Cherryville car fire sparks heroism ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Margaret Hollingsworth was on her way to Vernon to help a friend. She ended up getting help herself from two Cherryville strangers. Hollingsworth, a 77-yearold mother of eight daughters, grandmother to 25 and great-grandmother to 30, was painting and fixing her Nakusp home with her husband on March 1. The couple plan on putting their home on the market. Hollingsworth decided she had enough of the renos and was going to go for a drive to Vernon to visit a friend going through some personal issues. At 9:30 p.m., on Highway 6 just past Northfolk Road in Cherryville, as she drove her 1988 Oldsmobile toward Vernon, Hollingsworth ended up in a ditch. “I wasn’t driving too fast, I was taking my time and the road was good. I was following a U-Haul, so I had lots of light but something startled me, I don’t know what,” said Hollingsworth. “I looked up and all I could see was flames and a tree. I had hit a tree and the car was on fire.” Hollingsworth tried to get out of the car herself. She unlocked the doors but she said they wouldn’t open. Dan Balcaen, 57, was returning home to Cherryville having helped his fiancée, Diane Meda, pick out a new 2013 spruce mica (dark green) Toyota Matrix. Meda and her son, Kevin Meda, 35, had been following Balcaen in the Matrix. “We had just gone past Northfolk Road, we came around a corner, went up the hill, and saw a car down the bank on fire and somebody trying to open the doors. I didn’t know it was Dan,” said

A 77-year-old Nakusp woman was pulled to safety by two Cherryville men after her 1988 Oldsmobile went off Highway 6 near Cherryville March 1, struck a tree and burst into flames. Diane Meda. “I pulled over and told my son to get out and go help that person.” As Kevin arrived, Dan was assuring Hollingsworth that everything was going to be fine. “He was talking to me all the time, saying, ‘Ma’am you are not dying in this car, we’ll get you out of there, hang in there,’” said Hollingsworth. “They got the top of the door and they ripped it off.” Diane Meda had parked her new Matrix, put her flashers on and flagged down a passing vehicle that had a

bunch of people in it. Meda believes they were on their way to a skidoo cabin in the Monashees. One of the women in the car had first aid training. Dan Balcaen and Kevin Meda brought Hollingsworth up the bank to the side of the highway, where the unidentified woman began tending to her. The men noticed Hollingsworth was having trouble breathing, so Kevin Meda ran to a friend’s nearby home and borrowed an asthmatic puffer.
With no cellular service in the area, Balcaen raced to a landline phone and called an ambulance. Hollingsworth was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with a severe laceration and breathing difficulties. She did not, however, receive any burns. “They saved my life,” said Hollingsworth, through tears, of Balcaen and Kevin Meda. “What more valuable thing could a person do? They saved my life. Isn’t that something?” Diane Meda had left the
scene before the ambulance arrive, gone to get help from friends and neighbours to put out the car fire (Cherryville has no fire protection service). The flames had spread to some neighbouring trees, as well. Diane Meda was relieved to hear that Hollingsworth was recovering, thanks to the efforts of her family and the first aid treatment before ambulance personnel arrived. “I feel really wonderful and I’m glad she’s doing well,” said Diane Meda. “I was really scared for awhile.”
Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce praised the efforts of the Medas and Balcaen. “They undoubtedly saved the driver’s life by removing her from the vehicle in the nick of time,” said Proce. While she hasn’t yet met the men who saved her life, Hollingsworth has added that to her spring “to-do” list. “I am definitely going to see them,” she said. “I do want to get together with them, by all means.” What started the fire in the Oldsmobile is still under investigation.

Blaze adds to recycling uncertainty richard rolke Morning Star Staff
A destructive fire has only complicated the future of recycling. The Regional District of North Okanagan was already in the midst of determining the scope of its recycling program next year when fire roared through the collection and sorting facility at the Greater Vernon landfill March 1. “The future of the facility, even before the incident, was uncertain and now it’s even more uncertain,” said Dale Danallanko, recycling and disposal facilities operations manager. Under provincial rules, industry-based Multi-Materials B.C. will become responsible for recycling of packaging and printed paper in 2014. As part of that process, RDNO is developing a proposal for MMBC to consider on collection and sorting of material. “We will have to speak to them about what they need here,” said Nicole Kohnert, manager of regional engineering services. Ultimately, MMBC’s needs could impact replacing the destroyed structure. “We will have to decide if we rebuild a full facility (with sorting) or if there is a smaller facility that’s just for collection,” said Kohnert. RDNO had about $1 million in insurance coverage for the destroyed complex, and analysts will now consider the replace-

Fire crews continue to put out the burning bundles of recycling Saturday morning after the recycling plant went up in flames Friday night. ment cost and the structural integrity of the structures left. What is guaranteed is the cause of the fire will never be known. “The damage is so extensive they can’t
determine the cause,” said Danallanko, of the insurance company’s investigation. Curbside recycling collection continues and 400 tonnes a month of material will eventually be shipped to a Kelowna com-
pany, in the interim, for shipping. “They certainly have the capacity and they are looking at taking some of the employees (from the facility) for the additional sorting,” said Kohnert.
GVAC places art gallery concept on back burner richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Art gallery proponents have been told to cool their jets. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee decided Thursday that it won’t consider the possibility of a new Vernon Public Art Gallery until a review of cultural services is completed. “There are Mike Macnabb some concerns we’re being directed by that group without any input from our side,”
said Mike Macnabb, chairperson. “They have some large demands with huge implications for taxpayers.” VPAG had wanted to go to referendum on a $5-million facility this year, but the earliest GVAC may be in a position to start discussing the matter is June. Macnabb says GVAC has to consider a broad range of pressures for tax dollars. “We want to look at community needs,” said Macnabb. “The competition (for dollars) is huge with water infrastructure.” And before the green light can be given to a referendum, Macnabb says officials have to look at the capital and operating costs of a
new gallery and the location. “What are the alternatives? We’re out of the loop but they’re asking us to go to referendum. The question is, can we support this?” he said. Macnabb admits the delay in process won’t go over well with those lobbying for an art gallery referendum. “It may be disappointing but our role is to look after taxpayers,” he said. Macnabb isn’t sure if a new art gallery can be open by 2015, a deadline VPAG had targeted because of the Okanagan Print Triennial. “Personally, I don’t think so but I don’t know,” he said. “We don’t
want to jump into this because one group is demanding.” GVAC’s decision to not proceed with planning for an art gallery now has not gone over well with the Vernon Public Art Gallery. “We’re not thrilled,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director. “We have an active steering committee willing to do the work to go to referendum. We’re not asking for a lot. We’re just asking to go to referendum.” As for suggestions that VPAG has been directing elected officials along a specific course, Kennedy Grant says her organization has been following the lead of GVAC and the City of Vernon. “We put together our business

NDP seek probe on Liberal memo Scrutiny of B.C.’s ethnic vote controversy is underway but some are suggesting the process should be completely separate from government. John Dyble, Premier Christy Clark’s deputy minister, is investigating how a memo about enticing the ethnic vote to the Liberals came to be developed. “The inquiry needs to be independent,” said Mark Olsen, Vernon-Monashee candidate, adding that it may be difficult for Dyble to access all necessary information. Olsen is also putting pressure on the local MLA to take a similar stand. “I appreciate that Mr. (Eric) Foster is showing loyalty to Christy Clark but I hope he Mark Olsen agrees that an independent inquiry would be the best situation for all of us,” said Olsen. “We could get to the bottom of this and we want to find out the answers to all of the questions popping up.” However, Foster says he has confidence in Dyble and the process that is already underway. “John Dyble is one of the most respected civil servants in B.C. We want to get to the bottom of this right away,” said Foster. “John will be able to do that. If we bring in an outside person, it will take six months and we don’t have six months. The public wants answers right away.” Clark’s deputy chief of staff stepped down after the multicultural strategic outreach plan was leaked and John Yap resigned as advanced education and multiculturalism minister while the investigation is underway.

floors in the Polson tower, the Ministry of Health has named the North Okanagan-ColumbiaShuswap Regional Hospital District as a funding partner. But that isn’t going over well with some local politicians. “No, there hasn’t been a decision. It’s a bit presumptuous,” said Mike Macnabb, NOCSRHD director. “They are putting the board in a difficult position because the government is announcing this although there has been no decision yet. I don’t like that tactic.” Of the total $29 million cost, the ministry

released a request for qualifications so contractors can indicate their interest and qualifications to design and develop the two floors in the Polson tower. The applicants will then be short-listed and invited to respond to a request for proposals. “We’re moving forward on our commitment to improving capacity at VJH with the release of the RFQ,” said Margaret MacDiarmid, health minister. The RFQ process will wrap up April 23. The Interior Health Authority expects to select a preferred proponent and begin construction by late 2013, with the two floors anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2015.

will provide $22 million while the government states the remainder will come from the NOCSRHD and the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation. The foundation has committed to raise $2.5 million. Rick Fairbairn, a NOCSRHD director, says while his board supports the initiative in principle, there has been no agreement to provide funding. “There have been some discussions as to the arrangements,” he
said. “The board will convene this month as to the amount. Details have yet to be determined.” A source of contention is the fact that NOCSRHD, through local property taxes, paid the entire $10 million cost of shelling-in the two floors so they were available in the future. At that time, some local officials stated that the ministry was not to come back to the district for funds for development. The ministry has

Different approaches are being taken to a proposed shuttle service in the North Okanagan. The Village of Lumby has endorsed plans from Kamloops Transportation to run a private bus, while the City of Enderby is expressing some reservations. “It seems like a great idea,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby mayor. K a m l o o p s Transportation is proposing a shuttle connector between North Okanagan communities and Kelowna daily. “Our service will be a primarily light bus service to enhance the existing service and the scheduling will be adjusted to accommodate the schedules of Greyhound and the medical bus,” said Abdul Rasheed, presi-

dent. Enderby council has not endorsed the concept at this point. “We don’t want to undermine the transit service we are subsidizing already but if it can be integrated, there could be benefits,” said Howie Cyr, Enderby mayor. Enderby has asked the Regional District of North Okanagan to review the potential impact on transit. “We want to know if it may work with the transit system, and specifically from Enderby to Salmon Arm,” said Cyr. Acton doesn’t
believe Kamloops Transportation would compete with transit. “They are going after a completely different market. They are looking at tourists or seniors needing to spend the day in Kelowna,” he said. K a m l o o p s Transportation would charge one-way fares of $30 between Lumby and Kelowna and $10 from Lumby to Vernon. “We will work with B.C. Transit and the municipalities to see if the taxi saver coupons or the municipal travel vouchers can be used by seniors on our service,” said Rasheed.

However, Cyr says the issue can’t be dropped because the property is critical to the longterm economic viability of local communities. “There may be varying opinions on what it can be used for. Some may see it for transportation uses and others may look at it for recreation purposes,” he said. A date for the meeting has not been set yet.

Seniors issues focus of election forum Morning Star Staff
Seniors issues are front and centre leading up to the provincial election. The Seniors Action Network, SAN, will ask questions of the candidates at a meeting Tuesday at the People Place at 10 a.m. “Questions will deal with seniors’ issues that have been repeatedly identified by SAN and others,” said Dale Drury, with the Seniors Information and Resource Centre. “The candidates will then have the opportunity to discuss these concerns and propose ideas and resolutions they would make if elected. If you are a senior, or a senior’s supporter and
have issues you want addressed you are urged to attend.” Some of the identified issues deal with poverty, health care, finances and home support. Drury says the purpose of the meeting is not only to hear how these concerns will be addressed, but to make sure that the candidates know what issues affect seniors. “After hearing answers to the prepared questions, which have been forwarded to the candidates, people in the audience will then have an opportunity to question them with their own concerns.” For more information, call, 250-545 8572.

On April 6, 2013, Greater Vernon residents will be asked whether they are in favour of the Regional District borrowing up to $7.53 million dollars to construct a sports field and athletics facility at 6920 College Way, beside the Vernon campus of Okanagan College.
DID YOU KNOW?
• This facility is one piece of a long-term recreation plan for the Greater Vernon community. • The recreation needs of Greater Vernon require the land area of both the Okanagan College site and Kin Race Track Park. • The synthetic turf field will provide “playable time” that is equivalent to three natural grass sports fields, reducing the land required to meet the communities recreation needs. • The average cost per Greater Vernon residential property would be $15 per year, for 20 years. • The facility will be maintained and useable, year-round.

efore you turn your clocks ahead Saturday night and lose an hour (just what we needed, especially us women who don’t have enough time in the day as it is), turn your attention back in honour of this gorgeous gender. Today is International Women’s Day – a day to celebrate all the achievements and respect ladies have earned and a day to appreciate and love the women around us. From the days of not being able to vote, or speak unless spoken to, women have come a long way. Our traditional roles in the kitchens and homes have shifted (for the most part) into the workforce. And we are Jennifer Smith increasingly gaining ground in equality. Unfortunately, women still lag behind their male counterparts – particularly in many workplaces. According to Statistics Canada, the average hourly wage in January 2013 for women in B.C. was $22.04, while the average for men was $26.62. While the discrepancy might upset some women, I do believe that these could very well be justified earnings. There are a lot of hard-working men out there (including my husband) who truly ‘earn’ every penny they receive. But the very same goes for women. Maybe there are just more hard-working men than there are women? Maybe more men have the education and skills to obtain the higher-paying jobs? Or, one might argue, maybe gender equality is still lacking in the workforce? Men are louder and more intimidating, so perhaps their requests (or demands) for raises and

promotions are taken more seriously over a quiet woman (who likely doesn’t have the courage to ask for anything in the first place). But I turn your attention to a little saying, which I keep posted next to my desk: ‘A woman has to do twice as much as a man to be considered half as good. Fortunately, it isn’t difficult.’ Plus we make it look good! Whether you’re male or female, the world is full of inequality. Particularly in recent years, we are all doing more with less. Wages across virtually every sector have remained static while businesses (big and small) are recovering from a tough economy. Yet everywhere around us, prices are increasing. It now costs $1 to park at most downtown meters for an hour – versus the old 50 cent fee. And the fines have even doubled from $5 to $10. It’s not as if the prices are exorbitant (it’s still cheap to park here when compared to larger centres like Vancouver) but the increase could drive business out of downtown initially (customers will likely come back, armed with pockets full of quarters). In Lumby the village is even raising water and sewer rates because customers are conserving too much water. With less water usage the village can’t afford the utility so it has to penalize its customers. Kind of flies in the face of the message hammered into us over our lifetime to conserve this precious resource. Fuel prices are outlandish, Hydro bills are through the roof, local non-profit service providers are struggling with funding cuts and the list goes on. While there is no relief in sight, at least for the immediate future, all we can do is watch our pennies. Oh never mind, they took that away from us too.
It’s difficult to know where the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is coming from. On Thursday, it stated it’s unwilling to consider the prospect of a new art gallery until a review of all cultural services is completed in June at the earliest. “There are some concerns we’re being directed by that group without any input from our side,” said chairperson Mike Macnabb referring to the Vernon Public Art Gallery. “We’re out of the loop but they’re asking us to go to referendum.” If elected officials are out of the loop, it’s not because of the advocates for an art gallery. They have made numerous presentations to the GVAC board, spoken to directors one-on-one and had discussions with bureaucrats. They have been up front about what they want in terms of a design, cost and the need to gain taxpayer support through a referendum. Every time the matter comes up at GVAC, there is little discussion and directors indicate they are preoccupied with more pressing topics, including the upcoming vote on a sports complex. And while there’s no question the GVAC agenda is full, the art gallery can’t be ignored forever because the current facility is inadequate for a growing community. The only reason VPAG appears to be driving this bus is because there has been a lack of elected leadership. If the politicians want to be in the loop, they need to step up to the plate and start seriously talking about the location of a new gallery, costs and the ability of residents to pay given other financial pressures. Ultimately, GVAC may decided not to proceed with VPAG’s current design but at least it will have climbed off the fence.

pipeline debate Dean Moore's letter is trying to convince me that B.C. residents' continued employment will be maintained by the oil flowing in the proposed Northgate Pipeline. How oil ending up in China will promote substantial employment here is a puzzle to me. If anything, it will help to do the exact opposite. Does he ever read the labels on the goods he buys, like Made in China? Why not market our oil in Eastern Canada, where they import oil from Venezuela, and add value to our own energy sources by promoting the manufacture of goods in our country? By the way, the grey-haired, empty-nesters he mentioned in his letter most probably know for example that the Enbridge Kalamazoo River oil spill in Michigan cost $767 million to

Forget about the idling bylaw
ouncil's new anti-idling law will impose $1,000 after-tax fines on people for idling car engines for more than three minutes. At a tax rate of 25 per cent, you must earn $1,250 to pay the fine. Doing some simple minimum-wage math, $10.25 times four weeks a month equals $1,640, minus maybe 25 per cent for tax and deductions, gives you about $1,230. So a bylaw person who waited around and caught someone idling their car for three minutes could wipe out an entire month of earnings for some people, or a half month of earnings for more fortunate people. That's a huge, life-affecting fine for some people, for only a tiny offense. How tiny? Let's do some more junior high school math to compare the quantity of offensive idling fumes to all the other car fumes that are produced in the city. If the quantity of idling fumes is much smaller than the quantity of total fumes, then council's new anti-idling law is pointless, because it doesn't address the overall fumes problem in any meaningful way. Let's use simple estimates for (1) the number of vehicles burning fuel, (2) their RPM (fuel burn) rates, (3) their engine sizes, and
R
❙
(4) the number of minutes running. Double the vehicles, the RPM, the engine size, or the minutes running, and you double the fumes produced. (1) During rush hour, at the time when moms pick up their kids at school and offensively idle their engines, what percentage of running vehicles in Vernon are idling at the school? Common sense says that 10 per cent, or even five per cent, seem too high. So let's go with two per cent and assume that one out of every 50 running vehicles is at the school, offensively idling, picking up a child. Already you can see that council's new anti-idling law is only addressing a maximum of two per cent (1/50) of the fumes problem. But it gets much worse.
clean up, with the clean-up still going on. They also know that oil spill responsibility ends when the tankers leave port. They also know that we live in an earthquake-prone zone. Casey berlanda baCKing the ban There is a movement underway to ban genetically modified organisms in the Regional District of North Okanagan. I would like to voice my support of that movement. Although there may, as yet, not be any scientific proof for detrimental effects on human health after GMO containing foods are consumed, genetically engineered plants are biological organisms that cross-pollinate with neighbouring non-GMO plants of the same or related species, and thus compromise the integrity of organ-

(2) If idling vehicles run at about 1,000 RPM, and moving vehicles run at least 2,000 RPM, moving vehicles generate two times the fumes, increasing the total fumes by 2x. So Council's new law is now addressing one per cent or less of the fumes problem. (3) The average engine size of a school moms idling vehicle must be smaller than the average engine size of the vehicles running elsewhere in town. Think of all of those huge diesel engines on the highway, and all of the V8 pickup and delivery trucks doing business in town. They pull the average engine size way up. For easy math, let's say the school moms' engine sizes are half the size of the trucks driving around town. Now council's new law is addressing
ic or non-GMO growers who have to guarantee their products to be free of GMOs. Also, GMOs cross-pollinate with related wild species growing nearby, and pass their engineered genes on to wild plants. But the bigger threat is that we don't know the far-reaching consequences of tampering with the genes of our plant world. Selective breeding has been practiced for thousands of years, but only within genes of the same species, whereas genetic engineering jumps the species barrier and mixes genes that are totally foreign to each other, like splicing a fish gene into strawberries to make them more frost resistant. In natural evolution, everything influences everything else, and everything is influenced by everything else. Species evolve in concert, in harmony, with each other, for the
0.5 per cent or less of the fumes problem. (4) Outside of school pickup minutes, the original two per cent of idling vehicles at schools drops to zero per cent, and council's new law addresses a vanishingly small part – let's be truthful and call it essentially zero per cent – of the overall fumes problem because now all vehicles in Vernon, including school moms, continue to generate fumes whenever they are running. The newspaper editor had it right when he pointed out various problems with bylaw definitions, enforcement, and with the legitimate reasons for why people keep their cars idling in the winter. For example, to defrost their windshields so they can see through them to drive safely in the school zone. I think of the unaware tourist victims who happen to stop for three minutes and get fined $1,250 after-tax dollars as they're passing through our friendly town. Hopefully, everyone will soon learn to momentarily turn their car off and on again to stay under the three continuous minutes limit, and to thereby significantly reduce our valley-wide inversion air quality problem.

benefit of not only the individual but also the whole. This is a wholistic process that cannot be duplicated in a lab. Genetically engineering some plants for the benefit of a few people or organizations violates the wholistic principle of natural evolution. We mess with nature at our peril! GMO labelling is not yet mandatory in Canada, but GMO apples are a concern for the B.C. Fruit Growers Association. Banning all GMOs in the Regional District of North Okanagan would ensure consumers that all locally grown produce is GMO free, and equally give a boost to local producers. For all of the above reasons, I support a ban on GMOs in the Regional District of North Okanagan. hermann harlos

City taking aim at weeds Morning Star Staff
Bylaw enforcement officers would like to remind Vernon residents to stop the spread of noxious weeds this spring. There are two weeds in particular that City of Vernon bylaw enforcement officers would like residents to pay attention to: Scotch Thistle and Rush Skeletonweed. “Scotch Thistle and Rush Skeletonweed can have a very negative effect on property values, recreational opportunities, wildlife and livestock if they are not controlled,” said Clint Kanester, man- Clint Kanester ager of bylaw enforcement. “Controlling these weeds can help biodiversity and prevent them from taking over our native plants. “We can also help our crops produce better yields and have a more visually appealing community by stopping their spread.” More information about these two weeds can be found at: Scotch Thistle: http://www.weedsbc.ca/ pdf/scotch_thistle.pdf Rush Skeletonweed: http:// www.weedsbc.ca/pdf/rush_skeletonweed.pdf. People are encouraged to pick, spray, or mechanically remove the weeds or bury or burn
the plants or seed heads appropriately (permits may be required). Please phone 250-550-3505 for information on which sprays bylaw enforcement officers recommend or to report weed infestations. Property owners who do not remove these weeds from their properties or boulevard areas will receive a compliance letter under the Good Neighbour Bylaw and Provincial Weed Control Act instructing them when they must remove the weeds. If they don’t remove them by the compliance date, the City of Vernon’s contractor will remove them at a cost to the home owner, which depends on the scope of work. The Regional District of North Okanagan has a very good information brochure about noxious weeds at www.rdno.ca/docs/noxious_weeds_prevention.pdf.

Griffiths earns OMREB role Morning Star Staff
A Vernon resident is part of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board’s new executive. Darcy Griffiths, with Royal LePage Downtown Realty, has been elected vicepresident of the organization for 2013/14. She has been a realtor since 1991 and has sold real estate in Vernon for 12 years. The new president is Karen Singbeil, from Sicamous, who takes over from Rob Shaw, from Royal Lepage in Vernon. Darcy Griffiths “I am hopeful that relatively low mortgage rates and moderate home prices will continue to allow more first-time buyers to enter the market this year, and will encourage investors to develop more rental opportunities for those who are not in a position to buy,” said Singbeil. “As consumer confidence strengthens, the economy improves, employment grows, and the market continues to stabilize in the Okanagan-Shuswap, I am hopeful more buyers and sellers will be able to reach their housing goals in 2013.” The 2013/14 OMREB board also includes directors Joe Pearson, from Re/Max in Vernon, and Don Gilowski, with Royal LePage Downtown Realty.
Real estate sales slow Morning Star Staff
Real estate activity remains slow in the North Okanagan. Overall, there were 80 units sold in February, down 10.1 per cent from 89 during the same month in 2012. Total residential sales dipped four per cent, from 75 to 72 units. There were 40 single-family home sales, a 4.8 per cent decrease from 42 last year. “We remain cautiously optimistic that the second quarter of 2013 will see an improvement after the much‐anticipated transition back to PST/GST is complete,” said Rob Shaw, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board past-president.

Contributors are acknowledged with signage at the farm. The goal of the garden project is to facilitate numerous social, educational, economic, and environmental opportunities for students, residents and organizations. “There are lots of ways the community can support our project,� said Jane Lister, Okanagan College regional dean.
“We can only go so far as the funds will take us.� — Wendy Aasen
“Currently our focus is on getting the infrastructures in place so that we can start to develop the programming.� Patchwork Farms will share the space and grow food crops on half-an-acre of the two-acre site, while providing education and recreation for people of all ages and abilities. The Kindale Developmental Association is the lead organization in a partnership that includes the B.C. Schizophrenia Society, the Mental Illness Family Support
Centre, the Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Social Planning Council. “We’re really excited to move from the planning stage to having the whole community join us in bringing the first phase of the farm to life this spring,� said Dianne Hustler, with BCSS. Anyone wanting to donate, can go to www. patchworkfarms.ca. Volunteers are also needed, For more information, e-mail patchworkfarms@ shaw.ca or call Wendy at 250-542-6920.

Enderby and District Credit Union members have spoken. During a special meeting Tuesday, EDCU members voted to have the financial institution join B.C.-based First West Credit Union. “There was a real sense of excitement and anticipation among those who attended the special general meeting last night,” said Quentin Bruns, EDCU chairperson. “We’re pleased that the membership has supported our vision for the future.” Enderby and District Financial, as it will be known as of April 1, will retain its local brand and leadership. “The real work begins now,” said Ted Morrison, EDCU general manager.
“We’re already planning how we can begin offering some great new products and services to the North Okanagan and Shuswap.” The possibility of a merger between EDCU and First West was first announced in October 2012. EDCU began in 1947 and it currently has 4,300 members and more than $55 million in assets. First West is B.C.’s third-largest credit union, with $6.6 billion in assets and more than 169,000 members. It operates 37 branches under the Envision Financial and Valley First brands. “Having a third partner join the First West family just goes to prove again that British Columbians and Canadians love our locallyfocussed credit union,” said Launi Skinner, First West’s chief executive officer.

Spring ahead affects drivers Morning Star Staff
As we get ready to move our clocks forward an hour Saturday night for daylight saving time, ICBC is asking drivers to adapt to the time change to reduce the impact it could have on their driving skills. According to an ICBC survey, 34 per cent of B.C. drivers admit that the time shift does affect them and makes them feel less alert after the time change. Studies show that the switch to daylight saving time can have a dramatic effect on disrupting our regular sleep cycle as it puts us out of sync with our circadian rhythm. “The change in our sleep cycle can cause unique dangers on our roads as some drivers will feel more fatigued than usual,” said Dr. John Vavrik, a psychologist at ICBC. “Fatigue is especially dangerous when combined with distractions so it’s important that drivers limit any potential distractions behind the wheel.” Here are ICBC’s tips to help you adjust to the time change:
Plan to get to bed early on Saturday evening and go to bed at your regular time on Sunday to be ready for Monday commutes. Be aware of how your body adapts to the time change and how that may affect your ability to concentrate and avoid hazards. Studies have shown that time changes can have an impact on the quality of our sleep due to more nighttime restlessness. While you may feel fine, your circadian rhythm can still be significantly disrupted affecting your alertness while driving. After many weeks of early sunrises, expect darker morning commutes and more vulnerable road users – cyclists and pedestrians – on the road as the weather warms up. Prepare your vehicle for the change in conditions and darker morning commutes. Clean your vehicle’s headlights and check that they are all working properly, both high and low beam and rear lights.

Para Alpine ski team, and Kurt Oataway, from the Saskatchewan Para Alpine ski team, swapped first and second place in each run, finishing only seconds apart.

Boxers swing for Bronze Gloves Graeme Corbett Morning Star Staff
Most of them have had just one amateur fight, but they’re itching for more. What they lack in experience, Vernon’s entries in the Bronze Gloves boxing tournament will make up for with enthusiasm as they battle in front of a home crowd tonight at the Recreation Complex. The two-day event is for fighters with less than 10 bouts, but the card will also feature an elite competition, including Canadian and Commonwealth champions. Vernon has five entries from its two clubs competing in a field of more than 80. Joe Sigalet (heavyweight), Darrien Boorsma (light welterweight) Usman Raza and 11-year-old Steven Schols (Junior A) will represent the Vernon Boxing Club. Tony Stamboulieh’s CounterPunch Boxing Club has two fighters entered – Usman Raza, a welterweight, and Jordan Johnson, a light welterweight. Sigalet, 25, has been training since age 16, but only had his first bout at a recent card in North Vancouver. He Jordan Johnson admits to getting pulled into the party lifestyle, but adds boxing has helped him stay grounded. “It’s nice to be on the other side for once and just have a clear head,” said Sigalet, who trains five times a week. “I enjoy looking in shape, I enjoy being in shape. I feel I speak better and look better when I’m doing it. There’s lots of benefit to it.” Sigalet likes to fight with “swag” in the ring, and prefers to pick his shots rather than get into an all-out brawl. His go-to punch is the overhand right. “I want to be flawless; I don’t like being hit too much,” he said. Vernon Boxing Club head coach Brian Jones says the Bronze Gloves is an ideal venue for developing fighters. “Last two years, it’s picked up,” he said. “We’ve got a dozen guys registered to fight and six guys ready to fight.” Jones holds a lot of respect for boxers who are starting out and willing to test their mettle in the ring. “It’s scary for a lot of people, especially in your home-

Sigalet, a heavyweight, will battle in the bronze Gloves tournament, which starts tonight at the rec complex. town, first time ever. You’ve gotta have guts.” Raza, 20, has only been training at CounterPunch for one year but already has one amateur bout to his credit. “I wanted something that would keep me going after high school and now I’ve fallen in love with this sport,” said Raza, a self-professed counter puncher. “I haven’t had a sport more vigorous than boxing. I played all sorts of sports in high school, but the training in boxing is something else.” At the other end of the spectrum, Johnson, a slugger, brings a lunch-pail mentality to the ring. He’s not exactly a Picasso in the ring, but rather a work in progress. “I ain’t no natural; that’s what I’ve learnt over the years,”
smiled Johnson. “I’m not much for the finesse, I’m not much of a point scorer, so I’m a little worried about that. Hopefully I’ll remember what Tony taught me – more movement and speed up a little – and hopefully my power will be enough to take the guy down.” Johnson’s philosophy on boxing is a simple one: “It’s all effort. Like a bank – you get out what you put in.” The Elite division will feature Mission’s Jesse Brown, who was a welterweight silver medallist at the Commonwealth Games, Kenny Lally, the Canadian men’s flyweight champion and Jag Seehra, both of Prince George. Doors open each night at 6:00, with action slated for 7:00. Admission is a bargain at $10.
Snakes seeking to wrap up season on winning note Morning Star Staff
Mitch McAllister
Their B.C. Hockey League season will be cut painfully short this weekend, but the Vernon Vipers still plan to go out in style. It has been a dismal year for the Snakes, who will miss the post-season for the second straight season. They
can salvage a bit of pride by going out on a four-game win streak. They are half way there thanks to a 2-1 win over the Merritt Centennials Wednesday night at Nicola Valley Arena. They finish their schedule with a pair of games at Wesbild Centre – tonight against the Penticton Vees, followed by

a Saturday rematch with the Cents. For added incentive, Vernon, last in the Interior Division at 19-25-1-9, can help derail Merritt’s hopes of home-ice advantage in the first round of the Fred Page Cup playoffs. The second-place Cents (31-17-3-3) are just one point ahead of the West Kelowna Warriors
(27-13-4-9) in the Interior race and have played one more game. “Merritt’s going for home-ice advantage and we can be a spoiler,” said Viper rookie forward Mitch McAllister, who collected a goal and an assist against the Centennials Wednesday.

Knights take 2-0 lead to Sicamous Morning Star Staff
When North Okanagan Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette carded defenceman David London in January, he had a postseason run in mind. A 6-foot-2, 210-pounder with Junior A hockey experience, London instantly made the Knights a tougher team in their own end. Tuesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre, the Kelowna native displayed his offensive arsenal, wiring a pair of powerplay point blasts as the Knights stuffed the Sicamous Eagles 4-3 in Game 2 of their Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoff series. London’s second snipe with 7:17 was the winner, helping North Okanagan take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Doug Birks Division final. He has four goals and three assists in seven games, David London good enough for fifth in KIJHL postseason scoring for defencemen. “I just see him getting stronger and stronger,” said Mallette. “He likes to be out there; he likes to be that guy.” The series headed to Sicamous for Game 3 Thursday, followed by Game 4 tonight at the rec centre. If necessary, the remaining three tilts would go Sunday (Armstrong), Monday (Sicamous) and Tuesday (Armstrong). Brandon Shirley opened the scoring for the Knights by deflecting a rising point shot by Dryden Profeit with six minutes to go in the first period. Mallette was pleased to see Shirley, who plays on an energy line with Owen Barker and Anthony Ruggerio, get rewarded for his hustle in front of 375 fans. “They’ve been able to control the play down low. They’ve been one of our most consistent lines.” The Knights eased up after the goal, and the veteran Eagles capitalized twice to take a 2-1 lead into the break. Cam Olson leaned into a rolling puck during a Sicamous powerplay

Brayden Taekema capitalized on a North Okanagan turnover in the final minute for the other goal. “It all stems from our defencemen and forwards making that one extra move,” said Mallette. “They hold onto it for that half a second and they pounce on it. A lot of their chances have come off our blatant mistakes.” London collected the lone second-period snipe, and captain Steve Pantazopoulos, who also converted on the man

advantage, rounded out North Okanagan’s offence in front of netminder Austin Buzzell (27 saves). Buzzell started in place of Dustin Nikkel, who did not dress for personal reasons. Mallette planned to start Buzzell in Game 3. Kris Joyce made 22 stops for the Eagles, who got a second goal from Olson with six seconds to play. The Knights went 3-for-7 with the man advantage, and held the Eagles to one goal on six attempts.
“We’ve already beat them once this week.” After getting outshot 14-7 in a scoreless first period (and 38-22 overall), the Vipers opened the scoring on a three-way passing play, with McAllister and Craig Martin setting up Michael Roberts for a post-and-in blast, his fourth of the season. McAllister was sprung by defenceman Marc Hetnik for a shorthanded breakaway for Vernon’s other goal. The Medicine Hat native finished with a slick backhander past netminder Tyler Steel for his fourth of the year and first star. Kevin Lohan answered for Merritt later in the second period, assisted by Scott Patterson and Diego Cuglietta. Austin Smith was huge for Vernon, recording 37 stops for his 12th win. He helped Vernon kill of a tripping penalty to Brendan Persley as the Cents desperately sought the equalizer in the final minute. Steel, a Vernon product, made 20 saves.

“You can always count on Smitty to hold his own back there,” said McAllister. “He’s done that consistently all year.” This weekend will mark the final games for graduating veterans Brett Corkey, Hetnik and Andrew Tegeler. Corkey was recently named to the league’s second all-star team. The Viper captain is third in team scoring with 3-24-27 in 51 games. “We’re playing for them and we’re playing for each other,” said McAllister. “We have our pride to play for now. We’ve put two wins together and we’re going out with a statement. We want to set the tone for next year.” Persley made a statement of his own by using his reach to earn a decision in a scrap with Sam Johnson. The fight started after Johnson boarded McAllister in the first period and Persley went to his defence. SNAKE BITES: The Vees (35-14-0-5) are in a three-way tie for first overall with the Victoria Grizzlies (33-12-0-9) and Surrey Eagles (34-13-3-4).

Bulldogs show playoff bite Morning Star Staff
After a fifth-place regular season, the Five Star Awards Bulldogs weren’t expected to do much in the Okanagan North Bantam Super League playoffs. The Dawgs surprised everybody by going undefeated in the postseason, stopping the second-place Scotiabank Lightning 5-3 in Monday night’s final at Civic Arena. Mac Gourdine opened the Bulldogs’ offence when he took a pass from Tyler Semeniuk and then released a wrister low on the stick side past Lightning tender Isaac Waldemaras. Seth Blundell sniped in a shot unassisted early in the second to put the Dawgs up 2-0 before they ran into some penalty trouble (had four players in the box at one point). Brett Lambert, assisted by Sam Eggert and Landon Currie, and Currie, from Lambert, replied for the Bolts. Blundell put Five Star ahead by beating Rowan Wood over the shoulder, Nicolas Poirier and Tyler Yule drawing assists. The Lightning responded two minutes later with Currie converting from Leland Riguedell and Cam Mackenzie.
Riguedell used hustle to break up a number of odd-man rushes. The Bulldogs kept driving hard to the net and Brennan Seltzer buried the winner off a rebound from Lucas Williams. Bulldogs’ goalie Colton Annis was incredible in going the distance since goalie Rhys Larsen was injured and helped by being the gate guy for the playoffs. Blundell capped the hat trick for insurance. Earlier, the Dawgs clipped the Interior Savings Flyers 2-1 in a thrilling semifinal Sunday at Priest Valley Arena. Blundell and Gourdine bagged goals for the Bulldogs, while Kaylan Lawrence countered for the Flyers. The Dawgs’ defence of Gaman Nijjar, Tylee Cooper, Ryan Jakes and Tyler Semeniuk worked hard to keep the puck out of their zone. The Bulldogs iced the Lightning 5-3 Saturday in round-robin play at Nor-Val Sports Centre behind three goals by Blundell and singles from Seltzer and Semeniuk. Working hard on the offensive push were Connor Granger, Jessica Chillihitzia, Williams, Gourdine, Nick Demetrick, Poirier and Tyler Yule.

Denny’s bowed 9-3 to Lumby in roundrobin action Saturday. Tye Krause, Catt, Noah Clarke and Nicholas Teale each notched a pair, while Seehaver added a single for Lumby.

Coaches Steve Seltzer and Joe Gourdine praised the Dawgs “for their hard work, their intensity level and their never-say-die approach.” Added Seltzer: “Proud does not begin to describe how we feel about their effort. I think we surprised a lot of people coming into the playoffs at 7-1and in fifth place. It just proves that hard work pays off.” The Five Star crew are in the Valley finals this weekend in Lumby. The Bolts moved to Monday’s final by stopping Salmon Arm Fix Auto 7-4 in Sunday semifinal play. Currie and Lambert each scored twice with singles going to Sam Frisby, Lambert and Cam MacKenzie. The Corbett Office Supply Spartans took the B side final 3-2 over the Winfield Bruins with Alex Laurila scoring the overtime winner after a great rush where he undressed one d-man and then somehow got the puck past the goalie. Nick Mann, from Laurila, and Cathou Bauml with her first of the season off a great Mann pass, with three minutes left, had the Spartan regulation goals. Reece Schroeder and Laurila scored as the Spartans lost 6-2 to the North Okanagan Knights in peliminary play Saturday. The Nedco Dudes clipped the Talon Benefits Hawks 5-4 in the Midget Super League final Monday night at Wesbild Centre. Marcus Finn (2), Kristian Currie, Dallas Zupp and Julian Darkazanli scored for the Dudes, while Justin Mitchell, Adam Fenske, Sean Conners and Landen Ehnes replied for the Hawks. D-man Jeff Hiscoe had two assists. Julian Darkanzali tipped in a Finn shot to give the Dudes a 5-4 lead late in the second perid. Goalie Jared Larsen shut out the Hawks in the third period as the Dudes killed off a 5-on-3 power play and a 6-on-4 in the final minute. The Dudes begin the Valley championships tonight in Penticton with Clearwater, West Kelowna and the host team entered. Nedco, who also took the regular-season title, outlasted the host Lumby Stars 7-6 in a thrilling semifinal Sunday. It was 6-6 when Zupp (2+2) scored the winner, but the Stars enjoyed a late powerplay, and with their goalie pulled for a 6-on-4, pressed hard but Larsen made some impressive glove saves. Currie (2+1), Taylor Hamilton-Gee (1+2), Brenden Zupp and Garrett Dansereau completed the offence. Said Dudes’ head coach Darren Zupp: “The final was another battle in the trenches by two evenly-matched teams as was the semifinal against Lumby. I would like to thank our assistant coaches Daryl Brodoway and Brent Magnus for all their work with the team, the parents for their support, the players for their determination and desire in a game that could have gone either way, Lumby and Vernon #2 Hawks for their class in two of the best games this season. “And also to thank the referees for doing a good job despite the pressure and criticism they face. And last but not least Gene Anderson and crew for doing a good job running the Super League.” Mitchell scored four times and Landon Munk added one as the Hawks brushed back the Vernon Seed Orchard Ducks 5-2

Kael Black, on a first-period penalty shot, and Cody Webb scored for the Blues, who advanced to the final four with a 5-win over the Bannister GM Flames Saturday in Winfield. Reid Lawrence had a natural hat trick for the Blues, who received outstanding goaltending from the combo of Dylan Blazek and Sam Knox to avenge a 3-0 loss six days earlier to the Flames in the seeding round. Black jumpstarted the Blues’ offence with a snipe that went post-and-in behind
Flames’ goalie Reece Hawthorne at 18:02 of the first period. Colton Riguidel completed the mechanics’ scoring when he one-timed a Kim Whitelaw pass and squeaked it past Hawthorne. Nick Mitchell recorded the Flames’ goal on a coast-to-coast, third-period shorthanded dangle, beating Knox with a wrister.

Vernon rinks chase B.C. gold Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor
Brendan Cliff was in a Prince George hotel room Wednesday night watching the Brier on TV and nursing a nasty head cold. The 16-year-old planned to get more rest after a Thursday practice and then go hard today to start the Tim Hortons B.C. Juvenile Curling Championships. “Our goal is to medal, but for me, this being my last year, it is ‘let’s go for gold and win nationals,’” said Cliff, a Grade 11 student at Pleasant

Cliff is supported by a front end of VSS students Matt Young and Deven Schmidt and third Matt Schiman of Okanagan Landing School, the youngest on the team, at 12.

ohn and Oliver Jeffries were from Alabama and came to the Pacific Northwest in the 1850s to look for gold. Hearing about the market for cattle in British Columbia due to the gold rush, John Jeffries purchased cattle in Oregon in the fall of 1860 and drove them up the Cariboo Trail to the upper Fraser River. After holding the cattle in the Bonaparte River area until they were needed, Jeffries was able to sell them all at a reasonable profit. Encouraged by the prospects for the following year, he returned to Oregon to buy another large herd the folKen Mather lowing spring. In partnership with his brother, Oliver, Jeffries returned to British Columbia. During the summer of 1861 John and Oliver Jeffries drove a herd of cattle as far as Bridge Creek, at the 100 Mile post on the trail from Lillooet. Seeing the advantage of pasturing their cattle on the abundant grasslands in the area before driving them into the Cariboo gold fields, they decided to establish a ranch. The Jeffries brothers took up land at Bridge Creek and, for the next few years, were continually conveying land back and forth between them. They built Bridge Creek House in 1861. Known as “Jeffries Store,” the single-story, squared log structure contained a bar-room and kitchen, and a sleeping area in the attic. This small building was the first constructed on the site of what was to become the modern city of 100 Mile House. Like his fellow Southerner, Jerome Harper, Jeffries was aggressive in his attempt to control the beef market.
Ranch Tales
Perhaps his cleverest attempt at turning away competitors is shown in a letter from John Carmichael Haynes, who had taken over from Cox as the Customs Agent at Osoyoos Lake, to the Colonial Secretary in August of 1863: I have been told by a Mr. Murphy who passed this station ... that several cattle dealers having herds for this country were prevented from starting owing to reports circulated by a Mr. Jeffries and other interested persons to the effect that all livestock intended for this country would be stopped on the frontier by officers of the United States Government placed there for that purpose. Mr. Murphy also mentions that he heard Mr. Jeffries state publicly at Walla Walla that I had told him. I have not seen Mr. Jeffries for over a year … Mr. Harper who entered a drove of cattle on the 20th inst. told me that several stock owners were waiting in the vicinity of Walla Walla to ascertain as to whether they could ‘”get thru” or not.” Jeffries was nothing if not clever, for his story had a basis in truth. In late 1862, the United States government, as a Civil War measure, had passed an embargo on all livestock leaving the country. This embargo was never enforced in the Pacific Northwest and in September of 1863 was modified to permit the export of “stock raised in a state or territory bordered on the Pacific Ocean.” Nonetheless, the embargo, along with Jeffries’ story, discouraged many drovers from heading north and the Jeffries and Harper brothers saw significant profits that year. Unlike the Harper brothers, who remained in British Columbia after the Cariboo gold rush was over, the Jeffries brothers sold their assets and left the colony, perhaps returning to their beloved south after the Civil War. Ken Mather is curator at O’Keefe Ranch.
Loyalty points ban on hold Black Press
A proposal to ban B.C. pharmacies from giving out loyalty points to customers for prescription drug purchases has been put on hold. The controversial idea, which drew fire from point-collecting cardholders, is being shelved until the fall, when the College of Pharmacists of B.C. may reconsider it. The regulatory body still wants to block pharmacies from awarding points to their loyalty card holders due to concern the rewards are a powerful lure that spur some customers to make poor decisions when buying medicine – harming their health or costing the system more money. “It’s still something we’re very much moving forward with,” said spokesperson Mykle Ludvigsen. He said the college board, which decided Feb. 15 against including the points ban in a set of other bylaw changes now
advancing, decided more public engagement was needed. “We’re very aware there was a reaction to it,” Ludvigsen said. Any adjustment of the proposal would result in a new round of public input ahead of a new vote of the pharmacists’ college board. The health minister can then veto the change but the delay past the May provincial election means the final decision will fall to the next
government. The NDP hasn’t taken a position on the issue. The college’s rationale for the ban is some customers wait longer than they should to fill a prescription in order to get a bigger points bonus offered at a later date. It also warned patients with third-party insurance who don’t pay out of pocket may keep refilling a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points. The college calls that
a drain on limited health care dollars and says drugs that are never used by the intended patient may be abused by others or diverted to the illegal drug trade. The pharmacists’ body also objects on privacy grounds to the gathering of data as part of loyalty card programs. The college hopes a points ban will result in patients choosing a pharmacy or pharmacist on their own merits, not inducements.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Difficult developments aren’t likely to intimidate you, and you’ll have no trouble handling them competently. Yet, surprisingly, you could get upset over something that should be fun. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although your mate’s point of view may be on the somber side, you’ll see only the positive aspect of things. Try to help brighten his or her perspective as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Even if you feel you deserve far better, try to be grateful for what you get. Do your best to keep your expectations within reasonable bounds. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Guard against inclinations to speculate in unfamiliar areas. It’s never a good day to gamble on things about which you know little or nothing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Although you’ll have a great deal of compassion for others, you aren’t likely to know how to express it. At least you’ll know why your behavior is eliciting a negative response. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Do not expect to get more labor out of co-workers than you’re prepared to give yourself. If you want them to work hard, you’ll need to do the same. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be generous with those who need it, but be careful not to be manipulated by someone who’s asking for something that he or she doesn’t deserve.

Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. What can I do?
A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder
READ THE LEAD TO IMPROVE DEFENSE
J. William Fulbright, a senator from Arkansas for 30 years and the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said, “We must dare to think ‘unthinkable’ thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us.” That certainly applies to bridge players. In today’s deal, look at the North and East hands. South is in four hearts. West leads the club nine: three, ace, jack. How should East plan the defense? North’s two-diamond response was a transfer bid, showing five or more hearts. South’s jump to three hearts, a superaccept, promised a
maximum with four hearts and a doubleton somewhere. Bridge is full of little ditties that were designed to help the less capable players. Here, many Easts will think of “return partner’s lead.” Yesterday we learned that playing a club back at trick two is not necessarily fatal. A crafty South will win that trick and cash his third club, discarding a spade from the dummy before taking the heart finesse. But the defense can still triumph. However, at trick one, East should analyze his partner’s lead. It must be top of nothing. So why continue clubs? It cannot help. Instead, East should shift to a spade or diamond, and given the dummy, a spade seems the natural choice.
South does best to win with his ace and cash his two clubs, discarding a spade from the dummy. But East should note his partner’s discouraging spade two. Then, when in with the heart king, East should cash the diamond ace and (seeing West’s encouraging nine) continue with another diamond to defeat the contract.

Have you heard?
Oliver on oil,gas and coal
F
ederal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver attended last week’s international conference in Vancouver on liquefied natural gas development. I spoke with him about Canada’s energy exports and emissions. Here are excerpts from that discussion: TF: President Barack Obama’s recent state of union address seemed to hint at approval for the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to U.S. refineries, with perhaps some measure to go along with it like a carbon cap and trade market. Your government has Tom Fletcher backed North American cap and trade before. Would you do it again? JO: No, we’re not thinking about that at all. The U.S. Congress is opposed to that concept from what I understand. TF: Your party ran ads targeting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and equating cap and trade with a carbon tax. They’re not the same, are they? JO: The end result is that taxes increase because of how we handle carbon. It hasn’t been successful in Europe at all. Anyway, it’s not part of our thinking. We are making significant progress on greenhouse gas emissions. Our recent regulations regarding heavy-duty vehicles, the previous rules regarding cars and light trucks, which are identical to the U.S., are going to be helpful. And also the rules relating to coal-fired electricity. It’s our objective to see all those coal plants closed, and in that regard we’re certainly ahead of the U.S. Coal is contributing 40 times the greenhouse gas emissions of the oil sands. And actually the oil sands are less than half the emissions from coalfired electricity in the state of Illinois. We’re moving with the U.S. on the over-arching objective of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent from 2005 to 2020, but we’re
B.C. Views
also doing other things that the U.S. hasn’t yet decided to do. We’ve been approaching the reduction of emissions on a sectoral basis, and the next area of focus will be regulations in the oil and gas sector. TF: You’re comfortable with the idea that exporting LNG that replaces coal is an appropriate step at this time, one that’s doable as opposed to these Kyoto-type gestures? JO: It is doable. And on a global basis, this would be a very significant development. If China, for example, could significantly move from coal to gas, that would have a huge impact. Canada’s small. We’re about two per cent of global emissions. We have to do our part, that’s the responsible thing to do, but it’s the big emitters that are going to make the difference to global emissions. TF: The International Energy Agency talks about self-sufficiency in the U.S., oil and gas, by 2035. What does that mean for the Canadian economy? JO: Firstly, I don’t think they’re going to be self-sufficient in oil. North America will be selfsufficient in gas and oil. What it means is, for gas we’re going to have to find new markets, and for oil we’re going to have to find markets to sustain the growth in supply. The U.S. will still be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands. Right now we’re losing about $50 million a day because of the crude oil bottleneck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our government in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

Artists honoured Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
A few familiar faces were on hand to pick up 2013 Okanagan Arts Awards on Saturday. Vernon residents Michelle Loughery and Matthew Brown both won in their respective categories at the awards ceremony held in the Kelowna Community Theatre. Loughery, best known for the historical murals she has painted, with the help of disadvantaged and at-risk youth, in both Vernon and Merritt, was presented with the arts educator award. “It was very wonderful to win this award as arts educator because as a self-taught artist, to be given an award that recognizes your work, by your peers is extremely exciting and very rewarding,” said Loughery. “To be selected to stand alongside so many talented individuals was a huge honour. Recognizing that community arts is a part of art education is important, as the arts in communities are the threads that tie a community together. It can bring community to places society has deemed unfit, connect people across racial and social divides, and encourage individuals to participate in social imagery conversations.” Loughery’s next project is the Sunflower Project, a series of murals that will reflect the internment of Ukrainian and other Eastern Europeans in Canada during the First World War. The project will start with a mural on the Sutton building in downtown Vernon, and will be extended to other locations across Canada. Brown, owner of downtown Vernon’s one-year-old arts-creative centre, The Hub Arts Collective, was the recipient of this year’s theatre

Bouge de là opens The Studio Kristin Froneman

The language of dance needs no interpreter. This will be apparent when Montréal’s Bouge de là brings its award-winning performance of L’atelier (The Studio) to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre on Sunday. Already a success in Québec, where it was launched, The Studio is being toured around B.C. for the first time. “The Studio is an ode to the creative spirit that lies within each of us, exploring colours and drawings of motion, transporting young audiences into an enchanting world,” said Nicolas Labelle, one of the performers in the show. “Teenagers, parents and children, everybody likes it. There are so many states of understanding in it that anyone can really appreciate it.” Set in an artist’s studio, where ideas burst forth, blending togeth-
er dance, drama, colour and movement, The Studio features Bouge de là’s artistic director Audrey Bergeron, along with Labelle, JeanFrançois Légaré and Jessica Serli. On stage, they open a magical treasure chest, playing with everything they find: fabric, frames, paintings and props and accessories of all sorts. With their assorted props in hand, the dancers alter, reshape and transform the objects in a game where there is only one rule — to have fun “It has a really playful feel,” said Labelle. “We play with everything used for painting through dance.” Paintings not only spring to life before the audience’s eyes, they transform into movement and dance driven by the whims and imagination of the performers, said Labelle. “It really is like a game for us as the interpreters in the show” he said. “It’s very colourful and playful and you don’t need an understanding of visual arts or dance to
appreciate it.” A unique multi-media performance, the actions and movements of the dancers are also processed and transformed by image capture software, and are then projected as a live on-stage broadcast, adding a new dimension to the performance. “There are two cameras on stage filming us dancing and moving,” said Labelle. “It’s transformed through a computer and re-projected on stage and we’re actually creating visual art through video.” The show has also captured the attention of the theatre world. Besides a Dora Mavor Moore award, given to Canadian theatres, in the young audiences division, The Studio picked up the Prix Rideau award for touring. The Studio takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday for two performances at 2 and 4 p.m. Tickets are $12 (all seats) at the Ticket Seller box office, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.

A professional actor, Brown is also a volunteer director with Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre. He took home the best director award as well as best production for his direction of Powerhouse’s The Woman in Black at the 2012 Mainstage Awards, featuring the best in community theatre from across B.C. He also instructs drama and is involved with children’s theatre around the Okanagan. In all, 45 nominees, their guests and local art supporters were treated to an elegant evening, while each of award recipients was presented with an exquisitely designed glass award created by Lake Country glass artist Bruce Taiji.

Gallery Vertigo exhibition examines Idle No More movement
Morning Star Staff
A new exhibition at Gallery Vertigo aims to shed light on the dark, hidden history that Canada continues to harbor towards its indigenous population. Interdisciplinary artist Sonny Assu is originally from Vancouver, now living in Montreal. A member of the We Wai Kai First Nation at Cape Mudge on Quadra Island, he graduated from Emily Carr University in 2002, and has gone on to show his work at the Vancouver Art Gallery, the National Art Gallery of Canada
and at New York’s Museum of Art. “It is quite something we have been able to get an exhibition of Sonny’s work in our community,” said Vertigo’s past director Heidi Maddess, who worked to bring Assu’s exhibition, There Is Hope, If We Rise, to Vernon. The exhibition situates itself in the discourse of the recent Idle No More movement, where First Nation groups across Canada fought for indigenous rights. “The work was inspired by Shepard Fairey’s iconic Hope poster that used the discourse and

aesthetics of propaganda imagery to convey a sense of hope to the American people during President Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign,” said Assu in his artist’s statement. “The Idle No More movement is a powerful movement that picks up where Occupy left off and supersedes the Québec student movement by tackling a clear number of issues that have social, political, and environmental ramifications for all Canadians.” To accompany Assu’s exhibition, Vertigo is also showing the work of the Kama?

Creative Aboriginal Arts Collective Society. The collective is comprised of Okanagan Nation established and emerging artists who have come together to support aboriginal interdisciplinary and multimedia arts development, education and production. Artists in the joint exhibition include Alex Lezard, Pierre Richard, Seth Tonasket, Reynold Gabriel and Val Chiba. Both exhibitions open at Gallery Vertigo, #1-3001-31st St., Saturday with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

unearthing in what is now dozens of posthumous albums under Jimi Hendrix’s name. They continually reinforce one fact: he was a creative visionary who loved to record. These releases can also go over old ground, revisiting unfinished ideas that weren’t meant for release, under the guise of offering a glimpse into Hendrix’s creative process. For serious fans, they rarely present anything unfamiliar. People, Hell and Angels offers up some pleasant surprises, though. The 12 tracks running from spring 1968 to August 1970
are demo ideas of songs in progress, some of them nearing final arrangement. None of the songs feature the original Experience (Hendrix, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) and they capture Hendrix as he moves beyond that group’s sound for bluesier, funkier sounds that incorporate cleaner guitar tones, horns, keyboards and guest musicians. The most important part of this release is the raw, gritty mix and the comfortable groove that runs through the music. This is surprising considering the varying dates of the recordings and personnel. Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies rhythm section of Buddy Miles (drums) and Billy Cox (bass) appears on many songs, bringing a funky backbone to Hendrix’s flights of fancy. The material is a mixed bag. For a discerning fan, most of this music has appeared elsewhere and it’s down to which take is used. So when People, Hell and Angels, like many other Hendrix releases, is presented as having “previously unreleased” material, it’s down to take three or take 12, or a slight variation on arrangement, but essentially the same song. Let’s look at the songs here:
JimiHendrix.com
The latest posthumous release of “previously unreleased” Hendrix tracks offers few surprises. Earth Blues, a lateperiod Hendrix track, was first released on Rainbow Bridge in 1971 in fuller form (guitar overdubs, backing vocals). The ’71 track is an explosive cosmic funk song. This one is basic and unfinished sounding, a demo that sounds cool because it’s well recorded. Somewhere is notable for having Stephen Stills on bass and Buddy Miles on drums. An earlier release was on the controversial 1975 album, Crash Landing, where producer Alan Douglas wiped the original backing tracks and replaced them with studio musicians. Some of this song’s lyrics also later ended up on Earth Blues (Rainbow Bridge version). This highlights a difference from the

work Hendrix completed in his lifetime. His usual poetically hallucinogenic lyrics aren’t in abundance on this compilation. But at the 2:00 mark in Somewhere, Hendrix substitutes his guitar in place of lyric poetry in a section that’s one of the album’s highlights (a previously unheard one, as well). Hear My Train ‘A Comin’ is yet another song that appears on several Hendrix albums in different versions. This version is a steadyon bluesy drive with the Cox-Miles rhythm section, a solid and spacey blues workout with snarly Hendrix guitar tone. When heard against an earlier version (Rainbow Bridge again!) it falls short only because of the previous version’s searing, apocalyptic solo – one of Hendrix’s live high points. Bleeding Heart also has antecedents (Albert Hall, Valleys of Neptune) but this is a fresh, clean blues-jam that sounds tight, if pedestrian. Here things get a bit weird and interesting. Let Me Move You is Hendrix guesting on saxophonist/vocalist Lonnie Youngblood’s R&B/blues rave up. This track has high energy rhythm work and a cool squealing sax intro. Isabella was first heard on 1972’s War Heroes in a more complete form than is offered here. Also, the song appeared in Hendrix’s Woodstock set medley in full sonic glory. This version is the early base for Hendrix’s later spacefunk forages on the song.

Fairytale is a cinematic giant
Jack the Giant Slayer
A
tiny sack of magic beans, a farm boy looking for adventure, a beautiful princess seeking autonomy, a beanstalk stretching into the sky, and an army of hungry giants. In Jack the Giant Slayer, two traditional fairy tales come to life. Taylor & Howe We say, “It’s a fun, action-packed spectacle.” TAYLOR: This film was a lot of fun. It’s not without its faults, but they are minor, and not the kinds of things that minors would notice. The film strives to be something more than it is, on the same par for romance as The Princess Bride, achieving the same level of action as The Goonies. Jack the Giant Slayer doesn’t quite hit this mark, but it’s very good and I wouldn’t hesitate to take any little boy or girl who doesn’t scare too easily. HOWE: I really enjoyed this. What I found interesting was instead of having only one giant to deal with, you had a whole army of these towering foes. This coupled along with the not-your-regular beanstalk storyline gave a nice twist to the fairytale. I agree with you about taking a younger audience to watch this, but there are a couple of naughty words used throughout. TAYLOR: I was surprised at how much I liked this movie. The action sequences really pulled me in. Maybe it’s

Nicholas Hoult climbs back up the beanstalk as Jack in Jack the Giant Slayer. because the giants are so big the filmmakers had to pull the audience back and actually show the action. I like it when you’re not having to guess at what is going on. HOWE: The CGI was the best I have seen in a long time, but yet again I ask myself, did they really have to make it in 3D? There was one part in Jack that they could have really used it better, but they cheaped out. Instead of the windmill flying at you making you want to duck for cover, it goes winging past you on the screen. TAYLOR: There is something for kids of all ages in this film. Even jaded old film nerds should be able to lose themselves in this one. There’s lots of
New LiNe CiNema
fighting, quite a bit of killing (the giant’s preferred method of murdering men is to eat them), but only one instance of what I would call gore, and the scares are of a variety fitting a fantasy film about giants. Having said that, I think anyone with even only the slightest interest in seeing this film should go, regardless of their age. You won’t be disappointed. We’ve seen a lot of fairytales put to the big screen in the last year, Jack and the Giant Slayer is probably the best of them. — Howe gives Jack the Giant Slayer 3.5 trees on fire out of 5. — Taylor gives it 3.5 regal supporting roles out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Breaking down Hendrix’s ‘unreleased’ tracks Continued from B2
Easy Blues is a very cool, relaxed jazz-rock jam that’s heavy on the laid-back progression. An almost identical version is on Nine to the Universe. This doesn’t need to be here. Crash Landing is an illuminating discovery, rare amongst this bunch. This song, a rock/ funk cautionary drug tale, was the title track on the 1975 Alan Douglas produced album. Here is the original version with the original musicians intact. This is a unique song with gritty music and biting lyrics – a nice surprise.
Inside Out is a demo track for extreme Hendrix fans. This song later evolved into the last section of Ezy Rider on 1971’s Cry of Love. It sounded brilliant there. Hey Gypsy Boy is a beautiful early demo version of Hey Baby (New Rising Sun) which first appeared on 1971’s Rainbow Bridge. This version has a sensitive vocal performance and lovely Univibe guitar work, but it has heavy competition against the haunting ‘71 Hey Baby which is complete. Mojo Man is Hendrix’s guitar guesting on his friend’s (Albert Allen of the Ghetto Fighters)
Superfly urban bad-ass track. It just needs Isaac Hayes. Last is Villanova Junction Blues, an ethereal instrumental that was best heard in Hendrix’s Woodstock performance, an iconic moment that sums up a passing era that didn’t realize it was over. It evokes movement and meditation and here it’s delicate and exploratory, but short and out of context. Most of the music here will be familiar, ––but there are some new passages and the mix is clean and gritty, showing Hendrix in a bluesy setting where he sounds relaxed.

Marilyn Madiros (left) and Kristy Hennings, reference librarian, Vernon Branch Okanagan Regional Library, talk about selections for the Adult Book Club, which is open to the public to attend one or several meetings, held Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. with the next meeting March 23.
Discussing a good read cara brady Morning Star Staff
Marilyn Mardiros was looking for a book club last fall. She found the Adult Book Club at Vernon Library. “I wanted a club with a variety of people from all walks of life. They hooked me. The diversity of opinion is awe-inspiring. I listen and think, ‘I never thought about it that way,’” she said. The Adult Book Club was started by reference librarian Kristy Hennings, who chose the first round of books for the club, which has been meeting once a month since last September. “I knew there was a demand for a book club in town because there are more than 20 private book clubs,” she said. “I always like to think of ways to get people to the library and I was curious about who would show up. People tell me that they would never have read some of the books otherwise and that they enjoy discussing them in a group. “I find it really exciting because I learn so much from the observations and life

experiences of people and how they react to the ideas in the books.” Mardiros agreed that she would not have thought to read some of the books but was interested in all of them. “We learn about the authors and the circumstances in which the book was written,” she said. “We encourage people not to see the movie first. I hadn’t read novels for years but this gave me permission to get into areas that I haven’t got into before. Being in the club has affected how I think about other books and things I hear on the news. People can stay behind to continue the discussion and get to know each other. Some people in the group go out for coffee together at other times. “You discover new writers. I discovered Erik Larson. People don’t need to come to every meeting of the club, just when they want. And there’s no cost.” Hennings said even if people didn’t enjoy the book, she welcomes them to the meetings. “They can tell us why they didn’t like it, or just listen if they don’t want to com-
ment,” she said. The library has extra copies of book club books (and eBooks) available so that people don’t have to buy the books unless they want to. “There’s so much good stuff to read and we already have some great suggestions from the club for the next session. People are interested in taking it to the next level and into more depth. We hope we get even more members for more perspectives,” said Hennings. Mar diros is already looking forward to the next season. “Every book is different and new people come each time. This is a good thing for the community. The library is such a vital part of the community,” she said. The Adult Book Club meets one Saturday a month from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The next meeting, to discuss We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, is March 23. The book for April is Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. For more information see www.orl.bc.ca.

ear Annie: My boyfriend’s parents are truly wonderful people, but they have taught their son to rely solely on them. He is in his 50s, and they still pay his bills and give him loans, often for “toys” rather than something necessary. I am self-sufficient. I borrow money from no one, pay my bills and am on a limited budget. I knew my boyfriend was rather self-centered before we moved in together. We discuss nothing about our household, but he talks to his parents about our finances. When they tell him to do something, he complies, even if I am against it. This is causing problems in our relationship. I am afraid my only option is to leave.
Tied to the apron strings
annie's mailbox

I love him, but I feel I could never measure up to his parents, and they will keep him a little boy forever. Our relationship needs to move to the next level, but it is impossible with them hanging on for dear life. — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: A man in his 50s who still expects his parents to pay his bills and buy him toys is not a responsible adult, and we cannot promise he ever will be. Unless you can convince him or
his parents that their indulgence is not in his best interests, you will be fighting an uphill battle. Sorry. Dear Annie: I am a recovering meth addict. I’ve been clean for more than five years. However, during my druggie days, I was pregnant five times. I miscarried all of the babies due to my addiction. I am very ashamed of my past. Every day, I live with the guilt of what I did to my innocent unborn children. In the past five years, God has blessed me with two wonderful sons, whom I love more than anything. But how do I deal with the guilt? I have tried talking to friends and family, but I’m judged a lot. It’s eating away at me. — W. Dear W.: Please
speak to someone who can be impartial about your past and help you deal with your guilt in a way that allows you to forgive yourself. Your doctor can refer you to a counselor, or you could contact any graduate school counseling department, medical school psychology department, United Way, the YMCA, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org) and the Abraham Low Self-Help Systems at lowselfhelpsystems.org. Dear Annie: Money is a constant issue in our house. I need my wife to quit her parttime job at a superstore and find one with a better salary. She knows this. But every time I bring it up, she gets angry and defensive and says that I am
calling her lazy. I am totally not saying that. She’s a hard worker. We have a total of $50 in savings. We also have a young son and hope to have another child. I’d like to move into a house. To accomplish this, we need two full-time salaries. How do I bring this up without making my wife angry? I love her dearly. — Grand Rapids, Mich. Dear Grand Rapids: Instead of insisting that your wife find a betterpaying job, try talking to her about why she wants to stay where she is. She may love her job. She may be afraid to look elsewhere. She might want to stay home with the kids and believe you should be the one to get a different job. And of course,
Song for St. DaviD
there may be other issues of which you are unaware. Tell her that you are worried about your financial situation, and ask, gently, why she is so reluctant to
deal with it. But keep in mind that while nice, a house is not a requirement for raising a family. Many couples manage just fine without one.

Bible Numerology. John 21:11: “Simon Peter went up and drew the net full of great fishes, 153, and for all these there were so many the net was not broken.” Of these are all kinds of men enclosed in the gospel net. They are a symbol of the saved by the power of God. The Divine character is stamped on this miracle by the number of fisherman present - 7. We see that amongst the multitudes who receive blessings from Christ there are recorded exactly 153 special individual classes!

UBCO arts and science centre integrates minds Morning Star Staff
Students and their professors have a strikingly beautiful, highly functional and energyefficient new building in which to study and conduct research at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. The multi-purpose Arts and Sciences Centre houses classrooms, research and teaching labs, offices, student commons, and two large lecture theatres. Stephen Toope, UBC
president, believes the $41.4-million facility is a place of discovery. “Scholars will be able to innovate and collaborate with their peers around the world within the facilities of this new Arts and Sciences Centre,” said Toope. “It will enable UBC’s best academic minds to integrate their knowledge and wisdom with state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional learning experiences, ensuring our students get the best
education available.” The 7,800-squaremetre, four-storey structure was designed by Vancouver-based Kasian Architecture Interior Design and Planning in partnership with HMA Architects of Kelowna, with construction managed by Stuart Olson Dominion Construction. The Arts and Sciences Centre provides increased space for the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, and the
Faculty of Health and Social Development. Among the many laboratories and centres of research calling the new building home are: n The Centre for
the Advancement of Psychological Science and Law n The Centre for Optimization, Convex Analysis and Nonsmooth Analysis
n The Centre for the Study of Services to Children and Families n There is also the Interprofessional Clinic, which brings together expertise from
psychology, social work and nursing to provide mental and psychosocial health services to individuals and families in Okanagan communities.

College tests B.C.’s skills Morning Star Staff
More than 110 high school students from Revelstoke to Osoyoos will be testing their trades and technology skills at the annual SkillsBC Regional Competitions today at Okanagan College. This marks the 17th year Okanagan College has held the event, which takes place from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Kelowna campus. Students will demonstrate their skills in a variety of trades and technology fields including electronics, automotive, welding and graphic design, along with use of CAD for both architectural and mechanical design. “These are highly complex and in-demand fields,” said co-ordinator Dianne Holm. “Providing young students with access to these skills at an early age, and exposure to competitions such
as this, helps to keep them engaged so they will become our next generation of highly skilled workers.” The regional competition makes up just part of the college’s annual Skilled Trades and Technology Event. There is also a junior skills competition with Grade 6 to 10 students racing their gravity vehicles (made only of wood or plastic with no mechanical or even rubber band assistance) down a ramp. The event will be open to the public throughout the day with guided tours through the trade shops and the culinary arts kitchen. In addition, a variety of activity stations will be open featuring, among other things, a robotics demonstration, and even a chance to take apart and reassemble the ignition system for a small aircraft engine. For a complete schedule of the day’s events and live webcasting go to, www.okanagan.bc.ca/skillsbc.

Ian Hamilton Davidson
We regret to announce the death of Ian Hamilton Davidson in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital on March 1st, 2013 at the age of 67 years. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Ian’s Life which will be held at the end of March. A full obituary will be placed in this newspaper closer to the date of this gathering.

E. S. (Shirley) Jefferson Rowbotham (nee LePage) March 3, 1923 – March 1, 2013 An energetic and visionary woman, Shirley died peacefully just two days before her 90th birthday in Vernon, BC. Raised in a family of seven children on a farm in rural Quebec, Shirley understood the value of community, cooperation and hard work. Learning the lessons of living in a Protestant family in a Catholic community, Shirley took on challenges with a fearless determination and a Joie de Vivre which touched all who knew her. During her early years, she was one of the first women to drive a commercial delivery vehicle in Quebec City, in the evenings she sang with Georges Amyot’s Big Band Orchestra and on alternate days, she modeled clothing. Leaving Quebec to expand her options, she enjoyed great success as a TV and radio personality in Victoria, BC, including guiding little ‘do-bees’ as Miss Shirley on the live TV children’s program Romper Room, providing hints for the home during the Noon Show or doing interviews on the street for CKDA radio. Retiring to the Okanagan in the mid 1970s, Shirley spent many years as a dedicated volunteer in Osoyoos, BC and was a very successful fundraiser for projects including the South Okanagan Hospital and her pet project, transforming an area of roadside rubble into the stunning Pioneer Walkway in Osoyoos. Shirley was very proud of this project and took special pride in the fact that it only required two meetings to make it happen. The first in 1992 to discuss and develop ideas for the walkway with five other women and the second to plan the grand opening in June 1993. The walkway project continued to evolve and over the next 15 years, Shirley was on the job weeding, planting flowers, maintaining the tables and benches, hauling out debris and insuring that the walkway would always be a beautiful respite stop for weary travelers. Her vision for the completed walkway included the design and construction of the Millennium Fountain that was built in 2000 and a town clock that was dedicated in 2007. Neither project would have been possible without her ability to raise funds and sell the vision.
the classifieds
Her home in Osoyoos was a social hub and had a door plaque given by friends that read “Osoyoos Activity Centre”. Any party she organized always included lots of great food, great music and laughter accompanied by some pretty amazing cocktails poured generously by her husband John.
Personals
Unbeknownst to Shirley, during the dedication of the walkway clock in 2007, the Town of Osoyoos unveiled another plaque that had been installed. It reads….”From smallest to largest undertaking, you were always there to see it through”.

Her family would like to thank the staff of 3 North at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and also at Polson Extended Care for the warmth, care and compassion they showed to Shirley in her final months. Shirley did not want to have a service so in lieu of flowers, drink a few Manhattans, invite some friends over to share a few laughs and good conversation; then go out and do something nice for your community…not necessarily in that order.
