has been overwhelming. “You walk through the hotel and there is emergency personnel with machine guns. I’ve never seen a crime scene 15 city blocks long,” he said. “There are military Humvees parked everywhere.” Prior to the explosion, Kovacs was visiting with others in the crowd, taking photos of their loved ones and exchanging e-mail addresses. “There are people I left there and I don’t know what happened to them. That’s very distressing,” he said. “All of the people who got hurt, they are just tourists from all over the world. They were just cheering people on.” The tragedy overshadowed Marnie’s appearance at her first Boston Marathon. “She had a wonderful run but it’s hard for her to celebrate,” said Gerry Kovacs. But as they left the hotel Tuesday and headed to Logan International Airport to return home, the Kovacs noticed a determination among Bostonians and visitors to not let a senseless act dominate their lives. “Everyone is taking every step to wish each other, ‘Good morning and be safe,’” he said.

The exhilaration of victory quickly shifted to fear and uncertainty. That was the scenario as bombs rocked athletes and fans at the iconic Boston Marathon Monday. “There’s a million people down here and to see the fear in people’s faces...it’s mass pandemonium,” said Coldstream’s Gerry Kovacs, who had spent the entire day near the finish line where the explosives went off, killing three and injuring hundreds of others. As wife Marnie completed the marathon in three hours and 31 minutes, he went to congratulate her. “I met up with her and we began to walk back. We could see runners coming in and that’s when the first explosion came on,” said Kovacs. “I had never heard anything like that. I could taste something in the air and I told Marnie, ‘We need to get somewhere and get safe.’ That’s when the second explosion started. We started running to our hotel.” David Regehr, also of Coldstream, was also at the finish line, waiting for wife Beth to finish her first Boston Marathon after qualifying six times before. “I saw a big puff of cloud and thought it was a signal blast. But with the second one, I knew it was an explosion,” he said. “She couldn’t get to where we were supposed to meet. There was a lot of chasing around for her in medic tents. She walked five miles back to the hotel because she couldn’t get any taxis and the subway was shut down.” David and Beth — who finished the race in four hours — were soon reunited, but he admits not everyone had such joyful reunions. “I felt fairly safe but when you are looking around, you are seeing crying people and they are worried about their family,” said David Regehr. As an RCMP corporal, Gerry Kovacs is used to difficult situations, but the scope of the Boston bombing

Election campaigning underway richard rolke

Morning Star Staff

And they’re off. The campaign for the May 14 provincial election officially got underway Tuesday. “The team is ready and the sign crew is ready to go,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee Liberal candidate. While Foster is the incumbent MLA, he says he is not taking victory for granted. “If you get complacent and you don’t work hard, you won’t win. We will be working hard,” he said, adding that the goal is to enhance awareness of the Liberals. We have done a good job and we have a good record.” In 2009, Foster won with 37 per cent of the ballots, while NDP candidate Mark Olsen got 32 per cent. Foster anticipates a similar situation this time around. “They are tight and we will have to get our people out,” he said. Olsen is representing the NDP once again. “I have a great team and we’re all excited,” he said. “We need to get the message out. We’re there for positive steps.” To do that, Olsen expects a lot of hard work and long days leading up to voting day. “We will have to knock on doors and talk to people. It’s basically about getting out there,” he said. Olsen also anticipates a neck-and-neck race. “It’s going to be tight. We will present our platform and hope people will see we’re heading in the right direction,” he said.

Jennifer Smith/morning Star

NDP supporters and campaign staff Rosalie Schmidt, Gwen Clark, Nicole Bownes and Annette Kazmar cross 32nd Street as they wave the orange flag at the bottom of hospital hill in Vernon Tuesday morning to kick off the official start to the provincial election campaign. This is the first provincial campaign for Scott Anderson, with the B.C. Conservatives. “We’re set up for signs and we will be holding a town hall meeting every week,” said Anderson. “We’re going to be touching the entire riding.” But Anderson believes many residents are

already aware of the alternative available to them. “Most people know what we’re doing. We are the only party that will lower taxes,” he said. Anderson is also expecting a tough fight for top spot, but his forecast differs from

Olsen and Foster. “We see the NDP as our biggest challenger in the constituency. The Liberals have marginalized themselves,” he said. The deadline for prospective candidates to file nomination papers is April 26. Advance polls will be held May 8 to 11.

Item thrown from bridge crashes into car RoGeR KNox Morning Star Staff

It could have been worse. A woman and her five-year-old child escaped injury after an object dropped from the railway bridge near the Kal Lake Store on Kalamalka Road in Coldstream smashed through the front windshield of the woman’s vehicle Friday night. “As you can appreciate the driver was very upset by this dangerous act,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “We are certainly fortunate there were no injuries.” And it wasn’t just one report of an item being

dropped off the bridge. Police were called at 7 p.m. for a report of several youth throwing water balloons from the bridge at vehicles. “Information is that there were between fourand-six males involved and one was wearing a light blue hoody and a baseball cap,” said Molendyk. “They were dropping items from the bridge on passing vehicles. It appeared to be water balloons or balloons with other items in them.” Molendyk could not say if it was a water balloon that crashed through the woman’s wind-

shield or if there was some other object involved. The driver of a city bus had to swerve to avoid being hit by a balloon. A group of youth were spoken to by RCMP but no arrests have been made and the matter remains under investigation. “Those involved could face charges of mischief under the Criminal Code,” said Molendyk. The police are asking anyone who saw the young men on the bridge that evening or knows who the youth were in this incident to please call the RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Shuswap candidates didn’t waste any time hitting the hustings as the provincial election campaign began Tuesday. “I’m driving around and putting up big signs,” said Tom Birch, B.C. Conservative candidate. “We are absolutely

CONGRATULATIONS!

Liberals back new leader Okanagan-Shuswap Liberals are standing behind their new leader. Montreal MP Justin Trudeau captured 80 per cent support during the federal Liberal leadership process that wrapped up Sunday. “He’s going to bring youth and excitement to the party,” said Janna Francis, the party’s local spokesperson, who was at the Ottawa convention. “He’s committed to developing policies and working at Janna Francis the riding level. There’s a lot of confidence.” There have been some questions about Trudeau’s level of experience, but Francis isn’t concerned. “There’s a lot of depth in the team surrounding Justin Trudeau. He’s a man who believes in the importance of a team,” she said. “Canadians are looking for someone who evokes emotion in politics.” Polls have indicated the Liberals have more public support than the official opposition NDP, but Francis admits a new leader is only part of restoring the party to its traditional role in govern-

ment. “This is day one of a lot of hard work but we’re up to it,” she said. Colin Mayes, Conservative MP for OkanaganShuswap, isn’t sure how much impact Trudeau will have federally. “It’s great to have a young, good-looking person but you need to have some substance,” said Mayes. “There’s a lot of hype but not a lot of policy statements you can make judgements on either good or bad.” Mayes believes media focus on the leadership contest has bolstered the Liberals’ poll standings but he says that may not be sustainable. “There are still two-and-a-half years of the (Conservative) mandate and we will have to see how it plays out,” he said. “We’ve had a great record as a government on the economy.” Nick Hodge, Okanagan-Shuswap NDP president, isn’t concerned about Trudeau and the Liberals undermining the position of his party. “There’s not much difference between the Conservatives and the Liberals. They govern from the right side and if you want change in Canada, the NDP is the way to go,” he said. “It’s a matter of spreading the word to Canadians.”

Trial date set Morning Star Staff

A trial date has been set for the Cherryville man accused of killing an Armstrong teenager. Matthew Foerster, 27, will stand trial for the murder of Taylor Van Diest on March 3, 2014, in Kelowna Supreme Court. Foerster will be tried before a judge and jury. The trial is expected to last six weeks. Van Diest was found seriously injured not far from her Armstrong home Oct. 31, 2011. She died from her injuries in Kelowna General Hospital Nov. 1. Foerster was arrested in April 2012 in Ontario and charged with her murder. His trial was to have started this month but Foerster has changed lawyers twice since being arrested, and his current counsel needed time to get up to speed on the case.

Thanks to a good citizen, some family keepsakes and treasures may have been turned into the Vernon RCMP detachment. Items found by the good citizen on Silver Star Road between Jackpine Gord Molendyk

and Ladner roads were turned in on April 10. “What is interesting is that one of the items turned in was a brown Readers Digest false book which opens up and contains items inside,” said Gord Molendyk, Vernon RCMP spokesman, referring to an item that looks like a book but has a storage compartment inside. Among the items found in the book were Alberta driver’s licences from a couple, one born in 1913, the other in 1915.

“It appears the wife’s birth certificate document and other paperwork which date back to the 1920s and 30s are in there as well,” said Molendyk. The RCMP suspect the items found could be from a recent break-and-enter in the area, and they would like to get this back to the rightful owners. It is possible the couple has passed on and they are keepsakes of family members. The owners can come into the RCMP office in Vernon and claim the items.

The S out h Thompson basin, covering the Duteau Creek reservoirs, was recorded at 111 per cent of normal. “This information indicates that we are currently experiencing an average year for snow levels,” said Posluns. “The B.C.

Grant received Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon is looking at infrastructure over the long-term. The city has received a $336,000 federal gas tax grant for the sustainable infrastructure investment plan. It will identify means to increase revenues for asset replacement and how to reduce costs. “Funding infrastructure renewal is essential to ensure a safe and functioning network of roads, sewers, and city-owned buildings. It is a key part of the future viability of the city and the services it provides,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky.

Turning Enderby into a horse-friendly community has revealed some divisions.

The city may require horse owners to carry clean-up bags but a staff report states there may be an impact on city resources to “maintain streets at a reasonable level,” to remove manure.

There will be a new way to have fun in the sun in Enderby this summer. The city has approved a kayak and stand-up paddleboard rental business at Belvidere Park from mid-June to Labour Day. “I would also like to promote the idea of moonlight paddles on evenings on or around the full moon,” said Steve Campbell, who is setting up the business. Besides Belvidere Park, Steve Campbell Campbell is also interested in using Tuey Park. Mayor Howie Cyr believes the operation could expand tourism opportunities. “There may be people who come to town and decide at the last minute to go on the river,” he said. Budget gets green light Enderby’s financial plan is moving ahead. Council has given three readings to the 2013 budget. “The next meeting (May 6) will be adoption,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. The budget calls for a three per cent increase in taxes, with the impact for the average property owner being $20. Of the three per cent tax increase, two per cent will go towards financing capital works and one per

cent is dedicated for equipment reserves. Operational costs, such as labour, have been covered through internal efficiencies “We’re pretty happy with it,” said Cyr of the budget.

There is also a concern about animals being left unattended and potential conflicts between horses and residents. “There are different variables when you put animals in with people,” said Knust. Signs will warn the public that the corral is unsupervised and they use the facility at their own risk.

Campaigning begins

e’ve seen the television advertisements over and over again. A group of enthusiastic teachers tell us how they love their jobs and are proud of their students. But the optimism is quickly shelved and the focus shifts to students being negatively impacted by a lack of one-on-one time, overcrowded classes and fewer special needs resources. “After a decade of government cuts, more of them are struggling,” say the teachers. They then go on to provide voters with advice leading up to the May 14 provincial election. “Let’s elect a government that gives kids the education they deserve.” Richard Rolke Not once is a political party mentioned but you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that it’s the Liberals being referenced when the discussion revolves around classroom cuts. And it’s doubtful the BCTF is leaning towards the B.C. Conservatives as the education saviour as that party has vowed to rein in spending. So that means the union is urging the public to cast ballots for the NDP. Given the tone of the ad, cynical viewers may wonder if Adrian Dix has promised that certain actions will be taken in return for the union trying to rally the troops towards an NDP win? That scenario is unlikely as previous elections have shown that the newbies can’t always proceed with grandiose plans until they get a look at the books. Are the finances actually in line with what the outgoing politicians portrayed?

That is a situation the Liberals faced when they took over in 2001, and it’s possible for Dix if he ousts Christy Clark from the premier’s chair. It would be premature, and irresponsible, for anyone to categorically promise that classroom sizes will shrink and more teachers will be hired until they know the money exists. It should also be pointed out that declining enrolment continues to be a critical problem for most school districts, including the North Okanagan-Shuswap, where the student population has shrunk by 25 per cent in the last decade. Given that we’re not having babies like we used to, is the next government going to consider additional payroll the best use of already limited dollars? By running the ads, the BCTF is likely just being over-eager that a like-minded party will soon be in Victoria and the endless conflict with the Liberals is coming to an end. Obviously it is the union’s right to participate in the democratic process, but it may be setting the NDP up for expectations that can’t be reasonably met. Also, the ad may leave many rank-andfile British Columbians with the impression that labour is not only pulling the strings of the NDP, but is setting the public agenda. And in always polarized B.C., similar refrains can be heard about the often close relationship between the Liberals and big business. It will be interesting to see what the general response to the BCTF ad is. For some, it will reinforce what they already thought about the state of education in the province. While for others, it will back up long-standing concerns about the influence third parties have on the people’s business.

Two explosions near the finish line of the famed Boston Marathon seem to indicate that terrorism attacks continue, with large, high-profile events in the U.S. the favoured targets. It is almost certain that these attacks were well-planned, and this was no accident. Anyone who pays attention to American culture knows that the Boston Marathon is among the most prestigious races of its type, and attracts major media attention. This is tailor-made for terrorists, who crave publicity. Their purpose is to scare large numbers of people, bring attention to themselves and show the United States and other major countries that, no matter how hard they try, they can’t completely stop these types of attacks. Terrorists seek, more than anything else, to disrupt the way of life most people in North America and Europe enjoy. They want to disrupt democracy and bring chaos, confusion and death to others — often claiming they are simply paying back western countries for past misdeeds. The Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, of course, were the worst terrorist attacks in living memory — but there have been others, in Bali, London and Mumbai. The culprits are a varied lot. While many attacks have been attributed to Al-Qaeda, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 was the work of a group of Americans angry at its own government. Canada, while it has escaped terrorist attacks, has had a number of near-misses. Several years ago, a group of young people were arrested outside Toronto, and they had plans to set off explosions. Just recently, two of the extremists who attacked an Algerian gas plant in January were from London, Ont. Terrorism is a sad fact of life in our modern age. — Langley Times

loss of trees I know I’m late with these comments but I want to toss them out there anyway. It’s about the “improvements” to the downtown area, most notably, the removal of the trees along with whatever else is being done to “enhance” downtown. What I want to know is why we, the people, weren’t asked what we would like done in this matter? It is, after all, our town. We pay the bills, we should get to say. After all, city hall is supposed to be working for us, so why weren’t we asked? Surely it wouldn’t have taken that much. A notice in the paper, an address where we could drop off a letter or an e-mail and one or two people to read through them and keep the best, most articulate letters, then perhaps a casual voter‘s terminal. On such a small matter, surely there could be a place where we could place our vote. It’s not a national matter here but it is a local matter. Trees take a great deal of time to mature in order to give us the shade and beauty that we need and love, not to mention, improving the quality of the air we breathe. City hall’s excuse for murdering the trees was, “they would have been in the middle of the sidewalk.” Well, golly gee, it is possible to side-step a tree. It isn’t as though they

It’s too late for those trees, but it isn’t too late for others that might stand in the way of “progress." Next time, city hall, remember whose town it really is. You are supposed to be representing and serving the people, not assuming you know best. Here’s another little item to go with the above. I took note of the high cost of these improvements that have been placed upon us, along with a hike in our parking fees. Sure, it’s not a huge hike but it’s an annoying hike, considering that we may not have really needed these “improvements”. Again, ask us. Maybe we’d have out-voted your experts and kept both the trees and our money, at least for another little while. We don’t always have to roll over and play dead for those in favour of the policy of “new is always better.” Sometimes, things only need a bit of repair and a brush up, maybe a fresh coat of paint. We are in a recession, folks, as if you haven’t noticed, with no improvement in sight, according to Ottawa. Ever heard of keeping to a budget or even, astounding thought, saving a bit of

whatever the city may have stashed in its coffers? It’s good housekeeping, therefore, that bit of wisdom should work well for the government as well. Try saving our money as well as our resources. It can happen. It does work. G.C. robertson baGs Good but... As dog owners who have always conscientiously picked up after our dogs, we noted with interest your recent story in The Morning Star stating that Armstrong is now providing dispensers with biodegradable bags in which people can pick up their dog's droppings. We are fortunate to live in a jurisdiction (Coldstream) which has provided this service for some time now and on occasion, should we be in need of more bags than we had planned for, we gratefully utilize these ones. Our complaint is not just about dog-owners who, "look the other way" as their dog does its business, thus giving the majority of dog owners a bad name. This is bad enough. What is much worse, in our opinion, is those who assiduously pick up after their dogs, so as to be seen by others to be doing the right thing, tie up the bags and then leave the bags on the ground, or throw them in the

In other words we don’t have consensus on the most basic objectives for our community. A great example would be development and zoning. Do we want a compact and more densely developed community with easy access to the surrounding countryside or do we want traditional, suburban-style subdivisions with the accompanying road development that will be required? You can’t have both. It’s a one or the other choice. This vision issue belongs to us all and we need to engage each other as citizens in active debate with ourselves, our neighbours and our government. If we don’t, it will be business as usual. That is copping out on our responsibilities to our children if you ask me. ritchie leslie

bushes or whatever. I don't get it. Do they think someone else is going to come and pick it up and carry it to a waste bin for them? Or do they think that the bagged feces will somehow biodegrade faster than if left on the ground in its natural state? Or could they possibly think it looks more aesthetically pleasing? Perhaps they think it is less disgusting to step in bagged feces than on feces left au naturale? I do wish someone who employs this appalling habit would reply, and explain their rationale for me. I admit that on the odd occasion, when we are only a short way into our long walk for the day, and know we will be back along the same path, we will bag our dog's droppings and leave it in a spot where we will pick it up on the way back. This is only if there are no garbage receptacles in the area and we prefer not to carry the bag around for an hour or more. But the bags I refer to above, are the ones that have obviously been there not just for hours, but for days, and weeks and even months. I often walk the same route when I walk alone, and see the same repulsive bags full of droppings week after week. Please, if you are a dog owner who enjoys the privilege of walking your dog in local parks or streets, employ one of the most basic func-

tions of dog ownership: pick up after him. The non-dog loving public will be happier, and the many responsible dog owners will not have to bear the stigma of your deplorable habit. doreen Huggins

Community engagement lacking

e need a vision for Vernon and the surrounding region. Right now, we lack a vision that unites the population at large and our local government, including both staff and council. The recent track and field facility referendum is an excellent case in point. Regardless of the outcome, it was not a great indicator of a healthy community. According to numbers on The Morning Star website, 52 per cent voted yes, 47 per cent voted no and only 18 per cent of the eligible voters actually voted. The result? Most of us are too apathetic to vote and those that did are evenly split. While I commend those who decided to put it to a vote, the result is hardly something to celebrate. Score about two out of 10 for community engagement.

The Cookers serve up hard-boppin’ jazz Dvoira YanovskY

For the Morning Star

Get out of the kitchen and down to the Vernon Jazz Club when The Cookers serve up an evening of straight-ahead hardbop this Saturday. Formed in March 2010, the quintet is an exciting ensemble of some of Canada’s finest jazz musicians. Bandmates are Ryan Oliver on tenor sax, Tim Hamel on the trumpet, and Richard Whiteman on piano, with “rhythm pals” Alex Coleman on bass and Joel Haynes on drums. Informed by the hard-bop tradition of the ‘50s and ‘60s, The Cookers’ repertoire includes accessible original music and tunes by Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, and Horace Silver. Originals include Oliver’s Mudbug Shuffle about a questionable “culinary experience” in New Orleans and Coleman’s Obligatory Blues, a boogaloo blues tune inspired by the Blue Note era of jazz. Their debut CD, The Cookers: Vol. 1, was released in 2011 to critical acclaim. A Juno-nominated musician, Oliver performs with various other bands including Organic, a B3 organ jazz combo featuring Bernie Serensky, and The Shuffle Demons, with whom he has toured India, New Zealand, Australia, the U.S., and Canada. A B.C. boy, Oliver first got into

“I was lucky that a great saxophone player and teacher named Michael Butterfield had moved to Williams Lake,” said Oliver. “Michael introduced me to the world of jazz and the saxophone, and provided me with extensive bandstand experience.” At ease in many genres, Oliver includes jazz greats John Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, and Sonny Stitt

among his musical influences. “My approach to musical collaboration is simple: listen, project, swing hard, learn tunes, and play within the music. This approach allows me to play with a wide variety of groups, from straight ahead standard jazz, to the eclectic music of The Shuffle Demons, to the electric blues-rock of Derek Miller’s Bliss Fiasco,” said Oliver.

Hamel is one of Toronto’s most in demand trumpeters. He was featured on aboriginal blues artist Derek Miller’s most recent recording with Willie Nelson and legendary blues rhythm section Double Trouble. One of Canada’s top-shelf pianists, Whiteman brings to the stage an encyclopedic knowledge of the jazz repertoire, embodying the spirit of the musicians The Cookers love. Whiteman is also an educator, teaching jazz piano and leading ensembles at both Humber College and York University in Toronto. Coleman maintains a busy performing and recording schedule in Toronto as one of the city’s dynamic young bass players. He leads and arranges for Tonight at Noon, an eight-piece group that performs the music of bassist and composer Charles Mingus. Haynes is one of the hardest swinging drummers across the land, performing with artists like Seamus Blake, Russell Malone, Peter Frampton, Gino Vanelli, and Rob McConnell. The Cookers’ tour is made possible by a grant from The Canada Council for the Arts. The Cookers take the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000-31st St., upstairs from Nolan’s Pharmasave, Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup coffee houses or at www.vernonjazzclub.ca.

minor offences, come under the supervision of Harry (John Henshaw, a familiar face from many TV dramas) to do community service, doing such things as cleaning cemeteries and painting community centres. Robbie is determined to go straight and be a good father, and when his child is born, Harry wets the baby’s head with some good Scotch. In doing so, he discovers Robbie has what is known as a “natural nose” for the hard stuff. The group are taken on a tour of a distillery, then to a whisky tasting in Edinburgh, which offers the viewers a delightful history of Scotch, its production and consumer appreciation. The discovery that Robbie has this natural talent, or “nose,” leads to his discovery of a vocation, his return to crime and his ultimate redemption. It all involves a consign-

ment of rare Scotch, and an attempted heist (with references to the old movie Whisky Galore). With a warmth missing from some other heist movies, the viewers care for this group of unemployed youth who are trying to change their lives in a different way. As one critic notes: “There is politics underlying every aspect of this funny, warmhearted, deftly plotted film, and we fervently wish for the caper planned by this endearing quartet to succeed.” The film’s title, The Angels’ Share, is apparently the term used to refer to the two per cent of whisky that evaporates in the cask each year. For those concerned they may not understand the strong Glaswegian accent, there are some subtitles. Tickets are $7, available one week ahead at the Towne Cinema and the Bean Scene.

Pianist joins OSO for Kaleidoscope Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra welcomes Minsoo Sohn to the stage as it performs Kaleidoscope this week in Vernon and Kelowna. Sohn is known as a performer with poetic vision and musical intelligence, described by The Boston Globe as an “artist, a man who will create life in music, find listeners, and reward them.” “We are excited to welcome Minsoo to perform with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra for the first time,” said OSO general manager Scott Wilson. “Minsoo’s flair, combined with the talent of our orchestra, will leave guests enjoying a performance with pieces ranging between heroic and the tenderly romantic.” The OSO will perform Pierre Mercure’s Kaleidoscope, one of the composer’s earliest pieces written in 194748. The orchestra then moves on to perform Piano Concerto No. 2, written by Sergei Rachmaninoff, a piece that

displays its emotions directly, and is particularly warm and melancholy. The final piece of this concert is Symphony in D Minor, composed by Cesar Franck, which is filled with bursts of slow movement to dramatic fury. As part of the OSO outreach program, Sohn will also be offering a master class workshop in Kelowna Friday from 3 to 5 p.m., providing students and those interested an opportunity to learn from a Canadian master. “Musicians of all ages are looking forward to the opportunity to listen and learn, and anyone with an interest in observing this workshop is welcome to join us,” said Wilson. The workshop takes place at the Christ Lutheran Church, 2091 Gordon Dr., Kelowna. Kaleidoscope takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469 or online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Special to The Morning Star

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the most common neurological disorders that affect mainly people over the age of 55 although the last several years show an increase of it being diagnosed in those younger. PD is a slow, progressive and debilitating disease with some of the characteristics being tremors, slowing of movements, muscle rigidity and cramps, shuffling walk, decrease in postural stability, impaired balance, fatigue. These and other symptoms vary from person to person, with some usually occurring early on while some later in the disease process. They are due to a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain and by the time one is diagnosed with PD up to 50 per cent of those cells are already lost. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that allows nerve impulses to travel from one cell to another telling the muscles what the brain wants them to do. The severity and progression of Parkinson’s is individual and is managed by things such as medication, physical therapy, a surgery called deep brain stimulation and more, but one of the things a person with this disease can do to be proactive in their own well-being and make a difference in their day-to-day life is exercise. Being active is one of the most important things any of us can do for ourselves. It has been shown that if an individual with PD participates early on in a regular, well-rounded, enjoyable exercise program it can slow the onset of some symptoms, can slow the progression of existing ones, and in some cases people have been able

www.vernonmorningstar.com

to reduce the amount of medication they are currently taking. In Vernon we are lucky to have fitness professional Rhona Parsons take a special interest in working with people who have PD. She teaches a twice weekly exercise class put together specifically for those with the disease, has facilitated the local Parkinson’s SuperWalk which takes place in September, and has recently attended an intense Parkinson Wellness Recovery training course under the guidance of neuroscientist Dr. Becky Farley. She hopes to add more classes to her schedule so that she may bring hope and optimism to others with PD. PD does not only affect the individual but the whole family so it is important to make sure those members — who at some point may become caregiver — learn and understand PD and know that there is a network of people offering help and concern such as Vernon’s Parkinson Support Group, the Parkinson Society of B.C., family doctors, specialists, extended family, exercise professionals, pharmacists, etc. The local support group meets the third Thursday of the month at People Place at 1 p.m. Often there are guest speakers who offer information on relevant topics such as medication, travel insurance, tax benefits, etc. At the Thursday meeting, Parsons will be talking about as well as demonstrating key points she has brought back from her workshop with Dr. Farley. Everyone is welcome at any of the meetings. For more details, call Gord/Pat Nuyens at 250-542-9026, Nell Friesen at 250-549-1580 or Paul Jones at 250542-7563.

Potatoes will grow anywhere

ven if you only have a small garden or a balcony, the good news is that you can still grow potatoes successfully. You can grow potatoes in any large container that has good drainage. If your potatoes sit in water, they will rot. I don’t use garden soil in my containers because of the clay content of Jocelyne sewell our soil, and also garden soil compacts too much in containers. Use a high quality potting mix. I add compost to mine and slow release organic fertilizer. I also feed my plants with fish fertilizer and compost tea as they grow. Some people wait for their potatoes to sprout before planting and others just plant them. If they are small you don’t have to cut them but if you do, make sure they have at least two eyes on each piece of potato. The plants can grow quite large so make sure you have a fair size pot. I was given a special container which is 15 inches (38cm) wide and 18 inches (45cm)

A GArdener’s diAry

deep specially for potato growing. It has holes for drainage and little pockets down the sides for “stealing” some early crop. I already have four plants waiting for transplants which I will put in it. When you are ready to plant, fill your container with at least four to six inches (10-15cm) of potting soil. If it doesn’t already have fertilizer in it, mix in a slowrelease, preferably organic. After you have planted your seed potatoes, cover them with two to three inches (five to eight cm) of soil and compost. The cooler the climate, the less soil you should put on top. Water well. If it is hot or very windy, the soil will dry more quickly. To check moisture level, stick your finger into the soil at least to the second knuckle. If it feels dry, water. You need at least six to eight hours of sun a day Once your potato plants have grown around six inches, you are going to “hill” them by adding a combination of soil and compost. You want to add a couple of inches of a soil and compost mix around your potato plants. Be careful not to break the plants while doing this. You will be covering some of the leaves of your potato plants with your soil compost mix, but you want at least 2/3 of the plant with its

leaves to be sticking out of the soil. You’ll want to repeat this process of adding a soil/compost mix a few times more as your plants grow or until your soil reaches the top of your container. Potato plants grow fast, so keep an eye on them and don’t let them get ahead of you. You can begin to harvest potatoes any time after the plants have flowered. Just carefully reach down into the soil of your container and pull out some potatoes. You can also wait until the plants turn yellow and die back and then harvest all of the potatoes. The easiest way to do this is to turn the container over, dump it out into a wheelbarrow or onto a tarp. Then you can freely check through the soil to find all of the potatoes. You may find some really tiny potatoes, and those can be some of the best and sweetest. Shoots n’ Blooms, the Earth Day Food Action Society event, will take place at Fieldstone’s Organic Granary, 4851 Schubert Rd., Armstrong on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Come celebrate the beginning of a new growing season. The fun includes live music, artisans, Fieldstone tour, food, farmers. Everyone is welcome and admission is free. For more information: 250-558-4556.

Roasting for flavour

attended a fundraiser dinner for Lutheran World Relief Sunday evening, and was reminded just how much this community cares. Some 200 people were able to raise close to $10,000, which when matched by government dollars, is a substantial amount of money toward poverty and relief programs. We shared in a delicious roasted pork meal complete with homemade chutney, apple sauce, mashed spuds, gravy, vegetables, Caesar salad, and apple crisp and ice cream for dessert. cathi Litzenberger The following pork recipe is for the less expensive pork roast cuts. Loins are so much easier to slice but often do not have the amazing flavour as from a shoulder or butt roast. The apple and raisin chutney goes well with cold or hot pork and is always nice to have on hand instead or, in addition to, apple sauce. Roasted Pork Shoulder 1 boneless pork shoulder (about 4 lbs.), skin on 4 garlic cloves, smashed 1 handful fresh oregano 4 tbsp. Kosher salt (1 tbsp. for every pound of meat) 1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar Place the pork, fat-side up, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack insert, and using a sharp knife, score the surface of the meat with small slits.

kitchen wit & wisdom

Mash the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper into a paste on a cutting board with the flat side of a knife; place this mixture in a bowl and stir in the oil and vinegar. Rub the garlic paste all over the pork, being sure to get into the incisions so the salt can penetrate the meat and pull out the moisture — this will help form a crust on the outside when cooked. Cover the pork with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least three hours or up to overnight. Allow the meat to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Roast the pork for three hours, uncovered, until the skin is crispy-brown. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing. Apple and Raisin Chutney 4 lbs. apples, peeled, cored and chopped 4 medium onions, peeled and finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed 1 lemon, juice only 1 tbsp mustard seeds 900ml/1½ pint vinegar (cider or malt), divided 450g/1-lb. raisins (I like the golden raisins) 1 tbsp. ground ginger 2 tsp. salt 900g/2-lb. soft brown sugar Bring the apples, onions, garlic, lemon juice, mustard seed and 1 pint of the vinegar to the boil. Simmer for 1 hour. Add the raisins, ginger, salt, sugar and the rest of the vinegar. Simmer until thick. Pour into clean, hot jam jars and cover as usual. Seal. Store for 6-8 weeks to allow the flavours to develop. Perfect for any pork dish.

Party celebrates volunteers Morning Star Staff

Volunteers are the heart of a successful community, and the Vernon Public Art Gallery wants to show its appreciation for all who give back by hosting its second annual community wide Volunteer Appreciation Event, in partnership with the Vernon and District Volunteer Bureau during National Volunteer Week. Taking place April 24, the event is open to all non-profit organizations who wish to give a special thanks to the volunteers who play such an important role in our community. “The gallery is not only a cultural institution, but it also acts as a venue for community events. As a charitable organization that relies heavily on volunteers, it only made sense to provide the facility for a community-wide volunteer appreciation event. We have the space and the administration to aid in organizing an event that other agencies don’t,” said executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “We are proud to partner with outstanding notfor-profits in the Greater Vernon area on this spe-

cial day and for many years to come.” VPAG is pleased to announce a special guest speaker, volunteer advocate, RDNO chairperson and Vernon Coun. Patrick Nicol. “Mr. Nicol is a longtime supporter of the gallery. We are thrilled to have him speak to our guests on the importance of supporting arts and culture in Vernon. Volunteerism is the heart of our community,” said Kennedy Grant. Catered by The Fig

Catering, volunteers can relax and enjoy an afternoon of music, snacks and refreshments, and be entered to win door prizes, all while enjoying the surroundings of the current exhibitions at the gallery. The event is also sponsored by Investors Group. Cost to participating agencies is $2.50/volunteer. For more information and to register your volunteers, please contact the gallery at 250545-3173 or info@vernonpublicartgallery.com

Lake Country opens taps to safe water Morning Star Staff

The District of Lake Country has celebrated the completion of the Wood Lake water quality and supply improvement project. The infrastructure upgrades, as part of the Kalamalka Lake interconnect project, have resulted in improved reliability and water quality and the lifting of the permanent boil water notice that has been in place since 2010 for the Oyama Lake source. “In our program of ongoing infrastructure upgrades, this project was the next major step in achieving our vision of providing safe drinking water in a sustainable and affordable manner for our community and environment,” said Mayor James Baker James Baker. Commissioning of the new Oyama reservoir and chlorination station occurred in February and ultraviolet disinfection on the Kalamalka Lake source was commissioned at the end of March. The $5.5 million project was made possible with a $3.36 million contribution from the federal and provincial governments. “We really appreciate the funding assistance provided by the senior levels of government which was crucial to moving this project to completion,” said Baker. The major goal of the project was the provision of UV disinfection and Kalamalka Lake water supply to the Wood Lake water system with the following integrated components: n Ultraviolet treatment and capacity upgrades to the Kalamalka Lake pump station to improve water quality and quantity. n Construction of the Sawmill booster station and 850 metres of water main to connect the Oyama east and west bench distribution systems. n Construction of the Oyama Creek 1,500 cubic-metre concrete storage reservoir, intake upgrades and new chlorination system. The benefits associated with this completed project include: n Improved water quality and fire protection n Water conservation and green design n Reduced customer complaints n A more secure source of water n Savings on operating costs n Provision of a mitigation strategy in the event of a drought. This project will serve about 2,400 residents.

risky for those who may be more vulnerable like young children, seniors, and people with certain medical conditions or compromised immune systems. “This year we saw an increase in cases of whooping cough (pertussis) here in Interior Health and some parts of our province experienced significant outbreaks,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer. “This is an important reminder that we need to keep our immunization rates high to help prevent outbreaks like this from happening.” Parker says vaccines don’t just prevent diseases, but they also reduce the possibility of serious complications with vaccine-preventable diseases. “Mumps, measles, and rubella viruses can lead to potentially deadly complications like pneumonia and encephalitis,” he said. “The main side effects associated with getting vaccines are minor and temporary, such as a sore arm or mild fever. The likelihood of having a serious side effect from a vaccine is extremely small. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.” For more information, go to www.immunizeBC. ca.

Armstrong project takes root Morning Star Staff

As gardens are starting to take root, those with a little spare room are urged to plant some extras to help others. “Although the Armstrong Food Initiative Society won’t be starting the Produce Sharing Program at the community garden behind the red caboose until July 15, we are encouraging anyone who has room in their garden to plant an

extra row or two,” said Jill de la Salle, with AFIS. Any excess produce can be brought to the volunteers at the community garden between 9 and 10 a.m. Mondays. From 10 a.m. to noon, this will be passed on to people who do not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The program will run every Monday from July 15 to Oct. 14. “This is the fifth year AFIS

has run the program,” said de la Salle. “We are starting a month earlier again this year as some of the growers have an abundance of early crops like lettuce, spinach, radishes, or rhubarb which they would like to donate. “Sharing produce not only provides people with fresh locally grown food, but generates a conversation about growing food, preparing food and storing food.”

“I can’t imagine anyone training for this,” said Heinrichs, who is a regular triathlete. “But to get the most out of it, cyclists should be able to ride for three to four hours.” The first leg starts in Salmon Arm. It’s the shortest and easiest leg, mostly downhill on back roads to the Vernon campus. The second day,

United U17 boys snuff out Blaze

Christensen pockets pair

The Vernon United U17 boys opened their Thompson Okanagan Rep Soccer League season Sunday with a 2-1 victory over the Kamloops U18 Blaze. The first goal came off a cleverly-played pass from Dylan Towns to Lendrit Ademi, who beat the Kamloops keeper with a onetimer. The second goal was the result of a nice three-way play, with Liam Curran giving a precession pass to Lucas Ross, who set up Ademi for another one-timer. Vernon keeper Dave Weir made a series of clutch stops in the second half with Kamloops applying pressure. The Blaze converted in the closing minutes. Nathan Gatenby hit the post on a tremendous kick in the second half. Defenders Menno Burnet and Ben Aspenlieder repeatedly foiled the Kamloops offence.

Mason Christensen scored twice as the Vernon U13 girls shut down Penticton 3-0 Sunday afternoon at Marshall #4. Strikers Alyssa Racine, Jai Sidhu and Christensen sparkled with Sidhu scoring on a great solo effort. Coach Al Gee also had praise for midfielder Abbey Magnus with a number of strong attacking runs. Shawna Bradley was solid in net. In U15 girls play, Vernon began their season with a 5-0 bouncing of the Kamloops Blaze Orange at Marshall #5. Brianne Roberstson opened the offence with a towering kick just over the keeper and inside the post. Maya Bandy made it 2-0 on an amazing individual run, putting on a ballcontrol clinic before unleashing a low blast.

Vernon added insurance on a scramble with Perez Vermeulen burying a shot low. “It was a great team win; we came together as a unit,” said United head coach Roy Cooper. “We had lots of good movement off the ball. Micah Martens was solid in net and we were very impressed with newcomer Trent Graham, who was solid on the back line.” United U16s played to a 1-1 tie with Kamloops in lousy conditions Sunday at Marshall #2. United’s Michael Williamson freed himself of defenders to drill a shot, bottom corner, with three minutes left. Striker Liam Ross just missed on a great shot late in the game.

The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers showed they can get it done with either stingy defence or explosive offence at the NOW AT Archie Jack Junior B Lacrosse Ice Breaker tournament in Armstrong. The Cats opened the tourney with a 5-2 decision over the host Armstrong Shamrocks Saturday morning at NorVal Sports Centre, and then rocked the Kamloops Venom 11-6 in the afternoon. “We weren’t looking at the win or loss column; it was strictly an opportunity to assess the new guys coming in,” said head coach Myles Brumpton. “The Ice Breaker is good for three things – assessing players, getting back our timing and building confidence of everybody.” Vernon’s Darryl Landels and Nolan Frame each pocketed a pair against Armstrong, with Ryan Sarazin adding a single. Assists went to Mason Limb, Jordan Orr, Craig Bigsby and Derick Davis. Conor Payne and Drew Hassard answered for the Irish. Todd Hoggarth added a helper.

Brook Wagner (right) of the Vernon Tigers battles Austin Williamson of the Armstrong Shamrocks in the Junior B lacrosse Ice Breaker tournament Saturday at Nor-Val Centre. Like Brumpton, Armstrong head coach Bryan Cope used the Ice Breaker as a final audition for his players before the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League begins this weekend. Armstrong opens regular-season play against the Raiders Friday night (7:30) at Nor-Val. The Shamrocks visit Kamloops Saturday night. The Cats don’t get going until Saturday, April 27 when they visit Armstrong. “I just wanted to mainly see what the guys could do and see if they could show me something different than what they do in practice,” said Armstrong head coach Bryan Cope. “We just have to start putting more in the net. The effort’s there, we just have to dial it in a bit.” Meanwhile, the North Okanagan Legends opened the Bantam A2 season with a doubleheader sweep, recording 7-3 and 8-4 wins over the Penticton Heat Saturday. Brett Olson and Conor Webb each had two goals in the opener, with singles coming from Jakob Schweb, Stephane Richard and Cameron Lock. The Legends carried the play in the first and third periods, outshooting Penticton 36-25 overall. They allowed one goal on the powerplay, but also surprised Penticton

with two goals on the short man. Captain Stephane Richard led the team in hits and was a standout on the penalty kill. Jake Pelletier canned 3+1 in the second match, with Olsen, Jayden Jensen-Hunter, Richard, Kayden Beauregard and Webb adding singles. The Legends built period leads of 2-1 and 6-1 and outshot the Heat 36-21. The larger, more physical Legends earned 43 penalty minutes, including a game misconduct, to Penticton’s six PIMs. Curtis Hubert and Beauregard played solid on short man. “The effort was good and the boys seem eager to play,” said Legends’ coach Rich Zecchel. “Our defence was much improved from Game 1. The offence from both games was definitely not according to our game-plan but we did score enough to win.” In Bantam B2 play Sunday in Armstrong, the Legends bowed 5-3 to Penticton, who scored twice shorthanded and twice on the powerplay. Taylor Pelttier recorded 32 stops to keep North Okanagan competitive, and Chase Bronson tallied twice for the Legends. Brodie Drydyk added a third as the Legends made a strong push in the third period.

In their second game of the day, United brushed back Kamloops Orange 3-2 with the Blaze scoring first. Vernon’s Kelsey Falk levelled the score minutes later with a beautiful shot from the top of the box. Kamloops kept up the pressure but goalie Elena Gaskell made some stellar saves to keep it tied at the break. Early in the second half, Falk scored again. Despite some great defensive play by Nadia Smith, Sydney Bergman, Elliana Gutknecht and Sienna Belanger-Lee, Kamloops rallied to equalize. Vernon responded late when Emily Thomas used some fancy footwork to net the winner.

Vernon #1 U12 fell 4-1 to powerful Kamloops at Kings Park. United moved the ball well and kept pace with Kamloops, tying it 1-1 on a dazzling long shot from Talia Quiring. Despite some great runs to net in the second half by Keira Correias, and tireless work by midfielder Emilia Durfeld, the girls weren’t able to capitalize again. In Game 2, United got gutsy performances by Grace Atkins and Olivia Sawka in a 4-0 loss to Kelowna Red. The defensive line held strong, backed up by keeper Megan Sherwood, who made some great saves, keeping Kelowna to one strike in the first half.

Vees rebound in Fred Page final Morning Star Staff

Home-ice advantage is proving critical in the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup final. After dropping the opening two games of the best-of-seven set in Surrey, the Penticton Vees rebounded with a 3-2 win over the Eagles Monday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Game 4 went Tuesday in the South Okanagan. Game 5 goes Thursday night at South Surrey Arena. Vees’ sniper Brad McClure scored twice in the first period and Cody DePourcq notched the winner midway through the third. The teams traded goals in the first 20 minutes with Surrey’s Nic Pierog and Brady Shaw replying to each of McClure’s tallies. DePourcq finished a nice feed from Travis Blanleil for the winner, and Chad Katunar made 28 saves to preserve the win. Meanwhile, the Richmond Sockeyes claimed the provincial Junior B title with a 4-1 win over the Victoria Cougars in Sunday’s championship final of the Cyclone Taylor Cup in Comox. The Cougars jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal by Matthew Ho, but the Sockeyes stormed back with four unanswered from Jeremy Hamaguchi, Jake Roder, Liam Lawson and Rudie Thorsteinson. Jamie Vlanich had two goals and an assist as the Castlegar Rebels bounced the host Glacier Kings 5-4 in the bronze-medal game. Comox netminder Michael Hails, a Vernon product, recorded 42 stops. Connor Beauchamp made 17 saves for Castlegar. The Sockeyes advance to the Keystone Cup western championships, starting today in St. Malo, Man.

Devin Hospes, (Kiwi) Dan Eyles and Nate Martel recorded tries for the Jackals (1-1). Trevor Miyazaki booted three conversions. It was 21-5 Vernon at the break. “This was a nice bounce-back win for our club, after a disappointing loss a week ago in Kelowna,” said Jackals’ veteran Mike Scheller. “We were happy with the way some new players stepped up. We tackled and defended very well all game and that was the difference.” The youthful Manthers held a lot of possession and territory, but the Jackals showed a lot of heart in stopping most of their runs and allowing a dangerous counterattack. The Manthers held the edge in play in the final half. “Trevor Miyazaki had a great game at standoff,” said Scheller. “He does a great job of directing our attack. Fullback Devin Hospes had one of his best games in a Jackal uniform. He counterattacked their kicks with some strong runs and was a force defensively.” Scheller praised the aggressive play by the Vernon forwards, noting playing/coach Garth Cooke, a flanker, was all over the field making numerous tackles and golden runs. Eyles, the other flanker, was crunching people all over the field, while hooker Eric Sundquist was also tough in the loose play. In North Zone junior boys rugby Monday, Scheller’s Fulton Maroons brushed back the Kalamalka Lakers 15-10 on tries by Sikandar Ahmad, Brett Shaigec and Karl Main. “Both teams have some solid athletes and the game was a hard-hitting affair,” said Scheller. “We tackled well, rucked well and held possession of the ball for most of the game. I thought we might have scored a bit more, but Kal fought and tackled well. Our scrums and lineouts were very efficient all game and hooker Kyle Dennis did a good job of stealing their ball in the scrums.”

No. 8 man Davron Polok also had a great game for the Maroons, while Main, at inside centre “has been a great find for us, and he continues to improve.” Scrum half Bryn Bedard provided a lot of good balls to the Fulton backs. Franky Gettis and Ryan Vadnais were very good at lock. “Our forwards played well and it is a credit to forwards coach Shayne (Gator) Gaythorpe,” said Scheller. “Coach Gaythorpe is moving for awhile due to school and work commitments and it will be a big blow to our athletic program.”

McEachran-Law sizzles in Osoyoos Morning Star Staff

Frigid conditions didn’t seem to bother Vernon’s Matt McEachran-Law as he shot even-par 72 Saturday to win the Zone 2 Junior Golf Tour opening stop at the Osoyoos Golf and Country Club. It was the first-ever Tour win for the 16-year-old, whose older brother, Chris, struggled with the driver but scrambled to a 75, good enough for sixth. Mackenzie Barrie of Vernon posted a solid 2 -over 74 to win the girls’ division and tie for fourth overall in the combined field. On Sunday, at the Nk’Mip Desert Canyon Golf Course, with the threat of snow lingering, Penticton’s Zachary Gardner was the winner with a 73. Austin Bosquet of Vernon bounced back in a big way from the previous day’s 88, shaving off 13 strokes for a 75 and second place. Chris McEachranLaw placed fifth with a 77, and Matt shot 80. The Tour has stops this weekend at the Penticton and Summerland Golf Clubs.

Smith rules Rosters tourney Morning Star Staff

The inaugural Interior Open Squash Championships at Rosters last weekend marked the 20th anniversary of the sports club. It also featured some dynamic squash with Stuart Smith of Revelstoke stopping Jeremy Tymkiw of Salmon Arm 13-11 in a 50-minute, fifth-game battle for the men’s A title. “Stuart ran me very hard,” said Tymkiw. “I felt strong going into the fifth and I knew it would be close. It was a great weekend.” Gus Morris, a co-owner of Rosters, placed third in men’s A. Brad Carson of Calgary topped men’s B ahead of Vernon’s Chris Torrie and Nelson’s Andy Cowan, while Rob Relling of Vernon ruled the men’s C in front of Jeremy Giroux of Vernon and Tim Pottridge of Calgary. The men’s D crown went to Russ Relling of Vernon followed by Rod Mallean of Kelowna. Rosters used the tournament to also jumpstart the September launch of its junior program with certified coaching. “It is time to look to the future,” said Morris, who like many regular players, started in his 20s when he didn’t have a family. “We all know as parents that involving our children in sports is key to their success in life.”

The North Okanagan Kingfishers won the inaugural West Kelowna Knights Challenge Spring Hockey Tournament, lassoing the Calgary Cowboys 12-3 in Sunday’s final. JJ Milne paced the Kings with four goals, while Deagan McMillan notched the hat trick. Zac Milne added a pair and Taryk Filipuzzi had three helpers in support of Logan Killingbeck. “For some reason our team struggles out of the gate and we were down 3-2 after the first,” said Kingfishers’ head coach Tim Milne. “Then the boys cranked it up a notch and scored five unanswered goals in the second. We stepped up the defensive game, attacked the puck and shut ‘em down.” The Kingfishers struggled early in the tournament, defeating Prince George Blackhawks 4-3 before re-grouping with a 13-3 victory over the Chilliwack Junior

In the semifinal, the Kingfishers defeated a tough Vancouver Junior Giants 4-1, setting the stage for a rematch with Calgary. The Kingfishers were led by the Milne twins, McMillan and Erik Pastro on offence, all of whom finished near the top in tournament scoring. Strong performances were also turned in by forwards Filipuzzi, Owen Young, Zac Casagrande, Seth Burton and Theo Van Wyk. Brayden Schwaerzle and Riley Cormier anchored a rock-solid defensive corps, teaming with Cosmo Wilson, Brady Kuziw and Teagan Evans to allow a tournamentlow 11 goals.

Bosman took the lead in the sixth minute when Ian Murphy buried a rebound after Henk Bosman’s howitzer struck the crossbar behind Ted Lurkins.

The

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

IN THE LAST SEAT, THREE CALLS CHANGE John Locke, an English philosopher and physician known as the Father of Classical Liberalism who died in 1704, said, “An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable. A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards.” At the bridge table, when the dealer’s opening bid of one of a suit is followed by two passes, the fourth player is in the balancing seat. Three of his actions have different meanings from those in the second position -- two upward and one downward. Over the next three days, let’s look at these calls. First,

an overcall of one no-trump. After West opened one heart, if North had overcalled one no-trump, it would have shown some 15.5 to 17.5 points (about half a point more than the strength promised by a oneno-trump opening bid). But in the balancing (or passout) position, it is a weak no-trump, indicating only 11 to 15 points -- like the South hand in this deal. North, with nine points, would have raised opposite a second-seat one-no-trump overcall, but now has an easy pass. West leads the heart queen. South sees only four top tricks: two hearts and two diamonds. The spade suit will generate one more trick, but it is better

to attack clubs. And since West surely holds the ace, declarer should win the second (or first) heart trick in his hand with the king and lead a low club to the queen. After it wins, he returns a club and plays low from his hand. When the ace comes tumbling down, the contract is home.

He was predeceased by his parents and all of his brothers and sisters as well as his beloved two year old son, Bruce, in 1952 and by the love of his life, BeƩs, in August of 1991. LeŌ to cherish the memory of this dear man are: his wife, Alice, and her children and grandchildren; his sons, Clark Inglis (Barb) and Glen Inglis (Monica); his daughters, Judy Hermanson (Bill) and Heather Kakoske (Mike); grandchildren: ScoƩ Hermanson (AmoreƩe), Trisha &udurich (Beau), Corey Inglis (Cindy), Jay Inglis (Cathy), Randy Inglis (Jennifer), MaƩ Inglis (CharloƩe), Brad Inglis (Jenna), Jordan Inglis (Ana), Ryan Kakoske, and Bryce Kakoske (Lori); great grandchildren: JusƟce Inglis, Jeremiah Inglis, Leandra Inglis, Marshall Inglis, and Saylor Inglis, as well as many nieces and nephews. Dad was a wonderful father and husband who served his country in Europe during WW2. In his younger days, Dad was a good athlete and baseball was his game. He conƟnued his love of sports with Mom as they aƩended as many of his children͛s and grandchildren͛s sporƟng events as they could, which were many. Dad was loved and respected by all his kids͛ friends and anyone who knew him for his kind and Ƌuiet way backed up with his engaging smile. I never heard Dad say anything unkind about anyone. He will be greatly missed by his Legion family, who were so important to him. His long and dedicated service to the Legion only slowed in the past year as his health began to fail. Dad was an amaǌing man whose love of family was something to behold. He loved us all, supported our decisions and choices in life and never voiced a negaƟve opinion. He was proud of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and nothing made him happier than when we were all together. We all have so many fond memories to cherish but will miss his physical presence dearly. The CelebraƟon of Life will be held on Sunday, April 21st, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch η25, Vernon. In lieu of Ňowers, donaƟons may be made to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch η25, 4609-29 Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 5C1. th

November 12, 1943 April 08, 2013 Heaven has a new angel Sonnie was born in 1943 in White Plains, Westchester County, New York to Beulah Estelle Nee Flowers and Joseph Hazelwood. He lost both parents in infancy and grew up in foster care until age of 18 when he was kindly taken in by a schoolPate¶s Pother so he could ¿nish high school, soPething he cites as his proudest achievement. In both high school and college, Sonnie excelled in athletics and he won the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1963 and he was the New York State champion in hurdles in 1964. Sonnie attended college on an athletic scholarship where he majored in Sociology until he enlisted in the United States Army and served in the elite “Screaming Eagles” Battalion as sergeant. In 1971, three years after honorable discharge from the military service, Sonnie came to Canada and tried out for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and shortly, thereafter moved to Vancouver. Sonnie loved to run, watch sports, draw, write poetry, read his bible, listen to all kinds of music, especially jazz, and dance. As a youth, the dance Àoor would often clear when he entered on it. Sonnie had many interesting jobs all of which he poured his heart into as was his nature. Among his favorites was that of a popular and beloved D.J. where his New York style of music, amazing dance moves and warm, personality made the club a notable Vancouver attraction. Sonnie loved people and held a special rapport with children; he was a quiet, gentle man who consistently followed the precepts of the bible and lived by example. 2nce met, however brieÀy, Sonnie was always remembered. Sonnie’s adoptive mom, Helene Hunter preceded him in death, and her children, his sibling survivors are Barbara Hawkins, Elaine Hunter, Oliver Hunter, two nephews, Timothy and Oris Hunter. He is survived by his special friend, Deborah Bouchard, her family, the staff and children at St. James School and a host of friends both in Canada and In New York. Rest in Peace, Dear Sonnie, you were the light of many people’s lives. Special thanks to Dr. De Beer, V.J.H. nursing staff, and all other health care professionals over the past few years who took a special interest in Sonnie. Services will be held on Friday, April 19 at 1:00 p.m. at St. James Church 2607-27 St., Vernon, B.C. phone 250-542-1276 and followed by a tea in the church basement.

How do I know if I have hearing loss?

You may not be aware you have a problem even though family is quite aware of it! If you find it difficult hearing someone on the telephone, in a noisy room, from a distance, higher pitched voices, or if you listen to the TV at a higher volume, you may have a loss. You would be wise to arrange to have your hearing tested by a hearing professional.

Q: A:

What’s the new law about Common Law Marriages in BC? Recent legislation in British Columbia has codified just what a common law marriage is and what the ramifications of living in common law are.

After two years of living together, or living together and having a child, you will be treated by the law almost the same as if you were actually married. In case of a break-up, the property-sharing regime is similar in common law as in a marital relationship. Relationships may fail. To avoid any unpleasant surprises it is wise to have a cohabitation agreement early in the relationship when things start to turn ‘serious’. It can protect your assets and spells out the respective obligations of the parties. It beats having to go to court, pouring out your life story in public and having some person in a black robe make decisions for you that affect you for a life time.

Absolutely not!

Hypnosis is deep relaxation with focused concentration. When you’re hypnotized, your body becomes very relaxed while your mind is alert. In this deeply relaxed state, your mind is highly focused and able to help you achieve your goals. You’re aware of everything – what you’re saying, feeling, doing, and what’s going on around you. You’re always in control. The power of hypnosis is within you, not the hypnotherapist.

I am thinking about replacing my hot water tank, but was wondering about these “on-demand” water heaters. Should I consider that instead? After space heating, water heating costs are the second largest energy expense for the typical household. Standard storage tank water heaters are still the dominant and most cost-effective water heating appliance being installed today, but the government’s drive to improve efficiency ratings may soon drive up the cost of storage tank water heaters as well. The typical storage tank water heater has an energy factor of .62 to .64 while the newer “on-demand” systems are typically in the .82 to .97 range - a substantial improvement in energy efficiency savings. These “on-demand” systems also typically last twice as long as hot water tanks before needing replacement. Tank-less “on-demand” water heaters do have their draw backs, and may not be the best solution for everyone; however, there is little doubt that they will become the standard water heating technology of the future.

If you hypnotize me will I cluck like a chicken?

That only occurs in stage hypnosis – done for entertainment. Hypnotherapy is an entirely different process that is used to help you make positive changes in your personal, professional, or spiritual lives. It facilitates increased feelings of peace, happiness, confidence, and self assuredness.

Q: A:

I have one or two small cracks in my basement wall. During the wetter seasons of the year I have water coming through the cracks into my basement. What can I do to fix it? You didn’t say how old your home was or where it was located. You didn’t say if the cracks were horizontal or vertical. I will assume that they are vertical or slightly diagonal cracks, most likely run from the top of the wall almost to the bottom, & are slightly wider at the top than the bottom.If your house was built in the 70’s or newer it is most likely tarred on the outside of the basement walls below grade, so the fix will be a little easier. If your home is older than that the fix could be a little more involved. If the cracks are horizontal or fairly large & there are signs of lateral movement, then the repair gets more involved & could require the input of a structural engineer. So let’s go back to the simplest fix. There are a number of products out there that claim they can fix the problem from inside the basement & they may; however I feel that that is a temporary fix. The best solution is to dig down on the outside of the home where the crack is, right down to the footings. Clean the crack & the area around it thoroughly. Seal the crack with a good concrete caulking & then tar the caulking and either side of the crack with a good tar sealant. Then add a fiber mesh to the tarred area, about 1 inch thick & about 16 inches wide. Install the mesh from grade level right down to the footings. Then back fill. The idea is to seal the crack & then install a fiber drainage system so that any water that comes in contact with the crack will be directed down to the footing where it will enter the perimeter drainage system & removed from the home.This type of fix will ensure that the crack will most likely never leak again. Remember, when in doubt always ask an expert.

Q: A:

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - The Morning Star A39

Q: A:

We were shopping for our Insurance on our new home and were surprised to hear the agent request permission to perform a Credit Check. Is this normal?

There is a recent trend for Insurance companies to try to reduce “Risk” on insurance claims; many are requesting permission to perform a credit inquiry to determine the best premium that will be available to you. The inquiry can also be requested on the renewal of your existing policy. This is called Risk pricing and someone with a great credit history will be offered a reduced premium rate of up to 10%. The insurance company performs a “soft” inquiry on your credit file which should not affect your score. But I would be careful in providing any sensitive information to any parties, unless it is absolutely necessary and you trust the representative. Not all Insurance companies have this practise, so you may want to check with an Insurance company that you have previous history with and choose to use their services rather than providing private details to an insurer. I would also recommend that you be aware that if you choose a large financial company & or Canadian Bank for your House insurance, you are opening the ability to add you to their solicitation list, so make sure you have an option to “opt out” of their internal marketing as you may see an increase in product solicitation after the insurance is in place. E&O / OAC accepted.
