Council targets smoke-free Lumby RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Opportunities to smoke in Lumby could be severely restricted. The village is in the early stages of considering a bylaw that may ban smoking for all residents in public spaces such as trails, parks and even possibly sidewalks. “We will draft a bylaw and get public input,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “It’s about the kid who is not smoking yet and the children. I smoked and I wished I never started because it’s

tions frequented by children. In areas where adults are predominant, smoking will be allowed even if some people are offended by cigarette smoke. But the latest push to expand restrictions comes from a smoking cessation program that involved Okanagan College nursing students and the Interior Health Authority. “The goal is to establish a smoke-free Lumby through promotion of tobacco avoidance for youth, raising the negative effects of tobacco use,” said Tom Kadla, Lumby’s

chief administrative officer. “This is to be performed through making connections in the community with informal and formal leaders in the community, focusing on youth because youth can be powerful leaders in the community.” Acton admits that enforcing expanded no-smoking rules could be challenging. “We won’t go out specifically looking for it but if bylaw enforcement staff are out and see something, it will go along with their other duties,” he said.

Nicholas Griffey leaps out of the way as Justin Vicklund blocks a shot during a game of road hockey Saturday afternoon in the BX.

Maybe it was his method of trying to get into the truck that alerted a Vernon resident to a suspicious man in the downtown area. Shortly after 1:30 a.m. Monday, Vernon RCMP received a report from a concerned citizen in the 3300 block of Centennial Drive that an unknown man was seen throwing rocks at the back window of a black truck. According to the citizen, the man threw rocks at the window until it broke, then climbed inside. “Our officers responded to the scene and noticed the man was still inside the vehicle, rummaging through items,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Our officers called the suspect out of the truck.” When the man got out of the truck, Molendyk said officers “immediately recognized him.” “He is known to our officers from propertyrelated and other offences,” said Molendyk. The 36-year-old Vernon man was arrested and remanded in custody pending a court appearance on Monday on a charge of mischief. As there were other thefts from vehicles over the weekend, Molendyk said police would be looking to see if there was a possible connection to the truck suspect.

MATTHEW MURNAGHAN/CANADIAN PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE

Vernon’s Josh Dueck (left) carries the Canadian flag into the closing ceremonies at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet (above, second from left) and Armstrong’s Ina Forrest (second from right) receive their wheelchair curling gold medal along with teammates (from left) Mark Ideson, Dennis Thiessen and Jim Armstrong.

Vernon athletes rock flag bearer’s role Morning Star Staff

Flag bearer coming in, flag bearer going out. Vernon athletes had the honour of carrying Canada’s colours into the opening and closing ceremonies at the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia. Josh Dueck, who won gold and silver in para-alpine skiing, was Team Canada’s flag bearer for Sunday’s closing ceremonies. Dueck handled the same responsibility bestowed upon fellow Vernon wheelchair curler Sonja Gaudet, who carried Canada’s flag for the opening ceremonies on March 7. Making the honour even more special for Dueck is the fact that he had never been to a Paralympic

Games opening or closing ceremony before, due to his racing schedule. “So this is my first time going to the big show and I get to carry the flag. It’s awesome,” said Dueck prior to Sunday’s ceremonies. “Our team rocked. We’re skiing well. We met our targets. Tip of the hat to all our coaches and staff, it was cool to see a plan come to fruition.” The gold medal and being named flag bearer came on the same weekend of the 10-year anniversary of the freestyle skiing accident that left Dueck without the use of his legs. Team Canada finished the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games ranked third among all nations in the gold medal count, achieving

its performance target for these Games. Canadian athletes won seven gold, two silver and seven bronze medals in Sochi. Adding to the gold medal count was Gaudet, Armstrong’s Ina Forrest and their wheelchair curling teammates, Jim Armstrong of Ontario, Dennis Thiessen of Manitoba, and fifth Mark Ideson of Ontario . Canada won an unprecedented third consecutive gold medal in wheelchair curling, beating Russia 8-3 in the final Saturday afternoon after edging China 5-4 in the semifinals in the morning. The win adds to Canada’s string of success in international curling competition as gold medalist in

both men’s and women’s Olympic curling and now the champions of the 2014 Sochi Paralympic Winter Games in wheelchair curling. Gaudet has been a member of all three Paralympics gold-medal squads. Forrest won gold in Vancouver in 2010. “It feels fantastic,” said Forrest. “The gold-medal game felt so smooth and comfortable.” With its Sochi performance, Canada has kept its place as a top winter sport nation following the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games, where Canada collected 10 gold medals, five of which were won by a single athlete, para-alpine skier Lauren Woolstencroft who retired after 2010.

Dueck conducted the ceremonial face-off at Tuesday’s VipersPenticton BCHL playoff game.

At times, it is used by an individual who is nearing the end of life, while there are other occasions where there is respite care for residents looking after a parent. There are other times when the bed is used for occupational therapy. “We know there are people in the community who need assistance,” said Hogan of the shortstay nature of the bed. “It is well used but

we would like to see it used more.” Mayor Howie Cyr says council is writing the letter to IHA to make it aware of the importance the bed plays in the area. “If someone in the community is near end of life, it’s important for them to be in the community so their family can be close,” he said. “It’s onerous for them to have to drive to Salmon Arm or Vernon.”

Flood concerns continue in Lumby RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Lumby officials continue to insist they are getting the run-around over flooding. Another letter from the Ministry of Forests has not promised any efforts to mitigate possible flooding and the impact on residents and businesses. “It was a frustrating letter,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “It’s not much different than what we were told at the meeting we had with the ministry recently.” There was considerable flooding in the community last spring, and the village has been demanding the provincial government

For the record

The Morning Star wishes to clarify a March 16 article. Junior Chamber International did not request that the City of Vernon move a tardis, or policeman’s call box, to various locations. The request was made by an artist who constructed the tardis to raise funds for JCI.

take action on flooding because of the impact of pine beetle kill in the watershed. “There has to be maintenance of the creek or silt will build up and burst its banks,” said Acton. The village also wants the Regional District of North Okanagan to reduce Duteau Creek reservoir levels to accommodate snowmelt and reduce the risk of flooding. Pressure continues to build on village offi-

cials to ensure flooding doesn’t cause major problems this spring. “The chamber of commerce and business community are very frustrated. They want to make sure something is being done,” said Acton. “We are trying to find ways to help the businesses downtown.” In a March 4 letter to council, Forests Minister Steve Thomson says logging companies have conducted watershed assessments to measure

and mitigate runoff from clearcut areas. “The process to apply for funding for works to Duteau Creek is limited to the disaster financial assistance program and is limited to eligible costs incurred by the village during flood events,” said Thomson. “I understand that Greater Vernon Water has engaged in some significant work to assist the village in finding solutions to flood concerns.”

Recycling plan opposed RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

A North Okanagan businessman isn’t giving up his fight although a new recycling system is moving ahead. On Tuesday, Multi-Material B.C. selected Emterra Environmental to manage the North Okanagan’s curbside recycling collection services starting May 19. “The provincial legislation hasn’t taken effect yet so to let a tender doesn’t mean they will even start,” said Will Hansma, Okanagan Advertiser owner and former Spallumcheen mayor. MMBC, a stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers, will take over collection and recycling of packaging under provincial regulations. Hansma is part of a coalition of business stakeholder groups opposed to the regulatory change to the recycling of printed paper and packaging. “Our coalition hopes they (government) will reconsider the program because it’s so flawed,” said Hansma. “This will double our recycling costs.” Hansma is calling for consultation with industry and he says the new system will not provide any benefits to the North Okanagan. “It’s not fair for the local contractors to lose those jobs,” he said, adding that non-profit Venture Training has also been involved in recycling.

“This will double our recycling costs.” — Will Hansma

“We’ve run a really good program in the North Okanagan and it cost us very little.” MMBC officials defend the selection of Emterra, which has corporate headquarters in Ontario. “Emterra provided the best bid and it has a lot of experience,” said Allen Langdon, MMBC managing director. “It will employ local people to provide the service.” According to MMBC, communities will be able to recycle new categories of packaging starting in May, including milk cartons, foam packaging, plant pots, aluminum foil packaging, certain types of plastic film packaging and drink cups. Emterra will serve all communities in the Regional District of North Okanagan, except for Spallumcheen which has operated its own recycling program in past. Spallumcheen officials are waiting to hear who MMBC will name as the contractor for the township.

One of the suspects, a 24-yearold Vernon resident, is on parole and was in breach of his conditions. He was remanded in custody. The second suspect was released. “The file is still being investigated by our office with the possibility of further charges being laid,” said Molendyk.

Police targeting impaired motorists ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Once again, Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP officers are giving the motoring public ample warning. Saturday is National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day across Canada, meaning RCMP officers will be patrolling the roadways searching for impaired drivers. “We will be out all day and into the evening with a concentrated effort on targeting impaired drivers,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Police detachments across the country have been targeting impaired drivers throughout the year, not just at peak times such as Christmas or summer. In the North Okanagan region over the past week, two drivers were issued 24-hour prohibitions (both alcohol-related); two were given three-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs), one for alcohol, one for cannabis; seven drivers picked up 90-day IRPs. There was one person arrested for impaired driving, and nine motorists had their vehicles impounded.

What’s the difference?

bviously North Okanagan residents are celebrating the golden victories of Josh Dueck, Ina Forrest and Sonja Gaudet. Their performances at the Paralympic Winter Games are something we should all be extremely proud of. But how many locals actually got to share in these outstanding feats, even if it was just through watching the television? More than 90 hours of TV hours and 250 hours of online coverage of the Sochi games were provided by the official media consortium, including 30 hours of original programming on CBC. “Canadians are extremely passionate when it comes to supRichard Rolke porting our homegrown athletes, so we’re proud to be leading this group of content providers that will provide more coverage than ever for a Paralympic Games,” said Jeffrey Orridge, executive director of sports properties and general manager, Olympics, CBC, in a release. However, pursuing that passion was hitand-miss as those 90 hours of Paralympic telecasts were often challenging to find, partly because they didn’t dominate prime time. Now compare that to the media circus that was the Winter Olympics just a few weeks earlier. According to CBC, a total of 1,653 televised hours, including English and French-language broadcasts, across all of the major networks involved were directed towards the Winter Games. And while exact figures aren’t known, there were at least 1,653 hours of coverage online. “We at CBC/Radio-Canada are incredibly

proud to have provided Canadian viewers and athletes with the coverage of Sochi 2014 that they clearly wanted and definitely deserved across all of our platforms,” said Heather Conway, executive vice-president, English services, CBC. For me, the overwhelming question is why does the broadcast and Internet coverage for the Paralympics fall significantly short of the Olympics? Is it because most of the media don’t consider Paralympians as athletic as their ablebodied counterparts even though they have had to overcome some substantial life challenges? Do broadcasters not believe the general public is as interested in physically disabled athletes or is it because the depth of corporate sponsorship isn’t the same? But of course, it’s not just broadcasters who need to be questioned. Quite frequently, print media also relegate the achievements of Special Olympics athletes to the lifestyles portion of the paper and not the sports section. Rarely are those with developmental disabilities considered to be full-fledged athletes despite constant training and sacrifices or that they’re in better physical shape than most of us considered to be “normal.” I always remember a client of the North Okanagan Community Life Society’s response when she was asked to define labels. “Labels are something you put on jars.” Prior to the Paralympics beginning, Gaudet, a wheelchair curler, said, “I hope to lead by example and send a message of ability and not disability. And that it’s not about what’s missing, it’s about what’s there.” I suspect most people will completely agree with Gaudet, even if we couldn’t find her on the television.

Nature deficit disorder is a term that is gaining traction, especially among nature enthusiasts and environmental activists such as David Suzuki. Author Richard Louv coined the term in a book entitled Last Child in the Woods. The book claims to explore the direct link between the absence of nature in children’s lives to rising rates of obesity, attention disorders, and depression. Unfortunately, all of the links are based on correlations and not direct links. The scientific evidence regarding the development of childhood obesity, summarized by a team led by Georgia Papoutsi, published in the Journal of Economic Surveys in 2012, points to a myriad of factors, from an increase in the consumption of soft-drinks, busing students to school, a decline in physical activity, socio-economic status and a host of other factors. Likewise with the cause of attention disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. According to a 2013 review led by Anita Thapar published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, a myriad of factors can potentially lead to the development of attention disorders, both genetic and non-genetic, none involved the lack of communing with nature. Nonetheless, being out in nature has many benefits. For example, a 2006 study by Kuo and Taylor, published in the American Journal of Public Health found that subjects with attention disorders showed fewer symptoms of the disorder after spending time in nature. This shouldn’t be a surprise as most people will say communing with nature has a calming effect. Mother Nature does not have the ability to prevent obesity, depression or attention disorders, she can only attenuate the symptoms, and that, she does very well. Black Press

Confessions of an addict

s with most addictions, our addiction has changed our life. In fact it has taken over our life and at times, it is all we can think about. Fortunately we support each other in our joint addiction. Like most addictions, our addiction came out of nowhere. We saw other people engaging, and so we became curious. It looked like fun from an outsider’s perspective. At first we held back and watched from a distance as others engaged. We were intrigued and befuddled by what we saw. Like a cat with no sense for its own well being, our curiosity took over and we threw caution to the wind. Our addiction is not to alcohol or some drugs or other such wild behaviour. No, our addiction is to pickleball. What is pickleball and how can you get addicted to it? The silly name came as a result of one of the mothers of the families saying that the game was made up of leftovers from other games, much like the crew of a pickleboat that came from the leftovers of crews from other boats. Any sailor should know what this means. From the moment we hit the first ball, we were hooked. The game is a quick game with simple rules with many elements of tactics and strategy. QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL Our mayor and council seem so proud of the fact that they have two departments working together on a job at once. Should this not be the standard for all jobs even if they have to defer for a short time, saves costs and only one mess? In the budget, it is stated that the bylaw enforcement was to go down by two staff. Then why are advertising for two part-time, full-time staff in this paper? Why do we need another $30,000 water system assessment just to tell us what we have already been told? They say that some businesses may leave town if they have to pay too much for water. Bob Fleming (regional district director) goes on to state that the agricultural rate should be low because it's economic development. Shouldn't every one get the same increase? The mayor and council wish to have Vernon as a destination place for recreation people. First, we do not have enough companies renting out equipment. Second we do not have the big RV sites

Pickleball is a relatively new game which some players describe as a combination of tennis and badminton. This ball-and-paddle game is played on a badminton-sized court where the net has been lowered to 34 inches at the centre. Equipment includes wood or composite paddles, which are about twice the size of a ping pong paddle, and a plastic, perforated ball (much like a whiffle ball). Now, as we travel throughout the province, we look for places to play indoors and outdoors. At the larger centres in the Okanagan, such as Kelowna, Penticton and Kamloops, there are active club members playing multiple times a week. Many of our neighbourby the lakes that people want for their big RVs. The big hotels and restaurants are not located by the lake and holiday persons do not want to travel. The mayor and council are too easily swayed by powerful groups and companies. They lack long-range vision as to the effects of constant borrowing will have upon our taxes and debt load. They do not dig far enough for facts, i.e. the new sports centre, was pushed through before it became public that a major change in age demographics (we were aging) and student enrolment was declining. So why could they not wait? This is my last letter to the paper as it seems that few citizens care what happens in your city. Garry Haas TOURISM BOOTH Say that again Ms. Jefferson? You actually want to decrease visitor numbers to the tourism centre? Because that is what you implied in an article in The Morning Star titled City

ing smaller communities, such as Salmon Arm, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Scotch Creek, etc., have dedicated courts or tennis courts with pickleball lines painted on them. Like new converts (addicts), we spread the word about pickleball everywhere we go. Pickleball players are a friendly, healthy and happy group. Laughter is a great part of our game. We desperately need assistance to find a outdoor home, even if it is just temporary. We need a safe surface. Many of our new friends are seniors and the court we have been assigned to the last few years is unsafe. The Sawicki Park tennis courts are riddled with large deep cracks. defends tourism centre location. You were quoted as saying," Decreasing visitor numbers and centralization will permit visitor services to reallocate resources towards greater online marketing, etc." Further in the article, you are quoted as saying, "For people turning left into Watson House (south booth) it's kind of scary, etc." Now, I ask you, how many motorists are going to drive through town and then turn around to find out what they've missed? Citizens of Vernon, give your heads a shake. Leona Lane NORTH WESTSIDE THANKS I had an incident at my house on Fintry Delta Road, which is a long way from Vernon down Westside Road. I phoned 911 for medical assistance. First arrived was North Westside Fire and Rescue and then B.C. Ambulance. I want to thank both teams, who worked very well together. I was impressed with their courtesy, their professional abilities and their positive attitude. William Bulmer

The asphalt surface is pitted and aged. Sand from the nearby playground spills onto the courts and many of our players (including myself) have fallen. We would like access to washrooms or at the very least, running water. The Vernon Pickleball Club (VPC) became official September 2013. Our number then was 130 and our membership now is 240. Our addicting sport is played all yearround. During fall and winter, we play at Priest Valley Gym and Vernon Christian School. Between the two venues, we have eight sessions a week. Our sessions are capped at 32 players. Often we have to turn players away. Recently, our club made a presentation to the District of Coldstream to request pickleball lines be added to Middleton Mountain tennis courts. We await its decision. We will be presenting the same request to Vernon city council March 24. We want to be clear. We only want to share a court in Vernon and a court in Coldstream. Our long range plan is to have dedicated pickleball courts built. Our outdoor season begin May 1 and we are without courts (a home). What is a pickleball addict to do? Cheri and Brian Burgess

Gypsy jazz ready to roll into Vernon JAN WALDON Special to The Morning Star

“It’s an honour to be part of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association’s back by popular request season – especially when it is such a special anniversary year.” That’s the unanimous reaction from Van Django, which is back in Vernon to perform for the NOCCA at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Friday. In an e-mail interview with three of the four Vancouver-based gypsy-jazz men, they admit music has always been a key factor in their lives. Over the years, each member has worked with a number of great musicians, enjoyed a wide variety of musical styles and has mastered, to some extent at least, several instruments. Q: How did you together as a group? Budge Schachte (guitarist): “Cameron Wilson (violinist) and I discussed starting a band while Cameron was guesting in Gypsalero – a band where Brent and I were playing. That began the trio form, and about a year later, we invited Finn Manniche (guitar and cello) to join us.” Brent Gubbels (acoustic bass): “I try to align myself with people who I like musically and personally.” Q: How did you settle on the style of gypsy jazz created during the 1930s by Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, the Quintette du Hot Club de France? Cameron Wilson (violinist): “I was lucky enough to see Stephane Grappelli live and it was a life-changing experience. It opened my eyes to what was truly possible on the violin.” Schachte: “My classical guitar mentor played some Hot Club de France recordings and I loved it. Later, I really caught the bug.” Gubbels: “I feel this music has a lot of joy and excitement built into it. It appeals to people who don’t normally listen to a lot

They react more emotionally to this than the current lot of jazz because they understand it and see the happiness in it.” Q: You have toured most of Canada, been to the States and played overseas as well. What are some of your most exciting experiences? Schachte: “I feel the six performances at a jazz and world music festival in Nanjing, China was a standout. We also played for a bunch of students who, later, wanted two of us to play short solo pieces – a first. “I also enjoyed playing my first sympho-

ny concert gig with Tango Paradiso, to soldout shows with the Victoria Symphony. And we created a symphony show and premiered it (2013) with the Delta Youth Symphony Orchestra. Cameron, Finn, Stephen and I wrote the arrangements. It was fun putting it together.” Wilson: “Our performances at Djangofest Northwest on Whidbey Island were very enjoyable and the festival was great, hearing all the internationally renowned gypsy jazz artists.” Gubbels: “I played with Nigel Kennedy

once. He sat in on a gig I was on. I also played on one Juno award-winning album and several Juno nominated ones.” Q: What kind of program will you be bringing to Vernon? Gubbels: “It will be a mixture of standards, originals written by us, favourites of Django and Stephane, plus some medleys of unlikely combinations of style and song.” Schachte: “The traditional repertoire will be interspersed with compositions by the band including medleys we call Django TV and Fist of Beethoven, which uses Ode to Joy with quotes from rock and jazz.” Q: What kind of music do you listen to in your spare time? Gubbels: “Most types.” Wilson: “At the moment, I’m listening to a great bluegrass group that (also) plays classical, pop and jazz. I also have been listening to a lot of Disney film music as my kids are getting into the films and shows at the moment.” Schachte: “I listen to anything that captures my spirit. My tastes are pretty eclectic. I find myself of two minds: one is the listener and the other is the learner. “Most of the time the learner wins out and I listen to stuff that I’m wanting to work into my playing.” Q: What are your future plans? Schachte and Wilson: “We’re preparing a Christmas CD and will create a touring show around it. We’re also ready to record our third CD with all our new arrangements and compositions.” Gubbels: “A new CD. More concerts. World domination, one city at a time.” Van Django will fill the Vernon Performing Arts Centre with its brand of gypsy jazz at 7:30 p.m. Friday. Individual tickets are $35 for adults, $17.50 for under 18 and $5 for eyeGo students at the Ticket Seller box office, 250-549-7469, www. ticketseller.ca.

Henry brings playful approach to her music AMANDA MORAZAIN Special to The Morning Star

The Vernon Jazz Club will be swinging to the music as Ali Henry and the Neville Bowman Quartet take the stage Saturday. Henry will be joined by all-star Okanagan musicians Craig Thomson on saxophone, Neville Bowman on piano, Bernie Addington on bass, and Martin Lord on drums. The band will be playing songs such as Black Orpheus (Antonio Carlos Jobim) and Why Don’t You Do Right

(Joseph “Kansas Joe” McCoy), as well a few jazzy originals titled My Love and Madamme X. The set list will also include tunes by Manhattan Transfer and Lambert Hendricks and Ross suggesting that the fine vocals of Neville Bowman will be featured. Henry, who hails from Kelowna but is now based out of Vancouver, is a singer songwriter with a background rooted in jazz and gospel music. “Ali’s playfully, collaborative approach to music, along with a tender yet exhilarating voice, makes an evening spent

with her a memorable experience,” says Eric Tompkins, a B.C. guitarist. In 2011, she released her debut CD, On My Mind, showcasing the same musicians the audience will hear this weekend. The album ranges from the warm, sensual rhythms of Brazil to the emotionally charged blues in the tradition of Etta James.

Seedlings begin their journey

his is only March and already I am running short of space for all my little seedlings. Because my greenhouse is not heated and the nights are still very cold, a lot of them have to stay in the house. Some of the soup peas I was testing for germination rate grew fast in the house. I had to do something with them as they were starting to hold themselves up by Jocelyne Sewell clinging to the cords from the living room blinds. I transplanted them to some bigger pots and put them in the cold frame on a sunny day. So far they have endured a few cold nights with the windows closed and don’t seem to have suffered too much. Spinach are packed with lutein for eye health and are a good source of anticancer compounds including vitamins A and C, beta-carotene and flavonoids. A lush bed of them will please any gardener and cook. Young seedlings with two true leaves are as easy to transplant as any veggie as long as you do everything you

can to prevent stress to your little spinach plants. This means having a rich bed ready and waiting, covered with a plastic tunnel, glass window frame, or other protective enclosure. Using spinach seedlings helps stretch the spring season gardenfresh spinach. Starting spinach seeds indoors is well worth doing. Although spinach germination can proceed but very slowly at temperatures near freezing, spinach seeds sprout best at temperature 59-68°F (15-20°C) — yet another reason to start your first garden spinach of the year indoors. As the weather warms in spring, you can directsow a second planting. You can alternate spinach seed with pinches of fastergrowing lettuce or arugula which can be pulled as the spinach needs more room to grow. You can also alternate rows of spinach with onions, which make good garden companions. Upright onions don’t crowd the spinach, and the spinach helps shade out weeds between rows of onions. Because of its saponin content, spinach is a useful pre-crop and does well planted with strawberries. Like all seeds, spinach germination takes place in three stages: soaking up moisture, growing new cells inside the seed, and finally the emergence of the radicle, or

sprout. Several studies have shown that spinach germination rates are higher and more uniform when the second stage is prolonged a bit, in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, before the seeds move on to a full sprout. Scientists call this process “priming” and it’s easy to do at home. About a week before planting, soak spinach seeds in room temperature water for 24 hours. Place the wet seeds on a paper towel, and allow to dry at room temperature for a day or two. Shift the seeds to an airtight container, and keep in a cool place for up to a week. The primed seeds will retain enough moisture to complete the first two stages of germination. After planting, primed spinach seeds germinate in only five days, compared to 10 or more for seeds straight out of the packet. I will try some and compare with my way of pre-germinating on damp towels. Getting a good stand comes down to spoiling your garden spinach, and the same tricks to promote spinach germination in spring come in handy in the fall. Spinach loses its enthusiasm for sprouting at temperatures over 75°F (24°C), so you can prime a few seeds before starting them indoors in late August, and directsow when temperatures cool down.

from Dean Chapple at H&R Block Medical expenses can be costly especially if you have to travel for treatment. The good news is that these expenses can often be deductible on your tax return and you may also qualify for the refundable medical credit. The most common deductions are prescription medications. Over the counter purchases are not generally deductible unless they apply to certain qualifying conditions such as incontinence. The cost of dental work, glasses, eye tests, chiropractic, massage therapy treatments, physio, chelation etc. are considered qualifying expenses for medical purposes. If you are unable to receive medical treatment close to home and you travel 40kms or more one way for treatment then the cost of travel can be deducted. If you travel 80 kms or more one way the cost of meals and lodging can also be deducted. CRA provides a simplified method for claiming travel expenses which means that you do not need to keep your gas and meal receipts. However, you will need proof that you did actually travel for medical reasons. This can be in the form of a letter from the specialist, appointment card etc. Come in and see our qualified tax specialists if you have any questions.

The humble spud is the star

here is an old Irish saying, “if beef ’s the king of meat, potato’s the queen of the garden world,” and in my childhood home, the potato, or as Dad referred to it, “the spud” was king indeed. Until I left home, I had no idea what a normal size serving of potatoes was; we all filled our plates at least half full, and often had seconds. My parents bought potatoes two sacks at a time; mind you, there Cathi Litzenberger were 10 of us at the table. Most assuredly, my first restaurant dinner was an eye-opener, with that little rounded scoop of potatoes — what was that all about? Surely I would starve! I checked my dad’s plate; he had two scoops, because, I was told, “he is a man.” Good grief! To this day the Irish in me loves potatoes; whipped

with butter and milk and served with gravy is probably my favourite but a close second is baked, served with butter and lots of salt. Today’s recipes are neither but are a nice change. Ultimate Twice-Baked Potatoes 4 large baking potatoes 8 slices bacon 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup milk 4 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided 8 green onions, sliced, divided Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

Parenting with Love and Logic

Thank You

Morning Star Staff

The Haugen Community Healthcare Society wishes to heartily thank all those who contributed so much to the overwhelming success of the Haugen Fundraising Gala Dinner and Auction held Valentine’s Day at the Royal York Clubhouse. So many gave so much in terms of time, effort and auction items, in particular Twin Anchors Houseboat Vacations of Sicamous who provided the Grand Prize, the Royal York Golf Club who provided the venue, Jason Armstrong of Kiss FM who provided publicity and together with our auctioneer, Jaqui Schneider, made the evening flow so well. And of course Shirley States, who initiated and engineered the whole thing. So heartfelt thanks to all who worked on and donated to the event, and also to all who attended and made it such an enjoyable success. Through our community’s generosity - and a wonderful evening as well H C the proceeds will help to ensure the continued H S operation of the Haugen Centre, staffed by its Haugen Community super doctors and their supportive staff.

and spinach until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, and add more heavy cream if the mixture is still too stiff to spread easily and bring to room temperature before using if making ahead of time. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a deep casserole dish, lay down a layer of potatoes so that the edges overlap slightly. Spread a thin layer of the creamy spinachartichoke mixture over the potatoes (it doesn’t have to be perfect), then sprinkle on a thin layer of cheese and top with 3-4 thin slices of butter. Top with another layer of potatoes, making sure the edges overlap slightly and repeat with the spinach-artichoke mixture until you more or less run out of ingredients. Arrange the final layer of potatoes on top, then brush generously with the melted butter and top with the Montery jack and Parmesan cheeses, then transfer to the oven. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes until potatoes are tender and top is golden-brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Telus has signed on as the title sponsor for the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation’s fifth annual Charity Classic May 25 at Predator Ridge Resort. “We are delighted that Telus has become our title sponsor,” said Cliff Oughtred, Charity Classic chairperson. “Telus has been a long-time generous supporter of Vernon

Jubilee Hospital Foundation and our Charity Classic. We are grateful for their commitment and increased support for this important fundraiser.” Predator Ridge has renewed its venue sponsorship for the event. In the first four years, the Charity Classic has raised more than $580,000 net. The format includes a hot buffet breakfast, a morning shot gun start, a Vegas scramble and $10,000 prize table – all followed by a gourmet dinner. “Through the generous support of Telus and Predator Ridge, and our other sponsors, we are off to a great start for this year’s tournament. We anticipate another sell-out event this year,” said Oughtred. All the funds raised will support the equipment needs to complete the sixth and seventh floors of the Polson tower at VJH. Registration is now underway at www.vjhfoundation.org. For more information, contact 250-558-1362.

Nordic areas work together Morning Star Staff

There are more cross-country skiers hitting the trails. Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre and Silver Star Mountain Resort, which are open until April 6, report increased activity this season, partly because of an agreement that finds both businesses working together. “We have seen a sharp rise in the purchase of dual area passes this season over last season and our supercamp numbers continue to grow,” said Scott Lemon, Sovereign Lake general manager. “The relationship between Scott Lemon Sovereign Lake and Silver Star is clearly working and we are now starting to see the benefits of working closer together.” Sovereign Lake and Silver Star are currently working on a memorandum of understanding with various government agencies to develop better infrastructure for cross-counGuy Paulsen try skiers and snowshoers. “We are very supportive of the new proposed day lodge at Sovereign Lake and improvements on ways to better connect the two trail systems” said Guy Paulsen, Silver Star nordic manager. “The existing day lodge at Sovereign is often stretched to its limits given the growth in the club’s programs, events, and people coming to ski and snowshoe. With more collaborative efforts planned between Sovereign Lake and Silver Star, we hope the funding required for these needed infrastructure improvements will come online soon.” The attraction of 105 kilometres of cross-country trail network has made inroads into international markets. “We are excited to be hosting the Victorian State cross-country ski team from Australia this coming December at the mountain,” said Anna Tilly, Silver Star sales manager. “The team’s organizers were very impressed by the joint trail network and the excellent facilities both Sovereign Lake and Silver Star have to offer.”

Chamber hosting trade show kevin parnell Black Press

The Lake Country Chamber of Commerce is stepping into unchartered territory, promoting local businesses with the inauguralBusiness After Hours Trade Show. Featuring 40 booths and five different presentations and workshops, the event takes place today from 4 to 8 p.m. at Winfield Memorial Hall. Corrinne Cross “This has been done at other chambers quite successfully,” said Corrinne Cross, executive director. “We were looking at ways to promote the businesses in Lake Country and the chamber. The reaction was so positive that it was a huge success even before it started.” In fact, the reaction among the business community was so swift, booths were sold out in no time and the chamber is now looking at a larger venue next year if it hosts a similar event. “We put the word out on a Tuesday and I think

by the Thursday, we were 80 per cent sold out,” said Cross. “It’s been very well embraced. We’re actually thinking next year to do it a little later in the year so we can use the arena (after the ice is out).” Admission to the event is free and there are lots of door prizes as well as a concession hosted by the Rotary Club. “The benefit to doing this is that our businesses get out there and get a chance to show off what they do best,” said Cross. “We’re looking at this for promotion and for marketing the chamber and the local businesses and helping them be successful.” Lee Casperson, General Manager of Vernon Kia, would like to congratulate Adam Figley for achieving

Vees rally for Game 3 victory KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

For 20 minutes, it looked like Game 3 was a lock for the Vernon Vipers. After 40, the Penticton Vees became really interested and the game appeared up for grabs. With four minutes and change remaining, and the Vees outskating the Vipers, it appeared like Vernon may hang on tight and swipe a win. And even when 5-foot-6 Penticton centre Cody DePourcq levelled the score with 4:37 to play, most of the 1,800 fans at Kal Tire Place figured the Vipers could re-group and nail an overtime victory. Minnesota rookie Matt Serratore decided overtime was not an option, capping the Vees’ comeback 2:06 after DePourcq connected, in a 4-3 B.C. Hockey League playoff win. Game 4 in the Interior Conference best-of-seven final series went Tuesday night in Vernon. Game 5 goes Thursday night in Penticton. The Snakes have held 3-1 leads in all three games, giving up two early third-period goals in a 5-3 loss Saturday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre. The Game 3 loss hurt the most. “It’s tough to put ourselves in position to win and just give it away,” said Viper forward TJ Dumonceaux. “We let off the gas too way too much and when we’re in a spot like that, we can’t give it up like that. A lot of guys were standing around wishing someone else could do it.” Captain Ryan Renz said the Vipers would try to push more offensively with a lead, in Game 4. Said Renz: “When they’re playing from behind, they’re coming with a lot of speed and we wanna keep getting pucks in deep and keep getting on top of their d-men and I think we got away from that a bit, and they started creating more chances and building a little momentum off that and found the back of the net for those two and win the game.” Penticton outshot Vernon 33-19, including a 9-4 edge in the third period. “They never quit, they kept coming,” said Dumonceaux, of the first-place Vees. “Their top players were their top players tonight and that was the difference. Our top players had good games, but I think they can give us more.” Dumonceaux (his fifth of the post-season) put the Vipers up just 1:43 in, with assists going to Demico Hannoun, who sweetly dangled over the blueline, and Mason Blacklock. Serratore equalized three minutes later, for his second of the playoffs. Brendan Persley registered his fifth of the postseason, grabbing his own rebound and banking a shot off a d-man’s stick and starting goalie Hunter Miska’s backside, at 7:07.Brett Mulcahy pocketed

his 10th, just 2:34 later, to make it 3-1 Vipers midway through the first. D-man Josh Bryan found Mulcahy on the doorstep and Mulcahy waited a second and flipped the puck over Miska’s glove. The Vees pulled Miska for Olivier Mantha after Mulcahy’s powerplay snipe, and the Vees settled down immediately. First star Brad McClure converted on a screened mid-point shot on a Vees’ powerplay at 5:17 of the second period with d-man Brett Beauvais drawing the helper. It was Penticton’s first powerplay goal in a dozen series chances. McClure was also first star in Game 2. DePourcq worked wonders in the corner, cut in front and put a low shot past Viper goalie Austin Smith for the 3-3 equalizer. McClure had the assist. Serratore buried a rebound after McClure circled around the slot and fired a wrister which was blocked and came bouncing back to Serratore. Said Penticton head coach Fred Harbinson, who was expecting overtime after DePourcq tied things: “It was a character win. It wasn’t looking good in the first period. For whatever reason, we were making big-time mistakes, turning the pucks over. You gotta give them credit; they came out guns a-blazing, which we warned out guys they would. It just seemed like every mistake we made, ended up in the back of the net. We hit a couple of posts in the first period and luckily for us, it was only 3-1 and we kind of re-set between the first and second, and from then on, I thought we were real good.” DePourcq, whose father, John, won the 1986 Centennial Cup with the Penticton Knights and is head coach of the KIJHL Summerland Steam, is the only player still around from the Vees’ 2012 Royal Bank Cup roster. He had a 20-goal regular season. “He’s a great example for what really matters,” said Harbinson. “You can be the biggest guy in the world, but if you don’t have a heart, you’re in trouble and this kid’s the complete opposite. He’s not very big, but he’s got a massive heart. You can see he’s very determined. I actually thought he lost the puck and then all of a sudden, he kicked it back to his stick and made the play, and obviously energized our group.” McClure, who has nine goals and 16 points in the playoffs, skated miles and wasn’t surprised to see the Vees respond after the net detective switch. “We’ve had good goaltending all year and when one guy has a rough night, we need to pick him up and that’s what the boys did tonight. We felt the comeback. We owed it to our goalies, we owed it to each other and I think it showed great character by all our players.”

Vernon boxers primed for big card TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Two provinces collide this weekend at the Vernon Rec Centre auditorium with Western Canadian amateur boxing supremacy on the line. More than 90 boxers from B.C. and Alberta will square off over the two-day event, hosted by CounterPunch Boxing Club. “This will be the biggest amateur boxing event in B.C. in the last decade,” said Tony Stamboulieh, president of Boxing B.C. and head coach at CounterPunch. The bell rings Friday night at 7 p.m. The sweet science picks up again with cards Saturday afternoon at 1 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10. Advance tickets are available at Breakaway Fitness and the Bean Scene. Male and female boxers 11 and up, along with Canadian champions, are confirmed. The Canadian champions will be fighting out of the senior division. Kenny Lally, who hails from Prince George, is a five-time national winner. The Brown brothers from Mission, Cody and Jesse, who are Canadian gold medalists, will also fight. Jessie won a silver at youth Commonwealth Games and is a three-time Canadian champion. Cody won the “Best Boxer of the tournament” at the nationals in Quebec last December in the 60kilogram division. Vernon will have plenty of athletes testing their talents in the ring. Adam Woods, 17, will be headlining Saturday afternoon. Woods is a Fulton grad and has been boxing for a year. He enters Saturday’s tilt with a 1-1 amateur record. He will be fighting in the middleweight division. “I’m very excited for this weekend. My last few fights have been cancelled, or other fighters couldn’t make them. This is my chance.” Woods expects to take on a Quesnel fighter. Some fighters find out about their opponents a few days in advance, others not until right before the fight. Their match up depends on how many entries there are in each age group and weight class. Usman Raza is a Vernon product, born and raised. Raza, 21 has been training with Stamboulieh for three years in the welterweight division. Raza’s favourite part of boxing is defence. “I love the technical side of boxing,” said Raza. “So much strategy comes in with defence and

In the youngest age division, Hunter Byles, 11, is glowing with anticipation for his first fight. “I am a little nervous, but also very excited,” said Byles. “I’m just going to try my hardest out there.” Byles moved to Vernon five years ago from Richmond. Byles started in judo but it didn’t feel right. A family friend recommended boxing for the young man and he hasn’t looked back since. He has been training since last September. He enjoys sparring with other kids and working hard. Vernon Boxing Club and CounterPunch Boxing Club will be showcasing fighters this weekend. Boxing B.C. is governed by Boxing Canada and the International Amateur Boxing Association. All coaches working within Boxing B.C. are NCCP qualified. Gurinder Khabra of Counterpunch lost his match against fsvoured Zakiah Hughes of Seattle by one point at the recent 66th Annual Tacoma Golden Gloves tournament.

The Salmon Arm Silvertips are in second place after three games in the B.C. female Midget Tier 1 Hockey Championships at the Shaw Centre. There are 11 Vernon and area players with the Silvertips, including tournament standout Jenna Lazar, who has three goals and an assist. “She goes out there and battles hard every shift for us,” said assistant coach Rob Bauml, of Vernon. Salmon Arm had a large comeback Monday night in a 3-3 tie with Cranbrook. “We just needed to get our legs moving,” said JAMES MURRAY/BLACK PRESS SPORTS Bauml. “We won way more battles to pucks in the Salmon Arm Silvertips’ Jenna Lazar and Maddison Turner work together to put second half.” one past the Cranbrook Ice goalie in a 3 -3 tie in the B.C.

Vernon’s Heather Wurtele won the women’s title in the inaugural Ironman 70.3 in Monterrey, Mexico last weekend. The Mexican event is a destination race for athletes and their familes. A fast pro field was on hand along with over 2,000 age group competitors. In the women’s race, Helle Frederiksen of Denmark headed into turn one first with Celine Scharer of Switzerland on her heels. Karen Thibodeau of Canmore, Alta. was over a minute back in third, with race contenders Wurtele and Cait Snow of Brockton, Mass. almost three minutes off the pace. Wurtele proceeded to work her way through the field and into second place by 25-kilometres of the bike ride, one hour and 25 minutes behind Frederiksen. The Fulton grad remained patient and methodically chewed into Frederiksen’s lead, which put their closest rival (Snow) over eight minutes off the pace. Wurtele had a tentative seven-second advantage over Frederiksen as the duo dismounted their bikes. Once on the run, Wurtele stretched out her lead with each passing kilometer as Frederiksen faded. A solid bike and run allowed Wurtele to record a 5:49 win over Frederiksen. The fleet-footed Snow’s fastest run split of the day was only 20 seconds faster than Wurtele’s, but was good enough to allow the American to round out the podium.

Koersen skates for gold KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor

Brookelyn Koersen was seven when she performed her first freeskate solo to The Bear Necessities from the movie Jungle Book. She had a a blast, won a gold medal and was instantly hooked on figure skating. Now 15, Koersen is still in love with the sport, pocketing gold in the recent B.C./Yukon Super Series StarSkate Finals at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna. Koersen, a member of the Armstrong/Enderby Skating Club, topped the Star 5 (13 & Over class) Junior Bronze Freeskate in a field of 25. She is coached by Tannis Crerar of Vernon, head coach in Armstrong/Enderby. “I don’t really have a style; I like to try new things,” said Koersen, who attends Pleasant Valley Secondary in Armstrong. “I feel fairly comfortable competing. I get nervous beforehand, but as soon as I’m on the ice I am fine. “Tannis makes me stronger because of her amazing attention to detail, her patience and her dedication. She knows exactly what to say to me before I step on the ice. She knows when I need encouragement, whether it be a hug or some tough love.” Crerar and Koersen chose music from a skating website and put the solo together for the StarSkate. “The most difficult element is my double salchow. I am hoping to move up a level in skating next year and will have more difficult elements. “I skate because I love it. I love having something to work on and challenge myself. As well, I love to perform my program for people. I have gained many amazing friends through skating. “My parents (John and Susan) and family (older sister Kirsten Pliszka is married with two children) have always been huge role models for me. They have endless support for whatever I want to do.” Brookelyn joined the Armstrong/Enderby club when she was five. She has found that Crerar’s skill and committment to her skaters shows in their accomplishments on the ice. “She is a hard worker and she really takes her skating very seriously,” said Crerar. “She takes what I teach her and works on it until she accomplishes it. She’s strong, but absolutely beautiful on the ice which is an amazing combination.

Brookelyn Koersen receives a gold medal and flowers at the B.C./Yukon Super Series StarSkate in Kelowna. “I tell my skaters they have to be strong out there, but they also better look like a ballerina.” Koersen, currently in Europe (she spent St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland) on a school trip, earns straight A’s in class and is a senior member of the Armstrong 4-H Swine Club, exhibiting and competing with her market hogs in the 4-H classes at the Interior Provincial Exhibition each year. She also works after school and on weekends at Askew’s grocery store in Armstrong. Her father runs a mixed farm (hay, beef, grain) just north of Armstrong. She tends to get quite fond of her hogs and always finds it hard to send them away to market when the IPE is over. She is just as fond of skating. “I will probably compete until the end of Grade 12 and then go off to university. I hope to stay in the sport. I would be interested in coaching or perhaps being a judge in the future.” Crerar plans to help Koersen reach the Senior Bronze Ladies level next year, meaning Brookelyn needs to perfect a few more double jumps.

The

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder FIRST REDOUBLE, THEN A NEW SUIT Yesterday, we saw that if the opener bids one of a suit, the next player makes a takeout double, and the responder bids a lowerranking suit at the twolevel, this shows a weak hand. So, what does it mean if the responder redoubles first, then bids a new suit on the second round? Right -- logically, it must be forcing. The responder has promised at least 10 highcard points and the hunt is on for the right contract for the opening side. In today’s deal, after responder’s three-club rebid, South might continue with a three-diamond bid. Then North would presumably cue-bid three

hearts to ask his partner to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. Here, of course, South would be happy to oblige. And, as in the given sequence, South just plunges straight into our favorite contract when we have game values but no major-suit fit. (Note that five clubs fails, but five diamonds makes.) West leads the heart king. What should South do? Unless the heart suit is blocked, if declarer loses a trick before he has taken nine, he rates to concede at least that lost trick and four hearts. So, South should concentrate on getting seven diamond winners. After taking the first (or second) heart trick, South cashes the diamond ace.

Then, when West discards, declarer must be careful to unblock dummy’s 10. Next, South leads a spade to the board, plays the diamond five to his nine, runs that suit, and cruises home with an overtrick. Always watch the spotcards closely to see if a suit blockage is threatened.

July 20, 1942 to March 12, 2014

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother on March 12, 2014. Lena was born in Tarvis, Alberta in 1917 to German immigrant farmers, the third of seven children. Mom learned the value of hard work growing up on the family farm. She didn͛t have much formal educaƟon but learned pracƟcal nursing on the job; something that she was always very proud of her whole life. She always cared for people; whenever she could help someone, she did. Mom worked full Ɵme yet found the energy to raise 3 children and volunteer at church and in the community. Mom͛s ChrisƟan educaƟon and faith were always strong and very important in her life. Mom led a very acƟve life with interests in playing cards, bowling, poƩery, craŌs, and ceramics ʹ winning awards for some of her work but her true passion was dancing. From the barn dances of her youth to the square dancing, round dancing, paƩern dancing, and line dancing in her later life. With her square dancing clubs she traveled and danced on cruises to Alaska, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and through the Panama Canal. However, the highlight of every year was the PenƟcton Jamboree where she and thousands of dancers gathered and danced for a week. Lena married David Hessler in 1939 unƟl his death in 19ϴ9. She married again to Jim EversĮeld in 1995 unƟl his death in 2006. Lena had a wonderful sense of humour, a glorious smile, and always loved a good party. Lena is survived by one son: Walter Hessler (Shelley) of Comox, BC; two daughters: Patricia Ratcliīe (Linda Grey) of Armstrong, BC, Marie MacDonald (Colin) of Dodsland, SK; grandchildren: Andrew Hessler (Lacy) of Comox, BC, Sandy Ratcliīe of Vernon, BC, Douglas Ratcliīe (Melissa) of Hamilton, OE, Cleveland Fennell (Chris) of Vernon, BC, Tammy Sanders (Jeī Lapierre) of Langley, BC, Kristen Golke of Aldergrove, BC, Jeana Buhler (Cory) of Kelowna, BC; and great grandchildren: Gage. Aslyn and Hailey Hessler all of Comox, BC, Dallas AbboƩ and Courtney Eiebergall of Langley, BC, and Ethan Buhler of Kelowna, BC. We wish to say a special thanks to all the wonderful caring staī and volunteers at Hillside Village in Salmon Arm where mom was very happy and to the friends she made there. Also, we wish to thank Doctor Rose who was so kind and caring. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 21, 2014 at St. John͛s Lutheran Church (5151 Alain Road, Vernon, BC) with a burial to follow at Armstrong Spallumcheen Cemetery. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternaƟves.ca

The BC Government is proposing to ofﬂoad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efﬁcient program that costs taxpayers less.

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that proﬁts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:

The Art of Date Selection We have all heard that timing is everything and being in the right place, at the right time, with the right actions is important. But did you know there is a science to this? Most everyone views the days of the week as Monday through Sunday; however I view these quite differently. Each day has attributes that will support certain activities like weddings, new construction, company launches etc. One of my favourite quotes is “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” I can see which invisible attributes are strong or weak in a day and how to utilize them successfully. I can see when there is support for you and when there is not: Date Selection can be your strongest ally. Knowing where to be, when to be there, and what to do will help you achieve a successful outcome – and that truly is my goal for you.

Being an Executor is not for the faint of heart. When asked which one of the children should be appointed as executor, we jokingly respond by stating that the client should pick the child they like the least! After all, being an executor is a miserable job. Aside from sometimes difficult to unravel assets, an executor, once started on the job of being an executor, cannot simply withdraw. An executor can be held personally liable for mistakes, unpaid taxes and the wrath of the family for not distributing the estate quickly enough to the beneficiaries’ taste. If I were to offer you a job where you were not certain of getting paid (taxable by the CRA, at that), be responsible for all liabilities, known and unknown and no idea how long this job would take, would you accept that job? I didn’t think so. Would you know how to minimize the tax implications of what you are doing? At Laarakker Law, Wills, Probates and Estate Planning is not just something we do; it is something we specialize in. After all, the legacy you leave behind is more important than what you leave behind.

Mortgage Broker

A collateral mortgage is a loan attached to a promissory note and backed up by the collateral security of a mortgage on a property. • Your mortgage is registered for the same or more than your property value. • Your collateral mortgage may not be released even if you pay off your mortgage. Your lender may be able to seize equity to cover other unsecured debts such as Visa cards, loans or Lines of Credits with the same lender. • Having a collateral mortgage may affect your negotiating ability with your lender at renewal; you cannot simply switch your mortgage to a new lender. You must pay legal fees to have your collateral mortgage released in order to register a new lender. This limits your choice to only your lender at time of renewal, where your existing lender may give you a less competitive interest rate. Ask your lender or your lawyer if your upcoming mortgage will be registered as a collateral mortgage. On any existing mortgages, check your legal document called a Form B. If your mortgage is a running account, you have a collateral mortgage. Your lender may have a registered charge against your title even if your mortgage was paid off. Understand the fine print when registering your next mortgage! Contact me with any questions you may have. E&O/OAC

Q: A:

Now that spring is here, are there any suggestions as to what I can do for maintenance on the exterior of my home?

There is always the obvious spring clean up, washing your siding can get the exterior of your home looking fresh again. Cleaning all the winter debris off your roof is another. Whenever you consider pressure washing your house &/or your roof you should always hire a professional who has experience in that type of cleaning; for someone who does not know what they are doing, it is very easy to damage your home or your roof with a pressure washer. Extreme care must be taken, & some types of roofs should not be pressure washed. Asphalt type roofs should not be pressure washed as it will remove the protective granular coating & your roof will then become damaged from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. It is a good idea to have torn or damaged gutters fixed right away as rain water running behind the gutters can damage the fascia boards & even find its way into the roof framing system. Water is one of the #1 enemies of a home & it should always be controlled so that it does not damage your home. A small amount of time & money invested now will save you thousands of dollars later if you did nothing. Remember the old saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!”

Hearing loss can exist in many forms. Trouble understanding speech is often an indication that you may have a hearing loss in the higher speech frequencies. Typically, people with this kind of hearing loss can get by in quiet situations when there are no other competing or masking sounds, but struggle when there is. A hearing test will help to identify where your hearing is affected. Counselling, hearing aids and other assistive listening devices along with coping strategies may help you hear better.
