Anglers reeling in empty lines RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Authorities are trying to determine where all the fish have gone in Wood Lake. Spring fishing has been extremely slow, with few anglers landing kokanee. “There’s been no massive kill-off that we know of but the population has taken an abrupt downturn,” said Paul Askey, a provincial fisheries stock assessment biologist. “We’ve been getting all kinds of calls from people asking what’s wrong because they’re not catching fish this spring.” Technicians are trying to determine what factors are at play, and one theory is related to poor water quality last year. “There was a lot of algae and the bottom, cool layer of water ran out of oxygen while the top layer got really warm in the summer,” said Askey.

“We’ve been getting all kinds of calls from people asking what’s wrong because they’re not catching fish.” — Paul Askey “It’s the biggest wild stock fishery we have. One of the great things about Wood Lake is the great number of nutrients but it appears to have tipped over the edge last year.” Kokanee stocks took an abrupt downturn starting last year, and this trend is expected to continue this year based on 2011 acoustic data and 2012 angler reports. Last year’s spawner return was the lowest on record

since regular counts began in 1994. Askey isn’t giving up on the kokanee fishery. “We have a number of projects underway,” he said. Among them is the impact of low water levels in Middle Vernon Creek on spawners. Besides Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the initiative also involves the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Oceola Fish and Game Club, the District of Lake Country and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. “If we fix the water problems in the creek, that may help out,” said Askey. The ONA is also focused on egg-to-fry survival. The scope of the situation on Wood Lake should be more obvious this fall when spawning begins. If both populations (shore and stream spawners) drop off, we know the problem is in the lake,” said Askey. “If it’s water quality, there’s no easy fix to that.”

News Vital link brings woman back to life ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

pstairs in the weight room at the Vernon Recreation Centre one Tuesday afternoon in January, Killarney, Man. visitor Shelly Greenlaw began running on a treadmill. Downstairs, Greenlawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother and his two kids were in the swimming pool, and rec centre staff members Gary Lefebvre and Norlene Keller had begun a meeting with recreation services manager Doug Ross. Greenlaw planned to run 30 minutes on the treadmill. Whether there were six minutes or nine minutes left on the machine, Greenlaw doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember. All she knows is that everything all of a sudden went snowy, like a non-working television, then black. At 36, Greenlawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart had stopped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were sitting in Dougâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for an aquatic staff meeting when someone came to the front desk to report a woman was having a seizure in the weight room,â&#x20AC;? said Lefebvre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Norlene went straight to the weight room and I went to the first aid room to grab the AED (Automated External Defibrilator) and first aid kit, and met them in the weight room.â&#x20AC;? Greenlaw had become wedged between the treadmills, so the machines were moved and she was then pulled into open space, where Keller began assessing if Greenlaw was breathing (she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t). Lefebvre started compressions on Greenlaw and Keller activated the AED. Off-duty lifeguard Laura Hitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who, exactly three weeks earlier, had saved a toddler from choking on a coin at the pool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; came in and was ready to assist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From there, we used the AED and gave her one shock,â&#x20AC;? said Lefebvre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two minutes later the AED was doing analysis and it said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a shock. We saw signs of life in

Shelly. She started fighting the mask as we were trying to give her breaths. She was coming back to life.â&#x20AC;? For Lefebvre, Keller and Hitchen, having Greenlaw ask for a glass of water as she was being taken away by paramedics allowed them a sense of collective comfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To hear her talk was a weight off the shoulders,â&#x20AC;? said Lefebvre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You train to do something for 18 years and to finally do it and be a success the first time, it was just overwhelming relief.â&#x20AC;? On Wednesday, the B.C. Ambulance Service presented its Vital Link Award to Lefebvre, Keller, Hitchen and rec centre staff member Rae Kievit, who made the 911 call that afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those vital seconds where the rec centre staff responded to this patient were what made the

difference that day,â&#x20AC;? said Vernon paramedic Cathy Hooper, the first medical personnel on the scene that afternoon, and who was in attendance on Wednesday. Also on hand was Greenlaw, who came from Manitoba just for the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just great that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re honouring them and recognizing their work,â&#x20AC;? said Greenlaw, joined at the presentation by her brother and sister-in-law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their job, but they saved me. They saved a mom, aunt, sister and wife and I appreciate that.â&#x20AC;? It was the second time Greenlaw had a chance to meet face-to-face with her rescuers. The first was after she returned to Vernon from hospital in Victoria in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very, very thankful. If it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for their quick response,

I probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here,â&#x20AC;? said Greenlaw, who teared up during the awards presentation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough words.â&#x20AC;? Greenlaw, who along with her husband and three kids would love to move to Vernon, still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why she collapsed on Jan. 24. There were no warning signs and she felt fine as she started running. All the testing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had since hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provided any answers. She is in the middle of trying to get a test for Long Q-T Syndrome, a disorder of the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electrical system that can happen in otherwise healthy people. As a result of the collapse, Greenlaw now has her own implanted cardiac defibrilator. Greenlaw believes the AED

Water park bubbles up debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Some residents are making waves but that won’t scuttle plans for a water park in Lumby. On Monday, two delegations openly challenged the White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee’s decision to proceed with a spray park. “There’s been a tremendous amount of public input into the process and I am surprised that at such a late hour, there were suggestions about a lack of public input,” said Rick Fairbairn, chairperson. Among those that spoke was resident Huguette Allen. “What are the principles that guide their decisions,” said Allen, who questions how the spray park became a funding priority. “We have (drinking) water issues and Lumby has huge sewage issues. I want to know why this happened and I got nothing (response) at all.”

“There’s been 15 years of community drive for a water park.” — Tracy Williamson Also making a presentation was Janet Green, a former village councillor. “With it comes operating costs and that’s what taxpayers bear,” she said. “We need to know what that will be. I’ve asked and nobody knows what it is.” Green is also not certain about the approval process. “Nobody knows when this got past Lumby council,” she said. Fairbairn insists the committee had an open process in determining the need for a spray park, including establishing a parks and recreation master plan for the area. “It’s been in the works for

years,” he said. “We’ve had a great opportunity to involve the public.” Lumby council voted in December to apply to the province for funding for the project. The total construction budget for the spray park and adult fitness equipment is $453,322, with $348,258 coming from the provincial government. There is also $30,000 from the Lumby Lions and $30,000 from the Teddy’s Angels and Martin’s Devils ball teams. Local taxpayers are contributing $57,064. Maintenance and utility costs for the spray park —

which will have a recirculating water system — aren’t firm but it could be about $4,000 a year. “There will be maintenance costs but look at what it does for the health of our kids?” said Fairbairn. Numerous residents who support the spray park were at Tuesday’s meeting. “Our families are taxpayers as well,” said Tracy Williamson, who is a mom and former councillor. “There’s been 15 years of community drive for a water park.” Williamson believes providing amenities like a spray park is key to Lumby’s revitalization. “With the economic downturn, attracting families is important,” she said. “We need children in our schools and families supporting our businesses.” It’s expected construction will be completed late this year.

No funding for Coldstream path JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Coldstream’s Kidston Road path has been trumped for funds by Lumby’s new spray park, Kin Beach washroom upgrades and a Spallumcheen playground. The district recently learned that it did not make the cut for a provincial grant for phase two of its multi-use path project. Meanwhile several other local projects did gain grant funding. “It’s very disappointing,” said Coun. Maria Besso. “However, there’s always next year.” Coldstream’s mayor suggests more work might be needed to gain grants next time around.

“Next time we Rate hike booked should point out that a Coldstream is hiking lot of the use on that the rent for a non-profit road is Kalamalka Lake organization.

“We are just trying to break even on our situation, not subsidize,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane of the increase. “It’s only fair to our taxpayers that we don’t subsidize it.” In 2011, the Friends of the Library’s annual

lease was $5,376 for its portion of the building, which was actually Coldstream’s library branch until it closed 20 years ago. That number is jumping to $6,253, effective Jan. 1, 2013.

ity. But the motion was also amended to identify land at Okanagan College. “It specifies the site we worked so hard to get,” said chairperson Patrick Nicol. The college site has long been considered the location for a sports complex, but the issue was muddied when a recent staff report also suggested the Kin Race Track property as a possible option. Since then, officials have been trying to

“It specifies the site we worked so hard to get.” — Patrick Nicol address concerns that the process has shifted. “We want to send a clear message to residents that specific funds will be connected to a specific project at a specific site,” said Mike

Macnabb, director. Discussions between Okanagan College and RDNO took place over three years and a 40-year lease agreement was reached in 2010. The provincial Agricultural

Land Commission has also agreed to a sports complex as a non-farm use there. Kin Race Track has been deemed not suitable because of ongoing legal action between RDNO and the Okanagan Equestrian Society over use of the 43rd Avenue property. It’s not known when a referendum to borrow a maximum of $8.5 million for a sports complex will be held, although it could be this fall.

Intersection nets safety improvements RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Action is being taken to improve safety at a downtown Vernon intersection. Council has instructed staff to install signs and a pedestrian crossing with zebra stripes at the southeast end of 29th Street and 28th Avenue. “It meets the warrant for a standard crosswalk,” said Amanda Watson, a transportation technician. “There are no signs at that location and that is something that could be addressed.” Concerns about safety have been raised by the Downtown Vernon Association.

In accordance with Section 98 of the Community Charter, Council will be receiving submissions and questions from the public on the 2011 Annual Report at its Regular Council meeting on Monday, May 28, 2012. Copies of the report are available at the District of¿ce, 9901 Kalamalka Road, Coldstream, BC, Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and on the District’s website at www.districtofcoldstream.ca.

“The degree of the danger was confirmed when a member of our DVA staff narrowly missed being hit by a motorist who drove through the crosswalk even though it was occupied by a pedestrian,” said Ruth Hoyte, DVA president, in a letter. “The risk of a serious or even a fatal accident suggests some firm action by the city is required to remedy this hazard to pedestrians.” Coun. Catherine Lord is convinced improvements are needed. “It’s a couple of blocks from the new library and there could be more pedestrians (using that area),” she said. According to a city staff report, the intersection currently has low pedestrian volume and there are two vehicle travel lanes and bike lanes. About 500 vehicles an hour go through the intersection. “There are no reports of excessive speed,” said Watson. Watson also pointed out that the intersection exceeds minimum visibility distance on three approaches. “In 15 years, there have been no pedestrians injured.”

View-protection bid placed on hold JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

A four-year fight for the protection of picturesque views in Coldstream has been stalled, once again. Attempts have been underway to block builders from erecting or renovating homes that obstruct their neighbour’s views. It all started in 2008, when a Coldstream couple went away on vacation and returned to find their view of Kalamalka Lake partially blocked by a framedin structure.

The police will also have extra staff on to patrol areas around Mabel Lake and several of the forestry campsites around the region. It is also the annual Falkland Stampede and parade that attract thousands of people to the area. “Obey the speed limits and give yourself a bit of extra time to get where you are driving,” said Molendyk. “Don’t be a long weekend traffic statistic.

A reasonable ear

got my first real six string...not that long ago, actually. A lot of music happened to me in the years before then. There was something of a musical curse in my family. Someone had told my mother when she was a child that she couldn’t “carry a tune across the room in a bucket,” and she believed it. She must have had some musical aptitude because she was an excellent dancer but she never sang to my sister and me and not meaning to, led us to believe that we couldn’t sing or do anything musical either and that it wasn’t important. The family lived on a farm, and the rural school did not have a music program beyond some group singing of black spirituals — Cara Brady the teacher was American. The radio, powered by precious batteries, was only turned on when it was really necessary, like when it was time for the news, weather or hockey. The older kids taught us songs and we would sing on the school bus — Tammy’s in Love, Running Bear Loved Little White Dove, and Hound Dog. Our father sang to us on long trips on the bumpy roads in the old blue Chevy truck. His songs were from the war years — Smoke Gets in your Eyes, I’ll Never Smile Again, As Time Goes By. When I went to a town school in my teens, I knew I couldn’t sing, so I didn’t. The teacher told me I was tone deaf and said to just move my lips in singing. I always failed music class. That was the end of music for me. Except it wasn’t. I liked music. In time I got my own radio, LP albums, eight-tracks, cassettes and CDs and went to performances when I could. Music became almost a shameful secret for me, I didn’t feel I had the right to even listen to music because I wasn’t musical. I managed to break the family musical curse for my daughter with music lessons applied early and often. She loved music and composed a musical drama which was performed in a youth music festival. She sings with her children and they in turn sing and love music. Last year, I was thinking about a hobby I could do in retirement and prepare for now. I was willing to consider anything but the requirements were strict — it had to be some-

AT RANDOM

thing that would not need any costly or constantly renewed supplies; it would have to be something that I could do for a long time. It came to music and to the guitar. I looked around for lessons and found an instructor on a local website. “He must really like to teach because he’s teaching when he’s retired, and he must be really patient because he has taught music to elementary school students for years,” I reasoned to myself, reasonably enough. I decided to pay for a sample lesson before committing myself to a term of lessons. I told the instructor my story and he said that few people are truly tone deaf but that I had to decide for myself how much this meant to me. That’s how I met Jim Miles and the Wentworth Music School. Dan at the Wentworth Store helped me pick out a guitar, and later helped with ordering music books, never expressing any doubts at such an unlikely, antique student. I named the guitar Giacco and we spend time together every day. Almost every day. I think I must be for the teacher like finding a student who had been raised by particularly unmusical wolves who didn’t even bother to howl at the moon — a complete music innocent. It was a whole new world for me, a new entrancing language. I am lento (that’s music talk for very slow), but luckily I had guessed right about Jim being patient. And, good teacher that he is, he always finds some little thing to praise so I feel OK about it all, even if it is only playing a short piece a little more smoothly one week or learning a new chord the next. He sets an example by continuing to learn himself. The best thing was when he told me, “you have a reasonable ear for music.” While others might have found that insulting or discouraging, I was thrilled. Maybe the musical curse was finally broken for me, too, or at least cracked. Thank you, Jim, for giving me the gift of music. I hope you have enough patience to have me for a student next term. Some friends thought it was a cool thing to try to learn a musical instrument at such an advanced age, a few have been disparaging. “At your age, you’ll never get good enough,” someone said. “I can get good enough to enjoy doing music for myself,” I said. Still, I can’t help feeling envious of the pretty little girl who has a lesson before me at the studio and comes out jauntily with her guitar on her back. She’ll have the pleasure of music for her whole life.

In her hometown of Killarney, Man., Shelly Greenlaw works out at a fitness centre similar to the one at the Greater Vernon Recreation Centre. The one piece of equipment both gyms share is not to be used for working out. Both sites house automated external defibrilators, portable devices that checks the heart’s rhythm. If needed, the AED can also send an electric shock to the heart to try and restore a normal rhythm. The machine came in handy for Greenlaw in January after she collapsed running on a treadmill at the rec centre’s weight room. Rec centre staff were able to use the defibrilator on Greenlaw to restore her heart, which had stopped beating. That, combined with using first aid CPR compressions on Greenlaw saved the Killarney mother of three’s life. Greenlaw, who returned to Vernon this week to watch her lifesavers be awarded with a B.C. Ambulance Service Vital Link award, believes if the rec centre was not equipped with an AED, she would not have survived. “My heart did stop,” said Greenlaw, who now has her own implanted cardiac defibrilator. “It keeps my heart going. But AEDs are very important, whether they’re at the rec centre or elsewhere.” There are two AEDs at the rec centre, the other is in the Priest Valley arena and gym complex. Greenlaw still doesn’t know why she collapsed or why her heart stopped that day. She just knows that the place she was working out happened to have well-trained first aid personnel on hand, along with a device that jump-started her heart back into operation.

Net zero doesn't add up

he free enterprise crowd insists the economy cannot stand a cost of living increase for teachers and net zero is an immutable law of nature. As a thinking person I don’t buy it. We are not becoming Greece, even a cursory review of our fiscal position belies this insistent threat made by those who would consistently lower taxes without regard for public funding of the most important parts of our social democracy. Net zero is why B.C. teachers are engaging in such heart-wrenching acts of resistance; the ongoing and unquestioning necessity of net zero. Not to say that B.C. is flush with cash and let’s dole out massive increases for everyone, that’s silly and no one has suggested we do so. Yet the claim that net zero is necessary or we turn into Europe is also silly. Yet somehow net zero became an unquestioned truth, a fundamental necessity to stave off all ruin and, not surprisingly, teachers who dared to question this truth are being attacked as selfish, greedy heretics. Net zero is a political ploy, an obvious manipulation. It’s not an economic fundamental, but a strategy to cut off debate. Net zero only exists for those who believe without question in the truth of lower taxes, because as we have all been told incessantly, lower taxes create jobs. Do they? Do they really? My entire adult life I have heard the fiscal argument that lower-

ing personal and corporate taxes encourages economic growth, but think back, have you ever seen any evidence of this to be true? No one has ever said our economy is awesome, here’s a raise. Instead all of us in the middle class have watched our earnings decline, that of the working poor disappear almost entirely, while profits and earnings for those high income earners has increased exponentially. How many tax cuts have the Liberals made in the last decade? At 10 per cent, do we in B.C. not have the lowest corporate tax rate in North America, yet the largest number of working poor and children living in poverty? How many of the current issues around funding would be mitigated or disappear entirely if the corporate tax rate was something like 14 per cent or we accepted a modest income tax rate increase on those making more than say 50k?

TEACHERS STANCE QUESTIONED Does anyone, aside from me, have a problem with teachers deciding to stop volunteering to protest a new government regulation, Bill 22, the Education Improvement Act? Do we now live in a communist country where organizations dictate what we do with our personal time? I believe the union has gone too far when it uses an individuals’ freedom to push its agenda. If it has something to do with their daily work schedule, OK, but not after hours. What's next?

Would the money leave B.C., would the sky fall, would we turn into France? Or would funding be available for nurses, teachers, social workers and others empowered with the public trust to maintain our social contract take their cost of living increase and walk away from the bargaining table, not wealthy, but satisfied that they are valued, respected and that the services they provide are worth funding in a commonsense, fiscally responsible manner. In my 18 years of teaching, funding to education has been cut, that is well documented. I have also never received a raise beyond modest cost of living increases (all I want or feel I need, frankly). Although ridiculously contentious and politically motivated on both sides of the table, teachers and government have always managed to reach some sort of compromise

Can they vote to boycott volunteering at the food bank or at church? These are the teachers of our children. What example is being set by blackmailing students and parents in an effort to force the government to back down and give teachers what they want. I thought that the democratic process is, if you disagree with what a government is doing you can vote them out of power. Elect an MLA sympathetic to your cause, or carry out a protest petition and force the government to hold a referendum vote, as was done for

– until now. Why? Net zero. This unquestioned belief in the truth of net zero is why I have made the heart-wrenching decision to not participate in extracurricular activities at my high school, why I will let down my Grade 12’s and for the first time in a decade, not read their autobiographies as they cross the stage at their graduation ceremonies; I can’t, not because my union has made me, we are free to make this difficult choices ourselves, but because we teachers are a principled lot and I for one, I can’t sit back and accept what I am convinced is an attack not only on collective bargaining, but an inevitable weakening of public education in the name of fiscal efficiencies. I am aware of the cruel irony this decision creates. I consider the honour of reading these autobiographies one of the greatest perks of my teaching career, yet I cannot participate because the Liberal agenda has left me no other avenue of resistance that anyone would actually notice. I teach students to stand up for their beliefs, to speak, to resist, to protect what matters to them. The irony is that in doing so, I am hurting my students as much as myself. And why? Because of the seemingly fabricated, wholly cynically and entirely unfounded Liberal mantra of Net Zero. Kelly Winston

the HST. As taxpayers, and as parents, we should all be concerned about the values that children are being taught by teachers being paid with our tax dollars. When my kids were growing up I volunteered to help coach soccer. I did this because I wanted to help the kids and no one ordered me to do this or not to do it. It was my own personal time. I think the teachers union has overstepped its authority. Malcolm Farago

Curiosity is a byproduct of sludge being spread over some Lavington fields. Coldstream Ranch has started spreading an organic residue on a few of its corn fields. The sludge is waste from fruit processing at Sun-Rype in Kelowna, which is treated at a waste facility. During winter applications of the sludge, some concerns were brought to the District of Coldstream over the smell and safety. “I’m suspicious it is more than just apple composte, it’s a class two toxic sludge,” said Coun. Maria Besso. The material contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and some residual fecal coliforms from the wastewater treatment. Despite the evidence of fecal coliforms, the ranch has permission from the Ministry of Environment to spread it on fields. “The biosolids being applied to Coldstream Ranch is the organic residue remaining after treatment of processing water for the production of juice and wine,” said Jody McCall, operations forester/ professional agrologist, in a

JENNIFER SMITH/MORNING STAR

A sign warning about sludge being spread on fields in Lavington was erected at Coldstream Ranch over the winter. response to Coldstream. “The material is all organic, contains no pesticides and has beneficial nutrients for the soil.” Coun. Gyula Kiss suggests the sludge can’t be any more dangerous than what is traditionally spread over crops. “I would be more worried about the bacteria in the cow manure.” But Besso still questions the safety of the sludge, especially since a precautionary sign was erected at the ranch over the winter. “If it were less dangerous than cow manure then they wouldn’t have to put a sign up,” said Besso.

She is also concerned about seepage into Coldstream Creek, which flows into Greater Vernon’s drinking water. There are three areas the sludge is being applied to: Buchanan, Big B and Keefer fields. The first two are 850 metres from Coldstream Creek, while Keefer is 130 metres away. Residential properties are at least 30 metres away from the fields. The District of Coldstream is investigating the sludge and whether it presents any health concerns. “We’re not claiming that anything wrong is being done here, we just want some information,” said Coun.

Doug Dirk. Creek concerns still flowing One Coldstream politician is calling her colleagues ostriches. Coun. Maria Besso says concerns about cows tromping through and defecating in Coldstream Creek are not being taken seriously. “It seems to me like we’re hiding our head in the sand and not dealing with it,” said Besso. She refers to Coldstream Ranch allowing cows in area creeks, after she heard several complaints from residents following a recent event where cattle stormed the fence. “Can we not say to someone, ‘please fix your fence?’” Besso asked. “It’s not good for the environment and it’s not good for the cattle either.” While the trampled fences have since been re-erected, the overall situation is more complicated than that, since senior governments have regulation over what occurs in the creeks. Mayor Jim Garlick calls the government regulations a backwards situation. “If he sticks a pump in the creek he gets in trouble from the Ministry of Environment but he can let his cattle walk in the creek,” said Garlick. “It doesn’t make sense.”

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Bruce Cummings has taught students who achieved top marks in his biology classes. And that’s one reason the president of the Vernon Teachers’ Association believes the Fraser Institute’s annual rankings of B.C. secondary schools gets a failing grade. “Vernon teachers place zero value on the ranking system used by the Fraser Institute,” said Cummings. “Changes from year to year depend almost entirely on which random group of students walk in the door. “I am a biology teacher and in one year and one year only I had 14 out of 26 students achieving at the ‘A’ standard with two of them at 99 per cent on the government exam. Was I a super teacher for only one year in a 33-year career? I don’t think that is the case.” The Report Card on B.C. Secondary Schools in British Columbia 2012 rates 280 public and private secondary schools based on seven key indicators using data from the annual provincewide exams administered by the B.C. Ministry of Education. The report card displays individual school results for the past five years, showing whether schools have improved or fallen behind over time. According to the report, 14 of the fastest-improving secondary schools are public schools, although the top 10 schools are all private. “Our rankings show that every school is capable of improvement, regardless of the personal and family characteristics of its student population,” said Peter Cowley, Fraser Institute director of school performance studies. But Cummings said the problem with the

— Bruce Cummings public school system is the chronic underfunding by the provincial government. “While funding is declining for the public schools, public funding for the private school system is increasing,” he said. Cummings said at one time an accreditation process was used, based on a five-year cycle. “It was an exhaustive process that thoroughly examined all aspects of a school and usually ended up with a plan for the school to follow from goalsetting to planning professional development,” he said. “That was a better

system. The BCTF has an excellent plan in general, called ‘Better Schools for B.C.’ and it is available on the BCTF web site (bctf. ca).” School board chairman Bill Turanski said he has some reservations about the report. “The private schools always come out ahead because they can select their students, we have to take all of our students, which we’re happy to do as that’s why we’re here,” he said. Vernon trustees have recently returned from the B.C. School Trustees’ Association annual general meeting, where there was

some discussion about implementing new ways of reporting school success. “It’s been recommended that we look at some other way, as I don’t think any of the districts are happy with the current situation,” said Turanski. District secondary schools were ranked as follows out of 280 B.C. schools: Kalamalka at number 37; Vernon Christian School, 42; Fulton, 103; Vernon secondary, 139; Charles Bloom, 172; Seaton, 181.

Libraries consider fundraising option RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Local libraries could eventually get into the fundraising business. Okanagan Regional Library board members agreed Wednesday to hire a consultant for a fund development study to see if revenue sources exist beyond taxation. “We feel there are possibilities out there we could be missing,” said director Peter Schierbeck. “It would be primarily used for capital - new chairs or tables or an addition to the (book) collection.” Director Mike Macnabb, though, expressed some apprehension that the study could lead to ORL hiring someone to take on fundraising. “We’re kind of a monopoly and we don’t see others setting up libraries next to us. Why are we doing this?” he said. However, other board members pointed out that all that’s been approved is a feasibility study and no decision has been made about fundraising. “We’re not seeking anyone’s funding at this NOW OPEN

time,” said director Jim Edgson. A similar view also came from director Lisa Cameron. “Without a feasibility study, it’s just us talking about what we think is best for the library,” she said. Lesley Dieno, ORL executive director, believes there are some unknowns about canvassing for money. “We want to know how much fundraising will cost to do - staff salaries, travel to communities, etc.,” she said. But she admits there’s a reluctance among the board to keep raising taxes. “There are a lot of things we could do if we had the money to do it.” Langley-based Liberty Quest Enterprises has been hired for up to $20,755 to lead the study. However, completing the full process is contingent on Liberty Quest identifying realistic opportunities for fundraising. “If they can’t find anything for us, they will walk away from the rest of the $20,000,” said director Arlene Arlow.

Course swings out housing

I N S TA N T R E B AT E O F F ER

ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Residents may soon have a chance to live on a North Okanagan golf course. The Royal York Golf Course in Armstrong has applied to the city to rezone its property in order to add a 79-single-family townhouse development. “The development would be in the old driving range area to the south side of the clubhouse, and the piece of property on Highway 97 just to the south side of the sixth hole,” said Todd York, spokesperson for Royal York. Todd York In a report to council, city staff state the applicant is proposing residential resort homes to be available for purchase as investment properties, principal residences or as visitor accommodation for short-term stays. The proposed development would encompass 5.33 hectares and would replace the RV Park, the discontinued driving range and maintenance yard, though the proposal states maintenance facilities would be relocated to the north part of the golf course near the existing house. The applicants are not proposing to re-establish the RV park elsewhere, and do not plan to alter the golf course. York said the plan was originally hatched three years ago but was shelved when the course’s thenclubhouse was destroyed in a July 2009 fire. A new clubhouse was reconstructed and officially opened last year. “Now that things have been cleared up (with the clubhouse) we decided to move forward with the application,” said York. “I’m fairly excited by it. Hopefully this will help bolster the golf business.” The new proposal is reduced substantially from the course’s first application to amend the OCP and rezone the subject properties in order to accommodate a development of 258 dwelling units consisting of 42 townhomes and 216 multifamily condos. Council unanimously supported first reading of the golf course’s application to amend the OCP and rezone the property from recreation commercial (C.5) to recreation commercial (C.5) and residential apartment and multi-family (R.4). Prior to second reading, however, a traffic impact analysis and site plan must be received by the city.

hectares), does this council think that farmers can make a viable living?â&#x20AC;? asks the association in a letter to council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have greater than 500 acres owned by (members) that disprove that anyone can make a living on 24.7 acres without additional income.â&#x20AC;? Other proposed changes include farm home plate regulations, an increase in rural 30 zones from two to 30 hectares for future subdivisions, allowing secondary suites in all rural zones and permitting hens throughout Coldstream. The association raises several issues with the changes, including tax implications, real estate values and rights. Concerns are also being hatched among politicians with some of the changes. The prospect of laying hens allowed in every backyard doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit well with some. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chickens belong on the farm, not in the urban setting,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Peter McClean, whose thoughts were echoed by Coun. Doug Dirk. Considering all the issues raised, Coldstream isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t moving hastily to bring the changes to fruition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more discussion and research on items that is further to be done,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jim Garlick.

Police nab pot at stop Morning Star Staff

Police conducting a traffic road block on a Spallumcheen back road netted a significant marijuana bust. Officers stopped a car May 12 on Salmon River Road at Hallam Road, and noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search resulted in police finding five pounds of marijuana bud packaged in individual half-pound bags. A 38-year-old Vernon man was arrested. He will appear in court to face possession for the purpose of trafficking charges.

ATLANTIC REMEMBERED

Dick Callaghan (left), Keegan Reed and Bev Fester participate in a ceremony to remember the Battle of the Atlantic at the Vernon Cenotaph Sunday.

The Battle of the Atlantic ran from 1939 to 1945.

Car show support revving up RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Support for a Lumby car show is

motoring ahead. The White Valley Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee

has agreed to waive the $125 rental fee for Royals Park for the 2012 Cam Jammers Car Club

although staff had recommended against that. “It’s an important community event and the food bank is a crucial community service,” said Rick Fairbairn, committee chairperson, of the reasons for the decision. The event raises money and food for the local food bank. Staff had recommended that the request be denied because the grant application came after the annual deadline and 2012 funding is allocated. Officials with the Lumby Food Bank Society say there has never been a rental charge for the park before. “The president of the Cam Jammers has informed me that if this fee is applied, they may have to take the cost of this fee out of the funds raised for the food bank,” said Bruce Mackie, society chairperson. Mackie added that it wasn’t known that there was a grant application process. “Next year, I will work with the Cam Jammers to make sure the grant application is in place on time.” The $125 will come from White Valley Parks and Recreation’s reserves.

Stein stands tall for Timber crew Morning Star Staff

They played for keeps as Turn-Key Controls and North Enderby Timber collided in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #3. The Timber got Joe Hart-like play from keeper Danny Stein in a 2-0 victory in the heated showdown for top of the table. There was no score at the half in a battle which saw lots of late tackles and four yellow cards for Turn-Key and two bookings for NET. The Timber opened the scoring in the 78th minute when a bouncing 50/50 ball was won in the midfield by Jesse Knight and sent wide to Harminder Sandhu. Sandhu located Dexter James posted just above the 18-yard box with a hard, low pass. James played a neat between the legs flick for a through ball to a streaking Corey Wallis, who beat keeper Jeremy Kler low. The second goal came eight minutes later when James ran onto a through ball, took three touches and hammered the ball to the left of Kler. Undefeated Turn-Key produced two quality chances in the remaining 14 minutes but couldn’t solve the acrobatic Stein. Evan Moore delivered a sweet free kick from 22 yards out which cleared the wall and was headed top shelf before Stein stretched out like a gymnast and pushed the ball up and off the crossbar. A second Turn-Key opportunity five minutes later was denied by Stein who used his head, opposed to his hands, to clear his 18-yard box off a threatening corner. Stein was named the Carl’s Jr. Man of the Match. Turn-Key center defenders Kyle Goodgrove and Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Carson HaywoodFarmer worked tirelessly in shutting down the potent NET attack in the first half. Both teams are 4-1, joining Salmon Arm Courvas (4-0) in the penthouse. The Courvas stopped Vernon Hi-Pro Sportswear Camels FC 3-1 Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5. The Courvas opened the scoring early in the first half from outside the penalty area with a well-placed strike sailing over an outstretched Camels keeper Ryan Campbell.

The 2-2-1 Camels pressed for the equalizer which came late in the first half on an arching volley delivered by Ben Osborn from 18 yards out. Both teams exchanged a number of failed tries until Courvas capitalized on the go-ahead marker with 15 minutes remaining. With two minutes left, Courvas thwarted the Camels’ attempts at the goal-line, driving a third and final marker behind Campbell, in transition, right before the final whistle. Davidson & Co. Dynamite shut down the Salmon Arm Outlaws 1-0 at Marshall #4. The Nitros (2-2-1) carried most of the play against the 0-5 Outlaws and got a goal from Moe Singogo in a hard-fought tilt. The Dynamite had two goals called back, while their keeper, Ean Ross, registered a fabulous save on a penalty kick. Monashee Surveying of Vernon gained a 1-1 draw with the host Revelstoke Stallions. The surveyors (2-1-1) started short players due to travel, but went up early on a scramble with Michael Arding trying to murder the ball and finding the net. A few minutes later, Revelstoke (1-2-2) countered down the right side, made some nifty moves and equalized. It was a tough battle by both teams and featured many hard tackles, with the game getting tense right down to the last play. The Nation of Domination Eagle Homes ambushed Vernon Concept Physio 7-2 at Marshall #2. NOD was up 2-0 when Fabrice N’Dair converted on a great through ball from Enzo Paal to bring Concept Physio within one at the half. NOD (2-3) came out strong in the second half and scored three times on through balls that Concept (0-4-1) felt were offside. Playing with no subs, Concept couldn’t match the intensity that NOD brought in the second half, but ended strong with a brilliant goal by Paal.

Red Bulls record Under 13 split Morning Star Staff

The Royal LePage Red Bulls split a pair of Under 13 House Boys soccer league games last weekend at Marshall Field. The Red Bulls bowed 3-1 to the Royal LePage Blues with Shane Pelkey sending a beautiful feed through to Kye Fentimen who converted for the Bulls. Midfielders Hayden Broderick, Max Fenn and Kieran Webster all played strong games for the Bulls. Jared Bobryk was solid in net, while forwards Bryce Meausette and Tyler Baginski were stellar on defence. In their second game, the Red Bulls rebounded for a 3-1 win over the Royal LePage Whites. Striker David Heng impersonated Mia Hamm by taking his shirt off after scoring all three goals for the Red Bulls. His buddy, Dylan Henry, set him for two of the goals while Pelkey assisted on the other. Mexican striker Marcelo Suro was a force all game but failed to finish on numerous chances. Top defender John Bernakevitch was superb on defence along with the twin towers of Nick Alveberg and Josh Baker. Bobryk had another fantastic game in net while Connor Johnston controlled the play in the midfield.

Navy shuts down Subway Vanilla Ice In U14/15 Girls play, the Subway Navy shut down the Subway Vanilla Ice 1-0. The Ice played a strong defensive game, with great play from Arynn Macmillan Carmen Pavlov, Taia Duke, Michelle Ockert and Kia Kaneda. They enjoyed some excellent scoring chances up front from Hannah Taylor and birthday girl, Julia Wendt. Excellent hustle and support came from midfielder Camryn Sproule. H&L Glass brushed back Caufield Engraving 4-3 in exciting U18 Girls play Saturday. Caufield led 3-1 in the first half on two goals by Kate Alexander and one by Bailey Limb before H&L equalized before the half on goals by Jade Wendt, Valentina Correale and Aurora Greeno. A breakaway goal by Hailey Woon midway through the second half was the winner.

Sharks, Orange go scoreless In U15 Girls action, the Sharks and Subway Orange battled to one of the most exciting scoreless draws outside of the English Premier league. The Sharks started strong and kept Orange in their own half for the first 10 minutes but failed to generate any real chances. Orange

Cole Casanova (middle) and Daniel Meier (right) are all smiles as they battle for the ball, while Tyler Konkin happily follows the action in youth soccer play at Lavington Park. withstood the pressure and started to push back, creating some good scoring chances with a quick counterattack. The Sharks got a great performance from keeper Cherish Ayers, who earned the shutout by attacking anything inside the penalty area, and solid defence from Sarah Wiebe and Katie MacGillivray. The teams went back and forth for the rest of the game, with Erin Hickman causing all sorts of trouble for the Sharks’ defence, while the Sharks got strong showings from midfielders Sarah Orr, Ashley Eso and Latisha Baker. The final few minutes saw excellent scoring chances at both ends, including MacGillivray ringing a shot off the post for the Sharks.

Silver Bullets, Jackers draw 1-1 In U14-15 Girls action Saturday, the Silver Bullets and the Tracker Jackers played to a 1-1 tie. Kierra Bootsma scored for the Jackers midway through the first half. The Bullets came on in the second half, and finally scored the late equalizer as Sierra Brenner sprinted in on a breakaway, blasting it past the Jacker keeper. The Jackers threatened on several occasions, but were thwarted repeatedly by keeper Emma Cohen, who was fearless in challenging forwards, and stopping a couple breakaways. Taylor Gray was outstanding on defence for the Jackers, and Teal Hadland was solid in goal.

Tigers scare Raiders in third Morning Star Staff

The good news for the Vernon Tigers is they matched the offensive output of their first three Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse games combined. The not-so-good news is they still fell 15-13 to the host Kelowna Raiders Wednesday night at Memorial Arena. Trailing 11-6 to start the third period, the Tigers, now 0-5, rallied with seven goals in the final 20 minutes, aided by some undisciplined play from the 4-2 Raiders. They tied the game 13-13, but Kelowna converted twice more for the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made it interesting in the third period for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Brian Cope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Raiders) lost it a little bit and we capitalized. Our key guys stepped up and they really started putting the ball in the net. They looked like they were hungry to score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first period of the year we won. The guys just go to buy into the system and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come. Once we get a couple of our guys back, it should be interesting.â&#x20AC;? Trevor McEachnie (3+3), Brennan Plante (3+1),

Kasmer Boudreaux (2+4), Kirk Krause (2+2), Amrit Dhoot (1+2), Casey Sherriff and Tony Minchenko supplied Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence. The Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scoring was provided by captain Jacob Illichmann (4+2), Joe Brown (3+3), Luke Bailey (2+4), Chris Phillips (1+5) and veteran Pho Heng (1+5). The Tigers played with just 13 runners and quickly fell behind 5-1 after the first period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first periods all year have been rough on us,â&#x20AC;? said Cope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get out of the gate.â&#x20AC;?

Oh Henry: what a United soccer demo Morning Star Staff

The Celtics got their second goal from Jackie Morneau, who used her dangerous speed to bust through the Little Tex defensive line on an amazing feed from Krause. The Outlaws kept pushing, but were shut down continuously by the stingy Celtics’ defence. The restaurant crew took advantage of another mishap in the final minutes on the Celtics’ back line. A small miscommunication led to a small collision between Celtics’ keeper Charmaine biagioni and a defender for the ball to pop out for an easy goal for Lipski. In the final minute, the Celtics got a beautiful goal from Jodi Bariesheff. Bariesheff was found by Samantha Adam streaking down the left side of the pitch, beating one defender and leaving only the keeper to beat. Bariesheff calmly hammered the ball with her left foot far post out of reach of the diving keeper. “We are really starting to gel as a team; we moved the ball around nicely,” said NET coach Graham Ross. “Our high-intensity practices and commitment from everyone is clearly starting to show.”

Jodi Peshko, Aggie Golosinski, Amber Tew, Karinda McGraw, Michelle ClarkeBrown and Maura McCarthy all showed versatility, playing in various positions. Once again, keeper Shaun Nickoli made excellent saves on some powerful Rosters shots. Driller coaches Geri O’Brien and Christine Castrucow were impressed with the total team effort. “Many of our new players are improving at a great rate and are willing to learn and play all positions,” said O’Brien. “Once again, they demonstrated great team work, communication and a positive energy on and off the field.” The Shuswap Kaos upset the visiting Controllers 1-0 in a very one-sided match with the Controllers in full command but unable to score. The 1-4 Kaos keeper was the busiest player on the field as the 2-1-2 Controllers played pitch and catch with her all night as she seemed to be everywhere in the 18-yard box. Jenny Currie set up a streaking Deanna Baker at the far post but Baker knocked it just wide at the 18th minute in what was the Controllers’ best opportunity of the night. Currie was outstanding all night long, setting up many plays while almost cashing in with a goal.

The Shuswap goal came on a break down the left side as the Shuswap forward collided with fullback Brandi Hunter, knocking her to the ground, gathered the loose ball and beat Mickey Templeton far post, midway through the second half. The Controllers put up a strong bid for the tying goal but Kaos met the challenge defending well all night. “We were all over them and one bad bounce decides the game,” said a dejected Hunter. The NET Celtics came out hungry for some Little Tex Tuesday night, posting a 3-2 Division 1 win over the Outlaws at Marshall #4. The 2-1-1 Celtics got an early goal from a heads up play by Ashley Krause. Carly Smith got a through ball only to find a very aggressive keeper charging out at her. Smith tried to slot the ball past the rushing keeper who handled the ball roughly 35 yards out. Krause used her deep knowledge of the game, as the whistle went on the hand ball, Krause calmly approached the ball and buried it from 35 yards out, catching everyone off guard. Little Tex (1-3) evened the score shortly before half on a minor defensive miscue with Candyce Lipski converting a corner by Jasmine Whitling.

Shelley Henry put on a classic Christine Sinclair impersonation as NOU United stormed Setters Pub 5-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #1. The ageless Henry scored twice and set up (Lean) Lena Dean for one of her three goals to earn the Longhorn Lady of the Match. “She dazzled, she zigged, she zagged,” said Shelly Johnston of NOU. “Every ball was sent to her waiting feet. She deked, she twirled, she did everything. A joy to watch. She even wondered herself how she did those moves.” Carla Gibson sent an amazing hard ground pass to Henry, who calmly dribbled up the centre of the field and unleashed a rocket grounder, left side, for NOU’s opening strike. Henry then sent a high bullet cross off the post, finding Dean there waiting for the easy finish. Dean netted her second goal by showing patience on a cross from Sue Barss. United’s fourth goal came from Dean after a gorgeous feed by Teresa Collins. NOU’s fifth goal came off a textbook move by Pam Powell to the feet of Henry, who again ran the ball up and into the net. Defender Karen Benn bent a nice shot up to Henry, who set up Charlene McNaught and Dean for a goal that was called back. United got strong defence from Jan Townsend, Pat Nielson, Karen Benn, Kim Cooper and Johnston, while Gibson, Wendy Stevens and Rita Tedesco ran the middle with authority. NOU (1-1-2) used give-and-goes and all around nice passing with lots of chatter on the field, “releasing” players to the approval of coach Michael Collins. Keeper Dar Wiese lost her clean sheet on a high over the head loft. Rosters and Goplen Drillers battled to a 2-2 draw at Marshall #5. It was an own goal that deflected in off of a hard shot by Lisa Desjardins that put 1-1-2 Rosters on the scoreboard first. Renee Cooke, back from her Mexican holiday, scored Rosters’ second goal off of a corner. The 0-3-1 Drillers also capitalized on a corner when Lena Urquhart converted a header off a great ball by Lisa Lanaway, and registered their second of the match after a comic chaotic breakdown in front of the Rosters net that left keeper Gennie May Deines sprawled out on the grass. Urquhart rattled a shot off the post and Krista MacCagno was lying on the goal line, but couldn’t finish. After getting up and pouncing on the loose ball, MacCagno slammed it home. Rosters kept the ball in the Drillers’ end for the majority of the game with excellent efforts in the middle from Daralee Morris, Marissa Wiebe, Christine Trickey and Denise Bateman. The Rosters’ back line was solid with Michelle Curry, Carolyn Gustafson and Felicia Musa. Short-term “retiree” Kulwinder Smith returned to the Drillers’ lineup, patrolling the back line well with Tracey Hill who returned after a volleyball injury. Michelle Connolly played her first game in two sea-

Gym club flips for new lease Morning Star Staff

Gymnastics is vaulting ahead in the North Okanagan. The North Valley Gymnastics Society has signed a lease for a new facility at 4-2707 45th Ave., near Canadian Tire. “The new space will enable the club to accommodate a wider age range of youth than is currently served, as well as being able to offer summer camps, birthday parties, family fun nights and drop-in sessions,” said Pamela Hargreaves, with the club. The club currently operates out of the Vernon Recreation Complex and Armstrong Elementary School. However, there are challenges with the daily moving of equipment, limited storage space, restrictions on the equipment permitted and being bumped by other events. “The move to a dedicated building will enable the club to reach and eventually surpass past levels that peaked at the shared Beairsto Elementary School gym

Where does my drinking water come from? This is one of the most frequent questions staff are asked at Greater Vernon Water (GVW). It is an important question to ask, as the answer helps residents understand their water quality as well as how much water is available. We are fortunate to

have access to multiple sources of water, meaning GVW has some alternatives in the event of an emergency. GVW is working to better integrate the distribution of these sources, so that it is easier to switch or blend supplies. However, this also means we have the challenge of understanding that our neighbours may be getting their water from

a different source with different characteristics. Greater Vernon Water primarily relies on two water sources, the Duteau Creek Watershed and Kalamalka Lake. Other sources such as King Edward Lake (Deer Creek), Goose Lake, and groundwater wells may be used to supplement the system temporarily during peak summer demand. Okanagan Lake is

the water source for Outback and Delcliffe residents. The Duteau Creek Watershed serves most of Coldstream and Electoral Areas B and C. It includes three reservoirs in the hills above Lavington on forested crown land. The Greater Vernon area gets most of its precipitation in the winter, so this watershed relies on snow melt to fill the reservoirs in the spring. Water quality in these reservoirs and creeks is influenced by natural events such as landslides and human activities such as forestry, grazing, and recreation. Kalamalka Lake is a valley bottom lake, so the water flowing into it has traveled overland, underground, and through streams. This is the water source for most of the residential areas of the City of Vernon. Kalamalka Lake water quality is influenced by activities occurring directly on the water as well as agricultural and urban land uses surrounding the lake and Coldstream Creek. Approximately 80 per cent of the annual inflow to Kalamalka Lake is from Coldstream Creek. These two very different water sources require different methods of treatment to ensure the water is safe to drink. Dissolved Air Floatation Treatment is used at the Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant to remove colour and natural organics. Ultraviolet Disinfection Treatment is used at the Mission Hill Water Treatment Plant, which treats water from Kalamalka Lake, to remove disease causing bacteria and parasites. Both treatment plants also use chlorine as a second level of protection against viruses, bacteria, and parasites such as Giardia. To ensure we can balance the needs of our customers with the cost of new infrastructure GVW has devel-

oped a Master Water Plan. A key component of that plan is managing summer water demand from our largest customer group, agricultural irrigators. Reducing demand is the cheapest way to increase supply, so GVW is participating in the Okanagan Irrigation Management Program (OKIM). This program uses the latest technology to help farmers schedule their irrigation only when it’s needed and to determine the most efficient irrigation system for their crop. The Master Water Plan also recommends separating the agricultural and domestic (drinking) water supplies, to reduce costs by supplying irrigators with untreated water. Making the switch to being more water efficient also helps manage other problems. In terms of irrigation, over watering can mean that valuable top soil is lost or fertilizers are washed away. Pesticides can be washed into nearby streams, which then affects our Kalamalka Lake drinking water source. GVW is working with provincial agencies, tenure holders, municipalities, and private land owners on watershed protection plans for Coldstream Creek/Kalamalka Lake and the Duteau Creek Watershed to safeguard our water quality from the many activities occurring on land that affect our sources. GVW encourages residents to use water wisely by choosing efficient fixtures and appliances (toilets, showers, washers) and fixing leaks. Planting water efficient landscaping will reduce your water bill and help minimize yard maintenance since the plants are better suited to our climate. To learn more about GVW water quality protection and conservation programs, visit www.rdno.ca/water. May 13-19 is B.C. Drinking Water Week.

News Okanagan skies exhibit partial eclipse Morning Star Staff

If the weatherman provides clear skies on Sunday afternoon, Okanagan residents will be able to see a fairly rare spectacle. A partial solar eclipse will take place starting around 5 p.m. Sunday, where the moon will advance over the sun’s disk, eventually covering about 68 per cent of its surface. But those wanting to catch a glimpse of the event are reminded that viewing the sun can permanently damage your eyes. Therefore members of the Okanagan Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (OC RASC) invite the public to observe the eclipse with them at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. “We will have special filters on our telescopes as well as free solar glasses for the public to use,” said Colleen O’Hare, OC RASC president. “Offering safe solar viewing is an important part of the club’s activities.” The first sign of the eclipse will be the first ‘bite’ taken out of the sun by the dark sphere of the moon around 5 p.m. The missing sector will grow gradually until about 68 per cent of the sun is covered by around 6:15 p.m. This will be followed by a gradual recession of the ‘intruder’, restoring the sun to its full glory around 7:21 p.m.

“There are two to five solar eclipses per year occurring somewhere on the Earth,” said O’Hare. Sunday’s partial eclipse, will be seen across the southwest U.S. as an annular eclipse – where the sun will exhibit a thin ring around the moon. Then on Nov. 13 a total eclipse will be seen from the Southern Pacific (including parts of Australia and New Zealand). “For any one place on Earth you must wait about 375 years between eclipses,” notes O’Hare. “The next eclipse to come this way will be Aug 21, 2017. It will be a total eclipse and observable across the U.s. including northern Oregon. We are all waiting for this one.” In addition to the special eclipse, the Observatory’s fifth season of public programs is now underway featuring audio/visual presentations and observing through the club’s 25inch telescope as well as members’ scopes every clear Friday evening. On Friday afternoons after 3 p.m., phone messages are posted on the Okanagan Observatory event phone 250-3008SKY (8759) notifying if weather conditions will permit the observatory to open that night, together with the starting time. You can also view the partial eclipse at the Okanagan Observatory, located approximately 35

minutes east of Kelowna following Highway 3 to the Big White turnoff, and then east on the Big White road to the Observatory sign. Community support has enabled an ongoing program of expansion and improvements of the facilities. To assist this year’s program, a special fund-raising dinner will be held at the Kelowna Curling Club on Saturday, May 26 fea-

turing Canadian astronomer Dr. Ken Tapping who recently received the international honour of having an asteroid named after him. Dr. Tapping’s topic will be ‘Did an Asteroid Wipe Out the Dinosaurs?’ The evening will include a roast beef dinner, salads and a do-it-yourself sundae dessert, as well as a silent auction and special Okanagan Observatory displays. The public is invited to

attend and dinner tickets are available for $40 until May 23 by calling 250-763-3573. Okanagan Centre RASC has about 100 members from Osoyoos to Salmon Arm taking part in three meeting groups in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton (www.ocrasc.ca). Further information on the Okanagan Observatory can be found at www.okanaganobservatory.ca.

Students active in community Morning Star Staff

Vernon Christian’s middle school students recently ventured out into the community to give their time and energy in service to others. “Various service projects were completed during what we call, ‘Driven to the Streets,’” said Melannie Armanini, teacher at the secondary campus. Crews cleaned up a section of 27th Street as a part of the city’s Adopt-A-Road program. Middle school students worked with some younger students at the elementary campus, and had a group complete some spring cleaning with compost tidying and grounds keeping tasks. “We were especially pleased to be able to send groups to three elderly residences here in Vernon, where students visited residents while playing lawn darts, bocce and enjoying laughter over other games,” said Armanini.

Falkland businesses urged to track their trash Morning Star Staff

The ColumbiaShuswap Regional District has developed a waste audit tool kit for Falkland businesses to borrow.

The audit involves going through one day’s worth of refuse and sorting it into appropriate piles. The kit provides a tarp, gloves, bags, labels, a scale and

an assessment form. “The kit has stepby-step instructions and everything you need to do the audit,” said Carmen Fennell, CSRD waste reduction

Support each step with stylish comfort

facilitator. “It is geared for any type of commercial business, whether it is an office, retail or food based.” Once a business realizes how much material can be diverted by recycling, the amount of waste can often be reduced drastically. “Not only does that mean saving money by taking fewer loads to

the landfill, but it also helps the environment by diverting material that can be recycled,” said Fennell. After a few months, the process is repeated to determine improvements. Helping businesses find ways of waste reduction was one of the recommendations of the CSRD’s solid waste reduction plan.

“This is one way the CSRD is supporting businesses decrease what they’re sending to the landfill,” said Fennell. “We’re even prepared to help if it’s needed.” The regional district will publicly recognize a business that has taken the time and effort to do the audit and shows it’s sending

less refuse to the landfill. “The CSRD will be creating and presenting a sustainability award to the business that takes a real leadership role in promoting sustainability,” said Fennell. Falkland businesses wanting more information on the waste audit tool kit, contact 250-833-5936.

4HE BEGINNING OF THE END

Four years of study ends in Twenty Twelve for UBC Okanagan fine arts students KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff

For Marissa Brown and Heather Leier, 2012 not only marks the Mayan calendarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed end of the world, but the year they wrapped up their schooling at UBC Okanagan. Both recent graduates of the bachelor of fine arts (BFA) degree program, housed in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department of creative and critical studies, the women are hoping the doomsday prophesy will wait just a little while longer as they prepare for another big art exhibition with their fellow graduates. Originally held last month at the UBCO campus, the graduate show, aptly titled Twenty Twelve, features the work of 34 students and is about to move into the Vernon Public Art Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the great things at UBCO has been getting our art out into the community,â&#x20AC;? said Brown, who is originally from Vernon and has recently returned home to work at the VPAG. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of our students have shown their work in the public art galleries in Penticton, Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice for our work to go beyond the campus.â&#x20AC;? Twenty Twelve features a broad spectrum of art practice, from traditional art forms such as painting, printmaking and sculpture, as well as interactive sound and video displays, large-scale digital photography, animation, soft sculptures, illustrated journals, and screen-printed collage. There is even an opportunity to engage with relational art in the form of a freestanding confession booth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see a good mix of mediums and subject matter,â&#x20AC;? said Leier, who is based in Kelowna and is hoping to enter a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in fine arts program in the near future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The artists have been in different places and concepts, even geographically, and that is reflected. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice snapshot.â&#x20AC;? The show is also a reflection of what has come out of four years of study at the school. Besides the technical practice of learning to use the tools of their respective trades, the BFA students are guided towards con-

Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marissa Brown is one of 34 UBC Okanagan fourth-year bachelor of fine arts students showing their work during the Twenty Twelve: BFA Graduate Exhibition at the Vernon Public Art Gallery May 31 to July 26. ceptual thinking by the faculty on hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year compared to other years has really introduced interdisciplinary studies, mixing media and cross disciplining them with other art forms, such as painters being introduced to sculpture,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We learn all the things that are happening out there and are guided by our professors, who support you and help you make your work the best it can be,â&#x20AC;? added Leier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps put things into perspective that not every piece is the end all be all. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beginning of our art careers, so not everything you do is going to be shown.â&#x20AC;? Although the VPAG exhibit will be a smaller-scale version of what was shown at UBCO last month, with their professors helping the students in selecting a piece to show, the graduates already have the

knowledge of what goes into installing a grand-scale exhibition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially difficult to coordinate such a big group,â&#x20AC;? said Leier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left up to us to not only generate the art, but to figure out what we are going to show and how we are going to show it.â&#x20AC;? And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a way to say goodbye to what has been their world the past four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than the technical skills and the quality of my work improving, I think connecting with other artists has been my favourite part,â&#x20AC;? said Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a unique community, and we are more connected now even as we move away to different parts of the world,â&#x20AC;? added Leier. Twenty Twelve opens in the Topham

Brown gallery at the VPAG May 31. Also opening are three other exhibitions all featuring the work of Okanagan-based artists. Shauna Oddleifsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I Heard a Story Once is comprised of a series of drawings that address the issues of wild animals and their intersection with the urban environment. In addition to drawings, Oddleifson will exhibit miniature intaglio prints of animals personified with human-like attributes and actions that raise awareness about their coexistence and daily interactions with the people living in interfacing areas. The Kelowna-based artist will provide an artist presentation on her exhibition at the VPAG on June 23 at 1 p.m. Suggested donation is $5. Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amy Burkard is also opening her exhibition, Cozy, a series of sculptural objects that explore the relationship of the form and function in relation to the discourse about what constitutes an art object versus a craft. Burkardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition further addresses the issues of functional art, its utilitarian value, and its aesthetic purpose. Burkard talks about her exhibition June 9 at 1 p.m., and will also teach a felting workshop open to all levels from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day. Anyone interested in taking part in the workshop are asked to pre-register by calling the gallery at 250-545-3173. More information is available online at vernonpublicartgallery.com. The Vernon Camera Club is also opening its exhibition, Through the Lens. The group of local photographers meet twice a month to share knowledge and experience through presentations, photo competitions, workshops and photo shoots. Artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abilities encompass novice to master, using film and digital, ranging from simple to complex equipment. In the last year, members have enjoyed a diversity of presentations both amateur and professional, including fashion, nature, and travel photography. Guests, artists, and members are invited to attend the opening reception for all the shows May 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. Patrons can enjoy food and drinks, live guitar and a lyrical performance by local musician Jimmy Balfour. The reception is open to the public and admission is by donation to the gallery.

Vernon band Amistad hosts a concert in the Polson Park bandshell on May 26 at 2 p.m. to raise money for the Jessica Eaman Scholarship Fund.

Bands play in memory of ski coach Morning Star Staff

A group of young musicians are playing for a special cause in a concert planned for Polson Park on May 26. Local band Amistad, who won best stage performance at this year’s Our Kids Have Talent musical competition, is hosting the concert to raise money for the Jessica Eaman Scholarship Fund. Eaman, who worked in the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre Lodge and was also a club coach, died in a car accident March 15. The money raised from the concert will go towards the scholarship in her name so that a youth without the means to try cross-country skiing can have the opportunity, said Amistad’s lead singer/guitarist Aidan Andrews, who is helping organize the event. “Me and several members of Amistad

ski frequently during the winter, and so we knew Jessica,” said Andrews. “The fund provides an opportunity for children to take ski lessons if they do not have the money.” Amistad, which also features Nolan Bassett (bass, vocals), Carson Bassett (drums), Brent Matterson (lead guitar), and Craig Matterson (guitar, keyboard, vocals), will be joined by fellow bands The Fro Bros. and Better Than Average. Sponsored by Wentworth Music and the Rarearth Music Fest/Our Kids Have Talent, Amistad will be selling their demo CD consisting of six original songs. The event starts at 2 p.m. in the Polson Park bandshell. Admission is free, however, donations for the scholarship fund and food items for the food bank will be accepted.

ouTube superstars Karmin’s third release, Hello, has a groomed-for-success sound that highlights the duo’s programming and hook factory esthetic. The Massachusetts duo (Amy Heidemann, vocals and Nick Noonan keys, programming) displays all the right moves and a plastic electronicdriven sound that thrives on mechanized arrangements and hyped, motormouthed catchphrases from Heidemann. They sound “good” (in a technical sense) and are a perfect example of business savvy in the music industry. The songs on Hello showcase all the latest trends, but (and this is a big but) someDean Gordon-Smith thing is missing here. By the time the third track (I Told You So) chirps along, it becomes glaringly obvious. The music is contrived and synthetic: There is no soul. Pop smarts and studio proficiency they’ve got, but they sound fake. Heidemann can deliver a rap like a coffeehyped Gwen Stefani but she does it too often. Karmin is clever. Brokenhearted has all the hooks and sheen of a teenage dream mega-hit. The album is overkill in this area. It’s a hook factory intent on mass production. Too Many Fish is a humorous bop tune with rote catchphrases spat out in rapid-fire delivery by Heidemann, a routine done over and over. Karmin shows restraint in the album’s length (only seven songs), but by then, that’s more than enough of this Barbie doll pop.

STREET SOUNDS

Armstrong Metal Festival returns to Hassen Arena Morning Star Staff

Those who like to turn their amps up to 11 will want to be in the North Okanagan this summer when the West Metal Entertainment Society stages its fourth annual Armstrong Metalfest, July 20 to 22. Formerly known as Armstrong Open Air, the festival started in the summer of 2009, and was inspired by the summer outdoor metal festival circuit in Europe. “What started out as a small word-ofmouth gathering on a rural farm just outside of Armstrong, drew approximately 300 people out to see 11 Okanagan metal bands rip up the stage made out of a pair of flatdeck trailers,” said Jesse Valstar, who is with Armstrong band Odinfist and is president of the newly formed West Metal Entertainment Society. Moved indoors to the Hassen Arena last year, this year’s festival not only features such Okanagan

bands as Odinfist, Xul, Anthrosiore, SFS and Cast Into Ashes, but some of B.C. and Alberta’s biggest, and loudest, metal acts. “The Armstrong Metalfest 2012 is going to be the biggest step yet for B.C. heavy metal festivals,” said Valstar. “People from all over Western Canada show up in Armstrong on

Friday morning and set up camp for the weekend. During their stay, they will experience the best heavy metal Western Canada has to offer.” The festival is also offering Thrash Wrestling title matches outside the Hassen Arena on the Friday as well as a medieval sword demonstration tournament set up by

Okanagan

Blood And Iron on the Saturday. Fully catered, with security provided, the event is open to all ages, however, those under 16 or under will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Information and weekend passes, which include two nights of camping, can be found online at www.arm-

Burton film is better off undead

SOLO & ACOUSTIC

ark Shadows tells the tale of Barnabas Collins, (Johnny Depp,) a vampire who’s been buried for 200 years, the victim of a witch’s curse (Eva Green), who grew tired of suffering an unrequited love. Accidentally discovered during some excavating near his family’s estate in their namesake Taylor & Howe fishing town of Collinsport, Maine, the vampire is exhumed to find himself in the year 1972. Barnabas takes it upon himself to restore what is left of his family’s fortune, honour and position in the town. However, the witch who desires him is still around and if she can’t have him, no one will. We say, “See it if you’re a fan of cute things.” TAYLOR: This film is based on a tongue-in-cheek “sci-fi soap opera” of the same name that ran on ABC in the ‘60s. It has a healthy cult status, but I’d never heard of it. Now that I have, I still don’t care. This film was definitely light entertainment, as I suppose it was meant to be, but it feels sort of self-indulgent for the people involved. I read that Depp loved the show as a kid, as did director Tim Burton, but I’m wondering how many others did? HOWE: Probably not many. Most of the people I’ve talked to have never heard of it. If you are going to see Dark Shadows thinking it’s a comedy, don’t bother. All the jokes used in the movie are in the minute-and-a-half trailer you can see on TV or online.

REEL REVIEWS

PETER MOUNTAIN/WARNER BROS.

Johnny Depp polishes his fangs as Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows. TAYLOR: It kind of felt like a comedic soap opera, and by that I mean “it belongs on television.” The jokes were just dirty enough that you couldn’t quite show the movie on normal TV, but it was borderline, about where “dirty” meets “cutesy,” if that’s a word. HOWE: Ahhh, you mean “dirtsy.” TAYLOR: One thing that I’ve always enjoyed about Tim Burton films is their look. This film, although not over the top in its design, it had a very nice, realistic darkness to it. I especially enjoyed the black woods and blacker sea, the estate house too had a great Gothic realism. HOWE: That’s where I was a little disappointed. Yes, Burton’s movies are dark, but they always have the offset of really

vivid characters and colours. The brightest colour in Dark Shadows is Helena Bonham Carter’s orange hair. To me it just felt blahhhhh. TAYLOR: If you think Depp’s cute, makeup clad quirkiness is enough to carry a movie, then you might find yourself satisfied. I couldn’t care less. HOWE: Johnny’s a good actor, but he often coasts through these types of roles and they’re getting stale. Overall I was disappointed, but on a positive note the 70s’ soundtrack was groovy. –– Taylor gives Dark Shadows 2 fangs out of 5. –– Howe gives it 1.5 litres of blood out of 5. The feature is currently showing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
