It takes a region to help a village. Kevin Acton, Lumby mayor, used Wednesday’s Regional District of North Okanagan board meeting to thank all local communities for supporting the village and its Kraft Hockeyville bid. “There’s been a very impressive showing of support,” he said. “Everyone gave 100 per cent.” According to Acton, the Hockeyville bid reminded his residents that the North Okanagan is a great place to live. “We’re part of something other than a small town.” Voting ended Monday night and the community will now have to wait until Saturday, April 2 to find out if it’s won the Kraft Hockeyville title. “I feel optimistic. I think we did awesome,” said Angie Clowry, who has been leading the troops. Lumby and Saint-Isidore, Que. have automatically won $100,000 each for arena upgrades by being in the final two, and the final voting determines who wins the Hockeyville title and an NHL pre-season game. The winner of Kraft Hockeyville will be announced Saturday and there will be a live broadcast from Lumby during Hockey Night In Canada. Acton is urging all North Okanagan residents to make their way to Lumby for the announcement. A community celebration is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the arena parking lot as Lumby hosts CBC broadcasters. The announcement is expected around 3:45 p.m. “Everyone put a lot into this effort and I hope people will come and celebrate with us,” he said.

Thin resources affecting agriculture RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The provincial government is under pressure to provide sufficient resources for agriculture. The Regional District of North Okanagan is demanding the Ministry of Agriculture fill the vacant regional manager’s position. “We’ve lost some capacity within the ministry,” said director Mike Macnabb, adding that the previous manager attended RDNO’s regional agricultural advisory committee meetings. “He brought information to our committee and it was valuable. We could make decisions without full knowledge.”

Macnabb is also concerned that farmers are experiencing challenges accessing necessary data and assistance because of cutbacks within the ministry. “Producers says it’s a shadow of itself.” Macnabb points out that the provincial government is promoting economic growth in B.C. and agriculture is a strong component of the North Mike Macnabb Okanagan’s economy. “The government wants to bring in billions of dollars through agriculture but how do you do that if the ministry is

not able to provide information?” he said. The ministry says the recruitment process to replace the recently retired Interior regional manager is underway. “The ministry anticipates a successful applicant to be hired this spring. In the meantime, local governments and farmers can contact any of the ministry’s offices or staff for assistance,” it states. “The ministry is also in the process of recruiting a full time agrologist to be based in Vernon.” AgriService B.C. was recently launched by the ministry. It’s a toll-free phone and e-mail service to connect farmers, and agri-businesses with the people and information they need.

District deluged with permits kevin parnell Black Press

A development queue for builders and developers to get proper permits stretches all the way to the middle of May, as Lake Country staff continues to be swamped with building permits. And the district says it has already added more staff this year and more will be added next year as increased development is expected to continue. “It is important to note that business has ebbs and flows where at sometimes during the year we are less busy and at other times more busy,” said planner Paul Dupuis. “It is normal that during the spring and summer we tend to receive more applications as it is prime building time for developers and owners.” The district has developed a five-year capacity plan that looks at growth projections and needs in all areas of the municipal operation. The plan is not a public document and was developed and presented to Lake Country council at an incamera (private) meeting where it was approved by council. But projections of growth point to the need for more employees. “This year we have added an engineering technician to manage the Transportation for Tomorrow Plan, a financial analyst to assist with

Transportation for Tomorrow and additional growth, a seasonal bylaw enforcement officer in addition to the one we already have, and an exhibit clerk for the RCMP department which will free up a member’s time to attend regular duties,” said Alberto De Feo, Lake Country’s chief administrative officer. “The plan will be reviewed annually with each department head.” De Feo added that next year the district will add a planning technician to its staff, as called for in the capacity plan. Lake Country is coming off its busiest year ever for building permits. According to figures released by the municipality, construction investment in the district totalled $68.9 million in 2015, an increase of 36 per cent over 2014. There were 339 permits issued by staff last year, compared to 268 in ‘14.

Board pay reviewed richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There’s the possibility that political pay could come under scrutiny. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has directed staff to provide information on options for conducting a review of board remuneration. “It’s an opportunity to come back and have another look at it,” said director Mike Macnabb. The last review of remuneration was about five or six years ago. The board consists of 14 directors from six municipalities and five electoral areas. Meeting on the move A major gathering of elected officials means the Regional District of North Okanagan board is adjusting its schedule. Because the Southern Interior Local Government Association convention runs from April 19 to 22, the RDNO board meeting April 20 has been moved to April 18 (2 p.m.) so local politicians can attend the conference. Also shifting is the White Valley Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee meeting, which was set for April 21. It will now run April 28.

Room Mission for meals. So in an effort to make a change, Chance has started a petition to get the disability benefit increased from the current $906 to $1,200. “My goal is to see an increase in PWD (persons with disabilities assistance),” she said, adding that anyone can make a petition or sign one. Those interested in joining her efforts can do so at change.org (the link to her petition is online at vernonmorningstar.com). “The majority of people have kids or are elders or are like me who need this,” said Chance. “I know a lot of people who would benefit from this.” She admits, that there are those who abuse the system, but she says that an increase would allow many to get out of some bad situations. “It’s a stepping stone, then they could actually afford to rent a nice place. “That’s huge on the way to recovery.”

Recently, the provincial budget included a small increase for people with disabilities but there was a catch. The $77 per month increase was tied to the cost of a person’s transportation. Inclusion BC is petitioning to bring back the $45 per year bus pass for people with disabilities, eliminate the new $52/month bus pass fee, keep the $77 increase and raise the PWD benefit to $1,200 per month by Oct. 1, 2016. “Having increased by only $120 since 2001, B.C. disability benefit rates of $906/month are among the lowest in the country; yet we live in one of the most expensive provinces,” states Inclusion BC on its petition. “People with disabilities struggle with impossible pressures, including whether to get a bit of extra money to buy food or take the bus. We are falling behind and desperately need a rate increase that reflects the cost of living in B.C.”

Vernon man receives lifetime ban Morning Star Staff

A former Vernon mutual funds salesperson has been given a permanent lifetime ban by the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) for fraud and illegally distributing securities. A BCSC panel found that Robert Bruce Rush advised an investor that she could re-invest her locked-in pension in higher return investments and do so on a tax-free basis. The investor, who was a former client of Rush when he was registered to sell mutual funds, followed his advice and entered into a series of transactions that resulted in her borrowing against her pensions and receiving the cash proceeds. Rush told the investor about certain investments being offered by a third party and offered through an investment company, one of which was a foreign exchange trading account.

The investor agreed to make an investment in a foreign exchange trading account and wrote a cheque for $73,200 to Breakthrough Financial Inc., a company for which Rush was the sole director and officer. The panel found Rush and Breakthrough Financial Inc. committed fraud when Rush told the investor he would forward the funds to the investment company, but he didn’t do this. An investigation revealed the funds were used by Rush to pay personal expenses. The investor received $12,790 as a purported return on her investment, but the rest of the funds have been lost. Rush must pay BCSC $60,410, the amount determined to be the difference between the monies invested and the purported returns to the investor. The panel also ordered that Rush pay an administrative penalty of $200,000.

In 2014, the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada (MFDA) found that Rush – formerly of Sun Life – engaged in securities-related business not pertaining to Sun Life by recommending, referring, selling or facilitating the sale of securities to two Shuswap clients, possibly two other clients and 11 other individuals outside of Sun Life. He was also found to be gainfully employed in an occupation that was not disclosed to and approved by Sun Life, failed to comply with Sun Life’s policies and procedures with respect to engaging in outside business activities and failed to cooperate with an investigation. Rush was permanently prohibited from conducting securities-related business in any capacity while in the employ or associated with any MDFA member. He was fined $90,000 and ordered to pay costs of $10,000 associated with the investigation as well as the hearings.

Kelowna group heads refugee response Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna Community Resources Society has been chosen to lead a refugee response team in Vernon, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Kelowna and Penticton to help refugees settle and integrate into these communities. Provincial funding will be provided in two installments with the first portion delivered immediately and the remainder in the summer when final settlement numbers are known. “These funds will help ensure refugees are supported with the services they need to build new lives in our communities,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA.

“I’m very proud of the concern and welcoming spirit shown to our newcomers by people in the Shuswap.” Supported by the initial $30,000 through the $1-million Refugee Readiness Fund, the refugee response team will identify and prioritize short-term community needs to support a co-ordinated approach to helping refugees. Examples of the work the teams may do include providing links with employers or other labour market opportunities and coordinating community supports. The team will have representatives from the refugee service provider community: settlement organiza-

tions, private sponsors, churches, educators, health-care providers and employers.

The Ministry of Jobs will continue to engage with settlement communities across

the province to ensure they have the capacity to support any incoming refugees.

Tax News

from Dean Chapple at H&R Block Moving expenses can be a big tax deduction. To qualify you must move at least 40kms closer to your new job or 40 kms closer to a new work location with an existing company. Your move must be considered to be a permanent move - not just a job that is a short contract and then you plan to return home. If your move qualifies here are some of the expenses you can claim: Moving van costs, travel & meal costs for yourself and family, cost of selling your home i.e. legal fees and real estate commission among others. You must have all receipts for hotels, moving vans and house sale etc. Receipts for meals and travel are not necessary as CRA provide a simplified calculation for this purpose. Most important is a letter from you employer stating that whether or not you were reimbursed for your move – if “yes” then the $ amount must be stated and also the date you started work.

— Saturday June 25, 2016 —

Moving expenses can also be allowed for self-employed people. Moving expenses can only be deducted against income earned in the new work location, but can be carried forward to be applied to a future year if they cannot all be used in 2015.

— 6:00pm - 10:00pm —

Thief in the night

ue thinks I’ve been stealing her socks. “What would I want with your socks? That makes no sense,” I said. Sure, a lot of her socks are missing, but that doesn’t mean I took them, even though I am the likeliest suspect. After all, it’s just me and her in the house. She would hardly steal her own socks. There must be a reason her socks are disappearing. There have been some robberies in the neighborhood. But usually they steal jewelry or prescription drugs. I haven’t heard about any ring of sock thieves. But it’s not just socks. Other things around the house have gone suddenly missing. Where is my tape measure? It’s not in the Jim Mullen jumble drawer where it belongs. What happened to that fishing hat I bought in Aruba? What about that jar of mango chutney? What happened to that? What does that little key on my keychain open? That’s not really a theft, but it is a mystery. Obviously, someone has a key to our house, sneaks in when we are away and takes random things because he or she has some kind of mental disorder. I’ve heard about things like this before, like people who steal things off clotheslines. Of course, now that I think about it, I think that turned out to be a squirrel or a cat, not a person. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t people out there who would do that. What other possible explanation could there be? Or maybe it’s some sophisticated scam, where people are trying to prove we’re crazy so they can have us declared incompetent and steal our money. Well, the joke’s on them. If we have any money, it must be in the same place where Sue’s socks are because we sure can’t find it. And where is the cat’s toy mouse and that book I bought on caning chairs?

tion in North Korea. Still, I would have liked to finish it. I’m a big admirer of hard work and dedication -- in other people. We searched and searched. I tried a trick my Dad used to ask us when we were little and couldn’t find things. “Where was the last place you saw it?” he’d ask. And we’d think back and sure enough, the last place we saw the basketball was at Gregory Grime’s house down the street and when we went to look, it would be right where we left it. “Where was the last place you saw your socks?” I asked Sue. “On my feet,” she said, and not in a pleasant way. This line of questioning was going to go nowhere. So where does this stuff disappear to? There used to be a show on television called “Unsolved Mysteries.” I told Sue that her missing socks must be one of them. “What other kind of mysteries are there?” she asked. “Solved mysteries aren’t very mysterious. Idiot.” “You’re right,” I said. “But try to remember I’m just human, not a god to be worshipped. You don’t have to kowtow to me all the time and throw rose petals in front of me as I walk. Ignore my glowing aura; try to pretend I’m a normal person, just like one of you.” “Idiot,” she said. “Your blind, awesome love for me won’t help us find your socks,” I replied. And it didn’t. The painters found the socks months later. They moved one of the chests of drawers in our bedroom and found a neat stack of Sue’s folded socks that had fallen down behind it. At long last, I had been cleared of the hateful charge of sock thievery. Still, I think Sue suspects me of knocking the socks off her dresser in the first place and not owning up to it. There was a famous book that said, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Wrong. It means saying, “I’m sorry,” every day, 10 times a day. And that still may not be enough.

The Regional District of North Okanagan board is right to question the Ministry of Agriculture over staffing levels at the local office. And particularly because of the importance of agriculture, not only for putting food on our plates but by creating jobs and helping drive the economy in Vernon and the surrounding rural areas. But achieving the industry’s full potential is challenging if civic leaders, businesses and producers don’t have direct access to relevant advice and information from ministry personnel on the ground. Case in point, no one has been attending RDNO’s agricultural advisory committee meetings since the regional manager retired. “He brought information to our committee and it was valuable. We could make decisions without full knowledge,” said director Mike Macnabb. Obviously it takes time to fill positions, but we would hope the ministry would consider the regional manager’s job a priority, particularly as that individual plays a key role in assisting RDNO and other jurisdictions with long-term land use strategies and economic development initiatives. The ministry has stated that RDNO can contact staff at other ministry offices and while that is true, first-hand knowledge of the region is far more beneficial than what you may receive via e-mail or over the phone. The bottom line is that while the provincial government is focused on liquefied natural gas as an economic panacea, communities in the Okanagan rely on other sectors, including agriculture. Proper resources are required so the industry can continue to move ahead.

Ottawa must take action

n any given day, more than 1,000 boil-water advisories are in effect across the country, many in indigenous communities. Places like Shoal Lake, Grassy Narrows and Neskantaga have been under boil water advisories for decades. Of these, one-third of them are in B.C. Other provinces have a listing of why there are advisories, yet B.C. does not. Currently, in Spallumcheen, the residents of the Hullcar Valley, who use the Hullcar aquifer as their water source by way of private wells, and a water system, Steele Springs, have had an advisory on their water. This advisory is likely due to a very large dairy farm above our water source.

At places above our water source, there is only a couple of feet of sandy soil before there is water. We need some legislation

BRAVO Kudos to Coreen Smith and the music teachers of the Vernon School District for their time and effort spent in producing the 2016 Choral Showcase at the Performing Arts Centre March 2. As proud grandparents, we attended the 4:30 p.m. performance and were amazed at the childrens’ enthusiasm and the caliber of their performance. It was a truly delightful show. This could only happen because of the teachers’ dedication and extra- curricular time spent. The final mass choir, consisting of five elementary schools, plus Seaton’s honour and show choirs, performing We Are The World was a heart-stopper. Many thanks to each music teacher involved throughout the day’s performances. You are giving these children a priceless gift. Barb and Ted Melanson THANK YOU I would like to publicly thank the North Okanagan Optimists Club for giving students of Vernon a chance to go to the Cities Fit For Children Conference in November. As one of the youngest delegates representing the Vernon Community School, I had an amazing time and learned so much about what

from a federal source to protect our most precious commodity. I need to ask you to give these few facts a good read. Ask yourself, why are the gov-

makes a great city for kids and families. Bike routes, public art, more programs and services are just a few things that could make the City of Vernon even a better place to live. While I attended the conference, I took video and interviewed many guests about their experiences. Phyllis Dyck, of the Optimists Club, asked if I could present my video at their club meeting. I enjoyed that experience and was excited to share my passion of making videos. We are very lucky to have the Optimists Club, which continues to support youth in our community. Bowen O'Brien EDUCATION AT RISK Impending school closures are portrayed in the media as school districts having to have balanced budgets and having to avoid deficits by making tough decisions. The real issue is that our school districts are funded by a government that uses a simplistic funding formula based on an arbitrary cost per student while our school districts have to deal with real world issues such as rural areas, varied building configurations and busing. The funding formula that our present Liberal government uses has, on average, cut $614 per student in a public school per year from 2002 to

ernment bodies that are hired to protect our water not doing anything about it? More than 80 per cent of the guidelines for Canadian drinking water quality relating to chemical contaminants provide less protection for public health than in other industrialized nations. Canada is the only G8 country without legally enforceable drinking water quality standards at the national level. We know this to be true. It's time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfils our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water. Carol Mullen

2014. That is $4.2 billion cut from the budget over a 12-year period. At the same time, the increase in our tax dollars that fund private schools is shocking. In 2015, an additional $30 million was allocated to private schools in B.C. At this time, 50 per cent of the funding that private schools receive comes directly from the taxpayers' pocket. That means that your tax dollars subsidize schools to which the rich or ideologically motivated parents (including Premier Christy Clark), send their children. The present provincial government uses simplistic 1980s economic theory when phrases like trickle-down economics, deregulation and privatization swept from the boardrooms of Wall Street into government legislation. This provincial government seems completely uninterested in funding public education. It appears that the government is bent on slowly destroying our once great education system. Could this be in order to clear the way for American-based education management organizations to take over your child's education? For-profit companies manipulate share prices to maximize shareholder value by hiring poorly paid associates to facilitate the dissemination of cloud-based web content provided by corporate partners to your child. What could go wrong? Stephen Gunner

ROAD LINES Cheryl McKenzie’s letter about street lines March 11 is right on. We need street line markings so we can see, day and night, wet and dry, all yearround. That means better paint or better application. Such exists. Take a drive down to Oroville, Wash. Not only do we need better marking in Vernon, we need lines we can see all across the province. My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Chetwynd. It’s bad enough here in Vernon where we know the traffic patterns. Just try driving in a different section of our province when it’s dark and wet. Yes, I agree with Cheryl. We need change. Anyone else think so? Harold Young

How Rotary Supports Local Students The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is one of Rotary’s most respected and valued programs. The program provides short and long term study abroad opportunities for young people between 15 and 19 years of age. Vernon’s Silver Star Rotary, Kalamalka Rotary and Armstrong Rotary currently host students from Sweden, Taiwan and Belgium respectively. Each of the clubs has also sent a local student to live and study in other parts of the world – Finland, Thailand and Korea. “The program is the opportunity of a lifetime for the students who participate each year,” notes Doug Cuthbert, Youth Exchange Chair for Kalamalka Rotary. “The students experience all aspects of life in another country – the culture, language, food, going to school and being a part of a host family or families.” “Silver Star Rotary has been a proud participant in the Rotary Youth Exchange program for over twenty-ﬁve years,” adds Geordie McLennan, Youth Exchange Chair. “In alternate years, Silver Star Rotary sponsors one “inbound” and one “outbound” student. The inbound student comes to Vernon from another part of the world, while an outbound student leaves the Vernon area to live and study in one of 25 participating countries. “Students develop international friendships and learn about and appreciate diﬀerent cultures,” says John Irving, Youth Exchange Chair for Armstrong Rotary. “It’s an experience that provides both personal growth and global understanding.”

Inbound Student:

Having the opportunity to call Thailand home for the last eight months has been a dreamcome true. I live in northeastern Thailand with a host family, which means I have five new siblings who always keep me on my toes! Throughout my year I have walked the streets of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, traveled to countless islands and eaten more Pad Thai than many would consider possible. Living in a 95% Buddhist nation means I get to experience a new religion and traditions, including spending time sitting with monks and visiting a different temple each week. I attend school in my city where I take Thai language courses, Thai cooking and even Thai massage, definitely not a typical school schedule! Learning to speak and read the Thai language was a challenge, but my Thai friends and classmates have been my best, and most patient, teachers.

Thailand is known as “the land of smiles”, and it is absolutely living up to its reputation. I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world, no matter how diﬃcult it is to be 11,500 KM away from my home in Canada, I have a new home now; my swelteringly hot, Thai-speaking, Pad Thai eating home.

Local duo take nationals

Morning Star Staff

A North Okanagan duo continues to stick it to the competition. Vernon’s John Campbell and Tim Smith of Armstrong won their third Canadian Stick Curling Championship, taking the national title by beating out 39 other teams at the Vernon Curling Club. “It’s really great,” said Smith of championship No. 3, won on the duo’s home ice. Smith and Campbell play in the Friday morning competitive senior men’s curling league, and also at the Armstrong Curling Club in the seniors stick league. “We’ve always had a good bunch of people behind us and our club has always

been supportive of us. It’s helped us keep on going.” Campbell and Smith were a perfect 7-0 at the Canadian finals. They also won national championships in 2011 in Maple Ridge and 2014 in St. Albert, Alta. All three medals stayed in the Okanagan-Shuswap as Salmon Arm teams won silver and bronze. Ernie Paetsch and Arnie Haller finished second while the current B.C. champs of Gord Duplisse and Frank Egli took bronze. The consolation round winners was the Vernon duo of Al Wejr and Jack Prokopetz, representing the Vernon Curling Club, to complete a B.C. sweep.

“The event was an overwhelming success,” said spokesperson and competitor Phil Culbert. “There were 40 teams from across Canada who not only enjoyed our great facilities at the Vernon Curling Club but many also took advantage of exploring and discovering our beautiful surroundings and all it has to offer.” There were 18 teams from B.C., 10 from Manitoba, nine from Alberta and three from P.E.I. that competed in the three-day event. The 2017 national championships will be held at the Bluenose Curling Club in New Glasgow, N.S., March 23-26.

Kevin Hill continued his hot streak in Quebec. The Vernon athlete won the Canadian snowboard cross championship at the Sport Chek Speed Nationals Wednesday at Ski Chantecler, an hour outside Montreal. Hill, 29, defeated fellow national team member Chris Robanske of Calgary in the four-man big final. “Today was a great way to finish off my season on top of the podium at Canadian nationals,” said Hill. “Conditions were not ideal, they were john kunicek photo pretty icy, so I made Kevin Hill on the podium at sure I had good nationals in Quebec starts and things turned out well.” Americans finished third and fourth in the big final. Evan Bichon of Prince George won the fourman small final. It’s the second national title for the 2014 Olympian, who placed eighth overall in Sochi, Russia (second in the small final), and first since 2010. Hill entered the national finals off a silver medal finish at a World Cup event in Spain. He pocketed $6,100. He qualified for the top-32 at Chantecler before advancing to the big final by placing topfour in the quarter- and semifinals. “I’m going to take a break now,” laughed Hill, when asked what was next on his calendar. “I’ve been on the road for about six weeks. I hope to go somewhere warm to train and maybe do some surfing.” Hill thanked his sponsors, Rancho Vignola, Silver Star Mountain Resort, Muscle MLK, Oakley and Kessler Snowboards, for their yearlong support. Hill started snowboarding at age 19. He loved the speed and airtime and the thrill of competing. A former world-cailbre BMX racer, Hill does some racing during the off-season with his entire family. He also enjoys cliff jumping, downhill mountain biking, surfing and wakeboarding. Vernon’s Curt Minard is also at Ski Chantecler competing in Para snowboard cross. The former national amputee hockey team World Champion, who lost his left hand, amputated at the wrist, in an industrial accident in Invermere in 2008, made his event debut last month in snowboard cross and bank slalom at the International Paralympic Committee’s NorAm Cup and World Cup races last month at Kelowna’s Big White mountain. Minard won gold at the Nor-Am Cup in snowboard cross and bank slalom. In the World Cup events, he finished top-10 in all three, coming sixth and seventh in two snowboard cross events and sixth in the slalom.

Rylie Marchand picks up Maria (The Babysitter) Demers before taking her down and winning with a straight ankle-lock in MMA grappling at the Fraserview Hall in Vancouver.

Rylie has MMA grit KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

It was a rubber match of sorts with Vernon 14-year-old Rylie Marchand somewhat of an underdog versus 17-year-old Maria (The Babysitter) Demers of Vancouver. Just off winning a recent bronze medal at a world grappling event in California, Demers lost to Marchand in a Gerry Gionco International February Fury card MMA tilt at the Fraserview Hall in Vancouver. Marchand defeated Demers at 4:30 of the scheduled one, five-minute round exhibition with an Achlles Lock. Maria and her 13-year-old sister are MMA stars, Maria has used the Can-Ams to continue a protracted run of medal-grabbing (six gold and three silver) that now includes gold in the Can-Am Advanced women’s Muay Thai division, and silver in men’s MMA. The two previous matches took vastly different turns with Demmers finishing off Marchand in 10 seconds more than a year ago. Marchand levelled the score with an arm bar in round one. “I won this time with a straight ankle-lock in the last 30 seconds of a five-minute round,” said Marchand, a Grade 9 student at Fulton. “I surprised myself getting her with an ankle lock.” Marchand began MMA training at age eight under Raja Kler at Unity Martial Arts Centre in Vernon. “I started going with my little brother Kobe and I liked it right away,” said Marchand. “It was a nice

environment to be in with other kids and it was a fun way to exercise. “It took me awhile to get good at it. A lot of the kids were bigger and older. After my first year, I went in a tournament (Can-Ams at the Richmond Olympic Oval) and won a couple of gold medals. That really got my confidence going.” She trains six days a week after school and attends some higher-calibre Pacific Top Team sessions on occasion. “I believe Raj has done a good job with me. I endeavour to go into a fight really calm, not gangforce. I’m really trustworthy with my techniques.” Kler says Marchand is self-motivated and a breeze to coach. “She does everything pretty well,” said Kler. “She’s got really good striking, especially for her age, and she has a good ground game. She mixes it all up well.” Kler says the coach-athlete relationship is built on mutual respect. “I’ve been coaching her since she was eight so I’m used to being around her; we’re like family.” Marchand will fight in a Can-Am card May 13-15, in Richmond. Kenny Pope of Unity won with a triangle choke 1:17 seconds into the first round of a welterweight scrap against Herbert Moon of Nanaimo at the Fraserview event. Okanagan Garden Supplies sponsored travel expenses for Marchand and Pope. Unity was founded in 2005 by Raja Lee to provide high quality instruction in MMA, kickboxing and grappling.

Retreat provides focus on grief Morning Star Staff

The funeral is over. The flowers have faded. The tears keep coming. Friends are thinking you should be over it or offering to set you up on dates. The tears keep coming. What comes next? Where do you go from here? Answers to these and other questions may be found at an upcoming retreat in Vernon April 29 to 30. For the past 19 years, New Hope for Widow/ers has held this annual retreat to provide support, encouragement and educational workshops to bereaved widows and widowers. This year, the two-day retreat will be held at Emmanuel Fellowship Baptist Church, 3412 – 15th Ave. “This retreat is a valuable time to gain knowledge and understanding of the grief process as well as a way to be encouraged and strengthened through common shared experiences,” said Karen Bouchard, with New Hope. “New Hope’s unique characteristic is that having experienced widowhood themselves, members and volunteers are able to offer empathy and care to those

who are mourning the loss of a spouse.” The Friday evening will feature guest speaker, Denise Giffen, widowed in the middle of civil war tensions in West Africa in 2002. Grace Wulff, founder of New Hope, will share the story of how she began this organization in the middle of her own grief experience. Refreshments and an opportunity to get to know fellow retreaters will follow. On the Saturday, retreat participants will attend a general session about understanding the basic needs of the griever, followed by an opportunity to share their individual stories of loss in a small group setting. At registration, three of the following six workshop topics can be selected: transitioning to living single, hoping and coping in the first year, complicated grief, experiencing grief as a man, Christianity and the griever and financial and estate needs. The day will include lunch and a candlelight ceremony of remembrance. This year, the retreat offers a Saturday program for children aged six to 10, facili-

tated by Val Johnson, who has many years of experience with children in the Vernon School District and served on the New Hope board during her early years as a widow. “The retreat is organized by the volunteer board of directors and other members who come alongside the newly bereaved as companions, while the speakers and workshop leaders are experienced and knowledgeable in each of their particular topics,” said Bouchard. “It takes courage to attend a retreat for grievers, but the overwhelming response from those who come is warm and positive. The goal is to create a safe place to share, learn, and connect with others who have also been widowed.” The cost for the retreat is $60 if registered before April 1, and $75 after that date. Accommodation for out of town guests is not included. To receive a registration form and register, phone the New Hope office at 250-545-6004 or e-mail newhope.bc.ca@ gmail.com with your mailing address.

THE NEW “SIGNATURE SERIES” COLLEEN FRIESEN PHOTO

The sun sets on Rovinj, a fishing port and tourism mecca located on the north Adriatic Sea in Croatia. Vintgar Gorge, all that dazzled me was the river’s water. Water that wasn’t so much clear as simply liquid light that spilled through a crazy chasm. After one week of Slovenian foods like gibanica, delicious bowls of jota soup and the plates of Kransjka klobasa sausages, we pointed our little rental car southwest and headed into Croatia and then Bosnia-Herzegovina. In Croatia we joined the masses to walk the meandering boardwalks through Plitvice Lakes National Park, as incredulous as everyone around us at the limestone and turquoise miracles of water-falling lakes. We wandered the seaside city maze of Rovinj, surveyed our kingdom from the hilltop of Motovun, ogled the castle walls in Split and Dubrovnik and ate more perfectly grilled squid than I thought possible. But it was in BosniaHerzegovina that we lost our hearts. Sarajevo is a city where the ‘roses’ are the blast marks left from grenades. Some are painted red as a reminder of all that was lost. Others lend an eerie beauty to the sides of apartment blocks. The bombed-out buildings are disappearing as the city drags itself back up from the four

year siege of 1992-1996 but still, bullet holes remain as testimony. It is hard to believe that a city that looks like an exotic blend of Istanbul and Vienna could have endured such hardship. Before we made this trip I had never been able to keep it all straight. Who fought who and why? But standing on those streets where it all happened, reading the books, talking to the guides and locals, suddenly, I understood. The history came alive. Although I can never say that the horror of war could ever make sense, I felt like I finally had a grasp of what transpired. For centuries, prior

to the siege, the people of Sarajevo had worked, traded, loved and lived in peaceful co-existence. They are, once again, living together and co-operating. Each day we heard the muezzins’ mournful call to prayer. In between, the Catholic church bells rang out. I liked to imagine them all as calls to love. And isn’t love the truth that every religion seeks? Our Balkan trip through some of the former Yugoslavia was not just about the discovery of the innocence of Kekec. Or learning of the mind-numbing deaths of 1,600 children during the four years of

the Sarajevo war. It also included the diverse art, rich culture, history, stirring music, divine food and beautiful people. But most importantly, traveling through these countries afforded us the opportunity to imagine other’s lives. Maybe not enough to walk a mile in their shoes, but at the least, for just a little while, the chance to walk beside them. Colleen Friesen is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

BALKANS - We first learned of Kekec in a restaurant in Ljubljana. It was a rainy September night, but, like us, everyone was sitting outside under large awnings enjoying drinks and meals while the rain gushed off the walls and roofs. Like most Slovenians we met, our server spoke excellent English. I asked her what the WiFi password, Srecno Kekec meant. ”Oh, Kekec,” she said, with a face that was transformed into what can only be described as wistfully nostalgic, “Kekec... every child, every adult, every one grew up with a love of Kekec. He is the hero from a book written in 1918. Then it was made into a film in the 1950s...everyone knows and admires Kekec...and the other word, Srenco? It means, good luck. Later, I looked up Kekec on YouTube. I discovered a young earnest lad who does good while hiking and singing in the Julian Alps. Kekec seems to be a kind of boy-version of Heidi crossed with the magical effervescence of Alice in Wonderland. From then on, I searched for Kekec; walking up the trail to Slap Savica, a waterfall that bursts out of the middle of a steep limestone cliff or as we twisted and hair-pinned down the skinny roads of the Julian Alps. I thought too, that I saw him disappear behind the endless stacks of firewood beside the Austrianlike wooden houses that dotted the extreme hillsides. Then again, maybe he was hidden among the blonde cows with huge brass bells around their necks. Although I looked around every corner of the almost- twokilometre boardwalk in

Vernon boutique waves the flag LISA VANDERVELDE

Morning Star Staff

The owner of Birch Hill Studio is keeping things Canadian. Sierra Harris’ downtown boutique celebrates Canadian style and creativity by selling only clothing, jewelry and decor that is either made or designed in Canada. Harris moved to Vernon with her husband, Gerran Thorhaug, and daughter, Stella, last summer after selling their restaurant in Terrace and purchasing Brown’s Social House in Vernon. After staying home with their four-yearold daughter, Harris felt ready to follow her passion and open a boutique that reflects her own hip, casual style. She opened Birch Hill Studio in November after carefully designing the space to create a cool welcoming store. The bright walls hold industrial wooden shelving that is dressed up with gold accents to showcase her changing and evolving inventory. “I always sold my own crafty things I made on Etsy (an online store),” said Harris. “I wanted to empower the creative community as a whole and help other vendors sell their products.” Harris sells her own handmade jewelry in the store and is launching her own apparel line. Birch Hill Studio carries women’s, men’s and children’s clothing and accessories, home decor, jewelry, bath and body products from producers from all over Canada. Born and raised in Terrace, she is excited by their new home in Vernon. “We love it here. It is definitely our forever place,” said Harris. “Our daughter loves it here too. There is so much for her to do.” Harris said that her daughter has inspired her fashion sense.

Manager Kaitlyn Clarkson (left) and owner Sierra Harris have recently opened Birch Hill Studio in downtown Vernon. “Being a mom, it’s all about jeans and hoodies so that’s why we carry the Brunette the Label sweatshirt line and the Untitled Shop sweatshirt line because they are super cute women’s sweatshirts that feel good when you’re running around all day with your kids,” said Harris. “Throw on a cute sweatshirt with a pair

of skinny jeans and a great pair of boots or Chucks and that is a mom’s style.” Harris and her husband didn’t completely leave Terrace behind. Gerran brought with him his friend and chef from their restaurant in Terrace to join him at Brown’s Social House while Harris’ store manager is a friend from Terrace.

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Harris and Birch Hill Studio store manager Kaitlyn Clarkson have developed an interesting way of finding items to put in the store. “We find a majority of our vendors on Instagram,” said Harris, who also follows other boutiques on Instagram with a similar goal to support Canadian producers.

a financial advisor with the expertise and experience necessary to help you decide what is right for you. And you’ll want someone committed to your success. But there’s a big difference between someone who promises to do the best possible job for you and someone who promises big results. Be wary of financial advisors who claim they can consistently achieve high returns for you – there are very few guarantees in the investment world. Explain how he or she will be compensated? Financial advisors get paid in various ways, often in some combination of fees and commissions. Ask all potential financial advisors how they get compensated; any reputable professional will be up front about his or her charges. By finding the answers to these key questions, you should be able to find a financial advisor who is well-suited to work with you. So take the time you need to gather enough information to feel confident in your choice. After all, you’re enlisting the help of someone who can have a big impact on your financial future.

questions. Know your investment style? Obviously, you’ll want someone who will recommend only those investments that are in your best interest and that can help you make progress toward your goals. Therefore, the person you choose needs to understand your investment personality — that is, whether you are an aggressive, moderate or conservative investor. Have a certain investment philosophy? You may have your own investment style and preferences and so do many financial advisors. In fact, some financial advisors have an overriding investment philosophy that governs many of their recommendations. You need to find this out before you start working with someone. Communicate frequently? The most knowledgeable financial advisor in the world won’t be of much help to you if he or she is not a good communicator. You need someone who will regularly let you know if you’re on track or make suggestions if you’re not — even if you aren’t scheduled to meet for a while. And, speaking of conferring with your financial advisor, you’ll want someone who will meet with you when it’s convenient for you, whether it’s in person or over the phone. Avoid making big promises?

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE SECOND FIT MAY BE BETTER David Sarnoff, a businessman and media pioneer who died in 1971, said, “Success, in a generally accepted sense of the term, means the opportunity to experience and to realize to the maximum the forces that are within us.” At the bridge table, we would like to end each deal with the maximum possible score. That usually only requires bidding and playing sensibly. But sometimes it needs a little of that je ne sais quoi. In today’s deal, look at the North hand. South opens one spade, North raises to two spades, and South rebids three clubs. What should North do now?

South’s three-club bid is a help-suit game-try, asking North to look in particular at his black suits. With few points there, North signs off in three spades; but with good holdings, he typically jumps to four spades. However, with a magic hand like this one, he tells partner about the double fit by raising to four clubs. Now analyze the deal. How does South get on with (a) spades or (b) clubs as trumps? In spades, South has only 11 tricks: five spades, one diamond and five clubs. Declarer must lose either two diamonds or one trick in each red suit. In clubs, though, there are 12 winners: five spades, one diamond, five clubs, and one heart ruff in South,

the shorter trump hand. Two diamond losers disappear from North on South’s fourth and fifth spades. When North raises three clubs to four clubs, South, placing his partner with the spade queen and club acequeen, should go for the maximum by jumping to six clubs.

Spallumcheen awards contract for paving ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

A Vernon company will take care of Spallumcheen’s road projects this year. Vernon Paving won the tender for the township’s 2016 capital roads program, which is the full depth reclamation and paving of four portions of Spallumcheen’s 200-kilometres of road. “The low tender price from Vernon Paving of $992,800.75 is $22,200 lower than the 2016 budget amount of $1,015,000,” said Spallumcheen public works manager Ed Forslund. “Vernon Paving has successfully completed previous work for the

township.” The total budget amount for the progam is just under $1.1 million, which includes the $1,015,000 for full depth reclamation and paving, as well as $84,750 for engineering, surveying, testing and geotechnical costs. Vernon Paving was the lowest bidder out of two tenders received for the project. In 2016, the following roads will received full depth reclamation and paving: n St. Anne’s Road from Highway 97 to Otter Lake Road, approximately one kilometre; n Otter lake Road from St. Anne’s Road to

Larkin X Road, approximately 2.1 kilometres; n Larkin X Road from Otter Lake Road to the bridge, approximately 0.6 kilometres; n Stepney X Road from Fortune Creek Bridge to Back Enderby Road, approximately 0.6 kilometres. Coun. Christine Fraser reminded residents that the projects are only for reclamation and paving, not for putting in brand new roads. “The cost for 4.3 kilometres of road for just reclamation is over a million dollars and we have 200 kilometres of roads in the township,” said Fraser. “When people won-

North Okanagan residents have an opportunity to help preserve wetlands while enjoying a fun evening out at the Ducks Unlimited banquet. The 32nd annual dinner and auction gets underway Saturday at the Vernon Atrium Hotel. “Please join us for this fun evening, enjoy a great meal and help Ducks Unlimited conserve Canada’s wetlands,” said DUC’s Bill Cuthbert. The fundraising event sees more than 85 per cent of monies raised go towards preserving the wetlands. Tickets to the Vernon banquet are $50 and can be purchased at Fisher’s

Hardware, by contacting Tyson Amies (tamies@telus.net or 250-2603428) or online at ducks.ca under the heading How to Help, then Attend an Event, select province and Vernon banquet and then Buy tickets. Recently Ducks Unlimited received the donation of wetland in Oyama. Recognizing the wetland’s importance to wildlife and concerned about the ongoing loss of habitat, the Young family donated the land to safeguard its future. The land has been home to painted turtles, great blue herons, red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds, a variety of snakes, frogs and water fowl.

der where their tax dollars go, a lot of it goes to roads.”

Added Forslund: “We would probably not be able to do one of

these projects as a full reconstruction versus what we pay for base

reclamation. I’m very happy with the success of the program.”

Enderby prepares for Motion event RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan residents have an opportunity to get active. The fifth annual Enderby in Motion run takes place April 9. “It’s a great way to get out with your family,” said Patricia Cech, organizer. Participants can walk, run or use assisted transportation such as strollers (no bicycles). The 10-kilometre route starts at 9 a.m. at the Enderby Curling Club while the two and five-kilometre portion of the event starts at 9:30 a.m. at the club. Funds raised will go towards accessibility projects in Enderby. “It’s not just about wheelchairs. It could be moms in strollers,” said Cech. “It’s about helping people get around.” Non-perishable items will also be collected for the Feed Enderby and District Food Bank.

years ago as part of Rick Hansen’s national relay to mark the 25th anniversary of his world tour. “We’re trying to get all of the initial participants back for the fifth anniversary,” said Cech. About 75 people have taken part in previous events. “We’re hoping for more this year,” said Cech. Enderby in Motion is sponsored by Curves Armstrong and it will include door prizes and a grand prize draw of two adult passes to the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival.

Entrepreneurs challenged Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s own version of the Dragon’s Den has planted the roots for several new businesses competing to succeed. The first round of the Enterprize Challenge competition is complete and the seven finalists have been chosen. The Enterprize Challenge is designed to give new and start-up business owners the chance to pitch their business ideas (yes, kind of like CBC’s Dragons’ Den) to a panel of judges. The competition took place March 8, where judges had the difficult task of narrowing down the participants to seven, who will do a final pitch on April 5. On that date, the judges will face the enormous challenge of choosing the three grand prize winners who will share over $30,000 in business service prizes. The seven Enterprize Challenge finalists are: Farm Bound – Jaye Coward Farm Bound connects people with organic and local food, offering customers throughout B.C. organic produce, artisan cheeses & meats, as well as organic, dried and processed goods.

Dust control in Spallumcheen will fall to a familiar name. Tiger Calcium Services Inc., based in Nisku, outside of Edmonton, has been awarded a one-year contract with a township option of four additional one-year renewals. “Tiger Calcium Services Inc. has provided excellent dust control service to the township over the past five years,” said township public works manager Ed Forslund. Approximately 180,000 litres of calcium chloride or magnesium chloride is applied annually to various sections of gravel roads throughout the township. The number is based on 2015 inventory. Three companies bid on the dust control lender with Tiger Calcium Services being the lowest bidder at 27.5 cents per litre, or a cost of $49,500 for the 180,000 litres. Permits issued Two more building permits worth $37,500 were issued in the township in February. Through the first two months of 2016, eight permits totalling $560,500 have been issued.

Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

The last time The Morning Star met Tyler Watson, he was two years old, sporting bright yellow overalls and scooting down a plastic toddler-sized slide in his living room. Now 19 and wearing a hoodie and jeans, the Vernon secondary school graduate is 6-foot 1 and has long outgrown his toys. He’s come a long way since he underwent a life-saving kidney transplant at B.C. Children’s Hospital, thanks to a healthy kidney donated by his father. Then just nine months old, Tyler was born with severe damage to his kidneys and in July 1998, he became the smallest and youngest kidney transplant recipient in British Columbia history when he received a kidney from his dad, Corey Watson. “Life has been pretty normal — I’ve been sick a few times, but other than that it’s been pretty good,” said Tyler, relaxing with his mom, Renee Webber, in the living room of the family’s Mission Hill home. But transplanted kidneys don’t last forever and Tyler’s is no exception. He is back on the transplant list and undergoing dialysis three times a week. “After the transplant, he did really, really well,” said Webber. “His kidney lasted 16 years — the average is 10 years. Tyler got really sick a couple of years ago and his kidney function kept decreasing until he had to go on dialysis.” Tyler was unable to return to the peritoneal dialysis he had as a child because of the excess of scar tissue on his abdomen. Instead, he undergoes hemodialysis by way of a fistula, an access made by joining an artery and vein in the arm. The raised bump on Tyler’s upper left arm allows blood to travel through soft tubes to the dialysis machine where it is cleaned as it passes through a special filter called a dialyzer. Hemodialysis is not available to children in the Okanagan but as an adult, Tyler is able to do his dialysis in Vernon. Three times a week, four hours a session, he is hooked up to a machine at the Vernon Community Dialsysis Unit run by BC Renal. He spends his time playing games on a handheld device, watching TV or chatting with the nurses, all of whom he calls “awesome.” But the dialysis that does the work of his kidneys — cleaning the blood by removing excess waste and water — is a temporary measure until Tyler is able to get a kidney donated. “I was tested last time and I was a match and I did get tested again and then because

he had a transplant previously he has built up antibodies that will destroy my kidney so I’m no longer a match,” said Webber. “So that was a big disappointment because of course living donors are better than cadaver donors. They take better, they last longer.” Over the years, Webber said humour and a positive attitude have gone a long way in getting her family through the tough times. “I think humour is a big thing, but I think that Tyler’s done so well at coping with it that I think the only time I’ve felt super scared is when he said something was wrong,” said Webber, who is also mom to Landen, 10, and Tenille, now grown up, married and with two sons — Webber’s grandsons, Andrew and Noah. “Tyler had really good stints of good health for a long time and then it was just getting worse. “We’ve also had lots of support right from the beginning; my mom is here, his aunties — my sisters are 26 and 22 and Tyler’s close to them. When Tyler was younger we were in and out of the hospital a lot and, Tenille spent most of her time with Corey’s mom and she was amazing. “I always thought positive, I think that if you don’t you’d get really depressed. Tyler had a lot of bladder infections, that was one thing that kept us in the hospital quite a bit, and kidney infections and stuff like that, but he was always so good about it. We’d just hang out in the hospital.” According to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, there are 4,433 Canadians waiting for a donor organ, with 75 per cent of those waiting for a kidney. In Canada, 52 per cent of kidney transplants are from living donors. The median wait time for a deceased donor transplant is 3.9 years, which is why the

Tyler Watson, 19, has outgrown the kidney he received as a toddler and is on the transplant list as he waits for a new organ. March is Kidney Health Month in Canada. foundation asks all Canadians to consider living organ donation. Most people have two kidneys and a healthy person can donate one because the kidney has the ability to greatly increase its workload and do the work for two. For Watson, life after transplant meant he was able to do all of the things kids love to do. There were regular check-ups and visits to B.C. Children’s Hospital more times than he cares to remember, but he was able to play road hockey and, thanks to Make-A-Wish Canada, enjoy a trip to Disneyland with his

entire family. He graduated from Vernon secondary school in 2014 and is unsure of what his future plans looks like, but is looking towards a post-secondary education. “My teachers at VSS were really understanding about everything, my friends are too, they’re really good,” he said. “I don’t really play sports too much now. I’m more tired now. I had a job, but it was just too hard to schedule around dialysis.

Jerett Columbus and Jen Walters (left) take a breather from their lot clean-up duties at the new Habitat for Humanity triplex to visit with their new neighbours Natalie and Ivan Scowen and family (right). Heather Campbell and her dog Belle dropped by to lend a hand. Sweat Equity is one of the key components of Habitat for Humanity home ownership and two of the three families who will be occupying the new triplex in Vernon’s East Hill got their first taste of this hands-on feature of the program last weekend. Each successful family applying for Habitat home ownership must agree to 500 hours of their combined labour during the construction of their new home.

Living donor program saves lives Continued from A26 “I play games, hang out with my friends, my sister and my two nephews. “I would like to go back to school, I think that would be the best thing to do, but I’m not sure what I want to do.” Tyler started feeling unwell in 2013, and was in and out of the hospital. Visits to his nephrologist in Kelowna confirmed that his donated kidney was no longer working. “Every time I got blood work they would notice my levels getting worse, so they have prepared me for it for the past couple of years. For my blood type there is a two-year waiting list and I’ve been on dialysis two years so I think that speeds

things up a bit.” Meanwhile, he’s on a low-potassium, low-sodium and low-phosphorous diet to make it easier on his kidney as they can’t filter out the excess. That means trips to McDonald’s for a side of fries are out. “I’m used to it, I take Tums every time I eat because it binds the excess phosphorous, but I’ve grown used to it.” As a child, Tyler and his family received support from the David Foster Foundation during their many stays in Vancouver when he was at B.C. Children’s Hospital. As an adult, the Kidney Foundation steps in to help. Once you are on the transplant list, a phone call could come at any time and

a patient needs to get to Vancouver and admitted to St. Paul’s Hospital, where the transplant team will be waiting. “I just want people to know how important organ donation is,” said Webber. “There are people who don’t know about live donor donation or just maybe they think ‘I can’t go down and do that.’ So I really want people to know that anyone can do this.” According to The Kidney Foundation of Canada, the success rate for a kidney transplant from a living donor is 90 to 95 per cent after one year, and the transplanted kidney lasts 15 to 20 years on average.

Canadian history celebrated at fair Morning Star Staff

The 2016 Vernon and District Heritage is on track for its scheduled April 8 date. The fair is a celebration of Canadian history. It encourages students to explore their heritage in a dynamic hands-on learning environment. Students use the medium of their choice to share stories about Canadian heroes, legends, milestones and achievements. More than 190 students have already participated in the Vernon school district heritage fairs held this month. Of these, 40 students have been invited to attend the Vernon and District Heritage Fair. “Students will participate in a fun-filled day of activities, a chance to have their projects judged, and the opportunity to showcase their work for family, friends and the community. They will also receive a free T-shirt, lunch, snacks and prizes,” said fair organizer Pat Simmons. From the Vernon fair some students will receive an invitation to travel to the Okanagan Regional Fair and the opportunity to be invited to attend the B.C. Provincial Heritage Fair. “Participation in the fairs enhances literacy and communication skills, supports cross curricular IRP requirements, and encourages active citizenship by celebrating the roots and achievements of people,” said Simmons.

The community is encouraged to attend the public open house at the Schubert Centre Friday, April 8 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., followed by the awards ceremony. For more information, or to contact the fair committee, visit www.vernonheritagefair.org or e-mail vernonheritagefair@gmail.com. The 2016 Vernon and District Heritage Fair is a project of the North Okanagan Optimist Club, www.northokanaganoptimistclub.org.

Film fest: travel the world in seven days Film society screens docs, dramas and more at its 22nd annual Vernon International Film Festival Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Film lovers are about to travel the world from the comforts of a cushy seat in a dark theatre when the Vernon Film Society presents its 22nd annual Vernon International Film Festival. The festival, taking place at the VFS’ home at the Towne Cinema in downtown Vernon, starts April 1 and continues to April 7. “The Vernon Film Society is pleased to announce a very strong schedule of films for the 22nd annual Vernon International Film Festival,” said Charles Wills, with the VFS. Two different films will be shown nightly, at 5:15 and 7:45 p.m., with a total of 14 international films including award winning and nominated dramas, documentaries, comedies and foreign language entries to be screened in all. Kicking off the festival Friday, April 1 at 5:15 p.m. is the British stage-to-screen comedy-drama The Lady in the Van, starring Maggie Smith. The true-to-life story is about Mary Shepherd, a former nun and concert pianist who ended up as a transient living in a dilapidated van on the driveway of the home of Alan Bennett (the film’s writer) in London for 15 years. Michael Moore’s latest documentary, Where to Invade Next, at 7:45 p.m., sees the provoca-

But beneath its innocent-abroad optimism, the film has a stinging truth that’s hard to ignore,” wrote Chris Nashawaty, film critic with Entertainment Weekly magazine. On Saturday, April 2 at 5:15 p.m., Hungarian war drama Son of Saul is about the two days in the life of Saul Auslander, a Hungarian prisoner working as a member of the Sonderkommando at one of the Auschwitz crematoriums who, to bury the corpse of a boy he takes for his son, tries to carry out his impossible deed. (The film is in Hungarian with English subtitles.) Canadian entry, Our Loved Ones (Les Etres Chers), at 7:45 p.m., is directed by Montreal’s Anne Emond and centres on a

French-Canadian family whose patriarch committed suicide. The film explores the continuing emotional impact of his death on his now-adult son and granddaughter. (In French with English subtitles.) Oscar winners Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) and Tim Robbins (Mystic River) star in the U.S. film The Perfect Day, Sunday, April 3 at 5:15 p.m. The film follows a group of aid workers who work to resolve a crisis in an armed conflict zone. At 7:45, 99 Homes stars Michael Shannon (Take Shelter) as a ruthless businessman who evicts a family from their Florida home. The father (Andrew Garfield, The Social Network), desperate to save his family, becomes the businessman’s assistant and lowers himself to his level. Iceland drama, Rams, Monday, April 4 at 5:15 p.m., is about two sheepherder brothers who raise a special breed of prized sheep

despite not having spoken to each other in 40 years. (The film is in Icelandic with English subtitles.) Winner of the audience award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, Meru, at 7:45 p.m., follows climbers Conrad Anker, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, who arrived in India to tackle the Shark’s Fin on Mount Meru. What was meant to be a sevenday trip became a 20-day odyssey in sub-zero temperatures, with the setback of a massive storm that showered the mountain with at least three metres of snow. Tuesday, April 5 at 5:15 p.m., Turkish-French film Mustang, nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, follows five young orphaned sisters and the challenges they face growing up in a conservative society. “Mustang is full of life even as it depicts lives in lockdown,” said Nicolas Rapold, with The New

York Times. (In French with English subtitles.) Born to be Blue, at 7:45 p.m., is the Canadian produced film that re-images the life of troubled American jazz legend Chet Baker, starring Ethan Hawke (Boyhood) and Callum Keith Rennie (Hard Core Logo). Bryan Cranston’s Oscar nominated performance as blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo is told in the film Trumbo, Wednesday, April 6 at 5:15 p.m. At 7:45 p.m. is the Irish macabre comedy The Legend of Barney Thomson, directed by and starring Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty), as a Glasgow barber who becomes a suspect in a string of gruesome murders. New Zealand film The Dark Horse, Thursday, April 7 at 5:15 p.m., is the true story of Genesis “Gen” Potini (Cliff Curtis), a Maori speed-chess champion who seeks redemption and a new purpose in life despite his struggles with bipolar disorder. The final film of the festival, at 7:45 p.m., is U.S. full-length documentary Unbranded, which follows four young Texans and the 16 wild mustangs they adopt to embark on a 3,000-mile journey from Mexico to Canada through treacherous territory. Admission to the film festival is $7 per film or $30 for a five-film pass (cash only), good for any number of people for any film. Tickets/passes are now on sale at the Towne box office and the Bean Scene coffee house, across from the theatre. Pass holders should be in the theatre at least 15 minutes before the film starts to ensure a seat (first come, first served). Doors open every day at 4 p.m. More information is available at www.vernonfilmsociety.bc.ca.

Life on Mars makes for an intriguing read

he power of the written word is never so evident as when compared to a film based upon it. But sometimes a well-crafted and measured film can capture the essence of a novel. The Martian, a 2015 film directed by Ridley Scott, based on the novel of the same name by Andy Weir, achieves this rare feat. Peter Critchley The novel is a tautly written thriller that pays homage to simple intelligence, ingenuity and the power of science. Science, after all, is what ultimately saves Mark Watney, the botanist-mechanical engineer stranded on Mars.

Book Talk

The film honours this theme and remains true to the narrative and character. The story opens with a powerful windstorm that forces the Ares 3 landing crew to abandon its mission to Mars. During the transit from their habitat to the ascent vehicle, Mark is struck by flying debris that punctures his spacesuit and disables the suit’s bio-sign monitor so he appears to be dead. But he isn’t dead and when he regains consciousness he realizes his crew has abandoned him. He is completely alone with no means to even signal earth that he is alive. All he needs to do now is re-establish communications, find a source of food and survive in a harsh, unforgiving environment that brooks no margin for error, human or

otherwise. Mark, the wise-cracking mission engineer and fix-it guy, uses his intelligence and sheer grit to steadfastly confront and hurdle one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another and keep himself alive. The protagonists, in both the film and novel, share the same sardonic, snarky sense of humour, even in the face of death-defying odds. This not only rounds out the character but helps advance the story and quell the terror of being utterly alone and dying a marooned death. Mark’s solutions to food and life-support problems are credible. The author laces the narrative with enough technical details to satisfy die-hard science fiction fans and general audiences alike. And the

hero’s proactive nature and fierce determination to survive drives and escalates the story to a heart-stopping conclusion. NASA announced it found water on Mars four days before the film opened. This certainly heightened interest in the film, the novel and the red planet itself – the next frontier of space exploration. Other titles that explore life on Mars include the classic The Martian Chronicles (1977) by Ray Bradbury and Theodore Judson’s The Martian General’s Daughter (2008), which despite its pulp fiction title is actually one of the most erudite and intriguing novels set on Mars you will read. – These and other titles are available at your Okanagan Regional Library branch.

The Trips are worth the trip to Kelowna

A band familiar to these parts is about to release its new album in Kelowna. The Trips, who have been a featured artist at the Coldstream Coffee House, are celebrating the release of new album, Love Came Calling, at the Kelowna Community Theatre April 9 at 7 p.m. The concert is presented by the Streaming Café. The Trips is a group of internationally known, world-class musicians, who came together in the summer of 2013 and quickly became a crowd favourite. Their high energy, heartfelt, lyrics and original twist on alternative bluegrass have entertained and thrilled thousands throughout B.C. and has even put them on stage for the prime minister. Joining the band will be special guest Jen Lane, a Saskatoon based recording artist who is currently touring her fifth album This Life of Mine. Lane has a long list of accolades including nominations for the Western Canadian Music Awards, The Prairie Music Awards, and many notable showcases across Canada and the U.S. Tickets for the The Trips’ Kelowna performance are $20 and include a copy of the band’s new album. They are available at Kelowna Tickets in the Orchard Park Mall and online at kelownatickets. com.

Visit this Garage Sale

Bargain hunting at the neighbour’s garage sale was never as much fun as the craziness that ensues in the latest play being put on by the Creekside Players. Staging at 7:30 p.m. April 7 to 9 and 14 to 16 at the Creekside Theatre in George Elliott Secondary School in Lake Country, The Garage Sale is a hilarious slice-of-life comedy by Vancouver’s David King. It is set on a suburban Canadian street, where the Grady family experience the frenzy of their father’s mid-life crisis. Phil, the dad, plans to sell everything and move his wife and two teenagers to the desert. The problem is, he hasn’t told them of his plans. At the ensuing garage sale, where a wonderfully strange collection of characters attend – the cranky neighbour, two bargain fanatics and the disheveled Billy Boyce – some surprising resolutions are made. Tickets are $20/adult and $10 student/senior. Call 250-766-9309 or visit the customer desk at the Lake Country Municipal Hall during office hours to purchase.

Live Well

HEALTH TIP TOM NOLAN

brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist

One of the best ways to improve your health besides stopping smoking, is to get a good night’s sleep. Seven hours at least is the goal. Sleep is a time of healing for the body and will help reduce your blood pressure, make a healthier immune system and generally makes you feel better. And don’t use your electronic gadgets before bed. When you read about a “study” revealing some new finding in health, find out how many people were in the study. Often it’s very few and this can make the results of the study suspect. The best example of this was the vaccine/autism study of 12 children. This study has been soundly refuted. There is no longer a coloration between vaccines and autism. People often look for non-drug methods for relieving common medical conditions. An example is to control the nausea that accompanies traveling by car, boat or plane. There are knitted wristbands with a small plastic stud which puts pressure on the Nei Kuan acupressure point on the wrists. There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence that these work and they have no side effects. They’re worth a try. When you receive a new medication for the first time, you may experience a side effect that might discourage you from continuing with the drug. Talk to us. There may be ways to take it to minimize any adverse effects. We try to let you know the possible main side effects of the medications you receive from us. We’ll help you get the most out of all your medications.

’ve worked in a highly creative job in the arts for more than seven years now – and it’s the endless diversity day in and day out that just never gets old. Where else could I work on any given week that starts off with pointe shoes and pirouettes, followed by bearded axe juggling lumberjacks on a Tuesday, and bagpipers sending me off into my weekend? As April arrives on our doorstep, check out these events that will feed your creative side: The Vernon Folk-Roots Music Society presents the dynamic duo of Cara Luft and JD Edwards Saturday, April 2 at the Paddlewheel Park Hall. The Small Glories is created from these two folk dynamos, each with his/her own unique style and following. Combined, Luft and Edwards Brian van Wensem are building buzz around their tight harmonies and visceral performances. The music starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are on sale through the Ticket Seller box office at the centre, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. The wait is almost over for Quebec’s Cirque Alfonse to bring their much anticipated lumberjackthemed acrobatic extravaganza Timber! to the Vernon stage. On April 5, witness epic feats of aerial acrobatics, agility and strength in a festive evening of beards, muscles, checked lumberjack shirts and long johns. Timber! is a unique show where real farming and logging equipment, axes and saws are reimagined into acrobatic contraptions while a traditional Francophone soundtrack is performed live on stage. Tickets for this family-friendly show are still available through the Ticket Seller. Celebrate all things Celtic when the Kalamalka Highlanders present Tartan Up! April 9 at the Performing Arts Centre. Marking the Scottish declaration of independence, the event features choirs, dancers, singers, and Vernon’s own band-within-a band Kilt 45. Arrive wearing your own tartan for a chance to win door prizes. Tickets are on sale now through the Ticket Seller. And Enderby’s Runaway Moon Theatre has a new and delightful documentary-style puppet play at Salmon Arm’s Shuswap Theatre from March 31 to April 2. 21 Ways to Make the World Last Longer explores funny, kooky and possibly necessary approaches to living on an endangered planet. This production for both young and old was co-written by Cathy Stubington and James Fagan Tait. Yu can pick up your tickets through the Ticket Seller here in Vernon by calling 549-SHOW (7469).

In Memoriam

Geoffrey Goodrich December 20th 1930 – March 27th 2015

With heavy hearts we remember the passing of Geoffrey Goodrich a year ago in Vernon, British Columbia at the age of 84 years, joining his “Jeanie”, after nearly four years apart. Geoff and Jean moved to Canada from England in 1966 with their three youngsters, originally to Kitimat BC, before making Vernon, their long-time home, in 1976. An industrial electrician with a hearty laugh, quick wit, who enjoyed a good debate, he developed many lifelong friendships. He enjoyed reminiscing, with many stories from his jobs in England from working on airplanes in the RAF, the Alcan smelter in Kitimat, to his final career move to Weyerhauser in Lumby. His favourite stories told of his life with Jean, including their memorable vacations, especially Hawaii. Jean concluded her years at Polson Extended Care. Geoff visited twice daily. With his humour, as well as his charm, he formed close bonds with residents, their families and staff. Geoff’s compassion led to him being asked to do presentations for RN classes. Speaking of his life with Jean, he reminded them these people were so much more, than just a chart. With his warmth and love, he touched many lives. He was an ear to listen, even with poor hearing, a shoulder when things fell apart, as well as a strong hand that helped pick you up. After what was thought to have been a successful battle with cancer, growth began again, this time Geoff succumbed to it, though not before having a new outlook on life, and a little extra time with his family and friends. He was able to be at home, as he had wished. He is survived by his sons David and Clive (Roxy), his daughter Helen, his grandchildren Jenna (Chris), Justin, Tamara (Trevor), Nyssa (Shane), Liam and Brennan, as well as 9 great-grandchildren Merrick, Bennett, Aaron, Rayyen, Isaac, Kai, Jacob, Elijah, and Neeva.

Tom Frame On behalf of myself and our two sons, Thomas and Nolan, I would like to try to convey our gratitude to the many people who have surrounded us with kindness these past weeks after the sudden death of our amazing husband and father. The words “thank you” are so insignificant compared to the infinite acts of love and compassion that we received from our family, friends and countless others near and far. Food, flowers, cards, emails, phone calls, cheques sent to VJH or Richmond Sockeyes Alumni, errands, dog walking, hand holding and hugging to name but a few. This sorrow does not belong to just us, but is shared, and that is, somehow, very comforting. Thank you so very much. Love Barb, Thomas and Nolan Frame

I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time. - A.A. Milne Information

Spring Chipping … Don’t Miss Out!

The Corporation of the City of Vernon will provide curbside pickup of residential prunings on the following dates in 2016 City of Vernon & Foothills Okanagan Landing & Blue Jay

Former B.C. environment minister Barry Penner takes over as chair of the Insurance Corporation of B.C. at the end of March. Penner’s appointment comes as ICBC prepares its final argument for a 5.5 per cent rate increase that it started charging in November. The increase raises the cost of basic insurance by about $3.70 per month for the average driver, and still needs approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Citing rising costs from person-

al injury claims and fraud, ICBC proposed a maximum 6.7 per cent increase. The province gave the Crown corporation permission for a one-time transfer of $450 million from its optional insurance business to subsidize the basic rate. “The B.C. government will continue to work with ICBC to identify and implement measures that will mitigate the causes of rate increases, to help ensure that ICBC insurance rates remain as low and affordable as possible,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

March 29 - April 1 & April 5 - 8 April 12 - 15; April 19 - 22

This program is funded by residential garbage customers and is provided on the same day and location as regular garbage pickup. Missed piles not reported to The City of Vernon within 24 hours after the second week will not be picked up. As the service provides only 10 minutes maximum chipping per customer each week, please observe the following: • • • • • • •

Same day/location as garbage pickup Do not pile with neighbour’s chipping Do not tie with wire No roots or dirt in pile Pile thorns separately No branches or tree trunks more than 4” in diameter Stack all prunings with butt ends facing street or lane.

Tangled piles or excessive volumes may result in material left behind, therefore property owners can hire a chipper or haul to the landfill.

Hours of operation: from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday and from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Saturday and Sunday effective March 1st.
