists of all kinds, the ALS Society – you all carried us and made it possible to get through times that were seemingly just to hard to bear.
