Massive Falkland grow-op busted Morning Star Staff
RCMP have shut down what they are calling one of the largest marijuana grow operations ever in the North Okanagan. On Wednesday, RCMP officers searched a rural property in the 4300 block of Culling Road in the Falkland area after a lengthy investigation. “The search located 13,383 marijuana plants is various stages of development in a large outbuilding,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson
VERNON TOYOTA
The operation was being run off a generator for its power supply. “This is one of the largest grow operations we have dismantled in the area,” said Sgt. Dave Evans, of the RCMP’s rural detachment. “This is just one more of the illegal grow operations we have targeted in our area. We will continue to conduct these kinds of investigations in the future.” A 38-year-old man was taken into custody at the Culling Road property.

The man who tried to rob a Coldstream woman in the Lincoln Lanes parking lot in November has been given jail time. Judge Mark Takahashi sentence d Robin Edward Konkle, 41, to 20 months in prison in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday, after Konkle pleaded guilty to armed robbery. Konkle was also ordered to provide a DNA sample, and was given a 10-year mandatory firearms prohibition. The woman had finished her bowling league games and was returning to her car in the parking lot on Nov. 25 when she was approached by a man the woman had seen inside the bowling alley drinking a pop and playing with his cell phone. The woman said the man demanded money as she opened her car door, and she instinctively pressed her car horn, scaring off the suspect. A video surveillance camera inside the bowling alley caught an image of the suspect, which local media broadcast. A man was arrested a few days later by Vernon RCMP, who received tips from the public thanks in part to the video footage.

Magazine says city not so great RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A dismal ranking for Vernon on the national stage is being described as a call for action. Vernon is listed as the 127th best place to live in Canada out of 190 cities by MoneySense magazine. “It’s still a great place to live but they are looking at the realities of the community,� said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager. “A lot of it is because of (low) employment and wages. We can’t compete with Strathcona County in Alberta and the oil and gas sector.� The other factor that negatively impacts Vernon is the high cost of housing. “Houses are substantially more here than with our competitors across the country,� said Poole. Vernon was listed as 20th overall best city to live in 2009, and Poole insists action is needed to turn the situation around. “We need to find ways to create employment and bring families here,� he
“We have made several lists over the years.� — Kevin Poole said, adding that initiatives are underway between the city and the region to identify suitable tracts of land for industrial activities. Efforts are also targeting attainable housing. As part of the MoneySense article, Vernon was named the 17th best city in Canada to retire in. “It doesn’t surprise me. We have made several lists for that over the years,� said Poole. But Poole insists Vernon’s economy, and particularly construction, has been geared towards meeting the needs of retirees and there hasn’t been as much

emphasis on families and bolstering the tax base. “To make a sustainable community, we need to continue to look at employment and bring manufacturing jobs back to the community,� he said. “We need to support our recreational facilities.� As part of the MoneySense article, Vernon was identified as 175th for the best city to raise children and 142nd for employment. Factors considered during the survey included walking/biking to work, affordable housing, household income, discretionary income, new cars, population growth, crime, the availability of doctors, the weather, the jobless rate and culture. The magazine states that the best place to live in Canada is Ottawa, Ont. while 190th was New Glasgow, N.S. In terms of B.C. Saanich was the highest at 15th while Kamloops was 44th, Vancouver was 56th, Salmon Arm was 61st, Penticton was 132nd, Kelowna was 144th and Williams Lake was 189th.
Kevin Acton almost outspent his competitors combined to ensure he remained Lumby’s mayor. Financial documents from November indicate Acton had expenses of $3,196 for his re-election bid while Janet Green spent $1,245 and Jim McEwan spent $2,350 in their attempts to become the mayor. “I felt it was necessary because there was three candidates and I wanted to send a message that I wanted the position and I also wanted to separate myself from the village so I rented a place so people could come and see me,� said Acton. Acton spent $470 on media advertising and $1,600 on Kevin Acton signs and pamphlets. He accepted no contributions from supporters. “It was a lot of money out of my pocket when you think that my taxable income as mayor is $8,000 (out of a total salary of $12,000),� he said. McEwan had $735 in contributions, with $200 coming from Colleen and Kim Ferrie, $150 from Pinnacle Communications and $100 each from Betty Stroulger and Harold Hatterscheidt. He spent $513 on advertising and $1,560 on signs and pamphlets. Green received $700 in contributions but they were from herself and Glenn Green. Green’s expenses included $358 for advertising and $701 for signs and pamphlets. Of the four candidates elected as councillors, the expenses were $633 for Lori Mindnich, $504 for Jo Anne Fisher, $360 for Nick Hodge and $214 for Randal Ostafichuk. Among the other candidates, expenses were $430 for James Harvey, $29 for Judy Gibbs, $123 for Murray August and $486 for Elinor Turrill.

Building inspection undergoes review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The future of regional building inspection services will be scrutinized further. The Regional District of North Okanagan board will use its committee structure to consider the building inspection department’s activities and whether changes possibly need to be made to building permit fees. “We want to see if there are any savings to be achieved,” said director Howie Cyr. “We want to gain an understanding of how it works.” The most contentious issue Shirley Fowler the committee will consider is whether using general taxation as a revenue source in 2012 will continue next year. The board recently approved $150,000 in taxation to support the building inspection function, which has seen building permit revenue decline during the recession. However, four jurisdictions opposed the move and they have threatened to withdraw from the service. “The 5-4 vote was not a win and there’s a lot of work to be done,” said Rob Smailes, general manager of planning, who supports reviewing the function. The review of the service delivery model has support from Shirley Fowler, who voted against taxation this year. “This is an opportunity to work together and see where the concerns are,” she said.
capacity in a certain amount of time (next fall), I’ll have to do something else,” said Poggemoeller. RDNO staff say it would have taken about seven to eight weeks for the ALC application to be considered through the traditional process. But without a staff report, the board will make a decision April 4. It’s not known when the ALC may make a
decision on the application. Director Janice Brown is concerned any delays in opening a new kiln will reduce North Enderby Timber’s market. “Once they lose some of their customers, they lose them forever,” she said adding there will be an impact on the mill’s 103 staff and the community.

tion came from director Mike Macnabb, who says North Enderby Timber is being pushed ahead of other applicants. “We’re on a slippery slope. We’re setting a precedent,” he said. Before any construction can take place, North Enderby Timber must also apply to RDNO for official community plan and rezoning amendments and a development permit.

action, but teachers will be back on the job once spring break is over. At a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday, BCTF president Susan Lambert announced that union members will take part in a province-wide vote on April 17 and 18 to decide if they will withhold voluntary extracurricular duties to protest Bill 22. The legislation gives the provincial government the authority to impose heavy fines for strike action during an imposed six-month cooling-off period. A second member vote would have to be held with majority support before the union approves any strike action that would defy Bill 22 and trigger fines of $1.3 million a day for the union and $475 a day for individual teachers. Year-end report cards will be completed to allow students to apply for scholarships and post-secondary education, Lambert said. Vernon Teachers’ Association vice-president Kevin Bader said the motions that were passed at the BCTF annual general meeting last weekend make up the action plan teachers have adopted to repeal Bill 22. “So our job as a local is to take that package to our members after spring break to make sure they’re fully informed and to

have a full membership vote,” said Bader, a Grade 6/7 teacher at Hillview elementary school. He said teachers are particularly concerned about the negative impact of Bill 22 on class size and composition. The legislation removes any effective limits on class sizes from Grades 4 to 12 and eliminates caps on the numbers of students with special needs assigned to any particular class. “The mood is that teachers are angry and we’re concerned about what our classes are going to be like next year — I could be going back in September to a class of 50 students,” said Bader. “Teachers and students know classroom conditions better than anyone. We have been speaking up for the past 10 years about how reduced funding has resulted in high school courses no longer being offered, classes being over-crowded, and the bottom line:

less time per kid. This government has not listened to our concerns about real problems in real classrooms, their constituents, parents, or kids. The Supreme Court and the United Nations have both said the B.C. Liberals have passed illegal legislation. “So teachers are left with a big decision. Do we break those laws or do we let a law continue to destroy one of the highest-ranked public education systems in the world.” Lambert appeared to rule out any further work-to-rule action as students return from spring break, but she left the door open for individual districts to begin immediately withholding voluntary extra-curricular duties. Vernon is one of several districts that have already decided to withdraw from extracurricular activities. “We’re a federation of autonomous locals, and yes, they will be making their own decisions,” Lambert said. “The plan envisions a province-wide action, and that would be one that would I guess join up with the local actions that have already been started.” Bill 22 goes beyond forcing an end to the strike that has had teach-
ers refusing to complete report cards or meet with administrators since last September. It reimposes restrictions on class size and special needs support that a B.C. Supreme Court decision last year ruled were done without adequate consultation. Lambert said that will be a focus of new legal action. “Bill 22 addresses the judgment by repealing it in one paragraph and reinstating it in the next,” she said. “That’s more than arrogant.” Education Minister George Abbott returns next week from a 10-day visit to China promoting educational exchange. He said he will appoint a mediator when he returns, to seek agreement within the terms of the government’s twoyear wage freeze. The BCTF did not release the “action plan” worked out during delegate meetings in Vancouver this week, but did indicate that it rejects a provision of Bill 22 that could pay teachers extra if they teach classes of more than 30 students. Lambert termed the extra pay offer “cash for kids” and called it “totally unethical.” — with files from Black Press reporter Tom Fletcher.
For the record The Morning Star would like to clarify an error in Wednesday’s article, Challenger outspends incumbent. Peter McClean did not gain the most votes for Coldstream councillor in the November 2011 election. Doug Dirk topped the polls.

Not a cent spent on campaigns ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It didn’t cost a lot of money to run for council in Armstrong. Four incumbent councillors didn’t spend a penny during the municipal election campaign, nor did they receive any contributions, and the quartet – Shirley Fowler, Paul Britton, Ryan Nitchie and John Trainor – were all re-elected. “Essentially, the only things you spend money on during elections are advertising and election signs,” said Trainor, who was elected for a sixth term in November. “I didn’t advertise and I re-used my previous election signs.” Nitchie told people during the campaign that he didn’t put up signs because he hoped people would vote for
“I re-used my previous signs.” — John Trainor him based on his community involvement and what he’s done for the community as a councillor. “I’m fortunate that I have a job and do different things in the community where I’m approachable,” said Nitchie, who is heavily involved with the Armstrong Shamrocks senior and junior lacrosse clubs. “I get a chance to talk to the public during the day and that’s the best campaigning you can possibly do.” Nitchie doesn’t think not spending any
money is a sign of overconfidence. “I’m always nervous every election, you never know what can happen,” he said. Fellow incumbents Sully O’Sullivan and Kelly Rowe did have expenses during the campaign. O’Sullivan spent the most of any Armstrong candidate, spending $523.04 out of his own pocket for a mail-out pamphlet. He, too, reused previous election signs. “I thought it was a good idea to spend some money on the election,”
said O’Sullivan. Rowe spent $268.80 on election signs. Councillor challengers Robert Thibeau and Dave McKechnie each reported expenses, Thibeau just under $500 at $494.80 and McKechnie spent $252. Mayor Chris Pieper also reported zero expenses but he was voted in by acclamation. In Spallumcheen, mayor elect Janice Brown reported expenses of $1,014 and no contributions. Dave Brew, the former councillor who lost to Brown, reported $1,565.05 in contributions, and put all of that towards his expenses. Tom Boeve spent $733.60 in a failed attempt at gaining a council seat, and reported no contributions.
Coun. Ed Hanoski spent $610.08, eight dollars more than Christine Fraser, who reported a $300 contribution from a Surrey company. Rachael Ganson spent $225.24 and Joe VanTienhoven reported $170 in contributions and $170 in expenses. Carolyn Ferris, Andrew Casson and Todd York each reported no contributions and expenses, though York was late in filing his report, resulting in a $500 fine.

Suspects sought after alleged assault RCMP are pursing two suspects after an alleged assault of a 19-year-old woman in Lake Country. On Wednesday at about 4 p.m., officers received a report of an assault near the Beaver Lake Resort. “Two local men were driving a stolen green Jeep Cherokee when they picked up two female acquaintances,” said Cst. Kris Clark. “The four of them headed out to Beaver Lake Resort where they got stuck. A Lake Kris Clark Country man left to get help and an argument ensued between the remaining man and the two women.” A Kelowna man then allegedly assaulted one of the women before taking off in the stolen Jeep. The 19-year-old victim was knocked unconscious but suffered minor injuries. Her 18-year-old friend was uninjured. Officers, as well as a helicopter and the canine unit, searched the area for the men. “Both men were able to evade police and abandoned the vehicle in a residential area just off Highway 97, south of Beaver Lake Road,” said Clark. Both men are well known to police and a warrant will be sought for their arrest.
A 23-year-old Lake Country man is facing potential charges of failure to comply with probation and possession of stolen property. A 23-year-old Kelowna man is facing possible charges of assault with a weapon, driving while disqualified, possession of stolen property and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the RCMP at 250-766-2288 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

etting it right. The NFL came down hard on the New Orleans Saints Wednesday for its “Payment for Bounties” program, i.e., knock an opponent out of a game, get extra pay for it. The Saints organization was fined $500,000 by Commissioner Roger Goodell and they have to forfeit second-round picks in the 2012 and 2013 drafts. Head coach Sean Payton has been suspendRoger Knox ed without pay for the 2012 season. His former defensive co-ordinator (now with the St. Louis Rams), Gregg Williams, is suspended indefinitely with his status to be reviewed by Goodell at the end of the 2012 season. General manager Mickey Loomis is suspended without pay for the first eight regular season games of 2012. Assistant coach Joe Vitt is suspended without pay for the first six games. The organization and the individuals cited will also participate in efforts to develop programs that will instruct on respect for the game and those who take part in it, the principles of fair play, safety and sportsmanship and ensure bounties will not be part of football at any level. Williams has admitted to and apologized for running the bounty program, which took place between the 2009 to 2011 seasons. According to espn.com, the NFL said payoffs went to 22 to 27 defensive players for inflicting game-ending injuries on targeted opponents which included quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Brett Favre. Payments ranged from $1,000 to $1,500 and doubled or tripled for the playoffs. Payton and Loomis apologized for, and took the blame, for the program, but not until almost a week after the NFL pointed to them for failing to stop it.

Kudos to Goodell for bringing the hammer down on gentlemen who purposely tried to take away the livelihoods of those in the same profession they were involved in. Football is already a violent enough game without the added bonus of deliberately trying to hurt a player. The hope is that the time removed away from the game – some without income – will allow those involved to repent and ensure it never happens again. Then there’s the case of getting it wrong. Really wrong. In Canada, most of the country was talking Tuesday about the sentence handed to known sexual predator, former hockey coach Graham James, or lack of a sentence as most viewed the ruling by Supreme Court judge Catherine Carlson in Winnipeg. James, who was involved in hundreds of sexual assaults on two of his teenage players, retired NHL star Theo Fleury and his cousin, Todd Holt, was sentenced to just two years in prison. Crown had asked for a sentence of at least six years (even that doesn’t seem long enough for the pain James has caused, but Crown lawyers generally look at similar cases and punishments handed out when seeking a jail term). James’ lawyer asked for an 18-month conditional sentence (he had already been in jail once before for sex crimes) and no jail time. Carlson was right when she told the court “there is no sentence it can impose that the victims, and indeed many members of the public (and media), will find satisfactory.” The judge pointed out James expressed remorse (after he was caught), apologized to his victims and experienced what she termed “an extreme degree of humiliation.” Boo hoo. What James did to children, to teenagers is unconscionable. Yes, he’s going to jail, which is a good thing, but I say the maximum the Crown asked for would have been better.
A poll in MoneySense magazine rates Vernon as the following: The 127th best place to live in Canada; the 17th best place to retire; the 175th best place to raise a family; and the 142nd best place for employment. Hmmmm. We scored poorly among the non-retired set mainly because of low employment and wages, and high housing costs. Other factors considered for the polls were walking/biking to work, affordable housing, household and discretionary income, new cars, population growth, crime, doctor availability, the weather, jobless rate and culture. Ottawa was No. 1, top B.C. centre was Saanich (which, by the way, has a correctional facility right in the heart of its neighbourhood) at No. 15, Kamloops was 44th and Salmon Arm cracked the top-70, finishing 61st. Vernon did finish ahead of Okanagan neighbours Penticton (132nd) and Kelowna (144th). Okay, certainly the poll should raise some flags amongst civic leaders. It is true, we can’t compete with the oil and gas sector. We need some industry to bring jobs, and, yes, housing prices and rent are too high. Those are factors that can be worked and improved on. But the appeal of scenic beauty, of living in a year-round recreational playground with a great climate, of close proximity to major centres, of knowing your neighbours, of having a university essentially in the backyard, and of having great schools are factors not listed by MoneySense editors. And they should be. After all, there are 38,150 of us who call Vernon home, which is a six per cent population increase from the 2006 Census. There’s plenty that keeps and brings people here.

HUGE THANKS Brent Worrall and myself Gisela would like to thank sports editor Kevin Mitchell for getting the ball rolling when he did the story on Brent in January regarding the $27,800 bill from the Ontario hospital. Without the media involvement this would never have been resolved. As you've heard by now Ontario has apologized and is taking responsibility for the expense. So thank you and all the wonderful people in Vernon who have supported us and continue to encourage us. Gisela Stieda
Standing with our colleagues
I
am an educator who works in B.C.'s public post-secondary education system. Like thousands of teachers across our province, I am deeply frustrated by the actions of the B.C. Liberals in the current dispute between B.C. teachers and their employers. My deepest frustration is that the B.C. Liberals keep saying that tough times justify tough legislation. They are right about one thing; their legislation to end the teachers' dispute is indeed tough. What is crystal clear is that this legislation will do nothing whatsoever to 'improve education,' nor is it really intended to. Rather, it lays the ground work for more contract-stripping of B.C. teacher collective agreements. Stripping those contracts will only guarantee that future labour relations in the K-12 system will become increasingly dysfunctional and acrimonious, outcomes that put our pub-
lic school system on absolutely the wrong track. The so-called tough times that the B.C. Liberals use to justify this legislation are really just the culmination of a decade of fiscal mismanagement, mismanagement that allowed provincial revenues to suffer so that unwarranted tax cuts could be pushed through. Ten years on, public services in our province are being squeezed even
A RESPONSE This letter is in response to “Teacher open to suggestions” in The Morning Star. I am ignorant of the issues on either side of this situation. Your point that funding has decreased and teachers/students are being asked to do more with less is surely accurate. That has long been the situation for teachers and exists in more industries than education (just take a look at Interior Health). The hoopla surrounding teacher contract negotiations comes up like clockwork every few years, and frankly, I am not much interested. However, you have asked how you could better represent yourself and your message. As you know, you cannot represent yourself at all. Teachers can only be represented collectively by the union, which negotiates with the government. It seems to me teachers are trying to negotiate themselves, through the media, by endeavoring to drum up public sympathy for their situation. What good is public opinion when the public has no say in the negotiations? Is the union not capable of getting your message across to your employer? Are not the teachers themselves making the process more public and humiliating through their protests and demonstrations? My suggestion would be to ensure the union knows your message; let them quietly do their job of negotiating; work to rule; and if all else fails,

more to make up for B.C. Liberal mistakes. Despite consistently exceeding our enrolment targets year after year, my employer (Okanagan College) is presently being forced to consider tuition increases, program reductions and staff layoffs in order to make up for the multi-million dollar funding shortfalls imposed by the most recent provincial budget. The current disgraceful treatment of the teachers by the B.C. Liberals
accept arbitration or strike. If the process is difficult for you personally to bear, you might want to consider giving up the profession you love, and getting a different job - if you can even find one - that is a non-union position. Chances are it will pay significantly less, with fewer (if any) benefits, and provide no job security. You might still find yourself working for an employer that is forced to cut back and do more with less; however you will be in a position to privately represent and negotiate for yourself. If teachers accept arbitration, or decide to strike and be legislated back to work, you could look on the bright side. You will possibly be financially further ahead than if you strike for any length of time. In business school I learned there is a point during a strike after which, if you stay on strike, the financial loss can never be made up, even if you ultimately get your dream settlement. C. Burke CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED I wonder how many people were confused and frustrated after reading “IHA Fined For Not Meeting Surgery Stats” in The Morning Star. The fundamental issue is that the IHA was fined $3.4 million for failing to meet surgery guidelines. I assume the “fine” was taken out of the
is just the most recent and public display of this government's neoliberal contempt for those who provide public services. The only comfort I find in all of this is that voters increasingly share my frustration with the current government and its short-sighted, relentlessly negative vision for the province. The voters, like me, have run out of patience with this government. When the provincial election is called, hopefully, we can organize to run them out of office. In the meantime, the almost 300 members of the Okanagan College Faculty Association will stand side by side in solidarity with our colleagues in the BCTF as they struggle for fair treatment and to maintain their right to free collective bargaining. I would urge your readers to do likewise. Dr. Tim Walters, President, Okanagan College Faculty Association

IHA budget which is $3.4 million that will not be spent on the taxpayers who had no say in how IHA meets its responsibilities. The “fine” should be levied against those who are in charge of managing IHA and not the taxpayers. I am sure that all those in the administration of IHA receive good salaries and if they have failed to meet criteria then their salaries should be reduced to pay the fine. A question related to the fine is where did the money go if it was taken out of the IHA budget? I am sure it would not find its way back to general revenue as this would be difficult for the provincial government to explain. All money moving from one pocket to another is taxpayers money and we deserve to be told where it went. Donna Lommer, chief financial officer was quoted: “We need to do a better job on the prevention side.” I assume that Lommer's priorities would be on economic and financial matters rather than on medical issues. I am sure people don't go out and plan to break a hip or hurt themselves. There are accidents that happen and that's why we have medical facilities to look after people. I for one, would like to see an article written by Eric Foster or the health minister on this issue and what can be done to make sure this “fine” does not happen again. Allan Hooper

Enderby reviews assets RICHARD ROLKE
“Every community is trying to come to grips with aging infrastructure.” Enderby is beginning the long and costly process Phase one with Urban Systems will cost $20,000 of ensuring infrastructure is being maintained. while phase two would be about $45,000. Council agreed Monday to phase one of “The asset management investan asset management strategy proposed by ment plan will provide an interactive a consultant. tool which decision-makers may use “They will do preliminary work and we to understand the long-term impact will have a spread sheet so we know what of existing and alternate development we’re looking at,” said Mayor Howie Cyr of standards,” said Tate Bengston, the city’s the condition of water lines, sewer pipes, deputy chief administrative officer. sidewalks and roads.

Mail ballots proceed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lake Country wants to make it easier for people to vote, even if they’re not in town. Council is proposing changing the date for mail ballot registration from Oct. 1 to Sept. 1 during an election year. “They can vote by mail now but the way it’s stipulated in the legislation, there’s hardly enough turn around time (before the election),” said Mayor James Baker. “This change would give them a longer period.” Non-resident electors and residents who may not be in town for an election have to James Baker register with the district so a ballot is mailed to them. There were some complaints during the 2011 election that residents had insufficient time to return their ballots before the polls closed. “A lot of people are in Arizona or wherever and they want to vote,” said Baker. The goal behind amending the registration date is to make voting more accessible for people who will not be in the community for the election, and Baker says that is important given decreased voter turnout. “We need to try and get them any way we can,” he said. The voting amendment bylaw must still be adopted by council. The next municipal election is in November 2014.

Agricultural changes raise scrutiny JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Efforts to preserve agriculture in Coldstream are harvesting public discussion. The district has proposed land changes which would affect agricultural lots. One of which is increasing the minimum allowable parcel size from two to 10 hectares. Another is restricting the home plate, or amount of agricultural land that can be used for a house, garage, pool, etc., to 3,600 square metres. Such changes drew a crowd of upwards of 50 people at any given time to a recent open house at the municipal hall. “People came with a lot of concerns and some with very valid concerns,” said Mayor Jim Garlick, impressed with the turnout. The district will be taking the concerns, and any others received by the
“People came with a lot of concerns.” — Jim Garlick March 28 deadline, and re-working the proposed changes to better reflect the community. “We’re going to be going back and taking a look at it and seeing how we can make it more pliable,” said Garlick, who would also like to see the agricultural committee resurrected. “Rather than force something through.” While there would be variances, concerns were raised about the home plate, particularly for those that might need to rebuild due to fire, or those wanting to add on to accommodate families. Arguments were also made that
increasing the minimum parcel size would make it harder for people to afford the land if they can’t subdivide. But Garlick maintains that since Coldstream already has a variation in agricultural lot sizes it’s important to maintain the large lots remaining. “In the end what you’re supposed to be doing is enhancing agriculture or benefitting it in some way,” said Garlick, adding that there must also be agricultural land in order for the proposed water separation to be viable. The proposed changes to Coldstream’s agricultural plan also include allowing up to four hens within any residential zone. A new RU30 zone is also proposed to preserve the district’s sloping hillsides down the Coldstream valley. The proposal, and feedback forms, are available at the municipal office as well as online at www.districtofcoldstream.ca under What’s New.

’s North Okanagan B.C.’s Local Lumby raises water, sewer and garbage rates Apple Specialist RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It’s going to cost more for water in Lumby. Council has given three readings to the water rates bylaw for 2012. “We’re trying to get the utility to the point where we can cover depreciation and operation costs,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. The base rate is going from $12 to $12.35 per month, while the consumption rate is increasing from 64 to 66 cents per cubic metre. Coun. Jo Anne Fisher voted against the rates, saying residential customers are subsidizing industrial and commercial users. “They are the largest users of water and there is no incentive for them to reduce their use of water,” she said of non-residential customers.
“There is no incentive for them to reduce their use of water.” — Jo Anne Fisher Fisher says there is a need for the village to identify commercial and industrial users and establish a plan. Council has also given the green light to sewer rates. The base rate will go from $12 to $12.35 a month while the consumption rate is climbing from 40 cents to 41 cents per cubic metre.
Residential garbage is going from $11 to $11.36 per month and recycling is increasing from $1.75 to $1.79 per month. Lumby a hit in Vancouver There appears to be considerable interest in Lumby as a place to call home or visit. The Lu m by Chamber of Commerce
recently attended the Vancouver Outdoor Show. “They gave out more than 500 Lumby pins. They were hot items,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby’s mayor.
Eighty relocation packages were also handed out to people attending the show. The village presently provides the chamber with $10,000 a year, but Acton believes there may be a need to do more as part of economic development. “We need to encourage them and support them. The chamber has really stepped up to the plate,” he said.

News Today’s parents struggle to raise a family CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Canada has become a country where the generation now raising children is finding it far harder than those before them. Lynell Anderson, senior researcher, Human Early Learning Partnership UBC, in her presentation Business and Community Leaders: Does Canada Work for Families?, said many Canadians are not aware of how changes in society have changed families. “The generation raising young children today has less time at home because they need to work longer hours to earn what is essentially the same income as the previous generation. The cost of housing has increased and more mothers are working outside the home, and families are finding it difficult to find and afford quality childcare,” Anderson told the meeting sponsored by the North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition. “If we can address these issues early, we can anticipate significant growth in the economy and well being of our society.” She admitted that it is hard to engage people in the urgency of addressing a vision with benefits that will be seen years into the future. “We also have to see the immediate value of public policy changes for families with young children,” she said. The Human Early Learning Partnership has proposed what it calls A New Deal for Families with Young Children, which suggests that parents need support with more choices about how they will take personal responsibility for home and family. The New Deal is centred on three core policy changes. These are: New Mom and New Dad benefits for the first 18 months of a child’s life, with time and financial benefits available to everyone, including those who are self employed, not employed or otherwise not currently eligible for parental leave. This would include access to a healthy child check-in and parenting support program. When parents return to work, there would be $10 per day childcare so that par-

ents can afford enough employment time to mange the rising cost of housing and stalled household incomes. Caregivers would be well trained and well paid. These policies would be supported by flex-time for employees and employers with adaptations to overtime, employment insurance, and Canada Public Pension premiums regulations. New incentives would decrease the work week and changes to the National Child Benefit Supplement would ensure that any reduction in employment hours would not reduce income in low-earning families. “Governments have reduced seniors’ poverty but despite commitments to work against children’s poverty, not as much has been done,” said Anderson. “The UNICEF 2008 report places Canada at the bottom of the 25 wealthiest countries in family policies. We have to work together
to support each other and the changing realities for young families. Our future is going to be compromised economically and socially if we don’t get involved to retain a healthy, well-trained work force.” Anderson said the New Deal for Families builds on what already exists and is economically sustainable as money spent there would mean less spent on health care and child welfare. It is expected that there would be reductions in crime, and gender equality and pay equity would be promoted. “I hope people will carry on this dialogue and make others aware of the need to change how we support families,” said Anderson.

Mania, the Okanagan Science Centre offers hands-on school programs for students of all ages. At a recent Vernon School District board meeting, OSC executive director Sandi Dixon outlined the centre’s mission and vision. “We envision a centre that is a culture where scientific inquiry, discovery and innova-
tion is embraced by all members of the community,” she said. “We’re lucky because Vernon is the smallest community in Canada to have a science centre.” With programs appealing to all ages in the community, from toddlers to seniors, the OSC is part of the city’s cultural fabric, said Dixon. “We really want to
increase enrolment in secondary and postsecondary science programs and we would like the school district to be part of that. “We’ve had 15 travelling exhibits in eight years, and other centres are amazed at what we do with our limited resources.” Dixon is on a mission to appeal to district teachers to bring their

students to the OSC for field trips. This year, only one school from this district has brought classes to the centre, while 48 have attended from other districts in the area. “Last year, more than 6,000 students visited, and we do what we can to offer free programs and subsidized busing.” Last year, the centre resurrected the science fair and will once again sponsor the North Okanagan/Shuswap Regional Science Fair, April 21 and 22. “We feel we need to have more celebration of science in the community as we do of scholars and athletes.” The OSC receives no core funding, relying instead on earned revenue through admissions and memberships as well as annual fundraisers.

Canadian “Superfood” Gaining International Attention Creator of UMAC Core™
Still Def ying The Odds UMAC-CORE is a unique product created out of an urgent need. In 2004 Tom Harper was diagnosed with a life threatening illness caused by asbestos exposure and given only months to live. He had been raising shellfish at his Research Sea Farm on Vancouver Island, simultaneously perfecting the only method worldwide of growing wild phytoplankton for use in the Aquaculture industry. Based on the wild plankton’s powerful nutritional profile, upon his diagnosis he decided to consume the blend of micronutrients as an energy source he so desperately needed at the time. Every day he ingested the minute ocean plants and every day he felt stronger and experienced less pain. Finally a surgeon performed exploratory surgery. To the doctor’s surprise he was inexplicably able to deliver Mr. Harper a clean bill of health. Six years later, Tom Harper is healthy and, in his words, “feeling totally different. I’m pain free and I’m leading a good, healthy, normal life.” Not long after the product was officially launched in Canada and the U.S.A., the University of Utah completed a randomized full double-blind placebo-control pilot study of UMAC-CORE over a 90 day period with human subjects. Doctors who conducted the studies were impressed with the results and concluded that UMAC-CORE really does help enhance the immune system and support mood fluctuations, quality of sleep, and overall emotional well-being. UMAC-CORE quickly gained far more attention than Harper could have imagined. “People were experiencing really positive shifts in their health,” Harper says. “Our success was consumer driven and we weren’t quite prepared for the demand. There were times when staff would offer to spend the night at the office so that we could get the product out, and they often did!” Today UMAC-CORE is available in over 800 health food stores across Canada, in stores all across the United States and overseas in Australia, New Zealand and Spain. Following the interest and countless testimonials from the public, UMAC-CORE has been written about in dozens of newspapers across North America – and the excitement continues to grow.

Tom Harper—Creator of UMAC Core™ Marine Phytoplankton carefully inspects a sample of newly grown wild Phytoplankton at his Sea farm on Vancouver Island, BC Kim Iles of Choices 4 Wellness – a Retailer in Chatham Ontario says, “I recommend UMAC-CORE to everybody – it’s one of the top two products in our whole store and that’s because people see results! I tell people that if they needed to pick only one thing, then pick UMAC-CORE. It has all the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It’s a complete food and does so many different things in the body that it’s probably the most complete supplement to recommend.”
Also, once the majority of plankton is harvested, the remaining plankton nutrients are returned back to the ocean – 3 to 5 times more than what was originally “borrowed” to commence the bloom cycle; helping to strengthen the base of the ocean’s food chain.
People are even giving it to their pets with remarkable results. In fact, Kim Iles says it’s the results she gets with animals that have convinced her of the product’s efficacy. “It’s not a placebo effect when you give it to your pets. We’ve nursed sick animals back to health with UMAC-CORE. That’s how I judge if a product really works – if you can see results with animals – and we do.”
UMAC Core is available in Liquid and Capsule formulations. For information call Hedley Enterprises at 1-888-292-5660 or to locate a Retailer near you go on-line to: www.umaclife.com
Extraordinary benefits have already been discovered with a product that has only been available for 5 years, with new clinical trials presently underway!
Mr. Harper’s Sea Farm which grows the wild phytoplankton offered in UMAC-CORE is also making a positive impact on the environment. “I consider it one on the greenest companies in the world. Not only are we able to give back to human beings, we are also giving back to the planet.” Unique Sea Farms’ only by-product is pure oxygen! Marine Phytoplankton consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen back into theatmosphere as it blooms in the one million litre outdoor open tanks.

Silvertips seek winning finish Morning Star Staff
Finish strong and hope the leading teams suffer an upset or two down the stretch. That was the game-plan for the host Salmon Arm Silvertips at the B.C. Midget A Female Hockey Championships at the Shaw Centre. The Silvertips, who have 11 players from the Vernon area on their roster, were 1-2-1 going into a Thursday night game against Windermere Valley (3-1). The Tips tangle with the winless Whitehorse Mustangs this afternoon. Vernon’s Summer Jespersen, a speedy centre and co-captain alongside Sarah Botter, says the Tips went all out despite losing 3-0 to the Richmond Ravens Wednesday night. Richmond was leading the seven-team pack at 4-0 going into a Thursday night tilt versus 3-1 Surrey. “It was a good game, it went back and forth all night and they were just better playmakers than us, and we couldn’t get many shots,” said Jespersen. “We have been playing our best hockey of the season. We’re pretty happy with our play and our coach (Shawn Lund) was happy with our effort, determination and discipline.” Jespersen, a 17-year-old Kalamalka soon-to-be grad, said the Tips fell behind 3-0 in the first period and couldn’t recover against the Ravens.
The Tips earlier Wednesday brushed back Kelowna 4-1 in a battle of Okanagan Mainline League rivals. Salmon Arm grabbed a 4-0 lead by the midway point of the first period with Botter scoring from Jespersen at 16:16. Taylor Lund, from Lisa Campeau, made it 2-0 eight minutes later. Hayley Silcocks of Vernon scored the third goal 30 seconds later, from Vernon’s Ali Roine, while Maddison Turner converted a Jespersen feed, 24 seconds later. Kelowna responded with 2:49 left in the second period when Jade Banman clicked from Rachel Lobay. In Tuesday afternoon play, the Tips held a 3-0 lead but had to settle for a 3-3 tie with the Mid-North Island Extreme (0-3-1). Campeau opened the offence, on assists by Taylor Lund and Vernon’s Jenna Lazar, at 14:07. Jespersen upped the Tips’ lead six minutes later on a play involving Hailey Haskell and Botter. Jespersen made it 3-0 with 50 seconds left in the period, from Haskell. Ashlyn Mottershead netted the Extreme’s first goal in the second period, while Dayna Briggs and Scotia Bellavance potted snipes four minutes apart in the third. Windermere Valley iced Whitehorse 7-2, Surrey toppled the Extreme 3-1 and Kelowna rocked Whitehorse 10-1 Wednesday. Richmond shut out Kelowna 4-0 Tuesday.

The Vernon Sladen Moore Lakers ended the B.C. Pee Wee AAA Female Hockey Championships at Minoru Park Arena in Richmond with smiles all around. The Lakers, the only Vernon minor hockey team in a provincial tournament, brushed back the Vancouver Island Royals 5-1 to finish fifth at 2-4 in the seventeam pack. The Royals and Prince George Cougars both went 1-5. “It was disappointing in that we played well enough to win in a couple of earlier losses, but we finished the season off with a win and that was our goal today,” said Lakers’ head coach Arne Head. Andi Kaneda (2), Jenna Fletcher, Makenna Hoffman and Carly Southam handled the Laker offence.
The Surrey Falcons and the North Shore Avalanche met in Thursday’s final. Tuesday’s second game was similar to the first morning game (3-1 loss against Richmond) as the Lakers bowed 6-2 to the Rossland-Trail Wildcats. The Lakers outshot the Wildcats 33-18. The Lakers pressed hard and got an early goal in the second from Fletcher on a nice rush after getting a beauty breakout pass from d-man Makenna Southam. In the third period, Kaneda top-shelved a loose puck off a scramble in front of Wildcat goaltender Sydney Carter, who was picked up from the Kamloops team due to injury. The Lakers kept pressing and had another Kaneda goal disallowed when the puck was in and out so fast it went undetected.

“The girls battled hard and never gave up despite the adversity,” said assistant coach Keith Tucker. “It was an emotional day after playing so well and having not been rewarded for their efforts, and realizing the possibility of playing in the championship game had slipped away. Kaneda and Tylee Cooper shared the team heart and hustle award for the Kootenay game.” The Lakers, however, regrouped for Wednesday morning’s game against the top-ranked Surrey Falcons. Determined to avenge a home tourney final loss to Surrey, the Lakers played another inspired game but lost 2-0. Samantha Head bounced back from a tough game Tuesday with a stellar effort, robbing Falcon sniper Alicia Perez on two breakaways, and was named the Laker heart and hustle recipient.

Chiefs push Vees to surprising fifth Black Press Sports
They are ranked No. 1 in the country, but the Penticton Vees have lost two B.C. Hockey League playoff games to the pesky Chilliwack Chiefs. However, Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson is hardly calling the Hockey Hotline for assistance. The Chiefs brushed back the Vees 3-1 Tuesday night before 1,700 fans at Prospera Centre, tying the firstround, best-of-seven series at 2-2. Game 5 went Thursday night. “They’ve got to win in our building still,” said Harbinson. “We can’t have a feeling that we’re losing the series. Why would we give them the feeling that they are winning the series when it’s 2-2? I’d rather be in our position than Powell River (2-2 with Coquitlam Express). We have had one bad period in the last six.” During Games 3 and 4 in Chilliwack, the Vees fired 41 and 33 shots respectively at Chiefs goalie Mitch Gillam — which Harbinson doesn’t want to see change. In the final period of Tuesday’s game, the coach said they spent the entire time in the Chiefs zone. Harbinson isn’t sure why, but they couldn’t draw a penalty or score more than once. “The only thing I would say is we have to get a little more of almost a football mentality in front of their net,” said Harbinson. “There is a lot of tackling and holding going on. We need to find a way to still get pucks on net.” While Harbinson said Gillam has been good, he knows the rookie is beatable. “We have all the confidence in the world that our guys will find a way to do that again,” he said.
Vees goalie’ Chad Katunar has also posted good numbers with a 1.95 GAA and .916 save percentage. He has faced 95 shots compared to Gillam, who has seen 146. Katunar will continue to see action as starter Michael Garteig’s status is still day-to-day. Special teams were the difference in the first period Tuesday night. Chilliwack had one power play opportunity and made it count, scoring the only goal of the opening frame. It came at 3:58, with Travis St. Denis serving two minutes for tripping. Malcolm Gould pulled the trigger on a sharp-angle shot, roofing the puck over diving defenceman Nick Buchanan and Katunar. Chilliwack d-man Alex PerronFontaine nabbed a loose puck, darted behind the Penticton net and came out the other side with a wrap-around, stuffing the puck into the cage to put the Chiefs up by two. Then, as Mike Reilly stepped out of the box after serving a double minor for high sticking, Gould threw the puck on net from the right corner, and Derek Huisman out-fought a pair of Penticton defenders to punch it past Katunar. The Merritt Centennials finished off the Prince George Spruce Kings in four games with a 3-1 Tuesday night win before 900 fans at the Coliseum. Evan Stack, Chad Brears and Carter Shinkaruk scored for the Cents, who held league-leading pointgetter Paul DeJersey to one series goal. The Surrey Eagles held off the host Cowichan Valley Capitals 7-5 before 1,500 fans Tuesday night at the Island Savings Centre. Surrey took a 3-1 series lead into Thursday night.

Japanese curlers gather Nisei Spiel in Vernon Morning Star Staff
Alberta’s Japanese community started a provincial bonspiel 60 years ago. From there, some of the B.C. curlers started their own 15 years after their Alberta friends gathered to throw stones. The first one, organized by Hiro Mukai, was held in Greenwood (three sheets), using also the ice in Midway (twin-sheet). The curlers would charter a bus to travel to the spiel which would be the beginning of the camaraderie and friendships that are the highlight of the BC Nisei Bonspiel, held last weekend at the Vernon Curling Club. “The bonspiel was a mixed event right from the beginning although teams could curl with only one woman,” said Jan Mori of Vernon. “They decided that the bonspiel should move around the province and over the last few years have settled into a rotation that includes Richmond, Kamloops, Hope, and Vernon/Kelowna. “Hiro Hasabe, who competed in the Vernon spiel this weekend, was also at the first spiel, and did have to miss a few in the middle. Tom Miyahara missed the first one, but has competed in every one since then.” Results of the 45th annual B.C. Nisei Bonspiel (held at the Vernon Curling Club): A Event: won by Kate Horne of Salmon Arm (she played lead for Cathy King (Borst) out of Alberta - 1998 Canadian champion (bronze at the Worlds); also Heather Nedohin on that team). But one might say the real strength of the team

Canadians Erik Chvojka and Vasek Pospisil won their opening matches on Tuesday at the $35,000 ATP Rimouski Challenger tennis event in Quebec. Pospisil, from Vernon, led 3-0 in the opening set when his Belgian opponent, Alexandre Folie, was forced to retire because of a right shoulder injury that hampered him on his serve. Pospisil, the tournament’s second seed and a 2011 semifinalist in Rimouski, will play Germany’s JaanFrederik Brunken in the second round on Friday. Montreal’s Chvojka took on Haydn Lewis, a qualifier from Barbados. He saved all three break points he faced and broke his opponent’s serve once in each set en route to a 6-3, 6-4 victory.
the FIS World Cup this weekend as well in Falun, Sweden and Canada has become a powerhouse on the World Cup circuit.” Meanwhile, Enderby’s Alysson Marshall cracked the all- important top-30 with a 28th in the first stage of the World Cup Cross Country Sprint finals in Sweden last Wednesday, earning her first World Cup points. The one-kilometre event was held up and down the stairs of the King’s Palace and in the streets of Stockholm. Pitted against the top women on the race circuit in her quarterfinal, Marshall, who was nursing a bad cold, failed to progress to the semifinals. The World Cup finals consisted of four stages. Marshall completed the second stage in Falun Sweden, the 2.5-km skate up the infamous “Murder Hill.” She was 49th. Marshall began the third stage, one of her favorite events, the 10-km classic only to withdraw due to the severe effects of her cold. Marshall has had 14 World Cup starts this season with eight starts beginning in March in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland with additional OPA races in Estonia. In November and December, she had six WC starts in Germany and Finland. Prior to winning her first WC points, she has been just one second off the top 30 in three Sprints in her rookie year on the World Cup circuit.

A popular Lake Country park is receiving a significant upgrade. The Beasley Park soccer field will receive $400,000 from the Ministry of Community Development to renovate the community centre and install lighting. “Both the upgraded community centre and soccer fields will be put to great use,” said Norm Letnick, Lake Country MLA. “I know groups like the Norm Letnick Lake Country Youth Soccer Association will be pleased with this project. Bigger isn’t always better, but Beasley Park is about to be both.” The existing facilities are used heavily by various user groups. Extending usage on already built fields by adding lights and renovating the existing facilities are cost effective and practical as opposed to constructing a new facility. Renovation of the Beasley Community Centre will include: ■ New multi-use deck of 1,840 square feet ■ New wood floors of 1,600 square feet ■ Fitness system mounting ■ A toilet room ■ Upgrade interior lighting ■ Relocate sound system ■ Renovate showers and washrooms facilities The upgrade of Beasley field #2 will include: ■ Install field lighting towers ■ Install field lights ■ Landscaping The District of Lake Country will own the project and will be responsible for ongoing operational and maintenance costs once the project is done. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the region to substantially increase the recreation opportunities for people of all ages and abilities,” said Mayor James Baker. James Baker “Physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and helps reduce preventable death and disease. The province, local governments and health authorities are working together to provide opportunities that make it easier for people to make healthier choices, every day.” LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR

Former mayor targets smart meters

The concerns about the installation of new electric metering devices at residences in Lake Country continue to be raised. Known as smart meters, the soon to be installed meters will replace the current analog meters and wirelessly transmit usage data to B.C. Hydro several times
“The power company has no delegated authority from the people.” — Rolly Hein per day. And former Lake Country mayor Rolly Hein is raising his objections. His four main issues are personal consent
to the change, radio frequency energy contamination and two types of privacy issues – the possibility of the devices being hacked or tampered with by

malicious people and B.C. Hydro using smart meter data for unfair billing. In a written statement Hein asserts: “The power company has no delegated authority from the people to install a security risking, privacy invading, health threatening, hackable, unfair billing, or wide power grid security threatening device on anyone’s property.” Hein has attached notices to his own analog meters denying consent for the meters to be replaced. He says the installation of new technology goes against the original service agreement he signed with BC Hydro. “They have no authority to change the agreement,” says Hein. B.C. Hydro’s Cindy Verschoor is the manager of communications for the B.C. Hydro Smart Metering Program. Verschoor explains that B.C. Hydro currently exchanges 45,000 meters per year in the province. “The agreement provides access to read, maintain and exchange meters,” says Verschoor. Electricity is to be supplied “safely and reliably” as Verschoor explains the right to entry for B.C. Hydro is covered under three separate pieces of legislation. Right now if a cus-
tomer does not want a new smart meter installed, Verschoor explains that customer can call B.C. Hydro, have their file flagged and B.C. Hydro will hold off on the exchange until the utility has had the chance to talk to the customer. “We’ve had over 1,800 people initially refuse then accept the smart meter,” she says. Hein describes his experience with raising concerns about installation as “sending an e-mail and then they ignore me because the questions are too hard.” As to questions about the safety, the meters are not CSA approved because the devices are not intended for personal household use. Instead, the meters are safety regulated by the B.C. Electrical Safety Regulations; the Am e r i c a n National Standards Institute; the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and International Electrotechnical Commission. B.C. Hydro says a person would have to stand next to a meter for 20 years to accumulate the equivalent exposure to radio frequency emissions of a 20-minute cell phone call. As to privacy issues, B.C. Hydro insists the meters transmit only encrypted information and do not store that encrypted information. “They (the meters) monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights and domestic security,” Hein argues.

he noise of the teachers’ strike drowned out debate on the B.C. budget so thoroughly that one of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s more controversial ideas only made the news last week. Reporters dubbed it “Welfare Air.” Falcon plans a pilot program to offer social assistance recipients training and airfare if they
can line up a job in B.C.’s northern energy boomtowns. Workers are being imported to fill jobs there, while in Metro Vancouver and elsewhere the number of single employable people applying for social assistance is rising. Much of oil and gas work is dirty and dangerous. These days most industrial jobs involve sophisticated
electronics, and the technical skill level required is high. But there are entry-level jobs going begging, and relatively high pay is offered to fill positions in a shortstaffed service sector in the Peace region. NDP MLA Carole James, no stranger to

northern B.C., dismissed Falcon’s plan as a stunt. There are unemployed people in the region who should be offered training before we Tom Fletcher start flying people up from Vancouver, James said. Yet I repeatedly hear from northern employers that the labour shortage is real and growing. The NDP warns that B.C. faces a future of “people without jobs, and jobs without people.” Mostly they blame the B.C. Liberals for removing apprenticeship programs from union control. I spoke with James about post-secondary needs a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned NDP leader Adrian Dix’s signature policy to restore B.C. student grants, funded by a capital tax on financial institutions. She also agreed that part of the problem is young people taking post-secondary education that leads to fields with poor job prospects. I suggested that if B.C. taxpayers are to increase their subsidy to post-secondary students, already worth about two thirds of their schooling costs, perhaps grants could be targeted to areas of pressing economic need. To my surprise, James agreed that is worth considering. This is significant, not only because it is likely to be unpopular in the education establishment. There is a good chance that James, a former school trustee, will be B.C.’s education minister in 14 months. After writing about the labour shortage last week, I was bombarded with mes-

sages from an irate Vancouver high school teacher who mocked the whole notion as corporate propaganda. No labour shortage exists, globally or in B.C., he claimed. Rather, “capitalists” of the “one per cent” have tried to “vocationalize” public education for a century, but the “people” have always “resisted.” Radical socialists aside, why would matching student aid to employment demand be unpopular with teachers? Education Minister George Abbott offered a clue during the lengthy debate over ending the teachers’ strike. Abbott noted that for every three teachers coming out of B.C. universities, there is currently only one job available. Certainly student debt is an issue worth discussing. And most would agree it’s easier to pay off loans if one can find a job in one’s field upon graduation. Should further subsidies go to soon-to-beunemployed teachers? No. Our education system trains too many people for what they want to do, rather than what the economy needs. And our economy definitely does not need more kids taught Marxist claptrap. Further to that, a tax on banks will be popular with some of today’s students, who protested against capitalism in the “occupy” camps that will resume as the weather improves. Others will examine the idea and conclude that financial institutions will recover the tax from customers, and perhaps find ways to get the job done with fewer employees.

Nicola Cavendish brings her iconic portrayal of Shirley Valentine to Vernon KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
“Hello, wall.� It’s been more than two decades since Nicola Cavendish first uttered those two words. And no, she wasn’t talking to herself, exactly, but to thousands of people in theatres across Canada as her alter ego Shirley Valentine. The Okanagan-raised actress has played the lonely British housewife, who rediscovers her mojo when she takes a trip to Greece, more times than she can count. And it’s with a heavy heart, and a sigh of relief, that Cavendish is hanging up Shirley’s apron for a few final performances. She just wrapped up two runs of the play in Winnipeg and Calgary, and comes to Vernon for two special “words only� performances, March 31 and April 1, in support of Powerhouse Theatre. “What I’ve come to realize in my professional life, at least part of it, is the importance of payback and paying it forward. Good things come, and it takes so little to give so much. Shirley has been a bit more of an extension of that,� said Cavendish over the phone from Calgary, where she was getting ready to deliver her upteempth performance. Cavendish’s performance of Shirley Valentine in Vernon is one way for her to give back –– it’s a return to her roots, literally and figuratively. Born in England, Cavendish moved with her family to Canada when she was five years old. Between 1957 and 1961, the family moved across the country until they ended up in Vancouver, where her mother attended university. It was after arriving in B.C. that
BARBARA ZIMONICK
Nicola Cavendish drinks to the character of Shirley Valentine, whom the actress has portrayed since 1990. Cavendish gives a benefit performance of the one-woman play at Powerhouse Theatre March 31 and April 1. her father discovered the Okanagan, moving the family to Penticton, where Cavendish attended high school, and started appearing in drama productions. “I had heard about Powerhouse Theatre back when I was 16, mostly due to (late founding Powerhouse member) Paddy Malcolm English,� said Cavendish. It was Powerhouse director Dave Sayer who connected with Cavendish before staging her play, It’s Snowing on Saltspring, at the Vernon community theatre this past December. “My father, who is 87 now, and my sister came to see the show at Powerhouse. I was thrilled they staged it. Saltspring makes people happy. It reminds people not to judge and to be a kid, with the idea
of the life ahead that comes at the end of the play,� she said. This next show at Powerhouse will be a way for Okanagan audiences to say goodbye to Cavendish’s staging of an iconic character.
Pauline Collins in the British version, Cavendish says Shirley has universal appeal and, in some cases, has served to open a few gents’ eyes to a woman’s needs and desires. “Shirley is accessible to audiences in that she speaks to many women, but her experience also speaks to men in a generous way in that they get crisp insight on how women think,� said Cavendish. “I’ve had men come up to me after and say thank you. (Shirley) reaches into the hearts of people, and shows that it feels good to feel. I think the theatre must effect people to rise to that challenge.� After 22 years of playing Shirley, Cavendish says she wants to leave while the party is still on.
“Shirley is accessible to audiences in that she speaks to many women, but her experience also speaks to men in a generous way in that they get crisp insight on how women think.� — Nicola Cavendish Written by former hairdresser Willy Russell, the story extends from being an ‘80s feminist take of a woman who decides to throw away her old life for new horizons. Captured on film and stage by
SECTION
arts B !CTRESS BIDS ADIEU TO AN OLD FRIEND “Shirley is a mountain,� said Cavendish. “When you’re doing two shows a night, talking, feeling, emoting, laughing, and making the audience laugh, it can be rather exhausting. There’s also the time frame. I have to cook a meal (the famed chips and egg scene Shirley makes for her “invisible� husband for his tea), so I can’t get behind or let my mind stray. I have to remember what I just said.� Then there’s the stamina needed to play a woman almost 20 years her junior, although listening to Cavendish, energy doesn’t seem to be a problem. She has boundless amounts for a woman about to turn 60, and who only last year, suffered a brain hemorrhage and the devastating loss of her husband. “I am fearful for my brain, and don’t want to tax myself. It takes at least two years to heal from a hemorrhage,� she said. “But I think I have evolved even deeper.

(Although Cavendish hints she would consider returning to the stage as Shirley if ever approached by a medical group to do a fundraiser.) In this case, she is helping Vernon’s community theatre, which is an all volunteer-based organization, raise funds so they can continue to bring theatre to the area. “I know how hard it is for a community theatre, and I hope the community knows how important it is,� said Cavendish. “I think they have risen above, and with that I wanted to come to Vernon... for respect.� Powerhouse Theatre welcomes Cavendish to the stage March 31 at 8 p.m. and April 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 (all seats) at the Ticket Seller box office in the Performing Arts Centre.

The story of when that great ship went down Local musician commemorates the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It was a century ago that one of the grandest
steam liners built at the time set off on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic from the U.K.
to New York –– until it was stopped by one very big iceberg far off the coast of Newfoundland. For those who have seen the movie, or have read the history books, the sinking of the RMS Titanic is, arguably, the most famous maritime disaster of all time. More than 1,500 passengers perished when the ship went down over the course of April 14 and 15, 1912. “If you look at a floating ice cube, it sits 90 per cent below the waterline. The same proportion holds with icebergs of all sizes, and one of them sank the Titanic,” said Arne Sahlen, a local pianist and music instructor, who describes himself as a social historian. To mark next month’s 100th anniversary of the tragic event, Sahlen is presenting Titanic – Fact, Falsehoods and Fantasies with music, video, displays and more, Sunday at the CentreStage in Vernon.

Some of the few survivors of the Titanic, above. Arne Sahlen, below, delivers a talk and musical performance to mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster.
Arne Sahlen “The Titanic’s captain and other experts accepted visual iceberg-watch as safe –– this while speeding along in known iceberg lanes and with woefully few lifeboats, allowed by law back then,” said Sahlen who has gathered a large selection of
documentary materials and even music to mark the Titanic anniversary, and says the public horror and fascination with the disaster lives on today. “This dramatic story includes human, social and cultural history, Titanic science, meaning for the world today, the Titanic in the media, and much more,” he said. The impact of the Titanic’s sinking was felt far and wide to the present and beyond, added Sahlen. “Even the province of British Columbia, thousands of miles away, was directly and permanently affected.”
Sahlen, who was born in Prince Rupert, refers to American-born businessman Charles Melville Hays, who went down with the ship. As the general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, Hays is considered the founder of Prince Rupert as it was he who set up the railway’s western terminus on B.C’s central coast, where the port city eventually evolved. “His contributions are recognized to this day in Prince Rupert with a school, mountain, creek and much more named in his honour,” said Sahlen, adding, “Our province would likely have grown much dif-
ferently but for him.” Along with information on Hays, Sahlen has also collected music resulting from the Titanic story, and says like so many disasters, the tragedy showed the best and worst in people even in the music sector. Even the song, Wreck of the Titanic, which Sahlen owns a copy of, was rushed out soon after the sinking to market on the disaster. However, the musicians who were on board the ship showed unwavering courage and strength. “The ship’s musicians took no care for their own safety. They played as long as they could, on an ever-more-tilting ship, to calm and console others. They all died in the sinking,” said Sahlen. Along with his presentation of the Titanic, Sahlen will play a short program of ragtime, classical, jazz and other music to launch his CD, Piano Soul and Spirit. Sunday’s Titanic – Fact, Falsehoods and Fantasies at the CentreStage, 2913-29th Ave. behind the Vernon Towne Theatre (in the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living) starts at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation to the Cambodia Support Group.

As Meatloaf is a mouthpiece for songwriters, he’s a frontman par excellence. But his duets only rise to past glories on the unsubtle Stand in the Storm with Trace Adkins, Lil John and Mark McGrath. It strives to be epic but achieves grandstanding and big bluntness – so things are as they should be on a Meatloaf recording. But the epic is achieved on Blue Sky and Fall from Grace. Like the original rockers of old, Meatloaf is all about the true blue bluster and drama. Hell in a Handbasket isn’t a happy album but an entertainingly indignant blast from a king of bombast.

Linda Derks, with Autumn, in a field of steel sun flowers made by her husband Roland Derks for Shoparama March 31 and April 1.
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Roland Derks puts the finishing touches to a piece of metal art at his Lake Country studio.
Crafting metal into art CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Linda Derks still has the first flowers her husband ever gave her. Roland Derks, a welder, was working in a camp and looking for something to do in his spare time so he tried making some metal flowers. Then the couple got busy with family, Roland working in the oil and gas industry and Linda owning home decor stores in Calgary. When they moved to Lake Country four years ago, they were ready for a change. They brought together Linda’s love of meeting people and sales and Roland’s plans to use his welding experience for art. The result is Middlebench Metalworks, an art studio filled with handcrafted metal art for indoors and outdoors. The work is sold at Vernon and Kelowna farmers’ markets and selected art and craft shows. Roland starts with plain steel sheet metal, metal rods and sometimes a piece of wood or rock, and is inspired from there. “Every piece is different. I cut the metal, shape it, hammer it, treat it with heat. And it will rust and change over the years. I’m always getting more ideas. Now, I’m interested in kinetic art — people particularly like pieces that move for the garden,” he said.
CARA BRADY/MORNING STAR
Roland Derks’ metal quail are one of his most popular hand-crafted items. Linda also comes up with ideas. “People like our work with a wine theme. We also like doing designs based on the local wild life and plants. The quail and chicks are one of our best sellers. We might be doing more with the fruit of the Okanagan,” she said. Their yard is a showplace for their work — metal trellis, sundials, an eagle overhead, flowers blooming through a late snowfall. Inside pieces include bookends, wine racks and wall art. A personal favourite, a family of owls, keeps watch in the living room. There are plans to do more

larger pieces, including animals like bear and deer, and gates and fences. Fish are a common theme in pieces of all sizes. “This kind of art has given me a finer appreciation for nature and nature photography. Living here, we feel more in tune with nature and we have slowed down,” said Roland. “We like to hear how people are using the pieces in their homes and gardens and it’s great see them out in yards when we are driving around. Some pieces are in the Lake Country Art Gallery and we know a lot of them go out of the province. There’s a piece at a hotel in Northern Manitoba.” Middlebench Metal Works will be at its first Shoparama Spring Market this year with the new tomato trellis, the popular sunflowers and pansies, tulips and tiger lilies, as well as the animal, wine and other theme pieces. The Shoparama Spring Market has crafters, artists, entrepreneurs, home-based businesses, baking, entertainment, things for kids, door prizes and a concession. The market takes place March 31 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and April 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre (3310-37th Ave., Vernon). Admission is free but people are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank.

Creating healthy environments for kids SUE ROSSI Special to The Morning Star
Toxic substances are common in our environment, both indoors and out. Harmful chemicals that stick to dust, fumes from cleaning and renovation products, chemicals in plastics, mercury in fish — all of these can have serious impacts on the health of children. The good news is that parents can take some simple steps — beyond what they already do — to reduce risk in the home. Children are at greater risk than adults because their natural defenses are not fully developed. Babies and toddlers also explore the world with their hands and mouths, which exposes them to more harmful substances. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Chemicals in dust and cleaning products or mercury in fish may not make your children look or feel sick. But exposure to small amounts of toxic substances can have long-term often subtle effects on the developing brain, lungs and reproductive systems of a fetus or young child. Scientists still don’t understand all of these effects. However, when it comes to children’s health, it is better to be safe than sorry. Small amounts of harmful substances can add up. But so can your efforts to reduce everyday exposures. Here are some easy tips that can make an immediate impact, with simple actions and without spending a lot of money. Bust that dust – Clean with a good vacuum or simply a damp cloth or wet mop and take your shoes off at the door. Go green when you clean – Use nontoxic cleaning products and choose not to use air “fresheners” and fragrances.

Tiffany Wilson and her daughters, Emily and Kara, take part in the recent Clean and Green Workshop at the Snc’c’amala?tn Early Childhood Education Centre, which is sponsoring the workshops on child health and environment. Renovate right – Choose less toxic paints and glues, control and contain the dust and if you are pregnant try to avoid being exposed to potentially harmful substances. Get drastic with plastic – Don’t use plastic containers or plastic wrap in the microwave, whenever possible reduce exposure to foods in cans with BPA linings and avoid plastics that contain PVC; especially in teething toys and bath toys. Dish safer fish – Choose varieties that are low in mercury and if you are eating canned fish, look for “light” rather than “white” tuna varieties. Sue Rossi has been delivering local work-

Martial art has stood the test of time Morning Star Staff
It got its start in feudal Japan around 1600, but with practitioners around the world, Iaido is still going strong. Iaido is the traditional Japanese martial art of drawing and cutting with the samurai sword. The purpose of Iaido is to develop awareness, centeredness, sincerity, a calm mind, and mental and physical harmony through the practice of traditional sword techniques. It is the Japanese martial art that is most closely associated with the samurai class and Japanese nobility. It is not considered a sport, but rather an ancient traditional art for the development of mind, body, and spirit. Well-known local musician Manfred Harter is also an avid practitioner of Iaido
Daniel 7:27: “And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints (qoddiyah: holy ones) of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and all dominions shall serve and obey him.” This relates to the approved (by Christ) believers who are faithful to the end and counted worthy to inherit the Kingdom of God on earth. Rev. 19:8: “for the Àne linen is the righteousness of the saints.”
and this weekend, he is looking forward to a workshop in Vernon that brings together a variety of instructors. “The visiting instructors are 6th Dan Peter Gunstone from Parksville and the Naniamo Iaido Club,” said Harter. “With him is our own favourite Japanese instructor, Hiro Inoue, who looks after the Vancouver stable of sword swingers. We are in our second year since the passing of Bill Lewis and it is high time that I am being tweaked and forced into proper conduct, along with the small number of practitioners. “Also visiting from Kelowna is Peter Falvo, who has been active with Iaido for a number of years and we are now fluctuating between five and seven Iaido practitio-
ners in this area.” The workshop takes place Saturday at Kal Fitness, #15-Kal Lake Rd., at 3 p.m. The public is welcome to watch the practice of Iaido at no charge. “We are very grateful to Rick Mclaughlin at Kal Fitness for letting us use his nice hardwood floor with mirrors.” The Canadian Iaido Association (CIA) was established in consultation with the All-Japan Iaido Federation for the purpose of administering Dan examinations and to promote Iaido in Canada. The CIA was accepted as a registered society in 1993. For more information, please call Harter at 250-549-1260 or visit the CIA website at www.iaido.ca.

children have accepted us, and Marie encourages me to remain civil with my ex in order to co-parent effectively. Here’s my dilemma: When visiting my home, she saw a framed collage of pictures in my entrance hallway, some of which include my ex-wife and me. She calls it a “shrine.� I see it as pictures on the wall. My youngest son, now 14, likes this picture. Marie gave me an ultimatum, adding, “If he likes it so much, put it in his room.� I feel she is being unreasonable. I truly love Marie, but now I wonder whether I am trading one controlling partner for a new one. We have nearly broken up over this. — Perplexed Dear Perplexed: It’s quite presumptuous for a girlfriend to dictate what pictures you can have in your hallway, especially when your son still lives with you and removing the collage would bother him. Unless you have a large portrait of your ex hanging in the living room, it’s not Marie’s business. Tread cautiously.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) In your own unpretentious but bold way, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get far more done than those who strut and boast about their big intentions. Tenacity is your secret strength. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One of your best means for achieving success is your ability to see positive elements in all situations, regardless of the negatives involved. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to put this quality to good use. CANCER (June 21-July 22) In order to accomplish your aims, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be far more assertive than usual. Fortunately, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll instinctively know how much pressure to apply without looking pushy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to have exceptionally strong opinions, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be bashful about expressing them either. Woe betide those who try to stand up and oppose your views. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Although youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in an excellent cycle as regards earning capacity, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so when it comes to handling your funds. Take care not to spend everything all at once. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Your strong inner resolve could make you more overpowering than you intend when dealing with others. Guard against inclinations to dominate everything and everybody. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Unless you use your time industriously and productively, your feelings of self-worth will be greatly diminished.
Make sure that whatever you engage in has purpose and value. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If your social life has been exceptionally boring lately, it may be time to look for new playgrounds as well as new playmates. A change would do you good, as the song says. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unhappy, you tend to take it out on your loved ones, who accept your rude behavior with little consequence to you. However, think about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing to them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you find your usual activities to be a bit boring, seek some close pals who are stimulating thinkers. Using your mind can be more exciting than engaging in physical activities. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Temporarily shelve mundane activities and make this a profitable day by seeking out objectives that are of a financial or material nature. You could do quite well for yourself.

“I’m too big for a car seat!” Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THERE ARE WAYS TO GET TO NINE George Bernard Shaw, playwright and Nobel Prize winner, said, “Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does.” How should South manage his affairs in this three-no-trump contract after West leads his fourthhighest heart? Declarer starts with only four top tricks: two spades, one heart (given the lead) and one club. He must work on both minors. It looks tempting to win the first trick on the board and take a club finesse. Here, though, West wins the trick and establishes his heart suit. And when he gets in with the diamond ace, he
cashes out for down one. Even if South gets four club tricks, he needs a diamond winner, too. He should take trick one in his hand and lead a low diamond. If West wins with his ace and plays another heart, declarer has nine tricks: two spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. If West ducks his diamond ace, South must resist the temptation to return to his hand with a spade. If he does that, East should signal with his jack. Then West wins the second diamond and returns a spade, establishing East’s suit. Declarer has only eight tricks. After getting one diamond in the bank, South should take a club finesse. If West perseveres with
hearts, declarer gets into the dummy again and repeats the club finesse. Or, if West shifts to a spade, South plays a second diamond to establish that suit. By the way, while researching the quotation, I was surprised to learn that Shaw was also a co-founder of the London School of Economics.

Those looking forward to the reopening of the Penticton Public Library on Sundays will have to wait until the new year, however, the service will then operate from January through April. For the last 20 years the facility had been offering limited Sunday openings, withdrawing the service only in the warmer months. However this year, dealing with rising costs and a budget frozen by city council at the 2009 amount of $934,719, the to library’s governing board decided not an resume Sunday operation in October in of attempt to make up a budget shortfall around $4,000. Library board chair Al Kidd pointed out that in 2010 the board was forced to create $22,000 in saving in order to meet the stagto expect they 2011 in that and nant budget find an additional $31,000 in savings. “We have agonized over the Sunday decision for some time and we just can’t change the way the reality is. There is no money and we have no money for next year,” said Kidd. “We felt that Sunday closure had the least service core our on and affect on our clientele no ... So, that is what we went with. We had alternative, we felt.” It was a decision that some on council questioned, particularly Coun. John Vassilaki, who pushed a motion, eventually approved Nov. 1, that the city come up with an addion tional $2,500 to keep the facility open Sundays until 2011. night, Monday council before Speaking Kidd proposed an alternate utilization for the money. “What we would like to do, with your OK, is to take that ($2,500), add $2,700 ourin selves and open Sunday service starting January,” he said.
