Independent Living fears service cuts RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A Vernon agency fears a new government policy will strip the disabled of their independence. Independent Living Vernon has been told that instead of automatically receiving core funding from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, it will compete with other groups for the same pot of cash and there is no guarantee of support. “People need to know the disabled and families will be impacted,” said Laura Hockman, ILV executive director. ILV receives $53,500 annually from Ottawa or 25 per cent of its total budget. Under the new rules, it will face a 35 per cent cut this year, 30 per cent in 2014 and 35 per cent in 2015. Changes to how the non-profit operates have already been made. Part of the office has been rented out to another group and staff hours have gone from 3.5 full-time equivalents to two or 2.5. “We will have to start saying no to people. We won’t have the staff to do it all,” said Hockman as she chokes back tears. “To have to say no to people will kill me because we’ve always said, ‘Yes, yes, yes.” ILV began in 1993 and it provides a community access program, designated parking signs, employment planning, crisis intervention, information and peer support. There is phone and Internet access, and the centre is also the first place a person often turns when they are newly diagnosed with a disability or are having difficulties navigating bureaucracy. “For a lot of people, this is a lifeline until they can access other services,” said Julie Armitage, who works with the developmentally disabled and has directed people to ILV. Volunteers will soon be using the com-

There are about 8,000 contacts with individuals a year and among the regulars is Katie Moore. “It’s a very important service. You get to know what’s out there,” she said. The agency’s other sources of revenue include gaming, fundraising and small contracts, but Ottawa’s funding is critical. “We will, in a very limited way, be able to continue but it will be a struggle without it,” said Hockman. While ILV can apply for funds under the

new rules, Hockman says the guidelines have been expanded to include hospital foundations and private companies. “For a small organization like ours, the capacity to apply is limited,” she said. HRSDC says changes are being introduced but insists national funding remains constant at $11 million. “Key changes include: improving the transparency of funding by moving towards competitive processes, introducing a leveraging requirement from non-federal government sources, and an increased focus on tangible outcomes,” states a department

e-mail. “However, the objectives of the program will remain the same, namely, to address barriers faced by Canadians with disabilities to full inclusion and participation in society. Therefore, organizations with strong and established connections to Canadians with disabilities will be well-positioned when competing for funding in the future.” Colin Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP, doesn’t believe ILV should be concerned. “If they have a solid program, they should have no problem being at the top of the pile,” he said of ILV applying to Ottawa.

Automobile thefts plunge dramatically in Vernon ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The provincial government, RCMP and ICBC are trumpeting Auto Crime Enforcement Month by announcing significant reductions in auto crime in B.C. in 2012. Since 2003, auto theft reported to ICBC has dropped by 73 per cent in B.C. and in 2012, there’s been a seven per cent decrease in auto theft compared to the previous year. However, in the last four months of 2012, there was a slight increase in theft from vehicles in B.C. compared to previous years. In Vernon, there were 70 per cent fewer ICBC-reported

vehicle thefts and 81 per cent fewer break-ins in 2012 compared to 2003. In 2012, there were 18 per cent fewer vehicle thefts and 35 per cent fewer break-ins compared to 2011. Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk feels one of the main contributing factors to the reductions in crime has been the success of the bait car program, where thieves steal specifically modified vehicles and get caught. “Individuals are being caught because of the equipment inside (the bait car),” said Molendyk. “The bait car program has especially helped us apprehend some prolific offenders who steal vehicles or steal from vehicles. It’s one of the significant contributions to the reduction of theft from vehicles

and theft of vehicles.” Vernon-North Okanagan statistics show there were 835 theft from vehicles reported to the local detachments in 2012, up slightly from 809 in 2011. Of those 835 thefts, 529 occurred in the City of Vernon. There were 242 theft of vehicles reported to police in 2012 in the region, which encompasses Lumby through to Falkland and Enderby. That’s down considerably from 328 reports in 2011. Of the 242 vehicles reported to police as stolen (and vehicles can include bicycles and ATVs), 130 were in the City of Vernon.

Emotions abound for new royalty E CARA BRADY

Morning Star Staff

mily Pfannschmidt and Antonya Crosby woke up Thursday morning excited and a little nervous about what the day would hold. They woke up Friday morning as Queen Silver Star and Princess Silver Star. “I had to ask my Dad if it had really happened and see my sash on my closet to believe it had really happened,” said Pfannschmidt, who is Miss Durning Directions. Crosby, Miss White House Mortgages, said, “It was the same for me. I woke up at 6 a.m. and saw the sash that said princess on my dresser and I knew it was true.” They were named royalty for the coming year at the Vernon Winter Carnival Proclamation Thursday evening at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Michaela Hamilton, Miss Silver Star Rotary, was named Miss Congeniality. “We spent yesterday practising what might be the impromptu questions and getting hair and make up done,” said Pfannschmidt, a Vernon Secondary School student. “When they were going to make the announcement, we were all holding hands and waiting. I couldn’t believe it. I give Christianne (Edblad, outgoing Queen Silver Star) the biggest smile and said to myself, ‘This is happening.’” Crosby, who attends W.L. Seaton Secondary, said, “We could hear our hearts beating. When they called my name, I just flooded with tears.” They both found it easy to answer the impromptu question, which concerned what the volunteer work they had done as part of the Queen Silver Star Excellence Program meant to them. “I volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club and I was welcomed with open arms. Everyone was very friendly and I enjoyed it,” said Crosby. Pfannschmidt volunteered at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “What I learned was that Vernon has such a close-knitted sense of community. If you smile at someone in Vernon, it’s almost guaranteed that they will smile back,” she said. After proclamation, the new royalty and all the candidates stayed close together as they were congratulated by family and friends and had pictures taken.

coronation. They were eager to see the gowns, donated by Victoria Lane, which were kept a secret. The coronation ceremony Friday at Polson Park was followed by a dinner and dance with visiting royalty and Carnival dignitaries. “To me, it’s very rewarding to watch all the candidates grow and become the best they can be. I like staying in touch with them in later years and see what they do,” said Coleen Noel, Queen’s Committee member. Crosby said, “We are very grateful for the Queen’s Committee and all the people who helped us in the program. We all learned so much about confidence and punctuality and time management. I’m excited for the year we have ahead.” Pfannschmidt is also looking forward to the year. “This is the transition between girl and woman. I learned so much in confidence and public speaking and friendship,

things I’ll use for the rest of my life,” she said. “I encourage other girls who would like to go through the program to seriously think about applying. It’s a wonderful experience.”

Family Owned & Operated

Foster focus of debate richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Questions continue to revolve around VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster but others are quick to rally around him. The B.C. Conservative Party say it has concerns about a conflict of interest review into Foster leasing space from his executive assistant’s family and renovations that were done to the 31st Avenue office. “The party will consider all possible courses of action to get to the bottom of the renovations and leasing costs of Mr. Foster’s constituency office since his election in 2009,” said John Cummins, Conservative leader. Foster has the full support of the VernonMonashee Liberal Constituency Association. “He has done a good job for the riding and worked hard,” said Greg Beatty, association president. Beatty believes the Conservatives’ concerns are politically motivated. “It’s an unfair attack on his character. In terms of a possible conflict of interest, I don’t see how there is a benefit for him personally.” The Conservatives’ concerns focus on the ownership of the office, why Foster selected that site and how the renovations were paid for. “A letter from B.C.’s conflict of interest commissioner that Eric Foster claims cleared him of violating the Members’ Conflict of Interest Act is so riddled with factual errors,” states a Conservative release.

“The party will consider all courses of action.”

— John Cummins In a June 7, 2012 letter to Foster, conflict of interest commissioner Paul Fraser provided the findings of his investigation. “It is my opinion that neither your private interest nor that of your constituency assistant were furthered by the lease arrangements that you negotiated as part of your official duties or functions as an MLA,” said Fraser. “In my view, a reasonably well-informed person would not properly have the perception that your ability to perform your public duty or function must have been affected by your private interest or that of your constituency assistant.” Foster, who would not comment on the matter, has previously stated he selected the office because it provided easy accessibility and parking, and his decision was not influenced by who owned the building. In terms of the renovations, Foster has stated that matter was handled by the landlord and the Legislature.

The Melon Man is excellent in Armstrong. More than 60 family, friends and supporters crammed into Armstrong council chambers Monday night to see Tom Nordstrom – aka the Melon Man for his penchant for once growing 10 kinds of melons and four kinds of watermelons at his Corkscrew Road home – receive the City of Armstrong’s first Recognition of Excellence Award to be presented during this the city’s Centennial year. “We’re going to focus on the program this year and recognize residents and clubs that have made significant contributions to our community,” said Mayor Chris Pieper before reading off two pages of Nordstrom’s accomplishments, besides growing melons and selling them at the Armstrong Farmers’ Market. Born and raised in Armstrong, Nordstrom left at 16 (he skipped a grade in school) and enrolled in engineering at UBC, focusing on electrical engineering. Nordstrom, 76, won the Governor General’s Gold Medal Award for the student with

the highest marks at graduation, which included 100 per cent in mathematics. At UBC, he met the woman who would become his wife, Karel, and the pair headed to England after Nordstrom was offered a fellowship to study there. Tom and Karel stayed in England for three years, working for General Electric and obtaining his masters degree. Upon returning to Canada, Nordstrom was offered a job by B.C. Hydro head Dr. Gordon Schrum, who had taught Nordstrom at UBC. He worked in various capacities at Hydro, ending his career as the utilitie’s vice-president. Nordstrom retired at 55 and he and Karel returned to Armstrong, where Nordstrom’s parents reside and where his daughter, Julie, had recently moved. That’s when they bought the property on Corkscrew Road and began growing melons and other fruits and vegetables. Nordstrom was also heavily involved with the Lions Clubs. He was a charter member of North Vancouver’s Edgemont Lions Club, and, upon his retirement in Armstrong, began his push to have a Lions Vision Centre created at the Pleasant Valley Health Centre. Nordstrom lobbied with politicians, the heads of Interior Health and went to Lions International to have the local project recognized for funding from the international organization. He twice walked blindfolded to Vernon to bring attention to the importance of sight. Nordstrom was instrumental in the formation of a separate Interior Eye Care society to continue fundraising to make sure state-of-the-art equipment and furnishings were installed. He also helped create a permanent endowment fund with the North Okanagan Foundation for the centre. A treatment room at the Vision Care Centre is named the Tom Nordstrom Room in recognition of his efforts. Nordstrom has won many Lions Club awards and, in 2001, was named Armstrong Spallumcheen Good Citizen of the Year. “I want to thank everyone for this honour, I am amazed,” said Nordstrom, who was accompanied to the ceremony by Karel, Juli, son Cameron and grandson Dawson. “I don’t see why I’m being recognized. I just wanted to give something back to the community.”’

Forever in blue jeans

t’s Jeans Day here at The Morning Star. Every Friday those who choose to do so can go casual for a small donation to a charity. I know lots of businesses do the same thing and it’s a nice way to end the work week, it’s good for staff morale to relax a little and charity benefits as well – I think they call that a win, win, win. Anyway I am indeed wearing jeans as I write this, guilt-free. Well, not totally. You see these jeans have a rip in the back pocket. Not just a little one either. My stupid old-school, leather, jam-packed with loyalty cards “Costanza” wallet has again pushed a hole in the material where there’s a chance it might slip Glenn Mitchell out of my jeans and end up in the slush somewhere just waiting for someone to pick up. So, alas, I’ve been forced to carry my wallet in my coat pocket, or my other back pocket, which feels weird and uncomfortable, for a few weeks now. And that sometimes makes me paranoid, you know when all of a sudden you check for your wallet and it’s not where it usually is so you have a millisecond-long panic attack until you realize..... Now, I know some out there, especially those of the female persuasion, will say there’s a very simple remedy for this problem. Go out and buy some new jeans. Right. Well that would take actually going out and shopping for some, and did I mention that they are perfectly good jeans, other than the aforementioned tear? Yes, I’m cheap, and lazy to boot, and there never seems to be enough time in a day to go do that task. However, I was off last week and somewhere in those seven days I managed to get to a store and, with my wife’s help bought some jeans, on sale even, along with a couple of shirts to boot,

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

which is a major shopping accomplishment for yours truly. But, of course, that’s only the first part of the solution. Now, I have to start wearing them. I have this unwritten rule about new clothes. Well it’s more like a tradition than a rule but they always seem to take up space in my closet for a few weeks, sometimes longer, before I actually get around to taking off the tags and wearing them. I’m not sure why. It might be a guy thing. You know reluctance to change, it’s a minor hassle so why bother when the old stuff is perfectly acceptable, don’t want the attention that sometimes comes with wearing new stuff to work, and there’s a definite lack of planning when it comes to guys getting ready for work. I know Thursday night I had a brief flicker of a thought that I should get the new jeans ready (i.e. take them out of the bag and remove a couple of tags) for the next day but, alas, didn’t quite get around to it and, of course, it didn’t seem like a priority as I rushed to get to work on Friday morning and the old, comfortable jeans were just lying there ready to go so.... I know my wife doesn’t share my reluctance to wear new stuff, why just the other day she bought a scarf in Grand Forks (another story) and wore it to the rink a few minutes later. That just seems wrong somehow. Although it is a scarf, which is borderline clothing material, and it was a cold rink and such, but still the transition from new to not-so new seemed much too quick for my tastes. Maybe that’s it. I just want to hang on to that new feeling for as long as possible. Why rush it? Maybe. Then again the lazy and cheap scenario is likely closer to the truth. Which would also explain why my closet consists of a heapload of clothes that I haven’t worn for years. Ahem. It’s on my to-do list, just ask my wife, actually maybe don’t. I won’t publicly promise to clean out my closet by next Friday, let’s be reasonable here, but I will do my utmost to wear my new duds for this coming week’s jeans day. That gives me just enough time, I hope.

It’s easy for federal officials not to panic as it’s not them facing uncertainty. Independent Living Vernon, which provides a range of services to the disabled, has been told that guaranteed core funding is disappearing and it will have to apply and go up against other groups and businesses across Canada for a dedicated pot of cash. “Organizations with strong and established connections to Canadians with disabilities will be well-positioned when competing for funding in the future,” states an e-mail from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. So ILV may get money, but then again it may not. And even if there is a cheque, it may not be the $53,500 that makes up 25 per cent of its total annual budget. Not willing to take any chances, the agency, which has served the region since 1993, is already cutting back. Staff has lost hours and part of the office has been handed over to another group. That means there are already fewer resources available for the disabled, whether it is employment planning, crisis intervention, helping clients access government tax credits or lending support to someone who is newly disabled. HRSDC states the new funding model is focused on spending transparency, leveraging outside revenue sources and tangible outcomes. Anyone who has ever used ILV or is familiar with the agency would say it’s already doing all of those things. If that’s the case, why is there a need to jump through more bureaucratic hoops? Ottawa insists it is not reducing support for disabled programs, but that appears to be the case by allowing more groups to fight over $11 million. If ILV’s concerns become reality, it is the disabled who will pay the price.

Support the sports complex

am by no means a well-to-do man. I watch my hard-earned dollars as much as the next person but I work hard and enjoy what I have. I would much rather have my tax dollars supporting a new sports venue than paying for a new security prison. I would rather invest in football, rugby, track and field, Special Olympics and a multitude of other programs that will return to us a fine and respectful youth that doesn't require rehabilitation. I know personally, that without sports in my life, it would have taken a much different turn and not one to the betterment of anyone. The development of youth with the values of respect, tradition and teamwork, at what cost, a little extra money. It's pretty cheap insurance as far as I am concerned. I am of the so-called older generation and I have the privilege of having all of my children and grandchildren here with me. You don't have to have a child or grandchild playing on the field, running on the track or participating in other field events to participate. Get out, enjoy the fresh air, cheer on a team or an individual compet-

paRks pRocess The Foothills Community Association endorses the view supporting parks in natural areas in the context of the updating of the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee priority list. The FCA has lobbied elected officials in both Vernon and at GVAC for a natural park in the treed area at the top of the Foothills bluff, which provides a magnificent view of the North Okanagan. We believe this park would serve all of Greater Vernon, including in particular the nearby BX-Swan Lake, BX-Silver Star and Foothills. Connecting trails from it to the Grey Canal and Cools Pond, as well as in other directions, could serve as an alternate route to Silver Star Road for access to the Anderson Way shopping area. Our initiative has been endorsed by a number of organizations in Greater Vernon, including the

ing at a certain sport. In this way, you show support for our athletes, young and old alike. You are also showing your support for our community and our province and our country, and best of all, for our future citizens. There are millions of sports fans that have never even played for their chosen sport but they love it just as much and sometimes even more.

Vernon Outdoors Club, the North Okanagan Naturalists' Club, the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, the Keddleston Community Association and the Ribbons of Green Trails Society. We appreciate that creation of such a park is something of a longterm objective, since the land in question, is at present, in private hands. But we would hope that near-term designation of that land as a notional park would serve to start the process needed to make it happen in the future. We look forward to the results of the GVAC parks prioritization and trust that our initiative will have support.

Ask a Saskatchewan Roughrider fan. They bleed green. Do yourself a favour, take a walk on the track because that's what it's there for, for everyone. Rekindle a memory of being a kid again.

walks clear (The Morning Star, Jan. 20), the snowy, icy roads, walkways and paths are treacherous. Unfortunately, people fall and fracture (break bones) almost daily. When this occurs, the immediate medical priorities are relieving pain, ordering X-rays to confirm and locate the break, applying casts or splints and admitting to hospital for surgery if necessary. But with our overburdened health care system, an underlying cause of the fracture may be missed or not followed up. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become thin and brittle and can break with very little force. Often called the silent thief, there may be no sign of bone loss until a fracture occurs. Osteoporosis Canada estimates that more than 80 per cent of the fractures in men and women over age 50 are due to osteoporosis. These are alarming statis-

They weren't always fun but they helped to mold you into who you have become today because you participated and competed. Life after all is one big competition. We know it, we live it and work and strive hard at it every day. Let's set our youth up with as many opportunities to succeed as possible. There are a tremendous amount of Canadian athletic scholarships available to further education for our kids. Let's go for as many as we can get but we can only do this with a great base, which means a great new venue. A small tax investment over a long time in a great sports venue is a great long-term investment in our youth, our community, ourselves and all of our futures. You can't put a price tag on discipline, respect, healthy minds and healthy bodies but if you could, a small tax increase is awfully minimal. With deepest respect and gratitude to sports for my life.

tics, especially for an area like the Okanagan with its aging population. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, one osteoporotic fracture is likely to lead to another. At the first break, we need to ask the following questions: How old are you? Which bone is involved? How did the fracture happen? In particular, a broken wrist, shoulder or upper arm, hip, pelvis, rib, or spinal vertebra – especially if resulting from a simple fall or minor trauma – needs follow-up and assessment for osteoporosis. Please consult your health caregiver. Further information for health care professionals and the general public may be viewed on the Osteoporosis Canada website at www.osteoporosis.ca. Together, we can beat the break. pat Hodgins, RN, BN, formerly Nurse clinician, osteoporosis centre, calgary

KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

When Deb Butler first moved to Oyama nearly 20 years ago there was a movement underway to close down schools in Lake Country due to declining enrolment. With her children entering the school system, Butler got involved with Parent Advisory Councils at different Lake Country schools as well as at the district level and fought, alongside other parents, trying to keep schools open. “The whole time we were fighting to keep schools open we were saying ‘the kids are coming’,” she recalled. “Now they are coming and we have a different problem.”

The problem now is there are more kids about to enter the school system than there are spaces available, specifically at Davidson Road Elementary. Butler is still involved in the battle for kids and schools in Lake Country but is now in her first term as a Central Okanagan School District board member, elected by the public to represent Lake Country at the board table. The district is predicting there will be at least 30 more kids registering for Davidson Road Elementary this fall than the school can currently handle. “We are going to see a big push of elementary kids and we will need to find space for

them,” said Butler. “We want to work together and hopefully find the best solution that everybody can buy into.” The district had floated the idea of moving Grade 7’s into George Elliot and turning the high school into a Grade 7 to 12 school. That plan was shelved after a big outcry from parent groups. Now the district has decided to form a focus group to study the situation and come up with the best way to handle it by September of 2014. In the meantime the 30 extra kids that enter the school system this fall and next under Davidson Road’s catchment area will be bused to Peter Greer Elementary. Parents, teachers,

school board members and staff will enter into discussions to try to find the best approach to dealing with an influx of kids including moving kids in Grades 6, 7, and 8 into a middle school, revising catchment areas or placing students in portables. “It’s a huge decision for Lake Country,” said Butler. “As a board we support the middle school concept so personally I think if we support that then we need to look to the middle school concept. Any change, even positive change, can fracture a community so it’s important that the community feels a part of the process and the solution. This gives us time to decide what is the best way to go to deal with these extra kids moving into the school system.” Registration for the 2013-14 school session opened on Feb. 4 and parents are expected to line up to make sure their child can go to school at Davidson Road. It’s the first time in the history of elementary schools in Lake Country that was expected to happen. The district has a set of priorities that ranks each school child when it comes to placing them. If two children are ranked in the same category, the deciding factor of who goes where will be who registered first.

Okanagan College has gone back in time to give students a rare, hand’s on experience with words. And the Vernon campus would like to show the community its oneof-a-kind classroom during a special open house Thursday. Students in the college’s print shop, The Bunker, are opening the doors to the public from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Instead of the traditional computer-filled classroom, this class houses an impressive collection of letterpress equipment, including close to 400 cases of metal type from old newspapers around the Okanagan. Using the almost archaic equipment, the students configure individual letters of type into sentences onto the printing press. “It’s like a puzzle,” said Cheyenne Boyko, while trying to place a spacer into her paragraph and then knocking over half the letters, forcing her to re-place them all. Despite how timeconsuming and meticulous the work is (compared to the ease of typing in a sentence on the computer), and the fact that she doesn’t even like puzzles, Boyko happily takes it all in. “I’d like to work in the publishing industry,” said Boyko. “This kind of gives me the fundamental tools I need to get into that.” The Bunker has also sparked Jillian Rowe’s

press work and high-end printing jobs, like wedding invitations. But one of the biggest reasons instructor Jason Dewinetz brought the printing press to life at the college was for the hands-on experience. By working with each individual space and letter, Dewinetz says the students get a stronger sense of white space than computers can permit. Without the ease of spell check, they are also learning proofreading skills, and they become more aware of layout and structure. “It’s also just a really welcome break for these

kids who are on computers constantly,” said Dewinetz, who spent more than three years collecting equipment for the class to use in establishing The Bunker. “Now that it’s finally going we want people to know about it.” High school students and the general public are invited to the open house, where there will be a printing demonstration and opportunity for the public to and try their hand at setting type, then see that type locked up and printed on the presses. “This semester, students of the diploma in

writing and publishing, normally kept busy writing, editing and designing books on the computer, are also setting, proofing and correcting metal type by hand,” said Jane Lister, OC regional dean. “Their work will result in the printing of two new books to be released by Kalamalka Press, and this event will showcase their hard work, allowing a view into how books were printed 500 years ago.” For more information visit www.kalamalkapress.com/about/ print-shop.html

Sewer facility gets $4.1 million

PHOTO SUBMITTED

A funding announcement Friday means that a $7 million upgrading is moving ahead for the District of Lake Country’s wastewater treatment facility.

Morning Star Staff

Major dollars are flowing into Lake Country. Federal and provincial officials announced Friday that $4.1 million will help upgrade the community’s wastewater treatment plant. “Infrastructure investments are an important driver of economic growth and job creation, and I am pleased that the new facility will help protect the environment and the health of Lake Country residents,” said Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP. This project will integrate energy-efficient, green technology and the scientific advancements to increase the plant’s capacity. James Baker These steps will help ensure the plant can meet the current and future needs of the community, and protect the local environment. “This important infrastructure upgrade project will advance public health and environmental protection throughout the region, and maintain the prosperity of the area for residents and visitors,” said Mayor James Baker. The $7 million project also includes $2.6 million from municipal reserves and borrowing. Of the $4.1 million from the federal gas tax fund, $1.1 million is made available from the Regional District of Central Okanagan’s annual gas tax fund allocation and $3 million is from the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ application-based program for capital projects. The project also includes an additional $300,000 from RDCO’s reserves. “This project is an outstanding model for the use of advanced, energy-efficient green technology at the local level,” said Norm Letnick Kelowna-Lake Country MLA. “The B.C. government’s partnership with the federal government and the Union of B.C. Municipalities in the gas tax fund is helping to put these types of key infrastructures in place to create healthier, more sustainable communities for British Columbians and their families.”

Forestry focus of NDP critic

Top TalenT ns... Worry Taking tfheHome Renovatio Out o

We can help you get started or manage the entire project!

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The NDP insists it wants to work with forestry companies if the party forms government in May. That was the message from Norm Macdonald, forestry critic, has he met with mill operators and other stakeholders in Vernon Wednesday. “We need to be clear to people who traditionally support us what the reality is and we have to be clear to licensees what we intend to do,” he said. “The commitments we make are real and doable. We Macdonald want to be clear that they will be part of the process.” For Macdonald, the most pressing issue is to look after the timber resource because of its social and economic importance to the province. “We have heard the government has things they are obligated to do with the land but they are not doing them,” he said. Specifically, he says there needs to be an expanded focus on management. “We need to replant in areas where the government has responsibility,” said Macdonald. “One of the basic things you can do is replant.” Macdonald is also concerned there is a lack of information about the timber inventory. “In 73 per cent of the province, there’s data that’s 30 years old. We need to make informed decisions with accurate information,” he said, adding that the $15 million spent on government ads would bolster data inventory. “It’s in the public interest to look after our most valuable asset.” Macdonald also wants the forestry research branch restored. “With climate change, we need to know what’s going on in our forests,” he said, adding that research can also diversify the industry.

The story of the B.C. Dragoons is one that spans over 100 years beginning in Vernon and it includes international and domestic operations from reconnaissance to assistance during natural disasters. The Kelowna Museum has attempted to document that history through its new book, Always First: A Pictorial History of the B.C. Dragoons. Author Keith Boehmer, who is also a curatorial assistant for the Okanagan Military Museum, was on-hand to sign copies of the new book recently at the museum. According to Boehmer, Always First: A Pictorial History of the B.C. Dragoons started out as a Kelowna Museums project to use an extensive collection of images as a way of leading the reader through the 102 year history of the BC Dragoons — from horse-mounted infantry to service in

The author said he built upon at least 10 different previously written narratives regarding the B.C. Dragoons to compile the new book.

Although other books have attempted to describe the history of the B.C. Dragoons, there were few published illustrations of the regiment. “Sinews of Steel was published in 1965. It’s a very involved text describing day-today operations in the wartime and so on. It’s very limited on photographs.” “This one picks up

that narrative photographically. It was a very rewarding sort of project to be able to study the photographs, listen to people’s stories, read up on the background of events and then try to interpret it, describe it and organize it.

Graeme Corbett/morninG Star

Vernon Viper captain brett Corkey cuts to the net around defenceman brad ryan in b.C. Hockey League action Friday night at Wesbild Centre. Vernon pulled a 4-3 comeback win.

Vipers keep the faith in comeback Graeme Corbett Morning Star

A kid named Israel nearly played the saviour for the Coquitlam Express, but it was the Vernon Vipers who kept the faith Friday night at Wesbild Centre. Trailing by a pair of goals with less than seven minutes in regulation, the Snakes rallied for a 4-3 B.C. Hockey League win in front of a crowd of churchgoers who had descended on Wesbild Centre for Faith Night. Dexter Dancs capped the comeback with the powerplay winner with less than two minutes in regulation, tucking a shot just inside the post on netminder Cole Huggins’ doorstep. It was his sixth goal of the season. Viper veteran Colton Sparrow, also with his sixth, sparked the rally in front of 1,700 fans with a crafty wraparound, and defenceman Marc Hetnik (2nd) snuck in from the point and roofed a feed from first star Andrew Tegeler over Huggins for the equalizer at 16:36. Tegeler finished with three assists. “I saw the goalie was cheating so I just wrapped it around the other side,” said Sparrow of his goal. “We were relentless and good things happen when you do that. We just tired them out as the night wore on. They were shorthanded and we just never took our foot off the pedal.” The 15-21-0-7 Vipers hosted the 20-18-2-4 Salmon Arm

SilverBacks Saturday night at Wesbild. The ‘Backs are nine points ahead of Vernon for the final Interior Division playoff spot. “All divisional games are a must for us,” said Vernon netminder Danny Todosychuk, who recorded 31 saves for his fifth win. With Vernon trailing 1-0 late in the first period, Todosychuk came up with a pair of stellar saves to keep his team alive. He stopped Garrett Forster on a clear breakaway, and then denied another Express player on a point-blank one-timer just before the break. “We’ve been playing well and we’ve just got to start stringing them together. It’s just a matter of time before those breaks starting turning into a string for us,” he said. Coquitlam defenceman Ben Israel, who joined the team from the Chilliwack Chiefs at the carding deadline, was a force for the Express. The Broomfield Hills, Mich. product converted twice on the powerplay, burying a backdoor feed for the opening goal in the first period. He then ripped a top-corner blast past Todosychuk with 10 seconds to play in the second frame. Israel also delivered the hit of the night, sending Dancs flying with an open-ice hit in front of the Viper bench in the second frame. “This game would have been a big two points for us,” said

Israel, noting the Express are three points behind Langley for the final Mainland playoff berth. “We played strong the first two periods and the first half of the third period, but we just didn’t bear down on the battles and didn’t keep it simple when we had the lead. We tried to do too much and they capitalized.” With just three lines and 15 healthy skaters, Coquitlam head coach Jon Calvano praised his team for a gutsy performance, saying: “We had a really good effort, but the last six minutes didn’t work out for us. “When we got up 3-1, I thought maybe we had a chance to pull it out. Maybe fatigue got in the way of that, but I’m disappointed we didn’t come out without the win.” Defenceman Jason Bird impressed in his Viper debut, scoring against his former team with a one-timer blast from the point during a 4-on-3 midway through the second period. Towering Zack Pryzbek (10th), on a harmless looking redirect in front of Todosychuk, supplied the 3-1 goal in the third period. Huggins had 32 stops. SNAKE BITES: Vernon forward Mason Blacklock’s immediate impact on the Vipers hasn’t gone unnoticed as he was name Player of the Month for January. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound White Rock native collected three goals and four assists in five games that month.

Big game in the Big Easy

on’t have anything big planned later today. No problem. Tune into the XLVII (adds up to 47) Super Bowl at 3:30 for what should be an epic game. And even if you don’t know football, you can still be the life of the party. Buy a square or two on the outcome. Spike the punch. Upgrade the brownies. Bet on the game. Sabotage the cable feed. The amazing East Hill man cave I’m heading to has to remain a secret. Huuugge projector screen, similar to the one Saskatchewan Roughrider Hall of Famer Lawrie Skolrood has at his place, two big TV screens, music Kevin Mitchell videos, beer fridge, drum set, comfy stools and a club-style bar (although kegs have been ordered). It’s five-star. I was asked to make a caesar salad. Sure, I’ll Google the ingredients and take care of it. I’m also in charge of the game pools so will be drinking Diet Cokes as I collect toonies for party co-host Scott Simpson. For the record, I’m taking the Niners (guys in the red) to stop the Ravens (dudes in purple) 31-21. So that means Jim Harbaugh and not his brother John, will hoist the Guy Lombardo, er Vince Lombardi Trophy around 7:11 tonight. Esquire Magazine’s Matthew Kitchen wrote a few online paragraphs called ‘The

Idiot’s Guide to Super Bowl 47.’ Writes Kitchen, who is taking Baltimore 27-24: “The Quarterbacks. Colin Kaepernick: multiracial, young, exciting. Joe Flacco: white, dull, effective. “Harbaughs. John Harbaugh: Ravens coach, older, former college defensive back, calm, calculating. Jim Harbaugh: 49ers coach, younger, former NFL QB, might kill his own players. “Jack and Jackie: Will love both their sons the same no matter the outcome. “Linebackers: Ray Lewis: the one dancing and crying. Aldon Smith: the good one. “Kickers: Who cares?” “Halftime Show: Beyoncé, possibly even singing this time.” Adding further colour to the whole Super Bowl circus is 97-year-old Joe Sepidi, whose grandsons are the coaches going head to head this afternoon. Wonder if he’s put any money down? And can he stay awake for the whole game? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is taking restaurant and bar signs, showing his photograph with the words, ‘Do Not Serve This Man,’ in stride. Goodell is of course disliked by some folks in New Orleans after he reprimanded the Saints for their pay-to-injure program from 2009-11. His decision on the bounty system was good for the game. OK, let’s get on with the game already. Niners win 31-21. LaMichael James MVP. For other predictions from all over town, please read on... Devin (Big Country) Rodger:

“Ravens win 30-17. Ravens’ defence rallies behind big-play Ray and send him into the Hall of Fame with a Super Bowl ring.” Ryan Nitchie: “Ravens 23-17. Kaepernick folds his giraffesque legs under pressure of world’s biggest sports spectacle. Flacco cool and calm. Lewis gets 10 tackles to cap a great career.” Trevor Seibel: “49ers 31-21...cause Kaepernick can run like Usain Bolt.” Chris Bader: “A sleepy Ravens locker room overtaken by Ray Lewis huffing Deer Antler spray. Kaepernick uses his leprechaun magic to run past opponents. San Fran wins 28-18.” Brian Martin: “Ravens 30 Niners 17. Two, what I would call, AFC upsets in a row. They are on an offensive roll. (editor’s note: Giants, an NFC team, actually won last year.” Kyle Anderson: “49ers 28-24. They’ve been calm and cool all week; no videotaping coming off the plane, businesslike. Kaepernick provides a solid performance.” Jesse Crowe: “49ers 17-10 because I’m a Raiders’ fan and they share the same bay. Also, Vijay Singh and David Booth are using all Ray Lewis’ Deer Antler Spray.” Chad Pieper: “I am going with the Ravens winning big over the 49ers 31-17. Too much experience on the Ravens. John shows Jim who’s the best Harbaugh.” Ed Huber: “49ers all the way, 34-21. Kaepernick is amazing and is possible the second coming of the best QB ever – Tom Brady.”

The Kelowna product scored twice on one shift. Mallette was happiest to see the Knights’ eighth goal as it was the first of the season for rookie d-man Dryden Profeit. He buried a bar-down blast from the point. “He is so well-liked on our team,” said Mallette. “Our bench erupted when he scored. “To finally see it and get that monkey off his back was huge.

Vernon dominated the Alberta team in front of netminder Conor Webb, with speedy Stephane Richard netting a pair of goals. The Vikes spread the rest of the offence around with singles going to Liam Hennig, Brian Ferguson, Carl Main, Austin Caldwell, Brayden Jones, Logan Imrich, Jason Shaigec and Owen Beliveau. Kyle Sherwood and Cody Bauml chipped in with a pair of assists each. Vernon outlasted Vanderhoof 5-3 in a penalty-filled affair Friday afternoon. Richard pulled the hat trick before being knocked out the game with a knee-on-knee hit. Connor Johnston and Bauml netted the other Vernon goals. Hard-working Ferguson had an assist with Main getting two helpers. Ethan Huizinga was rock solid in net.

A celebration was held at Canterbury Court to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Joy and David Curwen, with friends and relatives in attendance. Joy and David, on leave from the RCAF, were married at All Saints Anglican Church on a bitterly cold minus-25 degrees day in Vernon Jan. 22, 1943. David had a return of malaria, and Joy arrived in the florist van since few cars were running. With no trains operating, the bridesmaid nor the best man could make it. Frozen pipes required a change of venue, and heaters were required during the ceremony. Despite a rocky start, their marriage continues to flourish after 70 years! After the war, they moved to Calgary, where they raised their two daughters, Barbara

Joy and David Curwen: married in Vernon Jan. 22, 1943. and Marsha. David worked for Calgary Power, and Joy later worked for the school board. When it was time for retirement, they longed to return to the area where they had grown

up, so they built their home on Kalamalka Lake, where they lived for almost 30 years. Joy and David continue to enjoy life, and their two children, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Seniors’ Guide is now available in French VICTORIA — Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan has announced that the latest edition of the BC Seniors’ Guide that contains information on services, programs and tips on healthy aging is available in French. “The BC Seniors’ Guide is a handy booklet with lots of resources to help seniors manage their health, home, money, safety and lots more,” said Sultan. “Having the guide in French means even more people around the province can easily access information that is relevant to seniors and their families.”

The 10th edition of the English BC Seniors’ Guide was unveiled in October and time was needed to provide translated versions. The guide was also translated into Chinese and Punjabi. “It is important that the B.C. francophone community has easy access to information on programs and services available to seniors.” The new edition of the guide contains updates to many services and programs, including a section on benefits, and provides information on new seniors’ resources and services. It also provides tips on healthy

aging and encourages seniors to plan ahead for future needs. To receive a free copy, call 1-877-952-3181. The guide is also available online at www.gov.bc.ca/seniorsguide The French-language version of the guide was created with support from the Canada-British Columbia Cooperation Agreement on Official Languages. Under B.C.’s Family Agenda, government supports seniors by encouraging healthy, active aging so they can remain independent and enjoy active social participation.

Online contest brings out the burger lovers ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan loves its burgers. The Morning Star’s latest online contest aims to uncover who has the best beef, chicken, turkey or vegetarian burger in Vernon. And the response has been as a big as a threepatty delicacy. “After just one week, we have more than 4,700 votes, and that, in turn, has brought in more than 9,000 viewers to our website,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen. “It’s great to see all ages Ian Jensen participating in the contest, and the response is great for all.” Ten restaurants are participating in the contest, and the winning restaurant and burger will get a feature story and photo in The Morning Star. One lucky online voter will also receive a burger a month from the winning restaurant. “This is a great opportunity to celebrate Vernon’s culinary delights,” said Jensen. “Let us know who you think is the best.” The contest runs until Feb. 16. You can vote up to five times a day. To enter, go to vernonmorningstar.com and click on contests. You can also link up to the contest through the Morning Star’s Facebook page.

Why I Chose Coldstream Meadows

I love that it is secure and I can go for long walks outside in a safe environment. I like having the option to socialize or not. I like that I am still independent, but when and if the time comes, I can have all the services I need here.

Why did you choose to move into Coldstream Meadows: I chose Coldstream Meadows because I like all of the features in the suite and the location of the property. And I wanted to make the decision while I was still able to. I didn’t want anyone else to make it for me later in life.

Do you like the owners and the staff? Yes! The owners are so friendly and nice. And the staff is always helpful and caring. I know that if they don’t see me for awhile, they will come and make sure that I am okay.

Do you like Coldstream Meadows? I love it here! I like that I don’t have all the maintenance I had when I still lived in my house. It allows us more time to travel. And when we go away, we don’t have to worry about anything.

Lake Country’s Reanne Pearson feels high school is the launch pad for life. The experiences, both good and bad, significantly impact who we are and who we will become. As teenagers begin to develop personal relationships, it is important that they have a clear understanding of what abuse looks like. Pearson, a Grade 12 student at George Elliot Secondary, has created a Healthy Relationship event that runs Thursday and Friday at GESS approved by the Central Okanagan School District, GESS Parent Advisory Council and the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. The event is designed to provide students with a clear understanding of the “signs” of abuse as well as clear direction as to where students can be provided the resources to deal with the situation. At the two-day lunch time event, Pearson, along with representatives from the women’s shelter and faculty of George Elliot, will distribute material and information pertaining to the domestic abuse and contact information for guidance and counselling.

The Coldest Night of the Year hits home for Linda Price. Price is one of the organizers of the Feb. 23 five or 10-kilometre walk that will raise funds for a new sprinkler system at the Upper Room Mission. “There is a term used for people who actually aren’t living outside but staying here and there, and that is called couch surfing, and that is what I was doing,” said Price. “Through most of my adult life, I had struggled with one addiction or another at different times in my life. My last situation was due to really bad choices in my life which led to a roller coaster ride with addictions. At one point I remember telling a friend that, ‘I was in the fight of my life.’” Price eventually overcame her addictions and entered the Upper Room Mission as a volunteer. She was then hired as kitchen supervisor. “The love that is prevalent when you come into the Upper Room Mission helps get me through the days,” she said. “We see people who are lost and hurting every day. We see those who are stuck in addictions or trying to get out of addictions, mental illnesses, those who just can’t make the food stretch until the next pay day or those who just need friendship.” Price’s team for the Coldest Night of the Year will walk to remember

“We see people who are lost and hurting every day.” — Linda Price those who have been lost to the street or addictions. Teams and individuals can register for the walk at coldestnightoftheyear. org. Each adult member of a team is encouraged to raise $150 or there is a $25 registration fee. Registration will start at 4 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Upper Room Mission, and the walk begins at 5 p.m. The half-way mark for the five-kilometre walk will be Vernon Alliance Church on 43rd Avenue. Both the five and 10-kilometre walks will end at the mission, where there will be food and activities. For more information, contact Price or Lisa Froom at 250-549-1231. While funds for the sprinkler system are important, Price hopes the event creates public awareness. “The Upper Room Mission is more than what meets the eye from the street,” she said. “It goes much deeper. People are nourished mind, body and soul. They are loved and cared for the best that we can under the circumstances.”

Unwrap the secret of the Aztecs

he Aztecs used it to enhance strength in their warriors; the Spanish viewed it as a cure-all, and hid it from the rest of Europe for 100 years; the 17th century British physician Dr. William Hughes thought it useful in pregnancy “since it nourishes the embryo and prevents fainting fits”; Thomas Jefferson sang its praises and the Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus named it Theobroma Cacao (food of the gods). Yes, I’m referring of course to chocolate. dr. April sanders In its base form, cacao powder is rather bitter, but once sugar and a few other goodies are added, chocolate becomes less a medicinal elixir and more the delicious and rather addictive confectionary we know it as today. What can we say about its purported medicinal properties? We know that cocoa products are rich in flavonoids — antioxidants — that may be beneficial to overall health. Does that translate into tan-

second opinion

gible benefits? A new paper in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests the answer may be yes! In his paper Chocolate Consumption, Cognitive Function, and Nobel Laureates, Dr. Franz Messerli reports a rather curious correlation between a country’s chocolate consumption and its ability to produce Nobel laureates. The Swiss, as one would expect, lead the pack in both chocolate consumption (a whopping 12 KG per person per year) and, somewhat less predictably, in Nobel laureates (34 per 10 million population). The Danes aren’t far behind. Canada’s chocolate consumption on the other hand, is a mere 4 KG per person per year and we, lamentably, produce a correspondingly low number of Nobel laureates at only six per 10 million population. Messerli’s paper, it should be noted, was delivered somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but there exists an undeniably strong correlation between the two variables. So what is going on here? Does eating generous quantities of chocolate boost brainpower? There has been some suggestion that flavonoids (also found in green tea, red wine and some fruits and vegetables) improve blood flow

and may therefore improve cognitive ability among other health benefits. A 2009 article in the Journal of Nutrition, suggests a strong correlation between brain function, as measured by a battery of cognitive tests, and the intake of flavonoids in the diet. So how does that relate to Nobel laureates? Perhaps smart people just like to eat chocolate, or maybe the Swiss produce Nobel laureates because of some other reason and their enthusiastic chocolate consumption is a coincidence — just something they like to do. The bottom line is chocolate, particularly dark chocolate (without too much added sugar), along with other flavonoids, can be part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation. Be wary of the calories though — one ounce of dark chocolate packs about 150 calories, which, for the average person, would require about 1 ½ miles or 30 minutes of walking to burn off. Also, beware of highly sweetened chocolate or candy bars, as they are more likely to enhance your waistline than your brainpower. Even if eating chocolate doesn’t increase your odds of winning a Nobel Prize, it might just put a smile on your face and that is a prize unto itself.

y Aunt Vicki exuded enthusiasm and love. I was about six when I first met her and she embraced me in one of her robust hugs. Clutching me to her ample bosom and chatting away about what a wonderful little person I was captured by her loving spell. She seemed to be always happy, she laughed lots, sang and hummed continuously, played every instrument she could touch, hugged us lots and she was an amazing reader. She would read me Michele Blais bedtime stories in French, as this was her first language and I was visiting her in Quebec. They didn’t have any English books in their home. I didn’t care: it was the sound of her voice and the animated way she told the story that held my attention or when she spoke in a soft gentle way to lull me to dreamland. Aunt Vicki and my Uncle Omer had a cottage on the St. Lawrence river where my dad and I would visit them. They would read to each other every afternoon sitting in the lawn swing. They took turns reading from their books and the listener would lay with their head in the lap of the reader, knees tucked up, their eyes staring at the clouds, the river or gently closed, listening to the words spoken, enjoying the sun’s warmth. I found this quite fascinating and would sit by the tree beside the lawn swing, listening to the story. It was a lovely way to be together and often they would fall asleep. Napping was encouraged at that peaceful place. When I see a couple reading to each other I think it is very romantic. One lying enjoying the story, listening carefully as their darling reads to them in their familiar comfortable voice. It may

be a novel, favourite poems, a biography and it is a way to share and connect. People used to read to each other more often then we do now. Children delight in story time and I think us taller folks have something to learn from our children. There are some wonderful readers who can change voices and emphasis to capture our attention and help take us to that magic place of story land where our mind creates what the words are describing. Stuart McLean is a wonderful storyteller and many of us make certain our radios are on CBC at noon on Sunday’s to hear more about the adventures of Dave and Morley, or now we can hear more of the favourites during the week. His shows usually sellout and I think it is charming storytelling that fills the seats. I love books to read, and to share them, and I never feel alone when I have a book in hand. Opening the pages and as I read my head fills up with the company of the characters. I missed out on meeting Harrison Ford when I was 25, one of my true loves, because I had to finish a good book. Who knows what might have happened if I had closed the cover, alas we will never know. During the last week that I was able to spend with Mom before she died, I read to her every day from a book that her sister had written many years before called A Lucky Number. It was based on their mom and it is a funny, warm story of simpler times. I would crawl up into her bed beside her, or sit with her in the sun room and we would enjoy the story together. I loved this way of being together and I know she enjoyed it as well. That story from long ago was easier for her to remember than the month before. Sometimes we both fell asleep, or would drift off into conversation about some memory the story reminded us of. This Valentine’s Day as you consider what to give your sweetheart perhaps you will consider a book as your gift, and then read it to them, or ask for them to read it to you. It will be time together with phones, and TV off, perhaps some soft music and in a comfortable setting, sharing something you can love with the one you love.

Sunday, February 3, 2013 - The Morning Star B5

Editor: Kristin FronEman ❘ PhonE: 250-550-7923 ❘ E-mail: entertainment@vernonmorningstar.com

Remembering the ‘Pearl’ of the blues Vernon’s CathyAnn Wells brings her Just About Janis tribute to Carnival blues fest Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

On Jan. 19, one of the greatest blues revivalist singers of her time, Janis Joplin, would have been 70 years old. Gone at the tender age of 27 from a drug overdose, Joplin was and is still known as the queen of rock and psychedelic soul. From Piece of My Heart, with her band Big Brother and the Holding Company, to Cry Baby, Mercedes Benz and Me and Bobby McGee, off her seminal Pearl album, Joplin could belt out a song like no other. Vernon’s Cathy-Ann Wells would be the first to agree on Joplin’s influence, felt today through female singers such as Melissa Etheridge, Joss Stone and Bonnie Raitt to name a few. In fact, Wells channels Joplin through her tribute act, Just About Janis. A cruise-ship performer, who has been sailing the seas the past few years and is about to head out again on the brand new Norwegian

Breakaway from New York City, Wells is now back in town to not only organize this year’s fourth annual Vernon Winter Carnival Blues Festival, taking place Saturday at the Vernon Recreation Centre, she will be donning her best boa and bell bottoms to perform as Joplin at the event. “This is a must-see show for any fans of Janis, psychedelic blues, or the ‘60s,” said Wells, adding the other festival performers should appeal to all music tastes. “The lineup of talent keeps getting better each year and 2013 is no different... With all this great music we will be needing a very large dance floor and one offered up at the Vernon Rec Centre is the largest in town, so be sure to wear your dancing shoes.” Wells realized her talent to impersonate Joplin by accident. It was while pursuing her career as a vocalist that she assembled a troupe of 10 entertainers and produced Dem Crazy Blues, a dinner theatre paying tribute to the female blues artists of the past century. In the show, Wells played Joplin to a T, and since then has been asked time and again to “do Janis.” Wells now thrills crowds with her gut wrenching renditions of Ball and Chain, Summertime, Mercedes Benz, Another Piece of my Heart, Me and Bobby McGee,

among other Joplin favourites. Making the performance even more appealing, Wells has paid attention to every detail from costumes to moves and mannerisms. Even before impersonating Joplin, Wells was no stranger to the stage. Since moving to the Okanagan from Toronto more than two decades ago, she has made a name for herself as both a jazz and blues singer, performing with just about every recognized musician in the valley and beyond. She is best known for her powerhouse vocals in blues band PHAT Betty, and has opened for the likes of ZZ Top, Crash Test Dummies, Trooper, Jeff Healey, Doug and the Slugs and others. Along with Wells’ Just About Janis tribute, other acts taking the stage at the Winter Carnival Blues Festival are Vernon blues guitar aficionado Les Copeland and his band, Vancouver’s Harpdog Brown and Yukon Slim, and Kelowna’s Half a Quorum. Closing the show is The Groove Machine, an eightpiece R&B and funk band. “We have added even more vendors to this year’s mini festival, including food booths and artisans, and we’ve added a toonie table this year where you can purchase pizza, buttered popcorn, water and soft drinks all for only $2 each,” said Wells.

February has every show out of the snow

ith its paltry 28 calendar days, wedged comfortably between January and March (each sporting a lofty 31 days,) February has a cheeky talent for feeling like the longest month of the year.

Centre Point

Brian van Wensem

With cloudy days abounding and any feeling of spring still buried under mounds of snow, February’s arrival does provide assurance that we’ve now definitively arrived on the other side of the coldest part of the season. Sure, Old Man Winter will stick around a while yet, but we’ve got a carnival and all sorts of other events to see us through. Start out by picking up a 53rd annual Vernon Winter Carnival brochure. This

year’s Prehistoric Carnival theme offers all sorts of events throughout town for every age and taste. You can also log on to the Winter Carnival’s website at www.vernonwintercarnival.com for more information. And there is certainly no shortage of events scheduled to make the most of your next 14 squares on the calendar. Full Frontal Comedy is back at The Hub Arts Collective this Wednesday. Featuring a familiar set of games mixed with new faces,

you’ll enjoy unpredictable laughter and improv as audience suggestions take over the evening. On Feb. 9, The Hub is host to the first Fem Fest Cabaret. It’s an open mic style night of music, dance, poetry, comedy and more. Full Frontal and Fem Fest both start up at 8 p.m. on their respective dates and tickets are on sale at the Ticket Seller box office at 549-SHOW (7469).

43 jokers and nothing’s funny

Movie 43

ometimes a film comes along that is so different, so much of an acquired taste that it fails to make an impact the first time around and it takes time for it to grow into something that demands a following. It becomes a cult film, if you will. Movie 43 is not that film. We say, “It’s a valiant attempt and a miserable failure.” TAYLOR: I’m a fan of sketch-based films, be they thread together or not. The Zucker brothers gave us the Kentucky Fried Movie, and Amazon Women on the Moon. Monty Python gave us And Now For Something Completely Different as well as The Meaning of Life, which may be the best sketch comedy movie of all time. From Weird Al to Woody Allen, many have kicked at the can, to varying degrees of success. Usually the films push the envelope of what most consider tasteful, as well as plenty of titillation. HOWE: I know that you have to push the boundaries of movies, but some of the skits in Movie 43 are a little disturbing. The homeschool sketch for example is just wrong on all

levels. I won’t tell you the outcome of it, but if parents acted like that they would be locked up for life. It’s just not funny, but then again about 91 per cent of this movie isn’t funny. TAYLOR: Well, funny is subjective. I find myself, for the second film in a row, thinking this film is aimed at the 14 year old, who can’t go to it. One of the oddest things about Movie 43 is that it has two versions. The film we saw is “the North American” version, but in Europe and elsewhere, the film is lacking Dennis Quaid pitching these ridiculous tales. Instead, there are three teenage boys surfing the web to find the “most banned films,” who apparently stumble upon the tales told. HOWE: This movie should at least have a health warning on it like they do on certain products. I would be mortified if my parents went to watch this,

Don’t play truth or dare with Halle Berry in Movie 43. thinking it would be a great movie seeing the calibre of stars: an Oscar winning actress dipping her breast in guacamole or an Oscar nominated actor having a pair of testicles under his chin. And those are just some of the tamer points. TAYLOR: The 43 refers to the number of recognizable stars in the film. It might be true that this is the largest ensemble cast ever assembled, and to be honest, I can appreciate their bravery, but I have to wonder how many of them left their shoots scratching their heads? They must trust

Learn to paint in oil in Lumby The second session of art classes and workshops offered through the Monashee Arts Council begins this week. The first two courses being offered are in oil painting with Vernon artist James Postill, whose most recent body of work, a series in oils which depicts views seen through rainy windshields, has received a lot of public and critical interest. Students from the last session and artists with some experience using oil paints can enroll in the intermediate program, which will run Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Students new to oils and painting in general can

take the beginners program Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Both take place at the White Valley Community Hall in Lumby.

For more information about the courses, or to register, contact the Monashee Arts Council at 778-473-3029, monasheeartscouncil@gmail. com.

you’re not funny. With Movie 43, Farrelly is like a kid in a candy store who poops in every bin. — Taylor gives Movie 43 1.5 iBabes out of 5. — Howe gives it 1 team pep talk out of 5.

First a commentator for CBC, and in newspapers, then as the rewrite guy for film Photo submitted scripts, in finance and as a Vernon businessman Jeffrey Arnold, who has written for radio, film real estate developer, Arnold and newspaper, can now call himself novelist with his new book, was always writing, always Nobody’s Laughing. offering his own viewpoint “I was trained to produce and always telling a story, though with a humorous bite. three minutes for air for Then three years ago, with tomorrow,” he explained.

In the end, Arnold opted joining the legions of others pursuing the self-publishing to go with Friesen Press, a movement as a hobby or self-publishing outfit based in Victoria, and he will be career. “I had written novels touring the area working on before, though never success- publicity in the months to fully, and (when the economy come.

novel follow the old satirical tradition of naming for traits. The protagonist, an everyman character, is Richard Bonhom. The developers, conjoined twins from Asia who do not always see eye to eye, Zang and Wang Ton, offer commentary on the rise of the Asian economic power, while Bonhom’s problems, his drug-addicted daughter, pending financial and midlife crisis, reflect the firstworld calamities of a generation obsessed with material excess. “Slowly we’re going to survive, but not without looking at ourselves critically,” said Arnold. “As my daughter put it, (the book) made me laugh, it made me cry and it gave me a headache.” One can’t help but notice there are a few likenesses between Bonhom and Arnold. Bonhom too is a developer. He too has seen a fair amount of change in his time and he too has had to learn to adapt on demand. Taking a first crack at writing novels, for example, might qualify. Arnold is a senior partner with Avanti Growth Management, a private equity company focused on providing financial, management and marketing services. Arnold will be signing copies of Nobody’s Laughing at Coles Bookstore in Vernon’s Village Green Centre on Saturday, Feb. 9 from noon to 2 p.m.

Capsule Comments with

SUSAN CARRIE Eating Disorder Awareness Week is held each February to educate the public on the relationship between dieting, body dissatisfaction and eating disorders. The goal is to increase awareness of the factors that cause people, particularly women, to develop eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. It has been over 13 years since a new weight loss drug has come on the market. A new one was just okayed in the U.S. It’s called Belviq and it works on a brain chemical that controls appetite. Weight loss drugs have had a rather shaky history and it’s not sure how good this new one will be. The drug is still under review in Canada. It may be available to pharmacies within the year. Losing weight is big business. However, there is no magic answer to the problem. To make weight loss permanent, one must simply eat fewer calories or burn more calories. In fact, for better results, do both. Research in Israel has produced a strain of marijuana that can ease pain and discomfort symptoms but without the part of the plant that makes people “high”. Perhaps this altered product might make access easier for those with chronic diseases like MS, Parkinson’s and post traumatic stress disorder. There is so much occurring in the world of medications. We do our utmost to keep current on any new advances to enable us to serve you better.

“We’re determined to grab those opportunities and build on them.”

UBC has been recognized as the largest number of Engage grants – a program sponsored by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada – and most of them are held by the Kelowna campus (more than 50 grants since 2009). “If that isn’t a recipe for transformation, in terms of growing a knowledge-driven sustainable economy, I don’t know what is,” said Buszard. “We’re determined to grab those opportunities and build on them. “Engage grants are designed to support collaborations between industry partners – small, medium and large businesses – that want to partner with professors to address particular issues and opportunities they might have.” One Vernon-area organization already benefitting from the UBCO brain trust is the North Okanagan Hospice Society. Ruth Edwards, executive director, said the hospice has been partnering with the school of nursing and health sciences. “The school of nursing is looking at doing nursing differently, right back to the curriculum, through to the practice and logistics,” said Edwards. “They’re talking about advanced care planning and how nurses conduct difficult conversations with clients. All those things are being looked at, with an emphasis on the role of hope and how it factors into end-of-life care. “We’re thrilled UBCO is taking a role in that with us.”

Export experts talk shop Graeme Corbett Business Editor

Vernon imported some top authorities on exporting to discuss the process of reaching foreign markets Thursday. The city hosted a trio of Trade and Investment B.C. representatives, who toured a number of North Okanagan enterprises, and then offered their expertise to participants at a seminar that afternoon at the Tolko Industries building on 28th Street. Provincial representatives lending their export advice included: John McDonald, Kevin Poole managing director, East China (Shanghai); Kyung Suk Kim, managing director, Korea (Seoul); Mindi Hertzog, director, Western U.S. (Palo Alto, Cali.) and Henry Han, director, China (Vancouver). Winney Chow, of Burnaby-based Trade Technologies, also gave a talk on how digital technology is affecting the export business. That was followed by an overview of Trade and Investment B.C., and how its representatives can

provide in-market assistance for B.C. companies. A number of local businesses then arranged private interviews with the reps to pitch their businesses, similar to The Dragon’s Den, and discuss export potential. Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development officer, said the event was all about helping regional businesses tap into prime export markets. With key offices in China, U.S., U.K., Korea and India, he added Trade and Investment B.C. will become a valuable resource for them moving forward. “They’re on the ground and they have a team behind them,” said Poole. “Some of them are extremely connected. We’re trying to connect some of our companies with these guys and see if they can open up some opportunities for them. “You never know where it’s going to go.” The role of the Trade and Investment reps is to not only assist provincial companies looking to access new markets, but to also attract new investment to B.C. To give the representatives an idea of what Vernon-area industry has to offer, they toured a number of businesses, including Kal Tire, Kingfisher Boats and Aspenware.

Going old school

t’s one of the perks of being comfortably retired after years spent building a career and raising a family – you now have the luxury of making personal choices. Like heading back to school to develop new skills, reawaken a lifelong dream, explore new interests or to learn just for the pure joy of it. Every education choice has a cost. That’s why your retirement plan should include the funding that will allow you to return to the classroom. Here are a few Andy Erickson options to get you going back to school: Expand your RRSP-eligible investments – You already know that a balanced, retirement-funding investment strategy should include RRSP-eligible investments, the best tax-deferred, retirementsavings builder for most Canadians. Consider expanding your RRSP investment strategy to provide a money source for the extra costs of your return to education. Borrow from your RRSP – Through the government’s Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP), you can withdraw up to $20,000 from your RRSP eligible investments for qualifying forms of training and education. This is an option you don’t want to rush into because you are required to repay your LLP withdrawals within a 10-year period or they become taxable and you’ll also lose the significant tax-deferred growth those savings could have provided if left inside your RRSP for those 10 years. Repayments cannot be made

Guest Column

after the end of the year in which you turn 71, so if you still have a balance at that time, you’ll have to pay tax on it. Establish a TFSA – Any Canadian over 18 can save up to $5,000 a year in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Contributions are not tax-deductible, but the investment earnings are tax-sheltered and taxes are not applied to withdrawals. Could be a good way to save for your education expenses. Establish your own RESP – People of any age can benefit from the tax-deferred savings offered by a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), although, as an older student, you will not receive the added benefit of the Canadian Education Savings Grant* and other government grants that are available only to younger plan beneficiaries. Still, you may be in a lower tax bracket when you make your withdrawals to go back to school, so the tax deferral may result in you paying less tax than you would if you had invested outside the RESP. If you see a real or virtual classroom in your future and would like to realize your other retirement dreams, talk to your professional advisor about the best path to a financially secure retirement. *The Canada Education Savings Grant and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) are provided by the government of Canada. CLB eligibility depends on family income levels. Some provinces make education savings grants available to their residents. Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

Like no place on earth IRENE BUTLER Special To The Morning Star

SIBERIA - Our boat jostles against strong biting winds. We leave Listvyanka, the small shoreline town wrapped in taiga (boreal forest). A backdrop of mountains appears phantom-like on the horizon. Snuggled in wool blankets, my husband Rick and I look out at the seemingly endless steel blue waters of Lake Baikal. We are awed knowing we are on the oldest and deepest freshwater lake in the world, formed as an ancient rift valley 25 million years ago. Its crescent shape is about the size

of Belgium or Holland but Baikal’s claim to fame is its astounding depth — 1642 metres! It contains 20 per cent of the world’s fresh water. This computes into more volume than the five Great Lakes of North America combined. Our guide Valentine speaks in her native tongue to the four Russian tourists on board, then aptly switches to English for us. “There are 333 rivers and streams flowing into the lake; only one river flows out – the Angara.” Long before scientists discovered Baikal’s unique ecosystem, the indig-

Smoked omul is a popular dish in the Lake Baikal area. enous Buryat peoples attributed its extraordinary characteristics to powerful lake spirits who gathered at Shaman Rock, located in the rapids where the Angara begins its outward flow. “According to legend,” says Valentine, “before a wedding the bride-to-be was taken to Shaman Rock to spend the night. Her survival meant the spirits concurred she would make a good wife and the wedding would go ahead. If she died of exposure or was swept off the gigantic rock by rogue waves, it was best – as she would not have made a good wife anyway.” Lake Baikal has caused much stir in the

scientific realm. The water’s purity is phenomenal due to microorganisms not found elsewhere. The most numerous are crustaceans known as the Baikal Epischura which account for 96 per cent of the filtering of Baikal. Biologists have dubbed the lake and surrounding area the Siberian Galapagos for its 1,700 species of flora and fauna - of which 80 per cent are found nowhere else on the planet. This biodiversity was given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 1996. The only mammal to inhabit the lake is the endemic freshwater earless seal Pusa sibirica, locally called nerpa; estimated to have made Baikal their home for two million years. It remains a mystery how these seals originally got to be here, considering the lake is hundreds of kilometres from any ocean; some surmise a sea-passage once linked the lake with the Arctic Ocean. “When the lake freezes over in winter,” says Valentine, “we see yet another of Baikal’s marvels as the ice forms with crevasses that open and close providing breathing holes for the seals.” Since the nerpa congregate mostly in the lake’s northern basin,

when we are back on dry land it is off to see some in Listvyanka’s Baikal Museum. We delight in their dirigible shape of fur covered blubber, with large bright eyes and whiskered mouth at one end, and flipper tail at the other. The main food source of these wonderful creatures is golomyanka, a native fish with translucent bodies and no scales. By this time we are ravenous and head for the main market. Lining up at a food stall for smoked omul, I purchase a good-sized one. This distant relative of the salmon is yet another species found only in Baikal. Yum. It is so delicious, salted and smoked to perfection, yet moist and tender. We strip the bones clean in no time, and go back for more. It is back by minibus to the nearby city of Irkutsk, from where our prop-plane lifts off Siberian soil at midnight. The “science of it all” fades as my breath catches at the mystical spectacle below. Under a full moon the silvery ripples of Lake Baikal shimmer with an eerie luminosity; a beguiling farewell from the ancient spirits.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

IF ONE IS BAD, COVER THE SECOND President John F. Kennedy said, “When written in Chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” There are bridge deals where declarer is in danger only if two suits are lying unfavorably. But sometimes he has the opportunity to survive anyway. How does that apply in this deal? South is in six spades. West leads the club king. North’s two-no-trump response showed four-plus spades and at least gameforcing high-card values. South’s three-club rebid indicated a singleton or void in that suit. Three diamonds and three hearts were control-

bids (cue-bids) promising first-round controls in those suits. South has possible losers in each major. The heart finesse is apparently unavoidable. The trump suit is a danger only if it is breaking 3-0 -and even then, declarer might avoid a loser. The key point of the deal is that the trump suit isn’t a guess. Declarer should cash dummy’s spade king first. Here, West discards, so South draws trumps with the aid of a finesse and later tries the heart finesse for an overtrick. What happens, though, if East discards under the spade king? Declarer ruffs the club seven in his hand, cashes the spade ace, and turns to diamonds. If West never

ruffs, South discards one heart, then plays a trump to West’s queen. West is caught. He must either lead a heart into declarer’s ace-queen or concede a ruff-and-sluff (when declarer pitches a heart from the board and ruffs in his hand). Either way, South has no heart loser.

Gordon was raised in Roland, Manitoba and served in the RCAF in World War II, where he met his life-long friend Al Bogie. He attended UBC after the War and after receiving his teaching degree, moved to Vernon in 1948. Here, he met the love of his life, Margaret, while teaching at W.L. Seaton School and they married in 1952. Gordon remained a long-time teacher at W.L. Seaton, became a Vice Principal at West Vernon Elementary; and served briefly as a School Board Member and Alderman for the City of Vernon. Gordon was probably best known as a faithful writer of uplifting Letters to the Editor to the Vernon News and later the Morning Star for more than 50 years. He loved baseball, hockey, curling and telling stories and writing those Letters! Gordon was predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Margaret, in October 2012. He will be greatly missed by his four loving children and spouses, Ted (Lllian), Helen Brewis (Kerry), Howie (Lisa) and James and eight grandchildren: Gordon, Maggie and Brian Anderson, Kyle and Jessica Brewis, and Sarah, Ryley and Wesley Anderson. He will also be missed by friends, neighbors and former students, but he will be remembered by all as a warm, caring and compassionate man. Those who wish may send donations in Gordon’s memory to the Heart and Stoke Foundation. A Celebration of Life is planned for Gordon in Vernon, tentatively in late April 2013.
