Landmark provides a century of justice ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
It once housed formal dances along with trials. Lawyers have been known to “rest” there over weekends. Government offices were a fixture. Prisoners were escorted up and down three floors because there was no elevator. Its library, once overflowing with law books, is nearly empty now, a victim of the electronic age. It is, today, where civil, family and criminal disputes are heard. There are hidden stairways, original wood fold-up seats in the Supreme Court gallery, empty offices, and a flooded courtroom being renovated. The Vernon Courthouse has seen so much in 100 years of service. And it could see more if much-desired expansion plans are ever approved and financed. “This used to be the only courthouse in the Interior that had a jury room so you could do jury trials,” said Supreme Court Justice Frank Cole during a tour of the magnificent facility on the northeast corner of 30th Avenue and 27th Street which celebrates its centenary this spring. Thanks to the efforts of Price Ellison, who served as Vernon’s member of the provincial legislature from 1898-1916, including double duty as minister of finance and agriculture in premier Richard McBride’s government, a decision was made to replace Vernon’s existing courthouse built in 1892. That building was a two-storey brick building, the first such brick facility in the Interior, located at the intersection of Coldstream and Barnard Avenues. The new courthouse, announced in Ellison’s budget speech in 1911, would be the second largest courthouse in the province behind Vancouver. According to Edward Mills’ historical report, plans were produced by VancouverVictoria architect Thomas Hooper, and construction was handled by John Burns and Son from Nelson. All material construction was mandated to be local. Locally quarried pink granite from Okanagan Landing was to be used for the exterior walls. while B.C. marble was employed for panelling the lower part of the walls of a courtroom, the main entrance, vestibules and corridors on the basement and main (second) floors (Italian marble, though, was specified for the main staircase steps and flooring tiling). Locally manufactured bricks were used

for internal dividing walls. Interior wood finish and trim was made with B.C. fir. The furnishings for the courtroom and government agent’s office were to be built of white oak. Natural lighting for the court came courtesy of large stained glass windows above the front entrance and by a glass dome overhead. After three years of construction, the new courthouse opened in 1914 and housed administrative and court facilities on its three floors. Total cost: $198,876.10.
Just five years later, in 1919, several structural difficulties were encountered, so renovations were taken in order to fix sagging and settling problems. Since then, there have been a number of renovations to the facility, including the removal of the dome and the addition of the elevator. “We’re always morphing somewhere as needed,” said Sheree Marshall, manager of court registry operations, and a courthouse employee since 1977. A basement courtroom is under repair after having endured a
flood in late 2013. With a number of offices in the courthouse vacant, those in the legal profession would love to see renovations to the existing courthouse, especially with the grand old building turning 100 this year. “The most pressing need is more courtrooms so more judges can sit,” said Mike Yawney, a lawyer with Vernon law firm Nixon-Wenger. “From the bar side of it, for the clients that use this facility, that’s the No. 1 issue. And new rooms could be accommodated, absolutely. There is lots of space to create more courtrooms.” Cole, who was called to the bar on Sept. 15, 1970, started the next day with Davidson and Co. in Vernon, and spent 16 years with Davidson, 15 years with Sigalet, McGuire and Cole and the last 18 years on the bench. He is among those pushing for more space. “In addition to the empty offices, there is the large library that is no longer needed because of the electronic age and a smaller office space would be suitable,” said Cole. “Returning Crown counsel and probation to the courthouse (since moved to downtown offices), the government would save a significant amount of money.”

A Vernon resident hopes to overturn plans to relocate tourism services. Maurie Deaton believes a rezoning public hearing Monday is a chance to tell city hall that relocating the visitors information centre next to Civic Arena is misguided. “This is a chance to have a say,” said Deaton, who owns property in the neighbourhood. Deaton’s primary concern is with more vehicles coming into the neighbourhood. “The amount of traffic on 39th Avenue has increased already and to have trailers (turning off the highway) will back up traffic,” she said. “There are a lot of people who live around there.” Deaton isn’t convinced that converting the current building at 3004 39th Ave. into a tourism booth will benefit restaurants and other businesses. “People won’t wander into town. It’s too hot in the summer and there’s no shade,” she said. Deaton believes the existing tourism booths at the north and south ends of town provide the best access for tourists. “It’s a duplication of service most people are willing to pay,” she said of the city’s contention that merging facilities will reduce operating costs. Coun. Brian Quiring defends the city’s proposal. “We need to do everything we can to bring people into the downtown core,” he said. “Right now, it’s too easy to fly right through Vernon.” He also points out that the RV sani-dump is next to Civic Arena and there is sufficient room for large vehicles to park. Quiring says signage will allow tourists to get off the highway and find the new information centre and he insists that there are problems with vehicles getting to the south tourism booth near the army camp. “It’s a dangerous intersection there.” About $292,215 will be needed to convert the building on 39th Avenue into a tourism information centre. The city is proposing to rezone the site from commercial to public institutional to allow for a tourism booth. The public hearing will be Monday at 5:30 p.m. at city hall.

City pursues Nicol tribute
Along For The ride
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Efforts are underway to provide a lasting tribute to Patrick Nicol. On Monday, Vernon council will consider creating a committee to review public suggestions on how to honour Nicol, who was a councillor for 22 years and died Jan. 15 from cancer. “He was genuinely interested in listening to people and we can’t ignore that,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham of the personal contacts Nicol made with residents. If the committee is formed, Cunningham will serve as chairperson and she will identify residents to parPatrick Nicol ticipate. “Patrick was all about community so we want to invite certain members of the community that represent the broader community,” she said. It’s expected the committee would make a recommendation to council by May 26. Cunningham says there are no preconceived notions as to how a permanent memorial may occur. “Members of the community have already contacted the city with ideas on how to recognize Patrick,” she said. Besides serving on city council, Nicol was chairperson of the Regional District of North Okanagan board, he initiated scholarships for 4-H students, chaired Vernon’s Canada Day festivities and was a former Vernon Winter Carnival chairperson. He also supported organizations like the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary and Vernon Search and Rescue, and was known to many for his on-air activities at Kiss FM.

Push made for improved facility Continued from A1 What is required in Vernon says Cole, is five courtrooms in the Vernon Courthouse to make it suitable for civil trials. A new, standalone building should be built to provide secure facilities for three courtrooms for criminal trials, including one courtroom suitable for jury trials. “The accused, the convicted, Crown counsel, lawyers, the public and judges
all share the same corridors,” said Cole of the existing facility. “That is unsafe for all parties that use the courthouse.” In 2012, 12 trials in Vernon were bumped, or adjourned, because of lack of court space, compared to four cases bumped in Victoria. Cases being adjourned because of a lack of court facility means that the trial is delayed or has to be moved to Kamloops or Kelowna.

About 10 trials scheduled for Vernon in 2012 were moved to those cities. “It is unfair for the people of this community to have to absorb the extra cost and inconvenience of travelling to Kelowna when proper court facilities should be here in Vernon,” said Cole. The Vernon Bar Association, in conjunction with Law Days, will hold a special celebration of the Vernon Courthouse in April.

Utility considers water extension RICHARD ROLKE

be five or six more,” he said. “They want to join the service and they have a right to join it.” Many of the properties that are within GVW but do not use GVW either are on wells or have private utilities. In some cases, the systems are failing or need costly upgrades. Sawatzky’s goal is to extend water to these areas but not at the expense of existing GVW customers. Sawatzky originally pushed for a staff report within 30 days. “If you don’t have water, it’s very time sensitive and there are properties that have wanted water for three years,” he said. “We also had this discussion in September.” Other GVAC members didn’t support the 30-day timeline. “I don’t want to take staff away from what they’re currently doing,” said director Mike Macnabb of the 2014 budget and water rates. Ultimately, it was decided to have a staff report within 60 days.

Limited reopening for library Morning Star Staff
There’s good news for library enthusiasts. Two weeks after a pipe burst causing extensive flooding, there will be limited public access to the Vernon branch of Okanagan Regional Library starting Monday. “ORL is committed to providing service to our patrons and the staff at the Vernon Branch is taking extraordinary steps to mitigate any inconvenience and disruption,” said Tara Thompson, head librarian. Since the flood Feb. 10, residents have
only been able to drop off books and pick up holds. Most of the main floor won’t be accessible Monday because of ongoing repairs so programming will be held on the second floor, as will a portion of the children’s and teen collection. Regular hours will be in effect. Some programming will be affected due to logistics and details about programs can be found at www.orl.bc.ca/ branches/vernon. The restoration company estimates the main floor will be closed for a number of weeks still as drywall, insulation and car-
peting is replaced. On Monday, Vernon Friends of the Library will provide coffee, juice and cookies in the lobby to celebrate the partial opening. “I didn’t understand the devastation the flood had caused until I was able to tour the library on Monday,” said Linda Wills, Friends of the Library president. “The staff have been working under terrible conditions, yet they are still positive and friendly. Their first concern has been how to serve library patrons as best they can during this disruption. So this partial reopening is fantastic news.”

Rush, formerly of Sun Life, engaged in securities related business not pertaining to Sun Life by recommending, referring, selling or facilitating the sale of securities to two Shuswap clients, possibly two other clients and 11 other individuals outside of Sun Life. Rush also continued in another gainful occupation that was not disclosed to and approved by Sun Life. He failed to comply with Sun Life’s policies and procedures with respect to engaging in outside business activities. The panel also found Rush failed to cooperate with an investigation. Rush has been permanently prohibited from conducting securities-related business in any capacity while in the employ or associated with any MFDA member. He was fined $90,000 and ordered to pay costs of $10,000 associated with the investigation and hearings. “The misconduct is very serious,” wrote the panel in its decision. “The respondent (Rush) recommended and sold investments that were not authorized by Sun Life. Those investments were later found by the relevant securities commission to be a fraud and an illegal distribution. “It ought to have been apparent to any trained and qualified investment professional that the investments were entirely inappropriate and ought not to have been sold to anyone.” The Shuswap couple said they lost their entire investment of $19,000. The incident happened between January and November 2007. Rush, who had been an approved MFDA member for 32 months, which, according to the panel, constitutes a “moderate level of experience,” had not been the subject of any prior disciplinary proceedings. Two hearings were held in July and November of 2013. Rush did not appear at either hearing.

Students share insight Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff
Admitted social media addicts, Jen Proce and Kaely Johnson are checking in online an average of 30 times a day. It’s not an unusual number for teens, who nowadays have the internet at their fingertips, with smart phones equipped with quick access apps to their favourite social media sites. “It’s so addictive, so highly addictive,” said Johnson of checking status’ and updating their own on sites such as Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter. Parents struggling to understand the wide world of web that their kids are immersed in have a chance to learn from the very experts. Proce and Johnson will present a parents guide to social media Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Vernon Secondary School. “We’re not claiming to be specialists on this but we have the insight, we’re part of the generation,” said Johnson. “So we want to share that.” The two Kalamalka Secondary Grade 12 students made a similar presentation to their school’s PAC a month ago. But Wednesday’s talk will be more in depth. For many parents, there are concerns about young people sharing too much information online or inappropriate content. Proce warns: “It’s

never private, once it’s out there, it’s out there.” While there are those that use social media inappropriately, Proce and Johnson say for the most part it’s about staying connected, having a place to express themselves and it’s fun. “A lot of it is entertainment,” said Proce. “A lot of it is so innocent.” Social media can also be a useful tool for school. “You can use so many of them for homework and clubs to communicate,” said Proce, who recalls her teacher tweeting updates from their trip to Panama. The sites can also be a place where one’s selfesteem can be boosted or brought drastically down (depending on the number of likes or comments one gets from a photo). “It can be positive or negative,” said Proce,
adding: “People take it too seriously.” But hiding behind a screen also presents an opportunity for some frightening circumstances. The 17-year-olds explain how a girl they know added someone who she thought was a friend on Snapchat. The ‘friend’ invited her to meet up in the McDonald’s parking lot, where she discovered it was not who she thought it was, but luckily she was smart enough to bring a friend with her which scared the impersonator off. “People can impersonate and pretend they’re someone they’re not over social media,” said Johnson, adding that the variety of sites also allow people to ‘creep’ others (snoop out their pictures, profiles and private information). “I’m being a lot more
careful and aware,” said Proce. The pair of local teens hope the information they share at the presentation will help parents better understand the sites, along with the lingo, and how to approach their kids about it. “I think it’s a balance between complete control and ignoring it,” said Johnson.

And the loser is...us
o you recognize the names Guy Perillat and Milorad Cavic? They came in second to Olympic gold medalists JeanClaude Killy and Michael Phelps, respectively, each by a single hundredth of second. Or as it’s called in the real world, a tie. If the time clock was measured in tenths of a second, or even fiftieths of a second, Killy and Perillat would have tied in the 1968 Winter Games. They both would have received gold medals and become darlings of the ‘60s jet set. Phelps and Cavic might both be starring in Subway commercials if they had tied in the 100-meter butterfly in London in 2012. Instead, Cavic lost by Jim Mullen 0.01 of a second. By contrast, Usain Bolt won the gold in London by beating Yohan Blake in the 100meter sprint by just over one-tenth of a second, and even to the untrained eye, it was an obvious victory. It wasn’t even close. You could see who won easily, without debate, no photo finish required. There are a great many good things about keeping hyper-accurate time. It’s good for training and it’s good for the record books. But in competitions, hypersensitive timekeeping makes being 0.01 of a second behind the “winner” somewhat like being a Soviet politician in the Cold War who falls out of favor. You’re removed from the history books; your name is never spoken again. You become a nonperson. Sports seems to be one of the few human endeavors that hates a tie -- someone has to win. Why? A lot of people would go to a movie that starred Julia Roberts or Meryl Streep. But they would also go to a movie that starred Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. They’re both winners. There is no second place. In show business, there are lots of win-

ners; hundreds of stars can walk down the red carpet at the Academy Awards and they’ll all get the over-the-top celebrity treatment. But if gold and silver Olympians walk into an event, the silver medalist may as well be in the witness protection program for all the attention he won’t get. He’ll never see his face on a Cheerios box; he won’t be in TV ads; he won’t get as many sponsors. Contestants that get kicked off “Survivor” on their very first week will get a publicist and an agent to paw through their offers to appear on morning shows and at state fairs. It gets even stranger if you compare someone who comes in second at the Olympics to, say, the 71st best TV sportscaster in the country, who is treated like the Sun King. He doesn’t have to be first, second or third best. He just has to be on TV. People take him to lunch, they send him trinket-loaded swag bags and he plays free rounds of pro-am golf at all the best courses. He gets asked for autographs and begged to heal sick relatives with his magic touch. But he thinks that the guy who comes in third in the downhill is a bum -- someone who didn’t try hard enough. Now, don’t misunderstand me: I’m not for lowering the standards of sports. Trying your hardest and never giving up are admirable qualities, but most of us do that every single day without expecting a medal for it. For the gold, you can’t just be good at something -- you have to be the best. Most gold medalists win by remarkable margins; they dominate their competition. If Phelps and Cavic had tied, Phelps still would have come home with a remarkable and record-breaking eight gold medals -- a performance that may never be duplicated. Killy would still have the three golds he won in 1968 as well as a couple of World Cups. Nothing would change for those two, but it might have for their competitors.

The Vernon Courthouse is a majestic landmark that all of us can take pride in. Try to imagine how impressive it must have been to area residents when it opened its doors in 1914 – its imposing presence and perfect location standing guard over its environment, sending all the right signals about justice for all. One hundred years later, it is still an impressive building with its granite columns and stairs standing the test of time and relaying a similar, if maybe a little muted by the ongoing traffic below, message of standing tall for all who enter her doors. However, its towering nature hides the fact that after 10 decades of serving the North Okanagan, the building is more than just showing its age, especially once you enter its doors. There are plans to deal with security issues, an outdated library and new court rooms that could address the problem of backlogs and potentially cases being moved elsewhere, but it needs approval, and, of course, funding. It certainly seems appropriate, in the year of its centennial, not to mention in honour of its decades of dedicated service, that the Vernon Courthouse be given priority status by the provincial government. If Victoria is looking for the perfect feel-good photo op for a funding announcement, may we suggest trying the stairs of the Vernon Courthouse this spring. In the meantime thanks has to go to the politicians and architects and workers who had the talent and the vision to pull off such an amazing feat 100 years ago. Happy birthday Vernon Courthouse and here’s to many more majestic years of service.

Wrong location for tourist booth
have been reading with interest, many letters about the tourism booth relocation and feel I must also speak. Looking at the Tourism Vernon website, it states, "conveniently located" on Highway 97. That's right, highway exposure and access, easy for all. Why do you think all of the hotel chains and restaurants want on the main strip? Accessibility, brand recognition and convenience. I happened to drive down the avenue that the booth is to relocate to. I was shocked at the location. Who the heck is going to pull in there? And if they have a large rig or trailer, how can they turn around? They'll have to take a scenic tour over to 27th Street and head north or south and try to get back to the highway.
PRO AMALGAMATION Residents of Coldstream and those living in the two regional district areas (B and C) are totally against amalgamating with the City of Vernon. Why? Well if they stay out of the city they can continue to use Vernon arenas, many ballfields, library, curling rink, Polson Park, the recreation complex, etc. I could go on and on. I recall in 1973, the-then NDP government, without a referendum, announced that Kelowna, Rutland and Okanagan Mission would amalgamate and become the present City of Kelowna. Was this a success? Definitely, as today Kelowna is one of the most successful and third largest city in the province. Come on BX and Coldstream, wake up and amalgamate as soon as possible. A small tax increase is no reason not to do so. D. M. Ross ENOUGH ALREADY A question for Bruce Shepherd, of the Greater Vernon Governance Society, when is enough, enough? Please explain, why is it felt helpful for your next foray to continue beating the amalgamation dead horse this time around? MLA Eric Foster has publicly stated the provincial government won't assist you, and that Coldstream council members acted properly.
Moving the renowned Watson House to its current location was a major expense and it is serving its purpose well. Why change it? And the north-end booth has great access as well. How many cities offer two tourism booths? Not many, at least not in our area. We are lucky to have two of them, both being very identifiable and at convenient locations. How insane to even think you should reduce to one booth and move it out of eyesight. And what to do with the renowned Watson House? Want to move it again? Hello Vernon, goodbye tourists. Give your heads a shake. Nancy Roman (formerly with the Greater Vernon Tourism Association in the 1990s)
What good - or ill - will is being created, by continuously touting that 816 Coldstream voters signed your amalgamation petition? Why not instead highlight the fact that the other 89 per cent of Coldstream voters, more than 6,500 people, refused to sign? Given that Vernon city council recently opted to take no action when presented with a (public transit) petition signed by 3,191 people, why do you feel the puny number of 816 to be so significant? Continuously stirring an amalgamation tempest in the wee public teapot has surely become counterproductive to your goal by now, hasn't it? So, instead, why not personally campaign as candidate for a seat on Coldstream council in the upcoming November election? Jerry Reitman MIXED MESSAGE Recently, Vernon city council voted unanimously to request that the provincial government fund a study on governance options for Greater Vernon. For those of us that think that decisions on how we are governed should be based on sound and unbiased information, its action was gratifying. That satisfaction, however, has proved to be short lived. At a more recent gathering at the regional district, as reported in The Morning Star, by unanimous vote, the regional district board of directors declined to forward a request to the ministry to fund a study on governance in Greater Vernon.
To this more than casual observer, this decision did not come as a surprise but why was the motion unopposed? It seems that the members of Vernon city council who serve as directors did an about face and joined with others at the regional table in supporting the negative motion put forward by the electoral areas. I know the argument can be made that their support of the electoral advisory recommendation was just defending the electoral areas B and C right to refuse to request the study and avoid the appearance of democratic bullying. But if persuasion and argument did not lead the electoral areas to change their mind on the matter of the governance study why did Vernon's directors capitulate and vote for the motion and perhaps weaken the power of their own request to the provincial government? They missed a chance to affirm their decision to request a study on governance. Instead, they seem too willing to dance to the tune at the regional district table. But in so doing, they forget who brought them to the party in the first place. Surely it is not unreasonable for the citizens of Vernon to expect some consistency with previously taken decisions when our elected officials are at the regional district? In my opinion, the credibility of Vernon's present regional district directors comes into question. To what degree do they actually represent Vernon at the regional table?
I am confused by this mixed message sent by the Vernon directors. They did an about face after their efforts at persuasion fell upon deaf ears. Why give up? Perhaps, in reality, our own representatives wish the whole issue of Greater Vernon governance would just go away. That seems to be the message they are sending by their recent actions. Actions always speak louder than words. Shawn Lee

Vipers punch playoff ticket KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Nobody figured it would take until Game 55 for the Vernon Vipers to clinch a B.C. Hockey League playoff spot. The Royal Bank Cup hosts recruited an ultratalented team, but the rest of the Interior Conference also iced superb rosters, creating the closest postseason race in decades. Needing a single digit to make the post-season for the first time in three years, the Vipers brushed back the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 3-2 in overtime before 1,990 fans Friday night at Kal Tire Place. Vernon, who hosted the Division-leading Penticton Vees Saturday night, and visit the cellar-dwelling Trail Smoke Eaters Wednesday night, should finish a solid third. Who they face in round 1 is undetermined with the Vees holding a two-point cushion on the second-place West Kelowna Warriors after both teams posted wins Saturday night. The fourth dance partner will be either the SilverBacks or Merritt Centennials. The Cents lost 5-3 to West Kelowna so went into Saturday’s road date with Salmon Arm four points ahead and the Gorillas holding one game in hand. Alternate captain Brendan Persley is in his third season with the Snakes but wasn’t bringing up the last two losing years. “I don’t think the guys are too worried about what happened in the past,” said Persley, who blocked LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR shots and tossed some heavy hits all night.

Panthers grab provincial berth Morning Star Staff
The VSS Panthers have qualified for the B.C. Senior AA Girls Basketball Championships for the third straight year. The Cats will move to the provincials, March 7-10, at the Langley Events Centre after posting two wins at the Valley playdowns at Princess Margaret Secondary in Penticton. VSS met the Sa-Hali Sabres of Kamloops for the Valley title Saturday night. VSS grounded the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna 72-32 Friday night, blowing open an early 12-9 lead with a 16-2 run. Jordyn Cullum and Jordan Korol each drained a dozen points, while Megan Prentice and Jessica Melvin chipped in with nine points apiece. “The score was deceiving as it was a more competitive game than it shows as the pesky Huskies made us earn everything they got,” said VSS coach Lonny Mazurak. “The girls’ execution on defence in the half court was exeptional all game (Huskies only made 10 field goals all game) and played a key role in the victory.” In opening play Thursday, the Panthers

There are 10 Vernon players on the Zone 2 entry, who beat the Northwest 11-1 in their opener. Maegan Beres gave Vancouver-Squamish a 1-0 first-period lead. “We weren’t working too well as a team, playing a little too scrambly,” said Thompson-Okanagan forward Makenna Fitzgerald. They fixed it up nicely in the middle frame, scoring three unanswered goals. Fitzgerald got them started.
“We went down the side, made a few nice passes and someone (defenceman Makenna Hoffman of Vernon) shot it and I got the rebound,” said Fitzgerald, of Kamloops. “We calmed things down and made a lot better passes in the second period.” Vernon’s Emily Clarke and Juli Gilowski also tallied for Zone 2. That lead stood up until the final minute. Pressing hard, Vancouver-Squamish blueliner Carmen Wong scored with 27 seconds left.
Salmon Arm visits the Cents Wednesday night so need a sweep to stand a chance at the playoffs. They also face the Vees in a home and home series so somewhat control their fate. “Hy p ot h e t i c a l ly,” said Mick. “You gotta get win games to get in and that’s why that call hurts, but again, we got a point in a tough rink against a good hockey team so we gotta take it all positive and get ready for tomorrow night” SNAKE BITES: The Vipers went with 10 veteran forwards and used North Okanagan Knights affiliate Blaine Caton sparingly...

Michael Statchuk, who has played every position but net this season, was awarded the Wayne Buck Memorial Award for hard work and unselfish play. Bucky’s widow, Sharon, picked the winner. Wayne, a former Viper public address announcer, died in 2009...Brett Mennear’s thirdperiod goal was the Warriors’ winner over the Centennials. Adam Tracey and Sam Johnson scored for Merritt to get them back within one but Adam Osczevski got insurance with just under four minutes left. Andy Desautels made 41 saves for the win... Brett Beauvais scored twice in the third period to key a come-frombehind 4-2 win for the Vees over the visiting Smokies Scott Davidson and Jesse Knowler scored 1:35 apart in the middle frame to put the Smokies up two going into the third.

Back, Neck, and Hip Pain: Catch it Early! Spinal pain is often noticed weeks, months, and sometimes years after the underlying problem actually began. Pain is like a ringing fire alarm that is triggered once the nerves are adequately irritated, which sometimes takes years. The key lies in identifying what the underlying problem is—what’s causing the pain. There are dozens of tiny spinal joints in your back and neck. They can become misaligned, or subluxated, by all kinds of stressors: poor posture, falls from playground equipment or down stairs, sport tackles, long hours of sitting, car accidents, and even the birthing process (often called “birth trauma,” and for good reason!). Spinal inflammation often begins painlessly and is your body’s attempt to heal the irritation. As the inflammation mounts, and more and more damage is done by the grinding pressure of the misalignment, chemicals are released by the surrounding tissue to irritate the nerves for one important reason—to cause the damaged area to hurt so that you become aware of the problem! Chiropractors are trained in spine, nerve, and joint health. We help by retraining the spine to a more optimal position, freeing nerves and joints of damaging stress so your body can heal properly. If these problems are caught early, years of chronic pain may be avoided. Chiropractor’s often see disillusioned patients who are tired of taking drugs, their tests all clear, and are living in pain not knowing where to turn. Maybe something is causing the problem that can be overcome. Written by Dr. Elliot Lysyk

An innovative tenure David LaHay dances off into the sunset on final tour with Ballet Kelowna Morning Star Staff
Glenna Turnbull PhoToGraPhy
Ballet Kelowna dancer Clare Bassett performs in Innovation, featuring six dance pieces vowing to challenge the ideas of contemporary ballet, at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday, March 1.
It will be a fond farewell to an Okanagan dance legend when David LaHay, founding artistic director of Ballet Kelowna, says goodbye the best way he knows how, through the art of movement. LaHay is directing his last performance with Ballet Kelowna before his retirement as David LaHay the company starts its tour of new production Innovation. The tour’s first stop is Saturday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, where, fittingly, Ballet Kelowna held its inaugural show more than 11 years ago. After its near collapse last year, LaHay, promises this to be the crowning achievement of his success with the company. “(This program) will touch and move everyone in the theatre without speaking a word because that is how powerful dance is,” he said. Expect more than tiaras and tutus from this most important season for Ballet Kelowna. Innovation features six dancers and six unique choreographed works that vow to challenge the ideas of contemporary ballet, said LaHay. The first piece, I Remember You, is being remounted from the company’s first commissioned work back in 2005 by former Ballet BC star Simone Orlando and LaHay. “It’s the perfect opportunity to revel in
this well-loved piece while enjoying subtle new changes to the choreography that come with the strengths and experiences of the new dancers,” said LaHay. The second work is from Mozart’s inspirational Exsultate, Jubilate The crystal clear sound of the soprano voice combined with the precision and grace of the talented performers is truly a delight that LaHay assures “will leave you feeling uplifted and joyous.” For the company he founded, LaHay’s final choreography will stand third in the program. A collaboration with Kelowna composer Neville Bowman, the number features a catchy jazz score that inspires compelling movements of the dancers on stage; a creative masterpiece for the ears and eyes. Next, a bit of humour tumbles into the program when former Ballet Kelowna dancer Raelyn Heple sets a piece just for the ladies. It’s an opportunity for Heple to display her talent with her former colleagues. The choreography of Kay Armstrong, a Vancouver dance icon of times past, is showcased in an excerpt from Quatre études de Rythme, an important ballet from 1949. Québécois singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault sets a playful tone for the last piece of the evening: a fun skating pas de deux. Next year will see the company with a new artistic director, a new energy, new vision, new collaborations, and new dancers. The new season promises to continue walking the cutting edge of contemporary ballet by mixing up the program and adding new repertoire. Ballet Kelowna’s performance Saturday, March 1 at 8 p.m. is the fourth of five shows in the Performing Arts Centre society’s 201314 dance series. Tickets are $30/adult, $27/ senior, $25/student available through the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW (7469) or online at www.ticketseller.ca
Getting to know: Beamer Wigley
Ed note: After a short break, The Morning Star resumes the Q&A sessions with local musicians conducted by Grade 12 Kalamalka Secondary student Aniko Forgo. eamer Wigley is an 11-year-old singer/songwriter from Penticton, who has been singing and performing since the age of seven. In addition, he takes musical theatre and guitar lessons weekly. He also loves to act and recently performed as Gavroche in the Soundstage production of Les Misérables in Penticton. Q: How did you discover your passion for music?
B
A: “I’ve always loved music. My lullaby was Santana when I was a baby, so I guess it just started from there.” Q: What types of instruments do you play and how old were you when you learned to play them? A: “My first instrument was drums. I was three and I would take out all my mom’s pots and pans and use them as drums with wooden spoons. When I broke the last set of her wooden spoons, they decided they better buy me a drum set. I still have those spoons framed. When I was five, I heard Keith Urban and Brad Paisley play. I loved what they did so I asked for a guitar and that was how it all start-
ed. When I was seven, I got a keyboard for my birthday so I taught myself how to play. I learned to play a bass when I was nine. Finally, when I was 10 I learned to play mandolin and now I am learning violin. My best instrument is my voice, which I learned how to use when I was seven.” Q: Is anyone in your family musical? A: “My sister is an incredible musician. Unfortunately she has stage fright. My whole family enjoys music so it is a kind of a musical family. I play, they listen.”

Young musician stars as Gravroche in Les Mis Continued from A14 Q: What made you decide to enter the competition Our Kids Have Talent (which was held in Vernon from 2009 to 2013.) How has that helped you grow as an artist? A: “I had never been in a musical competition before and I thought it would be fun. It was the first time I was on a stage and I loved it. It was because of that first competition that I learned to sing. It has given me lots of opportunities to perform and performing helps me grow. So yes, Our Kids Have Talent has helped me grow as an artist.” Q: Can you tell me about the role you played in the stage production of Les Misérables? A: “(Gavroche) is a poor street kid. He was the leader of the street urchins. Gavroche helped in the barricade in the French revolution. He dies in the battle retrieving ammunition.” Q: I saw that you got to attend a music boot camp in Nashville. How was that experience for you? A: “It was an amazing experience meeting all the other artists. Everyone got to perform for major producers and to be critiqued by them.
I am going back in July for a longer boot camp.” Q: What is your favourite original song that you’ve recorded? A: “My favourite song that I have recorded is Beginning of The Road. It is a song about how I feel about my music. Q: What advice would you give to other young musicians that wish to pursue a career in the music industry? A: “Stay true to yourself. Be who you are, not who people want you to be. Be prepared to work. This is not a game you play, this is real hard work. Always give your best; you never know who is in the audience. Be respectful and stay humble.” Q: What is the hardest part of being in the music industry? A: “The hardest part of being in the music industry is knowing who is a real friend and has your best interests, or do they just want to use you. There will always be people in the music industry that you have to watch out for. There are bullies in and out of the music industry.” Q: Is there another person in the music industry that you look up to as a mentor? A: “I don’t have a mentor, but I do have a wonderful vocal coach and guitar teacher. I
Artist returns to UBCO to launch new book Morning Star Staff
Sarah Burwash returns to UBC’s Okanagan campus Monday as a visiting artist.

eter Lake (Colin Farrell) is a mechanic and parttime burglar living in New York near the end of the 19th century. When he breaks into an impressive estate that appears empty, he discovers Taylor and Howe a beautiful young woman, Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay), who is dying of consumption. They fall in love in the brief amount of time she has left. After her death, Lake is confronted by Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe), an Irish demon who believes he has thwarted Lake’s God-given gift as a miracle worker, as he was unable to save his beloved Beverly. However, Lake continues to live on, much like Soames, without ageing. When Soames throws Lake off the Brooklyn bridge, the seemingly immortal Lake forgets his purpose in this life. In the year 2014, Lake rediscovers his purpose in the proper use of his miracle. We say, “It’s about how we’re all miracles waiting to happen.” TAYLOR: This is a fun, rich, interesting film that is being completely mis-marketed as some kind of weird romantic movie. It is not your typical romance. It has romantic moments, but really, is a much larger film in scope, about good and evil.

Russell Crowe and Colin Farrell are living metaphors in Winter’s Tale. HOWE: As the old saying goes, don’t judge a movie by its trailer. I wasn’t looking forward to this week’s review as we had to pick either Endless Love or Winter’s Tale. Oh no, not two love stories in one week. Luckily (or not so luckily,) we also had Robocop to split them up, so we tossed a coin to decide what we would also see. After leaving the theatre, two words came to mind summing up the movie, pleasantly surprised. TAYLOR: I too was surprised to find myself enjoying this film in short order. I thought I was going to see some film about an inappropriate relationship between a greasy pedophile and some young girl. Another one of those “love finds a way to take this situation from
gross to beautiful,” like any movie made from a Nicholas Sparks novel (excluding The Notebook.) However, within 10 minutes I had no idea what was going on and more importantly, I wanted to know. The mysterious aspect of this tale is what holds your attention, then it is the magic of the story that provides the payoff. Going into this film blind is rewarding, but because of it not being marketed as a deeper, more spiritual film, I fear this great little movie will fall by the wayside. HOWE: One thing that has impressed me the last couple of movies that featured Farrell was his acting ability. In Winter’s Tale you can feel his pain at the loss of his loved one. Hopefully he doesn’t go back to making dross like Miami Vice or Total Recall

because that would be a waste of his talent. TAYLOR: That’s true. Farrell has found a niche that suits him well, damaged goods. I’m now curious to see if he can play other characters too. Winter’s Tale also contains some really impressive cameo appearances. I don’t want to spoil the surprises in store for viewers, so let me just say, if you’re at all interested in a strange, poetic twisting of very old themes, wrapped up in a sappy movie about true love, this film won’t disappoint. –Taylor gives Winter’s Tale 3 terrible “Oirish” accents out of 5. – Howe gives it 3.5 rubies out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Live Well
HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist CHRIS SHIDELER
Meditation goes back thousands of years to Buddhist India. It is practiced today in Canada and one doctor studied the effect meditation on high blood pressure. He taught a group of people to include yoga and meditation in their daily routine. Although his results didn’t show any lowering of blood pressure, the participants noted that it helped them relax and live with less stress. That’s a good outcome. In moving a baby from the bottle or breast to a cup, sippy cups are often used and work well. But they shouldn’t be overused. Allowing the child to drink all day from the cup filled with sugary drinks allows sugar to stay in the mouth longer increasing the risk of dental decay. Used too often can possibly alter the position of the teeth. By the time the child is 2 - 3 years old, the shippy cup should be gone. There is a link between the amount of alcohol a person drinks daily and the risk of getting certain types of cancers. The more you drink (wine, beer or spirits) the greater your risk of liver, mouth, colon and breast cancer. The risk of other cancers also rises. Bad breath is something that happens to others. But if it does happen to you, check your oral hygiene. Brush your teeth and tongue after eating. Floss well at lease once daily. Dry mouth can contribute to bad breath so drink plenty of water. And if you are a smoker, quit. For advice on treating dry mouth, special dental aids or mouth washes, talk to our pharmacy staff. We’d be glad to help.

YOUR LAND OR MY LAND? © Janice Mucalov, LL.B.
Say there’s a fence, retaining wall and cedar hedge separating your pool from your neighbour’s backyard. You’d think the pool is yours, right? But what if it turns out the fence was mistakenly put up on your neighbour’s land, years before you bought – so the fence, hedge, wall and part of your pool are actually sitting on your neighbour’s land? The BC Supreme Court recently had to deal with such an unhappy “encroachment” situation in Kelowna. Here, neither the Mortons (all names changed) nor the Edgars, who bought the neighbouring property later, had bothered to get a proper survey done before buying. Both simply assumed that the fence (put up by the Naylors, who sold the Mortons their place) followed the lot line.
The Mortons said it would cost them over $50,000 to re-build a new pool on their own property, and another $50,000-plus to get rid of everything else. To help out, the Edgars agreed they could deal with the fence, landscaping and retaining wall themselves, cutting the Mortons’ cost in half. The court found that both the Edgars and the Mortons were misled by the way the lots looked when they each bought. But when the Mortons bought, they got a statutory declaration from the Naylors with a “home-made” survey attached, locating the pool on the Morton lot. But even a quick glance at the survey showed it wasn’t an official document. The pool and its supposed distance from the lot line were hand-drawn on it later (apparently by the Naylors) – the pool was even shown as rectangular, not kidneyshaped, like the actual pool. So its reliability was questionable.
After the Edgars bought, they wanted to develop their backyard. During the building permit process it came to light that a pieshaped piece of land beyond the end, the court the fence, over 1,600 square Kylie Walman In decided that the Mortons feet, actually belonged to had to remove the pool and them. Part of the Mortons’ deck encroachment, and pool and pool deck, a retaining wall, could remove the other encroachments cedar hedge and fence sat on this wedge too if they wanted. The Edgars were belonging to the Edgars. thus able to go ahead with their plans. The Mortons wanted to buy this chunk The Mortons would have to try and of land. But the Edgars needed it recover their losses from the Naylors, for themselves, so they could build who had put in the original pool, a gazebo, waterfall and gardens as retaining wall and landscaping. planned. There was no other space for Saving money by not getting a proper those once they put in their own pool. survey (or title insurance) when buying So the Edgars asked the court for or re-developing a property may be removal of the Mortons’ pool penny-wise but pound-foolish. encroachment.

larger water connections required for sprinklering fail,” said Baker. “We are concerned about the very real landslide risks in our hillside community and other property damage when the required larger water connections inevitably fail over time.” Sprinklers could also force the municipality to upgrade water infrastructure to address increased pressure. To express its concern, Lake Country council is asking the Southern Interior Local Government Association to support a resolution that calls for municipalities with volunteer fire departments to maintain 15-minute response times. “Recognizing that we are balancing several conflicting aspects of safety, we respectfully ask that you allow the District of Lake Country to continue with our current 15-minute fire department response time in order to meet the building code requirements,” said Baker in his letter to Bennett.
Growers oppose program Morning Star Staff
Plans for an apple research and promotion agency have been shot down. A total of 269 growers took part in the vote on a proposed apple industry development council for B.C. There were 135 yes votes and 133 no votes, but a minimum of 65 per cent positive votes was required for the plan to be forwarded to the agriculture minister. “While the BCFGA hoped the initiative would pass, it is clear that the industry is not, ready for an apple research and promotion agency,” said Fred Steele, B.C. Fruit Growers Association president.

The hip hop swagger of farm town kids made a big impression on those from the big city. Armstrong’s Pleasant Valley Secondary School Adrenaline Dance Team competed in Richmond on Family Day at the High School High Hip Hop Dance competition at the River Rock theatre, attended by 15 teams from high schools from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and PVSS. Adrenaline, coached by teacher Janet Gillis, took first place in the Open and Hip Hop Divisions, and won the Top Dance Team trophy awarded to the team that receives the highest score in the entire competition. “It was quite a big accomplishment for the team as they are all rookies, so to speak, as there was no team last year because I took a year off from teaching,” said Gillis. The team is made up of 22 girls and three boys in Grades 11 and 12. At the River Rock, PVSS placed first in the Open Division, a division for any style of dance other than hip hop. “We performed an African-themed piece entitled Spirit of Freedom and scored 94 per cent,” said Gillis, who choreographed the dance along with Adrenaline alumni Alina Andrushko and Krystine Lucas. “The judges loved the high energy of the piece, the colorful costumes and the engaging performance of the dancers.” In the Hip Hop division, Adrenaline placed first again with a score of 98 per cent for its nerdthemed piece based on the TV show The Big Bang Theory. The piece was choreographed by Gillis and alumna Cera Bollo. “The judges loved the performance and our best comment was from one judge who said, ‘I would pay money to see that performance again,’” said Gillis. “The last time we won this division at this same competition was three years ago, so it was nice to win it again. We beat out 11 other schools to win this division, no small feat considering the Lower Mainland schools tend to have more swagger in the hip hop genre.” Adrenaline dance team will unveil its newest piece themed around the ever popular book-movie The Hunger Games at its next competition.

“Smaller working farms in B.C. have been struggling financially because of numerous changes in provincial legislation, a large increase in land values an aging generation of farmers as well as other hardships,” said Hanoski. The township unanimously supported the resolution, which reads that UBCM lobby the ministry of agriculture and the Agricultural Land Commission to allow a permanent second residence to a maximum of 2,000 square feet and away from viable farmland. The move would help supplement farm income and provide accommodations for aging family members. “The permanent second residence and existing second residences could be used by family members or retiring farmers who want to remain on the farm,” said Hanoski. “It could also be used for renters which allows for an additional source of income. That would help small farms remain in operation.”

BC Student Voice representatives took on a difficult topic, Teen Suicide, and came up with some constructive suggestions. Representatives to the BC Student Voice Okanagan Forum held at the Schubert Centre will have their comment forwarded to the provincial forum and then to the Ministry of Education where it will be considered in policy decisions. “Every year, I’m amazed at what these students have to tell us on the topics, what we are doing right and what else we have to do,” said Malcolm Reid, Fulton secondary school principal and Okanagan Student Voice teacher representative, as he welcomed the representatives. Fulton secondary student Jon Kohut explained to the students why it is so important that they have this opportunity to speak out on their concerns. “It’s incredible. Student Voice has given me the opportunity to be able to talk openly about student problems with like-minded people,” he said. “This (suicide) is a massive topic that we do deal with in school and everyday life and we can work together to make school and our lives better.” The students broke into smaller groups to write their ideas in response to the first question, “Why is the topic of suicide and mental illness untalkable? Why do you think we are talking about it today?” Some of the student responses: “People don’t want to think that their words and actions might bring someone to the point where they would rather take their own lives than survive (response to reports of some students committing suicide after various kinds of bullying).” “Everyone knows someone who has been suicidal or has lost someone to suicide.” “People need to speak out instead of hide and be quiet.” “Social media does not take the problem seriously.” The representatives then watched a video of Kevin Breel of Vancouver, a teen talking about his struggles with depression and near suicide. “Depression is not just normal sadness, real depression is being sad when things are going right in your life,” he said. “Every 30 seconds somewhere in the world, someone takes their own life because of depression. I was depressed and there was a lot of fear and shame and stigma. I thought the only way out was suicide. “We are so accepting of every body part breaking down except the brain. Depression is a sickness and we can’t expect to find answers about depression and suicide if we’re still afraid to ask the questions.” See the whole video and other similar ones at TED.com. The second question for discussion was, “What kind of support services are available for students who are struggling with mental illness or suicidal thoughts? List ones which are helpful and not helpful and why.” The students agreed that school counselors, because of their training and experience, and teachers, because of their concern for students, could be the best resource or make things worse. “Counselors can really help but being known to be talking to a counselor could cause some people to start rumours that

His pink Can I Help You? T-shirt indicates to other students that those wearing them are open to talking and helping find solutions. “We’re getting really good feedback, and response is growing. We want to show that RSS cares and we want this to spread to other schools,” said Roy. Reid applauded the students’ responses. “This is the honesty we need to go forward with this project,” he told them. Guest speaker Shelley Green, president of the BC Principals and Vice-Principals Association, spoke on Having Difficult Conversations. “We all often hold back on having those difficult conversations, on all topics, in all kinds of relationships. But there are skills we can learn to help make things easier,” she said. “Frame, focus on the issue, prepare the script; make a feeling statement and let them know that you want to find a solution to the issue.” She led the students through practice conversations and discussed the outcomes with them, challenging them to use

G
o, Canada, Go! What an impressive Olympic team we have and how proud we are of the athletes, their coaches and supporters who have represented Canada. There has been a great rush of national pride. To be able to turn a dream into a reality is fantastic. The amount of work, time, effort and funds that have gone into developing an athlete into an Olympian is phenomenal to me. I hope that all members of our national team know how proud their fellow citizens are of them. I, like millions of others, watch in awe as these amazing athletes
everything body. everything soul.

ski and have so much admiration for these athletes and know how difficult it is to do what they do. But it wasn’t only their participation, it was the camaraderie amongst the competitors that I loved to see. It was the athletes hugging each other after their runs, high fiving, and looking like they were genuinely enjoying themselves. So many moments made me so proud to be Canadian. The women’s hockey team always is a favourite and to see pure determination in action is captivating. The gold medal game snuck into my meetings — blah blah blah — Canada scored. Canada won! Cheers of delight and pride. We are a country that loves our hockey and the men’s and wom-
en’s games take people to new levels of enthusiasm and national pride. “I feel like we achieved this moment for so many people in our lives, all of our friends, our families, and Canada. That is priceless,” said Jennifer Jones after the women’s curling team won gold. Their achievement of no losses is an Olympic record. All the medal wins, all the placing, all the events it is all so beautiful! The red and white everywhere. There were so many moments of pride in watching our athletes compete. Personally, I watch the winter Olympics more than I do the summer games as I find these events captivating because it seems impossible to perform as they can. I shed many tears of joy, and of pride. When Gilmore gave up his spot on the ski team because Morrison had a better chance of a medal, that was admirable. When the Canadian coach (American) ran down the hill to give the skier a new ski so he could
finish with dignity, that was great. There were so many examples of team work and of sportsmanship. The athletes’ presence and grace in their media comments after events made me very proud. The background on the athletes, the hometown features, the stories of the moms of the athletes have been really enjoyable. This is another great example of how we all need support, and the “it takes a village” attitude is played out. Getting to the Olympics is not an individual task; it takes the support and work of many to get on the national team. The individual athletes will have their personal goals for what they want to achieve and a whole country stands behind them in support and admiration, and that is there whether they stand on the podium or not. So for me, a big fan, I say thank you to all the athletes, their parents, their coaches, friends, support systems, sponsors. Lucky us to be Canadian!
tion has been criticized as sheltering children from the real world, but that is not the case at Vernon Christian School,” said Matt Driediger, Secondary Campus principal. “Rather, we are preparing students to engage in the world and training them to make wise choices in their lives. “Through all of our programs and prac-
tices at VCS, our goal is to mentor students, to help them establish their identity and place in the world. Our community is here to walk beside families as they equip their children to face the very real challenges of this culture.” Driediger adds that VCS has a 37-year history in the community. “I would encourage curious parents to
come, ask their questions and receive the first-hand information needed to make such an important decision for their family,” he said. Other VCS highlights include a middle school program that is geared to supporting the specific needs of Grade 7 to 9 students, an on-site preschool, worship-arts program, service opportunities, drama, apprenticeship and work place experience, leading edge technology and a fully equipped wood and auto program. All are welcome to drop by the VCS Showcase on Wednesday at 5 p.m. to meet the staff, members of the school community and enjoy a few treats prepared by a local chef. A special invite is extended to alumni. VCS welcomes students from preschool to Grade 12 and is at 6890 Pleasant Valley Rd. Visit www.vcs.ca for more information.

participate in their events. My jaw dropped numerous times in watching the slopestyle events. I am coming from a place where Far Out is my favourite run on Silver Star so the thought of being able to do what Justin Dorey or Kevin Hill do on skis and snowboards is beyond comprehension. Not only to me, but to all those skiers and snowboarders who are freestylers, racers, they too salute their talents. The skills that our Olympians have developed in this journey are going to serve them well their whole life. Imagine having the discipline, the focus, the drive to take yourself to this level of competition and then transfer this experience into future adventures. Amazing what lies ahead. The skiing/snowboarding was one of my favourites to watch because of the extreme challenges that the athletes took on. To reach the heights they did, to do those tricks, the jumps was incredible. My own sons loved to

Armstrong New Paul Harris Fellows
Guest Speaker
Assistant District Governmor Derek Hall presented the prestigious Paul Harris Award to three Armstrong members on February 18, 2014. Shown above are ADG Derek Hall (L) and recipients President Shirley Fowler, Eric Greenwood and Mary-Eileen Johnston. Thirteen of the club’s 20 members are now Paul Harris recipients.
Exchange Student Program Two young women from the Armstrong-Enderby areas will be Rotary outbound students in 2014-2015. Alexandra King of Armstrong was chosen as Armstrong’s outbound student to Germany. Then Lauren Shykora of Enderby, who had topped the alternate list of outbound students, was offered and accepted a year’s exchange to Taiwan. John Irving, chairing the student exchange program, said a student in the Washington state side of District 5060 (Yakima Sunrise), had withdrawn from the program, which opened the way for another student. That’s when Lauren was contacted. This is the fourth time in 12 years where two students from Armstrong Rotary Club will be the coming year’s outbound students. Both were recently introduced and welcomed to Armstrong Rotary Club members. Armstrong’s inbound student this year is Zeynep Caner from Turkey. She recently moved on to her third of four host families. Zeynep recently participated in Pleasant Valley Secondary School’s “Dance Gala” where she is a student.
Guest speaker for the February 18 meeting was Kevin Craig from Kelowna. He was presented with a coveted Armstrong Rotary pen by in-bound exchange student Zeynep Caner of Turkey. Craig spoke about the Rotary program “Get To Know” which encourages youth to get outdoors and connect with nature through the arts.

Special Meeting A special meeting was held in January when the weekly Rotary Club meeting was moved to Heaton Place, a senior’s retirement home in Armstrong. Among the current residents are Frank and Joan Gates. Mr. Gates, one of the founding members of Armstrong Rotary Club, wanted to attend a meeting so special arrangements were made to hold the meeting at his new home! Upcoming Projects Planning is now going ahead for a number of projects by Armstrong Rotary. Among the key ones will be a Summer Garden Tour. Dates will be announced later. Then there is the massive job of operating the multiacre parking lot for the Interior Provincial Exhibition. This takes months of planning, setting up the parking area opposite the IPE grounds and arranging volunteers to help over the five-day period of the fair.

Falkland farm takes to the stage Morning Star Staff
A Falkland business has been in the national spotlight. Sterling Springs Chicken was recently selected to supply the principle protein for the black box at the Canadian Culinary Championships held in Kelowna. “This was a huge honour, and we were thrilled to have our product featured in this way,” said Lisa Dueck, who owns Sterling Springs Chicken with husband Hans. “The judges and competitors were a veritable who’s who of the Canadian culinary scene, and we received fantastic feedback about our product. The ingredients for the black box compe-

Chefs were asked to create a dish with local ingredients that complimented a secret bottle of wine in a specific amount of time with a limited budget. “Thanks to chef
Perry Bentley and chef Rod Butters for your support, and to the Canadian Culinary Federation for choosing our product,” said Lisa Dueck. The Duecks have been raising chickens for more than 25 years. “We have a brand new, state of the art growing facility that features heated floors and walls, separate
chick rooms and growout rooms, computerized climate control and automatic feed and water systems,” said Lisa Dueck. Environment awareness is a key part of the operation. “The barns are heated with 98 per cent renewable energy and there is an ultra-low emission European wood gasification system,” she said. All of the birds are government inspected and are processed by hand. “Our chickens are 100 per cent medication free, hormone free and preservative free,” said Lisa Dueck. “They have constant access to sunlight, top-quality feed and filtered water.”

Former student focuses on developing talent JENNIFER SMITH Black Press
When Ian MacRae left high school, he knew he wanted to get into psychology. He went to the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. Then he landed a coveted spot in the master’s degree program at University College London and knocked on doors until he found his supervisor, Adrian Furnham, a leading researcher in organizational psychology. Furnham is beyond prolific. In addition to writing more than 500 feature articles for newspapers and magazines, and publishing upwards of 40 academic papers annually, he has stacks of textbooks and popular psychology books to his name. This might help explain how MacRae found himself with orders rolling in as he was wrapping up his first book – High Potential: How to Spot, Manage and Develop Talented People at Work –while on a brief sojourn in the Okanagan. “It stressed me a bit. There were preorders before I even finished writing. Preorders started in September and the deadline

Ian MacRae has written a book which could help small business owners in the Okanagan. was Oct. 1,” he said. There wasn’t even a book cover to launch an advertising campaign at that point. Nevertheless, MacRae can now say the book is headed for the shelves in Europe and North America and he has some very interesting information in his back pocket.
First, it never hurts to find yourself a successful mentor, and second, it helps to have some idea of the elements that help one thrive in a career path. And thankfully, this is what his book is all about. The controversy on smarts – Are there talented people? Partly, according to MacRae
and Furnham. “There is a component that is talent, but it’s relatively small and needs to be developed,” said MacRae. “It really depends on what type of domain or career type it i. So, to say someone has high potential, the first thing you really have to say is high potential to do what.” This doesn’t mean there are different types of intelligence. There are some key components that make for smart people who are likely to succeed, he contends. And that’s not a very popular notion. This is not a popular idea. If you’ve ever heard of the New Yorker’s popular essayist Malcolm Gladwell, you’ve likely paused to consider his work on how that it takes 10,000 hours to really get good at something. This is not really so, MacRae and Furnham point out. “Intelligence is sort of a general mental capability that involves ability to reason, plan, solve problems, understand complex ideas and learn from experience,” he said.

GUEST COLUMN
Traits impact success Continued from previous page “You do need to practice and you do need experience, but someone who is five-foot-three can’t be a high-jumper by practising. And the same is true of intelligence models too.” In other words, not everyone is suited for every job, MacRae says. Combinations of traits – There are six attributes MacRae and Furnham focus on when talking about likelihood to succeed. How they are emphasized depends on the job role involved. And what’s good for one job, can be a detriment to another. Among the six traits are: Conscientiousness – This refers to goal-oriented thinking, planning and long-term planning. We tend to think of conscientiousness as a good quality, but those who are conscientious are not always best suited for every position. Those with low conscientiousness tend to be more spontaneous and, while they might be late for work, they adapt to new situations well and are often more creative. Curiosity – It addresses one’s openness to new information and new ways of doing things. Someone with low curiosity is more bound by convention and sticks to their own way of doing things. Those who are highly curious are open to exploring. Stress – Stress reactivity is the threshold a person has for tolerating stress before it becomes a problem. Those who tend more to the neurotic side are constantly worrying about what others are saying about them and wondering if they are doing things right. Those who can tolerate a great deal of stress can function effectively for a long time with distressing distractions before becoming overwhelmed. Courage – This is the term the pair used for having an ability to take risks. Those who are low on the courage scale tend to avoid conflict, so they can be a real asset in a collaborative work environment with a defined task.
fewer years as an advisor may not necessarily mean less expertise. Many advisors enter the profession after many years of working with the people who would later become clients, for example as consultants to business owners who later specialize in business owners’ investment portfolios. 4. What kinds of products and services can you provide? Ask if your advisor is limited to certain investments: proprietary products offered by their firm, GICs or mutual funds, or if you can draw on a greater range of investment products. Make sure you ask about your advisor’s access to investment research, portfolio strategy teams, and risk management groups. Find out if your advisor focuses on investment solutions only, or can also provide additional
services that may help you achieve your financial goals, such as financial, tax, retirement, and estate planning services. 5. What clients do you serve? Ask whether your potential advisor specializes in any particular client group, such as business owners, medical professionals or retirees. Don’t be shy about asking for references either; your advisor is in many ways applying for the job. 6. How will you help me reach my goals? Your advisor should ask you to outline what you hope to gain – for example, preserving income, building wealth, retiring comfortably – and can guide you if your expectations are unrealistic. Your advisor may also draw on valueadded services such as financial, tax or estates planning to ensure that
your ongoing wealth needs (in addition to investments) are in sync with the rest of your affairs. Ask about your advisor’s investment process, and how they create and manage your portfolio. Is each portfolio custom-crafted, or is the advisor following a set of established models? Confirm that you are comfortable with this process. 7. What kind of service will I receive? Your advisor should clarify at the outset the level of service you can expect. This includes
how often you will meet to review your progress, how your advisor will update you on portfolio performance; and what sort of contact you can expect from your advisor or support staff.

Exploring Memory Lane Special To The Morning Star

We’ve always enjoyed traveling via B.C. Ferries and our first trip as a married couple was to Vancouver Island. So now, with our dog Tiger in tow, it was off to Swartz Bay and the scenic drive through the Saanich penin-

sula. Eager to share with Tiger the charms of Victoria’s Willows Beach, we drove straight to Oak Bay. Local dogs on the shore made him welcome and we enjoyed stunning views of Mount Baker. We’d never seen Craigdarroch Castle, an extravagant project of Victorian coal baron Robert Dunsmuir. The luxurious interior has survived indifferent occupants and two world wars. Now a national historic site, Craigdarroch has been restored to its original splendor and is a powerful reminder of the energy and prosperity of the Victorian era. When it was completed in 1890 you could buy a decent home in Victoria for $600. The castle’s woodwork and paneling alone cost $46,000. After the baroque tastes of the Victorians, we refreshed our senses at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Despite its humble beginnings as a family home, this gallery houses B.C.’s largest public collection of visual arts – including an excellent collection of Emily Carr’s paintings; a reminder that the Vancouver Art Gallery isn’t the sole keeper of this eminent artist’s paintings. Next, was an exhibit

Majestic mountains loom over the Vancouver Island community of Port Alberni. I am sure Emily herself would appreciate. Urban Thunderbirds showcases traditional First Nations art and encompasses discussions about First Nations’ ideas and personal life stories in urban settings such as Vancouver, New York, Paris and Rome. Taking another turn, we were soothed by the stunning woodcuts of Kiyoshi Saito. Saito’s art was new to me but his prints had the unmistakable stamp of a master. Encounters with artistic and architectural masterpieces are rigorous work and so we happily followed the fragrance of fresh baking and coffee into one of the city’s many cafes. Refreshed and rejuvenated, we were up for exploring the charming boutiques in Cook Street Village. Our search yielded
some antique earrings; gold mementos for our silver anniversary. A little lighter in the wallet, we headed north through the magical afternoon light that makes Victoria so special. In the suburb of Hillside we relaxed into the comforts of home with old friend Joan and her dog Mamasita. Home stays can be the best part of our travels and dinner with Joan and Mamasita was another ‘best’. Her little bungalow is the perfect Victoria hideaway, fronting as it does a lush and peaceful backyard. Bright and early in the morning, we were “back in the saddle”, metaphorically speaking, and heading through the Malahat to revisit Coombs. Yes, the market still has goats grazing on the roof and dream catchers floating over the piles of organic
produce. Then it was a winding 30 minutes via the mountainous Port Alberni Highway 4 through majestic Cathedral Grove and into Port Alberni. There’s a family connection here. A grave of Katherine’s pioneer grandmother lies in the old cemetery and we wanted to see if we could find it. Our search didn’t locate the stone, but finding El Pescadores, a popular bistro at the edge of town instead, made up for the disappointment. Twenty-five years together has deepened our interest in family history, so the return drive took us into quiet Nanoose Bay. We arrived at the home of cousin Ted in time for a welcome dinner. The tales flowed with the good wine and we left reluctantly to catch our boat home. Nothing is more nostalgic than a trip over water and we were a little sad leaving our memories behind. We were comforted with new and vibrant impressions as we sailed for home. Good tidings for our next trip to Vancouver Island — and our inspiration for the next 25 years. John Harris is with Travel Writers’ Tales.

Culture a big draw for tourists BRITAIN - VisitBritain research has revealed that more overseas visitors go to the theatre, musicals, the opera or ballet (2.8 million) than to a live sporting event (1.3 million) when visiting in Britain. These 2.8 million visits include 14 per cent of all overseas holiday trips, whilst visits incorporating a live sport event make up just four per cent. Overseas theatre-goers are also surprisingly high spenders, injecting £2.7 billion into the U.K. economy during their trip – over double the £1.1 billion spent by traditionally high spending live sport visitors. The average spend by theatre-keen visitors while in the U.K. is also high at £983 (a regular visitor spends around £600), which could include theatre souvenirs, programmes and refreshments,
along with dinner and hotels. Further insights reveal that theatre-goers also generate higher spending than music tourists (festivals and live gigs), at £2.2 billion across Britain. With Sheffield Theatres leading the wins at the recent 2013 U.K. Theatre Awards and its production of The Full Monty heading to London following a hit tour of the U.K., and the awardwinning Wicked heading to Southampton, the popularity and diversity of regional theatre is clear. The Royal Shakespeare Company, based in Stratford-uponAvon, just announced record results for 2012/2013, with total income increased by 30 per cent to £62.6 million, achieved through 75 per cent growth in box office receipts.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL
Your intuition and imagination will help you reach the goals you desire. Be assertive and make your ideas known. Don’t wait for others to sing your praises. If you take the initiative and express your plans with confidence, you will have a very successful year. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Travel and education should take top priority today. Delve into difficult cultures or attend a conference or trade show that offers food for thought regarding future projects.
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 120328

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your confident and easygoing nature will attract an interesting friendship. Consider teaching or lecturing about a skill, knowledge or lifestyle at which you have excelled. Sharing what you know will encourage advancement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This is not a good time to travel or deal with authority figures. Focus on reuniting with relatives or friends whom you haven’t seen for some time, using video chat, email or phone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone close to you will be demanding. Take precautions to ensure that you aren’t taken for granted. You can nurture important relationships without being used emotionally, physically or financially. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t punish yourself by obsessing about the past. There is nothing you can do to change what has already happened. Save yourself from heartache -- look forward, not back. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t get stuck in a routine. Fend off boredom by trying something new. Share your adventure with someone you love. Making plans for the future will give you incentive to change. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone close to you is facing a difficult situation. Be prepared to offer assistance. Take care to be especially tactful and sensitive in your approach to avoid causing embarrassment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Prepare for the unexpected. Don’t get drawn into a power struggle. Visit a friend or
take a day trip to avoid a situation at home that could end up being costly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) An unusual request may catch you off guard. Perform your duties as instructed and without argument. Maintain a close watch over your financial situation to avoid any unexpected surprises. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Refrain from hiding your feelings. Expressing your thoughts clearly will help you avoid a situation that has the potential to escalate, costing you emotionally or financially. Offer the world honesty and integrity. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don’t be too hasty choosing a new investment. Remain professional in your financial dealings. Good results will be achieved if you resist acting impulsively. Make choices based on sound facts and figures. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Committees are always searching for creative fundraising ideas and would be very interested to hear your innovative thoughts. Your talents will lead to an offer that could be prosperous.
Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy. 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 uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Q: A:
I have been hearing a lot about Dental Disease in Dogs and Cats! Is it really that prevalent?
Dental disease affects approximately 85% of Dogs and Cats. Ever wonder why when your four legged friend gives you a smooch, it takes your breath away? Just like you and I, tiny food particles are left behind when we eat which will start to grow bacteria and form a transparent film that is called plaque. Within 72 hours plaque can begin to calcify, forming tartar (calculus). As tartar builds up against the gums, inflammation and swelling of the periodontal tissue results. This makes a perfect environment for infection. If not treated the bacteria can enter the bloodstream and spread to vital organs such as the liver, heart or kidneys. Your pet needs dental care just like us. As part of a routine physical exam, your veterinarian will inspect your pet’s mouth. They may recommend dental scaling and polishing to remove tartar and plaque not just the part visible to us, but also under the gum line. In order to do a thorough job on both sides of teeth and between teeth your pet will need to be anesthetized. We recommend that you take the time and look in your pet’s mouth. If they have bad breath, reddened gums and brown yellowish tartar build up, call us and set up an appointment.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WITH ONE FEWER CARD, IT WOULD BE EASIER Bridge can be a strange game at times. Usually, you are happy to have lots of honors, but occasionally you would find a contract much easier if it weren’t for an unnecessary high card. Do not resist the idea that an honor may be extraneous. In this deal, South is in four spades. West leads the club king. How should South plan the play? South starts with four potential losers: one heart, one diamond and two clubs. He has nine winners; six spades, one heart, one diamond and one club. So it seems as if the diamond finesse had better be winning. In theory, this is a 50-50 shot, but surely you
know that finesses never work on Mondays! And if the diamond finesse is failing, is there any other way to make the contract? How about trying to establish dummy’s diamond suit? As long as the suit is splitting 3-3 or 4-2 (or 5-1 with a singleton king) and trumps are not 4-0, an extra diamond winner can be established. South should take the first or second club, play a trump to his king, cash the diamond ace, and continue with the diamond queen. Suppose West takes that trick, cashes two club winners and shifts to a heart. Declarer wins on the board, ruffs a diamond high in his hand, leads a trump to dummy’s jack, ruffs another
diamond high, returns to dummy with a spade and cashes the diamond eight -- bingo. The probability for this line is approximately 78 percent -- much better than a finesse. And without the superfluous diamond queen in his hand, South would have seen this line immediately.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Myrtle Jacklin (Nee: Crozier) on February 14, 2014 after a 12 year struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. She would have been 94 years on February 27th. Myrtle was born in Northern Ireland and after immigrating to Canada in 1922, with her parents, grew up on a farm near Plenty, Saskatchewan with her sister, Hazel, and brother, Billy. Myrtle married Maurice Jacklin in 1942 and they had 3 sons and a daughter. She was a long time member of the Eastern Star and the UCW in Plenty. Myrtle and Maurice retired to Vernon in 1979 where they enjoyed golfing and gardening in the summer and curling and cards in the winter. Myrtle’s great passion was her knitting of afghans, sweaters and mitts for all her children and grandchildren. Myrtle is survived by her sons: Gary (Rebecca) of Vernon, Graham (Barbara) of Vernon, Dale (Carolyne) of Kelowna; daughter, Maureen Armstrong of Vernon; 13 grandchildren; 15 great grandchildren; her sister, Hazel Halter of Saskatoon; several nieces and nephews; and 7 cousins in Northern Ireland.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Wally Kowalski on February 12, 2014, at the age of 84. Wally was born on May 12, 1929 in Skorkowka, Poland to Gottlieb and Emma Kowalski. He moved to Germany in 1946 and then to Vernon, B.C. in 1948. Wally is survived by his two daughters, Jean (son-in-law Michael) and Lucy; and his two granddaughters, Kerri and Jacki. He was predeceased by his parents and step parents. Wally was a very hard working man and took great pride in his work. He had a hand in constructing many homes and commercial buildings in Vernon before moving to Alberta where he farmed and raised his family. Wally enjoyed his retirement years in Vernon. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to the staff at Heron Grove, to the staff and volunteers at the Vernon Hospice House and a special thank you to Stella Sophonow for her many years of friendship.

In memory of
Clarence Beaton 1935 - 2012
Today again I walk with you down thru the years gone by Although unseen I feel you near and forever by my side. I remember the day I met you and the day we said I do I remember the day I lost you and I will always love you. Through all the tears and sadness one thing makes me glad You chose me to share you life with those wonderful years we had. Tho tears in my eyes do not glisten and my face is not always sad There is never a day or night I don’t think of the wonderful husband I had.

She will be remembered in our hearts forever. We would like to thank the staff at the V.J.H. Cancer Clinic for their wonderful care and expertise.

To Those I Love And Those Who Loved Me When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do, You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I travelled on alone. So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It’s only for a time that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won’t be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can’t see me or touch me.
All our love always Your family & friends

IMPLANT SUPPORTED DENTURE
Having Fun
Are loose dentures a problem for you?

If your dentures shift while chewing or talking and you are tired of those embarrasing moments, consider dental implants for stabilization. Imagine your denture snapping into place, feeling solid and secure. Often a new denture is not necessary. Your existing denture can be made to fit your new implants.
