Tribes takes aim at mayor’s chair RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

A passion for the community has a former politician wanting to take the reins of Vernon city hall. Klaus Tribes, who was a councillor for 18 years over a 25-year period, announced Wednesday that he will run for mayor in November’s civic election. “I have the drive, energy and desire to give the position my full attention,” he said. “I intend to be a hands-on mayor and involve myself with the day-to-day operations of the city.” Tribes, whose political career came to an end after seeking the mayor’s chair in 2002, admits there have been some changes in the community over 12 years, but he is convinced he can actively contribute. “I know how the city runs. We’ve had mayors without that knowledge and they ran,” said the 74-year-old. A key issue is the economy and creating an atmosphere friendly for business. “My attitude will be, ‘How can we make it work?’” he said of projects presented by potential investors. “Commerce creates wealth, jobs and a healthy tax base. With a healthy tax base, we can afford the amenities that are the fibre of a well-rounded community.” He supports calls for a sec-

“I’m amazed at how much money comes into town from hockey tournaments and money creates jobs,” he said, adding that

he would also like to investigate development of a trade and convention centre. “In the past, we didn’t have

enough hotel rooms and now we have enough.” Other issues of concern are costly water system upgrades, road infrastructure and supporting the downtown core. He is also calling for four town hall meetings a year to consult with residents. “If I am mayor, I will have an open door policy and will be available to listen to citizens’ concerns and suggestions,” he said. Tribes says he will not criticize the decisions of the current city council, but admits he wants likeminded individuals to run for council with him. “I hope people will come out and say, ‘I like what he has to say and I want to be there.’” A former police officer, he ran a restaurant downtown for almost 40 years and is currently a breakfast ambassador at the Fairfield Inn. Tribes says all other activities would take a back seat if he is elected mayor. “I intend to make this a fun job and enjoy it. I can be there from morning to night,” he said, adding that he won’t wait until the fall to pursue voter support. “I’m going to start campaigning soon and campaigning means knocking on doors.” Rob Sawatzky, the current mayor, has not indicated if he will seek a second term in November’s election.

Bylaw clears hurdle for medical marijuana RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Officials hope medical marijuana could ultimately boost Lumby’s economy. Council gave three readings Tuesday to a bylaw that would permit medical marijuana to be grown and processed on industrial property. “It’s a great opportunity for Lumby,” said Coun. Nick Hodge, “It could help create jobs and would be a good use of our industrial land.”

A public hearing about the proposed bylaw was held Tuesday and some residents provided feedback. “We heard from someone who is interested in moving forward on industrial property (with a facility) but we also heard about a concern about facilities being too close Nick Hodge to the school,” said

Hodge. However, any potential development sites near the school are outside of Lumby’s boundary and would be under the jurisdiction of the Regional District of North Okanagan. One issue village council is still trying to determine is whether marijuana facilities on industrial land would receive agricultural status from B.C. Assessment. If that occurs, tax revenue could be impacted. Mayor Kevin Acton insists medical mariBE D

juana should not be considered agricultural. “If it’s medical, it’s pharmaceutical and that means it’s processed. It’s not just grown,” he said. Before council can grant final adoption to the bylaw, it must receive approval from the Ministry of Transportation because the main industrial site in the community is near Highway 6. “The industrial property is not right next to the highway so there shouldn’t be any concern,” said Hodge.

Carter Lelond, three, and his mom Carey stop for a look at the plants on the trail as grandpa Doug Tyler checks out the view of the valley Saturday at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre season opening.

Cuts to Vernon School District’s budget for next year could be revealed Wednesday. The board is expected to pass the budget at a public meeting at 4 p.m. at the district office. For the 2014-2015 school year the district needs to cut its expenses by $1.5 million to balBill Turanski ance the district’s budget even though enrolment is projected to increase. “There will definitely be cuts in personnel and services,” said Bill Turanski, board chairperson. With no additional funding provided by the ministry, increased costs include $440,000 for the cost of the CUPE agreement; $91,000 increased municipal pension costs; $25,000 increased WCB costs; $135,000 increased BC Hydro rates; and $232,000 increased benefit costs for CUPE and teachers.

Victoria reaches out for rural Internet richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Fishing lodges and other rural businesses will be able to cast a line to customers much easier. On Thursday, the provincial government announced it will invest $2 million so rural and remote areas can access satellite Internet technology. “You can’t run a business with just a cell phone. You need to be hooked up to the Internet,” said Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, during the announcement at Johnson’s Communication Systems in Vernon. The government has partnered with Xplornet Communications and local installers to provide qualified businesses and residents with funding assistance for up to 50 per cent of installation costs up to a maximum of $250.

Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star

Technology Minister Andrew Wilkinson announces an Internet subsidy in Vernon Thursday alongside Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. Among those who are expected to benefit are fishing and ski lodges, as well as guide outfitters. “Small business can operate

from any location in the province,” said Andrew Wilkinson, technology minister. There are still some areas where

wired or wireless broadband service is not available and satellite service makes the most sense. “You get out into the valleys and it’s tough for them,” said Foster of residents in parts of rural Lumby, rural Enderby and Falkland. Ninety per cent of B.C. residents currently receive high-speed Internet. “We’re looking for complete coverage for 100 per cent of the population by 2021,” said Wilkinson. Bill MacDonald, a senior vicepresident with Xplornet, believes the government subsidy is important because it reduces the cost of the service for customers. “Covering large distances for installation is expensive,” he said. “This recognizes that Internet shouldn’t only be accessible but affordable no matter where you live.”

Besides businesses, it’s believed many rural residents will tap into the government subsidy to receive Internet. “Children in school want the same opportunities as other children. Grandparents want to Skype with their grandchildren all around the world,” said Wilkinson.

Water is good for planet Earth. So a little precipitation – OK, quite a bit of precipitation – did nothing to dampen spirits and enthusiasm Tuesday at Vernon’s Ellison Elementary School. It was there that Kim Ondrik’s Grade 6/7 “Ozone” class hosted a community-wide Earth Day Festival for three-and-a-half hours in a steady downpour. “Rain is good for the Earth,” said Isaac Coombs, one of Ondrik’s students and co-director of the festival with classmate Corbin Kelley. “The Earth needs a lot of water.” The class hosted community groups such as the City of Vernon and Regional District of North Okanagan, as well as their peers. “We have students here from Okanagan Landing Elementary, J.W. Inglis in Lumby and Beairsto,” said Kelley. “We have a lot of different stations that all of the kids can go to.” Stations included things such as kids receiving free trees to plant, making dreamcatchers in a First Nations’ tepee, water trivia, a watershed model of Greater Vernon, face painting and free munchies such as fruit and vegetable. Ondrik was doling out scoops of popcorn. “It is an amazing opportunity to watch kids leading kids, as well as everyone’s awareness of the criticality of the natural world,” said Ondrik.

Greater Vernon Water advises customers that the Kalamalka Lake water source has been turned off due to increased turbidity in the water. The decision to remove the Kalamalka Lake water source was based on increased turbidity due to spring runoff caused by snow melt in the Coldstream Creek watershed. Water will be supplied from the Duteau Creek water treatment plant until turbidity decreases in Kalamalka Lake. Customers who are not normally on the Duteau Creek source will notice that the water is much softer and the water has a low alkalinity and pH. This may be of interest to those customers who have in-home water treatment systems or aquariums. GVW staff will continue to monitor water quality and notify customers of any further changes. Customers will be notified when the Kalamalka Lake water source is turned back on.

Blue box blues

espite efforts to win us over with flashy new blue boxes, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of excitement over the new recycling system in town. The new boxes have been making their rounds (two per household) courtesy of Emterra Environmental throughout the Regional District of North Okanagan. These new boxes will replace the traditional blue bag recycling methods many of us are accustomed to, through Multi Material BC on May 19. That’s the first glitch. Although I have yet to receive mine, from Jennifer Smith what I understand these new boxes will be unable to hold as much material as the blue bags. In our house, we cram those bags right to the brim with recyclables and quickly tie them off before the contents explode. So I would guess that the boxes can only handle half that of a bag. It would seem that the program is restricting how much we can recycle. But they claim that’s not the case. Although we can’t use blue bags after the program starts (I wonder how Glad is faring from that loss), we can fill extra containers, such as a box. It’s definitely not as ideal as tossing bags out to the curb, but I suppose it works. The fact that this is an open box is the second glitch. I don’t think Emterra or MMBC factored Mother Nature into the equation. We are told to stack the boxes or put a rock on top of contents to prevent the wind from blowing them about. But we all know that this is inevitably going to create more litter as boxes are blown over and paper is strewn about. Then there’s the rain (newspaper soup anyone?).

At RAndoM

One item we won’t have to worry about flying out of the boxes is plastic bags. That’s because they aren’t allowed in the blue boxes. Glitch No. 3 Apparently it’s too difficult to sort plastic from other recyclables, therefore all plastic bags and overwrap will only be accepted at a drop-off depot. So now on top of all the boxes I need to store, I have to find room in my garage for plastic bags (on top of the glass jars and styrofoam I already attempt to save). The reality is, they won’t make it to the depot. It’s a lot easier for someone to toss the bags in the trash than it is to collect, store and drive them across town. All in all, I question the need for this new system (which also includes some major issues for producers, but that’s a whole ‘nother column). The recycling service we had worked wonderfully. Even though the new system is free to residents, the former service was a small expense for taxpayers ($20 for a full year is pretty affordable). It worked well, so why fix it? While I appreciate all the effort that’s gone into ensuring more items actually get recycled, I personally don’t see the benefit in this new system. It claims more items can be recycled, but when I compare the list to the items I already recycle, I actually see a reduction. Unfortunately I think it could prove to be more of a hassle than it’s worth for many residents. I truly hope not, as there is obviously immense benefits to our environment to reduce, reuse and recycle. But just to give you an example, it’s taken me at least 10 years to train my husband to recycle (and I’m still pulling items from the trash). People don’t change overnight. And I don’t think our recycling system should change overnight either. There are a lot of glitches that need to be worked out and hopefully those too will come.

Changing with the times can be a good thing. But, the debate surrounding the B.C. Liberal government’s plans to amend the Agricultural Land Reserve indicates this change is meeting with some opposition. The ALR covers about 4.7 million hectares, or about three per cent of the provincial land base. Given the changes are targeted especially to lands in Zone 2, anything outside of the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island, then the regulations apply to much less than three per cent of B.C.’s land base. Bill Bennett, minister for core review, has offered up some explanations, but they seem too facile, and leave other questions unanswered. Why did the government not consult with farmers? Why is the government wanting to especially loosen the restrictions on how ALR land in Zone 2 can be used? Why is the government wanting a piece of such a small pie? Scientists from B.C.’s universities are against the changes for a variety of reasons. But why listen to them? Remember the cod fishery? Exactly. Between 1976, when the ALR was introduced, and 2011, the population of British Columbia jumped a whopping 84 per cent, to about 4.6 million from 2.5 million. Over that same time period the amount of land in the ALR remained essentially the same. Almost double the number of mouths to feed, but the same amount of land. Climate change is already lapping on our shores, exactly what that will do to food production around the world is unknown. Are we really ready to roll the dice on food security? Changing the rules to allow alternative uses on ALR land just doesn’t add up, unless we are missing a part of the equation. – Black Press

Step up and make a difference

have been coaching soccer in Vernon for eight years, since my son was four-years-old. I am now a coach with Vernon United Boys but have coached both rep and house league. I am speaking from a soccer point-of-view, but I am sure this also applies to other local youth sports. It has always amazed me that while youth soccer is a very popular sport, there can be a shortage of coaching volunteers. I get it, the idea of taking even more time from our busy lives to"'herd cats" can be daunting. But trust me, the coaches you see on the field have equally busy lives. Being involved with our youth is worth a little extra work, a little extra organizing, a little extra energy. Remember how many coaches each of us had growing up? I am

sure they had busy lives too. What if they had not stepped up? How would our lives and sport experiences been effected without

AGE OF ENTITLEMENT The resignation of Alison Redford in Alberta has caused me to once again to cast my mind to a brew in this country I will call the caldron of entitlement. It is clearly a witch's brew that I hope will boil dry before I finally manage to shake my head right off. Where did it come from, this indignant mindset that seems to think there is a right to abuse the resources of a job? Be it a sense of entitlement by fudging a time sheet at work, stepping ahead at a grocery store, falling a tree in a park. The Redford story glitters because of the profile, and could only have happened by starting out as a much smaller transgression. Many years ago, as my sons were growing up, they found that cutting across our neighbours yard was a quicker way to the buddy down the street. When I spotted the behaviour, I put a stop to it and impressed upon them that such a small transgression would only lead to a larger one later on, perhaps using his barbecue. To this day, I am often reminded by at least one of them what an important lesson it was to become in their life. While not all of my life lessons received such acclaim,this one did. When it comes to public office, the idea is to serve. To be in service not to serve yourself first. But the culture of entitlement, without justification, is growing by leaps and bounds and a reader hopefully will flash to their own dustbin of the mind

checking to see if they may be hiding one of their own. Ask where did it manifest? Don't be to quick to judge Alison Redford if you have put your hands and feet on the serving tray of false entitlement. There is another lesson in this event. It should be a reminder to every organization out there, bar none, that if you abuse your position as an officer, or director, the membership can and will come to get you. If you are so arrogant as to think you are above your authority, and fail to seek transparency and fairness to all of those you serve, you will be accountable. That is no more clearly in evidence than in the action the elected members of the power party in Alberta demonstrated. Where did it come from, I asked. Well perhaps it was started with the concept that no matter how outstanding, or not, if you are on the team, everyone shall get a trophy. Everyone is entitled to the same recognition. Just participation is enough. Maybe that is where is started with the now extinguished premier of Alberta. That sense of entitlement, that arrogant behaviour, that bully mentality. The lesson here is to reflect and learn from it. Barry Montgomery A MIX OF ISSUES The March 21 paper was a good mix of articles and letters, which alternatively gave me hope and indigestion.

them? We are blessed with an incredible team that runs Vernon youth soccer.

With very little experience, or even no experience, you can use a huge data base of various drills and exercises available online or directly from the co-ordinators to run your team. They also run coaching clinics to get you ready before the spring season. So much support from this group really helps make the experience a positive and less stressed one. The sport aside, what a great opportunity to be involved with our local youth, stay fit, and show our own children the importance of community. Don't miss out, take a little chance and step up. You will be surprised how easy and rewarding being a coach is and wonder why you didn't do it sooner. Barry McIntosh

and Macnabb for speaking out about the recent decisions on Civic Arena. I'm glad someone is. How sad and unprofessional that they were called obstructionists for speaking up. Having only sat in on one RDNO meeting recently, I was left shaking my head at the way business was conducted in general. Two letters to the editor were spot on, and I refer to Joanne Georgeson’s on a bypass and John Hegler’s on the pathetic water plan. There is a glimmer of hope for thinking people in this area yet. The other letter from H. Thorburn was ridiculous. The city would be deader than it already is without the consumers from the outlying areas. Would he like to amalgamate or put up gates and charge folks from outlying areas like Lumby, Cherryville, Nakusp, Armstrong, Enderby, Oyama, Falkland, etc. to utilize goods and services in Vernon because they are using the infrastructure? Who does he think maintains these retailers, professionals and service industries? People from within the city limits? I'm pretty sure Kelowna and Salmon Arm would welcome everyone. Look at the many papered-up, empty business premises in Vernon. Any good, stable governmenttype jobs have been pulled out without a whimper and I suppose the postal service is next. It doesn’t indicate good planning or decision-making has been going on. P. J. Sault

THANK YOU Thank you Mr. Jim Flaherty for the pension for people with disabilities. My son has an invisible learning disability. If a person could walk in his shoes for one day in the workplace. Imagine going to work with fear of being fired or harassed or bullied. It's frightening. For parents, it's a real worry. May you wear your green tie in heaven Mr. Flaherty. Rest in peace. M.M.

there is sentimental value behind a stolen skateboard ramp. The ramp, belonging to Paul Dixon and his family, was stolen from Dixon’s East Hill home sometime overnight Saturday. “It was there Saturday and when we went to put our kids in the van to go to church Sunday, we noticed it wasn’t there,” said Dixon, who lives in Sterling Estates off 39th Avenue. Dixon’s son, Jericho, seven, got plenty of use from the ramp which was handmade by his mom’s grandfather. Jericho put up posters around the neigh-

Dixon. “It would rival anything you’d find in a skate park.

Vernon will recognize the 2014 Day of Mourning Monday by flying the flags at city hall at half-mast. Across Canada, April 28 is designated as the Day of Mourning, a time when workers, families, employers and others come together to remember those who have lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational diseases. “The Day of Mourning is one day during the year where employers, workers and unions stand together in recognizing workers who have been injured or lost their lives on the job,” said Clay Fredin, the city’s health and

safety co-ordinator. “There were 128 workers who lost their lives in 2013, which is 128 families who are now missing a loved one. This statistic doesn’t take into account the numbers of families struggling daily to care for an injuredLB loved one.

The Day of Mourning is an essential reminder to everyone how important workplace health and safety is on a daily basis throughout the year, ensuring workers go home safely to their families each day.” The Canadian Labour Congress first

Efforts are underway to clean up a property next to Lavington’s park and school. Fire broke out in a garage on School Road Jan. 4 and no efforts have been made to secure the property. “There’s squatters in there,” said Bob Bibby, Coldstream’s building official. “They caused the fire cooking or doing whatever they were doing. The fire-damaged garage now presents an immediate hazard to the children in the neighbourhood as they have free access to the property.” Coldstream has issued a Bob Bibby remedial action order to have the accessory building demolished after failed attempts to contact the owner. The owner has 30 days to demolish the building, after which the district can have the work completed at the owner’s expense or the costs will be applied as lien on the land. That may occur since the owner has gone into receivership and the property’s been foreclosed on. Massive home start What is likely the single most expensive home in Coldstream is under construction. The $3.5 million, 13,000-square-foot, singlefamily house is being built on Kinloch Drive. “It’s two lots with full lot coverage, it’s maxed out,” said Bob Bibby, Coldstream’s building official. The multi-million-dollar home is under construction by Bercum Builders and boasts 6,500 square feet per floor. This single home makes up more than half of the value of all building permits issued in March. A total of 14 permits were issued - five single-family dwellings, two renovations, three accessory buildings and four other with a total construction value of $6.01 million. “This compares to 10 permits and a construction value of $2,367,200 for the same month last year,” said Bibby in his report. Building stats are on an upward trend so far for 2014, with five more housing units than the same period in 2013. Construction value also exceeds 2013 year-todate totals by more than $5.5 million.

Input sought to recognize Nicol Morning Star Staff

Proudly Canadian

Vernon residents are being asked for input on how best to remember a community advocate. The city asked for public suggestions on how to honour Patrick Nicol, a longtime councillor who died in January. An open house to discuss those ideas is being held at city hall April 29 from 5 to 7 p.m. “We have received some great responses for our request for ideas to honour Patrick Nicol,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham, a member of a committee overseeing the process. “This will be an opportunity to explore a final concept which is being proposed.” In remembering Nicol, the committee asked for suggestions that reflected Nicol’s values, could be accessed by the entire community and that built on existing infrastructure. “I hope for a strong showing at the open house to discuss the best ways to move these ideas forward,” said Cunningham.

RICHARD ROLKE/MORNING STAR

Lisa Anderson, fundraising director, is inviting the public to the Upper Room Mission’s open house Sunday.

Mission hosting open house RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Upper Room Mission is throwing open the doors. The non-profit agency will hold a public open house and volunteer appreciation

Dig in to these Garden Fresh Specials!

Sunday. “People can come and see what we’re really about,” said Lisa Anderson, fundraising director. Among the services provided are a women’s shelter and access to services such as the street nurse. URM also operates two thrift shops. “We’re not just a soup kitchen,” said Anderson, adding that about 200 meals are provided daily to those in need. “We see all walks of life come here. It’s not just the homeless. We are seeing seniors and families with kids

— people with lowincome.” Even for those individuals who are working, making ends meet can be challenging. “They have to decide if they want food or pay the rent and you need a roof over your head,” said Anderson. The event will also be an opportunity to praise the 150 volunteers who work behind the scenes. “The longest volunteer has been here for 34 years and that’s longer than I’ve been alive. That’s dedication,” said Anderson. “If we didn’t have volunteers, we couldn’t run the facility.”

Anderson also wants to use the open house as an opportunity to celebrate the community, which supports URM with donations of money and food. Residents can provide feedback on the mission. “We never get any input on how we’re doing, the things we could do better or the things we’re doing right,” said Anderson. The Italian Kitchen Company is sponsoring the open house. The Upper Room Mission is located at 3403 27th Ave. For more information, call 250549-1231.

North Okanagan residents are being encouraged to embrace the abundance around them. The third annual Shoots n’ Blooms Festival takes place Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at Gatzke Orchards in Oyama. “Eating more locally is easier when you know what foods are seasonably available, who your producers are, and where you can find their products,” said Amy Fehr, with the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan. “The society encourages everyone to come out and celebrate the arrival of the new growing season and the year of the family farmer as declared by the United Nations.” This year, the society is teaming up with Gatzke Orchards in Oyama to be the host site. “Come out and chat with farmers, orchardists,

cheese crafters, artisan bakers, and more to learn about how your food is produced,” said Fehr. “Taste food samples and purchase directly from producers. The North Okanagan produces an amazing variety of food ranging from asparagus and garlic to chicken, speciality cheeses, and ancient grains such as spelt.” The event will also include live music and a petting zoo. “Sourcing more of our food locally supports the local economy, helps to protect the environment and provides the freshest food available,” said Linda Boyd, a society board member and community nutritionist. “The society aims to cultivate a healthy, sustainable, regional food system.” For more information about Shoots n’ Blooms or the Food Action Society, call 778-932-0032 or go to www.foodaction.ca.

FIND OUT WHAT’S NEW WITH RECYCLING AT

A move to be more open in programs it offers proved to be a boon for the Okanagan Regional Library. In a presentation to Armstrong council, ORL executive director Stephanie Hall said program attendance across the region was up 12.6 per cent in 2013. “That’s partly due to our board making a decision to not be so rigid in allowing what programs to do in a community,” said Hall. Programs at the Armstrong branch, which serves city and Spallumcheen residents, drew Stephanie Hall 1,216 people and its popular summer reading program saw attendance increase 23 per cent to 247 people. There are 3,969 registered members at the Armstrong branch. Hall said the withdrawals of books and DVDs dropped by close to one per cent across the region, but the decline was more than made up for in the increase of system-wide electronic circulation (e-books and online magazines and newspapers), which was up 56 per cent last year. At the Armstrong branch, there was a three per cent drop in physical circulation. Electronic circulation numbers were not available but will be included in 2014’s report. ORL members have access to more than 750,000 million physical items, e-collections and support teams of professional librarians. One thing Hall will be looking closely at in 2014 is staffing levels at area branches. An audit conducted by a firm hired by ORL shows some communities are “out of alignment” with ORL’s plans. “I have to make a plan to bring everybody back into alignment,” said Hall. “I have to look at staffing levels.” In Armstrong, she said, staff is “close to where it should be.” “You’re a little bit over but you already have lean staffing as it is,” said Hall.

Anderson earns party appointment Morning Star Staff

A Vernon resident has taken a lead role within the B.C. Conservative Party. Scott Anderson has been appointed chairperson of the policy and platform committee, which will be responsible for developing the party’s platform for the 2017 provincial election. “My role is helping to develop a common sense economic platform and translate grassroots ideas into party policy,” said Anderson. “In my opinion, (leader) Dan Brooks is doing things the way they should be done, starting early so that by 2017 we are strong, united, and ready to form government in B.C.” Anderson is currently a Scott Anderson director on the management committee of the provincial board of the B.C. Conservative Party, and previously held the role of director of communications. As a candidate in the 2013 provincial election, he held the position of finance committee chairperson.

Late goal leads Monashee to win

Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

David Choi of Concept Physiotherapy collides with Dexter James of NET (right) as they battle for the ball in North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field.

Monashee Football Club is into the win column in the North Okanagan Men’s Soccer League. MFC defeated a shorthanded Revelstoke Stallions squad 3-2 at Marshall Field Wednesday night. The Stallions played the match with just 10 players. Monashee came ready to avenge their loss last week. MFC open the scoring late in the first when the ball came over the box to Alberto Lopez, who made some moves and put it bar down to finish the play. Revelstoke answered right away when the ball got squared to center and a great strike leveled the game. The teams were tied 1-1 at the break. MFC took advantage of having plenty of subs and kept running the tired Stallions down the wings, and were nearly rewarded when Nathan Whitling got a partial breakaway and tried to chip the ball up over the oncoming keeper, who ended up making a great save on the play. Luis Herlandz gave MFC the lead, which quickly evaporated as Revelstoke tied the match 2-2 on a defensive error by the Vernon backline.

With time running out, MFC kept the pressure on and got a few corner kicks, keeping Revelstoke pinned in its own end. Whitling again broke down the wing, crossing a perfectly weighted ball to Lopez, who calmly nodded it home for the winner. Over on Marshall Field #3, the reigning champion North Enderby Timber improved to 2-0 by edging the pesky Peter’s Tirecraft/Concept Physio 1-0. NET’s defence shut down Tirecraft all night, giving away no chances. Devin Janke scored the game’s only goal, burying a first-half penalty kick. No scores were reported from matches between Turn-Key Control and Salmon Arm Outlaws at Marshall, and a Salmon Arm derby between NOD Eagle Homes and Courvas. n Vernon’s Jared Quibell and Taitum MacAulay helped Thompson Okanagan Football Club U15s go undefeated at a weekend tournament. Quibell had the game’s only goal in a 1-0 win over Vancouver Island. He then set up a goal in a 3-1 victory over Washington State. MacAulay recorded his second clean sheet of the event in goal in the final game against the two-time defending provincial champs Surrey United. The game ended 0-0.

Cotter rink adds former world champion to lineup WARREN HENDERSON Black Press

Jim Cotter’s Vernon/ Kelowna rink has added a former world champion to its lineup for the upcoming curling season. Vernon’s Ryan Kuhn, who helped B.C. to a gold medal at the 2000 World Junior Curling Championship, will play third for the Okanagan team in 2014-15. “We’re super excited about Ryan joining us,” Cotter said of Kuhn, who played second for his brother Brad Kuhn in 2000. “He’s a talented player who’s had success playing competitive-

Cotter, who threw fourth rocks last season while Morris called the game, will return to his former role as skip, while Kuhn will play third, Tyrel Griffith will be at second and Rick Sawatsky at lead. “I don’t know how you rate this,” laughed Kuhn, 31, a WestJet pilot. “I’m very

a pair of heartbreaking final games at both the Olympic trials and the Brier. “It was definitely the best season I’ve ever been involved in,” Cotter said. “It was a little tough to take getting that close and falling short twice, but now that time has passed we realized just what we accomplished. It really was a great year.” Still, Cotter said his rink is ready to move on with Kuhn at third, a player with loads of ability. “Seeing Ryan over the years in Super League and at bonspiels, he just made a ton of shots,” Cotter said. “He

plays the up-weight well, he has nice soft game…he does it all well. His personality fits well with us, too, so we’re looking forward to it.” Added Kuhn: “I’ve played in leagues over the years but this is such a great group of guys so I don’t feel any pressure in joining them. We’re just going to go out there and have some fun.” Cotter said his team will play a lighter schedule than the past couple of years, playing in a few World Curling Tour events, as well as possibly the four Grand Slam competitions.

Western Canada and the Yukon taking part in the event in Vernon. The competitive division was extremely competitive this year with teams from Vernon, Quilchena (Merritt), Kamloops, Blueberry (Fort St.John), Sto:lo (Chilliwack), Hustalen (Chase), Team Yukon and Big Guy Lake (Prince George) with many current and former junior players representing their respective areas. In a very fast-paced and rough competitive division final, the Kamloops 10K – an allstar team with players from B.C. and Alberta – prevailed 6-3 over Big

Guy Lake from Prince George Former Pittsburgh Penguin draft pick Casey Pierro Zabotel led the way collecting the hardware for tournament high scorer and tournament MVP. Also collecting all-stars from Kamloops were Drew Rose (defense) and Trent Campbell (forward). From Big Guy Lake, John French (goalie), Dustin Erickson (defense), Ryan Howse (forward), and Josh Garneau (forward) all received-all stars. Big Guy lake made it to the final by defeating Team Yukon in the semifinal earlier in the day. In the masters divi-

sion, teams from Okanagan, Fort St. James, Quilchena, Williams Lake, South Okanagan, Alkali Lake, Butch’s Bandits and Moberly Lake competed for bragging rights. The Okanagan T-Birds went undefeated for the weekend, beating Fort St. James in the final 8-4, making up for a loss over the same squad a year earlier in the master final. Fort St. James had earlier beaten Moberly Lake Lakers to return to the final. While a slightly slower affair, it was still extremely competitive as old rivalries and new ones were renewed.

Great to see so many teams and areas represented in both divisions. In the recreation and ladies division teams from Vernon, Merritt, Williams lake, Blueberry, Sto:lo, and Canim lake competed for the love of the game, with players ranging in skill from beginner to veteran. Fun was had by all. The tournament committee would like to thank all volunteers, weekend staff, and the tournament supporters and sponsors. Also, a special thank you to all the teams and theirs fans – without them, the tournament would not be possible.

Winterhawks take control WARREN HENDERSON

Black Press

Losing just once in the next three games isn’t an option if the Kelowna Rockets have designs on prolonging their 2013-14 season. Nic Petan scored three powerplay goals Wednesday night, leading the hometown Portland Winterhawks to a 5-1 win over the Rockets and a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference final series. Game 5, a must-win for Kelowna, is set for tonight at Prospera Place. The Rockets opened the scoring for the third time in the series, as rookie Nick Merkley connected at 13:28 of the first period for his fourth goal and teamleading 17th point of the playoffs. But the Rockets ran into penalty trouble soon after, and it was all Portland the rest of the way. Petan evened the score on a power play at 18:58

of the opening period, then scored twice more in the second with the man advantage as the Winterhawks tallied five unanswered goals. Oliver Bjorkstrand added a shorthanded marker in the second period, while Paul Bittner scored into an empty net to round out the scoring, as the Winterhawks outshot Kelowna 36-32. In the Eastern Conference final Wednesday, Vernon’s Curtis Lazar and the Edmonton Oil Kings moved to within a victory of a berth in the league championship with a 4-1 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers. The Oil Kings lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 with Game 5 tonight in Edmonton. Lazar was held off the socresheet while Vernon’s Cole Sanford scored the Tigers’ lone goal, his ninth of the post-season, late in the third period on a powerplay.

The North Enderby Timber Celtics and Little Tex Outlaws battled to a 1-1 Div. 1 tie on a cold windy Tuesday at Marshall Field. The Celtics controlled the possession from start to finish but could only manage

one goal on the shorthanded Outlaws, and that goal came late courtesy of newcomer Aryana Jacura, who used her lightning speed to bury one five-hole on the keeper in close after some great midfield set up between Ashley Krause and Emily Keeley. The late goal assured the point after the Outlaws scored early in the first half.

Armstrong ready to rock boxla opener Morning Star Staff

Two years ago, goalie Chad Pieper enjoyed a fantasy-like week trying out with the National Lacrosse League Philadelphia Wings. Last year, Pieper and the Armstrong Shamrocks placed last in the Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League. This year, Pieper and the Rocks are striving to get back to the penthouse with a lot of new faces in the lineup. Armstrong opens the senior C season tonight in Kelowna against the Raiders at Memorial Arena. The Irish home opener is Saturday against the Kamloops Rattlers (7 p.m.) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “We are very excited going

into the year, we have been getting great turnouts at practice, we had a successful preseason, and we are ready to roll,” said Pieper, who doubles as team GM. “We have added three Armstrong Junior Shamrocks graduates: Cartson Schlaak, Sheldon Nelson, and Nathan Marcetta, and we have also added former Vernon Tigers Rob Rintoul, Tyler Plante and Gord Schnare. Kyle Fors and Clayton Schlaak are a couple of fresh rookies who have improved greatly in camp.” The Rocks, coached by Glenn (Stumpy) Mitchell, return a solid core of veterans, including captain Chad Pounder and Steve Clark, who both have Western Lacrosse

Association Senior A experience. Also back are Jarrett Medhurst, Brennan Plante, Kyle Versteeg, retired CFLer Devin (Big Country) Rodger, Shaun Koenig, and Kriss Yargeau. Added Pieper: “We look to rebound from our last-place finish last year, and with the injection of young players, it has energized the veterans and we look to have a strong year.” Each of the three teams will play a balanced 10-game schedule with the playoffs scheduled for July 14-31. The provincial championships follow. Shamrock ticket prices at the door are $6 for adults and $4 for kids and seniors, $20 for a family pass, and all minor

lacrosse kids get in free. Season tickets, at $20, will also be available at the door. They include regular season and playoff home games. The Junior Shamrocks host Kamloops Venom tonight in their home opener at 7:30 p.m. while the Vernon Tigers visit Kamloops Saturday night to jumpstart the Thompson Okanagan Junior League season. Vernon will play its first seven games on the road (the Royal Bank Cup goes May 10-18) before their home opener, Saturday, May 31 against Armstrong at Kal Tire Place. The Shamrocks will entertain Team USA in an exhibition tilt, Friday, June 6, in Armstrong.

Bridge by Phillip Alder OFF THE BEATEN BRIDGE PATH Two unusual books came out this year. First, “Bridge Crosswords” by Jeff Chen (Master Point Press) is what it sounds like: 52 crosswords with a bridge theme, although most of the clues are not bridge related. The crosswords vary in complexity from easy (Monday New York Times level) to challenging (Thursday NYT difficulty). And you will probably enjoy “Bridge Table or What’s Trump Anyway?” by Maggy Simony (Booklocker.com). The author is 93 years old and looks primarily at social bridge, but many famous players are mentioned. There is only one deal included -- see today’s diagram. It purportedly cost

John Bennett of Kansas City his life on Sept. 29, 1929. He and his wife, Myrtle, had been playing a “friendly” session against neighbors Myrna and Charles Hoffman. It first appeared in The Bridge World magazine and is surely an invention. After a very light opening bid, an overcall and a thin jump to four spades, West led the diamond ace, then shifted to the club jack. Declarer won in his hand and took the percentage play in trumps, cashing the king and ace. Now he had to go down. Mrs. Bennett, realizing that her husband could have won 10 tricks, made some uncomplimentary comments about his ancestry. Mr. Bennett leant across the table and slapped his wife. She

went into the bedroom, came out with the family gun, and killed her husband. However, she walked free from the court because she was charged with murder one, which requires the crime to be premeditated, which this clearly was not. She should have been charged with manslaughter.

Some North Okanagan residents could be smiling a little brighter thanks to a dental program for lowincome children and adults. Vernon’s Community Dental Access Clinic will receive $4,000 from the Ministry of Social Development. “Maintaining dental health is so important to the overall health of children and adults alike,” said Social Development Minister Don McRae. “With that in mind, I’m really pleased we’re able to make this extra contribution that will benefit children from low-income families who have urgent dental needs, as well as to dental clinics that provide care to British Columbians from vulnerable populations.” Involved in the initiative is the B.C. Dental Association. “These valuable services support patients in need and operate largely due to the dedication of volunteers, as well as through donor contributions,” said David Ciriani, BCDA president.

News OC sweeps skills competition Morning Star Staff

If the future of our region is dependent on a skilled workforce, the Okanagan is in good shape. Nearly a dozen Okanagan College trades and technology students have returned home after podium finishes at the B.C. Skills Canada competition, held earlier this month in Abbotsford. The college earned 11 medals (three gold, four silver and four bronze) in a series of timed high-pressure skills competitions ranging from automotive collision repair to IT network systems administration. “I’m extremely proud of the results of our students,” said Jim Hamilton, Okanagan College president. “The Skills B.C. competition is a great measure of how our students perform in the real world. They are faced with hands-on applied challenges and are given a set amount of time to make repairs, trouble shoot and come up with relevant solutions. The medals are evidence of our students’ skills and the great instruction they receive.” Winners of the provincial competition are eligible to compete at the nationals, held in June in Toronto. The Okanagan

College students who will represent the province in Toronto are: Vernon’s Dominique Zimmermann, gold in aircraft maintenance; Kelowna’s Ken Anderson, gold in automotive service; and James Webber, gold in electronics, also from Kelowna. For the second year in a row, Okanagan College swept the

electronic engineering competition, taking all three podium spots. Other medalists from Vernon include Derek Volling, aircraft maintenance (bronze); Russell Relling, automotive collision repair (silver); Josh Wams, electronics (silver); and Bryer Edwards, IT network systems administration (silver).

Feydeau farce closes Powerhouse season Oh là là, A Flea in Her Ear weaves a wickedly funny web at Vernon’s community theatre Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Just like Vegas, what happens in a Paris hotel room, should stay in a Paris hotel room. Just ask poor Victor Emmanuel Chandebise, the lead character in Georges Feydeau’s bedroom farce A Flea in Her Ear. The last play of Powerhouse Theatre’s 2013-14 season, and the Vernon community theatre’s entry into this year’s Okanagan Zone Drama Festival, A Flea in Her Ear revolves around a case of mistaken identity, make that identities — the cast is an ensemble of 14 characters, after all. Written in France’s Belle Époque era just before the First World War, and translated in 1960 by British playwright John Mortimer, the comedy has a Fawlty Towers-type of humour, says director Monty Hughes, who has helmed Flea three times before at other playhouses, and is bringing it to Powerhouse for the first time. “It has these characters who are all serious about their situations, but it’s like watching someone hit their thumb with a hammer We find it funny, whereas, they don’t,” said Hughes. “It’s like watching a train wreck involving a whole pile of people.” The wreckage begins when Raymonde Chandebise (played here by Bev Steeves) suspects her husband Victor Emmanuel (Kelly Winston), manager of a life insurance firm, of cheating. With the help of her friend, Lucienne (Monica Kleyn), she concocts a trap involving an anonymous letter that leads to a rendezvous at the sleazy Hotel Coq d’Or. And that’s where the shenanigans really begin. Like Fawlty Towers, Upstairs, Downstairs, or a much less serious Downton Abbey, the characters include the Chandebises’ servants as well as hotel employees, including a very familiar looking and inebriated porter named Poche. “Everyone gets involved in the folly. No one is left out,” said Hughes. “There are these stories within stories.” With all these people on the stage, the physical demands by the actors are significant, and an even bigger job for both Hughes and stage manager Willem Roell to make

Matt Brown (Romain Tournel), left, Monica Kleyn (Lucienne), Bev Steeves (Raymonde), Kelly Winston (Victor Emmanuel), David Jones (Baptistin), Elaine Barling (Olympe) and Patty Garrett (Eugenie) are part of the large ensemble cast in Georges Feydeau’s farce, A Flea in Her Ear, opening at Vernon’s Powerhouse Theatre Wednesday. The play runs to May 10 and will open the Okanagan Zone Drama Festival at Powerhouse May 11. sure everyone is positioned properly. “It is a really complicated play to block. We don’t want actors bumping into furniture or each other,” said Hughes. With the play set in the early part of last century, costume designer Joan Sasges has also had to come up with outfits that reflect the times. “She did a lot of research on that time period; what was in, and what was not,” said Hughes. “The tango came along around then, so women with full corsets couldn’t do the dance. It led to a change in corsets and bustles were out.” Another challenge for the actors, besides trying not to trip one another up, has been the dialect. Besides France, the characters come from different parts of Europe, including German hotel guest Herr Schwarz (Cliff Heinrich), who speaks little or no French, and hot-blooded Spaniard Don Carlos

Homenides De Histangua (Matt MacLaren). Then there’s Victor Emmanuel’s nephew, Camille (Justin Kopy), who has a speech impediment and cannot pronounce consonants properly. To help with the task of accents and enunciation, Hughes enlisted the help of Powerhouse alumnus Jo Jones. “She is helping with the diction and the true pronunciation on how you would say these words,” said Hughes. “She is doing a wonderful job.” Another challenge has been the set. With two acts, one set in the Chandebises’ home and the other at the hotel, set designer Eugene Leveque and set decorator Sarah “Scotty” McLean have had to come up with a way to make the transformation as seamless as possible, said Hughes. “It took a long time to come to grips with the design,” said Hughes. “Because it is a

major set change from the home to hotel, all the decor is different, however, we use similar set pieces but change them. For example, a large bay window in the home becomes a revolving bed in the hotel.” The cast and crew have their work cut out for them as after the play’s regular run, the stage has to be set the very next day for the O-Zone Drama Festival, which starts May 11 at Powerhouse Theatre as host venue. (More information on the festival is available at http://theatrebc.org/zone-festivals/) But first, A Flea in her Ear opens at the Powerhouse Theatre Wednesday. The show runs nightly except Sundays and Mondays at 7:30 p.m. until May 10.

like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Jack White, although they’re less prone to mayhem. The group’s fondness for soul sounds shines through on One Night Romance, a joyful track that features a duet with gospel singer Merry Clayton. And while they delight in brash performance, they keep ears open for forgotten riffs and progressions (Weekend Dance #2). Good Life kicks in with a dirty explosion of raw guitar and lurking bass sounds, livened with squalling harp and slacker/hip hop vocals. They capture the restlessness and offhand irreverence of rural, backwoods blues. There’s no obsessing over pristine tone, showboating or flashy arrangements. Just a whole lotta “go!”

Gone in a nanosecond Transcendence:

r. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is a computer scientist working on creating artificial intelligence. When a group of extremist neoluddites poisons him to thwart his achievements, Caster’s wife and partner Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) decides to attempt transferring his consciousness into a super-computer before he dies. With the help of fellow scientist Max Waters (Paul Bettany), Caster’s transfer is successful and once he gets access to the internet he quickly becomes more powerful. Safe from his murderers in the digital realm, Caster is able to do miraculous things, including using nanotechnology to replicate and repair nearly everything and everyone. Once he discovers he can pass this ability on to other people and things, Castor inhabits more and more hosts. As they become a hive, he comes to believe this new life form is the future of humanity. Friend and scientist Joseph Tagger (Morgan Freeman) helps Evelyn Castor convince her husband to reconsider his actions. We say, Transcendence fails to boot up.” TAYLOR: The film

starts well. I had high hopes, at the 20-minute mark I was sure I was watching a good film, but then a general malaise befell my suspended disbelief. I can accept the fiction aspect of science fiction and that things aren’t going to be explained to me, but I think Transcendence goes too far. I saw the trailer to the film several times so I knew about the inexplicable flying nanotechnology, but I remain disappointed having now viewed the entire film. I’m pretty sure you could have

made this film more interesting by making it more realistic, perhaps also by some better writing or acting. It’s a cool story, portrayed by characters we needed to care more about. HOWE: It took me 20 minutes to find out I was watching a dud. It doesn’t explain much of what is going on: there’s no explanation why the extremists are so against the technology, how Evelyn ended up with billions in her bank account to build the super computer without anyone questioning it, and

why does Kate Mara’s character Bree (the apparent leader of the extremists) always look like a startled rabbit? I thought the acting was well below par for Depp, Bettany and Freeman and I don’t know if that’s down to the actors, script or director, either way it was pretty poor. – Taylor gives Transcendence 2.5 Turing tests out 5. – Howe gives it 2 copper mesh shields out of 5. The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Special Olympics makes plans Volunteers are needed to help get Special Olympians started in summer sports

Morning Star Staff

The month of April is always the start of a new cycle and the Vernon Special Olympic athletes are ready for it. After a long and successful winter with seven different sport programs and several competitions that are leading to the provincial games in 2015, more than 120 local athletes start training in their summer sports. Special Olympics B.C. Vernon provides sports program for individuals of all ages with intellectual disabilities. The society strives to enrich lives, and celebrates personal achievement through positive sport experiences. “We are ready and the enthusiasm of our athletes and coaches is growing,” said Heidi Borgeaud, the local program co-ordinator “More than 30 bocce players will be out in Polson Park every Saturday from mid-April on. Forty athletes are registered for alowpitch and the popular soccer, T-ball, golf and track and field programs are pretty much full as well. We would like to expand but we need more volunteers and more playing fields ” The new and highly anticipated community sports facility at Okanagan College will help provide much-needed room for quality training not only for track and field but all other sport groups including this charity. Vernonites have

All about wheat belly

ardiologist Dr. William Davis has detailed in his book Wheat Belly how eliminating wheat, even whole grain wheat, from your diet is the key to permanent weight loss and relief from a broad spectrum of health and digestive problems. Drawing on decades of clinical studies and the astounding results he has observed after putting more than two thousand of his patients on wheat-free regimens, Davis makes some startling discoveries. Frankenstein wheat Wheat is the dominant source of gluten protein in Dr. Denise DeMonte the human diet, and almost every meal and snack contains foods made with wheat flour. The average North American consumes 133 pounds of wheat per year, equivalent to half a loaf of bread per day. The wheat of today, however, is not the same grain our forbearers ground into their daily bread. Agricultural scientists have genetically modified wheat through hybridization in the past 50 years to generate the greatest yield at the lowest cost. Wheat of yesteryear was a tall grain more than four feet tall. Today’s dwarf wheat stands less than two feet tall, has a stocky stem and can only grow with the assistance of fertilizers; but the yield is about 10 times greater per acre. Unfortunately, hybridization has also drastically changed the structure of wheat gluten proteins resulting in a devastating immune response to wheat protein by humans. Blood sugar nightmare The process responsible for wheat belly begins with high blood sugar (glucose). Glucose stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, the hormone that allows entry of glucose into the cells of the body, converting the glucose into fat. The higher the blood glucose after the consumption of food, the greater the insulin level, the more fat is deposited. The glucose-insulin-fat deposits are especially visible in the abdomen.

reinvesting it in marketing himself. I worry incessantly. Every dime goes toward our debt or his real estate fees. I buy nothing for myself. But worse is how awful he makes me feel. I have lost friends, and my self-esteem is gone. But I love him, and I know he loves and needs me. I am the only one who has not given up on him. What can I do to restore balance in our lives without making him feel that I’m the aggressor? — Wife Dear Wife: There is some subtle emotional abuse and definite manipulation going on, but not from you. And because you are convinced that your husband can’t manage without you, you keep bucking him up even though he takes advantage and belittles you. This is called enabling. Speak to a financial adviser at your bank,

and then consider some low-cost counseling, with or without your husband, and figure out how to break this dysfunctional pattern. Dear Annie: When you receive an e-mail stating you’ve inherited a large sum of money, do you believe it’s legit? I recently received an e-mail from an attorney stating that I have inherited money. Could it be a scam? — Could Use the Cash Dear Could: Yes. If you actually had inherited money, you likely would receive notification from the executor by regular mail. If you are familiar with the bank, call them directly and find out whether there is any substance to this. And while sometimes inheritance money is left unclaimed, you’d have to search for it through your state treasurer’s office. Here are a few

guidelines: If the e-mail is asking for money for any reason, it is a scam. If it is asking for personal banking information, it is a scam. If it asks you to click on a link, it is a scam. Dear Annie: I can’t believe the advice you gave to “Lynn in Sunny Florida,” who isn’t interested in the old friends who moved nearby and constantly call and e-mail. You told her to allow limited contact until they find new friends. Why? There’s absolutely no reason for her to have any contact with them if she chooses not to. — Wouldn’t Do It Dear Wouldn’t: Ignoring the calls and e-mails isn’t working. When “Lynn” told us she didn’t want to create hurt feelings, and there was a chance she would run into these people in public places, we recommended letting them down easy.

It’s not your grandma’s wheat

Left unchecked, the visceral fat deposits in wheat belly produce inflammation signals responsible for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis and colon cancer. Wheat has the extraordinary ability to spike blood sugar levels. Wheat products are super carbohydrates because they are highly digestible and can be converted more efficiently to blood sugar than almost all other carbohydrate foods. Whole wheat bread increases blood sugar as much as or more than sugar. Eating two slices of whole wheat bread is equivalent to drinking a can of pop or eating a candy bar. Highly addictive Wheat is an appetite stimulant that makes you crave more wheat containing and nonwheat foods. When wheat gluten is broken down in your body, opiate-like peptides called exorphins are

created. These exorphins trigger your brain, causing you to eat more food and increase calorie consumption. When this discovery was made, wheat became the go-to additive to put in products. Add a little bit of wheat to a food and make it addictive. As a result, wheat is in almost everything today, including unusual products like chewing gum. Experience has shown that eliminating wheat products and gluten foods from your diet can have surprising and significant benefits. People have lost millions of pounds by simply not eating wheat. By doing so, they are also reducing sugar consumption, fat enemy number two. They are enjoying better health and reduced risk for long-term illness and disease. Hats off to Dr. Davis for championing Wheat Belly. Sometimes not enough Like everything

else, however, avoiding wheat and gluten does not work for everyone. For some it doesn’t work at all, others have moderate success or will lose weight but gain it back. While we all want simple methods and immediate results, there are other processes going on that conflict with and prevent the elimination of wheat from being a single solution. For example, as we age, hormone imbalances occur. Everyone’s progesterone levels decline dramatically and estrogen can become dominant. This results in excessive fat storage. Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) impairs your body’s metabolism and ability to lose weight. Occurring in up to half of all women, hypothyroidism must be treated for successful and permanent weight loss. In addition, dietary and lifestyle factors such as inactivity and inflamma-

tory foods need to be addressed. If you get the results you want from wheat belly, fantastic. But if it isn’t working quite right, or you want a more comprehensive and complete

Evidence for Design: Bones of an Argument. It is an amazing fact that a broken bone does repair itself in 6 weeks. A solid lump of new bone; a callus, swells out and tapers away on either side of the fracture. At this point, the bone cells stop multiplying and special bone-eating cells: osteoclasts, move in until the bone is back to its original shape.

feature event: meet the artist at the lumby library

pril’s featured artist is Nina Westaway, who moved to Lumby in 2004 and has participated in Lumby Artist Connections, receiving instruction in acrylic and watercolour painting for the last several years. She feels drawn to abstract painting, but is learning how to negotiate her style of semi-realistic representation with emphasis on the calligraphic, expressive way of putting her marks on paper and a love of colour. She is a beginning artist: she wants to take herself seriously but not too seriously. You will find a somewhat representative sample of small projects that she has undertaken over the last 10 years since living in Lumby and the North Okanagan. You can meet Nina and hear her talk about her experiences in art and do some demonstrating Saturday, April 26 from noon until 1 p.m. at the Lumby branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, located in the Lumby Community Centre at 2250 Shields Rd.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Having a chance to drive the base car all the way up to the Golf R showed just how good the base car is. Zack Spencer Visit the photo gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

New Golf family offers quality at the right price The new seventh generation VW the Golf and GTI and will come in at roughly the same price as the Golf arrives later this spring with last R, right around $40,000 but a 2015 model designation. fully loaded. I have already had a chance to drive three examples of the new Inside edition in Europe so I can offer The upside to having a slightly you a sneak peek at what this bigger platform is interior space very popular VW has going for it and the cabin of the latest Golf This new Golf before it arrives here. does feel bigger, especially sideThe all-new car might look like to-side. The centre console is family is set to the previous Golf but it is built on wider and the dash is fitted with take on some very a platform that is shared across all-new switches and dials. Once established players the VW group and represents again, the feel and look is almost in the compact a massive investment for the Audi quality. Having a chance to German manufacturer. drive the base car all the way up segment. This new platform, called MQB, to the Golf R showed just how Zack Spencer enables the engineers to build all good the base car is. The only kinds of new products, be they difference is the sportier seats bigger, smaller, wider or taller. What went into and splashier trim on the more expensive cars, the design of the Golf represents a big step but the overall design is the same from car to forward for Volkswagen as the latest model is car and all exemplify the simple, yet elegant 100kg lighter than the outgoing car but it is approach VW takes with all its interiors. bigger, stiffer and safer than before. Drive Looks Gone is the old 2.5-litre. 5-cylinder, replaced It could be argued that the new Golf looks too by an all-new 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder much like the older model but interacting with base engine. This engine too produces 170 but this new product quickly displays a level of is more efficient, responsive and features state refinement and finish that might be found in an of the art technology.

the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S. Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 1.8L turbo with 170hp, 2.0L turbo with 210hp, 2.0L turbo with 300hp and 2.0L diesel.

driveway Import manufacturers provide the most sizzle in New York By Keith Morgan

NEW YORK – There was more sizzle in my New York steak dinner than on the show floor at the Big Apple’s international auto show. It seems the Big Four shot their lightning bolts at the preceding Detroit and Los Angeles auto extravaganzas and left it to the import manufacturers to dazzle here. Nissan did not disappoint with the unveiling of a classy looking crossover in the shape of the all-wheel drive 2015 Nissan Murano. The mid-size model first showed up in 2002 and this new model marks the birth of the third-generation. The Nissan-named V-Motion nose and boomerang-shaped taillights ensure it makes an impression on the observer, coming and going, and distinguishes itself from its rivals. Inside, up to five passengers can expect more of a luxury ride than they might have enjoyed in the outgoing version – heated and cooled front seats

will impress those upfront. The trend in this segment to include huge sunroofs continues here. Under the hood, Nissan stays with the trusty 3.5-litre six-cylinder powerplant matched to a continuously variable transmission. Expect to see the Murano in the showrooms at the tail end of the year. Before moving on, the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept should be mentioned as it offers a clue to what the new Maxima might resemble. And boy, is it a looker despite the horrible orange colour of the show car! It too features a panoramic roof stretching almost from the windshield to the rear window. A production model version is expected later in the year, which suggests the L.A. show might benefit from that timetable. Any new Toyota Camry is an instant hit, especially in North America where it’s been the best selling car for 12 years. Despite that, the Japanese man-

2015 Toyota Camry.

KEITH MORGAN

ufacturer launched an all-new 2015 model, just three years after introducing a redesign. It incorporates design touches now appearing in sibling models, including a deeper grille Keith Morgan that more resembles an upmarket Lexus. Interior materials are upgraded and a large central display matches the design trend of its competitors. Two trims are added; a sporty XSE with some luxury touches and a Hybrid SE. Toyota sticks with its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, and 3.5-litre, six-cylinder engines plus its Hybrid Synergy Drive. Hyundai would like to put a serious dent in the Toyota Camry success story with its own mid-size sedan – the redesigned Sonata. It’s likely the introduction of a sharp looking Sonata in 2011 helped prompt Toyota into taking a serious look at upping the ante in the Camry. Other competitors have also risen

’’

to the challenge. Now the seventh-generation, newly styled, sharper looking 2015 Sonata raises the bar again with improved ride and handling plus advanced driver assistance and safety equipment. Unlike the Camry, the Sonata stays with purely four-cylinder engines. Standard is a 2.4-litre power plant and a turbocharged 2.0L four is an option. The one domestic manufacturer that did show up with something more exciting than the rest was Jeep, which introduced the compact Renegade. It is the iconic brand’s first foray into the small SUV segment. Its funky looks and fuel efficiency should make it an urban dweller hit but it also boasts best-in-class off-road capability, which may just bring in buyers from the growing outdoor adventure seekers. Two engine choices: a 2.4-litre Tigershark engine with MultiAir2 paired to the segment’s first nine-speed automatic transmission, or a 1.4-litre MultiAir Turbo engine with six-speed manual transmission. Prices for all of the above closer to launch when pencils have been sharpened and each figure out how they can undercut competitors! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii. They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world. While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought. Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right? One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected. With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks. My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition! Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.” Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition. Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle. I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school. As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition. Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold! Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more. Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that. All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.

*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

Vernon Hyundai th 4608 - 27 St. TAG HERE PAPER TO INSERT DEALER Vernon, 250-275-4004 D#30922

The old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” wasn’t coined in reference to cars, but it might as well have been. Some cars, such as the 1963-67 Corvette Sting Ray and Jaguar E-Type, are almost universally admired, while others are passionately loved by some and loathed by others. Here are five of the most polarizing: 1. 1963-64 Studebaker Avanti: The Avanti was a Hail Mary play to save the ailing Studebaker Corporation with a stunning European-style GT car. Ardent Avanti fans point to its timeless styling, which was supervised by the great Raymond Loewy, and the fact that the car remained in production in one form or another for five decades. Non-fans find the grille-less front end and porthole-like headlights to be a non-starter. A recent uptick in prices may indicate that Avanti lovers will have the last laugh on this one. 2. 1971-73 Buick Riviera: The Boattail Riviera was one of the last truly audacious GM creations, and William Mitchell pulled out all of the stops with a huge, dramatic design including a pointed boattail reminiscent of some great 1930s cars. Haters just find it huge and over-the-top. 3. 1980-85 Cadillac Seville: The slant back or bustle trunk Seville was —like the Boattail Riviera — in some ways a throwback to the 1930s-1950s, cribbing a trunk from Bentleys and Daimlers of the era. Some people will come to blows over the merits of this version of the 1980-85 Seville, while some find it to be a caricature; it’s best if these two groups aren’t sharing the same air space. Regardless, nobody sits on the fence about this car. 4. 1965-69 Chevrolet Corvair: The first-generation Corvair, introduced in 1959, was a pleasing and clean design. But the second-generation was drop-dead gorgeous. No less an authority than David E. Davis, Jr., writing for Car and Driver, called it one of the most beautiful cars America had produced during the post-war era. But many bow-tie fans — used to fins and lots of chrome or the long hood, short rear deck look of the Camaro and Chevelle — found nothing to like about the Corvair. I tend to agree with the fans here. It’s a beautiful little car. 5. 1955-75 Citroën DS: In its native France, the DS can do no wrong. The letters “D-S” in French sound remarkably like the French word for “goddess.” Then the French also think that Jerry Lewis is a god. To most Americans, the sci-fi style of the DS just comes off as whale-like and weird. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

NEIL HALLAS

Lost & Found

May 4, 1962 – April 20, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Neil Hallas following a brief illness. He passed away peacefully at age 51 with his loving wife by his side. Neil was born May 4, 1962 to Ken and Hazel Hallas in Montreal, YC. He was a very popular and acƟve child in hockey and skiing, and would always put on a diving or waterskiing display at the coƩage. Neil had a Ňair for the arts as a painter and arƟst as well as a keen ear and passion for music and enjoyed spreading this joy to others, passing on his love of music to his children. He also had a love of animals and rescued too many to count over the years! Neil moved to Vernon in 1998 where he married his best friend Michelle in 2001. He was a devoted husband and father who enjoyed taking his family on many adventures. He felt lucky to live here and loved the Okanagan. He was the best Daddy anyone could ever ask for and spent countless hours taking his children out to play and explore. Neil’s posiƟve aƫtude about all the challenges in his life inspired those around him. He truly lived his life to the fullest and counted every day as a blessing. He was a kind and sensiƟve man who was always able to think of others above himself and no maƩer what challenges he faced, he always believed he was lucky and things could always be worse. Neil will be deeply missed by his wife of 13 years Michelle, his children Keenan, Alex and Dylan, his brothers Ken, Ian and Craig (Tanya), and his mother in-law Diane Joly as well as many other relaƟves and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Ken and Hazel Hallas and his father in-law Ivan Joly.
