Water park splashes to life RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Cooling off will become a lot more fun for Lumby youth. The community is moving ahead with a water spray park after the provincial government announced $348,258 for upgrades to Oval Park Tuesday. “It’s going to be amazing,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “If we want youth in our community, we need facilities for them.” Presently, children have access to the swimming pool but it’s not well designed to handle toddlers. Besides the spray park for children, outdoor fitness equipment will be installed in Oval Park. “It’s a great project because it covers both ends of the demographic scale — children and adults,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, adding that
“If we want youth in our community, we need facilities for them.” — Kevin Acton the exercise equipment will be popular with seniors. “These kinds of projects enhance the community.” Foster believes it is important for the provincial government to assist communities with recreational amenities because of the cost of infrastructure. “Some times you get behind when you’re also having to deal with water, roads and sewer,” he said. The total price tag for the spray
park and fitness equipment will be $435,322, with Lumby and Cherryville taxpayers contributing $57,064. There will also be $30,000 from the Teddy’s Angels and Martin’s Devils ball teams and support from the Lumby Lions. “We are thankful these opportunities are available given the economic times,” said Rick Fairbairn, White Valley Parks and Recreation chairperson. “All of this provides an opportunity for the community to come together with a beautiful area the community can be proud of.” While there had been a concern about the spray park sending the wrong message about water conservation, Acton says any water used will be recycled. “We have to be responsible with our water and good stewards of the resource,” he said.
The third-place finisher in the race for Vernon mayor outspent his competitors combined. Patrick Davies had expenses of $31,208 during the November election, while $19,689 was spent by Rob Sawatzky, who led the polls, and incumbent Wayne Lippert, who came second, had $10,900 in expenses. “My intention was to get a replacement for the mayor at the time and it happened. If it took $31,000, it was a good deal,” said Davies. “It would have been nice to win. But the success was we got people who had never voted before excited.” Davies put significant personal resources into his campaign, according to documents filed with the City of Vernon. He contributed $7,639 while there was $5,000 from Latitude Marine which he owns and $5,050 from Naked Media which operates out of his Patrick Davies house. Other donations included $4,000 from Walter Davies, $2,000 from Aldebaran Enterprises and $1,500 from Brad Chapman. The biggest expenses for Davies were advertising, signs and pamphlets. “As a businessperson out of nowhere and a young guy, we had to get out there and give everything we had,” said Davies. Of his $19,689 in expenses, Sawatzky directed most of it to getting the word out through signs and advertising. “It’s the sad reality that this is what you have to do,” said Sawatzky of the dollars required to launch a campaign. Sawatzky pumped $13,500 of his own money into his inaugural run for mayor. “Given that I didn’t have a high profile and business roots, I was OK with picking up the cost,” said Sawatzky. “I was looking at it as community service.” Sawatzky received $4,600 in donations worth more than $100 and $408 valued less than $99. His donors included $750 from Lakeside Developments and $500 each from Cecil Schmidt, Victor Cumming and Robert Ross. Sawatzky says he still doesn’t know who some of his supporters were and those issues were left to his business agent. “The more independence you can have the better,” he said of serving as mayor. Like the other mayoralty candidates, Lippert’s spending focused on creating public awareness. He had $10,850 in contributions over $100 and $50 under $99 in value. Among the donors were $3,000 from Wesbild Holdings, $1,000 from R.L. Walker Contracting and $500 each from Tavistock Properties, Okanagan Spirits and the Vernon Professional Firefighters Association. Documents indicate Lippert provided $100. Lippert could not be reached for comment. Of the 15 councillor candidates, Patrick Nicol, who topped the polls, spent $13,233 of his own money. Lily Kerr, who came in 13th, spent the least at $297, with $300 being donated by 1&2 Electric.

News Spring spending planted into local recreation RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon recreational amenities are being transformed by an infusion of cash. The provincial government unveiled $546,674 for projects at Kin and Paddlewheel parks, the Vernon Recreation Complex and the Lakers clubhouse Tuesday. “These kinds of dollars enable the community to jump ahead,� said Patrick Nicol, Regional District of North Okanagan chairperson. “This is real community building. This is a practical way of improving these areas.� Of the $546,674, $400,000 will go to upgrades of the washrooms at Kin and Paddlewheel parks, and specifically making the buildings wheelchair accessible. There will also be interior and exterior painting and carpentry and mechanical and electrical work. Another $74,274 will go towards the recreation complex — an expanded fitness centre, a playground and a new chair lift for the pool. The remaining $74,500 will assist the City of Vernon in converting the former Lakers Golf clubhouse into a community recreation centre. “Arts, culture and recreation add to the fabric of a community,� said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, of why provincial government grants are important. “Young families moving into a community want to make sure these facilities exist.�

Delivery car stolen ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A robbery of a Vernon pizza delivery driver ended in Salmon Arm with the arrest of two suspects. A 20-year-old Domino’s Pizza delivery man called Vernon RCMP Sunday at 10:30 p.m. to report two men robbed him and stole his 1990 grey Honda Civic delivery vehicle. “The victim told police he was delivering a pizza order called in to a location at 26th Street and 28th Avenue in Vernon,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “When he arrived, two men came out of the bushes. The victim got out of his vehicle to deliver the pizza.” Molendyk said when the driver told the two men the price of the pizza, one of the suspects told him he was
being robbed and threatened to “shank him” (stick him with a knife). “The keys were removed from the driver’s back pocket and the suspects left with the vehicle,” said Molendyk. “They also took the pizza.” The Honda was last seen by VernonNorth Okanagan officers northbound on Highway 97A as it was fleeing the area. It was located in Salmon Arm at 50th Avenue SW and Foothills Road. “Officers from the Salmon Arm detachment deployed a spike belt which was successful in stopping the vehicle,” said Molendyk. The two suspects tried to flee on foot. One was apprehended by police right away, the other was caught a short time later.
Skier remembered Morning Star Staff
Hearts are heavy at the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre as they remember the loss of an employee. Jessica Rose Eaman, 26, who was an active cross-ski school coach for many years, died Friday from serious injuries suffered in a single-vehicle accident on Highway 97 near Oyama Thursday. “Jessica gave back far more than she ever received from the few hours a week she spent Jessica Eaman in Sovereign Lake’s kids’ programs,” said Scott Lemon, Sovereign Lake general manager. “She would spend endless hours preparing and planning for the skiers, making sure their experience was comfortable and fun, and ended with a hug or a pat on the head to tell them how much she looked forward to seeing their smiles the next week.” Weather and road conditions are considered to be contributing factors in this crash. A celebration of Eaman’s life will be held April 1 at 3:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre.
Crash claims student Morning Star Staff
RCMP have identified the Kamloops woman who died in a two-vehicle accident between Falkland and Westwold March 15. Dina Luisa Salvatore, a 37-year-old single mother, was the lone occupant of a Chevy car heading towards Kamloops that collided with a Jeep heading towards Falkland. “Family members told the investigating officers that she was a student at Thompson Rivers University,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, of Salvatore. The accident remains under investigation. Police are asking anyone who may have seen the accident to contact them at 250-545-7171 and ask to speak to the traffic department.
The suspects – a 33-year-old Salmon Arm man with two outstanding warrants, and a 20-year-old man from Kamloops – were taken back to Vernon and placed in custody. They were slated to make an appearance in Vernon court Monday.

done their good work, resulting in a conviction. Anything such as cars, boats, planes or houses that criminals have used as part of their criminal activity can be seized, and the money from the seizure is used to fund the Civil Forfeiture department.” Any additional monies are then put into grants and this year, the provincial government has more than $5 million to give out. Foster announced that the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society will receive three grants totalling $35,600. The biggest grant is for $25,600 which will help establish a North Okanagan child advocacy centre to help child victims of physical and sexual abuse. “The concept behind the centre is to have a single entry location where kids or youth and their families can go so they don’t have to go from pillar to post seeking services or lining up appointments to have interviews taken,” said Debby Hamilton, executive director of the transition house society. “Perhaps it will reduce the number of interviews children have to be submitted to once they have been abused.” The grant is seed

violence cases, and for the VIP (Violence Is Preventable) program introduced in schools. The Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP will receive a grant for $8,900 to purchase surveillance equipment and training for two officers in connection with North Okanagan grow-ops. As far as detachment Supt. Reg Burgess is concerned, using proceeds from crime to support victims of crime and for crime reduction and enforcement is a very appropriate use of funds. “I’d like to go after
a bigger chunk,” smiled Burgess, who explained that the equipment will help fill a gap in local grow-op investigations linked to organized crime that have moved into rural locations. “The equipment and training will give up the capacity to do surveillance to gather evidence and bust those grows, which is very difficult to do. In a rural setting, everybody knows everybody in a smaller community, and to do surveillance in a small town is very difficult. If you’re a stranger, you’re a stranger.”
Scam seminar nears Morning Star Staff
Interest is high, but there remains room for Thursday’s Safe Communities Unit’s free seminar about not becoming a victim of a fraud or a scam. The unit will host the event at the Schubert Centre from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Topics will include telemarketing, door-to-door sales, the Nigerian letter scam, power saving scams, banking scams, the grandparent scam and funds for prize scams and more. Guest speakers will include Kevin Rothwell of the Better Business Bureau, Const. Kim Jones of the RCMP Southeast District’s economic crime section, and Const. Jonathen Klassen of the Vernon RCMP.

Lumby RCMP continue to investigate a couple of thefts from pick-ups parked in remote areas. Both thefts took place March 10, on Sugar Lake Road while the owners were snowmobiling. A wallet, binoculars and jacket were stolen from the first pickup, a wallet, iPod and laptop from the second. In the latter case, the truck was parked way up by the 28 kilometre mark on Sugar Lake Road. “This demonstrates that even if you’re parked in a remote area, you are at risk for crime,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce. “Ensure there are no valuables in your vehicle.”

ot money to burn? How about running for elected office? Financial documents for the 2011 civic election indicate the mayoralty and councillor candidates in Vernon spent a staggering $109,663 on their campaigns last November. Topping the list was Patrick Davies, who had total expenses of $31,208 — more than the other two mayoralty hopefuls combined and exceeding the median wage of $29,541 for Vernon men and $18,278 for women (2006 census). “As a businessperson out of nowhere and a young guy, we had to get out there and give everything we had,” Davies said of delving into politics for the first time. That meant doling out $11,942 for signs Richard Rolke and pamphlets and $10,241 for advertising (including The Morning Star). A significant effort was also placed on a website and social media. Davies admits the bills may deter some people from running for office. “For someone who wants to make a difference, if you don’t have the capital, you’re not going to win,” he said. And to fuel his efforts, Davies didn’t just rely on the kindness of others. He forked out $7,639 of his own cash and $10,000 came from two businesses he owns. Despite coming in third, he has no regrets. “To get the response I did from the people who voted was great,” he said. Rob Sawatzky knew it was going to cost a couple of nickels when he decided to hang up his stethoscope and run for mayor. “Given that I didn’t have a high profile and business roots, I was OK with picking up the cost,” said the now mayor. Of his $19,689 in expenses, he provided

$13,500, with the rest coming from supporters, mostly in the form of $500 or less (the largest contribution was $750). Sawatzky has a very real concern that some people with the enthusiasm and skills the city needs could be left on the sidelines because their bank accounts, or those of their associates, are lacking. “It could happen and that would be a shame,” he said. Based on the 30 per cent voter turnout in November, Sawatzky questions the entire campaign process. “It’s not a positive sign when you’re spending money and not getting voters out,” he said. Ultimately, running a campaign is a double-edged sword. You would hope voters will base their support on ideas but to get your message out, you need brochures and signs. “I was blown away by some of the expenses like advertising,” said Catherine Lord, who was successfully elected as a councillor. Lord, who spent $6,488, isn’t sure if budgets will block people from participating in the democratic process. “The money aspect has always been there and it just gets more expensive,” she said. It’s interesting to note that both Patrick Nicol and Mary-Jo O’Keefe are sitting on Vernon council but while he spent the most at $13,233, she forked out $1,948, the middle of the pack among the 15 candidates. It should also be noted that spending habits in no way indicate that one candidate is more qualified or passionate than another. They all put themselves forward for community service and that is the most important aspect to consider. But reality being reality, if you are considering running for council in 2014, you might want to start pinching your pennies now.
Despite the recent flurries, spring is in the air. Yesterday marked the first day of a new season, blooming with hope and rejuvenation. So it was fitting that VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster marked the occasion by planting some seeds of funding in the North Okanagan. Money for a spray park in Lumby, upgrades to washroom facilities at Kin and Paddlewheel parks, Vernon Recreation Complex improvements and funds to convert the Lakers clubhouse into a local rec centre are among the beneficiaries. Each of the projects will add to and enhance the region’s recreational amenities. Yes, it frees up municipal dollars for infrastructure needs, and may attract more young families to the area. But the investment could also have another potentially positive impact for the area. Improved facilities could motivate more citizens to get fit and have fun, making them healthier. That, in effect, is a pro-active approach to reducing health care costs. And as we know all too well, Vernon Jubilee Hospital is constantly overflowing with more patients than it can handle. While Foster would’ve likely preferred to have been announcing funding to complete the two shelled-in floors in the Polson Tower at VJH, that news is still being waited on. A positive announcement is anticipated April 2 or 3 when the health minister comes to town. It’s unknown whether the news will be funding for both floors or just one. Although the budgets are from different ministries, it’s hoped that this week’s inflow of grants to this area doesn’t take away from the strong case for the funding of the top two floors in the Polson Tower. All we can do is wait and see.

Changing the culture of care
T
he Alzheimer Society of B.C. is encouraged by both the recent ombudsperson’s report, “The Best of Care: Getting it Right for Seniors” and the Ministry of Health’s Action Plan, “Improving Care for B.C. Seniors.” Although we recognize the challenges, the Alzheimer Society urges transformational change of the health-care system to ensure person-centered care and services for families facing dementia. As noted in the ombudsperson’s report, there are significant gaps in the care for people with dementia and their families that must be addressed. Her report references the Dementia Service Framework, 2007, an excellent blueprint for further action. Implementing the ombudsperson’s report would go a long way to achieving the goal of humanizing care in residential care facilities. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is actively engaged in efforts to improve the quality of life for people with dementia who live in GOVERNMENT IN CANADA Decade after decade we elect federal, provincial and municipal governments and hope that they will do the right thing for the people. Decade after decade we are disappointed to see the people of Canada get run over by the political machine. The current fiscal crisis is the result of this type of system preventing rational decision making. Political decisions are the reason we are in such a mess. Our medical system is collapsing as we speak, pensioners will get better treatment in jail than in their homes. And billions of dollars are squandered by politicians trying to make brownie points. It is time to revamp our entire system of government so that it is based on providing the necessities of life, such as medical care, seniors care, education and so on and so on. There should be core values that all levels of government must provide by law that cannot be changed by politicians.
care facilities and who now make up the largest group of residents. Our public position “Changing the Culture of Care” is available on our website: alzheimerbc.org. We look forward to the minister’s review of existing best practices for seniors' care and the redesign of the system. Connecting people newly diagnosed with dementia to the education, information and support programs is one example of how redesign can strengthen the health-care system. The Action Plan referenced our innovative First Link program which is funded by the Ministry of Health and partners with physicians and All other expenditures can be funded only if there is anything left over in the kitty. All taxes and fees must have an indisputably valid reason for enactment or increase. Deficit financing must be outlawed and all government debt must be retired asap. Government borrowing must be done by referendum at a scheduled election time. I am confident that Canadians could come up with a system that works contrary to what politicians will tell you. I am not trying to say that all politicians are not working for the best interests of Canadians, but they are trapped in a system that no longer works.

other health-care providers, making it easy for them to connect their patients impacted by dementia to the Society. Frail elders with physical challenges living alone can often be safely supported at home very late into their illness because they are able to collaborate and cooperate with community support staff. People with dementia most often must move into residential care when they experience challenges with behavioural and psychological symptoms. The challenges of care eventually outstrip the capacity of family caregivers to be able to support them in their own homes and of knowledge to share on organic farming and living in harmony with nature. I refer to both of his books on a regular basis and have shared them with many friends and fellow farmers/homesteaders. I feel it is crucial that we, first and foremost, support those that help and support our communities. Anyone interested in beekeeping, growing vegetables, raising animals, as well as surviving off their land, would find his books most informative and valuable. Please look local first, as our neighbours here in the Okanagan region are well worth supporting. thanks for taking time to reconsider. Jacqueline Kral SAFETY CONCERN Dear Honourable George Abbott MLA; I was pleased to read about the $3 million grant for the North Okanagan and particular the resurfacing project of Highway 97A from Armstrong to Vernon. You
inadequate community support no longer ensures their safety. Once in the care facility, the behavioural symptoms of the person with dementia confound staff who are under-prepared for effectively managing the care required. Behavioural symptoms are now understood increasingly to be expressions of unmet needs. Most of the time, the unmet needs can be identified and, if care is planned accordingly, can be supported with non-pharmacological care and minimal psychotropic medication use. People with dementia living in care facilities need in this situation: To have their needs recognized and managed appropriately. To be known first as a person with a rich and complex story that is understood and valued. To be recognized as a member of a family and that the family members also have important needs for education and support. To have an accurate diagnosis, correctly stated in your news release that “This upgrade will extend its lifespan, and make driving the route safer and more comfortable.” May I suggest that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure revisit the lack of merge lanes through the new construction on Highway 97A in Armstrong that was completed in 2011. Recently I witnessed a vehicle have a near mishap with a semi tank truck. If it were not for the swift reaction of the semi driver another statistic would be in the paper. This was but a brief glimpse of the unsafe highway condition that was created because of no merge lanes. I believe that the lack of merge lanes was a minor cost saving measure the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure took, and I encourage you and your fellow MLA Blair Lekstrom, to seriously re-look at this very unsafe situation of no merge lanes and start the process to construct the much needed lanes.

where the journey is acknowledged, respected, and communicated with family. To have disability minimized through symptom management, support to enhance mobility, and the appropriate use and review of medications. To have direct care providers who are educated and supported in personhood and are committed to enhancing dementia care through their attitudes, knowledge and skills. Most effective is consistency of care, rather than staff moving between units. To live in a physical environment that is homey, supports mobility, and enhances the person’s capability. To live in a facility with a culture and philosophy of care that balances care for the human spirit and the human body and is dedicated to building a community both inside and outside the facility.

Vernon School District had a two-week spring break was in 2004/05. The district reverted back to the one-week break the following year, but returned to the twoweek break in 2009/10. Students throughout the district are probably rejoicing as their annual break continues but next year’s spring break is still up for discussion.

Due to the job action, teachers were not represented on the committee this year, which met Feb. 14 and March 6 to review the calendar and legislation. Committee members were asked to discuss various calendar options with their groups and report back their findings at the second meeting. “It was a chance to get some feedback and look at possible options,” said Rogers. “And at this point, it’s over to the board to decide where we go from here.” DPAC representatives said most parents supported the two-week option, although some had daycare concerns. “Teachers supported a two-week break and, as you might expect, the kids thought a twoweek break was nice,” said Rogers. “A d m i n i s t r a t o r s strongly support the two-week break and suggested adding a one-day school closure to the first sememster

to maintain the current budget savings and school bell schedules.” During last year’s two-week break, instructional time was made up by adding eight minutes a day to the schedule for elementary schools and 10 minutes a day for secondary schools. But not all groups are happy with the longer break, especially members of CUPE, whose school support staff lost one week of pay during the second week. “They felt it was a direct hit to their members,” said Rogers, adding that those affected include bus drivers, Certified Education Assistants and clerical staff. “If the board was considering a two-week spring break, CUPE preferred March 25 to 28 as the second week to reduce the wage losses for their members. They would also like temporary work offered to members who would like to work during a two-week spring break.” The calendar options will be posted on the district website for public feedback. Trustee Kelly Smith suggested that the public be given two options to consider. “I have two concerns with the twoweek spring break: I think there is just one employee group that takes a direct monetary hit and that is CUPE, so I think having both options allows people to respond to that or not,” she said. “Also, extend-

Band blends bilingual songs in many genres Get a taste of effervescent jazz when Mimosa plays the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday DVOIRA YANOVSKY Vernon Jazz Society
Charming and cosmopolitan, critically acclaimed Mimosa brings its stylish sound to the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. The quintet’s unique sound draws on jazz, Brazilian sambas, French ‘60s pop, and cabaret music. If Cleo Laine, Jobim, and Serge Gainsbourg all got together one night and jammed, they might sound like what Mimosa has to offer – gorgeous melodies, quirky lyrics, incredible grooves, and sky-high improvisations. Mimosa’s members are Anna Lumiere, bass and keyboards, Rebecca Shoichet, vocals, Karen Graves, sax and flute, Adam Thomas, bass and vocals, and Bernie Arai on drums. Band leader Lumiere writes most of the songs, including lyrics in French, Spanish, and English. Title tune Mélimélo from their recent CD highlights Mimosa’s original approach. “Our band performs in French and English, and this tune combines them both,” said Lumiere. “It’s a tickle trunk where anything goes – a mix of klezmer, Eastern European gypsy music, and jazz, with a Parisian flavour.” Déclic, another composition from the album, is a fast swing number about someone from the East discovering the West Coast and falling in love with it. “It talks about the Grouse Grind, yoga, sushi, cappuccinos, frappucinos, multiculturalism, the works. It’s a fun, upbeat song,” said Lumiere. Mimosa’s sound came together 13 years ago when Lumiere and original vocalist Lily Frost formed the band. Both loved the Brazilian material. “I played some with Brazilian musician Celso Machado and Aché Brazil. We also both loved the French repertoire –– Gainsbourg, Jeanne Moreau, Diane Tell, etc.,” explained Lumiere. “Combining the freedom of well-crafted melodies and groovy rhythms seemed like the thing to do.” With performances including the Vancouver and Montreal Jazz Festivals, Mimosa has become “CBC darlings,” selected as the subject of a one hour documentary and most recently as one of four bands featured on Radio-Canada’s Mai de la chanson d’ici, a program featuring francophone musicians of Western Canada.

Mimosa’s Anna Lumiere, left, Rebecca Shoichet, Bernie Arai, and Karen Graves perform at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Lumiere also plays in Anagram, a modern jazz band, and a couple of Latin-flavoured ensembles. Anagram hopes to collaborate with Sokoun Trio from Montreal, culminating in a CBC recording and live broadcast. Vocalist Shoichet’s rich, full voice and beaming stage presence are a pleasure to watch and hear.

The birth of psychoanalysis Vernon Film Society
SONY PICTURES CLASSICS
Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung take a stroll around Vienna in A Dangerous Method.
The Vernon Film Society’s week-long 18th annual International Film Festival, which has just concluded, was a great success as appreciative audiences enjoyed one of our best selections of films ever. Thanks go to the staff members and manager at the Towne Theatre for their enthusiastic cooperation. Our next film offering on March 26 will be A Dangerous Method, a film that tackles a period in time when explanations about the human psyche were questioned in drastically new ways. Theories of such importance are still discussed, debated, celebrated, and refuted to this day. Set in Vienna on the eve of the First World War, the film explores the complex relationship between novice psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender, Jane Eyre, Inglorious Basterds) and his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen, The Road, Eastern Promises). Studying under the already well-estab-
lished Freud, Jung practices his teacher’s methods while developing his own theories based on the clinical study of psychologically disturbed patients. When a sick young Russian woman arrives at the clinic, both Jung and Freud are fascinated by her case and spellbound by her vulnerable yet dangerous sexuality. While treating the beautiful and profoundly disturbed Sabina (Keira Knightly, Never Let Me Go), Jung begins to question the restrictions of Freud’s methods and develops his own approach to human behaviour and treatment. Sharp-witted dialogue and a pristine turn-of-the-century Vienna add a refined tone to a film that explores the anything-but-civilized depths of human desire. A Dangerous Method will be shown at the Towne Theatre Monday at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available at the door and one week ahead at the theatre and the Bean Scene for $7. Rated R for sexual content and language.

Doug Alcock pulls a rod from the fire stoked forge as the sound of metal-upon-metal drifts over grassland and forest. It’s as if time has stood still as the blacksmith artist plies his trade, pounding and twisting the molten metal into wondrous shapes. His latest inspiration comes from the garden that grows alongside his studio/home deep in the Commonage beside Predator Ridge. Alcock’s new body of work began with thoughts of food security, said Julie Oakes, who is hosting the new joint exhibition, Hammer and Spoon, at Vernon’s Headbones Gallery. The exhibition not only features Alcock’s metal work but an installation by Torontobased print artist Ortansa Moraru. The show is now open for viewing until April 21. Using a bobcat to shape the pieces, Alcock has created two eightfoot sculptures, entitled Femform and Foldform, made from recycled steel to illustrate his conscientious concern for the use of resources. “Alcock has invested time into developing an organic garden and during this pursuit the controversy around seed saving arose,” said Oakes. “Seemingly made of a leather-like malleable substance, Femform

gracefully cups cut steel floral shapes, while Foldform is a massive crumpled shape enveloping itself.” Alcock has also extended his work to the use of light. He has designed several iron sconces and lamps and has incorporated glass
in collaborative pieces made in the studio of Okanagan glass artist David Montpetit. Alcock’s rigour of steel will compliment the ethereal lightness of Japanese paper at the Headbones show. With her roots in Romania, Moraru is
currently completing a doctorate from Western University of Timisoara, Romania, and brings the charm and courage of her birthplace to her imagery, said Oakes. Her latest large-scale installation piece, Down on the Danube, is approximately six-by-18 feet, and was accomplished by rubbing a spoon to press the image into the Japanese paper. “She uses silvers, coppers and lusters in her inks so that the surface shimmers,” said Oakes. While in Vernon, Moraru will also hold a dry point printmaking workshop at the Vernon Community Arts Centre, Thursday. The first session will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with the second session from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Contact the VCAC at 250-542-6243

for details. Coinciding with the 2012 Okanagan Print Triennial, which is taking place this month and next at the Kelowna Art Gallery, Headbones is also showing some silk screen works by OPT co-founder and UBC Okanagan creative studies professor Briar Craig. Craig’s Through the Screen, to be shown in The Drawers Gallery, is a series of silk screen prints, vivid in hue and rich in innuendo, said Oakes. “Finding images from old National Geographic magazines, memos, notes, street flotsam and media detritus, Craig layers the colouring so that the end result is as subtly exquisite as a medieval tapestry,” said Oakes. “With a knack for discovering new meanings and associations to words and phrases, Craig’s work provides opportunity for mind games that challenge preconceived concepts and perceptions.” All three artists will be in attendance for the opening reception of Hammer and Spoon and Through the Screen on Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. Headbones is located at 6700 Old Kamloops Rd. (limited parking.) Contact the gallery at 250-542-8987 for more information.

The journey of grief is part of the journey of life. “Each grief journey has its own timing and pace and the process is different for each person,” said Andrea Hoye, president of the Sunrise Grief Retreat Society. The Sunrise Grief Retreat Society continues the work of the Mara Station Retreat Society with the focus on grief retreats. “We know that there are people who have never been able to deal fully with their grief and need to move on to the next step in the process. Sometimes a recent loss brings up other losses that have not been dealt with,” said Barb Schimpl, vice-president of the Sunrise Grief Retreat Society. “Grief changes a person but they can come to accept it.” Schimpl, retired RN, with a background in mental health and private practice counseling, and Hoye, RN, who has home care nursing and palliative care experience, were both active in the formation of the Hospice Society in the 1980s. They want to continue to use their knowledge and experience to help the community. “We know that if people don’t do the grief work, either with the support of family and friends, or through individual counseling and groups, it can sit there and turn into physical or emotional illness. We have to feel those feelings in order to heal. It’s rewarding to see people feel more peaceful and move through their journey at the retreats,” said Hoye. The grief retreats provide a safe place to share, think, and try alternate healing modalities. The day starts with qi gong or guided meditation and includes group sessions, quiet individual time and private sessions for massage, healing touch and counseling. “Telling your story is a huge piece of healing. The retreats are a place to be heard and not be judged,” said Schimpl. “People

A recent survey of Canadians living with or affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), carried out by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC), found that a majority of youth feel that they could have achieved more at school if they did not have the disease. Nearly 70 per cent of respondents were delayed in completing their post-secondary education due to their illness. A majority of IBD patients endure many challenges when it comes to their education. With intensive medical treatments, debilitating symptoms and lengthy hospital stays, keeping up with school can become extremely difficult. IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) causes intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores and bleed easily. Patients suffer from symptoms including abdominal pain, cramping, fatigue and diarrhea that are often urgent and unexpected.

“We have to feel those feelings in order to heal.” — Andrea Hoye A former participant wrote, “I highly recommend this grief retreat. The facilitators attended to our mental, physical and emotional needs through a balance of information, sharing, opportunities for artistic expression, body work and great food. I was able to understand where I’d been stuck and come to a more hopeful place in my grief journey.”
Hoye and Schimpl reconnected through The Morning Star. An article on a previous retreat was in the same edition of the paper as a letter to the editor from Schimpl about the importance of funerals as a chance to honour a loved one. “I looked at the letter and thought, ‘Oh, Barb. She’d be a great board member,’” said Hoye. Schimpl said, “I saw the article and called Andrea to volunteer.” The Sunrise Grief Retreat Society spring retreat takes place April 27 to May 1 at the Deep Creek Retreat House in a quiet rural setting. The society is non-profit and the retreat facilitators are volunteers but there is a charge of $550 per person which covers everything, including meals and accommodation. There is some financial assistance possible for people who cannot pay the total cost.

During an active flare-up of the disease, 86 per cent of sufferers have more than five bowel movements or “false urges” a day, and 14 per cent of those have more than 20 per day; during an active flare-up of the disease, 44 per cent of sufferers described their pain as agonizing and debilitating or steady pain that lasts for hours; 66 per cent experienced depression and anxiety during an active flare of their disease. (The CCFC Impacts of IBD survey was carried out online amongst a nationally representative sample of more than 500 Canadians.) To support Canadian students living with IBD, empower them and to raise awareness about this chronic disease, CCFC and Abbott Canada are launching the new Abbott IBD Scholarship Program, designed to help encourage students to live well with IBD so that they can excel at their personal and academic goals. Through an unrestricted educational grant by Abbott in Canada, CCFC will
extend seven one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 to students living with IBD who are entering into or currently attending a post-secondary institution. Students of all ages are welcome to apply and the scholarship can be used for any Canadian post-secondary institution. The program supports students with Crohn’s and colitis during a critical time in their lives, helping ensure their disease doesn’t prevent them from achieving their full potential,” says Dr. Kevin Glasgow, CCFC’s chief executive officer. “Due to the isolating nature of the disease, people living with IBD too often miss out on the great life experiences many of us take for granted, including completing their education. “While the search for a cure continues, we believe this partnership with Abbott will open many doors, and help lift some of the burden of living with IBD.” Visit www.ccfc.ca for full application details.

dward Giobbi once said, “I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one
gets from participating in nature’s rebirth?” These words are so applicable to my own nature in regards to spring, that I just had to share them. March has been teasing us with sunshine, then
snow, sunshine, then wind and cold, sunshine, then more snow. Sigh. Besides wind, mud, and unpredictable weather, March also brings us the dreaded tax time. No wonder it’s a tough

month to relax in. I was outside yesterday in the sunshine pleased to see my crocuses blooming, and daffodils and tulips up a couple of inches. It made my heart sing in anticipation of the coming season. With spring will come Easter and then the first new lettuces and vegetables of the year, leading to lighter eating for many of us. Today I’m offering a lamb recipe with a pesto made with parsley and sharp Pecorino Romano cheese. It makes a colourful topping for tender lamb chops. It could also be tossed with pasta, spread on sandwiches, or mixed with cream cheese for a dip to serve with crudités. With Easter in mind, I’m also offering a delicious recipe for a special Key lime pie, a perfect dessert this season.

Volunteers help keep the Crisis Line going Morning Star Staff
All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by this Bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above Bylaws. Copies of the proposed Bylaws may be inspected at the of¿ce of the City of Armstrong through to March 26, 2012 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. No submissions to Council will be received following conclusion of the Public Hearing. Patti Ferguson, CMC Administrator
Last year, the Crisis Line received more than 4,000 calls, and thanks to dedicated volunteers there was someone on the other end of the line to take those calls. But more volunteers are always needed. The PIN Crisis Line is taking applications now for the next volunteer Crisis Line worker training, which begins April 13. “If you are interested in learning to help people help themselves, learn excellent communication skills and crisis intervention, then consider becoming a member of our team,” said Sharon Durant, community education and program support coordinator for the Canadian Mental Health Association in Vernon, which runs the Crisis Line. The Crisis Line has operated without interruption 24 hours a day since it opened in 1975. “The credit for this must be given to the hundreds of volunteers for their compassion, commitment and dedication, for they are the ones who have provided countless hours of listening and empowering,” said Durant. Of the 4,503 calls received in 2011, 29 per cent were for mental emotional health concerns; 11 per
TELL YOUR
cent were for relationship issues (family and other); 18 per cent were information/referral calls and seven per cent were suicide-related calls. Crisis Line workers gave 2,143 referrals in 2011. All volunteers are required to take part in a minimum of 35 hours of in-class and practical training, which is done one-on-one with a staff person. After the completion of training, volunteers are required to commit to a minimum of 200 hours of Crisis Intervention work, for a minimum of three four-hour shifts and one eight-hour overnight shift per month. Volunteers can be excepted from working overnight shifts for valid medical reasons. The Crisis Line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The lines are staffed by an average of 35 volunteer crisis line workers and three staff members. “During training, participants will increase their communication and interpersonal skills,” said Durant. “All types of calls will be covered and how to handle them through specific procedures.” Session topics include behaviours, mental illness, abuse, suicide, isolation, grief and crisis intervention. For more information or for a volunteer application, please call the program office at 250-5458074.

How to avoid damping-off
F
or those who missed the Enderby and Cherryville seed sales, there is one more chance: Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Schubert Centre, it’s the SENS Seed Swap and Sale, with free admission; bring envelopes for your free seeds. At 7:30 p.m., Jana McNab will talk about permaculture; and at 7:45 p.m., Dave Doncaster will discuss genetically modified foods and your health. I haven’t been able to work outside much with the rain and cold weather we’re having lately. I managed to get the leaves out of my little greenhouse as the plants in there were starting to grow. I put the trays outside on the patio and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this year, Jocelyne Sewell even the plants in the smallest pots survived. The trays were sitting on a bed of leaves and covered with them. I had about 15 bags of leaves all around the greenhouse to protect a bit more. It worked. Now I will be using these leaves in my compost and also making leaf mold. Some of them are quite wet and will go in the compost with the first mowing. The dried ones I will shred. An old lawn mower makes a very good shredder not only for leaves but for all the stuff from your garden as long as it is not too big. It doesn’t work very well with corn stalks and roots. Leaves in a bin will not break down in the course of one winter into the fine black leaf mold found on forest floors. Such black mold is the result of several years’ decomposition. But if shredded, the leaves will break down enough to make excellent mulch. The ability of such leaf mold to hold moisture is five to 10 times that of ordinary topsoil. Pound for pound,
A GARDENER’S DIARY
the leaves of most trees contain twice as many minerals as does manure. Leaves are most valuable for the large amounts of fibrous organic matter that they supply. They aerate heavy clay soils, and, in sandy soils, soak up water and check evaporation. It is best to work the leaves in the soil in the fall as they have time to break down before the planting season. Plants which require acid soil will welcome a mulch of acid leaves such as oak leaves or pine needles. Good for strawberries year round, pine needles can be a fire hazard when dry. My little tomato seedlings are up. I have started a lot of them because I am using some old seeds and want to check the longevity of them. Between peppers and tomatoes, I have put in 707 seeds. I truly hope that some of them don’t make it, as I will running short of shelves and pots. One of the most discouraging things is when those nice little seedlings that you have been waiting for so patiently and are so proud of suddenly drop on their side. They’ve probably been struck by damping-off. This disease is caused by any of several soil-dwelling fungi that attack germinating seeds before they emerge from the soil or shortly after. Damping-off can be prevented by providing seed flats with proper drainage and using a sterile growing medium. Keep the medium on the dry side and space plants so that air can circulate among them and remove any excess moisture. Your seedlings should also be under bright light. I was reading that a sprinkle of cinnamon powder on the soil when you start your seeds might help stop damping-off. Cinnamon is a natural fungicide. Chamomile tea is often used after damping-off has begun. It may not kill the causal organisms, but can inhibit reproduction and reduce their spread.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It may not be smart to push for certain things, such as matters that affect your material affairs, if you sense the timing is bad. Listen to what your instincts are telling you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Instead of going with the flow as you normally might do, you are likely to be determined to focus on one specific goal. It’ll be for a worthy purpose. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Pay attention and you could learn something important by observing how another conducts him or herself in a development that is similar to one you will soon face. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Being fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time will make you privy to some advance information concerning something profitable that is about to go down. Use it with discretion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone you respect who has counseled you correctly in the past is the same person you should go to again if you’re having a problem making another critical decision.
loved one. If the leash is held too tightly, it could become a choke chain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) An important development can be finalized to your satisfaction, provided you are tenacious and persistent. Don’t settle for second-best. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If there is something important that you need to do, get it out of the way as early in the day as possible. If you wait until you’re pushed into it, you may do a rotten job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Take some time to study and review your financial position. Something that would save or make you more money could come out of a close, meticulous study. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Any favors you do for others aren’t likely to be repaid immediately. However, when they are, there is a chance you’ll get more in return than you gave.

This is a one owner Passat with only 105,000 kilometres on it. This car has been driven less than 10,000 kilometers per year. The 2.8L V6 was great for trips to the ski hill and commuting around the Okanagan to visit family and friends. This car comes with two sets of rims and tires.
This low kilometre V8 Dakota comes equipped with an adjustable boat rack worth over $1200. The tires on this truck are like brand new. It is a local BC truck that has been driven less than 19,000 kilometres per year. Excellent value for a 4x4 pickup in this condition.
This Santa Fe is a local one owner vehicle that was purchased right here in Vernon. This vehicle was owned by a retired couple who primarily used this Santa Fe to commute to the golf course. The V6 engine made sure they never missed their tee time. With only 87,000 kms, this Santa Fe is in excellent condition.
This Hemi only has 76,000 kilomeres on it. The previous owner kept this truck in immaculate condition. He had seat covers on the front seats and 3 sets of floor mats on the floor. Tube steps and tonneau cover worth over $2,000 also come on this beauty.

News Licensed grow-op exceeds limit Morning Star Staff
He has a licence to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes. But a 44-year-old Lake Country man is facing possible charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking after police found he was growing more plants than his licence allowed. Lake Country RCMP executed a search warrant Friday at a residence in the 11800 block of McGowan Road. Police were aware that the owner of the home had a medical marijuana licence for 122 plants. “Information suggested he was exceeding that number,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Kris Clark. Police located a sophisticated grow operation in the detached garage, which, as suspected, far exceeded the allotment provided by the medical marijuana license. Police seized 267 marijuana plants of the 389 located, leaving the 122 to which the man was legally entitled. Investigators also found issues with the electrical to the garage, and service was subsequently terminated to the outbuilding. A 14-year-old boy was located living inside the residence as it is his parents’ home. Health Canada will be informed of the man’s license violation with the recommendation that it be revoked. “When police present evidence to a judge that there are reasonable and probable grounds to believe that a criminal offence is taking place, and a warrant is granted, police may search residences that have medical marijuana licences,” said Clark.

Economics professor seeks new taxation system Morning Star Staff
A University of B.C. professor is calling for a new system of taxation.
Ross Hickey, who teaches economics, spoke about strategies for taxation during the latest installment
of the Green Party’s speaker series at the Schubert Centre. “The very rich have been getting very richer

Hickey also recommends returning to what he calls a more progressive tax system. “We must create more tax brackets with higher tax rates for higher incomes,” he said. “We don’t want to discourage people from working but we do want to have a system that is fair and provides sufficient revenue for education, health care, housing, day care & other social programs.” The next session of the speaker series will feature UBC professor John Janmaat on the economic and ecological costs of pipelines. It runs at 7 p.m. April 2 at the Schubert Centre.

New services are opening up for people looking for work.

Q: A:
My sister looks after my dad, who has advanced Parkinsons. She insists she’s fine but her heart doesn’t seem to be into anything these days. What’s happening?
One quarter of Canadian families spend an average of 20 hours per week caring for a senior. The majority are also employed outside the home. The added stress often leads to ‘caregiver burnout’, a condition involving fatigue, stress, anxiety and depression. Following are a few tips for caregivers like your sister. • Find enjoyment, every day. Reading, watching a movie, playing the piano; something that’s for you! • Stay healthy. A well balanced diet coupled with age appropriate exercise is a powerful coping mechanism for added stress. • Socialize. One of the most common symptoms of burnout is withdrawl. Connect with family and friends on a regular basis. • Get Help. It’s common for caregivers to feel they’re the only one that knows exactly how to care for their loved one. Other family members, friends and professional caregivers can add value, meaning and much needed respite. Everyone should enjoy the experience.

Q: A:
Q: A:
When we first bought our home, we took our mortgage out over 35 years to keep our payments fairly low. What do you recommend that we do to reduce the time & own our home sooner?
This is a great question! In this low interest rate environment, any extra payment that you can make on your mortgage is going to help reduce the repayment time substantially. If you are able to make an extra monthly payment during the year & every year there after, you will reduce your mortgage repayment by 5 years or more! Here are some small changes that you can make to also help escalate the repayment time. • Change your payment from monthly to accelerated biweekly (or weekly if you are paid weekly). The effect of doing this one change will reduce the mortgage by the same one monthly payment annually. • Check your mortgage statement- make sure the biweekly or weekly payment says “Accelerated.” If the word is not listed, you need to make the change as this type of biweekly payment cycle is the same as a monthly payment & not reducing the overall time. • Set up an extra payment- start with a small amount that you can afford $25, $50, $100. If your mortgage has a minimum extra payment amount, simply open a separate mortgage savings account & apply the lump sum on your anniversary date • If you are on a variable rate, find out what the payment should be at a regular 5 year fixed rate of 3.29% & change the payment to that amount to ensure that you are paying down the principal & not just paying interest only on your mortgage • Most mortgages allow for a 15%-20% prepayment annually without penalty. Try to pay as much as you can as your investment will go a lot farther with today’s low rates than when interest rise in the next few years. **Remember the average mortgage interest rate has been 5% & higher historically.

Q: A:
My husband struggled in school. How can I tell if my preschool/kindergarten child has inherited his learning challenges?
Here are some things to look for: has delayed/unclear speech, has poor sentence structure or grammar, has trouble remembering the order of numbers for counting or letters of the alphabet, has poor fine motor control for printing or colouring, doesn’t get rhyming, write letters or numbers from the bottom up, often reverses written numbers or letters, may write his name backwards, may seem clumsy and accident prone, doesn’t connect actions with consequences, has a constantly messy play area, is easily distracted, can’t stay on task for any length of time, asks “What?” too often, has L-R confusion. If your child shows the majority of these difficulties, he likely has inherited a learning challenge and will need some extra help to aid him in solving the learning riddle. Call us for ideas about things you can do at home to get your child ready to learn at school. You may choose to bring your child for lessons in the spring of his kindergarten year to give him a jump on learning to read.
Clinical Hypnotherapist Registered Professional Counsellor
What exactly is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative therapy done while you are in a state of hypnosis. Hypnosis slows down our brain waves and allows access to our personal memory vault - the subconscious mind - the storage bin for our life experiences. A well trained Hypnotherapist will help you to access issues that you have agreed to deal with while you are in a state of focused concentration. But don’t worry, you will not say or do anything that you would not normally say or do. (i.e. you won’t give me your pin number, nor will you act silly) It is a natural, chemical-free complementary therapy that can help you to make positive change in your life. Look for therapists who have the designation of Clinical Hypnotherapist (C.Ht.). It is a therapy whose time has come.

What impact does untreated hearing loss have on quality of life?
There is extensive research concerning the impact of hearing loss on quality of life. This research confirms that hearing loss negatively impacts nearly every dimension of the human experience including physical, emotional and mental health, social skills, family relationships, work and school performance. Some further consequences of untreated hearing loss include increased worry and anxiety in social situations, decreased social activity, increased frustration among family members and friends, reduced household earnings, and poorer overall health and quality of life ratings. Early detection and treatment of hearing problems can have a positive impact on your quality of life. Call us today to book your complimentary hearing test and consultation.

Q: A:
The snow is melting and I know allergy season is coming. Every year I get congested, my nose is running and I have runny and itchy eyes. Is there anything that I can do to treat my seasonal allergies naturally?
Yes, there are many natural health products that can help to decrease your allergic and inflammatory response to the pollen, mold and pets. Vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids can stabilize the capillaries and help to minimize the swelling and inflammation in the mucous membranes of the nose. Quercetin is an example of a particularly potent bioflavonoid that helps to prevent the release of histamine. This can reduce the allergic symptoms and the amount of anti-histamines you need to take. There are homeopathic medicines available from Naturopathic Physicians and homeopaths that can help with symptom relief and can be taken orally or in the form of nasal sprays. You can be desensitized with drops under the tongue called sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) which can be taken daily throughout the year or used before allergy season to reduce symptoms. This type of therapy does require a skin test to determine which pollen type(s) you are reacting to.

Q: A:
Can you help me find the right new home?
When looking at a home, you will be distracted with granite counters and hardwood floors: I will not. I will look at the essence of the home, as that is far more important: we can update the counters. When you talk with your realtor they will utter three words that I love: location, location, location. If your home is located well, then most of my work is done. This refers to how the home ‘sits’ in the neighborhood, what surrounds it, and whether it supports your family. Not so much whether it is in the supposed ‘up and coming’ neighborhood. There is a belief that a home should look perfect, like on HGTV. I am here to tell you straight out that a clean and well-kept home in a good location will trump granite counters every time!

Versteeg claims slopestyle crown Earns $2,500 at Canadian finals in Calgary GRAEME CORBETT & KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Jon Versteeg hates to work. So instead, he gets paid to play. The 22-year-old VSS grad was able to fund his summer surfing expedition to El Salvador by racking up wins on the snowboard slopetyle circuit. When Versteeg got back from a Central American excursion in November, he once again swapped his surf board for a snowboard and got back to work. In his recent FIS World Cup debut in Stoneham, Que., he Jon Versteeg finished second overall to earn $6,500. He defeated the Netherland’s Dimi De Jong and Canadian rider Maxence Parrot. The 22-year-old VSS grad pocketed another $2,500 Saturday in Calgary by winning the Canadian Slopestyle Championships at Canada Olympic Park. Versteeg had the best run of the day scoring 81.70 to put him on top of the podium. Darcy Sharpe of Comox was a close second at 80.50, followed by Matts Kulisek from Sainte-Adèle, Que., in third with an 80.3. “I just did my run to make finals and stepped things up for the finals,” said Versteeg. “I did a Switchback Nine and a Cab 10 at the end of the jumps and a 1080 on the bottom rail.” On the women’s side, Breanna Stangeland of Calgary scored an 83.20 to earn the Snowcrown and the Canadian Slopestyle title. Brooke Voigt of Fort McMurray was second with a score of 75.40. Up and comer Samm Denena of Orillia, Ont. was third with a score of 69.00. Slopestyle tests a skier’s ability to handle a variety of terrain by executing freestyle maneuvers down a course. Each course is filled with features including rails, jibs, hips and a variety of jumps allowing riders to combine big air and technical
tricks into one run. Competitors are scored in an overall impression judging format on amplitude, execution, difficulty of line, landing and use of the course. It is also important to perform different types of tricks instead of doing one great trick repeatedly. Slopestyle is one of the most popular events at the Winter X Games. It will become an Olympic event, in both skiing and snowboarding forms, at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Versteeg, who was ecstatic about going home to Whistler after being on the road for a month, has plenty of comps left this season. He has the Telus Festival at Whistler, a Shoutdown over The City, at Grouse Mountain and the Shakedown in Quebec with a $20,000 firstplace purse. Versteeg was hoping to compete in Stoneham last year, but was called just days before the event and was informed he could not start due to lack of FIS points. “I had no idea about points systems. I was just competing to make money,” said Versteeg, who has since joined the Canada Snowboard slopestyle team and is working the with coaches to get a better understanding of the system. Whether he is competing at smaller venues or at a world cup event, Versteeg takes the same approach – go big or go home. “Whether it’s big or small, I just do my best. If I screw up, I screw up,” he shrugged. On his performance in Stoneham, he added: “I had a pretty decent jump – I got two 9s and a 10 – and I was doing harder tricks on the rails.” Versteeg really broke onto the slopestyle scene in 2010, posting a silver-medal performance at the Burton Canadian Open. He added three podium placing in You Look Good Riders Cup. He made it through qualifying at the recent Burton U.S. Open in Stratton, Vt., but settled for 52nd overall. Versteeg is sponsored by Nike 6.0 and Whitegold Snowboards.

Lakers in tough at Pee Wee provincials Morning Star Staff
Depending on who beat who in games played Tuesday afternoon and night, the Vernon Sladen Moore Lakers may not be happy tourists at the B.C. Pee Wee Female AAA Hockey Championships in Richmond. The Lakers played their hearts out but lost 3-1 to the Richmond Ravens Tuesday morning, falling to 1-2 in the six-team provincial playdowns. Vernon stopped the Prince George Cougars 3-0 Sunday afternoon and bowed 4-1 to the North Shore Avalanche Monday morning. “They’re having fun, but they’re dejected because we lost this morning,” said Laker head coach Arne Head, assisted by Keith Tucker, Jeff Southam and Mike McCaig. “We played our best and came up short. You hate to rely on PHOTO SUBMITTED other teams having to win so you have Jordan Butler heads up ice with the puck, while an outside chance at the final.” Chelsea Marshall (left) and Courtney Graves lend supVernon met the Rossland-Trail port against the Richmond Ravens.

with the Vancouver Island Royals Thursday morning. The championship game goes Thursday night. Vernon needed the Wildcats to upset Surrey early Tuesday afternoon, but Surrey scored a late goal in a 1-0 win. Richmond scored two late goals in the first period and held off the Lakers, who outshot the Ravens 30-15. Amy Fox, from Jenna Fletcher, handled the Vernon offence. “We totally outplayed them,” said Head. “We just had a 10-minute meltdown in the second half of the first period and that cost us.” The Lakers gave up a breakaway goal 15 seconds in against North Shore and got in some penalty trouble later in the game. “We had a crappy start and we didn’t give up,” said Head. “They’re very skilled and they outshot us by double.” Cassidy Marshall converted from Fletcher and Andie Kaneda for the Sladen Moore goal late in the second period. Samantha Head blocked 18 shots for the
shutout win over Prince George. Mairyn Tucker opened the scoring unassisted halfway through the first period, firing a hard shot that eluded the Cougars’ tender, and then set up Emily Clarke on a nice goalmouth feed with Clarke going hard to the net. Makenna Hoffman drew the second assist. The third goal was scored by Teira Joseph on a point shot with Clarke assisting and Tucker and Hoffman creating traffic in front. Meanwhile, the host Salmon Arm Silvertips – with 10 Vernon products on their roster – opened the Midget Female Provincials with a 3-1 loss to Surrey Tuesday morning. Hailey Silcocks of Vernon scored for the Tips, from Lisa Campeau. Salmon Arm met Vancouver Island Tuesday night (they lost 2-1 to Kelowna in their opener) and face Kelowna and Richmond today. Richmond started off by ambushing Whitehorse 17-1.

Kal Tire Round Up smash hit for kids

Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Ski Club created the Silver Star Kal Tire Round Up three years ago to offer something different from the mainstream festivals like Nancy Greene’s Festival at Sun Peaks. Rather than the same old Slalom, Giant Slalom, and a Jump, club officials decided to create an event that really gives back to the kids and parents. The events are open so members and non-members of BC Alpine can try out events like: Ski Cross, Under The Hill Downhill (a safe speed event), and a Head to Head Pro Style sprint Slalom. “These are the events kids see on

TV and they want to try to see what’s it all about,” said Garry van Soest of the club. “We lowered the entry fee to half of other festivals and we ask sponsors to give us lots of ski gear to give away. “We’ve given away six pairs of skis, 10 pair of poles, XBox, and lots of ski tuning gear and equipment to the tune of $4,000 in prizes. Nobody else is doing this. We believe it’s about the kids getting a chance to do something they wouldn’t normally get to do and to receive awesome prizes.” More than 1,000 kids from all over B.C. and Alberta have enjoyed the Round Up.

Vees grab 2-1 lead Morning Star Staff
Joey Benik scored a pair of goals Monday night as the Penticton Vees grounded the host Chilliwack Chiefs 3-1 before 1,900 fans at the Prospera Centre. The Vees, who lost 3-2 in overtime, Saturday night in Penticton, took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven B.C. Hockey League quarterfinal series Game 4 Tuesday night. Michael Spring of the Chiefs set the physical tone on the first shift, running over Penticton blueliner Mike Reilly behind the Vees net. Derek Huisman followed Spring’s lead a couple shifts later, leveling Wade Murphy with a solid hit along the left-wing boards. Chilliwack did a nice job taking away Penticton’s time and space, but the Vees still managed to open the scoring at 11:12 of the first period on a goal that Chiefs ‘netminder Mitch Gillam would love to have back. Benik did the damage with a wrist shot from beyond the left faceoff circle, sneaking the puck under Gillam’s glove and just inside the right goal-post. The resilient Chiefs answered back just 75 seconds later on a goal by Trevor Hills. The overtime hero in Game 2 cruised through the Vees’ goal-mouth and deflected a David Thompson point shot past Penticton keeper Chad Katunar. The second period pretty much looked like one big Penticton power play, with the Vees owning the puck from start to finish. The Chiefs didn’t help their cause with
penalties, and it was a Thompson tripping minor that led to the only goal of the middle frame. Mike Reilly scored it, one timing a feed from Troy Stecher at 17:05. The other highlight of period two was a scrap between Chilliwack’s Shay Laurent and Penticton’s Logan Johnston. Laurent got Johnston’s attention when he bowled over Mario Lucia at the Chiefs’ blueline. The two dropped their mitts in the left corner and traded rights. Benik added an empty-netter with 39 seconds remaining. The Vees’ No. 1 goalie, Michael Garteig, is listed as day-to-day on injured reserve. Malcolm Gould and Spencer Graboski scored the other Chilliwack goals Saturday before 2,200 fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Ryan Reilly and STEVE KIDD/BLACK PRESS SPORTS Johnston scored for the Vees. Chilliwack goalie Mitch Gillam blocks a shot with Meanwhile, the Merritt Penticton’s Bryce Gervais on his doorstep Saturday. Centennials held a 3-0 series strangehold on the host Prince George Spruce Kings after winning 4-3 in Powell River Kings in front of 750 fans overtime before 1,300 fans Monday night at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Powell River led the series 2-1 heading at the Coliseum. Evan Stack netted the winner at 5:41 into Game 4 Tuesday night. Devin Gannon pulled the hat trick as of OT, from Chad Brears. Lino Chimienti the Cowichan Valley Capitals upended the made 25 saves for the Cents. In Coquitlam, Justin Georgeson scored Surrey Eagles 5-2 Monday night before at 2:25 of OT as the Express clipped the 1,600 fans at the Island Savings Centre.
Silvertips slip into playoffs Morning Star Staff
Vernon minor hockey products Zach McPhee and Ryan Harrison supplied third-period offence as the Everett Silvertips rallied to stop the host Seattle Thunderbirds 6-4 Saturday night before 6,125 fans at the ShoWare Centre in Kent. McPhee, with his fifth of the year, made it 4-4 at 8:31 of the third. Harrison then drew the primary assist on Cody Fowlie’s 14th, seven minutes later. Harrison, now a Kelowna resident, added an empty-netter, for his 20th goal of the season, with 19 seconds remaining. The Silvertips, coached by former Vernon Viper bench boss Mark Ferner, had their streak of making the playoffs in every season of the franchise’s nineyear history extended Sunday night as Seattle lost 8-2 to the Portland Winterhawks in the final game of the Western Hockey League regular season. Seattle had a chance to tie Everett for the eighth and final playoff berth in the Western Conference. Had the T-birds beaten the Winterhawks on Sunday, it would have forced a one-game playoff for the conference’s final playoff berth. Portland’s victory gave the Tips the eighth spot outright. The Tips will face top-seeded Tri-City Americans in the first round. The series begins Friday in Kennewick. Things didn’t look promising as the injuryriddled Tips had just six wins and were 10 points off the bottom of the conference standings at one point. However, Everett got superstar d-man Ryan Murray back off injured reserve and rallied in the final two months, winning 12 of its final 23 games.

Knights bag Fiesta bronze Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights brushed off the Port Moody Panthers 6-5 in Sunday’s bronze-medal game in the Osoyoos Atom Hockey Fiesta Coyote Cup Tournament. The Panthers finally opened the scoring in the second, with two goals before Griffin Evans, assisted by Alex Gilowski got the Knights on the scoreboard. Nicholas Walker from Bryan Brew tied it up, and again, the Panthers struck. A late goal from Wesley Graves, assisted by Evans, sent the game into the third even at 3-3. Once more, the teams traded goals, until the Knights pulled ahead by a deuce, with six minutes left in the game. Mitchell Brown, Kord Haller and Walker supplied the third-period snipes in support of Caedon Bellmann. There were a dozen teams from the Canada and the U.S. and three pools involved. The Knights opened with a 9-3 win over the Merritt Jr. Centennials. Eli Dwyer pocketed 3+2, while Brown bagged 2+2 and other goals came from Graves, Walker, Brandon Matvenko, and Michael Kormany. The North Okanagan crew then toppled the Port Coquitlam Pirates 6-3 with Brew (unassisted) and Brown, assisted by Matvenko, responding after the Bucs scored 40 seconds in. Dwyer from Matvenko gave the Knights some breathing room in the second, but the Pirates brought it back to within one before the end of the frame. Brown and the Pirates each scored quickly to open the third, but another from Brown, and the clincher, from Evans, completed the Knights’ offence in front of Easton Hunter. In Game 2 Saturday, the Knights bowed 4-3 to the Williams Lake Timberwolves. Brown (2) and Brett Zbytnuik supplied the goals in front of Bellmann.
The Knights slotted into the wildcard spot and lost 9-4 to Cranbrook in the semifinals. Kormany, Walker, Brew and Scott Glowski scored for the Knights with Hunter in goal.
‘05 Kingfishers post pair of wins The Vernon ‘05 Kingfishers doused the Kelowna Heat 5-3 in spring AAA hockey play Sunday morning in Kamloops. Captain JJ Milne pulled the hat trick, while Zack Casagrande and Zachary Milne each added singles in support of Logan Killingbeck. In Sunday afternoon play, the Kamloops Ice Pirates demolished the Kingfishers 9-2 with Casagrande and Zach Milne scoring the Vernon goals. “The kids played three 20-minute stop time periods and were seriously dragging their tails the second game,” said Vernon coach Tim Milne. “The ‘05s have had a good introduction to spring AAA on the big ice and are learning.” The Kingfishers opened their season with a 5-4 win over the West Kelowna Knights 5-4 Saturday in Armstrong. JJ Milne, with thee snipes, and d-man Brayden Schwaerzle, with a deuce, handled the Kingfishers’ offence.

Bridge by Phillip Alder SETTING UP A SUIT: THE BATTLE CONTINUES Football coach Vince Lombardi said, “I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle -victorious.” One bridge deal should not be that exhausting, but many, especially in no-trump, are battles for suit establishment -- as we saw yesterday and will see today. How should the play go in three no-trump after West leads the spade six? There are five scenarios. First, East wins with his
spade ace and returns the spade jack, covered by the queen and king. South takes the third spade and plays three rounds of diamonds, losing the last of those but taking the rest for an overtrick. Second, West ducks at trick two, giving South the trick he is due and retaining communication with his partner. Then, when East gets in with his diamond trick, a third spade gives West three tricks in that suit to defeat the contract. Third, South does not cover the spade jack at trick two. This saves the contract whenever it can be made. Fourth, East plays his spade jack at trick one. (Since East can
anticipate gaining the lead in diamonds, this is not far-fetched, trying to make South burn up his one spade stopper immediately.) If South does win the trick, he will fail. But, fifth, if he works out to duck, he will get home. What a battlefield of possibilities!

Gordon Wesley Udell Gordon Wesley Udell passed peacefully into the arms of his Lord and Saviour on March 16, 2012. He is survived by his loving and devoted war bride of 68 years, Kathleen. She will forever remember and miss her ‘precious’ Gordie. He is also survived by his 7 children; Lesley (Burgie), Reg (Jan), Walter (Daphne), Tim, Theresa (Christopher), Corinne (Philip), Pat; as well as his 18 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Olive, and his sister-in-law, Lorna. Gordon was born on September 5, 1918 in Stettler, Alberta to George Wesley Udell and Rosemary (Harper). He grew up on the homestead in Breton, Alberta. He served in World War II riding a Harley motorcycle as a dispatch rider with the 39th air reconnaissance. He met Kathy while stationed in England and married her on March 18, 1944. When returning to Canada, Gordon had numerous jobs including logger, welder, machinist, truck driver, millwright/ planerman, electrician, diesel mechanic and finally, manager at B.C. Hydro. Gordon spent the majority of his working life in the beautiful village of Valemount, B.C. where he also served as an alderman and mayor. Gordon and Kathy retired to Vernon, B.C. where they spent over 20 happy years. They took some exciting vacations and had lots of wonderful family celebrations. Gordon was well respected for his quiet but strong presence, his incredible patience, his disciplined approach to life and his integrity and strength. He left a legacy of service to man and God through his generosity and selflessness. He had a great sense of humour and a wonderful, contagious laugh.

Pair share in museum prize Morning Star Staff
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Visitors to the Greater Vernon Museum were recently asked to identify these mystery objects from the museum’s extensive collection.
Local history buffs were put to the test. The Greater Vernon Museum recently held its annual What Is It? contest. “Museum visitors were invited to identify each of the mystery objects,” said Barbara Bell, archivist. The correct items were a hat pin, glove stretchers, pick-up sticks, a bullet mold, a rolling ruler for mileage and a lead pointer/sharpener. “This year, three contest entrants qualified as winners, each guessing five out of six objects correctly, and a second mini-contest was held to determine the ultimate winner.” The result was another tie between two of the contestants, Ingrid Baron and Dennis Chorneyko, who will share a prize pizza from KT’s Restaurant.
FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.
BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS
FACT
The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.
The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.
The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.
The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.
The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.
The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.
The union says that government refuses to negotiate.
There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.
The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.
Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.
The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.
2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.
It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.
