Ice days numbered at Civic Arena richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Time is running out on the clock for Vernon’s Civic Arena.

City council has instructed staff to pursue plans to decommission the 75-year-old ice sheet by either twinning Wesbild Centre or Priest Valley Arena.

“Civic is going to fail and needs replacement so it’s thoughtful and logical for us to consider how to do that,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

The earliest there could be a new facility, given a referendum and construction, is 2016.

State-of-the-art in 1938, Civic Arena’s best days are long behind it.

“The facility does not have sufficient snow loading capability in the roof,” said Doug Ross, the city’s recreation services manager.

“The (engineer’s) report also noted ongoing issues with the heaving of the concrete slab and the increase in vertical cracks in the exterior walls.”

Because the slab has heaved at least six inches in some places, there is also the potential for the brine cooling pipes to break.

While a core services review

by KPMG didn’t recommend replacing Civic, Ross doesn’t believe that is feasible given that Civic has 1,600 hours of ice use

The City of Vernon is forming a plan to decommission the 75-year-old Civic Arena and how to replace the ice sheet for local users. during the winter and existing Vernon arenas could only handle 60 per cent of that through dramatic rescheduling (teams playing hockey at 2 a.m.).

“Armstrong and Lumby do not have the ability to accommodate those people (the remaining 40 per cent),” he said.

The goal would be to construct

a new 400-seat facility. Ideally, it would be at Wesbild Centre, but because of an ongoing legal dispute at Kin Race Track, land may not be available.

The Regional District of North Okanagan has budgeted for a study to determine if Priest Valley Arena can be twinned.

Depending on the site, a new

arena could cost between $5 and $10 million.

“Using the current revenue generated by Civic Arena and estimated operational costs for a new energy efficient facility attached to an existing arena, the facility could operate at break even and essentially eliminate the existing $160,000 deficit to oper-

ate Civic,” said Ross.

“Additionally, the facility would become more attractive for the hosting of tournaments and large dry floor events.”

Sawatzky says the city is working with Coldstream and the electoral areas on arena needs.

“They share in the usage, the planning and the costs,” he said.

Public safety pushes demand for more conservation staff richard rolke Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan politicians are demanding more resources be invested in the environment.

The Regional District of the North Okanagan is writing the provincial government to insist that more conservation officers be hired.

“There is increased demand from the pubJackie Pearase lic for stewardship,” said director Jackie Pearase.

Presently, there are five field officers and one sergeant in Vernon and Kelowna, with two based out of Vernon.

In 2012/13, the Vernon office dealt with 1,670 cases of problem wildlife, 561 enforcement cases (illegal hunting), 119 charges and 196 warnings.

“Human safety, public health is always the priority,” said Barb Leslie, a conservation officer inspector with the Ministry of Environment, in a presentation to RDNO. However, based on staffing levels, Leslie admits there are challenges.

“We can’t take on more without the resources but we are looking at efficiencies.”

Staff is moved around the Interior based on where they are needed most and relationships with other agencies are being formed.

As an example, the East Kootenay Regional District pays for one conservation officer.

“We’re looking at partnerships because the

government wasn’t cutting (staff), but it wasn’t adding,” said Leslie.

Leslie encouraged RDNO to join the City of Vernon in the Bear Aware program.

“We hope it will deal with some of the wildlife/human conflicts,” she said.

Director Howie Cyr raised concerns once Leslie’s presentation was completed.

“I’m astonished you are so short-handed with officers in the field, especially for their own safety,” he said. “It’s really quite embarrassing.”

Director Mike Macnabb says a lack of enforcement in the woods is a growing problem.

“We have no protection in our watersheds so mudboggers go in there. We are finding illegal dumping all over the place. We need help.”

Leslie insists her department is establishing priorities to try and serve the public better.

“We’d love to do everything because these are the communities we live in,” she said.

Transit parking stalled for now richard rolke

“The Transit Future plan is being worked on.

Morning Star Staff

Attempts to bolster transit use are on hold.

Regional District of North Okanagan directors have decided not to take immediate action on a staff recommendation to try and pursue land for a park and ride facility for the bus from Vernon to Kelowna.

“The Transit Future plan is being worked on and there won’t be a final report until September, so it (recommendation) is premature,” said director Juliette Cunningham.

Director Rob Sawatzky agreed, saying there is a need to see if the planning process determines if there is a need for a park and ride facility and if property near Okanagan College is the best site.

“The results need to come to all municipal councils and the board first,” he said.

Staff had recom-

“The Transit Future plan, currently in the drafting stages, will indicate the need for a park and ride at the south and north ends of the Greater Vernon area,” said Nicole Kohnert, regional engineering services manager.

Kohnert says the benefits to such a facility include access to transit for residents in areas not served by transit, easing parking pressure near the downtown Vernon exchange and reducing traffic on Highway 97.

But that concept didn’t go over well with Cunningham.

“Information we were giving out during the referendum was no additional parking would be required,” she said of current college parking being available.

Dale McTaggart, general manager of engineering, says the plan is still to rely on college parking, but Clerke Road could be a backup.

“Events do happen where you get more people than you expect,” he said.

haul water,” said Karen Dittloff, who farms in the area.

“We want assurances our water won’t disappear when development happens. Take our water and our livelihood is gone.”

The area is served by wells, and as part of the rezoning process, the applicant conducted a hydrological study, which indicates sufficient supply.

But the results didn’t go over well with resident Terri Everest.

“Only four wells were monitored during test pumping. It’s too small to generalize from,” she said.

“Testing of wells should be done at other times of the year rather than just when there is runoff.”

Everest added that global warming could impact the ability of wells to replenish themselves.

The property is currently zoned comprehensive resort development. But owner Michael Rabe wants to zone 8.9 hectares to country residential and 117.6 hectares to multilot subdivision.

RBC Cup funds approved amidst debate richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A major sports event is garnering support although some officials are less than enthusiastic.

Vernon council has agreed to a tourism advisory committee recommendation to provide $14,450 in hotel room tax revenue to offset marketing expenses for the 2014 Royal Bank Cup. However, the committee believes the Canadian junior hockey championships are more of a community focus Jefferson than a tourism event.

“As the Vernon Vipers have a large, loyal fan base, accommodators expect that most spectators will be local and regional rather than overnight visitors,” said Michelle Jefferson, tourism manager, in a report to council.

“Council should be aware that although teams, their support staff and Hockey Canada staff will stay in accommodation in Vernon, these rooms are paid for by the local organizing committee rather than these guests.”

The tourism committee’s comments upset Coun.

Patrick Nicol, who insists the RBC Cup is a tourism draw.

“A significant number of people are coming (to Vernon) and that statement is out of line,” he said.

Organizers have stated the event could attract 3,500 to 4,000 visitors and have a local economic benefit of $1.5 million.

The 2014 Royal Bank Cup tournament, which will bring together two teams from Western Canada, one from Central Canada and one from Eastern Canada, along with the host Vernon Vipers, runs from May 10 to 18, 2014 at Wesbild Centre.

and resort, which the current zoning permits.

“It doesn’t fit in the area. I live there too.”

Based on the hydrological study, Rabe says he is confident there is sufficient water.

While RDNO staff had recommended third reading for zoning and OCP amendments, the board decided to send it to the Electoral Area Advisory Committee for further discussion.

“If water is such an issue, how do they get it (previously zoned) to 250 units and a golf course?” said director Bob Fleming.

Staffing a challenge for RCMP richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Ensuring shifts are filled has been a challenge at the Vernon/North Okanagan detachment.

During the first three months of 2013, serious injuries and illness meant the detachment was down an average of 23 to 27 officers. Full complement is 101 officers.

“The entire detachment is struggling right now,” said Supt. Reg Burgess, the officer in charge.

“In April, we were down 28 officers and that put us in the position where we had to take some plain clothes officers and put them on to the watches.”

A downtown unit officer was also moved to the domestic violence unit.

Presently, there are 23 fewer officers at the detachment.

“The prognosis for May is good,” said Burgess.

Another matter that Burgess is monitoring is the possibility of a large number of retirements in the next few years.

Cattlemen ride into town roger knox Morning Star Staff

One of the province’s oldest organizations is gathering in Vernon for its yearly meeting.

The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association’s 85th annual general meeting takes place from Thursday to Saturday at Wesbild Centre.

“It’s the original official cattlemen’s association that started supporting all cattlemen in B.C.,” explained Ron Trickett of the North Okanagan Livestock Association, one of the regional associations; that help form the BCCA. More than 400 delegates are expected to attend the three-day conference where the theme is “ground, grass and water.”

“That’s a lifeline of a ranch, like flowers to a beekeeper, it is the lifeblood of the ranch,” said Werner Stump, presdient of NOLA and a BCCA director.

“Without grass and access to water, you don’t have a ranch. Not only do you need access, you need to know they’re stable and always going to be there in order to have a ranching business.”

All meetings will be at the Wesbild Centre, which will also host a BCCA trade show throughout the weekend.

The event has drawn more than 70 companies

“It’s the original official cattlemen’s associaiton.”

displaying booths, and there will be machinery inside and outside the arena.

The trade show is open free of charge to the public, running Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m, Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The convention kicks off Thursday with a hamburger barbecue from 5 to 7 p.m. The event, by donation, is hosted by the area’s 4-H beef clubs.

One of the convention highlights for delegates will be an educational tour that ties in the ground, grass and water theme.

“Delegates will have the chance to go to three ranches in Lumby and Coldstream, including Coldstream Ranch,” said Lee Hesketh, BCCA director, who runs Silver Hills Ranch near Cherryville.

“The tour will relate different things we’re doing in the North Okanagan, including one of the things we emphasize in our region which is watershed management.”

Armstrong backs mill expansion

roger knox Morning Star Staff

The City of Armstrong is throwing its support behind North Enderby Timber’s expansion plans.

Council will send a letter of support as NET looks to take five acres of land beside its Highway 97A location out of the Agricultural Land Reserve to use for a log storage yard and a dry kiln.

NET also wants to convert a former 4.9-hectatre log sort yard on Crandlemire Road into agricultural capabilities.

“The Agricultural Land Commission wants to know if we support the application,” said Mayor Chris Pieper.

Support was unanimous amongst council members, though John Trainor was absent from the meeting, and Shirley Fowler excused herself from discussions as she is council’s rep to the Regional District of North Okanagan board.

RDNO has said they will stay neutral when it comes to NET’s application.

Drinking Water Week The city will host a couple of special events to mark National Drinking Water Week, which runs May 20-26.

There will be a tour of the city’s water treatment plant from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 25.

“I think it would be interesting to go out there and see how our water system works,” said Coun.

Sully O’Sullivan.

“The ALC wants to know if we support the application.”

— Chris Pieper

Registration for the tour can be done at city hall.

There will also be free public swimming on Sunday, May 26, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Memorial Park pool, which opens for the season Saturday.

Public swimming Saturday runs from noon to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.

Marigold Mile Armstrong school students, with help from any interested public members, will spruce up the area from the police station to the liquor store with a pretty flower.

The Marigold Mile will be planted Wednesday starting at 9 a.m. and will be finished “when the job is done,” according to Coun. O’Sullivan.

School children will be coming from Highland Park and Armstrong Elementary Schools, along with one class from Len Wood Middle School.

Any members of the public that would like to help out are welcome to attend.

e have a big garden. A huge garden.

I only wish that it was outside the house. And in a few weeks, when it is warmer, it will be, but right now there are bedding trays of tiny plants and seed catalogs in almost every room covering every flat surface.

It looks like a vegetarian hoarder exploded in our kitchen. Since it’s like this every spring, you’d think I’d get used to it, but I’m still not. I told Sue that they have this new thing called outdoor Jim Mullen gardening, which only got me a withering look and a smack with a Johnny’s seed catalog upside the head.

Sue grew up in farm country; I grew up in supermarket country.

The only thing I ever saw my mother grow was an avocado pit. She’d stick a few toothpicks in it and suspend it in a tall glass of water on the windowsill.

It didn’t seem to matter what time of year it was -- we’d get to watch a miracle of nature as it slowly grew roots and sent up a shoot.

When it got about two feet tall and she realized that it was getting too big for the window and would never live outside, it would go in the trash along with the percolator coffee grounds, the empty Spam cans and the newspapers.

City people didn’t separate their trash back then, it all simply disappeared every Monday and Thursday.

We thought that was a miracle, too, until the ‘70s, when we found out all the garbage was going into the town dump next to the reservoir and was leeching into our drinking water.

It only takes one taste of avocado pit, newsprint and Spam water to realize that some miracles are more miraculous than others.

I still have no idea what a mature, fruitbearing avocado plant looks like, any more than today’s gourmet caffeine junkie would

know what a percolator looks like.

Still, I’ve gone from not knowing where my food comes from to knowing the names of the people who grow a lot of the vegetables and raise the animals that I eat.

A friend with backyard chickens brings us eggs once a week and the yolks are a bright, sunny orange, not the pale yellow of most store-bought eggs.

I’d like to go on and on about how fabulously wonderful they taste, but once I’ve cooked them with ham and home fries, I can’t honestly say I can taste the difference between them and supermarket eggs.

The difference is that I know the chickens that laid these eggs. And they all have different personalities: curious, aloof, scared, bossy and every combination in between.

When I stop by their house, some run away, some strut right up to me and some ignore me.

Just like their owners do when they see me.

It’s happened gradually over the years, but more and more of my friends seem to be producing more and more of their own food.

Some keep bees, some make goat cheese, some bake bread, some raise sheep, some raise pigs, some make wine, some grow fruit, and Sue grows all kinds of herbs and vegetables.

Eight different kinds of basil the last time I counted.

She’ll trade some of her heirloom tomato plants with the baker for bread and with the beekeeper for honey.

We don’t use much honey, so maybe we’ll trade that for a pound of bacon from the guy with the pigs.

Of course, we still shop for most of our food -- it’s hard to grow bananas, wheat and coffee in the backyard -- but once you know where things come from, you shop with different eyes.

Where do they get tomatoes in April? We’ll use the ones we canned last summer. Garlic from China? I can plant a year’s worth in the backyard in 10 minutes. That asparagus at $3 a bunch? I could grow my own. I think I will.

There is no question that the provincial government has neglected environmental protection.

While there were four conservation officers in the North Okanagan about 20 years ago, there are now two and a supervisor. In total, the present complement is five field officers and a supervisor for an area from the north end of Shuswap Lake to Peachland.

How effective is such a small force going to be over such a vast geographic area, particularly when demands are growing?

“We have no protection in our watersheds so mudboggers go in there,” said Mike Macnabb, a regional district director.

“We are finding illegal dumping all over the place.”

Conflicts between people and wildlife are also growing. In 2012/13, there were 1,673 cases of problem animals in the North Okanagan, including instances of livestock being killed.

And illegal hunting continues to be a problem.

Ministry officials are encouraging the public and local jurisdictions to get more involved, and while that is fine, it should be pointed out that residents already pay taxes for the service, so is further downloading necessary?

Also, even if local residents report infractions, will there be an officer available who can enforce the law?

The Regional District of North Okanagan is demanding that Victoria place more conservation officers on the ground to protect our natural resource.

But that isn’t enough. Our newly elected MLAs — Eric Foster and Greg Kyllo — need to hear directly from residents of the North Okanagan.

Good governance needs transparency

I

served on Vernon city council for 12 years and practiced as a chartered accountant for close to 50 years.

I had extensive audit experience and consulting with municipalities.

I commenced asking for an accounting after the end of the 2006 fiscal year at the City of Vernon. The then-mayor requested that I pursue my questions with staff. After two years of incomplete answers, I requested that my questions be referred to the city auditors.

In June 2010, the matter was referred to the auditors and they were unable to get adequate responses from administration. New auditors were appointed in late 2011, but the original questions were still not satisfactorily answered.

The city failed to invoice in a timely manner (and in some cases, failed to invoice) for services rendered in amounts totalling more than $1 million.

This included failure to invoice Coldstream for $243,000 and staff stated the amounts were not recoverable under the sewer agreement. They ultimately recovered the funds but did not investigate whether other billings had been overlooked. naturopathic care I am writing to you about the tens of thousands of British Columbians that visit licensed naturopathic doctors (NDs) for primary care.

Although most NDs are in large urban areas, demand for NDs across B.C. is growing rapidly. Most importantly, NDs in rural areas are meeting a need and desire for patientcentred primary care.

You may have seen the provincial government's recent announcement of the, "A GP for Me" initiative, intended to find solutions to the GP shortage which is more acute in rural areas. What your readers may not be aware of is, there are myriad opportunities to see an ND in Vernon and throughout the Okanagan. The 10 NDs in Vernon are some of the more than 500 licensed NDs in B.C., all of whom can, and do, act to meet the demand for primary care.

While the care that B.C.'s NDs provide is generally not covered by the provincial Medical Services Plan, their focus on overall wellness, providing primary care with attention to disease prevention, diet, environment and health history is a draw to patients (most of whom have extended health coverage). NDs can also prescribe scheduled drugs, when and if appropriate.

In addition, many mistakes were made in the sewer levy on taxpayers.

The present mayor maintains that he doesn't have the time to look backwards.

Most people learn from past mistakes but he will not

In 2008, the Liberal government, under then health minister George Abbott, made two throne speech commitments to naturopathic physicians. The first, limited prescription rights, was realized in 2010. The second, access to B.C.'s privately owned but publicly funded medical laboratories, has yet to be acted upon.

We believe that NDs can and already do address the shortage of GPs by offering comparable services.

I would like to encourage your readers — in support of the NDs already practicing in your community as primary care providers — to contact their local MLA and voice support for diagnostic access for B.C.'s NDs. Dr. Deborah phair, B.c. naturopathic association president tanker rules The item on the tough tanker rules needs some comment.

There are a few facts about tankers that are not mentioned in any of the government issues about them.

All tankers share a common problem, one engine.

Double hulls will provide an extra safeguard against spills but are no guarantee. A tanker grounded on a rocky shore will still eventually have

the inner hull punctured by rough seas grinding the ship back and forth on the rocks.

While modern marine engines are very reliable, they can, and still do, break down from time to time.

I know from personal experience.

The bigger the engine, the longer it takes to fix, especially when in very rough seas.

While being repaired, the ship is drifting and violent storms, strong currents and winds can drive that ship back to shore in a very short time. The government and Enbridge both claim there will be a tug attached until the tanker is well out to sea, but if a violent storm occurs and an engine breakdown as well, you have a real problem.

If the tug has returned to base, by the time it can come back to assist it will probably be too late. Also, even if it does come back, getting a heavy steel tow line on to the tanker will be virtually impossible in heavy seas.

The recent cruise ship episode in the Gulf of Mexico had four tugs towing it to port in calm seas and one of them had a cable break under the strain.

How then does the government expect one tug to be of any use trying to control a tanker of more than 200,000 tons in very stormy seas?

with such an attitude. No one has been held responsible for these mistakes and there has been no accountability.

Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other major losses will not occur and have to be absorbed by the taxpayers. It is no wonder that our taxation is higher than that of our neighbours.

It's strange how these politicians maintain transparency and accountability at election time. With the present attitude of council, can we really expect major improvements from the core review? The mayor has already dismissed, without debate, the possibility of amalgamation.

Good governance is supported by five principles: Accountability where the individuals taking responsibility for their decisions and actions, integrity by utilizing high levels of professionalism, leadership by setting the tone by way of expectations at the head of the organization, stewardship by looking after resources for the public, and transparency when decisions are open and the public has access to full accurate and clear information.

The mayor, council and administration have failed all of these principles of good governance.

Barry Beardsell

The cruise ship was 130,000 tons and needed four to do the job.

We are fed up with Enbridge and the government and their misleading TV ads.

They are deliberately trying to minimize the risks that are involved with the pipeline and tankers. Even with the jobs that will be created, the risks are too high. noel tyler thank you I am sending a huge thank you to the Gleaners of the North Okanagan.

We are lucky enough to live in Mexico for six months out of the year and we made it our journey to help the underprivileged as much as we could.

Last November, as we were heading back down to our little village of Barra De Navidad, we were lucky enough to have the Gleaners help to send us more than 47 lbs of vegetable soup mix and applesauce.

All of this food made its way down to a migrant indigenous school/housing project. These are the children and adults that work in the fields picking chili and tomatoes.

Having this food from the Gleaners helps the mothers feed their children a more nutritional meal other than just torilla every night. So

once again, thank you Gleaners for all of your hard work and just know that all you do is appreciated. Keep up your great work. cheryl Bronk

“It’s long overdue and would be a welcome addition to our heritage inventory,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie, who graduated from AES in 1981.

Now that first two readings to the proposed bylaw have been read, a public hearing will be held May 27, at 7 p.m. in council chambers to give the public a chance to have their say on the matter.

After the public hearing, third reading and final adoption of the bylaw are expected to be held during the two regular monthly council meetings in

It’s hoped that a ceremony acknowledging it as a heritage site can be held at the school before the end of the school year.

construction company can now officially go ahead with plans to

service a property near Armstrong.

Council gave fourth

and final readings to official community plan and zoning amendment bylaws that will allow Emil Anderson Construction Ltd. to develop the property at 2055 Highway 97A and Harding Road.

“They’ve told us they hope to start working on things after the long weekend and I don’t think that’s changed,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper.

Council unanaimously approved an OCP amendment bylaw that changes the future land use of the property from 0.2 to 1.08 hectares highway and tourist commercial, and 4.68 to 3.80 ha multi-family residential.

The zoning amendment allows a change to highway tourist commerical and residential and apartment multifamily sized zones.

What has been before council for months is a plan for 63 housing units for the residential portion, and a Tim Hortons in one corner of the commercial aspect.

There is also a potential for a hotel or a motel on the site.

Pieper said that all the servicing for the property, such as water, sewer and roads, must be done first before any buildings can go up.

Group questions chemical-free policy richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Officials aren’t convinced a chemical-free policy is actually working on Lumby sports fields.

Herbicides have not been applied to fields for a few years, but the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee is questioning the policy’s effectiveness.

“There is an increased cost for labour (non-chemical weed control) and yet it looks like the weeds will

“It looks like the weeds will overtake us.”

— Randal Ostafichuk

overtake us,” said director Randal Ostafichuk.

“If the fields won’t be used because of weeds, we have to look at what we’re doing.”

The primary concern is some weeds can create a tripping hazard and that increas-

es the committee’s liability.

“If you get an infestation of dandelions, they create an uneven surface and that interferes with the athletes,” said Rick Fairbairn, chairperson.

Presently, weeds are man-

aged through top dressing and aeration.

“There’s an interest in getting information on options for weed control and we want to get feedback from the user groups. Are weeds a problem?” said Tannis Nelson, community development coordinator.

Despite the review, Nelson insists the committee isn’t necessarily going back to using traditional herbicides.

“There are organic chemical product options out there to consider,” she said.

Hospice benefits from golf event Morning Star Staff

Local woman are urged to come hit the links in support of hospice.

The Home Building Centre Ladies Only Golf Tourney gets underway June 7 at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club.

“Spring is in the air and that means it’s time to dust off your golf clubs and hit some balls,” said Daphne Coleman, event organizer. “What better way to get some fresh air than to sign up for the seventh annual Home Building Centre Ladies Only Golf Tournament in support of the North Okanagan Hospice Society.”

Over the past six years, the event has raised more than $155,000 thanks to the support of local business owners and golfers.

Pre-registration is between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., shotgun start is at 1 p.m. But space is limited so early registration is encouraged. Teams of five ladies can be booked or individuals can be joined to form a team.

The event also features a live and silent auction, all in support of hospice.

“Our company is very proud of its B.C. roots and sponsoring a community event such as Funtastic gives us a chance to celebrate with our customers and our neighbours.”

The Save-On-Foods Funtastic Slo-pitch Tournament began as a grassroots, community supported event in 1985, focused on raising funds for local community sport and recreation.

In 1985, $860 was provided to Special Olympics.

This initial commitment has continued and grown as the Funtastic Sports Society has now donated more than $1.5 million to support sports and recreation throughout the region.

“With so many visitors camping and residents hosting barbecues during Funtastic, it’s just a natural fit to have a strong B.C. brand such as Save-On-Foods as the title sponsor of the slo-pitch tournament,” said Jim McEwan, executive director, partner, Funtastic Sports Society.

Run raises FRESH FROM asparagus OUR FARM funds to fight ★ OKANAGAN ASPARAGUS Huntingtons FARM 97A

on LANSDOWNE RD

Morning Star Staff

It’s a debilitating brain disorder that is fatal and incurable.

North Okanagan residents have a chance to help in the fight against Huntington Disease which affects one in every 6,000 Canadians, and approximately five in every 10,000 are at risk of developing the disease.

The sixth annual Run To Finish Huntington Disease takes place Saturday, May 25, at Kin Beach.

“I started this when my then-sister-in-law was diagnosed and I had no idea what Huntington Disease was,” said event organizer Dan Middleton, a Lake Country triathlete.

“I phoned the Huntington Society of Canada and asked if they had any kind of runs and they said, ‘No, but I could start one.’”

So Middleton did. Since it’s inception, the local event has raised an average of $15,000 per year.

Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome. There are routes for a one-km walk and five-km run/walk. The event starts with registration at 8 a.m. Participants will be welcomed at 9:50 a.m. and the run and walk starts at 10 a.m.

Awards and announcements will take place at 11:30. A race kit pick-up is available the morning of the event.

Participants who raise more than $100 in pledges will receive a free teamHD technical t-shirt.

Be sure to visit the event’s online pledging site through www.teamhd.ca where you can create a personalized fundraising page and expand your fundraising efforts worldwide.

With online pledging, you can set a personal goal, post a picture, write your own message and send emails inviting friends to pledge you. Donors can pledge immediately and receive a tax receipt right away.

The sixth Annual Run to Finish Huntington Disease is an initiative of the Huntington Society of Canada, Okanagan Chapter.

The Morning Star is an official event sponsor.

For more information on the event, contact Middleton at (250) 808-8072 or e-mail hscokanagan@ yahoo.ca.

Tambellini takes top forward Morning Star Staff

Ex-Vernon Viper Adam Tambellini was named Top Forward at the RBC Cup national junior A hockey tournament banquet Friday night in Summerside, PEI. Tambellini, an 18-year-old centre who helped the Surrey Eagles win the BCHL Fred Page Cup, earned a share of third in RBC round-robin scoring with two goals and four assists in four games.

The Edmonton product is rated No. 42 by Central Scouting heading into the NHL entry draft, June 30, in New Jersey.

Surrey, who finished the round-robin in second place at 3-1, faced the host Western Capitals (2-2) in RBC semifinal action Saturday.

The Alberta champion Brooks Bandits, who beat Surrey to in the head-to-head to place first, took on the No. 4 Minnesota Wilderness (1-3) in the other semi.

Other RBC award recipients include: the Bandits’ Cam Maclise – tournament MVP (Roland Mercier Trophy); Summerside’s Kevin Bailie – Top Goaltender; Surrey’s Devon Toews – Top Defenceman; Minnesota’s Mike Dietrich – Most Sportsmanlike Player (Tubby Schmalz Trophy); and the Bandits’ Anthony Paskaruk – Top Scorer.

Hett revs up off-road profile Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor

They call her the first lady of off-road racing.

She will ride anywhere, anytime and while in a sport dominated by masculine men, she still maintains her feminine side.

Victoria (Tory) Hett is riding a Valley Motosports, Husaberg TE250 for the Corner Grass Racing Team out of Wardlow, Alta. this season.

Two weeks ago at the Geico Motorcycle EnduroCross in Las Vegas, the 29-year-old nicely painted her nails and toes “Husaberg blue” and then battled to sixth spot in a field of 25 ladies at the Orleans Arena.

EnduroCross is basically a torture test which incorporates various elements of extreme off-road racing into a Supercross-style setting, including rocks, boulders, logs, sand, mud, a water hole and giant tires.

“The logs are strategically placed so you can’t ride a bike through them,” chuckles Hett, who drove almost 24 hours from Vernon to Vegas with two racing buddies.

“People love it because it’s a complete disaster to watch. There is total carnage. I qualified right away and it (main event) went really well. I had a bad start. There was a big pile-up and it took me a while to get through it. The few girls who escaped it were too far ahead.”

Alberta’s Shelby Turner claimed the women’s title ahead of Salmon Arm’s Chantelle Bykerk. The indoor chaos has been running for five years in the U.S. and seven in Europe.

The 5-foot-7, 160-pound Hett, who has defeated several men in her career, will try again to reach the X Games (Aug. 4 in Los Angeles) by racing in a June 8 qualifier in Sacramento.

“I’m pretty confident I will do well in Sacramento and qualify for the X Games. It was a learning experience in Vegas. Once I put some laps down, I felt really good.”

Hett enjoyed a dynamic debut on her new bike at the March 30 Katoom & Doom race near Campbell River. After pulling the holeshot, Hett rode clean for more than four hours to place second out of 23 riders in the Intermediate category.

A week later, at the Desert 100 in Odessa, Wash., Hett ruled the ladies class by close to seven minutes, sweet redemption after leading and running out of gas 10 miles from the finish last year. She gated top10 out of 800 riders on the line.

Hett has tweaked her mental preparation in the past year.

“It’s really important to really stay calm. You have to relax and concentrate on your stance and grip. If you fall over at the rock corner (indoors), you can’t panic. If your heart rate stays at 80 per and goes up to two minutes max, you’re done. You can’t

Don Weixl Photo

victoria (tory) hett is riding a valley Motosports, husaberg te250 for the corner Grass Racing team this season. recover in time to compete efficiently.”

A regular off-road race in the outdoors lasts three to six hours so it’s cardio based. Indoors, where the main event goes maybe 15 minutes, it’s all about anaerobic, going full tilt for 45 seconds at peak performance.

Hett claimed a female bronze medal at the ISDE six-day world enduro championships last September in Germany and was the first Canadian woman to finish and be accepted into the 2010 worlds near Mexico City, where she also bagged bronze.

In the summer of 2011, Hett earned huge respect as the lone female entrant in the hellish Xtinction race in the Badlands of Alberta.

She was a last-minute entry just hoping to survive the weekend without injury or destroying her bike and with any luck, completing a lap of the qualifier.

From the Singletracks website: “Well, that’s what she said. Hett’s riding said otherwise as she put many of the guys to shame, climbing the big hills and completed not one, but two laps of the qualifier.

Hett actually had time to do a third lap of the qualifier but elected to play it safe and risk not qualifying for the main.”

She became the first lady to ever finish the extreme enduro, in three hours, placing 32nd overall.

She has worked in the Kal Tire marketing

department for two years and feels lucky to have solid support from company owner Rob Foord, a serious mountain bike enthusiast.

The 2002 Fulton grad spent five years in the RCMP, serving in Penticton and Keremeos before the endless paperwork drove her to try a new career.

While some families hold Sunday dinners, the Hetts race motorcycles. Tory’s father, Rob, competes in the Super Senior class. Her younger brothers Jordon and Malcolm fly in the Expert and Pro divisions, respectively.

She will ride in the Pacific Northwest series events in B.C. and the Royal Distributing Canadian Cross-Country Championships.

Hett, named after her April 15, 1984 birthplace of Victoria, is a major fun-seeker who enjoys horseback riding with her mom, Julie, on the Hetts’ acreage in Cherryville, hiking, snowboarding and snowshoeing.

Asked if she was a good cook, Hett shook her head and laughed: “I can cook a mean deer roast.”

Also carrying sponsorship from Riders Edge Suspension in Vernon, Emperor Racing, Fasstco and Gamma Sales, she trains or races almost every day, doing crossfit reps at home when she’s off the bike.

“I hope to be in my 70s riding motorcycles surrounded by my friends and family.”

ndrew Ebbett spent this week doing garden and yard work in between a Tigers-Houston Astros game at Comerica Park in Detroit.

The 30-year-old Vernon minor hockey product is an unrestricted free agent, or UFA, as they are known in the NHL. He finds out in early July whether the Vancouver Canucks believe he’s worthy of keeping around for another year or two.

In the meantime, he and his wife, Maggie, will enjoy their new home in Canton, just 23 miles west of HockeyTown and 27 miles east of Ann Arbor, where Ebbett racked up Kevin Mitchell 38 goals and 153 points with the Michigan Wolverines.

“We’re out in the woods and it’s relaxing,” said Ebbett. “It’s an old farm house on two acres. We’ve got deer in our back yard.

Every night, there are two or three families of them. There is a wetlands and park next to us. It was the second place we looked at, and when I saw my wife’s face two steps into the door, I knew we were buying it.”

Ebbett played in two of Vancouver’s four playoff games against San Jose, and while he digests the surprise sweep, he doesn’t believe a major blow-up is required.

“We played decent in the second game.

We missed an empty net and they came back and won in overtime. We also took a couple stupid penalties. In Game 4, they had 21 shots on the powerplay so that was a big difference. It’s frustrating because we could have easily been the team up 2-0.

“Last year, L.A. outplayed us. They were a team on a roll. San Jose had better personnel in past years, but they were more of a team this year. (Logan) Couture is the straw that stirs the drink, so to speak.”

Ebbett spoke to some Canucks as they cleared out their lockers last week.

“I told some of the guys this team has been a creature of our own success. Other teams would die to have won six division

between the lines

titles in seven years and two President’s Trophies in three years.”

At 5-foot-9, 174 pounds, Ebbett doesn’t have the muscle to play like a fourth-line grinder. Instead, he offers speed, vision and versatility. He has been a point-agame player at the AHL level, recording 236 points in 247 games over five seasons.

The former Salmon Arm SilverBack also showed he can produce in the NHL if given the chance, pocketing 8-24-32 and a plus-8 rating in 48 games in his rookie campaign with the Ducks in 2008-09. He earned six points in 28 games with the Canucks and another 32 points in 37 tilts with the Chicago Wolves this year.

Ebbett, who makes $600,000 a season, believes he is a bargain depth player.

“I have a good relationship with the management in Vancouver. I’ve been pretty consistent and they know what they’re getting. I’m like a security blanket. I can start as the 13th forward and move up. I would like to be part of a winner and have some playoff success.”

In Chicago, Ebbett starred on the top line with AHL veterans Darren Haydar and Brett Sterling. He also got a few shifts with Canuck star-in-waiting Zach Kassian.

“Kassian has a ton of potential. He’s strong and he has real good hands and a real good shot. People forget he’s only 22.

You have to be patient with some players, especially young, big guys in the NHL.” While he has no immediate family left in Vernon, Ebbett will attend Canuck teammate Cam Barker’s wedding in Summerland in early August.

Schneider wins Pucksters title

Canuck prospect Stefan Schneider shot 75 Saturday to win the Les Schaeffer Trophy in the 33rd annual Pucksters Golf Tournament at Spallumcheen.

The event is put on by Charlie Briskham, Garney Howard and the Vernon Canadians Oldtimers hockey club.

Director Clark Inglis, who played some college baseball in Washington State, also carded a 75, losing to Schneider by retrogression. Inglis pocketed the Red Sutherland Trophy for low net.

Odie Lowe, who played four games for

Vernon’s Andrew Ebbett is waiting to see how he fits into the Vancouver Canucks’ roster plans. the New York Rangers and won the 1956 Allan Cup with the Vernon Canadians, and Ron Hutchinson, who had nine games with the Rangers after winning the 1957 Memorial Cup with the Flin Flon Bombers, were among the honoured guests.

Schneider, a 6-foot-5, 210 pound centre, collected seven points in 32 games with the AHL Chicago Wolves. He also played two AHL tilts with the Peoria Rivermen and eight with the ECHL Kalamazoo Wings.

The Black Knights shaded the previously undefeated Yellow Jackets 12-11 in an all-Vernon Pee Wee baseball showdown Wednesday at Creekside Park.

In the first inning, the Yellow Jackets, sponsored by Interior Utility Management, got a beauty hit to right field from Eric Foufoulas, while the bottom of the first

showcased hot box skills between Izaac Lowe and Emily Wilson. Jackets’ pitcher Kalvin Blaeser tossed a strong final inning, allowing only two runs, but the Black Knights, sponsored by the Fraternal Order Of Eagles, pulled out the win.

Ryan Bayda, who boosted the Vernon Vipers to the 1999 Royal Bank Cup title, helped the Saskatoon Blades prepare for the Memorial Cup at a practice last Monday in Warman.

Bayda, a former Carolina Hurricane back in Toon Town after a third year in Germany, and nine other pros or university players, scrimmaged against the Blades, whose last WHL game was March 27.

The group simulated some of the powerplay schemes used by teams in the running for the Major Junior tournament.

“It gives the Blades some competition instead of just playing against each other,” Bayda told The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix.

“When you do that, you start to learn everyone’s tendencies and start cheating a little bit.”

Bayda, as a 17-year-old, racked up 82 points on the Vipers’ powerful KBG line with Tyler Knight and Lanny Gare before going to the University of North Dakota.

Vernon starter Kyle Ciurka struck out the side in the first inning, ending with five strikeouts. Landon Curry also struck out the side in his first inning of pitching, fanning six batterse overall.

Ciurka and Isaac Walkemaras each had two RBI in what turned out to be a game of unearned runs, lots of walks, strong base stealing and heads-up baseball for Vernon.

Sistas swerve Centreline Morning Star Staff

The Sunterra Sistas shut down the short-staffed Centerline Attack 5-0 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #5.

Kim Sylvester ran through Centerline’s back line to score 10 minutes into the first half. After receiving a Jennie Currie cross, Sylvester buried it from outside the penalty box.

A few minutes later, Centerline’s keeper was fooled by crafty Carmen Kinniburgh, who carried the ball into the box directly towards the keeper, and at the last second, made a nifty

pass to Andrea Zubot for an easy touch into an open net.

Angela Otto then put a sweet through ball to Deanna Baker for a 3-0 lead before the break.

Sylvester converted early in the second half with Nicole Williams and Kinniburgh drawing assists.

Sarah Ehman found net after a Miranda Dalhuisen feed to complete the attack.

Marisa Wiebe and Cassandra Otto were solid on defence and keeper Suzyn August stopped several good Centreline chances.

The Attack fielded just 10 players.

Clark Richardson (middle) of the Fulton Maroons tries to fend off Ben Rusk of the Kalamalka Lakers in the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys Rugby final Thursday at Kal. Fulton scored a late try to win 24-20.

MON. 20th 10 AM - Heavy Horse Pull 1 PM - Rodeo Sorry for any inconvenience

Speedy Connor Mackus scored on a late 40-yard scamper as the Fulton Maroons upended the Kalamalka Lakers 24-20 in the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys Rugby final Thursday at Kal Field.

With Fulton trailing by three points, they stole the ball and Clark Richardson made a great run to jumpstart the winning phase. However, Clark suffered an injured collarbone on the play and will miss the No. 7 ranked Maroons’ provincial championship opener against the No. 10 Rick Hansen Hurricanes of Abbotsford Saturday in Kelowna.

“It is a big blow to our club,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “Simply put, he is a great kid who has been our MVP this season.”

The Lakers came out flying, racing to a 15-0 lead by the 12-minute mark.

“We ran sideways and allowed Kal to dictate the pace of the contest,” said Scheller. “A lot of credit has to go to Kal for that. They came out fired up and very well prepared and they took it to us at he beginning of the game.

“Eventually, our kids began to settle down and we started to play more of our style. We ran straighter, supported better and finished our tackles.”

The Maroons, who trailed 15-7 at the half, got other tries from Adam Woods, Caleb McCuaig and Richardson, who, along with Layne Greene, kicked a convert.

In the second half, Fulton continued to control the ball and held the majority of possession and territory.

“Winning the Valley title is a very nice way to cap off a very good season for us, and hopefully gives us momentum heading into the provincial playoffs,” said Scheller, who praised the play of flanker Dan Eustache, winger Bryce Dulaba and Greene, who attacked well from the No. 10 position.

In junior boys Valley quarterfinal playoff action, the Maroons bowed 24-17 to the Kelowna Owls in an entertaining match-up Wednesday.

Davron Polok and Mike Williamson supplied the offence for the Maroons, who were tied 7-7 at the break. Louis Lins went 2-for-2 on converts and also booted a penalty.

Fulton led 17-12 with about 10 minutes to go and seemed to have the advantage in play, but KSS took over in the final eight minutes and scored a couple of late tries to seal the victory.

“Both sides played hard and it was entertaining,” said Scheller, who thanked assistant coaches Kevin Stecyk, Shane Gaythorpe and Joe Lawrence for their hard work with both the junior and senior programs.

“I was proud of the way our kids played. We just came up a little short in the playoffs to a very good KSS team.”

Scrum-half Lins, standoff Tye Kitzman, centre Max Chapman and prop Sikandar Ahmad all had great games for the Maroons.

Kozak finishes 47th Morning Star Staff

A 1-over par 73 wasn’t enough to boost Vernon’s Conner Kozak up the standings in Round 3 of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Friday in Salem, Ore. Kozak, a member of the UBC Thunderbirds, started the final day in 65th place and ended with a share of 47th after carding 78-76-73 for an 11-over 227 at the Creekside Golf Club.

Aaron Flores of the Our Lady of the Lake University Saints of San Antonio carded a final round 3-under 69 (72-71-69) to finish tied at 4-under with Sondre Ronold of the Oklahoma City Stars (69-69-74).

The Vernon Caufields Engraving Panthers fell behind early and never caught up as they fell 20-4 to Enderby in Squirt fastball action Wednesday at Grahame Park.

The Panther bats came alive in the third inning with hits from Kaitlyn Holbrook, Timara Jensen and Kerry Bono. Jensen supplied a run.

The Cats were back at it in the fourth inning with Asia Graham, Kass Bradley and Emma Lochhead getting singles. Kaylee Crandlemire smacked an RBI double.

The White House Mortgage Gators added a splash of pink to their uniforms Wednesday night to honour teammate Lisa Payne, who died Tuesday after a second battle with breast cancer.

They plan to keep wearing pink for the remainder of the Vernon Square Liquor Store Women’s SloPitch League season, not only as a way of remembering Payne, but also because they are on a roll in their new threads.

The Gators remained undefeated as they hammered the expansion Ice Cold Pitches 29-3 at Kin Park Wednesday.

Melissa Locke batted 5-for-5 with two RBI, Jenn Thatcher went 4-for-4 with a pair of ground-rule doubles and three ribbies and Jen Doyle also hit 4-for-4 with three RBI and a home run.

Speedy newcomer Jayden Horochuck smacked three hits, including two doubles and three RBI,

Rodger and Nancy Bergen are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

They were married May 18, 1963 in Winnipeg, Man. They have two daughters, Tracy (Henry) Tishenko and Tammy (Dave) Giles; four grandchildren, Nicholas Maxwell, Hailey Douma, Michael Tishenko and Shawn Tishenko; three great-grandchildren, Zachary, Charleigh and Mackenzie.

The couple moved to Vernon in 1979. Rodger has worked for McCain Foods for more than 40 years and is retiring in June.

They both enjoy time with family and friends, as well as travelling.

On Mother’s Day, May 12, it rained, snowed, hailed, sleeted and was sunny for 10 minutes and the Leafs won the hockey game.

This sort of describes Toronto: a hodgepodge of activity, the eye of tumultuous weather, an ongoing, energetic, constantly moving centre of activity. There must have been a ton of energy expended by the thousands of fans that stood outside the hockey arena in downtown Toronto watching the game on a huge screen while being drowned in the savage weather.

I am writing this column May 14 and last night the Leafs lost

For many years senior’s advocates in B.C. have been advocating to increase home-support services to assist people to remain in their homes longer, a worthy goal that would benefit many seniors emotionally and the province financially.

But we should be aware that if some health services are increased others will be reduced.

A case in point being the recent Ontario provincial budget which is moving to expand home-care services by increasing that budget to $4.56 billion while hospital budgets are frozen to $17 billion, the same as last year’s. Some hospitals are now downsizing by cutting beds, staff and services to meet the new budget demands and this will certainly increase wait lists for any elective surgeries such as knee replacements which now, according to the Ministry of Health, run to an average of

Please give.

eight to 14 months in Toronto depending on the hospital. Here, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, wait lists for knee replacement are approximately 13 months for 90 per cent of people and we certainly do not want these wait lists to increase. It is a dilemma. Which way do we go when resources are limited?

Prevention is the best way to reduce health care costs, and looking at our own health needs and improving our lifestyles improves our quality of life as well.

For instance, how many cups of coffee do you drink daily and do you know what the recommended levels are?

Dietitians of Canada report that moderate intake of caffeine is OK, but too much might make you feel nervous and irritable, increase your heart rate, interfere with sleep and cause headaches. Health Canada recommends we get no more than 400 to 450 mg of caffeine per day, equivalent to two

to four cups of coffee (depending on the size of your mug).

If you are pre-diabetic or are looking at preventing type 2 diabetes, the Mayo Clinic’s latest newsletter found that in a recent study, modest lifestyle changes can reduce the risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes by 71 per cent.

Some changes they recommend are eating in a healthier way by eating minimally processed foods and including less fat and fewer calories in your diet. Performing exercise equivalent to brisk walking for 150 minutes a week — an average of 30 minutes a day for five days a week.

They also recommended that overweight people who might be prone to type 2 diabetes aim to lose seven per cent of their body weight.

For someone weighing 200 pounds, that’s 14 pounds. Seems like a reasonable amount to lose to prevent a serious disease like diabetes.

Canadian Tire is getting a jump on getting kids playing.

The fifth annual Jumpstart Day in Vernon takes place Saturday, May 25, at Canadian Tire (451027th Street).

The day-long fundraising event is the celebration of Jumpstart’s Together We Can Help All Kids Play campaign which, through the month of May, encourages customers to donate $2 in exchange for a red ball, a national symbol for child’s play.

On Jumpstart Day, most Canadian Tire stores across the country will celebrate and raise additional funds for Jumpstart with special events and activities for customers.

At Canadian Tire Vernon, customers will be asked for a donation to participate in fun activities. All money raised will be donated to Jumpstart, and stay within the local community.

To date, 1,233 chil-

dren in Vernon have been able to participate in sports and recreation because of Jumpstart.

Canadian Tire invites the Vernon community to get involved and make a difference in the lives of local kids.

FRESH FISH, FRESH FOOD, takE Out mEalS & SERvIcE That’s what you get!

Cathi Litzenberger photo

It’s asparagus season in the North Okanagan, but there’s more versatility to this tasty vegetable than steaming — try it roasted, or sautéed and tossed with garlic and parmesan cheese.

Okanagan asparagus has taken root Cathi Litzenberger

Morning Star Columnist

About three years ago, I found several packages of asparagus roots for sale at season’s end and decided I would grow asparagus here at home.

I did my research and set about building a garden for the stuff and planted it that fall. The first spring a fair number of thin spears popped up. I was delighted.

Asparagus should be left to go to seed for the first three years to build the root system, and so this will be the first year I get to eat any.

So what happened? Thus far my asparagus bed has only produced two spears which I ate on the spot, and in the last week or so not a single green spear has broken ground.

So where are the rest? Sigh. I’m heading out to get Armstrong asparagus as it’s now available; it’s local, delicious and reliable.

Asparagus with Garlic Butter and Parmesan Cheese 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed of woody ends (thick spears) 125 g butter (no substitute) 4 garlic cloves, crushed Salt and pepper 40 g parmesan cheese, finely grated Bring a pan of water to the boil, drop the asparagus in and cook for about 2 minutes or until just tender-crisp. Plunge into iced water to stop them cooking, then drain.

Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant. Season with salt and

pepper, then add the asparagus to the pan, tossing and turning gently in the butter until hot. Divide among 4 plates, then sprinkle each serving with the cheese. You might like crusty bread to mop up the rest of the garlic butter!

Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter (healthy and low-calorie) 40 asparagus spears, trimmed (about 2 pounds) Cooking spray 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar Cracked black pepper (optional) Crated lemon rind (optional) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange asparagus in single layer on baking sheet; coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes or until tender-crisp.

Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over asparagus, tossing well to coat. Garnish with cracked pepper and rind, if desired.

Baked Asparagus & Cheese Frittata 2 tablespoons fine dry breadcrumbs 1 pound thin asparagus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 onions, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes Freshly ground pepper, to taste 4 large eggs 2 large egg whites 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese Preheat oven to 325 F. Coat a 10-inch pie pan or ceramic quiche dish with cooking spray.

Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, tapping out the excess. Snap tough ends off asparagus. Slice off the top 2 inches of the tips and reserve. Cut the stalks into 1/2-inch-long slices.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell pepper, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water and the asparagus stalks to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the asparagus is tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes (the mixture should be very dry). Add the sun dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange vegetables in even layer in prepared pan.

Whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Add ricotta, parsley, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; whisk to blend.

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, gently shaking the pan to distribute. Scatter the reserved asparagus tips over the top and sprinkle with Gruyère.

Bake the frittata until a knife inserted in

the centre comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Penne with Asparagus & Cherry Tomatoes 8 ounces penne pasta 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1-1/2 pounds thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 cups (about 9 ounces) cherry tomatoes 1 cup shelled fresh peas 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock 1 cup grated Parmesan 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the asparagus, season with the salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes until slightly soft.

Add the cherry tomatoes and peas. Cook for 2 minutes. Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cook until the tomatoes start to burst and the stock is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

Transfer the asparagus mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 of the Parmesan. Toss well, adding reserved pasta water, if needed, to loosen the pasta.

Garnish with remaining Parmesan and chopped basil.

Building a future for Akonjo Mike OOsterhOff Special to The Morning Star

In 2006 a connection was made between Akonjo Village in Kenya, East Africa and several residents of the North Okanagan/ Shuswap area, and local fundraising initia-

tives were put in place to support girls in the village and their educational needs.

Since 2008 an Akonjo Fair has been organized as an outdoor event, with the money raised directed towards the construction of a

girls’ washroom/change room adjoining the local school. Included in this building is space to house three sewing machines. Girls are taught sewing skills and now produce items to sell at the local market. A nursery school classroom has also been completed. This space has allowed young students to relocate their “under-a-large-tree”

classroom to an indoor space.

Funds have also been used for a women’s seed initiative and for a youth farm group requiring seeds and farming implements.

Both groups are now self-sustaining. A life skills project was started to give opportunities to youth who do not make it to high school. Young people were given the

Some ‘Fuel’ for thought

A Mother’s DAy to reMeMber

Kristina and Tyler Johnson with their new daughter, Charlotte Nina-Antoinette, 6 lbs. 11 oz., are congratulated by Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary Mother Tina Whiting on the birth of their baby, May 12. A baby sister for Wyatt, Charlotte and her parents are presented with a gift package for her birth on Mother’s Day, something the Eagles do every year, along with presenting gifts for the last baby born each year.

Sir Richard Branson, musicians Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson and Neil Young are just a few of the famous faces who appear in the movie, Fuel, which earned Audience Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

The film is being shown on Thursday at the Schubert Centre, a free presentation of the Sustainable Environment Network Society.

Selected to be shown at 20 film festivals, Fuel has won six major awards, and is the indepth personal journey of filmmaker and ecoevangelist Josh Tickell, who takes viewers on a hip, fast-paced road trip into America’s dependence on foreign oil. The film combines a history lesson of the

U.S. auto and petroleum industries and interviews with a wide range of policy makers, educators, and activists such as Woody Harrelson and Robert Kennedy Jr. Animated by powerful graphics, Fuel looks into the future offering hope via a wide-range of renewable energy and bio-fuels.

Living in the most oil-producing region of the U.S., Tickell spent 11 years making the documentary.

The film will be shown at 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Schubert Centre in Vernon, 3505-30th Ave. For more details, see www.sensociety.org

Outstanding Compassionate Care

SPCA opens doors for a day of fun Morning Star Staff

The Vernon & District Branch of the BC SPCA invites you to an animal-themed day of fun at its open house on May 25.

The event, presented by Hill’s Science Diet, takes place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Vernon & District SPCA, 4800 Haney Rd., Vernon.

Highlights of the open house include educational displays, shelter tours, a barbecue with refreshments, and a garage sale from noon to 4 p.m. In addition to a day of activities for the whole family on Saturday, the branch will promote the joy of pet guardianship over the weekend, May 24 and 25, with half-price adoption fees on all available cats, kittens and rabbits.

“We’re also asking members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Wish list items include cans of Hill’s brand wet cat and dog food, red or black KONG dog toys, cat wand or dancer toys, watering cans, CD players with detachable speakers and patio umbrellas or shade gazebos (to help shade the dogs when they are playing outside during the summer) if anyone in the community is able to help with that need.”

Chortyk says the open house is an opportunity for people to meet the animals available for adoption and to have fun learning more about how to

help animals in the community.

“We are really excited to continue our ongoing partnership with the BC SPCA for the Annual Open House series,” said Brian Howard, general manager for Hill’s Canada. “Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love partnership program with the BC SPCA is a natural extension of our mission: To help enrich and lengthen the special relationships between people and their pets.”

Chortyk said the BC SPCA is extremely grateful to Hill’s for its continuing support.

“Hill’s is a champion of homeless animals, not only through their sponsorship of our Open House series, but in their ongoing support of the dogs and cats in our care,” she said.

Hill’s donates free dry food for all dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in BC SPCA branches across the province to ensure that the animals receive a high quality and consistent pet food.

The BC SPCA adopts more than 16,000 animals each year through its 36 branches. All animals adopted are vet-checked, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and assessed for temperament. For more information, visit spca.bc.ca.

The BC SPCA’s mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia and is a not-for-profit organization reliant on donations from the public.

Vernon artists hope to ‘jam the pipeline’ Compilation CD and concert supports coastal conservation efforts and local arts organization Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

As a former wilderness tour guide, Luc Janssens has taken visitors over moss covered rock and past 1,000-plus-year-old trees of the Great Bear Rainforest and Chilcotin areas on the CentralNorth Coastal region of B.C. The Vernon resident, who is originally from Belgium, considers it to be a sacred place; one that must be protected. Not only is the area home of the Kermode, or “spirit” bear, it is where cougars, wolves, grizzly and black bears as well as abundant marine life, including salmon, dwell.

So when Canadian company Enbridge proposed an oil pipeline, running from the Alberta tar sands through to a marine terminal at Kitimat, B.C., Janssens said he had to voice his concern.

Also a videographer, he lined up a number of musicians and artists to help him.

The resulting project, Jamming the Pipeline, includes a recording, website, as well as a concert coming up in Vernon Friday, with proceeds going to Pacific Wild, a nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to protecting the B.C. coast and the area’s wildlife.

“It was on wilderness trips there that I realized that I was living in paradise,” said Janssens, who moved to B.C. in 1995.

The idea behind the Jamming the Pipeline project is to let governments and the public know what the artists feel will be the adverse consequences of the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline.

“It’s not just about the pipeline.

We are concerned for the tankers and their effect on the sea life. The

“I was fed up with myself and frustrated with what was happening and I thought I should stop talking and take action,” he said.

“You can’t say the West Coast is too far from Vernon. People here like to eat fresh salmon — if the salmon is gone, the wildlife disappears.”

The Jamming the Pipeline recording features 12 tracks, including two songs by local artist Peter McKillop.

Janssens first heard McKillop singing and playing his guitar under a tree at the Caetani Cultural Centre during one of the centre’s art markets last July.

“He was playing the begin-

ning of The Jamming Song, which ended up being the last song on the CD,” said Janssens. “I got in touch with him in mid-September.

That’s when I got the idea to make the CD and call it Jamming the Pipeline.”

As word about the project spread, Janssens gathered more local musicians, including McKillop’s sister Jayme, whose vocals can be heard on a number of the CD’s tracks.

“It had a snowball effect. We had lots of musicians who came to my house and played their beautiful music in my living room. They made some magical moments,” said Janssens, adding some of the artists’ music was pre-recorded and some was written specifically for the CD. Local hip hop artist Immaculate (Julian Wolansky), who recently won the B.C.-wide Hip-Hop Album

TOWIN!

of the Year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards, wrote and recorded his own song entitled Home Again.

The song is the first track on the CD, and features vocals provided

by Immaculate’s mom, Laryssa Wolansky.

Immaculate’s words can be heard on some of the other songs, as can contributions from percussionists Paul Langlois and Bruce Collis, cellist Bill Boyd, violinist Ben Beveridge, sarode player Daniel Stark, flamenco guitarist Lance Carr, pianist Hannah Jukes, drummer Tom Spencer and his rainstick wielding son Coda, vocalist Megan Hunter as well as Angela Roy and Moot from the Expression World Music Collective (now named Barefoot Caravan), while Henry Piovesan engineered and mixed most of the songs at his Piano Jam studio.

Also contributing songs to the

project are Ontario-based harmonica master Carlos del Junco, whose Bailey’s Bounce was originally recorded for his Steady Movin’ album, and Kian Water, whose song ABC’s is from his album Deconstructing Maya.

With layout and design by Janssens, the CD cover and jacket also features the visual art of silk painter Catalina Thiers, wildlife photography by Pacific Wild’s Ian McAllister, logo design by Samantha Benesh, graphic design

by Tricea Cooney, while the website has been designed by Elizabeth Heathcote.

“We are using multi-media to make our point,” said Janssens, adding he has contacts with the film industry and hopes to place a video of the concert on YouTube.

“The musicians have all donated their time, and I have invested several thousands of dollars in this.”

Most of the musicians on the CD are also scheduled to perform at the Jamming the Pipeline concert.

A family affair, early childhood educator Angela Roy has offered a dance number featuring some of her young students, while Janssens’ son, Nolan, an actor in Vancouver, will perform a monologue. Local musician Mikkal Waters has also been lined up to perform. And the short film Oil in Eden, provided by Pacific Wild, will be shown before the music starts.

The concert will be emceed by local actor Matt Brown, owner of The Hub Arts Collective.

Not only is the show supporting Pacific Wild, it is also supporting The Hub Arts Collective and local artists, said Janssens.

“The result is, we hope, that Jamming the Pipeline will grow organically and show that artists are willing to do something to protect our future.”

Friday’s Jamming the Pipeline concert at Powerhouse Theatre starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $22, available at the Ticket Seller (5497469, www.ticketseller.ca) and the Bean Scene coffee house. For more information, visit jammingthepipeline.com

This Gatsby is not-so great

T

he mysterious Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) is only known for throwing lavish parties at his Long Island mansion.

When a would be novelist/ stockbroker, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) moves into the small house next door, Gatsby sees it as an opportunity to get closer to Carraway’s cousin, the beautiful but married Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan).

Through the development Taylor & Howe of these relationships, the mystery of The Great Gatsby is revealed and becomes a cautionary tale of excess in search of the American dream.

We say, “It is bright, dull and all over the place.”

TAYLOR: I was looking forward to this one, mostly because it is directed by Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge).

He has a distinct style that puts him on my “ones to watch” list. If you like shiny, frantic production numbers and flapper style remakes of modern tunes, Gatsby is for you. Or at least the first 30 minutes of it is.

HOWE: I should have loved it then, yet I didn’t. I think it has more to do with the acting than the look.

This has to be one of DiCaprio’s worst performances. I would even say as bad as Titanic. He didn’t really say that much, when he did it was with a ter-

Warner Bros.

Leonardo DiCaprio toasts the many “old sports” in The Great Gatsby. rible American/English hybrid accent that didn’t seem right and uses the phrase “old sport” way too many times.

Maguire can’t act. His eyes are wide open looking surprised all the time, and his whining high, voice grates me. Mulligan, who is a fantastic actress, looked like a deer in the headlights, lost and confused, but maybe that was her character.

TAYLOR: You could make a decent drinking game out the number of “old sports” in the picture. It might make the film a little more entertaining, perhaps help glaze over the barrage of golden noise that flashes out at you.

HOWE: Not really, that wouldn’t even numb the terrible performances. I did like the sound track though. It’s very hypnotic and when you’re watching the party scene it does feel like you are there with your glass of bubbly in one hand, party popper in the other and one of those whistle things that unravel when you blow it.

TAYLOR: Luhrmann takes a classic, it seems, so that he can have quality to gloss up and amplify. He did so with Romeo + Juliet, which worked. While Gatsby is in keeping with his format and definitely a tale worthy of the big screen, perhaps even with the Luhrmann treatment, the film still comes across as dull. It has a strange fuzziness to it, a kind of distracting quality that starts to annoy. When the tragedy of the tale becomes apparent, the trip becomes a bummer. So I’ll say it’s a good Gatsby, not great.

— Howe gives The Great Gatsby 2.5 polo mallets out of 5.

—Taylor gives it 3.5 pairs of wooden sunglasses out of 5.

The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

It’ll be St. Paddy’s Day all over again when two local musicians celebrate “Erin Go Bragh” (Ireland forever) and have some good “craic” (good times).

Sally “O’Malley” Evans and Molly “Malone” Boyd are hoping to steal your heart away with the lilting tunes of Ireland when they bring Songs of the Emerald Isle to the Schubert Centre Thursday.

Well known throughout the Okanagan for their musical tribute to the songs of the Second World War, Evans and Boyd put their heads together to come up with a theme featuring beautiful songs to “warm the cockles of your hearts and songs so full of the blarney they will have your Irish eyes smiling,” said Evans.

Phantom at Headbones

Those who missed Phantom of the Opera’s Peter Karrie and local soprano Melina Moore perform at Vernon’s Sparkling Hill Resort last week now have another chance to catch their show in Vernon.

Headbones Gallery is hosting the duo, who will perform the best from Broadway, including Phantom, at the art gallery on Old Kamloops Road Thursday at 8 p.m.

Limited tickets are $25 from the Bean Scene or call Headbones Gallery 250-542-8987 to reserve.

“Being Irish is a state of mind and that there is a little Irish in the best of us and not enough Irish in the worst of us,” she added.

Both women invite their audience to wear green and be Irish for the day.

And if you happen to have a shillelagh

(wooden walking stick) the gals could borrow for the show, call Evans at 250-542-0739.

Tickets for Thursday’s Songs from the Emerald Isle are $8 in advance at the Schubert Centre and at the door if still available. Doors open at 1 p.m. and showtime is 2 to 4 p.m.

Capsule Comments with

KYLE BREWER It has been 25 years since a new antidepressant, Prozac (fluoxetine), came on the market. It heralded a new class of antidepressant drugs, the serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Since this discovery, there have been many other drugs that have been developed to improve the lives of people living with depression.

When journalists show a picture of a doctor, there is usually a stethoscope hanging around the doctor’s neck. In the not too distant future, this doctor symbol may be history. General Electric has developed a pocket-sized ultra-sound device doctors can carry with them to be able to do cardiac, abdominal, obstetric, urinary and pediatric exams at the bedside.

It’s on the market now but is quite expensive.

Blood pressure varies throughout the day. It usually peaks by mid-afternoon then slowly drops to its lowest while we sleep. Coffee, smoking, exercise and stress can increase it while calming activities like meditation and yoga can lower it.

Having an overactive bladder and not be near a bathroom can be very disconcerting. About 20% of Canadians have this urgency to urinate. There are oral prescription medications to help this problem but may have some side effects. There is a gel available that comes in pre-measured 1 gram doses to be applied once daily to the abdomen to help control urinary urgency. See your doctor.

Ukrainian traditions celebrated Morning Star Staff

Celebrating its 14th year and 21st theatrical dance production, Vernon’s Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble is ready to bring some of Eastern European culture to local audiences once again.

Choreographed by artistic director Andrea Malysh, who has 30 years experience in Ukrainian folk dance and ethnographic studies, this year’s dance theatre production is called Vesna: A Springtime Celebration.

The dances and brightly coloured costumes come from various regions of the Ukraine and celebrate the Easter tradition of hahilky, or spring dances, said Malysh.

“This excitingly vibrant and colourful dance is always enjoyed by audiences of both Ukrainians and nonUkrainians alike,” she said.

Hahilky comes from the time on Easter Sunday when young girls performed in front of the church or in the cemetery. In pagan times, hahilky was performed in sacred groves by the water.

“These group dances, songs, games and dramatic scenes were believed to serve a magical function with the aim of enticing spring and chasing winter away,” said Malysh,

The Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble celebrates its 14th anniversary dance performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, May 26. adding there was also a group of hahilky that spoke about the beauty and industriousness of young maidens, since spring was also a time when love blossomed.

Sadok will also celebrate the Easter and spring tradition of decorating eggs, known as pysanky, and is dedicating its concert to “Auntie” Lena Kucher, who Malysh says shared her beautiful pysanky and traditions to many during her life.

Pysanky can be directly traced back to the Bronze Era 5,000 years ago, when the Trypillian culture prospered in Ukraine.

The earliest designs mirrored man’s close relationship to the soil and other aspects of nature, said Malysh.

“Ukrainian folk art is based on these early symbols. At various times of the year or at points of passage in a

person’s life they took on mystical meaning.

Colours and designs came into being to be representative of nature and life itself,” she said.

Children were given pysanky with floral designs in a usually light colour, while teenagers would receive pysanky with predominantly white colouring to signify the blank page of their future.

Married couples were given pysanky with the popular 40 triangles design which in Ukrainian culture symbolized the 40 tasks of life, said Malysh, adding an older person of advanced age received black pysanky with belts, ladders and gates to remind them of their bridge to heaven.

“This practice of giving pysanky became part of the Ukrainian tradition and also served as a means of preserving and continuing the art of pysanky itself. For centuries the designs and symbols used on pysanky were handed down from mother to daughter.

The cultural heritage of the Ukrainian nation was entrusted this way.”

This summer, Sadok will return to Ukraine to once again enjoy the beautiful country, visit family and study dance at the Yunist Dance studio at the Palace of Culture in Lviv.

Joining Sadok at their spring celebration will be the Dolyna Ukrainian Dancers of Kelowna.

The concert takes place at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday, May 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20/ adult, $10/pre-school, at the Ticket Seller, 5497469, www.ticketseller. ca.

Visitors can overlook Oxford’s spires from 13th century St Martin’s Tower, also known as the Carfax Tower, in the city centre.

An academic heritage chris millikan Special To The Morning Star

BRITAIN - An esteemed university town since the mid-13th century, Oxford recently educates us with some remarkable sights, starting with renowned Oxford University itself.

At first, visitors like us are surprised to find no single campus and we soon realize that its 38 distinguished colleges are scattered throughout this walkable historic town.

Too daunting a task to see them all, we concentrate on locating the earliest.

Lavishly embellished with gargoyle spigots and dramatic grotesques; towers and turrets; meticulous garden quads and even age-old climbing wisteria, we locate University 1249, which expelled Shelley for his unruly behaviour; Balliol, 1263; Merton, 1264; Exeter, 1314; Queens, 1340, where astronomer Edmund Halley studied and Jesus College founded by Elizabeth I. St Hilda’s was one of the first colleges to enroll women in 1893.

Considered the most beautiful with its pastoral riverside location, deer park and Addison Walk, Magdalen college’s square medieval bell tower still rises above High Street.

Here, Roundhead rebels captured Charles I during the Civil War. Opposite, we find the Botanic Gardens established in 1621 to grow medicinal plants, as well as to promote the furtherance of learning.

The university’s Bodleian, one of Europe’s oldest libraries, houses 50,000 Latin manuscripts, 11,000 rare items and more than million books.

Seating ourselves on the Divinity School’s archaic wooden benches, our guide tells us that for many years, oral examinations for all colleges were held in this hallowed chamber, the venerable

Historic Trout Inn’s terrace is a favourite haunt around Oxford. teaching and examination room established in 1427.

Considered the most aristocratic of all the colleges, Christ Church College’s 12th century Norman cathedral serves all of Oxford. Its Tom Tower great bell tolls each evening at 9 p.m.

In addition to academics, this magnificent college has long been connected with children’s literature and more recently, with movie making.

Years ago, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was written here. Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited and Philip Pullman’s novel Northern Lights were set throughout this college.

And we visit wizard world during our enchanting afternoon, locating spots where magical scenes for JK Rowling’s

Harry Potter series were filmed: around Tom quad, the 1,000-year-old cloisters and spectacular 16th century staircase leading to high-ceilinged Great Hall, the inspiration for Hogwarts Great Hall.

Established in 1683, Britain’s first public museum helped educate this scholarly community.

The Ashmolean was originally built to house a remarkable collection of curiosities donated to Oxford University by Elias Ashmole.

Nowadays, five floors of galleries exhibit extensive, wondrous collections including Egyptian sculptures; Michaelangelo’s drawings; antiquities from Knossis and Pisarro’s Portrait of Jeanne.

Oxford also exudes English history all along its winding cobbled streets.

At the junction of four ancient routes in the town centre, the remains of 13th century St. Martin’s church rises 23-meters.

Climbing the tower’s 99 narrow stone steps, we gaze over Oxford’s spires, and identify Saxon Tower dating to1040, the city’s oldest structure.

Afterward, we stroll the remains of Oxford Castle near the birthplace of King Richard and brother John.

A bus later takes us to the 17th century Trout Inn just outside Oxford.

Seated on its sunny terrace sipping Pimms, we watch mallards cadge tidbits, gaze into the rushing Thames.

Back downtown, the Victorian-styled Town Hall’s museum provides two small galleries that teach us about Oxford’s development since its 810 founding.

In the modern gallery, we take four virtual bike rides around town, reviewing sites we’d already encountered on foot, a perfect way to wrap up our informative stay in Oxford.

Epp re-elected as Interior chair Morning Star Staff

Elmer Epp of Kamloops has been re-elected as chairperson of Interior Savings Credit Union after its annual general meeting earlier this month.

Epp is an associate at the law firm of Epp Cates Oien in Kamloops, and is now beginning his 12th year as chair. He was also recently elected to the board of Central 1 Credit Union.

At Interior Savings’ AGM in Kelowna, members heard about the credit union’s 2013 financial results, recent accomplishments and plans for the upcoming year.

“Despite an uncertain Elmer Epp global economic environment, Interior Savings enjoyed another successful year in 2012,” said Epp. “Total assets of Interior Savings exceeded the $2 billion mark, representing an asset growth of $23.9 million during the year. This achievement is attributable to careful business planning and the continued support of our members, employees, and communities.”

Since 2002, Interior Savings has returned more than $45 million to members through its rewards program. In 2012, it shared more than $3.35 million with its members through the program.

Also at the AGM, the Central/North Okanagan region saw the re-election through acclamation of incumbent directors Don Grant and Bianca Iafrancesco, each for three-year terms. Paul Neustaedter was declared elected to the board for a one-year term.

The Thompson/South Okanagan Region saw the re-election through acclamation of incumbent directors Gordon Matthews and Stephanie Teare, each for three-year terms. A special resolution to amend the credit union rules was also approved.

The Vernon-based company collected the honour at the Canadian Health Food Association’s Expo West in Vancouver.

Nature’s Fare nets top retailer Morning Star Staff

Healthy food has translated into healthy business for Nature’s Fare Markets.

The Vernon-based company recently received the Brock Elliot Memorial Award for Excellence in Retailing by the Canadian Health Food Association.

Nature’s Fare is the only business to have won it four times.

Presented at the association’s Expo

West last month in Vancouver, the award recognizes a retailer that exhibits superior product knowledge, innovative store concept and design, exceptional marketing and merchandising, active community involvement, and who ethically and responsibly supports the health food industry.

“This award would not be possible if it was not for our amazing staff, customers

here are two important annual events coming up that businesses can attend.

First up is the Mayor’s and Planner’s Breakfast this Thursday, sponsored by Okanagan College. The event has been changed up this year and participants will now have the opportunity to George Duffy gain more valuable interaction with staff from the city, the district and the region.

The breakfast will be held at the Village

Chamber News

Green Hotel at 7:30, with the main event starting at 8:00. The presentations will begin giving overviews of changes, updates and new information from the city and regions.

After the overview presentations, the staff will set up in a small business round table format. This will allow businesses to learn more about the areas they have a specific interest in such as developments in Coldstream and RDNO, and with different departments with the City of Vernon.

All in all, it will be a lively and valuable exchange of information and a chance to make direct contact with the staff.

One of the most effective, and least expensive, forms of tourism marketing is

to make sure that all the tourism partners in the region know about your business.

The annual tourism exchange and speed networking event happens after work on Tuesday, May 28 at the Best Western Vernon Lodge.

This is an incredibly energetic event that generates more contacts for you in one hour than you can make at any other function. It’s very important to attend as this is the only time you’ll have to exchange brochures and connect with the other tourism businesses in the region before summer.

Everyone is welcome. The registration fee is $25, which covers food and refreshments, speed networking forum and tour-

and the communities we are a part of,” said Chantelle Keith, Nature’s Fare marketing manager.

Since opening the first location in Kelowna’s Orchard Plaza in 1994 (the Vernon store opened just over a year later), Nature’s Fare now has three other Okanagan locations – Penticton, West Kelowna and Kamloops – plus a new store in Langley.

ism brochure exchange.

For more information, and to register for either of these events, contact the chamber office at 250-545-0771.

On Tuesday (the first day back after Victoria Day long weekend), is the monthly Business After 5, in cooperation with the Downtown Vernon Association (DVA).

The new Pacific Inn and Suites with Ricky’s All Day Grill are this month’s sponsors, so you’ll get a chance to see their new facility and reconnect with all your business contacts.

Chamber and DVA members are welcome, no registration is necessary.

Given the nice weather, the folks at Noble Tractor weren’t sure what the turnout would be at their recent 50th anniversary celebration in Armstrong.

During this time of year, farmers eagerly take advantage of the sunny weather to plant their fields.

However, many of them took a little time to help the Nobles celebrate.

“So many folks stopped their work on their farms and made a point of coming for lunch and a visit before going back to work,” said Brenda Noble, operations manager.

“That made it pretty special, too. We had folks

Noble estimates more than 300 people turned up for the event, which featured educational seminars and a barbecue beef on a bun lunch put on by Valley Auction’s Don Raffan.

As part of the event, Noble Tractor’s Jack Noble received a plaque of recognition from Blois Beer, a rep from the company’s main farm tractor and equipment supplier – CNH Canada – for 50 years as a dealer.

Case tractors have been Noble’s flagship brand since they began the business in 1963.

mind.

Perhaps you are planting some flowers in your garden, or helping to plant trees in your community. That act of planting and nurturing trees can also guide our behaviour in other areas of life, such as investing. First of all, consider the vision and patience exhibited by tree growers when they plant their saplings.

As an investor, you, too, need this type of perseverance and long-term outlook. When you invest, you should be focused on the long term yet be prepared for the inevitable short-term Ben Moore market downturns.

How long is long term?

Many investors hold quality investments for decades. It’s a long process, but the potential growth you seek will need this time.

What else can you, as an investor, learn from tree planters? For one thing, be aware of how they keep their orchards healthy. By providing proper irrigation and disease-prevention measures, they help their trees stay on the long path toward maturity. Similarly, you need to nurture your investment portfolio by continually providing it with the financial resources it needs to stay healthy.

During periods of market volatility, it can be tempting to take a time-out from investing, but if you do, you’ll miss out on the potential growth

opportunities that may follow. Since no one can really predict the beginnings and endings of either up or down markets, you are better off by staying invested. Also, just as horticulturists take steps to keep their trees from being subject to disease, you can keep your portfolio in good shape by periodically pruning it of investments that no longer meet your needs.

Here’s something else that tree planters can teach us – diversification. Consider an orchard that contains several different fruit trees. Its commercial benefits may be greater than a comparable orchard that only grows apples. Plus, the presence of a variety of trees can prove beneficial if disease strikes one type.

As an investor, you don’t want to own just one type of financial asset, such as growth stocks, because if a downturn hits this segment, your entire portfolio could take a big hit. A better strategy would be to populate your financial orchard with a variety of investments – such as stocks, bonds and government securities – that are suitable for your situation (keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss).

You can learn some valuable lessons from tree planting that could prove helpful to you as you chart your course for the future, and you won’t have to go out on a limb to put these strategies in place.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC-Core™ UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health.

People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works - if you can see results with animals - and we do.”

UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand.

There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild product out, and they often did!” phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 consider it one on the greenest companies in the health food stores across Canada, in stores world.

FEELING the PINCH? Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

WITH MORE POINTS, JUMP ON ROUND TWO Warren Buffett said, “I don’t look to jump over seven-foot bars; I look around for one-foot bars that I can step over.”

At the bridge table, if you have the necessary values, sometimes you have to jump. But at least you can do it while staying firmly anchored in your chair.

With that huge hint, it should not be hard to work out what South should rebid in today’s deal, after opening one heart and hearing partner respond one spade.

South should rebid three hearts, which shows at least a six-card suit and typically seven winners. This usually equates to 15 or 16 high-card points (perhaps an excellent

14 or an uninteresting 17).

This hand is a maximum, but that does not hurt occasionally.

The play in four hearts should not be so tough. After West takes three club tricks and shifts to a spade, South wins the fourth trick with his king, draws trumps, unblocks the diamond ace, crosses to the spade ace, and discards his last spade on the diamond king.

As a defensive point, how should East card so that West knows he can cash three club tricks?

There are actually two solutions. A few pairs lead the queen from ace-king-queen, partner being asked to give a count signal. Here, therefore, East would play first the six, then the three, to show an

even number. Alternatively, if West starts with the club ace, East would play his three to deny the queen, the honor touching the two promised

by West’s lead. Then, West should continue with the club queen and East should signal remaining count, playing the four to say that he has an odd number left.
