Shift in city service considered

It’s unknown if Vernon politicians will embrace a fundamental shift in how the city operates. KPMG will present a draft final report on the core services review to council Monday. “It’s an interesting document to study and there are some opportunities to reduce expenses and increase revenue,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Mayor Rob Sawatzky doesn’t expect any decisions will be made Monday. “There are a number of opportunities identified but a number of them have roadblocks and difficulties implementing them,” he said. “We need to get more information first and we need to know the consequences for other parts of the organization.” Among KPMG’s options are weaning O’Keefe Ranch off city support, amalgamating Greater Vernon, contracting economic development and tourism to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, outsource the concession at Wesbild Centre, contract out bylaw enforcement staffing and eliminating irrigation and reducing mowing frequency along city-maintained boulevards and linear trails. There are two scenarios proposed for Civic Arena. One would see the facility replaced with a second ice surface at Wesbild Centre, while the other calls simply for closure of Civic Arena because Armstrong’s NorVal Centre is drawing away users. KPMG also suggests the city can make some recommendations to the Regional District of North Okanagan. They include no longer supporting the Caetani Cultural Centre and using social media to promote recreational programs. Sawatzky anticipates that it could be six weeks before it’s clear how city council will proceed. Spiers won’t forecast how aggressive his council colleagues will be in accepting KPMG’s report. “The implementation of the recommendations will require political will and we will see if it’s there,” he said.

Teen’s drive to slow traffic gains attention Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

After the heartache of losing six cats at her BX home, Cassie Bosworth is pleading for motorists to slow down. Growing up on East Vernon Road (between Pottery and Black Rock roads), the now 19-year-old wasn’t even allowed to play in the front yard due to the excessive speeders on the street. “This road is horrible,” said Cassie’s dad, Mike Bosworth. “When they were kids I was so scared they were gonna get run over.” While no kids have been hurt yet, since moving to the home in 1991 just the Bosworth family alone has lost six cats and a dog to motorists speeding by. “A neighbour that lives two doors up from me told me: ‘I have seen at least three dead cats on our road in the last year,” said Cassie, adding that she knows of three other dogs that have been killed. “I’m tired of burying them.” Mike adds: “I’m tired of the heartache and heartbreak.” The rural road has a posted speed limit of 50 kilometres an hour. But the average speed is between 70 and 80, said Cassie. “In the summer it’s more like 90,” said Cassie, who routinely hears trucks, cars and motorbikes racing up and down the street. Over the years, Cassie has made little signs, one depicting the number of animals killed and the fact that no kids have been hurt, yet. She fears it’s only a matter of time before a child is injured or killed, as the road leads to Hillview Elementary and there are a number of families in the area. “Kids walk to school on this road all the

She has erected a sign outside of her home to try and get drivers to slow down and the Ministry of Transportation is looking into the situation. time.” Most recently, with the help of Adrian from Sunshine Autographics, she paid to have a professional sign made, which is displayed at the top of her driveway. She’s also made her case to the RCMP, Regional District of North Okanagan and the Ministry of Transportation. And now she is elated to discover that the

ministry is taking her concerns seriously. “I’m so excited. I’m finally getting somewhere,” said Bosworth. The ministry has reviewed the situation and is looking at placing an additional 50-kilometre-an-hour sign for southbound traffic – there is currently only one in the northbound lane. They may also relocate the existing speed sign and install a “slow” and

“vision limited” sign. The centre line will likely be repainted next year with a solid line, replacing the faded passing line paint. A speed reader has also been set up on the road. Cassie and her dad are also hopeful that the RCMP can help slow drivers down. “They need to send out a couple good fines...and send a message,” said Mike.

Board support for mill could generate ‘bias’ richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Politicians are being warned to not actively endorse a company’s expansion plans. Regional District of North Okanagan directors have been invited by the Agricultural Land Commission to participate in an April 30 public information meeting on North Enderby Timber’s applicaTrafford Hall tion to swap property for industrial activities. “There is significant (public) opposition to this. Let’s be careful,” said Trafford Hall, RDNO administrator.

Club

see you There!

“You will be judged on your lack of bias.” The warning was issued because if the ALC approves the application, North Enderby Timber must then apply to RDNO for OCP and rezoning amendments and a development permit. There is some concern that directors endorsing the company’s proposal at the ALC session may lead some residents to believe RDNO directors are not being objective when they consider zoning changes. “This could put our process about land use in jeopardy,” said director Mary-Jo O’Keefe. The ALC information meeting will be April 30 at 7 p.m. at the Grindrod Recreation Hall. “If you attend, attend as individual directors and not as the board,” Rob Smailes, general manager of planning and building, told directors.

“If you make any comments, they should be specific about the ALC application and not the development proposal.” North Enderby Timber wants to exclude 4.9 hectares adjacent to its Highway 97A site from the Agricultural Land Reserve so it can be used for a log storage yard and dry kiln. In return, the company wants to convert a former 4.9-hectare log sort yard on Crandlemire Road into agricultural capabilities. The company is concerned that if it doesn’t replace a kiln that was destroyed by fire in 2012, it could lose customers. Howie Cyr, Enderby director, says he will likely ask his city council to write a letter of support for the company’s ALC application. “It’s an enormous economic driver and we have an interest in that business,” he said.

The public is invited to attend the Interior Logging Association trade show Friday and Saturday at the Vernon Curling Club.

Loggers’ convention open to the public richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Forestry is still a major economic driver in B.C. but there’s little public awareness of what goes on in the woods. That’s why the public is invited to attend the Interior Logging Association’s trade show Friday and Saturday at the Vernon Curling Club. “We want people to see what’s going on in the log harvest industry,” said Wayne Lintott, general manager of the Vernon-based ILA. It’s expected that there will be about 50 exhibitors and residents can view various equipment up close and gather an array of information, including employment opportunities. “There are lots of jobs out there,” said Lintott. Lintott hopes local students will stop by the exhibits. “We have had schools attend from Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and the local area,” he said.

The trade show is part of the 55th annual ILA conference at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. The theme of the conference is focused on training and increasing the workforce. As part of that, there will be seminars on training heavy equipment operators and drugs and alcohol in the workplace. The guest speaker for the Friday luncheon will be John Peterson, B.C.’s chief forester. “He is responsible for the entire sector,” said Lintott. Peterson was appointed chief forester in 2012 and it was added to his role as assistant deputy minister for the tenures, competitiveness and innovation division of the Ministry of Forests. On Saturday, the luncheon speaker will be Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes, who will speak about supporting the forest industry through public policy.

Facility options reviewed richard rolke Morning Star Staff

It’s appears like control over recreational amenities could be left in Vernon’s hands. Representatives from the city, Coldstream and the electoral areas met again Thursday. Two models for managing recreational facilities dominated discussions — Vernon taking on duties through a contract with the regional district or the city being wholly responsible for all administrative decisions. “It’s common practise that a larger community owns and operates recreation facilities,” said Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director.

Either model would still see Coldstream and the electoral areas provide funds to access the services, but if Ve r n o n is left c o m pletely in charge of the facilities, Jim Garlick the other jurisdict i o n s may not have a governance role. “We need some more answers. We are just looking at an initial concept,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream director. One model that could be off the table is management directly shifting to the Regional District of North Okanagan.

Vernon officials have concerns with the concept. “The facilities are in Vernon and under title ownership of Vernon,” said Rob Sawatzky, a city director. “It would be a difficult political sell to turn over operations to another jurisdiction and there would be unknowns with turning it over to an organization that has never done it before. Unknowns can create risks.” The city currently operates the facilities under a contract with

A Spallumcheen barn has been destroyed by flames. The ArmstrongSpallumcheen Fire Department received reports of a structure fire at Knob Hill and Hullcar roads Thursday at about 10:30 p.m. “It was fully involved,” said Ian Cummings, fire chief. “There was a pig and piglets inside, but they got out OK.” There was little that could be done to save the barn so the main goal for firefighters was to keep the blaze from spreading. “There were exposures nearby, an old house and some trees,

RDNO, which provides administration. Sawatzky believes there isn’t a significant leap from that situation to the city making the decisions. “We want to be responsive to the elected officials and the public,” he said. The goal is to have all parties agree to a direction by June, but Macnabb isn’t sure if that’s possible. “This could drag into July and we still haven’t determined if arts and culture will be part of this process,” he said.

“It’s not a farmable piece and because there would be a covenant, he won’t be able to use it for anything else,” said director Kevin Acton. The maximum distance available for shooting would be 1,000 metres. “It would be nice to have a spot where you can do long-range shooting,” said director Eugene Foisy, adding that the facility would provide a safe environment instead of people just going into the woods to practise or sight guns. O’Rourke says the closest neighbour is more than a kilometre away and all mea-

There are only two other facilities in B.C. that provide a 1,000metre firing range and O’Rourke says the RCMP and military are interested in using his property. “There is a niche for this sort of thing,” he said. If the ALC approves non-farm use, O’Rourke will then have to pursue rezoning from the regional district.

cretion of the chairperson.” Staff stated that board meetings usually go from two to one a month in July and August because of a reduction in activity and people being on vacation. However, Dirk doesn’t agree with that view. “It was once in August and then last year, it was July too. It hasn’t always been done,” he said. Staff suggested eliminating the June 5 board meeting so the time could be used by Greater Vernon politicians to wrap up the recreation service reviews. “Everyone wants them done and there’s a real (time) crunch,” said administrator Trafford Hall. However, the board unanimously decided to leave the schedule as is, with two meetings a month. “It’s a way of reserving those times if they need to be available (for the board)” said director Rob Sawatzky.

Pain During Pregnancy One big change a woman’s body goes through when she is pregnant is her center of gravity shifts as the baby grows. This can cause strain to the low back, pelvis, and neck muscles as they compensate for this shift. These changes can also cause spine and pelvic misalignments, which are not only painful for Mom, but may also put extra pressure on baby. As posture changes to carry the weight of the developing baby, many women suffer from low back, pelvis, and neck discomfort. Many do not want to add pain killing drugs to their bodies at this time, and instead seek the help of chiropractic care.

With the provincial election underway, MLA George Abbott is now formally retired as representative for the Shuswap. But according to the B.C. Taxpayers Federation, Abbott will continue to reap the benefits of having served the riding since 1996. Abbott is one of 21 MLAs retiring after this term who will collect $20.8 million in pension payouts, based on calculations that assume the pension collection begins at age 65 and they live to be 80-years-old. Abbott’s share amounts to just under $90,000 a year. In order to qualify for the pension, MLAs must have served at least two terms in office.

Algebra comes in handy

op quiz: How often do you use algebra, trigonometry and calculus as an adult? Most of us would say “never”! The folks who do use advanced math would say that without it, you wouldn’t have cellphones and Wi-Fi and TV and weather satellites and GPS and Google and nuclear power and a gazillion other things that make modern life worth living. And for a change, both camps would be right. Most people don’t need to know advanced math, and the people that do have changed the world. Should every person who uses a smartphone also know how to design one? (Most of my friends can’t even use one. Jim Mullen “Who wants a phone that’s smarter than I am?” one golf partner asked me.) Trying to teach every high school student advanced math is like saying every high school student should learn how to play piano concertos. While that may be a beautiful and worthwhile goal for an individual, it’s a silly one for society at large. Some people have no talent and no desire. Some have both, but will never be very good. Some will just enjoy it. A very, very few will be very, very good. Mozart was playing and composing at 6 years old. Gee, how did he do that without going to high school? And if he had gone, would it have made him better or would it have bored him to tears? Would he have become a disciplinary problem? So, why are we wasting our time teaching advanced math to everyone instead of just those who need it or want it? Because of the long-dead Space Race. OMG, the Russians launched Sputnik! The Space Race was on; let’s improve those math scores. Anybody look at NASA’s budget recently? The Space Race is over. The Russians are now our frenemies, so we’ll just pay them to send our guys to space.

ThE VillAgE idioT

Just like the Pentagon is always fighting the last war, the education industry is always teaching the last lesson. In this case, that’s the Space Race. Hurry! We need more engineers for Apple and Microsoft! And that is true; they’re hiring all the foreign engineers they can get visas for. But guess what. Apple has $140 billion in cash on hand. If they want more engineers, let them pay to train them. And Facebook and Microsoft and all the rest. I would say the same thing to the NBA and the NFL. At least baseball pays for its farm teams. Our high schools and colleges are the NBA and NFL’s farm teams, so they should pay the bills. Now, here’s the irony. What do almost all students, and a lot of teachers, do all day long and in their spare time? They use apps on their smartphones and tablets. They go to web pages. They buy things online and talk to their friends online. Is the federal government demanding that high schools teach all kids how to design and make an app? Does it demand teaching them how to write HTML code to create web pages? This is not mathheavy learning. It’s about as difficult as learning how to get to the next level of one of the sophisticated computer games they play endlessly. No trig, no calculus, no algebra needed. I just bought a highly reviewed utility app for my computer. It was designed to do a simple repetitive task automatically to save me a ton of time. When I went to download it for free, it said this program was designed by a 15-year-old kid in New Zealand, and did I want to send him a contribution for the effort? I sure did. Of course, it could have really been designed by a 45-year-old guy in Brooklyn who knew he’d get more money posing as 15-year-old. But it works, so who cares? What is your 15-year-old doing right now? Studying computer programming, or doing the algebra homework he won’t remember five years from now? Is your high schooler playing computer games, or designing them? Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

It’s good to hear that members of Vernon council aren’t making any rash decisions about the much-anticipated core services review. On Monday, consultants will be presenting an extensive list of options that could allow the city to reduce spending while increasing revenue flow. But no one should anticipate firm action right there and then. If anything, Mayor Rob Sawatzky is right to suggest that council will require upwards of six weeks to chart a direction. “There are a number of opportunities identified but a number of them have roadblocks and difficulties implementing them,” he said. “We need to get more information first and we need to know the consequences for other parts of the organization.” No one likes paying taxes, but everyone expects to receive a certain level of service. What is the impact on residents and the ability of the city to function if an array of cost-saving measures are implemented? There’s already been a backlash to higher parking fees, so what will be the response if other levies climb further? There are some suggestions about contracting out some services or handing them over to other agencies. But will that provide the city with the transparency required when taxpayers’ dollars are involved? The fate of city staff shouldn’t necessarily be the top priority during the review, but they should be considered as many of them not only have significant skills, but they are committed to the community and public service. It will be interesting to see which route council ultimately takes with the core review. But while the process shouldn’t drag, there’s no prize for finishing first.

Sending a mixed message

he recent increases in city parking rates and the doubling of parking fines were approved by Vernon city council during their budget deliberations earlier this year. One of the justifications offered at the time was the city's abiding need to increase revenue. Apparently, our rates and penalties for parking violations had not been increased in years and had fallen behind those imposed by other communities in the valley. Doubling the fines did seem a little stiff but it should be remembered that the whole system of parking meters and their monitoring exists to fairly ration a limited parking resource for the benefit of those who choose or need to do business downtown. Fair enough. Still nobody is overjoyed at finding a ticket on their windshield. This angst over being caught

in violation of the parking bylaw appears to have motivated the most recent city council discussions aimed at softening the enforcement surrounding expired meters. The envisioned measures include issuing of warning tickets for perceived first timers, canvas-

sports facility If you look at the final results of the voting, had it not been for Coldstream votes, this referendum may not have gone through. They want it because they are, for the most part, younger folks with families or seniors with grandchildren. The voters in Vernon, downtown and close proximity for the most part did not want it. It will be very interesting to see what happens when the normal folks go to the track to walk around it and get told to leave because of some sort of training is going on. Mayor Garlick has basically said if they go past the date that the ALR and college have given for completion, it will be no problem. Does he think he has the power and the pull to say, 'Go away folks, we will finish the facility in due course.' People, down the road, will see what a farce this project was when all the other wish list items in Vernon come to fruition. And when the legal battles with Kin Race Track are over and the RDNO builds another facility there similar to the one at the college. It will be then that the no voters for this referendum will have their laugh and say, 'I told ya so.' I also have a pet peeve when folks say it will bring an economic boost. Well, yes it will, to the bars, restaurants and hotels. It will not put a cent in my pocket. Greg Wood

poor planninG Recently, I tried to get around the west end of 30th Avenue. The traffic flow is poorly thought out. At one time, Coldstream Avenue, between 34th and 35th streets, was a two-way street. Would it not make sense to return Coldstream Avenue to a two-way street now that the buses have been moved the fantasy bus terminus at Cenotaph Park? It surely would make sense while 30th Avenue is torn up. I do not see how narrowing down 30th Avenue and widening sidewalks will draw more people to the downtown core. The recent official community plan open house at the Village Green Centre was poorly put together and a waste of time. I do not think it matters what a person has to say about the OCP. City hall already has its mind made up about what is going to be done in Vernon. The one thing I learned from the open house — look out, the 43rd Avenue road diet is next. George serhan boWlinG for kids On behalf of the B.C.

be delivered by a kinder, gentler bylaw officer. I'm confused. On the one hand, our city council doubles the parking fines citing the need for revenue and the other hand seriously considers new priorities in the enforcement which are less efficient, more expensive and will likely result in fewer fines being issued. So which is it: more revenue or less tickets? You can't have it both ways. When council tries to go in opposite directions at the same time, it results in going nowhere. It should have remembered that everyone complains about parking fines, and that uniformly monitored parking meters remains the fairest way to administrate the limited on street parking in our downtown. Still time on the meter. shawn lee

for their support. Also, I would like to thank businesses in Vernon, Armstrong and Kamloops, car dealers, Scotiabank, VantageOne Credit Union, the Vernon legion and the Elks Club. A very special thanks to Bernie Bonthoux, who has donated $500 each year for five years. My total collected this year was $6,535 from Dec. 1 to Jan. 31, and I had 320 pledges. My total collected for the past nine years is $36,005 for B.C. Bowl For Kids. B.C. Bowl For Kids presented a cheque to the Variety Club for $75,000 at the February telethon. Thanks to all for the great support and I hope to continue again next year. Please listen and support Kiss FM's Variety Children's Radiothon April 24 and 25. Marvin Zwarych parkinG shortaGe Now that we the people have voted to put in a sports facility, I can foresee that we will have a cost overrun. Where are we going to park 1,000 vehicles at the new facility? The same as parking for buses? Not at the college. There's hardly enough for students and teachers. Where are the people that carpool going to park after? It’s time to get your planning in properly. kim low

free parkinG The City of Vernon must show good faith to the merchants on 30th Avenue by creating a free parking zone bounded by 33rd Avenue to the north, 27th Avenue to the south, 31st Street to the east and 35th Street to the west. This zone should remain for one month after construction on 30th Avenue is complete. This will remove the predatory parking patrol from the area. brent collet

Kermode Lake gains support richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There is growing support to honour a North Okanagan photographer. The Regional District of North Okanagan board will write the provincial Geographical Names Office and ask that a lake in Monashee Provincial Park be named after Doug Kermode. In 1946, Kermode, who died in 2001, visited the Peters Doug Kermode Lake area of the Monashee Mountains. After that, he lobbied to have the area declared a provincial park, which officially occurred in 1962. The Vernon-born Kermode also captured the history of the North Okanagan through 1,500 photographs and he was involved in activities like Vernon Winter Carnival. “He was quite an exceptional person,” said Patrick Nicol, RDNO chairperson. Also wanting a lake named for Kermode are the Cherryville Historical Society and RDNO’s Electoral Area Advisory Committee.

Politicians want a role Elected officials are demanding more of a role in the development of Greater Vernon’s sports facility. While administration had suggested that staff, consultants and user groups play a role in the facility design and going to tender, Regional District of North Okanagan board members want a seat at the table. “The people who are going to wear it, the politicians, should have direct input,” said director Bob Fleming. A recent referendum allows RDNO to borrow $7.5 million for the facility at Okanagan College. Cherryville forest supported There is regional support for economic development in Cherryville. The Regional District of North Okanagan is backing the Cherry Ridge Management Committee’s bid to have its allowable annual cut expanded to 7,500 cubic metres in the Cherryville community forest. “They will only remove the wood that is dying or dead and keep the area natural,” said Eugene Foisy, RDNO director, adding that the forest helps create jobs. The increase in the allowable annual cut must be approved by the provincial government.

Sidewalk Sadie marks milestone RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

The atmosphere in front of Jim and Sara Channon’s Vernon townhouse last Sunday was quite different from the same day a year ago. It was more party than panic where not even an afternoon downpour could dampen the spirits. Sunday marked the first birthday for the Channon’s daughter, Sadie, who, on April 14, 2012, at around 1 p.m., was born on the sidewalk in front of the Channon’s townhouse. “I’d come from work and Sara was in labour,” said Jim, underneath his porch as a mid-afternoon storm hit Vernon. “I walked her out the door and she was screaming at me, ‘You’d better pick me up.’ I was taking her down the steps and she started screaming at me that she’s coming out.” Jim’s sister-in-law saw what was happening and called for an ambulance. She also brought out blankets and pillows for Sara to be comfortable. The first emergency personnel to arrive on the scene was a crew from Vernon Fire Rescue Services, who helped deliver Sadie on the sidewalk. The baby earned the nickname “Sidewalk Sadie.” Among them was fireman Rob Cucheran, who was invited to Sadie’s party, and showed up in a big red fire truck along with crew members Mike Stoll, Jodie Bradley and Dan Nadeau. “We were at another incident down the street when we got the call about Sadie,” recalled Cucheran. “It’s great to see Sadie again. She’s a lot bigger than the last time I saw her. We’ve been in contact with the family throughout the year. It’s kind of a neat thing to keep connected with people after an

incident like that.” After Sadie was born, she and Sara were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital’s maternity ward, where they received excellent care. For the occasion of her first party, the birthday girl was decked out in a pink Minnie Mouse outfit, which was the chosen theme for the celebration. Close to 20 friends and family celebrated Sadie’s birthday, with kids in attendance getting special tours of the Vernon Fire Rescue Service’s fire truck. “To have these guys (firemen) come to the party is just a blessing,” said Jim. “They played a huge part in Sadie’s delivery. They were the first ones there. I’m overwhelmed that they accepted the party invitation.” A year after being born outside on a sidewalk, all of the Channons are doing just fine. “Sadie is excellent,” said Jim. “There are no complications. One year ago we were in panic mode on the sidewalk. Now we’re having a great celebration.” The words “Sidewalk Sadie Born Here April 14/12” along with two hearts and a big letter X were temporarily painted on the sidewalk to mark the spot Sadie was born for the special occasion.

Bob steps up to aid United Way Morning Star Staff

Bob Shepherd is once again making strides for his community. The Vernon resident has completed several oneman walks to raise funds for United Way. “Bob had begun a walking regime for his health and wanted to do something good with his walking,” said Linda Yule, executive director of United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap. “Bob raised $4,000 for United Way by getting pledges to walk around the multiplex.” He is now training and gathering pledges to do a walk from Armstrong to Vernon on July 15 and hopes to raise $3,000. Shepherd has also washed windows for businesses around town for many years. Although he has retired from doing this full time, he wants to offer his services to businesses Tuesday mornings, in exchange for a donation to United Way. He asks that you not pay him but instead send a cheque to the United Way for the value of his work. For more information call United Way at 5491346.

An Enderby student proved his excellence in autobody skills, earning him a spot in the national skills competition. A.L. Fortune student Kurtis Gordey competed in the Skills Canada B.C. provincial competition, which culminated Wednesday, among 567 middle, high, and post-secondary students. His autobody skills earned him a place among the 49 first place winners, who will compete at the Skills Canada National Competition June 5-8. “Kurtis is part of the school district’s secondary school apprenticeship program as well as the ACE-IT autobody program,” said Alice Hucul, School District 83 communications. “North Okanagan-Shuswap School District was well represented by the local students who took part in the B.C.-wide event, however, only Kurtis qualified to move on to national competition.” Gordey joins leading skills students across B.C., which included a number of Okanagan College students. Medals were awarded to champions in six skilled trade and technology categories: transportation, construction, manufacturing, information and technology, service and employment. The Skills Canada British Columbia Competition is the only Olympic-style, multi-trade and technology event of its kind for young students and apprentices in the province. According to WorkBC, British Columbia is expected to become one of Canada’s economic leaders in the years to come with GDP forecasted to grow by over 25 per cent in the next five years. Increased services, from health care to emerging high-tech to trade occupations are the sectors expected to drive most of the economic growth. “The goal of this competition is to recognize our brightest skilled trade and technology students for excellence while educating and informing the public on the most in-demand jobs and the fastest growing industry sectors,” said Kelly Betts, Skills BC president. “The event is also a key annual initiative of Skills Canada British Columbia, helping raise the profile of careers in skilled trades and technologies for students, businesses and educators.” The Skills Canada National Competition, will be held June 5 to 8 at BC Place, Vancouver. The 49 qualifying winners from the Skills Canada BC Competition will compete against their peers from all regions of Canada. The competition provides an opportunity for young Canadians studying a skilled trade or technology to be tested against exacting industry standards and to vie to win the honour of being crowned the best in their chosen discipline.

Local youth will participate in Earth Day festivities Tuesday. The Be the Change Earth Day gathering will take place at Ellison Elementary School. “The city is partnering on this initiative with the Ozone Grade 6/7 class at Ellison Elementary,” said Jessica Rayner, environmental planning assistant with the City of Vernon. “This event is open to students from across Vernon who are preparing Be the Change projects to present at the gathering.” Students will arrive at the school at about 9:45 a.m. and that will be followed by an official welcome and a concert by Expression Collective. At 10:40 a.m., there will be Earth Day learning opportunities and then there will be lunch at a concert by Kiki the Eco Elf at 12:30 p.m. At 12:30 p.m., there will be shared stories on sustainability and then students depart at 1:35 p.m. The City of Vernon will not host a community celebration on Earth Day Monday because of an overlap with a school district professional development day.

Gardner courageous in battle TYLER LOWEY Thompson River University

Sebastian Gardner is staring down cancer, for the second time. Gardner, 24, is a 6-foot-1 midfielder with the PacWest Thompson Rivers University men’s soccer team. He is affectionately known as Seb. On Dec. 28, 2011 he was called into a Vernon doctor’s office and told he had been diagnosed with cancer. The oncologists narrowed it down to Hodgkin’s lymphoma, nonHodgkin’s lymphoma and leukemia. “I did my own research on the three cancers and found out what was the ‘best cancer’ to have,” said Gardner, who helps developmentally challenged folks as part of his social work studies. On Jan. 11, 2012, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which has the highest success rate out of the three cancers he was facing. It is the same cancer that hockey superstar Mario Lemieux overcame in 1993. “The oncologist told me that there was a 95 per cent chance of overcoming this,” said Gardner, a Fulton grad. “That really turned my spirits around and gave me the strength to take this on.” He remained positive and never doubted for a second that he could overcome it – it’s just the way he was raised. Gardner comes from an English family that immigrated to Vernon when he was five. He is the oldest of three children. His father, John, is a hardrunning defender with the Vernon Camels oldtimers. His mom’s name is Penny. Gardner started chemotherapy at the end of January back in Vernon. “I would spend six hours hooked up to an IV getting pumped with four different types of drugs,” he said. “I would feel pretty shitty for the next two or three days, but after that I was fine.” Gardner was in and out of chemotherapy until the end of June. He hoped to play again in July. Ten days before his 24th birthday, the oncologists told him that he was cancer free. “Seb called me after he found out the good news: he was so happy,” said Cassie Drummond, Gardner’s fiancée. “He was out on the streets in Vancouver crying with happiness.” Gardner was ready to take a crack at soccer again. He started playing in the men’s summer league in Kamloops by the end of last May. He had to miss the odd week or two depending on his chemotherapy schedule,

Vernon’s Seb Gardner, a midfielder with the TRU WolfPack, controls the action in PacWest play against the Kwantlen College Eagles of Surrey. but he still played regularly. He worked hard for the rest of the summer, setting his sights on making TRU’s team out of the August preseason camp and he did. The team responded to his return. They went from a team that won three games the previous year to winning seven this past fall. They just missed a trip to nationals and Gardner was named a second-team all-star. Everything — Seb was going so smoothly. Gardner went in for a routine checkup this past January, but something came up. The doctors found something suspicious in his chest. They wanted to be safe, so they booked him for a CT scan. The cancer was back. “The news was absolutely crushing,” said Gardner. “Lots of tears and disbelief. I questioned myself, if I brought it back. I felt guilty

for every drink I had or any bad food that I ate when I was healthy.” Oncologists gave him a 40 per cent chance of overcoming this second round of cancer. “Giving up or giving in never crossed my mind. I believe God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.” Gardner has a new approach to round two with cancer. He has completely Gardner changed the way he lives. Starting with his diet, he has eliminated dairy and alcohol. He says he has cut down his red meat and increased his intake of raw vegetables. “Right now I take it one day at a time and enjoy life.” Gardner has some tough work ahead of him. Last week, he went to Vancouver General Hospital for a stem cell transplant.

“God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.”

He will be given drugs to harvest the stem cells in his blood and those cells will be frozen and stored for a few weeks. In the meantime, Gardner will be in isolation for two weeks where he will go through aggressive chemotherapy as they wipe out his immune system; it will be an exhausting process. Afterwards, once his body begins to show signs of recovery, doctors will slowly give the stored stem cells back to him. The goal is to have the stored cells restart his immune system. He will remain in the hospital for a few weeks as he recovers and goes through more chemotherapy. Doctors like his chances compared to most people because of his physical condition and his young age. Those two factors improve his chances of surviving from 40 per cent to 50 per cent. It will take him anywhere from six months to a year to fully recover from this round of chemotherapy. Plans of returning to soccer one day are still on his radar. “Nobody wants to be back on that field in September more than I do. I know it’s a bit of a long shot, but whatever.” Gardner got engaged to his long-term girlfriend this winter. “He proposed to me on Dec. 28,” said Drummond. “It was one year to the day when he was diagnosed with cancer for the first time. He told me that on this day last year his life was changed in a terrible way. Now, he wanted to change his life in a much happier way.” Said Seb: “Cassie has been my rock. She is so supportive, she gets me to chemo when I don’t want to go and gets me through some rough days,” Gardner said. Cassie attends every appointment and chemotherapy session. The two will start planning their wedding later this summer with plans to get married in September, 2014. “That’s another huge motivator for me,” said Gardner. “I can’t wait to start a new phase of my life with Cassie and start a family.” Gardner has kept a positive attitude throughout this process. “I don’t have any doubt in my mind that this will work. I have total faith in the operation,” he said. He has every reason to complain and give in, but he won’t. He instead pursues good health and takes everything life throws his way as a test. “Seb likes a challenge, he is very stubborn,” said Drummond. “He won’t ever give in, he is very mentally tough.” 917 - 33rd Avenue

Fitzgerald fresh for Westerns

beat Powell River in four and it felt like it was a bigger deal than playing Spruce Grove. It was like the Doyle Cup was getting in the way. Hopefully we can jump on them. We have fresh legs and we’re definitely good enough to win. “Look at the teams in the final (Surrey Eagles and Penticton Vees), we went 1-1 with both of them. We could have gone all the way. We hit a bump in the playoffs so we’re not going to get blown away by anybody.” Fitzgerald, 20, was traded by the Vipers to the Prince George Spruce Kings two summers ago. He was then packaged to Nanaimo in a deal which saw the Fitzgerald triplets land in PG. He is blessed with the full-meal deal as a hockey player. Tough, smart, good hands, tremendous work habits and a leader who adores the game. The 6-foot, 200-pound power forward led the Shipmen with two goals and six points in their playoff series. He was fifth in team regular-season points with 16-26-42 and 90 penalty minutes. Vandekamp shuffles his lines like he’s a blackjack dealer but Fitzgerald normally ends up playing alongside ultra-talented American Reid Sturos, who had an awesome game here back in early November. “He’s pretty easy to find,” said Fitzy. “He’s got lots of speed so it makes my job easier.” The Clippers enjoyed a 32-win season, good for sixth overall in the 16-team BCHL.

aiting 38 days in between hockey games is hardly a template for success. Or is it? Vernon’s Trevor Fitzgerald, captain of the Nanaimo Clippers, believes taking the tourist route to the Crescent Point Energy Western Canadian Junior A Hockey Cup just may work. The Clippers open the five-team tournament Saturday afternoon against the Alberta champion Brooks Bandits (they grounded the Spruce Grove Saints 6-5 in OT in Game 5 Friday night in Brooks to retain their AJHL title).The Clippers were knocked out of the BCHL playoffs by the Alberni Valley Kevin Mitchell Bulldogs on March 20. Head coach Mike Vandekamp sent his players home for a 20-day rest, calling them back last week for a mini training camp. They held scrimmages Saturday after a full week of tough conditioning practices and will take today off. “We kind of look at it as a lot of the teams coming here will have a hangover,” said Fitzgerald, who won a Royal Bank Cup in Dauphin, Man. with the Vipers as a gritty 18-year-old. “They’ve celebrated winning their league, but it’s not the end. There is something else bigger. “I know, when I was with Vernon, we

Summer blooms in Grande Prairie “They (Selkirk) were a very good team,” said Jespersen, a Kal grad. “We’re a good passing team and everybody can score, but we were just missing on our chances in the Westerns. I think I played OK. I had chances to score, but was unlucky. I kept missing the net or hitting the goalie in the chest.” The Panthers won the provincials in Edmonton to earn a berth to the Westerns. They grounded the host Richmond Thunder 4-1, edged the West Central Icehawks of Regina and lost 4-0 to Selkirk in preliminary games. The Blazing Stars went into the final undefeated. It was the Panthers’ ninth Western Shield medal in the past 11 years – three gold, three silver and three bronze. “It’s good hockey,” said Jespersen, the second-youngest player with the Panthers. “I played on the second line and was second-line powerplay and penalty kill so I got lots of ice time.” Grande Prairie won the Peace Cariboo

Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor

Summer Jespersen went to Grande Prairie to get an education. Along the way, she was a walk-on signing for the Grande Prairie Regional College Wolves soccer team and she also made the city’s senior women’s hockey club known as the Panthers. Jespersen, who turns 19 in May, played centre for the Panthers at the Western Shield Jespersen tourney for senior female A and B teams in Surrey. The Panthers lost 3-0 to the Selkirk Blazing Stars of Manitoba in the gold-medal B game two Saturdays ago. Grande Prairie lost the 2012 senior B final to the Kamloops Vibe, a team the Panthers battled to a scoreless tie against in their tournament opener.

league en route to the Westerns. Jespersen is a Canucks fan first and an Oilers fan second. Her favourite NHLers are Mason Raymond of Vancouver and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of Edmonton. Asked which sport she was better at, she laughingly replied: “Hockey for sure. I’ve been skating since I was two. I have three older brothers and I was always the goalie when we played on the outdoor rink my dad (Glenn) built for us. I started soccer later.” She played Midget AAA hockey for the Salmon Arm Silvertips two years ago, earning a bronze medal at provincials. Jespersen, a defender, came off the bench for the Wolves. She hopes to get more minutes next year. In general studies, she plans to study fitness leadership in her sophomore season. She wrote final exams this week and is heading home to Vernon, where she will spend the summer working in housekeeping at Predator Ridge Golf Resort.

Jacura jacks up Maroon attack Morning Star Staff

AJ Jacura supplied all the offence as the Fulton Maroons grounded the Seaton Sonics 3-1 in North Zone Senior Girls Soccer League action Thursday at Marshall Field. Kyra Lee handled the scoring for Seaton in their first game of the season. “Seaton has a few players that are brand new to soccer,” said Sonics’ head coach Sarah Kwantes. “The knowledgeable players really stepped up to help mentor the new players.” In other Thursday league play, the VSS Panthers upended the Pleasant Valley Sinners 4-1. Megan Prentice and Valentina Correale scored for the Panthers in the opening half, while Danika Seed replied for Pleasant Valley. Tara Styan and Natalie Johnston added second-half

goals for the Cats. League play resumes Thursday with the Kalamalka Lakers visiting Pleasant Valley and Panthers battling the Sonics at MacDonald Park. In junior girls play, Fulton defeated the visiting Salmon Arm Jewels 2-0 behind goals from Cayleigh Graham. Brittany Skrenek recorded the shutout with some stellar diving saves as the game was winding down. “We had a great all-around team effort with exceptional defensive play by Carlee Meausette, Madison Catt, Sarah Orr and Ashley Glinsbockel,” said Maroons’ coach Sharon Shaigec. Next game for the Maroons is Wednesday against Seaton (3:40 p.m., Marshall Field). VSS hosts the Revelstoke Rams the same day, also at Marshall.

Eagles one win from BCHL title Morning Star Staff/BCHL

The Surrey Eagles have a chance to earn their first Fred Page Cup title since 2005. All they have to do is find a way to win on the road against the Penticton Vees in Game 6 of the B.C. Hockey League championship final tonight (5 p.m.) at the South Okanagan Events Centre. That is easier said than done given how the series has gone so far. Neither team has lost on home ice, including the Eagles’ 2-1 overtime win in Game 5 Thursday night at South Surrey Arena. Kevan Kilistoff scored 5:44 into the first OT to put his team one win away from the Cup.

Penticton opened the scoring with just 2.9 seconds left in the first period on a goal by Travis Blanleil. It was the game’s only goal until 5:32 of the third frame when Surrey’s Trevor Cameron tucked home a wraparound to set the stage for overtime. Shots were 30-30 for the game and each team was 0-for-4 on the man advantage. If necessary, Game 7 would go Thursday in Surrey. The winner advances to the Western Canada Cup starting Saturday in Nanaimo. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Curtis Lazar counted a goal and assist as the host Edmonton Oil Kings thrashed the Calgary Hitmen 6-0

in Game 2 of the WHL Eastern Conference final Friday night at Rexall Place. The Kings, who fell 3-2 in the series opener Thursday, went 4-for-14 on the powerplay as the Hitmen racked up 101 penalty minutes to Edmonton’s 46. Vernon’s Brady Brassart netted the overtime winner for Calgary in Game 1. In the Western final, the host Portland Winterhawks grounded the Kamloops Blazers 4-1 in Game 1 Friday night. Game 2 went Saturday in Portland, with the series coming to Kamloops for the third and fourth tilts Tuesday and Wednesday night respectively.

Brendan Urban collected five goals as the Kelowna Raiders opened the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League regular season with a 10-7 win over the host Armstrong Shamrocks Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Armstrong netminder Cole McFarlane kept the Rocks competitive with a 36-save showing, and helped the offence with three assists. Willy Hanley led the attack with 2+1, while Nathan Marcetta and Conor Payne each added a goal and an assist. Singles went to Carston Schlaak, Drew Hassard and Mike Hanley. Armstrong trailed 4-3 after the first period, but evened the score at 6-6 after 40 minutes. “They’re working hard but the offence just isn’t there yet,” said Irish head coach Bryan Cope. “You can see the system developing.” Tanner Belsham had 28 stops for Kelowna. Armstrong visited the Kamloops Venom Saturday night. The Vernon Source For Sports Tigers open league play this Saturday in Armstrong.

Touch rugby offers safe start to sport Morning Star Staff

Grassroots rugby is sprouting up in Vernon thanks to a new skills program. Vernon Youth Touch Rugby aims to offer the fundamental passing, running and positional skills used in rugby – in both the league and union forms of the game – in a friendly, non-contact environment. “It’s absolutely core fundamental skills, no matter what code of rugby you end up playing,” said Iain Scott, who is co-ordinating the program with Gord Cheyne. The touch rugby program, sponsored by the Vernon Rotary Club, is open to boys and girls ages four to 12. There will be a total of six weekly sessions running Sundays from 10-11 a.m. at Grahame Park starting May 12. There will be an opening-day registration is at 9:30 a.m., and the cost is $20, which includes snacks and a T-shirt. Scott, originally from York, England (Northern England is the birthplace of rugby league), said touch rugby is a generic form of the sport enjoyed around the world, adding it is particularly attractive because it is relatively inexpensive compared to other sports. “There’s no need for a huge financial commitment to play rugby. We take kids in from all backgrounds.” While rugby league is the lesser known of the two

forms of the sport, Scott said it is hugely popular in Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom. The Rugby League World Cup is being hosted by England and Wales this October and November. Scott said Canada’s national program is still developing, but added they have a good chance to qualify for 2017 worlds. The next Rugby Union World Cup will be hosted by England, in 2015. Scott and Cheyne are looking for volunteers to help with registration, set up, supervision and skills coaching. They are also seeking further sponsorship. For more information, or to volunteer, contact Gordon Cheyne at ghcheyne@gmail.com, or 250938-1162; or Iain Scott at iain.scott@investorsgroup. com, or 250-307-4888. Meanwhile, the Vernon Panthers remain undefeated in North Zone Grade 8 rugby play after an 18-8 win over host Shuswap Middle School. Malcolm Wiens scored three tries for the Cats, two of them in the first period to help Vernon jump out to a 10-0 lead. Charis Ondrik converted on the first Panther score. Shuswap stormed back with two tries of their own with some strong possessions in the second frame, but were unable to boot a convert on either. Tyler Riva barged in for a try from 10 yards out, and Wiens scored late in the game to secure the win. VSS takes on the Fulton Maroons Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Grahame Park.

Tiremen ride first-half lead to victory Morning Star Staff

Denis Chabot and Mike Lloyd each scored twice as Vernon Kal Tire rolled over Kelowna United 5-1 in Okanagan Men’s 50+ Soccer League action Thursday night at Okanagan Mission #71 Park. Lloyd, a former Vancouver Whitecaps Reserve, bagged two goals in the first half as the Tiremen rung up a 3-0 lead. The towering striker, showing little rust after a Mexican holiday, connected once on a penalty kick and nodded in a super cross by Tom Ouchi. Chabot also headed in one attempt after a twirling, misfired volley by Kevin Mitchell, and buried a low blast after a great feed by Jim Sparrow.

Hard-charging defender Ted Sheehan took the Sleeman’s Man of the Match with honourable mention to Sparrow, who ran a marathon in the middle. Dave Scott was the only Kelowna shooter to beat keeper Al Bensmiller in the driving rain. The North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 season opened Thursday night with Chick Kickers OMG clipping the Green Rockets 2-1 at Marshall Field #4. Speedster Tawny Rudderham scored for the expansion Green Rockets in the cool drizzle. Keeper duties for the Rockets were shared by Dana Dimmick and Rachel

Cross, who both rocked out of the net as well. Excellent defence came from Karmyn Karmyn, Sam Audley and Kim Lewis. Newbie Deneen Tomlinson played centre midfield, learning on the fly while showing grit to make several clutch plays. Capri Insurance edged Centerline Attack 2-1 at Marshall #2 in the other Division 2 opener. Sarah Kwantes scored for the Attack, who welcomed new coach Greg Thalheimer, well known for developing female athletes. Shyla Ladd and Christine Beham turned in sweet showings, while keepers Kris Ponto and Azra Cawley were outstanding in the crease.

Tae kwon do kids medal Morning Star Staff

Newcomer status didn’t seem to phase the 12 students from Hassan’s Tae Kwon Do Academy as they competed in Chong’s Invitational last weekend at the Pacific Academy in Surrey. Battling in their first-ever tourney, members of the Armstrongbased club claimed 16 medals. “This remarkable achievement is even more impressive because, for all of the students, this was their first tournament,” said Hassan Ezzemouri, head instructor. “The group trained intensely and were

confident going into the competition.” Earning gold in poomse (forms) were Jasmine Ezzemouri, Lexi Mason and Kaelyn Curtis. Xander Tolway, Alyssa Taburiaux and Hazel Bernath struck silver in poomse, with bronze medals going to Kaitlyn Tabariaux, Cristian Johnston, Liam Daly, Michael McInroy, Christopher Curtis and Sophia Ezzemouri. In sparring action, Tolway collected gold, Christopher Curtis recorded silver and Johnston and Mason earned bronze.

CONTRACTORS SPECIAL!

Coldstream backs campaign Coldstream is joining communities across the country in the fight against cancer by supporting the Canadian Cancer Society’s April daffodil campaign. This year’s daffodil campaign is particularly meaningful as 2013 marks the organization’s 75th anniversary. The Canadian Cancer Society was founded on March 28, 1938 and through the years, has grown into Canada’s leading national cancer-fighting charity. “We are so impressed by the number of British Columbians who wear their daffodil pin during April to show their support for those affected by cancer,” said Sally Ginter, CCS Southern Interior regional director. Ginter recently promoted the campaign in Coldstream. “This movement, which originated in B.C. and is thanks to countless dedicated volunteers, recognizes the cancer journey and mobilizes communities to make a really big difference in the fight against cancer,” she said. “Every year, we see the community rally around Daffodil Month and Daffodil Day and this year is no exception.” Daffodil Day, which is Saturday, helps wrap up the society’s campaign by designating a special day where we can reflect upon the thousands of Canadians who are on a cancer journey and also to remember those who have not survived. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society during Daffodil Month help fund research to outsmart cancer, assist in providing information and deliver programs to prevent cancer and support those living with cancer, and support advocacy for public policies that improve the health of Canadians. To donate online or to find out where you

can get a daffodil pin, go to fightback.ca or contact the Canadian Cancer Society’s regional office at 1-800-4038222. For 75 years the Canadian Cancer Society has been with Canadians in the fight for life. “We have been relentless in our commitment to prevent cancer, fund research and support Canadians touched by cancer,” said Ginter. “From this foundation, we will work with Canadians to change cancer forever so fewer Canadians are diagnosed with the disease and more survive. “ For more information about the society, go to www.cancer.ca. Or you can also call the society’s tollfree bilingual Cancer Information Service at 1-888-939-3333;TTY,1866-786-3934.

A family huddles together as if for protection, the mother wearing a scarf, her overcoat neat, if shabby. A child clings to her skirts. In another shot, a teenager looks directly at the camera, her smile both tremulous and eager. This is Pier 21 in Halifax, and these are refugees from war-torn

Europe in the ‘30s and ‘40s, waiting in the Immigration shed for their papers to be processed. They have left behind the familiar landmarks of their lives: their neighbourhoods, their traditions, friends and loved ones. It is a strange new world they are entering with no more than their valises in hand, metal trunks at their feet — and dreams for the future in their hearts. Now, over half a century later, I stand in front of the doors,

through which more than a million people took their first steps onto Canadian soil. For each one of them it was more than crossing a threshold, it was a huge leap of faith into the future. They came here from every part of Europe, drawn by Canada’s promise of freedom from religious and ethnic persecution, and the chance to start life afresh. I can’t but wonder what became of them. Not just those 100,000

displaced persons and refugees but also the 3,000 evacuee children sent here for safety from the London Blitz. And what of the 50,000 war brides who joined their Canadian spouses? And I think of our servicemen who left from Pier 21, and of those who didn’t come back. Jennifer, who is leading our group, answers my unspoken question about the brides whose one-way passages were paid by Canada during and after the war. “We had a joyous 60th anniversary reunion for the war brides Feb. 9, 2006,” she says. “Some were widows, but many joined us along with their husbands and families.” We pause in front of a shot of a tow-headed lad, whose grandmother is pouring him a drink of water. Jennifer tells us that a greying middle-aged man living in Winnipeg, returned to Pier 21 a few years ago to identify his Russian grandmother and himself as that small boy caught by the camera’s eye almost 50 years ago. A woman in our group today smiles as she hears this. “I remember arriving here from Hungary in 1956,” she says in accented English.

“We were fleeing the communists after the revolution, but my sister and I were just little, and we didn’t understand, so I was scared. My mother told me not to worry — that we were in a safe country now, where life would be beautiful.” She pauses to dab the corner of her eye before adding, “And, of course, she was right.” Perhaps the most poignant of all was the tale of a Holocaust survivor, who in a quiet moment when he had the Second World War deck to himself, knelt down and kissed the floor. It brings a lump in my throat. After 43 years, Pier 21 finally closed its doors in 1971. Re-opening in 1999, it is Canada’s only immigration museum, a repository of haunting photographs, memorabilia, and tales, both sorrowful and glad. Pier 21 is not just a place to visit. It is a profound and moving experience. Perhaps one that should be on every Canadian’s list of things to do. And, like me, whoever does so, will never again take this country’s blessings for granted.

Relaxing through the heat

ow, is it hot here in Naples, Florida, close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, around 40 Celsius. Very different heat from the Okanagan, though; it is like walking into a bowl of warm soup when you go outdoors, heavy, wet air encompasses you and leaves you damp and fatigued. pat black Finding enough energy to do the simplest things is difficult. Air conditioning is vital and almost every building and home has this cooled environment. However, labourers still work outdoors and I wonder how they survive, especially those road workers who are constructing the new #41 highway where there are clouds of dust and full sunshine all day. Although I have been here in April many times, this is the first time the heat has been so oppressive and debilitating. It is seriously interfering with the execution of the bucket list my sister and I have compiled for this season. Even going to the ocean, a few blocks away, is problematic in this heat as there is little shade on the beaches and the usual balmy breezes

are not blowing in from the Gulf this year. If you can stay in the water you are OK, but for people with mobility issues it can be difficult as the tide cuts deep shelves into the sand and entering or exiting may be risky. However, being intrepid Canadians, and as weather-focused as all Canadians seem to be, it does not prevent us from having a great time. We sleep late, swim in the pool and schmooze with our fellow snow birds, usually about the weather and places to eat out. Last Friday we went to Big Al’s, as recommended, and had delicious broiled lobster for dinner at a very reasonable price. Big Al’s is a sports bar and we counted 16 TVs that we could see from where we sat, most with different sporting events being shown. Needless to say we didn’t go for the ambience but the lobster was sure good. Speaking of different dining experiences, one night, while in Toronto, we went to a Japanese restaurant and experienced a Teppanyaki style dinner. I had never heard of this kind of Japanese style cooking and was very impressed. About eight people sit in a half circle around a flat metal top grill while the top-hatted Japanese chef conducts his orchestra medley of fresh vegetables, rice, noodles,

meats and fish, chosen by individual patrons from an extensive and very novel menu. Depending on the chef at your station, you may be treated to catching shrimp in your mouth which he throws at you from time-to-time, to being invited to assist in cooking a dish. Our chef was very adept at unexpectedly lighting the top of the grill on fire using alcohol. A small flame ignited the booze, followed by a loud swoosh and a sudden burst of flames climbing to the huge exhaust system over the range. It was like a circus, and the chef was the ringmaster and entertainer. He was also an excellent cook and the food was delicious. The University of Victoria will once again be holding a free six-week health workshop series called the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. It will be held in Vernon on Wednesdays (7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) starting May 8 and running for six weeks to June 12. This workshop is not a drop-in and registration is required. To register please call toll-free 1 866 902 3767 with your name, telephone number and postal code. I highly recommend this program and I know it helped me a lot in dealing with my chronic arthritis problems. If you have questions or comments you can e-mail me at blackmail1@telus.net

The Green Party has named a candidate in the Kelowna-Lake Country riding. Gary Adams, a retired teacher, said he decided to run because of concerns about climate change and the world that will be left for his grandchildren if steps are not taken to protect the environment. Locally, he said, water quality is an issue, especially in Lake Country and agriculture issues also need to be addressed. He said he plans to talk to farmers about their concerns as the campaign moves along. In this campaign, Adams will challenge incumbent B.C. Liberal candidate Norm Letnick. B.C. Conservative Graeme James and the NDP’s Mike Nuyens round out the current slate of candidates who have announced they are running. Adams, 61, is married to artist Louise Adams, has an adult daughter and a couple of grandchildren. He said while he has never ran for elected office before, he has worked on political campaigns in the past and attributes his political values to his parents. He said his extended family has always been involved in politics. “During my youth, my parents and friends influenced me to be involved in many school sports, church activities, scouting, and camping. All of these influences combined to lead me to where I am, willing and able to give back to society,” Adams says on his Green Party web page. “Green politics seemed to be an appropriate choice. Democracy, ethical and effective government have long been a powerful and central theme of my thinking. I believe the Green Party has the most to offer in this province.”

Adventures in Hungary

Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

When David Fairbrother retired as pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Vernon, he never envisioned he would one day be teaching a Bible study class in a small town in Hungary. But when the opportunity arose for Fairbrother and his wife, Virginia, to travel to Tapolca, Hungary, the couple jumped at the chance. Over a plate of Hungarian treats — home-baked pagosca — and coffee, the Fairbrothers explained how they ended up leaving their Vernon home, their three grown children and five grandchildren for an adventure in Europe. “I’ve always been interested in cross-cultural experiences and I love working cross-culturally and when we saw this advertised on the church bulletin, it seemed ideal, especially as we were both retired,” said Virginia. The opportunity to spend six weeks in Hungary came about through Shawn Carlaw, a missionary from Enderby, and his Hungarian wife, Sondi, who are there under the auspices of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada Mission. “One of their chief goals is to start a church and we found out that they were looking for someone who could teach the Bible and someone who could teach English,” said David. “Part of it is it’s one of the countries controlled by Communism, so Christianity and anything religious was very much suppressed, and part of the desire is to revive an interest in Christianity.” It was a perfect fit for Virginia, who had recently retired after close to 20 years as an ESL teacher at Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society, and for David, who retired in 2006 due to health reasons that resulted in a 2007 liver transplant. “You don’t have one unless you have one foot in the grave,” he said. “Recovery was not easy and there were points when I thought I’d never live a normal life. People who know us thought we were crazy to be doing this. But in Hungary, this also gave me the opportunity to tell my transplant story,” he said. “I’m here because of our medical system, which I hold in high regard, plus our faith. I’m a living example of how these two things go hand in hand to help me survive. When you go through something like this, it’s a gift.” In Tapolca, Virginia taught children, teens and adults at

Virginia and David Fairbrother in front of Festhetics Palace in Kestheley, a city 45 minutes from Tapolca. English clubs Mondays to Thursdays, while David led an advanced English adult discussion group on Thursdays and taught Bible lessons three days a week. As well, they made four presentations about Canada at a local high school/trade school. “The people we had contact with were very interested, very engaged, very friendly and very helpful,” said Virginia. The couple taught classes from their apartment, a former pub, teaching three levels of English, beginner to advanced. “All of the Bible study classes I taught were in English. These were all university grads all professional,” said David. “All of them had worked all day and would still come to the Bible study at night. They place a high value on education. “We talked about the fact that while Hungary has a long

Christian tradition, it has fallen into apathy — not opposition, just disinterest. So there was the English side of things, and the Bible side of things. “And the 2008 financial crash really hit them hard so a lot of it is that they are looking for some purpose and direction in life, there is a certain searching for something. But we made it clear that we were not there to tell them how to live, we do not have all the answers.” Virginia also immersed herself in the culture by baking, both old favourites and Hungarian treats. “This was a very different type of trip than we’ve ever done before, living among the people, travelling on the bus, shopping for groceries,” she said. “When we first arrived, we were a novelty, by the end of six weeks, heads turned in recognition.” They had a warm reception from locals, in particular from students at the local high school/trade school, where they made a presentation to chefs-in-training. “They were very interested in the foods we produced in Canada, such as lobster, Pacific salmon and maple syrup and they knew quite a bit about Canada,” said Virginia. “For me, one of the big differences was that daily life is much busier because there are fewer conveniences, such as an automatic clothes dryer, so we got used to hanging laundry to dry from the chandelier.” For David and Virginia, who both grew up in the Fraser Valley, life in the North Okanagan continues to be a busy one. Since returning last month from Hungary, David is busy with the board of First Baptist Church in Armstrong, doing yard work and starting a Bible study, with plans to start golfing soon. Virginia has taken up her sewing and scrap booking projects and hopes to return as a volunteer tutor with the One-to-One Children’s Literacy Program. They love spending time with their grandchildren and will take the youngest of the five on what has become an annual grandparent-grandkid summer trip. The couple has not ruled out returning to Tapolca, where they say they have left a piece of their hearts. “We feel we made a difference in Hungary, and people begged us to stay longer,” said Virginia. “Maybe we’ll both celebrate our 70th birthdays there next year — we’ll see!”

Renovate for wellness

his winter I visited the new emergency facilities at VJH a couple of times and was impressed with the new space and the excellent care I received. Being in a shiny new area with great equipment and everything clean and bright was really appreciated. I have heard enthusiastic raves about maternity and other areas. The money required to complete the two other floors is a bit mind boggling if you Michele Blais look at beds gained. It will be state-of-the-art facilities to support the care and wellbeing of the patients who will seek help there. The amount of money needed for hospitals is phenomenal and is a bottomless pit. VJH, like any hospital in Canada, is always in need of money. One campaign I would like to get behind when their turn comes, which I hope is sooner than later, is the improvements needed to the psychiatric ward. This space is in real need of improvements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the rooms, washroom facilities, showers, patient rooms,

common areas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and seriously needs help. I was very sad when I saw this area as I would find it difficult to be a patient there. Think about what kind of space you would like to be in if you were severely depressed or had a mental illness that required a hospital stay. What kind of environment would you want to aid in your recovery? Private rooms, light colours, a few nice walk-in showers, a family room to visit with your loved ones, an outdoor space? They do have an outdoor space, which has great potential. This is not a reflection of the people working there, who do their best. This area is just not at the top of the list, and I am sure their day will come. I wonder if the lower priority in some ways reinforces the stigma of mental illness. Many local families have received services from this department and will continue to do so. Many would love to see improvements made and I am hopeful that when called upon will rally behind a campaign to improve this area of the hospital. This will in another way help to bring mental illness into the forefront. Mental illness is an illness like others. I look forward to the day where we can as families and a society be more open in our understanding and support. We can discuss our surgeries and various treatments with our friends and family but we rarely talk openly about our meds for our mental illness, our depression or therapies. More people are being open in their discussions of their own mental illness and this is welcome. If we are going to encourage people to seek help and support, we better make certain we are backing up that campaign with the services and supports needed. The way I see it, a newer psychiatric area would go a long way in supporting those with mental illness.

Q: A:

What does “Have your dog under control at all times” truly mean?

The definition of “having your dog under control at all times” is that there is no opportunity of them wandering into harm’s way. In the veterinary clinic we encourage owners to have their dog on a leash at all times. Some dogs fear coming into the clinic since this is the one stressful place in an otherwise blissful existence. We see the sign “have your dog under control” posted at dog parks, but do we really know what it means? If your friendly, exuberant dog charges into the personal space of a defensive, fearful dog, a nasty confrontation may quickly ensue, with the owner having no control of the situation. Also dogs that are running freely with the owners 50 ft away, or dogs on flexi leads walking their owner to wherever they please, are not “under the control of the owner”. Now, in saying the last statement, there certainly are dog owners who can recall their dog in an instance. Unfortunately just like us, there are dogs that are fearful in stressful situations. This fear could cause them to lash out, whereas in normal surroundings this behaviour would never occur. So please be aware and respectful in all public places where pets and people co-mingle.

Simon says a lot about relationships in Lovers Powerhouse closes its season with Neil Simon’s Last of the Red Hot Lovers

Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

If there is one playwright who has captured the idiosyncrasies of human relationships — warts and all— it has to be Neil Simon. The Bronx-born author of such gems as The Odd Couple, Goodbye Girl, Biloxi Blues, Lost in Yonkers, The Dinner Party... the list goes on and on, is a favourite for any director wanting to make the most out of Simon’s funny and dramatic dialogue. Vernon’s Monty Hughes is one of those directors. About to stage Simon’s Last of the Red Hot Lovers at Powerhouse Theatre, Hughes says Simon’s work is timeless, and it hits all the right buttons — humour, pathos, pain, sorrow — as it closely examines the often absurd behaviour of man and woman. “Simon spends an inordinate amount of time on each line, getting the moment just right,” said Hughes. “Although (Lovers) is funny, there’s something serious in nature about it. Simon’s humour is not malicious, but it’s cunning. There is always an ounce of truth in the humour.” A retired teacher with the Vernon school district, Hughes returns to Powerhouse after last helming the Irish penned play, The Loves of Cass McGuire, four seasons ago. He has since been travelling the province and beyond to direct community productions. He directed Leading Ladies at a theatre in Fairbanks, Alaska, and just worked on another Simon play, Lost in Yonkers, for Many Hats Theatre in Penticton in the fall. “When I did Lost in Yonkers, the third act

Barney Cashman (Colin Carney) gets more, or less, than he bargained for when he meets up with elaine (Patty Garrett) in neil simon’s Last of the Red Hot Lovers, opening at Powerhouse theatre Wednesday. is not exactly funny, and you could hear sobbing in the audience. You know you’ve done your job well if you are getting that kind of reaction,” he said. Hughes is hoping for the same kind of reaction with Last of the Red Hot Lovers. “This one takes its time to get to the sense of what Simon is telling us as human beings. I find that interesting. Act III also shows the serious part about human relations,” said Hughes. The play follows the travails of married

man Barney Cashman, the owner of a successful seafood restaurant who is stuck in the depths of a mid-life crisis. Not dissimilar to the female lead character’s dilemma in the last play Powerhouse staged, Becky’s New Car, this time it’s the male lead who finds his marriage is no longer providing him with a sense of romantic adventure. So when Barney discovers his mother’s apartment is empty one day a week, he decides that a series of extra-marital affairs is just what he needs.

Each of the three acts follows an encounter with a different woman — and, of course, being a Simon play, the ends don’t exactly justify the means. “The first woman (Elaine) is callous about relationships. Barney, naively, wants a relationship for the rest of his life, but she’s only in it for the afternoon,” said Hughes. Meanwhile, the second woman, Bobbi, has no idea what she is getting into and has some idiosyncrasies of her own. The third woman, Janette, is Barney’s best friend’s wife who finds out her husband is cheating and she wants to get even. “This is where Simon’s voice really comes in,” said Hughes. “Barney articulates in the third act what he’s really wanting: He wants a gentle, kind and decent person. He feels it and he realizes it can’t happen with sex alone. It’s about finding out what’s on the inside, and it takes him two hours to figure it out.” Carrying the load of the weight as Barney is actor Colin Carney, who played Bill Sykes in Powerhouse’s production of Oliver! in 2007, which also happened to be directed by Hughes, while Patty Garrett, Bev Steeves and Beverley Peacock play Elaine, Bobbi and Janette, respectively. Those who love Simon’s plays will notice how the dialogue between the characters builds, and you can also use your own imagination to read between the lines, said Hughes. “Simon doesn’t do shtick. His words are honest and quirky and his characters say really funny things. You don’t have to suspend your belief — it’s real people who are not always making the best decisions.” Last of the Red Hot Lovers stages at Powerhouse Theatre April 24 to May 4 at 8 p.m. with no shows on Mondays. A Sunday matinée takes place April 28 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the Ticket Seller, 250-549-7469, www. ticketseller.ca. The play contains adult situations and is not recommended for young children.

Symphony conjures kaleidoscopic images

Christine Pilgrim

César Franck’s Symphony in D Minor, met expectations. To facilitate that, at her highly recommended pre-concert talk, OSO conductor Rosemary Thomson shared her insights and enthusiasm, as well as her gift for clearly explaining the

mechanics of the music in the program. Her talks, often including a short singing lesson or an opportunity to clap or click a unique rhythm sequence, appreciably enhance the concert experience. Consequently, when she conducted Mercure’s Kaleidoscope, those who had attended her talk enjoyed an increased awareness of its blended colours, layers, rhythm

The world is poorer musically for the loss of Mercure, already an accomplished Canadian musician, composer and entrepreneur when he was killed in a car crash in 1966, aged 38. His adeptness at piano, organ, flute, cello, trumpet and bassoon, informed the way he wrote specifically for each orches-

tral section. Each section of the OSO, augmented by members of the Youth Symphony of the Okanagan, captured his constant changes of light and colour. (The YSO performs Dvorak’s New World Symphony at 7.30 p.m. May 4 at Trinity United Church.)

Enderby will soon get a chance to hear the lush romantic cello of Michael Kevin Jones as part of his 2013 North American tour. The Enderby and District Arts Council is presenting Jones’ only Okanagan performance, Tuesday at St. Andrew’s United Church, as part of Arts and Culture Week in B.C. “His entirely acoustic performance requires great concentration and skill, which, according to reviews, he has in spades,” said Diana Inselberg, with the arts council. “Don’t miss this opportunity to hear this outstanding musician.” A young British cellist, already highly regarded on the international music scene, Jones studied cello at the Royal College of Music in London, winning prizes for solo and chamber music playing. He was chosen to perform

for the British Royal family and later went on to study at the Kolner Hochschule thanks to a scholarship from the German government. Jones recorded the complete Bach cello suites in New York for the Metropolitan Museum of Art using a Stradivarius cello dating back to 1667. In Enderby, he will play selections from Bach’s suites for solo cello and also a newly re-discovered Rodrigo score, Como una Fantasia. After the great Spanish composer’s death in 1999, his solo cello music remained lost, unknown and unplayed in the country of its origin. Jones will be making the first commercial recording of this piece in 2014. Tuesday’s concert starts at Photo submitted 7:30 p.m. Refreshments will be British cellist Michael Kevin Jones peravailable. Admission is $15/ forms in St. Andrew’s United Church in adult, $10/youth 18 and under Enderby Tuesday. at the door.

Pianist gives aged Hamburg Steinway a workout Continued from B5

Rachmaninoff ’s Concerto in C Minor was played sublimely by Minsoo Sohn at the piano, despite its aged inability to hold its tune beyond the first movement. Jan Walden of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association, which owns

the instrument, agreed that it’s time to launch a fundraiser to replace it; or perhaps find a successful local business interested in sponsoring a new Steinway grand. But Sohn could coax euphony from a bashedup-bar-honky-tonk, and NOCCA’s piano isn’t that. The packed

audience sat enraptured throughout, even between movements. And as he played the final chords of this constantly flowing romantic journey through swelling crescendos, febrile races across the keys and delicate passages filled with pathos, the crowd rose as one. The OSO was with Sohn all the way too, and the retired Edmonton Symphony horn player sitting beside me said he had been unaware of an orchestra of this calibre in the Okanagan. It’s no wonder David Lean used this concerto in his 1945 film adaptation of Noel Coward’s heart-wrenching play, Brief Encounter, about a couple trapped in a passionate, forbidden love affair. Franck’s Symphony in D Minor has also graced film scores, most recently in Double Identity, starring Val Kilmner and Izabella Miko. Like Mercure, Franck was killed in a

road accident, although he was knocked down by a “horse omnibus” in 1890, aged 67. This was Thomson’s first time conducting Franck’s only symphony, composed the year before he died. My French horn player neighbour remarked that she completely understood Franck’s voice: “She found all the different lines and levels,” he said, “And she and the orchestra did an exceptional job.” Judging by the animated smiles on their faces, the audience obviously agreed. The OSO celebrates the end of the 2012/13 season May 19, with its version of the Last Night of the Proms, based on British tradition peppered with Canadian humour. It features soprano Dawn Mussellam, with the Queen (or someone quite like her) in attendance. Tickets for the OSO April 27 fund-raising tea at the Grand Hotel Kelowna are still available too.

Robinson biopic hits a double

n April 15, 1947 Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) was the first black player to join the major leagues when team executive Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) asked him to join the Brooklyn Dodgers. Having to combat the racism of the time, proving himself not only to be a great player, but strong enough to withstand attacks from nearly all sides, Robinson crossed the line from mere sport legend to earning a place in American culture and history. We say, “It’s good, not great.” HOWE: I said this last year when we reviewed The Iron Lady: How is it possible to fit someone’s life into a two-hour movie? With 42 they prove yet again it is not really achievable. There are huge sections of time that seem to be missed. For example, when Robinson finds out that his wife is one-month pregnant, the next min-

pointed out my problem with this film. What we have here is essentially the same thing happening over and over again. After Jackie becomes a Dodger, he travels with the team, putting up with racism and turning the other cheek (to steal a base) in one town after the next. He has to deal with it even from within his own organization, but this dissipates more quickly than, for example, it

High school exhibition opens Following a hugely successful exhibition by students from nine Vernon area elementary schools, the big kids get the chance to showcase their talents at the Vernon Public Art Gallery starting Thursday. Art and Soul is an annual exhibition of artwork by students in Grades 8 to 12 from the Vernon School District. The VPAG has hosted this event for many years, and invites all high schools in the Greater Vernon area to submit artwork for display. “It’s an opportunity for young artists to take part in a group exhibition in a professional gallery setting, often for the first time,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, VPAG executive director. Time spent in art class in high

school is where students begin to develop their own artistic styles and preferences of mediums and subject matters. It is at this time when students decide if they wish to pursue visual arts as an elective later in high school and then into post-secondary art institutions. Submissions vary greatly and include illustration, painting, sculpture, and multi-media, and some of the work is used towards scholarship and university applications. Art and Soul opens with a reception Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The work will be shown in the three exhibition spaces adjacent to the VPAG’s main gallery, which is currently housing Richard Suarez’s quantamspaces. Both exhibitions continue to May 23.

does with southern teams. While all of this is true and in keeping with the drama of the story, it becomes a bit dull after awhile. HOWE: Yeah I get what you’re saying, but there was one bright spark in the movie, Harrison Ford. I found this to be his best performance to date. Maybe that’s because he’s playing someone his own age rather than running around like a teenager with a whip, chasing

artifacts and reciting cheesy one liners. TAYLOR: I did quite enjoy Ford’s performance as Branch Rickey, the man with the plan. I like it when an actor is able to disappear inside a character and I feel Ford succeeds in 42. He changed his look, his voice, his mannerisms. I don’t know if he was portraying the real Branch Rickey to any degree of accuracy, but he was the most interesting he’s been in a long time. I suspect this might even be an opportunity to consider his supporting performance for an Oscar, but it’s still early days. At any rate, as the story behind Jackie’s tribulations was what interested me most about this film, having a strong performance by Ford could only help. It’s certainly not that the other performers we’re exactly lacking and the same could be said for the film itself, it’s just that 42 doesn’t break any new ground. HOWE: 42 is a fine movie and you don’t have to be a fan of baseball to understand what is going on. Just don’t

IAN JOHNSTONE

Caffeine is a natural bronchodilator and opens up the airways to relieve wheezing. People with asthma or other lung conditions who are going for a test of their lung function should probably not drink coffee or cola drinks before the test to get an accurate picture of how their lungs are working. It used to be thought that taking extra B vitamins helped reduce stress. Our body needs some of these vitamins to help release energy from foods but we get the amount needed from our diet. B vitamins are water-soluble and taking “megadoses” will just wash out in the urine. The sunnier times of the year are coming and it’s a good time to remind everyone about protecting their eyes from excessive sunlight exposure. Wearing a good pair of sunglasses will help reduce light reaching the retina of the eye. This can lower the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. If you are taking a drug to lower your cholesterol (the generic drug name usually ends in “-statin”), take it in the evening. Our liver is responsible for making cholesterol and usually takes a rest from this job when we eat. However, in the evening and nighttime, when we don’t eat, the liver starts manufacturing cholesterol again. So it’s best to take your statin in the evening.

Choir leader shares Moments Morning Star Staff

She’s been at the helm of Greater Vernon’s largest choir, waving her baton with that infectious smile for the past 16 years. And now, Molly Boyd is taking a step back from the podium from her le adership role with the Vernon Community Singers. Although she will continue to sing with the group, Boyd Molly Boyd conducts her last concert with the Singers at its upcoming spring concert, Friday and Saturday. Aptly titled Moments to Remember, the concert will be a nostalgic look back over the years, as the choir celebrates its 20th anniversary. “The program will include many favourites and, of course, some shenanigans,” said Boyd. Joining the choir as a special guest will be the Singers’ founder and original leader Paul Hunter, who will sing with his barbershop quartet, Some Other Time. Also performing will be Ancora, a women’s ensemble directed by Terry Logan, who will be taking over for Boyd as the new leader of the Vernon Community Singers in September. “It is a really nice transition from Paul to me and to Terry,” said Boyd. “Terry brings a wealth of knowledge and talent, and it will be fun singing

with her.” A fixture on both the Vernon and Whistler choral scene for many years, Boyd’s first experience directing choirs was with All Saints Anglican Church’s Junior Choir. She also directed the Whistler Singers and the Whistler Children’s Chorus before coming back to Vernon to take over the Singers in 1997. Since then, the group has grown to more than 100 members and is nonauditioned. “Everyone who wishes to sing can join,” said Boyd, adding the choir has also provided money from its concerts to a number of musical and youth projects in the form of scholarships and donations over the years. “This past year, over $6,000 was donated throughout the community,” she said. “Many of these points attracted Terry’s decision to take over the choir. She likes the philosophy and the spirit and enthusiasm the group has.” Besides performing with the Singers, Boyd also plans to continue to play piano in Vernon’s Chilly Creakers, with her husband Sandy, as well as in Songs of the War Years, with singer Sally Evans. She also shares choir and organ duties at All Saints Anglican Church with her longtime friend and “partner in music” Marjorie Close, who will accompany the Vernon Community Singers in their spring concert. Moments to Remember is at Trinity United Church Friday, April 26 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, April 27 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 available from the Schubert Centre and from choir members.

Duo hits the road to Caravan Morning Star Staff

Caravan Farm Theatre is about to open its gates again, this time to present Juno nominated musician Peter Katz and Emma-Lee live in concert Thursday. The show, to take place at Caravan’s intimate “Cookshack,” kicks off a busy season at the farm, including its upcoming farmers’ markets and the summer theatre production, Head Over Heels, written by Peter Anderson. A 2012 Juno and Emerging Artist of the Year nominee at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, plus winner of the CBC Galaxie Rising Star award, recording artist Katz captivates listeners with his unique brand of contemporary folk music. Playing 150-plus dates a year all over the world, Katz’s remarkable grassroots efforts have resulted in him selling more than 15,000 copies of his discs and sharing the stage with such notable artists as The Swell Season, Joel Plaskett, Bahamas, Lucky Flonz III, Dan Mangan, The Good Lovelies, and the legendary Garth Hudson from The Band. University of Calgary student newspaper The Gauntlet said Katz shows “true musical brilliance.” Joining Katz is EmmaLee, an acoustic guitarist, singer-songwriter who has opened up for the likes of Chris Isaak and Whitehorse, and has performed with fellow guitarist Jesse Cook as well

Business Briefs $1M investment Accelerates Okanagan

The Accelerate Okanagan Technology Association has received a big boost in the form of $1 million government investment through the B.C. Innovation Council (BCIC). The funding, over a 30-month period, will provide new and early-stage technology companies throughout the Okanagan with continued access to the venture acceleration program, a key offering by partners of the BCIC Acceleration Network. The network is a province-wide alliance of regional partners collaborating to deliver a structured program to technology entrepreneurs. “This funding will be used to deliver the VAP to high-growth technology companies across the Okanagan, accelerating the commercialization of technology and spurring the rapid growth of new ventures,” said Jeff Keen, Accelerate Okanagan CEO. “For tech entrepreneurs, getting to a point of sustained profitability is extremely difficult. Our programs have been developed to support technology entrepreneurs through the early stages of business development, reduce their risk and guide them through the challenges of growing a sustainable business.”

Prospera Credit Union has been recognized as one of B.C.’s Top Employers for 2013. Now in its eighth year, the provincial competition is organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, and recognizes B.C. companies that have led their industries in attracting and retaining quality employees. “Offering our 435 employees a great place to come to work every day where they have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others and their community is a key part of how we do business,” said Bruce Howell, Prospera CEO. “To be recognized as a Top Employer for being true to our core values is a humbling experience for us.” Employer selection is based on performance in several areas, including physical workplace, work and social atmosphere, vacation and time off, employee communications, training and skills development, and employer benefits.

Armstrong plant stays on budget

Armstrong’s cogeneration plant was among the recipients at Tolko Industries’ annual Awards for Excellence. The Armstrong plant earned the award for Performance Closest to Budget. Tolko has a growing green energy profile with eight biomass energy facilities that contribute to the onsite production of wood products. Armstrong is one of two cogeneration assets that also sell power. The plant is EcoLogo certified, the Canadian national standard for green energy. The power is sold to B.C. Hydro under an agreement that supports the province’s commitment to increase clean, green power. All the power sold is generated from renewable wood biomass, primarily bark from sawmill operations.

Susan Hamilton, owner of Parnell’s tV & appliance, is celebrating the company’s grand opening at its new location on 27th Street.

Parnell’s in new hands Graeme Corbett Business Editor

Formerly a longtime customer of Parnell’s TV & Appliance, Susan Hamilton is now the owner. Hamilton took over the business last November from company founder Tim Parnell, and she plans to adopt the same customer-first approach that has helped the business succeed for 25 years. “Tim has built a fabulous business and his values were important to me,” — Susan said Hamilton, noting Parnell has stayed on to help with the transition. “We’re really focussed on the customer service – before the sale, after, and until the next purchase. “When the opportunity arrived and the business came up, having been a customer in

the store for 20 years, and having felt welcomed by the staff as a customer, it was really a great fit to come in as new ownership.” Formerly located at the Shops at Polson Park, Parnell’s moved earlier this year to its current location on 27th Street (in the old Blockbuster building). To celebrate they are hosting a grand opening, including manufacturer deals and other events, until the end of the month. “We’re excited about our new Hamilton location. It’s great exposure for us,” said Hamilton. “It wasn’t something we had planned to do, but situations arose and we’re very fortunate this space was available and fit our needs very well.” With a background in accounting, Hamilton has a good handle on the business

“We’re excited about our new location.”

end of things, but she admits there is plenty to learn about the product. Whether it’s a double oven capable of cooking two 27-pound turkeys simultaneously, an increasing demand for affordable stainless steel appliances, or the latest in top-loading washing machines (yes, the market is trending back from front loaders), Hamilton said there is no end to what she has to know about the product inside Parnell’s 4,500 squarefoot building. It makes her all the more grateful for the four experienced full-time staff members she has at the store. “I’m starting to learn that there’s a lot more to learn about these products than just using them in my kitchen,” laughed Hamilton. “I appreciate the staff and their years of experience and what they offer the customer.”

The Red Bird Acupuncture Clinic is taking flight at Vernon’s Alpine Centre. Owned and operated by Vernon’s Jenna Roze, the business opened last month and is already attracting a clientele. Roze, who studied at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, uses a mixture of five elements and Japanese-style acupuncture. She says the five elements approach is used to address mental/emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety. “A lot of people come for chronic pain and injuries, digestive issues, headaches, women’s disorders,” said Roze, 25. “Chinese medicine is a complete system of medicine. It is used to affect almost any illness.” Japanese acupuncture uses minimal stimulation for maximum results. It also uses more moxa (an Asian herb) to increase circulation. “It’s all about proficiency,” said Roze. “By using abdominal palpation, I can detect the certain blockages in the body, and after using specific acupuncture points to open up the flow, the patient will immediately feel the change in the abdomen.”

The cost of kids

ow, kids are expensive to grow! According to moneysense.ca, it costs approximately $243,660 to raise a child until they graduate from high school. That’s not even including the cost of university. I have a couple of my own kids so I know how financially draining they can be. Just remember the cost does go down somewhat when they start school and you no longer have day care costs, diapers, baby gear and such to pay for. Of course, that is probably offset by larger appetites, more expensive clothes and activities. I have some clients that have young children and they are feeling the squeeze in their monthly budget. Kathi Bridge Here are some tips on how to save money with your kids. n When they are very young, try to get a lot of the big items from friends and family – items like strollers, gates, and high chairs. You need to make sure they are still safe, of course. You can check online for a recall on the product. The crib and car seat are best bought new – by the time the previous owner got out of them, they are too old. n Buying second hand for clothes and sports equipment will save you a lot of money in the long run. Check out second hand stores like the Salvation Army, garage sales and community events (there is a kids garage sale at the Vernon Recreation Centre which is a great place to buy and sell). Kids grow out of pants, skates and everything else so quickly you can find some good prices on gently used items. n One way to save money and stress is to not enroll your child in every extra-curricular activity you can think of. Not only is it expensive to put your child in music, swimming, dance, baseball, hockey and soccer, you will be far too rushed every night to get your kids to their events. You really do start to feel like a taxi driver for your children. n Pick one thing at a time for the kids to do. That’s plenty and they will be happier too. My older son took guitar lessons for several years, and then switched to cross fit. My younger daughter goes to gymnastics once a week. That’s it.

Guest Column

n To save money on diapers, wipes and things you need for a younger child, scan the flyers in the newspaper weekly to see what is on sale. When you see a bargain, stock up and it can be a real savings. However, sometimes that can bite you. I bought three boxes of pull-ups at an incredible price, and then of course my daughter stopped using them at night about a month later. Someone will be getting a great deal on these at my next garage sale. Speaking of garage sales, they are a great way to make some extra money to use towards your kids and reduce clutter in your house.

China’s largest bank backing proposed oil refinery tom fletcher Black Press

The Industrial and Commercial Bank

of China, the country’s largest bank, has agreed to take part in financing a large-scale

oil refinery proposed for Kitimat. Kitimat Clean, a company owned

by Morning Star owner David Black, announced the signing of a memoran-

dum of understanding Thursday. The agreement commits the bank to

“be the Chinese financial advisor to Kitimat Clean and co-operate in the financing of

the proposed Kitimat refinery and associated pipelines and other elements,” Black said in a statement. “Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery,” Black said. “Up to 100 per cent of the output from the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, including China and India.” He added that majority control of the businesses will remain in Canada. Liu Yanping, deputy head of corporate banking, and Huang Jifa, deputy head of investment banking at the Chinese bank, said in the statement: “We are very pleased to be working toward a comprehensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada, which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the future.” Black released a Mustel Group poll in February that found three out of four B.C. residents support the idea to refine crude oil in Kitimat rather than export the raw product, diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands, by tanker. The same poll found that 57 per cent respondents opposed the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. Black has suggested his project may grow to include an alternative pipeline proposal, or oil shipped by the CN Rail line that already connects the Edmonton area with the North Coast.

More people than ever are doing what’s right for the environment. That’s why over 666,000 kg of milk containers were recycled at Return-It™ Depots in 2012. And it’s easy to make the right choice a part of your routine; just bring them in along with your bottles and cans.

For more information and to find a Return-It™ Depot near you, call 1-800-330-9767 or visit return-it.ca/milk Zero deposit paid = zero deposit refunded. David Black

Tax News

Frank and Ernest

from Dean Chapple at H&R Block April 30th is just around the corner. If you are self-employed or commission sales etc. with lots of receipts it is time to either sort them yourself into categories or make sure your tax specialist has them to sort for you so that your return can be completed in time.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

A THIRD OVERCALL CHANGES ITS MEANING Corrie ten Boom, whose book “The Hiding Place” chronicles her efforts to save Dutch Jews from the Nazis, said, “When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.” At the bridge table, though, sometimes you must jump and trust the theoreticians. Today we will look at the third bid that changes its meaning in the balancing position. If the dealer opens one of a suit and the next player makes a single jump overcall in a different suit, it is weak. However, if the opening bid is followed by

two passes, a single jump overcall in the pass-out seat is intermediate, promising a good six-card suit and 14 to 16 high-card points. South’s two-spade jump overcall in this deal is textbook. After North raises to four spades, West leads the spade king, cashes the spade ace, and exits with a heart to dummy’s king. How should South continue? At first glance, declarer needs one of the two diamond finesses to work. But the contract is guaranteed with an elimination and endplay. South plays a club to his ace, overtakes the club jack with dummy’s king, ruffs the last club in his hand, and returns to the board with a heart.

With trumps drawn and both red suits eliminated, declarer plays a diamond to his 10. West wins with the jack but is endplayed. If he returns a diamond, it is away from the king into South’s ace-queen. Or if West leads a heart, declarer ruffs on the board and sluffs his diamond queen.

Although, technically, self employed persons have until June 15th to file, any taxes owing must be paid by April 30th to avoid interest, so it makes sense to file the return by this deadline. If you are using a bookkeeper, then all postings should be up to date by now with your financial statements ready for tax preparation. Remember that debit receipts cannot be used alone, you must have the invoice or till receipt showing what was purchased. Receipts including any personal items on them need to be highlighted and the personal items removed. Come in and see our tax specialists for speedy, accurate service. They will advise you of any other deductions you may qualify for and/or if it is time to think about incorporating?
