Senior Games bid delayed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Flying car crashes near school RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Ray Siebring is ready to soar again although he came close to being permanently grounded. Siebring and a passenger sustained non-life threatening injuries after his Maverick flying car slammed into a tree near Ellison Elementary Friday at 8:45 a.m. “It was a life-altering event,” said the Kelowna pilot who helped build the craft. “I’m ready to get back in the saddle but I want to find out the cause so I can make it safer.” Siebring was preparing to land at the Vernon Airport after a demonstration flight when he lost control of the Maverick, which is a car fabricated with an aircraft engine and fabric wing. “There was either some meteorological event that caused us to make a sharp left turn or it was mechanical error. It started to spiral,” he said. With altitude dropping, Siebring started looking for places to land. “I decided on the least populated place and that was the (school) field,” he said. The craft brushed over the field, clipped a

fence and then came to rest up against a tree next to Vernon Creek. Witnesses provided medical assistance to Siebring and the passenger until paramedics arrived. “I’m feeling pretty sore and there are a few cuts and bruises. It looks like I was in a bar fight,” he said, adding that his passenger has bruises. The descending aircraft was visible to a number of people. “It looked like he was setting up to land and the canopy slumped forward,” said Russ Niles, a writer for Canadian Aviator magazine, who was at the airport and waiting to go for a ride in the flying car. “It seems like it was a aerodynamic stall. It looked like he tried to power out of it and he almost made it.” Jennifer Watson was walking her dogs at Clarence Fulton Secondary when she looked up and saw something was wrong. “I saw it start spinning. I didn’t know where it landed,” she said.

The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident. “We are hoping to gather information to determine the cause of the accident,” said Bill Yearwood, TSB regional manager. “We will inspect the structure and aerodynamic features.” Siebring says the craft’s safety measures performed as they should, but he will be reviewing onboard recording devices as well as video taken from the ground. “We’re not giving up on this technology and the dream,” he said. All Ellison students were inside the school at the time, but counsellors have been made available to students and staff. “Students will continue to be monitored for signs of emotional impact,” said Don Wilcox, director of student support services with the Vernon School District. A portion of the school’s sports day had to be postponed because part of the playing field was closed off for the Transportation Safety Board investigation.

If Greater Vernon lands a major sports event, it may be slightly delayed. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee had originally decided to pursue the 2016 B.C. Seniors Games but the bid will now be switched to 2017. “There is interest in holding the 30th anniversary games,” said Tannis Nelson, community development coordinator, referring to the founding of the B.C. Seniors Games Society in 1987. Greater Vernon hosted the first seniors games in 1988. However, at least one politician is concerned that pushing back the bid may send the wrong message to residents who were asked recently to borrow $7.5 million for a running track and sports fields. “To postpone, the public may say what was the rush in the first place?” said chairperson Mike Macnabb. Others, though, say a delay by a year will provide more time to see how the new sports facility, which will open in 2014, performs. “We can operate for a couple of years and see how the facility works,” said director Bob Fleming. Fleming also added that there would be more time for community groups to fundraise for items not included in the $7.5 million, such as covered seating. Nelson has brought together sports groups interested in assisting with the games. “They would like to start preparing for the bid right away,” she said. Previous B.C. Seniors Games have generated about $2.5 million in economic impact for their host communities, and that is a major focus for GVAC. “We have also heard from local businesses that even small tournaments bring in revenue,” said Nelson of football, soccer, lacrosse and track and field.

Residents prepare to make their mark Election results will be posted at www.vernonmorningstar.com richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Weeks of campaigning are virtually over and B.C.’s political future is in the hands of voters. British Columbians head to the polls Tuesday and it’s believed one of the more tightly contested races will be in VernonMonashee. “When we first started out, there didn’t seem to be interest but as things have progressed, I am hearing people are supporting us,” said Scott Anderson, B.C. Conservative candidate. “It seems as if soft Liberal support is falling our way.” Anderson claims the, “Liberal campaign is collapsing,” but he won’t forecast whether he or the NDP will declare victory locally. “The NDP are running a strong campaign and we’re running a strong campaign,” he said. Liberal Eric Foster is looking to retain his seat in Victoria. “I’ve been getting a great

Don Boyko casts his vote at the advance poll Thursday at the Schubert Centre in Vernon. See pages 6 and 7 for final statements from Shuswap and Vernon-Monashee candidates. response at the doors and there’s great support. Our team has worked very hard,” he said. Foster isn’t surprised to hear that Vernon-Monashee may be a constituency to watch. “The (provincial) election has

been a tight one right from the start and this area will be no different. We are in good shape for Tuesday as long as we get the vote out,” he said. Green candidate Rebecca Helps says she let her name stand

so local voters have an option. “Realistically, I’m hoping we get the provincial average of the Green vote,” she said. Helps, who lives in Port Moody, did not campaign in Vernon-Monashee but she says

that won’t impact her because people vote based on their personal views. “Most people go into a ballot booth without going to a forum or having a candidate knock on their door,” she said. Mark Olsen, NDP candidate, says his campaign has been positive and it is a result of his team’s hard work. “I’ve knocked on 6,000 doors and people say they are ready for a change,” he said. Olsen says he is looking forward to seeing the final results Tuesday. “We’ve never taken anything for granted. We know we had to gain voters’ trust and we’re hoping for the best. It’s going to be close.” Independent candidate Korry Zepik doesn’t expect to win, but he insists his campaign focus has been important. “I believe I’ve been getting my message out on climate change and the need to block tar sands development,” he said, adding that residents must vote strategically. “I believe the NDP will win here, and there will be a small NDP majority and two Green seats (provincially).”

Close race expected in Shuswap riding Tuesday Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Shuswap candidates are expecting a nailbiter as voters make their mark Tuesday. “I think that it could be a real dog race,” said Green candidate Chris George. “For the first time people have some real good choices.” Advocational Party candidate Johanna Zalcik says it will be close. “Right now it’s a real tight race between the NDP and the Liberals. I still think the Liberals are going to make it.” Conservative candidate Tom Birch believes he is in a good position. “I believe it will either be myself or the NDP within one or two percentage points,” said Birch, who expects the riding will be won with 30 to 33 per cent of the vote.

The majority of response he’s had from voters is that people are unhappy with the current Liberal government. “People say they’re going to take a chance here.” But there’s also a clear divide. “People are afraid of the NDP or they are NDP supporters.” Whoever takes the cake, Birch says they will need to consider all interests. “They (residents) need someone who is going to support all the people, whether they voted for them or not.” New Democrat Steve Gunner says his party is poised to be the face of change. “I’m feeling confident. A lot of people tell me it’s time for a change.” Meanwhile Liberal Greg Kyllo is also optimistic he and his party can retain the

riding. “There’s strong support,” said Kyllo, pointing to the local riding association numbers which were 600 back in October and are now more than 1,200. “It’s the highest number of members the Shuswap’s ever recorded.” One thing all candidates agree is that more people need to actually cast a ballot in the Shuswap. “Last time, I believe, there was only a 53 per cent turnout,” said Kyllo. George adds: “We’ve been talking to people that are so disgusted with the system that they haven’t participated.” Birch has heard the same. “There’s a big group of disaffected voters who don’t see the point. “I doubt if our turnout is going to be any

better than last year.” Results from Tuesday’s election will be posted online at www.vernonmorningstar. com as soon as they are released from Elections BC.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM

Vernon Creek caution urged richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Residents living along Vernon Creek should prepare for rising water levels. The Ministry of Forestry, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is releasing water from Kalamalka Lake and that may increase the flow in Vernon Creek before it enters Okanagan Lake. “If they had flooding last year, it’s a good indication that there may be an issue this year,” said Brent Watson, Vernon’s emergency management co-ordinator. “Sand bags are available and we are asking people to be prepared.” Sand and Sandbags can be found at the city yards, outside of the main gate on Pleasant Valley Road, and at the corner of Okanagan Avenue and Okanagan Landing Road. Sand bags are available during work hours at the city yards, 1900 48th Ave., and at the fire hall,

3401 30th St. The ministry releases water from Kalamalka Lake into Vernon Creek every spring. “As the lake comes up with snow melt, we’re managing the inflow into the lake,” said Bryan Symonds, director of water stewardship. “There’s still a fair bit of room in the lake to handle the inflow.” Residents visiting Polson Park are also urged to be cautious around Vernon Creek. “If someone falls into the creek, they can find themselves in trouble,” said Symonds of the fastmoving water. Presently, there have been no reports of flooding in the North Okanagan. “It shouldn’t be an exceptional year unless we get precipitation,” said Watson.

Suspects nabbed Morning Star Staff

Suspects have been arrested in relation to three Vernon thefts. On Wednesday at about 10:45 p.m., an RCMP officer was stopped by the Performing Arts Centre when she was approached by a 23-year-old man who stated he had been robbed. “He said he had been stopped on the street by two people, a male and female, and asked for a cigarette,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. “When he said he didn’t have any, they removed his wallet from his pocket and took his debit card. They told him to go with them to the bank.” When they saw the police car pull up, they ran from the area. A description of the suspects was circulated and later that evening, two bylaw officers noticed the suspects and followed them. They were arrested by the police in an alley between 31st and 32nd avenues. The two suspects, a 26-year-old woman and 36-year-old man, are expected to face charges of robbery in this case. Police also determined the female suspect was also involved in the Mac’s Store robbery April 30 on 27th Street. “The follow-up investigation resulted in a search warrant to a residence,” said Molendyk. “During the search, they recovered stolen property from a break and enter to a home April 22.” Charges are being recommended against two men, one 40-years-old and one 33-years-old, as well as the woman for robbery of the Mac’s Store. Charges of break and enter have also been laid.

Shuswap candidates state their case What do you think is the No. 1 issue for Shuswap voters and why should they elect you to represent them in the Legislature in Victoria? Tom Birch Conservative

I believe the most important issue for the Shuswap is to support our communities by creating jobs while protecting our watersheds and lakes. As a project manager in the forestry sector I

have acquired the skills necessary to coordinate our various community organizations and I understand land management and business development. The people of the Shuswap have diverse skill sets. We can lead the

way for B.C. in innovative, environmentally responsible business development. I believe in the passion and skills of the people in the Shuswap and I look forward to partnering with you and bringing your voice to Victoria.

WE BRING ITALY TO YOU ....

Chris George Green

We need jobs in the Shuswap. A Shuswap MLA can bring prosperity home only if he can truly speak for the Shuswap, rather than for his party. Our previous MLA was forced to vote against the best interests of the riding due to party discipline. The farm gate sales legislation was a clear example of this. Party discipline

has been used to stifle voices from the Interior for generations, as the urban ridings overwhelm the rural. I think it’s time for a change. I am a strong, honest voice for the Shuswap and would be honoured to be your MLA.

Steve Gunner NDP

I have knocked on nearly 2,000 doors in this campaign and people tell me that they are

ready for a change. They want a government that is committed to revitalizing the local economy, and I believe that one of the ways we can do that is through building a thriving agricultural sector. The promotion of sustainable agriculture as part of a wider economy will be one of my top priorities as your MLA. I have a reputation for being outspoken and determined. I will

Due to extreme temperatures causing a quick spring runoff, the City of Armstrong is having to switch water source from the Fortune Creek surface supply to groundwater wells. The creek water temporarily contains too much organic debris to be reliable. Some of the changes you may notice with the well water are – the water from the wells is slightly warmer, it may taste differently and require more soap for cleaning. However, it is entirely safe to use. As the well water is limited, it is necessary to implement Stage 2 Water Restrictions immediately.

Greg Kyllo Liberal

As a small business owner and active community member, I appreciate the importance of job creation in the Shuswap. Our economy booms during the summer because of tourism, leaving many workers with seasonal, rather than year-round employment. My top priorities as MLA will be to ensure that our economy continues to grow and diversify, providing stable jobs that are in demand. I’m asking voters to trust me with the job of MLA because of my business experience, community involvement, and my concern as a father of four daughters. I understand the challenges facing our businesses and youth today

Johanna Zalcik Advocational

The number one issue for the Shuswap area is the aging population, we need more extended care facilities. I know first hand how difficult it is to get a loved one placed. A vote for me would also be a chance to get some changes in the education. We need to start teaching financial literacy and functionality to our children.

Vernon-Monashee choices

DESIGNER WEDDING BANDS

What do you think is the No. 1 issue for Vernon-Monashee voters and why should they elect you to represent them in the Legislature in Victoria? Scott Anderson – Conservative

The number one issue in Vernon-Monashee is the economy. All other programs, including healthcare, infrastructure, social services, and even environmental stewardship depend upon it. The BC Conservatives will tax less, spend smarter, and cut red tape. Then we’ll get out of the way and let the real engines of prosperity - people like you - do what you do best. I won’t ever make a promise I can’t keep. When I tell you something it will be because I believe it to be true and not because I think you want to hear it. If that’s how you want to be represented, I ask for your support.

Eric Foster - Liberal

The greatest priority in this region is to keep growing the economy. A growing economy addresses the growing demands on our tax dollars, such as infrastructure, health care, education and funding for seniors. Hwy 97 improvements, the new Polson Tower, new affordable housing, 46 complex care beds and 2 new schools in this riding are all results of a strong economy, as is our $75 million commitment to skills training. We cannot afford the NDP’s weak economic leadership, which stalled investment here when they were last in government. For a strong economy and a secure tomorrow re-elect Eric Foster in Vernon – Monashee.

Rebecca Helps - Green

The backbone of a local economy is local production of goods. In Vernon-Monashee, a strong economy should be based around food production: slaughtering livestock, freezing produces, canning produces, drying fruit, etc. This would create a wide

range of jobs and secure employment not only for farmers and farm works, but also for local delivery drivers, electricians, millwrights, graphic designers, marketers, cleaners...This is how local economy is created. In addition to creating local jobs related to food production and handling we also keep money local when people buy locally produced food and food products which creates even more jobs!

Mark Olsen - NDP

We have a clear choice in this election: more of the same or a positive change. The biggest issue for voters is public trust in government. The Liberals have given us 12 years of saying one thing and doing another. They have given us unbalanced budgets and massive debt. As we know they misled us on the HST, which hurt businesses and jobs. Support for the Vernon Hospital was inadequate, resulting in only 14 net new beds. Our approach will put the needs of British Columbians first. I believe voters will say “yes” to change for the better.

Korry Zepik - Independent

Blocking the Tar Sands Pipelines and protecting our children from runaway Climate Change is our biggest concern. We must cap CO2 emissions in 2015 to safely avoid crossing the point of no return and give our children hope for a liveable 2˚C hotter world. At 4˚C civilization fails. We are accelerating towards 6˚C of heating. If the Liberals or Conservatives push the pipelines through, the Tar Sands triple, locking our kids into a 6˚C hotter world. Voting for me or the Green candidate will not help. The NDP are the only ones who can help our kids now.

It’s next year once again

ow that the Canucks run to the Stanley Cup, ahem, is over, I guess we can turn our eyes to the provincial election cam-

paign. Oh, wait a minute, it’s nearly over already. Oh well, I guess I’ll catch the next one. No, really, I’ve been paying attention but certainly not as much as if the playoffs weren’t on at the same time, and they’re late this year due to the earlier lockout so it’s even more of a distraction than it would have been if there weren’t four games on every night. Anyway the postGlenn Mitchell mortem on the Canucks season has begun in earnest and I’m not above throwing in my assessment for what it’s worth. Not much, I realize, but I need to vent so here goes nothing. The goaltending controversy continues and Roberto Luongo has most assuredly played his last game as a Canuck but there’s something else bothering me about the scenario. No. 1 goalie Cory Schneider is a good goalie who many believe will one day be great but he looked suspect in Game 3 and 4. One could argue his meltdown in the third period in Game 3 was a huge factor in that loss and he didn’t look very good on the tying or winning goal in Game 4. I would argue if Luongo was in net with a similar performance there would have been a huge uproar about how they should have got rid of him months ago, and how washed up he is and...... However, maybe it’s all for the best. Louie played well in the first two games, so he can leave on a high note, and the new guy got some valuable experience that he can build on – of course that’s putting an ultra positive spin on things but, hey, I’m a Canucks fan, it’s necessary. Anyway, the coach who put in Schneider

MitChEll’S MuSingS

after an injury layoff that might have affected his performance may not leave town on such a high note. Not that I think coach Alain Vigneault should be fired, he’s a good coach, but somebody likely has to take the fall for losing 10 of the last 11 playoff games and being the first team out of 16 to be eliminated this year. Injuries, some bad calls, and a few bad bounces can cost you in a series, especially when two games go to overtime, but that’s the beauty (and agony) of sports, the margin between victory and defeat can be small, and huge, at the same time. Anyway, getting to my original point, the provincial election campaign took a hit, if only people could care as much about who forms government as they do about their hockey team (maybe a Cup of some kind should go to the winner). I’m pretty sure you can’t blame the Canucks’ early exit on Christy Clark and the Liberals, although some might try of course especially in the final frantic days of the campaign, but it doesn’t help us feel good about ourselves, or the economy for that matter. So it might be a small factor somehow but, again, I’m not sure how electing an NDP government would help the Canucks either. And if you really haven’t been paying attention to the campaign due to the Canucks (or Leafs, or Habs, or Sens or even a non-Canadian team), apparently it’s a lot closer game than when it originally started. So that means your vote on Tuesday will definitely count (actually it always does just so you know) and there’s still time to make an informed and educated decision. Read the paper, talk it over with your friends and family, debate the issues and even consult with the candidates if you can. It’s important and it’s up to you. And unlike in sports, where it’s almost always wait ‘til next year if your team doesn’t win (heavy sigh), in politics the next contest is a long four years away. So get out there and vote.

If the last time B.C. voters went to the polls is any indication, you’re just as likely not to cast a ballot in Tuesday’s provincial election as you are to mark your X. In 2009 just 50 per cent of eligible voters in the province turned out at the polls to make their voice heard. In fact, voter turnout has been declining steadily since 1983, when 70 per cent of eligible voters in B.C. exercised their franchise. It’s not like voting is hard work. Short of knocking on your front door and sticking a ballot under your nose, Elections BC has made it increasingly easier and more convenient for residents to vote. Advance polls were open from Wednesday until Saturday. Voters can also cast their ballot at their nearest electoral office until election day. There’s an electoral office in every riding in the province, including VernonMonashee and Shuswap, and they’re open until 4 p.m. It was even possible to vote by mail. Residents who won’t be in their electoral district on voting day can vote in any other riding in the province. And while Elections BC has studied the viability of online voting, there’s no guarantee that would increase voter participation. In Markham, Ontario, where residents have been allowed to vote online in the past three municipal elections, participation didn’t increase, but it also didn’t decline. So really, there’s no excuse not to vote. – Black Press

Economics not so simple

el Derek submitted a letter called Simple Economics as an opportunity to snipe at the NDP. No, Kel Derek, economics is not at all simple. When people accept simplistic concepts of economics, discussion about what is best becomes impossible. One might say there is only so much money to go around. I would say that wealth is created out of thin air, simply by people exchanging goods or services. You may say business people create jobs. I say working people create wealth for business owners as employees and as customers. You may say that taxes are a drain on peoples' wealth. I say that taxes create wealth by taking care of things that we want done: by providing pubic safety and social security, by providing preventative services, by targeting spending where it is needed and where it would not be a private sector interest, and on and on.

Public spending is a very important part of our economy. This may be why conservative parties sound like New Democrats at election times. Which part of the public sector would you like to remove? You might say we must exploit resources and I might say we need to preserve our environment. You might say unionized workers are greedy. I say that we would not have a middle class but for the demand for a share of the wealth. You might think that we each would be wealthy if we paid far

in response This is in response to a letter written by Kel Derek titled Simple Economics. I am not a particular supporter of the NDP but I hate to see the spread of misinformation. Mr. Derek seems unaware that the most fiscally responsible government in Canadian history was the social-democratic government of Tommy Douglas. He delivered more than 16 years of balanced budgets in a dirt poor province whose infrastructure he improved considerably, and where he then established Medicare. It is no wonder that in a contest held a few years ago Douglas was voted the greatest Canadian who ever lived. In more modern times, other provincial NDP governments have quite good records. For example there's the Manitoba government which was led for many years by Gary Doer. The Scandinavian countries have all had socialdemocratic governments off and on for decades, and appear to be functioning better economically and socially than Canada. They have managed to be successful even though they have relatively high taxes. How very strange.

less taxes. I say that our increased take-home pay would be absorbed by the cost of living and then we would find ourselves without the services, and we would still have to pay for the things that our taxes used to cover. You would say that the NDP only creates deficits and debt, and conservatives create wealth for all. Surprise, higher wage and higher taxation economies have done better than austerity economics all over North America for many decades. Do some research. Anyone

Mr. Derek also seems unaware that for some time, corporations have used little of their profits and investments to create employment in their own countries. Instead many have outsourced decent jobs to low and slave-wage areas like India and Bangladesh. In the western world, these policies have produced hundreds of thousands of the working poor who make barely enough to survive. This obviously contributes to the erosion of the middle class and if that continues we risk causing the breakdown of society. The same corporations that have received large tax breaks and government subsidies have, by their ruthless actions, impoverished whole sections of society while enriching mainly themselves. Now that really is simple economics. sharon ramsdale Bollywood Bang On behalf of our patients, we would like to express our very sincere appreciation to Dalvir Nahal, member of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation board of directors, who imagined, organized and executed the recent Bollywood Bang fundraiser for our cancer centre comfort fund.

over 50 recalls things that we used to be able to afford and are now told we can't. The only simple thing about economics is that wealth and political power combined can enable policies that expand the wealth-gap. And so it expands, creating a third world type economy. And governments that seek to improve the lives of ordinary people are good for business. Rarely does business need to rely on government to succeed. This is all about humanity. Economics is not a system that humankind has to adapt to. Economics is the byproduct of humankind doing whatever we choose to do with our seemingly unlimited creativity. This letter is not to say that my ideas are right and yours are without merit. I am just saying economics is simple like the weather, always moving, some evident trends and rarely predictable. Craeg pohorelic

In no small part because of her tireless efforts, the event was a huge success, having sold out in 10 days. We would also like to thank the VJH Foundation for its considerable efforts in supporting Dalvir's vision, as well as masters of ceremony Sunny Dhaliwal and Ranbir Nahal, Sysco, City Furniture (Vernon and Salmon Arm) and Hillside Winery and Bistro, as well as countless other sponsors for their significant contributions to the event. We would also like to thank all of those who attended the event. As usual, Vernon showed up. And finally, our thanks go to the many women who donated exquisite Indian outfits and saaris and to the special few who assisted those of us who wore the outfits for the first time. The Lorelei Comfort Fund is used to assist those members of our community for whom a cancer diagnosis has created financial hardship, in the hopes that we can make what is a very challenging time just a little bit easier. This fund is solely supported by private donations and has helped countless patients since its inception many years ago. Members of the cancer centre team, Vernon Jubilee Hospital

ward a priority Thank you to Michele Blais for her article Renovate For Wellness (April 21), so accurately describing the mental health ward at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. This ward is seldom mentioned in references to the hospital, yet the public needs to know. Our experience has been that the staff are competent and caring, but the ward is a dismal place to regain one's health. We hope its renovation will soon become a priority. anne Moss

School Trustees’ Association. “So they have met with us and developed a profile, but apparently qualified superintendents are in very short supply,” he said. “It won’t be until the end of June before we begin interviewing candidates. It’s such an important task, as this person is the educational leader.”

has to be done,” said director Bob Fleming. “I hope it will be at the lower end of the scale.” Okanagan College is contributing $10,000 and while some GVAC officials believe that figure should rise, director Jim Garlick says that’s not possible. “The college is not a bottomless pit of money and they have their own (financial) challenges,” he said. “We’ve spent more on legal fees on smaller items. It’s the cost of doing business.” Spallumcheen request stalled Spallumcheen will have to wait to find out if it can tap into Greater Vernon’s water supply. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has been asked to extend water service further into the township. However, GVAC says a decision would be premature while the master water plan is being reviewed. “Once the master water plan is put to bed, we have other areas that want to grab on and we need to do an analysis,” said director Ted Osborn. “We’re not avoiding it, it’s just the timing.” Spallumcheen wants to extend water to industrial-zoned properties in the south-central portion of the township.

It was a challenging 40,000-kilometre event against some great competitors from around the world. And in addition to this awesome trophy, we get to come back again next year for free. We can’t wait. Only 364 days to go.” As revealed on The Global Scavenger Hunt event blog, teams touched down on four continents and visited 10 countries including China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Nepal, Qatar, Denmark, Sweden and Norway over the three weeks

between April 12 andMay 4. The event took its contestants on their international treasure hunt from Los Angeles to Toronto, the long way. The teams of two were required to seek out and answer cryptic clues that sent them on to other more challenging site-doing and interactive cultural scavenges on their global quest, ferreting out the answers to locations and extraordinary places, and doing remarkable things, all while eating exotic foods and experiencing bizarre local festivals...even modern ballets in Oslo. “We felt very lucky to win this event and

it was great to succeed against other great travelers,” said Bouchard, loyal son and welding contractor. “We literally went on a blind date with the world, from riding elephants and visiting sacred temples in Kathmandu to helping Cambodian orphans and visiting ancient bazaars. It was truly amazing. “And we beat some very hardy and welltraveled international competitors too, especially the three-time champs and those Kiwis. I’m amazed and happy, but thoroughly exhausted. I need a relaxing vacation from my vacation.” Obrecht and Bouchard were presented with twin crystal trophies for winning The Global Scavenger Hunt at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto after completing almost 600 global scavenges. All the teams participating in this annual travel adventure competition were helping to raise funds towards a $1 million goal for lauded organizations like KIVA and Free the Children, among others, to build schools and provide micro loans. “I am really proud of my fellow Canadians (Obrecht and Bouchard). They simply outworked, outhustled and outlasted everyone else. But it was close, winning it in the last hours of the last day. It turned out to be a great global competition among some truly worthy travel adventurers,” said William D. Chalmers, the event director.

Lumby senior care may expand richard rolke Morning Star Staff

The operator of a seniors care facility in Lumby says more options for residents may proceed. Some residents have expressed concerns that they can’t get into the 46-bed Monashee Mews because it’s not a retirement residence. “They are all complex care and they are all contracted to Carol Holmes the Interior Health Authority,” said Carol Holmes, president of inSite Housing, Hospitality and Health Services, which is constructing the Mews.

Chief receives TRU doctorate Morning Star Staff

A North Okanagan resident is being recognized for his contributions to the community. Wayne Christian, chief of the Splatsin First Nation, will received an honorary doctorate from Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops June 13. Christian has been elected chief of the Splatsin band several times and has advocated for aboriginal people in the areas of health, title and rights, and culture on provincial and national committees. According to TRU, Christian has spent considerable time advocating on behalf of youth, from creating sport and culture opportunities to being a co-investigator of the Cedar project, a federallyfunded study addressing the HIV-related vulnerabilities of aboriginal young people using drugs. He has been instrumental in the creation of programs such as Survivors of Trauma, which assesses multi-generational impacts of residential schools. “Chief Christian’s belief that strength lies in pulling together is evident in his work in band relations in the Secwepemc Nation, through various committees and programs,” states a TRU release.

seniors and people with mild to moderate dementia. There is also a 10-bed unit for adults with acquired brain injuries. Holmes admits there are other needs within the community and her company is considering the possibility of assisted living for more active seniors. “We’ve had some discussions about a phase two. We have enough land available on the site,” she said. The next step will be a community information session. “We will ask people to tell us what they support, when they want it and how much they are willing to pay (for suites),” said Holmes, adding that any future projects must be financially viable for her company. “We may modify the service package to meet the needs of the community and keep costs down.”

Spall supports Enderby mill expansion roger knox

“They’re a long-standing business that employs 103 people.”

Morning Star Staff

The Township of Spallumcheen wants to see North Enderby Timber expand. Township council unanimously agreed to send a letter of support for the mill’s application to take nearly five acres of land beside its Highway 97A site out of the Agricultural Land Reserve so it can be used for a log storage yard and dry kiln. A previously existing kiln on the site was lost in a fire. NET also wants to convert a former 4.9-hectare log sort yard on Crandlemire Road into agricultural capabilities. “This impacts some of our residents,” said Spall Coun. Christine Fraser. “One of our farmers said he gets chips from the mill. If he had to pay for the amount of chips he gets, he couldn’t live here.” Coun. Todd York agreed with Fraser’s assessment of the huge economic impact NET has on the community. “I’ll enthusiastically support this,” he said. “They’re a long-standing business that employs 103 people.” Building bustling in township March was a busy month for issuing building permits in Spallumcheen. According to the monthly report from COULD YOU USE

— Todd York

the Regional District of North Okanagan, there were eight permits issued in Spallumcheen totalling $1,250,00. That’s up from the $457,610 from eight permits in March 2012. So far in 2013, there have been 13 permits issued totalling $2,329,000. That’s up from six permits issued through the first three months of 2012 which totalled $895,550. “That’s more than the electoral areas, Armstrong, Lumby and Enderby combined,” said Coun. Christine Fraser. The other areas’ permits, so far in 2013, have totalled $1,820,450. Pool prepared Residents of Armstrong and Spallumcheen will soon make a splash. The projected opening date for the outdoor pool at Memorial Park in Armstrong is Saturday, May 18. “Prep work has begun for the start of the 2013 season,” said Spallumcheen Coun. Joe Van Tienhoven, who sits on the Armstrong Spallumcheen Parks and Recreation board.

Efforts are being expanded to ensure affordable housing for local families. Residents can leave bequests in support of Habitat for Humanity trying to raise $300,000 to purchase a piece of land for housing. “You can help address housing needs in the North Okanagan now and in the future by talking to your financial advisor about planned giving and your estate,” said Cheryl Kaminsky, a member of the Habitat Champs, which is leading the fundraising campaign. “Habitat for Humanity does not give away homes. We build simple, decent homes which are sold to our partner families. We work with people who help themselves.” A family volunteers a minimum of 500 hours of sweat equity to qualify for a home. “The mortgages paid by Habitat for Humanity partner families are used to build more houses,” said Kaminsky. “By giving families the hand up of homeownership, you will be creating a lasting impact for generations to come.” For information, contact Kaminsky at

A new water pipeline is in the planning stages for Spallumcheen’s Steele Springs Waterworks District. The township has granted Steele Springs’ request to submit an application on its behalf to the provincial ministry of community and rural development to help pay for a project that will help the planning and engineering of a one-kilometre section of water main. The pipeline would replace the deteriorating galvanized line and 17 domestic shut-off Christine Fraser valves that were installed in 1935. “Unless they’re a certain size and service a certain amount of customers, this is the only way they can get provincial funding is if we help them,” said Coun. Christine Fraser. Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh said Steele Springs is applying strictly for a planning grant which the township submits to the province on their behalf. “Once the application is done, there is little or no effort spent by this office,” said Freeman-Marsh. The cost of the project is estimated at between $130,000 and $140,000, including approximately $14,000 for the planning portion.

If successful with the application, the project is hoped to be completed by Oct. 31. Steele Springs trustees chairperson Brian Upper said the project would improve public health and safety, supports community sustainability goals and supports the development of long-term plans. Upper said the waterworks district’s engineer would design the pipeline plan in sonsultation with the township’s public works manager and Interior Health Authority engineer.

Collins enjoys ultimate ride Graeme Corbett

Rocks tie Raiders Morning Star Staff

Morning Star Staff

The sport of ultimate has come a long way since Andy Collins first started playing it 20 years ago in North Bay, Ont. And so has Andy. When he originally stepped on the field, it was with the intention of staying in shape after high school, and engaging in a social sporting atmosphere. Since then, Collins, now a 36-year-old realtor in Vernon, has competed in two world championships, and he recently played in the first-ever professional ultimate game in western North America. Major League Ultimate made its debut on Saturday, April 20, with the host Seattle Rainmakers dousing Collins’ Vancouver Nighthawks 14-12 in front of 800 fans. “Twenty years ago, I never thought it would happen,” said Collins, who caught two points and set up two more. “I also never thought I’d be playing this long. “The atmosphere of that game was amazing. It’s like being a real athlete again.” Collins and the Nighthawks get flown in for games, and players receive a $25 stipend. It’s hardly the six- and seven-figure salaries awarded to mainstream pro athletes, but it’s a start. “We’re still playing for the love of the game,” said Collins. “It’s not like we’re going to become millionaires.” The Nighthawks, who play out of UBC Thunderbird Stadium, are in a four-team West Division that includes the Portland Stags, Rainmakers and San Francisco Dogfish. The East comprises the New York Rumble, Boston Whitecaps, Philadelphia Spinners and Washington DC Current. Teams are allowed 25 roster spots (up to 21 can dress on game day) and they play 10 regular-season games, with the top two from each division making playoffs. “It’s not as intensive a schedule,” said Collins. “If you’re playing club, you’re playing from June to Halloween.” Collins said the Nighthawks handle themselves like any pro organization, employing a GM, coach and operations staff. And they do all the little things like injury reports, announcing starting lineups (which he gets a kick out of) and organizing online standings and statistics (www.mlultimate.com). “It’s pretty exciting and they seem to be doing a good job of it,” he said. The biggest difference between the pro and recreational versions of ultimate is the inclusion of referees. One of the sport’s initial foundations was self-governance, meaning players would sort out any disputes among themselves. For ultimate to go pro, referees became necessary. And as Collins points out, it also helps from a fan perspective to know what’s going on in the game. MLU further refined the sport by changing game lengths from an open-ended score to four 10-minute quarters. They also use NFL-sized fields with 20-yard end zones to increase offence and give the action a better flow. “It’s definitely spectator friendly,” said Collins, adding ultimate is becoming more mainstream all the time. “The potential for it is pretty huge; it’s growing like crazy in the States. There’s 300 teams in college alone and they’re doing a great job of marketing it. “The best thing about ultimate is it can played at every level.”

The Armstrong Shamrocks became the first team to earn a point against the Kelowna Raiders in Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League play Friday night. The host Rocks jumpstarted a Lacrosseville twinbill at Nor-Val Sports Centre by playing to a 10-10 draw against the rugged Raiders. Stephen Ringdal led Armstrong (1-1-4) with three goals and two assists, with other offence from Drew Hassard (3+1), Nathan Marcetta (1+3), Joel Castle, Sheldon Nelson and Carston Schlaak. Andrew McMillan (3+2) and Brendan Urban (2+4) paced the 5-0-1 Kelowna offence. In the late game at Nor-Val, the Senior Shamrocks fell 10-6 to the Kamloops Rattlers. Singles by Armstrong’s Brent Anderson and Stu Williamson, and a pair by Kamloops’ Riley Donahue had the game tied 2-2 after one period. Goals by Kyle Versteeg and Williamson had the Rocks trailing 5-4 heading into the third period, where the Rattlers used the powerplay to pull away. Donahue, Curtis McIntosh, Mark Jurista, JJ Woldum and Shaun Donahue scored for the visitors. The Rocks answered with goals by Anderson and Williamson. Shamrocks’ keeper Chad Pieper had 39 saves while Mitch Smith had 24 stops for Kamloops.

The Fulton Maroons are cruising at the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys Rugby Championships. The Maroons advanced to Monday’s semifinal with the host Merritt Panthers after pummeling the host Westsyde Whundas 45-0 in quarterfinal play Friday in Kamloops. Clark Richardson led the Fulton attack with three tries while going 3-for-5 on converts. Connor Mackus added a pair of scores and Layne Greene and Caleb McCuaig each had one. Greene booted two converts. “This was a very complete effort from our club,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “We tackled well, our set pieces were strong and we moved the ball well on attack. “We had a few handling issues that resulted in knock-ons early, but other than that, we played a great game.” Hooker Adam Woods was a nightmare for the Panthers, making tackles and stealing their put-ins. Greene made a lot of solid runs at standoff and set up his teammates, Mackus had some nice finishing runs at wing, and forwards Lucky Banga, Ray Relling and Dan Eustache were terrific up front.

The Kalamalka Lakers shut down the Fulton Maroons 2-0 in the North Zone Senior AA Girls Soccer League final Thursday at Marshall Field. The Lakers converted in the 10th minute on a quick counterattack with a solid shot going low corner. Kal added insurance in injury time. “It was a good game,” said Fulton coach Marty Stein. “We couldn’t bury our chances and they did. That was the difference.” Stein singled out midfielder Alana Young for running miles and playing hard. Both the finalists join third-place Seaton Sonics and fourth-place VSS Panthers in the Valley playdowns starting Tuesday at Marshall Field. Kal starts the eight-team tournament against the Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops (9 a.m.), while Fulton takes on the Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton (11 a.m.) Seaton meets the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops at 11 a.m., while VSS tangles with George Elliot Coyotes of Lake Country at 9 a.m. There are also games at 1 and 3 p.m. Preliminary games resume Wednesday at 9 and 11 a.m. with the championship and consolation finals scheduled for 2:30 p.m. The top three teams advance to the provincials, May 30-June 1, in Courtenay. Meanwhile, Fulton defeated Revelstoke 1-0 in the last regular-season junior girls league game.

The 2012/13 snowboard cross season didn’t exactly go according to plan for Vernon’s Kevin Hill. Chasing his 2014 Winter Olympic dream turned into quite a high-pressure, stressful season for the 26-year-old. While Hill turned in some of the best qualifying times of his career, he struggled on race day, ending the year 34th overall in the World Cup standings. “I couldn’t pull my racing together,” said Hill, who was a forerunner for Team Canada at the 2010 Olympics. “Coming into this year, there was a big load of stress put on my back. You either had to win world championships, or the Olympic test event in Sochi, Russia (2014 Olympic host), to guarantee your spot.” That didn’t happen, so now Hill will have to wait until a month before Olympics and hope his results are enough to earn him a late entry on the team. It’s similar to what happened in Vancouver, only then he was an unknown. “Just missing out on the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, by the coach’s discretion, makes the upcoming Olympics even more of a desire to be

able to show my talents and bring home a medal,” said Hill. Some of Hill’s season highlights include fourth place at the Neil Edgeworth Banked Slalom in Big White, seventh at the U.S. Grand Prix (he won it last season) and 11th at nationals. He qualified sixth at this year’s world championships, but failed to make it though the first round due to a crash. He finished 33rd. Hill’s disappointment got to a point where he was sometimes reluctant to send updates to friends and family about his results. “I had some low points where I was unsure of what to do and what my next move would be concerning my career,” he said. “Each race that went by with a disappointing finish made me want to keep quiet and not tell anyone how I did. “Every professional sports player has his ups and downs. It is part of the sport and it is something you have to deal with to push through to become the best.” Hill is one of four members on the men’s national team, and he expects that will be how many compete for Canada in Sochi. If he can maintain his ranking, he believes he will realize his goal of becoming an Olympian. To improve his chances, he plans to keep his strength up at the gym and eat better when he’s away from home. Hill also plans to race in BMX and mountain biking this spring and summer to keep his competitive mind set. He thanked sponsors Fitness Max, Bio-X Nutrition, Rancho Vignola, Attridge Ski & Board and Oakley Canada.

Sports Vandesande earns double dip

Mom promised ice cream for a home run. Ryan Vandesande earned two scoops by stroking two dingers as the Best Western Lodge Red Sox clipped the Five Star Awards Blue Jays 13-12 in Mosquito baseball play Thursday night at Lakeview Park. Vandesande was also solid on the mound, while Sapien Joe ripped a three-run homer and Teja Sheldrake also went yard for the Sox. Michael Macaulay went 3-for-3 with a triple and double for the Blue Jays. Nolan Stein and Jace Weir both went 2-for-3, while Tyson Stevens, Baylee Cooney and Kassidy Schaper-Kotter were sharp on the Jays’ hill. The Pickles and Tigers bad a blast in Tadpole play at Beairsto School with Hunter Goodwater making an amazing doubleplay and Cooper Hanson diving to snap a line drive for the Tigers. The Pickles’ defence was led by Shirelle Nickoli and Caleb Johnson. Griffin Morrier and Gabe Jones of the Pickles and Nicole Lakey, Jared Eddy and Curtis Hartland of the Tigers held big bats.

Gators ambush Dozers

The White House Mortgage Gators upended Lumby’s Ted Luszcz Bulldozing Dozers 15-9 in Vernon Square Liquor Store Women’s Slo-Pitch League play Wednesday night at Kin Park. Trailing 6-3 after two innings, the Gators answered in the third with three runs off a Michelle Embleton home run. The Dozers came back, knotting the game 8-8, but the White House crew went allowed just one run the rest of the way. The Gators’ Jacquie Anderson (4 RBI) and Kate Carter each went 4-for-5, while Embleton (triple, 5 RBI) and Aundra Johnston hit 3-for-4. Kelly Jenner was superb on the mound. The Dozers got offence from Michelle Mulholland (3-for-4), and Terri Hanson, Tara Young and Sherry Kineshanko, each with two hits. Third baseman Trina Maltman showed a strong arm in gunning down several Gator base runners. Shelly Ouellette went 4-for-4 and Amanda Arganac smacked a homer as Dave’s Mobile Mechanic Devils slammed the Dynamite 30-14 in the other Wednesday nighter.

Gourdine stellar for Seaton

It came down to one stroke as the Seaton Sonics edged the Kalamalka Lakers Thursday to win the North Zone high school golf title on a superbly conditioned Canoe Creek track in Salmon Arm. Mac Gourdine, a Grade 9 student, led Seaton with a stellar 76, shading Kal’s Austin Bosquet by one stroke for the individual crown. Coming in as part of the last group, Gourdine was even-par standing on the par-3 17th. A quadruple bogey did not phase the dynamo for long as he ripped a drive down the middle of 18 and recorded his par. Mackenzie Barrie and Matt McEachran-Law with 82s, and Russell Day, with 88, rounded out the Seaton team total of 228. Bosquet, 77, Alex Kreutz, 81, Jaren Larson, 85, and Matthew Kreutz, 86 contributed for Kal. Seaton and Kal, along with Pleasant Valley, all advance to the AA Valleys Monday at Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna. VSS will compete in AAA. Berths for the provincials, May 26-28, at Arbutus Ridge in Cobble Hill, are on the line.

Sistas repel Rockets Morning Star Staff

Nicole Williams pulled the hat trick as Sunterra Sistas grounded the Green Rockets 6-1 in North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Division 2 play Thursday night at Marshall Field #2. Williams carried the ball through a maze of defenders and pushed it past Rocket keeper Rachel Cross for her second goal. Cross faced a barrage of shots and recorded many big stops. Deanna Baker bagged a deuce for Sistas. Becky Birbilis fed Williams, who played it to Baker for a beauty shot from outside the box, for her first snipe. Tawny Ruddenham replied for the Green girls with a high shot, just over Sistas keeper Suzyn August’s reach. Andrea Zubot assisted Baker’s second goal, while Birbilis passed to

winger Kim Sylvester, who relayed to Williams for her second goal. Amanda Gaythorpe cleaned up on a foiled Birbilis attempt, making no mistake for her second career goal. Baker set up Williams for the hatty. Marisa Wiebe was solid on the back line and Sarah Ehman was stellar on the wing for Sistas. In Masters play Thursday night, the Controllers and Chick Kickers tied 1-1 at Marshall #3. Shauna Duncan put the Kickers in front at 15 minutes with a 25-yard corker top shelf past keeper Mickey Templeton. The Controllers pressed hard for the equalizer with Leslie Epp striking the crossbar, while Templeton used her fingertips to stymie Tana Sladen’s 20-yard blast. In the dying sec-

onds, Jen Spitzer of the Controllers tapped in a cross by Jacquie Nuyens. Me a nw h i l e , Penticton United shut down Vernon Kal Tire 3-0 in men’s 50+ action Thursday night in Summerland. Tony Munoz put on a footwork show and pulled the hat trick for Penticton, whose keeper Dean Massie stoned Tiremen strikers Terry Lowe and Kevin Mitchell in the early going, and robbed Dave Hampton from in tight in the second half. Midfielders Denis Chabot and Jim Sparrow shared the Old Milwaukee Man of the Match for the Tiremen (3-2), who got some clutch saves from Al Bensmiller.

New hearing for development roger knox Morning Star Staff

Pamela Owen Mortgage Specialist phone 250-260-0008 fax 250-260-4005 pamela.owen@bmo.com

B ecaus e of bylaw changes in Spallumcheen, third reading for a proposed development has been rescinded. A new public hearing for Pleasant Valley Estates will now be

heard on the matter on an as-yet specified date. The original application passed three readings in 2008 but the council of the day wanted a number of conditions met prior to final adoption of the rezoning bylaw. To date, said town-

ship planner Marnie Skobalski, the applicant has not successfully addressed all of the conditions. Deloy Routley of Pleasant Valley Estates Ltd. wrote a letter to the township in January to request reconsideration of the conditions in

What have they done to Grandpa? H

undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services. The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.

Universal home support

COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

light of changes to the township’s official community plan and subdivision servicing bylaws. Such a move made rescinding the original three readings necessary. “Because it was new information presented to council after the close of the public hearing that also took place in 2008, you have to go back and have another public hearing,” said Skobalski. The application remains the same as it did in 2008, and that is to rezone the subject property from large holdings to light industrial, then build a 28-lot fee simple subdivision on the site with parcels not less than one hectare. The subject property

is currently vacant and sits adjacent to Highway 97A rising above the east side of the highway on a west-facing slope. “Pleasant Valley Estates Ltd. has owned this property since 1994, and we look forward to the day in which it can be developed as an industrial property that residents of the township can be proud of,” wrote Routley. Council unanimously agreed with the planning department’s recommendation to rescind the first three readings. Pleasant Valley Estates Ltd. has also agreed to pay a second $1,500 public hearing fee. The new public hearing is likely to be held in June.

Transportation key to new agreement Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has approved a new inter-municipal partnership that will co-ordinate delivery of sustainable transportation programs and projects. Earlier this year, local governments gave their approval to a memorandum of understanding indicating their participation in the sustainable transportation partnership. “The goals of the partnership are to establish unified region-wide policies and strategic plans for all modes of transportation, improve responsiveness and accountability, reduce costs and improve efficiencies on transportation issues,” said Bruce Smith, with RDCO. “And it will provide a collective voice to communicate regional transportation initiatives to senior levels of government.”

Sailing benefits spinal cord group Morning Star Staff

If they’re not meeting for coffee and chatting, they’re sailing, scuba diving, cycling, playing tennis, and soon, even water skiing. These are just some of the activities that peer members of Spinal Cord Injury BC (SCI BC) are getting involved in. On Wednesday, peers from across the Okanagan will meet up with the Disabled Sailing Association to try sailing, many of them for the first time since their injury. “Apparently it’s completely independent, so to be able to do that on my own would be pretty cool,” said Shawn Baxter, a 27-year-old with paraplegia who joined the local SCI BC Peer group only three weeks ago. Since then, he’s been hand cycling with James Hecktner, SCI BC’s Kelowna peer coordinator, and other local peers two or three times a week. “I knew I could do things like sail, sit-ski and waterskiing, but I just didn’t know that there was anything in town,” said Baxter. “It’s been great getting to know everyone.” Hecktner and his colleague in Vernon, Sonja Gaudet – a Paraplympic champion and Canada’s most decorated wheelchair curler – organize coffee groups in communities across the Okanagan every week. They plan on hosting kayaking, rowing and camping events throughout the summer. “These events impact our peers in all aspects of their lives,” said Gaudet. The expansion comes just in time for National Access Awareness Week (Disability Awareness Week) – May 26 to June 1.

A spike in reports of children and pets left in hot cars has the RCMP very concerned. “Over the past few days, the Kelowna RCMP have fielded several of the usual complaints of dogs left in cars. Unfortunately, they have also responded to at least a couple situations where a child was left inside the sweltering heat,” said Cst.

‘Hope’ flies through the skies Cara Brady Morning Star Staff

Hope Air is Canada’s only nation-wide charity providing free flights to people who cannot afford the cost of an airline ticket to get to specialized medical treatment outside their home communities. Since 1986, Hope Air has arranged flights for people of all ages from across Canada, using national and regional airlines and private planes. Leila Ward of Vernon has been a Hope Air client since last summer and she is certain that the service has saved her life by allowing her to go to Vancouver for medical treatment she cannot get closer to home. “There is so much compassionate work in Hope Air. I heard about it from someone at the pool and wondered if I qualified. By a miracle, I did,” she said. Ward, an artist, photographer, activist and retired teacher, goes to Vancouver for treatment for spasmodic dysphonia, a rare condition that affects the vocal chords so that they tighten and she can’t breathe. The condition is triggered by some foods, or sometimes by saliva. The treatment is to have a muscle paralyzed by medical Botox every three months. Ward is also waiting for a hip replacement after two accidents and dealing with that pain which makes driving long distance difficult. Before she was able to have the Hope Air flights, she was spending more than $3,000 a year on air fare. She still has to pay for accommodations and the Botox, which is considered cosmetic and not a medically necessary treatment. She recalls her first Hope Air flight clearly. “We were supposed to leave at 8:30 a.m. The pilot, Braden Messenger, came from Kelowna. When he did the safety check, he found that one of the wheels had a leak. He called an aircraft mechanic from Salmon Arm who came to look at it and drove to Kelowna to get a part and came back and fixed it and then we were able to leave,” said Ward. “That’s the kind of people who are at Hope Air. How lovely is that? I was too excited to be nervous. It was a wonderful experience.” When she went to Vancouver in February, the weather was too bad to take off and she was booked on a commercial flight to get home. “That Hope Air should do this for people absolutely amazes me. The mercy of it. I don’t know what I would do without it because I couldn’t get to the treatments. Being able to get to Vancouver for the treatments is crucial to me to keep breathing. I know there are other people in the area

Leila Ward appreciates the service provided by Hope Air when she needs to get to Vancouver for medical treatment. who also use the service to get the treatment they need. I don’t know where I would be without it. I spread the word every chance I get,” said Ward. Almost half of all Hope Air flights are for children. About 30 per cent of Hope Air clients would cancel or postpone important medical care if they could not get a flight from Hope Air. Others have to make long, uncomfortable trips by car or bus to get appointments. Hope Air provided more than 6,000 flights in 2012. Hope Air is supported by donations from foundations

and corporations, as well as from individual donors. Flights are on commercial scheduled flights or on private planes with pilots who volunteer their time and their own planes. Messenger, of Kelowna, received the Distinguished Volunteer Pilot Spirit of Hope Award in 2012 in recognition of his valuable service in the air — 25 missions since 2007 — and on the ground at speaking engagements and fundraising events. “When Hope Air approached me, I thought it was pretty amazing and I wanted to get involved,” said Messenger, who has a commercial pilot’s licence and works in computer technology as program director at Accelerate Okanagan. He flies his own six-seat Beech Bonanza for Hope Air. “About 60 per cent of our clients are 15 and under and going for follow-up treatments. It would be difficult and expensive for them if they didn’t get the help. They find the flight in a small plane exciting and it gives them something else to think and talk about. Clients of all ages tell us they like the flights and that they are so appreciative of this service that is there for them,” he said. “What we want to get across is that the service is there and Canadians are benefitting from it. All the pilots involved want to do the same thing — help make people’s lives better by having the flights there for them when they need it.” Eligibility is based on financial need for people with a confirmed, approved medical appointment and a doctor’s confirmation that the patient is medically fit to fly. For more information, to request a flight or to refer someone for a flight, complete a Flight Request form at www.hopeair.ca or call 1-877-346-4673 (HOPE). nnn To help with the increasing demand for its service, Hope Air has partnered with Overwaitea Food Group and participating stores in B.C. Customers can donate their More Rewards points to Hope Air every time they shop. Whenever you accumulate 1,000 points or more on your More Rewards card, you can donate them at the check out. Each 1,000 points represents $1, which the company will match and donate to Hope Air Mission. Just tell the cashier that you want your points to go to Hope Air. In the Okanagan, participating stores include Cooper’s Foods in Winfield, Rutland and Glenmore; Save-on-Foods in Kelowna and Westbank, and Urban Fare in Kelowna. Hope Air hopes to raise $10,000 by the end of the year, which will provide 40 extra flights to people in need.

erhaps it is the upcoming election, or it is the start of the new fiscal year or spring fundraising campaign fever that has my head twirling Michele Blais with the amount of requests for new or more money, or donations to keep the doors open, do research, serve us. Those on the campaign trail are saying stay the course; raise taxes; be more efficient; more jobs means more employment taxes which means more to spend on services. Wages in some sectors may seem high, or perhaps it is the benefit and pension plans that do, or when you have to back-fill positions for medical or stress leave. And I have heard grumblings that unions make it

pital and get medical care without mortgaging our homes to do so, we like being able to send our children to the schools in our neighbourhood; to drive on paved roads; to feel secure in our homes that if we need the fire department or the police services or the ambulance they are a phone call away. We have great community services that are supported through government contracts, fundraising and volunteer support and provide a host of services. I am proud to be a Canadian and I know to enjoy the lifestyle and benefits of our Canadian life will require us to pay for it. We are the ones electing the parties that rule and if you don’t like their plans then it is up to you to change it. If you think your vote doesn’t make a difference and your neighbour and first cousin feel the same way it results in low voter turnout. Imagine what could happen if 80 per cent of the registered voters actually cast their ballot. Be part of the change you want to see.

Dispelling some of the myths of mental illness Special to The Morning Star

difficult for any efficiencies in health and education sectors. Many people fought long and hard to get unions into those organizations to bring about decent wages, and benefit plans and create safer work environments. There is no doubt that in the coming years all of us are going to need to tighten our belts, including the unions. Somewhere there is going to be a change, as it is not sustainable to be able to meet all the demands we have on our core systems of care. I don’t mean slash and burn either, or privatizing at significant wage cuts. I just mean looking at consideration given to keeping jobs and benefits, that we can do what we need to do. I am sure that people in unions would rather keep a job, than lose it to privatizing and would want that opportunity to be part of the planning. I want well-educated staff in the appropriate positions and that will come at a cost because getting to be a welleducated person comes at a cost. We all like the ability to go to a hos-

Mental Health Awareness Week wraps up today, so it is a good time to talk about mental illnesses and the people who cope with them daily. There are so many misconceptions, but people with these medical conditions are just people who want to be treated like human beings. There are three words that get thrown around when talking about people with mental illnesses which are unfair: lazy, violent,

and unintelligent. The words arise out of the myths that surround mental illness. I have been working and volunteering around people with mental illness since I took the Crisis Line training in 1983. I have coped with a mental illness since I was 11 years old, although no one including myself knew until I was 25. I have learned to manage my illness, controlling the illness and not letting it control me. Battling depression and anxiety is a difficult one, but one that can be won or at least managed to the

point you can still have a meaningfully productive life. I still reached some of my goals. The one I am most proud of is a master’s degree in clinical psychology. I hope someone who reads this is given the courage to reach their goals. It is possible. Now back to these three words. Many people believe that people with mental illnesses are lazy. I got my degree through distance learning, not by going to a university. This is not a lazy thing to do. In all my experience working with the mentally ill I have found that the hardest

thing they may have to give up is work. If one cannot go back to work there is volunteer work, which is just as valuable, and may even keep some services afloat. Lazy is an unjust description of someone with a mental illness. If you have not been there you cannot know just how difficult it is to just get out of bed. Violence has always been a misconception people have about mental illness. It is always the first thing asked when there is a violent crime, and is sensationalized by the media. Yes, some people who have a mental illness become

violent, but these are usually people who have gone off their medication and become psychotic, or they have not been diagnosed yet. Some people do not find out they are ill until they get in trouble with the law. However, the percentage of mentally ill people who become violent is the same as those who do not have such an illness. In each population, three per cent become violent. The person with the mental illness is more likely to be the victim of violence, or harm themselves. Many people with mental illnesses would put others’ well being before their own. So drop the fear and treat them like human beings. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln would not be considered unintelligent, but they all coped and managed a mental illness. Some of the most creative people have mental illnesses. There are composers, artists, actors, actresses, comedians, athletes, writers and inventors who have contributed to the world. People with mental illnesses are not stupid! Do not treat us like children, as though we can’t comprehend our treatments and our illnesses. I have lost count of how many times I have been talked down to or called a weirdo, and anyone who knows me knows I am not lazy, violent, or unintelligent.

Students hold future of music in their hands Practise makes perfect for young instrumentalists going to the Provincials Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It has taken years of devoted practise, sore fingers running up and down those unrelenting scales, constant tunings, but it’s been worth it for a group of young North Okanagan musicians. Four students of Vernon music instructors Ken and Carol Stromberg are about to haul their instruments to Chilliwack at the end of the month to compete in the Performing Arts BC Provincial Music Festival. Each musician qualified by receiving top marks in their respective divisions at various music festivals in the region. To prepare them for the Provincials, Stromberg Studio is inviting the public to an evening of musical classics performed by the award-winning musicians: violinists Alyshia Black and Nicole Michalewicz, cellist Mark Casson, and pianist Melanie Shum, Saturday at All Saints Anglican Church. The concert will feature the repertoire the students are planning to perform for the adjudicators as they compete with fellow regional winners from all over the province. Black, a 17-year-old homeschooled student from Enderby, has been playing violin for the past seven years. “I have always loved the violin,” she said, adding she will perform Max Bruch’s Concerto no. 2 in D minor and Nigun by Ernest Bloch at the Provincials and the recital. Also in the piano trio, 3tissimo,

Violinist alyshia Black, left, pianist melanie shum and cellist mark Casson, of the 3tissimo Piano trio, and violinist nicole michalewicz, far right, perform in the stromberg studio recital in Vernon saturday before they go to compete at the Provincial music Festival in Chilliwack may 26 to 30. with Shum and Casson, together they will perform Beethoven’s Sonata no. 1 Op. 1 in E flat major and Verano Porteno by Astor Piazzolla. Casson, a 19-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Spallumcheen, describes the two pieces as polar opposites. “I’m practising one-to-two hours a day in preparation for the Provincials,” he said. Studying the cello for the past 11 years, Casson started his music education with the violin at the age of five and then added the piano

when he was eight. Home schooled, along with his seven siblings, he completed his Grade 10 Royal Conservatory Music piano exam last summer, and is working on his Grade 10 RCM cello exam, which he hopes to complete next year. “What motivates me was my mother up to last year. That’s when I finally learned to appreciate music and do it because I enjoy it,” he said. Shum, a 16-year-old W.L. Seaton Secondary student who has been playing piano for approximately nine years, says her motivation is

the feedback and compliments she receives from festival adjudicators and others. “It makes me feel like all my hard work is paying off,” said Shum, who will also perform Nocturne in E-flat Major Op. 36 No. 4 by Gabriel Fauré and Toccata by Pierre Sancan as her solos. “A big part of my motivation comes from my piano teacher, Carol Stromberg. Without her help and encouragement I never would have made it this far. I would like to give a big thank you to her and Mr. Stromberg for being the best

music teachers I have ever had.” Michalewicz, who is 14 years old and in Grade 9 at Vernon Christian School, will perform the violin works of Anton Stamitz. She first started violin when she was six years old and living in Calgary. A year after moving to Vernon with her family seven years ago, she began studying with Ken Stromberg. Michalewicz has been playing in festivals for around five years and this is the first year she has been nominated to represent Kelowna at the B.C. Provincial Music Festival. She also performs at her church, school, and has been in the YSO (Youth Symphony of the Okanagan) for two seasons now. For the last two years, Michalewicz has been able to go to the Summer Strings Academy in Victoria. Last July she had the opportunity to study with Michael van der Sloot and Kathryn Ranger. The public can support these local music students at their May 18 concert at All Saints Anglican Church, located at 3205-27th St. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. and admission is by donation.

Tune in to exciting concerts

love listening to music while I work. Whether I’m designing artwork, tackling chores around the house, or even paying bills online, music just makes it all better. Whenever I’m asked what type of music I listen to, I usually can’t come up with a proper answer. I usually end up trying to answer the question with some sort of rhetorical statement about my mood or what I’m up to in a given moment. Really, I have no specific listening patterns and in most cases my preference is for a spectacularly varied mix of tunes from almost every genre under the sun. Good news for the music nuts like me is you’ve got an exciting lineup of music to find its way into your schedule over the next few weeks. It starts up this Saturday when the Vernon Jazz Club is host to the Babalu Cuban Quintet. This quintet brings a high energy night of syncopated Afro-Cuban rhythms explored through a bevy of genres including

Caetani centre offers residencies Artists and youth to benefit from programs Morning Star Staff

The Caetani Cultural Centre has announced it is offering a variety of artist residencies this summer. One, entitled Good Sports!, is a digital photo-based sports and culture-themed residency that involves a regional artist working in collaboration with youth from the Greater Vernon community. “The residencies will celebrate both art and sports as life-affirming and lifelong activities, focussing on all aspects of sports in our community: from the overall health benefits, to the joy, pain, sacrifice and gain that physical activity can provide,” said Susan Brandoli, the Caetani Centre’s new manager and artist-in-residence coordinator. Made possible with support from the Greater Vernon B.C. Winter Games Legacy Fund, the Caetani Centre will partner with local youth group to help select those who might best benefit from this program. The youth will be supplied with a digital camera that they may keep upon successful completion of the project in order to encourage a continuation of the project beyond the allotted time frame, but also to encourage a lifelong interest in photography and the arts. “The number of youths accepted is dependent upon overall funding, however, the Caetani Cultural Centre is actively seeking additional donations and/or sponsorship to help with equipment and printing costs, and to possibly increase the number of youths involved, and encourages interested individuals and companies to become involved in this worthwhile project,” said Brandoli.

The project involves completing and installing a collaborative work of art in a public sports facility location in Greater Vernon. The final installation site will be determined and selected through Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture, said Brandoli. The works in progress created by the mentoring artist and the youth will be posted on-line for the community to follow. Another four residencies are available in the Fresh!AiR program, offered by the Caetani Centre in partnership with the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. Each program is approximately four weeks in duration and one residency is available for each month of June, July, August, and September. The Okanagan is one of the three most endangered ecological regions in Canada,” said Brandoli, adding, “The ABNC collaboration is intended to serve as a catalyst in broadening and enriching community awareness and the understanding of art and sustainable biodiversity.” The residencies include a onemonth stay at the Caetani Centre and a studio space at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre. The Caetani Centre will facilitate workshops, receptions, and public programming based around the participating artist’s work. Artists-in-residence are requested to leave a piece of art reflecting regional habitat conservation issues in the community if possible. A selection committee will review and select candidates for this program and an honorarium to assist with materials and costs is available for each separate Fresh!AiR residency. Artists will be responsible for their own transportation, food and supplies. For deadlines and application information on all the residencies and programs, visit www.caetaniculturalcentre. org or call the Caetani Centre at 250275-1525.

Duo perks up coffee house Morning Star Staff

Fiddle champion Shamma Sabir and multi-instrumentalist John McMahon are the feature performers at this Saturday’s Coldstream Coffee House. “Sabir and McMahon join forces and with an energy and passion for music and songwriting in their performances. From folk to fiddle, from swing to blues – they will share their love of music and life,” said Keith Hustler, coffee house music coordinator. The eldest of the Sabir Sisters, Shamma is widely acknowledged as one of Canada’s best fiddlers. She was the first and youngest female nominee ever to be invited to the Canadian Grand Masters Championships and placed in Canada’s top 11 in Ottawa. A songwriter and composer with writing credits on many prestigious Canadian fiddler’s albums, including Calvin Vollrath and Gordon Stobbe, Sabir’s heartfelt bluesy vocals, combined with her fiddle, mandolin and cello give the group a folk/roots flavour that places them in a musical sphere of their own. McMahon has taught music in schools across the province and continues to pursue his passion for songwriting and performance. Musical accomplishments have included writing a song for the Philadelphia Flyers NHL team to studio work on a variety of artists’ compositions.

McMahon holds a bachelor of music on viola from the University of British Columbia and plays a variety of musical instruments – violin, viola, guitar, bass and mandolin. Saturday’s Coldstream Coffee House takes place at the Coldstream

Women’s Institute Hall, 9909 Kalamalka Lake Rd. The open mic portion of the evening, showcasing a variety of great local talent, will precede the feature performance. Admission is $5 with a concession by donation. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and show starts at 7 p.m.

If you or someone close to you has a mental health problem, seek help. Much information in available on-line at: www.cmha.ca. Home pregnancy kits are much more dependable today than a few years ago. Manufacturers claim 99% accuracy. For most accurate results, wait until one week after a missed menstrual period. These kits detect a hormone in the urine.

Kal Tire gets innovative Morning Star Staff

Kal Tire’s innovative management programs have earned the company some recognition from the B.C. Human Resources Management Association. The Vernon-based firm collected the Award of Excellence: Innovation, which recognizes an individual or team that has successfully implemented an innovative and progressive program to a new or ongoing HR challenge or opportunity. Kal Tire’s best careers program has helped it keep up with rapid growth over the past five years. Partnering with Harvard University and The Karmichael Group of West Vancouver, they developed a series of management certification programs that were launched in 2008. The company now has 5,000 employees and 240 store locations in 19 countries. It’s multi-lingual management certification programs led to a pipeline of skilled managers qualified to run their network of stores. Coupled with a pay-for-knowledge structure, which awards team members on a career track for management, and certified managers with compensation increases, the mentoring store also receives compensation for every manager certified and placed in a new role. These incentives are meant to create store- and organizational-wide commitment to learning, whether leaders are in Vernon or Mozambique.

Green scheme backs sustainable practice Morning Star Staff

Local tourism operators looking to learn green business practices have a new option with the green tourism business scheme. The international program, which launched out of the U.K., teaches businesses better, more sustainable ways of running their tourism business. Worldwide, more than 2,400 companies are certified, including 29 in B.C. The Canadian arm of the scheme has partnered with Kelowna’s Green Step Solutions to roll it out for local operators. The first assessments will be completed this June. Green tourism promotes sustainable business practice in many ways. One is to make everyday operations within different businesses more environmentally friendly and supportable, while others include incorporating entirely new practices. An example of this is the Vancouver Public Library, which announced a strategic plan to make its formerly dead and sterile rooftop into a series of gardens. The first step in the program is an assessment of a business to see what existing practices are and what changes are necessary and practical.

Enactus Okanagan College students celebrate their fourth consecutive win in the national Help Hunger Disappear Challenge.

Enactus in national spotlight Morning Star Staff

For the fourth year in a row, Enactus Okanagan College has won the Enactus national exposition and was crowned the country’s 2013 Help Hunger Disappear champion. The Okanagan College entry is the only Enactus team in Canada to win the challenge, which was created four years ago with support from Campbell Company of Canada. The team collected its award Tuesday night in Toronto, where they are vying for three additional national honours in the entrepreneurship challenge, EcoLiving green challenge and top overall national team. “The Enactus Okanagan College team stood out again this year for their continued teamwork and commitment to

lasting hunger solutions in their community,” said Mark Childs, vice-president of marketing, Campbell’s. “Their boundless energy, passion and creativity continue to impress – they are truly role models for us all.” The Okanagan College team was recognized for its work to raise more than 54,000 pounds of food for food banks throughout the region. Creating and delivering 11 hunger relief initiatives, the Enactus students implemented projects in Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton. Their projects ranged from the Farm Bag Fundraiser, in which the students work with local farmers to distribute local produce, making farming more viable and sustainable through a franchisable model, to MOMentum, which empowers

single mothers with information about how to cook healthy and affordable meals and connects them with financial skills to better manage their lives. “Everyone at Okanagan College is extremely proud of the good work our students are doing to transform their communities,” said college president Jim Hamilton. “It is certainly an honour to win this award for the fourth year in a row, but more important than the award is the collaboration and support our students receive from the many organizations, schools and non-profits they work with to develop their hunger relief projects. Partnerships of this kind are incredibly important to their education and to creating sustainable long-term change in our communities.”

Armstrong and Salmon Arm. “The overall business plan is to leverage off the brand name that has been built over all these years,” said Brousseau. “We see the sauce company as a natural extension of our growth strategy. “We have not come across anything like our brand and are happy to go out and compete with any current sauces you see in the local stores.”

So far, the Italian Kitchen line includes tomato basil, zesty tomato and roasted garlic sauces. They are produced and packaged locally. Bellamy, who owns Vernon’s UPS Store, is handling the printing and packaging for the sauces. Marketing and design is being handled by Vernon’s Bold Media, while Michael Collins has been appointed head of sales.

Italian Kitchen launches sauce line Morning Star Staff

The Italian Kitchen is making the leap from restaurant tables to grocery shelves. The Vernon restaurant, co-owned by Brad Brousseau and Katie Bellamy, has launched its own label of cooking sauces under the name Italian Kitchen Sauce Company. The sauces are currently available at Butcher Boys in Vernon and at Askew’s in

Retirement goals

or many business owners, their business is their main retirement asset. However, you may have other plans for your business, such as passing it onto a family member. Or perhaps you will need assets above and beyond your business to fund your desired retirement lifestyle. Whatever your situation, it makes sense to ensure that you will have enough to fund your retirement, whether it’s from selling your business, drawing income from other sources such as your registered plans, or receiving an inheritance. A comprehensive financial plan can help you determine if you will have sufficient funding for retirement, and if not, recommend the steps you need to take to ensure that you will. It’s especially important given the new challenges that retirees now Kirbey Lockhart face, including low interest rates, high taxes and inflation. New retirement income challenges – In the past, you could simply put your retirement savings in guaranteed investments like GICs and bonds, confident that the interest payments would fund your golden years. But several factors have combined to make this strategy unfeasible for most retirees. First, people are living longer after they retire. Thirty years ago, people generally only lived for a few years after retiring at age 65. But now, people on average can expect to live nearly 19 years after retirement at age 65, meaning their retirement nest eggs will need to last that much longer. Retirees are also living healthier, more active lifestyles, which tend to cost more than simply sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair. Today’s retiree also expects a higher standard of living. They want to enjoy the good life, which also comes with a financial cost. With these two demographic trends – longer

life spans and higher lifestyle expectations – it is becoming increasingly difficult to generate a sufficient income from the traditional interest-bearing investments, such as GICs and bonds. As of mid-2007, interest rates have remained at historic lows. Furthermore, interest income is fully taxable at your marginal tax rate, unlike many other types of investment income. And inflation erodes what little purchasing power you have left. Most people approaching retirement share these same challenges, regardless of whether or not they own a business. But if you are a business owner, you have the added challenge of figuring out what to do with your business when you retire. Do you plan to sell it? If so, how much will it be worth when you retire, and will that be sufficient to fund your retirement? What are the best strategies for selling your business? Or do you plan to pass on your business to family members, and draw on other income sources? If so, do you have enough? What strategies can you use to maximize your retirement income? A plan for you, and your business – When the time is right for you to transition from your successful business to the retirement of your dreams, there are a number of issues you need to consider. A comprehensive plan can help you with: Transitioning your business – protecting your income stream. Effective cash management – giving you the time you need to weigh your long-term investment options. Investment options and advice – to help you choose a solution that fits your new lifestyle and protects your wealth. Tax strategies – that maximize the after-tax sale revenue to give you more options in the future. Kirbey Lockart is an investment advisor with RBC Dominion Securities.

Predator Ridge Resort has topped a provincial poll as B.C.’s best golf course. The Ridge Course, which opened in 2010, was selected as best public facility in province by the Vancouver Sun’s Best of B.C. golf panel. “The Ridge Course at Predator is visually stunning, eminently playable and just pure fun, and that is what golf is all about in British Columbia,” said panel member Kris Jonasson, executive director of B.C. Golf. “It combines the best of meadows, woodlands and mountain terrains with outstanding lake views to create a memorable day. The weather is generally exceptional and in my mind it is the must-play course in B.C.” Predator finished second to Big Sky in Pemberton in a similar survey in 2009. This year, the two courses swapped places. The 12 panel members were each asked to submit their own top 10 lists, and through a points system an overall top-10 was compiled. Predator received more first-place votes (three) than any other course. “I chose Predator Ridge as my No. 1 because it offers the complete package – a gorgeous layout, great conditions, top service and expansive patios in one of the most beautiful regions of the province,” said panelist Holly Horwood, a two-time B.C. senior women’s champion. Added Brad Pelletier, who runs the facility for the owner, Vancouver-based Wesbild Holdings Ltd: “The Ridge Course is a perfect complement to the existing Predator Course. “Very infrequently with a site that has significant elevation change are you able to deliver a very playable golf course. I think that is what (course designer) Doug Carrick has achieved. It offers that unique B.C. setting with an experience that isn’t going to beat you up.”

would have been filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder, a haze of smoke, and the boom of cannon. Were I a French soldier, I’d have stood facing row upon row of the enemy as they advanced inexorably step by step, holding their musket fire until they were within a mere 20 yards away from me. And then, it would all have been over in a scant 15 minutes — us French routed in disarray, and the Redcoats victorious and pressing on towards the city of Quebec. Today, however, it is windy and chilly on the Plains of Abraham, and Battlefields Park is empty except for a lone raven ruffling his wet feathers as he perches on the signpost that marks the spot where the history of Quebec changed forever. Although the English were victorious, the price was heavy. At the battlefield, a few feet apart from each other are two tablets both dated Sept. 13, 1759. One reads, “Here on the very eve of victo-

(perhaps the only one of its kind in the world) that celebrates both the winner and the loser of such a strategic battle. Other than a shortlived, abortive attempt by the French to recapture Quebec in the Battle of Sainte-Foy, the English were firmly in possession of Quebec City. Four years later, in

1763, the Treaty of Paris sealed their sovereignty of the province. France decided to cede their wild, bitterly cold and inhospitable territories in Canada to the British, in exchange for Guadaloupe in the Caribbean. Apparently Voltaire was so delighted at this outcome that he threw a lavish party to celebrate the event. But that wasn’t the end of the story. The British, jittery at possibility of an invasion from the Americans following their War of Independence, decided to fortify Quebec to the teeth. At Battlefields Park, I brave blustery winds as I follow my guide — charmingly dressed in period costume — into one of the fat sausagelike Martello round towers, once occupied by 12 soldiers. The lower floor was a storage facility with barrels of dynamite, water cisterns and provisions, while the top floor with its cannon embrasures and slit windows, muskets and

cannonballs stood in readiness for action. As it turned out, however, the Americans decided that discretion was the better part of valour. They never showed up, and none of the four Martello towers in Battlefields Park were ever ‘bloodied’ in battle. While Martello Tower 1 displays historical memorabilia, nearby Martello Tower 2 plays host to entertaining and interactive stage shows — a dramatic clash between Montcalm and Wolfe, or portrayals of the lifestyle of soldiers stationed in the Martello Towers during the war of 1812. Old Quebec bills itself as the only fortified city in North America, and the following day, I join a group tour along the perimeter of the Citadel. In the erratic bursts of tea-coloured sunlight, a few brave little sailboats, drift like bits of confetti across the St. Lawrence River. The Citadel’s defensive masonry walls were built at the direction of Comte de Frontenac, the flamboyant socialite governor of Quebec in the late 1600s. He had reason for concern. The English were eyeing Quebec as a strategic stronghold. Frontenac’s response to Sir William Phips’ attempt at establishing diplomatic relations was a blunt, “Tell your general the only answer I will give him, will come from the mouth of my cannon.” Fortunately he didn’t live to see the outcome of the battle on the Plains of Abraham half a century later. Today, the Citadel is the home station of the Royal 22e Regiment of the Canadian Forces. It is also an official residence of the governor general of Canada. Margaret Deefholts is with Travel Writers’ Tales, an independent newspaper syndicate.

Plan filed for gas plant tom fletcher Black Press

As the debate over natural gas development dominates the B.C. election campaign, British Gas Group has filed a project description for its proposed liquefied natural gas plant on Ridley Island at the Port of Prince Rupert. One of the largest of five export proposals in the works for B.C.’s North Coast, Prince Rupert LNG proposes to build three production trains with a total capacity of 21 million tonnes per year, to be shipped in specialized tankers to buyers on the Pacific Rim. BG Group has a development agreement with Spectra Energy for a pipeline to bring gas from northeastern B.C. to the coast. Spectra’s Fort Nelson gas processing plant and the Prince Rupert and Kitimat areas were campaign stops for Premier Christy Clark, as she continues to promote LNG development as the key to prosperity for the province. The NDP again stressed its support for LNG development, rejecting B.C. Liberal suggestions

that its scientific review of shale gas drilling would disrupt industry expansion plans. The proposal calls for natural gas-fired electricity generation to supply the plant, with gas-powered mechanical drives to run the liquefaction refrigeration compressors. Powering LNG development has been controversial, with aboriginal groups in the region opposed to projects that pollute the air and leave obsolette infrastructure after gas production ends. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency must decide if a federal assessment of the project is needed, or if a provincial permit is sufficient. Prince Rupert LNG’s project description calls for a two-phase development, with the first phase of two LNG trains that would fill three to four ships per week. A third train would be added later, bringing output up to five to six LNG tankers per week.

Bridge by Phillip Alder

CHECK THE LEAD TO GUIDE THE DEFENSE Neil Armstrong, in a graduation speech at the University of Southern California in 2005, said, “I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion.” At the bridge table, the use of logic should lead to the correct conclusion. In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart seven: nine, ace, eight. What should East do next? First, let’s have East check the high-card points -- our theme for the week. South showed 15 to 17, dummy has 10, and East holds nine. That

leaves four to six points for West. Next, it is common in notrump to return partner’s lead, and many players would lead back the heart jack without further thought. Here, South would gallop home with at least one overtrick. East should also read the lead; what can he learn about his partner’s heart holding? Usually, West would lead fourth-highest from his longest and strongest. So East should apply the Rule of Eleven. Seven from 11 is four. This means that there should be four hearts higher than the seven in the North, East and South hands combined. But at the first trick, East saw five higher hearts: dummy’s nine and 10, his ace and jack, and South’s

eight. West cannot have led fourth-highest. Instead, logic says that the heart seven must have been top of nothing. If South has the heart king and queen, there is no logic in returning that suit. Instead, East should shift to the spade queen. Here, that works beautifully, gaining the first five tricks for the defense.

Oscar Eugene Bedard It is with great sadness that we announce that Oscar Bedard lost his brave Įght with leukemia at the age of 71 years. Oscar’s life ended peacefully on Sunday, May 5th, 2013 with his family by his side. It is hard to adequately describe Oscar’s impact on this world. If you ask him about his career, he would say he was a teacher despite the fact he was an administrator much longer than a teacher. This is indeed an accurate portrayal of his life. Those of us lucky enough to have come into contact with him always learned and were oŌen inspired. His footprint is indeed large and he will live on in the hearts of all he touched. Oscar will be lovingly remembered by his wife Eve, his four children and their spouses; David and Carla, Gordon and Natasha, Kelly and John and Greg and Melissa, his siǆ grandchildren; Tyler, Kasey, Aleǆ, Ava, Naoka and Yuinn along with numerous eǆtended family members and friends. In a world too focused on personal gain, Oscar was a non-ũudgemental supporter of all. He was an outstanding husband, dad, grandpa and friend. Our tremendous grief is outweighed only by our endless wonderful memories.

As an eǆpression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donaƟons in memory of Oscar to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada P.O. Boǆ 1242, StaƟon K, Toronto, Ontario M4P 9 9.
