Ashes returned

MERRY MAY DAY

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Jester Brynnie Defauw entertains the crowd at the 66th annual Lavington May Day celebration, put on by Lavington Elementary School.

Ashes of a loved one stolen from a Vernon Foothills home May 12 have been returned to the owners. The victims phoned police shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday. “The ashes were left either by the back door or by the back patio,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Thursday. Taken from the basement of a home in the 1400 block of Copper Mountain Court was a royal blue velour bag which contained the ashes of the victim’s mother. Inside the bag was a box which contained the name of the deceased, and attached to the bag was a smaller mesh bag containing a wedding ring and band, which were not returned. The victims made a public appeal through the RCMP to have the ashes returned. A number of other items were also stolen during the break-and-enter.

Directors fish for interpretive centre aid ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

They’ve had a hand in shaping it. Now the Regional District of North Okanagan believes the federal and provincial governments should play a part in fixing the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre near Enderby. The centre, which has promoted environmental awareness and healthy salmon stocks since 1981, sustained significant damage when Cooke Creek burst, causing flooding and a landslide, May 2. A “no occupancy” sign has been put on-site due to the danger of the slide and the possibility more debris may come tumbling down. Rural Enderby director Jackie Pearase has first requested assistance from the province with mitigated works to Cooke Creek to help protect the centre, due to its importance in the community as a provincial and federal resource for B.C.’s recreational fishery.

“The province and feds don’t seem to be taking any responsibility.” — Jackie Pearase

“The province and the feds don’t seem to be taking any responsibility despite the fact the centre is on provincial property which the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre leases,” said Pearase. She pointed out that volunteer labour has helped do fishery work in the 30-plus years the centre has operated for both the provincial and federal governments. “DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) had a hand in the centre as they helped design the intake,” added Pearase. “They occupy that centre on an annual basis in the fall to do their fish count.

They hold their equipment there.” BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb wondered what would happen if the province came back and said they don’t want to put any money into the Kingfisher site because of the potential for another debris flow. “If they say no to the creek, the other option is to move the centre,” said Pearase. “It would behoove them to do that for the same reasons, they have a stake in it.” Pearase’s motion to send a letter to B.C. premier Christy Clark was unanimously supported by the RDNO board, though Vernon director Mary-Jo O’Keefe felt more offices like the DFO, ministry of tourism and Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo should be added to the list. “It’s a pretty significant attraction,” said O’Keefe of the centre. “I don’t think it hurts to broad-base the request for support, and I don’t think it detracts from it.”

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON NOW! ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT!

Regional district directors are requesting assistance from the province to help fix the area near the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, heavily damaged by flooding May 2.

Boat is latest in suspicious fires ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The recent rash of suspicious fires in Vernon continued Tuesday when a boat for sale went up in smoke. An 18-foot recreational ski boat that the owner was trying to sell was parked on a trailer at the corner of the Hoban Equipment Parking Lot at 48th Avenue and 24th Street. Vernon Fire Rescue Services received the call just after 11 p.m. “It is suspicious and our investigators along with the RCMP are looking into it,” said Jack Blair, VFRS’ deputy chief of operations. “This fire would be the largest in terms of dollar loss of the recent rash of fires.” Other suspicious fires of late include a midnight blaze Friday in a pile of railway ties in the 4400 block of 31st Street; a portable outhouse was set ablaze Monday morning on Turtle Mountain; and, just before midnight Monday, crews were called

“We are looking to see if there is anything that links these fires together.” — Molendyk

to a fire at a vacant, boarded-up building at 24th Avenue and 34A Street. Vernon RCMP are not certain if the fires are the work of one person. “At this point, we don’t know,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk Wednesday. “We are looking to see if there is anything that links these fires together.” Anybody with any information on the fires is asked to call the Vernon RCMP (250545-7171), the Vernon Fire Department (250-550-3569) or Crime Stoppers (1-800-2228477).

Districts look to cut teacher pay for strike action

Morning Star Staff

School districts are formalizing their plan to cut teacher pay for strike action with a stop-work order that takes effect 45 minutes before and after school hours and during lunch and recess breaks. The partial lockout, effective Monday, mirrors the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s first stage of strike action, refusing student supervision outside classroom hours and communication with management. Rotating strikes begin next week, and the lockout is an attempt to bolster the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association case for cutting salaries by 10 per cent in response to the strike action. BCTF president Jim Iker told a news conference Thursday the stop-work order will disrupt afterhours activities, including graduation ceremonies, which the union had sought to protect with the early stages of strike action.

“No more calls to parents, no more e-mails home, it all comes to an end because of the lockout,” Iker said. BCPSEA administrator Michael Marchbank notified the union of the lockout terms in a letter delivered We d n e s d ay. The letter also confirmed Malcolm that if no agreement is reached, secondary school teachers will be locked out June 25 and 26. Iker said the year-end lockout may disrupt year-end report cards and marking of provincial exams for graduating students. BCPSEA says the BCTF’s wage and benefit demands add up to 21.5 per cent over four years. The union is appealing the pay

cut to the Labour Relations Board. Iker said it’s unfair to cut the pay of teachers who are still on the job while other districts take part in one-day strikes. The union says rotating strikes could continue after next week if the B.C. government doesn’t put more money on the table. All Vernon schools will be behind picket lines on Thursday, and Vernon Teachers’ Association president Heather Malcolm said teachers do not take this action lightly but they are determined to reach an agreement before the end of this school year. “For over a decade, the teachers of B.C. have been struggling to regain important protections for quality education that were illegally taken away by our provincial government,” she said. “Twice, the BC Supreme Court has ruled that government violated the constitution by denying teachers’ rights to

bargain for the things that we know make our classes manageable and help our students learn to their best ability. “The BC government funds education $1,000 less per student than the national average. And that’s why issues like class size, class composition, and more specialist teachers to ensure all students get more one-on-one time are central to our negotiations with government. “We always work hard to keep the impact of collective bargaining away from the classroom, but sometimes we have to take a stronger stand to make learning and working conditions better.” Vernon School Board chairman Bill Turanski said parents are advised to keep their children home during the strike, as the district is unable to provide adequate supervision. “Support staff (CUPE) will not cross picket lines so this also means

Lumby bans pesticides

AN OFFER GUARANTEED TO PUT A SPRING IN YOUR STEP.

Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

There may be a few more dandelions popping up in Lumby. The village has agreed to ban the use of pesticides for weed control in all the parks and public grounds it is responsible for. “For the basic principle of cosmetics, we won’t use it in our own parks,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Although they may need to be used if there’s an ant hill, thistles or other harmful issue. The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission is being urged to adopt the same policy. Lumby’s decision to ban pesticides follows concerns raised by a representative of the Canadian Cancer Society and members of the community recently regarding the negative health effects of pesticide use. Acton says there is literature on both sides, but doesn’t see any harm in banning pesticides. Lumby’s new policy falls in line with neighbouring public institutions such as the Vernon School District and the District of Coldstream, which have stopped using pesticides on their grounds and parks.

An emergency beacon helped rescue a downed Alberta paraglider in the North Okanagan. On May 7, just before 4 p.m., the VernonNorth Okanagan RCMP received a call from the Emergency Response Coordination Centre located in Montgomery, TX, who advised that an emergency beacon had been activated and provided the GPS location. “When our officers checked their computerized map for the coordinates they could find no open roads into the area of South Fork Service Road area near Cherryville,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. A police dog handler flew into the area with the RCMP helicopter to assist the search for the injured person who was located near a cut block. The 32-year-old paraglider from Edmonton was located on the ground. He had suffered a broken ankle from a rough landing. “He told officers he was attempting to fly from the Lumby area to Nakusp but experienced a down draft and had a hard landing in the cut block,” said Molendyk.

ated by Emterra Environmental), several rural collection sites are being removed. “The depots are only in select places,” said Mayor Howie Cyr of the sites where glass jars, styrofoam and now plastic bags are collected. There are only two depots for the entire North Okanagan, both in Vernon, at Interior Freight and Bottle Depot and Venture Training, as well as the local landfills. The bottle depots in Enderby, Armstrong and Chasers (in Vernon) will stop collection of glass jars Tuesday. But Cyr is hoping to persuade the Regional District of North Okanagan to keep the local collection bins. “Just to see if we can maintain the existing depots,” said Cyr. The Enderby Bottle

“I don’t want them in the garbage.” — Kim Flucke

Depot is also eager to keep the recycling option local. “The town likes to have a place to bring them,” said manager Kim Flucke, who receives a lot of glass recyclables. She is prepared to pay half of the pick-up cost if the city will pay the remainder to keep a glass bin on site. Meanwhile one local resident would like to see even more bins set up locally. In addition to the glass bin, Linda Prevost asks that a plastic bin be put in place. “At our house and maybe most others, there is a lot of plastic being used for various

reasons,” said Prevost, who calls the new system “the demise of our Blue Bag recycling program.” The main concern is that more items will end up in the trash as people won’t, or can’t go out of their way to deliver items into Vernon or the landfill. “My concern is the majority of the town is little old ladies that don’t drive,” said Flucke. She is planning to continue collecting plastic and cans – a service she provided previously for customers who do not receive curbside recycling pickup. “I don’t want them in

the garbage,” said Flucke, who was also sent a letter by MMBC stating that she had remove her milk jug collection bags as she was in competition with them. She is fearful this new recycling program will cause many more items to be trashed, especially since she hasn’t heard one positive comment about it. “It’s pretty discouraging.” Meanwhile Cyr is urging his citizens to do the best they can. “Anything new and different is stressful,” said Cyr. “I hear a variety of concerns.” But he is also hopeful that Emterra will react to the problem areas. “There’s going to be some glitches that they have to react to. “Emterra’s going to have to fix that.”

Vernon motorists are warned of several detours in effect around town. In addition to the Pleasant Valley Road construction, some additional work will occupy 35th Street and 27th Avenue until mid to late September. The detour runs along 35th Street from 26th Ave. to 28th Ave. and along 27th Ave. from 35th St. to 28th St. The roads are being upgraded, including replacement of underwater utilities such as water, sewer and stormwater systems in addition to the construction of new sidewalks and curbs. Drivers are reminded to obey all signs and be aware of flaggers in the area, and are advised to use alternate routes to avoid no-through roads.

Car struck by errant tire Morning Star Staff

It was a freak accident that, fortunately, did not injure anyone. Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers were dispatched Tuesday shortly after 7:30 a.m. to a report of an accident on Highway 97 near Bailey Road. “The driver reported that his car was in a motor vehicle accident where a tire came off an oncoming pick-up truck and struck the front end of his car,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. — Molendyk Officers attended the scene and spoke to the 26-year-old driver from Lake Country and his male passenger from Kelowna. The driver of the truck, a 37-year-old Coldstream resident, and his passenger, a Vernon resident, all confirmed that the truck was southbound when the left rear tire came off and rolled into the path of the oncoming car at highway speed striking the right front corner. “Our officers confirmed that everyone involved in both vehicles were very lucky and OK,” said Molendyk. “The car was badly damaged to the front end. The truck only suffered minor damage to the brake drum as it dragged along the road when it came to a stop.” The driver of the truck told officers that he had just recently changed his tires. “This is a good reminder that when you have your tires changed to have them torqued properly, and have them rechecked within the first 100 to 150 kilometres of driving,” said Molendyk. The driver of the truck was issued a violation ticket for a defective vehicle.

“A tire came off an oncoming pick-up truck.”

Get up, stand up

he above headline is not a cry for humans to start standing up for their rights, as everyone’s favourite Rastafarian Bob Marley decried more than 30 years ago. I’m not against activism if that’s your thing – hey, I used to march myself – but, this call to get up, stand up is a plea to all of you who sit for a living. As one whose posterior is stuck to a chair for a good part of the day, I constantly have to remind myself to sit up, take a break from that deathtrap known as a desk, peel my eyes away from the screen, stretch, Kristin Froneman and go for a walk if time allows. It’s either move, or suffer. I found out the hard way what can happen when you sit all day, adding on top of that a hunched posture that has plagued me since my mother first told me to sit up straight all those years ago. It started after I had returned from an active three-week holiday in Australia. Back at my desk two days later, with a pile of emails and paper to sift through, I started feeling a tingling sensation and a slight numbness in my right hand, which I chalked up to said hand being glued to the mouse at my computer. I knew something was wrong when a full cup of coffee literally slipped out of my fingers, leaving this huge stain on the newsroom’s fairly new carpet, prompting my coworkers to jeer me in their loving way. (I am known to be a bit of a klutz and have fried a few keyboards in my day with spilled coffee.) A week later, I woke up to a searing pain centered around my elbow and travelling up to my neck. It was debilitating and as my husband was at work, I had to cry out to my poor kids to fetch me the phone.

At rAndoM

“I can’t come into work...” Fours days and three doctor visits later, with a drugstore’s worth of painkillers, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories as well as a good, stern lecture about my posture (I am developing a dorsal fin according to one physician), I finally went to see my physiotherapist for treatment. She suggested a neck X-ray. Turns out I have a narrowing in the nerve channel from my C5 vertebrae, that big bump at the base of the neck. The nerve that travels down the right side of my arm down to my fingertips flared up, and it’s a problem that could come back to haunt me again and again. Physio and massage has helped relieve the pain, and so has stretching and walking. Turns out that being stuck in one position all day is bad for your body and especially your neck... Go figure?! You think we’d learn from our ancestors – those first humanoids who came after the dinosaurs died off around 1.9 million years ago. They came to be known as homo erectus, which means “upright man,” and is derived from the Latin “ērigere,” which means to put up, set upright. In other words, with our biological makeup consisting of flexible bone, muscle and tissue, we were not meant to sit as much as we do. We really should be running with the deer, or at least in time to catch the bus, this is 2014 after all. But realistically, we need to repair what I’m sure is an affliction for many who work in an office. Fitness balls should replace every desk chair, and a 30-minute yoga or a stretching program should be de rigeur du jour at every business where employees park their behinds for long periods of the day. And we also need to be responsible for our own health and not rely on the medical community to hold our hand. A pill is not going to solve this sedentary problem. Just get up, stand up. That’s my mantra now.

The weather is getting warmer, and so comes the warning about hot dogs. And no we’re not referring to those indigestible slabs of salty meat found at the ballpark and on barbecues, but to animals being left inside or in the back of vehicles as thermometres rise to double digits. The news about the six dogs, originally reported stolen from a Langley dog walking spot, which actually died of heat stroke while in the back of a dog walker’s pickup, is vile in itself, but it’s also the most harrowing example of why canines, or any pets, should never be left in a vehicle during warm weather. Even when it is 20 degrees Celsius outside, temperatures in a vehicle can almost double, making it deadly to an animal. However, every year, we hear about a dog who has been left in a vehicle while the driver pops into a store or to the ATM, thinking they will only be gone for a second. According to the B.C. SPCA, the temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Leaving your pet in a car with the air conditioning on is also taking a risk as many pets have died as the result of faulty air-conditioning systems. The B.C. SPCA reports that dogs and cats cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. In summer, the air and upholstery in a vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves resulting in heatstroke. Signs of a dog in distress include exaggerated panting, rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of coordination, overly red lips and tongue, convulsions, collapse, coma, and death. So if you can’t leave your pet at home, take it to a friend’s, or bring it with you, leash it in a shady area if possible, with some water. It will only take a second. And if you see an animal in distress, look for the owner, or call the SPCA’s Animal Cruelty Hotline at 1 (855) 6BC SPCA (1-855-622-7722), or as a last resort, call the RCMP.

cleAn PArk I was out walking in Kal Park today, amongst such great beauty and such a treasure, and wanted to express my thanks to those who choose to pack out, what they pack in, and make a choice not to litter. Gratitude also goes out to those who choose to remain on the main trails, to those who choose not to destroy the fragile eco systems, that are inherent in the park, by keeping their human footprint to a minimum. To those who understand that we are in the home of the animals that reside and live in the park, that it is their home and we are visitors, and to respect their right to exist. I would also wish to express great gratitude for those on peddle bikes, who show respect and kindness, by choosing to slow down when passing pedestrians and horseback riders. Thank you also to the great dog owners who pick up after their dogs and also choose to put the plastic bags in the garbage. Last but not least, thank you, to the boaters who choose to share the Cosens Bay beach by not driv-

A wish list for municipal election

K, so for the politically aware, speculation has begun on who might run for mayor, or for council in Vernon. I personally feel we need someone with vision... and leadership for a mayor and a fresh new council with younger faces on it, local business owners and entrepreneurs. It's important every now and again to look at examples of good leadership in other cities as a standard for our future. Economic development should be at the very top of the list. The old people are dying off, the young are having to leave the area as soon as they graduate high school. That is not a thriving, forward thinking system. "How to Grow a City 101"...

If I were mayor...my priorities would include strengthening the economy through economic development; working with our sister cities; attracting major businesses to the area; new job creation; improving public safety and combating the growing drug use; increasing access and transparency in city government; and making sure that when Vernon does well, all of Vernon does well.

unteers, donors and community partners, the Canadian Cancer Society is leading the charge in the fight against all cancers – of which there are more than 200 different types. Each and every day, we are working hard to accomplish our mission of eradicating cancer and enhancing the quality of life of those living with the disease. We do this by funding the most promising cancer research, offering vital support to those living with cancer, and trying to prevent cancer in the first place by educating Canadians about early detection and advocating for healthy public policies. Thanks to the generosity of donors and our more than 7,500 daffodil volunteers, we anticipate the Daffodil Month initiative will raise $5 million in B.C. this year alone, which will have a substantial and important impact in our fight for life. The Canadian Cancer Society’s continued impact in the fight for life would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community partners in Vernon. We are very grateful for your

The District of Lake Country is contemplating its options while the Kelowna Ogopogo Radio Controllers Association says it was a just verdict when the B.C. Court of Appeal reversed a court decision that had grounded the flying club from operating on a piece of James Baker farm land protected under the Agriculture Land Commission. The B.C. Court of Appeal released its decision Tuesday, over-turning a B.C. Supreme Court decision that said the club couldn’t operate on the land because it wasn’t a use that was complementary to agriculture. The appeal court ruled that operating the model aircraft on land within the ALC was a permitted use as set out in the ALC bylaws. “The chambers judge unjustifiably restricted the ambit of the zoning bylaw’s ‘farm’ classification to activities directly associated with agriculture,” read the ruling. “Properly construed, the ‘farm’ classification permits complementary uses suitable to an agricultural setting. This includes activities not directly associated with farming but conducive to the setting in the sense that they do not disrupt or change the essential agricultural character of the land. The club’s model aircraft flights fall within this category and consequently constitute permissible

secondary use of the farm land.” Lake Country mayor James Baker says he’s frustrated and disappointed by the ruling. “It’s quite the nuisance,” he said. “The club doesn’t seem to have any appreciation that maybe not everybody thinks buzzing airplanes is a wonderful noise. It’s disrupting the peace and enjoyment of a single family residential area and is detrimental to agriculture.” The remote control club was originally granted the right to fly on the land in question—a 20 acre parcel of private land the club leases— before Lake Country shut it down, citing its bylaws. Baker says at least one agriculture operator has been negatively affected and the district continues to receive complaints. But club president Todd Davis says it’s only a few people who don’t like the club operating in the area. “This all started with a ‘not in my backyard’ kind of attitude,” said Davis. “Most of the neighbors I have talked to really like us there. There are only a select few that are against us. You talk to most people around and they love the air show.” The original court case centred on the club’s use of an unpaved airstrip on the property. Both the ALC and the Lake Country bylaws have among its uses for farm land an unpaved airstrip. Lake Country argued that the bylaws meant uses associated with farming while the remote control club maintained the bylaw was broad enough to cover other associated uses such as weddings and social events and should also include remote control flying.

B&E suspects sought Morning Star Staff

Armstrong RCMP is requesting the public’s help in identifying any suspects who may have been involved in a break, enter and theft from Nehoot Grocery Store, located in the 12000 block of Westside Road. It’s believed the theft occurred between the hours of 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Monday, May 12, where unknown suspects gained entry into the business.

Students map the tap Morning Star Staff

Students at a Vernon school have been recognized for creating awareness about water. Uta Van Ziffle’s Grade 1 class at Okanagan Landing Elementary has won the Okanagan WaterWise Map Your Tap Challenge. “We were looking for creative submissions, showing where water in our tap originates from and how it makes its way into our homes, schools and businesses,” said Corinne Jackson, the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s communications director.

Kiaran Dickinson is among the Okanagan Landing students who are promoting water protection in a video. The six and seven-year-olds in Van Ziffle’s class created a video called Think Before You Drink. It shows the water cycle, acting as snowflakes and raindrops, falling in streams, making their way through pipes and into a house. “I wanted to explore how water starts in the mountains, goes into our lakes and eventually through the tap and how it’s important to take care of it at every point,” said Van Ziffle, who won last year while teaching Grade 2 at Mission Hill Elementary. For a prize, the Okanagan Landing class has the choice of a pizza party and pool passes or a two-hour cruise on Okanagan Lake with a lesson on water provided by the Okanagan Science Centre.

Three of the North Okanagan’s own stretches of pavement are in the running for B.C.’s worst road. The narrow, winding curves of Silver Star Road are ranked first so far in the BCAA Worst Roads survey. Westside Road has once again made the list, in fact it is listed three times (under Vernon, Kelowna and West Kelowna) in the second, third and sixth spot. And Coldstream’s Cosens Bay Road is also in the running, sitting fourth on the list. Voting ends Monday at www.bcaa.com/worstroads “Roads that are jammed with traffic, full of damaging potholes or so deteriorated that you can barely see the road markings can be scary for anyone to use,” said Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice-president of Road Assist. “By voting, you can draw some attention to those unsafe or inefficient roads that frustrate you the most.” Although Westside continues to make the list (it gained the top spot two years in a row) voters are urged to steer clear of the road. North Westside representative Jim Edgson fears another poor ranking will force Ministry of Transportation crews to pack up and initiate projects elsewhere in B.C. He says work is underway and the ministry is well aware of the concerns on the road. Cousin adds: “We recognize that a lot of road work is underway throughout the province and that improvements take time.”

Funds give babies books

diaper bags For parents who know luxurious style, practical function and great quality!

childhood outfitters (2008) inc.

Morning Star Staff

The importance of instilling a love of reading at a young age has a local business and a couple agencies teaming up to get books in the hands of babes. Approximately 800 books are handed out each year through the Books for Babies and Toddlers programs. Thanks to funding from Nixon Wenger, the Junction Family Literacy Centre works with public health units to give out books at the six and 18 month vaccination appointments. “Public health nurses and volunteers at the Health Centre love sharing the books and observe that parents sit and read them to their babies while waiting for their appointment,” said Wendy Aasen, Junction executive director. The Literacy Centre also works with Learning Resource Teachers at all 14 elementary schools to provide workshops for parents with children in Grade 1. The workshops, titled Come Read with Me and You Can Count on Me, reach approximately 531 students. “Parents learn how to support their child with fun reading and math activities at home,” said Aasen, as kits with books are also handed out. Note to parents of toddlers born in 2009: the kindergarten clinic takes place May 29 and 30 at the Vernon Health Unit. Call 250-549-5721 to book.

Tirecraft finally had room to breathe as they shut down the the host Salmon Arm Outlaws 3-0 Wednesday night at Blackburn Park. Martin Paris scored a deuce and Harminder Sandhu had a single as Tirecraft stopped their losing streak at five games. The Outlaws dipped to 1-4. Paris, a newbie, has been Tirecraft’s go-to-guy up front, and he opened the offence midway through the first half, Sandhu made it 2-0 early in the second half on a sweet strike from 18 yards. Paris nailed the goal of the night in the 60th minute when he one-timed a volley

at the top of the 18 after ageless midfielder Brad Conlin streaked down the right flank, took the ball to the end line and crossed it to Paris. Bryan Lambert posted the shutout. “Our back line of Torin Hampton, Kyle Richardson and Justin Richardson really stepped up their game,” said Conlin, who gave Hampton the Longhorn Man of the Match honours. Nation of Domination Eagle Homes grounded Monashee Surveying FC 5-1. “We found out very quickly that NOD was not the same team as last year,” said Monashee veteran Tyler Johnson. “They are full of kids ready to run and have great technique.” NOD opened the scoring, then quickly doubled it with a great strike from the

The shortstaffed North Enderby Timber fell 2-0 to league leading Salmon Arm Courvas at Marshall Field #5. The Timber (3-3), playing with injuries and no subs, battled hard. “Chances were few and far between for both teams who battled the worst fields in the Okanagan more than they battled each other,” said NET striker Brent Poulsen. The On The Roxx Man of the Match for NET went to Greg Poggemoeller.

Elena takes ‘Sarah’

Morning Star Staff

JAMES ROBERTS Momentum Camps

WHISTLER – The 2014 ‘Spirit of Sarah Scholarship’ has been awarded to 12-yearold Elena Gaskell of Vernon. Gaskell, the youngest skier to win the award, is a member of the Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club. She will enjoy a free Full Package Ski Camp with Momentum this summer in Whistler, worth more $2,300. She will be trained and mentored by Olympians and X-Gamers. Said Gaskell: “I really learned a lot more about Sarah after watching the Olympics this year, from her pioneering efforts to get the sport into the Olympics, to her on-snow achievements of raising the level and bar for women in the sport and I was truly inspired to follow in her footsteps.” Gaskell says she had heard that Sarah once said: ‘Failures do not exist... some things just take longer to master’ and that really made a

This was Gaskell’s third year of applying for the scholarship and her attitude of not giving up clearly showed her strength of character to the scholarship judges. Her goal is to compete in the 2018 Olympics, as well as the X-Games and she is already showing great promise by winning the 2014 Junior National Big Air championships and B.C. Slopestyle title this season. The judging panel, which includes Sarah’s mother, her husband Rory Bushfield, nation-

al team oach Trennon Paynter and camp director John Smart, were impressed with Elena’s determination and passion for freestyle skiing, as well as her desire to promote Sarah’s ideals and help other girls in the sport. On hearing about her prize, Elena said: “I am very honoured to be the winner of this year’s Spirit of Sarah Scholarship. I am so grateful and excited for this opportunity and it means so much to be picked out of this group of girls. Sarah is just such a big inspiration and to be chosen to win a scholarship that is in memory of Sarah, means so much.“ Said Smart: “Elena shows lots of promise. She is a strong and talented, young athlete who loves the sport and shows great determination, so she’s very much like I remember Sarah being at that age. It’s

great to see that Elena has been inspired by Sarah and we are happy to help keep Sarah in the minds and hearts of these young skiers as they follow their own dreams.” The ‘Spirit of Sarah Scholarship’ was created in honour and memory of longtime coach and former camper Sarah Burke, who died in a tragic ski accident in 2012. One of the causes dear to Burke’s heart was encouraging young girls to follow their dreams and believe in their skiing abilities. She inspired so many young women through her incredible talent and strength, but more importantly through her demonstration of modesty, kindness and her wonderful approach to life. Sarah was a camper with Momentum for four years and a coach for 11 years.

Heat’s Paterson signs Calgary striker Black Press Sports

UBC Okanagan women’s soccer coach Claire Paterson has nabbed another Calgary product to further bolster her inaugural CIS roster. Cassie Bratton, out of Central Memorial High School, is set to join the Heat for the 2014 Canada West season. Highly competitive on the field and in the classroom, the 5-foot-6 forward came up through the Calgary Chinooks Soccer Club, and was hooked on the Okanagan School, and the area at the Heat’s spring ID camp. She instantly “fell in love with the campus.”

Bratton, also an accomplished sprinter and skier, will bring speed and strong athleticism at the forward end for a Heat squad in need of more strength at that end with a slew of graduating seniors this year. Besides keeping herself occupied with soccer, the multi-sport athlete also finds time to compete at a high level in volleyball, cross country and several track and field sprinting events. Aside from her high school soccer squad, she has also plays club soccer for the Calgary West Chinook Royals, and was nominated for high school athlete of the year both in 2013 and 2014.

“Cassie did really well at our spring player ID camp, standing out both days with her pace and tenacity to go to goal,” Paterson said of her newest recruit. “I am excited that Cassie has decided to sign with the Heat this fall as we look to build the roster for our first season in the CIS.” Self-described as coachable, competitive and motivated, Bratton is enthused about her future at UBC Okanagan athletically and academically. She will be entering the management program where she hopes to continue the academic success she achieved in high school, where she will be graduating with honours.

Safe boating awareness making a splash Morning Star Staff

North American Safe Boating Awareness Week may be wrapping up, but that doesn’t mean safe practices should be tossed overboard. Safe boating was specifically celebrated May 17 to 23, to kick off the boating season for the estimated 16 million recreational boaters in Canada. Although boating related fatalities have trended downwards in past years, there continues to be an average of over 100 boating related deaths annually in Canadian waters. The goal of Safe Boating week is to continue to bring those numbers down by ensuring that Canadians who head out in any type of boat have the appropriate knowledge to

help them have a safe day on the water. Although it was launched with the unofficial start of summer for boaters (May long weekend), and a time when many boating fatalities occur, the message should remain on board throughout the season. There are five key boating safety messages: 1. The importance of wearing a lifejacket 2. The dangers associated with drinking and boating 3. The importance of taking a safe boating course 4. Ensuring that you and your vessel are prepared before casting off 5. The risks associated with a fall into cold water

A 16-year Transport Canada study by the Office of Boating Safety reveals some pretty embarrassing facts about those who use the waterways for recreational purposes. “It is astounding to note,” the 2010 report reads, “that in exposure to boating, where the most frequent injury incidents involve capsizing and falling overboard, non-swimmers and weak swimmers continue to boat without a floatation device, and drown as a result.” Search and Rescue personnel know all too well that even consummate swimmers have great difficulty putting a lifejacket on once they’ve fallen in the water, especially when it is as cold as the water usually is in Canada. The added issue of cold water shock is that

Water commission proposed Morning Star Staff

A new B.C. water commission to streamline water use reporting and connect water licence rental fees with water management needs is being proposed by the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Such a commission would be self-funded and would also be able to provide grants for water projects with only slight increase in current water license fees, according to an independent business case prepared by

accounting firm Grant Thornton. “Currently, reporting of licensed water use in B.C. is collected ineffectively if at all,” said Nelson Jatel, OBWB’s water stewardship director. “However, this new water use reporting software developed by the OBWB in partnership with the province, and now used in the Okanagan and Nanaimo, would allow information on major groundwater and surface water extractions to be gathered efficiently from all over B.C. The

sudden exposure triggers an automatic gasp reflex that causes people to suddenly inhale a litre or more of icy water. Without a lifejacket properly fastened, death is moments away. Meanwhile, almost half of all boating fatalities are alcohol related. What the experts find particularly astounding is that boat operators feel perfectly confident boating under the influence of alcohol. A Red Cross study found that 37 per cent of boaters in Canada drink alcohol every time they boat. About 66 per cent of boaters admit to partaking sometimes. The consequences have been so serious that both federal and provincial statutes exist to try to slow down alcohol related tragedies on the water.

software also allows utilities and others involved in water management to use the data for planning and managing the resource.” Looking at the finer details, OBWB says a staff of 10 could provide core services. “Not only would licence fees cover the cost of the commission’s operation without loss of general revenue to the province, but there would be enough left over for a sustainable water management grant program of about $5 million a year.”

A project that helps impoverished children and families in a south African nation is getting a boost. The Ver non Rotary Club has provided $5,000 to the Zimbabwe Project, which creates opportunities for education, health care, child care and community sustainable programs. “Two Rotarians from the Vernon club, Lorne Rosnau and Stewy Stuart, along with their wives, have visited the projects in Zimbabwe and even taken in a Rotary meeting in Harare, the capital city of the country,” said Otto Rieve, Vernon Rotary Club publicist. “Their recommendations have kept the Vernon Rotary Club engaged with the Zimbabwe Project and this year’s donation is evidence of their continued commitment.” This year, Angela Yablonski, with the Zimbabwe Project, is taking three other women to the country in May. Most years, there are 12 to 20 people visiting the country, so this year will be a change with just a small group to lead, and their plans include visiting the six different locations where the projects are located and making sure all the orphans are being fed and the selfsustaining projects are up and running. In total, more than 1,000 orphans are fed and educated each year through the efforts of the Zimbabwe Project, with backing from local individuals, churches and Rotary clubs. For more information on the Zimbabwe Project, go to www. zimbabweproject.com or e-mail yablonskifamily@gmail.com.

Bat season sparks alert Morning Star Staff

Whether you are fascinated or fearful, it’s important to avoid coming into physical contact with bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. Infected bats can transmit rabies to humans when their saliva comes into contact with a person’s mucus membranes (eyes, nose, mouth) or through a break in the skin. Last year, 32 people in the Interior Health Authority region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. “Many people will be bringing summer gear out of storage or heading out to open the cabin. Activities like these can lead to unexpected encounters with bats,” said Jennifer Jeyes, IHA communicable disease specialist. “Bats often fly into poorly sealed cabins and homes, they roost in attic spaces and they can even be found hanging inside closed patio umbrellas.” IHA offers these tips to help protect yourself and your family: Never touch live or dead bats. Tell children not to play with or touch bats. Make your home or cabin “bat proof.” Keep doors and windows closed, make sure window screens don’t have any holes, and keep the attic area free of bats by keeping all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings. If you find a live bat in a room of your home, open the window and close interior doors until the bat leaves. Seek professional bat-control advice (from a pest control or wildlife specialist) if your home or workplace or is inhabited by bats.

Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be found (e.g., caves). If you have a pet dog, cat, or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans; however, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies. If you have been bitten or scratched: Thoroughly wash the wounds with soap and water. Contact your local public health unit or family doctor immediately. Call a wildlife or pest control company to capture the bat. If trying to capture the bat yourself, avoid contact by wearing leather gloves, a hat, long sleeves, and pants. Safely contain the bat in a secure covered container to prevent others from being exposed. Keep the bat in a safe location until public health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies. “All contact with bats should be taken seriously. Bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, so scratches or bites may not be visible or painful but could still be there,” said Jeyes. “Anyone who has come into contact with a live or dead bat should call their local public health unit or doctor right away. Do not wait for symptoms to appear.” Early treatment is crucial to prevent rabies from progressing. Treatment involves a twoweek period of vaccinations that must be administered as soon as possible after exposure. For more information, go to www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/hfile07.stm.

Role is feather in radio announcer’s cap Sun FM morning host Brian Martin says it’s OK to be Ugly as he takes on the part of a certain avian in HONK! The Musical Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Those who know him may beg to differ, but Brian Martin is Ugly with a capital U. The popular morning show host on local radio station Sun FM doesn’t take offence when called that unflattering word. In fact, he’s been calling himself that to his 1,054 followers on Twitter, and to anyone else who will listen – and he has quite a big audience. It’s not self-deprecation, but for the sake of the theatre, as Martin is about to appear as the Ugly Duckling in Valley Vocal Arts and Big Apple Production’s presentation of HONK! The Musical. The musical is a funny and fun take on the classic Hans Christian Andersen story – and we all know what happens to Ugly eventually. This is Martin’s first major role since last appearing as the Major-General in Valley Vocal Art’s presentation of The Pirates of Penzance two years ago. “I haven’t sang (on stage) since then, and this time I am in character doing a voice and singing as a young child who is so innocent, lovable and gullible,” he said while on a rare break from rehearsal. With the show taking up much of his free time, the father of two has had to juggle being in the radio studio at the crack of dawn and appearing at numerous community events throughout the week. “It’s difficult to fit this in with my life and it can get panicky. There’s so much going on. But it’s coming together and we have a really great and supportive group,” he said. At the helm of that group is local soprano and Valley Vocal Arts founder Melina Moore, whom Martin describes as the ultimate multitasker. “It’s amazing the way she can carry a show. Not only does she produce and direct, she plays the piano throughout the production. It’s a lot of work and she does it seamlessly,” he said. Moore has more in store. She just started her own production company, Big Apple Productions, so named

The Musical, Michael Gairns (kneeling from left), Jenna Roze, Sue Gairns, Susan Evans, Craig Howard (standing from left), Don Cecile, Brian Martin, Paul Rossetti, Courtney Harker and Karen Bliss get into character. because of her New York roots. She plans to bring some of the biggest Broadway shows to town, including Les Mis, featuring Welsh tenor and Phantom star Peter Karrie with the Okanagan Symphony, next summer. But first, her concentration is focused on HONK! Written by British duo George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, the musical made its debut at The Watermill Theatre in England in 1993, later making its way to London’s West End, where it won the Olivier Award for Best New Musical in 2000. “It won over The Lion King and Mamma Mia,” said Moore, who chose to stage the play immediately after reading the script. “I instantly knew it was a show that my company had to do.... It’s kid friendly, but there’s enough jokes to keep adults happy.” Billed as the story of The Ugly Duckling you thought you knew, HONK! delves deeper into the Christian Andersen tale, following the young “duck” as he is shunned from the pond for his odd looks and discernible honk.

And that’s just the beginning of the swan song. With dad Drake (Don Cecile) on side with the bullies, only Ugly’s mom Ida (Karen Bliss) believes in her son. It’s after being mocked that Ugly gets lost in a marsh where he encounters the hungry tom Cat (played by Paul Rossetti, who also designed the set) and an assortment of barnyard creatures. In a true ensemble, they include Greylag, the pompous Goose and military pilot (played by Michael Gairns), his flight attendant wife Dot (Jenna Roze), the unflatteringly named domesticated hen Lowbutt (Sue Gairns), and her feline companion, Queenie (Susan Evans) who gets involved in a love triangle between Cat and Ugly. Bullfrog (Craig Howard, also playing the school headmaster Turkey who is afraid of Thanksgiving) is the one who reminds Ugly that one day, “different will be in.” Then there’s Penny the swan (Courtney Harker) whom Ugly saves. The fun musical numbers, along with the wink-wink humour, revolves around

a deeper moral that should resonate with everyone, said Moore. “Along his rollicking and harrowing journey, (Ugly) not only discovers his true beauty and glorious destiny, but also finds love and acceptance in all its forms,” she said. “What is interesting is that Ugly doesn’t believe he’s ugly until everyone else introduces the concept to him. Until then, he has no understanding of different. His burden is what he suffered at the hands of his community.” For his part, Martin says being Ugly has taught him that “we’re all swans” and that it’s OK to be different from the flock. “It’s not only about physical transformation, but about transforming as a character, even though it is done humorously,” he said. HONK! The Musical opens at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre Wednesday, May 28 and runs nightly to Saturday, May 31. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee at 2 p.m. on May 31.

A fairly odd experience Kristin Froneman

Morning Star Staff

Photo submitted

Brooks, Alberta’s Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk drop by Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo Monday on their way to the CBCMusic.ca Festival in Vancouver after winning CBC Music’s Searchlight competition.

It all changed with a phone call. On May 9, singersong writer-pianist Lauren Mann, her multi-instrumentalist husband Zoltan Szoges, and their fellow band members were hanging around the couple’s Brooks, Alta. home listening to the radio. On air was Jian Ghomeshi, host of CBC Radio’s Q, about to announce the winner of CBC Music’s national Searchlight contest,

where bands apply and fans vote for Canada’s best new artist of 2014. With Mann and her band, the Fairly Odd Folk, in the running as one of four finalists, the anticipation was thick in the air, when the phone suddenly rang. Mann answered and that familiar deep voice coming out of the radio told her the news: Out of 4,000 acts that entered, spanning numerous genres and regions, and with 1/50th of one per cent of a chance, they had won.

It all came down to fans clicking like on their song, and to the final judges who included Torquil Campbell of the band Stars, singersongwriter Sarah Slean and hip hop artist Kardinal Offishall. “It was pretty crazy,” said Mann. “We had a worry at the beginning that people would be tired of voting and tired of us nagging them to vote, so it was encouraging to see as the contest went on people were taking the reigns and telling their friends

about it. They told us they really enjoyed voting. We had people from the U.S. and friends as far as South America and England voting for us.” About to come to Vernon’s Gallery Vertigo as part of their current western tour, which started in Edmonton Wednesday, Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk are riding the wave of their win and continue to build on the momentum from their last album, Over Land and Sea. It was the single off the album, I Lost Myself, with Mann singing sweetly along to her ukulele, and its foot-stompin’ build up, which the band entered into the Searchlight contest. “A lot of people comment on the whistling in the song. It’s fun and we love playing it live too,” said Mann. “We wrote Over Land and Sea after travelling across Canada and after Zoltan and I got married. It inspired the songs, travelling, new adventures, meeting new people, and drawing inspiration from other people’s experiences.” The band will have $20,000 in new music equipment from Yamaha Canada Music, one of the prizes from the Searchlight win, when they enter the studio to record their next album early next spring. “We hope to get our album out in 2015 and are really excited to get the ball rolling. We are already working on new songs, which we will perform on this tour. It will be nice to work them out,” said Mann.

Monsters make an impression

Presents their Spring Concert 2014

Godzilla:

ifteen years ago, a mysterious earthquake destroyed a nuclear power plant in Japan. After being cordoned off as an “inhabitable zone,” only a seemingly paranoid scientist (Bryan Cranston) thinks something strange is going on and ventures into the area to discover he is correct. Authorities are hiding a giant monster. When that Taylor and Howe monster is accidentally freed everyone discovers it is not alone and it will take another, even bigger monster to save the planet. We say, “Godzilla is fun, scary, silly, funny and awesome.” TAYLOR: Sometimes I brush up on past films to prepare for our reviews, but I just couldn’t bring myself to watch the old Godzilla movies (see some guy in a rubber suit.) I have seen the terrible version Roland Emmerich made with Matthew Broderick in 1998. Yet, I was really looking forward to this new reboot, mostly due to the trailer. Call me a sucker for a creepy Gyorgy Ligeti choral piece and paratroopers dropping through saturated cloud cover, I’m happy to report that Godzilla satisfied me in a way that I haven’t felt in a long time. Directed by Gareth Edwards, known for his cool sci-fi indie debut Monsters (which was a little boring,) and featuring the special effects teams that made the Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings films, Godzilla really is the star of this film. Nerds online are complaining that we don’t get to see the monster enough, but I think those same nerds would also hate Jaws, which is just wrong. Jaws is a tense film because you don’t see much of the

Dolly remains in fine form on 42nd album

Dolly Parton: Blue Smoke

ountry music legend Dolly Parton reaches back to her mountain music roots on her 42nd album, Blue Smoke. Moody bluegrass themes, spiritual/gospel sounds and her trademark upbeat country story-songs are mixed

with a clutch of covers and duets to present a solid album of depth and high-end performance from Parton. Her lyrical wit is undiminished and this, along with her timing and ageless vocal performance, gives Blue Smoke plenty of integ-

the Legendary …

Parton dips into the past for a haunting bluegrass vibe on If I Had Wings, where she invokes a keening vocal effect used by singers from the backwoods hollers to mimic steel guitars. It is spooky and effective. She sets the pace high on the title song, a high-energy mix of classic clichés (cheatin’, lyin’, heartbreak) mixed in with train images and the metaphor of Parton’s Smoky Mountain origins. Her skill with words, wit and honest delivery are in top form: sly turns of phrase and a

songwriter goes back to the 1960s, and Blue Smoke is focussed on solid themes and changes of mood. It’s a traditional country album at heart and weaves in country-folk, bluegrass, gospel and mountain music. There are two well chosen covers: Bob Dylan’s Don’t Think Twice done bluegrass style and a gospel/rock treatment of Bon Jovi’s Lay Your Hands On Me. Parton’s energy level is high and that carries over to her sentimental duet with Kenny Rogers, You Can’t Make Old Friends. It has the

tinge of bittersweet longing necessary to pay tribute to their partnership. Less poignant is the informal Willie Nelson pairing, with both musicians bringing charm to a traditionalsounding track. Parton captures dusky standards on Banks of the Ohio and inspirational melodicism in Unlikely Angel to make Blue Smoke a well-realized recording: a group of songs with different themes that stay connected. She sounds youthful and energized with a lot to say.

Born in Langley, B.C. and raised in Calgary, Mann was always immersed in music, but it wasn’t until after she graduated university that she became serious about sitting down to a piano and writing songs. “I had friends that promoted shows that helped me get my start, playing at community centres and open mics around Calgary. There were friends that I would jam with, sort of part-time and unofficial. After I got married in 2012, I decided to pursue music full time, so we started on our own as an acoustic act. The goal was to have a full band, and a year and half ago the five of us started playing together.” That connection with the Fairly Odd Folk, featuring fellow couple Jay and Jessica Christman on drums and bass respectively as well as guitarist Josh Akin, also instigated Mann and Szoges to move to Brooks, a small city about the third of the size of Vernon, located 180 kilometres southeast of Calgary. “My husband and I had been travelling for a few years and we didn’t have a home base anywhere. We had some time off, so we decided to settle in Brooks (where the other band members are from.) Brooks itself doesn’t have too much to it, but we’ve really enjoyed making it our home,” said Mann, adding the band just played at the nearby Dinosaur Provincial

Park over the Victoria Day long weekend. Working with her husband has also been an inspiration that has given her insight into their relationship, said Mann. “I’m quite an independent person and all of a sudden I find myself learning the dynamics of marriage with a working relationship... It’s been cool, though. And it’s great to dream together and to see those dreams go through. You see the strengths and weaknesses, not just on a personal side, but how they can be effective working as a team.” After their visit to the B.C. Interior, Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk are about to reap another reward from winning the Searchlight contest when they play at the CBCMusic.com Festival with fellow Albertans Tegan and Sara, along with Spoon, Arkells, Hannah Georgas, Chad Van Gaalen and others at Burnaby’s Deer Lake Park June 14. “We’re looking forward to it. It’ll be the biggest show we’ve ever played,” said Mann, adding the band is just as happy visiting smaller communities such as Vernon. “We love playing everywhere. We have a lot of friends in smaller pockets of Canada and have more tours later this summer and in the fall.” Mann and The Fairly Odd Folk stop by Gallery Vertigo, located at #1-3001 31st St. in downtown Vernon, this Monday. Opening is local artist Peter McKillop, Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10.

Translated as Contest of the Art of Oratory, the annual French public speaking competition had 900 students in the Vernon School District participating this year, from Grades 1 to 12. “In the past four years, this district has had four provincial winners,” said Bridget Trainor, co-president of the Vernon Chapter, Canadian Parents for French. “The fact that our students are doing so well at provincials is testament to how hard the teachers work with the students in class to assist them as they research, write and present their speeches in class.” This year, Grade 8 Seaton student Lucas Newman and Grade 7 Beairsto student Ben Miller were named provincial champions.

Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star Staff

French immersion students Jessica Linenko (left), Rebecca Haberstock, Katrina Pleasance, Ben Miller, Lucas Newman, Kristen Morgan and Kristian Hovdebo have all excelled at this year’s Concours d’art Oratoire. are doing it in a safe learning environment and hopefully they will continue to build on their experiences.” Provincial finalist Kristen Morgan is in Grade 9 at Seaton. While for many, simply speaking in French would be enough of a challenge, she also chose an obscure topic for her speech: Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, a type of bacteria. “I chose my topic because I love physics, not biology, so I thought I should challenge myself on a topic I don’t know much about.” Kristen took first place at regionals and said after 10 years of participating in Concours, it was “awesome” to go to provincials. “At this level, it’s more than just writing a killer speech. It’s no longer about just using the right pronoun or conjugating the verb correctly, it’s about engaging the audience.” Provincial finalist Jessica Linenko is in Grade 7 in the late French immersion pro-

gram at Harwood who chose the topic, “The lack of education for girls in Afghanistan.” At provincials, judges throw a few questions at the students following their presentation. “I was scared I would not understand what they were asking, but it was fine,” said Jessica, who plans on continuing with French immersion at Seaton in the fall. Also in late French immersion at Harwood, Grade 6 student Rebecca Haberstock is another provincial finalist whose topic, “Vietnam,” was sparked by a trip she took there with her family. Then living in Thailand, they travelled to Vietnam to renew their visas. “It was one of the coolest countries ever,” she said. While doing her presentation was nerve-wracking, Rebecca said winning regionals gave her the confidence she needed to compete at provincials. “I really enjoy taking part in this because you get more confident in speaking French

and talking to people.” While provincial finalist Katrina Pleasance did not begin French immersion until she was in Grade 5, she had no trouble at the provincials, where she was also named a finalist. The Seaton student chose “the effects of media on children” as her topic. “I started taking drama in Grade 8 so have become more comfortable public speaking,” said Katrina. “It’s good to learn how to write speeches and present them to your peers. This year I tried to make my speech more interesting and to engage the judges a bit more.” Grade 6 Beairsto student and provincial finalist Kristian Hovdebo chose “Why movies are better than books” as his topic and said he doesn’t really get nervous before a presentation. “It’s fun to see how far you can get in the province,” he said, adding that The City of Ember series of books are in fact better than the films.

Life

Ecc. 3:3. A Time to heal. The slaying of the wicked & the cleansing of the earth by the fiery judgements of Yahweh will be followed by a time of restoration and healing. Yahweh is the great physician who sits and heals the nations before the dread leprosy of sin and death, Deut. 39:32. This healing is made possible by the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ on Cavalry, Isa: 53. Then follows the healing of the nations by the spiritual ministration of Jesus and the saints in the Millenial age.

Ancient art supports temple Morning Star Staff

For more than 800 years, artisans in Japan have been fashioning paper into intricate pieces of art. Naoko Hayashi, 91, didn’t start working with mizuhiki until she was in her 50s and has since created hundreds of pieces ranging from colourful necklaces to intricate trees and flowers. Mizuhiki is a strong, thin twine made from washi, traditional Japanese paper made from the inner bark of the kozo, gampi and mitsumata bushes. Mizuhiki adds a special meaning to the Japanese word “musubu,” which means connection or tying. Japanese people use mizuhiki to convey warmth, affection and togetherness. Hayashi is one of a very few mizuhiki artists in North America who continue this ancient craft. It all began in the year 607, when Zui, a Japanese delegate to China, brought back a gift to the Japanese emperor. On the lid of the gift box was a red and white decoration, made of twine. The decoration symbolized a “safe journey” for the delegate. The single gift box and its decoration began a tradition in Japan. Whenever a gift was offered to the imperial court, a red and white loose knotlike decoration, using the bonded and dried washi material, was crafted onto the box. In the Heian period, this decoration became known as mizuhiki. All are welcome to the Mizuhiki Show & Sale taking place Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Vernon Japanese Cultural Centre, 4895 Bella Vista Rd.; the event is a fundraiser for the Vernon Buddhist Temple. There will be framed works, cards, jewelry, floral arrangements, wall hangings and individual standalone pieces available for viewing and sale.

Access effective stress solutions from your home Morning Star Staff

If you are suffering the effects of stress such as insomnia, feeling scattered, overwhelmed, anxious and finding it hard to stay focused, life coach Jodi Seery at Shift Life Design Coaching invites you to learn new information and techniques out of the field of neuroscience and positive psychology that will bring you solace in the form of greater clarity, a calmer mind and more

restorative sleep. “Without the foundation of restful sleep we simply aren’t able to regenerate enough to be productive,” said Seery. “It sets up a cycle of exhaustion that can overwhelm us and can quickly become debilitating or at the very least take the joy out of your everyday experiences as everything begins to feel like an uphill climb. Stress is at the root of this.

“We often attribute stress to circumstances or health conditions in our life but in fact stress is the insidious contributor to mental, physical and emotional upheaval that then plays out in the circumstances of our lives. Rather than trying to change the circumstances we first need to master how we address stress.” To learn effective solutions and practical strategies to regain control of your mind, body, energy and life from

stress, join Seery for the Stress Less Live More two-part webinar series on May 29 and June 5 from 10 a.m. to noon. “Stress is the conversation we need to have because it is the silent saboteur of both our happiness and our health,” she said. “Conducting this class as an online webinar series allows everyone to receive the valuable information they need from the comfort of their own home computer without incurring the stress of trav-

elling or attending a conventional classroom environment.” For immediate effective release of stress, each session will include a guided energy meditation to alleviate insomnia, forgetfulness, scattered thinking and fatigue. The series will be recorded for your convenience if you are unable to attend the webinar live. Registration for the two-part web series is $87 + GST and closes May 28. Register at jodiseery.com

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Prove yourself a frontrunner by stepping into the spotlight and becoming more conspicuous. Present your proposals to as many different clients and businesses as possible. Taking the initiative will boost your visibility and highlight your energy and talent. Don’t wait -- you can change your future now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Not everyone will share your goals. Avoid a power struggle with someone in a group or organization. Before you act, decide what is acceptable and appropriate to your cause.

Previous Solution Sudoku

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Rein in your tendency to be argumentative today. Don’t alienate your friends with aggression and unrealistic demands. Keep your distance until you cool down. Patience and tolerance will be required. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) By traveling outside your usual area, you will meet individuals interested in hearing what you have to offer. Increase your visibility, and you will find new ways to prosper. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Now is not a good time to get involved in financial partnerships. Keep a close watch on your cash and say no to any smooth-talking salesmen. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Things may be less than harmonious on the home front. Don’t compound the problem by dredging up past differences. You can rectify the situation if you deal with current issues first.

Crossword Puzzle

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Someone close to you will be resentful of the time you devote to work. Do your best to counter any personal problems with a plan that will reverse the situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A romantic relationship will be triggered by a social event. Participate in as many stimulating activities as you can, so that you can widen your circle of friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have to think of others in order to avoid criticism. Devote more time to people who count on you and need

your attention before you cause a permanent rift. Put family first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You could burn out if you don’t slow down. Detach yourself from the rat race and relax. Organize and plan your day strategically so that you’re not constantly playing catch-up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Show your employer how versatile you are. By agreeing to take on extra tasks, you will boost his or her opinion of you and bring about a financial reward. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Think before you speak. Avoid anyone who is aggressive about his or her beliefs. Tact and diplomacy will be required for group endeavors. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You need peace and quiet today. Refuse to let friends or relatives meddle in your affairs. You can ease tension by planning some alone time to do something that makes you feel good or more accomplished.

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.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As high school seniors prepare for graduation, it’s important that parents make sure their teens are also planning for a side ride home after all of their festivities.

You’ll look around and try and figure out where the sound is coming from and why that it isn’t familiar. The low-note grumble and throaty belligerence characterizes the twin pipes that are both aggressive yet sublimely pleasing to the ears. Now imagine amplifying that sound by more than 30. A flock of Carbon White-trimmed Diavels set out to congregate in the main plaza of Monte Carlo. That’s where our press briefing would take place. On the way to the gathering point, the adventure took us through a section of the F1 Grand Prix track. Hairpins, winding roads and silky smooth tarmac paved the way for us. A reflective feeling overrides my senses while manipulating the same roads as some of motorsports’ greatest driver. It’s surreal. For a moment, I feel like a champion.

cruiser is one that commands attention. Even if you don’t want to look, its black hole-like nature won’t let your gaze escape. Besides, you’ve already been hooked by its exhaust note and the mellifluous sound from its 1,198 cc engine, so it’s too late to even attempt to look away. Within moments of parking these bikes, crowds amassed. Never mind the Porsche GT2 RS a few metres away. Never mind the Ferrari California with pristine paint and glimmering rims. The Ducatis are stealing all the attention and for good reason. Styling-wise, they have matured since its introduction in 2012. Though it is immediately recognizable, it has been tweaked. There’s now full LED illumination, a new headlamp cover and mounting and more, Giving the strong road presence that it has is its commanding and bulbous body, matched with a 240 rear tire; a tire that was specifically made in conjunction with Pirelli for the Diavel. Though it might look like a handful, it’s not. And if a “handful” was measured in weight, you’re only looking at, or handling, 205 kg (452 lbs.) Speaking of hands, its handling is quite superb. Taking on the twisty roads won’t leave you scraping pegs like other cruisers. And with 3 modes (sport, touring and urban) to channel the 162 horsepower (100 hp if you’re in urban mode) from Ducati’s new Testastretta 11° DS engine, it won’t take off on you without your consent. With crowds taking photos of this beautiful beast, and asking to take a photo with it, I couldn’t see any other vehicles generating such fervor. It generates even more zeal when on the open road. But for now, the temporary celebrity status that these bikes bring are a welcome change from the norm. And knowing that an item that costs at least ten times less than the vehicular ornamentation perfectly placed in Monte Carlo - the Diavel Carbon White model has an MSRP of $21,995) could be considered cheap thrills, right? I guess it’s all relative. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model was first conceived in 2008 but still looks very futuristic. It is one of 17 concept cars from across Europe and the US to be displayed at “Dream Cars: Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas” at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The GINA Light Visionary Model features a virtually seamless outer skin, consisting of a flexible fabric material stretched over a movable substructure. Furthermore, functions are only enabled when they are actually needed. The most striking example of this is the headlight design. In normal position, when the headlights are not active, they are hidden under the special fabric cover. As soon as the driver turns on the lights, the contour of the front end changes.

King of the open road and a giant among minivans,

By Bob McHugh

When Honda launched its fourth generation Odyssey in 2011, it described the minivan as ‘the ultimate in family transportation’. Odyssey has become an industry benchmark for minivan interior versatility features, fuel economy and its agile driving dynamics. While the market for new minivans has been shrinking in recent years, it’s still a sizeable in Canada. A used Odyssey is a sought-after premium product that will probably cost a little more, but historically it also retains its value exceptionally well. Compared to its predecessor, the 2011 Odyssey offered improved fuel economy due in part to a more aerodynamic shape that’s wider and includes a lower roofline. Offering seating for up to seven (or eight) occupants, this Odyssey also came with a new “3-mode” second-row seat design and an easier to use fold-away 60/40 split 3rdrow seat. Even its third row seat provides ample head and legroom for adults and a surprisingly high degree of comfort. Its stylish “lightning-bolt” body belt line, that zig-zag just aft of the sliding door, also cleverly provides third row passengers a

larger window. A bigger part of the fuel economy improvement story was the new 3.5-litre i-VTEC V6 engine that came with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM). The VCM technology allows the engine to operate on just three or four of its six cylinders when power requirements are low, such as highway cruising. When linked with a six-speed automatic transmission in the Touring edition of Odyssey it can achieve best-in-class city/highway fuel economy, rated at 10.9/7.1 L/100km (city/highway).

2014 BMW X5: Changes subtle but significant

continued from page B15

Top Safety Pick tute for Highway Safety’s crash testing results. King of the open road and a giant among minivans, the Honda Odyssey may be the pricy option, but it can also be a good vehicle investment.

Odyssey also comes with an audio-based Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) system and a chassis-based Active Control Engine Mount (ACM) system to cancel out noise and vibrations that can occur during the engines cylinder deactivation. Illumination of a green ‘ECO” light on the instrument panel is an indicator, although not necessarily, that Odyssey’s covert cylinder-deactivation is taking place. Other than minor exterior colour changes there were no changes to Odyssey for the 2012 model year. It got a back-up camera as standard equipment for 2013, but was otherwise unchanged. Designed, engineered and made in North America, the fourth-generation Honda Odyssey has a very good reliability record and achieved a “Top Safety Pick” rating based on its Insurance Insti-

This all-new BMW X5 is the latest version of the mid-sized luxury SUV that helped the manufacturer expand into markets beyond those where luxury, performance sedans The inside of the reside. Some younger readers might X5 is a study in small not remember a time when changes that pay big BMW, and other German dividends. makers, never had SUVs. But it wasn’t too long ago that Zack Spencer the original X5 came out and transformed the Bavarian automaker into more of a full-line manufacturer. Ever since they started making SUVs, their sales have not retreated. As is stands right now, the X5 combines two classes of SUV, the mid-size 5-seat market and the 7-seat marketplace. Truth be told, this should really be looked at as a 5-seater, there will be a new, bigger 7 passenger BMW coming in the next year or so. LOOKS When you look at this new model, it is instantly recognizable with just small changes such as more accent lines. I had a chance to park it next to the smaller X3 and, other than the front grille and headlights, they share a striking resemblance to each other, this is just a bigger version of that wildly popular SUV. All X5 models come standard with 19-inch wheels but BMW packages their products to be offered with bigger wheels depending on whether they want the sport package or not. Around the back, the same clamshell lift gate found on the last two versions remains intact. The top flips up and the bottom drops down. It makes it a reach to get inside the cargo area but many owners like this feature for sliding items in and out and being able to sit on the tailgate. INSIDE The inside of the X5 is a study in small changes that pay big dividends. The centre screen is huge, the iDrive controller is bigger and navigating around this system is much easier than it has been in past versions. The materials used inside the cabin are first rate. The wide and relatively flat dash makes the cabin feel huge and the big comfortable seats make for an effortless place to spend time. As mentioned, the X5 can be equipped with a third row of seats but they are not that great for space, the GL-Class from Mercedes is a much better option. When equipped with a just 5-seats the cargo space is vast, this is a big rig. DRIVE There are three different version of the X5, two that are very popular and the V8 version that is almost overkill. My test unit was the Xdrive 50 and it’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine. This produces a whopping 445hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque. And this thing flies, it is so fast and stable, it makes this big rig dance in every situation. In addition, there are various driving modes that setup the engine’s response, the steering feel and the suspension stiffness. Even in the most relaxed setting this V8 engine is always up a quick passing manouevre. Yes this is a blast to drive but 445hp is a lot, maybe too much. For gasoline buyers the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo model is more practical. With 300hp and 300 lb-ft. of torque, the XDrive 35 can make a run to 100km/h in just 6.6 seconds. Not bad for a 6-cylinder. The XDrive 35d turbo diesel should prove to be the most popular. The 3.0L diesel has 413 lb.-ft. of torque and sips fuel. The diesel X5 can make a run to 100km/h in 7.6 seconds but achieves just 8.7L/100km in mixed city and highway driving. All models come with an 8-speed automatic to help get the most out of each litre of fuel. VERDICT All X5 models can be equipped with several different packages like sport packages, luxury packages and more. So starting at $63,000 and up, the base price can be a bit misleading. This is an expensive product but a superbly well designed and engineered one. To be honest, other than the price, there is a lot to like here, this is a great BMW. It is so well put together, it drives superbly and it comes with three equally good engines. If you are in the market for a big luxury SUV, the new X5 does a lot right. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder ASK YOURSELF: WHAT MIGHT GO WRONG HERE? Elizabeth Gaskell, a 19thcentury English novelist and short-story writer, said, “How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly!” At the bridge table, how easy it usually is to see the winning line after going down from playing wrongly. This deal is a good example of that. West leads the club queen against four spades. How should South proceed? A less experienced player follows “rules” and has trouble spotting when they are not appropriate. Here, declarer would see nine trumps and think “nine never” -- do not finesse for the queen; instead, play

for the drop. But when the queen does not appear and he turns to diamonds, East ruffs the third round and shifts to the heart queen, giving the defenders one spade and three hearts. Let’s analyze this deal without using rules. If spades are 4-0, especially if West has them all, South is in difficulty. But if the trump split is more favorable, he is sitting prettier. Outside spades, declarer has six winners: four diamonds and two clubs. So he needs only four spade tricks, not five. Next, he can lose four tricks only if East gets on play and leads a high heart through South’s king, with West having the ace. Then declarer could lose one spade and three hearts.

It is time for an avoidance play. After winning the first trick, declarer should play a spade to dummy’s ace and follow with a spade to his jack. Here, that brings home an overtrick. But even if the finesse were to lose, the heart king and the contract would be safe with West on lead.

Julius Harvey Clausen Harvey Clausen fell asleep in death during the early hours of May 13, 2014 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital and will remain in Jehovah’s care until his resurrection. Harvey was born in Holborn, Alberta in his grandparent’s home but later moved with his family to Edmonton. In 1952, Harvey moved to Vernon to be a logger. This decision changed the rest of his life as a logging accident in 1953 left him a paraplegic. This accident refocused him and he was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness on October 25, 1958. Though Harvey was told at the time of his accident that a paraplegic rarely reached 30 years of age, he surprised us all when he was married at 60 and lived to the ripe old age of 79. Harvey will be lovingly remembered and fondly missed by his wife, Zora; brother-in-law Garth Davidson and his children: Brian, Lawrie, Bonnie, Barbara and Leigh; four step-children: Fred, Henry, Pat and Jenny, many great nieces and nephews and good friends. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 24 at 2:00 pm in the West Kingdom Hall, 1424 Mission Road, Vernon, BC. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Okanagan Congregation of Jehovah’s Witness, c/o 1424 Mission Road, Vernon, BC V1T 9H9. The family wishes to express their gratitude to all the care workers, doctors and nurses who have helped Harvey over the years with a special “thank you” to Fred who assisted daily in his care. We know without your assistance we could not have kept him close to us for so long.
