Vernon a step closer to new library RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The long wait for a new library may be over. Okanagan Regional Library has scheduled a press conference for 10 a.m. Monday and it’s believed that plans for a new Vernon branch will be announced. “I can’t say. It’s all in-camera at this time,” said Mike Macnabb, ORL director, when contacted. However, The Morning Star has learned the North Okanagan Regional District has agreed to borrow money on behalf of ORL for a new branch. ORL staff met with regional district directors behind closed doors Wednesday.
Public consent would be done through an alternate approval process, which would require 10 per cent of voters to sign a petition in opposition to keep borrowing from occurring. ORL has been trying to identify suitable sites for a larger library branch, including the city-owned Coldstream Hotel parking lot. Another option has been to expand the existing facility. Plans for a new library have been discussed for about a decade and ORL policies indicate the current facility, at 13,000-square-feet, is only half the size it should be for the population base it serves. There was a major stumbling block in 2008 when a majority of

city voters shot down plans for a civic complex, which would have included a library. Mayor Wayne Lippert is hopeful Monday’s announcement deals with a new branch. “A decision needs to happen on the library,” he said. “It’s time to put it to bed and have an answer.” Lippert points out that the city’s need to accommodate its own workforce is impacted by the uncertainty surrounding the present library. “If it stays there, we can look at something else for our staff and if it moves, maybe we can do something with the existing building,” he said.

News Superintendent supports the learning KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
I
n Grade 1, one of Bev Rundell’s favourite activities was to play school — she was always the teacher. So when her career path took her from university and into the classroom as a high school French teacher, it wasn’t a big surprise. What wasn’t in her plans was to eventually leave the classroom and wind up as superintendent of the Vernon School District. But Rundell loves a challenge, and so when the opportunity came up to take over from outgoing superintendent Bob Peacock last year, she was ready. Rundell had previously held the viceprincipal’s post at Vernon Secondary School 18 years ago, and had always liked the idea of returning to the district. “I’ve always liked the Okanagan, and Vernon has a reputation as a wonderful district,� she said. “I didn’t start out saying I wanted to be a superintendent, and this isn’t an opportunity I thought was going to come along.� Rundell first came to the district office as assistant superintendent three and a half years ago, working with Peacock during a difficult time for the district, involving school closures and massive funding cuts. Although she enjoyed the job, when the opportunity presented itself to work for the B.C. Education Leadership Council, she jumped at the chance. “The council develops leadership skills of principals and vice-principals across the province, working with parent advisory councils, school trustees and administrators,� said Rundell, who spent one year with the non-profit society. “It was just a great opportunity and I got to see the big picture provincially and nationally, and wanted to look at how I could take that knowledge and apply it to an individual district.� Growing up in a small town in Saskatchewan, Rundell always had her sights set on teaching. With her family’s emphasis on education and her grandmother’s career as a teacher, it was a given. “It was a small community, where we had grandparents, aunts and uncles living close to us,� she said. “It was a great place to grow up, and because it was a small community, it revolved around the school. “Education was always very important, and as a family, we would read together.� Rundell’s family moved to Dawson

“I always wanted to be a teacher. I had such great teachers as a kid.� — Bev Rundell Creek when she was in her teens. From there, she attended the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and then enrolled in the Professional Development Program at Simon Fraser University. But it was to Dawson Creek that she returned as a student teacher who suddenly found herself in the staff room surrounded by people who had once been her teachers and were now her peers. Rundell’s first job as a fully-fledged teacher was in Kamloops, where she taught high school French for Grades 8 to 12. “I always wanted to be a teacher. I had such great teachers as a kid.� Some of Rundell’s fondest memories are from her time as vice-principal at VSS. “I had a great time, and I learned so much from the staff. I was treated well, the atmosphere in the district was so supportive.� From there, it was off to Howe Sound secondary school in Squamish, as vice-prin-
cipal, and then to Heritage Park secondary school in Mission, where Rundell was tasked with opening the brand-new school. “It was a community facility, with a community theatre, and they hired me a year before the school opened, so I hired the staff, and we worked on our vision and goals together. I can’t imagine anyone not having the experience that I had with opening a school — it was wonderful.� But the next challenge soon beckoned and Rundell applied for the principal’s job at Sentinel secondary in West Vancouver. “I could have stayed in Mission forever, but I believe schools need different leadership at different times, so it was time to move on.� She admits it was a bit of a culture shock initially, going from a school in the Fraser Valley to a school in affluent West Vancouver’s British Properties. “They have a strong international program there, so that brought a lot of discre-
tionary funding. I had a wonderful experience, and the school really interacted with the community. It made me more aware of the connection between schools and the community. It was a wonderful district and the parents treated me very well.� Now back in Vernon, Rundell reflects on what makes this district stand out. “The number of schools we have for our size means you can visit every school in the district easily. It builds that sense of community. The challenge is being creative and innovative and how do we support our student learning? Our students achieve above average provincially — success breeds success.�

District can’t dispose of lands KATHERINE MORTIMER
Morning Star Staff
Once again, the Vernon School District has received bad news from the Ministry of Education. The district has been told it will not be allowed to sell any of its surplus properties, including West Vernon elementary school. And that means the district will have to find another way of coming up with the $2.6 million expected from the sale. Those funds were to be used towards construction of the new Vernon secondary school. The district had been in negotiations with the City of Vernon for West Vernon and with the Vernon and District Association for Community Living for the Dorothy Alexander Centre, behind West Vernon. In a letter to school board chairman Bill Turanski, deputy minister James Gorman suggested the district could borrow up to $2.6 million as part of the Capital Project

Agreement. “The letter outlines that there will be no approval of the sale of surplus assets,” said Turanski. Secretary-treasurer Randy Hoffman said with respect to borrowing the money, the deputy minister is referring to the contract between the board and the ministry that if the property is not sold, the ministry is responsible for the
cost. “Construction is going ahead, and the full cost of the VSS construction is the responsibility of the ministry,” he said. In addition to the West Vernon site, the district had requested approval to dispose of the N’Kwala, Heritage and Lakeridge school sites. “It is government’s strong belief that the
publicly funded school lands acquired by boards of education be retained for public use,” said Gorman in his letter. “The Disposal of Land or Improvement Order was revised in September 2008 to reflect a desire to preserve the capital asset base of the public education system for future school use, particularly in support of emerg-
ing Neighbourhood Learning Centres, full day kindergarten and early learning initiatives, and anticipated return of enrolment growth under the coming years. “Under this new policy direction, boards of education may no longer permanently dispose of school property for non-educational use, except under exceptional circumstances.” Gorman suggests the board may wish to consider continuing its long-term lease arrangements with the City of Vernon and the North Okanagan Regional District for the West Vernon facility and green space; with Community Living for the Dorothy Alexander Centre; with NORD for the use of the N’Kwala and Heritage sites and explore the potential for a long-term lease of the Lakeridge school site with the city.

Challenges exist in school system Continued from A3 As with all school districts, the big challenge is always a lack of funding fueled by declining enrolment, a statistic that isn’t likely to improve for at least five years. “Learning is the core of our business. How do we support our core work and keep our core programs and goals? If we believe that kids learn in a variety of ways, that’s going to be the central challenge before we start increasing enrolment. “More and more kids with learning difficulties are coming into our system. How do we support our teachers? They are skilful, but how do we increase their skills and support them in the work they do?” While born and raised on the Prairies and northern B.C., Rundell said Vernon is now the place she

Water process gains support Push, Pull or Drag Sale! RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Some Vernon politicians are backing a process that could keep a regional function intact. During Wednesday’s North Okanagan Regional District meeting, directors Jack Gilroy, Buffy Baumbrough and Patrick Nicol agreed with a plan to hire consultant Allan NeilsonWelch to lead a review of the Greater Vernon water utility. “The other directors at the Greater Vernon Advisory Baumbrough Committee have a level of comfort with him and his approach,” said Baumbrough of the consultant. “It’s a positive if we can identify an individual we can work with.” The city was seeking to withdraw from water distribution but an arbitrator recently ruled that it can’t walk away from just part of the service. It can now try and leave the entire function (including
supply) or remain within the service. Baumbrough admits her colleagues at city hall may not be pleased with the direction taken by her, Gilroy and Nicol at NORD. “There’s always a chance that could happen. We’ll have to have a discussion at council,” she said. In an attempt to keep the function together, Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, made the motion to hire Neilson-Welch. “By engaging a facilitator we can get to an end point where we can all agree and move on,” he said, adding that the review would be an opportunity for all of the jurisdictions to bring their concerns forward. “If governance is an issue, put it on the table. If Vernon wants complete and total control, put it on the table.” Mike Gavinchuk, BX-Swan Lake director, doesn’t believe the provincial government will allow the city to withdraw from the water function. “Do you expect the minister that appointed the arbitrator to go against him?” said Gavinchuk.
No decision made on Antwerp Springs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The future of the Antwerp Springs water source remains unknown. The North Okanagan Regional District still hasn’t decided if the ground wells in Lavington will ever operate again. “We won’t use them for any purpose in the short-term,” said Rod Kray, engineering general manager. Antwerp Springs was shut down Jan. 13 after contamination was discovered. And on Jan. 21, residents were switched from the ground wells to the Duteau Creek source. After the Ministry of Environment completes its investigation into the source of the contamination, NORD will make a decision on whether the wells remain closed or if they get used for irrigation purposes. One other option may be tapping into the
“We feel it’s unlikely but we don’t want to rule it out.” — Rod Kray wells for public consumption. “We feel it’s unlikely but we don’t want to rule it out,” said Kray.
Beyond trying to determine the source of the contamination, the ministry and the regional district are looking
at how contaminated water got into the wells. “The results to date are inconcclusive,” said Kray. In a related matter, the ministry has issued an order to NORD to close down a well at the Antwerp Springs site that was abandoned in 1999.

Board debates chairman’s land
Morning Star Staff
Vernon believes neighbouring jurisdictions should trust its ability to provide fire dispatch. The City of Vernon will not submit a bid through the North Okanagan Regional District’s request for proposals on operating fire dispatch. And Coun. Jack Gilroy insists other local jurisdictions should simply join the city’s new function under contract. “Everyone knows the costs and the information has been given to them,” he said. Jack Gilroy “We’re going to run dispatch whether they come or not.” The city is seeking permission from NORD to withdraw from the regional function because it claims technological standards for large communities aren’t being met. However, the regional district has decided to pursue tenders to determine the best route to go. “We will do a proposal call and see what the options are. The city could provide the service,”

said Greg Betts, administrator. Some officials are not happy with the city not participating in the process. “If Vernon is not going to submit a proposal, how do we compare what to what?” said Doug Dirk, Coldstream director. That is also the view from Spallumcheen director Will Hansma. “I want to compare apples to apples,” said Hansma, adding, though, that he sees benefits to contracting out to Vernon. “There is value in having a local component to this. There is an at-home component (local dispatch knowledge) when we’re making the call to them.” The city is currently the contractor under the NORD function, and Gilroy says that should be reason enough for the other communities to back Vernon’s plans. “We’ve run dispatch from day one,” he said.

“We’re finding access to the river with parking is a huge issue for us,” she said. Director Rick Fairbairn pointed out that an existing road goes down to the river and will provide parking for boating. “This is a natural fit for what’s happening in the area.” However, there was also stiff opposition to sending the application to the ALC. “This is a loss of prime agricultural land,” said director Buffy Baumbrough. Director Doug Dirk questioned the process. “Proper planning would identify where you want boat access and a park and not first-come, first serve (with subdivision proposals),” he said. There was also a concern that other property owners along the river may pursue subdivision. “We are probably setting a precedent,” said director Will Hansma. The ALC will make the final decision on whether the property is removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

✄
North Okanagan Regional District politicians insist a land use decision wasn’t influenced by the fact that it involved one of their own. In a 7-5 vote Wednesday, directors voted to send an Agricultural Land Reserve exclusion application to the Agricultural Land Commission for consideration. The application was made by Herman Halvorson, NORD chairman and rural Enderby director. “You treat him like everyone else,” said director Dee Wejr of the process staff and the board followed in reviewing the application. Halvorson, who left the room during board debate, wants to create one lot out of his 7.7 acres on Foxwood Road in Grindrod, while also dedicating a portion of land for park along the Shuswap River. NORD staff had recommended against sending the exclusion application to the ALC. “We can’t offer staff support for this because it’s in the ALR,” said Rob Smailes, planning and building general manager. However, a majority of the board opted to go against the staff recommendation and forward the proposal to the provincial agency. “The impact on agriculture will be minimal. There is limited farm potential,” said director Eugene Foisy. Wejr supports the bid because it would create more greenspace in the Enderby area.

A complicated loss
T
here was a woman who dreamed a dream. It was small as far as dreams go in this world, but for her, it was the largest one she had ever dared to dream in her little life. If dreams can be realized by determination, endurance and sacrifice, then she thought she could do it. Why not? That’s how dreams are done, isn’t it? The dream was to take part in the Ascent for Alzheimer’s trek on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in September. It was a way to honour her mother, who had died of Alzheimer’s disease years ago, and to help raise money for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to help other families. She had it all planned, the bank account to pay all her own expenses for the Cara Brady trip was growing, people were encouraging her with help for training and donations and general good wishes. She was so excited about it that, uncharacteristically, she told everyone who would listen. She read about Africa and went to exercise classes and went on long walks and ignored the warning symptoms until she couldn’t any longer. When the doctor said the trip would not be possible for her, she went home and cried and didn’t tell anyone. She felt like she had failed herself and others before she had even started. The dream was a loss too big to think about immediately. It was not only the loss of the chance to help where it was needed and have an adventure, but about losses common to the human condition — the loss of being able to depend on her body to do what she wanted it to, the reminder of past losses, the loss of future dreams and now having to admit this to people. The world seemed black. In a society that values winning and achieving above all else, where “losing is not in our vocabulary,” where there is the common belief that if anyone sets their mind to reach any goal and if they work hard enough and/or are good enough and are positive enough, they will triumph, (if you don’t achieve what you set out to do, it is, of course, your own fault for not believ-
AT RANDOM
ing hard enough), it is not easy to admit to any kind of failure. This woman thought about all the people who do achieve and appreciated that having dreams, goals and objectives of all kinds is a necessary part of society and civilization and that countless important things have been done and she has benefitted from them in many ways. Then she wondered about the other people who had not reached goals and dreams. Life is full of loss — the inevitable losses of time that mean people leave our lives, through moving away, misunderstanding or death, the loss of employment, loss in various kinds of competition and other endeavours, loss for friendship, loss of possessions, reputation, selfrespect, health, other losses that add up, like accidents, unexpected expenses, bad news for family or friends, betrayal, and despair at what is happening in the larger world that leaves us feeling discouraged and helpless. Still, dreams are realized every day, people have babies, get the job, graduate, buy a house, meet new friends, reunite with estranged family and friends, learn new skills, get the award or the promotion, see their children happy and healthy, get good news from the doctor, make someone else’s life better, or have the quiet satisfaction that they have done their best doing what has to be done. Can something good come from loss? In many cases, no, at least nothing that is immediately apparent. In some cases, yes. Almost anyone can tell a story about something that did not go as planned but lead to a greater and unexpected good. Could, thought this woman who was not going to be doing any mountain trekking in September or ever, something good come of this disappointment? Was it better to learn about a medical condition sooner rather than in a remote situation where help would be limited? Would the experience somehow mean more to the person taking her place on the team? Could she ever be interested in anything again? Could she still make a contribution somewhere? Then she noticed that the sun was shining and the sky was blue, the green grass was starting to grow again and there was a red dog who wanted to go for a walk.
Full credit must go to Vernon councillors Buffy Baumbrough, Jack Gilroy and Patrick Nicol for supporting a plan that could end a dispute that’s been costly and could leave regional co-operation in shambles. And while the other North Okanagan Regional District directors that voted to hire a consultant to lead a water utility review deserve praise, the Vernon trio stuck their necks out because it’s the city that has tried to leave parts of the function. Any shift away from that is a radical departure from a long-standing policy. Also, finding an individual that all Greater Vernon partners can work with makes sense, particularly because maintaining a unified water utility will benefit the public no matter what jurisdiction they live in. Millions of dollars have been spent by all taxpayers to improve the service, and lines stretch through all neighbourhoods. We’re so intertwined when it comes to water that a divorce would be messy. However, if this review is to work all sides must come to the table in an atmosphere of openness and honesty. Put your concerns on the table while checking your egos at the door. It should be noted, though, that Baumbrough, Gilroy and Nicol are only three members of Vernon council and their colleagues may not support the process the trio agreed to. But that would only send the message that the city’s NORD representation is hollow. A commitment to the review has been made and the city, and particularly Mayor Wayne Lippert who was missing from NORD Wednesday, should stick to it. And that means actually trying to find some middle ground and remembering that the public’s interest must be the top priority.

It's well worth the price
T
he price to be paid for a new beach in Greater Vernon is worth every penny. I would bet that if fellow citizens were polled on what they value most about living in Vernon, the vast majority would say the opportunity for outdoor recreation. We live in one of the most beautiful places on God’s green earth! Summer for people who live in the Okanagan means going to the beach. Our beaches are among our most valuable community treasures. If anyone visits our beaches on most weekends in the summer they will discover them packed with families, seniors, and teenagers enjoying the sand and water. Kal Beach this summer was at capacity on numerous sunny days with hundreds of people soaking up the sun. The newest beach on Kal Lake, Sovereign Beach, has been discovered by many whom now enjoy its shady trees and cool clear water. Yet soon enough the nay sayers will start challenging the cost. “How can we justify spending millions on a
beach?”, they will cry. Yet, I expect that if anyone placed a market value on Kal Beach, Paddlewheel Park beach, or Jade Bay beach any of these properties would also be worth tens of millions of dollars. I pity the fool who suggests that we sell any of these beaches. They would be tarred and feathered, then run out of town! Once the Lakeshore Beach is completed, our community will certainly feel as strongly about its recreational value as it does about our other beaches. Our beaches are summer trea-
Editor's Note: The letter Tipping Point in Wednesday's edition was written by Judy Stockdale. HST HISTORY LESSON Just the very phrase, “No taxation without representation,” brings to mind visions of angry colonists rioting in the streets of Boston, throwing tea into the harbour. The issue at stake, which led to the American Revolution, was the difference between actual representation versus virtual representation. The American colonists argued that in order to be taxed by Parliament, they should have voted on and selected their own legislators to sit and represent them in Parliament. The British, however, believed in the idea of virtual representation, meaning that the members of Parliament virtually represented every member of the empire, and therefore no specific representation was needed. In reality, the colonists didn’t want to be taxed by Parliament at all, but rather to have the ability to run their own affairs. They fought for their rights... and won. As Canadians, we enjoy the privilege of having a democratically elected government. That being said, I cannot but help to see a parallel of today’s politics with the mistakes of the past. In theory, we, the people of Canada, have representation in our governing
sures that we all can enjoy but, more importantly, they are treasures that we bequeath to future generations. I have no idea who created Kal Beach, or Kin Beach or who worked to have Jade Bay preserved in Kal Provincial Park. I suspect that these folks have passed on, yet they still enjoy our gratitude for developing these natural community spaces. Our community would not be what it is today without their commitment and vision. Much has been done in the last few years by those currently expanding the recreational treasures along the shores
body. So why does it feel like we don’t? Why is it that those officials that we’ve elected to represent us, fail to listen to their constituents as soon as they take office? I fully understand that you cannot please all people all the time. But when a large majority of people speak out as to their wishes regarding specific issues, why are they overruled or ignored? As proponents of the HST tax try to railroad this burden onto the backs of British Columbians, they must stop and listen to the message we are saying loud and clear. No. We don't want this tax. Can we say it any clearer than that? We are sick and tired of the lies, deceit, and broken promises our elected officials dish out and expect us to swallow. We don’t believe that it will save us money. We don’t believe that businesses will “pass on the savings to us.” We don't believe you! D. Coleman NEED MORE VOICES When I first learned of the prorogation of Parliament I was stunned. Here we have, for a second time, a Prime Minister who makes a mockery of our democratic institutions. Yes, it's true that prorogations are constitutional, but to be used in the manner that Stephen Harper is means he has nothing but contempt for our elected representatives. I remember a time when I used to admire Harper for his firm stance
of our lakes. Last year, Foster Road Beach Park (follow Tronson road and near the point you’ll see Foster Road) was developed with a small paved parking lot, picnic tables, and access to a small gravel beach with cool deep clear water. Some even fish off the rocks at this small park. The previous year, a picnicking area and parking was developed at Whitepoint Road. There are tables set amid a beautiful shady stand of pines, a tiny beach and a view of Okanagan Lake which is nothing short of spectacular! Whitepoint Road is just before Camp Hurlburt on Eastside Road. On behalf of those who love going to the beach, I would like to thank Al McNiven and the Okanagan Regional District for their good work on expanding the recreational opportunities for our communities. We look forward to the completion of Lakeshore Beach and its addition to North Okanagan’s summer recreational treasures. James Love
on freedom for all MP's, less whipped votes and more accountable and transparent government. It's funny what power can do. Four years after his first minority election we have none of the things he promised; no elected senate (in fact, he's now appointed 14 senators), few if any free votes for his own MPs, no accountability and no transparency. In the meantime, he slashes the budgets of officers of parliament whose jobs are to keep track of government spending, and he also refuses to lengthen tenures of officials overseeing important committees. He does this because too much oversight might mean a political cost to the government. Harper's government is a government of one. He has left his reform roots behind and has embraced neo-conservatism. It's shameful and it's undeserving of a public who should feel represented by their government. It's small wonder that the voting percentage shrinks with each voting year. Shame on Harper and shame on his MP's who allow him to run roughshod over our democratic processes. Partisan politics is distasteful and sinister and it's about time that the people had more say in their government. Ryan Painter Canadians Against Proroguing ParliamentVernon Chapter
THANK YOU I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the unknown lady who called 911 and Marcus Teichroeb with Vernon Taxi, they both took time out of their busy morning schedule and made sure that my daughter and I were OK after our vehicle rolled over on 11th Ave on Jan.19. It is great to have people like them in our community, who are ready to help others in need. A. Yacovelli

Kindergarten classes fill up
“Proudly Independent — Locally Owned ed & Operated” by Butcher Boys Ent. Ltd.
KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
With eight elementary schools making the switch to full-day kindergarten in the fall, the Vernon School District is on track with registration. At Tuesday’s district board meeting, superintendent Bev Rundell said enrolment for the 2010/11 school year is projected at 540 kindergarten students. “So far, we have 462 registered, so that’s a really good indication that people are getting the message,” she said. “It’s still early, but as we look at this with our principals, we’ll have a better indication about where we’re at with full-day kindergarten.” The full-day program will run every school day at Alexis Park, Cherryville, Ellison, Harwood, JW Inglis, Lavington, Mission Hill and Okanagan Landing. So far, 229 students are registered for full-day kindergarten, with priority given to students living in the catchment areas for those schools. The Ministry of Education will provide funding for about 314 full-day students. Kindergarten will be offered on alternating school days, full day, at BX, Coldstream, Hillview, Kidston and Silver Star, with the same schedule offered to French immersion kindergarten students at Harwood and Beairsto. Director of instruction Joe Rogers said students who wish to transfer to another school in September, in any grade, had until Feb. 15 to make a transfer
“The schools with the most vulnerable children will get the seats first.” — Joe Rogers application. There may be parents who wish to enrol their children in full day kindergarten but find that it is not offered in their catchment school. If that is the case, they need to make a transfer request “We’ve had 60 transfer requests in, and 60 out for kindergarten,” he said. “So we’ll go through every school and check the transfer list, and we’ll have to look through each one. The schools with the most vulnerable children will get the seats first.” Government legislation states that schools must ensure that there is adequate space for those students living in a particular school’s catchment area. The district can’t begin to approve transfer requests until it is determined there is enough space for those students actually living in the catchment area. In some cases, schools have been deemed to be full because both current enrolment numbers and past history indicates there will be no space available for non-catchment area students. The district will inform families in the spring if their transfer request has been approved.

Parents push back on cuts MARTHA WICKETT Black Press
Enough is enough. Members of the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District’s District Parent Advisory Council are fed up with provincial government cuts to education funding and have begun a campaign to help parents spread their message. DPAC co-chair Andrea Pyle notes that the government continues to say it is increasing education funding, but that’s not the reality for school districts that must continually cut. “They can’t keep saying that anymore, we don’t buy it. They can’t keep up the rhetoric.” The DPAC has created a postcard with the help of designer Louise Wallace that shows a brain dissected with dotted lines. The lines border areas such as math, geography, history, science, arts and literacy. The caption at the bottom asks: “Which cuts do you recommend we make to our children’s education?” Pyle and DPAC treasurer Gena Giandomenico say they want parents – and all community members – to join them by filling out and sending in the postcards, which are addressed to Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid, care of Shuswap MLA George Abbott. “We thought it’s time for parents to get more

vocal and make a cohesive, concerted effort. We have to fight for our kids,” said Giandomenico. They would ultimately like to see the postcard campaign spread provincewide. “It’s not just about parents and students – it’s about government getting its priorities straight,” said Pyle. “This really is our future.” They point out that the district secretary-treasurer has been able to make adjustments and cuts in the past to make up for shortfalls, but there’s nothing left to cut. They note that dramatic changes to the busing schedule as well as school closures are what the district now must do. They note the district boasts many dedicated groups who work well together to make it run well, yet the district is still facing a $1.6 million shortfall. The parent advisory councils notice that they are no longer raising money for “fun” things, but more and more for education basics. “There’s just no more fat to trim,” says Pyle, encouraging everyone to take part in the postcard campaign. “If this keeps up, the province will spend further money,” predicts Giandomenico, noting studies show that when populations don’t have access to a good education, factors such as health care and crime rates go up. The postcards will go home in sealed envelopes.

Jobs on chopping block for district LEAH BLAIN Black Press
The bad news is overpowering the good news during budget discussions at the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. On the good news front, secretary-treasurer Bruce Hunt said the province decided to reimburse school districts the PST portion of the HST. However, with other costing done, Hunt says it looks like their deficit will be over $1.6 million instead of the earlier prediction of $1.4 million. With 190 fewer students, the district will
lose over $1 million in revenue. It would cut the corresponding number of teaching jobs – eight, as well as cuts to special education, clerical, custodial and school supplies. In total these reductions are $942,000. However, with increased costs in several other areas, it still needs to cut $1.6 million. Hunt said when there are this many dollars to cut, it will include major changes. Bobbi Johnson, board chairwoman, said the cuts “will hurt.” In the past the district has held specific
public budget meetings but they haven’t been well-attended. Instead, this year the trustees will visit local parent advisory committees and the district parent advisory committee. “We would really like to get the parents’ point of view and in the past

News Fintry finalizing new look JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Efforts to restore the historic buildings in Fintry Provincial Park on Westside Road continue this winter with the focus now on the original staff quarters building for the manor house. It initially contained three sleeping rooms for the butler, the cook and a maid, explained Friends of Fintry director Sandy Welbourn. Each of the private rooms had its own entrance off the covered porch that ran the length of the building, and each had its own small fireplace and an overhead electric light supplied with power by the Fintry Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own power generation, using a Pelton wheel driven by Shorts Creek high above the delta. Fintryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic buildings are the legacy of James Cameron DunWaters, also known as the Laird of Fintry, who immigrated from his home in Scotland to
R
settle in the Okanagan in the early days of the last century. He constructed a granite manor house, an octagonal dairy barn and brought in such innovations as power and phone which serviced those who lived on the delta of land created by Shorts Creek. The Friends of Fintry have retained Rob Kuffert of Too Tall Construction, who is restoring the staff quarters building to its original state, after removing several layers of morerecent additions to the structure. Original building materials being used include exterior stucco, lath and plaster walls on the interior, and replication of the three original windows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is yet another positive result coming from the success of the ongoing partnership the Friends of Fintry enjoy with B.C.

Parents enjoy Olympics JUDY AND BEN HOY Special to the Morning Star
The Petro Canada bus picked us up at 7 a.m., complete with box lunches for the trip to Cypress. Just another thoughtful deed to make this a “once in a lifetime experience.” The weather co-operated too. The day began with qualifying runs – Drew did very well. Then, in the first set of heats – again Drew performed well. Unfortunately, the next heat came with a crash. The snow was getting softer and he got a little off on the side and as he said “he just buried his board and lost balance.” Now, the crashing of emotions. What was Drew thinking? Was he wondering if we were still proud of him, even though he didn’t podium? We didn’t have to wait long to find out. We looked up and there he was making his way through the stands toward us. We had a good long hug, telling him how proud we were. He was just fine! “Mom,” he said, “that is the nature of the sport.” In the next minute we were all swept up in cheering for Canadian Mike Robertson, who eventually won the silver medal. After signing numerous autographs for fans who were sitting around us, Drew was off bounding up the bleachers to be with his family. Later on that day, we received a call from Amy, Drew’s wife. She told us that when she arrived home, there was a large sign on their garage “We Love You

Drew” and it was signed by all their neighbours in North Vancouver. How good is that. We have been asked several times by the media if we are disappointed. Of course, the ultimate would be to have him podium – it would have been the icing on the cake for Drew’s wonderful career. He has won every major event worldwide with the exception of the Olympic Games. He holds a record of three consecutive World Cup race wins and the World Cup’s top award – the Crystal Globe in 2007. Few people have ever competed in one Olympics – Drew has competed in two, and you ask if we are disappointed – absolutely not!! We are extremely proud of Drew’s accomplishments. Again, our many, many, thanks to Petro Canada for their Canadian Athlete Family Program. What a ride!!!!

Vipers look to clinch league title Black Press Sports
The Vernon Vipers can wrap up first place in the B.C. Hockey League with a win over the Salmon Arm SilverBacks tonight at the Sunwave Centre. If not, they’ll have two more cracks at clinching that all-important first-round playoff bye as they visit the Westside Warriors Saturday night at Royal LePage Place before hosting the Surrey Eagles in a Sunday matinee at Wesbild Centre for their final regularseason game. The 48-6-0-3 Vipers earned a three-point cushion atop the standings with a 3-2 overtime win over the second-place Penticton Vees Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. First star Kellen Jones (12th) rushed up the left wing in OT and snuck a sharp-angle wrist shot between Vees’ goalie Sean Bonar and the post for the winner before 2,323 fans. “I’m sure he (Bonar) would want to have that one back,” grinned Jones, who played with the Penticton keeper at the World Junior A Challenge last November in Summerside, P.E.I. Added Bonar, who made 27 saves: “I definitely wanted it back. He just made a good shot. He beat me low blocker. I should have been quicker to my post.” A constant string of penalties called by Andrew Guest seemed to stymie any physicality between the two clubs. Penticton (46-8-04) went 1-for-8 on the powerplay, while the Vipers were 0-for-5. “Our team worked really hard on the penalty kill,” said Kellen. “It really upsets the flow of the game but we just clawed our way

It was a great way to win. “I think the bye will help us a lot, so these are big games coming up. We need a win for sure.” Penticton’s Alex Szczechura (27th) opened the scoring with the extra man at 8:47 of the first period, tapping home the rebound off Garrett Milan’s shot from the slot.
“Once we do (get chances), finishing our chances on any team is going to be key through the playoffs,” said Milan. “You’re not going to get as many chances, it will be a tighter game defensively against whoever you play.” Despite the loss, Milan said the Vees still have confidence they can be successful against their rivals.
“We still have eight of 14 points against them,” said Milan of their 3-1-0-2 record. “We won the season series against them. All of the games have been close. We definitely aren’t scared of them.” After a scoreless second period, Sahir Gill, with his first goal since rejoining the Vipers in January (scoresheet credits Cory Kane), bounced a shot off a body in front of Bonar to equalize for Vernon early in the third frame. The Vees’ Bo Dolan restored Penticon’s lead after Eric Filiou won a faceoff back to the blueliner, who picked the top corner through traffic to beat Blake Voth (23 saves). The Vipers’ David Robinson forced overtime with his 11th goal (scoresheet credits Jones), a backhander that redirected past Bonar. Vees’ head coach Fred Harbinson liked his team’s effort, noting there wasn’t much they could do about the two redirected goals. “I thought we played hard,” said Harbinson, noting his team battled with three lines as captain Denver Manderson is still out with a lower body injury. “It was a high tempo game. We know we will be fine. We had a good series.” Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner was happy to come out of Penticton’s barn with two points. The Vees have lost at home just three times in regulation, and twice in overtime, all season. “We just needed to get pucks to the net,” said Ferner. “Guys were focused to play within the system. Obviously it’s still a race for first overall. We haven’t had tons of success against Penticton other than the last two games. Morally it was a good victory.”
Gardner posts last-rock victory to wrap up regular season Morning Star Staff
Jon Gardner (Sladen Moore) made an open hit on his final stone to earn a 5-4 win over Darren Heath (Line-X) in Capri Insurance Super League play Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. Heath, stepping up to skip for Wayne Laface (12-6), had a chance to guard shot rock, but his final stone picked. After allowing a deuce in one, and trading singles in two and three, Gardner (9-9) counted a deuce in four and stole one in five. He blanked the seventh end to retain the hammer in the final end. In a battle for second place (and a first-round playoff bye), T.J. Perepolkin (Branding Iron/Royal York) pulled off a tricky double to count three in the seventh end to double Ty Griffith (Nufloors) 6-3. Throwing Olympic-like percentages, the two rinks were forced to make countless hits and draws against multiple points. They swapped singles over the first six ends.
Perepolkin improved to 14-4, while Griffith dipped to 12-6. Jim Cotter (Brown’s Stone & Garden) needed just four ends to seal first place in the Super League with a 6-0 win over the Inspiration Homes rink, who were without skip Sherry Heath. After pocketing a single in the first end, Cotter (16-2) exploded for four points in the second end and stole another in the third to force early handshakes. The Heath crew finished at 7-11. A single steal in the first end jumpstarted Ron McDougall (IRL Collision/Armstrong Optometry) to a 7-1 win over Jenn Gerow (A&W). Gerow (4-14) responded with a single in two, but McDougall (10-8) stormed back with three straight singles followed by a three-ender in the six. Kayla Gunner (Armstrong Inn) got the start she wanted by couldn’t hold on as Blake Kimura (Village Green Hotel)
NUFLOORS WILL BE CLOSING OUR DOORS … BUT
rallied for a 13-4 win. Gunner (2-16) fired deuces in the first and third ends, but Kimura (4-14) posted a triple in two, and ended with 10 points over four ends to put the game away. The McDougall rink (third Heather Kyllo, second Scott Kyllo and lead Val McDougall) open the mixed regional playdowns today at the Kamloops Curling Club. Other Vernon rinks competing include Gardner (third Kayla Gunner, second Mike Longworth and lead Melissa Moen) and Perepolkin (third Terri Bublitz, second Jason Wizniak and lead Carol Martel). Meanwhile, Kimura is teaming up with third Gary Marsh, second Robert Davidson and lead Jerry Asao to compete at the B.C. mixed masters championships, March 1-7 in Grand Forks. Vernon skip Ann Johnson, supported by third Shirley Sawchyn, second Irene Houle and lead Doreen Brown, is also competing.

Vipers shine in Portland Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Breakaway Fitness Tier 1 Vipers went 3-1 at the President’s Cup Classic Hockey Tournament last weekend in Portland. They were a tiebreaker away from reaching the final. It took half a game for the Breakaway boys to get their offence rolling in their opener, but they finished with a flurry, pounding the Spokane Jr. Chiefs 6-0. Jed Soleway, on a pass from Jerod Baredregt, opened the scoring. Curtis Hagen, assisted by Devon Hascarl and Thomas Swales, added another with 6:46 left in the second. Goals by Soleway, Mat Lambert, Brett Hawrys and Hascarl capped the Viper onslaught. Hascarl, on a 2-on1 feed from Hawrys, collected the Vipers’ lone goal in a 5-1 loss Saturday to the Boise Steelheads. Boise went on to fall 3-2 to the Port Coquitlam Pirates in the gold-medal game. Vernon took their frustrations out on the Puget Sound Tomahawks Sunday morning, thrashing the Seattle squad 10-0. Lambert took a slick pass from Darcy Schenkenveld to score just 83 seconds in. Jake Soleway added a pair of goals shortly after, assists to Hagen, Lambert and Hawrys. Hascarl picked the corner to round off Vernon’s first-period scoring. Thomas Swales went on a solo mission 45 seconds into the second frame, going top corner.

Hagen added another at 8:25. Hascarl, Shenkenveldt and Lambert, with a pair, completed the scoring. The finale was slightly anticlimactic for the Breakaway crew, as the Seattle Sno Kings had to forfeit their final game due to injuries. Meanwhile, Brennan Seltzer netted the winner with one minute remaining as the Five Star Awards Warriors closed their Pee Wee Super League regular season by icing the Vernon Interior Savings Phantoms 5-4. Brooke Toop and first star Kobe Romanovitch drew assists. Down 2-0 after 20 minutes, the Warriors battled back with a second-period marker from Joe Tronson. The Phantoms restored the two-goal cushion in the third before Romanovitch scored to rekindle the comeback. The Phantoms scored again to make it 4-2, but the Warriors equalized on goals by Romanovitch and
Hannah Scherck. The Vernon Authentic Plaque and Trophy Bantam Hitmen built an early lead to ground the Lumby Stars 5-3 Saturday. Leading 3-0 lead at the half, the hard-working Stars battled back to make a game of it, but the Hitmen held their ground. The Hitmen offence was led by Chad Woodhead and Garrett Dansereau, who pocketed two goals each. Chris Gallant added a single. The Vernon Red Bulls sealed first place in the Bantam Super League with a tie and a win last weekend. The Red Bulls settled for a 2-2 tie with the Vernon Blazers Saturday at Wesbild Centre. Tic-tac-toe passing from Chad Lindenbach to Russell Day set up Brennan Martin to start the scoring. Defenceman Russel Negraiff went on an end-to-end rush, firing a superb backhander past

Phil Wilson handled Denny’s scoring, both assists going to Travis Webster. The Bulls’ Brock Wagner potted the winner, while Lindenbach and Day collected a trio of helpers each.

Sports SPORTS BRIEFS MMA swings back into Vernon Mixed martial arts is back for another round in Vernon as Extreme Fighting Challenge 9 is slated to go Saturday, April 17 at the Vernon Curling Club. Following the success of two previous XFC events, both sellouts at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium, promoter Bill (The Butcher) Mahood chose to move the card to a bigger venue. “This move will increase our capacity by 500 seats and allow a little more space for better production,” said Mahood, a former Ultimate Fighting Championship competitor. Mahood expects the card will have four or five amateur matches, and five or six pro fights, all of which will be sanctioned by the Vernon Athletic Commission. Interested fighters and/or gyms can contact Mahood by calling (604) 996-7571, or e-mailing fightclubca@shaw.ca.

Hill hauls in Top Achiever award It was an awards event Kevin Hill probably didn’t mind missing, considering the circumstances. While the 23-year-old Vernon product was busy acting as a forerunner for the Canadian men’s snowboard cross team at the Vancouver Olympics, he was being honoured at the 2010 Community Sport Hero Awards in Kelowna. Hill, who is also a pro BMX racer, earned the Sport Heroes Athlete Top Achiever Award for his contributions to the two sports. Accepting the award on Hill’s behalf was his father Don, who attended the reception with wife Arleigh. Both parents are active competitors with the Vernon BMX Club. “It was an awesome reception, a great way to meet and mingle with volunteers, athletes and service providers in the Okanagan sport community that we might not have been aware of,” said Don.
Thunder roll ninth in season opener The Vernon Volleyball Club’s U18 Thunder opened the girls club season with a ninth-place finish at the first B.C. Super Series event last weekend in Kelowna. The Thunder, coached by Pat Neilson and Chris Bannick, entered the year ranked No. 16, but jumped up the rankings with the solid result. The Vernon crew opened with an impressive upset over White Rock’s Seaside (25-17, 16-25, 15-12) before falling to eventual third-place winners, Focus Kaboom of Vancouver (14-25, 22-25). The Thunder finished the round robin with a narrow loss to Vancouver BCO (25-17, 23-25, 13-15) to take third in their pool. On Sunday, the Thunder fell in straight sets to Mill Bay Tsunami (19-25, 15-25), but responded with a win over Prince George Kodiaks (25-21, 25-23). Right side player Chaylee Ross led the Thunder with kills thanks to some solid setting by Andrea Marshall and Nicole Mintz.

Snowpack levels concerning provincial government WOLF DEPNER Black Press
Okanagan residents should prepare themselves to make some tough decisions about water usage in the future, says the minister of the environment. Barry Penner made that appeal after the release of new figures which show that local snowpacks are once again below normal in the Okanagan. Depending on the location in the valley, snowpack levels are between 15 and 35 per cent below normal due to declining precipitation levels, said Penner. Six to eight weeks remain to build up a sufficient amount of snow in the upper elevations to ensure adequate water supplies for the summer. But Mother Nature â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has not co-operated so far â&#x20AC;&#x201D; continues to interfere. Melting at the lower levels is ahead of schedule, while higher levels are not accumulating enough snow, said Penner, who blames a moderate to strong El Nino for the current situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this is disrupting our weather pattern.â&#x20AC;? This disruption will become obvious this summer as Penner says several major regional rivers are expected to experience challenging water flows. Overall, the current situation fits the more recent pattern. Nine out of the last 10 years have been the driest on record. More importantly, the recent spell of less-than-average snowpack levels is changing the calculated average of what is normal. Snowpack levels that are below the norm are threatening to become the new norm, said Penner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new normal will be a drier normal, unfortunately.â&#x20AC;? Penner said this longterm trend towards drier conditions concerns the government, because it coincides with growing demands for water as the provincial population is set to grow by 1.4 million in the next 25 years. Such conflicting
demands came to a head when the provincial government ordered a ranch-
er in the Merritt area to stop drawing water from the Nicola River because
of long-term drought conditions under the B.C. Water Act.
Questions around water rights and management will likely con-
tinue to generate interest as the government has launched a review of
the act to make it more responsive to the modern realities and needs.

6IENNA "OYS SING HISTORY TO LIFE Morning Star Staff
History and youth are about to be celebrated when one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and youngest â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; choirs visits the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Feb. 27. The 26 young men, ages 10 to 14, who make up the Vienna Boys Mozartchor, selected for this current tour, are singing in 37 concerts across the U.S. and Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are traveling through 11 states, plus we will spend about a week in Canada,â&#x20AC;? said choir member Jacob (no last name given.) Jacob, who just turned 14 and is a veteran of seven tours with the Vienna Boys, has already travelled to various European, South American and Asian nations, including the most recent in Korea, and last visited North America in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a winter tour, and we were mainly on the East Coast. Now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend quite a bit of time in the west, in California, in Oregon, in Washington, and in Canada, in British Columbia. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see things I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen before. Plus, you notice more things as you get older,â&#x20AC;? he said. Jacob is just one of thousands of young men who have sung with the choir since its inception in the early 15th century when Roman Emperor Maximilian I moved his court and his court musician to Vienna, Austria and gave instructions that there were to be six singing boys among his musicians. The choir sang exclusively for the imperial court, at mass, at private concerts and functions, and on state occasions until 1918. After the breakdown of the Habsburg Empire, Josef Schnitt, who became dean of the Imperial Chapel in 1921, established the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choir as a private institution. Their imperial uniform was replaced by the sailor suit, then the height of boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fashion which they still wear today, and the choir started to give concerts outside of the chapel, perform-

Together with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna State Opera Chorus, the Vienna Boys Choir maintains the tradition of the imperial musicians. As Hofmusikkapelle, they provide the music for the Sunday mass in Viennaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imperial Chapel, as they have done since 1498. Today there are around 100 choristers
divided into four touring choirs, who give around 300 concerts and performances each year in front of almost half a million people. Each group spends nine to 11 weeks of the school year on tour. They visit virtually all European countries, and they are frequent guests in Asia, Australia and the Americas. The choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repertoire includes everything from medieval to contemporary and experimental music. Motets and lieder for
boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choir form the core of the touring repertoire, as do the choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own arrangements of quintessentially Viennese music, waltzes and polkas by Strauss, Lanner, and Lehar. The boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program on this North American tour contains something for everybody, says choir member Shintaro, who is originally from Tokyo, but now speaks with a Viennese lilt in his German. He likes Jacobus Gallusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; early motet Regnum mundi, with its contemplative text by medieval philosopher Johannes Tauler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about focussing on God.â&#x20AC;? The choir will also perform a song about Apache chief Geronimo, which has been turned into a nine-part choral piece by Vienna Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; artistic director Gerald Wirth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will perform it in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in March. I expect that will be special,â&#x20AC;? said choir member Phillip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an old Apache medicine song, and Geronimo, who was a medicine man, used to perform it. He said he could shift shape, and he drew the shape he assumed while he was chanting this piece.â&#x20AC;? The choir will also perform Erasmus Widmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jocular ditty about flea bites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fleas carried the plague,â&#x20AC;? said member Christian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that then. They just thought it was funny when people had to scratch themselves.â&#x20AC;? Michael (one of two boys named Michael in the choir) is very taken with the selection of pieces from Curt Faudonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silk Road movie, the Indian bhajan Jog.wa, and the Pakistani qawwali Haq Ali. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very rhythmical and fast, and we get to play the drums,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Vienna Boys Choir starts its performance at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Feb. 27 at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $32.50 at the Ticket Seller.

Neale’s sound goes from gravelly growl to a sweet falsetto, and his commitment allows him to get inside a song, with Jacksoul providing sympathetic arrangements. 911 carries social concerns along on a slinky beat-driven track that makes the most of Neale’s lilting delivery. This song, and Do It To Me are curious, captivating pieces whose

Johnston (Jumanji, Hidalgo) is an ambitious filmmaker, and its his gift at creating wild, mood-setting visuals that saves The Wolfman. From the fog-shrouded trees to the damp, dark castles, this is the kind of movie you don’t only look at, but you feel. And that makes it especially sad when the less-than-spectacular computer effects run rampant and bloody up the art direction.

The Central Okanagan School District has reaffirmed its opposition to a report by the Fraser Institute ranking individual schools throughout the province. The issue was raised because of a letter from the Central Okanagan Teachers Association. COTA called the rankings unfair and said that no matter the rankings each school in the district is providing a solid learning environment for kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In those schools that are ranked lowly, if you went into them you would find them to be wonderfully nurturing places for kids,â&#x20AC;? said Alice Rees, COTA president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When some outside agency whose clear and stated goal is to privatize everything, starts ranking public schools on one data source and tries to convince people in our community that some of our schools arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as good as others, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our opinion thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very odious thing to do.â&#x20AC;? Board trustees agreed and although they have taken a public position on the rankings in the past,

passed a motion saying the results shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used to publicly rank schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the Fraser Institute using (schools) as part of its propaganda,â&#x20AC;? said trustee Moyra Baxter. The Fraser Institute uses whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a FSA test given to kids in Grade 4 and 7 to rank schools around the province. The teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s union says the Fraser Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rankings are not a true idea of what happens in local schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all work to ensure any school in the district that a child walks into has all of the necessary requirements so that every child in any school has a wonderful opportunity to achieve highly in our system,â&#x20AC;? said Rees.

Kids invited to experience the fun of flying BY RANDY RAUCK Special to The Morning Star
The Vernon Flying Club members will host a COPA for Kids Free Fly Day April 10, volunteering their time, aircraft and fuel, to introduce young people to the thrill and excitement of flying. This is a new program, launched by The Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) in 2009, and invites kids, ages seven to 17 to experience a flight in a light aircraft from the Vernon Airport. The COPA for Kids program has been created as a Canada-only program for COPA flights and is similar to and has been inspired by an equivalent program in the United States and around the world called Young Eagles, which was created by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Aviation Foundation in 1992. While COPA is not associated with the EAA Young Eagles Program, both EAA and COPA applaud each other’s efforts to involve young people in aviation, and each organization offers their members their own way to demonstrate the wonders of flight to young people. These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of Vernon Flying Club/COPA Flight 65 member volunteers. It will all start with several short and informative aviation ground briefings delivered by COPA Kids co-ordinator and VFC member/UL Flight Instructor Randy Rauck at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. April 10. Flying should begin around 9 a.m. for the first group and around 11 a.m. for the second group, while the air is calm and smooth. If for some reason the weather does not cooperate, the flying will be April 11. Last year nearly 100 COPA Kids got up in the air for a thrilling experience of flight around Vernon and area! The VFC volunteer pilots will give a pre-flight briefing at the plane and will explain how their plane operates. Once you are ready to go flying, your pilot will help you buckle your seat belt and describe the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel. Pretty soon, it will be time to go flying for about 20 minutes. Once in the air, you’ll see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way. You’ll experience the wonderful freedom of flight that many people only dream about. If you are like most COPA Kids, you’ll remember this experience

Some will go on to become pilots and help keep general aviation vibrant and fun. Once back on the ground, there will be a free barbecue for the junior aviators provided by the Vernon Flying Club and there will be additional time for you to ask questions about the flight. You will also receive an official COPA for Kids certificate which is signed by your personal pilot. If you are seven to 17 years of age and have always wanted to experience a flight in a small aircraft and have not yet participated in one of these free events hosted by the VFC, please e-mail your request to the local COPA for Kids reg-
istration contact for the Vernon Flying Club, Bev Bonner at iflyit@telus.net. She will e-mail you a registration form to be filled in by you and signed by your guardian. Once returned, you will be placed on the fly list for April 10 and issued a boarding pass with an approximate flight time. For more information, visit www.copaforkids.org The Vernon Flying Club was formed in 1946 and is one of the most successful not for profit flying clubs in Canada with more than 100 members and growing. Meetings are held the third Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. New members are always welcome.
Fiancé isn’t ready to commit

ear Annie: I have been engaged to “Phil” for two years, but we’ve been dating for nine. I accidentally intercepted a text message from a woman that said, “Miss you.” Needless to say, this sparked my curiosity. I kept an eye on the phone bill and noticed that this same number showed up several times. When I finally got the nerve Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar to ask about it, Phil said a married woman was pursuing him. He considered her a friend and told her it would never go further. I believed him, but asked him to stop contacting her. He agreed, but then I saw that he was still calling and texting her. I also happen to know he has asked her to lunch a few times. Phil rarely works late and never goes anywhere without me. This is creating a huge strain on our relationship. Please tell

me — am I naive or just stupid? — Fool for a Fairy Tale Dear Fool: Neither. You are in love with someone who is not behaving in a trustworthy manner and you know it, but you’re hoping for a less damaging explanation. We wish we could provide it. Insist on premarital counseling before you take another step with this man. Dear Annie: Recently, two teens in my city committed suicide. They were gifted students who got along well with others. Their families and friends were shocked. When we have a physical problem, we do not hesitate to seek out a doctor and even discuss it with others. Unfortunately, this often is not the case with mental health issues. We all have times when we have feelings of hopelessness, bouts of depression, grief over a loss, disappointment with ourselves or others, and anxiety or stress that affects our ability to function. Young people mature physically before they do so emotionally. The 6-foot 17-year-old may act like he has it all figured out, but he is still only learning.

NEW PIECES FROM DALLAS LIGHTING SHOW ARRIVING DAILY
Our society pays a high price for ignoring mental illness — the student who goes on a rampage and kills others at school, the talented young person who commits suicide, the kid who turns to drugs or alcohol. Many of these issues first show up in adolescence. We should have an annual mental health screening for students, along with classes in learning how to effectively cope with everyday life situations. Some mental health problems have a physical component, such as a metabolic disorder, so students should be checked for this also. Children are our nation’s greatest assets, and we should not shortchange them by overemphasizing career goals and high grades, while ignoring their emotional and mental well-being. — Concerned Parent Dear Parent: We agree. Unfortunately, economics dictates where schools spend their money, and there doesn’t seem to be enough to go around. This is why parents must be vigilant — and willing to discuss these things with their children.

Seminar puts ‘Focus on Marriage’ Morning Star Staff
St. John’s Lutheran Church offers couples an opportunity to join in a live broadcast of a Focus on Marriage conference Feb. 27. “We subscribe to a cable network so that we show the conference. As far as I know, we are the only one in town who is able to bring this in,” said Joel Haberstock, youth and family pastor. “This is a chance to benefit from these speakers who we wouldn’t usually get to hear.” The Focus on Marriage conference features Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage; Kirk and Chelsea Cameron, actors in Fireproof; Francis Chan, author of Crazy Love; Stephen Kendrick, co-author of The Love Dare; Les and Leslie Parrott, Real Relationships Ministry; and Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages. They talk about the spiritual aspect of marriage
and share the experiences of couples who have overcome serious marital struggles. “This is an excellent group of speakers and we know they will bless and encourage the community. We believe in building a strong community through strong families, and marriage is the heart of the family. The speakers are very engaging and humourous, which is how I like to learn, while teaching about a serious and important topic. We hope people enjoy it,” said Haberstock. The broadcast takes place Feb. 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 5151 Alain Rd. Registration is $25 per couple and $15 singles before Feb. 21 and $35 per couple and $20 single after. Lunch is brown bag or no-host barbecue.

News
Colbert draws crowds during shoot in Vancouver BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
About 3,000 “syrup suckers” and “iceholes” showed up at a muddy park next to Science World Wednesday to welcome American comedian Stephen Colbert and take part in the first of two tapings of his TV show. The host of the satirical news show The Colbert Report parlayed his fondness for obscure sports and a disp u t e w i t h U . S . speed skater Shani Davis into a Colbert spons o r ship of the U.S. speed skating team in November. He then mocked Canada on his show as a nation of cheaters, claiming the U.S. team was being denied sufficient training time on the Richmond speedskating oval. Colbert accepted an invitation from the City of Richmond to visit the Olympics to act as a speed skating ombudsman, and the decision to broadcast the show on location from Vancouver soon followed. A crew member took the stage decorated with a stuffed moose and skis, as machines pumped artificial snow into the air, and informed the cheering crowd that he was a native of Vancouver. “Welcome to the Stephen Colbert pavilion at Expo 86,” he said, before leading the audience through a warmup sing-along of “O Canada.” Interview segments were taped with three guests, Burnaby singer Michael Bublé, NBC sports broadcaster Bob Costas, and Vancouver MP Ujjal Dosanjh, for broadcast Wednesday evening. Dosanjh appeared in a segment called “Better Know a Riding,” a Canadian modification of Colbert’s ongo-
ing series of interviews with little-known members of the U.S. Congress.
The former B.C. premier soon faced the kind of intense grilling Colbert has become
known for on his mock news program where he portrays a right-wing host who
frequently upstages his guests. “Something I’ve heard about Canada,
and correct me if I’m wrong, is that you’ve got a Canadian-style health care system,”
Colbert said. Dosanjh was forced to admit that it was true.

Ceremony launches Games KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
Some 60,600 awestruck spectators served as extras in a majestic three-hour movie of sorts, officially opening the XXI Winter Olympic Games Friday night at the dazzling ice-blue wonderland otherwise known as B.C. Place. Sporting greats Wayne Gretzky, Steve Nash, Nancy Greene, Catriona LeMay Doan and Rick Hansen teamed up to light the Olympic cauldron, ending a 106-day, 45,000-kilometre torch adventure which officially began in Greece. The opening ceremony featured paper snowflakes, incredible music and dance, and Hollywood-like laser and light shows. Fans, who paid up to $600 for a ticket, participated like they were in an audition, showing precision and style when instructed by volunteers. Olympics CEO John Furlong, who called the Games a unique magic, invited the world to share and experience what it feels like to be a proud Canadian. He urged the athletes to inspire the youth of the planet through their ultra talents. “You are role models for our children – heroes, giants, human champions, the best ever,” said Furlong. “You are living proof that men and women everywhere are capable of doing great good, and that in life as it is in sport, we should always give our best and never, ever give up.” Montreal teen jazz-pop sensation Nikki Yanofsky, wearing a stunning bright red dress, delivered a stirring rendition of O Canada to jumpstart the extravaganza. Seconds later, a snowboarder soared off a makeshift jump after the crowd held up flashlights to signify the final 10 second countdown to the ceremony. Spectators were considered the cast group in the production, using a set of six props activated at key points during the night. They wore white and blue ponchos. Four gigantic ice-like totem poles then arose in the middle of the stadium and members of Vancouver and Whistler
First Nation communities welcomed the world before being joined in colourful dance and song by aboriginal people from other regions of Canada. As is Games’ custom, Team Greece was the first of 82 participating nations to stroll into the stadium for the 48-minute parade of athletes, dwarfed by a backdrop of the 23-feet high, internally-lit Olympic rings. The loudest cheer, of course, came for Team Canada, led by speed skater Clara Hughes. Just about all the spectators waived tiny Canadian flags and screamed support as the red-clad home country’s finest waved back in thanks. B.C. rockers Bryan Adams, clad in a blue blazer and tie, and Nelly Furtado, wearing a formfitting, partially strapless royal blue dress, quickly emerged on the centre platform and shook the roof with an energized Bang The Drum. Huge images, ranging from a polar bear to the Northern Lights, orca whales swimming in the Pacific Ocean and orange maple leafs, nicely complemented some beautiful artistic dance and acrobatics by the Alberta Ballet. Sarah McLachlan’s sweet sounds on Sacred Grove and Ordinary Miracle added further life to the Landscape of Dreams. Featured fiddler Ashley MacIsaac woke up the neighbours in Yaletown, False Creek and Chinatown as the musical play hit a super-charged speed. Skiers and boarders, hanging by rope from the ceiling, turned in gold-medal tricks down a mountain face which also served as a monster screen showing highlights of various winter sports. Furlong then addressed the world before giving the floor to International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge. “And a special thanks to the thousands of Games volunteers for your enthusiasm,” said Rogge. “Without you, none of this would be possible.” Ryan Nitchie of Armstrong, who is here volunteering at the Athletes Village, got a
double-dose of the opening ceremony. “During the entire ceremony I was teary eyed,” said the grocery store clerk and city councillor. “I am a very proud Canadian, but as a ‘good Canadian’, I don’t wear my patriotism on my sleeve. Watching the opening ceremonies re-
hearsal live at B.C. Place was like permission to be proud of my country, province and community. “Seeing the opening ceremonies made me appreciate and feel thankful that I am part of hosting the world at the Olympics.” On a sad note, it was announced seconds be-
fore the festivities started that the night was being dedicated to 21-year-old Georgian luge athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died in a training run earlier Friday at the Whistler Sliding Centre. The 11-member, somberfaced Team Georgia wore black scarves and armbands in honour of
their fallen teammate as they marched slowly into the stadium. A moment’s silence, with the Olympic flag at half mast, was held in the luger’s honour near the end of the night. American snowboard phenom Shaun White said Kumaritashvili’s death has hit the entire Olympic athletic frater-
nity. “It’s really unfortunate to have something like that happen,” said White. “We’re all in different sports and from different countries but when we get here, we’re all part of the same family. It’s definitely affected everyone here.”

WEST VANCOUVER – Drew Neilson hugged his wife Amy and young son Caleb as he left the Cypress Mountain stadium to go congratulate Canadian snowboard cross teammate Mike Robertson on his Olympic silver medal Monday. He also embraced his sister Karen, brother Wade, and several other loved ones as the men’s snowboarder cross event closed. Neilson had earlier sat with his parents – Judy and Ben Hoy of Vernon – and watched a semifinal race. It was a fabulous place for a family reunion, and despite an 11th-place finish, Neilson was hardly looking for a crisis counsellor. “It’s not the end of the world,” said Neilson, who was bumped by a
elbow-to-elbow battle going until Neilson crashed and burned midway down the course. “Well I blew my start so I kind of got into the mix,” said Neilson, 35. “I got forced out on the first corner into a place I didn’t want to be and I had to come back to get into the gate. Luckily, the French guys made a mess out of it too and I got into the fight, and then I just hung my toe edge into the corner too much.” His goggles were a little dark, but he wasn’t using equipment as an excuse for his spill. Robertson, a Squamish native, slowed down for a millisecond and was forced to settle for a silver medal. American Seth Wescott, who also struck gold at the 2006 Turin Games, came from behind to pass Robertson in the thrilling final

Last time I got crashed out. This time, I crashed myself out.” Neilson posted the 11th fastest qualifying time in the field of 35, advancing to the eights finals. Neilson passed Pierre Vaultier of France on the first bank, but the Frenchman returned the favour on the lower bank. Both men advanced to the quarterfinals. Neilson, a former world champion who started snowboarding as a tyke at Silver Star, met Vaultier again in the quarters. The pair had an

News District staff question land reserve report on property values LACHLAN LABERE Black Press
A suggestion that high house prices in Vancouver are due to B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve has led to a call for a review from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. Jay Simons, manager of development services, recently told directors that the president of the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association of B.C. made the assertion in a letter and accompanying report. The letter states that “the ALR has failed to sustain family farms as intended and instead has helped make the Vancouver housing market one of the most expensive in North America,” read Simons. But a CSRD staff critique of the report suggests that the ALR is not a significant factor in the cost of Lower Mainland real estate, said Simons, but rather the “high livability quotient that Vancouver enjoys, that the general public highly values the preservation of farmland in B.C. and that ICBA’s popular support for its submission is very limited.” Simons identified the key issue as whether the CSRD support ICBA’s contention that the ALR is seriously deficient and that the private sector is better able to protect B.C.’s farmland in the long term. While they didn’t agree to that, staff ’s critique brought demands for a review of the ALR by several directors. “The definition of soils needs to be reviewed,” said director Kevin Flynn, noting the information being used is 20 to 30 years old. “Are we protecting the right land?” Director Loni Parker agreed, noting the difficulties in her area when an application was made under a recent gov-
ernment shovel-ready development program. “It seemed to me their minds were made up,” she said of Agricultural
Land Commission agents. “They weren’t ready to go at all. They had no shovel, they didn’t even know which
land was agricultural and what was not.” Director Ted Bacigalupo suggested that “on the one hand
the ALC is concerned but they allow fragmentation. They’re masters of their own demise.” Directors agreed
MTF
to write a letter to the agricultural land commission and to the Southern Interior Local Government
Association, who put out a call for resolutions for the annual convention, which will be held April 28 to 30.

DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
News B.C. Brand fruit pushed in marketing effort Morning Star Staff
Canadians are being urged to purchase Okanagan fruit in a new campaign aimed at creating awareness about the various varieties grown in the valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This campaign is all about tugging on the commitment we feel to each other as Canadians, reminding us all that to buy B.C. Brand fruit is to support our economy, bring the freshest fruit to our familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table and be as good as we can to the environment,â&#x20AC;? said Adrian Abbott, the director of marketing and industry relations with B.C. Tree Fruits. Imports of foreign apples outnumber exports of
Canadian apples at a 5.7 to one ratio. B.C. produces all of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apricots and Anjou pears, more than 60 per cent of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cherries, half Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bartlett pears and 20 per cent of apples. The campaign features an interactive website (www. grownwithcare.ca) where people can learn about the benefits of buying B.C. fruit, view grower biographies and enter to win a $5,000 holiday in the Okanagan. The campaign also includes radio advertising in B.C. and Alberta, as well as an online campaign with major newspapersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sites in the four Western Canada provinces.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) You’re on a profitable roll so press forward on matters or arrangements you believe can benefit you and others. Chances are everyone will realize some financial gain.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) This is a better-than-usual day to make amends with people who have caused some recent problems. When you reach out, they will do the same.
PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) Your ability to judge others accurately is quite astounding. It can be used to your advantage if you are put in charge of allocating who does what specific assignments that could benefit all.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) Instead of waiting to be asked or told what to do, take the initiative and resolve what you think needs resolving. Follow your inclinations, and others will begin to pitch in, too.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Lucky you, because there will be several persons working on your behalf without you even having to ask them for help. Be grateful so that you’ll remember what they did for you.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) It shouldn’t be too difficult to get others to join your efforts to do something nice for someone in need. If you ask nicely, there isn’t likely to be too many who will turn you down.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Wishes can become realities if you go out into the world and start to make things happen instead of waiting for fate to roll the dice. Life occurs for those who live it.
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY In the year ahead, you are likely to be far luckier than usual in financial dealings, whether they involve situations developed on your own or assigned to you. Both a little luck and a lot of skill will play important roles.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Remember the saying, “We get to heaven leaning on the arms of those we help.” You can advance your interests by offering some unselfish aid to those in need. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Some good relationships can be developed with several people who would be nice to know. When you see others in need, step forward and offer to help in ways that only you can. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Offer your abilities and expertise if what you know can be used to improve others’ lives. It’s one of those days when you will get back double what you put in. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) People will find you to be an agreeable person with whom to make deals. Everyone wins when both sides are willing to be fair, impartial and share what they have to offer.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Golfer Greg Norman said, “Setting goals for your game is an art. The trick is in setting them at the right level: neither too low nor too high.” That is also true at bridge. Unless you are playing in a pair event or a boarda-match teams, where overtricks can be valuable, set your sights on making your contract and do not worry about overtricks. In this deal, how would you play in three no-trump after West leads the spade queen? Note the bidding. After you opened one diamond and West overcalled one spade, North wanted to act with six points, but there was nothing sensible he could do. He did not have four hearts for a negative
double. He did not have a spade stopper for one notrump. And his diamond support was insufficient for two diamonds. (All right, two diamonds wouldn’t be silly, because you will usually have at least four cards in the suit.) Your balancing rebid of one no-trump opposite a passed partner showed 18, 19 or a poor 20 points (more than a one-notrump opening). Then North caught up, correctly raising to three no-trump. You start with six top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and one club. The other three tricks can probably come from diamonds. However, you must not try for four more diamond tricks (unless you are about to
get lucky!). After you take the first trick, lead the club jack, planning to run it. But when West covers with the king, do not play dummy’s ace; let West take the trick. Then, unless clubs are 5-1, you will get the four club winners that you need.
Your host, Cheryl MacKinnon
WEIGHT LOSS Q: I am having problems losing weight, and if I do, I just put it back on. What can I do?
Dr. Denise De Monte, N.D.
A: Weight loss is very complex and influenced by food allergies, hormones, lymphatic blockage, stress and emotional factors. These are addressed through specialized testing and advanced treatments such as laser acupuncture, vitamin injections, vibration therapy and hormone balancing.
Success is high (over 95%) with this comprehensive program designed especially for you. De Monte Centre Natural Medicine 250-545-0800
