Water rates could climb

SCHOOL SPIRIT

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Grade 11 student Jen Polson gets a piggy back ride from teacher Amanda MacKay as Grade 10 student Katrina Pleasance tumbles off the back of her friend Friday at the W.L. Seaton spirit week assembly.

Greater Vernon residents could be paying more every time they turn on the tap.

Some officials have speculated there could be a minimum rate increase of 12.3 per cent for domestic water users but a final figure hasn’t been determined yet.

“This week, we can look at where it’s coming from and how it will be distributed,” said director Mike Macnabb of the split between domestic, agricultural, commercial and industrial customers.

Mike Macnabb As part of the 2014 utility budget, current and expected future capital projects require about $4 million in new funding. It’s proposed that $2.6 million will come from rate increases and $1.4 million will be drawn from reserves.

Greater Vernon Water’s total budget for 2014 (for operations, capital and debt) is proposed to be $22.5 million, down from $24.6 million in 2013.

However, a challenge for budgeting is reduced consumption as residents embrace conservation.

“There are a lot less people in the top tiers and the people in those tiers are using less,” said David Sewell, Regional District of North Okanagan finance general manager.

The projected revenue shortfall over the last three years was $3.2 million relative to budget expectations.

“From a conservation standpoint, it’s terrific news, but from a financial perspective, it’s terrible news,” said Sewell.

“People are choosing xeriscaping or they’re not irrigating. We have seen significant shifts in consumption.”

Of the projects planned for 2014, $400,000 is for the master water plan, including $700,000 to design the Lavington separation system, $100,000 for pre-design for a Goose Lake supply from Okanagan Lake and $30,000 for a peer review of Duteau Creek filtration.

Other proposed capital projects are $35,000 to replace sludge mixers, $980,000 for pipe replacement on Pleasant Valley Road (from 41st to 46th avenues) and $2.1 million for improvements to the Headgates dam.

“We want to fix our spillways and improve our dams.

That enhancement is not funded in our current rate structure,” said Sewell.

Macnabb believes it’s time to put some pressure on senior government as a way of easing pressure on ratepayers.

“We have to put an argument forward for infrastructure (grants),” he said.

Greater Vernon Advisory Committee members will meet Thursday to discuss rates.

Safety concerns are being addressed in one Vernon neighbourhood.

Council has given the nod, in principle, to improvements to a trail between 25th and 19th avenues next to the sewer treatment plant.

“This trail connects a substantially sized community to amenities,” said Coun.

Catherine Lord of nearby grocery stores, restaurants and banks.

A 50-name petition was presented to the city last August demanding improveCatherine Lord ments to the path and specifically lighting.

Staff had recommended that no improvements to the path be considered until an audit of all paths and connectors in Vernon and integration of the audit into the sustainable infrastructure investment plan.

“As there are a variety of facilities in the city, it is important to quantify the primary purpose of each facility in order to justify the benefit of the proposed improvements to that specific facility and the funding source for the work,” states a staff report.

A study could take a year to complete and that recommendation did not go over well with most of council.

“We need to look at this trail in a different light than trails for recreation,” said Coun. Juliette Cunningham of the role it plays in linking residents to services.

Lord points out that one light on the trail was originally sought and staff first made the case for six lights and now a study is being sought.

“Can’t we be a little more logical and have common sense? We don’t need a city-wide study,” she said.

“There are some real concerns in this one area.”

The only opposition to proceeding with the project came from Mayor Rob Sawatzky, who says that the work cannot be done in isolation from other demands facing the city.

“It’s not good government that the loudest gets the service,” he said, adding that a variety of background information is needed before agreeing to an expenditure.

Water filtration plan under review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A contentious water project will be scrutinized.

The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is proposing to spend $30,000 for a peer review on filtration for the Duteau Creek water treatment plant.

“An outside consulZee Marcolin tant who has never seen the project will take a good hard look at it,” said Zee Marcolin, Greater Vernon Water manager.

Filtration would cost $26.5 million and some politicians have stated the technology is being mandated by the Interior Health Authority more to cover IHA’s liability than to do address public health.

“How reasonable is it for them to expect us to get to this level at this expense?” said director Bob Fleming.

Dale McTaggart, Regional District of North Okanagan engineering general manager, insists more details are needed before proceeding with filtration.

“We want to make sure we’re doing things the best way with the technology currently available,” he said.

Director Gyula Kiss has raised several

concerns about filtration.

“Duteau Creek, during the summer, provides high quality water and 90 per cent of it goes on to crops,” he said.

“It makes no sense to pay out big money and crops are getting better quality water than the people in Vernon (who largely use Kalamalka Lake water).”

While filtration will undergo a review, it’s not certain if a similar process will occur for the overall master water plan and its $70 million cost.

“If it’s not put in the budget, it won’t be done,” said director Maria Besso, who wants the full master water plan investigated further.

ADVENTURE BAY Lake View Lots $185,000 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

There’s lots of snow in the hills.

Duteau Creek readings show the water content of the snow is 110 per cent of average for this time of year, while snow depth is 113 per cent of average.

“Greater Vernon Water also measures water storage in the Duteau Creek reservoirs,” said Emma Posluns, water sustainability co-ordinator.

“As of Feb. 3, the stored water volume is above average.”

According to the B.C. River Forecast Centre, February snowpack levels are at 88 per cent of normal for the Okanagan-Kettle basin, which includes the Kalamalka Lake water source.

The South Thompson basin, which includes the Duteau Creek reservoirs, was recorded at 96 per cent of normal.

“Although the readings gathered by GVW staff are slightly above the B.C. River Forecast Centre, the combined readings show a close to average year for snow levels,” said Posluns.

“The centre also predicts near normal stream runoff in the Okanagan, and normal temperatures and precipitation for spring and summer. GVW will continue to monitor climate trends and water supplies.”

Project brings teams together Morning Star Staff

North Okanagan sports groups are taking a team approach.

A regional sports data base has been developed by the Ministry of Social Development, Community Futures and the North Okanagan Sports Society.

“This is the first important step in making the mission of our sports society a reality,” said Akbal Mund, society president.

Information will be organized and available from the region’s sporting groups, businesses centered on sport, not-for-profit agencies that enhance sport, facilities information and other data that will enhance the region’s ability to attract tournaments.

With the assistance of Community Futures, a position has been created to allow for the data collection project.

“Working closely with the sports society, Leah Crampton is in charge of collecting and organizing all the information,” said Norm Metcalf, of Community Futures.

“She has been contacting all the different sporting groups asking them to complete the survey questionnaire and is getting a positive response from the sporting community.”

From pickle ball and swimming to soccer, equestrian and everything in between, Crampton and the society look forward to hearing from all sporting groups.

Surveys are being distributed to sport organizations throughout the North Okanagan.

For more information, contact Leah Crampton at leahc@futuresbc.com.

It is hard to say to no to Marvin the Collector.

Vernon’s Marvin Zwarych recently gathered $7,500 in pledges for the B.C. Bowl For Kids – Variety Children’s Charity, part of $61,000 raised by bowlers in the province.

Zwarych, 79, was the No. 1 bowler collector in B.C. “I was really surprised to reach that mark but very happy,” said the retired cabinet maker.

Zwarych reached the $7,500 Marvin Zwarych mark at the place he spends Tuesdays bowling and sparing for a Thursday night league – Lincoln Lanes.

He was there on a Tuesday night, ready for league play, when Lincoln Lanes owner Gord Wiffen asked him how the pledges were going.

Zwarych told Wiffen he was $99 short of $7,500, so Wiffen offered him $100.

“I said I wanted $99 to make an even $7,500,” laughed Zwarych, who is supported in his pledge collecting endeavour wholeheartedly by his wife, Lori. “Gord gave me the $99.”

Since he started collecting for B.C. Bowl For Kids 10 years ago, Zwarych has raised more than $43,000.

“This campaign is an awesome opportunity to increase awareness and demonstrate what we as Paralympic athletes are capable of,” said Arendz. “I’m so proud to be a part of this project and I hope it will inspire Canadians to follow Team Canada and cheer for us when we compete in Sochi next month.”

Campaign elements can be viewed and shared on the Paralympic.ca website, YouTube Channel, Twitter and Facebook.

Canada will compete in all six sports on the program: para-snow-

Fourteen featured athletes in the “What’s There” print campaign include Dueck, Gaudet, Forrest, para-snowboarders Michelle Salt (Calgary) and Tyler Mosher (Whistler); sledge hockey players Dominic Larocque (Quebec City) and Tyler McGregor (Forest, Ont.); para-alpine skier Kimberly Joines (Rossland); para-nordic skiers Mark Arendz (Hartsville, P.E.I.), Brian McKeever (Canmore, Alta.) and guide Erik Carleton (Canmore, Alta.); and the rest of Team Canada’s wheelchair curling team: Jim Armstrong (Cambridge, Ont.), Dennis Thiessen (Sanford, Man.) and

Irrigation harvests new fee roger knox Morning Star Staff

A proposed spray irrigation agreement between the City of Armstrong and close to a dozen farmers contains a new user fee.

The city provides reclaimed wastewater to lands for spray irrigation purposes, while the farmer agrees to accept the Kelly Rowe wastewater and use it on their land.

The proposed five-year deal calls for the implementation of a $0.01/m3 charge for the water itself.

“The total amount projected to be raised with the fee is in the neighbourhood of $6,600,” said Coun.

Kelly Rowe, chairperson of the city’s public works committee. “The costs to run this section of service range between $37,000 and $42,500,

including groundwater and soil testing costs of $14,180 in 2012.”

In a report to council, administrator Patti Ferguson explained that farmers now pay for hydro costs to pump and they have to have their own equipment.

The service is provided by the city and such agreements have changed over the years.

“The benefits to the community and the farmers are compounded in the benefits to the environment of returning the reclaimed water back to crop production instead of putting it into streams and lakes,” said Ferguson.

The proposed draft, unanimously accepted by council, was reviewed with the farmers who have agreements with the city. Their feedback was included in the report.

Farmers whose agreements are not being renewed will be asked by the city to keep their lands and allotments in the database, and to include them in future planning.

Mark Ideson (London, Ont.).

“When we look at Paralympic athletes, we can make the mistake of focusing on their disabilities, instead of their extraordinary abilities,” said Simon Craig and JP Gravina, associate creative director for BBDO Toronto. “This campaign forces the viewer to see all the amazing things that make these Paralympic athletes great. To catch them in the midst of competition is an awe-inspiring experience by any definition.”

The line, “It’s not what’s missing, it’s what’s there” describes the need to look past physical differences to concentrate instead on the hard work and raw talent that these dedicated athletes bring to their sport.

With a goal of placing in the top three nations in the gold medal count, Canada will send approximately 50 athletes to compete in sledge hockey, wheelchair curling, paranordic skiing, biathlon, para-alpine skiing and para-snowboard.

Go, Canada, go

ometimes you forget the power of the Olympics, after all they only come around every four years, but despite all the hype and controversy and money and just plain bs, they can captivate like no other sporting event.

Actually to call it a sporting event is a bit like calling the Super Bowl a football game. It’s just a little bigger than that, and internationally anyway, the Super Bowl is comparatively a blip on the radar for most residents of this planet.

And unlike the NFL championship, at least this year, the Olympics usually comes through Glenn Mitchell on several occasions with thrilling moments and touching stories.

I mean already there’s the mogul-skiing sisters from Quebec (how cute are they, I’m pretty sure you might be seeing them on a commercial coming to your screen soon), the Canadian cross-country ski coach helping the Russian skier get to the finish line by rescuing him from a broken ski, the sudden departure of the Russian figure skating champion, the American figure skater who fell hard, and kept on going, the Canadian speed skater who sacrificed his spot for a fellow teammate who went on to win silver........

The stories go on and on and once it finally comes down to the competitors is when the Olympics truly shine, and we’re just getting going with the men’s hockey competition. Go, Canada, go.

There’s a perception about the Winter Games that they have second billing to the Summer Games, and I understand that. After all the southern hemisphere isn’t that involved with all things snow, thus they may have trouble connecting with lugers and biathletes and short-track speed skaters.

However, this is Canada, and we care.

Almost too much, but hey it’s part of who we

MITCHELL’S MUSINGS

are, like beer and maple syrup.

Certainly the skiers and skaters have gotten us off to a great start and there’s nothing like seeing the maple leaf rise as the strings of O Canada play in the night air thousands of miles away in front of a worldwide audience, well northern half anyway.

And locally we still have Kevin Hill, snowboard cross, and Justin Dorey, halfpipe skiing, to cheer for this week. Go guys go.

Sometimes I even catch myself watching events on TV that I wouldn’t think I would have the remotest interest in.

Often at bed time I’ll flick around the four or five channels that carry Olympic coverage (how did we ever get by when it was only one I don’t know?) and, of course, thanks to the time change that’s when venues are live so it adds to the interest greatly when you don’t already know what’s going to happen (or haven’t heard somehow, I already spoiled one Canada hockey game for a fellow worker by commenting on it not knowing he was PVRing it at home, hoping to avoid any talk of the outcome, oops).

So there I am flicking the channels trying to decide between curling and cross-country skiing, thinking maybe I should just go to sleep, when the attire of the Norwegian men’s curling team catches my eye.

I suddenly remember these colourful fellows from Vancouver four years ago and I begin watching their game with Germany, which is tied in the ninth end, and I’m wide awake.

Now, personally I didn’t have much at stake in the game, although my grandma was a proud Norwegian so I guess I was kind of cheering for the Scandinavians but it was just more interesting watching these rinks passionately battle back and forth, yelling instructions in languages very foreign to me, in a game that’s very Canadian.

It was cool.

And before I knew it I ended up staying up until midnight to see how it turned out.

Norway won.

And we still have another week to go. Enjoy.

It appears that Greater Vernon residents are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Residents have accepted the challenge to conserve water put forward by Greater Vernon Water and the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Such a move is good for the environment, particularly in an arid environment such as ours. Turning off the taps also means lower water bills.

However, that’s the challenge.

With residents consuming less water, Greater Vernon Water is experiencing a reduction in revenue and that makes budgeting extremely difficult.

The projected revenue shortfall over the last three years was $3.2 million.

“From a conservation standpoint, it’s terrific news, but from a financial perspective, it’s terrible news,” said David Sewell, finance general manager.

And unlike businesses, the regional district can’t just cut back on spending when there is less money flowing in.

Treatment of water is expensive and it must be constantly tested to meet the provincial quality guidelines. Of course, there is also a need to maintain infrastructure and put aside reserves for big ticket items like dams and spillways.

Considerable effort is also going into a master water plan which is being dictated by the Interior Health Authority.

As a result of the constant demand for money, Greater Vernon Water has to hike rates when decreased consumption negatively impacts revenue.

And when the rates climb, residents start using even less water, which ultimately leads to even higher bills.

It’s a vicious cycle.

Many reasons for rules of the road

gnorance and neglect to the laws of operating a motor vehicle can result in accidents, some of which end in fatality.

There are many rules of the road and many reasons why drivers should obey these rules. Speed limits are clearly and accurately posted in an attempt to maintain order and safety among drivers.

Those who do not obey posted speed limits could have less reaction time and less control over their vehicle.

Patience and alertness are key to being a safe driver.

My family and I were driving on a highway with poor weather driving conditions when a man in a 4x4 truck sped dangerously past us. A few kilometres down the road, this same man in the truck was flipped over in the ditch.

It is important for drivers to obey the speed limits in an effort to ensure a common safety and sense of security to all of

WILDLIFE I was greatly disturbed by the front page article, "Conservation forced to focus on safety," published in a recent paper.

You tree huggers had better take a closer look at Googlemaps for this area. Notice, if you will, the vast areas just above the populated valleys of the Okanagan. Note the cross hatch patterns of harvested forest. What do you suppose they are today? Ginormous soccer fields? Huge baseball diamonds?

They are mostly pasture land created by the harvest of trees for lumber. What your warm and cozy house is made of. These harvested areas produce lots of grass in the absence of trees.

What do you suppose Mother Nature does with such a huge abundance of fodder?

Deer numbers are very high, evidenced by the increase of deer/ automobile collisions.

Now, what do you suppose Mother Nature does with all those deer?

Cougar and bear have never had it so good as do coyote and any other predator roaming about out

those who share the road.

Equally important is the no phone use while operating a motor vehicle. A driver should always be aware of their surroundings on the road.

Those who decide to text while driving

there. People, when there is plenty of food the bear and cougar and coyotes have lots of babies.

These wild animals are usually quite territorial. Hence the overflow into our schools and backyards and highways.

A night security guard related a story just last summer (2013) of a black bear that made its way through Polson Park, past the court house and was lost somewhere behind St. James Church.

Stow your garbage properly. Pick up fallen fruit from the ground.

Report sightings of wildlife where they shouldn't be immediately and never, never pet deer. They are wild creatures just like the bears and cougars and coyotes.

If you don't like the system, if you think we need more conservation officers or you feel laws should be changed, reflect this by your vote and contact your local representative.

District and spearheaded by teachers Kim Ondrik and Murray Sasges.

I have had the privilege of participating in some of the early discussions and planning for this initiative.

Kim Ondrik and Murray Sasges have also participated in a number of the early years initiatives of the North Okanagan Early Years Council and the Early Childhood Educators of B.C. Although they are middle and high school educators, they have a very clear understanding of the importance of healthy brain development and nurturing, stimulating and responsive learning environments in the early years from birth to age 6.

They understand that a strong foundation in the early years is essential to later school success.

While we as a society tend to divide ourselves and our children into homogenous groups such as infant, toddler, preschooler, primary or middle schooler, youth, adults and seniors as well as many other categories, we know that we are all humans and have similar requirements for learning across

should be allowed to operate a vehicle.

As people age, so do their common five senses. Reaction time and awareness are naturally altered by this process. The other day, an elderly woman drove through the clearly marked crosswalk and almost hit a young woman crossing the street.

The driving abilities of our fellow seniors need to be closely and delicately monitored.

In conclusion, the laws of the road are placed purely in an attempt to prevent the preventable. Photo radar should be voted into the town of Vernon. The penalties or fines for disobeying these laws should be greatly increased in the hope of slowing traffic down.

The drivers in Vernon should also be less concerned about what province a fellow driver is from and more concerned about how they themselves might be driving.

the lifespan.

We understand that in the early years children learn best in the context of human relationships and we believe that does not change with age.

The vision that Kim and Murray have set out is very similar to the vision we have for all children.

Provide projects or initiatives that are responsive to children’s interests within a context of human connectivity and social justice.

There are many young children involved in high quality early years programs in our community for whom this community school would be a natural progression from the context in which they are currently learning and growing.

I encourage parents to explore this new educational model in our community and look forward to seeing it offered to kindergarten and primary children as the program grows.

The Vernon School District is a partner in the North Okanagan Early Years Council and we commend them for supporting educational innovation from the early years through to high school grad-

uation and beyond.

Armstrong drafts new plan roger knox Morning Star Staff

Armstrong’s official community plan is at the draft stage.

Council gave unanimous approval to first reading of its OCP bylaw.

The plan is designed to guide decisions on land use and management within city boundaries.

Extensive consultation on the plan began in 2012.

“Council feels confident we did a significant amount of public consultation,” said Coun.

Ryan Nitchie.

The document will be available to peruse at city hall or on the city’s website, www. cityofarmstrong.bc.ca. A copy may also be placed at the city’s Okanagan Regional Library branch.

The bylaw will be sent to the board of the Regional District of North Okanagan, School

District 83, the Township of Spallumcheen, Okanagan Indian Band and Splatsin First Nation for its approval before being brought back to council for second reading.

Once second reading has taken place, a public hearing on the OCP will be scheduled which allow citizens a chance to make more comments or ask questions.

Arts funding approved A proposed arts and food festival in Armstrong will receive funding help from the city.

The Armstrong Spallumcheen Arts Council Society (SPARC) requested funds to help with their planned three-day Chalk Art and Food Festival May 30, 31 and June 1 in downtown.

The city approved $2,000 for the event.

The Township of Spallumcheen is also

committing funds.

“This opportunity to have some arts and culture in Armstrong has been talked about for a long, long time,” said Coun. Shirley Fowler. “I think it’s good for council to support them and give them a start. This is a good idea.”

SPARC plans to give artists a measured space on the downtown streets to create a chalk painting. There will be chalk art workshops on the Friday, a proposed wine and food tasting on Saturday, music throughout the weekend, and wrapping up on Sunday with an awards presentation.

Fire system upgrades Three recent false alarms at the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Art Gallery raised some alarms to the age of the building’s fire control panel.

The museum is equipped with a single-

zone fire alarm system including integrated sprinklers along the eastern side of the building.

Prior to Christmas, there were three false alarms in two weeks.

“An assessment was done and it was determined the alarm panel was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced,” said Coun. Ryan Nitchie of the city’s finance committee.

An assessment was also done on other systems within the building and it was discovered some upgrades were required.

Council voted unanimously on a museum request to pre-approve funding for upgrades to the panel and other systems to a maximum of slightly more than $2,900.

Dunn Road The city awarded General Assembly Excavating the tender for the Dunn Road upgrades.

The company, which has completed past capital works projects for the city, was the lowest of five bidders at $624,274.97.

An engineer’s estimate cost of the project is $603,041.25.

The proposed schedule has an anticipated start date of May 5, and hopes to have it finished

by Aug. 8.

Chamber week The city has declared Feb. 17 to 24 as Chamber of Commerce Week in Armstrong.

“The chamber does great work for our community and the township,” said Mayor Chris Pieper.

Downtown parking The chamber will send out a letter to business owners encouraging them not to park in front of their business to take away parking spots from customers.

“The city purchased a lot adjacent to Co-Op a few years ago when this problem first came up,” said city administrator Patti Ferguson.

“Owners can park there at no cost and leave the limited spots in front of their business for customers.”

Pee Wee Vipers move to semis KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Forget flowers, chocolates or wine.

Instead, the Vernon Watkin Motors Vipers marked Valentine’s Day by treating their hockey moms to a drama-jammed 4-2 comeback win Friday afternoon.

Coletyn Boyarski netted the winner with 87 seconds remaining as Vernon stopped the Nanaimo Clippers in the 43rd annual Coca-Cola Invitational Pee Wee Hockey Tournament at Civic Arena.

The Vipers (2-1 in the round-robin) met the undefeated Calgary Blackfoot Chiefs in semifinal action late Saturday afternoon.

The 2-1 Warman Wildcats of Saskatchewan battled the Edmonton Knights of Columbus Lancers (2-1) in the other semi.

The Amy Myles Memorial A event title game goes today at 5:30 p.m. with the Alex Kuly Memorial B final set for 3:15.

Nic Teale tried a wraparound on Clipper net detective Campbell Arnold and Boyarski poked the puck inches over the goal line.

The goal judge wasted no time turning the red light on, but the referee initially waved the snipe off as a Clipper quickly pulled the puck out of the net.

The Clippers seemed in safe control of the tight-checking tilt, but the Vipers equalized when Lucas Wood’s point shot was deflected by Tanner Brown and buried by captain Eric Noren, with 3:48 to play.

D-man Cameron Moger struck the right post after a nice solo rush six minutes into the third. Moger supplied an empty-netter with 58 seconds left.

Vernon goalie Kobe Grant did his best Henrik Lundqvist impersonation while stoning crafty Clipper forward Aaron Marsh twice on breakaways and once from the slot.

“He was crazy good,” said Moger, 11, of Grant. “He’s usually like that. We all played strong; we keep it simple, get it deep, rush the net and bury our chances.”

Rowan Miller, from Boyarski, and Noren, assisted by Moger and Miller, accounted for the other Vernon goals. Marsh, assisted by Evan Soucy, and Liam Moody, from Trey Boyle, replied for the Clippers.

“Just save everything,” said Grant, when asked about his game-plan. “I was able to stay in position and see the pucks well. I think we all worked hard for this one.”

The Clippers iced Seattle 13-4 in consolation play Saturday morning. Captain Ethan Jones collected four goals and Chase Heslop

“They (Vipers) were hard on the puck and won a few more one-on-one battles,” said Marsh, whose team will meet the Cowichan Valley Capitals in the Island finals next week.

Vernon fell 3-2 to Warman in their Thursday night game, getting goals from Teale and Miller. The Wildcats got a deuce from Austin Lamotte, including the winner, with 4:01 to play, and one from Kyrell Sopotyk.

Lamotte clicked with 76 seconds left in double overtime as the Wildcats shaded the Strathcona Warriors of Edmonton 4-3 Friday afternoon. Sopotyk forced OT with 5:54 remaining.

Lamotte and Jaxon Martens completed

the Warman attack, while Luke Golka, Bruce MacGregor and Cole Dubinsky countered for Strathcona.

Calgary cranked up their offence Friday, ambushing the Prince George Cougars 9-2 in the morning and smothering Seattle 9-1 Friday night.

Quinn Olson supplied 3+1 as Calgary iced Seattle. Ethan King pocketed 2+1, while Jake Spak, Ben Karman and Mitchell Watson each earned 1+2. Spencer Weinkauf also scored, while Mitchell Fleury counted three helpers. Brendan Lee replied for Seattle.

Calgary, who have won Lethbridge and Springbank tournaments this year, got 2+2 from King and two goals from Spak against the Cougars. Singles came from Kyle James, Karman, Watson, King and Eric Cole. The

Cats got a goal from Brendan Moseley.

The Lancers advanced to the semis by crushing Seattle 7-1 and brushing off Prince George 4-2 in Friday action.

Adam Glugosh and Nicholas Magis each bagged two goals against Seattle, singles going to Brandon Mejia, Greame Bryks and Ryan Spence. Xavier Haro had two assists.

Miles Seguin responded for Seattle.

Mejia, Spencer, Magis and Jared Holliday handled the Edmonton attack versus Prince George. Moseley and Elijah Goyer countered for the Cats.

Calgary clipped the Lancers 6-5 late Thursday behind two goals from Spak and singles from Olson (winner), Weinkauf, Karman and Fleming. Bryks (3) and Magis (2) led the Lancers.

Heat take playoff UBCO Heat Athletics

The UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball team made history Friday night in Brandon.

The Heat shook off a closely-fought first set loss to win the final three sets (29-31, 25-18, 25-23, 25-19) against the host Bobcats, earning their first Canada West playoff series in school history.

The Heat, who have senior Lenai Schmidt of Vernon on their roster, will make their way to the Canada West Final Four next weekend.

Schmidt is a Kal Laker grad.

“I just..I can’t say enough about how much tenacity, desire, and determination this crew showed tonight,” said an elated Heat head coach Steve Manuel.

“Brandon came out and threw the kitchen sink at us, and executed so well at the beginning of the match, and this team found a way to dig in and push back.”

The Heat were led by the trio of Brianna Beamish (3rd year, Surrey), Megan Festival (2nd year, Calgary) and Katy Klomps (3rd year, Surrey) at the Healthy Living Centre gym.

Beamish carried the brunt of the offensive load, taking 55 total attempts over the course of the four sets that netted a game-high 17 kills for the outside-hitter.

Festival was right behind Beamish in offensive production with 15 kills on 40 attempts to put her series kill

total at 27, while Klomps registered 11 kills, six digs and eight block assists from her middle position.

“Our middles and rightside did a great job of holding the block tonight,” said Brianna Beamish. “That allowed for a lot of 0ne-on-ones on the outside.”

The Heat, for the second night in a row, kept the Brandon foursome of Vaovai Aiono, Shanlee McLennan, Meaghan Robertson, and Victoria Dakin in check.

In the first set, UBC Okanagan were down 21-17, but went on a 5-1 run to tie the game at 22-22. The Heat and Bobcats traded points down the stretch, and although UBC Okanagan was on the verge of winning the set several times with service in hand, Brandon found a way to fight off the Heat serve and tie the set up. Finally, Brandon strungg together two points for the opening win.

“It wasn’t like we were down on ourselves because we lost the set,” said Manuel. “We were happy with how we battled back after being down and were more ready to begin the second set than being down on losing the first.”

Added Manuel: “Maybe the experience we drew from playoffs last season helped us in this game (loss to Mt. Royal Cougars in 2013). It was more about us playing outstanding volleyball.”

The final four goes Friday at UBC.

Posse brush off Knights Junior Hockey League’s Okanagan Division.

Dalton Dubetz (11th), Andrew Stack (14th) and Tyler Ehlers (6th) completed the Princeton attack.

Brett Hawrys, with his team-leading 17th and 18th goals of the season, and Logan Geefs, with his eighth, countered for the Knights.

North Okanagan outshot Princeton 30-22 and went 1-for-2 on the powerplay.

Hawyrs put the Knights up 1-0 midway through the first period on a powerplay.

Defencemen Ryley Booth and Matt

Morning Star Staff

Out of the playoffs and perhaps feeling relaxed, the Princeton Posse lassoed the North Okanagan Knights 7-3 Friday night before 150 fans at the Princeton Arena.

Kurtis Klinger scored his 18th and 19 goals of the year and Eric Schmidt recorded his 17th and 18th snipes as the Posse improved to 15-28-0-6 in the Kootenay International

Halvorson drew assists.

Hawrys made it 2-0 early in the second period with captain TJ Christensen earning the assist.

The Posse then rung up four unanswered goals before 40 minutes was up.

Geefs pulled the Knights within a goal 45 seconds into the third with Morgan Johnston and Colin Robin getting helpers.

Mitch Profeit took the loss, falling to 6-8.

The Knights went to 22-24-0-2 with four games left in the regular season. They have clinched the fourth and final playoff berth.

It was very tight right form the start. The PVSS girls are well coached and very competitive. They are very physical and they opened a 10-point lead on us at the end of the first half.”

Vipers’ defenceman Jared Wilson handles the puck in front of Penticton’s Riley Alferd in B.C. Hockey League play Friday at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Vipers brushed back the Vees 2-1 in front of 1,818 fans.

Snakes figure out Vees Red-hot Dancs gets winner on penalty shot in third period Morning Star Staff

Two more wins and they’re in. That was the scenario facing the Vernon Vipers after a huge 2-1 victory over the first-place Penticton Vees before 1,818 fans Friday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

The Vipers faced the second-place West Kelowna Warriors Saturday night at Kal Tire Place needing just four points to clinch a playoff berth in the B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference.

As of Sunday morning, the Vipers have five regular-season tilts remaining. They have road games in Trail against the lastplace Smoke Eaters and Merritt versus the Centennials, 4-1 upset winners over the host Powell River Kings Friday night.

Vernon has home dates with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and Penticton.

The third-place Vipers improved to 27-16-4-6 by defeating the Vees for the second time in six meetings this season.

The Cents were five points back, while the SilverBacks – 5-1 losers to the Surrey Eagles – were three digits back of Merritt.

Penticton’s scoring woes resumed Friday night as they netted one goal for the 12th time this season. And it was hardly a classic, coming 17 seconds off the opening puck drop.

“It was one of the flukiest goals I’ve ever seen,” said Viper head coach Jason Williamson.

The Vees got the puck deep and reversed to the far side, where d-man Patrick Sexton was guarding the blueline.

Sexton fired a wrister on net, hoping for a tip or rebound. However, the puck

started to sail high and Vipers’ d-man Riley Guenther reached up to glove down the floater and punched the puck up and over goalie Austin Smith.

“We re-grouped and played a strong physical game,” said Williamson. It was a really good playoff-style game and we got better goaltending (than they did in 6-1 loss a month ago in Vernon). Their goalie (Oliver Mantha) was also very good.”

The Vipers won without NHL Central Scouting-rated forwards Mason Blacklock and Demico Hannoun, both on injured reserve.

“Our top guys played a lot and our defence kept their fast and shifty forwards to the outside,” added Williamson.

“They’re small up front and they had trouble getting to our net.”

Monster Vees’ d-man Chris Rygus put a shoulder into Viper winger Brendan Persley, sending Persley into orbit, early in the game. Persley shook it off and the hitting went both ways all night.

The Vipers levelled the score midway through the second period when Liam Coughlin gave it to red-hot Dexter Dancs on the right flank. Dancs, a former Vee, then found Coughlin in the middle of the zone. With everybody expecting Coughlin to shoot, he quickly went back-door to Michael McNicholas for the one-timer into the open net.

McNicholas leads the Vipers with 22 goals and 66 points, just ahead of Dancs, who has 25 snipes and 60 points.

Dancs found a soft spot between the Penticton defence and was pulled down by d-man Chris Rygus at 6:48 of the third period, earning a penalty shot.

Dancs skated out wide, cruised in front and beat Mantha glove side.

Mantha, a 21-year-old Quebec product, is 0-2 in his last two starts, with a

2.06 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. He is 15-8.

He had a good sequence late in the first, stopping two bang-bang chances on the doorstep during a delayed penalty call against the Vees.

In the second frame, Mantha made a fabulous leg save off of Brett Mulcahy, who made a move to elude a defender in the right circle.

The Vees, who have six players with 10 or more goals, went 0-for-6 on the powerplay, missing on three man-advantage chances in the third period. The Vipers were 0-for-4 on the powerplay.

Smith recorded 28 saves, improving to 16-12-3. He was backed up by Vernon Midget Josh Evans with Danny Todyschuk on IR. Zach Dyment of the North Okanagan Knights was scheduled to be Smith’s caddy Saturday night.

Penticton didn’t lose any ground on West Kelowna since the Warriors falling 8-5 to the Victoria Grizzlies before 820 fans at Royal LePage Place.

Jesse Schwartz and Myles Fitzgerald each bagged deuces for Victoria (32-13-33). The Grizz, who share first place in the Island Division with Powell River, just got Leo Fitzgerald, one of the triplets, back from fourth months on IR. Former Viper Jason Bird scored firstperiod goals two minutes apart, as Merritt surprised the Kings. Both Merritt and Salmon Arm had six games left going into Saturday action.

Ex-Viper Chase McMurphy pocketed 1+2 as Surrey stopped Salmon Arm. Vernon’s Alex Gillies returned from injury and netted his 25th of the year before 640 fans at South Surrey Arena.

Danton Heinen scored twice for the Eagles, who have clinched fourth in the Mainland Division.

Feet step lively for Claddagh Love story told through explosion of Irish dance and music Morning Star Staff

Photo submitted

The McLean Avenue Band, led by guitarist Padraig Allen, centre, joins the world tour of Claddagh, An Explosion of Celtic Dance and Music, coming to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday.

It may be a month before St. Patrick’s Day, but that’s not stopping an Irish celebration from thundering its way to Vernon this week.

Those who love the fiery step dancing of Irish musicals such as Lord of the Dance will want to check out a new high-octane production from the Irish Dance Institute called Claddagh, An Explosion of Celtic Dance and Music.

The show, which comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, features the rich dance and sizzling musical heritage of the Emerald Isle in this world premier tour.

An Irish design (as on a ring) of two hands holding a crowned

heart that symbolizes friendship, loyalty, and love, Claddagh (pronounced “klah-duh”) is a modern day Irish fairytale. “(It) quickly immerses the audience in an unbridled energetic fusion of music and dance, complete with a rich universe of love, life, tears and laughter,” reads a press release from the producers.

“Claddagh is an artistic feast of talented musicians and dancers that will ignite the stage with the contemporary luster of shows like Barrage and Stomp while weaving in elements of the great Irish productions’ romantic finesse.”

The multi-media production features a boy-meets-girl storyline from the streets of Galway and beaches of the Irish coast, where a street performance by a band of musicians, portrayed by the acclaimed McLean Avenue Band, attracts the attention of a boy who just happens to be a stellar dancer.

The band also attracts the attention of a young woman who also happens to be a phenomenal dancer — both are portrayed by real-life world champion dancers in the step dance genre.

Between the jigs and ballads, including such favourites as Rattlin’ Bog and Danny Boy, love ensues but is nearly lost when a “bad boy” American dancer arrives on the scene.

Throughout the romantic intrigue, the Claddagh cast bounds effortlessly through a repertoire that spans the generations as well as the globe.

Top musical performers in the Irish genre join the percussive whirlwind of dancing feet to create a euphoric explosion of breathlessly romantic Irish bliss.

Tickets for Thursday’s Claddagh, An Explosion of Celtic Dance and Music, which starts at 8 p.m., are $39 available at the Ticket Seller box office in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Call 250-549-7469 or order online at ticketseller.ca.

Morning Melodies hostess is series’ next performer What started in Sarah Hagen’s livingroom has branched out to the Performing Arts Centre Morning Star Staff

By mid-February, locals may be feeling a mild, or high case of seasonal affective disorder. However, a Vancouver pianist has just the cure for the seasonal blahs.

Sarah Hagen has started a performance series known as Morning Melodies, which she has brought to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, and on Tuesday she goes from host to performer.

“Morning Melodies started in my livingroom where I invited people over to have coffee and cake and listen to me play,” said Hagen.

“I loved the experience so much I wanted to recreate it in a theatre setting.”

The new series of intimate four classical music concerts takes place on select Tuesday mornings in the centre’s Marie Fleming Hall.

Each event begins with coffee, tea, and

treats and a chance to chat with the musicians.

So far the series has featured two of Hagen’s contemporaries, cellist Ariel Barnes and tenor Benjamin Butterfield. The last concert in the series will feature violinist Jennie Press, May 13.

All the musicians, Hagen included, are known for their perceptive, eloquent and entertaining commentary, and will take time to offer personal insights into the music.

Hagen is known as an outstandingly inventive pianist whose execution and impeccable precision offers an intense and profound musical experience.

She has been heard in concert halls and on the airwaves to critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe, and has appeared on Bravo Television.

Her solo album, Glass House Dancing, was nominated for Classical Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards.

Tuesday’s Morning Melodies begins at 9:30 a.m. with a reception and the concert at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors, Photo submitted and $18 for students and can be purchased at the Ticket Seller box office at 250-549-7469 or Pianist Sarah Hagen comes to the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Tuesday for the third of four Morning Melodies concerts, happening Tuesday morning. online at www.ticketseller.ca.

All the pieces fit in Lego movie

Add some drama to

The Lego Movie

your life...

E

verything is awesome for Emmett, a construction worker Lego figurine happy to tow the line.

He contributes to the clockwork-like society of Legoland until it is believed that he might be the “Special” who it is prophesied to save the universe, stopping the evil Lord Business with the piece of resistance.

But is Emmett really the chosen one?

We ask, “What’s not to love?”

TAYLOR: Everybody loves this film, kids and adults alike. Even before I had seen the film I had heard from several friends and acquaintances about how The Lego Movie was a rockin’ good time. I expected it to be well received. It has every reason to succeed: It’s a fun movie about a fun product that many of us know well, or are at least familiar with. It’s set in modern times so it can make use of every pop culture reference point, buzzword and meme. It has big name stars, (not that that matters too much,) funny jokes and a snappy pace.

ReeL Reviews

Taylor and Howe

is awesome....

HOWE: Stop it, Fenin, you know I won’t get that song out of my head.

FENIN: Everything is cool...

HOWE: Really?

Anyway I will have to agree with you.

Everything is awesome and cool about The Lego Movie. Not since

the original Toy Story movie have I enjoyed an animated film as much. And that’s a tall order since we have had some great ones since Toy Story came out in 1995.

TAYLOR: The film is fun, clean, healthy, loud and fast. It’s everything but clever, which is fine as there are enough obvious Lego jokes to go around. I enjoyed it.

It was also fun technically, although it is a computer generated film, everything in the film is made out of Lego, including drops of water.

FENIN: The kitty

that lived in the cloud was my favourite part.

She was very funny.

Crazy eyes...

HOWE: I liked that they jumped from realm to realm, one minute they are in Lego city the next in the wild west or medieval times. And for some reason it reminds me of another movie that I just can’t place right now.

TAYLOR: Some other movie where a prophesied saviour with self doubt reveals the truth about reality and saves the day.

HOWE: Everything is awesome, everything is cool... Damn

that song.

— Fenin gives The Lego Movie 5 Lego people out of 5.

— Howe gives it 4.5 shower bubbles out of 5.

— Taylor gives it 4 mispronounced household items out of 5.

The film is currently playing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Heart to pay tribute to Zeppelin Morning Star Staff

2013 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Heart will be bringing their repertoire of hits back to their beloved Canada, and will be joined by spe-

cial guest Jason Bonham in a sensational tribute to Led Zeppelin.

The Rockin’ Heaven Canada Tour stops at Kelowna’s Prospera Place June 28.

Ann and Nancy Wilson first met Jason Bonham, son of famed Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, when they performed Stairway to Heaven together at the Kennedy Center honors tribute to Led Zeppelin in December, 2012.

More than six million fans have since watched the performance online and purchased the track on iTunes.

Now, in addition to a full set of Heart classic hits including Crazy on You, Barracuda, Alone, These Dreams, What About Love, and many more, fans can experience this historical pairing live when Heart and Bonham close each show with a sensational tribute to Led Zeppelin.

Tickets for the Kelowna date are now on sale at Select Your Tickets.

Call 250-762-5050 or visit www.selectyourtickets.com.

HEALTH TIP brought to you by your Pharmasave Pharmacist SUSAN CARRIE

Vitamin D has been mentioned many times in the media over the past few years. It seems like it is cure-all for diseases like MS, cancer and diabetes although none of this has been proven yet. For a while it was thought to ward off colds and flu but a recent study proved that this isn’t so. However, many Canadians do take vitamin D supplements of from 1000 to 4000 units daily.

With all the research into the genetics of cancer, prostate cancer is the one most often to be inherited. If there is a history of prostate cancer in a man’s family he has a 58% probability of also getting the disease. For women, there is a 28% probability getting breast cancer if other family members have had it.

Dry skin is a common problem during our Canadian winters. One tip for helping is to not scrub your skin too hard when in the shower or bath because it strips the oils from the skin. When drying the skin, leave a little moisture on the skin then apply a good moisturizer. That will help seal in the water and prevent extreme dryness.

February is Heart and Stroke Month in Canada. Every seven minutes a Canadian has a heart attack. About 16,000 Canadians die of a heart attack each year with most of those deaths occurring out of hospital. This is a good time to encourage everyone to learn CPR. It is easier than ever before and you never know when it can help you save a life.

Heart medications also save many lives every year.

However, they have to be taken as the doctor orders.

If you hare having trouble remembering to take your medication, ask our pharmacist for help.

News City backs banner idea roger knox Morning Star Staff

Selling its centennial banners will help the City of Armstrong with its three-year street banner program.

Close to 90 banners were created for Armstrong’s 100th birthday in 2013.

The city is keeping a full set; businesses who sponsored a banner will get to keep theirs, and a set is going to the museum.

The leftover banners will be available to the public for a donation of $25 on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Monies collected would be put into the upcoming street banner program,” said city deputy corporate officer Natalie Garbay.

In December, city staff were directed

by council to work with the Armstrong Spallumcheen Arts Council Society (SPARC) on a design for new street banners running from 2014 to 2016.

The banners will hang on street poles throughout the city and showcase what Armstrong means to its residents and businesses. The deadline for artists to submit a proposed banner design is Feb. 28 at 4 p.m.

Subway supports VJH Morning Star Staff

Those visiting any North Okanagan Subway restaurant this month can indulge their sweet tooth while supporting a cause close to home.

For the month of February, all Vernon, Armstrong and Enderby Subway locations are donating their entire proceeds from cookie sales to support the completion of phase two of the Polson Tower of Care at Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

“The Cookies for Care fundraiser is a way to support and take care of our community,” said Subway district manager Sue Morgan, adding the chain has a dozen cookies on sale for $5.

There are four Subway locations in Vernon, in the Fruit Union and Okanagan Landing Plazas as well on 27th Street and the Village Green Centre. Armstrong’s location is on Smith Avenue while Enderby’s is on George Street.

News New breakwater work launched Morning Star Staff

Demolition and construction of a large portion of the north breakwater is expected to begin in a Lake Country park.

To prepare, Burton Marine Pile Driving will begin moving a barge and other equipment into place early this week at Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park on Okanagan Centre Road West.

It’s anticipated the breakwater construction will be substantially completed by April 20 and some minor clean-up of the park will take place during the following week.

“We don’t anticipate any lengthy closure of the park and its main boat launch during the construction,” said Bruce Smith, Regional District of Central Okanagan communications officer.

“However, a portion of the parking area south of the main launch will be cordoned off during construction for storage of equipment and materials and staging.”

At this time of year, there isn’t a huge demand for the facility’s boat launch.

“However, there are boaters that still do use the launch

and may find some temporary, intermittent closures during construction while equipment is being repositioned or adjusted and while construction materials are being delivered or off-loaded,” said Smith.

“We expect any closures will be minimal and we ask for the patience and cooperation of park users, boaters and other visitors to ensure their safety and that of construction workers. Boaters should also be aware there may be floating materials stored temporarily inside the harbour area during construction.”

The federal government is providing $150,000 toward this project and RDCO has approved $123,000 for the north breakwater demolition and reconstruction.

The regional board will be asked to consider approving funds to complete the remaining 16 metres of the breakwater in this year’s financial plan.

Residents of the Ashton Creek area are encouraged to attend a community meeting that will explore flooding issues.

The meeting will be held Feb. 24 at Riverside Community Hall at 7 p.m.

“It will provide an opportunity for various government representatives to inform the public about issues and alternative strategies dealing with the immediate and longer-term exposure to Ashton Creek flood risks,” said Jackie Pearase, Regional District of North Okanagan director.

Besides Pearase, the meeting will include RDNO staff, the Ministry of Forests, Emergency Management B.C., the Ministry of Transportation, North Okanagan Emergency Management, the Farmland Riparian Interface Stewardship Program and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

There will be presentations on the current situation and what has been done in the past to mitigate flooding; roles and responsibilities of various government agencies; potential strategies that would address stabilization of the creek, protect structures and prevent loss of life in the immediate and longterm; potential funding options to undertake such work; and emergency preparedness.

t’s the last day of Vernon Winter Carnival and I want to offer congratulations and thanks to all the folks involved in organizing and taking part in the festivities.

Whether or not you’re heading up Silver Star today to snowshoe, ski, skate or ride the mountain on a board, there’s still lots of winter left to enjoy, even down here.

We’ve been spoiled these last two weeks with Carnival in our own backyard and the Olympics on television; both have been a nice diversion from the snow and cold weather. Canada’s largest Winter Carnival will soon be taking place in Quebec and if you enjoy winter and carnivals, it’s one to put on your bucket list.

So many foods are specialties during Quebec’s Carnaval, (maple syrup, pea soup for instance) and I feel it’s a shame that Vernon hasn’t found a special recipe, food or drink, truly Okanagan style, to showcase during our Carnival.

Being in the cold of winter I am featuring recipes today that might fit the bill; if not, they’re still very good for tummy and soul. Enjoy.

Potato, Leek & Mushroom Soup 4 medium potatoes, diced 2 cups leeks, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 large carrot, chopped 8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced 4 tbsp. butter 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock 2 cups milk 1 tsp. thyme (optional) Ground black pepper, to taste Sprinkle of green onion or bacon bits for garnish Place potatoes, leeks, celery, carrots, mushrooms, butter and salt in a pot, and cook over medium heat, stirring until butter is melted and vegetables are coated.

Add vegetable stock, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender (20-30 minutes).

When the potatoes are tender, remove the pan from the heat and purée its contents with the milk,

Museum camp trains superheroes Denise Marsh Special to The Morning Star

The young and the young at heart came out in droves to sharpen their superhero skills Feb. 8 at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives.

Participants made their way through four stations that tested their agility, creativity, balance and problem-solving skills. Those who used their super sleuth skills to find all three of our superheroes hidden throughout the museum walked away with their very own piece of “kryptonite,” more commonly known as “fools gold” or Iron Pyrite.

Cody Grams used his superhero eyes to guess the exact number of goodies in the jar, taking home the jar of goodies to enjoy. The winner of our Superhero Prize Pack was Cisko Hove. His name was drawn from those who completed all four sta-

A last-minute addition to our festivities was a handmade kryptonite machine built by volunteer Garry Garbutt. If the two magnets were positioned just right the kryptonite glowed green, much to the delight of the kids.

Thanks to our archivist, Barbara Bell, chil-

dren also learned a bit about one of our local heroes, Capt. Thomas Shorts, while exploring the museum. Curator Ron Candy put together a vintage comic book display that was a hit with all ages. If you didn’t make it out on Saturday you still have until March 1 to view this temporary exhibit.

Event and education coordinator Jennifer Ng

received numerous positive comments about the event including, “This is amazing! Do you do this every year?”

While the Superhero theme was a first for the museum, it does host a number of children’s events throughout the year. The Bug Guys will once again be bringing their bugs and reptiles to the museum this summer, and plans

are being made for our annual Halloween Bash.

Watch our Facebook page at www.facebook. com/vernonmuseum or our website www.vernonmuseum.ca for all of our upcoming events.

A special thank you to Tim Hortons for supplying all the hot chocolate for our event. We are also fortunate to have our very own team of superhero volunteers and staff that made this event possible and such a great success. A colossal thank you to all!

The Visiting Vet

With the cold weather comes dry skin. Everyone has it to one degree or another. Just think how many times you wash your hands with soap and water or use antiseptic cleanser and they are also exposed to the elements. The best we can do is keep our skin moisturized and protected. For the really dry cracked and rough hands and feet try putting a salve on, then wear cotton gloves or socks over night.

For daytime, some hand creams leave a protective barrier even after washing. Avène Cold Crème for hands is one of those. To repair our precious Lipid Barrier on our hands and body Xera Calm is hypo allergenic, sterile and calming for the very sensitive of skins. This can also be used on babies and anyone with itchy, severe dry skin prone to atopic dermatitis. Also use soap free cleansers when showering or bathing. Make sure to drink lots of water and use a Thermal water spray before you moisturize your face.

Soon it will be Spring and our skin will be in better shape!

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

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 uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Kal Tire advances skills training Morning Star Staff

Kal Tire and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada have launched the second year of Skilled4Success, a national program designed to help young people explore, discover and develop career possibilities in the skilled trades.

Vernon-based Kal Tire piloted the Skilled4Success program with youth participating from 15 boys and girls clubs across Canada last year. There was such a positive response from teens and potential employers that it has become an ongoing national program of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.

According to a 15-year-old youth participant last year, “Skilled4Success taught me a lot of new things. I had no idea what a skilled trade was or that I even had any skills to become a skilled trade worker. I loved having real people come in and talk about their education and career experiences.”

Skilled tradespeople play a vital role in the economy and communities across Canada and society depends on the work of skilled tradespeople. Manufacturers and exporters predict that in 2016, Canada will have a surplus of 660,000 unskilled workers, with 1.3 million skilled jobs sitting vacant.

Skilled4Success was created to help address this imbalance and improve the career prospects of young people in Canada.

The program offers job skills training, career planning advice and information about provincially regulated apprenticeship programs.

KAL TIRE PHOTO

Kal Tire stores across the country, including in the Okanagan, will be providing youth with hands-on training through the Skilled4Success program.

“They learn what it means to have good training and a mentor.”

— Ed Lauer

“As part of the job shadowing experience, it’s important to demonstrate to the youth the many elements that would be involved in any skilled trade,” said Ed Lauer, Kal Tire’s director of stores for Western Canada.

“Safety is number one. They are all asked to wear proper personal protection

and they learn about safe work environments. They also learn what it means to have good training and a mentor, and to provide quality service. And when they get to roll up their sleeves and participate in vehicle inspections, we find the youth very enthusiastic.”

Through a combination of in-club programming and off-site field trips, Skilled4Success offers traditional and hands-on learning.

Teens are provided job-shadow opportunities with skilled professionals at Kal Tire stores or other work environments.

The program also teaches job search strategies, resume writing and general skills that can be applied in a range of careers.

While there is a focus on skilled trades, teens are encouraged to explore a range of career options and identify their special talents.

“We are delighted to build upon the partnership between Kal Tire and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada,” said Pam Jolliffe, BGCC president.

“Our young people can explore rewarding career options and acquire the skills needed to land a job interview.

Skilled4Success is one of many ways our Clubs encourage personal growth, learning and community involvement.”

Among the clubs offering the Skilled4Success program from February to June is the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club.

B.C. chamber gives federal budget green light Morning Star Staff

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce is lending its support to the latest federal budget.

“We’re pleased to see a prudent, fiscally-conservative budget that nonetheless supports two key B.C. priorities: skills development and infrastructure,” said John Winter, B.C. chamber president.

Winter commended the budget’s focus on skills training, including measures to better match young workers with the skills needs of business and the creation of the Canada apprentice loan to encourage trades training.

“We applaud the federal government for its efforts to tackle Canada’s skills gap. We would, however, urge the government to continue to work hard to ensure the Canada Jobs Grant is palatable to businesses and the provinces, so that it

“We applaud the federal government for its efforts.”

achieves its goal of triggering new investment in training.”

The B.C. chamber also welcomed continued focus on funding major infrastructure.

“Investing in infrastructure is key to our national economic growth,” said Winter.

“We look forward to further details regarding the Building

Canada Fund, which we trust will help fund B.C. infrastructure projects that fuel our province’s economic growth.”

Winter noted that there’s a strong link between the investment in core public infrastructure, such as roads, transit and utilities, and the productivity performance of all sectors of the Canadian economy.

He added that the consequences of under-investment are equally clear.

“The success and competitiveness of Canadian business depends on modern and efficient infrastructure.”

Another aspect of the budget being endorsed by the chamber is supporting economic growth in rural areas.

Ottawa will invest $305 million over five years to extend and enhance broadband Internet service for Canadians in rural and northern communities.

Program gives ranchers an edge CAM FORTEMS Kamloops This Week

A mandatory cattletracking program in Canada gives ranchers a unique edge in marketing.

The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association and the B.C. Association of Abattoirs recently hosted a workshop on cattle traceability and what it can offer beyond its stated goal of food safety.

The Canadian Food and Inspection Agency instituted a radio-frequency tag program for all beef cattle in the wake of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) crisis a decade ago.

That system allows quick tracing of animals in cases of disease outbreak.

But, Larry Thomas, national co-ordinator for the Beef InfoXchange System (BIXS) for Canadian Cattlemen, said it also gives retailers and producers a window into production that can be used for marketing or feedback on quality of the product.

Radio-frequency identification tags are not mandatory in the United States and industry leaders asked the question: “Can we bring value to the fact we have to get tags in Canada?”

A new program allows for quick tracing of cattle if there is a disease outbreak.

Thomas said the industry believes the tags give ranchers in Canada an advantage.

For example, ranchers can retain identification numbers and determine how their animals are graded after they are sent to Alberta packing plants.

“Today, a rancher sells the animal at an auction and that’s the last thing they have for that animal,” he said.

On the other side, Thomas said, retailers will be able to use the tags to determine, for example, if beef is free of hormones or vaccines.

Poll names top brands in province Black Press

London Drugs has topped a ranking of B.C.’s best brands, followed by WestJet and Save-onFoods.

The list – titled B.C.’s Most Loved Brands – was conducted by Ipsos Reid and BCBusiness, and polled 1,596 adults about 65 brands, all of them based in B.C. London Drugs topped the most loved list, and impressed Ipsos in other areas, too.

“London Drugs almost tripled the average B.C. brand score when it came to consumers referring to a ‘brand that I trust,’” said Michael Rodenburgh, executive VP of Ipsos in Western Canada. “The company also more than doubled average BC scores in the categories of a ‘brand I’m likely to interact with,’ and a ‘brand that I see everywhere.’”

Four other brands with Vernon locations made the list: BCAA, Chevron, B.C. Hydro and White Spot.

Also on the list: The Keg, SunRype and the Vancouver Canucks.

They can advertise that fact.

“It’s end-market intelligence.”

While the radio-frequency tags are mandatory, use of BIXS is not.

Thomas said the

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is advising ranchers to use the system, which replaces a difficult-to-use earlier version.

There is no fee to use the system.

Tax News

www.fraserfinancial.com

from Dean Chapple at H&R Block Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) are a good way to start saving for retirement as well as utilizing them to reduce your taxes. There are contribution rules to follow with RRSPs. First your contribution room (the amount you are allowed to put into this account) is calculated as 18% of the previous years income to a maximum of $23,820 for 2013. The RRSP limit is cumulative each year, so that if you do not use your entire contribution limit in one year to buy RRSPs then that amount will add to the following year increasing your limit. RRSP contributions in excess of $2000 over your allowed limit are subject to a penalty and CRA are actively enforcing this penalty for people who buy more RRSPs than allowed. Come in and talk to our specialists before you buy RRSP to ensure the best tax advantage and avoid any penalties.

Seniors invited to Spring Break-out Morning Star Staff

As many as 500 local seniors have enjoyed the fun of Rotary Club of Vernon’s Annual Spring Break-out.

This year’s free event for seniors takes place March 12 at the Vernon Recreation Centre.

“The highly anticipated event has been held for many years and is a free dinner and dance with live entertainment for local seniors,” said Emily Gaudet, event chair. “Nearly 500 attendees will enjoy a delicious complimentary meal with wine, served by Rotarians themselves aided by other volunteers.

“Door prizes are provided by local businesses, dance per-

formances and live music will round out the fun evening.”

The Spring Break-out runs from 5:30 p.m to 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 5 p.m.) and allows seniors to get out and have a social evening at no charge to themselves while welcoming the return of spring.

The event is made possible through the generosity of local sponsors and volunteers, as well as donations raised from December’s Rotary Carol Festival.

“It is an opportunity for seniors who are valuable members of the Vernon community to mingle and meet people of the same age group and share

common interests,” said Gaudet.

“The Rotary Club of Vernon also provides free drives for those who do not have transportation of their own.”

Admission for seniors is by complimentary advanced ticket only, which can be picked up free of charge from the Schubert Centre or the Halina Seniors’ Centre at the Recreation Centre. Requests for drives may also be made at the same time.

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service and encourages high ethical standards in all vocations.

The Rotary Club of Vernon is a member club of District 5060 of Rotary International.

Rotarians provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

There are 1.2 million Rotarians in 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.

Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.

Tolerance turns to annoyance

W

ith the digital age in evidence all around us, amidst the marvels of it all are the inevitable annoyances. Like the ubiquitous smartphones demanding attention often to the exclusion of social graces, the robo phone calls timed to arrive around dinner Vernon PC Users’ Club time, the cell towers sprouting up on skylines, and, to those of us that spend any time connected to the Internet, the numerous intrusions to privacy that appear on screens unsolicited and usually unwelcome.

Last year I purchased a brand-new lap-

Computer question

top that came complete with the latest and greatest Windows operating system together with a goodly number of apps (application software packages), some gratis, others for a price. Once I got used to the different feel of the keyboard and installed a wireless mouse I really was quite happy with my new computer. For a time I tolerated the frequent popups that offered me such things as a free backup service, specialized registry scans and repair, virus protection, custom toolbars and so on.

Many of these apps and services were built in to Windows out of collaboration between Microsoft and the hardware manufacturer. Soon my tolerance turned to annoyance, the latter fueled by frustration with the inability to turn off the popups short of subscribing to the service or

product being promoted. One freebie I did acquire automatically became the default home page for my Firefox browser that I could not change. So I set about “uninstalling” the culprit software and blocking the acceptance of cookies by the websites promoting it. Even after doing so I couldn’t turn off a couple of the annoyances built in to Windows that show up even when not connected to the Internet. I know, I know, Linux proponents reading this will be saying “quit your whining and dump Windows.”

Trouble is that I like some of the apps that run under it because, well...I wrote them!

The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or Olive at 542-8490 for more information.

PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT.™ MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder TWO CHANCES; DID THE CARD DROP? Jeff Foxworthy, famous for his redneck jokes, said, “The designated-driver program is not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.”

Bridge players drop tricks with wrong plays, both as declarer and -- much more often -- on defense. Also, key-cards can drop. For example, you have nine cards missing only the queen. The percentage play (just) is to cash the ace and king, hoping the queen will drop.

In this deal, where is the drop? South is in three notrump. West leads the heart

queen. What should declarer do?

North used Stayman to try to find a 4-4 spade fit, then settled for three no-trump.

South starts with six top tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and two clubs. But since the heart ace will have been dislodged by trick two, declarer must take the next eight tricks after that. He is faced with three finesses -- in spades, diamonds and clubs. Which should he take?

The typical deal has only two finesses. Then you should play for the drop in the suit with the greater number of cards (or more top tricks). If the missing honor appears, fine; if not, finesse in the other suit.

Here, South has even more

chances. He should cash the four minor-suit tops ending in his hand. If either queen drops, the contract is home. Here, though, neither appears. So South finesses in spades, running the 10, then running the queen, then playing low to dummy’s jack. Finally, something works.

The memorial that pays tribute to Civil War president Abraham Lincoln is among the most popular attractions in Washington, D.C.

Three days of history KAROLINE CULLEN Special To The Morning Star

U.S. - “Stop, this area is closed.” He holds up his right hand. “Turn around.

Walk away.”

We take in his white shirt, dark sunglasses and severe expression. “But we’re just going through the park.”

“Turn around. Walk away.”

“Can’t we stand here and watch?”

“No, the area is closed. Turn around.

Walk away.”

“You’re not going to tell us what’s going on?”

“No. Turn around. Walk away.”

“We can’t stand here with you and watch?”

He shakes his head and steps closer, so we obediently turn and leave. He follows to ensure we do not stroll in front of the White House today. We are disappointed but then it is not every day we get shooed away by a member of the Secret Service Police.

Welcome to Washington, D.C. My husband Gary and I are here for three days of museums, monuments and memorials. Many are on the Mall, a two mile long, garden-like, national park with the Washington Monument in the middle.

From there to the West lie the monuments and memorials; to the East, the museums of the Smithsonian Institution and the Capitol Building.

First stop is the National Air and Space Museum. Standing by Apollo 11’s Command Module Columbia, we find its small size astounding.

Something no larger than an old Volkswagen Beetle carried the first men to walk on the moon and their pilot to lunar orbit and back. John Glen’s Mercury capsule, in which he orbited Earth, is even smaller. Hanging from the ceiling above is the Spirit of St. Louis.

Down the hall is the original Wright Flyer. In gallery after gallery, there are warplanes, passenger planes, mail planes, rockets, satellites, telescopes, a lunar land-

In the early 1800s, British scientist James Smithson left his immense fortune of half-a-million dollars to the U.S. No one knows why he bequeathed such a generous gift to a country he never visited.

The money was to be used to found “at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” After years of heated debate in Congress, the Smithsonian was established in 1846.

The Air and Space Museum is one of nineteen in the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum and research complex. Whatever your interest: art, science, history, design, culture, aviation, gardens, sculpture, or animals at the National Zoo; there is a free museum to visit.

After the Air and Space Museum, we admire the curving architectural lines of the American Indian Museum and listen to chants echoing in the foyer.

We pop into the American History Museum to see the original Star Spangled Banner, Julia Child’s kitchen, and Lincoln’s hat, which he was wearing when he was assassinated.

At the Natural History museum we pass the elephant in the rotunda en route to the dinosaur exhibit and the 52 carat, deep blue, Hope Diamond. We hardly have time to see more. I venture you could spend a year visiting a different exhibit each day and still not see them all.

The Newseum, an airy, modern building next door to the Canadian Embassy on the Mall, is dedicated to five centuries of the gathering and reporting of news. I am moved almost to tears at several exhibits.

We stand by a piece of the World Trade Center from 9/11 and browse the display for the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination.

At the Lincoln Memorial, I feel dwarfed at the foot of the stern president sitting on his chair. My eyes follow his gaze across the tree lined reflecting pool to the Second World War Memorial and the Washington Monument.

The vista is much grander than television or photographs can relay. To the north is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a pair of black walls etched with more than 55,000 names.

To the south, the statue of Martin Luther King Jr. looks across the Tidal Basin to the Jefferson Memorial. The memorials are impressive during the day but we enjoy them more lit at night.

The play of light and shadow on the facades dramatically accentuates the details.

While sitting at Lincoln’s feet, we ponder if the area fronting the White House will be closed tomorrow.

Dec 19, 1937 to Feb 5, 2014 On Feb 5, 2014, our beauƟful Muƫ and Grandmother returned to the embrace of her parents. Death came peacefully aŌer many years of struggling with arthriƟs and its complicaƟons.

Lore(Blanke) Herchen was born in Berlin in 1937, but the lives of her musicianͬ teacher parents were shaƩered by WW2. Stability came for a few years as she completed high school near Frankfurt. She was an accomplished swimmer, and accordion player and excelled at handicraŌs, parƟcularly kniƫng. She married young, following her adventuresome veterinarian husband to Canada soon aŌer the birth of her oldest son. She loved the Georgian Bay, where her only daughter was born. The family moved to Alberta and by age 29 she had three more sons.

Raised in the city, Muƫ embraced country life, feeding the family, working with animals, doing the accounƟng , being a hockey mom and taking up piano. She achieved Grade 9 Royal Conservatory and developed a core of dedicated students.

Muƫǭs ambiƟous children garnered 11 degrees between them, so she had to wait Ɵl her 50ǭs for grandchildren. Her passion for music and nature is evident in all of them. AŌer her divorce, Muƫ took singing and dancing lessons. She was a natural photographer and leaves us with countless beauƟful memories of her family visits and other travels. In 2002 Muƫ moved to Vernon. Although her health problems slowed her down, she remained the family magnet, drawing her family ǭǭhomeǭǭ on many occasions. She taught piano unƟl last year and became proĮcient with her Mac. Some of her favourite spots to enjoy nature were Kaloya Park, Sawicki Park, Kin Beach and Sovereign Park, where she swam every summer. I would like to thank Jaime, Karen and Caroline for all the Ɵme spent with my mother, as well as several residents of the Westmount Apt . Muƫǭs passing leaves a great void in the hearts of her family: Harald, Melissa, Sandra and Timmy in California, Erich and Ranratcha in Vancouver, Hans, Noni, Miranda, Alex and Erica in Edmonton, Leonard , Maritza, Erich and Salma in Calgary, and Sylvia, Stewart and the criƩers in Vernon.

On Feb 9th there was a family service in Vernon. AŌer Easter there will be a celebraƟon of Life in Vernon. Lebǭ wohl, Liebe Muƫ.
