VSS gives ‘Mr. V’ rousing send-off ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

or one of the few times in his administrative career, Vernon Secondary School principal Morris Vardabasso was unaware of a school assembly. That’s because the one called for Wednesday morning at VSS, which staff and students knew about, was in his honour. Vardabasso retires at the end of January, fulfilling a goal of seeing the new high school open to replace the old brick building, which it did on Jan. 8. “They told me there was a problem in here (gymnasium), I walk in and see all of you guys,” said Vardabasso, called “Mr. V” by students, who was greeted with a standing ovation by the entire student body and staff. Vardabasso was given a seat at centre court, accompanied by his wife, Julie, daughter Natalie, and guests from the school district including superintendent Bev Rundell. Vice-principal Tony Dolinar and counsellor Dennis Gendron served as emcees – Gendron joked that Vardabasso was “the best-ever principal in the new building.” A video was played with students saying good bye to Vardabasso, who retires after a 33-year career that began in 1979 after his graduation from UBC. He started teaching at the old Armstrong Junior Secondary, then moved to Pleasant Valley Secondary to teach physics and math. Vardabasso moved to Fulton Secondary in Vernon and taught physics and computers. He worked for the school board and Ministry of Education before returning to the hallways as vice-principal, then later principal, at Kalamalka Secondary. He finished his career by spending nine years and 11 months in the old VSS, and one month in the new building. Natalie Vardabasso had the pleasure of attending Kal while her dad was the principal. “Two moments rudely reminded me what it was like to have your dad as principal,” said Natalie. “I was sent to the principal’s office for starting a revolution in computers class, and heard the worst words ever imagined coming out of a principal’s mouth: ‘We’ll talk about this at home.’ “And then there was the awkward experiences at high school dances. After not being asked by any boy to dance song after song, I came to the realization their principal was my dad and he was standing right there, watching.”

Retiring Vernon Secondary principal Morris Vardabasso shakes athletic director Sean Smith’s hand for enshrining his school jersey Wednesday, which is the first to hang on the wall of fame at the new school. Vardabasso (below) hugs Grade 12 student Danika Damini. Natalie Vardabasso is following in her father’s footsteps. The day after he officially retires, she enters her very own classroom to teach her first class at Fulton. Grade 12 leadership students Mckinnley Massey and Natalie Johnston presented Vardabasso with a clock as a going-away present, and let the principal know how much he’s respected and how much he’ll be missed. “The positive difference you’ve made, you’re more than just a principal to most of us,” said Massey. “You’re a mentor and a friend. VSS will never be the same. Thanks for all you’ve done for us.” Vardabasso himself is an alumni of VSS, graduating in 1974 after starring for the Panthers’ volleyball and basketball teams. VSS athletic director Sean Smith announced Wednesday that Vardabasso – who once scored 68 points in a Vernon summer basketball league game – will be the first inductee in the new VSS Athletic Hall

of Fame. “Morris was one of the hardest workers you could come upon,” said Vardabasso’s Grade 12 coach Rick Inrig, who coached at VSS for seven years and is now a retired school administrator living in Surrey. “He worked endlessly. He just never stopped. He was one of those guys you could count on game in and game out to work his butt off.” Vardabasso was presented with his framed No. 21 jersey from 1974 along with a team photo. He was given another standing ovation by students and staff before addressing them one last time. “I want to thank you,” he said to the student body. “You’re my inspiration, students. You’re why I do what I do. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.” Vardabasso also praised his wife, Julie, “for allowing me to spend evenings away from home at sporting events or theatre productions, I couldn’t have done it without

Enderby plans sent off course

Sign Of The TimeS

Morning Star Staff

Stephanie Stecyk/Morning Star

After standing for 40 years, the Village Green Hotel sign on 27th Street was torn down Wednesday. This was the final step in renovations by Maddocks Construction. See a video by Ken Robb and Jason Henderson at vernonmorningstar.com.

Enderby politicians have hit a road block over proposed traffic changes. City council met with businesses Tuesday to discuss plans for one-way traffic on Cliff Avenue. Howie Cyr “There is a lot of uneasiness about what a change will do to business,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “There are businesses with margins that are already slim and they are worried a change in traffic will further impact their bottom line.” Based on the meeting, Cyr expects city council has no choice but to abandon the proposal, which would have encouraged more pedestrian activity. “Given what we heard, I doubt we would further entertain a oneway,” he said.

The other issue that was discussed Wednesday was a proposed new brand to promote Enderby. “People are wondering why we are rebranding the city and some believe the current brand services the community well,” said Cyr. The proposed brand includes an aboriginal pictograph of a person holding two fish next to the Shuswap River. The wording says, “Enderby and District: Where the Shuswap meets the Okanagan.” The present brand is, “Enderby: Top of the Okanagan.” Cyr believes there needs to be more discussion between the city and businesses about new branding. “We need to do a better job of informing them as to why we need to do that,” said Cyr. About 60 people crowded into council chambers, with many having to stand in the hall. “The turnout tells me there is a lot of interest in the community,” said Cyr.

Foster swinging back as ‘objectivity’ questioned richard rolke

Morning Star Staff

Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster is refuting the latest allegations of conflict of interest. John Doyle, B.C.’s auditor general, has suggested Foster should have not been involved in discussions about his contract because Doyle had expressed concerns about expense documents related to Foster. “He is entitled to his opinion,” said Foster. Eric Foster “The process has been followed properly.” Given a report into renovations at Foster’s office in 2010, Doyle says Foster would have been “wise” to step aside as chairperson of the legislative committee considering whether Doyle should remain on the job.

Doyle says he also objects to a question he was asked during his interview with the committee. “I was underwhelmed by a question I got in the conduct of the interview that made it quite clear to me that I had good reason to doubt his objectivity in respect to his role as chair,” Doyle said of Foster. “I’m thinking about how to deal with that.” Foster was upset when asked about Doyle’s comments. “I would suggest that meeting was incamera. I am not commenting,” he said. Foster insists he was not aware of Doyle’s report about his expense documents when he was named committee chairperson. “The auditor general had never contacted me about this,” he said. Foster has stated he only became aware of the report two weeks ago when he was approached by the Victoria Times Colonist. Asked why he didn’t step aside then to

avoid a potential conflict of interest, Foster said, “We were pretty much done the process at that time.” The committee has been under fire for a two-week-old decision not to renew Doyle’s contract after six years on the job. It was decided on Wednesday, though, to ask Doyle to remain in his role for another two years. “There’s been an ongoing discussion over the last week and a half,” said Foster Doyle says he won’t make a decision on accepting the two-year extension until February when the Legislature votes on whether he should be reappointed. “This isn’t an offer-and-acceptance situation,” Doyle said. But Foster is adamant that back-andforth negotiations with Doyle won’t occur. “Our committee has made an offer and we’re done. It’s up to him to reply or not,” said Foster. Foster says a factor in the committee

Village of Lumby plants tree removal policy richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Rules for chopping down trees are taking root in Lumby. Council has adopted a policy that will address the maintenance and removal of trees. “We had no policy on unsafe trees — what can be removed, what can’t be removed,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. The issue arose after trees were taken down at the Lumby Campground and some residents expressed concern. “Trees are a huge issue in the community,” said Acton. In 1992, the provincial government amended legislation to allow municipalities to approve local tree protection policies.

“The Village of Lumby receives several requests each year from residents who want the village to remove trees for many different reasons,” said Roger Huston, public works superintendent, in a report. “Some residents request removal because they do not like to rake leaves or to improve a view. But, some residents do not want any trees removed for any reason whatsoever.” Huston believes the policy will clarify the decision-making process for removal and maintenance so it is consistent. “Research for the development of this policy was derived from evaluation of other existing local

government tree policies, interviews and discussions with several municipal parks

managers, arborists and horticulturists including best practices,” he said.

A permit will be required before a tree is removed. “We want to know

what’s going on and we want to be informed,” said Acton. “Someone fall-

ing trees can change the course of a creek because of bank erosion.”

Grade 4 and 7 students will soon be writing their Foundation Skills Assessments. The Vernon Teachers Association suggests the FSAs will direct learning towards preparation for annual tests that measure only a narrow range of abilities. “The more importance we place on the FSA, the more time and resources we steal from real learning and the

expense of the testing leaves fewer financial resources for students in classrooms,” said Kevin Bader, VTA president. “We do not object to testing and assessment. In fact, we assess the learning of our students in many ways each day, using a wide variety of measures, including

Snowpack on par locally Morning Star Staff

Water supply levels currently appear sufficient for Greater Vernon. According to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, January snowpack levels are at 99 per cent of normal for the Okanagan-Kettle Basin, which includes the Kalamalka Lake water source. The South Thompson Basin, covering Duteau Creek water reservoirs, is recorded at 100 per cent of normal. “This information indicates that we are currently experiencing an average year for snow levels,” said Jennifer Miles, Regional District of

North Okanagan water sustainability co-ordinator. The B.C. River Forecast Centre also predicts normal or close to average temperatures and precipitation for the next three months. However, Miles says it is early in the season and climate and hydrological conditions are often variable despite forecasts. “Greater Vernon Water will continue to monitor climate trends and water supplies,” she said. “Updates will be reported as they are received via media releases, in local newspapers and also at www. rdno.ca/water.”

While teachers continue to protest what they believe is an unnecessary test, the Vernon School District believes there is some merit to the process. Grade 4 and 7 students will soon be writing the annual Foundation Skills Assessments. “They are based on B.C. curriculum and reflect the province of B.C.,” said Bev Rundell, district superintendent. “We have used the results around indicators for schools (with learning assistant students). How do we support students challenged in certain areas?” But Rundell admits she has some concerns about how one group uses the FSA results. “I don’t agree with the Fraser Institute using it to rank schools. They are just one indicator of what goes on in schools,” she said.

However, Rundell says there are limited reasons for students to not write the FSAs and they involve medical emergencies.

seem to be spending more of my spare time researching tractors and chicken coop designs and less time keeping up with the outside world these days. I’m much more interested in learning what attachments I can hook up to a three-point PTO (power takeoff) hitch than I am about where Luongo will be traded, or about what Lance Armstrong ‘fessed up to in his awkward interview with Oprah (what did it change after all? He’s still arrogant and rich, and won’t face any repercussions even though he admitted to being a fraud). Part of my current Graeme Corbett mind-set comes from my desire/necessity to learn how to farm, part of it is a lack of cable television, and the other part is just plain ‘ol spite. While most of the nation gleefully welcomed back the NHL last weekend after a 113-day lockout, I just couldn’t get my game face on. The Habs-Leafs game was playing on HNIC at my in-laws last Saturday, but aside from not being a fan of either team, I tuned it out because I want the players and owners to feel a little blowback after their greedy power struggle. The feeling I have over the lockout is sadly similar to the one I get when I see gas prices skyrocket on the Friday before a long weekend. It just isn’t necessary. Not watching games isn’t really taking a stand because I don’t have cable, so my one form of activism has been to back out of our annual office pool. Not to brag, but I won both the office pool and the Sun-FM playoff pool last year, so there is potentially a little sacrifice involved. There are scores of Facebook groups lobby-

ing for an NHL boycott. The most popular one – the Just Drop It campaign – had nearly 22,000 ‘likes,’ plus more followers across other social media platforms. After that, however, the numbers drop faster than Scott Gomez’s stats did when he joined Le Bleu-Blanc-Rouge (I actually hope he lights it up with the Sharks...but I’m not supposed to be following all that nonsense, right?). In other words, Gary Bettman isn’t exactly quaking in his neatly pressed power suit. Launched on Dec. 8, Just Drop It asked fans to pledge that for every game the NHL/NHLPA took from them after Dec. 21, they would boycott the league for the equivalent number of games after the lockout ends. So instead of a season-long shunning – which would be pretty much impossible – the campaign was meant to be more of a reminder for owners that fans don’t like to be taken for granted. Only time will tell if those who took the hockey hiatus oath stick with the bargain, and, even if they do, whether it will have any affect on the league. My mini-grudge with the NHL won’t last forever. It can’t. I like the game too much. I’ll probably come crawling back if the Canucks make the playoffs. Until that time, I will happily track the progress of the Vernon Vipers to see if they can squeak into the playoffs. Despite enduring a horrendous first half, there seems to be a genuine belief among the players they can make the dance. I guess if there is one positive to this lockout fiasco, it has reaffirmed that Canadians are nuts about hockey. Not really sure we needed the reminder, but how many fan bases would tolerate this kind of treatment – for the record, this is the fourth lockout/strike in 20 years – and still remain loyal?

Flip-flops aren’t unusual in politics but the back-and-forth over B.C.’s auditor general takes the cake. On Wednesday, the five members of a legislative committee voted to renew John Doyle’s contract for two years. That wouldn’t generally be significant except the same MLAs had only decided a week-and-a-half earlier that they didn’t want him at all and weren’t willing to grant him a second, six-year term in office. It would be interesting to know what occurred over the last few days to change the committee’s collective mind. Are any initial reservations over Doyle’s activities now irrelevant? Or was the reversal a direct result of the furor that erupted over Doyle being handed his walking papers? Of course the actual reason for canning Doyle and then welcoming him back will never be known because the committee hides behind confidentiality rules. And that is unfortunate as the Liberals and the NDP — both represented on the committee — have always presented themselves as the defenders of openness and transparency. The residents of B.C. have a right to know what has been going on behind the scenes as the auditor general represents their interests when it comes to the spending of taxpayers’ dollars. They must have confidence that the process that appoints an auditor general is thorough and not at the mercy of political games. But with no firm details being released, there is only one explanation for the public to consider — Doyle’s contract originally didn’t get renewed because he has been critical of the Liberal government and now he’s been endorsed because Premier Christy Clark told the committee to bring the controversy to a close. The entire mess just shows it’s business as usual in Victoria.

s the lead proponent of the Shuswap Inclusion Project organizing against racism and hate, we have grave concerns over what is happening between the Canadian government and our First Nations people. We are concerned that these events will serve to unravel the good will between the aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities that we have both worked so hard to build over the last three years. We are concerned that whenever there is conflict, individuals feel compelled to choose sides. We are concerned that when faced with complex issues, like those concerning our First Nations people, the tendency is to simplify the issue in a way that distorts the reality and makes reaching agreement more difficult to achieve. We would encourage our Shuswap neighbours to avoid all

three by: not stereotyping aboriginals, respecting their right to work towards improving the conditions of their people, and upholding their right to differ with each other as well as with non-aboriginals. This is an opportunity to become informed about the issues involved,

no wolf hunting It is my opinion that once again, man has to control nature. So wolves were driven to extinction decades ago. Now their population is increasing as it should. Well let's shoot and trap them mercilessly to keep them in check. This is just a pitiful excuse for hunters and trappers to fulfill their need to kill something. Better get ready for a rodent explosion. Nature provides its own checks and balances. Men should leave them alone. Yvonne Jordan support sports complex I am writing in regards to the community sports facility being proposed at the Okanagan College site. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed numerous negative comments being made by folks who have written in, by the media, and by a number of local politicians. Now that a site has been agreed upon, the tourniquete seems to be applied to nickel and dime the complex. In order to attract the Summer Games and other championships, the facility requires an official sized track, infield, steeple chase pit, changing rooms with showers, meeting room, storage facility, a concession and stands that could all be under the same roof.

and to come to your own conclusions without choosing sides. Respecting the opinion of others does not require you to agree, but rather, that you acknowledge human fallible and that there is as much a chance the other is right as there is that you are right.

To my estimation, it would be unfortunate if a roof over the stands was not included. The cost per household would be less than three lattes. The benefits of the sports facility is quite significant and the complex will be in high demand by different user groups. It increases the profile of the college and provides about $1 to $2 million of revenue to the Vernon area for events like the summer and seniors games. Numerous people with health issues, elementary and high schools likewise, can make use of this community complex. The rubberized track is ideal for walking and would be utilized by dozens of citizens daily. I am a retired senior resident in Coldstream and I am fully aware of the sports facility costs being charged against my residence. But I also have three grandchildren who are participating in our local school sports to whom I feel a responsibility in offering them such a sports facility in spite of the $17 per year increase on my property taxes. I hope the silent majority is like minded and supports the facility at referendum time. It is time for all council members to be on board.

Aboriginals and non-aboriginal have shared the Shuswap for generations with varying degrees of enmity. It is important you don’t remain idle while your country is being pulled apart. If you have aboriginal friends, now is the time to reach out to them. (If you don’t have, you might ask yourself why not.) Ask your aboriginal friends to help you understand their perspective. While listening isn’t the same as agreeing, in some ways, it demonstrates more respect. Furthermore, listening is the best means of prompting others to listen in turn. If we both block out the noise and sincerely listen to each other, solutions will soon start to emerge. Bernie Derosiers, shuswap settlement services

97, near Crystal Waters Road, Wednesday shortly before 1 p.m. “The roads were wet, slushy and covered with a layer of snow at the time of the collision,” said Cpl. Tania Carroll, with the Kelowna RCMP. “The Taurus was attempting to overtake the bus northbound in a curve, when it was observed swerving, losing control before striking the side of the bus.” After colliding with the bus, the vehicle crossed over the meridian and landed in the southbound facing ditch. “Thankfully there wasn’t a vehicle traveling southbound when the Taurus crossed those lanes of traffic,” said Carroll. There was minor damage to the bus and none of the 20 to 28 passengers and driver of the bus were injured. The Jaws of Life were used to extract a female passenger from the Taurus. The 80-year-old woman sustained some injuries and was taken by ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital. The 60-year-old male driver had minor injuries as well. The vehicle is a complete writeoff. “Neither occupant of the Taurus were wearing their seatbelts, and the tires on the vehicle were all seasons and in poor condition,” said Carroll. “This is another example of motorists not driving to the current weather conditions and to the conditions of the road as well as not having their vehicle equipped with the necessary tires. “Both occupants are very lucky their injuries were not significantly more serious.”

Yoga master in town for tourney Morning Star Staff

Vernon is poised to stage some of the province’s top yoga finalists when the B.C. Southern Interior Regional Asana Championships come to town Sunday. Bikram Yoga Vernon hosts the competition,

which is free to attend, at 1 p.m. With the event comes an international yoga champion, Joseph Encinia, who is judging the championships and will also be offering a special Q&A beginning series class today at 5

p.m. Encinia last visited the local yoga studio in 2011, at which time Dionne Kopeck, director and owner of Bikram in Vernon said: “We are really lucky to have someone of his caliber in our region.” The three time national and 2011 international Yoga Asana Champion has a lifechanging story about his experience with yoga. “I haven’t always been very healthy; now, in large part due to Bikram yoga, I am in the best shape I have ever

been,” states Encinia on his web page. At a young age Encinia suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and then a heart attack at the age of 13. Following a long journey to regain his health, Encinia discovered Bikram yoga. “I simply expected a physical workout. I found much more than that,” he states. “I have transformed. I no longer suffer constant pain. I’ve lost weight and developed lean muscle mass. I can contort my body into positions I never

thought possible. I have gained a peace of mind I previously never knew existed. I have transcended many limitations within myself – mentally, physically and emotionally. I am accomplishing things I once thought impossible.” Which is why Encinia now dedicates his life to sharing Bikram yoga with others. Encinia’s class today in Vernon is $50. See the Bikram Yoga Vernon studio for details: 3204 29th St. or call 1-778475-5845.

Cherry replant harvests concerns

LIMITED TIME OFFER

judie steeves Black Press

There are concerns about the agriculture minister’s decision to permit tree fruit growers to replant to different varieties of fruit, but most agree people can’t be prevented from replanting from apples to cherries. The $2 million replant assistance program announced last year to begin this year, was for orchardists to replant from one fruit to a new, highervalue fruit variety; not from one fruit to a different one. However, Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick stated recently that the program would be changed to allow replanting from one fruit to a different one. Christine Dendy, president Norm Letnick of the Okanagan-Kootenay Cherry Growers Association, admitted you can’t stop people from growing whatever they want to grow, so in that sense she agreed with the decision. However, she said it’s important that growers think before they replant from apples to cherries. First, they should think about how they’re going to pick them and pack them, and about such issues as labour and water. Cherries are a riskier crop to grow because they’re a more-delicate and a more-perishable crop which can’t be stored for months as apples can. Market conditions are volatile for that reason: they all come on the market as they ripen instead of some going into storage. “If growers can grow them and market them well, it wouldn’t be so bad. But, they have to grow consistently better-quality fruit,” she said. “It’s easier to handle a large crop if it’s good quality, but substandard cherries drag prices down for everyone.” If the replant program creates a spike in expansion of cherry acreage, it’s another reason why it’s important that all growers get together and form a B.C. Cherry Council, which would work on trade access issues to countries such as China, which represents a huge potential market for B.C. fruit, said Dendy. Letnick says the replant program is there to support growers who want to take advantage of the market’s demand for high-value apples and other tree fruits and encourages growers who plan to switch to higher-value varieties, to make the change. “My objective is still the same, to promote the growth and production of high-value, high-quality B.C. fruit, and to develop a stronger, more sustainable tree fruit sector that results in growers earning more dollars,” he said. Letnick says he will commit to work on making the replant program regular, annual, sustainable and bankable to benefit growers’ profitability and competitiveness.

There’s more expensive or adult-only events. “We wanted to do something that’s for everybody.” Tickets for the fling are $5 per person and pre-school kids get in free. The event will feature music from a DJ from Boogie Nights. “There will be spot dances like a motherson or father-daughter dance,” said Boyle. “We’ll be mixing things up so families have a fun time together.” There will also be fun events like a photo

Cycle supports trails

RED TAG SALE

Morning Star Staff

A Vernon resident is encouraging people to discover an Okanagan attraction. Everyone who owns a bicycle is invited to take part in the inaugural Okanagan Trestle Tour on the TransCanada Trail July 14. “This self-paced recreational ride is not a timed race, but the chance to do a one-day trip of one of the most scenic regions in all of B.C., the historic Kettle Valley Railway,” said Glenn Bond, organizer. “This 80-kilometre route starts with 18 trestles and two tunnels and is flat for the first 36 kilometres with an easy 2.2 per cent decline to Penticton. “ There will be five rest stops offering food, drinks and mechanical support. As cyclists arrive in Penticton, they’ll be greeted by music, a barbecue and wine expo. “This will be the 10th anniversary of the Okanagan Mountain fire,” said Bond. “The trestles were reopened in 2008 to great fanfare. Now, it’s time to celebrate this amazing trail and history again.” Myra Canyon was designated as a Canadian National Historic Site in 2002. “The KVR offers panoramic scenery out over Okanagan Lake and cycling is the perfect way to see it,” said Bond. Registration includes a bike shuttle to the start and an event T-shirt, barbecue, entertainment and the wine expo. Early bird pricing ($125 for adults) is in effect until March 15 and goes up to $145 from March 15 to June 15. The event will support the Trans-Canada Trail Society, the B.C. Trail Society and KVR maintenance. Register online at www.okanagantrestlestour.com

Pepper paces Cats Morning Star Staff

Mitchell Pepper drained 27 points as the VSS Panthers ambushed the Pleasant Valley Saints 85-37 in North Zone Senior AA Boys Basketball League play Wednesday night. Chris Inscho canned 24 points, including the first senior Panther dunk in the new gym. Shelby Hartwig recorded 12 points and 15 rebounds to help the Cats, who got 11 points and 10 boards from Matt Forsythe. Travis Barker enjoyed a stellar showing with eight points. Sam Fennell fired eight points for Pleasant Valley, who trailed 18-13 after one quarter. Pepper and Inscho, both Grade 11 students, were magic in the second and third quarters, counting 40 points between them. Hartwig, who also has a year left at VSS, and Forsythe ruled the boards. In other Wednesday night action, the Fulton Maroons zapped the host Seaton Sonics 62-46. Tye Kitzman rung up 16 points to lead the Maroons, while Marshall Kazemir and Darrien Broomfield each drained a dozen points. In Tuesday night action, Kitzman flushed 29 points as the Maroons iced Pleasant Valley 90-35. Riley Beauchamp bagged 19 points, while Broomfield added 14. Fulton visits the Kalamalka Lakers tonight (7:45) and then prepares for the Sa-Hali Sabres Invitational next weekend in Kamloops. In senior AA girls play Wednesday night, VSS stormed Pleasant Valley Sinners 80-16 behind 19 points from Sage Blundell. Quinsy Leier chalked up 16 points and a team-high 15 rebounds, while Karley Fugel

earned 14 points and nine boards and Mary Rice pocketed a dozen points and six rebounds. “One of our keys was rebounding and we were happy with that area tonight,” said VSS cocoach Bobby Mitchell. The 3-0 Panthers visited the Revelstoke Rams Thursday and entertain the Lakers Saturday at 6 p.m. in league games. Samantha Ferreir dialed 26 points and Hana Ouchi added 22 as Fulton iced the Sinners 80-35 Tuesday night. Grade 10 call-up Lee Richardson drained a dozen points, while Emma Miller canned 10 and Grade 10er Brittany Skrenek counted six points and 20 rebounds. Meranda Silva also had six points.

Brianna Falk recorded 13 points and four steals for the Cats. Reilly Lorenson, with nine, and Haley Stevens, with six, supported the attack. The Panthers were ahead by almost 20 points at the half, but the Maroons staged a comeback, heavily outscoring VSS in the fourth quarter. Panthers coach’ Michelle Wiebe gave full kudos to the Maroons. “If they’d have had another minute on the clock, they might have tied it up,” said Wiebe. Caleigh Graham sank 23 points and Kieanna Boomer-Jones added 10 for the Panthers. The teams will meet again in the 3:30 p.m. opener of the Fulton tournament today.

Knights ground Eagles for eighth straight KIJHL win Morning Star Staff

Riding a season-high eight-game win streak, the North Okanagan Knights are the hottest team in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. Kris Mallette’s Knights remained undefeated in 2013 with a 4-2 win over the Sicamous Eagles in a Doug Birks Division showdown Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The division-leading Knights (2911-1-2) did just enough to earn wins against lower-seeded opposition last Matty Saharchuk weekend, but Mallette knew it would take a better effort against the secondplace Eagles (25-10-2-4). “The guys responded extremely well,” said Mallette. “It

was one of the most important games of the season. You do the math and it can make or break where we finish for playoff seeding.” North Okanagan will face an equally difficult opponent when they battle the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (28-12-3-1) tonight in Armstrong. Terry Jones’ goal-happy Hawks lead the KIJHL with 201 goals and a plus-77 differential. The Knights are fifth at plus-44. North Okanagan’s top line of Matty Saharchuk, Derek Andrews and captain Steve Pantazopoulos carried the offence Wednesday, with Saharchuk collecting his teamleading 22nd and 23rd goals. Of the second goal, Mallette said: “One-on-one, he just buried his shoulder and carried it across the crease. It was a thing of beauty, going to the outside and powering to the net.

Pantazopoulos added three helpers, d-man David London earned his first snipe on a pointshot and Colton Thibault netted his 11th. Singles by the Eagles’ Michael Bell (2nd goal)and Corbin Marcotte (14th), with eight second to play in the first period, had the score tied 2-2 at the break. Dustin Nikkel recorded 24 saves in his first start since he was released by the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Kris Joyce was pulled in favour of Jack Surgenor (12 saves) after allowing three goals on a dozen shots. ICE CHIPS: Michael Hails is the Vancouver Island Junior B loop’s Player of the Week. The Vernon product helped the Comox Valley Glacier Kings split a weekend home-and-home with the Nanaimo Buccaneers, posting a 1.00 goals-against average and .936 save percentage. He is 6-4 with an overall GAA of 2.71. The Kings are second in the North Island Division at 18-18-2.

Vernon’s Jim Cotter got off to a sluggish start at The National men’s bonspiel Thursday in Port Hawkesbury, N.S. Cotter, who curls with third Jason (Gunner) Gunnlaugson and front-enders Ty Griffith and Rick Sawatsky, ended the day early after falling 9-1 to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.’s Brad Jacobs in just four ends. The Okanagan foursome, now 0-2, was forced into early handshakes after giving up four-enders in one and four. Cotter opened the 18-team, $100,000 spiel Thursday morning with a 5-2 loss to Switzerland’s Peter de Cruz. The Vernon skip started with the hammer, but gave up two single steals, along with a double in five to trail 4-0 after six ends. He finally cracked a deuce in seven, but de Cruz sealed the win with a single in eight. The Cotter crew faces Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen this morning (5 a.m. PT), Innerkip, Ont.’s Mark Kean at 8:30 a.m. and ends the round-robin against Winnipeg’s Jeff Stoughton at 4 p.m. Meanwhile, with Aron Herrick subbing for Cotter, Woodland Equipment grounded Sherry Heath’s De Vine Vintners 5-2 in Baron Insurance Super League play Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. After winning a rare coin toss, Woodland, now 10-4, scored two with an in-turn takeout. Skip Sandra Jenkins came back with a tight double for one in three for the 2-13 Vintners. Herrick used some solid lead stones by sub Darin Halloran to pull ahead with consecutive singles in four, five and six, and Jenkins counted one in seven before conceding. Mark Longworth’s Sladen Moore started slow, but

Fresh off an appearance at women’s provincials, Kuhn (6-9) burgled three points over the first two ends. Longworth (8-7) coolly drew the four-foot in the third end to cut the lead to two. NET took another single in four, but Sladen drew even with three straight singles in five, six and seven, and iced the game with a deuce in a junked-up final end. Dave Merklinger’s Canwest Propane sealed first place at 11-3 with a 7-2 win over Darrell (Heavy D) Houston’s Nufloors. A steal of one in the second end, followed by two more stolen points in three put Canwest in firm control. Houston (7-8) counted singles in four and six, but gave up deuces in five and seven.

Only 16 riders make the cut for X Games, which started Thursday in Aspen, Colo. It is an Olympic qualifier for the national team. Morrison skied against childhood idol, Noah Morrison and now friend and national teammate, TJ Schiller, in Whistler. He qualified first overall on day one and made the 12-man final the next day. Skiers went in reverse order, so Morrison dropped in last. He crashed on the last jump of his first go, but laid down a world-class run to secure his X Games ticket. Morrison is ranked eighth on the AFP world tour list. The North Face event will be aired on CBC Sports on Thursday, Feb. 7. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Justin Dorey was forced to withdraw from the X Games halfpipe ski competition as he will undergo surgery to repair damaged ligaments in his left shoulder. He will not compete for the rest of the season. The 24-year-old suffers from recurrent shoulder dislocation, which began

last year when he crashed during his final run at X Games. A fall in training last week in Breckenridge, Colo. was the deciding factor for surgery. “When I fell training in Breck I did more damage than the other dislocations and I tore more ligaments, so I need to get it taken care of now,” said a disappointed Dorey. Dorey is expected to make a full recovery following the surgery and could be able to return to halfpipe training in three to four months. n After placing third in her qualifying run, Vernon Ski Club racer Mallory Stewart went all out to claim gold in the 10-11 Girls division at the Canadian Junior Open Free Skiing Championships last weekend at Rossland’s Red Mountain. The event was held on a steep, challenging run, and the toughest line chosen by the skiers is the most important factor in this judged event. Technique, speed, control and energy are the other components evaluated to get a total score. “Mallory chose a very difficult line, and along with her strong technical skiing, put her two points ahead of her competitors in that run, to get first overall,” said coach Tom Stewart. Stewart’s brother, Jackson, a rookie in the 15-18 Boys class, skied a hard line with excellent control to advance to the finals. After another solid technical run, Jackson earned 31st out of 53 competitors. Jacob Tooke, a Silver Star Freestyle Club member, took 16th out of 40 competitors in the 12-14 Boys group.

The Vernon Seed Orchard Ducks celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by stopping host Wenatchee 4-2 in the finals of a Midget Rec Hockey Tournament. Cam Strike, on a sweet point shot and Chris Gallant, with the 2-2 goal, had the early Duck goals. Steven Goebel (2+1) scored twice in the third as the Ducks complete an unbeaten USA weekend. “The boys really stepped it up in the final and played well,” said Vernon head coach Tom Goebel. “Both teams were very well matched.” Clayton Coles went the whole way in net with Trey Spanier in sick bay. The Ducks clipped the Coeur d’Alene Thunder of Idaho 2-1 in the semifinal Sunday, their third game of the day. Goebel and Gallant supplied goals in front of Coles and Spanier. Earlier Sunday, the Ducks doused the Westsound Jr. Warriors 9-0 and tied Wenatchee 2-2. Coles took a turn playing out and supplied 1+3 in the win over the Warriors. Nikolai Negraiff pulled the hat trick, while Daniel Deshane, Strike, Tim Ufimtseff, Aaron Kerryluke, Russel Negraiff and Brett Shaigec earned singles. Goebel had two helpers. Solomon Ivanoff and Brennan Martin, with the equalizer with five minutes to play, scored in the tie. Coles and Spanier shared the netminding. The Ducks hopped on a bus Saturday at 2:30 a.m., caught some zees and then shaded the Spokane Storm 4-3 in a 10 a.m. tilt. Kerryluke, with the last two goals, Gallant and Nikolai Negraiff handled the offence. The Ducks took in the USHL game between the Wenatchee Wild and the Fresno Monsters Saturday night before 3,800 fans at the gorgeous Town Toyota Center, getting treated to a buffet dinner. In North Okanagan Midget Super League play, the Talon Benefits Hawks netted two late goals and gained a 7-7 tie with Salmon Arm Blackburn Excavating Sunday at the Shaw Centre. Sean Connor and Landon Munk scored twice apiece for the 10-2-1 Hawks, while Bryton Stead added 1+3 and other goals came from Luc Mitchell and captain Justin Mitchell.

Over $10,000.00 in Cash & Prizes! came from Marcus Finn, Taylor Hamilton-Gee and Dallas Zupp. Lee Brodoway had five assists. Goaltending duties were handled by Jared Larsen and Corey Lehoux. The Interior Savings Flyers stayed even with the Coyotes by posting a 4-1 win over the Five Star Awards Bulldogs at PV Arena. After a back and forth first period, the 12-1 Flyers took control when Adam Roemer converted with the help of Jake Pelletier and Ryan Lazar. Adam McIvor and Kaylan Lawrence played key roles in Roemer’s next goal. Lawrence played a strong physical game powering the puck into the Bulldogs’ zone and firing home the third goal after some stellar work from Roemer and McIvor. Pelletier rounded out the scoring with an unassisted goal. Joseph Tronson held off a strong attack from the Bulldogs until late in the third when Connor Granger connected. The Scotiabank Lighting (9-3-1) extended their winning streak to five games by crushing the Corbett Office Supply Spartans 8-2 Sunday. Branden Lehoux, Landon Currie and Brett Lambert each bagged a deuce for the Bolts with Lehoux getting his second snipe with one second left in the first period, putting the bankers ahead 3-0. Rowan Wood pounced on a rebound and backhanded a nice shot past Spartan goalie Chris Moore to make it 4-0, but the Spartans (3-9-1) battled back with Alex Laurila and Darius Stone setting up Aaron Botterill who went five-hole. Cam MacKenzie also scored for the Bolts, while Currie had three helpers and Sean Reid two. Jim Brodoway had the other Corbett goal on a rebound after some great puck movement by the brother/sister combination of Nikala and Noah Debalinhard.

Bannister crew falls in semis Morning Star Staff

The Bannister GM Flames bowed 5-0 to the New Westminster Royals in Sunday morning’s semifinal of the Kamloops Winter Pee Wee Rec Classic at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Goalie Reece Hawthorne flashed some sweet glove action to take the Flames’ game MVP. It was 2-0 Royals after two periods with the New West goalies both red-hot. The Flames tied the Abbotsford Hawks 4-4, upended the Kamloops Steelheads 5-2 and doubled the Kamloops Rampage 4-2 to win their pool in the 12-team tourney. Nick Mitchell, with two, game MVP Chase Batchelor and Jacob Brewer scored against the

Hawks, whose netminders stole the show. Mitchell took MVP with 1+2 as the Flames stopped the Steelheads, other goals coming from Batchelor, Jonas Ramsey, Erik Urquhart and Carter Morris. Brewer (MVP) and Mitchell each scored twice against the Rampage with Batchelor earning three helpers. The Sub City Donair Devils went 2-1-1 to finish fifth in the Salmon Arm Silvertips Pee Wee Rec Tournament. Game MVP Teigan Derkach netted the winner as the Devils dusted off Salmon Arm Askew’s Foods 5-4 in playoff action Sunday. Sub City opened by crushing Salmon Arm Salmar Classic Titans 10-2 with Seb Wenger getting 4+2 and MVP Cameron Work bagging a deuce. After losing 6-1 to Langley (Jordan Butler MVP), the Devils recovered for a 5-5 tie with the West Kelowna Warriors. Goalie Dalton Stenberg took MVP, while Wyatt Gatzke and Brayden Beacom each had three points. The Devils received several clutch face-off wins and goals from Finn O’Keefe. The North Okanagan White Knights edged the Vernon Denny’s Ice Rockets 5-4 in a thrilling Atom league play Sunday at Enderby Arena. Buoyed by the return of goalie Teja Sheldrake from injury, the Ice Rockets raised their team play to a new level. The White Knights, however opened with a pair of breakaway goals by Fraser O’Brien. Vernon turned the tide in the second. Blueliner and game MVP Liam Reid airmailed the puck over the crowd to Chris Reinhardt on the left wing. Reinhardt wired a wicked wrister high, glove side,. Minutes later, after a strong backcheck, the trio of Zac Funk, Maddex Minard and Reilly Teager went on the counter attack. Minard cycled the puck to Funk in the right corner. Going strong to the net, Teager took Funk’s pass, got off a shot and banged the rebound home. Late in the frame, Reid took off from his own line, cut in off the left wing and deftly split the dee and buried a rocket . After the White Knights equalized early in the third, Reid made another of his heads-up headman passes to Funk, who dangled through the defence and snapped it upstairs for the go-ahead snipe. The Knights’ Grayson Williamson levelled the score before Ayden Hnatiw roofed the winner.

Skaters sparkle Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Speed Skating Club won its home meet Saturday at Priest Valley Arena. The locals beat clubs from Kelowna and Salmon Arm, led by Mattias Isobe and Luca Ariano who each recorded four personal best times. Harrison Mullin followed up by notching three personal best times. Overall, the Vernon skaters registered 17 personal best times to start the second half of the racing season. The local coaching team of Peter Blokker, Trevor Rasmussen and former Olympian Mike Hall see the potential for skaters to move on to great accomplishments with continued dedication towards improving their technical and tactical racing components. This was Vernon’s first season win after a strong effort in the first half of the year at meets in Kelowna and Port Coquilitlam. The Coyote Cup in Kamloops in February is their next test.

Deer trapped in ice believed to be attracting cougars plaints but it’s not abnormal, he says. After the snowfall, there was a thaw and when it froze again, that formed a crust on top of the snow, hard enough that the big paws of cougars allow them to walk on top of the snow, even if it’s four feet deep.

Cougars will turn their attention to dogs and other pets too, warned Myroniuk, so he recommended that pet-owners keep them inside, especially at night, and that they keep them close when walking with them. If you meet a cougar, he advises you to stand your ground; make eye contact (opposite from the advice if you meet up with a bear); and make yourself look bigger by raising your arms and make lots of noise.

niques. The use of the hackamore, derived from the Spanish jaquima, was widespread in B.C. and spread to the NorthWest. The method of breaking horses with a hackamore can be traced back to the vaqueros of California. The use of a hackamore was considered by most California buckaroos (as the term vaquero was pronounced by the English speaking cattlemen) to produce a soft-mouthed horse, responsive to the reins. Once a horse was trained with a hackamore, it was usually replaced with a bit. This technique was unheard of on the Great Plains, where a bit was the standard piece of equipment in horse breaking. So it would seem that the California methods of horse breaking travelled to the NorthWest via Oregon, Washington State and B.C. In the area of horses and horse equipment, the influence on the cattle culture of Alberta from B.C. and

the Pacific Northwest was pronounced. The large, tough horses of these regions were just what were needed for the improved breeds of cattle that were larger and slower than the Texas longhorns that had come as far as Montana, with few of them making it into the North-West. Along with the horses came certain aspects of the buckaroo horse culture. Certainly the methods of breaking horses seem to have been readily accepted in the North-West and the use of the hackamore was very popular. Other aspects of the horse culture, namely single-cinched saddles and braided rawhide ropes, were less prominent. Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch in Spallumcheen.

a liquid containing nicotine, turning it into a vapor that can be inhaled and creating a vapor cloud that resembles cigarette smoke (Mayo Clinic, 2012). In 2009, Health Canada advised Canadians not to purchase or use electronic smoking products, as these products may pose health risks and have not been fully evaluated for safety, quality and efficacy by Health Canada. Manufacturers claim that electronic cigarettes are a safe alternative to conventional cigarettes. However, the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. has questioned the safety of these products. When the FDA

analyzed samples of two popular brands, they found variable amounts of nicotine and traces of toxic chemicals, including known cancer-causing substances (carcinogens). This prompted the FDA to issue a warning about potential health risks associated with electronic cigarettes. Until more is known about the potential risks, the safe play is to say no to electronic cigarettes. If you’re looking for help to stop smoking, please talk to a health professional about smoking cessation programs which are safe and effective.

Edmonton’s Kath MacLean works on her latest projects as the latest writer-in-residence at Mackie Lake House Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Kath MacLean is in her element. Surrounded by walls teeming with art, antiques everywhere you look, and a piano just waiting to have fingers laid across its worn keyboard, she sits down with a cup of coffee and drinks in the atmosphere. The setting couldn’t be more perfect, as MacLean settles into the century-old Mackie Lake House as Okanagan College’s and Kalamalka Press’ 2013 writer-in-residence. You see, MacLean loves — make that lives and breathes — history. A multi-media artist, who writes poetry, creative nonfiction, fiction, reviews and performance poetry and drama, and has taught writing at both Grant McEwen University and the University of Alberta, MacLean has come to Coldstream from Edmonton to work on her latest projects, which are coincidently set around the same time as when the Mackie house was built in 1910. “I write mostly about historical and spiritual stuff so when I was contacted to do the residency here, it just seemed right,” she said, also crediting former Okanagan College writing professor and regional dean John Lent for playing a part in bringing her here. MacLean met Lent at a poetry festival in Edmonton years before, but her connection to Kalamalka Press (the publishing house at Okanagan College, which Lent co-founded) goes back even further. Her first book of poetry, Cappuccino on Bloor (named in homage to her Toronto roots), was nominated by Kal Press for its First Writers Award. (She ultimately had to turn down the award as days before she had accepted another one, and says she could only have her manuscript published by one of them.) MacLean has gone on to receive many more awards, more recently the Anne Green Award for her excellence and innovation in film, poetry and performance. But it’s her latest projects that have brought her to the Mackie Lake House, and they are steeped in history, circa the First World War. The first is a historical novel set around the time of the Spanish flu epidemic and the other is a book of poetry, situated just after the Great War, which recollects modernist poet and writer H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), who was a patient of Sigmund Freud’s. “It’s about her early memories of working with Freud and explores the dreams and spiritual early days of psychoanalysis,” said MacLean. However, it’s the former project that MacLean has devoted her life to, so to speak, for the past four years. “It was around the time of the H1N1 flu in 2009. It is a first cousin of the Spanish flu. I had (H1N1) and it got me thinking about what it was like for people who had the flu back then,” she said.

NOBODY BEATS AARON’S PRICES …

Kristin Froneman/morning star

Kath MacLean, the 2013 writer-in-residence at the Mackie Lake House, reads a book on Freud in the upstairs sitting room at the historic Coldstream home. MacLean’s interest was further intrigued while perusing through a photo book of pre-First World War Edmonton. “One of the photos had three women leaning out of a window with masks on,” she said, adding many who had the Spanish flu died at the time. In fact, it took more Canadians than the war did soldiers. “It killed so many people. Cities were looking at each other for guidance. This was before there were boards of health. If you got sick you turned to your family and neighbours to look after the farms... The soldiers weren’t home until 1919, and by then, the flu had already arrived. Many accused them of bringing the flu. There was a lot of finger pointing at the time.” Dividing her book into the different regions of Canada affected, MacLean’s research led to archives, and even a journey east to a small Ontario town after she discovered an intriguing mystery about a missing school teacher, named Felicia Graham, who went missing in Edmonton in 1918. “They thought she had fallen ill from the flu. She just disappeared... Her body was eventually found in the river in Hawkins Ferry east of Edmonton,” said MacLean. “She supposedly haunts Westmount (a junior secondary school in Edmonton), although she doesn’t have a reason to haunt the building as she only worked there for a month-and-a-half.” Upon further research, MacLean also discovered that Graham was one of few women to graduate with a master’s degree from the University of Toronto circa 1909, and that her family hailed from a wealthy farming community in Lindsay,

NOBODY!

Ont., located approx. an hour north of Toronto. It was there where MacLean tried to uncover further information about Graham. “I talked to her family in Lindsay, including a cousin, and none of them knew anything about her. It was like that side of the family had never existed. I think there had been a family squabble in the ‘60s that led to them drifting apart. “It was difficult in the end; strange things ended up happening and files went missing. There were so many inconsistencies in the police reports and lack of family history. Even her thesis went missing from UofT. They said they had everyone else’s thesis, but her’s was not there. All they had was an article about her missing.” In the end, MacLean says she has culminated information to write what will be a non-fiction-based novel, but will have to include some theories on what happened to many people who suffered and died of the flu during the time. “There’s a number of reasons why people haven’t written about the flu,” she said. “People didn’t want to talk about it. They knew roughly when the flu was going to arrive in Edmonton. They could see it coming on the train... There was a lot of depression, with war rationing and unrest about worker’s rights. It was tough times.” Those wanting to hear more about MacLean’s projects have the opportunity to meet her at a public reception at the Mackie Lake House, 7804 Kidston Rd., on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. McLean will also read from one of her books at the event.

Interior DJs show their might Morning Star Staff

Step into any night club, or rave, in Penticton, Kelowna, Kamloops, Nelson, or Vernon, and likely there is a guy, or girl, standing behind a huge deck of turnatables, knobs and whistles making a huge sound. It’s a familiar sight that’s getting notice beyond these borders as area electronic music producers become known for their distinctive sounds. Three of the B.C. Interior’s hottest DJs, Kona, Arise and Mishadow, will tear up the dance floor with all sorts of dancy hard-hitting tunes for Free Bass, Saturday at Vernon’s 2929 Nite Club. The show is a customer appreciation party held by Vernon’s 13th Floor Entertainment, who have been bringing a wide swath of the area’s top electronic and hip hop musicians to town for the past year. “We realize that most people don’t have a whole lot of extra money in January but people still want to come out and dance, so thanks to our sponsors, Bean to Cup and Dunas, we are able to make this show happen without having to charge anyone,” said 13th Floor’s Josh Brazier. “The show is open to anyone (19 and over), but we really hope to see a lot of familiar faces.” With a background in speed garage and electro, and everything else with bass,

Kelowna-Penticton DJ Arise is one of the spinmeisters working the Free Bass show at 2929 Nite Club on Saturday. Kamloops’ DJ Kona has been rocking shows for 12 years now and has more recently turned to producing. He is now one half of Iheart recordings, a label known for offering up nothing but the very best that electronic music has to offer. Kona has rocked recent shows alongside local heroes such as Jeff York, Wrecklace, Mayo, Basslinger, and the whole IHeart

Covering the arts scene in Vernon

Recordings lineup. With 14 years behind the Technic 1200s, and a familiar face in clubs around B.C., Penticton’s Arise has his roots grounded in rock, punk, hip hop, house, electro, booty breaks, bassline and drum and bass. He has played shows in Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and has recently found his own fresh style and is always digging for unheard drum ‘n bass and wobble sounds to give people an unforgettable experience. Heralding from the depths of the Kootenays, Mishadow is known for his blend of funky, bubbling basslines that dip in and out of the downright filthy, driven by a coherent tech-house backbone that gets the crowd moving. Now a fixture and respected DJ in the Kelowna electronic scene, Mishadow is resident DJ for the Okanagan’s production crew Footwerk, and has opened for or headlined with Nom De Strip, Malente, and Sticky Budz. He also co-hosts an online radio station and regularly headlines underground raves throughout the Okanagan. Free tickets for Saturday’s Free Bass party at 2929 are available at the Downtown Internet Lounge, located on 30th Avenue next to the Vernon Towne Theatre.

From Vernon to London and back

thomas thomas: Broke The Spell

he former Vernon rock/ reggae/calypsopop ambassador with Samsara, singer/songwriter Thomas Thomas now resides in London, England. He occasionally ventures back to B.C. for musical business and his last visit here completed a recording he began in England, his first solo record, Broke the Spell. As Thomas’ easy worldview has seen movement so has his music made a shift to evocative song writing. His mellow voice is detailed in this consistent and clean recording that’s notable for its depth and tasteful arrangement. Those qualities are partnered with Thomas’ music, first heard here on the song, Can’t Get You. The ringing atmospheric music moves through a dreamy track with bittersweet lyrics: (“When we were children the games we played taught us to hide/In a world unforgiving our hopes, our dreams died.”)

Street SoundS

Dean Gordon-Smith

His music is direct and personal but doesn’t cross any lines by being overly revealing — it’s a reflective zone. This honesty and simplicity are hallmarks of Thomas’ songcraft. Thomas’ early influences shine through on About You, a deep song that recalls John

Lennon’s post Plastic Ono Band solo material. The stark vocal and whisper of reverb rest on rich acoustics: slide and guitar and a string section that’s direct and lush. The song is emotionally bare and brings on the nostalgic mood of a bygone love story. This music marks a stripped down show telling of Thomas’ material. The songs are spacious, honest and simple with Thomas’ vocal and lyrics bringing an understated conviction to them. Kindred spirits were found in the production team. Guitarist Andy Strange produced the first three

presents… Morgan

songs and bassist Jacob Chatterton took care of the rest, along with Thomas. These achieve a luminous vibe early on and later mark the shift to thick beats and funky flourishes. The kept-in-check musical taste of the early acoustic tracks is a characteristic of the whole recording. The confidence and straight emotional reach of Thomas’ song craft has also received a shot in the arm from his dialogue and collaboration with former Yes vocalist Jon Anderson. The two are changing ideas and arrangements for future use – look out!

Childs Quartet

A bright light on Broke the Spell is This Time – a thoughtful theme that’s reminiscent of some of Paul Simon’s mid-period work: expansive songwriting that uplifts. The clarity and positive world view that marks the songwriting on the album is reinforced by the imagery in Over and For You — tracks that conjure a rainforest mirage and a gentle Caribbean spirit. Afterword, his mellow voice is brought into a strong niche on a hidden track that has the vibe of a peaceful, late afternoon lullaby, reflecting on songs full of musical journeys.

This is 40

tarring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, This is 40 is a loose sequel to Knocked Up. Pete and Debbie, a married couple who are both turning Taylor & Howe 40, come to terms with where they are in their lives. Debbie is in denial, she keeps rolling her odometer back, insisting she’s only 38, but then again she lies about her smoking, the success of her business and wants things the way they should be, rather than the way they are. Pete is fine with 40, but is happy in an even more tangled web of deception than his wife: his business is faltering to the point of collapse, he’s been secretly supporting his father for years and his love life is clandestinely chemically enhanced. Their children, Sadie (Maude Apatow) and Charlotte (Iris Apatow), are pretty ordinary sisters and probably the only sane people in the family. We say, “It’s a typical sitcom about a failure to communicate.” TAYLOR: This movie

Reel Reviews

Universal PictUre

The family, played by Iris and Maude Apatow, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, star in the sort-of sequel to Knocked Up in This is 40. should be called “This is 40 if you’re neurotic and furtive.” Although that’s the goal of Judd Apatow movies it seems, to project an R rated version of Three’s Company onto the big screen. This isn’t a bad film, don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of uncomfortable laughs in This is 40, just none sounded by myself. I don’t think I heard you laugh either, Mr. Howe. HOWE: I thought This is 40 was pretty good. I got a couple of laughs out of it, but for the life of me I can’t remember one of them. It wasn’t like there were lots of them, it’s just that each of them rolled into the next and it didn’t really quench the

thirst for a really good laugh. TAYLOR: Agreed, I’ve seen funnier films that rely on base humour, but I was glad that it didn’t go too far into offensive territory. There’s a fine line between a character acting funny and acting crazy, the latter often becomes stupid or sad. HOWE: There are a few moments dotted throughout that parents can relate to, especially if you have one becoming a teenager and one still under 10. I had that a good few years ago and could relate to this. I think Apatow got the balance just right, and using his own children works well because the chemistry between the two of

them doesn’t feel fake. TAYLOR: True, when they were being mean to each other, it made sense, they’re kids. Everyone else in this film should know better. HOWE: I disagree, the highlight of the movie was the scene with Melissa McCarthy in the principal’s office. If you wait for the credits to roll you will see the uncut version and she just rambles on. That was the funniest part of the movie. — Howe gives This is 40 2.5 false teeth out of 5. — Taylor gives it 2 afternoon naps out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Eyes open to latest beauty trend North Okanagan women can skip the mascara and go for eyelash extensions Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

An eye-catching beauty trend that has starred on runways and was previously only available in such larger centres as Vancouver and Toronto is now turning heads in Vernon. Eyelash extensions have become the latest and greatest rage among all likes of North Okanagan women, as a number of beauty salons and estheticians are now trained to offer them. “It has been around for a few years,” explains Lori Anderson, clinical esthetician and owner of North Okanagan Skin and Laser. “It’s just starting to hit the small towns.” Lash extensions in fact date back to 1916, when human hair was used to enhance an actress’ eyes for film. The glue-on technique of false lashes is also nothing new, but lash extensions are a much-improved technique that everyone is sporting, from stars to your average housewife and businesswoman.

“We have a whole ward of nurses who come in, all because one nurse came in,” said Anderson. Locally, more and more women are picking up the trend, as evident in bookings at Anderson’s clinic. “Initially I just went for the training,” said Anderson, who started doing one or two sets of the silk lashes a week and is now booked with upwards of five per day. “Now all three of the girls are trained.” Like a hair extension, the lashes (which are bonded to the existing lash, one by one) add all the volume and colour of mascara, without ever having to apply the cosmetic. Women can go for a splash or watch that tear-jerking movie without having to worry about mascara streaks running down their face. On top of cutting down on her morning routine, the idea of

never having to wear mascara is something one client instantly fell in love with. “I have really sensitive eyes, watery eyes, so it runs,” said one client (who asked not to be named so she could keep her secret to stunning eyes). “I don’t find that they feel any different,” she said, while getting her lashes re-filled, which is recommended every three weeks. “They don’t feel heavy or anything.” Along with making eyes look bigger and brighter (which in turn prompts a number of compliments), the soft silk lashes also give great butterfly kisses. “My daughter loves that,” said the client. According to Anderson, extensions are also a trend many older women are enjoying, as age starts to wear down their once-luscious lashes. “As you age your lashes get very thin and short,” said Anderson. And whether its lash extensions, laser hair removal or any other cosmetic procedure, Anderson says its not necessarily about external beauty, but feeling beautiful from the inside out. “They come to us because they want to look better, which helps them feel better.”

Important reasons to be vain about veins

ver felt embarrassed to wear shorts because of unsightly purple or blue varicose leg veins? It’s not unusual for me to see a patient, usually (actually almost always) a woman, complaining of unsightly or uncomfortable leg veins expressing guilt dr. April Sanders for coming to the doctor with their problem. Why is this? Perhaps it’s the perception

Second opinion

that problem veins are trivial and therefore not worthy of a “real” medical visit, or maybe it’s the fact vein problems are so commonplace that they are deemed, by some, to be a normal variant of the human condition. Sometimes it’s a simple failure to understand the significance of abnormal veins and how they can negatively impact health. Some patients are under the impression their problem can’t be fixed. Whatever the reason, it seems the poor little vein, and those who carry an abundance of them on their legs, don’t get the respect they deserve. The term varicose means abnormally

swollen or dilated and is used almost exclusively to describe veins. Varicose veins usually occur because one or more of the valves inside the vein, whose job it is to direct blood toward the heart, have failed. In the case of leg veins, a “blown valve” usually results in the abnormal flow of venous blood back towards the feet. As a result, the veins swell, become tortuous and are often uncomfortable. If small veins are involved they are termed spider veins, if larger veins are involved, they achieve the designation varicose veins. The cut-off between a spider vein and a varicose vein is arbitrary however, and both

can cause problems with the legs, not to mention the embarrassing appearance. Apart from the cosmetic appearance, varicose veins (and sometimes even spider veins) can cause swelling, aching, burning, itching, throbbing and restless legs. Varicose and spider veins can also lead to leg ulceration. Fully 80 per cent of all leg ulcers are caused by vein disease. In most cases, it is the larger varicose veins that result in severe symptoms and ulceration, but smaller varicose veins and spider veins can cause their fair share of grief as well.

Ecclesiastes 12:5 (the Preacher: kohaleth Solomon) “the almond tree shall blossom.” In the late spring the almond tree is white with blossom, a signal that summer is nigh; a fitting figure of the hoary, whiteheaded old man, whose life is almost over, and death at hand. “The grasshopper shall be a burden.” The grasshopper usually propels itself with great leaps, illustrative of the exuberance of youth, but when moving slowly it assumes a painful, dragging, crawling gait - characteristic of declining life.

Out of love with the in-laws

ear Annie: I have been married to “Barry” for 20 years. Even though we live several hours from his mother, she controls many of our family’s decisions. My mother-in-law is our only living parent. I have tried many times to please her, without success. I often have the family over to our home and invite them to our summer cottage. I plan outings and shop for gifts. She doesn’t drive, so I take her to the grocery and Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar wherever else she needs to go. But in her eyes, I cannot do anything right. Barry jumps when she asks him to do anything. If she needs a light bulb changed, he immediately goes to fix it. She has always been his “boss” in terms of what he does, how he does it and when he does it. And she is his confidante when it comes to our marriage, which does not help. For the past several years, Barry has been very uninterested in me. He’s angry all the time and blames me for everything that goes wrong in his life. I’ve been to counseling, but Barry (and his mother) feels this is nonsense and says there must be something wrong with me.

I have been an outsider in Barry’s family for my entire marriage and see no hope of changing it. Where do I go from here? Is divorce my only answer? I truly love my husband, but I don’t like our life with his family, and he is unwilling to make changes. — Sad in the North Dear Sad: Your mother-in-law sounds difficult, but your real problem is Barry. If he would back you up, it would give you an opportunity to change the dynamics within the relationship. But his family doesn’t show you respect because Barry doesn’t demand it, and worse, he makes them believe they can treat you poorly. And while his family deserves his consideration, as well, it shouldn’t come at your expense. Tell Barry that your marriage is in serious trouble, not only because of the way his family treats you, but because he is angry and uninterested. If he refuses to go for counseling, go back on your own and figure out what’s best for you. Dear Annie: A year ago, I approached my aunt about something she did that hurt my family. I tried to do so with gentleness and respect. However, not only did she not apologize, but she also completely rationalized her behavior. Now she acts as if I did something wrong, and she is ignoring me. We used to be quite close and corresponded fre-

quently. I still write to her, but get no response. She sends texts to everyone but me. She even writes my wife and kids, but it’s as if I no longer exist. How should I deal with this situation? — The Silent Treatment Dear Silent: You caught your aunt behaving poorly. Instead of being mature about it, she became defensive. Now she is punishing you as a way to avoid taking responsibility for her actions. If you are willing to forgo the apology, you can simply tell her you miss her and the closeness you once had. It’s also possible that in time she will begin including you again, as long as you don’t mention the previous unpleasantness. We hope she will grow up soon. Dear Annie: “Worried Papa” said his teenage daughter wants to get her navel pierced. I got mine pierced in my 20s because everyone else was doing it, so of course I thought it was cool, too. In my 30s, I got pregnant and removed the ring. Now I have an ugly hole that was stretched during two pregnancies. Tattoos also stretch with aging and pregnancy, and some of them look like gross ink blobs as your skin loses its elasticity. — Should Have Thought Twice Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737-3rd St., Hermosa Beach, Calif., 90254.

Treatments available for abnormal veins Continued from B7

On more than one occasion, I have seen patients who have had repeated and frightening bleeding occur from small veins around the ankle after they are bumped or nicked. Varicose veins also predispose to phlebitis (where a super-

ficial vein becomes inflamed, red and painful) and, in some cases, even blood clots. A physician experienced in vein diagnosis and treatment should assess vein disease. The assessment should include a detailed history of the condition and examination that

includes an ultrasound assessment of the involved veins. Only then can the root cause of the problem be determined and an appropriate treatment plan developed. When it comes to treating abnormal veins there are usually four treatment options: no treatment (OK, that’s not really a treatment, but sometimes it is the best route to take), injection sclerotherapy

(this involves injecting veins with a medication and is appropriate for smaller veins), endovenous laser ablation (this involves inserting a catheter and laser fiber inside a vein) and surgery. Often, a combination of these treatments will give the best results. In most cases a compression stocking or sock will provide significant benefits as well. Having abnormal

leg veins properly diagnosed and treated is important to maintaining the health of your legs and circulation. Even if you suffer with “just” spider veins, it is reasonable to have them properly assessed and treated. There is no reason to feel guilty or reluctant to do so. — Dr. April Sanders is a physician, with Sanders Medical Inc. Vein and Laser in Vernon, B.C.

Walter used to eat frozen dinners alone … Now he enjoys a varied menu and great company. Mealtime was mostly a chore for Walter. Living alone, he would simply choose what was easiest to prepare and eat in front of the TV. Nutrition was rarely a consideration. At Chartwell, the chef changes the menu daily, so Walter not only gets to choose from a variety of balanced meals, but he enjoys them with a side dish of laughter and conversation.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

IS IT THE DEAL FOR HIGH OR FOR LOW? In “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” Commander Deanna Troi said, “Higher emotions are what separate us from the lower orders of life. Higher emotions ... and table manners.” This week we are looking at defenders leading high or low cards from various holdings. The general principle is to lead low from length when you have at least one honor in that suit. With no honor, you lead an unnecessarily high card. But, as I mentioned yesterday, the most common exception occurs when you lead partner’s suit. Then, if you have not supported that suit, giving length information is more important than strength

information. In this example, what should West lead against two spades when he has or has not raised hearts? Should West bid two hearts? It is a borderline decision. The pluses are showing support and some values, and perhaps making North’s rebid more awkward. The minuses are the scant values and the lack of a heart honor; if North becomes the declarer, East might make a losing heart lead. If West has not supported hearts, he should lead the three: low from length. But if he has raised, he should start with the nine: top of nothing. Moving on, how can EastWest defeat two spades? The defenders must take two hearts, two diamonds and

two clubs. And this requires getting the diamond tricks established before South can discard a diamond from the dummy on his heart jack. East should win the first trick and shift to the diamond queen, which is easier to find when West has raised hearts and led the nine to deny an honor.

ARTHRITIS

News Community Support

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:< Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 #1 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.<For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing les s than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC<Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Heartburn Reflux

Andrea Egan, Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation development officer, accepts a $2,184 donation from Knights of Columbus St. James council 4949 Grand Knight Sal D’Agosto (left) and Reverend Dale Normandeau (chaplain who raised more than half of the total) from their recent Grow if for your Brother fundraising campaign towards the local fight against prostate cancer.

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA< Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

Submitted photo

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

Vernon Legion’s second vice president Jenny Negraiff presents $1,000 to Paul Munroe with the Vernon Celtic Society.

Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful #40 non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. < Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL < My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON < I finally found the right approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON < I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN <Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living.

Mary Joan Marx (nee Liddle)

was born on June 29th, 1932 in Sarnia, Ontario, the second daughter born to Ellis Walker Liddle and Kathleen Liddle (nee Dean). She was called Home to be with her Heavenly Father on January 19th, 2013 at the age of 80 years. Joan will be lovingly remembered by her two children, Chris Marx and Theda Cozby; four grandchildren, Heather (Richard), Ryan, Michael and Christopher; five great-grandchildren, Samantha, Sophie, Peter, Max and Gavin; four nephews, Charles, David, John, Richard and their families. She was preceded in death by her husband, Willibald Siegfried Marx and her sister, Lyn Taft. Joan was a very active lady participating in various groups and organizations. Her primary aim in life was to keep her faith and relationship with Jesus Christ the central focus of her life. She had a deep abiding hope in her Heavenly Father which saw her through many trials in her life and she now sees Him face to face and dwells in that Home which He promised to those who love and serve Him. From her earliest years as a child she was involved in the United Church and then later became a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. During these years she was very involved in both churches, being the President of the UCW and an Elder in the United Church and then later the President of the Latter Day Saints Women’s Association in the Okanagan Valley. Joan was a Registered Nurse for 38 years and after her retirement she continued to care for people through her role as both Administrative Assistant and volunteer at the phones with the Vernon Crisis Line. Her passion for helping others was also evident as she volunteered in the Vernon soup kitchen where she deeply loved this act of serving those in need. She will be greatly missed by all who had the joy of knowing her. A Celebration Of Joan’s Life will be held at the Church Of Latter Day Saints, 1506-35th Avenue, on Friday, January 25th, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. Cremation will follow. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Joan to the Upper Room Mission, 3403-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S2 or the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4. Funeral arrangements have been made with BETHEL FUNERAL CHAPEL LTD., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C.

Obituaries There is a new brightest star in the sky at night now,

Patricia Ann Ogilvie Passed away on Jan. 17th at Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 65. You had lived with Multiple Sclerosis for over 46 years but no one ever heard you complain, and you always had a smile for everyone that you met. When your MS went into remission in 1975 you worked as a corrections officer in Fort Smith in the N.W.T. for 10 years until your MS forced you to retire in 1985, and at that time you moved to Parker Cove near Vernon, and that is when we met. For the last eleven years you were cared for by the staff at Polson Extended Care facility in Vernon, and those good folks often told me that your smile always made their work a little easier. Patricia I love you, and will miss you terribly. Also left to mourn your passing is your brother Leroy, your daughter Samantha, granddaughter Regan, my own two daughters Tracy and Donna, and all who knew and loved you. See you later Pat. “Edwardo” Arrangements in the care of Vernon Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Vernon MS Society. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
