Future of historic building in question RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The future of a landmark Vernon building is uncertain. The 102-year-old Brigadier Murphy Armoury at the Vernon Army Camp is the focus of a review by the Department of National Defence. “The Department of National Defence is currently examining the Canadian Armed Forces’ future requirements for the Murphy Armoury,” said Evan Koronewski, a senior communications advisor with the department. “The department does not have any plans to demolish this building at this time, and will be able to confirm next steps for this property once these operational requirements are identified.” Koronewski says there isn’t an established timeline for the process to take place. “The department is still in a fact-finding stage. It will look at what the costs are to keep it maintained.” The Sept. 25, 1913 Vernon News hails the opening of the armoury on four acres donated by the city at a cost of $18,000. “The visitor’s first impression on entering the structure is one of airiness, light and space,” states the article. “There is no ceiling over the huge drill hall but the high roof

The roof itself is of galvanized iron, and the flooring throughout is coast fir, with the exception of the men’s, sergeant’s and officer’s quarters which are floored with maple. The walls of the building are of locally manufactured brick.” The armoury is listed in the Vernon heritage registry adopted by city council in 2000. “The property is not designat-
ed by bylaw as a municipal heritage site as per provincial legislation and therefore, the property is not a protected heritage site under that same legislation,” said Dale Rintoul, the city’s current planning manager. “There’s no legal authority for the city to withhold or deny approving and issuing a demolition permit to demolish the armoury building.”
The armoury is a recognized federal heritage building, according to the Canadian Register of Historic Places. “Built as part of a reform and expansion program by the Department of Militia and Defence, the Brigadier Murphy Armoury is associated with establishing a community-based training centre in Vernon. It also has a long association with its regiment,
the British Columbia Dragoons,” states the CRHP website. “The Brigadier Murphy Armoury is a good example of an armoury building built from one of five standard drill hall plans produced under the direction of Sir Sam Hughes, minister of militia and defence. The design of these drill halls concentrated on the functional and structural aspects of the building.”
Lumby waits for next steps in Hockeyville race Morning Star Staff
There’s a mix of enthusiasm and anxiety among Lumby residents. All eyes will be fixed on Saturday’s Vancouver Canucks game on Hockey Night in Canada to find out if Lumby is named one of two finalists for the Kraft Hockeyville title. “We are inviting the public to watch the Kraft Hockeyville announcement live in Pat Duke Memorial Arena,” said Angie Clowry, one of the local campaign organizers. “There is a coed adult hockey tournament going on, and as they want to watch they have invited us along.

The City of Vernon is trying to determine where the public can access Okanagan Lake long-term. Council has agreed to an update of the lake access plan. “We need to go through this process so we can fine tune what we want to do,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. The plan was developed in 2005 and of the 43 sites, a consultant recommended retaining 33 for public use and disposing of nine. Coun. Catherine Lord is questioning why a review is needed now when only four have been developed as park. “We haven’t done a lot about it and now we do another report?” she said. However, Cunningham says the lack of action over the years is not the fault of city staff. “It was the policy and direction coming from city council. We have to put the money behind it,” she said. The plan review will cost about $20,000. “The purpose of updating the lake access plan is to reflect the community’s desire to continue to retain, protect and improve lake access sites,” said Kendra Kryszak, parks planner, in a report. “The plan update is intended to reprioritize improvements to the lake accesses, determine which accesses to dispose of and address any potential gaps between the current lake points. This update would also include an implementation schedule and a budget for the projects identified in the short-term.” The review process will include Switchboard: 545-3322 information gatherndex ing, evaluating each site, prioritizing each Activity Page...........A15 access and submitArts.......................A27 ting a draft plan to Church directory......A17 council by August.

Culture covers the parkade RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Downtown Vernon’s parkade is going through a transformation. City council has agreed to the Vernon Public Art Gallery installing temporary art work on the east wall of the parkade, which is home to the Kennedy Grant VPAG. “We managed to receive funding for this project through
the B.C. Winter Games legacy grant giving us the opportunity to feature work from an accomplished local artist,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, with the VPAG. The selected artist will be Bryan Ryley. The city will also refurbish the parkade sign and install a sign that promotes free Saturday parking. Charging station moves Electric car owners will be getting a charge at a new location. The City of Vernon is moving the car charging station from the visitor information centre to a lot across from Cenotaph Park.
The move is necessary because it would have been too expensive to upgrade the required utilities along the railway track at the visitor centre. “This location shares many of the same benefits of the visitor information centre site in that it is within the city centre and in close proximity to downtown businesses, providing users with many options to visit while they are waiting for their vehicle to charge,” said Rob Miles, the city’s long range planner, in a report to council. The initiative is a partnership between the city and B.C. Hydro.

Amphitheatre focus of petition Morning Star Staff
PHOTO SUBMITTED
A gully at Okanagan College in Coldstream is proposed for an amphitheatre.
SHIFT INTO SAVINGS
Opposition to a performance venue in Coldstream is moving ahead. A group of residents near Okanagan College have launched a petition against the Okanagan Summer
Festival Society’s plans for a 5,500-seat amphitheatre in a gulley at the college. “We are not against an amphitheatre, but we are adamantly opposed to an amphitheatre, with all of its ramifications, being built in the gully,” said Joan Rowan, with the group. On Monday, more than 100 people attended a meeting to express concerns about the plan. “Our group has taken several steps to try to understand the possible consequences of build-
ing an amphitheatre in a historic, steep, deep, highly erodible gully,” said Rowan. The group’s primary issues are the loss of greenspace and wildlife habitat, soil instability and erosion, traffic and noise. “Grant money could be going to a project that is facing huge, expensive and difficult roadblocks, with less grant money available for other community projects,” said Rowan, adding that details are available at findanewlocation.com.
“We realize there are many who think an amphitheatre would be a great idea. We ask you to take a good look at the gully and try to imagine how difficult it would be to build such a facility, how negatively it would impact the environment and how this project would destroy an ancient gully.” The Okanagan Summer Festival Society will hold an information session for the public Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the college campus.

Riparian areas draw debate JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Efforts to protect riparian areas have stretched too far in Coldstream, according to some upset landowners. “In my view this is a massive land grab under the guise of looking after riparian areas,” resident Paul Nixon told council Monday. “It’s unnecessary and overkill and it ain’t rural living at its best.” Instead of having just the necessary 30-metres (which is provincial legislation) on either side of a creek or other riparian area

The refugee family sponsored by the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Refugee Project (ASREP) will likely arrive in the North Okanagan after June. The family of five is from Iraq and is currently living in the United Arab Emirates. “My understanding is the father has a work visa there until the end of June, then they must leave the country,” said Ron Brinnen with ASREP. The family includes a father with a background in geology, a mom who has experience teaching computer training (both adults have bachelor of science degrees), a five-yearold daughter and twin three-year-old boys. The parents are wellversed in English. Brinnen said the family is excited to be coming to the North Okanagan. “Canada was the father’s choice to come to,” he said. “The daughter apparently has been asking all kinds of questions about Canada.” The ASREP committee has also received correspondence from the family which includes a poster and photos of the kids wearing maple

Mighty mom
used to think I was a fairly brave person. I mean I have skydived, ziplined and I even had a baby. The latter is possibly the scariest of all. Physically having a baby is frightening, but it’s the whole parenting thing that has got to be one of the toughest jobs of all time. Six years into this gig and I’m still scratching my head and checking the mailbox for that instruction manual that never showed up with my little ‘bundle of joy.’ After six years one would think you’d be a pro at this, but it just seems that every few months, as the littles get bigger, there’s Jennifer Smith a new curveball thrown at you. But they’re only this age once right, so despite their awkward smiles, with missing and halfgrown chicklets, and their new-found attitudes, we should cherish every moment. I admit, I still feel like an ill-prepared soldier going into battle raising kids. But here I stand, ready to take on the challenge. While my own feats may seem brave to me, they are nothing in comparison to the bravery a Vernon mom shows as she faces an uncertain future. Melissa Gobbett doesn’t know how many more moments she may get with her children and husband due to an incurable cancerous brain tumour. She has already stood up to the disease and fought it with all her strength for more than two years. But just recently, at just 33 years old, the young mom was told that there are no other treatment options for her. Meanwhile the tumour, sitting on the left side of her brain, has affected mobility and function of the right side of her body and has also impaired her speech. Thankfully, her husband Curtis is at home, looking after her and their two young boys, helping her get around and finishing the sentences that she struggles to complete.

“It’s hard,” Melissa says, as she sits feeling helpless in her wheelchair. “I’m mom.” Those words hit hard. Here is a mom who wants nothing more than to be able to clean up the mess from her boys and prepare hearty meals for them, while chasing them around the house – something that I not only take for granted, but dread some days. She uses up all her day’s energy every morning to spend with her kids as they get ready for school. Then she rests all day so that come night time, she has enough strength again to spend with her kids. “She fights for one hour,” said friend Lindsay James. For mothers such as James, it is unfathomable what Melissa is going through. Yet through it all, Melissa holds her head high and even though the sparkle in her eyes has dimmed slightly, it’s still there. The fight she has is still there. Part of that is her deep desire to spread awareness about what she is going through. While cancer is a disease that has touched the lives of many, brain cancer is one that few people know a lot about, and her tumour is very rare. She finds strength in spreading awareness, and is doing what she can to again help organize the Heroes Shave It Off fundraiser for brain cancer research. The June 18 event is in its second year. Melissa’s journey has also inspired others to help. Numerous fundraisers, including a Go Fund Me page, have taken place over the years to help the family, so they don’t have to worry about finances so much. One such event takes place Sunday at Edible Canvas Grill and tickets are being sold in advance to the Burger and a Beer fundraiser called Family for Family. My contribution of buying a few tickets seems small in comparison to what they are going through. But every little bit helps to ease their troubles so that Melissa and her family can put their energy into each other.
The Brigadier Murphy Armoury is an imposing and impressive structure but its days may be numbered. The Department of National Defence is currently examining “future requirements” for the 103-year-old structure near Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Read between the lines and that means Ottawa could possibly demolish the building. And if that were to occur, the entire community would lose a link to its past. The armoury played a critical link as thousands of men trained in Vernon before heading overseas in both world wars. It is the traditional home of the legendary B.C. Dragoons and thousands of young cadets have spent time there. At the time it was built, the armoury was considered an essential component of the community, to the point that the city donated the land. But of course times have changed and society’s attitudes towards all things military have shifted. Government must also rationalize its financial resources and whether limited dollars should continue to be invested in facilities. But while DND may no longer need the armoury, a wrecking ball doesn’t need to be the next step. Are there community-based activities that could thrive there? Where would Vernon be if the old schoolhouse in Polson Park had been demolished? Instead, it has allowed the Okanagan Science Centre to inspire our young people? So much of our architectural heritage has been lost in the region and it would be a shame if the armoury disappeared too. It’s difficult to know what should happen next, but hopefully community leaders will step up to the plate and pursue options to maintain the Brigadier Murphy Armoury for future generations.

Stickle Road process off course
for one hope that Richard Rolke is wrong when he says it's expected the Ministry of Transportation will release a plan for the Stickle Road situation that will see 20th Street extended from Rona to Vernon Volkswagen. Silly me, I thought that suggestion was a ridiculous idea that no one in his right mind would entertain. I guess Mr. Rolke's point is that no one in the ministry is in their right mind in this case, nor do they care about our right minds. Pity for us. I can't imagine why residents aren't outraged. Anyone doubting that outrage is the proper response should take a walk
EDUCATION BLUES For the last several decades, government support for public school education has been in steady decline. The article on the possible closure of Armstrong Elementary School clearly illustrates that an ever-shrinking minimum has become the norm. For example, North OkanaganShuswap School District chairperson Bobbi Johnson laments the lack of money to properly educate the students. "I don't want us to have no money for students who need help with learning. We have had to close schools before and those kids all survived. We still work to give the best education we can." A r mst rong - Sp a l lu m ch e e n trustee Kelly Rowe is trying to find other sources of funds: "...like possibly charging a busing fee... Other communities, like Vernon, are successfully attracting international students." A parent at the school board meeting Feb. 9 stated baldly, "I'd like to be shown what has been cut from administration before we take away schools from our children." These comments state three facts: 1. The community's priority is the children's education. 2. Government has abrogated its responsibility for public education. 3. You and I, the public, have to make the best of it.
behind Rona and see that an extension of 20th Street would take a monstrous bite out of the BX Creek Park. It's a relatively new park — a marshland and wildlife conservation area that is very popular with residents adding much to their quality of life. And thank you, Richard, for pointing out that this "solution" would solve very little for motorists needing safe transit at this dangerous intersection. Yes, I think we need a little, or much, of the Cosens Bay resolve to gain the lights we all see as necessary while the ministry stumbles blindly along. John J. Clarke
We need to begin talking about what is really going on here. What is the government's objective in steadily limiting the education of the majority of the children? What happens to a society in which the public is poorly educated? How does the public education system play an essential role in preserving our democracy? If we look closely at these questions, we spot some answers. Government finds an educated public troublesome. The public has begun to believe the mantra that education cuts are unavoidable. Sustained budget cuts and public school closures would not be happening if a government priority was the education of its citizens. Shirley Campbell ROAD RULES For all drivers of a motor vehicle in B.C., especially those using the Coquihalla, here is a story you surely want to read. Driving back to Vernon on the Connector just outside of Merritt at the posted speed of 110 kilometres an hour, I came upon an RCMP vehicle on the shoulder of the road with lights flashing and I assumed someone had been pulled over for speeding. I changed lanes and slowed down while passing. After going by, I looked in my rear-view mirror to see a vehicle on the other side of the road do a quick U-turn into my direction and the blue lights went on — a
second police vehicle. As I was being pulled over, I noticed that further up the road, there was yet a third RCMP vehicle with someone pulled over onto the shoulder. If you search the Internet for the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act, you will find out the law states that you must slow your vehicle down to 70 kilometres an hour when passing such an emergency vehicle. You can search the Internet all you want but you won’t find a law that states the RCMP can’t set-up what one might call a sting operation. About $173 poorer and three penalty points later, I have learned a lesson that the only way we citizens can prevent the police from getting their jollies is to be forewarned and act accordingly. Oh, and if you have any thoughts of fighting the ticket, know that you would have to do so in person or by agent in the court in Merritt at a day and time of their choosing. Gotcha. George Resch CLARIFICATION My congratulations to G. Newman, whose letter was printed in a timely manner and positioned in an advantage position for viewing. In response, the first point that must be clarified is that the title of my letter, which was added by the editor, was misleading.

you think the CBC is beholden to? As for "privileged white men," that good old left-wing staple, I am not one of them. But Mr. Trudeau is.

the quotations marks around the words "informed and engaged," which were used in the Jan. 17 letter, had not been edited out, perhaps that phrase would have been less misleading as well. I understand the position of G. Newman, because it is similar to where I was coming from after I read the letter Jan. 17. My goal was to defend Mr. Harper and conservative people in general from a vicious attack, which used the "pervasive rhetoric" tactic, and to put the situation in perspective by dealing with it objectively rather than subjectively. I am not surprised, though, that it struck a subjective nerve and rallied a vindictive response. I do wonder whether if the proper perspective and reason were known, the response might have been a little less emotional. An "entire generation" was not "dismissed." Only those who allow others to form their thinking, without seeking varied sources of information and using objective reasoning, were criticized - and such people are not unique to any particular generation. It is a commonly known fact that much of the media is no longer as objective as it was, or should be, when informing (or forming) the public. Case in point, when the newly elected prime minister follows through on an election promise and adds $150 million more to the annual $1 billion taxpayer subsidy for CBC, what party do

The wood frame will match the existing wood features used on the exterior of the commercial building. Residential numbers rise Residential building numbers in the city are nearly double last year’s totals for the same time period. One building permit was issued in February worth $300,000. Through the first two months, five permits totalling $892,000 have been issues, compared to three in 2015 worth $452,000. There were no commercial permits issued in February and, so far this year, two permits totalling $140,000 have been issued.

Tyees take down Vipers in B.C. final Morning Star Staff
The third time was the charm for the Campbell River Tyees. River Fahey scored three times and the Tyees avenged two previous defeats to Vernon with a 5-1 win over the Sun Valley Source For Sports Vipers in the gold-medal game of the B.C. Tier 2 Bantam Hockey Championships Wednesday at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm. The Vipers had been undefeated heading into the final, which included a 4-0 win over the Tyees Tuesday to wrap up the round-robin. “We’d beat those guys twice this year but I guess the final was their night,” said Vipers head coach Brad Teale. Corbin Hanson had the lone goal for the Vipers while Tyler Sedlacek took the loss in net. “We outshot them but couldn’t put the puck over the line,” said Teale. “Our boys battled hard. Campbell River is a pretty physical team. They took it to us along the boards.” Vernon advanced to the final with a 6-1 win over the Burnaby Winter Club in semifinal action Wednesday. “It was a pretty successful season, I hope the boys see it that way,” said Teale, whose squad won tournaments in Salmon Arm, Vernon, West Kelowna and the B division at the prestigious KIBIHT tournament in Kamloops to go along with the provincial silver medal. Nic Bolin and Nic Teale, with deuces, Eric Noren and Gavin Fleck handled Vernon’s offence against Burnaby.
Mustangs in final against North Delta
Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs played the North Delta Sundevils for the B.C. Tier 2 Pee Wee championship Thursday afternoon in Fort St. John. The 6-0 Mustangs advanced to the final with a 5-3 win over the Cowichan Valley Capitals in their final preliminary round game Thursday morning. Vernon dispatched Cranbrook 12-1 Wednesday and stuffed North Delta 8-2 Tuesday. Steel Quiring supplied 2+2 as Vernon grounded Cowichan. Jakob Jones added 1+2, while Isaac Thomas and Nick Noren contributed singles in front of Cayden Hamming. Teja Sheldrake took the win over Cranbrook. The Mustangs had outscored their foes 47-9 heading
into the final. North Delta was second in preliminary play at 4-1-1.
Knights playing for gold
The North Okanagan Knights took on the Kamloops Blazers for the provincial Tier 4 Bantam championship in Golden Thursday night. The Knights (5-0-1) capped off an undefeated preliminary round Thursday morning with a 3-2 win over the Whistler Winterhawks. Griffin Evans, Carter Hittinger and Eli Dwyer scored for North Okanagan with Wyatt Fowler picking up the win in net. The Knights dumped the Blazers 6-2 in their only game Wednesday on two goals from Brett Zbytnuik and singles from Warin Buzzell, Michael Kormany, Kord Haller and Ryan Desilets. Caedon Bellmann picked up the win in net.
Battle of the undefeated in PG
Vernon Home Hardware Centre Vipers faced the Aldergrove Bruins in a battle of 4-0 teams in the final at the B.C. Tier 2 Midget championships in Prince George Thursday night. The Vipers advanced to the final Thursday morning with a 3-1 victory over the Williams Lake Timberwolves in one semifinal, while Aldergrove dispatched the host Prince George Cougars 7-2 in the other. Bryce Pyle, Kyle Sherwood and Joe Eggert provided goals in the semifinal in support of Billy Cawthorn. Assists went to Logan Imrich, Carl Main and Dex Elders, Pyle fired home a wrister top shelf for Home Hardware’s first snipe. The Vipers kept pressing but the Timberwolves goalie was stellar. Sherwood scored a beauty midway through the third, taking the puck to the middle and using the defenceman as a screen before whipping a shot low short side. Assists went to Eggert and Logan Imrich. Eggert found the net for the insurance goal shortly after by converting a feed from Nick Cherkowski. The Vipers closed out round-robin play Wednesday night with a 4-2 win over the Cougars to finish preliminary play at 3-0.
The Cougars opened the scoring early in the first before Main tied it up on a nice wrist shot. Stephane Richard made it 2-1 early in the second before Prince George knotted it up. Connor Johnston set Main up for his second goal and then Eggert made a nice move in tight to give Vernon a two-goal cushion. Goaltender Conor Webb made some outstanding stops including a brilliant glove save to hold off the hard-charging Cougars.
North Okanagan reaches final at home
In Enderby, at the B.C. Pee Wee Tier 4 championships, the host North Okanagan Knights took on the Fernie Jr. Ghostriders for the provincial title Thursday night. The teams played to a 3-3 draw in their opening games Thursday. The Knights booked their ticket to the final by winning the final preliminary round game, 4-2, over the Vanderhoof Bears Thursday afternoon. A Vanderhoof win or tie would have put the Bears into the final against the Langley Eagles. Jordan Zbytnuik, Devin Jameson, Darius Makse and Grayson Williamson scored for North Okanagan, who jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Langley handed North Okanagan its first defeat of the tournament Wednesday night, 4-3. Makse, Jameson and Zbytnuik scored for North Okanagan.
Rockets eliminated in semis
The B.C. Major Midget League’s regular-season champion Valley West Hawks iced the Okanagan Rockets 6-4 Sunday in Surrey to win the best-of-three semifinal series 2-1. The Hawks won the series opener 6-2 on Friday, before the Rockets answered back with a 2-1 victory on Saturday. Goaltender Cole Demers was the story for the Rockets, making a season-high 45 saves off Valley West. Okanagan (23-12-5) finished fourth in the BCMML’s regular season standings, then went on to sweep the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in the opening round of the playoffs. Vernon F Coleton Bilodeau bagged seven goals and 22 points in 37 games, while D Powell Connor had 3-8-11.

Stick curling nationals set
Sports Baseball league seeking players Morning Star Staff
Morning Star Staff
Back in the day, a bad knee, back or hip meant your curling career was over. Stick curling is keeping everybody in the game with a simple set of rules and no need to put physical strains on your body. The 2016 Canadian Stick Curling Championship starts Monday at the Vernon Curling Club with a full draw over three days, “We have 40 teams and we sold out a month before the event,” said Vernon director Phil Culbert. “We have 32 rinks from B.C., including six from Vernon. There are three teams from P.E.I, and one each from Manitoba and Alberta.” Priority registration was given to all the provincial champions as well as past national winners “so this event promises to showcase the best stick curlers from across the country.” Culbert urges the general public to check out the exciting action. “It’s also an opportunity for people who used to curl years ago to come out and watch as they may have given the sport up due to injuries to their knees, hips or backs and found it too painful to get down into the hack to throw the rocks. This sport may be their chance to get back into the game that they loved. With stick curling, you can play well into your 80s.” Stick curling is done with a carbon fibre stick device with a special attachment that hooks onto the stone handle. Delivery of the rock is simply made by walking out of the hack and releasing the stone just before the hog line with an appropriate in- or outturn of the rock to the house exactly as one would do with slide curling without the pain and strain on your joints. “It’s also an opportunity for wheelchair athletes to participate. We have three wheelchair curlers in the nationals, including Gerry Austgarden of Kelowna and Daryl Neighbour of Richmond.” Austgarden skipped Team B.C. to gold at the Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship lasyear in Quebec. Neighbour was vice-skip, The first draw starts at 8 a.m. Monday, with special opening ceremonies taking place on the ice at 11:30 am. All 80 curlers will be led onto the ice by members of the Kalamalka Highlander Pipe band for introductions, the sing-

Play resumes immediately following the opening ceremonies. Neighbour and Bob MacDonald of Ladner open the playdowns in the 9 a.m. draw. Culbert and Blaine Olson of Vernon start at 10 a.m. All games are six ends so are finished in approximately an hour. Tim Smith and John Campbell of Armstrong are rock stars in the sport after winning three provincial titles, their last win coming in 2013 in Enderby. Last year’s nationals were in Winnipeg. The 2017 finals are in Nova Scotia. Bannister Honda, Parnell’s Appliance and Electronics, the Royal York Golf Club and The Rise Golf Club are major sponsors this year,
Vipers looking ahead to 2016-17 RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff It’s next year already for Mark Ferner. Forty-eight hours after his Vernon Vipers were eliminated from the opening round of the B.C. Hockey League playoffs by the Penticton Vees, the head coach and general manager was in his Kal Tire Place office working the phones and beginning to build next season’s squad. “It never ends,” said Ferner. “We’ve already started our recruiting.” The Vipers, picked by many to give the defending league champion Vees a run for the Interior Division championship, instead needed to win their final game of the regular season to get into the post-season. Vernon finished tied for fourth place with the Merritt Centennials with a record of 24-31-3-0, and advanced because of having one more victory than Merritt. “Were we ready to win this year? Probably not,” said Ferner.
“Our cupboards were pretty “All five of our 20s never empty last year. Our goal was played here before and that to go as far as possible but when hurts.

The Vernon Men’s Baseball League will play in 2016. The league will enter its first full season, after running a drop-in league last year. A minimum of three teams will play on Sundays at Marshall Field from the middle of April until the end of July, with each team guaranteed six games plus playoffs. Former Vernon Diamondbacks Kyle Anderson and Jason Webster are heading up the league, with support from former teammates. “We had a lot of fun last season with the dropin stuff,” said Anderson. “We can’t wait to grow this into a legitimate league again, and allow for players to continue playing baseball whether they’re 19 or 40+.” The competitive, but recreational, league will supply equipment, uniforms, and umpires for the season, which costs $100 to play. You can pick up and drop off your registration forms at Sun Valley Source for Sports in Vernon. You can also try on sample jerseys for sizing purposes at Sun Valley as well.

Ignite crowned B.C. champs Morning Star Staff
Vernon Ignite burned the competition to win gold at the B.C. U14B ringette finals in North Vancouver. The Ignite, coached by Mike Cornell, Mike Gilman, Terri Frances and managed by Joelle Ho, went undefeated, including a 6-3 win over Prince George in the goldmedal match. “It really was a great year and a great way to end it off with the gold medal,” said Cornell. “The girls played amazingly well and we’re really proud of them.” Grace Cornell scored the first two goals in the championship game for Vernon, set up both times by Tristan DeWitt. Prince George – who advanced to the final with a win over Salmon Arm – made it 2-1 only to have Abby Sveistrup restore the twogoal advantage 11 seconds later, set up by Alassa Johnson. Julie Francis made it 4-1 Ignite at the
intermission. After Prince George scored twice in the first five minutes of the second half to pull to within a goal, Cornell scored her third of the game with an assist from Amy Demetrick, and then added the insurance marker with a set-up from Kristin Ho. The two teams met in their opening game of the provincials with the Ignite dominating in an 11-3 rout. Ho had five goals, Cornell added 2+2, and singles went to Brynn Korol, Mackenzie Gilman, Sveistrup and Francis. Johnson had three assists. Vernon then whipped CoquitlamMoody 10-1 with Francis scoring a hat trick in the first eight minutes. Cornell (2+4) and Ho (2+2) contributed deuces while singles went to Korol, Demetrick and DeWitt. Faith Reynolds and goalie Kaila Summerfelt had great games for the Ignite,

The fourth Ignite game was against Delta and it drew a large crowd of Prince George supporters, who quickly became Ignite fans, as Vernon needed to beat Delta by seven goals so Prince George could advance to the playoff round. Final score: Vernon 8 Delta 1. Ho and Cornell had two goals while singles went DeWitt, Francis, Johnson and Korol, whose goal with 95 seconds left put Prince George into the playoffs.

Sheldon Bayes, from Salmon Arm, rolled a first-ever 400 game – 402 – during Sunday night league action at Vernon’s Lincoln Lanes.
If Sheldon Bayes could, he’d bowl as much as possible on lanes 9 and 10. At his home Lakeside Bowling Centre in Salmon Arm, the 24-yearold righthander rolled eight strikes in a row on lanes 9 and 10. At Lincoln Lanes in Vernon, where he competes in the Sunday night 7 to 9 p.m. league, Bayes recently rolled 10 strikes in a row – on lanes 9 and 10 – to record the first 400 game of his career, a 402. “There’s something about those lanes, for sure,” said Bayes, who works at the Lakeside centre and commutes to Vernon for league play Sundays on his team Up Your Alley, which includes his dad, Cliff, uncle Herb Bayes and family friends Henry Veldhuis and John Van Eeden. Bayes’ first 400 game was his third and final game of the evening. He had previously rolled games of 215 and 277, and started his third game
with the never-popular chop-off (head pin, two- and three-pin). He hit a two-pin with his second ball of the first frame and missed the standing three-pin with his last. In the second frame, Bayes rolled a leftcorner-pin spare, then rattled off 10 strikes in a row. “I wasn’t even aware of my score until the end of the game,” said Bayes. “I usually don’t pay attention to the score.” Bayes, who carries a current average of 225 and is a recent Lincoln Lanes bowler of the week, credits new Cyclone five-inch bowling balls for helping him slow down his delivery. He will represent Salmon Arm at the upcoming Interior championships in Vernon and Kelowna. He’ll also be back at Lincoln Lanes in September for the annual 400 Club provincial tournament, which brings together all bowlers who have rolled a 400 game in league play.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder ONE TRICK SHORT? FIND ANOTHER WINNER Alan Parsons, an English audio engineer, songwriter, musician and record producer, said, “I started in a research lab for TV cameras, then I worked at a tape duplication facility. That was the first introduction for me to recorded music and hi-fi.” We have duplication in bridge, not just of boards for a tournament, but in a single suit. The North-South clubs in today’s diagram have all four honors, but will take only two tricks. Duplication of this sort is often fatal to a contract, because each partner will have given his cards full value, when they are not pulling their weight. This deal from Steve Conrad was declared by
his regular partner, Ruth Stober of Great Neck, New York. How did she play in four hearts after West led a trump? North’s three-club rebid was fourth-suit gameforcing. Then his jump to four hearts was a slam-try, showing a stronger hand than a four-heart rebid on round two. South could see only nine top tricks: one spade, five hearts, one diamond and two clubs (that annoying duplication). The kibitzers thought she would play on diamonds to collect an overtrick if they were 3-2. But Stober noticed that she could win 11 tricks by ruffing a very rare four times in her own hand. She won the first trick on the board, cashed the spade
ace, ruffed a spade with the heart five, played a diamond to the ace, ruffed another spade, overtook the club jack with dummy’s queen, ruffed a third spade, crossed to the club ace, ruffed the now-high spade seven, and had two top trumps on the board. It was a beautiful dummy reversal.

Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition affecting older adults. Approximately 30% of individuals aged 65 and older have some degree of hearing loss, with estimates ranging from 70% to 90% of those aged 85 and older. “Hearing loss has often been associated with depressive symptoms and social isolation, which supports the hypothesis that social isolation and depressive symptomatology may mediate the association between hearing loss and cognitive decline.” Try our Free Online Hearing Test today!

Coldstream Video still helping children JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
I consider my residents like family; taking care of them makes me proud. IRENE, HEALTH & WELLNESS MANAGER WORKING AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2007.
Like a goodbye scene from one of the dramas that once lined the shelves, it’s been an emotional journey as Coldstream Video
comes to an end. “Some people are mad, most are sad and were hoping we could stay open longer,” said Collen Clack, who coowns the long-standing rental store with
Jennifer Taylor. But they are officially closing the doors in just one week (March 25). Clack’s neighbouring water business, the C2 Water Bar, is remaining open.

Qualifying entries need to be separately activated on all draw days to be eligible for prize.
“In fact I will be expanding with water and ice delivery and also in home reverse osmosis installations,” said Clack, as water sales are much stronger than video rentals. But as Coldstream Video’s days come to an end, the store is hoping to leave a bit of a legacy by helping kids. All movies are being sold by donation and proceeds will go to B.C. Children’s Hospital. And so far, the support from the community has been great. “We are close to our goal at $2,500,” said Clack, who had hoped to raise $3,500. “It’s been amazing how many families who have come in and told us a story about their child or someone they know who has spent time at the B.C. Children’s Hospital. It’s brought tears to our eyes!” While some of the top movies have already been grabbed from the shelves, the owners have dug out another 2,200 titles from their back shelves. So there’s lots left, with many favourites to be found. “We have shelved another eight rubbermaids of movies and have restocked,” said Clack, who is ready to clear out everything at lower minimum donation prices.

DOUG ROGERS
All parents want their kids to stay away from illicit drugs and alcohol. However, we need to clearly convey this message to our children. Our kids need positive role models and realistic warnings from their guardians. Young adults want clarity and boundaries when it comes to drugs and alcohol. Our kids are confused by conflicting messages. On the one hand, we cannot discourage drug use while on the other supply kids with the substances they need to get high, like alcohol. Parenting is a tough job – probably the toughest- and we need to develop

Further, a recent publication by the Center for Substance Abuse Research (www. cesar.umd.edu) identifies the four characteristics of outstanding parents. Virtually all mothers and fathers are concerned about the challenges of raising their kids in today’s world. However, many fail to take the essential actions to prevent their kids from smoking, drinking or using drugs. The four actions suggested by CESAR include: 1. Monitor school night socializing .The later teens stay out, the more likely they are to use alcohol or other drugs, even among older teens.

2. Safeguard prescription drugs. Onethird of teens who know someone who abuses prescription drugs say that the person obtained the drugs from parents, home, or medicine cabinets. 3. Parents need to regularly talk about drugs and set a no-use policy for their kids. 4. Set a good example. Stay away from illicit drugs and use alcohol responsibly. By following these points parents can help their children to live healthy, drug-free lives and become part of the solution.

Spring sprouts tick season Morning Star Staff
The change to spring weather brings out ticks – small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease. Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas, so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors, are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites. “The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni), which is not known to carry the Lyme disease bacteria,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, medical health officer with the Interior Health Authority. “The wood tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is very rare. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed.” The tick species that carries Lyme disease (Ixodes pacificus) is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low numbers in areas within Interior Health. Less than one per cent of Ixodes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease. In addition to fever, headache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite. “Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” said Mema. “It is important to watch for signs of ticktransmitted illnesses. Signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash. Anyone who experiences a bulls-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.” Other precautions include: Walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and lightcoloured clothing. Tucking pant legs into socks or boots. Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. Having a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live. If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it. Use

Local students will get help exploring their options for high-tech and trades training. The provincial government is providing $25,000 each to the North Okanagan-Shuswap and Vernon school districts to launch the Shoulder Tappers program. “This grant will help execute programs that can point students on the path toward exciting careers,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. The program enlists career co-ordinators or recruitment specialists who work closely with students to help them connect with trades and technical training, as well as on-the-job experience. Co-ordinators help mentor elementary and secondary school students and facilitate student access to technical, academic and vocational courses in industries as diverse as aircraft engineering, heavyduty mechanics, information technology and earlychildhood education. The co-ordinators also work closely with employers, the Industry Training Authority and the CES Career Education Society to connect students with opportunities.

Wildfire fines rising Morning Star Staff
A crackdown on people who may cause wildfires has ignited support. Proposed legislative amendments include provisions aimed specifically at people who interfere with firefighting efforts in B.C. Eric Foster “Between 30 and 40 per cent of wildfires in B.C. are caused by humans,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA. “Wildfire prevention is everyone’s responsibility, and these legislative amendments contain tough new regulations to discourage people
Come and visit ‘Your
from interfering with our firefighting crews, and violating our wildfire laws.” Additional legislative changes will result in significantly increased ticket fines for 19 violations under the Wildfire Act and for seven violations under Wildfire Regulation. For example, the fine for failing to comply with a fire restriction under the Wildfire Act is increasing from $345 (including a $45 victim surcharge) to $1,150 (including a $150 victim surcharge). The proposed amendments would also clarify that interference does not have to be intentional to constitute a contravention of the Wildfire Act. The 2015 fire season saw more than 283,400 hectares burned and more than $278 million spent on wildfire management.

The B.C. government is ending its practice of deducting WorkSafeBC death benefits from income assistance collected by the survivors. The regulatory change is being made after Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog questioned the government about a constituent who has had her four-year-old son’s benefit deducted since she began receiving income assistance. The father disappeared and was presumed drowned while working on a log boom at Port Mellon in 2011, before the child was born. The boy was eligible for $286.72 per month in a WorkSafeBC benefit because his father was killed on the job, but under the province’s income assistance policy, that amount was deducted, leaving the mother with $658 a month. Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said Tuesday she has instructed ministry staff to change the regulation, similar to a change that was made last September to exempt Canada Pension Plan orphan benefits. Stilwell said there appear to be only a few cases involving WorkSafeBC, and she was not aware of them when regulations were changed to stop
deducting CPP and parental child support payments. “As with many government benefits, when it comes to staff members, they follow it word for word,” Stilwell said. As of last September, single parents on income assistance are allowed to keep child support payments made by the other parent. That affected about 3,200 families and 5,400 children. NDP social development critic Michelle Mungall said that since the Nanaimo case came to light, MLAs have heard of similar cases involving WorkSafeBC child benefits. She urged the government to make the change as quickly as possible. “New Democrats advocated for more than a year to end the child support clawback, and we saw success on that, and at the same time, the government made the right decision to end the clawback of CPP orphan benefits,” said Mungall. Income assistance payments in B.C. were last increased in 2007. For an employable adult, the rate is $235 per month plus a maximum shelter allowance of $375 a month. For an employable single parent with one child, the rate is $375.58 plus $570 for shelter.

Master’s student shows his island in Mniku Jordan Bennett breathes life back into two indigenous cultures of his native Newfoundland Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
It sounds like white noise at first. The hum vibrates and then changes into the crackle of fire and the rush of water as you approach the brightly coloured piece on the wall. What looks like a circular conglomeration of geometrical lines and shapes comes to life upon closer inspection. Inlaid on carved yellow cedar are intricately painted symbols and designs relating to the first peoples from the far off island of Newfoundland. This is Jordan Bennett’s Mniku, or island, as told in the language of Bennett’s ancestors, the Mi’kmaq, which is currently on exhibition at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. “You know about who you are the longer you spend the time and stay with the piece,” says Bennett, as his reason for installing sound to his first solo exhibition of this particular work. “If you don’t get close, you’ll just hear static.” Mniku is Bennett’s way to bring back the practices, both contemporary and historical, of not only the Mi’kmaq, but also of the Beothuk, who were indigenous to Newfoundland before becoming extinct around the time of European settlement in the early1800s. He does this through a contemporary indigenous lens. “It’s an homage to both the visual motifs of both and a way to make the space exist for them again. Each piece acts as its own island,” said Bennett. Originally from Stephenville Crossing on the west coast of the Rock, Bennett is now in his second and final year of completing his master of fine arts degree at

Newfoundland’s Jordan Bennett, who is completing his master’s in fine art at UBC Okanagan, is showing his exhibition Mniku at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Bennett’s Hunt Guide In Red Cedar (below).
UBC Okanagan. Already an established artist, who was awarded the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Councils Artist of the Year and named as one of the artists in the 2014 Blouin ARTINFO’s Top 30 under 30 in Canada, Bennett last showed his work at the VPAG in Decolonize Me, a group exhibition on First Nations contemporary art that was organized by the Ottawa Art Gallery. Mniku is Bennett’s master’s thesis exhibition.
To create the work, Bennett conducted extensive research that not only took him to museums, art galleries and archives around the country, but also to his homeland. For example, the water and fire heard in his sound installation, which is triggered by movement, was recorded on a visit to the Exploits River that flows through the central part of Newfoundland. “We also went moose hunting to a place called Big Pond, which was a meeting place between the Beothuk and the Mi’kmaq,” said Bennett. “People say the Mi’kmaq were not originally part of Newfoundland. The history is very convoluted. Most of my people put written history aside and rely on the oral accounts.” In a way to counteract with the natural side, Bennett recorded the ambient sound, actually the hum
of air conditioning, while observing historical drawings at The Rooms collections and archives in St. John’s. All this leads the viewer closer to the art on the walls. “It took quite a while to balance both Beothuk and Mi’kmaq designs. I wanted to look at the relationship on how the two function together,” said Bennett. “There’s lots of symbolism here. Some are known, some are not. My goal is to give them new life... a place to breathe again.” Bennett’s first piece, a sampler called Hunt Guide in Red Cedar, plays with the designs and shapes of putting the Beothuk and Mi’kmaq together. Its name comes from the Hunt family, including Bradley Hunt, who is a master carver from Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast, who opened his studio to Bennett so he could study carving techniques using
hand tools. There is another West Coast angle to Bennett’s work. He sourced the yellow cedar from a sawmill up the coast. “We suspect the wood came from Bella Bella or Haida Gwaii from a tree that was 1,000 years old. The sawmill is run by friends of mine who give the community first choice of what they cut,” said Bennett. The vibrant, neon-like acrylic painted intricate patterns on the wood comes from porcupine quills the Mi’kmaq used to embed in baskets and boxes. “I took time to look at the patterns of my culture to create this sort of fifth dimension,” said Bennett. “This is my interpretation of my people. If they had these colours in the day, they would have used them. Indigenous art was contemporary for the times.” While another one of Bennett’s pieces shows the belly of a pond, trout eggs and a fish ladder, other shapes and patterns, including drilled holes into the wood surface, are influenced by found objects, such as flat bone carvings and pendants, which were uncovered in burial sites of the Beothuk. These influences can also be seen in the drawings done by a woman named Shanawdithit, who was the last known Beothuk to live before succumbing to tuberculosis in 1829 at the approximate age of 29. “She is renowned in Newfoundland and was taken from her home to St. John’s to work as a house maid,” said Bennett, who has some of her drawings tattooed on his arms. Bennett’s own drawings and smaller paintings on paper, to show his creative process, are also part of Mniku. “This is just the beginning of a lifetime of work for me,” said Bennett, who next travels to Campbelltown, Australia to show his work. Mniku can now be viewed at the VPAG from now to May 18. More information is available at vernonpublicartgallery.com or call 250-545-3173.

hen they were young, growing up in Grimsby, an English port town, brothers Nobby and Sebastian could not be separated, until their parents died. Separated due to Sebastian being adopted and whisked off to a posh London family, Nobby stays behind, growing up to be a dim-witted hooligan. Years later, Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen) who now has a family of Taylor and Howe his own, still keeps his brother’s room as it was, hoping he’ll come back. Sebastian (Mark Strong), now a hyper-capable MI6 agent, accidentally falls back into Nobby’s life when a dangerous mission brings them together. Now Sebastian will need his idiot brother’s help to save the day. We say, “It’s more of the same from Sacha Baron Cohen.” HOWE: I am from Grimsby. As the town for the setting of this film is my native home, I was at least curious about the film, but it stank. There were about two scenes in the entire movie that were filmed there: Blundell Park, home of the Mighty Mariners (Grimsby Town Football Club) and the world famous Grimsby Fish Dock Tower. If you do venture to go see The Brothers Grimsby, just remember that my hometown itself looks nothing like this. Most of it was filmed in Essex. TAYLOR: I’m sorry you were robbed of viewing your hometown on the big screen. That’s always disappointing. The Brothers Grimsby as a movie is

Mark Strong is the spy and Sacha Baron Cohen is the idiot in The Brothers Grimsby, an action comedy. also underwhelming. It’s an action film with atypical Baron Cohen jokes thrown in, crude, rude, sometimes shocking and always genital related. HOWE: While some of the movie made me laugh, about 80 per cent of it was more cringe worthy than giggle worthy, but I have come to terms with the fact that this is what Baron Cohen gives us. We have seen it in his other films, Borat for example, so why expect anything different this time? If you like that sort of thing, then this is the film for you. If not, I would say stay far away from it. TAYLOR: The movie is very restricted, which means the genital jokes, while inventive, are wasted on empty seats. If the film had been made available to kids, it probably would have been better. But this is not a Borat, Bruno or Ali G.
Baron Cohen is not making a statement with The Brothers Grimsby, it’s just a scripted movie and not a very good one at that. However, it is unique. No one does Baron Cohen like Baron Cohen and you are going to see things you have never seen before. Too bad everyone has the wrong accent, eh Pete? HOWE: I will give it this, though, Baron Cohen has tried something a little different this time. He has made an action movie and the effects are pretty good. There are car and motorbike chases and fight scenes and both are very well done, even going as far as saying they would pass in a Tom Cruise or Matt Damon movie. – Taylor gives The Brothers Grimsby 2.5 sideburns out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 flip flops out of 5.

Still dreaming
Jeff Buckley: You and I
B
ono once said, “Jeff Buckley is a pure drop in an ocean of noise.” The dewy eyed Dubliner’s love of grandiose proclamation can be annoying, but here his hyperbole is justified. Buckley died nearly 20 years ago but in a world where auto tune hovers around Dean Gordon-Smith like an unnecessary evil, he still stands alone. You and I is essentially an album of demos, but they’re well worth the listening because of Buckley’s intense creativity and individualism. Sometimes with an artist you understand that they just have to be themselves no matter what, and so it was with Buckley. His conviction was inspiring. He deconstructed well known songs in free-form fashion. The songs are Buckley and guitar
Street SoundS
and the two are powerful enough to get any nuance of his imagination across. Just Like a Woman is drawn out long and flowing and Everyday People has a funky guitar treatment. At times the recording is unsettling. Buckley’s reputation was founded on artistic integrity and the candid context of the album focuses on how expressive his voice was. This character is haunting, and although Buckley’s voice and music had that undercurrent when he was alive, the posthumous release amplifies this. If Buckley hadn’t drowned in 1997, this album wouldn’t be out now, but this limited recording warrants its release. Buckley’s reworkings of songs by The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Louis Jordan and old blues songs are true reinterpretations and the early takes of his own songs Dream of You and I and Grace are beautiful performances. You and I is well edited and the music has a proper context. Early material is sketched out in candid form by a musician who never hit mainstream, but didn’t need to.

eliSheva Benjamin Special to The Morning Star
Dan and Jackie were married a year ago and had a baby 10 months into the marriage. Dan had been noticing that Jackie was coming to bed at 2 a.m. and rising at 6 a.m. He did not say anything to her about it because she said that she has never felt so good. Dan thought Jackie was experiencing hyper sexuality because she was always frisky. Jackie was a stayat-home mother but she was seldom home for most of the day. She would talk to Dan in the evening with grandiose ideas about starting a business in her home. Dan — Elisheva Benjamin began to wonder seriously what was happening with her. One day it bothered him so much he left work early to talk to her about this. When he came home she was not there so he checked the mail. The Visa bill came in and Dan opened it. He usually did not see it, as Jackie handled the household expenses. The bill was more than $5,000. Dan thought there was a mistake as he was not expecting anything more than a couple of hundred dollars. Jackie came home and Dan immediately asked her how the Visa got to be so much. She began talking in an accelerated speech that she did not realize that it was so much. Dan was at his wits’ end and he said to Jackie that she needed to go to the doctor to find out if anything was wrong with her. He decided to come with her to make sure all the details were explained. The doctor diagnosed her with mania and asked Jackie if she had any symptoms of depression. Jackie said that she was teary-eyed just before the birth of their son. The doctor was not sure if she had bi-polar but asked her to fill out the depression screening form. She said that she felt worthless during that time and had suicidal thoughts. The doctor put her on some mood-stabilizing drugs. Jackie felt isolated because she could no longer spend money like she had. She needed to talk to someone who had been through the same thing. The Canadian Mental Health Association was the place for her. At Peer Support Services she was understood and supported by individuals with lived experience as well as given further information as well as resources that help the manic symptoms. Dan was thankful that she was receiving help. For more information, email peeroutreach.vernon@ cmha.bc.ca, call 250-542-6155 or drop by 3100-28th Ave. Elisheva Benjamin is assistant to the coordinator of Peer Support Services at the CMHA, Vernon branch.

The hummingbirds are hovering Karen SiemenS Special to The Morning Star
They have arrived! Reports of hummers in the Bella Vista area! Time to unearth your feeders, give them a clean and fill them with nectar to give life support to our fine feathered friends after their long journey north. They rely on the nectar to give them energy to feed on insects which are not plentiful at the moment. If you cannot commit to maintaining a feeder for the whole season then consider planting a hummingbird garden in containers or hanging baskets. Here are some tips to responsibly and successfully feed the hummingbirds. Clean Feeders Clean with hot water (no soap). Feeder should be completely dismantled and feeding ports taken apart. Use a bottle brush for inverted feeders and pipe cleaners for the small holes. Every time you refill your feeder take it apart and rinse with hot water. Twice a week use the brush and pipe cleaners to ensure it’s clean. Black mould is a death sentence to hummingbirds. If there is any sign of it
soak your feeder for one hour in a mixture of 1/4 cup bleach to one gallon of water. Rinse the parts several times in hot water to remove all traces of the bleach. Feeders Glass feeders are the best. If you buy plastic make sure that it is “Food Grade Plastic” or “UV Stablized.” This ensures there is no chemical leakage into the food they eat. Cheap plastic disintegrates and will contaminate the food. Whether you use upside down feeders or the basin style make sure that the feeder can be completely dismantled for cleaning. Food The best food for the hummingbirds is made by you! One part white sugar to four parts water. Boil water then add sugar, stir till it dissolves. Cool to room temperature before filling feeder. You can store this in the fridge for seven days. Never use brown sugar, honey or sugar substitutes as these contain components that will harm the birds. Do not use red dye (the red on the feeder is all that is needed to attract them). Do not add scent. If the food is cloudy it is bad; clean
feeder and refill. Even though it may not look like it, the food can go bad quickly in hot weather. To avoid mould change your food frequently, err on the side of caution. Temperature 25 degrees or less, change every four days; 25 to 30 degrees, every two days; over 30, every day. Plants You may already have perennial hummingbird plants in your garden like bee balm, bleeding hearts, columbine, foxglove, honeysuckle, joe pye plant and Russian sage to name a few, but you can accent those plants with annuals in containers or hanging baskets. These can be salvia, fuschia, snapdragons, verbena, zinnia and the old favourite, petunias. Keep your hanging baskets beyond the reach of predators. Enjoy another season of watching hummingbirds’ antics in your garden or around your feeders. For more information, see rpbo.org/ hummingbirds.php (Rocky Point Bird Observatory in Victoria.

Madge Callens 1912 – 2016
In 1967, he joined Air Canada as a Station Attendant (Ramp Rat). It was in this position that he met Patsy, who, as a Flight Attendant (Stewardess) passed through Calgary quite often.

In 1990, Patsy told him she was moving back to B.C.; he could come too if he wanted. He did, and grew to love the Okanagan Valley. He was a season ticket holder for the Vernon Vipers and never missed a game, but nothing could surpass his love of the game of golf. He joined the Vernon Golf and Country Club and his passion took off. He cared so much for all his golf buddies and was looking forward to another year of golf with the “Vintage 8�.
Forever missed by her three children: Larry (Alice), Ian (Marg) and Jeanne (Rick) Garner, 6 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. A celebration of life service will be held at the Mara Community Hall on Easter Saturday March 26, 2016 at 2 p.m. with tributes by family and friends. Refreshments will be provided by the Order of the Eastern Star.
Norm will be missed dearly by his wife Patsy; son Gregory; daughter Amy; his beloved grandchildren, Kellan and Tenley. He will also be missed by all his golf buddies and his fellow car club buds. No funeral by request. Cremation. Memorial Service to be announced at a later date. Those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Norm may do so to the North Okanagan Hospice Society or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

George is survived by his wife, Joann Goldthorpe; his four children, Margaret (Matt) McLenehan of Lumby, B.C., Janet McQueen of Victoria, B.C., Alistair McQueen of Binche, B.C. and James (Lorie Srivastava) McQueen of Vancouver, B.C.; six grandchildren, Loughlin McQueen of Vernon, B.C., Grayson Lepp of Grande Prairie, Alberta, Brandon Lepp of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Shawn (Candice) Linklater of Edmonton, Alberta, Alex (Christina Drewes) Linklater of Calgary, Alberta and Ilina McQueen of Vancouver, B.C.; and three greatgrandchildren, Abigail and Addison Linklater of Edmonton, Alberta and Ayla Linklater of Calgary, Alberta. He was preceded in death by his first wife Janet, to whom he was married for 57 years; and his sister, Caroline. Our father, grandfather and great-grandfather lived a full and adventurous life. He joined the British Army (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, Princess Louise’s) in 1944, serving in India, Malaysia and Korea. While in Korea, he took ill and was sent to a Commonwealth Military Hospital in Kure, Japan. There he met his future bride, Nurse Janet Loughlin McMorland. They were married in 1952. Dad resigned from the British Army and he and Mom moved to Canada, where he enlisted in the Canadian Army (Black Watch, Royal Highland Regiment). During this time he fathered four children, served with the UN Peace Keepers in India/Pakistan, Kashmir and the Middle East. He retired from the Army with the rank of Major in October 1977. In 1978, Dad, Mom and their youngest child, James, moved from Winnipeg to Lumby. There he was active in the community, serving as a School Board Trustee and Chairman.

MINIFIE, Stuart William
It is with heavy hearts that we regret to announce the passing of Stuart William Minifie on March 13th, 2016 suddenly at his home in Desert Cove, Vernon, BC. Stuart was born on April 28th, 1939 in Nelson, BC. Stuart was predeceased by his wife Anita, parents Frank and Thelma Minifie and brother Allen. He will be lovingly remembered by his children Shelan Hanna (Ken), Lori Anderson (Dan), Scott Minifie (Brianne), his grandchildren Ashlee and Breeann (Francis), Rylan, Trevor and Jenna (Pickett), his great-grandson Dayten (Tom), his brother Larry Minifie and sisters Rochelle Termehr (Peter), Heather Collett (John), Lynn Minifie (Guy Debeault) as well as long-time family friends Stan and Nita Beaulieu and numerous other family members and friends. Stu and Anita met in high school and were married September 16th, 1961 in Revelstoke, BC where they began their family. After living in various cities throughout BC, Stuarts career with the Provincial Government brought the family to Dawson Creek where they resided for 25 years. Fishing, canoeing, camping, ball, lacrosse, hockey and coaching were all his favorite things. Stu donated countless hours of his time volunteering to many different sports organizations around Dawson Creek, especially Dawson Creek Minor Hockey and Dawson Creek Senior Canucks. He was recently awarded a plaque on the Dawson Creek Memorial Arena Wall of Fame in the achievement corner as an outstanding “Builder�, after 14 years as an acting member on the DCMHA executive, and also as a minor hockey coach. He won the 1992 Earl Johnson memorial award from the DCAA for contributions to the furtherance of sports in Dawson Creek. In 2001/02 he won the Northern Peace Hockey League Championship, the Lawrence Cup and Campbell Cup. It was the first time in 26 years that Dawson Creek had won a senior men’s championship. He also helped organize and host the BCAHA Savage Cup Senior AAA playoff during his 10 years as President of the Dawson Creek Senior Canucks. He was also an avid fan and supporter of the Junior A Vernon Vipers and had just recently purchased his season ticket for next season. Stuart will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour and his involvement with his family and friends. He will be missed. There will be a Celebration of Life held for Stuart at 1:00pm on Sunday, March 20th, 2016 at the Desert Cove Community Hall in Vernon, BC with a reception to follow. Those wishing to do so may make donations in Stuart’s name to the Greater Vernon KidSport (3310 - 37 Avenue. Vernon, BC V1T 2Y5) or Dawson Creek KidSport (Box 150, Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4G4). Expressions of sympathy can be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca Cremation arrangements entrusted to: ALTERNATIVES FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES Ž Vernon 250-558-0866 & Armstrong 250-546-7237
