The poster for the movie Blackway has now been released. The film was shot in the North Okanagan.
They need a large, older-style home that’s so secluded, neighbours won’t hear any screaming. Producer Rick Dugdale and writer/director David Raymond arrived in the North Okanagan Thursday to scout locations for their next film, Nomis. “It’s a psychological thriller similar to Seven. It’s a dark thriller,” Dugdale told The Morning Star. Because of the film’s theme, there is a need to locate a vintage house sitting in the bush or not near any other homes. Rick Dugdale “If you stood on the lawn and looked around, you can’t see anything,” said Jon Summerland, with the Okanagan Film Commission. It’s anticipated filming for Nomis will begin in late August or early September, and while other communities are being scouted, the North Okanagan is the likely choice. “We’ve done it twice here before and in the independent sector, you need comfort with where you are,” said Dugdale. An Enderby native, Dugdale is preparing to unveil Blackway (formerly known as Go with Me) June 10. It was shot in

Enderby, Armstrong, Lumby and Vernon in late 2014. “We will be able to put the band back together,” he said of using the crew from Blackway. “It makes economical sense, which makes it work for us.” Another major factor is the low Canadian dollar makes it cheaper to work here than in the U.S. “The film commission has also been great to deal with. Jon Summerland works hard,” said Dugdale. Four to five lead actors for Nomis will come from Los Angeles. “It will be cast at the same level as Blackway. You’d definitely recognize the talent. Everyone knows who they are,” said Dugdale, without providing further details. Blackway starred Anthony Hopkins, Ray Liotta, Alexander Ludwig and Julia Stiles, and some of them may be back in the North Okanagan for the film’s release. “It will play in the Okanagan and we will have a big spectacle event,” said Dugdale. “We are working out what cast can attend.” This is the first time in the North Okanagan for British-born Raymond, who is best known for The Other Man, Sins and Absence of War. He has been impressed by what he sees and he insists Dugdale is committed to the region. “You hear a passion from him. It seeps into everyone involved. It makes it personal,” said Raymond.

Gold medallist eyes Paralympics ROGER KNOX

Morning Star Staff
urt Minard has already represented and won for Canada in one winter
sport. Now, the Vernon amputee wants to do it again in something completely different. Minard, who won gold playing for Canada’s national amputee hockey team in 2012 at the World Standing Amputee Ice Hockey Championships in Finland, wants to wear the maple leaf in 2018 at the Paralympics in Korea, competing in snowboardcross. “Korea is two years from now, so that’s a possibility,” said Minard, 37, who lost his left hand, amputated at the wrist, in an industrial accident in Invermere in 2008. “I’d love to be in the Paralympics. I feel I have that competitiveness and mental preparedness to get there.” Minard has already impressed national team coaches. Last month, the B.C. Hydro foreman/power line technician made his snowboard cross debut competing at the International Paralympic Committee’s NorAm Cup and World Cup races at Kelowna’s Big White mountain. Minard won gold at the NorAm Cup in snowboard cross and bank slalom. In the world cup events, he finished top-10 in all three, coming sixth and seventh in snowboard cross and sixth in the slalom. This was after getting off a plane from a Caribbean vacation in St. Martin with his partner, former ski racer Heidi Johnson, and breaking his prosthetic in a practice run tumble. “When I won gold (Nor-Am) I came out of the gate with the mindset I just wanted to have fun and put it all out there,” said Minard. “If I won, fantastic. “If I didn’t, it was a good experience. “When I came across the finish line, which was after a huge jump,” I thought to myself ‘you smoked this jump and when I landed and crossed the finish line, I’m think-

Vernon’s Curt Minard negotiates a jump on the way to winning a gold medal at the International Paralympics Committee’s Nor-Am Cup race at Kelowna’s Big White, where he was a double gold medalist.

ing I just won.’ I was pretty proud for the support from Heidi and from people along the way. A lot of people have always been there for me.” After winning gold with the national amputee hockey team, Minard told Heidi he still wanted to compete on a national and global platform. Minard contacted the Paraportion of the Canadian snow-
board program, letting them know he was interested in competing at a high level. The program invited Minard to some camps, including one with the national team at Big White in January. “I went out for half-a-day and ripped it up with those guys and met coach Mark Fawcett,” said Minard. “They invited me out to this event (Nor-Am and World Cup) to try it out. It was an unbelievable experience. I never thought going from the beach to standing on a podium with a gold medal was doable.” It was while living in Invermere – home to world-renowned Panorama Ski Resort – in 2006 that Minard started snowboarding. After his accident, he returned to Panorama in ‘09 and
started doing a lot of snowboarding with his splints. “I was super cautious because my hands were in such bad condition but for two years, that’s all I did,” said Minard. “That’s when I got to be confident as a rider. It was the one happy thing I could do that I didn’t really need my motoring skills to do. I’ve been in Vernon since 2010 and I ride at Silver Star at least 30 times a year.” Johnson has been a big supporter for and of her beau. She gave Minard pep talks before his races in Kelowna, telling him to believe in himself. She talked to an employee at Stussi Sport on Silver Star Road about waxing snowboards and laid down the perfect wax on Minard’s basic powder snowboard to help him win in the Nor-Am Race.
“Curt’s going up against guys who have custom-designed boards and he comes out on his basic board without the proper bindings,” smiled Johnson. “To do this well on basic equipment is kind of funny. “The national team coaches were like, ‘OMG he nailed it’ at the Nor-Ams. They were impressed and came up to me and said ‘what does he want to do? How far is he willing to go?” The answer, said Minard, is the sky’s the limit if you believe in yourself and if you have the physical and mental capacity to achieve that. Next up for Minard is the Sports Experts Speed Nation 2016 at Ski Chantecler in Quebec March 21-26. This is the national championships that gathers the Canadian rising stars in speed disciplines. Minard shares his story around the country with his other gig as a motivational speaker through his company, Limitless Communications Ltd. He hopes to inspire others with disabilities. “I do look at myself as a role model for kids and young adults,” he said. “There’s nothing that stops us from achieving greatness because we have a disability. It’s a mindset. I like to be that voice to inspire.”

Politicians want armoury saved richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Local politicians want to protect a heritage building from the wrecking ball. The Department of National Defence is reviewing future needs for the almost 103-yearold Brigadier M u r p h y Armoury and demolition is a possibility. “I am going Akbal Mund to have a discussion with them,” said Akbal Mund, Vernon mayor. Mund insists there would be a significant loss to Vernon if the armoury was demolished. “There is the heritage value but it could still be used by cadets for their programs,” he said, adding that other community activities could also occur there.
Mund also says that if the option arose, the city could possibly consider taking over the building. The armoury is listed in the Vernon heritage registry adopted by city council in 2000. However, it is not designated as a municipal heritage site by bylaw and the city could not legally prevent demolition from occurring. The armoury opened in September 1913 and was built on land donated by the City of Vernon. Mel Arnold, North OkanaganShuswap MP, is also reviewing the department’s process about the armoury. “It’s a historic building and it’s important that we have some of these buildings around as a reminder for our young people,” said Arnold. “There was a reason for these buildings in our past.” Arnold says there may be a need for the department to consult with the public before any decisions on the armoury are made.

Coldstream firefighters received a report of a vehicle fire at Clerke Road and the highway at 8:24 p.m. “It was a single vehicle that had issues as it was coming up Hospital Hill,” said Dave Sturgeon, fire chief. “The driver pulled over because of smoke and when he popped the hood, the flames started.” The driver then called the fire department for assistance. “The vehicle is a total write-off,” said Sturgeon, adding that the cause is believed to be mechanical. The southbound lanes of Highway 97 were closed as a precaution. “We mostly did that for the safety of our crews, Some motorists don’t understand emergency scenes and they go too fast,” said Sturgeon.

City targets park odour richard rolke Morning Star Staff
Vernon politicians insist a foul odour permeating Polson Park needs to be investigated further. The city has received a letter from the Regional District of North Okanagan stating that the odour is from a nearby commercial property and not RDNO’s septic receiving facility. “I’m not satisfied until the odour is gone and RDNO needs to deal with it,” said Coun. Scott Anderson. While residents and some Scott Anderson city officials point the finger at the septic facility for the odour, RDNO says the smell isn’t sewer but methane. “It is my understanding that the site of the Shops at Polson Park is a former sawmill site and there may be a significant amount of organic matter buried deep on the site,” said Dale McTaggart, RDNO general manager of engineering.
“Organic matter undergoing anaerobic decomposition produces methane gas. The parking lot catch basins may be providing a path of least resistance for the methane gas to migrate.” McTaggart goes on to say that the odour inside the septic treatment facility can be strong but the quantity of material inside the building is limited. “It was rare that there was any odour detected outside of perimeter fence,” he said. “Given the relatively small quantity of odourcausing material at the septage treatment facility, it is unlikely that this odour would be detectable any distance away from the facility.” Coun. Catherine Lord wants some answers. “It may be time for the city to look at it instead of just thinking it’s the septage facility,” she said. “If it’s methane from the old site, I’m not sure what can be done.” Anderson also isn’t sure what can be done to address the problem. “We need to identify the source before we talk about solutions,” he said. Representatives for the Shops at Polson Park did not provide comment.
Community Futures celebrates Morning Star Staff
An organization dedicated to the entrepreneurial spirit has played a significant role in the region. Community Futures North Okanagan has loaned more than $28 million to business owners over three decades. “In 2016, Community Futures celebrates 30 years of service and the organization Norm Metcalf remains very well positioned to continue to build on the successes of our past,” said Norm Metcalf, general
manager. Services include providing business loans and entrepreneurial training, workshops and support. Community Futures also provides a broad scope of employment assistance through delivery of the WorkBC Employment program and the Employ youth employment program. A total of 40 employees work for the agency. “The success and development of Community Futures must be traced directly to the quality and commitment of our staff,” said Metcalf. “And the leadership and direction from our volunteer board of directors is central in allowing us to achieve such a positive influence in our region.”

A recreational corridor spanning half of the valley is generating a lot of interest. A steady flow of people attended an open house Thursday at the Coldstream municipal office to look at plans for the Okanagan Rail Trail. “I can hardly believe it’s going to happen,” said resident Harvey Gee. “It’s right up there with Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park. It’s a huge asset to the region.” The 49-kilometre abandoned rail corridor was purchased for $22 million by Kelowna, Lake Country and the Greater Vernon partners of Vernon, Coldstream and Areas B and C. Resident Walt Duncan has cycled five recreational areas in Europe. “This will be as good as any. It will be a moneymaker for the region,” he said of tourism. Avid cyclist Kit Johaneson is looking forward to the journey along Kalamalka Lake. “It’s fabulous. This is a flat route and it will be friendly to use,” he said. However, Jacquie Wills, who lives near the corridor, has some reservations. “It’s a wonderful idea but they will have to work out parking for cars,” she said. “I hope B.C. Parks establishes a spot for horses and trailers at Kekuli Bay Provincial Park for the trail.” Planning for the trail is currently underway between the local governments and the Okanagan

Indian Band, which shares a portion of the former track. “We want to make sure we’re cognizant of any concerns and public expectations,” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan chief administrative officer. It’s hoped construction will start in 2017 and the plan is for a four-metre-wide crushed gravel surface, although the trail may be narrower along hillsides. Local jurisdictions will pursue senior government grants for construction but much of the necessary money will come through fundraising by the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative. Brad Clements, with the ORTI, says more than $5 million will be needed for construction and he is confident there is public support. “We have strong commitments already and other groups want to raise money,” he said, adding that fundraising could begin at the end of April. Besides Coldstream, public open houses have been held in Oyama, Winfield and Kelowna. “Most people coming out say this is a great opportunity. People living closer to it have issues such as parking and litter control,” said Andrew Gibbs, City of Kelowna project manager. Gibbs admits that while there have been common concerns, specific issues have arisen in some communities. “In Coldstream, we have heard about horses but we have not heard about horses in Kelowna.”

KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
While the Ministry of Education has increased its funding to B.C. school districts, in the Vernon district that translates to just $8 more per student. District secretarytreasurer Sterling Olson said instead of the expected $63 per student, this lack of additional funding for provincial enrolment growth reduces the per pupil amount by $55 per student for the 2016/17 school year. “This results in a loss of revenue to our school district of approximately $450,000,” he said. “This reduction in funding is in addition to the reduction of funding for administrative savings.” The ministry’s increase in total funding is made up of an additional $62 million to cover costs of the negotiated collective agreement change and a reduction of funding of $25 for administrative (non-classroom) reductions for a net increase of $37 million. “Our district projected a small increase in our September reg-

Input on the budget can be made through the district’s web site at www. sd22.bc.ca until April 4. “There are a number of options that have started to be developed, items commented on in Thought Exchange, on the district web site” said Olson. “They are floated in the spirit that we are transparent and any issue can be considered.” The board will hold several special public meetings to go over the budget, with the first scheduled for April 13 at 7 p.m. Final reading and adoption of the

Back, Neck, and Hip Pain: Catch it Early!
Dr. Elliot Lysyk, DC Arise Chiropractor
Dr. James Mayne, DC
Arise Chiropractor
Dr. Deane Studer, DC Arise Chiropractor
Spinal pain is often noticed weeks, months, and sometimes years after the underlying problem actually began. Pain is like a ringing fire alarm that is triggered once the nerves are adequately irritated, which sometimes takes years. The key lies in identifying what the underlying problem is—what’s causing the pain. There are dozens of tiny spinal joints in your back and neck. They can become misaligned, or subluxated, by all kinds of stressors: poor posture, falls from playground equipment or down stairs, sport tackles, long hours of sitting, car accidents, and even the birthing process (often called “birth trauma,” and for good reason!). Spinal inflammation often begins painlessly and is your body’s attempt to heal the irritation. As the inflammation mounts, and more and more damage is done by the grinding pressure of the misalignment, chemicals are released by the surrounding tissue to irritate the nerves for one important reason—to cause the damaged area to hurt so that you become aware of the problem! Chiropractors are trained in spine, nerve, and joint health. We help by retraining the spine to a more optimal position, freeing nerves and joints of damaging stress so your body can heal properly. If these problems are caught early, years of chronic pain may be avoided. Chiropractor’s often see disillusioned patients who are tired of taking drugs, their tests all clear, and are living in pain not knowing where to turn. Maybe something is causing the problem that can be overcome.

We’re No. 6
f you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you’re happy and you know it, stomp your feet. If you’re happy and you know it, and you really want to show it.... Apparently us Canadians can legitimately sing the above song with gusto as the United Nations released its annual World Happiness Report and we came in a solid No. 6 with a score of 7.404. Now, actually that’s down slightly from the previous year when we came in at No. 5 and a score of 7.427, so we have some work to do, but still a solid Top 10 finish once again. Of course with something as subjective as overall happiness it’s difficult to know what we have to work on, after all how can one judge a collection of people’s Glenn Mitchell happiness let alone a single person’s happiness? The old adage about until you live in someone else’s shoes is very true as we don’t know what’s going on under the surface in our fellow human being’s heads without a lot of empathy, communication and understanding.....and it’s still a crapshoot most days. However, try we must, and there’s something about the mysteries of life remaining intact and therefore wonderful in their own right, despite social media’s attempts to put everything out there and damn the consequences, and there are plenty. Still, likely it’s a worthwhile exercise by the UN and helps paint a picture of our respective lives and compares them giving us some insight to what may work and what may not work in our daily lives. So, here’s how they did it. According to a story in The Province, the study asked 3,000 people from each country to rate their lives on a scale of 10 based on the following categories: gross domestic product per capita, life expectancy, social support, freedom to make life choices, freedom from corruption and generosity.
MITCHELL’S MUSINGS
In other words: wealth, longevity, healthcare, freedom of speech and a stable government count for a lot and are all fairly measurable entities. All stuff that Canada is decent at. Thus the top 10 goes something like this: 1. Denmark - 7.526 2. Switzerland - 7.509 3. Iceland - 7.501 4. Norway - 7.498 5. Finland - 7.413 6. Canada - 7.404 7. Netherlands - 7.339 8. New Zealand - 7.334 9. Australia - 7.313 10 Sweden - 7.291 The good news is we beat the Swedes, who according to Participaction, was always way ahead of us in the fitness category, so there. The report says the top 10 had a commonality in that they are all “small or medium-sized western industrial countries.” The Scandinavian countries come out on top almost as a group, and things like healthcare and social assistance, relative wealth, and I guess a willingness to share with others, whether it’s through taxes or other means, come to mind. There’s also a strong contingent of hockeyplaying countries too, ahem. But unlike hockey, this isn’t a sport that if we just train harder and throw more money at it, we’ll necessarily get better at being happier. However it is an indication that as a nation we’re on the right track when it comes to more than a few things. Certainly we have our challenges, and they are echoed loudly in the media day after day after day, but it’s more likely that the sky isn’t falling than it is and we have plenty to be grateful for. And, in my book, anyway, gratitude is a key to happiness and something that’s not practised near enough in these days of trying to obtain the next great thing, as we toss last month’s next great thing. Here’s to being No. 6, and with a little luck, and gratitude, and maybe even singing, we’ll get back to No. 5 again next year.
It was quite clear from Thursday’s open house in Coldstream that the concept of a recreational corridor along the old Canadian National rail line has significant support. Comments were glowing, particularly because many of the people perusing the plans were individuals who will use the trail — cyclists and hikers. Many of them also touted the economic opportunities as it’s expected tourists will flock to the amenity. However, some concerns arose at the Coldstream session, as well as those in Winfield, Oyama and Kelowna. Chief among them appears to be parking, and that is a legitimate issue for those residents living along or near the route, particularly if the rail trail becomes as popular as expected. The District of Coldstream particularly will have to look at where parking occurs in the Kickwillie Loop/West Kal Road area. Some suggest using the existing Kal Beach parking lot but that’s already a busy spot during the summer. Another topic that arose Thursday in Coldstream was horseback riders possibly using the trail. That means space will be required for trailers. Other issues that have surfaced during the open houses are garbage collection, washroom facilities and restricting access to private property. The great thing about this initiative is there is considerable time for planning and to make sure the trail is developed properly. But those working behind the scenes must continue to be diligent and ensure they are communicating with the public and addressing any outstanding concerns that surface.

he Vernon Snowmobile Association is beginning preparations for our 50th season in 2016-2017. Part of our strategic plan for the area is to establish long-term partnerships with other organizations including government at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. The board of directors of the VSA wishes to acknowledge an important partnership which has helped the VSA tremendously in maintaining the trail systems at Silver Star. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources' wildfire management branch in Vernon has made extensive donations in the last two seasons to the VSA's trail safety and maintenance program. The Vernon Fire Stalkers, the
STEELE SPRINGS I have to drink Steele Springs water and this quibbling over what to call our drinking water (apart from something unprintable) is asinine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, be it government health regulations are a conspiracy or precautionary rules are for sissies. I don’t care. But I do care passionately that people have enough correct information to act how they see fit. Technically speaking, Steele Springs has a water advisory, a meaningless term unless you are on the receiving end of one. Steele Springs water users were advised by the Interior Health Authority not to drink or cook with the water, and to use bottled water. It has been for two years since nitrate concentrations exceeded 10 parts per million, at which point, IHA issued the water advisory and posted the risks to human health from nitrate consumption. That said, the Canadian water quality limit has no safety factor. This means there are no known safe levels of nitrates. Most naturally occurring water has no or barely detectable concentrations of nitrates.
Vernon initial attack crew and the Salmon Arm rappel crew donated the services of 50 firefighters to fall danger trees and even to cut the fallen trees up for firewood at our cabins. This very generous donation has a monetary value of more than $78,000 over the last two seasons. The board of directors wishes to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of these firefighters and the managers and supervisors. The amount of work they put in is priceless to a volunteer run organization such as ours. As we move into our 50th season, we look forward to many more years of partnerships like these to keep Silver Star safe, fun and viable for generations to come. Ben Drodge, president Vernon Snowmobile Association
Levels above three parts per million indicate an unnatural source of pollution, generally human-influenced. Just below 10 ppm is not considered normal. It is simply below the recommended limit. Who should avoid drinking water at or above the Canadian limit for nitrates? It is safe to say everybody. For sure, infants must be given bottled water for formula, pregnant women should completely avoid nitrates, and the elderly shouldn’t drink nitrates, nor should the immune-compromised. People with chronic diseases like diabetes, or those receiving treatment for cancers or other medical conditions are prudent to avoid nitrates, and for the few remaining healthy adults, there is an elevated risk of gastric cancers over time. Still quibbling over what to call unsafe water and who shouldn’t drink it? This is a public health and safety issue, and those of us with unsafe drinking water need to make informed choices. Cathie Price CONSTANT SITUATION There is a saying that will never
die. "Give a fish every day to someone and he will come to depend on it. Show someone how to fish and he will catch his own fish." Yes, the genuine homeless in Vernon deserve to be helped. But how do you deal with the non-genuine, the short of change for a cup of coffee guy or a well rehearsed, therefore well presented story from this kind of person in dire need? Vernon is a nice place to live but this constant situation annoys. Hopefully, the city will address the problem sooner than later. Simon Perron CLOWNING AROUND It was three years ago that I took the plunge and became a Kalamalka Caring Klown. I had decided to give back to our community by cheering people up and helping them laugh. We try to help them forget momentarily the unpleasant things in their lives. This has been a wonderful, lifechanging experience and I want other people to have some of the awesome times that I have shared with fellow clowns. We are therapeutic clowns,
compassionate and understanding who like to dress up in a colourful costume, a big smile and a red nose. It sounds like fun because it is. So, if you have four extra hours a month, please call Doris at 250546-6396 or Beverly at 250-5583516 for details on our upcoming workshop and let the fun times begin. Joan Zimmer HOSPITAL LAUNDRY A 20-year contract for hospital laundry services — how sweet. Good paying jobs, which are scarce in places like Vernon and Nelson, are to be replaced by jobs paying who knows what, under what working conditions in Kelowna. It's no secret that the B.C. Liberals have had it in for organized labour and the public sector unions in particular, but let us not forget those union jobs provide disposable income for the local economy. Do we really want to see more vacant storefronts in Vernon? This is not a move to save health care dollars. It is ideological — another example of the priva-
tization of public services. The 20 year contract says it all. Howard Brown

Tax News
from Dean Chapple at H&R Block Medical expenses can be costly especially if you have to travel for treatment. The good news is that these expenses can often be deductible on your tax return and you may also qualify for the refundable medical credit. The most common deductions are prescription medications. Over the counter purchases are not generally deductible unless they apply to certain qualifying conditions such as incontinence. The cost of dental work, glasses, eye tests, chiropractic, massage therapy treatments, physio, chelation etc. are considered qualifying expenses for medical purposes. If you are unable to receive medical treatment close to home and you travel 40 kms or more one way for Treatment then the cost of travel can be deducted.
Some residents have questioned the funding of the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District’s new administration office.

If you travel 80 kms or more one way the cost of meals and lodging can also be deducted. CRA provides a simplified method for claiming travel expenses which means that you do not need to keep your gas and meal receipts. However, you will need proof that you did actually travel for medical reasons. This can be in the form of a letter from the specialist, appointment Card etc. Come in and see our qualified tax specialists if you have any questions.

The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is defending its financial practises. As part of a process to possibly close Armstrong and Silver Creek elementary schools, the district has been the subject of questions from the public and the media. “The district has an open and transparent budget process. Every year our district — trustees, central staff, schools and all of our partner groups — develop a budget from the funding that we receive from the government,” says a statement. “The preliminary and final budgets are discussed in public, approved in public and are then posted on the district website. Year-end financial statements have been audited by the auditor general of B.C. and have also been posted on the district’s website.” The district insists recent budgets have been developed in anticipation of the end of ministry funding protection. “Because of conser vative budgeting and careful spending, the district has real-

ized surpluses at the end of each year. It is important to note that the board does not budget for surpluses, but the district cannot realize a deficit either,” it states. “These surpluses have been directed back, for the most part, to the capital fund. This is a practice that has occurred in this district for many years and is common practice in many other districts around the province. The question has been asked about why surpluses were not directed back to support schools and programs. Using surplus funds to support programs and services creates a structural deficit. Surplus funds are one-time money that cannot be relied upon in future years to sustain the system. Using surplus funds only means that those funds will need to be reduced in the following year, thus creating an unsustainable system.”
In 2014, trustees voted to proceed with a capital plan, which included upgrades to the operations office, construction of the district education support centre renovations at Carlin Middle-Elementary School and building a new gym at Len Wood Middle School. “At the time, there was $5.7 million in the local capital fund. The balance for the remainder of the projects were to come from the sale of surplus properties from around the district,” states the district. “A new board office replacement building has been planned for at least 15 years with various project plans being reviewed. The new building on school district property serves to combine four different buildings into one, and enables the district to close and sell a number of buildings and properties including South Canoe school, land below Shuswap Middle School, and the former board office.” The district has $2.6 million in property assets which are either currently for sale or pending sale. Any money generated by the sale of these properties will be put towards future school projects at Carlin and in Sicamous, states the district.

Coldstream is hoping to persuade the powers that be to get with the times. Following a discussion on farm assessments, it was determined that the province’s land values are outdated. “If I read this correct, the land values were set in 1984 and haven’t changed since,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane, reading a staff report. “It just seems ridiculous.” Therefore Coldstream is going to send BC Assessment a request to take another look at its numbers. “It seems to me that someone at the provincial level should be deciding that it’s time for a provincial review of the land values,” said Cochrane. Land rates range from $50/acre to $2,400/acre in Coldstream. There are 413 properties with farm assessment within Coldstream, with a net value of $9.1 million. Of those properties, 106 are owned by Coldstream Ranch, with a net value of $3.3 million. Equipment finds new homes Some aging fire fighting vehicles are being put to good use in the North Okanagan.
“The land values were set in 1984.” — Pat Cochrane
Coldstream is donating a 1988 International pumper truck to O’Keefe Ranch and is selling a 1980 International tanker truck to the Interior Provincial Exhibition for $5,125.50. “Fire protection is based out of Armstrong/ Spallumcheen which from previous calls is an estimated 45 minutes away,” said ranch manager Glen Taylor in a letter to council. The ranch has two hydrants but the difficulty is covering the 50 acres of grounds. The ranch currently has a water truck, but it is more than 55 years old and has seen better days. “We are not looking to get into the fire protection business. However, we are looking for a means to deal with wild land grass fires which may pose a threat to the 20 plus buildings we have on site,” said Taylor, who is also a Coldstream councillor, but did not take part in the district’s decision.
Westside crash injures woman A Vernon woman suffered non-lifethreatening injuries following a single-vehicle crash in West Kelowna early Thursday morning. West Kelowna RCMP responded to the crash on Westside Road near Traders Cove shortly after 6:30 a.m. “A grey Nissan Altima was southbound on Westside Road when its driver lost control in a corner, leaving the roadway and coming to rest in a ditch,” said RCMP spokesperson Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. The driver was a 33-year-old Vernon woman who was taken to Kelowna General Hospital for her injuries, which police believe likely occurred due to the vehicle’s air bags being deployed in the crash. The vehicle sustained major front-end damages as a result of the crash and police believe that road conditions were a contributing factor in this crash. Both witnesses and investigators confirmed that the road surface was icy at the time of the crash. “RCMP would like to remind motorists to
slow down and drive to the road and weather conditions,” said O’Donaghey. “At night, the roadways still have
the potential to ice over as the temperature continues to drop below freezing.” If you witnessed this
crash and have not yet spoken to police you are asked to contact the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.

YOU AND THE LAW® WILLS, ESTATES AND SUCCESSION ACT — TWO YEARS LATER How time flies! Two years have passed since BC adopted an entirely new legal framework dealing with wills and estates, which is a good time for a brief review of the not-sonew law. WESA, as it is called, governs all aspects of succession law, including wills, estate administration (probate) and beneficiary designations under benefit plans (pensions, RSPs, TFSAs). What follows are the highlights of WESA.
there need not be any compliance with the formal requirements for a document to be accepted as a will. Even still, it makes considerable sense to have a proper, valid will. One thing that did not change with the coming of WESA was the ability of a spouse or child to contest the terms of a will. Note that this applies only to natural and adopted children only; step-children cannot contest the provisions of a valid will.
Survivorship
New Powers of the Court
In the case of simultaneous deaths before WESA, the younger person was presumed to survive the older. Now, both are deemed to survive the other, which can create some problems. In the case of joint tenancy, the property will be treated as if it was owned as tenants-in-common, possibly resulting in double probate. Proper planning should avoid this risk.
The Court has greater powers to fix what it sees as deficiencies in the testamentary documents of a deceased person. Since British Columbia has moved from a system of strict compliance to one of no compliance, we expect (and are seeing) a considerable increase in estate litigation. Benefit Plans
WESA has both expanded the scope of beneficiary Dying Without a Will designations under benefit If a person dies without a will plans and made consistent (called an intestacy), their the rules applicable to the Ian Hawes estate will be distributed in various types of benefit plans. accordance with the rules set While the designation of a out in WESA.

At 29, Rachael Harder is one of the youngest Members of Parliament. And she feels she still has about six years before she is no longer considered a young adult. The Conservative MP for Lethbridge, the opposition youth critic, was in Vernon Wednesday, a guest of fellow Conservative Mel Arnold, MP for North Okanagan-Shuswap, holding a round table discussion with nine youth delegates from five North Okanagan secondary schools. “I am almost in your generation, I’m not that far ahead,” said Harder to the delegates
from Vernon, Seaton, Fulton, Kalamalka and Charles Bloom (Lumby) secondary schools, as well as the Vernon Community School. “I’m passionate about young people for a number of different reasons. I consider myself in that category, and I’m always asking the question of how do the decisions I make today impact those that have to live with them tomorrow? And that’s you. And I believe you have a ton of potential and ability.” Harder, like Arnold, grew up on a small farm. She started her own business of raising dogs and operating a boarding kennel at age 11 to raise money for her post-secondary

She has degrees in education and in arts and social sciences. “It’s encouraging to see young people getting involved in politics,” said Arnold to the students. “Part of what we’re doing here is to find out what’s important to you, the challenges you’re facing and how we can get you involved because you are the future and you are what happens today.” All of the students, in Grades 9 to 12, are involved in leadership roles in some capacity at their respective schools.

He said one of the things politicians and adults can do is stop dismissing teenagers. “We are not listened to, we are getting brushed off,” said Rogers, who wanted the politicians to hear him and Kyle Ciurka, a Grade 12 Vernon Secondary student, when it came to the topic of student loans. Harder told the group that a student loan is a worthwhile investment and while she loathes debt, she said a student loan and a mortgage are the only two things she’d be willing to take a loan for. “An education is an

investment that will pay off in dividends because I’ll get a great job,” said Harder. “Taking a student loan for the sake of investing in a dream for your future is worthwhile.” However, Ciurka pointed out that student loans are “an incredible risk to take,” particularly if a student doesn’t know what post-secondary or career path to take. “All of us here, we do very well but we’re not sure what we’re going to take (after graduation) so we want to go to university to find out if we like it and that takes student loans to do that,” said Ciurka. “If it doesn’t work out, we’re looking at a huge debt and no job.” Rogers agreed with Ciurka that interaction with the government and universities to make tuition fees cheaper would be a major improvement. “Implementing programs to let people see their path is something we can learn in high school,” said Rogers. Harder was on a tour of B.C. talking with students. The 75-minute stop in Vernon was held at Vernon Secondary’s library.

Mustangs, Knights rule B.C.
Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs capped a dominating week at the B.C. Tier 2 Pee Wee Hockey finals in Fort St. John with a 6-2 win over the North Delta Sundevils in the championship game Thursday night. Vernon went a perfect 7-0, outscoring their opponents 55-11. “The kids were great all week,” said head coach Wes Elliott, who won a B.C. Hockey League provincial championship as a player with the Vernon Lakers in 1988. “Teja and Hammer (goalies Sheldrake and Cayden Hamming) were excellent in goal, and the defence and forwards were solid.” The Vipers got two goals from each of their three lines, coming off the sticks of Steel Quiring, Ronac Chauhan, Jacob Boden, Porter Trevelyan, Zach Funk and Austin Roest. Vernon went 6-0 in the preliminary round, which included an 8-2 win over North Delta and a 5-3 win Thursday morning over Cowichan Valley. The Sundevils had Thursday off before the gold-medal game. “We didn’t have as much gas in the tank as North Delta,” said Elliott. “We fell behind 1-0 after one but we heard the kids talking in the room, saying ‘we’d been here before and not to worry.” Vernon led 3-1 going into the third period. In Golden, the North Okanagan Knights averaged four goals per game through their six
preliminary games at the B.C. Tier 4 Bantam finals. In the gold-medal contest, the Knights needed only two. Goals from Wes Graves and Eli Dwyer, and stellar goaltending from Caedon Bellman, lifted the Knights to a 2-1 win over the Kamloops Blazers in the allOkanagan championship game. Michael Kormany was captain of the Knights. North Okanagan head coach Dave Evans was very excited about his team’s gold medal, considering many players had never played a season of rep hockey. The core group has been playing for about eight years. “This victory was truly a team success with 15 of 17 players scoring goals during the provincials,” said Evans. “The final game was a close battle to the finish with our team getting into penalty trouble late. But with some big shot blocks and saves by Bellmann, we pulled it off.” Tyler Palmer will forever be in the memories of the North Okanagan Pee Wee Knights. Palmer, the goalie for the Fernie Jr. Ghostriders, stopped all 57 North Okanagan shots as the Ghostriders edged the host Knights 1-0 in the B.C. Tier 4 championship final at the Enderby Arena Thursday. Fernie scored the game’s only goal early in the contest on a breakaway, and Palmer made it stick the rest of the way as North Okanagan outshot the Ghostriders 57-13.
“Their goalie simply stood on his head, that’s the way it goes sometimes,” said North Okanagan head coach Randy Zbytnuik. “The kids played exactly the way the coaches wanted them to play.” The Knights advanced to the final with a 4-2 win over the Vanderhoof Bears in the preliminary round’s final game, a victory that also guaranteed Fernie a spot in the gold-medal match. A Vanderhoof tie or win would have put the Bears and Langley Eagles through to the final. “What I’ll remember about this team is the dedication of the kids and parents,” said Zbytnuik. “We stuck to our motto all year of we’re going to win games and lose games but we’re never going to quit. These kids put in a ton of effort and determination.” Fernie defeated the Vancouver Thunderbirds 4-0 in its final round-robin game to earn a spot in the final. The Bears and Eagles were named co-winners of the bronze medal as they had the same amount of wins, points and almost the same goals for total. The Thunderbirds won the tournament’s Fair Play award. They had the least penalty minutes and may have set a provincial tournament record with four ties in the round-robin. It was the first time Enderby and Armstrong hosted a provincial finals tournament in 25 years. “It went really well,” said tournament chairperson Paul Makse. “The B.C. Hockey rep assigned

The teams were so evenly matched. Only five points separated first place from seventh place. Everyone was happy. There were no complaints.” Vernon Home Hardware Centre Vipers settled for the silver medal at the B.C. Tier 2 Midget finals in Prince George. The Aldergrove Bruins scored five unanswered goals to beat the Vipers 5-2 in the gold-medal game. Both teams had been 4-0 entering the final. The teams were tied at 2-2 after the first period and it was the first time in the tournament
the Bruins had faced a challenge offensively and defensively. Tanner Myer had two goals for the Bruins, who scored twice in the second and added an emptynet goal in the third with Vipers goalie Conor Webb on the bench for an extra attacker. Carl Main and Dylan Sedlacek gave the Vipers a 2-0 first-period lead. “The kids played their hearts out,” said Vernon head coach Keith Chase. “Aldergrove showed their strength on the puck and buried a couple of chances. “We pressed hard but couldn’t close the gap. I’m proud of the entire team and how they competed all season.”

Mike Barrajon of Vernon North Okanagan Karate struck gold at the Kelowna Spring Karate Cup. Seije Bott, brothers Joshua and Liam Roffel, Barrajon and his son, Marcus Barrajon, all went in with great focus and determination. Mike Barrajon, who won the gold medal in men’s open free sparring, was determined to apply the techniques he recently learned. “Bad Habits of relying on my speed are hard to break as they kept me in my comfort zone and relying on them had not worked for me in the past,” said Barrajon. “So I decided it was time to apply everything my Sensei Ted Roffel had taught us on technique while training for this competiton. I set a vision of where I wanted my opponent to be for my next move and forced them to move there to come out victorious, “The real win goes out to our Sensei Ted Roffel who dedicates his time and patience to instruct us, many times on an individual and group basis...”

Mitchell Bond of Sovereign Lake Nordic Club competes in the B.C. Cross Country Ski Championships at Whistler.
Bonds big at Whistler Morning Star Staff
Rain and wet conditions were the story of the B.C. cross country ski championships at Whistler’s Olympic facility. The first day of racing was wet and grey, and he rain made for tough conditions for the sprint event, creating very heavy snow, but Vernon’s Sovereign Lake skiers persevered. Making it through to the finals were brothers Dawson Bond and Mitchell Bond, who were the only younger-aged skiers to make the A final in their respective categories, both with sixth-place finishes. Paige Latta was third in her A final while Ian Oliphant grabbed first in the B final. Eric Embleton also cinched a place in the A final, finishing sixth, while teammates Carson Basset and Aidan Andrews took second and fifth, respectively, in their B final. Michelle Metza took second in her B final followed by Samantha Lowen with a sixth-place result. The rain eased for Day 2, and the sun made its way through the cloud, drying out the spirits of participants and spectators, but unfortunately not the snow. Adding to the soggy conditions was a chal-
lenging course for the classic event, with gruelling climbs and steep, technical descents. Again, Sovereign Lake skiers showed their tenacity with more strong finishes, including a second place for Dawson Bond, a first for brother Mitchell, and a first as well for their father, Glenn Bond. Oliphant and master skier Paul Hardy also made it to the podium with third-place finishes. The final day of skiing saw great combined efforts in the three-person relay. Team names like ‘The Soggy Bottom Boys’ and ‘Fifty Shades of Wet’ reflected the overall feeling of the weekend conditions. It was team ‘In-Sync’, with skiers Latta, Clara Hardy and Metza that recorded Sovereign’s best showing with their fifth-place finish in the Junior Women’s event. During the end of season awards ceremony some of Sovereign’s familiar names took home top honour aggregates, including Dawson Bond as the second overall winner in his age group, Mitchell Bond with first and Ian Oliphant with second. Master skier Chris Andrews was also recognized with the second-place aggregate award, stating that it was really just an attendance award, “for showing up at all the races.”

Topsport FC rallied to brush back FC Tropics 4-2 and clinch the Vernon Indoor Soccer League regular-season banner Wednesday night. This bitter rivalry seemed to be the perfect way to end a well-played season. The first half kicked off with end-to-end attacking play being shown from both teams. FC Tropics was first on the scoreboard after a deflected shot beat goalkeeper David Weir. Topsport came back attacking with multiple shots but they failed to hit the target. It went further downhill for Topsport after they conceded a penalty kick. Weir saved the penalty but the 3-15 Tropics finished the rebound making it 2-0. At the start of the second half, Topsport came out appearing a new team. Striker Lendrit Ademi gave Topsport a little hope with a goal making it 2-1. This was just the boost that the Topsport players needed, as they came back and equalized through Quinzy Aarts-Roman. Both teams were pushing to get the go-ahead goal and a Topsport counter attack led to Perez Vermeulen beating two defenders before firing a driven shot past the goalkeeper. It was now looking up for Topsport (13-5). Ademi scored once more, which put the finishing touches on the game. Ademi took the title of the league’s Top Scorer with 32 goals in 13 games. The Young Topsport squad will not be competing in the playoffs as they are heading off to the Netherlands to compete in tournaments.

Coping with Pet Loss For many people a Pet is not just a “Dog” or just a “Cat” but a beloved member of their family. So when they die, whether due to an illness or something traumatic, we can feel a tremendous void. The level of grief will differ from person to person, but can be as intense, as when a person close to us departs. Grieving is a very personal process. It can come on very gradual and intensify over time or it can be intense from the start. There is a full range of emotions that we go through. Initially we may feel denial, anger and guilt then go through a depressive state and eventually gain acceptance. There is no set time for grieving and it could take days, months or even years before we can accept our loss. Seeking others who have lost a pet may help. Don’t let anyone tell you how to feel, and understand your grief is valid. Be tolerant of your emotions. Whatever your grief experience, be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold.

Tourists take photographs of a boat making its way through the gated chambers or locks, while a stop in Merrickville(below) allows travellers to slow down the pace.
From here, keep hugging on to Highway 34 for just a little longer. The pretty town of Perth is just up the road. Green space embraces its 200-year-old storefronts, and rimming one edge is the Tay Canal, a tree-bordered tributary that flows into Lower Rideau Lake.

Tel: 613-267-3955 15 transient, 35 seasonal sites. Southern Section Aside from the occasional detour, Highway 15 connects the remaining eight stations (total of 15 locks). If you’re an angler, you’ll want to catch Newboro, or at least one of its largemouth bass. Though now laid-back, life here wasn’t always so. Building the lock station at this highpoint between Ottawa and Kingston raised a lot of havoc in 1829. More than 300 workers were brought here to blast away the rugged bedrock, and many of them fell ill to the retched Lake Fever, a death-taker that was later diagnosed as malaria. RVing back on Highway 15, veer off at Chaffeys and Davis Locks, head in the other direction to uncover Elgin’s intriguing history or pull into Jones Falls, one of the largest engineering marvels en route. Four locks need to be navigated at this station to conquer the water levels that span eighteen meters. A blacksmith shop, lockmaster’s home, and visitors centre are featured along a self-guided tour, and topping it off is the stone arch dam that supports the powerful force of Sand Lake. This amazing wall of limestone spans 107 metres and is 19.5 metres high. On this final stretch, Highway 15 closely parallels the Rideau. Check out the full services at Seeley’s Bay, picnic at Upper Brewers and listen to the rumble of trains as they whiz above at Kingston Mills. And if you haven’t seen enough scenic sites, hop back into your home on wheels and retrace your treads. The Rideau is riddled with so many rewards you’ll enjoy it just as much the second time around.

ONTARIO - The Rideau Canal, flowing between Kingston and Ottawa, was built as a defensible waterway after the war of 1812. Although never needed for this purpose, it has continued to operate since 1832. Thanks to 47 locks, boats can navigate the varying water elevations by floating up when the tubs are filled, and dropping down when they’re emptied. And beyond every park-like station are birdloving wetlands and sliver-thin canals, some etched out of limestone and others embraced by Canadian Shield. It’s truly an aquatic route of untarnished beauty. But if you’re more of an earth-lover than a water-baby, fear not. RV-ing the Rideau can be equally rewarding. Highway 401, the MacDonald Cartier Freeway, is a main thoroughfare that spans the canal. And branching away from this artery are capillary-like country roads that take RVers to Rideau riches. All you have to do is pack, gas up and go. Northern Section Ottawa, Hartwells and Hog’s Back locks are located within Canada’s capital. Here, you can take in some of the nearby culture or pedal the path that connects these three scenic settings. Black Rapids: Although steamships once plied these waters Ottawa’s International jets are now taking off just 3 km away. If you feel like shacking up with a little comfort, the riverside Monterey Inn that overlooks this station will certainly meet your needs. www.montereyinn.com Highway 43 parallels one side of the Rideau and Highway 16 the other. Both run adjacently from here to Smith Falls. Check out landmarks like the 1860s grist mill in Manotick, the Baxter Conservation area in Kars and Rideau’s oldest church in Burritts Rapids. RV Parks: Rideau River Provincial Park Tel: 613-258-2740 Sandy Mountain Campsite and Golf Course Tel: 613-989-2058 Central Section Off Highway 43 is Merrickville, which offers everything from quaint shops to a first-class history lesson. Take a tour of the 1832 blockhouse and sample the amazing mustards at Mrs. McGarrigle’s Deli. Kilmarnock and Edmonds are next in line, followed closely by Old Slys and Smiths Falls locks. These last two stations are lumped together. At 7.9 metres, it’s the greatest single lift on the canal and is a real must-see, even if you’re not floating in it. Smiths Falls and “Heart of the Rideau” is the largest community on the corridor. The Railway Museum retraces its tracks from the 1800s to 1979. And Heritage House shares the Rideau’s past, the struggles and turmoil of its creator, Col. John By, the devastation and hardship of its Irish immigrant workers and the timeline that led to its success.

Blood analysis focus of business KEVIN PARNELL
Black Press
For most of her life, Lake Country’s Lorraine Andres has been helping horses overcome stress and helping people better understand their animals. Now the mother of four grown children is taking her career in a new direction, something that ultimately will still help animals and people. The owner of the Tranquille Rehabilitition Centre is a certified coach that works with horses and with their owners to overcome difficulties. But over the past year, she been training in a relatively new field in Canada: live blood analysis. And now, Andres has started offering an a proactive approach to health for people and for animals with her new company, Tranquille Technologies. “Live blood analysis is a great and natural way to show people exactly what is going inside of them, to show where the imbalances in their health are,” said Andres, who is training as a certified natural microscopy practitioner. “It just takes one drop of blood from the end of their finger and it goes on a microscopic slide and it will show where the imbalances are in people’s lives. It’s an insight into your future. By being proactive you can avert serious health conditions.” Live blood analysis looks at live red blood cells along with a person’s immune system (white blood cells), the platelets that help your blood to clot (thrombocytes) and the plasma that they are suspended in. Many blood anomalies can be found using the system that remain unseen using traditional techniques. Andres is being trained through Live Blood London. She says the techniques of live blood analysis are not readily used in Canada but very common in Europe and other parts of the world, adding it’s a way for people to be proactive about their health as opposed to running to the doctor to find out what is ailing them.
KEVIN PARNELL/BLACK PRESS
Lorraine Andres points to a slide of blood as she analyzes it at her new company Tranquille Technologies, which is based in Lake Country. “There are things that people can do something about before going to the doctor,” she said. “Typically we see a lack of vitamin B12 or for various reasons there are toxicities in their blood. If we’re starting to see a few indicators that there is something a little more serious, you can take the results to your doctor for further testing. There are a lot of things that people can get the upper hand on and it’s preventative. I can give them some insight or direction with the ultimate goal being to get them healthy.” While Andres will begin her new busi-
ness offering live blood analysis to people, her background in the animal care business has given her insight into animals and how the same technology that analyzes human blood can help diagnose problems in animals. She says she plans to offer the service for animals as well and relates a story of a young maltese dog that lacked energy and had gone through several tests at the vet with no results. During blood analysis, Andres’ testing showed the dog was low in live enzymes (probiotics) and they were able to give a
supplement to the dog, who showed marked improvement the very next day. “Everybody is really dependent on their vet and they absolutely play a critical roll in the overall well-being of our animals but this is a measure a person can take instead of spending thousands of dollars on one test after another,” she said. “If I can pinpoint that there is something wrong and narrow it down to one problem, they can focus on that.” Andres will operate the service as a home-based business in Lake Country and also plans to have an office in Kelowna.
New president for Canada West Ski Areas Association Morning Star Staff

Shop earns certification LISA VANDERVELDE Morning Star Staff
The technicians at Affordable Auto Repairs are national leaders. The Vernon shop is the first in Canada to earn platinum certification from NAPA Excellence Training. “I’m blessed to have a staff that continues to want to learn and advance,” said Chris August, owner and mechanic. Affordable Auto Repairs is a family run business started by August’s father-in-law, Harry Knopf, in 1972 as Harry’s Import Car Centre. August has owned the business for four years
and says his staff has embraced training. “Striving forward on training, European cars tend to lead the way with technology,” said August. “So when a training program with the depth of the NAPA Excellence came along, it was a natural fit.” All three of Affordable Auto Repairs technicians took the training program and passed with 80 per cent or higher and they will continue to keep their training up to date to keep the shop’s platinum certification. They have 12 different scanners and many diagnostic tools for work on a variety of automobile brands.

Voyager RV assists college trades Morning Star Staff
Lake Country’s Voyager RV has donated $30,000 to support the construction of a student space at Okanagan College’s trades training complex in Kelowna. “We jumped at the chance to be part of building a facility that will make students proud and excited to learn their trade,” said Jason Friesen, Voyager’s vicepresident. “I think the college is doing wonderful work to remind people that there are bright futures in the trades. Tradespeople are
vital to so many businesses like ours in the Okanagan and all over the province.” A completely renovated, stateof-the-art 6,302 square-foot RV shop is now in operation. The entire new complex is slated to open doors to students by the end of March and will provide the college with room to train more than 2,600 students each year. “Support from industry and the community has helped make this building a reality,” said Steve Moors, dean of trades and apprenticeship.
Friesen says the demand for RV technicians remains strong. “Every year, we keep adding technicians who have gone through the college’s RV program,” he said. “We’ll be relying on these graduates for our workforce for the future as our business continues to expand.” Voyager RV started in 1984 and it employs 45 to 50 people depending on the season. The Okanagan College Foundation is currently raising $7 million for the trades complex.

customers have also benefited from the Duteau Creek plant,” said Miles. “For example, spring rains can affect water quality by eroding the stream bank in Coldstream Creek which transports this sediment laden water to our intake. When this occurs, the water utility can now switch sources and serve all of Greater Vernon from the Duteau plant or Kalamalka Lake if needed. Since this infrastructure upgrade was completed, Greater Vernon Water customers have avoided eight boil water advisories.” Because they are different water sources, they require different methods of treatment. Dissolved air floatation treatment is used at the Duteau plant to remove colour and natural organic material. “A filtration system is planned for the Duteau plant to further reduce health risks associated with the high organic content of the raw water,” said Miles. Ultraviolet disinfection treatment is used at the Mission Hill water treatment plant, which treats Kalamalka Lake water, to inactivate parasites. “Both treatment plants also use chlorine as a second level of protection against viruses and bacteria,” said Miles.

Armstrong hires trash contractor RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff
The City of Armstrong is going Progressive with residential garbage collection. Progressive Waste Solutions has won the tender to collect residential garbage for three years, starting May 1. The existing contract with the current contractor expires April 30 and since no further renewal options remain for this contract, a tender was issued on Jan. 28. Six companies bid on the tender. Progressive Waste Solutions was the lowest bidder. “We checked their references and everything was positive,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. “They have ample experience in providing curbside collection with existing contracts with Salmon Arm, Vernon, Lumby, Penticton, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos, Surrey, Coquitlam and Nanaimo.” The vote to award the tender to Progressive Waste Solutions was unanimous though councillors Shirley Fowler and Linda Werner were absent from the regular council meeting.
The current monthly per-unit collection charge with the existing contractor is $3.28.
That won’t change with the new tender, and there won’t be any financial impact to
residents until May 1, 2017 except for changes to the regional district landfill fees.

Property crime leads to police alert WATKINMOTORS.COM

A sharp increase in property crime that
spiked last year in Lake Country appears to have decreased in the first few months of this year. But RCMP Sgt. Jayson Lucash says residents need to maintain good habits of locking doors on vehicles and homes and not tempting thieves, who may be in the area cruising for easy targets. “The message still

said. “The numbers have come down. We have dealt with some of them through the court system and the messaging may have got through.” Property crime, theft and mischief in Lake Country saw a sharp increase in 2015 compared to the year before, increasing as much as 60 per cent in yearover-year statistics provided by the RCMP. Lucash said the statistics spiked with a rash of property crime that was associated to suspects from out of town coming through the area and looking for easy targets, as well as a group of local youth who were doing the same thing. In both cases, suspects would cruise for unlocked cars and gain access to things like garage door openers that would allow them into homes, or bank cards with the new tap technology that allowed thieves to commit fraud around town. Another trend saw
homes under construction being hit with break and enters shortly after things like major appliances were delivered. To deal with the break and enters, Lucash says RCMP embarked on an education campaign, distributing pamphlets and news releases and meeting with community groups to urge people to lock up valuables and don’t make your home or business an easy target. “Ninety-nine per cent of the time what it comes down to is people locking their vehicles or not leaving items in their vehicles,” he said. “It’s mostly people surfing for the unlocked doors.” Other stats from the RCMP report point to impaired driving still being an issue on local roads. During the last quarter of 2015 there were 11 individuals issued a 90 day roadside prohibition (fail or refuse). Fourteen individuals were issued a 24 hour driving prohibition for drugs or alcohol while six individuals were charged with driving while impaired.

Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week for many Christians around the world. Easter Sunday, which immediately follows Holy Week, is the great feast day of the Christian liturgical year: on this day the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated. In Canada, there are as many different traditional Easter dishes as there are ethnic peoples! You’ll have time to gather ingredients for the following recipes should you wish to try some. The first is a wonderful rack of lamb with a sweet, herbaceous crust. Lamb is a popular Easter option for many people and this mint-crusted rack of lamb is perfect for the occasion. Secondly, ham is one of the easiest mains to prepare for a large group, as there’s no trussing, stuffing or tricky carving involved. This recipe yields many servings, so freeze any leftovers to toss into pastas, stir-fries and casseroles in the weeks to come. For a change, try the potato dish which combines russets and sweet potatoes and let’s not forget to bake hot cross buns this week. Mint Crusted Rack of Lamb 1 cup fresh mint leaves 2 cloves garlic, sliced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs Salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste 1-1/2 Tbsp. finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons honey 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons rice vinegar 2 teaspoons honey 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 (1-1/4 pound) racks of lamb, trimmed 1 teaspoon vegetable oil Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cook mint leaves in pot of boiling water for about 10 seconds. Transfer mint leaves to bowl of ice water; soak 30 seconds, drain and squeeze dry. Combine blanched mint with garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until fine and crumbly. Transfer mint mixture to a large bowl; stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, set aside. Combine 1/4 cup Dijon mustard and 2 teaspoons honey in a small bowl, set aside. Combine extra-virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt and black pepper in a jar with a lid. Shake vinaigrette vigorously until combined, about 30 seconds. Set vinaigrette aside. Slice 1/2 to 1-inch slits between each bone of the lamb racks to assure the meat roasts evenly. Season each rack with salt and black pepper on all sides. Heat vegetable oil in skillet over high heat. Brown each lamb rack for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer lamb racks to the foil-lined baking sheet. Brush each rack with mustard and honey mixture. Sprinkle mint mixture over the top and sides of each rack.

Hot Cross buns are a staple of Easter breakfast celebrations for many people — Palm Sunday today is the start of Holy Week. Bake in preheated oven until browned on top and medium rare in centre, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centre should read 125 to 130 F (52 to 54 C). Remove from oven and allow lamb to rest 10 minutes before serving, drizzled with honey mustard vinaigrette. Pineapple-glazed Ham 3-1/2 cups (875 mL) pineapple juice 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) packed brown sugar 1 piece (3 inches/8 cm) fresh ginger, peeled and sliced 6.5 kg fully cooked, smoked bone-in ham In saucepan, stir together 2 cups of the pineapple juice, the brown sugar and two-thirds of the ginger; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze is reduced by half and thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 20 minutes. While pineapple glaze is simmering, pour remaining pineapple juice and 1 cup water into roasting pan; sprinkle in remaining ginger. Place ham, fat side up, on greased rack in roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil; roast on bottom rack in 325 F oven until instant-read thermometer inserted in centre reads 130 F, about 4 hours. Uncover ham; peel off and discard outer skin. Trim fat layer to 1⁄4-inch thickness. Using paring knife, diagonally score remaining fat to make diamond pattern on ham. Brush half of the pineapple glaze over ham. Roast, uncovered, in 375 F oven, brushing with remaining glaze several times throughout (reheat glaze to loosen, if necessary), until glaze is caramelized and golden and instant-read thermometer inserted in centre reads 140 F, about 30 minutes. Remove ham to cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

B.C. cadets pack their instruments for tour Morning Star Staff

The B.C. Honour Cadet Band returns to Vernon as part of its annual concert tour around the Southern Interior. The band’s show at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday, March 25 is free to attend.
It’s spring break for most B.C. students, but for some chosen cadets from around the province, March means tour time. The B.C. Honour Cadet Band brings its annual concert tour to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday at 7:30 p.m. Being selected for the spring break honour band is a coveted prize amongst the 1,600 cadet musicians that populate cadet bands in 71 B.C. communities. “This wonderful youth group deserves our support as they travel through southern B.C. on their spring break,” said Norm Crerar, president of the Okanagan Military Tattoo, to be held at Vernon’s Kal Tire Place July 23 and 24. “The Okanagan Military Tattoo strongly supports this concert and these musicians as many of them will be in the tattoo this summer.” Under the direction of Lt. Carl McLean, the honour band is comprised of 50 of the top teenage musicians from the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets selected from across B.C. The young musicians range in age from 14 to 18 years of age and the majority play at a level equivalent to Grade 5/6 of the Royal Conservatory of Music. Many of them play in their community or school band as well as their cadet band. The full concert band is complimented by pipes and drums and will perform popular concert music highlighted by military pomp and ceremony. This year’s theme is music from Hollywood. This a non-ticketed event, and is free to the public to attend. Seating is first come, first served.
Spring into workshops at Caetani centre Theatre guy Gabe Newman and writer Lorna Tureski share their knowledge Morning Star Staff
The Caetani Cultural Centre is presenting two workshops to sharpen your theatrical and writing skills this spring. Vernon’s Gabe Newman and Armstrong’s Lorna Tureski are each presenting a workshop relating to his/ her respective disciplines. On Wednesdays from April 6 to May 25, 10 a.m. to noon, workshop attendees can get more out of their theatre experience with Newman. He is offering what promises to be a fun course on the makings of theatre – good for those interested in what happens behind the scenes and from the audience seat.
“This is not an acting workshop, it’s much, much more,” said Newman, who will offer lectures on theatre history, with practical hands-on projects, answering why we do theatre, how we do it, what the roles are, and how to get involved. An actor, director, and teacher, Newman has a bachelor of fine arts in theatre from the University of Victoria and a master of fine art in interdisciplinary performance from UBC Okanagan. A sessional theatre instructor at UBCO and Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Newman recently performed in The Inspector General with Okanagan College’s Red Dot Players and A House at the End of the Road with Inner Fish Productions in Kelowna and Edmonton. He has also been touring and performing his crazy food-based story exchange performance project, the Social Potluck.
During the summer months and before Halloween, Newman can be seen wandering the streets of Vernon with his Ghost Tours of Vernon. Tureski, in turn, is continuing with her popular Oak Table Sessions writing workshops, aimed at those who would like to integrate writing more deeply into their lives. The series, which runs Tuesdays from March 29 to April 19 and Thursdays from March 31 to April 21, both from 10 a.m. to noon, is for aspiring writers to apply the techniques of fiction to their life stories. “Bring your tales, whoppers, mythical events, birth, death experiences and anything else you might want to get down on paper, or just show up and write from the prompts I will give you. Learn how to breathe life into your stories,” said Tureski. For more information or to register for the workshops, visit www.caetani.ca or call 250-275-1525. Space is limited.

10 Cloverfield lane
fter a young woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has an auto accident, she wakes up in the care of a man (John Goodman) in his underground bunker. The man explains that the world has gone insane and people are dying from a toxic biological weapon. He also says that they can’t open the door for a few years until the air is clean. The young woman isn’t particularly keen on sticking around, but the man insists, for a while. We say, “Sometimes simple is best.” HOWE: When this trailer started making the Taylor and Howe rounds last year, I was pretty excited about it. It had people asking if it was a sequel to Cloverfield. When it was released last week, I tried to avoid hearing or reading anything about it as I wanted the surprise. I can say that the surprise is there, but not what I was expecting. I don’t want to say anything more than that, otherwise I might spoil it. TAYLOR: Ah, the curse of the movie reviewer: You want to tell the people the juicy bits, but you can’t. I think 10 Cloverfield Lane is an accompanying piece to Cloverfield. It could be happening simultaneously with the original film (which, if you have forgotten, was a handheld sci-fi horror film with a giant monster and creepy crawly aliens). The events that unfold at 10 Cloverfield Lane could have happened before or after the events in the original film. Cloverfield was a fun film, but characters spent a lot of time stumbling away from something in the dark. At 10 Cloverfield Lane, we watch three people stew under the bunker’s fluorescent lights. They’ve got their own issues to sort out first, then we’ll go see what’s up outside. HOWE: There is tension in the film. It’s not as much as the movie Room, but you can still feel it just bubbling under the surface, a bit like John Goodman’s character, waiting to snap. I thought he was great, but then again he can play any role it seems, from crazy-calm, to a nut job, to a happy cuddly grandfather figure. All three actors did well. They had to be good as 90 per cent of the film only contains them in a small underground apocalyptic bunker. TAYLOR: They do go outside and there is something going on out there. You probably aren’t going to like it. There isn’t much of it and it’s more mechanical than biological. If anything, the two Cloverfield films are separated by their similarities and the film suffers when it doesn’t feel right. Luckily, this is just a much anticipated denouement, lasting paltry minutes in an escape tale worthy of telling. See 10 Cloverfield Lane if you’re in the mood for something to make you wonder, at least a little bit. – Howe gives 10 Cloverfield Lane 3.5 earrings out of 5. – Taylor gives it 3.5 rolls of duct tape out of 5.

Chapel shares Easter story Morning Star Staff
The Biblical story of Nicodemus and Jesus is about to be reenacted when the Enderby Evangelical Chapel presents the musicaldrama, This is the Way, on Easter Sunday. Penned and directed by Enderby’s Gerty Shipmaker, a 12-member cast dramatizes the story of Nicodemus, a Pharisee who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. As told in John 3:1-10 of the Bible, Nicodemus paid a secret visit to Jesus, and was told that to enter the kingdom of God, one must be born again. Nicodemus became a follower of Christ, and went with Joseph of Arimathaea to take down and embalm the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. Besides the dramatization of Nicodemus and Jesus meeting, This is the Way features the Enderby chapel children’s choir, under the direction of Ruth Anne MacKnee, and includes numerous vocal and instrumental solos. The Enderby Evangelical Chapel is located at 706 Mill Ave. The play takes place Sunday, March 27 at 10:30 a.m.

Comic tours new show Morning Star Staff
Just in time for April Fools’ Day, Calgary comedian Brian Stollery has planned five shows in the Okanagan as part of the recent release of his CD, For Brian Out Loud. He brings his show to Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek April 1. Stollery’s comedy is described as clever, current, fast and hilarious. He has performed on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival and recently travelled to Kuwait and Belfast as a member of Team Canada to entertain the Canadian Armed Forces. Stollery has been performing for more than 20 years at comedy clubs and festivals. He is also a popular corporate comedian, commissioned to create and perform custom shows at special events. His second CD, For Brian Out Loud, has been receiving rave reviews since its release. “Stollery is a mostly clean, quick delivery comic whose interests and topics vary wildly from one short bit to another,” reads a review on theseriouscomedysite.com Visit stollerylive.com for more information.

Younger Onset Dementia (YOD) is defined as dementia occurring in people under the age of 65. This isn’t necessarily Alzheimer’s since there are over a hundred different types of dementia. Causes of YOD can be excessive alcohol consumption, head injuries and stroke. But you can help prevent YOD by educating the brain by learning new skills to keep the brain cells active. If you aren’t doing well with those New Years resolutions you made, try choosing one of them and work on that one. If that resolution involves changing a habit (like cutting out sugar from your diet), keep at it. It takes about 30 days to change a habit. Stick to it and you’11 be a winner. We often hear that we should walk 10,000 steps a day for good health. As with many goals, starting with a lower number is often better. In fact, 7,500 steps is a pretty good goal and equates to what health professionals called “moderate activity”. So get one of those pedometers, and start walking. You’ll be surprised that 7,500 steps is not too hard to achieve. March is Nutrition Month in Canada. The emphasis this year is to make small changes in your eating habits one meal at a time. It could be adding another veggie to your meal or adding fish a couple of times a week. It could be having a good breakfast every day. Whatever it is, choose a goal and stick to it. Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable... our pharmacists are all this and more. We’d be happy to fill your next prescription.

The
Bridge by Phillip Alder IF YOU COUNT, YOU WILL SUCCEED There was a sizeable entry to my latest Christmas Competition. In four hearts, many ducked the first trick, hoping West would not find the club shift. In the real world, that might work, but not in a competition. Only two had the play problem correct: Bob Owens of Slidell, Louisiana, and Paul Simonsen of Vallejo, California. But Simonsen did better on the subsidiary questions to win the first prize of one month’s subscription to www. bridgeforeveryone.com. Owens gets two weeks. This deal from Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New York, is a good defensive lesson.
In a pair event, NorthSouth pushed into four spades. Given the vulnerability, East should have doubled, hoping to go plus 200 and beat everyone making 130 in diamonds. West led the diamond ace and continued with the diamond king. South ruffed, drew trumps, and cashed the clubs, ending in the dummy. Then came a low heart. How should East have analyzed the position? East should have known that West had started with three spades, six diamonds, two clubs and, therefore, only two hearts. Thus declarer had four hearts. So, it could not cost for East to play low. Then, West would have taken the trick, and the contract would have
gone down. However, East won with his heart king. Now, if he had continued with his low heart (or a diamond, conceding a useless ruffand-sluff), the contract would still have failed. But he cashed the heart ace, squashing his partner’s queen. Keep counting.

He is survived by his wife Michelle, son Finlay, parents Ian (Hanna) and Maud, sister Kathy (Gil), nieces Sarah and Maddy, uncles, aunts, cousins, and in-laws.

Remembering Our Loved Ones
Hans Neil Baradoy February 26, 1987 - March 16, 2016
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Hans Neil Baradoy. Hans died unexpectedly at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Born in Canmore, Alberta, Hans was raised in Cochrane, Alberta. In 2008, he moved to Vernon, BC. This city and community were his home. Hans was a big man with a big heart. He was well-known for his gentle and kind demeanour, despite his large, muscular frame and martial arts training. Hans will be dearly missed by his two older siblings, Leif (Victoria, BC) and Ross (Zurich, Switzerland), his father, Alan Alexander Baradoy (Innisfail, Alberta), and his mother, Holly Baxter (Vernon, BC). We will hold a memorial service for Hans on Saturday, March 26, 2016, at 2pm at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon, BC. Arrangements have been entrusted to Vernon Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 0155
Neil was born on May 30th, 1959 in Prince George, BC and saw much of the province before settling in the Lower Mainland and starting his career at BC Hydro. He was a lifelong soccer player, coach and aficionado of the game, always supporting his teams, Arsenal FC and Glasgow Rangers FC. He was more than just a coach for many youth soccer players; Neil was both a mentor and a role model. Neil will be remembered for his infectious spirit, love of life, generosity, kindness, quick sense of humour and that ever present twinkle in his eye.
Information
He loved surfing, skimboarding and playing in the ocean with his family in Maui. Neil could often be seen at lunch time pulling into Starbucks in his red Ford F-150 and ordering his signature “quad tall long pour decaf espresso”. Above everything else Neil was the most loving husband and father. He was always supportive of his wife and son, proudly guiding them to become the shining stars that they are today. Without his father, Finlay wouldn’t be where he is today both academically and with soccer at Thompson Rivers University. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Box 1390 Vernon, BC, V1T 6N7, for either NOYSA or TOFC in support of youth soccer. Neil and family were appreciative of the community support during his illness, not only from Vernon, but Kamloops and his BC Hydro family. Special thanks to those at North Okanagan Hospice and Doctor Jennifer Roger for their kindness and support. A Celebration of Life will be planned and announced via social media “Live, love and laugh. Make every day a holiday and celebrate just living …ALOHA…”

Roughly half a dozen RCMP officers were on Lakeshore Road in Kelowna Wednesday as part of a distracted driving blitz. The blitz was part of a joint campaign between Kelowna RCMP and ICBC to promote the message of leaving phones alone while driving and enforcing the rules on those breaking them. “Our volunteers are counting the drivers they observe violating those laws, and they have signage out here reminding drivers to leave their phones alone,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Then just down the road there are half a dozen enforcement officers enforcing those laws. So if they are ignoring the message and continuing to operate their vehicle while talking on their phone or texting or other things, they’ll get the fine.” The distracted driving fine is $167, and O’Donaghey explained just what constitutes distracted driving. “Just various uses of a cell phone,” he said. “Texting, accepting calls, checking your e-mails, changing a song or even dialling a number.
