They are industrious and not afraid to roll up their sleeves. The crew at Venture Training is looking for projects to keep them active, particularly since Greater Vernon’s recycling centre was destroyed by fire. “We are looking for people in the community that have ideas or projects that we can be involved in,” said Eileen Howells, executive director of the Vernon and District Association for Community Living. The fire at the recycling facility impacted 38 clients who were involved in sorting. Other activities have been found for them on a short-term basis,

including styrofoam recycling and Venture’s wood shop. Others are controlling litter at the Greater Vernon landfill while some clients are assembling wooden stakes for the heli-skiing industry. Some landscaping work also exists.

“With some individuals we have transitioned them into our day program and social opportunities because of their age and physical abilities,” said Ed Columbus, VDACL operations director. Those involved in work projects receive a training allowance, but the primary goal is to develop skills and ensure that they are involved in the community. That’s why VDACL is turning to local residents and businesses to see if there are other activities its clients could tackle. “They may have one idea that changes the lives of the people we assist,” said Howells.

Athletes look to fill void with facility richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Bill Glover loves nothing more than heading out for a run, but that’s increasingly challenging. Greater Vernon doesn’t have a regulation-sized track with a rubberized surface, so the 67-year-old must contend with the existing track at Polson Park, which is not oval in shape and is infamous for potholes. “I curse when I see the track because one side will be nothing but mud because of irrigation over night,” said Glover, a B.C. Seniors Games athlete. Paul Anderson almost didn’t move to Vernon because of what he considers an inadequate track. “When I went to Kamloops to look, I thought I had died and gone to heaven because of their sports facility,” said the 55-yearold triathelete. Given their experiences, Glover and Anderson are part of a team promoting the borrowing of $7.5 million April 6 for a sports field and athletics facility at Okanagan College. “People will move here because of the facility. People have to be drawn to a community,” said Anderson. Beyond seniors, youth have been negatively impacted by the lack of an approved track. There are no track programs in local secondary schools and membership in Vernon Triple A Track and Field has largely stagnated. “I drive kids to Kelowna and Kamloops for training,” said Ian

Mario bartel/black press

Greater Vernon residents will vote April 6 on borrowing funds for a sports facility with a regulation-sized track. Cameron, Vernon Triple A head coach, adding that districts and zones can’t be held here. The Polson track turns into a slick surface when it rains and there isn’t sufficient room to throw the javelin or hammer. “We’re a track club that can’t train in all of the events,” said Cameron. Special Olympics athletes have had to abandon Polson Park. “It’s difficult for them because of the unevenness of the track,”

said Cameron. The inner field of the proposed athletics facility would also be used by Vernon Minor Football. “Seaton doesn’t have a field and Grahame Park (Fulton school) is available sometimes,” said Bill Tarr, a long-time coach, adding, though, that there is stiff competition with other sports organizations for school fields. None of the school fields have change rooms and, in some cases, no accessible washrooms.

“Parents coming from Kelowna, Penticton and the Coast just laugh at us,” said Tarr. Some football is played on the DND baseball diamonds, but the cleats dig up the outfields, creating safety concerns and driving up repair costs. Football registration is kept low because of the lack of facilities. Tarr is convinced there is a need for the proposed complex at the college and particularly the artifical turf.

Revitalization work begins Monday

Morning Star Staff

Motorists travelling through downtown Vernon have been put on notice. Revitalization construction will begin Monday on 30th Avenue. “The road will be closed to vehicle traffic from 33rd to 35th streets,” said Mark Dowhaniuk, infrastructure engineer. “Initially, pedestrians will be able to get to the businesses via the sidewalks which

will be intact while the road construction is happening. Businesses will be open during the construction and they appreciate the public’s support.” Vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be redirected around the construction as necessary. The transit stop that is located on the south side of the downtown Safeway will be relocated to 35th Street by Simply

Delicious. “Construction is weather dependent and is slated to be complete in early July,” said Dowhaniuk. Revitalization will cost $2.4 million and the funds are coming from the City of Vernon and property owners within the two blocks. All project information is posted at www.vernon.ca/30ave.

“It can be used time after time,” he said, adding that natural grass can be damaged from constant use and requires down periods to recover. Cameron anticipates a resurgence in track sports. “When this (complex) goes through, the numbers will increase,” he said. Other sports that could also utilize the athletics facility are field lacrosse, rugby and ultimate frisbee, as well as local residents walking and running. Vernon Jubilee Hospital is considering health programs (heart smart/physio-recovery) because of the close proximity of the proposed site. There have been suggestions of Okanagan College using the facility to launch sports education courses, as well as recreational offerings for students. “If we get the track, it will be great for me but it will be great for the entire community,” said Anderson, who trains three to four hours a day. “When you see kids going to Kelowna or Lumby for track, it boggles my mind.” The referendum to borrow $7.5 million will be held April 6 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with polls at Priest Valley Gym, Ellison Elementary, Colstream Elementary and BX Elementary. Advance polls run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. March 27 and April 3 at the Schubert Centre, the Coldstream municipal office and the regional district office.

News Officer threatened with hammer ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP had to use pepper spray to subdue a distraught individual in Okanagan Landing. Shortly after 9 a.m. Monday, Vernon officers responded to a report of a domestic assault in the 6900 block of Tronson Road. “When the first officer arrived on the scene, he noticed a man smashing the window of a car with a hammer,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “When the officer spoke to the suspect and told him to drop the hammer, the suspect Gord Molendyk turned and approached our officer in a threatening manner. “Our officer feared for his safety and drew his sidearm. The suspect continued to approach while our officer shouted at him to drop the hammer before he turned and walked away.” Molendyk said the officer was able to approach the suspect a second time a few minutes later and deployed pepper spray, which had the desired effect and the suspect gave up.

Landing fire model discussed Morning Star Staff

Okanagan Landing residents have an opportunity to learn about how fire services are provided. The Okanagan Landing Community Association is hosting a a town hall meeting Wednesday on the Vernon Fire Department’s recent change to its command structure. “Chief Keith Green has graciously agreed to speak to Landing residents,” said Ron Heuman, with the association. The Landing was served for decades by the Okanagan Landing Volunteer Firefighters Keith Green Association. However, the city ended the contract Jan. 31 and moved towards a model that sees the Landing hall administered out of the downtown hall. There was considerable debate over the city’s decision and many Landing firefighters and residents protested the move. Heuman hopes the debate will not flare up again. “This meeting is to inform residents of the current fire services structure and not rehash any previous arrangements prior to Feb. 1,” he said. The town hall meeting will be held at Paddlewheel Park Community Hall Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Molendyk praised the officer for keeping his head in order to resolve a sticky situation. “More and more our officers experience this type of behavior from suspects they deal with within our communities,” he said. “It is a credit to the clear thinking of this senior officer that this case ended without anyone being hurt.” The man, 52, was taken into custody and is facing numerous charges in relation to uttering threats and assault. He was expected to appear in Vernon Provincial Court Wednesday.

Premier makes ‘informal’ visit to Vernon RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There was also a brief, unexpected phone call to The Morning Star editorial department in which Clark discussed why she was in Vernon and her other activities in the valley. But it appears there was also some time to increase the profile of Clark and the Liberal Party while she was in Vernon. “She did a little main streeting and she went into Subway to make sandwiches,” said

Foster. Foster anticipates that Clark will be back in Vernon during the campaign leading up to the May provincial election. Clark was in Kelowna Wednesday to promote the benefits of a new small business accord. While in Kelowna, she said the Liberals will win the election despite its low standings in the polls compared to the NDP. “I’m a fighter. I know I’m going in as the underdog. I’m OK with that. I’m going to defy the odds.” — with notes from the Kelowna Capital News

Regional district approves 2013 budget RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of North Okanagan’s budget has grown slightly. On Wednesday, directors adopted the 2013 budget, which will see the overall tax requisition climb by $251,000 or 1.28 per cent. “You can always do better but it’s pretty well done,” said chairperson Patrick Nicol of the process that developed the budget. Each community is requisitioned taxes based

on services it receives from RDNO, and that varies. In fact, the budget impact can vary in neighbourhoods depending on what services are in place such as street lights and recycling. Some functions have decreased their tax requisitions or held the line while others have jumped. “The largest increase is transit and that relates to the second bus to the University of B.C. Okanagan,” said David Sewell, general manager of finance. The budget for Greater Vernon parks and recreation is up 1.8 per cent.

Spring ahead

or me, the first sign of spring is the ritual of setting the clocks to daylight saving time. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to change the time on most of my clocks. My thermostats have clocks, as do the microwave, the car, the fridge, the stove, the teakettle, the coffee maker, the phone and the printer. My actual clock changes the time automatically, as does my computer. At least I thought it did. We took a trip four time zones away a few weeks ago, and I got out of bed in a strange hotel room in the dark of night. I didn’t want to wake Sue, so I peeked under the lid of my computer tablet to Jim Mullen check the time: 6 a.m. Sue wouldn’t be up for a couple of hours at least, so I got dressed and went out to get breakfast and read the paper. An hour later, I asked the waitress what time it was, and she said 4 a.m. Slowly, I realized that I hadn’t hooked up the computer to the hotel’s Wi-Fi; it still showed the time from where we left. Now I’d wake Sue if I tried to go back in the room. I learned a hard lesson about how long you can nurse a cup of coffee in an all-night diner. If there’s one great thing about being stupid, it’s that you get used to it, whereas smart people probably feel all surprised and foolish when they do dumb things. Sue was not surprised at all to hear my story four hours later. She’s used to it. The fact that the changing of the clocks comes almost exactly six weeks after Groundhog Day is sheer coincidence. I don’t know about you, but I’m finding that fewer and fewer people rely on hibernating animals for accurate weather predictions. A week or two after Groundhog Day, no

one can remember if the animal saw his shadow or not. And I find it hard to believe that a Pennsylvania groundhog and a Florida groundhog would be in agreement very often. If you ask me, the basic flaw in groundhog meteorology is that winter is not the same everywhere. Spring forward, fall back; that’s the ticket. Simply set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed on March 9, and you’ll be enjoying an extra hour of daylight. Well, not really. There’s still the same amount of daylight; we’ve just all decided to use it differently. Of course, try telling this to your pets. They are not getting the message that the time has changed. So the dog wonders: “Why are you going to bed so early? That’s OK, I’ll just keep you awake for another hour. Why aren’t we going for a walk the same time as yesterday? What’s with dinner coming an hour early?” It takes the dog about three weeks to adjust to the new sleep schedule. The cat? He never learns. I can talk until my face is blue, but he’s never going to change things for my convenience. Nor will the sun. The sun, the reason we have all reset our clocks in the first place, will now be directly in my face on the way home each night for a month. Why, oh why, did someone think making streets that go east and west was a good idea? Is city planning really that hard? I can’t even see whether the stoplight by the grocery store is green or red. Now I keep in the glove compartment that smoked piece of glass that I used to watch the last solar eclipse. It comes in handy on the drive home. Sue thinks my theory about detecting the first sign of spring doesn’t hold water. “Everybody knows the first sign of spring is when the snowbirds return,” she says. “They’re never wrong.” Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

It’s not unusual for the province’s top politician to pass through the North Okanagan. But Premier Christy Clark’s visit to Vernon Wednesday certainly raises a few questions. Specifically, why was there no advance notice that she would be in town? During previous stops, the media was advised in advance that the premier would be here and told what she would be doing. Interview opportunities were virtually guaranteed. But the traditional process didn’t unfold Wednesday. The Morning Star didn’t become aware of the situation until there was a surprise call from Clark wanting to speak to a reporter for a few minutes. In another case, a reporter didn’t learn about Clark’s presence in Vernon until he was told about it by MLA Eric Foster well after the fact. Obviously, Clark was facing time constraints as she had engagements in Kelowna and Penticton as well. But it’s hard to believe Clark wouldn’t want to increase her profile while in Vernon. Her meetings with local businesses would have provided her with a platform to promote her government’s economic strategy, and it’s a message the media would have relayed had they been invited. The visit would have also been a chance for Clark to publicly endorse Foster who is facing some stiff competition in the election. Given all of the controversies the government has endured recently — everything from ethnic vote strategies to questions over Foster’s office renovations — it was a curious approach to getting your message across to North Okanagan residents, especially mere weeks away from an election.

just say no Here is my final say on the sports field. First, why does the Regional District of North Okanagan and the city have to spend all of this money to tell us what to do? We are not children. After getting all of the facts, I think we can make our own decision. Why are we building a sports field at one end of town at a major highway intersection and all of the amenities required by people are at the other end? We are trying to tell people we are energy conscious when we are putting more traffic on an already crowded street. If this is such a good deal, well then get a sports group to go out and get sponsors to build it with the RDNO putting up 25 per cent. The reason any smart company will tell you that this is a money-losing proposition, so why should we pay for everything every year?

the Kin site necessary to make it happen. 3. It’s too much money: $7.5 million is not a small amount of money. However, you get what you pay for. This facility will have the top-of-the-line Mondo track, dubbed the fastest track in the world. It is exceptional quality and I am a believer in the saying, “pay now or pay later." By going with a quality surface now, we will save money in the future with repair and replacement costs of a lesser quality track. The facility will also have a synthetic field, which allows the benefit of much higher use when compared to

The demographics of this area are changing fast according to the census. We are becoming an aging population. This is evident with the closing of schools and lower registrations yearly. So why build for people that will not use it? The water plant is already outdated and requires upgrades. The recreation complex will need to be replaced, even with the repairs being made. Then there are the museum and arts centre. Kin Race Track, it was stated, is part of the recreational plan so that will be more money. Do not forget about the Civic and Priest Valley arenas. They are in need of major work or closing. Then there is the hospital that everyone needs to have with the two floors completed.

natural grass fields. It will be a lighted field that allows for evening games and practices. It will also have two buildings with four change rooms, a classroom/meeting room, washrooms and more. It will be a state-of-the-art facility with everything needed to host provincial level competitions. Such competitions have the potential of bringing millions of dollars to the businesses of our community. 4. Why cater to these small user groups?: These user groups are small for a reason, and I think not having a proper facility is one of the main reasons. How big do you think minor hockey would be if we didn’t have any ice surfaces? Do you think we would host Funtastic every year if we didn’t have a plethora of ball diamonds? I’m sure soccer saw its user group grow substantially when it built at Marshall Field. The truth is, not just the track club, running clubs, and minor football will have the ability to use this facility. Every citizen and any user group can use it. It will be a community facility. Even if you don’t use it, you should think about how it would benefit the community. I very rarely use Wesbild Centre or the Performing Arts Centre but I’m glad they are there for those that do use and enjoy them. I realize times are tough and people don’t want their taxes to increase. However, I believe that building a facility such as this is well worth the investment. I can’t speak for everyone, but in my opinion $15 a year, on average per homeowner, is not a huge burden when you consider the benefits it can bring. Vote yes on April 6 to bring this great facility to our community. tim thorpe

up to us. More money that has to be spent. Now we have the recycling plant this is owned by the RDNO, and guess who will have to pay for it? We will. Most likely, these people who really need it will be unemployed for many months to come. Do not forget that the global and local economies are in a downward spiral and no one knows when this will stop. We do not have any large business coming to the area. Instead, we lost 40 jobs to the U.S. It seems they know how to bargain and look after people. The mayor and RDNO seem to live in a dream world where they have all the money they need and can ask for what they want and get it. So, it is time to draw a line in the sand and stop spending in our lovely city. How much are you willing to fund and put the municipality in debt? Garry Haas

Vote yes for sports complex

ver the past few months, I have heard a few different points of opposition towards the proposed sports facility. I would like to speak to some of the major points in this letter: 1. We don’t need it: False, we do need it, and have needed it for many years. Track athletes do not have a proper track to train on. The oval at Polson Park is not regulation size and is dirt. It also doesn’t have any throw sectors. Football has never had a proper facility for playing or practicing on. The Polson field was the closest thing when there were football uprights and a tiny room under the old grandstand for changing in. As you probably know, the grandstand burned down quite a few years ago and the field was not regulation size for football anyway. 2. It’s at the wrong location: I disagree. That is a great location, right next to the college and just off a major highway. There is existing parking already, and Okanagan College donated the land for this project at a value of $737,000 ($1 a year lease). Some people say it’s too windy up there. However, wind studies were completed and have all come in at reasonable levels. The numbers don’t lie. Other locations were considered, but this location was found to be the best option. Most people believe that Kin Race Track would be the better option. However, most people also know that Kin Race Track has been in litigation with the Okanagan Equestrian Society and the City of Vernon for quite some time and it looks like it will continue to be for many more years to come. In addition, developing the Kin site would be considerably more expensive, considering the grander scope of that project and the purchasing of land adjoining

Armstrong’s first 100 years are the focus of Celebrating The City of Armstrong, 1913-2013.

Awakening with Gurpreet

Book honours city’s 100th Morning Star Staff

The City of Armstrong is being celebrated in a new book. After completing thousands of hours of careful research, scanning old newspaper files, government records and older books about the area, Armstrong’s 100th anniversary of incorporation will be unveiled with Celebrating the City of Armstrong, 1913 – 2013. On Tuesday, the 220-page book will be available at a special book signing at the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Museum from 2 and 4 p.m. Co-authors Jessie Ann Gamble and Jack Jamieson, both long-time residents, completed the writing of the book earlier this year, after compiling information assembled by volunteers at the museum and within the community. Earlier research had been done by a summer student at the museum, Emily Rice. “Each of the 100 years since incorporation are put together with each year devoted to two pages of a brief history in text, highlights of the year and photographs of the day,” said Jamieson. “The mayors throughout the years are identified on each page. They were the drivers of the city’s development.” Also included are comprehensive lists of the mayors, magistrates, board of trade/chamber of commerce presidents, freemen of the city and local legion presidents. A current map showing all the streets in the city, as well as the city’s population and significant temperatures each year, are included. Jamieson said Gamble should be congratulated for her tremendous dedication in gathering facts, documenting them and seeing that the entire process in writing the book went smoothly. “Without question, she is the driving force behind this project and deserves credit for it,” he said. “She was our task master, all the way through.” The book Celebrating the City of Armstrong, 1913 – 2013 sells for $20.

The Township of Spallumcheen wonders whether it can hook up part of its community with Greater Vernon water, Coun. Todd York asked Monday if the township could send an informal request to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to relay interest in trying to supply water to its light industrial area in the south end of the township. “Particularly, the

York replied if that was, in fact, the case, that there’s no plans to change the policy on the horizon or no interest at all, he would have his answer. “We then would have to firm something up elsewhere,” said York. “But our interest in trying to service that industrial area should be a top priority for us.”

Police to collect weapons www.tireland.ca

Morning Star Staff

Police departments throughout British Columbia will collect unwanted and unauthorized guns from the public during a firearms amnesty in June 2013. The program, announced at a meeting of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, will help remove the firearms from the community, reducing the risk of them falling into the hands of criminals. It is also expected to generate tips on illegal firearms and promote goodwill between police and local communities. “There will be further messaging about this from police as it gets closer to June,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. For the entire month of June, people who want to surrender ammunition or weapons, including imitations and replicas, can contact their local police and provide basic information on the items they want to surrender.

Cle

Police will visit residences to pick up the firearms, so the public should not bring the guns or ammunition to the police themselves. The amnesty will not apply to weapons or firearms used for a criminal purpose. Similar programs in 1997, 1998 and 2006 successfully removed thousands of guns from B.C. streets. During the four-week, provincewide gun amnesty in 2006, British Columbians turned over 3,213 guns including 505 handguns, and 725 other unwanted weapons to police departments, as well as 96,500 rounds of ammunition, a rocket launcher and a machine gun. “It’s vital to take guns off our streets and avoid tragedies that can tear families apart,” said B.C. justice minister Shirley Bond. This year’s initiative is endorsed by the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police and will be led by RCMP E-Division on behalf of the provincial RCMP, and supported by all the municipal police departments in British Columbia.

Soup’s on for church project Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

C o l d s t r e a m Christian Church is cooking up support to one day build a new home for the congregation. With plans to construct a new church on the Kalamalka Road site, members are serving soup as the initial fundraiser for the project. “The goal is to sell 1,000 bowls of soup,” said David Hockley, church pastor. “So far, we’ve served 250 and raised a little over $1,000,” said Hockley of the initiative that started in January and will run until the end of April, before starting up again in the fall. The church serves up homemade soup and biscuits every Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for anyone wanting to drop in or pick up orders for a

“The goal is to sell 1,000 bowls of soup.” — David Hockley few or many. “It’s a relatively inexpensive way of feeding the troops,” said Hockley. The fundraiser was cooked up by member Iris Youngberg, who wanted to put her talents to use for the church. “It was her idea. She came to me and said, ‘I love to cook maybe this is something we can do.”

It’s just a start, as Hockley expects the church will need anywhere from $1 to $2 million to build. But he has faith that the project will come to fruition within the next two to three years. By that time, the existing church will be close to 50 years old. “It’s old, outdated and the size is limited,” said Hockley. With a congrega-

tion of about 120, the church sees on average 85 to 90 people come in each Sunday. “Our seating capacity is only 100 people, so you get 85 to 90 people come in and start looking for a spot to sit with their families and it gets pretty difficult,” said Hockley. A new church wouldn’t just benefit the members, but be an asset to the entire community, Hockley believes. “It would be something for the whole community to use,” said Hockley, noting that there aren’t a lot of facilities to rent in Coldstream.

Science speaker aims for stars Morning Star Staff

www.kidston.ca

The Science in Society speaker series is turning to the stars to close out what has been a stellar season at the Vernon campus of Okanagan College. Dr. Chris Impey, deputy head of the astronomy department at the University of Arizona will present a free lecture on life beyond earth April 2 at 7:30 p.m. “The search for life in the universe addresses one of the most profound issues in science – the status of biology on Earth in a cosmos that is likely to contain many habitable planets with all the ingredients needed for biology,” he said. Impey is the author of the The Living Cosmos, which sheds light on astrobiology, and How it Began: A TimeTraveler’s Guide to the Universe.

He has been named National Science Foundation Distinguished Teaching Scholar by the Carnegie Foundation. The free event in Vernon is sponsored by the American Astronomical Society as part of its Harlow Shapley Visiting Lectureship program. “We aim to cover a variety of science areas – thinking in particular what might be especially topical from a public point of view,” said Carl Doige, an Okanagan College professor who helps co-ordinate Science in Society along with the Okanagan Science Centre. The Science in Society series is sponsored by Starbucks Coffee, and The Morning Star. For more information, go to www. okscience.ca or call 250-545-3644.

Charlie Bannerman and (orchid specialist) Dr. Samuel Bloom go head-to-head with Europe’s most powerful drug cartel.” Power will be signing copies of The Case of the Golden Orchid Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. at Coles in the Village Green Centre, and April 6, from noon to 3 p.m. at Bookland on 30th Avenue. It’s a rash of unsolved murders that prompts Bannerman to join forces with Bloom and together they head off to Madagascar. The book also introduces the reader to a group known as the Zurich International Ass o ciat ion of Naturalists (ZIAN). Available at amazon.com, The Case of the Golden Orchid received a glowing review from editor David Koulack: “The Case of the Golden Orchid is a first-rate thriller,” wrote Koulack. “It is filled with twists and turns of plot and surprises that demand that you keep reading. And I should mention there are love interests too and one in particular that will warm the cockles of your heart.” More information on Power and his writing can be found at his website, rodpower. com.

Residents required to maintain boulevards Morning Star Staff

City of Vernon bylaws indicate that residents must maintain boulevards, the area between their property line and the curb or paved portion of the roadway. “To keep taxes low and to maintain neighbourhood esthetics, the city relies on residents to take care of the boulevards adjacent to their property or on their alley’s edge,” said Clint Kanester, bylaw enforceClint Kanester ment manager. Here are some tips: • Keep trees, hedges, weeds and grasses planted on the boulevard or adjacent to it well-maintained and trimmed. • If you have a boulevard tree in the city’s inven-

Oyama water source switched Morning Star Staff

Water customers in Oyama are now being supplied water from Kalamalka Lake. The District of Lake Country intends to continue to supply Kalamalka Lake water to all customers in Oyama until irrigation season starts and water demands increase. When irrigation season starts, it will be necessary to switch customers that have historically received water from the Oyama Lake source to that supply. “Weather dependent, we hope to avoid supplying water from Oyama Lake during spring runoff when water quality experiences elevated turbidity,” said Greg Buchholz, operations manager. “Users that historically have relied on the Kalamalka Lake source should expect to receive water from Kalamalka Lake throughout the year on a continuing basis.” Water users familiar with Oyama Lake supply may notice a change to the water which will be clear and without colour but harder due to the presence of minerals (calcium carbonate). “The hardness level is still in the low to moderate range and well within the guideline of the Canadian Drinking Water Quality specifications as an aesthetic consideration only. No health concerns are associated with hardness,” said Buchholz. The Kalamalka Lake water source remains on a water quality advisory due to turbidity: Turbidity is a measure of how clear or cloudy the water is and NTU is the unit it is measured in. Particles can interfere with the disinfection process and may reduce chlorines effectiveness. Turbidity in the good and fair range are invisible to the human eye. The water quality is rated as fair. Health risks increase as turbidity rises, particularly for at-risk populations such as newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites can attach themselves to the suspended particles in turbid water. These particles can then interfere with disinfection, limiting chlorine’s ability to remove or inactivate the contaminants. Who should take these precautions? Children The elderly People with weakened immune systems What should these customers do? Until further notice, water intended for the following uses should be boiled for one minute and then refrigerated in a clean, covered container: Drinking Washing fruits and vegetables Making beverages or ice Brushing teeth

tory, operations staff will maintain it for you. Call 250-549-6757 if you have a boulevard tree that needs attention. • Clean up any rubbish from boulevards. • Don’t park on boulevards. Parking on boulevards can interrupt pedestrian traffic, damage the grass and the curb and drag mud or landscape materials onto the street. This is also a Motor Vehicle Act infraction. • Boulevards often contain city utilities such as gas lines, TV or telephone. As boulevards are not constructed to the same standard as roadways, parking may damage them. It may also restrict access to utility boxes, water shut offs or gas valves. Do not cover these up by parking over them. • Don’t park the wrong way on the boulevard. If parked the wrong way, leaving the boulevard is dangerous as you have to cross a lane of traffic. Entering a roadway from the wrong direction is the fifth leading

cause of death on B.C. roadways.

Report shows merit of refinery

CASHBACK ON SELECT VEHICLES †

toyotabc.ca

The B.C. government has released its own independent report on a proposed heavy oil refinery near Kitimat, which concludes that the project has “economic merit.” The report, by California-based Navigant Consulting, examined the proposed refinery design and also assessed markets for refined fuels in Asia. “Such a refinery would provide incremental longterm benefits to the region, compared to export of unfinished feedstock,” the report states. The consultants recommend that B.C. approve a design for the plant that produces a variety of fuels, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The report endorses a conventional design for the refinery, proposed by Victoria newspaper publisher David Black last summer. Black, owner of Black Press and The Morning Star, established a separate company called Kitimat Clean last year. In early March he announced that he is finalizing details for David Black $25 billion in financing and purchase agreements for the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that the plant would produce. According to Black’s plans, the $16 billion refinery would require another $9 billion in construction, including six product pipelines to Douglas Channel to load ships with refined fuel, and a natural gas pipeline to run a power plant, fire refining equipment and supply hydrogen for a new heavy oil refining process. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the Navigant report cost $40,000, and would be done by the province for any proposal of this scale, through the province’s major projects office. If built as planned, the Kitimat refinery would be the biggest private investment in B.C. history. The Navigant report describes a conventional coking process that extracts a coal-like byproduct from heavy oil. Black announced March 6 that his team is revising its environmental permit application to use a new process that would convert the coke and increase liquid fuel output. A conventional refinery of that size would fill 100 rail cars per day with petroleum coke, which is typically sold as fuel for high-temperature metal processing. A process patented last year by Calgary-based Expander Energy adapts a technique developed a century ago in Germany to convert coal to synthetic fuels.

ICBC invests in roads Morning Star Staff

The Insurance Corporation of B.C. invested $134,000 in North Okanagan roads. Six road improvement projects received financial support in 2012. “Road improvements deliver real value to everyone on our roads, from drivers to pedestrians,” said John Dickinson, ICBC director of safety. The projects included Highway 97A from Crozier to Pleasant Valley roads in Spallumcheen, Highway 97A from Pleasant Valley Cross to Lansdowne roads in Spallumcheen, Highway 97A and Canyon Road in Enderby, Highway 97 in Monte Lake, Highway 97 and Mendenhall Road in Spallumcheen and Highway 97 and St. Anne’s Road in Spallumcheen. “We’ll continue to invest in road safety initiatives that help us reduce claims costs to keep rates as low as possible for our customers,” said Dickinson.

A Vernon company is looking at attracting more than 120 families to northern Alberta. Tolko Industries is preparing to restart its Athabasca oriented strand board mill in Slave Lake during the first quarter of 2014. Information sessions will be held in High Prairie and Slave Lake at the end of March and in Edmonton in April to showcase employment opportunities. “We are looking forward to working with all interested candidates to ensure they have all of the information they need to join our team at Athabasca,” said Brett VanderHoek, recruitment advisor. “We are looking for industrial tradespeople such as millwrights and electricians, general production, woodlands positions and more than 20 salaried roles, everything from maintenance management to production team leaders to purchasers.”

Freestylers relish Hot Doggin’ Morning Star Staff

More than 60 athletes bounced, jumped and turned for a chance at glory as the Silver Star Freestyle Club hosted its Hot Doggin’ Mogul Event last weekend. Skiers were judged over two runs for turns and aerial maneuvers, with the best run counting. Club skiers Megan Loland and Jenna Cotter claimed gold and silver respectively in the 11-12-year-old Girls division, followed by Big White’s Gabriella Guarducci in third. In the 11-12 Boys, Silver Star’s Jaidyn Gordon-Mason and Liam Bush took second and third place behind Big White’s Lewis Brunt.

The Silver Star duo of Matthew Gardner and Jackson Peters ranked first and second in the 9-10 Boys, with Big White’s Owen Brunt earning third. Club skiers swept the podium in both the 7-8 Girls and Boys classes, with Melody Fagerlund, Michaela Dew and Daniley Johnson finishing one-two-three for the girls. Tate Garrod, Zach Loland and Carter Leahy were the top boys. Silver Star’s Ella Garrod topped the U6 Girls division, while Vernon club skiers Liam Person, Alex Sewell and Anderson Bicknell ruled the boys group. Meanwhile, Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club members turned in some stellar slopestyle results at Canadian Junior Nationals last

weekend at Apex Mountain Resort. Jake Ondrik struck gold and Tanner Gordon earned silver in the 16-18-year-old Boys division. Patrick Dew took silver in the 14-15 Boys, Katie Walker collected bronze in the 16-18 Girls and Declan Stevenson recorded silver in the 12-13 Boys. The club is sponsored by Kal Tire, Helmuts Sausage Kitchen, CIBC Wood Gundy and Monashee Powder Snowcats. Up next, club is hosting the B.C. Freestyle Timber Tour Championships this weekend at Silver Star Mountain. More than 200 freestyle skiers ages six to 18 from Western Canada will be competing in slopestyle, single and dual moguls. The event ends Sunday.

Things seemed to happen in twos for the North Okanagan Knights Tuesday (or should it be Twosday) night in Osoyoos. Colton Thibault scored twice, Connor Richards bagged a pair and Steve Pantazopoulos added two assists as the Knights stopped the host Coyotes 5-1 in Game 4 of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Okanagan/Shuswap Conference final. Pantazopoulos also deposited a pair of teeth on the Sun Bowl ice surface Tuesday night. The gritty Kelowna captain took a follow-through in the face as an Osoyoos defender cleared a puck during a Knights’ powerplay. There was no call on the play. Pantazopoulos underwent double root canal Wednesday, but was expected to dress as North Okanagan looked to eliminate Osoyoos in Game 5 Thursday at Nor-Val Sports Centre. If necessary, Game 6 goes tonight at the Sun Bowl, with Game 7 set for Sunday night (7:30) in Armstrong. “We’ve got guys that are playing hurt, but everybody’s excited at the possibility (of going to the league final) so Pantazopoulos they’re just sucking it up,” said North Okanagan head coach Kris Mallette. The Knights will be without rugged winger Owen Barker for at least a week as he left Tuesday’s game with an “upper-body” injury. As a result, Mallette called up Vernon’s Logan Geefs for Game 5. Mallette has thrown his reserve players into the fray, and they have rewarded him with some honest minutes. Vernon’s Curtis Sexsmith drew an assist on Richard’s first goal, and 15-year-old Blaine Caton (3rd goal), also of Vernon, buried North Okanagan’s final snipe late in the third period. Caton got in a lane to knock down an Osoyoos point shot and scampered in on a breakaway, beating Jesse Gordichuk with a beauty forehand-backhand deke. Thibault (8th, 9th) opened the scoring in the first period while the ice was still wet. After North Okanagan got the puck deep, he picked off an illadvised clearing attempt and ripped a wrister past Gordichuk from the high slot at the 30-second mark. “It definitely got everybody into the game,” said Thibault, a Vernon Secondary student. “We all had pressure on us to supply the goals.” Thibault scored his second of the night, and ninth of the post-season, at the three-minute mark. Richards (2nd, 3rd) made it 3-0 after 20 minutes, and he deflected a Mac Ferner point shot for the lone second-period tally.

Schultz perfect in Interior spotlight Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Well, five pins to be exact. With a full house watching him throw his final ball Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Lanes, needing a strike for a perfect game, Wayne Schultz delivered. The 450 was the first-ever in the 67-year history of the B.C. Interior Fivepin Bowling Championships. “I didn’t notice it was quiet,” said Schultz, a 40-year-old construction worker. “I knew that there were people about eight lanes over, but other than that, I didn’t really pay attention.” Schultz began bowling in YBC leagues in Armstrong. He has “about 13 or 14” 400 singles and last rolled a perfect game in December, 2001, on the same four-five lanes. “It kind of just happened,” said Schultz. “I had a 350 earlier in the day on the same lanes and it just felt good. I got up there and my spot looked like a basketball instead of a board.” Krista Koenig, Matt Eisenhauer, Jesse Buchanan and Tyce Koenig were on the same lanes with Schultz as Vernon won the men’s, mixed and aggregate portions, while placing second in ladies. Rod Koenig, Trevor Rachwalski, Lyle Rachwalski, Yvonne Walker, Irene Walker, Calyn Buresh and Erin Buchanan rounded out the Vernon entry. Schultz, who carries a 254 aver-

age, didn’t surprise everybody with his scorching 12-strike masterpiece. “For the most part I throw a speed ball. My friend Dave Wendel, he bowled for Cranbrook. He came over to a few people I know and said, after five frames, that I was going to do it. He could tell.” Teammates took video of Schultz’s final two strikes. It can be viewed on the Lincoln Lanes’ Facebook page. “A lot of people were buying drinks but I wasn’t drinking because I was driving home,” laughed Schultz. His son, Trevor, 21 months, was a good-luck charm Saturday. “He came in when I was bowling bad. I wasn’t bowling very good in the morning and he got me off what I was thinking about and then I bowled the 350.” Schultz is supposed to receive a houseboat vacation, a watch and golf shirt from the Bowling Proprietors of B.C., a sports bag from Image Group and a plaque from Landmark Recognition. He also goes to the Club 400 tournament at the coast next fall. Tyce Koenig won the Rookie Men’s High Block at 1,180 at the Interiors, while Yvonne Walker took the Ladies High Block with an 1,107. The Vernon mixed team racked up the high single, 1,537, 13 short of the tournament record set in 1989 by Kelowna. The Vernon men had the high single of 1,425.

Round 2 taking shape for BCHL playoffs

JUST ! ANNOUNCED

n All but one of the BCHL’s secondround series matchups have been determined. The Penticton Vees, who swept the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in Round 1, are awaiting the winner of the other Interior Division series between the West Kelowna Warriors and Merritt Centennials. The Vees will have had nine days off before the Interior final begins next Friday. Rylan Ferster’s Warriors led the bestof-seven set 3-1 heading into Game 5 Thursday at Royal LePage Place. Reid Simmons scored the winner with 3:52 to play as West Kelowna grounded the Cents 3-2 in Game 4 Tuesday in Merritt. In the Coastal Conference bracket, featuring best-of-five series, Adam Tambellini’s Surrey Eagles host the Chilliwack Chiefs in Game 1 of the second round tonight at South Surrey Arena. Tambellini, a former Vernon Viper, recorded a hat trick as the Eagles elimi-

nated the Langley Rivermen with a 6-3 win in Game 4 Tuesday. Vernon’s Tanner Burns had a goal for Chilliwack in their Round 1 series with the Prince George Spruce Kings. Captain Zach Urban recorded a highlight-reel OT winner as the Victoria Grizzlies grounded the Powell River Kings 3-2 in Game 5 to advance to the second round. The Grizz, featuring former Vipers Turner Lawson and Pearce Eviston, will meet the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, who eliminated the Nanaimo Clippers 2-1 in Game 5 Tuesday. Mike Vandekamp’s Clippers now have to tread water until they host the inaugural Western Canada Cup, April 27-May 5. The five-team tournament features the B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba champions, and host Clippers. The winner and runners-up advance to RBC Cup nationals, May 11-19 in Summerside, P.E.I.

Evan Last solved Knights’ keeper Dustin Nikkel on a third-period man advantage. “Dusty, in the third period in particular, came up big for us,” said Mallette. “I wish we had a shutout for him. The week-long break before this series helped the Knights heal, but Thibault said it also took them a game to get back in the groove. The Knights have outscored Osoyoos 15-2 in the last three games. “Once we got that first game out of the way we started playing relentless again,” said Thibault. “From the start of the season we’ve always talked about making it to league final, even being a younger team. Now we have a chance to do that.” Meanwhile, the Castlegar Rebels completed a sweep of the Golden Rockets with a 3-2 win in Game 4 of the Kootenay Conference final Tuesday at Golden Arena.

Kermodes uncover Bantam gold Morning Star Staff

The Terrace Kermodes smothered the North Shore Avalanche 2-1 in the gold-medal final of the B.C. Bantam A Female Hockey Championships Wednesday night at the Wesbild Centre. Terrace avenged a round-robin loss to the Avalanche with steadfast defence, a hot goalie and some clutch scoring. Kelsey Roberts was named player of the game with 36 saves. “We were really nervous because we lost to them earlier, but it was a close game so we knew if we came out hard we had a chance to beat them,” said Roberts, who made a huge stop on Avalanche captain Mika Embury, on a breakaway 90 seconds into the final. “I felt really nervous at the start, but after I made those first few saves, I got into the swing of the game,” she added. North Shore controlled play for most of the first period, but the Terrace defence kept clearing pucks. Taylor Beck opened the scoring in the first minute of the second after a face-off win, converting on a Sedin-like slap pass in the high slot, to the far side. North Shore kept pressing and equalized on a powerplay late in the second. Tianna Lopes walked out of the corner uncontested and went backhand, stick-side. Just one minute later, Terrace responded with 1:38 left in the second. Myah Bowel won a battle in the corner and put the puck in front for Marissa Nichol, who one-timed a beauty off the cross bar, past Avalanche goalie Alexandra Gulstene. “It was awesome,” said a gushing Nichol, moments after the win. “Top shelf. I’ve dreamed about doing that. It’s such a great feeling.” The Avalanche did not let up and kept the puck pinned in the Terrace zone. Said Nichol: “It was so nerve-wracking, knowing that you are only one goal ahead and they could score at any minute, but we worked so hard all year and we knew what to do.” Terrace was outshot 37-24 but their

Female Bantam A Hockey Championship play Wednesday at Wesbild Centre. defence held the most potent offensive team in the nine-team tournament to only one goal by allowing very few chances in the slot and forcing the speedy Avalanche forwards to the outside all night. In the bronze-medal game, Olivia Alexander (1+2) scored at 5:31 of the third to cap a thrilling comeback 5-3 victory for the Juan de Fuca Royals over the Tri-Cities Predators. Alexander took a pass from Haylie Choo,

and wristed a shot from the top of the circle through the d-man, far side just above the goalie’s pad. Olivia Ramos (1+2) carried the offensive load for the Predators (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody). In earlier semifinals, Terrace shut down Tri-Cities 4-0 and North Shore grounded Juan de Fuca 6-1. Roberts recorded 25 saves as the Kermodes blanked the Predators. Goals came from Nichol, Deborah Wraight, Bowel

and Bailey Kasum. North Shore got snipes from Devon Wood (2), Maegan Beres, Mika Embury, Cassandra Wakefield and Lopes. Olivia Alexander countered for the Royals. The Vernon Sladen Moore Lakers (0-3-1) finished the provincials with a 5-2 loss to the Royals Tuesday night. Play was end to end with Juan de Fuca holding a 33-20 shot advantage. Both teams took 12 minutes in penalties. The Royals scored first at 18:40 of the opening period with Alexander connecting, from Raye Yasaki. Andie Kaneda of the Lakers answered back with assists going to Jenna Fletcher and Olivia Comeau. The Royals then reeled off four unanswered goals with Alexander netting a deuce. Hunter Joseph, unassisted, supplied the last Laker goal. Meanwhile, the Salmon Arm Silvertips ended up 2-2-1 at the B.C. Midget A Female Championships in Richmond. The Silvertips, who have nine Vernon players, lost 6-2 to the Cranbrook Ice in their last game Wednesday. Lisa Campeau of Vernon had one of the Silvertips’ goals. Salmon Arm stopped Tr-Cities 3-1 Tuesday afternoon with Jenna Lazar and Molly Box, both of Vernon, each getting 1+1. The Tips tied Surrey 2-2 and fell 5-1 to the Richmond Ravens in Monday action. Campeau registered both goals versus Surrey with Lazar and Box each earning one helper. Campeau drew the assist on Maddison Turner’s goal against Richmond. Salmon Arm opened the six-team affair by ambushing the Smithers Ragged Ice 5-1 with Box and Cassidy Marshall of Vernon pocketing goals. Danielle Butler and Hannah Scherck, both of Vernon, and Lazar, had assists. Richmond brushed off Tri-Cities 5-3 for the gold medal. Ashley Tinney, Jess Murphy, Britany Jackson and Kylie Assi, all of Vernon, also helped the Tips.

Balm Internationals last weekend at the Capilano University Sportsplex in North Vancouver. Unity’s Rylie Marchand, 11, turned heads by winning gold in each of her five events. “She was regularly on the smaller side in all her events and the crowed went crazy for her,” said Unity instructor Raja Lee. “I have never seen that before at the Tiger Balms.” Marchand’s stablemate Taylor Robinson, also 11, won a gold and two silvers. She and Marchand met in a couple of the finals and had to flip a coin to determine the winner. Skyler Mobey, a 19-year-old competing in his first-ever Tiger Balms, struck two gold and two silver. Devin Beauregard, 22, earned gold in both grappling and pankration, and Alex Loosemore, 19, was runner-up to him in pankration. Trevor Feeney, 16, secured gold in grappling and pankration in the open weight classes and Jesse Dalton took silver and bronze in pankration and grappling. Kobe Marchand, nine, struck silver in San Shou (kickboxing), Ty Harris, eight, Noah Thom, 12, and Mya Robinson, eight, all pocketed bronze in their respective grappling divisions. Unity will be hosting an open house and food drive at its club on 30th Avenue on Saturday, March 30, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. The club will perform demonstrations, and will be offering snacks and a raffle.

Armstrong duo sticks to plan Morning Star Staff

Tim Smith and John Campbell of Armstrong won the recent B.C. Stick Curling Championships in Enderby. Smith and Campbell won the 32-team event for the third time in five years. They pocketed the top cash prizes, two Sure Shot sticks, winner’s crests and trophy as they head to nationals next month in PEI. The Armstrong duo brushed back Bill Hammer and Don Watt of Salmon Arm, Andrew Casavant and Harold McAfee of Chase and Kevin Baldock and Tommy Hughes of Salmon Arm in A side play. They then moved to the qualifier round which consisted of three other teams from the A event – Brian Maurer and Kathy Crosbie, Baldock and Hughes, and John Howard and Gordon Schindler, all of Salmon Arm, and two teams from the B event – Mel and Jackie Jackson of Enderby and Charlotte Trainor and Gayle Svenson of Armstrong. Once in the qualifying round, Smith and Campbell downed Howard and Schindler and stopped Maurer and

Crosbie. They beat Maurer and Crosbie in the semifinal. n Vernon’s Carol Martel and Team B.C. clawed their way to 4-5 after Thursday morning’s draw at the Canadian Senior Women’s Curling Championships in Summerside, PEI.

Lights out for Earth Hour Morning Star Staff

For just one hour, North Okanagan residents are asked, once again, to power down Saturday. Earth Hour 2013 encourages residents to turn off their lights Saturday from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Last year, Vernon lowered its energy consumption by 3.42 per cent during Earth Hour, and Coldstream lowered its energy consumption by 3.8 per cent. B.C.’s overall electricity load dropped by 1.67 per cent. “I encourage all British Columbians to power down for Earth Hour 2013. You might even help your community achieve the highest reduction in energy use in the province,” said Terry Lake, environment minister. Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund and supported by B.C. Hydro. The goal of this event is to encourage individuals to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics in an effort to conserve power. “Turning the lights off for Earth Hour signifies that British Columbians want to conserve energy,” said Rich Coleman, energy minister. “It also shows that we can use less electricity than we usually do. Conserving energy helps our environment and has the added benefit of saving money on electricity bills.” This year, many B.C. Hydro account holders can track their energy use by logging on to www. bchydro.com/myhydro to compare their electricity use on the Saturday prior to Earth Hour with their actual use during Earth Hour. The new tools provide information on household electricity consumption, giving customers the ability to make informed decisions year-round. Customers can now see their hourly, daily or weekly electricity use, not just the total energy used in a two-month bill. “Earth Hour participants send a powerful, visual message to their neighbours and communities,” said Charles Reid, B.C. Hydro president and CEO.

College garners board member Morning Star Staff

A new face on Okanagan College’s board of governors brings experience overseeing corporate finances and working on nonprofit boards. Robert McGowan has been appointed by the provincial government for a term ending July 31, 2014. A Kelowna resident, McGowan has served as chief financial officer for two publicly-traded companies and is also a former board member of a publicly-traded software firm. “I’m coming to appreciate the complexities of the post-secondary education environment and look forward to working on behalf of the institution,” he said. He is a former presi-

dent of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Manitoba. “We are looking forward to drawing on Bob’s knowledge and insights as a part of the College governance,” said board chairperson Tom Styffe. “His public company and private sector experience will be an asset.”

WALTHERS AUTO CENTER

“I encourage all to power down.” — Terry Lake

“Our Power Smart goals complement events like Earth Hour, which get people thinking about how they can reduce energy waste for the other 8,759 hours of the year.” n In 2012, British Columbians saved 121 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by 1.67 per cent during Earth Hour – the equivalent of turning off about 9 million 12.5watt LED light bulbs. n Last year, Revelstoke had the highest reduction in energy use at 12.1 per cent. n Earth Hour was observed last year by 6,525 cities, towns and municipalities in 150 countries and territories. A total of 511 Canadian cities participated. n Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and has grown to become a global phenomenon. n About 1.1 million B.C. Hydro customers now have access to their energy use information through MyHydro – at bchydro.com/myhydro. n The new electricity tracking tools allows customers to view detailed information about their electricity use up to the last 24 hours. The information can be broken down by the hour and allows customers to view their projected cost for energy, cost-to-date and their hourly, daily or weekly electricity use. n B.C. Hydro provides tools, resources and incentives to help people conserve through Power Smart. Visit www.bchydro.com/powersmart n For more on Earth Hour, visit www.bchydro. com/earthhour.

Bridge by Phillip Alder

IF HE COULD HAVE, HE WOULD HAVE

There are times when it is easier to play against good players. They are reliable. If they can do something beneficial for themselves, they will; they will not make silly errors. Beginners are not trustworthy. That is relevant in this deal, where South is an expert. He is in seven hearts. West leads a trump. What should South do, and how should West discard? After South opened one heart, North understandably drove into the grand slam after two doses of Blackwood. Despite all of the highcard points, the contract looks impossible -- declarer

has only 12 tricks. His only chance is to run winners and hope for a misdefense. At the table, South took all of his trumps, discarding a spade from the board. West calmly pitched all of his diamonds. This persuaded East to throw diamonds as well. Then came dummy’s diamond winners. East let go of three clubs; West released one spade and one club. But West was not sure what to do on the last diamond. Eventually, not wanting to come down to queendoubleton in clubs, he discarded a second spade. But now the missing spades were 2-2 and declarer gained a 13th trick. What did West overlook? If South had started with

Food bank builds funds for new facility

NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS Armstrong has long been known as an active community of people who love to walk and jog. These activities are often hampered by the inaction of irresponsible dog owners. Dog owners are reminded to keep your dog on a leash when using public property and to PLEASE pick up after your dog. Using common sense courtesy will go a long way in creating an enjoyable outdoor experience for all. The City of Armstrong would like to thank all dog owners who use such courtesy.

As donations for the Lake Country Food Bank continue to roll in with businesses and individuals supporting the non profit organization with food and cash, the campaign to raise enough money to construct a new building for the food bank is looking forward to an important year in its efforts. The Rotary Club of Lake Country is hoping to raise enough money this year to at the least, start construction of a new food bank building in the spring of 2014. But the group will still have to raise over $300,000 to make that happen. “Our estimation is that we need probably in the range of $350,000 to $400,000 in cash to start construction and be able to complete the building,” said Rotary club director Bob Rymarchuk. “Right now we are at about $40,000 that we have in the bank so we have a ways to go.” Several different fundraising campaigns are underway in Lake Country as the community, small businesses and larger corporations are all being asked to find extra funds to help raise enough money to move the food bank out of its current location in the old Winfield school. It’s a 100 year-old building that isn’t well suited to the growing operations of the food bank, which helps close to 600 folks each month. “They are really in a totally unsuitable space to being with,” said Rymarchuk. “It’s not suited for what they are doing at the food bank. It’s hard to believe they can make do with what they have. Unfortunately in our community there aren’t lot of options. We don’t have a stockpile of our buildings that you might typically find in a larger city. There just isn’t anything out there.” The Rotary club started its campaign to find a new home for the food bank about four years ago, looking for a new building. When a suitable location couldn’t be found, the District of Lake Country stepped forward and donated land next to the senior’s centre in Lake Country, a parcel big enough to build a 2,500 square foot building. Rymarchuk says once enough money is raised, the group has secured enough contractors that will donate their time and efforts to the cause, to help construct the building. But he added, the money still needs to come in to purchase supplies and other materials for the build. “Some people are a little appalled by the cost,” admitted Rymarchuk. “But these days it’s very, very expensive to build. You can’t build a new house for under $200 per square foot and we’ve had our valuation confirmed. We’re confident we can do this for around $400,000.” Residents can drop off loose change at the Lake Country Interior Savings as well larger donations. There is a group within the Rotary club working on larger cash donations from corporations and another group pursuing grants.

UBC prof studies Syilx Morning Star Staff

Jeannette Armstrong, an assistant professor of indigenous studies at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus, has received a prestigious appointment. Armstrong will be Canada Research chair in Okanagan indigenous philosophy. With the appointment comes an annual award of $100,000 for five years to research, document, categorize and analyze Okanagan Syilx oral language literature. The oral stories of the Syilx Okanagan contain a wealth of indigenous knowledge. Unfortunately, much of this knowledge is largely inaccessible. Armstrong aims to address existing barriers to research within this indigenous community by surveying, analyzing and categorizing Syilx captikwl (mythology) and smamay (legends) from a variety of published and unpublished collections. Armstrong is analyzing Syilx traditional knowledge to obtain information about Syilx society, as well as practices.

News Post-secondary skepticism unjust

y husband always tells my son the story of how when he was a young adult, you could quit your job in the morning and find another job by the afternoon. It was the 1970s and the economy in Alberta was booming. Then came the 1980s recession and it seemed that overnight, jobs just disappeared. Many young adults

unable to find employment opted to go back to school. Universities and colleges witnessed years of high enrollments leading many to increase capacity — mostly in academic programs. This also made it very difficult for many students to get in as

some programs were based on grades and the more students who applied the higher the required grade average to be accepted. It wasn’t uncommon for Jane Muskens high school students to need grades in the ‘90s to get into a lot of programs.

School’S In

Although there are still programs that demand high grade averages, these tend to be a select group as opposed to just about every program offered. So what makes this different from what’s happening today? The most significant thing is there is a lot of skepticism among young adults on whether or not to invest in a college or university credential. Although, interestingly enough , you don’t see the same skepticism when it comes to trades and technical training. Both of these careers tend to have good job outcomes. Nor do you see this with degrees and diplomas associated with health care and engineering. Most of the skepticism about whether to invest in post-secondary seems to be based on a number assumptions. The first is the belief that baby boomers (those who have the best jobs) are not going to retire due to the sheer fact that they haven’t saved enough and can’t afford to quit working. Low interest rates, overall increases in costs for basic living expenses such as groceries, companies shifting from defined benefit pension plans to contribution-based plans, and the elimination of the mandatory retirement age have all contributed to boomers considering employment beyond 65. Freedom 55 is no longer. You don’t even see those advertisements anymore. Young adults just don’t expect the jobs will be there once they graduate. The other is an assumption (which is somewhat related) that youth don’t want to saddle themselves with high debt load if there isn’t a job waiting for them once they

graduate. You regularly hear about students graduating with high debt, well over $50,000, whereas the average of students who graduate with debts is about $22,000. In fact, about half of Okanagan College students complete their studies without debt. There tends to be an overall sense that it doesn’t matter if you go to college or university or not. Either way, you won’t find a decent job. So where do we go from here? The first thing is to realize that once you embark upon a career, that doesn’t mean you can’t shift into something else. Education and training doesn’t always have to translate into a specific job. A good example of this is someone who completes a trades program, gets their red seal certification and with some experience turns that job into a management position with a company that hires a number of trades workers. Many of the most successful people I know tend to be the most creative and the most adaptable when it comes to how they use their education combined with the jobs they are willing to take. Today, close to 70 per cent of the jobs in Canada require some kind of post secondary education. In about 10 years, this number will probably be higher. The decision isn’t about whether or not to go. It’s about getting the right credential to meet the needs of the job market and being creative about where and how you apply the new-found skills and knowledge. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College. Comments can be forwarded to jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

what the spirit does, it’s what the spirit feels. We’re not just skin and bones.” Browne has written about her spiritual beliefs in a number of best-selling books. Her philosophy of life is based on research into past lives, via hypnosis, and through the information obtained via her reported deep trance channeling ability. She accepts reincarnation as a central theme in her philosophy, yet this belief is never forced upon anyone who does not want to hear it, Browne has said. Raised in Kansas City, Browne says she was five when it became clear that she was different from other kids. She says she started having visions — premonitions, if you will. “My grandmother was psychic... and my son is also psychic, so it’s all through my family,” said Browne, who now works

alongside her son, Chris Dufresne. For many years she shared her gift with friends and family, and became well known for helping people to see their future, adding when she first decided to bring her abilities to the people, she was met, like now, with some skepticism. “I knew there would be those that wouldn’t believe me. But I was told ‘don’t keep this to yourself,’” she said. In 1974, she founded the Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research, a non-profit organization (now known as Sylvia Browne Corporation) and also started sharing her predictions using the medium as the message. She has since appeared on numerous TV talk shows, including The Montel Williams Show, Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, CNN, and Entertainment Tonight. Last year, she spoke publicly about the supposed Mayan prophesy that the world would end, Dec. 12, 2012. Her prediction, in this case, came true. “I knew it would not come to an end. No man or woman can tell when the world is ending. People can be so dramatic about those things,” she said, adding that so many people these days live in a culture of fear. “When you feature the spirit, that all goes away. People take themselves entirely too seriously — what we wear, what we buy. That’s all gone after you’re dead.” In her live shows, Browne says she mostly talks about spirituality, however she does address those who have a specific question — be it about the future or about a loved one who has passed on. (Those who purchased VIP tickets for the Vernon show will have that opportunity.) “In the last 10 years, people have been asking me how they are doing spiritually. It used to be, ‘will I meet Mr. Right?’ Now it’s ‘Am I on the right track?’” she said. “Anytime they ask me a question, I’ll answer them. I don’t hide anything.” And she plans to continue as long as people keep asking, adding many of her family members have lived well into their 90s. “I am looking forward to seeing people on this tour. They give me a lot of joy. It’s wonderful to have a job that you enjoy and love,” she said. “In the end we’re all the same. We all go to the bathroom and we all want to seek a better life for ourselves and our families.” An Evening of insights and live readings with Browne starts at 7:30 p.m. April 2 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Regular tickets are still available and cost $61.50 at the Ticket Seller, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.

to exhibit and sell their work while promoting fine arts in the communities of Enderby and District,” said Tatianna O’Donnell, chair of the Enderby Artists’ Initiative, Courtyard Gallery. “They will be reaching out to the community with workshops and adding a revitalized quality to the downtown core. This will become a destination and the community will share in its success.” Although the doors of the gallery will open in early April, an official opening is planned for April 25 during B.C. Arts and Culture Week.

“A little birdie sat upon my window the other day. He was signaling spring and he said that there is going to be an art gallery in Enderby. There is? I asked. Yes he whistled and soon too. He didn’t stay long, just long enough to say that there is a gallery coming to Enderby…How amazing is that. When? I inquired...he just said watch for it!” Courtyard Gallery is at 907 Belvedere St., Enderby. The grand opening takes place April 25 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Artists will be in attendance, and refreshments will be served.

It’s one of those anomalies that we humans have debated since our brains started developing and we started questioning our existence. What is that connection between what is tangible — what we can feel, taste, touch and see — and what we can’t? Before you start cuing the Twilight Zone theme music, Sylvia Browne believes there is a connection between the spiritual world, and the pragmatic, and her beliefs and views often evoke a strong reaction — on both sides of the debate. About to make an appearance in Vernon for the first time on April 2, as part of her 50th anniversary tour, Browne is billed as the world’s most renowned psychic and spiritual teacher. The author of numerous best selling books on spirituality, Browne also has her share of detractors, due to what some have deemed as fraudulent and misleading predictions. Some of those claims against her have been well documented. (Those curious can watch a YouTube clip where CNN anchorman, now talk show host, Anderson Cooper takes on Browne on his show 360.) But Browne also has her supporters, as can be seen by the sold-out VIP section at the front of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, where tickets have sold for $95 a pop. On the phone from her home in sunny California, the notoriously frank, but personable Browne, now 76, says she has found Canada, for the most part, to be a welcoming place. She has toured here for years — the last time two years ago when she gave a talk in Kelowna. “There’s something about Canada. The first time I came, I felt I was home. They accepted me,” she said. However, her shows here have also evoked some criticism, as was apparent when it was first announced that she was returning to the Okanagan. Some made comments on The Morning Star’s website that Browne was selling a message, of psychic ability, that is unwarranted and unfounded. Some cited cases of false predictions. Browne is again frank when told of the reaction. “I don’t care about my detractors. We all have them. It’s the same as the attack on priests or anyone religious by atheists... I find it an oxymoron that some atheists have built a church,” said Browne, referring to an atheist temple being built in the U.K. And although some religious figures may question anyone who claims to have psychic abilities, Browne says her belief in God is unflinching. “Spirituality is the only thing you can count on. It’s not just

Johnson’s sound rings pure Betty Johnson: Saving My Heart

orth Okanagan singer/ songwriter Betty Johnson’s second album, Saving My Heart, is a sunny sounding recording done during a period of

loss for Johnson. It testifies to the transformative power of music. Johnson, an alumnus of the George Ryga Centre’s songwriting workshop, sounds energized and jazzily upbeat.

Although unintentional, the brightness and levity of Johnson’s material recalls the cha-cha mood of Sergio Mendez. The fundamental theme of Saving My Heart is love songs set to laid back acoustic sounds. This direction

lends itself to ballads, but Johnson favours a rootsy/folk/jazz mood that has a relaxed swing. This is enhanced by the subtle work of guitarist Neil Fraser and stand up bassist Bill Lockie, whose interplay is tasteful and vibrant. They

StreetDeanSoundS Gordon-Smith complement Johnson’s songs and vocal intuitively, giving the recording more of a combo feel than that of singer and back-up players. Johnson’s voice is honey-toned and friendly, never pushed and usually relaxed. She favours a pure sound that merges comfortably with the woody ring of the instrumentation. Her songs get sheen from the production work of Andrew Smith, who keeps the tracks clear and uncluttered by unneeded adornment. Her compositions shine when placed in simple settings — Johnson’s vocal is an ease-inducing entity and the standout songs

The not-so-Incredible Burt Wonderstone The incredible Burt wonderstone

salt shakers out of 5. — Taylor gives it 2 broken ankles out of 5.

he Incredible Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have been the headlining magic act at Bally’s Casino in Las Vegas for the last 10 years. Childhood friends that have amazed audiences their whole lives, Burt and Anton are surprised to discover their crowds getting smaller. A new brand of magician has come onto the scene, performing strange stunts and shocking audiences. Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) is the tattooed bad boy of magic who hasn’t gone unnoticed by casino owners. Will Wonderstone and Marvelton be able to change their outdated act to compete with a new style of magic? Will they be able to recapture some wonder by enlisting the help of an old master and inspiration Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin?) Will any of it be funny? We say, “It could have been a lot better.” TAYLOR: Sometimes when you walk out of a movie, all filing out together, you hear comments, perhaps a husband speaks to a wife, “That was

terrible.” Maybe, “It was stupid.” “Yeah stupid, but OK.” Sometimes I agree with what I hear, sometimes not. Today Mr. Howe and I went to a comedy, with A-list actors, where I don’t believe I heard anyone laugh out loud. I chuckled quietly to myself a few times, but the fact of the matter is, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, for all its strengths, fails due to lack of imagination. HOWE: I don’t know if I agree with you 100 per cent on that. There were a few funny moments, yes they were silly but they made me laugh. For example Carrey’s character at the end of the movie for his final act, he went back to his basics, pulling the daft faces that we love. TAYLOR: There are a few funny moments, but the story itself is a cliché driven, character flaw case study, formulaic and tired. Carell’s

Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi are cheesy magicians in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Wonderstone is the shallow jerk, Buscemi’s Marvelton is the bullied sycophant, even the marvellous Alan Arkin is reduced to the grumpy retiree. The only exception in this film is Jim Carrey, although his character is a copy of Wonderstone, his portrayal was more interesting to watch. Buscemi and Carell are just being, Carrey is doing, but it’s not enough to save the film. At least the film is tasteful. HOWE: I’m not a

huge fan of Carell’s, I’m not a fan of The Office (the American version anyway) and I don’t get the fact that he is meant to be funny as playing the lead guy in a comedy. He seems to be one of those actors that is better suited to playing the quirky guy like in Dan in Real Life or Brick out of Anchorman.

It’s a startling departure that jumps out of its surroundings, as does Nine which has a dramatic vibe that brings a dark side out of Johnson’s voice and music. These tracks

Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star

Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton (left) and members of the congregation Dawn Perkins and Muriel Sanderson look through some of the Bibles being given out by Knox Presbyterian Church to anyone in the community who would like one by stopping by an open house next week at the church.

Bibles for the community

Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

When Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton took up her post last summer at Knox Presbyterian Church, she discovered boxes of Bibles in the church basement. And, while the church did not need them, she hated to see them go to waste. Instead, she came up with the idea of donating the books to people in the community. “There has been a sharp increase in the cost of printing books and a lot of companies used to give away Bibles — Gideons still does — but the cost of a good, hardcover Bible can be as much as $50 and a lot of people can’t afford that. “People are desperate for them, and I always have a lot of extra Bibles I am not using. All of us have a favourite we like to use. I find at our Bible study, we all bring our favourites, so I figured that if I’ve got Bibles sitting on my shelf that I’m not using, I bet others do as well.” To that end, members of the congregation have been asked to donate Bibles that are no longer in use. “I want to have this be a community thing, for people to come and get a Bible,” said Charlton. “There are many people who would like to have one but simply can’t afford it.”

This is Faye... Faye has ideas for your entire house.

The church will host an open house on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to noon, each day, as well as Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. “We invite people to drop in, have a cup of tea, sit down and pick out a Bible, or feel free to bring one that you would like to exchange,” she said. “This is for the community, a way for us to share what we have.

“I figured that if I’ve got Bibles sitting on my shelf that I’m not using, I bet others do as well.” — Rev. Dr. Teresa Charlton “And if there are any left over, we will give them to organizations to send them where they are needed, such as remote locations in Canada and around the world.” For Charlton, it’s also a way of sparking a renewed interest in making Bible reading a daily habit. “For most people, it’s not part of our daily routine; if we have one on the shelf, we are not reading it, so I’d like to start

conversations between people and their Bibles.” When Charlton encourages members of her Bible study group to bring their favourite, it leads to some interesting conversation as to why certain words or phrases are used and not others. “One will speak to me and the other one won’t, so people are having conversations. Don’t have them sitting on the shelf, and if it’s not working for you, let’s find one that is,” said Charlton, who regularly turns to the New International Version for inspiration. “People don’t give themselves permission to say I need to hear God in a different way, but there is a wide variety of ways to tell the story, and if you are not hearing God, let’s change things. I challenge myself to read different versions and if I read it and it’s not speaking to me, I move down the shelf. It’s keeping myself open to hear the Bible in different ways, so I keep one of each version on my shelf. “At our Bible study, I find it’s a matter of keeping an open mind to what people are hearing.” Knox Presbyterian Church is at 370132nd Ave. (Alexis Park). For those who are unable to make it to one of the open houses, please call the church at 250-5428613 to make an appointment.

Mom complains about medical bill

ear Annie: I am a teenager in the northwest. Recently, I contracted a kidney infection that was painful and needed treatment. I didn’t know what I had and wasn’t familiar with the symptoms, so the only thing I said to my parents was that I didn’t feel well. After a few days, it got so bad that I had to go to the emergency room. I was given a prescription and healed, but the hospital bill was $600. When the bill came, my mother read me the riot act for costing her so much. She told me I should have said something earlier and saved them some money. That was true, and I apologized. But the impression I got is that my health is not worth that much money to her. I’ve never had a good relationship with my mother, but this stung. Why would she

annie's mailbox

Kathy mitchell & marcy sugar

insinuate such a thing? What should I do? — Not as Pretty as a Penny Dear Penny: We don’t think your mother meant to imply that your health is not worth $600. Have you ever seen a parent yell at a toddler for running into the street? It’s not out of anger. It’s because they were worried to death by what might have happened. We think this was your mother’s reaction. Your illness turned out to be curable, but it could have been something far worse. Becoming angry at the bill was emotionally

safer than facing her fears of losing you altogether. Please forgive her outburst. Dear Annie: I was married for 47 years to a man who did not want me making friends outside his family. Unfortunately, his family didn’t much care for me. I acquiesced to his wishes (pre-women’s rights). When he died, I tried volunteering in order to make friends, but I guess I am programmed to push people away. I correspond via e-mail with a few folks, but no one wants to take the friendship further. I let my son have my house and moved back to my hometown into a retirement place that my son convinced me would be beneficial. But they sold him a bill of goods about the activities here. There are none. No one wants to be friends. They

say good morning, but even my invites go unanswered. I would like to move, but I can’t afford it, and no one will help me pack up. People are full of suggestions — go to the mall, go to church. (I tried that, filled out a visitor card and never heard from them.) I’ll be 70 soon, and I feel life isn’t worth living if I have to be alone. — Florida Dear Florida: You sound terribly depressed, and this may be part of the reason you have trouble making friends. People are attracted to those who are upbeat and energetic, and those traits are difficult for you to display when you feel so low. Talk to your doctor about an antidepressant. Ask someone in charge whether you could help organize a group outing, perhaps to a movie or a play. Do some volunteer work

where your help will be appreciated and you can spend time getting to know others and practicing your social skills. You’ve spent years being “programmed” to push people away. Attracting them won’t happen overnight. Consider yourself a work in progress. Dear Annie: This is in reply to “A LongTerm Care Employee,” who admonished families for not bringing new clothing to nursing home residents. There is another factor at play here: dementia. My mother wears the same clothes over and over. She has new clothes in her closet. She doesn’t recognize them and thinks they are someone else’s clothes. I have tried to remove the most worn items, but she stands over me and says, “No, I wear that.” This perceived problem is not

Babysitters course offered for spring break Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna & District Safety Council recently announced that it would start bringing the Canada Safety Council’s popular babysitter training course to Vernon residents, and response was so positive that the course filled up in less than a week. In order to meet demand, KDSC has added another Spring Break course in Vernon to the schedule. The new course is set for Monday and Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day and will be held at the People Place in Vernon. Open to boys and girls ages

10 and up, the course offers a full 10 hours of actual training. Many important topics will be discussed, such as the rights and responsibilities of the employer, the child, and the babysitter, and the developmental and behavioral characteristics of children of different ages. Basic child care, nutrition, injury prevention, emergencies, age-appropriate play, and basic first aid procedures will also be covered. A special component of the course will prepare babysitters for handling the special needs of children who

are visually impaired, hearing impaired, physically disabled, speech impaired, and mentally challenged. “Although the Canada Safety council recommends that children don’t start babysitting until they are 12 years old, the reality is that many 10 to 12-year-olds help care for their younger siblings, and this course will give them the skills and information necessary to be much safer and aware babysitters and helpers,” says Tania Meyer, executive director. “Many parents also register their children in this course as

an alternative to Home Alone classes, as the curriculum covered in this babysitting course is much more in-depth than the Home Alone curriculum.” The course is only $60 (no taxes), and includes a KDSC Babysitter’s Gear Bag, a student reference book, and a graduation certificate. This class is expected to sell out, so contact the Kelowna and District Safety Council toll-free at 1-888-5807233 to register or for more information. Online registration is also available through the Babysitter Training page on KDSC’s website

at www.kdsc.bc.ca . KDSC is a non-profit organization and operates the Little Travellers’ Safety Village as well as a motorcycle and driver training facility.

PAIN RELIEF

FOR CHRONIC AILMENTS

Loose muscles

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since #23 taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN.
