Vernon-Monashee Liberal candidate Eric Foster (right) answers an audience member’s question while Conservative candidate Scott Anderson ponders the response during an all-candidate’s forum Monday night at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre.

Partnerships put candidates at odds Eric Foster thinks private-public partnerships work well. Mark Olsen is fundamentally opposed to them. The two candidates gave different points of view to an audience question at a Vernon-Monashee riding all-candidates forum Monday night, hosted by the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Society. Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton directly asked NDP candidate Olsen about his thoughts on P3 partnerships, which is a deal between governments and one or more private companies, and moving forward with them in the province. “I’m fundamentally opposed and the rationale is, from what I’ve seen, is we have 30-year contracts with health authorities for a hospital that we can’t see what the details (of the contracts) are,” said Olsen, though he did concede that the new Monashee Mews senior care facility in Lumby, built through a P3 deal, “is very good.” “There is then an obligation placed on taxpayers for 30 years to pay that company for running hospitals as they are contractors of government.”

Foster, the incumbent Liberal nominee for the riding, challenged Olsen’s answer. “Public-private partnerships moved us forward in the construction of building hospitals and Monashee Mews in Lumby,” said Foster. “Those projects are delivered on time and on budget because those contracts are worked out in the finest detail before they are signed.” Going along with Foster was Conservative Party candidate Scott Anderson. “I can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree with Eric,” said Anderson. “P3s make sense.” Rounding out the quartet in the debate was independent Korry Zepik. Green Party candidate Rebecca Helps did not participate. Close to 150 people attended the forum, which lasted two-and-a-half hours with a 20-minute intermission. Written and audience questions were directed to a specific candidate, and each candidate had three chances to challenge or respond to a question during both halves of the forum. One of the recurring themes was the environment. Foster was asked if he would be willing to go to a referendum on the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline, so all British Columbians could have a say.

After Foster begrudingly said yes (“governments are elected to govern and sometimes have to make tough choices based on the best information we have,” said Foster. “We can’t go to referendum on every contentious issue.”), Zepik – whose platform is based primarily on climate change – quickly held up his challenge card. “These pipelines, if they go through, may not be the last nail in the (Liberals’) coffin, but it will be the last nail needed,” said Zepik. “If you choose the pipelines, you turn your back on our childrens’ lives, and give them a more miserable life. We need to think long and hard about that.” Olsen was asked if his party would join five other provinces and consider a ban on cosmetic pesticides. “We would implement a ban on cosmetic pesticides,” said Olsen. “We don’t want our kids playing on fields and getting sick.” Anderson was questioned about legalizing cannabis. “It’s easier for the kid across the street to buy a joint than buy a beer, so clearly what we’re doing is not working,” said Anderson. “It’s not quite as simple as legalizing marijuana. Something has to happen but

there are a lot of questions that go with this kind of thing.” Anderson was asked by an audience member about concerns over vote splitting. He claims one poll that he is aware of has the Conservatives in second place in the riding. “As we get closer to the election, our chances in this riding are rising and we know that,” said Anderson. “Those holding your noses about voting Liberal the past few elections, never mind because we’re ahead of the Liberals in this riding.” The only question directly given to Zepik was about how he would improve being able to trust a politician and get more people interested in the election. “We need to get more people voting,” said Zepik. “We can start with a need to cut back MP and MLA raises so there isn’t so much wallet motivation as there is interest in doing some good. “We need electoral reform. It’s important to get people motivated.” Candidates faced a total of 30 questions from the audience. There is another all-candidates forum tonight in Lumby at the White Valley Community Centre starting at 6 p.m.

Pair sought in Mac’s robbery

Teen burned in shed fire

Morning Star Staff

roger knox Morning Star Staff

Like a good neighbour, Dustin Webber was there. Webber was doing some work in his backyard Saturday at around 12:30 p.m. when he heard screams from his neighbour’s teenaged son. “The kid was screaming ‘Oh my God, oh my God,’ and I looked up and saw the smoke,” said Webber. His neighbour’s shed was on fire. Webber hopped over the fence separating the homes and ran over to the house in the 2700 block of 41st Avenue where the boy’s mom was on her deck with a hose, trying to put out the shed fire. Webber said it was not going to help as the shed was fully engulfed in flames. “The siding was dripping off the shed and stuff was exploding inside the shed,” said Webber. “I was trying to get the woman and her son out of the house.” Vernon Fire Rescue Services had been called and arrived on the scene quickly to put out the fire.

Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star

Fire crews put out a fully engulfed shed fire in the 2700 block of 41st Avenue Saturday around 12:30 p.m. The boy received burns to his legs after trying to put out the fire.

Two houses next to the shed had some damage done to their siding. Webber’s home was not

damaged. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Parents warned of disturbing male Morning Star Staff

Police are encouraging parents to speak to their children after a report of a man allegedly exposing himself near a Vernon school. A parent reported that her children came home from school Friday, around 3 p.m., and the kids told the parent that they saw a man exposing himself in his car at the corner of 25th Street and 41st Avenue near Harwood School. “Her two daughters were walking home with friends from Harwood Elementary when they saw a man sitting in a vehicle parked on 41st Avenue,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “When the girls came up to the vehicle, they noticed that the man had his pants down and appeared to be masturbating.” The young girls screamed and took off

home. The suspect left the area quickly. The suspect is described as; a Caucasian man in his early 20s, approximately fivefoot-11 with a thinner build. He has dark brown hair, shorter on the side, longer on top and possibly gelled. It appeared his lip is pierced as well as his left ear pierced on the top. The suspect also appeared to have a black tattoo on the inside of his right wrist. He was wearing a red T-shirt with a black, white and blue vine-like design on the front at the time the girls saw him. The vehicle is described as a newer-model four-door sedan, silver-grey in colour with a black leather interior, and what was described as a large tail fin. There was an “N” magnet in the middle of the trunk for a new driver. It had fancy chrome rims with red markings in the

centre. The school was notified of this incident. “The police are asking parents to speak with their children about all safety issues they could encounter in their neighborhoods, so they will know what to do if they see suspicious activity happen,” said Molendyk. “Parents, if you walk your children to school or playgrounds; be observant to any suspicious activity in and around the neighborhood. If possible record the plate number and vehicle description. “If your children walk to schools or playgrounds on their own, have them walk in groups and if they encounter something strange or makes them feel afraid, have them go home and report it to the police.” The RCMP are continuing to investigate this file and are working closely with the Vernon School District.

Suspects are being sought after a robbery at a Vernon business. At about 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, the RCMP received a report of a robbery at the Mac’s store on 27th Street. “The night shift employee was in the back room when she heard the door open. When she came to the front of the store, she noticed two men bending down,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “One approached the till area and the second went back between one of the aisles. As she walked to the till, she noticed a hammer in the one man’s right hand near his belt area.” The suspect ordered her to the ground, but then told her to open the safe. The clerk told him she was unable to open it. The suspect then demanded the money in the cash register. “The clerk then took the money from the till and set it on the counter,” said Molendyk. The two suspects left the store with an undisclosed amount of cash. Both suspects are Caucasian males of medium build and about five-foot-10 to six-feet in height. They are believed to be in their mid to late 20s and they both wore dark balaclavas. One of the suspects was wearing white runners. “Our police service dog unit attended and a short track went from the front door, west on sidewalk, to the alley where it is suspected they got into a vehicle,” said Molendyk. “There is some indication there may have been a woman involved as well. The police are working to see if there is video surveillance that will assist them in their investigation.” Anyone with any information on this crime is asked to call the Vernon RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Keeping his calm after being robbed at knifepoint, an Enderby gas station attendant helped play a role in catching the alleged suspect. Just after 8 p.m. Sunday, a lone man entered the Shell Gas Bar in the 700 block of George Street, approached the counter and asked the clerk for a package of cigarettes. “When the clerk opened the cash register, the man brandished a large knife and demanded money,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. As the clerk ran to the back of the store, the suspect grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and left the premises. After he had gone, the clerk followed him outside the store and saw the man get into the pas-

senger side of a black Dodge pickup. The clerk called RCMP and gave police a description of the suspect plus the licence plate number of the vehicle. “Officers followed up on the plate and located the owner of the vehicle, who said he had loaned the truck to a friend,” said Molendyk. The friend was located at a home in Enderby, as was a man matching the description of the suspect. He was quietly arrested and taken into custody. Police recovered what they believe is the knife used by the suspect in the back of the pickup. A 33-year-old man from Sexsmith, Alta. was to appear in Salmon Arm Provincial Court Monday to face a charge of armed robbery in connection with the incident.

Molotov cocktail thrown at car roger knox Morning Star Staff

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP are investigating two fires in Coldstream Sunday morning – one involving a Molotov cocktail – to see if there’s any connection between the two incidents. Police were called shortly before 6 a.m. Sunday to an area near Cunliffe Road and Lochhaven Drive after a 2005 Volvo stationwagon suffered damage from what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail. “Our officer attended and confirmed a glass bottle with the lingering odour of gasoline was found,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “It had been thrown against the Volvo’s windshield on the driver’s side.” Police believe the bottle was likely thrown from a moving vehicle.

The Volvo suffered smoke and fire damage to the mouldings of both doors on the driver’s side. The owner told police she parked the car on Cunliffe to take her dogs for a walk in an adjacent orchard. While on the walk, the woman noticed a lone tree and irrigation pipe had been set on fire and were still smouldering. “It’s unknown at this time if the fires are related,” said Molendyk Monday morning. “The matter is still being investigated.” Anybody who may have seen anything suspicious in that area Sunday morning is asked to call the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Residents rally behind legion Morning Star Staff

The entire community is being urged to rally behind Vernon’s Royal Canadian Legion. The branch will hold a Save the Vernon Legion fundraiser Sunday to partially address financial issues facing the organization. “Admission is by donation and all of the money raised will be going into the Save the Legion fundraiser,” said Laura Gibson, first vice-president. Sunday’s activities will begin with a pancake breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m. “Then from 11 a.m. onwards, we will have live bands for your enjoyment pleasure along with a silent auction and a live auction starting at 4 p.m.,” said Gibson. “This event is an open house so the public can come and enjoy some beverages along with a barbecue starting at 11 a.m.” The branch is completely reliant on revenue generated in the lounge to cover day-to-day operations, such as utility bills, rent and wages. However, fewer people are walking through the doors these days and that has negatively impacted the bottom line. Through the 2012 poppy campaign, the branch raised $32,435 to assist veterans and their families. And gaming activities at the legion, such as the meat draw, raised more than $31,050 for community charities. Gibsons says the goal is to keep the legion open so it can continue to play an active role in supporting the community. The loss of the legion could also mean fewer resources to organize the Remembrance Day ceremony Nov. 11. The Vernon Royal Canadian Legion is located at 4609 29th St. “We would love to see a lot of the public come out and see what the legion is all about,” said Gibson. For more information, call 250-545-3295.

Cheeky statement sparks debate richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The NDP claims a public statement was tongue-in-cheek but others suggest it indicates positive campaigning has been abandoned. On Sunday, the NDP provincial campaign issued its top 12 list of Liberal candidates “whose past and present behaviour should not disqualify them from being on the ballot.” “Not calling for your opponents’ resignations to distract from your own record. That’s change for the better,” it states. However, the list upsets Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee Liberal candidate, who believed the NDP wasn’t running attack ads. “This is their idea of a positive campaign, is it?” said Foster who is number two on the list. “Their true colours are coming

“It was tongue and cheek and they are trying to point out that people make mistakes,” said Mark Olsen, Vernon-Monashee NDP candidate. “We can’t keep calling for resignations every time someone makes a mistake.” Olsen says the campaign should be focused on issues and not the actions of individuals. That view is also supported by Steve Gunner, the NDP’s Shuswap candidate. “This reality check was a light-hearted attempt to poke a bit of fun at the unreasonableness of the B.C. Liberals’ attempt to force the resignation of a B.C. NDP candidate over the way her name was printed on a lawn sign,” he said. “The record of the candidates featured in the statement are well-known and were widely reported. And each candidate has to run on his or her own record.”

They act like they are taking the high road but they are taking the low road.” In reference to Foster, the NDP statement says, “He was forced to pay back $67,000 after the auditor general criticized him for questionable office renovations, and then led the charge to fire the auditor general. But we are not calling for his resignation.” Foster says he’s been cleared of alleged wrongdoing by the conflict of interest commissioner. “Ask them about the $200 they have taken from each (NDP MLA) constituency fund to pay for an ethnic outreach person. It was totally political,” he said. The NDP insists the release was an attempt to show the Liberals, who have been highly critical of some NDP candidates, that similar situations can be found in all parties.

“There was some misunderstanding with respect to the regulations that were in place, with DFO and what their regulations were. It was also the same time the new riparian area regulation came out from the provincial government,” he said. “There was a lot of confusion around that. Unfortunately, some decisions were made that were not in line with the riparian area regulation, and some logging occurred in areas that were deemed to be sensitive fish habitat.” Kyllo says $300,000 has since been spent on

restoring the damaged area, and that it continues to be monitored. Simply chalking it up to a mistake, however, isn’t enough for Shuswap Environmental Action Society president Jim Cooperman, who views the past infraction as a hit to both Kyllo’s credibility, as well as the Liberals. “I think it’s appalling that the B.C. Liberal Party would allow a candidate to run with a track record like Mr. Kyllo’s, that involved a blatant disregard of federal laws and resulted in severe damage to fish habitat,” said Cooperman.

New candidate added to ballot richard rolke Morning Star

Shuswap residents have a fifth name to consider on the ballot during the provincial election. Vernon resident Johanna Zalcik, with the Advocational International Democratic Party, says she decided to let her name stand because she is interested in the area she lives in. According to Zalcik, health Johanna Zalcik care must be a priority for anyone seeking election. “A major issue for me is care for the elderly. We need more homes,” she said. “The elderly are waiting too long to get into

long-term care.” Zalcik is also focused on education. “We need to teach financial literacy and functionality in our schools,” she said. When asked about the AID’s goals, Zalcik provided a one-page document. The document states, “We wish to reformulate standards for a new generation of young people by defining new educational metrics.” This includes a 5.5-day school week, an emphasis on financial literacy, active trading instruction utilizing simulated real-time trading platforms throughout brokerage houses, business and business ethics, sustainable agriculture and resource management. Zalcik moved from Edmonton to Vernon in 1989, and she worked at a department store before retiring.

At just 10-years-old Jabob Brayshaw is making great strides towards a cause close to his heart. The Beairsto Elementary student has raised nearly $2,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Canada as he prepares to take part in the Safeway Walk for Muscular Dystrophy Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. at the linear park on 25th Avenue (from 34th to 41st street). Jacob has muscular dystrophy, as does his mom, so he knows first-hand the toll the neuromuscular disease can have on an individual’s ability to do some of the simple tasks we sometimes take for granted. Despite the obstacles, mom Michelle says: “We adapt.” But like her son, many suffering from muscular dystrophy need essential mobility equipment which Muscular Dystrophy Canada helps purchase. Therefore the funds he has raised, and those raised at Saturday’s event, will help more individuals as well as fund education and leading research. Along with raising funds, Jacob is doing his part to educate others on both the cause and Saturday’s walk. “I did a presentation with my friend on the PA system at school,” smiles Jacob proudly. And, of course, he will be walking and wheeling in the event, which offers one, three or five-kilometre options. The celebration includes activities for kids, a free barbecue lunch, and fundraising prizes. Registration for the walk gets underway at noon. Organizer Reg Bardsley urges

“That chair has granted me a new outlook on my life by allowing me the freedom and independence to wheel around town on my own to shop for groceries, go out for a visit and, of course, for fundraising.” Canadian firefighters, including Vernon Fire Rescue, are champions in supporting MDC.

Muddling the message

drian Dix rolled into Vernon April 24, beaming with optimism and preaching a positive attitude. After being targeted by Liberal attack ads, he told about 200 people at the Schubert Centre that slamming individuals doesn’t serve a purpose, “even if we disagree with them politically.” It’s been his message long before the election campaign actually began. “We should have a good discussion of the issues and not be personal. I want to see a change in politics. Take out the personal attacks,” he said in an article written by the Province’s Michael Smyth Jan. 23. “You can be critical — and that might be seen as negative by some people — but don’t be personal.” So it was with great Richard Rolke surprise that the NDP’s provincial election team issued a press release Sunday entitled, B.C. NDP calls on B.C. Liberal candidates to not step down. “Today, the B.C. NDP revealed its Top 12 list of B.C. Liberal candidates whose past and present behaviour should not disqualify them from being on the ballot as a B.C. Liberal candidate. Here they are,” states the release. Number two is Vernon-Monashee’s Eric Foster. The release goes on to say, “He was forced to pay back $67,000 after the auditor general criticized him for questionable office renovations, and then led the charge to fire the auditor general. But we are not calling for his resignation.” Emphasizing the word “not” may be the NDP’s attempt at humour but it’s more biting than it is funny. Nowhere in the release does it mention that Foster’s renovation expenditures were initially approved by the legislative bureau-

cracy that oversees how MLAs spend money or that Foster has been cleared of conflict of interest. Some of the top 12 candidates are identified because of their roles as government cabinet ministers. But others are named for items unrelated to elected office, whether it is pleading guilty to driving without due care and attention, providing money to people to buy illegal drugs or apologizing for comments about homosexuals. The release wraps up by saying, “The B.C. NDP is running a positive campaign, so we won’t be calling for the resignations of any of these B.C. Liberal candidates. Not calling for your opponents’ resignations to distract from your own record; that’s change for the better.” Now there may be something to these items raised about Liberal candidates. In some cases, concerns should be raised about actions taken or decisions made. How they handled these situations should possibly give residents a reason to reflect on how they vote. But the NDP’s press release counters Dix’s comments in Vernon that constant negativity between politicians led to poor voter turnout in the last election. The party insists the release was tonguein-cheek to demonstrate to the Liberals, who have slammed NDP candidates for a variety of apparent misdeeds, that such occurrences can be found on all sides. “We can’t keep calling for resignations every time someone makes a mistake,” said Mark Olsen, who is running in VernonMonashee for the NDP. True enough, but sarcasm doesn’t translate every well. All the NDP release likely did was confuse voters and leave some wondering if all of this talk about “Change for the better” is actually a diversion for politics as usual. The message has been muddled.

At least the NDP are being honest about how they’re going to mess up B.C.’s economy. The Liberals and leader Christy Clark have indulged in exaggeration in spraying their spin. For instance, Clark is mocking Adrian Dix as the $3 billion man – based on what she claims is the sum of the NDP leader’s campaign promises. CBC News researched Clark’s claim and determined her math is faulty. Dix didn’t inspire confidence with his response, though, stating the NDP is promising “only” $2 billion in extra spending over three years. That still fuels a concern the NDP will increase the province’s already-sizeable debt. Further casting doubt about its ability to manage an economy, the NDP oppose virtually any resource project to generate revenue to pay for increased spending. The Liberals’ “balanced” budget is a daring bluff in which the party hopes British Columbians don’t see it for the pie-in-the-sky document it is. Clark twists the truth when she claims she’s already balanced the budget and when she insists at least one credit rating agency agrees with that. Still, British Columbians have alternatives, don’t we? The B.C. Conservatives has sacked four candidates, sparking memories of its Keystone Cops convention last year highlighted by a revolt against leader John Cummins. The candidate firings raise doubts about the party’s ability to govern this province. As for the Greens, pundit Vaughn Palmer feels leader Jane Sterk “did herself the most good” in a CKNW radio debate. Still, the Greens have just 10 per cent support in the latest Angus Reid poll. The Liberals trail the NDP (45 per cent) by 14 per cent, with the Conservatives lagging at 11 per cent. Will things stay that way? Stay tuned. — Comox Valley Record

More research required

arlier this year, The Morning Star published a lengthy letter from me on the subject of medicinal cannabis. I expected that letter would prove controversial, and prepared for a barrage of negative responses in the following weeks. Instead, I received nothing but supportive comments made by a wide variety of members of the public. Since then, I have continued doing research and reading on the topic of medicinal cannabis, particularly on cannabis oil and its effect on cancer. I have been inspired by my close friend, Cathryn Brown, who, after her second surgery for a rare intestinal cancer - pseudo myxoma peritonei - chose not to undergo chemotherapy and instead obtained federal permission to grow and use marijuana. The results she has demonstrated

have astonished me. Early in March, Cathryn chose to come out about her (legal) cannabis use while participating in a well-attended forum on the subject, arranged by the Vernon chapter of the CFUW. She gave convincing reasons for

government spending While not a pleasant thought, the world economy appears to be in the eye of a political storm, taking a number of bumpy years to exit to the other side. For this reason, we must hunker down and be conservatively prudent in our choice of a new government. Increasing government debt and increasing taxes must be avoided if we are to exit the current storm reasonably successfully. This means that any increase in debt must be for essential infrastructure purposes only, where our children and grandchildren will be paying taxes for something from which they will be benefitting: roads, bridges, transportation, etc. – elements which will benefit our ability to conduct business and employ people. We should not be borrowing to spend our children’s future taxes on consumption such as buying votes through increasing welfare benefits, and various spending programs to help people do what they can and should be doing for themselves, etc. The concept of child poverty is fraudulent. How can children be taken out of poverty without the rest of their family accompanying them? The only reasonable method to help them is for the government to be business friendly to encourage investment and thus employment. Increasing taxes, regulation and consumption spending does not work. Ask Dave Barrett (1972-75), Mike Harcourt (1991-95), Glen Clark (1996-99), and Ujjal Dosanjh

her decision to refuse conventional cancer treatments in favour of a centuries-old universal medicine – cannabis. As a result, a year-and-a-half later her condition is stable and she is in great form. Medicinal cannabis has now been legalized in several countries and

(2000-01), all of whom were NDP premiers and who eventually brought the province of B.C. to its economic knees and have-not status among Canada’s provinces, and were then fired for good reason. The current Liberal government is tax and spend similar to previous NDP governments. With a strong likelihood of economic storms in our near future, we need a more conservative approach in our Legislature. Scott Anderson seems to be the best candidate for our constituency. C. Wills still deCiding For whom shall I vote in the upcoming provincial election? Many people are likely asking themselves the same question thanks to the machinations and divisiveness within the B.C. Liberal Party. Normally, I vote centre or slightly right of centre. This time, I'm not sure where I'll place my vote so I decided to look at the candidate lineup across the province for all the parties, beginning with the B.C. Conservatives. Their lineup is stacked with middleaged white males with a sprinkling of female and minority candidates. That in itself speaks volumes about the Conservative Party. No vote here. The B.C. Liberals fare much better in the gender/ minority department. Besides, the B.C. Liberals act more like conservatives of the progressive kind.

U.S. states, and I hope it will not be long before B.C. will also allow its citizens to add it to their pharmacopeia. Meanwhile, here are a few thoughts to ponder as you Google away. 1. Did you know that the U.S. government has taken out patents on all synthetic forms of cannabis, known and unknown? One wonders why. 2. Did you know that the paperwork required by the government of Canada to qualify for medicinal cannabis runs to (at the moment) more than 30 pages? 3. Have you ever watched Run From the Cure? Check it out on YouTube and discover how cannabis can work to cure cancer. 4. And finally, much work is now being done on the raw product, particularly the juice. You don’t have to smoke the stuff. Jo Jones

I've always voted Liberal or Social Credit in the pre-Liberal days. Eric Foster is a known quantity, but then there is Christy Clark to consider. The NDP appear to be the most inclusive of all parties. Their candidate lineup speaks volumes of the NDP, but in a positive way, unlike the Conservatives. But, on the topic of personal income tax, the NDP have apparently committed to raising personal income tax rates. I already pay enough personal income tax, but then there is Christy Clark to consider. The Greens have a Vernon-Monashee candidate who lives in Port Moody. How is their candidate going to adequately represent our constituents when she knows little of our riding? No vote here. A lot of thought needs to be given in this election, but I likely won't know who will receive my vote until voting day. gordon Adams thAnk you I just want to send a big thank you out to Len who found my wallet up on the bench area and promptly called me to return it. We read lots of negative stuff about those who would steal anything given the chance. It's great to know there are folks like Len out there. I hope to be able to pay this forward at some point. ernest hughes

show the snow water content and the snow depth is above average for this time of year,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager, adding that water storage in the reservoirs was also measured. “As of April 23, the stored water volume is 167 per cent of average.” According to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, April snowpack levels are at 107 per cent of normal for the Okanagan-Kettle Basin, which includes the Kalamalka Lake water source. The South Thompson Basin, covering the Duteau Creek water reservoirs, was recorded at 111 per cent of normal. “This information indicates that we are currently experiencing an average year for snow levels,” said Clark. The B.C. River Forecast Centre predicts normal or close to average temperatures and precipitation for the next three months. “We will continue to monitor climate trends and water supplies,” said Clark. “Updates will be reported as they are received via media releases and also online at www.rdno.ca.”

renowned jazz musicians Bill Coon and oliver Gannon bring two much Guitar to the Vernon Jazz Club saturday.

Guitarists to share the bill Vernon Jazz Club opens its doors to Two Much Guitar, with Bill Coon and Oliver Gannon

DVoira YanoVsKY For The Morning Star

Revel in a guitar extravaganza with Two Much Guitar, showcasing celebrated jazz guitarists Bill Coon and Oliver Gannon at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Gannon and Coon have performed together in concerts throughout B.C. and appear regularly at Vancouver’s Cellar Jazz Club to sold-out houses. Two Much Guitar also features Darren Radtke on bass and Dave Robbins on drums. Although you’ll hear influences like Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, and Grant Green, this band has an original sound all its own. Swinging beautifully in a seemingly effortless groove, Two Much Guitar plays a mixture of swing, bossa nova, waltz, bluesy swing, and funky rhythms with verve, wit, and spontaneity. The repertoire is drawn from classic standards, jazz musician compositions, and originals by Coon and Gannon. Tunes on tap include Duke Ellington’s I’m Just a Lucky So and So and Prelude to a Kiss, Billy

Strayhorn’s Take the A Train, Clifford Brown’s Joy Spring, and Jerome Kern’s Yesterdays. Original songs could include Coon’s funky Zattitude, written for his niece when she hit her teens and developed some attitude, and Gannon’s Easy Sailing, a bossa version of Jobim’s Wave. Juno-nominated guitarist, composer, and arranger Coon is one of Canada’s most popular and respected musicians. Canada’s National Jazz Award’s 2009 Guitarist of the Year, Coon’s life has been immersed in jazz. “Jazz has been such an important part of my daily life for over 30 years now. I was drawn into it after learning pop and blues styles, especially The Beatles and Eric Clapton, but felt the need for something more,” said Coon. Coon sees a lesson in the communication and collaboration at the heart of jazz music and performance. “If the world leaders learned how to play in jazz ensembles, we would all learn how to collaborate and work toward common goals and seek peaceful solutions,” said Coon. Coon is also in high demand as an educator, teaching arranging, composition, and jazz guitar at Capilano University. Gannon has been very active in the Vancouver and Canadian jazz scenes since the early ‘70s, including festivals in Europe and North America, and three

tours of the former U.S.S.R. with Fraser MacPherson and Wyatt Ruther. “In Russia, we were playing every night to an audience of about 2,000 people. We would play 30 concerts on a tour and the people just loved it,” said Gannon. Not only was Gannon Canada’s National Jazz Award’s 2002 Guitarist of the Year, his duo recording with Fraser MacPherson won the 1983 Juno Award for Best Jazz Album. Bassist Radtke has worked with a variety of performers including Martin Short, Don Rickles, Grammy winner Ernie Watts, and Cedar Walton. Also a successful composer, Radtke wrote the theme for the CBC drama Edgemont and has enjoyed great success composing video soundtracks. Robbins is one of Canada’s premier jazz drummers, performing with musicians like Hugh Fraser, Campbell Ryga, Denzal Sinclaire, Miles Black, and Mike Allen. He now leads his own sextet which just released their first CD, At the Mark, featuring Robbins’ original compositions. Two Much Guitar takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors to the club, located at 3000-31st. St. upstairs, open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup or online at www.vernonjazzclub.ca.

The faces look out amongst the colourful bunches of fresh produce and tempting baked goods. Sitting at her booth, Melissa Dinwoodie is one of the many artists who can be seen selling her wares —in this case, paintings, prints and art cards— at the Vernon Farmers’ Market. Noticeable by the larger-than-life impressionistic acrylic portraits that peek out from underneath a canvas tent, Dinwoodie says she is fascinated by the underlying stories everyone has. About to show her portraits in the exhibition, Stories, at The Hub Arts Collective, Dinwoodie says some of her portraits are the figment of her imagination; others are from found images that she has built upon. “I don’t put titles on them and there is nothing in my head before I start painting. I like to leave that up to interpretation,” said Dinwoodie, adding Stories comes from the assumptions we have about those around us, but don’t necessarily know. “It’s human nature to assume things about a person from one glance, but how many of us stick to those first thoughts?,” she asks in her artist statement. “How many of us take the time to see if we’re right, or in most cases, dead wrong?” Educated in interior design, Dinwoodie has been busy pushing her art through her MD Art and Design business, and has most recently been showing her portraits and other works at the farmers’ market. “I’ve worked in oils since 2011 and this is my first year doing acrylics. It took me a while to get used to them,” she said. “I’ve been thinking of ways to make my work more marketable. My goal is to just do art.” Her work ethic lately has been to invite viewers to first identify with the image on the canvas, and have it be intriguing enough to compel them to step close enough to see each individual brush stroke, and the process wherein.

And like the portraits that she paints, Dinwoodie has her own story. Her father is world champion auctioneer Keith Dinwoodie, while her uncles are well known country and western performers Rob and Lee Dinwoodie. Opting not to go into the family business, Dinwoodie instead attended Okanagan University College after graduating from Pleasant Valley Secondary School in Armstrong. After obtaining her bachelor of arts degree in 2001, she lived in Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, where she received a degree in interior design at the Art Institute in 2007. “I’ve shown my work in Calgary, Toronto, New Westminster and Vancouver, and have been back in Vernon for five years now,” she said. “I knew I wanted to come back to the Okanagan. My family is here and I wanted to make new contacts.” Now living in one of the residential suites at the Caetani Cultural Centre, former home to renowned artist Sveva Caetani, Dinwoodie says she made the right decision to return home. “I was Googling arts stuff in Vernon and the Caetani house popped up with suites to rent. I was super excited... It’s nice to be surrounded by artists,” she said. Dinwoodie has also achieved her goal in making contacts here. She has shown her wine series of paintings in local establishment Crush Bistro, and her work at the summer art markets at the Caetani Centre gardens. It’s there where she met Hub curator Ryan Robson, who used to live at the house. “She thought my work would do well at The Hub, and booked my show for the month of May there,” said Dinwoodie. Those wishing to see Stories and meet Dinwoodie can do so when the exhibition opens at The Hub Saturday with a reception at 8 p.m. The Hub Arts Collective is located on 30th Avenue, downtown Vernon, next to the Towne Cinema. Admission is a minimum donation of $5.

Mandy Reeves and Rob Creelman are like many couples who share a closeness that allows them to finish each other’s sentences. Almost three years ago, that closeness helped them through the loss of Rob’s mother and Mandy’s father, within two months of each other. Rob’s mom, Doreen Creelman, passed away Aug. 31, 2010 at Hospice House. Less than two months later, Oct. 4, 2010, Mandy said goodbye to her dad, Peter Reeves. “We had never been inside the building,” said Rob. “But when we got there, Mom looked around and felt how comfortable it was and she thought the room was lovely. She felt comfortable with the staff and that she would be looked after, and her pain was managed very well.” Mandy said the family’s positive experience with Hospice began at intake, with an RN who was “fabulous.” It’s never easy to face the death of a loved one, but both Mandy and Rob say the staff and volunteers at Hospice go out of their way to ensure families have everything they need. “It was always about Mom, it was her comfort that was paramount.” With 10 years of failing health, Doreen was diagnosed with an aggressive and inoperable form of lung cancer on the May long weekend of 2010. “Her desire was to be home as long as possible, but when she ended up in emergency, the ER physician said she couldn’t go home,” said Rob. “We had set her up at home with a hospital bed and we had done everything we could to keep her there.” Doreen was just 75 when she passed away, after spending six weeks at Hospice. “Doreen was a fiercely independent and private person and so it speaks very highly of Hospice how comfortable she felt there,” said Mandy. “The privacy she was given, the sensitivity that everyone showed, including the care aides, the social workers, the volunteers, the housekeeping staff, the volunteers in the kitchen. “We were able to be a family and not worry about all of the medical stuff.” The staff was extremely adept at helping the family to understand that Doreen would die in the same way she lived. “She didn’t often speak about her feelings, she was not going to suddenly be this touchyfeely person, and the big thing was to respect who she was as a person,” said Mandy. What that meant to Doreen’s family was that her husband, Gerry, and all six of their children could be there. While Doreen was not able to leave her room, each night her family enjoyed their meals together, either out on the patio or in the dining room. “She knew we were together and when she was still able to eat a little, it gave

Rob Creelman and Mandy Reeves are ready to take part in Hike for Hospice on Sunday, in memory of Rob’s mom, Doreen Creelman, and Mandy’s dad, Peter Reeves. her comfort knowing we were enjoying the same meal,” said Mandy. “Every table in the dining room had a different family at it and you don’t think you’ll get to experience that kind of camaraderie at the same time you are learning to let go of someone.” Mandy said the staff ’s caring extended to the small things such as ensuring that Doreen always had her favourite rosecoloured nightie to wear. Near the end of Doreen’s life, she wanted only immediate family members nearby. Hospice staff took care of gently letting visitors know her wishes. “Towards the end it’s a bit of a rollercoaster ride and every night we would wait to see if she’d make it through and then we’d go in the next morning, and she’d have a cup of coffee in her hand and was asking for Baileys,” said Rob, smiling at the memory. In addition to raising six children, Doreen helped Gerry run his business and was a longtime manager at Tempo Music in downtown Vernon. She was blessed with 10 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Born in Saskatchewan, Doreen grew up in the Lower Mainland and moved with her husband and kids to Vernon in 1960. Although there was always a family member sleeping in her room at night, they knew she needed privacy to pass. True to form, she died alone at 7 a.m. at the beginning of a nursing shift change. “That was Mom, she didn’t want to inconvenience anyone,” said Rob. Mandy’s dad, Peter Reeves, had been living with dementia and although it had progressed to the point where he was living in a care home, Heritage Square, he was not incapacitated. “He was doing OK, so it was pretty shocking when he had some sort of cerebral event and it was made clear to us that he would need a palliative plan. The staff at Heritage Square is fabulous, and they were very fond of my dad. “We wanted him to go to Hospice, but there was no bed right away, so the pallia-

tive coordinator organized a volunteer to sit with Dad so we could get a break.” A father of two and grandfather of five, Peter emigrated from Bournemouth, England in 1956. A longtime car salesman, in his later years he ran a home handyman business, Man About the House. “He was British to the end,” said Mandy. With her mom, Annette, and her brother and sister-in-law, Chris and Shelley, Mandy got her dad into Hospice just before he died. “He arrived at 1 p.m. and he passed at 3:15. It was reassuring to arrive at Hospice and to see the familiar faces; they were very respectful and sensitive.” When her dad died at 76, his family was able to grant his dying wish, that his body be donated to UBC for anatomical research. “For him he realized a life-long dream to attend university and for us it’s so comforting to know that his bounty lives on.” Talk of death is never anyone’s favourite subject, but Mandy urges anyone whose family member has been declared palliative to consider Hospice. “It’s a very reassuring place. Hospice is important to us and so when we go back occasionally, I feel like we’re coming home.” When Rob and Mandy lace up their running shoes at Hike for Hospice this weekend, they will think of Doreen and Peter, who gave so much to their families and to their community. “It’s a time to reflect on Doreen and my dad and to think about the people who came before us, who made Hospice possible, and when I’m walking I think about the families that are there still.” The annual Hike for Hospice takes place Sunday at Polson Park. Registration is at 9:15 a.m., with the event starting at 10 a.m. The Armstrong Lions Club serves pancake breakfast from 8 to 9:40 a.m. for $5. This fun-filled morning of exercise and entertainment is a great opportunity to support quality end-of-life care in the North Okanagan. Pledge forms are available at Hospice, Nolan’s Pharmasave or online at www.nohs.ca

Cutting back for health

Charles, Carrier of the Month

Charles has been delivering two routes in the lower Mission Hill area and has proved to be one of our very reliable and hard working paper carriers. We at The Morning Star would like to thank you Charles for a job very well done!!! Sponsored By:

iets that are high in fat, sugar and salt are associated with a higher incidence of many of today’s common health conditions such as heart disease, some types of cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, obesity and Cathi Litzenberger tooth decay. So many of us, myself included, know we need to be looking at getting the big three in our diets under control before we risk serious health issues. I am one of many, I’m assuming, who likes my salt, and it will be quite a challenge to cut it back to safe levels. I know I’m not alone in this and found a few suggestions to help reduce my salt consumption. First off note how much we use, then cut it in half; take a number of days to adjust to the new taste, then cut it again and repeat until you are using very little. You don’t have to do it over night. There are many incentives for Canadians to reduce use of these three foods; some to trim up for bikini season, (I’m definitely not one of them!), some to lose weight, and then for many, because of health risks associated with too much fat, sugar and salt in our diets. Many processed foods, ready meals, and savoury snacks can be high in fat and salt,

so try to get in the habit of eating fresh fruits, homemade meals, herbs and other salt substitutes, and fats that are not contributing to high cholesterol. Today I’m offering a substitute for whipped cream because no one should have to go with topless desserts! It’s very good but must be made right before being eaten. The second recipe is for a seasoned crumb mix for chicken and pork which is low in sodium and fat. Mock Whipped Cream 1/2 cup skim milk 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar 4 tsp. lemon juice 2 tsp. sugar (optional) 1/2 tsp. vanilla (optional) Put the skim milk in a small metal bowl, set in the freezer and let stand just until ice crystals begin to form, about 20 minutes. Remove from freezer and add the dry milk and cream of tartar. With a hand electric mixer, whip the mixture at high speed until foamy. Beat in 1 tsp. of the lemon juice and continue beating until the mixture begins to thicken. Add a second tsp. of the lemon juice and, if desired, the sugar, and continue beating until mixture peaks softly. Add the remaining 2 tsp. of lemon juice and continue beating to stiff peaks. Fold in vanilla, if desired, and serve immediately as a dessert topping. Makes 2 cups. Note: Have all ingredients ready to go ahead of time.

Seasoned Crumb Mix for Chicken and Pork 2-1/2 cups wheat breakfast cereal flakes, crushed fine 2 tbsp. parsley flakes 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary or sage, crumbled 1/2 tsp. dried thyme or marjoram, crumbled 1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind Place all ingredients in a pint jar, cover tightly and shake well to mix. Use as a crumb coating for chicken or pork chops. The mix will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Makes 2-1/2 cups. Vary the seasoning in this recipe according to the meat you are preparing, chicken or pork. Rosemary and thyme are especially compatible with chicken, sage and marjoram with pork. To make seasoned chicken cutlets or pork chops: Brush 1 lb. chicken cutlets, pounded thin, or 1 lb. of pork chops with 1 tbsp. vegetable or olive oil, or dip in 1/2 cup skim milk or buttermilk. Place 1/2 cup of the seasoned crumb mix in a bag; add chicken or pork, one piece at a time, and shake well to coat. Bake the chicken, uncovered, about 15 minutes in a preheated 350 F oven until crispy. Bake pork uncovered for about 20 minutes in a 375 F oven until cooked through. Note: For bone-in chicken pieces, use 1/2 cup mix for each pound of chicken and bake 30 minutes or until no longer pink inside.

Bergenia are easy to grow

or the last week or so, days and nights have been colder. I sure didn’t do much in the garden. From the 19th to the 24th, I was sick with a very bad cold and stayed in bed most of the time. I managed to keep my seedlings alive and they were doing better than I did. April is not a time to get sick, with all the work that has to be done in the garden but I will survive, getting better as days go by. I got a bunch of bergenia the other day. They needed to move to a good home and I have a good home. I already Jocelyne Sewell have a couple of clumps in the yard and they are blooming really good right now but I wanted to learn a bit more about them. I went on the internet and found very interesting facts to share with you today. Bergenia plants are evergreen rhizomatous perennials with leathery, rounded leaves (reddish in winter) and dense, erect clusters of bell-shaped pink or white flowers in spring. They also make a good cut flower. How to grow Sun Exposure: full sun or part shade; south-facing, east-facing, west-facing or north-facing, exposed or sheltered exposure. They really don’t demand much. Cultivation Best grown in moist but welldrained, humus-rich soil. Dislikes hot, dry conditions but tolerates poor soil and exposed sites. They will grow in acid, alkaline or neutral soil, in loam, chalk, sand or clay. What else can you ask of these plants?

A gArdener’s diAry

You can propagate bergenia by division or root rhizomes sections in autumn or spring. One of my books says to do it after blooming in the spring. Frequent division prevents dead centres. Suggested planting locations and garden types: cottage/informal garden, flower borders and beds, ground cover, banks and slopes, containers. It is a plant with low maintenance. Just remove the faded flower spikes. Foliage may be eaten by slugs, snails, vine weevil and caterpillars. May be affected by leaf spot. Nothing can be perfect. The flower heads are large and the plant is about 12-18 inches high. The spread is 18-23 inches. The growth rate is medium. Foliar feeding tends to increase vigour. The best for me was to find out that they are rabbit and deer resistant. I am planting some on the banks where the deer take a short cut. So far this spring, they are not around as the tulips are making a fantastic show. By the way, all the tulips and daffodils that I planted in pots just before Christmas are now blooming. I just have to find them a spot now while the ones in the ground are still visible. Usually I end up digging right in them. The Vernon and District Garden Club’s annual plant sale will be on May 11 from 7:30 am. to 10:30 am. in the Rona parking lot, 2201-58th Ave. They will be selling plants that have been provided from members’ gardens, as well as worm castings.

Film deadline extended asparagus FRESH FROM OUR FARM Morning Star Staff

Aspiring and professional filmmakers still have time to get their films submitted for the third annual Inquisitive Clips Film Competition. Co-sponsored by the City of Vernon and the Regional District of the North Okanagan, the film competition deadline has been extended to this Friday. Filmmakers of all ages are encouraged to enter a short film (five minutes or less), telling a story about sustainability in your backyard. “Show the City of Vernon and RDNO what sustainable activities you’re currently working on, or what you want to see in the future,” said Jessica Rayner, the city’s s environmental planning assistant.

“Efficient building designs, increased waste reduction, alternative modes of transportation, food production – your imagination is the only limit.” First place prize is an Apple iPad. The top film entries will be screened and contest winners will be announced at the Environment Week awards night June 3 at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre. “Film submissions may also be showcased at future community events throughout the North Okanagan,” said Karmen Morgan, RDNO waste reduction co-ordinator.

NDP: borrow and spend

DP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed” election platform. Major policy announcements had been released previously, but there was plenty more spending added to the total. The NDP’s health care plan is surprisingly modest – more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services and a rural acute care initiative totaling $159 million over three years. As health critic Mike Farnworth points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform. Increases to Community Living B.C., children and Tom Fletcher families programs and aboriginal friendship centres are also commendable. Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence. Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise. Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000. This ‘70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a “child poverty” claim that misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution. The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a “big new social program,” which makes me wonder what would qualify. It would be partly funded by cancelling a B.C. Liberal plan to establish education savings accounts for kids born after 2006. Out with selfreliance, in with the nanny state. Another $100 million is added to hire more teachers, to address the teachers’ union’s often-

B.C. Views

repeated but false claim of “a decade of cuts” in education. Another $100 million goes to student grants, much of it further subsidizing the oversupply of English, education, sociology, women’s studies, journalism and other university grads who eventually discover there is little demand for their degrees. As with welfare, increasing support for bad choices can only yield more bad choices. On a related note, the NDP will revive a ministry of women’s equality, “to promote social and economic equality to all government programs....” As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ‘70s socialist feminism alive. The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income, bank capital, personal income over $150,000, carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the B.C. Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans. As for deficits, the NDP claims that the B.C. Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years. The B.C. Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record. Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the B.C. Liberals have done? Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions. The B.C. Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s labour code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote. And how much money does the “fully costed” NDP plan set aside to pay wage increases for its government union brothers and sisters? Zero. Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform next week.

At Askew’s Foods we try to share this knowledge to help teach you what you need to know to make informed decisions when purchasing your food. We achieve this by operating the meat department as an open concept, as well as offering our annual fish filleting and meat cutting demonstrations. When you need answers to your meat question come in and talk to one of our meat specialists.

Tigers stop Shamrocks

United U16s record split

Morning Star Staff

It was only Game 1 of 16 and the Vernon Source For Sports Tigers opened the regular season with a shaky comefrom-behind 9-7 win over the Armstrong Shamrocks Saturday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Tigers, who face the 3-0 Kelowna Raiders Thursday night at Memorial Arena, are the last Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League team to see action. It was 4-2 Rocks after one and 7-7 after 40 minutes. “Hard work, determination,” replied Tigers’ co-coach Keith Hanna, on what was paying off. “Right out of the gate, we were pretty rusty. We came back in the second and then put on a great show in the third period with some end-to-end action. “Our goalie (Joel Fruncillo) really stood tall in the third (stopped all 12 Shamrock shots) and we scored some real nice goals. Defensively, we manhandled them in the third and were hitting everything. I think that was the difference.” Two-way man Mason Limb led the Tigers with some stellar backchecks. Alternate captain Craig Bigsby pocketed 3+1 for the Tigers, while Jordan Orr and Nolan Frame each supplied 2+1. Singles came from Daryl Landels and Liam MacPhee. Marlon Forrest (2), Willy Hanley (1+2), Keith Minnis, Conor Payne. Mike Hanley and Drew Hassard replied for the Shamrocks. “I was really satisfied with our first period,” said Shamrocks’ head coach Bryan Cope, assisted by Adrien Lemaire. “We’ve been falling behind 3-0 in the first so it was nice to finally have a good start. The guys were running some nice offensive plays. I have a lot of kids who never went over centre using the offence/ defence system last year so it’s starting to come.” Cope praised captain Nathan Marcetta for digging hard for loose balls, one earlyseason weakness the Rocks will give special priority to in practice this week after losing too many battles in the third period Saturday night.

Vernon United broke even in Thompson Okanagan Under 16 Boys Rep Soccer League last weekend. United, coached by Mike Melbourne, brushed back Kelowna U15s 2-1 Saturday at MacDonald Park before losing to Penticton Pinnacles by the same score Sunday at the Singh Bowl in Kamloops. Both games were dominated by 2-2-1 Vernon, who simply couldn’t finish as often as they wished. Goals by Michael Williamson and Matt Kreutz, who both had several great attempts at net, paced Vernon Saturday. The defence was solid, led by the masked marvel, Bryce Dyck, wearing Hannibal Lecter protection after breaking his nose in a high school rugby game. “Outside midfielders Matt Kreutz and Cody Gilinsbockel were outstanding down the wings with lots of scoring chances being created with their speed,” said Melbourne, of Sunday’s loss. “Newcomers Scott Coulthard and Isaac Poulton and veteran Brandon Melbourne played their best games of the year.” In B.C. EA Sports Premier U13 boys play, TOFC lost 2-1 to Vancouver Fusion and lost 3-0 to Vancouver Mountain. Dominating Sunday’s game versus the Fusion for long periods, TOFC got stellar play from Vernon’s Owen Miller and Kelowna’s Mitchell Sloan. Finn Plummer was the other Vernon player on the TOFC roster. In Saturday’s loss in Kelowna, coach Peter Roberts said Miller, the team captain, was once again a “standout player for TOFC, covering and organizing his defence and trying to give some momentum to the attack.” Vernon’s Ben Purvis also played for TOFC, getting called up from the United U13s. United U11 #1 won a pair Sunday at Kings Park in Penticton, ambushing Shuswap 7-0 in a nooner and Kamloops Blaze White 5-0 in the afternoon thriller. Game 1 showed great teamwork and was highlighted by a 60-yard Liam Reid goal. Zach Smith with a great flick-header goal, and Jack Cotter ran miles for the squad, with back-up goalkeeping duties shared ably by Joel Kongsdorf and Devin Hofsink. In Game 2, United played hard against spirited Kamloops, with great passing from Luc Jones, Keegan Carmichael, and Dawson Martian.

Hofsink and Saajan Klair sparkled on the back line to help regular keeper Kevin Morgan register another shutout. In six league games, the team has surrendered just three goals. “The boys always play with great effort and have really started to control the ball and establish great passing attacks”, said United assistant coach James Cotter. United U11 #2 also posted a double kill in Penticton, taking care of Kelowna B 5-1 and icing Kamloops B 6-1. “This team has been practisnow opEn foR thE 2013 sEason! ing hard and they were rewarded “Exceeding Expectations” with their great attitudes and work ethic,” said coach John Glennon.

Their second goal came from a persistent and relentless Cayleigh Graham. Marina Dempsey made some great clutch saves. Coach Michelle Hughes cited great play and hustle from Emma Nesbitt, Shayna Camalush, April Fletcher, Madison Findlay-Proctor roger knox/morning star and Emily Clarke.

Blaze ran to a scoreless draw Sunday at the Singh Bowl #2 Centre. Teigan Moore unleased some great shots, striking the crossbar and the post. United got firm play at the back by Mara McLaughlin and a terrific showing by keeper Julia Kemper. United U13 girls battled to a scoreless draw with Kelowna United Sunday at Marshall Field #5. The Vernon back four were almost flawless with center backs Lydia Lavigne and Maddy Smith flashing their usual consistency and outside backs Lailah Akkurt and Sydney Embelton turning in powerful performances. Keeper Shawna Bradley and midfielder Jordan Butler were superb. United U12 #2 lost 3-0 to Kelowna White and fell 2-0 to Kelowna Black on a blustery Sunday at Marshall Field. Vernon’s offensive unit of Jayden Strachan, Hannah Miller, Emily Thomas, Kelsey Falk, Lynley Gordon-Mason and Olivia McLennan came close with some near misses, while stand-in keepers Emily Sorochuck and Abby Williamson were troopers versus White. In Game 2, United’s defence of Sydney Bergman, Elliana Gutknecht, Nadia Smith and Sienna Belanger-Lee battled tirelessly under Kelowna pressure. Player of the Match Elena Gaskell caused havoc all over the field. United U11 #2 girls had a tough outing in cold and windy Kamloops, falling to Penticton 3-0 and Shuswap 4-0. Solid efforts especially came from Sarah Troidl, Ashley Budgen and Greenley Schneider, who created several scoring chances . United U11 #1 girls split their games, clipping Penticton 2-1 and then falling 1-0 to Kamloops. Under the guidance of coach Felicia O’Gorman, Vernon started creating opportunities early in the game. Forwards Danica Ariano and Keira Correia worked well together supported by Kelsey Carriere in the midfield. Within minutes, Ariano blasted a shot off the post, signaling to Penticton they were in for a hard match. Grace Atkins and Julia Thompson both narrowly missed excellent opportunities before the Pinnacles pressed for a solid shot which was saved by keeper Makena Kersey. In the second half, Kersey continued her sweet play which encouraged Vernon to push harder. Carriere made several runs but was denied goals. She then intercepted a ball, skillfully dribbled through several defenders and scored a gem. Megan Sherwood pushed the ball to the end line, pulled it back and nailed a corker for Vernon’s second goal before Penticton countered. In their afternoon game in biting winds, Ariano showed her mettle in net with aggressive challenges and superb saves. Grace Atkins and Emilia Durfeld both had healthy runs, while Carly Southam and Carriere played stingy defence in front of Olivia McLennan, who showed nerves of steel stopping a howitzer penalty shot.

Yargeau on target Morning Star Staff

Kriss Yargeau used his head wisely Monday night as Kal Tire brushed off the host Salmon Arm Beer Badgers 4-3 in Kelowna Men’s 35+ Soccer League play. Yargeau scored early on a rebound off the cross bar, placing a header in the back of the net. Kal Tire kept the pressure on as Jesse Knight fed Tim McGowan for a sweet one-timer. Salmon Arm responded after a mix up in communication on the Tiremen back line before the Vernon crew countered right away as Knight crossed to Yargeau for his second header. The Badgers then pulled to within a goal before Knight bounced in a triple-post offering. Defender Ryan Sharp was firm on the Tiremen back line. In Capri Insurance Men’s 45+ League action, the Leko Precast Camels went to 3-0 by icing Silver Stars 3-1 at frigid Marshall Field #1. Dave Howes clicked in the 10th minute for the 2-1 Stars, burying a rebound. Roadrunner Zane Klym levelled things in the 40th minute from six yards, after a cross by Chris Odermatt. The Camels then got two corkers, the first from 20 yards by Gord Howard after a feed by Dan Zieske. Brian Williamson swiped the ball at midfield, beat a couple of defenders and unleashed a 35-yarder for insur-

ance. Stars’ keeper Ted Lurkins had no chance on either blast. Turn Key/Big O Tire Ogopogos toppled Bosman Accounting 3-1 in a battle of winless teams at Marshall #3. Big O came out flying but Bosman keeper Pete (The Heat) Richter stoned them cold while watching Big O strike numerous posts and crossbars and sailing shots wide from in tight, mainly by strikers Roland Riedstra and Mark Wasylyk. Jenne Huberts and Ian Murphy of Bosman also struck a couple of post and bars, while Big O keeper Jorgen Kongsdorf stole one away from Murphy on a clear breakaway. Ruben Cerventez of Big O opened the scoring early in the second half on a gorgeous shot after a nice pass back into the box from newbie Volker Otto, who had sprinted up the flank. The two sponsors put their two cents in when Parm Kler of Turn Key received the ball off a pinball corner at the 18 and pushed it back to defender Kerry Zubot, who lofted a shot over a crowd in front. Otto took a penalty kick a little later and drilled a low kick past the sprawling Kilmer Hagen, who replaced the injured Richter 30 minutes into the match. Bosman’s Stan Pavlov replied late in the game with a unexpected gift after some miscommunication on the Big O backline.

United U11 #1 split their games in Kamloops, bouncing Kamloops Black 3-1 before losing 2-0 to Kelowna White. Vernon started sluggish in Game 1 and the defence of Keeley Tiesen, Carly Larsen, Kenzie Kozure, Keiera Korberg and Callie Bertram shut down Kamloops until the girls picked up their level of play. Elena Friesen opened the scoring off of a nice crossing pass from Megan Claeys. Emily Bowden made a great run down the left side before feeding Claeys, who eventually hit Friesen at the far post. Janelle Barnett picked the corner from 20 yards off of a pass from Claeys to make it 2-0 just after half. Friesen ran down a loose ball and beat the keeper high for her second to make it 3-0. Two great stops from Summer Crosby sealed the win. In Game 2 versus Kelowna White, Rane Smith and Kate Earle ran miles up front. Sarah Stevenson and Emma Eggert clamped down the midfield and limited Kelowna’s chances. Crosby was again great in net.

Panthers earn tie

Morning Star Staff

Vernon Caufields Engraving Under 12 Panthers opened the fastball tournament season with three close losses and a tie in the Kelowna Ice Breaker at High Noon Park last weekend. The Panthers bowed 12-8 to the Kelowna Storm Saturday. Kass Bradley and Emma Lochhead each scored two runs and Alyssa LeMaitre made a double-play at third base, after catching a pop fly. In Game 2, the Panthers and Kelowna #2 battled to a 15-15 tie with Bradley stroking a double and single to drive in two runs. Abby Sundquist was hit by a pitch and came around to score, while Camryn Beer and Asia Graham each scored a run. Alyssa LeMaitre pitched well with one strikeout. The Cats then fell 9-8 to the Westside Outlaws Sunday morning with Jewel Jensen recording two runs. Bradley struck out one, while Timara Jensen pitched a great inning, striking out the side. Catcher Kaylee Crandlemire was stellar. In their last game Sunday afternoon, the Panthers lost 15-11 to the Westside Wild Thangz with Sierra Lochhead, Talisa Lutz, Jensen and LeMaitre each scoring twice. The Vernon U19 Dark Angels, sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion #25 and coached by Dave Munk, tied Summerland 8-8 Sunday morning for their best result at the Ice Breaker. The battery of pitcher Dallyce Edwards and catcher Ally Crandlemire was solid. In their second game Sunday, Vernon lost 12-5 to Kelowna, get-

ting runs from Mikayla Head, Megan Vadnais, Lexie Edwards, Keara Crandlemire and Rhianne Busslinger. Crandlemire and Busslinger caught great pop flies at first base and centre field, respectively. In the fourth inning, Ally Crandlemire snagged a hit to first and Dallyce Edwards caught smash at shortstop for outs. Shelby Munk was on the mound with Mikayla Head behind the plate. The Vernon U14 Red Hot Chilli Peppers (U14) played against Sicamous, West Kelowna and two of the Kelowna teams (no scores were reported).

Wind, cold and hail was what the weatherman dialed up for the first event on the Callaway Interior PGA Tour Monday. It was great British Open weather for the 28 players who teed it up at Black Mountain Golf Course.

Keith Vandenbrink of Hillview carded a 70 with four birdies in a row on the back nine en route to a 31.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

FOR GOOD DEFENSE, POINTS AND PLAYS The late Sen. Arlen Specter said, “If you are going to have to play defense all the time, you cannot have the kind of ingenuity, assertiveness, independence and intelligence that have made our country strong.” That is not the case at the bridge table. In a pair tournament (duplicate), if your defense is excellent because you are ingenious and intelligent, you should want to defend all of the time. Then you will get one top after another. This week we will look at one of the most important and taxing aspects of defense -- tracking the high-card points to place

the unseen key cards. In this deal, East has to find the winning defense. South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart nine. Declarer wins with his king and runs the spade queen. What should East do after taking this trick with his king? East should check the high-card points. South showed 15 to 17 points, North tabled 12, and East has eight. That leaves three to five for West. What high card might he hold? What did East learn from West’s opening lead? A nine is always top of nothing. So, West has no points in the majors. He must have a minor-suit ace. And since the diamond ace will not be good enough to

defeat the contract, East should assume his partner has the club ace. East should shift to the club three, the low card saying that he has honors in the suit and is trying to win tricks in this suit. West should win with his ace and return the club six, giving the defenders five tricks.

KURT PAUL OTTO WENZLAFF 1928 ~ 2013 It is with heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of Kurt Paul Otto Wenzlaff on April 25, 2013 in Armstrong BC. Kurt was born September 26, 1928 and raised in the Baltic coast town of Koserow, Germany. As a young man he enjoyed many sports including soccer, which he played avidly until well into his late 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, swimming, rowing and boxing. He was very passionate for the game of soccer and played for many years on Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teams of the 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Loving Home!

Hi! My name is Trooper and I am a handsome one-year-old neutered male Pug cross, and boy, do I have a story. I was hit by a car in January; some Good Samaritans came to my rescue and brought me to the Vernon Veterinary Clinic. I had a broken leg and am doing much better now. The Good Samaritans fostered me for a while but now I am back at the clinic looking for a permanent home.

An opportunity for healthier kids is cooking up. Better Together has announced that for the first time ever, this year’s Handson Cook-off Contest will bring a powerful message to secondary schools across B.C. That is: kids who cook make healthier food choices. “Research shows that kids who cook not only make healthier choices, but tend to eat together with family or friends, and with that, comes improved social behaviour and better school performance,” explains Sydney Massey, one of the creators of Better Together and director of nutrition education at the B.C. Dairy Association. “With this contest, we want to remind youth, and all people in B.C., just how fun and powerful it is to cook together.” “Cooking together is one of the fundamental joys in life but it’s on the decline as families get increasingly

Vitamin C: helps support the immune system and has a slight antihistamine effect (Recommended Dose = 2000mg per day in divided doses) Quercitin: is a plant-derived bioflavonoid (naturally found in onion and apple skins, and citrus fruits) that acts as a natural antihistamine (RD = 1000mg per day in divided doses between meals) Use a netipot/sinus flush 1-2X daily: Using a netipot (a small “teapot” used to rinse the sinuses) with a saline solution is a simple way to keep sinuses clear, and will help decrease the effect of pollens/ allergens (also a great way to prevent sinus infections) Fish oil: a natural anti-inflammatory and immune system support (RD = 750mg EPA per day)

Q: A:

I can hear sounds OK, but I have trouble understanding speech, especially women and children. It is worse in noisy situations. Why is that?

Hearing loss can exist in many forms. Trouble understanding speech is often an indication that you may have a hearing loss in the higher speech frequencies. Typically, people with this kind of hearing loss can get by in quiet situations when there are no other competing or masking sounds, but struggle when there is. A hearing test will help to identify where your hearing is affected. Counselling, hearing aids and other assistive listening devices along with coping strategies may help you hear better.

Q: A:

Don’t be hindered by hay fever For the millions of people with hay fever, the arrival of spring means runny noses, itchy eyes, congestion, sneezing and sinus pressure. Hay fever is caused by an allergic response to indoor or outdoor airborne allergens, such as pollen, dust mites or pet dander. To reduce your symptoms, it’s a good idea to stay indoors on dry, windy days and use air conditioning in your house and car. If you’re allergic to dust mites, encase mattresses, box springs and pillows in allergy-proof covers and vacuum carpets weekly. Treatment options: Antihistamines: helps relieve sneezing, runny nose, itchy, watery eyes and itching nose and throat. Available in non-drowsy and drowsy formulas. Decongestants: helps clear your stuffy nose and improve breathing. Available as eye and nose drops, sprays, oral tablets and liquid. If drops or sprays are used for too long, your blocked nose may get worse again. Vitamin therapy: take Vitamin C with bioflavenoids, Selenium, Zinc, Omega-3, fish oils or flaxseed oils to help reduce inflammation and support your immune system. Immunotherapy: gradual doses of the pollen to which you are allergic will help build your immune system. Speak to your Remedy’s Rx pharmacist. Sterling Centre

I’m curious. Is it possible to exercise too much?

Yes indeed. Sometimes you exercise so much that you fall into the Compulsive Exercise category. If you are at this point of exercising too much, you will start paying a health toll such as experiencing an elevated heart rate, insomnia, lethargy and fatigue, deteriorating results in your exercise, and you may even burn out. Long-term effects of compulsive exercising includes high levels of stress and premature aging. Listen to your body! Allow your body some down time to heal between workouts. You should exercise to the extent that it’s providing you with health and vitality...you should feel tired but ready to do it all over again after a day of rest! Remember, exercising is a great way to stay in shape, and it feels wonderful after you have worked out. If you feel that you may be exercising too much, speak to a Personal Trainer for guidance.

Q: A:

I am planning on selling my home; what are some things I could do to help it sell easier?

Number One: don’t try and hide things. If you have a rotten board on your deck, don’t paint over it - replace it. If buyers see little things covered up, they will wonder what big thing got covered up. Number two: clean up your house, get rid of the clutter. If everything is neat and tidy it reflects on how buyers feel about your home. Number three: be current on servicing all your appliances such as your furnace and fireplaces. If some are near the end of their expected lifespan, replace them even if they may be big ticket items. Number four: replace burned out bulbs, tighten all loose hinges on kitchen and bathroom cabinets. If interior doors are binding or don’t latch, make the required adjustments. If there are any repairs that you have been putting off or just “making do” now is the time to fix it. Ask yourself what would put you off of buying a home, and then make sure your home does not have these deficiencies. Lastly, if you are still unsure, then hire a good home inspector to do a “pre-listing” inspection on your home. You can then fix what you choose and have the report available for potential buyers to view and know what condition your home is in.

Yes, this is a great time to take advantage of our historically low rates as you would very likely be reducing your interest rate at the same time. With 5 year fixed rate mortgages in the 2.89% range**, we are now at a point where you would be saving interest costs when compared to the interest rate on a line of credit in the 3.50-4.00%**. We have the ability to set repayment on your home to an extended amortization, (with qualification) so you may find that you are reducing your monthly payment at the same time. We can also look at doing a partial fixed rate mortgage with a line of credit should you choose to keep the flexibility of a line of credit. We can work out a repayment plan that works best for your financial situation and help to guide you as to the best option to build equity in your home. Our goal is to help provide a mortgage solution that will be best suited to your Home Ownership goals
