Orchardists demand action RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Okanagan orchardists have outlined a game plan to try and escape financial disaster. During a meeting with Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson Wednesday, the B.C. Fruit Growers Association demanded Victoria provide apple growers with $10 million and initiate a claim to a provincial/federal insurance program because of extraordinary conditions. “We laid out the case of where the industry is at,” said Joe Sardinha, BCFGA president. The average price for all Joe Sardinha apple varieties is 13 cents a pound while the cost of production is 22.5 cents. “While there is the AgriStability program, it will only cover 15 to 30 per cent of the grower losses for the 2009 crop,” said Sardinha. “And from 2008, there are growers who still haven’t received anything from the program.” Sardinha says some growers are already unable to cover their expenses. “It will be difficult for growers to find the resources to grow this year’s crop which will just compound the problem,” he said. While it’s possible the Ministry of Agriculture will apply to the provincial/federal AgriRecovery program for assistance, it’s unknown whether the $10 million will materialize. “The minister made it clear that things are very challenging. His ministry received a $5 million reduction in the budget and next year, they’re proposing a $7 million cut,” said Sardinha. “It doesn’t bode well, but the question to ask is the industry important enough in the Okanagan for the government to support?” Sardinha and Thomson also spoke about longterm initiatives that could be taken to improve the plight of orchardists including possible trade action against countries that dump apples in Canada and establishing a marketing board to retrieve the cost of production. The BCFGA has asked Thomson to respond to its requests within a week to 10 days. “They have several things in front of them to consider and we’ll have to wait and see what happens,” said Sardinha.

News Couple escapes burning home RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Neighbours are rallying behind a couple forced out of their home by fire. Flames roared through a rental unit in the 5000 block of 27th Avenue Wednesday at about 4 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost pretty much everything,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Weston, a neighbour of the man and woman who lived in the residence and did not have content insurance. A trust fund has been established at VantageOne Credit Union (#873356). Donations of household items can be made by calling 558-5399. The coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landlord has found another home for them to live in. Neighbour Shon Docksteader first became aware of the fire when the man from the unit began yelling for help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the time I got out here, the flames were 10 feet higher than the roof,â&#x20AC;? said Docksteader, adding that the man pulled his wife out through a window. There was some concern the fire would spread to Docksteaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home because the two units are connected by a carport but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t occur.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The firefighters were just excellent. Thank God for the Vernon Fire Department,â&#x20AC;? said Docksteader. Firefighters were on scene within minutes of receiving the initial report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The verandah was fully engulfed,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Owens, deputy fire chief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire got into the kitchen and scorched the kitchen pretty good.â&#x20AC;? The fireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of origin was on the deck and the investigation determined Thursday that the cause of the fire was electrical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have turned the scene over to the insurance company,â&#x20AC;? said Dean Wakefield, fire investigator, adding that the property owner was fully insured. Owens believes the house â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is more than 100 years old â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could possibly be rebuilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The foundation is pretty good and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brick building which limited damage,â&#x20AC;? he said. Owens is using the blaze as a way of sending a message to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no indication of smoke detectors so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m urging people to have smoke detectors and to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Farmers furious over higher water rates RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Farmers say they are being unfairly tapped by higher water costs. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee was told Thursday that an acrossthe-board nine per cent hike in water rates goes against an agreement that agricultural customers would only be billed for improvements to water quantity and pressure, not quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take exception to costs Ted Osborn being loaded on to agriculture that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary,â&#x20AC;? said Ted Osborn, the agricultural director on the GVAC board.

AVE! Come in to Smake We need to r 2010 space for ouction! Patio Colle

GVAC, through the North Okanagan Regional District, recently announced that all water customers will pay nine per cent more in 2010. One of the primary reasons for the increase is to pay for the new Duteau Creek treatment plant debt and operation of the facility. However, Osborn says the Duteau Creek plant is for improving water quality, something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not required for irrigating crops or looking after livestock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take great exception that agricultural rates will be increased by nine per cent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agricultural only agreed to the cost of living.â&#x20AC;? The average flate rate for an agricultural customer is $212 per hectare a year. A nine per cent increase in rates would generate an additional $19 per hectare a year. David Sewell, finance general manager, believes

some of the nine per cent increase in revenue will benefit farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some are for quantity and pressure and maintenance of the system now and in the future,â&#x20AC;? he said. Osbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns have also created challenges because the water utilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is expected to be adopted by the NORD board Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any decision to deviate from the nine per cent will have financial implications (for the budget),â&#x20AC;? said Sewell. In the end, GVAC directors passed a motion asking the regional district board to ensure the increase in water rates reflects improvements to water quantity and pressure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to ensure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re following the principles of the master water plan,â&#x20AC;? said director Buffy Baumbrough.

Public tip leads to arrest ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Thanks to some Good Samaritans, RCMP were able to make an arrest in connection with an East Hill home allegedly being ransacked. Police were alerted to a break-and-enter at a home in the 3600 block of 12th Street Wednesday. The incident happened around 5:15 p.m. after an individual gained access to the home by kicking in a side door. The inside of the home had been ransacked and a number Gord Molendyk of items were taken, including a wallet with credit cards. “It appears the suspect used luggage, duffel bags and bags from inside the home to carry out the items,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “A couple of bags were found in the back yard.” Police report the suspect then allegedly dropped off the suitcases and duffel bags at an acquain-

tance’s home and asked the acquaintance to look after them. The acquaintance, however, wanted nothing to do with the bags. Or the man. “Two individuals came to the detachment with the bags, explained where they came from and said they wanted nothing to do with them,” said Molendyk. “They looked through the bags and said ‘this stuff doesn’t belong to that guy.’” Police discovered the bags contained items that had been taken from the home. Through some good detective work, police discovered the stolen cards were being used by a man at a store in Kelowna. RCMP there were alerted, and they confronted an individual in the store who had been using the card. The individual, police report, had taken a taxi from Vernon to Kelowna. A 27-year-old West Kelowna man was arrested and returned to Vernon cells. He is facing charges, including possession of stolen property, in connection with the incident, which remains under Vernon RCMP investigation.

Purse stolen from woman at Kin Beach ROGER KNOX

later released on a promise to appear in court to face charges in relation to the incident.

Morning Star Staff

All the Vernon woman wanted to do Wednesday was stop for a moment at Kin Beach and enjoy the view. Out for a stroll, the 67-year-old woman stopped for a rest on a bench to soak up some sun and the sights. She put her purse containing cash, cheques and personal items on the seat beside her. Next thing she knew, a man on a bike wearing dark pants came up to the bench, allegedly grabbed the purse and sped off towards Bella Vista Road. “The lady gave chase but couldn’t catch the man,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. Police were alerted of the incident and plainclothes officers came across an individual who was out of breath near the top of the Bella Vista hill. The man was questioned and searched by police, and was found to have items from the woman’s purse on his possession. He was also found to be in possession of a controlled substance. The woman’s purse was recovered nearby and returned to the owner. Police are reminding residents to keep purses and wallets close by, and to not carry large amounts of cash. A 25-year-old Lumby man was arrested, and

Confident Decision Making

“Helping you” find the best mortgage loan to suit your needs. • Refinances • Purchases

Nearly three years ago I went into hospital for a simple procedure where I had to have an anesthetic. When I came around my back was killing me. They told me that nothing happened (I suspect they dropped me), my back got steadily worse and a few days after that my disc slipped. I spent a long time recovering from that and shortly after I was starting to feel better, until I bent to get something and another disc slipped. This time it was very bad and got progressively worse. I went to the top back specialists in Vancouver. I had test after test. I saw a neurologist. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the discs was pressing on the sciatic nerve, I was in agony and housebound and there was nothing they could do for me and they told me it would get worse. As you can imagine I became rather depressed. I was unable to walk more than half a block. I had to get out of bed to turn over in the night (you have no idea how often you turn over until that happens). This had gone on for two years; I was beginning to hope for an early death (I’m not kidding) because I was in so much pain. I was being given morphine derivative so I could get through the day. It hurt to sit and it hurt to stand. My sister had for some time been telling me about RECOVERY that she said worked. I tend to put that kind of talk in the “airy fairy” zone and basically ignore it. Finally, because I was so desperate, I tried it. Within five days I was walking around. Within a week I was able to do a two mile walk and I no longer had to get out of bed to turn over. I’m aware I sound like a walking advert for them, it had such an amazing effect on me and it gave me my life back. Aside from my back, it had the added benefit of easing my arthritis somewhat and improved my eyesight a little and generally acted like an overall tonic for me. I felt better than I had in years. I told a friend about it because he has chronic back problems. He was unable to walk without a cane. Within a couple of weeks he was able to do without his cane for the first time in a long time. For me it was like a miracle. Thank you Purica, I thought I owed it to you and your product to do a testimonial.

Council wants action taken at launch BRENT MUTIS

zoo on long weekends.” The recommendations should be added to the agenda for an upcoming GVAC meeting and will go ahead if approved. Solutions to traffic problems were suggested in a report by the Commissionaires, a private organziation that provides traffic control at the launch. They also suggested increased No Parking signs at the Kinloch Drive boat launch as well as bag dispensers for dog waste and No Swimming signs. For the Westkal Road boat launch, they suggested replacing existing No Parking signs and adding signs prohibiting overnight parking

Morning Star Staff

Coldstream council is hoping increased signage at the Kalavista Road boat launch will reduce headaches at the popular spot during busy times. Council opted to forward four recommendations to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee to be considered at one of its upcoming meetings. Suggestions include placing a sign at the launch stating loads must be secured before leaving the area, installing a second gate at the south end of the parking lot and an exit only sign at the north gate. With two gates, it is hoped traffic will flow in a more organized man-

“The real capacity issues are really only in evidence on those summer weekends.” — Michael Stamhuis ner. “When (the lot) is full, you want traffic going one way,” said Coldstream chief administrative officer Michael Stamhuis. “The concern is you don’t want (vehicles) coming out at the south end because there are trees and the visibility is lousy there.”

The North Okanagan Regional District has been saying more control is needed on the lot, especially during holiday weekends when there is increased use. “The real capacity issues are really only in evidence on those summer weekends,” said Stamhuis. “There’s times when it can turn into a bit of a

A recent rash of thefts from vehicles has Vernon RCMP again alerting the public to keep their valuables hidden. Spokesman Gord Molendyk said the detachment has received 15 complaints over the past few weeks of items being taken from vehicles. “The thefts haven’t been in one fixed area. They are happening all over the region,” said Molendyk. A lot of the thefts are happening at areas where people park their cars then wander away from the parking lot, such as Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, dog parks, Marshall Field and BX Falls. “For example, people go to a dog park to walk the dog and they leave their purse or wallet in the car because they don’t want to take it with them,” said Molendyk. “We are reminding people to lock their valuables in their trunk, and make sure nobody is watching you put your valuables into the trunk. Put it out of sight and out of mind.” Molendyk said thieves will smash windows for change in the ashtray or items such as iPods and cell phones left in plain sight. “Thieves are looking mostly for cash and credit cards. “The resulting damage can cost a person more than the item taken from the car Some people are also not locking their vehicles at all, which is also an open invitation to crooks. Police ask people to plan ahead if going on an

The action continues

f you’re suffering from Olympic withdrawal, never fear. The Paralympic Games start tonight with opening ceremonies at B.C. Place Stadium at 6 p.m. On top of events in the five Paralympic sports (alpine skiing, biathlon, curling, ice sledge hockey and crosscountry skiing), almost 60 hours of television is slated in both official languages. That’s a huge increase over coverage from previous years. What’s more, there are tickets still available in all Brent Mutis events. Canada will have a team of 55 athletes and 55 support staff. In all, there will be 1,350 athletes and coaches from 44 countries. There is plenty of local representation at the Paralympics too. Vernon’s Josh Dueck (paraalpine sit-ski) and Sonja Gaudet (wheelchair curling) and Armstrong’s Ina Forrest (wheelchair curling) will all enter the stadium tonight set to represent Canada. Locals will be involved in other ways. Silver Star Adaptive Snow Sports instructor Sarah Morris-Probert carried the torch earlier this week as did Falkland’s Lottie Kozak. Support for the Paralympic torch run has been just as fervent as it was for the Olympic relay. Just check out the photos from the Vancouver 2010 website (www.vancouver2010. com/paralympic-games/photos/). The flame arrived in Vancouver yesterday morning. And the expectations for Canada’s Paralympic athletes are no lower than they were for the Olympics. Money from the Own The Podium program has gone to Paralympians so Canada’s top-three finish in February’s Games is projected this time around

as well. In Torino in 2006, Canada took sixth after claiming five gold medals, three silver and five bronze. The performances Paralympians will produce will be remarkable in and of themselves. Everyone loves a story of a team or individual experiencing triumph over adversity and there will be no shortage of those tales at the Paralympics. Each athlete has such unique tale behind how they got to these Games. Some are born with their handicaps, others are accident victims that have taught themselves entirely new sets of skills in order to compete at the highest level possible. Canadian Brian McKeever’s proficiency in cross-country skiing was such that he qualified for the Olympics though he was not selected to compete for the 50-kilometre mass start. The blind athlete will get another chance at the Paralympics. He won three gold, a silver and a bronze in Torino. Olena Iurovska of Ukraine did something in Turin that makes your head swim. She won gold medals in two different distances of crosscountry skiing and then did the same in two distances of biathlon. At three, she had both legs amputated after a bout of chicken pox. Four gold medals from two separate sports. She even competed in the Athens summer Olympics in 2004 in sitting volleyball. Mind boggling. Tomorrow, Canada takes on Italy in ice sledge hockey and medals will be awarded in men’s and women’s downhill skiing and biathlon. So don’t put away those red mitts and T-shirts just yet. There’s plenty of pride to be put on display yet, and you can still see it in person or from the comfort of your living room.

The onus is now on Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson and the rest of the provincial government to determine if it will rally behind Okanagan fruit growers. And while claims of fiscal prudence will be made, the government must realize that without a viable tree fruit sector, a key plank in B.C.’s economy is undermined and growing interest among residents to eat local disappears. Perhaps the most challenging demand from orchardists to swallow is a $10 million payment to cover the cost of production while 2009 apple prices continue to collapse. But given the need for orchardists to start spending money to prepare for the 2010 crop and that they’ve lost confidence in insurance programs, it isn’t an unrealistic request. Among the other demands coming from growers are trade action against nations that dump cheap produce into our country and creating a regulatory board to ensure that farmers get a fair price and can cover the cost of production. Once again, these requests aren’t radical. Our valley would be an entirely different place without the influence of the tree fruit industry economically, esthetically and socially. We also benefit from having fresh fruit grown close at hand. But without immediate action from the federal and provincial governments, the Okanagan could lose all of this, while orchardists, dependant workers and those in support sectors risk their livelihoods. Thomson has been given 10 days to respond to the plight of growers, but let’s hope it doesn’t take that long.

Taxes out of control

am shocked and appauled every time I hear about another raise in taxes. The story is always the same about good service to the community. Well my husband is on CPP due to multiple sclerosis and his big wopping raise was 0.4 per cent — to the tune of $5. Now the City of Vernon wants us to come up with $19.88 more per month. Where are we supposed to get that? Gee, maybe we can eat less or maybe we can turn off our heat for a few days. I am sick to death of people with money running the show, and thinking everything is fine in their world because they have TALK THE TALK Recently in the televised media, there was a story recognizing former councillor Barry Beardsell's objections to the council of today voting in a policy to see them getting paid for committee meetings that they never were before. The amounts of pay for these meetings vary slightly, but it is more than $120 per hour. As Mr. Beardsell pointed out in the story, "They (councillors) knew what the job entailed going into it. It is selfserving." The idea was brought about by Buffy Baumbrough and supported by most of council, including Jack Gilroy and Mayor Wayne Lippert. More recently, in the Feb. 5 Morning Star, in the story entitled Administrator Gets Wage Boost, the directors of the North Okanagan Regional District voted in favor of a wage increase for administrator Greg Betts. Two of the directors however, Jack Gilroy and Wayne Lippert, voted against the increase. Mr. Gilroy stating, "Five per cent is a little heavy. The cost of living is about zero right now." Mr. Lippert stated that, "Mr. Betts signed a contract for a specific time period and he knew everything going into it. He knew what was going on." Sound familiar anyone? OK, so both Mayor Lippert and Mr. Gilroy are living the roles of the pot calling the kettle black. Gentlemen, if you wanna talk it, then you should walk it. Why on

earth, should it be OK for you to vote yourselves in extra money for committee meetings when it wasn't part of the package when you were voted into office, but it's not OK for the NORD directors to simply vote in a raise for the administrator because he is doing, by their estimation, a good job? Your position seems somewhat hypocritical, don't you think? Maybe you should explain yourselves to the people you work for — us. R. White

pride. The United States then decided that they would participate in the building of the seaway and the project went ahead. I tell this story because I wonder where our Canadian pride has gone. We were a much smaller nation in the l950s but we felt we could do it. Now it seems we must ask the U.S. to make our policy on climate change, auto emissions etc. Shirley Quinn

CANADIAN PRIDE I am old enough to remember when the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway was debated and ultimately opened to navigation in 1959. Construction of the 306-kilometre stretch of the seaway between Montreal and Lake Ontario is recognized as one of the most challenging engineering feats in history. Discussion with the U.S. had been ongoing over the past 30 years but in the end, they decided not to participate in such a major undertaking. Canadian public opinion was pushing our politicians to go it alone and in July 1951 Premier Frost of Ontario publicly asked the United States to, “Please, get out of the way and let us get on with the job.” The federal government followed within days and announced we would build the St. Lawrence Seaway. It was a time of Canadian

OVERPASS FAN I wanted to provide some information as part of the ongoing discussion about safety of crossing the highway at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. A great long-term solution is a pedestrian overpass. No matter how we change the highway traffic patterns through Vernon in the future, the road to the hospital will always remain busy. I have actually used a pedestrian overpass in New Westminster several times in the past two years. The address is McBride Boulevard between 6th and 8th Ave. It is near a private elementary school, the Justice Institute, a shopping plaza and residences. It is wide enough for all stroller and wheelchair users and high enough for all commercial traffic. This overpass is remarkable as it is fully landscaped at each end and resembles parkland as it

I know pretty soon after the city raises the taxes you will see another raise for them. I know that a lot of elderly, poor and disabled people don't eat properly and don't have heat and their health is poor due to poverty. But who cares? The city wants more more more. Where does it end? I guess they won't be happy until we are on the street. Spirit Square was a nice waste of money — half-a-million dollars. I didn't realize I was so rich to help pay for that. Oh well, just more meals we can't eat. Wake up and smell the poverty. Jean Manifold

blends into the areas people exit and enter it from (all smooth, concrete ramps). I did some research, and the McBride overpass is a public/private partnership that is partially funded by a small but tasteful electronic billboard mounted on the lower side to face oncoming traffic. My research found that a fully government funded (probably Ministry of Transportation pedestrian overpass that is similar, exists in Burnaby at Griffiths and Southpoint roads. I have also shared this information with Vernon's mayor and councillors. A. Otto WASHROOM NEEDED It was recently brought to my attention the plight that the bus drivers have in regards to the lack of bathroom facilities on their breaks. I was told by one of the drivers that there is apparently no money in the budget for a washroom strictly for the drivers. At the same time however, many on Vernon's roads keep getting dug up and revamped. I really feel for the drivers because they only have so much time on their breaks, and then they have to scramble to find facilities that aren't being used, etc. I think for the wonderful job that all the bus drivers do, providing a washroom for them should

be the very least we could do in return. Thank you to all the bus drivers. Not everyone is cut out for the job. If anyone else out there is in agreement with my letter, please join me in submitting a letter to Mayor Wayne Lippert at 3400 30th St., Vernon B.C., V1T 5E6. T. Clark

City considers bridge over creek RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

It may eventually become easier for some Vernon residents to access nearby shopping. The city has received a request for a foot bridge across Vernon Creek on 25th Avenue, near the Landing Plaza. “Staff will follow up on it and see what can be done,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. A bridge would like-

“It would provide great access to 25th Avenue.” — Rob Dickinson ly be constructed on a utility right-of-way. “It would provide great access to 25th Avenue,” said Rob

Dickinson, engineering manager. One of the issues staff will investigate is the cost of a bridge.

The request for the bridge came from the Willowbrook Place strata. “In an attempt to access the services of the Landing shopping centre and other facilities located along 25th Avenue, many teenagers and children living on the south side of Vernon Creek use the trees lining the creek on the south edge of our property to cross it,”

Heritage hall named after Cail RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A longtime advocate of the community and heritage is being permanently honoured. Vernon council has unanimously agreed to name the Heritage Hall in Polson Park after Anna Cail, who died last March at age 97. “Anna’s contributions to the community were significant and she’s a big part of Vernon’s history,” said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. Anna Cail A member of two pioneer families, Cail was a charter member, past president and active director of the Vernon Heritage Society. Cail was also a teacher and she influenced

Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “Anna put a lot of time and effort into the community.” The request to name the hall after Cail came from the Vernon Heritage Society. “This building is used for our monthly meetings and most of our heritage events and celebrations,” said president Bob Wilson in a letter to council. “Hundreds of volunteer hours have been spent restoring its heritage character and keeping a building, originally a hub of education, alive and active. The building is also available to organizations like the Okanagan Science Center, the Vernon School District, the Vernon Multicultural Society, the Family History Society and local First Nations youth dance groups.

Morning Star Staff

Fun, fitness and fundraising are the objectives of the fifth annual Silver Star 7.5 Team Challenge. The event, which runs Sunday at 11 a.m., is a fundraiser for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation and the Okanagan College Foundation’s nordic racers scholarship fund. “We’ve had tremendous support for this event and look forward to growing again this year,” said Glenn Bond, nordic manager at Silver Star Mountain Resort. In previous years, skiers could join a team to combine for a 75-kilometre ski, or do the whole distance themselves. This year, participants will cross-country ski a maximum of 7.5 kilometres. In addition, a twokilometre kids component has been added. “The idea is to appeal to all level of skiers There’s no pressure, it’s a family fun event,” said Bond. There are prizes for the biggest team, best dressed, youngest skier, oldest skier, and top fundraiser. Last year’s event raised more than $15,000. “It great to see people get dressed up in costumes and go out and enjoy some nordic skiing,” said Bond. “But the biggest bonus is the amount of money we raise for these worthy causes. It’s great to see the community come out and throw their weight behind this.” Registration for the

Snowpack below normal in the Interior AL PATERSON Black Press

If you want to avoid water restrictions this summer, you better hope for a whack of rain soon. The potential for a water-challenging summer, similar to the one last summer, exists now, but could be dispelled with above-normal amounts of rainfall in March and April. “Our most recent reports indicate we are below normal snowpack levels,” said Alan Chapman, head of the B.C. River Forecast Centre in Victoria. “By this time of year you are pretty much through winter in the Shuswap and our most recent surveys indicate about 85 to 95 per cent normal snowpack levels at higher elevations. “However, we’ve been very warm ever since Christmas, and January was very warm. It was warm enough to have melted virtually all of the snow at the low and mid-level ranges. That’s about 1,500

Advisory remains A boil water advisory continues for 270 households on the Oyama Lake source of the Wood Lake water system. The primary reason for the boil water alert on the east side of Wood Lake is due to forecasted spring runoff potentially decreasing water quality in Oyama Creek. There’s a concern that increased bacterial material in the water during runoff could possibly exceed the district’s ability to effectively chlorinate the water. The boil water advisory is expected to remain in place until the spring runoff is completed and that could take a couple of months. Residents are asked to boil their water for drinking, washing produce, making beverages or brushing teeth.

to 1.700 metres,” said Chapman. Chapman believes El Nino is at least partially

to blame. “We’re experiencing at least a moderate El Nino, whhich means a

warmer and dryer than normal weather pattern,” said Chapman. “Last summer, in the

Salmon River, Chase Creek, Nicola Valley and Okanagan Valley, it was very dry last summer.

“It’s too soon to forecast what will happen this summer, but the potential for a repeat is

there. It all depends on what kind of precipitation we get in the next couple of months.”

Warning issued over poison and children Morning Star Staff

The warmer weather can mean an increased risk of accidental poisoning. Fertilizers, pesticides, gasoline and propane, among other things, all pose serious risks for young children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children between one and three are at highest riskâ&#x20AC;?, said Patty Hallam, the Interior Health Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public health nursing program consultant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the poisonings are accidental and a function of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age. Their curiosity makes them want to explore the world around them and get into things they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to make sure hazardous or poisonous materials are out of their reach.â&#x20AC;? According to the B.C. Drug and Poison Information Centre, there are more than 26,000 poisonings reported each year and more than half of them involve young children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By making ourselves aware of the possible hazards around our homes, we can remove them and prevent accidental poisonings,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Kowalski, injury prevention manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only takes a few, simple acts to make your home and yard safer for little ones.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; Keep pesticides, pool chemicals, gasoline cans and other hazardous material locked up or up high where children canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach them. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on childresistant containers. â&#x2013; Keep hazardous material in their original containers, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aware of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inside. â&#x2013; Close the containers immediately after use and store them out of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach. â&#x2013; Make sure the propane tank on a barbecue is secured and turned off tightly after each use. Some hazards in the yard/outside to watch out for: â&#x2013; Antifreeze â&#x2013; Windshield Washer Fluid â&#x2013; Fertilizers â&#x2013; Lime

Halcrow heroics stuff Snakes Series heads to Quesnel tied 1-1 GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Quesnel Millionaires’ netminder Kirby Halcrow loses sight of the puck as it soars over his head while Vernon Viper forward Connor Jones (right) tracks the play in Game 2 of the BCHL Interior Conference semifinal Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre.

“We were good on our forecheck, created some turnovers and just capitalized on our opportunities.” Robbie Short, with his third goal in two playoff games, pulled Vernon within two, but Quesnel repelled any further attacks, even when the Vipers were on a late powerplay with Gordon pulled for two extra skaters. Said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner: “One thing our guys need to realize is they want to win as bad as we do and it’s not going to be easy. “When we get our opportunities we’ve got to bear down. We had tons of opportunities and instead of just trying to score the goal we’ve got to put it through the back of the net.” Referee Grant Tyson awarded the Vipers six powerplays, while giving the Mills none. The Snakes now have to contend with playing in a smaller rink where any shot

the ones that put the puck in the net and I did my job too, so it was a real good team effort.” Viper captain Kevin Kraus summed the game up with one word – frustrating. “They play a frustrating game and that’s what they’re going to try to do to us. It worked for them tonight and it got to us. We started to get a little too fancy, a little too cute and got away from our game of hard hitting and hard hockey.” Branden Redschlag, playing in just his second game with the Mills as a call-up, sealed the win with a point shot that deflected through traffic to beat Gordon five-hole. Quesnel head coach Glen Watson was thrilled with how his squad rebounded from Tuesday night’s thorough pounding. “We stuck to our game-plan tonight and I thought we did a good job of containing guys and handling the pressure.

✄

The Vernon Vipers fired 57 questions at netminder Kirby Halcrow Wednesday night at Wesbild Centre. The 18-year-old net detective solved all but two, posting a shining .965 save percentage as the Quesnel Millionaires shocked the Vernon Vipers 4-2 in Game 2 of their best-of-seven B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference semifinal. The Snakes hammered Quesnel 6-2 in Game 1 Tuesday night. The series now heads north to Quesnel for Games 3 and 4, tonight and Saturday night respectively at the Vault. Backstopped by the hulking Halcrow, a Grande Prairie product, the Mills didn’t generate many chances, but capitalized on their 22 shots, catching the Vipers flatfooted in their own end. Vernon’s David Robinson got credit for an own-goal by Quesnel’s Taylor Egan at 4:05 of the first period. Halcrow stopped Robinson’s shot, but Egan appeared to bobble the rebound into his own net. The Mills replied less than a minute later when Darick Ste-Marie banged home a sloppy rebound off Trever Hertz’s shot from 10 feet inside the blueline. Quesnel, who lost all four regular-season games to Vernon and finished 55 points back, silenced the 1,600 fans when Tyler French capped off a three-way passing play with Clayton Chessa and Spencer Graboski, going upstairs on netminder Graeme Gordon late in the first period. Despite being outshot 22-6 in the second frame, the Mills held Vernon scoreless while building a two-goal cushion as Justin Hogan wheeled behind the net and connected with Taylor Holst, who cruised unmolested through the slot for an easy one-timer. “We definitely came out with some heart. Better than (Tuesday night),” said Holst, sporting a teal blue dye job. “We battled, we blocked shots and I think that’s why we won. “He’s (Halcrow) been playing phenomenal, and we’ve been capitalizing on our opportunities.” Added a beaming Halcrow: “It feels unreal to get the win, but I can’t take all the credit. The boys played real good. They’re

from inside the redline could conceivably be considered scoring chances. And Quesnel fans will be bordering on mob-like knowing their team has a chance to play spoiler for a second straight series. This is the first time they have ever been in the second round of the post-season. “Everyone hates playing in our barn. We’ve just got to come out flying, hitting and just play our style,” said Holst. Added Watson: “It’s a good buzz right now in town. It should be a good crowd Friday night.” “You’ve just got to play a simple game in Quesnel. There’s a lot of electricity in the stands, so you want to make sure you’re not over confident. We’ve got work to do.” In Game 1, it took the Vipers about 10 minutes to shake off the rust from a 16-day layoff. After that, the Mills didn’t really have much of a say. The Vipers got two goals apiece from Short and Braden Pimm (first and second star respectively) before 1,900 fans at Wesbild. The Mills took an early lead when Holst cashed in the rebound off Hertz’s original shot, but that seemed to spark the Vipers because less than a minute later Short tipped in Kraus’s point shot to equalize. After that, Vernon began pressuring Quesnel’s defence with a stifling cycle, then opened up a 46-shot barrage on Halcrow. Cory Kane (third star) and Curtis Gedig, each with a goal and assist, completed the Viper attack. Chris Kerr was the only other Millionaire to beat Gordon (12 saves), chipping a puck over the Vernon keeper at 7:08 of the third period. “It took us a bit of time to get going, but then things started to click,” said Kane, an Irvine Calif. product. “We won all the (regular-season) games against them, but they picked up a bunch of new guys (via trade) and obviously they were playing pretty well so you’ve got to respect your opponent.” SNAKE BITES: Before Wednesday’s puck drop, Viper defenceman Stevie Weinstein was honoured with the firstever Wayne Buck Memorial Bursary for his hard work and unselfish play. The 19-year-old Los Angeles product played in all 60 regular-season games, recording 22 points without taking a single penalty minutes. The $500 bursary, sponsored by Kiss-FM, is named after the Vipers’ late P.A. announcer, who died of a heart attack last October.

Gardner bops Branding Iron Morning Star Staff

Jon Gardner has gone from middleof-the-pack to the Capri Insurance Super League championship final. Gardner, supported by Mike Longworth, Tyler Van Den Berghe and Kyle Anderson, surprised T.J. Perepolkin 6-2 in semifinal play Wednesday night at the Vernon Curling Club. Gardner (Sladen Moore) finished the regular season at 9-9, while Perepolkin ended up at 14-4. Perepolkin, a former B.C. junior champion, was backed by Darrell Houston, Gerry Kovacs and Jason Wizniak. The Sladen Moore gang will meet Wayne Laface (Line-X) in next Wednesday night’s final with the winner earning $400 and the loser pocketing $250. After blanking the first end, Gardner and Perepolkin (Branding Iron Pub) exchanged singles in two and three before Gardner swiped a deuce in four after Perepolkin slid his rock through the rings. In the fifth end, Gardner took control and stole another two when Gardner recorded a sweet hit and roll to lay two and force Perepolkin to the top of the eight-foot, where he came up heavy again. In six, Gardner made a great hit and roll to freeze on to Perepolkin’s

rock for shot, forcing the Branding Iron crew to take one. Gardner nailed a hit and stick in seven and the teams shook hands. In the other semi, Laface upended regular-season king Jim Cotter (Brown Stone & Garden) 7-5. Laface (12-6) surprised Cotter (162) by producing a four-ender in the third to go up 6-1. The teams headed to the lounge after seven ends. Dave Merklinger, Darren Heath and Andrew Mercer backed Laface, while Cotter got help from Aaron Herrick, Mark Fillion and Ian Veitch. Both Perepolkin and Cotter earned $125. Meanwhile, Blake Kimura of the Super League bowed 6-5 to Garry Gelowitz of Kelowna in the B.C. Masters Men’s final Sunday in Grand Forks. Gelowitz stopped Ralph Will of Sparwood 9-3, while Kimura iced Bob Gallaugher of Duncan 7-4 in the semifinals of the eight-team event. Gary Marsh, Robert Davidson and Jerry Asao supported Kimura. Eight rinks, including one skipped by Heath, battle it out next week for a provincial mixed crown at the Chilliwack Curling Club. Up for grabs is the right to represent B.C. at the 2011 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship next season. The event will host a local favor-

Stars win provincial title Morning Star Staff

Nicholas Stanhope scored once and set up another as the Lumby Stars clipped Arbutus Avalanche of Vancouver 2-1 Wednesday night in the B.C. Tier 4 Pee Wee Hockey Championships final in Clearwater. Jayden Pederson also scored for Lumby, who had lost 4-2 to Arbutus earlier in the day to conclude round-robin action in the six-team event. Keenan MacDonald drew the assist on Stanhope’s winner. Jake Desilets of the Stars was spectacular in net, making a late breakaway stop as Lumby took the gold-medal game. “It was just hard work by everybody,” said Lumby head coach Dale Nicholls, who earned his first gold medal in five tries. “Everybody chipped in and it was inevitable.” Nicholls, who was assisted by his son Bobby, Jeremy Glaim and Bryan Williamson, said the team began believing in themselves after a regional overtime win over Revelstoke. The Stars had seven returnees from last year’s silver-medalist roster. “We had a lot of ups and downs all season, but the boys bought in at the provincials.

The Stars, who went 4-1 in preliminary play, clipped Burns Lake Bruins 4-3 Tuesday afternoon in a battle of last year’s finalists (held in Lumby).

Salmon Arm Blackburn Storm in the Midget Super League final Monday night at Wesbild Centre. Mitchell Wilson opened the scoring for the Stars in the second period, finding the net from the slot on a nice behind-the-net feed from Jamie Sawchuk and Ashton Edwards. Denan Bosk of Lumby tied the game 2-2 with Rodney Thompson and Graham Williams assisting. Salmon Arm took the lead in the dying seconds of the period on a three-on-one. Wilson then connected on a feed from Theo Wagner to make it 3-3. With two minutes left and the Stars pressing, a deflected puck at the blue line went to a Salmon Arm player and they scored on the resulting two-on-one. “Congratulations to Salmon Arm – they have been tough for us all year” said Lumby coach Murray Wilson. “They made the most of all their opportunities and we did not. All the guys are bummed over the loss but we have had an excellent season and had a lot of fun.” The Stars reached the final by defeating the regular-season champion Winfield Bruins 7-3 Sunday night at Civic Arena. Bosk (3+2), Edwards (2) and Sawchuk handled the offence. Lumby defeated Vernon Battery Chargers 7-1 on Saturday in Winfield with Thomas Corkill getting a hat trick, Matt Somerset adding a pair and Bosk and Edwards adding singles. Wagner, Matt Kolb and Wilson had several assists. Shota Maeda had the lone goal for the Chargers. Kohen Baranyi turned away 29 Vernon shots.

Nycholat notches Ivy League scholarship GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

Dan Nycholat cared enough about his development as a hockey player to walk away from a free ride. The Calgary native had locked up an NCAA Division 1 scholarship with the Northeastern Huskies, but after joining the Boston-based squad as an 18-year-old, the blueliner soon realized he wasn’t going to get the opportunity he needed to meet his true potential. Nycholat, a former top-10 NCAA prospect who turns 21 in June, toiled for two seasons with the Huskies, posting 1-6-7 and 41 penalty minutes in 48 games. He wanted out, and that’s when the Vernon Vipers came calling. After learning the Calgary-raised defenceman was available, Vipers’ head coach/GM Mark Ferner didn’t hesitate to orchestrate a trade with the Canmore Eagles, who held his junior A rights, plucking the 6-foot-2, 190-pounder last September. “When we had the opportunity to add him, it was a no-brainer,” said Ferner. “He just does everything well. He’s an older guy that can play in every situation and log a lot of key minutes.” Added Nycholat: “I wasn’t developing as a hockey player and felt I needed a change. This (Vipers) was the best opportunity for me last fall. I couldn’t ask for anything more.” Playing a vital role in the Vipers’ 105-

point regular season (second highest is club history), Nycholat led all Viper defencemen in scoring with seven goals and 45 points in 58 games (top-10 in the BCHL). Ferner says it was only a matter of time before NCAA scouts started taking notice again. “He could basically pick and choose,” he said. Nycholat recently committed to play next year with the Dartmouth College Big Green, an Ivy League school based in Hanover, N.H. The Big Green, who are ninth in the ECAC at 7-12-3, have produced some NHL prospects recently. Tanner Glass of the Vancouver Canucks and David Jones of the Colorado Avalanche are both Dartmouth and BCHL alumni. “It has been an ongoing process for the last couple months. I looked at all the options and went with the best fit academically and athletically,” said Nycholat, who completed two years of a business degree while at Northeastern. He is currently taking online business and general studies courses to maintain his academic standing. With another year of junior A seasoning, Nycholat believes the transition back to the NCAA will be smoother. “I feel really comfortable going back,” said Nycholat, whose older brother Lawrence plays with the AHL Manitoba Moose. “I know what the games and the

Nycholat, 20, recenltly committed to play with Dartmouth. atmosphere are like, so it should be an easy adjustment.” With the scholarship out of the way, Nycholat can now divert his full attention towards helping the Vipers defend their national junior A title. His last ride in the

junior A post-season was a pretty short one – a first-round exit in the 2006-07 season while he was with Canmore. “I haven’t had a whole lot of playoff experience the last couple years, so it’s going to be a great ride the whole way.”

The Vernon Ski Club hosted more than 120 racers from B.C. and Alberta in the competitive Miele FIS B.C. Cup and Western Canadian J1 Championships at Silver Star March 2 to 7. Superb racing conditions met the racers on the Gypsy Queen run. In the first Super G event, first-year racers Connar Huddart (23rd), Bryan Cookson (28th) and Robert Armstrong (36th) had solid showings amidst a field of nearly 70 J1 competitors (ages 15 and 16). In the second race, Huddart placed 20th, Cookson 21st, Armstrong 37th and Baxter Bolton 39th. In the first Giant Slalom, Cookson placed 23rd, Huddart 25th and Armstrong 26th. In the second GS, Cookson ranked 31st, Armstrong 36th and Bolton 43rd. In slalom action, Armstrong recorded 16th in the first race. In the second go, Cookson was 16th, Armstrong 19th and Bolton 36th. Meanwhile, the Vernon club had stellar results at the second leg of the Teck Provincial K2 Juvenile Championships this week at Big White near Kelowna. For the K2 girls (ages 13 and 14) in the GS, Emilie Tremblay recorded silver. On the boys side, Alex Kreutz bagged the gold. In the second GS run, Tremblay earned 15th in the girls and Kreutz took fourth. Kreutz claimed another gold with his first slalom, and followed that with silver on his next attempt. Noemie Petit took 12th on the girls side. Vernon club skiers were hoping to qualify for the Canadian Championships in Ontario later this month, and for the Whistler Cup in April.

Sonics settle for 14th spot Morning Star Staff

The Seaton Sonics went 1-3 to finish 14th at the B.C. Grade 8 Boys Basketball Championships last weekend in Pitt Meadows. The Sonics drew No. 2 ranked St. George’s Saints of Vancouver in their opener and were down 29-6 at the half. In a show of good sportsmanship, the Saints coaching staff eased off their press and the Sonics were able to get their offence untracked, scoring 23 in the second half before falling 61-29. Seaton then lost 53-43 to fiesty Salt Spring Island with Matt McEachran-Law draining 13 points, Noah Ufimzeff adding 11 and Bekim Maliqi sinking nine. The Sonics committed several turnovers and were weak from the free throw line. Seaton bowed 63-46 to Skaha Lake of Penticton before registering a 60-56 thrilling victory over St Anne’s Academy Crusaders of Kamloops. The Sonics were led by the shot-blocking of Charles Oduro and Ufimzeff. The offence picked up too, with McEachran-Law and Maliqi hitting

shots to help trim a 12-point halftime deficit to four late in the final quarter. With time running out and Seaton intentionally fouling, it was 52-49 St Anne’s with eight seconds remaining. After a final Seaton time-out, Michael Seminutin inbounded to Maliqi, who passed to McEachran-Law on the wing. With a defender in his face, McEachran-Law heaved up the three-pointer and watched it drop at the buzzer to send the Seaton squad into a joyous frenzy. The Sonics, infused with a confidence and sense of purpose they had misplaced, played their best basketball of the year in the three-minute overtime, running and gunning their way to a win. McEachran-Law flushed 25 points, including five from long distancem to earn game MVP. “The boys left with an appreciation of how competitive things are at the provincial level, and with some good memories,” said Seaton coach Charlie Law.

Byram banks six gold at B.C.s Morning Star Staff

Vernon Kokanee Swim Club member Joe Byram claimed six gold medals and one silver at the B.C. AAA Age Group Swim Championships in Victoria. Swimming in the 15-year-old boys division, Byram shaved 70 seconds off his 1,500-metre freestyle time, finishing in 16 minutes, 29.59 seconds. A day later, he swam 1:53.28 in the 200m freestyle, earning his senior national standard. In the 100m backstroke, Byram clocked a 56.80 for his second win of the night. He pocketed other first-place finishes in the 200m backstroke, 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle, and added silver in the 100m breaststroke. In the 13-14 girls, the team of Emilie Beatty, Laura Hulstein, Emma Levorson and Christina Slater rated eighth in the 4x100 freestyle relay with a combine 4:16.39. Jamie Sullivan took 30 seconds off her personal best in the 800m freestyle, finishing in 10:14.67 to earn 20th in the 14 girls division. In the 100m backstroke, Levorson (1:09.94) and Beatty (1:10.59), both 13, ranked fifth and sixth respectively. Levorson’s result met the age group national standard. Slater recorded a PB in

her 100m backstroke with 1:12.47. In the 13-14 girls 4x50m medley relay, the team of Levorson, Courtney Lee, Hulstein and Beatty finished 10th. Levorson was seventh in the 200m backstroke with 2:31.97, fast enough to qualify for the age group national time. In Under 10 girls, Meredith Levorson was fourth in the 100m freestyle, fifth in the 50m butterfly, seventh in the 50m breaststroke. Her second-place showing in the 100m backstroke (1:20.45) set a new club record. She added silver medals in both the 200m IM and 400m freestyle.

The Barra MacNeils return to do some step dancing and play their highly-charged Celtic music at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre March 19.

3IBLINGS ARE STILL COOKIN IN THE KITCHEN Barra MacNeils return to Vernon for a foot stomping good time Morning Star Staff

Cape Breton Island-based family group the Barra MacNeils are no strangers to the North Okanangan having performed a Christmas show here in 2006. But now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming back March 19 to show off some of their more contemporary tunes, along with some material audiences may have missed over the years. The six MacNeil siblings Kyle, Lucy, Sheumas, Stewart, Boyd and Ryan are all multi-instrumentalists who blend a variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments with dancing, storytelling, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture. The multi-award winners have released 14 recordings in their more than 20-year career, but arguably are best known for their two Christmas albums, which have been accompanied by cross-country and interna-

tional tours. The Barra MacNeilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rendition of popular New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve tune Auld Lang Syne, off 1999â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Christmas Album, was even used on the Sex in the City movie soundtrack, and their one-hour Christmas television special (recorded in 2000) continues to be broadcast on Country Music Television and on the Public Broadcasting Services network in the U.S. Along with bass player Jamie Gatti, the group has been busy as of late touring upon the release of two live-off-the-floor recordings. In Session and In Concert cover the instrumental and vocal material the group performs in concerts, while also touching on lesser-known material from their more formative years and more informal gatherings. In Session was recorded over a marathon afternoon and evening pub session at Bunkers in Sydney, N.S. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The invitation-only event was attended by close friends, immediate and extended family and select fans and media,â&#x20AC;? said the band on their website, adding it was a magical event as the family gathered in a circle in

the middle of the room around the upright piano, stand up bass and microphones, playing effortlessly for hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can be heard singing and clapping along, raising a glass of good cheer while keeping their energy up for dancing.â&#x20AC;? Only some of the highlights could be captured by the recording crew (who had to set up in the dining room downstairs) and translated to the CD release, however, some special moments are certainly represented, said the band. In Concert, in turn, was recorded live over two consecutive nights at sold-out concerts in Truro, N.S. It features a sampling of the Barra MacNeilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; popular theatre and festival main stage show material. From the high energy of Clumsy Lover Set to Stepdance, featuring the melodic vocals of Lucy MacNeil, down to the longing of A Thousand Miles and Caledonia, also sung by Lucy, the CD touches on all the energies and emotions of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live concert experience. Other highlights include the rousing anthem-like Coal Town Road, the fun-filled sing-along spirit of Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Call Me Early and

Nancy-O, the ripping intense instrumental prowess displayed on Dougie Mac and The Longest Day, and the free and easy Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Got a Care. The albums come on the heels of the Barra MacNeilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two-CD 20th anniversary package. Recorded in 2007 and 2008, the album covered the span of their entire career to that point, as well as live concerts from their humble family beginnings to world-wide acclaim. The tour in support of the project took the family to theatres and festivals from coast to coast across North America, as well as sending them to Ireland and Scotland. The Barra MacNeils continue to perform to sold-out audiences throughout Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean, the U.K. and Europe. From headlining major festivals, concerts and their annual Christmas tour, they have set the course with a solid foundation for success. The Barra MacNeils take the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre at 8 p.m. Tickets are $33.50, available at the Ticket Seller box office. Call 549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

Morning Star Staff

The planets are aligning for one Okanagan artist who is about to show his work in a solo exhibition at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Jim Kalnin’s One Planet features paintings on paper and canvas that address the coexistence of people and their natural environments. An associate professor in the department of creative studies at UBC Okanagan, Kalnin, a long time valley resident, focusses on physical environmental concerns on both local and global levels. His work captures his philosophical, ontological and spiritual concepts, convictions, beliefs and attitudes, said VPAG curator Lubos Culen. “The exhibition, with all the references to nature, planet, and humanity together with the non-linear, multi-levelled and open-ended possible narratives, is an expression of Kalnin’s contemplation of humanity’s responsibilities arising in the age of globalization,” said Culen. “However, inconclusive the images in the exhibition may appear at first glance, they certainly reveal their possible messages if the viewers are willing to engage in an act of observation over a period of time.” Kalnin says his approach to painting is intuitive and yet it addresses the issues of the universal experience resulting in open-ended propositions that might be interpreted on various levels. While it is nearly impossible to inter-

also to the meditative quality of the paintings that reference his philosophical and spiritual attitudes and experiences.” Viewers can see for themselves when One Planet opens with an artist’s reception at the VPAG, located at 3228 31st.

The public is about to take a peek inside the imaginations of local children with the opening of Art from the Heart at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The annual exhibition, featuring artwork produced by students from Vernon school district elementary schools, often delights the viewers with their creations produced under the guidance of their art teachers, said Cyan Kregosky, the gallery’s assistant curator. “The students often portray the world that surrounds them, or, in other cases, they reference directly their experiences through the language of visual forms,” she said. “The uninhibited approach to their art making reflects the students’ natural inclination for a need to communicate.” Art from the Heart opens Thursday and continues to April 15. An opening reception takes place Saturday, March 20 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Burton’s latest is mad as a hatter Alice in Wonderland: ★★★

out of 5

AISLE SEAT Jason Armstrong seems so swallowed up in his own bizarre delirium with this one, I doubt he cares. The tale, probably more inspired by Lewis Carroll’s work than the chipper animated Disney version, follows Alice (newcomer Mia Wasikowska), a 19-yearold dreamer, down the rabbit hole. About to become engaged to a pompous goof, she heads underground to seemingly escape, but doesn’t exactly find comfort there. According to the Mad Hatter (Depp), Alice is destined to save Wonderland from the evil red Queen (a shrieking Helena Bonham Carter) and restore the beloved White Queen (Anne Hathaway) to power. But she has to wade through a seemingly endless parade of loopy creatures in order to do it. How offbeat does it get? Suffice to say, by the time this thing hits its final act, you feel like you’ve breathed in too much of whatever it is the Blue Caterpillar (Alan Rickman) is puff-

Hidden under an orange frock of hair and oversized, almost creepy eyes, you’ll either adore or despise Depp’s Hatter. And for those who routinely enjoy the thespian’s fearless antics on unusual playgrounds such as this, I’ll wager

on the former option: he’s not only great in this role, he saves the movie. Depp’s performance is weird –– yes, the whole darn movie is weird, people –– but he brings enough humour, tragedy and overall weight to the character,

that you care for him. And, as a result, the rest of the movie is that much more interesting. Without him, this is H.R. Pufnstuf with a bigger budget and a lunatic at the helm. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

im Burton is bonkers, that much we know. He also has this knack for putting his own special stamp on every project he takes on. While there are imitators, no one seems to churn out stuff so wonderfully and wacky bizarre as this man. And for his latest trick, the confirmation that the finished product came from the deep depths of Burton’s brain doesn’t take long. Alice In Wonderland is only minutes old –– seconds, really –– yet, it’s inescapably apparent that you’re watching a Tim Burton film. It’s that colourful, it’s that inventive, and yup, it’s that odd. Good thing, or bad thing? I’ll let you know as soon as the hallucinations wear off. Lavishly designed –– a visual feast, to be sure –– yet, rather hollow on an emotional level, Alice In Wonderland is a tough one to love, but almost impossible to dislike. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy Johnny Depp playing a nut? The trouble is, with the images a little, er, shall we say out there, for the wee ones, and the ride a little too storybook-style for older viewers, I can’t quite get a handle on which target group will overly dig this flick. But then, Burton

Rarearth announces exciting lineup Morning Star Staff

Two stalwarts of blues guitar have been announced to play this summer’s Rarearth Jazz and Blues Festival. Wes Mackey and Jim Byrnes join jazz, gospel and blues artist Maria Muldaur, Juno and American Music Award winner Alfie Zappacosta, Vancouver Latin rockers Rumba Calzada, gospel giants The Black Heritage Singers, Kelowna blues harp master Sherman (Tank) Doucette, Australia’s Mason Rack Band, the legendary Barney Bentall, Nanaimo guitar whiz David Gogo, blues maven Rita Chiarelli, and local upand-comer Andrew Allen to the growing lineup of acts. The festival once again takes place at Vernon’s Kin Race Track, and this year will transpire over three days, Aug. 6 to 8. Scheduled to perform opening night is Mackey, who last played Vernon in 2004. Born Dec. 12, 1942 near the Combahee plantation in South Carolina, Mackey was the youngest of five children, and discovered music as a young child when his father, a Baptist minister, had his family sing the gospel. The bluesman with the gap-toothed smile and slight stutter left his hometown after graduating high school for late-night gigs in bigger cities, eventually playing alongside the likes of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and accompanying Martha Reeves and

three albums, Burnin’, I Turned My Nights Into Days and That River, which won a 1996 Juno for Best Blues/Gospel Album. In January, 2007, the Toronto Blues Society presented Byrnes with the Maple Blues Award

for Male Vocalist of the Year as well as Recording of the Year for his album House of Refuge. Early-bird passes for Rarearth are on sale now at the Ticket Seller, www. ticketseller.ca. Also check www.rarearthmusic.com for the latest updates.

Guitar greats Wes Mackey (left) and Jim Byrnes join the Rarearth Jazz and Blues Festival lineup Aug. 5 to 7 at Kin Race Track in Vernon. the Vandellas. He later embarked on a career entertaining on cruise ships that would take him around the world, and eventually moved to Halifax, and later Vancouver, which he still calls home. Mackey has been able rise above his speech impediment thanks to music, and has developed his own personal solo style, singing and playing his guitar while tapping his feet on homemade foot pedals –– the same found on a Hammond organ –– to make the bass notes. “Give me a guitar and a microphone and I can make people listen,” Mackey told The Morning Star back in ‘04. “People sometimes call me and there will be this long silence, and they will ask, ‘is that you on the phone, Wes?’ but when I play the guitar, I don’t stutter.” Mackey has recorded four albums (three of which have been released), Blues Man (1994), Second Chance (2005) and Mr. Blues (2006.) His new album, Beyond Words, reminds the guitarist of how he’s used music to express

what he couldn’t say before. Multi-Juno award winning blues and roots artist Byrnes started with the piano at aged five and by 13, he was singing and playing blues on his Gibson 1969 Hummingbird. Raised in St. Louis, Mo., Byrnes studied acting at university in Boston and St. Louis, and later landed a gig playing “Lifeguard,” the communications expert, on the CBS series Wiseguy, which was filmed in Vancouver. (He also wrote and performed the song Hands of a Stranger for the show.) Now a long-time resident of Vancouver, Byrnes has done voice work for the animated series Dragon Warrior, and was nominated for a Genie for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his work in Harmony Cats, and in 1996, won a Leo for Best Actor in a TV Drama for his work in Highlander. In 1981, Byrnes formed The Jim Byrnes Band and became a well-known staple of the Vancouver music scene. The band released

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) This could be a good time to ask for another person’s help in order to accomplish something you’ve worked hard on but haven’t been able to complete on your own. It won’t hurt your image or pride.

PUZZLE NO. 203

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You could find yourself in a unique position serving as a conduit for bringing two unrelated factions together to achieve something that would be beneficial for everyone.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203

HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 091027

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) This will be an excellent day to catch up on your communications with others, both personal and workrelated. Some exciting news is likely to be discovered. CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Take the time to check your budget because there’s a good chance you’ll find several ways to trim some waste out of it. That extra money will quickly add up.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) It will pay to be imaginative because in order to achieve a regular objective, you may have to put a different spin on your methods or tactics.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) Important personal matters should not be left to the whim of another. Make your needs known, and discuss what you expect to come from the proper handling of things.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Your popularity with friends is a great asset. The proof of this is that several of your pals are likely to do things for you that they wouldn’t consider doing for anyone else.

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY The year ahead could turn out to be far more active than usual, owing to several new interests. A couple of activities might be for a social expression, but the rest are likely to deal with serious financial considerations.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Two different but rewarding developments could occur with regard to involvements you have with two friends. Luckily, you should be able to benefit from each relationship. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) It isn’t likely that you’ll have any trouble finding solutions for two vexing problems. The only frustration is choosing between too many good answers. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Several important and long-neglected tasks will be completed because of the amazing productivity you’ll show at this time. Keep pushing forward. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) You may have to divide your time between two valued friends who are both bidding for your attention. You’re certainly clever enough to do it in considerate ways. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Many times, the best results are accomplished by getting out of your own way; try to hang back and let events run the show. You can always jump in when necessary.

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.

often work with clients at a stage where they turn from pre-frail (borderline frailty) to

frail—about their concepts and perceptions of frailty. “Interviews demon-

strated that therapists recognize frailty as deterioration in functional ability to complete daily

activities, and an inability to thrive leading to a decrease in independence,” said Roland.

“Therapists also expressed a need to learn more about frailty as a concept in itself,

especially identifying pre-frailty in the community and means of prevention.”

Kaitlyn Roland, a PhD student at UBC Okanagan studying the development of frailty in older adults presented her research to key government officials in Victoria Monday. The symposium brought together top students who have produced policy-relevant research in the field of social policy. Roland’s work explores community therapists’ experiences of frailty with the goal of developing a subsequent theory of frailty from their perspectives. More than 50 per cent of communitydwelling older adults have pre-frailty symptoms and 20 per cent are considered to be frail. However, it is often difficult to determine an older adult’s stage along the frailty continuum until it is too late. “Specifically, we wanted to know how community therapists perceive frailty, how they measure frailty and how they deal with frailty,” said Roland, who is working under the guidance of UBC Okanagan human kinetics professors Gareth Jones and Jennifer Jakobi. “It is a very complex concept that is often diagnosed solely on subjective perception rather than applying any sort of objective measure. “Ultimately we want to develop a more objective assessment method to diagnose and treat frailty.” In partnership with Interior Health, Roland interviewed 11 physical therapists and occupational therapists — who

Late French Immersion program proves itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to learn a second language Morning Star Staff

Becoming bilingual is no easy feat. Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to speak two languages fluently. Having a second language opens up career doors, it brings a greater appreciation of another culture and it exercises oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain in ways that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really be put into words. Just ask a Late French Immersion (LFI) student and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out how amazing it feels to speak two languages. These students just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn it; they live it, breathe it and sometimes even dream in it. In the Vernon School District, the LFI program is at Harwood elementary school, and takes in up to 30 students each year. Grade 6 LFI teacher Rita Tedesco said what makes her students unique from their peers in early immersion is that they are quite often old enough to decide that they themselves want the gift of the French language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students transfer from their schools at the end of Grade 5, and are welcomed at Harwood as an integral part of the student body,â&#x20AC;? she said. LFI is a program designed for Grade 6 and 7 students that allows students to acquire the French language in just two years. In Grade 8, LFI students join peers from early emmersion at Seaton secondary, where together they can pursue a bilingual diploma.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Late French Immersion students at Harwood elementary school are enthusiastic about the opportunity to learn a second language. Late French Immersion students are motivated, enthusiastic and hard working, and so are their teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students and teachers alike embrace the gift of a second language,â&#x20AC;? said Tedesco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a joy to help students become bilingual members of our global village. There is nothing more rewarding.â&#x20AC;? Grade 6 LFI students learn all Grade 6 subjects in French. In Grade 7 LFI, English Language Arts is reintroduced for one period per day but all the other subjects are taught in French as well.

Late French Immersion will be going into its third year at Harwood and its eighth overall in the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students will tell you that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harwood elementary rocks.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Students are involved in the fabric of school life and love being at Harwood.â&#x20AC;? Tedesco calls LFI a life-changing program, and that few educational programs do what LFI does for students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning a language in one school year is an amazing accomplishment. LFI empowers students in believing that they can do

anything and be anything that they choose in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best kind of learning is that which transforms the learner. LFI does just that. For more information, please call Harwood elementary at 250-542-5385. Registration for the 2010/2011 program is now open at Harwood, for those students currently in Grade 5. A parent information meeting will be held March 29 at 7 p.m. in the Harwood library. All interested parents are welcome to attend.

The Allan Brooks Nature Centre sits on the site of the former Vernon Upper Air Weather Station overlooking the City of Vernon on a grassland knoll where the Okanagan and Coldstream Valleys meet. Named for wildlife artist Allan Brooks, the centre provides a first-hand opportunity to see and learn about the North Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diverse natural heritage through views, information, education programs and displays of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural areas. As well, it has been a community leader for various stewardship programs, including the Mud Lake and Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pond EcoAction projects. Other roles include sensitive ecosystem inventories and mapping in the Bella Vista, Commonage and Coldstream areas. It has worked closely with Vernon City Council in establishing an Environmental Advisory Committee. Currently, it is involved with the City of Vernon and the B.C. Ministry of Environment in establishing environmentally sensitive area

Finally, do you have a recommended source of wedding etiquette for second marriages? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Bride Dear Bride: Yes, to the first question. A long, suit-type, offwhite gown without a veil or train would be perfect. No, to the second. It is inappropriate to put anything in the invitation envelope about gifts. Spread the word to a close friend or relative, and let them notify guests who ask. Third, it would be lovely to give your guests a list of available accommodations, and you might also check to see whether you can get a group discount. Finally, libraries, bookstores and websites are filled with etiquette advice. (You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong with Peggy Post.) Dear Annie: I read

While your reply was a good start, it does not fix the problem. You two recommend counseling for many people with less serious issues. This man has a family and needs to straighten up and act like it. He has some kind of mental problem. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Clinton Township, Mich. Dear Clinton: The man seems a little obsessed and controlling about the TV. However, counseling is only effective when someone is willing to work on the problem.

Shebib brings workshop to Vernon Morning Star Staff

The Nor th Okanagan Employment Enhancement Society (NOEES) of Vernon is pleased to present Bob Shebib in a two-day workshop, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choices: An Introduction to Interviewing and Counselling Skills.â&#x20AC;? Shebibâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop will include topics such as counselling and interviewing basics, intervention, empowerment and motivational techniques. He is a counsellor with more than 35 years of experience in clinical work, teaching and consulting. He is the author of two books on this topic, Choices: Interviewing and Counselling Skills for Canadians and Choices: Counselling Skills for Social Workers and Other Professionals. This workshop will appeal to professionals in many fields who seek improved outcomes of client interviews and counselling. This lively and interactive workshop will give participants hands-on skills to implement immediately on the job.

NOEES executive director Lynn Belsher said the workshop will combine theoretical with the practical, emphasizing a range of choices for interviewing and counseling, rather than presenting rules and recipes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop is extremely impactful, providing valuable counselling and interviewing skills applicable to any industry,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether you are helping individuals with their job search or hiring new staff, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labour market demands techniques that are current and effective. Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work-

shops are interactive, popular and fill quickly; NOEES is pleased to bring his expertise to the Okanagan.â&#x20AC;? The workshop takes place March 25 and 26 at Predator Ridge Resort.

Presentation takes a look at Kalamalka Lake Morning Star Staff

Kalamalka Lake is a highlight of the North Okanagan, for both residents and visitors alike. But Randy Schellenberg wants the public to know that Vernon’s main domestic water source is under threat. Schellenberg is guest speaker Monday for the Kalamalka Speakers Series on the topic, “Killing Kalamalka: How nutrient loading is threatening the future of Kalamalka Lake, Vernon’s main domestic water source.” Schellenberg, the spokesman for the Citizens’ Coalition to Save Silver Star Provincial Park, will

take audience members on a “down to (Google) earth” virtual tour that explores sources of contamination all the way from the headwaters on down to Kalamalka Lake. “The purpose of the presentation is to inform the public that Kalamalka Lake, despite our perceptions of it being a pristine, uncontaminated recreational and domestic water source, is in fact being heavily polluted right under our noses,” he said. “So much so, that we may end up losing

it as a domestic water source in the very near future.” Schellenberg’s investigations into the contamination of headwater streams in the community watersheds inevitably led to sobering discoveries further downstream, including troubling findings on the west side of the lake. Topics of discussion will include Vernon and Silver Star wastewater, biosolids composting, effluent irrigation, and the MacKay reservoir. The presentation

In Northwestern North America, the complex knowledge systems of indigenous peoples can convey important understandings of humans’ reliance on local ecosystems, and of our escalating impacts on the life of the planet. The subtle and special knowledge of very special places and environments may be gone forever. Opportunities for younger people to learn this vital knowledge and a sense of place have also diminished, and this is of great concern to elders and knowledge holders.

Bridge by Phillip Alder A large number of species are now extinct. But when creatures dwell on uninhabited islands, they usually do well. For example, the tuatara is a lizard-like reptile that lives on a few islands off the coast of New Zealand. It ﬁrst appeared some 250 million years ago, before dinosaurs. Despite being only a few inches long, it has a life span of about 120 years. Today’s deal features a card-play technique that has been known since the early days of the game, but it is still overlooked by many players. How should South play in four hearts after West leads a diamond to his partner’s jack, and East shifts to

the spade king? South won trick two with his spade ace, drew trumps, and took the club finesse. However, East won with his king, cashed the spade queen, and returned the club 10. South couldn’t avoid the loss of another trick: down one. South should have left clubs alone, taking a ruffing finesse in diamonds instead. After winning trick two, declarer plays a heart to dummy and calls for the diamond king. Assuming East covers with the ace (a card with which he is marked by West’s opening lead), South ruffs, returns to dummy with another trump, and

runs the diamond 10, discarding a club from his hand. West wins with the queen, cashes the spade jack, and shifts to a club. But declarer wins with dummy’s ace and discards his last club on dummy’s established diamond nine.

Jean Freeman On Tuesday 16 February 2009 Jean Freeman died in Campbell River hospital in her 97th year supported by her daughter Anne Ferguson (Cortes Island) with whom she had been visiting for almost eighteen months, and her daughter Linda Freeman (Ottawa). Her heart remained in Lavington in the valley where she married orchardist Michael Freeman and lived for over seventy years. Mum kept the books, grew and preserved the farm's produce, made trips to Vernon to the 'locker' to freeze some, drove to pick up and return farm employees to their homes in White Valley, and was involved in Lavington community projects. She was an active founding member of the Lavington Work Group with June Osborn (now 98) and a Vernon group known to them as the Hen Club, associations which had started in the 1940s. She was an avid gardener, cook, needlewoman, reader, and concert and theatre goer. Her deep interest in the history of the valley made her a valued resource in the community and a fierce conservator of water. While Mum and Dad lived on the farm - until 1968 when they moved to her present home - many people arrived to work, to live and later returned to visit. Truus van Eck - now MacInnes - and her family, grew up with us and has supported Mum since the early 1980s as did many friends and youngsters who learned her demanding gardening techniques.

Mum will be remembered for her great warmth and charm, her delight in people of all ages and walks of life, and for her ardent pursuit of everything that interested her. She maintained a wide correspondence until she left Lavington in 2008.

Eugene was predeceased by his brothers Bob (Connie) and John, and by his parents Edward and Betty Ouchi.

Her home was open to her beloved children, grandchildren - Andrew (Kelly) Ferguson, Jonny (Chantel Gemmell) Ferguson and Nicki ( Jesse) Blake and her great-granchildren Daemion, James, Claire, Kayla and Zoe who miss their selfdescribed 'tough grannie'.

We little knew that morning God was going to call your name, In Life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you You did not go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories Your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. ~ Author Unknown ~

You are everywhere. When I feel the warmth of the golden sun upon my face, and feel the summer wind caress me, I can close my eyes and feel your spirit dance with me in the wind.

News

New website links public with farmers Morning Star Staff

UBC Okanagan student Raja Wariach has created a website that directly connects people in need of food with farmers and orchardists who have excess to give. The website, www.gleanok.com, was originally intended to be Okanagan specific. However, Wariach is currently in the process of expanding the website to include the entire country.

He decided to do so after learning the concept was unique to Canada, and that the website was fairly easy to manage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a free service that allows food producers, such as a commercial orchardist or even a backyard gardener, to post online ads about their excess food and directly give it to people in need,â&#x20AC;? said Wariach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like putting an ad in the newspaper, you just simply describe what you are donat-

ing, the quantity you have, your location, and your contact information. People in need who visit this website will contact you directly to arrange a collection time.â&#x20AC;? Wariach, a fourth-year human geography major, came up with the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;people-topeople gleaningâ&#x20AC;? for his Community Food Security class term project. Having lived on an acreage much of his life, Wariach saw first-hand the food waste

that occurs when events such as hail storms damage crops, and set out to find a way to salvage excess or unwanted food in an efficient and sustainable manner. And although Wariach was only required to research the idea for his class, he decided to take it one step further. Partnering with a friend who specializes in website design, Wariach used money from his own pocket to fund the project costs.
