“We’re hoping for the support of the public,” he said.

“We understand that not all of the public will have access to a computer or feel comfortable signing an online petition. We encourage these people to wear a purple ribbon in support of the campaign and to write a traditional pen-and-paper letter to MLA Eric Foster and Health Minister Michael de Jong demanding completion of the shelled-in floors.”

Concannon isn’t sure how receptive the government will be to this campaign given that it was presented with an 18,000-name petition in 2008.

“It was soundly ignored,” he said of the government’s response.

The soon-to-be leader of the B.C. Conservatives is optimistic about the party’s fortunes.

John Cummins was in Vernon meeting with party faithful at the Pantry Wednesday.

“It’s time to get out and meet folks and find out what’s on their minds,” said Cummins, a former Delta MP who will become B.C. Conservative leader Saturday.

“British Columbians are unhappy with the choices they have. There is plenty of room for the B.C. Conservatives and our strength can only grow.”

There are presently about 2,500 members.

“Two years ago we had less than 200 members and one constituency association.

Now we have 50,” said Wayne McGrath, party president and former Vernon mayor.

McGrath believes interest in the party is largely a result of Cummins coming on board.

“We are very fortunate to have someone of his experience and profile,” said McGrath, adding that many Liberals switched to the Conservatives when Christy Clark became premier.

“They tore up their Liberal cards.”

There doesn’t have to be an election until 2013 but there is speculation British Columbians will go to the polls this year.

Cummins insists election planning is already underway.

“We’ve set up a screening process for candidates. We will be ready to go,” said Cummins, who says the Liberals under Gordon Campbell lost touch with the public.

“They became a one-man show and the MLAs were nothing but trained seals. We are seeking MLAs who will put the interest of their constituents before the party.”

Union pushes for seniors’ care funding RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon politicians are being urged to join a campaign focused on seniors’ care.

The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union wants city hall to ask the provincial government to fund increased levels of care at residential care facilities.

“Funding for these important services has

“We need to push for more funding.”

— Jack Gilroy not kept pace with the demand,” said Brenda Brown, a member of the union’s provincial executive.

“Without increased public funding to

increase staffing for those direct care hours, many facilities are put in a position where they need to contract out care and support staff.”

Brown says there

have been cases of contracting out in Vernon and she says these situations can be harmful and disruptive for seniors.

“Continuity of care is extremely important to seniors living in care facilities, and staff and clients often develop very close relationships built on care and trust,” she said.

“When care facilities contract out their staff,

Community garden site pursued RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Another community garden may take root in Vernon.

The City of Vernon has been asked by W.L. Seaton Secondary School to try and find a location for a garden that residents of the community can access to create a sustainable source of food.

“There is a report that outlines potential sites and we can identify if there is a site near Seaton,” said Brooke Marshall, the city’s environmental planner.

Through the North Okanagan Regional District, there are already community gardens on East Hill, at the former West Vernon school site and on Pleasant Valley Road.

Coun.

Buffy Baumbrough welcomes the prospect of another garden.

“It’s great news and it’s exciting that it has come from a school,” she said.

Baumbrough is convinced there is increased demand from residents to grow their own vegetables, particularly as Greater Vernon becomes more urban.

“It’s exciting that it has come from a school.”

— Baumbrough “People don’t have access to land because they live in an apartment or there are people who want to learn from other gardeners,” she said.

“There’s a social aspect to community gardens.”

The concept for a

garden began at Seaton a year ago.

“The only pitfall I keep running into is where to place the garden,” said Nicolas Fournier, a Seaton student who is leading the process.

“Both the school and the community are

willing and we are just needing a plot of land to see this ambition become a reality.”

Fournier is convinced there are a number of benefits to developing a garden.

“This would be a strong community builder for our Seaton community and our school and I would like the chance to extend this partnership to the city to back us up,” he said.

Trinity United Church also recently opened a community garden at its Alexis Park Drive property.

No flair for numbers

n 1992, Mattel released Teen Talk Barbie, who uttered the infamous words, “Math class is tough.”

Public outrage quickly followed, including criticism from the American Association of University Women in a report on how schools shortchange girls.

“Although many students struggle with math, this message from a popular toy only helped to reinforce negative stereotypes about girls’ math abilities, despite ample evidence of their achievements.”

Each doll was programmed to utter four out Katherine Mortimer of a possible 270 phrases, including “I love shopping,” and “Will we ever have enough clothes?” Following complaints, Mattel altered the computer chip to remove the offending phrase.

I remember when this doll came out. I was past the stage of playing with Barbies, but not too old to remember my own struggles with math class.

Elementary school wasn’t too bad, and I managed to grasp the basic numeracy skills needed to enjoy some level of academic success. I grasped the concept of geometry and learned my times table.

But in Grade 8, it all went horribly wrong.

My brain was just not wired to grasp the concept of adding “a plus b divided by c”, and so on in algebra class.

In my report card, the common theme was “does not think logically.” In any of my arts subjects — English, French, history — I did well and enjoyed the classes. But math and science? Forget it.

And then in Grade 10, it somehow came together, due in large part to a wonderful teacher who was able to translate the material so it made sense.

And so I began Grade 11 with a sense of optimism, which quickly turned into a feeling of doom when I realized I was in over my

head, but needed the class in order to graduate the following year.

So I struggled. And struggled. And struggled. And all I could think was, “I will never in a million years be considering a career that requires me to use algebra.”

And sure enough, I failed the course. So naturally that meant spending three hours a day, five days a week for the entire month of July at summer school. I would like to say that it all became much clearer to me. It did not.

To be sure, I was probably distracted, thinking about the beach time I was missing, the sleeping in, the lovely, lazy days of summer that teens cherish.

Grade 12 began and where was I? Back in Grade 11 algebra, only this time it was about as basic a class as possible. And yes, I passed. I’d like to say I passed with flying colours after all this. The best I could manage was a C. So math is not my thing. And it’s not a girl thing: my dad was lousy at math but has succeeded in his chosen field for 50 years, while plenty of my female classmates were straight-A math students.

A few months ago, I found myself at a wonderful parent education program offered by the Vernon School District called You Can Count on Me. Along with other parents of Grade 1 students at Beairsto, I listened as learning resource teacher Kim Nenzen offered us simple strategies to help our children improve their numeracy skills. We were given some games to take home and plenty of information. But the one thing that has stayed with me is that we should not admit to our kids that we were bad at math.

So to my daughter I vow to not own up to my pathetic math skills or lack thereof, because I want her to have an open mind. It’s early days, but I’m feeling hopeful.

When we decided on French immersion for our daughter, my husband and I were clear: I would be the one to help her with French, he would help with math.

Because in either language, I’m still bad at math. I won’t admit it to my daughter, but I fear she’ll know the truth soon enough.

Virtually everyone in the North Okanagan has a connection to Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

We’ve been born there or had children born there. We’ve gone through surgeries and seen specialists. We have visited family and friends. It’s occasionally been a place where we have said one final goodbye to a loved one. VJH has been there when we need it.

And that’s why it is time for all of us to return the favour and get directly involved in lobbying government for increased funding.

Without additional acute care beds, patients will continue to be placed in hallways and other inadequate settings and surgeries will be cancelled.

The Interior Health Authority insists that more beds aren’t the complete answer and there also needs to be a focus on residential care, and while that is true, the North Okanagan’s population will continue to grow and age and place pressure on the health care system. The 60 beds that can be developed in the top two floors of the tower are required.

But for change to happen, the provincial government needs to know that the status quo is unacceptable.

Write MLAs Eric Foster and George Abbott, Health Minister Mike De Jong and Premier Christy Clark and highlight your personal experiences with overcrowding at VJH. You can also go online to www.petitiononlinecanada.com/petition/vjh-purple-ribbon-campaign-petition/136.

VJH is a common bond for all residents and we depend on it for our health and the health of our loved ones. But without our support, the ability to meet those needs is increasingly challenging.

Singing the HST blues

A

s we come up to a provincial referendum related to the harmonized sales tax in B.C., I would like to share something I found on a Manitoba website.

My question is, if another province considers the HST too costly for its people, and has other ways of finding tax monies without hardship to itself or business, why must B.C. people be choked by the very definite extra charges of the HST here?

Further, I have not seen any of the Atlantic provinces thriving despite living with the HST for years, nor the people there living better lives because of any HST benefits being returned to them.

That old line about savings being passed on

DEAR FELLOW CANINES I sure like to run in the dog parks around Vernon. I get to explore lots of territory with many different scents. I can sniff around all day. I have lots of friends there too.

I love to stand on three points and let my bladder run wild all over the place and of course relieve the other end too.

Of course my owner always has those nice little bags that are supplied by some of the businesses in town that are at the dog parks. My buddy Rover was telling me that while he was walking with his owner along the walkway on Okanagan Avenue, he saw on different occasions, some really strange happenings. He actually witnessed a lady bring her two dogs to Grahame Park, let them run around, do their thing and then leave.

He also saw an owner drive in to the parking lot, let his dog Bowzer out to relieve himself, while he stayed at his vehicle. Now my owner has taken me on my leash over to Grahame Park (where there are signs that say No Dogs) so I could watch some kids chase a ball around just like my buddies and I like to do.

What a shame it must be to step on or even worse get tackled or slide on something that one of my fellow four-legged friends left behind. I know we are all really smart dogs and know a thing or two about such matters. If our owners could train us to pick up after ourselves it would be great but I don’t think it’s a function that we could actually perform.

So, Bowzer, Rufus, Muffy and all my other pals, please encourage your owners to be good citizens, follow you around and pick up the leftovers so little kids and big kids don’t have to come across what you have left behind. The exercise will do them good!

Oh, and while you are at it, remind them that

Mogul GOVERNANCE EFFICIENCIES Navigating the complexities of overlapping jurisdictions for members of a volunteer community association is difficult and leads to wasted time and effort on the part of not only of citizens, but of elected leaders and staff at all levels.

In Greater Vernon, this is the case when dealing with parks and recreation, fire and emergency services, water resources and transportation and may be true of other areas as well.

Having learned of a meeting with Community Development Minister Ida Chong to discuss regional district services such as parks and recreation, the Vernon Foothills Community Association wishes to offer its support for the simplification and rationalization of governance in Greater Vernon.

Unifying management and control of governance would allow a community association such as ours to deal directly with one responsible body rather than several, would make decision-making more efficient and effective, and would make those put in charge directly accountable.

We hope that this letter assists in communicating to Ms. Chong, on our behalf, that current governance arrangements are neither practical nor well-designed.

keeping than two, but why add HST to items that did not have two taxes before?

It has certainly impacted our family budget in a negative fashion and I have spoken to at least two small businesspeople locally who find it adds costs to themselves.

I think our whole tax system needs a serious overhaul because too many are becoming too poor to pay decent taxes.

No jobs, retiring to poverty — the list of reasons goes on.

This is something to think about as the HST debate wastes more money we can ill afford.

One can find this article at this website: http:// news.gov.mb.ca/newsindex.html?item=7326.

J.M. Crawford-Brown However, I found this article extremely offensive. A newspaper is supposed to be a 100 per cent unbiased way of simply stating the facts of news for the public to read.

I found this article extremely opinionated, as if it was trying to convince me to believe that killing goose eggs is the right thing to do.

I will not go into the matter of whether it is the right thing to do or not, but I will say that I think it is the responsibility of The Morning Star to ensure that all articles printed in the paper are completely neutral.

I was angered that this article was trying to convince me which side of this issue to take, and I was angered that The Morning Star allowed such an opinionated piece to be printed.

I ask that the next time a touchy issue such as this is discussed, whether submitted like this one or written by one of The Morning Star's reporters, that great care be taken to remain completely neutral.

I do not agree with the killing of our goose population, but I am not trying to argue my point.

I am only saying that I want to read a newspaper that does not try to persuade me either way.

Marina Durham EXCELLENT CARE Recently, I visited Vernon Jubilee Hospital with two fingers that were bleeding badly from a broken bottle. I was pleasantly received in a prompt manner by the reception area and they expected the doctor would be available in about an hour.

Fortunately, he and his attendant were available in 30 minutes. Both were very congenial, informative and professional. I left the hospital about an hour after my arrival with a warm feeling and very impressed with this excellent, personalized service.

Thanks again and you are to be commended.

Tolko supports Slave Lake staff

A North Okanagan company is rallying behind fire victims in northern Alberta.

Tolko Industries is extending support to residents of Slave Lake, where it has two oriented strand board operations.

“Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the people of Slave Lake and other communities affected by the fires,” said Jim Baskerville, vice-president of strand business.

“We have extended the offer to assist community, regional, and provincial authorities with the current situation.”

Tolko’s Slave Lake operations have been curtailed for extended periods due to market conditions.

The small crew that maintain the plants and woodlands area were evacuated during the wildfire.

Some have already returned to support local firefighting and relief efforts.

Three of Tolko’s employees have lost their homes, and the company will be working with authorities and these employees to help address their individual needs.

“We commend all the volunteers, emergency response personnel, and government leaders who have responded to this great challenge,” said Baskerville.

City restricts water ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The City of Armstrong is moving towards yearround stage one water restrictions.

Public works manager Pat Hickerson made the recommendation to council Tuesday to amend its water restrictions bylaw in light of Armstrong’s water treatment plant being completed.

“Stage 1 water restrictions on a year-round basis will not only promote the mindset of conservation all year, but the consistency will also help prevent confusion amongst citizens of Armstrong as to when they can water,” wrote Hickerson in a report to council.

The new bylaw would actually add an hour of watering time during the year-round Stage 1 restrictions.

With the change, people with even-numbered addresses can water a lawn, garden or landscaped area on even-numbered days between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., and 7 p.m. and midnight.

Same goes for odd-numbered addresses on oddnumbered days.

People with in-ground automated watering systems would not be allowed to run the systems from midnight to 5 a.m.

The purpose of the service is to provide grants to economic development initiatives like the recent crosscountry World Cup at Sovereign Lake.

The function’s annual budget is $10,000 and Vernon contributes $5,200.

“Since the function has been reduced to a granting function at NORD and economic develop-

ment is a substantial and costly department at the City of Vernon, it seems reasonable to put any of the taxpayers money in our Vernon budget,” said Coun. Bob Spiers.

Armstrong has already initiated a process to withdraw from the function.

The North Okanagan Regional District’s five rural electoral areas have entered into a contract with the city.

“They see the benefits the others have,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert referring to all of the region’s municipalities already participating in the service.

“There are economies of scale and it’s a very necessary service.”

Owls swoop Cats for Valley crown Morning Star Staff

The KSS Owls brushed back the VSS Panthers 17-7 in the Okanagan Junior Boys Rugby Union final Wednesday afternoon at Grahame Park.

The Panthers owned the majority of play in the first half but failed to capitalize. Kelowna scored on the last play of the first half for a 5-0 lead.

The Owls scored again in the second half to move ahead 12-0.

Wade Buller responded for VSS with a try and also nailed the conversion to make it 12-7 with four minutes remaining.

KSS, who brought enough players to field two teams, scored again on the last play of the game. The Owls sent fresh bodies in and out and eventually wore down the Cats.

“The coaches could not be more proud of the effort and toughness these boys showed today and all year,” said Panther coach Tim Thorpe, a VSS grad.

“They represented VSS with pride and showed great sportsmanship with their clean, hard play. We couldn’t ask for anything more from this group; they left it all on the field.

“A different bounce here or

there and the score could be reversed. We’re happy with our season, it looks good for VSS rugby for years to come.”

Thorpe gave special thanks to coaches Shaun Landry and Stuart McKnight, first aid attendant Tom Barker, and team mom Michelle Buller.

“VSS and the team really appreciate the dedication and commitment shown by these volunteers to help make this team run successfully.”

Meanwhile,the B.C.Secondary Schools Rugby Championships open Saturday with more than 800 players involved in the AA and AAA event.

The Valley champion Fulton Maroons, coached by Rick Smith, take on the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna at 2:30 p.m. at the Kamloops Rugby Club.

The Valley runner-up Kalamalka Lakers also open the playoffs Saturday in Kamloops, going up against Aldergrove Community at 4 p.m.

Quarterfinal and placing games go Wednesday, June 1 at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford.

The semis are June 2 and the finals and placing games Saturday, June 4.

Vernon Tigers' Matt Kolb shields the ball from Armstrong Shamrocks' Owen Barker in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League action Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre.

Rowan (2+1) and Owen Barker to seal the win.

Hawrys, who finished with three goals, is second overall in league scoring with 18 goals and 10 assists for 28 points in seven games.

“Good first period, we went to sleep a little in the second, and we came out and turned it on in the third,” said Armstrong head coach Pat Nelson.

“Our defence played well, our offence was moving and we transitioned the ball well. One of the things we wanted to work on was moving the ball out of our end to give us more time on offence.”

At the other end, Tigers’ head coach Myles Brumpton credited his team for two periods of solid play, but was far from thrilled with the final frame.

“In the third period we went to sleep and they capitalized on our mistakes,” he said. “If recliners were legal on the bench, I would have brought a few in to make sure our guys were comfortable while they took the night off.”

After starting the season with three straight wins, the 3-2 Tigers have dropped their last two. Veteran Brennan Plante, who scored in the second period (Craig Bigsby and Darrell Landels had the other

Vernon tallies) says it is partially due to a lack of offence.

“We just got into a scoring slump,” said Plante, whose older brother, Tyler, plays with the senior Tigers. “Over the last two or three years we’ve been averaging 10 goals a game, so to score three is unacceptable.”

The Rocks’ Stephen Ringdal and Barker each finished with a goal and three helpers, and Joel Castle supplied three assists in support of Cole McFarlane (36 saves).

Brumpton pulled netminder Josh Point with eight minutes remaining in the third period. He explained the decision was made to rest his starter for Vernon’s Thursday-night tilt against the league-leading Kelowna Raiders (6-1), and to give backup Steve Deshane some floor time.

“There was only so much you can do when the wall comes down in front of you,” said Brumpton, of Point’s play.

The Shamrocks, who have yet to win at Nor-Val Sports Centre, begin a three-game home stand starting Saturday night against the 2-4-1 Kamloops Venom.

“We seem to be doing a little bit better on the road, but I think things are about to change,” said Nelson.

Meanwhile, Harminder Sandhu pulled the hat trick and earned Man of the Match as North Enderby Timber rocked the Salmon Arm Outlaws 7-0 at Marshall #3.

Sandhu, who used patience and creativity to jumpstart a scoring chance almost everytime he touched the ball, opened the scoring in the 20th minute.

He broke down the left wing, deked past the defence, walked across the 18-yard box and curled it around the keeper.

Eric Vivian worked a ball around with Devin Janke and eventually Vivian played a cross from deep on the right wing. The ball dropped right onto Brent Poulsen’s foot for a volley off the post and in for a 2-0 NET lead at the break.

Just five minutes into the second half, an Outlaw wing defender attempted a pass to their centre back but pressure from Vivian caused a cough up. Vivian took

one touch and placed one over the keeper’s left arm.

Brodie Couch surprised his teammates by keeping a shot low and deflected a shot off a defender’s leg onto Sandhu’s foot. Sandhu buried a 15-yarder.

Speedy Brent Poulsen burned a defender deep into the Outlaw end and eventually dished a nifty pass to Couch, who placed a cross to the head of rookie Cam Smith for the effortless header.

Sandhu showed his skills again to complete the hat-trick by skinning multiple defenders, getting tricky with two step-overs, faking a shot and then blasting one to the bottom right corner.

Poulsen finished the scoring on a breakaway, putting in his own rebound. NET is 6-0, the Outlaws 0-5.

Vernon’s Peter Solymosi is known for his triathlon prowess.

He’s now making a name for himself as a goalkeeper, turning in Man of the Match honours as Monashee Surveying shut down Turn-Key Controls 2-0 Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3.

Solymosi was subbing for regular keeper Colin McDonell and joined Turn-Key’s Greg Douma in a superb goaltending duel.

Monashee (2-2-1) opened the scoring when Darren Nobregga’s 15-yard shot deflected off a defender past Douma.

Devon Marriott completed the scoring on a first-half penalty shot, awarded after a Monashee forward was pulled down.

Turn-Key (0-3-1) pressured hard to get back in the game, but couldn’t penetrate the solid Monashee defence or beat Solymosi. Sam Pantaleo had a fabulous showing for Monashee.

Car trouble derailed Concept Physio’s winning streak on Wednesday as they lost 2-1 to the host Revelstoke Stallions.

One car full of players was stranded for a while in Sicamous, which caused Concept Physio to start the game with nine players. Within minutes of getting a full squad on the field, it was 2-0 Revelstoke.

Concept Physio (2-3) fought hard to make a comeback with Brock Reim scoring the lone goal on a feed from Alex McDougall.

Jeremy Phelan was recruited into emergency goal duty and was a standout in the midfield for the second half when he was replaced

Franky Gettis, Elliot and Damini all went 2-for-3 with Damini’s two doubles bringing in 4 RBI. Mitchell Lukacs added to the Meteors hitting streak by banging an inside-the-park home run.

Great defensive plays came from Jacob O’Quinn and Jon McIntyre. The Meteors will playing a doubleheader at Marshall on Saturday, taking on Summerland at 8:30 a.m. and the allgirl Okanagan Halos at 4 p.m.

Sports Outlaws hijack Celtics for lead Morning Star Staff The Little Tex Outlaws took over sole possession of first place by stuffing the North Enderby Timber Celtics 6-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Competitive Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #1.

The Outlaws (4-1) got some help from the AF Blazers, who battled the T.E.D. United of Salmon Arm to a scoreless draw.

United is one point back of Little Tex at 3-0-2.

Monica Neilson scored twice for the Outlaws, including one off a through ball from Jen Kemper, who opened the offence on a breakaway.

Elaina Huisken got the second goal on a long ball outside the 18 that sailed in over the keeper’s head. Emily Corrie also clicked on a breakaway, beating the Celtic defence and missing on her first shot which was deflected by the keeper, and then outrunning the keeper to the ball and burying it.

Tracy Cyr, off a penalty kick, completed the Little Tex offence in front of a superb Lori Phillips.

The Outlaws’ defence was led by Jordan Mercer with Huisken and Kristy Anderson supplying stellar support.

Stephanie Stewart enjoyed many runs down the wing and created several scoring opportunities with some beautiful crosses in front of the net.

Kemper and Anita Rae were rock-solid in the midfield. The Celtics dipped to 1-4.

The Blazers (0-3-2) played shorthanded and pulled off a draw with United at Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Park.

Silver for United U16 Morning Star Staff

The Vernon U16 United girls struck silver in the 33rd annual Kamloops Slurpee Soccer Cup, falling 4-1 to Kelowna United in Sunday’s final.

Kelowna went up 3-0 at the half before Marisa Berg answered for Vernon on a penalty shot. Tessa Coulthard had an amazing weekend and walked away with Vernon’s MVP award for the final game.

NET Celtics’ Jodi Bariesheff (left) and Little Tex Outlaws’ Emily Corrie race to a loose ball in women’s competitive division soccer action Tuesday at Marshall Field.

Jane Higgins, Amber Maltman and Amanda Swales were outstanding on the back line, while Ally Cummings, Jenny Hatten, Carley Major and Chelsea Ricketts held the midfield.

Natalie Forster and Carissa Morneau had a few good scoring opportunities but were denied by the United keeper. Eileen Pellicca was phenomenal and made several key saves for the Blazers.

In Masters play, the first-place Vernon Chick Kickers shut down the Okanagan Impact 3-0 at Marshall #3.

Shauna Stenquist’s goal scoring foot returned from its hiatus as she converted the first goal from a Jen Sorochuck throw-in that was relayed from Michelle Johnson.

Youngster Jenny Garrett converted the second goal on a great cross in from the corner flag, while Johnson tallied the 5-0 Chicks’ final goal in the dying seconds.

The Chicks showed great formation with lots of tough battles in central midfield brought on by Colline Johnson , Wendy

Martens and Tania Sladen. Once again, Dawn Tucker backstopped the Chicks with a shutout, while the back line of Nadine Krywonos, Marilynn Vanderdeen, Wendy Magnus, Monica Howbolski and Bridget Grant was superb.

The Impact (1-41) got great work by Vicki Ryan in the centre midfield and terrific goalkeeping

by Wendy Ellis and Shelinda Morin, who replaced the injured Ellis in the second half.

Chilliwack product Denise Bourdon showed some great flashes of speed up front, while Kris Ponto chipped in all over the field.

The Tillicum Controllers (3-1-1) suffered their first defeat of the season, bowing 2-1 to Shuswap Merlot in a hard-fought battle at Marshall #2.

Starting with 10 players, the Controllers’ Emma Louie had a 30-yard blast go off the bar as both teams traded chances early.

Keeper Leslie Epp made a couple of great saves, but as time ran down in the first half,

Merlot’s Carrie-Lee Lutz capitalized on a defensive miscue inside the six-yard box, leaving Epp with no chance.

Losing Louie and Therese Weber to injury in the first half, and with no subs, the Controllers found themselves down by two as Lutz, with her second, drove a 20 yarder into the bottom corner early in the second half.

Battling fatigue, the Controllers never quit and got one back as Danielle Dunsmore beat two defenders in close and fed Jacquie Nuyens, who shot bottom corner far side with 10 minutes left.

The North Okanagan United and Goplen Drillers played to a scoreless draw at Marshall Field #5. The Drillers are 2-2-1 and United is 1-3-1.

The Drillers, who had no subs, are looking for new players.

Call Shelley Zupp at 250-545-3853.

Seasons in the Okanagan Sistas lost a 1-0 forfeit to Setters Pub since they only had seven players.

Setters improved to 3-0-1, while the expansion Sistas dropped to 0-3-1.

Vernon skaters star for Selects Morning Star Staff

A Vernon trio boosted the Northern 2000 Selects out of Williams Lake to a gold medal in the Mainland AA Challenge Cup last weekend in Vancouver.

Defencemen Powell Connor and Dylan Sedlacek, and power forward Levi (The Big Easy) Danbrook helped the Selects smother the previously undefeated Prince George Icehawks 9-2 in Monday’s final.

Connor and Sedlacek played as a defensive tandem and logged huge minutes as the team went with four d-men. Connor finished the tourney with 3+2, while Sedlacek had four assists. Danbrook played on the top scoring line and created time and space for two of the tournament’s top scorers, and chipped in with 3+1.

The Selects stuffed the North Shore Vipers 5-0 in the semifinals after grounding the unbeaten Seattle Thunderbirds 7-2.

In round-robin play, the Selects upended the Vancouver Icemen 7-2, rolled over the Island Stars 8-1 and beat the North Shore Vipers 3-0

while outshooting them 35-5. Head coach of the Selects was Brad Wilde of Lake Country.

Connor and Vernon’s Coleton Bilodeau are off to Winnipeg and Calgary next month with the Pacific Alliance. They are in a pool with the Vancouver Selects, Mountain Selects, and Minnesota Blades, in the Winnipeg tournament.

Meanwhile, the Okanagan 2002 All-Stars, led by Vernon products Cameron Moger, Caden Danbrook, Ben King, Anne Cherkowski and Tanner Brown, bagged a bronze medal with a 11-2 win over the Vancouver Selects Black.

In Mainland Cup preliminary play, the All-Stars went 2-1 by beating the B.C. Blackhawks 2-1, icing the Vancouver Vipers 5-2 and falling 4-2 to the Island Stars.

In the quarterfinals, the All-Stars ambushed the Kamloops Pirates 7-1 and then took a 3-0 lead before losing 6-3 to the No. 1 seeded B.C. Bears.

“The kids played great and proved to themselves they can play against the top Vancouver teams,” said head coach Sandy Moger, of Vernon.

Tavares rejects request to meet officer face-to-face CHERYL WIERDA Black Press

The Kelowna man kicked in the face by a local RCMP officer left the courthouse Tuesday afternoon still not having had a chance to see the officer in person, but Buddy Tavares said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in meeting with Const. Geoff Mantler anywhere else.

Tavares told reporters that Mantlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer had contacted his former lawyer about Mantler wanting to meet one-on-one with him, but said it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a bad thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear him explain it to court,â&#x20AC;? said Tavares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to explain it to me. I know what happened.â&#x20AC;?

When asked if he thought the officer wanted to apologize, Tavares said Mantler â&#x20AC;&#x153;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be sorry. He just has to be ashamed.â&#x20AC;?

Tavares was arrested by Mantler on Jan. 7 after police received a call about shots fired at the Harvest Golf Club. During the arrest, Mantler was caught on video kicking Tavares in the face while Tavares was on his hands and knees.

Mantler, who grew up in Armstrong, was charged in March with two counts of assault causing bodily harm in connection with that incident and another incident involving Manjeet Bhatti in August.

A weapons charge laid against Tavares after the arrest has since been dropped.

In court on Tuesday, Mantlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer appeared on the 28-yearold officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf and said he had received disclosure of evidence on both criminal files last week.

He asked that the case return to court in one month.

The court also heard that the Crown is currently proceeding by indictment in the Bhatti case and summarily in the Tavares case.

According to the Criminal Code of

Canada, the Crown cannot proceed summarily against a defendant if

the charge is laid more than six months after the offence date, unless

both the prosecutor and defendant agree.

The maximum pen-

alty for assault causing bodily harm in an indictable case is 10

years in prison, whereas it is 18 months in custody for cases dealt with

summarily.

Mantlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cases return to court June 2.

Although there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the numbers of people typically found during summer long weekends, CO supervisor for the North Okanagan, Josh Lockwood, said his staff laid 40 charges and wrote 49 warnings over the weekend.

Thousands were out camping and riding, hiking and fishing in the hills, although some popular areas higher up were still deep in snow this year because of the late spring.

Charges ranged from small vessel violations such as not having life jackets, lack of an operator competency card and lack of boat registration to fishing violations for Black Press

sitive areas.

Some people were also given tickets for camping in a closed area and ordered to vacate, while others were charged for carrying open liquor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were lots of people out,â&#x20AC;? said Lockwood.

Jim Beck, supervisor for the Penticton area for the CO ser-

vice, agreed with Lockwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was busy in the bush,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of campers.â&#x20AC;?

Beck said they issued a violation ticket against someone mud bogging in a little wetland.

Beck said they also patrolled Okanagan

Lake, where tickets were issued for people fishing without licences, using barbed hooks, possession of live fish and fishing with too many lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was poor compliance with the boat safety regulations, so we gave out a lot of warnings. They were for violations for life jacket requirements,

lack of signal devices and other regulations,â&#x20AC;? said Beck.

However, he said fishing was productive, and they watched one fellow bring in a beautiful eight-pound rainbow, which he released.

Enforcement efforts will continue through summer, with a particular emphasis on boating

safety, because of the nine or so fatalities on the water in the valley last year, noted Beck.

Conservation officers in both Vernon and Penticton dealt with several bear complaints, with the fourth put down in Penticton this year and two put down in Vernon because of aggressive behaviour.

Proper planting saves water GWEN STEELE Okanagan Xeriscape Association

W

ith the warmer weather, many of us are already working in our yards, visiting garden centers, planning our gardens, and getting our lawnmower out. How we plant and what we plant can have a tremendous impact on how much water we use.

Did you know that about 24 per cent of the Okanagan’s water is used on residential lawns and gardens?

In fact, on average, Okanagan residents use more than two times more water than the average Canadian. Yet we have less available per person than almost anywhere in Canada.

While we often hear about global warming, it may be more appropriate to call it global weirding. Studies indicate that more rain and less snow, but at the wrong time for our growing season, and long hot summer droughts are going to become more common in the Okanagan. Of course, with drought comes more watering restrictions. It makes sense then to move to a less thirsty alternative to landscaping.

Xeriscaping is the perfect solution.

When done properly, one can reduce outside water use by 30 to 100 per cent, depending on the landscape design and plants used.

Contrary to common perceptions of xeriscape as rocks with a few cactus or struggling plants, a xeriscape can be created in almost any style

of landscaping, including a lush English country garden. Xeriscape involves gardening with the natural environment you live in to create a landscape that needs little or no supplemental water.

The seven principles of xeriscape include: appropriate planning and design, proper soil, ensuring lawn is only placed in practical areas, efficient and appropriate irrigation, correct plant selection, mulching, and timely maintenance.

In addition to saving water, there are many benefits to xeriscape.

For example, a welldesigned xeriscape can enhance the value of your home. During watering restrictions, xeriscape gardens thrive compared to conventional landscapes. And, over a 20-year period, a well-designed and maintained xeriscape can cost as little as 30 per cent of what it would cost to maintain a conventional lawnbased landscape.

Also, plants in a xeriscape are planted in their ideal conditions so they thrive and are much less vulnerable to pests and diseases.

The need for pesticides can be eliminated. The need for chemical fertilizers can also be eliminated with the use of organic-type mulches (e.g. compost, manure)

which fertilize at a slow even rate throughout the growing season and help create healthier soil.

Plus, eliminating chemicals also protects your family’s health, the environment and keeps toxic chemicals out of our drinking water.

For existing landscapes, start small.

Immediate water savings can be achieved by covering bare soil with a five centimetre layer of organic mulch. Avoid rock mulch as it intensifies heat and is hard to weed.

Check irrigation systems for leaks, and adjust for weather and season. Water less often and observe how this affects your plants.

Avoid watering during the day to reduce evaporation and avoid runoff.

Ontario and received positive feedback that allowed him to continue and develop on this own. He has worked in a number of different mediums but has settled on oils and acrylics.

After a few business trips to the Okanagan, Jell was so impressed with the ecological diversity of the area that he decided to move here, and has since developed his artistic expression towards his love of nature.

“The majority of my work is inspired by my surroundings. There is something very special about the Okanagan. I am very thankful to live here,” said Jell.

Jell has entered a number of national and regional juried shows, where he has won People’s Choice and Best of Show among other awards. His giclée print of his painting, Red Tail Hawk, hangs in the House of Commons in Ottawa.

His work has also been on the cover of both Art Avenue, a magazine published by the Federation of Canadian Artists, and Beef in B.C., published by the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association.

BCWF’s Artist of the Year program was developed in 1992 with the goal of honouring an artist whose work celebrates the beauty of B.C.’s fish, wildlife and habitats.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Michael Jell’s Great Grey Owl, a 24-by-36 acrylic on masonite, has earned the Vernon painter the title of 2012 Artist of the Year by the B.C. Wildlife Federation.

The sale of the artists’ limited edition art prints fund BCWF conservation projects throughout the province while also recognizing the talent of B.C. artists. Signed, limited edition prints of Jell’s winning entry will be on sale in early 2012.

More examples of Jell’s work can been seen on his website, www.michaeljell.com.

STREET SOUNDS

this live recording done on May 10, 1963.

Two weeks before The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan was released, Dylan gigged at a college outside of Boston, Brandeis University, low on the slot of a folk festival.

Although Blowin’ in the Wind was featured on his upcoming album, he doesn’t do it here – an early indicator of his mercurial integrity. Instead, Dylan goes with the evening’s flow.

Dylan’s young, but his voice is old and the ambiance recorded in the college’s gym brings out the time capsule

quality captured here: It’s Dylan, acoustic guitar, and mouth harp.

All three are sharp and clear and Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues brings the confidence and humour in Dylan’s commentary into focus.

The antediluvian character is best appreciated when hearing the tight, polite applause of the audience. One can see them sitting, restrained in rows, politely clapping.

Dylan’s early Woody Guthrie obsessions are delivered over into his chilling human travelogue of misfortune and hard times in The Ballad of Hollis Brown, a hyp-

notic report of frontier tragedy intoned like a hollow-eyed prophet of the woods.

Vernon’s Michael Jell has been named the Artist of the Year 2012 by the B.C. Wildlife Federation for his Great Grey Owl painting.

The painting was chosen from 30 entries submitted to the annual competition. A jury selected three finalists based on composition, creativity, originality, Michael Jell technical proficiency and overall appeal.

The artwork was displayed at the BCWF’s 55th annual general meeting and convention April 12 to 16 in Surrey, and the 175 delegates who attended the meeting chose the winner.

Jell was born in Maidstone, England, but spent most of his childhood in Zimbabwe, Africa. In 1969, his family moved to Eastern Canada.

As Posnikoff said in a recent interview: “I don’t have a plan B because I never felt like I needed one. This is all I want to do.

This is all I’ve ever wanted to do.”

Named band of the month on Victoria’s modern rock station, The Zone, throughout October last year, MBM’s song, No Time, continues to receive frequent air time.

The band’s new album, produced by Simon Kendall, former keyboard player with Doug and the Slugs, features MBM’s pulsating party vibe, however, songs also deliver heartfelt and meaningful lyrics.

Continued from page B2 the natural reverb of the room, making it the most evocative track of the sevensong set.

Brandeis University 1963 narrowly escaped oblivion and casually caught Dylan hitting his stride toward destiny –– a historic period piece rendered with detail.

On Machines, Kingsbury asks, “Lord won’t you be telling me, what happened to the honeybees? Tell me why the money tree is the only one preserved.”

MBM will release a music video for the song to air on MuchMusic in late-June.

Mindil Beach Markets’ Saturday appearance at the Talkin’ Donkey, 392332nd St., starts at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:30, and cover is by donation. The June 11 show at Lorenzo’s, 901 Mabel Lake Rd., starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10.

Talkin’ about a legend This stark simplicity is brought further along that ledge with a bitter, confident Masters of War with Dylan sounding like a politically disillusioned Son House, not long before Vietnam –– a bleary wake-up call.

Dylan’s transitional state is preserved on two word fests, Talking World War III Blues and Talkin’ Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues (notable for Dylan’s relaxed, sharp banter.)

These mouthfuls are Dylan in his Guthrie guise; an homage to his hero that was soon to fade.

What emerged were songs like Bob Dylan’s Dream, a bittersweet musing on nostalgia and friendship, clothed in longing with Dylan sounding raw and vulnerable.

This image-laden song is enhanced by

Victoria’s Mindil Beach Markets performs shows at Vernon’s Talkin’ Donkey Saturday and Ashton Creek’s Lorenzo’s Café June 11 on its current tour promoting its self-titled CD.

OFFER EXPIRES JUNE 30, 2011

Get ready for a blistering blend of rock, reggae, hip hop, folk, funk, and blues when Victoria band Mindil Beach Markets, or MBM for short, visits two North Okanagan hot spots in the coming weeks.

Touring on the release of its selftitled debut album, MBM is circling the Okanagan-Shuswap performing at Vernon’s Talkin’ Donkey coffee house Saturday, and returns later to play Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek June 11.

Propelling MBM’s unique sound is its array of vocal talent –– two singers and a rapper –– who each bring a distinct element to the band’s repertoire: a love for the planet matched with a love to party.

Pat Codere and Daniel Kingsbury are both 2011 Vancouver Island Music Awards’ male vocalist of the year nominees, while fellow bandmates bassist Matt Posnikoff, Rod Campbell on keys and drummer Cam Ainslie bring on the funk.

Each member has been immersed in music from a very young age and with that passion MBM has been reaching out to more listeners at festivals and shows around the country.

To date, MBM has been billed with such acts as Nazareth, Del The Funky Homosapien (Hieroglyphics/Gorillaz), Katchafire, Ridley Bent, Hey Ocean, Current Swell, Jon and Roy, The Racoons, Hollerado, and We Are The City.

Time to give ol’ Jack the boot Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides ★★1/2 out of 5

W

ith the latest Pirates of the Caribbean currently sailing through every conceivable multiplex on the planet, fans are able to give a fond send-off to Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the more entertaining characters to emerge on the big screen in decades.

And yes, I am Jason Armstrong aware that On Stranger Tides sets up what looks to be yet another sequel for the franchise.

It’ll make money, but from a critical standpoint, it’s not exactly a winsome proposal.

See, with this, the fourth Pirates adventure (and let’s not forget, for the love of Jolly Roger, the whole thing is based on a theme park ride), the series isn’t washed up, but it’s definitely waterlogged. Depp is always fun to watch, but the movie around is a bit yo ho... yawn.

Thus, my optimistic, but highly unlikely, wish: Do the right thing, Johnny. Hang up them pirate boots.

The first of the Pirates movies not directed by Gore Verbinski (and, given the bloated ball of confusion that was 2007’s At World’s End, perhaps that’s not such a bad thing), On Stranger Tides has Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) at the helm. Good thing this movie is full of sequins, flamboyant choreography and a whole lot of eyeliner (and here,

STORK REPORT

Hosted by local churches, the non-denominational Spiritfest takes place Sunday and all are welcome to the free celebration in Polson Park that features a barbecue, live music and kids’ activities.

Gathering as a community Spiritfest welcomes all to celebrate with food, music and friendship KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

Music, barbecued hamburgers and children’s games are all on the menu as local churches host Spiritfest this Sunday in Polson Park.

“We were trying to explore the different ways the PLURA churches — Presbyterian, Catholic, United, Lutheran and Anglican — could gather as a community,” said Pastor Rick Schulz, with Peace Lutheran Church. “We can get ingrained in our own way of doing things and our own traditions as being the right way.”

For many years, members of the churches gathered as a community during Lent, sharing a simple supper along with fellowship.

“We felt that idea had run its course but we all felt that it was important that we get together in some form so we came up with the idea of the ecumenical picnic,” said Schulz. “It’s a way to say we can simply gather as Christians to find a way to set our differences aside for a moment and that we hold many of the same values.

“And also to be part of the larger community because for many people, simply

This is Teresa...

walking into a church can be intimidating, so this is a relaxed, casual and fun event that is open to all, whether or not you are affiliated with any church.”

The first ecumenical picnic was held as a fun event that also brought people together in the park to worship. The first event, two years ago, was blessed with sunshine and attended by about 400 people.

With less-than-ideal weather last year, the picnic was not as well attended.

“Although we’ve changed the name to Spiritfest, we felt it was important to gather around food so we will have a barbecue and share food and invite everybody to come and take part,” said Schulz. “In past years, we’ve had those who were homeless attend, as well as some of the young people from the skateboard park.

“It’s an opportunity to share what we have in many ways.”

Spiritfest will feature a variety of musical entertainment on the stage, and Schulz hopes the feel of the event will be akin to an old-time church picnic, where people of all ages gathered to share food and fellowship.

“We’ll have lots of games for the kids and we encourage people to bring a lawn chair, sit under a tree, take part in a game and spend the afternoon,” he said, adding that members of the Knights of Columbus have been a huge help in bringing everything together. “They do this all the time so have the resources, but everyone has pulled together and everyone has brought

different gifts in different ways.”

Schulz said while Spiritfest will open with a welcoming prayer, there will be no actual worship involved.

“We’re just trying to get the word out that we’re here, that there are a variety of churches in town and if you want to see more, come and check us out, but our primary purpose is to get together as churches in a public way — often the stories about churches that make the news are the bad ones so we want to show that we are OK people and we can do some neat things and that we’re always open to looking for other opportunities where we can join together.”

And, while Schulz plans on keeping it casual with shorts and a golf shirt, he will have his clerical collar on as a way for people to recognize him.

“We realize that this is an important place for people to be able to meet us in a relaxed setting and we need to be easily identified, not to mention people from other churches recognizing us.”

Spiritfest takes place May 29 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Polson Park, near the bandshell. In case of rain, the event will move to the parish hall at St. James Catholic Church. There is no charge to attend: the churches involved are providing everything for the day, although a freewill offering will be taken, with all proceeds going to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Chaplaincy Committee Fund.

We do it the light way.

Looking to create the perfect mood? A good table or floor lamp can make all the difference and Teresa can help you make the right choice.

It’s time to forgive the past

D

ear Annie: Nearly 23 years ago, at the end of my Ph.D. studies, I became ill with severe depression. Not recognizing the problem, I selfmedicated with illegal drugs and became an addict. I was so messed up that I had to move back in with my parents, who provided a roof over my head but nothing else. My father, a doctor, sent me to a psychiatrist who misdiagnosed me with bipolar disease. I was unable to work and had no money. At the end of a year, I was no better. I tried to burglarize my father’s office to get drugs, and my parents had me arrested.

They then disowned me, and I became homeless.

I lived in a shelter and began working at simple jobs I felt I could handle.

After two years, a friend insisted I be hospitalized in a men-

tal health facility. A psychiatrist there correctly diagnosed me with major depression and began treatment.

Within a matter of weeks, I was much improved and able to stop using illegal drugs.

From there, I found a job near my educational level. I later married and have since lived a productive and happy life.

Here’s the problem: I have seven siblings.

Some of them still speak ill of me to others, even manufacturing dramatic lies about me. My recovery has seemingly meant nothing to them. Can you help me understand why they drag me down like this? After all the years I lost, it seems like a very ugly thing to do. Is there anything I can say or do to stop it?

friend insists on controlling everything within their apartment and makes her life miserable.

Years ago, I was in a similar situation. With the landlord’s approval, I gave my roommate 30 days’ notice to find someone else to live with her, and I moved out. If “Fed Up” can afford to do this, she might consider taking this action rather than suffering through another nine months of her roommate’s bossiness until the lease expires.

When people are considering moving in together, it is important that they have a serious talk beforehand about housekeeping, bill paying, visitors and anything else that can come up when you room with another person. Even best friends who think they know each other well can be

unpleasantly surprised when they are sharing close quarters. In my case, moving in with my best friend ruined the relationship. — Sadder but Wiser

Brother inspires teen to cycle across Canada Morning Star Staff

He’s inspired by his brother, Kerr, who travels in a wheelchair and speaks with blinks and a communication device.

With a dip of his bike into the Pacific Ocean, Skye Wattie launched his coast-tocoast cycling journey in Port Renfrew, B.C., May 19. Sometimes accompanied by Kerr in a bike trailer and supported by their mother, Gail Fisher-Taylor, Skye and his family are on a journey until Aug. 4 to empower the voices of people with limited or no speech, and to make accessibility and inclusion for the more than three million Canadians with disabilities a

national priority.

They’re calling their education and fundraising campaign Kilometres for Communication, and Skye and his mom are in Vernon today meeting at the Schubert Centre with a group of “Cool Communicators,” people who speak in alternative ways. Skye will talk about what motivated him to start Kilometres for Communication, and to ask each of the Cool Communicators about what their most important issues are.

Kerr, Skye and Gail want Canadians to understand that most people who are without speech are able to communicate in alternative ways if given the supports they

DON’T REPLACE SUNKEN AND UNSIGHTLY CONCRETE!

need. However, too often there are long waiting lists for those services and a lack of funding for communication devices and assistance.

From B.C. to Newfoundland, Skye and his family will wheel into communities large and small to meet with people who are communicating in creative ways: by blinking, nodding or raising their eyes to indicate the word or letter they want, by using head pointers, switches or eye gazes on sensitive computers to speak or write. They want Canadians to hear the stories of people who speak in different ways. They are asking each of them to tell their

stories so that no one in Canada will ever again equate not being able to talk with not having anything to say.

There are an estimated 375,000 Canadians with limited or no speech.

Many have conditions like cerebral palsy, MS or ALS, which prevent them from moving the muscles in their mouths which enable speech. Others have had strokes, or serious car accidents. Or they have autism, aphasia, cancer, developmental delay, Alzheimer’s, or other medical conditions.

Kilometres for Communication is a project of the Canadian Chapter of the International Society for Augmentative

Penticton slams gate on pursuing prison referendum BRUCE WALKINSHAW Black Press

Due to provincial regulations prohibiting such a vote, Penticton council has cancelled a binding referendum on whether the municipality pursues a prison.

Instead, Mayor Dan Ashton announced the city will hold a nonbinding community opinion poll from June 14 to 18.

Originally, Ashton said council had been advised that the prison issue met the criteria for a binding referendum under the community charter, the set of rules which govern B.C. municipalities. However, council recently received a legal assessment stating otherwise.

The community opinion poll process will cost the city only $6,000 compared to the referendumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $50,000 bill.

Ashton said that when it comes time for council to deliberate on the prison, he will cast his vote based on the opinion poll results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be listening to what the community says and I have been saying that all the way along,â&#x20AC;? said Ashton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the majority of this community wants to carry on with this process then I am prepared to do that and if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not prepared to do that.â&#x20AC;?

Penticton submitted two sites to the provincial government in March â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one on Campbell Mountain and the other near the Cantex gravel pit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as part of a larger regional bid. It voted unanimously to hold the now-cancelled binding referendum after facing growing opposition to the prison, including a May 2 protest and a 3,458-signature petition

presented to the mayor Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the

hard work that those individuals have done but I want to hear what

the entire community has to say,â&#x20AC;? Ashton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t some-

thing that is for one or two years. A facility like this will be in Penticton

SIR program has huge impact on codling moth JUDIE STEEVES Black Press

There’s been a 95 per cent reduction in the amount of organophosphate pesticides used in the Okanagan Valley in the past 19 years due to the Sterile Insect Release program used to combat codling moth in apple orchards.

Entomologist Hugh Philip was reporting to the SIR board, which is made up of representatives from the four regional districts that are part of the areawide program.

“The program has had a considerable impact on the prevalence of codling moth,” reported Philip, and that has translated into far fewer pesticides being applied in orchards.

In total, he said 74 per cent less pesticide is being used since the program began, from 5.4 kilograms or litres per hectare in 1991, to 1.4 kilograms or litres per hectare in 2010, in pome orchards such as apple and pear.

Philip’s figures take into account the reduction in apple orchard acreage in that time, which is a 53 per cent drop, from 8,900 hectares in 1991 to 3,796 in 2010.

Even in zone two and three, from Peachland north, the use of chemicals to combat the devastating, introduced pest of apples, has now dropped to as low as in zone one, where the program began and where it has successfully replaced all chemical sprays for the codling moth for more than a decade, he reported.

With such low populations, an alternate, chemical-free option for control of the codling moth works very effectively, he said.

Mating disruption is now being used in this area instead of using sterilized moths that have been irradiated in the Osoyoos rearing facility.

Strips containing a synthesized sex phero-

mone that mimics a mating attractant are put out in the orchard and confuse the moths so they are unable to mate and reproduce.

Philip noted the area-wide program costs orchardists $139 an acre each season, while mating disruption costs $166 per acre per season, and chemical controls cost

program to strip the fruit from their trees, while eight commercial orchards have also been ordered to strip their fruit because of a high level of infestation of codling moth, which could re-infest their neighbours’ fruit.

Orchardist Fred Steele of Kelowna, who is also a member of the SIR board and of

“The program has had a considerable impact on the prevalence of codling moth.”

— Hugh Philip between $95 and $134 a spray, which must be applied three times a season.

It’s still necessary for people with backyard host trees such as

apple, pear and crabapple to control codling moth or else strip all the fruit from their trees while it’s still immature.

Otherwise, commercial orchards could be re-

infested with codling moth.

In areas around orchards, this year 240 residential propertyowners have been ordered by the SIR

the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association board, commented that there are still some orchardists who automatically put on three cover sprays a year for codling moth, whether it’s needed or not. “We have to change that,” he commented.

Philip said few orchardists should need to spray even once this year for codling moth.

Activity Horoscope

BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL There is a good chance that some exciting developments spurred by welcome changes will be in the offing for you in the next year. Once the chain of events begins, a ripple effect of good fortune will cascade through your life.

PUZZLE NO. 203

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is not going to be a good day for you if you decide to take a gamble on something you know to be risky. Don’t blindly follow a pal into dangerous waters. You’ll both founder.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203

HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Go ahead and be selfserving, but know there will be a price to pay. In striving to fulfill a personal ambition, you might win a skirmish, but you aren’t going to win the war.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Watch your back, because someone who is feeding you information might be deliberately giving you false data in order to throw you off-course. Beware of schemers with forked tongues.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) There is a good chance you could be manipulated into an argument after which, if something goes wrong or it is mishandled, you’ll be the one who is blamed.

Don’t be left holding the bag.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) There is no better person to partner up with than you, and someone who knows this might try to take advantage of your cooperative spirit. Watch you haunches.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Sometimes manic Mondays can happen on Friday. Keep a cool noggin and your feet on the ground, and you’ll get through the flak and be chilling poolside, a wellearned daiquiri in hand.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You’ll suffer the consequences of palling around with a friend who always has to be on stage.

This person’s need for significance will irritate everyone else and drag you down as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Before becoming involved in another’s problem, beware of the ramifications if events turn out poorly.

In spite of your good intentions, things could go wrong and you’ll be blamed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although your powers of concentration are usually pretty good, things could go wrong.

A little daydreaming and/ or flights of fancy might distort life’s realism and throw you off-course.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It’s more important than usual for you to be prepared for life’s unexpected contingencies and to handle your resources very carefully. Put off making any long-term loans for the moment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone who was committed to your cause might suddenly switch sides. Learn from this experience so that next time you’ll know how to select a better cohort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Putting off doing what needs to be done will have negative repercussions.

You know you’ll pay the price, but I doubt that you’ll know how much it will cost you.

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.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder In “The Exploits and Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy,” Elizabeth Aston wrote: “You can’t jump down the stairs in one leap, however much you might wish to, and you even more surely can’t jump up it, but one step and then the next and there you are, at the top or the bottom and not a bit out of breath or discomposed.”

At the bridge table, even in the declarer play, you must sometimes leap -- take positive action -and sometimes bide your time. In today’s deal, how should South play in four hearts after West leads the diamond jack?

North’s raise to three hearts indicated some 4-7 high-card points. South

settled for game because he had a minimum twoclub opening.

When the deal was originally played, declarer leapt, covering West’s diamond jack with dummy’s queen. But East won with his ace and shifted to the club queen.

The defenders collected one spade, one diamond and two clubs for down one.

Yes, South was unlucky that both aces were badly placed, but he could have made his contract with a delaying play. At trick one, he should have called for dummy’s low diamond.

What would East have done?

If he had overtaken with his ace and switched to the club queen, declarer

10 x 10 Harlig Ikea cabinets would have won two spades, six hearts and two diamonds. If East had ducked, South would have ruffed East’s diamond ace at trick two, drawn trumps ending in the dummy, and discarded a club loser on the established diamond winner to lose only one spade, one diamond and one club.

In Memoriam

In Memoriam In Loving Memory of

Mary “Baba” Ewanchuk

Sept. 1, 1917 - May 28, 2006 Hard to believe it’s been 5 years.

We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.

We think of you in silence We often speak your name But all we have are memories And your picture in a frame.

Your resting place we visit And put flowers there with care But no one knows the heartache As we turn and leave you there.

Your memory is our keepsake What more is there to say Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today.

Always remembered and missed by your loving family: Rose Fuhr, Vi (Nick) Alexis, George (Ellie), Kathy (Bill) Cobb, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
