Flames consume RV JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
BXSL FIRE RESCUE PHOTO
Flames consume a motorhome on Tillicum Road Sunday evening. A woman, who was inside at the time, escaped the blaze.
A BX resident narrowly escaped a fire in a motorhome Sunday evening. Firefighters were called to a Tillicum Road home shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday, where upon arrival, they witnessed flames roaring from an approximately 25-foot motorhome. “A woman was inside working on it and noticed something behind her,” said BX-Swan Lake Fire Rescue chief Bill Wacey. “She looked up in the overhead bunk and there was a large amount of flames. “She got out just in time.” The fire spread to a row of cedar hedges, but crews stopped the blaze from causing any further damage. “Probably seven or eight trees went up, along with the trailer,” said Wacey. While he could not confirm that it was the cause of the fire, Wacey said there was a heater in the overhead bunk at the time of the blaze. The motorhome was approximately five to 10 years old and Wacey estimates the damage to be in the range of $35,000 to $40,000. The incident is now being investigated by ICBC. The motorhome fire followed a busy day for crews, who had recently returned from a blaze at a Dixon Dam Road house. Firefighters purposely lit the house on fire for training.

Okanagan Spirits claims top titles Morning Star Staff
A Vernon distillery is among the best in the world. Okanagan Spirits received the distillery of the year and spirit of the year awards, along with the world-class distillery designation, at the 2013 World Spirits Awards held in Klagenfurt, Austria. “This level of recognition puts us alongside a very elite group of world-class distillers who are the superstars of the industry,” said Peter von Hahn, master distiller. “It was an amazing honour a few years ago, when we became Canada’s only master-class distillery, but to surpass that this year with becoming North America’s only worldclass distillery, and being named the World Spirits Awards’ distillery of the year is simply astounding.” In order to achieve this top honour, von Hahn needed a gold medal sweep across a full category, which would mean five gold medals out of five spirits entered in a particular category of alcohol production. But he didn’t stop there. In fact von Hahn went on to win distillery of the year,

spirit of the year and medal with all 10 of his B.C. fruit-made spirits that he entered, claiming one double gold medal, four gold medals, and five silver medals for his products spanning liqueurs, eau de vie fruit brandies, aquavit and absinthe. In fact, Okanagan Spirits black currant liqueur was given the highest points score ever given to a product at the World Spirits event. “I had previously stated that we needed to dream big to achieve success at an awards event of this caliber, and I guess that big dream came true, placing us directly on top of the world stage of craft spirit production,” said von Hahn.

Sombre anniversary honours Scouts ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Shortly before 8 a.m. exactly 50 years ago last Saturday – March 16, 1963 – Nina Hope helped her 14-year-old son, Don, dress for an outing with the 5th Vernon Scout Troop. Nina and Don were big into the Scouts and Girl Guides. Don had gone through the Vernon Cubs and Scouts organizations. Nina was a lieutenant in the 1st Vernon Guide Company. The day before this particular outing, Hope, who one day hoped to work in the forest sector, had posed for a photo for his folks in his Scout uniform, complete with stetson. On March 16, 1963, he and his Scout friends were heading to a spot five miles south of Vernon to clear land to build a cabin on the Commonage. The group was under the guidance of their scoutmaster clearing the site. Don Hope and two other boys, Grant Morgan and David Crane, were away from the main group which was being watched by the assistant scoutmaster. The main leader had returned to Vernon by vehicle to pick up some more Scouts. Hope, Morgan and Crane were clearing brush from a road into the cabin some distance away from the others. On their way back to the cabin site, the trio found a Second World War mortar shell in a brushy gulley. The property, as confirmed by the Canadian Army, had been used as a training range in 1943 but, as was reported in The Vernon News, “It had been cleared of shells since the war as it had been used as grazing land for almost 20 years, and was only used briefly by the army during the war.” Reports vary as to what happened next, but the mortar was either picked up or hit with a pick axe. The shell was live and exploded. Hope and Morgan were killed instantly. Crane survived with a serious leg injury. The main Scout group heard the explosion and originally thought somebody was doing some blasting on the Commonage. When they went to investigate, they came upon the bodies of Hope and Morgan. The troop performed first aid on Crane, built a make-shift stretcher and carried him to the road.

It was 50 years ago last Saturday – March 16, 1963 – that 14-year-old boy scout Don Hope and another Scout, Grant Morgan, were killed when a mortar shell they discovered while clearing some brush on the Commonage exploded. This photo was taken the day before the accident. One of the Scouts went to call for help. The Scoutmaster told The Vernon News he was not aware the property had been used by the army during the war as a firing range. Had he known, he said, he never would have taken the boys there. At the Hope house, Nina was surprised when her husband, William, came home early from his job at Galbraith and Son. Nina was just getting ready to go downtown. “He was quiet, he wasn’t himself,” said Nina. “The police knew him and went to tell him about the explosion.” “It was devastating,” said Janice Addis, Don’s older sister. “It came totally out of the blue.” An inquest a month after the explosion was held and a jury returned a verdict of accidental death, a verdict the Hopes accepted. The sevenman panel recommended that “qualified army
personnel lecture school teachers and students on explosives in areas where war games were carried out at least every five years.” A talk was given at Janice’s school. She walked out, too upset to listen. A double funeral was held for Hope and Morgan with Scouts acting as pallbearers. The pair were buried a row apart in the Vernon Cemetery. A memorial to the boys was erected in Polson Park in 1964, and a plaque in their honour was placed over a fireplace at a Scout cabin on the Commonage. The shell that killed Hope and Morgan is believed to have been a dud fired during maneuvers 20 years before in 1943, which eluded the notice of army engineers. The Vernon News reported 30 army engineers spent time in Vernon after the explo-
sion, sweeping the field and nearby area. They found 11 live mortar shells, including seven in the area where the Scouts were. “There is no guarantee the area is free of live shells,” said Lt. Reid Moir, army spokesperson, to The Vernon News. “The only thing to do is educate the public not to touch any hunk of iron that may be lying about. Nobody can say the place is clear of shells.” And it’s still a possibility 50 years later. A number of shells have been found near the Commonage or in Coldstream since Hope and Morgan’s deaths. The Department of National Defence recommends three things if you come across an unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO) device: n Don’t touch it. If disturbed, a UXO can explode, causing death or injury; n Remember the location and leave the area. Remember where you saw the object. If you can, leave something behind to mark the location. Go back the same way you came. There might be other UXO in the area; the safest route is from where you came; n Call 9-1-1 or local police as soon as possible. Report what you found by calling 9-1-1 or contacting local police. Follow any instructions they give you. Nina Hope has memories and pictures of her handsome teenage son. She has been to the explosion site once in 50 years. She has no doubt her son would have continued being a leader in life. One thing Nina would like more than anything is the plaque from the cairn erected in Polson Park. The cairn has been destroyed but Hope believes the plaque is around somewhere.

Legion branch faces ‘serious’ challenge “We have formed a special committee to look at the situation.” The branch is completely reliant on revenue generated in the lounge to cover day-to-day operations, such as utility bills, rent and wages. However, fewer people are walking through the doors these days and that has negatively impacted the bottom line. Like other legions, the Vernon John MIller branch is also faced with an aging membership.
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon institution wants to ensure it remains a vital part of the community. The local Royal Canadian Legion branch is currently experiencing significant financial issues and there are some concerns about how long the situation can continue. “It’s very serious,” said John Miller, president.
“We only have one active Second World War veteran,” said Miller. Through the 2012 poppy campaign, the branch raised $32,435 to assist veterans and their families. And gaming activities at the legion, such as the meat draw, raised more than $31,050 for the community. “We support the sea cadets, the air cadets, sports groups, Hospice House and other worthwhile local organizations,” said Miller. “If we don’t do this, who will fill the void? The community will suffer.”
The loss of the legion could also mean fewer resources to organize the Rememberance Day ceremony Nov. 11. Beyond expanded revenue, the 600-member branch needs more direct involvement. “We are short of volunteers within the membership,” said Miller. While circumstances are currently challenging, Miller is trying to remain upbeat. “We have a plan. It’s absolutely important for the community to see the value in the organization.” For more information, call 250-545-3295.

It’s still happening and Vernon RCMP are, again, sending a message to people who own motor vehicles: Do not leave anything of value inside your car. This message comes after RCMP responded to a number of thefts from vehicles Saturday. The thefts occurred in the 4600 block of Bella Vista Road, the 3000 block of 39th Avenue and 3500 block of 40th Avenue. “Our officers are reminding everyone to remove items from your vehi-
/100 g /100 g
cles that will attract thieves to your vehicles,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “I know an individual was arrested last week but it appears we have other ones filling in the gap.” An 18-year-old man was arrested last week in the Okanagan Landing. The latest thefts included the culprit or culprits smashing vehicle windows to get to the items. In some thefts, vehicles have been left unlocked. Anyone with any information on these thefts is asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
When two people appeared to be snorting something off a piece of paper just before 11 p.m. in Vernon’s Walmart parking lot, the curious onlooker decided to tell RCMP. Police responded to the call, and an officer was able to locate the suspect vehicle driving southbound in the 3200 block of 27th Street. The driver of the truck was identified as a 32-year-old man from the
Salmon Arm area. “He was found to be in possession of 111 grams of cocaine powder, 1.9 grams of heroin, 1.4 grams of marijuana, four cell phones and a jamming device,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. The jamming device, he explained, helps jam police radios and celluar phones. The man was was expected to appear in court Monday to face drugrelated charges.

Equine Rangers promote Enderby
News
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Enderby’s focus on the future includes heading back to its transportation roots. Members of the Northwest Equine Rangers Society are urging the city to install hitching posts and a corral for horses. “We ride into town three or four days a week and we greet tourists and locals,” said Dean McGeachy, with the society. The society, which started in 2004 to care for rescue horses, believes it can play a role in Enderby’s revitalization initiative by encouraging tourism. “We are working with the museum and handing out brochures,” said McGeachy. “We want to be ambassadors for Enderby.” There is also the goal of educating people about horses. “A lot of children have never had the experience to touch a horse. To see their eyes light up is amazing,” said McGeachy. If the city proceeds with hithcing posts and a corral, McGeach is confident some residents may use horses for getting around because of the cost of fuel and protecting the environment. “There is nothing greener than a horse,” he said. There are already hitching posts in place at the D&E DriveIn. “It’s become a real tourist attraction,” said Earl Shipmaker, a city councillor. Council and city staff will investigate the society’s request for hitching posts and a corral and issues related to having horses in an urban setting.

Efficiencies soften tax burden RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Belt-tightening has kept Enderby taxes from skyrocketing. Council agreed to move ahead Monday with the draft 2013 city budget. “It should have been a 10 per cent tax increase but because of efficiencies, it will be three per cent,” said Coun. Earl Shipmaker. Among the cost savings are not replacing a couple of vehicles and integrating the parks department with public works.
“It should have been a 10 per cent increase.” — Earl Shipmaker
“We were able to absorb the CPI increase for normal city operations through various operational savings throughout the budget,” said Jennifer Dennis, chief financial officer. Of the three per cent tax increase, two per cent will
go towards financing capital works and one per cent is dedicated for equipment reserves. Shipmaker says it’s critical for the city to plan for the future. “Council has a policy to add two per cent for financing
capital like roads and drainage,” he said. The impact for the average property owner will be $20. In terms of sewer, user fees will increase by 1.84 per cent in 2013. The funds will go towards recapitalization. Operating costs for the sewer utility will decrease by 4.2 per cent and these savings will fund special projects. User fees for water are projected to increase by 3.49 per cent and the funds will go into reserves for future works.

They often receive grief from local residents for writing parking tickets. But there’s a lot more to Vernon’s bylaw officers than just enforcing parking infractions. Like helping diffuse two potential assault situations in the downtown core two days apart. “As many people are aware the bylaw officers are ambassadors for public safety for the City of Vernon while doing their duties related to bylaw enforcement,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Shortly before 5 p.m. March 12, two bylaw officers were patrolling 30th Avenue when they witnessed an alleged assault taking place between a pregnant 19-year-old woman and her boyfriend. “It appeared the disturbance was starting to escalate so they felt they
needed to become involved so she didn’t get hurt,” said Molendyk. The bylaw officers parked their vehicle and called the police. They were able to stop any further assault and kept the two apart until the RCMP arrived and arrested the male suspect who is in his mid 20s and known to police. He was released from custody on conditions to stay away from the woman. Two days later, at around 2 p.m., as he was conducting his parking duties, another officer noticed an assault taking place between an intoxicated man and an elderly gentleman. The bylaw officer got involved, and was able to flag down an RCMP officer and assisted in the arrest of the intoxicated male. “The suspect went to police cells and the elderly gentleman went on his way,” said Molendyk.

It’s not either or
here’s a reoccuring theme as Greater Vernon draws closer to the April 6 borrowing referendum for a sports complex. Some residents want to know why the $7.5 million proposal is at Okanagan College in Coldstream and not at Kin Race Track in Vernon. And it’s a valid question given that the 43rd Avenue site is publicly owned and a close walk to restaurants and hotels. The short answer is the Regional District of North Okanagan and the City of Vernon have been mired in legal action ever since an eviction notice was issued to the Okanagan Equestrian Society in 2010. And until RDNO and the city stand their ground and actually represent the broad interests of the commuRichard Rolke nity, that land will remain unavailable. But, more importantly, the proposed sports complex is not envisioned at Kin Race Track because other uses abound. Through an exhaustive process, including public consultation, in 2010, RDNO has developed a redevelopment plan for Kin. It includes four slowpitch fields, a BMX track, a bicycle skill facility, two sheets of ice, a gymnastics facility, a plaza, trails, a playground, general park space and additional parking. Civic Arena is on its last legs (for some historical context, the Second World War didn’t start until a year after it opened). That means Greater Vernon will soon have to provide additional ice time for adults and youth. Wesbild Centre was constructed in 2001 with the capability of a second ice sheet and that means part of the Kin track will be needed. The speed skating club is also dealing

with inadequate facilities and, as a result, tournaments are not held in Vernon. Similar circumstances also limit the gymnastics and BMX clubs. There has also been the suggestion that the open area could become a permanent location for the farmers market if power connections and washrooms are provided. Yes there will be a cost, but the vision for Kin is to develop a multi-use attraction right in the heart of the community. Now as was mentioned earlier, the Kin site is central to restaurants and hotels. But, in reality, the college is only about four minutes from downtown, a similar distance as Grahame Park and DND where ball tournaments are held. Marshall Field, the soccer mecca, is about eight minutes from downtown. The college site has easy access from the highway, there is public transit right there, an existing concession and classes for large events and Kal Beach is just a few minutes away for visitors wanting to cool off. Predator Ridge and Sparkling Hill are close at hand. At a recent public information meeting, one resident questioned why Vernonites would invest in a facility in Coldstream. But keep in mind that the city, Coldstream and the electoral areas are part of a common recreation function and borders are irrelevant. Coldstream and electoral area residents have paid for facilities in Vernon for decades. Perhaps the fact that location keeps coming up indicates that proponents of the sports complex have not done a sufficient job in explaining the benefits of the college property or the long-term opportunities for Kin. But that aside, the diverse and growing needs of Greater Vernon residents require both locations. It’s not an either or situation.
If BC NDP leaders hope to capitalize on the BC Liberals’ missteps, they need to step up their game and prove to voters there are good reasons to vote for their party. The notion that a vote for one is a vote against the other is simply not good enough reason – by itself – to return to power a party that has had its own shortcomings in the past in the transparency department. Pundits and pollsters might, indeed, be right that a backlash against Liberals’ mismanagement of their current mandate will result in a win for the NDP. But it should be realized that voters are in the throes of a crisis of confidence with the political process itself. They have not simply lost faith in the BC Liberals – they have lost faith in politicians of all stripes. In the political game, the NDP’s release of leaked memos concerning Liberal tactics in wooing ethnic voters was a bona fide win. But the NDP’s reluctance – to this date – to follow up such gains by presenting a detailed platform of its own is more than a little troubling. If New Democrats think the best strategy is to hang fire and keep quiet in the expectation that the Conservatives’ sabre-rattling will be sufficient to split the right-wing vote, it smacks of a cynicism equal to anything Liberal strategists have promulgated. The NDP must stand for something, not just against something. Presenting a convincing vision is what it will take for NDP leader Adrian Dix to ultimately put to rest a horrible past blunder in which he falsified the date of a memo to provide an alibi for former premier Glen Clark, who was feeling the heat in a probe into alleged corruption. Dix has apologized and acknowledged he “owns” his past mistakes. He has also refused to take the bait of campaigning by the Liberals, who are determined to prove that the 14 years since the scandal is not too long for the short memory of the electorate. In contrast to the stumbles of others, the NDP has said it will provide a platform of promises that can be kept. So far, we are still waiting. ---Black Press

Solar not a solution for everyone
t is inspiring to see a young schoolgirl to be so passionate about environmental issues that she finds courage to make a presentation to the city council demanding that changes be made in Vernon to protect our environment. While I am certainly applauding her effort, I would caution councillors against hasty impulsive actions based on the highly emotional presentation of a 10-year-old girl. The council decisions on environmental issues ought to be based on science and economics, not on emotions. One of the demands presented was for installations of photovoltaic cells, commonly called solar panels. While use of solar electricity is generally on the increase around the globe, some countries quickly learned that it is not a good solution for everyone. For solar electricity to be praiseworthy, it must satisfy several strict scientific, environmental and economic criteria. Unfortunately, photovoltaic electricity today fails miserably on each of these points. From the scientific viewpoint, the photovoltaic cells are still a developing technology. The biggest problem to overcome is their very low efficiency which is typically only around 12 per cent to 15 per cent. The other basic scientific problem is how to store electric energy produced in peak hours. On the environmental side, it is important to mention that during the solar panels manufacturing process a number of harmful and highly toxic materials are used or generated. Also huge amounts of fossil fuels are used in the manufacture power of books Thank you for featuring Kristin Froneman’s excellent column in The Morning Star. I smiled when she mentioned Caroline Keane and Judy Blume. When I was a child and teenager, the library was my favourite hangout and I read so many books in the children’s library that the librarian called my mother and asked if I could be graduated to the adult library early as I had read everything in my small town’s children’s library. Those early library experiences had a profound impact on me and I also have had a lifelong love of reading, and, like Kristin, have a great appreciation for Timothy Findlay and the quality of writing of many of our Canadian authors. We know that not everyone in Canada has had those same childhood experiences and that a shocking 49 per cent of adults in Canada are considered to be functionally illiterate – not possessing a high enough literacy competency to hold a job, get more education or find new careers in a moreliteracy based job market. Our local newspapers play such an
of the cells. In some cases photovoltaic solar panels require more energy for their production than they ever produce during their lifetime. Also the economy of solar electricity in most areas is very questionable. While it may be quite good in many locations in Mexico, Texas or Arizona, it is not good in Canada. Unfortunately in places like Vernon, this is the biggest deterrent in adopting solar electricity on a meaningful scale. Photovoltaic cells in our latitude generate electricity mostly when it is really not needed – around lunch time on a pleasant summer day. It generates basically nothing at the time when is most required – during evening and early morning hours and during many full winter days. It is very intermittent and on days
important part in promoting literacy and are often the only regular reading undertaken by those who were not exposed to those early reading inspirations. The Morning Star has been a continuous partner to the early learning and early literacy initiatives undertaken by the North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition member organizations. Currently we have an Investigative Reading Group of educators who have been given an opportunity to share information in the paper about what they are reading. We are working on an Unplug and Play initiative to decrease screen time and promote reading, physical activity and family dinners in conjunction with The Morning Star. The Morning Star has supported Family Literacy Week over many years. Thank you Morning Star and thank you Kristin Froneman for reminding us of the power of books and the printed word to change and inspire us. Lynne reside, early Years Community Development Coordinator
misLeaDing the pubLiC The B.C. government has announced what they call a “Balanced Budget.” How stupid do they think we are? In order to achieve a zero bottom line they included the sale of assets as part of revenue. This is not merely misleading, it is in contempt of standard accounting principles which makes it abundantly clear that this practice is unacceptable. Because we were told what they’d done I can’t label it as fraud. But they are trying to mislead, knowing full well that accounting is an arcane science to all but the initiated, not understood by the average citizen. A profit-and-loss financial statement contains only operating revenues and expenses. Assets are accounted for in the balance sheet alongside cash, thus a reduction in asset value means a corresponding reduction of net worth. Operating expenses may not write off an asset unless it no longer has any value. The government knows this. It’s not rocket science. So it’s hardly surprising that The Vancouver Sun reported (Feb. 16) that only 33 per cent of Vancouver residents

when the sun does not shine, the batteries for storing large amounts of electricity are inadequate. When planning usage of photovoltaic electricity it is necessary to consider not only the initial cost of solar panels and their installation and connection costs, but also to remember that it is a lifetime commitment to subsidize such electricity production. Solar electricity is at least five times more expensive than hydro power. Solar power installations are built only because of massive government subsidies. As soon as government subsidies end, the solar power plants are in the red. Germany is often used as an example of successful growth in solar power. The way the system works is that owners of solar plants have a long-term contract (20 years) with government which guarantees them a high price of 50 cents for every kwh produced. The production from other sources of power cost much less (typically less than 12 cents per kwh). The difference is paid by German taxpayers; that is why the cost of electricity in Germany is 32 cents per kwh. We in B.C. typically pay around 8 cents per kwh. I don't know how any family in Vernon that currently pays a monthly bill of $80 would feel paying $320 instead. The same increase, of course, would apply for the city. In our province we have an excellent and cheap source of clean renewable electrical energy 24 hours a day, year around and that is our hydro power. It provides for over 90 per cent of our electricity wants. We do not need to experiment with much more expensive and unreliable sources of solar power. nathaniel royko

Lumby keeps with regional planning

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Lumby continues to have confidence in a regional service. While Armstrong wants to withdraw from the Regional District of North Okanagan’s planning function, Lumby has agreed to another five-year contract. “They have always provided a good service

and the planners know the area,” said Kevin Acton, the village’s mayor. The contract costs less than $30,000 a year and Acton believes that is more affordable than the village hiring its own staff. “You’d be looking at double the cost,” he said. Acton says RDNO has also adjusted its service to address issues of workload. “Instead of stacking up in the queue behind

20 projects (from across the region), each municipality will have its own queue,” said Acton. “We can set our own priorities and move them around.” The City of Armstrong has stated it will withdraw from the regional program because it does not believe it is receiving sufficient service for its funds.

including its third gig. “I have many memories of playing with different groups like Swinging Dix, Okanagan Swing, the Doug Sonju group, and Bjorn Edblad featuring Lennart Axelson,” recalled Ross.
Thirteen times on the VJC stage – often as bandleader of a Grant Family jazz extravaganza – Grant has many a story to tell. “I remember a gig downstairs at the Sandman Inn featuring Brian McMahon, Gregor Sneddon, and a guitarist I can’t recall. I went to the concert and after hearing a few tunes I left, drove home to Grindrod, picked up my drums, and rushed back so I could sit in with the band!” said Grant. McMahon has appeared numerous times including the VJS’s second gig ever. “My recollection is of a great buzz in the air. There were many musicians who were ‘starving’ for somewhere to play. We were thrilled to have a venue catering to — no, promoting jazz,” said McMahon. Presently working with the Barbara Samuel’s Professional Vocal Program in Kelowna, this will be Moger’s fourth gig at the VJC. Buck runs the Thursday Jazz Jams at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna. A substitute clarinetist for the OSO, Buck also performs with the Kelowna City Band, the Night Owl Orchestra, and his two teenage sons in The Alex Buck Trio. Special guests The Alex Buck Trio will open the gig. Alex is a marvelous pianist, brother Simon Buck a talented drummer, and father Stephen Buck will complete the trio on acoustic bass. Doug Sonju & Friends play the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday, 3000-31st St. Doors open at 7:15 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, available at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup or www.vernonjazzclub.ca
ing Russian accent, “you can do your job while I do mine.” And he continued to illustrate the point that genius is earned rather than born. After he’d refreshed his memory with the score of Mozart’s sonata, he stuffed it into the backpack that rested on the leg of the Steinway grand, and moved on to Schumann’s Carnaval Opus 9, timing each of its 20 numbered studies, along with the two un-numbered, Sphinxes and Intermezzo, which many pianists omit. Of course I had listened to Carnaval in advance too. I had also watched on YouTube the delightful one-act ballet of the same name, based on Schumann’s music, choreographed by Mikhail Fokine with his own libretto in 1910. Thus armed to visualize each Commedia dell’Arte character Schumann depicted, I could appreciate Saratovsky’s sensitive interpretation, reflecting both the dark and light aspects of the composer’s personality. And this was just the rehearsal! Saratovsky’s energy, focus and musicianship bled into a spectacular tour de force in performance. As he introduced Chopin’s Polonaise in A flat major Opus 53, he made the observation, and abided by it, that the pianist’s job is to use his instrument as an expressive voice rather than a percussive instrument. His contrasts in
colour, intensity and pace, particularly his use of the pause (caesura in musical parlance), aptly illustrated that concept. Yet his stage presence, perhaps inhibited by slow sound and lighting cues, might have benefited had his hands, so expressive at the keyboard, been tucked out of sight when he stood to introduce the pieces. Alternatively, he could have sat at the piano to speak. (Speaking of pianos, NOCCA’s did not hold up well under pressure unfortunately.) Of the three Tchaikovsky Seasons chosen by Saratovsky, Troika (“horse drawn sleigh or carriage” in Russian) was favoured. The exhilarating program ended with Rachmaninoff ’s Liebeslied (Love’s Sorrow), followed by Liebesfreud (Love’s Joy), via which Saratovsky unveiled a glimpse of his personal life: his recent marriage to a lady from his native Karelia and the 15-month delay, due to immigration procedures, they will have to endure before she can join him in Canada. NOCCA’s final concert this season, on April 23 at 7:30 p.m., features clarinet virtuoso Francois Houle with Jane Hayes at piano. Google “Community Concerts Vernon” or check www.facebook.com/NOCommunityConcerts for advance program details. I recommend listening ahead of time!
Dvoira YanovskY Special to The Morning Star
Take a sentimental journey with Doug Sonju & Friends, celebrating jazz tunes from the ‘30s to the ‘60s at the Vernon Jazz Club on Saturday. The evening of vintage jazz features an incredible array of VJC favourites including Doug Sonju (clarinet and sax), Don Ross (piano), Doug Grant (drums), Brian McMahon (bass), Loni Moger (guitar), and Stephen Buck (flute, clarinet, and sax). Collectively, band members have appeared on the VCJ stage at least 85 times! Reminiscing about the early days of the VJS (1999 – 2001) director of bookings Sue Kershaw recalled when gigs were held in the Sandman Inn’s basement. “Night after night our audiences enjoyed quality jazz led by local musicians like Larry Crawford, Mike Garding, Hugh Parsons, Ellen Churchill, Doug Sonju, Les Copeland, Henry Piovesan, Pat MacGibbon, Hugh Fraser, Sandy Cameron, and Bob Rogers,” said Kershaw. VJS board and members were invited to submit song titles evoking, “I remember when…” Song requests featured timeless classics like Come Fly With Me, April in Paris, ‘Round Midnight, The Girl from Ipanema, It Don’t Mean a Thing, At Last, Love for Sale, Stardust and I Got Rhythm. A long-standing member of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, Sonju appeared at the VJS’s fourth gig as part of the Hugh Parsons Trio with Ellen Campbell. “My memory is that fans have always been great about supporting local musicians, which I guess was all the club could offer in the early years,” said Sonju. Jazz master Ross has appeared 16 times at the VJC,

Pianist heralds spring on St. Patrick’s Day
W
hen the North Okanagan Community Concert Association chose St. Patrick’s Day and virtuoso concert pianist Sergei Saratovsky to herald spring 2013 at the Performing Arts Centre, the sun shone as brilliantly as did the performer who replaced Ruston Vuori due to his hand injury. One of the habits that reviewers are heir to is to familiarize themselves with concert content in advance. Saratovsky’s selection for last Sunday Christine Pilgrim afternoon was no exception. (This practice, with its capacity to enhance the appreciation of a performance exponentially, could serve all concert-goers well.) So, with the scheduled opening piece, Mozart’s Sonata in B flat major K333, dancing in my head, I arrived at the PAC stage door early to photograph Saratovsky rehearsing. Sublime wonder stopped me in my tracks when I heard the strains I’d been humming echo from the piano as Saratovsky perfected phrases that didn’t quite meet his criteria. When he’d finished I asked if I might photograph him. “As long as I can still practise,” he said in his disarm-

Ali takes a job as a bouncer and meets Stephanie (Cotillard) who is a beautiful self confident woman. They come from vastly different stratas of society and after one night, they part, although she takes his phone number. Some time later Stephanie contacts Ali and he finds out she has had a terrible accident at the Marineland where she works as a whale trainer. She has lost both her legs and her dreams, and the movie follows how he helps her regain her spirit and zest for life. He shows no pity in his helping her to live again and critics say “their passionate affair comes surging out

Local singer Sable celebrates CD release VERNON — Local singer-songwriter Sable invites you to join her and two other local singersongwriters, Chris Madsen and Chad McLeary, for a live performance at the release party of her new CD, Pyrates & Pagans, tonight at the Vernon library. From the time she was small, born and raised Vernonite Diane Morrison (Sable) knew she wanted to be Sable a writer or a musician. Now both dreams are becoming reality. With her first book, The Witch’s Eight Paths of Power, scheduled to be published in October by Weiser Books, Sable has turned her sights back to her music. In 1997 Sable and her husband Erin McRoy selfproduced a raw album, Of Dragons and Unicorns, on their home computer with a $20 microphone and a CD burner. Her captivating voice, which has been compared to Billie Holiday and Alanis
Morissette, is both passionate and whimsical, and she allows it to soar acapella or accompanies it with a single acoustic guitar. Her often literary-inspired music speaks of fanciful worlds of the future and past, or cuts right to the heart in its open emotion. The self-produced CD sold more than 150 copies and built a small but loyal fan-base which has been eagerly anticipating future works for many years. She followed this by fronting goth rock band Gallows Hill, whose single, Solace, was number three on Mp3.com’s goth rock charts and remained in the top 10 for six weeks. The break-up of the band and the need to make a living took Sable away from her music for several years, but the near-death of her husband in a traumatic accident caused her to re-evaluate her life and pursue her dreams with passion. Last year, Sable released an album of meditation music called Elemental, a significant departure from her primary style which incorporated keyboards and a variety of acoustic instruments, but no lyrics. Pyrates & Pagans represents a return to her roots; acoustic guitar or acapella pieces and raw, emotional vocals. What’s changed? “The microphone and the computer are more expensive, and the printing won’t run in the rain,” Sable laughs. Attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their best “pyrate” or “pagan” garb. There will be a prize for the best costume in each category. A ceremony for the Vernal Equinox, and a “conscious intention to create a better world and protect those harmed by injustice or greed, especially in our community,” will be part of the show. If you can’t make the performance in person, you can still be part of the event by signing up for the live broadcast at Spreecast. Hard copy CDs purchased during the show, online or in person, will come with a free download code for the digital release that contains special features not available anywhere else. The event takes place in the Vernon library downstairs meeting room from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more information or to RSVP, contact Sable at Sable@thethreadsthatbindus.net, her page www. reverbnation.com/sable1, or her Facebook page www.facebook.com/sablearadiamusic.

Country rock duo are still in tune Morning Star Staff
Lisa Nicole was 15 when she met 17-yearold Jason Thomas playing at a jam session in a smoky bar. Fast-forward a few years and the two musicians are touring and bringing their show to Lorenzo’s Cafe in Enderby on Friday as well as a daytime show at the Talkin’ Donkey in Vernon. It’s part of Lisa’s It Got Ugly Tour. “We both have our own CD’s out but work together as a dynamic country rock duo act,” she said. “We have collaborated on many dif-
ferent projects from playing music festivals, bars, cafes and theatres together to co-writing a tune on my current EP.” From her home in Vancouver and his in Trail, they’ll travel to the Okanagan to play
Lorenzo’s at 8 p.m. on Friday, and the Talkin’ Donkey at 11 a.m. Lisa’s first single If You Say You Do can be found on country radio stations across Canada. Jason has just released his CD Git R’ Done.

Ben Ryder shows off his fossil collection to friends Ayla Hedican and Tomas Faccini as members of Kids for Inquiry, the youth offshoot of the Okanagan Branch of the Centre for Inquiry, gather at the Okanagan Science Centre recently to celebrate Charles Darwin’s birthday.
Inquiring minds celebrate Darwin Natassia Orr Special to The Morning Star
This year, the Okanagan Branch of the Centre for Inquiry rang in Charles Darwin’s birthday in style. In a family event hosted by the Okanagan Science Centre, children from five to 12 learned about Darwin’s discovery of evolution, what it means, and why it was such a ground-breaking idea at the time. The presentation given by the centre’s resident “mad scientist” Kevin Aschenmeier
I
was complemented by a number of different fossils for the children to explore, featuring a Triceratops skull almost five feet long and about 65 million years old. Darwin’s birthday party was the latest in a series of events held by Kids for Inquiry, the youth offshoot of the CFI Okanagan group. So far the children have learned about the sun, UFOs, psychics, math and lucky numbers, astrology, and atoms in a series of events designed to teach chil-
dren about scepticism and critical thinking. This latest event, where Kevin kept the children’s intellectual faculties engaged, was enjoyed by all. Nine-year-old Ben Ryder, one of the founding members of KFI, said the thing he enjoyed learning about the most was “the slideshow of the evolution of people,” showing the slow changes that resulted in modern humans, complete with recreations of ancient human skulls. “I also liked Kevin drawing
the triceratops,” Ben added, referring to the stick figure on the white board which sent giggles around the room. As for five-year-old Ashley Quigley, when I asked her what she liked best, she showed me the 10,000-year-old mammoth bone that was passed around. Then she grabbed me by the hand, and showed me Darwin’s birthday cake. To learn more about CFI and Kids for Inquiry, visit the CFI website at www.cfiokanagan.ca
Clematis makes the cut
noticed that some of my clematis, overwintering in the greenhouse, had an early start. I had to search how to treat these lovely flowering vines and thought that it would be the subject of this week’s column. Some of the growing tips came from the internet and Gardens West magazine. Every clematis should be cut back hard the very first early spring after planting (when you see leaf buds developing as your plant Jocelyne sewell breaks dormancy, leave two sets of buds on each stem between your cut and soil level); following that, it should be pruned according to its grouping: GROUP A clematis flower only on growth from previous years. Prune to cut out weak or dead stems as soon as they are finished blooming in May or June. Pruning later than June or very severely will result in fewer blooms the following spring. GROUP B1 produces a heavy flush of flowers May to June on the previous year’s growth followed by a smaller flush of blooms in September on new growth.
A GArdener’s diAry
A light pruning in late February or March with variation in the length of the stems will produce a well-balanced plant. GROUP B2 blooms continuously from June to September on both last year’s and current growth. For pruning purposes these varieties can be treated as group B1 or C and because of that work well in combination plantings with both these groups. GROUP C blooms only on the current year’s growth, from early summer through to fall. Cut back plants in late February or March to two strong sets of buds on each stem as close to ground level as possible. If you want to grow a group-C clematis through a tree or have it flower above its normal blooming height, leave it unpruned. Clematis benefits from an annual spring application of mulch to insulate the roots from heat, necessary for shallow-rooted vines that require cool roots. Whenever the ground is workable, clematis can be planted. Clematis need a cool, moist, deep root run, plenty of water until established and regular, balanced feeding. Dig a hole 45 cm (18 inches) by 45 cm wide and 45 cm deep, and cover the bottom with a good rich compost or well-rotted manure. A handful of bone meal mixed with soil is also beneficial.
Add enough topsoil to cover the compost; now you are ready to plant. Place your well-watered clematis in the hole so that about 15 cm (six inches) of stem is below the soil line to encourage more stems to grow from the base. The more stems the plant grows the faster the coverage and the less susceptible the plant becomes to disease. Remove any leaves that grow beneath the soil level. Next, attach the stem to a support and consider planting a small shrub in front to ensure your clematis has a cool root run. Generally, it is recommended to mulch plants to a maximum of 2.5 to 5 cm (one to two inches), which allows the free exchange of air and water and poses no danger of suffocating or rotting the plant’s root system. Clematis is an exception to this rule; it benefits from a deeper mulch of 7.5 to 10 cm (three to four inches), spread evenly along the drip line or 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 inches) around the plant, making sure to allow a mulch-free space around the woody stem. Deeper mulch provides protection from heat for the roots and helps retain moisture during drought. There will be another seed sale at the SENS meeting at Schubert Centre March 28 at 6:30 p.m. For more information: 250-558-4556.

I
’ve just returned from a week in winterland (Calgary, not Winnipeg), where I enjoyed one lovely day; and then the cold and snow returned with a vengeance. There was nothing like returning to above freezing temperatures, sunshine, and flowers blooming in my garden, albeit crocuses. I’m ever grateful to be living in the Okanagan! With Easter soon to be upon us, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to look at a couple of side dishes to go with your baked ham this holiday. The first recipe is a spin-off on an old green bean casserole dish that was made with canned ingredients; but this one is so much better, being made from scratch. Don’t like beans? The second recipe is a wonderful creamy carrot casserole that will add colour and taste to any meal. The breadcrumb topping can be made up to a day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

cathi Litzenberger
1 small onion, finely chopped or thinly sliced 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley 2 tbsp. flour 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pinch ground black pepper 1/2 cup milk 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1 (2.8 ounce) can French fried onions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place green beans into saucepan and fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and steam until beans are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushrooms. Set aside. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and parsley; cook and stir until onion is tender. Whisk in flour until blended, then mix in lemon zest, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk
in milk, stirring constantly so no lumps form, then stir in sour cream. Warm over medium heat until the sauce begins to bubble. Dump in the green beans and mushrooms, stirring to coat. Remove from the heat and toss briefly with some of the Cheddar cheese and French fried onions, saving some of each to sprinkle over the top. Spoon into a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish and top with the reserved onions and cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes. Delicious! Creamy Carrot Casserole 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 pounds carrots, cut on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick pieces 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon allpurpose flour 1- 1/2 cups heavy cream 3 medium garlic cloves, smashed 1-1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs Heat the oven to 350 F and arrange a rack in the middle. Lightly coat a 2-quart casserole
or 11-by-7-inch baking dish with butter, and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When foaming subsides, add carrots, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots just start to brown, about 7 minutes. Evenly sprinkle flour over carrots, stirring constantly. Cook until flour turns golden in colour, about 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly pour in cream while constantly stirring, bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Transfer to the prepared dish and cover with aluminum foil. Place in the oven and bake until cream is bubbling and carrots just give way when pierced with a knife, about 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add garlic and cook until butter just begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add breadcrumbs to the pan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir occasionally until panko is lightly browned and toasted, about 5 minutes.
Remove to a medium bowl and discard garlic. When casserole
is ready, remove foil and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.

Okanagan residents can share their stories about water in the valley. The Okanagan Basin Water Board and Okanagan WaterWise have organized a number of fun events during Canada Water Week, which runs until Sunday. “Canada Water Week and UN World Water Day Friday are an opportunity to celebrate water and reflect on its importance: to our communities, to our economy, to the environment, and to life itself,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director.
The first event kicks off with the launch of the third annual Okanagan WaterWise Challenge. “School classes and individuals throughout the Okanagan, from kindergarten to Grade 12, are invited to submit multi-media entries, telling us how they love their water body,” said Corinne Jackson, WaterWise program coordinator. “We want them to share a special experience around Okanagan water and the importance of conserving and protecting it.” The prizes include a pizza party and passes to Okanagan pools for

Lavington Community Association members Tony Cope and Edith Thoreson are pleased to see Lavington Community Park’s newest addition – a shelter. The dream of a shelter was first initiated in 2008, and the structure came to fruition last summer. It is hoped that with some additional community and government support, power, water, lighting and tables will be installed this year to complete the shelter for community use.
Firefighters promote extinguisher use Morning Star Staff
Reaching for an extinguisher may seem natural during a fire, but there can be negative consequences if you don’t know what you are doing. Vernon Fire Department officials indicate that many people aren’t familiar with extinguishers and by doing so, they may injure themselves, unintentionally spread the fire or get trapped in a bad situation. “Rather than assume everything will work out if an emergency ever does happen, take the time to get familiar with the fire extinguishers you might
have to use in an emergency,” said Lawrie Skolrood, deputy fire chief. “Know where they are and how to use them. Become confident in when and how to use them. Take a course and actually try using one.” Here are some tips that might be helpful: 1. As soon as you discover a fire, sound the alarm and start to evacuate. Call the fire department. Even if you feel you can bring the fire under control with a fire extinguisher these are important first steps to insure everyone’s safety and that help is on the way. 2. To be on the safe side, test the extinguisher before you approach the fire to determine that it works. 3. Always protect yourself and leave the building immediately if the fire is progressing too quickly! 4. Keep your back to the exit at all times. 5. Approach the fire and stand two to four metres from the fire. 6. Take care. Although speed is important, it is even more important to be cautious. 7. Utilize the four-step procedure known as PASS a. P- pull the pin (release the lock or press the punch lever) b. A-aim the nozzle at the base of the fire c. S-squeeze or press the trigger d. S-sweep the extinguisher from side to side 8. If the extinguisher is starting to get empty and the fire does not appear to be going out, leave the area immediately. “Fire extinguishers can be extremely effective in stopping small fires from becoming big fires and for preventing more damage before the fire department arrives,” said Skolrood. “However, this should only be considered if it can be done safely. Specifically, you need to be confident in how to use a fire extinguisher properly. Most importantly, you need to know when it is time to fight and when it is time to leave. If you have any doubts, it is not worth the risk, get out of the area and leave the firefighting to the fire department.”

Curling is sliding out of the rink and into local elementary schools in an attempt to promote the popular winter sport to the next generation. Armed with a grant from the Funtastic Sports Society, the Vernon Curling Club is using its new program, Curling is Funtastic, to give youngsters in the North Okanagan an introduction to the sport. “It’s an awareness to the younger ones that there’s a good game out there,” said Dave Merklinger, manager of the Vernon club. “Our sport needs to have some youth to it because it’s getting a little old.” The club is offering the program free of charge to local schools. Merklinger The inaugural session was recently held at Alexis Park, and upcoming outings are being planned for Hillview and Ellison. Merklinger also wants to extend the program to Armstrong, Lumby and Salmon Arm. “It’s meant to help the clubs in our region,” he said. “Each curling facility should benefit from it. I know we will.” The curling club used the Funtastic grant to buy special equipment – plastic mats and curling rocks on ball bearings – to simulate the game in an off-ice environment. In a typical 45-minute session, kids learn the basics of curling, including how to throw a stone and sportsmanship. To keep it fun, students also participate in relays and other fun activities. “It gives you a sense of how curling is played,” said Merklinger. “They see what a 12-foot, eight-foot and fourfoot look like. There are handshakes before and after.” Jim McEwan, executive director with Funtastic, was at Alexis Park to take in the first session and was impressed by the students’ reaction. “I saw a lot of next-generation curlers,” smiled McEwan. “The kids were right into it. And a lot of them had a nice touch in their throw. It was great to see. “It introduces the sport to kids that otherwise might not have the opportunity to try it.”

Apple varieties promoted judie steeves

Salish apples are part of a new marketing campaign launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Plant Improvement Corporation. The program also involves the aurora golden gala variety.
Black Press
John Kingsmill expects consumers will come to recognize the ‘Born in B.C. Raised in the Okanagan’ brand of tree fruits, beginning with two new apple varieties bred here in the valley. He was delighted with recognition by the B.C. government of the innovative approach developed by the Plant Improvement Corporation he is CEO of, in branding and marketing these new varieties of fruits — with a $25,000 grant to help promote them. PICO is owned by the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, and its mandate is to manage and commercialize new varieties of fruit developed locally, such as by breeders at the federal Pacific Agri-food Research Centre. It launched the Born in B.C. program last fall and began to promote the new Salish and aurora golden gala varieties of apples, bred at PARC in Summerland. The money comes from a new provincial Buy Local fund that provides matching funding to projects which focus on encouraging the use of local agricultural products. It’s administered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. “Being from the Okanagan, there’s always a sense of pride when I see our local, high quality fruits being shared with the rest of B.C. and the world,” said Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick. The aurora golden gala variety of apple was re-named following a national contest in 2003, replacing its working name of 8S-69-23, but it has ridden a somewhat rocky road since then, partly because growers are challenged to produced unblemished auroras. Initially, growers planted it because of all the consumer enthusiasm generated by the contest across the country, but when it was discovered there wasn’t yet any quantity of the newly-developed fruit

being grown to make it generally available, consumers lost interest. Despite these difficulties, with careful handling and use of different growing, picking and packing techniques than used for growing the traditional varieties, the aurora is very favoured by consumers because of its crunch and flavour. It’s a mid-season, yellow apple with noteworthy texture and keeping quality. The flavour is described as light, with honey and tropical flavours. Salish is also a gala and splendour cross, but it has more of a pinkish-red blush over a yellow background. It
has a tangy flavour, is very juicy and crisp. As part of efforts to help growers learn the best techniques for growing these new varieties, PICO organized a bus tour in January of a Washington State packing plant owned by the Auvil Fruit Company, which has planted 100 acres of aurora golden gala and changed the way it grows, pick and packs in order to present consumers with unblemished fruit. The Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative delisted Auroras after a couple of years because of the specialty care required to handle it without causing marks to show up on the fruit.

After a slow start, the North Okanagan Knights are marching in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Okanagan/Shuswap Conference final. Rebounding from a series opening loss, the Knights stuffed the Osoyoos Coyotes 5-1 in Game 2 Saturday night in Armstrong, followed by a 5-0 win in Game 3 Monday at the Sun Bowl. Game 4 of their best-of-seven set went Tuesday night in Osoyoos, and Game 5 is slated for Thursday (7 p.m.) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights used their trademark team speed to overwhelm Osoyoos, drawing 11 penalties while incurring just two of their Rugerrio own in front of 345 fans. “It was a well-played hockey game on our part,” said Knights’ assistant coach Shawn Webb. “We nullified them in all three zones and frustration got the best of them. “Our discipline was phenomenal. There was a lot of stuff behind the play and our guys did a good job of putting the game first.” Connor Richards opened the scoring Monday night with his first of the playoffs, converting from the slot after captain Steve Pantazopoulos won a puck battle down low to set up the play. Defencemen Nathan Browne (1st goal) and David London (5th) added to North Okanagan’s lead with powerplay snipes in the second period. Anthony Ruggerio (1st) and Colton Thibault (8th) scored 16 seconds apart in the final frame to put the game out of reach. Barker kicked a rolling puck to Ruggerio, who ripped a one-timer past Jesse Gordichuk’s blocker. Thibault (scoresheet credits Brett Hawrys) caught Gordichuk cheating on an odd-man rush with linemate Matty Saharchuk charging to the net. “We were all over them,” said Ruggerio, who plays on the Knights’ energy line with Barker and Brandon Shirley. “They were getting frustrated.”

Lakers fall short of playoff round Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor
Defeat the Juan de Fuca Royals to finish the B.C. Bantam A Female Hockey Championships Tuesday night and then spend Spring Break doing other stuff. That was the game-plan for the Vernon Sladen Moore Lakers, who bowed 4-0 to the Tri-Cities Predators Monday night at Wesbild Centre, eliminating them from today’s playoff round. Whitey Dove, with a deuce, Emily Choo and captain Olivia Ramos supplied goals for the Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody girls, who got 21 saves from Brooke Vial. Maya Baker of the Lakers blocked 37 shots and made numerous incredible stops. The 3-0-1 Predators grounded the Castlegar Wildcats 5-1 Tuesday morning and finished preliminary play that afternoon against the 3-0 North Shore Avalanche. North Shore brushed back the Terrace Kermodes 3-1 Tuesday afternoon in what directors were calling the finest game of the championships. North Shore earlier mauled the Kamloops Mystix 11-1 and grounded the Cranbrook Ice 8-1. The Lakers (0-2-1) skated with the Preds, but couldn’t execute on offence despite several chances as they pressed in the third period. “I thought we skated a lot harder and our forecheck was really strong today, and definitely backchecking a lot makes a difference and our defensive coverage has to be really good,” said Ramos, a Maxim Lapierre fan who had one assist. “We work a lot in practice on regroups and breakouts and threeon-twos.” Ramos, a Grade 9 St. Thomas More student who turns 15 in early May, said the Preds hope to meet North Shore somewhere in the playoffs after losing a close Vancouver final before provincials. “I think every game we can go better and every game we have improved so we can definitely get even better. It was cool playing the home team. It would be fun hosting it. We’re a really strong team and it showed out there.” Tri-Cities opened play Monday with a 10-0 ambush of the Prince George Cougars after tying Juan de Fuca 2-2 Sunday. Elexa Pakozdy (4), Dove (3+1) and Ramos (1+3) led the Preds past Prince George. The Preds have spent their free time watching game video at their hotel, hanging out and doing dinner at Boston Pizza or White Spot while also making sandwiches at The Prestige. Laker captain Hunter Joseph was pleased with her team’s desire and effort against Tri-Cties. “It was a pretty even game,” said Joseph. “We all felt, as a team, we played well with them. We didn’t really expect that. They got some lucky bounces and we thought that if we could have got one lucky bounce to go our way, it would have been a totally different game. We played with them and

Katie Young pounced on a loose puck with 50 seconds left and buried a wrap-a-around for the winner. The Lakers outshot and outplayed the Cougars for the bulk of the game and took the lead with a shorthanded marker in the second when Olivia Comeau fired a puck glove side on a partial breakaway. Andie Kaneda turned over the puck in the defensive zone and rushed down the ice fighting
off two defenders before sliding the puck to Comeau. Zoey Bartha equalized on a Cougar power play at 14:32 in the third. The Lakers gave up a goal with 63 seconds left in a 3-3 tie with Castlegar Sunday night. Castlegar’s Kendra Waterstreet opened the scoring a minute in, but the Lakers equalized when Comeau scored unassisted on a partial breakaway. Merissa Dawson put the Cats up 2-1, before Comeau scored again, tapping in a great Jenna Fletcher pass. Taylor Vandale flipped in a rebound to put the Lakers ahead 3-2 going into the second intermission. Said Joseph: “We played really hard but we had a couple of lapses out there.” Juan de Fuca was at 2-0-1 going into their final pool game versus Vernon.
Fitzgerald captains Clipper attack Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Trevor Fitzgerald is the B.C. Hockey League’s Gongshow BCHL Player of the Week. The Nanaimo Clipper captain netted a pair of goals, including the overtime winner, to help his team to a two-game series lead in their best-of-five Coastal Conference quarterfinal matchup against the Alberni Fitzgerald Valley Bulldogs. Fitzgerald, an exVernon Viper, also assisted on Nicholas Gushue’s secondperiod powerplay tally. The Dawgs rebounded with a 4-3 win in Game 3 Monday night at Weyerhaeuser Arena. Game 4 went Tuesday night in
Port Alberni. Meanwhile the Penticton Vees were looking for a first-round sweep (Interior series are best-of-sevens, Mainland and Island series are best-of-fives) of the Salmon Arm SilverBacks heading into Game 4 Tuesday night at the Shaw Centre. Fred Harbinson’s Interior-winning Vees recorded back-to-back 4-2 wins Friday and Saturday at the South Okanagan Events Centre before grounding the ‘Backs 3-1 Monday in the Shuswap. Brock Balson, John Siemer and former Viper Jedd Soleway provided the offence in front of Chad Katunar. Cam Berry answered for Salmon Arm, who had Angus Redmond (20 saves) in net. In the other Interior semifinal, the Merritt Centennials parlayed three powerplay goals into a much-needed 4-3 win over the West Kelowna Warriors in Game 3 Monday night at Nicola Valley Arena.
The Cents trailed West Kelowna 2-1 heading into Game 4 Tuesday night in Merritt. Derek Huisman, Regan Soquila, Jeff Wight and Armstrong’s Dylan Chanter scored in support of Vernon netminder Tyler Steel (29 saves). Former Viper Marcus Basara, Daniel Gayle and Ambrose Firkus replied for Rylan Ferster’s Warriors, who were backed by a 44-save effort from Tyler Briggs. In Coastal Division playoff action, former Snake Adam Tambellini scored twice as the Surrey Eagles dumped the Langley Rivermen 6-2 in Game 3. The Eagles lead that series 2-1. The Powell River Kings went up 2-1 on the Victoria Grizzlies with a 3-0 win in Game 3 Monday night on the Sunshine Coast.

KELOWNA – Prior to the start of the season, management and coaches for the Okanagan Rockets had a hunch their team had all the ingredients to win the B.C. Major Midget League title. After taking down the Cariboo Cougars in the league semifinal, the Rockets are now just two wins away from realizing that goal. “We started the year feeling like we had a championship-calibre team and now we get the chance to play for one,” said Rockets’ GM David Michaud. “Its exciting to have all the work rewarded.” The Rockets take on the Vancouver Northwest Giants in the league final series beginning Friday night at Burnaby Winter Club. Game 2 goes Saturday, with a third game, if needed, scheduled for Sunday morning. The Rockets booked their ticket in the final thanks to a two-game sweep of the hometown Cariboo Cougars in Prince George. Against the league’s highest-scoring offence, the Rockets executed a pair of solid defensive efforts into one-goal victories and the team’s first trip to the final since 2008. In the series opener Friday night, the Rockets edged the Cougars 4-3 as Spencer Hewson of Vernon notched the winner. The following afternoon, Hewson
played hero again scoring the decisive goal in the first overtime session as the Rockets triumphed 4-3 to finish Cariboo off in two games. “We knew that we would have to adjust our style and focus on our own end, we were confident that we had the skill to bury our chances when they came to us,” said Michaud. “I’m not sure I would have predicted a sweep, but we will certainly take it.” As for the Giants, Michaud said his team will need to be in top form to challenge for the BCMML title. “Now we will go to work and prepare for a Giants team that is arguably the top midget team in the country,” Michaud said. “With four games against them already in the books, we know the challenges they present, but we also feel like we know what it takes to have success against them. It’s going to be a great championship series.” Dennon Leibel is the other Vernon product with the Rockets. The North Okanagan Black Knights bowed 3-0 to undefeated Valley champion Clearwater Raiders in the Sunday finals of the Winfield Atom Rec Tournament. In opening preliminary play Friday, the Black Knights jolted the Summerland Jets 5-3 on goals from Easton Hunter (2), Darius Maske, Saul Saunders, and Mason Simpson.

IF THEY DEFEND WELL, YOU MUST GUESS WELL
When you are the declarer, sometimes your opponents will defend well and make your life somewhere between difficult and impossible. More often, though, they will not find the best plays, making your task much easier. Take today’s deal as an example. South is in four hearts. After West leads the spade king, what is the best defense? If East and West find that sequence of plays, what is declarer’s correct line mathematically? Three no-trump is easy here, but if South had rebid that, North, with four trumps and a low doubleton, would have corrected to four hearts.
Under West’s spade king, East encourages with his nine. Now West should cash his spade queen, then lead a third spade (preferably the 10 as a suit-preference signal for diamonds, the higher-ranking of the other two side suits) to East’s ace. Then East should shift to the diamond four. South has two lines of play. He can take the diamond finesse -- a straight 50-50 shot. Or he can win with his diamond ace and run all of his trumps, discarding a diamond from the dummy. He gets home if clubs are 3-3 -- a 35.53 percent chance -- or if a defender has four-plus clubs and the diamond king. (He will be squeezed by the last heart.) Even allowing for the squeeze chance, mathematically the diamond
finesse is the better line -- and fails here. However, if West wins the third spade trick and exits with a trump, declarer can cash his trumps, pitching a diamond from the dummy, then check to see if clubs are 3-3. If they are not, South has the diamond finesse as a last resort.

Larry Allen Dyck It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death of Larry Allen Dyck on March 16, 2013 at the age of 66. Larry was born on January 1, 1947 in Gladstone, Manitoba. Being from the prairies, there was always a special place in Larry’s heart for hockey, curling and agriculture. Larry was a standout defenseman for the Brandon Wheat Kings in the 1960s and the sport was a passionate pursuit throughout his life. Larry knew that sports were not what matters most in this world, though, and at the age of 18, Larry committed his life to Jesus Christ and chose his lifelong vocation of being a pastor. To that end, he earned bachelors and masters degrees in divinity at Providence College in Otterburne, MB. In 1968, he caught the eye of one Marilyn Lepp. They were married in August of 1969 and went on to enjoy 43 years of marriage. In the 1970s, Larry served as a pastor in churches in Birch Hills SK, Swan River MB and Winnipeg. In 1977, Larry and family relocated from Winnipeg to Salmon Arm, after being smitten with the beauty of the Shuswap. Larry was the pastor of First Baptist Church (now Shuswap Community Church) from 1977 to 1991 and from 1996 to 2005. Since 2010, he served as the pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Vernon. Larry devoted himself fully to the wellbeing and spiritual growth of the many who attended the churches he led over the years, and he remained invested in the lives of many of them right up until the day of his death. Larry is predeceased by his parents, Peter and Margaret Dyck. Larry is survived by his wife Marilyn, of Salmon Arm. His is also survived by his son Jeff and daughter-in-law Jessica of Surrey, and children Amelia, Simon and Paul. As well, his daughter Janine and children Josiah, Kaley and Hunter of Vernon and his sister Dorothy of Brandon, Manitoba. Larry took great delight in his children and grandchildren and took every opportunity to spend time with them in recent years.

Gerry M. Laarakker,
Q: A:
Is listening to music a challenge with hearing aids?
Music is dynamic with a variable range and higher intensity than speech; therefore an aid must manage the inputs differently. If not handled correctly, the peaks in music can’t pass into the processer- resulting in a distorted sound even before any attempts are made to clean up the signal. Next, most likely everyone has witnessed a hearing aid “whistling” in the ear of a loved one or stranger. So when manufacturers developed “feedback cancellation”, surely they did not anticipate that this would affect music. Traditional feedback cancellation methods would mistake music for feedback due to the loud and sustained nature of musical notes and attempt to cancel them. Good news, current devices on the market can discern the elements of music from feedback using special ‘music’ programs. These features ensure an authentic representation of the music signal and result in your improved enjoyment of music. Discovery Plaza #6, 3100 - 35 St., Vernon

Q: A:
Mortgage Broker
Q: A:
I am planning on buying my first home; it is about 15 years old & appears to be in good condition. My friend who knows about houses looked at it with me & said that it was in good condition. Why would I need a professional home inspection?
Q:
I am thinking about replacing my hot water tank, but was wondering about these “on-demand” water heaters. Should I consider that instead? After space heating, water heating costs are the second largest energy expense for the typical household. Standard storage tank water heaters are still the dominant and most cost-effective water heating appliance being installed today, but the government’s drive to improve efficiency ratings may soon drive up the cost of storage tank water heaters as well. The typical storage tank water heater has an energy factor of .62 to .64 while the newer “on-demand” systems are typically in the .82 to .97 range - a substantial improvement in energy efficiency savings. These “on-demand” systems also typically last twice as long as hot water tanks before needing replacement. Tank-less “on-demand” water heaters do have their draw backs, and may not be the best solution for everyone; however, there is little doubt that they will become the standard water heating technology of the future.

Are there any guidelines that will help us to understand our Credit history?
Most of the large Lenders want to make sure that you have been able to manage your credit cards and loans before determining if you can afford to have a mortgage. If you make your payments on time and do not actively shop for “credit”, such as personal loans, credit cards or even when shopping for a new car … make sure that you are not authorizing many inquiries into your credit history as this can seriously impact your overall score. Here are some helpful hints for managing your credit. 4 35% Your payment history — Pay your bills before the due date. 4 30% How much you owe — Keep balances on credit cards below 50% of your credit limit (lines of credit too). 4 15% Length of your credit history — Rather than let old cards go dormant (no activity will lower your score) gas up your vehicle once and pay it off when you get home. 4 10% Any new credit — Don’t open unnecessary new accounts. When shopping for a vehicle be careful as multiple dealership inquiries will hurt your score. 4 10% Your mix of loans — Make sure you have at least two active accounts with a minimum of $2000 limit. A credit card, car loan and line of credit will help if they are OAC /E&O accepted. managed well.
For most people, buying a home is most likely the largest single purchase they will ever do in their life. Having another opinion is always a good idea; & if that opinion is a professional opinion from someone who is trained in all aspects of home inspections & has the credentials to back it up, that would go a long way in giving you, the purchaser, peace of mind knowing what condition the home was in & what repairs may need to be done down the road or immediately. I have seen homes where a friend recommended that the home be purchased & thousands of dollars needed to be spent to repair what the friend missed, & in one case the house had to be demolished. If you had a health issue would you ask a friend’s opinion or would you go to your doctor? Always seek out the advice and opinions of trained professionals, you will feel a lot safer & it could save you money in the long run, & we all like saving money.
