City targets road maintenance cutbacks RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Financial pressures could transform Vernon’s transportation network. City council has endorsed an integrated transportation network that could see road widths reduced, some aging sidewalks abandoned, maintenance prolonged on some roads and gutters replaced by ditches. “It will not be business as usual,” said Mark Dowhaniuk, infrastructure engineer. “We will provide a functional transportation network and remain financially sustainable by

are reduced, fewer sidewalks are replaced and the paved surface for rural residential roads is reduced. Some local roads may not see asphalt renewal for 60 years. “It’s not much different than what we’re seeing now,” said Dowhaniuk. Alternate technology, such as grinding and reusing asphalt, could be initiated for major paving projects. Instead of current storm water controls, there could be a move to ditches in some rural neighbourhoods. “I think we’ll get push back on
no curb and gutter,” said Coun. Brian Quiring. If the plan were to proceed, developers or neighbourhoods could pay for higher standards such as sidewalks or curb and gutter. “In Calgary, if anyone wants street lights or a park, they pay for it,” said Rob Dickinson, engineering manager. While council has endorsed a certain direction, city staff will continue to work on the integrated transportation framework. The final document will be presented to council in the future for consideration.

Enderby fights to keep doctors A new physician in Enderby lives in Coldstream and that means she can’t access government incentives such as additional education, pay increments or hiring locums. “She opted not to live in this community for a very good family reason,” said Cyr. “She’s here for the term of her contract but we’re worried about retention.” Cyr points out that Coldstream isn’t that far from Enderby and it shouldn’t matter if a physician decides to live in Salmon Arm, Vernon or Armstrong. “People in our community really don’t care where a doctor lives as long as there is a physician when they go to the office,” he said. If incentives are not available, Cyr
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
There’s growing fear that bureaucracy could send Enderby doctors packing. City council is demanding a meeting with MLA Greg Kyllo and Health Minister Terry Lake about physicians being unable to access benefits if they don’t reside in the community they Howie Cyr practise in. “We want to discuss the policies that affect rural physicians,” said Mayor Howie Cyr.
is concerned that doctors will bypass Enderby altogether. “If the climate is not healthy and welcoming for physicians, word gets around to other doctors,” he said. While linking residency to work may have once made sense, Cyr says most agencies have dropped those restrictions and he points to an RCMP officer who lives in Enderby but is based out of Surrey. “The world has changed,” he said of people basing their residency on issues such as lifestyle, family and income. Cyr insists that his council must meet with Lake because the Ministry of Health dictates the rules. “Interior Health’s hands are tied. They are bound by the policy.”
A suspect is being sought in a violent robbery. The owner of Hagemann Jewellers on 30th Avenue was struck in the head by a hammer Saturday as he confronted an individual attempting to steal jewelry. “Any time an individual experiences a robbery and the suspect assaults you, it’s very traumatic,” said Gord Molendyk. The public is being asked to provide any information that may identify the suspect. “We hope someone may have seen him leave (the scene),” said Molendyk. The incident occurred before 11 a.m. when an individual wearing a white Halloween mask entered the store and began smashing display case glass with a hammer. The owner confronted the male suspect with a baton and swung it at the suspect, but the suspect hit the owner in the head with the hammer and fled on foot eastbound on 30th Avenue. “The police service dog was unable to get a track,” said Molendyk, adding that the individual did steal a couple of pieces of jewelry. The store owner was taken to hospital, but the extent of his injuries are not known. “The owner appeared to be bleeding from the head,” said Molendyk. The male suspect is about six feet tall with light brown hair. He was wearing a dark sweater, a scarf and a fedora-style hat with dark pants. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the RCMP at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Legal proceedings continue for Foerster The first charge is in connection with an alleged home invasion in Cherryville on Oct. 19, 2004 and involves a 19-year-old woman. The second relates to an alleged attack at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden escort agency April 12, 2005. As a result of that incident, he is facing one count of sexual assault and unlawful confinement. If “hypothetically” he were convicted of those crimes, Currie said his sentence would be served concurrent to the sentence he’s now facing. A guilty verdict would not even alter his 25-year parole eligibility. It’s something Taylor Van Diest’s mother Marie sees as a fault in the system.
KATHY MICHAELS Black Press
Matthew Foerster was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Taylor Van Diest, but the justice system has yet to see the last of the Cherryville man. Lingering allegations will bring Foerster back to Kelowna next month. Crown Counsel Ian Currie said two outstanding files remain and on May 5 Foerster will return to court to schedule a trial for those matters.

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes believes it should take longer for individuals convicted of serious crimes to be eligible for parole. On Monday, Mayes tabled a private member’s bill in the House of Commons that seeks to extend the parole eligibility period for those convicted of abduction, heinous acts of sexual assault and murder from the current 25 years up to a maximum of 40 years. “Currently, any Canadian convicted of both first or second degree murder is given an automatic life sentence, but the provision
“The bill targets sadistic murderers.” — Colin Mayes
barely puts an offender in jail for longer than 25 years, the time at which first-degree murderers are first eligible for parole,” he said. “The bill targets sadistic murderers. Sadistic criminals convicted of such heinous crimes are never granted parole; thus, the hearings are unnecessary and are extremely painful for the victims’ families to endure.” Mayes says his bill is

about saving the families of the victims from having to go through the agony of attending parole hearings every two years after the convict’s 25-year sentence expires. “When passed, this bill will assist families by not having them deal with the re-enactment of what happened to their loved ones, over and over again. Families need closure,” said Mayes.

Pork Prices Increase Pork producers are facing a short term shortage in the supply of pork products and therefore our customers may notice a sizable increase in pork prices over the coming weeks.

Unfortunately some things are beyond our control, and it is our hope that once supplies return to normal levels there will be a correction in prices.

“I am certainly hoping (those victims) will have their justice as well,” Van Diest said. “The maximum is 25 years, so whether this goes forward or not, what justice will they get? He’ll serve no further time.” Van Diest said she’s not heard if the women in those cases will go through the court process, but can imagine that the prospect of reliving Foerster’s alleged actions “would just be too traumatizing.” Also facing legal repercussions from Taylor Van Diest’s murder is Stephen Foerster, Matthew’s father. He’ll be in a Vernon courtroom May 5 for a charge of accessory after the fact to murder.

Vernon RCMP were led on a chase through a busy area Sunday. At about 12:30 p.m., officers attempted to check a Chevy Cavalier at 32nd Street and 43rd Avenue, but the vehicle sped off and went through the Best Western Vernon Lodge parking lot and out on to 33rd Street near the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. “A witness told our officers at one point the vehicle drove on the sidewalk near the recreation complex,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson. Other witnesses helped direct officers to where the vehicle was
last seen on 34th Street. Three male suspects were located and arrested after fleeing the vehicle while a female passenger was not found. The 26-year-old Vernon man driving the car is expected to face charges of dangerous driving, flight from police, breach of a conditional sentence order from Nanaimo, and a driving prohibition from 100 Mile House. He was expected to appear in court Monday. Hummer recovered A stolen vehicle has been found thanks to the help of a conscientious resident. A resident called the RCMP after he was approached by a black Hummer on
Noble Canyon Road in Coldstream April 4. The occupants of the vehicle asked him for a good location to go offroading. “The man provided the police with the plate number for the vehicle,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson, adding that it was determined the vehicle had been stolen from Armstrong April 3. Officers converged on Noble Canyon and four people were taken into custody. The 25-year-old Vernon man driving the Hummer is expected to face charges of possession of stolen property. As for the passengers in the vehicle, Molendyk says, “It
appears he (driver) invited the others to go four-by-fouring.”

Legal wrangling has placed the future of medicinal marijuana in rural communities in limbo. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has been preparing a bylaw on where medicinal marijuana can be produced. But that process could be impacted by the outcome Jackie Pearase of senior-level court action. “We don’t know what to do with this based on the court judgement,” said Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director. A judge decided that people who were permitted to grow medical marijuana in their homes could continue to do so after a federal ban April 1 so
those patients could launch a constitutional challenge of Ottawa’s move towards large-scale production. The federal government is challenging the ruling. “There is uncertainty over how this whole process will move forward,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director. “We’re going to proceed with the bylaw but we’re going to get more information first.” EAAC has proposed allowing medical marijuana production in industrial and agricultural zones but there is a concern that B.C. Assessment will only apply the cheaper farm assessment to industrial land where marijuana is grown and processed. “Farm status would mean a huge reduction in taxation ability,” said Fairbairn, adding that could undermine a community’s financial resources for providing public services.

Zee Marcolin, Greater Vernon Water manager. “We felt we were operating the well in the best possible way. The well had never experienced any (quality) advisory and it was better quality water than surface water.” Despite RDNO’s confidence, the court disagreed and the district was found guilty and sentenced on all charges in January 2014. “There are tons of lessons to be learned,” said Marcolin, adding that all water utilities should review recommendations from consultants’ reports and ensure there is a papertrail when it comes to actions taken. “Don’t put the reports on shelves. Identify why you are not doing something with it.” Marcolin also cautioned OBWB directors
that they carry significant liabilities but have no authority when it comes to some matters. “Manure spreading occurs but you can’t do anything about it,” she said. “Legislation says you must put in filtration but if you go for voter assent and the voters say no, what do we do?” Another factor no one has control over is extreme weather such as the 2010 rain storm. During her presentation, Marcolin pointed out that some old drainage and irrigation pipes were located and their existence didn’t show up in any files, but Greater Vernon Water was still held responsible for them. “There is hidden stuff people don’t know about and if this is replicated in other places, it’s worrisome,” said director Keith Fielding.

It is Vernon’s stately building. And, on Saturday, the Vernon Courthouse turns 100. The public is invited to attend the open house celebrations between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. “There will be tours of the courthouse, there will be a number of lawrelated groups who will host displays,” said Rob Culos of the Vernon Bar Association, which is hosting the open house. “There will be mock trials conducted by high school students and there will be a very rare, special sitting of Supreme Court at about 1:30 p.m.” The public will be served cake and hot dogs, and there will be a chance to see all of the courthouse, including the jail cells in the building’s basement. The Vernon Courthouse is one of the most impressive public buildings in all of B.C. “It is one of the oldest buildings that has been in continuous use for 100 years,” said Culos. “It was the first of 10 courthouses commissioned before the start of the First World War, and our

Neighbours pitch in for jobs plan RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Borders are being ignored when it comes to creating jobs. The Regional District of North Okanagan board has unanimously endorsed an employment lands action plan. “Our community is not just Vernon and this is part of the co-operative effort we have,” said Rob Sawatzky, a Vernon director. “It’s a commitment of funds from our regional district neighbours and that’s an important measure to consider.”

Flex your mussels
kanagan residents are increasingly concerned about being invaded, but the Great Lakes basin has experienced the nightmare for years. Zebra mussels are native to eastern Europe, but in 1988 they arrived in the Great Lakes in the ballast of freighters. Since then, they have spread like wildfire. “The annual cost of keeping water intake systems free of the mussels is about $250 million in the Great Lakes region, according to the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute,” states an April 5 Associated Press report in the Fond du Lac Reporter. “Zebra mussels also have been tied to outbreaks of toxin-producing blue-green algae. Swimmers are known to cut their feet on the shells. And along Lake Michigan, zebra musRichard Rolke sels play a role in making many beaches smelly and unwelcoming because they spur the growth of a type of algae known as cladophora, which washes ashore with the mussels and other organic material and rots.” A University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh economics student has suggested that zebra mussels may actually improve water quality and that could boost property values. While that may be the case in Wisconsin, Okanagan officials have suggested the opposite could happen here. “This is a nerve issue for people in the valley. They really don’t want this to happen,” said Toby Pike, with the Okanagan Basin Water Board. Many people have invested large dollars in lakefront properties while public beaches are jammed every summer with locals and tourists. Imagine what would happen if people began ripping open their feet on shells? Beaches could become vacant and those once

desirable lakefront paradises may drop in value. OBWB has estimated it could cost $43 million a year to manage the mussels if they arrive in the valley, and that is the impact on everything from maintaining water infrastructure to tourism. Trying to be proactive, OBWB has demanded that the federal government allow border guards to prohibit the entry of any contaminated vessels into Canada. It also wants a provincial inspection program that would cover all B.C. borders, including with Alberta. However, Ottawa and Victoria twiddle their thumbs while the mussels move ever closer to the Okanagan. “We need to light a fire boys and girls,” director Allan Patton told his OBWB colleagues. Increasingly, it’s obvious that the spark for that fire must come from rank-and-file citizens. Senior governments may wake up and take action if there is a groundswell from the public.

Given that, time is running out to prepare ourselves.
Normally, elections in other provinces are of little interest to B.C. residents. But the Parti Quebecois mused about separatism and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent Canadian history. Pauline Marois borrowed a page from Adrian Dix’s unsuccessful campaign in B.C. a year ago. She went off script part way through the campaign, bringing up separatism after her star candidate Pierre-Karl Peladeau proclaimed the need for independence. It was her “Kinder Morgan” moment, damage she could not repair. Even though some of those who voted against her support separatism, very few want a referendum any time soon. Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error. Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country and a poor job creation record. Any talk of separatism causes investors to give it the cold shoulder. Marois seemed unperturbed by all this. The charter would not pass muster when challenged in court, so in the last week of the campaign, Marois stated she would use the notwithstanding clause to ensure it took effect. While some undoubtedly cheered, that was another reminder to many voters just how off course the PQ was. New premier Philippe Couillard has stated Canada is a great country to be part of. At the same time, he plans to vigorously defend the French language. However, he extended an olive branch to other Quebecers in his victory speech, which is a good omen. Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues Meanwhile, the PQ is now leaderless, with Marois having resigned on Monday night. Perhaps its days are numbered. — Langley Times

Visitor centre's role has changed
am writing this letter in support of moving the Vernon visitor centre to a more central location. With the introduction of GPS and other smart phone technologies, random vehicle-based visitor stops at info centres have decreased. The demand for directional assistance is not as necessary. Siri anyone? I feel that a lot of the observations by locals concerning the visitor centre have confused the function of tourism services with the need for an RV pit stop (I’ve heard them called rest areas). The role of the visitor centre has changed. A bigger percentage of our tourists are now destination travellers or family and friends. As a tourist provider in several locations around Vernon, it has become increasingly evident to me that directing tourists and families to drive out of town to gather info on activities, events, dining, accommodation etc is just plain silly. I believe the 39th Avenue location will be a place where locals and out of town guests will more readily access information on the very attractions they came here for and I believe this will inspire visitors to see and do more. The staff of the centre LOCATION, LOCATION I have read with interest the recent letters from folks who are baffled by the recommendation and approved rezoning which makes way for closure of the two existing tourist information centres on either end of the City of Vernon. I am also one of those giving my head a shake at the decision. How many cities can boast of not one, but two such ideal locations: highly visible, direct access from a main road, with lots of space to easily park rigs of all sizes and for the travel-weary to get out and stretch their legs? Access to the single, proposed smaller location is awkward at best and won't be as safe for travellers who are unfamiliar with the city and traffic patterns. From a personal perspective, if I am travelling through an unfamiliar area, I not only appreciate easy access to visible information centres, but if they are too difficult to find or access, I will keep moving.
will be able to interact more with the community. I believe a lot of thought and research went into choosing this location. It is accessible from both Highway 97 and 27th Street. It already has a sanidump, it is already owned by the city. It is close to hotels, restaurants, downtown, city hall, the rec complex, the Performing Arts Centre, Kal Tire Place and the Vernon Winter Carnival office. It will be pet friendly, and believe it or not, RVs can turn in there. They along with plenty of buses have been doing it for years.
Who wants the added stress and frustration of having to watch for and read signage while driving, then try to backtrack if you find yourself in the wrong lane and miss the turn? Is this a fiscally responsible decision? There will be costs associated with decommissioning the two existing sites and setting up the new one. Is there a plan to repurpose the abandoned locations? I would also be interested in public clarification regarding the true intent of this plan. Is it to encourage visitors to remain in the area longer and spend their tourist dollars here, or to actually try to decrease visitor numbers? If the goal is truly to invite and encourage travellers to stop and stay in the area, which I hope is the mandate of our visitor services representatives, the current visitor information locations are obviously ideal. Presumably that is the reason
The long-range vision is to have the Greenway trail connect directly to the visitor centre and beyond. This will also help to beautify the area and may invite other tourist-oriented opportunities. The centre will function equally well with or without the Civic Arena as a neighbour. I did attend the public hearing. It was supposed to be a rezoning issue from commercial to public institutional. Excuse my naivety but I just don’t get why having a tourist info centre instead of a commercial business would be such a bad thing. It is worthy to note that most of the attendees were either not directly
an investment was made to develop them. Invest now in well-informed, friendly staff who are able to knowledgably promote the area, and also quality information kiosks which provide similar self-serve information during the hours that the locations are not staffed. Even if a necessary reallocation of resources resulted in no staffing, I would challenge any suggestion that the proposed centralized location is as traveller-friendly as the existing ones. I'm sure there are many citizens of Vernon who are silently shaking their heads regarding this issue, but are not comfortable publicly voicing their disagreement. If the process continues and you disagree with it, remember that your vote in the November election can be your voice. According to published results, Mr. Spiers was the only member of council who voted against it. C. Northgraves
affected by the tourism industry or simply didn’t even live in the area. It was interesting that some of the opponents thought the visitor centre would bring thousands and thousands of strangers with their dogs and kids to the area, and then some thought that not a single visitor would find the building. Some related that it is impossible for RVs to make the turn to get there and yet someone else suggested that at times, there are so many RVs using the sani-dump that it is backed up. Dudley Price submitted a letter to the editor giving his opinion on the Vernon visitor centre. It appears he is from Armstrong. Here is the listing for the Armstrong visitor centre: “Located in historic old town, the ArmstrongSpallumcheen Visitor Centre is located in close proximity to all amenities - restaurants, museum, art gallery, stores, fairgrounds, pool, playground and park.” Apparently Armstrong has had it right all along. Ingrid Baron, Vernon tourism advisory committee member
WRONG SPOT We are newly moved to the Vernon area, seniors and RVers. We have a 37-foot motorhome and tow a car. I have been reading the letters about moving the tourist info sites to downtown Vernon. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that the one on Highway 97, north of Vernon, is absolutely perfect. Long lead-in, lots of parking and easy-out on to the highway again. Moving it into town is a major mistake. The excuse that you need tourists to go into town is nuts, since Highway 97 goes right through town anyway. They have no choice. But unless the new tourist info site has really big parking areas for us, RVers might visit it once, but won't ever go back. And they will tell all of their friends to avoid it too. You'd be smart to leave it where it is. It's a really dumb idea. L. Dent

Vernon DJ says the kids are all right
Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff
A single dad to his seven-year-old son, a personal trainer and yoga instructor at Predator Ridge, Chris Antonation doesn’t have a lot of free time. But for the past seven years, he’s found the time to provide a place to go for North Okanagan teens, hosting dances at venues around town, where he takes on the role of DJ Chrispin. “All anyone hears is the bad stuff that comes from events held for this age group, but I have been going for seven years with them now almost completely under the radar,” he said. “I think it’s fair that I get to stick up for the positive movement that I have built. “When you step through the doors, you’re all there for all the right reasons, it doesn’t matter who your friends are.” Growing up in Vernon, Antonation played basketball, hung out with his friends and graduated from Clarence Fulton secondary school. But he often felt there was a lack of things to do when he was a teen and wanted to provide a place for kids ages 13 to 18 to hang out with their friends, in a safe, alcohol-free environment. As Chrispin, he’s been hosting events around town for the teen crowd, with few incidents, through his company, Nevaland Productions, in both Vernon and Kelowna. “There is not much for kids to do at night, or rather not much to do that they actually want to do,” he said. “I want them to be a part of everything and that just spreads — I’m com-

I’m Peter Pan and all these people are my lost boys, but I’m looking out for them and they respect me.” Antonation played his first gig as a DJ at the age of 19, for 10,000 people at a summer festival. He eventually joined forces with promoters Flipside Entertainment.
“I would do events from the ground up, finding space, getting insurance and doing the DJ work,” he said. Antonation hosted his dances at The Hub for the past few years, starting with around 30 kids in attendance, gradually increasing to about 110. He also hosted teen nights at downtown night clubs, Mix and Moe Joes. “I sold out the last seven dances I held,” he said, adding that he’s now branched out on his own and recently held his first dance
at the Army, Navy & Air Force Club, with about 130 people turning up to dance, listen to music and socialize. “We search coats and bags at the door and we keep it safe —we haven’t had a fight in two years. “We mostly get kids who are 13 to 16, but we’ve had some 18-year-olds come out and dance the night away.” With courses in business under his belt, Antonation is currently mentoring three teens to learn to DJ so that he can move more towards the business side of things. So far, the dances are a labour of love: any profit he makes is poured back into the next event. “I love to DJ and I will always be a DJ. But these kids are going to grow up and go to clubs and now I’m setting them up for behaving themselves in nightclubs. “Everyone wants to tell teenagers how to act, but no one wants to show them how, but if I can show them and if I draw and attract all these people to me, it builds a little community.” Antonation gives thanks to his sponsors, Vernon Cross-town Courier and Sunshine Autographics, for their support. “And my brother is good with graphics, so he does the posters for me.” Antonation’s next event is an Easter Teen Night taking place April 20 at the ANAF Hangar in Vernon from 8 p.m. to midnight, with an on-site concession. Tickets are $7 in advance, $10 at the door. For more details, e-mail nevalandproduction@gmail.com or the Facebook page, Teen Nightlife Okanagan.
Vernon musicians voted as regional semi-finalists in CBC Searchlight
Morning Star Staff
The odds are getting closer in their favour as three Vernonbased acts have been voted as regional semi-finalists in the CBC Searchlight’s hunt For Canada’s best new artist competition. Singer-songwriters Olivia Penalva and Dawn King made the list with their songs Fight for You and The Real Me, respectively, while Celtic-rock band Cod Gone Wild is also in the running with the song Back Roads. More than 4,100 artists from across the country entered an original song into the fan-voted competition hosted by CBC Music and CBC Radio One. The field was narrowed as of Monday down to 25 semi-finalists from 20 regions across Canada. (The Vernon artists are represented
in Kelowna’s Radio West region, which includes all B.C. Interior communities.) King is no stranger to earning accolades for her songs. Her new album, It’s Time to Shine, has been well received with single, Nothin’ But the Truth, voted as the winner of the Emerging Canadian Artist Showdown, held by Kamloops radio station Country 103. It was also featured on the Smith Chevrolet Canadian Top 10 Countdown and hit national radio with CBC’s Song of the Day. For Penalva, who is the youngest local in contention (she turned 14 on Tuesday), the competition has come with an extra plug for her song, Fight for You, which is also one of 306 finalists in the International Songwriting competition. (Penalva is in the top 15 in
the teen category and is the only Canadian.) Her entry into the Searchlight competition has earned her notice from Toronto music journalist Chris Dart, who named her to the official mega playlist of 112 amazing discoveries. Cod Gone Wild are just coming off a busy touring schedule, having just wrapped up a series of St. Patrick’s shows to celebrate the release of their new album, Battered and Fried. Voting for the next round in CBC’s Searchlight competition goes until April 13. Fans can vote for 10 acts per region per day. The overall winner will take home the grand prize, including $20,000 worth of music equipment from Yamaha Canada Music, a professional recording with CBC

that the double reed enabled double and triple-tonguing. She made it sound so easy, which it couldn’t have been. Bassoon concertos are far from common, yet Vivaldi wrote 37 of them. Few followed with Pietro Baldassare’s Concerto for Trumpet & Strings. Playing a piccolo trumpet, he too made it sound easy – the notes were clear as a bell. Fiendishly fast, it bounced along, followed by a delicate slow waltz, finishing at the gallop. The third concerto brought them both on stage. Commissioned by Mackie Jackson from

ing the title, Copland was much amused when told how perfectly he’d captured the beauty of the Appalachians. It tells the story of a spring celebration of 19th century American pioneers after building a new farmhouse. The characters include a bride and groom, a pioneer woman, a preacher and his congregation. Divided into eight sections, it ended with what became known as the Shaker Hymn, used by Sydney Carter in his widely recognized Lord of the Dance. The encore was a true show-stopper. They wheeled out the Steinway and, backed by the orchestra, they played the Fast Dance from Shostakovitch’s Jazz Suite No. 3. Along with Mackie Jackson on the bassoon, Few played trumpet and piano simultaneously.

Matthieu Lussier after a chance meeting with Few, Double Concerto for Trumpet, Bassoon and Orchestra was only the second written for these instruments. Appalachian Spring, scored for chamber orchestra by Aaron Copland, was commissioned by choreographer and dancer Martha Graham. And on Sunday the performance was dedicated to longtime Vernon resident Miriam Jayne, who recently died. After it was premiered at the Library of Congress, with Martha Graham dancing the lead role, Copland was awarded the Pulitzer Music Prize. Originally there was no title. Copland referred to it simply as “Ballet for Martha.” But shortly before the premiere, Graham suggested Appalachian Spring. Because he had composed it without know-

t four-foot, six-inches tall, a bassoon was described at Sunday’s concert as “a bedpostlooking instrument with a bendy tube coming out of it.” But if it could have been unfolded, its height would have been eight feet, six inches. It’s one of the double-reed woodwinds, and audiences compare its warm, dark, reedy sound to that of a male baritone voice. Usually kept out of sight behind the violas, it was placed front and centre on Sunday by the Okanagan Symphony for Dynamic Duo, when Nadina Mackie Jackson on bassoon joined Guy Few, playing on trumpet. Starting with Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, with most of the players standing in a semi-circle, this was one of the six most famous Baroque pieces ever composed. Bach has been described as the father of jazz, and the pacing and rhythm of the orchestra was perfect. In this concerto, the adagio movement is probably the shortest slow movement ever written, consisting of only two chords. Perhaps these were intended to accompany an improvised harpsichord or violin cadenza, as played Sunday by Denis Letourneau. Then came the first concerto, Vivaldi’s C Major Bassoon Concerto. Mackie Jackson is a world class bassoonist and perhaps, for the first time in our lives, made us listen to what the instrument can do. Afterwards, when I asked about the speed of the notes, she explained

Masaharu Fukuyama stars in the Japanese film, Like Father, Like Son, showing at the Vernon Towne Cinema Monday.
Japanese film explores familial ties Vernon Film Society
the weekends. Japanese pop star Masaharu Fukuyama delivers a moving performance as Ryota, whose soul-searching about the meaning of fatherhood lies at the heart of the film. Although framed in a Japanese cultural context, the questions of nature-versus-nurture are universal. Like Father, Like Son reminds us that any definition of family needs to be constructed around unconditional love, first and foremost. Like Father, Like Son screens Monday at the Towne Cinema at regular times of 5:15 and 7:45 p.m. Tickets are available one week ahead at the Towne and the Bean Scene for $7. Everyone is welcome – you do not need to be a member. The Vernon Film Society is celebrating its 30th anniversary and, as a thank you to loyal patrons, is offering passes for any five movies for $30. These passes will be available for purchase at regular movie nights and will expire at the end of December.

On April 14, the Vernon Film Society will show Like Father, Like Son, the new drama from acclaimed Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda. The heart-wrenching story unfolds as two sets of parents have their worlds turned upside down when they learn that their six-year-old sons were switched at birth. One family lives in a modern Tokyo high-rise. Father, Ryota, is an ambitious architect intent on climbing the corporate ladder. His wife, Midori, is a loving mother who carefully monitors her only child’s academic and cultural education. The other family lives outside the city in a modest apartment above an appliance store. Their son plays in the bathtub with his siblings and watches his easygoing father tinker with his toys. While both families are hesitant to force an abrupt change in their families, they soon begin to socialize, even to the point of swapping boys on

Sunrise helps guide grief journey Sunrise Grief Retreat offers a safe place to help the bereaved on the road towards healing Cara Brady Morning Star Staff
Each person grieves differently and each one finds the right time to take part in a grief retreat if that is part of the journey. For Deb Friesen, that time was two years ago. “I was blocked emotionally after being strong for years. My husband, Ross, who was my hopes and dreams had died from ALS and further than that, I didn’t know. I was physically sick but I came to realize that the only way to get through the grieving was to feel the pain,” she said. She attended the Sunrise Grief Retreat two years ago with what Barb Schimpl, Sunrise Grief Society board member and retreat facilitator, calls complicated grief. Friesen’s mother had died shortly after her husband had been diagnosed with ALS and her sister had
died by suicide 10 years earlier. With two teenagers, Friesen felt she had to be strong for those around her, while caring for Ross, her best friend from high school and husband of almost 30 years. “I couldn’t let myself feel anything. When Ross passed away, I thought nothing could be worse than watching him suffer. I thought the worst was over. I kept on not feeling and got through the first year somehow. I had health problems and was out of touch, in denial. Someone gave me a paper clipping about the grief retreat and suggested I think about it,” she said. “I don’t even have the words to say what it meant to me. Those nurturing women met every need, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. I felt safe and cared for. No one was telling me what to
do or be. They give you space.” The grief retreats, held at the Deep Creek Retreat House, offer a choice of therapies in a quiet, rural setting, with participants sharing what they want. “I learned that if you want hope and a life, you have to feel. I realized I had been numb, which is not like me. Now I can smile when I remember Ross sitting watching his bird houses and the little yellow birds who came only once a year in the spring — that was the time of year he passed away. Every day is a gift. The healing touch was wonderful. The house is beautiful and they make you feel so loved,” said Friesen. “I had to accept that you can’t do the grieving on your own. I could see how my life was going and I didn’t want to live the rest of my life like that. The retreat changed how I processed and how I viewed my grief. I learned to take care of myself so I could help my children with their grief.” Schimpl said that people can come to retreats for recent grief

The next retreat is May 2 to 6 at the Deep Creek Retreat House. or grief in the past. “Sometimes the present grief brings up other losses. We have trained facilitators who will help participants take a safe and guided path towards healing and personal growth,” she said. “Towards the end of the retreats it’s amazing to see what is happening, the changes in the participants — some of
the pain leaves or transforms to something you can live with. We give people the tools they need to continue healing after the retreat.” Friesen said the tools she has used the most are journalling and walking. “I also learned that I had to be able to be open and vulnerable and share my feelings with people I trusted,”
she said. All of the activities at the retreats are compatible with and complementary to most religious and spiritual beliefs. The next Finding Hope in Your Grief Journey retreat, put on by the non-profit Sunrise Grief Retreat Society, takes place May 2 to 6. The cost is $550 per person or $900
MacKenzie Camp receives the funding it needs Morning Star Staff
The directors at MacKenzie camp are excited to have once again received a funding grant of $22,000 from the BC Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, which will go towards the outdoor program for schools and for the summer program. “This will allow us to offer a variety of programs featuring ecology and care of the earth, including canoeing, kayaking, and environmental hikes; physical fitness programs such as the climbing wall, archery, low ropes, campfire story telling and much more,” said Lorraine Powell, with the Mackenzie Camp Society. “The camp would have a very difficult time offering these programs without this support.”
At its recent annual general meeting, two board members were honoured for their many years of service: Tom Cole, who has served as camp director, chair of fundraising and golf tournament, and board member for almost 30 years, is still willing to
help with fundraising, but has stepped off the board. Shirley Browne has served as a board member for more than eight years, as chair and vice chair of the board, served on the personnel committee and still writes all receipts. She is also stepping off the

A chocolate delight
n Canada, Easter is associated with bunnies, egg hunts and chocolate candies, not to mention a resplendent Easter brunch and church services. But in other parts of the world it is observed in different ways, with different festivities, customs, and traditional dishes. Baked Easter goods are popular all over the globe. In the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, hot cross buns filled with dried fruits and spices with a cross on top symbolizing the crucifixion, are eaten on Good Friday. Today’s recipe comes from Polish traditions. The babka is laden with chocolate, butter and old-world charm, and is luscious served for dessert, with coffee, or for breakfast. While baking, the rich dough becomes incredibly tender, so it pulls apart in buttery pieces that melt in your mouth. Enjoy. Chocolate Babka (Polish recipe) For dough: 3/4 cup warm milk (105–115°F) 1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar

with filling: Line each loaf pan with 2 pieces of parchment paper (1 lengthwise and 1 crosswise). Punch down dough with a lightly oiled rubber spatula, then halve dough. Roll out 1 piece of dough on a well-floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into an 18by 10-inch rectangle and arrange with a long side nearest you. Beat together yolk and cream. Spread 2-1/2 tablespoons softened butter on dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Brush some of egg wash on long border nearest you. Sprinkle half of chocolate evenly over buttered dough, then sprinkle with half of sugar (2 tablespoons). Starting with long side farthest from you, roll dough into a snug log, pinching firmly along egg-washed seam to seal. Bring ends of log together to form a ring, pinching to seal. Twist entire ring twice to form a double figure 8 and fit into one of lined loaf pans. Make another babka with remaining dough, some of egg wash, and remaining butter, chocolate and sugar in same manner. Chill remaining egg wash, covered, to use later. Loosely cover pans with buttered plastic wrap (buttered side down) and let babkas rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until dough reaches top of pans, 1 to 2 hours. (Alternatively, let dough rise in pans in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours; bring to room temperature, 3 to 4 hours, before baking.) Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Brush tops of dough with remaining egg wash. Bake until tops are deep golden brown and bottoms sound hollow when tapped (when loaves are removed from pans), about 40 minutes. Transfer loaves to a rack and cool to room temperature. Note: Babkas keep, wrapped in plastic wrap and then foil, frozen 3 weeks.

Stars for kids at Carl’s Jr. Morning Star Staff

Volunteers earn recognition Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Public Art Gallery will host the third annual Volunteer Appreciation Event in partnership with the Vernon Volunteer Bureau. The event, which is today from 1 to 3 p.m., is open to all not-for-profit organizations who wish to give a special thanks to the volunteers who play such an important role in our community. “As a charitable organization that relies heavily on volunteers, it only made sense to provide the facility for a community-wide volunteer appreciation event,” said Kennedy Grant Dauna Kennedy Grant, VPAG executive director. The guest speaker will be Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon city councillor. The event will be catered by Fig Catering and volunteers can relax and enjoy an afternoon of music, snacks and refreshments. The cost to participating agencies is $2.50 per volunteer. For more information and to register your volunteers, contact the gallery in advance at 250-545-3173, info@vernonpublicartgallery.com
Garneau will discuss science as the foundation of his own career and its increasing importance in shaping Canada’s future. He began with the Canadian Navy and then became an astronaut and president of the Canadian Space Agency. In 2008, he was elected as the Liberal MP for Westmount-Ville-Marie in Quebec and was reelected in 2011.

A small burn pile spread across upwards of five acres of grassland Saturday, causing concern for a nearby resident on Old Kamloops Road.

Fire spreads up hillside JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
It only took minutes for a small burn pile to spread and ignite upwards of five acres of dry grass Saturday. “Somebody started out with a small burn pile and ended up burning between four and five acres of hillside,” said Bill Wacey, BX-Swan Lake fire chief. Wacey noticed the burn pile off Old Kamloops Road, which was small at the time, while he was attending a natural gas leak on Highway 97. “By coincidence I was one-and-a-half kilometres down the road,” said Wacey of the mutual aid call with the Armstrong fire department after a gas pipe was pulled out of the ground by a rake. “When I looked over about 15 minutes later the smoke was a whole lot darker and bigger.” Neighbours called in the fire just as Wacey
arrived on scene, around 2 p.m. in the 6900 block of Old Kamloops Road. “I couldn’t see anyone around all I could see was flames everywhere, going in every direction. We had a tractor shed that was threatened pretty severely,” said Wacey. It turns out the person in charge was about four acres over trying to stop the fire from spreading to his neighbour’s. Knowing Armstrong crews were just wrapping up down the road, Wacey called them in for mutual aid and firefighters were on scene for close to three hours extinguishing hot spots. BX-Swan Lake firefighters also put their skills to use Tuesday evening for a prescribed burn off East Vernon Road. Approximately three to four acres of grass land was used in interface training for the department.
Weeks-old burn pile re-ignited KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
Lake Country fire crews responded to a brush fire in the McCoubrey Plateau area Sunday. Ten firefighters were called out after 9 p.m. when a resident noticed a fire on private land in a wooded area.

Fire chief Steve Windsor said the landowner had previously been burning old pine beetle trees in the area and had buried a burn pile, but the blaze continued to simmer underground until the wind caused it to light up again. “It was three or four-

week-old burn pile but the wind came up and it got back up to about a half acre and into some very tangled and dead pine beetle trees,” said Windsor. “It was so high up that no one noticed. If it had taken a hold up there it would have been a real chore but we
caught it early and put in a fire guard.” Open burning in the Central Okanagan is normally allowed through the month of April, before the land dries out and becomes too dangerous for controlled burns. The Regional District of Central Okanagan, together with area fire departments, will make the decision on when open burning is done for the year and Windsor says this fire is an indication of just how dry things can get. “It dries out very quickly so people at this time of the year have to be very careful,” he said. “If we continue to get controlled burns that get away then a decision will have to be made. We try to play it day by day at this time of the year but if we get a stretch of warm weather the fire departments and the regional district will have to make a decision.”

Local captains are making a splash into the boating season by sending their vessels sailing through the sky. The Vernon Yacht Club officially gets boating started Saturday with its annual Crane Day. “We have a big crane come in from Armstrong and we lift sailboats and put them in the water and some of the bigger power boats too,” said Chris Grotterod, with the club. “It signifies the start of the boating season.” The public is invited to come watch the spectacle as about 20 vessels will be lifted off their trailers, taking to the sky before landing back home in the water. Crane Day gets underway at 8 a.m. and runs until about noon. The clubhouse will also be open for anyone interested in checking it out, or if mother nature decides to pour down on the event. “You can stay inside and watch us get soaked,” laughs Grotterod. Crane Day marks the beginning of boating for many as weekly sailing races begins this Sunday and continue every Sunday until summer when they move to Wednesdays. Another annual tradition is the Family Boat Show May 3 and 4. The event boasts numerous exhibitors and offers the public a chance to check out the club and boats. “Admission is free but come and fill the boat for the Salvation Army food bank,” said Grotterod. This year, the Okanagan Quality of Life Society will also be launching its new vessel at the show. The Vernon Yacht Club has also initiated a new feature for members – a weather web cam, accessible at vernonyachtclub.com. “It will show them what the conditions of the lake are before they go out,” said Grotterod of the camera, which was donated by Vic and Annette Romaszewski and installed by volunteers. “It’s installed on the end of our dock, looking west towards the forestry campground.”

BC Hydro power line technicians from Vernon recently completed maintenance on a 500-kilovolt line in the North Okanagan that runs between Ashton Creek and Selkirk. The specialized crew used a helicopter to help install more than 2,000 spacer dampers and 129 arcing horns on the line over six days. Spacer dampers hold the individual transmission lines apart. They keep the overhead lines from contacting each other in stormy weather and causing outages. The new spacer dampers have high grade rubber to absorb the impact of inclement weather and extend the lifespan of the lines by 70 years. The new arcing horns protect the insulators, which connect lines to the towers.

Hail insurance urged for Okanagan fruit growers Morning Star Staff
The B.C. government is recommending Okanagan tree fruit growers include insur-
ance for hail damage in their 2014 risk management plans. Spring and summer hail storms occur regu-
larly in the Okanagan, but the exact timing and potential areas impacted are unpredictable.
To help mitigate their risk, all commercial tree fruit growers can buy hail insurance with the option
of increasing their coverage throughout the year. Like any insurance policy, coverage cannot be purchased
or adjusted retroactively. The federal and provincial subsidize the premium of each
Peel $100 off a new smartphone.
hail insurance policy in the province. A sample policy with 80 per cent coverage for an apple crop worth $100,000 would result in $7,200 in producer premiums, with the governments contributing a roughly equal amount. Though coverage for up to 100 per cent of a crop is available, many growers choose to purchase 80 per cent coverage as an appropriate level. Payments to insured tree fruit growers following 2013 hail storms in the Okanagan totalled about $10 million, about half of what was initially estimated, but higher than average years. The Ministry of Agriculture developed and distributes a guide to tree fruit growers that specifically outlines hail insurance coverage and the different options for them to consider at www.agf. gov.bc.ca/production_ insurance/plans/treefruit/tf_hail_guide.pdf More information about crop and hail insurance for tree fruit growers is at www.agf. gov.bc.ca/production_ insurance/tree_fruits. htm

Q: A:
Why Health Care Directives?
You should have a Health Care Directive to alert your physician and family to the kind of health care you desire when you are nearing the end of your life or are otherwise ill and are unable to speak for yourself. Imagine having your kids squabble about which medical treatment a parent should receive at the end of their life. If you leave clear instructions, everyone will know what to do when that time comes. There are essentially three kinds of Health Care Directives. A Living Will, an Advanced Health Care Directive and a Representation Agreement. The one you require can be custom tailored to fit your particular circumstances. There is a lot of confusion about these Directives. Some groups in town have had speakers who have made significant errors in their speeches about these documents. Speak to someone who knows. At Laarakker Law, Wills 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.

Five minutes later Vernon added to its lead when Mees Geelkerken was sent in alone by Wiens. Geelkerken made no mistake slotting the ball home to the right side. Kamloops had their opportunities but Harvey Pawsey was solid in the Vernon net. The lone flaw in the first half came with 10 minutes remaining when a Kamloops attacker was allowed to get off a quality strike that found the back of the net. After the break Vernon had solid defensive play against an opponent trying to get back into the game. The counterattack produced opportunities which Vernon capitalized on. At 57 minutes Wiens restored the two-goal cushion, converting a perfectly weighted pass from Geelkerken. Five minutes later, Kevin Thibault intercepted a poor Kamloops clearing attempt and slammed home a rocket to the left side from 11 yards out. In the 66th minute, Geelkerken benefited from some nice play on the wing by James Huntington, who dribbled through several defenders before laying off a perfect ball to Geelkerken who put it home just inside the post for his second of the match. Kamloops got a late consolation a minute before the final whistle. “It was nice for the team to start off with a win,” said U15 coach Rolf Hirschkorn. “Last season we lost 6-2 to the same team to start the year, so it was great to give a little payback this year.”
Elias Jensen, Wyatt Carter, Gavin Mason, Ondrik and Thibault were solid in the midfield while Joshua Gray, Connor London and Peter Hirschkorn were a well-organized defensive core that allowed few quality chances and snuffed out the Kamloops attack. Pawsey made eight saves for the win. “The boys played very well today,” added United coach Erick Burnet. “They moved the ball around well and supported each other offensively and defensively.” The U15 boys play Shuswap this Sunday at Marshall. Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. U14 boys draw Kelowna Vernon and Kelowna played to a scoreless draw in a battle of United teams on a crisp spring Saturday morning in Kelowna. Kelowna brought some tall players but the Vernon crew returned the size difference with high efforts of skill. Vernon keeper Ian Oliphant made some impressive saves to keep the game scoreless. Ben Purvis drove for the goal in the second half and, had the lofty Kelowna keeper’s extended reach not been there, the Vernon squad could have had a win under their belt. Overall, Vernon had a better handle on playing a possession and passing game which kept them out of trouble. Xander Sladen made some speedy dashes down the wing but the Kelowna defence managed to catch up and shut the shots down. Perez Vermeulen had some great rushes for the goal but Kelowna would get a foot on the ball and clear it back to Vernon’s defense. Finn Plummer dug through the crowded midfield to send the ball forward time and time again keeping the pressure on the Kelowna squad. Vernon’s defense of Trent Graham, Adam Raber, Jude Kronbauer, Noah Schneider and Danny Paskiewich kept the pressure on Kelowna and helped disable the shots on goal. The next TOYSL game sees Vernon head to Penticton to face the Pinnacles Sunday, April 13.

We gave them a couple of days off because we were banged up a little. Now, it’s business as usual, practise every day, dryland here and there. We’re approaching Friday as just another game and we’ll keep going forward.” Game 2 in the series goes Saturday at 7 p.m. at Kal Tire Place before the league final shifts to Coquitlam for Games 3 and 4 Monday and Tuesday.

Both Armstrong Shamrock lacrosse teams are ready to fire up their 2014 seasons. The senior Shamrocks are set to host the Prince George Bandits and Alberta’s Spruce Grove Tomahawks in the 2014 Owen Siddall Memorial Ice Breaker tournament Friday and Saturday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. Siddall was an immensely popular goalie with the Shamrocks who died suddenly in October 2012. “We only have three teams this year, however we still have a lot of exciting lacrosse action. We have changed the format into a series of mini games,” said Chad Pieper, Shamrocks goalie. Games will now be two 25-minute halves. In the event of a tie they will go to an NHL-style shootout. The Shamrocks begin Friday night 6:30 p.m. against the Bandits, followed immediately with a tilt against the Tomahawks at 7:40.
robin format was unique to everybody, playing sporadically as opposed to the first two rounds, when games were held every night or every other night. “Oh, man, I want to get the final started so bad,” said Vipers forward Brett Mulcahy during a break from drills at Monday’s practice. “Three weeks and playing only two games, that’s a little much. There’s obviously some rest that you want. When you get in the groove and you’re playing every other day, you start to feel good. “With all this rest, we do a lot of practising but it will be nice to get the games going. I think Friday will be a pretty energetic game. It’s the final,
both teams are excited about that.” Counting the round-robin, Vernon has won two of three meetings with the Express. The teams split in the regular season with both games played before the trade deadline. SNAKE BITES: Vipers d-man Dylan Chanter is among nine BCHLers listed in the NHL’s final ranking before the entry draft. Chanter is ranked #164 among skaters... The Spruce Groves Saints forced Game 7 in their Alberta league semifinal, scoring a 5-1 win over the Oil Barons in Fort McMurray Sunday. Game 7 went Tuesday night in Spruce Grove. The winner meets the Drumheller Dragons in the league final.
Saturday is jam-packed with lacrosse. The Shamrocks will host Spruce Grove at 11:35 a.m. followed by playing Prince George at 12:55 p.m. There is a five-hour break until the three teams are back at it. Armstrong takes on Prince George at 6:30 and Spruce Grove at 7:40. The Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League also has its icebreaker tournament on Saturday around senior games at the Nor-Val Sports Centre. The 9th annual Archie Jack Memorial Ice Breaker tournament will feature all the teams in the league. The Vernon Tigers take on the Armstrong Shamrocks at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. The Tigers play again at 1:30 p.m. against the South Okanagan Flames. The Shamrocks finish up their day with a game against the Kelowna Raiders at 3 p.m. The Kamloops Rattlers round out the five-team loop.

For 2013 the amount is $7697 for an adult and is a non-refundable tax credit which is used to reduce tax payable. A larger credit is available for a dependant child under 18. A tip about this credit is that it can be transferred - to a parent, grandparent, spouse or anyone else that has claimed the disabled person on their tax return as a dependant. You must have a T2201 (Disability Tax Credit Certificate) completed by your doctor. The Canada Revenue Agency will use this completed form to determine if you qualify for the credit. This credit can be retroactive to the date the doctor states the disability began within a ten-year period.

Practise, practise, practise. It’s all the Vernon Vipers and Coquitlam Express can do as they prepare to meet in the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup best-of-seven league championship final starting Friday at 7 p.m. at Kal Tire Place. Both teams will endure lengthy layoffs prior to game one. The Vipers will be looking at 11 days off since their last game March 30, a 6-1 win over the Express in the semi-final round-robin tournament. Coquitlam will have had a shorter break – seven days off – since eliminating the Victoria Grizzlies April 3. “The layoff, it is what it is,” said Vernon head coach Jason Williamson, who had his team back on the ice Monday after giving them the weekend off. “Our job is to make sure our guys are fresh and not rusty, take some time to mentally and physically recharge, then this week ramp it up with a lot of game-like practice, structure and things like that.” Likewise, Coquitlam head coach Barry Woolf gave his team the weekend to rest up before getting back to work Monday. It’s the second time during this post-season the Express have had an extended break. They were off for nine days, after eliminating the Langley Rivermen in six games in the Mainland Division final,

Dutcher’s best save came off a Henry Czerwonka rocket volley from 15-yards out with Dutcher diving to his right and getting his hand on the blast, tipping it off the cross bar.

Raber then fed Chris Odermatt for the third Okanagan Spring goal midway through the second half. Rookie Bryan Schenker, making his first appearance for Big O/Turn-Key, showed lots of promise, just missing on a few rushes to the Camels net. Also in his rookie appearance, Duane Dennis showed his talent making moves and passes creating chances.
Big O/Turn-Key backliners Sean Weibe (rookie) and Sean Chippendale played with grit and confidence.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder THE WORLD’S BEST BRIDGE MAGAZINE If you asked experts which is the best bridge magazine, they would all answer, “The Bridge World.” Edited by Jeff Rubens (I am the associate editor), it aims mostly at experienced tournament players. However, there is also material for those trying to elevate their games to that level. You can bid 10 hands with your partner and compare your results against two expert pairs. And you can answer the eight bidding and opening-lead problems set to an expert panel. If you get the highest score, you win a book prize. This deal is from the monthly quiz entitled “Improve Your Defense.”
Look at the West and North hands. Defending against three no-trump, West leads his fourth-highest diamond. East wins with his ace and returns a diamond to South’s king. Should West be doing anything in particular? The auction is straightforward. With a good, long minor, no short suit and no thoughts of slam, North should raise to three notrump. This is a position that experts take in their stride, but less capable players do not have down pat. If you look at the full deal, declarer is going to take the club finesse at trick three. It is going to lose, and East will be wondering whether to shift to a spade or to a heart. If he leads the wrong suit,
declarer runs for home with three hearts, one diamond and five clubs. West must help his partner by dropping the diamond 10 under South’s king. The unnecessarily high card is a suit-preference signal for the higher-ranking major suit. Details are at bridgeworld. com.

Marvin John Breitkreutz
We regret to announce that Marvin passed away on April 3rd, 2014 in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 70 years. Marvin will be lovingly remembered by his mother, Elnora; his only brother, Al (Bonnie); two nephews, Brad (Judy) and Shane (Cheryl); two grand-nieces, Shalena and Danika; and many extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, John in 2011. Although Marvin was born with cerebral palsy, it never stopped him from leaving tracks of joy through many lives. He always had a smile and an opƟmisƟc outlook on life. Marvin was a regular face at the Village Green Mall where he would cruise around in his power chair socializing with friends. He had a passion for the outdoors and he enjoyed geƫng out to see nature, feeding birds, even hunƟng and Įshing despite lacking mobility, and for many years paƟently tying Ňies to help others catch that elusive trout. The Funeral Service will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Thursday, April 10th, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. with Pastor David Zeim oĸciaƟng. Interment will follow in the family plot at Pleasant Valley Cemetery. At the conclusion of the Graveside Service family and friends are invited to a ZecepƟon which will take place in the Bethel Tea Room. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donaƟons in memory of Marvin to the Good Samaritan Society, 964971st Avenue E.W., Edmonton, Alberta T6E ϱJ2 or the St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1ϱ03 PoƩery Road, Vernon, B.C.
