The Morning Star is consistent. For the fourth straight year, the North Okanagan’s favourite newspaper is a top three finalist in its circulation category for general excellence in the 94th annual Ma Murray B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association Awards. “It takes a team to do what we do and it takes a great team to accomplish this feat four years in a row,” said publisher Ian Jensen. General excellence encompasses all aspects of a newspaper, from the writing and photos, to headlines, ad creation, ad Ian Jensen content and classified advertising. The Morning Star, owned and operated by Black Press, has placed third, second and third the last three years. The paper is a finalist this year with Kamloops This Week and The Vancouver Courier. A total of 11 Black Press publications are among the 21 finalists for general excellence awards in the seven categories (The Morning Star is in the largest circulation category). B.C. Community News general manager George Affleck was impressed with the amount and quality of entries that came pouring in for the Ma Murray Awards, which also recognizes individual excellence in advertising, reporting and photography. “Our judges felt the same way,” said Affleck. “Over and over, we heard the same thing from judges, along the lines of ‘It’s wonderful how much great work is still out there.’ Clearly, community papers in B.C. and the Yukon are alive and well.” The order of finish for the top three will be announced at the event’s gala evening Saturday, May 7, at the River Rock Casino and Resort in Richmond.

Armstrong school closure decision delayed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Armstrong Elementary School will remain open, at least for now. North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees backed off on a plan Tuesday that would have seen the landmark school shut down this year. Instead, the consultation process about possible closure will run until April 2017. “We’re very happy with the extension so we can gather more information,” said Kim Weston, part of a group of parents fighting to keep AES open. “It deserves to have more time to look at. We want to be part of the solution and bolster schools in Armstrong.” A task force will also be created to review demographic information, school configurations and catchment areas in Armstrong, The school district had been under pres-

sure to slow the decision-making process down. “We wanted more time to explore the options for our area,” said Chris Pieper, Armstrong mayor. Pieper isn’t sure what direction will be taken to maintain all of the schools in his community. “It’s not an easy process because the school district is not in conKelly Rowe trol of funding. But this gives the community and the school district time to look at programming and buildings. I hope we can find a solution.” If AES had closed, there would have been kindergarten to Grade 7 at Len Wood

(currently a middle school) and Highland Park Elementary. Pleasant Valley Secondary School would have been Grade 8 to 12. Kelly Rowe, Armstrong trustee, supports the extended consultation process and task force. “I hope we can take a microscopic look at the budget and find ways to reduce expenses so we can keep the schools open,” she said. One item to possibly be investigated by the task force is French immersion in Armstrong. “Parents take their children into Vernon or Salmon Arm for classes. It’s about keeping kids in the community and filling seats,” she said. Because the decision to delay closing Armstrong and Silver Creek schools has been delayed, there will be no savings for 2016/17 and the district faces a $1.3 million Stk# P15-920

shortfall. This could lead to cuts to libraries, music, gifted education, career programs, literacy interventions, alternate education programs, counselling services and speech therapy. “Cuts are unavoidable, we can not balance the budget otherwise. By making the choice not to close schools, we are going to have to choose to cut programs,” said Bobbi Johnson, board chairperson. “What’s going to be cut? I don’t know right now, that will become part of our budget discussions.” Rowe insists that residents, community leaders and trustees need to take the issue of education funding directly to the provincial government. “There is something wrong provincewide when this is happening,” she said of cuts and school closures. — with files from the Salmon Arm Observer

Region rallies to make Lumby No. 1 RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There is high-level support when it comes to making Lumby Kraft Hockeyville. Regional politicians are off the bench and urging their constituents to vote for Lumby and its bid for $100,000 in upgrades to Pat Duke Memorial Arena. “The entire Okanagan region should be voting for Lumby. Not just the Okanagan, but all of B.C.,” said Akbal Mund, Vernon mayor. “All kids involved with winter sports, such as hockey or ringette or figure skating, will participate at some time or another at Pat Duke arena.” Lumby is the only B.C. community among the top 10 finalists for Kraft Hockeyville 2016. Voting opens Sunday at 6 a.m. and closes Monday at 9 p.m. to decide the two finalists. When the voting opens, you can cast your ballot at http://khv2016.ca/ The winner will receive an NHL pre-season game and $100,000 in arena upgrades. Second prize is $100,000 in arena upgrades, while the remaining eight arenas each will get $25,000 in arena upgrades. “Lumby definitely deserves it and their arena needs the upgrade,” said Greg McCune, Enderby mayor. “I highly encourage people to be camped out at their computers and vote for Lumby.” Rallying behind Lumby is Armstrong, which won the Kraft Celebration Tour in 2011 and a $25,000 upgrade to Hassen

Arena and a TSN broadcast. “I absolutely support them and I will be voting for them,” said Chris Pieper, Armstrong mayor. Pieper says Armstrong residents have never forgotten how other communities backed their effort in 2011. “It was a tremendous opportunity for the entire community and we had support from the entire region and from across B.C.,” he said.

“I really urge everyone in the North Okanagan to get on board with Lumby.” The Regional District of North Okanagan wants residents from all six municipalities and five electoral areas to vote Sunday and Monday. “We expect everyone to get behind this,” said Rick Fairbairn, board chairperson and rural Lumby director. RDNO operates Pat Duke for residents of Lumby, Cherryville, Whitevale, Trinity

Valley, Mabel Lake and Creighton Valley. “It’s a community-wide facility and we are very proud that we can provide it,” said Fairbairn. To encourage people to vote, there will be a tailgate party and road hockey game at Lumby’s Arbour Park Sunday at 9 a.m. And people who may not have access to a computer, can vote at the Lumby Chamber of Commerce office from 6 a.m. Sunday to 9 p.m. Monday.

Weather to decide fate of snowpack RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s lots of white stuff in the hills but that may not translate into lots of water this summer in Greater Vernon. The B.C. River Forecast Centre reports there is above normal snowpack in the region, but there is also the possibility that weather patterns could impact snow levels. “It’s still too early,” said Dale

McTaggart, the Regional District of North Okanagan’s general manager of engineering. Among the factors that could impact snowfall and water supply are a dry spring and summer and a rapid melt. “There are a lot of variables,” said McTaggart. The B.C. River Forecast Centre suggests there could be warmer than normal McTaggart spring temperatures.

“That could result in an early start to the irrigation system and an increase in water demands,” states a GVW release. “GVW will continue to monitor reservoir levels, snowpack and climate forecasts weekly to determine whether a change in restriction stage is warranted.” A testing site upstream of Grizzly Reservoir has a snow depth of about 70 centimetres while a site in the same area is at about 55 centimetres. The snow depth near Edwin Lake is at about 60 centimetres.

Big changes are planned for the 14th annual Relay For Life in Vernon. The Canadian Cancer Society has launched a new model for the June 11 event which raises funds for research and prevention. “We’ve heard the feedback from the community, including our dedicated and passionate volunteers that the event needs to change,” said Lori Stevenson, with the Canadian Cancer Society. The process started last year with the shift from an overnight to daytime event, and the society is now introducing a new six-hour event schedule. “We’ve heard from individuals, families and businesses that the 12-hour duration makes it difficult for them to participate,” said Stevenson. This year’s event will be at the Greater Vernon Athletic Park from 4:30 to 10:30 p.m. This year’s theme is “Wild West – Saddle Up For the Fight” and will feature a chili cook-off that will provide dinner by donation to participants. Registration will open at 3:30 p.m., with opening ceremonies and welcome at 4:30 p.m. The Survivor Celebration lap will be at 4:45 p.m. “Our organizing committee is working very hard to bring Vernon the best event ever,” said Stevenson.

That is expected to be done by this summer. Rails also need to be removed from street crossings along the route, which stretches from Kelowna to Coldstream. The four-metre wide

gravel path to be initially installed is expected to allow for the future installation of an asphalt surface later without a great deal of costly site preparation. That work is expected to start once CN has completed its mitigation work. In addition to the fundraising for development of the trail, the local governments and the OKIB are hoping to

attract federal grants for the project. Open houses will be held Monday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Oyama Community Hall , Wednesday from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Winfield Memorial Hall and Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Coldstream municipal office. Construction is not expected to start before the end of the year.

North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees are under a lot of pressure to make the finances balance, but a decision to hold off potentially closing Armstrong Elementary was the right move. Allowing the consultation process to continue until April 2017 means that all residents of Armstrong-Spallumcheen, as well as municipal and business leaders, can be fully involved in the discussion instead of the very tight window that the previous 60-day process allowed. The other positive aspect is the boss becoming the new U.S. president. board’s decision to establish a task He took the high road, saying he would work force to review demographic inforwith whomever the American people elect as mation, school configurations and president.

A star is born

t seems to me that to make it as a politician these days, you either have to have great hair or a starring role on a reality TV program. Is it just me, or is our current prime minister being treated more like an actor walking the red carpet at the Oscars than a head of state, make that a country? Proof of that was shown in the media frenzy that erupted when Justin Trudeau and his family stepped off the plane in Washington, D.C. – onto a red carpet, no less – for their first official visit to the U.S. Wednesday. It was as if Prince Kristin Froneman Wills and the Duchess of Cambridge had arrived, toting George and Charlotte in their handbags. And you know how much our American neighbours love them royals. Just look how they received Becks and Posh. OK, bad example. Even President Barack Obama pointed out that Trudeau is the first prime minister to be invited to a state dinner in nearly 20 years, with the cutesy line, “It’s about time, eh?” What, did none of our former PMs from the last two decades provide enough witty banter or good table manners? Maybe it had to do with their politics, although I don’t see why George Dubya never had Stephen Harper over for tea before he left office. Well maybe he did, but we never really heard or saw tons of photos about it on the news. So what’s with this love affair with our new PM? Could it be the relentless coverage of how good looking he is? Heck, forget The Atlantic, that new political mag known as Vogue even featured a spread on him. Maybe it’s his aptitude for diplomacy and giving good sound bites, as he did when he spoke about the possibility of The Apprentice

Keep the brick school open

e are writing to express our grave concern regarding the proposed closure of Armstrong Elementary

School. This school was built in 1920 and has been in use since then. When it was built, it was the first consolidated school in B.C., if not the entire west, and came about when the then city council decided to amalgamate the eight rural schools in Armstrong and Spallumcheen into one large school. This amalgamation was made possible by the advent of motorized transport. Boxes were built on truck chassis, benches added and children could then be bused to school. This novel idea of transporting children from rural areas to a central school caught on across the province and became known as the Armstrong plan. The school is in very good condition and was thoroughly renovated and brought up to code, including the installation of an elevator, just before the Armstrong-Spallumcheen School District was amalgamated with the

HEATON PLACE I have been stewing over the article, "Retirement home events questioned," since I read it in The Morning Star Feb. 14. I know a number of residents of Heaton Place who are mobile and active and do go out into the community. Some still walk a lot or others use their scooters or cars. For some of the residents, walking or driving is no longer an option. That's why many of them choose to live in a retirement home which is a small self-contained community. If Heaton Place is bringing in vendors or facilitators to provide residents with information on medical or other products geared to the residents' age group, I say more power to them. If they want to have craft fairs and teas, etc. why not. Don't make the residents venture out in inclement weather or the heat of summer. That's when accidents happen. The residents have free will and you can't make them attend somewhere they don't want to. They are happy. Leave them alone. If the Armstrong Activities

Shuswap School District. It was given heritage designation by the City of Armstrong June 24, 2013 and placed on the city heritage register, as well as both the provincial and federal heritage registers. It does not make sense that the provincial government would officially recognize the historical and heritage value of the school and then allow it to be closed. It is quite possibly the premiere heritage building in the North Okanagan-Shuswap area and most definitely the premiere heritage school in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. It should be preserved and used. The two remaining schools in Armstrong will be at 90 per cent capacity and there is already talk of installing portables. This does not make sense either. Is Armstrong Elementary taking the hit for the entire school district? This is neither fair nor necessary. Jessie Ann Gamble, Dawn Jamieson and Gail Salter, Armstrong Heritage Advisory Committee

Centre is complaining about the lack of attendance, maybe they need to up their game. Competition is healthy and promotes positive changes. Marjorie Hopkins STREET LINES I am a new resident of Vernon. I moved here for the mild climate, beautiful scenery, slower pace of development, friendly people, decent employment rate and recreational opportunities, etc. I love this little city, but I only have one request. Can we please get some lines painted on the roadways? It would be really nice if you could tell where you are actually supposed to be driving. It took me a few months to figure out where the turning lanes, crosswalks, and arrows used to be painted on the roadways. It must be confusing for the tourists. I appreciate the lower tax rates here compared to other cities, but I would be willing to pay more tax so the city could afford paint for the roads. Also, it would be nice to be able to see where the edge of the road is on those dark,

rainy nights. I am willing to get hate mail from people who don't support paying more taxes, but I will trade my hard-earned cash for personal safety any day. If the lines were painted on the roads clearly, it may even help the traffic flow. Cheryl McKenzie SPALLUMCHEEN PROCESS I sincerely thank Spallumcheen council and staff for taking time to consider the electric car plugin for which I lobbied. While their answer is not surprising, it is disappointing. It's obvious Spallumcheen council understands and cares. Their well researched answer is exactly a responsible one, financially speaking. I am part in parcel of comprehending fossil fuel's atmospheric damage conundrum. The Paris resolve is our template. As a worker towards change, I understand well the difficulties encountered for change. I have discovered legislated law is faltering. I also understand today's headlines about anthropogenic-caused climate change were delayed by

Bollywood Bang returns Morning Star Staff

Bollywood is back. Tickets go on sale Saturday for Bollywood Bang, which takes place April 30 and raises funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Upper Room Mission. “Our last event successfully sold out in less than three days and it continues to be one of the most talked about events in Vernon,” said Dalvir Nahal, event director. The 2014 event drew 428 people. This year, Bollywood Bang is being held at the Vernon Recreation Complex and participants will dine on Indian cuisine provided by Dhaliwal Banquet Hall paired with wine from Hillside Winery. There will also be performances by a dance

group from Surrey and a DJ. “Another unique aspect to this fundraiser is that guests have an opportunity to purchase a beautiful East Indian outfit for the event,” said Nahal. Outfits can be tried on and purchased at Lakers Clubhouse (7000 Cummins Rd.) April 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Women’s outfits will range in price from $45 to $60 and men’s outfits are $50 and may be ordered online through bollywoodbang.org. Sunterra Custom Homes is the event’s gold sponsor and other sponsors include Nixon Wenger, Alpine Building Maintenance, Emco, Ensuite Kohler, Nolan’s Pharmacy, Hillside Winery, Sun FM and City Furniture. Tickets for Bollywood Bang are $90 or a table for eight is $720. They can be purchased online at bollywoodbang.org or at the 27th Street Florist, next to Rice Box. For more information, visit www.bollywoodbang.org.

New studies make it clear that the effects of hearing loss have greater implications for your overall health. Studies that have now shown links to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia. Although hearing loss is often associated with aging, Canadians are showing signs of hearing loss in their 30’s and 40’s. Yet few seek professional help. With the association between untreated hearing loss and dementia, scheduling a Hearing Test could be the first step to improving your hearing health - and your long-term quality of life!

Heroic acts earn Decorations for Bravery KEVIN PARNELL Black Press

A trio of emergency personnel from Lake Country as well as three individuals were recognized last week by the governor general of Canada with Decorations for Bravery for their attempts to save the life of a woman whose vehicle plunged into Wood Lake in December 2012. Lake Country RCMP corporal Michael Loerke (retired), Lake Country constable Russell Stene and Lake Country deputy fire chief Brent Penner, along with Cindy Rogers and Kevin Hiebert, of Kelowna, and

Blind Bay resident Donald St. Pierre, were all honoured with Decorations for Bravery from the governor general. All six of them put their own lives on the line on a frozen evening in December 2012 when a Jeep went off the old Highway 97 and into Wood Lake, Brent Penner submerging in freezing water. “Everyone involved worked so hard in

the rescue trying to achieve a successful outcome,” Penner had said about the accident. “I was most impressed by the valiant efforts of passing motorists that stopped to help, with little regard for their own safety.” Stopping at the scene of the accident, Rogers and St. Pierre swam out six metres through the freezing water to reach the jeep and attempt to break its windows. Multiple attempts were made to break the windows of the vehicle which had been submerged in about two metres of water. Hiebert, Loerke, Penner and Stene wrapped ropes around the vehicle to have

it pulled to shore. Once in shallower waters, they were able to pull the victim out, but sadly, she did not survive. “I just thought if someone is in the car I have got to get them out,” said Rogers of the accident. “It was as simple as that. I just think it’s what everyone would do. Faced with that situation again, I would do the same thing.” Rogers had previously been awarded a silver medal for bravery while 11 others who were at the scene were also honoured by the Royal Canadian Humane Association.

Vipers on ropes after 6-2 setback

a shot from the slot 59 seconds into the third period for the Vipers before Tyson Jost finished the scoring on a neat deflection at 4:51. Driscoll, who started Game 2 of the series, had to make only 17 saves as the Vees outshot Vernon 42-19. “It wasn’t our best effort,” said Zandee. “We got away from the little things. We were turning over the

pucks, which was the main problem, made too many mistakes and it cost us.” Penticton goalie Anthony Brodeur, who looked to have suffered a lower body injury late in Game 3, did not dress for the Vees. He’s listed as day-to-day. Nolan Hildebrand was called up to back up Driscoll.

Shortridge was superb in the Vipers’ Game 3 victory, being named first star on the basis of a 43-save performance, including stopping all 26 shots he faced in the middle frame. Odeen Tufto opened the scoring on a breakaway midway through the second period when he snuck behind the Vees defence and beat Brodeur low stick-side. Conway equalized 44 seconds into the third, setting the stage for Jagger Williamson’s game-winner at 12:03 on a backhand past Brodeur. The win snapped a 10-game Vipers losing streak against the Vees dating back to last year’s Interior Conference final, when Penticton won Games 6 and 7, then swept the six regular season games this year, and won the first two games of the series. Vees forward Luke Voltin, who was with the Vipers in last year’s seven-game Interior Conference final loss, said the team kept things simple Wednesday. “The message was we had to play 60 minutes, put the puck in the net and bang some bodies,” said Voltin. “There was nothing new. We knew we had to play harder. There was no panic.” If the Vipers force a sixth game, it would be played in Vernon Saturday. Elsewhere Wednesday, in the Island Division, the Nanaimo Clippers beat the Alberni Valley Bulldogs 3-1 to take a 3-1 series lead. In Langley, the Wenatchee Wild blanked the Rivermen 5-0 to go up 3-1. There was one game Thursday with Cowichan Valley in Powell River where the hometown Kings were looking to wrap up the series in five games. Salmon Arm plays at West Kelowna tonight with the series tied 2-2. The Chilliwack Chiefs swept the Coquitlam Express 4-0.

in Vernon followed by two years of Major Midget in Kelowna and four years in the Western Hockey League with Prince Albert and Prince George. “I am going to have a tough time trying to decide whether I should continue on with my education next year or turn pro,” he said. “A lot depends on whether I get in a physio therapy program next year.” As for the Can West final weekend, Dobrowolski said the Golden Bears did not play their strongest, and when asked if the final series games were similar

to the other ones played against the Huskies during the season, he agreed. “They were pretty tight and pulled away from us in the third period,” Dobrowolski said of Game 2, a contest that the visitors led 1-0 after 20 minutes. Game 1 was quite different as the Golden Bears did not score at all. “We definitely did not play our best hockey in that one,” he said. “I know we played much better in the 3-2 game the following day and we hope to take it all again in Halifax.”

Scott Conway made good on his word, with help from his Penticton Vees teammates. The Penticton native said after a Game 3, 2-1 loss Tuesday to the Vernon Vipers, in their B.C. Hockey League best-of-seven Interior Conference semifinal, that the Vees would show, in Game 4 Wednesday, why they were the best team in the league. Conway opened the scoring 10 minutes into Game 4, Nicholas Jones added two shorthanded goals and the Vees held the Vipers to only 19 shots on goal in cruising to a 6-2 win at Kal Tire Place and a commanding three games to one series lead. Game 5 is Friday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. “I think tonight was a great pushback game,” said Jones, the game’s first star. “Every time we’ve had a loss this year we’ve rebounded well and tonight was a good effort.” After former Vipers forward Damico Hannoun took an interference penalty at 12:12 of the first period, Jones scored his first shorthanded marker 16 seconds later to make it 2-0 Penticton. Owen Sillinger scored just as Hannoun’s penalty expired for a 3-0 Vees lead. Penticton, outshot 15-9 by the Vipers in the first period Tuesday, held the home side to just a single shot on goal in the opening 20 minutes while firing 13 shots at Vernon goalie Andrew Shortridge. “We just came out hard,” said Jones. “We got some breaks and a couple of lucky bounces that we were able to capitalize on.” Easton Brodzinski made it 4-0 Vees 54 seconds into the middle frame before Steven Jandric beat Zach Driscoll at 4:12 to give the Vipers a ray of hope. That ray was dimmed nearly three minutes later as Jones scored

The Vees scored two shorthanded goals and rolled to a 6-2 win to take a commanding three games to one lead in the best-of-seven series. his second shorthanded marker.

EDMONTON - For one former Vernon resident, immediate disappointment is overcome by reflection about what has been accomplished and what lies ahead.

Last weekend, the Golden Bears fell 4-0 Friday and 3-2 Saturday to the Huskies in Saskatoon. After five years playing hock-

Sigal glides to Games gold RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

He knew he’d left everything out on the aptly named Blow Me Down cross-country ski trails in Corner Brook, Nfld. But what Vernon athlete Justin Sigal didn’t know when he crossed the finish line in his second and final race at the Canada Special Olympics Winter Games was that his time was golden. Sigal captured his second medal of the Games by winning gold in the M3 2.5-km classic discipline, crossing the line in 14 minutes, 24.20 seconds to lead a B.C. sweep of the podium (Prince George athletes Josh Pudney and Danny Lafreniere won silver and bronze, respectively). “I was pretty shocked,” said Sigal, 26, who was competing at his first Canada Winter Games. “They weren’t allowing the athletes to look at the results and I didn’t know my time. I know I skied hard and left everything out on the course, but I didn’t know I’d won gold until I got to the ceremonies and they presented

me the medal. “It was amazing.” Sigal had an extra day to prepare for the 2.5-km classic as unseasonably warm +6-degree-weather, rain and heavy winds cancelled the event on its scheduled day, leading hundreds of volunteers to spring into action. The volunteers got shovels and loaded toboggans with snow from the nearby woods surrounding Blow Me Down trails, then shoveled the snow onto the trails so the athletes could compete. Sigal, who used the day off to cheer on B.C. athletes in the indoor sports like curling, speed skating and figure skating, earlier won silver in the M3 five-km classic event. He finished in 30:16.40. Arthur Piche of Manitoba won gold in 29:58.70 while Robbie Lewis of Ontario won silver in 30:27.30. Born with cerebral palsy and cognitive disability, Sigal’s parents put him on skis “as soon as I was able to walk. “I cross-country skied until I was in Grade 6 then I turned to downhill skiing,” said Sigal.

Vernon silver medalist Justin Sigal (right) congratulates third-place finisher Robbie Lewis of ontario following the 5-km classic race at the Canadian Special olympics Winter games in newfoundland. “Once I moved out into my own place, I couldn’t afford downhill skiing so I went back and joined the Special Olympics cross-country team.” Sigal competed in the 2015 B.C. Special Olympics Winter Games where he qualified for nationals. He golfs in the summer and is also part of the Special Olympics bowling program at Lincoln Lanes.

A baker/counter person at Tim Hortons, Sigal was looking forward to showing his medals to his co-workers and friends. He rates the Newfoundland experience a 10 out of 10. “I’d never been there before and the whole trip was amazing,” he said. “The weather was great, it was a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot of new people from across Canada.”

Stars complete perfect Atom season Morning Star Staff

The Pat Duke Memorial Arena in Lumby may get some renos, should it win the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2016. But there is another banner to be added to its rafters, courtesy of the Lumby Atom Stars, who finished a perfect season at 28-0 by winning the Okanagan Valley championship. The Stars outlasted Logan Lake in the final 8-4, exploding for six goals in the final period. In round robin play, the Stars got off to a good start by blanking Princeton 6-0 on Friday afternoon. Saturday morning had the Stars get off to their usual slow start but finding their legs in the secondnd period and getting by

Ashcroft in a spirited affair, 9-0. After 141 minutes of tournament play, the Stars finally gave up a goal against Logan Lake in the third round robin game, a 14-4 win. To finish off the season the coach (who doesn’t want to be named) decided to leave out all names of who scored and got assists from the weekend. It was a team first, teamwork, win and lose as a team attitude all season and it didn’t matter who scored the goals or got assists, it was about working together on a process. The Vernon Corbett Office Plus Midget Kings settled for silver at the Okanagan Valley Midget League house hockey championships in Ashcroft. The North Okanagan Super

League champs fell 6-2 to the strong Kelowna Flyers in Sunday’s championship game. The Flyers put the game away with a pair of empty net goals. Ryley Johnson and Brett Lambert scored for the Kings, while Ethan Huizinga was spectacular in goal for the Kings. Corbett Office opened the valleys against the Flyers, losing 4-2 with Kelowna again sealing the win with an empty net marker. Johnson, set up by Cole Benjaminson, and Lambert, assisted by Johnson, scored for the Kings, who got a solid game in goal from Noah Foufoulas. Vernon bounced back in its second contest, clobbering the host Ashcroft squad 10-0 behind a Sebastian Wenger

hat trick. Benjaminsen had 2+1, Macguire Gilcrhist, Alyssa Racine and Leland Riguedell each had 1+1 while Lambert and Johnson rounded out the scoring. The Kings secured a spot in the final with six unanswered goals in a 6-1 romp over Lillooet. Reid Lawrence and Lambert each had two goals for Corbett Office while singles went to Benjaminsen and Liam Hennig. Noah DeBalinhard had two assists. The Kings would like to thank their head coach Ross Jewell, assistant coaches Ron Racine, Jody Lambert and Brad Shaigec and manager Cheryl Lambert for an excellent season of hockey.

Cotter rink out of contention at Tim Hortons Brier Morning Star Staff

Jim Cotter will look to close out his sixth Brier appearance with a victory. Cotter (2-8) takes on 2014 World Senior Men’s champion Mike Kennedy of New Brunswick in his final roundrobin draw today at the Tim

Hortons Canadian men’s curling championship in Ottawa. Any chance of a first-ever Brier title for Cotter and teammates Ryan Kuhn, Tyrel Griffith and Rick Sawatsky were dashed with a mid-week losing streak that reached six games.

Cotter lost 9-8 to Jamie Koe of the Northwest Territories Thursday afternoon with the teams trading deuces over the last five ends. The day started with an 8-7 loss to Brad Gushue of Newfoundland/ Labrador, who scored one with the hammer in the 10th end.

The B.C. champs fell 7-2 in eight ends Wednesday to Kevin Koe of Alberta in a rematch of the 2014 Brier final in Kamloops. Mike McEwen of Winnipeg scored the final six points in an 8-3 win over Cotter Wednesday night.

Knights take aim at BC. title Morning Star Staff

“We are going to win games and we are going to lose games, but we never quit.” It’s been the North Okanagan Knights’ motto all season long and now, the group of kids from Armstrong to Sicamous is ready to try and win some of the biggest games of their young lives as the squad hosts the B.C. Tier 4 Pee Wee hockey championships in Armstrong and Enderby starting Sunday. “What makes the team exciting is that we have some kids that have played hockey for eight years, and we also have some kids that have only been playing for three years,” said Knights head coach Randy Zbytnuik, who is joined on the bench by assistants Mike McCaig and Dalin Martin. “Being a small association, this is what we are faced with and I’m proud of how well the team has

North Okanagan Knights captains Darius Makse (from left), Tyson McCaig and Jordan Zbytnuik hope to add a provincial championship trophy to go with the one the team won at their home event as they host the B.C. Tier 4 Pee Wee provincial hockey finals starting Sunday in Armstrong and Enderby. worked together and the dedication they’ve shown since the day the team was selected.” The Knights open the seven-team provincials at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre against the East Kootenay champion Fernie Jr. Ghostriders, a team North Okanagan lost 1-0 to earlier this year at a tournament. North Okanagan will play the Prince Rupert Seawolves at 5 p.m. (NorVal) on Monday. They’ll face the Vancouver Thunderbirds at 8 a.m. (Enderby Arena) and Kelowna Jr. Rockets at 5 p.m. (Nor-Val) on Tuesday, the defending champion Langley Eagles Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. (Nor-Val) and wrap up the preliminary

round Thursday against the Vanderhoof Bears at 1:30 p.m. (Enderby). The tournament’s gold-medal game goes Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Enderby. The Knights played in the Okanagan Pee Wee Tier 3 division and had a record of 9-8-1, but won its way into the tournament by sweeping Kelowna in the Okanagan final. The Jr. Rockets and Vancouver Thunderbirds were runners-up in their district playoffs to North Okanagan and Langley, respectively, while Vanderhoof was given a wild card spot after losing the district final to Prince Rupert. “We have a strong defensive core led by our captain, Tyson McCaig,”

said Zbytnuik. “The offence is led by assistant captains Darius Makse and Jordan Zbytnuik. Our team is comprised of solid second-year players Mason Buzzell, Jake Watson and Derek Gilowski and a great core of first-year players. Our goaltender, Ethin Campbell, is solid.” Rounding out the Knights are Adam Zimmerman, Devin Jameson, Grayson Williamson, Jacob Dewitt, Dawson Martin, Andrew Brown, William Puetter, James Walker and Alex Dunnett. The tournament’s welcoming banquet will be held Saturday at the Splatsin First National Cultural Centre in Enderby. The meal is being catered by Cliff ’s

Bistro and “Simon Says,” a sports psychologist/ motivational speaker, will be entertaining all. The public is welcome to attend and tickets may be purchased for $25 from Sam McCaig 250803-1382 or sammccaig5@gmail.com. The opening ceremonies will be held at NorVal after the first game on Sunday at approximately 10:30 a.m. A complete game schedule and up-to-date results will be available on the BC Hockey website – www.bchockey. net – or on the free BC Hockey app. Admission to all games is free and there will be souvenir programs for sale as well as draws and silent auctions to participate in.

Venom vanquish all opponents Morning Star Staff

It was a perfect ringette season for the Vernon Venom. The U12 squad capped off an 18-0 year in the Thompson Okanagan Ringette League by downing the Kelowna Renegades 9-4 in Rutland. Jordan Tung played a strong game to get the win in goal while the offence was led by Aimee Skinner, Makenna Jackson, Sierra Fernley and Kristen Francks with each player scoring twice. Alyssa Patterson had the other goal for the Venom while Jackson, Patterson, Taylor Hewitt, Brianna Visser and Amelia Johnson had assists. The girls’ success this season was due in large part to great coaching by parents Darcy Quiring, Dean Francks, Coralee Hamilton, and former Team B.C. player Kendra Ostafie, who took a year off

playing to coach and mentor the younger girls. The Vernon Storm U12 clinched second place in their last game of TORL ringette league play, beating the Kelowna Flash 9-6. Both teams were aggressive but the speed and checking of Rhys Taylor-Hawes, Astrid Beaty and Miah Cohen stymied the Flash. Alecia Hughes established herself as a top goaltender with a stellar performance in the first half and ultimately assuring the win for the Storm. Chayse Krause got a hat trick and two assists, passing to Sadie Weed for her goal. Sierra Lochhead scored twice and assisted Jasmine Horton’s goal. Kelowna’s attack came on strong in the second half but Shaila Austin answered with two backto-back goals, assisted by Sam Shaw and Katrina Winstanley who were physically tough on the ice.

Parents and grandparents are being urged to take advantage of increased eligibility for the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant. The $1,200 grant from the provincial government helps parents plan and save early for their child’s post-secondary education. “This is a fantastic way for parents in the Shuswap to plan and save for their child’s postsecondary education,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. “No matching or additional contributions are required to Greg Kyllo access the $1,200. Even a small amount of savings in an RESP increases the likelihood that a child will continue their studies after high school.” The government is investing $39 million to extend the grant to eligible children born in 2006. The one-time grant of $1,200 per eligible child will be deposited into a registered education savings plan upon approval of the application. Families have three years to submit an application for the grant when their child becomes eligible.

Fort stages first cattle

t was April 23, 1814. There was a buzz among the grizzled North West Company fur traders who were gathered at Fort Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River. Their company, based in Montreal, had taken possession of the fort from the Pacific Fur Company just a few months before. On the horizon could be seen a sail of the long-awaited ship from London. The arrival of the Isaac Todd not only confirmed the British possession of Fort Astoria and the demise of John Ken Mather Jacob Astor’s Pacific Fur Company. It also meant “the first ship that took any produce of the North West Company’s trade collected on the west side of the Rocky Mountains.” Even more curious to the Chinook Native people who gathered on the shore, for they had seen sailing ships before, were the animals that the Isaac Todd disembarked when it arrived. There were four strange animals with horns that were unlike anything the Chinooks had ever seen. To the North Westers, the two bulls and two heifers were unremarkable. Alexander Henry’s journal recorded the event. “At 6.30 a boat with six men landed two young bulls and two heifers brought from San Francisco.” They were the first cattle to arrive in the Pacific Northwest, the first of countless thousands that would graze on the verdant slopes and valleys of Oregon and Washington and eventually the dry bunch grass plains of the B.C. Interior. From this small beginning, would grow an industry that would become part of the economic foundation of the Pacific Northwest. The “two young bulls and two heifers” that the Isaac Todd had delivered were Spanish “blacks,” the descendants of cattle brought by the Spaniards to Mexico two hundred years before. Whether these first examples of the bovine species survived or were replaced by others purchased in California is unknown. But by 1817, it was recorded that the traders at Fort George, the new name that the British Navy officers aboard the Isaac Todd had given the former Fort Astoria, “about 12 head of cattle, with some pigs and goats imported here from California.” The report went on to note that “their stock does not increase for want of care, the wolves often carrying off goats and pigs.” When the Hudson’s Bay Company governor, George Simpson, visited Fort George in 1824, he found that the cattle herd comprised only 17 head of cattle. This would not do. Simpson was intent on ushering in a new era of efficiency and economy in the Columbia district, one where the individual posts would produce their own vegetables and livestock for consumption. With this in mind, he moved the Hudson’s Bay Company main depot on the Pacific up the

Columbia River, opposite and just upriver from the mouth of the Willamette River, where it was better situated to grow and raise its own produce. Simpson enthused that, at Fort Vancouver, “We selected a beautiful point on the south side … an excellent farm can be made at this place where as much grain and potatoes may be raised as well would feed all the natives of the Columbia and sufficient number of cattle and hogs to supply His Majesty’s Navy with beef and pork.” The cattle industry in the Pacific Northwest had truly begun.

Piano, clarinet player find common ground Donna WeDgeWooD-Maynes Submitted to The Morning Star

In its objective to provide diversity and excellence during the 2015-16 concert series, the North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA) believes it has succeeded with its next performance. The upcoming concert duo of Kornel Wolak and Chris Donnelly will take to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre stage Sunday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m. Armed with a clarinet, a piano and their personable stage presence, Wolak and Donnelly present a remarkable blend of traditional classical and jazz music rarely heard in live performance. Their musical expertise coupled with their humour and personal interaction engage the audience in a very entertaining manner. In short, they make a great team. Fresh from their successful concert tour of eight border states earlier this year, Wolak and Donnelly look forward to their time with the Vernon audience. As Wolak humourously suggests, “come and see the weirdos!” Focusing on the similarities between the genres rather than the differences, clarinetist Wolak and pianist Donnelly entertain, inform and ultimately delight. Their programs include revered classical pieces such as Mozart’s beloved Clarinet Concerto in A Major, Gershwin’s famous Rhapsody

in Blue and Oscar Peterson’s jazz classic Hymn to Freedom, supplemented with brief, light-hearted, descriptive, historical or personal perspectives on the music. Throughout the program, Wolak and Donnelly also showcase their talent as solo artists. Highly praised on two continents for his glorious tone, precise technical control, and musical imagination, Polish-born Wolak began piano lessons at age six and took up the clarinet when he was 12. “I was not forced into music by my parents, both classical musicians. I was encouraged on a regular basis,” he said. Wolak’s successful university studies in Europe won him a scholarship at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, where he earned a master’s in music. He then pursued advanced orchestral studies at the Glenn Gould School of Music in Toronto in the fall of 2005, earning an artist’s diploma. “I was inspired not by individual clarinet players, but by former clarinet teachers,” said Wolak. Canadian-born Donnelly is a Junonominated pianist, composer, and improviser known for his ventures into jazz and classical music, both of which he was trained in from an early age. He acquired his master’s in jazz performance in 2006, and competed in jazz piano competitions in Florida in 2007 and in Britain in 2008. That same year, he released his

debut album, Solo, with Alma Records, which also earned him nominations for Best Recording of the Year and Best Keyboardist of the Year at the 2009 National Jazz Awards. In early 2013, the Wolak-Donnelly Duo celebrated the release of its debut album, Common Ground, with Alma Records. “We were not accepted as soloists for the Atlantic showcase tour in 2011, but it was suggested that since we were both from Toronto, we should get together and find common ground as a duo,” said Wolak, in explanation of the album’s name. Since their first performances in September 2011, Wolak and Donnelly have toured Canada extensively from the East Coast with Debut Atlantic, across the Canadian Prairies with Prairie Debut and the West Coast with Music by the Sea in Bamfield, plus have played in many major festivals and concert series in Ontario. They are also dedicated to working with schools and communities, offering educational performances and workshops. Opening for their anticipated performance is Brent Matterson, a young classical guitarist who participated in the well-received NOYSE concert at the Performing Arts Centre in January. Tickets for the March 20 performance are available at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. More info. is at www.nocca.ca.

Award-winning blues harp player is about to wail in Vernon Kristin FroneMan Morning Star Staff

Local blues fans are about to enter the Doghouse. Blues harpist Harpdog Brown – yes, that’s his real name as can be attested on his passport – is rolling into Vernon with his Travelin’ Blues Show to perform at the Prestige Hotel ballroom Saturday, March 19. “The Travelin’ Blues Show is a one-ofa-kind show that showcases authentic early electric blues. It’s kinda like when rural blues came to the big city,” said Harpdog, calling from his Vancouver home. “I look forward in bringing this new show to the good people in Vernon.” A familiar face to blues fans here, Harpdog has performed at both the Vernon Jazz Club and at the Winter Carnival Blues Festival, and

is known as one of the finest blues wailers on harmonica. In fact, he is one of the few Canadian musicians to win back-to-back awards at the Toronto Blues Society’s Maple Blues Awards - a feat he accomplished when he won Harmonica Player of the Year in tom Knight Photo 2014 and 2015. Two-time Maple Blues The announcewinner Harpdog Brown ment of that most recent award came blows a mighty fine unexpectedly, said wind on his harmonica. Harpdog. “It woke me up from a nap,” laughed the

Edmonton-born musician. “Someone sent me a text and said ‘you won’.’’ The album that delivered Harpdog his first Maple Blues award was What It Is, which Roots Music Report listed as its Top 100 Blues Albums of 2014. The album, along with two if its songs, Whiskey Bottle and In My Younger Days, also made it onto blues and roots charts. Being noticed for his recordings is nothing new to Harpdog. Back in 1995, his debut album, Home is Where The Harp Is, won the coveted Muddy Award for the Best North West Blues Release from the Cascade Blues Association in Portland, Ore. It was, and still is, the first time a Canadian artist has won this award. The album also received a Juno nomination for the Best Blues Release in Canada.

Harpdog is hoping for the same success with his next album, which he is currently recording with producer/musician Little Victor Mac in California. The album has a very special guest on it in the form of American electric blues harmonica player Charlie Musslewhite. “There’s lots of new stuff on the go,” said Harpdog. “We just recorded some tracks in San José and then returned back home March 2 before playing on the island.” Joining Harpdog and his band at the Prestige Ballroom will be local guitarist/ recording artist Les Copeland. Doors to the March 19 show open at 7 p.m. with music starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at the Bourbon Street Bar and Grill in the Prestige, East Side Liquor Company and 30th Avenue Pawn shop.

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

on Zootopia. So Fenin, what did you think of it? FENIN: I really liked the whole movie. It really made me laugh. My favourite character was the fox, Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman). He was so sly and funny. HOWE: But what about the bunny? FENIN: She is a good actress. HOWE: Really? FENIN: Ha ha. HOWE: I must admit that I wasn’t really looking forward to this, maybe because I am looking forward to watching Life of Pets a little more. Zootopia surprised me, though. I found it very entertaining and in an animated movie that is sometimes a little difficult to always pull off. It has all the key

parts: It pulls at the heartstrings, has lots of laughs and a good storyline. TAYLOR: I enjoyed how the main character was a discriminated against bunny rabbit, who was the only bunny on the force (really, the only female on the force). I further liked how the mystery

the police were trying to solve was why certain predatory animals were reverting to their savage past, after living in peace all these years (call it radicalism). Then, on top of the dichotomy created by “good” animals and “terrorist” animals stirred up a fear to control the population,

Zootopia is a film about people in the world today disguised as a film about animals. Kids won’t get all that, but they’ll remember it and understand it later. They’ll also like it. I liked it, so did my wife. FENIN: Oh Dad, don’t forget about the

sloths. HOWE: How could I? They were fantastic; probably the funniest part of the film. – Fenin gives Zootopia 4 police officers out of 5. – Howe gives it 4 train rides out of 5. – Taylor gives it 4 all seeing eyes out of 5.

Time is on his side Pete Yorn: Arranging Time

n his sixth album, Arranging Time, acoustic rocker Pete Yorn stretches his songs out to fill the gap left by REM and the late Jeff Buckley. Yorn’s music is subtle and cinematic. He probably could have time travelled to the early-1960s and written songs about the end of summer, using Dean Gordon-Smith instruments like theremins and baritone guitars. The release of Arranging Time comes after a six-year recording break for Yorn, but the record is image laden and focussed, a haven for dreamers and those who love melodic folk-rock. That’s not saying that Yorn is a folkie. His music is acoustic based and spacious. It’s framed in a folk context and brings in the sounds and progressions from pop, psychedelia and California country rock. The album has a sonority, and its tone is as important as the songs. Summer Was a Day and Lost Weekend both have a harmonic chime, redolent of Malibu, but the with dark elements of empty resorts on the Jersey shore. It’s atmospheric stuff. Yorn’s collection of songs is an

Acoustic rocker Pete Yorn has released his first record in six years. updating of the singer/songwriter/ band leader theme except that he’s all three of those and most of the band as well. He carries the weight well as Arranging Time is a deep record. He doesn’t do the Lenny Kravitz Svengali role, but produces songs that recall The Jayhawks and Tom Petty. Yorn’s vocal is intense and conversational and gives the music a sense of belonging, making it easier to be pulled into the sounds. Arranging Time isn’t an edgy record and the sense of exploration in the themes and arrangements give the songs resonance.

Project issues design challenge The Tiny house project looks for support to move into the next stage Conributed

Following the launch of the Tiny Home Initiative Feb. 7, the First Nations Friendship Centre Society is promoting a design challenge for the tiny home raffle. In the interest of providing low-cost housing for youth at risk, we are proposing the construction of a transportable tiny home to be raffled off as a fundraising initiative on behalf of the First Nations Friendship Centre (FNFC). The project will raise the urgency of providing housing for those facing barriers. It is a precursor to the concept of developing a 20-unit tiny home community. The FNFC envisions a small Vernon co-housing community that is made up of 20 tiny homes providing housing for youth ages 19 to 29 facing barriers to affordable housing, have low income and are at risk of being homeless. The co-housing facility would feature a common kitchen and recreation area and be used to serve the common needs of the community, group meals and social sharing. This model for housing has transpired over many years in Scandinavian countries since the early ‘60s and is similar to the community heritage and principals of aboriginal colonies historically. This vision is a continuation of the successful Kekuli Centre Apartments owned and operated by the FNFC over the past 12 years and focusing on at-risk youth facing barriers to acquiring affordable housing.

Tiny house design challenge team Chris Dranchuk (left), BTR Construction; Olav Felgendreher, Pacific Timberworks; Matt Lunde, 925RDesign; Barry McDougall, FNFC Kekuli Apartments manager; and Wilfe Lunde, Lunde Architects, discuss plans for the project. Vernon is facing a lowincome housing crisis, a situation many other communities experience across Canada. The need facing the FNFC is to increase the focus on developing housing capacity for the marginalized demographic. This initiative will further the mandate of the society to satisfy low-income housing needs. The 20-unit Kekuli complex has, on average, received four to five requests bi-weekly from individuals facing housing crisis. A common phrase from young people asked about their current housing is, “I am couch surfing.” Call of Interest In order to raise awareness of the issue and the concept, FNFC is preparing a call of interest from the public to support the development and construction of one tiny home. The FNFC is seeking interest from agencies, companies

and individuals to donate the materials, funding or expertise needed to construct the tiny house. Preliminary discussions are now under way with a number of agencies and the community as a whole seems to be very supportive of the initiative. The single unit, once completed, would be raffled off for the market price of a tiny house, estimated to be between $30,000 and $50,000. The charitable funds would then be turned back into the development of the co-housing community strategy. Design Challenge In order to launch the initiative, the FNFC is preparing a design challenge to design a tiny home. The challenge is open to the community for any interested individuals, carpenters and architects. The winner will be selected by a panel of architects and professional home builders, and receive a

grand prize, and other prizes for runners up. Those donated in-kind, financial or material contributions and sponsorships, will be able to receive a tax-deductible receipt on request. Your sponsorship and donation to support this initiative would be greatly appreciated. There will be news coverage of the initiative once finalized and before construction, as well as promotions for your company as we award the design challenge winner and participants a number of valuable prizes. Deadline for submissions is April 1. For all of the design specifications, contact Barry McDougall, youth programs manager of the Kekuli Centre Apartments at the First Nations Friendship Centre: 250-306-3275 or kekuli@fnfc. ca or see www.vernonfirstnationsfriendshipcentre.com

There’s a relationship between income and health Kerri Wall Special to The Morning Star

Stork Report

According to a recent report about income-related health inequalities in Canada, on a national level we collectively spend more than $200 billion a year on publicly funded health care. Here in British Columbia our health care is almost 50 per cent of our provincial budget. But despite all this spending, those who are richer enjoy better health and live longer than those who are poor. Our health is most impacted by social determinants — things like stable housing, having a job, access to education and

a steady income can make us healthier. It’s all connected — if you have a job and a steady income, you are more likely to be able to find the resources to improve your education or the education of your children. With an advanced education, you are more likely to have a higher income and be able to afford safe and stable housing. If you have affordable housing, you are less likely to have to choose between buying healthy food and paying the rent and that means you can eat a healthier diet. Health indicators like obesity, smoking rates, and child mortality paint a picture

of two different worlds — the poorest Canadians are challenged by these problems much more than those who are economically advantaged. Universal health care, like we have in Canada, is a cornerstone to a more equitable society in terms of access to health care. We can also help decrease health inequities by investing in affordable housing, improving access to education, and supporting poverty reduction planning programs in our communities. After all, every person matters. Kerri Wall is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.

feature event: cfuw vernon evening speaker series presents lady overlander

he CFUW–Vernon 2016 Evening Speaker Series, “Celebrating BC Women,” presents Lady Overlander, written and performed by Barkerville actor and playwright Danette Boucher, on Tuesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre, 3505-30th Ave., Vernon. The Overlanders were a group of gold seekers who made the trek to B.C. from Winnipeg in 1862, at a time when there were no roads or established trails across what is now Western Canada. Irish immigrant Catherine O’ Hare Schubert was the only female to join the largest official overland party. She travelled with her husband and three small children (a fourth on the way), walking, riding and rafting to Kamloops. The Schuberts tried Lillooet, Quesnel and Cache Creek and then settled in Armstrong in 1884. The Schubert house may be seen at O’Keefe Ranch. Boucher brings her considerable expertise and academic knowledge to the role. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see living history. Tickets are $15 each, available at The Bean Scene and at the door. Accommodation is provided by Fairfield Inn and Suites.

Bridge by Phillip Alder UNUSUAL NO-TRUMP SHOWS THE LOW SUITS Benjamin Disraeli, the British prime minister from 1874 to 1880, said, “I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.” We have been looking at the Michaels Cue-Bid. Now let’s move to its poorer cousin, the Unusual NoTrump. If your right-hand opponent opens one of a suit, and you jump to two no-trump, you show at least 5-5 in the two lowestranking unbid suits. This was devised by Al Roth in 1948. The snag with the Unusual No-Trump, especially when the opener bids a major, is that you are fighting with the minors, always having to go one level higher to

outbid the opponents. And if they buy the contract, their declarer will accurately steer through the deal now that your hand is an open book. In today’s deal, though, South plays in three diamonds. What should West lead? South has 11 high-card points, but his minor-suit fit is not good enough to contemplate game unless North has a strong hand, with which he would move over three diamonds. After this auction, the best lead is a trump. West wants to reduce the number of club ruffs South can take in his hand. Here, suppose West leads a weird club five. South wins with dummy’s ace, ruffs a club, and drives

out the heart ace. He wins West’s trump shift in his hand, cashes his high heart, ruffs a heart, ruffs a club, ruffs his last heart, cashes the diamond ace, and plays a spade. South must score dummy’s diamond jack to make his contract. But an initial trump lead defeats the contract.

There is a surprising amount of room inside the cabin, it Zack Spencer feels open and airy, plus the back Looks cargo is very useful, thanks to an The Beetle was the car that started enormous hatch and folding back seats. The origiit all for VW, over six decades ago. The latest nal Beetles were fun and functional and this latest version of this icon is a thoroughly modern vehicle version has both in spades, or hearts, since we with refined driving characteristics and useful were in Vegas! There is only one option package features. What hasn’t changed is the sense of for the Dune; it is a tech package, which includes a whimsy that the shape of the car brings. To try to 16-centimetre screen with navigation, a wonderful capture the dune-bug area of the 60 and 70s, VW Fender sound system and blind spot detection has introduced this slightly more rugged looking system. The Dune starts at $26,990 and the tech version called Dune. The suspension sits 10mm package is an additional $1570. higher than the regular car and the track of the wheels, side-to-side has been widened by 14mm. Drive The wheels are 18-inches and framed by black Our drive left the noisy city of Las Vegas behind cladding around the wheel arches and the bottom and within a half an hour, the Dune was carving Volkswagen used the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas as the backdrop to hold the international launch of the Beetle Dune. The car was sitting on a stand outside the Vdara hotel, gleaming in gold paint and looking tough for a Beetle. At first, the idea of a more rugged Dune version of a Beetle made no sense, why would anyone want a Beetle with a higher ride height, body cladding and flashy exterior details? It was only after a day behind the wheel and finding out the price of the Dune that it started to make sense.

through the Red Rock Canyon and the mountains just outside the city. With unseasonably clear and cool weather, the snowcapped mountains were the perfect backdrops for this latest VeeDub. Even though VW has equipped the Dune with what it calls a “rough road” suspension, this isn’t an off-road vehicle in any way, the added ride height really only showcases the exterior style. The on-road manners of this car are first rate, thanks to an independent suspension and upgraded front sway bar. The handling is refined and the ride is sophisticated. The star of the show is the 1.8L turbocharged engine that pumps out 170hp on regular gasoline and the only transmission in VW’s slick 6-speed automatic. Verdict At first glance, the Dune might seem merely a silly styling exercise but on further inspection, it is an alternative to a regular Beetle and at no extra cost. The Dune is based on the Comfortline Beetle, yet it comes equipped with many additional features for $27,000. The Comfortline would need to be equipped with two additional packages and that would actually bring the price higher than the Dune. So, the Dune doesn’t cost more than a nicely equipped Beetle. After a while the idea sank in. The Beetle is for someone that wants to drive something different and the Dune takes that idea as step forward. The only complaints that I have is the fact that VW Canada, unlike the US division, will not offer a convertible

version of the Dune and there is no manual transmission available. The Dune is fun and practical, so if you like the Beetle, why not gamble on something different. The Lowdown Power: 170hp 1.8L Turbo Fill-up: N/A Sticker price: $26,990 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Ray Pattyson A TRIBUTE TO OUR BROTHER.

Ray was born on a farm in southern Saskatchewan; coming from a large family. He loved life through simple pleasures, chatting with friends and acquaintances and was an avid collector of many treasures. Having Ray for a brother had a big impact on the life of my parents and he has now returned to their care. Lots of love Ray. Sister Mavis, brothers Bob, Percy and families will surely miss you.

TRY A CLASSIFIED AD Anna Mary Kloppenburg 1930 - 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Mary Kloppenburg on Sunday, March 6, 2016 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Mom was born in Fox Valley, SK on October 21, 1930. Coming from Saskatchewan, she had farming in her blood. It was because of this that she met her soon to be husband, Joe Kloppenburg, when he hired her to work on his raspberry farm in Black Mountain in Kelowna. From dairy farming, growing carrots, and then raising thoroughbred horses, mom loved the outdoors. This was only second to her family. Mom cherished her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren, and every occasion where she could spend time with them. Besides her family, mom also loved to travel. She made many trips to the United States, Mexico, and Europe. She loved camping and fishing. One of her favourite places to go was to Terrace to salmon fish on the Skeena River. Mom’s long time passion was playing cards. If you ever dared to play card games with her, you had to be prepared to lose! Mom was predeceased by our dad, Joe Kloppenburg and her infant granddaughter Melanie Rosentreter. Mom leaves a great legacy of 6 children: Mary (Glen) Grywacheski of Armstrong, Linda Rosentreter of Terrace, Gordon (Johanna) Kloppenburg of Revelstoke, Bob (Lorena) Kloppenburg of Enderby, Karen (Dew) Walters of Sorrento, and Anita (Tony) Woronchak of Falkland. She also leaves 17 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; and one great grandchild on the way. Prayers will be held for Anna at 7:00 pm on Sunday, March 13 at St. Joseph’s Church (3335 Patterson Street, Armstrong, BC) with Mass of the Christian Burial to follow on Monday, March 14 at 1:00 pm.

I was born in Canwood, Saskatchewan on May 16th, 1934 and raised in the Pentecostal Church. As an adult, I unapologetically enjoyed the freedom to be me while loving the Lord with all of my heart. The love from my beautiful parents, children, grandchildren, husbands, relatives and friends enriched my life and filled my heart with joy! In my life, I believed we should treat others how we want to be treated. Be happy, kind, love and respect one another, forgive often and easily, be playful, take chances, be silly, laugh out loud, be grateful, smile often, embrace life, travel, create, pray, sing, dance, plant, play, hug, move, eat, rest, breathe and repeat. Know that we are all loved and created equally in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes and you are never alone. Love and take care of yourself. Dream big. Be accountable. Forgive yourself. Be fearless. Go outside. Be present. Listen to music, birds, nature and to each other. Trust that you can find beauty in all things, people and circumstances through God. Give and do for others whenever and wherever you can. Spread good cheer and life will be tickety boo! I believe that my memory will live on in the hearts and minds of those I have loved. I was greeted with open arms on March 5th, 2016 by my son; Rick Bradshaw, my brother; Don Blundell, my husband; Victor Marchbank, my mom; Elsie Blundell, my dad; Reverend Mel Blundell and by my niece; Kelly Fairbanks.

Rose Mary Gutziet, at the age of 84 living in Sicamous, BC. died March 3, 2016 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC after suffering a massive heart attack. Beloved wife of Lawrence Gutziet. Mother of Lorraine, Shirley and Michael and predeceased by her daughter Cathy. Also step-mother to Karen and Larry. Cherished grandmother of Lorena, Cassandra and Nadine and step-grandmother to Ian, Travis, Lisa and Jeremy. Great grandmother to 12 grandchildren. Step-sister of Anna Angle of Kitchener, Ontario, Margaret (Desmond) Yolkowskie of Renfrew, Ontario, Patricia (Paul) Duford of Orleans, Ontario, Evelyn Stofko of Ottawa, Ontario and Jerome (Sandra) Stufko of Eganville, Ontario and predeceased by step-siblings Eva Stofko, Leo Stofko, Edward Stufko, Mark Stufko, Lawrence Stofko, Violet Pasco, Michael Stofko, John Stufko, Cecilia Jolkowski and Frances Searson. Rose was born on May 17, 1931 in Renfrew, Ontario and is predeceased by her parents, Michael Vincent August and Victoria Rose Stofko (nee Bielaski). Rose grew up on a farm in the Ottawa Valley and learned early in life about hard physical work and taking care of her siblings. She was a caring person who put others before herself all of her life. Rose put her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Rose was a wonderful cook and baker and enjoyed making everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite dishes. Over her lifetime she baked countless pies and knit thousands of slippers for her family, friends and charities. Her life evolved around homemaking and her children and husband. Rose was cremated on March 10, 2016. A funeral service will be held at the Sicamous Bible Church on Monday, March 14, 2016 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Sicamous Bible Church, 326 Kappel Street, Sicamous, B.C. V0E 2V0 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence for the family at www.myalternatives.ca
