Spall crash fatal
In the eye of the storm ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
T
hey had just returned to their Joplin home from a wedding in upstate Missouri Sunday, May 22, when former North Okanagan residents Don and Marilyn Lewis turned on their television. It was 4:30 p.m., local time, and as they watched the news, the Lewis’ discovered that a tornado warning had been issued for the Joplin area. This isn’t uncommon in Joplin, located in the southwest corner of the state, 110 miles from Tulsa, 150 miles from Kansas City, bordering Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas, in an area known as “Tornado Alley.” However, 15 minutes later, came the announcement on the TV: take cover immediately. “I took cover in a small closet under the stairwell leading upstairs and my wife took cover in a bathroom downstairs, covering herself up with pillows and blankets and things,” said Lewis Monday. Seconds later, one of the deadliest and most volatile tornadoes in American history struck the town of 50,000. The funnel cloud ripped through the area in what Lewis estimates was less than a minute, destroying more than a third of the city and killing more than 140 of its citizens, including a gentleman neighbour three doors down. “We rode it out and we were fortunate to come out without a scratch,” said Lewis who, along with Marilyn, lived in Vernon and Lumby from 1968 to 1988 where he ran a small one-man printing shop and helped found the Coldstream Christian and Lumby Christian Churches. Don and Marilyn raised three children, Larry (now in Germany), Lisa (who lives near Lumby) and Christopher (born at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, and

Former North Okanagan residents Don and Marilyn Lewis are beginning to pick up the pieces after a tornado destroyed their home in Joplin, Missouri May 22. The sign (below) that Don and Marilyn’s son, Christopher, picked up while still living in Vernon, survived the Joplin tornado and ended up stuck in the ground outside the Lewis home.
lives in Boston) before moving to Joplin to be closer to Don’s mother. Lewis worked in printing for the first 10 years in Joplin before semi-retiring to help remodel homes. Having resided in Tornado Alley for nearly 25 years, the Lewis’ had not actually experi-
enced a twister. There had been one to the north and one to the south of them, but nothing could have prepared them for what they went through May 22. “There was stuff flying around the house, glass breaking all of the time,” said Lewis in describing what he saw and heard during the longest 45 seconds-to-one-minute, in his estimation, of his life. “It was freight train-sounding, whistles, sparks this and that. “The closet I was in still had all of the walls with it. There was one bathroom wall where my wife was still there, it was the one closest to the tub. We managed to survive the thing. We are blessed.” One of the things that survived the tornado and was implanted into the ground at the Lewis home was a sign Christopher acquired while going to high school in Vernon. It’s a sign that used to hang on Highway 97 at the entrance to Polson Park:
“Welcome to Vernon: A Nuclear Weapons Free City.” Larry and Lisa are with their parents in Joplin, helping them sort through the rubble to find anything salvageable. Christopher visited for a few days before leaving for Australia for work commitments. The support Don and Marilyn are receiving from old and current friends, along with family, has been very humbling. “It’s been outstanding,” said Lewis. “People we don’t know have been sending us assistance and their prayers. Christopher’s friends have sent assistance.” The federal and state governments are now getting involved – President Barack Obama visited the site Sunday – and Lewis said he didn’t know what to expect. “Our insurance coverage doesn’t cover everything but it will help us get back on our feet,” he said.
RCMP’s North Okanagan Traffic Services continue to investigate a fatal head-on collision shortly before noon Monday. Emergency services personnel were called to a threevehicle crash in Spallumcheen on Highway 97A between Eagle Rock Road and Pleasant Valley Road. Police report there was a head-on crash in the northbound lane, and that there was a secondary crash between two vehicles almost immediately after the collision. Police said Monday one of the vehicles overturned in the crash, trapping the occupant. “Officers on the scene confirmed that one person died in the crash,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “They are not releasing the age, gender or community the person is from while they attempt to locate family members.” Three other people were taken from the crash scene to Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Two were admitted and the third was treated and released. One of the injured is from the North Okanagan and two are from the Lower Mainland. The road was closed for at least five hours while police investigated. Police are asking anyone who might have witnessed the crash to call the Vernon detachment at 250-545-7171 and ask to speak to the traffic accident investigators.

News Cyclists win challenge JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
It’s official. Driving a car isn’t any faster than riding a bike. In fact, the power of pedal beat out its car counterpart Monday morning in a race for first place. The first cyclists wheeled across the W.L. Seaton finish line in three minutes, 40 seconds from Skyride Cycle (on Silver Star Road). While the car lagged behind at six minutes, 12 seconds. “I’m still tired,� said Adam Tishenko, who was the first to roll in alongside fellow Seaton grad Marco Arnold Monday morning. “We were going in the highest speed the whole way,� added Arnold, who not only rode the challenge course, but biked from his East Hill home to the school to help set up the celebration station and then cycled up to Skyride before rolling back down the hill. The race, which kicked off Bike to Work Week in the North Okanagan, is the second annual (the cyclists came out on top in last year’s challenge too).
Vernon is one of 17 communities across B.C. joining the challenge to bike to work (expecting 16,000 to 17,000 people to take part). It’s not too late to join the challenge, as a team of one or more, at www.biketowork.ca. “Just try it,� encourages Penny Noble, executive director of the Bike To Work B.C. Society. “You don’t have to be an athlete. When I was working I used to ride in my suit, high heels and pearls everyday. “All you need is a helmet.� Noble came up from Vancouver to help Vernon kick off Bike To Work Week Monday and was impressed with the community’s dedication. “It’s a lot of greenhouse gas emissions that don’t get emitted. And it’s a lot of people having fun.� The city’s dedication to make the community more sustainable with bike lanes and trails also impressed Noble. Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert says the city has been investing $400,000 a year into infrastructure for such

W.L. Seaton grads Marco Arnold and Adam Tishenko won the car versus bike challenge from Skyride Cycle to the school Monday morning as Vernon kicked off Bike To Work Week. improvements. “We’re keeping it greener and working to help get more and more people out of their cars,� said Lippert. Bike to Work Week continues with a mid-week celebration today at B.C. Hydro from 6:30 to 9 a.m. A celebration station will be also set up Thursday from 7 to 9 a.m. at Armstrong
Elementary School. The week wraps up with a barbecue Friday at 4:30 p.m. at the Vernon Museum and Library Square. Each celebration station offers the chance for participants to enter to win a new bike and the wrap-up event will also announce the winners of a local school challenge.
W.L. Seaton’s outdoor recreation students have challenged Clarence Fulton’s global education students to get the most participation over the week. “So although Seaton might have won the actual time in the car versus bike challenge, they may or may not win the greatest participation over the week,� said
Wendy Majewski, Vernon’s transportation demand management co-ordinator. And the cycling challenge doesn’t stop there. Schools will be putting students’ pedal power to the test over the coming years. “This year and next year we are going to be rolling out cycling as part of PE courses,� said Majewski.
Search for missing Enderby teen underway ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A search is continuing for Enderby resident Daniel Linz. The 17-year-old A.L. Fortune Grade 11 student has not been seen since Friday night when he attended a party at Riverside Park in Enderby. “We’ve been told he was at the park with friends, there was alcohol consumed, he fell asleep in the park and did not return home,� said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Monday.
Police were first alerted to Linz being missing Saturday at around 10:30 a.m. The family went back to the park and found his backpack, hoodie and toque beside a picnic table which was in close proximity to the fast-flowing Shuswap River that borders Riverside Park. Vernon Search and Rescue officials were called to the scene Saturday at around 3 p.m. “Our search crews were brought in and they were tasked
to search the river,� said Leigh Pearson Search and Rescue search manager. “Teams were sent out to search both shores of the river by land while a swift water team entered the river to search for the male.� The search stood down Saturday at 10 p.m. due to darkness, resumed Sunday with no luck in locating Linz. The search continued Monday afternoon. There is no indication of foul play in the incident. The family is appealing for
anybody who may have seen or heard from Linz to call them. Police say it is out of the norm for Linz not to call his parents if he’s going to be away from home for more than a day. Search and Rescue crews were also back in Cherryville combing the banks of Monashee Creek for a 31-year-old Vernon man missing and presumed drowned in the creek. The man went missing from the Goldpanner Campground on the May long weekend after
he allegedly went into the creek to retrieve his dog.

Charles Bloom valedictorian questions class of 2011 BY TRENTON SQUAIR
Recently I was asked to write a speech, and to tell you the truth it is a lot harder than you would think, let me put it this way I have written four separate speeches, and they were all rejected....by my mother. So I thought to myself what is my strongest quality... then it hit me, my strongest quality is my ability to ask questions. So I figured that’s how I am going to write my speech. And let’s all hope that the fifth time is a charm, because I think it’s a little too late to write another one, and if it bombs then I would like to formally resign from my position as valedictorian. Throughout our lives we are constantly asked questions, some more important than others, but nevertheless answers are always wanted. In elementary school the questions start out easy enough, maybe something simple like “What is your favourite colour?” Or “Can you tell me how to spell principal?” Even though some of us today still have trouble answering those questions. But as we got older the questions became much more difficult to answer... with a single word answer like yes or no. In Grade 7 our teachers and parents asked us what we thought at the time was the most important question in our life, “What High School would you like to attend,” they asked, “would you like to attend Kalamalka, Fulton, or maybe even Charles Bloom?” Obviously the students sitting here chose to come to Bloom. After these students decided to come to Bloom came the next big question. “Who
are going to be your friends?” At that moment all the students started looking around trying to find old friends and make new ones. The JWI kids began to hang out with the Whitevale kids, the Whitevale kids hung out with the Lavington kids, and we all hung out with the Cherryville kids... but it wasn’t very hard there was only five of them. After finding our new friends that we would soon share so many memories with on our new journey, we were asked another question, “What classes are you going to choose?” And to those of you who think that this should be no trouble at all, you are all truly mistaken. Not only will these classes help you decide your future, they also have to give you some enjoyment, so we don’t fall asleep in them. So let’s just say not very
many students wanted to choose English, which is why it is a mandatory class. But as the years went on our friendships began to grow, according to Mr. Bates and Mr. Thompson being the math geeks that they are the growth would probably be considered exponential. But not only did the friendships with our classmates grow but also with our teachers, people became comfortable with each and every one of them. We were able to go into their classrooms during lunches and breaks and just have a conversation. The next big question has been one that has been sitting in the background. People have been asking us this question our whole lives, but most of the time when we answer this question we don’t put much thought into the answer, instead we just want to

This question is “What are you going to do when you grow up?” Now this question can be asked in many different forms whether it is “And do you have any plans for after high school?” to

“My daughter is going to become a doctor, what are you going in for?” And it truly pains me to see a person struggling with this question, so I have a solution for you all, you do not need to know what you are going to do or have your life mapped out. I understand that this is a shock to you all, and Mrs. Glinsbockel is probably regretting that I was chosen to be the valedictorian right about now, but truthfully you do not need to know. Now just because you don’t need to know what you are going to do or where you’re going to go, does not mean you don’t have to go anywhere or do anything. But I want you all to remember that it does not matter if you become a lawyer who makes millions, a logger who does it because they love it, or a trophy wife... who has questionable
these questions, “What is your favourite colour?” or “Who are going to be your friends?” There is only one question that we can be asked, and that is “Did you have fun?” and I hope we can all individually say that we did. Whether it was in the gym, the classroom, or not at school, I hope we can all look back at our memories and say that we did have fun. I would like to quote someone famous... I’m not a hundred percent sure who they were, but they’ll have to do. The quote goes “I want you all to remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.” But in conclusion I have one last question for you all... “Can you all please stand up, put your hands together, and give a big round of applause to the Charles Bloom Graduating Class of 2011?!”

motives. As long as you do your best at whatever life throws your way, that is all that you or anyone else can ask for. But with that subject comes a follow-up question and the question is “Will you be successful?” There is no way to gauge what is success or who is successful, some people believe that money is the only thing that can relate to success, while others say it is something much more simple, like having a family or loving your job. But there is no real definition to this question, much like all the others. The answer is something that you must find out for yourself, whether you go on to climb Mt. Everest, or open up your own business, after we leave Charles Bloom we will all have to go on and define success in our very own words and actions. But after asking all

Valley-wide chase nabs suspect Hearts ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Okanagan RCMP detachments helped one another Monday morning to nab a suspect driving a stolen vehicle near Vernon. Kelowna RCMP were alerted to a stolen 1990s GMC truck out of Alberta, hauling a B.C. flatdeck trailer carrying John Deere riding mowers Monday morning. Lake Country officers spotted the vehicle on Highway 97 at around 4 a.m. and notified the Vernon detachment as the truck was heading northbound on the highway. After a report the vehicle turned off the highway near Bailey Road, Vernon officers found the vehicle on Commonage Road and set up a spike belt, which was successfully deployed as the truck drove over the belt. “The driver took off from the scene on foot but he was arrested a short time later, just before 5 a.m.,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord

Molendyk. The suspect, a 37-year-old West Kelowna man, was discovered to have been prohibited and suspended from driving a motor vehicle. The man is expected to face charges of driving while prohibited - suspended, as well several charges of theft and possession of stolen property. The truck, trailer and mowers were all discovered by police to have been stolen. The value of the mowers was not known. Molendyk said that as the file originated in Kelowna, officers from that detachment would be coming up to Vernon Monday to take possession of the stolen property.

Young women flee police ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Two women are facing a variety of charges in connection with an incident that began with a report of fraud and ended with Vernon RCMP deploying a spike belt in Okanagan Landing. RCMP received a report of a woman attempting to use fraudulent credit cards at the Vernon London Drugs Saturday at around 7:40 p.m. “Our officer located the suspect vehicle in the parking lot of London Drugs,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “When the officer approached the driver to tell her why she was being stopped, the driver fled.” The officer, when reaching for the door of the car, was struck by the vehicle as it left the scene. The officer was not injured. The vehicle was located in Okanagan Landing on Eastside Road after police received a report from a
concerned citizen about an erratic driver. Police headed to the scene and laid out a spike belt along Eastside Road. As the vehicle was returning towards Vernon, it drove over the belt and ended up in a ditch. The two female occupants of the vehicle suffered minor injuries, but were arrested and taken into custody. The driver, 26, from Coquitlam, is facing charges of fraud, assaulting a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from a police officer. The passenger, 15, from Vancouver, is facing charges of fraud and impersonation. Both were slated to appear in Vernon Provincial Court on Monday.
Trial underway
Cup fraud strikes Morning Star Staff
Kelowna RCMP say it was only a matter of time. Police are confirming a case of fraud where a Lake Country resident has forked over $3,200 for four nonexistent Stanley Cup final tickets. “We were advised on May 29 that the victim had seen the tickets on a Toronto Internet classified site,” said Kelowna RCMP Const. Steve Holmes. “E-mails were exchanged between the victim and suspect, and a $3,200 bank transfer was done. Since the transaction, the victim has not been able to contact the suspect and has received no tickets.” Police are investigating the incident as a fraud and are warning the public, once again, to be wary of such offers. “There is no real way to tell if a seller, using the Internet classifieds, is honest or not,” said Holmes. “It is not difficult to set up an e-mail account, a phone number and an online bank account using false information. Then, after bilking unsuspecting victims of thousands of dollars, simply close up shop to avoid detection, and start all over again.” Police recommend the public do its homework before buying anything on line.

Vacant Cherryville trailer destroyed in blaze JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
A suspicious blaze in Cherryville burnt a vacant trailer to the ground Monday morning. The fire was called in Monday morning just before 5 a.m. in the 1100 block of Highway 6, past Frank’s General Store. Cherryville does not have any fire protection,
and although the location is outside the Lumby Fire Department’s area, they attended anyway to ensure no one was at risk. “It was unknown if anybody was inside the building,” said Tony Clayton, Lumby Fire Department, who discovered once they were on scene that the trailer was vacant. But the structure was a complete loss.
“The fire is highly suspicious...” — Henry Proce “If was fully engulfed when I got there,” said Clayton. Firefighters cooled down the blaze and ensured there was no risk of it spreading
before leaving. RCMP are now investigating the blaze. “The fire is highly suspicious because it is vacant,” said Lumby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Henry Proce. “It’s been vacant for about a year or so.” Proce credits the Lumby Fire Department for their actions, particularly since there is no fire protection in Cherryville.
“They were instrumental in getting the fire under control.” If it was confirmed that no one was inside the structure and there was no risk of spreading, the trailer would have been left to burn to the ground. “This happens about once or twice a year. There have been some nice homes lost in Cherryville,” said Proce.
“There’s four or five I’ve been to that have just burned to the ground.” Without fire protection, Cherryville residents are left to fend for themselves to fight fires. “The residents of Cherryville have consistently turned down the option for fire protection, they don’t want to pay the extra taxes,” said Proce.

Murals aren’t enough
J
ust last week, members of Vernon city council unanimously endorsed a mural that will recognize Axel Ebring, who shaped local clay into utilitarian, yet captivating, pottery. This comes a year after the powers-that-be approved an outdoor painting about legendary artist Sveva Caetani. Now the murals that abound downtown are absolutely wonderful. They add colour and creativity to streets and alleys, but, more importantly, they cause us to pause about our history and those that came before us. But raising their hands for murals appears to be Richard Rolke as far as council is willing to go culturally. Specifically, conditions at the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives and the Vernon Public Art Gallery are deteriorating. Storage is overflowing to the point that managing artifacts is a challenge. Requirements for ceiling heights and climate control can’t be met, meaning travelling exhibits head down the road. Residents desire to learn more about the arts and history but there’s little space for programs. Some significant items — including those from Caetani and Ebring — never see the light of day, or aren’t featured properly because quarters are cramped. It’s been suggested by some that the magic bullet is to expand into the building vacated by the library once it moves to 30th Avenue next year. And on the surface that sounds good given that the museum is right next door. However, it would be difficult and costly to retrofit these structures with the climate and light controls vital for the integrity of precious artifacts. There would be no natural flow as the original design would prevail, while a lack of
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
16-foot ceilings would still keep touring exhibits away. Art gallery officials have previously requested 16,000-square-feet, far more than the size of the current library. Within a short time, that space would also be full. The other problem is once the museum or gallery moves into the library building, the politicians will be convinced long-term needs are addressed. There will be no appetite to discuss a purpose-built building after that. Culture appears to be a luxury, particularly when there’s a recession and dollars are tight. But beyond educating our youth and feeding our souls, there are practical reasons to support the arts. Tourists look for reasons to stop in a community and while at the museum or art gallery, they will shop or dine. Given the national and international recognition of Ebring, Caetani and Allan Brooks, Vernon could become a cultural destination. Families and companies also consider a community’s amenities before deciding to relocate. Those cities that thrive economically and socially are the ones that have a vibrant and strong arts scene. It should also be pointed out that the perfect site for a cultural complex exists just a block from the Caetani mural — the cityowned Coldstream Hotel parking lot. Ultimately, taxpayers would have to commit to construction and operating costs, but that isn’t an insurmountable challenge. Remember that political leadership over the years has led to Civic Arena, the recreation complex, the Performing Arts Centre and Wesbild Centre. That same approach is being followed now for a proposed sports complex next to the college. However, given the track record of Greater Vernon politicians I suspect there will be a heritage mural of them twiddling their thumbs long before the art gallery and museum have a new home.
It’s time to save on exorbitant gas prices and use the power of pedal to get around this week. Bike to Work Week is underway in 17 communities across B.C., including the North Okanagan. It’s an opportunity, and excuse, to get more people out of their cars and into a healthier, more sustainable mode of transportation. Many people think cycling to work would take 10 times longer than driving. But that is simply not the case. Monday’s kick-off event to Bike to Work Week proved that theory wrong in the car versus bike challenge. The bikes won, coming in close to two minutes ahead of the cars. Now obviously the route gave the cyclists a bit of a benefit, being downhill and all. But the reality is that most routes around our fair city wouldn’t take that much longer on a bike than they would in a car. And in some cases, it might even be quicker. The city has and continues to establish bike lanes and trails to make cycling an easier and safer transportation alternative. Then there are all the winning benefits to riding on two wheels versus four: increased physical activity, numerous health improvements ranging from respiratory to mental (the ride to work is proven to be less stressful on a bike than in a car), fewer greenhouse gas emissions polluting our atmosphere and just think of all the money you’ll save with gas prices at $1.29 a litre. If, for whatever excuse, you can’t ditch your car for a bike, at least have the courtesy to share the road with cyclists and keep everyone safe.

Finding a long-term solution
O
vercrowding at a hospital has potentially fatal consequences. It’s not just a matter of discomfort and indignity. Health professionals are raising the alarm because we need to care for all patients thoroughly and quickly. But when a hospital is regularly forced to admit up to 29 per cent more patients than capacity – 44 more than the 148 beds at Vernon Jubilee – lives are at stake. Surgeries are cancelled. The people of Vernon deserve better. The Health Sciences Association applauds the health professionals at VJH who have been speaking out with the Purple Ribbon campaign for more beds. And we applaud the City of Vernon for its unanimous vote recently to support the campaign. Many doctors and health professionals agree that the acute bed shortage is partially caused by a lack of long term care and other community supports. When HSA’s representatives met with the new Minister of Health last month, we described an innovative program that is already working at
IHA WANTS YOUR HELP "As the seniors' care system evolves — with the advice and involvement of national and international seniors' care experts, local care planners, advocates, seniors and their families — the Ministry of Health expects B.C. will become a better place for seniors of every age." (from BC Ministry of Health 2005) This philosophy is echoed in IHA's Community Engagement Framework: As an organization, we believe it is our responsibility to involve communities in decisions that impact their health care options. Our goal is to bring diverse voices to the table, to further the process of information sharing and generate solutions based on collective wisdom and good will. Coupled together we are witnessing a seismic shift in health care, from the previous top-down, 'we know best'' model to one that is more inclusive in its decisionmaking matrix." "Recognizing this shift, Interior Health increasingly relies on cooperation with local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups and individual citizens when making decisions that impact their health care services and their environments." Please help IHA. If you have
VJH to reduce congestion: the integrated care program. This program uses a multi-disciplinary team to manage the transition of complex care patients back into the community; it is proving very effective, and the program is spreading to other areas in Interior Health. It helps move patients out of the hospital more quickly, and into a community care situation with the supportive services they
suggestions for their continually improving health services and new standards of excellence, please contact Honourable Michael de Jong, Minister of Health Services, Room 337, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C., V8V 1X4. Christian Sjonnesen Music Therapist FUNDING NEEDED Over the past five years, my orthopedic surgeon, Dr. J. Splawinski, has performed four operations on me. Two of those operations were done in Vernon at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. The other two were done in Salmon Arm and at the UBC. I am now scheduled for a fifth operation and will need to once again travel to Vancouver where my surgeon can meet me in an operating room. I feel the Ministry of Health should fund the Interior Health Authority to complete the construction, provide the staff and open the new in-patient wards and operating rooms in the new Tower of Care at VJH. Allen Smith POLITICAL FUNDING Prime Minister Harper has indicated that he will quickly move to phase out per-vote subsidies in our federal elections.
The elections funding reforms of 2001, were one of the final pieces of legislation under the Chretien Liberals. This eliminates major funding by unions and corporations and was a very sound move to preserve democracy in Canada. The hugely corrupting influence of big money as we currently see in the U.S.A. is thus limited. The old adage, “Who pays the piper calls the tune,” is very applicable here. Another way to say it is, that if we as citizens do not pay for our elections, then others with vested interest certainly will. Yes it costs money to the tune of $27 million per year but very much worth it. Please speak out on this potentially very harmful move by the Conservative government. David M. Kennedy THANK YOU Hope all of you had a great Easter! I just wanted to convey a simple "message of thanks" to whoever is responsible for delivering surprises for the little ones in our neighborhood. I am a mother of a two-year-old boy from Mt. Begbie Drive here in Vernon. Last Easter Sunday, my son, walked out of our front door
need. A team of physiotherapists, dietitians, occupational therapists, social workers, respiratory therapists, long term case managers, and community family physicians is working together in this innovative project that both improves care and cuts treatment costs. HSA is the union that represents more than 16,000 health professionals working in BC’s hospitals and health centres, including laboratory technologists, x-ray and CT technologists, social workers, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists and cardiology technologists, among many others. Currently, our members are pushed beyond the brink – and distressed that patients at Vernon Jubilee may not be receiving the level of care they deserve. We urge the Interior Health Authority and Health Minister Michael de Jong to address this dangerous situation with strategic, long-term solutions that will improve the lives of all Vernon residents. Reid Johnson, President Health Sciences Association of BC
and saw a basket full of goodies. He was so happy. It doesn't say from whom it came from, but it sure was from someone who wanted to share joy and happiness on that special day. Last Christmas Day (2010) my son also got a bag of goodies with a little card saying "from Santa's Helper." I didn't know how to contact them to say thanks so I thought of writing The Morning Star this time. Maybe you would have a little space in your community section, enough to include my sincere "thanks". These simple acts of sharing cannot be left unnoticed and unrecognized. They always bring a big smile to my son's face and to our whole family. Have a good day and thanks a lot for reading this. God bless! Mt. Begbie Drive resident PRIORITY PROBLEM I am an old-fashioned conservative. When I read in The Morning Star about nine defeated or retiring politicians getting $18.6 million in pension benefits and then I ponder a later article telling us that the Vernon Women's Centre has permanently closed its doors, it is too much. This centre, it's estimated,
would cost $15,000 to $20,000 annually to help those less advantaged. I am disgusted! What a revolting set of priorities! Frankly, I know where I would like to see my tax dollars go...and it ain't on political pensions. Bob Brown

All-star defenceman joins banquet Morning Star Staff
Arguably, he had one of the best NHL playoff beards in the 2011 post-season. He is a finalist for the NHL’s Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenceman, and he is, arguably, a frontrunner to be Captain Canada for Team Canada’s entry at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Shea Weber, a native of Sicamous and captain of the NHL’s Nashville Predators, has joined the lineup for the AllStar Sports Banquet in support of Special Olympics Charity Golf Spectacular. The banquet will take place on Friday, June 17, at the Temptasian Restaurant starting at 6 p.m., and happens in the midst of the Special Olympics Charity Golf Spectacular, slated for June 17-19 at the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club’s executive course. An Olympic gold medallist and NHL all-star, Weber will join Vernon-born fellow teammate Jerred Smithson, Edmonton Oilers head coach Tom Renney, longtime NHL scout Ernie Gare and former NHL star and hockey commentator Howie Meeker at the banquet. Meeker was recently recognized with the Order of Canada, and predicted the Vancouver Canucks will beat the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup final.

News Cherryville Days set to celebrate Morning Star Staff
Get your hat and cowboy boots on, and get ready to kick up your heels at the Down Home Country Cherryville Days. The 48th annual event is packed full of familyfun events taking place Friday through Sunday in Cherryville, all under the Down Home Country theme. “It’s a very community-minded event,” said chairperson Toby Marsh, adding that there is lots for the kids but something for everyone. One highlight of the weekend is Cherryville’s (in)famous and hilarious outhouse races – which were started years ago as a bet between two guys and have since become a staple of the festival. The races spill through Hanson Park Saturday afternoon. “More racers equals more laughs, and more fun for all. Show us your imagination and your sense of humour. Start building today,” said Twin Crapper 88 team eader, Wayne Cunneyworth. Saturday also features the Cherryville Days parade, which will line up at the Emporium at 11:30 a.m. before taking off at noon. Parade categories are: best individual, best business, best theme and most original. A returning highlight this year is the Miss Cherryville Pageant, with the help of emcee extraordinaire, Madame Colette Bosch. Community-minded girls between the ages of five to 18 will make their presentations on the Hanson Park stage Saturday afternoon. Miss Cherryville and Little Miss Cherryville will be crowned on Sunday. “I brought that back last year, it hadn’t been done for 34 years,” said Marsh. “The girls really like it.” Over the weekend there are two opportunities for residents and visitors to get a little footloose. The family dance kicks off the festivities Friday at the Cherryville Community Hall from 6 to 8 p.m. Dress up in your best down home, country costumes and enjoy this all-ages dance. Admission is by donation. Popular local band, Crossfire, is confirmed to play the Saturday night adult dance. Tickets are $15 and available at Frank’s Store and The Emporium. There will be a pancake breakfast in Hanson Park both mornings of the weekend. Other fun activities include an Iron Chef Camp Cook-Off Competition – a new addition to the festivities. Teams will be given a campfire, table, knife, fork, spoon, bowl, cast-iron frying pan, and some secret ingredients, and 40 minutes to make a meal. Pre-registration is required by contacting Chelsea Bennett at 250-547-9308. Anyone wanting to try their luck at beating the girls should be at the horseshoe pit at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. Bandstand entertainment on Saturday afternoon will feature Ross Marshall’s band, A.S.H. “Most people don’t know that this stands for ‘Acoustic Silver Hills Band’,” said Ross. The Silver Hills Band was around years ago and was very popular and has been sadly missed. Fans will be very happy to see the talented Ross Marshall back in action with Dick Markin and Gerry Brunelle, as A.S.H. Sunday’s line-up will include the Cherryville Gospel Church Band, and local Lumby-Cherryville band, Gallon’s Corner, which was a recent winner at the Our Kids Have Talent competition in Vernon. Cherryville Days 2011 will also have a bake contest, kids’ colouring competition, goodie concession, kids zone, tea garden, beer garden, Sunday community dinner, and the Cherryville Farmers Market, which will be down in Hanson Park for the weekend.

Kinship brother performs solo at Relay for Life KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Kelowna musician Calum Hughes has a new album out that should resonate with those participating in this weekend’s Relay for Life at Polson Park. Two of the songs, And That’s OK With Me, the title track off his new CD, and If I Sing Loud Enough, are both empowering and emotional rock ballads which Hughes recently performed at the Independent Canadian Music Showcase at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre. And they will be some of the tunes he performs when he kicks off the night of entertainment at the Canadian Cancer Society event. Approximately 50 teams, and more than 500 people, will be walking, jogging and dancing their way around Polson Park’s track for 12 hours, with musicians, entertainers and activities to help them keep going. As the fiddler and primary songwriter with well-known Kelowna Celtic band Kinship, which also features his brothers, Frank and Andrew, Hughes has been breaking out on his own for a while now. “Kinship is still going, but we now mostly play for big events like St. Patrick’s Day,” said Hughes, who remembers performing in Vernon with the band at the long defunct Restoration Music Festival, as well as at a big music festival at O’Keefe Ranch in 2000, as well as at a Canada Day event in Polson Park. This is a way for Hughes to give back to the community by volunteering to perform at Relay for Life, however, he also has his personal reasons. “I have a friend who ran in the Kelowna Relay for Life last year. She survived breast cancer,” said Hughes. “I really respect the integrity behind the whole event: people coming together in support of fighting cancer and

That’s why I jumped on board.” With Kinship winning Album of the Year at the 2010 B.C. Interior Music Awards for its third CD, Boneshaker, Hughes has been back in the studio with his guitar to record his debut solo effort, And That’s OK With Me, which also has a local connection. The single, If I Sing Loud Enough, features Vernon-based choir, the Chorealis Music
Ensemble, singing background on the chorus, he said. Three of the album’s songs were recorded at Big Audio Studio at McKinley Landing in Kelowna, and the other tracks were recorded at The Warehouse (the Vancouver recording studio co-owned by Bryan Adams) with award-winning producer Vince Ditrich (also the drummer with Spirit of the West.) Hughes is currently in talks with HMP and
Recording Development Inc. for a development deal. “It’s pretty exciting. There’s a lot happening right now,” he said. “I also have 320 Entertainment, who own a radio station in Pennsylvania, playing my song like crazy down there. They will be hosting an event for juvenile diabetes, and they are planning to fly us down there for it.” Hughes has also been invited to partake in the upcoming Nashville Songwriting Festival. However, he is first gearing up to take the Relay for Life stage Saturday at 6:10 p.m. to kick off the night’s musical entertainment. Hughes will be donating 50 per cent of the sales of his CD, as well as any merchandise, from the night to the Canadian Cancer Society. (More information is available at www. calumhughes.ca or check out his Facebook page at facebook.com/calumhughesmusic). The Relay for Life starts at 6 p.m. Saturday with the victory lap featuring cancer survivors led by the Trinity Drummers. Also performing will be singer Leah West (this year’s People Choice winner at the B.C. Interior Music Awards) at 7:30 p.m., guitarist Tom Stinson at 8:20 p.m., and singers Tanya Lipscomb, Sherie Erickson and Kailee Duggan, who will take the stage at 9 p.m. before the luminaries are lit around the track at 9:45. Taking the stage at 10 p.m. will be guitarist Dave Anthony, followed by singer-songwriter Raquel Warchol at 11 p.m. Juno-award winner Jon Buller and his band will perform at midnight, followed by 2010 Our Kids Have Talent top 10 finalist Jeff Piatelli, and local bands Disengaged and Know Tomorrow performing in the wee hours of the morning Sunday. More information on the event is available at www.relayforlife.ca.
Hikers served artistic trail mix along the Grey Canal Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon’s Grey Canal Trail is often the sight of local flora and fauna, and on Saturday it will be the sight of an even more visual display. In celebration of International Trails Day, the Regional District of the North Okanagan is going a kilometre further by offering the Artistic Trail Mix. Those hiking the trail between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. can stop to watch a number of local artists as they practise their craft. They are also welcome to engage the artists in conversation about what they find
artistically inspiring along the trail. “There will be a real mix of writers, visual artists, musicians, artistic experiences and environmental art,” said Tannis Nelson, RDNO community development coordinator. “Hikers can choose what they want to see and experience as a way of creating their own artistic trail mix.” Gabriel Newman, who is the creator of the Ghost Tours of Vernon and recently created the interactive community project, the Social Potluck, where locals gather to share stories over dinner, is coordinating an interactive display
called the Trail Mix Experience at Saturday’s event. “Trails day was a great excuse to bring artists and hikers together to share an experience. Nature is so much more than just postcards,” said Newman, who created the event because he wanted to have artistic interpreters along the trail. “I love nature interpreters but I was wondering what would happen if a group of artists interpreted the trail. What would they see? What would interest them? Artists see differently sometimes and often differently than each other so I am
fascinated to see what they find.” The Trail Mix Experience will comprise of small tables set up along the trail, with each having a typical item of what would go into a trail mix. The items will be provided by fruit and nut importers Rancho Vignola. “Rancho Vignola really is the trail leader in Vernon and I am delighted they could support this project. It is fitting,” said Newman. The hikers will be given an empty bag at the beginning of the hike, and if they want something like smoked
almonds at the table, they will have to perform an act such as introducing themselves to another hiker or telling them about a trail they like to hike, or something artistic such as pointing out an item of beauty. “These really are social acts and a fun way to share what can be a private experience or to notice something that you may not have noticed before,” said Newman. “The event isn’t about an end product but rather about process and inspiration.” More information on other Greater Vernon Trails Day activities can be found at www.rdno.ca.

Shrine to Vernon grows with community’s help New installation celebrates Vertigo’s 10th anniversary Morning Star Staff
A shine to Vernon has sprouted with the new art installation by Vancouver’s Nhan Duc Nguyen, opening at Gallery Vertigo Saturday. To construct the piece, Nguyen collected audio and texts from local residents for the inclusion to his Shrine to Literature: In Vernon Another Tree Grows. The installation is process based and is built from locally-sourced materials, and celebrates Vertigo’s 10-year anniversary. One component, an audio playback of answers from participants of their names, birthplaces, and length of residencies in current locations, plus a “happy 10th anniversary Vertigo� message, is a playful take on Canada’s recent nationwide census, said Vertigo’s curator/director Judith Jurica. “(Nguyen) compares his process to that of a cook looking for ingredients to construct a dinner, or to a dressmaker dressing a client. Like those activities, he searches out and assembles materials with a general sense of taste and view in mind towards the diners and the client,� she said. For the Vernon shrine, Nguyen added slivers of text from books, comprised with bits of conversations
gleaned from email exchanges and audio recordings, as well as a published haiku sent in by a local author, Vernon-based news from official sources such as The Morning Star, web-based content, writing sent to past Shrines to Literature, and his own script. “Often, materials collected from Nguyen’s past Shrines to Literature are reworked to create independent art works as well as for incorporation into future installations,� said Jurica. The artist also incorporated mirror writings (on art paper and stickynotes added directly to the wall) consisting of transposed questions printed in reverse, with mirrors provided for reading. “Candles, incense, flowers and other accoutrements of traditional shrines are also a part of the riot of information and colour that invites the viewer to move in close,� said Jurica. The shrine also invites more stories to be added on as time goes by, she added. Also on exhibition at Vertigo for the month of June is Shauna Oddleifson’s the other side, a series of collaged works featuring the musings of a badly behaved child, and Portia Priegert’s Embedded on the featured NOAA member’s wall. Saturday’s opening reception is from 7 to 9 p.m. Live music will be provided by Mikhal Waters. All exhibitions run until July 16. Vertigo is located upstairs at #1-3001 31st St. in downtown Vernon.

Lucy and the Lucky Four’s Nathan Marcetta, left, Levi Glass, Liam Tyner and Shane Coates play some new material off their upcoming album at Lorenzo’s Café this weekend.
Lucy fans get lucky with new album Morning Star Staff
For those who have been wondering what’s happened to Armstrong’s buzz-worthy band Lucy and the Lucky Four, well “she” has been locked up in the studio lately. The four-piece unit, known for tight grooves, improvisation, and love of ‘60s vinyl, has just emerged with its first fulllength album recorded with Toniktone Music Production (Aaron Anderson and Erik Swanson). The 12-track CD
is due to be released this summer, and is fertile with diverse sounds spanning funk, psychedelic rock, blues, punk, country, pop, reggae and folk, said Lucy’s guitarist Liam Tyner. Besides Tyner’s ‘60s flavoured Stratocaster licks, the album features drummer Nathan Marcetta’s back beat rhythms and Levi Glass’ thick, fretless bass lines, added to Shane Coates’ deep, sultry vocals. “We recorded it in Erik’s home studio in Kamloops during the first week of Spring
Break. Aaron and Eric were great to work with; really creative, talented guys with reservoirs of experience, not to mention their impeccable ear for detail,” said Tyner. “This record really branches off in a lot of directions from the sound of our previous E.P. “We’ve been experimenting with an abundance of different musical ideas leading us to create a more eclectic group of songs and sounds on the album.” Those wanting a preview of the songs
can catch Lucy and the Lucky Four when they play in Ashton Creek at Lorenzo’s Café Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Call the café at 250838-6700 to reserve a seat.

Buyer’s market for recreation Morning Star Staff
According to Royal LePage’s Recreational Property Report, the majority of Canadians (89 per cent) surveyed believe that buying a vacation home is a good investment. Meanwhile in Vernon, the majority of people buying into the recreational market are doing so more for personal pleasure than investment. Located in the Okanagan Valley and surrounded by three lakes, hundreds of small fishing lakes, world reknowned golf courses and Silver Star Mountain Resort, there is no shortage of activity in Vernon. Surrounded by majestic beauty, the City of Vernon also provides all the amenities of a major city. “When Vernon’s recreational property market was at its peak, it was due in large part to investment from wealthy Albertans,” said Riley Twyford, broker/ owner, Royal LePage Downtown Realty in Vernon. “Currently, inventory and prices have leaned more towards a buyer’s market and there is opportunity for those looking to get good value.” Inland properties in the Mara Lake, Silver Star Mountain Resort and Predator Ridge Resort areas range between $199,000 $450,000, while waterfront properties are significantly higher with prices starting at $980,000. “The majority of people buying into the recreational property market right now are doing so for personal use as opposed to an investment,” said Twyford. “The area has also seen

A real estate survey shows people from Vernon are buying into the recreational market for pleasure rather than as an investment. a drastic demographic shift with more baby boomers and emptynesters moving in.” Although Vernon is still very much a buyer’s market, “prospective buyers need to do their homework and take into consideration the cost of ownership,” advises Twyford. An overwhelming majority of Canadians who have either purchased or who intend to buy recreational property in the next 24 months believe that buying a vacation home is a good long-term investment, according to the nationwide survey of Canadian attitudes towards recreational property ownership commissioned by Royal LePage Real Estate Services and run on the Angus Reid Forum. Overall, the survey found that 89 per cent of current owners and prospective buyers agree that recreational properties are a good long-term investment. Broken down by region, this included 92 per cent of respondents from Alberta, 91 per cent of Ontarians, 87 per cent of B.C. residents and 81 per cent of people sur-
veyed in Quebec. “Canadians’ confidence in recreational property values is mirroring what we have been seeing in Canada’s urban centres,” said Phil Soper, president and chief executive, Royal LePage Real Estate Services. “This spring, the horror stories from some fundamentally flawed international housing markets that had dampened demand for cottage-type living during the recession era, are being shrugged off. Canada’s traditionally buoyant recreational property market appears to have found its groove once more.” Interestingly, a majority of respondents (57 per cent) said that the expectation of interest rates

rising will not affect their desire to purchase a recreational property. Among this group, 55 per cent of respondents aged 35-54 (and 70 per cent of respondents aged 55+) said an expected rise in interest rates would not affect their desire to purchase a recreational property. When it came to financial and lifestyle sacrifices to purchase a recreational property, more than a third polled (35 per cent) responded that they were most likely to reduce personal spending throughout the year. The two least favoured strategies were to drive as far as necessary and to make the recreational property a primary residence, both 13 per cent. According to respondents from B.C., the most important features of a recreational property are four-season use and quiet (tied at 43 per cent) and proximity to amenities and rental potential (tied at 31 per cent). Eighty-five per cent of respondents from B.C. either somewhat agree or strongly agree that a recreational property is a great way to bring family together (seven per cent below the national average of 92 per cent and lowest in the country).

Popular festival set to shine on downtown Vernon Morning Star Staff
The sun is ready to shine in downtown Vernon. The 17th annual Sunshine Festival takes place June 18 on 30th Avenue. “Downtown Vernon truly comes alive with block after block of outstanding bargains, entertainment, children’s activities, outside street cafes, art and cultural performances and so much more,” said Holly Schmidt, events co-ordinator with the Downtown Vernon Association. “We are excited to bring some of the favourites back while also adding some new activities.” The event will feature many vendors for the sidewalk sale, including many downtown businesses. There will also be three entertainment stages once again this year, including the main stage, the arts and entertainment stage and the Wentworth Music Education Centre stage. The children’s activities range from bouncy hous-
es and face painting to an inflatable obstacle course, pony rides and a climbing wall. “We are also excited to be working with the Volunteer Bureau to have a dunk tank, which is always a lot of fun,” said Schmidt. While the planning is fully underway, the DVA is still looking for volunteers to help out on the day of the event. “There are a number of different opportunities available including early morning shifts, day-time shifts and evening shifts,” said Schmidt. “Volunteers always have a ton of fun and really get to feel the community excitement through their volunteer commitment.” The DVA is also always interested in hearing from various entertainment groups interested in performing at the Sunshine Festival. “We provide various groups such as school choirs, martial arts groups, dance groups, children’s

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When asked, be of assistance to persons who need your help. However, do so without seeking any praise or attention for your efforts, simply out of the kindness of your heart. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although your sphere of influence might not extend beyond your close friends and family, it will be considerable when you choose to use it. However, take care not to abuse it in any way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Either by being challenged through competition or from intense inner motivation, your desire to win will be far stronger than usual. Use it at the right time and for the right purpose. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) In order to find a solution to a present dilemma that has you in a dither, draw upon a similar past experience as to how to handle it wisely and well. You’ll now know what works for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Be a joiner if you can, because your biggest opportunities will come through involvements you have with others instead of what you can do on your own. It’ll pay to be friendly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) The small points can be some of the most important ones to study when signing a new agreement. If they are in order, usually the connection will last a very long time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Everyone knows how good you are at handling many situations simultaneously when you have to. Once
again, you might show the world how to juggle several balls at one time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Your custodial instincts are extremely pronounced, and you’ll be careful when putting anything important together. Your actions will be designed to protect those for whom you’re responsible. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t waste your time on situations or projects that are of no or little importance. You’re in a time period in which you can complete complicated situations or issues to your satisfaction.

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 Here is a deal from a social game. Look first at the North hand. He opens one club and partner responds one spade. What should North rebid? After you have decided, peek at the South hand also. You are in four spades. West leads a low diamond. What would be your line of play? There is no “perfect” rebid with that North hand. But the best is two no-trump. The hand is too strong for three clubs, and a jump to three spades (which was chosen at the table) ought to deliver a fourth trump. Over two no-trump, you would rebid three hearts, and North would continue with three spades
to show his three-card support. Then you, having described 5-4 in the majors, should bid three no-trump, strongly suggesting 5-42-2 (or maybe 5-4-3-1) distribution with weak spades. North would correct to four spades. The right line in four spades seems to be to take the first trick with the diamond ace, cash the king-queen of hearts, and call for a low club. If West has the ace and takes your king with it, then cashes a high diamond before returning a club, win that in the dummy and guess how to continue. Here, though, East rushes in with the club ace, cashes the diamond queen, and exits with a club to your
king. How should you play the spades? If East gets in and can lead the last club, you might suffer an overruff by West. To try to keep East off lead, play a spade to dummy’s queen. Here, that finesse works and you lose only one spade, one diamond and one club.

Vernon United U13 in the running for funding Morning Star Staff
A local soccer team is in the running to win $125,000 for Vernon. BMO – the bank of soccer in Canada – has kicked off a brand new soccer program for youth teams from coast to coast. Vernon United U13 has already been nominated for the contest, called The Team of the Week, which is open to young soccer players across the country. The contest will award 15 youth teams and give them the chance to win the grand prize which includes $125,000 to refurbish their community soccer pitch. Until the end of July, 15 weekly winners will be announced and will receive $500, track suits and a donation to a local charity. Each of the winning teams will become finalists for the grand prize and all Canadians will be able to vote for their favourite team starting Aug. 1 at BMOsoccer.com. The BMO Team of the Week 2011 Champion will receive a $125,000 field refurbishment, a trip to see a Toronto FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC home game and $5,000 to their chosen charity. “BMO Team of the Week recognizes teams coast to coast for their achievements both on and off the field,� said Sandy Bourne, vicepresident, sponsorships, BMO Financial Group. “BMO is committed to making a difference in the communities in which we work and live. We are dedicated to supporting ‘The Beautiful Game’ and growing the soccer stars of tomorrow, through our spon-
sorship of over 10,000 young players from over 700 teams across the country. “Soccer has long
been the beloved sport of so many countries around the world, and is reaching new levels in Canada at both the
accessible and affordable sports in the world, with an increasing participation rate among Canadians.�
BMO also released the results of a new survey that found soccer is the most popular youth sport in Canada.
In B.C., the number of soccer players is triple that of hockey players (33 per cent vs. 11 per cent).

Shamrocks bite back at Venom
COUPON PULL-OUT
B-section Pgs 13-16
Morning Star Staff
Back-to-back wins have the Armstrong Shamrocks entrenched in second place in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League standings. Following a 9-3 Thursday-night win over the Vernon Tigers, the baby Rocks opened a three-game home stand Saturday with a 6-1 win over the defending league champion Kamloops Venom 6-1 at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Playing lock-down defence in front of Quinn Braybrook, the Shamrocks opened the scoring when Cullen Rowen cut to the front of the net and buried a shot low for the first of his two goals. Owen Barker sniped a powerplay goal for the Rocks (4-3-1), who then killed off two minor penalties to Brandon McGregor and a four-minute backchecking penalty to Brad Wolgram to lead 2-0 after the first period. Shamrocks’ bench boss and newly anointed grandfather, Pat Nelson, was beaming after Armstrong’s first home victory of the year. “We played three outstanding periods of lacrosse tonight and the boys were rewarded with a very well-earned win,� said Nelson. “We are really coming together as a team and with our skill level, team commitment and attitude we have all the pieces to be successful. I just couldn’t be happier with the way we played tonight.� Rowan fired a top-corner shot over the Venom goalie’s right shoulder to open the second period assault, and Brett Hawrys posted the first of his two on the night, sliding into the open space and finding the back of the net. Kamloops’ Jake Latin scored midway through the period to make it 4-1 after 40 minutes. The Rocks closed out the game by shutting down the Venom (2-5-1) sniping trio of Ben Saklofsky, Blaine Boomer and Riley Donahue, who could not overcome the Shamrocks’ tight zone defence or the quick sticks of their short man unit, led by Carston Schlaak and Willy Hanley. With the Venom goaltender pulled, an errant Kamloops shot bounced back towards the Venom net and rested in the mesh for an empty-net goal, credited to Hawrys. Armstrong defensive coordinator Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell was pleased with the team defence. “Our dee guys were checking hard and playing position and really challenging their shooters, and the transition guys hustled back and they all worked as a defensive unit to help out Quinn,� said Mitchell. “We left them with almost all outside shots that Quinn was able to see and if we did make a mistake defensively, Quinn stood tall in the pipes and made the stop. That’s all we ask for,� chuckled Mitchell. Despite scoring just six goals, offensive coordinator Jim

Armstrong Shamrocks’ captain Milan Marcetta leans into Kamloops Venom’s defender Kyle Gunn in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. (Myth) Maundrell praised his attackers. “We had a lot of shots on goal tonight and their goalie played really well to stop some of our shooters but we were moving on offence, hustling for loose balls after shots and really using our run-and-gun system to keep their defence off balance,� said Maundrell. “We still have some work to do with our powerplay unit but we have a lot of rookies and it takes a while to build chemistry with a special teams unit. I’m confident that we will build and get better as the season progresses.� The Shamrocks continue their home stand tonight (7:30) with their first season meeting with the Kamloops Rattlers at the Nor-Val. Then the baby Shamrocks will team up with the senior Rocks for Lacrosse Night in Lacrosseville, an annual doubleheader extravaganza with the Vernon Tiger teams. The junior squads will battle at 6 p.m., followed immediately by the senior teams, roughly 8 p.m. The teams will be promoting the Kraft Celebration Tour contest with a pre-game barbecue at the Rotary Plaza in support of the TSN and Kraft Foods 10 in 10 promotional con-

test with the hopes of winning a $25,000 renovation grant for the Hassen Memorial Arena and a live TSN Sportcentre broadcast from their community. Meanwhile, the Vernon Re/Max Tigers’ offence sputtered after a solid start in a 7-3 loss to the host Rattlers at McArthur Island Sports Complex. Riley Soleway, Craig Bigsby and rookie Darrell Landels handled Vernon’s attack. “We generated three goals in the first period, but were blanked in the second and third,� said assistant coach Dave McWhirter. “We’re not getting enough offence to match our solid defence,� he added. McWhirter said a heavy veteran turnover and influx of first-year players have the Tigers still trying to adjust this season. “We’re still trying to find our identity, and we’re still trying to get all facets under control,� he said. “It’s not a lack of effort, but sometimes we’re breaking down mentally. Sometimes a team will go on a run and we’re not able to match it.�

Q: A:
What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis slows down brain waves, taking you past your conscious and critical mind. It allows access to the subconscious mind and thus allows the Clinical Hypnotherapist to help with things like fears, phobias, smoking cessation, pain control, surgical anxiety, dental anxiety, stress relief, and much more. Clients will never do anything while under hypnosis that they would not do in their normal life, and they will not share information that they would not normally share.

QR Codes are those 2-dimensional barcodes that have been popping up throughout the Okanagan (notably in the real estate industry). From our customers we’ve found that they’ve been predominantly been used by the female 20–50 demographic, however this largely depends on how you’re using the code and who you’re targeting as part of your marketing campaign. Here are some interesting facts from Jumpscan about the QR Invasion: • 52% of mobile users have heard or seen QR Codes; 28% have scanned one • Scanned mostly by iPhone users at 68% • 57% of Facebook & Twitter users have scanned at least one within the past year Check out some more stats on our facebook page link by scanning the code below

Q: A:
I want to update a few rooms in my home with new furniture, appliances, and mattresses. Are there payment plans available?
There are many payment plans that you can take advantage of. You can finance from 3 months all the way up to 2 years, with equal payment plans, or do not pay plans. The process is actually quite simple and only requires you to fill out an application form which is processed in as quickly as 5 minutes! Once approved, you can choose the appropriate finance plan that best suits your needs. Make sure to ask about the details of the finance plan you decide to go with. Furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics can all be financed. So the timing has never been better to buy the furniture you’ve always wanted, or those new appliances that you’ve been dreaming of, or a new mattress to guarantee a good night sleep!

Q: A:
How can I tell the difference from one company to the next as far a quality goes?
Unfortunately you cannot test drive a kitchen or try it on and walk around prior to purchasing so finding the difference in quality to the first time inexperienced buyer is not that easy and it does takes a keen eye to note the differences. First thing I would suggest is to knock on the back centre of the cabinet to determine if it is a solid 5/8 back or just the flimsy 1/8 hardboard. This is key to cabinet construction, strength and trueness to remaining square. Make sure the interior is good quality 5/8 melamine and not white vinyl typical to the low end knock down cabinets. Finished side panels and moldings should be same finish as the doors and not melamine or vinyl wrapped. Door and drawer hardware should be of European origin and not off shore knock offs. Last but not least take a door and angle it towards a bright light to see the quality of the finish. There should be no traces of dust, contaminants or imperfections in the finish whatsoever. There are many more items to test quality that space here unfortunately does not allow for.

Where do you start to organize your documents?
It begins by making a decision and sorting into piles for current, reference, historical, recycle or to shred your documents. Begin by going thru your documents and divide into two separate piles. One pile will be for items to recycle and the other pile to shred. Recycle items are your generic documents for example magazines, newspapers, advertisement vouchers, anything that does not include contact or confidential information that is visibly printed. Shred are documents that shows contact information, financial statements, anything printed you deem as confidential and should not be viewed.

I have a problem reading putts any tips?
Putting is the most probably the most important of the game of golf and the easiest way to save you strokes in any given round. I mentioned developing a pre-shot routine in a previous article for the full swing and by creating a pre-shot routine for putting it will help eliminate any negative thoughts and will assist you in becoming a better putter. I would also like you to try to picking a spot a few inches in front of your ball when you read the putt and focus on rolling the ball over that spot when you putt. It is so much easier to hit a spot a few inches in front of the ball than it is to pick a target near the hole on a 45 foot putt. Here is my pre-shot routine: • Read the putt and determine the line you want the ball to roll on • Visualize the putt • Pick your spot a few inches in front of your ball to roll over • Take a couple of practice strokes • Take one last look at your spot • Take a deep breath and exhale • Hit your putt Please drop by the shop for more expert advice on putting.

I’ve heard a lot about protein lately. Is it as important as they say?
Share your expertise
Yes.
Did you know that there is evidence that consuming 25 to 30 grams of protein per meal helps to maximize muscle building, and that’s even without the added benefits of exercise. The goal is to get at the very least 20 grams of protein at every meal. Lesser amounts than that actually blunt protein synthesis for those who are older than 50, which can lead to wasted muscles (sarcopenia). And for those of us who exercise, protein is critical in developing muscles... without protein, results are minimal. So, if you want to see results for all the hard work you do, especially in strength training, get in the habit of meeting the minimum protein that your body demands.

After the referee showed up half an hour late, the Tigers, who fell to 2-3, got off to a slow start and trailed 3-0 at the first intermission. “We were sleeping in the first, but we didn’t let our old legs show too much,” said Vernon assistant coach Steve Latimer, who suited up to give Vernon 12 runners. “Bodies makes the difference; when you’re running with 12 guys, you can’t work your systems.” Latimer credited netminder Glen Clissold (47 saves) for keeping Vernon in the game, and noted the Tiger’s shot man for stuffing numerous Kamloops powerplay attempts. Shane Sargent, with a pair of third-period goals, and Kirk Krause, with a single in the second, handled Vernon’s offence. AJ Lockwood, a former Armstrong Shamrock, led Kamloops, now tied with Vernon at 2-3, with 3+1. Said Latimer: “We spent most of the night making their goalie look good. If a team only scores six goals on you, you should win that game.” Latimer is expecting more runners to return for Friday night’s showdown against the host Shamrocks at Nor-Val Sports Centre. They are playing the second fixture of the annual Lacrosse Night in Lacrosseville doubleheader. “Armstrong is a tough team and we have to be tougher. We’ve got the skills and some good hustle on this team,” he said.

Fulton Maroons' Cody Hounslow is taken down by an OKM Husky during provincial rugby playoff action Saturday at the Kamloops Rugby Fields. The Maroons won 35-7 to advance to the quarterfinals today in Abbotsford.
Maroons mop up Huskies Morning Star Staff
The Fulton Maroons defeated the Okanagan Mission Huskies 35-7 in the first round of the B.C. Senior AA Boys Rugby Championships Saturday afternoon in Kamloops. Kris Davidson, returning for his first game since a hamstring injury early in the season, led the Maroons with five tries, while Jesse Griffin and Dalton Anderson made a contribution with the remaining 10 points. Fulton led 20-7 at the break. There were a few injuries that called for a player from each team to be substituted off. The Maroons earned another 15 points in the second half.
The Maroons went into provincials ranked fifth and will face the fourthranked Rick Hansen Hurricanes of Abbotsford in the quarterfinals this morning in Abbotsford. The remaining games to determine provincial placing go Thursday and Saturday. “Although it was a good win, the boys must be well rested and well concentrated for the games we have ahead of us,” said Fulton coach Rick Smith. Fulton is guaranteed to be in the top eight, but that will not be good enough for the Maroons. “We are gunning for the top four,” said Smith. “We have played Hansen in
Abbotsford and had a 10-point deficit but were missing four starters.” The No. 9 Kalamalka Lakers bowed 23-5 to No. 8 Aldergrove Community Totems Saturday in Kamloops. The Lakers go up against the No. 16 L.V. Rogers Bombers of Nelson in a placing game this morning in Abbotsford. Hayden Jones scored Kal’s try on a 60-metre run off a well-worked back play, beating the opposite winger and covering fullback to score in the corner. Aldergrove kept possession for a large majority of the game and their fly half, Connor Hunter, kept the Lakers at bay with well-placed clearing kicks when Kal pushed deep into the Totems’ end.
Draw preserves Stars’ streak Morning Star Staff
The Silver Stars stretched their unbeaten streak to seven games by drawing 2-2 with Pushor Mitchell Advocates in Okanagan Oldtimers 45+ Soccer League action Monday night at the Kelowna Quarry Park. The Advocates (3-3) took an early lead with a speculative, long-distance, lob/ cross from their right, wind-assisted, in the 10th minute. They got their second goal with 12 minutes remaining. In between, the game was quite even and good natured. The Stars barely threatened the Pushor Mitchell goal, looked vulnerable at times, and were perhaps fortunate to be awarded a penalty kick that was neatly put away by Rick Danyluk with a few minutes left in the game. Another rare foray into the Pushor Mitchell penalty area saw the ball come off the keepers’ body, onto a Stars’ head and to the feet of poacher Mark DeVolder
for the equalizer. The Stars improved to 5-0-2. The Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels tied the North Country Appraisals Kickers 1-1 in Rutland. North Country grabbed the lead when Ken Wither beat Dave Dutcher on a penalty shot after last man back John Gardner got a red card for taking down Fritz Beryl in the 25th minute. The Camels equalized when Al Murphy picked off an errant pass by Kent Molgat. Murphy and Mike Daly shared the Wendy’s Man of the Match for the Humpbacks (6-1). The Kickers are 5-1-1. Towering striker Mark Wasylyk scored twice as the Big O Tire Ogopogos clipped the Kelowna Rented Mules 3-2 at Marshall #1. Big O went up 1-0 when Wasylyk put a low shot in the corner. The Mules tied it up on a mishap in front of keeper Yogi Kongsdorf when Kongsdorf made
a great breakaway save but the ball sat on the goal line for a touch in by Fred Vandergang. Big O tallied twice in the second half with Henry Czerwonka burying a corker top shelf from outside the 18, and another breakaway goal by Wasylyk which was set up on a nice four-way passing play starting from the 3-4 Big O net. Andreas Deitrich replied late for the 0-4-2 Mules under crossbar from the 18-yard line. Kelowna IGA grounded the Okanagan Spring Brewery 5-1 at Marshall Field #3, while Salmon Arm shut down Kelowna Cantina’s Pub 5-0. In 35+ league action, Vernon Toyota lost 3-0 to Fountain Tire of Kelowna at Mission Sports Centre. Toyota played the entire game without any substitutions and several players had to play through injuries just to field a full squad. Toyota dropped to 4-3.

Vernon Meteors’ catcher Mitchell Lukacs tags out Summerland's Taylor Ledoux in Bantam minor baseball action Saturday at Marshall Field.
Meteors sweep Saturday Morning Star Staff
The Johnston Meier Meteors kept their winning streak alive by sweeping a Bantam baseball doubleheader Saturday at Marshall Field. The Meteors grounded Summerland 13-7 in an early-morning game and then stopped the all-girls Okanagan Halos 12-7 in the afternoon. In Game 1, Vernon needed just four batters to score the first four runs, with Shelby Hartwig’s inning ending two-run triple jumpstarting the offence. The hits kept coming as Brayden Damini and Hartwig both went 3-for-3 bringing in a total of five ribbies and Jon McIntyre went 2-for-2. The Meteors then found some tough competition from the Halos and Damini went 2-for-2 with a walk, two stolen bases and two RBI, and McIntyre was 1-for-1 with two walks, three stolen bases and
two ribbies. Hartwig swung a heavy bat again, batting a thousand and adding another inside-the-park home run to his already impressive stats. McIntyre and Mitchell Lukacs took to the mound and racked up a combined 10 strikeouts and only giving up eight hits. The Johnston Motors boys got great defence from Kyle Dennis, Jordy Griffiths and Lucas Colgan and great offence from Jacob O’Quinn, Frankie Gettis and Taylor Elliot. The Johnston Meier Meteors, with only a 10man roster, continued their incredible season by heading to Salmon Arm Tuesday. All teammates and their parents send their love, support and well wishes to their beloved hospitalized teammate Ryan Wiebe, and await for his healthy return to the game he loves.

Jake Pelletier, Brett Olsen and Conor Webb each counted 2+1, while Jayden Hunter also scored twice. Shelby Connors and Chase Bronson each pocketed 1+2, while James Francis had one goal and goaltender Jakob Schweb chipped in with an assist.

United girls sparkle Morning Star Staff
Vernon United Under 12 girls soccer teams enjoyed success Sunday in Penticton. Vernon United #1 shut down Shuswap 5-0 and then did likewise to Penticton in Rep Development action at Kings Park. Goals versus Shuswap came from Andie Kaneda (from Abbey Hughes), Cayleigh Graham, with two, (one unassisted and one from Kendra Ostafie), April Fletcher, and Makenna Southam. In their shutout win over Penticton, Graham supplied a pair (one from Fletcher, one from Ostafie), while singles came from Jamie Granges, and Fletcher from Ostafie. Caleb Pope and Ostafie split both games in net. Vernon United #2 earned a 2-2 draw with Penticton #1 and then battled Penticton #2 to a scoreless tie. Lexi Jones, assisted by Lauren Bilodeau, and Emma Nesbitt, from Alex Drury, accounted for United’s offence in their opener. Sam Head was stellar in goal. Head and Drury were both on top of their game in sharing the second game shutout. In U14 Rep girls action, Vernon United shut down Kelowna United 2-0 Sunday. Vernon opened the scoring when A.J. Jacura neatly found Jordan Korol, who struck a left-footed shot in the first half. In the second half, Vernon added insurance when Teigan Moore buried a left-footed strike after Jacura and Korol moved the ball around. Vernon United U18 girls suffered a 2-0 defeat to Penticton Pinnacles on Sunday at Marshall field. Penticton started strong and hit the crossbar and goalpost in the opening 10 minutes. An unfortunate deflection off of defender Cayla Brown gave Penticton the lead with seven minutes left in the opening half. Dayna Epp received a red card for tripping a Penticton player in the last minute, leaving United shorthanded for the second half. United came out stronger in the second half but eventually wilted under the Penticton pressure. Vernon goalie Cassandra Otto, who was the player of the match, kept her team in the game with huge saves. The Vernon United U14 boys brushed off Kelowna United 2-1 in a battle of undefeated teams in the Thompson Okanagan Rep league Sunday at Marshall Field. Kelowna took the early lead at the three-minute mark on a lucky bounce off a Vernon goal kick. Cole Woodliffe tied the game 18 minutes later on a great passing play involving Ryan Killingsworth, Michael Williamson and Zac Kronbauer. Williamson, from Cameron Hitch and Lucas Ross, rounded out the scoring 25 minutes into the second half. Keeper Cole Shoemaker, with several spectacular saves, played another stellar game. Shayne Groeneveld, Chase Larsen and Jason Reich had strong games on defence, and Kody Glinsbockel, Brandon Melbourne and Liam Ross played well at midfield and forward. United – coached by Mike Melbourne – clipped the Penticton Pinnacles 1-0 Saturday at Kings Park. Kronbauer, on a great cross from spitfire Matthew Kreutz, scored 15 minutes into the second half to give Vernon the lead. Penticton moved players forward to try and equalize, but a great save in close by Shoemaker and strong defensive efforts by defenders Isaiah Wenger, Jorden Dewing and Bryce Dyck sealed the victory. The U12 Silver Star Mountain Lions #1 went 1-1 on Sunday in Penticton, downing Salmon Arm 4-2, before losing a 2-1 heartbreaker against Penticton #1. In their first match of the day, the Mountain Lions came out sluggish and went down 1-0 only seven minutes into the first half. However, just one minute into the second half, the Lions awoke from their slumber and Connor Marritt buried a shot from 12 yards out after Matt Kowalski’s initial attempt was blocked. Marritt then returned the favour, setting up Kowalski who let loose a laser, from 10 yards out, that went off the inside of the right post. Jared Quibell then made it 3-1 after collecting a Charis Ondrik cross. Quibell collected the ball just inside the box and beat the Salmon Arm keeper to the right. Just minutes after Salmon Arm made it 3-2, Kowalski got his second after Langdon Kersey sent him into the box with a great pass from the left. Kowalski buried a shot to the right.
Sam Eggert, Peter Hirschkorn and Connor London played solid defence again this week, while Ondrik and Wyatt Carter both played well in net. In their second match, the Lions dominating the entire first half and peppered the Penticton keeper with numerous shots, converting in the 21st minute when Quibell was set up by Marritt. Penticton got two quick goals off goalmouth scrambles for the victory. “The boys played unbelievable soccer, but it was just one of those days. We dominated the entire match, but couldn’t capitalize on our numerous chances,” said Silver Star coach Rolf Hirschkorn. Jason Shaigec, Kenzel Aarts Roman and Reed Cashato were all noted for their strong play in the Vernon midfield. The Silver Star Mountain Lions #2 had great efforts in their games in Penticton, but did not get the results they wanted. They lost 4-2 against Penticton #2 despite holding a 2-1 advantage at the half in their opener. After taking a 2-0 lead on a pair of Malcolm Wiens’ strikes, an own goal allowed Penticton back in the game. “The size disparity was hard for our boys to overcome as Penticton used it to their advantage.” said Lions’ coach Will CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR Wiens. “Christopher Richardson had a Vernon United netminder Candice Lipski holds her ground to prevent a goal from solid game in the midfield.” Penticton Pinnacles Adrienne Penner Sunday during U16 soccer action at Marshall In their second match against Shuswap, great, tireless showings from Miller, Cooper and Purvis. victory again eluded them but they did United #2, coached by Kevin Mitchell, ambushed settle for a 3-3 draw.

An exchange of cultures Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Rotary club was pleased to be one of the host clubs for the 2011 Rotary Group Study Exchange team from Bangladesh Rotary District 3280. Team members Shohid Chowdhury (team leader), Ishrat Jahan Akhond, Ishrat Ismail and Sharif Islam arrived in Kelowna May 1 and spent time with the Rotary Clubs there and in Kamloops before staying in Vernon May 11-16.

Desserts to make ahead
’m amazed at just how quickly my strawberries are growing and with a little sunshine we may be eating them in no time. Home-grown strawberries have a more intense flavour and because we tend to eat them right away, they also are at their peak in nutritional values. In reality, strawberries Cathi Litzenberger are not berries at all, but an aggregate fruit. The name strawberry came about when the plants were first cultivated in straw mulch, in the 1700s. Strawberries are a member of the rose family, have one of the highest antioxident properties of all fruits and are equally as good for their anti-inflammatory abilities. Most important, strawberries are delicious and a favourite fruit in this country. With rhubarb still in season, and strawberries in mind, I wanted to offer a couple of desserts for the family gatherings which undoubtedly will be upon us even before Father’s Day. Both need to be

Spall embraces Special Olympics golfers BRITTA GRETZMACHER Special to The Morning Star
For Dominique and his mother Heidi, golf was a sport that seemed out of reach, a mental game with so many skills for an intellectual disabled teen. But come out to the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club on a Tuesday evening and the Vernon Special Olympics athletes will tell you a different story. “I had no clue that my son would be able to play this sport, he loves it and doesn’t want to stop when the session is done,” said Heidi Borgeaud. Twelve athletes, ranging from age 17 to 55, come out to the driving range and putting green every Tuesday night and prepare themselves for the grand finale this season, the Charity Golf Spectacular, a fundraiser for Special Olympics June 17, 18 and 19. “It is amazing to see those golfers come

spective on life. They lighten up my otherwise stressful day and on my way home I have their smiles in my mind, and a big one on my face!” Golf is a demonstration sport in the Special Olympics national program and is becoming a favourite among the athletes. “We hope that the
Charity Golf Spectacular will open more doors for our team, attracting awareness and more members,” said Karen Truesdale, Special Olympics Vernon golf coordinator, and a Spall club member. “Competing in tournaments is the ultimate goal for all athletes. The sport is pricey and
without the donation of equipment from supporters and lessons from Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club it would not have happened. “The integration as members into this golf community does amazing things for our intellectually disabled athletes. The social aspect of it is priceless.” The fundraising event also includes a banquet dinner on June 17 at Temptasian Restaurant with guest speakers such as Howie Meeker, Tom Renney (Edmonton Oilers’ head coach) and Barry Trotz (Nashville Predators’ head coach).

Scoring garden points Editor’s note: This week, the Communities in Bloom Committee fills in for regular columnist Fred Lyall. low to start, the growing season is finally upon us. If you are like me, you have just finished replacing your roses, which didn’t make it through last winter. Although disappointing, it gave me an opportunity to browse through the varieties of roses at Art Knapp’s and start to visualize what I wanted my garden to be Fred Lyall this year. If you, too, are in this process, check out the 2011 Greater Vernon Landscape and Garden Contest brochure. The contest uses judging criteria, including Overall Design, Use of Plants, Water-Wise and Maintenance and Condition; all of which can help you narrow down your plant list.

August Altwasser March 17th, 1910 – May 28th, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of August Altwasser at the grand age of 101 years. He was fortunate enough to spend his last few days in comfort at the Vernon Hospice House, where he was looked after by a team of very kind, caring and dedicated people. August will be lovingly remembered by his sons, Gerald (Margo), Garry (Lorrie), Jim/Keith (Cheryl); and his daughter, Gail. He will be further missed by eleven grandchildren; seventeen great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; his only surviving sibling, Tina in Germany; numerous family members; many remarkable friends at Saddle Mountain Place; and his beloved cat, Jenny. He was preceded in death by his wife Irene, whom he was married to for 56 years; his eldest son, Ken; and daughter-in-law, Sharon. August was born in Kurgani, Poland and came to Canada in 1927 at the age of 17. He landed at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and traveled on to Saskatchewan where he joined his relatives and worked for a while. He decided to move west, so rode the rails with his ďŹ nal destination being Lumby, B.C. During his lifetime, August owned an orchard in Rutland, cut shingle bolts for shakes in the Lumby area, helped open a pole camp at Sitcome Creek, and logged up Sugar Lake, as well as on his own home place which he purchased on Whitevale Road in 1944. Here he ran a dairy farm for about 35 years. Once the dairy herd was sold, August raised a commercial herd of cattle until 1976, when he retired. He was truly an inspiration to all and led an exemplary life as a husband, father, uncle, and friend. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of August’s Life which will be held on Sunday, June 5th, 2011 from 12:00 Noon to 2:30 P.M. at the Whitevalley Community Centre, 2250 Shields Avenue, Lumby, B.C. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of August to Saddle Mountain Place, 1751 Glencaird Avenue, Lumby, B.C. or the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4 The family would like to thank the staff at the North Okanagan Hospice House for their encouragement, support, and empathy throughout our journey. They truly are a group of angels who make the passing of a loved one very special. Arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187

John S. Salmon We are saddened to announce the passing of Jack Salmon on May 29, 2011 after a series of complicated illnesses. Jack was born in Morrisburg, Ontario in 1927, the son of Edson and Maude Salmon. He was educated in Morrisburg and attended university in Ottawa and at MacDonald College in Montreal, where he graduated with an honours degree in chemistry.
Ulrich “Ollie� Glimm April 25th, 1941 – May 26th, 2011
â€œâ€Śabsent from the body, present with the Lord‌â€? 2 Cor 5:8b Ollie was born to a close-knit pioneer family in Northmark, Alberta and had recently returned to the homestead, sharing that experience with his children and some grandchildren. He had many passions and mastered many trades in which he expressed those talents through his own business ‘Glimco’. His greatest passion however was his family that was expressed so deeply in the last weeks of his life. Ollie (Opa) will be dearly missed and remembered by his wife Ruth; Children Jaiyme, Jackie (Craig), Erin and Peter (Mikaela); Grandchildren Danielle, Jessika (Greg), Becky, Josh, Jon, Tye, Ben, Lindsay, Sam, Eli, Sasha, Kurt and Kito; Great Grandchildren Jade, Nico and Dylan; Sisters Kay, Kit and Liesa; Brothers Peter (Bev), Wally (Ingrid) and Klaus (Diana); also by his extended family and friends. He will join his parents Helmuth and Gertrude, and his eldest daughter Teresa (Mik). A memorial service will be held on June 4th at 1pm at the Community BapĆ&#x;st Church (4911 Silver Star Rd) â€œâ€ŚI am Ć&#x;red, I am weak, I am worn: Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.â€? The family would like to express their graĆ&#x;tude to the staÄŤ at VJH for their care and support. In lieu of Ňowers, memorial donaĆ&#x;ons can be made in Ollie’s name to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital FoundaĆ&#x;on www.vjhfoundaĆ&#x;on.org. For those who wish to share condolences or stories of Ollie, please go to inmemoryofollieglimm@gmail.com
Jack started his career with General Mills Canada in Toronto. He married Mary Jane Leckie in 1956. Following the birth of their son, Rick, they moved to Cobourg, Ontario where Jack worked for General Foods for 14 years. Their daughter, Karen was born in Cobourg. He subsequently continued his career at Standard Brands and worked through to his retirement at Sun Pac Foods, where he was a Technical Supervisor for 17 years. Family life was a priority for Jack; he was a loving husband and father, always supporting and coaching his children in their sporting and community activities. Jack and Mary Jane retired to Coldstream in 1992 where Jack took up a part time retirement career as an art framer for Chimo Gallery, although his golf took priority. Jack was predeceased by his parents and his sisters, Marjorie Byrnes and Marion Earle. Jack will be forever loved and missed by his wife, Mary Jane, his son, Rick (Rose) of Nipegon, Ontario and daughter, Karen (Dave) Chown of Calgary and grandchildren (Kyle, Curt, Erik, Chantal, Trevor and Lauren) Friends and family are welcome to attend the funeral service on Friday, June 3rd, 2011 at 11 am at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Jack to the BC Lung Association. Funeral arrangements by Vernon Dignity Funeral Home.
