Fun run a real Splash Morning Star Staff
Some colour is being added to the lives of some special children. The inaugural Splash of Colour Family Fun Run in Kelowna and Vernon Saturday attracted about 1,100 people and raised $95,000 to send kids with disabilities to Easter Seals Camp Winfield this summer. “It was great to see so many smiling colourful faces and costumes at our inaugural events in both cities,” said Stephen Miller, Easter Seals president. “Like many not-for-profits, stretching every dollar as far as possible has become a way of life, and without the funds raised through events like Splash of Colour, we would not be able to continue to operate our three specialized camps and our Easter Seals House in Vancouver.” Of the $95,000, $43,000 was raised in Vernon while the remainder came from the Kelowna event. “These totals include the generous contributions from presenting sponsor Century 21 of $20,500 in Kelowna and $20,602 in Vernon,” said Miller. Camp Winfield has been the charity of choice for Century 21 for many years. “It has been heartwarming to listen to the experiences of kids and their families and to see the tremendous support from the community of Vernon with this Splash of Colour Run,” said Kim Heizmann, Century 21 managing broker. “We had more than 400 participants which is fabulous.” Prize category winners in Vernon were: Most funds raised by a team: M&M; most funds raised by an individual: Kerri Murphy; first home: Liam McGrath; most outrageous costume by a team: Team Teag; most outrageous costume by an individual: Peter Ortman; most creative team name: Vicious and Delicious and most colourful individual: Sadie Quinton.

Action affects students
Helping Hands
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/ MORNING STAR
Pam Harris (left), Bill Dunsmore and Edna Williams serve up a special Easter meal at the All Saints Anglican Church Saturday lunch program. The program is looking for volunteer groups to serve three to six lunches a year to help keep it going. If interested, contact All Saints Anglican Church at 250-5423179 or e-mail allsaintsvernon@telus. net.
Job action is impacting students at some schools. The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is cancelling recess and reducing the school day by 15 minutes at elementary and middle schools because of the teachers’ phase one strike action starting today. “During job action, school principals and vice-principals will be assisted by district- Glenn Borthistle based administration, management and professional staff to provide before and after school supervision,” said Glenn Borthistle, superintendent, adding that limited exempt personnel has made it necessary to eliminate recess to ensure student safety. During phase one strike action, teachers will not perform some administrative duties, including the supervision of students before and after school and at recess. Bus schedules will be adjusted for North Okanagan-Shuswap elementary and middle schools.
While the North Okanagan-Shuswap has scrapped recess, there are no such plans in the Vernon district. “There are 15 of us (district administration) to cover 14 elementary schools,” said Joe Rogers, superintendent. “We will make sure student safety is paramount.” Some Vernon district schools may restrict play areas so sufficient supervision is in place. During phase one job action, schools are open and there will be no pickets. “Teachers will be taking attendance, marking and assessing students, completing report cards, communicating with parents and participating in volunteer extracurricular activities,” said Borthistle to parents. Phase two job action would involve rotating pickets. “If we get two days notice for school closures, we will communicate that with parents,” said Rogers. The Vernon district has cancelled today’s cross-country run because of safety concerns, but the union insists voluntary activities are not impacted by stage one strike action. “Teacher coaches were still planning on fulfilling their commitment to students for this event,” said Heather Malcolm, Vernon Teachers Association president.
Downtown market gets final nod from council RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The green light has been given to Avenue Market. Vernon council approved a public market on 30th Avenue Tuesday after being convinced a majority of the merchants support the venture. “I’m thrilled,” said Lara Konkin, with the Downtown Vernon Association, which is organizing the market from May 9 to Sept. 26. Council refused to make a decision April 14 because it wanted proof that a bulk of the merchants on 30th Avenue were in favour of closing down the road Friday evenings for the market. A survey was done and of 112 business
owners on 30th Avenue, 102, or 93 per cent, endorsed the market. “It reconfirmed what we already knew,” said Konkin. “We, the DVA, represent a much larger area than those four blocks deemed affected by council. Merchants and businesses off of 30th Avenue have written, signed and called the DVA office to show support of the Avenue Market.” The public market will include commercial vendors and merchants along 30th Avenue will be able to use the sidewalk for merchandise displays and sidewalk cafes. During the Avenue Market, portions of 30th Avenue will be closed Fridays from 3 to 8 pm. and vendors will be able to use the Bennett parking lot on 29th Avenue for free
for their vehicles. “It’s a real positive,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky of the market. “It will bring people downtown and that’s what makes a downtown is people. It’s part of a positive trend.” However, there continues to be some reluctance about the overall impact of the market. “Time will tell. I’m not sure who the vendors are and if they won’t compete with the current businesses with the same products,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, who owns a business along 30th Avenue. The Avenue Market will be one of three events Friday nights in the area. The Vernon Friday Night Market will return to the Village Green Centre parking lot May
9, while the Coldstream Farmers Market is year-round at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall.

A female ATV rider was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries after the ATV she was driving rolled down an embankment and on top of her while riding with a group on Spion Kop mountain in Lake Country on Saturday. Lake Country fire crews as well as B.C. Ambulance responded to the accident. Fire officials had to use an ATV of their own to access the injured rider, towing a specialized trailer equipped with a basket stretcher through the back-country.

I will do a follow-up on the situation. I will get informed and touch base with Luc,” said Foster. “At $824, he would qualify for a (provincial) top-up and then be eligible for a bus pass. We’re still looking into it.”
ATV rider sent to hospital after Lake Country crash KEVIN PARNELL
Expect a new level of care:
The woman was riding in a group of six and when the accident happened, the riders stabilized her and stayed with her, while one member of the group rode down and into cell service before calling 911. Lake Country fire chief Steve Windsor said the group made the right moves in the situation. “The woman was wearing a helmet which was a good thing because she took a good hit to the head,” said Windsor. “They stayed with her and kept her immobile so there wouldn’t be any damage if there was a neck injury.”
Lake Country fire crews purchased the specialized trailer a few years ago to access remote areas of Lake Country, where fullsize vehicles and even helicopters can’t access. Windsor said the trailer came in handy. “We’ve had it happen before,” he said. “The area is fairly inaccessible for a fullsize vehicle and helicopters can’t land there.” Meanwhile, Windsor reports fire crews responded to a car fire in Oyama Monday. An electrical short appears to be the cause of the fire that destroyed the vehicle and the temporary shed that it was housed in.

ALR plan focus of session TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Newly appointed Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is meeting with B.C. Agriculture Council representatives this week to discuss their growing concerns about a plan to set new rules for protected farm land in the Interior. When changes to the Agricultural Land Commission were announced in late March, the move was generally endorsed by Rhonda Driediger, then chair of the BCAC. Dreidiger, a berry grower in the Fraser Valley, Norm Letnick said opening up the Interior, Kootenay and north regions to secondary uses based on social and economic needs would help farms innovate and stay in business. Dreidinger has been succeeded as BCAC chair by Stan Vander Waal, who operates flower greenhouses in Chilliwack. After meeting last week with Letnick, who is the Lake Country MLA, Vander Waal wants changes to the legislation. “It is the position of the B.C. Agriculture Council that as currently written, Bill 24 threatens the sustainability of agriculture in B.C.,” said Vander Waal
in a statement. The BCAC is forming a steering committee of member farmers to continue discussions with the government. The changes were spearheaded by Energy Minister Bill Bennett as part of the govenment’s core review of operations. They would allow consideration of more nonfarm uses outside the Island, South Coast and Okanagan regions where most of B.C.’s farm income is generated. Bill 24 also formalizes the cabinet appointment process for the ALC’s six regional panels, so two or three local farmers make the front-line decisions on applications for permitted uses such as a secondary residence. NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons has protested the legislation since it was revealed. “The decision to protect land suitable for agriculture 40 years ago was for the benefit of future generations,” said Simons. “Having two zones and the ‘regional panels’ make decisions about agricultural land is too political.” Bennett said the current ALC chair has refused to appoint local panel members recommended by government, centralizing the ALC function and subverting the intent of changes made in 2003 to provide local input to decisions.
Court time reserved for Washington coach ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Three days have been set aside in Vernon Provincial Court this summer for the matter of an Amercian cross-country ski coach who has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts stemming from an alleged incident at Silver Star resort in December. The matter against Jason Christopher Paul, 43, will be heard July 14 to 16. Paur, from Seattle, was arrested by RCMP after allegedly putting a video camera in the room of female students from a Seattle private school

He is charged under the Criminal Code of Canada with three counts of secretly observing/ recording nudity or sexual activity; three counts of break-and enter a dwelling with intent or commit; two counts of making or publishing child pornography; and one count each of accessing child pornography and possession of child pornography. Paur has been in custody since his arrest. He was denied bail following a hearing in February.

Lagoon action wanted JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
Some Kalavista neighbours fear bureaucracy could end up drying up the local lagoon. The Kalavista Lagoon has been battling deterioration over the years and despite aeration, additional measures were being sought to keep the natural habitat healthy. Local residents believed that a new water licence was being sought to pump water from Kalamalka Lake into the lagoon. But they recently learned that Greater Vernon Water will not approve such activity due to concerns about the impact on drinking water since the north end of the lake is an intake location. “There’s been several years of work that’s gone into the lagoon,” said Kalavista Drive resident Rob McKay. “It was quite shocking to see that nothing’s being done.” Along with being home to an endangered species of turtle, McKay says the lagoon also houses a number of recreational activities such as paddleboating, kayaking and paddleboarding. “To lose it would be significant and detrimental.” Without fresh water being pumped into the lagoon, McKay says it’s only a matter of time before the lagoon becomes stagnant. “We have to turn it around,” said McKay, who

Vernon RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance as they investigate a hit-and-run incident. A 26-year-old man reported getting hit by a vehicle while he was riding his bicycle in the 6300 block of Pleasant Valley Road at around
has even offered to donate the pump. “This is a ticking time bomb.” Nearby resident Norm Hladun agrees. “The area’s going to become a nightmare. Nobody’s going to visit and take pictures of a stinking swamp.” There is a small canal leading into the lagoon, but sand build-up has nearly blocked it off. Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick said there are plans to fix the build-up, pending approval from the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans. “It is getting dredged,” said Garlick. Following the concerns raised by neighbours, Coldstream is referring the issue back to Greater Vernon Water for discussion. The lagoon also neighbours the Kalavista boat launch, which McKay and Hladun agree would suffer with the loss of the lagoon.

Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).
to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Opportunities expanding
t’s obvious B.C.’s Ministry of Health needs to get with the program. While the ministry has been firmly opposed to allowing treated waste water to be used on food crops, a consultant recently pointed out to Vernon council that many California tomatoes purchased in our local grocery stores have been irrigated in the field using the effluent byproduct. And it’s not just the tomatoes you slice and dice for your salad. California’s treated waste water is also poured on to apples, grapes, asparagus, lettuce, peaches, peppers, pistachios, cauliflower, celery and a host of other fruits and veggies. On the other side of the continent, the Southwest Florida Water Management District serves five million people and 149 million gallons of waste water per day was reused in 2010. This Richard Rolke included 8,000 acres of citrus crops. The assumption is the B.C. government is so opposed to spraying treated effluent water on to crops because of potential health risks from coliforms. However, a study indicates there haven’t been any problems in California because of strict guidelines and secondary treatment. “The results of this five-year study have indicated that use of tertiary treated waste water for food crop irrigation is safe and acceptable,” states the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on its website. “No adverse impacts in terms of soil or groundwater quality degradation were observed. Conventional farming practices were shown to be adequate and the marketability of the produce did not appear to pose any problems. No project-related health problems were detected through medical examinations

and the serum banking program routinely conducted for the project personnel.” With health concerns addressed, American communities have expanded the potential uses for treated effluent. As an example, Tucson, Arizona, waste water is found at 900 sites, including 18 golf courses, 39 parks, 52 schools and more than 700 homes. Here in Vernon, provincial regulations restrict spray irrigation to parks, golf courses and forage crops for cattle, but there is so much more that could be done. “They need to recognize the value of our reclaimed water,” said Juliette Cunningham, a city councillor, of the Ministry of Health. That means pumping treated waste water into our local orchards, wineries and vegetable farms, or insisting that new residential development uses it for irrigating lawns or flushing toilets. The Okanagan is a semi-arid region and droughts have occurred before, particularly following low snowpack winters. The prospect of those scenarios is likely to increase given climate change and a growing population, which places pressure on our domestic water supply. By expanding opportunities for treated waste water, drinking water can be preserved while there could be economic benefits as effluent could encourage agriculture at a time when people want their food grown closer to home. Also, more uses for treated waste water means reduced chance of it being discharged into Okanagan Lake, something which has been extremely controversial in Vernon. City officials, as part of their liquid waste management process, will lobby the provincial government to expand the application of treated waste water. Given the potential benefits to the community and the experiences in many U.S. jurisdictions, it’s time for the Ministry of Health to revisit its policies. Perhaps MLA Eric Foster needs to join the effort.
Not everyone is attracted to the same thing, so an array of choices can only be a positive. And that’s certainly the case with what’s happening in Greater Vernon on Friday nights. The Vernon Friday Night Market will continue to be a tradition at the Village Green Centre, and that’s great for those individuals who want to access farm-fresh produce, baking or home preservatives. Fridays are also anchored by the Coldstream Farmers Market, which focuses on sustainability and crops that are free of genetic engineering. Added to the mix this year is the Avenue Market on portions of Vernon’s 30th Avenue. “It’s an open public market and not a farmers market. We will have different vendors and we will be doing it primarily for the merchants downtown,” said Lara Konkin, with the Downtown Vernon Association, which is organizing the Avenue Market. The goal is to enhance the vitality of downtown Vernon on a Friday night and provide an opportunity for residents to come together as a community, something the two farmers markets already do on a Friday. If anything, local residents will have the best of all worlds now. If they want fruits and vegetables, they can go to the farmers markets. If retail-oriented goods are more to their liking, they can head downtown. For some residents, they may only take in one of the events, while others may prefer to make the rounds. They all offer something distinct. In fact, they could work co-operatively to market themselves and ensure locals and residents from the broader region are aware of what’s going on. And if that occurs, everyone turns out a winner.

Where there's a will, there's a way
have followed the lively debates concerning the new art gallery, museum expansion, Civic Arena re-do, transit routes, and mystifying tourist booth relocation, all of which, to some extent, have economic development and downtown revitalization goals at their root. I believe what would boost those aspects would be to finally implement the previous official community plan, creating a harmonized, new complex of buildings for cultural /recreational facilities, dense yet diversified housing, along with green spaces all of which would compliment existing downtown businesses, creating that enhanced economic nucleus and revitalized heart of the city attracting townsfolk and tourists alike to shop, linger or live downtown. Frankly, recently proposed random relocations, patchwork or piecemeal projects is not a cohesive plan, just an expensive one, with more expensive ramifications down the road. The existing OCP advocated this cohesive "feet on the street” core density plan but, to date, I am not aware they’ve taken many steps towards implementation of that plan, which benefitted by input from a spirited, intel-
PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK As a resident of 20th Street, I am very concerned about the very poorly marked pedestrian crosswalk on 48th Avenue at 24th Street. I have personally witnessed multiple people almost being hit. Just recently, it was an elderly man on a scooter. What happens is a car in one lane stops, but you have to make sure the cars in the three other lanes are going to stop too. I have found it always to be the cars coming from Silver Star speeding down 48th Avenue that don't stop, and I have never seen a police radar set up there. The pedestrian crosswalk on 27th Street, with the lights that require all four lanes of traffic to stop, seems much safer to me and also helps keep those speeders at bay. I have used the poorly-marked crosswalk with my young children in a stroller and none of the
ligent, thoughtful, and engaged public. Why? Taxpayers deserve to know what progress has been made on previous OCP plan proposals before paying for another expensive study to be done only to be shelved yet again. It is time to convince council to turn legislated due diligence into do diligence. Many communities across Canada have created these purpose built culture, tourism, sports and recreation core facilities close to their downtown. Many were built with the help of government grants available then
drivers are paying attention to this crosswalk. Someone is going to get seriously hurt crossing the street at this intersection. Maya Fetterly TOURIST BOOTH As an RV vacationer who has travelled extensively in this province, how would I rate the availability of tourist services provided by my hometown of Vernon when compared with other cities in B.C.? Tourist information centre (present location) - good, easy access. Municipal RV park - not available. Sani-dump - disgraceful conditions. Ridiculous to impossible to access. Signage - threatening (pay up, we are watching you). Garbage and recycling bins non-existent. If we really want to attract tourists to this town, I suggest
such as Towns For Tomorrow, LocalMotion, and Innovation Grants. Some, such as the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, were aided and built with the help of private/public partnerships. We can go and do likewise here. Taxpayers are naturally concerned over costs for these quality of life concepts, but greater economic growth would help expand the tax base. You have to spend money to make money could prove true. Whose money? Access public funds from taxes
we keep the tourism information centre where it is, in the most easily accessed location and concentrate on making the other services attractive, available and accessible. J. Wells THANK YOU We write to follow-up on your story of “Jackets promote camaraderie," published March 23, covering the donation of our used Vernon Search and Rescue jackets to Regina SAR in Saskatchewan. This donation would not have been possible without the invaluable contribution of and assistance of Kekuli Bay Cabinetry. Regina is a long way from Vernon and the cost of shipping those jackets would have been prohibitive for our charitable society. Kekuli Bay Cabinetry generously transported those jackets to Regina on its own transport without charge to us. We are truly grateful to its staff
already paid. Numerous grants are still available to offset the burden on cities and their taxpayers and should be applied for to implement the vision of our OCP. The New Building Canada Fund (NBCF) supports projects which enhance economic growth which this proposal would do with a SCF (small community fund) component for towns under 100,000 for which we would qualify. And updated as of April 2014, the Gas Tax Fund (GTF) can now be directed to culture, tourism and sport/recreation as well as public transit, drinking water, community energy systems, short rail lines and local airports. Any of these tax funds received and directed wisely would enhance our community and make it even more attractive to present and future citizens and visitors. Greater Vernon has a wealth of roll up your sleeves volunteers who make things happen. Individuals, organizations, and civic groups want to contribute to a lasting legacy here. All would rally to realize this core dream. Inspire and help all to do so. Becky Strube
who put in extra time, effort, and expense to make this valuable contribution to Regina SAR possible. Kekuli Bay Cabinetry and its staff are great corporate citizens to our community. This could not have happened without them. Chris Henderson, president, Vernon SAR PUT IT TO A POLL I have read with interest the back and forth on this relocation issue. I have as yet to see any reference to anyone having actually asked those who use these two visitor centres, the tourists. Surely in this day and age, there is some way to poll those who do or possibly would use this facility to get a feeling of what the actual users would like without spending exorbitant amounts of money doing so.

Passionate cause brings orca doc to Vernon Vernon Film Society screens the whale tale Blackfish thanks to efforts of 11-year-old Armstrong activist Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
Jaida Korberg is a typical 11-year-old girl who enjoys playing the violin, living on the family’s acreage with a menagerie of animals and spending time with her friends at Len Wood middle school in Armstrong. But what’s not so typical is that the Grade 6 student has made it her mission to shut down a multi-million dollar entertainment complex. Through her Facebook page, Sink SeaWorld, Jaida is encouraging others to support her cause. It all started when she heard about the documentary Blackfish, which has been changing people’s minds about keeping whales in captivity. “I had watched the movie, The Cove, and did a lot of research afterwards and found out about SeaWorld,” said Jaida. “I don’t think it’s right to keep animals in captivity.” Jaida inquired through the Vernon Film Society if Blackfish was available for rent through its website. When she discovered it wasn’t, she took matters into her own hands. In an e-mail to VFS president Dave Brennan, she explained her reasons for wanting to see the film:
Magnolia Pictures
Captive orcas are the subject of the documentary film Blackfish, which is being presented by the Vernon Film Society at the towne Cinema on Monday thanks to the urging of Grade 6 Len Wood middle school student Jaida Korberg, left. “I am really hoping to watch the film Blackfish and I know that if you showed it as part of the film society at the Towne Theatre, many people would attend. I would promote the showing of Blackfish to all of my friends and family and supporters. Thank you for your consideration.” Brennan responded that the VFS board was impressed by Jaida’s passion and enthusiasm for her goal. “We were unanimous in our appreciation for your inquiry and have requested the film Blackfish to be part of our regular schedule in April.” Blackfish examines the life of orcas in captivity and specifically at SeaWorld in
Orlando, Fla., home to Shamu Stadium, known for its shows where trainers swim with the orcas. In recent years, those shows have been the centre of controversy following the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, who in 2010 was killed by one of the whales while preparing a crowd for a live performance at SeaWorld. The film documents the orca in question, Tilikum, who was reportedly responsible for two human deaths before Brancheau. According to the Blackfish website, orcas are profoundly intelligent mammals, thought by the scientific community to have a deep capacity for emotion and social interaction that is equal, if not superior, to that of
humans. There are no known instances of an orca ever harming a human in the wild, but the film sets out to reveal why their behaviour in captivity is dramatically different. Jaida, who visited SeaWorld when she was a toddler, says she was most impressed when she saw orcas in the wild in Tofino when she was eight years old. “It was amazing,” she said. “I don’t understand why they will have an orca in captivity when he has killed people.” On her Facebook page, Jaida has listed all of the whales that have died in captivity, and has designed a logo that shows a whale crammed into a tiny bathtub. Meanwhile, her mom, Alissa, has ordered the film online and has watched it several times. “Jaida has always been passionate about the things she believes in. She is also caring, determined and has a lot of drive and I am very proud of her,” she said. “And everyone at the Vernon Film Society has been so supportive and encouraging.” With the VFS set to show Blackfish Monday, Jaida is now busy fundraising to purchase 200 tickets to give to other kids her age. The society has agreed to drop the ticket price from its usual $7 to $5. On her crowd funding site, www.gofundme.com/ Expose-Seaworld, she has so far raised $420. Her plan is to give the tickets to Grade 6 students at Okanagan Landing elementary school, to tie in with their recent visit to the Vancouver Aquarium. “I have some friends who think I’m crazy and others who think it’s cool that I’m doing this,” she said. The Vernon Film Society’s showing of Blackfish takes place Monday, with shows at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., at the Vernon Towne Cinema. Tickets are available in advance at the Bean Scene and at the theatre one week prior to each film.
Contest encourages youth to use their heads in designing bike helmet Morning Star Staff
They were all the rage at the Sochi Winter Olympics, and now local youth have the opportunity to design their very own helmet. However, instead of a ski, snowboard or sled head protector, the designs will be used on bike helmets just in time for spring and summer riding, Launched by BrainTrust Canada and supported by the TELUS
Thompson Okanagan Community Board, the online contest, entitled Decorate My Head, is about the importance of brain injury prevention and is a way for youth to get creative, said Magda Kapp, director of communications for BrainTrust Canada. “Youth are the highest risk for brain injury,” said Kapp. “Our notfor-profit association has to be innovative with projects that cut
through the clutter to reach this age group and spread out message of brain injury prevention. The Decorate My Head contest allows us to work with the art community in the Okanagan as a creative way to get our message across.” The contest is open to Okanagan youth ages 13 to 17, who can submit a custom design for a bike helmet through BrainTrust Canada’s Facebook page.
Deadline for submissions is May 16. Once participants submit their designs, they are encouraged to have friends and family vote for their entries up to May 23 (once a day per person is allowed.) The top 40 will each receive a free bike helmet and the top three, selected by a judging panel, will each receive a bike helmet with their own custom design on it, art sup-
plies from OPUS and art classes from the Kelowna Art Gallery. The first prize winner will also receive a private art session with Kelowna artist Alex Fong. In addition, the top 20 winning helmets from the Vernon area will be displayed at the Vernon Public Art Gallery June 5. For contest details and to enter visit, www.facebook.com/braintrustcanada.

Mosaic unveiled at college Morning Star Staff
A new public art project reflecting what respect looks like in the community is being unveiled Saturday at the community garden at the Vernon campus of Okanagan College. A joint project of the Vernon Public Art Gallery, the Okanagan Respect Network and the Social Planning Council for the North Okanagan, the mosaic is located at the college’s Patchwork Farms. Funding for this project was provided by the province through the Embrace B.C. Program. “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with other community organizations in facilitating this unique public art piece,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “It was an occasion for youth to learn about respect, then take that knowledge and interpret it in a creative way for our community to enjoy.” Local artist, designer and gallery
owner Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante worked with 14 youth participants in creating handmade ceramic tiles during an open workshop at the VPAG in February. With guidance from Annette Sharkey, executive director of the Social Planning Council for the North Okanagan, participants learned and shared about what respect looks like in their communities. “We are very excited that local youth were able to express though art the importance of respect in our community,” said Sharkey. “Their personal expressions and visual interpretations of the theme, Respect Lives Here, will contribute to the larger mosaic piece being installed at the covered sitting area of Patchwork Farms.” The public is invited to the grand unveiling of the Respect Lives Here community mosaic Saturday between 1 and 2 p.m. The Patchwork Farms community garden is located near the day parking lot at the south-east side of the Vernon Okanagan College campus.
Secondary students show Art and Soul Morning Star Staff
Secondary students from the Vernon school district are about to show off their artistic talents in the annual exhibition, Art and Soul, at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. With all the bells and whistles of a large-scale exhibition, including the right lighting, an opening reception, and plenty of community buzz, young artists get a taste of what it’s like to show their work to the public, often for the first time, said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant.
“Art and Soul is the next step from our elementary school show, Art From the Heart,” she said. “It’s always exciting to see the development of creativity in these students and how their artwork expresses that. I encourage you to come out to our opening reception and join us in celebrating the accomplishment of these young emerging artists.” Works in the secondary school exhibition are displayed alongside exhibits by professional and emerging artists. “For students think-

Joyce Evanishen, a member of Vernon Silver Star Quilters, gets to work on one of the many quilts she makes to be given to premature babies.
For the love of quilting Katherine MortiMer
Morning Star Staff
Joyce Evanishen is described by a friend as a “quilter extraordinaire.” She’s not exaggerating. Step into Evanishen’s Vernon apartment, and you are immediately greeted by her handiwork. Take a few more steps, and it’s like stepping into a quilter’s dream, with bolts of fabric neatly organized, spools of thread and everywhere quilts: colourful quilts covered in fairies or teddy bears, and larger pieces suitable for a bed spread or to decorate the wall of a living room. Evanishen’s love of quilting goes back to 1997 when her cousin was visiting her from Winnipeg. “One afternoon I went to work and she went to the quilting store and brought back a pile of stuff and when I got home, she’s made a pattern and that was my first lesson in quilting,” said Evanishen. Having been a sewer, Evanishen knew her away around a needle and thread, but with her son and daughter grown she no longer had the need to make tiny pairs of pants and dresses. “So this was a nice substitute. But also, in 1998 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and had to give up on all of the sports I loved, such as golf, racquetball and skiing. It took me two years to finally accept it, but I love to work with my hands and this
helps to keep the RA under control.” Evanishen, who has lived in Vernon more than 30 years, joined the Vernon Silver Star Quilters Guild eight years ago, and enjoys the camaraderie with others who share her passion for quilting. One of her first quilts is a colourful piece whose pattern came from a jigsaw puzzle of a painting by Brazilian artist Romero Britto called For the Two of Us. “I e-mailed the artist and asked if I could do the piece as a quilt, and I was given permission if it was only for personal use, which meant I couldn’t take it to the quilt show I had wanted to,” she said. “Because I could not find the colours, I ended up dyeing individual pieces of fabric — this one took me almost a year to make.” When it comes to Christmas and birthday gifts, Evanishen always has a quilt on the go, but after finding she had a surplus she began looking into other ways of getting her quilts out to people in need. “After awhile, you make so much and you have given it to every kid and grandkid and you don’t know what to do with them, so every year I decided to donate a larger quilt to a charity of my choice.” Her quilts can be seen at Hospice House in Vernon, in government buildings around town, and she has given cozy warm quilts to Quilts of Valour Canada,
whose mission is to deliver quilts of comfort for injured Canadian soldiers. One even made its way to Winnipeg for a silent auction fundraiser, which she made in memory of her mother, a breast cancer survivor. And she is proud of the fact that children in need have been recipients of her quilts, through the Family Resource Centre and Child and Youth Mental Health. Evanishen’s first baby quilt was made for her granddaughter, who is now 16. And now babies throughout B.C. are cozy and warm thanks to the tiny, colourful quilts she makes for premature newborns at the neo-natal unit at Kelowna General Hospital. “They are the most fun and are a specific size as they must fit over the incubator. I was asked by a guild in Kelowna if I could help and I was happy to. “I try and do 10 or 12 once a year and when I take my little suitcase in, the nurses all have a look at the quilts. The parents love them because the babies get moved around and so the quilt stays with the baby and it’s a familiar thing for parents to see.” The Vernon Silver Star Quilters meet at 9:30 a.m. on the first and third Thursday of the month at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 5151 Alain Rd., just off Silver Star Road. New members are always welcome. For more information, see www.vssq.org.

Two excuses to cook up Easter leftovers
ver had one of those days when not too much comes together well? That was me cooking Easter dinner for my extended family this year. I’m not used to my new convection oven and for the first time in 47 years, I overcooked the turkey, not just a little either; there were no juices left for gravy and I had to use those emergency packages of gravy mix seen on TV. Thank heavens the stuffing and cabbage rolls were fine, Cathi Litzenberger however, the top of the ham was on the black side. Sigh! Certainly keeps me more than humble. To top that off, I forgot there were no vegetarians coming this year, and cooked five different vegetables, plus mashed potatoes and three different salads and I baked
four different pies for dessert. Thank heavens for my guests who pitched in to rescue me getting it all on the table. Do I have leftovers! Today’s spring roll recipe adds Asian flavours with a North American twist by using the leftover turkey. I bake the rolls instead of frying them to cut down on the calories, but you can deep fry them for extra flavour. If you can’t find spring roll wrappers, use the egg roll wrappers, however, they don’t bake well, so deep-fry them instead. I really enjoy split pea and ham soup, and today’s recipe is a good one to help use up leftover ham. Leftover Turkey Spring Rolls with Cranberry Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil (optional) 2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey 1/2 carrot, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger Our caring staff would like 1/8 teaspoon garlic and herb seayou to know we offer: soning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®) 5 tablespoons soy sauce (real soy Free puppy and sauce) kitten exams 6 cups finely shredded cabbage Competitive prices 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce (optional) 50 (7-inch square) egg roll wrappers In home vaccinations Sauce: and exams available 1/4 cup jellied cranberry sauce New clients always welcome 1/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup white vinegar Dr. Chris Schenk 1 dash soy sauce

Enjoy a night of African culture when The Zimbabwe Project hosts its fourth annual dinner, dessert auction and silent auction, Saturday at the Prestige Hotel. The evening will consist of dinner hosted by Bourbon Street Bar and Grill at the Prestige Hotel, live entertainment by Nankama World Beat Interactive with Bobby Bovenzi, who will also host a live drumming circle, and the opportunity to bid on some of the yummiest desserts imaginable, as well as the many fabulous silent auction items, which have been generously donated by local businesses and individuals, said Angela Yablonski,
owner of Vernon’s Curves and founder of the Zimbabwe Project. “It promises to be an interesting and fun evening and we would like to invite the community to join us.” The Zimbabwe Project is a local grass roots organization that raises funds to support the start up of self-sustaining projects in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe, in the southern part of the continent, is one of Africa’s poorest nations with an unemployment rate of more than 90 per cent and the world’s highest number of AIDS orphans. “Most of these orphans are supported at a subsistence level by extended fam-
ily members or other members of their village, but this is an extremely difficult undertaking for them as the extreme poverty makes it difficult for them to feed their own children,” said Yablonski. The Zimbabwe Project holds a number of fundraising activities throughout the year to provide assistance to the Zimbabweans. The dinner, dessert and silent auction is one of the group’s biggest events. Doors to the event open at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6:30 p.m. followed by the dessert auction. The silent auction carries on throughout the evening. Tickets are $20 each and are available at Curves on 27th Street.

is smooth, then whisk in the sugar, vinegar, and a dash of soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer, whisking the sauce, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce to a bowl. Serve the rolls hot with the sauce. Makes about 50 finger-thick rolls. Split Pea and Ham Soup 1 leftover ham bone with meat attached 1 litre chicken stock (low salt) water 1 cup chopped onions 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 celery stalks, chopped 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 pound dried split peas 1 cup chopped carrots Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Place the ham bone in a large crockpot. Add chicken stock and enough water to cover. Set to high for one hour, reduce heat to low and let simmer overnight. Strain stock through a colander (saving it )into a bowl, then place stock back into the crockpot. Allow bone and meat to cool, discarding the bone, excess fat, and any cartilage. Chop and return any good ham meat to the pot and bring back to a boil on high.

Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook and stir the turkey, carrot, garlic, black pepper, ginger, and garlic and herb seasoning until the garlic releases its fragrance, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, and continue cooking until the carrot begins to soften, about five minutes. Stir in the cabbage, oyster sauce, and remaining three tablespoons of soy sauce. Continue to stir, until the cabbage is soft and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat, and set aside. Drain off any excess liquid. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. To fill the wrappers, separate and place the spring roll wrappers onto your work surface, with the points of the square pointing up and down in a diamond shape. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the turkey filling in a line across the centre of the wrapper, and fold the bottom point up to cover the filling. Fold the two side points in on top of the folded wrapper, to fully enclose the filling. The two side points should be about one inch apart. Firmly but gently, roll the spring roll into a tight cylinder, and roll the wrapper over to firmly press down the remaining point. Set the filled wrappers seam-side down onto the parchment-lined baking sheets so they don’t touch. The rolls should be about the thickness of a finger. Bake the filled rolls in the preheated oven until they begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Mash the cranberry sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until the sauce

day retreat will be held May 2 and 3 at Vernon’s Emmanuel Fellowship Baptist Church. Friday evening will feature guest speaker Brenda Jansen from Abbotsford, who was widowed in 2004. Refreshments and an opportunity to get to know fellow retreaters will follow. Saturday, retreat participants will attend a general session entitled Understanding the Basic Needs of the Griever, followed by an opportunity to share their individual stories of loss in a small
group setting. At registration, three of the following six workshop topics can be chosen: Transitioning to Living Single, Hoping and Coping in the First Year, Complicated Grief, Experiencing Grief as a Man, Christianity and the Griever, and Financial and Estate Needs. The day will include lunch and a candlelight ceremony of remembrance. This year, the retreat offers a Saturday program for children ages six to 10 facilitated by Val Johnson, who has many years of experi-
ence with children in the Vernon school district and served on the New Hope board in her early years as a widow. “This retreat is a valuable time to gain knowledge and understanding of the grief process as well as a way to be encouraged and strengthened through common shared experiences,” said Karen Bouchard, with New Hope. “New Hope’s unique characteristic is that having experienced widowhood themselves, members and volunteers are able to offer empathy and care to those who
are mourning the loss of a spouse.” The retreat is organized by New Hope’s volunteer board and other members who come alongside the newly bereaved as companions, while the speakers and workshop leaders are experienced and knowledgeable in each of their particular topic. Cost for the retreat is $75; accommodation is not included. To register, phone 250-545-6004 or email new-hope@telus. net with your mailing address. More info is at www.newhope-grief.org.

Egg addling program aims to manage geese Morning Star Staff
In the continued effort to control the Canada goose population, the Okanagan Valley Goose Management Program is initiating its annual egg addling program. Now in its eighth year, this program has prevented the exponential increase of the non-migratory resident goose population that inhabits the valley year round. “Most communities in the valley struggle with management of these non-migratory Canada geese,” said Kate Hagmeier, project co-ordinator. “They are largely the descendants of non-native species of geese that were brought here from different areas of Canada in the 1960s and 1970s to encourage the creation of an Okanagan goose population.” What was not foreseen was their ability to adapt to and thrive in the mild Okanagan climate and their inability to migrate because they had
no natural parents to teach them how. As a result, the number of geese has grown with few natural controls, creating a need to manage this population. “The program works to control the reproductive output of Canada geese, particularly in public spaces,” said Hagmeier. “Trained contractors identify mating pairs and nesting sites and will complete the addling program by the end of May.” Key to the success of the program is finding the new nests. “The public is asked to assist by reporting lone geese, pairs of geese, or nest locations on private or public land by e-mailing coordinator@okanagangooseplan.com or calling 1-877-9433209,” said Hagmeier. “The public is also asked to keep away from goose nests and to avoid touching the eggs.” Information about the program is available at okanagangooseplan.com.

Q: A:
Why Powers of Attorney?
You should have Powers of Attorney once you have any protect-able assets, for instance, you own a house or a business or even a bank account. Should you be in an accident, ill or out of the country, someone can attend to your financial affairs on your behalf. The person you give a Power of Attorney should be a trusted person. You should also understand that abuse of Powers of Attorney is one of the most common ways of elder abuse. We often see cases where children abuse these Powers of Attorney, so don’t assume you will be immune to this. There are many different types of Powers of Attorney, they can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. At Laarakker Law, Wills and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

An Oyama woman is changing lives 10,000 kilometres away. In 2002, Beverly Edwards-Sawatzky saw some sweaters that had been knitted by impoverished women in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia, the poorest nation in South America. The sweaters had been brought to Canada by volunteers working for Save the Children. Edwards-Sawatzky decided she had to help too. She has recently returned from her fourth visit to Bolivia, where she spent three weeks in daily contact with her knitters. She believes in maintaining personal contact with the women who do the knitting. After her first visit, she organized sales in Edmonton, then in Calgary, and now in Lake Country. The sweaters, vests, and wraps she brought back after this trip will be for sale at Winfield United Church, Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. So far, through her efforts, nearly $600,000 has gone to help lift 45 families out of poverty. “Their skill is amaz-

Vernon’s Bayne Bosquet (right), a junior defender with the Simon Fraser University Clan’s men’s field lacrosse team, picked up a major honour at the school’s athletic awards banquet.
Meet the new boss
Bosquet honoured by SFU lacrosse Morning Star Staff
Bayne Bosquet has been recognized as a leader. A junior longstick (defender) with the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s field lacrosse team, Bosquet recently won the prestigious Chris Friesen Memorial Award at the SFU Maple Leaf Awards dinner in Burnaby for his leadership, hard work and perseverance both on and off the field. “I was pretty taken back by the award; it’s a prestigious honour,” said Bosquet. “I played with Chris on Burnaby. The award means a lot to him and his family and now myself. It was pretty emotional.” A Kalamalka Secondary graduate, Bosquet is in his third year at SFU, earning a degree in geography and having the opportunity to play men’s collegiate field lacrosse for a Canadian field lacrosse team in a U.S. league. SFU is the only Canadian member of the Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League (PNCLL) Division I and the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse League (MCLA) Div. I. Bosquet was voted to be one of SFU’s captains this year. “It’s a privilege to be named captain. There is a sense of responsibility that comes with it. There are 25 guys out there that are relying on me,” he said. He began lacrosse playing the box (indoor) version with North Okanagan Minor Lacrosse
Assocation at nine, and won the graduating midget of the year in 2009. Bosquet played four seasons with the Vernon Tigers of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League. He began his field lacrosse career when he played on the B.C. Summer Games’ zone team, and was then selected to play for the Burnaby Mountain Selects team at Simon Fraser University while in Grades 11 and 12. He won the most valuable defensive player for BMS @SFU in 2011. Bosquet also played for Team B.C. for field lacrosse in 2011 and 2012, and has won the PNCLL All Conference Honorable Mention in both 2012 and 2013. Bosquet scored his first career goal in a 29-2 romp over Portland State University. SFU sits atop the PNCLL at 7-0, and are 11-3 overall on the season. After giving up a 3-0 lead to sit tied 3-3 at the end of the first quarter, No. 14 SFU outscored No. 12 Oregon Ducks 12-2 the rest of the way, handing the Ducks their worst loss of the season last month. Simon Fraser’s starting defensive unit, led by seniors, long stick midfielder Riley Wanzer and goaltender Darren Zwack, along with juniors Bosquet, Mark Hilker, and sophomore Alex Thomson, held Oregon to just two goals at even strength and only a single goal in the second half.

Vernon United lost 3-2 in penalty kicks to Port Coquitlam in Easter Sunday’s Under 14 boys goldmedal final in the Lake Country Ice Breaker Rep Soccer Tournament. Jarrod Latta showed Vernon meant business with a penalty-shot snipe early, but PoCo responded with two goals by the end of the first half. Vernon came out of the break fired up, and with three minutes left to play, Latta delivered the equalizer, assisted by Perez Vermeulen. MVP was Xander Sladen for his fast moves and relentless effort. Said United head coach Remco Winjorst: “It was a silver medal with a gold lining. The entire team deserved MVP honours for their efforts in this match.” Latta scored both goals and earned game MVP as United opened Good Friday with a 2-0 victory over Calgary Foothhills on an icy morning in Rutland. United fell 3-1 to PoCo Saturday with Latta converting after Po-Co went up 2-0 in the first half. Vernon pressed hard in the second half with Ben Purvis’ attempt on goal via a penalty kick

Bryce Turner was voted MVP for driving down the wing and being tenacious. In Sunday morning semifinal action, Vernon shaded Calgary Foothills 4-3 in penalty kicks with United keeper Ian Oliphant brilliant for MVP. Vernon struck early when Blake Leupin headed in a feed from Turner. Calgary levelled the score midway through the half. Latta put Vernon up before the break.

Cole Johnson unleashed an excellent cross in the 11th minute to tie it for Vernon.

Lazar earns WHL POW
able to draw two guys to him,” Lazar said on the Oil King website, of his second goal. “I just casually got up the ice, found the soft spot and Dustin Schwartz gave us a good scouting report on Langhamer. I was able to get him to drop and open up room on the backhand.” The two points tied Lazar with Michael St. Croix for the franchise record for career playoff points. Both snipers have
46 postseason points in their careers. Lazar has 6-9-15 in 11 games this year. “(Curtis) was excellent,” said Edmonton captain Griffin Reinhart said. “I’ve been playing with him for three years now. I kind of expected that of him, same with everybody on the team. We know what he can do and we’re really lucky to have him.” On Good Friday, Lazar recorded 1+1 while earning first-star honours in an 8-3 victory before 7,700 fans. Lazar, who turned 19 earlier this month, has appeared in 199 career WHL regularseason games for the Oil Kings, amassing 99 goals and 169 points. He was the Oil Kings’ first pick, second overall, in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, Lazar was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the first round, 17th overall, in the 2013 NHL Draft. Game 3 in the series went Tuesday night in Medicine Hat.

Monpetit, pulling the Rockets to within one. The third period was all Okanagan as they outshot the Grenadiers 15-5. With 7:56 to go, Liam Finlay equalized. The Rockets faced the host Moose Jaw Generals Tuesday night in the five-team event.

Kelowna Rockets’ forward Carter Rigby (right) and defenceman Cole Martin sandwich the Portland Winterhawks’ Taylor Leier in Game 2 action of the WHL Western Conference final series Saturday night at Prospera Place.
Rockets-Hawks even KEVIN PARNELL Black Press Sports
KELOWNA – Heading into the Western Hockey League’s Western Conference final between the Rockets and the Portland Winterhawks, the series was hyped as the one that everyone wanted to see. Two of the top three teams in the CHL rankings, the top two teams in the WHL and intense rivals who had met in the playoffs two of the past three seasons. But could the series live up to the hype? After the first two games in Kelowna, the answer was a resounding yes as Kelowna and Portland exchanged blows like two heavyweight boxers. Each team won a round with the Rockets claiming a 5-4 win Friday night before Portland answered back with a 5-3 decision on Saturday. The best-of-seven series shifted to Portland for games three and four, beginning Tuesday night and continuing Wednesday. The two games in Kelowna were fast-paced and hectic and played in front of capacity crowds at Prospera Place. Rockets’ defenceman Damon Severson said Portland should be no different and he’s looking forward to a couple of big road games. “Portland is a fun place to play,” said Severson. “Their fans are going to be just like ours were (in Games 1 and 2). That was the best fan base we’ve had in a few years. They are saying it was just like back in 2009 (when the Rockets won the WHL title). It was great to see our fans out like that. We just have to go down to Portland, really go for it, and see what happens.” Kelowna rallied to take the opener, but the Winterhawks turned the trick on Kelowna in Game 2, erasing a 2-0 lead to dominate the rest of the way. Nick Petan led Portland with 1+2, while Dominic Turgeon, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Brenden
Leipsic and Alex Schoenborn also scored. Brendan Burke allowed all Kelowna’s goals, giving way to Corbin Boes after captain Madison Bowey made it 3-1 Kelowna with 93 seconds left in the first period. Nick Merkley and Riley Stadel supplied Rocket powerplay goals, 1:32 apart, midway through the opening frame. Portland outshot Kelowna 53-27 with Jordon Cooke taking the loss. “We need to play like we did in the first game, where we played such a strong game, other than the first few minutes,” said Severson. “We need to stick to our game-plan, be patient and be ready for Tuesday night.” The Rockets left for Portland Sunday morning and had a full day to prepare on Monday, prior to Game 3 at the 19,980-seat Moda Center. Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said his team couldn’t respond to a momentum change in Game 2, but added they put the game behind them and started to focus on the road games ahead. “You move on pretty quick,” he said. “You don’t have time to dwell on things. We’re going to learn from some things, and change some things and be ready for Tuesday night. We know the type of team they have. They are very good when they are given time and space, and on Saturday night they had a lot of it.” ROCKET SHOTS: The Rockets are without injured leading scorer Myles Bell (lower body)... Game 5 in the series goes Friday night in Kelowna and tickets are on sale through Select Your Tickets.... Game 2 attendance was 6,341 fans...Portland D Derrick Pouliot had three assists Saturday night. Pouliot led Winterhawk d-men with 17 goals and 70 points this season. The 21-year-old Weyburn, Sask. product was a first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2012.
Express open Cup versus Saints Morning Star Staff
The B.C. Hockey League champion Coquitlam Express open the Crescent Energy Western Canada Cup Sunday afternoon versus the Alberta champion Spruce Grove Saints in Dauphin, Man. The Express meet the Manitoba champion Winnipeg Blues Monday night in the five-team Junior A tournament. The top two teams advance to the Royal Bank Cup, May 10-18, in Vernon.
Dauphin native Barry Trotz, who spends his summers in Vernon, will act as the honourary cochair of the westerns. Trotz is the longest tenured coach in the NHL and, until recently, the only coach in Nashville Predators franchise history. He began his coaching career in 1984 as an assistant with the University of Manitoba and served two seasons (1985-87) as the head coach/GM of the Dauphin Kings.
For the second straight week, the Western Hockey League Denny’s Player of the Week is from Vernon. Edmonton Oil Kings’ forward Curtis Lazar was honoured Monday, seven days after Cole Sanford of the Medicine Hat Tigers took the honour. Lazar scored three goals and added one assist for four points along with a +4 rating over two games leading the Oil Kings to a pair of victories over the Tigers in the Eastern Conference final. Lazar had a pair of goals in a 3-1 Easter Sunday win before 5,800 fans at Rexall Place, getting credit for a poked-in puck on a scrum in front of the net early in the second period and then scoring a short-handed beauty later in the frame. He was chosen first star. “Eddie (Kulda) did a great job. He had the initial rush but he was

Okanagan Midgets draw Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan Rockets rallied from a two-goal deficit to gain a 3-3 draw with Chateauguay to open the 2014 Telus Cup Midget Hockey Championships Monday night in Moose Jaw. A tentative start cost the Rockets as Tyler Hylland was sprung on a break away to put the Grenadiers on the board at 8:47. Much of the opening frame belonged to Chateauguay, who looked to take control of the game with a late first-period power play with the Rockets killing of a bench minor for too many men. Brett Young had other ideas as he walked in on a breakaway of his own shorthanded to put the Rockets on the board with just 11 seconds left in the opening frame. Whatever momentum was gained from the Young goal didn’t

Lots of pressure by Vancouver resulted in a second goal at 17 minutes. Tourney MVP Joseph Neufeld, game MVP Shaun Boucher and Oliver Meyer, along with midfielders Ty Ogasawara and Chris McIntosh, excelled in defending, keeping the score 2-1 at the half. Vernon started the tourney by falling 4-1 to the Fusion. Cole Johnson gave United the early lead and Podolski turned in a strong first half tending goal. Man of the Match Jared Jameson took over in goal for the second half but Vancouver pressed hard with four goals. In Game 2, Vernon shut down West Kelowna 4-0 with Jameson recording the shutout and Bryce Thachuk MVP. Johnson, Christensen and Podolski provided first-half goals. while Zack Laranjo netted the fourth, off a beautiful pass by McIntosh. The back line of Boucher, Meyer, Ty Ogasawara and Neufeld worked the field with authority. Prince George clipped Vernon 1-0 to knock United out of the gold-medal match. Great defence from Vernon after lots of pressure from Prince George in the first 15 minutes kept it scoreless after one half. Excellent goalkeeping came from Podolski after Prince George kept on pushing up on the flanks. Ogasawara covered well at left wing, while Oliver Meyer and Boucher anchored the back wall. Johnson used some fancy footwork to reach Laranjo for a quality scoring chance in the opening half, while Johnson just missed on a free kick in the final half. United attacked with numbers as game MVP Christensen spearheaded most of the plays, one ball deflecting by the Prince George keeper a few inches into the net with play continuing and the goal disallowed. Prince George broke away to score 30 seconds before the final whistle.
Vernon United U15 boys pocketed the bronze medal by brushing back Prince George Timberwolves 3-1 with Malcolm Weins (2) and Owen Burnet (PK) handling the offence and Sam Eggert taking MVP. Elias Jensen played well despite nagging injuries while Kevin Thibault did a great job of distributing the ball from the back. “The team is looking very good and are moving the ball well,” said United coach Erick Burnet. Vernon opened by defeating Prince George by the same 3-1 count, with Weins (2) and Burnet (PK) again doing the scoring. Burnet buried his penalty shot in the last few minutes for the winner. United keeper Harvey Pawsey was selected game MVP, while Josh Gray and Wyatt Carter had strong games at the back. Vernon then bounced the Kamloops Blaze 3-1 with Weins and the Blaze swapping early goals. With about 15 minutes left in the game, Mees Geelkerken (MVP) broke the deadlock by tucking the ball just inside the left post from about 18 yards. Weins added insurance. Charis Ondrik and Gavin Mason had great games as holding mids, while Shey Towney and James Huntington had spectacular games on the wings. On Saturday afternoon, United bowed 1-0 to Kelowna at UBCO so ended up third in their pool. “Last year Kelowna beat us handily everytime, so it was great to see the boys keep it so close and have chances to take the lead initially and then later tie the match”, said United coach Rolf Hirschkorn. The game highlight came in the final minutes as a Kelowna striker countered deep in the Vernon zone. Central defender Peter Hirschkorn came streaking across
Silvers for U12 boys Morning Star Staff
Both Vernon United U12 boys teams earned silver medals in the Lake Country Soccer Icebreaker. Team 1 lost a heart-breaking shootout final to Kelowna, after dominating much of the match early on. Kelowna applied late pressure, with Man of the Match keeper Kevin Morgan providing numerous highlight-reel saves. Isaiah Ondrik ran a track meet, while Josh McKeown and Aiden Skinner provided great attacks up the left flank. In earlier games, Vernon went 2-1, with wins over Calgary 6-0 (including a natural hatty for Ondrik), and a tough 1-0 victory over another Kelowna team, with big James Meeks supplying the lone tally and William Oordt-Bosman Man of the Match. A tough 3-1 loss to Kelowna’s Warriors late Saturday spoiled a perfect round-robin record, with Jack Cotter netting the goal and Skinner earning Man of the Match. Strong defence was turned in by Max Chirkoff, Cotter, Hayden Catt, Skinner and Connor Hansen to help Morgan record three shutouts, with
Ben Imrich, Nate Paskiewich and Saajan Klair offering solid offence and midfield support. Tourney team MVP went to Chirkoff for great shutdown defence and work ethic. Team Two finished second in Pool B, falling 3-0 to the tough Kelowna United Warriors. Man of the Match was keeper Logan Quibel, while Ben Morgan was solid in the back. The boys opened with a gritty 4-1 win over a select team from Prince George. Game MVP Liam Glennon (2), Brodie Fraser and Kaden Funk handled the attack. Vernon then downed Calgary Foothills 4-1 with Glennon pulling the hat trick and Dawson Martian finishing nicely on a feed from game MVP Kobe Grant. Lucas Schuch and Tysen Fairweather also shined. The boys finished off preliminary play with a tough 2-1 loss to the Calgary Dynamo. Glennon opened the scoring on a solo effort. Man of the Match Gavin Medema, Liam Reid, Ben Morgan and Dawson Martian ran miles. Tournament MVP was Matt Reich,who despite being out with an injury, came to every game.

Paige Noakes opened the scoring with a rocket, on a cross from Megan Sherwood. United’s second goal came from Emily Thomas, on a feed from Mira Szudek through the middle. Kamloops pressed but the defensive play of Gabrielle Triggs, Kelsey Carriere, Makenna Kersey and Carly Southam held them scoreless through the first half. In the second half, a great feed from midfield sent Sydney Bergman on a run upfield. Bergman found Szudek, who made it 3-0. Kamloops answered on a breakaway before Brianna Bobbitt converted from Elana Gaskell in the late minutes. United shut down the Prince George Kodiaks 3-1 to open preliminary action. Szudek, Thomas, on a gorgeous corner, and Danica Ariano, on a penalty kick, handled the offence. Game MVP was Carriere, In Game 2, Vernon ambushed Kamloops 5-0 with Hailey Yablonski recording the shutout. Game MVP Bobbitt scored first, from Szudek, who then drilled a shot bottom left, on a feed from Keira Correia. Szudek scored again, from Bobbitt, after a great cross from Jayden Strachan midway through the first half. Talia Quiring, Carriere, Kersey and Triggs worked the back of the field to keep Kamloops stuck in the midfield. United’s fourth goal came from Ariano, assisted by Bobbitt. Gaskell and Emilia Durfeld maintained possession in central mid. Thomas then one-timed one off a corner.

Business opponents of Multi Material BC are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling system by the stewardship agency. They continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle.
Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their MMBC contract but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or otherwise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper. McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous businesses across B.C.

That option is not practical or reasonable, McCulloch said. “The suggestion that we are able to launch or own stewardship program independent of MMBC is a sham.” The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collecting more containers and material types than before. But many businesses argue they’re unfairly compelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in Ontario. Critics say MMBC’s three-member interim board is controlled by executives with multinational firms like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who have manipulated the launch of the new program to their benefit rather than the interests of most B.C. businesses. Questioned by the NDP recently, Environment Minister Mary Polak said she expects a more representative 15-member permanent board to be named soon after MMBC’s launch. Polak said it’s logical the biggest industries that pay the most into MMBC get a large role. A new advisory council was also recently unveiled by MMBC with reps from several B.C. business groups, but critics say it has no real power. Pausing the program and the payment of fees by member

businesses would cut off the money MMBC will send to most local cities that agreed to continue curbside pickup. “Any delay in implementation for those communities would mean a loss of that savings,” Polak said, adding many municipalities have already budgeted to receive promised MMBC payments. She said examples of those amounts are $1.5 million a year coming to Richmond and $917,000 to Nanaimo. Mike Klassen, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he’s not aware of any cities reducing their property taxes as a result of the expected MMBC savings. “That’s one of the things that’s been most misleading – the idea that this was going to save money for the general taxpayer,” he said. Klassen argues consumers will pay twice – their local taxes won’t go down but they’ll also pay higher retail prices as businesses pass along the MMBC charges. He said most mayors and councils are being cautious and aren’t spending MMBC savings until they actually arrive – meaning there’s still opportunity to freeze the rollout. “That suggests to me they’re also very wary of the program and have a fallback program in case things don’t work,” Klassen said. “The world doesn’t all of a sudden turn upside down if we pause this program and take some time to reflect on how to do this well.” Small businesses with single storefronts have been exempted by the province from MMBC’s requirements. But Klassen said franchisees don’t qualify, leaving hundreds of small businesses like meat shops and Subway sandwich outlets facing hefty costs.

The
Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder SHORT BOOKS ON ONE TOPIC Short books that concentrate on one topic have enjoyed considerable popularity. This year, Audrey Grant put out “Five Steps to Simplify the Endplay” (Baron Barclay). The reader is given the five steps to work through when planning an endplay. There are 31 pages with illustrative deals covering these key aspects. Then there are 10 problems to solve, so the reader can check that the theory has been grasped. The main snag is that at the table, it can be harder spotting an endplay than executing it once the need is recognized. In this deal from the book, look at only the North and South hands. The contract
is four spades. After West leads the diamond king, how should South plan the play, given that trumps are breaking 3-2? Three no-trump would have been easy to make, and perhaps North, since he has a strong doubleton, should have eschewed Stayman. But that would have ruined the lesson. South is in danger of losing three hearts and one diamond. He can hope that East has the heart ace, but better is to give West the lead with his known diamond queen when he must either lead a heart around to declarer’s king or concede a ruff-and-sluff. This requires eliminating all the black-suit cards from West. South wins the first trick,
draws trumps, and cashes his four club tricks. Then he leads a diamond. West takes declarer’s jack with his queen, but he is endplayed. In real life, the endplay will be unnecessary half the time, because East will have the heart queen -- but not in books, magazines or lessons.

SPCA supports Animal Abuse Prevention Day Morning Star Staff
Animal abuse is cruel and needless, yet it happens every day
throughout B.C. The good news is, you can help. Everyone can take action to
help end the cycle of violence. That’s why Thursday, is Animal Abuse Prevention Day
in B.C. Each year, the B.C. SPCA investigates nearly 8,000 complaints of animal abuse
and neglect, a distressing and even overwhelming number. “One person can
make a difference, whether they report an animal they believe is in distress or write

a letter to their MLA to let them know how important it is to have dedicated animal cruelty investigators in their community,” said Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer, B.C. SPCA. “That’s why we’re asking people to help spread the message and to help us create communities that are more humane across the province.” Animal Abuse Prevention Day has been observed since 2012 after a private citizen requested a provincial proclamation as a memorial to 56 sled dogs in Whistler, B.C., who lost their lives on April 23, 2010. A high-profile animal cruelty investigation resulted in criminal charges against the sled dog company employee responsible for their deaths. This year, for the first time, the B.C. SPCA is encouraging supporters and everyone they know to help spread the message by signing up for a Thunderclap campaign. Thunderclap, a social media crowdspeaking platform, means the B.C. SPCA’s anti-animal abuse message and ways you can help prevent it in your community can reach thousands of people. Sign up at www. thunderclap.it/ projects/10617-takeaction-for-animals and tell all of your friends and family to join the campaign. Find out more about how you can help end animal cruelty at spca.bc.ca/prevention and www.spca.bc.ca/ action, where you can sign a pledge to take action against animal abuse and share your commitment with your local MLA. “Helping to prevent animal abuse today can hopefully, result in better tomorrows for British Columbia’s most vulnerable animals,” said Moriarty.
