Cosens Bay safety makes waves RICHARD ROLKE
“An accident is just waiting to happen.”
Morning Star Staff
Proponents have made their case for a contentious road right-of-way through Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. Members of the Cosens Bay Property Owners Society urged the Regional District of North Okanagan board Wednesday to support a Ministry of Transportation bid to have a 20-metre right-of-way removed from the park so safety and maintenance issues can be addressed along Cosens Bay Road. “It doesn’t meet ministry standard,” said Rob Johnston, CBPOS spokesperson. “There is no line of sight. An accident is just waiting to happen.” However, RDNO has already indicated that it opposes a right-of-way greater than what is needed for safety and drainage measures. “Everybody agrees safety can be addressed without a great right-of-way swath,” said Doug Dirk, an RDNO board member. CBPOS insists the ministry’s plan to remove the right-of-way from the park would allow

the agency to manage the road, which services residents of the Cosens Bay community as well as park users. “It’s not just a road leading to a cabin colony. It’s a road leading through a park people love and want to see,” said Robert Hollier, a society director. Johnston added that motor vehicle accidents, including fuel spills, can negatively impact the environment. “We enjoy the park. We’re in it all of the time but you need safe roads.” There have been suggestions that a rightof-way could allow for electricity and other services to extend to Cosens Bay, which could lead to more development. Johnston doesn’t deny the prospect of utilities

and says possible sewer could protect Kalamalka Lake water quality. “Our community is developed in a regulated environment and the tax base is significant.” During its presentation, CBPOS’ representation was challenged. “Do you represent the majority of people out there? We’ve heard there’s a small number pushing for the road?” said Mike Macnabb. NORD director. CBPOS has 55 paid members. “The society represents a majority of the properties out there,” said Peter Rook, with the group. Juliette Cunningham, RDNO director, insists there must be a balance between a safe road and protecting the natural integrity of the park. “The ideal thing is to find a compromise so we all believe we’ve won,” she said. RDNO has requested a delegation from the Ministry of Environment, which oversees the park. “Then we will have all of the viewpoints,” said director Catherine Lord.
WorkSafe B.C. is investigating a logging accident east of Lumby Wednesday morning that resulted in one man being airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital. Three men from an Enderby contracting firm were working in the bush 34 kilometres east of Lumby off Highway 6 and approximately 45 kilometres up a forest service road, in the Keefer Lake area, when a dislodged tree came sliding down the mountainside, striking the three men. Emergency personnel were called just before 8:30 a.m. after the loggers reported to the company that they had been injured. The contracting firm had first aid on-site. “Two of the men were able to walk out and were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for assessment and treatment,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The third man was airlifted from the scene, thanks in large part to Vernon Search and Rescue, whose helicopter winch was lowered and the injured man was put in a basket and taken to a waiting air ambulance, which transported the man to Kelowna General Hospital. Vernon Search and Rescue was called in after a half-dozen fellow workers were unable to carry the injured man out of the bush due to the steepness of the slope. A spokesperson for the contracting company said the injured logger was treated for a possible orbital fracture (injury to the bone of the eye socket) and was released from hospital. He will be re-assessed next week. “I am very pleased with the response of Vernon Search and Rescue and with all of the emergency crews,” said the contracting spokesperson. WorkSafe B.C. has assigned two officers to investigate the incident.

Funtastic lineup announced Morning Star Staff
Get ready to rock at the North Okanagan’s largest music festival. The lineup for the June 26 to 29 Funtastic A&W Music Festival has been announced and it includes Bif Naked, Moist and tribute bands BC/DC (AC/ DC), The Nightrain (Guns N’ Roses) and Leggz (ZZ Bif Naked Top). “The festival is an integral component of the Funtastic slow-pitch tournament, drawing up to 6,000 patrons an
evening,” said Wee Yee, Funtastic executive director. Bif Naked, who will be the lead act on Friday night, known for such hits as I Love Myself Today and more recently The Only One, has toured North America and Europe and shared the bill with Snoop Dogg, Billy Idol, Sarah McLachlan, Chrissie Hynde and the Foo Fighters. On Saturday, it’s tribute night and BC/DC will bring AC/DC hits to the stage while The Nightrain pays homage to Guns N’ Roses and Leggz covers the hits from ZZ Top. On Sunday, the main act is Moist, a ‘90s alternative band that has won Junos and MuchMusic Video awards for songs such as Push and
Resurrection. Among the other acts during the festival are The Goods, The Young ‘uns, The Dirt, Shawn Lightfoot Band and Hog Wild. A&W Music Festival tickets go on sale May 11 at Funtastic’s office at 3401 35th Ave. or online at funtasticsports.ca. Tickets are available as a $25 daily pass or a $50 weekend pass for all three days of the music festival. “All money raised is redistributed back to the community through the community grant program,” said Yee. “To date Funtastic has given back more than $1.6 million to non-profit organizations, clubs and service clubs.”

Film highlights mussels threat www.prairiecoastequipment.com
KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
Imagine if we all woke up tomorrow and the forests of B.C. had been killed off and turned into a vast desert. That’s what a Vernon filmmaker says could happen to our lakes and rivers in a heart-beat should the invasive zebra and quagga mussels arrive in B.C. and infest our waterways. Brynne Morrice, an actor and filmmaker who lives partly in New York and partly in Vernon, has released a six-minute documentary called Mussel Threat, spotlighting the potential dangers of the invasive mussels on B.C. water systems. The $5,000 project was funded through a kickstarter campaign and released Wednesday. “These mussels, when they get into a lake or river, they basically turn it into an aquatic desert,� said Morrice. “If tomorrow we woke up in B.C. and all of our beautiful green, lush forests had turned into deserts, that would be a pretty catastrophic change to our province. You have to think of these mussels like that. They turn the water into aquatic deserts. There is nothing left except these mussels. The communities that have experienced this...there is no going back. We would be facing a new status quo that we would never heal from and B.C. would be a far less wonderful

already. In 2012 a boat launched into Shuswap Lake with a zebra mussel attached to it. Luckily it was dead and did not infest the lake. Then last March a boat infected by the mussels was stopped at a border crossing at Osoyoos, heading for B.C. waters. “People who really understand, who really get this, are up in arms,� said Morrice, a W.L. Seaton Secondary graduate. “This is a major issue. This is going to affect the entire province in a profound way.

The mussels have been found in the Great Lakes, in North Dakota and as close as Nevada, just a day and a half drive to the B.C. border. They can survive outside of water for 10 days or in wet carpet or the bilge area of a boat for up to 30 days. It wouldn’t take much for a boat to pass through the border, into B.C. and zebra and quagga mussels would be infesting a local lake and devastating the ecosystem, killing off native species.

The driver of the truck told police he looked both ways before proceeding but did not see the woman on her scooter. The truck’s driver was not injured.

School district braces for cuts Morning Star Staff
North OkanaganShuswap school trustees are preparing to swing the axe. During Tuesday’s board meeting, secretary-treasurer Sterling Olson presented a long list of possible cuts which the board will have to consider as it works towards balancing the 2015/16 operating budget. “We don’t have a complete and exhaustive list. Really what we’d like to do is float this out and through the feedback process maybe develop some additional items for consideration and then prioritize which would cause the least disruption,” he said. The combination of $890,000 in additional cost pressures and a pro-

jected revenue decline of $984,035 results in a projected operating budget shortfall of $1.87 million for the upcoming school year. Olson pointed out that just because an item is on the list does not mean it will be eliminated. The report identifies some $2.5 million in cuts, which is more than trustees need to make. “Some suggestions are on the list but are placeholders and the financial savings have not yet been worked

tough, let’s not lose sight of the fact we still have over a $59 million budget and employs nearly 700 people. We would all like to have more money but we still have a significant amount of funds that we have to make the best choices we can with,” said Borthistle. “There is no doubt that in removing these items, if some become budget reductions, that our level of service will drop. We need to recognize that fact and transform our system to deliver the best education possible with the funds that we have.”

An alleged longtime grudge may be the reason behind an Enderby assault Wednesday. RCMP say a 59-year-old Salmon Arm man suffered a laceration after being assaulted in the 800 block of George Avenue shortly before 4 p.m. “Indications are a group of men had been drinking at a bar and decided to follow one man after he left the bar,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “One man was assaulted. He was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment of his laceration.” Molendyk said the investigation revealed Wednesday’s assault may have had something to do with an incident 15 to 20 years earlier involving a baseball bat. A 48-year-old Armstrong man walked over to the nearby Enderby RCMP detachment and turned himself into police. He also turned over a knife. The man was held in custody and could be facing charges in connection with the incident which remains under investigation.

tions to deaf/hard of hearing, gifted, helping teachers, grief and mental health counselling) and in administration/ operations/transportation (reducing viceprincipal and principals’ time, clerical, education assistants, services and reducing supplies, payroll staff, and time for painters, electrician, carpenter and ground staff). With the report compiled, superintendent Glenn Borthistle says the board and the public have a chance to see what is being considered. “Although this is

A lasting friendship
t was a stealth move on my part. I had seen the little blonde-haired girl playing on the swing set in her backyard down the street in our close-knit suburban Montreal neighbourhood. One day, I decided to barge in on her territory. “Hi, I’m Kristin. Let’s play.” There was no asking. I just wandered into her backyard and demanded she play with me. It was the start of a beautiful friendship. That was 1973, one year before each of our little sisters were born. Before life became a maze of study, career, boyfriends, heartache, husbands, kids, and lots of shenanigans in between. Kristin Froneman Lisa is still my best friend. Even though the time-space continuum has separated us over the years, we have always found a way to come back to each other like life has never passed. Our storied friendship is legendary – at least in our own minds. We still love to regale each other, and whomever will listen, with stories of our mischievous past whenever we meet. There’s the time, we (make that, I), decided that my mom was taking too long picking us up from ballet class. So, in our leotards and tutus we walked over to Lakeshore Drive, a busy thoroughfare into the city, and stuck out our thumbs. I think I had seen someone hitchhike in a movie before. My mom was the one who saw us, and let’s just say there was some explaining to do when she picked us up. Eventually all was forgiven until the day we decided to welcome our neighbours to the fold. In what was probably my brilliant idea, we went over to their house and wrote our names in bright red crayon all over its facade. The neighbours promptly figured out who the Nobel Prize award winners were who scrawled on their shiny and new white stucco,
AT RANDOM
and marched over to my mom to complain. With bucket and soap in hand, we mended our ways – for a time. My family moved from Québec to Toronto in 1977, and Lisa’s family left soon after to live on a farm in Mannville, Alta. We continued our friendship as pen pals and even started up our own fashion label, with the ingenious tag L&K Fashions, where we sent our latest drawn designs to each other. On July 29, 1981, on the morning of Lady Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding, I took my first flight without my parents to Edmonton, where Lisa greeted me with open arms. A few years later, she and her family left farm life and returned to the city, this time moving to Mississauga - a few Go Train stops from Toronto. We were inseparable. Our teenage years were fraught with ups and downs, which come with hormones and boys, but we managed to have fun going to her grandparents’ cottage, on camping trips with my parents, to some crazy parties and some great concerts. We had each other’s back, although there were times when I was jealous of her making new friends and doing things without me. Our friendship eventually evolved into a deep understanding of one another’s needs, even when physical contact was not possible. However, we did follow each other through adulthood - me to college in Belleville, and she to university in nearby Peterborough, before we both made the move west - me to Victoria, and her to Vancouver a year later. She would eventually meet the love of her life and start a family with first a daughter and then a son, and a new home in the heart of the Kootenays. My destiny would take a little longer, but eventually I would find myself 350 kilometres away from her – the approximate distance from Vernon to Nelson. In 40-plus years, we have seen each other through marriages (we were each other’s bridesmaids), the birth of our kids, the deaths of our fathers. We grow older and wiser, laughing, crying and waxing poetic about it all. I am so glad I barged into her backyard that fateful day.
It’s time to do away with plastic microbeads in our cosmetics, cleansers and toothpastes. There is good reason to believe these plastic microbeads are already clogging up the bodies of miniscule marine life after being swept down the drains and excreted through ocean outfalls. Even in areas with sewage treatment, the tiny flakes of plastic are still finding their way into the Great Lakes and other bodies of water in disturbing concentrations. Europeans are ahead of North America in the fight against microplastics in everyday products. As an example, two Dutch-based advocacy groups launched an app in 2012 that identifies which products contain plastic microbeads. But the momentum is shifting in North America. New Jersey and Illinois have banned the manufacture and sale of plastic microbeads in cosmetic product. Consumers are also getting more conscientious about plastic waste, and should be applauded for avoiding products that contain plastic beads. But why do manufacturers continue to use plastic microbeads in their products? Exfoliation and esthetics are the advertised reasons, but it really comes down to cost-savings, which hardly justifies their continued use. It turns out natural exfoliants like rice, apricot seeds, nut shells and even bamboo work even better than microbeads for exfoliation because they have rough edges. Companies like Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, The Body Shop, L’Oreal, Colgate-Palmolive and others are sensing the shift in direction and have already started phasing out microbeads in an effort to eliminate their use by 2015. Environment Canada is studying the potential toxicity of microplastics, but government does has a way of dredging through any new regulatory measures. In the meantime, avoid purchasing any products with polyethylene or polypropylene in the ingredients list. Aquatic life will thank you for it. -Victoria News

Minister responds to road process
am writing to clarify a few pieces from an article that ran April 3, 2015 (Cosens Bay Road concerns kicked into high gear). The boundaries of Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, like those of most of our class A parks, are described in legislation. Boundaries when described in legislation are not made by cabinet. The decision to amend legislated park boundaries requires a vote by all members of the Legislature. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) is currently preparing its stage two application for Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, following the cabinet-approved provincial protected area boundary adjustment policy, procedures and guidelines. Consultations with First Nations, stakeholders and the public are all part of the rigorous process set out for proponents seeking a park boundary adjustment.
COMMUTER TRAIN NEEDED I am responding to the rail corridor between Kelowna and Coldstream. There are many plans out there to do what is best for the old rail line. Well, I have an idea also and I am sure I am not alone. There are many travellers out there on Highway 97 going to and from the coast, shopping or making the daily commute. If we were in Europe, this would already be a dedicated commuter rail line. What a great way to start your day with a coffee-to-go and a seat to sit in and look out the window for a change instead of whiteknuckle driving in the rat race and missing the view. This line basically goes from city centre to city centre and I bet it could have a few centrally located drop-off areas that can lead you to a connecting bus or a short walk from your place of work. I have been told the cost of upgrading this line for the trains is the main reason why it is not used for freight any more (adding more transport trucks to the highway). Commuter trains are lighter than freight trains so would not the cost be less to fix or maintain the line? Could the fee being charged not eventually cover the costs? Maybe the Ministry of Transportation would kick in to rebuild as ultimately less vehicles on the highway would reflect less cost of road maintenance. For many years, this has been a rail line
MoTI, as the proponent for the proposed boundary amendment, hosted an open house last summer to obtain input on the proposal, and the public will have so why not make the investment and keep it that way? What a great tourist trip train. And with the proper marketing, I think this could be a great venture for Canadian National. I can just see in the future, after we get our heads out of our gas tanks, maybe 10 or 20 years after the money has been spent to remove ties and rails, add gravel, pave it or what ever is proposed, the need for transporting more people to their work will be re-evaluated and someone will be saying, "Let's put a commuter train on the line." That's usually how it works. As a kid growing up, trains were a great, safe, relaxing way to travel. It is too bad that we seem to be moving away from this. There are great rail lines all over this country and unfortunately, many have been abandoned. Let's not lose this line also. It's too bad there are so many groups trying to make this particular corridor their own. Hopefully a practical solution can be reached. I vote for a commuter train. Corrinne Cormier KEEP ROADS CLEAN Spring is the time of year when the mess along our roadsides surfaces once again. We can complain about the litter and its causes, but litter will not disappear. We have to pick it up which is a thankless task. I would like to thank the following
additional opportunities to provide feedback in an upcoming 45-day comment period. When the stage two application is Foothills residents who recently cleaned up along six kilometres of Silver Star Riad on a terribly rainy and cool morning. The participants were D. Kennedy, D. and D. Dunlop, M. Roney and F. Green. It would be great if all residents and business owners in Vernon maintained the roads and streets, including allowances, in front of their homes and establishments. Vernon’s appearance would be greatly enhanced. However, be aware of the following. You are obviously responsible for your own safety and possibility of injury. If you organize a group clean-up, you should consider having your volunteers sign a waiver or release of liability so you are not liable for any accident or injury sustained by any of the volunteers. The Internet provides templates for waivers but you might want to get some legal advice after you have selected one. The City of Vernon will not supply you with one. If you or your group wants to be part of the city’s Adopt-a-Road initiative, you or your group must currently have $3 million public liability and sign the city’s waiver of liability so the city is in no way responsible for any accidents or injuries. If organizing your own group clean-up, check first to see if the city will be willing to pick up your bags and at what location. It’s annoying we have to be so conscious of possible legal problems but you need not be deterred from litter pick-up.
submitted, it will be reviewed by BC Parks staff and forwarded to me for my consideration. If I support the boundary adjustment application, I will make a recommendation to cabinet and, if supported by cabinet, an amendment to the Protected Areas of B.C. Act will be prepared for the consideration and vote of all members of the Legislature. The impact on the park, the feasibility of alternative alignments that avoid the park, and the environmental and socioeconomic impacts are all factors that are considered when determining whether or not to make a boundary adjustment. Since 2004, just 0.027 per cent (3,827 hectares) of the 14 million hectares in the provincial protected areas system has been affected by boundary adjustments. During the same period, more than 3.3 million hectares were added.

The average woman applies more than 500 chemicals daily. Bonus bottles available LIMITED TIME ONLY
Nail Polish
Deodorant
Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.
Why should you be concerned?
Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.
Xeno-Detox Every Day
EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance. So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www. ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www. safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself. Add EstroSense® with Milk Thistle Extract to your daily routine!

News Washrooms prompt action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A team effort has developed to ensure ongoing safety at public washrooms in downtown Vernon. Community policing, bylaw compliance and social agencies are pursuing a number of approaches because of some drug activity in the washroom facility by Cenotaph Park and the transit exchange. “I don’t want to raise a level of fear among the public,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who is part of the process. “I want people to feel comfortable using the facility. I don’t think there’s a real threat.” Sharkey Among the actions being considered are enhanced lighting, leaving the facility doors open and perhaps adjusting the hours of operation. It appears that most of the drug activity was occurring during the winter. Among those involved in the process is Annette Sharkey, with the Social Planning Council. “This is an issue all communities face with public washrooms,” said Sharkey. “But Vernon stands out because of the co-operative approach we take. It’s about getting the word out and education.” Sharkey says the city’s bylaw compliance officers help deal with potential social concerns. “They have been monitoring situations and when they see something that can escalate, they come to the service providers and they work together. The Downtown Vernon Association has also been great.”
Motorist arrested Morning Star Staff
Charges are pending in a single-vehicle rollover accident near Vernon Tuesday. Police received a call shortly after 6 p.m. that a rollover accident had occurred in the area of Kalamalka Lakeview Drive which involved three people. “The caller advised that there were injuries caused by the crash and requested emergency personnel,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. RCMP officers attended the scene along with fire and ambulance crews. Officers spoke with the three occupants of the vehicle which had rolled. “In speaking with everyone, it was found that the driver of the 1995 Ford truck at the time of the accident may have been under the influence of liquor,” said Molendyk. The 19-year old male driver was arrested and is expected to face charges of impaired driving causing bodily harm.

Taxes raised 1.85 per cent ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Armstrong residents will face a modest tax hike. The city is nearing completion of its fiveyear financial plan, which must be in to Victoria by May 15. “We have proposed a property tax increase of 1.85 per cent,” said city chief financial officer Terry Martens at a special public meeting on the plan Monday. “The effect of this increase is $13.77 on the average assessed residential property.” There will also be a 1.5 per cent, or approximately $2.22, increase in water user fees, which reflects the residential mock billing rates that the city is using now for its mock water meter billing until it is implemented fully. There is also a proposed 1.7 per cent, or $1.31, increase in residential garbage collection fees. There is no planned change to sewer fees and no service level changes. For 2015, the city is planning a total operating budget of $5.63 million for general city operations. It does not cover capital costs. The city’s 2015 proposed capital budget is $1.63 million. “Funding for the capital budget will come
“The effect of this increase is $13.77...” — Terry Martens
from reserves, debt, federal grants, operations, developers and others,” said Martens. Major capital projects on the books this year include one that is already underway, a complete reconstruction and water main replace on Okanagan Street from Wood Avenue to Patterson Avenue. Other projects include the renovation at the fire hall, which the city and Township of Spallumcheen are each paying 40 per cent of the $700,000 cost. The city will pay $350,000 over two years. New public works vehicles are also planned
to be purchased this year. Among the major capital projects planned for the next five years include spending $5 million on sewer treatment plant improvements, most of which the city hopes to pay with grant funding. “We have some big applications into grant funding,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “We’ll be waiting for grant funding. If it takes an extra couple of years to get grants, we’ll be waiting for that. We plan to do it but if grants don’t come through, our money will stay in reserves until we get matching grant money.”
One member of the public asked a question about general municipal tax revenue climbing from $1.8 million in this year to nearly $2.5 million in 2019. Martens said the city expects to be paying for police services in 2017 as its population grows past 5,000, which is the number required for municipalities to pay for police service. “It looks worse here (five-year plan) because the provincial police tax that everyone is paying on their tax notice will come off,” said Martens. “For example, in 2017, we’re raising our tax rate quite a bit higher but that provincial tax will be dropping off so the net effect on the tax notice should be very minimal.” Martens presented a break-even balanced budget for all five years.

the school district chose to evacuate Lavington Elementary as a precaution, even though it was not in the evacuation area, during the gas main break in November. “They chose to evacuate the school when they didn’t need to,” said Trevor Seibel, Coldstream’s chief administrative officer. “It created some unnecessary angst.” Residents who were not in the 300-metre evacuation area saw the school being evacuated and wondered why they hadn’t received notice. Meanwhile Coun. Richard Enns appreciated the presentation but has concerns. “I’m quite pleased to hear there’s so much work that’s been done that may relate to concerns in our area,” said Enns. But he would like to see more complete information obtained on what is being carried via rail, development of a better hazardous materials response and increased co-operation between industry, school district and first responders. Watson explained that the rail companies and transport companies have to notify local government of anything flammable coming through, but very little information is actually received. “We have a lot of product that moves through here,” said Watson, noting a lot of it is flammable. The top three hazards to the area, in order, are: interface fire, hazardous materials and flooding. All residents are urged to have a grab and go bag packed at all times in the event of an emergency, which contains necessary medications, water, keys and insurance papers.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE LIAR
Shelby Foxworth lost her husband. Then she lost her illusions … The man who took her from Tennessee to an exclusive Philadelphia suburb left her in crippling debt. He was an adulterer and a liar, and when Shelby tracks down his safedeposit box, she finds multiple IDs. The man she loved wasn’t just dead. He never really existed. Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter and heads south to seek comfort in her hometown, where she meets someone new: Griff Lott, a successful contractor. But her husband had secrets she has yet to discover. Even in this small town, surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she knows—and threatens Griff, as well. And an attempted murder is only the beginning …

Impaired drivers a concern Morning Star Staff
RCMP officers have been dealing with a rash of impaired drivers in the Lumby area. Over the past three weeks, at least six drivers have been charged. One was caught April 3 at Highway 6 and Mountainview Road while another was caught on Highway 6 in Lavington on April 1. Members of North Okanagan Traffic Services processed another three over Henry Proce the Easter weekend, and, on April 10, another driver was arrested as he parked in front of his home on Grandview Avenue in the midafternoon. The man had already been arrested for drunk driving back in September, and that charge is still before the courts. “In addition, he was already prohibited from driving due to a lengthy driving history,” said Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce. Stolen vehicle Lumby officers responded to a report of a stolen vehicle from Catt Avenue April 6, although it appears the vehicle was stolen the night before, sometime after 1 a.m. The silver 2000 Audi was found two days later about four kilometres up the Noble Canyon Forest Service Road in Coldstream. “The vehicle had been burned and was reduced to a mere shell,” said Proce. “The car was also shot full of holes from what appeared to be a shotgun.” Police are asking anyone who might know

anything about this theft and arson to contact the Lumby RCMP at 250-547-2151, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Keep valuables out of sight The police would like to remind residents to lock up vehicles and do not leave valuables in plain sight. This was a harsh reminder for two Lumby residents on April 10. “The two were walking on the salmon trail in the evening when they actually witnessed their vehicle being entered and a purse being stolen by a thief,” said Proce. “Unfortunately in this case, they had left a window open and the purse in plain sight.” The two saw a suspect drive away and his vehicle was later spotted in downtown Lumby. “Our officers were able to locate the suspect on foot near Faulkner Avenue and he was arrested,” said Proce. A 36-year-old Lumby resident has been released from custody to attend court later in June. Tires taken Lumby RCMP received a report April 12 of a theft of four new Cooper brand, 16-inch tires from a residence in the 1800 block of Creighton Valley Road. Police are asking for the public’s assistance regarding the theft. Vandalism to loader A front-end loader belonging to JPW Road Maintenance, parked in the gravel pit on Trinity Valley Road, had its windows smashed out. The incident was reported April 13. “Police will increase patrols in the area and are looking for any information from the public in helping to locate those responsible,” said Proce.

Local ladies raise the bar Continued from A17 Judy Mallet was born and raised in Alberta. After high school, she completed her licensed practical nurse training at Edmonton University Hospital. In 1970, she moved to Vernon, where she met and married her husband, Rod. They have one son, Jason. Judy has worked at Butcher Boys in Vernon for 41 years. As head cashier, she leads by example, setting the standard of exemplary customer service for which Butcher Boys is widely regarded. Judy is passionate about her work and greets every known customer by name. She would rather stay beyond the end of her shift than keep customers waiting, and she has even been known to run out to the parking lot in pursuit of the customer who left groceries behind at her till. A fun-loving, hardworking and community-minded volunteer, Judy has been involved with several charities and fundraisers over the years, including Santas Anonymous for 28 years, Jeans Day and the Canadian Diabetes Association. Most notably, Judy organizes the Vernon Hospice House
barbecue and silent auction at Butcher Boys. This particular fundraiser is in memory of coworker Chris Huculak, who died from cancer in 2008. To date, Judy and her Butcher Boys colleagues have helped raise a total of $68,809 for the North Okanagan Hospice Society. In 2009, Judy helped organize a Butcher Boys fundraiser for a family that had to stay in the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver for several months when their son almost lost his life. This effort resulted in a donation of $8,000 to the family. Judy’s hobbies include motorcycle rides with her husband, trips to the casino, socializing and reading.

She has created and facilitates a number of programs that provide an opportunity for parents and children to make new connections and engage in new activities and adventures. These programs include Parenting Isn’t Easy, Little Owl Family Circle, Natural Connections and Playful Art. Anne spent considerable time finding funding for all these projects, which are offered through the Family Resource Centre. In addition to the guidance and support she has been able to offer through these various groups, Anne has devoted much of her own time to help where she perceived as need. Examples include sending out a request for a daycare requiring coverage and for a parent in need of items. When she learned of a family with medical needs, Anne personally approached local businesses and was able to

Since then, Deb and her company have received numerous nominations and awards, including being voted best mortgage company in the North Okanagan in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and winning the professional service category at the 2014 Vernon Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. In 2014, Deb was listed among the top six influential women in the industry in the Canadian Association of Associated Mortgage Professionals magazine. Deb is a consummate community supporter and consistently takes on leadership roles in her many volunteer positions.

The resort is asking riders to share their stories and photos of anyone they know that has made the mountain bike community a better place. “It could be anything, like the simple act of someone helping you with a flat tire,” said Ian Galbraith, summer business manager. “Or it could be a volunteer in your community, someone who taught you to ride or someone who came to your aid after a crash.” Simply post your picture and story on Instagram (@ SilverStarBikePark), Facebook, or Twitter (@SilverStarBike) using #MTBKindness and the resort will share the stories and reward

Trust appears to be one of the main issues of the no campaigns as residents question whether they are being given the entire story by the District of Lake Country. “We don’t think costs will be kept as low as they are . saying,” said Oyama resident Roger Bailey. . “There is nothing very clear and the district had the ability when the alternate approval process failed to call a couple public meetings and get some input. But instead they moved to the earliest possible date for the referendum with no public meetings again and that is a little suspicious. Why are we getting pushed into this as Lake Country residents?” Meanwhile Mayor James Baker is defending council’s actions in the matter, saying it’s been difficult because property negotiations are done in-camera and the main purchase discussions are done by the CN Rail acquisition team being led by Kelowna. Baker said if the community votes no to the rail corridor, the municipality will miss out on a major opportunity to acquire land. “If we don’t look at this as an opportunity and say no to it, what (other) opportunities are we going to have?” he said. “People are coming to us saying we didn’t spend money to save the golf course but very few municipal golf courses make any money. People are upset we aren’t spending money on a swimming pool but the taxes for that would be phenomenal. This (rail corridor) is an asset with potential to be a revenue generator and people are saying we don’t know what it will cost. We’re saying it will cost very little given the experience with other jurisdictions with rail trails going through their communities.” KEVIN PARNELL

Vernon holding B.C. Open judo Morning Star Staff
As a tyke, Sydney Grevatt followed her mom to the dojo in Red Deer and loved seeing grown men toss one another to the judo mat. Now 14, Grevatt will be among 200 athletes competing in a B.C. Open Tournament Saturday at the Vernon Curling Club. “I used to go to the judo club during the adult classes and watched all the big guys throw everybody around and I always thought it would be really cool if I was the one throwing people around,” said Grevatt, a green belt. Her mom, Donna Hanson, grew up in Vernon and is one of four sensei coaching with the local club. Sydney takes her fighting seriously. “I tend to usually have a strategy how to go about the fights,” said Grevatt, whose ultimate goal is the Olympics. “You have to plan out what kind of throws you are going to do. You can’t always just go out there and wing it.” Grevatt cross trains with soccer, basketball and track and field. She says judo helps her jump higher and run faster. Athletes from Germany, England and the U.S. will fight from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Also representing Vernon is Brendan Yakura, who celebrates his 15th birthday at the tournament. Yakura’s father, Dean, is a sensei as was Brendan’s grandfather. “I started at age seven,” said Brendan, a roadrunner in soccer. “I wasn’t so good right away. My first tournament was this Vernon one about seven, eight years ago, and I lost all my fights.” Yakura is a brown belt with great balance he uses when downhill skiing. Asked about his strengths, the smiling Yakura replied: “My agility and my technique. I’m strong, but there are some stronger guys. but I usually win with my technique and speed. If I start getting pulled down or dragged around, that’s when I start
not doing so well.” He says the coaches push him hard and after a silver at nationals last year, he wants gold in 2015. Dallin Houston, 16, recently moved here from Lethbridge. He started judo at 11 and his grandfather was also a sensei. “I went in six tournaments my second year and usually got gold or bronze,” said Houston, a green belt who loves ground battles. “Dean specifically works with me on getting things perfect. There was one tournament where I messed up big time and didn’t turn my head so we worked on that.” Houston says the dojo is a good place to blow off steam. He aims to be a black belt. Kauner Jones, 16, has been in judo for six years. He’s a blue belt who is working on protecting his neck more when on the mat. “I thought judo sounded interesting,” said Jones. “Instead of punching and hitting, you take someone down without hurting them.” Hanson, who was born in Williams Lake, began judo at age 10 in Vernon. LISA MAZUREK/MORNING STAR “I had no clue about what it was, but got involved and Dallin Houston throws Brendan Yakura in practice at the Vernon Judo club, hosts of the B.C.

Forty years later a set of skills that they are able to master Vernon club was formed in 1944 by Y. Mori, their own body movement and also another in a time when martial arts were banned in and I’m still doing judo.” Hanson has been a coach for Team competitor.

Geistlinger splits Pacific International Cup openers Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Kevin Geistlinger looked to get back into the win column Thursday afternoon at the 16th annual Pacific International Cup club curling championship in Richmond. Geistlinger is one of eight B.C. rinks competing at the Richmond Curling Club for not only the provincial title, and a chance to go to the 2015 Travelers Canadian Curling Club Championship in Ottawa in November, but a berth in the event’s final against the 10-team International Pool champion.
OVER 75 DISPLAYS!
Geistlinger, the Vernon Curling Club’s men’s champion, is joined by third Jonathan Gardner, second Ian Veitch and Wayne Ovens at lead. The Vernon champs, who were 1-1 and facing Jeff Guignard of Vancouver Thursday afternoon, opened with a 6-3 win Wednesday over Blair Hedden of Quesnel, but then dropped an 8-3 decision to Kevin Britz of Chilliwack Thursday morning. Geistlinger will play three round-robin games today against rinks from Creston, Richmond and Port Hardy, then
wrap up the preliminary round Saturday against Duncan. Semifinals are slated for Saturday. The B.C. men’s final is Sunday at 10:30 a.m. while the event final, featuring the B.C. champ against the International Pool winner, goes Sunday. International rinks taking part are from the Yukon, Australia, California, Illinois, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Wisconsin, New Zealand and Washington. There are eight teams on the women’s side in both the B.C. and International pools, including a rink competing for the first time ever from Brazil.

Doyle directs Fulton Morning Star Staff
Caden Doyle rang up three tries as the Fulton Maroons grounded the Salmon Arm Golds 31-12 in North Zone Junior Boys Rugby League action Wednesday at Grahame Park. Greg Geistlinger and Isiah Foureyes added one try apiece, while Kyle Karens was 3-for-5 on conversions. “As a coaching staff, we were really happy with the effort our kids gave,” said Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. “We have improved a lot since our exhibition games a week ago. I thought our backs played unselfish and moved the ball well and we did a good job of attacking open space and running to daylight. “Doyle is a very dangerous runner and he had some nice scores. Fullback Kyle Karens continues to impress, and he is calm under pressure. Standoff Ike Olson and centre Koalden Oakden were also
very good for our backs.” The Maroons went 1-2 at the weekend Kamloops Rugbyfest, losing 35-0 to Kent, Wash., falliung 22-5 to South Kam Titans and stopping Salmon Arm 10-0. Scheller said forwards coaches Brad Marsh and Gord Cheyne have done a great job instructing the forward pack. “Our scrums were solid and our lineouts were very strong,” said Scheller. “The forwards are working well as a unit. Foureyes was all over the field making tackles and hustling to rucks. Tyson Sampert had a very physical game for us as well, and hooker Ryan Rumsey is also playing well. Scrum half Satchel McDermid is doing very well at directing our attack.” The Fulton schedule is in flux with teams dropping out and the Okanagan Sevens Tournament cancelled.
Goalies go big for Legends Morning Star Staff
Player of the game goalies Jeremy Gill and Parker Stadnyk were unbeatable. So, too, was the North Okanagan Fairfield Marriott Legends Pee Wee B lacrosse team. Gill and Stadnyk stopped every shot flung their way in an 8-0 win over the hometown Merritt Thunder Saturday at the Shulu Arena. Ethan Harshenin led a dominant Legends performance with three goals and one assist. Jacob Defeo added 2+1, Wyatt Anderson chipped in 1+1 while singles came from Joey Mazzei and Tayber McLean. Standout efforts were put in by Defeo, Harshenin, Kaleb Pachal, Anderson and Jakob Aeichele. In Kamloops, the North Okanagan Everton Ridge Legends lost 9-5 to the hometown Rattlers in their Bantam A2 league opener. Kamloops put a close game out of reach by scoring six times in the final period.
Friday, April 17, 2015 - The Morning Star A23
Assistant captain Kaden Doughty scored three times, including one unassisted, for the Legends with Wyatt Fowler and Zach Gares drawing assists on the other goals. Captain Caden Colmorgen (unassisted) and Liam Cyr, from Owen McKill and Griffin Evans after Brandon Matvenko won possession on a faceoff following a timeout call by head coach Casey Sheriff, had the other North Okanagan goals. Assistant captain Kael Black was aggressive on the ball, and created a lot of possession and opportunity for the Legends. Meanwhile, the Armstrong Shamrocks open the Okanagan Senior C Lacrosse League regular season tonight in Kamloops against the Rattlers. The Shamrocks, coached by all-star goalie Chad Pieper, will host the provincial tournament, Aug. 7-9, at Hassen Memorial Arena and Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Rocks’ home opener is Saturday, May 2 versus the Ratrtlers.

JUDO – Vernon Judo Club B.C. Open Tournament, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Vernon Curling Club.
Turn-Key Controls shut down Peters Tirecraft 2-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League season-opening play Wednesday night at Mac Park. Turn-Key opened the scoring early on a free kick from Taylor Horsting that took a strange bounce on Tony the keeper. Turn-Key held the majority of chances in the first half and newcomer Kanwar Pandher tapped home an Evan Moore corner before the half. Both teams pressed hard in the second half, with Preston Tucker twice hitting the post off Moore corners. Nathan Gatenby narrowly missed when his screamer from 20 yards out also found the crossbar. Gregg Douma earned the Total Restoration Clean Sheet in the Turn-Key net. Midfielder Christian Demillville was the Longhorn Man of the Match for Tirecraft, who got bold showings on the back line from Clark Richardson, Justin Mitchell and Kyle Richardson. Defending playoff champion North Enderby Timber ambushed Monashee Surveying 10-0 in the other season opener. Simplyfrugal.ca man of the match Kyle Halvorson opened the scoring with a nifty nutmeg on the defender and then calmly slotting the ball home. Halvorson netted his second tally five minutes later and then added his first assist setting up Mike Bennett for his first of three. Brent Poulsen opened the scoring in the second half after a Bennett cross hit a defender at the top of the 18. Poulsen volleyed the ball into the top corner giving Monashee keeper Dustin Boreen no chance. Poulsen then added two more to complete the hatrick along with Halvorson and Bennett.

Benn sparks VQA
Women’s soccer season opener Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Square Liquor Store VQA iced the Controllers 2-0 to open the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association Masters season Tuesday night at MacDonald Park. “Because it’s all about the Benn, bout the Benn, bout the Benn,” sang VQA captain Shelly Johnston, of veteran keeper Karen Benn. Benn recorded several dazzling saves and delivered killer kicks all night after a standout weekend of rec hockey tourney action. Johnston sent a hard ball up from the back line to the far left corner line for Harmony Crockett, who then fed midfielder Jenny Hatten, who in turn passed to Carly Bibby for an awesome tally. Crockett supplied the insurance goal on a penalty kick, awarded after a handball. Newcomers Sue Mckinnon, Gail Atha, Vicki Ryan and Jenn Hatten were stellar and welcomed by all. Returnees Rita Tedesco and Lena Dean also enjoyed super showings. The Controllers displayed a strong offence and several scoring opportunities without any luck. Melissa Hensen, Michelle Mercer and Jacquie Nuyens all enjoyed chances. Michele Wernicke and Shelley Henry stepped up to share goalie duties. Val Percy and Brandie Hunter were bold on the back line, while Shawn Yargeau and Kelly Megyesi sparkled up the middle. Jacquie Hansen and Barb Levesque each scored twice as Squires Four Pub stopped Seasons Sistas 4-1 at windy Marshall #3. Lanis Kelley nailed a shot, low corner, from a pass from roadrunner Dianne Neudorf, to put the Sistas up 1-0 at the break. Newbie Debra Rosher jumpstarted the play off a free kick. Hansen equalized with Levesque assisting in her debut with Squires. Mary Anne DeFoor then fed Hansen, who dished a nice short pass to Levesque for the winner. Hansen kept Squires – coached by Mayor Akbal Mund – rolling with a great solo effort for the 3-0 snipe. Deanna Baker placed a sweet corner
in the box and Levesque headed the ball in for further insurance. DeFoor and Carolyn Gustafson also wore a Squires jersey for the first time and excelled. The Sistas’ defenve, anchored by Dani Moffat, stymied several Squires’ attacks. Trista Bassett and Mel Skinner shook off first-game jitters and calmly made passes and cleared balls. Neudorf just failed to finish with some creativity on a few breakaways. Sistas’ keeper Wendy Nadeau made numerous amazing saves, including one late beauty which appeared to be a sure goal. Newly acquired Alanna Young scored in the fifth minute off of a designed corner as the North Enderby Celtics shut out Little Tex Outlaws 1-0 in Division 1 play at Marshall #5. Celtics’ star rookie Casey Benz delivered a perfect short post corner to find towering Samantha Adam, who flicked the ball onto Young, who calmly brought the ball down inside the box to sidestep a defender and hammer the ball top shelf. The veteran back line of Carly smith, Ashley Krause Heidi Holtmann and Deb Henderson showed no mercy by shutting down most of the Outlaw attack. Meghan Smith recorded the shutout. Gray Monk Longhorn Impact brushed back Rosters 2-0 at MacDonald Park. Roadrunner Edeen Yamada delivered the winner on a hard-fought play. Solid midfield distribution by newcomer Yvonne Rogers enabled midfielder Kim Weibe to deliver her signature cross time and time again. Alicia McCreary solidified things with a tap in goal. Peacock Sheridan Group Reds, formerly of the Kelowna first division, dispatched Do It Drywall 9-0 in Division 1 play at Marshall Field #4. Lindsey Briggs bagged five goals for the Reds, while Lana Finley rang up a deuce and singles went to Cheyenne Dedla and Jenna Cole. Cole registered the goal of the game, smashing a header from a Melissa Ibbotson corner. Jenn Knourek posted the shutout.

Schmirler rink gets silver in B.C. mixed Morning Star Staff
At 80, Vernon’s Guy Schmirler was finally ready to hang up his curling broom after decades of playdowns and bonspiels. His wife, Linda, encouraged the veteran skip to play a year of mixed curling with good friends Bill and Mary Carr. What a year the quartet had. The Schmirlers and the Carrs capped a fantastic year by winning the Interior masters (60+) mixed curling championship in Richmond, and finished second overall in the province. The event featured the four zone winners from the Interior Curling Association and the four winners from the Pacific Coast Association. “We won four, tied two and lost one,” said Schmirler, a six-time provincial master men’s champ. “That was good to win the Interior and we finished second overall. It was great competition and we were treated so
well down there.” Schmirler’s foursome won 20 of 21 scheduled games in the Vernon Curling Club’s Friday afternoon senior mixed league, then captured the Vernon Club mixed championship by defeating the qualifying teams from the other regular mixed leagues. To qualify for the provincial finals, the Schmirler rink won the Zone 4 playdowns at their home club. “Experience, love of the game, great team chemistry,” said Schmirler, when asked about the key to the team’s success. In addition to mixed curling, Schmirler and his partner Gord Rowland won Wednesday’s stick curling league at the Vernon club with a record of 36-4. Three of four members of Schmirler’s mixed team used the sticks at the provincial playdowns in Richmond, making them one of the only teams at the championships using sticks.

Gymnasts step things up Morning Star Staff
Two Vernon athletes from North Valley Gymnastics achieved personal bests in the Provincial Artistic Gymnastics Championships in North Vancouver last weekend. A total of 660 gymnasts, representing 48 clubs, participated in an event that was the final trials for the Canadian Gymnastics Championship in May, and a step on the road to the Pam Am Games and worlds later this year. Brooklyn Ashby placed 20th all around in a field of 32 in the Junior
2015
Olympic (JO) 6 category. Aysia Morgan was 14th all around (out of 22 athletes) in the JO 5 category, highlighted with a fifth on floor exercise and first place for Zone 2 (Thompson/Okanagan) team. Both girls achieved their personal best in their all around scores, and received their first score above 9.0 (both on floor). “It’s always hard for an athlete to go into such a huge competition and not know what to expect, but both of the girls did great,” said North Valley coach Naomi Rokus.

ally their mother has only left them temporarily, and will return. Intervening in these situations by ‘rescuing’ the fawn or calf is rarely necessary and will usually do more harm than good. “It is normal for mother deer, elk and other ungulates to leave their young alone for long periods, returning a few times a day to nurse, and relying on the newborn’s lack of scent to protect them from predators,” states a Ministry of Environment release. “Returning mothers that find humans or pets nearby may leave or can become aggressive to defend their offspring from the perceived threat. The mother will return if the young is left alone.” Although these newborns may appear abandoned, it is rarely the case, and if they are removed they will be orphaned. While professional wildlife rehabilitation facilities in some areas of B.C. can successfully rear these newborns, there is no maternal care and their chances of survival are far less than if they had been raised by their true mother. “This is true not just for deer; many mammals leave their young alone for long periods of time, only to return to feed them at regular intervals,” states the release. “So, if you encounter a young deer or calf in the wild at this time of the year, appreciate the experience, but don’t approach or intervene.” To find a wildlife rehabilitator near you, visit the Wildlife Rehabilitators Network of British Columbia at www.wrnbc.org/contact/find-a-local-rehabilitator/.

Burn permits near expiration Morning Star Staff
Eligible property owners with permits have until April 30 to wrap up any open burning in Lake Country and the North Westside area. People with properties greater than one hectare in the Regional District of Central Okanagan will be allowed to burn outdoors, but only after receiving a valid permit from their fire authority and only after confirming that burning is allowed on a particular day. Farmers and large lot owners must also follow any regulations before lighting wood debris piles. “Prior to igniting any fire, eligible property owners with a valid permit must call the toll-free outdoor burning hotline at 1-855-262-2876,” said Bruce Smith, communications officer. “It will tell them if open burning is allowed on a particular day. Both the venting and air quality must be good in order for burning to occur within Central Okanagan fire jurisdictions. This information is also available each morning after 8 a.m. at regionaldistrict.com/airquality.” On days when open burning is allowed, it’s recommended that debris piles be ignited after 10 a.m., when proper venting conditions are more likely to exist. Under RDCO’s smoke control bylaw, creating nuisance smoke from open burning is not allowed in Lake Country or the North Westside area. Violators could receive a fine or be charged with the cost of putting out the fire. For a burning permit, North Westside residents can call 250-545-1195 to obtain a permit, while Lake Country residents can contact 250-766-2327.

That was the challenge facing three Okanagan College students, whose submission to The Economist’s student case competition is to be found online among 17 other submissions from business schools from around the globe. The only other Canadian team entered is from Carleton University. The American competitors include teams from Kent State, Loyola, Rutgers, the University of Colorado, Texas Tech University, and San Jose State University.

Officially the competition is called “Find a Zero: Which Billion Dollar Company Will be Bankrupt by 2020” and is sponsored by Kerrisdale Capital Investment. (Kerrisdale Capital is an investment management firm based in New York that is known to publically engage in the practice of “short selling” securities. Short selling involves researching and anticipating declines in the value of shares in order to capitalize on the drop in price.) The purpose of the competition is for students to research and identify business strategies used by actual companies that may be over-valued in the markets. First prize in the competition is $15,000 U.S. The entire prize package totals $26,000 US, including a $3,000 people’s choice award. Coached by Okanagan College professor Dr. Yunke He, Karen Vandergaag and her teammates, David Langille and Curtis Loyd spent countless hours in the two-week window they had for the competition looking at various sectors, before settling on the telecommunications industry. From there, it was a review of major players until they settled on a prospect. “The task was daunting,” said Vandergaag. “First we needed to zero in on a sector or an industry and then search out one of the larger players and test its strength and stability, looking for issues with the company’s business strategy and its valuation, watching for disruptive forces and trends within the company’s sector.” The trio of fourth-year Bachelor of Business Administration students put together a compelling case about why they think the company may find itself in deep financial trouble by 2020. Their argument focuses on the practice of growing through acquisitions, and its effect on a company that is already highly leveraged, participating in an industry that requires ongoing transitions to new technology to remain competitive. “We’ll learn in May what the judges of the competition think of our choice and case submission,” said Loyd. “Hopefully our case will be compelling and will resonate with the judges.” To view and vote for the Okanagan College team’s entry, visit http://ow.ly/LlImp

Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann give four-hand performance on soon-to-be replaced Steinway Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
You’’d think 88 keys, three pedals and four hands would make for strange bedfellows. But for married musicians Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann, the piano is part and parcel of their successful partnership. If they weren’t one of Canada’s most successful piano duos, the Bergmanns would likely do well as relationship gurus, advising couples on how to merge a working relationship with love. They have managed to succeed at both for the past two decades. About to perform the second-to-last concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s 2014-15 season April 24, the Bergmanns are an established piano duo, where eye contact and communication is imperative. However, they are just as apt with four hands on a single piano, as they will demonstrate when they perform in Vernon. “As Marcel says, when he talks to people, ‘what other instrument would you think of sharing?’ It does work for piano,” said Elizabeth (née Laich), talking to The Morning Star from the couple’s home in Vancouver. “It is a different experience. Obviously, you have less space and the pedalling is different.” Marcel usually plays “secondo” (second), the lower keys on the left side of the piano and is responsible for the pedals, while Elizabeth plays the primo (first), the higher keys on the right. For Elizabeth, playing the piano without pedaling is comparable to that of driving a manual car without using the clutch. “The feeling it give you makes you trust that your partner will take the pedals for you,” she said.

Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann perform the second-to-last concert of the North Okanagan Community Concert 201415 season, Friday, April 24 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “Sometimes elbows get in way or it’s like ‘stop that, you’re on my note.’ We work out choreography of where you put your hand and get it out of the way so the other pianist can get there. It’s entertaining for an audience. We try to get the piano in a place so people can see. That’s why people love to watch pianists’ hands.” The Bergmanns working relationship goes beyond just performing. Residing in Vancouver for the past five years, the Bergmanns, who previously taught at the University of Calgary and Mount Royal, continue to share their love of music with students. They are artistic directors of the Langley Community Music School and are largely involved with the music intensive program, a precollege program which enables students to prepare for the future. They also run a concert series through the school and have just announced they will be taking over White Rock Concerts (celebrating 60 years this year) from longtime
AD, founder and bassoonist George Zukerman in the 2016-17 season. “We were at Pacific Contacts (a trade show for presenters and artists) this past weekend, securing the season early,” said Elizabeth. “We also wore our artists’ hats, and already knew a lot of the presenters because of touring. It’s nice to reconnect with everyone.” Married for 20 years, the Bergmanns met in the late ‘80s while students at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover, Germany, where they studied with the same teacher, Arie Vardi. “We became good friends right away and started playing together after becoming a couple a year after meeting,” said Elizabeth, who is originally from Medicine Hat, Alta., while Marcel is from Munich. “It felt close the whole time. Friendship was the first thing, then it evolved.” That natural evolution is also how they became a piano duo. “We would accompany each other with concerti where another
#
pianist would take over the orchestral part for our own class studies,” said Elizabeth. A trip to Greece for a music festival solidified their partnership. “Marcel came along and we had an opportunity to play with an orchestra. Our teacher suggested that ‘instead of a solo concerto, why don’t you play a double concerto?’ It was the Bach Concerto in C Major. We had so much fun and thought, ‘this is quite enjoyable.’ That’s when got into two pianos and the rest, as they say, is history.” As performers, the Bergmanns also know their pianos, having played in just about every concert hall across Canada and beyond. The duo will likely be the last four-hand piano performance on the NOCCA’s soon-to-be replaced Hamburg Steinway nine-foot grand, which was manufactured in 1887, reconditioned in the 1950s and subsequently purchased by NOCCA from the Steinway factory in Hamburg, Germany in 1955. “We love playing on instru-

ments from that period, especially with Steinway or any instrument. They have their own character and personality,” said Elizabeth. Although it can be frustrating for a pianist to adjust to whatever instrument he or she is presented with, the Bergmanns say it’s also exciting to get to know the personality and sound spectrum of an instrument “It’s all very subtle and intuitive and depends on the hall as well. An instrument can sound different from one place to the next. You take the acoustics and reverb, or if there’s lots of rug on the walls, or if there are curtains. You kind of adjust. Sometimes you have to adjust very quickly when the audience comes in. Sound can be different from rehearsing to when the audience is sitting there - bodies absorb sound.” Besides the many Bach concerti written for two pianos (make that harpsichords), the Bergmanns say composers are continually working on new repertoire for piano duos. In fact, Marcel is one of them, as a respected composer and arranger. For their Vernon concert, the Bergmanns will not perform in any of Marcel’s works, but have chosen a program showcasing some traditional and popular repertoire and one that is more obscure. “We try to find a balance, the meat and potatoes of dual piano literature, and some lightness,” said Elizabeth. “Variations on a Theme by Schumann is actually by Brahms. It’s a wonderful piece. It’s serious and doesn’t get performed that often.” The duo will also perform Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Rachmaninoff ’s Six Morceaux, Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite, and The Ironien Op. 34 by E. Schulhoff. “The Schulhoff is quite Dadaesque, but not as wild and crazy as people would think. It has a jazz influence. We like to make a bridge between the pieces as well. It helps the audience on the musical journey.” The concert at the Performing Arts Centre starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35/adult and $17.50/student at the Ticket Seller box office.

Grim & Fischer uses masks and not words to tell the story of a grandmother who meets the Grim Reaper Morning Star Staff
Leave a gift that will support your community today, tomorrow, forever. 250.542.8655 • www.CFNO.org
Masks can come in all shapes and sizes when it comes to the theatre. Take the antics of the masked avengers who boarded Axis Theatre’s seminal hit The Number 14, which drove its way to the Vernon stage for at least six performances before retiring on its farewell tour three years ago. The Vernon Performing Arts Centre society is about to bring another masked theatre production to the stage, this time by a multiaward winning physical theatre company from the Coast called WONDERHEADS. Described by audiences as “live action
Pixar,” Grim & Fischer is WONDERHEADS’ current full-face mask comedy, which will be played out at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, April 23. The show follows Mrs. Fischer, an aging grandmother who is paid a visit by none other than the Grim Reaper himself. Without any words or facial expressions, Fischer’s struggle for survival takes fantastical flight as she attempts to literally cheat death. “While initially whimsical and light hearted, Grim & Fischer uses this whimsy to step away from the sharpness of reality and offer a different lens though which to examine a deeper, darker universal struggle: our fear of death,” reads a release from the Performing Arts Centre. As Mrs. Fischer stares death in the face, many questions are answered including: what is it to know your end is nigh? Can you ignore death? Can you escape death? And perhaps most importantly, can you hit death in the face with a frying pan? According to WONDERHEAD’S website, mask maker and co-artistic director
James Douglas
WONDERHEADS presents Grim & Fischer as the last theatre presentation of the season at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, Thursday, April 23. Kate Braidwood spends between 50-to-80 hours creating just one of the show’s full-face masks. It was at California’s Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre where her passion for mask making was truly ignited and developed, during which time she trained in the Italian form of commedia dell’arte, studied mask design with Bruce Marrs, and
worked with Berlinbased mask company Familie Flöz. In 2009, she teamed up with fellow Dell’Arte graduate Andrew Phoenix to create the WONDERHEADS and together they have been busy touring their work since that time. With their distinct style of storytelling, rich soundscape, timeless slapstick and masterful physical performances,

The longest Ride:
uke (Scott Eastwood) is a handsome young cowboy, set on becoming a champion bull rider. Sophia (Britt Robertson) is a pretty art student about to graduate college and move to a prestigious internship at a gallery in New York. Taylor and Howe Coming from two very different worlds, the unlikely couple might not have hit it off if it wasn’t for their happening across a car accident involving Ira (Alan Alda), an elderly widower with a box full of love letters in his car. Through getting to know Ira, his letters and the story of his love live, Luke and Sophia are brought closer together. Now the only thing standing in the way of happily ever after is a nasty bull and eight seconds of peril. We say, “The Notebook becomes the Box Full of Letters.” TAYLOR: In The Notebook, which is great by the way, an elderly man reads the story of his life to his wife who has dementia, so that she might remember their time together. In The Longest Ride, an elderly man has the story of his life read back to him so that a young couple might realize the power of love overcomes all obstacles. Although it is a very similar film, it is a return to a concept that works. Happily, like other recent films written by sap factory Nicholas Sparks, this film doesn’t have a creepy element, like the hero stalks the damsel (The Lucky One) or the damsel has a disturbing past (Safe Haven). The Longest Ride is just a squeaky clean love story. It’s not ground-

Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson take a time out from saddle sores in The Longest Ride. breaking and its loose ends are tied up rather conveniently, but I feel no need to mock it, nor did it anger me by being stupid. HOWE: Creepy is a little understated when referring to The Lucky One; I would say more like disturbing. As for Safe Haven, well that was just a silly movie. I never watched The Notebook, so I can’t compare it with The Longest Ride, but I found it to be a so-so movie. I enjoyed the idea of flashbacks via the reading of the letters and I found the performances of the young Ira and Ruth (Jack Huston and Oona Chaplin) were played really well. It was the other performances by Eastwood and Robertson that I didn’t find that encouraging. It made me chuckle that Eastwood’s first major role in a film is a cowboy. Coincidence? All that was missing was the poncho and cigar. TAYLOR: Well, he is the spitting image of his father. Sometimes he sounds exactly like Clint, but he’s defi-
nitely more approachable, sometimes silly in his attempts to be cute or charming (somebody reboot Dirty Harry). Eastwood looks like he grew up squinting in the sunlight (which he did), but although the actors are close in age, it kind of felt like a 33-year-old man was picking up an 18-year-old girl. My other problem was that the character of Luke grew up in North Carolina and while all the people around him had thick accents, he did not (nor did his mother, for that matter). I took my sister and her daughter to the show and they liked it, although they both agreed it was a little long. I thought the film needed that length to tie up all the loose ends for a complete, Hollywood happy ending. – Taylor gives The Longest Ride 2.5 truck nuts out of 5. – Howe gives it 2.5 roses out of 5.
yeah.

Strange Trails
he L.A. based, Michiganinspired indie folk fourpiece band Lord Huron have transferred the campfire smoke from Gitche Gumee out to California on Strange Trails, their Dean Gordon-Smith fifth album. The group is part of a new breed of traditionalists like Brandi Carlile, who are taking rural American music and expanding it sonically to connect to listeners looking for new sounds. There’s a quality of familiarity in the structures that appeals to

ears used to pop, rock and country with an added mix of classic harmonies and ringing guitars. Strange Trails has a warmth all its own though, and Lord Huron’s sound is based in straight ahead harmony vocals and reverb-laden melodic songs that summon earthy images. Lord Huron has inherited
an indie rock sensibility that proved to be an ideal breeding ground for folk rock and Americana sounds. Songs like The World Ender, La Belle Fleur Sauvage and Meet Me in the Woods are songs of the trail: they carry the keening melody that pushes musical explorers onward. Dead Man’s Hand is a rustic study of relaxed vocalization and Hurricane is a waltz in a time warp, a compressed burst of harmonized energy. Just so the mood doesn’t become too bright, the group unearths a dark vein of melancholy on The Yawning Grave – soundtrack music for gold rush era saloons. In spite of song titles like Cursed, a hazy sense of well being rules this recording and it’s easy to catch on to the pull of the evocative sounds.

The video is directed by long-time friend and collaborator Dane Collison. A graduate of W.L. Seaton Secondary School, SonReal’s success started in Vancouver and took shape online when several of his music videos and mixtapes collected hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube back in 2011 and 2012. For his debut album, The Closers, he collaborated with rap artist and producer Rich Kidd, which earned them both a 2013 Juno and MMVA nomination. In 2014, SonReal took home an award for MuchFact video of the year for his viral hit Everywhere We Go, and currently it has more than 1.7 million views. SonReal hits the road for 10 Canadian dates next month, kicking off in Hamilton and wrapping up in Victoria (no dates are scheduled for the B.C. Interior so far). SonReal will also hit the stage later this summer at the Squamish Festival.

as an administrative assistant in the mining industry with the B.C. government, Esther Burchett moved to the North Okanagan to enjoy the area’s milder winters. She moved to Vernon in the fall of 2001 — by November, she was a volunteer at the Schubert Centre. “I was introduced to Schubert Centre by a friend who moved here the same time I did. I was looking for a way of meeting people, and I started working in the membership office,” said Burkett, who does a shift every other week. “When new members join I always tell them about the volunteer opportunities here.” Annual membership in the centre is $40 per year and is pro-rated depending on when you sign up. And it’s the many volunteers who ensure that rates are kept affordable. “Volunteers are the gift that keep on giving,” said Schubert Centre manager Jack Gareb. “By giving to others and the Schubert Centre, they make our community a great place to live, work and play.”

Wilma Boulter jokes that she works harder now than when she was earning a regular pay cheque. But the longtime volunteer with the Schubert Centre wouldn’t have it any other way. “If I were sitting at home, I’d be a couch potato, this is giving you something to get out and keep your brain active,” she said. After a career with the Bank of Nova Scotia, Boulter retired and ended up at the Schubert Centre at the urging of her friend, Dolly. “I had a friend who had lost her husband the year before I lost my partner and she said, ‘let’s stop by and see if there is anything that might spark our interest,’” said Boulter. “We stopped in and they asked if we wanted to volunteer. I didn’t want to but they said ‘you would be good on the front desk.’” Their persistence paid off — Boulter is now coordinator of front desk volunteers. “If someone we don’t recognize arrives, we always make the effort to introduce ourselves and show them around and encourage them to volunteer,” she said. Sue Slater has been a volunteer at Schubert since moving to Vernon from Calgary five years ago and said the centre relies on its volunteer

The centre is open seven days a week, and the social and recreational activities are endless, ranging from dancing, tai chi and shuffleboard, to happy hour with live music, bingo, pancake breakfasts and regular bus tours for shopping, sightseeing and other diversions. “We would not be here without the volunteers,” said Slater, before listing the many opportunities available for volunteers: front desk, thrift store, crafts, the coffee shop, membership office and catering. “We always need volunteers for our Meals on Wheels programs, especially drivers, and our catering department is most in need at the moment as the majority of the shifts are in the evening. “But we have something for everyone and we can fit everyone in.” To learn more about the volunteer opportunities, or to check out the many activities, drop by the Schubert Centre at 3505-30th Ave., call 250549-4201 or see the web site at www.schubertcentre.ca

The middle GS and top GT trim come with the more powerful 184hp 2.5L 4-cylinder. The GS can be equipped with FWD or AWD and all GT models come standard with AWD. What sets this apart from the competition is the handling and dynamic feel Mazda bakes into its products. The CX-5 can be thrown into corners with true confidence but the suspension is never jarring. The GS and GT also come standard with a sport setting for the transmission that is too aggressive for daily use. The base setting works the best and when more power is needed, I tended to flick the transmission to manual mode for a more precise experience.

HAPPINESS IS UNLOCKING YOUR HONDA ’’
Surrey resident Linda Webster is now the proud owner of a Nissan LEAF, as the winner of our Plug-In to Win contest. “I’m so excited because I’ve taken an interest in electric cars for some time but never dreamed I would own one,” said Linda, as she clutched the keys outside of Jonker Nissan, in Langley. “I’m going to really enjoy seeing how much I can get out of each charge… I’ll let you know!” With a range of in excess of 120 kilometres on a full charge, Linda figures she will be able to visit friends and family in Vancouver. British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly supplied us with the eco-friendly sedan for the contest, which attracted a record-breaking 34,558 entries, the biggest Black Press contest ever. The five-seater car was displayed at the SCRAP-IT booth at the recent Vancouver International Auto Show, where it attracted thousands of admiring looks. SCRAP-IT announced its new S C RAP-IT incentive program in Driveway just before the show. It’s offering a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a year 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program. SCRAP-IT Program CEO Dennis Rogoza revealed: “Vehicles model 2000 or older emit up to 60 times more emissions than later models and electric vehicles have even much lower emissions.” Qualifying electric vehicles are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
Verdict It might not be the least expensive vehicle in this hot compact crossover segment but due to a conventional 6-speed automatic and class above amenities, it’s certainly in the running as a segment leader.

New breed of joy in new Dodge Journey By Alexandra Straub
Los Angeles/Palm Springs, CA – For 2015, Dodge introduces a new breed of Journey. One that has more visual appeal, lots of power and a few features to keep your drive exciting, even when it isn’t. Enter the Crossroad AWD edition. It’s clad in a Redline exterior pearl paint, and sparkles under the Californian sun or any sun for that matter. Thanks to distinctive front and rear fascias with Platinum Chrome accents, Platinum Chrome side sills, Platinum Chrome roof rails, dark-tinted headlamps and tail lamps, and unique 19-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels, it tends to garner looks from all passersby. This particular Journey is a much better looking vehicle than I had anticipated and I’m impressed I’m impressed with how it with how it has has evolved since its introduction in 2009. But it’s not evolved since its introduction in just looks alone that make this crossover one of the best 2009. selling products in the Dodge Alexandra Straub lineup, and one that has earned numerous accolades. Inside, a visually stimulating cabin also welcomes the driver and passengers. First off, leather seats with sport mesh inserts come standard. Then you have Liquid Graphite appliques, a 213.4mm (8.4-inch) Uconnect touchscreen and a power driver’s seat and passenger fold flat seat with in-seat storage. The in-seat storage is a feature I found exceptionally handy, particularly when I wanted to tuck away some miscellaneous items I purchased along the road. Or I wanted to keep my snacks out of the sun when driving hours on end in California! Along the undulating SoCal roads, it was quite handy to have the 3.6L, Pentastar V6 engine under its hood for that extra bit of power I used climbing hills. It comes with a healthy helping of 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that shifts with ease and smoothness. Additionally, the Crossroad version has a temperate nature and one that is pleasant to drive for long hauls. It absorbs road imperfections without jarring the passengers inside. The only snag comes when you want to accelerate quickly to pass someone. There’s a generous helping of torque steer so make sure you give yourself enough room in the lane to accommodate for it. Yes, it’s an all-wheel drive, so it’s not, by nature, prone to this type of action, but this particular vehicle was. Despite its size, it doesn’t feel like a chore to manouevre. Especially when navigating through the In-n-Out Burger drive-thru for a pre road trip delicacy. Though there were only three people in the cabin of the Journey at any given time, there is room for up to seven people. Furthermore, the third and second row fold down easily to load or unload larger ticket items, such as a road bike I had rented while in the Palm Springs area. When it comes to cargo space, behind the second row seats, you have a generous 1,000L, and behind the third row – when they are up – there’s 300L. Ingress and egress is also a strong feature of the Journey. Despite its SUV DNA, the seats aren’t so high off the ground that it requires passengers, both young and young at heart, to hoist themselves up and in. And I can’t forget to mention just how great it is to work with the Uconnect infotainment system. Entering in a destination into the navigation is probably the most intuitive and user-friendly in the industry. The 8.4-inch screen is large and therefore doesn’t require me to take my eyes off the road for longer than necessary. Music through the speakers – via the SiriusXM stations or my playlists – kept me grooving even in rush hour traffic. With the countless kilometres logged on this Dodge, it wasn’t too hard to find much joy in this new Journey. In fact, it was quite a treat. The base MSRP of the 2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad AWD is $35,395. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder MAKE DECLARER WORK FOR HIS WINNERS Fred Allen, a comedian who died in 1956, said, “A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well-known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.” In bridge, part of the job of defenders is to make declarer work hard for his contract. It is frustrating for the defenders if they effectively gift declarer the tricks that he needs. In this deal, for example, how should West make South work hard for his six-club contract after West leads the heart king? South opened with a textbook three clubs: a good seven-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. North was
surprised to learn that his side had a 13-card fit, and he might have immediately jumped to six clubs. If South also had the spade ace, he would have opened one club, not three clubs. But North cautiously used Blackwood before settling South into six clubs. Declarer has 11 top tricks: one heart, three diamonds and seven clubs. He must get a spade trick. But does West hold the spade ace or queen? South wins the first trick with dummy’s heart ace, and East drops the two, giving count in the suit and showing an odd number. Declarer cashes dummy’s three diamond winners, discarding his remaining heart, and ruffs the heart
jack in his hand. Then he leads a spade toward dummy’s king-jack. West must smoothly play second hand low. He knows his side needs two spade tricks to defeat the contract. He must not save declarer a guess by winning with the ace - or by thinking about it for a moment.
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.
