Future of rail trail in voters’ hands RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lake Country residents are expected to turn out in high numbers Saturday to determine the future of a proposed rail trail. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at George Elliot Secondary School, with residents being asked to borrow $2.6 million to purchase the rail corridor within the municipality. “We need to have a vision for the long term; and the future of our community will be greatly enhanced by the local control of the corridor within our jurisdiction,” said Mayor James Baker in a letter to the media. “Our control of the corridor is a wise investment fiscally, socially and environmentally — the three major factors that make Lake Country a great place to live.” The overall price tag for the discontinued Canadian National line from Kelowna to Coldstream is $22 million, with the remainder of the funds coming from the Regional District of North Okanagan and Kelowna. While the purchase has many supporters, other Lake Country residents are concerned. “Those people that are opposed are not bad residents,” said Guy Bissonette, with Taxpayers 4 Responsible Tax. “They don’t lack community spirit. They are just saying there is a better way to spend our money. We’re not saying no to tax increases, we’re saying let’s use our tax increase for our crumbling infrastructure.” Bissonette says Lake Country taxpayers will be on the hook for $5.1 million when repayment of Kelowna’s $2.5 million investment in the rail corridor in Lake Country is factored in.
MIKE HAZEN PHOTOGRAPHY
More than 300 people spell out the word yes during a pro-rail corridor rally Sunday in Lake Country. Lake Country residents go to referendum Saturday on borrowing $2.6 million to purchase the corridor. He also claims there will be much remediation work to the corridor once CN Rail removes the ties and rails. However, Baker insists the district can repay the loan without impacting other infrastructure. “As a part of our asset audit and manage-
ment planning, we have identified infrastructure valued at $160 million that is in various stages of depreciation,” he said. “We know from other models that there may be options, other than taxation, for funding development and maintenance of corridors like this including stimulus fund-
ing, government grant programs, fundraising and foundation contributions, and we will be exploring those.” A total of 2,853 people cast ballots in five advance polls. — with files from Black Press reporter Kevin Parnell
Band spreads awareness on Commonage claim Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Indian Band insists its message is clear about the Commonage claim and the rail trail. The band has taken out a two-page advertisement in the Lake Country Calendar to address any issues Lake Country residents Byron Louis may have before voting Saturday on borrowing $2.6 million to purchase the discontinued
Canadian National rail line. “Two OKIB staff attended the proponents of the yes vote and from their report to our council, this advertisement is warranted,” said Chief Byron Louis, “We’re saying these are key facts of our legal action that the public should be aware of.” Louis added that the contents of the advertisement are meant to provide an overview of the OKIB’s claim to the Commonage rail corridor. The band says the Commonage rail corridor is a portion of the land allotted

to the OKIB by the Joint Indian Reserve Commission in 1877, and between 1886 and 1893, the federal and provincial government did not follow the rules when relinquishing the band’s interest in the lands. The band also goes on to say that rights acquired by CNR were limited to the use of the corridor for railway purposes only. “When Kelowna Pacific Railway went bankrupt and CNR decided to abandon the entire rail corridor, the Commonage rail corridor should have reverted to reserve land,” it states.

“If the lands were to revert to reserve, as they should have, the Commonage rail corridor does not belong to CNR, therefore CNR cannot sell it.” Louis says the band has received unfiled responses to its notice of civil claim filed March 24 and have referred the documents to its legal team. “Of course the other parties have to deny our claim,” said Louis. “It’s difficult to deny the fact the Commonage reserve, where the Commonage rail corridor is, was created in 1877 by the Joint Indian Reserve Commission.”

Missing man turns up safe and sound Morning Star Staff
Resources were mobilized to find a missing Vernon man but he came home on his own. Exact details are still not known about what happened to a 25-yearold man who went out for a motorbike tour of the Commonage Tuesday, was reported missing Wednesday and showed up on his doorstep Thursday. “Our officers are currently speaking with the individual to find out the circumstances of his whereabouts for the last day,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokes-
person. The missing man returned home uninjured at about 10:15 a.m. Thursday. Vernon Search and Rescue volunteers scoured the Commonage after the RCMP received a call from the man’s family Wednesday morning. “The Vernon RCMP would like to thank the dedicated Vernon Search and Rescue members who searched the Commonage area until late last night and were out again this morning,” said Molendyk Thursday.

incomes and create quality job opportunities for the residents of North OkanaganShuswap.” Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate, believes the budget is typical of the Conservatives. “It’s creating a means for income inequality to increase,” she said. Gingras says the taxfree savings account and other measures don’t conform with reality. “The Conservatives’ idea of who the average Canadian is, is off base.

They are putting money in the pockets of the wealthiest Canadians,” she said. “They are not providing high-quality child care. Household debt is higher than ever in Canada.” Dave Smith, Green candidate, says he found aspects of the budget “disturbing.” “It calls for increased spending on expanding war to Syria, and increasing funding to security at home. Within a balanced budget, this can only steal from education, hospitals, and other social programs,” he said. “It does not mention climate change, and our much needed transition to renewables. Instead, the budget offers more tax credits to fracking and LNG.”

act as a starting point for the community conversation on how Barnes Park should be developed into the future,” said Kurt Inglis, Enderby’s planning assistant. “Feedback received through this community conversation would then inform revisions to the conceptual plan to make it more consistent with the objectives, values and priorities of the community.” Public input was received through the Internet and an open house. While there have been some suggestions about moving facilities from Barnes Park to Riverside Park, Case isn’t sure how practical that is, particularly when it comes to the swimming pool. “It would be nice to have a central place (for all recreational facilities) but we have to make sure we can afford it,” he said.

Auto racing back on track ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Auto racing is returning to Spallumcheen. The Motoplex Speedway and Event Park has announced four events for its facility in 2015, including the season opening and closing races for the 2015 WESCAR Sportsman Series. “The big thing is we have four events scheduled, and we have a couple of more tentative events planned,” said Joe Van Tienhoven, longtime track volunteer who, along with fellow Spallumcheen councillor Christine Fraser, are now employees of the speedway. Their roles with the track are separate from their township duties. Van Tienhoven will take over some of the day-to-day operations and organizing at the motoplex. Fraser will serve as the executive assistant, updating the website (www.motoplexspeedway.com) and talking to people. “The township is not involved in this in any way,” said Van Tienhoven. “If anything on the motoplex comes up at council, Christine and I will excuse ourselves from the discussion.” The WESCAR series opens with the Lordco Sportsman Series 125 May 9. Gates will open at 5 p.m., qualifying starts at 6 p.m. and the racing action begins at 7 p.m. The series, which also features stops in Agassiz, Quesnel, Prince George and Williams Lake, will hold its series finale at the motoplex on Saturday, Sept. 12. “We get their two biggest races of the season,” said Van Tienhoven. In between, the event park will also play host to a pair of its immensely popular Travel Trailer Days of Destruction May 24 and Aug. 9. Two such events, in front of large, appreciative crowds, were held in 2014. The last major auto race at the speedway

The speedway has hosted a handful of concerts over the years, featuring the likes of John Fogerty, Colin James, Loverboy, Marianas Trench and 54-40. “We are going to try and diversify and get as many different events out there as we can besides the races,” said Fraser. Excitement is starting to build in the township. Volunteers, said Van Tienhoven, are “itching
to come back,” and charity organizations will help with such things as parking to fundraise for their group. “We’re also starting to talk to businesses, and businesses have come on board to try and make it successful for the area,” said Fraser. “We’ve got lots of support from local businesses so far, and we’re getting lots of hits on our website.” Van Tienhoven said it’s nice to have the speedway back in business. “We are working hard to make it viable for us to do more events,” he said. “It’s called the speedway and event park so our job now is looking to attract other events there. It’s a phenomenal facility.”

Earth Day every day
ature is calling, actually sputtering through the smog and smoke. But few are listening, as the majority of us have our heads bowed to our phones, aka lifeline. It’s hoped that in celebration of Earth Day Wednesday, many of us would have gone offline and gone outdoors to enjoy and celebrate this very planet which gives us life. Maybe you went for a walk and took in the beauty of spring, with all the blossoms and greenery emerging, listening to the sounds of birds and smelling the fresh blooms (or in the case of us allergy-sufferers, broke out in a rash and wiped tears from our pollen-stung eyes). Or perhaps you’ve been getting down and dirty gardening. Despite Jennifer Smith this recent allergy I’ve developed, all this early spring gardening has been so fulfilling. In fact, they say gardening is good for the soul. In my experience, nothing compares. It’s like raising children, their beauty and stamina make you so proud, and these kids don’t talk back, only need to be cleaned up after a couple times year and are considerably gentler on your wallet. For me, the garden is a particularly enriching place to be due to the connection it provides with my mom. As a professional landscaper, mom didn’t just have a green thumb, she had 10. Gardening was her art, her love, her passion. So much so, that her wish was to have her ashes sprinkled in the gardens of all of her loved ones, including the garden she built at her home. So when I was cleaning up around the marker in her garden recently, it was only fitting that a little finch was fluttering about nearby. It might sound a little crazy or far-fetched if you don’t believe in the whole reincarnation thing, but I honestly believed that bird was my mom. Even my daughter ran
AT RANDOM
over, intrigued by the “pretty birdy” and it reinforced my thoughts as I saw her eyes light up, just like they used to when she would see her Nana. Obviously that’s my subconscious yearning to be with my mom connecting me to her in real life. Then again, who knows for sure? Either way, I’m sure that’s not the last sign of mom I’ll see. “Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day,” a grief verse that says it well. That’s the thing about Earth, there’s a lot of magical things it can create. Which is why our mothers always taught us to take care of it, so our children and future generations are able to enjoy it as much, if not more than us. “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children,” says a proverb thought to be an ancient Native American. Perhaps on Earth Day, you celebrated by doing something to preserve our world. It could be as simple as finally using that recycling bin (hint, hint, you know who you are) for its designated purpose. And just because Earth Day is over, doesn’t mean your efforts have to end. Hence the Earth Day Every Day campaign. Earth Day is about making a change that will have a lasting effect. Reducing your carbon footprint is the drive behind 2015 Earth Day, specifically cleaning your commute. The goal is to get each Canadian to reduce their carbon footprint by 20 per cent by 2020. Since transportation accounts for 24 per cent of our carbon emissions, that’s where people are being urged to cut back. Some extra incentive is our country’s poor efforts to tackle GHG emissions. Canada currently ranks 55th out of 58 countries, ahead only of Iran, Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia. Maybe our faces are buried too deeply in our phones and tablets to see it, but change is needed to ensure our Earth can continue to be the magical place it is today, tomorrow. So if we can put our devices down for a bit each day and see just what our world has to offer, perhaps the more inspired we might be to change.
There’s no question that the issue of the rail corridor has motivated Lake Country residents. After all, 2,853 electors cast ballots during five advance polls. That is a staggering 30 per cent of all eligible voters. “In the advance polls alone, we have beat the 2014 general election turnout and hope to see even more people at the polls on Saturday,” said Reyna Seabrook, chief election officer. Given the trend, referendum day could be extremely busy and push turnout towards the Lake Country record of 43 per cent during the 1999 civic election. While exercising your democratic right is always a positive, what is concerning is how the process to possibly borrow $2.6 million to purchase the rail corridor has divided the community. Neighbours have taken sides and there have been sharp accusations between proponents of the acquisition and those who are opposed. But the reality is that no matter what side they belong to, all residents involved in the debate have one thing in common. They are all interested in the future of their community. Those wanting the rail corridor purchased have embraced a specific vision that they believe will bolster the social and economic interests of Lake Country, while those on the opposite side insist that with limited financial resources available, there are other significant priorities in the community, such as maintaining existing roads. Neither of these approaches are wrong and should be respected for what they are. Voters will head to the polls Saturday but they must remember that come Sunday morning when the outcome is known either way, that they are all still members of a terrific community and should be proud of that fact. One issue does not define a community.

Looking towards the future
I
was pleased to attend the rail trail information meeting at Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. Good information was provided and legitimate concerns were raised and addressed. However, I have trouble understanding those who think we should not spend tax money for parks and recreation facilities, such as the trail, because our roads need work or because we already have municipal debt. What a pathetic town we would be living in, if in earlier times, voters had voted no in previous referendums, or if past councils had chosen to fix the roads rather than build the arena and curling rink, the seniors' centre, the community complex, Creekside Theatre, Beasley Park, and Swalwell Park, etc. Roads needed fixing back then and will always need fixing. Paying taxes for ongoing infrastructure maintenance is the price of living in a decent community. Paying additional taxes for amenities that improve our standard of living, such as those mentioned above and the proposed lakeside rail trail, is a privilege that I look forward to, in order to continue the Lake Country tradition of building a community that is a great place to live. Fixing existing infrastructure or acquir-
RAIL TRAIL VOTE I am not a resident of Lake Country, so I cannot vote for the rail trail through Lake Country. I do have a strong opinion about it. Even though I am 70 years of age, I am a strong believer in building B.C. communities for the benefit of future generations, especially in the Central Okanagan and in the Okanagan Valley. I would ask all of you who have the opportunity to vote to consider the following: in a democracy, the majority rules. Win or lose, the results are said to belong to all in the area the vote occurs. Remember that Vernon lost the airport by a handful of votes; Kelowna got the airport by a handful of votes. Yet to this day, you hear, "Vernon voted against the airport; Kelowna voted for it." Not by how much in either case. The point is this, the way you vote at the time is looked at in the future as immaterial to what the majority eventually did at that time. However, all of those who are eligible to vote now, along with the future generations who could possibly see the rail trail disappear out of public use, still have to
ing new facilities, such as the trail, is not an either or decision. We need to do both and we need to recognize that we will have to pay for both. Several people have told me they will vote no because they are mad at Lake Country and its council for decisions on other matters. They want to punish those currently in city hall, all of whom will move on; and I can say from experience, after they are gone, no one will remember who they were. bear the responsibility of the actions of that majority, should the majority vote against that trail. Get your vote done; hopefully such that someday it can be said, "Lake Country had enough foresight to see the jewel they and the Okanagan had and voted to go after it for us who live in the future." Jim Edgson COMMUTER TRAIN NEEDED I agree with Corrinne Cormier that we should keep the rail line for commuter trains. I am a senior and will be out of my car soon, so I would love a way to shop and go for lunch in another community. Carol Maveety BILL CONCERNS Mr. Mayes, I just read in The Morning Star that you haven't received any comments regarding bill C51. Well, I am not affiliated with any political party, and I am writing to let you know that I am very concerned
The trail will be there forever. Voting no will not punish existing politicians or bureaucrats; it will punish Lake Country's current and future citizens. If we vote yes and move forward to build this great trail, our grand children and their grand children will be using and enjoying it for years to come. If we vote no, they will be asking us why we were so cheap that we couldn't come up with an average of $27 a year for 20 years to provide a world class trail for them to use. about C51 and potential abuse and loss of freedom for ordinary folk. I regret the loss of life last year as much as anyone, but from studying the matter, I don't believe bill C51 would have prevented either of those incidents. Like the former omnibus bills which have decimated environmental protection, amidst other travesties, I see this bill further diminishing our democracy and placing power in the hands of those who may potentially abuse it, including the prime minister's office. Just to let you know, I also take great offense at your so-called updates to constituents which I receive in my mail box on a regular basis. These pieces of paper are distributed at significant cost to me and all taxpayers, and are used as a partisan vehicle for you to attack other parties and tell us how wonderful your government is. I find them repugnant and insulting to my intelligence. Have a great retirement and enjoy your gold plated pension. Doug Miller

A bargain at twice the price. The city of Vancouver wisely set aside Stanley Park in 1888 when its population was little more than 1,000; San Diego set aside Balboa Park when its population was only 1,500. And you can bet the roads were in poor condition back then. Surely we are wise enough to secure this trail corridor now so we can get on with turning it into the fabulous asset it will be. Contrary to what some are saying, the District of Lake Country does not currently have excessive debt, nor will the rail trail boost it significantly. As former Lake Country councillor Tim Witty used to say, buying long-term assets through borrowing not only ensures that the public can start enjoying those assets now, but it ensures that the cost will be spread amongst the people who will use those assets over the life of those assets. This argument makes especially good sense at this time, when the municipality can borrow money as such low interest rates. Those of us who will vote yes can see the future benefit of the rail trail, and many of us are willing and able to meet the challenge of building and maintaining it. Vote yes. Do it for your grandchildren. Bob McCoubrey

Spallumcheen council vowed to keep taxes in line. Council gave unanimous approval Monday to the first three readings of its five-year financial plan bylaw which will see a total tax collection increase of less than $40,000 from last year. “It will mean about a $53 increase on the average residential single-family home in the township,” said Brian FreemanMarsh, chief financial officer.

Those residents who pay taxes on Class 9 properties will see a decrease. “If they paid $1,000 last year, they’ll pay about $750 this year,” said Freeman-Marsh.

The financial plan in 2015 calls for revenues of $8.5 million, more than half of which will come from municipal property taxes. Capital expenditures for 2015 will be nearly $2.6 million, spent on roads and streets, along with $528,000 – the township’s portion – toward the Armstrong Spallumcheen fire hall expansion. Nearly $4.4 million will be spent on other municipal purposes, which includes policing costs. Council is expected to adopt the financial plan at its next regular meeting May 4.

Vernon RCMP have rescinded a violation ticket given to a Vernon woman on an electric scooter involved in a collision last week with a pickup truck.

along with damage to her scooter. “Under the Motor Vehicle Act, the ticket written to the individual on the scooter did not fall into the criteria they initially wrote the offence for,” said Gord Molendyk, spokesperson for the Vernon RCMP. The woman was operating her vehicle on the sidewalk, which is where she was supposed to be, said Molendyk, but should have taken precautions. “You are like a pedestrian even though you’re in a mobile device like a scooter,” said Molendyk. “If you are walking on the sidewalk, it makes sense that you take some precautions like slowing down and checking to make sure somebody’s not coming out of the alleyway. In this particular case, it appears that did not happen.” The driver of the truck was not injured and was not charged. Attempts to contact the woman for comment by The Morning Star were unsuccessful.
Workers mourned Morning Star Staff
Vernon residents can take part in the National Day of Mourning Tuesday. The half-hour ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. at city hall, where the flags will be lowered to half-mast and a moment of silence observed to remember workers who have been injured or lost their lives in the workplace. “In B.C., an average of three workers die each week, 3,200 work injuries are reported every week and 19 workers are permanently disabled every working day,” said Tanya Laing Gahr, the city’s communications co-ordinator. Mayor Akbal Mund and representatives from the joint occupational health and safety committee, CUPE and the Vernon Fire Department will speak at the event. More than 20 years ago, the Canadian Labour Congress declared April 28 a National Day of Mourning for workers who have been killed, or who suffer disease or injury as a result of work.

School budget highlights tough decisions Morning Star Staff
A challenging financial situation can’t be avoided in local schools. Vernon School District trustees proceeded with first reading of the 2015/16 budget Wednesday. “Inflationary and
other cost pressures plus a cut in provincial funding of a little over $400,000 mean the school district faces a shortfall of about $950,000 this year.” said Adrian Johnson, acting secretary treasurer. “The situation
will get worse for the 2016/17 school year, when we see a further cut of $400,000 in provincial funding.” However, $200,000 is being put towards e d u c at i o n - o r i e nt e d information technology services and $150,000

This is a prudent
amount for emergencies, being about 1.5 per cent of our annual revenues,” said Johnson. “Using reserves is not a sustainable way of funding our operations though, and, with the additional $400,000 in cuts expected the following year, means we will be struggling to cut our budget by about $1.4 million for the 2016/17 school year.” The budget is based
on input from parents, support workers and teachers. “Between now and December, we will use the results of the public input to thoroughly and strategically analyze our expenditures and identify how we can bridge this $1.4 million funding gap with minimal impact on education in future years,” said Joe Rogers, district superintendent.

spearheading the event hosted by CMHA to raise money for Ride Don’t Hide, which raises funds for local Canadian Mental Health Association programs. “Durali supports health awareness. Come join us for a night of fun and celebration for our friends, family and neighbours,” said Godard, with Durali Villa. Eighty tickets will be sold for the evening of live music, food and silent auction. As a new mother and someone who has family members that struggle with mental illness, Godard is particularly fond of the CMHA’s pilot project Super Saturdays. The program takes children of parents with mental illness for a day of adventure and fun, free of charge, one Saturday a month. “We provide a safe fun environment and experiences they wouldn’t be able to have with their parents,” said Hannah Rail, CMHA recreation co-ordinator. “We are hoping that with more funding from Ride Don’t Hide that we can expand Super Saturdays to more than once a month and have it for more kids in the

News DON DENTON/ BLACK PRESS
Paul Nichols leads fellow Canadian Forces veterans at the start of cross-country ride at the B.C. Legislature. The ride is scheduled to pass through Vernon Wednesday and Armstrong Thursday.
Veterans ride TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Quesnel rancher Paul Nichols kicked off a cross-Canada horseback recently to introduce a new generation of veterans to the public and seek their support. Nichols, who served with Canadian troops during ethnic warfare in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, struggled to control his emotions at a ceremony at the B.C. Legislature. “Our Canadian troops do a hard job for us, and when they choose to transition back into civilian life, some of them struggle and lose their way,” said Nichols. “And I can tell you from personal experience that a heartfelt thank-you and timely support from the community during that time of transition can be life-changing. So my job through this foundation is to put as many Canadian veterans in the saddle as I can.” Accompanied by other B.C. veterans and his wife Terry, a therapeutic riding instructor, Nichols plans to connect with 700 veterans in an eight-month journey ending in St. John’s, Nfld. The ride is slated to pass through Vernon Wednesday and Armstrong Thursday. “That awareness will create change, and with that change I believe that we can lower the incidence and severity of post-traumatic stress disorder, lower the incidence of family breakup and I think we can lower the incidence of veteran suicide,” said Nichols. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon attended the ceremony to wish the riders well on their journey, offering a stop for hay and food at her ranch in the Nicola Valley. The ride also includes stops in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Princeton, Summerland and Kelowna before continuing into Alberta in May. For more information the ride, and to follow its progress, see their website at www.communitiesforveterans.com.

Stone conquers Boston Marathon Vernon runner joins field of 27,000-plus to finish historic race ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Cold. Rain. Strong headwinds. Finishing nearly half-an-hour off his qualifying time. Yet there was Rick Stone, soaking everything in at the end of his first Boston Marathon. The Vernon runner crossed the finish line on Boylston Street – site of the 2013 bombings that killed three people and injured hundreds of others – in three hours and 37 minutes. “The experience was almost surreal,” said Stone, 44, a professional sports scheduler, with the legendary Boston event being his 10th overall marathon. “Such incredible crowds every step of the way. I must have high-fived a thousand people along the way. So many incredible runners of all ages, and some really inspirational runners. “Not only the whole ‘Boston Strong’ theme, but people running for Martin Richard (eight-year-old 2013 bombing victim), blind runners (with guides), autistic runners (with guides), little people and people without legs running on those blades. Watching some of them running, and running fast, makes the cold, windy
weather seem like a pretty minimal obstacle.” Stone, a father of four, qualified for Boston by running a 3:07 marathon in St. George, Utah. After attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, Stone was surprised in Boston by his wife, Morgan. The two toured the historic city with stops at Harvard University and the pub used in the hit sitcom Cheers before Stone prepped to join a field of 27,165 for the 117th annual edition of the big race which would be run in 7C temperatures with 47-kilometres/hour headwinds. “For me, the toughest part of the race was a hamstring cramp at about mile 21 which stopped me dead in my tracks for about three-to-four minutes to stretch and massage it,” said Stone. “Part of it was the weather, part of it was a lack of fitness, and part of it was just wanting to enjoy my first Boston. Next year I can worry about time.” After the race, Stone and Morgan ventured to a pub for a burger and a beer where he and other Boston Marathon competitors were embraced by bar patrons. “This city treats runners like rock stars,” said Stone. “Walk into the bar and everyone stands and claps. How cool is that?” Ethiopia’s Lelisa Desisa, the 2013 winner (before the bombing), won the men’s event this year in 2:0917. Kenya’s Caroline Rotich won the women’s division in 2:24:55.

Controllers use strong second half to secure win Morning Star Staff
Turn-Key Controls took down Monashee Surveying 4-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday at MacDonald Park. Thomas Pool opened the scoring for Turn-Key when he would strip a Monashee defender of the ball and beat the goalie from in close on a great solo effort.
It was 1-0 Controllers at the break. Monashee evened the game early in the first half when Tyler Johnson would convert a penalty in the opening minutes. The goal seemed to wake up Turn-Key as they would quickly respond with newcomer Nick Macdonald converting a rebound bar down off a great save by
the Monashee keeper from a Jeremy Kler shot. Pool would convert his second of the night when he would take a great through ball pass from Kanwar Pandher and dangle the Monashee keeper before finishing. Enzo Paal, fresh off a successful season with the UBCO Heat, would round out the scoring for Turn-Key
Controls, who improved to 2-0 with the victory. The Surveyors fell to 0-2. Also at Mac Park, North Enderby Timber knocked off a stubborn Peters Tirecraft squad 1-0. Timber scored the only goal it would need 20 minutes into the match when Finlay McPhie found a streaking Chris Ovens down the side. Ovens then fed Kyle
Halvorson, who beat keeper Tony Mostardi on a one-timer. NET thought they went up 2-0 five minutes later on a Halvorson strike, but without goalline technology no one was sure. The first star on the night was Tirecraft keeper Mostardi, who saved anything and everything NET put on or around the goal.

NET’s stifling defence held the Tiremen to just one shot on goal in the contest. Timber improved to 2-0 on the young season, while Peters Tirecraft dropped to 0-2. The undefeated squads meet Wednesday at Mac Park with Turn-Key taking on NET. Peters Tirecraft will face Monashee. Both games start at 6:30 p.m.

Cookie Monsters squeeze past Rubber Duckies Morning Star Staff
The C o ok ie Monsters munched the Rubber Duckies 4-1 in Under 12 boys youth soccer action Saturday at Marshall Field. Keeper Brandon Phillips keyed the Monsters’ offence with a boot to Quinn Soon at centre. With pace, Soon juked in off the right wing and drilled mesh on the far side. Damian Glover nearly added to the Monsters’ cache with a bullish run to the Ducky net. Evan Bush was dangerous, feeding through balls to Monster mates for quality chances. Phillips made a number of acrobatic saves to preserve the 1-0 advantage to halftime. Early in the second, Cookie Monster Connor Strilchuk nailed the post off a Tavis Whibley corner. The combo soon

Both sides enjoyed several chances in an exciting match that went scoreless until the final stages. Braydon Beese would score the only goal of the contest with minutes to go. Justin Brunton recorded the shutout. Proud parents from both teams watched from the sidelines as their kids demonstrated good sportsmanship and team play. The Orange Tigers bounced the Blue Skittles 5-2 in Under 9 girls play Saturday morning at Creekside Park. Early on, Sophie Challen was a defensive rock for the Skittles. Moving up to the forward line, Challen scored just before the half, running the ball out of the left wing corner and booting it inside the
near post. In the second half, Lauren Cunningham and Aida Dempsey made scintillating saves in the Skittles’ net. Jasmine Soon counted the candy club’s second with a cracker of a kick. Ava Wood assisted, first blocking a Tiger shot and then making a run up the middle with Soon. Rookies Emmah Pedersen, Sierra Allen, Ar wyn Thomas, and Kiana Bussiere impressed, injecting energy into the Skittle lineup. The Golden Girls blanked the Ice Breakers 3-0 in other U13 girls action. Newcomers Jenna Chiroff and Keely Tiessen both scored for the Golden Girls, while Grace An connected on a beautiful kick from midfield. Wingers Joelle
Smid and Savannah Jodoin ran miles for the Golden Girls, while Katelyn Holm registered the shutout. The first half was scoreless thanks to some smart defending by Ice Breaker fullback Quita King and keeper Becky Herrick. Down a goal in the second half, the Ice Breakers pushed back with Jennika Bobryk and Emily Broderick using good dribbling and passing to create scoring opportunities on the fast break. Hana Meyer scored in the first half and Courtney Blaeser added one in the second to lead Young Life to a 2-0 victory over North Okanagan United FC Jr. Kickers in U18 girls play. Johie Burns was a standout on defence and Ashleigh Cohen was great in goal for

But the Monsters quickly quieted the quackers, as Phillips, now at midfield, popped a pass over the Duck defence to Owen Sunderland, who scorched the back of the net. Strilchuk followed with his second, converting a rebound after the Duckies’ keeper robbed Whibley on a breakaway. The Printech Blue Steel and the Printech Gold battled to a 2-2 draw in U13 boys action. The Gold led 2-0 at the break but the Blue Steel came back in the second with Jared Ross converting from Ryan Ponipal on the first snipe. Ponipal equalized on a feed Jared Ross. In other U13 boys play, the Italian Kitchen Scrubs clipped the Fairfield Inn & Suites 1-0.
Young Life. Royal LePage Team Red shaded Royal LePage Team White 2-1 on goals by Kristin Ho and Mackenzie Gilman in U12 girls play. Randi Piattoni replied for Team White, coached by Holly Colovos. Team White consists of students from Kidston and BX schools creating new friendships and team spirit. Kidston teammates are Eve Cleland, Tatum Secretan, Ella Knowles and Brynn Korol, while BX teammates are Randi, Kaia and Mackenzie Barnard, Riley Papke, Taylor Land-Osullivan and Lola Phillips, making for a strong lineup. Team Red is coached by Dave Roemer. The two other Royal LePage teams – Orange iced the Blue Thunder 2-0 – took a knee and observed a moment of silence Saturday in honour of former coach Hailey Woon, who died in 2014 in a single-vehicle accident in Australia. Several of the U12 girls were coached by Hailey last year. Blue Thunder coach Dave Hesketh spoke with the coaches and referees and requested that the girls honour coach Hailey before kickoff. “Hailey was a part of our soccer family and this felt like the right thing to do; it was a good life lesson for these young girls in helping to teach them respect and honour,” said Hesketh.

In other first division play, Peacock Sheridan Group (PSG) of Kelowna shut down Salmon Arm Glenn Power 3-0 at MacDonald Park. Midfielder Steph Taylor converted a great through ball from Mel Shannon giving the Reds a 1-0 lead at 10 minutes. To generate some offence and sustained pressure, PSG moved defender and 11-year veteran Steph Conti into the middle beside Taylor which allowed Shannon to push up and attack. Taylor found Shannon 10 minutes into the second half for a low shot, far post. Leanne Avdich then pushed a long through ball in to Shannon, who beat two defenders before walking around the keeper for further insurance.

Talks proceed over rail line Black Press
If Lake Country residents vote yes Saturday on the acquisition of the CN Rail corridor, the issue of the two Oyama homeowners with the rightof-first-refusal won’t scuttle the deal. In fact dealing with just two land-owners in a deal that includes 47 kilometres of land is unheard of when it comes to property acquisitions done by the City of Kelowna, according to Doug Gilchrist, director of community planning and real estate in Kelowna. “There are 147 titles (along the corridor) and we only have a few that are at all in question which is really unheard of in this kind of acquisition,” said Gilcrhist, who noted any financial settlement with individual homeowners will come from the existing budget of the inter-jurisidictional team. “There is only the two properties. We have met with one of them and are working with them to find a resolution and they are being very amicable. “The Day family has chosen to trigger the right-of-first-refusal feeling that they are in better place to negotiate to try and have the track relocated to benefit the house. We are fine with that. It’s not ideal but we will work with them.” Working with property owners not wanting to sell is something the real estate team at the City of Kelowna is used to. The difference in the CN Rail corridor
For the record The Morning Star wishes to correct an error in a photo from the April 19 edition. Money raised at the second annual Autism Awareness Walk goes to the walk committee to help pay for costs associated with next year’s event, and not to NONA. We apologize for the error.
BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
Two sections of rail corridor could be purchased by residents living next door. purchase is the length of the corridor and the fact there are a relatively small number of parcels owned by individuals that have to be negotiated with. He pointed to past land deals that saw the City of Kelowna acquire private land to extend Gordon Drive or Highway 33 as examples where municipal staff had many files to work through before finishing the deals. “Any new road that goes through might have upwards of 20 or 30 or 40 homeowners and we negotiate with
every property owner and many of them don’t want to sell,” he said. “It’s not unusual. We find a way to meet their needs and make sure they are fairly compensated. This is absolutely commonplace. The only thing that is unusual is we are getting so much of it in one transaction.” Gilchrist said in no way will the negotiations between the i nt e r- ju r i s d i c t i on a l team and the two property owners scuttle the deal to purchase the corridor. “If the referendum is positive and if things
are worked out with the Okanagan Indian Band challenge, we will complete the deal, take title and continue to work with them,” he said. As far as the Day family goes, they are one of several homes that the rail corridor passes very close to. They have committed to purchasing the rail corridor from CN and seeing what happens with the referendum. Moira Day says it’s been a difficult process to hear criticism from some members of the public as she confirmed there has been negatives written about them online. “I try not to let it bother me,” she said. “Those people don’t know anything about us. They just see us as a threat. “We are merely trying to stand up for what is ours. This (rail corridor) is going to devalue our property so we have to think long and hard about it.”

NOTICE TO ELECTORS
Alternative Approval Process for the Disposition of Park Lands Acquired in Relation to Subdivision Bylaw No. 2665, 2015 Pursuant to Section 86 of the Community Charter, the Board of Directors of the Regional District of North Okanagan (the “Regional District”) is proposing to seek the approval of qualified electors within the Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture Service Area consisting of the City of Vernon, District of Coldstream and Electoral Areas “B” and “C” by means of an Alternative Approval Process. The question before the electors is whether they are opposed to the Regional District adopting Disposition of Park Lands Acquired in Relation to Subdivision Bylaw No. 2655, 2015 which authorizes the Regional District to dispose of park lands acquired in relation to subdivision and transfer legal ownership of these lands to the City of Vernon for $1.00 and other good and valuable consideration. This transfer of ownership is part of the restructuring of the Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture Service whereby local parks will become the responsibility of the local government in whose jurisdiction the park is located. The general intent of this Bylaw is to authorize the Regional District of North Okanagan to transfer ownership of the following park lands acquired in relation to subdivision to the City of Vernon: Property

The Regional District may proceed with the approval of the Disposition of Park Lands Acquired in Relation to Subdivision Bylaw No. 2655, 2015 unless at least ten percent (10%) of the qualified electors within the Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture Service Area indicate their opposition by signing an Elector Response Form as established by the Board of Directors. The Regional District has estimated the total number of qualified electors in the Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture Service Area service area to be 45,095. If 10% (4,510) of the estimated number of qualified electors sign an Alternative Approval Process Elector Response Form opposing the adoption of Bylaw 2665, 2015 the Regional District will not be able to proceed without receiving assent of the electors before proceeding. Be advised that: • Elector response forms must be given in the form established by the Board of Directors and are available at the following locations during regular office hours Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays until the deadline of May 26, 2015: • Regional District of North Okanagan, 9848 Aberdeen Road, Coldstream, BC • City of Vernon, 3400 – 30th Street, Vernon, BC • District of Coldstream, 9901 Kalamalka Road, Coldstream, BC • The only persons entitled to sign the elector response forms are the qualified electors within the Greater Vernon Parks, Recreation and Culture Service Area to which this Alternative Approval Process applies. Deadline for receipt of original, signed Elector Response Forms: • 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 26, 2015. • Forms must be received by the deadline to be counted. No exceptions will be made.
be immunized or have weakened immune systems like babies or people with certain health conditions. “An immunization rate of at least 90 per cent helps protect vulnerable people in the community. When the majority of people are vaccinated for a disease, it becomes harder for the disease to spread from person to person, said Dr. Althea Hayden, IHA public health physician. “When immunization rates drop, diseases come back. This puts our most vulnerable citizens at risk.” In the Interior Health region, 71 per cent of children have completed their recommended immunizations by two years of age. This number has remained relatively stable over the last few years. The provincial rate is
68 per cent. Ironically, says Hayden, one of the challenges in increasing immunization rates may be the success of immunization programs themselves. “Many of today’s parents have not seen vaccine preventable diseases in their lifetimes; thanks to very successful immunization programs, so they don’t realize how dangerous these diseases can be,” she said. “Measles and chickenpox viruses can lead to serious complications like pneumonia and encephalitis (brain swelling). Pertussis (whooping cough) can cause seizures and brain damage in babies and mumps infection can result in deafness.” To find a health centre near you, or for more information, use www.interiorhealth.ca.

Nature Challenge urges Canadians to get outdoors Morning Star Staff
Nature is calling. In celebration of Earth Day Wednesday, the David Suzuki Foundation invited Canadians to get outside for the 30x30 Nature Challenge. The fourth annual challenge is a campaign to get Canadians into “the nature habit” by spending 30 minutes a day outside for 30 consecutive days. Over the past three years, tens of thousands of individuals and hundreds of schools and workplaces have taken the challenge, reaping the many benefits of regular time spent outdoors. “A growing chorus of scientists and researchers agree: time spent in nature makes us happier, healthier and less stressed,” said Aryne Sheppard, DSF 30x30 Challenge campaign lead. “Getting a daily dose of nature through the 30x30 Nature Challenge is the best prescription for a healthy, happy spring.” People who register at www.davidsuzuki.org/30x30 get daily tips on how to add green time to busy routines during the month of May. There are also free tool kits for workplaces and schools with ideas for getting colleagues and students involved. “Getting 30 minutes outside can be a walk in a nearby park, eating lunch under a tree or holding a business meeting on a park bench or at the beach instead of in a boardroom,” said Sheppard. “Of course, we should all add nature to our routine every day, not just in May.” Since the first 30x30 Challenge in 2012, tens of thousands of individuals have heeded nature’s call, doubling their time spent
outside. Participants surveyed each year reported their daily
nature habit helped them sleep better, and feel calmer and less
stressed. The 30x30 Nature Challenge is being pre-
sented in partnership with Genuine Health, with support from
program partners, Desjardins, Elemental and Interface and

Starting Block shows spirit
Morning Star Staff
The Downtown Vernon Association has honoured a local business. During its annual general meeting, the DVA presented the Spirit of Downtown Vernon Award to the Starting Block, which is owned by Roz Beaulieu and Wendy Schroeder. The other nominees were Peacock and Lime Hair and Esthetics Studio and Olive Us. Also during the AGM, the DVA elected new board members. They are Josi Apps (Good Gracious and the Practical Kitchen), John Oh (Downtown Internet Lounge), D aniel He a le y (KPMG), Melanie Prince (Wayside Press) and Fareed Lor (Gold’N Time Jewellery). “It was exciting to see members eager to be part of the board of directors,” said Lara Konkin, executive director. “They all have a desire and vision to see continued vitality in the downtown core.” Special tribute was paid to Doug Fairweather, who served on the board for four years. “Doug was a true advocate for the business community and was dedicated to improving downtown Vernon for all of its members while providing support to many successful projects that helped shaped downtown as it is today,” said Konkin.

RDNO seeks input on agriculture Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan residents are being asked to provide input about the future of agriculture. Two open houses regarding the draft regional agricultural area plan will be held May 1 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Lumby’s White Valley Community Centre and May 2 from 9 a.m. until noon at the IPE horticulture building in Armstrong. “This is a unique opportunity for North Okanagan residents and the agricultural community to contribute to a plan that will guide future decisions on local agriculture and food production,” said Mike Macnabb, with the Regional District of North Okanagan’s regional agricultural advisory committee. The agricultural plan process was initiated in Mike Macnabb December 2013 with input provided by the member municipalities and the regional agricultural advisory committee. “Throughout the planning process, valuable feedback from both the public and agricultural stakeholders was gathered through extensive community engagement which included public open houses, surveys, focus groups and face-toface interviews,” said Macnabb. Based upon the input received, the draft plan focuses on seven priorities: 1. Protecting farmland and farmers 2. Strengthening the local agricultural economy 3. Encouraging sustainable agricultural practices 4. Managing clean and accessible water 5. Ensuring farmland availability for emerging farmers 6. Creating supportive government policies and regulations 7. Raising awareness and education “The regional district encourages all residents and agricultural stakeholders to provide comments if you are unable to attend any of the open houses either by e-mail to rgs@rdno.ca or by letter to the RDNO office,” said Macnabb. For more information on the agricultural area plan, go to www.rdno.ca.

Not to be confused with Margaret Laurence’s book of the same name, Powerhouse Theatre’s season closer and entry into this year’s O-Zones is a slice of life in a Depressionera small Indiana town Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff
They may share the same title, but Margaret Laurence’s classic novel The Diviners and Jim Leonard Jr.’s play of the same name come from two completely different bodies of water. Although they both examine the relationship between families and community, Laurence’s book is set in the 1960s in Manawaka, Manitoba, while Leonard Jr.’s play is set in the small fictitious town of Zion in Indiana circa the 1930s’ Depression. It’s the latter story audiences will witness when Powerhouse Theatre presents The Diviners at Vernon’s community theatre starting Wednesday. “(Leonard Jr.’s) Diviners is based on the concept that life is hard for everyone. There is no work, and little pay, although it is not specifically about the Depression,” said director Monty Hughes, who is bringing the play back to the stage after presenting it at the Okanagan Zone Drama Festival and also directing it at Kalamalka Secondary School more than a decade ago. Described as a conversational piece, the dialogue takes place between the main characters but also involves the peripheral townspeople. “It’s a small town of about 40 people, where everyone knows what everyone else is doing,” said Hughes. The play is centred around two tragic events: the town losing its church in a fire, and also the drowning of the protagonist’s mother eight years earlier. Played by young actor Gus Hansen, Buddy, now 12, is described as being an “idiot boy” in the play. In today’s world, his condition would be considered as savant syndrome, or another spectral disorder such as autism or Asperger’s, in that he has a social disorder but demonstrates an exceptional skill, said Hughes. In Buddy’s case, he can divine water and predict when it will rain, which helps the local farmer know when it’s time to cut the crop. The problem is that he is terrified of the water, and especially rain. “He is traumatized by the death of his mother, who saved him from drowning but died herself. He won’t go near the water or even bathe. He’s filthy and has hives,” said Hughes. “He thinks he can breathe in the water - even rain - that’s why he fears it so much.” Buddy receives help from the aptly named C.C. Showers (Erik Cherkoff), a former preacher who arrives in Zion looking for work and ends up getting a job at the bike shop

Caileigh Doroschuk (Jennie Mae), Gus Hansen (Buddy) and Erik Chirkoff (C.C. Showers) star in Jim Leonard Jr.’s The Diviners, opening at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre Wednesday. owned by Buddy’s father, Ferris (Colin Carney). Some of the townspeople, headed by local busybodies Goldie (Bev Steeves), who runs the coffee shop, and Norma (Debra Bob), who manages the hardware store, think they can railroad C.C. into becoming the new preacher, but he has left the church and embarks upon a new path - helping Buddy get over his fears. “C.C. knows the trial ahead of him and at first he doesn’t succeed,” said Hughes. “When they first meet, the first thing Buddy says to C.C. is ‘Have you seen my Momma? I haven’t seen her for the longest time.’ He hasn’t come to the realize where his mother has gone.” While helping Buddy, C.C. also forms a relationship with Buddy’s sister Jennie Mae (Caileigh Doroschuk). “Both would like their relationship to me more, but there’s a major age difference,” said Hughes. Despite the religious theme and heavy overtones, The Diviners also has quite a bit of humour. “The humour is tongue-in-cheek in many ways. Reading the script there have been things that you have to catch on to that you may not hear or see initially,” said Hughes. Most of the humour comes from the aforementioned “busybodies,” but there is also the clueless farmer Basil (Howard Joynt), whose voice could cut glass, and his wife Luella (Rosemary Enzig) and farmhands Melvin (Sheldon
Graham) and Dewey (Will MacDuff), who is in love with Norma’s daughter Darlene (Felisha Anderson). “Darlene is forced to say parts of the Bible to Norma before dinner or she doesn’t get fed,” said Hughes, adding that his cast all do a fabulous job on taking on characters with such varied personalities. The play also contains tragedy, with Hughes hinting that it ends with a baptism and not the kind one would think. The set (designed by Cara Nunn) is also abstract in that it is sparse, while costumes (designed by Bernadette O’Donnell along with Sarah McLean) speak to the times of the Depression era. Also working backstage are stage manager Raven Campbell and lighting designer Jessika LaFramboise. The Diviners opens at Powerhouse Theatre Wednesday with nightly shows (except Sunday and Monday) at 7:30 p.m. until May 9. Matinées take place May 3 and 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller (250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca). The Diviners is also Powerhouse’s entry into the Okanagan Zone (O-Zone) Drama Festival, which this year is being hosted by the Vernon community theatre. It opens the festival May 24. More information on the O-Zones, which ends May 31 with an awards ceremony, and a schedule of plays is available at theatrebc.org/zone-festivals, with tickets available at the Ticket Seller.

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND MEMORY MAN
Amos Decker’s life changed forever--twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to go pro. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field for good, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can never forget anything. The second time was at home nearly two decades later. Now a police detective, Decker returned from a stakeout one evening and entered a nightmare--his wife, young daughter, and brother-in-law had been murdered. His family destroyed, their killer’s identity as mysterious as the motive behind the crime, and unable to forget a single detail from that horrible night, Decker finds his world collapsing around him. He leaves the police force, loses his home, and winds up on the street, taking piecemeal jobs as a private investigator when he can. But over a year later, a man turns himself in to the police and confesses to the murders. At the same time a horrific event nearly brings Burlington to its knees, and Decker is called back in to help with this investigation. Decker also seizes his chance to learn what really happened to his family that night. To uncover the stunning truth, he must use his remarkable gifts and confront the burdens that go along with them. He must endure the memories he would much rather forget. And he may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Two of Canada’s brightest stars in Christian music come together to share their hits that will both inspire and entertain. Jon Neufeld, from the Juno nominated band Starfield, and five-time Covenant award winner Dan Bremnes have hit the road together for the first time with their Burn Bright and Beautiful tour, which arrives at Vernon Alliance Church Thursday at 7 p.m. Originally from Winnipeg, Neufeld now makes his home in Portland, Oregon and just released the five-song EP Burn Bright. Bremnes has just recently signed with Capitol Records and is currently working on a new CD, which will include his popular hit song Beautiful. “It’s always amazing to come back home to the Shuswap/Okanagan,” said Bremnes, who is originally from Salmon Arm. “So many of the songs

but that doesn’t give the album depth or atmosphere. Songs like Five Foot Ten (I) are perfectly arranged pieces of music that feature a nursery rhyme chorus played above pretty sounds that jingle nicely but don’t stir any affinity. Perhaps that’s it, the songs are pleasant but it’s like a 40-minutelong jingle. There are some exceptions to the candy floss: Looks Like Rain is a beautifully written track that showcases what Angelakos can do with a melody. This straight ahead approach strips away the artifice and connects on a fundamental level. The album is too affected and mechanized to generate any heat – the same sounds and themes are recycled throughout. At least it’s brief.

Lock the doors on this mall cop
P
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2
aul Blart (Kevin James) is a Segway riding mall security officer that takes his job and himself too seriously. He’s a jerk, he’s overly controlling, he’s rude, he’s obnoxious, he’s clueless and he’s smug about it. His daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) has been accepted to UCLA but is keeping that fact a secret from her father, in order not to deal with his reaction. While attending a mall security expo in Las Vegas, Taylor and Howe the Blarts uncover an art heist taking place in the Wynn Hotel. Together, the two of them will work with a gaggle of one dimensional characters to stop the bad guys and address their flimsy B-stories. We say, “Mall Cop 2 is an embarrassing waste of time and money. Don’t give it any.” TAYLOR: Wow. I hadn’t seen the original, Paul Blart: Mall Cop because I am not impressed by a fat man falling down and have better things to do with my time. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, the ingeniously titled sequel to a film now six years gone, is probably the worst movie ever made. Why Sony would bother is beyond me. Technically it’s fine. There are no boom mics in the shot, nor poor stunt or camera work. Even the acting is... well, as good as it can be. The problem is that the entire premise of Paul Blart’s character is not likeable. The plot becomes inconsequential in a comedy about something that isn’t funny. If you eliminate the slapstick of Kevin James himself, tip-toeing around cartoonishly, or falling, you are left with only the jokes you saw in the trailer (which is more physical comedy) and Blart being unpleasant. Luckily, PB:MC2 wears its heart on its sleeve and shows you exactly what it thinks is funny in the first five minutes. If you don’t laugh by then, you’re in trouble. HOWE: But kids will love it. I’m not talking about the teenagers, I’m on about the younger audience. It’s not a great movie, but it is a good
Reel Reviews
Sony PictureS
Paul Blart (Kevin James) is back riding his Segway in Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. movie that the family can enjoy together. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not side splitting hilarious but there are a few moments that made me laugh. I can’t remember any of them, but they are there. I’m not going to agree with you that this is the worst movie ever made, that honour is still held by The Three Stooges and to claim that title, a movie has to be well and truly terrible. TAYLOR: It’s true that the film isn’t going to offend anyone and that kids might like it. The problem with taking kids to a film that is merely acceptable, rather than entertaining or intelligent, is that they learn to accept this as quality, which it isn’t. It’s also confusing as Blart is not likeable. At the point where the peacock is about to attack Blart, I heard a young boy announce, “Here comes a funny part!” So even the kids who wanted to see the film say it’s predictable. This is another 90 minute Adam Sandler vacation video complete with unfunny jokes for kids and pointless references for adults. It’s a complete waste of time. At least with the Stooges I expect to be insulted. – Howe gives Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 2 works of art out of 5. – Taylor gives it 1 joke out of 5.

Armstrong named top market There will be fresh asparagus and more as the Armstrong Farmers’ Market opens for the season Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
It’s been more than 40 years since a group of farmers joined forces to form the Armstrong Farmers’ Market. The oldest continuously running market in B.C. has just been named Farmers’ Market of the Year at the annual B.C. Association of Farmer’s Market Conference, winning in the medium (21 to 60 vendors) category. “It was a real honour to receive this award, thanks to all of the hard work of our vendors and our volunteer board of directors,” said Cat Majors, president of the Armstrong Farmers’ Market (AFM). “Many thanks go out to them for the vital ongoing teamwork.” The awards recognize outstanding farmers’ markets that are exemplary in adding value to their communities. A review panel made up of industry experts considered how each farmers’ market connected producers to consumers through fresh, locally grown foods and artisan products. The AFM began in 1973 thanks to a handful of concerned farmers who wanted to sell their produce to local citizens while at the same time provide a livelihood for themselves from the fruits of their labours. Among the pioneers were the Jong family, the Maw family, Raymond Hitt of

Valley Vista Farm, Art Cayford of Morning Sun Orchard, Mildred Inglis and Margaret Andres. “Soon, a colourful array of local crafters added to the mix. Amazingly, the Jong family, the Maw family, Raymond Hitt and Art Cayford continue to provide their healthy local fruits and vegetables to the community from the Armstrong Farmers’ Market to this day,” said Majors. “Their dedication is a good example of carrying on the tradition of the small family farm as sustainable agriculture. “And we have another funfilled delicious year coming up to continue our reputation as an enjoyable Saturday morning destination for all ages.” Majors said the secret to the market’s success is that its customers are their neighbours, and they all care about the freshness and taste of local produce, as well as the importance of being environmentally responsible. But the Saturday morn-
ing market is also about fun, beginning with the handmade circus pennants made by local artist Jamie Frazer. “They add perfectly to a whimsical atmosphere. We also have some pretty unique special events, and lots of other non-profit organizations are encouraged to attend which adds up to a great market experience for the community.” The AFM is also known for being the place to find some of the first fresh local asparagus, usually in late April, and that means at the first market of the season on Saturday, there will be plenty of the tasty green spears on hand. “And one really can’t overestimate the exquisite flavour and variety of heirloom fruits and vegetables that are grown in our area.” Throughout the market season, there are a number of special events, such as the Mother’s Day Market May 9. The fun begins with the Armstrong Elementary School maypole dancers parading

A clever design, however, allows an owner to fit more stuff in a Fit than seems possible and it comes with an excellent occupant protection safety package. The gas tank in a Fit is positioned further forward to allow a low, flat cargo floor in the rear and its seating can contort to a multitude of setups, to accommodate all kinds of cargo. Its rear side doors also open extra wide, making it easier to get that stuff in or out. There’s ample headroom for tall occupants and Fit’s cabin feels more spacious than most in this class. The second-generation ’09 redesign gave Fit a more rigid and slightly longer body with even more passenger cabin space; an increase in engine power and this Fit is (marginally) more fuel-efficient. The extra inner space was achieved by positioning the front pillars further forward. Rear passengers benefited most with increased leg and headroom. Fit comes in three trim levels; DX, LX and a top-line Sport edition. All trims are powered by the same 117-horsepower 1.5-litre engine and come standard with six airbags and anti-lock (ABS) brakes. The top-line Fit Sport adds a 160-watt
premium audio system, keyless entry, fog lights, a rear roofline spoiler, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 15-inch alloy wheels and an aero under-body kit,. Interestingly, the auto transmission versions come with a tire inflation kit instead of a spare wheel. It was a weight-reduction measure that also adds some extra storage space. A proper (conventional) spare wheel was offered as an option for the original owner. Although it’s certainly not limited to being an urban runabout as Fit is surprisingly stable on the highway, considering its short wheelbase and trim, tall-ish body. Yet, some will probably find the highspeed cabin noise level and Fit’s taut ride a little tiresome on a long road trip. Mechanical reliability is excellent and city/highway fuel economy is roughly the same with the base five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. Using the new five-cycle rating method, an ’09 Fit with an automatic should consume 8.3 litres every 100 km when driven in the city and 6.6 litres every 100 km on the highway. The only significant production change to the second generation Fit came for the 2011 model year when an electronic stability control system was included as a standard feature on the Sport edition. It was optional on other editions and it’s definitely a very good handling enhancing safety feature. Popular cars sell at premium resale prices and the second generation Honda Fit is a
prime example. Beware of imports from the east (do an ownership history check) as corrosion and road salt issues are a concern. If you’re paying a premium price, make sure it’s a primo Honda Fit.

intelligent connectivity between a MINI car and eyewear into which relevant content is projected might work in the future,” explained Dr. Jörg Preißinger, project-manager MINI Augmented Vision, BMW Group research and technology. “Working with several Qualcomm companies, we have created an interlinked system and augmented reality eyewear with a characteristic MINI design that revolutionise the experience both in and outside the vehicle. This prototype with its customised, interactive functions succeeds in fusing augmented reality with the brand’s trademark sense of lifestyle.” Using see-through technology, the eyewear projects information in the driver’s direct field of view without concealing other traffic. “We are proud to have helped develop a breakthrough augmented reality interface between eyewear and the automobile,” said Jay Wright, Vice President, Qualcomm Connected
Experiences, Inc. “MINI Augmented Vision offers a compelling example of what’s possible today, and what we can expect in the future.” The technology will enable drivers to enter destination details outside of the car then transfer the information to the onboard navigation. The navigation will then display from the current location to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the final destination. Direction instructions in the shape of coloured arrows will appear projected on the road ahead at the turns.
Current speed and posted speed limits will be projected into the driver’s field of view above the steering wheel, without obscuring the road ahead. A small icon shows in the eyewear when a message is received and the SMS/ message can then be read out by the “car”. Now this is an amazing feature: A virtual view through parts of the vehicle (such as A-pillars and doors) makes visible external areas or objects concealed by the car’s body parts! keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

It’s all about the tires
driveway
Aircross Makes Debut
By Ian Harwood
Driving down a gravel road to get to your favorite fishing hole or a day out with your family brings lots of enjoyment. Getting there requires proper tires. Rocks, potholes, and rough terrain all play are part on how your tires perform. The main function of any tire is to provide traction. Having good traction tires helps off-roaders get to where they need to go without being stuck. When shopping for an off-road/ on road tire there are a few things to consider. Cheap tires are not the best option because “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. Some things to consider are high mileage tires and tread wear ratings. Some aggressive mud tires tend to wear a lot quicker than an all-terrain tire.
French manufacturer Citroën staged the world premiere of its new Aircross concept at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this week. The large sport utility vehicle is powered by plug-in hybrid technology.
The next thing to consider is tire size. You can contact the manufacturer or check tire charts that give you variety of sizes to fit your vehicle. The height of your sidewall is important and should be chosen based on the conditions where you drive your truck most often.

If you only drive on the street then a low profile truck tire will be fine, but if you go off-roading then you are going to want more tire in between your rim and the ground. That way you will not bottom out on the rims when the tires encounter rough terrain off-road. The size of the rim is a personal preference. Popular today are the larger sized rims. Just make sure that the rim and truck tire you choose will fit inside the wheel well of the truck, and don’t forget to upgrade your brakes to help stop this increase in weight.

Seasonal changes can affect the air pressure of the tires. Cold temperatures are responsible for dropping the air pressure of the tires, and warm temperatures are responsible for increasing the air pressure. A 10 percent swing in the temperatures causes a 1lb. change in the air pressure. Sudden changes in temperature are a good time to check the pressure of the tires.

The Wheel Rim width varies from truck to truck. It can be custom made to suit both on and off road driving conditions. The wheel rim width is rounded off to the nearest half inch of the tire. Usually, the best choice is to have the rim width at about 90 percent of the tread width of the tire. Adequate air pressure is important for a good tire life, handling, and traction. Look through your truck’s owner’s manual, on the sticker inside the driver’s door, or look on the tire itself to find the correct air pressure that you need to maintain them.
You can reduce the wear and tear of the truck’s tires by rotating them often. Rotating the tires, keeps the tread wear balanced and can really help when slippery and wet conditions occur. A simple rule about rotating your tires is to do it on every other oil change. Doing this consistent basis, will make the tires last longer and allow a comfortable ride for many, many kilometres.

PLAY
Agnes de Mille, a former dancer and choreographer, said, “Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how ... We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” At the bridge table, we do have to guess occasionally, but more often there are sufficient clues to make the right choice clear. In today’s deal, cover the South and West hands. South is in four spades. West leads the heart two. How should East plan the defence? In the auction, West used the Unusual No-trump, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest-ranking unbid suits: clubs and diamonds.
North just blasted into four spades, hoping that if the opponents sacrificed in five clubs, partner would be able to double. When West leads the heart two, East knows that it is either a singleton or from three cards. When you face an either-or position like this, usually the bidding will tell you which it is. Here, if West started with 0-3-5-5, South would have began with an unlikely 7-11-4. If West held 2-1-5-5, though, South would have 5-3-1-4, which is much more probable. So, East wins the first trick and (tries to) give his partner a heart ruff at trick two. And because East’s potential reentry is in clubs, the lowerranking of the other two side suits, he carefully leads
his heart three, which sends a so-called suit-preference signal. Now the pressure is on West. After ruffing at trick two, he must trust his partner and shift to a low club. East will win with his king and deliver a second heart ruff to defeat the contract.

HENCZEL - ETHEL MARGARET HENCZEL (NEE KROPP) It is very sad to announce the passing of Ethel Henczel, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend to many. She passed away peacefully on April 16, aged 84, in her residence at Heritage Square, Vernon, with her loving husband George at her side. Beloved mom to her three children: George Stringer, Margot Hohert (Andrew) and Keith. Loving grandma of Evan (Aimee), Kyle (Kate), Geoffrey, Trevor and Matthew; caring sister to Alice Fisher (Douglas), Carl Kropp (Judy) and the late Mildred MacDonald (Walt); affectionate aunt to her cherished nieces and nephews. Born in Eastview (Ottawa), Ontario, she moved to Vancouver soon after her 1951 graduation from the Ottawa Civic Hospital School of Nursing. With her strong faith she was an active church member, devoted also as a spouse, parent, and professional caregiver. A memorial service will be held on May 8th, 1pm, at First Lutheran Church 4091 Lakeshore Rd. Kelowna B.C. As an expression of sympathy, donations in memory of Ethel are welcomed to Lutheran Hour Ministries or Lutheran Bible Translators (Canada or USA). Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kelowna, B.C. ph: 250-762-2299.
Michael “Mic” Jones 1935 - 2015 Mic was born in London, England and joined the RAF at the age of 14 and became an aircraft mechanic. In 1972, at the age of 36 he came to Vancouver where he met Lynda and married within months. He worked as an aircraft mechanic and as a heavy-duty mechanic until he retired officially in 2000. Mic fought several medical challenges in his later years but beat or managed them all and continued his active life of sailing, camping and playing his bagpipes. An unfortunate accident with his backhoe on his Falkland acreage took the last of his nine lives and he died “with his boots on” as he wanted. He played the pipes first with the Shuswap Pipe Band and for the last 11 years with the Kalamalka Highlanders Pipe Band. He was loved for his humour, wit, creativity, awesome friendship and advice. He was always first in line to help anyone and although he could fix just about anything he was also good at teaching others how to do it themselves. Mic will be missed by his wife Lynda, brother-in-law Don McGregor (Sandra), brother-in-law Bob Cook (Dianne) and many friends. He lost one brother Robert in 2014 but is survived by brother Victor, a son Craig and daughter Lyn, all in England. No service. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary @ www.MyAlternatives.ca.

Arthur Frederick Poggemiller Arthur Frederick Poggemiller, born April 25th, 1926 in Macklin Saskatchewan, died peacefully on April 14th at the Victoria Chinatown Care Centre in the company of his beloved family. He is predeceased by his wife, Jean Poggemiller, and survived by his children, Barbara Poggemiller, David (Dawn) Poggemiller, Kathy (Brad) Shirley, and Sheila (Chris) Lown, and his grandchildren Kaia, Kelcey, Amanda, Tasha, Dallas, Sophie, Joel, and Emelia, and his great-grandchildren Cole and Rowan. He is also survived by his siblings, Marion (Norna) and Al (Star). After many years owning and operating Capitol Motors GM dealership in Vernon, B.C., Arthur found his true passion helping others as a case councilor for the Federal Business Development Bank, first in Vernon, and then in Victoria. A committed athlete, he was an accomplished tennis player, golfer, and later, bridge player. He and his wife Jean loved to travel to new places and meet new people. He was a gentle man and a gentleman. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Our Place Society at 919 Pandora Avenue in Victoria, a charity Arthur supported, or another local food bank. At Arthur’s request there will be no public memorial service.
Peter Lawton
Passed away suddenly April 9, 2015, after a day of enjoying the sunshine and downtown spring gardens while walking with his wife, Patricia, and their dog, Lacey. He was well known for enjoying the company and stories of his many pet loving friends and acquaintances. Peter, shown here in his baby photo, was chosen as England’s Most Beautiful Baby (96 years ago) and remained all his life as the most beautifully warmhearted gentleman his family was proud to call their own. Unforgettable … in every way. He served as an officer with the British Marines during WWII from 1932 until the war’s end which was 15 years. Peter moved to Canada in 1947. Peter will be sadly missed by his loving wife, Patricia; his children Michael, Sandra, Cliff (Holly), and Lavern (Steve); granddaughters Erin (Adam) and Jennifer (Cliff) and his four great-grandchildren Aureilia, Abby James and Max. He was born in Lytham St. Ann’s, Lancashire, England in 1917. The family gives warm thanks to Dr. Deetlefs and Dr. Duncan for their loving kindness and help through this difficult time. There will be no service. Cremation arrangements entrusted to B.C.M.S. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted by the Vernon S.P.C.A.

VUJASIC, Maria
March 20, 1935 – April 17, 2015 Maria was born in Hrvatska Kostajnica, Croatia on March 20, 1935. She leaves behind her husband of 50 years, Stjepan Vujasic; five daughters, Jadranka Delisimunovic (Aiden Kelly), Katy (Scott) McLean, Josephine Vujasic, Minka Vujasic (Dave Whibley) and Ivka (Robert) Wolanski; honorary son, Lloyd Guenther; grandchildren, Katarina Delisimunovic (Martin Folprecht), Sofija Delisimunovic (Derek Ingram), Chase Higgins, Alicia Higgins and Lily McLean; nieces, Catherine Dumbovic and Angela Dumbovic (Davor Lulic and daughter Ella); and nephew, John Dumbovic (Reina and son Tony). Maria came to Canada in 1966 and dedicated her life to her family and friends. We were so blessed and grateful to have had a mother that showed us unconditional love our entire lives. While her external beauty was undeniable, her heart is where she shined most. She was an angel to all those that were privileged enough to have met her. We now have a guardian angel watching over us as we navigate life without her smile and warm embrace. Even in the later years, she remained true to her loving nature despite her cognitive decline due to Alzheimer’s. She maintained her grace until the very end. Maria died at home, peacefully with her husband and daughters by her side. Our mom lived a full 80 years of life radiating love wherever she went. She loved to read books, and her love of poetry and stories made for creative life lessons learned growing up. Maria leaves a legacy of love for her friends and family to continue on. Choose compassion whenever possible, in our mother’s memory. We love you, mama, now and forever… until we meet again. The family is truly touched by the outpouring of love received both here and from abroad during our time of grief and serves to remind us how lovely a person she was. Sands ~ Nanaimo (250)753-2032
