Accuser takes stand at Ashton trial ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Sex with his teacher began in Grade 7 and happened at his house, her house, her parents’ house, her truck, the school basement, the school supply room and even the classroom.

Such are the accusations of a now22-year-old Vernon man against his former teacher and vice-principal, Deborah Louise Ashton, between Sept. 1, 2002 and Jan. 30, 2004 when the accuser was a student of Ashton’s at a Vernon elementary school, and as he continued on to secondary school.

Ashton, 47, entered five not guilty pleas as her second trial of allegedly having a sexual relationship with a former student began Monday morning in Vernon Supreme Court.

She pleaded not guilty to three counts of sexual interference of a person under 14, invitation to sexual touching under 14 and sexual assault in her first trial in Vernon Supreme Court a year ago. That trial ended with a hung jury.

On Monday, Ashton pleaded not guilty to the same three counts plus two new counts of sexual exploita-

tion.

Her second trial is being held before a judge alone, that being Judge Alison Beames.

The accuser, who can’t be named because of a publication ban, took the stand Monday afternoon.

When questioned by Crown lawyer Neil Flanagan, the accuser said the start of “sexual things” began after the school basketball season in 2002.

“She said she had to tell me something, probably two or three times,” said the accuser, who said the first time Ashton allegedly touched him was at a movie outing with some other friends in Kelowna.

He said he wanted to ask her a question about the movie and tapped her on the shoulder. Ashton, he stated, said ‘don’t do that.’

“I did it again later on, she grabbed my hand and she held it,” said the man.

What she “had to tell him,” he said, was that “she was starting to have feelings for me and was falling for me,” telling him outside the school after class one day.

“She was crying, she said she knew it was wrong but she couldn’t

“She was crying, she said she knew it was wrong...”

— Accuser stop it,” said the accuser. “I was shocked, probably confused.”

The accuser told the court there were instances of oral sex in her truck, and sexual intercourse in his bedroom.

The court also heard from the accuser that Ashton regularly took him and three of his close friends out to movies, for food, to a threeon-three basketball tournament in Vancouver, resulting in a two-night hotel stay, and, on at least one occasion that the accuser can remember, go-karting in Kelowna.

The accuser was still on the stand Tuesday prior to The Morning Star’s deadline. He is expected to be cross-examined this morning by Ashton’s lawyer, Terry La Liberte of Vancouver.

The matter against Ashton came to light in June 2008 when three

administrators in the Vernon School District, including then-superintendent Bob Peacock, and the Ministry of Children and Family Services received an anonymous letter claiming an “incident” had taken place between a Grade 12 student and Ashton when the student was in Grade 7.

Flanagan, who presided over the first trial, opened matters Monday by calling Peacock to the stand.

Peacock said he met with Ashton about the letter, and Ashton denied any incident had taken place.

“I know for a fact she said ‘it was a very tough year,’” said Peacock.

Under cross-examination, La Liberte dismissed that “a very tough year” had anything to do with an inappropriate relationship with a student.

“That’s not sexual in nature,” La Liberte said to Peacock. “Her reply, ‘no, it was a very tough year,’ to clarify, was a reference to the staff at that school. She was having a tough year with the staff.”

Peacock said he went to the high school where the student was enrolled, pulled him out of class, told him about the letter and asked him if

any incident had taken place.

The student replied, said Peacock, “Yes, it was sexual in nature.”

Flanagan announced he planned to call many more witnesses in this trial, including the accuser’s three close friends, and Ashton’s ex-husband, Mike Jellema, who did not appear during the first trial. Jellema, said Flanagan, would corroborate the testimony of the four friends.

“I’m sure the evidence of Mike Jellema will be highly relevant,” said Flanagan during his opening statement. “He will describe events that occurred between 2003 and 2004 when the sexual relationship started.”

Flanagan hinted that the ending of Ashton’s marriage to Jellema played a role in the alleged relationship with the student.

Nonsense, said La Liberte.

“Most of the evidence is character assassination,” said La Liberte in his opening. “Nobody raised red flags until an anonymous letter comes years later. It’s character assassination, plain and simple, and not corroborative of the issue.”

The trial is scheduled to run until March 16.

Teachers take to the streets RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan students are still out of classes but not for long.

Teachers remain off the job today as part of a three-day strike that began Monday to protest the government’s proposed back-towork legislation.

“We expect to be back in schools Thursday,” said Bruce Cummings, Vernon Teachers Association president.

A Labour Relations Board ruling only permitted labour action over three days this week.

Parents are still encouraged to keep their children home from school during the strike, but some did show up Monday.

JOSÉ LAROCHELLE/MORNING STAR

Teacher Chris Torrie and hundreds of other teachers demonstrate Monday afternoon on 32nd Street in Vernon.

“There were some secondary kids working on their Dragon Den projects and in elementary schools, some parents and students came in for books,” said Bev Rundell, Vernon School District superintendent.

The LRB has stated the union can strike one day next week but notice to the employ-

R PAY FOR! T ’ N O D YEA 1 FULL

OU HELP Y L - WE L E S ON’T “ WE D

BUY”

er would have to be given by Thursday.

There is also the possibility that government legislation could be adopted in time to prevent a further walkout.

“If MLAs use all of their time, it could be Monday before it’s finished,” said MLA Eric Foster of the Legislature’s consideration of

the bill.

While the Liberals have a majority and could force an end to discussion, Foster says that is the wrong move unless the debate drags on.

News Coldstream crews scramble to curtail flooding JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Havoc flooded Coldstream and Lavington over the weekend.

Warm temperatures, causing substantial melting, forced water to flood area roads and even some homes Saturday and Sunday. “This will happen whenever we get hot weather but the ground is still frozen and the water can’t go into the ground,� said Mayor Jim Garlick, adding that the situation has since calmed down.

Water seeped into the basements of several homes in the Ravenscraig subdivision as runoff pooled along Aberdeen/Selkirk and Highway 6.

A two-to three-inch river of water also ran down Kalamalka Road in the town centre area, separating a few driveways from the roads and cut off some residents. “The culverts couldn’t take the water flows,� said Garlick, adding that the entrance into Coldstream Park was also washed away and there were some problems on Kidston Road at the newly constructed bike path.

In Lavington, substantial melting off ranch and agricultural lands also caused problems for area residents and motorists.

Water pooled alongside Highway 6 in several areas, caused some problems on Buchanan Road and

Gord McKay, with the District of Coldstream, directs a load of gravel across a Kalamalka Road driveway at Giles Drive Saturday. The berm was used to direct flood water that was rolling down Kalamalka Road. also effected some homes in the rural suburb.

Crews were out in full force over the weekend diverting water from properties and are now monitoring the situation as the mercury is expected to rise to

double digits again this week. “If this warm weather continues and Silver Star is melting that creek starts rising,� said Garlick of Coldstream Creek, which runs through the community.

Rather than waiting until disas-

ter strikes, homeowners are urged to do what they can to protect their homes. “The best thing is to be proactive,� said Garlick.

Free sand and sand bags are available at:

■Kalamalka Road – across from Postill Drive ■Lavington – School Road across from Jeffers Park Area flooding has occurred in the past in Coldstream, notably in 2010 with Antwerp Springs. “It’s typically not in these volumes but most of them (residents) have lived there long enough to have seen it once or twice,� said Mike Pethick, Coldstream’s operations superintendant, public works department.

In light of the recent flooding activity, Garlick says the district will be re-examining its storm management plan.

Depending on the area, various infrastructure will be looked at, ranging from proper curbs and gutters to catch basins and bigger culverts to ditches. “It’s something long-term,� said Garlick, adding that they will also have to look at ways to finance any potential upgrades, which will also better address water treatment. “I don’t think we’re going to be fixing it all tomorrow.�

Pethick, however, isn’t sure any amount of infrastructure could have handled the volumes of water experienced over the weekend. “Under normal circumstances (the current system) works, but this overwhelmed the system,� said Pethick.

Teachers protest class sizes, back-to-work legislation “Everyone should have a chance to speak to it,� he said.

As part of the strike, teachers are handing out information at select schools: Ellison, Coldstream, Vernon, Beairsto, Alexis Park, Charles Bloom, BX and W.L. Seaton.

Upwards of 600 teachers gathered along 32nd Street Monday to oppose the legislation. “We want to let people know we have concerns about how the government is addressing negotiations,� said teacher Barry Dorval. “Bill 22 is bad for teachers and bad for students. It takes off limits for the number of students in classes and it takes away the

responsibility of districts to have class size averages. They’ve removed limits on special needs learners without providing any real support.�

However, Foster says the teachers are not accurately portraying the government’s position. “Those things are on the table,� he said. “It says there will be nothing over 30 (students) in high school classes unless it’s agreed to by the teacher and they will be compensated for it.�

The VTA protested in front of Clarence Fulton Secondary Monday because it claims the district refused to let the union participate in a District Parents Advisory Council meeting at the school. “It’s hard to say the disrespect I felt,� said

The session looked at the government’s education plan and Cummings says teachers should have been at the table. “We want to provide information to parents.�

Rundell says it was up to DPAC to organize the meeting and decide who was there. “It wasn’t our meeting to invite or uninvite people,� she said, adding that she asked DPAC to postpone the session because emotions among everyone involved in the education system are high.

DPAC officials insist they were the ones who asked the teachers not to attend. “There are some parents who are teachers and some who are not uncomfortable

Lumby steers clear of ‘divisive’ debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lumby politicians are unwilling to throw salt on open wounds.

Council decided Monday not to lobby for provincial legislation changes so a candidate running for municipal council must live in the jurisdiction.

“It’s a divisive issue when the people of Lumby and Area D have a lot of healing to do,” said Coun. Nick Hodge referring to the recent dispute over a prison.

Coun. Lori Mindnich says residents are split on the election rules and that isn’t good for the community.

“It’s the wrong time. We want things to heal,” she said.

Presently, provincial legislation allows someone who lives outside of a jurisdiction to run for a council seat.

Some Lumby residents have suggested the rule should change because those who live outside the municipal boundaries don’t pay taxes directly

to the village and are not bound by bylaws.

However, some residents in the adjacent electoral area have stated that while they don’t live in Lumby proper, they are part of the broader community and what council does impacts them.

Janet Green, a former councillor, urged current council to lobby for changes but she accepts Monday’s decision.

“The timing was bad and I agree with that,” she said, adding that the controversy over her proposal was unfortunate.

“The goal wasn’t to stir things up but it was seen in a different light. It had nothing to do with the prison issue.”

B.C. is apparently the only Canadian province that allows nonresidents to run for council in municipalities and Green expects the issue will surface again.

“It’s something B.C. will eventually have to address,” she said.

Police face tense situation RICHARD ROLKE

Autobahn for All

Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP encountered what they are describing as a potentially dangerous situation.

On Saturday, officers responded to an abandoned 911 call in the 4200 block of Deroo Road and they approached a 31-year-old man in a home. “He had a knife and a (fireplace) poker,� said Gord Molendyk, detachment spokesperson. “It’s a case that could have turned out more seriously.�

The incident began when 911 operators received a call from the residence. A man allegedly explained that a child had accidently made the call but operators could hear a woman screaming in the background.

Once on scene, officers were faced with the man allegedly holding the kitchen knife and a poker and being aggressive. “I spoke to our dog handler and he was in close proximity and had his service revolver ready,� said Molendyk. “But as soon as the knife was dropped, the dog was released.�

The dog was able to contain the suspect and he was taken into custody. He was treated for a puncture wound from the dog.

A psychiatric assessment has been requested and once that process is completed, charges of uttering threats and possessing a weapon could be considered. “These are the confrontations we face more regularly,� said Molendyk of potential mental health issues.

The woman was not physically injured.

Another marijuana-grow op has been shut down in Vernon.

RCMP officers searched a residence in the 2400 block of Dallas Road Saturday and 40 mature marijuana plants were discovered. “The RCMP received several complaints on this residence in relation to a strong smell,� said Gord Molendyk, detachment spokesperson.

Also located were mushrooms and hashish.

A 38-year-old man and a 31-year-woman were arrested and possession charges could be laid. “There is the possibility they could also face possession for the purpose of trafficking,� said Molendyk.

Village rejects new inspection tax RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lumby is not interested in increasing taxes to cover the cost of building inspection services.

The Regional District of North Okanagan, which provides the building inspection service to jurisdictions outside of Vernon and Coldstream, is proposing to shift its revenue model from fees to taxation.

“It’s a one per cent

“It’s a one per cent tax increase.”

— Kevin Acton tax increase for Lumby with nothing else added,” said Mayor Kevin Acton, adding that his council voted Monday not to support such a move at RDNO. Regional district officials say a new fund-

ing structure is required because a downturn in construction has led to a decrease in building permit fees. However, Acton insists other approaches must be considered.

“We should be steer-

ing towards user-pay because that’s a fair system,” he said of developers paying for the services they receive through permit fees.

Acton also says RDNO may need to increase some fees, such as those for building non-compliance, and there may need to be changes within the building inspection department.

“Maybe it needs to go down to a one man show for now,” he said

of staffing.

“I know there are places where they can find efficiencies.”

RDNO board members will discuss the taxation proposal at their meeting today.

Have some faith

D

emocracy is thriving in the North Okanagan.

There wasn’t just one, but two examples last week of residents casting off the cynicism that frequently pervades our political structure.

In the first case was a meeting where 50 people opposed the prospect of Ashton Creek Elementary School shutting down.

They openly challenged the assumption that students would be better served by busing them — in some cases 45 kilometres oneway — to classes in Enderby.

The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District claims the current four-grade split classrooms restrict learning development among students, but parents insist that such personalized one-onRichard Rolke one instruction actually reinforces learning and encourages a caring atmosphere among older and younger kids.

Residents aren’t oblivious to funding restraints or decreasing enrolment, but they’re convinced their children’s needs supersede those factors.

But perhaps the most critical piece to come out of the meeting is residents learned they aren’t alone.

As the district’s vice-chairperson, Chris Coers is intimately aware of the need to rationalize resources. But she has acknowledged that the most important hat she wears is as Enderby area trustee.

“People will tell me what they want me to vote for,” she said.

“I’m elected to represent the residents of the Enderby area.”

Based on that, Coers will do everything possible to ensure her constituents are heard and that the district consider options other than simple closure.

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

Standing beside Coers will be Jackie Pearase, Regional District of North Okanagan director for Ashton Creek.

“I have to be behind my community,” said Pearase.

Coers and Pearase reinstill faith in the entire concept of public service.

The other example of democracy in action was hundreds of local students walking out of classes to rally.

No matter how you personally feel about the actions of teachers or the government, we should celebrate the fact that young people were passionate enough about something to take a stand. If we ever want them to vote, let alone run for public office, as adults, we need to encourage civic awareness now.

Obviously, students may not fully understand the dispute’s complexities, particularly financial, and one could argue they have been swayed by personal relationships they have with teachers. But, how many adults, including teachers and MLAs, can honestly say they comprehend the issues fully, and when did it become a bad thing to care about someone? Students often spend more time in school with teachers than they do at home, so a close bond is natural.

One could also make the argument that because they are there every day, students are extremely familiar with the state of the education system.

Media headlines in the last few days have focused on robocalls allegedly misleading voters, an MP sleeping on the job and private information being leaked about a federal cabinet minister.

It’s this kind of stuff that undermines trust in our democratic institutions and fuels apathy. But beyond those headlines, there are people who are active and standing up for what they believe in.

The public and politicians at all levels could learn a lot from Ashton Creek and the students in our schools.

The full-scale strike this week

by B.C. teachers was inevitable.

After essentially working to rule for months while the government dug in its heels on its “net zero” wage freeze mandate, tensions finally reached the boiling point.

That the labour dispute was allowed to reach this stage is a gamble by both sides.

The BC Teachers Federation says the strategy it had been employing since the beginning of the school year created little disruption on learning or the daily routines of schoolkids and their families while still allowing its 41,000 members to make their point. By escalating their job action to a province-wide walkout, teachers are hoping they’ll be able to drive home their stand that years of government cutbacks to education funding have strangled their ability to educate effectively.

The government, by introducing legislation that would impose its own mediator to settle the dispute once and for all and force the teachers back to their desks, is gambling the voting public is fed up with the teachers. Letting the teachers cool their heels outside for a few days, causing great disruption to students and their parents, may only feed that impression.

While most high-stakes gambits have a winner and loser, this one only has losers.

Students will lose three valuable days of learning. Parents will lose sleep, and likely a few bucks, organizing alternative care. Teachers will lose income and risk losing support. The government risks losing understanding for its hard-line stance.

It’s difficult to see how the wounds from this fractious dispute will ever be healed.

An opportunity to improve

G

reater public awareness can lead to increased public engagement. So it's very encouraging to read in The Morning Star the increased local coverage and commentary on education.

The typically unoccupied gallery chairs at the public school board meetings are being filled (even if mostly by teachers). And recently School District 22 held public engagement sessions on Secondary Schools Restructuring for Personalized Learning. All of this is positive.

Now's the time to seize the opportunity and begin the consultative work that's necessary to improve the completion rate (graduation rate), which for decades has remained stagnant in the range of 78 to 79 per cent in this district (slightly lower than the provincial average), despite the very wellintentioned past efforts of district managers and administrators.

From my point of view, as an elementary school literacy tutor BIKE LANES I keep reading and hearing about how we need to shrink 43rd Ave. to accommodate bike lanes.

In a recent paper there is an article from the Greater Vernon Cycling Advisory Committee speaking to council about the lack of east/west bike lanes. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the city put in bike lanes on 39th Ave running east/west from 32nd St. to 27th St. about six years or so ago?

This is a main artery but through a residential area. If the city were to add bike lanes to 29th Street running from 39th to 43rd they would connect with the ones already there on the newly redone part on the north side of 43rd. When I worked at the Village Green Mall and lived downtown 30 years ago that was the route I rode my bike on because of the lack of traffic. No bike lanes back then!

and parent volunteer for 15 years, it's a privilege and a delight to watch all the eager young students as they enter the education system filled with absolute joy for learning. Sadly, delight turns to disheartenment observing many of these students beginning to lose their enthusiasm, becoming disengaged and unmotivated learners as they move through the system.

Eventually some (20%) of them leave the system prior to completion. But this doesn't have to be the case. The reasons why students drop out are numerous. For decades Authority to be accountable for the Inferior Health Initiatives they continue to put forth?

Here we go again with overcrowding causing overtime, on top of overtime leading to burnout, which in turn causes shortages of registered nurses. Then, of course, over-budget overtime causes inability to hire more, etc., etc., which, of course, brings us back to closing beds where equipment has been funded by the community.

This causes more overcrowding due to mismanagement and they see nothing wrong with this? Is this what you would call good management for the people of this community?

We have an MLA in the Shuswap who still claims to indeterminate thought processes along with inexperience after having experience for years and even says this after being the minister of health for a time.

How many years does it take to become experienced with proper thought processes? Familiarity with humanity should be something we grow with, should it not?

parents/guardians have actively engaged in parent information/ education workshops to: inform themselves about education issues, connect with the system; and share their oral and written feedback on their perspectives on the education system.

They are concerned about graduation rates, student motivation, parent involvement, mental and physical health, dress codes, various forms of bullying, advocating for students, new technologies in the classroom, etc. Meanwhile, their support of education is constill reign. We require safe care now and that includes the acute care beds and the staffing as well as the proper space. Perhaps the Interior Health Authority is actually a detriment to the communities it serves. Inferior Health is not what we require.

Please have them get with the agenda or get out. This tremendous amount of money going to pay for the useless accountability of the initiatives and thought processes of the ones making these decisions is more than wasted. By removing the same, as well as their expenses, and the same with the inefficient MLA, perhaps the funding would be available for you to make the proper decisions as we require them. Finishing, furnishing, and then funding the top two acute care floors of the VJH Polson Tower for today and tomorrow is the proper solution.

Linda Myers CARBON TRADING In response to the letter from David R Derbovka regarding carbon trading; if fear of prosecution by an extra national body that places

tinually demonstrated by generous donations of time, energy, skills and financial resources to schools.

Community support is phenomenal as well; as undoubtedly both fundraising and "school community building" are vital for the success of schools and students. And although extra-curricular fundraising can detract valuable human resources away from the necessary analysis of education issues, education unifies communities around the central focus of helping kids learn and succeed. Clearly, what the completion rate data shows is that, even with school board elections every three years, and the very well-intentioned actions of many - the feedback loop to the decisionmakers is ineffective.

Recently the school district announced its three-year goal of achieving a 100% completion rate. In my humble opinion, we, the education community, need to work together to re-create and implement a permanent feedback nations such as Libya on human rights councils is the worst we can expect from not participating in this fabricated market, I think we’re OK. It’s also inaccurate that the United Nations prosecutes crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court handles those matters, and only at the request of interested parties.

Extra national governments have absolutely no jurisdiction in Canada unless the federal government gives them authority to exercise such jurisdiction. Those points aside, a much better way to deal with future energy needs and pollution is to invest in new technologies at home, rather than buying carbon credits on the open market and transferring wealth overseas. This much is obvious.

There are a lot of “early adopters” who stand to make an incredible amount of money if carbon trading takes off, as a result these people stand to benefit by moving the discussion in that direction. There are other more viable options that we as a nation should consider.

Mike Smith

mechanism that works; one that would help the district achieve that excellent goal. It needs to engage stakeholders (all education partner groups, parents/guardians, students, past students and the general public) in meaningful and effective information sharing. It must routinely and systematically conduct open public meetings, focus groups, and on-line communications to effect change in the system of education.

Why? Because education touches all of us, we all care, and all kids matter. An effective feedback loop will enable all students and teachers to improve and achieve learning outcomes. And because ultimately it's us who pays the public education bills - and eventually its us who will reap the benefits or live with the consequences. Education is an integral part of a community; and communities benefit from its citizens caring, supporting, and learning from one another.

TAKE NOTICE that in accordance with the Local Government Act the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (“Regional District”) will hold a PUBLIC HEARING regarding proposed Salmon Valley Land Use Amendment (DeJong) Bylaw No. 2549.

The Board of Directors of the Regional District has delegated the public hearing to Director Rene Talbot as Director of Electoral Area ‘D’, being that in which the land concerned is located, or Alternate Director Joy De Vos if Director Rene Talbot is absent. At the public hearing those persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw. The Board of the Regional District will not consider any verbal or written representations or submissions after the public hearing. Please be advised that written submissions received will be available to the public and the applicant.

Written submissions must be received in the Regional District’s of¿ce by 4:00 pm, March 12, 2012 or may be submitted at the public hearing.

LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Monday March 12 at 7:00 pm, and will be held at the Falkland Seniors’ Hall, 5706 Highway 97, in Falkland, BC. EXISTING USE: Rural Holdings

PROPOSED USE: Rural Residential

PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 2549: Bylaw No. 2549 proposes to amend Schedule C, Map, which forms part of the Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw No. 2500 by redesignating and rezoning the South West ¼ of Section 7 Township 18 Range 11 West of 6th Meridian, Kamloops Division Yale District, except Plans 31781, KAP80973 and KAP83184 from RH – Rural Holdings to RR – Rural Residential.

The proposal is to create 3 residential lots of approximately 1.21 – 1.62 ha (3 – 4 ac) in size and a remainder of approximately 14.17 ha (35 ac) with a single family dwelling on each.

The property is more particularly shown hatched on the sketch below.

It took nearly a half-hour of debate before Spallumcheen council decided not to support the Regional District of North Okanagan’s plan of taxation to fund its building inspection program.

Following a meeting with RDNO officials at a committee of the whole meeting, the committee recommended to Spall council that it support a taxation requisition of $100,000 for the building inspection shortfall in 2012, Van Tienhoven that it be funded by the building inspection reserve fund for 2012 and that the remaining shortfall be funded by a reduction in the building department costs.

That motion was defeated at the council table with only Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven in favour.

“They have enough in reserves and it’s the best way to manage that and get something done internally,” said Van Tienhoven. “We’ll take an even bigger hit later on if we put this off.”

The regional district provides building inspection service to jurisdictions outside of Vernon and Coldstream. They have been visiting the munici-

Local MLA clarifies pay status RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster wants to clarify how much he is paid.

Foster is concerned the media and the public have been led to believe that MLAs receive an annual raise based on the cost of living.

“I am looking at my pay stub from 2009 and from 2012 and they are exactly the same,” he said.

Salary information from the B.C. Teachers Federation was published in the March 2 Morning Star.

In 2006 or 2007, adjustments were made to MLAs’ compensation to reflect the cost of living.

However, Foster says those adjustments were ultimately put on hold because of the recession.

“If we hadn’t done that, we would deserve to be spread across the papers. If others aren’t getting a raise, we shouldn’t get a raise.”

Foster and other MLAs receive $102,000 a year for their efforts. There is additional money for cabinet ministers.

“We get compensated very well and I don’t expect to get a raise, especially in difficult times,” said Foster.

palities outside of Vernon and Coldstream suggesting taxation is a way to address a severe funding shortfall for the business inspection function.

Armstrong council, which did not support taxation, was told RDNO was approximately $390,000 short in the revenue column over expenses. Oneand-a-half employees were let go for a savings of $120,000.

Coun. Christine Fraser said RDNO has to restructure the building inspection department internally.

“You can’t have eight inspections for someone putting in a garage,” said Fraser, who told council the regional district has 5,000 open building permits on its books. “Eight visits for a $50,000 garage?

No wonder it’s cost prohibitive.”

Fraser made the same motion she made at the committee of the whole meeting – which was defeated – calling for the township not to support the use of taxation.

Her motion called for $200,000 of the regional district building inspection shortfall be funded from its reserve fund for 2012 only, and that the remaining shortfall be funded by a reduction in the building department costs.

Fraser’s motion was passed by a margin of 5-1 with Van Tienhoven opposed. Coun. Todd York was absent from the meeting.

Ataulfo mangoes, sometimes called honey mangoes are SO good.

They have a mouth-watering perfume and a delicious sweettart flavour. Their pits are very thin, which means you get more mango-bang for your buck. But almost the best thing about Ataulfo mangoes is their smooth, smooth, buttery flesh. Not a string or a mango-hair in sight. They are loaded with vitamin C and very high in fibre and can be enjoyed as a sweet treat or a flavourful addition to many cooked dishes!

Thefts prompt policing debate ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Growing up in what he calls “the bad part of Surrey,” Troy Sievert’s home was never broken into.

The Spallumcheen small business owner and hobby farm operator can’t say that about his new neighbourhood.

Twice, in two years, Sievert said his Spallumcheen property has been broken into and has had things like tools and computer equipment stolen, something that never happened to him in the Lower Mainland.

Which is why, at a public consultation on the township’s Christine Fraser budget plans for 2012 Monday night, Sievert called for more policing.

“You’re insane if you don’t think we need more police officers,” said Sievert, who owns Appellation Designs, to Spallumcheen council, and to the 13 others who showed up for the hour-long meeting.

“We live in such a huge area, and to say that we’re sufficient with three officers is insane.”

Coun. Christine Fraser opened the meeting by explaining residents could be facing, in a worst case scenario, a 12.42 per cent tax increase. That’s because Spallumcheen’s population now exceeds 5,000, meaning the township has to pay for policing.

Paying for police will be the biggest part of Spallumcheen’s budget as they are looking at an extra $280,000 Negotiations are ongoing between the township and the province as to how many police officers Spallumcheen should have. The province wants the township to pay for four officers and a clerk.

Spallumcheen wants three officers and a clerk.

Several people disagreed with Sievert’s contention, including former mayor Will Hansma.

“Our crime stats haven’t gone up and the population is lower now than in other years, so there’s no reason for our police strength to increase to four officers based on the stats,” said Hansma.

Resident Richard Denengelsen questioned why the township wasn’t prepared to have the money for paid policing already budgeted, knowing that the census figures would likely show the township’s population increasing to beyond 5,000 residents.

“People can’t afford a 12 per cent increase,” said Denengelsen.

Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh said the township has been budgeting a three per cent tax increase every year since 2008 when the provincial economy took its downturn to help build up its reserves.

“We only have $130,000 in the reserves and we’re using $60,000 this year,” said Freeman-Marsh, who added that the budget is only in its first draft, and that he would estimate a seven-to-eight per cent tax hike as a “best case scenario.”

While the policing issue dominated the meeting, other residents also offered up suggestions for cutting back on capital works and the battle of removing land from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Fraser was happy with the turnout.

“What we’re trying to do is whittle away and get down from a 12 per cent hike,” said Fraser. “If we are cutting, we want to hear from you, where do you want us to cut from? From roads? Parks and recreation?”

Home sales steady Morning Star Staff

There are some positive trends within the North Okanagan’s real estate sector.

In February, there were 88 overall sales, a 7.4 per cent decrease from 95 sales during the same month in 2011 but they were up 20.6 per cent from January’s 73 sales.

Sales volumes for the month rose to $31.7 million from $25.1 million in 2011.

“February home sales remained strong in the Okanagan-Shuswap and on par with the 10 to 15 year average for unit sales,” said Rob Shaw, Okanagan Mainline Real Rob Shaw Estate Board vice-president.

“The trend in modest rising sales over the past few months is in line with the gradual growth in the economy and indicates market improvement.

Total North Okanagan residential sales for February (74 units) were down 9.8 per cent compared to last year (82), but they up 15.6 per cent over January (64).

There were 42 single-family home sales in February, up 10.5 per cent compared to the 38 units sold in February 2011 and up 13.5 per cent compared to the 37 units in January.

For the record The Morning Star would like to apologize for an error in Sunday’s newspaper.

The article, Land dispute resurfaces, indicates a proposed five lot subdivision. The address should read 11200 Palfrey Drive East.

Young actress’ star continues to rise Vernon born and raised Lilah Fitzgerald gets the role of her young life, so far Morning Star Staff

A busy 2011 has proved to be a springboard for an even bigger 2012 for a young Vernon born and raised actress.

Lilah Fitzgerald, eight, has landed the highly coveted role of Cate Ward in the upcoming Legendary Pictures/Warner Brothers Entertainment feature The Seventh Son. The movie is an adaptation of The Last Apprentice, a series of novels written by Joseph Delaney.

The story follows the seventh son of a seventh son as he learns how to exorcise ghosts, contain witches, and bind boggarts in the 1700s.

The cast includes Oscar winner Jeff Bridges, as well as Ben Barnes, Alicia Vikander, and Oscar nominee Julianne Moore.

Partially filmed in Vancouver, shooting begins this month and runs through until May.

Lilah Fitzgerald, eight, is filmed on the set of The Pastor’s Wife, which aired on the Lifetime Network.

Fitzgerald will play the younger sister of Tom Ward (Barnes), the Spook’s apprentice. Barnes is no stranger to the adventure genre

having played Prince Caspian in a pair of Narnia movies.

“I keep thinking I should pinch myself,” said Fitzgerald, who is now

based in the Lower Mainland. “It’s really happening.

“It’s going to be so much fun. I can’t give away any of the details.

And I can’t wait to start shooting.”

Fitzgerald is also looking forward to seeing herself as the lead in the upcoming short film The Stolen, directed by Vancouver’s Karen Lam. Set for release later in March, the film is a dark fairytale about an imaginative little girl who saves a bullied boy, and is granted a secret wish.

Lam said Fitzgerald has a lovely presence on camera, and an even sweeter personality.

“She brought imagination, warmth and intelligence to the role, and gave us so many options for the edit,” said the director. “She has real talent, and I look forward to working with her on my next feature film project.”

Fitzgerald most recently appeared on the popular sci-fi show Supernatural, which aired in early February.

Her biggest role before landing The Seventh Son was a lead role in the Lifetime Network’s The Pastor’s Wife, starring Rose McGowan.

The movie was based on the real-life 2006 media sensation involving Mary Winkler’s shooting of her small-town preacher husband.

Local diva delights with Golden Era tunes DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society

Music alert – there’s a Soprano on the Loose!

Vernon singer Melina Moore performs her jazzy tribute to the Golden Era of Hollywood musicals at the Vernon Jazz Club this Saturday.

Moore’s homage to Hollywood’s Golden Era features the jazz and torch classics of the 1930s to the 1950s, with Moore channeling icons like Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Bring Crosby, Debbie Reynolds, and many more.

Moore captures the flair, passion, and glamour of Hollywood’s greatest musical era with classic tunes like Top Hat, Meet Me in St. Louis, Easter Parade, and Singin’ in the Rain, highlighting beloved composers like Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and Rodgers and Hammerstein.

This exciting and unique performance features tunes sung in their original style.

“I present classic songs in the original style in which they were written rather than how they’ve been interpreted over the years in a more pop style,” said Moore.

Although Moore is known for her classical repertoire, her roots lie in musical theatre.

“I grew up with the music of the composers I’ll be featuring in the show,” explained Moore. “I was raised on the Broadway stage, attending shows and being in children’s choruses from the age of eight. My child-

Soprano on the Loose is a return for Moore to the Vernon Jazz Club.

“My last Soprano on the Loose was performed in 2009, with Doug Sonju and myself on piano and vocals. We had a soldout crown and it was a tremendous evening,”

recalled Moore. “This music symbolizes one of the most romantic and glamorous eras of entertainment in history. It needs to be revived and remembered.”

Moore certainly knows about glamour.

Raised in New York City, she began her career singing at the Manhattan School of Music Preparatory Division, where she

was a member of the New York City Opera Children’s Chorus and the Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorale.

Her busy schedule includes performing, teaching, and producing shows nationally and internationally.

Moore is currently the headlining singer at Sparkling Hill Wellness Resort, performing her original Soprano on the Hill series once a month. She will also be a featured soloist at the second annual Mediterranean Festival of the Arts in September in Crete, Greece.

Accompanying Moore at the jazz club is Jim Leonard on piano, Doug Sonju on clarinet and sax, and Bernie Addington on bass.

A retired music teacher, Leonard moved to the Okanagan in 2009 where he keeps busy as a church organist, soloist, and accompanist.

Leonard accompanies Moore frequently.

A frequent performer at the VJC, Sonju is a teacher and principal player with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra.

Also no stranger to the VJC, Addington recently toured with the Rat Pack, a Las Vegas tribute to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. Meanwhile, Addington continues to be involved with the Jazz Café Band in Kelowna.

Sponsored by MJO Communications Inc., Soprano on the Loose takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 ($15 for jazz society members) available at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup coffee houses.

by Okanagan Symphony opened with Beethoven’s Overture for Goethe’s stage play Egmont.

Goethe’s script had specified musical accompaniment. Thus it was that, over 100 years later, Beethoven was asked to provide it for the play’s revival.

He created nine pieces for this including

the Overture.

The play was heavily influenced by Shakespearean tragedy, and depicts the downfall of a man trusting in the goodness of those around him.

When Holland is under Spanish occupation, the local resistance leader Egmont is imprisoned and condemned to death. As a result, his grief-stricken wife takes her own life, then she appears to him in a dream. Inspired by this vision, he faces his execution with dignity, his death as a martyr transformed into a victory against oppression.

After a stately opening section, we heard edgy themes, full of foreboding.

Underscoring by the brass gave a sense of urgency. Finally, after a

dramatic pause, there was a build up to a triumphant (typically Beethoven) conclusion.

The Overture was played at the memorial service commemorating the kidnapping and murders of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Jim Elderton Olympics.

Music director-conductor Rosemary Thomson introduced Antonín Dvorák Symphony No. 6 as a composition dedicated to Hans Richter, conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic. Richter had been impressed by Dvorák and asked him to write a symphony.

Although it should have been premiered in Vienna, Richter repeatedly postponed the performance. Eventually Dvorák learned that orchestra members objected to performing works by the relatively new Czech composer.

Instead, Adolf Cech conducted the premiere in Prague. Richter did eventually conduct the symphony, but never in Vienna, and the Vienna Philharmonic didn’t perform it till 60 years after its debut.

The four-movement piece was one of the first of Dvorák’s larger works to draw international attention. In it he

captured something of the Czech culture, thus developing his unique style – one that satisfies both the purists and the fans.

Opening with a beautiful and sweeping theme establishing its pastoral nature, here were rich, powerful textures –– unfamiliar music perhaps, yet recognizable as the composer’s style: rich in brass and woodwind, backed by strings.

The stately second movement again recalls the brilliance of Dvorák’s orchestrations: sometimes featuring the horns, sometimes the cellos, sometimes the woodwinds –– his music accessible to any audience.

The fun came in the third movement, Dvorák’s first symphonic version of a Bohemian folk-dance called a “furiant.” The excitement of this brilliant movement is created by cross-rhythms within the bar – likened

by Thomson to the complex 3-3-2-2-2 beat from West Side Story’s America chorus. (At Dvorák’s premiere, the audience had demanded an encore!)

The fourth, quiet at the start, rapidly built to a grand and energetic statement, with broad strokes in the brass, and magnificent chords provided a resounding finish.

The highlight of the

The

evening was Mozart’s Violin Concerto #5, played by internationally acclaimed Yi-Jia Susanne Hou. In the usual threemovement structure, this concerto is probably Mozart’s most unusual. It is named “The Turkish” because of the instrumentation in the final movement.

In a minor key section half-way through the movement, Mozart instructed that the cellos and basses should use the wood of the bow to strike their strings, also that the soloist should show virtuoso pyrotechnics.

(Hou rose to the occasion!)

This section was typical of Turkish military music, at that time popular in Austria.

Hou used a violin loaned by the Stradivari Society of Chicago – the Ex-Mary Portman, made in Cremona by Guiseppe Guarneri in 1735.

Originally owned

by Fritz Kreisler, this instrument is valued at $6 million, which, I believe, happened to be the cost of building our Performing Arts Centre!

Brought back for an encore, Hou played The Devil’s Laugh #13 of Paganini’s Twenty-four Caprices For Solo Violin –– the most challenging violin pieces ever written. (And yes, we could really hear the laugh!)

Students pay tribute to Guess Who Morning Star Staff

Fans of the Guess Who can get a little sugar Sunday night when students from Vernon’s Wentworth Music Education Centre pay tribute to one of Canada’s biggest rock acts of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Back after successful odes to The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac last year, the students will perform all The Guess Who’s biggest hits such as No Time, American Woman, and No Sugar Tonight, as well as songs from guitarist Randy Bachman’s other hit group, BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive.)

“The students do a great job performing these concerts,” said Noel Wentworth, vice president of education and media at Wentworth Music. “To see the excitement at rehearsals with all of them playing in a group environment is really something.”

Sponsored by Wentworth and Interior Savings, all proceeds from the event will go to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, and specifically towards children’s care.

“Along with their weekly lessons, these performances put on twice a year by the education centre keep the kids involved in a positive activity with a goal of putting on a real rock concert that will ultimately benefit the Vernon community,” said Wentworth. “It’s our

sincerest way of saying thank you.”

A Tribute to The Guess Who is Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre. Tickets are now on sale at Wentworth Music in Vernon, and cost $15/ adult, $8/student. More information is available at www.wmec.ca.

On a ‘Mission’ to improve dental health KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff

While a beautiful smile with sparkling, white teeth is desirable, good dental care goes beyond appearance.

But for those on a limited income, a visit to the dentist tends to be low on the list of priorities, falling well below the need for food and shelter.

Over the past year, the Upper Room Mission has been doing what it can to assist clients who need dental care. But between treatment and lab costs, it all adds up, so a fundraiser this Saturday will bring in muchneeded funds to continue helping those in need.

Taking place at Vernon Family Church, the event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature borscht and a bun served by donation, along with dessert, tea and coffee.

The event includes a silent auction, a plant sale and a bake sale, as well as a bottle drive.

Bev Henke is the mission’s street level supervisor. About a year ago, she met local dental assistant Susan Roth and the two discovered a common desire to help those in need.

“What started me getting involved was one of our guests came in with a pair of pliers in her hand and she had pulled her tooth, only she had pulled the wrong tooth,” said Henke. “I just couldn’t bear any more to see people suffer in this way. I knew this was part of our outreach, to help people in any way we could, so we do have a fund set up here for dental care.

“We believe that every person should be loved and respected. We just listen. People want someone to tell their story to.”

A bottle drive is ongoing throughout the year, with funds going towards dental care for the mission’s clients, but funds are always in short supply.

Meanwhile, Roth, who has 30 years of experience as a certified dental assistant, is now working with a local dentist who shares her beliefs that they are working for God, and not themselves when it comes to helping clients.

“We’re doing this work for the Lord, and he will provide,” she said. “So when I met Bev, I thought we might be able to help.

“People need to know that there is help, they are not alone. I’m so passionate about doing this, this has always been my vision.

It’s been the most awesome thing, but you

Roth had been set to go on a mission to Guatemala when things beyond her control put the trip on hold.

“On one level, I was upset, but I also believed that God always has a plan, and I met a dentist who has the same vision, I also met a denturist who has the same vision and a pediatric dentist and a periodontist,” she said.

While she and the dentist go off the clock to treat low-income patients, there are costs beyond their control, such as lab costs, but Roth doesn’t want there to be any barrier for those who need help.

“I believe that every human being is enti-

tled to dental work without judgement as to why they need the dental work,” said Roth.

“I believe that if they have disability coverage then that should be enough to cover all their costs because of a story that I don’t need to know about.

“I believe God sends people my way, however that happens. I don’t believe in a screening process, if the Lord brings them to me for a reason then that’s enough for me. I don’t work for a dentist, I work for the Lord.

Everyone has their story, even me.”

Roth wants people to understand that dental work goes far beyond a pretty smile.

When a tooth is infected and left untreated, the entire body suffers.

“Your teeth are so close to your brain

and people can die from this. People will get treated with antibiotics but they still don’t get cured.”

And while the office has many patients who are able to pay the going rate for dental care, no one is turned away. And treatment continues for as long as is necessary.

“It’s very intensive, with every client we see, you often have five appointments, sometimes 10, anybody who needs treatment should have it done; it’s our job to figure out how to get that work done,” said Roth. “I don’t believe in doing a spec exam, I believe every person who walks through the door deserves to be treated like a wealthy person, they get the full meal deal: X-rays and a full exam. I’ve always believed in that. We want to treat the whole person.

“I had no idea there was so much demand.”

And with the Community Dental Access Centre set to open later this year, both Roth and Henke couldn’t be more pleased.

“We’re working together and we want to serve the people who fall through the cracks, we want it to happen,” said Henke. “We are excited about the Dental Access Centre, we need that, but we are trying to fill the gap now and for times that the centre can’t fill — there will be no shortage of patients, there are so many in desperate need in the community.”

Henke said Saturday’s fundraiser is to raise money for those with no dental care, for those who have no access to dental care and people in the community who belong to the working poor.

Silent auction items are most welcome, as are cash donations, with tax receipts provided.

Vernon Family Church is at 3508-25th Ave., next to Lincoln Lanes. Roth said a special thanks goes to Pastor Dietmar Molzahn who is lending out the church at no charge for the fundraiser, which will be at the rear of the church, with tables set up inside for everyone to have a comfortable space in which to enjoy their borscht.

“And if there is anyone out there who is looking for a cause to support, we’d love to be that cause,” said Roth, who is also looking for donations of new or gently used stuffed animals, which she gives to patients for comfort, and which they can take with them.

For more details, please call Henke at 250549-1231 or e-mail Roth at d-roth@shaw.ca

March is the time to start from seed

arch already and time to start some of the plants from seeds. I will be starting my tomato and pepper seeds this week. I have four sets of fluorescent lights with a timer that goes from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. At first the seeds will need the warmth in order to germinate. As soon as the little guys poke their heads through the soil, they should go under the light and the temperature can be dropped a touch.

I put mine in the basement, which is cooler and makes for sturdier plants.

The problem that people have with their seedlings on a window sill is that the days are still short at this time and the temperature in their house is still warm.

Jocelyne Sewell With these two conditions, you end up with very leggy plants and because they are reaching for the sun, they should be turned on a regular basis. My plants are happy because day temperature runs at the most 19C and at

A GARDENER’S DIARY

night it is lowered to 15C by 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. With most of our windows facing south and west, I have lots of light in the house and at this time, all the window sills and the front of sliding doors are taken by plants. I have the most patient and understanding husband. He doesn’t complain about sharing his space with all the plants and seedlings.

I am also doing geranium cuttings. Always cut with a sharp and clean knife. I let them dry on the counter for a couple hours and dip them in rooting powder. I use commercial potting mix which is a mixture of perlite, vermiculite and peat moss. Garden soil should not be used for starting plants or even for transplants, as you might have insects and microorganisms that may cause disease. Indoor gardeners and greenhouse users may find it necessary to pasteurize their soil before potting plants. You can do this in your oven in a large roasting pan but it doesn’t smell as good as baking bread. I know, as I did both.

I was reading that in one year, you can collect up to 42,000 litres of rain water from a typical roof in Vernon. I wish the

city would subsidize rain barrels the way it did composters in the past. We have five large rain barrels, three garbage cans, and I have buckets and milk gallon jugs. At the moment, we are not using the barrels because the water freezing in them would cause them to crack. I was able to save enough in the last couple weeks and bring the jugs inside to water all the plants and even flush the toilets. In the shower I have a bucket that gets filled waiting for the hot water. We have a dishwasher which is not connected as I do the dishes in a large pot in the sink and use the water for outside. It takes more time and energy but it works. In 2006 we used 282cu m of water, going up almost every year as the garden was increasing. In 2009 we were down to 260cu m when we started with the rain barrels and last year with the extended garden, our total was 142cu m.

The seed exchange in Enderby was the best so far.

Attendance was about 825, not counting children and students. I talked to people visiting from Saskatchewan and Calgary but I don’t think they came just for that occasion. Lots of plants and of course tons of organic seeds and beautiful craft items.

Bringing a taste of Mexico home

I

arrived home from Ixtapa, Mexico yesterday after a wonderful week with my sister at a first-rate all-inclusive resort.

There is nothing better than an all-inclusive for giving a woman time to read, relax, swim, suntan, eat and drink and do whatever we like without having to lift a finger. The food was delicious and the drink plentiful and available all the time. What can I say, except we all deserve such pampering.

Today’s recipes reflect a couple of my favourite dishes while away. The first is an easy fish taco that El Paso mixes make easy and fast to prepare.

The second is a tasty skillet lemon fish dish with mushrooms. Give it a try.

Clinic opens doors to natural health Morning Star Staff

Dr. Nicole Shortt believes that true health is achieved through balance.

“This balance occurs through the right nutrition, proper exercise, adequate sleep, reduced stress maintaining a healthy physical body and a healthy emotional state,” said Shortt, a naturopathic physician in Vernon who works out of Balance Natural Health Clinic.

The public is invited to learn more on Friday, as the clinic hosts an open house where all of its practitioners will be in attendance: Shortt, naturopathic physician Dr. Krista Ingram, Registered Massage Therapists Lana Henry and Sarah Robson, and energy therapist Morene Philpott.

The open house is a chance for prac-

titioners to thank their clients for their ongoing commitment to their health and faith in the clinic’s services and an opportunity for the public to meet the practitioners in a fun and casual setting to explore all that naturopathic medicine, massage therapy and energy therapy have to offer.

“Balance occurs when the true cause of disease is explored and not just addressed with symptom control,” said Shortt. “Naturopathic medicine, massage therapy and energy therapy can each address a multitude of health concerns and address the root cause of disease naturally, effectively and without drug therapy.”

The open house takes place Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Balance Natural Health Clinic, 3105-36th Ave., Vernon.

some of the thoughts that arose from my repeated viewing of the short film that was the heart of the e-mail. I hope that hearing the story will make you think, too.

The story begins with a view of a man sitting on a sheet of cardboard at the foot of a set of steps on a street with a sign roughly printed on another sheet of cardboard propped up beside him.

The scene is set in a city centre with great rather old-fashioned buildings and the ground is wet. He is of uncertain years beyond middle age and bareheaded. The sign reads “I’m blind. Please help.”

The film continues with shots of young girls laughing among themselves, then returns to the man with many folks walking straight past and only a few passersby dropping a coin on his cardboard sheet. He thanks donors for their gifts and gropes blindly for the small offerings to put them into his collecting tin can but is clearly not getting much money. He sits alone, waiting.

A well-dressed young lady wearing sunglasses and carrying a small case, clearly a business woman, approaches him. She walks past apparently ignoring him, then returns to stand in front of him.

She picks up his sign, turns it over and writes something on the clean

surface without disclosing what she writes. He feels for her shoes to help him identify her.

She props up the new sign, says a brief goodbye and walks away.

The man sits wondering what she did, who she was and why she dropped no coins on his cardboard sheet. People continue to walk along the street but now they each stop and drop a coin on his mat before moving on. Soon he has a lot of coins there and gathers them up feverishly to put in his tin can. As he thanks them all he looks pleased but obviously wonders what has changed to make people start acting more generously towards him.

The young lady returns and stops in front of the man. He feels her shoes and recognizes her. Looking up at her he asks her what she did to his sign. She replies that she did not change the purpose of the message but only the wording on it. She smiles at him, drops a coin in his tin can, says goodbye and moves on.

The man thanks her and stares after her in her direction as she leaves.

The film ends with a close-up of the rewritten words on his sign.

It reads, “It’s a beautiful day and I can’t see it.” These final words appear on the screen, “Change your words.

Change your world.”

My rendering of this lovely little film — it

is only one and a half minutes long with just over 20 words spoken — cannot do it justice but it affected me strongly.

It shows what a small act and a small change of words can do for one person and for many of the people seeing it.

But the whole process must start with two abilities on the part of the person portrayed in the film by the business woman and that person must be YOU. The two abilities are (1) The ability to see something that can be done to make something better than it is, and (2) The ability to do something to make it better.

It may take many forms.

It can be a big or a little change. It may mean just taking the first step along what may be a long road to get to the end result. I could go on, but you get the idea.

To start with it takes no effort and after that whatever it is that you do will not seem like it needs any great effort.

And the rewards will be more than you might expect, not in money or goods but in good feelings and respect for YOU, including selfrespect.

This all may sound idealistic but give it a try. A kind word to somebody not expecting it is a good start. Say it soon.

Change your words, use them wisely, and you can change both your world and the worlds of others.

Armstrong’s newest park is one bylaw reading away from adoption.

Council unanimously gave three readings to official community plan and zoning amendment bylaws that will pave the way for property at 2855 Patterson Avenue to become Huculak Park.

The move came after one person attended a public hearing on the matter.

Fourth and final adoption of the bylaw will likely happen in March.

Consultant Christina Walkden, an Armstrong native who is in her second year of her masters degree program in landscape architecture at the University of Manitoba, has been working on design ideas for the park.

A public meeting in August suggested that the park be a quieter space, and include things like checkers, walking trails and space for small children under the age of five.

The park will be named for Bernie Huculak, who donated the land.

Armstrong administrator Patti Ferguson said work on the park would likely begin in April or May. Yard waste pick-up date set Spring pruning and yard waste pick-up will take place on Monday, April 23 in Armstrong.

Material must be out on the curbs for pickup before 7 a.m.

Prunings must be tied in bundles with string (no wire of any kind); their sizes must be manageable and are to be stacked parallel to the street, away from other objects.

The maximum diameter of pruning is four inches and the maximum length is six feet.

Prunings with thorns are to be bundled separately.

Yard waste such as leaves, needles, clippings and other materials that can’t be bundles may be bagged in a see-through plastic bag. Any other types of bags or boxes will not be picked up.

Maximum weight of each bag is 50 pounds, and the bags are to be placed at the curb, away from the bundles.

No loose material will be picked up and leaves are not to be raked on to the streets.

200 athletes from the Thompson-Okanagan (Zone 2) competed at the 2012 BC Winter Games bringing home 80 medals.

Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions.

Can stress cause or aggravate heart problems?

Yes, stress can contribute significantly to heart problems.

The stress response causes a variety of physical symptoms including: • Increased cholesterol levels • Raised blood pressure • Thickening of the blood • Increased heart rate/palpitations Our thoughts, beliefs, actions, behaviors and lifestyle all affect our stress levels, overall wellbeing and our hearts.

If concerned about your heart consult a health care professional then take action to reduce your stress. Stress Wisdom is a holistic approach to stress reduction, selfempowerment and wellbeing. Please check www.gillianpadgett.com, call or e-mail for further information.

Q: A:

Certified Personal Trainer

Choosing your foods wisely after workout helps you recover and take advantage of your workout.

To replace your muscles’ energy supply, it is recommended that you have a mixture of carbohydrates and protein within between 2045 minutes after exercise. Around 6–8 grams of protein (the amount in 2 slices of turkey) taken in combination with high-carbohydrate foods is the best way to maximize recovery. In addition, consume another small carb/protein meal within the second hour after your workout. The availability of amino acids from protein may help with muscle repair and optimize recovery after exercise. During Nutrition Month, take advantage of the knowledge from dieticians, nutritionists, and even Personal Trainers that also specialize in nutrition.

Q: A:

What are the main things you need to consider when creating a flyer?

A flyer is about getting information out to prospective customers effectively. They are generally used to promote items for a short period of time at a good price. Flyers are typically created by negotiating larger purchases at discounted prices and then selling those items at a lower margin with higher volume sales. Often flyers will be created around an advertising co-op program that is negotiated with manufacturers/distributers/suppliers & feature “lost leader” items to help increase foot traffic to retail or online outlets. Give us a shout if you’re interested in creating a flyer program & let us help you keep these main points in mind: • Target market: who are you trying to reach (this will also affect your distribution methods) • Content you wish to promote: urgency & your message • Cost of deploying it effectively: organizing co-op programs, print and distribution savings

What is the most affordable way of making a change to a room?

If you are looking at a room in your home and you want to add something to it, but don’t want to spend a lot of money, you need to look for accessories! If you are working with a neutral sofa and loveseat, you can bring some color in by adding toss cushions, a throw, an area rug & then look for accessories to match and maybe even an accent chair. Change up your art work, hang mirrors on the wall, even look for some fun and funky lamps! When looking for accessories, make sure to stop by and see us, as we have a big selection of accessories from wall art, lamps, toss cushions, vases, wine bottle holders, rugs, accent chairs & even fun things for a child’s bedroom. So keep it fresh and funky & shop for accessories!

Q: A:

I get eyestrain, headaches and blurred vision with 3D movies and TV - what’s the problem?

The use of 3D technology requires both eyes to function together and the symptoms you are experiencing are likely due to an underlying, undiagnosed vision problem.

Both eyes must have equal clarity and the muscles controlling the eyes need to be synchronized properly for 3D to be successful. 3D technology is not harmful to vision and warning labels on 3D video games for children are misleading. In fact, difficulties with 3D technology could help identify problems so that they can be treated early. Don’t miss out on the excitement!

Codependents are typically kind and giving, but often because of their focus on another person, lose their sense of themselves.

Ask yourself the following.

Do I: • Live with (now or in the past) someone with an alcohol or drug problem?

• Say yes when I mean no?

• Think if I try harder, do more, be more, the other person will change?

• Feel unfulfilled consistently in relationships?

• Feel like a “bad” person when I make a mistake?

• Feel confused about who I am or where I am going in life?

A professional counsellor can work with you to become more aware of non-helpful behaviours, and learn newer, healthier ways of coping. I’d like to offer hope, support, and education to others who are struggling with codependency.

The condensation on your windows in the cooler months of the year is because the moisture in the air inside the home is coming in contact with the cooler surface of the window glass & causing condensation on the glass. Try keeping your curtains or blinds open during the day & see if the condensation becomes less or goes away. If it does not go away or become less than there may be other issues to deal with that will reduce the amount of moisture in the air of the home.

The ‘black mold’ that is accumulating on the window sills is most likely not mold at all, but is dust & dirt that is floating in the air of the home & that is on the windows. When condensation appears on the windows the dirt sticks to the moisture & is washed down the window where it accumulates and looks like black mold. No cause for alarm, just wash it off & check to see if your furnace filter needs changing.

Q: A:

How big should I make my Island?

I advise my clients to settle on one design to start. Most diligent consumers do shop for the best deal and that is fine. Just make sure that each supplier does an applesfor-apples quote on the same design & all other components involved. During this process you will find different features & options from different suppliers & that is great as well. However, to keep things on a level plane for comparison purposes, make notes of these added features & have that supplier option them. Then once you have talked with two or three suppliers you can now make an informed decision based on a product-to-product comparison, confidence in your salesman & his industry knowledge, the company’s track record for completion, service & customer satisfaction. Now you can add these other options to your updated design & your new kitchen will be just as you desired. Kitchens are an industry that very much lives up to the adage, ‘You get what you pay for.’ Like automobiles & fine wine, cheap is not better.

Many companies use off shore knock-offs for hardware, less structure in the cabinets & inferior finishing processes to cut costs. This is where the consumer loses. It can be diffi cult for the average consumer to notice theses difference visually when the product is new, they will not stand the test of time that good quality does. My advice is to ask lots of questions & make notes of the answers. This is your kitchen that you will want to enjoy for many, many years. Take charge of your

Myths revolve around nutrition information Morning Star Staff

Nutrition information has never been more accessible than right now.

Millions of Canadians head to the internet when they have questions about nutrition, but not all the information they read is credible.

“March is Nutrition Month and it’s a time to bust common food and nutrition myths and reveal the facts,” said Cindy Bossio, an Interior Health Authority registered dietitian.

For example, there are many myths about salt and its effect on health.

One of the most common myths is that the best way to limit sodium intake is to stop using the salt shaker.

“Only 11 per cent of the salt we eat is added by the salt shaker; over 75 per cent comes from processed and restaurant foods,” said Bossio.

“You can reduce your sodium intake by reading and comparing food labels and by choosing fresh foods more often than processed ones.

When eating out, ask if nutrition information for the menu item is available.”

Another myth is many people believe that cooking meals at home takes too much time. This common reason given for relying on take-out or prepackaged meals is also a myth.

But registered dietitian Linda Boyd says planning meals in advance saves time in the kitchen.

“Plan to cook enough so that you have leftovers for the next day or cook on the weekend and freeze extra portions,” she said.

The desire to attain a healthy weight spawns many myths. Some people believe that following Canada’s Food Guide will cause weight gain.

Others believe that weight loss can only be achieved by eating foods labelled low fat or fat free.

“The average Canadian eats 22 per cent of their calories

from foods that don’t fit into the food guide,” said Rose Soneff, a registered dietitian .

“If people reduce

the amount of sugary beverages, snacks and desserts they typically eat, there is plenty of room for the healthy

foods recommended in Canada’s Food Guide.

It’s also important to recognize diets that lack variety may not pro-

vide all of the nutrients necessary for optimal health.”

Cotter overcomes slow Brier start Morning Star Staff

A little more than halfway and Vernon’s Jim Cotter has already equaled his win count from last year’s Tim Hortons Brier.

The Team B.C. skip, supported by third Kevin Folk, second Ty Griffith and lead Rick Sawtsky, had a four-game win streak snapped Tuesday afternoon in Saskatoon after an 8-6 loss to Newfoundland and Labrador’s Brad Gushue.

The Newfoundland rink, now 2-5, raced out to a 5-2 lead at the break after counting deuces in three and five, and extended the lead to four points after eight ends.

Cotter, now 4-3, replied with a single in the ninth end, but came up short with a

single steal in the 10th.

The Vernon-Kelowna rink opened round-robin play Saturday with a 9-5 loss to Alberta’s Kevin Koe (6-1), followed by a 5-3 loss to Nova Scotia’s Jamie Murphy (3-3) Sunday morning.

The B.C. champs then got on a roll, starting with a 6-5 extra-end win over Saskatchewan’s Scott Manners (2-4) Sunday afternoon.

Down 4-3 after seven ends, Cotter burgled singles in eight and nine before Manners forced an extra end with a single in 10.

Cotter calmly drew to the back four-foot for the win.

Facing Manitoba’s Rob Fowler (4-2) Monday afternoon, Cotter rallied from a 3-0

deficit to pull out a 9-5 victory.

Fowler had a chance at a four-ender in four, but was unable to nudge Cotter’s shot stone far enough with his final delivery, and instead gave up a single. The Manitoba skip was then light on his draw attempt in six, giving up a steal of three.

Cotter sealed the win with a triple in nine.

In the Monday afternoon draw, Cotter counted a deuce in 10 to leapfrog Quebec’s Robert Desjardins 5-4.

Trailing 3-2 at the break, Desjardins (1-5) played a patient game, blanking six and seven before recording back-to-back singles in eight and nine.

Cotter used another late push Tuesday morning to brush back Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs 7-3.

Leading 4-2 after seven ends, the Vernon skip gave up a single in eight, but forced handshakes with a triple in nine.

Northern Ontario dipped to 3-4.

The B.C. boys battle Ontario’s Glenn Howard (5-1) in today’s opening draw (6:30 a.m. PT) before going up against P.E.I.’s Mike Gaudet (1-5) at 4:30 p.m.

The round-robin concludes Thursday, with Cotter battling New Brunswick’s Terry Odishaw (2-4) at 11:30 a.m., and Yukon/ Northwest Territories’ Jamie Koe (5-1) at 4:30 p.m.

Storm eliminate Knights with Game 7 win in Kamloops Morning Star Staff

Too little, too late. That pretty much sums up the North Okanagan Knights’ first-round exit from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs for head coach Kris Mallette.

The Knights gave up a pair of first-period goals, and despite scrambling to come back in the third, fell 3-1 to the Kamloops Storm in a series-deciding Game 7 Saturday night at McArthur Island Arena.

“Same old story – we didn’t play for 40 minutes and turned it on in the third,” said Mallette. “Kamloops did a fantastic job of collapsing and blocking shots. It was very seldom that anything got through to the net, and they were paying the price to get things done.

“A good job by Kamloops, but by no means did we do ourselves any favours.”

Mallette credited the line of Diego Cuglietta, Jacky Lu and Darcy Rai for carrying the Storm offence.

Cuglietta, who earned first star and was a factor in each of Kamloops’ goals, opened the scoring on a sharp-angle shot with eight minutes to play in the first period. In the final minute of the frame, Cuglietta tricked netminder Dustin Nikkel and the rest of the Knights’ defence with a sneaky short-side back pass as he wheeled behind the net, finding Lu unmarked in front for a tap-in.

Josh Wickenheiser, crashing the net, recorded North Okanagan’s goal after some good work down low midway through the second period. Defenceman Lee Muir earned the assist.

However, Rai answered for Kamloops less than two minutes later to complete the scoring and demoralize the Knights.

“It (Wickenheiser goal) was a big boost, but to give up a goal two minutes later kind of lets the wind out of the sails,” said Mallette.

“They (Cuglietta line) carried their team for three periods. Their secondary scoring really stepped up for them.”

The Knights will lose Muir and centre Mateja Leko to graduation. Mallette was unsure how many will be returning for next season.

While proud of the Knights’ accomplishments, Mallette took a measured view of the franchise’s most successful season in its three-year history.

“Being in our third year in the league, and doubling our wins each and every year – from nine to 18 to 35 this year – it didn’t exceed my expectations. When I came in, I was very confident in what we had and what we could instill in them.

“I was happy with the overall year. Not the result we wanted, and had we been able to play consistent for the full series, we would have had a different outcome.

“I’m proud of the kids. They bought in, and it was a good experience for my first year as a head coach.”

In other KIJHL weekend playoff action, netminder Jack Surgenor backstopped the

upstart Sicamous Eagles with a 47-save shutout performance as they eliminated the host Revelstoke Grizzlies with a 4-0 win in Game 7 Sunday night at the Forum.

Kitimat’s Connor Buick paced the Eagles with two goals, singles coming from Jagger Bowles and Tarren Cavanaugh. Brad Crump supplied two assists.

Sicamous visited the Storm for Game 1 of the Okanagan Shuswap Conference semifinals Tuesday night at McArthur Island.

Game 2 goes tonight in Kamloops.

In the Okanagan Division, the Princeton Posse stopped the Penticton Lakers 5-2 in Game 7 Sunday. They will face the Kelowna Chiefs in the other conference semifinal.

The Chiefs usurped the division-champion Osoyoos Coyotes in six games.

In the Kootenay Conference, semifinal matchups have the Beaver Valley Nitehawks taking on the Castlegar Rebels, and the Kimberley Dynamiters going up against the Fernie Ghostriders.

Vipers on brink of extinct

Kapak rules short track Fresh off a stellar performance at the B.C. Winter Games, Vernon’s Connie Kapak continued her hot streak, claiming gold in the 12 Girls class at the B.C. Short Track Speed Skating Championships last weekend in Kamloops.

For Kapak, it was her seventh gold at the provincial level this season. She will represent B.C. at the Western Canadian Championships, March 23-25, in Winnipeg.

The 13-year-old pocketed four speed skating medals and set a provincial record in the 400-metre race at the B.C. Winter Games venue in Armstrong.

Patrick McGillis is used to being the last man standing.

Over the last three seasons, he has been to the Telus Cup Midget AAA Championships (he helped the Notre Dame Greyhounds hoist the cup in 2009), and back-to-back appearances in Royal Bank Cup finals. In short, the Calgary product has always made it to the big game.

Now, with the Vernon Vipers one point away from being excluded from the B.C. Hockey League playoffs, the Vernon Viper captain finds himself in unfamiliar territory.

“It’s definitely something new for me,” said McGillis, who has missed half of his 20-year-old season to injury.

“The last three years I’ve gone all the way to pretty much the last game. It’s a different situation, but I’m still playing every game as hard as I would, no matter what point of the season it is.”

A weekend split left the 28-26-1-2 Vipers trailing the 30-22-1-3 Chilliwack Chiefs for the fourth and final Interior Conference postseason berth. The teams met Tuesday night at Prospera Centre, and with three regular-season games remaining, all the Chiefs need is a tie, or a Vernon loss, to clinch.

Until that happens (and even if that happens), McGillis says the Vipers will keep battling.

“Mathematically, we’re not eliminated so it’s not over until it’s over,” he said. “We’re going to play for every point we can.”

After a disappointing 3-1 loss to the host Westside Warriors Saturday night, Vernon head coach Jason Williamson leaned on his veterans Sunday, and they responded in a 7-3 crushing of the Prince George Spruce Kings at Wesbild Centre.

The line of Colton Cyr (3+1), Ben Gamache (1+4) and McGillis (3A) combined for a dozen points, recording first, second and third star respectively.

“We didn’t wave the flag the night before, so we had a goal that every shift we stepped on

the ice we made an impact,” said McGillis. “It kind of set the tone for the rest of the team and it was just one of those games where everything was going right for us.”

Cyr clicked on a pair of passes by Ben Gamache from behind the net to peg Vernon to an early 2-0 lead. Gamache, with his eighth of the season, on the powerplay, and singles

by Aaron Hadley (16th goal) and Cyr, with his hat trick marker for his 16th of the season, made it 5-0 after just 20 minutes.

Jedd Soleway (13th) and Mike Zalewski, with his teamleading 36th goal, kept Vernon rolling in the second period.

Kamloops did not quit, and when the Lakers took a penalty with three minutes left in regulation, they pulled their goalie. The Mystix put up one last effort, but Head stood tall in making some key saves to preserve her second straight shutout.

The Laker coaching staff was extremely happy with the effort, and praised the defence of Tylee Cooper, Courtney Graves, AmyRae Fox, Makenna Southam, Tiera Joseph, Ailish Curran and Juli Gilowski for keeping shots to the outside and clearing the front of the net.

Lakers forwards Chelsea Marshall, Jordan Butler, Julia McCaig and Carly Southam were strong on the forecheck, and often hemmed the Mystix deep in their end. Penalty killers Emily Clarke and Cassidy Marshall stifled the Kamloops powerplay.

The Salmon Arm Silvertips, featuring 11 Vernon-area players, claimed the Okanagan Mainline Midget Female Tier 1 pennant by sweeping Kelowna in two straight games, including a 2-1 win Saturday in Kelowna.

Sarah Botter opened the scoring less than four minutes into the first period, assisted by Phoenix Lawrey (Vernon). Coldstream’s Summer Jespersen fired Salmon Arm’s other goal midway through the first frame, with Botter getting the assist.

Kelowna struck early in the period, but Salmon Arm keeper Kylie Assi (Vernon) stood tall the rest of the way.

Other Vernon products on the Silvertips include Lanny Houle, Lisa Campeau, Hayley Silcocks, Jenna Lazar, Ali Roine, Caitlyn Marshall, Jessie Murphy and Ashley Tinney.

Salmon Arm hosts provincials, March 19-23.

In other girls weekend action, the Vernon Seed Orchard Sharks outlasted South Delta 4-3 in overtime to claim bronze at a Kelowna Bantam tournament.

Erin Poland, Brittany Jackson, on a breakaway, and Nikala Debalinhard had the Laker goals in regulation. Cailee Bauml buried a one-timer for the OT winner after a great faceoff win by Molly Crandlemire.

The Sharks opened the tourney with a 1-0 loss to Kelowna.

Bailey Berndt was strong in the Vernon net, supported defensively by Taylor Cousins and Chelsea McCaig.

Hannah Scherck collected Vernon’s lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Langley.

Crandlemire and Erin Pollard handled the offence as the Sharks clipped South Delta 2-1.

Selena Bridge-Hanson played her best game of the season on defence before leaving with an injury in the third period.

James Sutherland gets some airtime at the Canada West Telemark Championships last weekend at Silver Star Mountain Resort.

Telemark shines on Star Morning Star Staff

Those trademark Telemark turns were on display last weekend as Silver Star Mountain Resort hosted the Canada West Championships.

The event, organized by the B.C. Telemark Ski Association and Telemark Ski Canada, brought racers of all experience levels together to compete in their respective categories.

Competition opened Saturday with the GS, where racers skied through gates and over a jump. On Sunday, it was the traditional sprint classic, with competitors racing through gates, over a jump, into another set of gates, and around a large berm before skate skiing to the finish.

“Competitor turnout was positive and those who competed seemed to have a great time and there is already talk of return,” said Shane Landreville, president of B.C. Telemark, and also a competitor in the event.

“This is a growth year for B.C. Telemark and the more awareness and

exposure, the stronger the sport will become. Silver Star Mountain Resort was extremely positive and a perfect host resort for this event.”

In the GS, division winners were: Junior women, Farli Boden, Idaho; Junior men, Lucas Viebahn Vernon; Senior women, Carol Salzman, Kelowna; Senior men, Olivier Petit, Vernon; Masters men, Tim Boden, Idaho.

Category winners in the sprint classic were: Junior women, Farli Boden; Junior men, Viebahn; Senior women, Salzman; Senior men, Landreville, Revelskoke; and Masters men, Tim Boden.

“All competitors came out and gave their best, some who have only been telemark skiing for months,” said Landreville. “This is a very inclusive sport and true to the camaraderie of telemark skiing.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Some kind of opportunity of considerable dimensions could develop for you. It has something to do with your finances and might be able to enhance your security.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If there are many players involved but they lack your managerial skills, assume a leadership role and take the reins whether or not you’re asked to do so. The others will appreciate it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you’re in need of some assistance concerning a confidential matter, go to someone close whom you respect, such as a good friend or a family member.

They’ll do the most to help.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) As conditions start to change for the better, fresh hope will instill itself in your heart. A beloved friend might be instrumental in bringing this about.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Due to the fact that Lady Luck wants to divert your attention onto something that would be beneficial, it isn’t likely that you’ll be able to dismiss commercial matters from your agenda.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t waste your time and energies on pursuits of little or no opportunity.

Go ahead and think in grandiose terms just don’t be afraid to put the things you conceive into action.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you have something of importance to do, you’ll find that you will work far

better if you don’t have anyone peering over your shoulders. Seek solitude, not a cheering section.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Dame Fortune is likely to look favorably on partnership arrangements, so don’t impatiently go off on your own simply because you are tired of waiting for others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Co-workers might lack your industriousness, so don’t allow them to distract you from gratifying your ambitions and fulfilling what you want to accomplish.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Just because they like you, certain people are apt to treat you in a far more generous fashion than they do others. Show your gratitude openly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) This might be an especially good time to devote both your mental and physical energies to a huge critical matter that you’ve been afraid to tackle. Desirable results are indicated.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE RACE GOES TO THE QUICKER It is well-known that notrump contracts are races.

The defense is trying to set up its long suit, while declarer is battling to establish the winners that he needs to get home. Suit contracts tend not to be such clear-cut contests.

But sometimes speed is important. In this example, West leads the diamond three against four spades.

Who should win and how?

North has 12 high-card points and four-card spade support, which would often be sufficient for a game-forcing response.

However, with 4-3-3-3 distribution and eight losers, North sensibly downgraded the value of his hand to a game-

invitational limit raise.

South, having more than a minimum opening, raised to game.

Declarer starts by counting his losers: none in spades, one in hearts, one or two in diamonds and two in clubs. Next, he should check his winners: six in spades, two in hearts, one or two in diamonds and one in clubs. South needs one diamond and one club or two diamonds.

There is a strong temptation to take the diamond finesse at trick one. Here, though, it loses, and if East shifts to the heart queen, declarer will go down. The defenders will take one heart, one diamond and two clubs before South can establish his 10th winner in clubs.

Instead, declarer should

win immediately with dummy’s diamond ace, draw trumps using honors from his hand, and play on clubs.

The defenders can take one diamond, but they lose the race. South sets up his club trick, on which he discards his heart four, before the defenders can cash a heart trick.

Lawrence Wilfred Durelle Born October 5, 1909 in Baie-Sainte-Anne, NB, Lawrence “Larry” Wilfred Durelle passed away February 24, 2012 in his home in Armstrong, BC. He is finally at rest after a whole life of hard work, 102 years of adventures, adversity and most importantly admiration from all that knew him. Larry acquired many talents and trades during his long life, he was an artist, master wood carver, violin marker and boat maker. Larry was a hard worker who spent many years working on the Saint Lawrence Seaway, Bennett Dam, Mica Dam, he was a soldier overseas in WWII, a faller in Prince George, BC, and spent many years working at the Service Station in Vernon, BC. Larry loved being outdoors, hunting and fishing with friends or searching for the perfect walking stick. He was driving, cooking, and building violins until his very last day. Larry will be remembered fondly by his many friends, and adopted family in Kelowna, for his laughter, love, and lessons to all: “to live life, play music, love our friends, and never give up”. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 9, 2012 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch # 35 (2526 Pleasant Valley Blvd, Armstrong BC) to celebrate Larry’s life. Reverend Edward Roworth officiating. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca.

It’s another sign that spring is on the way — yard waste curbside collection is back.

After its regular winter hiatus, all Lake Country residents who receive regular municipal curbside garbage collection will have their yard waste picked up second until the end of November.

Fill containers (with the green lid) with yard waste and wheel them out for pickup every other week (alternate weeks to your recycling pick up).To determine your yard waste collection week, refer to the Living Greener Calendar at regionaldistrict.com/ recycle or download the new mobile phone waste app at regionaldistrict.com/mywasteapp.
