Bid sparks water fight

HOME ENGULFED

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

A mobile home in Coldstream is gutted as flames roll through it and spread up onto the grassy hillside and into a woodpile Thursday afternoon. The Buchanan Road homeowner was in a workshop at the time, away from the home, when the fire broke out. The cause is under investigation. See more details online at www.vernonmorningstar.com and see Sunday’s issue of The Morning Star for an update.

Ski coach apologizes in court ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

His voice quivering, barely above a whisper, and fighting back tears, Jason Christopher Paur looked directly at Vernon Provincial Court judge Mark Takahashi and apologized. The 44-year-old Jason Paur former Seattle crosscountry ski coach asked to speak before Takahashi at what was to be his sentencing hearing Tuesday, after Paur earlier pleaded guilty to two counts of secretly observing/recording nudity in a private

place, and one count of possession of child pornography in connection with an incident at Silver Star Mountain Resort in December 2013. “I am profoundly sorry for all the intense pain and suffering I have caused,” said Paur. “I take full responsibility for my actions. I am struggling to find words adequate to describe the regret I have...I am totally consumed by remorse for what I did.” Court heard how Paur was the head cross-country ski coach for a private school that was on a five-day trip to Silver Star, arriving on Dec. 8, 2013. The group, which included nine girls aged 14 to 20, two boys aged 17 and 18 and two adult chaperones, were staying in a chalet.

Six of the girls shared a room as did the other three girls. Three of the girls were in a bedroom when they discovered a video camera near a curtain, and it was recording. The girls looked at the video and took their finding to a chaperone and to Paur, who immediately said he would return to Kelowna. He was driven there by a chaperone and it was in Kelowna that Paur was arrested. The video camera’s SIM card had three videos, including two which showed Paur setting up the camera and leaving a bedroom shortly before a girl walks in. In both cases, the girls were wearing only towels and disrobed.

Emotions ran high as Greater Vernon politicians went head-to-head over water infrastructure. Director Gyula Kiss called for a moratorium on all master water plan expenditures and for those items to be removed from the 2015 Greater Vernon Advisory Committee budget Thursday. “I see this as a direct end-run around us already approving the budget,” said director Bob Fleming. Kiss argued the items should not proceed because a majority of voters did not back a November referendum to borrow $70 million for capital works. “If the master water plan has no funding, there is no master water plan,” he said. However, opposition came from director Mike Macnabb. “Everything we do to make things (water utility) more efficient came out of the master water plan. The referendum was defeated but the master water plan is still there.” Zee Marcolin, utility manager, told the committee that most projects outlined in the 2015 capital budget don’t include items from the master water plan. It was also pointed out that despite Kiss’ motion, the Regional District of North Okanagan board had already approved GVAC’s 2015 budget. “The majority of the people present passed the budget. By revisiting it now, we are rehashing something the majority has already decided,” said director Catherine Lord. Kiss had his supporters, though, including director Bob Spiers, who says the six projects in the master water plan should be stalled until the document can be revisited. “Are they completely necessary?” he said. Given the referendum results, director Scott Anderson suggested master water plan projects shouldn’t proceed, but vice-chairman Jim Garlick countered that the referendum was about borrowing $70 million. “It was not a vote on the master water plan,” said Garlick, adding the Interior Health Authority’s water quality standards must be met. Ultimately, Kiss’ motion was defeated. Also on Thursday, GVAC directors increased 2015 water rates by two per cent. “Two per cent is the lowest since I’ve been sitting here and it reflects what the service needs,” said Fleming.

Tragic end to search

Fight in Flight

Morning Star Staff

Carla Hunt PHoto

A juvenile bald eagle is harassed by a crow as they take to the sun-soaked skies. Blue skies are forecast all weekend long, with Environment Canada calling for temperatures in the double digits.

Sentencing hearing continues Continued from A1 Court heard victim impact statements from the girls and their families, how they felt betrayed by Paur, a man they trusted, a man they loved having as a coach and a man who served as a confidante. Paur, a freelance journalist as well as a coach, gave the commencement address at the school in 2006. Also read into record were character references for Paur, two of which had him with his head in his hands and tears welling up. They were from his sister and his father, a man who died while Paur was in custody.

“I am so sorry to have put my family through this ordeal,” said Paur, who had no prior record in Canada or the U.S. There was no evidence that suggested Paur planned to distribute any of the videos. Crown counsel was seeking six-month sentences for each of the three counts, along with providing a DNA sample, having Paur added to the sex offender registry and ordered not to be within a couple of kilometres of areas in Canada where kids under the age of 18 could be, like schools, parks, arenas and daycare centres. Crown also called for an Internet ban for Paur.

Defence lawyer Richard Barton was in the unusual position of asking for a longer sentence in order that it add up to Paur’s time already served in custody. Barton opposed the orders to keep Paur away from specific places and from using the Internet, saying the web is how he makes his income. The sentencing hearing ran long and a new date for sentencing was to be fixed on Thursday. Upon the end of his Canadian legal matters, Paur is to be sent back to the U.S. where he faces similar charges in the United States.

The case of a missing Enderby woman suffering from dementia has ended tragically. Several people out fishing Wednesday afternoon located the body of Barbara Nell Derenowski, 73, on a recreational road near Salmon Lake in the Douglas Lake Ranch area near Merritt. Foul play is not suspected in her death. “Early indications appear that Barbara got her truck stuck in snow on a road that is not used during the winter,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “It appears she got out and walked and likely succumbed to the weather conditions.” Derenowski was last seen by her care worker at her home in the 100 block of Salmon Arm Drive in Enderby on Monday at about 2:30 p.m. Her blue 1998 Ford extended cab pickup bearing B.C. licence plate FF-5598 was also missing from her residence. The truck was found on the recreational road, some distance away from the body. Derenowski did not possess a valid driver’s licence. There was a thought from her care worker that Derenowski may have been headed to Lake Country to visit friends. This case continues to be investigated by the B.C. Coroners Service and the Merritt RCMP.

A partner with Davidson Lawyers, Ian Hawes hasn’t been at the office closing many business or real estate deals of late. Instead, the father of two has been spending countless hours at the rink ensuring all systems are go for the B.C. Ringette A and B Championships starting this morning in Vernon and Lumby. There are 38 teams in eight divisions. Vernon last hosted the B.C. playdowns in 2009 and Hawes says the goal this time is to increase exposure and attract more players. “It certainly is excit-

ing for the kids,” said Hawes, a marathon runner with a personal best of two hours, 57 minutes. “It’s a big event and to play in the provincial championships is still a big deal. “This is a perfect time for Vernon ringette. It gives us an opportunity to showcase the sport to the people of Vernon and the North Okanagan. I kid around and say ringette is the best sport nobody’s ever heard of. If we can use this event as a springboard for more kids and parents knowing about the sport, it’d be great.” The Greater Vernon Ringette Association is home to 10 teams, with 126 players aged five to 19. More than 1,000 elementary school children will be bused or will walk to Civic Arena to watch the Vernon U14A Rush tangle with Shuswap today at 10:45 a.m. “We’re looking to place as high as we can; we think we can medal,” said speedy Rush centre Aly Carter.

Hawes says the association numbers are similar to others with the same population. “The state of ringette in Vernon is relatively strong,” said Hawes. “It’s been a challenge the last couple of years to play the game. I know that hockey and other sports struggle with numbers. I think we lose more kids to screens than to other sports.” Garrett Adams is one of the longestserving male goalies in the female-dominated game. “Some of the boys get kidded at school, but really, they’re the smartest kids in town,”

laughed Hawes. Hawes took over as president from Ron Racine three years ago and is looking for his own replacement. He praises veteran coaches Warren Carter and Ryan Williamson for mentoring the players in a positive way. “Our coaches are teaching the kids about sportsmanlike dedication, teamwork, hard work, sportsmanship, all the things that matter in life. We’re building human beings by teaching them life skills. They will be better people for playing ringette.” Hawes will be watching his girls, Bryn, and Rhys, play in the U14 and U12 groups this weekend.

Saige Woodliffe and Eva Haldane are besties and teammates with the Vernon Under 16 entry. “We’re very fast, we check hard, we pass well and we never give up,” said Woodliffe, a 16-year-old forward in her ninth year of ringette. “I like to score goals. I’m aggressive and I’m a pretty good skater.” Haldane is in her eighth season and plays defence. “I try my best to keep the ring out of our zone,” said Haldane, who turns 16 on March 31, the same birthday as hockey legends Gordie Howe and Pavel Bure. “We wanna win provincials. Kelowna will be our hardest competition. We were pretty even this year.” Free Come Try Ringette (CTR) sessions are held a few times a year. The next session is March 14, noon, at Kal Tire Place. The association also offers gym ringette which Dawn Ponich has been running the last five years. The program is aimed at exposing students to the sport, and eventually trying it out on ice. Ponich is currently in 11 different Vernon elementary schools.

Reports of a structure fire at an Armstrong school had firefighters scrambling Wednesday. Initial reports indicated that flames had been seen inside Len Wood Middle School at about 2 a.m. “We had a huge turnout because of the potential,” said Ian Cummings, ArmstrongSpallumcheen fire chief.

Film funding demanded richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Three communities funding the film industry are pressuring those jurisdictions sitting on the sidelines. Armstrong, Coldstream and Vernon, the only participants in the Okanagan Film Commission service, agreed Wednesday to ask the three other municipalities and five electoral areas to contribute. “It’s important for everyone to support it,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream director. “Coldstream can make the argument that we don’t directly benefit (from the movie industry) but our residents do benefit.” Most of the movies shot recently have been in Enderby and Lumby, and while Enderby is considering getting involved financially, Lumby remains reluctant. “It’s too late for this year because the village’s 2015 budget has been adopted,” said Kevin Acton, Lumby director, adding that he won’t guarantee a grant in 2016. “I want to look at the (OFC) financials for the

last few years because we have to justify where our taxpayers’ money is going.” The OFC received $24,000 from RDNO last year and it’s seeking $35,000 for 2015. On Wednesday, the three participants decided to provide $33,000 (RDNO’s maximum tax requisition is $34,000 based on net taxable income and some funds go to administering the RDNO service). Based on the $33,000, Enderby would provide about $1,100 if it was part of the service and Lumby would grant about $830. The total economic impact from 20 film productions in the entire Okanagan in 2014 was $17.5 million, while OFC’s budget was $180,000.

Referendum details outlined Morning Star Staff

Lake Country residents will have their say on the future of a rail corridor. Voters will be asked April 25 if they support borrowing up to $2,615,000 to fund the purchase of a 50 per cent share of the 16 kilometres of the Canadian National rail line in the district. “It is critical for all residents to come out to vote, to ensure they have their say in shaping our community’s future and to be informed in making that decision,” said Mayor James Baker. Referendum voting will be held the following dates and at locations in all four wards: April 15 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the municipal office April 16 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Oyama Community Hall April 17 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Carr’s Landing fire hall April 20 from 10 a.m. to 7

referendum. To date, CN has been very understanding of our challenge and is willing to work with us.” The need for a referendum arose after 960 residents signed an alternate approval process petition blocking the District of Lake Country from borrowing $2.6 million. The total asking price for the rail line from Kelowna to Coldstream is $22 million and the other funding partners are the City of Kelowna and the Regional District of North Okanagan.

Up in the air

here is a photograph on my fridge that captures me at five years old, along with my family, all of us standing from youngest to oldest on the front stairs of our house. We were on our way to the airport to fly to Montreal, and then Halifax for my uncle’s wedding. Our wardrobe looks as though it’s been lifted from the costume department of Mad Men, given the era in which the photo was taken. My mom is in a stylish suit and heels, my brother is in a jacket and tie, and we girls are wearing dresses, complemented with little white gloves. Back then, flying was Katherine Mortimer not something people did every day. When we made summertime trips to the Okanagan from Vancouver, we drove on the old Fraser Canyon highway. We didn’t just hop on a plane for a 40-minute flight. Flying back then was an occasion. People dressed up for it, and the whole experience, from check-in to landing, was something special. The flight attendants had an almost mythical air about them: elegant, refined and ready to attend to your every need. I have some other family photos of us on that same flight: my parents with cocktails in hand and enjoying an in-flight smoke (don’t judge; it was the ‘60s). I was more than happy to see in-flight smoking abolished, and I don’t particularly want to get all dressed up to fly, but there are other aspects of flying I miss. The main thing is good old-fashioned customer service. To be sure, there are airlines out there that provide exceptional service, from friendly and efficient, to sublime. Many years ago, I was blessed to have enjoyed a number of flights on that great charter airline, Wardair, a company that went above and beyond, from meals served on

At RAndoM

Royal Doulton china, to the upstairs lounges on its 747s that were open to everyone. It sadly went out of business once it started offering regularly scheduled flights, but what fun while it lasted. And by all accounts Max Ward treated his employees well, which tends to translate into those same employees treating passengers well. I think airline service started going downhill after 9/11 when security, understandably, started getting much tighter. I’m happy to know that security has tightened up, but it seems as though some of the joy has gone out of flying as well. I can accept the increase in fares because of rising fuel costs. I can even put up with having to pay for my checked bags. But I don’t think I should have to pay to insure that I am seated next to my own child on a flight. But yes, even if you enter the age of your child while booking online, some airlines do absolutely nothing to make sure you are sitting together, unless you pay for the privilege. On a short flight, my daughter — an experienced traveller — would be just fine sitting away from me. But if this happened when she was a toddler, she would have snapped. And I love children, but I don’t particularly want to entertain someone else’s three-year-old when all I want to do is settle in for a good read. But if an airline does separate me from my child it would be nice if the ticket agents were at least vaguely concerned about it and attempted to rectify the situation. When this happened to me a few weeks ago, I was instead greeted with disdain and hostility. I know we all have off days, myself included, but when not one, but two agents have me almost reduced to tears then something is wrong. I have a sneaking suspicion that some airlines do not treat their employees well, and it’s the passengers who pay the price, in more ways than one. Ever since that first flight I took at the age of five, I still marvel at the fact that I can get on a plane in one time zone and land in another, all on the same day. I just wish getting there was a little more fun.

Anxiety and downright hostility towards Greater Vernon’s failed $70 million water referendum still exists. However, those emotions can’t overshadow everything the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee does. On Thursday, director Gyula Kiss unsuccessfully attempted to have a moratorium placed on any master water plan expenditures and for those items to be pulled out of GVAC’s 2015 budget because the plan does not have electoral assent. “If the master water plan has no funding, there is no master water plan,” he said. However, one can make the argument that the master water plan is simply a blueprint for future works. Yes there is a need to reconsider the scope of the plan given the failed referendum but keep in mind that the works are mandated by the provincial government’s water quality guidelines, and they will proceed if funding is available. “Everything we do to make things (water utility) more efficient came out of the master water plan. The referendum was defeated but the master water plan is still there,” said director Mike Macnabb. And while there are some controversial items in the master water plan, such as filtration on Duteau Creek, others are relatively basic, such as promoting increased water conservation. Kiss’ motion, had it been successful, would have reopened GVAC’s 2015 budget, which has already received the green light from the Regional District of North Okanagan board. That would have possibly delayed the setting of water rates and proceeding with critical system upgrades this year. In the end, the outcome of the November referendum is known far and wide and the battle doesn’t need to be fought again. It’s time to move on.

Bring back participatory democracy

couple of recent letters to the editor have taken MP Colin Mayes to task for various statements he has made in his community reports. The letters have made me think about what kind of Canada I want to live in, and I have concluded that it is not the vision of Mr. Mayes or the Conservative Party of Canada. In November 2013, Mr. Mayes obtained a ticket for me, as one of his constituents, to attend Question Period in the House of Commons. The custom is to place visitors directly opposite the party of their MP, and I was able to stare at the Conservative majority for the entire time. It was not pleasant. The backbenchers were mostly bored. Who could blame them? They had no voice. Almost all questions were answered by one person, MP Paul Calandra, who responded to several reasonable questions from Tom Mulcair, leader of the opposition, by reading the same answer over and over from a script he held in his hand. Calandra’s answers were intended to

BIKE TRAFFIC Are we allowed to ride bicycles in our (lovely?) downtown Vernon? There is no bicycle path on 30th Avenue in the heart of our city. Bikes are not allowed on sidewalks, yet when I ride on the road, I get irate honks from folks wanting to race to the next stoplight/pedestrian crossing/parking car/door opening...where I meet them again - because riding a bike through the core of the busy little town takes pretty much the same speed as a car. It is extremely unsafe for a bike to squeeze into the path of opening car doors, just to let a car pass (and then meet them again 50 feet later). We are allowed to ride down the street aren't we? I think this needs to be clarified for the bike riders and the drivers. If anywhere we should be allowed to ride down the road it should be the very centre of our town, and if anywhere cars should drive slower - or avoid cyclists - it should be in the heart of the city.

make fun of the democratic process. I saw the same thing in a recent Question Period when Mr. Mulcair again asked reasonable questions about the role of Canadians in military conflict and the sole responding Conservative MP read from a meaningless script. This has led me to conclude that we may have the right to vote, but we do not have participatory democracy where all voices are heard and acknowledged, even after the election.

I recently heard that Penticton council is shifting to a 30-kilometre speed limit downtown with the slogan "Slow down and enjoy downtown." I just drove downtown and 30 kilometres fits for me - 50 seems too much there. Bikes go about 30 as well. Daniel Stark CROSSWALK SAFETY I don’t know for sure who is responsible for crosswalk safety on Hospital Hill but someone has to take some responsibility. I have sent enquiries over several months to MLA Eric Foster hoping he would have some valuable information but I have not received a reply. I am regularly at that T-intersection leading to the front door of the hospital. It astounds me to frequently see people trying to cross the highway in that poorly marked, unlit crosswalk early in the morning and in the evening.

In a participatory democracy, the ruling majority would not push through huge amounts of legislation that hide their desires to control the general public, as the Conservatives have done in their omnibus bills. The prime minister would be available to the general public to answer for policies, not just play to the base. For example, crime has gone down so the Conservatives enact much more severe penalties.

It’s a death-defying act as far as I am concerned. Recently, I watched a woman hesitantly attempting a safe crossing while shrouded in fog and extremely low-light conditions. Thankfully a large tractor-trailer had managed to stop on the downhill side just above her and waited while other traffic followed suit. It’s a nightmare accident waiting to happen. I’ve seen cars smoke their tires going uphill trying to stop! There were several incidences on that hill last year and the fix is so easy. The signage is all dull, tarnished, black and white that blends beautifully into the gloom, fog or dark of night. The modern, bright green signs that seem to be popping up everywhere would really stand out on that hill and a few lights would make that crosswalk so much more visible. A demand light would be spectacular. Surely it is a concern for others as well. Do it for the workers, hospital visitors, residents, and drivers.

One tragic accident will be one too many. Glenna Miles TOURISM TROUBLE I read with amusement any time more money is spent on promoting tourism to Vernon. Excuse me. What exactly are they supposed to stop for? A tourism info booth they can't find and dirty beaches with no facilities and most with dog feces. At Kal Beach, you risk your life crossing the road after searching for a parking space. We missed the boat when we allowed private home owners to take over the lake frontage. Take a look at Kelowna and their waterfront development, Penticton, with motels across from the beaches and litter barrels especially designed to go underground, so no overflow etc. Then they close Kal Beach at night, so no chance to take tourists for an evening stroll. So you might as well turn it over to the dogs. R. Schmidt

Poverty has increased so the Conservatives make it more impossible than ever to determine the true numbers of the poor. I was as shocked as all other Canadians by the events of Oct. 22 in the House of Commons, but does this mean we should all be subject to further surveillance and loss of our rights and freedoms? Fifteen years ago, the thought of the Alliance/Reform Party ruling Canada seemed comical (remember Stockwell Day’s wetsuit?). Yet the party of Mr. Day, Mr. Duffy and Ms. Wallin seems to be in power. At least in the forthcoming election we have alternatives. Some people may choose to vote for Pierre Trudeau’s son who may or may not have the qualities (or lack of them) of his father. Or, we could all try saying, “Prime Minister Mulcair.” It’s possible. In the words of Jack Layton, as quoted by Jacqui Gingras, “Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done.” M.L. de Zwart

Gord is up for the job roger knox Morning Star Staff

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP’s newest trainee is interested in police work, curious, and fearless. He’s also hungry, friendly and licks a lot of hands. Gord, a 12-week-old purebed German shepherd pup, comes to Vernon via the RCMP’s dog training facility in Innisfail, Alta. He has been assigned to Const. Matt Taylor for training as a potential future police service dog. “I’ll work with him locally on the basics of his tracking, criminal apprehension and familiarization and socialization to get him used to everything they might encounter being a police dog,” said Taylor. “He stays with me for a year or 18 months,

depending, then goes on to Innisfail. If they meet all the requirements, they’ll go to the dog handler’s course and get paired with a potential handler. They’ll go through the course together as a team, and if they graduate from the training course, they’ll hit the road as a dog handling team.” One Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP dog hopeful didn’t make it. It was sold to a local family. According to Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk, one in three police dogs make it into the RCMP police service dog program and two of three make it into some form of policing. “A dog may not make all of our standards but other police forces will take that dog strictly for drug work or tracking or crowd control,” said Molendyk. Gord is Taylor’s second dog. His last one went on to Kamloops to be with a handler for more training in the spring. Gord, a product of two RCMP service dogs, has his own kennel and house set up at Taylor’s home. “He’s there when I get home, there when I get up,” said Taylor, who picked up Gord when the dog was eight-weeks-old. “I got him the first day he left his mom. He was shipped on a plane, I picked him up at the airport and I slept on the floor with a hand in his crate. He cried all night. It’s definitely 24-7 with the dog for the first little bit.” Gord has just started tracking training. “For 12 weeks old, he’s fairly smart,” said Taylor. roger knox/morning star

That total declared on her expense form is the replacement value of signs used in previous elections. Fraser did not spend any money on the 2014 election campaign. We apologize for the error.

A working relationship between the councils of Splatsin and the Township of Spallumcheen is expanding.

What kid isn’t excited to have a birthday party and receive lots of gifts from friends and family? Certainly not Tristan McKenzie of Armstrong. McKenzie, a defenceman/forwardwhen-needed with the North Okanagan White Knights Novice Division hockey team, turned eight on Dec. 4. But rather than receive gifts for his birthday, McKenzie asked for cash donations. “His plans were to donate all of the money to B.C. Children’s Hospital,” said his proud mom, Lydia Jovanovic. Though he did receive a few gifts, McKenzie was able to return them to get the cash and he ended up raising $433.25. But McKenzie’s story doesn’t end there. With the White Knights slated to play in a tournament in Hope on Valentine’s Day weekend, Lydia figured she and her son would go into Vancouver after the tournament and donate the money in person. On Monday, Feb. 16, McKenzie walked into B.C. Children’s Hospital and made his donation. And there’s still more. At the hospital, McKenzie and his mom were able to visit with a dear family friend who is battling cancer. “She is the true hero and it was amazing to see her smile,” said Lydia. “We had some great laughs and brought her some stuff to keep her busy for her last couple rounds of chemo.”

Thomas Aldworth of the Vernon Vipers tries to get the puck past Merritt netminder Jonah Imoo and defenceman Griffyn Martin in B.C. Hockey League playoff action Wednesday night at Kal Tire Place.

Vipers take 2-0 lead

KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Fabulous goaltending, a few heavy hits, lots of chirping and some heated scrums after the whistle. It’s official: the Vernon Vipers and Merritt Centennials are in full playoff mode and have discovered they really don’t like one another. All-planet disturbance specialist Riley Brandt led the Viper hit parade as they shaded the Cents 2-1 and 3-2 to take an early lead in the best-of-seven B.C. Hockey League Interior Division semifinal playoff series. “Just gotta play playoff hockey,” said Brandt, moments after the 2-1 victory Wednesday night before 1,338 fans at Kal Tire Place. “You gotta get under their skin and so far it’s worked so I gotta keep doing that. They don’t like me too much. I’ve heard all the chirps and I’ve been called just about everything in the dictionary.” The Vipers outshot the Cents 41-19 Wednesday night but couldn’t solve net detective Jonah Imoo, voted first star. The

shots were almost even Tuesday night as Anthony Latina scored 3:28 into suddendeath overtime in front of 1,260 fans. Games 3 and 4 are set for Friday and Saturday night at the Nicola Valley Arena in Merritt. A fifth game, if required, goes Monday night in Vernon. “We’ll stick to our same game-plan and we won’t have any troubles,” said Brandt of the switch to the tiny ice surface in Merritt. “We’re a good group together, we’re physical and we gotta keep playing with that effort and urgency and we’ll be successful.” Imoo flashed leather to stone Mackenzie Bauer midway through the first period after an errant pass right in front for his finest save. Jarrod Schamerhorn made 18 stops, including a handful of game-savers, for the win. He relieved an injured Danny Todoyschuk late in Game 1. “He (Schamerhorn) definitely stood on his head again,” said Brandt. “It’s tough to see Danny go down, but we’ve always got Schammy right there again. It’s great to have those two goalies. Hopefully, Danny’s

Come in and taste

back soon but Schammy can keep kicking for us.” Mitch Profeit of the KIJHL North Okanagan Knights served as the Vipers’ back-up Wednesday with Todosychuk nursing a leg injury. Merritt captain Sam Johnson marvelled at Imoo’s performance. “He’s phenomenal,” said Johnson. “He’s been doing that all year for us. That game (clutch win last Friday) in Salmon Arm set in stone how big a part of the team he is for us. In these two games, he’s been a big reason why we had a chance. We need to put some pucks in the net for him and we should be good. We have to go back home and take care of business.” The Cents lost the season series 5-2, winning both games in Merritt. “There weren’t a whole lot of mistakes, but the one little mistake made turned into goals for both sides, and I think it’s gonna be like that the rest of the series,” added Johnson, a 20-year-old from Okotoks, Alberta.

Jim Cotter’s shot at reaching at least a tiebreaker at the Tim Hortons Brier Canadian men’s curling championship in Calgary was still alive Thursday afternoon. The Vernon skip, backed by third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, scored a 7-4 win over Jeremy Mallais of New Brunswick Thursday afternoon at the Saddledome to improve to 5-5 with one round-robin game left vs Steven Laycock of Saskatchewan this morning. Entering the final draw Thursday, Laycock was was holding onto the fourth and final playoff spot at 6-3 going into a match against Mark Kean of Ontario (3-6). Jean-Michel Ménard of Quebec was 6-4 heading into a match Thursday night against Brad Gushue (8-2) of Newfoundland/Labrador. Alberta’s Kevin Koe and Manitoba’s Reid Carruthers were each 4-5 with two games to play as of Thursday. Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs was in top spot at 9-1 while Team Canada, skipped by Pat Simmons, was alone in third at 7-3. Cotter improved to 4-5 Thursday morning with a 6-2 win over Jamie Koe’s winless Northwest Territories rink. Wednesday was not a kind day to the B.C. champs, who suffered a pair of losses.

T-wolves split Morning Star Staff

The host Charles Bloom Timberwolves split their opening games in the B.C. Senior A Girls Basketball Championships in Lumby. Jenna Mulholland earned game MVP with 20 points in Bloom’s 70-41 loss to No. 2 Langley Christian Lightning late Thursday afternoon. Amy Verhage, a six-foot Grade 12 player, added 10 points for No. 7 Bloom, who play this morning at 11. Verhage jumpstarted the T-wolves Wednesday with 24 points as they zapped the Pemberton Red Devils 84-34. She went 8-for-10 from the charity stripe to take MVP.

The upset on opening day came when No. 13 St. Anns Crusaders of Kamloops shocked No. 4 Lakes District Lakers of Burns Lake 49-45. The other top three teams all posted victories with No. 1 Mulgrave Titans of Langley toppling the Fort St. James Falcons 63-33, the secondrated Langley Christian Lightning ambushing the St. John’s Eagles of Vancouver 99-19 and the No. 3 Heritage Christian Saints of Kelowna topping the Nakusp Falcons 70-41. The semifinals go tonight at 5 and 7 with the gold-medal final scheduled for Saturday, 7 p.m. The VSS Panthers are shooting for a fifth-place showing in the B.C. B.C. Senior AA Girls Basketball Championships at the Langley Events Centre. The No. 8-ranked Panthers face the 12th-rated Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton at noon today on the consolation side of the Sweet 16 tournament. VSS lost 74-61 to the No. 5 Little Flower Academy Angels in their Wednesday opener and then brushed back the ninth-ranked Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey 59-56 Thursday. Jordyn Cullum, who is on the Team B.C. Under 17 team, paced

the Panthers past Holy Cross with 25 points. Rebekah Solway added 14 points and Anna Rice earned eight. Nicole Helm drained 29 points for the Crusaders, while Naomi Vinluan provided 18. VSS shot 56 per cent from the field, Holy Cross 31. The Cats held a 49-37 lead early in the fourth quarter. Cullum sank 17 points as the Panthers fell to Little Flower, who got 35 points from star 5-foot-9 guard Jessica Hanson (signed with the CIS UBC Thunderbirds for next season). Rice contributed 13 points for VSS, while junior call-up Brianna Falk had 10. The Panthers were without 5-foot11 star Jordan Korol for both games. She came down with an illness earlier in the week. VSS is also without head coach Lonny Mazurak, whose wife is expecting a baby. Princess Margaret also split their games, defeating the Caledonia Kermodes of Terrace 53-48 after falling 65-46 to the No. 4 Notre Dame Jugglers of Vancouver. The other top three seeds also won with the No. 1 Duchess Park Condors crushing Caledonia 66-37, No. 2 Immaculata Mustangs of Kelowna grounding the L.V. Rogers Mustangs of Nelson 100-41 and the third-rated St. Thomas More Knights of Burnaby bouncing Lambrick Park Lions of Victoria 65-57. The Fulton Maroons dispatched the visiting Westsyde Whundas of Kamloops 72-62 in a wildcard challenge Tuesday night. Tye Kitzman rang up 22 points for the Maroons, while Cory Ang pocketed 13 and Darien Broomfield earned 10. Fulton will meet the Lambrick Park Lions of Victoria in their B.C. Senior AA Basketball Championships game Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre. “They are Island No. 3 and have been ranked one or two all year,” said Fulton coach Dale Olson. “We basically have a very tough draw even though we are seeded seventh. Oh well, you gotta win baby.”

Van Soest finds gold Morning Star Staff

The host Vernon Ski Club finished third behind teams from Whistler and Apex Alpine (Penticton) at the U14 Teck provincial ski finals at Silver Star. More than 200 competitors took part in giant slalom and slalom events over four days of action. The cooler weather, sunshine and ideal firm conditions helped pull off the race which included a daily volunteer total of 60 parents and friends and teams from 19 different alpine clubs in B.C. In giant slalom, Gerrit van Soest killed it on Day 1, snagging gold and silver in giant slalom, with his best GS of the season. Teammate Caele Kassa was eighth and 10th, Braden Kersey 30th and 35th, and Max Stepphun 41st and 43rd.

Cotter.... Continued from A18

Carruthers picked up three in the eighth, causing Cotter to shake hands, for an 8-3 decision. In the morning draw, Team Canada, featuring Cotter’s teammate of a year ago, John Morris, scored two in the 10th for an 8-7 victory. Through 14 draws, the Cotter rink was curling at 86 per cent, led by the front end with Griffith curling at an 85 per cent clip and Sawatsky at 84 per cent. Cotter had an 80 per cent mark and Kuhn was trying to improve on a 77 per cent clip. Simmons and Jacobs were leading the skips at 86 per cent apiece, while Ryan Fry of Northern Ontario and Marc Kennedy of Alberta shared top spot among thirds, at 92 per cent. Meanwhile, two Vernon teams begin play today at the Tim Hortons B.C. Juvenile Curling Championships in Lake Cowichan. Clare Schmidt and her rink of third Jaelyn Cotter, second Winter Harvey and lead Cassidy Schwaerzle open up the eight-team women’s event at 8:30 this morning against Emily Smith of Parksville/Nanaimo. The draw features two four-team divisions. The Schmidt quartet will also meet Alyssa Connell of Prince George/Quesnel Friday at 3:30 p.m. and Elizabeth Schulz of Fraser Lake Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Thomas Love’s rink of third Erik Colwell, second Brendan Chapple and lead Johnathan Schwartz is part of the eight-team, two-division men’s draw. Love opens today at noon against Hayato Sato of Coquitlam, and will complete the preliminary round at 7:30 p.m. against Julia Chmelyk of Fraser Lake and Brayden Carpenter of New Westminster Saturday at noon. The finals in both events go Sunday at 11 a.m.

Vipers off to Merritt Continued from A18

Luke Voltin and Liam Finlay scored for the second-place Vipers, while agitator Cole Chorney replied for the third-place Cents in Game 2. Chorney connected on the Cents’ second shot of the game, deflecting a Jake Clifford point shot past Schamerhorn at 10:13 of the opening period. Vernon had posted 10 shots before Merritt converted. The Vipers equalized at 11:35 of the second session when Voltin redirected a floating wrister by Johnny Coughlin at the left point past Imoo. That snipe came shortly after Viper speedster Thomas Aldworth struck the crossbar with a wicked long snapshot on a power play. Finlay netted the winner with 3:34 left in the same period with a backhander along the ice during a scramble. TJ Dumonceaux and Liam Coughlin drew assists on the goal which came 27 seconds into a Merritt too many men penalty. Cents’ head coach Luke Pierce was furious since the officials missed an obvious Vernon too many men infraction a few minutes earlier. Dumonceaux, named the Vipers’ MVP this season, knocked over anything that moved, crushing Zak Bowles with a rink-shattering body blow along the sidewall while killing a penalty with 2:30 to go. That check had the crowd buzzing. In the series opener, Colton McCarthy and Aldworth also scored

for Vernon, while John Schiavo and Gavin Gould, with the 2-2 equalizer with 1:58 remaining, countered for Merritt. Todosychuk was marvellous before leaving the game with an injury with 2:23 to play. Gould levelled the score 25 seconds after Todosychuk was replaced by Schamerhorn. Finlay stripped Merritt defenceman Jake Clifford of the puck in the right corner and fed Latina in the high slot. Latina went top cheddar on Imoo, who matched Todosychuk with a stellar showing. The Vipers went in front at 17:12 of the first period when McCarthy neatly deflected in a shot by Latina just a dozen seconds after Brandon Duhaine began serving a penalty for high sticking. Merritt responded 14 seconds later when Schiavo finished a bang-bang play with Diego Cuglietta right in front of the Viper net. Vernon moved ahead 2-1 with 4:05 to play in the second period when Aldworth one-handed a rebound past Imoo from the doorstep. Imoo had made a save on a wrister from the right side by d-man Mitch Meek. Dumonceaux also earned an assist. Gould forced the extra session when his wrister from in tight appeared to ricochet in off a Viper body in front after Schamerhorn blocked Gould’s initial shot. Teves was awarded the assist. Vernon outshot Merritt 38-37.

Bolts ice Blazers for playoff glory

Sports

Super League hockey finals over Morning Star Staff

The Stevenson Mechanical Bolts bounced the Bannister GM Blazers 3-1 in the North Okanagan Pee Wee Super Hockey League final Monday night at Civic Arena. The fourth-place Bolts, coached by Brent Bond, advance to the Valley tournament this weekend in Chase. Flawless goaltending from the Blazers’ Eric Strutinski kept the Bolts at bay until late in the first period when Jayden Veit swung around the Bolts’ net and centered for Nick Tilby, who drilled in the all-important first goal for the Blazers. As the game’s midpoint approached, Bolt winger Shaelyn Cecchini whistled a shot on net, and Caleb James whacked the rebound at the open cage. Jared Ross robbed him of a sure goal, as he reached out with his goal stick and paddled the puck out of midair. The Bolts pressed desperately for the equalizer, firing 23 shots on net through two periods with no payoff. Mere seconds into the third, Veit broke in alone, but Bolt netminder Teja Sheldrake made a gave-saving stop with his left pad. With under seven minutes to play, Bradley Halvorson sent the puck deep into the Blazers’ end, and a ferocious forecheck by Chris Bond and Easton Rayner turned the puck over to Quinn Soon at the left point. Darting into the slot, Soon took aim at the low short-side corner and fired the tying goal. With overtime looming, Bolt pivot Sapion Joe charged the net off a draw and snapped a shot. Jordyn Morris cut across the crease, and lifted the rebound home for the winner. With just over a minute to go, Soon intercepted the puck inside the Blazers’ line and whipped it to Morris, whose backhander found the empty net. In Sunday’s semifinal at Priest Valley, the Bolts iced the Vernon Rebels 4-2. Joe sparked the Bolts with an end-to-end goal, steaming down the right side like a runaway train before finishing low. Before the break, the Rebels evened the score on the power play. Early in the third, Rayner issued a rinkwide pass to Shaelyn Cecchini on the right wing, and she rippled the mesh on the short side. Next, Ashton Pede set up Joe’s deadly one-timer for the eventual winner. On a late powerplay, Cecchini and Joe worked the puck around to Levi Vanderdeen at the right point, and he blasted the Bolts’ fourth. The Rebels counted a last-minute goal. The Blazers reached the final by storming Salmon Arm 6-0 with Jared Ross in net. Aidan Rivard (2), Dawson Martian, Veit, Ethan Vrynoek-Frank and Aiden Skinner supplied the Blazer goals with Cody Beckner bagging two helpers. In the Bantam league final, the North Okanagan Knights edged the DCT Chambers Coyotes 7-6 at Nor-Val Sports Centre and move to the Valleys in Logan Lake. Jacob Brewer, with a deuce, Jacob Baycroft, Colton Schaper-Kotter, Landen

Harison and Zach Laranjo delivered the Coyote offence. The third-place Coyotes got to the final by defeating the Five Star Awards Cougars 5-2 Sunday at Civic. Brewer and Chris Aldrich each produced two goals for the Coyotes, while Schaper-Kotter added a single in support of Isaac Waldemaras.

“People who tend to camp out in the left lane...” — Todd Stone

One result of that review is a new road sign to replace the “slower traffic keep right” and “keep right except to pass” wording used in B.C. “Keep right – let others pass” with a graphic is the new design and it seems to be having some educational effect, Stone said. Accident studies have shown that frustrated drivers following too closely or passing on the right are risk factors. Premier Christy Clark said the problem should be dealt with, but she added a caution. “I think we should go a little bit easy sometimes on the folks who are in the left hand lane going a little bit slow,” Clark said. “I think about my 75-year-old mother driving down the road, and sometimes she’s in the wrong lane, and it might be really frustrating for the people behind her. But we should try to be respectful and civil about that.” Stone declined to give specifics about what legislative changes are coming. Police told the ministry last year the existing law isn’t clear and tickets can be overturned in court challenges.

The left-lane-hugging road hog seems to be a species that particularly flourishes in B.C. It can often be seen trailing a line of vehicles on the highway, or cutting across lanes of traffic on right turns to get to its preferred habitat. Transportation Minister Todd Stone says he’s spent time in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, and this inappropriate love of the left lane seems unique to the Left Coast. So he’s looking at legal changes to make it easier to enforce the practice of keeping the left lane open for passing. Stone told reporters Tuesday the issue came up often in last year’s rural speed limit review. “One of the key things we heard from British Columbians all around the province was this frustration with left-lane hogs, people who tend to camp out in the left lane and seem to think that the left lane and right lane are there to serve the same purposes,” Stone said. “They’re not.”

It encompasses: assisted suicide and euthanasia; terminal illness and psychological suffering; the able-bodied and the disabled- all contending with their own, or a physician’s, interpretation of “enduring suffering that is intolerable.” Just so you know, between 1991 and 2012, nine private member’s bills were introduced in

the House of Commons seeking to amend the Criminal Code to decriminalize assisted suicide or euthanasia.

Six of these bills were voted on and all failed to pass. So what has changed? The court

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More... W. Gifford-Jones, MD

itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety. In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals. Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

HOW TO

The Interior Health Authority and the School of Nursing at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus have conducted research aimed at improving the ways nurse practitioners are included in the health system. The research included a detailed literature review, interviews and full-day stakeholder workshops and resulted in a number of recommendations to clarify the role of NPs and promote their integration within the health-care system. “The results of our research led us to developing a series of three informational videos about NPs, how they work within the health-care team and the impact they have on the health-care system,” said Donna Mendel, regional practice leader for IHA’s professional practice office. The NP videos can be used to raise awareness and increase understanding for patients, families, health-care providers, physicians and administrators of the role of the NP. “We are thrilled with the outcome of this research study,” said Nelly Oelke, assistant professor for the

Not everyone gets the opportunity to be raised on the shores of a lake, let alone one as well known as Okanagan Lake. Irish Beth Maddock (née Fell), who grew up in Vernon, says she’s so grateful for her upbringing that she has penned a children’s book based on a memory from her Okanagan childhood. Maddock’s ties to this community also go back to the day when she was crowned royalty. In 1994, she became the 34th Queen Silver Star, or Miss Vernon (as the Queen was then known when on duties outside of town). Maddock now lives in Calgary and has just released The Great Carp Escape. The book is an allegory based on the true story of a childhood adventure Maddock experienced while growing up on Okanagan Lake during the mid-1980s. “Many lakes are awash with carp,” said Maddock. “However, there are not too many books about

this particular bottom dwelling fish, especially in the children’s realm.” The book follows siblings Beth and Paul, who are startled by the scaly, moustached fish they find along the shoreline. Seasons pass, and the siblings avoid the swampy reeds at all costs until a flood brings a life-or-death situation for the carp. With guidance from their father, the children find a solution to save the fish and its habitat. Illustrated by Lucent Ouano, The Great Carp Escape has been accepted into The Great Canadian author’s program at Word Alive Press and has been endorsed by Vernon’s own Pet Blog Lady, Lisa Taron. An illustrator in her own right and an advocate for all animals, Taron has given Maddock’s book two thumbs up. “I look forward to introducing Irish’s book to the world on my blog,” said Taron, who features helpful articles, stories and pro-

motions on anything to do with pets and animals. Her Pet Blog Lady site has a following of more than 34,000. Maddock says her dearest wish is to offer her children’s story as a fundraiser for schools, charities, churches and other ministries. (For more information on how the book may be used as a fundraising opportunity, visit irishbethmaddock.com.) Distributed by Ingram, The Great Carp Escape is now available at select Canadian book stores, including Chapters/Indigo/Coles in the Okanagan and Calgary. It is also currently available online at Great Canadian Authors, Amazon, and Chapters/Indigo, with both ebook and audio book formats coming soon. Maddock will have a book launch at one of Calgary’s Chapters/Indigo stores May 9, and has plans to do a Vernon launch, with the date and location to be announced, in the near future.

noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds: Chasing Yesterday

he second album from the former Oasis main man Noel Gallagher and his band is a strong flowing and well realized dose of northern soul. The freedom of being unshackled from the dramatics of his former group has allowed Dean Gordon-Smith Gallagher to hone in on groove, and the performance and writing is fluid. This allows room for play and Gallagher’s penchant for mixing strong hooks and ambiance infused drama is well realized. Chasing Yesterday is a dusky groover that is easy on the ears. The first track, Riverman, has a hint of background haze and adventurism that sets up the tone for what is to follow. It seems that Gallagher’s full-on leadership role (main writer and producer, as well as lead singer and guitarist) make the pace and mood consis-

C HECK I T O UT AT B OOKLAND THE ASSASSIN

As Van Dorn private detective Isaac Bell strives to land a government contract to investigate John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil monopoly, the case takes a deadly turn. A sniper begins murdering opponents of Standard Oil, and soon the assassin—shooting with extraordinary accuracy at seemingly impossible long range—kills Bell’s best witness, a brave and likable man. Then the shooter detonates a terrible explosion that sets the victim’s independent refinery ablaze. Bell summons his best detectives to scour the site of the crime for evidence. Who is the assassin and for whom did he kill? But the murders—shootings, poisonings, staged accidents—have just begun as Bell tracks his phantom-like criminal adversary from the “oil fever” regions of Kansas and Texas to Washington, D.C., to the tycoons’ enclave of New York, to Russia’s war-torn Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea, and back to America for a final, desperate confrontation. And this one will be the most explosive of all.

UBCO fine arts student to be rewarded Submitted to The Morning Star

Expressing one’s creativity may be its own reward, but one fortunate visual arts student at UBC Okanagan will now receive added encouragement thanks to the support of the Blenk family, the local developers of Wilden. The Wilden Creativity Award will go to a graduating student (bachelor or master’s of fine arts) in UBC Okanagan’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies’ (FCCS) visual arts program whose work reflects a high level of expertise and accomplishment. The award includes $2,500 and an exhibition at the Wilden Presentation Centre at 132 Sky Ct., Kelowna. Karin Eger-Blenk, Wilden director and co-creator of the award, says the courage of artists who break out of established patterns is something that

Former Oasis songwriter-guitarist Noel Gallagher has released his second album Chasing Yesterday, with the High Flying Birds.

A lot of the album’s heart lies in songs like The Dying of the Light. It has the patented, loping acoustic rhythm chiming underneath a keening vocal, like some old-time ballad singer walked off the moors onto a stage in some Manchester stadium, aiming to plug in and rock out. Gallagher and the High Flying Birds (co-guitarist Tim Smith, bassist Russell Pritchard, Mike Rowe on keyboards and drummer Jeremy Stacey) indulge in a few classic rock-style tangents. The Right Stuff has a jammy Exile on Main Street-type looseness and While the Song Remains the Same has early Fleetwood Mac guitar figures. Fellow Manchester rocker, Johnny Marr, adds enlightening guitar textures to a hypnotic Brit-disco track (Ballad of The Mighty I). Chasing Yesterday doesn’t have the all out anthemic onslaught of early Oasis, but it’s a more steady, on quality consistent recording than some of that band’s material. This music could still bridge a gap between football hooligans and brooding would-be poets as well. It’s soulful British rock that moves on from its ‘90s renaissance.

needs to be supported. “We wanted to recognize the creative minds and talents of emerging Okanagan artists, individuals who display the courage, originality, and passion to break out of established patterns of seeing, who offer new and insightful perspectives on the world,” said Eger-Blenk. “This courage is what’s needed to bring about positive change.” FCCS announced the creation of the Wilden Creativity Award at its annual Art on the Line gala and fundraiser in February. The recipient, and two finalists, will be named at the students’ graduation gala April 26. “We are immensely grateful to Wilden and the Blenk family for this wonderful award,” said Ashok Mathur, head of creative studies in the FCCS. “There are so few of these types of awards for our students, and this will be the largest. It rewards talented emerging artists for perseverance in their artistic endeavours and commitment to the development of their artistic talent, while being an empowering gesture of support as they launch their artistic careers.” The Wilden Creativity Award is among the latest contributions to UBC’s start an evolution campaign, culminating this year, which is raising funds for scholarships, research, and spaces. UBC Okanagan has surpassed the $95 million mark on the way toward its goal of raising $100 million and doubling engagement with its alumni.

Focus gets by on actors’ charm

Closets bursting at the seams?

Focus:

third generation con man, Nicky (Will Smith), creates what he thought was impossible – one last, huge con that will set up his retirement. The plan becomes threatened when a former partner and love interTaylor and Howe est, Jess (Margot Robbie), becomes an unintentional player in the scheme. We say, “It’s fun and pretty, but will you see it again next week?” HOWE: I love the old con movies, The Sting or The Hustler just to name a couple. It would take something special for a film to be classed alongside them. Focus feels like that kind of film. Like the others it is flashy and clever, but not too over the top. It remains believable. It is a nice change to the typical movies Hollywood has been giving us lately. I enjoy having something other than a dystopian future, a lame, rude comedy or a trillion dollar special FX bonanza.

Reel Reviews

Warner Bros.

Will Smith and Margot Robbie are con artists trying not to lose in Focus. TAYLOR: This film is fine. It even has a bit of style, taking cinematic advantage of its title. Nicky, the con man, is a character sometimes out of focus to both himself and the world. I enjoyed watching it, for the most part. It is rewarding in its trickery. Still, overall, I felt like it could have been a little heavier, more serious film. HOWE: There’s witty dialogue, twists and turns that you don’t see coming and somewhat strong performances from the leading roles of Will

Smith and Margot Robbie. The supporting actors do their jobs well enough but it’s the storyline between these two characters that keeps the story moving along by asking “will they or won’t they get together?” I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. TAYLOR: It’s cheap and easy to keep the mystery afloat when everyone is lying all the time. The characters are high rollers working a dangerous life, so there is glamour and excitement, which translates onto the screen well. Anyone

looks good in an expensive suit, carrying bags of money to the limousine in slow motion. But what carries the film forward so well is that Smith is handsome and charming and Robbie is a smouldering sexpot. Frankly, these two should have got it on a bit more. This film has a spark when it could have had a fire. Fifty Shades be damned. – Howe gives Focus 4 revs of the engine out of 5. – Taylor gives it 2.5 promises unfulfilled out of 5.

Festival season starts for piano, voice students Morning Star Staff

It’s that time of year when music students start tuning up their voices and instruments for festival season. The Vernon Registered Music Teachers Association’s annual music festival is first up, and runs Saturday through Thursday, culminating with a gala concert March 14. All performances take place at All Saints Anglican Church Noreen Morrow in Vernon. Voice students will perform all day Saturday and will be adjudicated by Norene Morrow, a performer, teacher and choral conductor originally from Winnipeg. Now based in Kelowna, Morrow holds degrees in vocal performance from the Universities of Manitoba and Arizona. As a classical singer, she has given many recitals and performed with the Winnipeg Philharmonic Choir, the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, the Manitoba Opera Association, the Winnipeg Singers, the Sault Opera Society and the Kelowna Mozart Festival. Last summer, she played Golde in the Kelowna Actors Studio production of Fiddler on the Roof. Graham welch Piano students will perform from Sunday in the evening and daily Monday through Thursday.

Dead Heads unite at Roots and Blues Morning Star Staff

Roll away the dew, and wear that tiedyed T-shirt proudly, the 23rd annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival has just announced that a number of its artists will pay tribute to both The Grateful Dead and the band’s late leader Jerry Garcia. The festival takes place Aug. 14 to 16 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Grateful Dead becoming a band in San Francisco. It also marks the 20th anniversary of Garcia’s death. It seems only fitting that the incredible songbook and spirit of what this group of musicians created be recognized by Roots and Blues, said festival artistic director Peter North “Yes, the Dead helped create the psychedelic scene of the ‘60s, but the band has always been so much more than that,” said North. “Collectively and individually, Garcia, Bob Weir, lyricist Robert Hunter, drummer Mickey Hart and the others had a foothold in the traditions of folk music from country to blues and bluegrass while Hart, in particular, has been a pivotal player in introducing a huge audience to many sounds associated with world music.” Roots & Blues will present a handful of shows drawing from the deep well of The Dead and Garcia.

Acoustic acts will dive into The Dead’s traditional sources, while electric acts will take on classic Dead tunes ranging from Fire On The Mountain to Deal to Truckin’. One of the acts that will dispense a number of Grateful Dead songs is Brothers Keeper from Vail, Colo. Joining the band are two members of the extended Grateful Dead family, multi-instrumentalist Jason Crosby, who has performed with both Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, and guitarist/ singer Mark Karan, who toured and recorded with Lesh, Weir, Hart and Bruce Hornsby in The Other Ones after Garcia’s passing. Karan also spent the better part of a decade in Weir’s band Ratdog. “These guys all know the Grateful Dead and Garcia/Hunter songbooks inside out and there are a few other great artists who have serious connections to The Dead camp that will be announced as part of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival down the road,” said North. Also performing at Roots and Blues this summer are Canned Heat, Oysterband, Rocky Lawrence, the Stooges Brass Band, The Duhks and more to be announced. For information, visit www.rootsandblues.ca.

Alpine skiing head coach Britta Gretzmacher gives athlete Elizabeth Isbister some last-minute tips at the start gate during the Special Olympics Winter Games in Kamloops last month.

Athletes bring home medals Morning Star Staff

The 2015 SOBC Winter Games in Kamloops Feb. 19 to 22 brought together more than 700 B.C. and Yukon athletes competing in seven sports and were a demonstration of true sportsmanship, dedication and joy. SOBC-Vernon had six athletes participating in crosscountry and alpine skiing, bringing home seven medals. “Our athletes worked hard throughout the training season and demonstrated a strong will to learn and grow,” said Britta Gretzmacher, alpine skiing head coach. “The games were a tremendous success on all fronts, our athletes brought home two gold, two silver in alpine skiing and one silver and two bronze medals in cross-country skiing.” While Special Olympics

Games are about sport, achievement and pride, they are also about friendship, connections, acceptance and sportsmanship. “It was inspiring to see how the athletes congratulated each other and that not the medal counted but the participation — everyone can learn from this,” said Gretzmacher. Special Olympics BC - Vernon provides 14 highquality sports programs for individuals of all ages with intellectual disabilities from September until July and is always looking for more participants, and volunteers to run their programs. Funding the programs is always a challenge; the upcoming Vernon Golf Spectacular on June 20 is this year’s major event. Please go to www.vernongolfspectac-

Finding your own map to clarity Morning Star Staff

If you find yourself wanting to make a change in your life but not knowing how, relationship coach and life strategist Jodi Scott invites you to discover your genuine desires and learn how to harness them to begin creating new results in your life, relationship, health, wealth and career with The Desire Map. The Desire Map started out as a book by Vancouver author Danielle LaPorte that inspired more than 500 international book clubs and then became a stand-alone work-

shop for those wishing to begin living their lives in alignment with their deepest truth and desires. Scott is a licensed facilitator of The Desire Map and has partnered with sponsor Vero Health in Vernon to bring it to the Okanagan. “This is a worldrenowned process that has spread the world over like wild fire, changing lives in simple and significant ways,” said Scott. “The reason for this is that the process although simple generates clarity, cutting through inner struggle

and confusion to get to the heart of what you truly want and what matters most to you. This process gives you a proven road map personal to you that initiates subtle yet profound and lasting change in the areas of your life where your heart most desires it.” Scott has been using The Desire Map herself and in private practice with clients since 2012 with incredible results, she said. “It is one of the best tools I have come across so far for helping bring clarity, assuredness and conviction to those who

are feeling unfulfilled, stuck and frustrated that they keep bumping up against the same challenges, confused as to how they feel or what they want in their lives,” she said. “The Desire Map workshop is for those who are ready to make true and lasting change in their lives, relationships, health, career and prosperity. “People will leave this weekend workshop clear, inspired, seeing themselves and their life in a new light and excited for all the possibility that awaits them. With their own personal desire map as their

reliable guidepost they will begin to experience their life in new and desired ways with fulfilling results.” The Desire Map weekend workshop takes place Saturday and Sunday at Vero Health. For complete details, visit jodiscottcoaching. com We invite you to come & hear

Parents celebrate French immersion enrolment OTTAWA — Canadian Parents for French and partner Canadian Association for Immersion Teachers (CAIT) celebrate the rise in French immersion enrolment across the country, as indicated in a recent Statistics Canada report. The increase signifies a major triumph towards ensuring all children in Canada have access to a variety of French programs, a tenet held strongly by Canadian Parents for French (CPF), its membership and its partners. This growth is further demonstrated in provinces like Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia which have, within the last several years, seen noteworthy growth in the rate at which students enter French immersion programming. While CPF considers the increased interest and enrolment trend most encouraging, we duly acknowledge that there are still strides to be made in bridging the gap between demand and availability.

French language and culture are integral parts of Canada — every child in Canada should have equitable access to the quality, effective Frenchsecond-language program of their choice. For more information on Canadian Parents for French, visit: http://cpf.ca/en/about-us/what-iscpf/what-we-stand-for/

Good hearing, poor comprehension? The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed.

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range.

Let the slipping and sliding commence. Part of winter driving, especially in these blizzard conditions, is largely about the tires. No matter how good an AWD system controls the torque split between the front and rear axels, if you don’t have grip, well, then it can get really

sion to change peoples’ minds. Hyundai offers two distinct types of AWD systems. One is used with platforms designed for front-wheel drive systems to enhance traction while maintaining fuel efficiency; the second is for rear-wheel drive based platforms and is programmed to increase performance while maintaining control and drivability in slippery road conditions. I had the chance to test both them out in extreme winter conditions and Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, certainly delivered on that promise! – I’m not entirely sure how much snow fell in the time my driving partner and I left the hotel for our morning exercises at Le Massif de

passengers and comes with a V6 engine.) The AWD system in Santa Fe models incorporates Active Cornering Control (ACC), an element within the Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system, which helps the vehicle manage acceleration in a corner. To improve traction and cornering performance, braking force is applied to the inside rear wheel when accelerating through a turn. Regardless of which vehicle we endured the storm, it’s certain that Hyundai has a good thing going on. And even if you never find yourself in the belly of a blizzard, the piece of mind is still with you every time you get behind the wheel of these vehicles.

Bridge by Phillip Alder TWO POSSIBILITIES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

then the last two bids would have been the same.)

Robert Benchley, a humorist who died in 1945, said, “In America there are two classes of travel - first class, and with children.” In today’s deal there are two first-class problems. And if your children play bridge, show them this column. South is in three no-trump. After West leads the heart queen, how should declarer plan the play? And what should he do differently if the spade ace and spade two are exchanged between the North and South hands? In the given auction, North’s three-diamond rebid was game-invitational. (If South had the spade ace as well, he would have rebid two spades,

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. The obvious line for two more tricks is to play on diamonds, where only a 3-2 split is needed (a priori, 67.8 percent). To attack clubs requires a 3-3 break (a priori, 35.53 percent). And if the spade ace is in the South hand, that is the right line. Declarer should take the first trick and duck (lose) a diamond. However, with the spade ace in the dummy, South can get home if either diamonds are 3-2 or clubs are 3-3, which raises the a priori odds to 79.25 percent. Declarer, after taking trick

one, should cash dummy’s top diamonds. If the suit splits 3-2, he plays a third round and coasts home with an overtrick. But when diamonds break badly, South turns to clubs and, with this layout, makes his contract. If your children do not play bridge, teach them immediately!

Klein, Carroll Joan (nee Coventry) 1936 - 2015

We are so sad to share the news of Carroll’s sudden passing on Tuesday, Feb. 24. Carroll was predeceased by her husband, Herb, in 2010. Carroll’s laughter and love will be deeply missed by her daughters Michelle (George and grandson, Eli) and Renee, her son David (Suzanne), her sister-in-law Laura and many friends. Carroll grew up in Nelson where she was active in the United Church and Mrs. Ferguson’s choir. She loved summer holidays at the family “camp” on Kootenay Lake, and worked at the family business (Coventry Flowers) until her marriage to Herb in 1957. Herb and Carroll raised their family in Vernon where Carroll was involved with the church choir, Vernon Music School, the BC Schizophrenia Society, and Herb’s business, Gemini Golf. They spent summers at “camp” and in 2009 moved back to Nelson full time. Carroll loved her lake property and her life. She maintained her joy of music, was learning guitar and how to knit, and was researching her family tree. She pampered a large African violet and houseplant collection, enjoyed her garden and took daily strolls along the beach, where she collected treasures from arrowheads to pieces of glass. Carroll was a big fan of living naturally and her spiritual beliefs were a constant strength in her life. She continues her souls evolving journey now and leaves her imprint in our hearts. A celebration of her life will be held on her beach in early summer, and her remains will rest in the Nelson Memorial Park Cemetery. Donations in her memory may be made to Council of Canadians www.canadians.org or to the Nelson Civic Theatre Society www.civictheatre.ca.

David William “Bill” Nestor It is with profound sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Bill Nestor on Feb. 20th, 2015. Following a short battle with cancer, Bill passed away in Vernon Hospice with his family by his side. Bill was born on September 25th, 1934 in Cumberland, Maryland, USA. As a teenager, he moved with his family to California where he completed high school. After a brief stint in the US Navy, he enrolled at the University of California Berkeley and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. Bill embarked on a very successful career in California as a mechanical, electrical and HVAC engineer and started his own company, Nestor Engineering. After living for many years in the San Francisco Bay area, Bill resettled with his family in Coldstream, BC in 1993. He found work at IITS based in Kelowna and was a key player there for over 15 years as an electrical engineer. Bill displayed his many talents around the family acreage where he served as the electrician, plumber, mechanic, carpenter, and overall handyman. He and his wife Colleen loved dogs, and Bill owned and trained many German Shepherds over the years. Outside of work, Bill was very active and involved in the community. He spent a number of years with Vernon Minor Football where he was fondly known by many as “Coach Bill”. His coaching career was highlighted by his involvement with three championship teams, in 2002 as head coach of the Vernon Vikings Junior Bantam squad, and in 2004 and 2005 as an assistant with the Vernon Wolverines Bantams. Between football seasons, Bill was also dedicated to Vernon Shotokan Karate, where over the years he worked up the ranks, eventually obtaining his first level of black belt, or Shodan, in November of last year. Bill is survived by Colleen, his wife of 25 years; daughters, Lynnette (Bruce) Potter of Lafayette, California and Deborah Nestor of Pleasant Valley, West Virginia; his son, Bruce Nestor of Edmonton, Alberta; grandchildren: Sarah, Dylan, and Cheryl Potter; his sister Becky (John) Smith of Campbell, California; brothers and sisters-in-law, Douglas (Liz), and Patrick (Sharon) Ives of Qualicum Beach, and Bob (Alice) Ives of Victoria; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Saturday, March 14th, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Bill may do so to KidSport or to the Vernon SPCA. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333. Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com

Edna was predeceased by her first husband Mike Corrigan in 1953, her second husband Bill Seright in 1989 and her sister (and best friend) Frances Pennington in 2008. Edna was born on February 19, 1918 in Camrose, AB. When she and her sister Frances were growing up during the Depression their father worked for Acme Fruit Co., requiring that he work in a lot of locations. One year the sisters went to school in 3 provinces and California. Edna and Frances were attending high school in Vernon and their parents said they were moving to Trail, the girls elected to stay in the Okanagan. Edna married Mike Corrigan in 1941 in Vernon.
