Politicians push for more hospital beds RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Local politicians continue to demand that overcrowding be addressed at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Elected officials toured VJH with physicians and Interior Health Authority administration Wednesday, and the main focus was two shelled-in floors that could be used for more acute care beds. “We wanted to see how the tower is working now that it’s in use and to keep in the forefront that we’d like those two floors opened,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor. Physicians, nurses and the public have been pushing for the two floors to be developed to alleviate congestion, which has led to patients in hallways and surgeries cancelled. The Ministry of Health says capital and operating funds are an issue, but Garlick insists
“They need to form a group and come up with something that makes it possible.” — Jim Garlick creative options are needed. “One of the ideas is one of the two floors being a centre of excellence for joint replacement,” he said, adding many of those cases now go to Vancouver. Another possibility could be using a floor as a working classroom for University of B.C. medical students. “They need to form a group and come up with something that makes it possible,” said Garlick of IHA and doctors.
Also on the tour was Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster. “He’s looking for ways to make this happen,” said Garlick, adding that he and other civic leaders will also continue to lobby the provincial government. “We need to be talking to people at a higher level — cabinet ministers — and institutions like UBC.” Not meeting mandated provincial targets for knee, hip and cataract surgeries has cost
IHA $3.4 million, and Vernon Mayor Rob Sawatzky suggests that could have been avoided by opening more beds. “No matter what standard we use, we’re dramatically under serviced with beds,” said the retired doctor. It’s been previously suggested that a shortage of nurses could be a challenge if there are more beds, but Sawatzky doesn’t believe that is a concern. “All that takes is good management (of staff),” he said. Nancy Serwo, VJH acute area director, believes Wednesday’s tour was worthwhile. “It was a great opportunity to highlight the positive things happening here and all of the hard work,” she said. In terms of new beds possibly opening, Serwo says, “We are working closely with MLA Foster and the ministry.”

News Ice blocks fire investigation
JOPO JIVE
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR
The elements are making it extremely difficult to determine how a destructive Lumby fire started. Officials are still unable to pinpoint the cause of the blaze that roared through Nap’s Laundromat and two residential apartments on Vernon Street Monday. “We’re getting held up with ice and it’s really slow going,� said Dean Wakefield, investigator. Cold temperatures led to a thick layer of ice forming as water was being doused on to the flames Monday. There has been no chance for the ice to melt. Also proving challenging is the amount of debris, including the remains of the roof and walls, damaged dryers and washing machines and other items. “There’s a lot of stuff to go through there. We’re still processing everything,� said Wakefield. It’s possible that the investigation may be put on hold until the weather warms up. The property owner had insurance but the tenants in the apartments did not have content insurance.

North Okanagan population on the rise RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
More people are calling the North Okanagan home, and the region is increasingly urbanized. Census figures show the Regional District of North Okanagan’s population was 81,237 in 2011, a 5.1 per cent hike from 77,301 in 2006. All municipalities saw growth while electoral areas declined. “It’s consistent with what we anticipated,� said Anthony Kittel, RDNO regional growth strategy coordinator, of the overall figures. Vernon continues to lead the pack, with a population of 38,150, a six per cent increase from 2006. “It’s a positive,� said Kevin Poole, the city’s economic development manager, in terms of ensuring a stable base for home sales and retailers. But Poole is awaiting more specific data such as age demographics. “Are we increasing the seniors

population or are we moving towards the goal of attracting families and creating jobs?� he said. Mayor Rob Sawatzky says an expanded population is essential for the city to be viable. “The things you do in terms of budgeting depend on growth. If you don’t grow, you have to look at how
to fund services,� he said. More people, though, also places pressure on water, sewer and roads. There is also a heightened demand for housing and health care. The largest census spike was in Armstrong — 13.5 per cent. It now has a population of 4,815. “Planned growth is good,� said
Mayor Chris Pieper. “It allows you to pay for your recreational facilities and public works projects.� Pieper, though, says actions have also been taken to address the negative aspect of more residents, such as approving suites to ensure housing is affordable. While municipalities are larger, rural areas haven’t done as well. There was essentially no population change in rural Lumby and Cherryville while the other three electoral areas experienced decreases. “People are leaving for jobs. We’ve lost all of our forestry jobs,� said Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director. Foisy believes some people may move to his area for the lifestyle and lower property values, but he is concerned little growth will impact services. “If we lose the school, that will really drain our community.�
The biggest drop was six per cent in BX-Swan Lake. “The erosion of the tax base will create issues for how services are delivered,� said director Bob Fleming, who points to demographics as the main reason for the decrease. “As the population ages, children move out,� he said, adding that the Agricultural Land Reserve also makes it difficult for developments to proceed.

The Guess Who is among the acts scheduled to appear at Sturgis North at the MotoPlex Speedway July 18 to 22.
Sturgis books Canadian acts What Makes Your
2011
ROGER KNOX
Morning Star Staff
Three renowned Canadian acts have been booked for the Sturgis North Music Festival and Motorcycle Rally, now officially set for the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park in Spallumcheen July 18 to 22. Sturgis North president Ray Sasseville said The Guess Who, The Stampeders and Nick Gilder and Sweeney Todd have been confirmed for the festival, as has veteran American rockers the Edgar Winter Band. “We’re probably going to have two headliners each night, one starting 7:30, the other at 9:30 or 10, and the shows end at midnight,” said Sasseville. “We’ll look at, maybe on the Friday and Saturday, having three major acts at 5:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.” Bands from all across Western Canada will start playing on the MotoPlex stage at 1 p.m. each day. After back-and-forth negotiations, Sturgis North and the speedway reached a deal to host the second event. Last year’s inaugural festival was held in Salmon Arm at two locations. “Everything is signed, we’ve done the initial agreement,” said Bob Newcombe, speedway manager. “Everything they need is there to pull the whole thing off. The track will be working with all of the governing agencies and police to work together to make this a successful event.” The festival will mainly feature rock-and-roll acts and motorcycles – a motorcycle trade show and business exposition is also part of the event – but there could be a family element as well. Negotiations are underway with West Coast Amusements – a fixture every year at the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong – to set up at the speedway during the event. Camping tickets for the Sturgis North festival were expected to be on sale by today, and event tickets go on sale late next week at www.sturgisnorth.com.

Early indications are Greater Vernon shouldn’t experience a lack of water this year. The Regional District of North Okanagan took snow readings at three sites near the Duteau Creek reservoirs Feb. 1. “These readings show the snow water equivalent, or water content of the snow, at 98 per cent of average or about normal for this time of year,” said Jennifer Miles, water sustainability co-ordinator. Staff also measured snow depth and found levels to be at 88 per cent of average.

A man who drowned in frozen Wood Lake has been identified as Christopher Kent Stone of Lake Country. Stone’s body was recovered from the lake Wednesday afternoon after he fell through the ice into the frigid water earlier in the day. RCMP Const. Kris Clark said Lake Country RCMP received a report at 10:16 a.m., that a man had fallen through the ice after riding his bicycle onto the lake. Clark said a loud crashing sound was heard by people in the area and the man was seen going through the ice and could be heard calling for help, but no one was close enough get to him in time. Ambulance paramedics and members of the Lake Country Fire Department raced to the scene but the man could not be found after holes were cut in the ice as part of the search. While the fire department’s ice rescue team attempted to locate the man, it was assisted by the RCMP’s helicopter from above. After several hours, the man was presumed to have drowned and the search was called off. An RCMP dive team was brought in from Kamloops Wednesday afternoon to recover the body. During the search, northbound traffic on Highway 97 was stopped for a brief time while the search took place. In light of the incident, police are warning the public not to walk on ice that is less than 10 centimetres thick and not drive on ice that is less than 30 centimetres thick. “When in doubt, don’t do it,” said Clark.

Searchers cut holes in the ice of Wood Lake Wednesday in an attempt to locate a man who fell into the cold water below. A cold water suit and safety vest are recommended for anyone going out on the ice at this time of year, he added. The pubic is also being warned to be aware of ice near the inlet and outlet of streams. “Always be extra cautious on river and
stream ice,” said Clark. “Ice can vary in thickness and strength from area to area because of temperature, water current, springs, snow cover, and time of year.” More ice safety tips can be found online at www.lifesaving.bc.ca.

from the rate hike will go towards separating Duteau Creek agricultural customers from the domestic system because farm uses don’t need treated water. Separation would increase capacity at the treatment plant to meet domestic needs. Greater Vernon commercial water rates will jump 18 per cent in 2012 while those for agricultural users will go up five per cent. The water rate increases must still be approved by the Regional District of North Okanagan board.

Mexico aversion unjustified
S
hucks, that bullet proof bikini I packed on my recent Mexican vacation didn’t get much use. Nope. The biggest war wound I came back with were some scrapes on my feet from the flippers I rented to snorkel with the sea turtles. I guess I’m lucky to have survived. To top it off I made it safely back home with some incredible memories, sun-kissed skin and rejuvenation. Jennifer Smith Yes, it was an amazing vacation, free of violence (minus the fight I had with my husband who lost his wedding ring). But prior to my departure, you would have thought I was headed for disaster, into a drugand-violence-plagued country. A heightened fear factor struck the world as news of brutal attacks on tourists hit the media. News of my planned vacation often prompted such responses: “Mexico? Are you crazy? Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” You were made to believe that there are drug lords everywhere, lurking the streets and resorts for Canadians to behead. I can officially say, from experience, that is just not the case. Yes, there have been some incidents, but it must be taken into context (keep in mind there are thousands of tourists who visit Mexico every week). Yes, it could be dangerous. But it could also be dangerous to take a cruise. It could also be dangerous to walk out your front door today. In every city of every country, there is crime. There are drugs, sex slavery, violence, gangs, murder and more. That doesn’t stop us from leaving our homes. It just makes us more aware and reminds us to think twice before making bad decisions. So just as it is right here in Vernon, the same

goes for Mexico: unless you’re out at 3 a.m. looking for trouble, trouble probably won’t find you. Of course there are exceptions. But it doesn’t mean we should abandoned our longanticipated, and saved-for, vacations out of fear. Nor do you need to pack military-issued protective wear. Common sense is all you need. Oh, and sunscreen. I will admit that my recent vacation to Mexico was unlike the two trips I have taken in previous years. There is obviously a heightened sense of security in that country – but where is there not? And yes, our trip was planned and executed in much less of a care-free manner than my previous excursions. Instead of the quaint little resorts I’ve stayed at before, this time we opted for one threetimes the size of Lumby. The enormous, gated community felt almost like a glamourous prison to me, with guards at each entrance, noting every visitor and cabbie. Don’t get me wrong, the Gran Bahia Principe is gorgeous, the food was incredible, staff was plentiful and pleasant and there were bountiful activities. But the sheer size of the resort left me dazed. It was a good thing we travelled with another couple (great company I might add) or I might never have found my way to the pool bar or buffet. It was pure luck that I even found the beach. I yearned for, but could not afford, an ocean-view room where I could wake up and watch the waves roll in each morning. Although it was an adjustment, it was still paradise. Practicing yoga on the white sandy beaches with the turquoise waves splashing beneath my heels was just the ticket. And despite all the fear-mongering that might leave one quivering even at the thought of being in Mexico, I was more relaxed and at peace there than anywhere I’ve ever travelled.
The announcement of nine new provincial court judges across the province will help manage the backlog in B.C.’s courtrooms, but alone, it doesn’t do justice to the magnitude of the problem. Just one day after announcing the new judge appointments, Premier Christy Clark unveiled what she’s calling a ‘reform initiative’ to deal with the significant challenges running pervasive throughout the court system and identified in a new provincial government report, also released Wednesday. Along with shuffling ministerial responsibilities so Attorney General Shirley Bond can focus specifically on spearheading the judicial reforms, the province also appointed a review chairman – Geoffrey Cowper, Queen’s Counsel – to consult the various stakeholders and map out how to best address the top issues affecting public access. The latest moves follow work done last summer to evaluate the growing pressures in the system, with the next step expected to include discussion over the coming months as Cowper prepares to make a final report and recommendations this coming July. B.C. residents will have to wait and see what suggestions come out of this latest review, but taxpayers can rest assured that unless there is a call for a major restructuring in our system of delivering justice – from police on the streets all the way through the courts and into the prisons – we’ll continue to struggle with courtroom backlogs and criminals walking free on technicalities. The situation is so bad right now, it’s entirely possible those instances will continue even with a major overhaul. — Nanaimo News Bulletin

Extended transit should benefit all
I
am writing in response to an article by Richard Rolke, "Evening Transit Moving Ahead in Vernon," Jan. 6. Upon reading this article, I had a few thoughts immediately come to mind: 1. Yay! It's about time we had transit later than 6 or 6:30 p.m. 2. What makes the workers at Vernon Jubilee Hospital so special? What about all of the other workers who do not drive and must find their own way to and from work where there is no transit available? 3. No evening buses to Okanagan College prevents many people from accessing evening classes (especially Continuing Ed classes only offered at night), rendering that facility somewhat less then 100 per cent available to all the of community. Isn't availability part of the college's mandate? 4. Re: "I don't think people are taking the bus to restaurants." How can you take a bus to a restaurant when there isn't one available to be taken? And, "There is free parking downtown on Saturdays so people are
WRONG WAY TO GO The recent writers who extolled conservatism and the HST are either disgracefully uninformed if not immoral. Conservative ideology is the uncivilized remnant beliefs of aristocrats when capitalism first started. They tried to “conserve” all their advantages of the past – believing that only “men of means” should rule. Since they had all of the wealth, they advocated policies of greed and selfishness with no redistribution of the wealth except upwards and a survival-of-the-fittest belief for the rest. They advocated the two-class capitalist system of owners and workers as the only system – with the owners having all the power and the workers having none. This is seen today by conservatives being against real democracy, social programs, unions, minimum wages, worker rights and benefits and even government pensions. They do not want to pay taxes, particularly the fairer progressive income tax but want to shift taxa-

driving." May I remind the powers-that-be that not everyone has the luxury of owning/ operating a vehicle and these people still need to work, eat, shop and socialize. 5. Re: Mr. Spiers comments regarding more details and a trial period. I agree. A trial period is a good idea because, in this case, I am of the opinion, "build it and they will come." As the community realizes that it can go to the mall or go uptown to res-
tion to consumers via the costly value-added taxes such as the GST, PST and the HST so they can pay the lower rate. This encourages the “underground market” where many small entrepreneurs do not charge, nor pay, sales taxes which further deprives the government of funds. Conservative politicians do not serve the public interest. They serve corporations and the private sector instead of the general public which they were elected to do. This is seen by constantly privatizing all profitable government assets and services instead of keeping the profits for government use which could reduce taxation. They are against social programs constantly under-funding them making them outrageously inefficient – and then fraudulently arguing for them to be privatized or abolished. Conservatives are the “war party,” constantly wastefully spending money on the military rather than on social programs (re the recent $30 billion for war planes while hospital waiting times increase). Conservatives advocate “small government” and "small taxation"
taurants, shops and pubs, or perhaps out to the college, you will see a rise in ridership. Isn't this additional activity good for our local economy? 6. May I say it's long overdue to have transit service available on Canada Day and Remembrance Day. I repeat myself, not everyone in our community has the luxury of owning and operating a vehicle. People who cannot afford to drive or cannot drive
which means preferring no social programs but uncivilized “survival-of-the-fittest” concepts – except to aid businesses with taxpayers’ money. Secondly, they advocate neo-liberal free trade and foreign investment policies which prevent government from operating in the public interest. “Free trade” forces businesses and workers to compete with slave-wage conditions abroad (even hi-tech is being off-shored) – meaning eventual destruction of local businesses, jobs and communities. But when their firms fail they hypocritically run to government for help. In conclusion, conservatism is the worst choice for citizens, the country and the environment (as they even reject the idea of global warming). Their ideology is based on profit, greed and self-interest which supersedes humanity and civilized concepts. Accordingly, new movements such as Occupy Wall Street have emerged to counter the conservative ideology of unbridled greed,
inequality and undemocratic behavior of governments. And if they don’t succeed this time, it’s a return to another Great Depression and conservative barbarism as in the Dirty Thirties. J.J. Rousso INSANE WAGES In regards to your article Feb. 13, by Cara Brady, titled "Off to work we go." She mentions the wages of some professional jobs and the time it takes to get these jobs. Nowhere is it mentioned about some professional athletes who are making insane wages for doing nothing more than entertaining us.

(e.g. medical reasons), or perhaps single parents without vehicles, may now attend these functions whereas prior they were unable to do so because of lack of transportation. I could go on about the "haves" and the "have nots," however, that is for another letter. What struck me most of all about this article is that at no point did anyone address this issue: not everyone in our community has the means to own and operate a vehicle. Vehicles are costly to run with gas and repairs, never mind insurance. Many other people in our community are struggling. Having a transit system with longer operating hours would open doors for many people to obtain employment, shop and socialize, thus improving the quality and standard of living in our community. To the powers-that-be, please look beyond your comfortable and convenient lifestyles to see how extended transit would be a benefit to our town. Wendy Chambers

Drivers not buckling up ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
North Okanagan drivers are still not getting the message about wearing seatbelts. Less than a month after 17 motorists were ticketed for seatbelt infractions during a traffic enforcement initiative by the local RCMP detachment, the number went higher at the latest road check. “Members of North Okanagan Traffic Services conducted a one-day enforcement in Vernon, checking for seatbelt use and distracted devices, mainly cell phones, and our officers wrote 22 tickets for no seatbelts,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. Five motorists were given tickets for using their cell phones while driving. The fine is the same for both offences, $167. Other tickets issued by officers during the enforcement included one each for failing to stop at an intersection and failing to stop for a yellow light. Three drivers were given tickets for not having Ns on their vehicle while still being in the novice stage of driving. One person was ticketed for failing to stop for a police officer. Another was given an infraction for failing to produce a driver’s licence. Eleven vehicles were given notice of order for having vehicle defects and there was one small marijuana seizure. Over the past week, two people were charged with impaired driving, and there were four 24-hour suspensions issued by police officers.

Offender registry draws debate RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The Village of Lumby is being cautious before taking a stand on identifying sex offenders. Previous council had supported calls to make the national sex offender registry public, but current council has decided to pursue more information first. “We want to find out how they got on to the sex offender registry to start with,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich, adding that releasing such details Lori Mindnich could have a negative impact for an individual if they were linked to an offence that wasn’t an actual sex crime. “We have to be really careful about what they (federal government) consider an offender.” Lumby began considering the issue in November when a letter was received from the City of
Greenwood demanding that the registry be made public. “Children should not have to live in fear,” said Greenwood Mayor Colleen Lang in the letter. “Parents should not have to live in fear. Canadians should have the right to know if we have a dangerous offender amongst us so we can protect and be vigilant. Children have a right to live and play in a safe community.” Lang admits that a public registry could impede on the privacy of convicted offenders. “Once they repeat their offences, they should forfeit their rights and their names be displayed in a public registry,” she said. The Village of Lumby has not received any concerns from its residents about sex offenders, but Mayor Kevin Acton defends spending time on the matter. “Someone brought this to our attention so we might as well have a look at it,” he said. “We’re just trying to be supportive of Greenwood.”

Hydro issues consumer alert Morning Star Staff
BC Hydro is warning its customers to be aware of a telemarketers. Reports have been made around B.C., including in Vernon, where telemarketers claim to be calling from BC Hydro to sell energy-saving devices called “Hydro Power Savers.” In some instances, telemarketers also incorrectly claim they are in possession of the customer’s power consumption information. According to the Crown corporation, BC Hydro does not endorse “Hydro Power Savers.” In addition, the utility says customers’ power consumption information is strictly confidential and is not shared with third parties. As part of the calls, the alleged telemarketers are reportedly claiming that the “Hydro Power Savers” can save customers money on their bills. Customers who have been contacted by telemarketers about “Hydro Power Savers” are encouraged not to enter into any agreement for purchase. The Better Business Bureau has included “power saving scams” as one of the top 10 scams for 2012. Customers who want to file a complaint can visit the Better Business Bureau’s website at www. mbc.bbb.org or they can call the BBB at 1-888803-1222.

nationally. Because I Am A Girl initiatives, run through Plan Canada, support girls who are disenfranchised due to poverty, gender and other constraints. Therefore the Share the Love event aims to raise funds to help young girls see and reach their potential. “There are people out there who want it to change,” said 20-year-
old Cochrane, who is currently a hair and makeup stylist and formerly a 2008 Queen Silver Star candidate. “I’m one of those people.” In doing so, the event will showcase some home-grown successes.

where she hopes to visit a Because I Am A Girl project. “I’m young and energetic and I think I’ll bring a lot of education there,” said Cochrane, eager to also work with some orphanages. “I’ll be able to see first-hand what these projects are like.” While such opportunities as education are often taken for granted, the 2009 Kalamalka Secondary grad feels blessed to have granted the gift of learning in life. “A lot of girls around the world aren’t able to do that. It’s pretty sad,” said Cochrane. She is also inspired by influences such as Canadian model Coco Rocha, who has used her runway stardom to attract attention to and lend a hand in Haiti. “People in fashion are starting to make an impact,” said Cochrane, who is committed to doing her part. The Share the Love event also marks the 50th birthday of Cochrane’s biggest inspiration – her mother. At just 19-years-old, her mom was diagnosed with leukemia and told that she would never be able to have kids. But despite the odds, and the radiation, she not only beat the disease, but produced two healthy children. “I just feel very blessed to be a live and have a mother that had so much courage,” said Cochrane. For more information or to donate to the raffle or charity, contact Cochrane at 250-2601163.

A Vernon man has finally taken to the sky, soaring towards entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. Glenn Derouin and his partner, Mark JenningsBates of Peachland, left Queensland, Australia at 5:30 a.m. local time Wednesday aboard their paramotor rigs for the start of their epic transAustralian flight aimed at setting a new world record for the longest expedition by paramotor. Everything went well for the Flight4Life team as it left a small airfield in Woodstock near Townsville and landed just short of Charters Towers. As the pilots rest after a sleepless night due to a large thunderstorm dousing their tents and equipment on the eve of their first leg, their team has no respite. “There is no rest for the ground crew,” said Craig Greenwell, the only Australian on the trip. “Once the pilots have landed, we need to refuel the pilots and the machines, charge various equipment, download video and photos and prepare everything for a launch later in the day. I am sure the next 60 days are going to go by pretty quickly.” The pilots are battling headwinds, which historically would be blowing form the north giving them assistance. But for the next few days, at least, they will be flying into them toward Cloncurry before they turn south east for the

Glenn Derouin, of Vernon, is co-piloting a Flight4Life aboard a paramotor over Australia, aiming to set a world record while raising funds for safe drinking water. second leg. The team expects to arrive in Cloncurry by the end of the week before heading southeast toward Rockhampton, where they hope to arrive early next week. The take-off was delayed a week because of wet weather. “For sure we are going to experience a few setbacks like this along the way,” said Jennings-Bates, an adventurer-philanthropist also known for his triathlons and rally car driving. “You come into this kind of a project with eyes wide open. But all the gear is here, the weather looks as though it is going to be favourable for a start in the next few days and so we are very positive about getting on with the task at hand.” For the two Canadian pilots, the world record attempt is the culmination of a few years of preparation. They met in 1990 after Jennings-Bates had taken a hiatus from rock climbing and decided he wanted to try his hand at paragliding. For several years, they flew together in the Canadian Rockies before Jennings-Bates’ started to raise a family with his wife, Jackie. But a few years ago, Jennings-Bates approached Derouin
about tackling a world record project for charity and as a result, the Flight4Life was born. Although the pilots have in their minds an ambition to set a new world record, there is an alternative motivation to complete the project. Each day, nearly 6,000 children die from lack of access to safe water or adequate sanitation. “That is a child about every 20 seconds and, yet, we do not need to invent a cure, we know the answer,” JenningsBates said. His personal goal is to raise $4 million for the Rally4Life Foundation, a charitable organization based in Canada that provides safe water solutions for remote communities as well as funding for schools and orphanages. The flying duo will also be raising awareness and funds for a well known Australian charity, the Royal Flying Doctor Service. “Everyone tells us what a great organization they are,” said Derouin. “We have already met many people impacted by the positive service they provide in rural Australia and around the country in general.” Supporters will also be able to follow their progress live on the internet at www. TheFlight4Life.com.

Mustangs fall to Thunderbirds KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Captain Reed Cashato was not about to sugarcoat his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening performance Thursday morning in the 41st annual Coca-Cola Pee Wee Invitational Hockey Tournament at Civic Arena. Cashato scored once as the Vernon Watkin Motors Mustangs lost 6-3 to the Vancouver Thunderbirds, but he was hardly smiling after Game 1 of the eight-team extravaganza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolute crap,â&#x20AC;? offered Cashato, asked to sum up the Mustangsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; showing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could have given a lot more out there. We had a lot of turnovers and a lot of stupid penalties. We quit and he (head coach Jason Danbrook) asked us to play harder next game (Thursday night versus the Spokane Jr. Chiefs).â&#x20AC;? Vancouver, which finished sixth in their home league, a game under .500, got two goals apiece from Nicholas Varabioff and Greyson Valente. Singles came from Ryan Watt and Jamie Ambrose. Qinn Litherland pocketed a pair of assists. The Mustangs, who are last in the Okanagan Mainline League, received other goals from Matt Kowalski and Connor Johnston. Vernon skated with the Thunderbirds, who held period leads of 3-2 and 4-2 and registered a pair of first-period powerplay tallies. The Mustangs took eight of 12 minors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if we had competed for 60 minutes, we could have beat them,â&#x20AC;? said Mustang
defenceman Dylan Sedlacek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work hard enough and we were undisciplined. We had about five shifts in a row where we kept the puck in their end, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough.â&#x20AC;? The T-Birds, who were over the moon when they beat the Kamloops Jardineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blazers, in overtime, to win the Burnaby Winter Club tournament earlier this season, have three returnees, including 13-year-old captain Tyson Lin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vernon works hard and they are nice and quick,â&#x20AC;? smiled Lin, a centre, who played spring rep hockey with the Mustangsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Connor Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hard on the attack. I thought our team played well. We have success when we work hard.â&#x20AC;? Michael Davidson was in net for Vancouver, Shane Meadahl for Vernon. The Mustangs finish preliminary play today at 3 p.m. against the Edmonton NWZ Raiders, who bounced Spokane 9-5 Thursday morning. Brett Gammer and Trey Fix-Wolansky each scored twice for the Raiders, while Izaak Fersovich, Mitchell Babbik, Briar Whyte, Ryley Appelt and Troy Dudley supplied singles. Anthony Cuglietta provided four helpers. Spokane got a deuce from Carter Jones and other goals from Dawson Tritt, Desmond Parisotto and Hayden Dick. Andrew Clark chipped in with three assists. In Thursday afternoon action, the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies parlayed two-goal outings from Tanner Sidaway and Jordan Gulney

Brady Lynn also scored for the Island crew, who got three helpers from Nick Bulosic. Zach Anderson had both goals for the Flames. Edmonton faced Vancouver Thursday night, while Bow Valley meets the Seattle Sno-Kings at 8 a.m. today, followed by Juan de Fuca versus South Delta Storm at
10:15. Spokane battles Vancouver at 3 p.m., Juan de Fuca tangles with Seattle at 5:30 and South Delta squares off against Bow Valley at 8 p.m. The semifinals go Saturday at 12:30 and 2:45 p.m., with the A final Sunday at 6 p.m. Arena officials must have run out of red and blue paint.

Nowick returns as Vipers move into playoff contention GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
For the first time in a while, things seem to be going in Vernon Viper head coach Jason Williamsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favour. His team seems to be heating up a month before the B.C. Hockey League playoffs, the opponents they are trying to catch have slipped a little, and he is getting healthy bodies back from the injured reserve. With sniper Darren Nowick expected to play tonight against the Merritt Centennials at Wesbild Centre, injured defencemen Luke Juha and Max Mowat Darren Nowick will be the only Vipers watching from the press box. Vernon visits the Chilliwack Chiefs Saturday at Prospera Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some help in the last few games, even with Trail (Smoke Eaters) beating Chilliwack (5-3 last Saturday),â&#x20AC;? said Williamson. Now we control our own fate... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to get some healthy bodies back and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing out
there with being able to roll four lines.â&#x20AC;? Regarding the playoffs, he added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to get in, but we want to climb as high as we can get. Second place isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even really out of our reach yet.â&#x20AC;? A return to the lineup isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only good news for Nowick, who has missed the last 10 games with a shoulder injury. The Long Beach, Calif. product has committed to the NCAA Division 1 Northern Michigan Wildcats for next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was talking to them over the season, and it seemed like a good fit for me because the coaching staff there is the way I like to play,â&#x20AC;? said the talented 20-year-old. Building off a strong second half in his rookie campaign, the product of Long Beach Calif. is enjoying a breakout year in his second season with the Snakes, compiling 25 goals and 42 points in 37 games. Said Williamson: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arguably been one of our best players here, if not the best. His work ethic is second-tonone when he gets on the ice and when you work like that good things are going to come.â&#x20AC;?

On Tuesday night, with a little help from the recordsetting Penticton Vees, the Vipers found themselves in a tie for the fourth and final Interior Conference playoff spot. With Pentictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-0 dismantling of the Chiefs for a league record 30th straight win, coupled with Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-1 decision over the Smoke Eaters at Wesbild Centre, the Snakes are tied with the Chiefs, both teams sharing identical 24-201-2 records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just strung four wins together here and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge for us,â&#x20AC;? said Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rookie Turner Lawson, who collected his first-ever BCHL goal and first star against Trail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we just keep the ball rolling into playoffs, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to lead right into a series too.â&#x20AC;? Lawson, in his first game back after missing five with a concussion, opened the scoring 5:49 into the first period. Missing a golden scoring opportunity just seconds before, the 18-year-old Kelowna product pounced on a redirected point shot by Geoff Crisfield, and shovelled the puck past Trail netminder Lynden Stanwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove.

Vernon Vipers' John Knisley attempts a shot against goalie Lyndon Stanwood of the Trail Smoke Eaters in BCHL play Tuesday night at the Wesbild Centre. Vernon held Trail to five shots in the third period, but had trouble putting the game away until Brendan Persley (7th) took a few whacks at a loose puck in front of Standwood, and ended up pushing both the goalie and the puck across the crease at 5:12. Said McEwan: “We were right in the battles, it was about 50-50. It could have gone either way and they got the puck luck and the puck’s in the net, and it’s game over pretty much.” Added Trail assistant coach Bob Dever: “In the second period, I thought we played real well. That powerplay goal was huge for us and it brought the energy back to us. That third goal was just an unlucky goal-mouth scramble.” Ben Gamache nearly made it 4-1 later in
the third when he floated a dump-in that McEwan tried to bat down with his glove, but ended up redirecting it past Standwood. Referee Brandon Liefke waved the goal off because of a delayed offside. “We really won it with that first (period), and the other two periods were just mediocre so we really have to clean that up,” said Lawson. SNAKE BITES: John Knisley assisted on Persley’s goal and earned third star...Halcrow recorded 22 stops for his 19th win. Stanwood had 29 stops for the Smokies...The Vipers held a moment of silence for longtime fan Ray Greenwood, who died Saturday night... The Vees’ 30th straight win eclipses the previous record set by the 1989-90 New Westminster Royals.

Third Sonja Gaudet of Vernon takes her shot as brakeman Gerry Austgarden of Kelowna watches intently at the B.C. Wheelchair Curling Championships last weekend at McArthur Island Curling Club in Kamloops. The Neighbour crew swept Gary Cormack’s Surrey rink 2-0 in a best-of-three title tilt to advance to the Canadian championships, March 18-25, in Thunder Bay, Ont. last weekend at McArthur Island Curling Club in Kamloops. Cormack, a gold medallist at the 2006 Winter Paralympic Games in Torino, started the opening game strong, jumping to a 6-0 lead after just two ends, but gave up seven consecutive points to fall 7-6. In the second tilt, Cormack jumped in front to a 6-1 lead after three ends, but Neighbour, backed by Gaudet at third and the front end of Gerry Austgarden and Corrine Jenson, equalized with a triple in four and a deuce in five. Singles by Cormack in six and seven put his rink up by two heading into the final end, but Neighbour delivered a clutch draw for three with is final stone. Neighbour advances to the Canadian Wheelchair Championships, March 18-25, in Thunder Bay, Ont. ■ Brad Wood’s Nufloors has earned a first-round bye after top-
ping the Baron Insurance Super League at 13-3. Dave Merklinger’s Canwest Propane and Robbi Kuhn’s North Enderby Timber finished tied at 12-4, and will draw straws to see gets the other bye. The loser will join Mark Longworth’s Sladen Moore (10-6), TJ Perepolkin’s Canaccord Wealth Management (7-9) and Jim Cotter’s Woodland Equipment (7-9) in quarterfinal matchups Wednesday at the Vernon Curling Club. Perepolkin secured a spot in the playdowns with an 8-7 extra-end win over Alyssa Kyllo’s Armstrong Optometry Wednesday night. A first-end steal of one by Perepolkin was quickly overshadowed by a three-ender by the 4-12 Kyllo clan in two. Perepolkin came right back with a triple in three, with great sweeping by spares Andrew Mercer and Kevin Geistlinger. Tied 6-6 after six ends, Kyllo stole one in seven, and Perepolkin had a
shot for two in eight, but his final tap-back attempt picked to allow an extra end. Jenn Gerow’s CanHealth/A&G Supply racked up singles in ends two, three and four to squeak out a 5-2 win over Cotter. Aaron Herrick, subbing at skip for Cotter, had a chance for three in eight, but rubbed a guard. Gerow also finished at 6-10. Longworth collected a deuce in seven and single steal in eight to upend Kuhn 4-2. With three blank ends to start the game, Longworth finally got on board with a single in four, only to have Kuhn reply with consecutive singles in five and six. Merklinger came from behind with a triple in six to bury Sherry Heath’s DeVine Vintners 5-3. Heath (1-15) recorded singles in one, three and five, with Merklinger responding with singles in two and four.

It won’t erase a disappointing weekend, but the North Okanagan Knights will be happy to get back on track with their 7-2 shellacking of the Chase Heat Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Knights opened the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League tilt with five unanswered goals before the Heat got on the board with a penalty shot by Kevin Leschuk, and a man-advantage goal by Dominick Hodges late in the second frame. Second star Derek Andrews, scoring backto-back goals in the second period, and first star Cory Hochhausen, who supplied a goal and two helpers, led the North Okanagan attack. Singles by Lee Muir, Mateja Leko and Vernon’s Chris Gillies completed the offence in front of Aaron Brandoli, another Vernon product who finished with 20 stops. The Knights, third in the Okanagan Shuswap Conference’s Doug Birks Division at 32-150-1, end a five-game home stand tonight against the Princeton Posse (26-17-1-3).

Looks like skips Jim Cotter and Darren Heath drove all the way to Vancouver Island just to face one another at the Canadian Direct Insurance B.C. Men’s Curling Championships in Parksville. Both Vernon rinks opened the playdowns at 2-1 and met in a B event showdown Thursday night. Cotter, the defending provincial champion, gave up five points in the seventh and eighth end to open with an 8-4 loss to New Westminster’s Jay Peachey Wednesday morning, but rebounded that night with a 6-4 decision over Smithers’ Ron Vanderstar. Backed by third Kevin Folk, second Ty Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, Cotter pummelled Nanaimo’s Steve Waatainen 9-4 Thursday morning. Heath, who curls with third Dave Belway, second Darin Laface and lead Darryl Houston, also started Wednesday with a loss, falling 7-2 to New Westminster’s Ken McArdle before outgunning Victoria’s Neil Dangerfield 8-3. The Vernon foursome needed an extra end to stop Kimberley’s Tom Buchy 10-9 in a Thursday morning thriller. Fort the first time in its history, the B.C. championship will follow a 16-team, triple knockout format, followed by a four-team page playoff. Previously, it had followed a 10-team round-robin with page playoffs. The winner advances to the Tim Hortons Brier, March 3-11, in Saskatoon. The championship semifinal and final games will be televised on Shaw TV. ■ Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet once again has a provincial crown after her rink, skipped by Darryl Neighbour, swept Vancouver’s Gary Cormack in a best-of-three series at the B.C.

Adams backstops Mechanical crew Morning Star Staff
Goalie Garrett Adams was superb and winger Braeden Cooper set up two goals as the Stevenson Mechanical Blues bounced the Lakeside Printing Predators 3-1 in a North Okanagan Pee Wee Super Hockey League showdown Sunday afternoon at Wesbild Centre. Cooper, who was named the Blues’ first star for his speed and strong forecheck, set up Riley Bos for the Blues’ first goal, eight minutes after the Preds had gone up 1-0 on Landon Currie’s goal. Centre Nick Mitchell took a feed from Bos and wired a slapshot from the low slot past Preds’ goalie Cam McKenzie, midway through the second period. Kaylan Lawrence added an insurance goal with 6:32 left, on a pass by Cooper. Captain Aaron Botterill skated miles both ways and showed some dazzling moves to take second star for the first-place Blues (11-3-1). Roadrunner centre Samantha Head was third star for her stellar job shadowing Currie. The second-place Predators, who got strong showings from Cole Martin and Ryan Lazar, fell to 11-5. In Saturday Pee Wee play, the Blues stopped the North Okanagan Knights 4-2. Mitchell went top shelf twice, two minutes apart in the second period, to put the Blues up 2-1. Cooper supplied 1+2 and Bos added an insurance goal in support of Adams. Cody Huber and Jake Crandlemire answered for the Knights (8-53). Winger Sam Frisby bagged two goals as the Bannister Blazers torched the Knights 5-0 Sunday at Wesbild Centre. Alex Laurila, with 1+2, Branden Lehoux and Abbey Magnus helped boost the Blazers (8-6). D-man Tiege Doughty had two assists. Rhys Larsen earned the shutout.

The team – Morgan Holland, Josh Litven, Tanner Gilbert, Payton Kineshanko, Jarrett Miller, Vanessa Yaremcio, Tyler Yule, Danika Langlois, Shale Miller, Haylee Gosselin, Cameron Pryor, Chris Neilsen and Chloe Yule – all played solid. The Lumby Atom Stars, sponsored by Kineshanko Logging Ltd and Armstrong Co-Op, stayed atop the Super League with Tage Kineshanko backstopping the Stars to a pair of wins. Kineshanko made several clutch saves as the Stars stopped the Revelstoke Grizzlies 3-0 Saturday at Pat Duke Memorial Arena. The Stars opened the scoring at 15:00 of the second period when Quin Williamson converted a feed from Liam MacLeod. Drew Mackenzie and Nick Teale clicked in the third to round out the Stars’ offence. Ethan Beliveau, Matthew Yaremcio, Wyatt Whitcomb, Emily Romailler, Conner Seehaver, Noah Clarke, Ryan Desliets and Jordan Romailler all combined for great team play and hustle.

Lumby shades Cowboys The Lumby Stars outgunned the Corbett Office Plus Cowboys 7-6 in Midget Super League play Saturday in Lumby. Brad Haslam pulled the hat trick, scoring twice in a fourgoal third period, as the Stars overcame deficits of 6-3 and 3-0. Ryan Fair (2), Corey Tinney and Greg Oakland also scored for Lumby. Justin Ramsey, Mitchell Lukacs, Dustin Folliott, Adam Michelin, Scott Latwat and Sam Whitelaw responded for the Cowboys, who pulled their goalie and were all over the Stars’ netminder Mike Britch, who denied the Cowboys with a save off the shoulder in the dying seconds. The Stars went to 7-7, while the Cowboys dropped to 4-11. Mark Francis scored twice as the first-place Nedco Titans stormed the last-place Winfield SRI Homes Bruins 8-0 Saturday in Lake Country.

Travis Webster scored the winner on a nice move late in the game, assisted by Brock Wagner, to break a tie and then the Tropics held off a 5-on-3 powerplay for the final minute. Captain Russell Hickman, from Webster, and Adam Fenske, from Hickman, scored in the first period while Brett Vandale, from Brandon Tarasenko, and Mitchell Cousins, from Tarasenko, gave the Tropics a 4-2 lead after 40 minutes. The Tropics also doubled up Salmon Arm Blackburn Excavating 10-5 at Priest Valley Arena. Hickman and Cameron Strike turned hat tricks, while Rowyn Lewis-Hatherley and Wagner contributed a pair of goals apiece. Webster contributed five assists and Luke Vandale recorded an assist while backstopping the Tropics (11-2-1).

Caps brush back Sharks for title The Northern Capitals clipped the host Vernon Seed Orchard Sharks 5-4 in Sunday’s final of a four-team Bantam female hockey tournament at Civic Arena. The Caps, who draw players from Houston, Smithers and Burns Lake, got 2+2 from Taylor Beck (Top Offensive Player). Beck scored 30 seconds in on a breakaway to set the tone for a great end-to-end game. Cailee Bauml responded for the Sharks five minutes later by powering her way past the defence on a breakaway and finding the far side. Taylor Vandale and Cathou Bauml earned assists. The game went back and forth the rest of the way. Brittany Jackson (2+1) and Hannah Scherck (1+2) and Taylor DaSilva (2A) were the Sharks’ best line throughout the final, turning pucks over and creating scoring chances. The Sharks’ defence of Taylor Cousins, Selena Bridge-Hanson, Chelsea McCaig, Nikala Debalinhard, Hannah Swift and Bauml was solid. The Caps outshot the Sharks by a wide margin with Sharks’ goalie Bailey Berndt (Top Defensive Player) making countless big saves. Said Sharks’ head coach Rob Bauml: “The tournament was a resounding success and hopefully this will help us to build a bigger, better girls program for next year. All of the teams here were made up of experienced and beginner girls and they all had a great time.” The Kelowna Avs defeated the Dawson Creek Canucks 4-3, in overtime, for third place. In preliminary play Saturday, Beck pocketed 4+2 as the Caps iced the Sharks 7-2. Jackson, on a rebound of a Cousins’ shot, and Vandale, from Bauml, scored for Vernon. The Seed Orchard gang upended Dawson Creek 3-1 on goals by Hannah Swift, on a spectacular solo rush, Jackson off a rebound and Bauml on a boomer after Lexes Adams (Sharks’ game MVP) made a great play in the defensive zone. The forward line of Molly Crandlemire, Bauml and Brooke Berube dominated the game.

Tyler Yawney had no chance on. Zupp scored on a rocket backhander bar-down for the winner with 24 seconds left. “The boys had a lot of fun and came out for the pre-game warm up with mini hockey sticks, surprising the parents and coaches,” said Ajax head coach Darren Zupp. Brad Jones turned the hat trick and one assist as the Ajax stopped Abbotsford 5-3 in their opener. Dallas Zupp had 1+2, while Brenden Zupp had the other Ajax goal. Clay Coles was strong in goal, while Sean Greene earned MVP on defence. The Talon Benefits crew got two goals each from the Zupp brothers in a 4-1 win Saturday morning over the Kamloops Warriors. Game MVP Yawney stopped 29 shots, while Gavin Opp played a great two-way game and had one assist. On Saturday night, the Ajax skated to a 2-2 tie with Kamloops #3, getting goals from Jones and Brenden Zupp. Tireless Layne Greene earned MVP for his stellar defensive showing.

calls from local media about his winning threeminute film, One Way. The contest was in support of raising awareness of impaired driving amongst youth and the prize is a $4,000 grant which goes directly to George Elliotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dry grad committee and the 2012 dry grad celebration. This is the second year BCAA has hosted the contest, open to senior year students across the province who want a shot at the prize money for their school. BCAA spokesperson Neila Melani said the quality of the 48 entries this year was astonishingly high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The production values of all the videos are incredible, they are really well done.â&#x20AC;? When Madsen found out about the competition his first step was to come up with a believable story. He took his inspiration from an anonymous poem he was given during driving lessons at All Weather Driving School.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The poem is called Jenny and the Moonlight Ride. I wrote the script based on that,â&#x20AC;? explained Madsen. It took a week of writing and tweaking the script with full notations before he felt ready to shoot. Madsen relied on skills gained from workshops and film courses taken at the Center for Arts and Technology in Kelowna to develop the storyline and get ready for shooting. Madsen worked with his two best friends and fellow George Elliot students Daniel Harrison, in Grade 12 and Nick Novak Grade 11, to bring the production together and shoot the video. The team worked off and on for a month to complete the project. Madsen estimates up to 30 hours were spent shooting and he spent about an equal amount of time editing the video. Madsen is happy that the theme of the intense
three-minute video caught the attention of the professional judges and then the 6,500 voters who cast their votes online. He is definitely going to the George Elliott dry grad as well. After graduation Madsen plans to pursue a film career and, â&#x20AC;&#x153;go all the way, with ending up in Hollywood.â&#x20AC;? The film is intense, with graphic scenes that drive home the consequences of teen drinking and driving. There is a full score, solid acting, writing that drives the plot forward through believable relationships and action rather than the dreaded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tellingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the viewer what is happening. It is well worth your time to do a quick search to see for yourself why Madsen took home top prize. To see the film, One Way, go to Youtube and use the search terms â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one way eric madsen production.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Or go to BCAA www.bcaa.com/drygrad.

Tragic fatalities on Lake Country roads in the past two years are spurring members of the Lake Country Rotary Club to raise safety awareness while walking along roads with and without sidewalks. After a successful program of distributing 1,000 reflective armbands to schools last year, the club has expanded the program to include the entire community this year. The club was presented with the opportunity to obtain 8,000 pairs of reflective arm bands and Rotary has joined with the
“We need drivers and pedestrians to be more aware.” — Gordon Lugrin District of Lake Country, the RCMP, the Central Okanagan School District and the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce to distribute the safety enhancing devices. Gordon Lugrin president of the Lake
Country Rotary Club, says the program is about education too. “Visibility is key when people are out walking. We need drivers and pedestrians to be more aware.” To help people understand the risks the distribution program is paired with a speaker’s bureau which will send experts to schools, senior’s centers and community events to talk to people about walking with traffic and reminding drivers to share the road. The program has engaged local Lake Country resident Erik Madsen to create a
short film about the issue. The reflective arm bands will be distributed to Lake Country schools and senior’s centers. Beginning in mid-February volunteers will be at local business with arm bands and donation boxes for members of the public to pick up their own set of arm bands. RCMP and Citizen’s Patrol will also have supply of arm bands to hand out when the opportunity arises. The cost of the arm bands has been completely covered by the Lake Country Rotary Club.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Don’t let someone who has trouble managing his or her own financial affairs take care of a money issue for you. If you acquiesce and let this person do it anyway, you’ll be sorry. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you’re having a difficult time making a decision, forgo taking a leadership role. Let someone else who seems to have his or her head on straight call the shots. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s one thing to help out a pal who is overwhelmed with work, but don’t saddle yourself with a friend’s burdens merely because he or she can’t be bothered to handle them on their own. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When becoming friendly with a new group, watch out for one member who is somewhat unpopular, and for good reason. She or he might try to glom on to you and drag you down as well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone with whom you’re closely affiliated might be able to put on pretenses and get away with it, but that doesn’t mean you can. The best rule to follow is to simply be yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Just because you haven’t heard from a pal who is close to your heart for some time, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he or she isn’t interested in keeping in touch. Circumstances could have this person tied up. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Money in itself is not evil, but the love of it can sometimes cause people
to lower their standards and do things that they shouldn’t. Don’t you be one of them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t single out one person in particular to be nice to just because you want a favor that, chances are, you won’t get anyway. You’ll go further being amiable to everyone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Beware of any involvement that is off limits, such as an illicit romantic encounter. It might be flattering to be wooed, but it’ll create complications you don’t need. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) An insincere person might try to manipulate you by attempting to make you believe that what he or she is asking of you is for your best interest. If you’re smart, you won’t take the bait. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If by chance you are feeling a powerful inclination to be the center of attention, don’t do anything silly. All eyes will be focused on you all right, but not for the reasons you think.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder WITH YOUR BACK AGAINST ANOTHER WALL Robert Louis Stevenson said, “There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets (desserts) come last.” There is only one important difference between today’s deal and yesterday’s: North has a fifth spade. How does that affect the right line of play in six spades? West leads the heart king and continues the suit when East encourages with his eight. South’s three-diamond rebid is usually a helpsuit game-try, saying that his hand is too strong to pass out two spades but not strong enough to jump to four spades. He
is asking North to look at his diamond holding. With a good holding there (a useful honor or two, or shortage), North should jump to four spades, regardless of his pointcount. Only in borderline cases should he judge based on hand strength. Here, North has reasonable diamonds and is nearly worth a fourdiamond rebid, which would indicate a maximum with good holdings in spades and diamonds. South then blasted into six spades, hoping for the best in the trump suit. As in yesterday’s deal, declarer must play the trump suit without loss. Yesterday, when dummy had only four spades, it was right to start with dummy’s queen, hoping either West

had the singleton jack or East would err by failing to cover with king-doubleton. Now, though, it is best to cash the ace first. This wins whenever either opponent has the singleton king -- a 26 percent chance. Leading dummy’s queen, trying to pin West’s singleton jack, is half as good.

meet needs as they arise. “Variety gave Braden a special tricycle a few years ago but he was not able to ride it on his own as we had hoped,” said Walton. “We were able to give the tricycle to the occupational therapist for the school district so several children are now able to benefit from it. We were hesitant to ask again for a tandem bike.” Walter,18,is a Clarence Fulton Secondary student who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy. He developed normally until he was nine months old, then he started to have seizures, which have never been completely controlled. His development slowed and he is non-verbal and requires total personal care. His greatest pleasure is to be in the outdoors but opportunities are limited. “There are a lot of places you can’t go with a child with a disability to do things as a family,” said Walton. “The rest of the family likes to bike and,

The Variety Club Show of Hearts Telethon takes place Saturday and Sunday on Global TV. of course, parents like to teach their children to bike and see them enjoying it. We asked Variety for a tandem bike so that someone could ride with him.” Walton thinks a lot of families who could benefit from help from Variety do not apply because they don’t know the range of services or think the application process is too intimidating. “You do have to ask. They will not come and find you. But the application is easy. You need to
have a letter from a professional about the need. We had an occupational therapist say how biking would help Braden with keeping his leg muscles active, he pedals as much as he can, and describe what kind of bike would be most useful. We got the custom-made bike, which cost about $5,000, about six months after we applied,” she said. “They were so generous. Braden really enjoys it. He sees other kids doing things and wants to participate. The biking is so beneficial to him in

helping build strength in his legs. He uses the bike at school in the winter in the halls for exercise. He graduates this year and he will be able to use the bike in adult programs so he will continue to benefit from it well into the future.” Now Braden’s older brothers can take him out on the bike. The family also got assistance from Variety for a van conversion. “I was thrilled to get the bike and quite humbled because they were so generous. Variety has allowed us in a small way to be a typical family. We would not have been able to get the bike otherwise because there are so many other costs with a child with disabilities that you just don’t have the money for extras,” said Walton.

that her family always supported Variety. “I never dreamed that someday I would have to access their services,” said Walton. “Variety is very supportive and generous and nobody needs to feel embarrassed about asking for help. Variety allows families to do normal activities in situations that are not normal. You never know who could be benefiting from help from Variety. It could be people living on your street. It could be your family.” The Variety Show of Hearts Telethon takes place Saturday and Sunday on Global TV with the entertainment segments featuring Michael Buble, Mariah Carey, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, Adele, and others.

Deck TAKES @$)9 ETHIC TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lucas Myers constructs a oneman-play out of wood, sweat and an existential crisis Morning Star Staff
Fish-out-of-water tales are nothing new on the stage. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the Starbucksdrinking, weather-moaning urbanite move to small-town Canada before. Usually the move comes with a heightened enlightenment and humour-tinged observations by the said urbanite, but mostly the tale comes through all the â&#x20AC;&#x153;eccentricâ&#x20AC;? characters he/she meets and sees in his/her new surroundings (i.e. Dan Needlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Wingfield Trilogies or Stuart McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vinyl CafĂŠ). But when a former city slicker decides to relocate to the wilds of the Kootenays, and gets into home repair as a way of â&#x20AC;&#x153;finding himself,â&#x20AC;? things do get a little interesting. So goes Lucas Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; one-man play, Deck, or How I Instigated Then Overcame an Existential Crisis Through Home Improvement, which comes to Vernon Feb. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got power tools, partial nudity and physics,â&#x20AC;? Myers told the Kelowna Capital News when the play recently staged in that Okanagan city. A darkly hilarious commentary on the modern milieu of a small town, semi-urban environment, Deck examines the fine line between perfectionism and obsession, chaos and freedom, and why a piece of two-by-six lumber isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really two-inches-by-six-inches. Not even close. The one-man play is also likely the only time the Performing Arts Centre will have a deck, normally built for backyards, constructed within its confines on stage. (More on that later.) The play follows Cliv (played by Myers), a city slicker and meticulous parent of two, who takes major losses in the recent recession and declares bankruptcy. He then transplants himself to a dilapidated house in small-town B.C. The story is not dissimilar to Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; own, although being a theatre actor, he was likely already broke to begin with. Myers has been creating theatre since his graduation from the National Theatre School in 1998. Working with Theatre SKAM in Victoria, he performed and composed music for many original plays.

Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lucas Myers brings his observations and power tools to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Feb. 18 in his one-man play Deck, or How I Instigated Then Overcame an Existential Crisis Through Home Improvement. In 2001, his interests turned to collaborative creation and he studied with the SITI Company of New York, returning to the West Coast to apply their techniques with like-minded artists. With the birth of his first child in 2006, he relocated to Nelson, and began to build a reputation creating one-person performances and touring productions locally, nationally, and internationally. And like Cliv, Myers also embraced a new start as a rural, eco-conscious back-to-thelander (switching Starbucks for Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous joe, Oso Negro) when he moved to the West Kootenay city. Myers has also done his fair share of home repair since purchasing a home in the notoriously hilly and historical city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a teacher and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in theatre, so it was a bit of a fixer-upper and the deck was my first project,â&#x20AC;? he said. In Clivâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, the attempts at self-sufficiency are quickly hijacked by a bad house buy and he is forced to try his hand at home improvement.
His structurally unsound deck becomes pivotal to putting his life back in order â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and perhaps even his very survival. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andreas (also played by Myers), the charismatic unemployed carpenter who takes Cliv under his wing and offers to lend a hand. As Cliv is drawn into Andreasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; world and free-wheeling lifestyle, his gross ineptitude at everything from parenting to cutting wood grows apparent. In the real life tale, Myers enlisted the help of his father-in-law, a retired building inspector, to help build the deck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would drop by on a daily basis to give me some tips,â&#x20AC;? said Myers. What the then novice builder discovered was that a two-by-six board is, in fact, a 1.5-foot-by-five-foot board. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;twoâ&#x20AC;? and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sixâ&#x20AC;? are measurements from the millâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s settings before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sliced. Myers also mulled over the true meaning of terms like a galvanized nail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;catalystâ&#x20AC;? in the English language, but a zinc-coated nail in construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like this different world, and these
words are all in our everyday language, but they have a totally different meaning,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I knew there was enough there to build a story around.â&#x20AC;? And yes, Myers did build his deck, an admittedly more successful effort that actually won him some skills he can use on the days theatre isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite paying the bills. Now an expert at sawing and nailing wood, Myers will actually donate the deck he builds on the Vernon stage to a draw. Those interested in winning the platform for outdoor barbecues and the like can enter at the Vernon Home Depot store on Anderson Way. The deck will then be delivered to the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door after the show. Tickets to see Deck are $35/adult, $32/ senior, and $30/student, available at the Ticket Seller box office by calling 250-549-SHOW (7469) or online at www.ticketseller.ca. Please note: This performance is not suitable for children, and carries a warning of power tools and partial nudity. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With files from Jennifer Smith at The Kelowna Capital News.

Leonard Cohen: Old Ideas
P
eople mention Leonard Cohen’s age with a sense of perplexed astonishment. He’s 77?! Maybe this is surprising to those who feel that the process of aging is one of decline, uselessness and inactivity. It’s a familiar story that the Canadian poet/songwriter was booted out of semi-retirement at 70 when he was told he was ripped off and broke. Cohen’s relationship with time could be acceptance but not resignation –– move on and see what happens. Old Ideas is Cohen’s first album of new material since 2004. His live material from old and recent shows and tours has carried that space in between. Old Ideas sounds like Dean Gordon-Smith what Cohen has always done, with the vocalist bringing Montreal’s European heart back to its North American home. As always, Cohen’s voice is intimate and familiar. He talks rather than sings, but because it’s him doing it, no other way is needed. Cohen’s songs are sparse in arrangement and the minimalism is in keeping with his now deeper, slightly gravelly baritone. The music is supplied by Cohen’s touring band –– a wise idea given their instinctive readings of classic material on his last live recording. His music has never sounded so good. His worldweariness has energy and this album could be considered as a segment of his “blue” period. The blunt lyrics with Cohen’s eternal flow of inward observation, casual sensuality and off-hand nostalgia don’t disappoint. Show Me the Place, Darkness and Come Healing are examples of Cohen in tune with his muse; keeping it satisfied while leaving more for later. And that’s one of Cohen’s artistic achievements, that age and vision don’t cancel each other out. This is a return to form, being new material, and it’s a triumph of atmospheric songwriting that achieves the trick of darkly-tinged reflection that bypasses any sombre moods.

Celebrating multiculturalism CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
Multiculturalism Minister Harry Bloy praised the members of the Inter-Faith Bridging project committee for their enthusiasm in bringing people from different religions and cultures in the area together. “Multiculturalism should be celebrated every day in B.C.,” he told the committee members during a visit to the office of the Vernon and District Immigrant Services Society, sponsor of the project, where he signed a copy of a book called B.C. People: Portraits of Diversity in B.C., which he presented by VDISS. Inter-Faith project member Nola Dibski told the minister about some of the project’s activities. “We have an exceptional steering committee with 15 people representing seven different faiths. We had 120 people out for the Inter-Faith Café and a lot of interest in the art workshops. We feel really positive about the difference the Inter-Faith project is making in the community,” she said. Margaret Sanford, representing the Baha’i faith, said, “I think this project is going to foster friendship and understanding among members of different faiths for a long time to come.” The Feb. 18 workshops are: Bhangra/ Latin Dance (part 2); Drumming for the Earth (part 2); Faith Art History with Heidi Maddess and Maya Philpotts; Music with Lindsay Lundquist; Mizuhiki (Japanese art form) with Arnie Hayashi; and woodcarving with Wayne Lariviere and Mollie Bono. The Inter-Faith Bridging project activities also include the Sacred Spaces Tour, learning about and visiting four local places of worship on Saturday; the Diversity Health Fair with Dr. Art Hister, booths, food demos and entertainment, March 16; and the Potluck Gala March 17.

Life BC JOBS PLAN: TECHNOLOGY Technology is a fast-growing sector of the B.C. economy. The industry is a magnet for highly educated professionals attracted to world-class high-tech clusters including the life-sciences, digital media and wireless, information and communications technology, ocean sciences and motion picture production. The average wage of $63,440 is more than 52% above the average for all jobs in British Columbia, which makes this sector even more attractive to job seekers. In 2009, the high-tech industry provided 84,000 jobs with a total salary bill that added up to $5.3 billion, up from $4 billion in 2007. The job growth will continue, with a projected 57,000 technology jobs opening by 2019, and an annual growth rate of 2.2%. British Columbia attracts global technology leaders, including Pixar, Disney, Boeing, MDA, Microsoft, Sierra Wireless, SAP, Dolby Canada, and Intel. These major technology companies look for a stable economy with a supply of experienced employees and a supportive government. British Columbia has both. It helps that the University of British Columbia is rated No. 1 in terms of technology licensing, an indicator of a high level of success and a culture that nurtures innovation. A healthy high-tech sector also attracts investors who are impressed by the industry’s performance. Revenues have more than tripled in the decade leading up to 2007, and were up another 4.4% by 2009, to $18.9 billion. Currently, investors receive a 30% refundable tax credit, supporting up to $100 million in investment every year. The provincial government, seeing the role they can play in this fast growing sector, will increase the value of this program by $3 million, allowing more individuals known as ‘angel investors’ to put their own capital directly into eligible small business, and to offer strategic expertise.B.C. firms attracted more than 19% of Canada’s venture capital investments in 2010, with B.C. the top province in life sciences venture capital investments. High technology wears many hats. The BC Cancer Agency is a world leader in cancer research, and B.C. is North America’s third-largest centre for film and TV production, averaging $1.2 billion in spending per year, 80% of which is foreign money. The global entertainment and media industry is expected to grow by five per cent a year to 2014, when it will hit $1.7 trillion. B.C. is well positioned to take advantage of this growth. The high-technology industry is not an island. This sector supports B.C.’s entire economy by helping other industries become more innovative, productive and globally competitive. Digital media and interactive gaming technologies are being used in education, agriculture, mining and health care. If you have a gamer in the family, and these days anyone with children qualifies, this Interior South Company will be of great interest. The brainchild of Rob Bartlett, an internet entrepreneur and gamer who launched the company in December 2009, WTFast, also known as LagKiller, speeds up massively multiplayer
online games such as World of Warcraft by 60 to 90 per cent. Within minutes users can create an account, download their software and immediately play their game. WTFast has 110,000 users across the world, including in Australia, South Africa, Germany, Thailand and South America. There are other applications beyond the gaming community. Proprietors of internet cafes and restaurants can benefit from WTFast’s advanced subscription for internet providers. Because the game data is shaped to travel at the fastest possible speed, internet service is sped up. WTFast was the overall winner of Accelerate Okanagan’s inaugural Jump:Start Challenge in November 2011. The company received $10,000 in prizes, including free enrolment for one year in Accelerate Okanagan’s Venture Acceleration Program, which helps high potential technology companies accelerate their growth; as well as one year free office space at Accelerate Okanagan’s Kelowna or Penticton innovation centres, a valuable leg-up for a young company. Other impacts are more global. With an estimated 5.3 billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide – India and China added 300 million subscribers in 2010 alone – the demand for digital, wireless and screen-based entertainment is immense. These two countries, India and China, are undergoing mass movements to urbanization, which also gives B.C. opportunities to offer them clean, efficient energy, waste reduction and health-care solutions. B.C. is perfectly aligned to supply a healthy portion of this demand in the coming years. Airplane sales around the world are expected to reach $US3.6 trillion over the next 20 years to replace aging planes and expand fleets, providing opportunities for our advanced manufacturing sector. Plus, as a climate change leader, we are at the forefront of renewable energy technology development. Finding new markets for our solar, wind, biomass and other technologies can help turn B.C. into a cleantech powerhouse. As Canada’s Pacific Gateway, B.C. is strategically located to reach growing global markets. In addition, B.C. is close to technology and entertainment hubs in Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Seattle. Under the BC Jobs Plan, the provincial government will work with the federal government to meet our workforce needs and expedite the immigration process for researchers and scientists in other parts of the world who want to bring their expertise to British Columbia. B.C.’s fast-tracked immigration process through the Provincial Nominee Program encourages firms to locate in B.C. so they can hire experienced business immigrants. The B.C. government’s focus on this sector, identified as one of the eight key sectors with the greatest opportunity to bring new dollars into our economy from our most important trading partners, helps nurture an industry that has immense potential to accelerate growth throughout the province.

ear Annie: I have been married to “Clifford” for 36 years. He recently told me he is in love with his secretary and wants to be with her. Did I mention she is 23 and in the process of getting a divorce? Clifford is the last person I would have expected to do this. I know I can be difficult, but he’s not perfect, either. I Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar love him and thought he felt the same. He says he doesn’t know whom he wants to be with, but he spends all his time with his girlfriend, so I don’t have much of a chance of getting him back. We have two grown children who are totally disillusioned and disappointed in their father. Do I wait for him to decide? For how long? — Crushed Heart Dear Crushed: See a lawyer immediately. Whatever Clifford decides, you must protect yourself financially in the interim. Make the necessary arrangements to manage on your own should that turn out to be the case. We also recommend you get some counseling to help you deal with the uncertainty of your situation and prepare for the possibility that your marriage is over. How long you are

tempting, may make the parents feel good, but it can cripple the children in the long run. Dear Annie: “Understands in Nebraska” was the most recent of several letters from women who have lost their desire for sex and can’t understand why their husbands still want intimacy. That was me a few years ago. I had no desire for sex, but complied, as I felt it was my “duty.” Eight years ago, we moved to a new city, which meant new doctors. I found a wonderful ob-gyn who was compassionate and intuitive. She asked about my libido, and I told her the truth. She explained in depth about how hormones can become depleted after menopause. I had taken synthetic hormones, but stopped due to health concerns. She said they now have safer alternatives and suggested I try a low dose. Of course, there is always a slight risk involved with any medication, but I was willing to try. That first month was amazing. Not only did I have more energy, but my libido came back and sex was better than ever. I want these women to know they can feel healthy and energetic again. Bio-identical hormones and testosterone changed my life. — Still Frisky at 60 Dear Frisky: Thanks for the testimonial. Readers should understand that bio-identical hormones are still hormones, and everyone reacts differently.
willing to stay in limbo is up to you, but don’t feel pressured to rush into anything. Clifford may ask for a divorce, he might return to you, or you could get tired of waiting and want out. Dear Annie: My husband and I both work and make good incomes. He has two daughters, now aged 16 and 19, and I have been their stepmom for 12 years. I love them dearly. Last Christmas, each child received nearly $400 in cash gifts from the extended family. A week later, both girls saw jackets they wanted. I said we would pay half and they could use some of their Christmas money to contribute the other half. One chose to buy a $140 jacket. The other decided not to buy anything. I find that they are choosier when they chip in. My husband was irked that I required them to pay half. He prefers that they have minimal financial pressure so they can concentrate all their time and effort on schoolwork and not worry about getting a job. What do you think? — Stepmom Dear Stepmom: We’ve got your back on this one. It’s not as if the girls needed the money to buy food. Asking them to help pay for nonessential luxury items, especially when they have plenty of cash to do so, teaches them something about financial responsibility and delayed gratification. Overindulgence, no matter how

Longer days and the sound of melting water make many of us gardeners impatient for spring and summer. Late winter, though, is a most important time of year, as it’s the perfect time to learn, plan and start projects that will make the upcoming growing season more rewarding, beautiful and delicious. Dingy snow on the ground and sad produce at the grocery store has many of us dreaming of fresh veggies from the garden. Why not do some research into urban and year-round gardening? Andrea Bellamy’s book Sugar Snaps and Strawberries: Simple solutions for creating your own small-space edible garden is for folks who have limited space and would like to grow delicious food. She shows you how to have your tiny nook, corner, porch, balcony, or postage-stamp-sized yard overflowing with fingerling potatoes, fragrant herbs, sugar snap peas, French breakfast radishes, and scarlet runner beans. Yum! For those who would like to extend their harvest season into the
winter months, Elliot Coleman’s book, FourSeason Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long shows gardeners how to grow traditional winter vegetables in backyard cold frames and plastic-covered tunnel greenhouses without supplementary heat. Copies of these books are available through the Okanagan Regional Library. If you prefer receiving your gardening information in person, mark the upcoming seed swap events on your calendar. Seed swaps are great places to meet people who love sharing their knowledge of food gardening. The Shuswap Seed Swap and Sale is hap-
pening on March 3 at A.L. Fortune secondary school in Enderby. And the Schubert Centre hosts the SENS seed swap and plant sale on March 22. Okanagan College is offering a number of courses on permaculture, taught by local experts Jana and Gord Hiebert of Element Eco Design. Topics include soil ecology, food forestry and water harvesting. Have
you wanted to build a rain barrel but didn’t know where to start? Free workshops resume in May at Xerendipity Garden in Polson Park. Workshop themes may include: rain barrel building, backyard composting, saving your harvest and winterizing your garden. See Facebook.comVe r n o n C o m m u n i tiesInBloom for more information.

B.C. joins LNG gold rush
T
he first thing to understand about the race to liquefied natural gas exports is how far back in the pack B.C. is starting. Canada has issued its first two export licenses for LNG export projects near Kitimat, to sell the product of the vast Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeastern B.C. One LNG plant has begun construction, the second is approved to proceed and a third is
But the domestic price is down for the long term and the U.S. has plenty of its own gas now. The third thing to know is that there is misinformation about shale gas and “fracking.” Shaky videos show someone touching a match to water that has had gas bubbled through it, to artificially promote the idea that hydraulic fracturing of shale deposits contaminates ground-

Unlike the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal, plants and associated pipelines have actually received all the necessary permits from our constipated federal-provincial environmental process. Australia has approved six LNG projects in the last two years, with a combined construction cost of $180 billion. Reuters reports that their $34 billion Ichthys project
water. This and some scientifically illiterate media reports are all it takes to get a protest movement going these days. The fact that a kilometre or more of solid rock separates B.C. shale deposits from surface water sources is seldom mentioned. The major public health risk from B.C.’s natural gas boom is the escape of sour gas, which contains poisonous, heavier-than-air hydrogen sulfide. That’s been a problem for B.C.’s conventional gas industry for decades. There are legitimate concerns about water use and chemical discharge from shale fracturing, and the B.C. government has scrambled to upgrade its regulations on that as well as sour gas. Premier Christy Clark has run to the front of the LNG parade, trying to convey the notion that multi-billion-dollar investments made years ago by Chinese, Japanese, U.S. and Korean corporations are somehow the result of her “jobs plan.” NDP energy critic John Horgan insists that the B.C. Utilities Commission oversee
all of this, so the B.C. Liberals don’t subsidize these giant transnational energy companies with cheap electricity and stick BC Hydro ratepayers with the bill. According to Horgan, the BCUC should also have lawyered away over the smart meter program for God knows how long, as analog meters become obsolete and Quebec and others modernize their electricity grids without hand-wringing or exploitation of imaginary health threats. This is not a good time to dither. An LNG terminal is proposed for Portland, Oregon and there will be others. LNG plants need lots of electricity, and the B.C. Liberal government wants to market B.C. LNG as the “cleanest” in the world because it’s processed with minimal burning of gas for power generation. Will foreign buyers care about B.C.’s LNG production methods? Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history? More on that in a future column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

Jayke It is with great sadness we announce that our beloved Jayke passed away February 6th, 2012. Jayke came to us one hot sunny day in need of water, shade, food and love and he very quickly found a special place in our hearts. Once we officially adopted Jayke his life changed, in his younger years he loved to run like the wind with his friends at BX Park and the Grey Canal. He also loved to accompany his “dad” to job sites, often having to work hard at keeping those little critters away. In his later years he slowed down just a little and loved traveling in the motorhome and was our great companion on many trips across Canada and around the USA. As his very senior years progressed he was very happy to have his morning walk around the orchard, he never would miss his walks. We know Jayke would like to thank all his many friends in the North BX for all the treats and cuddles he has received on his walks over the years. Also thanks to all his “Aunts and Uncles” that helped make his life so special. He was a very clever dog, a very loyal dog, a very caring dog, with the most beautiful brown eyes that made many people fall in love with him. He will always be missed and hold a very special place in our hearts. We will find comfort in knowing Jayke is now in Rainbow Bridge, running like the wind again and playing with his very special friend Vegas while they both wait for their guardians, so they can once again walk beside them in heaven.
