Outback marina shot down RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

Contentious plans for boat storage on Okanagan Lake have been sunk. The provincial Integrated Land Management Bureau has denied an application from the Outback Resort to build a 72-slip marina in South Bay. “I didn’t think it Kim Nasipayko would go this way so I am excited,” said Kim Nasipayko, with Friends of South Bay. The group, which filed a formal complaint with the government in November, stated that a marina in South Bay would

obstruct public access and potentially impact fish habitat and water quality. Use of South Bay was also opposed because the Outback has approval for a marina in nearby Quarry Bay. “I’m glad the government came to a decision and it realizes this is not a good use of that area,” said Nasipayko. “If we keep this (South Bay) as a swimming area, we can co-exist in this space.” The City of Vernon welcomes the ILMB’s ruling. “They made the appropriate decision given all of the information presented,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky. During the 2004 permit process to develop the resort, the city had stated the marina must be in Quarry Bay. However, the lake is considered Crown

land and the ILMB was the lead agency. AN ILMB spokesperson confirmed the Outback application for South Bay was denied but they were unable to provide details behind the decision. An Outback representative could not be reached for comment, but he has previously stated that lake storms place lives and property at risk in Quarry Bay. “We had a marina there and our experience over four or five years was it’s an unsuitable place for a temporary marina,” said Darrel Zacharias, with the marina facilities committee, during a November interview. “We are not allowed to put a permanent marina there because of government regulations and sensitive fish spawning habitat there.”

Vernon residents will have no more say into how their money is spent in 2013. Council voted Tuesday not to hold any more public input sessions for the proposed budget, which now includes a 3.95 per cent tax increase. “There were three opportunities for the public to provide input and we got more members of the public attending than we normally do,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham. Cunningham isn’t convinced another public session would achieve Bob Spiers anything before council adopts the 2013 financial plan. “Last year, we had an input night where staff put together a lot of information and hardly anyone showed up,” she said. Lone opposition to ending the public process came from Coun. Bob Spiers. “Traditionally we have another meeting after we give three readings (which occurred Tuesday) so people can tell us if we got it right or wrong,” he said. “I always like listening to the public when we are spending their money.” The budget originally called for a 4.7 per cent increase in taxes but that was lowered to 3.9 per cent Tuesday after council trimmed $139,000. “It’s always welcome,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky of lowering the impact on taxpayers. The impact on an average home is an additional $45 in taxes. Much of the $139,000 is coming from reserves and is going towards upgrades to the RCMP detachment and bolstering revenue for the community development operating budget. “It’s well thought out and consistent with our plan to meet infrastructure needs,” said Sawatzky. “Reserves were built up to deal with these projects.” Of the overall tax increase, 1.9 per cent is designated for Vernon’s future infrastructure needs.

Vernon girl gets back to being a kid Thanks to help from Variety, which hosts telethon this weekend RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

An unknown clown, a Vancouver doctor, the Variety Club. Two individuals and an organization Vernon mom Nancy Wasylik is forever grateful to. To understand how this trifecta came to be part of Wasylik’s life, let’s go back five years. Na n c y ’s daughter Callie, now 10, was a kindergarten student at Kidston Elementary who, like her peers, loved to run around outside or climb — Nancy around on the playground equipment. The only thing was, Callie was tired all the time. Nancy thought she was sick, coming off a cold that she couldn’t shake. Her teacher noticed Callie wasn’t her usual energetic self. Then Callie started falling asleep in the classroom. “It was scary at first,” said Callie. “I didn’t know what was happening and I didn’t like falling asleep in class. I was missing out on a lot of stuff.” This continued on and, in the summer months, Callie started getting worse. When Callie got excited from laughing, she’d lose all control of her muscle functions, collapse on the ground laughing, her eyes rolling into the back of her head. Back in school, teachers thought Callie would be having a seizure. Nancy took her daughter to the emergency ward four or five times. All kinds of tests were performed on Callie. Nothing was found to be wrong, yet she continued to be tired and when she was tired, if she started laughing, she’d have these episodes of losing all muscle control. Nancy was on a six-month wait list to see a pediatrician. She knew something was

Nancy told the friend about Callie, and the friend in turn told Nancy to contact Variety to see if they could help. An organization called Hope Air paid for Callie and Nancy to fly to Palo Alto, and Variety took care of all of Nancy’s expenses while Callie was being examined. It’s taken a lot of medication and lots of consultation but Callie, today, is finally on a drug that is helping her deal with her narcolepsy and cataplexy. She is a fully functioning Grade 5 student at Ellison Elementary and doing great. “Before I was on this drug, I felt nothing, had no energy and couldn’t run around and play,” said Callie. Added Nancy: “She’s like any normal 10-year-old. She’s doing well in school and her grades are better.” And Nancy Wasylik praises Variety, which hosts its annual Show of Hearts Telethon this weekend on Global BC. Nancy and Callie will be tuning in. “If it wasn’t for Variety, I don’t think Callie would be where she is now,” said Nancy. “I follow the telethon. I did a radio interview last year on Kiss-FM when they did a fundraiser for Variety, and we both took part in a big fundraising event in Kelowna last year.”

“If it wasn’t for Variety, I don’t think Callie would be where she is now.”

Finally, after another episode at school, the vice-principal got Callie in to see a pediatrician right away. The doctor thought Callie had a brain tumour. She was sent to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, admitted right away, and tests were conducted during her four-day stay, including a brain encephalogram which showed abnormal results. But it was when a clown came to visit Callie in her room that Dr. Bruce Bjornson put everything together. “The clown was making her laugh and Dr. Bjornson noticed Callie’s eyes were rolling into her head and her tongue was hanging out,” said Nancy. Bjornson figured out that Callie had

narcolepsy, which was causing the constant fatigue, and cataplexy, a rare loss of muscle tone disease that affects roughly 70 per cent of people who have narcolepsy. Callie is one of six kids in Canada, and the youngest, to be diagnosed with narcolepsy. So how is this treated? No pediatrician in Canada specializes in narcolepsy. Dr. Bjornson did some research and discovered a doctor who specializes in helping kids with narcolepsy was based at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. What was Nancy going to do? She contemplated this during a walk around B.C. Children’s Hospital. In a strong twist of fate, she ran into a friend from Vernon in the hospital parking lot, who was down visiting her own daughter.

“With all of this growth, we have a need for space,” said Robert Clarke, vice-president. OSC has leased the heritage hall since 2007, with some of it being used for exhibit storage. “It was our understanding that we were proceeding with a longterm lease so we were surprised about other discussions going on,” said Dixon of the city considering alternate uses. Members of city council did not get into a discussion with OSC representatives or clarify what other activities may occur at the heritage hall. “Because it is a land issue, the discussions to date are in-camera,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

Bid made for Ashton Creek school richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There’s uncertainty over a community asset in Ashton Creek. Jackie Pearase, regional district director, urged the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District Tuesday to consider community needs and not just sell Ashton Creek Elementary to the highest bidder. “They didn’t ask me any questions. It’s hard to read what they’re going to do,” she said. “I’m not sure if they have already made up their minds or if they are keeping an open mind. I hope it is the latter.” The school was closed last year because of low enrolment and the school district has deemed it surplus, paving the way for it to be sold. Pearase hopes the school district won’t

Residents want Ashton Creek school maintained for community uses. just be attracted to the highest offer but will consider the role the school building has played in Ashton Creek for decades. “The school district isn’t a money-making entity. It’s about community and education and the building could serve that purpose.” Pearase would

like to see the site sold to Ashton Creek Fellowship, which currently leases the building for church services. “Community members utilize the gymnasium for winter sports and the local cadet corps will soon hold its weekly meetings in the building,” she said. She added that reno-

vations by the church have made the building more appealing for special events and there could be after-school programs, sports, a community garden and possibly health services. “The will is there to create partnerships and have the building better utilized.” The school district is currently in a consultation phase with residents and prospective buyers about properties it may sell. “When the process wraps up, we will have a clearer idea of what the public thinks of selling public space,” said Chris Coers, trustee for Ashton Creek. Coers says she is aware of the desire among residents to retain public access to the school. “I am elected by this community to listen to these issues so this is important to me,” she

said. “The board has a responsibility to consider fair market value but that’s only what the seller is willing to accept and what the buyer is willing to offer.” A decision on selling the property could be made by trustees in March.

A Lake Country man is facing drug-related charges in connection with a marijuana grow operation shut down by RCMP. Lake Country officers, with the assistance of Kelowna police dog services, executed a search warrant Thursday at a residence and outbuilding in the 12000 block of Oceola Road. Police located an elaborate marijuana growing operation

inside the outbuilding, as well as a Hydro bypass. More than 300 grams of dried marijuana bud was seized. No one was home

during the search but a 58-year-old man was later arrested. Police officers stated that it appeared the harvest from the crop had already been com-

The circle of love

t’s the day after Valentine’s Day, so the overpriced roses may be beginning to fade, the chocolate hearts are long gone and perhaps some of the goodwill towards our significant others has dissipated a little. But since I’m writing this on Feb. 14, the day of love and displays of same are on my mind. Valentine’s Day is one of those days that I sometimes think is designed to make those not in relationships feel bad for being single and those in relationships feel guilty for not doing enough for their beloved. When I was younger and single or just dating someone completely wrong for me I dreamed of the big gesture. Not Katherine Mortimer just a card, but chocolates, a romantic meal somewhere and perhaps throw in a Valentine’s Day marriage proposal while you’re at it. Over the years, I did receive several of the aforementioned gifts, including a marriage proposal, at long last, on Valentine’s Day 1994. The proposal ended in a wedding less than a year later and nearly 18 years later, here we are. Older, not necessarily wiser and certainly nowhere near as romantic as we once were. The cynic in me says one day a year to show your love is ridiculous and designed just to keep Hallmark in business. We should be treating our loved ones with care and devotion the other 364 days of the year. And as I perused the card racks the other day looking for the perfect declaration of love, I balked at paying anywhere from $5 to $12 just for a card. But then I look at the finest example of a couple married for years but still taking the time to do the little things to express their love for each other: my parents. They always remembered to give each other something on Valentine’s Day, not to mention anniversaries, birthdays and other holidays. It didn’t matter that they had an amazing

AT RANDOM

relationship that lasted 53 years. Every Friday when my dad came home from work, he walked through the door bearing a bouquet of roses for my mom. It was a lovely gesture that was not necessary as she knew how much she was loved, but it was appreciated nonetheless. And Mom always sought out the perfect gift for her beloved: a beautiful pair of cufflinks or a first edition of a book he wanted to read. They didn’t need to do these things, because they expressed their love for each other daily. They were truly each other’s best friend, delighting in each other’s company while at the same time giving each other the time and space they needed to pursue their own interests: “And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow,” in the words of Kahlil Gibran on marriage, the cringe-inducing poem we had read at our own wedding (it was the ‘90s). But they took pleasure in giving each other little surprises throughout the year. And those weekly bouquets of roses were dried and saved, the rose petals scattered by my niece, who was flowergirl at my wedding, completing the circle of love. And so while making a grand gesture once a year while treating your partner without care the rest of the year is ridiculous, I do think a little token of love is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it’s easy to forget the romance of that big day where we were surrounded by our loved ones and vowing to love honour and cherish one another. So if it takes a bouquet of over-priced roses and a box of chocolate truffles to remind you of why you fell in love, then so be it. My dad lost his Valentine five years ago, and I know he would give anything to be perusing the racks of over-priced cards just one more time. So when my husband and daughter presented me with their cards yesterday morning, I was touched by this sweet and simple display of their love for me. As Shakespeare once said, “They do not love that do not show their love.”

Public consultation ultimately has to come to an end, but the City of Vernon may be rushing things. Council decided Tuesday that three sessions in January were sufficient for residents to provide feedback on the proposed 2013 budget and an increase in property taxes. But there are some important factors to consider. First off, the three sessions were held on weekday mornings when many people, and particularly those who work, can’t get to city hall for a meeting. The other critical aspect is the content of the budget has changed significantly since those three meetings. On Tuesday alone, $139,000 was removed from the document by tapping into reserves. That took the tax increase from 4.7 to 3.9 per cent or $45 for the average home. Should council’s consideration of the budget not be based on the realities facing residents now and not a proposal from weeks ago? Some council members are hung up on the fact that few residents attend budget input meetings and preparing information that goes ignored is an inefficient use of staff resources. There is a point to that logic as hand-outs and charts cost money to produce. But if elected officials don’t provide opportunities for citizens to take an active role in the process, then there is always going to be a lack of input. And being open and transparent shouldn’t be influenced by one resident showing up or a crowded council chamber. The budget directly impacts the residents of the community — it is their document. With provincial law not requiring the city’s budget to be finalized until May, there is still is considerable time for the city to hear from residents and iron out financial details. After all, developing a budget isn’t a race.

WHAT'S THE ISSUE? Three months to the next election and the mudslinging is already well under way. As a high school social studies teacher, I do my best to encourage my students to observe the process, take an interest in the issues and hopefully commit to taking part in the process once they reach the age of 18. It is very disheartening reading the comments from Mr. Olsen, who claims he wants to “discuss the issues,” but resorts to throwing out seemingly random bits of information that are not connected and leave me wondering what issue he is actually trying to deal with. Is Mr. Olsen suggesting that Mr. Foster and/or the Liberals are responsible for the employment numbers in the province? I am sure whatever statistics exist, both sides can use them to support their argument, but do we really want to discuss numbers or actually have a meaningful discussion about employment trends in the province? Is it the governing party’s responsibility when the global economy goes south? Is it their responsibility when revenues from natural gas and other resources are substantially lower that it was five years ago due to a world wide decrease in demand? Is it the government’s responsibility when more and more companies, in order to remain competitive,

Have a heart this February

here are 7,000 people throughout the province who have an inherited risk of fainting or dying suddenly from an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Often, this is only discovered through an event like fainting. However, research indicates that this is just the tip of the iceberg. For every person identified with inherited arrhythmia, four or more family members may unknowingly be at risk. The condition can be managed with simple medical intervention, but when left unmonitored, it puts lives in danger. As the recently appointed Sauder Family and Heart and Stroke Foundation

hire part-time workers at a much lower cost than full-time employees with benefits? Let’s see if we can have some faith restored in politicians and the political process itself. How about Mr. Olsen and the NDP present us with some real alternatives? Mr. Olsen says that education, health, poverty, seniors, and the environment are all priorities that need more money. Where is that money going to come from? Are there some new efficiencies he is proposing? Are there other services he is prepared to cut? Are they planning a significant tax increase to cover new spending or is the plan for an even larger debt? Personally, I think Mr. Foster has done a very good job for the Vernon area during his term as a first time MLA. Certainly not the easiest time to enter politics on the provincial stage, but he has managed to have several local issues dealt with in a positive way. I would suggest it isn’t very common for a first-time MLA to push his own well-entrenched party to deal with local concerns such as opening up additional beds in our hospital. I think the Liberals need a time out to regroup and refocus. They have been in power too long in my opinion. However, I do hope Mr.

Foster does get re-elected as I do believe he has done a commendable job under very difficult circumstances. Paul Boyd DEFINE QUALITY The City of Vernon has recently released a community profile located at www.investvernon.ca On page eight under the heading Quality of Life, it is stated that, "The Greater Vernon area offers an outstanding quality of life." With the median income for men at $35,575 and for women at $23,000, and the average price of a single-family dwelling sitting at $236,500, I question the City of Vernon's definition of quality. We have all experienced friends and family leave Vernon for the brighter pastures of Alberta or Saskatchewan, unable to make ends meet in our community of low wages and high cost of living. We've scratched our heads, debated over water coolers at work, and chatted with neighbours on the ends of our driveways, wondering how people are making it here. Educated, skilled workers and their families are not staying here. They are choosing 30-below winters over our pleasant climate and spectacular natural environment. Here's the reality, Vernon's tax base will not be able to support the needs of the community if this trend

continues. Don't get me wrong, there are jobs. However, the majority of them are part-time and minimum wage. I understand that a consulting company was hired to create an economic development strategy in 2010. It too is posted on our City of Vernon's website under economic development. The long and short of it is that there is no industry here and it doesn't take a consulting agency to recognize that. We as a community need to make it obvious to our local politicians that jobs are a priority to taxpayers. When you address poverty through job development, you reduce the incidence of crime, domestic violence, addictions, behavioural issues in schools, health concerns reduce or diminish, and the overall collective attitude of a community improves. Is it possible to live in a beautiful city where the cost of living is manageable and where people earn a living wage? J. Lis WEATHER UNITES US Whether you admit to it or not, Canadians love talking about the weather. If you say the weather could be worse, another Canadian will immediately begin to converse.

Casually mentioning the depth of snow or how hard the winds might blow can start a friendship that will grow and grow. Sidewalk strangers will trade smiles as if they’ve walked beside you for miles and miles. In spite of what the politicians say, and they do ramble on day after day, it’s the weather that keeps us together. Lloyd Atkins

Doctor shortage concerns spread ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

The City of Armstrong can empathize with its neighbours to the north over losing doctors. Armstrong council voted unanimously Monday in joining the City of Enderby in writing the provincial health ministry to demand they increase opportunities for international medical graduates (IMGs) to get certification in order to be able to practice in B.C. “A lot of Canadians are studying outside Canada or the U.S. because it’s getting harder to get into Canadian schools,” said Armstrong Coun. Paul Britton. “The problem is when they try to get back, they face a lot of turmoil from universities or the college of physicians (and surgeons). It’s hard work to get certified in Canada.” Armstrong was faced with a potential doctor shortage several years ago but thanks to rallies and community support, the Haugen Medical Centre was created. Enderby is facing having just one permanent doc-

tor after others left for a number of reasons. The Interior Health Authority has stated there will be at least one new doctor this summer. “Enderby is going through the same pains we were,” said Fowler. “Working together with another community that has a similar problem will have a lot more impact, and we can encourage other communities to do the same.” Mayor Chris Pieper recalled attending a workshop at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention a few years ago, conducted by Margaret MacDiarmid, who is now B.C.’s health minister. “She was quite the advocate at that time for getting these students back and getting rid of the roadblocks stopping them from practicing medicine,” said Pieper. Both Enderby and Armstrong have received a letter from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C., explaining they are aware of the barriers that restrict licensing IMGs. The college has invited Enderby council to meet with members of its registrar staff at the college regarding the licensing of IMGs.

Falkland waves the flag Morning Star Staff

Falkland is raising the flag. Today is the 48th anniversary of Canada’s maple leaf flag being raised for the first time on Feb. 15, 1965. To celebrate, Falkland businesses will be handing out Canadian flag pins while supplies last. “It is up to us to display the flag and show our pride and caring for our country,” said Fran Nikon, with I Care, a Falkland movement that promotes patriotism. Prior to the maple leaf design, Canada used a flag with the British ensign. “After years of discussion, heated debates and examining thousands of potential Canadian flag designs, the red and white Maple Leaf design was chosen,” said Nikon.

It’s been an Armstrong lovefest for Kaye Cornish. Her grandparents immigrated from Scotland and settled in Armstrong in 1920. Cornish’s parents, Bob and Peggy Foulis, were married at the United Church. Cornish was working as a lifeguard at the Memorial Park swimming pool when she met swimming coach Wayne Cornish, who had moved to Armstrong at age six. They dated for three years before deciding to get married in the same United Church her parents were wed. “I was raised in the United Church so it was natural to marry there,” said Cornish, now 63, who has been married to Wayne for 44 years. “My parents were pretty happy.” Wayne’s sister got married in Armstrong, as did her husband’s parents, her husband’s mother’s parents and her youngest son. Cornish’s older cousin Ian Huggins and his wife, Karen, were also married in Armstrong at the United Church and Cornish’s oldest daughter, Michelle,

married Scott Lake in Armstrong. “Armstrong is a nice farming community and a comfortable place to live,” said Cornish, who will be front and centre with her sisterin-law Saturday at the Centennial Theatre for one of the two Celebration of Love shows, organized by the Armstrong Centennial committee. The event will showcase Armstrong’s citizens and celebrate their lives and marriages. Cornish donated her wedding dress which has been on display at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “I’m looking forward to the show,” said Cornish. “I’m really looking forward to seeing the old vintage dresses.” The shows run at 2 and 7 p.m.

Council reconsiders trail kevin parnell Black Press

Lake Country council will have a familiar issue at the next meeting after residents raised concerns about the proposed clean up of a three-kilometre walking trail alongside Okanagan Lake. Council had previously passed a motion to remove old boathouses, boats, chairs and other private property left on the greenspace by residents but, following a presentation by two Lake Country residents who were against the clean up, council will be debating the issue again Tuesday. “There is something of lifestyle and essence of a comJames Baker munity that isn’t being recognized when you go through and clean up all of the tables and people’s kayaks that they use from time to time,” said resident resident David Geen. “As a community you have the right to describe what you want in your community.” Geen said the community Jamie McEwan was never properly consulted about the plan to remove private property from the greenspace, a trail that is public property that the district’s parks committee had wanted cleaned up. But Geen said a clean-up will change the character of Okanagan Centre and is against a sector plan that was put together in 2006. “We didn’t want street lights, we didn’t want extensive sidewalks. That is part of the lifestyle which has been here for 100 years, including the use of the beach area, the so-called greenspace. “Council suddenly decided they were going to clean up that lifestyle. We’ve never had a town meeting about the greenspace and I can’t see how council can make a decision without doing that.” Coun. Jamie McEwan, who sits on the parks committee, says he was surprised the issue will be back in front of council but welcomed the input from the concerned residents. “I understand this is a big change for the area,” said McEwan. “The area has been able to function as is for quite some time and this council has brought a lot of changes. It might be rather drastic for the area but I think it would be there for the benefit

Mannequins wanted for Armstrong event Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce needs mannequins. They could also use some dress forms to help out with the overflow of vintage dresses they’ve received to display in their office to promote a Celebration of Love Saturday at the Centennial Theatre. The event is part of Armstrong’s 100th birthday celebrations and will showcase Armstrong’s citizens and celebrate their lives and marriages. There will be two shows at 2 and 7 p.m. for residents to attend. Anybody that can help out with mannequins or dress forms is asked to call Patti at the chamber at 250-546-8155, or by e-mail to manager@aschamber.com.

and enjoyment of the entire community. This is the direction our parks and recreation committee would like to go. It’s always a matter of balancing a multitude of perspectives on any issue.” McEwan added that with the amount of private property items strewn about the greenspace, the trail can often be mistaken for private property, especially by people who may not be familiar with Okanagan Centre. Mayor James Baker says council members will take the public’s concerns into consideration and hinted that a public meeting on the issue could be coming. “Before any changes were going to be made to the greenspace we were going to do a public meeting,” Baker said.

Helping home buyers

ur government recognizes that first-time home buyers can face additional expenses such as legal fees, land transfer taxes and other costs involved in buying a family home. We also understand that buying a first home is a milestone for many Canadians and is likely the single largest investment they will ever make. To help make this dream a reality, the Harper government created the first-time home buyers’ tax credit to support families as they make the leap into home ownership. The first-time home buyers’ tax credit provides tax Colin Mayes relief to families and helps make the transition into home ownership more affordable. In its first two years alone, more than 550,000 Canadians claimed the first-time home buyers’ tax credit which resulted in more than $2.5 billion claimed. Not only are families keeping more of their hard-earned dollars in their pocket, but when people are buying homes, local trades people are being put to work, local businesses get a boost and both the real estate industry and the local economy thrive. If you or your spouse or common-law partner

MP rePort

bought your first home this year, you can claim an amount of $5,000 on your income tax and benefit return. The amount only applies if you did not live in another home owned by you or your spouse or common-law partner in the year of acquisition or in any of the four preceding years. Equally important, if you or a person related to you is eligible for the disability tax credit, you can claim the credit even if you are not a first-time home buyer as long as you are purchasing a house that is more accessible or better suited to the needs of the person with a disability. Tax relief measures like the first-time home buyers’ tax credit, are an essential part of the Harper government’s effort to stimulate the economy and to create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity for Canadians. The first-time home buyers’ tax credit is part of the Harper government’s strong record of providing tax relief to Canadians. Thanks to these efforts, the average family of four now receives more than $3,000 in extra tax savings. The federal tax burden for all Canadians is now the lowest it’s been in half a century. For more information about how this credit may apply to you and to find out about other credits and deductions for homeowners, I encourage you to visit the Canada Revenue Agency’s website at www.cra.gc.ca.

Lumby embraces paperless agendas Morning Star Staff

Lumby council is going high-tech. Within the next few weeks, the village will move towards paperless agendas for all council and committee meetings. “Moving to a paperless system is anticipated to result in a huge time-saving when it comes to creating meeting agendas,” said Tom Kadla, chief administrative officer. “There will also be savings from less paper and related supplies consumed in creation of these agendas. We can pass these savings on to the taxpaytom Kadla er by investing time into other areas that align with council’s strategic direction. The village has purchased an Agenda SE, which will publish agendas to councillor iPads. Council members will be able to annotate and organize their agendas right on their tablet and receive instant updates if anything changes. “The village can also upload digital agendas on to their website, providing the framework for increased citizen participation and a more open

and transparent government,” said Scott Neufeld, with iCompass, the company providing the technology.

Cents secure playoff spot Morning Star Staff

The Merritt Centennials have used a three-game winning streak to clinch a B.C. Hockey League playoff spot despite going through some major adversity. The Cents, who entertain the Vernon Vipers tonight at Nicola Valley Arena, iced the Penticton Vees 1-0 and grounded the Langley Rivermen 5-0 in road games last weekend with heavy hearts. Five days before the win in Penticton before a record crowd of 4,002, the Centennials’ Sebastien Pare lost his mother, Tracy, due to illness. A celebration of life was held in her honour on Sunday, in Langley, which the entire Cents’ team attended. The night before, while in Penticton, Cents players and officials were informed after the game that Brad Steel, the father of Centennials netminder Tyler Steel, had suffered a serious heart attack while en route to the game. Steel, a former Vernon resident, remains in Kelowna Hospital. “Friday night was incredibly tough,” Cents head coach and GM Luke Pierce, a former Viper, said, “and Saturday was a very long, and emotionally draining day. The players did an absolutely marvellous job of sticking together. I am very proud of them.” The Cents got 28 saves from rookie goalie Russell Sanderson (first star) in a 4-2 win over the visiting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Wednesday night. Pare, Jeff Wight, Brent Fletcher and Derek Huisman (empty net) scored for the second-place Cents. Shane Hanna and Brayden Sherbinin replied for the SilverBacks.

Lakers make Okanagan cut Kevin MitChell Sports Editor

Some scored or set up goals. Others used physical play. And a few simply played it steady and simple. All strategies worked as nine members of the Vernon Sladen Moore Bantam A Lakers made the grade at a B.C. Hockey Under 16 female regional tryout camp last month in Lumby. Forwards Ripley Burd (Kelowna), Olivia Comeau, Andie Kaneda, Jenna Fletcher, Mairyn Tucker and Paige Chapdelaine will join defencemen Makenna Southam and Hunter Joseph on Team Thompson-Okanagan. Makena Hoffman of the Vernon Bantam Tier 2 Renegades was also selected. They face five other regional teams in the Female Under 16 B.C. Cup, April 4-7, at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan. “We are thrilled to renew our partnership with B.C. Hockey on another major event for the Cowichan Valley,” said Island Savings Centre manager John Elzinga. “We especially look forward to another opportunity to promote female participation in sport, and grow girls’ hockey.” B.C. Hockey’s Female High Performance Program was established to identify and train athletes and team personnel for possible participation at provincial, national and international events.

Back, from left, Paige Chapdelaine, hunter Joseph and Olivia Comeau. Missing: Ripley Burd. Southam, who turned 14 last week, started regular family skates at age four and like her father, Jeff, an assistant coach with the Lakers, is a naturalborn blade runner. “I was probably noticed (in Lumby) because of my aggression,” said Southam, an Edmonton Oiler fan. “I’m not the biggest player, but I’m not scared of going in the corner with the bigger girls. “My strong points playing defence are my ability to think on the spot and my ability to

make quick decisions.” Southam wasn’t surprised to see so many Lakers chosen in the group of 32 campers. “I knew we had the potential. Vernon’s female hockey has really been excelling and this just shows it.” The Grade 8 VSS student dropped Rep soccer to devote more time to hockey. She has dreams of playing college hockey in Canada. “I do homework, play hockey and get in a little social time with friends. My dad is always encour-

aging us (younger sister Carly is also a sweet skater) to go in the shop and work on our shots.” Fletcher, who celebrated her 14th birthday on Valentine’s Day, is a towering, offensive right winger who began skating when she was six. The Lakers smashed chocolate cupcakes in her face to mark her birthday at the end of practice Wednesday night. “I’m a pretty fast skater, I have a decent shot and I think I see the ice well,” said Fletcher, who plays volleyball at VSS and enjoys downhill skiing. “I try to be tough on the puck. I think that I hustled (at trials) a lot and tried my hardest.” The camp consisted of drills on day 1 and two scrimmages on the final day. “Going into the room was intense,” said Fletcher, of the team decision process. “They gave us thing to work on to get better for the B.C. Cup.” Born in China, Fletcher is a huge Vancouver Canuck fan “because all my family watches them.” The Lakers host the provincial Bantam A championships, March 16-20, at Wesbild Centre. They will sponsor an allfemale ice time Saturday, March 9 from 12:45-2:15 p.m. at Civic Arena, open free to players aged 5-14. Vernon hopes to attract enough girls to ice Midget, Bantam and Pee Wee teams next year.

Nufloors polishes off timber crew for semis berth Morning Star Staff

Darrell Houston’s Nufloors is through to the Baron Insurance Super League semifinals after a 7-2 quarterfinal win over Robbi Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. Houston, who will face Dave Merklinger’s Canwest Propane in the semis, opened with a huge four-ender and never let up against NET. After forcing Kuhn to singles in two and four, and counting one in three, Houston earned an early night upstairs with a deuce in five. Less than a week after meeting in men’s provincials, Mark Longworth’s Sladen Moore earned a berth in the Super League championship by brushing back Jim Cotter’s

Woodland Equipment 6-5 in semifinal play. Longworth jumped out to a 3-0 lead on thefts of two in one and one in two. Cotter stormed back with a triple in three and took the lead by burgling singles in four and five. Sladen looked assured of a three-ender in the sixth end until Cotter delivered the shot of the game – a triple takeout to force a blank end. Longworth counted one in seven to pull within a point, and then sealed the comeback by burying a pair on the fourfoot that Cotter was unable to dislodge. n There are two girls and two boys teams battling at Juvenile playdowns this weekend in Salmon Arm. Representing the Vernon club are: Team Schmidt (skip Clare

Schmidt, third Emma Smith, second Jaelyn Cotter, lead Cassidy Schwaerzie and alternate Miranda Chapple); Team Hofer (skip Sydney Hofer, third Erin Huitema, second Sarah Huitema, lead Emma Denty and alternate Megan deSousa); Team Cliff (skip Brendan Cliff, third Matthew Schiman, second Deven Schmidt and lead Matthew Young); and Team Love (skip Thomas Love, third Jonathan Schwartz, second Erik Colwell and lead Greg Geistlinger). n Team Canada, featuring Armstrong’s Ina Forrest at second and Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet at lead, begins play at the World Wheelchair Curling Championships Saturday in Sochi, Russia. Playing at the Ice Cube Curling Centre (2014 Olympic venue), Canada will face Korea in their opener.

Rockets soaring Morning Star Staff

Denny’s Ice Rockets appear primed for the Okanagan North Atom Super Hockey League playoffs. The rising Ice Rockets swamped the host Sicamous Predators 12-1 and grounded Lakeside Accuprint Thunder 6-2 last weekend, moving to fifth place at 9-7-2. Sicamous celebrated early as Madison Dewitt sunk the Predators’ first shot, but it was all Vernon after that. Sapien Joe (2+1) burned the Sicamous dee to the outside on two scoring plays in the first, tying the game with a blocker-side missile, and later centering to Shaun Huizinga for a point-blank one-timer. Eric Foufoulas stopped a 2-on-0 before the break, and made a spectacular diving glove save in the second. Zac Funk (3+1) orchestrated Vernon’s next three markers, setting up Maddex Minard on the doorstep, and then scoring twice himself. Funk’s second, after an outside-inside move at the blueline, made it 5-1 early in the third. Bailey Alexis, with some determined board work, freed the puck for Ben Reinhardt (2G), who crossed the zone and whipped it high. Vernon rearguard Liam Remple (3+1) scored on each of his three shots in the final period. Both Remple and Zac Funk completed their hat tricks in the last two minutes. Rocket goalie Teja Sheldrake was perfect in relief, his finest save coming on a Dewitt breakaway. Sheldrake’s half-game shutout was his second in his last three games. At Priest Valley Arena on Sunday, the Thunder took a 1-0 lead into the second, but Joe answered seconds in, taking a Huizinga pass and burying a wrister off the right wing. Liam Reid then fed Joe, who dangled through the Thunder defence and netted a backhander on the glove side. Next, Reilly Teager stole the puck behind the Thunder net and swiftly centered to Funk, who buried a one-time snapper. Down 3-1, the Thunder struck back as Jackson Soucy found a wide-

open Owen Palfreyman for his second of the game. In the dying seconds of the period, Reilly Teager converted a rebound by Joe. In the third, Chris Reinhardt forced a turnover in the Thunder end, and Ben Reinhardt swooped in, ripping a low shot home. Reid wrapped things up with a roof job after going coast to coast. In Pee Wee Super League play, the Butcher Boys Titans came up big with back-to-back wins with the playoffs on the horizon. The Titans (9-6-2) rallied to stop the Salmon Arm Tiger Sharks 7-4 Saturday at the Shaw Centre. Sean Howard and Tyson Sampert scored early in the game and the Tiger Sharks came back hard and held a 4-2 early lead in the third. Talon Williams pulled Butcher Boys within one, and Landen Harison equalized before Williams put the Titans ahead. Singles from Dakota Becker and Christ Aldrich iced the game. Williams kept up his scoring surge by completing his first career hat trick with a nifty deke on a penalty shot Sunday as the Titans slammed host Sicamous 8-0. High fives followed a great team effort to set Emily Wilson Francois up with her first-ever goal. The Titans then rallied to help Mac Gilchrist, who’s been stellar on the blueline, move up to forward and get his first league goal of the season. Harison had a deuce and Nicolas Hartwig banged in a rebound for Butcher Boys. Tyson Sampert and Miles Wohlford played key roles in moving from forward to defence in both games. The Bannister GM Flames upended the Stevenson Mechanical Blues 6-4 in Pee Wee play Sunday at PV. Goalie Erik Urquhart recorded his finest game of the season and Nick Mitchell scored twice to spark the Flames (10-5-2). Ever-improving winger Aaron Jodoin pocketed 1+2 for the Flames, other goals coming from Chase Batchelor, Reece Hawthorne and Jacob Brewer.

Devils haul down Titans Continued from A26

Carter Morris was stellar on defence. Reid Lawrence supplied 2+1 for the Blues (104-3) and was stopped by Urquhart on two breakaways. Zack Laranjo and Braydie Allan-Webber added singles in support of Dylan Blazek and Sam Knox. Finn O’Keefe counted 4+3 as the Sub City Donair Devils downed the Salmar Classic Titans 8-3 in Salmon Arm. Brogan Houston, Chapperon Chillihitzia, Cameron Work and Seb Wenger each had 1+1 for the 13-2-1 Devils. Hustling d-man Adam Raber also had one helper, while Dalton Stenberg earned a shutout in his half. In Bantam action, the Interior Savings Flyers clinched the regular-season title by toppling the Five Star Awards Bulldogs 6-2 Saturday night at Civic Arena and tying the DCT Chambers Coyotes 3-3 Sunday at PV. Adam Roemer (4), Jake Pelletier (1+2) and Brendan Horsfield scored for the Flyers (15-1-1) Saturday. Mac Gourdine and Pee Wee call-up Nick Mitchell replied for the Bulldogs (5-11), who also summoned d-man Cody Webb from Pee Wee. The Flyers got two goals from Roemer, one off a great feed by captain Cole Bradley, and a single from Keefer Kaempf. Parker Wadsworth, Dex Elders and Cole Martin, with the late equalizer, replied for DCT (14-2-2). The Scotiabank Lightning stretched their undefeated streak to nine by bouncing the North Broadview Plumbing and Heating Flyers 8-2 Sunday in Salmon Arm. Power forward Landon Currie registered a natural hat trick in the early minutes for the 12-32 Bolts before the Flyers (3-12-2) responded. Sam Frisby (1+2) set up Cam MacKenzie for the 4-1 goal before using some smooth dangles for the Bolts’ fifth snipe. Brett Lambert and Sam Eggert (1+3) made it 7-2 Scotiabank. Salmon Arm enjoyed a flurry of chances against Lightning goalie Isaac Waldemaras (who dropped his stick) and set up a beauty one-timer at the left side of the net, but Waldemaras slid cross-crease

The Vipers’ leading pointgetter is Mason Blacklock with 15-24-29, while the Caps’ top man is Steen Cooper with 10-17-27.

THE ABNORMAL PLAY IS HARD TO MAKE William James, an eminent 18th- and 19th-century psychologist, said, “To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal.” Today’s deal seems to contain a normal play, but is it time for an abnormal one? South is in three no-trump. West leads the diamond king. What should declarer do? South had seven top tricks: one spade, one heart, one diamond and four clubs. He saw that at least two more tricks would come from spades. And since he knew a Bath Coup when he saw one, he played his low diamond at trick one. However, East had correctly played his diamond

three. And West knew that his partner would have thrown out the jack or ace if he had held it, or played a high spot card. So West cleverly shifted to the heart jack. This time, East encouraged enthusiastically with his nine. Declarer ducked, but West continued with the heart 10, and East accurately overtook with his queen. Now South could not succeed. If he had taken this trick, crossed to the dummy with a club, and tried the spade finesse, West would have won with his king and led his last heart to give the defenders one spade, four hearts and one diamond. And if South had ducked the second heart, East would have reverted to diamonds, giving the defense one spade,

quality delivery.

two hearts and four diamonds (unless declarer cashed his seven top tricks). South should have won the first trick, crossed to the dummy, and run the spade queen. Yes, the finesse would have lost, but declarer’s diamond jack-four would have been a stopper with West on lead.

Independent MLAs have a dream

magine a province where party leaders are chosen in an independently supervised vote, with 12-yearolds, dead people and pets prevented from voting. Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of financing political parties and

then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over. Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime if the incumbent party is defeated. A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of

fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest that this brief three-week legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and House leader, if he would consider it. He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant. Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in policymaking. Simpson gave the example of Prince George MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts. The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough organization to stage a leadership contest?

This is the question that Shelley Pacholok, assistant professor of sociology at UBC’s Okanagan campus, is exploring in a new line of research. “Most of the work that has been done so far on disasters documents the ways social inequality is perpetuated in the aftermath of the disaster,” says Pacholok. “This work is important and we don’t want to overshadow the struggles that people face when they experience a disaster. But we don’t want to be blind to the possibility that crises can transform social life in ways that may be beneficial. “The crisis creates situations that force people to do things differently, at least temporarily. So what does that mean for social relationships, and more broadly, inequalities? It’s a new question, and it’s exploratory. There’s no literature to draw upon, as this hasn’t been an area of inquiry in disaster studies.” Using seed funding from UBC Okanagan, Pacholok and her research assistant Marcilyn Cianfarani travelled to New York City to conduct a small pilot project on Hurricane Sandy. Pacholok interviewed eight people who were identified as being marginalized in the wake of the storm. Participants were asked to relay their hurricane experiences, including ways the storm impacted their personal relationships. “The people we spoke with were struggling on a number of different levels, from housing and relocation issues to navigating disaster relief programs. We encouraged them to

talk about that, but we also asked them if anything good happened during, or resulting from, the experience,”

says Pacholok. “It was surprising to find quite a few people referenced how they positively con-

nected with people they wouldn’t have normally connected with.” For example, Pacholok recalls a story

shared with her by a homeless man who lived in a community with racial tensions between Hispanics and

Af r ican-Amer icans. He talked about taking shelter in an apartment building during the storm, how the two

groups pulled together and shared their meager resources, looking out for one another and sleeping in shifts.

Cranked speaks a hard truth

Cautionary tale about dangers of crystal meth stages at Vernon Performing Arts Centre Monday Morning Star Staff

Known for their touring shows that explore social issues relevant to the lives of children, youth and young adults, Green Thumb Theatre returns with a new touring production that looks at the dangers and consequences of crystal methamphetamine addiction. Told through hip hop and spoken word, Cranked is the story of Stan, a.k.a. “definition,” a rising freestyle MC who loses it all because of his meth habit. The play will be performed at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Monday. With music provided by Vancouver hip hop artists Kyprios (of Sweatshop Union fame) and Stylust, Cranked uses the power of hip hop to viscerally connect with teens and young people. “Using slang and pop culture that is up-to-the-minute relevant got a serious message across, while still creating something that is entertaining,” said parent John Vazquez. In the play, Stan confronts his demons as he preps for an DaviD Cooper upcoming competition withKyle Cameron takes on the role as Stan, a.k.a. “definition,” a hip hop artist trying to get over a devastating crystal meth addic- out the “fix” that has domition in Green Thumb Theatre’s Cranked, playing at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Monday. nated his life.

Memories of the highs and the rush of music all collide as he struggles to recapture what he once had. Written by playwright/ actor Michael P. Northey, Cranked has been performed at New York’s Duke Theatre off Broadway, at the Sydney Opera House and in theatres all over Canada and the U.S. It has also played to schools around B.C. as part of Green Thumb’s mandate to engage young people and to celebrate the language and stories of today’s culture and generation. “In schools, our plays provide valuable curriculum connections, present important themes and encourage inclusion, creativity and critical thinking,” said Green Thumb artistic director Patrick McDonald. Indeed Cranked has resonated with young people as one student, Amanda, put it: “(Cranked) has to be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I’m 16 and it scared the crap out of me.” Green Thumb Theatre’s Cranked shows to the public on Monday at 7 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Admission is by donation at the door.

Tovey gives enlightening, witty performance

Jay Schappert Special to The Morning Star

Tuesday evening’s fundraising event for the North Okanagan’s Community Concert Association was up close and personal with maestro Bramwell Tovey — a man for all seasons and song — gift-tied with the ribbon of laughter. Maestro Tovey began the evening with Ivor Novello’s Waltz of my Heart. His command of NOCCA’s Steinway was truly masterful. He set the scene for melody and laughter by promising a program of music important to him and stories of why. He said that would give the audience a concert and save him therapy.

We were treated to beautiful, endlessly creative and magnificent classical, jazz, and modern music, although he said nothing written past the 1950s is worth playing. Tovey then turned to something he hadn’t planned to play: a unique rendition of The Skye Boat Song, brought to his mind by seeing Okanagan Lake. He then showed how the cello and the harp could be imitated on the piano (complete with a word picture of a man in tights with a crossbow heading out into a forest. Today we might issue an amber alert!) His body was so filled with music it poured out through his fingertips, and occasionally his left foot seemed to sneak away

on a rhythmic adventure all its own. Maestro Tovey concluded the first part of the concert as he shone the spotlight on Rosemary Thomson, music director of the Okanagan Symphony and his former assistant conductor in Winnipeg. Especially for her, he played the version of The Lord’s My Shepherd he’d played at his own wedding where Thomson was a guest. In the second half, he jumped into jazz and his interpretation of Red Roses for a Blue Lady was tender but saucy with velvet fingers and the nuance of effortlessness. He extemporized Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, which was its first public performance, entirely with the left hand as he

enjoyed a bottled water with his right. He quipped the right hand didn’t know the melody and just chimed in with the very last note. That was OK, he said, because a conductor uses his right hand so much, it gets tired and needs a rest occasionally. Tovey recognized Nicole Shaver in the audience. She was a violinist under his Winnipeg Symphony baton and now lives in Vernon, teaching violin in the school system. Laughing at what he called his own “cosmetically challenged appearance,” he said one reason he became a conductor was after you bowed to the audience you could turn your back on them.

Cellists attempt to rock the bow 2Cellos: In2ition

agreb, Croatia-based duo Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, known as 2Cellos, can rock the cello, but does their music rock and roll? The classically trained twosome’s Dean Gordon-Smith second album, In2ition, puts forth a convincing case for the chamber music mainstay as a weaponin-waiting; but just lay on the distortion. 2Cellos have some rocking forbears, after a fashion anyway. There was fusion maestro Jean

Street SoundS

Luc Ponty wanking out some space jams on his violin back in the ‘70s, as well as Eddie Jobson of British prog-rock band UK doing the same thing in the same decade… And who can forget ELO? More recently there’s been English classical rocker, Nigel Kennedy wailing on a fuzzed out violin. But do they rock? Well, they’re playing around the edges of the genre, using its sonic characteristics to expand their palette. Those are violins though, high-end solo instruments. Cellos, with their lower registers have more force, which is needed when playing guitarcentric songs. Sulic and Hauser have added amplification and distortion where needed. It works because the cellos possess sustain, bottom end, vibrato and sliding

capabilities. Those traits sound great cranked up, as in an electric guitar. There are some fine moments of ferocity here, especially on Oh Well (early Fleetwood Mac tune), Supermassive Black Hole (Muse) and Voodoo People (The Prodigy). These songs allow 2Cellos to play with abandon and they attack the instruments with power. Their interplay is dazzling and the thump and chunk of the big instruments is reminiscent of a baritone electric guitar; always a singular sound. For the most part, the material is well chosen. 2Cellos has some big guns on In2ition to lend ears and opinions. Legendary rock producer Bob Ezrin is at the dials and is responsible for the clarity and punch on the tracks.

Elton John sings on Oh Well as well as contributing his classic song Candle in the Wind. Guitar virtuoso Steve Vai adds some squeal to Highway to Hell, a ballsy but contrived rendition. The darker songs seem to work naturally as an instrumental Every Breath You Take and Bang Bang demonstrate. The latter song has a vibey, spooky vocal from Sky Ferreira that brings the spirit of dejection that the track demands. It can be a tough call, playing guitar-based rock on traditional classical instruments. There’s a suggestion of novelty – a project or crossover venture. Perhaps it’s because this type of music (rock) hasn’t been written with those instruments so it’s not a natural fit. And that’s down to the mojo, baby.

Actors suffer from identity crises

identity Thief

andy Bigelow Patterson (Jason Bateman) is a mildmannered businessman who has his identity stolen by Diane (Melissa McCarthy). With the police unable to help him and his employment dependent Taylor & Howe upon his financial reputation, Patterson must track down and drag back his identity thief. We say, “Watch out for smooth talking telemarketers.” HOWE: McCarthy good. Bateman great. Identity Thief, lousy piece of trash. I really like McCarthy. I think she is funny, but only in small doses like when she was in This is Forty. In this, as a lead role, I got tired of her, or maybe it was just her character. Bateman, on the other hand, seems to play the same roles in every movie that he stars in. I think he’s a good actor. I would just like to see him take a small step sidewards and take on a role that he can sink his teeth into. TAYLOR: McCarthy can act. I think it’s likely that she’s a very good actor, maybe even great, but because she’s become popular at playing large and obnoxious she’s stuck cashing in on these type of roles. I noticed she could act in this film because her character is an actor who has to play roles to live the criminal life she leads. When “Diane” (her character doesn’t know her real name) is playing sad, or hurt, it was differ-

Reel Reviews

Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy kill 90 minutes in Identity Thief. ent than when she was truly sad or hurt. I can foresee McCarthy showing us her greatness in the future, after she develops some scruples. Jason Bateman, on the other hand, is a tall glass of tepid water. HOWE: Again like most comedy movies we see nowadays, they show all the best bits in the trailers. The movie companies get you hooked on what looks like a funny movie only to let you down big time when that moment arrives. (Just like the promise of England’s football team doing well at the World Cup.) TAYLOR: Well, there was plenty of laughter from the audience, which was packed, but I wasn’t laughing. Admittedly, I have a stranger sense of humour. It takes a little more than throat punching and cussing to tickle my funny bone. In America this movie is rated R. In Canada it’s 14A, and I think this is a fitting

rating. There’s nothing in this film a teenager couldn’t handle. HOWE: Director Seth Gordon has brought us movies of the same calibre in the past: Horrible Bosses or Four Christmases, just to name a couple. If these little nuggets made you chuckle then Identity Thief could be right up your street. For me, I’ve had funnier trips to the dentist. TAYLOR: On the whole, this film is full of unwarranted coincidences, cheap plot devices, stereotypes bordering on the level of television programming and reasons to laugh at the misfortunes of others. If that is your cup of tea, help yourself to a couple lumps. I thought it was just more Hollywood regurgitation. — Taylor gives Identity Thief 2 years in jail out of 5. — Howe gives it 2 belt whips out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Naturalists take note AAron M. DeAns

Special to The Morning Star

The 2013 edition of the North Okanagan Swan and Eagle Count was a cold one at minus 10 degrees C but that didn’t prevent many naturalist and Young Naturalists’ Club members from participating. Thirty people in all covered a total of seven survey routes that included Kalamalka, Okanagan, Mara and Mabel Lakes as well as waterways and landscapes in between. Birds turned up on all routes, and surveyors were rewarded with some wonderful observations. There were both expected and unexpected results to this year’s count. As has been the case during a majority of mid-January counts in recent years, there were no confirmed Golden Eagle or Tundra Swan citings made in the North Okanagan this year. The number of Bald Eagles continues to appear robust in our region, though, with a total of 146 of the big baldies, including 42 sub-adult birds (29 per cent juvenile birds), tallied this year. Juvenile Bald Eagle with its broader wings and longer tails than their adult counterparts can be misidentified as Golden Eagle. One needs to look for the consistently golden nape and relatively small head (often less than half the length of its tail) to confirm Golden Eagle. For a second year in a row, Trumpeter Swan (four adults) was observed on the south end of Kalamalka Lake near Kaloya Provincial Park; however, inexplicably, the total number of Trumpeter Swan citings was substantially lower this year than recent years have shown (see data in chart above).

ear Annie: My brother, “Jay,” and his wife have an adopted daughter, “Anna,” who is now three years old. We adore her. Jay and I recently got into an argument. He said they were angry that we didn’t call Anna on her birthday. I was surprised by this, as we had already wished her a happy birthday in person, with a gift and a card at her party a few days prior to her actual birthday. When Jay and I were kids, we were always happy to receive a card and a gift from our aunts and uncles. We never expected them to call, as well. In addition, Jay said that they were angry that my husband and I didn’t take time off of work to be at the courthouse to celebrate the “official” adoption six months after Anna was born. We told him at the time that we couldn’t take time off and would celebrate with them at their home, which we did. At that time, Jay said it was fine, but now, it apparently wasn’t good enough. When my husband and I adopted our oldest child, we never demanded that anyone take the day off of work to be at the courthouse, nor to be at the hospital when our younger kids were born. Annie, we celebrated

Anna’s adoption multiple times — right after her birth, at her baptism, when we gave them a baby shower and then at their home after the courthouse. I reminded Jay of these things and told him we love Anna and don’t like his implication that we don’t care. Are Jay’s expectations reasonable? Should we call Anna on her birthday even when we’ve already celebrated with her? They act as if the world revolves around them. — Can’t Keep Up Dear Can’t: Attending Anna’s birthday party and giving her a gift was sufficient. It’s also lovely to call on the actual birthday, but it is not an obligation. The rest of Jay’s complaints are irrational and self-centered. We don’t recommend arguing with him. He won’t see things your way. Placate and ignore.

She enjoyed playing bridge, was very fond of her dogs, and loved travelling. A private service will be held for immediate family.

The family would like to express their tremendous respect and appreciation for the staff and volunteers at Kelowna General Hospital, Lakeview Lodge in West Kelowna, and the Kelowna Hospice Society.

We’re on the net at www.bcclassiﬁed.com Schmidt, Zula Maria Nov. 12, 1928 - Feb. 6, 2013

We regret to announce the passing of Zula on Feb. 6, 2013 at Parkview Place in Enderby. Zula was the second oldest of six children born to Remy and Clara Buysse in Waarschoot, Belgium. As WWII ended, Zula’s aunt Zuma came to Belgium to pick Zula up and bring her to Canada. They traveled by ship where they made a stop in New York. This is where Zula’s aunt Zuma spent some Ɵme singing opera. From New York they went to Vancouver, and then to Ocean Falls where Aunt Zuma’s husband Andrew Ackerman was busy working at building the town of Ocean Falls. It is there where Zula met Fred Schmidt whom she married. Fred and Zula also had their Įrst child born in Ocean Falls whom they named Willy. They spent two years there unƟl moving to the coast, where they bought 5 acres in Delta and built a home. They wanted more children, but Zula was having problems. It took 9 years and 5 miscarriages from the Ɵme Willy was born before Zula went full term with her 7th pregnancy and Tim was born. By the Ɵme the late 60’s rolled around, Fred was Ɵred of the traĸc commuƟng to work, (Fred was a millwright/welder) so he decided to pull up roots and move to a place he had heard about from a shoe salesman who worked downtown Vancouver. The place was Enderby. Zula had mixed feelings about this move because by this Ɵme all her other siblings, including her parents had all moved to the lower mainland. Two brothers in Campbell River, one brother in <iƟmat, and her two sisters and parents were just one block away from where she was living in Delta. Fred bought a lot in Enderby and built a home on it for them to live in. Zula’s husband was working for I.M.I. at the Ɵme and was one of the contractors who built the mill just south of Armstrong, which was owned by Crown Zellerbach at the Ɵme. In 1972 Fred Schmidt passed away suddenly of a heart aƩack. He was working in Golden at the Ɵme. Now Zula had to Įnd a job. She got hired on at Parkview Place in Enderby and became a care-aid. She enjoyed her job greatly, helping and working with the elderly. It was three years later that Zula met Cecil Milligan, who had three young children of his own. They became longƟme companions. Zula cared for Cecil’s children as if they were her own. Zula worked at Parkview Place for 15 years before reƟring in 1986. She enjoyed dancing, traveling, kniƫng, and especially enjoyed her family and friends. Zula is survived by her two sons Willy and Tim, her long Ɵme companion Cecil Milligan, and Cecil’s three children Darla, Marla and Barry, her two sisters, MoniƋue and LaureƩe, two brothers - Willy and Alvar. She also leaves behind 3 grandsons, 3 great-granddaughters, and one other greatgrandchild that’s on the way. Zula was predeceased by one brother Omar and of course her parents. We would like to thank the staī at Parkview Place for all the care and compassion they gave Zula during the last 5 years. Zula always enjoyed a gathering of good friends and family where there was food involved. Her wishes were to have a luncheon on her behalf. This will take place in Enderby someƟme in early April 2013.
