Stolen items back in rightful hands ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Cathy Van Amam wants to say thanks to a Good Samaritan, and thanks to the RCMP for sharing the story of keepsakes turned into the detachment. Van Amam, on Wednesday, was reunited with a fake Reader’s Digest book that contained a storage compartment inside. The book contained some family documents, including her parents’ driver’s licenses which showed the couple were born in 1913 and 1915, and her mom’s birth certificate. “My boss’ wife texted him this (Wednesday) morning to tell him about the story that had

VERNON TOYOTA

been in The Morning Star,” said Van Amam. “I’m very happy to have received these items back and would very much like to say thanks to the person who turned them in. If I could say thanks in person, I would.” Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk told media Monday that on April 10, a good citizen turned in the false book which opened up and contained items such as the identification and some jewelry inside. Molendyk said the items were likely taken from a break-and-enter and Van Amam confirmed her house had been broken into and the fake book stolen. “The Vernon RCMP thank our media part-

ners for helping to get the property back where it belonged,” said Molendyk. “The items were of great sentimental value as the parents had passed away.” Unfortunately for Van Amam, one piece of jewelry taken from her home that she had hoped was in the false book was not. It is a charm bracelet dating back to the 1970s. “It had a heart on it with our wedding date – my husband has passed away – engraved on it,” said Van Amam. “There were charms from when my son and daughter were born, charms from around the world that my parents brought back. I bought that bracelet in my late teens. My kids remember me wearing it.”

Greater Vernon swimmers will be high and dry for a little longer later this year. The Regional District of North Okanagan board was told Wednesday that the Vernon Recreation Complex aquatic centre will be closed from Aug. 26 to Sept. 22 for installation of new dehumidifiers and repairs to the structure. “We will contact the user groups and make them aware of this,” said Keith Pinkoski, parks planner. The pool would be generally closed from Aug. 26 to Sept. 16 for routine maintenance, such as painting the pool surface. However, a longer period of time is required to ensure the repairs get done. Also, painting can’t be done when the structure construction is creating dust. While some directors questioned why the closure can’t start earlier in August when use of the pool is traditionally slow, Pinkoski says that isn’t possible. “There is some space already booked then for usage,” he said, adding that situation forced the work to occur later in September. The repairs are necessary because the original dehumidification system was undersized when the pool was built in 1993. The unit was shut off because of expensive repairs needed to keep it running, but that led to roof and wall damage in the pool area. The repairs are expected to cost about $1.7 million

Lessons learned from Boston bombings richard rolke Morning Star Staff

An officer’s first-hand experiences with terrorism could help prepare the North Okanagan for future disasters. Cpl. Gerry Kovacs, who is responsible for emergency planning for the Vernon RCMP, was just one block away from the two explosions that killed three people and injured more than 170 others during the Boston Marathon Monday. “I learned a tremendous amount,” he said of his observations at the scene and speaking to police there. “I learned the value of proper access and egress routes in case of an emergency.” Kovacs anticipates reviewing the local detachment’s emergency plan based on his knowledge. “There are internal things we can look at. How did they deploy thousands of law enforcement officers in such a short time? Can we do that?” he said. Kovacs was also impressed by the use of motorcycles. “They got up on sidewalks and went against traffic.” Kovacs’ wife Marnie ran the marathon and crossed the finish line 31 minutes before the first explosion. They were about a block away when the initial blast struck. “I could taste the explosives in the air and I knew something was wrong. I told her (wife), ‘We have to go get safe,’” he said. It was then that the second explosion occurred. “We could feel it in our bodies and there was a building between us. I didn’t know what was going on but I knew we had to go and go fast. “It was mass hysteria. There were children running and screaming through the streets.” As the roar of sirens escalated and helicopters filled the sky above, the couple eventually got to their hotel room five blocks away.

Cpl. Gerry Kovacs, with the Vernon RCMP detachment, reflects on witnessing the Boston Marathon bombings.

gerry kovacs photo

Officers patrol the Boston Marathon course prior to the explosions Monday. It was eventually part of the 15 blocks locked down by authorities and armed soldiers were stationed in the lobby.

Just eight hours before, Kovacs showed up at the finish line so he had a prime spot to watch his wife complete her first Boston

Marathon. Early morning security procedures were just getting underway. “There were police officers every 30 or 40 feet and bomb sniffing dogs. They sniffed my feet,” he said. At one point in the morning, a senior police officer approached the swelling crowd of fans to warn them of potential pickpockets. “There was a genuine feeling that they were taking security seriously. We felt comfortable,” said Kovacs. Among those running the 26.5 miles were U.S. soldiers in full uniform and packing 60 pounds. “They did this and then they went to work on the biggest thing since 9/11,” said Kovacs of the soldiers who ripped down fences to help victims struck by the bombs. As a 23-year veteran of the RCMP, he struggled with being

an observer and not an active participant. “I’m usually the guy that helps and I couldn’t help. I was out of the game,” he said. Kovacs spent much of Monday night outside of the hotel, observing the ensuing investigation. But early Tuesday morning, Kovacs and his wife headed to Logan Airport to make the long trip home. “Security was ramped up. You don’t have armed guards at the airport every day,” he said. Officials stopped visitors and asked about photographs that may assist investigators in revealing a suspect. “I am currently working with U.S. authorities and have photos of interest,” said Kovacs. He has not been following media coverage since he got home. “We’re trying to find some normal in our lives,” he said, adding that he continues to think about the spectators he spent eight hours with cheering on runners, and wondering what became of them. “It’s not just another marathon. It’s an international event.” Kovacs vows to keep attending races with his wife, but he admits that he will never look at large gatherings the same way again. “I hope it doesn’t alter my life. That’s something I will work through but life is too short,” he said.

Budget impacts storefront schools lachlan labere Black Press

Storefront schools in Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Enderby are being cut back as the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District attempts to meet a projected $1.8 million budget shortfall. Storefront schools, which assist adult learners, were targeted because of rising costs and a decline in adult student enrolment. The three schools combined currently serve 38 adult students. “Basically, our adultlearning program was costing us more than the ministry funds us, so these changes cut it back to the level where we are spending the money the ministry is giving us for adult education on adult education, and we are not taking away from anywhere else,” said Alice Hucul, district spokesperson. How this translates, according to Tim Lavery, an educator with the Sicamous Learning Centre, is a 70 per cent reduction in opening hours and a 50 per cent reduction in staffing. The learning centre itself will be closed, and

programming would likely be run out of Eagle River Secondary. “It will have a significant impact on the delivery of programming for adult students in small communities,” said Lavery. Trustee Barry Chafe calls the perception the program is being cut “unfair.” “You only have so much money in the pot, and the challenge that we have is when you don’t have a program that’s being funded completely you have to find it from other sources,” he said. “The challenge here, with the adult program, your next source is school-age kids.” Salmon Arm’s APEX program is also being restructured. It will be moved from its current location to the Downtown Activity Centre, with a reduction of instruction time resulting in a $94,000 saving. The proposed restructuring of adult programming is expected to save the school district $354,000. Specifics relating to what adult programming will look like in the 2013/14 school year

of signs. “I tend to agree,” said Eric Foster, Liberal candidate. “Covering the streets and boulevards for signs can be distracting for drivers and we will be using our signs prudently.” However, Foster admits that candidates have a short time period to develop name recognition with local voters and installing signs is part of the awareness strategy. “It’s a delicate balance. You don’t want to be left out of the loop so you want to get your name out there,” he said. However, NDP Mark Olsen says signs are a critical part of touching base with residents in a large constituency. “It’s important for people to know who is running,” he said. “We will run our campaign as we see fit and he (Anderson) can run his campaign as he sees fit. I see it as information. They will be up for four weeks and then down after that.”

Economy focus of workshop richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Stimulating the economy has local politicians heading back to class. The Regional District of North Okanagan board agreed Wednesday to partner with the City of Vernon to host an economic development workshop for area officials. “It’s for the whole region,” said chairperson Patrick Nicol. The city decided to organize a workshop because a Patrick Nicol similar session sponsored by the provincial government wasn’t coming to the North Okanagan. The May 10 event will be conducted by the Economic Development Association of B.C. “We want to make it North Okanagan focused,” said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager, adding that some of the topics will include industry, tourism and agriculture. The total cost for the workshop is $3,500, with RDNO providing $1,000. “This (funding) allows us to open it up to the region,” said Poole.

Dix to visit Vernon richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The North Okanagan is slated to host its first party leader during the provincial election. Local New Democrats say leader Adrian Dix will speak at Vernon’s Schubert Centre Sunday at 6:30 p.m. although his appearance has not been confirmed by Dix’s campaign team because schedules evolve. Dix will be joined by Vernon-Monashee candidate Mark Olsen and Shuswap canAdrian Dix didate Steve Gunner. “It shows he supports us and has faith in our campaigns,” said Olsen, adding that the NDP are aggressively targeting Liberal-held constituencies across B.C.. “Adrian Dix has said there is no safe riding in the province. The people of Vernon are important to Adrian and he’s been coming here for years.” It’s anticipated the B.C. NDP will confirm Dix’s Vernon Sunday stop sometime Saturday.

30-life crisis

n my circle of friends, this is a big year. It’s the year we individually take turns mourning the death of our 20s. Some of us will go peacefully, contemplating all our accomplishments and lack thereof, while others are yanked from our youth kicking and screaming (I’m probably the latter). Realistically, 30 is still young. But there’s something about this milestone that inspires a semi-midlife crisis. For those of us sitting in the shadow of that number, it seems so old. Jennifer Smith I recall being a teenager and when one of my brother’s older friends told me he was 30 I thought: “Oh man that’s almost ancient.” Now I’m married to a 30-year-old (my husband turned 30 yesterday), and I almost feel a little dirty (despite the fact that I’m only two months away from being the same age). For him, it doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal. “Just another year older,” he tells me as I unsuccessfully attempt to sway him into hitting the town for a big bash or doing something drastic, like getting a tattoo. I, on the other hand, am dreading the big day. It’s like doomsday, something I can’t run away or hide from, but know is inevitably going to come. They call it the quarter-life crisis (which strikes sometime between teen years and in your 30s). It really makes you look back on your life, wondering: “Did I do it right? Have I accomplished everything I had once dreamed of? Is there still time, or more importantly, energy, to do more?”

At rAndoM

Of course there is! It’s not as if we’re wheeling into retirement homes, we are just turning 30. That’s a pretty spry age in all reality. There’s plenty of time to get things done. In fact, more people are doing things later in life. Unlike our grandparents, and in some cases our parents – who were married off by the age of 15 and with a baby in their arms by 17 – a lot of people are waiting to procreate. They’re taking advantage of their youth to travel, indulge, enjoy, find that perfect match, get a career established, etc. These days there a lot of older parents around. According to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada half (50 per cent) of all mothers who gave birth in 2009 were 30 years of age or older. To each their own, but in my mind: who has the energy to raise a child in their 40s? I only have one child, and at almost-30, I’m pooped trying to keep up with this threeyear-old ball of energy. But at the same time, kids give you a lot to look forward to (whether you’re 30, 40 or in your grandparent years). Most of my friends have kids too, but perhaps the most special trio is that between my two girlfriends and I who each have daughters who are only months apart in age. We recently signed them up for soccer and watching the three little ones run and play together was so special. It makes me really look forward to the years of watching them play and grow together – although dreading their teenage years, if they are going to be anything like their moms. So while 30 signals the end of three decades of youth for us, we still have a lot to look forward to. 30

With less than one month to go to the provincial election, all the players of the drama are in place. Some – like the BC Conservatives – have been rehearsing their lines loudly and longly. Others – like the Green Party and even the NDP – are just starting to make their presence felt on the stage. And then there are the BC Liberals, who seem to have been in a situation of almost permanent campaigning since Gordon Campbell stepped down as leader some two and a half years ago. What is now needed to complete the show is the presence – and the voice – of the people. And what we should remember at this point – all smoke and mirrors, scriptwriters and noisy claques to one side – is that this is far more than theatre. We, the electorate, are not simply an audience. We are employers, and the politicians – no matter their party affiliations or ideological alignment – are the applicants hopeful of being hired as our representatives. Their pay will come out of our pockets, and their decisions will have a very real impact on the course of our lives for the next four years. Like any employer, we have the right to ask questions of potential employees, and make note of straightforward answers, as well as evasions and attempts to obscure the truth. Our participation in the election, particularly when ballots are cast, is vital to the process. This is more than a matter of the usual lecture about civic responsibility, low voter turnout and the importance of stepping up and being counted. The choice is ours. Peace Arch News

the environment Global warming is nothing new, it has been happening for about 10,000 years, since the last ice age as a matter of fact, with relatively short periods of cooling along the way. Our valley was filled with hundreds of feet of glacial ice during the ice age, and glaciers have been receding ever since. Oceanic water levels have been rising due to this melt. Mankind has no doubt contributed to the warming affect, especially since 1900. However, none of the environmentalists are admitting that our world population has grown by billions. All of these people are breathing and demanding goods and services, expelling carbon dioxide (CO2) in the doing. Most plant life requires CO2 to live and grow faster as CO2 concentrations increase. Methane is another of the damaging greenhouse gases. Should we be trying to be more environmentally friendly? Unquestionably yes! We should be planting more trees and shrubs; avoiding idling our vehicles unnecessarily; eating less beef - yes, grain fed cattle are one of the largest sources of

Voter apathy is discouraging

ow that the referendum for the sports facility is over, I believe that we need to look at a bigger issue than the approval to borrow for the sports facility. The Morning Star published the numbers of eligible voters April 10 and April 12. Using these numbers published, we had: 4,303 yes votes and 3,917 no votes. There were 45,000 eligible voters of which only 8,220 voters took the time to vote at either of the two advanced polls or the allday vote April 6. To look at the numbers a little differently than was written in The Morning Star, we note the percentages of registered voters as: 9.56 per cent yes votes, 8.7 per cent no votes and we had 81.73 per cent of registered voters who chose not to vote. So in essence, 9.56 per cent of voters helped the referendum pass so that

methane; and many other activities which are more environmentally friendly. However, the inconvenient truth is that we should not be destroying our economy levying ineffective carbon taxes. We should be preparing ourselves to deal with higher ocean levels and climate change rather than wasting our money enriching the carbon credit sales people. Canada is, in practice, one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world, generally speaking. In addition, we should be trying to sell relatively clean energy, such as natural gas, to such countries as China which is planning to build about 30 new coal burning electric generating plants over the next few years. Regardless of race, colour, or creed, we should all be doing what we reasonably can to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute our fair share to the well being of our economy. C.

In addition to submitting Information Requests I have attended sessions in Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Prince George and Edmonton at my own expense. I receive no compensation for my participation. I do receive discrimination because of my last name. The order for asking questions of the panels is alphabetical. That is advantageous to those at the beginning of the alphabet. They have better predictability as to when their turn comes up, more attention of the panel and more likelihood their queries may receive press coverage. Those at the end of the alphabet are disadvantaged by having to wait indeterminately for their turn plus they have to pay attention to all the questions asked before them as they may not repeat a question. In September I brought this discrimination concern to the attention of the chair of the National Energy Board (NEB) because this is an issue for any panel not just the Northern Gateway proposal. He responded I could take up the matter with the Joint Review Panel which I did through Notice of Motion, suggesting alternatives. They did not respond until mid December saying the process is

written pro and con letters to the editor. We can't blame voter burnout as we have only had the HST vote and municipal vote recently. The only viable excuse might be that voters worked out of town, were on holidays in the south or possibly they were in hospitals and unable to vote. I think the real reason for the poor turn out was apathy. People have got used to letting others make decisions for them and don't really care about issues. I hope they realize that we have a provincial election coming in May and they may not like 10 per cent of registered voters picking the party that will form our next government. The party might be the one they disliked the most. allan hooper

fair and a person could change position if they received permission from those ahead. That gives power to those who come ahead of someone alphabetically. Those who have coveted early slots don't want to give up their position. Furthermore just by not returning a phone call serves to act as a veto because every party ahead has to agree to ones moving up in the ordering of questioning. Recent requests to have this addressed with the NEB chair were denied. One has to wonder if basic things like fairness of participation are not addressed how can Canadians expect impartiality in decisions affecting people's livelihood through placement of a pipeline? terry vulcano transit trouble Currently buses exiting the downtown transit terminal westbound on 31st Avenue and turning left onto 31st Street have restricted left-turning capacity due to cars parked in meters south bound on 31st Street.

Marsh said the hike will mean an increase of $39.56 in 2013 for the average single family dwelling in the township. Final adoption must still be approved by council. The township draws its financial resources from taxation, parcel taxes, fees and charges, other revenue and transfers from reserves. The 2.95 per cent increase for policing is a cost of $117,652, and the plan calls for $42,028 to cover increases for other services this year. The township amended its tax rate ratio to increase collection from Class 09 farm properties to $64,156, which will be used for additional road capital. Class 02 utilities properties also had their tax rate ration amended by $60,677 with that money to be used to fund an unconditional grant independence reserve. Overall, the 2013 budget with consolidated revenues and expenditures totals just shy of $7.7 million. Included in the amount is $2.3 million for capital expenditures, $1.3 million for

District touts tourism centre RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Tourists are beating a path to Lake Country, but once there, there’s no one to welcome them. Council has instructed district staff to establish a tourism commission which would develop a visitors information centre. “There are a lot of different groups trying to promote their businesses and we have signed an agreement with Kelowna to piggyback on to their marketing,” said Mayor James Baker. “But there is no visitors centre to direct people to what’s going on here.” The previous visitors centre closed after the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce decided

to no longer operate it. The hope is to have a facility open this year although a location must be identified and it’s not known who would actually look after management. “We may get Tourism Kelowna to get involved. We need someone to

work on it,” said Baker. The district would also like to see the Okanagan Indian Band participate as a way of creating awareness about the First Nations culture in the area. “We will work with them on sharing information,” said Baker.

Baker doesn’t believe there will be a concern with finding residents who want to sit on the commission. “We have a lot of volunteers in the community and I am sure there will be some volunteers who step forward,” he said.

The season-opener to a sport showcasing some of the fastest fourlegged hounds gets underway in Lavington May 4 and 5. The Whippet Club of B.C. hosts two lure coursing trials for sighthounds at the Icelandic Horse Farm field on Langford Road. “It’s the first trial of the season for B.C. and we do hope that people come from all over,” said event organizer Verena von Eichborn. “We even hope to have a few puppies who want to come and get a taste of it.” The spring trials run from approximately 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, with puppy runs at noon. Spectators are welcome, as well as non-racing dogs as long as they are well-behaved on a leash.

The events will feature some of the speediest breeds of dogs, including: African hounds, greyhounds and whippets. “The sport was established about 30 years ago,” explains von Eichborn. “Initially it was for hunting dogs, to keep them fit in the off season.” Now, the races have become a sport for dogs and increasingly adapting to allow more and more breeds to take part. For more information, email wcobc@shaw.ca. To get to the trials turn off Highway 6 onto Park Lane, turn left onto Learmouth Road, left onto Reid Road (which turns into Bluenose Road at a sharp right corner). Just after Whitevale Road turns off to the left, turn right onto Langford Road (a gravel road) to the field entrance on the right.

Work on a major road project in Spallumcheen is well underway. Crews will be doing a reconstruction and realignment of two corners on Salmon River Road, between Hallam and Matheson roads. “ The project began March 25 with Okanagan Aggregates, and they’ve just completed clearing and grubbing and removing some of the trees from the corners,” said Ed Forslund, public works manager for the township. Right now, there is still two-way traffic with the existing road in place. When load restrictions come off, traffic control will take over for approximately a month. The project also includes an asphalt overlay from Knob Hill Road to Hallam Road, which is the completion of a project started in 2007. The entire project is supposed to be wrapped up by the end of June but Forslund is optimistic it will be completed ahead of schedule as crews got an early start on it. Park nears completion Work on the new McLeod Park in McLeod subdivision is about 95 per cent complete, said Forslund. “Contractors have installed the rubber safety surface,” he said. “The sign is being made and there’s still a little

bit of turf to be put down.” If all goes according to plan, Forslund is proposing an official opening ceremony in mid-May with a date to be firmed up closer to the park’s completion. The township has applied to Kal Tire for a grant to help pay for the recycled rubber used in the project, which would match a 50 per cent grant that the B.C. Tire Stewardship gives out. Noxious weeds under control Not that they have a lot of problems with them, but Spallumcheen council unanimously support-

ed a Regional District of North Okanagan request to continue looking after noxious weeds, should there be any complaints from the township. “They’ve got all of the equipment and licensing, and they’ve made the offer to all the municipalities,” said Spallumcheen administrator Greg Betts. “We don’t have such a program of our own.” If the township receives a complaint about noxious weeds, they alert its public works manager who then contacts RDNO, who then discusses the matter with the property owner.

Some local kids are getting a pawsitive experience with reading. KC, a golden lab trained as a St. John Ambulance therapy dog, is lending an ear so kids can read to her. The Junction Literacy Partner has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Vernon to introduce the Pawsitive Reading program in town. “Every week they will get to read with KC,” said Amy Doyland, with the Junction Literacy Centre. The program, which begins at the end of April at the Boys and Girls Club, will include children from grades two to four enrolled at the club. “Not only does it enable the kids to develop some reading skills, it allows them to develop confidence,” said Kirstie Blanleil, centre director at the Vernon Boys and Girls Club. The eight-week program will give each child an opportunity for some one-on-one reading time with KC – a 10-year-old golden retriever. “If they don’t have an animal at home it’s kind of nice for them to develop that relationship,” said Doyland. The program is aimed at supporting children who struggle with self-confidence and reading out loud. KC helps the children build on those skills by being non-judgemental, offering unconditional love and quiet encouragement. “It’s their alone time with KC,” said Shirley Buksa, KC’s owner, who lives in Armstrong and has been volunteering with her four-legged friend since 2007. “She’s very friendly and she likes kids.” Staff at the Boys and Girls Club are thrilled to see the program, which has been operating in Salmon Arm with success, come to town. “We’ve even had staff ID made for the dog,” said Blanleil.

A new group is focused on the health of a major natural corridor in Greater Vernon. The Friends of BX Creek Society wants to ensure the creek returns to a functioning and healthy ecosystem. “Our vision is to create public awareness by working corroboratively with businesses, residents and organizations to sustain BX Creek and its watershed in an environmentally sustainable manner,” said director Teresa Durning Harker. BX Creek begins at Silver Star Mountain and winds its way down through a canyon until it meets the valley bottom and runs into Swan Lake. From there, it goes through the city and ultimately joins up with Vernon Creek and flows to Okanagan Lake. However, the creek faces some challenges along the way. “It runs through private small land holdings, passes through culverts under roads, through farms, under a townhome complex and is channeled through what was a wetland before it gets to Swan Lake,” said Durning Harker. “It leaves Swan Lake channeled again with wetland gone, under a mall, roads, motels and channeled between concrete walls around and between buildings and houses. “This last half of its journey is where it is polluted with storm water runoff and left with little natural vegetation to help maintain its health.” Anyone interested in joining the society can call Durning Harker at 250542-1415 or e-mail dur ningdirec tions@ hotmail.com.

The Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce doesn’t have any shortage of exhibitors for its upcoming trade show. The event, which runs Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., is almost ready to roll in the Hassen Arena. The show will pay tribute to businesses through the years – a salute to the City of Armstrong’s centennial year. “There are a lot of businesses operating here in Armstrong who don’t often have the opportunity to showcase their products or services in a public venue like this,” said Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce president Sandra Starke. “We are pleased with the response and know there are other businesses who still want to participate. Registration is now open to everyone so call our office to see how you can participate.” The show will offer visitors a wonderful mix of exhibitors, including local businesses and service clubs, and the show is absolutely free to the public. There will be heritage-themed displays and entertainment throughout the day including music by Foursome Time, Sweet

Adelines and Some Other Time. A demonstration by the Taoist Tai Chi Society, fun photo booth, children’s cookie decorating and giveaways round out the event. There are still opportunities for entertainers to participate, and there is no cost to do so. “The trade show offers more than just walking around the arena,” said Starke. “There are door prizes, interesting demonstrations, entertainment and the wonderful hospitality we are known for. “We are fortunate to have great corporate sponsors (Royal LePage

Jim Elderton’s entry won the Habitat for Humanity poster contest.

The campaign for affordable housing has received a creative boost. Vernon’s Jim Elderton has won the poster content initiated as part of efforts to raise $300,000 for Habitat for Humanity. “We were very touched by the care that went into the poster submissions and this was a hard choice to make,” said Bev Seguna, with Habitat Champions, a volunteer group organizing the fundraiser. “Our plan is to distribute these posters all over town to keep our campaign top of mind.” Elderton won a $100 gift certificate at Nadine’s Fine Arts. The funds raised during the campaign will go towards purchasing land for affordable housing in the Vernon area. “We encourage everyone to participate and give generously to our Lend A Hand To Raise The Land efforts,” said Seguna. “Stay tuned to all our events and progress at www. facebook.com/VernonHabitatLand.”

Controls dialed in to talent Pool Morning Star Staff

Turn-Key Controls looked to the Pool brothers for offence as they opened their 2013 North Okanagan Soccer League season with a 3-0 win over Riot FC Wednesday night at Marshall Field #2. Riot FC (formerly Davidson & Co. Dynamite) looked to be in mid-season form in the early going, controlling the first 10 minutes of play before Nolan’s Pharmasave Man of the Match Nathan Tucker found some space off a corner from newcomer Mike Bennett, blasting in a left footer. Turn-Key settled down from there, with Bennett creating another chance that found Andrew Pool, who converted bottom, left corner. Bennett enjoyed a chance of his own shortly after but was denied by the post in a goal-mouth scramble. Not to be outdone by Andrew, older brother Thomas Pool finished a beautiful passing play to make it 3-0 at the half. Neither side had any Grade A-scoring chances in the second half. A tiring TurnKey squad, playing with only one sub because several regulars were writing university exams, withstood some early pressure by the Riot before engaging in a midfield battle. The Turn-Key defence of Carson Haywood Farmer, Liam Eddy, Sean Bonnett, Bryce Paterson and Taylor Horsting were solid in limiting Riot to through balls that were swallowed up by keeper Gregg Douma. Douma earned his clean sheet near the end of the game, deflecting a Riot shot with his fingertips and off the crossbar with the Total Restoration save of the game. In other first-week action, Salmon Arm Courvas built up a 3-0 lead and hung on for a 4-3 win over Monashee Surveying FC at Marshall Field #1. The cagey Monashaee crew showed up with a handful of newbies and returnees and fell in a 3-0 hole early after some sharp Courvas passing and an unfortunate handball penalty kick. With pressure building, new recruit Chris Trethewey sailed a ball into the box where Devon Merroit flicked it on to Tyler Johnson, who muscled off defenders for the opening Monashee goal. Monashee struck again in the second

With time ticking down, Monashee capitalized after some big pressure with wonderkid Alberto Lopez dangling for the equalizer. Courvas was awarded a penalty kick on a hand ball with seconds remaining and put it away. Red Robin Man of the Match Dave Henry turned in strong defence for Monashee. Defending champion North Enderby Timber grounded Peters Tirecraft 3-0 at Marshall Field #5. Jesse Knight scored first on a blast from outside the 18 and crafty veteran Chris Ovens buried a rebound to make it 2-0. Youngster Tyler Loose connected on a

near-post laser from the left side of the 18 to complete the NET attack. Earlier, Loose struck the VantageOne Centre wall on a penalty kick. Danny Stein and Bryndon Buckham shared the shutout while finishing their taxes online.

King jumpstarts Dr. Lee’s

Dr. Lee’s Dental opened the season by brushing back the AF Blazers 3-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 1 play Tuesday night at Marshall Field #1. Andi King started the scoring on a wellplaced corner that went top shelf, giving the shorthanded Floss crew a 1-0 lead at the half.

Jacquie Hansen put Dr. Lee ahead 2-0 converting a great through ball from Ally Dodds. Hailey Woon replied for the Blazers, collecting a loose ball and deking through the defence. King then clicked again off a great 30-yard strike. Shelby Price and Valentina Correale of the Blazers had several scoring opportunities, but were unable to convert. The Blazers received strong showings from returnees Jane Sutton, Amanda Swales and Jen Hatten, who all took last season off to welcome new children to their families. Jeanette Maleska and Amber Maltman were all stars on defence. The NET Celtics jumpstarted their season with a 2-0 win over the expansion Wrap Zone girls at Marshall #4. The Celtics opened the scoring when Heidi Holtmann dashed down the right side and calmly crossed a ball to a streaking veteran Sarah Ehman, who converted in style. Jen Siegmueller was all alone outside the 18 early in the second half, taking full control and hammered the ball past the keeper for the final goal. “It definitely looked like our first game of the season; we played well and will surely work out some of the links for our next game,” said NET coach Graham Ross. “Wrap Zone will be very good once they gel and get more games under their belts. Newly-signed Hasia Glaim was stellar on defence, sacrificing her body countless times to stifle the Wrap Zone attack.” Wrap Zone got stellar play from keepers Kelsey Paulin and Anna Clarke, while Carol Ann Bourdon took control of the middle and pumped the ball up to the waiting forwards Bryanna and Jenaelle Cole, Hailey Noakes and Sam Knight. In Masters division action, North Okanagan United clipped the Controllers 1-0 at Marshall #5. Shelley Henry scored off a brilliant pass up the middle from Sarah Kwantes in the first half. A leaner 2013 version of Cheryl Roddis recorded several great runs up the line and struck the post on a shot. Keepers Sue Barss and Charlene McNaught shared the shutout. Karen Semph returned off injured reserve and was solid on the NOU defence, with a little help from her baby sister Shelly Johnston.

Rodeo saddles up GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

As student president of the B.C. High School Rodeo Association’s south region junior division, Vernon’s Tylee Cooper has to worry about more than just her own game. The 14-year-old Vernon Secondary student not only has to be savvy in the saddle, she has to have sound communication skills in coordinating the athletes and fundraising for the organization. As the regional rep for barrel racing, she also watches every run and handles any controversy that might arise.

Let us help you achieve this

perfect smile

“You just have to understand where they’re coming from and listen to them,” said Cooper, who will compete in five events at this weekend’s high school rodeo, hosted by the North Okanagan Riding Club, at the IPE grounds in Armstrong. “It’s really helped me learn how to deal with people. I’ve made a lot of new friends and I’ve learned a lot about it.” In addition to barrel racing, Cooper will also compete in pole bending, breakaway roping, goat tying and ribbon roping. She rides Daisy, a paint horse, in barrel racing and pole bending, and Pecos, an unregistered horse, for goat tying and roping. Action begins today at 4 p.m. with the cutting event at Denton Moffat’s arena. The remaining events go at the IPE grounds starting 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission to the IPE grounds is free and there will be a concession onsite. “I’m really hoping we get a decent crowd,” said Bianca Olsen-Stiles, a Grade 12 student at Pleasant Valley Secondary. “When there’s people there watching it gives you more drive to do better.” Olsen-Stiles will also compete in five events – barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, cutting and breakaway roping. One of her horses is older than she is – she rides a 19-year-old quarterhorse named Six for barrel racing and pole bending. She borrows her boyfriend’s (Westwold’s Cole Churchill)

Vernon’s Tylee Cooper competes in high school rodeo barrel racing. Local action starts today. mount, Cowboy, for some of the other events. Olsen-Stiles has been riding for years, but only started competing two years ago. She hopes to go the college rodeo route and is considering nursing as a career. “I just decided I really want to do it. I love it. I’m disappointed I didn’t start in Grade 9,” said Olsen-Stiles, who enjoys the rush of barrel racing. “I just like the intensity you get when you’re about to get in the gate and your horse

is hot because he wants to go too.” Churchill, who also goes to PVSS, is looking to build off a tremendous season. He advanced to high school nationals last year in Wyoming. Cooper, who also plays hockey and soccer, noted there are a number of high school events that spectators won’t see at a pro rodeo. In particular, she said the goat tying is “something different.” “It’s cool to see the girls go flying off their horses at a full run.”

Gymnasts reach provincial podium Morning Star Staff

The Okanagan Rhythmics turned in strong performances at the B.C. Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships last weekend & in Vancouver. “Taking so many athletes of varying experience levels to provincials was both & Implants challenging and exciting,” said head coach 200-2500 53 Ave Vernon Camille Martens. “The successes were won250-541-7373 derful and the errors gave us clear maps of OPEN SATURDAYS what to work on as we prepare for the Oral Sedation • Invisalign • Surgery One Appointment Crowns • www.toothdoc.ca Westerns Canadian Championships later this month.” Results are h t as follows: 4 y1 Provincial a M Stream Level 3 (Pre-Novice): M e a g a n Lightfoot and Naomi Yacyshen tied for the bronze medal position in the ball event and ended up fourth and fifth overall. ✔ Fiscal Prudence — Balanced Budget Level 4 ✔ Keeping Taxes Low (Novice): ✔ Expanding Trade for BC Products C h a n t e l ✔ Enhance the Ability of Business, Bennett of Lake Country won Particularly Small Business, gold in ball, to Create Jobs silver in free 3401A - 30th Ave, Vernon BC | 778-475-0448 | eric.foster@bcliberals.com and gold overall to be the Authorized by Helen Armstrong, Financial Agent for Eric Foster B.C. champion.

Track tandem sizzles in Snohomish

Ella Brown and Tyra Gilbert faced extreme wind and cold but still achieved super results at a high school track and field meet in Snohomish, Wash. last Saturday. Both athletes train with Ian Cameron, head coach of the Pleasant Valley Secondary team and the Vernon Triple A Track and Field Club. Brown, a Grade 12 student, went in the triple jump ranked No. 1 in a group of 21 jumpers, and she won with a leap of 11.24 metres, a personal best. She was fifth out of 34 entries in the long jump with a PB 4.95 metres. It was only her second competitive try at long jump. Gilbert, a Grade 11 student, won her heat in the 100-m hurdles in a PB 15.89 seconds, and finished sixth in the final. “For both these girls to go to the first meet of the year and come away with personal bests in all the events they entered, under extremely adverse weather conditions, is a phenomenal achievement,” said Cameron. “They’re excited to see what the rest of the track season holds for them.”

Bennetto boosts Team B.C.

Leena Bennetto of Vernon helped Team B.C. defeat Alberta in the Under 10 B.C. vs Alberta Tennis Challenge last weekend in Kamloops. The Tennis Canada event featured the top-eight boys and top girls from both provinces compete in mostly singles matches. Bennetto, who is ranked third in B.C., won three of five matches. She was the only player from the Interior to represent B.C. Bennetto finished ahead of No. 7 Alex Jewitt, fourth-ranked Stefanie Silva and No. 8 Sydney Baffoe. Leena and her 11-year-old brother Ryan, both Kidston Elementary students, train regularly in Vernon and at Kamloops Tennis Centre.

Emmons capitalizes in call-up duty

Vernon’s Dylan Emmons of Vernon was called up to pitch with the Okanagan Athletics Premier baseball team Sunday and made a difference. Emmons, 15, went four innings, striking out four, walking three, giving up three walks and allowing two runs as the Athletics grounded the Coquitlam Reds 6-2 at Elks Park in Kelowna. Emmons joined his Junior Premier team for the matinee game at Edith Gay Field in Rutland. He played two innings in right field and three at third base. He took to the mound in the seventh and shut down White Rock, recording the save in an 8-7 win. Emmons is a Grade 10 student at VSS.

B.C. Seniors Games calling for athletes

The B.C. Seniors Games Society is putting the call out to Okanagan-Similkameen athletes wanting to compete in this year’s Games, Aug. 20-24, in Kamloops. Any resident 55 years of age and older can participate. There are 25 events, both passive and active, including golf, tennis, bridge, cycling, swimming, bowling, floor curling, track and field and pickleball.

For more information, visit www.bc.seniorsgames.org, or contact Marsha White at 250-558-1555.

Quotable...

Nick Fotiu, a premiere NHL brawler during his 13-year career, coached Link Gaetz for a year with the East Coast Hockey League’s Nashville Knights. “In practice, I used to tell the goalies to let him score. I’d tell players not to take the puck from him. If they did, he’d run them. I’ve seen him crosscheck kids in practice and knock them cold. I’ve seen him put people out with one punch. He’d win fights and wouldn’t stop. I’d have to yell, ‘No more!’”

Minnes mines record book Morning Star Staff

Soleway sparks Vees Black Press Sports

Vernon’s Jedd Soleway collected the winner as the Penticton Vees shaded the Surrey Eagles 3-2 in Game 4 of the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup final Tuesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Soleway’s linemate John Siemer gathered a loose puck in the neutral zone, then squeezed past Drew Best into the Eagles’ zone. He put on the brakes and feathered a pass to Soleway trailing the play. The exVernon Viper power forward beat Michael Santaguida stick side for his fifth post-season goal. The best-of-seven series, now tied 2-2, returned to Surrey for Game 5 Thursday. Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson said his players began to pick up the pace after Anthony Brito gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead with 4:30 remaining in the first period. A talk during the second intermission triggered the comeback jumpstarted by a Wade Murphy powerplay goal 58 seconds into the final frame. Ryan Gropp scored again at 2:26 to give Penticton its first lead. “A huge power play goal for us kind of springboarded us,” said Harbinson. “Even when they pushed back, got the second goal (Nicolas Pierog at 5:40) to tie it, we came right back at them and I’m really proud of the guys.” Murphy said the Vees were confident despite trailing after 40 minutes. “I was just trying to get shots on net. He can’t save them all, right?” said Murphy, of Santaguida, who finished with 33 saves. “I think it went through his arms. It was nice to get that one through.” Eagles’ coach Matt Erhart said his players battled hard. “I thought we had a pretty good

first two periods,” said Erhart, a former defenceman who won the 1998 RBC Cup with the Eagles. “Made a few mental mistakes in the third that cost us and I said to our team ‘some of the mental mistakes we made earlier against different teams doesn’t come back to haunt you, but it does against a team like the Penticton.’ I guess we have to tidy up a few of those areas.” The winner advances to the inaugural Western Canada Cup, hosted by Mike Vandekamp’s Nanaimo Clippers, April 27-May 5. n Kyle Murphy was named the Vernon Vipers’ Unsung Hero in 2011, and now he’s back at it with the NCAA Division 1 Providence Friars. The Fairhaven, N.J. product wrapped up his senior season by receiving the NCAA Derek Hines Unsung Hero Award. Hines played at Army from 19992003 and was a four-year letter-winner as well as a co-captain his senior season. He was killed in the line of duty on Sept. 1, 2005 in Afghanistan. “Derek was a great hockey player, but more importantly, he was an extraordinary person,” Murphy said in a statement. “Derek’s infectious personality, natural leadership ability and genuine spirit truly embody the perfect teammate and I will strive each day to live my own life as Derek so selflessly lived his.” After de-committing from the University of Notre Dame, Murphy joined the Vipers for their 2011 championship run. He took 36 credit hours in order to graduate with an Associate’s degree, maintaining straight-A’s. He will graduate this spring with a degree in finance.

The Nor t h Okanagan #1 Legends exploded for five thirdperiod goals to outlast the #2 Legends 10-5 in their Pee Wee B lacrosse opener Saturday morning at Hassen Memorial Arena. Caedon Bellmann and Jaxxon Collard, each with a pair, led the #1 Legends’ attack, with singles coming from Nathaniel Foster, Jacob Brewer, Randall Toop, Ethan Lavoie, Matthew Latham-Watt and Kord Haller. Said B1 coach Casey Sherriff: “I’m proud of every one of these kids so far. They’ve come to the rink eager to learn and have surprised me every time they step on the floor.” Tied 5-5 after two periods, the B1 team stayed out of the box and capitalized on some nice pick and rolls to help Brayden Leveille pick up the win. Kael Black bagged four goals for the B2 Legends. Collard supplied North Okanagan’s lone goal in an 8-1 loss to Shuswap Sunday. In Midget league play in Armstrong, Zach Kuperus handled North Okanagan’s offence in a 6-1 loss to Penticton Heat. Netminder Darnell Havca helped keep the Legends competitive with a 26-save showing as North Okanagan managed just 15 shots. In Bantam B play, Teige Doughty and Rhys Larsen, on a sweet endto-end rush, had singles as the #2 Legends fell 3-2 to the Heat. Goalie Francois Leroux Jr. delivered some monster hits, Jordan Scherck was solid in his crease debut and Tyson Reschke was an offensive sparkplug.

GMOs a concern in rural Lumby Morning Star Staff

Pledge forms are available at Hospice House, Nolan’s Pharmasave or online at www.nohs.ca. 250-503-1800 www.nohs.ca

3506 – 27 Ave. Vernon, BC V1T 1S4

Many rural Lumby residents have concerns about genetically modified organisms. During a recent community meeting, a majority of attendees from rural Lumby stated they don’t want GMO crops in their community. “While declaring a community a GMO-free zone is not a bylaw, it makes everyone understand the level of opposition to GM crops,” said Huguette Allen, with Bee Safe, a local environmental organization. “GMO crops were accepted in our communities without people’s knowledge and contamination is

occurring without people’s consent. There is no coexistence possible between GMO crops and other crops.” Out of 405 people at the meeting, 293 were from rural Lumby, 53 were from the Village of Lumby and the rest were from neighbouring communities. “Area D voted 92.8 per cent in favour of a ban,” said Jane Emlyn, with Bee Safe. “The solution now is to support diversified farming and to develop a resilient economy based on health, quality of life and protection of the environment.”

An NDP government would cancel a four-percent increase in B.C. Ferries fares scheduled for next spring, freezing fares for two years as they conduct an “audit” to determine the future of coastal ferry service. NDP transportation critic Maurine Karagianis said Wednesday the government would provide an additional $20 million in each of the next two years to make up for the fare revenue lost by cancelling the increase, which was ordered last year by ferry commissioner Gord Macatee. The two-year freeze proposal is a repeat of the NDP’s 2009 election platform, which also promised a full review of the ferry rate structure. In an interview from the NDP campaign tour, Karagianis wouldn’t rule out further reductions in low-ridership sailings. She said the ferry commissioner would continue to operate, but “certainly the ferry corporation doesn’t always take every recommendation the ferry commissioner makes.” In fact, the ferry commissioner has authority under the Coastal Ferry Act to set rate caps for all 25 salt-water routes, and as of last year the office was also given the power to determine service levels on those routes.

As a long-time former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware that the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing.

the population decline of rural B.C., with international immigration almost exclusively going to big cities, while temporary foreign workers increasingly fill agricultural and industrial jobs in the Interior. The party’s stillevolving platform echoes the NDP’s call Tom Fletcher for more skills training and increased completion rates for trade apprentices. Cummins is in favour of the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline and the massive buildup of infrastructure needed to add liquefied natural gas to B.C.’s energy export mix. He sees that enormous industrial expansion as the path to shift population growth beyond the south of the province. Cummins is surprisingly cool to one industrial project, the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River, calling himself undecided. He also sounds skeptical about the B.C. Liberal plan to extend B.C.’s electricity grid and use that to develop further independent power. This sounds to me like political positioning rather than economic analysis. An anti-Site C independent candidate has significant support in Peace River North, creating a three-way struggle for a key B.C. Conservative target. The B.C. Conservative platform also totals up the billions in long-term electricity contracts with private power producers and suggests the price for this clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position. So if the B.C. Conservatives are gungho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions? Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pol-

PR IC

s the B.C. NDP launched its election campaign last week with a package of income tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader toured the province with plans to get rid of the carbon tax. It’s not readily apparent from his recently released fiscal framework document, but B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does not include raising income tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.” He predicts revenue growth. I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas tax revenues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier, he vowed to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service. Cummins has more good news for the north: that’s where a regionally phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also the area of thinnest population, meaning the impact on the B.C. treasury would be less. This is, after all, a tax budgeted to bring in $1.2 billion in the current year. The B.C. Conservatives continually remind people that the carbon tax falls disproportionately on rural, remote and particularly northern folks who face long distances, long winters, and public transit options ranging from slim to none. This has ceased to be much of an issue for the urban B.C. majority, who are focused on bridge tolls, ferry fares and the like. The B.C. Conservatives decry

Clarinetist learns to embrace the ‘duck call’ Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

As one of 24 flute players in my high school’s concert band, you could always count on one instrument to occasionally drown us all out. It was the “duck call” emitting from a squeaky reed of some kid’s clarinet. When this happened, my band teacher, Mr. Krueger, would stop our practice and tell the kid to correct his embouchure, then he would yell at the trumpet players to blow “the goldfish water” out of their instruments before resuming. François Houle, who is about to perform in Vernon, with pianist Jane Hayes, for the last concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert 2012-13 season, laughs when I tell him about the poor clarinetist’s dilemma from my band class. As one of Canada’s eminent clarinetists, Houle learned to not revere, but control those duck calls, even incorporating them into his music, which crosses a wide gamut of genres. “When I was 10 years old, I was serious enough to invest in a serious clarinet. It was a Yamaha plastic clarinet. I thought I’d arrived, but those duck calls, they were a challenge,” said Houle. Inspired at a young age by his parents’ big band records, especially the sounds emitting from the great clarinetists Woody Herman, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, Houle eventually learned to embrace the duck calls. “It’s the same sense of spirit Benny and some of my older role models embraced, to take the instrument beyond its natural extension of classical, where those duck calls are not duck calls at all. Instead you make squawks and learn to control them — you do them at will so they the don’t control you, you control them.” Another influence was Houle’s first music teacher, who was leader of a local marching band in his native Québec. “He loved jazz and classical music and

Clarinet virtuoso François Houle and pianist Jane Hayes perform the last concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association season, Tuesday, at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. inspired me to practise and listen to other kinds of music,” said Houle. “That classical approach, practising scales, set me on the right path, so that when I entered university and college, I was ready.” Houle left Montréal in 1984 after graduating with a bachelor of music from McGill University. He ended up in Banff, but then went south-east to New Haven, Conn. to study for his masters in music at the Yale School of Music before returning to Alberta to complete an artist residency at the Banff Centre. Although he missed Montréal and its imploding music scene, where everything

went and still goes, Houle decided to make the small leap to Vancouver, where he says he stumbled on a thriving scene there. “The Vancouver Jazz Festival was growing and there was a burgeoning new music community,” he said. Upon landing a job teaching at the Vancouver Community College School of Music, Houle also served as artistic director of the Vancouver Creative Music Institute from 2006 to 2010. There he connected with like-minded musicians, including Hayes, to seek out both modern-day and traditional repertoire, and

overlooked by immense cliffs and with the Shuswap River that meanders through town and the surrounding area. Boasting its own accredited arts council, Enderby’s thriving arts and culture scene is about to be housed in its first cooperative, not-for-profit art gallery. The official opening of Enderby’s Courtyard Gallery takes place on Thursday, April 25 and coincides with Arts and Culture Week in B.C.

Artists, supporters and VIPs are expected to be out in droves in what has taken months of planning. What started as an idea has blossomed over the past eight months into an actual space for artists to share their wealth of talents, said Tatianna O’Donnell, gallery chairperson. “The Enderby and District Arts Council had a meeting last August where they called out to artists to get together with the

also be influenced with his own composing. “My inquisitive nature led me there. I was always a rebel, so I pushed hard. It’s nice to do weird sounds, but in order to do them, you need the fundamentals,” said Houle. “This has only enforced my love of traditional repertoire. I am not limited by style, but what I can do to embrace different kinds of music.” Fascinated by the music of the Middle East, and particularly Turkey, where the clarinet is “king,” Houle has also looked at South and Central American composers as well as to Cuba to build his repertoire. He, along with Hayes, will play some of those compositions at their concert in Vernon. “Jane is very inquisitive and her husband is also a clarinet player, so she found a lot of pieces that I hadn’t heard of. I call it the clarinet Pan Am, as a lot of the music comes from Pan America.” Some of those compositions include Histoire du Tango (1986) by Argentinian composer Ástor Piazzolla as well as Zarabandeo for clarinet and piano (1995) by Mexican composer Arturo Márquez, which Houle says are very lively and fun. Those worried that the music is too “modern” for their tastes, need not be, said Houle. “It is like unearthed musical gems. We’ve built up this repertoire over four-to-five years. It is tried and tested, and we throw in some Debussy and Ravel, so it all ties together with the modern repertoire,” said Houle. “Jane and I are really looking forward to playing it for you.” Before Houle arrives in Vernon, he will be hearing word on whether he has won a Juno when the awards ceremony is held in Regina Sunday. He and fellow musicians Taylor Ho Bynum, Samuel Blaser, Michael Bates, Harris Eisenstadt, and Benoît Delbec are up for a 2013 Juno for Best Contemporary Jazz Album for their album Genera. Tuesday’s concert at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre starts at 7:30 p.m. Individual tickets are $35/adult and $17.50/student at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca.

North Okanagan’s newest arts space opens in Enderby

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Enderby has always had an artistic air about it. Perhaps it’s due to the colourful medievallike banners that hover above the businesses along Cliff Avenue, or the murals around town that depict the city’s just as colourful heritage and landscape. Most likely it is because of the number of artists who choose to live in the city

idea to start a cooperative art gallery,” said O’Donnell, adding there were 13 artists, including herself, who signed up as the initial core group. That group has now grown to approximately 25 artists. “There are very talented people working away in their studios here. It’s a solitary occupation. This has been a way of getting everyone together,” said O’Donnell.

he hapless pack of unimaginative idiots that brought you the first Scary Movie are nowhere to be found as audiences are subjected to another juvenile mockery of films we’ve already seen. Sure, they’re listed as executive producers, but in movie speak, all that means is that they had an idea, once. In this film, as in all the others, recent and not-so recent horror films Taylor & Howe are spoofed for the enjoyment of 12 year olds everywhere. Sexual innuendo, simulated sex, toilet humour, puns and slapstick are the beef inside this week-old burrito. With most of the star draw in the film being either Grade B or certifiable train wrecks, such as Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan, the bulk of the story is carried out by an ensemble fit for, well, a Scary Movie. (Although, in fairness, there are a few qualified comedic actors in this turkey, for instance Saturday Night Live alumnus Darrell Hammond. Although her part is small, Molly Shannon is probably the funniest performer.) Our two main characters, Jody (“musician” and TV actor Ashley Tisdale) and Dan (VJ and porn actor Simon Rex), are coming home with the children of his recently deceased brother, Charlie Sheen. In their new neighbourhood, the young family must deal with a variety of spooky situations mocking other movies. For the most part, the story follows the plot of Mama, which is about a young couple who bring

Dimension Films

“Baby, it’s hot out here,” Ashley Tisdale in Scary Movie 5. home two little girls who have been living with a ghost for a couple of years. Working through secondary characters (that seem to have nothing to do with any of the others, or the plot) such as Snoop Dogg, Heather Locklear, Katt Williams and Mike Tyson, Scary Movie 5 manages to spoof the following films, rather haphazardly: Evil Dead, The Cabin in the Woods, The Ring, Paranormal Activity, Inception, Sinister, Black Swan, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and somehow Fifty Shades of Grey. This last mockery doesn’t even become clear until you watch the outtakes during the credits, (which, by the way, are the best part of the movie.) This is a perfect example of the terrible icing on this poisoned cake.

Much of this movie doesn’t make any sense due to overall bad filmmaking. The two of us watched Scary Movie 5 with a very small audience: a teenage boy and his girlfriend, three-or-four 20-somethings, a mother and what seemed to be her 12-year-old son. We heard the occasional snicker from the teenagers, the mom laughed once, the 12-year-old boy laughed a few times, particularly at the slapstick and dirty pictures. Neither the 20-somethings nor Reel Reviews laughed. We didn’t actually expect to, but it seems that even fans of the series (and their target audience) will be disappointed by Scary Movie 5. We say, “This movie doesn’t deserve our time, energy or a score.”

Dido’s ethereal voice lives on dido: Girl Who Got Away

ven if Dido managed to disappear, her voice would be sampled and appear in her place. The English singer/ songwriter’s fourth album, Girl Who Got Away, displays the anthemic vocal hooks that beckon producers and samplers eager for an angelic voice to sweeten and uplift a track. Girl Who Got Away gets epic right from the start on a stirring acoustic hymn, No Freedom. The track is a chilling attention grabber that has the emotional pull of a love song sung in the manner of a protest ballad. Dido’s alto is pure and grit free, unique and non-rooted in a particular time or style, but her tonal clarity does recall the sound of the late

e-mail

stReet sounds

Dean Gordon-Smith

English folk/rock singer Sandy Denny. The pacing of the album is steady and pleasing in its oncoming wave of melodic electro-acoustic moods. Dido’s songs are solid vocal/chordal vehicles on which producers Jon Brian, Rollo Armstrong and Brian Eno paint electronic mixes that build behind Dido’s ethereal voice. Blackbird and End of Night dwell in a free floating river of electronic groove that pulses like a technological lullaby.

This is a long album at 17 tracks, but its playtime is well managed by the blend of dynamics between the vocals and acoustic and electronic sounds. The songs are straight ahead, without unneeded twists that could derail them, and there’s a muted power and confidence between the pulsing

rhythms and Dido’s lyrics and ethereal, steadyon vocal. The seeming levity of Dido’s themes contain suggestions of unrest throughout. Happy New Year is a dark departure; a cataloging of empty gestures and bleak thoughts – an effective show-up of hollow sentiments.

The unrelenting sense of movement in the music is a presence that counters the hint of otherworldly blissout, making Girl Who Got Away a twilight driving disc. Dido’s performance is shimmering and flawless and the standout tracks are No Freedom and End of Night.

With the artists in place, and planning underway, the next major step, to find a location, has been another fait accompli. “We looked around at a variety of places around Enderby and found one on Belvedere Street next to the Enderby Legion. It’s right downtown and walking distance to the market. We also have an outdoor courtyard (hence the gallery’s name), which we plan to make artistic and creative,” said O’Donnell. Inside, the gallery features a wide variety of art —paintings, fibre art, sculpture, stained glass, woodwork, and more— available for purchase in varying prices. “We will have varying types of exhibitions, with different themes. All of this is part of the journey of what we need to learn and do. You never know where it is going to go,” said O’Donnell. As a non-profit organization, the gallery also plans to give back to the community through community exhibitions and events. “We have received a huge amount of support. There has been a lot of donations from local businesses and items to start up the gallery, and a significant donation from the Enderby arts council,” said O’Donnell. “I’m hoping it will be a little gem in Enderby. We hope to become a destination, not only for the residents of Enderby, but for the tourists.” Besides the grand opening, the gallery is hosting the first of many events with an

Morning Star Staff Several years ago while tending bar together at a popular St. John’s Irish pub, Andrew Mercer and Dave Whitty never imagined that a short time later they would be joining forces from opposite sides of the country to showcase their musical offerings. The former coworkers reunite when Mercer’s band, Cod Gone Wild, joins Whitty for the start of the Cods’ 2013 East Meets West tour, which kicks off in Cod Gone Wild’s hometown of Vernon April 26. The tour runs until June 2 and includes a variety of venues for 16 shows across the B.C. Interior. Whitty, who has been busy travelling back and forth between Toronto and St. John’s promoting his debut EP, Let it Rest, has stuck to his musical Newfoundland roots, writing and singing about actual events and classifying his style as folk/rock with strong lyrics of friendship, love, and tales of growing up. “One minute, he is making his audience laugh with his genius comedic quality, singing about ridiculous adventures with friends; the next minute he can conjure profound feelings of nostalgia or pain with his stories of finding love, losing friendship, and the things that make Newfoundland special,” said Mercer, who is originally from

When Mercer made the call to Whitty a couple of months ago and asked him if he would be interested in joining Cod Gone Wild on a B.C. tour, his friend jumped at the chance. “I have always been a fan of Dave’s music. He is just exciting to watch, and I believe it is very important for us independent musicians to collaborate and work together to promote and celebrate our craft,” said Mercer. “We are so excited to have him join us and allow the people of

B.C. to catch a glimpse of the high calibre of talent and passion for music that exists on the East Coast.” Cod Gone Wild is coming off a very successful and busy year promoting their second album, The Traveler, throughout western and eastern Canada. The band’s popularity is growing rapidly and the Cods are enjoying playing all sorts of interesting venues, theatres, festivals and community events all over the country, said Mercer. This upcoming spring tour provides the band with the opportunity to play a bunch of shows at home before the busy summer schedule begins. “We are excited to get out on the road and play some new venues and re-visit some of the places here in B.C. that we have loved playing in the past,” said Mercer. “Our music has evolved so much over the last couple of years since adding multi-talented violin/fiddle player Anjuli Otter to the mix and we have so much exciting new music to share, we just want to get out there and perform.” The East Meets West show takes place Friday, April 26 at Monashee’s Bar and Grill (2922, 30th Ave.) at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Monashee’s, 30th Street Liquor Store and Kalamalka Wine and Spirits.

Celebrating birth around the world cara brady

Morning Star Staff

The birth of a child is a happy event all around the world. “Birth is a common experience and there are so many different traditions and ways to celebrate,” said Sana Mohammed, who is organizing the Interfaith Baby Shower with Myah Dhillon, an event to honour the children and families of the area’s faith groups. “I learned a lot as we were getting ready for this. I found out that some faiths whisper the name of God or prayers to a newborn and that it is common to give gifts of clothing and toys to a new baby. “It has been special to me to be involved in the Interfaith Bridging Project because there are not many young people involved and I want people to know there is a younger Muslim community. We are pleased to see more young people of all backgrounds coming to our interfaith events and we hope to see many young families out.” Mohammed, a member of the Interfaith

Bridging Project committee since it began last year, graduates from UBCO this spring with a degree in social work specializing in child welfare. Dhillon took the photographs of children of different faiths that will be used in the presentation on birth traditions at the Baby Shower. She grew up in Vernon and graduated from Western Academy of Photography in Victoria and will be attending Toronto Film School in the fall. She has a business, Myah Dhillon Photography, focusing on fashion and wedding photography, in Toronto. “I loved taking the photos of the kids for the shower. Kids are so spontaneous and a challenge,” she said. The Interfaith Baby Shower takes place April 27 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at First Baptist Church (1406-32 Ave., Vernon). It starts with a chance to browse through baby and children’s things from local businesses. Then there will be some baby shower games and the presentation to learn more about how different faiths and cultures welcome babies, followed by

refreshments. Entertainment will be provided by Betty Johnson, with her original composition, Bless the Child in Me, written in celebration of babies and children, and also featured on the DVD presentation. She will be accompanied by Andrew Smith. Families with children and anyone who wants to learn more about birth traditions are welcome. Childcare will be provided and there will be prizes for the youngest baby and the mother with the most children. The Interfaith Baby Shower is free but people are encouraged to bring a baby gift which will be given to the Women’s Transition House, the Pregnancy Outreach Program, North Okanagan Pregnancy Centre and the Aboriginal Infant and Early Childhood Development. The Interfaith Baby Shower is part of the Interfaith Café series of the Interfaith Bridging Project sponsored by the Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society.

Food is the focus at God’s Kitchen Morning Star Staff

Eating local, planting trees and signing petitions to stop global warming are just a few of the things people around the world are doing to celebrate Earth Day April 22. In Vernon, the event will be marked on Saturday with God’s Kitchen...From Earth to Table, a day-long event featuring a series of workshops geared to everyone in the community, from children to seniors, and all in-betweeners. God’s Kitchen takes place at All Saints’ Anglican Church, and includes a 100 Mile Lunch. “As Christians, we are responsible for looking after God’s creation,” said Jane Maskell, with All Saints’ parish council. “We have been lent this earth and we are to take care of it.” Earth Day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970 to promote ecology and respect for life on the planet as well as to encourage awareness

“We’re cautiously optimistic.” — Christine Dendy

It will now be known as the B.C. Cherry Association which is simpler, better describes the production region, and reflects its broader scope, says president Christine Dendy. It’s now more like a trade association and members include not only growers but also packers, researchers, brokers, and others involved in the cherry industry. Its structure has also been changed, delegating major functions to two committees: market and research. Dendy said hopes earlier this year of forming a B.C. Cherry Council that would represent all growers and levy a fee per acre to go toward market development, research and promotion, did not work out. She said growers understood the challenges facing the industry and strongly supported the role proposed for the council, but the concept of a weighted vote was opposed by a number of the smaller growers, and the Industry Development Steering Committee did not wish to see the initiative politicized and turned into a divisive industry issue. The difficulty is that 20 per cent of growers produce about 80 per cent of the fruit, while the other 80 per cent of growers produce the other 20 per cent of the cherries in the province, she explained. The growth the industry is facing, both in BC and in adjacent Washington State, means a lot of work has to be done to promote B.C. fruit and expand markets for it, she explained. The restructured

association will continue to work on access to new markets such as China and to put money into research efforts, but it will be made up of those who are prepared to join and commit financial support to industry development, she said. Efforts to gain access to the Chinese market are moving along, said Dendy, and preparations are being made for possible shipping of the first cherries this summer. “We’re cautiously optimistic that continued talks and exchanges of information will result in trade conditions we can work with,” commented Dendy. It’s expected that Chinese authorities will visit the Okanagan in July to do an inspection, she said. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has registered growers and packers interested in shipping to China, in preparation for a positive outcome of talks, she noted. Last month, a number of new members were elected to the BCCA board including Joe Hart, Gord Sandhu, Ravi Dhaliwal, Manjinder Khela, Bill Sandhers, Don Westcott, Andre Bailey and David Geen of Coral Beach Farms in Lake Country who chairs the Market Access Group. Continuing directors include vice-president Sukhpaul Bal, the other David Geen who remains as treasurer, Graem Nelson who remains as secretary, Greg Norton and Chris Danninger who chairs the Research Committee. Researcher Peter Toivonen remains on the board ex-officio.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

TWO-NO-TRUMP OVERCALL CHANGES, TOO Celine Dion said, “Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It’s about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.” In bridge you must use your brain to gain the most from each hand you hold. And in this week’s columns, we are looking at balancing, when one player, if he passes, will end the auction. If the dealer opens one of a suit, the next two players pass, and the fourth player jump-overcalls two no-trump, it is no longer unusual, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest unbid suits. Now it is natural. In principle, the intervenor has a hand with which he would

have opened two no-trump, but he might be a point or two short of the normal requirements when he has a respectable six-card minor. In this deal, though, South has a classic two-no-trump opening and a balancing two-no-trump overcall. North transfers into hearts, then rebids three no-trump to offer a choice of games. South, with only two hearts, passes. After West leads the spade queen, how should South plan the play? Declarer starts with eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts and three clubs. He should work to get a fourth heart winner. After winning the first trick in his hand with the spade ace (to keep dummy’s king as an entry),

South should cash his heart ace, then overtake the heart queen with dummy’s king. He continues with the heart 10 to drive out the jack and ends with nine tricks. Note that if declarer gets greedy, cashing his two hearts, then crossing to the spade king, he goes down.

Our Angel It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Donna Leaf on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at the palliaƟve care unit of the Eanaimo hospital. Donna was born in Kamloops, .C. on December 1ϴ, 1939, and spent her enƟre lifeƟme in Falkland, .C. She met and married her husband, Kǌǌie in 1961, where they built their home and conƟnued to live in Falkland. She was a wonderful, caring wife, mother and grandmother, sister and daughter to her family. Surviving her are her husband Kǌǌie, son ScoƩ (Holly), Daughter Apryl (Don), grandchildren Coho, Thomas and Celia, sisters Sandra and Jo-anne, rothers, Jack ( arb), Jim (Heather) and several nieces and nephews. She was also a loyal friend to many. Donna was proud of her community and was involved in numerous projects. Kne of her cherished accomplishments was co-conceiving and helping to see a community church built in Falkland, bringing together representaƟves of several faiths, volunteers and serving as treasurer for the church society. She was one of the founders of the Falkland Heritage Park and Museum, and Donna enjoyed working there regularly with her friends, including taking on the duƟes of treasurer for a number of years. She was also treasurer for the Community AssociaƟon in Falkland for siǆ years and she always looked forward to volunteering her services for the annual stampede. She was a member of several clubs including the ronceƩes, who were cheerleaders, fundraisers and rumoured owners of the Falkland roncs, a local men’s baseball team. Donna did fundraising and organiǌing for the Falkland Stampede Yueen’s CommiƩee, a youth ambassador pageant for several years. She enjoyed decoraƟng the community hall for dances and themed occasions as part of her involvement in local clubs. She cherished all special occasions and decorated her home inside and out for Easter, Christmas, Halloween and parƟes. She rarely forgot anyone’s birthday and sent many a sincere greeƟng card to friends and relaƟons. Donna worked in McClounies store in Falkland for a few years before marrying Kǌǌie and starƟng their family, then taking over duƟes as company book keeper for the family hardware store. In 19ϴ7, aŌer being in business for some 40 years, the family store moved to a new building, and Donna eǆpanded and ran the giŌware secƟon in addiƟon to working at the store. She and Kǌǌie conƟnued to operate the hardware for another 7 years at its new locaƟon. She also ran a Ňoral arranging business for a few years providing aƩracƟve accents to local events and weddings. Donna adored children and babies and doted on them. She was an accomplished baker and the house was always full of the enƟcing scents of her day’s creaƟons. She loved having family in and making a great dinner for everyone and we are all going to miss those. She loved Ňowers and always had a fresh bouquet on the table. She also had a knack for design around the house, in the yard and in her apparel. She sewed clothing for family as well as drapery for the house. She was interested in local history and heritage as well as other cultures, and was not afraid to try new things. She liked dancing, picnics, travelling, curling and Eordic skiing. She Ɵrelessly researched and compiled several volumes of a family history for both sides of her family tree, complete with photos. This included informaƟon gleaned from archives as far Ňung as Europe, Australia and the Falkland Islands. Donna marveled at nature’s wonders, she loved siƫng outside in the yard and listening to the birds singing and coming to the feeder or bath, goldĮsh in the pond, quail running through the yard, and even those ͞damn deer.͟ At Donna’s request there is to be no service. Those wishing to remember Donna can make a donaƟon to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of Ňowers. te wish to thank all our friends for the showing of support in this sad Ɵme for us.
