“It’s not appropriate that we have the report now,” he said. However, Mayor Rob Sawatzky says there were no ulterior motives behind the report. “If the presentation was meant to be a sales presentation, I wouldn’t pay very much for it,” he said. “It wasn’t promotional, it was informational.” Will Pearce, chief administrator officer, says it was his decision for the staff report and it was in response to previous council concerns about bylaw enforcement. “It was not intended to influence council’s decision (on the core service review),” said Pearce.
The long-term viability of a local call centre has apparently come at the expense of some workers. Service Quality Management Group, which surveys people about the service provided by other call centres, has reduced its workforce from 100 to 50 or 60 as a result of establishing a facility in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. “Losing people in Vernon is not anything we wanted to do but we were confronted with a contract that said, ‘If you take the contract you must have employees in the U.S.,’” said Sarah Kennedy, a senior vice-president with SQM Group. Meeting the wishes of the U.S. client could increase company revenues by 20 per cent. “By losing the contract, we could lose 50 per cent of our Lara Pow revenue,” said Lara Pow, chief operating officer, adding that going against the client could have had a significant impact on SQM’s overall ability to operate and maintain staff. SQM insists it will remain in Vernon and the Idaho facility will create opportunities for the company headquarters here. “We will be hiring in the management and support side,” said Kennedy. “There will be growth and we are already advertising for some of those positions.” A call centre will also remain in Vernon and the focus will be Canadian clients. Kennedy believes there could eventually be a need for more operators. “There is always that hope we are driving the market to bring in extra Canadian business,” she said. SQM Group established operations in Vernon 10 years ago and some of the laid-off staff have been there since then. “We have been quite generous on severance so they have time to look for the right fit,” said Kennedy, adding that information has been provided on opportunities for retraining and job placement. Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development officer, knew SQM was facing pressure from a U.S. client. “It’s frustrating because they are a good employer in Vernon but the good news is they will continue to have a local presence,” he said.

Heartwarming night surpasses goal T richard rolke
Morning Star Staff
here were some warm hearts during the Coldest Night of the Year. About 300 people raised $31,000 during the inaugural fundraising walk for the Upper Room Mission Saturday. “It was just awesome,” said Lisa Froom, executive director. “We did better than expected. We are super pumped and can’t wait for next year.” The event included both a five-kilometre and a 10-kilometre walk through the streets of Vernon. “They (participants) were so excited and they really connected with each other,” said Froom. Once the walk was over, participants enjoyed chili provided by the Lions Club. The event’s original goal was to raise $25,000 towards a new sprinkler system for the mission. “The work has to be done by May,” said Froom, adding that a sprinkler system has been mandated by the city. “We have to do this to continue operating and to be open for our clients.” The cost of the sprinkler system ranges from $60,000 to $100,000 and other funding sources are being sought. A $3,500 grant was just received from Home Depot. Donations for Coldest Night of the Year can be made until March 15 at coldestnightoftheyear.org or by calling 250-549-1231.

Keep walking.” Quiring says there has also been a problem with bylaw officers ticketing vehicles related to a renovation project even though the business has reserved a parking spot and there is a hood over the meter. “I’ve had lots of complaints,” he said. Quiring’s comments about officers waiting for meters to expire were challenged by
Clint Kanester, bylaw enforcement manager. “Staff is directed not to do that. If the meter is counting down, they keep walking,” he said. Kanester says there may be a perception of officers hanging around when they are actually ensuring a vehicle’s insurance is valid or they hope a resident will come out and feed the meter. “We can write enough tickets by walk-
ing without standing around and waiting (for meters to expire),” he said. In terms of businesses reserving a parking spot, Kanester says a vehicle must display a special permit to notify officers it is allowed to be there. Coun.

Vernon politicians will not respond to public demands to reverse a parking fee hike. Council received a 150-name petition Monday calling for parking rates not to be increased from 50 cents to $1 an hour. But council didn’t discuss the matter. “There was no new information provided,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky when asked why council didn’t act on the petition. “When we considered the proposal during the budget deliberations, we considered all of the information at the time and we made a decision. If it was a thoughtful decision, it shouldn’t be influenced by a petition.” Coun. Juliette Cunningham also didn’t believe there was a need to reopen the matter. “There was a lot of discussion during the budget process,” she said. “If people had been
at the budget meeting, they would have seen how we agonized over that issue.” The city states the parking fee increase will provide
much-needed revenue, but a number of merchants, including the Downtown V e r n o n Association, are concerned higher rates will drive cus-

tomers away. The 150-name petition was organized by Jeff Wuolle, owner of the Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium. “Customers have spoken. You need to listen to the people,” said Wuolle in a note to council.

According to Kanester, some of the worst offenders are the people the city is trying to support. “There are individuals on a list with 60 tickets in a two-year period and they are all business owners,” he said. “They have other parking available to them.”

For city-owned parking lots, the user fee will increase from $35 a month and $21.40 per month (in some cases) to $60 a month, with hourly and day rates increasing where the lot allows this use. Parkade parking will jump from $55 to $65 a month except for roof-top parking which goes from $25 to $35 a month. “The roof is less expensive as it is not covered parking and requires a liability waiver to be signed,” said Kanester.

and breach of bail conditions. The male driver does not face any charges. A week ago, Vernon RCMP reported two other women were arrested in the vicinity of a Vernon apartment building where a large quantity of cocaine was found. One of the suspects in that case was arrested a third time for cocaine possession. “It is known we have drugs within our community, has been for a number of years, we have a variety of drugs. Cocaine is not new,” said Molendyk. “It’s a priority for this detachment in dealing with the drug issues we have in our community. It’s an ongoing challenge for us to continue to eliminate the people that are selling within our community.” Molendyk could not place a street value on the cocaine seized in the Feb. 22 bust.

It’s tax season. It’s also a time culprits are trying to perpetrate a scam involving the Canada Revenue Agency and tax returns. Two alert Vernon residents informed the Vernon RCMP detachment of the would-be scam, where people receive an authentic-looking e-mail supposedly from the Canada Revenue Agency informing them they are eligible for a tax return, but need to click onto a website to provide banking information. “Our office has received several calls on it,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Here is another example of individuals attempting to get money from honest residents of our community.” The e-mail states to the recipient that “after the last calculation of your fiscal activity, we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of CAD 274.00” “It wasn’t a lot of money but it was enough to tweak the recipient’s interest,” said Molendyk, adding both residents did not fall for the scam. There are a couple of clues on the

realistic e-mail to inform you it’s not legitimate. The tax credit officer’s name is spelled Barbara HC)bert, and there is poor grammar in the final paragraph: “A refund can be delayed a variety of reason...” “Nine times out of 10, when you read these, if you really read the wording, you’ll see grammar and punctuation mistakes quite often,” said Molendyk. “These appear to be translated by a person where English is not likely their first language.” The e-mail can not be forwarded as well. Molendyk said the local detachment is advising residents that this scheme, along with many other scams, is out there with criminals trying to get a person’s bank number or social insurance number.

Art gala a huge success Morning Star Staff
An exquisite evening of art, wine and food culminated into some significant support for the community’s developmentally challenged. The fifth annual Art and Wine Gala at Eclectic Med Saturday raised $62,625 for the North Okanagan Community Life Society. “This is not possible without the hard work of our committee: Pippa Shaw, Colin Hamilton, Sharon Kenney, Maggie Voisey, Dawn and Andrew Fradley,” said Garry Molitwenik, NOCLS executive director. Supporters sipped on local wines, paired with each of the five courses served and also bid significant support towards the cause through the art, wine and gift basket auction. “The artists’ generosity allows us the opportunity to experience their expressions and talents in the comfort of our homes, yet being receptive towards NOCLS,” said Molitwenik. Shaw has routinely been a top supporter of the cause, and was once again recognized as the top fundraiser – collecting $10,340 for NOCLS. All the funds raised, prior to and at the event, assist the society in connecting clients to the community through their care and development.

Final nod given to 2013 financial plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The final step for the City of Vernon is sending out tax notices. Council adopted the 2013 budget Monday, including a 3.9 per cent tax increase. “We had a lot of different issues to deal with,” said Coun. Catherine Lord of the process leading to adoption. Through the financial plan, there were some service reductions while user fees Bob Spiers have climbed. Of the overall tax increase, 1.9 per cent is designated for Vernon’s future infrastructure needs. Lone opposition to the budget came from Coun. Bob Spiers. Spiers says the tax increase is too high and infra-
structure money is going to what he calls “cosmetic projects” such as the Polson Greenway on 29th Street. “I’m tired of banging my head against the wall,” he said of raising concerns that don’t get support from his colleagues. The budget’s impact on an average home is an additional $45 in taxes.

Where’s the beef?
t was truly much ado about nothing. Norm Letnick, agriculture minister, rolled into Vernon last week to unveil his much-anticipated response to complaints that provincial meat regulations were crippling North Okanagan farmers and the local economy. “I heard clearly there is a desire to do more farm-gate,” said Letnick. However, the issuance of five class E licenses in a pilot project left many at the press conference feeling like their concerns had fallen on deaf ears. “In a region the size of ours, how will five have an impact?” said Christine Fraser, a Spallumcheen councillor. Just to give you a sense of what the pilot project means, five licenses translate into about 50 cows a year being butchered (10,000 pounds per farm). Richard Rolke “This is an absolutely disgraceful return for the amount of energy and resources that have been expended in trying to save the local, community scale meat producers, of whom very few are left,” said Andrea Gunner, a Spallumcheen farmer and agricultural economist. The bottom line is that 295 farmers in the North Okanagan will continue to struggle and have no viable alternative to have their meat processed. It also means there will be pent-up demand from consumers who want to know where their food comes from. The Ministry of Agriculture insists a twoyear pilot program is necessary to prove that farm-based meat processing is safe and public health is not put at risk. But for those in the know, that argument has more holes than Swiss cheese.

“There’s no valid evidence that community scale agriculture has ever been an issue. The meat regulations undermined a system that worked,” said Buffy Baumbrough, the author of a local food systems plan. Unlike headlines dominated by meat scares at large factories, there have been no significant cases linking poor health to animals slaughtered on a farm. In fact, some will make the argument that the local farmer, or the individual they hire, takes great care with slaughtering because they are eating the meat themselves and they are selling it to family, friends and neighbours. Contaminated meat doesn’t go over well at reunions. Baumbrough also likes to point out that the province permits class E licenses, or uninspected meat sales, in other parts of B.C., so if they aren’t a health risk there, why would they be a threat in the North Okanagan? It appears that the government’s decisions are more governed by a belief that farm-gate activities will undermine local abattoirs and the significant financial investment they have made in equipment. However, many of the abattoirs are so busy that they can’t handle the needs of the small guy who may just have a few chickens. Also, the fact that the number of local producers has gone from 1,200 to 300 since the meat processing rules started in 2007 means farmers aren’t utilizing the abattoirs for a variety of reasons. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, is convinced the two-year pilot program will ultimately lead to more E licenses being handed out. But one has to wonder how many farmers can hang on that long? I began this column referencing Shakespeare. But for farmers and residents reviewing the government’s actions, they may want to quote Clara Peller’s “Where’s the beef?”
There’s no question that City of Vernon employees were in a difficult situation Monday. Calls for information around bylaw enforcement, and particularly parking, had surfaced months ago, so when staff made a presentation, the directive of council — the boss — was simply being followed. However, Councillors Catherine Lord and Bob Spiers objected to the presentation and took the rare step of actually opposing the meeting agenda. “We are in the middle of a core services review and it (staff report) could be seen as influencing the process,” said Lord. And that is fair comment as council members have gone to great length to ensure they aren’t involved in the review and that the scrutiny of city operations is independent. The only intent of the staff report Monday was to address concerns councillors had. But in doing so, the perception may arise that the politicians have been influenced to take a specific direction when they must make a final decision on the outcome of the core services review. Monday’s presentation may also, inadvertently, create divisions within city hall as other departments have not been able to detail their activities prior to council determining the future of the overall organization. In order to maintain the integrity of the core service review — or at least the perception that there has been no internal or external influence — chief administrative officer Will Pearce should have held off on the bylaw enforcement presentation until April when the review is done. After all, it took a few months for staff to appear before council. As it is now, there may be some people within the community and city hall wondering if the review has been compromised.

Let's help bring back the Games
notice that full-colour ads promoting the B.C. Seniors Games are starting to appear in this newspaper. It is expected 3,500 participants, aged 55-plus, will make their way to Kamloops August 20 to 24. They’ll be competing in a choice of 25 events and pumping an estimated $2 million into the local economy. In 1988, Vernon hosted the first B.C. Seniors Games, which featured 650 participants in a much smaller list of events. Now, the Games offer a mix of physically challenging sports (such as slo-pitch, soccer, swimming, tennis, and track and field) and games (such as bridge, cribbage, whist, and carpet, lawn and five-pin bowling). I commend the Royal Canadian Legion for being a major sponsor of the Games for many years, and Black Press adding its support to the Games in recent years. Several places have hosted the Games more than once.
police cuts The people of Vernon elected a mayor and council to govern our city in a fiscally responsible manner. The RCMP work for the people of Vernon. Supt. Reg Burgess needs to work within the budget the mayor and council give him. Instead of lobbying for a bigger budget by telling the media about all of the reductions in services he is going to make, perhaps Burgess should be reviewing his policing practices. Perhaps he should be concentrating on finding more cost-effective ways of using his resources. Perhaps he should be concentrating on finding new innovative ways to improve the morale and proficiency of his workforce. Perhaps Burgess should leave politics to the politicians. Ordinary citizens can always help by demonstrating respect and appreciation for the thankless job individual officers do on a daily basis. We may not look forward to meeting a member of the police when we have done something illegal, but we are grateful to see one when we need help. lloyd Atkins tAx hike opposed Well, here we go again, it seems. At first it was 1.8 per cent, now it is 3.95 per cent. Mr. Mayor and council, please make your mind up and listen to the public. We do not want any tax increase. The assessed value of our property
After 25 years, it would be great if Vernon brought the Games back. Our local seniors, along with the rest of our community, would have the opportunity to welcome and compete with seniors from throughout the province. Unfortunately, Vernon is unable to host the Games because of a requirement that we have a regulation-sized track and field facility. Luckily, we have a tremendous opportunity to solve this road block. On April 6, we can vote yes in a referendum to approve a new community sports field and athletics facility. I’ll gladly pay my estimated $11.20 a year for this initiative. The benefits to the community in encouraging more fitness and health to all ages are worth it. I definitely back the track. bill Glover
decreased by $20,000 but the mayor says my taxes will increase by $53. That's bad accounting. Because the value dropped, the taxes should decrease. So, I will actually have an increase of around $80 to 100. This is like the old shell game. They want to increase all parking fees and say that they will get more money, but how? The number of vehicles using the parking will decrease and then what charge for the recreation area, and then what next, the performing arts or maybe the multiplex? I would not put it past them. Then they want us to build a sports complex for more yearly increase in your property taxes. When will this ever end? When the city is bankrupt and has no more residents? I ask the mayor to please tell us what the monetary increase for inside and outside union members will be this year, and how much the benefits will cost us extra this year, and the same for non-union members. My wife will get .01 this year, maybe. Believe me, if you take the time to look closely at the budget you will see how our money is being misused. Business are closing in this town. Take a look at all of the vacant buildings and stores and think about all of the jobs lost and the council still believes that things are not that bad. Well, there are house prices dropping, full-time jobs disappearing and young families and children leaving. The demographics of Vernon are not what the mayor and council want us to

believe. We are an aging city and it does not show any signs of slowing down. Garry haas bike lAnes A few years ago, the bike lanes were introduced, or should I say, thrust upon us who live there 27th Street, taking away our parking. As of today, the riders are still using the sidewalks, as their preferred lane. I ask myself why? Could it be, that the bike lanes are so full of sand and dirt from the winter snow and sand application that they are unsafe? I guess to save a few bucks, just let the rain take all of this into the sewers and bung them up. To me, this is an example of penny wise, pound foolish. I understand the policy is to save a buck on the road cleaning, so if you're not going to, or if the city doesn't want to clean the bike lane, to make it safe to use, can we use it for parking again? James Robert todd hospitAl beds Concerning the proposed opening of the two top floors of the Polson Tower at the hospital. It was reported that money will be saved by using beds from the wards in the older part of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Only 14 new beds need to be purchased. That is quite a saving. I am sure the minister is pleased with herself on that.
So what is happening to the wards in the old part now they don’t have beds? So for $29 million, we have 14 extra beds. That is $2 million a bed. They must be nice beds. This is how the Liberals spend our money, $400 million-plus for a sports stadium roof, $2 million for a bed. It's about time for a change. To what, the NDP? From the pot into the fire. Help.

Memories still haunt in this heartening play Where the Blood Mixes journeys back to a dark period of Canadian history KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
When Nlaka’pamux (Thompson) First Nation and Lytton playwright Kevin Loring set out to pen what would be his Governor General award winning play, Where the Blood Mixes, the financial compensation and apology to those abused in residential schools had been forthcoming. Canada’s darkest secret was finally being unleashed to those who had no idea of the horrific abuses that took place years before. Those forced into residential schools were from across this nation and close to home. For the Syilx (Okanagan Nation), the B.C. residential school system was a harsh reality. According to the Okanagan First Peoples’ website, the majority of Syilx children were rounded up and sent to the Kamloops Indian Residential School or to St. Eugene Mission in Cranbrook, where many reportedly succumbed to the physical and emotional abuse, bringing the scars home with them. While the residential schools were closed years ago, their legacy has endured through alcoholism, suicide and broken families. And for the survivors, the memories still haunt.
BARBARA ZIMONICK
Craig Lauzon (left, of Royal Canadian Air Farce fame) and Lorne Cardinal (Corner Gas) arm wrestle in the comedy/ drama Where the Blood Mixes at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, March 5. Indeed, Loring’s play has resonated with those both of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal descent since it was premiered at Toronto’s Luminato Festival in 2008. “It’s beautiful, it’s funny and it’s poetic,” said Bradley Moss, who directed Where the Blood Mixes for Kamloops’ Western Canada Theatre last year and has once again taken the helm to bring the play to theatres across B.C.
It arrives in Vernon on Tuesday, March 5. “We don’t talk directly about the residential schools, but that era caused this kind of pain for people. It’s that repercussion that we’re working through in this play,” added Moss. Where the Blood Mixes follows drinking buddies Floyd (played here by Lorne Cardinal of Corner Gas fame) and Mooch (Craig
Lauzon of the Royal Canadian Air Farce), who wile away their time in the local watering hole when not fishing in the waters of Kumsheen (the Great Forks), where the Thompson and Fraser Rivers meet. Both victims of residential schools, they are forced to confront their pasts when Floyd’s daughter, Christine, whom he has been estranged from for 20 years,
finds her father in a search to discover her roots. Her arrival forces Floyd and Mooch to confront their inner demons, and ultimately begin the healing process. What has resonated with audiences is the way the story is told, in a brutally honest and irreverently funny fashion, said Moss. “Believe it or not, it’s super funny. Floyd and Mooch are hilarious together. They just find the humour out of every little thing in life, which is really the point of life, to appreciate what you have. There’s a real joy in that.” The production, which also includes Robert Benz as George, the bartender, Sera-Lys McArthur as the daughter, Christine, and Michaela Washburn as June, Mooch’s wife, is making only one appearance in Vernon. Moss, for one, hopes the community will not shy away from seeing a part of our history through Loring’s eyes. “I think the sense of someone who’s searching for their purpose or trying to find their roots is universal,” said Moss. “It’s beautiful that way. It’s hope, it’s a chance, and that’s all that anybody can really ask for.” Where the Blood Mixes is part of the theatre series at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. It takes the stage on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40/adult, $37/ senior $35/student at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, ticketseller.ca. (The play contains mature subject matter and coarse language.)
Symphony springs into March with oboist Roger Cole
Morning Star Staff
This weekend the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra blows a warm wind into the Performing Arts Centre with its concert Spring Breezes. The OSO is welcoming the Vancouver Symphony’s principal oboist Roger Cole who will perform Richard Strauss’ Oboe Concerto, a piece that opens with warmth, charm and beauty, moving into sweet and lyrical tempo and closes with a bright witty finale, said the
OSO’s maestra Rosemary Thomson. “Those attending will hear classical and familiar pieces as well as music that may be new to them,” added OSO general manager Scott Wilson. Cole has been principal oboist of the Vancouver Symphony and the CBC Radio Orchestra since 1976. He performs regularly in solo and chamber music recitals and has appeared as soloist with the VSO and the CBC Vancouver Orchestra. He has recorded a CD
for CBC records entitled The Expressive Oboe. The other three musical pieces the OSO will perform in this concert represent romantic melodies, warm sunshine days and innocence, said Thomson. Mozart’s Serenade for Wind Octet in C Minor is an extraordinary, carefully crafted piece, cast in the composers favoured key for intense, dramatic works, while Pastorale d’été, written by Swiss composer Arthur Honegger, is described as embracing the summer dawn

Fostering a love of small towns Asparagus sprouts in Armstrong with Norm Foster’s Ned Durango Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
It’s no secret that community theatres tend to love the plays of scribe Norm Foster. His work has a way of reaching out and relating to those living in both rural and small-town Canada, which is ironic as Foster grew up in the busy suburb of Newmarket just outside of Toronto. However, with an average of 150 of his plays produced on an annual basis, Foster is one of the most produced playwrights in the country. So it’s no wonder that Armstrong’s Asparagus Community Theatre is one of the many community (volunteer-run) theatres across Canada that regularly produces his plays. Asparagus is about to stage one of Foster’s recent works, Ned Durango Comes to Big Oak, and director Dai Scott says as soon as she read the script, she was wrapped up in a warm, familiar feeling. “His work is so much fun for a director to cast. People want to produce his plays,” she said. “His work is not only fun to do, but it still makes you think. When talking about relationships, we get a lot of comments on how there are many layers to them.” Scott should know. Not only has she directed Foster’s Maggie’s Getting Married, coincidently the first play she ever directed for Asparagus, she also helmed Ethan Claymore. And she really related to the Ned Durango script because of its premise. “I thought ‘Oh my God, this could be Armstrong,’” said Scott about Big Oak. “It’s

However, instead of a Peach Festival, or paying ode to the asparagus, which grows abundantly in Armstrong, Big Oak’s Tomato Festival is coming up and a potential developer plans to visit the town on the same May long weekend as the event. The mayor, Catherine Wilson (played by Asparagus member Laurisa DeFehr), comes up with a plan along with some of the town’s citizens to impress the developer. “She’s cracking the whip and likes to be in control. She makes sure things are going her way,” said Scott.
Enter Ned Durango (Asparagus vet Kim Sinclair), an old TV cowboy legend whom the town hires to marshal their parade in hopes of drawing a large crowd and to impress the developer. “Let’s just say that plans get made and plans get destroyed,” said Scott.“Everybody involved has a personal reason for doing what they are doing. There’s lots of side stories along with the main plot.” With a simple set design to resemble a retro-’80s style, most of the action takes place at the town’s café owned by Tom (Rory White in his first nonmusical role at Asparagus). “It could be set in any time, although it does take place in one of the eastern provinces as Maine is mentioned,” said Scott. One of the side stories revolves around sidekick, Orson Hubble (Mark Trussell, new to Asparagus), who is meeting his daughter, Kay ( Shaleen Toney),

Faithful await word from Rome cara brady
Morning Star Staff
Catholics in Vernon were surprised when Pope Benedict XVI announced that he is renouncing his position and now their prayers are for him and those who will elect his successor, the spiritual leader for more than one billion Catholics around the world. “This renunciation, or resignation, as some people call it, is highly unusual. It hasn’t happened for 600 years since Pope Gregory XII when there was a schism between him, a validly elected Pope, and others who supported another leader. He stepped down to allow for a new election,” said Father Dale Normandeau, pastor of St. James and Our Lady of the Valley churches, who is pleased to know Archbishop Thomas Collins, a Canadian who could possibly be elected to the highest office in the Catholic Church. “There is provision made in church law for a pope to resign of his own free will. He can choose to do what he feels is ultimately for the good of the church.” Pope Benedict XVI, who is 85, will officially renounce the Papacy on Thursday. “The reason he has given is that his physical health and energies have declined and he doesn’t feel he can give the service to the church that it deserves. I think another reason is that the nature of the Papacy has really changed in the past 50 years. Now part of the Papal ministry is to travel extensively and visit various parts of the world,” said Normandeau, noting that the Pope is more than just a spiritual leader. He is also leader of a temporal realm, Vatican City, an independent entity that is represented at the United Nations and sends ambassadors to other countries. Once the Pope has officially resigned, Thursday at 8 p.m. Rome time, he will go to Castle Gondolfo, the summer residence outside Rome to rest. Later, he will live in a monastery on the Vatican grounds. “He will likely spend the rest of his life there, although he can come and go as he pleases and may want to spend time with his brother, who is also a priest. He will likely spend his time in contemplation, study and prayer and may write more books. We hear that he intends to keep a low profile,” said Normandeau. The College of Cardinals, also called the Conclave, of more than 100 representatives from around the world, will meet at the Vatican about the middle of March to choose a successor. They stay secluded until they elect a new Pope from among their number. By tradition, if they have not chosen a successor, they burn wet straw which produces black smoke and lets onlookers know the voting is continuing. When a new Pope is chosen, dry straw is burned to produce white smoke and the name of the new Pope is announced. “I think we will have a new Pope by Easter. His first public function will prob-

Father Dale Normandeau, pastor of St. James Church and Our Lady of the Valley Church, invites people to come to St. James for an overview of how the successor to Pope Benedict XVI will be chosen and a special mass for him and the conclave of Cardinals from around the world, which will meet in March. ably be officiating at Easter Services,” said Normandeau. “This is especially interesting to me because this is the first time I have known someone who could be elected Pope.” Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, is a Canadian whose name is being suggested as a possible successor. Collins was Normandeau’s scripture and Biblical studies teacher at St. Peter’s Seminary in London, Ont.
“He has a great sense of humour. People would tease him about his name but he was fine with it. He was a very good teacher who had a great way of explaining complex ideas and he had great empathy with the students. He was a popular teach-
er. He would pull things out of popular culture to help us understand concepts.” Normandeau remembers one time when Collins used a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark where a character made a wrong choice and was annihilated by the enemy to the comment, ‘He chose badly.’ “It was an illustration about making bad choices and we remembered it. He was a great communicator and extremely fair minded. He appeared on a Canadian Catholic station called Salt and Light with scripture readings and commentary.” Normandeau said his parishioners were shocked at the Pope’s renunciation but most of them feel he has done the right thing and they want to express their gratitude to him. While he and many of his parishioners are privately rooting for Archbishop Collins, they are reassured that the College of Cardinals will make the right decision. “This is not a time of anxiety. I am sure God will provide us with another leader for the universal church. There is continuity. The next Pope will be number 277 in the succession from St. Peter.” There will be a mass at St. James Church at 10 a.m. Thursday to coincide with the services in Rome marking the official renunciation of Pope Benedict XVI.
in a way that supports your personal growth and your community, please join us,” said Michael Van Ziffle, vice-president of public relations “We provide a fun and supportive environment for speech-
crafting and assuming leadership roles — we’ve been leading the Queen Silver Star Excellence program since the ‘70s.” The open house takes place Thursday at the Holiday Inn Express in Vernon at 7 p.m.
“I think we will have a new Pope by Easter. His first public function will probably be officiating at Easter services.” — Father Dale Normandeau

Celebrating World Day of Prayer 170 countries being involved and thousands of prayer services being held throughout the world, it is pretty amazing and powerful. On this special day, people from hugely diverse backgrounds will gather together to pray and have fellowship as people of God. We in Canada have the freedom to gather to pray, which we so often take for granted. In many countries, people will be meeting secretly to observe WDOP.
Please join us on Friday, and bring friends! Those who are not able to attend are encouraged to read Matthew 25 and to pray for the peoples of France and for world unity and peace. This year’s service takes place Friday at 1:30 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 5151 Alain Rd. (off Silver Star Road, first left past Stussi Sports). For more information, call Debbie at 250-545-5913. Debbie Breitkreutz is coordinator for Vernon’s WDOP service this year.

People in 170 countries will gather on Friday for World Day of Prayer (WDOP). This year’s service has been prepared by the women of France, and we will be praying under the theme, “I was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me” (from Matthew 25). Our experiences of being a stranger and then being welcomed empower us to build connections and create community where all are welcomed. The local organizing committee is comprised of women from seven churches: St. James Catholic, Peace Lutheran, Trinity United, Knox Presbyterian, Our Lady of the Valley Catholic, All Saints’ Anglican and St. John’s Lutheran Churches. The service is written by women for all of us. When we gather for the service, everyone is asked to pray in solidarity with the people
of France, a land filled with multi-cultural complexities. Each year, the service brings with it a feeling of curiosity. What will we learn about the theme and the focus country? What will challenge, inspire and encourage us? The first WDOP, sponsored by the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada, took place in 1922. This year it will be celebrated in more than 2,000 communities across Canada. When you think of

ell here we are nearing the end of February and all I can think of is being on a lovely Hawaiian island somewhere enjoying the sunshine, warm breezes, and many refreshing pools. Perhaps I’d even indulge in one of their famous fish tacos for lunch. With that in mind I went looking for and found a recipe for fish tacos that is very close to those eaten in Hawaii. Since I want to include everything that makes these tacos so special, I’ve also included the vinaigrette, avocado cream and coleslaw recipes to finish off this dish. Hawaiian Style Fish Tacos 4 (four oz. each) Tilapia fillets cathi Litzenberger 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Kosher salt and black pepper or lemon pepper Citrus Vinaigrette: Juice of 1 orange Juice of 1 lime ½ bunch of cilantro, chopped ½ tsp. to 1 tsp. hot sauce 1 tbsp. honey 1 tsp.

A professional engineer warns that global warming could have serious ramifications. John Streicker, a Yukon resident and former federal Green Party president, recently spoke in Vernon about climate change. “Within five years, the Arctic Ocean is expected to be seasonally ice free. Santa will have to move out,” he said. “When there is no sea ice to reflect the sun’s light and heat, 90 per cent of it is absorbed through the darkened surface and transformed into heat. This contributes to the north warming at twice the world average. It will accelerate warming around the globe. Exposing a whole new ocean will significantly alter weather and climate patterns, around the world.” Beyond warming, Streicker says the most significant problem is the rate of change. “Over the geologic history of the earth, we know that mass extinctions occurred when there is rapid climate change. Species of crops and critters don’t have time to adapt,” he said. According to Streicker, there are three factors influencing today’s climate change. “CO2 and methane from burning fossil fuels; methane released as Arctic permafrost melts, and dark surfaces uncovered as ice and snow disappear,” he said. “The second two natural phenomena are unstoppable if the first, man-made condition is not controlled. Methane is 20 times more powerful than C02 as a greenhouse gas. Feedbacks can accelerate warming and are difficult to manage.” Streicker says society must take action just as it did with acid rain and ozone depletion. “Canada was a leader then. We need to price C02 into the cost of fossil fuel. Waste has a price,” he said.

ACCORDING TO A RECENT Insights West6S Marketing study on social media behaviors and attitudes of 504 online BC adults, 48% are ”very concerned” about cyber-bullying in society overall, and a further 41% are “somewhat concerned.” Of the 18% of adults in BC with teens in the home, an alarming 23% of parents say their teens have been victims of cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is not a problem exclusive to the teen world, however, as 8% of adults themselves claim to have experienced it - and incidence increases to 12% among those whom we have classified as “heavy” social media users (those who use Facebook or Twitter at least once a day). Those in the 18-34 year old category are also substantially more likely to report being cyber-bullied (15%) than those in other age groups (7% for 35-54 year olds, and 4% among 55+). More than one in three (38%) either strongly support (17%) or somewhat support (21%) the privatization of liquor distribution in BC. However, a further 40% also either strongly oppose (24%) or somewhat oppose (16%) the change. Almost one in four (23%) are unsure on their position towards this issue. Although the incidence of cyber-bullying has hit alarming numbers of 23%, it still pales in comparison to the fact that the majority (58%) of parents say their teens have been victims of “traditional” bullying. Results of the poll show that BC residents believe a collective effort from individuals, educators, law enforcement and government should play a role in countering cyber-bullying. The vast majority of adults believe that it is parents who should be taking a primary role in countering cyber-bullying, and 60%

STARTED IN
SEPTEMBER 2007 when two teens at a
Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student. David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his first day of school. They decided they should do something about it and bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.” It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfitted with the discount shirts, but even better, hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe. The bullies were reportedly never heard from again. This year, Feb. 27 is Pink Shirt Day in BC and other parts of Canada, an annual anti-bullying event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign. The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the

of adults believe teens should take on a primary role an attitude that is shared among both parents of teens and non-parents. Nearly half of BC residents (48%) feel that individuals should take the primary role. A smaller number of adults feel that the public school system (40%), police (32%), and media (30%) should take a primary role, but a large minority believe these organizations should play secondary roles (35%, 35%, and 27%, respectively). The relatively new social phenomenon of cyberbullying is driven by the relatively large number of British Columbians engaged in social media activities. Currently, 46% of adults use Facebook on a daily basis, a figure that increases to 64% among 18-34 year olds, and 50% of 35-44 year olds (daily Facebook use is reported by 29% of the 55+ age group). Daily Facebook use is also disproportionately higher among BC adults with teens living in the household (58%) vs. those without teens (43%). On average, 11% of British Columbians use Facebook weekly, 11% monthly, and 27% use it less often than that (about 5% don’t know). Women continue to dominate the Facebook space, with 53% being daily users, vs. 38% of men. Daily usage of Twitter is currently 16% on average — but dramatically higher among the 18-34 year old group (37%), dropping off to 15% among 35-54 year olds, and only 4% among 55+. Other social media platforms (such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr, etc.) have increased to the point where 10% of the current population report daily usage.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and London Drugs, where people can buy the official pink shirts for 2013. “Awareness of what bullying is and understanding that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell. “It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to everyone, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.” According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study published in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying. It is important to recognize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell. “By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commitment, to not let bullying happen,” she says.
Wednesday, February 27, 2013 - The Morning Star A21 Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is secondary to raising awareness about bullying and getting people involved.

Some possible signs include: • Changes in behavior: increased use of alcohol or other drugs; increased or decreased sleeping or eating; decreased self-care • Hopelessness: a negative outlook with no positive future • Changes in mood: crying easily; depressed; frequently agitated/anxious • Warnings: saying “Life isn’t worth it” or “Things would be better if I were gone; jokes, poems or art about suicide • Preparations for death: saying goodbye; making a will; giving away prized possessions; talking about going away • Impulsiveness: actions without thoughts of risks or consequences; outbursts or aggression
• Previous attempts: recent intentional selfharm or suicide attempts. If you recognize any of these signs in someone or are concerned, it is important to know that talking can help. ✔ Reach out and let the person know you care ✔ Ask directly “Are you considering suicide?” ✔ Be a supportive listener and accept their feelings, give them space to talk ✔ Offer help. Find out who they can talk to - a relative, counselor, teacher, clergy member, doctor or crisis centre. Never promise to keep a suicide plan secret. And remember that 1800SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) is available to anyone, anywhere, any time. ✔ Take them to help. Take them to a hospital, mental health clinic or suicide prevention conselor if they cannot assure their own safety. ✔ Self-care. Once the person at risk is safe, do not underestimate your own need for support. Talk with someone who will listen; if you do not want to talk to anyone you know, you can call the crisis line for yourself. If you ro someone you care about needs support relating to bullying, depression, suicide or any other concern, please remember that the staff and volunteers of the Crisis Lines of BC are here for you.

Given Friday’s setback, the Vernon coaching staff was concerned by how the team would respond Saturday. They watched the Snakes get right to work in the first period, out-hustling the Rivermen (22-23-1-5) to earn a 2-0 lead at the break on goals by captain Brett Corkey and Craig Martin. “That’s a tough loss to the team we’re chasing,” said assistant coach Dave Model RM3H3DES Robinson. “We were pleasantly surprised at how we came out. “But we let our foot off the gas and put to waste the first period. We had those mental lapses that seemFG4A5CK to have killed us all year. You take your foot off the gas for two minutes and it’s in the back of the net.”

The VSS Panthers will open the B.C. Senior AA Girls Basketball Championships next Wednesday in Kamloops against the Caledonia Kermodes of Terrace. The No. 2-ranked Panthers, co-coached by Lonny Mazaruk and Bobby Mitchell, won their second straight Okanagan Valley title by stuffing the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops 64-42 Saturday at George Elliot Secondary in Lake Country. Tournament MVP Quinsy Leier recorded 14 points and seven rebounds for VSS, while Mary Rice flushed 13 points and Karley Fugel drained a dozen points and added 10 rebounds and five blocks. Rice and Fugel were chosen all-stars. Megan Prentice supplied six points. “We got out to a great start leading 37-12 at the half,” said Mitchell. “We knew Sa-Hali would come back fighting so we talked about matching that in the second half and we were able to do that. “As coaches, we are very proud of our team for the Quinsy Leier work they put in. The girls played hard and really took control of the game. We are all happy and excited but we now know it’s time to prepare for Game 1 at provincials and go from there.” The Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey go into the B.C. playdowns as No. 1. The Kalamalka Lakers are seeded No. 14 after grounding the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton 68-40 for third place. The Lakers battle third-ranked St. Thomas More Knights of Burnaby in their provincial opener. All-star Jordan Korol rung up 25 points for the Lakers, while Paige Ralston flushed 18 and Ann Stewart added 15. “The team was inspired in the final,” said Laker coach Reni Dolcetti. “Their motivation was to secure a third-place finish and a trip to provincials by winning this game.” Kal earlier Saturday held off the Fulton Maroons 58-48. Korol sank 14 points, while Stewart had 13 and Kaelyn Parmalee added 10. Danielle Olson of Fulton was an honourable mention all-star. The Maroons, who only had seven players due to injury and illness, earlier defeated Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops 52-41 after falling 71-69 to the Mustangs.

Rush slowed in TORL championship Morning Star Staff
Kelowna toppled the Vernon Cornerstone Dental Tween A Rush 3-1 in the TORL (Thompson Okanagan Ringette League) Cup final Sunday morning at Priest Valley Arena. These two teams have battled hard all season with the Rush winning all but once. Kelowna went in front at seven minutes and added another goal midway through the second. Vernon countered when Alex Drury scored from Kendra Ostafie and Shelby Conners with five minutes left to go. A too many players on the ice penalty left Vernon short with just 2:30 left, and Kelowna added an insurance tally. Vernon still qualifies for the B.C. playdowns this weekend in Langley as the TORL wildcard. Vernon is the defending champion. In Bunny action, the Vernon Blue Lightning and the Black Panthers skated to a second tie in as many weeks, finishing 8-8 in front of a large home crowd. The Lightning snipers included Aimee Skinner, McKenna Jackson and Kennedy Jackson, each with a pair. Madison Edgar and Jordan Tung added singles. Scoring for the Cats were Hillary Quiring, with a hat trick, and Taylor Stewart, Lauren Cooke, Kate Mallow, Jasmine Horton and Peyton Glowa with singles. The Vernon DCT Chambers Voltage outlasted the Vernon Advertising Works Rebels 9-8 in Petite action Sunday at PV. Rylie Marchand (2+1), Grace Cornell (2+1), Emma Elders (2), Kalen Webster, Jaden Scott and Bryn Taylor-Hawes handled the Voltage attack in front of Brooke Buller. Stellar hustle came from Giselle Torres, Carly Newman, Mackenzie Munroe, Emma Lochhead, Levi Knopf, Kenzie Koshure and Amy Demetrick. Alyssa Carter led the Rebels with 2+2,

Knights aiming for sweep Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Knights were one game away from an opening round sweep of the Kamloops Storm Tuesday night at McArthur Island Sports Centre. Heading into Game 4 of their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League best-of-seven series, the Knights had outscored the Storm 14-4, thanks in large part to Monday’s 6-0 win in Game 3 in Kamloops. North Okanagan iced Kamloops 5-3 in Game 2 Saturday at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “Not done yet, but it’s going well, ” said North Okanagan Mat Lambert rookie forward Mat Lambert, who finished with three assists for third star Monday. “We’re sticking to our systems. We’ve got one of the fastest teams in the league, which is a big advantage on Kamloops’ (Olympic size) rink.” Spearheading the Knights’ offence was Brett Hawrys, with a pair of man-advantage goals, singles coming from Matty Saharchuk, Mac Ferner, Morgan Johnston and Steve Hawes, with his first-ever KIJHL goal (in 17 games). Scoreless after one period, the Knights connected three times in the second and third frames. Ferner’s 3-0 goal came with 12 seconds in the middle period. “Both teams came out hard, but in the second
period we started sticking to the game-plan and finally found the back of the net,” said Lambert. “Once we got a couple we just kept finding the back of the net.” The Storm struggled with discipline (they racked up 44 penalty minutes in the third period alone), sending the Knights on 11 powerplays and giving up three goals. North Okanagan played shorthanded only three times. Lambert wasn’t expecting an easy game Tuesday night, saying: “Nobody wants to get swept. I’m sure they’ll come out hard. Nothing’s going to be given to us.” The Vernon product also said the Knights don’t plan on resting on their first-ever No. 1 seeding in the Doug Birks Division. “It’s great we did it, but nothing’s really accomplished; we’re all at the same place. We’ve got four playoff series to win.” Dustin Nikkel recorded 23 saves for his secondever post-season shutout. Wade Moyls had 36 saves for Kamloops. Saharchuk (2+2, second star) and defenceman David London (1+2, third star) had big nights in Game 2 Saturday. Derek Andrews netted a goal an assist for first star and Nikkel posted 31 saves. Zach Tjader, Daniel Buchanan and Stefan Wood responded for the Storm. If necessary, Game 5 would go Thursday night (7:30) at Nor-Val, with Games 6 and 7 alternating between Kamloops (Friday) and Armstrong (Saturday) respectively.
Miranda Chapple bagged two goals for the Renegades, who got singles from Jillian Pipke, Chealsea McNabb and Mason Christensen in front of Aleisha Smith. The Renagades dusted off Kelowna 8-4 Saturday with Mykayla Vanderzwan pulling the hat trick on feeds from Marika Munroe (1+2). McNabb (2) and Chapple (1+2) completed the Vernon attack. The Renegades got great defence from Natalie Ethier, Ellen Campbell, Christensen and Demi Williamson. Forward Addison Nerbus turned in a solid two-way showing. In Novice action, the Vernon Davidson Lawyers Orcas came out on the winning end of a two-game series against Kelowna. On Saturday, the Orcas stunned Kelowna 7-4 with Sierra Lochhead collecting the hat trick and Paige Neufeld adding a deuce. Chayse Krause and Daine Thoma added singles, while Rhys Taylor-Hawes and Brooklyn Young pitched in with an assist each in support of a sparkling Arianna Kositsin. The Orcas topped Kelowna 7-6 Sunday with Tye Krause pocketing 3+1 and singles going to Mackenzie Gilman, Arianna, Hillary Quiring and Sierra Lochhead in front of a rock-solid Amber Lowe. Chayse Krause helped out with an assist. Logan Thoma and Brooklyn O’Hara displayed great hustle. The Vernon Blue Dragons halted the Kelowna Hurricanes 10-4 in Novice play at PV Arena. Emma Roine was outstanding in net holding back the Hurricanes, while Kaila Summerfelt and Kristin Ho each supplied hat tricks. Brynn Korol collected 2+1 and singles went to Hannah McMorran and Taliya Yamaoka. Assists came from Miah Cohen and Shaila Austin.

Rivermen cap rally Continued from A24
Corkey went end-to-end, working a give-and-go with Michael Roberts before wiring his third of the season, post and in past netminder James Barr. A speedy breakout by TJ Dumonceaux led to Martin’s snipe. Getting the puck deep, Dumonceaux created havoc behind Langley’s net and connected with Martin (7th) in the final minute of the period. “I just saw the d-man standing still at the blueline and knew if I chipped it wide I could get around him,” said Dumonceaux, who admitted the team was still reeling from the loss to the ‘Backs. “It’s tough to get up for games like this after last night. I know a lot of us were ready for this, but a couple guys were off tonight.” Vernon looked sluggish in the second period, and the Rivermen capitalized. After Johnson netted the 2-1 goal, Matt Ustaski batted a rebound out of midair over netminder Austin Smith’s shoulder for the equalizer during a second-period man advantage. The Vipers pressed to retake the lead with a solid third-period effort, but Barr (32 saves) made a couple timely stops late to send it to OT. He came up with a game saver on
Logan Mick, who was all alone on his doorstep with five minutes left in regulation. Smith had 23 saves for the Snakes. Langley head coach Bobby Henderson was tossed for arguing with referee Nick Swaine for a slashing call on Ben Butcher midway through the third period. “It was a critical point of the game and I thought it was a soft call,” said Henderson. “I just wanted to keep him honest.” The Rivermen are rolling towards the postseason with 14 rookies, yet only four of their players are under six feet tall. Henderson has assembled a roster that will be a handful for most teams. The lineup is highlighted by BCHL scoring leader Mario Puskarich (38-42-80 in 51 games), who had two helpers against Vernon. Langley forward Evan Campbell is 15th on the scoring list with 16-3955 in 46 games. “We like to pay a physical brand, but we’ve got some guys that can scoot,” said Henderson. “We just try to have guys embrace their roles.” In other Interior action Saturday night, the Warriors grounded the Merritt Centennials 2-1, and the Trail Smoke Eaters outlasted the Penticton Vees 4-3 in OT.

The season is over for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s basketball team. For the second straight year, the WolfPack have bowed out in the opening round of the Canada West playoffs. The WolfPack fell 79-66 to the host University of Calgary Dinos Saturday before 734 fans at Jack Simpson Gym. The Dinos swept the best of three series and move on to the Canada West final four. “Clearly no one wants to have their season end on a loss, but I am very proud of the effort and commitment this team showed all season,” said WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves. The Pack trailed 21-18 after the first quarter and were behind 42-35 at the buzzer. TRU was led by outgoing senior Diane Schuetze (5th year, post, Vernon) with eight rebounds and 23 points. Tracy Kocs (5th year, forward, Coquitlam) had 10 rebounds and 11 points in her final CIS contest. The other TRU fifth year, Jen Ju (guard, Vancouver) racked up six points. Jorri Duxbury
(3rd year, guard, Salmon Arm) added 11 points and four rebounds for TRU Calgary was led by Jessica Franz with 21 points against her former team. Megan Schaufele had eight rebounds and 16 points while Tamara Jarrett and Ashley Hirons each contributed 10 points. Added Reeves: “I want to especially thank our seniors for their tremendous leadership and example they set all their years at TRU. “ The Dinos will play the Alberta Pandas Friday at 6 p.m. followed by the second Canada West women’s basketball semifinal between the Regina Cougars and the Fraser Valley Cascades. Meanwhile, defenceman Kelsey Halvorson of Armstrong and the UBC Thunderbirds toppled the host Regina Cougars 7-1 to win the CIS Canada West women’s ice hockey semifinal series 2-1. The T-Birds are ranked No. 9 in Canada and now meet Hayley Wickenheiser and the No. 2 Calgary Dinos in the Canada West finals, starting Friday in Alberta. Both teams are in the CIS final tournament, March 7-10, in Toronto.
Emma Miller canned 20 points against the Mustangs, while Meranda Silva had 13, Samantha Ferrier netted 12 and Olson had 11. The host Kelowna Christian Knights claimed the Valley senior AA boys crown with a 96-82 victory over the South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver. The Fulton Maroons went 1-2, brushing back the Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops 65-45 Saturday morning and then falling 71-68 to Maggie. Tye Kitzman dialed up 18 points in Fulton’s win, while Austin Richardson and Riley Beauchamp each added 14. Coach Dale Olson played his entire bench evenly versus the Mustangs, with Beauchamp and first-team all-star Mike Rouault each pocketing 16. The VSS Junior Panthers earned a B.C. berth, March 6-9, at Vancouver College, as the No. 2 Valley seed after losing 56-42 to host Valleyview. “We just ran out of gas,” said Cats’ head coach Glenn Garvie. “The score was tied at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but we were spent physically and emotionally.” John Garvie (105 points in three games) was named tournament MVP. The Cats surprised the Okanagan Mission Huskies 60-53 in the semifinals after dropping three games to the Huskies earlier this season. Garvie drained a jaw-dropping 48 points despite being double teamed for the majority of the game. The Panthers used stingy defence and stellar execution to beat the Huskies. “The other starters – Zac Kronbauer, Kyle Ryder, Ty Thomas and Spencer Shaw – were a big part of the victory and preserved the win when John fouled out in the fourth quarter. Two Grade 9s, Jakob Marshall and Gabe Turner, also contributed when called upon. “As with many teams that win in big games, these boys are special. They refused to give in. Four of the starting five were on the Junior boys football team that made it all the way to the provincial semifinals against much bigger and stronger teams.” The Panthers began the Valleys by icing South Okanagan 44-33. In Grade 8 girls playoff action Monday night, Fulton upended VSS 45-36 in the North Zone final. Taryn Kreeft led the Panthers with 11 points and six rebounds, while Megan Wiebe racked up five points, nine boards and three blocks and Brianna Falk earned six points, four steals and three blocks. VSS ambushed the Carlisle Panthers (Tappen/Salmon Arm) 65-9 in the semis. Fulton qualifies for the provincials, March 6-9, in Pitt Meadows.

Taylor Vandale of the Vernon Sladen Moore Lakers challenges Cheyanne Watkinson of Kamloops Mystix in front of goalie Sydney Carter in Okanagan Mainline Bantam A Female hockey playoff action Sunday at Civic Arena.
Mystix show magic Morning Star Staff
The Sladen Moore Lakers lost 5-3 to the Kamloops Royal Purple Mystix Sunday in the third and deciding game of the Okanagan Mainline Bantam A Female hockey final playoff series. The Mystix, who hadn’t defeated the Lakers all season, scored an empty netter in the final minute. Kamloops came out strong and scored two minutes in on a scramble, but Jenna Fletcher tied it up with a great one-timer to the far side. Samantha Head and Hunter Joseph drew the assists. Andie Kaneda gave the Lakers the lead firing a one-timer after Olivia Comeau and Sam Head did some great forechecking behind the Mystix net. Comeau and Taylor Vandale earned the helpers. The Mystix scored just after the flood and it was tied 2-2 at the end of the second at Civic Arena. The Mystix took the lead for good early in the third on a Laker deflection on a point shot and then scored again three minutes later to set up a two-goal lead. The Lakers battled hard to get back in it, and their offensive leader Comeau came through when she fought off a checker the length of the ice and buried a great wrister to the short side. “Being the provincial host team, we lost a little incentive to win our zone and we took Kamloops for granted,” said Sladen Moore head coach Keith Tucker. “We have all the pieces; we just need to come together as a team and work hard. We are looking forward to doing that this weekend against the two Kootenay zone champions Cranbrook and Castlegar.” Vernon hosts the provincial championships March 16-20 at Wesbild Centre.
Vernon girls boost Silvertips
The Salmon Arm Silvertips stopped the Kelowna Rockets 5-2 in Game 1 of the Okanagan Valley Midget A girls series Saturday at the Shaw Centre. The Silvertips, bolstered by a number of Vernon products, beat the Kelowna Rockets 5-2 in the opening game of the best-of-three Okanagan final Saturday at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm. After a scoreless first period, Lisa Campeau of Vernon opened the scoring for Salmon Arm, followed by a marker from Vernon’s Jenna Lazar. Kelowna rallied to tie the contest 2-2, setting the stage for the winning goal by Vernon’s Molly Box with three minutes left in regulation time. Campeau added an insurance marker at 18:37 before Salmon Arm’s Maddison Turner finished the
scoring with an empty-netter. Campeau finished with 2+3 and Lazar added two helpers. Vernon’s Kylie Assi picked up the win in goal. Game 2 goes Saturday at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna. The series winner advances to the provincial finals in Richmond over spring break. Other Vernon players on the Salmon Arm roster include Brittany Jackson, Jess Murphy, Hannah Scherk, Ashley Tinney and Danielle Butler. Leea Lawson of Vernon is the team manager.
Venom finish season at 18-0
The Valley Wood Remanufacturing Venom completed an 18-0 regular season with a 5-1 win over Kamloops #3 Saturday at Wesbild. Lochlan O’Keefe pulled the hat trick with singles going to Coletyn Boyarski and Jakob Jones. Assists were provided by Boyarski, Scott Gilowski, Cody Beckner and Connor Hansen, with a pair. Goaltending was split between Owen Swiscoski and Kobe Grant. The Venom open the Valley Atom Development playoff tournament Friday in Penticton against Kelowna #2 at 5:30 p.m. (McLaren Arena). The H&L Glass Wolfpack of Vernon (17-0-1) play Penticton #1 in their first game Friday at 11:34 a.m. (Okanagan Hockey School rink). The Venom brushed back the Pack 6-2 in exhibition play Sunday at Civic Arena. Boyarski (3), O’Keefe (2) and Moger provided the Venom goals in front of the sweet tandem of Swiscoski and Grant. Lucas Zubrod and Ben Imrich replied for the Pack.
Fix Auto Vikings sweep Prince George
The Fix Auto Vikings swept the Prince George Cougars 4-1 and 10-3 in exhibition Bantam Tier 3 action. Logan Imrich jumpstarted the scoring on a slapper from Owen Beliveau and Kyle Sherwood. After the Cats equalized Saturday at Wesbild. Colton Skead put Vernon in the lead from Carl Main and Imrich. The Vikings then got goals from Riley Swiskoski and Austin Caldwell. Sunday’s rematch at Civic saw Vernon finish their season in a penalty-filled tilt. Goalies Conor Webb and Ethan Huizinga split the games and finished off a strong season. Stephane Richard, Main and Caldwell each had two goals, while singles came from Beliveau, Imrich, Liam Hennig and Skead.
The Coca-Cola Vipers stopped the Summerland Jets 5-1 in Sunday’s final of the Tri-Cities Invitational Midget Rep Hockey Tournament in Washington State. Vernon was backstopped by Liam McOnie, who only allowed one goal in his three tourney games. Jeff Bochon opened the attack with a shorthanded goal. Later in the first period, Lee Springer converted on the powerplay, from Brandon Rysen. Jordan Rea then scored two straight goals assisted by Easton Jones and also Scott Latwat on the second. Hayden Chase wrapped up the scoring, assisted by Lee Springer. The Coke crew doubled Coquitlam 4-2 with Evan Campagnolo in net and goals coming from Hayden Chase (1+2), Mitchell Lukacs, Conor Payne and Jack Pawsey. In Saturday preliminary play, the Vipers lost 4-3 to the Spokane Jr. Chiefs before icing the host Americans 4-0. Spokane went up 3-0 before the Vipers got snipes from Rysen, Lukacs and Payne. McOnie recorded his second shutout of the tournament against the Amerks, backed by a strong defence of Alex Richardson, Easton Jones, Brandon Rysen, Conor ButteLandsfried, Payne and Zach Manton. Bochon (2), Scott Latwat and Lukacs handled the Coke offence. The Home Building Centre Midget Tier 1 Vipers grounded the West Kelowna Tier 2 Warriors 4-1 in exhibition play Sunday at Civic. Blaine Caton netted 2+1, while
Curtis Sexsmith and Wyatt Warnes added singles. Logan Geefs earned three helpers. Caton scored his second midway through the third from Geefs and Travis Churchill on some gorgeous tic-tac-toe passing.
Hewson scores 14th
In B.C. Major Midget play, Vernon’s Spencer Hewson registered his 14th goal of the season as the Okanagan Rockets lost 5-2 to the Vancouver NE Giants Sunday at CNC. The third-place Rockets, who also have Vernon’s Dennon Leibel, tied the first-place Giants 3-3 Saturday. Hewson, 17, who scored his first BCHL goal Friday night for the Salmon Arm SilverBacks, has 32 points and 30 penalty minutes with the Rockets. Leibel, 16, has six goals, 10 points and 54 penalty minutes. Defenceman Alex Gran, a 17-yearold Vernon Viper prospect, has 39 points and 108 penalty minutes. Matt Barzal of the Vancouver NE Chiefs leads the league with 29-6897. He is a first-round Bantam draft choice of the Seattle Thunderbirds.
Knights split two games
The North Okanagan Pee Wee Tier 4 Knights doubled the Kamloops Tomahawks 8-4 and lost 6-2 to West Kelowna in exhibition action. Eli Dwyer and Ryan Desilets scored in West Kelowna with Dwyer converting after goalie Caedon Bellmann made a long outlet pass to d-man Michael Kormany, who fed Dwyer.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder
C H R I S T M A S COMPETITION BIDS AND LEAD Here are the answers to the bidding and lead questions in my Christmas Competition. 2. If South is the dealer and East-West pass throughout, how would the bidding go? See the diagram. Yes, South might rebid two spades; perhaps North is 5-3 in the majors. But it is not clear that a 5-4 spade fit will be better than a 6-3 heart fit. Look at only the West hand. 3a. If South opens one diamond, what should West do? Make a takeout double. This isn’t guaranteed to work better than a two-club overcall, but it keeps more options open. A good partner
will bid a five-card major. (Pass could be best, but goes against the grain these days.) 3b. If West opens one club (yes, a tad thin) and East responds one heart, what should West rebid? Two hearts -- no second choice. 3c. South opens one notrump (15 to 17 points) and North raises to three notrump. What should West lead? The club four. Look at only the South hand. 4. South opens one heart and North responds one spade. What should South rebid? Four spades (or three spades; or four clubs, a splinter bid -- but that would be my third choice with so few high-card points). Look at only the East hand.
5a. If West opens one spade, what should East respond? Three spades, limit raise. 5b. If South opens one club, West makes a takeout double and North passes, what should East bid? Two spades.

Provincial voters list gets pre-election update List can be viewed online Morning Star Staff
Elections B.C. is conducting an enumeration and updating the provincial voters
list for the May 2013 provincial general election. “Elections B.C. is implementing a multilayered approach to enumerating the province in advance of the May 14 provincial general election” said Keith Archer, chief electoral
officer. “We are asking eligible voters to register and those already on the list to ensure their voter registration is up-to-date.” More than 1.9 million notices will be mailed to residential addresses in the province asking eligible
residents to register to vote or to update their voter registration information. Residents can do so online (www.elections. bc.ca/ovr) or by calling Elections B.C. toll-free at 1-800-661-8683. Residents may also identify the names of
voters no longer living at their address and request that their name be removed from the address. Starting on March 6, Elections B.C. voter registration officials will provide voter registration opportunities throughout the prov-
ince at shopping malls, community centres, campuses and more. Voter registration officials will be conducting door-to-door visits in selected high mobility neighbourhoods, new subdivisions and residential complexes.

Pennies still in play at retail shops Black Press
According to a survey by BMO Bank of Montreal, threequarters (73 per cent) of Canadians expect retailers, including small businesses, to continue accepting pennies at the checkout – regardless of the circumstances or purchase amount – despite plans for their elimination. In addition, the survey also found that 59 per cent of Canadians expect small businesses to adjust prices in the consumers’ favour and 57 per cent expect adjustment to be in the retailers favour. “With this move to phase out the penny, there can be little doubt that Canadian business will continue to do what they need to, to maintain and strengthen the important relationships they have with their customers,” said Steve Murphy, senior vice-president of commercial banking, BMO Bank of Montreal. “As the penny is phased out, small businesses overall should not experience a noticeable difference in the number of transactions because many retailers are also set up to accept debit and credit card transactions.” The survey, conducted by Pollara, also revealed: n Nearly two-thirds (66 per cent) of those surveyed currently pay for their daily purchases with a debit or credit card n The majority (67 per cent) of Canadians believe speed of service will increase as fewer customers will
pay with loose change The Federal government has proposed voluntary guidelines for retailers, includ-
ing: rounding down if the price ends in a one, two, six or seven and rounding up if the price ends in a three,
four, eight or nine “Some small businesses may adjust their cash registers, while others may encour-
age their employees to round the bill manually after taxes have been added to the sub-total, said Murphy.
