Delay for closing arguments in perjury case ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

It will be three months before closing submissions are heard in the case of a former Vernon teacher and administrator charged with two counts of perjury. Closing arguments in the matter against Deborah Louise Ashton will be heard in front of Justice Geoff Barrow in Vernon Supreme Court on either Monday, June 17, or Tuesday, June 18. Ashton’s lawyer, G. Jack Harris, requested the adjournment after the lunch break Friday, and Crown lawyer Don Mann agreed with the submission as both lawyers said they would not have enough time Friday afternoon to give their final arguments. June is the earliest the two lawyers and judge can all be available. Ashton is charged with two counts of perjury in connection with statements she made during her first trial in February on five counts of allegedly having a sexual relationship with a

former students. That trial resulted in a hung jury. Ashton was then acquitted on all five counts in a second trial in March 2012, held in front of a Supreme Court Justice alone. She was charged with perjury before the second trial, with Crown alleging that Ashton made false and misleading statements in regards to a bracelet she allegedly bought her accuser, who Deb Ashton can’t be named because of a publication ban, and that she “always” picked up her son from daycare. Ashton was the final witness in the four-day trial Friday, and she admitted to Harris that she had been “way off ” in her answer from February 2011 that she always picked up her

son from daycare. It was proven when Ashton’s ex-husband, Mike Jellema, was on the stand Thursday that Jellema also shared in picking up his child from a Vernon daycare centre. “The answer I gave (in 2011) was incorrect,” said Ashton. “Obviously I reviewed it. It was my recollection that I picked up the kids on such a consistent basis I felt confident enough to answer.” Asked by Harris if she knew her answer in 2011 was false, Ashton replied “No sir,” and gave the same answer when asked if she had any intent to mislead the court with her response.” Under cross examination, Mann wondered aloud how Ashton could have been so wrong in her estimate of how often she picked up her son from daycare. “I should have taken more time and been more cautious in my answer,” said Ashton. “I regret it.”

has for the 13th consecutive year been voted…

Mann spent the better part of Friday morning quizzing Ashton over her inability to recall giving a bracelet to her accuser, but remembering giving him and his family gifts on other occasions. Mann handed the unique-shaped box that housed the alleged bracelet in question to Ashton and asked if she had any memory of buying the bracelet from a Vernon jeweler. “I don’t recall this box outside of this trial,” said Ashton. “You don’t ever recall going into the jewelry store to buy this bracelet?” asked Mann. “I may have gone into a jewelry store on Main Street in Vernon, of which there are several such stores, but I didn’t know the name. But I have no recollection of this bracelet.” “You don’t remember giving the bracelet to the student?” asked Mann. “I don’t recall that,” said Ashton. Harris did not bring up the bracelet while his client was on the stand.

Centre opens doors for Armstrong RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

You couldn’t wipe the smile off Gary Boss’ face, and B Elliott had to hold back tears of joy. Both were amazed and overwhelmed at the turnout for the grand opening of the Kindale Development Association’s Lydia Boss Centre Thursday. The 6,2000 square foot building on Patterson Avenue, in downtown Armstrong, is Kindale’s new home and named after its founder, Gary’s mom. “It’s really nice, yes, and the offices are great,” said Gary, 56. “Mom would have been proud.” The Lydia Boss Centre is home to Kindale’s administrative offices and where Kindale’s programs are developed. Those large offices are on the main floor. On the top floor are seven apartments for individuals who meet low-income standards. There are four, one-bedroom units, two, two-bedroom suites and one threebedroom apartment. All but the three-bedroom suite have been rented, though there are applicants for the available unit. Close to 200 people turned out for the grand opening, which was also held in conjunction with the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce Business

After Business networking event. “I can’t believe the crowd that has turned out,” said Elliott, Kindale’s executive director. “Our community is supporting us again. The Lydia Boss Centre is a commitment that Kindale made years

and years ago.” Lydia Boss, who would have been 100 in 2012, the year ground was broken on the new facility, recognized the need for education opportunities for children with special needs after Gary was born,

but there were no opportunities in the Armstrong area. With help from the community, including the Armstrong Kinsmen Club, Boss built the original Kindale school, which has evolved into what Kindale has become

today. “This is the culmination of 50 years of hard work in our community,” said Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper. “Not only by Kindale, but the founders and all of the people that have come through, especially the clients. We are so proud of all of the clients that are in Armstrong and are part of our community.” Lydia Boss’s son, Roy, who is Gary’s older brother, praised the community and his little brother for their efforts in having the new Kindale offices, complete with housing, built. “There’s an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child and I don’t think that’s ever been more true than in this community,” said Roy Boss. “And the reverse is actually true. Sometimes it takes a child to spawn a village and if it wasn’t for this guy here (pointing at Gary), this might not have happened.” Sue Phillips, president of Kindale’s board of directors, told the crowd Lydia Boss’ work will continue. “Lydia was a public health nurse and a person who believed every person is a valued member of our community,” said Phillips. “We look forward to carrying on her vision and her purpose long into the future.”

Complex gets rough ride richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Not everyone is accepting the potential benefit of a Greater Vernon sports complex. There were some intense discussion as about 30 people used a Friday input session to learn more about possibly borrowing $7.5 million for a running track and sports field next to Okanagan College. “The average wage here is very low. You ask for more money but we don’t have more money coming in,” said one man. If approved in the April 6 referendum, the money would be borrowed over 20 years and the impact for the average home would be $15 a year. Proponents of the project have stated that the facility would be a community asset and they expect a large

number of residents to walk there. But resident Karen Edgeworth doesn’t buy that argument, saying people use Wesbild Centre. “Walkers don’t use a regulation-sized track. I go by Polson Park (the existing track) and no one uses it.” The proposed facility has been promoted by the track and field club, running groups and minor football. “It doesn’t make sense to spend money on these groups,” said Edgeworth. Suggestions the facility would boost the economy by hosting events were also scrutinized. “We won’t get visited that often,” said Jim Babchuk, who lives in Lavington. “Where I live on Highway 6, there are no businesses that will

benefit.” Among the potential events are the B.C. summer and seniors games because they require a regulation-sized track which Vernon lacks. “It’s the only thing they are bringing up but they are only awarded every 10 years or so to the same town,” said resident Dave Lowry. Other questions revolved around the location and the impact on traffic. But some of those in attendance spoke out in favour of borrowing the funds. “As seniors, we can’t just think of our age bracket. It’s our young grandkids,” said Sandra Ohlemann of providing youth with activities. Ohlemann also spoke of the popularity of the track in Prince George. “Even in the winter you see a lot of seniors

walking there,” she said. Keith Pinkoski, Regional District of North Okanagan planner, investigated Kamloops’ track. “In the winter, they are finding walkers lining up to get on the track. They can’t clear the snow fast enough,” he said. Resident Klaus Ohlemann insists there will be an economic impact for businesses and residents if the complex proceeds. “The various sporting groups attract certain events. A club may hold a number of meets and there’s an influx of people,” he said. Tannis Nelson, RDNO community development co-ordinator, says recreational amenities help retain and attract residents. “We need the facilities to encourage people to stay,” she said.

Halvorson earns city’s praise richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Elmer Halvorson admits that he still misses responding to fires, but that’s only natural after 54 years. Halvorson joined the Enderby Volunteer Fire Department in 1958 at the age of 16, and the now 70-year-old retired last fall. “There was the camaraderie with the guys. There’s a real bond that you make,” he said. “I’m still physically in good shape and can drag hose but I felt it wasn’t the thing to do at my age.” On Wednesday, Halvorson received the Freedom of the City, Enderby’s highest honour, to recognize his contributions. “He’s an amazing commu-

Water rates clarified richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Increasing water rates are being clarified in Greater Vernon. While the base rate is climbing three per cent across the board, the consumption rate could rise even further based on how much water a household uses. A major change is for low water users. While they previously paid no consumption fee for anything under 20 cubic metres, there will now be a cost. “You are going from zero to a cost,” said Zee Marcolin, Regional District of North Okanagan utilities manager. “You are now paying for what you use instead of paying for 20 cubic metres and not using it.” Marcolin believes the change creates a more balanced system instead of low water users previously just paying the base rate. “They were subsidizing the cost for people who use more than 20 cubic metres,” she said. Marcolin says there is a cost for the utility to treat and provide water no matter how much a customer uses.

ment, Halvorson is a member of the Lions Club and served as a city councillor and regional district director. He operated Elmer’s Insurance. Halvorson has had a signifi-

cant presence around the fire hall for the last five decades. “He’s a great story teller,” said Kevin Alstad, fire chief. “He’s a great person and a really hard worker. He has a down home community attitude and he’s really involved.” Halvorson says he was surprised to learn he was receiving the Freedom of the City. “You don’t go into community service with the thought of being recognized, beyond being helpful,” he said. Enderby also recently presented the Freedom of the City to Alex Dayduke, who was a firefighter for 47 years. On Wednesday, lifetime civic merit awards went to firefighters Ray Kerkhof for 23 years of service and Greg Halvorson for 28 years.

Not at home in the range

know there are couples who enjoy cooking together and make it look like a wellrehearsed ballet. They savor the aroma of their secret recipe for wild salmon over lemon couscous, stir each other’s soups and sample each other’s sauces. Their skills are complementary -- one cuts and cleans, while the other sautes and bastes. These couples can’t wait to be in the kitchen together. Sue and I are not one of those couples. When we are both in the kitchen, we bump into each other. We are forever reaching for the same knife, the same pan or the same spice at the same time. Jim Mullen I shut the refrigerator door at the moment she wants to open it; I use the burner on the stove for my omelet when she wants to use it for her tea. She thinks I am in her kitchen; I think she is in mine. I love curry. The smell alone makes her sick. I love bell peppers; she’s allergic to them. I love to experiment and have never cooked anything the same way twice. If it’s in the house, it’s in the pan. I think recipes are a guideline; she thinks they are dogma. I have stolen magazines from the doctor’s office if they have recipes for things I might like. Hey, don’t judge me. And don’t tell me I’m the only one who does that. Sue, of course, would never do that. Her recipes sit in a well-worn box, yellowed with age and handed down from her mother and grandmother and earlier generations. All you have to do is translate a few words, like “gill,” “churn” and “sweetmeats,” from medieval to modern English, and most of the recipes still

work today. It’s like eating in Colonial Williamsburg every night. Dress up for dinner and wear your best buckled shoes. About twice a week, Sue will say, “Oh, I forgot to eat lunch.” Should someone like that even be allowed in the kitchen? I can remember every time in my whole life when I forgot to eat -- never. Right now I am thinking about what I’ll be having for lunch two Saturdays from now -what it should be, how long it will take to prepare, what I will have to buy to make it. Sue would be happy to live in our much-predicted future where breakfast is a red pill, lunch is a blue pill and dinner is a green pill. But she never eats breakfast, so I’d end up eating her red pill. Shopping with Sue for food is a nightmare. I’ll put a box of kosher salt in the cart and she’ll say, “No, we have some at home.” “What about that chicken?” “We have chicken in the freezer.” When we get home, I ask, “Where is the salt?” She digs through a cupboard and hands me a 10-year-old box of kosher salt. It is as hard as a rock. The salt is not simply stuck together but has become one solid crystal. You’d have to hire a diamond cutter to split it.

Wooing the ethnic vote is nothing new in the political world – especially in the scrappy mudwrestling that defines election campaigns and often politics in general in B.C. Over the past few decades, ethnic communities have wielded increasing political power, both in terms of individual voting, and fielding their own representatives. Winning favour in these communities can secure a mainstream candidate’s seat, or bolster a party’s fortunes. And so it’s little surprise the beleaguered B.C. Liberals looked to the ethnic vote as partial salvation from the political quagmire in which they find themselves. Except, in what has become virtually predictable Liberal fashion, the initiative was fumbled. What was conceived as an ethnic outreach effort turned into another embarrassment, with distasteful references to “quick wins” via government apologies to ethnic communities for historical wrongs. Apparently, it never occurred to the Liberal strategists involved that they were playing catch with a live hand grenade should the NDP – and thus the media, and thus the public – ever to hear about this ill-considered plan. Of course, that’s what happened, and Premier Christy Clark had to do some apologizing of her own. It seems the Liberals learned little from the last internal pratfall, when it was discovered they were breaking the rules by using taxpayer-funded computers and facilities to launch anti-NDP websites. Premier Christy Clark must be growing weary of having to say sorry for the mistakes of her team. It may well be that she won’t have to for much longer. – Black Press

Fiscal challenges add up to say no

reater Vernon is facing some difficult financial decisions regarding aging and inadequate recreational and cultural facilities. In addition, the future cost of maintaining and replacing city infrastructure is a major concern There is a demand for a new museum and art gallery. The politicians state that the need for a new pool be considered in 2014. Where would it be constructed? We are deficient in parks and facilities (we have no track and field facility). We are told that Civic Arena will need to be replaced very soon. Where will the replacement be constructed? The obvious location is the area of Kin Race Track. The multiplex was built with an ice plant sufficient to handle two sheets of ice. Unfortunately, local government has allowed the horse racing issue to drag on for years with no resolution. Horse racing is in decline everywhere and Vernon is no exception. Kin Race Track needs to be set aside for a higher and better use. The issue was before the Supreme Court of B.C. and rather than letting the issue drag on forever, let the court make a determination. Financially we should be aware of what many consider to be financial mismanagement: ■ Another $100 million for required improvements to our water system. ■ The gifting of $1million of land to Okanagan Regional Library, with the result that the city had to purchase another property at a cost in excess of $1million for Coldstream roundabout I have read with amazement the article in The Morning Star (Feb. 27) about the proposal for a roundabout at Kalamalka and Kidston Roads. 1. There is not enough room for a decent roundabout. Trucks will have to be able to drive through it as well. 2. This is a three-way intersection and the way drivers in Vernon and Coldstream negotiate roundabouts, there will be more chaos than there is now. 3. A traffic light is the best solution as this will give the cars coming from Kidston a chance to turn left on to Kalamalka Road and hopefully encourage drivers to use this intersection versus the Postill Drive stop. I drive through this intersection almost daily at various times and feel a traffic light is best in order to keep the impatient parents in check and traffic flowing in all directions. elisabeth reymond anti-idling bylaw I am writing in regards your recent article concerning the anti-idling bylaw the City of Vernon is considering implementing in 2014. I am a mother of three young children

the proposed 25th Avenue extension. ■ The lack of transparency regarding the repairs to the venting system of the swimming pool. These repairs are necessary because of the complete failure of due diligence in the early 1990s. ■ The failure of the regional district to implement new development cost charges at a cost to the taxpayers of $500,000. ■ The fact that the $7.5 million referendum funds of 2003 have been borrowed at 4.1 per cent interest and they sit in a savings account earning about one per cent interest. Meanwhile, we are making payments on the debt. ■ The City of Vernon assuming the full costs of main-

who is questioning just how helpful the new idling bylaw will be. It's not that I am against properly caring for the environment or taking measures to encourage awareness of environmental matters, but regulating idling to a five-minute window seems an impossible feat. Have you ever tried warming up a vehicle, bundling three cold children into it, thawing and scraping the ice from the windshield and then having your youngest child announce they have to go to the bathroom? I'm lucky if this whole process takes me less than the entire morning. Though I may be exaggerating, we have to be realistic. We live in Canada and it is cold in the winter. There are many seniors and people with physical disabilities who live here. Slapping them with a ticket of anywhere from $250 to $10,000, for trying to stay warm is not right. There are just too many scenarios that I can think of that would cause many goodmeaning citizens to break the bylaw. There has to be a better way. May I suggesting reducing Vernon's carbon footprint by having more than three people ride the city bus at one time. Just a thought. michelle brunelle

taining Polson Park and assuming all future improvements even though it is used by most of the North Okanagan. ■ The agreement whereby the city will transfer millions of dollars worth of our land to the regional district and give up voting rights on park matters. These are just some of the problems. We have incurred the debt of $10.5 million for the two floors at the hospital, will now have to borrow a further $5.5 million and have already taken on $59 million in debt related to the new hospital tower This debt is just part of the $80 million that we are responsible for, along with the adjoining hospital district. How will the city fund replacing city infrastructure over the next 15 years? There is an estimated $13 million annual deficiency related to our infrastructure. The city is in the middle of a core review. It does not know how it can handle its existing financial problems. Local government must implement a comprehensive 10-year plan which must address and define our needs and what we can afford. The formation of the North Okanagan Sports Society should be able to assist but our elected officials must take the lead. Vote no in the upcoming referendum and then the politicians will be forced to take a more sensible approach and let the taxpayers make informed decisions and hopefully result in our community being financially affordable. barry beardsell

kitimat refinery It's being referred to as refinery, but surely it must an upgrader that Mr. Black is proposing for Kitimat. For bitumen to be refined it has to be upgraded first and that upgrading requires the production vast amounts of hydrogen, the production of which requires vast amounts of energy. Presumably, Mr. Black's plan is to upgrade bitumen to a synthetic crude which can be exported to refineries elsewhere. The promise of jobs may be tempting but all of the environemntal and First Nations concenrs around the Gateway project are still in play. The bitumen has to get to Kitimat and tankers full of oil need to navigate the Douglas Channel and the outer islands to get the product to market. Call me cynical, but the Clark government is between a rock and hard place with respect to the Gateway project. They really want it, the people of B.C. really don't and there is an election coming up. If they can somehow sell Mr. Black's project to the people, they can make their

backers here and in Alberta happy. Howard brown

Godard backs epilepsy event Kevin Mitchell Staff Writer

Eric Godard never had a seizure in 335 games in the National Hockey League. The retired enforcer has always been in a safe place when a seizure has struck. And while living with epilepsy is a challenge, the 6-foot-4, 227-pounder has learned how to fight the condition. Godard, 33, has donated an autographed game stick for the silent auction and is lending his support to the Rock For Epilepsy dance Saturday night at the Best Western Vernon Lodge. There will be four groups featured – Rockwater, The Bone, The Kringles and The Dan Engelland Band. “I had my first one when I was 17 and then I started having them more when I was 23, and that’s when they gave me the diagnosis, and I just started taking medication from there,” said Godard, who was 17 when he first played for the WHL Lethbridge Hurricanes. “I went through a couple of different ones trying to find one that works for me because I guess that’s kind of the challenge.” Epilepsy is a condition that is defined by multiple seizures. An estimated one per cent of the general population has epilepsy, meaning 330,000 in Canada and four million Americans have the disorder. Actor Danny Glover, PGA golfer Jeff Klauk and musician Neil Young all have epilepsy. Famous people from the past who had the condi-

Added Godard: “It’s all about managing it, not only the stress it puts on not only myself, but my family members because they actually have to see you go through it and they gotta make sure they’re doing the right things to make sure that I stay safe.” Godard’s wife, Myrika, has a friend whose son has two seizures a day. “That’s gotta put

some major stress on the family and the kid as well, just trying to live a normal life.,” said Eric. “Hopefully, something can happen where they get the freedom to enjoy their life.” Marnie Taylor of Vernon has organized the 8 p.m. fundraiser to create awareness for epilepsy. Tickets are $15 and available at the door. Purple wrist bands will be issued to promote the fundraiser’s honoured colour. Taylor, 35, was diagnosed with epilepsy at 14 and struggled with the disease as a teen-

ager. “I’m on a new medication and I haven’t had a seizure since November and I only had three last year,” said the slim and trim Taylor. “I have a lot of good friends helping me with this dance. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” She gets amazing support from her father Larry, head of maintenance at the Lodge, and her mother Evelyn, employed at Vernon Seed Orchard. “Everyone’s putting the poster on Facebook,” said Taylor, who worked

Moving expenses can be a big tax deduction. To qualify you must move at least 40kms closer to your new job or 40 kms closer to a new work location with an existing company. Your move must be considered to be a permanent move - not just a job that is a short contract and then you plan to return home. If your move qualifies here are some of the expenses you can claim: Moving van costs, travel & meal costs for yourself and family, cost of selling your home i.e. legal fees and real estate commission among others. You must have all receipts for hotels, moving vans and house sale etc. Receipts for meals and travel are not necessary as CRA provide a simplified calculation for this purpose. Most important is a letter from you employer stating that whether or not you were reimbursed for your move – if “yes” then the $ amount must be stated and also the date you started work. Moving expenses can also be allowed for self-employed people. Moving expenses can only be deducted against income earned in the new work location, but can be carried forward to be applied to a future year if they cannot all be used in 2012.

Falkland parents want bus service Morning Star Staff

Some Falkland residents are tired of the bus leaving their children on the side of the road. A group of parents has asked the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap School District to extend bus service to

them even though they and their elementary aged children live in the adjacent Kamloops district. Parent Jacqui Gingras says the current bus stop for the 10 children is at Six Mile, which is eight kilometres from the proposed

stop of Moser Road ,on the Chase-Falkland Road. She points out that while they are in the Kamloops School District boundary and should be affiliated with a school in Chase, they live closer to Falkland. It would be a mini-

mum 1.5 hour-long bus ride to Chase rather than 15 to 30 minutes to Falkland, and they are serviced by other government departments out of Falkland. “We are not willing to consider having the Chase bus come to pick up our children and would respectfully submit that it would cost more financially, environmentally and socially to send our children to Chase,” said Gingras. For the bus to travel to Moser Road it would have to go into Kamloops district, which a couple of North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap trustees say has not been well received when discussed with their Kamloops counterparts. However, Gingras said she had a talk with the Kamloops board chairperson about the possible change and she believes the discussion was positive. Dave Witt, North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap superintendent, will contact the Kamloops district and pursue the matter further. The parents also asked the school district to consider having the boundary changed so they are in the North O k a n a g a n - S hu s w ap district.

Armstrong to re-enact first meeting RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

A special meeting with special guests will be held in Armstrong this month. City council, with help from special guest stars, plans to re-enact the inaugural meeting of Armstrong council to celebrate the city’s 100th birthday. The meeting re-enactment will take place Tuesday, March 26, at 7 p.m. in the Centennial Theatre. “We have formulated a great group of volunteers, along with council and staff, and we’re putting together a re-enactment of that actual first meeting,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie, who has co-authored a script for the event along with Wayne Ashton and Gail Salter. Ashton and Janet Macdonald will play lead roles in the re-enactment while current council will play members of the original council. Among the Armstrong celebrities taking part will be singer/musician Paul Moore and Armstrong Shamrocks player and coach Pat Nelson. “We’ve put together an interesting group,” said Nitchie. “It should be a real fun night.” A very limited number of tickets will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tickets are free and available at city hall. Water Week funds The City of Armstrong requested a $1,500 grant from the B.C. Water and Waste Association to help celebrate Drinking Water Week in May. The city received $1,000, and will take $500 from its water fund to supplement Drinking Water Week activities locally. “We will not need to find new dollars, we would utilize the money to purchase magnets that will go to each home advising of sprinkling regulations,” said administrator Patti Ferguson. Drinking Water Week takes place May 20 to 26. The city is participating in the Living Life Well Chamber of Commerce trade show April 27 in Armstrong with a booth. The city will promote water conservation and opportunities for dialogue and information handouts, and offer to sign people up for a tour of its water treatment plant.

Public to weigh in on community plan RogeR Knox Morning Star Staff

A review of Vernon’s official community plan wouldn’t be complete without the public having a say. The city has announced a series of public open houses through May that will focus on one specific topic in relation to the plan. The OCP is a guiding document for growth in the city, and provides direction for issues such as land use or transportation networks such as roads, cycling and transit, along with environmental concerns and local amenities. “The official community plan provides a vision of what the city

could look like 10 or 20 years from now, or beyond,” said Rob Miles, long-range planner. March’s open houses will be held on Thursday, March 21, from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday, March 23, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. The OCP focus this month is land use. “That includes things like housing, housing types, commercial development, industrial lands and heritage property conservation policies,” said Miles. April’s topic will be about transportation issues, infrastructure and community amenities. The final open house in May will fea-

ture consultation on an overall growth strategy and how the OCP fits in with the regional growth strategy. It will also look at sustainability in Vernon. An open house in February kicked things off with a look at how to make Vernon a more youth-friendly city. Once the public input is collected from the open houses, a draft OCP will be written and presented to Vernon council. Miles is hoping that will be done sometime in the summer. “Of course, the public will have more opportunities to talk to council directly about the plan through the public process,” said Miles. There’s no concern if

you can’t make it to an open house to discuss that particular topic. Anybody can go to any session and discuss the OCP with city planners. Vernon’s current OCP was adopted in 2008 and is reviewed every five years.

20’ x 10’ Proj. Patio Cover

“So this is a good opportunity to review it, check in on some policies in the plan that are working well, and perhaps look at policies that might need another look in working towards the community’s vision for the city,” said Miles.

Court orders halt to practice Morning Star Staff

The B.C. Supreme Court has granted an injunction sought by the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of B.C. against a Vernon woman. Janice Ye has been ordered not to hold herself out as a person who is qualified to practice traditional Chinese medicine and/or acupuncture. Ye had been practising at the Healing Hands Chinese Massage Clinic in Vernon. The injunction was sought by the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of B.C. as part of a broader investigation into individuals who hold themselves out as being qualified TCM practitioners and/or acupuncturists, but who are not registered by the college. The CTCMA is the governing body for the profession and was established under the Health Professions Act (HPA) which governs all health professions in the province. The college was made aware of the practice of Ye through a complaint submitted by a member of the public and which incorporated a local newspaper article describing the services offered at her clinic. Ye was informed that she was in contravention of the Health Professions Act and the college’s bylaws and regulation. An undercover investigation was conducted establishing that Ye continued to perform acupuncture after having received two warning letters from the college. The court order prohibits Ye from holding herself out as a person who is qualified or registered to practice traditional Chinese medicine and/or acupuncture in British Columbia and from using the terms “traditional Chinese medicine,” “acupuncture” or “acupuncturist” in any title or description of her services.

Ambrose Firkus, Brennan Clark, Matt Anholt, Max French and Josh Monk rounded out the West Kelowna scoring in front of netminder Tyler Briggs (35 saves). Diego Cuglietta scored with 29 seconds left in regulation to ruin Briggs’ shutout. Devon Hascarl, a Vernon native, drew an assist on the opening goal. Tyler Steel, also from Vernon, had 28 saves for Merritt. In the other Interior series, the host Penticton Vees doubled the Salmon Arm SilverBacks 4-2 in Game 1 Friday night.

Capital gains for Volpatti

ou could pretty much hear Aaron Volpatti’s grin through the phone early Friday afternoon. He had just finished an optional practice at Boston University’s Agganis Arena and was meeting up with Dan Rosen, a Brown University Bears teammate now working in Beantown, for dinner. I’m sure they talked about their different life paths – Rosen played nine games in the

minors and then shut hockey down – and how Volpatti was going to have two new linemates for Washington’s Saturday matinee game against the Bruins. “I’m starting on the first line tomorrow,” beamed Volpatti, claimed by the Capitals on waivers from Vancouver Feb. 28. “With (Nicklas) Backstrom and Ovy (Alex Ovechin). Not bad linemates. Hopefully I can get them some passes and get some assists.” Ovechkin and centre Mike Ribeiro were the only Kevin Mitchell players who did not skate Friday at BU. Defencemen Karl Alzner, John Carlson and AHL call-up Steve Oleksy (who has the same agent as Volpatti) were shooed off the ice after playing so many minutes Thursday in a comeback win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Volpatti, a six-foot, 215-pounder, was shocked when Vancouver put him on waivers. He’s adjusted quickly Offering: Displays, Demos, Snacks & a raffle for prizes! to life as Cap and just moved into his own condo near teammate Joel Ward.

start. I think they were 2-8 so now we’re trying to get to .500, get in the playoffs and take it from there.” Caps’ coach Adam Oates would normally use seven-year veteran Brooks Laich on his No. 1 line, but the former Seattle Thunderbird sniper is hurt. Volpatti took a handful of shifts with Backstrom and Ovechkin versus Carolina, replacing Matt Hendricks, who started the game there. “[Volpatti] goes hard to the net and he can make plays, that’s what we need,” Backstrom said in a Washington Times blog. Volpatti planned to stress defensive assignments as the high guy with the ultratalented duo. He was going to be physical and create extra space for the all-world Euros. And the 1 p.m. game time was not an issue. “I like the afternoon games,” he told me. “Even in college, I had some of my best games in the afternoon. You get up and you play, there’s no waiting around.” As for the differences between the Sedin twins and Ovechkin, Volpatti said: “Ovechkin is a lot more about speed and going hard to the net. He’s a big boy. He’s pretty vocal and outgoing.” Left wing opposite Ovechkin has been a rotating cast of characters through 26 games. Marcus Johansson, Wojtek Wolski and Jason Chimera have each gotten a shot. Wrote Stephen Whyno, in his Friday blog: “What Volpatti brings, in addition to a simple, north-south game, is the ability to protect Ovechkin and Backstrom on Saturday at TD Garden against the Bruins. In the 1980s, the Edmonton

Oilers would sometimes put Dave Semenko on Wayne Gretzky’s line as something of a policeman.” Volpatti, 27, earned the promotion during Thursday night’s game after he set up Joey Crabb for Washington’s first goal. Volpatti was also stoked Friday about the Caps acquiring former Viper teammate Chay Genoway from the Minnesota Wild. “He played one or two games in Minny so hopefully he gets a shot up here,” said Volpatti. “We were really close in Vernon, but I haven’t seen him in a while.” Genoway, an all-star d-man, racked up 17 goals and 49 points in the 2005-06 BCHL season. He’s with the Caps’ AHL affiliate Hershey Bears. Said Hershey head coach Mark French of Genoway: “Fleet of foot. Good skill level.” Volpatti had one goal and 28 penalty minutes in 16 games with Vancouver earlier this season. The Revelstoke product was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by Vancouver on March 22, 2010. He and Vernon’s Claire Monahan, are engaged to be married in Revy in August. The Caps were 11-14-1 going into the game in Boston, 12th in the Eastern Conference. They were seven points back of the Winnipeg Jets, who held the eighth and final playoff berth. Just for the record, d-man Mike Green (groin) skated Friday but walked with a noticeable limp. John Erskine was not with the team in Boston even though Oates has targeted Sunday for the big blueliner’s return. That’s when Erskine is eligible to come off injured reserve.

Life’s a grind for Gaskell Morning Star Staff

Eleven-year-old Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club athlete Elena Gaskell has seen a season of hard work turn into success on the podium. Earlier this season, she won over the crowd and judges at the Smith Optics Rail Jam at Silver Star Mountain Resort to earn Top Female and Overall Crowd Favourite. Competing on the provincewide Timber Tour, Gaskell has moved up an age bracket and has seen success competing against 13- and 14-year-olds, landing third place in her first-ever halfpipe competition in February. Last weekend, Gaskell amped things up for the Canadian Shield Tour Slopestyle comp at Mt. Seymour and the Red Bull Jib Ski Kings/Queens Event and Cypress Mountain in Vancouver. At the Shield Tour event on Friday, Gaskell competed in the Amateur Open category. Sitting in second place after qualifying, she put down a solid final run which was highlighted by grinding a 20-foot rail followed by a front flip and a 720. Not only did she win lots of high fives and respect from the top pros in attendance, but she

Saturday’s Red Bull Jib Ski Kings/Queens event kicked off in a jam format where the athletes had 45 minutes to fit in as many runs and hits as possible to win over the judges. With no age categories or Pro/ Amateur classifications, Gaskell dug deep into her bag of tricks to compete. She pulled out solid rail grinds on the up-flat and cannon features, coming off both forward and switch, and landing

front flips and 720s on the air features. After all of the scores were tallied, Gaskell had secured bronze. Next up for Gaskell is the Smith Optics Slopestyle Grudge Match this weekend, followed by freestyle provincials, and the Show Down, Throw Down, Hoe Down, all hosted at Silver Star Mountain Resort. She carries sponsorship from Sun Valley Source for Sports and Full Tilt Boots.

Coyotes rally past Knights

CLIFFORD AUTOMOTIVE

250-542-6068

Morning Star Staff

For a while, it looked like business as usual for the North Okanagan Knights Friday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. Leading by a pair of goals in the first period, the Knights were in full control against the Osoyoos Coyotes in Game 1 of their best-of-seven Kooteney International Junior Hockey League’s Okanagan/Shuswap Conference final. However, the Coyotes responded with a huge second period, burying four unanswered goals en route to a 6-2 win in front of nearly 400 fans. Colton Thibault, on a terrific secondeffort wraparound, and Matty Saharchuk, fighting off a check in the corner before banking a sharp-angle shot off netminder Jesse Gordichuk, accounted for North Okanagan’s offence. Referee Brent Hazel waved off what would have been a third Knights goal, saying the net came off its moorings before Derek Andrews redirected a centering feed by Thibault on a 3-on-2 rush. The Coyotes started rolling late in the first period as Liam Neary beat netminder Austin Buzzell clean from the top of the circle one second after an Osoyoos 5-on-3 had expired. North Okanagan head coach Kris Mallette said the non-goal, coupled with the call that resulted in the two-man advantage (a questionable slashing minor to Andrews), shook his team’s focus. “Our guys were working extremely hard down low and just not getting the breaks,” he said. “They were getting frustrated because they weren’t getting rewarded with goals or calls, and it just imploded from there. Andrew Stack, Alex Grupe and 20-year-old sniper Garrett Kucher, with a pair, replied for Osoyoos in the second period. Rory Neary rounded out the scoring in the final frame. Mallette credited the Coyotes for weathering the early storm and dis-

Our guys just didn’t respond. “They really shut it down in the third and forced us to play uncharacteristic. We looked very scrambly and were pressing the issue.” Mallette pulled Buzzell after he allowed four goals on 18 shots. Dustin

Vernon’s diane Schuetze was named a CIS women’s basketball all-Canadian for the second straight year.

WINTER TOURS

Nikkel surrendered a deuce of 11 shots. Gordichuk was named first star for his 39-save showing. Mallette had full confidence his team would come out refocussed in Game 2, which went Saturday night in Armstrong. The third and fourth tilts are slated for Monday and Tuesday night (7:35) at the Sun Bowl. “No way did I expect this series was going to go four games either way,” he said.

Schuetze caps CIS career in style For the Morning Star

special

Diane Schuetze capped a sensational CIS women’s basketball career with an equally impressive honour. For the second straight year, Schuetze, a Vernon product with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack, was named an All-Canadian. The 6-foot-3 post received the award at a gala event Thursday in Regina. “I was shocked when I heard I was chosen again,” said Schuetze, who will graduate with a Bachelor of Tourism degree. “It’s nice to finish my career with another major award.” She led the nation in defensive rebounds (166) and total rebounds (248); was third in offensive rebounds (82) and rebounds per game (11.3); fifth in blocks (34) and free throws (103-142); sixth in total points (391) and field goals (149-269); seventh in field goal percent (53.2); and ninth in the country in scoring (17.8 points

per game). Schuetze, who also has a CIS AllRookie team selection to her credit, will look back fondly at the award. “To be considered one of the best players in the country is something that I am very honored have happen to me. It’s great to be recognized.” Said Ken Olynyk, Thompson Rivers Athletics and Recreation Director: “This is truly a reward for someone who has worked very hard over the five years she has been here. We are very proud of Diane, and her first team All-Canadian status is truly justified. She will be missed not only as an athlete but more importantly as a role model when she graduates this spring.” Added WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves: “We are very proud of Diane and her dedication to becoming the best she was capable of becoming. She has been a terrific leader and ambassador for our university and our women’s basketball program.”

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder

A SUIT COMBINATION WITH POSSIBILITIES

Bridge is full of suit combinations that can be played in different ways, depending on the number of tricks needed or the circumstances in a particular deal. Taken in isolation, how should South handle today’s heart suit for either five tricks or four? And in the full deal, how should South play in six hearts after West leads the diamond queen? In the auction, North’s three-heart rebid was game-forcing. South’s three spades was a controlbid (cue-bid) indicating a maximum, the spade ace and slam interest if North had a sufficiently strong

hand. Four clubs and four diamonds were also controlbids, showing the aces of those suits. To play the heart suit without loss, declarer should cash dummy’s king before finessing his jack. If South can afford one loser, he should cash his ace, play low to dummy’s king, and lead back toward his jack. (This would be the right play in six hearts if West had led a spade, not a diamond.) In this deal, though, if South loses an early trump trick, the opponents will cash two diamond winners. The best line of play is to take the heart king and ace immediately. Here, the queen drops and declarer can claim an overtrick. But if the queen remains

elusive, South plays on clubs, hoping to discard both of his diamond losers. If hearts are 3-2, declarer needs the defender with the queen to have at least three clubs. If hearts are 4-1 without giving South two unavoidable losers, the key defender must hold at least four clubs.

During the Second World War, 48,000 war brides and 22,000 children crossed the Atlantic to join their Canadian husbands and fathers. The Canadian War Brides & Families Association is hosting its annual reunion next month in Victoria, and war brides and family members are encouraged to take part. “War bride numbers have diminished but we know there are thousands of war bride children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren out there and we’d love to see you,” said English war bride Joan Reichardt, who met her Canadian soldier husband near the end

“These amazing women have given so much to their families and to Canada.” — Janet Leahy of the war. In 1946, she sailed across the Atlantic to be reunited with her husband, along with thousands of other war brides. Reichardt’s daughter, Janet Leahy, is helping to spread the word about the reunion. “These amazing women have given so much to their families and to Canada,” said Leahy. “Statistics indicate that one in 30 Canadians is directly related to a World War Two war bride.”

Tangled piles or excessive volumes may result in material left behind, therefore property owners can hire a chipper or haul to the landfill. Customers using bin service must make their own arrangements to dispose of prunings. Greater Vernon Recycling & Disposal Facility (Sanitary Landfill) is located 6 km south of Vernon off Hwy 97 (120 Birnie Road). Current hours of operation: from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more landfill information call RDNO at 550-3700.

complete with ideas to help get you started,” said Field. “Get your neighbours, school, sports team or staff involved. It’s a wonderful way to show your heart to the community.” Last year, the radiothon raised more than $30,000, all of which stayed in the Vernon area to help local families.

The Interfaith Bridging Project brings together all faiths to share traditions, conversation and understanding

cara brady Morning Star Staff

The Interfaith Café was a time to share good food and learn about the birth traditions for area faith communities. Almost 130 people enjoyed lunch prepared and served by the members of the Sikh Temple, then heard presentations before breaking into discussion groups. “Someone at our table told us about a Muslim tradition that when a baby is born, the father or grandfather whispers the name of God in its ear and puts a drop of honey on its lips so it will always associate sweetness with the name of God,” said Eva Strom, one of the Bahá’i representatives on the Interfaith Bridging Project committee, which organizes events to promote interfaith understanding and friendship. Last year, the committee had Interfaith Cafés and a variety of workshops and cultural events. “That’s a beautiful tradition,” said Maytée Ferrigno, who represents the Latin American community and the Catholic faith. She and Strom emphasized that they speak for themselves and only generally for other members of their faith groups. They were pleased with the variety of

people, including youth, at Interfaith Café Feb. 24. “Many people told us they will come back,” said Strom. The March Interfaith Café will be held March 24 at the Japanese Cultural Centre and will focus on coming-of-age traditions and customs. There will be a presentation on the Bar Mitzvah, and Ferrigno will talk about Quinceañera, the Latin American celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday. “It is the time when a girl is considered a woman and can wear makeup and high heels. She has a special party with family and friends. I remember how I looked forward to being 15 and having my own party and going to all my friends’ parties,” said Ferrigno, who came to Canada from Guatemala when she was newly married. “Quinceañera is also a spiritual time, a time of special blessing at the church for life as a woman. Some consecrate their bouquet of flowers to the Virgin Mary, not necessarily to become nuns but to become closer to their faith and to grow in it all their lives whatever they do. Now it is becoming popular for boys to celebrate becoming 15 as well.” The adherents of the Bahá’i faith also see 15 as an age of spiritual maturity. “When both male and female become 15, they are considered spiritual adults and they can confirm their belief in Bahá’u’lláh and are then responsible to God only for the obligatory prayer and fasting,” said Strom. Everyone is welcome to the Interfaith Café. “People off all faith backgrounds or no special spiritual affiliation are welcome to come and learn and talk or just listen. We

Think about adding, instead of giving something up for Lent yme Woensdregt Special to The Morning Star

We are well into the season of Lent. How’s it going for you? Lent is an opportunity for us to journey to the heart of our faith. As we repent we renew our loyalty to God. We examine the way in which we walk in the way of the cross with Jesus. Understood this way, Lent is not so much a season of self-denial as it is a season of renewing our commitment to God’s gospel purposes. The point of Lent is to open ourselves to God’s transforming love in a more intentional way. We seek more deliberately to be renewed by God’s love and the good news of God’s passion for the world. That’s why we “give something up for Lent.” It’s not so much about self-denial as it is about freeing ourselves from those things which distract us from our relationship with God. If it’s only about giving something for the sake of giving it up, we miss the point. When we focus on what we’re giving up, we lose our focus on God, and narrow our gaze to the thing

we are giving up. Julie Clawson writes, “I’ve discovered that for me personally, legalistic denial for the sake of denial often achieves the opposite purpose. Giving up coffee doesn’t make me a better follower of Christ, it just makes me more irritable. Giving up Facebook doesn’t help me build community in the body of Christ; it simply helps me as a detached introverted person creep further into my shell. Those disciplines don’t assist me in emptying myself in order to let God in; they simply fill me with more of me.” I think she’s got it right. In parts of the early church, Lent was a time to prepare for baptism at Easter. If you’d already been baptized, it was a season to consider your baptismal vows and rededicate your life to God. In Lent, we remember that we belong to God. As people who follow God, we week to honour God’s values in the world — to cherish justice, make peace, seek reconciliation, desire wholeness, and live with compassion. That’s part of what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and might. We embody God’s gospel purposes in all we do, living with compassion and hope.

As we seek to live in ways that honour God, we open ourselves to God’s transforming love so that our hearts might be renewed. We learn to listen in a new way for the whisper of God in our lives and in our world. Because we are spiritual beings, it’s important to nourish our spiritual life. God comes to us in countless ways, again and again, whispering a word of life into our lives, nudging us to see things from a new perspective, prodding us towards renewal and transformation. This vital truth is central to all the great religions of the world. All call us to wholeness and holiness. All whisper to us of renewal and hope. So what are you adding for Lent? What do you need to do to help you become more open to God’s transforming love? How can you respond more faithfully as one who walks in the way of Jesus? As we do that, we journey to the heart of our faith, embraced by God’s love, following the one who promises us that as we give ourselves away, we will find our deepest and truest selves. The Rev. Yme Woensdregt is incumbent at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbook.

Art arrives in all its forms at VPAG

The work has been created by kindergarten to Grade 7 students from within the district’s art education curriculum. Paintings, drawings and sculpture will fill three exhibition spaces at the gallery, with contributions from more than 15 elementary schools around Greater Vernon. Attendance during the exhibition is always strong, said Kelly MacIntosh, VPAG marketing and programming coordinator. “Kids create without worry. They are free to interpret their world through the use of visual arts that most adults have difficulty with. Some of the art produced carries great meaning, including story telling or social messages. Others are simply fun, vibrant, and energetic,” said MacIntosh, who remembers one particular painting from last year’s exhibition, titled Crazy Chicken. “It looked exactly as it sounds. It made people smile.” Art from the Heart will be on view Thursday, with an opening reception on Saturday, March 23 from 1 to 3 p.m. The exhibition will be up until April 18. More information on the exhibitions is available at www.vernonpublicartgallery.com.

courses in three-dimensional design, sculpture, graphic design and drawing. Suarez’s work often addresses the issues of the human condition. His drawings show his interest in the possible futuristic modality, while making references to the present and history, said Culen. “Just like his three dimensional miniature landscapes often resemble an urban setting of some science fiction movies like the dystopian Ridley Scott film Blade Runner (1982), Suarez’s drawings are dense in terms of their possible interpretation. “Although as far as the subject matter is concerned, he observes the drawings as having no particular message, but they are an expression of a certain social conditioning.” Suarez’s quantumspaces opens at the VPAG Thursday and runs to May 23. Members and the public are invited to attend the opening reception on Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m., where the artist will be present and open to questions about his work. HHH The Vernon school district’s annual elementary school exhibition, Art from the Heart, is also opening at the VPAG this week.

Gallery opens its doors to master artist Richard Suarez and young students from Vernon school district Morning Star Staff

To some artists, going from a threedimensional art practice to a two-dimensional one, or vice versa, can be a giant leap into the unknown. Not so for Winfield’s Richard Suarez. Over the period of several decades, the former sculpture professor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus has focused primarily on sculpture and drawing, but his practice has also included the research of architectural structures and forms, including industrial design. Suarez is about to show a large body of his drawings and paintings for the first time at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The exhibition, quantumspaces, consists of three bodies of two-dimensional works: mixed media drawings on panels, pen and ink drawings on paper, and a suite of ball point pen drawings on polystyrene. “We are excited to have Richard’s exhibit quantumspaces at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. His background is extensive, everything from architectural design to silversmithing as well as drawing and painting,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, VPAG executive director. “His work has a distinctive and recognizable style, something that can be enjoyed by all audiences because the level of interpretation varies and it is aesthetically pleasing at the same time.” According to Suarez, who recently spoke to the VPAG’s curator, Lubos Culen, about his work, drawing has always been essential for the planning and execution of his sculptural and architectural ideas. His studio contains a sizable collection of numerous modestly-sized drawings on paper. “In our conversation at his studio, he pointed out that he believes that the discipline of drawing makes one aware of spatial awareness in general,” said Culen. “He explains that drawings map out objects in space and set the dynamics of different environments which might be either believable or invented at times. His drawings exemplify his inclination towards architectural structures and spaces often populated by anthro-

He received a bachelor’s degree in design, with a minor in sculpture, from Syracuse University, N.Y. After graduating in 1961, he worked as an exhibition designer at General Motors in Detroit, Mich., while also pursuing graduate studies in sculpture at the Wayne State University. His interest in sculpture and the creative process culminated in his relocation to Montana in 1966, where he taught industrial design and sculpture at Montana State University in Bozeman. He immigrated to Vancouver in 1970 and started teaching courses in sculpture and drawing at the then newly established Capilano College in North Vancouver until 1972. After his stay in Vancouver, Suarez moved to the Mission area of Kelowna, and established himself as a silversmith for several years. He joined the fine arts department at Okanagan University College (now UBCO) in 1977 and taught as a part-time instructor until 1990, when he became a full-time associate professor, retiring in 2003. During his time at UBCO, Suarez taught

Have a look inside

ne of the things I love about working at the Performing Arts Centre is how diverse performance arts are. They keep my work interesting because every show is so very different: One day is ballerinas and pointe shoes, the next day we see cowboy hats and steel guitars, only to round out the week with bagpipes. This diversity brings different audiences through the centre’s Brian van Wensem doors; each performance seeks to emotionally connect with the people there. So come out and enjoy the performances. When the curtain has closed and the house lights come up, take a moment to listen to and share experiences. It’s all part of this never-ending human need to look inside ourselves, and one another, through the arts. This afternoon, the North Okanagan Community Concert Association is presenting Sergei Saratovsky at the Performing Arts Centre. This versatile performer provides a musical tour de force, demonstrating his amazing technical and interpretative ability. Moving effortlessly from elegant technique to big romantic effects, this young Russian-Canadian doctoral student at the University of British Columbia is one of the most engaging rising stars on the Canadian classical music scene. The music starts at 2 p.m. and tickets can still be purchased online at www.ticketseller.ca or at the door within one hour of show time. On Thursday, the B.C. Cadet

Centre Point

Honour Band will visit the Performing Arts Centre with young musicians ranging from 14 to 18 years of age. These 55 top teenage musicians come from the ranks of the Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadets selected from across B.C. The full concert band is complimented by pipes and drums and together they perform popular concert music highlighted by military pomp and ceremony. There is no charge to attend this performance which starts at 7:30 p.m., so plan to arrive a little early to avoid disappointment. This Friday is an evening of nostalgia and fun as likenesses of Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash and Reba McEntire take the Performing Arts Centre stage in Country Gold. They’ve got the look, the sound, the charisma and charm and the impersonators are backed by a live country band for an old fashioned night of music. Showtime is at 8 p.m., and tickets are on sale now through the Ticket Seller at 549-SHOW. And on March 29, Okanagan College is host to the Jo Burt Experience. Born and raised in England in the 1960s, Burt began emulating British guitar legends, many of whom he would eventually perform with on stage and as a session musician — Elton John, Bob Geldof, Freddie Mercury, and Canadian Bryan Adams, just to name a few. This “evergreen rocker” continues to electrify his audience with the mixture of honesty, intensity and humour. The show starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are on sale now through the Ticket Seller by calling 549-SHOW. Enjoy the shows!

British rocker returns with new material Morning Star Staff

Evergreen rocker Jo Burt is becoming a familiar sight in these parts. The former touring bassist for Black Sabbath (1987 to ‘88), as well as guitarist for famed British artists such as the late Freddie Mercury, The Troggs, Bob Geldof, Sweet and many others, is returning to B.C. after performing a number of dates here last summer. Known to play southern-style rock with an English accent, Burt is bringing his band, The Jo Burt Experience, to Western Canada for a quick two-week spring tour before heading back to the U.K. to finish up work on his most recent album. North Okanagan dates include the Okanagan College Vernon campus lecture theatre March 29, and Lorenzo’s Café in Ashton Creek March 30. “I am absolutely buzzing with the reaction we have been getting this summer,” said Burt during his appearances here last year. “Everyone seems to love the new material combined with some old favourites that we throw in. The band is really tight and everyone is on top form. “I can’t wait to return to Canada... It’s gonna rock!” Burt’s recent album of new songs is being recorded by Chris

Kimsey (Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Peter Frampton, INXS) at the famed Olympic Studios in London, and is poised to offer an exciting compilation of new tunes with many high profile guests. Audiences can expect to hear some of those songs as Burt premieres the new material on his spring tour, which ends April 6 with a performance at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Upon completion of the new disc, Burt and the band will be returning to Western Canada for festival and club dates throughout July and August before returning to perform in the U.K. and Europe. Joining Burt in his Experience is guitarist Dzal Martin, who has played with The Equals, Terry Reid, Tom Robinson, Van Morrison, Meatloaf, Box of Frogs, among others. Burt’s two female backup singers, Kathy and Antonia, will also be performing along with B.C. musicians Barry Lamb on bass, guitarist Paul May, and Vernon’s own Dan Oldfield on drums. Tickets for the show at the Vernon campus of Okanagan College are $20, available at the Ticket Seller, 549-7469, www.ticketseller.ca. Cover for the Lorenzo’s show is $15. Call 250-838-6700 for reservations.

Press holds second award named after Lent Morning Star Staff

Canadian writers in the early stage of their career are being invited to submit their work for the Kalamalka Press second annual John Lent Poetry-Prose Award. “We’re looking for chapbook-length works of poetry, short fictions or John Lent hybrids thereof,” said contest coordinator Kevin McPherson, who is editor-in-chief of Kalamalka Press and an English professor at Okanagan College. Named after Lent, a Vernon-based novelist and poet, co-founder of Kalamalka

Press and retired English professor/ regional dean at Okanagan College, the award is open to early-stage writers who have not published more than two fulllength books. “We especially want to encourage poets and fictioneers to be playful and riskful from the get-go of their careers,” said McPherson. Last year, the inaugural award went to Winnipeg writer Ariel Gordon, who was the 2010 recipient of the John Hirsch Award for most promising Manitoba writer. Her submission, How to Make a Collage, was selected from 36 manuscripts. Since its establishment in the mid1980s, Kalamalka Press has been committed to working with young and emerging Canadian writers, including now well-known writer Karen Connelly who

SUSAN CARRIE National Poison Prevention Week in Canada is March 17 to 23. It is a good time to check your home to see how you store dangerous chemicals and cleaning solutions. Look at your medication storage too. Ensure all these products are kept out of reach of children and educate your older children about the signs of poisoning and have them help you keep younger children safe. In Canada, 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. Many women aren’t aware about emergency contraception options. These are available from your pharmacist who can explain how to use them. If used within 24 hours of unprotected sex, these products can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 95%. Speaking of pregnancy, it is well know that women who plan to get pregnant should start taking a supplement containing folic acid (at least 0.4mg daily). This product will prevent neural tube defects in the brain and spinal cord. It has been suggested that all sexually active women take folic acid in case of an unplanned pregnancy. Some eye drops have to be shaken before each use to get the proper dose. Pull the lower eye lid down to form a small pouch in which to put the drop. After instilling the drop, gently close the eyes for 30 seconds while pressing the bridge of the nose so the drop doesn’t move out of the eye through the tear duct. Our pharmacists would like you to get the most from your medications. Talk to us. Have Your Prescriptions Filled With Us

On March 24, choral music lovers will be treated to a rare concert performed by the Chorealis Vocal Ensemble. Selections for this concert will include madrigals and sacred music from the 16th century, music by Debussy, Saint-Saëns and Bruckner from the 19th century as well as pop and jazz favourites from the 20th century. The 12-voice, SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) a cappella group usually only appears at senior residences, Hospice House, or Kelowna’s Cascade of Choirs, so this is a rare chance to hear the group in a public performance, said Chorealis member Frank van Thienen. Formed in the spring of 2008, the group is based and rehearses year round in Vernon with members hailing from Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Lumby, Kelowna and Vernon. “Chorealis is comprised of five men and seven women and is unique in that it has no direc-

The Chorealis Vocal Ensemble performs its concert Chorealis Sings... at All Saints Anglican Church in Vernon March 24. tor. Song choices and conducting all come from within the ensemble,” said van Thienen. The initial goal of Chorealis was to focus on early music, with composers such as Tallis, Byrd, de Victoria and Palestrina. However, the group has succumbed to the charms of newer

music and enjoys exploring such diverse composers as Billy Joel, Debussy and local composer Imant Raminsh, said van Thienen, adding, “More recently, some stirring arrangements of folk songs have been added to our growing repertoire.” The Chorealis Vocal

Ensemble performs its concert Chorealis Sings... at All Saints Anglican Church, 3205-27th St., Vernon at 7 p.m. Sunday, March 24. Tickets are $12 and are available at the door. For more information, call 250-545-3731 or visit www. chorealis.ca.

Tribes relishes restaurant connection Graeme Corbett Business Editor

Klaus Tribes is finding some habits die hard. The vibrant 73-year-old sometimes catches himself driving towards 30th Avenue from his East Hill home when he is supposed to be running errands elsewhere. After nearly 40 years as owner of KT’s Heritage Restaurant, it’s an honest mistake. Tribes has dedicated more than half of his life to the establishment, which he sold recently, and it has provided him with some remarkable memories. Tribes acquired the restaurant, originally a Boston Pizza franchise, “in a weaker moment” in the mid-1970s. He was a member of the Edmonton police force at the time. It turns out his academy training, not to mention an imposing stature, would come in handy during the late-night bar rush. “Every Friday and Saturday, there’d be a fight in here with somebody,” he chuckled. “Back then, I used to say ‘It’s good exercise.’ “Ten minutes before 2 a.m., there’s hardly anybody in here. Ten minutes after, there’s 30 people waiting to get in. It used to be packed.” Tribes ended his partnership with Boston Pizza in 1994, and renamed the restaurant KT’s. Over the years, he has achieved some impressive marketing coups. Tribes recalls inviting the B.C. Lions to the restaurant as they toured the province after winning the Grey Cup in 1985. There was one slight hiccup: “The Grey Cup didn’t arrive until the next day and the Lions had moved on,” grinned Tribes. The foible worked out in his favour as the Cup’s late arrival ensured him a full restau-

The highlight came when It was amazing.” Tribes invited Tom (Big Tom) Buchanan, a Tribes ended up winning the marketer of popular competitor from the show’s third the year from the Greater Vernon Chamber season, to KT’s as a promotional stunt. of Commerce for that one.

“Restaurant work is not a job; it’s a way of life.”

A former president and director of Downtown Vernon Association, and city councillor for 18 years, Tribes has been a huge advocate for the community. He is also a long-time supporter of Vernon minor hockey. He helped spearhead the downtown revitalization project in the late 1970s. “You need to always improve the place you work at. The downtown is really our front yard,” he said. “We were one of the first towns in the province to revitalize. It was important. In those days, the malls were killing downtowns.” Tribes’ family immigrated to Canada in 1957. Stuck in East Germany after the second world war, they escaped through the Berlin Wall in 1949. “Things just weren’t going well (in West Germany),” said Tribes. “I thank my dad (Willy) many times in my thoughts that he had the courage to come over here. He couldn’t speak a word of English.” The life of a restaurant owner is not an easy one, and Tribes sometimes wonders whether leaving the police force was the right decision. “It gave me a living. Restaurant work is not a job; it’s a way of life. You’re in it 24 hours a day,” said Tribes, who has two sons – Trevor, a Mountie, and Ian – with wife Pat. However, without KT’s, he wouldn’t have forged the relationships and fond memories he has today. “It was fun to serve them, it was fun to look after them. I know couples who have met here in the restaurant, got married and brought their kids in with them. “I saw all that, and that is heartwarming. That makes it all worthwhile, all these wonderful people I’ve met here over the years.”

Vernon entrepreneurs thrive at Startup Weekend Morning Star Staff

After a no-show in the first year, there was a large Vernon presence at the second annual Startup Weekend Okanagan in Kelowna. Bringing their enthusiasm and talents to Kelowna were developers Marco Ariano, Bettina Berger, Kyle Newton, Linda Mork and Lorinda Jackson, along with designer/developer Jason Peters, showing off their coding and design skills. Entrepreneurs Teresa Deak and Hunter Le Blanc demonstrated their talents for innovation and strategy. While there were no Vernon members among Startup Weekend’s winning team – awarded to the project planning app, Arkitektor – Jackson, Berger and Le Blanc were runnersup for their part in the parking spot finder app, Coo Coo. Newton and Peters helped develop Chef Shuffle, winner of the Biggest Social Impact award, and Ariano was a member

of the team that produced Shift Line, an app that earned the attention of enterprise organizations. Deak and Mork were on the team that created Fresh Okanagan, an app that received more than 100 likes on Facebook on launch day. Vernon team members came away with a lot of knowledge and connections, as well as an understanding of what it takes to get a tech startup going. “The thought of starting a business can seem really daunting,” said Le Blanc. “The weekend has made me realize starting a business is a lot more realistic than I once thought. “Most of all, I met some great people and I really look forward to keeping in contact with them.” Added Newton: “The Startup Weekend Okanagan team really knows how to host an event. I got to learn some new tricks from my peers with so win or lose, I couldn’t possibly

go away empty- handed.” All Startup Weekend events follow the same basic model – anyone is welcome to pitch their business startup idea and receive feedback from their peers. There were more than 40 pitches last weekend, and once the top ideas are determined by popular vote, it becomes a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing and market validation. The City Of Vernon supported locals in the event by donating the cost of two Kelowna hotel rooms. The UPS Store/Bold Media donated the admission cost for the eight Vernon participants. “We see technology and entrepreneurship as two key growth areas that will help diversify and grow Vernon’s economy,” said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development officer.

Business Village Cheese makes the cut Morning Star Staff

Lakers stun competition Morning Star Staff

The Kalamalka Lakers were greeted politely, but soon dismissed as newcomers by teams from schools that had been participating for 15 years at the annual Junior Achievement B.C. Business Challenge. It made their second-place finish all the more stunning as they rocked the business simulation competition in Vancouver. And in true underdog fashion, the Lakers employed a come-from-behind strategy, vaulting up the rankings in final quarters. “Heads were turning to see who the Lakers were when our share values started to rise,” said Chris Leverman, who competed with fellow Kal students Brendan Ryan-Lewis, Sam Braun, Austin Stanley, Andrew Farmer and Mordachai Borkowski. The Lakers, who already has success from previous competitions, had a secret weapon in coach Patti Farmer, CEO of The McMurray Group, the local operators of 16 A&W restaurants throughout B.C. They also received pointers from VSS business teacher Susan Egan, who had guided numerous Panther teams in the competition. Leverman attributes their success to strong teamwork and staying calm in high-pressure situations, adding that “being underestimated by other teams worked in our favour.” Kal pocketed $300 and an impressive plaque for their efforts.

Teams from across the province, from both public and private schools, compete in the JA Challenge. The goal is to manage a virtual company, bringing a futuristic product (a miniature audio player capable of generating holographic images) to market. Teams invest in manufacturing plants, engage in cutthroat price wars, compete for consumer dollars with advertising, and develop trendy new features. They had to work against the clock to make their business decisions, and deal with changing market conditions, including credit crunches, hurricanes destroying their plants and currency swings. The Lakers navigated their company through these storms through 18 quarters, representing five years of business, all in one action-packed day. Said Patti Farmer: “This is a tremendous achievement, and I really can’t say enough about the event and the opportunity it afforded the boys. “This competition is great exposure to the world of business. They were treated to some excellent keynote speakers and had an opportunity to network with students from around the province.” The Challenge is sponsored by the Institute of Chartered Accountants and Certified Management Accountants of B.C., Telus, B.C. Hydro, Deloitte, Colliers International, MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates and West Vancouver Community Foundation.

And the winner is...

ingfisher Boats was awarded with top honours as Business of the Year at the annual Vernon Business Excellence Awards. The Business of the Year award is sponsored every year by BDC (Business Development Bank of Canada) and presented this year by Tony Zuschtok, manager of Major Accounts. Judges noted that Kingfisher’s bid submission was very well presented and clearly showed how they had made some very strategic changes by penetrating new overseas markets and George Duffy doing a rebrand from their old name, Harbercraft. The Business Excellence Awards are similar to the Academy Awards in that they are not a popularity contests. Businesses are nominated by the public, but judged and awarded by a panel of business peers. All nominated businesses are invited to submit entries with details to present their best cases. The information is kept completely confidential to protect proprietary information and only reviewed by the judging panel. The panel is made

Chamber News

up of experienced, but non-competing, members of the Vernon business community. They are not made up of chamber of commerce staff or directors to ensure the results are fair and unbiased. The Greater Vernon chamber organizes and promotes the event on an annual basis to celebrate the contribution businesses make to the region, but the effects span the full calendar year. The top three nominees and winners in each category may use the award logo in publicity and advertising. Each one also gets a video made that is shown live at the gala evening. The videos are also all loaded on the Vernon Chamber website and YouTube channel (www. youtube.com/greatervernonchamber) and stay there indefinitely. Congratulations go out to the full slate of winners and they can be found in the full-page colour display ad on page A32 of this paper. The chamber would also like to thank each of the 120-plus businesses and individuals that generously donated prizes, sponsorships and in-kind contributions that made this event possible. It goes to prove we have a very vibrant and supportive business community. George Duffy is the general manager of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce.

Armstrong’s Village Cheese is a finalist at the eighth annual Canadian Cheese Grand Prix in Montreal. Village Cheese’s Smokehouse Cheddar was recognized in the Flavoured Cheese with added non-particulate flavourings category. The contest received a record number of entries, with 225 cheeses in 19 categories submitted.

A panel of top Canadian food industry experts will determine the winners. The Grand Prix is hosted every two years by Dairy Farmers of Canada. “Canadian cheese makers from coast-tocoast are producing top quality, impressive cheeses,” said Phil Bélanger, jury chairman. Category champions and the grand champi-

on will be unveiled at a gala event at Montreal’s Hyatt Regency Hotel on April 18.

At the edge of the world karoline cullen Special To The Morning Star

NOVA SCOTIA - “Why do you want to go there?” The ranger asks. “It looks like a bigger town, where we might find a place to stay tonight.” I reply. She glances at my map and with a shake of her head, says “No, you don’t want to go there.” Gary and I are at the visitor centre of the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. We’d whiled away the afternoon here, learning about the Coal Age. Lush forests covered Joggins 300 million years ago and over time, the swamp forests deposited massive quantities of organic matter that eventually become coal. The fossils contained in the exposed layers of the more than thirty meter high cliff faces fronting the bay are the world’s most complete record of life from that time. It was here that Sir William Dawson discovered a fossil of the first true reptile, hylonomus lyelli, the tiny ancestor of all dinosaurs that would rule the earth 100 million years later and unique to Joggins. At the base of the grey and rusty brown cliffs, we searched for fossils and even found a few. Dallying longer was tempting but we need to find a place for the night. Hence the conversation over our map with the ranger. She exclaims, “You want to go to Cap d’Or! You’ll feel like you’re at the edge of the world. It’s an old light keeper’s cottage. And there’s a restaurant.

A visitor looks for fossils at Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Bay of Fundy. I’ll phone for you!” Her enthusiasm is infectious and before we know it, we have a reservation, directions and about forty-five minutes of driving ahead of us. On the narrow, gravel road leading to the Cap, we hope a moose will not saunter out of the darkening woods. “This place could be really fun,” I muse. Or not. But it is so late in the day that we won’t be going anywhere else tonight. We finally come to a small parking lot. The steep, boulder strewn dirt road winding down the cliff side looks too forbidding for our rental, so we start walking. Rounding a corner, we are relieved to see the red roof and white siding of the light station basking in the last of the day’s sunshine. Cap D’Or or Cape of Gold was named by French explor-

er Samuel de Champlain in 1607. The golden glimmers he noticed in the basalt cliffs turned out to be from copper instead of gold but the name stayed. We enter the Lightkeeper’s Kitchen and inn keeper Darcy asks, “You’re the Cullens? I’ll get your dinner started.” Nice to be expected. Meanwhile, Darcy’s mom shows us our room and kindly drives us up the hill in her four-wheel drive to get our night things. By the time we have bumped back down the track, our dinner is ready. The room glows golden with the setting sunlight pouring in all the windows. My Caesar salad is crispy and the pasta with scallops is a stellar main. Before indulging in dessert, Darcy sends us outside to indulge in a Cap D’or ritual,

watching the sunset. Not a speck of civilization is in view from the chair on a windy perch in a cliff side hollow. The air is crisp and clean, with just a tang of salt. Looking one way, the cliffs rise vertically in a grey mass right from the beach and are topped with a ruffled green crown of trees. Looking the other, the light station looks small against the wide waters of the Bay of Fundy. The isolation is delicious. The first navigational aid here was a steam fog whistle, established in 1874. The present lighthouse, with its fog signal and light tower, was built in 1965. After automation in 1989, the keeper’s dwellings sat empty until they were converted into a tea room and hostel. This is the only lighthouse in Nova Scotia to offer overnight accommodation. The light keeper’s cottage is creaking rather atmospherically with the wind. We meet a German family in the common room. Over cups of tea, we hear about their days spent happily hiking nearby trails. Before bed, we step outside to see the night sky. The light beacon slices through the darkness with a steady rhythm. Luckily, there is no fog to trigger the fog horn. The stars are just starting to stud the soft blue sky and it is silent save for the sound of waves. The ranger was right; we do feel like we are at the edge of the world. Karoline Cullen is with Travel Writers’ Tales, a travel article syndicate.

Eleanor Sarah Down

Both Eleanor and Harold were nurses, as well as hairdresser and barber. They started out their business careers in Summerland where, along with Harold͛s brothers, they operated a hotel, hairdressing salon, barbershop and restaurant. hpon their move to Vernon, Harold worked at what was then known as Delview and Eleanor at VJH. It was during this Ɵme that Dr. Alexander asked Eleanor to take in what would be the Įrst of many elderly residents. In 1954 she bought her Įrst hair salon. During the mid 1950͛s their number of residents grew necessitaƟng a move to a larger facility, now the Music School on Schubert Ave. In the late 1950͛s, they moved to an even larger residence (Green Gables Rest Home) on 43rd Ave. to provide care to an ever growing number of elderly paƟents. Down͛s Residence, as it is now known, has provided residenƟal psychiatric services since 1972. In 1962 they opened up Sandy Beach Tent and Trailer Court adjacent to Kin Beach. The majority of the trees that stand there today were planted by them. They also operated a riding stable, the Double D. Faith in Christ was an integral part of her life. She encouraged those with whom she came in contact to use “mustard seed faith”. All things are possible with God was her admoniƟon. She was instrumental with the establishment of the Vernon ChrisƟan School. She was a most generous individual with both her Ɵme and resources. She was deeply appreciated as a mentor who encouraged those within her sphere of inŇuence to aim high and dream big. She embraced change and was not afraid to embark into uncharted territory with ambiƟous enthusiasm. She was remarkable in her ability to relate to all age groups. She possessed a precocious endearing sense of humour enjoyed by all who crossed her path. She parƟcipated in many local and provincial organiǌaƟons. When she had an agenda to accomplish she was a dynamo that didn͛t stop unƟl she saw her idea come to fruiƟon. She sat on the local and provincial Kld Age Pensioners which she used as a plaƞorm to champion aīordable senior housing. Because of her persistence, McCullough Court was built. She loved Vernon and its Winter Carnival. She always armed herself with tourist brochures for the Kkanagan whenever and whenever she traveled. In the early days of our bus service in Vernon, she supported the owner by using the service to send some of her residents to a new enterprise ... the recycling centre. She had a giŌ for fundraising. She loved a parade and creaƟvely decorated many Ňoats over the years for various organiǌaƟons. She was well known for her involvement in Canada Day and the FuntasƟc Tournament. In honour of her signiĮcant community involvement, she received the 1979 “Good CiƟǌen Award”. Kur deepest appreciaƟon is extended to zvonne Kahgee, whose compassionate care and companionship allowed Mom to achieve her goal of living independently in her beloved apartment during the last few years. We also express hearƞelt thanks to Dr. Ken Perrier for his aƩenƟveness to her medical needs. Thanks also to the caring dedicated staī of 2 West who assisted us through this diĸcult journey. She leaves to follow in her footsteps: Harold (Chub) Down, his children Greg (Laurelle) Emily ͬ Hailey, Tim (Val) Gabrielle ͬ Abigail͖ Naomi (Down) Friesen, her children Richard Down (Kim) Nic ͬ Elyse ͬ Sophie, Larissa Pahl (Michael) Amelia ͬ Michael ͬ MaƩhew ͬ Adalynne, DusƟn (Tia) Down͖ Dixie BenneƩ (Wayne), their children Chad (Jessica) Blayke, Darren͖ Chris Down. She has been reunited with her husband, Harold and two sons, Daryl and Rick. A celebraƟon of her life will be held at 11am on Friday, March 22, 2013 at the Vernon Alliance Church oĸciated by Pastor Ian Trigg. In lieu of Ňowers donaƟons can be made to Eagle Bay Camp, Fairhaven Ministries or the charity of your choice. Arrangements are being handled by Bethel Funeral Chapel.

NAUMENKO, Peter

Saturday evening, March 2, 2013 we sadly lost our greatest cheerleader and mentor, aīecƟonately known to many as “Downs”, as she passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It would be impossible to share all of her 98 years of life in a small space ... the task would be too daunƟng. Suĸce to say, she was a mulƟ-faceted individual who through hard work and sacriĮce leŌ us a great example to follow. A survivor of the Great Depression, she knew the value of a penny. From humble beginnings, by sheer grit and determinaƟon Eleanor and her husband, Harold built a legacy that will not be forgoƩen.

Peter Naumenko passed away peacefully on March 7, 2013. He was 86 years old. He was born in 1927 in Blaine Lake, SK. He could always Įnd the people who came from Saskatchewan and loved to Įnd out from which part they came. He lost most of his hearing as a young child and that was a great frustraƟon all of his life. He grew up on a farm and farmed for many years, Įrst in Saskatchewan and then in Alberta. When his fatherͲinͲlaw wished to reƟre from Kkanagan Church Supplies and Health Foods, he became a businessman in Vernon, B.C. He learned many things about the health food business. There he proved himself to be good at carpentry, remodelling the store. He was a hard-working man. AŌer he reƟred, he volunteered at friends͛ auto shops, doing a bit of mechanical work and some janitorial. He also helped his son-in-law by painƟng hundreds of boards for his son-inlaw and daughter͛s new home. Many a Ɵme, he spent shovelling snow for others. He loved babies - spending many hours with his brother͛s daughters and then his grandchildren. With his grandchildren, he would pat and rock them to sleep and then would doǌe oī himself. There are many pictures of him in that situaƟon. /n the last years of his life, he had many physical problems but the health care workers all found him to be “such a sweet man”. Thank you to each and every one of them for taking such good care of him! Peter will be sorely missed by his wife, Esther, his son-in-law and daughter, Mal and Leta, his son and daughter-in-law, Cy and Sue, his grandchildren, yander, /saac, Viv Θ aǆ, and his son and daughter-in-law, /an and Bea. Peter did not want a service, so his family and those who knew him at Silver Springs Residence had an informal memorial on March 9th. Be goody dad!
