Fledgling MLA gets new duties RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Greg Kyllo was only elected Shuswap MLA May 14, but he’s already making a name for himself in Victoria.

Premier Christy Clark named Kyllo as parliamentary secretary for the B.C. Jobs Plan while unveiling her new cabinet Friday.

“I’m delighted. It will be a great learning opportunity,” he said.

“It will take a few weeks to get my feet under myself, but I have lots of enthusiasm.”

A government release states that Kyllo, owner of Twin Anchors Houseboats, “will use his experience as a business owner to work with government to update and continue implementing the B.C. Jobs Plan.”

Kyllo will report to Shirley Bond, jobs, tourism and skills training minister.

“Shirley Bond is one of the hardest working ministers in government and I

“It will be a great learning opportunity.”

look forward to working with her,” said Kyllo, adding he is confident the plan will provide much-needed jobs across the province.

Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, returns as the Liberal caucus whip in the Legislature.

“There’s quite a bit to the job and I’m pleased to do that,” he said.

Among the whip’s duties are ensuring party MLAs are present for votes and taking part in discussions in the House and on committees.

Norm Letnick, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA, has been replaced by Pat Pimm, Peace River North MLA, as agriculture minister.

Regional District of North Okanagan officials had worked closely with Letnick on changing meat processing regulations.

Now they will have to bring Pimm up to speed.

“There’s always a challenge with that,” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson.

“I look forward to working with minister Pimm.”

Letnick is parliamentary secretary to the premier for intergovernmental affairs.

“I was a little surprised (with Letnick moving) but the premier must divide the cabinet up between the regions and talents,” said Foster.

“Everyone wants to be part of the executive council and there’s not room for everyone.”

Letnick, who only learned of his new

position late Thursday afternoon, said he has yet to find out what it will entail.

A government news release said the position of parliamentary secretary to the premier for intergovernmental affairs will have him working with the provincial Intergovernmental Relations Secretariat in the premier office to further the interests of B.C. at intergovernmental events.

Clark’s cabinet also includes Rich Coleman in natural gas development, Suzanne Anton in justice, Peter Fassbender in education, Mary Polak in environment, Steve Thomson in forestry and Terry Lake in health.

Amrik Virk is the minister of advanced education while John Rustad is responsible for aboriginal relations.

“There’s a good mix of old and new and everything will go well,” said Foster of the cabinet.

Montessori school facing closure roger knox Morning Star Staff

From the outside, it’s a portable on a school ground.

On the inside, there is a play area, a small kitchen, mats, books, tables, chairs and pictures of the three, four and five-year-old kids Valerie Brousseau and her two-person staff instruct three hours a day, twice a day.

The portable, on Okanagan Landing Elementary School grounds, is the home of Creekside Montessori Children’s School, which also offers a kindergarten program.

It has been Brousseau’s office for nearly 10 years, but it’s her life and her passion.

And the doors to her office are being closed.

Brousseau’s lease agreement with the Vernon School District, which was extended for one more year in May 2012, expires at the end of this month. And, in two years of searching, Brousseau has yet to find a suitable replacement.

If nothing can be found by September, Creekside Montessori’s doors could be closing.

“I don’t know what I can do, I don’t know where I can go,” said Brousseau. “There will be a lot of sad parents and children.”

Brousseau said the school district is moving her portable to Lumby to house an alternative education program. She has been looking to lease a portable or find a property to house her school with no results.

“With lack of parking, zoning types and the costs of commercial buildings, we are not having any luck,” she said.

Looking to buy, rent or lease, Brousseau needs a property that has room for 15 to 20

Laine krahn (left) and Valerie Brousseau are concerned the doors of Creekside Montessori Children’s School are in danger of closing unless a new home for the school can be found. parking spaces. She would need about 800 to 1,000 square-feet to house a pre-school program, but as she’s looking to expand, Brousseau would also look at 1,000 to 1,100 square-feet of property.

She would also require a small outside play area.

Since she began Creekside Montessori, where the bottom line is respect, Brousseau

has taught close to 300 students. She currently has two classes of 20 kids – one morning, one afternoon – and is full for September with a waiting list.

“Once people are here, they stay for years, they keep having babies,” said Brousseau.

“Some families we’ve had for 10 years.”

Shellaina Goldenberg and her family moved to Vernon two years ago and were

trying to find a place for their son when she stumbled upon Creekside Montessori.

“We picked Valerie’s program after being in her classroom, meeting the staff and getting such a caring feeling,” said Goldenberg.

“They’re genuine and you know your kid’s in good hands.”

For Yusula Choe, Brousseau’s program is perfect for her four-year-old boy.

“He likes the work aspect,” said Choe.

“He likes the place but he’s more into working than playing. Montessori offers that. He thrives in that type of environment.”

Goldenberg and Choe are anxious about the school’s future.

“We’re looking at every other option but it’s a fit for us,” said Goldenberg. “When that option might not be there, it’s scary.”

Added Choe: “We didn’t explore any other options for kindergarten so we’re hoping Valerie finds another location.”

It’s a school that has also given back to the community.

Students read every week with the two public Montessori programs at Okanagan Landing Elementary. They collect bottles, bring in coins and donate the money to the Sun FM Have A Heart Radiothon.

Twice a year, Creekside Montessori hosts a book sale to raise money to buy Spanish books for a daycare in Mexico and donate school supplies.

And at Christmas, the school adopts a large family from North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society (NOYFSS) to make someone’s holiday extra special.

Anybody who can help Creekside Montessori find a new home is asked to call Valerie at the school at 250-545-7150, or e-mail creeksidemontessori1@gmail.com.

Councillor drops volunteer activities after court decision richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The courts have forced an Enderby politician to back away from volunteer activities.

C o u n .

Brad Case has resigned from the Enderby Brad Case Chamber of Commerce board because a recent B.C. Court of Appeals ruling states elected officials are in conflict of inter-

est when participating in a nonprofit society that receives civic funding.

“There are only a certain number of people that can do these activities in a community and this ruling narrows the pool,” said Case.

Besides reducing an already limited volunteer base, Case says municipalities won’t have a sense of what community groups do.

“Small councils get a lot of benefit from direct contact with community groups.”

Case insists he has been able to separate his elected duties from

his volunteer role.

The January Court of Appeals ruling relates to a case from the Gulf Islands, and the implications are a source of concern among B.C. local governments.

“The Union of B.C. Municipalities is currently assessing the situation and is gathering input from local government on what action is needed to address this,” states the UBCM. The Enderby Chamber of Commerce is upset with the position Case was put in by the courts.

“In smaller communities, this will negatively impact a number

of non-profit society boards,” said Corrine Peard, chamber manager.

“Elected officials build ties to their community by participating on these boards and, as a result of this decision, many city councillors will be stepping down from their positions in non-profit organizations. This could lead to a disconnect in relationships between city representatives and the nonprofit organizations that receive local government funding.”

Howie Cyr, Enderby’s mayor, doesn’t believe the court ruling makes sense.

“It’s troubling. There are a lot

of people in municipal government who volunteer,” he said.

Lake search fails to find anything Morning Star Staff

RCMP are confident that a float plane did not crash into Kalamalka Lake Friday.

Witnesses reported at about 11 a.m. seeing what they believed was a plane going down

in the lake between Cosens Bay and Rattlesnake Point.

“It’s a false alarm,” said Gord Molendyk, with the Vernon RCMP. “We can’t see where any plane is unaccounted for. It’s pos-

R C M P , Conservation officers and Search and Rescue crews spent several hours scouring the lake, by foot, on boat and with an RCMP helicopter.

Several residents in the Cosens Bay cabin colony reported seeing something in the water after observing a float plane doing touch-andgos.

One witness reported seeing, “a long white thing, it looked like the underside of a whale.

“It was moving slower than the current,” the witness told The Morning Star.

Despite concerns that it may have been the underside of a plane that witnesses saw, crews could not locate anything in the lake.

News MP confident in prime minister richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes insists he does not get marching orders from the prime minister’s office.

Edmonton MP Brent Rathgeber has left the Conservative caucus to sit as an independent, saying that administration isn’t transparent enough and tells backbenchers what to do.

“I don’t feel I’ve been compromised,” said Mayes.

“Any time there’s an issue of concern for my constituents, I Colin Mayes get access to a minister.”

Mayes says he also recently voted against most of the Conservative caucus on giving provinces the authority to sanction extreme fighting and there were no repercussions.

In a CBC report, Rathgeber says staff in the prime minister’s office try to keep MPs in line.

“When you have a PMO that tightly scripts its backbenches like this one attempts to do, MPs don’t represent their constituents in Ottawa, they represent the government to their constituents,” he said.

However, Mayes insists that is not his experience.

“There is a process and channels to get concerns across to the prime minister. There is caucus meetings and you can go and see the prime minister. He is open to that,” said Mayes.

Rathgeber is upset that his private member’s bill on CBC and public service disclosure and transparency was changed by a committee.

He also questions the ongoing Senate expense scandal.

“I joined the Reform/Conservative movements because I thought we were somehow different, a band of Ottawa outsiders riding into town to clean the place up, promoting open government and accountability. I barely recognize ourselves, and worse, I fear we have morphed into what we once mocked,” said Rathgeber on his blog.

Mayes admits there is a public perception about how tax dollars are used.

“When there are MPs and senators, there will be issues where people have poor judgement.

It paints the whole party but we’ve allowed the auditor general to scrutinize these things,” he said.

“It is my hope that through the auditor general, people will see there is no conspiracy.”

Mayes says his activities are an open book.

“I post my expense and my whole budget on the website and I have nothing to hide,” he said.

Residents reminded of restrictions Morning Star Staff

Vernon residents considering putting a garage, garden shed, flagpole or any other structure in their front yard may want to think again.

Bylaw Enforcement Officers often get complaints for people placing secondary structures on their front yard. Typical secondary structures may include: large propane tanks, flagpoles, garages, portable garages, canvas carports and garden sheds.

Clint Kanester “A lot of people don’t realize that a front setback includes both the front yard and the front driveway,” said Clint Kanester, manager of bylaw enforcement.

“Secondary structures are not permitted on either.”

The zoning bylaw dictates that secondary buildings or structures, excluding fences, are not permitted in a front yard or front driveway.

A secondary building or structure means: A separate building or structure, normally ancillary,

Mabel Lake sewer costly richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Accessing water and sewer could be a costly proposition for residents of one Kingfisher neighbourhood.

The Regional District of North Okanagan will hold a petition process to determine if North Lakeshore property owners are willing to pay for the extension of sewer and water lines from the Mabel Lake utility.

“There are people avid they want it and people adamant they don’t want to pay for it,” said director Jackie Pearase.

Presently, North Lakeshore properties are served by private shallow water intakes in Mabel Lake and they do not meet Canadian drinking water guidelines.

In terms of effluent, it’s believed some properties may have failing septic systems and the sewer service is close at hand.

However, there would be a price to pay for extending both services.

The estimated cost to construct water main extensions is $691,000, meaning there would be a per property capital cost of $22,290. For sewer, the total price tag is $2,675,882, which translates into a per property capital cost of $19,532 and a connec-

“There are people avid they want it.”

tion fee of $1,600.

In total there are 31 properties that would get water and 137 properties that would get sewer.

Pearase admits the financial impact on residents could be steep but she believes sewer is essential to protect Mabel Lake.

“This is at least the second time this (proposal) has been done and it failed then. I hope people’s appreciation of the environment has increased,” she said.

Pearase also believes sewer connections could have a positive financial benefit.

“The difference between an outhouse and an indoor toilet is a big selling point for someone’s property value,” she said.

If the petition processes are successful, construction could be done in the fall of 2013 or the spring of 2014.

Many homes built between the late 70s and the early 90s experience sealed unit failure. Unit failure leads to condensation forming between the two layers of glass causing them to steam and fog up.

Yes, the only real solution is to replace the sealed unit. You only need to replace the glass not the frame which means it can be done easily with a minimum amount of disruption.

Westside Road the worst again wade paterson Black Press

For the second year in a row, the British Columbia Automobile Association has named Westside Road the worst road in the province.

Westside Road earned about 250 of the 2,000 votes in the third annual BCAA Worst Roads survey.

The total was about 100 more than second place B.C. Parkway, a bike path in Vancouver.

Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice president of Road Assist, said the survey is done to put a spotlight on some of the most troublesome roads in the province.

“We know that poor roads create unsafe situations for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

Improving road safety for B.C. is a top priority for BCAA.” In 2012, the province committed $4.5 million for the realignment and widening of two sections along Westside Road: Near Blue Grouse Road and at Cinnabar Creek.

“Our objective is not to dismiss the good work that’s going on,” said Cousin.

“Based on the votes, (we) see that road users still feel more work needs to be done.”

Voters identified 581 separate stretches of road in B.C. they felt were unsafe, heavily congested or in desperate need of repair.

An accident slows traffic down along Westside Road.

It has been named the worst road in B.C. by a BCAA survey.

Eighty-nine per cent of those who voted for Westside Road cited potholes and crumbling pavement as the top concern.

In the coming weeks, the association will provide the complete survey results to municipalities and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to encourage improvements.

On that show Cops, every time they show up to arrest some guy, he answers the door (or climbs out the back window) shirtless. It’s as if shirts hurt criminals the way Kryptonite hurts Superman: “Don’t let it touch my skin, it burns!”

Jim Mullen Do their shirts cause a rash, or are they just trying to keep them clean for their parole officers? You don’t want to show up for an important meeting with crack ashes all over your only shirt, do you?

Going skimpy is one thing if you’re the reigning Mr. or Miss America; it’s quite another if you’re just some ordinary working schlub waiting to buy a soft-serve ice cream cone in the summer heat.

I don’t want to stand behind you wondering if you comb your back hair or if it just naturally looks that way. And it can’t be good for the soft-serve ice cream business if you’re making the other customers so sick that they get out of line.

I remember the first time I saw a sign that said, “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” It struck me as extremely funny that you would have to tell someone that they’re expected to wear a shirt and shoes when they’re not actually on the beach.

Doesn’t everyone know that? Or is there a sign on the inside of everyone’s front door that says, “Don’t forget to wear pants today!”

I grew up near a beach town with plenty

VillAgE idiot

of tourists. Just because they were on vacation, they didn’t seem to think that they had suddenly turned into swimsuit models with buns of steel or that they should suddenly start dressing as if they had gotten there by hopping a freight train.

They seemed to know that it’s not right to break fashion rules on vacation any more than it is to break traffic laws.

If you don’t have any muscles, don’t wear a muscle-T. You don’t look tough; you look like a suspect.

If you are not an Olympic swimmer or diver, or European, do not wear a Speedo. I’m not nearly as afraid of creeping European-style socialism as I am of creepy European-style beachwear.

Don’t put that white zinc oxide on your nose if you’re not a lifeguard. Even if you are a lifeguard, it’s questionable. It makes you look as if you were on your way to a war dance but it got cancelled due to good weather. Sunscreen and a hat will work just fine, and I’m talking about a real hat, not one that holds two beer cans.

Wear age-appropriate clothing. Spandex is not supposed to have wrinkles. If you have the body of a shuffleboarder, don’t dress like you’re a volleyballer. You may win the volleyball match, but only by default because everyone else has left in disgust.

Wearing black socks on the beach is even worse than wearing a tie on the beach. Which is even worse than wearing a thong. The worst possible beach outfit? Black socks with a thong.

If Jimmy Buffett won’t wear it, should you?

If you limbo under his very low fashion bar, it will be hard to tell if you’re on vacation or just a local on a bender.

Unless your name is Elly May, leave the cutoff short-shorts at home. Let It All Hang Out is a song, not fashion advice. Save it for when you’re alone at the cement pond.

One has to wonder when B.C. Court of Appeal judges volunteered in their community?

If they did, they would understand there is an extremely short supply of individuals who willingly give up their own time to help organizations around them.

And it’s increasingly difficult to get people to lend a hand as life seems to get busier.

So what did the B.C. Court of Appeals do? They have made it more difficult for groups to attract volunteers by declaring that elected officials are in conflict of interest when participating in a non-profit society that receives civic funding.

In Enderby, there has already been one casualty as Coun. Brad Case has resigned from his role with the chamber of commerce.

That’s unfortunate as Case brought a wealth of business and community experience to the chamber. And, in turn, he could provide knowledge about the chamber’s inner workings to his council colleagues.

Many communities, and particularly small ones, don’t have the luxury of differentiating between people who sit on municipal council or regional district and those who volunteer with a service agency or business group. Often multiple hats are worn.

Yes conflict of interest can occur but there is provincial legislation that clearly outlines the guidelines. And the simple solution is for a politician not to be involved in the discussion on a group they belong to, particularly if that organization receives public funding.

The provincial government needs to review the court ruling and make changes to legislation to ensure conflicts are avoided while allowing volunteerism to continue.

Stop the roundabout

oldstream council, are you listening? Just in case you are for once, stop wasting my money.

Leave the Kidston Road/Kalamalka Road intersection the way it is.

Why is Coldstream always willing to bend over for just a select few? Speed bumps on West Kal and Postill for example. What about some speed bumps for Kalamalka Road or how about Highway 6? Lots of people are speeding on those roads.

Just joking. Please don't apply for another grant.

20Th sTreeT I feel I must respond to a letter on May 22nd by Tammy Schiewe regarding the questionable upgrades to 20th Street. I notice that this person does not live on this street so probably doesn't spend much time here except for driving her kids to school. She hasn't had to deal with the fact that our property has been devalued due to not having parking for our guests and customers.

Having said that, how has this made kids safer? I read the paper and watch the news and haven't seen an incident where a child has been run over anywhere in Vernon in several years, even around schools that are skirted by four-lane highways.

I've watched more near misses on this street since the ridiculous changes were made. I've seen traffic backed up by kids taking turns pushing the stop traffic button and then slowly walking across, then the next kid does the same. I saw three boys take turns stopping in the middle of the cross walk to do push-ups, one after the other with people blowing their horns. This I reported to the police and was told to take pictures. When traffic is backed up, kids often ignore the crosswalks and cross between stopped cars. I've seem several incidents of kids on bikes playing chicken with moving cars, riding bikes and skateboards down the the middle of the street instead of on the ridiculously wide paved path or bike path supplied for this

❙

Is it really necessary to interrupt traffic 24 hours a day for everyone just to avoid a fiveminute wait during school and sports traffic?

There isn't anywhere left to develop in the Kidston area so future traffic flow will not be increasing.

People are free to take Kalavista Drive or Postill Drive (even with speed bumps I believe they are still open to the less fortunate).

There is no problem with the Kidston/Kal intersection. Stop creating one. Stop wasting my money.

Terry Nerling

purpose.

The speed at which vehicles travel down this supposedly safe street is alarming. Instead of slowing things down it's had the completely opposite effect, and after repeated calls and discussions with the law nothing has been done.

I have seen community policing out with their little radar signs that inform a drive they're speeding. This does nothing to deter people. They're speeding again within meters of passing the sign.

What's needed is some traffic enforcement and fines. I've never witnessed a radar trap since the changes, maybe it's because there's nowhere for the cops to set up undetected or maybe because they don't care. It's not for a lack of requests.

If some of these changes are planned for the street you live on be sure to be informed and oppose them or suffer the consequences.

Although it is esthetically pleasing, it's not practical and totally unnecessary. I notice that most of the people that think these changes are good have sidewalks and parking in front of their property and don't have to "park on a side street and walk."

I sincerely hope that some changes can be made to this street to accommodate those of us that pay taxes and deserve some parking space on the street like most other home owners, even if it's only parking on one side of the street.

Bob Desy

sPOrTs COMPLeX I also was a no voter against the sports complex and almost for the same reasons as P. Bader who hit the nail on the head.

I agree it is not the right location but also thought that the expense is not necessary as there are no guarantees the place will be used like the organizers kept telling us. There's too much speculation as far as I am concerned. I really do agree with P. Bader about the parking.

I live on Varsity Drive and am sure that people who come to the park are not going to want to pay for parking. Well, lets just all go to Varsity Drive or College Drive, it's free there. I have talked to a few neighbours about this and they all said the same thing. Coldstream has to do something to keep people from using our streets as free parking lots.

Our streets are narrow and cars parked on both sides make it very dangerous to drive on, and more so to walk on as we have no sidewalks and there are a lot of people walking their dogs or just walking on them every day. I can see driveways being partially blocked if people park like they do at the mall.

If Coldstream does nothing, they may be in for a surprise at the backlash that comes from doing nothing.

W. Bennett sTOLeN jeWeLry From time to time, I sell jewelry

and small collectibles to bring in a little extra money.

Recently, I rented space in a downtown shop. During the setup, someone stole my beautiful amber necklace, a very large garnet and amethyst pendant and vintage rhinestones.

These pieces are distinct and recognizable.

Also, amber and amethyst have the power to surround the wearer with good or bad karma.

I hope you look good and feel good wearing my jewelry. s. Burton O'keefe raNCh I was also disappointed with the funding cuts to O'Keefe ranch.

For someone not still on a ranch or farm, it is soothing to the soul to go and walk around the grounds. I am anxious to share this walk back in time with my grandchildren when they come to visit. I hope that option will still be available.

I have enjoyed showing our cars at the ranch on several occasions and my sister treated me to a day when the ladies where showing apparel worn way back when.

What a lovely day we had.

We must keep our history alive and available.

How short sighted can Vernon council get? robyn souder CLarifiCaTiON Re. Be prepared Mr. Epp suggests that the rail-

way is storing tank cars full of propane.

I believe he is mistaken. These cars are all empty. The railway is guided by Transport Canada, fully regulated and understands the storage of dangerous commodities and like goods.

Let's stop comparing ourselves to our American cousins and get on with the business of moving our precious commodities.

The impact statement alone is powerful enough.

But Nichoel Crawford also knows first-hand how ravaging ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease is.

Crawford, of Coldstream, is the organizer of the third annual Vernon Walk for ALS (five-kms), set for Saturday at Polson Park starting at 10 a.m.

June is ALS awareness month.

“The statement I’ve often used is, ‘Imagine for a minute that you can’t walk, can’t eat, can’t hug your partner or your child, can’t tell your partner that you love them.

‘Imagine that your mind is completely fine, but your body is progressively becoming paralyzed until finally you can longer breathe on your own. That is what happens when you have ALS.’” ALS is a terminal neuromuscular disease that causes the voluntary muscles (those that move legs, arms, tongue, lungs…) to progressively weaken and eventually die.

It is a disease that affects not only those living with ALS, but their family and friends.

Rain or shine, the third annual Vernon Walk for ALS will take place Saturday at Polson Park. The event has raised more than $58,000 in its first two years.

“Watching her progress in the disease was hard.”

— Nichoel Crawford

Crawford’s beloved grandma, Mina White.

“My grandma was a strong woman,” said Crawford of White, who passed away March 7 at age 76.

“She never complained about the disease and always told us to have an ‘attitude of gratitude.’

“Watching her progress in the disease was hard, especially when

she could no longer talk and communicate with us, but I never saw her cry. She was good at putting up a front, smiling and seeming like it was all OK. And to be honest I’m thankful for that.”

When White was first diagnosed, the ALS Society of B.C. was quick to help her family with everything – a walker, ramp up to her

WATERING RESTRICTIONS Armstrong residents and businesses should take note that effective immediately, Stage 2 watering restrictions have been rescinded and the City has returned to Stage 1 watering restrictions. This is a result of water turbidity levels for the City’s primary water source, Fortune Creek, returning to a level permitted under Provincial drinking water standards.

Stage 1 lawn sprinkling regulations are as follows: •

Above-ground watering – lawn sprinkling is permitted for even numbered addresses on even days and odd numbered addresses on odd days during the hours of 6:00 am to 10:00 am and 7:00 pm to midnight only.

•

Automatic in-ground watering systems – lawn sprinkling is permitted for even numbered addresses on even days and odd numbered addresses on odd days between the hours of midnight and 5:00 am only.

Please exercise care when resuming lawn sprinkling so as not to overburden the water system. For more information on allowable watering including newly established lawns, the City’s Water Use and Conservation Bylaw No 1689 is posted on the front page of the City’s website: www.cityofarmstrong.bc.ca. Thank you for your cooperation.

house, wheelchair and doctor visits.

The list got bigger as the disease progressed.

To give back, Crawford started the Vernon walk which, in just two years, has raised more than $58,000 for the ALS Society of B.C. “I can tell you firsthand the emotional and financial struggles ALS can have on a family,” said Crawford.

“And that’s why we’re doing what we’re doing – to help others in need and to help find a cure.

“We’ve had a lot of support...We have an amazing committee and volunteers that make it all happen.”

Event sponsors include Cloverdale Paint, Kineshanko Logging Ltd., Capri Insurance, Kaltech, Terry’s Automotive, Butcher Boys and Valley Chiropractic.

Sun-FM is the event’s media sponsor.

Registration for the Vernon Walk starts at 9 a.m. on June 15.

There will also be a silent auction, 50/50, cake walk and kids activities.

Library under review richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Library services, and the impact on taxpayers, could come under increased scrutiny.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board has been told that Okanagan Regional Library is considering a value for money audit.

“Are we getting out what we put in?” said Stephanie Hall, ORL executive director.

Along with this, ORL is trying to improve communications with its 25 member jurisdictions, which range from Princeton to Golden.

“It’s a strategy we felt was a good idea because Stephanie is new to the position,” said Mike MacNabb, RDNO’s director to ORL. Hall believes it is important for her to meet face-to-face with municipal councils and regional district boards.

“We want to be more dialed in to what’s important,” she said.

“We can be more responsive to (community) needs but only if we know what they are.”

Another area Hall wants to focus on is demographics and who is using libraries.

“I don’t have something that tells me what’s happening with children, what’s happening with seniors or what’s happening with families,” she said.

District tries to control mosquitoes Morning Star Staff

Since early April, the Regional District of Central Okanagan has been busy with its mosquito monitoring and control program in Lake Country and the North Westside.

With spring rains there’s plenty of standing water and with warmer temperatures on the horizon, those are the perfect conditions for hatching mosquito larva.

“Our program monitoring and treatment crews have been busy checking out known breeding locations and if mosquito larvae are found, they treat the surface water habitat to minimize mosquito larval development,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator.

BWP Consulting is contracted to conduct all larval mosquito control only within these participating areas of the regional district.

GMOs focus for rural areas richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Two rural communities may take a stand against genetically modified crops although there is no way to stop them.

Rural Lumby and Cherryville are considering changes to their official community plan to make reference to genetically modified organisms.

“We’re not encouraging them,” said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director, of residents’ concerns about the impact of GMOs on the environment, health and food security.

“This community is not supportive of it (GMOs).”

However, the areas, through the Regional District of North Okanagan, do not have the ability to ban GMO crops.

“It’s not up to local government, it’s federal jurisdiction,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director.

Foisy admits any statement in the OCP would be motherhood in nature.

“We don’t have the teeth to do anything about it but we can tell the world the community doesn’t want them,” he said.

However, no action will be taken until RDNO’s agricultural advisory committee provides some direction on GMOs. “Depending on what the committee says, staff

Parks remain public spaces richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Concerns that governance changes could lead to Greater Vernon parks being developed are being dismissed.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board has instructed staff to have parks deemed to be local transferred from RDNO ownership to either Coldstream or Vernon depending on their location.

“Once a park always a park,” said Trafford Hall, administrator, in reaction to a concern Trafford Hall that the process could lead to other possible land uses.

“All that is being done is restructuring care and control.”

Even with Coldstream and Vernon on the property title, Hall insists the sites will remain public assets.

Restructuring first arose because Coldstream wanted to have more input on the operation of parks considered more local in use than regional attractions.

RDNO properties that will be transferred to Coldstream under the restructuring initiative include Sovereign Park, the log cabin on Kalavista Drive and the Kalavista boat launch parking lot. Titles being handed over to Vernon include Grahame Park, Sawicki Park and 10 sites on Lakeshore Road.

Vernon will transfer ownership of Kal Beach to the regional district.

Do It For Dad promotes health Morning Star Staff

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers) and is the third leading cause of death from cancer in men in Canada.

On average, 65 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer every day and it is estimated 11 Canadian men will die from this disease daily.

On Father’s Day, June 16, plan to participate in the 14th annual Do It For Dad Run and Walk presented by Interior Savings. Help locally in the fight against prostate cancer.

The first Do It For Dad was established in 1999 when Dr. April Sanders founded the event to bring awareness of prostate cancer to the forefront.

She wanted to make the community aware of prostate cancer and the need for early diagnosis

Sanders remains committed and involved with the planning of Do It For Dad and is the honorary chair of this year’s event.

“Do It for Dad is a tribute to my stepdad and his quiet, solitary struggle with prostate cancer,” said Sanders.

to implement these lessons on behalf of all of the men in our community. When their lives are touched by prostate cancer, we do not want them to carry that burden alone.”

The Do It For Dad Run and Walk takes place Sunday at Coldstream Ranch.

Enjoy a three-km walk or eight-km run and help fight prostate cancer in our community. It is a family event that includes children’s activities sponsored by the Interior Savings

promo team, entertainment by the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band and a light lunch donated by Subway.

Registration is at 8:30 a.m. with the walk/ run starting at 9:30 a.m.

Registration fees are $10 for youth 15 years and younger and $20 for adults 16 years and older.

Raise $50 in pledges to waive one registration fee. Pledge forms are available at Interior Savings, Sun FM, Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation or you can download a form online at www.vjhfoundation. org. For more information, call 250-558-1362.

Over the past 13 years, this event has raised $250,000 that has stayed locally in the North Okanagan community to help fight prostate cancer in a variety of ways. A number of resectoscopes, an instrument used in the treatment of prostate cancer by urologists at VJH, have been purchased from event proceeds.

It allows doctors to remove prostate tissue without large incisions, greatly reducing recovery time and lengthy hospital stays. Funds have also been allocated to cover the cost of PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) tests for all men in the community who wish to be tested.

This is a blood test and the cost of a PSA test is around $30.

The cost is not covered by your medical services plan unless you are older or have a family history.

It is one of the screening tools used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and early diagnosis and treatment is key to battling this disease.

Do It For Dad has also provided financial assistance to the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support and Awareness Group, which meets monthly at the People Place, September through June, and provides support to prostate cancer survivors and their families.

“The peer support group provides access to many educational opportunities through guest speakers, publications and open discussions about prostate cancer,” said Ed Eyford, one of the founding members.

“Everyone is welcome to attend and meetings take place in the evening, 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Monday of the month.”

For more information about the support group contact Lloyd at 250-549-2362, Ed at 250-545-6220 or Ken at 250-542-3461.

Triathlon keeps Kim forever Young Peter Byrnes For The Morning Star

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. For local triathlete, Kim Young, a single photo changed the course of his life.

“I was 44 and working as a professional forester when I looked at a photo of a guy I didn’t recognize wearing my T-shirt. I couldn’t believe how badly out of shape I had become.”

Compounding this was the sad truth that Kim’s mother had died at age 43 from a heart attack.

“I knew the time had come to make some major changes,” said Young.

Moving to Vernon, Kim began his transformation by learning to run through Wendy Schroeder of The Starting Block’s learn to run program. Buoyed by his success, Young approached the Kal RATS (Running and Triathlon Society) with the view to completing a triathlon.

The rest is history. Young went on to successfully complete the Kal RATS sprint triathlon in 1999. He has since completed many triathlons, including Half Ironman races (2km swim, 90km bike, 20km run), and he even conquered the 7km Peachland Across the Lake Swim.

Young’s physical transformation was accompanied by an immense appreciation of what the sport had done for him.

He was inspired to repay the sport by becoming a certified triathlon coach.

While coaching at all levels, he delights in teaching beginning athletes. During the past nine years, Young has run programs through the Greater Vernon Parks and Recreation Centre for more than 600 children and adults.

Local triathlete Pam Labossiere completed Young’s introductory triathlon course in 2002 and has since completed Ironman Canada twice.

When asked why he chose triathlon, young replies: “When I met members

of the Kal RATS, I saw people 10 to 70 years of age. Each and every one of them possessed personal confidence and optimism. Triathlon creates an I-can-do-it attitude. With every class I teach, I share this gift with my students.”

Young’s commitment to triathlon runs deep. In addition to coaching, he regularly volunteers at local and regional events. Combining his other passion for motorcycles, he has volunteered numerous times at Ironman Canada, using his Honda to transport cameramen for the likes of TSN. When away from triathlon, Young is the manager and chief instructor of V-Twin Motorcycle School. His patience and diligence once again shines through as he and his staff of 16 instructors prepare riders of all ages.

Anyone interested in getting involved in triathlon can e-mail Young at coach_5@telus.net.

For further information on triathlon, visit the RATS’ website www.kalrats.com.

Entry forms are now available for the Kids of Steel triathlon on Saturday, June 22, as well as the Kal RATS sprint on Sunday, June 23.

Meanwhile, Vernon’s Nathan Champness rebounded from a poor swim to finish second in the Oliver Half Ironman Triathlon Sunday in the South Okanagan.

Champness, who races for Starting Block/Saucony and Olympia Cycle, turned in the fastest run on the day, finishing the 21.1-km course in one hour and 25 minutes flat. His overall time was 4:18:58, placing him behind Surrey’s Nathan Killam (4:16:31).

Other North Okanagan racers earning top-five age-group finishes include daddy-to-be Simon Craig, who ranked second in the men’s 45-49 class, and 24th overall, in 4:58:09. Alanna Simms was fifth in the women’s 35-39 with a 5:36:15.

Shamrocks rebound after blowout against Raiders Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks overcame a first-period deficit to brush back the Kamloops Venom 8-7 in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre.

Down by a goal after one period, the third-place Shamrocks (3-6-2) outscored

the last-place Venom (2-9-1) in the second period to take a 6-5 lead into the final frame.

Playing through an injury, Drew Hassard jumpstarted Armstrong’s attack with a deuce in the first period. Adding to the offence were Willy Hanley (2+2), Carston Schlaak (2), Conor Payne (1+2) and Brody Berg.

Cole McFarlane had a 35-save showing.

“He struggled a little bit at first, but after that he really kept the team in the game,” said Armstrong head coach Bryan Cope.

Brady Jorgensen, with 3+1, and Rob Peterson, with 1+4, led Kamloops’ attack.

The win came a day after the Rocks were shelled 17-7 by the host Kelowna Raiders at Memorial Arena. Cope called it one of the

worst performances he has seen as a coach.

“Everything they could do wrong on the floor, they did,” said Cope. “And everything Kelowna shot went in the net.”

The first-place Raiders (9-1-1) raced out to a 13-0 first-period lead, after which Armstrong settled down.

M

ajor League all-star Tony Gwynn is credited with one of baseball’s top-25 quotes: “We know we’re better than this, but we can’t prove it.”

The Toronto Blue Jays are feeling much the same as their revamped $117-million roster was, as of Friday afternoon, nine games under .500. Even the bookies have declared the Jays done. Bodog.ca has Toronto a 33-1 underdog to claim the World Series. The Tigers are favoured at 13-2.

Manager John Gibbons says the immediate goal is to get back to .500. Problem for Toronto as it looks at the 36 games Kevin Mitchell remaining before the all-star break is that 30 of them are against teams with records better than .500.

On Thursday, the Jays selected Californian Phil Bickford with their first pick in the annual draft of high schoolers and collegians, the 10th overall pick in North America.

The 6-foot-4 Bickford strikes out a ton of batter, but he’s four or five years away from wearing a Blue Jay jersey.

For the record, the top Canadian, as expected, was Edmonton lefty Rob

Zastryzny, who went to the Chicago Cubs 41st overall.

Even lefty Mark Buehrle, who locked up a $12 million dollar salary and is a miserable 2-4 with a 5.42 ERA with the Jays, has figured out what ails a team sitting last in the American League East.

He says when the Jays pitch well, they don’t hit. And when they do hit the ball, their pitchers can’t find the strike zone.

Pretty basic stuff which a team with so much talent should be able to turn around.

Teams making the playoffs need at least 94 wins over 162 games. Once my kids do the math, I will surely see the numbers don’t translate well for the Jays.

I asked some baseball fanatics for their take on the Blue Jays, and here are their views: Kellen Jones: “Love to see (Brett) Lawrie get it going offensively. Hopefully Buerhle and (R.A.) Dickey can get some wins. (Jose) Reyes is having a great year but needs some help. And if they keep losing they might as well get David Wells back pitching and Carlos Delgado back at first.”

Bruce Booth: “From what I’ve seen the two obvious negatives are poor pitching and injuries. The less obvious is that too many games it seems players’ minds are not in the game. Any coach I ever played for could excuse a physical error but mental errors are not excusable.

Jared Sochan: “Health is the key. If

they can stay healthy they still have a chance to get back in the race. Lots of ball still left play.”

Randy Fedorchuk: “The Jays and the two SoCal teams are getting the worst results for $$$ spent in baseball. I do see some signs of life, for example, the great outing yesterday by Dickey vs the Giants.

The injury to Jose Reyes was a big blow.

They cannot get back in the race now.”

Clark Inglis: “To state the obvious, the Blue Jay pitching staff is classically underachieving. They miss Reyes. But my other take on them is that Brett Lawrie will never match his rookie success. I think he is a Pete Rose wannabe and by his over-zealous antics on the field, will spend more time on the DL than he will on the field. I wonder how big an irritant he is to his teammates with his in-your-face, rahrah attitude.”

Connor Jones: “The Blue Jays are having a rough year. I think they should release Dickey and Reyes and call up Oggy Ortman off the Vernon D-Backs, and Jim Maniago (BCHL referee) from the Trail Orioles of the Senior Men’s B.C. League.”

Jarrett McNeal: “My take on the Jays is that their starting rotation has been abysmal. The starters need to get better as their bats are slowly waking up, which is a good sign. If they can stay away from any more injuries and the starters get on track, they could make a run for a wildcard.”

Morning Star Staff

Williams played with smarts and confidence, once almost knocking the crossbar off with a howitzer from outside the 18.

Becky Birbilis did a lovely job cleaning up as sweeper and confident keeper Suzyn August kept everything else out.

The Green Rockets grounded Centerline Attack 6-1 at Marshall #4.

Leah Willinger and Sam Audley, with two goals each, Lindsay Smith and Nicole Vogan connected for the ever-improving Rockets.

“Every girl contributed to our win,” said Dana Dimmick of the Rockets. “I can’t even name one or two that was MVP because every girl was working her butt off last night.”

Centreline keeper Kris Ponto was bested four times by bullets in the first half. Ponto did save her reputation as being lovely and talented by scoring the 0-6 Centreline goal in the second half on a corker from the 18.

Azra Cowley finished the game between the posts and did a terrific job with 18-yard challenges and fearless dives. Striker Shyla Ladd hit the cross bar at least twice in a

solid effort, while Christine Beham and Natalie Lussin were tireless in the midfield.

Striker Mike Lloyd fired four goals as Vernon Kal Tire rolled over Kelowna United 8-1 in Okanagan men’s 50+ action Thursday night at MacDonald Park.

Lloyd, who has 10 goals in his last three games, played defence most of the second half and took the Burger King Man of the Match.

Midfielder Rob Culos enjoyed a career night with two goals, one on a top-shelf snipe, while Denis Chabot and Kevin Mitchell added singles. Chabot ran miles in the midfield and set up three of Lloyd’s tallies.

Gord Anton volunteered to play net for United in the first half and then surprised Kal Tire keeper Gordie Campbell with a 35-yard floater early in the second half.

The Vernon Stars bowed 4-3 to host Winfield at Beasley Park.

Mike Siemans (2), Mike Key and Steve Cox scored for Winfield, while John Matejka, Tim Penaluna and an own-goal accounted for the Stars’ offence.

Baker cooks up hat trick for Sunterra Another Thursday night, another Baker’s quarter dozen or so.

So it goes for slick striker Deanna Baker, whose three goals gave Sunterra Seasons Custom Homes a 3-1 win over Capri Insurance in Division 2 women’s soccer play at Marshall Field #2.

Baker squandered some early chances, but quickly redeemed herself in the 10th minute, finishing a Jen Currie cross.

Andrea Zubot then fed the speedy Baker for the 2-0 goal before Morgan Zoethout replied for the 3-4 Capri crew just before the break.

Nicole Williams, who missed a few chances of her own, beautifully assisted Baker’s third goal midway through the final half.

Amy Fitchett worked every angle but couldn’t buy a goal for 6-0 Sunterra, while Carmen Kinniburgh played just about every position well and Miranda Dalhuisen ran tirelessly all night.

Amanda Gaythorpe and Angela Otto were at home in midfield and Lesley

Summer Jam calling for campers Morning Star Staff

The third annual Summer Jam Basketball Camp, presented by Okanagan Elite Athlete, is filling up quickly.

Kelowna Secondary School is re-doing its floor this summer so Okanagan Elite Athlete has moved the camps to KLO Middle School.

The program is attracting campers from the Okanagan and beyond. The camp is for all skill level and genders.

“We currently have registrants from the Okanagan and Lower Mainland,” said

Mitch Goodwin, a former Pleasant Valley Saints’ star.

“We’re excited to offer fundamental skill development, team play strategies, and an increased passion for sports and basketball to all the campers.”

The coaching staff for Summer Jam 2013 is impressive. Some of Kelowna’s best high school players will be joining together to coach youngsters from across the province.

Goodwin was one of the leading scorers in Canada as a rookie in CIS as a

member of the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball team.

Landry Ndayitwayeko, co-captain of the Heat, is a defensive specialist.

Carly Corrado and Aspen Percival, both Kelowna Owl grads, will be working with the girl camps. Corrado recently committed to play for the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George – one of the newest universities to join Canada West.

Interested campers are encouraged to register soon as registration is filling up.

Raiders ambush Shamrocks early Continued from A18

Brendan Urban highlighted the Raider offence with five of his six goals coming in the first-period barrage. Veteran Scott Renner chipped in with 2+6.

Stephen Ringdal was Armstrong’s top threat with 2+2, with Payne (2), Hassard, Adam New and Berg rounding out the offence.

Cope said the Shamrocks’ mental preparation and on-floor intensity needs to improve if they want close the gap on the Raiders and second-place Vernon Source For Sports Tigers (8-2), who they face Wednesday in Armstrong.

“Our focus and intensity on loose balls hasn’t been there,” he said. “You give these guys four or five chances in a row, your defence is going to get tired and chances are the goalie will eventually let one in.”

The Tigers hosted the Flames Saturday night at Kal Tire Place, while the Raiders visited Kamloops.

Walker at camp Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Matt Walker is closing in on his dream of playing in the Canadian Football League.

Walker, the 50th overall pick by the B.C. Lions in the recent CFL draft, made it through rookie camp and is now at the Lions’ main camp this weekend in Kamloops.

The former Vernon Panthers’ all-star quarterback is pencilled in as a backup free safety.

Walker, 21, played defensive back with the UBC Thunderbirds last year, but suffered a serious knee injury in the season opener.

He underwent surgery, but recovered in time to impress the coaches at the Lions’ spring camp.

B.C. kicks off the pre-season against the host Stampeders Friday at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium.

Cooper going to Gallup Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Tylee Cooper is ready to gallop in Gallup, N.M., June 23-29.

The Grade 8 Vernon Secondary student qualified for the National Junior High School Rodeo Finals for goat tying and ribbon roping.

Cooper, 14, booked her trip stateside after placing first in ribbon roping with partner Owen Perry, a Grade 7 student out of Monte Creek (Cooper is the runner and Perry is the roper), and third in goat tying at B.C. championships.

Featuring more than 1,000 contestants from 41 states, five provinces and Australia, the NJHFR is the world’s largest junior high rodeo. In addition to competing for more than $75,000 in prizes, contestants will also be vying for more than $100,000 in college scholarships.

“Mostly I’m just looking forward to the experience,” said Cooper. “Not many people get to qualify for nationals and there’s no other rodeo like it.

“And there’s some really good prizes.”

Cooper leaves June 18 as it will take her and her family three or — Tylee four days to haul her horse, Molly, down to the event. They plan to stay at rodeo grounds along the way.

There is one slight hitch – Cooper has never ridden Molly, who she is borrowing from

To earn a shot at the national title, contestants must finish in the top 20 in their events (based on their combined times/ scores in the first two rounds) to advance to the final round.

Champions are then determined based on their three-round combined times/scores.

Cooper, who plans to one day compete on the college rodeo circuit, played defence with the Five Star Awards Bulldogs in Bantam hockey last season. She is also student president of the B.C. High School Rodeo Association’s south region junior division.

Powell Connor stroked a two-run double, tagged out two runners trying to steal second and struck out the side in one inning’s work. Lincoln Connor singled, scored once and fanned two batters in two innings on the hill.

Emily Christian also singled, while Camryn Beer, Katelyn Holbrook and Asia Graham scored twice. Jewel Jensen and Abby Sundquist also reached base in the Panthers’ first win on the season.

Input sought for female rep program

Midget Rep female hockey has flourished the last few years in Salmon Arm with players from the Shuswap and North Okanagan.

Officials hope to keep the team afloat next year and will hold a meeting for all interested players and parents Thursday, June 13 at 7 p.m. at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Enderby.

“We have done this in the past few years and it is basically an opportunity to give out information about the team and see what the commitment level is,” said Roy Sakaki of Salmon Arm minor hockey.

Sakaki says the team may lose a few players to the Midget Quad team in Kelowna. A head coach has not been confirmed.

“I can only say that the three years we have had the team based out of Salmon Arm, we have had tremendous success in building a very successful and competitive team, thanks largely to coaching staff, parents, players and the support from the Salmon Arm minor hockey board.

He noted that the regular schedule, practices, home tournament, playoffs and provincials have worked out to benefit all the players, both in the area of development and financial support.

“It seems inevitable that the make-up of this team will consist mainly of players from the North Okanagan area and perhaps one or two from Salmon Arm. I just hope we can keep female Midget hockey alive and well in this area.”

Elaine Morneau (centre) hands over a $5,000 cheque to Greater Vernon Minor Hockey Association administrator Michelle McCrea and president Richard Frater at Civic Arena. Morneau won a Kraft Canada Hockey online contest where the prize had to be donated to any minor hockey team or association of her choice.

Morneau’s nephews – Tanner and Jordan Burns are minor hockey grads.

Sun set on Robinson Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Sun receiving core just got deeper and faster as Lerone Robinson (Simon Fraser Clan) informed Sun head coach Shane Beatty he is leaving SFU and will be wearing Sun colors this year.

Beatty was alerted about the 6-foot4, 185-pound Notre Dame High School (Vancouver) grad by former CFLer Jamie Boreham, who coached with the Sun last year.

Beatty was ecstatic to lock up the speedy Robinson, who has been timed at 4.49 over 40 yards. Beatty says his quarterbacks will have a group of receivers that is seven or eight deep and will pose a lot of issues for secondaries in the B.C. Football Conference.

“Lerone can really fly,” said Beatty.

“He is a great young kid and a real talent. He is a very respectful young man who adds a speed dimension to our offence that we really needed. I think now we have all the receivers to make us really dangerous there.

“With Lerone today, Zach Regert last week plus the other group of young talent we having coming in…

Deion Bain, Pierre Luc Lord, Reggie Ventose, Hartley (Tanner), Andrew MacDonald. You add this young group to the vets…all those guys. We are in really, really good shape.”

The 19-year-old Robinson knows some Sun players and understands his expectations.

“I’m two years younger than Cam Bedore, I remember watching him in high school. He is a quality quarterback and I know they have a tall guy (Theo Deezar) coming in, from snooping around the website; he is more of a drop back passer.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about the year from coach Beatty. He is pretty excited about the season; it sounds like we should have a pretty good team.”

Robinson and the rest of the Sun roster hit the field for the opening of training camp July 5.

Okanagan Senior Transition Services

Special to The Morning Star

Armstrong Lions serve, and that service goes beyond fund raising to give financial assistance to people in need who, if helped, can regain independence or even once again become employable.

The Lions support services which indirectly help people. Some examples are the training and placement of dog guides for people who are blind, deaf or suffer from conditions such as seizures or autism. There are even special skills dogs for people with other medical or physical disabilities.

Support is also provided to local services such as the Armstrong Vision Centre, Hospice House, Easter Seals house, the Winfield Sumer Camp for children with disabilities, and camperships to Camp Kakhamela for juvenile diabetes.

Lions promote scholarships through provision of four scholarships to local high school graduates worth $1,000 each.

Local sports like the Knights Hockey, Armstrong Junior Curling and the North Okanagan Lacrosse receive annual contributions from the club to cover some of their expenses.

Lions were able to assist a local family who faced financial hardship due to extreme medical and travel expenses to save the life of one of their twin newborn children.

In mid-March we also helped a local resident, Dorothy Hickling, who is a handicapped senior, get a windshield for her scooter because her doctor recommended this if she was to continue using this equipment to get about town.

Another local senior, Florence Bell, needed help to move her to a care facility better equipped to provide for her needs. She didn’t have family living nearby to help her so a small team of Lions did the job for her.

The Armstrong Lions take pride in honouring our veterans by providing a Remembrance Day dinner for them at the Legion after the morning services.

We also help the Legion put on the “Light Up Night” at Christmas time and provide the manpower help to the Realtors’ Christmas Hamper Drive. Other local businesses have been helped with their customer appreciation days.

To carry on these worthwhile local services, we need more members. Anyone over the age of 19 can join. If you think you would like to contribute to your com-

raised on Vancouver Island. At the time she met John, Ruth was living with her parents in Shirley at age 21, and working for the telephone company as an operator in Sooke, B.C. Ruth remembers stopping at Walt’s on her way to work just before Christmas 1951, and being asked to go to the pub that night with Walt, his friend John and a few others.

Ruth could see John and turned down the invite, saying to Walt that John was too grubby looking! Ruth managed to avoid John until New Year’s Eve, even though he had Christmas dinner with her family.

On New Year’s Eve at a dance, Ruth had three suitors: John and two others. She rode home

John and Ruth Poschner: wed June 20, 1953 in Victoria. from the dance with John, her brother Cliff, and Cliff ’s wife. From that point on, John and Ruth decided to date but had to write letters for a bit as John was logging out of the area.

John asked Ruth to marry him while in his green 1950 Oldsmobile Coupe, at their favourite parking spot. Ruth

was surprised, although she had told him ahead she would need six diamonds, and she got them! She agreed to his marriage proposal immediately.

John and Ruth were married June 20, 1953, at St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Victoria. John attended a few classes prior to the date as he was not a Catholic. Ruth’s parents were in a motor vehicle accident the night of the engagement and still had no car by the time the wedding came. Ruth’s maternal Aunt Mary ran a taxi company in Victoria and Ruth came to the wedding ceremony with her father in a cab. When they reached the church, layers from

Ruth’s wedding dress caught in the cab seat and she and her father had to extricate the dress carefully. At this point her bouquet began to dismantle and her father repaired that. On the way to the church, John recalls being driven by Ruth’s brother-in-law Jim who suddenly stopped the car. Apparently Jim told John it was John’s last chance to escape!

Ruth and John honeymooned in Parksville, B.C. for a week in a cabin and remember lousy weather, hiking, harvesting and cooking oysters.

John and Ruth have two daughters, two sons-in-law and three grandchildren.

Highlights mentioned

by Ruth and John of their 60 years together are: travelling, buying their first home in 1954 (mortgage $70/month), moving to northern B.C. in 1969 for four years, fishing, golfing, curling and camping.

They will be celebrating their lives together with family and friends in Vernon on the June 8 weekend. Wish them well!

From Montana to Vernon, Dale and Nancy Grochowich’s 1926 Model T Roadster has seen lots of roads.

The Grochowiches are the third owners of the car which got its start in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

“The original owners had the car for 39 years, then their son drove it from Montana to Seattle where he had a teaching job,” said Dale.

“The car broke down in Seattle and a mechanic bought it and kept it for 17 years. We bought it in 1982.”

The Grochowiches had the car fully restored in 1984 and will have it on display along with others from their club, the North Okanagan chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada, during the club’s 19th annual Father’s Day Car Show.

The event will run June 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Village Green Centre’s north end parking lot (near Sport Chek).

Registration for the event will start at 9 a.m.

Admission is by donation.

There will be awards, 50/50 draw, door prizes and food and music throughout the show.

The Grochowich 1926 Model T Roadster plus one other club vehicle will be on display from Wednesday to Saturday inside the Village Green Centre to help promote the event.

Two of the children living in the village of Barind in northwestern India.

Global adventure Morning Star Staff

Vernon secondary Global Action students travelled to India on spring break this year, and volunteered in the small rural village of Barind, in the northwestern part of the country.

“It was an incredible, eye opening experience, that brought a great appreciation of India’s history and vibrant culture, and an opportunity to help out and connect with others in a very different part of the world,” said VSS teacher Susan Egan, who organized the project. “Although the children showed signs of malnutrition and lack of health care, they were so beautiful with their big smiles, and the villagers were wonderfully welcoming.”

“These children had absolutely nothing, yet they seemed to have everything, they were constantly laughing,” said Grade 9 student Alicia Hill-Turner.

“On that last day saying goodbye to the children was heartbreaking, I just wanted to take them all home and have 100 little brothers and sisters.”

Students and their chaperones worked on a school building project with Free the Children, which is a Canadian charity all about ending child labour in Third World countries through access to education. When children are literate they have more choices and brighter futures, and Global Action students wanted to help.

In the village of Barind, the Vernon volunteers levelled the site for a playground with pickaxes and shovels, and built a brick wall on the perimeter, working in the heat. Egan would like to thank Kalamalka Rotary, and everyone who supports their Dream Auction event in the fall, for their

support of the project. Kal Rotary donated $5,000 towards the school construction materials costs for the new building.

Grade 12 student Deirdra Holmwood said the countryside was lovely, with women in bright saris dotting the landscape with colour.

“It was amazing how the girls and women could walk for miles, gracefully balancing jugs, branches, and bowls filled with things on their heads,” she said.

The group also had the opportunity to see cultural sites including the Taj Mahal. They learned some Bollywood dance moves, took Hindi language lessons, and participated in leadership workshops and social issues discussions.

Grade 12 student Savannah Marshall observed that “in the rural villages of India, women and girls don’t have equal rights to the men and boys. The men showed us great respect as a group of female volunteers from Canada, and I hope that this will help even in a small way to improve how women are viewed.”

In addition to Kal Rotary, Egan would like to thank Silver Star Rotary for helping the students by donating $1,000 in scholarship funds to help students with their travel costs.

“We are so appreciative of Rotary’s support for our volunteering initiatives,” she said, adding that thanks also goes to EF tours, which organized the itinerary and accommodations.

Global Action students will be travelling to the Masai Mara area of Kenya in June 2014 to help with another school building project.

A Brahmin priest is brought in to the village to bless the Global Action students and their project in India.

Grade 10 student Rachael Botto and Grade 12 student Deirdra Holmwood work on bricklaying at the job site.

Program matches the level of each child Morning Star Staff

When children have mastered skills such as learning to use scissors, knowing the alphabet or how to tie their shoes before they start kindergarten, they will enjoy greater success in school.

And Sally Towers believes that an occupational therapy approach within a prekindergarten program can help identify your child’s strengths and engage them in tasks which match their abilities.

The owner of Little Oak Learning Centre, Towers uses her skills as a therapist to help children master the skills they will need to have success in their first learning experiences and once they begin elementary school.

“We do this by looking at the demands of the task and factors that influence performance within the learning environment,” said Towers, who is qualified as an early childhood educator assistant and operates her program under an occasional child care licence. “I ensure a good match between the ability of the child and the difficulty of the task.”

Little Oak’s pre-kindergarten program has a child-centred approach where the leader looks at each child’s strengths, developmental skills and interests.

“Providing a good fit between the child and the demands of the task will build the child’s self-competence,” said Towers. “Using my skills as a therapist, I can find areas that interest the child to find what helps them to excel and grow, and I am able to adapt the program to the students’ needs.”

Morning Star Staff

Judy Douglas is inviting women in the community to join her in helping to make a difference by taking part in Days for Girls.

“Have you ever thought what it would be like to always have to miss out on life three to five days every month?

That’s what happens to girls and women in some Third World countries when they are menstruating.”

And that’s how Days for Girls began, after some women in Lyndon, Wash. wanted to give those days back

Women’s & Men’s affordable Just Like New Clothing

Fabulous Clothing

to girls in Uganda. For four years, groups of women have been sewing liners and shields for girls and women to use each month.

“Check out the website www.DaysforGirls. org,” said Douglas.

“This organization was only started in 2008 and already they have served 27 nations on five continents. They estimate that over 50,000 kits have gone into the world as a direct result of their programs.”

The kits are cotton bags filled with feminine hygiene products that are man-made and reusable, lasting up to at least three years before needing replacement.

“What a wonderful thing to give a girl in a Third World country

(behind Sir Winston’s)

who has to miss school because she is shunned or lacks a menstrual pad.”

On Wednesday, Douglas invites all who are interested to a work party at Vernon Alliance Church at 1 p.m.

Douglas is a retired registered nurse who has been working in Haiti since its devastating earthquake in January 2010. She has taught nursing there and worked with Water Project for Haiti.

She is hoping to take some of the menstrual kits with her when she returns to Haiti this fall.

“I know that there are not a lot of hygiene products to buy in Haiti, at least not where I live, so I want to take 100 to 200 samples of these kits back with me to share

Central to the belief of occupational therapy is that play is an important part of a child’s learning. Children learn by exploring their surroundings and interacting with materials to learn how the world works, said Towers.

“Children practise social roles through pretend play. In this program, they learn the social rules of a learning environment such as listening and respect for other children. This helps to ease the transition as they enter the larger school system in kindergarten, the following year.

“When children spend time with other children, they begin to experience social relationships which provide meaning, develop empathy and build connections.

Being among other children, they also experience joy and laughter.”

Towers is knowledgeable about the importance of physical activity and how it can enhance mood and boosts focus and attention for learning tasks. Physical activities can also provide sensory input to help some children function at their best. Theme-based circle time activities with a focus on action songs, music and books strengthen each child’s language concepts and vocabulary.

Little Oak Learning Centre will hold an open house on Wednesday at the school, 1802-45th Ave., Vernon, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, please e-mail sally.towers@gmail.com.

with females there.

“I also have a friend who has been making these for the past few months and she is going to come to Haiti and help train women to make them, for their own use and to sell.”

But for now, Douglas needs volunteers to learn how to make these supplies. Sewing experience is not required, as there are other jobs involved, such as cutting out fabric or scouting around town to find the best deals on materials.

“We can make these as a group or people can take the cut-out pieces home and sew them as they have time.”

For Wednesday’s session, a number of items are needed: a serger; sewing machines; mate-

rial (cotton, for shields and bags); flannel (for pads, best if it is colored/patterned); cutting boards and cutters; X-ray film to make templates; thread; gently used wash cloths and towels; drawstring/cord for the bags; new underwear (girls 12/14/16 women’s small, medium, large); large ziploc bags; someone with a membership at Fabricland.

“If you have a friend you would like to invite, please do so — the more the merrier! If you’re worried about making another commitment, don’t feel obliged. Even if you can make one kit, it will change one girl’s life.”

Fun on the greens

“

Mom can we go play golf?” I always encouraged the lads to play every sport and golf is a great sport. At the time big eyes asked for this he was about seven, his brother nine and I figured, what the heck Tiger started young.

Tiger also had a father who knew how to play.

Previous to the adventure in golfing with the boys I had only played about halfa-dozen times, mostly with their father. He loved the game and a few times took our oldest with him, strapping his car seat into the cart and off they went. Junior caddy he called him. We started by going out to the driving range, bought a large bucket of balls which was done within about four-and-a-half minutes. They kept trying to scoop the balls back from their lessthan-stellar shots, but the rules at the driving range don’t allow for that, someone could get hurt, and it defeats the purpose of buying a bucket if you keep replenishing it.

Golf is a game of rules and etiquette.

Mothers like both.

I knew the basics to get us through a game. Take a tiny stick of wood with a small surface on the top to

The Way I see IT

Michele Blais

balance a little bumpy ball on it, stick it in the ground, not all the way, leave it up higher for longer shots. Step back and take out of your golf bag, which has about nine clubs in it, the club with the biggest head on it, or the number one if it is a far distance. At this stage in the game every hole was far away.

We will hit from the area for the ladies, or beginners. Put the ball in position, balance it appropriately.

Walk behind the ball, look down the course to the flag, see where you need to hit it, yes this is what the pros do, at this point I am just looking for the flag, imagining the little ball soaring through the air, up, up and away. The flag is in the hole which we are trying to get the little bumpy ball into, and the sign says par three, so in three hits only. Right.

Step around to the ball, get in position, get a comfortable grip on your club. Note

here that when you are a beginner and play with more experienced players you get a lot of advice, beginning with how to hold the club. There are many different ways it turns out, grip hands, or not, line up the edge of the club with your hand turned sideways, etc.

They also have a lot of tips for how to hit off the tee, fairway, chip, get out of the sand, out of the trees, and putt, and everything else and nearly every one has their own unique way.

The lad stepped out, sized up the situation, wiggled his butt, knew he had to keep his head down, did a practice shot, and then swung back and wacked the ball, and it went up and straight and was within 10 feet of the flag.

A natural, visions of a child golfing protegé, ran through my head.

Well those of you who play the game might speculate that this may have been his best shot of the day.

We were at Lakers golf, and we had many games there. I was sorry to see it closed as it had been a great place for all of us to learn how to play. We went there often and had some wonderful games and some not so much. And that’s how golf is, moments of

brilliance where everything comes together and other times where we can hit a beautiful drive only to destroy that hole, by needing four putts to get that bumpy little ball into the hole.

The lads continue to play and really enjoy the game. My oldest worked a summer up at Predator and really enjoyed it and learned to appreciate the challenges and structure of the game of golf. As a family we play together and it is an enjoyable afternoon, of course the competitive side comes out, and we follow through. My darling likes to play for the competition and the camaraderie. A round of golf is a great way to visit.

I am calling myself a golfer these days and have found a great golfing buddy in Karen J., who is a great teacher, and comfortable ally.

She is accepting of my cheating, taking extra shots off the tee when I am not happy (only when someone is not playing behind) and not keeping score. This relaxed play with my gal pals has improved my game.

Golf is like life, moments of brilliance where everything comes together beautifully, and other times where you are chal-

New book details a Silent Journey Morning Star Staff

Michelle Britton simply wishes to live in her own home.

But at the age of 24, she experienced a stroke that took away the use of most of her body. Partial paralysis of her mouth has also robbed her of the ability to speak. After eight months of recovery in the hospital, and still needing 24-hour care, she was placed in a facility for people with disabilities. This is where Britton first realized that her life would now be totally controlled by others.

Silent Journey, the account of her 12-year struggle to live an independent life, will open the reader’s eyes to the injustice of society’s method of dealing cheaply and efficiently with those with disabilities.

Written by Kelowna writer L.D. Ross, Silent

Journey goes back to the beginning of Britton’s journey, where after her stroke her goal from then on was to try to make a better life for herself, to regain a portion of her independence.

Britton is an artist who currently lives in her own home and orchestrates her complicated daily care. It is due to inadequate government funding for in-home caregiving for severely disabled persons that she must choose the risky venture of being left completely alone each evening. Silent Journey documents this struggle.

Britton and Ross will be in attendance for a book signing at Creative Chaos today at the Vernon Recreation Centre, 3310 – 35th Ave. Silent Journey is also available for order from friesenpress.com/bookstore and from most book retailers. Orders can also be made to the author at ldrosswriter@telus.net

Draw like Allan Brooks Sketch club welcomes young artists to connect with nature out in the field

Morning Star Staff

In honour of the 125th anniversary of Maj. Allan Brooks documenting hundreds of bird species in the Okanagan from 1888 to 1889, the Allan Brooks Nature Centre (ABNC) has launched a new program for youth called the Jr. Nature Sketch Club.

Armed with a sketchbook, a pencil, a naturalist and an artist, the Jr. Nature Sketch Club takes ABNC members out in the field to connect and learn about our region’s ecological diversity.

“Today’s sketch club members are tomorrow’s innovators, creators and stewards of the earth. Fostering an appreciation for nature and art is more important now than ever before and the Jr. Nature Sketch Club is a way to make a difference in the next generation today,” said artist Leanne Cadden who has designed the sketchbooks for the program.

Aaron Deans, ABNC executive director, is one of the head biologists highlighting the local flora and fauna of the region, and says anyone interested in seeing the original Allan Brooks’ sketchbook can visit the Vernon Museum, where it resides under glass for safe keeping.

Like its namesake, the ABNC will provide kids with the opportunity to learn about nature from an ecological perspective as well as gain the extra creative perspective of having to sketch what they are learning about.

The guest artists, biologists and nature enthusiasts will also share their knowledge and expertise every second Saturday at a different local ecosystem.

Outings include local, regional, provincial parks and protected areas in the vicinity of Vernon.

Future Saturday locations include North Vernon Park, Silver Star Mountain, Ellison Provincial Park, Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Kalamalka Lake Lagoon, Swan Lake Nature Reserve, Grey Canal Trail, and Rose’s Pond.

Those with one-year or three-year family memberships receive one and two free sketchbooks of their choosing, respectively. Additional sketchbooks are available at a reduced member price.

“There are 10 different sketchbooks in two sizes available in the ABNC gift shop for the public to purchase,” added Cadden.

The age limit to join the club is five-to-16 years old and parents must be able to pick up and drop off members at each site. Outings will be every second Saturday, beginning at 9:30 a.m. at each location. There is a $2 drop-in fee for sketch club events.

To register or get more information, call the ABNC at (250) 260-4227 or visit the centre’s Facebook page.

Kelly and Blu Hopkins perform their multiinstrumental roots acoustic music at The Hub Arts Collective Friday. The concert is part of an ongoing initiative to bring live music to Vernon.

Music is best when it’s live Morning Star Staff

Leave the noise behind and take in some organic, acoustic music when Silver Creek residents Blu and Kelly Hopkins return to Vernon in concert.

Produced by Isabel Anderson, the show takes place at The Hub Arts Collective Friday.

Anderson has, so far, produced two monthly cabaret nights at The Hub. “They are eclectic events featuring comedy, drama, dance, and music,” she said, adding the concert with the Hopkins is the first music-only show she has produced and promoted at The Hub. “I am trying to offer musicians more opportunities to play and make money in Vernon while developing a new audience,” said Anderson. “I’m a big fan of this terrifically talented and personable duo, and I’m very excited to bring their high calibre performance to The Hub in Vernon.”

The winner of a 2007 Okanagan Music Award and a 2008 BCIMA (B.C. Interior Music Award), singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Blu Hopkins has been travelling, writing songs and performing them for more than 30 years.

A true troubadour, his influences include everything from

Bill Monroe and Woody Guthrie, to Gordon Lightfoot and Stan Rogers.

Blu’s storytelling songwriting style reflects his experience working and performing across Canada.

He has lived the songs he sings.

He has also been nominated 16 times for Okanagan Music Awards and BCIMAs in both the songwriter and folk artist categories, and with his band, Silvercreek, as folk roots/bluegrass band of the year.

Hopkins shared the bill with many well known artists including Kelly Joe Phelps, Allen Dobb, Bill Henderson, Ben Mink, Veda Hille, Jim Byrnes, Roy Forbes, Todd Butler, Valdy, Ken Hamm, Brad Prevedoros and Gary Fjellgaard.

He has also produced and recorded several acoustic projects for other artists in his Silvercreek Studios, and hosts a weekly radio broadcast of acoustic music and interviews with songwriters and performers called The BluJay Cafe on CKVS 93.7 FM in Salmon Arm. His partner in life and music, Kelly Hopkins is also an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Her songs range from rollicking and fun to heart-

felt and poignant ballads.

An accomplished acoustic bass player, Kelly also plays and writes mandolin compositions, which have a traditional, yet fresh, sound.

Her warm harmonies are also said to combine nicely with Blu’s smoky baritone.

Following the release of Blu’s two solo projects Never Say Never in 2001, and Canyon Wind in 2004, the Hopkins together released their duo CD Homegrown in 2007.

Described as “like a visit with two old friends, sharing their songs,” the CD was recorded live in their home studio with the help of several of their musical friends, and was the result of many folks requesting a CD of their tunes.

Their last recording, with bassist Jim Leduc and the late multi-instrumentalist Gord Milne, was a mellow blend of feel-good tunes titled Shakin’ The Dust Off. The Hopkins are currently recording a CD of children’s traditional songs for release in time for their summer touring.

Blu and Kelly Hopkins take the stage at The Hub, 2906 30th Ave., Friday, June 14. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10, available at the Bean Scene.

Time for some guitar pickin’

ast week I picked up my guitar for the first time in years. I spent some time tuning it then clumsily strummed my way through a few wellloved songs.

As though the frequent mistakes weren’t enough, my Brian van Wensem fingers quickly and painfully reminded me of how long it’s been since I’ve played.

It takes perseverance, discipline and courage to master any art form. Learning an instrument simply hasn’t been my passion but I personally think I make a much better audience member than a performer. So while I shamelessly let my guitar rest for another year or more, I think I’ll sit back and take a moment to enjoy the results of arts students who have the passion to see it through.

Coming up Thursday, Caravan Farm Theatre is host to Carolyn Mark and the New Best Friends.

That moment came at 8 p.m. on Oct. 5, 1993 at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax as he walked on stage to a full house and a thunderous East Coast welcome.

It was his first concert with his own band, after a year as the opening act for the internationally renowned Irish group, The Chieftains.

He was received with such wild encore-inducing enthusiasm, the con-

Now You see Me

our small-time magicians become wrapped up in an elaborate series of illusions to gain notoriety and entry into a mysterious secret society.

We say, “Abracadabra.”

HOWE: I really enjoyed Now You See Me. It had elements in it that I like in a movie: a mystery to solve, magic and action. Couple this with a stellar cast, and you know you’re in for a fun and exciting ride. I loved the concept of the magicians (the Four Horsemen) using Taylor and Howe their unique set of skills to pull of some pretty amazing heists, all the while staying one step ahead of FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo).

TAYLOR: The Four Horseman are Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), a hypnotist and mentalist; Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), a confidence man with a skill for designing tricks; Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), who has a knack for escapism, and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), who is a sleight of hand man with a penchant for breaking locks.

Combined, the four of them are given blueprints to a series of amazing illusions by an unknown source. They decide to undertake the tricks and find funding from a multi-millionaire (Michael Caine).

It isn’t long before they’re performing for packed houses.

HOWE: The best performance from the show must go to Interpol agent Alma Dray, played by Melanie Laurent

Reel Reviews

Morgan Freeman stars as Thaddeus Bradley in Now You See Me. (Inglourious Basterds). There’s an air of mystique surrounding her character: Is she or isn’t she working for the Horsemen. But the most amazing trick of all; how did Morgan Freeman get his teeth so shiny and bright?

TAYLOR: Overall, the film had a sort of whirlwind aspect to it, as if attempting to sweep the audience into the magic show experience. Combined with the fact that these magicians become wanted criminals, chased by the FBI, perhaps the dizziness I felt was meant to suspend my disbelief. However, I became slightly disappointed by both the story and its delivery.

Now You See Me is a film that hides

Summit EntErtainmEnt

its true premise from the audience until the conclusion reveals the solution to the mystery. As such, my enjoyment was wholly determined by a payoff that left me wishing it had concluded differently.

HOWE: Overall, I found myself having some fun. When they do their illusions it feels like you are there in the crowd, witnessing something special. So if you fancy a clean action mystery dotted with some jokes throughout, grab your wand and go watch Now You See Me. — Taylor gives Now You See Me 3 vanishing acts out 5.

— Howe gives it 4 bunnies out of 5.

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

Local gives workshop on healing through art

Vernon artist Roxi Sim-Hermsen will be at Nadine’s Fine Art in downtown Vernon to give a healing art workshop Saturday, June 15.

The experiential workshop is geared to any level artist from beginner to professional.

“Working with the elements of fire, water, earth and air, participants will create brilliant coloured pieces that will bring out their inner

child,” said Hermsen.

“Enjoy the freedom of letting go and letting art just happen.”

Workshop participants will create three pieces, one watercolour and two watercolour cards with envelopes.

Materials are available on site and participants can take a kit home to continue their own healing through art.

Together with her husband of 35 years,

Hermsen has led a creative life as a potter, sculptor, painter, awardwinning tap dancer, set designer, illustrator, and teacher.

Following the loss of her health and her nineyear-old son in 1996, Hermsen’s family went on a working holiday to Grenada, where she seriously took up painting.

Going through 200 feet of canvas and a suitcase full of paint,

Capsule Comments with

SUSAN CARRIE The term ‘off-label drugs’ refers to the use of a drug for a condition it’s not approved for. A good example of this is using a drug used for high blood pressure and heart failure to relieve the anxiety of going on stage. Another is using an antimalarial drug to treat night time leg cramps.

Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diphtheria vaccine.

Allergies are common at this time of year. Can you outgrows an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has.

It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says, “There’s no such thing as a healthy tan.” Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future.

If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions. Remember, they do not protect you from the sun. They are just cosmetic colourants.

For advice on allergy and sunscreen products, talk to our pharmacists. We keep up to date on all the latest products available for summer ailments.

Peony tea grows in Grindrod Morning Star Staff

The peony buds are just beginning to open with the sun, just in time for Runaway Moon Theatre’s annual Peony Tea, Sunday, June 16.

Held at Curly Willow Farm in Grindrod, the tea is Runaway Moon’s annual fundraiser and membership event.

“Come and find out what we do and what our plans are,” said Runaway board member Deborah Humphries. “Everyone is welcome, and the event is all ages.”

Visitors can enjoy harp music, courtesy of Julia, and violin played by the Friedman sisters. In addition, the unique sounds of the Popoleko Balkan choir will be heard as well as the visual stimuli that is belly dancer Kristi Christian and her Twilight Gypsies.

Families will also be able to spot giant birds in the trees, dance around the “June” pole, help make peony petal paths, print T-shirts, and find out what it’s like to be a bee.

On display will be the Grindrod sheep calendar rug, created by students at Grindrod Elementary School and community members.

People may have a chance to add to it while they are visiting the farm during the tea, said Runaway Moon’s artistic director Cathy Stubington.

“It is part of our Calendario project, developing a local calendar based only natural indicators,” she said.

Visitors will also have a chance to visit the farm’s puppet museum, as well as bid on silent auction items.

Hot tea and delicious desserts will also be available.

Admission to the tea is $8 per person ($3 for children), which includes membership. A family rate is $15.

To get to Curly Willow Farm, take Highway 97A and turn right onto Tomkinson Road at Sure Crop Feeds.

Drive to the end of the straight gravel road.

Choir makes its debut Morning Star Staff

The newly named Kokanee Singers are about to swim upstream with their inaugural performance in Vernon.

The choir, led by local tenor Paul Moore, sings at All Saints Anglican Church Wednesday.

Moore meets with choir members every week and says the singers work on a number of techniques and go through a variety of repertoire, but most importantly they learn how to express themselves through song.

“I like the idea that every person in the group is allowed to find their own identity as a singer and performer and that they are free to express it with clarity and freedom,” said Moore. “The only way for us to achieve freedom and clarity of personality though has been through dedication and training every week.

“I put in the training part and everyone just goes along with me and my funny ways and the singers follow me and trust me and have shown me their dedication.”

The Kokanee Singers will be presenting a number of songs as a group, along with solos by members as well as other singers who study voice and performance with Moore.

“I work with singers each week who are very different in their abili-

ties, style of music and characters,” he said. “They may be part of the larger choir or simply solo singers and musicians and this performance gives everyone a chance to bring their interests to the performance.

“They love to perform for the good of everyone and they are willing to lay it on the line Wednesday night. They are all so keenly dedicated and happy to do what they do and I am proud to be there for them.”

The singers will be joined

by Kelowna accompanist Sandra Fletcher, who just played a concert with Moore at Kelowna’s St. Michaels cathedral.

“She was amazing and I thank her for having me come to her city to sing to a very appreciative and full house,” said Moore.

The choir is always looking for more members, and meets every Tuesday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Essentialist church on 45th Avenue at 20th Street.

Moore also leads a choir in Armstrong, who meet Wednesday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Zion United church.

Tickets for Wednesday’s performance at All Saints, which starts at 8 p.m., are $10 for adults or $5 for kids and are available from the Telus booth in the Village Green Centre, from singers, or at the door.

Hangar 44 propels helicopter company Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

An airplane’s engine buzzes as it gets ready to take off from the runway, however, those on the ground don’t take notice.

They are too busy exploring one of the Vernon Airport’s newest buildings, known as Hangar 44.

With its slick industrial dark blue steel exterior, Coldstream Helicopters’ new home is even more impressive inside.

Through the front doors into its foyer is a new cut-tile mural of a helicopter flying over a mountainous vista.

“It is something you have to see,” said Coldstream Helicopters’ president Robert Gallagher, who with his business partners Kris Oakden and Don Friesen, held a grand opening party at the facility May 24.

The mural, styled in muted blues and beiges and made from industrial-strength porcelain tile takes up the whole floor of the foyer and was designed by local artist Wendy Penner and cut by tile layer Brian Chard.

It is just one of the added touches of the state-of the-art building on Tronson Road.

Construction on the hangar began last June, and it is now being used to house the company’s growing fleet of helicopters, its maintenance shop, as well offices, a meeting room, and a “tech” room with security equipment including video cameras.

The hangar was built in particular for a hydraulic crane that sits on the ceiling of the maintenance area and can handle up to five tons.

“It’s now so much easier for us to disassemble a helicopter as our company was built on a maintenance foundation. We still do a lot of third-party maintenance and repair work,” said Gallagher.

Originally from Banff, Gallagher is

also a helicopter pilot. He started in the business with Oakden, originally from Coldstream, as a mechanic. In 2011, the men partnered with Calgary businessman Friesen and bought their first helicopter.

“It was initially used for firefighting,” said Oakden, adding the two men had to learn quickly about putting out forest fires when they were called to the a blaze in the Creston Valley a few years ago.

“We had three to four hours to get down there and by then it was full on.

We went from two people to 30. It was an exercise in patience learning the ropes,” added Gallagher.

Besides providing emergency services, Coldstream Helicopters now operates transport services from its bases, including Vernon and Golden, daily, and has also grown to accommodate the heliskiing, film and tourism industries.

“We now have 13 pilots and spend our winters doing contract work, mostly for the heli-ski industry. Our summers are still spent firefighting, but now we are Canada-wide, and we still do custom work,” said Gallagher.

With a number of varying sized helicopters, from the Bell 212, which can seat up to 14 passengers, to the Eurocopter AS 350 B2, which seats four, the company is about to add to its fleet with a new chopper that is being shipped from Japan in pieces and will be assembled at the hangar.

“Our customers are looking for different options,” said Oakden. “Safety is our main factor. We were built on a safety foundation. We now have a full avionic shop and we can now even do radio repair work for the flying club, which is helpful for local flyers.”

“When we first started, we didn’t think it would grow like this. It’s been an incredible journey,” added Gallagher.

Society unveils economic profile for Okanagan Valley Morning Star Staff

The first Okanagan Valley economic profile has been released by the Okanagan Valley Economic Developers Society.

The profile covers the member communities throughout the Okanagan and includes a wide range of demographic information pertinent to the local economy including information on population, infrastructure, housing, education, labour force, industry and resources related to investing and living in the region.

The profile is a tool for market research with a wide range of users from potential investors, business students, trade and investment representatives to individuals researching the marketplace prior to starting a business.

“Member communities at Invest Okanagan (OVEDS) recognize the need to market assets of the Okanagan to the global marketplace,” said Corie Griffiths, society chairperson.

“Investors and visitors see the Okanagan as a whole with the unique attributes of communities throughout the valley adding value to the investment proposition. The profile provides detailed statistical and qualitative information about the Okanagan as one means to showcase the region as a place to invest, work and experience.”

Griffiths says the Okanagan Valley is one of the province’s more desirable places to live, work and play, and that it appeals to residents, visitors and potential investors on several fronts, including an emerging technology sector, sustainable communities and year-round recreational opportunities.

Established in 2005, the society is the valley’s association of economic development practitioners dedicated to providing investment attraction activities, profile and a forum for its members and their collective economic development goals. The society facilitates initiatives in support of collective investment attraction opportunities in areas encompassing the three regional districts – North Okanagan, Central Okanagan and Okanagan-Similkameen.

Member communities range considerably in size, demographics and stages of economic development. However, the society pursues strategic regional initiatives that seek to benefit all members. To download the economic profile, and for a list of OVEDS members and contact information, visit www. investokanagan.com.

Store gets De Vine revamp Morning Star Staff

Wine ages well. Buildings, not so much.

Sensing their facility was in need of an overhaul, Vernon’s De Vine Vintners went to work and the result is a modern building capable of producing a wide variety of wines.

“You can make pretty much any wine you want, from a popular Australian Shiraz to the new and trendy California moscato,” said Dale Hofer, owner of De Vine Vintners. “You name it, we’ve got it.”

Hofer hosted the grand re-opening last weekend, adding: “It was a celebration and an opportunity to see our newly renovated store. We’re really proud of our new state-of-the-art facility and wanted to show it off.”

Hofer said wine making has come a long way

Y

from the days of stomping on grapes in the backyard. Stores like De Vine Vintners use wine kits that source juices from select vineyards worldwide to produce quality wines to suit a wide range of tastes and budgets.

With an average 50 per cent savings versus an equivalent store bought bottle of wine, Hofer said personal wine making offers a compelling advantage to everyone and anyone who enjoys wine.

“And it’s easy. We do all the work. Our customers stop by, select a wine and get it started which only takes a few minutes. We do the rest.”

Customers return about a month later to bottle and label their personal vintage.

“That’s the fun part – getting creative and choosing how you want your wine to look with your own bottle label,” said Hofer.

Your report card

our credit report reflects your financial health at a specific point in time. It indicates how much of a risk you are to lenders, compared to other consumers.

If you have ever borrowed money to buy something, or applied for a credit card, then you have a credit report and score.

The two main creditreporting agencies in Canada are Equifax and TransUnion Canada. These two agencies use a scale from 300 to 900, the higher your score, the lower the risk you are to lenders. The lenders will also set the interest rate you pay based Kathi Bridge on your score. Hence, keeping your credit rating up means lower interest rate on mortgages, auto loans and credit cards.

If you a renter, most landlords will check your credit rating (with your approval) to determine if you are a suitable tenant. This is another reason to keep your credit rating in good standing.

There is a large amount of data on your credit report. You will find information about all of your loans from the last several years, how much you owe, and whether you regularly pay your debts on time. More than 21 million of us have credit reports in Canada, but I bet very few people have actually looked at their own information.

I won’t get into the details of what all the

Guest Column

ratings and codes mean on your credit report.

However here are simple steps to take to ensure that your credit score remains high: Pay your credit cards and all your bills on time – Try to pay your bills in full by the due date.

If you can’t do this, you must pay at least the minimum payment required.

Try to pay your debts as quickly as possible – Try to keep your balances well below the limit on your credit cards. The higher the balance, the more impact it has on your score.

Do not make too many applications for credit in a short period of time – When many lenders check your credit rating in a short time frame, it can have a negative effect on your rating. This does not apply when you are checking your own report.

You need to have a credit history in order to have a high score – You may have a low score because there is no history showing that you have owed money and paid it back on time.

It is important that you regularly check your credit report for accuracy, to see if there is room for improvement and to ensure you have not been a victim of identity theft. You can go to both websites above and ask for your credit report for free (they will mail it to you). You should check your report at least once a year.

Visitors flock into the store at Liarsville. The area got its name from the pressmen who sought the hottest scoops during the gold rush.

Following the trail for gold margaret deefholts Special To The Morning Star

ALASKA - Just beyond the dock in Skagway, Alaska, I look at a display of photographs taken just over a century ago.

One of them, is a shot of the harbour.

The shoreline, seen through the cameraman’s lens, is a quagmire of mud.

There is no landing dock, not even a pier. Horses, dogs, bundles of clothing, cooking utensils, camping gear and cardboard boxes containing provisions lie strewn above the high-water mark. The year is 1897.

In my mind’s eye, the scene is takes on colour and movement: men, glaze-eyed with fatigue, wade through water from scows moored off shore and haul equipment up the beach trying to beat the sixteen-foot high tides that could wash away their possessions — and dreams — in minutes.

They have travelled from San Francisco and Seattle, packed like cattle in tramp steamers, hungry for Yukon gold— and redemption from the grim economic depression which engulfed the last decade of the 19th century.

Some are self-proclaimed gentleman adventurers on the road to El Dorado; others are ordinary citizens, bank clerks and blue-collar workers.

Most are desperados: stubble-chinned, brawling toughs who would give Skagway, with its bars, flop-houses and con-artists, the reputation of being the most lawless town in Alaska.

Of the 100,000 prospectors who arrived on these shores, only 40,000 would make it to Dawson City in the Yukon.

Some took the short but gruelling Chilkoot trail out of Dyea; others with equipment loaded on horses or dog-sleds, opted for the White Pass trail winding for 40 miles through a wilderness of slush, shale and unyielding rock-face to Lake Bennett — and thence a further 500 miles up the Yukon River by boat.

Fast forward a century. Our tour bus

margaret deefholts photo

A visitor is astonished to find a nugget after trying her hand at some gold panning. halts on the broad Klondike Highway and the group dismounts to gaze at the remnants of the White Pass trail only two feet wide in sections, and overgrown now by vegetation.

I am both awed and aghast. Awed by the stampeders’ tenacity in the face of terrifying odds; aghast at the sight of Dead Horse Gulch where 3,000 horses plagued by sores, lacerated hooves, and whiplashed by frustrated owners, lost their footing and plunged down a 500-foot canyon to their deaths.

The trail snakes past rock falls, rushing streams and precipitous gullies; Ice-Age glaciers stand jagged-toothed against the sky, frigid and inscrutable witnesses to humanity’s quest for transient wealth and glory.

En-route back to Skagway, our tour bus pulls into Liarsville — a replica of a

Klondike campsite.

Our hosts tell us that Liarsville derived its name from the pressmen who arrived here in pursuit of the hottest media scoop of the decade, Needless to say, after one horrified look, they vamoosed in a hurry.

Liarsville is artfully reconstructed.

There is a barber’s shop stocked with what looks like medieval instruments of torture, a laundry and dry goods store (read gift shop) whose porch boasts a honkytonk piano.

The stampeders paused here to bolster their spirits at the bar (both literally and figuratively), linger in the company of ladies offering the delights of “negotiable affection”, stock up on tobacco and provisions, and exchange yarns of braggadocio before hitting the relentless trail once more.

A vaudeville show is in progress.

Cookies and mulled cider in hand, I chuckle at anecdotes, boo/hiss villainous characters, envy the lissom curves of “Klondike Kate” and thrill to the verses of Robert Service.

I also pan for gold, and go “aaaah!” as I find a teensy speck in my pan. Real gold, but, shhh…planted to ensure that all guests leave with a fleck or two in their pockets!

Which is more than what the sourdoughs took home.

By the time they reached Dawson City, all the claims had been staked and the owners of the mines had already raked in their millions’ worth of gleaming nuggets.

For some stampeders, however, the journey was accomplishment enough: an adventure of heroic proportions.

They were metaphorical Argonauts, in search of the Golden Fleece — and, ironically enough, ‘fleeced’ is what they were!

However, in the words of poet Robert Browning: “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for”?

Star opens trails

Morning Star Staff

Silver Star Mountain Resort’s bike park opens for the summer season June 27.

But for those who can’t wait, the resort is providing a sneak peak by opening early for two bonus days June 22 and 23.

“The resort has so much to offer in summer, including trails to suit all types of riders,” says Ian Galbraith, bike park manager.

“We’re particularly excited to open our new

cross-country trails this year and offer riders of a wide range of diverse terrain, technicality and amazing views.”

Fed by the Comet Express lift, Silver Star’s bike park features a total of 18 dedicated mountain bike trails and jump features and a vertical drop of 760 metres.

The park’s longest run is the seven-kilometre Paradise trail, a wide, hard-packed trail from mountaintop to village.

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.

Still Defying The Odds

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. Not only are we able to give back to human all across the United States and overseas in beings, we are also giving back to the planet.”

In the year ahead, you should be able to make a major change in a project, effectively turning it into two separate endeavors. Both will do well, thanks to your innovative ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You’re presently in a cycle where good things could come without much effort. Reap the benefits, but don’t take anything for granted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Two inter related projects might have a good potential for profit if they’re handled in tandem. Try to see the big picture, and act accordingly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) It isn’t likely you will feel comfortable if you’re allowed to play only a minor role in a big project. You belong up front, calling the shots. Find a way to get there.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A clever friend might discuss a new idea. If you believe it to be a good one and there’s room for you to share in it, do so.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) We all have varied roles to play in life. You’ve been a giver for a while -- now it’s time to start receiving.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you take an old venture apart, you should be able to discover new ways to make it profitable.

Don’t be afraid to get a little messy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Yo u r many accomplishments will not only be for yourself, but for the benefit of others. Your efforts will bear much fruit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Usually, what we know is more significant than who we know. However, when it comes to the present cycle, your social contacts will be of vital importance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A casual acquaintance might ask for help sorting out a problem.

Don’t hesitate to ask for a fee if it falls in your occupational domain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An alliance has an excellent chance of being successful. You’re instincts will tell you who will be productive and who won’t.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your ability to capably balanc e s everal endeavors at the same time gives you an edge over the competition.

Don’t waste it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It can be unwise to change your mind at the last minute, but there are plenty of times when it’s necessary.

Today, you might need to call an audible for a good reason.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Bridge by Phillip Alder ANOTHER REASON FOR FOURTH SUIT Christian Nestell Bovee, an epigrammatic writer who died in 1904, said, “Music is the fourth great material want -- first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.”

If alive today, he would surely relegate music to fifth behind food, clothes, shelter and bridge.

In bridge, the fourth bid in an uncontested auction is game-forcing when it is in the fourth suit. Usually, responder is hunting for the best game, but sometimes he wants to suggest a slam.

Look at this deal. When North hears his partner rebid one spade, he knows game in spades should be easy and that a slam might be possible.

Jumping immediately to four spades does not do justice to his hand. Instead, he first forces to game with two diamonds. Then, after opener continues with three clubs, North jumps to four spades, which logically is a slamtry. Now South, with such a great hand, can take control with (Roman Key-Card) Blackwood before bidding seven spades or seven notrump.

After West leads the diamond queen to the bare ace, how should South plan the play?

If declarer can play spades safely, he will have 13 tricks: four spades, one heart, two diamonds and six clubs.

The right play is to cash the spade king, planning to cross to dummy’s ace. That

works great here, uncovering the 4-1 break. However, East might throw South off the scent by playing his spade nine under declarer’s king.

If South thinks that is a singleton, he will next cash his spade queen and go down one.

Watch out for this falsecard.

John William (Bill) Tilson 1936 - 2013

John William (Bill) Tilson was born on May 29, 1936 in Cavan, County Cavan, Ireland. He was schooled at the Royal Scool in Cavan and graduated from Business College in Dublin.

He and a close buddy emigrated to Canada in 1955 and both had short careers in banking (he said there wasn’t enough money to support their young habits)͊ The West Coast was their preferred desƟnaƟon. There he met and married Jean Clark and together they raised two sons. As Bill’s work in surveying took them to various dam sites in B.C. including Seymour, Duncan and Mica they lead a busy life. The family needed to seƩle down so they chose Vernon where the boys were growing lads.

In 1976 Bill joined to City of Vernon as a surveyor and over the years experimented with several departments unƟl his reƟrement from City Hall in 2001.

A variety of interests kept his life busy, camping, Įshing, various sports and travel , but was always known for his capacity to help others. It was here that he enjoyed his volunteer Ɵme as a driver and dispatcher for the &reemasons Volunteer Cancer Car Drivers Program.

Together with his spouse of over twenty Įve years PauleƩe(Polly) &remstad they enjoyed the fellowship of the Masonic &amily and it’s Concordant bodies, <alamalka Lodge, nderby Lodge, Scoƫsh Right and the Krder of the astern Star and have been acƟve members.

He is survived by his two sosns: John and his wife Rhonda of Kelowna and Robert and his wife Nok Nuntameechai Tilson of Nong Khai, Thailand, grand daughter Vanessa Tilson and her partner MaƩ Baumeister of Kelowna and newborn grand daughter Maylissa Tilson of Nong Khai, Thailand.

ELLEN “JEAN” SCHUBERT (1923 – 2013)

Jean Schubert passed away peacefully on June 2, 2013 in Kamloops, on her 90th birthday.

She is survived by her loving children, Carol (Pat) Cooney of Armstrong, Marion (John) Kinch of Torksey, England, and Ken (Shelley) Schubert of Calgary, her grandchildren Erin Cooney (David Laferrière)of KƩawa, Ryan (Sarah) Cooney of Victoria, Sam Schubert-Kinch of Dubai, and Kim Schubert (Phil Reynolds) of Calgary, and great grand-daughter Anneka Laferrière of KƩawa, sisters Grace K’Keefe of Vernon, Alice Biggar of Kwen Sound, brother &rank (Ruth) Emeny of Kamloops, sister-in-law Alice Emeny of Armstrong, plus numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband Trevor Schubert in 2010, and her brother Jim Emeny of Enderby in April 2013.

Jean Emeny was born on June 2, 1923 in Enderby, to Nellie and Edgar Emeny. Edgar’s parents, James and Ellen Emeny brought four year old Edgar to join James’ brother Arthur in the Enderby area in the 1880s. Arthur had worked on the Red Star river boat, transporƟng goods between Enderby and Sicamous. They homesteaded together North of Enderby on the Shuswap river. Jean enjoyed a happy childhood on the family farm surrounded by brothers, sisters, parents, both sets of grandparents, uncles and aunts. Her early educaƟon was in the one room school at Springbend. AŌer compleƟng high school in Enderby she went to business school in Vernon. She worked at the Bay in Vernon during the war years.

The love of her life was Trevor Schubert from Armstrong. When he was home on leave in August 1944, they married. They started their family in the early 50s in Vernon, with daughters Carol and Marion, then they moved to Kamloops. Son Ken was born a few years later to complete their family. Her family was everything to her. Jean devoted herself to providing a nurturing, loving environment for family, but also for friends and the community. She was always giving of herself and puƫng others ahead, right to the end. In addiƟon to a wry sense of humour, she could immediately see to the heart of any maƩer. She loved all aspects of gardening and devoted many hours to both her Ňowers and her vegetables. Jean loved music, reading, sewing, kniƫng, and numerous other creaƟve pursuits. She was Ƌuick to smile and was always supporƟve and loving to everyone she knew.

The family is extremely grateful for the support and ongoing loving care by the exemplary management and staī of Berwick on the Park over the past 6 Ъ years.

This was not just wonderful, it was extraordinary͊ The family also would like to thank Drs. Schumacher and Wiedrick for their long term care.

There will be a celebraƟon of life Monday June 10, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Kamloops &uneral Home, 285 &ortune Drive (access via TranƋuille Road, then turn right on Leigh Road).

In lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
