Murder suspect appears in court KATHY MICHAELS AND ROGER KNOX Black Press

Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, made his first court appearance Tuesday in Kelowna in connection with the death of an Armstrong teenager.
The man charged with the Halloween slaying of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest made his first court appearance Tuesday morning. Matthew Stephen Foerster, 26, appeared calm during a brief showing in the Kelowna courtroom, despite the substantial series of charges being read to him. In addition to second degree murder in connection with the Van Diest homicide, Foerster faces charges stemming from an alleged attack at a Kelowna escort agency April 12, 2005 and an alleged Cherryville home invasion Oct. 19, 2004. The former earned him charges of sexual assault with a weapon and unlawful confinement. The latter amounted to charges of break and enter, having face masked during a crime, assault causing bodily harm and unlawful confinement. Foerster’s currently being held in Kelowna cells, but will soon be transferred to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. From there he’ll return to court trial video link, for a May 10 court appearance. Foerster was arrested in Collingwood, Ont., last week after an exhaustive investigation into the murder of the Armstrong teen, who was found Oct. 31, 2011 fatally wounded on railway tracks near her home by friends and family. The first break in the case police shared with the public came when DNA from that scene was linked to an earlier crime at the Kelowna escort agency, and a composite drawing of the suspect was released.
Foerster’s father, Stephen Roy Foerster, 58, of Cherryville, has been charged with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to murder in connection with Van Diest’s death. He was arrested in his residence last Wednesday and will appear in a Vernon courtroom today. News of the arrests hit the small community of Cherryville hard. “This is terrible what has happened,” said Eugene Foisy, regional district director for Cherryville. “It’s shocking for our community, we’re just a small community, less than 1,000 people and everybody knows everybody. I’m sure it’s the same in Armstrong, and that just makes it hit all that harder. There’s good and bad in every community. My sympathy goes out to the Van Diest family and to the Armstrong community.” Police meanwhile continue to try and establish a timeline on the day and night of Van Diest’s murder, Oct. 31, 2011. “We would like to hear from anyone who has not already spoken to investigators that now may have information about any contact they had with him on Halloween night,” said Insp. Brendan Fitzpatrick, operations officer for the B.C. RCMP’s major crime section. “We would like to hear from any other witnesses who may have information regarding that night.” Police also want to establish a timeline of Foerster’s travels and activities from Dec. 2011 to the end of March 2012. Fitzpatrick asks that anybody that has information to share should call the dedicated tip line at 1-888-6884264.
City challenges Supreme Court decision on bylaw RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon taxpayers could be on the hook for almost $3 million. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled Oct. 6, 2011 that the city’s latecomer bylaw is invalid and Okanagan Land Development Corp, which built the Outback resort, is entitled to $2.8 million for installing a sewer line. “They have not complied with their obligation to the developer,” said Reinhard Burke, a Kamloops lawyer representing Okanagan Land Development. Okanagan Land began construction of the Outback in 2004 and while the developer proposed treating sewage on site, the city insisted that a sewer main be extended along Eastside Road. The size of the sewer line was based on the city’s projections for future growth in that area over 20 years. The city took over
“That’s the primary nature of the appeal.” — Dale Rintoul title of the main in 2007. Where the problem arose, says Burke, is the city should have charged a fee to all 53 benefitting properties along the sewer route, whether they connect to the line or not, so his client could be reimbursed his costs. Instead, the city’s bylaw calls for payment towards the developer when someone connects to sewer. “There is no valid bylaw so he hasn’t seen a nickel,” said Burke.
Burke says his client always expected he would recover the majority of the costs for the line. “When Vernon made my client build this line, the city identified properties that could be developed in the future. Within a year, they changed the official community plan so none of the hillside lands could be developed.” The total cost of the sewer line was $3 million and $2.8 million reflects the portion not required by the Outback for its own use. The city is appealing the October ruling and both sides will appear in Vancouver court May 7. “The city in the past has not pre-charged people (for services they may access),” said Dale Rintoul, a planner. “We wait until there is a building permit or subdivision permit application and the
ability to use the service.” Among the city’s concerns is the financial formula referenced in the October ruling. “That’s the primary nature of the appeal,” said Rintoul. If the appeal is denied, the city’s options for restitution are covering the payment itself or enacting a new latecomer bylaw for impacted properties. The Municipal Insurance Agency, which provides local governments with insurance, is monitoring the situation. “They see a possible impact on other jurisdictions,” said Rintoul. “Our bylaw is no different than many other communities.” Coun. Bob Spiers admits he is aware of the case but he would not get into specifics. “Council is briefed on all legal matters from time to time,” he said.

A firefighter hoses down smouldering hay bales on Shuswap Falls Drive in Lumby Monday evening. The fire started from a controlled burn which spread to approximately 75 large round hay bales. It was one of three grass fires in the rural Lumby area over the Easter weekend. tending to what we called the haystack fire, we got a call of another grass fire.� Crews managed to contain the Highway 6 fire from spreading to an industrial building and approximately 100 bales of hay. “That one ended up being an acre to an acre and a half grass fire.�
A cause of that blaze is unknown as the property owner was not on scene. Two more grass fires were also reported in the Cherryville area Saturday, which is out of the Lumby Fire Department’s boundary. The weekend events are a reminder to homeowners to take every precaution.

Lumby firefighters were maxed out trying to spread resources on three grass fires over the Easter weekend. The first grass fire broke out on Kerby Road Sunday at approximately 12:40 p.m. “That one was relatively minor,� said Lumby Fire Chief Tony Clayton. Monday proved to be a busy day for firefighters, who responded to two grass fires within a little more than an hour of each other. “We were maxed out for resources,� said Clayton, adding that Coldstream and Lavington firefighters were called in to assist. The first Easter Monday fire broke out on Shuswap Falls Drive shortly before 6 p.m. and ended up destroying 75 large round bales of hay. “They were burning some weeds and grass and then the wind came up and it got away on them and it got into some hay bales,� said Clayton, estimating each hay bail to be worth approximately $50 each. Crews were on scene until 7 a.m. Tuesday morning ensuring the fire was out. “We had to bring in an excavator to tear the bales apart.� While on scene at the Shuswap Falls fire, a third grass fire broke out approximately five kilometres east of Lumby on Highway 6. “Right around 7 p.m. (Monday) night, while we were
Vernon politicians have joined the chorus calling for marijuana laws to be scrapped. Council voted Tuesday to ask the federal government to regulate cannabis as a way of reducing crime, rationalizing police resources and creating a new source of revenue for communities. “Prohibition and criminalization hasn’t worked. This is a possibility of a new approach,� said Coun. Bob Spiers. Mayor Rob Sawatzky also supports legalizing access to marijuana. “Most well-informed people who have studied the issue have determined prohibition is a failed policy,� he said. A retired physician, Sawatzky believes decriminalization could lead to better ways of handling addiction. “Drinking is more open (because it’s legal) and you can deal with alcoholics. It’s difficult to deal with criminals,� he said of treatment programs. Opposition came from Coun. Brian Quiring. “I can’t ever support the legalization of marijuana. I’ve seen what it does,� he said. Quiring says he understands the argument that legalizing marijuana may reduce crime and gang activities, but he still doesn’t believe that route should be followed. “It’s not good for the community,� he said. The city’s actions come after a presentation from Stop the Violence B.C.

It wasn’t the best place to stop for a bathroom break. And that was just the beginning of issues for a Vernon man Sunday morning. Vernon RCMP officers, conducting downtown patrols near 29th Street and 29th Avenue Sunday at 1:15 a.m., noticed a man urinating beside a parked
vehicle. “As the officers stopped to talk to the man, they noticed two lines of white powder and a wallet on the hood of the car the man was urinating beside,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The 21-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine and being drunk in public.
While conducting a search of the man, officers also found a small quantity of marijuana, then, while preparing to book the man into RCMP cells for an overnight stay, police found a small quantity of cocaine on the man. The suspect was released from cells the following morning on a promise to appear in court to face a charge of possession of cocaine.

Ashton faces two counts of perjury ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Deborah Ashton’s legal matters are not over. The former Vernon teacher and vice-principal, acquitted last month on five charges of allegedly having a sexual relationship with a former student, will go to trial in Vernon Provincial Court on two counts of perjury. A preliminary inquiry held on the
matter in Vernon Provincial Court April 5 found enough evidence to warrant a trial. A date for the trial has yet to be set. Ashton, 47, is accused of perjury based on her testimony in the first of two trials on the alleged relationship. The first trial, in February 2011, resulted in a hung jury. Supreme Court judge Alison Beames found Ashton not guilty on five counts last Deborah Ashton month.

“We’re trying to get the province onside.” — Rick Fairbairn ince. “We’re going to give it more time for interest to come back. There has been some legitimate response coming in,” said Fairbairn. Phase one of the study suggested several individual annexations into a municipality have a cumulative negative
impact on the electoral area that has lost land. A key concern is the electoral area has a reduced tax base and the ability to provide services. It’s also been suggested development on land annexed into a municipality can conflict with rural uses,
while an electoral area has a reduced voice at the Regional District of North Okanagan. RDNO could also use development services reserves for the phase two study, and Fairbairn believes local municipalities could also contribute. “By annexing properties, there is a cost for them,” said Fairbairn of municipalities being responsible for services like roads and sewer. RDNO staff has encouraged the EAAC directors to consider
a variety of funding options. “The electoral area annexation impact study is a unique project and does not meet the criteria of most planning grants that are available,” said Anthony Kittel, regional growth strategy co-ordinator, in a report. “Therefore, external sources of funding are limited and therefore direct petition for funding at the regional district or provincial government level is recommended.”

Efforts are underway to ensure Cherryville residents have clean water coming out of the tap. A total of $20,400 over three years will be spent on Cherryville’s water quality program after a decision by the Electoral Area Advisory Committee of the Regional District of the North Okanagan. “It’s really important,” said director Eugene Foisy. “This way we can keep a close eye on conditions. The quality is in good shape but we want to keep it that way.” Among the potential sources of pollution are logging, recreational activities and grazing cattle. “We have found some hot spots where we want to keep checking,” said Foisy. The program is conducted through volunteer water stewards with the Cherry Ridge Management group. The funding — which comes from federal gas
tax revenue — will go towards scientific testing as well as covering mileage accrued by the volunteers. Monitoring began three years ago and the stewards have established a water quality baseline. “The environmental protection division of the Ministry of Environment will continue to support the monitoring activities conducted by the land and water stewards in the Cherryville area,” said Anna Page, RDNO sustainability co-ordinator, in a report. “With increased development pressures, such as logging in the upper watersheds, this monitoring is an important baseline to water quality in an area that has received little study to date.” Foisy says water quality testing in his community has ramifications for a broad range of the province as it drains into the Shuswap and Fraser systems. “If we pollute it up here, it makes its way down.” Final approval for the $20,400 is still required from the RDNO board.

An 18-year-old Vernon driver caught travelling more than double the posted speed limit on a local road had his vehicle impounded. A Vernon RCMP general duty officer had just finished writing a ticket on another vehicle shortly before 1 p.m. on Commonage Road Saturday when he noticed a 2005 Honda Civic travelling at a high rate of speed. “The officer checked the speed with a radar unit and confirmed the vehicle to be travelling in excess of 130 km/hour, which is more than double the posted speed limit of 60 km/hour,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The officer stopped the Honda and issued the driver a $483 ticket for excessive speed, and the young man’s car was impounded for seven days. The driver could be facing further problems as the incident occurred while he was operating the vehicle under a probationary (N) licence.

RDNO adds agriculture group RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A blueprint for addressing agricultural issues is being hammered out. Terms of reference have been established for a new agricultural advisory committee at the Regional District of North Okanagan. “Everyone is yelling about the need for economic development but agriculture puts $100 million into the North Okanagan (annually),” said director Mike Macnabb. “It’s a sleeper. People don’t Mike Macnabb realize how significant it is.” The committee will provide recommendations to the RDNO board on land use applications, plans or policies that impact agricultural operations. It will also advise on agricultural and food system issues and review specific development proposals from an agricultural perspective. The committee could also lend its support to value-added initiatives. “There is an indication that Okanagan College is

looking at agricultural courses,” said Macnabb. “If we can bring it into focus, we can encourage people to go into agriculture as a business.” The committee will also play a role in ensuring public access to locally grown food continues. Members of the committee will be appointed by RDNO. “It will include people with an agricultural background and some political people,” said Macnabb. Macnabb wants to ensure the committee is action oriented and not just adding another layer of bureaucracy. “This has to be something that’s appropriate and timely,” he said. The North Okanagan contains 39 per cent of all Agricultural land Reserve properties in the valley. “Although nine per cent, or about 70,000 hectares, of the regional district is within the ALR, most of these lands are located in the valley bottoms where development pressure is greatest,” said Anthony Kittel, regional growth strategy coordinator, in a report. “Since 1974, we have lost more than 6.3 per cent, almost 6,000 hectares, of our ALR lands.” The committee’s terms of reference must still be approved by the RDNO board.

A Lower Mainland man speeding on Westside Road ended up with more trouble. A Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP rural officer was conducting patrols on Westside Road at about 2:45 p.m. April 3 when he came upon a green Dodge pickup speeding northbound. “The officer confirmed with radar the driver was going 82 km/hour in a 60 km/hour zone,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The officer stopped the truck and spoke to the driver, issuing him a speeding ticket.

As he was doing that, the officer noticed a strong odour of marijuana coming from the truck, so he placed the driver under arrest for possession of a controlled substance, and conducted a search of the pickup. “The search turned up 26 marijuana plants, each about two feet tall, and about 100 marijuana clones, about seven inches tall,” said Molendyk. “They were all discovered on the rear seat covered by a blanket.” The driver, a 46-year-old man from Maple Ridge, was taken into custody, then released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

Let’s be consistent
T
he Funtastic Summer Festival is a major draw for the region, bringing in thousands of slowpitch players. But that doesn’t cut any slack with the politicians. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee unanimously decided last week not to provide Funtastic with a grant to offset facility fees. Not a word was said, just a bunch of hands going up in the air before tackling the next item on the agenda. A request for a grant was made because GVAC’s fees bylaw doesn’t have a mechanism for simply waiving the cost of renting fields or other facilities. But while there may be a policy, it has certainly been flaunted regularly. As an example, GVAC waived the $938 rental fee when the North Okanagan Hospice Society used the Vernon Recreation Richard Rolke Complex for its Dancing with the Vernon Stars fundraiser last fall. This move came despite opposition from staff, who pointed out that similar requests from other non-profits will arise. “They are all worthwhile groups. Once you say yes to one group, how do you say no to another group?” said Trafford Hall, Regional District of North Okanagan administrator. Hall also rightly pointed out that there is a cost to operating facilities and if the rent is waived, that cost is absorbed by taxpayers. He was slammed for raising the issue. “Government does give out taxpayers’ dollars all of the time. It’s not something new,” said then-director Wayne Lippert. Lippert’s comments were bang on, because in January, GVAC covered the $938 recreation complex rental fee for the

United Way’s Wine Expo. GVAC has also promised the 2014 Royal Bank Cup bid committee free use of Wesbild Centre if the national junior A hockey championships come here. That’s a $50,000 hit. One of the apparent reasons for turning down Funtastic’s $6,808 request was, “Funtastic makes money. They’re not hurting,” said director Catherine Lord. And certainly there is a lot of cash at play, particularly with the music festival and its lucrative beverage garden. But consider that over the last three years, Funtastic provided $75,000 in support to local groups, many of whom have limited cash for sports equipment and other resources because GVAC charges them for fields and facilities (something that is free in some other towns). Money has also gone to playgrounds meaning local officials are off the hook. Like other organizations, Funtastic is not a business. It largely consists of volunteer activities and it directly benefits the community through recreation and economic development. While it was never said, I suspect Funtastic’s perceived reputation played a critical role in GVAC’s stance. There is a view among some residents that the event only attracts beer-swigging ball players and the concert creates noise pollution. There’s no recognition of the families that come back year after year for camaraderie around the ball diamond or the responsible locals who head up to DND for a few tunes. Ultimately, GVAC directors are responsible for the public purse and taxpayers realistically can’t help everyone with their hand out. But one would hope that decisions would be consistent, meaning that all groups are treated equally by policies. That certainly wasn’t the case this time around.
It’s like déjà vu all over again. The Stanley Cup playoffs begin today and, like last year, the Vancouver Canucks will be the top seed of the 16 teams that will battle for the NHL championship. But there are questions that seem to be dulling the team’s bright prospects. Of uppermost concern is Daniel Sedin’s health. Last season’s top scorer hasn’t played since he was leveled by Duncan Keith’s elbow during a game in Chicago in March. As is typical of most teams at this time of the season, the Canucks aren’t saying much about Sedin’s injury or his prospects of playing in Wednesday’s playoff opener. While the team continued to win in his absence — even managed to put together an impressive string of consecutive victories to propel them to the top of the league standings — there’s been no shortage of anguish amongst their fans. The Canucks’ power play has fizzled, Ryan Kesler can’t seem to hit the net anymore and the big trade that sent beloved young prospect Cody Hodgson to Buffalo for an unproven, hard-nosed Zack Kassian so far seems to have been a bit of a bust. Then there’s the goalie question. As back-up Corey Schneider has ascended in the hearts and confidence of fans with his steady play and easy-going demeanour, veteran Roberto Luongo remains an enigma. He can be brilliant for stretches, then suddenly incapable of stopping a beach ball. His body language of abject failure when he’s scored upon, and his knack for sullen, cliché-ridden interviews hasn’t endeared him either. Over all the team’s drama hovers the lingering stench of last spring’s Stanley Cup riot. Will the people of Vancouver be able to show the world we’re more like the welcoming, celebratory partiers of the Olympics than the looting thugs of June? All questions, on and off the ice, will be answered in eight or nine weeks. – Burnaby Newsleader

Upgrades overdue but not enough
I
would like to comment on two recent articles in The Morning Star. First, a comment by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom. Referring to the upgrading of Highway 6, he said, “Our commitment to safety is unquestionable”. Mr. Minister, if your ministry is committed to road safety, why are you only doing half the job by not upgrading all the way to Aberdeen Road? This writer has been involved in vehicle/road safety since 1969 and at that time common sense told us that any location that changes the flow of traffic, in a negative way, increases the potential for accidents and I doubt common sense has changed over the years. This long overdue upgrade to Highway 6 will just move the existing bottleneck a few hun-
SMART METERS B.C. Hydro is on a hard core campaign to have smart meters put in each Vernon residence. Any Vernon resident that does not have one installed and used will have their hydro cut off, no option or choice. Each citizen has the right to be part of the whole in this wonderful community. The citizens that choose to be informed have the obligation to warn others when a dangerous or environmental hazard is known. I personally have done enough research now to be convinced smart meters are not the way to go. They serve the corporate structure of B.C. Hydro at a great health and other expenses to us, the common citizens who will be forced to suffer if smart meters are in fact integrated. BC Hydro has an agenda that is not in alignment with the well being of our community. There are solutions that are green and promote a thriving community. Smart meters are not one of them.
dred meters further west. Now, we slow down for the railroad crossing and a 90 degree corner. Soon, westbound traffic will be able to fly into a narrowing of the traffic lane with very little area to help one to adjust to the sudden change. It will be interesting to see how many weeks before the first Until Hydro offers such, we have been and are doing just fine with analog meters. It is my opinion after the research, that the very least we should have a moratorium on smart meters here until it is guaranteed by both sides empirically that any digital metering is proven to be safe. As it is now, the evidence weighs strongly on the side of there being serious long-term consequences to at least some in our community. Chris Madsen LOOK IN THE MIRROR Teachers and support workers tell us our schools are being underfunded and public education is in trouble. Nurses and doctors tell us our hospitals are being underfunded and health care is in trouble. Police officers, lawyers and judges tell us our courts are being underfunded and our legal system is in trouble. Caregivers and long-term care workers tell us our facilities and
accident happens at this new bottle neck area. Any bets? Secondly, I would agree with Don Fraser’s letter regarding the recent upgrading of Highway 97A in the Armstrong area. Mr. Fraser is referring to the lack of acceleration lanes for traffic turning right from a side road on to the highway. He says this situation is “stusupport for seniors are being underfunded and are in trouble. Social workers and child-care workers tell us our social services are being underfunded and childprotection services are in trouble. Yet, we ignore them all, and instead listen to wealthy business and government leaders. We choose to believe people who enjoy generous salaries, costof-living increases, benefits and tax exemptions and can easily afford private schools, private clinics, private seniors' facilities and private security. Why do we distrust the people on the front lines and choose to trust the people who benefit most from government underfunding of our public institutions? If our schools, hospitals, seniors and children are trouble in B.C., we don't need to ask who is to blame. We just need to look in the mirror. We elected the government that is underfunding and cutting our services, and we are sitting back and letting them do so. We can't change the govern-
pid.” I think this situation is “really stupid.” The people who have been driving in the Armstrong area have had acceleration lanes for two decades or more and all of a sudden, that convenience has been taken away from the motoring public? Why does the previously improved section of Highway 97A (a few kilometres south) have acceleration lanes and the new section close to town not have them? The ministry comment was, “The current traffic volume does not warrant the additional cost.” A week later, the recent census show Armstrong’s population increased 13.5 per cent in the last five years. Go figure. Recently, I witnessed a car make a right turn from Smith Drive on to the highway. The car driver obviously was expecting to use the old accelerament right now. but if we don't like what is happening in B.C., we have to step up and do so. We can start supporting the people who are fighting to save our public institutions. Karen Leahy, Grandparents for Public Education GREAT ARTICLE The recent article by Cara Brady entitled, "Grieving dad shares powerful message" was excellent. What a powerful message to all readers. It caused me, at the age of 58, to shed a few tears. Greg Drew is an admirable man. What he is doing is commendable. I can only imagine his suffering, having to relive this disaster time and time again, for the sake of helping others. With sons of my own, now approaching 30, I could relate to the story. Thanks to all of you for the wonderful, real and very touching story. Gerry Bohemier
tion lane as he pulled out in front of two loaded semi-trailer units running side by side. I fully expected to be dialing 911. Again, I reiterate, the changing of the traffic flow in a negative way, is usually a disaster waiting to happen. I think we should change the name of our governing party in British Columbia. They built us a beautiful new hospital and only activated half of it. They modernize Highway 97A at Armstrong and leave off the lanes that add the most safety to traffic entering, from a near standstill, into highway speed traffic. Now, they are going to upgrade a hazardous section of Highway 6, but leave a short section in 1960s condition. All three situations done in a half-assed manner by a party of similar ilk.

Writer’s Path is years in the making There is no giving up for Lent, who returns to his origins on The Path to Ardroe KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
As a young student at the University of Alberta, John Lent often strolled up Whyte Avenue in Edmonton’s Old Strathcona district, where his contemporaries –– writers, artists, musicians –– would gather at the local watering hole. It was at a time when Alberta’s capital was still experiencing substantial growth. Two decades after the end of the Second World War had brought in new immigrants, many from Eastern European nations, and the city’s population had more than doubled. Although he would leave Edmonton in 1971, eventually making his way to the Okanagan, Lent says the city has played several significant chapters in his life as a writer. “In 1954, my father lugged up our first rental TV into the house... Having a car then wasn’t assumed. Most of my modern life assembled out of those experiences,” said Lent. Like his own life, Lent’s latest and 10th book, The Path to Ardroe, is also set along the south banks of the North Saskatchewan River. “The High Level Bridge is a big chapter of the novel as it connects all the districts,” said Lent. Born in Antigonish, N.S., Lent and his family (which would go on to include six siblings) found themselves in Edmonton in the early ‘50. After leaving the city to get his PhD at Toronto’s York University, Lent would later release his first book of poetry in 1978. After teaching writing at Nelson’s Selkirk College, he came to the Okanagan in 1979, where he would start his tenure as a wellrespected creative writing professor and mentor to many. He retired as regional dean of Okanagan College’s Kalamalka Campus in Vernon last year. Written in each voice of the four baby boomers, who grow up in the south-side neighborhoods of Edmonton, The Path to Ardroe follows as their lives change as the culture and sub-culture transforms as the decades pass. “The birth of this novel is very strange because I started it in 1994, and finished it years later,” said Lent. “It’s actually set on one day in 1994, and follows the characters to

Retired Okanagan College regional dean John Lent can these days can be found enjoying a coffee and a book –– maybe a Munro, or a Lowry (two of his favourite writers) –– at the Bean Scene Coffee House, where he is a regular. His latest novel, The Path to Ardroe, will be launched at the Bean Scene Friday. all these different places, including Scotland, France, Edmonton, and Vernon.” Lent first started The Path To Ardroe while on sabbatical in Edinburgh. Accompanied by his wife, artist and writer Jude Clarke, who was completing a residency there, he started to think about his childhood, and the idea came to base his characters from a period of time where change around the world was happening. “I turned 20 in 1968 and that was transformative,” he said. “For a Catholic living in the south side of Edmonton, the ‘60s was when things changed for me; I wrote music and poetry, it was a fascinating time.” The idea to fast forward the setting of the book to the ‘90s, when Lent actually started to pen it, came from his own observations of how life was, this time, changing around him. “There were two things in the ‘90s that bothered me. The boomers, my generation, were subjected to stereotyping of being from that ‘60s generation. The ‘60s were trivialized, but so much change took place back then. Then there was the ‘90s virus. Everyone was so ironic about everything. I was fighting against that –– there had to be something else. I was

pushing away from that cool irony, that stylish, slick, ironic character.” Upon returning home from Scotland, Lent sent his original manuscript out to a number of book agents. “I got some interesting bites, but nothing substantial,” he said. “So I put it away under my bed and instead wrote, So it Won’t Go Away (Lent’s second novel, published in 2005).” Gathering dust, Lent went back to The Path to Ardroe after his publisher, Thistledown Press, who published his last six books, including 2009’s collection of poetry Cantilevered Songs, asked if he had anything on the go. “I had just retired and didn’t want to immerse myself in a big frantic project,” said Lent. However, he soon found out that editing can be just as big of a job. He spent long stretches of the morning re-writing the chapters –– the stereo tuned to jazz or classical, depending on the mood of what he was writing. Dividing the book into eight panels, Lent devoted approximately 100 pages, or two panels each, to each of his four characters. “Each character faces a dilemma that comes to a cliff hanger. It starts them off then comes back to them... I love the juxtaposition of

character to character, and from time to time,” he said. Once written, he sent the chapters to his editor Michael Kenyon, who helped him bring the novel to its present status. “He would say ‘don’t do that, do this’ and he was right on the mark,” said Lent, adding, “The older I get, the more I realize there’s a discipline in repetition. It takes a while to get that feeling. You have to trust in the process... and write it out.” Describing The Path to Ardroe as a happy and at times funny novel, Lent says he set out to write it as that of a Chagall painting. “The stuff I published after ‘94 was pretty dark. I had written about dysfunctional families before, and this time I wanted to write something buoyant, but hopefully powerful.” Launched in Kelowna Tuesday, Lent is on a nine-city tour to officially release The Path to Ardroe, which will be available at Chapters and other book stores, as well as nationally and internationally online. The Vernon launch is at the Bean Scene Coffee House (upstairs) Friday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance at the Bean Scene or $20 at the door.

Murder mystery is aboard Lions host fundraiser, Death on the SS Aberdeen RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
High society and working class converge on the SS Aberdeen as the ship makes stop at settlements along Okanagan Lake. It’s an absolutely leisurely experience until a body is found.

guests.” Barbara Keith, a local resident, is currently weaving together the tale. “They’re going to be surprised,” said Keith of the reaction to the mystery’s inevitable outcome. As part of the pro-

Keith, who is part of Powerhouse Theatre, has also tried to conform to the common mores of the period. “I’ve had to get my head into the time and it was socially far more formal in terms of communication (between people),” she said. “I’ve been developing characters and there are some famous names I’ve used but not in a murderous way.” Funds from the murder mystery — which

In the case of the museum, it will be located in the restored CPR station house in Paddlewheel Park and be operated by the Greater Vernon Museum. “There will be artifacts from that time period there,” said Smith of sternwheelers and trains using the Landing as a terminus in the 1880s and early 1900s. The guide dog program is part of a longstanding Lions commitment to help people with medical and physical disabilities. “There are at least two dogs in Vernon and they are free to whoever needs them,” said Smith. The Death on the SS Aberdeen murder mystery takes place April 28 at the Schubert Centre, with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and the action starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $40 each or $300 for a table of eight and they can be purchased from Lions Club members, at the Schubert Centre or by calling 250-549-4201. It’s anticipated that the event will be popular. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Smith.

Belgian film rides on hope Vernon Film Society
A Belgium-French co-production, The Kid with a Bike is the next screening of the Vernon Film Society. It was the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at last year’s Cannes Film Festival and was also nominated for a 2012 Golden Globe award. The film is directed by the Dardenne brothers, who have been winning prizes for 15 years now, including two Palmes d’Or at Cannes, for their realistic portraits set in working class towns in post-industrial, French speaking Belgium. The title has echoes of the classic Italian film The Bicycle Thief and portrays a fiery tempered 11 year old, Cyril Catoul (Thomas Doret), whose thoughts are never far away from his bike. His single, dispirited father has dumped Cyril into a children’s home, taking his own and Cyril’s bike with him. The son cannot believe his father has sold his bike and that he doesn’t want him anymore.
CHRISTINE PLENUS
Samantha (Cécile de France) and Cyril (Thomas Doret) star in Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s The Kid With a Bike, which screens at the Towne Cinema Monday. When he finally gets the bike back it is stolen twice, which brings him into the orbit of a local gang. There are touches of hope in the story, especially as Cyril finds a loving protector in the form of Samantha (Cécile de France). She gives up part of her life to take him in, protect him from jail, and provide unconditional love. Full of heartbreaking
betrayals and unexpected grace, The Kid with a Bike is a film about a child, abandoned to the elements, learning to become good. The Vernon Film Society is showing The Kid with a Bike (with subtitles) Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. All tickets are $7 at the door and available at the theatre and the Bean Scene one week prior to the screening.

In Naoko Hayashi’s delicate hands, paper twine becomes flowers, butterflies, animals, birds and boats. The art of mizuhiki goes back more than 1,400 years when the Japanese delegate to China brought back a gift box to the Japanese emperor with a red and white twine decoration symbolizing a safe journey. This began a tradition of using the knot-like decoration on gifts. Later, samurai warriors wore top knots in their hair and umbrellas were made of mizuhiki paper because it was strong and waterproof. At first, only the royal family would practise the art form but later other craftspeople and artists used the material to make other items, including the traditional bride’s hair clip. Hayashi, who was born in Japan, did not practise mizuhiki until she came to Canada. She was born in Fukui-ken Prefecture where her father was prominent in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism as head of a temple in Sapporo, which had 10,000 members. She attended university, then worked as a teacher during the Second World War. She then owned a women’s fashion shop where she made her own designs in Tokyo’s Ginza district. She was asked to give up the store to go to Sapporo to work on a history of the temple but important records had been destroyed and she could not do that. At the same time, Chu Hayashi, an immigrant from Japan, was a widower bringing up his children in Thunder Bay, Ont. He had been in the internment camps in B.C. during the war, then moved to Ontario to work. He kept active in Jodo Shinshu Buddhism,

Naoko Hayashi at work on her mizuhiki pieces for the show and sale at the Japanese Cultural Centre in Vernon Saturday and Sunday. holding meetings in his home and sending articles to the mother temple in Kyoto, telling about what it was like to be a Buddhist in Canada. Naoko knew nothing about Canada but she thought it would be interesting to correspond with Chu when it was suggested to her by her aunt. After two years of writing, they agreed to marry and she set out for Vancouver where Chu, who worked for the railway, was to meet her. She was 50 years old when she arrived in December 1972 and spoke no English. They were married in Steveston, and Buddhists in Vancouver gave her a winter coat for the honeymoon winter train trip to Thunder Bay. Naoko came from the upper classes and had never cooked a meal or done any housework
but she set out to learn to cook with a cookbook in Japanese and to take care of her new family. “Everything was so big and so cold. There were no street lights. I couldn’t see anything. But I was happy,” she said. Canadian Buddhists introduced her to the art of Mizuhiki which she embraced enthusiastically using her artistic talent. “I love to do it. The ideas come. I started with flowers like ikebana and now I do many things.” Mizuhiki adds a special meaning to the Japanese word “musubu,” which means connection or tying. Japanese people use mizuhiki to convey warmth, affection and togetherness. Naoko moved to Vernon seven years ago after the death
of her husband to live with her step-son, Arnie Hayashi, and his wife Debra Campbell. “When I visit Japan, people tell me I am very lucky to live with my family because it is no longer so much that way in Japan. I am happy here,” she said. A show and sale of her work will benefit the Buddhist Temple in Vernon and the World Buddhist Women’s conference in Calgary in 2015. The sale includes cards, jewelry, framed pictures, wall hangings, turtles, mice, butterflies and her favourite, flowers, all made with paper and her creative imagination. Naoko’s Hayashi’s mizuhiki show and sale takes place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Japanese Cultural Centre at 4895 Bella Vista Rd.
Riding club trots out fashion show Morning Star Staff
The Vernon District Riding Club kicks off the season in style. On Friday, the club will hold a fashion show and fundraising event at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. “Guests will witness a glamorous transformation, from coveralls to high fashion riding apparel, not normally seen at the barn or on the runway,” said Linda Parker-Fisk, organizer. Western and English riding apparel, work wear, casual wear and jewelry will be provided by the Paddock Tack and Togs, Cowboys Choice and Diana’s Monogramming. The models will include riding instructors, farriers, sponsors and members. “Live music by Bill Boyd will set the mood for guests as they
arrive for cocktails followed by a buffet dinner,” said ParkerFisk. “Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio has provided assistance to the models in preparation for the show, and will offer free two-step lessons at intermission.” Due to a recent decline of provincial gaming funds, the VDRC board has developed new fundraising initiatives. “Their wish is to see young riders of the future continue to benefit from such a special place,” said Parker-Fisk. Tickets for the fundraiser are $35 each and they are available at the Paddock Tack and Togs, Cowboys Choice and Diana’s Monogramming in Vernon. The doors open at 5:30pm.

News Forum focuses on reconciliation Morning Star Staff
The Indian residential school experience has motivated some Enderby area residents to work towards a future of mutual respect. More than 70 people turned out to A.L. Fortune Secondary April 4 to attend a forum on the Indian residential schools legacy and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s interim recommendations. “Healing is something the First Nations must do for themselves, each in their own time,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin First Nation chief. “The non-aboriginal community can help by being there to give witness to the truth without ascribing blame.” Mayor Howie Cyr spoke of Enderby being richer as a community because of the presence of the Splatsin and Wayne Christian the city’s desire to work ever more closely in co-operation with the Splatsin. Among those participating in the forum was Daniel Joe, a Splatsin band councillor and resolution health support worker for the Indian Residential School Survivors’ Society. He spoke of the legacy of dysfunctional parenting and he related how his own father and mother were unable express love to their children, never having received it themselves. “Finally, at the age of 24, I had to tell my mother that I needed to be hugged.” Panelist Jody Leon led the audience through the interim recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The recommendations include funding to sustain mental health and healing centres, the release by government and churches of all relevant documents, the development of culturally appropriate early childhood and parenting programs, the promotion of traditional spiritual, cultural and linguistic heritage, measures to increase public awareness and understanding, and the extension of the commission’s mandate by one year to insure it is able to complete its task. “In response to audience questions, the panelists urged the audience to become engaged by pressuring the government to adopt the recommendations, by seeking out and speaking the truth, by being patient while recognizing that years of pain and suffering won’t likely be healed in 20 sessions, and by not being judgemental when witnessing the human manifestation of that suffering,” said Bernie Desrosiers, with the Shuswap Inclusion Project, which organized the event.
Board pours grants Morning Star Staff
Six North Okanagan water conservation and quality improvement projects have been given the green light. Initiatives in Spallumcheen, Armstrong and Greater Vernon have received a total of $57,900 in grants from the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “The water in this valley is all connected,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. There is $15,000 going towards wireless control of the reservoir level in the Steele Springs Waterworks District in Spallumcheen. Armstrong is receiving $16,300 for residential water metering while Okanagan College gets $4,000 for a demonstration garden at its Kalamalka campus. The Greater Vernon grants include $10,000 for Coldstream Creek restoration, $8,000 for landscape irrigation auditing and $4,600 for a rain barrel workshop.

Firefighters Mike Stoll (left) and Ryan McGiverin make sure Reinhard Mann is secure in a stretcher.
Vernon firefighters are ready to tackle the most difficult terrain. Crews recently completed over-the-bank training, which includes rope rescues, patient packaging, anchoring and rigging systems. This allows firefighters to go over steep inclines to remove patients from vehicles or other types of embankment rescues. “There are about a dozen incidents a year where having over-the-bank skill sets, both steep angle and low angle, Jack Blair will help increase scene safety to not only the firefighters and ambulance personnel but also any patients that may be injured at the accident scene,� said Jack Blair, deputy chief. “The use of various ropes, knots and appliances gives the firefighters mechanical advantages to ease the removal of the patients and greater ease in lifting them up the steep slopes for transport via the B.C. Ambulance Service.�

Tory candidates meet public TRACY HUGHES Black Press
Armstrong, Enderby and Falkland residents will have an opportunity to meet some new faces from a political party that hopes to challenge the Liberals provincially. Three candidates are vying for the right to represent the Shuswap constituency for the B.C. Conservatives: Tom Birch, Ed Klopp and Maureen Walker. Birch, a Salmon Arm resident since 1998, has worked for non-profits, and in the forest industry, where he is currently employed as a project manager for a Vancouver-based forestry software company. “I am passionate in the belief that democracy is the people’s government and that we must reengage those who are disillusioned with it,” he said. “Our youth particularly need to see how their participation does make a difference. We need to revive the concept of citizenship and working together to make our region, our province and our country greater for our having been here.” Klopp, a resident of Sorrento, has been a trucker, property developer and, since moving to the Shuswap in 2010, currently owns an asphalt repair company. During his time in Alberta, Klopp was involved with the federal Reform Party and the Wildrose Alliance Party. “We need to stop expecting the government to
“I am passionate about this province.” — Maureen Walker keep fixing everything and expect taxes to go down at the same time,” he said. “We can’t stay on the tax-and-spend spree that happened with the NDP in the ’90s and still is with the Liberal government to date... We need smaller, more transparent government making tough decisions.” Walker, a native of northern B.C., moved to the Enderby area in 1997 and was the owner of the former North Valley Echo newspaper. She is currently working for Community Futures Shuswap. Walker stresses her vast knowledge of the Shuswap region, its businesses and people, from both her work and as an active community volunteer. “I am passionate about this province and feel the B.C. Conservative Party is the only alternative to the current provincial government.” The three candidates will be available to meet and chat with the public Saturday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Choices Restaurant in Salmon Arm.

United earns Ice Breaker medals Rep soccer in Lake Country Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United #1 bowed 2-1 (4-1) in penalty kicks to the Prince George Kodiaks in the finals of the Okanagan Ice Breaker Under 12 Rep Boys Soccer Tournament Sunday at Beasley Park in Lake Country. United keeper Micah Martens had no chance on any of the Kodiak shootout attempts, while Vernon’s tourney MVP Perez Vermeulen scored on United’s second shot. Captain Finn Plummer made a great run down the left side and found the left, low corner of the net, for United’s regulation goal with 11 minutes remaining. Prince George equalized on a gorgeous header with five minutes to play. Man of the Match Zach Agar anchored a stingy United back line along with Kody Kongsdorf, while Owen Miller and Alex Ogunbiyi ran miles up front and on the half line. Nick Mitchell posted an opening-half shutout for United, who won their pool at 3-0 after grounding the Kelowna United U11 Wolfpack 6-0 Saturday afternoon. Martens and Mitchell shared the shutout, while Miller scored twice, including the winner off a corner by Ogunbiyi. Martens netted his first Rep goal, on a cross by Miller, while Plummer stole the ball from a Kelowna player and scored after some fancy footwork, making it 3-0. Vermeulen, named Man of the Match, buried a hard, long drive for United’s fourth goal, while Miller got the fifth on a nifty play with Seb Wenger and Kongsdorf. Ogunbiyi completed the offence on a penalty shot, awarded after he was taken down in the 18. “A shootout is a cruel way to lose a goldmedal game, but the boys played their hearts out and showed loads of talent,” said United head coach Kevin Mitchell, assisted by Yogi Kongsdorf. The Vernon United #2, meanwhile, toppled Kelowna U11 Wolfpack 7-1 for a bronze medal Sunday morning. Vernon jumped to an early lead when Brendan Yakura converted on a nice pass from Vernon’s tourney MVP Ben Purvis, who made it 2-0 on a long, solo run after intercepting an errant pass. Yakura then went on a long dash of his own to make it 3-0, while Purvis nailed a corker into the far corner of the net just before the break. Mika Burns opened the second-half
attack on a play involving Braeden Cooper and Man of the Match Jarrod Latta, while Purvis made it 6-0 from the left wing. Vernon exchanged regular keeper Dylan Huber, who continued as a midfielder, with defender Noah Schneider, who was unlucky as Kelowna looped a ball over his head. Cooper, from CJ Storey, finished the United offence. In their Saturday pool games, Roy Cooper’s crew bowed 3-1 to the Kamloops Blaze in the morning and then fell 3-2 (4-3) in penalty kicks to Prince George in an afternoon showdown. Kamloops recorded an early goal, but strong defence by Adam Raber and Yakura kept it a 1-0 game until shortly before half time when the Blaze connected again. Vernon came out strong in the second half and Huber made several great saves to keep United in the game. Purvis headed in a cross by Raber after a corner by Cooper before Kamloops added a sweet third goal with Vernon pressing LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR hard.

Sports Mick likely headed to SilverBacks The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are expected to name Vernon’s Troy Mick their new head coach, general manager and business partner at a press conference this afternoon at the Shaw Centre. SilverBacks owner Randy Williams has been looking for a veteran leader behind the Gorillas’ bench and in the front office, and a Tuesday release from the B.C. Hockey League team, states the new man brings experience as a head coach in the Western Hockey League, BCHL and pro hockey. Silverbacks’ faithful are eagerly anticipating the biggest hockey operations move since the departure of former owner and GM Garry Davidson. Mick, 43, coached the Bantam program at Pursuit of Excellence in Kelowna last season. He was head coach of the national champion Vernon Vipers in 1999 and later coached the Tri-City Americans and Kamloops Blazers of the WHL after starting as an assistant with the Portland Winter Hawks. He was drafted by Pittsburgh in 1988. Vernon’s Colin O’Hara resigned as SilverBacks’ head coach earlier this month.

Abbotsford’s Adam Hadwin was the top Canadian, finishing in a tie for fifth after rounds of 71-71-65-73 (280). After carding an opening round of 69, Vernon’s Chris Baryla dipped to 68th with subsequent rounds of 76-79-71 to end at 295. The top 25 players on the Nationwide loop will earn 2013 PGA Tour cards.

Ferris State (26-12-5), featuring former Vernon Viper forward Cory Kane, advanced to the championship game by grounding Cole Ikkala’s Union College Flying Dutchmen 3-1 in semifinal play Thursday night. The Eagles (33-10-1) torched the Minnesota Golden Gophers 6-1 in the other Thursday semi. They finished their season with a 19-game winning streak, outscoring its opponents 77-21.

Golden Gloves card huge draw Morning Star Staff
Some of B.C.’s top amateur boxers will be in Vernon this weekend as they battle at the prestigious provincial Golden Gloves Saturday, April 21 and April 22 at the Rec Centre auditorium. Tournament organizer Tony Stamboulieh, head instructor at CounterPunch Boxing Club, says preparations for the long-standing event are going well. He estimated 40 athletes had already registered by Tuesday morning. “We’ve got boxers from all over the province, and we even have applications from boxers in California and Alberta,” said Stamboulieh, first vicepresident of Boxing B.C. “From age 12 right up to elite senior boxers. One of the boxers (Thomas Speirs of Prince George) is the No. 2 Lightheavyweight in Canada right now. “Many boxers have gone from Golden Gloves to national titles in amateur boxing, and then on to professional national titles and even world titles.” The event, sanctioned by Boxing B.C., begins Saturday night, with

doors opening at 6 p.m. Sundayaction starts at 1 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Breakaway Fitness (2202801 35th Avenue) and at The Bean Scene (2923 30th Avenue). “We’re expecting a full house on both days,” said Stamboulieh, who plans to honour a pair of B.C. boxing legends at the event. The first is Vernon’s Alphonse Chabot, a former Golden Gloves champion and Canadian professional Bantam-, Feather- and Lightweight champion. Chabot, a member of the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame, had more than 100 fights, losing only three times. His boxing career was cut short by a serious car accident. The other honouree is Chief Roger Adolph of the Fountain Band in Lillooet. Another ex-Golden Gloves winner, Adolph went on to box professionally in London, England in the 1960s. He now coaches with the Just Do It Boxing Club in Lillooet. While most of the volunteer crew is in place, Stamboulieh is still searching for a ringside doctor. Contact him at (250) 260-1082.

UBC Okanagan Heat Athletics
Heat head coach Steve Manuel has added an experienced middle blocker to the UBC Okanagan women’s volleyball team. Katie Wuttunee has played one year of PACWEST volleyball with North Vancouver’s Kate Wuutunee Capilano University Blues, who placed third in the province last season, and is now trading up to the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) with the Heat. Her goal was always to play PACWEST for one year and then transfer to a CIS school so that she could establish her skills and get some court time as a freshman. “I only started playing club volleyball in Grade 10 so I thought one year at Capilano was a good way to improve my volleyball skills,” said Wuttunee. “I spent some time at UBC Okanagan when I trained with the U16 Team BC and I really enjoyed the city and the campus. Athletically, I am really looking forward to working with Steve and the coaching staff to improve my skills and contribute to a great program.” The 6-foot-3 middle will make a great contribution with her height and also has the advantage of having already played with some of Manuel’s key players. Wuttunee says she is looking forward to reuniting with past teammates Emily Oxland, and from Team BC, Brianna Beamish, Kailin Jones and Chandler Proch. “Katie is another big piece of the puzzle for us,” said Manuel. “She has the physical ability to be a dominant middle blocker in Canada West and her desire to compete makes her that much more of an asset.”

Former Merritt Centennials’ and Westside Warriors’ netminder Cole Holowenko of the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders is rated 29th. Former Vernon minor hockey product Brady Brassart, of the Calgary Hitmen, is ranked 181st. Brassart bagged 25 goals and 59 points in his third WHL season. Everett Silvertips’ d-man Ryan Murray remains the highest-ranked WHL player among North American skaters. Murray, a product of White City, Sask., moved up to second among North American skaters, behind only Nail Yakupov of the Sarnia Sting. The 18-year-old just completed his third

season in the WHL with Mark Ferner’s Silvertips, netting nine goals and 31 points in 46 games. A steady, reliable two-way blueliner with poise, terrific hockey sense and excellent skating ability, Murray helped Canada win a bronze medal at the 2012 World Junior Championships. Centre Colton Sissons is the highest-ranked member of the WHL Kelowna Rockets, at 14th overall. The 6-foot, 187-pound North Vancouver product compiled 26 goals and 41 points in 53 games this season.
Vees sign three American recruits The Vees have signed U.S. talent Zach Stepan, Noah Henry and Evan Anderson for next season. Stepan, 17, is the cousin of New York Rangers forward Derek Stepan and a top prospect for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft in Pittsburgh. He is ranked 44th amongst North American Skaters in the midterm rankings by NHL Central Scouting. Stepan, a centre, is described as having a good shot with great vision and excels at distributing the puck. His numbers with Shattuck-St. Mary’s Prep School Sabres echo the scouting report. Through 42 games he had 18 goals and 56 points. The Minnesota native is set to join the Ohio State Buckeyes in the fall of 2013. Anderson, 17, hails from Colorado. He suited up for the Thunderbirds Major Midget under-18 team in the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League. The T-birds won the Rocky Mountain District Championship. Anderson scored 15 goals and collected 31 points in 39 games. His skill level is measured without the puck as he takes pride in his defensive play. Henry, 17, of Wisconsin, will be a key piece to the Vees’ dee. He brings a well-balanced mix of size and speed as well as offensive punch with 29 points, third best amongst Sabres’ defencemen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Just because you don’t get everything you want is no reason to feel sorry for yourself. Concentrate on what you did get and count your blessings, not the ones that got away. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Instead of feeling obligated to do business with the same firm you’ve always gone to, try another company that is offering you a deal. Sentiment won’t save you dollars. CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you fail to stick to an earlier agreement and instead decide to break the pact you made, you’ll cause complications for yourself, as well as tarnish your image. Don’t do it.
enemy. This is especially so if it encourages you to postpone attending to a matter that needs immediate attention. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It won’t be one of your better days for managing personal resources if you are more reactive than introspective. Think of the consequences before you do anything. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The results of your involvements are likely to be exactly as you anticipate. Be sure to think positive about everything and do what leads to victory, not defeat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although you normally keep everything you can out in the open, you might be tempted to resort to some subterfuge. Because this isn’t your usual style, it’ll make you very uncomfortable. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you’re going to do something for a friend, do it out of the kindness of your heart and not in hopes of looking good and/or being rewarded.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) If you sense there is something wrong in a valued relationship, you should bring the matter out into the open. An honest, frank discussion should get things back on track. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Trying to rationalize your troubles away never works it can be your worst

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE DUMMY CAN GUIDE THE DEFENSE This week we are looking at the two styles of defense: active and passive. When the opponents clearly have the values for their contract, you should actively pursue establishing and winning tricks. But when they have struggled, it’s best to sit back and await tricks, probably leading a trump. Sometimes, though, the bidding will not make it obvious which way to turn. Then you must wait for the dummy. Is it the minimum for the bidding? Is it balanced? If you answer “yesâ€? both times, go passive. But if it has extra values or has either a strong side-suit or a short suit that will provide rufďŹ ng tricks, you
need to be active, trying to win tricks as quickly as possible. South is in four spades. West leads the diamond two. What should East do after taking dummy’s queen with his king? Since North has almost all of his points in his doubleton, I would have raised to three no-trump, not used Stayman. But that contract would have had no chance after a diamond lead (or a spade or low club, for that matter). Into which category does the North hand fall? Right, it is balanced with no source of establishable tricks. There is no need to be active. After taking the ďŹ rst trick, East should defend passively by returning a diamond or by
shifting to a trump. Yes, declarer can still make his contract if he plays double-dummy, as if he could see all 52 cards. But in the real world, he is almost certain to go down. The curious may work it out. But the main point is that with the relatively at dummy, do not go active; stay passive.

VAN JOSEPH KUPSER
With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Allen Russell Baird on April 6, 2012 in Kelowna, BC at 62 years of age. Allen was born on June 29, 1949 in Enderby, BC and enjoyed living in the area his entire life. Allen and the love of his life, Elizabeth “Betty” Preece, were married May 16, 1970 and raised two wonderful children. The family enjoyed time together and the great outdoors. In 1972, Allen started A. R. Baird Ltd. in Ashton Creek, mainly trucking, hauling logs and chips. His career moved on in 1977 when he joined Baird Brothers. Allen was president for 28 years, sold his shares in 2006, but continued to proudly work for Baird Brothers. Allen will be lovingly remembered by his loving wife Betty, son Russell (Kelly) Baird, daughter Tracy Baird, and ¿ve grandchildren Brendan, Ashlyn, Jason, Ally, and Austen. Allen will be also be missed by his brother Ross, sister Maye Hebditch, in-laws Joan (Doug), Dianne (Don), George (Diena), Carol (Ken), Vera (Sandy), Ruth (Eugene), Rita (Lenard), Donny (Carolyn), numerous extended family members on both sides, and many friends and business associates. Allen was predeceased by his parents Ozzy and Greta Baird, nephews Bradley and Shane, and in-laws Jack, Joyce, Wayne, Helen and Seville. Celebration of Life will be held at the Armstrong Bible Chapel (2145 Rosedale Ave, Armstrong, BC) on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Those who wish to do so, may make a memorial donation to the Enderby & District Lions Club (c/o 412 Kildonan Ave, Enderby, BC V0E 1V2).

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Van Joseph Kupser. Van leaves to mourn him, his wife, Phyllis, of nearly 42 years; his two sons, Sean of Lumby, Sheldon (Selina) of Australia; and one daughter, Kelly Hodgins (Liam) of Cherryville. Van was a devoted and loving grandfather (Pa Pa) to his grandchildren: Jordan, Vanessa, Alira, Kaige, Lennex, and Maddy. Van was born the eldest of six children to Anne and Joseph Kupser. He had three brothers: Brian (Annwen), Ken (Lil), Ron (Wendy), and two sisters, Joanne Kryshuck (Norman) and Lana Lammerts (Leo) and numerous nieces and nephews. Van was predeceased by his father in 1996. Van spent the majority of his life working on our highways; initially working for the Government and then with Okanagan Aggregates (VSA), then YRB and back to Okanagan Aggregates. Van enjoyed and treasured the time spent working with his many friends. While living in Lumby, Van had many interests. He loved sports, especially the Montreal Canadians. He was frequently referred to as “Guy”. He played slow-pitch and helped organize tournaments in Hawaii. Van reffed hockey and umpired softball. He drove ambulance for years and was on the Disaster Planning Committee. He represented Lumby as Alderman for 13 years. Van enjoyed music and played guitar in three different bands. Along with his family, Van enjoyed years of outdoor fun such as 4-wheeling, camping, ¿shing and traveling in various lengths of RVs. Anyone who knew Van knows that his favourite activity was ¿nding and getting ¿rewood! Van was blessed with a great sense of humour, a twinkle in his eye and the willingness to help anyone at anytime. In February 2010, Van was faced with his greatest challenge of his life. A terminal diagnosis giving him only weeks, maybe months to live. He took this on like everything else in his life - with courage, determination and grace. He led his family and friends through this journey with his strength and optimism, making it easier for us all. Van left this world peacefully in the arms of his family and surrounded by the love of his many friends. We were all extremely fortunate to have a man like Van touch our lives. He will be missed. The Celebration of Life will be held at the Cherryville Hall on April 13, 2012 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of Àowers, those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Van may do so to their charity of choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to: PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

CALICO JOE A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major for League Baseball… Le It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The firrst baseman for the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down do as he rounded third and headed for home. The next ne day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone inj to play first, so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a twenty-one-year-old M named Joe Castle. na Joe Castle was the boy wonder of baseball, the Jo greatest rookie anyone had ever seen. The kid from gr CCalico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run after home run. ho CCalico Joe quickly became the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son fa of a hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would change their lives forever… In John Grisham’s new novel the baseball is thrilling, but it’s what happens off the field that makes CALICO JOE a classic.
