FUNDS ON TRACK | Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative commits to raising $5 million [A5]
School cuts focus of talk

Crews work on the facility at the Greater Vernon Athletic Park at Okanagan College Tuesday morning. The more than $8 million project is slated for opening by the end of June.
Students, parents, teachers, staff and taxpayers are being urged to get directly involved in the financial crunch facing the Vernon School District. A public input session on the 2015/16 budget will be held today at the Schubert Centre at 6:30 p.m. “They are the ones impacted the most,” said superintendent Joe Rogers of the need to hear from the community. “We’re here to serve students and the public.” The provincial government requires $437,000 of cuts in non-instructional costs in the 2015/16 school year, rising to $814,000 in 2016/17. A projected decrease in enrolment and increased costs for utilities and Medical Service Plan premiums translates into a $1 million cost reductions by 2016/17. “During the input session, the secretary-treasurer will explain the financial situation for the coming school year and the following school year,” said Rogers. “We will lay out the problem we have. Either we have to cut or increase revenue and with revenue, the only area is charging for busing.” Rogers wouldn’t speculate on what actions may ultimately be taken by the district to balance the books. “There are no good decisions. All of them will be difficult,” he said. For those residents who can’t attend today’s input session, there is an opportunity to provide budget feedback at www.sd22.bc.ca.
Enderby teen survives massive fall ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A young Enderby man is lucky to have survived a 1,600-foot fall off an Alberta mountain while skiing. The incident happened at Goat’s Eye Mountain in Banff National Park outside the ski boundary at Sunshine Village near Banff, at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday, March 27. According to Grant Statham, visitor safety specialist with Parks Canada for Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks, skiers can ride the Goat’s Eye lift at Sunshine where it’s common, he said, for people to hike above the chair lift to access runs called the South Side Chutes. If a skier hikes a bit further than most people go, said Statham, they end up at the edge of a huge cliff where a rope is in place to

stop skiers from going any further. “This person took their skis off and proceeded to cross through the rope and walked out to a lip of a cornice (an overhang of snow or ice that accumulates along the crest of the leeward side of mountain ridges) and the cornice broke,” said Statham. The unidentified Enderby man is 18-yearsold. “They fell approximately 500 metres (1,600 feet), a terrible fall,” said Statham. “It’s amazing that they survived this. That’s the remarkable part about this is that they lived.” Unconfirmed reports have the injured

tial impression on something like this is the person is not going to be alive. “We located the person on the surface of the snow and they waved at us. We’re like, ‘Holy smokes, they’re alive.’” Crews did a quick rescue as the spot where the injured skier ended up was still in a hazardous area with more cornices hanging over. The man was rescued with a helicopter long line. He was taken by ambulance to Banff ’s Mineral Springs Hospital with a badly broken leg and broken back. He was then transferred to Calgary’s Foothills Hospital. It is believed the skier was wearing a helmet. His condition was unknown as of press time Tuesday. Statham said nobody should ever walk out on to snow to look over the edge of a cliff.

The companions walked to where the young man had been, found his skis there, and saw his footprints heading out to the big piece of snow that collapsed. “They (injured skier) fell, they went over a large cliff, bounced down a big gulley then got spat out the bottom and they ended up on a snow slope,” said Statham. “I think what saved this guy, and this has happened before in history, it’s not uncommon people taking these huge falls, is that he was cushioned by all the snow that fell with him and that helped him survive this thing.” It’s believed one of the companions * call, and the injured LEASE phoned in the distress FOR skier alerted rescuers that he was alive. “We responded to the call quickly,” said Statham. “We# $flew over the‡ area and the ini%

Invasive species battle gains muscle RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The fight against potential invaders has been given a boost. The provincial government announced Tuesday it will pump $1.3 million into early detection and rapid response for quagga and zebra mussels. “In combination with what the federal Bob Fleming government is doing, it sounds like everything OBWB wanted the province to do,” said Bob Fleming, Okanagan Basin Water Board director. “It brings us closer to what Alberta
has been doing.” The invasive mussel defence program begins operation in April for the 2015 boating season and consists of: ■ Three mobile decontamination units. ■ Six trained auxiliary conservation officers. ■ Highway signage throughout the province. ■ Expanded monitoring for zebra and quagga mussels. ■ Report All Poachers or Polluters response line coverage. ■ Increasing clean, drain, dry education and outreach activities. Teams will inspect boats entering B.C. from Alberta and if needed, decontaminate them to ensure mussels aren’t brought into
the province. They also will respond to boats from the U.S. identified as a concern by the Canadian Border Services Agency, as well as agencies. Zebra and quagga mussels are native to eastern Europe and they have spread across North America since the 1980s. They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. OBWB has estimated that the direct cost and lost revenue if the mussels take hold in the region are $42 million annually. Fleming’s only concern is the government announcement only refers to the 2015 boating season.
“I assume OBWB will look at trying to get continuity for funding. One year won’t get the job done,” he said. “If we want protection, it has to be multi-year.”

The marijuana was being grown legally but a residence in Cherryville was under RCMP radar because the home was allegedly using stolen electricity to power the operation. RCMP officers executed a Criminal Code search warrant March 17 for theft of electricity in the area of North Fork Road. “Police were aware that the tenant was legally growing some 1,200 marijuana plants but the information was they were using stolen electricity to power this grow operation,� said Cpl. Henry Proce, with the Lumby RCMP. A 40-year-old man was arrested on scene, transported to Vernon police cells and will be charged for the alleged theft under the Criminal Code.

All of the plants and grow operation equipment in the home and outbuildings were seized by police. In a separate matter, police attended to a residence on Grandview Avenue in Lumby March 27 in response to a complaint of an insecure residence. When police arrived on scene, it was discovered to be a break-and-enter. “This is what is known as a grow rip,� said Proce. “The tenant had a legal license to grow marijuana and that was the sole purpose the home was entered.� Proce said it appears the theft took place the night before when the tenant was not home. “The thieves forced their way into the residence, stole his plants and caused significant damage.�

Rail commitment made KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
The Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative has committed to raising $5 million towards construction along the CN Rail corridor should local communities be able to complete the purchase of the 47-kilometrelong rail bed. The rail trail group made the announcement Tuesday morning at the opening of the yes campaign headquarters in Lake Country and says taxpayers won’t be asked to subsidize construction or maintenance of the trail if it is purchased by the interjurisdictional group. Rail trail director Brad Clements says his group will have no problem raising the $5 million from individuals or businesses and added they could leverage that amount for another $5 million in grants towards developing a transportation corridor. “We’ve always said we are willing to raise money for the construction costs of the trail but there seems to be some uncertainty about where that money is going to come from,” said Clements. “Absolutely, there will be no additional costs to the taxpayers. We are very confident we can raise that ($5 million). There are all kinds of companies and individuals saying we
“This is a pay as you go project.”
— Thomson want this and want to provide money for it.” Clements said his group already has financial commitments of $350,000 from two individual property owners in the area and adds there are many more individuals and companies that have come forward asking how to support the trail with financial donations. A study done by the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative estimated it would take $7.3 million to develop the trail after it is purchased. The announcement Tuesday morning was part of an information campaign underway to get the word out about
Lake Country’s April 25 referendum on borrowing $2.6 million to purchase the trail along with Kelowna and the Okanagan Regional District. of North Okanagan. Yes campaign manager Duane Thomson says future costs of the trail is a major question people are asking. “This is a pay as you go project so we don’t have to do everything in the first year,” said Thomson. “We will not be asking local taxpayers with any help with development costs of the trail. There is a fear by locals that they will be charged for maintenance of the trail. All of the objections to the trail are based on the argument that there is going to be more costs coming afterwards, which is not true.” Lake Country residents Bob and Lynn Hansen dropped by the yes campaign head-

Local law firms combine forces Morning Star Staff
Two well-established Vernon law firms are joining forces. The partners of Allan, Francis Pringle and Davidson Lawyers have merged and will now be known as Davidson Pringle. “We see this as a terrific opportunity to continue the tradition and service of both law firms under one roof,” said Ian Hawes, a Davidson Ian Hawes partner. The new firm will operate from the present AFP offices on 28th Street. “The merger will create a team of
11 experienced lawyers and more than 25 skilled support staff providing client services in all areas of law,” said Richard Barton, an AFP partner. Allan Francis Pringle was created in 1990 when John Pringle, Keith Allan and Peter Francis merged their practices. Davidson traces its history back to 1919 when Charles Morrow opened his practice in Vernon, Richard Barton to be joined in 1946 by Neil Davidson and in 1950 by Peter Seaton. The firm was renamed Davidson Seaton in 1956, and became Davidson

The 2015 operating budget totals just over $59.4 million compared with $61.1 million during 2014. The decrease is due in large part to the cost savings provided through the new 911 service contract and a reduction in costs through the participation in the Multi-Materials B.C. recycling program. RDCO provides more than 80 different services across the entire Central Okanagan. The actual tax rate varies from neighbourhood to neighbourhood and municipality, depending on the local services provided by the regional district. Based on assessments, the total tax per average house in the North Westside area will be $466, a decrease of $117 from 2014. For Lake Country, the total tax per average house is $185, an increase of $3.70. In the two electoral areas during 2015, rather than taxation or rate increases, needed capital upgrades and equipment purchases will be completed thanks to more than $1.1-million from the federal Community Works Gas Tax program. Just over $499,000 will be spent on facilities and equipment for the four volunteer fire departments, including North Westside, and almost $385,000 worth of improvements are planned for four water systems, including Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates.

City prepares for spring ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Earth Day has been chosen for Armstrong’s annual community clean-up. Every year, the city organizes a community clean-up week with staff providing groups with garbage bags and gloves to pick up garbage. The public works crews then collect the full garbage bags and take them to the landfill. Staff has contacted the elementary schools, the Armstrong Spallumcheen Trails Society and other associations that have participated in recent years, and the groups have chosen Earth Day, April 22, to clean up the community. “Various routes and areas will be outlined as the places these groups wish to tidy,” said Coun. Ron (Sully) O’Sullivan, the city’s public works committee chairperson. “Public works will pick up bags on that day by 3 p.m. or the next morning if the groups have not finished by then.” Deputy corporate officer Natalie Garbay said the trails society, Girl Guides and Highland Park and Armstrong elementary schools have indi-

Taps turned off on Kal Lake Morning Star Staff
The Kalamalka Lake water source was turned off Saturday due to turbidity that can reduce the ultraviolet disinfection effectiveness at the Mission Hill treatment plant. The plant treats water from Kalamalka Lake with ultraviolet disinfection but does not have filtration. As a result, the water quality can be vulnerable to changes occurring in and around the lake. “The decision to turn off the Kalamalka Lake water source was based on increased turbidity from spring runoff, especially noted in Coldstream Creek, and its affect on the intake in Kalamalka Lake,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager with Greater Vernon Water. “All water in the Greater Vernon service area will be supplied from the Duteau Creek water treatment plant to avoid issuing a boil water notice to custom-

This may be of interest to those customers who have in-home water treatment systems or aquariums.” Clark says GVW staff will continue to monitor water quality and notify customers of any further changes.
Future Shop now Best Buy Morning Star Staff
A Vernon retail outlet will remain open but it will be switching names. The Future Shop store will convert to a Best Buy store. “It will be closed for one week to begin the transition to the Best Buy brand,” said a company spokesperson Saturday. On Saturday, Best Buy Co., which owns and operates both Best Buy and Future Shop stores, announced it is closing 66 Future Shop locations while an additional 65 Future Shop stores will take on the Best Buy label. The company will now have 192
locations across Canada, including 136 large-format stores and 56 Best Buy Mobile stores. “Currently, 80 per cent of our customers are within a 15-minute drive to a store and this won’t change,” said Ron Wilson, Best Buy Canada president. “We will continue to have a strong store presence in all major markets in Canada.” About 500 full-time and 1,000 part-time positions will be cut. “Any decisions that impact our people are never taken lightly. Our first priority is to support them through this change,” said Wilson.

Process questionable
embers of the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission insist they didn’t pull their recommendations out of thin air. They claim that prior to making suggestions about B.C.’s electoral map, they spoke to people on the ground in constituencies. In the case of the North Okanagan, the commission states, “Public input recommended that if changes were needed to balance the population in this area, we could consider moving the community of Swan Lake from Vernon-Monashee to Shuswap without reducing the effectiveness of representation.” It would be interesting to know who the commission got advice from. Richard Rolke Did they speak to the two electoral area directors for Swan Lake and the BX or staff at the Regional District of North Okanagan? Were there conversations with the businesses along the Swan Lake corridor or the BX-Swan Lake Community Association? How did the commission canvas residents in that area? Questioning who provided input is logical when both regional district directors appeared genuinely surprised when told by the media that their representation in Victoria may shift. “It sounds a bit odd to carve off pieces of Greater Vernon,” said Bob Fleming, BX-Swan Lake director. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is also puzzled by the entire situation. “With the provincial government, at the best of times, I don’t understand their rationale,” he said. One has to wonder if, prior to making its recommendation, the commission understood the governance structure we know as Greater Vernon? The two electoral areas are part of a consortium with Vernon and Coldstream for water, culture and recreation. They generally speak
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
as a single voice when lobbying the provincial government for legislative support or funds for infrastructure like water. Key to this lobbying is having a strong, working relationship with the local MLA. Up until now, that’s been simple because all of Greater Vernon is part of the Vernon-Monashee constituency. But matters could become more complicated after the 2017 provincial election if Swan Lake and a large swath of the BX are moved into the Shuswap constituency. Local officials would then have to bend the ear of two MLAs. It should also be pointed out that while the commission has gone to great strides to keep the City of Vernon in one constituency, pockets of the electoral areas are always being annexed into Vernon. Will that lead to bits and pieces of the city having a separate MLA? Greg Kyllo, current Shuswap MLA, doesn’t foresee challenges with moving his constituency boundary to the south. “If it includes Swan Lake, it just adds about three miles,” he said. Fair enough, but while Swan Lake and the BX share common similarities with Armstrong and Spallumcheen, Sicamous and the North Shuswap might as well be on the far side of the moon when it comes to some community, social and economic issues. Eric Foster, the current Vernon-Monashee MLA, supports the commission’s findings. “I don’t think as far as service to the public, it will make a lot of difference. We will still look after them,” he said. Except that if the Vernon-Monashee MLA is addressing their needs and concerns and not their actual MLA, why did the boundary move? Obviously balancing community interests with population demographics is challenging when drawing up boundaries, but this scenario is lacking common sense. Local politicians, businesses and residents have until May 26 to provide feedback on the proposal, and hopefully, unlike the process that led to the recommendation, there will be meaningful input this time around.
It’s almost like the movie Groundhog Day keeps repeating itself at the Vernon School District board office. Year after year, trustees and administration have to relive the same difficult task of paring back the budget because of inadequate funding and government edicts. And the looming 2015/16 school year won’t be any different. Because Victoria has ordered administrative reductions, $437,000 must be found in the next budget, and that figure will climb to a staggering $814,000 in 2016/17. When reduced enrolment and increased costs for utilities and MSP are factored into the equation, the district must slash $1 million in the next two years. Given the extent of cuts in the last decade, it’s difficult to know what actions the school district can reasonably take. While the government has mandated that administrative reductions won’t impact students, the reality is that non-instructional duties are critical to the day-to-day activities that occur in classrooms. “There are no good decisions. All of them will be difficult,” said Joe Rogers, superintendent. As part of the budget process, a public input session will be held today at 6:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. “We will lay out the problem we have,” said Rogers. Teachers and support staff will be present, which is natural as they have a vested interest as educational partners. However, what is also needed is for trustees to hear from students, parents and residents who don’t have children in the system. Not only may the public have valuable insight that helps with the budget, but attending will make residents more aware of the government’s endless cycle of penny-pinching.

Vote yes for the rail corridor
was born in Oyama in 1924. I feel truly blessed this has been my home for 90 years. During this time, Wood and Kalamalka lakes have provided my family and I with unlimited recreational enjoyment. The prospect of losing public access to our lakeshore to private individuals and developers is very unsettling. If our municipality votes no to the purchase of the railway corridor, we will lose the opportunity of a lifetime. The public access to the lakes we have always taken for granted will be gone forever. Currently, the south end of Wood Lake has limited public access. If it weren't for the generosity and vision of the Beasley Park acquisition, there would likely be no public access to the south end beaches. If the rail trail proposal fails, the entire east side of Wood Lake would be unavailable for public use and access. A developer purchasing the isthmus on the north shore of Wood Lake would be able to capitalize on a financial opportunity like none other but for the residents of Lake Country, this would be an absolute travesty. For example, visualize the Oyama isthmus overwhelmed with condos, townhouses and private homes restricting access to beaches and a recreational area always enjoyed by the public. Other than Pelmewash Parkway with its rocky shoreline, we are faced with the prospect
RAIL TRAIL CONCERNS Currently, our elected officials are considering the purchase of the abandoned CN rail corridor through Lake Country so CN can sell this property to Kelowna, Vernon, Coldstream and Lake Country. Lake Country's portion would cost taxpayers $5,145,000. Lake Country needs approval to borrow $2,572,500 right now to make up the difference and Kelowna has agreed to loan Lake Country the balance, with a payback term of three years. Do you realize that originally, CN may have paid for some of this land but a lot of the properties along the rail corridor were donated by the people who originally owned the land because this was considered a great gain to have a railroad running up and down the valley? Let me also share two other points: When the rail line in Surrey and one in the Kootenays were abandoned, the land was donated to the two districts free of charge. What are the costs of making this trail useable? Is CN taking out the rails and ties or will the purchasers have to bear those costs too? Phil Rawsthorne COSENS BAY RESPONSE The people of B.C. bought the land for
of losing public access to our beautiful beaches forever. We all have to ask ourselves if this is fair to our future generations. Needless to say, the loss would be equally profound along the west side of Kalamalka Lake. The sum of money involved to secure these lands to preserve public access may seem onerous to those not in favour now. However, when we consider the priceless value of this unique property, it truly represents an opportunity that warrants the community taking on more debt.
Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park for people not rattlesnakes! B.C. Parks built Cougar Canyon parking lot to accommodate the increasing numbers of people visiting this park to witness the most spectacular views in North America. The view from the top of Cougar Canyon, overlooking Kal Lake, is breathtaking. Bikers, rock climbers, hikers, seniors and young families come in increasing numbers each year and use the Cougar Canyon parking, lot which is next to the corner where in 2014, a young man careened off the narrow road plunging hundreds of yards and had a stick impelled, into his neck. His white truck is still there. This accident could easily have started a fire and burned the forest and grassland. How many snakes will die when there is a fire? The road through the park already has a fence and large boulders separating the grassland from the road. The road has existed since 1896, some 79 years before the land beside the road was purchased for a park. Would you like to meet a propane truck and have to back up for hundreds of yards to find a spot that you could safely pass? Everyone loves the grasslands, but they are not original, fragile, grasslands. The Greater Vernon Museum has a 1975 report by Robert Cannings on Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, which describes the area covered with knap-
The return on this investment is immeasurable when we consider 9,300 residents (and growing) will walk away proud and will all benefit. On April 25, residents of Lake Country will have the opportunity to vote in favour of preserving public access to lands and lakes we must all continue to enjoy. We are so fortunate to live in such a wonderful and beautiful part of the world and with that in mind, we need to preserve it so I would urge everyone to vote yes. Arnold Trewhitt
weed; and recommended spraying Tordon (a cancer-causing herbicide) to the land before re-seeding grass. Tordon was used, and the grassland was seeded. I invite members of the public to take a drive to the Cougar Canyon parking lot, look over the bank for the truck that went off the road in 2014 and then drive the highway used by property owners in Cosens Bay. Three Supreme Court judges in 1997 reviewed J. Collvers' declaration made in 1996 and unanimously agreed that Cosens Bay Road was a public highway. David Kennedy, your arguments were dismissed by a total of four Supreme Court judges. Alice Klim WRONG TERM Isn’t it time to stop referring to ISIS or ISIL, or Boco Haram, as Islamic jihadists or whatever, and start calling them what they really are. They are dangerous terrorist cults. They may have some Islamic undertones to their hagiography, but they are no more related to Islam than the Waco or Jamestown terrorists were related to Christianity. Muslims should not have to defend their faith against such perverted doctrines. Gregory A. Milne

Just a hometown girl... Less than a year after being part of the PEAK Performance Project, Vernon’s Jodi Pederson continues on her journey Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
Photo submitted
Vernon’s Jodi Pederson is currently in the studio in Vancouver, recording a new single following her PeaK Performance success.
First it was the PEAK, and now Vernon-raised musician Jodi Pederson is heading towards another pinnacle in her career. It was just last year, on her birthday (June 11), that the Kalamalka Secondary School graduate found out she had made it into the top 12 of the PEAK Performance Project. The renowned competition, developed by Vancouver radio station 102.7 The PEAK, is designed to educate, promote, develop and launch the careers of some of B.C. and Alberta’s up-and-coming artists. Within two weeks of finding out she was a PEAK finalist, Pederson had to write at least eight more songs, find talented band members to join her on stage, establish her brand, work on her stage presence, and prepare for the challenges that came with the competition. “I had my work cut out for me to say the least,” said Pederson. “The entire PEAK Performance Project experience was an incredible one and a big kick to get my career really
moving and style defined.” The project also came with a public online voting segment to help determine the top three artists, and although Pederson was not able to make it to that stage, she says the experience was noteworthy. “The voting process, which counted for part of the final verdict on the winners, was a lost cause, I thought,” said Pederson. However, after putting a call out to her hometown for support, Pederson says she was floored when the final votes were tallied. “(They) were off the charts. I was so blown away by the generosity, support and love you all showed. So this is my big, heartfelt thank you to all of you who voted. Your support means the world to me,” she said. “I am incredibly fortunate to have been raised in such a supportive, inspiring city. I could not continue to pursue my dream without your support.” Now that the dust has settled from the PEAK Performamce Project, Pederson is embarking on the next phase of her career, and is once again looking for community support. She is currently in the studio recording her newest single,Wild,with Vancouver producer Ryan Worlsey, who has worked with B.C. acts Dear Rouge, Derrival,
and Van Damsel. “I have started an Indiegogo campaign to raise the funds necessary to record this new tune,” said Pederson. “With every contribution, you will receive a free download of the single once complete, and a personalized thank you card from me, as well as some more great perks.” The campaign will be running until April 11. (Visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-jodi-pederson-recordingcampaign.) Pederson is also taking part in CBC’s Searchlight Competition, which determines from public votes Canada’s best new artist. The contest is open to all independent acts from all regions across the nation. (To vote for Pederson, visit http://music.cbc.ca/#!/artists/JodiPederson.) In the meantime, Pederson is planning to perform at the Bryan Adams tribute fundraiser (date to be announced) at Vancouver’s Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. “I absolutely love Bryan Adams, and am so excited to have been selected among many talented performers to honour this incredible man this upcoming year, alongside CC, Jon Bryant, and JP Maurice,” said Pederson, adding she has also been selected to perform at this year’s Canadian Music Week, May 1 to 10, in Toronto.
Soul-jazz Juno nominee makes her way to Vernon

She has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, Japan, and Mexico and has sold out legendary clubs from Tokyo to Detroit. And now four-time Juno award nominee Elizabeth Shepherd is about make her first appearance at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. A vocalist and pianist, Shepherd and her band will perform songs from her 2015 Juno-nominated album, The Signal, as well as material from her four previous widely acclaimed albums. She will be joined by Jon Day on trumpet, Michael Occhipinti on guitar, Scott Kemp on bass, and Colin Kingsmore on drums. Shepherd’s sound is extremely unique.
“I incorporate components of all the types of music that have shaped me, that I loved and still do: hip hop, funk, electronica, world music, brass band music,” said Shepherd, who grew up in The Salvation Army. “I think we as musicians are influenced by everything we hear. I came to jazz late – I was in my 20s – after starting out on classical piano, so I feel that I had a pretty deep understanding elizabeth shepherd of many other types of music (classical, religious and hip hop) that really helped explain jazz to me and bring

some of its complexities into focus in ways that I could make sense of.” For her fifth album, Shepherd teamed up with guitar genius and Herbie Hancock band member Lionel Loueke. The Signal has received rave reviews since its release. Radio Cologne in Germany called it “a soul-groove masterpiece and one of the big releases of 2014,” while Something Else in the U.S. touted it as “the most important vocal jazz record to be released all year.” Shepherd arrived on the international music scene in 2006 when her debut album, Start to Move, was voted as one of the top jazz albums of the year by the Gilles Peterson Show on BBC Radio Worldwide. Since then, the Montreal-based soul-jazz innovator has established herself as one of the most alluring and imaginative artists on
the scene today. Shepherd has shared the stage with Victor Wooten, Branford Marsalis and Christian McBride, and has opened for Jamie Callum at The Hollywood Bowl. She is also the only jazz vocalist to have ever been long listed for the Polaris Prize. Through her music, Shepherd breathes new life in to the term jazz. “I write my own music, and would classify it as jazz. Jazz was traditionally a hip term, something subversive, cutting edge, cool. It has since lost some of that glow, and I’m trying to re-infuse some of those qualities back into the kind of jazz I make,” said Shepherd. “My biggest musical influences are Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Beethoven, The Roots, and Sarah Vaughn.”

Shepherd knew from an early age the power that music can hold. Thinking back to when she grew up in the Salvation Army, where both her parents were ministers, she says music played a very important role. “We were at the church three-to-four times a week, making music every time. Music was a form of spiritual expression, as well as being a tool for social aid and social justice,” she said. While Shepherd doesn’t attend the Salvation Army any more, she has retained much of her musical upbringing from her time there. “I still feel music is a vehicle for spiritual exploration and expression, and can be a powerful tool for social change and justice.” In an age when we are all culprits of paying too much attention to our gadgets, Shepherd says that performing is one of the things in life that makes her feel fully present. “In this day of constant connectivity, I feel that my mind is perpetually being pulled in many directions and my default mode is one of heavy multi-tasking. Those activities that require that I sink into the moment and allow myself to be completely open, present and engaged are so rare; performing is one of them, and for that reason, it has become even more precious,” said Shepherd. “It is a chance for me to reconnect with myself, to connect with the other musicians on stage, and to connect with the audience. And those connections feel infinitely more real, intense and intimate than the hyper-connectivity that defines how we relate to our world.” Shepherd’s band has just as impressive credentials. Day is a freelance performer, band leader, composer, and arranger and has worked with The Denny Christianson Big Band, The Calgary Jazz Orchestra, The Montreal Gospel Choir, The Calgary Creative Arts Ensemble, and The CBC All-Star Jazz Ensemble. An accomplished composer, he has authored songs for several artists, including the song La Cubana recorded by Allistair Elliott, and is also a current faculty member

Printmakers make their mark Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan arts community is in the throes of celebrating printmaking in all its forms. With the international Okanagan Print Triennial (OPT) currently underway at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, another print exhibition is opening at a Kelowna gallery. Operated by Vernon-westside resident Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante, ARTE funktional is about to exhibit the works of Okanagan printmakers in From the Matrix. The work includes etchings, mono-prints, dry-points, and lithographs to name a few. “The featured artists work in traditional and contemporary print media,” said Sanchez de Bustemante, who has welcomed many known North and Central Okanagan artists to be a part of the show. They include UBC Okanagan creative studies professor and OPT founder Briar Craig, whose works are also about to be displayed at Vernon’s Headbones Gallery. His prints are inspired by images found in popular culture. Falkland artist Ann Kipling explores and uses different qualities of lines in etching

ic style and approach to the landscape representation. Armstrong’s Rhonda Neufeld and Rodney Konopaki’s collaborative works, Walking Lines, embody the feeling and experiences of the prairies, while Kelowna artist Lynden Beesley’s prints are informed by the intriguing stories and myths upon which western identities are founded. Vernon artist Carin Covin’s woodcuts investigate concepts of identity concerning memory and memorial, while Lubos Culen’s work examines the existential nature of the human condition. “Each of these artists featured in this exhibition give a unique application of printmaking by combining traditional and contemporary aspects, qualities, and aesthetics found within their personal creative practices,” said Sanchez de Bustamante. From the Matrix is on view at ARTE funktional from April 8 to May 8. Opening reception is April 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. The gallery is located at 1302 St. Paul St., downtown Kelowna.

In her pre and post-natal fitness classes, Marie Hayden works with clients who are celebrating one of the happiest times in their lives. But the owner of Hayden Fitness also knows that pregnancy doesn’t always end in joy. When she discovered Angel Dresses, she knew she wanted to help. B.C. Angel Dresses takes donated wedding and formal gowns and with the help of volunteer seamstresses turns them into a tiny dress or outfit for a baby who has died. Hayden found out about the organization in a round-about way. “I was in the middle of Dancing with the Vernon Stars and was looking for a dress to wear for our routine and the person who gave it to me said if I couldn’t use it, it could be donated to Angel Dresses,” said Hayden. “I said, ‘tell me more’ and then I went on Facebook and learned more and that piqued my curiosity. “I looked around and realized nobody in the Okanagan was doing this so I asked how I could get involved and we are now a collector location for the dresses (for the southern Interior).” Angel Dresses was founded by Becky Panter in Saskatchewan following the stillbirth of her son, Christopher. With its motto, “No foot is too small that it cannot leave an imprint on the world,” the Angel Dresses movement has since expanded across the country, and Hayden has volunteered to be the local representative for B.C. Angel Dresses, which has its head office in Pitt Meadows. Angel Dresses are designed to provide comfort to families by providing a beautiful gown or outfit for their final goodbye or however they choose to use it. Its founders believe that “there is no greater gift that can be given to a grieving family than affirming the importance of the life of their child by offering this simple gift.” Sewn by volunteer seamstresses, donated dresses are used to create gowns and outfits for families grieving the death of their child, and are provided free of charge to families across B.C.
Stress-Free Dog Boarding
Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star
Marie Hayden and her daughter, Amelia, nine, with some of the tiny dresses that have been created from donated wedding and formal gowns for B.C. Angel Dresses, to be given to parents whose baby has died. Hayden Fitness is a collector location for the gowns and dresses. Each dress or outfit is packed with a “Wrapped in Love” leaflet printed with the words, “In honour of your precious child we’ve sewn this little gown, with caring hands and loving hearts so comfort might be found. Knowing it is given to a baby who has died, we’ve stitched each seam with tender care and tucked much love inside.” For Hayden, a mother of two daughters, it’s a way to honour the women who are her clients, who in addition to private training, can take classes in everything from Blossoming Belly Pilates to Mom & Me Yoga. “We have these two great niches here, with pre and post-natal and everyone has been very supportive and we’ve had lots of dresses dropped off,” she said. “And we’re connected with Vernon Jubilee Hospital as well as local midwives and doulas to make them aware of this program.” The struggle now, said Hayden, is finding enough volunteer seamstresses to transform bridal and formal gown into tiny dresses and outfits. She has connected with the Canterbury Crafters at Canterbury Court in Vernon who have donated their time and skills to
make these dresses to be given to bereaved parents. The dresses that have been made so far are exquisite. Hayden opens boxes and peels back tissue paper to reveal tiny dresses with beautiful details such as lace and miniature pearls. “The detail is second to none and the volunteer seamstresses were very happy to be a part of this and for me, it’s been a great way to give back.” Completed dresses can be shipped to hospitals around the province, at no charge to parents. “People can connect on the web site or Facebook and let us know where they are and we will get a dress to them.” Gowns of any colour can be donated by dropping them off at Hayden Fitness, #201, 2500-53rd Ave. It’s also where volunteer seamstresses can pick up the gowns for transforming into Angel Dresses. For more information about Angel Dresses, call Hayden at 250-306-7474, see www.bcangeldresses.ca or see the B.C. Angel Dresses page on Facebook. The Facebook page also contains patterns for dresses and other outfits.

Sweet treats for holiest week
he holiest week for Christians around the world is Easter which is preceded by 40 days of preparation through a season called Lent. The date for Easter changes each year because of a complicated but precise formula that determines the day Easter Sunday is celebrated: It is the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring (after March 21) which can occur as early as March 22 and as late as April 25. Good Cathi Litzenberger Friday marks the death of Jesus Christ and is a fundamental part of Christianity along with the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. Many agree that this is a more important holiday than Christmas. Because Canada was founded on Christian principals, Good Friday is a federal statutory holiday across the country. Around the world there are countless traditions and foods used in celebrating Easter. Today’s recipes are two of my favourite Easter breads. The first is a recipe for hot cross buns that can be made with a bread machine and these taste as wonderful as they smell. The second recipe is for sticky cinnamon buns. Yummy! Pull-Apart Hot Cross Buns 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 1/4 cup water 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon ground cardamom 1-1/4 cups lukewarm milk

1/2 cup maple syrup 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted For the dough, measure the first seven ingredients into a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon, or blend in a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment until evenly combined. If mixing by hand, turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes, or if in a mixer, knead for about 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, 90 minutes to 2 hours. For the goo, mix the butter, brown sugar and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until melted and the mixture is bubbling. Pour this into a greased 9-x-13-inch pan and set aside. For the filling, stir the brown sugar and cinnamon together and set aside. Have the melted butter ready. Turn risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into rectangle about 18-x-12 inches. Brush entire surface of dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon brown sugar mixture. Roll up dough from the longer side and then cut roll into 12 pieces. Place these into the prepared pan, evenly spaced, cover with plastic wrap or tea towel and let rise for an hour. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Uncover the risen sticky buns and bake them for 40-45 minutes, until they are a rich golden brown. It is recommended to cool the sticky buns for 15 minutes in the pan before inverting to serve. The sticky buns are best served the day they are baked. Makes 12 buns.

Long hours of sitting, tight schedules and fast food temptation everywhere: driving for a living can make it challenging to stay healthy. If your workplace is behind the wheel, here are some ideas just for you. Pack food and
drinks from home. The best way to enjoy good food is to bring meals and snacks with you and to keep them handy. Pack leftovers, sandwiches or pre-made meals the day before. Bring basics like fresh fruit/veggies, milk, juice, yogurt, cheese, peanut butter and crackers.
Get the gear you need: Use coolers and freezer packs (or frozen water and juice as ice packs) to keep food cool. Newer coolers can be plugged in without the need for ice. Have re-usable plates and bowls, cutlery and air-tight containers on hand. Stay hydrated

ATTENTION: FNFC SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP The First Nations Friendship Centre is seeking one new Board Member. We are looking for a conscientious, talented, community-minded, volunteer Board member to help guide us in our programs and services. If you can contribute a minimum of one evening per month for Board Meetings, and have skills in any of the following areas: accounting, publicity, human resources, special events or fundraising, and you are a Society member in good standing, please apply. To find out more about whether this volunteer opportunity is right for you, please contact President, Chris Davies: email fnfc@shaw.ca You may submit a cover letter explaining your interest in becoming a Board Member and your resume to: Board of Directors First Nations Friendship Centre 2904-29th Avenue Vernon, BC V1T-1Y7 Deadline for submission is April 15th, 2015.

by packing a re-usable water bottle and keeping it full. For clean-up, bring a small container of dish soap, hand sanitizer and paper towels. Pack handy snacks: Dry fruits such as prunes, cherries, apricots and apples are full of vitamins, fiber and are great energy boosters. Make your own trail mix by combining nuts, seeds, dried raisins or cranberries and add a touch of sweetness with dark chocolate chips. Veggies make great portable snacks; just wash and precut at home; try carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes or broccoli florets with a small container of dip. Yogurt with granola is easy and delicious. Crumble granola bars into a yogurt cup for a crunchy snack packed with calcium. Get some protein from jerky, boiled eggs, cooked meats, tuna, sardines or an apple and peanut butter snack. Plan your mealtimes: Plan your day to include time for stopping
to eat. When possible, try parking by a relaxing spot like a park, a community garden or a river. Aim for three meals a day to keep your energy up. Skipping meals can make you tired, hungry and tempted to overindulge. Make healthy choices when eating out: If you need to eat out, expand your options by looking for local food markets, grocery stores, independent diners, restaurants, cafes or sub shops that offer a fresh selection. Choose options that are filling with a mix of meat and fish, whole grains and veggies. Opt for baked or grilled foods rather than battered and deep fried. Wash down your meal with water instead of a sugary drink. With a little planning, eating well on the road can be done and you will feel a whole lot better for making the effort.

B.C. Tree Fruits unveils cider Morning Star Staff
After nearly 80 years in fruit production, B.C. Tree Fruits has launched B.C. Tree Fruits Cider Company. The result is the first cider offering, Broken Ladder, which will be available at select B.C. Liquor Stores, independent beer and wine stores, and restaurants starting today. It’s a blend of six apple varieties picked from Okanagan orchards. “The craft cider category is one of the fastest growing in the beverage sector,” said Chris Pollock, B.C. Tree Fruits marketing manager. “We are an authentic, homegrown producer. Apples are locally handpicked and pressed right in our own cidery, resulting in a premium cider.” The B.C. Tree Fruits Cider Company brand has maintained the B.C. Tree Fruits leaf to identify with
“Cider is the perfect answer for apples...” — Mike Daley
the brand across Canada. “Cider is the perfect answer for apples not destined for the fresh market,” said project manager, Mike Daley. “B.C. Tree Fruits represents more than 500 families. Those families represent more than 80 per cent of the tree fruits grown in B.C. It was natural move. We have all of the varieties and the best fruit to pick from. It makes sense to add value for these families and consumers by creating a cider true to their roots.”

Earth Hour results released Morning Star Staff
Earth Hour is powering down both locally and provincially. The annual global event Saturday saw a 0.2 per cent reduction in the overall provincial load. That’s down from a one per cent reduction last year and a 1.95 per cent reduction in 2013, when Earth Hour was at its peak. Residents were urged to take charge by turning out the lights and other power sources at 8:30 p.m. for an hour. The top community was Whistler, reducing its power load by 7.2 per cent, while Vernon didn’t even make B.C. Hydro’s list of communities. Coldstream reduced its load by 1.4 per cent, followed by Enderby and Spallumcheen, both at 1.2 per cent. Overall, British Columbians saved 15 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by 0.2 per cent during Earth Hour – the equivalent of turning off about 680,000 LED light bulbs. Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the WWF. People around the world are encouraged to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics for one hour. It started as a one-city initiative in Sydney, Australia in
2007. B.C. Hydro provides tools, resources and incentives to help people conserve yearround. For more tips on how to be smart with your power, visit bchydro.com/powers-
mart. Since 2008, B.C. Hydro’s Power Smart programs have saved close to 4,776 gigawatt hours per year of electricity – enough to power 440,000 homes annually. B.C. Hydro custom-
ers can view their individual energy use for Saturday evening by logging onto MyHydro – their online account at bchydro.com/myhydro. They can get an hourly breakdown of their electricity use.

Q: A:
How does a hearing aid work and how do hearing aids perform with background noise?
The microphone in the aid picks up the sound in the environment and changes it to electrical energy that goes to a set of amplifiers and other modifying and adjusting circuits. The modified electrical signal is then sent to a miniature speaker (called a receiver) and delivered to the ear. The newest aids are smart enough to amplify certain sounds or frequencies that are tailored to each hearing loss. Engineers and scientists are designing components to deliver sound to the ear that replaces lost or distorted cues which contribute to the understanding of speech. Changes in directionality of microphones, the nature of the amplifier and fidelity of the sound in noise remain the main focus of most research. Background noise is present in everyone’s life. Having said that, even with normal hearing, separating speech from excessive background noise can be challenging. For people with normal hearing, the brain unconsciously filters out most background noise. With prolonged and severe hearing loss, the brain becomes lazy in this process because all sounds are reduced or inaudible and the ability to filter out noise diminishes. When an individual begins using the hearing aid all sounds are once again heard and it is necessary to retrain the brain in selective listening skills. It is critical that the hearing aid user participate in follow-up and counseling sessions during this period of adjustment. Once the aural rehabilitation is underway, most clients are once again able to filter out the majority of disturbing background noise.

I have heard that there is a No Frills Mortgage available and wonder if you can explain what this is?
We are seeing another media blast about a “large bank” offering a very low five year mortgage rate. The most important information is lost in the media reporting which is what the actual mortgage doesn’t allow for and the options that you would normally expect from a Lender have been removed. This is a No Frill Mortgage offer. You really have to read the fine print to know what the limits are on these types of mortgages as they will all be different from one lender to another. Having a low rate is really important but it is equally important to understand what the limits are. Here are few key points to watch for on any No Frill Mortgage offer: 1) You must sell your home to break the mortgage. 2) The higher penalty is based upon the discount you have been granted (example: Bank posted rate less the rate you were given times the # of months left in the 5 years or set at 3% of the mortgage or more ) 3) Limited prepayments or none at all-limits the ability to reduce your overall cost 4) Maximum repayment time of 25 years or less for all borrowers. 5) No ability to use Portability of the mortgage to another home or have a buyer assume your mortgage to avoid a prepayment penalty. 6) Refinancing before the five years term expires may not be available. The lack of flexibility associated with No Frills Mortgage could end up causing you major headaches down the road. Please be sure to consider what your life plan may be for the next five years before committing to such a limited product offering. We offer these products all the time but our clients understand the information up front. E&O/OAC

Q: A:
I have a small amount of water coming into my basement. A friend told me I should move my downspout from my roof gutters so that it drains farther away from my house. What do you think?
I think your friend is right. One of the major reasons that water gets into basements & one of the easiest to fix is your downspouts. Downspouts that dump water closer than 4 ft to your home are introducing a lot of extra water against your foundation. If your foundation wall has even hairline cracks in it, & almost every house does, the water will find it way through the crack and into the basement or crawlspace. If there are no cracks it can flood the perimeter foundation drains, & if the perimeter drains are collapsed or plugged, the water will find its way into the basement. A good rule to follow is if your downspouts drain onto the ground, ensure that they drain at least 4-6 ft away from the home. At one time there may have been downspout extensions but they were in the way for foot traffic or mowing lawns, so they were removed. A good solution for that is to get a hinged downspout leader that can be lifted out of the way when necessary. If your downspouts drain underground, ensure that dirt & debris cannot enter the underground drains. Another thing to remember is that if an upper roof level downspout drains onto a lower roof, that part of the lower roof will wear out much sooner & will need repairs due to the scouring action of the storm water with roof grit in it. Add a downspout extension to the lower roof gutters. Remember, water is one of the biggest enemies of a home, & anything you can do to keep the water out is a very good thing.

TIPS FOR SAFE COOKING AND HANDLING OF YOUR EASTER TURKEY * When you buy your turkey, pick it up just before you head to the checkout * Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator or immersed in cold water * Wash your prep area with sanitizer, not soap, both before and after handling the turkey. Sanitizer kills living bacteria while soap merely cleans the surface * Rinse the turkey under cold running water - this applies to both frozen and fresh turkeys - and remove the neck and giblets. Stuff the turkey * Set the oven temperature no lower than 325°F. When done, the food thermometer should reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F * Remove any stuffing from the turkey and refrigerate leftovers immediately after dinner. As well, I always freeze my leftover carcass for soup right away For more information about buying, handling and cooking your turkey, speak to any of our meat department specialists.

Football stars rate raves
ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
If football coaches around the province hadn’t heard of Vernon high school products Zac Kronbauer and Tye Kitzman before spring break, they’ve heard of them now. The two local stars, graduating from their respective high schools in June, took part in the 2015 B.C. Senior Tye Kitzman Bowl during part of spring break at the B.C. Lions’ training facility in Surrey. And both made quite an impression on the numerous junior and post-secondary school program coaches on hand for the four-day camp. Kronbauer, 18, who helped lead the Vernon Panthers to the B.C. AA Subway Bowl semifinals in the falls, was named the Senior Bowl’s top runningback. “It was pretty good,” said Kronbauer of winning the award. “There were some good players there and it was an honour
to win the award. “The camp was fun. There were all sorts of junior coaches telling us how their programs run.Junior is always a good option if we don’t get CIS (Canadian university) or NCAA (U.S. colleges and universities) scholarships right away.” Kronbauer, undecided about his future, caught the eye of former Kalamalka Lakers head coach Brad Yamaoka, now head coach of the B.C. Junior Football League’s Kamloops Broncos, who served as the Senior Bowl’s offensive co-ordinator and runningbacks coach. “I like Zac,” said Yamaoka of the player who was named B.C. offensive AA high school player of the year in 2014, and top offensive player at a 2014 spring Interior football camp, where Yamaoka first laid eyes on Kronbauer. “He’s very talented. He’s one of those kids who can do pretty much anything you ask him to to.” Like Kronbauer, Fulton Maroon standout Tye Kitzman is pondering his football future. At the Senior Bowl, the outstanding high school quarterback played a new
position: defensive corner back. And Kitzman loved it. “I’ve been practising with the (BCJFL’s) Okanagan Sun at corner back and safety, and I played corner at the Senior Bowl,” said Kitzman, 18, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 170 pounds. “I took advantage of my height. I could be really physical with receivers off the line and the coaches liked what I was doing. There were so many coaches from so many good junior teams and schools. I definitely took advantage of everything they taught.” Sun head coach Shane Beatty was the defensive coordinator for the Senior Bowl and loved what Kitzman brought. “He had a great camp,” said Beatty. “He’s long, lengthy, quick, very smart and he’s got a great demeanor about him.” Camp also included a Practice with the Pros day which featured B.C. Lions stars like quarterback Travis Lulay, linebacker Jason Arakgi and offensive lineman Dean Valli. The camp ended with the Senior Bowl game in Langley where Kronbauer and Team Yamaoka defeated Kitzman and Team Beatty 22-7.
Landels pockets field lacrosse honours Morning Star Staff
Coldstream’s Ryan Landels has been named the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) men’s field lacrosse player of the week. Landels, who plays box lacrosse with the Vernon Tigers in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League, is a junior with the Bryn Athyn College Lions in Pennsylvania. The junior attacker posted nine points on six goals and three assists while adding five groundballs across a pair of contests for the Lions. Landels did most of that damage in a 17-8 conference win
over Wells College, where he finished with game highs of five goals and three assists along with three groundballs. Landels is now fourth in the conference in both points (18) and assists (7) and fifth in goals (11) for the Lions, who improved to 4-1 overall (1-0 NEAC). He is one of six North Okanagan products on the Lions, who are coached by Vernon summer resident, Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame member Johnny Mouradian. Landels is joined on the Lions by former Tigers Nolan Frame, Connor Buick, brothers Quintin and Colten Harrish and former Armstrong Shamrock junior star Marlon Forrest.
The Green Pub Moose and Spartan Auto Bulls really don’t like one another. A week after a round-robin game which featured 23 minor penalties, the Boston Pizza Hockey League rivals resumed hostilities Monday night at Priest Valley Arena. The Moose, who took the luxurious way to the best-of-three championship series with a pair of wins, stuffed the Spartan squad 6-2 in Game 1. The second game goes tonight (6:15) at Kal Tire Place. Nanaimo Clipper grad Scott Kowalski pulled the hat trick for the Moose, who led 1-0 at the ice clean. Cory Hug supplied 1+3, while Aaron Hoffman and Steve Vallier also scored in support of James Scherck. The Moose finished second in the regular season aty 19-11, 11 points back of the Bulls. Kevin Beckner and Travis Sanderson replied for the regular-season champion Bulls, who had Travis Corrie in net. Dave Calvert produced two helpers. The Bulls, a Salmon Arm entry, took 13 minors and the Moose were assessed nine. The Bulls outshot the Moose 28-27. Game 3, if required, goes Thursday night, 8:30, at Priest Valley. The Bulls (24-6) took the tourist route to the final, bouncing the Godard Excavating Predators 5-3 Saturday night at Kal Tire Place. Adam Blair, with the winner, Kevin Beckner, Shane Burgi, Calvin Berger and Jason Kusisto handled the Bulls’ offence in front of Corrie.Brett Barnard, Jim McAvoy and Sanderson each pocketed two assists. Pete Purves, Justin Horochuk and Trevor Abel replied for the Predators, who had Chris Kingdon in net. Keith Godard earned two helpers. The third-place Predators outshot the Bulls 20-19 with both teams collecting eight minor penalties. The Predators stayed alive in the double-knockout by edging the sixth-place Rea-Son Electric Kings 2-1 Thursday night. Geoff Bevan of the Preds and Mike Burke of the Kings swapped first-half snipes before Cody Keller counted the winner at 18:25 of the second half, assisted by Kyle Walters. The Preds outshot the Kings 22-21 with Kingdon taking the win and Steve Clark the loss. The Kings were assessed five minors and the Preds four.

Penticton Vees’ goalie Hunter Miska stops a redirect by Jordan Kawaguchi of the ChillIwack Chiefs in B.C. Hockey League round-robin playoff action Sunday night at the Prospera Centre.
Vees seek third win Black Press Sports
The Interior Division champion Penticton Vees were looking to put the Chilliwack Chiefs on life support Tuesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Former Vernon Viper Demico Hannoun scored with 8:31 to go in sudden-death overtime as the Vees clipped the Chiefs 4-3 Sunday night before 2,489 fans at the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack. Chilliwack lost 7-3 to the Clippers Friday night in Nanaimo. A loss in Penticton, where the Vees very rarely lose, will mean the Chiefs will need Nanaimo to stop the visiting Vees Thursday night. Chilliwack would then need to beat the Clippers Saturday at home to finish the double round-robin series at 1-3. The teams would battle in an extra playoff tilt next Monday in Nanaimo. Patrick Newell collected a loose puck behind the Chilliwack net and fed a quick pass in front, where Hannoun bang-banged it past David Jacobson. Hannoun forced OT on a powerplay with Chilliwack’s top penalty killing d-man and captain Eric Roberts flagged for roughing. Seconds after playoff scoring king Jake Hand whiffed on a two-on-one shorthanded rush, missing a glorious chance for an insurance goal, the Vees stormed the Chilliwack net. The puck stayed out, barely, but Jacobson was down. Clutching his head, the netminder stayed on the ice for nearly two minutes. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief when he stayed in the game. But with 19 seconds left in their power play, Hannoun burned Jacobson with an extremely sharp angled shot with 2:09 left. Penticton opened the scoring just 1:41 in with Matthew Serratore pulling the trigger. Left uncovered by the Chilliwack defence, the future Air Force Academy Falcon took a cross-ice pass from Riley Alferd and fired a shot on goal. Jacobson stretched out with his right leg to rob Serratore, but couldn’t stop the rebound as the 20-year old notched his fifth of the playoffs. Chilliwack came roaring back at 10:40. Rory Bell put the puck on net from the point, and Penticton goalie Hunter Miska left a rebound rattling around the goal-mouth. Bennett Morrison swooped in and hammered it home for his second
of the postseason. The Vees regained the lead at 13:37. Blueliner Gabe Bast started the play, flinging the puck on net from the point. Jacobson couldn’t find the disc before Connor Chartier dug away at the right post and poked the puck across the line for his eighth of the playoffs. But the Chiefs battled back once more, knotting the score with 3:47 to go in period one. Charging down the right wing, Bell muscled past Vees’ d-man Patrick Sexton and one-armed a pass into the goal-mouth, where Hand popped it past Miska for his eighth of the playoffs. Referees Tyler Hawthorne and Mark Pierce waited 38 minutes to hand out the first power play, giving Penticton two minors in 57 seconds late in the middle frame to set up a Chilliwack 5-on-3. First, Dante Fabbro was banished for high sticking Jordan Kawaguchi. Then, Jarod Hilderman took two for tripping. Needing to cash in, Morrison took a cross-ice feed from Tipper Higgins, and from the right faceoff dot, lazered a shot over Miska’s glove. His second of the game, with just 26 seconds on the clock, sent the Chiefs to the third with a 3-2 lead.
Gare jumpstarts Frankfurt playoff run
Vernon’s Lanny Gare scored once in three of four games as the Frankfurt Lions swept the Ravensburg Towerstars in Round 1 of the DEL-2 league playoffs in Germany. Gare, a 36-year-old father of a two-year-old girl, pocketed 13 goals and 37 points in 46 regularseason games. This is his sixth season in Germany. The Lions placed fourth in the regular campaign, while the Towerstars were fifth. Frankfurt now takes on the second place Fischtown Pinguins. Gare boosted the Vernon Vipers to the 1999 Royal Bank Cup title in Melfort, Sask. The flashy centre produced 111 points and went on to spend four years with the University of New Hampshire Wildcats. He played four seasons in the minors, ringing up 55 points with the ECHL Victoria Salmon Kings in the 2005-06 season. Ex-Viper Ken Magowan started the season in Frankfurt, racking up 17 points in 17 games before departing.
The 2007 Okanagan Lakers lost 7-4 to the host Penticton Nighthawks in the Ice Breaker Spring Hockey Classic final Sunday. Coached by Mike Bailey and Chris Ivany, both of Salmon Arm, and Brad Hunt of Vernon, the Lakers consist of players from Vernon to Revelstoke. Tayden Lake converted with two seconds remaining as the Lakers grounded Kamloops 5-4 in the quarterfinal. Lake and Hudson Kibblewhite registered snipes as the Lakers clipped the Calgary Havoc 6-4 in a semifinal shootout with Levi Hollatz stellar in net. To u r n a m e nt game MVPs were Kibblewhite, Lake, Ben Tudan, Hollatz and Tristen Bailey. The rest of the Laker roster at the Classic included: Brayden Rypkema, Morgan Hackman, Sawyer Mayes, Hailee Hunt, Nicholas Brandner, Quinn Doray, Riley Hunt and Kade Blair. The Lakers carry sponsorship from Imagine Pools and Waterscapes Ltd, Bluejay Concrete and Milestone Fabrication. Meanwhile, the 2005 Kelowna Heat opened the spring season by winning the Heat Jamboree with an 11-2 romp over the 2004 Okanagan All Stars B team Sunday. The Heat steamrolled through the weekend at 4-0. Erik Pastro of Vernon contributed 2+6 and was a force all tourney. Austin Seibel of Coldstream was one half of the dynamic goaltending duo that gave up a tournamentlow eight goals in four games. Next up for the Heat is the Round Table Challenge in West Kelowna in two weeks.

Heidt takes college Half
Rockets high on Lind Black Press Sports
Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Aaron Heidt won the Okanagan College’s 13th annual Half Marathon Sunday in Kelowna. Heidt earned $250 by covering the 21-kilometre course in one hour and 14.49 seconds to beat Kelowna runners Jeff Vogt (1:17:19) and Rory Switzer (1:21:09). Heidt runs in the male 30-35 division. The route took runners from the campus of Okanagan College along the Abbott corridor into City Park and turned around atop the first hill on Knox Mountain. Runners then made their way back along the waterfront to Gyro Beach and eventually finished at the KLO campus. Steve Briggeman of Vernon won the male 55-59 cetegory and was 19th overall, in 1:29:46, while Vernon’s Rick Stone was third in male 40-44 and 34th overall, in 1:36:03. More than 400 runners crossed the finish line in the Half Marathon, 10-k and Relay Race. The women’s 10-k course record was shattered PHOTO SUBMITTED by Kelowna’s Christy Lovig (36:48). Salmon Arm’s Glynis Sim (38:32) finished second and Kelowna’s Vernon’s Aaron Heidt hits the finish line first in Martha Sirdevan (42:39) was third. Sunday’s Okanagan College Half Marathon The men’s 10-k was won by Greg Edgar of Kamloops (35:49). Second and third place went to the Kelowna father-son duo of Jacab and Jeremy Harris; they crossed the finish line together in 36:36. The female half marathon was won by Claire Young (1:26:44), followed by Tracy Dayman (1:33:48) and then Cindy Rhodes (1:34:19), all from Kelowna. The half marathon relay event was won by a team from Fresh Air Experience in Kelowna. The team of five runners worked together to achieve a time of 1:38:36.
One of the top midget players in Saskatchewan this season, the Kelowna Rockets were hoping Kole Lind’s transition to the major junior game would be a relatively smooth one. So far, so good for the 6-foot-2, 175-pound forward who logged his share of ice time and didn’t look at all out of place alongside Cole Linaker and Chance Braid during the first two games of the WHL playoffs against the Tri-City Americans. Kelowna led the series 2-0 heading to Kennewick Tuesday night. “We liked him in Games 1 and 2, he was on the body, he was skating and making plays… he was pretty effective,” said Rockets head coach Dan Lambert. “He’s a very intelligent hockey player and has a knack for knowing where to be on the ice.” Lind is coming off a stellar 2014-15 season with the Saskatoon Contacts
where he led Saskatchewan’s midget AAA league with 45 goals and was second overall in points with 79. While the Shaunavon, Sask. native theoretically had the skill and work ethic to spend the entire season with the Rockets, the WHL club felt it more advantageous for his development to get him plenty of ice time back in Saskatoon. Lind made the most of the chance. “It was fine going back to Saskatoon, it’s a great program so I was still able to learn there, come back here and be ready to play when they needed me,” said Lind, who the Rockets picked up in the fourth round of the 2013 WHL bantam draft. “I can’t complain, coming out of midget and getting a chance to play with one of the best organizations in hockey,” he added. “I can’t ask for much more, so I’ve been fortunate.” Lind played four late regular-season games with Kelowna.
B.C. winless at nationals Morning Star Staff

Moderately Confused
Kids need the nonfiction experience. Children need to become familiar with a variety of genres, so newspaper reading will add to their reading repertoire and mix things up a bit.
Bridge by Phillip Alder SOUTH, IS IT THIS, THAT OR THE OTHER? Anthony Trollope, a 19thcentury English author, said, “Three hours a day will produce as much as a man ought to write.” Not all authors would have agreed with that. Two who come to mind are Isaac Asimov and P.G. Wodehouse. In this deal, though, declarer, in seven spades, has three choices at trick one after West leads the heart king. What are they, and which should he select? This was a difficult bidding deal. South made what sounded to his partner like a help-suit game-try. North, holding excellent diamonds and four spades, jumped to
game. Then South, out of ideas, used Blackwood with a void and finally guessed well to bid seven spades. (Users of textbook Roman Key Card Blackwood would have known that North had the diamond king, not the club king.) The natural reaction is immediately to discard declarer’s club loser on dummy’s heart ace. But if South does that with this layout, he goes down one, falling foul to the unlucky 4-0 diamond break. There are two other trick-one choices. Declarer can discard a diamond on the heart ace. Then, after drawing trumps, South can play three rounds of diamonds, ruff a diamond in his hand, return to dummy
with a trump, and pitch his club loser on the 13th diamond. Alternatively, my pick: Play low from the dummy, ruff in hand, draw trumps, and turn to diamonds. When South sees the 4-0 split, he will realize the necessity for the diamond discard on the heart ace.

Important Notice to Resource Road Users
Melody Fagerlund (above left) and McKenny Barry experiment with Mentos and diet cola in a Fizzy, Foamy Science spring break camp at the Okanagan Science Centre. Gabriel Beaupre watches his dry ice experiment overflow a glass in the Playing with Potions camp.
A province wide, safety-oriented project is underway to standardize twoway radio communications on forest service roads and some resource roads. This project includes standardized signage, new dedicated resource road radio channels and standardized call procedures. The Okanagan Shuswap Forest District, along with other districts in the Southern and Northern Interior, will be implementing new resource road radio channels commencing on May 4, 2015. Districts on the Coast and in the Cariboo have already transitioned or are currently transitioning. Forest industry workers and other road users using mobile radios must have their radios reprogrammed to incorporate the new resource road channels. It is recommended that road users retain current radio frequencies until they are sure they are no longer required.
Incredibly Efficient Enjoy incredible savings and quiet comfort with a new Lennox® system from S.P. SEYMOUR LTD.
New signs posted on local resource roads indicate which radio channel to use and the calling interval, with drivers required to indicate their direction of travel and their vehicle type. Drivers using mobile radios must call according to the posted channels and call protocols. All road users are reminded that forest service roads are not radiocontrolled, but radio-assisted. All users should drive safely and according to road and weather conditions. It is strongly recommended that all resource road users exercise additional caution during this transition period. Local resource road safety committees have worked together to implement these changes. More information (including radio communications protocols, radio channels, maps and standardized signs) is available online at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/hth/engineering/Road_Radio_Project.htm If you have questions about this project, please contact the Okanagan Shuswap Forest District Office (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations) at (250) 558-1700, the website above, or Industry Canada at 1 800 667-3780.

Cat strategy supported Morning Star Staff
The results of a recent survey shows that B.C. is on the right track when it comes to dealing with outdoorliving cats. The U.S. national survey, commissioned by the Best Friends Animal Society late last year, reveals overwhelming support for the trap-neuter-return (TNR) method of managing populations of unowned, free-roaming community cats. A long-time issue in B.C., cat overpopulation is a crisis that the B.C. SPCA has been working to address, along with other rescue groups and humane organizations, veterinarians, cat coalitions, volunteers and animal lovers. While the study is American, B.C. SPCA policy and outreach officer Amy Morris suggests Canadian attitudes toward free-roaming cats tend to mirror those in the U.S. “Though we have lower population numbers than in the U.S., we still see large numbers of free-roaming cats in colonies,” said Morris. “Many cat lovers provide food, water and shelter for the cruelly abandoned felines, but they lack the financial resources to pay for spay and neuter surgeries.” The survey asked respondents to indicate their preference from among three options for managing community cats, and 68 per cent chose “sterilize and vaccinate healthy stray cats and return them to where they were captured (TNR),” compared to only 24 per cent who chose “impoundment by shelter staff followed by lethal injection for any cats not adopted” and the eight per cent who chose “do nothing.” The second question asked which one of six factors most influenced survey participants’ response to the first question, with 36 per cent choosing the health/welfare of the cats, followed by public health (32 per cent), cost (16 per cent), envi-

Stray cats are part of the B.C. SPCA trap-neuter-return method in some communities. ronment/conservation (10 per cent), property rights (four per cent) and other (one per cent). Tens of thousands of cats and kittens live outdoors in B.C., suffering from illness, injuries, starvation, frostbite and predator attacks.
Using the TNR method is one of the ways the B.C. SPCA is working to help tackle the cat overpopulation crisis as a priority in its 2014-2018 strategic plan, where donor funds designated to sterilizing cats are earmarked toward helping
these outdoor, freeroaming cats whose offspring suffer the most. The B.C. SPCA dedicates roughly $2 million each year on spay/neuter programs in communities throughout B.C. And it ensures that every dog, cat and rabbit adopted from an SPCA shelter is sterilized prior to adoption. “In 2014, $80,000 was allocated to assist outdoor cats, with another $80,000 being distributed in 2015,” said Morris. “The B.C. SPCA ensure projects are targeted and successful: 100 per cent of the cats in a colony are sterilized, and colony caretakers provide ongoing monitoring in case any additional cats are illegally abandoned. They ensure any new arrivals also receive spay or neuter surgeries.” Visit spayneuter.ca for more information.
