News Accuser’s stories grilled by defence
READY, AIM, FIRE
ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Olivia Sawka (above), a Silver Star Elementary School Grade 4 student, shows perfect curling form Tuesday during the Jam Can Curling event at the Vernon Recreation Complex’s Centennial Rink. Below, Justin Moore, a Beairsto Elementary School Grade 5 student, displays his skill during the Vernon Winter Carnival event.
The defence went on the offensive during the Supreme Court trial of a former Vernon teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with one of her students. G. Jack Harris, the lawyer for the accused, Deborah Louise Ashton, attacked the credibility of the accuser, now 21, during two days of gruelling cross-examination Tuesday and Wednesday at the Vernon Court House. The alleged relationship, according to the accuser, took place when he was in Grade 7 when Ashton was a teacher, vice-principal and basketball coach at his school, and carried on for more than a year until the accuser turned 14 on Jan. 31, 2004, when he was then in high school. Harris questioned the accuser’s claim of having sex with Ashton “every second or every third day,� saying that if he did the math correctly, that would result in more than 200 sexual encounters with Ashton, and that the dalliances were made up to insult and embarrass his client. “I’m going to suggest, sir, that if you had sex with Ms. Ashton 212 times in two years, somebody would have seen you,� said Harris. “Tiger Woods is a millionaire and he got caught.� “Maybe if I had texted her we would have got caught,� replied the accuser. “You’re saying you had sex 212 times in two years. True?� asked Harris. “I think so,� replied the accuser, who looked confused throughout Harris’s cross examination as he tried to remember dates and events, often resting his head against his hand in the witness box. Harris called into question the accuser’s accounts of trips to the movies with Ashton and other friends. On one occasion, the accuser had said that Ashton had taken his hand after tapping her on her shoulder and held it under his jacket. This happened after the accuser testified she had told him to stop tapping her earlier during the movie. “I’m going to suggest it was the hand-tapping on her shoulder that was bothering her, so she took your hand and held it down on the armrest, to stop you from bothering her,� said Harris. “She held my hand to stop me?� asked the accuser. “That’s not what I remember.� Harris disputed the accuser’s versions and timelines of different events, saying his story changed from the statement he gave to police to the testimony he gave under oath. That included having sex in his own home with Ashton with his brother sleeping a foot
away, to having sex in her parent’s home on a trip to Vancouver, and to an alleged sexual encounter at Kal Lake Provincial Park, where the accuser said there were campers around. “I’m suggesting to you, sir, that there is no camping at Kal Park,� said Harris. “I don’t remember,� said the accuser. “You can’t recall it because it didn’t happen. I’m probably correct, aren’t I?� asked the lawyer. “No,� replied the accuser. Harris refuted the accuser’s claim that the pair had been caught in a kiss in his home by Ashton’s daughter, who, according to the accuser, “said nothing.� “I am suggesting that no such kiss took place because the daughter, a strong-willed, out-going person who you knew from her having been in your house, having played basketball with her, would have become unglued if she saw that,� said Harris. “I don’t remember,� said the accuser. Harris showed the accuser several pages of written testimonials from a yearbook at the school, pages from students who called Ashton “the best and coolest teacher ever,� and “the best teacher in the world.� “I believe all of the students thought that about her,� said the accuser. “They thought she was the best teacher in the world.� Ashton is facing three counts of sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under 14 and invitation to sexual touching under 14. She pleaded not guilty at the start of trial to all counts. Judge S. James Shabbits of Nanaimo stated to the eight-woman, four-man jury on Wednesday that the trial would not wrap up Friday, as had been anticipated by Crown counsel Neil Flanagan of Kamloops. Due to scheduling conflicts Monday, Ashton’s trial will resume Tuesday morning in Vernon Supreme Court.

Charges pending after stabbing One man is facing charges in relation to a stabbing incident at a home outside of Enderby Jan. 31. Vernon RCMP were called to a report of a stabbing at a home on Canyon Road shortly after midnight on Feb. 1.
A man had been stabbed in the shoulder area and was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police were given a description of a potential suspect and found a man matching the description walking with another man along Old Vernon Road, not
too far from the house in question. Alcohol and drugs appear to be a factor in the incident, said police. Johnny Beattie Jones William, 39, was charged with aggravated assault and unlawful confinement. He was remanded in custody pending a
scheduled appearance Thursday in Vernon Provincial Court.

Jan. 31 and Feb. 6. “Both were reported in the late afternoon to early evening,” said Gord Molendyk, police spokesperson. “In both cases, the male driver spoke to the children and asked them to come to the vehicle.” Instead of approaching the vehicle, the youth left the area and reported the incident to their parents.

Ten properties on Lakeshore Road could be developed by the North Okanagan Regional District as public access to Okanagan Lake.
Plan to open up lake access RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Expanded lake access could be moving ahead in Greater Vernon later this year. The North Okanagan Regional District is considering improvements to 10 Lakeshore Road properties so people can enjoy Okanagan Lake. “It will make quite a difference,” said Al McNiven, parks and recreation general manager, of increased access. “It would provide a greenway along the water.” NORD has owned many of the sites for years, but action is just being taken now to upgrade them. “We have enough properties adjacent to each other that it makes sense to begin enhance-
ments,” said McNiven. All of the properties have 50-foot frontages along the lake. The proposed work includes the removing of dangerous trees, rough grading, installation of a wood rail fence, signage, log benches, planting willow trees and seeding for lawn. “Park development will also be consistent
with crime prevention through environmental design principles as well as adhere to guidelines set forth by the Ministry of Environment for the development of properties adjacent sensitive environmental areas,” said Keith Pinkoski, parks planner, in a memo.

Opposition forces snub prison tour RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Opponents to a proposed prison in Lumby are under scrutiny after a tour of a correctional facility drew a poor crowd. On Wednesday, four politicians and four residents toured the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, less than the eight to 12 that had been expected. “The whole point was to educate people about the facility,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Acton says he was disappointed that members of Lumby Concerned Citizens, which opposes a jail, did not go on the tour. “It tells me people don’t want change,” he said. “If they go there (KRCC), they will know there are no security issues. It doesn’t matter what I say or do, or the government says or does, some people don’t want it.” Lumby Concerned Citizens defends not going on the trip. “We didn’t think we could learn much from going to KRCC,”

Lumby residents visited Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre Wednesday. said spokesperson Paul Fisher. “There are so many concerns I’m not sure they can be alleviated. What is the nature of the people in there, how many will there be, what’s the impact on water and sewer? What will happen with the garbage?” Among the residents that toured KRCC was Tory Tung, Lumby Bottle Bin owner. “All of the questions I had were answered about security,” he said. “I asked about how may had escaped and in 22 years, there’s never been anyone.”
potential Lumby prison could include people responsible for everything from robbery to murder. “With some of them, every time they move, they have shackles on. Some are in solitary confinement until they go to court,” said Acton. A stop was also made
As for inmates completing their sentences, Tung doesn’t believe they will hang around Lumby. “They escort them out and send them to where ever they came from,” he said. As a remand centre for inmates awaiting court appearances, a

The tour reinforced Acton’s view that a prison could create jobs for Lumby residents. “There are lots of young people working there in every position you can imagine. There’s contractors for cable TV,” he said.
Tung insists there is a need to expand the economy and bring new opportunities to town. “In the last six years, my taxes have gone up significantly and I can’t afford much more,” he said. “If we don’t get a broader tax base, we can’t support the services we have.” Lumby residents will go to the polls April 30 to determine if they want to pursue a correctional facility.

A trial date has finally been set for five alleged members of a Vernon gang. Jury selection for a trial involving the five men, allegedly members of a gang referred to by RCMP as The Greeks, will run April 6 to 8 in Vancouver. The trial, to be held in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver, is slated to start April 26. It is anticipated that the trial could last up to a year. The five men – Pete Manalakos, Jr., Dale Sipes, Sheldon O’Donnell, Leslie Podolski and Douglas Brownell – are facing murder- and drug-related charges in connection with a string of homicides in the North Okanagan in 2004 and 2005.

A close shave
M
ost men do it, and most men loathe it. I’m not exactly sure why that is the case with shaving, but you hear guys grumble about it all the time. Part of me wants to believe it’s a machismo thing. If they bemoan shaving, it indirectly implies they are able to grow a healthy beard, moustache, pork chop sideburns or goatee (style options are limitless, not all are recommended) without having to brag about it. Then again, that is probably just me being jealous. I’m lucky if I have to break out the razor more than twice a week. It took the entire month of Movember for me to produce something that Graeme Corbett resembled anything close to a moustache. Our toque-wearing photographer, Cory Bialecki, had handlebars within a week. I do get the practical side of the matter – shaving can be a hassle, especially if you are someone who has to drag a razor across your face daily. Every time you shave, you run the risk of nicks, cuts and razor burn. If you’re like me, you get a stern talking to any time you leave whiskers in the sink. Let’s not forget about the cost of shaving. Replacement cartridges in those supposed smooth-gliding, five-bladed power razors can be as much as $5 per, and you’re lucky to get a month’s use out of one. Even less if your facial hair grows like a Brillo Pad. High-end electric razors can be in excess of $200, and while I have never used one, they seem a little excessive. Disposable razors are cheap, but they also feel cheap and don’t last. And they create more waste than most other options. If you can relate to any of this, I have a cost-
AT RANDOM
effective suggestion for you – go old school. I lost my trusted Mach 3 razor, the one I started shaving with as a teen, last summer. After months of literally scraping by with disposables, I began looking for an alternative to those expensive, gimmicky cartridge systems. I mean, how many blades are ever going to be enough? A friend suggested I try going REALLY old school with a straight razor, which I balked at immediately. Too many visions of guys getting whacked in barber chairs in gangster movies. I eventually settled on a German-made double-edged safety razor setup, complete with shaving brush, stand and apothecary mug for the soap. The initial cost is expensive (about $130 for the entire setup), but I can order blades for less than 50 cents each, so I will make up the cost over time. The metal handle has some heft to it, so it feels good to hold, and the blades are easy to replace. Now all I gotta do is figure out how to use the thing without massacring my face. Let’s just say there is a “sharp” learning curve with a safety razor. I have already managed to cut the collateral damage to a nick or two on any given attempt. I think best of all, this switch has changed my mind-set about a fairly mundane task. I tend to look at shaving as a skill rather than an ongoing chore. It has also instilled in me a sense of style and nostalgia. I remember watching my dad shave as a kid. He had an Old Spice shaving mug that I dutifully bought him replacement soap for every Father’s Day (I’m sure he needed a few refills in between). He would even let me lather up once in a while and, taking out the blade, practise a mock shave. That memory alone is worth a few drops of blood.
A year ago at this time, Okanagan orchardists were bleeding red ink because the cost of production outstripped the price of apples. Government was urged to help, but nothing of substance ever materialized. Now, the situation is even more critical as the cost of growing apples is almost double what farmers pocket (22 cents compared to 12.6 cents a pound). With little capital readily at hand, it may be difficult for some growers to prepare this year’s crop. Some may just pull out their trees and walk away. And that would be devastating for the Okanagan, particularly because of the $200 million the tree fruit sector pumps into the economy. Farmers purchase equipment, supplies and trucks, but they also shop in local stores, eat in restaurants, donate to charities and pay taxes. Also consider what the Okanagan would look like without those lush, green orchards. It would be easy to write orchardists’ demands off as a bail-out or subsidy but that is too simplistic of a view. Given that the Agricultural Land Reserve restricts activities on private property — it cannot be used for non-farm uses — the government is obligated to fulfill the commitment it made in 1974 to provide support programs for farmers. Unfortunately, decades of indifference have undermined those programs. Bureaucracy also allows foreign fruit to be dumped in Canada, creating a lopsided playing field. At a time when food security is increasingly important for many people, locally grown fruit should be a priority, But if action doesn’t occur soon, there may be nothing left to save.

Politicians doing their job
I
would like to voice my opinion regarding the proposed remand centre in Lumby. I have heard and read many comments about the remand centre, both positive and negative. All these comments are pure conjecture. No one knows for sure one way or another of what the implications of a remand centre will be. My councillor, Janet Green, contacted my wife and I on two separate occasions to get our opinion on the proposed remand centre. As far as I am concerned, she has contacted her constituents and is acting on their behalf (as is the democratic way of doing things). I have heard grumblings from many people who live in the surrounding areas that they should
have a say in this decision. The citizens of Lumby, who pay the taxes directly to Lumby, are responsible for any capital costs incurred by this decision and therefore, it’s up to the people of Lumby to decide. I come from the Drumheller Valley in Alberta which has a medium-security prison. We had all the
FORGET ABOUT IT Lumby Mayor Kevin Acton has stated publicly that Lumby welcomes a prison because it would be a boon to that village, where jobs are scarce since the closure of the mills there. In his one statement Mayor Acton has attempted to promote two falsehoods. The first is that the village is fairly unanimous in "welcoming" a jail. Many residents are completely opposed to a jail and some recent numbers show these may in fact be a majority in the neighbourhood of 60 per cent. Secondly, Lumby is doing very well and has not been dependent on the forest industry for over a decade. Lumby has a diversified economy that includes small business and tourism. Its demographics show a steady rise in families with children, as well as retired or independently wealthy adults. Lumby's building boom shows homes of larger than average size, and jobs are being created at a faster rate than many throughout the province. Between 2001 and 2006 the total labour force grew by 26.2 per cent compared to 8.1 per cent in the rest of the province. In that same period the value of an average home in Lumby increased 101 per cent compared to 81.5 cent for the province. Instead of giving the impression that Lumby is a depressed town whose only hope is to become a jail town, Mayor Acton should listen to some of the excellent and realistic ideas given by residents during the last economic meeting, which he himself called. Lumby is one of the best small communities in B.C. and one wonders why anyone, let alone an elected council, would want to ruin it by turning it

same arguments then as I hear today. The prison there was built, and as a result (for example) the little hamlet of Nacmine (three miles west of Drumheller) received water, sewer and gas service which resulted in a building boom in Nacmine, as well as the rest of the valley. The museum was built 18 years later. Drumheller
into an essentially one-industry prison town. Russ Collins JUNCTION FUNCTIONS We are writing to publicly acknowledge the many community supporters who, over the past year, helped us keep the doors to Teen Junction open. We often felt overwhelmed by the enthusiasm that emerged during the more challenging times. Businesses, service clubs and individuals hosted unique fundraisers, donated their time and their money to help us maintain the important services we provide to youth in the region. The list of supporters would fill this page. However, we’d like to acknowledge some notable contributors. The City of Vernon provided grants last year that bridged a six-month gap in gaming fund allocations. They kept us open and the mayor and council members have continued to encourage our drive for stable funding. The Vernon RCMP dedicated the proceeds of their golf tournament to our transition program which is now underway. Silver Star Rotary Club, who year after year provides funds for our food program, also volunteered their time to paint the centre – inside and out! Brian Martin and SunFM generously publicize our events and provide amazing experiences for our youth. The Morning Star writers and photographers have raised the community’s awareness of Teen Junction with regular stories and editorials about our kids, their lives and their need for a welcoming place. Recently, the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee voted unanimously to include Teen Junction in their 2011 budget. We are grateful to the representatives
is not known as a prison town but as a tourist attraction. There have been some escape attempts but the individuals did not stick around in the valley, instead they headed for Calgary or Edmonton, where they were eventually picked up. However, remember these escapes were from a longerterm incarceration facility. No one can deny that Lumby is in a downturn (due to the shutting down of the glass factory and many sawmills) and any positive growth would be a blessing. Lumby is such a beautiful little town which has the potential to be great. We must let our elected officials (who were elected to represent us) do their jobs to the best of their ability.

from Vernon, Coldstream, Areas B and C who were able to set aside their differences and find a way to stabilize our services. Their belief in the resilience and potential of the youth in this region will pay off in spades! We appreciate every volunteer hour, every donation and every word of encouragement and advice. For the board of directors, youth and staff at Teen Junction, it certainly is a Happy New Year! Debbie Schiller, Executive Director Michelle Freebairn, Youth Programs Coordinator THANK YOU As a social worker in our community I have the opportunity to meet with people at some of the toughest and challenging moments in their lives. Recently I connected with a family with a new infant who required weekly medical care for six to 12 weeks that is only offered at BC Children's Hospital. This treatment plan posed some challenges for them to arrive in Vancouver safely each week given the state of their vehicle along with the changing winter weather conditions. In search of ways to support this family, I approached Vernon Toyota, to explore the option of some support for this family and to help address the concerns for the safety of the vehicle. Without hesitation, Vernon Toyota jumped in and provided what was needed to allow this family to have a safe vehicle for these necessary trips. I would like to take this opportunity to send out a big thank you for their support to this family and one of our newest little community members. Niki Knight

Mindnich says council didn’t take the increases lightly and she realizes higher utility costs may negatively impact some residents. “We sat there for six months paring things down while adding replacement reserves for equipment,” she said. Also on Monday, council adopted a bylaw that sets the fees for the collection and disposal of garbage. Under the bylaw, each household will pay $11 in 2011 for garbage pickup and $1.50 per refuse container over the container limit. Each residence will also pay $1.75 a month for the collection of recyclables.

Tickets break up parties, drug use RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby staff were busy handing out tickets in parks last summer. The 2010 bylaw enforcement report indicates that complaints in parks and public places went from two in 2009 to 28 last year. “I dealt with some parties, general noise complaints, youth drinking, drugs and vandalism,” said Lee Elliott, bylaw enforcement officer, in a written report. “I partnered with the RCMP officer on shift most nights and the issues of teen drinking in the parks, Salmon Trail and downtown had almost disappeared by later summer.” On nights where there weren’t patrols, some vandalism occurred along the Salmon Trail. Mayor Kevin Acton isn’t concerned about the extent of illegal activities on public property. “We’re addressing it by educating the schools and students, and the Safe Communities Unit is doing a great job and being proactive,” he said. “We have also had lots of meetings with police.” Acton believes that some of the problems may be related to a lack of organized activities for local youth. “A lot of the incidents are related to kids doing shenanigans,” he said. Besides drugs and alcohol, a ticket was issued for public urination. Staff has also been monitoring alleged drug houses in the community. “We have been told by our lawyers that the controlled substance house on Maple Street has
been ordered to be demolished in the spring,” said Elliott. There is also a second controlled substance house on Grandview Avenue, which is posted under village bylaws and vacant. “The owners have done some work but failed their initial check by the environmental engineer and are currently working on his recommendations,” said Elliott.

New fire chief answers call of duty in Enderby RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A new generation of leadership is underway at the Enderby Fire Department. Kevin Alstad is taking over as chief from Gerard Doorn while Travis Horsman replaces Dan Doran as deputy chief. “I’m excited about it,” said Alstad of his new duties. “It’s a really great hall and a great bunch of guys.” Alstad, who works
“I have some pretty big shoes to fill.” — Kevin Alstad at Central Hardware, has been with the volunteer department for 12 years. He has most recently been a captain and training officer. He says that one of his goals as chief will be to move ahead with the new operational guidelines for training.
Doorn has been chief for 15 years, and Alstad has nothing but praise for his dedication to the department and the community. “I have some pretty big shoes to fill,” said Alstad. “Gerard has taken the hall from a path
where it was not really going anywhere to where it is today.” Doorn has been a volunteer firefighter since the mid-1980s and he will continue to be part of the department despite stepping down as chief. “I still like firefighting,” he said, adding that he has complete confidence in Alstad and Horsman. “I need a little more personal time for my business and it’s time for some new guys
with new ideas.” Horsman has been with the department for six-and-a-half years, most recently as a captain. “I was kind of shocked when I was asked to be the deputy. I was not sure if I had enough experience,” he said. “Dan has held that position really well.

An Enderby politician has upped the ante when it comes to raising funds for a group that supports children. Coun. Earl Shipmaker has announced he will match personal donations made by the rest of council and city staff to the Enderby Community Resource Centre. “They were going to have to cut their summer program because of government funding cuts so I’m challenging councillors to participate,” Earl Shipmaker said Shipmaker. Shipmaker is concerned that without activities in July and August, children at risk won’t have access to the support systems and structure they have in place when they are in school the rest of the year. “It’s important to have programs in the summer,” he said. Mayor Dee Wejr supports Shipmaker’s efforts. “As a council we can’t really spend taxpayers’ dollars, but we want to help,” she said. “There’s a recognition among council that a lot of families are not doing well because of the economy. People have lost jobs and are struggling. It’s not like we (council) are rich but we want to do
something.” A recent survey that looks at physical health, social competence, emotional maturity, language and communication indicates that the percentage of Enderby children vulnerable to one or more of these developmental issues has gone from 26.8 in 2009 to 40 in 2010. While his challenge is only limited to council, Shipmaker is urging residents of the Enderby area to support the resource centre and local children. “I believe residents will really get behind it,” he said.

Lawyers turn hat trick in broomball tourney After three days of broomball in downtown Vernon, the Allan Francis Pringle Chaos walked away with the championship trophy for the third year in a row. They were joined by the City Stew (City of Vernon office staff), Tolko and Davidson Lawyers in the semi-finals. “AFP Chaos battled Davidson Lawyers in their semi-final game, scoring one goal and winning 1-0 to seal their spot in the championship game,” said Holly Schmidt, with the Downtown Vernon Association. “The city office staff team was
able to outscore Tolko 1-0 in their semi-final game. “ After the official ball drop by a Winter Carnival jopo, the championship game got underway. Both the AFP Chaos and City Stew were there to win and the game stayed scoreless until the end of the first period when City Stew was able to score on the AFP Chaos goalie. “Shortly after the second period got underway, AFP Chaos came back with a goal to tie the game up,” said Schmidt. “With a 1-1 score at the end of the second period, the game went into sudden death overtime. AFP
Chaos was able to score within the first two minutes of overtime and won the championship game.” Fourteen teams participated in the Vernon Winter Carnival event sponsored by RBC and the DVA. They include Davidson Lawyers, KPMG, Meridian Rehabilitation Centre, Summit Environmental Consultants, The Morning Star, the Okanagan Science Centre, Allan Francis Pringle, City of Vernon office staff, Nixon Wenger, Century 21, Tolko, City of Vernon yards staff, BMO Bank of Montreal and Kindale Mainstreet Connection.

Lessons drive bus safety

Morning Star Staff
Not all lessons occur in the classroom. Bus drivers Gary Owens and Dawn Burke present a bus safety program to kindergarten, Grade 4 and Grade 8 students in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District. Much of the focus is on loading and unloading, as well as crossing safety, but they also discuss behaviour on the bus. “We tell them it’s very important for them to manage their own behaviour, for the safety of everyone,” said Burke. They also talk to students about bullying on the bus and how the driver is there to help. “We tell them we have up to four cameras on a bus and audio,” said Owens. “We don’t catch everything but if we can, we want to help.” The kindergarten presentation is 90 minutes long, while the Grade 4 presentation lasts 45 minutes and the Grade 8 program is about an hour

AT THE WHEEL
Morning Star Staff
Falkland is getting ready to celebrate a Canadian icon. On Tuesday, businesses in the community will be handing out Canadian flag pins and decals to celebrate the flag’s birthday. “The flag was first raised at the Parliament
buildings in 1965 after several decades to reach an agreement for a design for a distinct Canadian flag,” said Fran Nikon, with I Care, which promotes patriotism. “That’s what we have — a flag that is a symbol of our country and our heritage. Fly it with pride.”

Sports Mustangs ambush Anchorage EDITOR: Kevin Mitchell s s SPORTS VERNONMORNINGSTAR COM
KEVIN MITCHELL Morning Star Staff
There was no Mystery, Alaska II for the Anchorage North Stars as they faced the Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs Thursday morning at Civic Arena. In fact, the Mustangs may have actually played better than the New York Rangers did in the 1990 movie about a small town in Alaska whose amateur team gets to play the NHLers on national TV. It was 1-1 after 20 minutes before the Mustangs pumped up their offence and ambushed the North Stars 8-1 to open the 40th annual Vernon Coca-Cola Pee Wee Invitational Hockey Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were pretty good,â&#x20AC;? said Anchorage captain Blake Halfpenny, 12, whose favourite NHLer is Alaskan Matt Carle of the Philadelphia Flyers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They scored some nice goals. We can play with them for most of the game and then we fall apart, just like at home when we play Bantam teams. I think we can play better though.â&#x20AC;? Mustang captain Jagger Williamson, who has hands softer than Acme pillows, scored four times to jumpstart the Mustangs. He cut from the corner and went roof daddy on a sweet backhander with 35 seconds left in the second period, giving Vernon a 5-1 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was going to miss the net,â&#x20AC;? smiled Williamson, who said the Mustang dressing room was jumping before game time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big tournament for everyone of these guys. We played as a team and probably had the best forecheck weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had all season. We also had lots of good passing.â&#x20AC;? Kaden Black bagged a pair for the Mustangs, while Connor Marritt earned 1+2 and Carson Gray also scored in support of Billy Cawthorn. Connor Johnston pocketed three assists. Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start well for towering Watkin Motors defenceman Noah Turanski, who had a nick in one of his skates. He missed a few shifts in the first period while assistant coach Joe Gourdine repaired the blade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We passed the puck well,â&#x20AC;? said Turanski, who turned 13 on Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really a physical game so we were able to move the puck around.â&#x20AC;? Forward Brett Lambert, the only Mustang who played on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-place team in this tournament, liked all facets of the Vernon game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were passing, shooting and going to the net, hitting and working hard, all things we talked about doing before the game,â&#x20AC;? said Lambert, 13. Sean Richards supplied 3+2 as the powerhouse St. Albert Sabres brushed back the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies 11-2 in other

Anchorage North Stars' netminder Ronan Klancher attempts to snag a high puck as Watkin Motors Mustangs' Connor Johnston waits on the doorstep in the 40th Annual Coca-Cola Classic Pee Wee Invitational Hockey Tournament Thursday at the Civic Arena. Thursday morning play. There was loads of energy in the stands as intermediate classes from Silver Star and Alexis Park Elementary Schools brought signs and filled sections of the rink cheering for both teams. Craig Lacroix and Josh Mahura each scored twice for the Sabres, who got singles from Jacob Waldbillig, Connor Deighton, Ethan Marino and Scott MacDonald. Ryan Cox had five helpers. Drew Coughlin and Riley Condon replied for the Grizzlies.
Captain Parker Aucoin counted 5+2 as the Simons Valley Rebels of Calgary upended the Campbell River Tyees 12-5 Thursday afternoon. Joshua Berze and Brayden Dunn chipped in with two goals each for the Rebels. Darian Swift collected a deuce for the Tyees, who got singles from Sage Lim, Andy Stevens and Cory Bukauskas. The Mustangs faced the Grizzlies in Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feature game. Vernon meets St. Albert today at 3 p.m. The semifinals go Saturday at 12:30 and 2:45 p.m.
Cotter unbeaten in provincial marathon KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Hometown favourite Jim Cotter was 7-0 but he definitely wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taking the tourist route going into draw eight Thursday night in the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championships in Vernon. Former provincial winner Sean Geall of Langley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with shot rock â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tried a single-raise takeout for a deuce but his attempt over curled and left Cotter with a steal of one for a 6-4 victory. Cotter has won four one-point games.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like the whole week weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to grind out every win which I think is good for us,â&#x20AC;? said Cotterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead Rick Sawatsky, a 1994 VSS grad who played junior curling in Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing well, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still room for improvement and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to escalate our game going into the weekend hopefully.â&#x20AC;? Second Kevin Folk is a regular with Cotter and part-time super sub Ken Maskiewich is back for the provincials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pretty laid-back bunch of guys and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty easy to fit in with us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real lucky to have a guy like
Ken, just a phenomenal player and a really great guy to come in (from New Westminster) and help us out here.â&#x20AC;? Cotter, 36, faced defending champion Jeff Richard of Kelowna Thursday night. Richard was 6-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no easy ones with this field, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Cotter, moments after beating Geall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to grind it out and we pulled it through. It (Geallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final stone) was no gimme shot thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure. It just came out a little tight and we happened to score a point there.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from A21 Cotter bounced Brent Pierce of New West 8-3 and iced clubmate Darren Heath 8-7 in an extra end on Wednesday. Cotter opened the 10-team field Tuesday by clipping Sean Yamada of New West 4-3 and brushing back Richard 5-4. Cotter faced Tom Buchy of Kimberley, a former Vernon junior, Thursday night, and finishes preliminary action this morning against clubmate Aron Herrick.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we could play but to win four games straight at the regionals was a real surprise,â&#x20AC;? said Herrick, whose has Marc Fillion and Jason Wizniak running his front end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practised, when you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in the trenches in a spiel all year, you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if you can endure it, but we played really well in Kamloops and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing OK here as well.â&#x20AC;? Chasing Herrick for
the final playoff nugget Thursday were Heath, Yamada, Pierce and Buchy of Kimberley, all at 3-4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in the hunt,â&#x20AC;? said Herrick, who has lived in Vernon since 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do control our own destiny because we play two of the top teams in our next two games, Jeff (Thursday night) and Jim tomorrow morning. If we can win one of those of two for sure, maybe it will get us into a tiebreaker,
but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to win both and make sure we get in there.â&#x20AC;? Geall fell to 1-6 alongside Jason Clarke of Victoria, who bowed 10-7 to Pierce in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noon draw. In other Thursday noon games, Heath doubled Buchy 6-3 and Yamada roughed up Herrick 8-2. In the Wednesday night draw, Dangerfield upended Herrick 9-5, Yamada outlasted Pierce 8-5, Buchy stopped Clarke 11-7
and Richard stoned Geall 8-2. Vernon ice maker Wayne Lafaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Darin is playing lead with Geall. In Wednesday noon play, Buchy clipped Yamada 7-5, Herrick shaded Geall 7-6, Richard edged Heath 6-5 and Dangerfield knocked off Clarke 10-6. Herrick beat Clarke 6-5 and lost 9-8 to Buchy, while Heath iced Dangerfield 11-4 and fell 5-4 to Pierce in Tuesday action.
Speed to burn at Wesbild Morning Star Staff
Close to 80 entries are confirmed for the annual Vernon Speed Skating Club open meet Saturday at Wesbild Centre. Club president Pete Kapak says there are a dozen skaters ranked in the top-70 provincially, including Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Connie Kapak, who is No. 1 in the 11-year-old girls class. Vernon will be represented by 10 skaters with the competition going from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. There is no admission. This is the sixth year the meet will be held at Wesbild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vernon is known for its good ice and lots of records have been set at Wesbild,â&#x20AC;? said Kapak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be a chance for skaters to qualify (meet a standard time) for the other top events left this season.â&#x20AC;?
The Vernon club has a record 35 skaters, including 17 minor hockey players using the speed skate workouts to improve their skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About a third of the hockey players have converted to speed skates which is good because most of the technical skills are designed for speed skates,â&#x20AC;? said Kapak. Connie Kapak, who turned 12 on Wednesday, qualified for last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nationals in Winnipeg but did not attend. She had missed several days of school for the provincials in Fort St. John. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her time would have placed her fifth in Canada, comparing the (long track) Winnipeg results,â&#x20AC;? said Pete. The short track provincials go March 5-7 in Port Coquitlam, followed by the Western Canadian Championships, March 26-27, in Kelowna.

MacDonald strikes Thunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fancy Morning Star Staff
From second rounder to second overall, Brodie MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock continues to rise in the world of lacrosse. The 6-foot-7, 245-pound netminder was selected second overall by the Langley Thunder at Western Lacrosse Association draft Tuesday night. Last fall, the Vernon product was chosen 19th overall by the Philadelphia Wings at the National Lacrosse League draft. MacDonald has yet to see action with the Wings, who are 3-3 so far this season.
A graduate of the Vernon Tigers junior B program, MacDonald, now 21, went on to play junior A with the Burnaby Lakers. He joined the Coquitlam Adanacs on their way to a Minto Cup national championship last season. The Burnaby Lakers took Adanacs grad Matt Beers first overall. They also picked up MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goaltending partner Dan Lewis with the first pick of the third round. The Thunder chose another Tiger grad, the rugged Braidy Webb, in the 10th round (61st overall).

SilverBacks stuff Viper comeback Morning Star Staff
It was a post-mortem that would make a coroner queasy. Vernon Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner sat in his office Thursday morning dissecting the previous night’s B.C. Hockey League contest between the Snakes and host Salmon Arm SilverBacks at the Sunwave Centre. He wasn’t even halfway through the video and he had already counted 25 Viper turnovers. Despite a three-goal, third-period rally, the Vipers fell 5-4, ending their regularseason series with the ‘Backs at a disappointing 1-6-0-1. Vernon (33-11-4-8) holds a six-point lead over the second-place Gorillas (35-172-0) in the Interior Conference race for a first-round playoff bye. “They have two games in hand, but it’s still in our hands. We have to make sure we’re heading in the right direction heading into playoffs,” said Ferner. The Vipers entertain the Merritt Centennials tonight at Wesbild Centre. The two clubs have ventured into overtime in three of their four previous meetings. Vernon hammered the 20-28-1-6 Cents 6-0 in their most recent encounter last month. The SilverBacks got off to a solid start Wednesday, taking a 2-0 lead into the first intermission on goals by Brett Knowles (27th goal) and Brad Reid (21st). The Vipers replied 35 seconds into the second frame after Salmon Arm netminder Kris Moore mishandled the puck, leaving hard-working Kyle Murphy (15th) with an open net. The Fair Haven, N.J. product
chipped in with a pair of assists. A trio of SilverBack goals by Devin Gannon (20th), Prince Albert Mintos grad Bryce Gervais (28th) and first star Reid (22nd) had the hosts up by four after 40 minutes. “They have too many older, experienced, talented players. You can’t turn the puck over,” said Ferner, who pulled netminder Kirby Halcrow (21 saves on 26 shots) after the second period. Blake Voth recorded five stops in relief. “The frustrating thing for me is we talk about these things. We understand there’s going to be mistakes, but when they’re not doing the things we ask them to do, that’s when I have concern.” Jayson Reardon, a Lumby native, set up Reid’s second goal with a cross-ice feed on a late second-period powerplay. “Both powerplays and PKs were pretty equal on the night. We just buried our chances more than they did theirs,” said Reardon. The 20-year-old blueliner believes the additions of Reid, acquired in December from Coquitlam, and BCHL scoring leader Mike Hammond (85 points), picked up at the trade deadline from Cowichan Valley, have helped Salmon Arm’s rise up the Interior standings in the second half. “Those two click together pretty good. It definitely gives us a solid top six,” said Reardon, who likes the way his team is looking heading down the stretch. Both Vernon and Salmon Arm are 8-2 in their last 10 games (both Viper losses were against the SilverBacks).

The Gorillas weathered a third-period rally by Vernon to earn a 5-4 win. “It’s a big boost. Beating Vernon like that heading into playoffs is a big momentum builder for us,” added Reardon. The Snakes tried to make a game of it with three straight goals in the third period, starting with a Dylan Walchuk (22nd) powerplay strike midway through the frame. Defenceman Malcolm Lyles (eighth), following up on a Vernon rush, ripped a shot past Moore (25 saves) from the top of the circle at 12:42. Max Mowat (second) completed the offence at 16:33. “We let up a little bit. They started putting pressure on and we backed off,” said Reardon.

Lussier leads Bruins to gold Morning Star Staff
Andre Lussier scored four times as the Aldergrove Bruins bounced the Denny’s Saints 8-6 in Sunday’s A final of the Vernon Think Red Bantam Rec Hockey Tournament at Civic Arena. The local Saints led 1-0 after one period with Chris Gallant connecting from Marcus Finn. It was 5-4 after two with Lussier getting the first four Bruin goals. Josh Lerbeck, Kristian Currie and Mitchell Cousins scored for the Saints. Nik Wasylyk and Lucas Colgan netted third-period goals for Denny’s, who are 26-4 on the year. Aldergrove goalie Cole Andrews made a handful of spectacular saves, including a glove stop on a wicked slapshot by game MVP and Saints’ captain Layne Greene from the point. Gallant, who took a spear to the groin early in the game, pocketed a pair of assists. Aldergrove spotted the Abbotsford Ice Hawks a 2-0 lead before rallying for a 5-2 semifinal win earlier Sunday. Denny’s, who topped the round-robin portion of the 10-team tourney at 3-0, got two goals apiece from Currie, Finn, Colgan and Greene in a 12-3 stuffing of the Vernon Authentic Trophy & Plaques Hitmen in the other semifinal. Wasylyk, Lerbeck and Cousins added singles for the Saints, who got three assists from Max Mitchell. Hannah Scherck, Brenden Zupp and Dustin Schmor replied for the Hitmen. In preliminary play, the Saints stormed the Westside Wild 11-2, crushed the North Okanagan Knights 17-2 and clipped Abbotsford 4-3. The ScotiaBank Scorpions outlasted
the DCT Chambers Red Bulls 8-7 in the all-Vernon C final at Priest Valley Arena. Ben Aspenlieder and Rowyn LewisHathlerley each scored twice for the Scorpions, who got 1+2 apiece from Solomon Ivanoff and Aaron Keryluke and other goals from Jeremy Pogue and Landon Munk. Megan Johnston had two helpers. Munk took a feed from Erin Banning and went coast to coast for the winner with 30 seconds remaining. Scorpion goalie Trey Spanier earned game MVP with 47 saves. Danielle Butler pulled the hat trick for the Bulls, while Parker Gray and Tim Ufimtseff each earned 1+2 and other goals went to Connor Smidt and Ben James. Russell Day had three assists. The Corbett Office Plus Sharks took ninth spot with a 9-4 shelling of the North Okanagan Knights at Civic. Austin Bosquet and Brandon Tarasenko each scored three times for the Sharks, while Anthony Peterson, Isiah Wenger and Brandon DeJong supplied singles. Cody Donahue, with a pair, Ryan Harder and Mitchell Hentges answered for the Knights. The Vernon Battery Seagulls doubled North Okanagan 10-5 and ambushed Winfield 12-3 in North Okanagan Midget Super League action. Clifford High and Sean Connors each pulled hat tricks against the Knights, while Dustin Folliott scored twice and singles went to Brett Vandale, Natalie Johnston in support of Luke Vandale. In Winfield, High fired four goals, while Ward Mercer and Folliott each netted a pair and singles came from Dixon Louis, Bradley David and Josh Readshaw.
“In both games we talked about trying to play like the Vancouver Canucks,” said Gulls’ head coach Dan Wilson. “We back-checked hard, which led to some nice passing transition goals. We also fed the open point man, with traffic in front of the net, which led to some bullet shots finding their way to the back of the net.” The Lumby Stars, sponsored by Irly Bird Building Centers and Gudeit Bros. Contracting, stopped the Chase Mustangs 5-0 and iced the Winfield Bruins 5-3 in Bantam Super League play. In Chase, Zach Kuperus (2), Connor Fair (1+2), Keenan MacDonald, and Kyle Beerstra handled the scoring for the Stars, while Ashley Tinney earned two assists. On Sunday at Pat Duke Memorial Arena, the Stars got two goals from Connor Fair, 1+2 from MacDonald and singles from Tinney and Reid Hackett. Kuperus had two helpers and Corey Tinney was excellent in net. The Lumby Atom Stars, sponsored by NOR Renovations, stopped the host North Okanagan Knights 8-3 and doubled Chase 10-5. Cameron Pryor made some key saves against the Knights, while Josh Litven led the offence with a hat trick. Ryan Desilets added a pair, and Drew Mackenzie, Vanessa Yaremcio, and Tage Kineshanko added singles. Litven was in net Sunday in Lumby and made several unbelievable saves, while Vanessa Yaremcio had 3+1 and Ryan Desilets and Drew Mackenzie each scored a pair. Kendra Jones, Cameron Pryor, getting his first goal (a beauty) on a feed from Payton Kineshanko, and Kineshanko, added singles.

Lumby locks up B glory Morning Star Staff
The Lumby Stars stopped Ashcroft 6-2 in the B final Sunday at the Logan Lake Pee Wee Rec Hockey Tournament. A group of just 10 players coached by Tony Correale, the Cinderalla Stars got 2+1 from Adam Sacht and two goals from Graham Moss. Tyler Yule and Jack O’Neill contributed singles and goalie Chris Nielsen was stellar in half a game of action. Keith Jones and game MVP Jarrett Miller each pocketed a pair of helpers. Lumby, whose only previous win came back in November at their home tourney, opened by icing Logan Lake 6-3. Landon Correale was strong in net and the trio of blueliners – Shale Miller, Jones and O’Neill – were stellar. Sacht provided 3+1, while Miller scored twice and Moss once. Nielsen bagged three assists, while Miller earned two. MVP went to Alyvia Fair. The Stars then brushed off Ashcroft 10-0 as Correale recorded his first-ever shutout. Yule and O’Neill each registered 3+1, while Miller added 2+1, game MVP Sacht counted 1+4 and Nielsen rung up 1+2. Lumby then bowed 5-4 to Quesnel in firstround playoff action which saw the Stars erase a 4-2 deficit. Correale was red-hot again in goal, the defence was solid and the offence was handled by Sacht, with 2+1, Miller, with 1+2, and Nielsen. The Five Star Award Bulldogs bowed 7-2 to Elk Valley in the consolation final of the Castlegar Pee Wee Rec Tournament. Brennan Seltzer and Tanner Graham scored for the Dawgs, whose game MVP was Ryan Jakes for his strong defensive play and one assist. The Five Star crew lost 2-1 in overtime to Rossland/Trail in the semifinals, giving up the winner with 42 seconds left in the extra period. Kobe Romanovitch scored for Vernon Rhys Larsen earning MVP for solid play in net. The Dawgs opened by bouncing Beaver Valley 12-1 with Romanovitch pocketing 5+2 and MVP Seltzer bagging 3+3.

Vernon then bowed 6-1 to Nakusp with Seltzer connecting from Chastko and Pickard. MVP went to Aarts for his ever-improving play. The Sladen Moore Lakers Pee Wee girls split a pair of games with the Winfield Bruins, losing 5-1 before winning 5-1. Matt Greavette scored twice in the Bruins’ victory with goaltender Zach McLachlan superb. Tylee Cooper scored from Samantha Head and Makenna Southam for the Lakers. On Sunday, Jenna Fletcher connected off the opening faceoff, while Emily Clarke (2) and Taylor Vandale completed the offence. The Vernon Novice C Flames torched the Kelowna Killer Bees 8-5 Saturday in Rutland. Tanner Brown opened the Vernon offence with a hard wrist shot at 18:05 of the first after receiving a slick pass from defence partner Jacob Green. Jaxxon Collard made it 2-0 with a solo effort at 13:09 of the same period before Lochlan O’Keefe potted two in succession. The assists went to Steel Quiring and Liam Reid. Reid rounded out the first-period scoring with 41 seconds left after receiving a neat goal-mouth pass from Quiring. Green started the scoring for the Flames in the second assisted by Quiring. With 7:35 left in the second, Anne Cherkowski made good on a penalty shot after being hauled down while on a breakaway by Bees speedy forward Riley Dobranski. It was 7-2 Flames late in the second when the Bees came storming back with four in a row making it a contest. Quiring sealed the deal with his second goal and fourth point of the contest on an assist by Cherkowski.
Forsyth shines in last home stand LARRY READ For The Morning Star
KAMLOOPS – History was made at the Tournament Capital Centre Saturday night. For the first time in their six-year history in the Canada West, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack swept the University of Victoria Vikings in women’s basketball. The WolfPack handed Victoria their second straight defeat, 53-44, upping their record to 9-13. The Vikes fell to 15-7. The WolfPack took Friday night’s opener 62-59, and head Kayla Forsyth coach Scott Reeves felt it was the biggest two victories since he took over the program. “Every year we have had steps that we have had to make,” said Reeves. “There has been a win here and a win there. This certainly is sweet against a team like Victoria. They are a former No. 1 this year and have a rich history of having great teams and winning national championships. “It is a great accomplishment and I am very proud of the kids.” Reeves thought his team’s defence was the story. “The way we came out and made adjustments to their ball screens. We basically said we were going to win this thing on defence. We got defensive rebounds and beat them on the offensive glass. To
have a four- and five-point quarter against Victoria is exceptional.” On “seniors night,” it couldn’t have been written better as if it came out of Hollywood. Vernon forward Kayla Forsyth, a VSS Panther grad, was playing her final home game. The fifth-year forward scored the game’s first and last points. “I just really wanted to leave it all on the court tonight,” she said afterwards. “Sweeping Victoria is just the cherry on top. It was a good finish to five years.” Forsyth, surrounded by family, was named the TRU Bookstore “Leader of the Pack” player of thegame winding up with a game-high 18 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes of court time. Said Reeves on Forsyth: “She has put up these kind of numbers before. She always had the ability to shoot the ball. I am glad it happened tonight. I am very proud of Kayla. I wish nothing but the best for her in the future.” Forsyth was at a loss to pick a favourite WolfPack teammate. “They all contributed to my game both on and off the court.” TRU led 15-4 after the first quarter and were up 24-17 at the half. Jen Ju (third year, guard, Vancouver) had 12 points and six rebounds. TRU will close out its regular season at UBC this weekend against the Thunderbirds.

Going backwards on education
Any Chemical Service
(with purchase of cut & shampoo)
G
uess who said this recently: “We want to reward good teachers and stop making excuses for bad ones.” No, it wasn’t B.C. Liberal leadership hopeful Kevin Falcon, who has gone quiet on education since he caused a stir with his proposal for merit pay for public school teachers. And it wasn’t the Fraser Institute, which recently released its latest rankings based on foundation skills assessment (FSA) tests in B.C. schools. It was U.S. President Barack Obama, in his state of the union address. He was talking about Race to the Top, a federal bonus program he called “the most meaningful reform of our public schools in a generation.” “To all 50 states, we said, ‘If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and stu-
dent achievement, we’ll show you the money.’” B.C., meanwhile, is going backwards. After years of B.C. Teachers’ Federation sabotage of skills testing, the essential mechanism for any improvement in education techniques, the B.C. Principals’ and VicePrincipals’ Association abruptly surrendered a couple of Tom Fletcher weeks ago. The tests aren’t flawed, association president Jameel Aziz admitted, but they have been “successfully undermined” by the BCTF. Aziz listed three reasons for abandoning FSA tests. Two of them are factually wrong. He claimed that after years of BCTF disruption tactics, participation has fallen below 50 per cent in some districts. Ministry records show the lowest participation was 62 per cent, last year in the
B.C. VIEWS
Vancouver school district. The provincial average was 83 per cent, despite letters sent home by teacher union locals telling parents the tests are bad and suggesting they find some excuse for their kids to skip them. Aziz also blamed the Fraser Institute for its “misuse” of FSA data that “does not reflect the many unique challenges faced by individual schools, nor does it credit the many unique successes of individual schools.” Wrong again, says Peter Cowley, the Fraser Institute’s director of school performance studies. He notes that the rankings track local factors such as parental income and the proportion of English as a second language or special needs. “We’re hunting for schools that have shown that they are actually improving,” as well as those that are slipping, Cowley said. Critics like to set up a straw man by comparing schools in rich
urban areas with poor, remote schools. That’s “misuse,” designed to discredit the rankings and the tests. Parents should start by looking at the performance of their own school over five years. Is it getting better or worse? Rural parents can look at similar regions of B.C. and see if comparable schools are doing better. All parents can ask what extra help their children are getting to improve their individual areas of weakness. Aziz claimed that “some in government” have suggested FSA tests be replaced. Well, rookie cabinet minister Moira Stilwell has. For a more informed view, here’s Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid in an open letter to parents: “The push by the BCTF to end the FSAs is political. It’s about hiding information you, as parents, have a right to know about your child’s education and future.” Leadership candi-
date George Abbott made vague noises about supplementing FSA tests. Here is one change he could consider. The tests measure reading, writing and arithmetic skills at Grades 4 and 7. They track the individual student’s performance, as well as that of the team of teachers he or she has had to that point. Additional measurements could give a clearer picture of the performance of each teacher. Then Falcon’s merit pay idea could be implemented.

,OCAL HOPES TO PRODUCE A FEW 'RAMMYS Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Brongers is nominated for his work on album Recovery by Eminem KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind some of the biggest hip hop hits of the year, and now Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Brongers is going to one of the biggest parties of the year. One of the producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on rapper Eminemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mega hit album, Recovery, Brongers is on the team that has been nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of The Year. The awards gala airs live Sunday from L.A., and Brongers plans to be there accompanied by his mom Jeannie Reid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is surreal as I used to see the Grammys on TV. Regardless of what happens, I am excited to at least be attending,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers, who has been in L.A. working the past month with Canadian hip hop star Drake on his forthcoming album, Take Care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I originally thought my trip this month would only be for the Grammys and other social incidentals, only to get a call that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be actually doing work,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers via email to The Morning Star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My business abroad typically demands a few weeks of preparation as I prefer to create my music from home in Vernon rather than in off-site studios.â&#x20AC;? Working on a computer, and other electronic equipment, the 26-year-old Vernon Secondary School gradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speciality is preparing the melodic part of the beat used in hip hop music, rather than the rhythm (the drums). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I create music that sounds vintage, sounds like it comes from that era, a piece of music that sounds like it was recorded in a studio in Motown Records,â&#x20AC;? Brongers told The Morning Star in a 2009 interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything you can listen to on a computer can be created. You can simulate live instrumentation like a guitar loop or snare drum. My average sample takes about two hours.â&#x20AC;? Lately, Brongers has been working with producers Boi 1da (Drake) and Stargate (Rihanna, Beyonce) to generate a song. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, I am venturing more into my own production now,â&#x20AC;? he added. The opportunity to produce for Eminem came through his correspondence with Dr. Dre, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest record producers and founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Brongers is in Los Angeles, where he is working on Toronto rapper Drakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album. While there, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop by the Grammy Awards, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up for the Best Album Award as part of the production team on Eminemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Recovery, as well as for work with Drake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got in touch with Dr. Dre through the internet. I sent some of my work to Aftermathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MySpace website in 2008 and they replied the next day with a phone number to call,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers, who talked to Brandon Lamela, A&R of Aftermath Entertainment and assistant to Dr. Dre. From that time on, Brongers sent Aftermath his work in an effort to contribute to Dreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forthcoming encore album, Detox. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, when Eminemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album, Recovery, was in the works, Dr. Dre decided to use some of the work I sent him to create
a record for Eminemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album, resulting in So Bad,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers. And since Recovery has been nominated for album of the year at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grammys, every producer and guest artist involved is therefore a nominee, as the work in question is not merely that of Eminem, but a collaboration of all writers and performers involved, he added. Brongers is about to take the same journey with Toronto rapper Drake, who has been nominated for four Grammys this year, including Best New Artist and Rap
Recording of the Year for his platinum selling album, Thank Me Later. Drake will also be hosting the upcoming Junos, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nominated for six awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I met Drake his career has skyrocketed,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been acknowledged by many music authorities as being the new superstar of hip hop and urban music.â&#x20AC;? Brongers co-produced Thank Me Laterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first single, Over, with his friend Matthew Samuels (better known as Boi 1da), which has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drake is an incredible talent; a great deal of his work (if not all) is written by him alone, which is rare in this industry. He also has a great work ethic and is consequently already hard at work on his next album,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers. And the awards and accolades should keep coming as Brongers has more recently been working with legendary music mogul Timbaland, who has been instrumental in the careers of Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah, One Republic and Keri Hilson, to name a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am privileged and honoured to be mentored by him and look forward to what great things we may be able to accomplish,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thus far he has provided great and cogent advice for my own career and has opened many doors for me.â&#x20AC;? Brongers says he has also been fortunate to have his work published by Tim Blacksmith of Stellar Songs, (a child publishing company of EMI Publishing.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very fortunate to be published by Tim as his company is small and is hesitant to sign just anybody. Tim is an incredibly intelligent man and is a great coach to me.â&#x20AC;? Blacksmith also manages powerhouse Norwegian duo Stargate, not to be confused with the TV franchise of the same name. Stargate is responsible for nearly all of Rihannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit singles so far, and this year alone, have produced Rihanna and Drakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s My Name (the two artists are slated to perform at Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live Grammy broadcast,) as well as Rihannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Only Girl In the World, Katy Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Firework, and many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am happy to say that Stargate and I have some great music yet to be released,â&#x20AC;? said Brongers. Those who want to cheer the local on can tune in to the Grammy Awards live broadcast from Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Staples Center Sunday on CBS or Global TV at 8 p.m.

“Crossfire” play LIVE! February 11th & 12th
8:30pm - 12:30am SCREEN GEMS
College student Sara (Minka Kelly) sleeps while her new roommate, Rebecca (Leighton Meester), develops an unhealthy obsession with her, which quickly turns violent.
Best to live alone this time The Roommate: ★
out of 5
F
or fear of sounding vanilla, I don’t want to call The Roommate this generation’s version of Single White Female (or, for that matter, to brand it SWF: The College Years), but in all honesty, I pretty much have to. This is a remake, and we’ll be kind to label it with that term as opposed to a rip-off without actually billing itself as such. Minka Kelly plays a freshman college student Jason Armstrong whose roommate (Leighton Meester) becomes her BFF all too easy. It turns out, her buddy is a schizophrenic, forming an unnatural attraction towards her. And, without giving away a whole slew of spoilers, you pretty much know what that means: boyfriend (Cam Gigandet) in peril, the usual “ouch” moments as Meester marks her territory (how the Saw folks somehow didn’t think of a torn belly ring is beyond me), etc., etc. If you’re hoping The Roommate will spill over into the so-bad-it’s-good lane... uh, nope. I don’t think director Christian E. Christiansen, making his English-language film debut, loses anything in translation here. He’s just plain lazy on this one. His flick is horribly clichéd, and it’s inept. The suspense is so ineffectual, it’s laughable, and unfortunately, not in a good way. The cast is here ‘cause of looks, that much is
obvious. As far as terrifying goes, Meester is one notch above Cuddles the Kitten, a fellow cast mate. But at least she seems to be trying. Kelly just plain looks bored. Not commendable, but at least I can relate to it. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Dream cooks up some crazy fun
“
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream,” Edgar Allen Poe. You have to wonder what the folks behind the Tragically Comic Players were thinking when it came to staging their latest production, What’s Cooking? George’s Last Dream. Maybe it was to support writer/director Phil Wagner’s enigmatic ideal, or perhaps they wanted to play with the strange Inception-style homage to neorealist director Frederico Fellini. However, this strange, but funny existential play would have been better suited for the Fringe circuit rather than at the Schubert Centre during Vernon Winter Carnival. Kristin Froneman That’s not saying I didn’t enjoy it. It’s just that I was confounded at times. And I may not have been the only one on preview night scratching his/her own head. The play had a few laugh-out-loud moments, especially with the slow motion Matrix-like fight scene, and the puppet improv piece where two members of the audience controlled the movement of the actors. There was also some fine dancing to Beat Generation-style jazz music (complete with live drumming provided by Neil Morrison) and also some great acting from the cast. I just wonder if anyone really “got” what was going on? The plot was rather hazy at best. Even the play’s assistant stage manager (who was actually the stage manager in the play within a dream) asks the question: “existentialism, in Vernon?” Really we may not be ready for Ayn Rand or Jean-Paul Sartre at Carnival, just yet. Local musician Jackson Mace (of classic rock band MACE) got things started before the curtain opened, playing some fine tunes by the likes of Trooper and Robert Johnson. And he also played during the show’s two intermissions, a welcome respite. Now please bear with me as I try to get the “facts” right:

Vancouver’s El Mariachi (Los Dorados) is spending March Break in the Okanagan just after the band appears at the prestigious International Festival of Mariachis in Guadalajara, Mexico. “(They) are a festive musical ensemble that will literally transport audiences into the warmth and joy of Mexican culture,” said the show’s presenter Ken Smedley of the George Ryga Centre. His son, Terence “Diego” Smedley-Kohl, performs the guittaron in the group, and was born just south of Guadalajara, in the 500-year-old fishing village of Ajijic (ahhee-heek), and later moved with his family to Armstrong. “As a child, growing up in Mexico for the first 10 years of his life, Diego was greatly influenced by mariachi music,” said Smedley. “As an adult, it is a true thrill for him to perform in a mariachi

Jenny takes an ‘animated’ journey A love of drawing will take Jenny Story on a journey from high school graduation to the animation program at the Vancouver Film School KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
Thanks to a mother’s love and a daughter’s determination, the future is filled with possibilities for Jenny Story. And when she walks up on stage to collect her high school diploma in June, it will be the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The 17-year-old honours student at Fulton secondary school will leave Vernon this summer and begin her studies at Vancouver Film School. It’s been a long journey, and one that seemed impossible at the beginning. But Janet Walmsley was determined that her daughter’s future would be as bright as any other youngster’s. When Jenny was born, the doctor who delivered her called her the most alert baby he’d ever seen. Three years later, Janet was faced with the devastating news that her daughter was mildly mentally challenged. Jenny was finally diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at Sunnyhill Health Centre, a program of B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, and Janet was told her daughter would never speak well, would never get married and would not do well in subjects like math. “At 12 months, she had inoculations and got very sick, so I took her to the hospital, and she was there for 1 1/2 weeks and they still couldn’t tell me what was going on,” said Janet. “My best friend was looking after her and when I came home one day she said, ‘I don’t know who this is but it’s not Jenny.’ “She used to be very sociable and then she stopped talking, and she would get mad if we didn’t do things the same way every time, she’d have fits.” Then living in Yellowknife, the family moved to Vernon, when Janet separated from Jenny’s father, who was not understanding of his daughter’s needs. “When she had a fit, he would say, ‘she needs a smack and no dinner.’ As a mom, you have to be the rock, and I was assertive. I was told by a doctor that there was nothing wrong with her, but as a mother I knew.
This is Lyle...

Grade 12 student Jenny Story works on a drawing in the art room at Fulton secondary school. “My big thing was for Jenny and I wanted to make sure I got everything I could for her. Vernon has been awesome.” Thanks to support from NONA and Gail Cunningham and her team at Brer Rabbit Daycare, Jenny began to thrive. “At daycare, I had imaginary friends and we would have adventures,” she said. “I was happy there.” She started kindergarten at Okanagan Landing elementary school and recalls her early school days as difficult. “I was the only one who had my own blankie there,” said Jenny, holding back tears at the memory. “But I did make one friend.” Jenny had difficulty making friends and needed to build up trust before she could get close to someone. “She preferred to be on her own,” said Janet. “Thank God for kids who have empathy. “Socialization has always been a concern of mine. She’s a true-blue friend, kind and giving and would never want to hurt anybody’s feelings.” Jenny admits that starting high school terrified her, with its large classes. But she also discovered a place where her artistic abilities could thrive. “I always liked to do art because it comforted me,” she said. “But high school
was scary because I had trouble talking to people. “But with certain classes and with certain teachers, I had fun, especially Mrs. Wallberg, Mr. Gee and Mrs. Harrison, who really believed in me and I am where I am because of them.” Janet has nothing but praise for everyone who has supported her daughter: staff at Okanagan Landing and Fulton schools, and family support such as Jenny’s older brother Chris, who lives in Australia, and her stepfather, Travis Walmsley. “Learning was hard for Jenny, with so many subjects at once, but she was always into drawing,” said Janet. “She worked hard and was determined, but I have had her come home in tears. We have such a bond. She will come to me and tell me what happens. She is my daughter and we are best friends, too,” said Janet. “She has fought the fight and climbed to the top of an unbeatable mountain; every day for Jenny to go to school is a challenge as she has to face being able to converse with peers and teachers as she constantly is worrying and has troubles about how to say her thoughts and relay them and then to think about answering questions,” said Janet. “This is part of her autistic spectrum. It is a constant struggle for her but she heads to school every day knowing this and troops in there.
“She has excellent attendance, so this really is admirable of her. It is the same with her learning, however she works extremely hard at her school work.” Jenny discovered a love of animation at a young age, sitting for hours and watching her favourite movies such as The Fox and the Hound, 101 Dalmatians and Bambi. So when she began to look to the future, studying animation was her first choice. Her love of animation was a natural fit for studying at the Vancouver Film School, where she will study classical two-dimensional animation and digital character animation. Eventually, Jenny sees herself working on feature films, similar to some of her favourites: How to Train Your Dragon and A Nightmare Before Christmas. “I was really excited at first but now I’m also nervous because this is a new experience, but it’s one that is worth taking,” she said. “I’m glad Mom is going with me.” And best buddy Sparkles will also make the trip. The long-haired Jack Russell has been with Jenny since she was a young child. Both look forward to exploring Vancouver, once they make the move there, checking out favourites such as the Aquarium and Science World, to shopping at the large malls. “I’m into hockey and we’ll do lots of exploring,” said Janet. Meanwhile, as Jenny studies animation, her mom will be pursuing her acting career, continuing the work for which she is familiar to Vernon audiences in a number of shows at Powerhouse Theatre. “We’re both following our dreams,” said Janet. “She has come from a place of autism and now is an honour student. I’m so proud of her. This young woman has taught me so much and has been such a blessing to me. “Of course it’s hard, but it’s not been a yucky hard, it’s been a beautiful journey. She has studied hard and should be so proud of herself. A counsellor told me that she’s a miracle, that a child could do what she’s done, from three years old, through kindergarten, to now, it’s so rare it’s almost unbelievable.” An account has been set up at VantageOne Credit Union and if there are local businesses or individuals who wish to contribute for Jenny to pursue her dream, they can contact Janet or Jenny at 250-558-1589. “Their donation or scholarship would be in good hands of a girl who is so hard working, smart, honest, respectful, kind, who deserves to see her dreams come true and hoping people can help her and be a part of her dream,” said Janet.

Leave the hot friend at home
D
ear Annie: I have been best friends with “Claire” since junior high. She is nothing short of a knockout, with a sweet personality to match. We have always been very close, and I treasure our friendship. The problem is, when we are out together, men are interested in Claire but feel she is unapproachable because she is so beautiful. Instead, they talk me up to try to get their foot in the door with her. Quite frankly, I am fed up with men only talking to me because they know Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar I am friends with Claire. Then, when she isn’t interested in them, I have to let them down. It’s exhausting. I am successful, educated, smart and funny, and I’m not bad looking, either, but men are only interested in my hot friend. This has been going on since high school, and I’m 35, for heaven’s sake. How do I break this cycle or, at the very least, tactfully tell these men that I am not the key to Claire’s heart? — Invisible Dear Invisible: You are always going to suffer by comparison to Claire, so we strongly urge you not to try to meet men

when you are with her. Her bright light makes everything else seem dim. On other occasions, when you are in Claire’s company, it is perfectly OK to refuse to intercede. If you are approached about Claire, simply say, “Sorry, but if you are interested in my friend, you’ll have to talk to her directly.” Dear Annie: We recently had dinner at a local restaurant with three other couples. Usually, a tip is automatically added with parties of six or more, but this time, the server did not do so. Our friend who handled the check added the tip to the total bill, including the fairly hefty tax, and then divided by the number of couples to see what we each owed. I was taught that one gave a tip on the price of the meal, not including the tax. Who is correct? — Wondering in New Hampshire Dear N.H.: You are, although we are sure the server appreciated the extra money. Since it bothers you, we recommend you handle the check next time. Dear Annie: This is in response to “To Gift or Not To Gift,” whose daughter-inlaw was talking about a divorce. “Gift” wanted to know if the daughter-in-law should be taken off the annual gift list. It is always best to take the peaceful way in a family matter. I did and never regretted it. When my son and his wife
split up, I told them both that I love them and their child and would not make my granddaughter choose between her parents. I included my daughter-in-law in all family gatherings. They separated, but never divorced. When my son was killed a few months later, I said as far as I was concerned there was no separation. I included my daughter-in-law in planning the funeral and the obituary. People had the nerve to say I shouldn’t have been so inclusive, but I told them I was the mother and this is what I wanted. I did it for my daughterin-law, my granddaughter and our family. We are still close, and my granddaughter stays with me quite a bit. Had I made enemies with my daughter-in-law when they separated, I may not have had the chance to spend so much time with my son’s daughter. I say give her the gift, and the next time she complains about your son, simply say, “You are talking about my child, and it hurts me to hear negative things about him. Please don’t put me in the middle like that.” You will be surprised how fast she will respect your wishes. My daughter-in-law once asked whether I minded if she still considered me to be her mother-in-law, even if she someday remarries. I told her I would be honored. — A.G. Dear A.G.: You did it right. Brava.
Workshop helps support family members Morning Star Staff
The North Okanagan Community Council presents a discussion about supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families as they age. These discussions will help develop a better understanding of the varying needs, interests, and areas of concern that will impact their lives and help generate ideas on how the community can best support individuals with developmental disabilities and their families as they age. Discussions will also explore where partnerships and joint responses can be established to address the needs and interests of people eligible for CLBC (Community Living BC) services. The organizers welcome input from the community, including health care providers, aging parents, self-advocate seniors, representatives from seniors’ groups and centre, staff from university gerontology departments, service providers both within and outside of CLBC, any community partners who support
or advocate for people with developmental disabilities, recreation department staff, groups or clubs that provide services and support to seniors and any others who are involved, interested in the aging/seniors field. Participants will be asked to consider what a safe and dignified future would look like for themselves or their family members, what challenges they or their family members will experience as they age, and what has worked well for them, as well as what they will need as they age. The meeting takes place March 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. at The Schubert Centre. For more information contact Bill Tidsbury, integrated manager, at 250549-5667. RSVP to Greta Cooper at 250-549-5490.

Psa. 96:11: The Massorah (Jewish Commentary and Text) draws attention to an unusual acrostic (poem). The words in vs. 11: “let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad” are in Hebrew: Yismehu Hashshamayim Vthagel Ha’arez’; thus the 1st four letters of each word form the TETRAGRAMMATON: YHWH, which with the added vowels is YAHWEH (God). vs. 12: “then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD...he cometh to judge the earth.”

Minister defends natural resource portfolio JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
Putting all the permits, licences and authorities to use B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crown-owned land in a single ministry is not all about allowing more efficient economic development of the resource, says Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about approving the right projects, not just any project,â&#x20AC;? said Thomson about the new ministry he was asked to head up last October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Crown land is a resource for the future. We need to make careful, balanced decisions about its use,â&#x20AC;? he says. Thomson admits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very aware that people are watching the new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;super ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to see how it works â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and whether it works. But, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident that it can work. By collectively working with a number of the natural resource ministries, he says it will be possible to better address the challenges of both reduced staffing levels and reduced budgets in individual ministries. He hopes this will result in improved communication between ministries where otherwise there could be conflict. While policy is still set by the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;line ministries,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the new ministry carries it out in terms of administering licensing and regulation, under their direction, he explained. What makes it all work is the Environment and Land Use Committee (ELUC) of the B.C. cabinet, which includes the ministers of energy (also Thomson at the moment), forests (Pat Bell, who chairs it), mines (Randy Hawes), aboriginal relations (Barry Penner), environment (Murray Coell) and agriculture (Ben Stewart), as well as the parliamentary secretary for water stewardship (John Slater). Deputy ministers also attend those meetings, and sit on the Natural Resource Management Board.
At ELUC all those ministers work together to resolve issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only works if we all work collectively.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a support ministry for the line ministries. We ensure strategic policy is carried out,â&#x20AC;? said Thomson.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully we resolve issues and find a balance with a collaborative approach. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one land base and
it has many pressures from many uses.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, he admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a work in progress, getting a new
ministry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made up of key staff from many different ministries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up and running smoothly. Adjustments are still
being made, and he would like to see some flexibility where there are bits that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working.

New program tracks water
A BIN OF SUPPORT
JUDIE STEEVES Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Sue Beaudry (right), with the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, accepts a $86,000 donation from the Armstrong/Spallumcheen Health Care Auxiliary at the Bargain Bin in Armstrong. The money will go towards medical equipment for the new patient care tower at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.
It may seem like it comes from many different sources, but in fact we share one interconnected water in this near-desert valley, so every move toward sharing and cooperating means management of it can be more efficient and effective. That reminder came from Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan at the launch of a new web-based tool to keep an ongoing record of what’s being used by the valley’s largest utilities. “There used to be a lot more parochialism in the valley, but it’s getting better,” he said. The Streamlined Water Use Reporting Tool, or SWURT, was launched recently with a training session for staff from water utilities who will begin using it immediately. Monthly online reporting of water use will replace the annual, paper report of water use that utilities have submitted to the province up to now. It is information that will also be available for water managers to see at a glance what their usage is in comparison to other utilities, in comparison to last year’s use, and along with data on environmental conditions, evapo-transpiration rates and snowpack measurements as well. It begins with the 25 largest utilities in the Okanagan as a pilot, but the tool will eventually include all 100 utilities in the valley, said Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL A relationship with someone with whom you formerly had a strong attachment could blossom once again in the year ahead. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve both grown, the association has a chance to develop. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, nothing will change. Move on with your life.
PUZZLE NO. 203
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) If you want anybody, but especially those in your household to do your bidding, you first have to set an example worthy of emulation. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get.
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. 100414

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Yielding to self-doubts will get you no place. Ignore all thoughts about â&#x20AC;&#x153;what if?â&#x20AC;? and concentrate only on â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can.â&#x20AC;? If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have faith in yourself, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll quit before you even begin. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Engaging in activities that could either help or hurt your material wellbeing should not be taken lightly. Give money matters all the time and attention they need. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It might take all the elbow grease you can muster to complete a task you thought would be a snap to do. However, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared to work a bit harder than expected, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll succeed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Unless you are openminded about what others have to say, you could find yourself being offended by something a companion says where you know no ill will was intended. Lighten up. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Usually you can take in stride the behavior of your friends, because you know everybody is human, but any hint of selfishness or rudeness might greatly offend you. Be more forgiving. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could find yourself in the position of being able to block an ambitious objective of another who recently treated you poorly. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sorry if you make an ally instead of an enemy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heard it many times before, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find something nice to say about someone, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything.â&#x20AC;?

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes 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.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Doug Larson, a newspaper columnist, said, “What some people mistake for the high cost of living is really the cost of high living.” In this deal, there is a high cost for not playing high at the right moment. How should the play and defense proceed in three no-trump after West leads the heart king? What do you think of North’s raise to three no-trump? I like North’s bid. If his suit generates six tricks, three no-trump is likely to make. If, however, the suit proves useless, South will probably struggle to take even seven tricks. Of the alternative responses, two no-trump is the one not to make. When you have a long suit and know partner
has some fit (which South must have because he opened in no-trump), either bid three no-trump or make your suit trumps. South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. He hopes to get the extra tricks from dummy’s diamond suit, planning to duck the first round to East. South holds up his heart ace until the third round of the suit, then leads a low diamond to dummy’s 10. East wins with his jack and shifts to a low club, but South takes his ace and runs dummy’s diamonds to take nine tricks: two spades, one heart, five diamonds and one club. At least, that is South’s plan. But West can thwart
it by playing his diamond queen when declarer leads the suit at trick four. Now South has no chance. If he lets West win the trick, West cashes two heart winners for down one. And if South takes the fourth trick in the dummy, he can no longer establish and run the diamond suit.

WINIFRED STEEL Our dear friend and beloved Aunt Win passed away very peacefully on Tuesday, Feb 8 at home in Vernon, B.C. She was just a month short of her 103rd Birthday. Win was predeceased by her husband Weldon in 1991. She is survived by many great friends, a large extended family, nieces and nephews in Australia, Ontario, and Vancouver Island. Win was born in Oxford England in 1908. When she was 10 years old her father died in the flu epidemic of 1918; her mother passed just 3 years later. She was sent to live with relatives and was separated from her 3 younger brothers who she would not see again for 30 years. Win graduated in nursing and spent many satisfying years care-giving, in the operating room, and as a midwife delivering babies. She met her soldier and Canadian beau, Weldon Steel in 1946 and journeyed to Canada on the Aquatania the following year, where they were married. Weldon’s career with the Bank of Montreal took them to many cities; they finally settled in Vernon in 1963. Volunteer work, social events, charities, gardening, and golfing were her passions. Her positive attitude about life and feisty sense of humour endeared her to all she met; a day was not complete without a chilled gin and tonic with friends at cocktail hour. Win’s good health and active life allowed her to live in her own house until she was 96, then into her new home in Canterbury Court. Win you were an inspiration to us all, we will miss you. Sweet dreams. No funeral service by request. A Celebration of Life to be held on her birthday March 30, 2011 at Canterbury Court.
We regret to announce the peaceful passing of Gertie Burns on Jan 12, 2011 at Vernon Hospice House. She is predeceased by her loving husband Jim, her parents and three sisters. Surviving are her sister Norah, brother Earl (Donna), sisterin-law Helen Belous and several nieces and nephews. No funeral by request
“Rest in Peace Gertie”

Joyce’s friends and acquaintances will be saddened to know she died on Friday, February 4th. Especially grieving are her immediate family: her daughters Sheryl Wynne (Rick) and Glenne, her sons Roderick (Margie) and Ian and her son-in-law Wayne Richardson. Ian’s twin, Sheryl Richardson, predeceased Joyce by more than four years. Joyce grieved her untimely loss of her youngest daughter every day for the rest of her life.
Arrangements have been entrusted to:
PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME (250) 542-4333 Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com C m
One thing led to another and Joyce became a Vernonite. It was a most fortuitous happenstance, especially because the ski week was supposed to be at Todd Mountain until it was rained out.
CLIFFORD LORNE AEICHELE Jan. 15, 1935 – Feb. 4, 2011
In Memoriam
(1930 – 2011)
Joyce moved to Vernon from Calgary in 1970. During a ski week at Silver Star a local realtor convinced Allan to look at a chalet he had listed for $8,000. Allan made a ridiculous counter. mainly to be left alone. It was accepted.
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Nora Adelaide McNiven on February 4, 2011 in Vernon, BC. Expression
Joyce Edith McLennan
It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Clifford. He is survived by sons Trevor and Derrick, daughters Betty and Shandra, brother Ivan (Bev), sisters Lorraine and Peggy (Irvine), 7 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. A Memorial will be announced at a later date. You will always be remembered. Cremation arrangements are in the care of Vernon Funeral Home 250-542-0155. Condolences may be offered at www.vernonfuneralhome.com
MCCALLUM, Kathleen Mary
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Kathleen Mary McCallum on February 4, 2011 in Vernon, BC. Expression of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via email: vernon@myalternatives.ca. Arrangements entrusted to PERSONAL ALTERNATIVE FUNERAL SERVICES, Armstrong 250-546-7237 & Vernon 250-558-0866.
Joyce loved living in Vernon. She loved the hills and mountains, the valleys and lakes, the size of the town, the activities it offered, the classic seasons and, especially, the friendliness of the people and the fact that people from all walks of life socialized together, volunteered together, played together and built a community together. Joyce enjoyed joining her friends in skiing, lake activities, badminton, golf and, of course, bridge. The weekly session with the good friends in her bridge club gave Joyce great pleasure. For the last few weeks, Joyce was a resident of Noric House. Her family is grateful to the staff and, especially, the care-givers who carry out duties professionally yet in a very personal way. A memorial event will held at a later date.
