VJH opens doors for medical students RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

New facilities at Vernon Jubilee Hospital could alleviate the North Okanagan’s doctor shortage. Renovated medical school space was unveiled on the fifth floor of the Polson Tower Friday. “We hope they will stay and practise and call this region home,” said Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, of the students in the University of B.C.’s southern medical program. And that is certainly something Julia Hassler is considering. “I love Vernon, I’m sold,” said the third-year medical student who is from Saskatchewan. Staying here could become more likely if Hassler ultimately becomes a family doctor, but she may have to move elsewhere if she specializes in obstetrics. The new academic space features centralized education areas, a clinical skills room and two video conferencing rooms. “It’s nice to have a place to study,” said Erin Charman, a third-year medical student from Castlegar. “It’s easier to be here when things come up.” And while they are students, Hassler and Charman both put in a lot of hours at VJH and also find themselves on-call. “The doctors here are really great and get us involved (in cases),” said Charman. More than 40 students a year will go through the medical school

reminds people (health care professionals) to be compassionate with patients.” The space also has an on-call sleep area and lockers for students

completing their clinical training, and the lounge has proven popular. “We can look up patient charts or do dictation,” said Hassler of the

computers in the lounge. Construction and equipment for the medical school space cost $983,000 and was funded by the Ministry of Health.

Dueck honoured with Sport B.C. athlete award

Morning Star Staff

Josh Dueck’s trophy case keeps getting bigger. The Vernon Paralympian was named winner of the Athlete with a Disability category at the 49th Annual Athlete of the Year Awards hosted by Sport B.C. Thursday in Josh Dueck Vancouver.

Dueck, newly retired from Para-alpine ski racing, won gold and silver medals at the 2014 Sochi (Russia) Paralympics, adding to a silver he won at the Vancouver Paralympics in 2010. “What an absolute honour it is to be named B.C. athlete of the year,” said Dueck. “The evening itself was a spectacular celebration of community and sport. To be recognized by this audience of sport leaders, and to follow in the footsteps of other sporting giants, is surreal. My career

and successes are deeply influenced by my friends, family and the community at large.” Dueck brought world attention to sitskiing when he became the first person to perform a back-flip on snow in a sit-ski in 2012, followed by an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres television show. Spallumcheen Paralympic wheelchair curling gold medalist and world champion Ina Forrest was a finalist in the same category. Para-alpine athlete Kimberly Joines

of Rossland, a bronze medalist in Sochi, was named winner of the Harry Jerome Comeback Award. Joines has accumulated 42 World Cup medals, including World Cup Champion titles, and 32 broken bones in her career. She came back from devastating injuries suffered in a training event at Sochi to register four podium finishes before the bronze in Sochi, and was crowned 2014 national champion in Whistler a few weeks later.

The cat came back, with help Morning Star Staff

After being missing for over a week, Michael and Lynn Mears were overjoyed to find their cat. Unfortunately she was stuck up a tree and wouldn’t come down. “Our cat was missing for nine days when a couple of alert and car— Mears ing neighbours spotted her very high up in a tree in the ravine along Vernon Creek,” said the Mears. The terrain was too rough for vehicles with ladders, and even after hours of waiting and coaxing, the cat appeared too nervous to come down. “Our only hope was for someone to climb up but it seemed like a mission impossible. “Luckily ArborCare has a skilled and compassionate employee who made the feat seem effortless.” Andrew Richard, of ArborCare Tree Service, scaled the tree and came to the rescue of the cat, Johnny Winter.

“It seemed like a mission impossible.”

Warm weather raises concerns for water supply levels Morning Star Staff

There is growing concern about Greater Vernon’s water supply. Snowpack readings were taken by Greater Vernon Water March 1 at three monitoring stations near the Duteau Creek reservoirs. “These readings show the snow water equivalent, or water Jennifer Miles content of the snow, at 30 per cent to 114 per cent of average for this time of year,” said Jennifer Miles, water sustainability coordinator. “These are unusual readings showing

high variability within the watershed. These results are comparable to sites in neighbouring watersheds, Oyama Lake and Postill, which show a range of 53 per cent to 86 per cent of average snow water content.” According to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, March high elevation snowpack measurements were at 85 per cent of normal for the Okanagan basin, which includes the Kalamalka Lake water source. The South Thompson basin, which includes the Duteau Creek water reservoirs, is at 91 per cent of normal. The centre also forecasts below normal stream run-off in the Okanagan and Kalamalka-Wood basins. The combined results from GVW and the B.C. River Forecast Centre indicate a slightly

below average snow pack. “GVW water storage levels in the Duteau Creek Reservoirs are currently above average,” said Miles. “The current levels are similar to levels normally seen in mid-April.” Low flows are expected to occur earlier than normal this year and low flows may occur in the summer unless significant rainfall occurs. “The centre also reports that seasonal forecasts from Environment Canada indicate a high likelihood of above normal temperatures during the period of March to May,” said Miles. “This may increase water demand so GVW reminds customers to use water wisely. Tips on how to irrigate efficiently and

maintain a waterwise yard are available at www.rdno.ca/waterwise.” Miles added that GVW will continue to monitor climate trends and water supplies.

Sacht also points to the lack of a crosswalk on School Road at the intersection of Highway 6. “You hope for the best to get across there,” she said of the route which many school children have to take. Although the school has been at its location since 1892 (the Tolko planer mill opened in 1956), nothing has been done to improve the situation. “All this change has happened but there’s no change that has happened to increase safety for school children,” said Sacht. While safety is a prime concern, beautifacation and buffering is another. “We have mud, potholes, standing water, and it’s been this way for many years. “This does not say ‘Welcome’ to me.” With Pinnacle’s pellet plant moving in, Sacht hopes it

might add to some of the area improvements. There’s also a lack of trees around the school. “We have no buffering whatsoever for the children playing in this playground.” Some trees were recently removed, but Garlick said they are being replaced. Coun. Gyula Kiss admits the situation in the area is not ideal. “It’s unfortunate that we’ve had the original exposure of the industrial area so close to the school.” Sacht also highlighted concerns about evacuation procedures, following the gas leak in November which forced evacuation in the Lavington town centre area. District of Coldstream staff will be investigating what evacuation plans there are, and will also be looking into establishing an anti-idling bylaw.

Coldstream residents are hopeful they can stay in their community as age forces them out of home. With zero residential care beds in the district, Coldstream Meadows is hoping to give the approximately 10,000 residents an option close to home. Although the Jack Borden private care facility offers care options to those who can afford it, Coldstream Meadows has long been seeking the opportunity to add to its offerings with the publicly subsidized option. The Interior Health Authority has

“Over 60 (full-time equivalent) positions from the day of opening providing full and part-time employment for up to 90 employees with full union wages and benefits,” said Borden, in his list of benefits. There’s also tax dollars, DCCs, utility fees and more. The District of Coldstream is sending a letter in support of Coldstream Meadow’s application. “Now there’s an opportunity to have it materialize and I think it should,” said Coun. Gyula Kiss. “I have had the opportunity, unfortunately, of having two of my friends need this kind of care... There is very much a shortage of these care facilities.” IHA anticipates the contract will be awarded in June with construction estimated to begin in the fall.

plans to create 85 new residential care beds in the Vernon area. “Coldstream’s unique aging population needs this facility and needs this facility now,” said Jack Borden, Coldstream Meadows owner, in a presentation to district council. “Currently all Coldstream residents requiring complex residential care must relocate to Vernon or some other community. This is just not fair to our residents and their families.” That’s where the Aberdeen Manor, a proposed 85-care bed facility at Coldstream Meadows, could make all the difference for residents. Along with providing care, the development would benefit the community (which lost a major employer with the closure of the glass plant in 2008) with jobs in both construction and care.

The District of Lake Country has launched a webpage, complete with links to social media sites, for the April 25 rail corridor referendum. “With more and more residents turning

to the Internet for their news, social media is a great way to stay up-todate or engage with the process,” Willene Perez, deputy chief election officer. “We want to provide residents easy access to voting information

and encourage them to find out more about the Okanagan Rail Corridor acquisition.” The district has set up a 2015 Referendum webpage, an Okanagan Rail Corridor webpage and will use the district Facebook page and

Twitter feed to provide details. The website and QuickLinks can be found at lakecountry. bc.ca. “Ensuring our residents have access to accurate information is important for the referendum process,” said

Job losses at Salvation Army RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The Salvation Army is saying little about restructuring in Vernon. It’s believed five positions will be eliminated as part of changes at the organization, which operates a food bank and thrift stores. David MacBain “I’m not sure how many positions are impacted but there are staffing changes,”

said Lauren Chan, the communications director for the Salvation Army’s B.C. division. No details are also being provided on specific positions because labour issues are confidential. “We aren’t in a position to comment on that,” said Chan. However, The Morning Star has confirmed that among those impacted is David MacBain, community ministries director since 1999. The Salvation Army announced structural changes in February because of steady public demand for services and

financial instability. It costs about $500,000 annually to operate the food bank, with most of that money coming from donations and the thrift stores. Despite the restructuring, Chan insists the Salvation Army remains committed to helping residents in need in Greater Vernon. “We are still serving the community. There will be no significant changes in services,” she said, adding that the goal is to focus on core programs. “We’re looking at sustainability and a model that will serve the community.”

No consensus on water meter grant RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There was no consensus among Vernon politicians when it came to pursuing funding. A motion to support the Regional District of North Okanagan’s bid for a federal grant died in a 2-2 tie Monday. “It doesn’t make much sense,” said Coun. Bob Spiers who opposed the motion with Coun. Catherine Lord. RDNO wants the federal grant to install water meters that can be read by radio frequency. Spiers says if the grant pro-

“There will be savings of $250,000.” — Scott Anderson

ceeds, RDNO’s portion would be $800,000 and the city will contribute most of that. “We will be on the hook for $560,000 to no benefit of Vernon customers,” he said. “The ones in Vernon don’t have to be done.” However, support for the meters came from Councillors

Scott Anderson and Dalvir Nahal. “There will be savings of $250,000 annually in operating costs,” said Anderson of the meters reducing physical workload. “It’s something in the longterm that will save us money.” Staff had expressed concern

that RDNO’s grant application may create competition for the city’s own federal grant application for sewer extension. “A community can only submit one application,” said Will Pearce, chief administrative officer, adding that he’s not sure if RDNO is considered a separate community. “We should protect our application for the extension of sewer services.” A tie vote occurred because Mayor Akbal Mund and Councillors Juliette Cunningham and Brian Quiring were absent from council Monday.

Lumby park under review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Some enhancements could ultimately occur at a Lumby park. Staff at the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee have been directed to consider short-term upgrades to Cedar Ridge Park. “There could be improvements to play features and there is interest in continuing to exercise dogs in the park,” said Tannis Nelson, communiTannis Nelson ty development co-ordinator. Other possible options are picnic tables and benches. “If we have equipment sitting in storage, we will look to do that and there are no budget implications for 2015,” said Nelson. A review of Cedar Ridge Park comes after a survey asked residents what they would like there. “We were somewhat disappointed with the turnout. There were 15 responses out of 91,” said Rick Fairbairn, chairperson. Staff will also put together costs for a long-term

concept plan and this item will be considered as part of WVPRCAC’s 2016 budget process. If major changes are possible for the park, there will be public consultation. “Because of the low survey response, we don’t want to consider that the final say,” said Nelson. Museum seeks funding The Lumby Museum wants to ensure the integrity of its artifacts. The White Valley, Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee will write a letter of support for the museum, which wants to install a concrete floor in the outdoor exhibit area. “They will apply for a senior government grant,” said Rick Fairbairn, WVPRCAC chairperson. More time for grants Lumby and Cherryville groups seeking assistance will have more time. The White Valley, Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee will add a second intake for grant applications to help cover fees for facilities. “Some organizations don’t have time to meet the September deadline,” said Tannis Nelson, community development co-ordinator. Beyond the existing Sept. 30 deadline, grant applications can also be submitted by April 30.

Internet gives access to scammers Editor’s note: March Is Fraud Awareness Month. The Vernon Community Policing Office is doing a series of articles this month alerting residents to the numerous scams going around on a daily basis. Today’s topic: Internet fraud; phishing and malicious software

RACHAEL ZUBICK For The Morning Star The Internet has made it possible to communicate with friends and family scattered across the world without worrying about poor line connections or the huge cost of an overseas phone call. Having a computer, tablet, or smart phone connected to the Internet through a dedicated line or Wi-Fi lets us shop, do our banking and pay bills without leaving the house or in the comfort of an easy chair in a coffee shop. Being connected and accessible has never been so simple. Sadly, because we are so accessible, Internet scammers know how easy it is to get to us. Scammers use the Internet to trick unsuspecting users into providing information such

as e-mail and home address, phone number, age, full name and in some cases banking information and social Insurance numbers. They do it so they can steal your money and/or your identity. How they do it: Phishing scams – Scammers send e-mail that looks like it is from a legitimate business or corporation such as a bank, BC Hydro or Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The letter may ask the user to confirm their personal information, or click a link or “pop-up” (a widow that suddenly appears on your screen) that leads to another official looking form that asks you to fill in personal and banking information and/or your SIN number. The letter may contain a threat that says that you MUST reply within a specific time or your account will be cancelled or frozen. Malicious Software – There are many types of malicious software; spyware, malware, Trojan horse, key loggers....the list goes on. The purpose is to allow the scammer

Mayor named to advisory board Morning Star Staff

A North Okanagan politician will provide advice to the provincial government on rural issues. Chris Pieper, Armstrong mayor, has been appointed to the new Rural Advisory Council. “There are promising economic opportunities on the horizon for B.C. and we want to ensure that small and rural communities share fully in the benefits,” said Steve Thomson, forests minister. The 14 individuals come Chris Pieper from different areas of the province.

The mandate of the council is to provide input to government policy decisions to best support rural communities, while keeping in mind government’s mandate of a balanced budget. The initial focus for the council will be to provide advice on rural economic development, including rural access to capital and business development support for rural entrepreneurs and businesses. Members are expected to meet on a quarterly basis, with the first meeting being held March 26 to 27 in Victoria. “There is a lot to be said in favour of taking a collaborative approach, and the Rural Advisory Council will be helpful in that endeavour,” said Donna Barnett, parliamentary secretary.

The decompression table is a powerful tool to help with pain relief, decrease nerve tension, and stretch out back and neck muscles that are in spasm. Listen to what our patients have to say: “The difference in my quality of life is incredible; it’s like I have my life back.” - Helen R. “Decompression therapy has given me a new outlook towards life without pain.” - Patricia I. “I recommend treatment to anyone who has had back and neck issues.” - Sherry S.

I

A case of cabin fever

saw the first sign of spring today. A robin. It was dead in a snowdrift, frozen solid as a TV dinner. I saw it while I shoveled the driveway yesterday. Then, sometime during the night, the town snowplow went down the road and made a two-foot pile of icy sludge across the driveway entrance. It froze into a wall harder than rock, trapping us once again in our house for the next few days. It is so hard that they call it “snowcrete” and it takes a jackhammer to break it down. I had to shovel the walk, too, because none of the neighborhood kids do that kind of thing anymore. I don’t think I could afford them if they did. Jim Mullen What do you pay someone to shovel your walk now? $25? $250? $2,500? The kids in our neighborhood don’t seem to need any money; they have better toys than Sue and I have. While I’m a heart attack waiting to happen shoveling snow, they’re ordering delivery pizzas on their iPhones. We had just gotten another 250 gallons of heating oil delivered, which we hope will get us through till April. Thank goodness the price of heating oil is down this year. It’s now an arm and a leg a gallon, down from two arms and two legs. Sue says we should put in a wood stove to save on oil. I say we should move to someplace warm to save on oil. But then we got a phone call from Winnie, who lives someplace warm. She said it’s colder there than it is here. And she’s running out of firewood. Like everyone else, we have cabin fever. We’re snapping at each other over the tiniest things — like who should call the electric company when the power goes out. Or who should call the plumber when the pipes freeze. Or who should shovel the walk and start the car on the coldest mornings.

VILLAGE IDIOT

“I did it last time. It’s your turn!” “Really. How childish that sounds coming from a grown woman. As if a marriage is based on stupid little things like how many times somebody does one thing and how many times someone else does another. We’re bigger than that.” “Fine. I’ll call them. You can call the hotel where you’ll be sleeping tonight.” Where’s the love? Of course we are going crazy. We’ve been trapped in our house all winter long with nothing but a few large-screen TVs, hundreds of channels, Netflix, a ton of video games, the Internet, stacks of books and a pantry full of food. As you can imagine, it’s been a nightmare. We want to watch something, but not that something. We want to eat something, but not that something. We want to read something, but not that something. There’s nothing to do, except complain about the weather. And now we’re sick of each other complaining about the weather. We never seem to feel warm. It’s as if our internal thermostats are set to 55 degrees and are impossible to turn up. I wear three sweaters and my fingers are still cold. But as the dead robin signaled, spring is a-coming. So I went to the store to buy a spring snow shovel and some spring deicer, but they were all out. Where the winter stuff used to be was now full of garden stuff. The place was jam-packed with lawn furniture and patio sets with big, shady umbrellas and pool toys, hammocks, gardening tools, bug zappers, citronella torches and beverage coolers, but no one was buying it. There were a few employees warming their hands over a demonstration model grill, but no customers were around. The customers were all in the auto department buying the few spring snow tires still in stock. Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.

The future of health care in the North Okanagan may exist in a classroom. On Friday, the University of B.C. Southern Medical Program and the Interior Health Authority officially opened medical school space at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. There, students will gain hands-on experience as they move towards a medical degree. But beyond providing these young men and women with direction in their careers, there is the hope that the medical school space will partially address the long-standing shortage of physicians in the North Okanagan. Currently, thousands of Greater Vernon residents are without a family physician and anyone who has stood in line for hours at a walk-in clinic has faced that situation first hand. And the problem is even more severe in communities like Armstrong and Enderby where concerted campaigns to attract new physicians have met with limited success. There is also the case that the North Okanagan has experienced challenges attracting key medical specialists. Through their studies at the medical school, hopefully the students will have an opportunity to explore the North Okanagan and its outstanding lifestyle, and perhaps even have a chance to live here and develop relationships with the residents. Once they graduate and are looking for a community to establish a practice in, the North Okanagan may rise to the top of the list. Only good can come from having a medical training facility right here at home.

B.C. hunters deserve better treatment

T

his is an open letter to MLA Eric Foster. My name is Dena Sharkey and I'm a resident hunter. I have lived in Vernon for 36 years and I hunt to provide hormone and antibiotic-free, organic meat to my family. The recent changes to the limited entry hunting (LEH) allocations have now made it more difficult to provide for my family. I am not a trophy hunter by any means. I apply for certain limited entry draws on a yearly basis, in order for a greater chance at filling my freezer. I have never been drawn. Had I been drawn for moose or mule deer doe this past fall, I'd have been able to cut my tags and wrap up my hunting season as early as October of this year. But because I had to keep hunting until I could put meat in my freezer, I hunted through to December. With the new proposed allocations, there will be even fewer opportunities for me and my fellow hunters in the area, as the provincial government has decided

SOME DISCRETION PLEASE As a neighbour of Ms. Francis' mother, I for one cannot imagine why anyone would have complained to bylaw about Mrs. Francis and her dog walking on the beach. The entire neighbourhood has seen this wonderful woman and her well behaved dog walking the same route for years and have defended her when stopped by bylaw officers in the past. How sad that in this small community, a 90-year-old woman would become a target for a bylaw officer enforcing a rule that, in truth, is meant to keep the dogs off the beach in the overpopulated summer months. I have also witnessed her trying to avoid the beach and take her dog up the pathway that is connected to the Kal Beach parking lot. This pathway is extremely icy in the winter yet I have seen her try to negotiate it. That to me is crazy when she has a perfectly flat, safe area with which to let her dog off to run.

to give more LEH tags to foreign trophy hunters via allocations to guide outfitters. This is incredibly unfair. The foreign hunters are unable to even keep the meat from the animals they kill. They are simply

She is diligent in picking up after her dog and I see no reason why she cannot be allowed to have access to an area where she can safely walk and has been for years. While I don't agree that it should be made an off-leash area, I believe there should be an exception made for Mrs. Francis. Although most dog owners are as diligent as Mrs. Francis, there are those who are completely disrespectful by not picking up after their dogs. They are the ones who create the fire storm of controversy regarding on and off-leash areas and quite literally ruin it for responsible dog owners. I would love to see bylaw target and ticket those dog owners. Just think of the money to be made there. I find it difficult to believe this has even become an issue for this woman. Could there not be some discretion used by the bylaw officers? And if they are responding to a complaint, could they not use some diplomacy on the part of

out there to put a trophy on their wall. I fail to see how this benefits B.C. residents in any way, shape or form. I ask you, please. Reconsider this decision. Talk to Forests Minister Steve Thomson

and ask him to reconsider this decision. Talk to Premier Clark and ask her to reconsider this decision. If you want statistics, I'd love a chance to sit down with you and show you those numbers. I would like to know your position on this matter, as it does matter to well over 100,000 hunters in this province. I am not alone. Please let me know what you are doing with regards to this matter. If nothing, then just let me know you aren't doing anything so I can pursue this elsewhere. Again Mr. Foster, do you think this is fair? How is this going to benefit me, and the other 102,000-plus hunters in this province? Please give me some insight on this being 'the right thing to do'. Again, I cross my fingers and hope you will at least acknowledge my letter and maybe even answer. One can dream. Dena Sharkey

Mrs. Francis to mitigate the situation? Others have and do use the beach in the winter months for walking their dogs and it has never become a community hot topic. With a bit of discretion used by bylaw officers and common sense use of the beach by the community, it shouldn't become a bone of contention for anyone. As for Mrs. Francis and her dog, can we not make an exception? Leanne Knowles

I challenge her to try and walk with a cane and try to keep her balance. I wouldn't mind if she wasn't so cocky about the budget being balanced. When she made her trip to India, she should have taken me along as I understand my leg could have been fixed there with very little waiting time. Actually her air trip could have paid for the operation anywhere but Canada. Judy Vandergucht

PROVINCIAL BUDGET I am sure that Christy Clark is very happy to present us with a balanced budget. Of course she doesn't indicate what cuts had to be made in order to achieve this result. Perhaps she can indicate to me how I am able to balance my walking with only one usable leg. The other is crippled by arthritis. The surgeon has indicated to me it will be a year before my knee can be replaced so this means a year of constant pain and an inability to walk without a cane.

CHANGES NEEDED I would like Vernon's mayor and council to talk about amalgamation with Coldstream. Vancouver has one mayor and council and the area is a lot bigger than we are. Why do we need two mayors and councils? We only need one mayor and council. We could save a lot of money if that's what we want to do. Put the visitors information centre in the weigh scale building. There is someone there all day and they can give travellers infor-

mation. That would make more sense. Art Gourley

Cullum high on hoops Fulton looks for top-five

KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Morning Star Staff

They don’t discuss arts and entertainment or politics in the Cullum household. Dad Warren played basketball for the University of Victoria Vikings. Mom Debbie started for the Malaspina College Mariners in Nanaimo. Jordyn Cullum is a star six-foot forward with the VSS Panthers, while her brother, Nash, is on the VSS junior boys team. ‘We talk basketball 24-7 at my house,” laughed Jordyn, named to the B.C. Under 17 girls team earlier this season. “Our life is consumed by basketball. If my parents liked a different sport, I probably wouldn’t be playing. My family is so supportive; they just want me to succeed.” Cullum rang up 77 points in four games as the Panthers placed 12th at the provincial senior AA championships last week in Langley without ailing starter Jordan Korol. The Grade 11 student who turned 17 in February attended B.C. team trials in November. Officials cut the roster from 20 to a dozen at December tryouts at Trinity Western University in Langley and announced the team last month. “One of my strengths is running the floor and I think I showed that really well, and just how aggressive I am on defence and offence. I feel that kind of showed them my capabilities. I’m pretty fast so I can guard outside players because of my quickness.” Panther head coach Lonny Mazurak says a combination of love of the game, work ethic, athleticism and excellent skill set got her on the provincial team. “She always leaves it on the floor, is an excellent leader and role model, and is tenacious,” said Mazurak. “She has a will to win and will do whatever is asked to reach that goal. She is dedicated and committed to the game. There are not many girls working harder on her game than Jordyn. “She is a delightful young lady who always brings a smile to the gym. I am looking forward to seeing great things from her in the future. Whatever university is able to get her signed will have a gem on their hands.” LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR Mazurak says Cullum is a physical defensive Jordyn Cullum of the VSS Panthers has made the B.C.

Cullum, who played for the senior team as a vincial lineup despite making Under 16 last year. Grade 10, gives Mazurak major props for her development. “I thought I had a good chance. I had to work hard. It’s not “Maz has been a great coach. I love him.

They entered the B.C. AA Boys Basketball Championships in Langley as the seventh seed. The Fulton Maroons will have left the tournament with a higher finish. Dale Olson’s squad took on Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham Grizzlies for fifth place Saturday. Fulton improved to 2-1 Friday with a convincing 90-65 romp over the 14th-ranked Langley Christian Lightning, outscoring Langley 25-7 in the second quarter to take a 21-point lead into the intermission. Tye Kitzman led the Cory Ang Maroons with 20 points, Darrien Broomfield added 18, Karanmeet Khatra popped in 15 and Cory Ang reached double digits with 14 points. The Maroons were two minutes away from advancing to the final four Thursday. Fulton had erased a 20-point deficit against the second-seeded Southridge Storm of Surrey John Garvie before falling 85-78 in a quarterfinal matchup. “The boys played their hearts out to come back from down 20,” said Olson. “We took the lead and led until 1:29 left. It went back-and-forth and we lost it in the end. “We were undersized, they had a big kid who really hurt us. Can’t fault the effort. Not many teams play as hard as these kids. We were a couple of bounces away from winning.” The big kid that hurt Fulton was the Storm’s 6-foot7 forward, Hunter Hughes, who finished with 40 points. Sam Chan added 18. Guard Brandon Isaac led Fulton with 31 points, Kitzman chipped in 18 and Ang contributed 16 points. The Vernon Panthers played the Windsor Dukes of North Vancouver for 11th place Saturday at the provincial AAA finals in Langley. The Panthers dropped an 86-73 decision to Richmond’s McNair Marlins Friday morning, falling to 1-2. The duo of 6-foot-1 guard Kevin Yang (31) and 6-foot-4 forward Owen Vint (28) combined for 59 of the Marlins’ 86 points. McNair enjoyed a 46-27 lead at the break. John Garvie led the Panthers with 33 points, including five three-point shots. Leon Schenker was 4-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 14 points, the only other Vernon player to reach double digits.

Nordic skiers develop speed Morning Star Staff

It was a fun weekend at the Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre to wrap up the successful crosscountry ski programs’ season. On Saturday, the ‘Becky Scott’ sprints were held for the younger skiers, with bunnies, jackrabbits, and track attackers all participating. The purpose of these sprints is to encourage young skiers to develop speed in their skiing and to expose them to a race-like experience in a fun environment. Fun was definitely the main factor in the success of the event, with parents, coaches and teammates cheering on the competitors, and the junior development skiers racing along beside providing encouragement. At the same time, over on the biathlon range, a fun relay race was taking place with mixed teams of parents and kids. The biathletes (or kids) started first, skiing a one-kilometre lap before coming into the range. Deirdra Holmwood shot clean on her first round, and headed off for her second lap with Danica Ariano and Lucas Sadesky close on her heels. Ariano managed to take the lead and held it going into the tag-off with her mom, Felicia O’Gorman. O’Gorman, however, had neither skill nor luck on her side and saw her lead dwindle as she struggled to hit a target. Despite her best efforts to trip up the other skiers on the last lap, David Ariano and Greg Sadesky managed to avoid O’Gorman’s unsportsmanlike behaviour and blow past her on the final hill. Ariano took the win (along with teammate and daughter, Natalya Ariano), with the Sadesky team coming in second, and Ariano-O’Gorman settling for third.

Wealthy is not the reality

ave you seen recent items in the media lately that talk about wealthy seniors ripping off business and government by receiving discounts and rebates simply because of their age although living in relative affluence? Even Maclean’s magazine has encouraged this point of view with the headline, “Old. Rich. Spoiled.” Sounds good, but as usual in media hype, Pat Black it is untrue. Isobel Mackenzie, first B.C. seniors advocate, found that stereotyping seniors as wealthy does not reflect the reality for many B.C. seniors. In her press release Oct. 10, 2014, she states that stereotyping seniors as wealthy does not reflect the reality for many B.C. seniors and what she found instead is “incomplete information that has resulted in a mis-representation of the economic plight of many seniors.” The release also tells us that Statistics Canada pegs the 2011 median income for those over 65 at

personal best

$23,700. This means that 50 per cent of seniors in Canada are living on less than $23,700 per year, (referred to by some as the poverty line) with the majority living alone. The median income for 35 to 44-year-olds is $43,300 with the overwhelming majority living in a two-person household, sharing costs that are often borne by the single senior. Here in British Columbia alone, we have more than 52,000 seniors who are living on $16,300 per year or less. Yes that is 52,000 seniors living on government pensions alone and living in poverty. Some forget that seniors also make significant contributions to our communities. We know that the greatest amount of volunteering is done by seniors and more significant are the millions of hours of care that is provided every year in this country by seniors to their spouses, families, and in some cases, their parents. If seniors didn’t do the care provision and volunteering in the community the cost to all levels of government would be staggering. Mackenzie was appointed as the long promised seniors advocate in March 2014 and should be a great resource for

seniors. This appointment was made under the Seniors Advocate Act of British Columbia, as part of the B.C. Government’s Seniors Action Plan. The advocate is given wide scope to examine and advocate for seniors on issues related to: health care, personal care, transportation, housing, income supports. In addition the advocate will: monitor services, provide information and referral, analyze systemic issues, and provide recommendations to governments and service providers on any improvements that can be made. A big job and badly needed. Immediately after being appointed, she undertook a province-wide tour of 26 urban and rural communities throughout B.C. and met with thousands of seniors, family members, stakeholders and service providers. She produced an excellent report entitled The Journey Begins Together and I will write more about this later. This document is available by contacting the office of the seniors advocate at www.seniorsadvocatebc.ca or phoning 1-877-952-3181 or writing the Office of the Seniors Advocate, 1st Floor, 1515 Blanshard St., PO Box 9651, STN PROV GOVT, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9P4.

IRENE BUTLER Special To The Morning Star

ICELAND - In each country we visit, my husband Rick and I keep our eyes peeled for something unique to that country, something that cannot be seen or experienced anywhere else in the world. While blazing around the best of Iceland’s geothermal activity of billowing geysers, steaming hot springs, thunderous waterfalls, we get wind of such a phenomenon: Thrihnukagigur. Further investigation reveals, we can be lowered “into” a volcano. Normally, after a megavolcanic eruption the magma hardens closing the crater opening. Not so with Thrihnukagigur which, after its mega blast 4,000 years ago, an anomaly of nature occurred — the magma did not remain in the cavity. Vo l c a n o l o g i s t Haraldur Sigurdsson’s explanation, “It’s like somebody came and pulled the plug, and all the magma ran down out of it.” We are hyped up

RICK BUTLER PHOTO

A guide provides information to a group of tourists at the Thrihnukagigur volcano in Iceland. Tours into the chamber began in 2012. to see this oddity of nature! Our bus ride from Reykjavik to the volcano is on a road with more twists and turns than a pretzel. “The reason for this is to avoid the elf and troll habitats,” our driver says, feeding the local belief in Huldufólk (hidden people). We arrive at the foot of Bláfjöll Mountain Range – where the road

ends. Thora, our guide meets us and leads us along a three-kilometre lava field hike. At one point, we pass over the split between the Eurasian and North American rift that runs northeast to southwest across Iceland (and is widening by 1.5 centimetres each year). Arriving at the small Welcome Cabin, our group of 10 is divided

into three, with us in the middle group. By the time we are fitted with a harness and helmet, it’s our turn. We walk up the nearby embankment to the gaping opening of Thrihnukagigur or Three Peaks Crater. We will descend 120 metres into one of them. A metal cage awaits us; one like the window washers of sky-scrapers use. Pall, the operator, assures we are properly hooked to the cage frame with carabineers, and then presses a red button. After a few jolts and the cage scraping against the rock face, we rumble slowly into the dormant volcano’s cavernous maw. Icy fingers run down my spine caused by more than just the 4 Celsius at the bottom. I am blown-away with the enormity of the chamber: its ground space could hold three basketball courts and could easily fit the Statue of Liberty. We are un-tethered and other than being warned where “not to go”, we are free to wander away from the semiflat section gingerly finding our footing up, down and over jagged

rocks, to get nearer to the chamber walls. It is strangely emotional witnessing the results of gases, pressure and extreme temperatures of the magma that violently blasted to the surface so long ago. The colours are astounding – amber, yellow, green, russet, and reds – which, as our docent Pall explained, “are from the different ore concentrations; and the pitch black sections are where this outer coating has crashed down in chunks from the walls.” Humbled by this grandeur, I am rendered fossil-still, until I hear Rick call, “Come over to this edge; you can’t miss seeing this.” I grab onto sharp boulders and make my way over to where he gazes way down into a seemingly endless abyss of more dazzling colour in swirling patterns. Truly a spectacle to behold. We learn from Thora that this chamber was first discovered in 1974 by long-time caving enthusiast Árni B. Stefánsson, who at that time descended without a headlamp and thought it nothing more than a dark hole. Years later, this time with lighting, he was overwhelmed by what he saw, and began petitioning the government on the fine line between conservation and, at the same time exposing this wonder to the public. The first tour took place in 2012, the first time in history visitors, like us, could venture into this eerily magnificent subterranean world. Above ground again, we fill up on a much appreciated bowl of steaming traditional meat soup and several cups of coffee before our trek back from this unforgettable look “inside the volcano.” Irene Butler is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Piscine harvests top recognition Morning Star Staff

Harvesting an invasive species and turning it into fish food is making big waves for a Vernon company. Piscine Energetics was recently named business of the year and manufacturer of the year by the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. When asked about his greatest achievement, president Nuri Fisher says, “Overseeing the growth of Piscine and rebranding the company after purchasing it in 2005. “Also, working with environmental regulators in B.C. to restock native fish species and setting an example of corporate social responsibility in the aquarium and pet trade.” Since 1997, Piscine Energetics has been removing mysis shrimp, an invasive zooplankton from Okanagan Lake, where it is harming the native kokanee fish stock. Piscine Energetics, which has received assistance from Community Futures, pioneered the environmentally sustainable harvesting of mysis shrimp through the development of fishing technology. The company currently harvests, packages, freezes and markets the frozen mysis shrimp under the brand PE Mysis. PE Mysis is supplied to the marketplace through a network of pet supply distributors, aquarium specialty retailers, big box pet stores and is used on a daily basis by hundreds of zoological institutions and public aquariums throughout North America, including the Vancouver Aquarium, Ripley’s Aquariums, SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment and Walt Disney Resorts. Pets and fish have been a passion for Fisher for decades. “Since I was five years old, I have been obsessed with tropical fish and aquariums,” he said, adding that he receives significant satisfaction from his career. “I enjoy meeting terrific people and developing tremendous lifelong friendships with industry colleagues and customers I would never have met had I chosen to pursue a career in a different industry.” All about mysis Mysis diluviana, commonly referred to as opossum or mysis shrimp, was introduced into freshwater lakes in B.C. in 1966. These organisms were introduced in hopes of boosting the productivity of the lakes, providing an extra food source for kokanee and enhancing the fisheries industry. However, scientists eventually discovered that mysis diluviana is a good prey item for

Crews for Piscine Energetics (above) harvest the invasive mysis shrimp on Okanagan Lake, while company president Nuri Fisher takes a close look at some of the mysis shrimp, which are turned into fish food. large kokanee, but not for kokanee aged less than one year. The major food source for young kokanee in these lakes is a small zooplankton species called daphnia, also known as the water flea. Unfortunately, daphnia is also the preferred food item for mysis. “This led to competition for the same food source, but the shrimp are more efficient predators than kokanee,” states the Piscine website. “They feed during the night, whereas the kokanee do not, and they have a rapid generation time. Mysis shrimp have few predators and normally inhabit different zones of the lake than kokanee. To make matters worse, deep lakes provide vertical migration for the mysis shrimp to avoid adult salmon predation and promote rampant reproduction.” In the late 1990s, the Ministry of Environment searched for a way to restore the native kokanee by targeted removal of the now invasive mysis diluviana. Through the development of a special patented fishing method, whereby shrimp are captured live with no by-catch (salmon, trout or other non-targeted species), Piscine Energetics is the only company allowed to fish for mysis at night.

Boomers in love

oomers are booming on the ‘love’ front. According to Statistics Canada*, many seniors enter into a second union after a divorce, separation, or the death of a partner. In 2011, 76 per cent of men and 55 per cent of women who had been divorced or separated eventually became part of a separate union – and about three-quarters of seniors who entered into a second union got married again, with the rest living as common-law partners*. It’s good news when boomers find a second ‘love’ but it can also lead to financial and other complications – especially for relationships that include children from previous marriages, unfinished separations and divorces and other factors that can significantly impact the new couple’s financial and estate planning. Here are some tips for navigating your new financial life together. Common-law and nonAndy Erickson traditional relationships Boomers may bring different financial resources, objectives and obligations – especially if one or both were previously married.

will spend, save and invest their money. Discuss matters with a lawyer and possibly have them prepare a ‘cohabitation’ agreement’ that defines the financial terms of your relationship. Update your wills and list of beneficiaries for your investments held within your registered accounts and insurance policies as well as who will be granted power of attorney for health and financial affairs. Married or common-law When it comes to things like a right to a division of family property at separation, rights to inherit, and so on, the rights of common-law partners can differ quite drastically between provinces. But when it comes to income tax, common-law couples benefit from the same tax advantages and suffer the same tax disadvantages as married couples. It’s always wise to speak to a financial planner about your tax implications, but here are some basics: Advantages Split pension income – a potential benefit when one partner makes significantly more pension income than the other. Make spousal RRSP contributions on behalf of your partner. Roll non-registered property to each other without triggering a capital gain or loss. Roll registered property to each other at death without triggering income. Transfer unused tax credits and claim the Spousal Credit if your partner is earning very little income. Disadvantages If one or both of you has a child, you will no longer be able to claim the Eligible Dependant Credit for that child. Only one of you can claim the Principal Residence Exemption if one of you owns an urban home and the other a cottage. Your income is pooled when determining the right to claim GST credits, the Canada Child Tax Benefit, and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Child care expenses may not be as valuable because the deduction must be taken by the lower income-earning partner. Talk to your legal, tax, and professional advisors about the right choices for your new relationship. *The Daily, Feb. 24, 2014 — www.statcan.gc.ca/ daily-quotidien/140224/dq140224a-eng.htm Andy Erickson is the division director with Investors Group, Vernon.

News Wage increase applauded Morning Star Staff

Changes to B.C.’s minimum wage have garnered support in the North Okanagan. The provincial government has announced the minimum wage will be linked to the consumer price index. “We along, with most chambers in B.C., commend the provincial government on Dan Rogers i mp l e m e nt i n g an increase to the minimum wage and also setting out a plan for future changes, giving businesses a window to plan and prepare,” said Dan Rogers, Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce general manager. “Our members are only now starting to see an improvement in the economy and any big hike would have potentially driven up

operational costs that may have counteracted the positive improvements that we’ve seen in the last couple of years.” In September, the minimum wage increases by 20 cents per hour to $10.45 per hour and piece rates in agriculture increase by two per cent (minimum piece rates are currently $15 per bin to pick apples and $.224 per pound for cherries). “This will make the minimum wage more predictable,” said Fred Steele, B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association president. “We typically pay a premium on piece rates, and some cherry harvesters make significantly more than minimum wage. Growers pay piece rates to provide an incentive, and we recognize that means workers who perform will earn great wages. “We appreciate and thank the contributions of our workers to the success of the agriculture sector.” The BCFGA represents 520 commercial tree fruit growers.

Houses build hope for women Morning Star Staff

This spring, the Village Green Centre will launch its Houses for Hope campaign. The goal is to raise money and awareness for the Vernon Women’s Transition House Society. Ten, four-foot-by-fourfoot-by-five-foot playhouses have been constructed by Vernon-based Creative Connectors. “The undecorated playhouses will each be presold to campaign sponsors for $500 each, with all net proceeds going directly to the transition house,” said Darren Robinson, marketing manager. “Each sponsor will then be given three weeks to dec-

orate, paint and/or furnish the playhouses to their liking before they are returned to Village Green Centre where they will be on display for public viewing from April 10 to 26.” Shoppers will be given the opportunity to bid on their favourite playhouse via the 16-day silent auction. There will also be a people’s choice award of $150 in Village Green Centre gift cards for the sponsor with the most popular finished playhouse. The Vernon Women’s Transition House Society provides safety, shelter, counselling, and outreach for women and children fleeing abuse.

Band fire service signed ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A deal has been reached between the Splatsin band, City of Armstrong and Township of Spallumcheen to renew a fire services agreement for three years. The last agreement between the city and township to provide fire services to Splatsin located on First Nation lands near Hullcar Road and Salmon River Road expired on Dec. 31, 2014. “Staff are to discuss exactly how many homes are in this coverage area,” said Armstrong Coun. Shirley Fowler. City of Armstrong chief administrative officer Melinda Stickney said an updated coverage map and the exact number of homes in the area will be provided before the agreement is officially signed. The three-year deal, effective from Jan. 1 to

Dec. 31, 2017, will see an annual increase of two per cent each year for the annual and residential household fees in the mutual aid agreement. “The two per cent increase is in line

with the general cost increases for the fire department,” said Spallumcheen deputy corporate officer Cindy Graves. No other changes to the agreement were proposed.

Region celebrates water Morning Star Staff

There’s something for everyone as the Okanagan Basin Water Board celebrates United Nations World Water Day and Canada Water Week from Monday to March 22. The theme this year is wetlands. “There’s a lot of great – and important – work being done around wetlands in the Okanagan. We wanted to share that with the community and celebrate it. What better time than Canada Water Week,” said OBWB chairperson Doug Findlater. “During the last few decades, as the Okanagan’s population has swelled, more than 85 per cent of our wetlands and natural riparian areas have disappeared. Today, we understand the importance of wetlands.” The fun begins Monday when OBWB launches its annual Okanagan WaterWise Challenge. School classes and individuals from kindergarten to Grade 12 are invited to explore an Okanagan wetland and report back, submitting a multi-media entry that explains what they saw, why the wetland they visited is special, and what people can do to protect these cherished

places. Prizes include a twohour boat cruise on Okanagan Lake for a private class lesson on Okanagan water, presented by the Okanagan Science Centre, as well as pizza parties and pool passes. For contest details visit www. OkWaterWise.ca. The

contest ends April 24. And on Wednesday, organizers have scheduled a line-up of free events including a series of wetland documentaries to be screened between 1 nd 3:50 p.m. at the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna, followed by a guided tour of

Rotary Marshes from 4 to 5 p.m., and finally a panel discussion from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Laurel Packinghouse. The panel event, and the film screenings are free but seating is limited and pre-registration is required. Visit www. OkWaterWise.ca for more information.

When Jennifer Olson walks into the bright and colourful space that is All Saints Nursery School, the children’s reaction is instant. The manager and teacher of the preschool is greeted with enthusiasm by all of the kids, from shouts of “Hi, Jennifer,” to big hugs, to an occasional shy hello. It’s Olson’s day off, so the children are surprised and happy to see their teacher. Before sitting down to talk about the preschool where she has worked since 1991, Olson takes a few minutes to help a youngster on with his shoes, get a wet cloth to wipe his hands and zip up his jacket before sending him outside to join his friends in the playground. A mother of two grown children, Olson started at All Saints in 1991 and after more than two decades of working with preschoolers, she is still passionate about her work. “It’s the children — I love their enthusiasm, they are just sponges for knowledge and we learn so much from them and it’s such a great feeling,” she said. “You come in in the morning and maybe you’re not feeling great and you open the door and all these little faces are looking at you and are so happy to see you.” A love of teaching rubbed off on Olson’s children, both of whom became teachers and both of whom married teachers. “It’s part of my life — All Saints is where I have spent half my life; my youngest was in kindergarten when I started here; my daughter volunteered here and my son has helped out as well.” All Saints Nursery School is a preschool for children ages three to five years old offering a wide variety of play experiences set in an atmosphere of trust and acceptance. Staff members are Early Childhood Educators who strive to provide opportunities for all aspects of growth: social, emotional, intellectual and physical. Olson is joined by teachers Ellen Anderson and Carmen Laferriere. There are five different classes offered, morning and afternoon. One day per week, the youngsters in the morning class for four and five-year-olds enjoy the Sunrise Music Program, taught by music specialist Danuta Matysiak-Ociepa. “She teaches rhythm, tone and dynamics and is just wonderful,” said Olson. “You should hear her with the kids, she can show them a crescendo sign and they know what it is, so us teachers are learning as well,” said Olson. Every Friday, Laferriere teaches French to 10 children ages three to five, through conversation, puppetry and storytelling, introducing them to the language in a play-based inclusive program. All Saints Nursery School has a long history in Vernon. It got its start as a kindergarten, but when B.C. kindergartens moved into the public school system, the space was converted into a preschool. “A group of ladies from the church kept it going and we became a licensed preschool.” In 1994, All Saints Anglican Church approached the staff of the preschool, giving them an option to buy the school or to be run under the auspices of the church. “We took it to the parents and they were in favour of buying it and that’s when we became a non-profit society. “We are very family focused and we rely on parents as helpers — they are our greatest asset and our rapport with

Bria Budalich and Abby Helm show their treasures to All Saints Nursery School manager/teacher Jennifer Olson during outdoor play time. the parents is what makes us who we are. We pride ourselves on having parents in the classroom. Children can be different with their parents in the classroom, and we have some parents who stay with the kids because we want the children to be happy and comfortable, so it’s whatever the family needs. Our families are our core here.” The preschool is a bright and cozy space in the old church hall. There are two rooms, one with an upstairs play loft; the walls are decorated with the children’s art work, and there is room for crafts, snacks and circle time, as well as plenty of space for free play. The outdoor playground is fenced and filled with a colourful play structure, a play house and additional elements such as driftwood, grass and leaves, giving the children room to use their imaginations, which recently led to the construction of homes for their pet rocks. “We brought in prunings because if we can’t take the kids to nature, we can bring nature to them.” The children’s time at All Saints is divided between group times: circle, sharing time, music, finger plays, games, stories and enjoying snack together. “In terms of curriculum, our focus is on play. The three of us recently went to a workshop on outdoor play and that emphasized for us how important play is; we were learning and we were outside together exercising. They told us we are getting oxygen to our brain and that is so important to us. “Let the children play; play is the children’s work, it’s their passion and therefore it is our work and our passion.” Olson is proud of the preschool she has called home for more than 20 years. “We are an inclusive preschool, we have a lot of children who do require extra support and we have some children with special needs and we do take children on subsidy; that

is important to us as well, so it’s affordable for everybody. “It goes back to family. We have children who attended who are now parents themselves. This place is a stepping stone in their life and we are so honoured and privileged to have them, and it’s emotional when they leave. Hopefully we have instilled a love of learning in them that they will take into the future.” September registration has begun and there are still a few openings.

accessible for all. Canada’s curling wheelchair athlete and Olympic champion Sonja Gaudet recently took time in her busy life to be together with representatives from the foundation to make a presentation of $5,000 towards this project. This heritage church, now more than 107 years old, is the meeting place for more than 14 organizations, but is not wheelchairaccessible. A small, but dedicated group is determined to seek to make this change. “The sanctuary was full to standing room only for the celebration of a friend’s life who struggled to continue to be a part of the community after being diagnosed with ALS,” said Rev. Lorraine Powell. “But those who had difficulty with the stairs, walkers or wheel chairs could not participate in the coffee and visiting in the lower dining room. This was the impetus to get involved.” For many organizations that meet in this welcoming place, including Enderby and District Community Resource

Centre, the Food Bank, The Garden Club, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and MacKenzie Camp, to name just a few, accessibility is restricted. At a recent meeting of the MacKenzie Camp board, a decision was made to help fundraise for this proposed project, which would help

the whole community. On Saturday, the board held a fundraising Irish Stew Dinner, complete with entertainment and an Irish sing-along. This is as a way of saying “thank you” for the free meeting space and the many events held at St. Andrew’s to help chil-

dren attend camp. If you would like to support this project, you can donate to MacKenzie Camp, Box 133, Armstrong, B.C., V0E 1B0, or send your donation directly to St. Andrew’s United, marked Accessibility Project. “The committee is busy working with con-

sultants and hope to have estimates for the project and begin the work soon,” said Powell. “We would like to say thank you to Sonja for your inspiration to make us think this is possible and to the Community Foundation for your gift and continued support for the community.”

October 2014, with founder Katherine Reiber, RMT, providing the vision and guidance for its continued growth. Reiber is a craniosacral practitioner and also teaches at the Okanagan Valley

College of Massage Therapy in Vernon. Her vision to open a space in the heart of Vernon that connects all aspects of health and healing has grown leaps and bounds over the past few months. To recognize the first

six months of operations, Tidal Elements is hosting an Equinox event on Saturday. This celebration of healing invites the community to join us not only in honoring the arrival of spring, but also to meet the people who have come together to bring their unique offerings in a supportive space. Some of the many offerings available at the Equinox event will be: Breath Workshop, Yoga Nidra, Yin to Yang Class, Contact Dance Workshop, potluck eats and treats, and live music. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Monashee Arts Council in Lumby, a non-profit society. The studio space also serves as an art gallery featuring local artists. This season’s exhibit opening the Equinox event is created by Vernon artist Jason Lewis, with SC Designwerx. Tidal Elements

Healing Arts has practitioners providing a wide range of therapies and services including: massage therapy, pre/post natal massage, craniosacral sessions, reflexology, reiki, medical intuitive consultations and aromatherapy facials. A great community of instructors and class facilitators also make use of the studio space to offer weekly classes in yoga, Feldenkrais, meditation and JusDance. The spacious studio accommodates a wide variety of workshops as well. If your organization is looking for a centrally located, serene space to get together, you can contact Reiber to enquire about availability. Tidal Elements is in the heart of Vernon, behind K&K Books. For more information, please check the website at www.tidalelements.ca Jennifer Greenwood is with Breeze Wellness in the North Okanagan.

love going to hardware stores for the sole purpose of staring aimlessly at the shelves and the many wonderful items they hold. I know I’m not alone. In any given hardware store, you’ll find legions of wanderers with the same zombie look on their face. The formula is simple and a time honoured tradition: wander, contemplate, calculate, get distracted by shiny object, repeat. This is the magic of selection. Selection is Brian van Wensem great! I think the same is true of the arts. We are spoiled in Vernon with incredible selection, especially throughout the busy spring performance season. Here’s a few events to get you wandering, contemplating and calculating: Local modern Celtic band Cod Gone Wild are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the Powerhouse Theatre Tuesday. Favourite Irish songs and traditional pieces are featured along with material from

Cod Gone Wild’s latest album, Battered and Fried. Also performing a mix of Newfoundland and Irish tunes will be the Okanagan Celtic Choir. Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets are still available from the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469). On Friday, the B.C. Cadet Honour Band visits the Performing Arts featuring young musicians ranging from 14 to 18 years of age. This 45-piece band comes from the ranks of the Royal Canadian sea, army and air cadets selected from across the province. The full concert band is complimented by pipes and drums and together they perform popular concert music highlighted by military pomp and ceremony. There is no charge to attend this performance, which starts at 7:30 p.m, so plan to arrive a little early to avoid disappointment. The North Okanagan Community Concert Association presents Joe Trio at the Performing Arts Centre on Saturday. Humourous, unpredictable, versatile and diverse, these classically trained musicians take you through classical, jazz and rock tunes with their own arrangements throughout.

Chappie’s storyline is robotic

D

eon (Dev Patel), a young robotics scientist, secretly gives true consciousness to a police robot designated for dismantling. Having to hide the robot from everyone, #22 is named Chappie when he is reluctantly left with some hip-hop gangsters, Yo-Landi and Ninja (from Die Antwoord.) A competing scientist, Vincent (Hugh Jackman), has a more aggressive robot that he wants to sell to the Johannesburg police force, which he might be able to do once Chappie is exposed as a Taylor and Howe renegade. In order for that to happen, the would-be gangsters have to teach Chappie how to be tough and cool, yet still work within the parameters of Deon’s programming, which includes not hurting people or committing crimes. We say, “Chappie is confused and confusing.” TAYLOR: Sometimes an idea just sticks. For instance, having a floating ring satellite city in space full of rich folks while poor people on Earth are starving is a neat setup, yet Elysium was hated by most. This happens in films when the plot isn’t as awesome as the premise. Chappie was an idea that Neill Blomkamp had before making Elysium or District 9. Obviously, the concept of artificial intelligence is a gold mine of film fodder all by itself and raising a baby up to be a gangster might also be fun to watch. Yet, having said robot be the baby, conflicted and confused, thrust into a much more convoluted story that I can’t believe at any particular plot point, Chappie goes from something that could have been amazing to something that misses every mark. This is due to Blomkamp being a visual effects guru and a poor writer. Anyone can slap together some cool scenes in a movie, not everyone can tell a story well. HOWE: I don’t know if I agree that it misses every mark. I would say at least 10 per cent hit. That being the part when the film sucked me in about three quarters of the way. At that stage I forgot that I was watching a CGI robot, so I must applaud director/writer Blomkamp for that. But for a movie costing roughly $50 million, it should have had a stronger storyline. TAYLOR: I didn’t mind the film after I got over the initial preposterous plot. It’s not that Chappie the robot is unbelievable, nor does it bother me that there is no real explanation as to how he is given consciousness. At one point our scientist Dev Patel, who hams it up through this entire film, says that consciousness can’t be reduced to a single formula, then proceeds to install “consciousness data” into Chappie, who wakes up a frightened baby. What do you know, it works! All of this, while extremely lazy, is irrelevant. It’s as if Blomkamp had a great idea for a sci-fi drama but threw in a couple more characters to complicate the story and create an action film. Finally, it’s unclear who this film is for. It’s curious and cute, like any film about raising a robot, yet it’s violent and rude, like a gangster film. I would have liked to see it toned down a bit, taken more seriously and without the big, stupid shoot out at the end. HOWE: Are you saying you didn’t like the original Robocop rip-off killing machine at the end, skillfully controlled by a mullet-haired Jackman in the tiniest shorts I’ve seen since John McEnroe at Wimbledon? To me that one scene – the over-thetop killing frenzy where bodies get ripped to pieces or shot to bits – spoiled the film. There are some other negative points but I have to let some things slide, for example the acting from the rapper weirdos was passable compared to Patel who is supposed to be a professional. – Taylor gives Chappie 2 unnecessary B-stories out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 rubber chickens out of 5.

Reel Reviews

A robot raised to be a gangster has an identity crisis in Chappie.

Finger-style guitar champ to perform Morning Star Staff

He has established himself as one of Canada’s most brilliant and exhilarating guitarists. And now Ewan Dobson is about to grace the North Okanagan with his presence. A classically trained guitarist, who plays everything from acoustic metal to folk, Dobson, 33, is currently touring the U.S. before he crosses the border, playing what will be one of his more intimate shows at Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek, Friday. His impressive list of credentials include winning grand prizes at provincial music festivals in his native Ontario as well as making his mark representing Ontario twice at the national finals of the prestigious Canadian Music Competitions (CMC), where he was awarded the top prize in guitar. In the summer of 2009, Dobson was crowned the Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Champion at the prestigious fifth annual Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Competition in Kingston, Ont. Shortly after this victory, he captured another first prize in the acoustic category at the fourth Montreal Guitar Grand Prix. However, the highlight of his career so far is when he caught the attention of the world by capturing third place at the 38th International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship held in Winfield, Kansas. His YouTube channel, on CandyRat Records, where he plays his original compositions, has more than one million hits.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist TOM NOLAN

March is Nutrition Month in Canada. Here are the five guidelines for healthy eating: 1) Enjoy a variety of foods; 2) Emphasize cereals, breads, other grain products, vegetables and fruits; 3) Choose low-fat daily products, lean meats, and food prepared with little or no fat; 4) Achieve and maintain a healthy body weight by enjoying regular exercise; 5) Limit salt, alcohol and caffeine. Honey is one of the few foods that doesn’t spoil. With liquid honey, there may be some crystallization with time, but this doesn’t mean it’s gone bad. Placing it in warm water will dissolve the crystals. By the way, a bit of honey is helpful when your child is coughing. Give it a try if your child is over one year of age. People who have trouble sleeping at night might benefit from a long, warm bath one or two hours before bedtime. Evidently our core temperature drops starting about two hours before bedtime and is at its lowest around 4 am. Warming up the body with a nice bath combined with the drop during the night will relax you. Or you can follow the advice of Mark Twain: “If you can’t sleep, try lying on the end of the bed … then you might drop off.” Probably not an acceptable way to a better sleep! March is also Pharmacists Awareness Month. It’s a time to highlight all the services we pharmacists can extend to you, our customers. Our role in health care is expanding and we want you to be aware of some of these new directions.

Zsa Zsa Gabor said, “To a smart girl, men are no problem - they’re the answer.” Today’s deal features a declarer-play problem. Whether male or female, can you find the answer? South is in seven spades, and West leads the diamond queen to dummy’s ace. When South learns of spade support opposite, he plunges into Blackwood. South starts with 12 top tricks: eight spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. The obvious extra winner will come from a successful club finesse. But is there another possibility?

Yes, if the missing hearts are splitting 4-3, dummy’s heart six can be established - if declarer has four dummy entries: three to ruff low hearts and one to get back to the dummy to cash that 13th heart. What are those entries? South plays a spade to his king, leads a heart to dummy’s ace, ruffs a heart, returns to dummy with a spade to the jack, ruffs another heart, plays a spade to dummy’s ace, and ruffs a third heart. What now? Declarer must trump his winning diamond king in the dummy! Then he discards his club queen on the heart six and claims. Note that if hearts had split

5-2, South would have fallen back on the club finesse. Zsa Zsa Gabor made a couple of other great comments about men: “I never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back.” And “I was an excellent housekeeper. Every time I got divorced, I kept the house.”

Candidate Cindy Derkaz talks to Doug Bigelow at the grand opening of the OkanaganShuswap Liberal office Wednesday on 30th Avenue. The party is preparing for this fall’s federal election.

April

The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District board has given second reading to a regulation on sexual orientation and gender identity. Trustee Jen Wilchuk says there were some changes from the original regulation which was looked at last month. One noteworthy change was that the wording has been changed from “all students” to “all members of the school community (including students, parents, teachers, support staff and anyone involved with the district).” This regulation will now go out to stakeholders for feedback before coming back to the board for further consideration.
