More enhancements to Greater Vernon’s water supply are proceeding under pressure from the Interior Health Authority. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee has given early budget authorization for $160,000 to be spent on the Duteau Creek filtration pilot project and conceptual design. “It’s important that we finish it this year because we may be ordered to do it,” said Arnold Badke, the North Okanagan Regional District’s engineering general manager.
“It’s important that we finish it this year.” — Arnold Badke IHA has stated that filtration must be in place by 2015, and that a pilot study and the selection of treatment technology must occur by late 2012. “Greater Vernon has currently been out of compliance with the Drinking Water Protection Act for several years,” Dr. Paul Hasselback,
IHA medical health officer, told the regional district board Wednesday. The projected cost for filtration is about $20 million, and it will reduce the potential risk from water-borne illnesses. “We have been told we’re not in compliance and that’s why we have to do this,” said director Patrick
Nicol. Support for the pilot project was unanimous. “It’s doing our due diligence and collecting the data we need to collect,” said director Jim Garlick. However, there are some concerns that IHA is forcing GVAC to take a direction that may not be necessary. “What happens if we don’t do filtration?” said director Mike Gavinchuk. “Is the water that bad? Maybe we should challenge filtration.” Director Wayne Lippert points out that data presented by IHA is from 2007 and may not reflect the
current situation. “We’ve put a number of things in place since then. They have a responsibility to give us good data,” he said. Director Ted Osborn also has similar concerns. “We don’t want to get into a position where we’re putting money into old technology because things are changing very quickly,” he said of treatment methods. Besides the $60,000 for the pilot project and designs, a consultant will be utilized at a cost of $108,040 and $51,960 is being set aside for forecasted allowances and contingencies.

A Lumby youth has shown that pasta power pays off. Johnathan Halbgwachs, a 14-year-old Grade 9 student at Charles Bloom Secondary, won the 28th annual Okanagan College International Spaghetti Bridge Building Competition in Kelowna Friday. “It’s pretty neat,� said Halbgwachs, who has participated twice before but this is his first time winning. With help from fellow student Clayton Mazu, he built a 965 gram bridge that held 209 kilograms in the heavyweight category. This is the first time in sev-

Halbgwachs won $1,500, which he will split with Mazu. Mazu placed first in the secondary school category, which required the lightest bridge built to hold a one-kilogram weight for five minutes. “At the heart of the competition is the idea of promoting science and technology to elementary and high school students,� says

Commonage asked about fire protection RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Residents of the rural part of the Commonage will be asked for their thoughts on fire protection. The North Okanagan Regional District is considering pursuing interest in a fire service for 98 properties along Commonage Road, Bailey Road and Highway 97. “I get e-mails from people concerned about the situation,” said director Mike Gavinchuk. Both Coldstream and Vernon have turned down requests to have their departments respond to fires there. The properties are part of Area B, which includes Swan Lake and a portion of the BX. Those areas are served by the BX-Swan Lake Fire Department, and a limited response to the Commonage may be possible. “Limited response is intended to reflect the fact that response times may exceed 20 minutes, which for an aggressive fire could represent total loss of a structure,” said Ron Baker, protective services manager, in a memo. “The primary benefit of such a response would be to control
“Their fire trucks go right by these people.” — Mike Gavinchuk if possible the fire spreading to adjacent structures.” Insurance companies do not recognize an area beyond eight kilometres from a fire hall as having protection. Given that the shortest distance from the BX fire hall to the Commonage is 13 kilometres, a reduction in insurance premiums is not anticipated. Residents will be asked if they want to establish a protection area to access the BX fire service. After the input pro-
cess, NORD will not likely take any further action unless a petition for service is received from more than 50 per cent of the property owners representing 50 per cent of the property value. Gavinchuk believes Vernon firefighters are the only viable option for residents. “Their fire trucks go right by these people to get to Predator Ridge,” he said. “The city should be willing to help. The residents would be willing to pay for the service.”

Garbage focus of survey RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Rural residents will be asked if they want to get rid of garbage on their own or if mandatory collection is needed. The North Okanagan Regional District may conduct a waste collection survey in BX-Swan Lake, BX-Silver Star, rural Lumby and rural Enderby. “We’re trying to find out if the current service is adequate or if they want something different,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. Presently, rural residents have two choices take the waste to the landfill themselves or hire a company to collect it. Fairbairn isn’t convinced his constituents would embrace mandatory curbside collection as occurs in Vernon or other municipalities. “There would be a cost because our area is so spread out,” he said. Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, admits he isn’t hearing a lot of demand for mandatory collection. “There isn’t a big push. It’s not necessarily coming from the public,” he said. However, Macnabb says the concept of mandatory collection should be considered because residents and small haulers going to the landfill generates a lot of traffic. “From a greenhouse gas issue, is it more efficient to self-haul or have one service?” he said. NORD staff have heard from residents who favour the current system and from others who want a curbside collection service. “Due to this conflicting information, staff would like to solicit

input from residents in the electoral areas to determine if there is a desire for expanded curbside residential waste collection in areas where such a program is feasible,” said Karmen Morgan, waste reduction co-ordinator.

VantageOne takes top prize Morning Star Staff
Last year they walked off with Employer of the Year. This time around, VantageOne Credit Union collected the top honour. The North Okanagan-based financial services provider was named Business of the Year at the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce annual Business Excellence Awards gala Saturday night at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. VantageOne, which operates two branches in Vernon, one in Armstrong and another in Edgewood, beat out a field of nearly 100 businesses that received awards nominations. The five-person judging panel was hard-pressed to whittle the field down to 27 finalists in nine categories. Each finalist had a short video detailing their business aired before Saturday night’s sellout crowd. “Judging for the awards is an inspiring experience, as the nominee has garnered the attention and support of their nominator, and that nominator has taken the time and energy to create a package on their behalf, in support of the nomination,� said chamber president Deb Leroux, one of the judges. Other panel members included Betty Gaudet (BMO), Jane Lister (Community Futures), Ruby Sharma (City Furniture) and Mike Benedek (Resort TV). The 2011 Business Excellence Awards winners are: ■Small Business of the Year: GumTree Catering. ■Young Entrepreneur of the Year: www.vernondeals.ca. ■Marketer of the Year: Predator Ridge Resort. ■Personal/Professional Business of the Year: Brenda Hala Photography. ■Employer of the Year: Nixon Wenger Lawyers LLP. ■Sterling Service Award: OK Tire. ■New Business Of The Year: Blenz Coffee. ■Green Business Of The Year: Briteland Holdings Ltd.

t was ugly. Watson, IBM’s digital “Jeopardy” contestant, kicked 74-time winner Ken Jennings’ butt during a much-publicized Man-vs.-Computer match. It has led to all kinds of speculation that, some day soon, computers will start doing things only humans could do before. That is scary. Do we really want to live in a world where computers rob 7-Elevens, cheat on their wives, and call in sick to work when they really plan to go golfing? Still, until that happens, humans will always be necessary. Jim Mullen Sure, Watson did a good job on a televised quiz show but let’s get real, how would he do on Survivor? Can he light a fire in the jungle? Can he form an alliance with the right group of doubledealing, backstabbing, self-serving contestants? Can he lie with a straight face? Can he play office politics? Imagine how badly Watson would do on Jersey Shore. Even if he is smarter and has more personality, it’s unlikely that he’ll ever get a date with Snooki. Sure, Watson could win everything on shows like the Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune, where his Google-like reference skills would come in handy, but what would he do with the prizes? It’s not like he’s ever going to take the all-expenses paid, two-week vacation in Rio that he would most certainly win. Would he jump up and down and scream in ecstasy over winning a year’s supply of Hot Pockets? That takes a real, live person. The IBM staffers that have to shuffle around his room-sized brain would probably get quickly bored with it, too. And there are other, even bigger differences between a know-it-all computer and the average dumb human. What would you do with all Watson’s publicity? That’s right, you’d hire a high-

powered agent who’d be booking you on Oprah and Ellen, you’d be working the lecture circuit, you’d be hanging out with Will.i.am at celebrityfilled restaurants in L.A. and New York, and you’d start down the well-trodden path to becoming an alcoholic drug addict. Let’s see a computer do that! Then he’ll start acting like a human. At first, I thought that after his Jeopardy success Watson might be able to earn a good living making guest appearances on police procedurals like CSI, but then I realized the show would only be two minutes long if he was in the cast. “Who could have wanted this guy dead?” one character asks, and before anyone else can say a word, Watson would chime in with, “What is his wife’s lover? He lives at 1516 Sprained Ankle Rd. Here’s his driver’s license photo, his fingerprints on the murder weapon and his DNA results.” Show over. Roll credits. If Watson was hired by 60 Minutes, it would be renamed 60 Seconds. Speed doesn’t usually make good drama. Maybe he could host the Oscars. There’s a show that needs to pick up the pace a little. How would Watson do on American Idol? Sure, he wouldn’t forget the words, but does he have the speakers to go all the way to the top? And what’s his back story? Does he have a dead-end job at home, two little children who believe in him? Will this be his last chance to prove to himself and the world that he has what it takes? Has he paid his dues? Will he start to cry if Randy Jackson tells him “Dog, that was a little pitchy.” Will Watson miss the spotlight? Will he be one of those old computers that lives in the past, telling anyone who passes by how things used to be in the good old days — two-and-a-half-years ago. Then he’d be acting like a human.

There’s the law and then there’s plain common decency. The U.S. Supreme Court found itself arbitrating between the two last week and in its ruling, came down on the side of the former. But it did so at the expense of the latter. The court ruled that as hurtful as it is for the grieving family, it’s OK for a fundamentalist U.S. Baptist church to send raucous protesters to demonstrate outside the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The court’s ruling, in essence, says it’s OK for the protesters to shout homophobic and antiabortion slurs and insult the dead soldiers being laid to rest. The justices ruled 8-1 saying free speech, no matter how ugly, was protected by that country’s constitution. In Canada, we like to think we are different than the United States and any person with an ounce of empathy and caring should hope that such a barbaric display of mean-spirited venom does not take root here. As is the case often, despite the aforementioned desire to be different, we in Canada often copy what’s done in the U.S. if we think it can be effective. But to those who would consider following suit, please don’t confuse the sacrosanct right to free speech and expression with the humanity of letting grieving parents and children bury their dead in peace. Protesting in Canada in recent years has often turned ugly but so far it has not intruded on the funerals of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan. We need to keep it that way. We can’t let decency become yet another casualty of war. There is a time and place for everything. Funerals, however, are not the place to wage a war of words. — Kelowna Capital News

Prison worthy of support
P
ersonally, I am in favour of Lumby receiving a remand centre. As a recent graduate of the correctional studies program in Lethbridge, Alta, I have learned the ins and outs of the prison system and how they are run. To be honest, before entering the program, I had many of the same opinions as a lot of the people opposing jails; ‘they are dangerous, it could make communities unsafe, they will just stick around once they are out.” But after three years of learning about corrections, I have come to the realization that all of these fears are fairly unfounded. Prisons pose minute risks to public. Many of the prison escapes that are published in the news are not escapes at all; they are just low-risk offenders, who are not a risk to the public, walking away from job sites. High-risk offenders who escape are extremely rare. Remand offenders would not have the opportunity to be outside of the prison walls besides going court because of the fact
that they are on remand. Offenders in remand have not yet been sentenced and, therefore, are kept under much higher surveillance and supervision. Also, when those offenders leave the remand centre, they are sentenced and would be sent either to federal or provincial institutions, not let out on the street. The correctional officers are highly trained in static and dynamic security procedures which maintain the security of the entire institution. There is a prison in Lethbridge, where I was studying, and I rarely
FACILITY NEEDED Re: the article in The Morning Star Feb. 9. I am truly concerned with the overly aggressive tone of those opposed to the correctional centre proposed for Lumby. I feel sad that the No supporters are berating some people verbally on the streets or merchants in their place of business. Lumby council is elected to represent Lumby taxpayers not regional folks. Many who demonstrated in front of our village office reside in the region. I am also concerned that much of the No arguments is to foster fear in the minds of Lumby residents. How would the facility place residents in any more danger than we already are? There are murders in many communities – luckily not ours. There are sexual assaults and family violence in every community, gang violence and drug dealers, car thieves and destruction of property around every corner. By all means, let's have them on the streets rather than locking them up. The correctional centre will pay its fair share
heard people mention the prison because it was out of the way and people just seemed to forget it was there. Crime does not increase simply from placing an institution in a community, especially since the offenders in that prison won’t have the chance to be there. They will stay inside the prison. Considering the economic downturn in recent months, the opportunities that would arise from building a prison are numerous, and would provide many people with well-paying jobs. Now, I may be slightly biased because a new prison would give
to the community — gee we may get a real recreation complex with a covered pool, updated arena and a band shell in the park. Perhaps even an arts centre. We may even be able to keep our schools open, because be assured, this double-echo boom won’t last and schools will close. The mention of taxpayers’ property being devalued is also misleading. The folks working in the centre will more than likely be our folks and others that come will need housing. There will be a huge workforce and hiring will happen locally – in Lumby, the regional district, Lavington, Coldstream and Vernon. I agree with Ms. Harneds’ comments that these folks are speaking out of fear, lack of knowledge, mistrust and being provided with skewed statistics that are from U.S. prisons – a totally different system than ours. Let Lumby vote for the preservation of Lumby and not feel threatened by those that yell the loudest. A reminder to Lumby citizens. We will all still be neighbours when this is over. Elinor Turrill

me a career opportunity, but I am not the only one. Even if Lumby residents decide to pass on the prison, another community in the Okanagan will decide to have it built since Penticton has shown interest in it. Although residents may be fearful, from an opinion based on three years of knowledge about corrections, I really do not think there is anything to worry about safetywise, and neither do many of the other communities with prisons in them. Of course there are slim chances that negative things could happen, there always are. But the fact is that they do not happen on a regular and frequent basis. They usually happen years apart and are extremely rare. So, I encourage Lumby residents to truly research the positives of building a correctional centre and not just blindly follow the naysayers, because you may give up one of the best opportunities that the village has been offered recently. Nathalie Porter
NOT WANTED If the prison becomes a reality in Lumby, its location would be practically downtown, overpowering the businesses and homes that were there for many years. Why would the village council do that to those people? The businesses in that area would benefit from the sewer and other services upgrade but in the long-run, they will lose out on property values around the prison as the property would become almost worthless. This prison would only be about eight blocks from downtown. When we had the first meeting in Lumby, Mayor Kevin Acton said there would be 200 inmates. Now it's 360 and by the time they build this prison, it could be 500 or 600. It's starting to look like HST. And will they have a courtyard and will it be in plain view? And will it be a drug-free prison and will people bring drugs to Lumby? I would sooner pay 10 or 20 a month more in taxes than have a prison here. Ray Cameron
SPEAK OUT Our Area E director, Eugene Foisy, stated recently that he has received no phone calls from Cherryville residents requesting to be included in the April 30 referendum regarding a prison in Lumby. We will also be impacted by whatever decision is made one way or the other. Phone Eugene if you do want a referendum to express your views. He needs to know ASAP as time is quickly running out for organizing one out here. Louise Wilcox

Bank robber given prison sentence ROGER KNOX

One man is in hospital, and one is in police custody, after a shooting in Lake Country Thursday night. A 911 emergency call came in to police at around 7:45 p.m. on March 3, when a 59-year-old man, who lives in the 10,000 block of Highway 97, went to a woman’s residence and asked her to call for help. Police quickly attended the residence and, shortly thereafter, arrested the man. Police then located the victim, a 44-year-old man, who lives with the

January. Total residential sales dipped by 8.33 per cent over February last year (to 77 from 84), while residential sales volumes dropped by 25.75 per cent compared to the same period in 2010 (to $21.14 million compared to $28.47 million).

Officers locate grow operation in Lumby area
Morning Star Staff
One marijuana grow operation down for Lumby RCMP, one missed. Police entered a residence on Rawlings Lake Road Feb. 24 and seized some 25 marijuana plants and all of the associated grow-op equipment. It was the third drug search conducted by Lumby RCMP in 2011. The same week, however, police
missed a very large grow-op that had been dismantled prior to police arrival at a property on Richlands Road in Cherryville. “This was a textbook case with the absentee property owner staying at arm’s length while outsiders are brought in to plant and tend the crop,” said Cpl. Henry Proce. Proce said those individuals have

Intersection draws scrutiny ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An Armstrong intersection close to three city schools is under review. Council has directed staff to conduct some research into the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Rosedale Avenue, where students and staff from Armstrong Elementary School, Len Wood Middle School and Pleasant Valley Secondary School, along with other residents, habitually cross. “That corner on Rosedale has been a fairly big accident scene,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “People fly over the sidewalks in their cars. It’s a very busy sidewalk with all of the schools around there. We want to do our due diligence to see how we can improve it.” There is a pedestrian light at the intersection,
“People fly over the sidewalk.” — Chris Pieper but the problem, particularly in winter, is drivers heading north on Pleasant Valley Road driving too fast when making a right-turn at the large sweeping corner. Vehicles have ended up sliding through the intersection, hitting cars or a fence behind a sidewalk on the north side of Rosedale Avenue. Following consultation with engineers from the city and ICBC’s Road Safety department, Armstrong public works manager Pat Hickerson presented four options for council to consider. The one option favoured by ICBC would be shortening
the curb radius so drivers have to slow down and make more of a 90-degree corner. “That was the preferred interim option the ICBC engineer recommended, if we do anything,” said Hickerson, who estimated such an undertaking would cost approximately $15,000 to $20,000. Other options before council include installing a traffic island, which would cost around $5,000. But Hickerson said it’s not really a viable option as there is not enough room to put in an island large enough and go far enough up Rosedale to prevent sliding through the
intersection. Council could spend around $10,000 to install concrete no-post barriers along the sidewalk. And, the most expensive option would be installing a traffic light or something along that line if warranted. A traffic light, Hickerson estimates, would cost between

$125,000 and $250,000. Council received the recommendations and will wait for more information from staff. The city will be conducting a traffic incident study with the RCMP and ICBC to see how many accidents have happened at the intersection.

Women’s Day recognized International Women’s Day celebrates its 100th anniversary JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
One-hundred years ago women didn’t even have the right to vote, but today we share the same rights as men, yet our responsibilities are ten-fold. Many women work fulltime and then come home to a full-time job of caring for their spouses, children and sometimes even their own aging parents. As International Women’s Janna Francis Day marks its 100th anniversary Tuesday, many are proudly looking back at their accomplishments. But at the same time perhaps feeling a little overwhelmed. “So many of the women in my life are so exhausted because we have so many responsibilities in our life,” said Janna Francis, federal Liberal party candidate. As a result, when women are sought to sit on boards, in political office or other situations, they just aren’t there, because they’re just too busy. Francis believes the hard-working women of today are then also at risk of physical and mental illness. To help women of today, and the future, keep

their sanity, Francis suggests we need to help each other. From basics like meals and childcare to making time to connect and unwind with friends or spouses. To help celebrate the centennial of International Women’s Day and examine the current situation, Francis invites women to a special luncheon Friday. Hedy Fry, Vancouver Centre MP, will help celebrate by speaking about the female voices of influence at the Schubert Centre Friday from 11:30 to 1 p.m. “What have we got to kind of celebrate in women’s influence?” said Francis, adding that Fry will be able to share stories about some of the amazing women she has met in the political, social and general arena. This nonpartisan event will include quotes from Canadian women on the walls along with an ice-breaker event where everyone in attendance will be given a specific voice of influence on their back and have to guess who it is. Registration is required by Tuesday for the event by calling 250-308-9261 or visit www.jannfrancis.liberal.ca. Tickets are $20 and some seats are being sponsored for women who cannot afford to attend. There is also a celebration this morning put on by the Vernon and District Women’s Centre Society at the Schubert Centre. A continental breakfast with door prizes, activities and inspirational speakers will celebrate every day women warriors. Today’s event runs from 10 a.m. until noon, tickets are $7 at the door.

Bye week boosts Vipers Snakes await Smoke Eaters or Warriors

Hockey pundits have long argued the pros and cons of the almighty playoff bye. Those against byes contend they make teams rusty and lethargic. Those for maintain they provide teams with a chance to recoup and regroup. Without doubt, the B.C. Hockey League’s Vernon Vipers are a prime example of the latter argument as they attempt to defend their Fred Page Cup title. They will have a few more bodies in the lineup thanks to their 16-day hiatus, including forward Mike Zalewski, who missed Vernon’s last 14 regular-season games. They also get back defenceman Philip Patenaude. Both players suffered from concussions. “It was a pretty frustrating process, especially with it being my first time missing a long time with an injury and not being able to skate at all,” said Zalewski, who managed 29 points in 46 games. “You’ve got to be careful with head injuries and I think I dealt with it the best I could. I’m just happy to be back on the ice now.” Zalewski began practising last week, including a few conditioning skates later in — Mike the week. “Luckily my head was fine, but my lungs weren’t feeling too good,” grinned Zalewksi, a New Hartford, N.Y. power forward. “Now it’s just a matter of getting my legs back under me

But hopefully all that hard work we’ve put in is going to pay dividends,” said Ferner. Zalewski might have the aptitude to earn an NCAA

Turns out Viper d-man Ryan Renz is Dick Weber-like on the lanes. After having not bowled for a few years, the Castlegar product stepped up and rolled a few 200-plus games. “Ryan Renz had his picture up at the bowling alley from two years ago because he came in second at provincials. That provided some good comedy for the boys, but he was pretty good,” chuckled Zalewski. “We had fun. It was good
for the team. Ferns and Willy have done a good job of making sure we’re focussed and working hard, but also giving us some light stuff to have fun.” The Vipers will meet either the Westside Warriors or Trail Smoke Eaters in the Interior Conference semifinal. Games 1 and 2 go Tuesday and Wednesday night respectively at Wesbild Centre. The Smokies forced the Warriors to a Game 7 with a 4-3 win in Game 6 Friday night at Cominco Arena in Trail. The two teams decided the series Saturday night at Royal LePage Place in West Kelowna.

LONDON, ONT. - Jim Cotter could barely contain his excitement. With the annual Brier banquet, Hot Shots skills competition and opening ceremony behind him, his first game was just an hour or two away. "It's the Brier so obviously we're extremely excited," said the skip of Team British Columbia, shortly after the opening ceremony ended. "We've been here for a couple of days now. There's all kinds of different things to do. I'm excited just talking to you about it all. The atmosphere is Jim Cotter obviously great and anytime you can be at a Brier is just a fantastic feeling." A bonus for the Cotter is that third Ken Maskiewich – who is appearing in his first-ever Brier – made it all the way to the semifinals of Saturday's skills competition. He finished in third place, with Ontario's Richard Hart winning the competition and Kevin Martin of Alberta coming in second. Maskiewich, a Smithers native now living on the Lower Mainland, pocketed $1,000 for his efforts. "It's great to cheer Kenny on and support him," said Cotter, before cautioning that, despite the adrenaline rush of opening day and Maskiewich's surprise performance in the skills competition, he knows from having been at the Brier in 2008 that it is going to be a long week. He and his rinkmates will have to take a level-headed approach in order to be successful. "You've got to be well rested and we've got to eat right and all that," said Cotter, noting a few friends and family members made the trip to London, though most will be watching on television back home. "It's just one of those things where you've just got to make sure you're doing all the right things. There's peaks and valleys. You want to stay out of the valleys as much as you can and ride the wave when things are going well. But we're ready to get going." Between Friday's practice sessions and the Hot Shots event, Cotter said he and his teammates (Maskiewich and front-enders Kevin Folk and Vernon’s Rick Sawatsky) had developed a good feel for the ice at the John Labatt Centre. "The ice here is fantastic. Hans (head ice technician Wuthrich) did a fabulous job. We can hardly wait to get out there and play."

Gannon pushes TRU
N
otes, quotes and anecdotes from the wonderful world of sport as summer slowly approaches... Former Viper stay-at-home defenceman Korey Gannon just finished a four-year college career with the Thompson Rivers University (TRU) WolfPack in his hometown of Kamloops. The towering 24-year-old, who was captain this year, is graduating from the Bachelor of Business Administration program. Another Viper grad – forward Joel Leonard – also played with TRU, earning 11-17-28. Vernon F Lucas Daoust supplied 9-14-23. Gannon praised the Kamloops Collegiate Hockey Society, especially Bob Gainey’s son Steve, coach Kevin Mitchell Lorne Cumming and Shane Zulyniak for making the program tick. Said Cumming on the popular Gannon: “As our team captain Korey Gannon brought a natural leadership presence to our group and made players around him understand the commitment they would have to bring for us to have success. “...Korey Gannon has contributed greatly to our WolfPack culture and has fast-tracked the development of the programs’s ‘in-house’ attitude. We wish Korey all the best in his future.” TRU media director Larry Read said Gannon was one of the first players to sign with the WolfPack when hockey returned to TRU after a 10-year absence last season. The Pack finished second behind SFU this year. Gannon told Read: “TRU hockey has been a positive experience all around. It is an opportunity that I’m glad I didn’t miss and I hope other local players that are making the transition to university after their ‘junior careers’ end will consider the value of getting to play at home in a competitive program.”
BETWEEN THE LINES
Pimm family on their way to Ottawa Former Viper coach Bernie Pimm and family are taking five days, starting Monday, to see the country before arriving in their new home of Ottawa. Pimm, who was an assistant coach with the WHL Kamloops Blazers before working his way up to head coach with the Vipers, has taken a transfer with Kal Tire. He was a highly valuable Rep coach in Vernon minor hockey and will be missed. His wife, Shannon, handled tournaments for the association this year and helped wherever needed.
Their three wonderful kids – Jordyn, Devin and the future prime minister of Canada, Hayden – all played minor hockey here. Bernie has scheduled a breakfast get-together with Viper grad Chay Genoway, a Winnipeg product who’s up for the Hobey Baker Award with the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux.
Major Midget Rockets honour Vernon players The Okanagan Major Midget Rockets named Vernon’s Alex Gillies (19-16-35) as their Top Forward and Gillies and Jordan Burns, also of Vernon, as co-winners of the Top Rookie award. Jedd Soleway, a forward from Vernon, took the Coach’s Award and won the league’s February Player of the Month with 7-7-14. The rookie finished with a team-high 17 helpers to go with 16 goals. He also led the Rockets with 99 penalty minutes. Forwards Mat Lambert, Harlan Orr and Alex Jewell and d-man Nathan Browne were other Vernon products with the Rockets, who have 18 players eligible to return next year.
Di Davies Memorial nominations sought Nominations for the Diane Davies Memorial Award will be accepted until March 20 at the curling club or this office. Di left us in July, 2005 at just 56 after suffering a head injury. The popular city hall employee was blessed with a wonderful sense of humour and a beautiful smile. She made a difference by volunteering in the sporting community, organizing things in curling, slo-pitch and the Brent Gilchrist B.C. Children’s Hospital Charity Golf Classic. To honour Di’s memory, the Diane Davies Memorial Award is presented each year to someone who shared Di’s love of sport and volunteerism. Di’s better half, veteran curler Wayne Laface, will give out a keeper plaque later this month during a ceremony at the curling club.
Special Olympics tourney-banquet on tap There will be four well known NHL celebrities featured at the 2011 Special Olympics Sports Banquet Friday, June 17 in Vernon.

A charity golf spectacular will run June 17-19 on the nine-hole executive course at Spallumcheen. It’s only $80 a team and there are great prizes galore. Call Topping at 545-1287 or visit: www.vernongolfspectacular.com.
St. Denis pulls trick Continued from A21 Trail native Travis St. Denis collected a hat trick to lead the Smoke Eater offence in Game 6. The pucksavvy forward opened the scoring on a first-period powerplay and fired the winner at 13:56 of the third period. Nic DeSousa assisted on each of his goals. Dru Morrison, Tyler French and Brett McKinnon replied for Westside. In Game 5 Thursday night, the host Warriors got a goal and assist each from Alex Grieve and Max French as they pummeled Trail 5-1. Westside outshot Trail 40-26. Said Ferner, before the Vipers’ Thursday practice: “I hope it does go seven, and I hope there are three more overtimes, but I’m sure our guys want to know who they play too. “It (break) was well-timed by our group. We had three or four guys
with bronchitis. The last thing you want to do is go into playoffs banged up and sick.” The other Interior semi is already a lock with the Penticton Vees hosting the Salmon Arm SilverBacks for Games 1 and 2 Tuesday and Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. In Coastal Conference action, Dustin Johnson continued to impress in his return to the Victoria Grizzlies’ lineup, scoring a pair of goals to propel his team to the next round with a 3-2 win over the Nanaimo Clippers in Game 5 Thursday night at Bear Mountain Arena. The Grizz visit the league champion Powell River Kings for Game 1 of a conference semifinal Tuesday night at Hap Parker Arena. The Surrey Eagles and Langley Chiefs start the other Coastal semi Monday in Surrey.
Kaneda sizzles in semifinal UBCO Athletics
The UBC Okanagan Heat advanced to the gold-medal game of the BCCAA women’s basketball championships with a 61-57 semifinal win over the Vancouver Island Mariners Friday afternoon in Abbotsford. The back-court duo of Vernon’s Madison Kaneda, a Fulton Maroon grad, and Jenna Kantz led the Heat offence, each pocketing 15 points to help eliminate the No. 2-ranked Mariners for the second
straight year. The Heat, who are the defending B.C. champions, faced the winner of the second semi between the No. 1 Capilano Blues and the fourth-seeded UNBC Timberwolves in the final Saturday night. Kaneda canned 23 points to earn game MVP as the Heat torched the Langara Falcons 90-57 in seimfinal play Thursday.

The H&L Glass Wolfpack posted a pair of wins in Okanagan Mainline Senior Atom Development Hockey League playoff action Friday at the Sunwave Centre in Salmon Arm. Defenceman Powell Connor scored twice and set up another as the Wolfpack bounced the Winfield Bruins 7-2 Friday night. Connor went coast to coast for the first Vernon goal after the Bruins grabbed an early 2-0 on a pair of goals by Eli Zummack. Connor then drove hard to the net and neatly deflected a pass from the corner by Nick Mitchell for what proved to be the winner 25 seconds into the second period. Connor’s point shot four minutes later was deftly tipped in by Josh Bridge, who left with a head injury after a collision near the Vernon blueline late in the game. The line of Nicholas Cherkowski, Joe Eggert and Mitchell each contributed 1+2 in support of Caden Colmorgen. Devin Pimm went short side on a great shorthanded effort. Earlier Friday, Finnian O’Keefe scored on a scramble with 39 seconds remaining as the Wolfpack clipped the Kamloops Warriors 3-2. Eggert and Cherkowski worked hard to keep the puck deep in the Warriors’ end before O’Keefe beat netminder Nolan Mongey, who made several clutch stops in the game. Cherkowski opened the Wolfpack offence in the slot on a great feed by Eggert early in the first period. Eggert, assisted by Mitchell and Drayden Dougan, and Hunter Klassen for Kamloops, swapped sec-

The Warriors equalized with 2:14 to go when Keenan Gannon stepped out of the penalty box, took a gorgeous stretch pass from Elias Wallace, and went high on Vernon goalie Dylan Blazek. The Valleywood Venom of Vernon got two goals from CJ Storey in a 6-1 crushing of the Kelowna Spartans Friday afternoon. Gavin Fleck, Levi Danbrook, Mika Burns and Caden Danbrook also scored for the Venom, whose goalie Braeden Barnard lost his shutout bid with 53 seconds to play. Levi Danbrook, a left winger, supplied the lone Venom goal as they fell 2-1 to the powerhouse Kamloops Ice Ducks Saturday morning. The game remained tied 1-1 until the Ducks fired the winner with 90 seconds left in regulation. Venom forward Lucas Halvorson played a solid shutdown role in support of Barnard. The Venom faced the Westside Warriors Saturday night. The final goes at noon today.

System fails seniors
aclean’s magazine, in their Feb. 28 issue, featured part two of a six-part series called “System Critical” dealing with our health care system. This particular segment deals with seniors and is called “Don’t seniors deserve better?” Now while I don’t always agree with Maclean’s viewpoints, this article points out the many hazards awaiting seniors if they have to stay in hospital, and the news is disquieting. We all know of the overcrowding and confusion at our own VGH, Pat Black with many more patients in the ER awaiting beds than this hospital was ever designed for. And I hope we all know that the new wing will not be providing any additional beds as it stands now, although two roughed-in floors will be available for beds some time in the-godonly-knows-when future. This problem is not confined to Vernon. The Maclean’s article contends that on any given day in Canada 7,550 acute care beds are filled with people who should be in long term care nursing homes or in rehabilitation. Annually that’s 2.4 million hospital days at $1,000 per day, amounting to 2.4 bil-

lion a year spent on elderly patients and often to their detriment. This article goes on to say that “… the treatment and mismanagement of Canada’s older citizens represents one of the greatest challenges facing the national health care system and that existing models of care for seniors are inadequate, inefficient and frequently dead wrong.” They contend that many of the frail elderly, who suffer from numerous chronic conditions, are admitted to hospital in a crisis and once they get there stay there, tied to machines, consuming high-tech resources to little effect, and end up waiting for a nursing home bed or die. Dr. Mark Nowaczynski, who specializes in treating the frail elderly in their homes in Toronto, contends that elderly patients suffer a five per cent functional decline every day in hospital. That is a 50 per cent decline in 10 days. Dr. John Sloan, the author of A Bitter Pill: How the Medical System is Failing the Elderly, contends that hospitalizing the frail elderly often inflicts harm while giving false comfort to their families. The aggressive use of technology and specialists can literally be overkill, he says, and these patients need something different. He goes on to say that in hospital the frail lose all control and that they need to be allowed to make decisions about what is
going to happen to them. If it wasn’t for the more than two million informal caregivers who now support their elders in staying at home, the system would collapse and the Canadian Institute for Health Information estimates this contribution of informal eldercare to be about $25 billion a year. Yet little support is given to these caregivers. There are no easy answers to this problem and with the upcoming swell in elderly numbers it is apparent that we badly need to change our policies in health care. Common sense tells me it is time to take all those billions spent on hospitalizing the elderly and use it to keep people in their own home if they wish to be there, by providing them with medical assistance and home support and the doctors who will visit them there. It would be a lot cheaper in the long run and a lot healthier for seniors. Now you can take steps toward a better life by signing up for a free six-week Chronic Disease Self-Management workshop online. It is offered by the Centre on Aging at UBC and can help you: understand and learn ways to manage symptoms, and get started making lifestyle changes.

Transit upgrades in works CHRIS LAW Black Press
Bus service in Lake Country will see some improvements over the next several years. Council has received a draft of a transit plan B.C. Transit is working on. Michelle Orfield, B.C. Transit senior transportation planner, says that in reviewing public consultation, most respondents want to increase connections to Kelowna. The draft future transit plan would see route 23 to Kelowna operate on 15-minute service intervals during peak hours and 30-minute intervals during off-peak times. However, Coun. Penny Gambell says route 23 is flawed because riders travelling to Kelowna must transfer at UBC. “Our goal has to be to get to Orchard Park,” she said. “Those buses that leave UBC-O are overcrowded and there are difficulties transferring there.” To address the demand for improved local bus service, the future transit plan proposes a route between Winfield and Oyama via Oyama Road. The route would operate 12 round trips daily during peak hours. Gambell says the money the district spends on transit is limited and it makes sense to hold off on expanding local service until the demand between Winfield and Kelowna has been addressed.
“Our goal has to be to get to Orchard Park.”
Need mortgage financing?
— Penny Gambell
Look no further.
Coun. Bill Scarrow believes it may take time to build up ridership on an Oyama to Winfield route but given time, he sees potential. “Eventually, I think students will start using it and after them I see working people getting on board too,” he said. The bus between Kelowna and Vernon would have four trips added to its daily schedule bringing its total to 12. Orfield will take council’s feedback and prepare a final draft of the plan before returning to council later this year to ask for endorsement.

What do I offer?
Y
ou’ve done the searching for your new home. You have selected the one that is most suitable to you. Now you are faced with the decision on what your initial offering price should be. One hears of some buyers getting many thousands off the asking price. This has happened as a result of the soft market we’ve been enduring since 2008. As prices fell buyers offered lower and lower values. Fear caused this. Jane Field Buyers needed to know they have paid as little as possible, just in case it is worth less in a month or two. A local appraiser I have long respected, feels we declined last year only about a half per cent per month. I’d like to think prices are about to level out, now that spring is soon upon us. As prices are no longer declining rapidly, it is a lot easier to determine the value of a property.

Carnival raffle winners named Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Winter Carnival Society has announced the winners of the jopo raffle. The first prize of a Twin Anchors cruise went to Margaret Grant while Rob Ellis won the second place prize of a Village Green Mall shopping spree. The Vernon Golf and Country Club passes went to Kim Nasipaylco, while Tanya Berthold won the Roots and Blues tickets and the Vernon Vipers vouchers went to Ross Gallant.
You see a sold sign and remember the price that owner was asking, but you never really know what price was actually obtained. You do need to know this information. To have some idea of what the current market value of the property you wish to buy is, you are best to learn what homes like it recently sold for. Your realtor is the obvious source for this information. They can search the real estate board’s data and provide it to you. They can tell you what looks like a typical sale price and what looks like an exception. An example of an exception might be that a seller was overly motivated for some reason. Another example might be that the home was in well below average condition. You get the idea. If you see this information at the outset, you’ll feel sure of yourself. You will know what is a fair price, and what is not. Jane Field works with Re/Max Vernon.

Photographers Camillia Courts (left) and Billie Metz Charlton, with Charlton’s daughter Hudson Charlton, three, are volunteering their skills and time to Helping Hearts, an organization that provides free photo sessions for families of children with life-threatening or disabling conditions.
0ICTURES TELL CHILDREN S STORIES CARA BRADY
Morning Star Staff
Camillia Courts and Billie Metz Charlton have taken thousands of pictures of their own children. Now the friends, both professional photographers, are focusing their cameras to help families with children who have life-altering illnesses. “We’re parents and we know that when families have a sick child that they might put taking pictures on the back burner and then realize later that they have no pictures of their child’s life at that time. You want to remember everything about your child’s life,� said Metz Charlton, who studied at the Western Academy of Photography and has had her own studio since 2005. Courts, who knows Melissa Knowles of Mission and Michelle Regner of Oliver, the photographers who started Helping Hearts as a way to give this special gift to
NEW
2 STOREY, 3 BEDROOM with double garage from $319,800 + HST
families, was asked to be one of the volunteer photographers and recruited Metz Charlton. “Camillia is an amazing self-taught photographer who adds so much to this project,� said Metz Charlton. Helping Hearts has a website where families can apply and if they are accepted, they are assigned a photographer in their area who arranges a session with them. The sessions can be wherever the family wants: at home, studio, outdoors or in the hospital and include family members, siblings and pets if wanted. The free session takes about an hour and the family receives a disc with 20-30 edited images and a free 8x10 print. The family can have the prints reproduced in any way they want and there is no obligation to buy anything. The photographers donate their time for the photo session and editing. Courts has one session set up. “The family was just delighted that
there was something like this for them in the area, the mother told me she cried when she was filling out the application form. They are really excited about it. They’re looking forward to it and so am I,� said Courts, who has been shooting weddings and family portraits since 2009. “I love being creative, and children have such natural energy and smiles. Even if they are sick, there is that light and energy about them.� Metz Charlton is also looking forward to photographing children for Helping Hearts. “I find I get the best photos of children when I provide an environment where they can be themselves and are not posed,� she said. Helping Hearts has grown across the country with more than 100 photographers taking part. For more information or to apply for a photo session email info@helping-hearts.ca or see helping-hearts.ca.

Living a balanced life
“
Always try to be the person your dogs think you are.” Are we loving and attentive to our dogs because they give us unconditional love, and are always ready to be by our side with a friendly tail wag, patient and attentive? Are we sometimes more loving to them because we need someone in our lives who is not demanding a great deal from us other than feeding, walking, care and petting? Kindness is important. When someone is kind they are caring, thoughtful and have a tendency to allow people to be safe in their company. That would rate high on my list of preferred qualities. I’m wondering how many of us get caught up in the business of our daily lives and take advantage of those people who love us by letting our attention slip, or emotions roll? We can control our emotions or feelings in some areas and then not in another, yet if we can in one, we may be able to in both. Years ago a man in an anger management group said he could control his anger at work, not at home, and the fellow beside him said he could at home, and not at work. The challenge for both was to develop the skills to manage in all scenarios. The late great Dr. David Freeman said that everyone needs a safe place to be crazy. Safe being most important — totally free of
violence and ridicule. I know there are times where I have prioritized others over my family and regret it as I won’t have that time again. And yet it is important for me to have the time with my work, friends and interests that are meaningful to me. I admit to sometimes being envious of moms who have been able to be at home with their children when they were younger and school age as well. Being able to share more with their children as well as having some time for themselves while kids were in school, respecting of course all the work that gets done to manage a family. At the same time I found work to be very important intellectually, socially and of course the big one: financially. Life would have been very different
for our family if I had not worked. I learned to choose not to wallow in the guilt or envy of being a parent who worked outside the home. We are very grateful for the tremendous day Michele Blais care support and afterschool care from our official caregivers and those friends who were very helpful to us. As parents who work outside the home, and mostly this is from the mommy’s perspective, there is a lot of pressure, and I know mothers who have chosen to be at home feel strong pressure as well. Many of us invested in our educations and training and have strong interests in our careers and want to be balancing both family life, careers, personal interests, education, etc. I really believe I was a better mother because
THE WAY I SEE IT
I worked in my chosen careers. My mom was the same. I was more fortunate to be able to have employers who were supportive of the needs of parents and were flexible with schedules and recognizing aspects like how important it is for a child to see their parent at their school events, or games. My sons have often shared how they felt comforted and encouraged by seeing me in the crowd at concerts or sporting event. They also accepted my crying in public when they were in plays, or concerts, bursting with pride and missing their dad so much. My gratitude to my employers was paid back through my hard work and commitment. What I would share with the boys when they were young is that I have many hats, the mommy hat being the most important, and any day I may wear my work hat, leader
Answers, Options
hat, volunteer hat, friend, sister, daughter or student hat, and sometimes I am balancing them all on top of each other, safely under the umbrella of Motherhood. They are all important to me and reflect what is great about being a human being. Life — work — balance.

epression. Winston Churchill called it the “black dog.” “Hell” is a common description for those who experience it. “If there is a hell upon earth, it is to be found in a melancholy heart,” observed Robert Burton in the 1600s. The poet Robert Lowell wrote, “I myself am hell.” John of the Cross called it “the dark night of the soul.” Counselor and author Edward Welch writes, “The images are dark and evocative. Desperately alone, doom, black holes, emptiness.” Those in deep depression believe that no one has experienced what they have or are as miserable as they are. They feel alone and isolated. Dave Bootsma Some come to the point where they don’t want to live anymore. Not only can they no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel, they don’t believe the tunnel ever ends. Depression may be brought on by experiencing a significant loss, stress, frustration or an outlook on life that sees things as meaningless, dull or futile. Or it may be biologically or medically related. Ultimately depression has to do with a sense of hopelessness, helplessness, sadness. Depression, to some degree, is inevitable in a fallen world. It is about the world and life being not all that it should be and what you long for it to be. What can be done about it? If it is strictly physiologically caused, it may be simply a matter of getting some medication, or changing your diet or getting rest or exercise. For many, however, it is not that simple. The fact is, depression is complex. When depressed, ask yourself the question, “Why am I depressed?” and you will invariably find that you have made far too big of a deal of
KEEPIN' THE FAITH
something or someone. Depression speaks. It says things like: “no one cares;” “all is lost;” “it is hopeless;” “there is nothing worth living for;” “I am worthless;” “They would be better off without me.” You need to ask yourself, is this really the case, or is this simply how my feelings are interpreting reality? Yes, depression does speak, but it tells lies! It distorts reality. You also need to be careful not to allow depression to dictate how you live. At the present you may not be able to change how you feel, but you can take charge of your feelings. This means that you do things that you may not feel like doing simply because they are the right and good things to do (go to work, play with your kids, be kind to your spouse and co-workers). “Love your neighbour as yourself” and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” are not the right things to do when you feel like it, but always. Depression feels like hopelessness. The question is, what are you placing your hope in? What is so valuable that you have no joy now that it is lost (or won’t be attained)? What have you been looking at to determine your worth and purpose in life? For some it is their marriage, for others it is their career or approval or success. The fact is, if you have placed your hope in any of these then indeed, you have good cause for depression. They will all disappoint. As counselor Paul Tripp writes, “If your hope disappoints, it is the wrong kind of hope.” What this means then, is that in order to overcome depression you have to have an unshakeable basis to anchor your hope in. For the Christian it is Easter: Jesus Christ living the live we couldn’t live, dying the death we should have died, and rising from the dead in order to give life to those who believe. This is a hope that swallows up all disappointment and cannot be lost. Dave Bootsma is a professional counselor. He can be reached at 558-5730 or newbeginnings@telus.net.

Didn’t have a chance to catch many of the year’s Oscar nominated films? No worries, the Vernon Film Society is bringing in both award-winning, nominated and other Canadian and international films for its 17th annual Vernon International Film Festival. The 11 films are once again being provided by the Film Circuit, a division of the Toronto International Film Festival, and will all be shown at the Town Cinema. The festival opens at 5 p.m. Friday, March 11 with U.K.Canada production Nowhere Boy, which follows John Lennon’s late teen years in Liverpool just before he found fame with The Beatles. The film features stunning performances by Kristin Scott Thomas (I’ve Loved You So Long) as Lennon’s indomitable aunt Mimi, and Annie-Marie Duff (The Last Station) as his profoundly unreliable mother Julia. Newcomer Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) plays Lennon as an angry and rebellious young man, desperate for approval and affection, and convinced of his own genius. (Nowhere Boy will screen again on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.) On Friday at 7:30 p.m. is Canadian director Carl Bessai’s Fathers & Sons, winner of the Vancouver Film Critics Circle’s best B.C. film award for 2010. The follow-up to his hugely successful 2008 feature Mothers and Daughters, Bessai continues his acute exploration of family dynamics in this acerbic celebration of the father-son bond. Germany’s Soul Kitchen, Saturday at 5 p.m., is a looselimbed house party of a comedy
SONY PICTURE CLASSICS/SEBASTIAN MLYNARSKI
Oscar nominated Canadian film Incendies, above, and Winter’s Bone, featuring Jennifer Lawrence, below, nominated for best actress, are two of 11 films showing during the 17th annual Vernon International Film Festival, Friday, March 11 to Thursday, March 17 at the Town Cinema.
and an audience favourite at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. The film follows Zinos Kazantzakis (Adam Bousdoukos), the proprietor of Soul Kitchen, a vast warehouse diner restaurant in a scruffy neighborhood of Hamburg where the food might be spectacularly bad, but it’s edible. Film Circuit favourite Nigel Cole (Saving Grace, Calendar Girls) directs a supremely talented ensemble cast led by Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky) in U.K. film Made in Dagenham. A dramatization of the 1968 strike at Britain’s Ford Dagenham car plant where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination, the film screens Sunday, March 13 at 5 p.m. and Monday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m. Locals will be able to catch Jennifer Lawrence’s best actress Oscar-nominated turn as a teenager trying to raise her poor family in the Ozarks in Winter’s Bone, showing March
13 at 7:30 p.m. To save her family home, Lawrence’s character goes on a search for her meth cooking father (John Hawkins, also nominated for best supporting actor) to devastating results. New York auteur Woody Allen returns to London for You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, showing March 14 at 5 p.m. The beautifully realized ensemble piece affectionately skewers the foibles and fears of a group of individuals, each caught up in their own life crises. Tuesday, March 15 at 5 p.m., The Way Back is an epic set in Stalin’s Russia, where during a nighttime blizzard, seven prisoners escape a Soviet Gulag in 1940. Although free, the men’s lives remain at risk as they make their impending trek to safety, defying any reasonable chance of success across an unforgiving landscape. Documentary The Tillman Story is finally coming to the local screen March 15 at 7:30 p.m. A riveting account of the U.S. Army’s misrepresentation of facts surrounding the 2004 combat death of Corp. Pat Tillman in Afghanistan, The Tillman Story is a sobering examination of one family’s dogged search for answers. Fans of boxing, but more importantly, good acting, will want to check out The Fighter, which follows real-life half-
brothers Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund, Wednesday, March 16 at 5 p.m. The film features Oscar winning roles for best supporting actor, Christian Bale as Eklund, who was once known as “The Pride of Lowell�, but who hits hard times while his brother, Micky, is on the rise, and actress Melissa Leo as the brothers’ tough-as-nails mother. Also screening March 16 at 7:30 p.m. is House of Branching Love, which follows the breakup of a 30-something professional couple. Think of it as Finland’s version of Blue Valentine, but with ample proof that there’s nothing funnier, or scarier, than matters of the heart. The festival wraps up Thursday, March 17 at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. with Quebec director Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar nominated film for best foreign language feature, Incendies. The film follows two siblings as they attempt to unravel the mystery of their mother’s life in Lebanon. Set against the bloody Lebanese civil war, the film is expertly told through the use of chapters and flashbacks. Advance tickets for individual films ($7) and passes ($30 for five films) are now on sale at the Town Cinema and The Bean Scene. Pass holders should be in the theatre at least 15 minutes before the film starts to guarantee a seat. Doors open at 4:15 p.m. each day of the festival.

he theatre genre of light musical comedy started in the 1800s as an alternative to grand (usually tragic) opera. It was offered (as it is now) as wholesome family entertainment. As a teenager when I was taken to these shows I considered them bland, and I still do. However beautifully written and performed, these are not the plays that become successful movies. The family shows that do succeed with audiences are the fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. They are dark and edgy. Good is always mightily in conflict with evil, and Jim Elderton although these stories depict things that some think children shouldn’t see, if the kids are taken to see them, they love it. The latest offering by Asparagus Community Theatre, Chickens by Canadian playwright Lucia Frangione, is of that former variety. Chickens was first produced when Frangione was a student at Rosebud School of the Arts in Alberta. This is a religious school, and the plays she writes are a personal quest for the spirit she calls “the beloved.â€? In these plays her search for the divine usually takes a peculiar and hilarious twist. Chickens highlights the eternal question: which came first, the chicken or the egg? The play’s main characters are a farming couple –– Liza (Joan Levitt Badke) and Paul (Doug Fairweather). On the verge of bankruptcy, Paul decides to raise exotic chickens. And the problems centering around egg fertilization become a metaphor for their lives. The four chicken characters are well realized, and the actors truly do become these odd clucking creatures with the jerky head movements we all recognise. Wisely, the director (Julie Dorsey) chose not to give them chicken costumes as they were already believable as chickens, including Clarissa Seutter as Butterball (“I’m just an old-fashioned birdâ€?), Rory White as His Nibs (the nerdy senior rooster), Mandy Penner as Stewer (the older bird), and Rick Seutter as the new rockin’ rooster Alfonso (in gold lamĂŠ). All four also played numerous human roles, and they did brilliant character changes with splitsecond timing. The dialogue afforded much fun: “You don’t understand the primeval emotions of an ovulating bird!â€? wailed Butterball. And excellent use was made of chicken lingo (“You’ve got quite a set of drumsticks!â€? and “I’ve got the Grade-A Blues!â€? and the ultimate chicken come-on: “I feel that we’re birds of a feather!â€?) And Alfonso had this advice for His Nibs: “There’s only one rule about hens – when they’re laying an egg, get the hell out of the way!â€?

With eyes that wander incessantly, the two frustrate their wives (Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate) to the point that they seek advice from pal, Joy Behar. I’m not kidding… it’s Joy Behar. She encourages the girls to give their mates a week off from marriage, with the ultimate goal of the guys coming to the sad realization that they’re not as irresistible to the ladies as
Plus there are ominous references to fast food chicken: “I keep dreaming of an old man with a white goatee beard!” Musicians Allen and George Bensmiller were on stage throughout, providing delightful accompaniment for the songs. All six actors sang – a challenge for any community theatre cast. They were well received by the opening night audience, however, Mandy Penner was exceptional. We had doo-wop, four-part harmony, and a hilarious chicken tango. But the show stopper was the rooster duet, warbling both Beethoven and Mozart.

falls a wee bit short in both areas. Yes, Hall Pass is a nutty comedy, but as already noted, it just doesn’t have the legs to last. After the first hour –– a relatively amusing and engaging 60 minutes –– you’re not overly eager to hang out with these guys any longer. At least it’s fun while it lasts. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

they might think. A plate of pot brownies, some potty humour in a golf course sand trap, an embarrassing arrest –– let’s say it’s an intimate-yet-solo adventure in a mini-van –– and an insane exboyfriend later, and Hall Pass is hoping that the ride is zany and reckless enough to cater to The Hangover crowd, yet smart enough to maintain some heart. It’s a good effort, but

Last spring the Monashee Chamber Choir and Orchestra performed Frederic Handel’s Dixit Dominus with such success, members thought it was time for them to do the composer’s mighty English oratorio, The Messiah. Usually heard around Christmas, locals will get a chance to hear the masterpiece performed at St. John’s Lutheran Church Saturday, March 12. The choir and orchestra will combine to perform The Messiah in the style in which it was first presented at Easter time in Dublin, circa 1742, said conductor Cees Kooyman, who calls Vernon home. “The choir and orchestra will be the same size as in Dublin, and (I) am eager to do the work,” said Kooyman. “The soloists, as Handel insisted, will be singing with the choir and will all be local artists.” The orchestra will
feature the same strings players from the Dixit Dominus performance, with additional harpsichord, bassoon, trumpet, and tympani players, he added. The choir and orchestra performs Handel’s

Fulton students direct one-act plays Morning Star Staff
Clarence Fulton secondary students have been knocking back the hours in preparation for their one-act festival, which opens this week. The school is showcasing four different and individually enticing plays directed by its drama students. “Support the Clarence Fulton actors and actresses by coming down and having a great time,” said Fulton drama teacher Deanne Collinson. “We always
appreciate the energy of our wonderful community audience that comes out. There’s always a large variety of people of all ages because our plays are meant to be enjoyed by the whole family.” This year’s one-acts include The Edward House, directed by student Matthew Marioni, The Butcher, The Lawyer, and The Psychosis Breaker by Sean Thomson, A Match Made in Heaven by Katie Annand, and
Aluminum Days by Eric Harper. The Edward House is a slightly humorous murder mystery that will have you biting your nails and wondering what happens next, said Marioni. “It’s murder, mystery, money madness,” he said. The Butcher, The Lawyer, and The Psychosis Breaker is a dramatic, eventful, and mysterious play. “It’s a dark play dealing with the demise of
an intellectual,” said Thomson. A Match Made in Heaven is a comedy with a bit of philosophy about finding the right mate, and in a very unexpected location. “It’s a funny light comedy about a woman searching for a husband. It’s for the whole family,” said Annand. Aluminum Days is a

Soul sisters sing for Women’s Day Morning Star Staff
From Rosa Parks to Nellie McClung, women have come along way since the inaugural International Women’s Day a century ago. To mark the 100th anniversary of the day that honours all women, local singer/songwriter Tanya Lipscomb has put together a special concert to aid women in need. The event takes place at the Okanagan Centre for Spiritual Living Tuesday. Lipscomb will be joined by fellow artists Kailee Duggan and Sherrie Erickson to raise awareness and money for the Vernon Transition House. “There will be a donation box at the door and also a box for donations of women’s and children’s gently-used clean clothing,” said Lipscomb, who currently hails from Vernon. The mother of three, who has been playing

music since she was three years old, is an awardwinning songwriter who writes about social justice, heartbreak, love, family life, good times and joy. A musical chameleon, Lipscomb’s songs are influenced by the blues, jazz, folk, rock, funk and country. Duggan, from Vernon, is a 16-year-old singing sensation who won second place in last year’s Our Kids Have Talent. “She has captivated audiences up and down the Okanagan with her contemporary folk style, guitar playing and strong voice,” said Lipscomb.
Erickson is a mother of two and a gifted singer/songwriter who sings about the trials and tribulations of life and love. “Her honest and poignant style of writing places her up there with John Prine and Leonard Cohen,” said Lipscomb. “She is a pleasure to listen to and her style is country, folk, adult contemporary.” The 100th International Women’s Day celebration at the Centre for Spiritual Living, 2913, 29th Ave., starts Tuesday at 7 p.m. with a $10 suggested donation at the door.

IAN JOHNSTONE Diabetes is affecting more Canadians every year. Twenty Canadians are diagnosed with diabetes every day but the real scary statistic is that there are 700,000 people in Canada who have the disease but have not yet been diagnosed. If you have a family history of diabetes or are overweight, have high blood pressure and high cholesterol, get checked for diabetes. It could save you many health complications in the future. And while we are talking about diabetes, it’s important to note that 20% of all diabetes-related admissions to hospital are due to foot complications. If you experience any foot numbness, tingling, pain or swelling or if there are sores that don’t heal, see your doctor. Make foot-checking part of your daily routine. Poor bone density (osteoporosis) affects men as well as women. Men who smoke, abuse alcohol or lead a sedentary life have a greater chance of having bone fractures. Bone-density tests are recommended in men and women 65 years and older. The dietitians of Canada celebrate Nutrition this month. This year’s theme is Celebrate food … from field to table. Eating nutritiously has a huge bearing on lowering our risk of many diseases. It’s the right thing to do. This week is Pharmacy Awareness Week, a time when pharmacists make everyone aware of the services they provide and our role in your overall health care. One of our principal jobs is education in all matters pertaining to medications and health. Tap into the knowledge of our professional pharmacists soon.

Gatzke Farm Market will be the venue as the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce hosts this year’s Valley Wide Business after Hours. The event goes May 12, 5 to 7:30 p.m., and will involve chambers from Osoyoos to Vernon. Attendance this year is anticipated to be in excess of 500 people, and the theme is “Fresh from the Farm” to reflect the agricultural history of Lake Country. “This is such a great event, we’re thrilled to host the trade show and welcome the Valley chambers to our community in May,” said Bill Clark, Lake Country chamber president. “We look forward to it every year and our members who attend tell us it’s a terrific way to meet new business people from throughout the valley and learn about new opportunities.” The annual Valley Wide event features a trade show with more than 50 participants. Ticket and vendor information is available at chamber offices throughout the valley.
Enderby chamber approaches city Over the past year, the Enderby Chamber of Commerce has been involved in a variety of economic development initiatives. These include promoting a Wood First policy, encouraging environmentally progressive property assessments, and advocating for a strong transportation infrastructure. As a membership-driven organization, these economic development priorities originate from its members. The chamber recently submitted a letter to the City of Enderby outlining its economic development priorities. Tate Bengtson They will plan to communicate similar information to other levels of government. A variety of priorities have been identified involving many aspects of the local economy, including transportation infrastructure, industrial and commercial land use, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions, downtown revitalization, river stewardship and recycling. “Our focus on building a progressive economic climate which enhances the prosperity of our business community has identified several areas with tremendous opportunity for innovation and cooperation with government,” said Tate Bengtson, Enderby chamber executive director. “Local businesses from all sectors are coming to us with vision, aspiration and practical recommendations. Our letter to council is intended to reaffirm our positions, continue our dialogue and deepen our cooperation with the City of Enderby on shared goals. “I have been pleased with council’s ongoing receptiveness to the needs and ideas of the local business community.”

Linda Topf 's welldressed dolls were always the envy of all her friends. "I got my first little sewing machine when I was six and made clothes for my Barbies and Trolls. When I got into junior high school and high school, I took all of the sewing classes I could and made my own clothes. I've taken and taught sewing classes whenever I could ever since," she said. When her fabric and supplies overflowed her sewing room at home, she decided to open a business to share her expertise and enthusiasm. Vernon Fashion Studio has been open in the Alpine Centre since January with sewing classes for all ages, custom sewing and pattern making, wardrobe consulting and alterations. Topf also has a small collection of her own designs available. "I think everybody needs to learn to sew, to do buttons and hems if nothing else. I think shows like Project Runway have made people aware of how they can use their own creativity to express themselves through clothes," said Topf, originally from the U.S., who moved to Vernon with her husband Mike Topf, who grew up in Vernon, in 2005. In her beginning sewing classes, students learn how to make a pair of pyjama pants (sewing machines provided); in interme-

Linda Topf is putting her life-long love of sewing to use as the owner of Vernon Fashion Studio. diate classes, students learn more sewing techniques to work on a piece of clothing of their choice. She also offers one-on-one classes and motherdaughter classes. Topf likes the open or PIG (Projects In Grocery sacks) where people bring in whatever is in the back of the closet that they would like to finish. "I think the strangest thing anyone ever brought was a box of neckties she wanted to make into skirts and vests. There is a renewed interest in sewing now because people might not be buying as many new clothes and they want to know how to make their own clothes or restyle what they have," she said.
"I do closet makeovers where I go in and help women sort through the good stuff and get rid of the bad stuff, which can be really hard for some people, but you feel better once it is done." Topf 's love of sewing seems to be catching. Her son sewed his own and his groomsmen's outfits for his medieval-theme wedding and her husband is in one of her sewing classes. "Children can start to learn to sew about age eight, although some of them have the motor skills to do it younger. And, of course, you can learn later if you missed it in school or at home. Sewing is something you can do all your life. People find it
can be a very relaxing change from work," said Topf. She admits to being obsessed with fabric. "When I see a new piece, I wonder what I can do with it, how I can make it look its best, what pattern will work with it. There are so many possibilities. I get ideas and inspiration everywhere – from magazines, clothing I've loved in the past, places I've lived, like Spain and Japan, the colours and architectural details. You can never have too much fabric." She is working on her Red Boa Design original pieces for fall, centering on a detailed black tunic with coordinating pieces. Vernon Fashion Studio is set up with

Topf has classes ongoing and is planning one-day and longer summer camps for all ages on beginner sewing, quilting and fashion accessories. "I'm doing things I like to do and I hope other people will like them, too. People tell me that when they take the classes, they concentrate on what they are doing and forget everything else and come away refreshed because they've had that time for themselves. That's just how I feel about everything to do with sewing."

NEW ZEALAND - Before visiting New Zealand my thoughts centred on beautiful scenery, sheep, good weather and a rugby mad country. After visiting the country, I can now say with authority that New Zealand is indeed very picturesque, and a few photos from Lake Tekapo remain favourites, with mountains in the background and a foreshore lined with Russell lupines. Without even going to the country you are probably aware of the dominance in world rugby standings of the New Zealand All Blacks. What you may not know is that New Zealand will host the Rugby World Cup in 2011, with the first game being played Sept. 9. It might be said that rugby is to New Zealand, what hockey is to Canada. It is played throughout the entire country and national players and coaches are well known. The entire country is currently abuzz with excitement as it prepares to host the world and show what New Zealand is all about. There will a focus on Maori culture, the wines of New Zealand, the remarkable and varied scenery, the food and multicultural aspects of the country. Many of us probably think of sheep when we think New Zealand and justifiably so. According to my most reliable sources of information, local bus drivers and tour operators, New Zealand sheep numbers are down from a high of 70 million to 50 million. This still translates to a dozen sheep per person. Regions specialize in different varieties, with Merino producing a very high grade wool. What I didn’t realize before visiting New Zealand was that the length of the two islands is 1,600 kilometres, roughly three times the length of Vancouver

Tax News
from Dean Chapple at H&R Block Medical expenses can be costly especially if you have to travel for treatment. The good news is that these expenses can often be deductible on your tax return and you may also qualify for the refundable medical credit. The most common deductions are prescription medications. Over the counter purchases are not generally deductible unless they apply to certain qualifying conditions such as incontinence. The cost of dental work, glasses, eye tests, chiropractic, massage therapy treatments, physio, chelation etc. are considered qualifying expenses for medical purposes If you are unable to receive medical treatment close to home and you travel 40kms or more one way for Treatment then the cost of travel can be deducted. If you travel 80 kms or more one way the cost of meals and lodging can also be deducted. CRA provides a simplified method for claiming travel expenses which means that you do not need to keep your gas and meal receipts. However, you will need proof that you did actually travel for medical reasons. This can be in the form of a letter from the specialist, appointment card etc. TOM SKINNER PHOTO
Milford Sound, which is a fjord, is known as the eighth wonder of the world. Island. Visiting New Zealand for three weeks and trying to do everything simply won’t work, and once you have accepted the fact that the islands are bigger than you thought, you need to make choices. By listening to friends, locals, and visitors and tapping into the web, you can make some smart choices. Before you travel there, you need to know one thing. There is a big difference
between an i-site travel information office and a travel information office. Both have a similar distinctive italicized “i”, but the i-site is a function of the New Zealand government’s branch of tourism and the other information sites are operated in conjunction with tour companies. Both do a very good job, but the i-site will offer a wider variety of tours.

Travel
Adventure provides value Continued from previous page Travelling in New Zealand is favourable for Canadians because of the strength of the Canadian dollar. Three hundred New Zealand dollars will cost you approximately $240 Canadian. Accommodation prices are comparable to Canada, and a savvy traveller can save some big dollars by booking online in advance. Our trip began in November with a threehour flight from Sydney, Australia, referred affectionately to as “across the ditch.” We flew into Queenstown, a town of 10,000 on the South Island. It is referred to as the adventure capital of New Zealand. Think adventure like bungee jumping or a trip in a high-speed jet boat within inches of the walls of a canyon. A four-hour bus ride will take you to Milford Sound, which is a world famous fjiord, referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World. It is indeed spectacular, and we saw Fjiordland penguins, fur seals and waterfalls that held us in awe. Midway between Queenstown and Christchurch is spectacular Lake Tekapo, home to the Good Shepherd Church and an incredible display of Russell lupines in blues, purples, orange and pink hues. Hands down this was our favourite sight. Christchurch, situated on the east coast of the South Island has been referred to as “more British than Britain.” The journey from
TOM SKINNER PHOTO
A tired penguin takes a break on the ice in New Zealand. Christchurch to Greymouth, via the Tranzalpine, was smooth and efficient. There is extremely good communication between the train and bus system, which enabled the bus to wait for the train which was late. We then boarded a bus for the trip to Nelson. That allowed us an opportunity to stop and see the blowholes and pancake rocks in Paparoa National Park. The scenery along the coast was amazing. The road hugged the coastline, and for the first time on the trip, we wished we had more time and a car to explore at our leisure. From Nelson, we travelled to Picton and boarded the ferry for a three-hour ride to Wellington. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand, and in the short time we were there, I was able to climb to the top of Mt. Victoria for panaoramic shots of the city. The most difficult
decision of the day was made trying to choose between various ethnic restaurants. Thai won out, and the experience was very enjoyable. Travelling from Wellington to Auckland, aboard the Overlander, was a pleasant journey covering 680 kilometres in 12 hours. The opportunity to get up and move around and take pictures from the observation car and rail platforms made the time pass quickly. The journey featured commentary and highlights including the spectacular engineering marvel called the Raurimu Spiral. Auckland is a large modern multicultural city of 1.4 million people and boasts the Sky Tower, which is the highest man made structure in the southern hemisphere. The city has an efficient bus and train system, plenty of opportunities for ferry rides in, across, and around the harbour.

Final Notice: Hired Equipment Registration Okanagan Shuswap District The Okanagan Shuswap District of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is creating its list of registered Equipment for Hire for the fiscal year of 2011/2012, which begins April 1, 2011.

All individuals or companies registered in 2010 will have received invitations by mail to re-register hired equipment for 2011. If you have new equipment to be added to your profile, you can register online at www.bcbid.ca or contact the District Office in Kelowna to obtain the appropriate forms. Any individuals who were not registered in 2009/2010, but wish to have equipment listed are hereby invited to contact the District Office, either in person or by phone, to obtain the appropriate registration forms. Note that while you do not need to have Commercial (Comprehensive) General Liability Insurance, or up-to-date WorkSafe BC coverage to register, you will have to meet these requirements prior to working on any ministry projects. Only owned or lease-to-own equipment is eligible for registration. Equipment may only be registered in one area in any given year. Seniority is not transferable from area to area.

The harbour itself, is a blend of working port, fish market, shops and restaurants. In addition, there are sailboat cruises and ferry rides to Devonport and the island of Waiheke, well known for its vineyards and beaches. One highlight for this couple included a trip to Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World and live penguin enclosure, featuring king and gentoo penguins.
Sights and sounds not to miss include a visit to the Auckland Museum. Believe me when I say this is a must do. The Maori cultural demonstration includes an explanation of the haka, and also includes singing and dancing featuring the poi dance. Poi is a decorative ball on a flax string used by the Maori to develop strength and flexibility, and to develop handeye co-ordination. The dancing performance featured both short and long poi swung in synchronized rhythmic patterns. Would we go back? In a heartbeat. We missed Akaroa, the French village close to Christchurch, and we would like to explore the Coromandel Peninsula, Abel Tasman National Park, and possibly Stewart Island at the bottom tip of the South Island. We needed more time. What would we have left out? Absolutely nothing. Tom Skinner is a photographer and retired educator who lives in Coldstream.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Adopting a negative attitude is always selfdefeating, so instead of focusing on all the reasons why you can’t do something, find reasons why you’re the perfect one to do it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It’ll work against you to think that you have to buy someone’s goodwill with a favor or some perks. People who are truly your friends will like you for who you are, warts and all. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You should keep noncontributing individuals out of your affairs and on the sidelines, especially if you’re engaged in an important project. Going it alone will keep trouble at a minimum. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It isn’t likely that you’ll be too productive if your methods aren’t properly organized. There’s a good chance that you could allow nonessential activities to prohibit you from achieving your goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try to be prudent when it comes to handling your funds, especially if you go shopping. Making foolish and/or wasteful purchases may please you for the moment, but they will punish you down the line. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Do not force someone on your mate whom you know for a fact s/ he doesn’t enjoy having around. Everyone will end up feeling ill at ease,
including you, which will make for a major bummer. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Your critical faculties will be finely tuned, but whether or not this is an asset will depend upon how you apply them. Use them to find fault and they’ll work against you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Having someone over for a pleasant repast could turn out to be a downer if this person fails to show any appreciation of your invitation. Be more selective in your choice of guests. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Bickering within the household could be eliminated if you’re not too insistent that everyone marches to the beat of your bongo. Let each person boogie to his/her own jam. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Generally, you’re a rather pleasant person who is easy to get along with, but for reasons known only to you, you could at times step out of character and find fault with everything.

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

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Lawrence J. Peters, an educator and “hierarchiologistâ€? who died in 1990, said, “Each scientiďŹ c discovery increases man’s ability to predict the consequences of his actions and thus his ability to control future events.â€? Each bridge bid increases a player’s ability to predict a future event -the ďŹ nal contract. We have been looking at slam-going controlbids (cue-bids). Why would a player make a control-bid? Usually he has a hand that is unsuitable for Blackwood. Perhaps he has two immediate losers in an unbid side suit, or he has a void. In the ďŹ rst instance, if his partner
control-bids in that unguarded side suit, often Blackwood will follow -as in this deal. North’s response of two no-trump is the Jacoby Forcing Raise, promising four-plus hearts and game-forcing values. South’s three-heart rebid shows 16-plus points without a good ďŹ ve-card side suit or a singleton or void. North, not ashamed of his hand, control-bids four diamonds. This allows South to take control with Blackwood before bidding six hearts. After West leads the spade queen, the contract ďŹ rst appears to depend upon one out of two club ďŹ nesses. But whenever you face this position, try to engineer an endplay.
Win the ďŹ rst trick with your spade ace, draw trumps, and cash your pointed-suit winners ending in the dummy. Then play a club to your 10. West wins with his jack, but must either lead back into your club acequeen tenace or concede a ruff-and-sluff.
It’s the service after the sale that counts. 2901 - 27th Street, Vernon, BC (Beside the Court House) email: jbjcomputers@shaw.ca

Anne Woronchak (nee Farynuk)
Anne Woronchak passed away peacefully at The Gateby in Vernon on Sunday, February 27, 2011 at the age of 87 years. Anne was predeceased by her loving husband of 49 years Fred in 1999; her parents; and all her siblings Mike Farynuk of Enderby, John of Lower Mainland, Henry of Vernon, and Mary of Enderby. Anne is survived by her two children Melvin Woronchak and Lorene Woronchak, both of Armstrong; and several nieces and nephews. Anne was born in Abernathy SK, moving to the Enderby area when she was young. She married her childhood sweetheart, Fred in 1950 and moved to Oyama where Fred worked in the fruit growing industry, where their children fondly remember growing up. The family enjoyed the beauty of the fruit trees, swimming in the lakes, and playing in the school playground under the watchful eye of their attentive mother. In 1968, Anne moved with her family to their farm in the Spallumcheen area of Armstrong. She took pride in her garden, the farm and helping to provide for her family. Anne was a devoted wife and mother. She will be lovingly missed for her gentle, kind and patient spirit. Anne’s smile and laughter could light up any room. She was a natural artist, musician and poet. Her many paintings and quilts will be cherished by her children and all those fortunate to have received. Now, ¿nally, she is at rest. Celebration of Life to be held Wednesday March 9, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. at the Chapel of Personal Alternative Funeral Services (2980 Smith Drive, Armstrong BC).

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father and grandfather Gordon, in Vernon. Gordon was born in Gersau, Switzerland, the eldest son of Gottfried and Agnes Camenzind, and the Ă€rst of eleven children. Gordon served in the Swiss Army during the Second World War. He trained as a Chef in Switzerland and immigrated to Canada in 1948 to work for Canadian PaciĂ€c Hotels. Gordon was a chef in numerous CP Hotels across Canada before settling in Vancouver in 1953. It was in Vancouver that he met his wife, Joyce Read. They were married in 1954 and moved to Vernon shortly thereafter, where they owned a small corner store. In 1956 they purchased a farm in Coldstream and that same year, their only son, Bill was born. Gordon worked the farm until 1973 and then retired farming to return to his profession as a sous chef at the Capri Hotel in Kelowna. A few years later he worked as a sous chef at the Village Green in Vernon. In 1986, Gordon hung up his professional chef¡s hat and returned to hobby farming. He was predeceased by his wife, Joyce, in December of 1996. In the year 2000, Gordon sold his farm and moved into Coldstream Meadows. He enjoyed his daily “half-a-cigarâ€? walks. His other pleasures were reading, watching boxing, and listening to classical music. Over the years Gordon made a number of trips back to Switzerland, including a trip in 1998 with his son Bill, and his grandsons, Alex and Ross. In the summer of 2008 Gordon moved into Creekside Landing where he resided until his passing. Gordon is survived by his son, Bill (Deb), and his grandsons, Alex and Ross, as well as four siblings and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews in Switzerland. A graveside remembrance of Gordon¡s life will be held at the Coldstream Cemetery on Saturday, March 12th, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. Arrangements will be made through the Vernon Funeral Home.
