Enderby faces doctor crunch

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Students prepare for closure RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Ashton Creek residents are experiencing an emotional roller-coaster after learning the heart of their community will cease to exist.

North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees voted Tuesday to permanently shut down Ashton Creek Elementary because of low enrolment.

“They cried at first. We shed some tears,” said Diane Minaker of her two children who attend the school.

“But I told them there are things they can do at M.V. Beattie (in Enderby) and they will enjoy it.”

Parent Crystal Cunningham had presented a 159-petition urging that the school remain open.

“It’s disappointing they didn’t listen to the community,” she said, adding that closure could force families to leave Ashton Creek or not move there.

“I don’t know what will happen to the store, the community hall or the church that uses the school.”

VERNON TOYOTA

The school has 33 students in two, four-grade split classrooms.

Parents say the smaller atmosphere has allowed for more one-on-one learning and the children establishing strong relationships. There is a concern that may be lost at Beattie (235 students).

Busing is also a concern because while Enderby is 10 kilometres away from Ashton Creek school, many students are another 25 kilometres away at Kingfisher.

Others live in the Trinity Valley.

“The district says there will be a 20-minute earlier bus ride (before school) and a 20-minute later ride (after school),” said Cunningham.

“That’s going to upset a lot of people because some parents don’t get to spend a lot of time with their kids as it is.”

The only vote against closing the school came from Chris Coers, the Enderby area trustee.

“There were too many concerns over enrolment and finances that folks couldn’t overcome,” she said. “I’m sorry it went that way.”

DL# 30382

Bobbi Johnson, school district chairperson, says she was considering the long-term needs of students when she voted to close the school.

“You have to look at the cost and what you have to put into it to provide a good education,” she said, adding that while there have been extra resources, that was unlikely next year because of funding.

Johnson also doesn’t support fourgrade splits.

“Learning outcomes are different when you have such a broad scope (of students together).”

Johnson doesn’t believe longer bus rides will negatively impact students.

“We’re in a wide-spread district and lots of kids do that,” she said.

Plans for the closure are already underway.

“We want to celebrate all of the good things that have gone on here,” said Barry Dearing, Ashton Creek principal, adding the event will be in June.

“We’re trying to get past staff, parents and students here.”

Enderby is scrambling to prevent a looming shortage of physicians.

The Enderby Health Centre recently lost one doctor who has taken up new duties in Vernon, while another is retiring in June and the third doctor at the centre is moving to Vancouver in September.

“It’s an enormous concern for our community,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. Cyr met with the Interior Health Authority and the Community Advisory Council Wednesday to discuss recruitment of new doctors who would be under contract with IHA at the centre.

“It’s all of our problem and Howie Cyr we have to work together on it,” he said. “We need to promote the good things the community has to offer — the environment and the quality of life.”

Dr. Alan Stewart, IHA’s senior medical director, believes the community should be attractive to new doctors wanting to set up practise.

“It’s got some great selling points,” he said.

A sub-committee will be formed to pursue recruitment and IHA insists there are no plans to close the health centre.

“We are committed to fully staffing the clinic,” said Stewart.

But the facility may ultimately not have three physicians on staff.

“We’re probably looking at a lower number unless something changes,” said Stewart.

“An exodus of physicians gives you the opportunity to revisit how to do things.”

Some patients have followed the doctor to Vernon while many of the retiring physician’s patients live in Armstrong and will move to doctors there.

Stewart says recruitment could be completed by September, either someone physically in Enderby or preparing to relocate.

“I’m hopeful we won’t experience a gap in service.”

Besides the existing doctor who will be practising until September, IHA will utilize a nurse practitioner at the centre and temporary physicians.

Cyr is also confident new doctors can be found, but he admits many other communities are dealing with the same situation.

“It’s a competition. We have to sell ourselves,” he said.

Besides the health centre, there are two doctors at a private clinic in Enderby.

City cancels Earth Day event RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Even Mother Nature takes a backseat during labour disputes.

The City of Vernon has cancelled this year’s Earth Day festivities because local teachers are not participating in extracurricular activities. Teachers and students are key to organizing the event. “The regret and disappointment expressed by all contacted in local schools and at the school district cannot be stressed enough,� said Brooke Marshall, the city’s environmental planner. “This was a difficult decision for everyone involved and we are looking forward to resuming the event next

year.�

Teachers within the Vernon School District withdrew from extracurricular activities like sports teams and clubs after the provincial government mandated a new contract and back-to-work legislation.

As part of Earth Day, a Be the Change rally was organized by local students. “Given the importance of youth participation and co-ordination with the youth rally, staff have significant concern about the success and community relevance of the event in 2012,� said Marshall of the reason for cancellation.

Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe is disappointed that Earth Day has been sidelined this year.

“It’s always sad when job action impacts students’ life experiences.�

The decision to not participate in extracurricular activities is being defended by the Vernon Teachers Association. “There is nothing left for us to do to protest Bill 22,� said Bruce Cummings, VTA president. “Bill 22 is a fundamental change to what education will be like and we have to resist it.�

Extracurricular programs are not part of teachers’ regular duties and they act as volunteers. “They (activities) are near and dear to teachers and it’s hard to stop.

Decisions to stop are not taken lightly,� said Cummings.

In an attempt to jog memories about accused killer Matthew Foerster’s movements Oct. 31, 2011, Mounties have released photos and now video footage they took following his arrest in Collingwood, Ont. In a 19-second clip from April 5, Foerster, 26, is in custody after being brought back to B.C. via RCMP Air Services. “Due to the recently released information regarding arrests made, investigators with the RCMP Southeast District Major Crimes Unit would like to hear from anyone who has not already spoken to investigators with information about any contact they had with Matthew Foerster on Halloween night 2011,� said Cpl Dan Moskaluk, in a release.

Investigators would like to establish a time line of his travels and activities from December 2011 up to the end of March 2012.

Foerster is charged with second degree murder relating to the Halloween death of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest. She was found badly injured Oct. 31, 2011 on train tracks near her home by friends and family. She succumbed to her injuries later that night in Kelowna General Hospital.

In addition to second degree murder, Foerster faces charges stemming from an alleged attack at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden escort agency April 12, 2005 and an alleged Cherryville home invasion Oct. 19, 2004.

A specially created tip line has been established for this investigation. The number is 1-888-688-4264.

Foerster’s father, Stephen Roy Foerster, 58, of Cherryville, made his first appearance in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday.

Stephen Foerster is charged with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact in connection with the Van Diest homicide.

Stephen Foerster is remanded in custody and made his first appearance by video. His matter was put over for one week, and he will next appear in provincial court April 18.

to cut a Lavington gravel operation short.

Coldstream Ranch wants to extend its Rosebush gravel pit mining and land reclamation closer to Buchanan Road. But to do so, it needs the District of Coldstream to forward a non-farm use application to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Coldstream politicians agreed Tuesday to send the application to the ALC, but with a list of a dozen recommendations.

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

Coldstream politicians have agreed to send Coldstream Ranch’s application for non-farm use at its Rosebush gravel pit in Lavington to the Agricultural Land Commission, under certain conditions. application, to prevent any future applications from coming forward.

This is the ranch’s third phase of gravel extraction and land improvement.

Work initially started at the pit in 1995 and is geared at improving the agricultural capability of the land.

“At the end of phase three we will do a more comprehensive look at phase four,” said Ted Osborn, director of projects with the ranch. “By that time, quite a bit of

the area to the south will be reclaimed.”

Even though the ranch has plans for a fourth phase, Coldstream politicians are trying to make phase three the final chapter of mining in the area.

“I would like to see phase three be mined so that a phase four isn’t necessary,” said Coun.

Pat Cochrane, who was echoed by Coun. Maria Besso.

Osborn says ultimately, the final decision will

be up to the ALC, which is expected to discuss the matter in June. But he did say the recommendations will be looked at as the project proceeds.

He also noted that, like some politicians and neighbours, the ranch would also like to wrap up its gravel pit operations sooner than later.

“As far as the ranch is concerned, the sooner the better, but it depends on sale movement and what goes in and so on,” said Osborn.

short time later, and a third report came in that he was near Mt. Grady Road around 2:45.

Thanks to the efforts of about 30 volunteers from Vernon Search and Rescue going door-todoor in the Middleton area, the mystery of the missing boy was solved.

“It appears the young fellow, eight-years-old, became upset at home and decided to walk to his grandmother’s house on Middleton Mountain,” said Molendyk. “He made it there, and was taken back home to his house in the East Hill area of the city by relatives.”

When the Search and Rescue personnel conducted inquiries at homes in the Middleton Mountain area, the grandmother advised them the description sounded like her grandson and told them what happened.

The boy was confirmed to be home safe and sound.

News Senior centre gains $15,000 boost

AGM

RICHARD ROLKE

“They are well aware of the adjustments they have to make on their expense side.”

The Schubert Centre will receive a hand.

Vernon council has approved a $15,000 grant to the seniors’ organization, which has been experiencing financial challenges.

“It’s a one-time grant,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

The centre had asked the city to waive water, sewage and property taxes annually, but city officials were concerned that would set a precedent.

Financial problems forced the Schubert Centre to seek assistance in 2009 and at that time, the city agreed to $15,000 annually for three years.

The centre has a debt load in excess of $100,000, and it is largely a result of a loan related to kitchen renovations, provincial Bingo revenue being cancelled and an audit leading to $100,000 in GST being paid to the federal government in 2006.

Opposition to providing the $15,000 came from Coun. Bob Spiers.

More hammers swinging in 2012

Coun. Patrick Nicol believes the non-profit society is realistic about its situation.

“They are well aware of the adjustments they have to make on their expense side,” he said.

In a related matter, the Schubert Centre’s proposal for new seniors housing continues to move ahead.

Official community plan and zoning changes are being sought from the city so the society can constrict two residential buildings on its 30th Avenue property.

About 2,150-square-metres of the city-owned Luc Girouard Park, also known as the Rock, is required for the project.

The city held a public hearing to gather input on the proposed OCP and zoning amendments but no one attended.

Construction activity is picking up in the North Okanagan.

According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, there were 14 housing starts in March, a 40 per cent increase compared to 10 during the same month in 2011.

Of the 14 starts, there were 12 single-detached units and two multiple units.

Year-to-date, there have been 39 housing stars in Vernon, a 95 per cent increase compared to 20 starts during the first three months of 2011.

“Raising this membership fee by $15 would raise $18,000 annually and more than make up their request for taxpayers money.

They have a business model problem that can be addressed by increasing revenue that will make them self-sustaining in the future as they were in the past.”

The city is encouraging the Schubert Centre to apply for a 100 per cent property tax exemption under the social services category. It currently receives 75 per cent in the educational category.

Council also wants Schubert Centre officials to seek assistance from the business community on how to improve its financial model.

Discovering Peru

C

an’t say Peru was ever really on my bucket list, but now that I’ve been there, it probably should have been.

I ventured there for two fun-filled, actionpacked weeks, and left feeling I could have used at least another month to properly explore this amazing South American gem.

Because of the short time line – including a day’s travel each way – we had to squeeze a lot into two weeks. This included a number of overnight bus rides and zero rest days.

After arriving in Lima, we hopped a short internal flight to the Amazon to begin our tour with a stay at a jungle-scaped resort right on the Madre de Dios River near Puerto Maldonado. Our group was assigned a guide, who led us on several hikes to identify a seemingly endGraeme Corbett less array of plant and animal life. We also went on a nocturnal boat trip to spot caimen (small alligators) along the river bank.

The highlight of the Amazon was a muddy day hike through Tambopata National Reserve, followed by a canoe trip on Sandoval Lake to see giant river otters, monkeys and exotic birds.

The anti-highlight was having to get up extra early on our departure day to avoid a potentially violent miners’ strike in Puerto Maldonado.

After that, it was back to Lima (our itinerary was anything but streamlined) to catch an overnight bus to Nasca, where I boarded my first-ever Cessna to fly over the famed Nasca lines. Designated a UNESCO world heritage site in 1994, the lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs in the shape of animals – hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys and fish – best seen from above. As a word of caution, if you have a sensitive stomach, bring Gravol as the pilots like to make sure both sides of the plane get a great view of the lines (just think about that for a moment).

Once we touched down at the airport, we were immediately whisked away in a dune buggy (it looked like it had been driven off the set of the Road Warrior) for some sandboard-

AT RANDOM

ing. Our driver gave a us good thrill with some savvy desert driving on the back roads, but then proceeded to get stuck axle-deep once we hit the dunes. We had to help dig him out, but had a blast sandboarding (it’s more like surfing) and all was forgiven.

After that, it was back to Lima (again) for another flight to Cusco to catch another overnight bus to Puno. The one good thing I can say about this whirlwind approach to travel is you save money on accommodation (and the buses are actually quite comfortable).

Puno sits more than 3,800 metres above sea level (by comparison, Silver Star is 1,915 m), at which point altitude sickness becomes a serious consideration. One of our traveling companions looked like a zombie coming off the bus and was bedridden for the day while we ventured on a boat tour of Lake Titicaca.

He didn’t miss much because, while the lake is beautiful and it was surreal to visit indigenous people who live on the floating islands of Uros (the islands are built of reeds), the experience felt slightly exploitative.

Saving the best for last, we headed back to Cusco in preparation for the four-day, highelevation trek into Machu Picchu, yet another UNESCO site.

Cusco itself is worth the visit. There are loads of markets and shops where you can practise your bartering skills to buy all things alpaca, take a chocolate making workshop or you can eat like a king for relatively cheap at one of dozens of great little restaurants hidden amongst the bustling city’s cobblestoned side streets and plazas.

While it is possible to train to the base of Machu Picchu and take a 20-minute bus ride to the top, I found the trek to be just as rewarding as the final destination – 42km in length, it literally is a marathon. And being up at 4,200m is like breathing through a straw, but once you climb through the sun gate on the morning of the fourth day and look down on Machu Picchu (provided it isn’t smothered in fog), it is breathtaking (in more ways than one).

If you are looking for an adventure where the people are friendly, the food is great and you can experience a wide range of geography and culture, Peru is worth a look.

Ashton Creek Elementary students and parents may have lost a battle, but it doesn’t mean they’ve lost the war.

Despite nearly 160 signatures on a petition, parents and students learned this week that the school will be closed at the end of the year by the North Okanagan-Shuswap school district due to declining enrolment.

There are currently 33 students in two, four-grade split classes at Ashton Creek, with trustees concerned those numbers would decrease further next year.

Parents and students are rightfully upset with the news, especially in such a small community where the school is often the hub of activity.

There are concerns about a lack of one-on-one time with teachers, and about longer bus rides now for the kids.

So while Ashton Creek residents get over the shock, they should take heed that the school district has closed three other elementary schools since 2000, schools that were equally important to their community and residents, and their students moved on to other schools.

The school district did everything to make sure the transition for students was smooth, and they’ll do it in this case as well.

The three schools – two in Salmon Arm, one in Malakwa – are now being used by the communities as activity centres, alternate schools, a lending library and even a post office branch.

In other words, the community rallied and put the school to good use, rather than see it sit vacant and collecting dust and rust.

Working with the school district or other groups could help Ashton Creek residents find another use for the school, one that benefits all and has the building again being the hub of the community.

OAS changes must be made

I

am writing in response to the letter of Roger Westlake captioned “No Age Raise” for OAS, that appeared recently in The Morning Star. I disagree completely with his rationale and position.

First, some history for those who may not remember – OAS was introduced in the mid 60’s to assist low income seniors with their retirement years. CCP and RSP plans had just been introduced, and workers generally had to rely on company pension plans to carry them into retirement.

Many did not have such plans on which to fall back, so OAS was introduced.

It is an actuarial fact that men in the 1960’s (at this time in our history, women were not a real factor in considering provisions for retirement) worked until age 65, and died, on average, by age 67. These government sponsored plans (CPP and OAS) were never designed, or expected, to fund

TRAPPING ISSUE I am a little unsure about the main objections of the group(s) wanting to ban animal traps in the City of Vernon. It appears to me that if they get the approval of the City of Vernon as well as other cities and municipalities in B.C., they will attack trapping on a provincewide basis.

In the case of the City of Vernon, they could best handle this situation by passing a by-law that would make it an offence for anyone other than a licenced B.C. trapper (having taken the province of B.C. approved training) to trap animals.

Conscientiously minded registered trappers do not set traps where there is a chance of public or pet conflict. If it is necessary to use traps in a populated area, for beaver, for example, traps are set in the water late at night and removed at daybreak.

The most likely source of conflict could come from unknowledgeable residents using old traps which are illegal to use in the fur

people living into their 80’s, or longer.

CPP underwent a much needed overhaul in the 1990’s, with contributions raised significantly, to ensure that it would remain sound for all of the Canadians now living 20 – 30 years after the official retirement age of 65.

OAS, in particular, was intended to assist low income seniors to get trapping industry.

As a 70-year-old registered trapper, I remembered an article on the formation of the Association for the Protection of Fur Bearing Animals. If I can go back before the formation of this association, there was a woman in Victoria, B.C., Clara Van Steenwyck, who wrote a trapper by the name of Frank Conibear and provided him with $800 to develop his trap. In the 1940s, the Association for the Protection of Fur Bearing Animals was formed. The president was the long-time provincial legislator E.E. Winch and Van Steenwyck became vice-president. E. Webster was secretary-treasurer. Their main focus was to fund the development of a humane animal trap.

Conibear traps were field tested in B.C. and were patented in Canada and the U.S.A. They were mass produced in the late 1950s and became world renowned as the No. 1 humane trap. I own a prototype Conibear trap and have been familiar with and have used the production models with their

by, but assumed a much shorter lifespan. Later, the Guaranteed Income Supplement was added to the array of taxpayer-funded support for seniors, and it also suffers from the same challenge.

Unlike CPP, OAS/GIS is directly supported by the taxpayer.

By 2030, the plan, as currently structured, will be unsustainable.

Changes must be made. Not only numerous improvements for more than 50 years.

Albert Hanson ANTI TIME CHANGE I moan about this every year when the command comes to move our clocks forward the mandatory hour and all us little lemmings dutifully bow down and rearrange our lives, one more time. This year I thought it was time I voiced my moan and see how many others agree with me.

Does anybody ever consider how completely insane it is to reshuffle time? It’s been proven that suicide and accidents rise during this time so why do we keep doing it? I’ve lived long enough to remember when we didn’t do it. Our lives followed the natural bent of the seasons and we flowed naturally from winter to spring to summer to fall without a hitch.

We live in an age of tremendous stress. Everybody knows it, so why do we deliberately add one more large stress? We could vote on it and if the majority decided to keep

do I completely agree with increasing the OAS eligibility limit to age 67 (and maybe age 68!), the level at which the payment is “clawed back” through the tax system must also be significantly reduced, from the current level of approximately $68,000 in taxable income per individual, to say $48,000.

The income tax “clawback” should ensure that no individual retired senior receives tax-funded support if they earn more than $54,000 in taxable income per year. Remember – this taxpayersupported plan is intended to assist low income seniors with their retirement years, and people earning $54,000 in taxable income per year from other sources simply do not meet the test of “low income.”

By increasing the age to qualify, and significantly reducing the “clawback” level, the program may be there for those who truly need it, for as long as they need it.

As for the statement that elected MP’s and senators seem to get “special treatment,” so we also should be somehow be “entitled,” that’s just an argument without merit.

If you don’t like what our elected officials receive, that’s an entirely different question, and has nothing to do with the OAS review. No one should be “entitled” to receive tax support (OAS), which will have to be funded by our children and a significantly reduced workforce by 2030, without any regard for the consequences that are both serious and looming.

I hope that Canadians, in general, have not fallen to that level of selfishness. A reasonable review of OAS is needed, and is probably overdue. I will be phoning my MP to encourage him to fully support these changes.

We owe it to our kids, and ourselves.

Dave Murison

it, why not have it year round?

To tell the truth, I’d sooner have that extra hour in the fall anyway.

It’s not fun the way the loss of that hour dumps us overnight into darkness at 4:30 instead of 5:30.

We don’t get a chance to adapt to it, we just fall into that black hole as if it was good for us. I’m too long in the tooth and too stressed to take up the banner and lead the way but perhaps someone younger and more energetic might read this and decide to take up the cry and deliver us from this hex. But whatever, I’ve had my moan and as for me, I’m not doing it anymore.

All of the clocks and watches in our abode will remain where they are and I will ignore it from now on. I’ll forget and be late somewhere on occasion, but what the hay, that’s not a biggee unless I make it so. Life is for living, not for following nonsensical orders. So, I’ve said it and I’m glad. Rise up, fellow lemmings, and let’s get rid of daylight saving completely and forever, one way or another.

Coldstream residents will be handing over an extra $57 to the tax man this year.

A tax hike of 6.59 per cent is set for 2012 and is expected to be adopted at Coldstream council’s April 23 meeting.

For the average home in Coldstream ($447,000), the total municipal tax amount is $975.

The rate hike includes the 1.34 per cent increase for the borrowing of funds for the new mechanic shop.

Some of the factors that have led to the increase include reduced revenues, a legal fee contingency, new RCMP contract, increased transit costs, additional net operating costs, interest for the mechanic shop borrowing funds, a boost to the machinery and equipment reserve fund,

Lumby rejects grant for event RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lumby area politicians insist they aren’t in a position to do any more for a music festival.

The White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee will not provide a $375 grant to offset facility rental fees for the Wild Salmon Music Festival.

“There has already been money provided to the Monashee Arts Council and there is about $2,200 for the festival,” said director Randal Ostafichuk.

“The application was also way past deadline. The 2012 budget has already been through its process.”

Grant application requests had to be submitted

by Sept. 30, 2011.

“They will apply early for next year and get their foot in the door,” said Ostafichuk.

Wild Salmon organizers have also shown interest in participating in development of a stage in Oval Park.

Ostafichuk hopes other groups may also come together to pursue a stage as a community asset.

“We don’t want to exclude anyone. We want to put together some ideas and select the best of the bunch,” he said.

K i n d a l e D e v e l o p m e n t Association has unveiled its expansion plans.

The organization owns two lots on Patterson Avenue in Armstrong, and plans to amalgamate the lots in order to construct a new two-storey building.

“The main floor will include 6,200 square feet of Kindale office space,” said George Wellwood, Kindale spokesperson.

“The second floor will feature seven apartments.”

If passed by Armstrong council, the apartments would include four onebedroom suites, two two-bedroom apartments and one threebedroom.

The aim, said Wellwood, would be to have the apartments fit under the affordable housing umbrella.

Kindale has applied to the city to amend an official community plan bylaw that would change the land

owns the Bechtold Centre which is on the Patterson Avenue lots and will remain there.

The centre houses the Kindale Thrift Store on the main level, a major money generator for Kindale for charitable and nonprofit enterprises.

The lower level features a Kindale community living centre.

Kindale’s administration offices, currently housed in the Century 21 building in Armstrong, would move to the newly constructed building.

Another large North Okanagan marijuana grow operation has been dismantled.

Members from the Lumby RCMP executed a search warrant Tuesday morning at an address on Holmes Road in Cherryville.

“Our officers located 2,777 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, along with associated growing equipment,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Police also discovered a Hydro bypass, which Molendyk said brings a safety con-

cern into the equation.

“When the individual bypasses the electrical system to steal power, they put themselves and anyone who enters the grow operation at risk,” he said.

“The Electrical Distributors Association indicates that grow operations can consume upwards of 300 kilowatt-hours per day, which is 10 times the average household electricity consumption.”

Molendyk said the obvious concern is that transformers are often unequipped to handle such high loads, and most

often the wiring is not grounded properly, or tied into a breaker system.

“The likelihood of fire in a grow operations is 40 times greater than a private dwelling,” he added. “Quite often chemicals are stored at grow operations, including liquid nutrients, fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides that could create toxic smoke if ignited.

“There is also the risk of chemical spills at grow operations.”

Nobody was home at the time of the police search, and the file remains under investigation.

Vernon council voted 4-3 not to provide a $250 grant to the organizers of the 2012 Golden Gloves tournament April 21 and 22.

“I personally don’t support boxing,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham.

Beyond concerns about boxing itself, Cunningham says she has concerns about using taxpayers’ money that way.

B.C.’s oldest continuously running farmer’s market is asking for a financial break.

The Armstrong Farmer’s Market has requested that an annual fee of approximately $2,350 to cover the use of the parking lot on the IPE grounds from April 28 to Oct. 27 be waived this year and into the future. “The annual cost of renting the grounds for our ongoing operations has become an inordinate percentage of our running expenses,� wrote Cat Majors, vicepresident of the farmer’s market, in a two-page letter to council.

Majors said the organization is “finding it a great challenge to keep up with the rising costs of our operations,� and, for the first time, they are operating at a deficit.

Started in 1973, the Armstrong Farmer’s Market provides an entertaining social event for everyone every Saturday right in the heart of the city from late April to October.

It’s very existence, wrote Majors, “substantially enhances the important issue of food security in our region.� “It simply is the essence of a ‘Shopping Locally’ experience,� added Majors.

The Armstrong Farmer’s Market pointed out that its neighbours at the Vernon Farmer’s Market pay only $1 a year for the use of the Wesbild Centre parking lot.

Unfortunately for the farmer’s market, they directed the letter to the wrong group. “This is a matter for parks and recreation because it’s located on the IPE grounds,� explained Coun. Kelly Rowe, who sits on the city’s finance and administration committee.

The city will send the letter to parks and recreation to discuss at its next meeting, Wednesday, April 25.

Tigers back in action Morning Star Staff

JOSÉ LAROCHELLE/MORNING STAR

Josh Cooper (left) attempts to break through fellow teammates Bryan Bateman (front) and Geoff Cranton during a Vernon Jackals rugby practice Tuesday night at Grahame Park. The Jackals begin Okanagan Rugby Union play against the Penticton Harlequins, Saturday, 1:30 p.m., at Grahame Park.

Jackals jumpstart rugby season Morning Star Staff

They worship Adam Kleeberger, whose epic beard and tackling prowess made him a Team Canada celebrity in the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.

They train hard, play hard and enjoy a soda or two after 80 minutes of sweat-till-ya-drop action.

Meet the Vernon Rugby Club, also known as the Jackals.

The two-time defending Okanagan Rugby Union champions open the 2012 season Saturday (1:30 p.m., Grahame Park) against the Penticton Harlequins.

Veteran Mike Scheller, whose great, great grandfather reportedly helped found the Rugby Football Union in 1871, is high on the team’s talent, led by the forwards.

“We have a lot of depth in our forward pack, and some solid athletes,” said Scheller. “Our back row (flankers and eighth man) are all solid tacklers and ball carriers. Flanker Dan Eyles was our best player last year game in and game out, and he is in fine shape this year as well.

“Our two props – Jarrod Stinn and Bryan Bateman – will both have big seasons for us, and lock Geoff Cranton will provide some big hits for us. In the backs, our tandem of standoff Rob Miles and inside centre Josh Cooper retain the ball very well, and are both very consistent performers.”

The Jackals, who carry about a

dozen Fulton Maroons alumni since Scheller has coached the senior high school team for two decades, will welcome a few newbies this season.

“Eric Sundquist (hooker) and Mitch Davis (scrum half) are two new players who could make an impact for us this year. Both are young, but have had some experience playing men’s rugby, but not much.”

Miles, a Welshman, will captain the Jackals, who play for the love of the game and camaraderie. The physical aspect is also alluring.

“Rugby is one collision sport played at an adult level that still allows you to hit, and play the game without modified rules,” said Scheller. “I think that attracts people to play, plus the fitness benefits of the game. Also, we have a very good time as a club, and most of the guys hang out together off the field and in the off season.”

Kelowna, Merritt and West Kelowna round out the Okanagan Union.

The Jackals will attend two tournaments this year: the Missoula Maggotfest, in early May, is one of the biggest rugby tournaments in the world; and the Penticton Sunfest tournament, June 9-10.

Scheller has no problems poking fun at himself at being one of the ageless veterans.

“This will be my 23rd year playing with the club and I continue to get crappier every year. I have served as

JOSÉ LAROCHELLE/MORNING STAR

Vernon Jackals’ Wes Fitzsimmons (right) and Eric Sundqvist practise throwing drills. president and player/coach for about 16 of those years. I have put the time into rugby because it is a great way

to spend a spring and summer, and I have met a lot of great people world wide in this game.”

The Vernon Re/Max Tigers will get a boost on offence when they open their Junior B box lacrosse season with an exhibition tilt against the Richmond Jr. B Roadrunners Sunday, 11 a.m. at Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong.

Vernon’s Ryan Landels, who played last season with the Edmonton Eclipse of the Alberta Junior A league, will join the Cats for the 2012 campaign.

“I saw him at practice and it looks like a year of Junior A did him a lot of good,” said head coach Myles Brumpton.

Augmenting a solid returning crop of veterans are North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse grads Jordan Orr, Ryan Sarazin, Mason Limb, Sean Connors and Liam McPhee.

“We’ve got our core coming back, which is good,” said Brumpton.

“We don’t have to reestablish any of our processes; everything is already set.”

With a handful of players still away at school, the Tigers will be shortbenched this weekend, but once they are at full strength, Brumpton believes they will field a competitive squad.

The Roadrunners, who tangle with the Armstrong Jr. Shamrocks Saturday night (7:30) at NorVal, were one of the top Junior B teams in the coastal loop last season.

“We’re not putting a lot of stock into this weekend,” said Brumpton. “It’s just a good opportunity to assess their conditioning and see how the newer recruits come in and play through traffic.”

The Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League’s annual Ice Breaker tournament goes next weekend.

Mick lands gig in SilverBack stable Leaves POE academy for BCHL KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Troy Mick spent part of his spring break tweaking his hockey resume.

After two years running the Pursuit of Excellence academy in Kelowna, he wanted back in the Junior hockey business.

Shortly after he e-mailed a few teams around the B.C. Hockey League, opportunity knocked. Mick, 43, was named head coach/GM of the Salmon Arm SilverBacks Wednesday afternoon at the Shaw Centre.

“I sent out resumes and all of a sudden, I got a hit,” said Mick, born and raised in Vernon. “It was kind of badda bing, badda boom and we had the press conference yesterday. It happened really quick. They wanted an experienced guy that’s been there and done that, and I wanted to get one of the top teams so being 25 minutes from my backyard in Armstrong pretty much made a lot of sense to try and make a deal work.”

Mick, who led the Vernon Vipers to the 1999 Royal Bank Cup title before coaching with the Portland Winterhawks, Tri-City Americans and Kamloops Blazers, sported a SilverBacks’ purple shirt and tie as he addressed media and fans in the Shuswap.

“The games between Vernon will be a little bit more exciting,” he predicted with a grin. “A little more meaningful.”

The Vipers, coached by Jason Williamson, called up Mick’s 15-yearold son, Logan, for a game last season.

Logan, who was second in scoring with 12-16-28 on the POE Midget team, will attend the Vipers’ camp this summer.

“Willy was my captain when I coached in Vernon so now you have a coach, captain and a son that could potentially be playing against each other,” laughed Troy, a 1988 Pittsburgh Penguin seventh-round draft pick after compiling 63 goals and 147 points in Portland.

Mick, who led the Junior B

Vernon

Revelstoke Grizzlies to a western Canadian title three years ago, was ready for a change after the heavy academy workload. He starts his new job Monday.

“Pursuit was a real eye-opener as far as looking after 110 kids and 200 parents and working 18-hour days and driving from Armstrong to Kelowna every day after two years, just more or less kind of caught up with me.

“And no question about it, I think it made me a better coach. When you’re doing 10 hours a week of practice plans and five hours a week of off-ice skills and gym. In Juniors, you’re lucky if you’re on the ice half of that for practice so I think I learned a lot, I developed a lot and more importantly, I met a lot of great people along the way doing that kind of job.”

Mick was nearly vibrating with energy and enthusiasm as he said he believes in the vision of owners Randy and Terry Williams – to win a national championship.

In addition to his new coaching and GM duties, Mick is a business partner with the Williams, a husband-and-wife team. Mick signed a five-year contract.

“I’m ready to go forward, I’m ready to dig in,” he said, explaining that he wants to hear from and respond to the community. He has backed that up by setting up an e-mail account where people can direct any questions or comments.

Accompanied to the media conference by his 17-year-old daughter Tiffany, Mick said most important to him is his family, noting he and his spouse Roxanne have been married for 21 years. Troy proposed to Roxanne on an arena scoreboard while playing minor pro in Knoxville.

He said the SilverBacks organization, with its fans, sponsors, and volunteers will become part of that family.

Vees victorious Morning Star Staff/B.C. Hockey League

The Powell River Kings are starting to resemble the Buffalo Bills of the B.C. Hockey League.

Four straight appearances in a Fred Page Cup final, with no hardware to show for it (the Bills went to four consecutive Super Bowls with a similar result).

For the second straight year, the Kings were swept in the best-of-seven championship series, ending with Wednesday’s 3-2 home loss to the Penticton Vees in Game 4 at Hap Parker Arena.

The Vees’ Curtis Loik fired the winner 13:08 into the second period, with other Penticton offence coming from Wade Murphy and Ryan Reilly.

Murphy recorded the overtime winner as the Vees stung the Kings 4-3 in Game 3 Tuesday night.

Michael Garteig, Penticton’s starter all season before getting injured late in the year, was thrilled to be part of the experience despite not playing.

“Just dressing for the last two games is pretty special,” said Garteig, who played with Powell River last season when they were swept by the Vernon Vipers.

Garteig couldn’t help but be impressed by the performance of his replacement, Chad Katunar.

“He did awesome. He did everything we asked him to do. I think with each game our team gained more confidence in him. I personally think he stole a couple of games and he was one of our best players, if not our best.”

The Vees now await the winner of the AJHL’s Enerflex Cup. The Brooks Bandits

and Fort McMurray Oil Barons are tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven set heading into Game 5 Thursday night. Game 6 goes Saturday.

The AJHL winner will host Game 1 of Doyle Cup regional series April 20.

Meanwhile, the BCHL has announced the schedule for the Western Canada Cup (WCC), which will replace the Doyle Cup series next season. The Nanaimo Clippers will host the inaugural tournament, April 26 to May 5, 2013.

With two teams from the WCC qualifying for the 2013 RBC Cup, an anticlimactic final – which would result from a traditional round-robin and playoff-style tournament – was avoided due to the unique format created by Clippers’ gameday operations manager Kyle Anderson, a Vernon native, through working with Clippers’ head coach Mike Vandekamp.

After researching dozens of past Junior A tournament formats, Anderson made a schedule that is fair for all five teams and ensures there is something on the line in each of the final three games of the event.

“I looked back on some past RBC Cups and there was always one team that had to play three days in a row and it was always the team that had the first day off,” noted Anderson. “We found a way to eliminate the chance of any team playing three days in a row by selectively scheduling those two dates where only one game is played.”

Also helping with the competitive balance of the WCC is that the first- and second-place teams after the round robin

Penticton Vees’ captain Logan Johnston is all smiles as he hoists the Fred Page Cup Wednesday night in Powell River. The Vees swept the Kings in their best-of-seven championship series. will then have to be defeated twice in the playoff round to be eliminated.

“In past RBC tournaments with #1 versus #4 and #2 versus #3, only 60 per cent of the time did the top-two teams out of the round robin actually face each other in the final,” said Anderson. “We felt it wasn’t fair, since we’re sending two teams, that a team could win less games and still go to the RBC Cup.” The champion of the inaugural WCC will be determined in the #1 versus #2 game on Saturday, May 4th.

Orphans spook Preds in Game 1 Morning Star Staff

They accounted for 109 goals in the regular season, almost half of the first-place R.E. Postill & Sons Orphans’ offence.

Bryce Kakoske and Leath Gare are the most dangerous linemates in the Vernon Hockey League and they supplied all the goals Wednesday night as the Orphans rallied to stop the Godard Excavating Predators 5-4 at Priest Valley Arena.

Game 2 in the bestof-three playoff championship went Thursday night at PV. A third game, if necessary, would go Sunday, 6:15 p.m., at the Wesbild Centre.

Gare, who racked up 40 goals in a solid college career with the Concordia Thunder after pocketing 33 goals with the BCHL Prince George Spruce Kings, earned 3+1 Wednesday.

Kakoske, who helped the Vernon Vipers win two national titles, added 2+2 for the Orphans,

who were missing five regulars, including veteran centre Rob Bauml, in Boston for an insurance company tournament.

Ryan Kurbis managed two helpers for the 20-7-0-3 Orphans, who trailed 2-1 at the break.

Gare opened the scoring at 10:43 on a shorthanded breakaway after taking a feed from d-man Jeff Ovington, who picked off a Predator pass.

Luc Blinkhorn equalized 87 seconds later

when he buried his own rebound past Jason Silzer.

Matt Litzenberger put the Preds up with 2:03 left in the first, seven seconds into a hooking penalty assessed Orphan blueliner Joe Dolling.

Assists went to Kenny Johnstone and Tyler Willms.

The teams swapped goals a few times in the second period before Kakoske got the winning snipe at 2:36, assisted by Kurbis and Dolling.

Justin Horochuk

scored twice for the fifth-place Preds (18-100-2).

The Orphans took three of five minor penalties. Each team had 31 shots.

Meanwhile, a total of 36 teams begin play tonight in the annual Checkers Rec Hockey Tournament.

There are a dozen women’s teams, including the Armstrong league champion BuyLow Vixens. Games go all weekend at all three Vernon rinks.

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles.

RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle.

Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit).

Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind.

Get coverage.

RVs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles.

You’ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and DIANE insure them MARSHALL accordingly.

For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. It's important to reconsider the value every year: Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy.

Get it right the first time.

The right coverage is critical.

A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage.

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if you’re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance.

Youngberg takes 10th Morning Star Staff

Anton Youngberg of the Vernon Ski Club placed 10th in the K1 male Kombi event at the 20th Annual Whistler Cup last weekend.

In a field of 100 male racers from all over the world, the K1 rookie laid down a blistering run of 44.77 seconds. The Kombi event is only one run, instead of a combined time two-run format used in slalom and giant slalom.

“There is only one chance, and you have to nail it the first time,” said Vernon head coach Ian Chernencoff.

Youngberg was joined by teammates Langdon Kersey, Jaden Parsons and Gavin Donald (16th place in slalom).

The Whistler Cup, presented by Rio Tinto Alcan, is an international event for ski racers generally aged 13 and 14 in the K2 category and aged 11 and 12 in the K1.

It features 350 skiers from 18 countries. World Cup skiers who have participated in years past include Canada’s Erik Guay and Mielzynski, plus international stars including Slovenia’s Tina Maze, Sweden’s Anja Pärson and Benjamin Raich of Austria.

The 2012 Whistler Cup was awarded to the best nation’s team – Switzerland. Canada placed second and Italy third.

Meanwhile, Silver Star Freestyle Club athletes soared at the B.C. Freestyle Ski Championships last weekend at Mt. Washington Resort near Comox.

Elena Gaskell, in the 8-9-year-old girls category, wrapped up a fantastic season with gold in slopestyle. She won all three previous slopestyle events in the B.C. Series.

After crashing in her first run, Gaskell laid down a solid second run with the biggest air points on the day to secure silver.

Jamie Rykuiter, in the 10-11 girls, continued her success in moguls with her second bronze (and fourth podium) of the season.

On the boys side, Tanner Gordon and Jake Ondrik, racing in a stacked 14-15 boys division, struck silver and bronze respectively in slopestyle.

In the 10-11 age bracket, Declan Stevenson and Josiah Gaskell, coached by Gavin Henry, executed solid runs to take gold and bronze respectively. It was Stevenson’s second gold this year. After being hampered by injuries much of the season, Josiah Gaskell returned to top form just in time to reach the podium.

Thomas Pool, a Silver Star Freestyle graduate now with Team B.C., racked up the highest slopestyle score of the contest to secure gold in the men’s 16-17 division.

RUGBY ROUNDUP

Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike.

Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs.

Westside Road is a concern for many local motorists.

B.C. roads get a rough ride Morning Star Staff

CHOOSE ONE: Help a dying patient control pain Change a dressing for a patient discharged yesterday Call distressed family whose elderly parent just fell Hire more nurses

With more patients than ever, nurses are forced to make difficult choices about who receives care first. When it comes to safer care, the choice is clear: hire more nurses.

Support better care at safecarenow.ca

If you travel on what you think is the worst road in the province, the B.C. Automobile Association wants to hear about it.

Until April 23, you’re invited to vote for the road in your community or on your commute that you feel is most in need of repair or redesign, as part of BCAA’s second Worst Roads campaign. The organization wants to help you voice concerns about congestion, potholes, road signs, traffic lights or pedestrian and cycling safety.

Last year, Enderby’s Mabel Lake Road took the second spot on the list of worst roads, but to date nothing has been done to improve the road.

So far this year, Westside Road (which runs along Okanagan Lake between Kelowna and Vernon) is ranked as the top worst road in the campaign.

You can nominate or vote for your worst road by visiting bcaa.com/worstroads “As a motorist, cyclist or pedestrian, roads that are deteriorating, inadequately maintained or poorly designed affect your pocketbook, stress level and personal safety,” said Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice-president of Road Assist.

“By voting, you can draw some attention to rough, unsafe or inefficient roads in your community.”

After voting closes, BCAA will share detailed results with municipalities and the Ministry of transportation to ensure they are aware of road users’ concerns, and to find out how they are planning to improve B.C.’s problem roads and highways.

Throughout the campaign, you can check the website bcaa.com/worstroads to see where your road ranks and which roads are close to taking the title of B.C.’s Worst Road. Once final results are tallied, a list of the top 20 Worst Roads in B.C. will be published.

It’s time to become fire smart

L

iving in the Okanagan, we cherish our spectacular summers and their gloriously hot sunny days. Summer is a time to enjoy the beauty and splendor of all that is offered by the Okanagan’s great outdoors.

However, increased human activity in the forest that surrounds us and the drying of its vegetation by hot weather each year increases our chances of having wildfires.

With the right conditions, wildfires can readily burn grass, shrubs, brush, trees and if given the chance, homes.

Every year, all across B.C., interface fires threaten or burn homes, cottages and other high-value resources. If you live in the wildland/urban interface your home may be at risk to wildfire.

Political spotlight falls on Cummins

T

he information age might have sped up B.C. voters’ mood swings, but the basic dynamic hasn’t changed since the days of Social Credit.

When familiarity breeds contempt, people vote to reject the familiar and see what happens.

Or as one radio talkshow caller summed up his decision to climb on board the B.C. Conservative bandwagon, he knows two things about leader John Cummins: “He’s not Adrian Dix and he’s not Christy Clark.”

It’s been more 21 years since Gordon Wilson reshaped B.C. politics and launched the modern-day B.C. Liberal Party with a single quip in a leaders’ debate between a bickering Rita Johnston and Mike Harcourt. Cummins has about a year to show he’s earned his rising poll numbers, and to refute the conventional wisdom that he’s the best friend the NDP has had since Wilson put them in power and later joined them.

So let’s get to know Cummins a bit better. He’s 70, and has an 18-year record as a Reform-AllianceConservative MP. His Ottawa days are mainly remembered for battling treaties and aboriginalonly fisheries, and for being the first Reform MP to reverse himself and take the MP pension. That pension pays him about $100,000 a year as he tries to build a second political career in B.C. Another legacy of Cummins’ federal record is his support for the harmonized sales tax. As he hastens to clarify, he supported Conservative legislation to enter into HST deals with any province, which Ontario and B.C. subsequently did.

Cummins said B.C. could have brought in the HST at a lower rate to reflect its broader reach, as Atlantic provinces did. But they tried to make it a “tax grab”

and now they’ve “poisoned the well” for many years.

“We’re going to have to pay the price I guess, in the sense that where it has been introduced, it has been shown to have grown business,” Cummins said. “Think tanks on both the left and the right have come to that conclusion.”

To me this beats the NDP’s crude coffee-shop populism that simply ignores HST benefits for small business and the poor.

Speaking of crude, Cummins further disTom Fletcher tinguishes himself from the B.C. Liberals by endorsing the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat.

He applauds the federal government for moving to place limits on submissions to federal environment hearings, citing the thousands of Internet sign-ups that have clogged the Northern Gateway hearings.

His record on aboriginal issues suggests he has little sympathy for territorial objections from First Nations, those with treaties or those without.

The April 19 byelections in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope offer a chance for the B.C. Conservatives to present policy alternatives.

So far they’re against gas taxes, especially the carbon tax, against a second Metro Vancouver garbage incinerator, and in favour of fixing the “catch and release” justice system. These are the slogans that stand in for actual policies needed to govern.

Cummins will be going door to door in the byelections, especially in Chilliwack-Hope, where he believes his upstart party has a real shot at winning.

He offers a telling anecdote about the last time he was doorknocking in Port Moody, the premier’s former hometown.

The B.C. Liberals

B.C. VIEWS

have suggested the B.C. Conservatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition.

That wasn’t what

Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found when they first started campaigning.

“She’d say hi, my name is Christine

ns...

Worry Taking theHome Renovatio Out of

Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identi-

fies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name.

Canada’s federal electoral map is changing.

Every 10 years, after the census is conducted, the number of electoral districts and their boundaries are revised to reflect population shifts and growth.

That includes looking at B.C. and the Okanagan-Shuswap electoral district.

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. has been established and it hasbegun its review of the province’s federal electoral districts.

KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

It all started with a portrait.

The mysterious womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face with the haunting eyes, head wrapped in a shroud, a sprig of edelweiss, or other white flower, clasped in her hands.

Displayed on the second floor of the Mackie Lake House, once the home to school teacher Paddy Mackie and his Coldstream pioneering family, this and a number of painted portraits had piqued peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curiosities.

Looking at the back of the canvasses, the one, a self-portrait, plus two others, and a portrait of Paddy himself as a young boy, were all signed by the same artist. A woman named Joyce Frances Devlin, nĂŠe Noble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember Paddy showing the paintings with great flair,â&#x20AC;? said Bernice Nakashima, a former board member of the Mackie Lake House Foundation, who along with her colleagues, has worked to preserve the home as a historical site since Paddy died in 1999. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told us that the artist had made a name for herself in Ottawa.â&#x20AC;?

Looking at the self-portrait years later, Nakashima, who three years ago became responsible for the artist-in-residency program at the Mackie house, decided to track Devlin down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Googled Joyce and found her. I asked why there were four paintings by her in the house.â&#x20AC;?

The story she heard back would be the start of a new relationship â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that would return Devlin back to her roots.

Sitting down to a tea, poured in floral painted porcelain cup, Devlin looks at her surroundings. It has been decades since she stepped inside the Mackie house, and now she has been welcomed back as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artist-in-residence.

It was the late school teacher and tireless historian Anna Cail (nĂŠe Fulton) who first brought Devlin to the Mackieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence to meet Paddy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew of each other. I remember having tea with Paddy many years ago,â&#x20AC;? remembered Devlin, now in her 80th year.

One of five children to Connie and Athelward Noble, Devlin came with her family from Fraser Lake near Prince George to live in Lumby. Her father later set up a planer mill at the base of what is now Noble Canyon in Lavington.

Devlin used to bus into town to attend Vernon High School (later named Clarence Fulton Secondary after Cailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anna Cail was the most influential person in my life at that time. She was my English teacher and taught me poetry. She knew I was a mill kid, but treated me with respect. She always believed in me and supported me.â&#x20AC;?

KRISTIN FRONEMAN/MORNING STAR

Joyce Devlin stands beside the self-portrait she painted of herself decades before. The painting hangs with three of her other portraits in Coldstreamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mackie Lake House, where Devlin is currently the artist-in-residence.

As a nine-year-old, Devlin was taking piano lessons with an elegant British woman named Elizabeth Woods in Lumby, whom she said recognized her artistic talents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She saw one of my drawings and said I should go see Miss Brown,â&#x20AC;? said Devlin, referring to Jean Topham Brown, the late art teacher and original namesake of the Vernon Public Art Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a while, my mother consented, so I started taking the Greyhound bus from Lumby to Vernon to take art lessons at the back of Miss Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house on Barnard Street (now 30th Avenue).â&#x20AC;?

Devlin decided to pursue art further after spending a summer working as a housemaid at the Orchardleigh Lodge (the current site of Summertree On the Lake in Coldstream), which burned down to the ground in 1962. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I became an artist,â&#x20AC;? said Devlin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of that summer, I decided I never wanted to work for anyone else again, so I enrolled in the Vancouver School of Art.â&#x20AC;?

Returning home for summers, Devlin would complete her four-year bachelor of fine

arts in the city, studying abstract, portraiture and landscape painting as well as symbolic imagery from such visionaries as the late Jack Shadbolt, Peter Aspell and Gordon Smith.

She would also discover her faith, after attending a Bahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;i meeting at the Vancouver Hotel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My faith has always influenced my work,â&#x20AC;? explained Devlin, who has since made pilgrimage to Israel and is a devoted follower of BahĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;llĂĄh, the founder of the 19th century religion that emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my teachers taught me the influence of religion in art at school, and I have used this as my modus operandi in my art ever since.â&#x20AC;?

After earning the Emily Carr Scholarship, Devlin travelled to Italy and Britain, where she studied drawing and classical mural design under James B. Michie. She showed her work with the London Group of Painters at the Bristol Museum and exhibited with the National Portrait Society in London.

After returning to Canada, she would get married, and give birth to two sons. When her marriage broke down, Devlin started working

SECTION

arts B !RTIST MAKES A LONG JOURNEY HOME as a portrait artist in Calgary, and her paintings caught the attention of the wife of then Canadian senator John Lang Nichol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She asked the gallery, where my work was showing, whose it was, and they said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nobody.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And she said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; I will not have anyone else do my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portraits,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? remembered Devlin, whose next commission would come from Ottawa.

It was there she was hired to paint the portrait of then prime minister Lester B. Pearson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Pearson) talked about Canada and about its vastness. He wanted to take his favourite view of the Gatineau Hills to use in the background of the portrait. It was a wonderful experience. I remember Mrs. Pearson poured tea for me... I got 10 other commissions that day and the next day, 15 commissions,â&#x20AC;? said Devlin, who would go on to paint numerous senators and members of parliament.

Devlin eventually moved to the Canadian capital with her sons, and also had a brief stint where she travelled to Cape Dorset and painted a series of portraits of Inuit artists.

She also kept her ties close to home. In Vernon, she had an exhibition of paintings at the Topham Brown Art Gallery in 1969, and a number of her works remain in the permanent collection of the Vernon Public Art Gallery.

However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been south of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital where she has maintained a rather quiet existence, painting scenes in acrylics of the verdant Ottawa Valley, and showing her work in numerous galleries and private collections around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been painting scenes that people ordinarily would drive by, the marshlands and wetlands near my home,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My work has continued to evolve and develop and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked in diverse themes, but I always return to landscapes and nature which keeps my work fresh.â&#x20AC;?

Nakashima got to meet Devlin face-to-face when the artist had a one-woman exhibition at the Firestone Collection of Canadian Art at the Ottawa Art Gallery this past year.

She travelled to Devlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in the woods in Burtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rapids and also spoke to Ottawa Art Gallery curator Catherine Sinclair about the impact Devlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has had on the Canadian artistic landscape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been two years in the making to bring Joyce here to the Mackie Lake House,â&#x20AC;? said Nakashima. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so special to have her here.â&#x20AC;?

To welcome Devlin, the public is invited to an artist reception at the Mackie Lake House Sunday at 2 p.m., where some of her work will be exhibited. The Vernon Public Gallery is also exhibiting Devlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work from its permanent collection and will host an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk with her at the gallery, Saturday at 1 p.m. For more information, visit www.mackiehouse.ca.

Cods keep it ‘reel’ on new album Cod Gone Wild: The Traveler

B

eing productive yields big vibey results on Vernon-Maritime folk band Cod Gone Wild’s second album The Traveler.

The busy group captured some kitchen party ambiance in the studio, resulting in a recording that’s less restrained than their debut.

As well, the Dean Gordon-Smith group (Andrew Mercer, vocals, guitar, other stringed instruments; Chad “Rhino” Carter, drums, vocals; and Roy Kawano, bass) has added fiddle player/vocalist Anjuli Otter to the band, thereby notching up the energy several levels.

STREET SOUNDS

The band has highlighted their harmony vocals noticeably, resulting in a rich and transparent ensemble sound that Cover of Cod Gone Wild’s secbrings fire ond album, The Traveler. to the footstomping jigs, reels and ceilidh party music.

The group specializes in Maritime folk music that also shows elements of dark romantic Gaelic and British Isles themes, played out in many traditional ballads (highwaymen, innkeepers daughters, etc.).

The slightly eerie melodies that ring through much of that material are built up and merged with sinuous violin wail-

ing and propulsive drumming. Both are spacious and song serving, and confirm the group’s east/west loyalties.

The cover songs on The Traveler are well considered: a few songs are pure nostalgia (Saltwater Joys), and some are ballads of longing and thwarted desire (Sarah). But the background feeling is one of ballsy barroom revelry, unrestrained and worry-free songs that roll along with a barking lyrical sway (Step it out Mary, Drunken Sailor).

The title song is a Mercer/Carter co-write that deals with the eternal Maritimer’s lament: leaving home behind. It all fits… Mercer’s vocals shine on the upbeat reel rockers –– he and the band thrive in a fast-paced environment, when tempered with the haunting ballads that brood, fondly, on the past.

The strength of The Traveler lies in a loud and lyrical lilt.

Young musicians welcome to Hear the Music Sunday Morning Star Staff

Jon Buller and his band are back home in Vernon to host another Hear the Music Night.

Sunday’s performance at the Performing Arts Centre will be the 12th Hear the Music Night held in Vernon over the last five years.

Coming on the heels of the Good Friday service hosted by the churches of Vernon at the Wesbild Centre, Buller says Hear the Music Night is the perfect opportunity for people to explore faith in an environment that is exciting, accessible, inclusive and filled with inspiring rockin’ music.

“With an average attendance of about 800 people at each event, it is proving to be a popular gathering for people in the valley that love music, want to explore faith, or just like modern rocking tunes with a positive message,” said Buller, a Juno nominee and Covenant Award winning Christian recording artist and the founder of Hear the Music Night.

In the past, Hear the Music has hosted recording artists such as Andrew Allen, Starfield, Fresh I.E., Amanda Falk and Steve Bell.

More recently, HTM awarded the first annual Christy Maygard Memorial Scholarship, with more than $,1000 value, to Shelley Potts, a deserving young budding musician.

Buller and the Hear the Music band

also spent three weeks on tour throughout Western Canada.

For this event, Buller will welcome more young musicians to share the stage with him, including Dan Oldfield, Aaron French, Cole Friesen, Clare Miller and Katie Warden.

Opening for Buller will be Friesen and a team of gifted young musicians.

“Hear the Music is not just an event with faith-based music that points to Jesus. It is about training and developing young musicians to use their gifts and talents to do

good things and bring a positive message to their world,” said Buller.

“That’s why I’m excited to involve not only my touring band but other teen-aged musicians that are passionate about their faith and incredibly gifted at making music.”

know anything about American Pie, it is a film about teenagers preoccupied with partying down and gettinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; it on.

The climax of the original film made a star of a warm apple pie.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 10 years on and all have â&#x20AC;&#x153;grown up.â&#x20AC;?

We catch up with Jim, Finch, Kevin, Chris and the Stifmeister, meeting a few days before their reunion. The boys get up to all sorts of antics: drinking, drugs, women, more drinking, partying, even more drinking, which leads to shenanigans.

We say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;See it if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hungry for another slice.â&#x20AC;?

TAYLOR: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to say that this is the first movie of this series that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technically not a bad film, in that I could see and hear it.

Artistically, and I use the term loosely, the film has little to no merit.

HOWE: You mentioned this is the first

HOPPER STONE/UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Jason Biggs slips into something comfortable in American Reunion. In the comedy, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago return to East Great Falls for their high school reunion. one of the pie series youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched, so coming into the fourth installment was always going to be a bit of a stumTaylor & Howe bling block for you.

Reunion isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great movie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just okay. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real shame as the first three

REEL REVIEWS

were very good.

TAYLOR: My son Landyn was with us.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19. The only thing he wanted to say about American Reunion was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the other ones, maybe a little funnier.â&#x20AC;?

I noticed that the audience was chuckling just at the sight of another character being revealed, as if remembering their past misdeeds. So not only are the characters pining for a more awk-

ward and sticky time in their lives, but so is the audience.

HOWE: There were some funny moments. I laughed a few times but they were far and few between. When I did they were mostly at Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Jason Biggs) expense.

Teenage sex romps are nothing new. Look what we grew up with in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s: Porkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Screwballs and Revenge of the Nerds.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different?

TAYLOR: We were 14 then. I will give it this, these characters, all in their 30s now, are not so much taking part of the capers going on around them, (except for Stifler.) They simply watch things happen as they try to enjoy their reunion, and deal with their more grown up problems. They are, however, still idiots. So in a way, this movie could be an apology for the others, as if to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;See, we shake our heads at it too.â&#x20AC;? Still, 30-yearold people are just as capable of, and I guess only slightly less likely to be, waking up pants-less on the kitchen floor.

HOWE: Hopefully this is the final chapter of an enjoyable saga.

Because just like eating pie, too much is a choking hazard.

HOWE gives American Reunion 2.5 bubble baths out of 5 TAYLOR gives it 2 Eugene Levy eyebrows out of 5.

American Reunion is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Joel Hayhoe is organizing A Footloose Fundraiser. Proceeds from the April 20 event will help Hayhoe with his bike tour to raise money for development in the African nation of Malawi.

Two wheels for Malawi CARA BRADY

Morning Star Staff

Not everyone can join Joe Hayhoe on his biking trip in Malawi but they can help support his fundraiser to train Malawian people to be bike mechanics and tour guides.

“Biking is a big part of transportation in Malawi and if people can get the training and help to set up shops and run the bike tours it creates sustainable employment,” said Hayhoe, who has been back and forth to Africa with his parents since he was a child. They work with Future Vision Ministries to help Africans develop their communities.

“I was interested in biking as a kid then got back into it a few years ago when a friend and I did a trip from California to Florida to raise money for Athletes for Africa. I found biking was a great way

to travel, to get to know places and the people,” he said.

He has been doing smaller trips around the province and has done the planned Malawi biking trip before to see how it would go.

“I found biking was a great way to travel, to get to know places and the people.”

— Joel Hayhoe The trip, June 1 to 20, 2012, is for moderate level cyclists and will cover about 80 kilometres per day. It includes snorkeling in Lake Malawi, visiting Liwonge National Park and hiking Mount Moulange, the

third highest mountain in Africa.

“We have sent some bikes to Africa and bringing equipment, spare tires, other supplies and tool kits for the mechanics. We want to see more Africans trained to have a sustainable income,” he said.

Hayhoe will be joined on the ride by Bettina Berger and Nicole Guerrero. also of Vernon. He has space for two more riders on this tour.

BYOBike presents A Footloose Fundraiser dance with the classic rock of Feet First and The Irish April 20 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Women’s Institute Hall at 9909 Kalamalka Rd., Coldstream.

Tickets are $10 each, available at the Bean Scene and Bean to Brew.

For more information or to sponsor riders, e-mail info@bringyourowbike.ca or go to www.bringyourowbke.ca.

The ladies auxiliary of the Army, Navy and Air Force Unit is known for its good work throughout the North Okanagan.

Its latest good deed is a donation of $860 to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, thanks to the recent Coffee Party for Hospice event.

Convened by past-president Delores Rondquist, the event included a light lunch, with entertainment provided by local line dancers.

“They practise on a regular basis at the ANAF hall and were more than happy to help the cause,” said Rondquist.

“The ladies auxiliary of the ANAF would like to thank everyone who participated in some way, making our second annual hospice party a success.”

Coffee Party for Hospice is an annual fundraiser for the North Okanagan Hospice Society, with this year’s goal to revitalize the community volunteer program. Last year, hospice coffee parties raised more than $24,000, all in $10 donations.

Hospice volunteers offer companionship and a listening ear, but do not give medical, nursing, or spiritual advice. Volunteers are of all ages, from 20-somethings to retired folks to octogenarians.

Some have health care backgrounds, but volunteers are asked to function only as volunteers, not as an extension of their profession.

Volunteer training sessions are held twice annually, in the spring and the fall. Pre-registration is required. For more information and pre-registration, contact Leigh Van Dyke at leigh@nohs.ca or call 250- 503-1800, ext 110.

although I have asked for the photographs, she has yet to bring them.

Our parents are both dead. My 21-yearold son never met my father, nor has he seen any old pictures of him (or of me).

The last time I asked Rhoda about the photos, she had the gall to tell me it was probably better that I didn’t have them because I may have lost them. She says she has bought a nice album, but frankly, I’d rather get the whole box of pictures back and make my own.

I am so frustrated.

Please help me rescue my memories. — Getting Negative Dear Negative: It’s quite possible that after 30 years, Rhoda has no idea where those pictures are. Instead of asking for the box (or an imaginary album), suggest she make copies of photographs that include you and also a few of your parents.

She could even scan them into her computer and e-mail them to you. If that still doesn’t produce results, we recommend a visit to her home.

Tell your sister it would be a great time to go through the photographs and reminisce, as well as make copies of the ones you want.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Brown-Eyed Girl” to stop worrying. My very blue-eyed mother and father produced nine children. Six have very blue eyes. Three of us have very brown eyes. — Not Worried a Bit Dear Not: Thanks for the backup.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Old in Indiana,” the 90-yearold woman who wondered how to divide her possessions among her daughters and daughters-in-law.

Several years before my lovely mother passed away, she had all her valuables appraised.

Then, in her own handwriting, she wrote who got what next to each piece. I encourage everyone to do the same. It made a difficult time so much easier when we knew we were honoring her wishes. I consider it her final gift to us.

Crisis line steady Morning Star Staff

The People In Need Crisis Line continues to provide help to local residents.

There were a total of 425 calls in January and 506 calls in February.

There were 135 calls for mental and emotional health issues in January and 153 in February. For personal and family concerns, there were 49 calls in January and 56 in February.

Suicide-related calls accounted for 42 in January and 41 in February.

Other reasons for calls included addictions and physical health.

The crisis line is a free service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 1-888-353-2273.

Rev. 20:16: “death and hell were cast into the lake of Àre.” Death and the grave are personiÀed, and represented as being destroyed in the lake of Àre, because this Ànal judgment at the end of Christ’s millennial reign will bring to an end both death and the grave. The wicked will be consumed in death: and the righteous granted immortality. Death and the grave therefore, will be rendered redundant. Paul taught that “the last enemy Christ will destroy is death.” 1 Cor. 15:26.

The Interior Health Authority is celebrating National Volunteer Week from Sunday to April 21.

Thousands of volunteers donate their time and energy to support patients and residents in the Interior.

“Volunteers complement the care provided by our professionals,” said Norm Embree, IHA chairperson.

“It is a great way to gain new experience, meet new people, and make a real difference in your community.

The health care setting truly allows volunteers to have an impact on people’s lives.”

Events are being held this month to say thank you to the many volunteers throughout the organization.

“We sincerely want to acknowledge our volunteers, including the many Auxiliaries that work so hard on behalf of patients,” said CEO Robert Halpenny.

“They contribute through vital fundrais-

ing, giving directions, visiting with dialysis patients, offering wigs and scarves to cancer patients, and countless other ways each day.

Our volunteers are the definition of caring and compassion.”

IHA is continually recruiting volunteers for hospitals and residential care facilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re going to need some excellent reasons to get others to do things your way. They will be pretty much set in what they want to do and how they want to do it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Talking a good game plan and actually doing it may be two different stories. Perform first and boast later.

B R E D

Are You Aboriginal and in Need of Legal Aid?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It would be nice to be able to take what another says at face value when looking to make a purchase, but it wouldn’t be advisable.

In all probability, you’d be making an expensive gamble.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you allow your emotions to overrule your logic, you will most likely be led astray use your common sense.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Either you can’t take directions or you don’t understand them, but in any case you won’t be following anyone’s lead.

Be careful, because it spells trouble.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Every once in a while, good things come our way without us expending too much effort. However, it isn’t one of those times. If you want something, you need to work for it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Keep a cool head should restrictive conditions be imposed upon you from the outside. If you maintain your composure, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to circumvent any obstacles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Negative thinking always severely reduces our potential for success, so don’t indulge in it.

Instead of filling your head with reasons why

something can’t be done, try the opposite approach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Someone who always asks more of others then he or she ever does in return may hit you up.

If you comply, don’t expect any recompense.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your potential for achieving success is fairly good, but, unfortunately, poor execution will make things difficult and most likely hinder your efforts. Try not to let that happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Although your imagination is quite keen, you are likely to use it in counterproductive ways.

Avoid the tendency to act out of spite.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) When contemplating an investment in an area about which you know little, be sure to take plenty of time to investigate and evaluate its worth first. If you don’t, you could easily take a bath.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Kalamalka Rotary Club members Sarah Pruckl (left) and Cheryl Schmidt present a cheque for $3,000 to Minda Chittenden, coordinator of Community Kitchens. Community Kitchens helps people learn how to cook healthy food on a budget (about $1 per serving). For information call Jeanette at 250-545-9292 (extension 205).

Booze allowed in movie theatres TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has created a new liquor licence that allows theatres to serve alcohol during movie showings.

The licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adultsonly. Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy, said unlike the stands at a hockey game or out in a well-lit lobby, it’s difficult for operators to see if minors are sneaking drinks in a dark theatre.

A multiplex cinema now has the option of designating one theatre for adults only and serving drinks. The licence would also cover an adults-only lounge adjacent to the theatre.

“People are trying to save the older theatres, where it’s just a singlescreen operation, and trying to have two types of business in order to basically survive and make those older traditional heritage-type theatres work,” Coleman said.

Bridge by Phillip Alder WHICH DEFENSE IS MORE COMMON? We are looking at the two styles of defense: active and passive. Which do you think is more common: active, where you positively work to establish and win tricks, or passive, where you sit back and wait for tricks to come your way?

In this deal, South is in three no-trump. How can the defenders defeat the contract?

North was right to raise to three no-trump. Since South had not shown a major or raised diamonds, he had to have club length. And nine tricks are easier to win than 11.

Despite the inference from the auction that South has clubs, it is normal for West to lead the club jack.

Now East must not fall into the “always return partner’s suit at no-trump” trap. First, he should ask himself how many tricks declarer has ready to run if East does lead back a club.

Here, it must be at least nine: the club queen, six diamonds and two spades (declarer taking the finesse if he needs it). So East must pursue an active defense to try to take the first five tricks.

Clearly it is time to shift to hearts, but to which card?

When the leader has fourth hand’s top card surrounded and he has a higher, nontouching honor, he should play the card directly above fourth hand’s best. Here, East must switch to the heart jack. Then, however South turns, he must lose one club

and four hearts.

I believe that active defense is more prevalent than passive. Usually, if you leave declarer to his own resources, he will establish the tricks he needs for his contract. You must energetically pursue defensive winners -- but not always!

Mary Dorothy Moon

nee Farmer

Mary Dorothy Moon (nee Farmer) died peacefully on April 8, 2012 at home in Heritage Square, Vernon, BC. Mary is survived by her sister-in-law Joy, nephew Bob (Jackie), nieces Cheryl (Harold), Beverly (Brian), Barbara (Jim) and Rhonda (Ian) and many great nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her brother Pat, sister Aileen, nephews Terry and Warren, and husband, Russell. Mary was born on February 11, 1927 in Enderby, BC. She always met life head on, fearless and untamed in her unparalleled passion for life and the natural world. Mary’s magnetic personality drew people to her throughout the entirety of her life, and this ‘presence’ literally lit up every room she entered. She attended school in Enderby and later in Kamloops with the Sisters of St. Ann. Their inÀuence, coupled with a personal contemplative characteristic, inspired her decision to enter religious life. Sister “Mary” Serena received her BA and M.Ed. having studied in Montreal and Boston University.

She taught in remote mission schools in Alaska and Lower Post along with urban postings at Little Flower Academy and St. Ann’s Academy in Victoria. Mary’s aspirations diverged in the late 1960’s and she embarked upon a new career of teaching at the college level in Alberta. It was here that she met Russell, the love of her life. They were married in 1968 and spent many wonderful years together travelling extensively throughout Europe, Central America and Mexico. When the marriage ended, the friendship continued, as this was Mary. Her life was always ¿lled, from beginning to end, with people she loved ¿ercely, and with those who loved her in return. Mary lived to ¿sh, swim, and spend time at her favourite lakes in the region. She was an inordinate dog lover and shared her life with many favourite four legged loves. Mary revelled in time spent with childhood pals, Moose and Jean MacPherson; life-long friend, Joan McGeragle; and, of late, with her ally and advocate, Angela Chisholm. Even after Mary suffered a massive stroke in 1985 at the age of 58, and was left with little speech and paralysis on her right side, she continued to forge new and lasting friendships in care facilities. Her feistiness never faltered, and she traveled miles in the countryside surrounding Coldstream Meadows on her electric wheelchair, enjoying the horses and animals that crossed her path. One favourite pastime was to challenge friends and family alike to races in the parking lot. Later, as her mobility decreased, Mary traversed the corridors in Heritage Square, commanding the attention of all she met, with her dramatic blue eyes, theatrical expressions and her hearty laughter. Her inability to converse never interfered with her extraordinary facility to communicate exactly what she was thinking. Mary’s was a life lived absolutely on her own terms, a legacy we can all aspire to. We will miss her so much, but rejoice that she is now free. A celebratory Memorial Mass will be held at 11:30 am on Monday, April 16, 2012 at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Enderby, BC. Interment at the Cliffside Cemetery, Enderby BC. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca.

Yoshitaka Mori

The Mori family sadly announces the passing of Yoshitaka on April 4th, 2012, in his 96th year. He died peacefully at home as was his wish.

He leaves behind his wife, Mariye; children: Setsuko, Richard (Judy), Jeanne (Bill), Hugh (Hiroko), Terry (Janice); 13 grandchildren: Lisa (Erik), Sandra, Sarah (Jonathan), ChrisƟne (Greg), Paul (Nadia), Amelia (Huw), Michael (Leslie), Richard (Candice), Tyler (Lauren), Aaron, Akemi (DusƟn), Deni (Yannick) and Kelsey and 13 greatgrandchildren; as well as sisters: Tayeko, Hisako, Mitsuko, and Sachiko. He was predeceased by his son Barrie, sister Fumiko, and brothers Takao and Yoshio. He is remembered also by former daughter-in-law Colleen and former son-in-law Gerald.

Yoshitaka was born on September 10th, 1915 in Whonnock, BC to Kuniyoshi and Misue Mori. At the age of three he was sent to Japan for his educaƟon in the care of his great aunt Cheena Sueno. He aƩended a boys’ school near Makurazaki, Japan unƟl, at the age of ĮŌeen, he was requested to return to the farm in Mission, BC. He married Mariye Ikeda in 1939. When Japanese Internment was declared in 1942, they were allowed to relocate to Vernon as the Ikedas were already farming in the area. Later they established their own vegetable farm on Vernon’s east hill. He also worked in area sawmills to augment the farm income. In the 1960’s he began turning the farm into a fruit orchard.

In 1944, he co-founded the Vernon Judo Club which is today the longest, conƟnuously run judo club in Canada. At that Ɵme marƟal arts were banned and Japanese Canadians even required a special permit to meet in groups. Mr. Mori was the Įrst to obtain such a permit from the RCMP for judo.

He was a thoughƞul, respected and passionate sensei of Judo in its original tradiƟons for more than 50 years. His conƟnuing study of judo, even into his later years, earned him his 8th dan black belt from Judo Canada and inducƟon into the Judo Canada Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame in 1983 as a builder and was recipient of a Most Valuable Person award from the City of Vernon in 1992.

The family expresses special thanks to his wonderful caregivers: Connie, Louise, Kelly, Nurse Next Door and East Hill Respite who made it possible for Dad to stay at home.

A CelebraƟon of his Life will be held on Saturday, April 21st at 1:30 pm at the Schubert Centre (3505 – 30th Street). In remembrance of Yoshitaka and his life, donaƟons may be made to the Yoshitaka Mori Judo Endowment Fund (cheques payable to Community FoundaƟon of the North Okanagan).

The family requests no “koden”.
