Missing man’s body found
B.C. SHAKE-OUT

Ellison Elementary School kindergarten student Jordan Schmidt joins the rest of his class under their desks Wednesday morning during the largest earthquake drill in Canadian history. Across the province, thousands of people took part in the Great B.C. Shake-Out to raise awareness about earthquake preparedness.
There’s been a tragic end to the case of a missing Vernon senior. The body of an 80-year-old man reported missing by a concerned neighbour Tuesday morning was found in Vernon Creek near Marshall Field. “A concerned resident called the Vernon detachment to report they had not seen a neighbour for a few days,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Our officers went to the man’s residence in the 6100 block of Okanagan Landing Road to check on the man. They found the home empty with no sign of him.” Police conducted numerous inquiries attempting to locate him but all leads turned up negative. “Indications were the 80-year-old man was a very active hiker in the area,” said Molendyk. Vernon Search and Rescue was called in to assist in the search for the man, who was found shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday. The case has been turned over to the coroner’s office but foul play is not suspected. The name of the victim had not been released by the police as of The Morning Star’s deadline Thursday.
Dreamlift Day raises record amount RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
It was as if Tinkerbell showered the Okanagan with pixie dust and created magic for some special kids. The 17th annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day raised a record $109,382 Wednesday. Proceeds will send 80 children with severe physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses to Disneyland for a day. “It surprised me a bit but I’m delighted,” said Akbal Mund, with Inland Restaurants, which owns the nine participating Wendy’s in the Thompson-Okanagan. “It really speaks to the community support.” This year surpasses the $99,742 raised in 2010, and brings the 17-year cumulative total to $995,080. That’s a direct result of the long lines of people inside the restaurants and in
the drive-thrus. “It’s a good cause. It’s good to get the kids away,” said Faye Viergutz, as she waited with husband Merv to get into the Vernon Wendy’s. For Mund, all of the hard work that goes into Dreamlift Day is worth it when he sees the smiling faces of children who spent a day at the Magic Kingdom. “We’re sending local kids who probably haven’t had a lot of independence in their lives,” he said. The enthusiasm of residents was overwhelming for Lt. Robert Peterson, with the Orange County Sheriffs Department, who visited Vernon. “It’s inspiring. The generosity of the community is breathtaking,” he said.

News Mitchell humbled by special honour RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lloyd Mitchell is rarely at a loss for words, but he walked into unfamiliar territory Wednesday. Led to believe he was attending a meeting at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, he was shocked when he was surrounded by family, dignitaries and media to announce he’s Vernon’s 2010 Good Citizen of the Year. “He can’t be speechless. I don’t believe it,� said Marion, his wife of 55 years. With his eyes welling up with tears, Mitchell, 79, listened as the Junior Chamber International read his lengthy list of accomplishments during the more than 45 years that he has called Vernon home. They include founding the Vernon Learn and Disability Group, co-chairing the Vernon Prostate Cancer Support Group, organizing the Do It For Dad prostate cancer awareness run, serving on the John Howard Society board and volunteering with Big Brothers and My School. “I’ve been fortunate to be of service to Vernon,� said the father of four sons and grandfather of 10. “I’ve had a fortunate life in Vernon and serving others has been a big part of that.� A retired educator, Mitchell has also voluntarily tutored adults who have difficulty reading or writing or need help selecting a new career path. He has served as a warden, Sunday school

JCI representative Tehara Bertram congratulates Lloyd Mitchell, who was named Vernon’s 2010 Good Citizen of the Year Wednesday at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. superintendent, choir member and participant in the men’s club at All Saints Anglican
Church. He also helped the church host the soup kitchen for four years.
But Mitchell’s activities haven’t been limited to just Vernon. He visited Mexico to build houses for several families. When asked why he gives of himself, Mitchell says, “I do it because I see a need and in certain instances, there is no service being put forward.� But when pushed as to what he gets personally out of volunteering, Mitchell speaks of a man he recently encouraged to take a prostate cancer exam. “He had the PSA test and two weeks later, I got an e-mail saying, ‘Thanks for saving my life.’ He didn’t have prostate cancer but he had another cancer. That’s thanks enough.� Mitchell has made a significant impression on people throughout the community. “He’s a tremendous individual,� said Ken Waldon, who is part of the Do It For Dad organizing committee. “He’s done a great deal for the prostate cancer group. He’s very tenacious.� Pat Hesketh, whose late husband Bill founded Howard House, has been a family friend for years. “We have always appreciated Lloyd’s loyalty, values, wisdom, kindness, ability to get along with people of all ages and backgrounds, and his sense of humour,� she said. As Good Citizen, Mitchell will take part in the Vernon Winter Carnival parade and Winter Breakout.

According to the village, the individuals selected for the tour will go to Kamloops in council members’ private vehicles, and the cost of the trip should be minimal. “It will be whatever the mileage is to Kamloops and back,� said Frank Kosa, chief administrative officer, adding that Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre is providing lunch. A group known as Lumby Concerned Citizens has accused council of promoting a prison without having a mandate from residents to do so. But Acton disagrees that council is overstepping its authority. “We’re not doing anything the
community doesn’t want us to do. The decision was to seek information,� he said of feedback from the community. “We’re putting information out so people can be informed. I’d be circumventing the process if we got the information from the government and just told council, ‘Let’s do it.’� Lumby Concerned Citizens is also demanding a referendum on the issue instead of possibly a telephone survey to determine public opinion. “The timeline the provincial government has set (for indicating interest in a prison) doesn’t leave a lot of time for a referendum,� said Acton.

Restaurants were packed throughout Vernon, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton. “Everywhere I went was a zoo,” said Steve Tuck, with the Sunshine Foundation of Canada, which organizes the Disneyland adventures.

Vernonites will be encouraged to preserve and maintain trees. On Monday, council directed staff to update the tree protection bylaw and to also create education and incentive programs to support tree protection. “I’m very excited that council is working towards the enhancement of trees and preserving what we have,” said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. Baumbrough The present tree protection bylaw has been in place since 1996 and the goal is to update the document so it reflects community sustainability, air quality, storm water quality and reducing greenhouse gases. “Overall air quality is improved through the absorption of carbon monoxide by trees,” said Brooke Marshall, environmental planner. Through education and incentive programs, residents would be urged to look after trees and retain them instead of cutting them down. “Trees along streets beautify the area,” said Marshall. A survey has looked at the current state of trees throughout the community and what steps may be needed if long-term goals are to be achieved. “Some areas of the central neighbourhood (downtown) will have to be more densely treed,” said Marshall.
“Middleton Mountain has hardly any trees.” Council has also endorsed the creation of a bylaw protecting trees that are at least 60 years old. “These are attractive and familiar neighbourhood features,” said Marshall. “A heritage tree bylaw could address issues such as the timing of removal if a tree is unhealthy or is a hazard.” A recent inventory indicated there are 265 heritage trees in lower East Hill, with 192 considered to be in good condition. There are 28 heritage trees downtown, with 17 trees in good health. More heritage trees were found on private property than on public land. Coun. Jack Gilroy believes there is a need to plant more trees and maintain those that already exist. “Forty-five years ago, main street (30th Avenue) had beautiful trees and they all were taken down. I’d like to see more green downtown,” he said.

Vernon continues to want a role in development at Silver Star. City council has indicated that it wants to remain part of the Silver Star planning and building service at the North Okanagan Regional District. “It’s a good thing to have a say on a community in our watershed,” said Coun. Shawn Lee. “There’s lots of development there and it’s good to Shawn Lee have a voice.” Lumby, Enderby and Coldstream are interested in withdrawing from the service which includes development permits, development variance permits, rezonings and official community plan amendments. Staff recommended to council that Vernon remain at the NORD table. “People are using our roads to get there and people are staying or shopping in Vernon when they go to Silver Star for holidays,” said Kim Flick, planning and building services manager. “It is highly desirable that Vernon have a role in
these planning matters as the future of Silver Star can have a direct impact on both commercial services and infrastructure in Vernon.” However, there are some concerns about participating in the function. “What about the costs of an official community plan update, which can be significant depending on the scope?” said Flick. In 2009, Vernon paid $20,719 towards the Silver Star function and that cost could increase if some jurisdictions withdraw. Coun. Jack Gilroy believes the financial investment is necessary so Vernon can vote on development issues at the Star. “What happens up there impacts us,” he said. “All of our roads go up there. We need to know what’s going on.”

North Okanagan RCMP members continue their crackdown on marijuana grow operations. Officers from the Vernon detachment’s rural unit executed a search warrant Wednesday afternoon in the 2800 block of Heywood-Armstrong road in Falkland. “The search located 1,854 marijuana plants in a shop on the property, and another 864 marijuana plant clones were located in a bedroom of the home,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “So our officers confiscated more than 2,700 plants from this location.” A 52-year-old man was arrested at the residence shortly after officers arrived at the property. He is expected to face charges of cultivation and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Police note there was no Hydro bypass located at this grow operation.

here once was a young polar bear, Who married a grizzly named Claire, Now you meet them downtown with their stroller, Showing off furry twins, One pizzly and one little grolar. I was interested to read recently that there are some new bears sharing our planet — not eating fruit from our backyard trees — but in Northern Canada. Polar bears are finding that smaller ice packs are limiting their hunting for seals at sea and they are forced to spend more time on land and are ranging further south into grizzly bear territory. At the same time, grizzlies are moving north to Wapusk National Park (it means white bear in Cree), on Hudson Bay Cara Brady in northeast Manitoba, one of the world’s largest polar bear maternity denning areas. The grizzly and polar bears, which became distinct species about 200,000 years ago, are interbreeding and the cubs have characteristics of both parents. This might have been happening for longer than anyone knew. A pizzly, or grolar, white with brown patches, was shot by a big game hunter in 2006 on Banks Island, N.W.T. Tests showed this bear was a second generation hybrid, meaningful because hybrids are often not able to reproduce. Some hybrid bears have been known in zoos around the world where grizzlies, brown bears and polar bears are kept together. Polar bears hunt from ice floes but they, and the hybrids, will eat reindeer, small rodents, seabirds and eggs and human garbage when on land, even showing a surprising ability to climb rock cliffs to get bird eggs, further changing the ecology of the north. Whether a person believes that climate change is man-made or part of longer, natural cycles — there was a period similar to the present one, but warmer, called the Eeemian, about 130,000 to 114,000 years ago — it seems that the animals are doing their best to adapt. Polar bears, about two-thirds of the world’s 22,000 polar bears are Canadian, survived that climate change and survived as the ice age gla-

ciers came back and then retreated. We are presently in the Holocene geological epoch which began about 12,000 years ago and is considered an interglacial (warm) period in the current ice age. Some people think that with climate change and interbreeding the polar bears will be extinct within 100 years and that the polar bears must be stopped from interbreeding to keep genetically pure. Well, how do you tell an amorous polar bear that he/she can’t be friends with the enticing grizzly because he/she is the wrong colour? I asked a few people. The answers: “Teach them suspicion and hatred of any species other than their own.” “Wait at places where bear trysts might happen and encourage them to just say no (or at least give them condoms).” “Give them a government grant so that they can do a study and come to their own solution.” I bet my Teddy bear these animals are instinctively smarter than we realize. They know change is happening and they are doing something about it — evolving and adapting to it so they can be sure to keep in the gene pool. It is difficult to understand why people who marvel at the process of evolution when it takes place over hundreds of thousands of years don’t like it when they actually see it. Animals and plants, and indeed, people, will always change in ways that assure the survival of future generations. As for keeping the species pure, who among us cannot go back a few generations in the family tree and find ancestors from a variety of backgrounds? We’re all hybrids and we’re healthier and better able to deal with change because of it. I say we let the bears do what our forebears have done for centuries and turn our attention to things we can do something about. The bears in the Arctic, and animals and plants around the world and our own area, are in immediate danger because of man-made industrial pollution that affects their health and ability to reproduce. Let us turn our attention to making the natural environment safe for all creatures to live and evolve. The Inuit have the best name for these new bears, nanulak, from nanuk (polar bear) and aklak (grizzly bear).
If nothing else, former solicitor general Kash Heed deserves credit for drawing attention to the negotiations between the provincial government and the RCMP for a new 20-year contract. Heed alleges that a police probe into his conduct as MLA is an attempt at character assassination at a crucial time in the RCMP’s history. Heed has been calling for more accountability for the RCMP and for that he may have made a few enemies on the force. But it’s unlikely the releasing of information in a warrant and charges related to alleged misuse of MLA funds to pay salaries of political operatives was merely an attempt to make Heed look bad and win public favour. As a career police officer and former solicitor general, Heed has experience to back up his assertions that the RCMP needs to do a better job policing itself. But his voice is just one among many calling for greater accountability after the handling of the missing women’s case, the death of Robert Dziekanski and recent stories of rogue police officers misusing their power. In light of these stories, it would be a surprise if the new contract failed to reflect the need to restore public confidence. Still, the RCMP has great experience and resources to offer, and the success of the regional integrated gang task force and the integrated homicide investigation team have proven the Mounties can work effectively with other police agencies. As for Heed, he should continue to ask for more police accountability but remain silent when it comes to his own affairs. – Black Press

Teachers respond to article
I
am responding to the Jan. 9 article by Katherine Mortimer titled “Education in need of major overhaul.” I agree with Mr. Turanski’s worry about district budgets and the unpredictability of funding. For the past 10 years there has been a chronic underfunding of public education. This starvation of the system is what really needs to be fixed. Since 2000, public education spending has dropped from 3.6 to 3.1 per cent of GDP. The government spent 26 per cent of its budget on education 20 years ago and 20 per cent 10 years ago, but now is down to 15 per cent. The falling funding ratio has resulted in a significant loss of funding to public education. If 2010/11 funding for K–12 education was restored to the 2001/02 percentage of the provincial budget, an additional $1.5 billion would be available for public education. If restored to 1991/92 ratios, an additional $3.7 billion would be available to meet the needs of students and resolve the outstanding issues facing public education in the coming years. I have some concerns about Mr. Turanski stating that an overhaul of the system is long overdue, coupled with the implication that at the forefront is the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21). This is a group in the U.S. that seeks to serve as a catalyst for educators, business leaders, and government seeking to change the curricula, teaching methods, and assessments used in K-12 schools. The assumption is that current system is antiquated, and needs to be reformed. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills' view is that competition and private alternatives improve sys-

tem quality. In fact, public education systems in the U.S. and the U.K. are struggling due to long-term underfunding and grinding erosion of over-testing. In B.C., since most of the government exams were made optional, Grade 12 students have largely chosen to stop writing these exams. At the same time, they are having more success in completing graduation requirements. This is particularly true for our aboriginal students. Reducing the testing regime is a reform of the system that has had an immediate positive change for our students. The FSAs are administered to every student in Grades 4 and 7, but they don’t help the teacher instruct or the student learn. The snapshot the Ministry of Education wants could be obtained by randomized testing which would be far less stressful to students and would be far less disruptive to teaching. Teachers have integrated all of the goals of the P21 group for years. Here are the 7 C’s promoted by the P21 group: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, cross-cultural understanding,
All of the fuss surrounding the HST seems to prove this general statement. While reading the letter, “HST hurts the working class,” I had a bemused wrinkle in my forehead and a “what are you talking about?” confusion in my mind. The letter seemed full of misunderstanding. In this country, we Canadians do have a perverse pleasure of voting lawyers and accountants into our legislatures and parliament, which leads to complex tax laws and forms – which employs many lawyers and accountants. The last time I worked through the T1 forms, I certainly see and understand a progressive tax system. If we look to the letter for a starting point – using the $16,000 earner and the $100,000 earner and assuming that this person is single (easier to make a point – because otherwise things get complex). The $16,000 earner with only the basic personal deduction would pay $843 in tax (income tax). The $100,000 earner with only
the basic personal deduction would pay $25,600. So simple math states that the $100,000 earner would pay a tax rate of 25.6 per cent and the $16,000 earner would pay a tax rate of 5.3 per cent. Unless I am missing something, this appears to be a progressive-tax rate system. The headline on the letter stated the dreaded HST words. And the letter further claims how it hurts the working class. Noting that the “single parent” (always a strong card to play) who earns $16,000 would pay $2,000 in HST (noting that the real number would be $1,920 – but always round up, or down, to support your argument). Again, I have the “what?” expression on my forehead, to what point the letter-writer is trying to make. The person who earns $16,000 would be using most of their earnings to pay for rent and food – both of which are HST (GST in the past) exempt. Whatever money the lowincome worker has left over, after rent and food, may pay some HST
communication, career and learning self-reliance, and caring for personal health and planet earth. In my 30 years of teaching science, I can vouch for my students showing growth in each of these areas. So why do we need a revolution and where is the need for a total restructuring? I agree completely with Mr. Turanski that “teachers are doing these things already." The Vernon Teachers’ Association has invited the school district to work together to look at curricular and education change. Perhaps we will be able to focus our energies on those aspects of the system that really do merit some change. Lastly, I do need to correct some impressions that might have been created by Mr. Turanski’s comments about contracts with teachers and support workers. We call these collective agreements because they are agreed to and signed by all parties. In fact, the signatures on the most recent agreement is signed by Mr. Turanski for the Vernon School District, myself for the VTA, and representatives from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public Sector Employers’ Association. We have parts of our collective agreement that are local issues in addition to those that are more general in nature for all teachers in B.C. It is very premature to talk about disruptions to the system. We haven’t even set our bargaining objectives yet. What is important for everyone to know is that we cherish the principles of free collective bargaining and we are looking forward to opening discussions with our employer to explore how we can continue to improve our working relationship. Bruce Cummings, president Vernon Teachers Association
on goods and services, but not even remotely close to $2,000. The $100,000 earner, after paying $25,000 in income taxes, would be able to support rent (or mortgage) and food without HST applying. After buying those necessities would likely have funds remaining to purchase goods and services to which HST is applied, and thus support our tax system. Further to our progressive tax system, we do have other support means for the lowest of income earners – to use the argument-card of the “single parent.” Under the progressive tax system, the single parent earning the $16,000 would pay no income tax and get HST refund support, child tax benefits support, B.C. health care premiums covered, B.C. rent credits and possibly other supports. Yes, taxes are inevitable, understanding them – not necessarily so. Which is why we seem to have a great amount of confusion around the HST and even income tax. Peter Lawson

Ryan Nitchie wants the upgrade to move ahead. “This is not a project to create a bike lane, but to re-do a street,” said Nitchie. “It’s budgeted, there’s been a favourable response from the chamber and if the additional costs are going to cause a financial impact, let’s take the extras out and go back to the original plan.” Council voted unanimously to table a decision on the project to its next regularly scheduled meeting, Feb. 14.

Armstrong council will have two new reserves to begin topping up as budget deliberations get set to begin. Council voted unanimously on staff recommendations to create a building replacement and environmental reserve. The building reserve fund would set up a financial provision to replace city-owned buildings. “With the age of city hall and the public works shop taken into consideration, steps need to be taken to plan for their eventual replacement,” wrote chief financial officer Terry Martens in a two-page memo to council. Martens is recommending council put $30,000 aside annually as a small first step in assisted funding for future replacement. The request will be deliberated by council over budget talks. The suggestion for the environmental reserve is to take the annual $1,300 carbon tax rebate the city receives from the province and top it up with $3,700 from general revenue for a $5,000 annual transfer. “Funds in such a reserve would only be used for offsetting projects and carbon credit purchases,” said Martens, citing staff obtaining a cost estimate for window replacement in city hall to be included in the new five-year budget as an example. “This project would be an eligible carbon offsetting project, and could be partially funded from this reserve,” wrote Martens. Council and staff will hold a prioritizing session and review existing budget policies on Feb. 14. Staff will start to prepare the 2011 budget from Feb. 15 to March 31 with council reviewing the proposed

said Spiers. “We should have found out if we could have gone back and got a better price.” In a letter to council, former councillor Barry Beardsell stated that staff wanted to sell the site for $210,000 in 2007. “This case merits investigation,” he said. City staff say they had the site appraised at $163,000 while the purchaser had it valued at $110,000. Gous says that under law, the city must offer lake accesses to adjacent
property owners and they can’t just be sold on the open market. Proceeds from the sale will go towards the purchase of other public lake accesses. Davison Road Property Leased A portion of City of Vernon-owned land will be used for agriculture. City council has approved Davison Orchards leasing a 3.6-hectare portion of property on Davison Road for 40 years. Opposition came from Councillors Patrick Nicol
and Bob Spiers. “This process should have been more public,” said Nicol. However, Leon Gous, chief administrative officer, says the standard lease rules were followed and the contract terms have been disclosed. “The process doesn’t require public input but it requires public transparency,” he said. The lease rate is $2,400 a year for the first five years, with reviews every five years. Davison Orchards will be responsible for property taxes,
Abbott adds to list of endorsements Morning Star Staff
Shuswap MLA George Abbott is garnering more support for his bid to be B.C.’s next premier. Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for building code renewal, and Ralph Sultan, West Vancouver-Capilano MLA, have endorsed Abbott’s campaign to become Liberal leader. “Having had the opportunity to observe the candidates and their campaigns, I’ve come to the conclusion that our province needs a leader who has an ability to connect with people, a leader who recognizes that there are truths on both sides of an issue,
and a leader who can work on solutions which transcend the usual partisan approaches,” said Yamamoto. Sultan says he developed five criteria to rank the prospective leaders’ platforms, experience and leadership style. “George comes first in a strong and talented field of Liberal candidates,” said Sultan. “What stands out for me is that George has owned and operated his own business and met payroll. In my experience, nothing builds character and common sense more than having to meet a payroll.” Sultan and Yamamoto
are among 17 cabinet ministers and MLAs
who have rallied behind Abbott, including
Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster.

Several grants are also being sought from community groups including the Lake Country Senior Bus Society and the Reach Out Youth Counselling and Family Services Society. Council will take another look at the proposed budget Feb. 3, and Baker says the municipality is well aware of the financial challenges facing many residents. “People don’t have a lot of money and we’re trying to keep the budget as bare bones as possible,” he said.

Dr. Joe Schwarcz will bring his love of science to Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus Feb. 10.
Famed scientist set to dazzle local crowd Morning Star Staff
Dr. Joe Schwarcz, director of the McGill University Office for Science and Society, will attempt to demystify the complexities of chemistry Feb. 10. The presentation will take place at 7:30 p.m. at Okanagan College’s Kalamalka campus and is hosted by the college and the Okanagan Science Centre. Schwarcz will address questions such as: Why, for years and years, there were no red M&M’s or how they get the maraschino cherry to float in the syrup inside a Cherry Blossom? What is the link between the bombardier beetle at the V-2 rocket? Why does popcorn pop? Why are there holes in Swiss cheese? Can chocolate really make you fall in love? Schwarcz is well known for his informative and entertaining public lectures on topics ranging from the chemistry of love to the science of aging. He has received numerous awards for teaching chemistry and for interpreting science for the public. Among
these are the Royal Society of Canada’s McNeil Award and the American Chemical Society’s prestigious Grady-Stack Award. His latest awards include the Royal Canadian Institute’s Sandford Fleming Medal, the Society of Chemical Industry’s Purvis Award and the Chemical Institute of Canada’s Montreal Medal. Schwarcz was also awarded an honorary Doctorate degree by
Athabasca University. “Dr. Joe” has appeared hundreds of times on the Canadian Discovery Channel, TV Ontario, Global Television, CBC-TV, CTV-TV and various radio stations. Admission is $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Contact the Okanagan Science Centre at www. okscience.ca or 5453644 for advanced purchase of tickets or for more information.
On behalf of The City of Vernon, R355 Enterprises Ltd. and Little Rock Blasting will be conducting Rock removal works from January 25th to February 25th, 2011.

Calls steady to crisis line Morning Star Staff
Activities at Vernon crisis line remained steady in 2010. Volunteers answered 3,599 calls last year. Of those 5.47 per cent were suicide-related, while 29.62 per cent of calls were from those coping with mental and emotional health issues. “With life’s many turns, we never know when a crisis is going to come our way, so knowing that there is always someone there to support us is critical,” said June Hawkins, program co-ordinator. “Our callers are from all walks and stages of life, in all kinds of situations. Of the other calls, 16.12 per cent were from people dealing with inter/intrapersonal conflict or family problems while 4.61 per cent were from people dealing with financial issues and 2.53 per cent were from those with substance and addiction issues. “Other calls dealt with issues such as health and sexual concerns, as well as abuse, legal and shelter needs,” said Hawkins. “Our commitment is to provide anonymous and non-judg-
mental, short-term emotional support.”
The crisis line is available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, at 250-545-2339.

Dix remark draws concern
A
s the minutes ticked down to last week’s deadline for NDP leadership candidates to sell memberships, the Adrian Dix campaign brought in stacks of memberships and bags of money, which was then divvied up and attached to memberships. Rival candidates Harry Lali and Mike Farnworth cried foul, but the party brass quickly decided the strict rules they imposed were just guidelines, and they’ll accept the memberships. So Dix is now the front-runner, assuming these thousands of suddenly inspired members from Vancouver’s South Asian and Filipino communities translate into votes for him on April 17. As stinky as all this is, it’s not the NDP’s biggest problem. Dix’s remarks in launching his campaign point to another one. He chose a theme of wealth redistribution. “Analysis from all over the developed world demonstrates that the polarization of wealth and power, and the growth of poverty, have very significant financial and social costs imposed on our children and our communities by the growing divide in our society,” he said. Dix didn’t indicate how he intends to correct this “morally wrong” situation where some people have lots of money and others don’t. But another political controversy in Vancouver offers a clue. B.C. Liberal MLA Kash Heed is being investigated by the RCMP over campaign leaflets distributed to the Chinese community in VancouverFraserview in 2009. The problem wasn’t the content, but rather the anonymous nature of the brochures and the way they were paid for. One leaflet claimed the NDP supports a “death tax” on inheritance. This would be one way to realize Dix’s dream of government-

My understanding is that if it weren’t for private capital, competition and rewards for efficiency and innovation, there wouldn’t be much of a developed world to analyze. The root of the recent turmoil in the NDP has been described as a lack of policies. That’s not accurate. Judging by the party’s foundation document, the problem is policies so discredited they can’t mention them. Actually there is a modern policy that equalizes wealth by supporting the poor and placing more of the burden on those most able to pay, while encouraging investment. It’s called the harmonized sales tax. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca.

Hydro plugs customers into usage TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. Hydro is getting ready to install “smart meters” across the province that will tell customers how much electricity they’re using at different times of the day. But unlike Ontario’s smart meters, the B.C. program will not immediately come with mandatory higher rates for peak period use and lower rates for non-peak times such as late at night. In its business case for the new meters, B.C. Hydro says customers will be offered an opportunity to choose “time of use” rates if they want them. But that promise only lasts until all the new meters are installed, by the end of 2012. The completion date was dictated by the B.C. government’s latest energy plan, part of Premier Gordon Campbell’s effort to encourage new clean energy sources and stop net electricity imports to B.C. B.C. Hydro says it’s still in the early stages of determining its rate structure for the smart
B.C. HYDRO PHOTO

Hydro accounts. meter era, and all rate changes must be approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The smart meter program is budgeted to cost $930 million, including meters, wireless networks and in-home displays for customers. NDP energy critic John Horgan said a new time-ofday rate structure is inevitable, but it can’t be imposed until customers have smart meters. He continues to question
the high initial cost, especially as B.C. Hydro raises rates and contracts with higher-cost private power producers. “If you had a billion dollars, is this the best way to spend it?” Horgan said. “And we’re looking at a 50 per cent rate increase over the next three years.” He suggested the money would be better spent helping people install energy-saving home upgrades such as
insulation and double-glazed windows. B.C. Hydro estimates that the smart meter program will produce a net savings of $500 million over the next 20 years, through improved reliability and efficiency as well as conservation of energy. The smart meters will report consumption automatically, eliminating the need for meter readers, and the new meters will also detect power outages and electricity theft. Installation is to begin by mid-2011, and customers will receive notices along with their bills when installers are coming to their community. Once a smart meter is installed, customers with computers will be able to log into their secure B.C. Hydro account and see a nearly realtime display of their electricity use. After meter installation is done in 2012, B.C. Hydro plans to offer rebates to people who want to purchase an in-home power consumption display that sits on the wall like a thermostat.

Abbott calling for reform of FSA tests in elementary TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Two Liberal leadership candidates have called for changes to provincewide testing for elementary school children, after the head of the B.C. Principals’ and Vice Principals’ Association joined the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in rejecting the current test program. Foundation Skills Assessment tests are currently being administered across the province to grade four and seven students, to measure reading, writing and number skills. The BCTF has fought against the tests for years, with teachers refusing to mark them and lobbying parents to exclude their children. Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who was briefly education minister before running to succeed Premier Gordon Campbell, said skills assessment tests are important. He suggested the testing regime could be modified to make it work better. “There is not an appropriate alternative to it at this point, but I do think that there is much merit in exploring how we could either supplement or improve FSA testing, to ensure that parents get the best possible understanding of how well their children are progressing,� said Abbott. He stopped short of calling for the FSA tests to be scrapped and replaced with new tests, as leadership rival and former advanced education minister Moira Stilwell suggested. “It seems clear to me that FSA is no longer the appropriate test,� Stilwell said. Jameel Aziz, president of the B.C. Principals’ and VicePrincipals’ Association, issued a statement last week that said the FSA has too much “political baggage.� Aziz said the problem is not flaws in the tests, but the time spent by administrators responding to questions from parents who get conflicting messages
from the ministry and teachers. This results in students either not
taking the tests, or not trying as hard as they should.
Aziz also objected to the use of FSA test results by the Fraser Institute
to rank schools, which he called a “misuse� of the data.
Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid sent a letter to parents

Gorillas get Moore than enough GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
It seems all the top teams in the B.C. Hockey League’s Interior Conference have an Achilles heel. The Westside Warriors can’t seem to beat the Merritt Centennials (Cents lead season series 5-0); neither the Salmon Arm SilverBacks nor the Trail Smoke Eaters have had much success against the Warriors (Westside leads those series 4-1 and 4-0 respectively) and the Penticton Vees can’t catch a break against the Vernon Vipers (Snakes have 4-0-1 edge). And following Tuesday night’s 3-0 home shutout loss to the SilverBacks, Vernon has to be wondering what it will take to get two points off the Gorillas. The Snakes fired 45 shots at first star netminder Kris Moore, who backstopped Salmon Arm to a 6-1 season series advantage and the club’s first shutout before 1,600 fans at Wesbild Centre. It is also the first time Vernon has been shut out this season. Moore, a Calgary native, has stopped 164 of the 173 shots in five appearances against the Vipers this season, good enough for a shining .948 save percentage (his season average is .912). “Teams have their number for other teams. Ours happens to be Vernon,” smiled Moore, standing outside a jubilant Salmon Arm dressing room. “It’s nice to get those (shutouts) against a top team like Vernon. I just tried to track (shots) on the way in. I had some help from the d-men on the ones that were tougher.” After surviving three consecutive penalties, including a twominute 5-on-3 disadvantage midway through the first period, the SilverBacks’ Brett Knowles opened the scoring at 11:51. He notched his 23rd goal, a shot from the high slot that appeared to deflect off a Viper defenceman, fooling Viper netminder Kirby Halcrow (27 saves) low stick side. Salmon Arm head coach Tim Kehler, who earned the bench minor that led to the 5-on-3,
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Vipers' Dane Muench lurks near the net looking for a rebound from Silverbacks' netminder Kris Moore in B.C. Hockey League action Tuesday night at Wesbild Centre. Moore recorded 45 saves as the SilverBacks shut out the Vipers 3-0. said surviving those early penalties provided a huge momentum swing. “Not that I want to take credit for putting our team down two men, but it was really that (penalty kill) that got us engaged in the game,” he said. “It was all Vernon until that point. We weren’t engaged in the defensive zone, we were turning off of pucks, we just didn’t look into it. “To have a full two minutes (of 5-on-3) and kill it off, it got our goaltender in the game and really buoyed the spirits of our group.” It was the second straight game in which Moore anchored his
team against a first-period barrage by the Vipers. Vernon outshot the visitors 19-7 heading into the first intermission Tuesday. “He has typically out-dueled whoever he’s faced in this rink and it has allowed our group to find our legs and really establish our team game,” said Kehler The Vipers did get possession in the offensive zone, but the majority of their shots came from the perimeter as SilverBack blueliners Clinton Atkinson (third star), Josh Manson, Charlie Vasaturo and Lumby’s Jayson Reardon hustled to contain Vernon’s forwards. Pat McGillis, the Vipers’ main
scoring threat on the night, had two prime opportunities in the first period and another great chance on a one-timer in the third, but was denied by Moore. Despite the high shot count, Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner was less than thrilled with his team’s effort, from the net outwards. “We weren’t fully invested in the game. We had some guys who were looking for an easy way to play,” said Ferner. “I can accept losses, but that’s not the point. The process was disappointing. “A goalie comes into our building and gets first star. We need that from our goaltending too.” Defenceman Stevie Weinstein, a three-year veteran with the Snakes, said it was a matter of

bearing down. “We had a lot of powerplays right off the bat and we were getting chances, we just didn’t bury them,” said the 20-year-old Los Angeles product. “Our first period was good, but we needed to feed off that and keep our energy, and we just didn’t. The effort wasn’t good enough.” The SilverBacks’ David Killip (19th) made it 2-0 at 7:18 of the second period after he fought off a check behind the net and beat Halcrow with a backhand wraparound. Jarryd Ten Vaanholt (17th) pounced on a turnover in the slot, ripping a slap shot past the Vernon netminder at 11:14 to complete the scoring.

Jonathan Gardner’s Sladen Moore cracked a sixpoint second end to ground 2000 champion Brad Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber 8-4. Gardners’ rink of Michael Longworth, Michael Hiram and Jonathan Hatten, will represent B.C. at the 2011 M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors starting Saturday in Calgary. After scoring a single steal in the first end, Kuhn, in a three-way tie for first with Ty Griffith’s Nufloors and Dave Merklinger’s Jet Ice at 11-4, racked on a guard in the second, leaving Gardner a hit for six in a crowded house. Kuhn responded with singles in the next three ends before Gardner, now 9-7, ended the comeback with singles in six and seven. Jenn Gerow’s Gateway Mechanical made it two wins in a row as they ambushed Jim Cotter’s Woodland Equipment 9-2. After holding Cotter to a single in the first end, Gerow, now 5-10, went on a roll, recording one in the second followed by back-to-back doubles in the third and fourth. Cotter (10-5) counted one in five, but Gerow iced the game with a four in six. Fielding a full team for the first time in weeks, defending B.C. men’s champion Jeff Richard (B.C.

Richard (3-11) opened with singles in the first two ends before Gunner (2-13) countered with a single in three and double in four. A single in four and double in five by Richards were enough to force handshakes. T.J. Perepolkin got no rest on his bye week as he subbed for Griffith’s Nufloors in a 7-2 win over Wayne Laface’s Inspiration Homes. Tied 2-2 after three ends, Nufloors scored a huge five-point fourth end to earn an early night upstairs. With Darin Heath shot calling for Merklinger, the Jet Ice rink played a tight game to brush back Blake Kimura’s Village Green Hotel 5-2. Defensive play saw the two teams tied 1-1 after three ends, but Jet Ice recorded a double in four and single in five, which was enough for them to ride out the win. Kimura is 5-9.

Morning Star Staff
A pair of top-100 world ranked players will chase a $6,000 purse in the National Bank Financial/ Novus Energy Winter Carnival Open Squash Tournament, Feb. 11-13, at Rosters Sports Club. Tournament director Sherman Dahl said both Robin Clarke of Toronto – rated No. 77 – and Andrew McDougall of Calgary – ranked 98th – have confirmed entry in the open draw. Former junior superstar Andrew Schnell of Calgary – rated No. 6 in Canada – Calgary club pro Bob Ballinger and Andrew Lynn of Vancouver – ranked No. 9 in Canada – are also booked. Home-schooled all his life, Schnell, 18, is now attending the University of Calgary to study philosophy and law; the latter being the backup plan if things don’t work out with squash. He plays on the Professional Squash Association Tour. “This is one of the strongest and most competitive draws in the tournament’s history,” said director Morey Walker.

Toronto’s Robin Clarke, rated No. 77 in the world, is one of 80 competitors vying for a piece of the $6,000 purse at the National Bank Financial/Novus Energy Winter Carnival Open Squash Tournament, Feb. 11-13, at Rosters Sports Club. Added director Iain Butler: “Vernon will once again host a world-class tournament. This will rival the level of squash I was used to seeing in my home country of England – where squash is a huge sport.” Dahl said the tournament is full with 80 players, including A through D divisions and a men’s over 50
class. The open champion pockets $1,500 and the runner-up earns $1,250. There will be a pub night dinner on the Friday and a tournament dinner with entertainment on the Saturday. Play starts late Friday afternoon. “We could not host this event without the support of our local members and
businesses,” said Gus Morris of Rosters. Other sponsors helping pad the prize pool are: Raven Traders, RB Squash Sales, Re/Max-Murray Bennetto, Advertising Works, KPMG, Lunde Architect, Midian Coffee Co. (Lorne Lillemo), Nixon Wenger, Predator Golf Resort, Kal Tire and Monashee Surveying.
The Scotiabank Scorpions slammed the host Winfield Bruins 7-3 in North Okanagan Bantam Super Hockey League action Saturday. The Scorpions got off to a quick 3-0 lead, but let Winfield sneak back to within one before blowing it open with four goals in the third. Trey Spanier played great for the Scorpions facing 27 shots, recording some key saves when the game was close. Cole Adams and Landon Munk filled in on defence as the Scotiabank coaches gave rock-steady d-man Solomon Ivanoff a game at forward. Megan Johnston and Tom Wolgram played another solid game on defence. The line of Brock Wagner (4+2), Aaron Keryluke (2+3) and Rowyn Lewis-Hatherley (1A) led the Scorpions offensively. Nik Negraiff was in perfect position to slam home the seventh goal. Brenden Zupp earned 4+1 as the Vernon Authentic Plaque and Trophy Hitmen beat the Corbett Office Supply Sharks 6-4. With the Sharks leading 3-1 in the second, Zupp scored twice and set up another by Luke Lawrence, then scored two more in the third. Liam Semeniuk also scored for the Hitmen, while d-man-captain Adam Tyk, Alex Strutt and Lucas Mitchell had key assists in support of Joe Tronson.

The Sladen Moore Pee Wee Female team continued their steady improvement, losing 4-3 to the Butcher Boys Red Wings and rallying to clip the Adams Disposal Storm 5-4. The Lakers took a 3-1 lead on the Wings into the third on goals by Samantha Head and Andie Kaneda on great individual efforts utilizing their shootout deke skills. Call-up Molly Box, playing in her first game with the Lakers, then set up Emily Clarke extending the lead to 3-1 and later just missed making it 4-1 snapping a wrister off the crossbar. The Red Wings, who have only lost one game all season, rallied for the win, scoring three third-period goals. On Saturday, the Lakers battled back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Storm 6-5. Hard-working dynamo Jordan Butler, one of three Atom-age players on the Lakers, scored the first two goals and sparked the comeback.

Blazers tops Morning Star Staff
Cole Hadland scored on a slapshot from the point with 27 seconds left in double overtime as the Nedco Blazers bounced the Talon Benefits Titans 7-6 in Sunday’s final of the Vernon Midget Rec Hockey Tournament at Civic Arena. Scott Reczka fired four goals in regulation for the Blazers, while Adam Fenske had a pair. Fenske and Blazer goalie Bruin Stair shared game MVP. The Nedco gang grabbed an early 2-0 lead only to have the Titans reel off six unanswered goals before Nedco rallied in the third. “It was a very exciting hockey game,” said Blazer head coach Rick Gosselin. “Both sides played extremely well. Our team played their hearts out and showed tremendous character. They did not give up, kept working hard and battled back from a four-goal deficit to gain the win in double overtime. I am extremely proud of them.” Devan Head, Brendan Squair and Steven Goebel each netted two assists for the Blazers. Clayton Coles and Stair shared net duties. The Blazers opened with a 10-1 thumping of Merritt with Head pulling the hat trick and Reczka and Chad Lindenbach each scoring twice. Game MVP Sam Whitelaw, Hadland and Fenske had singles in support of Stair. Reczka pulled the hatty, while Connor Butte-Landsfried, Squair

Game MVP d-man Ward Mercer, assisted by Tyson Clark, ended the game in dramatic fashion when he scored on a bullet shot from the point.

Tucker takes collegiate weekly honours Morning Star Staff
Former All-Canadian Preston Tucker showed great leadership as the UBC Okanagan Heat faced a tough winning collegiate volleyball road trip last weekend. “Preston showed excellent maturity and intelligence in a tough battle against
the (Capilano) Blues and (Douglas College) Royals,” said Heat head coach Greg Poitras of the BCCAA Player of the Week. The Vernon product ran a good offence, leading the Heat to a 0.333 kill efficiency against Capilano, with more than half his team’s attacks
being kills. Tucker finished the night with seven digs, one ace and one kill. He was counted on the most Saturday against the highly-ranked Royals. “Preston definitely delivered as 20 Heat points occurred with him at the service line, including five of our 12 aces,” said Poitras.
HURRY IN!
“Even when the tough-serving Douglas squad relentlessly attacked the Heat, Preston was still able to produce quality set after quality set for the hitters from UBC Okanagan to attack and score.” The Heat are 11-1 and have a bye before hosting Camosun Chargers of Victoria Feb. 4.

A
s our government invests in health care, education and social services, it is important that there is economic activity to support them. The resource extraction sector is one of the main sources of new wealth for Canada. Transportation links must be established to get our commodities to market and this is where roads, rail and pipelines are essential to our economic well-being. On Dec. 2, Nathan Cullen, NDP MP for SkeenaBulkley Valley, tabled a motion that would stop oil tanker traffic from pacific coast ports. Colin Mayes This is in reaction to the proposed pipeline from Edmonton to Kitimat and the export of oil to Asian markets via oil tankers. Oil tanker traffic already occurs off the B.C. coast as oil is transported from Alaska to the continental U.S. New regulations were adopted after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1990, making double-hulled requirements for all new oil tankers. To date, there has never been an oil spill from a double-hulled tanker. All single-hulled tankers will be phased out this year. Of the 475,000 marine vessels that reach the coast of B.C. annually, only 1,500 vessels (0.3 per cent) are large oil tankers. During the Dec. 2 debate, it was mentioned that British Columbians did not want the Edmonton to Kitimat pipeline, the super tanker port and were against the oil sands project In Alberta. Cullen stated that the B.C. coast is ‘unique’ and very environmentally sensitive. Well, all ecosystems are ‘unique’ and protecting the environment is no less important in other parts of Canada or the world. Presently, 260,000 jobs are tied to the oil sands. Cullen has spoken out against both the pipeline and the oil sands projects. Our economy would benefit from jobs being created in the building of the pipeline and port facilities to and in Kitimat as well as the benefits of tax revenue going to the provinces of B.C. and Alberta. This is not economic growth at any cost but rather having regulations and standards in place so that as private capital creates wealth for Canada, we can be assured it is done in an environmentally responsible way. Development of our resources means jobs for families and services for all citizens. Consequently, I voted against this motion as tanker traffic is safe and governed by stringent international and Canadian regulations.

An attention grabber, to say the least, the replica of the Bluesmobile, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inside of it, accompanied by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheriff,â&#x20AC;? managed to attract quite the crowd last September in Kelowna. In fact, they even gained the attention of the original Elwood Blues: Dan Aykroyd. When Peachlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grant Eisworth heard that the man he has played in his tribute act, The Blues Brothers Too, was coming to Kelowna, it was an opportunity he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss. The famous Canadian comedian/actor was in the Okanagan last fall to promote Crystal Head vodka, and fans had flocked to the liquor store to meet him. So when the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blues Brothersâ&#x20AC;? pulled up in front of the liquor store with the replica of the famed car â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; actually a former police vehicle from New Mexico found through eBay â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; word quickly got out. However, Aykroyd was too busy inside signing autographs to come outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were a bit shy at first to do it, but we thought, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, we have to,â&#x20AC;? said Eisworth, about showing up at the event in full Blues Brothers regalia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Dan heard about the Bluesmobile, he said he wanted to see it. He eventually came out and met with us, signed the Bluesmobile, which adds a little authenticity to it now, and said it was the best one he had ever seen.â&#x20AC;? Those who flock to next Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Carnival parade will get to see the famed car, with all its bells and whistles, and well as the men behind it, when Blues Brothers Too returns to Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re high energy and in your face, plus with the car with its great, big speaker, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice us,â&#x20AC;? laughs Eisworth who has brought his act to numerous community parades, including Winter Carnival, usually win- â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grant ning awards in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of first places at events for comedy/music, but we do have an unfair advantage as the Blues Brothers are so well known. People often call out lines from the film to us. They are passionate about it.â&#x20AC;? Back from a brief incarceration to be a part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carnival, The Blues Brothers Too will also put on a full show band revue at the Vernon Recreation Centre, Feb. 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a full band now,â&#x20AC;? said Eisworth, who will be joined by Kerry Martison as Jake Blues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are honoured to have world-class musicians with us. They even dress up,

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just the songs, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancing. You get the whole package.â&#x20AC;? More than just a car, Eisworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tribute act to The Blues Brothers is an homage to the film that starred Aykroyd and the late John Belushi as brothers who try to save the orphanage where they were raised by reuniting their R&B band in concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That darn movie is on every time I turn on the TV,â&#x20AC;? said Eisworth, responding to why he chose to pay tribute to The Blues Brothers. In fact, it was Eisworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife who came up with the idea. One of the organizers of Peachlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Music Festival, which primarily features tribute artists and acts, Eisworth had never performed Eisworth before, but he had a lot of friends in the business, including Marty Edwards, best known as Kinda Kenny (a Kenny Rogers tribute) and Larry Merchison (who has played Ed Sullivan from all over B.C. to Vegas.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never sung in my life. I was the emcee of the festival,â&#x20AC;? said Eisworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife suggested that I give it a try. I thought I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sing, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a good lip syncher, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did.â&#x20AC;? Wanting to stir up the crowd, Eisworth secretly changed into his black hat, tie and sunglasses, enlisting someone to play Jake, and performed one song, not telling anyone except Edwards, Merchison and his wife what he was planning.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;People often call out lines from the film to us. They are passionate about it.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I changed back into my regular duds and continued organizing the event, people kept coming up to me to ask when the Blues Brothers were coming on again,â&#x20AC;? he said. Soon after, he was invited to perform at a Peachland chamber of commerce event, and realized he was on to something. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also thought if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do this, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lip sync, so after three or four times of going on stage, I decided to sing the songs,â&#x20AC;? said Eisworth, who has sang as Elwood ever since, adding, there have been a few different Jakes over the years, including a woman. Now with a seven-member band â&#x20AC;&#x153;powerful enough to turn goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk into gasoline,â&#x20AC;? including a three-person horn section, as well as fellow tribute artists who play various characters from the film, including the sheriff (Chris England) who even has his own police car, The Blues Brothers Too have become a hot commodity. Last year, they were one of the headline acts at Peachfest in Penticton, and they also wowed the crowds in Kelowna as the opening, and closing act, for Parks Alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We perform all the signature songs, like Rawhide and Sweet Home Chicago, as well as classic rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll numbers, Johnny B Goode, La Bamba, and even one by ZZ Top, which we changed to match with the Blues Brothers style. We have so much fun on stage,â&#x20AC;? said Eisworth. The Blues Brothers Too Show Band Revue takes place at the Vernon Recreation Centre auditorium Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Vernon Winter Carnival office.

Morning Star Staff
Visual poet Derek Beaulieu not only writes and recites words, he makes art from them. The author of four books of poetry and two volumes of conceptual fiction, Beaulieu has generated some of the most radical and challenging contemporary writing in Canada. The Calgary-based artist speaks at Gallery Vertigo today in an event sponsored by the Vernon artist-run gallery, Okanagan College, and the Canada Council for the Arts. Beaulieu is best known for his intentionally unreadable word poems. He works with Letraset — a dry-transfer lettering that’s rubbed onto a paper’s surface –– entirely by hand to create his word art. He recently unveiled a new letter poem, which is now on display in the window of a Calgary bookstore. “As a child, I was always reading,” Beaulieu told Lynda Sea in Calgary’s Avenue
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION SUBMITTED
Calgary artist Derek Beaulieu, shown with one of his visual poems, reads from his works at Gallery Vertigo tonight at 7 p.m. Magazine. “I was definitely influenced by Dr. Seuss’s On Beyond Zebra! There are some very strange graphic Seussian symbols with
curlicue letters that sort of remind us of text. And I read comic books continuously, because there’s this interplay between text and pictures.” One of Beaulieu’s largest and most complex pieces is an 18-by-53-inch print with several thousand characters, which took him four months to complete. Based on French artist Blaise Cendrars’ book, Prose of the Trans-Siberian, the piece combines abstract art and prose on 150 copies of paper to equal the height of the Calgary Tower. An educator, who works for the Calgary board of education and at Mount Royal University, Beaulieu currently runs the small independent press, No Press. He has also been the editor and publisher of Housepress and Dandelion, and has spoken and written on poetics internationally. Beaulieu gives a literary reading at Vertigo, #1-3001 31st. St., today at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

UBCO students put their art on the line Black Press
UBC Okanagan’s art department puts it all on the line this week with their signature fundraiser, Art on the Line, raising money for the fine arts graduating students’ final show. This popular event routinely sells out long before the date, although there is still a way to get in on the action. For $10, anyone who is interested in watching the proceedings, and maybe picking up one of the 25 pieces remaining at the end of the night, can come in and watch the ticket holders’ mad scramble. Art on the Line ticket holders are given time to preview a selection of work from the students and a few local artists
before a random draw is held to determine who will get to pick a piece. One can only pick a piece once one’s number is drawn, making the selection process tricky. “We were very lucky this year. Almost a third of the art was donated by professional artists,” said Nicole Dowhaniuk, who is co-organizing the event with Lacia Vogel. For the young artists who are still attending school, the added selection from professional artists is a boost on two fronts. For one, the more professional work rolls in, the less there’s a need for students to donate their own. Donating work to the show, while fun, can be taxing for those trying to pull together a portfolio
of work and also saddled with limited budgets. The students do not make any money directly from the event, though it is a good way for them to build a name. The student’s work is juried before the event and there are 125 pieces included, though only 100 tickets sold. A quick review of some of the pieces up for auction reveals they likely have nothing to worry about as there will be a huge range of talent on display. Vogel has included a print of her notebook with doodles and thoughts all written onto the edge of a page, for example. Dowhaniuk, mean-
while, has included some unique pieces which look like fashion sketches. And for those looking for that outsidethe-box piece, there’s a handmade iron chair and a rock suspended from a hook. “The great thing about sculpture is you don’t have to worry about hanging it,” said Vogel. This is the first year students have been able to earn credits for organizing the Art on the Line event. The jury process alone takes two meetings to ensure a good selection of artwork to suit the target market. Art on the Line runs Saturday at the Fipke Centre on the UBCO campus in North
Kelowna. Doors open at 6 p.m., the draw starts at 7:30 p.m.
Given the right address, anything is possible.

Dreams
T
he appeal of Dreams is that it’s an album of cover material by an artist who’s been extensively covered by others. Neil Diamond, who originated from the Brill Building school of pop songcraft, even covers himself here. I’m a Believer is a song that should be retired from active Dean Gordon-Smith use, as another track here should (more on that later.) Anyway, I’m a Believer is shifted down from frenetic pop to a calmer, thoughtful reading. This definitely sounds different than the usual, so Diamond is flexing his creativity here in interesting ways. Diamond’s take on Ain’t No Sunshine preserves the autumnal mood of the original Bill Withers song, and it fleshes out the arrangement with sympathetic guitar and keyboards.

NO EARLY BIRDS PLEASE Neil Diamond releases his new album of covers, including versions of his own songs. Blackbird and Alone Again (Naturally) don’t fare so well: The Beatles’ track is unsuccessfully countrified with fiddles, and Alone Again sticks too close to the insipid sentiments of the original –– a better choice could’ve been considered. The best part of Diamond’s ideas for these songs seems to be the angle he approaches them from: they sound best when he smooths them over –– no posturing, hype or flash.

hint of resignation that is found in Diamond’s voice when he relaxes in ballad mode. He redeems his own cover of Hallelujah (please, stop – even Leonard Cohen has called for a “moratorium” on the song) with Yesterday and Desperado. Diamond finds a kindred spirit in the McCartney side of the Fab Four, and his Eagles’ track realizes the muted grandeur that is lurking in the original. Except for a few duds, Diamond brings out some gems that need another listening.

Family learns together Late French Immersion program has been an ideal way for siblings to learn the language RITA TEDESCO Special to The Morning Star
The Vernon School District offers many excellent, unique learning opportunities for students. One of the district programs that is now going into its eighth year is the Late French Immersion Program. This program begins at Grade 6 and then continues into Grade 7, bridging with early immersion at Grade 8. The program is housed at Harwood elementary and is thriving. We interviewed Grade 10 Seaton student Kate Alexander who took the Late French Immersion (LFI) program and is now well on her way to developing excellent fluency in the French language. Why did you choose Late French Immersion? I wanted to learn French and become bilingual. I heard that speaking French would offer me more opportunities, especially living in Canada. I also wanted to
meet new friends and the LFI class seemed like a great opportunity to do so. What was it like for you? It was challenging but lots of fun at the same time. There was quite a bit more homework than what I was used to, but after the first term most of us were speaking well enough to communicate with others for the whole day. By the end of Grade 6 I was speaking fluently and had made new friends. What makes this program and the learning unique? When I graduate I will be officially bilingual. There is really no other program in the district where you can learn another language in two years. Also the class was made up of students from all over the district and I became friends with students I would have never met. How has this program changed the course of your education and your life? My father calls it “academic boot camp” and in a way it is. I had to learn to be extremely organized and focused. These skills have really helped me to continue and do well with the immersion program in high school. I also think it has opened many new doors for me. Because of LFI, this year I have the opportunity to travel to Quebec
for a week with an exchange program through Seaton. This will be my second time, as my Grade 7 LFI class went in 2008. Also next year, in Grade 11, I am planning to travel to France to live with a family for three months and attend a French high school. When I graduate I will receive a double Dogwood, which says I am bilingual. If I choose to I can attend SFU and receive a bachelor’s degree in both French and English, an opportunity I would not have had if I had not taken LFI. Who is this program best suited for? I feel it is best suited for students who are determined to put the time and effort into learning a new language. The successful students in my classes did their homework, listened to the teacher and always put their best effort into everything they did. Students who enjoy learning and challenging themselves will do well in Late French Immersion. Grade 5 students are eligible to register for the September 2011 school year. For more information, please call Harwood elementary at 250-542-5385. The parent information evening will be on Monday at 7 p.m. in the Harwood library. Program registration opens on Jan. 31 at 9 a.m. at the Harwood school office, 4320-20th St.
Alzheimer Society presents workshop for caregivers Morning Star Staff
The Family Caregiver Education series of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. offers a workshop for people who are caring for someone with dementia Feb. 11 and 12.

Parents worry about gay son
D
ear Annie: Our son, “Colin,” is 19 years old and a sophomore in college. He was always helpful and a good student. Last spring, Colin became rude and condescending. We found out he was living with a 33-year-old man who is infected with HIV. This man was controlling and used sexual blackmail to keep Colin in line. We finally got our son back home, but it was a long, difficult summer. When Colin announced that he was gay, my husband Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar and I sought advice from several clergy. Most of them said to turn our backs on him until he asked for our forgiveness for living sinfully. We decided instead to take the advice of our priest, who said to accept his orientation, hard as that has been. All we’ve asked of Colin is that he do well in school, get a job to help pay off the legal bills that resulted from extricating him from his previous relationship and not be sexually promiscuous. Colin contracted various STDs and should avoid sexual contact anyway. Our requests seemed reasonable to us. Unfortunately, when Colin returned to school, he became sexually involved with
ANNIE'S MAILBOX
at least two different men and even asked to bring one home for the holidays. Of course, we said no. We could live with his orientation if he would live a moral lifestyle. So far, he has not tested positive for HIV, although that is still a worry. We have told him we will not pay any more medical bills, since we can’t afford it. From the horrible way he treats us, I regret that we were so kind to him over the summer. Counseling didn’t help him see the error of his ways. He is a bad influence on his little sister. How should we handle this? — Heartbroken Parents Dear Parents: We know Colin’s sexuality is disturbing to you, but try to separate his orientation from his impulsive lifestyle. He is 19 and living away from home for the first time. In college, many children, gay or straight, become sexually active. Unfortunately, some also are promiscuous, drink too much, do drugs, engage in risky behaviors and otherwise behave like wild animals let loose. Most kids settle down eventually, and the hope is that they don’t do any permanent damage in the interim. Please contact PFLAG (pflag.org) for some emotional support and practical suggestions. Dear Annie: I have been caring for my disabled husband while working full time and raising two children. I haven’t had
time alone in 15 years. Now my children are grown, and they want to give me a mini-vacation as a gift. They offered to stay with Dad while I go away for a four-day weekend. My husband is upset and says if I truly cared for him, I would not want to get away. He is doing his best to make me feel guilty. Is he being selfish, or am I? — Need a Break Dear Need: Your husband has become completely dependent on you and fears your absence. All caregivers need to recharge their batteries. Reassure your husband that you love him, that you will come back refreshed, and that the kids will do a wonderful job taking care of him. Then have a great time. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Loving and Missing all at the Same Time,” whose daughter is an inconsiderate slob. When my kids were in high school, I got tired of their stuff scattered all over the house. I said if I found anything lying around when I got up in the morning, I would wake them to put it away. The rub was, I wouldn’t tell them what or where it was. Sometimes, by the time they found it, they were wide awake and irritated. My daughter was a slow learner. Many days, she would come home and her clothes would be scattered in the front yard. Fortunately, we had understanding neighbors. — Omaha, Neb.
Swans and eagles counted by citizen scientists JIM BODKIN North Okanagan Naturalists’ Club
Once again our reliable regulars reported they enjoyed participating and socializing as citizen scientists in this year’s outing for our annual swan and eagle count. We had more newbies than usual taking part, including one full family carload, so that bodes well for the ongoing viability of this club project. Please consider joining us next year; no need to be an expert birder and, if nothing else, it is a pleasant or an adventurous Sunday drive or maybe both… regardless you get bragging rights for being intrepid enough to venture forth in the midst of winter to collect avian data very much needed to help us better understand and cope
with our ever-changing environment. Some routes are urban, some are suburban, some are more boonies oriented, some are done by just a couple of people, others by a couple of carloads… lots of choice so why not choose to make a lasting contribution to the ongoing wellbeing of our swans and eagles and take part? This year’s count experienced quite good winter weather. No fog, snow squalls or other serious visibility or driving problems were reported; most areas reported a few sunny breaks appearing about noon or thereabouts and easy road access on their routes. As usual, ponds and shallow lakes were frozen but temperatures were mild enough that most streams were

at least partially open and shoreline icing on the larger lakes was not a problem. No Tundra Swans or Golden Eagles were spotted this year. None were counted last year either. We counted 144 Trumpeter Swans, 120 adults and 24 immature, as well as 122 Bald Eagles, 96 adults and 26 immature. Counting adult and immature birds separately helps give an idea of breeding success or failure. This compares with only 88 Bald Eagles being counted last year and only 112 Trumpeter Swans, but last year had visibility problems due to fog on some routes and that could account for much of the count difference. It’s only when the count numbers from all the other B.C. count
areas are put together along with the data from the many other years we have been keeping track of swans and eagles that we can get a meaningful sense of what is happening. Fluctuations and trends in the numbers of swans and eagles being counted can be an important warning signal of shifts happening regarding the ecological health of our natural world. Our environment is not always changing for the better
or in ways that are as well understood as they should be. Give me a call at 250545-7455 if you want to become a citizen scientist helping to collect the basic raw data needed to help us better understand what is happening to this world we all call home. You do not need to be an expert birder or club member to help us do what needs doing. Jim Bodkin is coordinator for the club’s swan and eagle count.

News Heed exceeds limit
Change channels and change lives.
TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Former public safety minister Kash Heed went over the election spending limit in his 2009 campaign in VancouverFraserview, according to court documents produced by the NDP opposition. After an Elections B.C. audit discovered expenses over the limit by $4,135.70, acting chief electoral officer Craig James made several demands for updated financial information on the campaign, the documents show. In a letter to Heed Dec. 2, James granted a final extension and warned Heed his next step is to recommend the seat be vacated if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply. A special prosecutor is still reviewing the case, after charges of Elections Act violations were laid against two of Heedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign officials related to unauthorized campaign pamphlets distributed to voters. On Dec. 24, Heedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer applied to the B.C. Supreme Court, asking for relief from a demand he file updated financial information. In an affidavit, Heed says he depended on his official agent Barinder Singh Sall and financial agent Satpal Johl to handle campaign funds and comply with the rules. Sall, Johl and Dinesh Khanna, whose print shop produced the anonymous brochures, were charged in May 2010 with violating the Elections Act. Sall and Khanna also face Criminal Code charges for obstruction of justice and creating a false document, while Johl is charged with making a false election finance report.

Interestingly, it is likely to be some of your old endeavors rather than any new ones that will hold the biggest advantages for you in the near future. Stick to what you know and/or have, because this is where your luck resides.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Both old and new friends will be willing to perform beneficial roles in your affairs should you need help. What one or more may do for you will strengthen all your alliances.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Do whatever you can to constructively make your presence felt within your social sphere. Being part of the “good old boy” network could have a huge advantage for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Give priority to any situation that has profitable possibilities, even in areas you’ve never explored. It is likely to be one of those rare times when you could make money blindfolded.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) You may discover that you are in a stronger position than you ever realized in a competitive, careerrelated situation. Once it becomes obvious to you, you can make the most of it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) There is no need to wait on others to approve or okay your plans. If what you have in mind holds promise, they will happily jump on board your bandwagon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Every once in a while our minds are sharper than usual, which is likely to be the case for you currently. You’ll have the ability to easily solve problems that others find insurmountable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There will be profit in the pipeline for you, so when you see a chance to do more than usual involving your work, don’t hesitate to take advantage of what is being offered. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When it comes to people who are near and dear to your heart, there is nothing you wouldn’t do to make them happy. Coincidentally, what you want for them is also what they want for you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Because you’re industrious and consistent, everything will have a way of working out to your ultimate advantage. It behooves you to tackle things that usually give you a hard time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Now is the time to get on a situation that you’ve been avoiding because of the political overtones involved. Lady Luck will help you maneuver yourself through all the power plays. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll find yourself in a position where you should be able to resolve a complicated arrangement that has so far eluded your mitts. Don’t waste this opportunity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It isn’t likely that you will be deprived of something that is justly due you. Those holding will easily relinquish anything to which you are truly entitled.

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 Edward R. Murrow said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.â&#x20AC;? In bridge it is the information of distribution that sometimes allows us to know what is true -- as in this deal. West leads the club four against three no-trump. What should East do? To ďŹ nd the winning defense, East must analyze both the bidding and his partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead. First, in the auction South showed ďŹ ve hearts and four diamonds. (Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raise to three diamonds invited game.) Second, as East can
see the club three in the dummy and the club two in his own hand, he knows that West has led from exactly a four-card suit. This means that South must have started with three clubs. So, if declarer has ďŹ ve hearts, four diamonds and three clubs, he must also hold only a singleton spade. How does that help? East should now see how to defeat the contract. After taking the ďŹ rst trick with his club ace, he cashes the spade ace. When South plays the king, East continues with a low spade. West will win with his queen and return his last spade, giving the defense one club and four spades.
The only danger is when West has kingqueen-third of spades -- he must appreciate the need to throw his king under Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ace to unblock the suit. (One plays the top of touching honors when one is unable to win the trick and chooses to signal with an honor.)

She was a gentle, strong woman with an infecƟous laugh and a deep love for those around her. Joanne was born in Kimberley, BC, and developed a love for the Rockies and the outdoors. She moved from the Kootneys in her 20’s, but a piece of her heart remained in her Rockies for the rest of her life. She was predeceased by her twin brother James and her parents Esther and Allen. She will be forever missed by her children Amber, MaƩhew, and Heather, her ex-husband Flemming, extended family and many friends. The family thanks Dr. Ken Perrier, the nurses at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, and the staī at the Wal-Mart pharmacy for all the care they provided for Joanne. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Condolences or quesƟons regarding the memorial can be sent to the family at rememberingjo@gmail.com.
