Volunteers ready for RBC action ers for 10 years, and he will be helping out with Vipers’ team services; making sure they have food and Gatorade before games.

“I like meeting all the great people that help out; it is really rewarding,” said Deboice.

This is the first time Bill Munroe has volunteered with the team.

Munroe is an usher and will help people find where they need to go.

“It’s going to be great. I’ll be helping people out as I get to watch the Vipers win the RBC Cup,” said Munroe.

After years of planning, Lane and Klepp’s job is getting close to the finish line.

“It’s going to be nice to sit back and oversee everything and watch some fantastic hockey,” said Lane.

The first game is 2 p.m. Saturday at Kal Tire Place between the Dauphin Kings and the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots. The hometown Vipers take to the ice against the Carleton Place Canadians at 7 p.m. Saturday.

t was 36 months ago that Vernon was awarded the task of preparing for the 2014 RBC Cup. And finally, the community is just mere hours away from seeing the puck drop on the Royal Bank Cup Canadian Junior A hockey championship tournament at Kal Tire Place.

Event manager Don Klepp and tourney chairman Mike Lane hosted a volunteer rally at Kal Tire Place Saturday for everyone helping out at the RBC Cup. “It is really great to see this all come together,” said Klepp. “We’ve got 217 volunteers here, today is about getting them acquainted, giving them their accreditation and going over final expectations.”

The volunteers are divided into 29 committees, dealing with everything from visitor services and traffic control to seating ushers.

“I am most excited for opening night, getting people into the building and kicking this tournament off,” said Lane.

Killer’s father gets three years kathy michaels Black Press

The Cherryville man who helped his son cover his tracks after he brutally murdered a teenage girl will spend the next couple of years behind bars for his efforts.

Stephen Foerster was sentenced to three years in prison, less 336 days of time served, for the charge of accessory after the fact.

The 60-year-old, the court learned Wednesday, went to great lengths to help his son Matthew Foerster escape police scrutiny for five months after his Halloween 2011 slaying of Armstrong teen, Taylor Van Diest.

But, said Crown counsel, as he laid out his argument for the sentence the fact the senior Foerster arranged to plead guilty to the crime shortly after a preliminary hearing worked in his favour.

Justice Peter Rogers agreed to the sentence, which was presented as a joint submission from Crown counsel and defence, noting that if he had his way, he’d have aimed for a slightly longer term of imprisonment.

“Mr. Foerster, knowing that Matthew was a killer, that he killed a defenceless girl, and he killed her at random, (sends) him to Collingwood, Ontario, where, for all he knows, he’ll kill again,” said Rogers, as he rendered the sentence.

“What Matthew Foerster did was just cold and Stephen Foerster knowingly facilitated a cold killer to be at large. That’s worrisome.”

Foerster remained stoic in the prisoner’s box as the proceedings rolled out much of Wednesday morning, but when he was offered an opportunity to speak later that afternoon he took it.

“I would like to apologize to the Van Diest family for prolonging the investigation … they’ve suffered more than anybody should,” Foerster said.

His words didn’t sway Marie Van Diest’s belief that the Foersters lacked remorse for the crimes they committed against her family.

kathy michaels/black press

armstrong’s marie Van Diest speaks to reporters outside the kelowna law courts Wednesday after cherryville’s stephen Foerster was sentenced to three years in jail for being an accessory after the fact in connection with the November 2011 murder of Van Diest’s daughter, taylor.

“I felt (the apology) was really pathetic,” the mother of Taylor Van Diest said outside the Kelowna courthouse.

“I think the thing he was sorry for is that he couldn’t go forward with trial, it would have just cost him too much. I think that’s why he decided to plead the way he did. He just didn’t want to fork out any of his dwindling income.”

The Foersters, she said, belong where the courts have sent them.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and in this case it’s true,” she said. “I think that they’re both cowards and they’re both

deviants, and neither of them have a place in society.”

Those five months when police searched for Taylor’s killer, she said, were excruciating for both her family and the community at large, which felt their safety stripped.

Crown counsel Chris Balison explained to the court how the elder Foerster, acted swiftly to help his son escape police detection after a sketch of his son was released a month after Taylor died.

Around 1,250 tips were offered to police in the weeks in November 2011, and at least 30 of which pointed to Matthew Foerster.

Some of those tips came from the Foerster’s friends and family, who were also turning to the elder Foerster for answers.

“There was certainly no secret in the local area and in the Foerster family... that RCMP were investigating Matthew Foerster,” said Balison.

In one case, Balison said a long-term friend asked Stephen Foerster about his son’s connection to Taylor Van Diest’s murder, and in reply they were told; “If he’s guilty, he’s guilty. If he’s not, he’s not.”

Behind the scenes, Foerster was less blase, apparently feverishly working to keep his son hidden from police.

In November two women packed up Matthew Foerster’s Lumby apartment, and Stephen went shortly thereafter to collect the boxes.

He asked a longtime friend to help him purchase a new identity for his son, and for $500 he came up with a BCAA card, drivers licence, old bank card and SIN number that Foerster used to move to Collingwood, Ont. Once there, the two communicated through two pay-as-you-go mobile phones they’d purchased.

Balison made reference to three calls made through the phones, where the fatherson duo discussed use of the purchased identity, the police investigation, methods to avoid detection and eventually plans to buy a second new identity.

The type of pressure they were facing from police was also outlined in those conversations.

Foerster found a tracking device on one of the family cars and the police were regularly dropping in with questions.

They were both arrested on the same day in April 2012, Stephen at his Cherryville home and Matthew in Collingwood, Ont. Matthew is serving a life sentence without opportunity for parole for the next 25 years.

Stephen will start his sentence immediately.

Police nab suspect in mailbox thefts Morning Star Staff

An arrest has been made in connection with reports of mailboxes being broken into.

Police responded to reports Sunday that five community and group mailboxes had been entered in the Lavington and Lumby area.

“A short time later a man and woman entered the Money Mart on 25th Avenue in Vernon and attempted to cash a cheque related to the thefts,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

The police were called and after a brief foot chase that ended in Polson Park, the 21-year-old woman was caught.

The officers have been able to determine the suspect had eight outstanding warrants for her arrest. She was held in custody and returned to Kelowna.

“Our officers are continuing with this investigation and after searching the vehicle associated to the two suspects, numerous tools and mail items have been recovered indicating thefts from mail-

boxes throughout the Okanagan,” said Molendyk.

As our officers are still in the early stages of this investigation, it will take time to record all of the stolen items that were recovered. The investigators will be in touch with those individuals who were affected by the thefts.”

Police are asking anyone who may have seen suspicious activity around any of the community and group mailboxes, or knows anything about the thefts, to please call the Vernon Detachment at 250-545-7171.

WE DON’T PLAY IT SAFE WHEN IT COMES TO Fund initiated for victim’s family INNOVATION IN SAFETY. roger knox Morning Star Staff

The community is rallying to help a family devastated by tragedy.

Online donations are more than halfway, as of noon Thursday, toward a goal of $5,000 to help the family of Vernon’s Rodney Boring, 14, who died Sunday in a two-vehicle headon collision just before 4 p.m. on Highway 97 south near Crystal Waters Road.

Boring was the passenger in a car driven by a 17-year-old Vernon resident who remains in hospital with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries.

There were two Lumby residents in the vehicle struck by the Rodney Boring car Boring was in. A 25-year-old woman, the passenger, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

A total of $2,665 has been raised for the family through the Rodney Boring Memorial Fund, which can be accessed through a link on the Facebook page In Memory of Rodney Boring.

The Boring family have been longtime members of the Vernon baseball community, which has offered its support.

“Vernon Baseball will be accepting financial donations at this Saturday’s picture day at Marshall Field,” said minor baseball president Mark Batchelor. “Every dollar raised will be given directly to the Boring family.”

The picture on the memorial fund page is of Boring in his Vernon Minor Football Vernon Magnums’ No. 24 outfit.

“Rodney was a kid who loved football,” said Ed Huber, president of minor football. “He was a kid who always gave his best on the field and everybody who played with him enjoyed having him around.”

Boring was a Grade 9 student at Seaton.

The Vernon School District enacted its crisis response team at the school Monday.

“We had counsellors from secondary and elementary schools, and NOYFSS (North Okanagan Youth and Family Services) meet with the staff at 8 a.m. Monday,” said school district superintendent Joe Rogers.

“A prepared statement was read to all the classes, and we had a room available where kids that wanted to talk about it or were upset could go and receive some counselling. There has been follow-up all week.”

Slide prompts call for action richard rolke Morning Star Staff

There is pressure to determine what caused a large landslide east of Enderby.

The Regional District of North Okanagan is demanding the provincial government thoroughly investigate what led Dale Lake to burst and send about nine million gallons of water down Cooke Creek, causing a slide that cut off Kingfisher residents May 2.

“We want answers and we will press for them,” said Ron Baker, community protective services manager.

It’s been suggested that the flooding and slide occurred when a beaver dam broke loose at Dale Lake. However, some officials have speculated the ground gave way because water in the lake could not drain through a plugged culvert.

“Who put the structure in? That should fall in under the (provincial) dam folks,” said director Mike Macnabb.

The Cooke Creek slide comes about three years after a dam burst in Oliver.

“It’s becoming more prevalent it seems,” said Baker, adding that there have been discussions in the past that the province turn control for dams over to local governments.

“We’re not taking the hand off for all things. We are seeing more frequency where there is a risk.”

Beyond the Ministry of Forests investigating the cause of the slide, RDNO is awaiting the findings of a geotechnical report looking at possible ongoing hazards along Cooke Creek such as unstable slopes and trees.

A focus of the report may also be the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre, which sustained widespread damage and is not two metres below the creek bank.

“It may be cheaper to move the facility than to try and adequately protect it,” said Baker.

Another issue is that the slide washed a lot of trees into the Shuswap River and they are making their way to Mara Lake.

“People have to be aware that there will be debris in the river and the lakes,” said director Jackie Pearase.

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP want to say thanks to the residents of Kingfisher.

When flooding washed out Mabel Lake Road and the power and phone lines servicing people in the community, Insp. Jim McNamara expressed concerns for the safety of the people trapped behind the washout.

“He directed two officers to go in and set up a temporary office to be able to respond to any calls for service requiring police attention behind the slide area,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Two officers from the Vernon detachment were

flown in by helicopter to the Kingfisher-Mabel Lake location to set up a temporary base.

The two police officers were provided the use of a vehicle from a local resident to patrol the roads behind the washout so they could respond to concerns from the residents trapped behind the landslide.

“Our officers did attend to two calls while they were set up in Mabel Lake,” said Molendyk.

“The RCMP would like to thank the residents of the area for their assistance and warm hospitality while they were there during this uncertain time of the community being cut off from power and an impassable road.”

Ethics code now in place richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is influencing policy in Lake Country.

A code of ethics has been adopted for members of district council and staff.

“The embarrassments of the Senate and Toronto are having reverberations throughout Canada and even to the municipal level,” said Coun. Owen Dickie.

“We do have some requirements in our bylaws but this is an agreement to treat all staff, councillors and the public with respect and decency.”

James Baker Ford, who is on a leave of absence as Toronto mayor, has admitted to using crack and having issues with alcohol.

“We don’t have any of that here but we thought there should be an opportunity to provide censure if behaviour is not conducted in a manner conducive to good government,” said James Baker, Lake Country mayor.

The new rules cover a range of issues including conduct at public meetings, respect for process, conflict of interest, gifts and favours, confidential information, use of public resources, advocacy and a positive work environment.

“It’s pretty much what we practise already,” said Baker.

“It indicates how council conducts itself at meetings but also when representing the community.”

If a council member is found in contravention of the code, they cannot be removed from office, but they can be censured. Essentially the rest of council states it opposes the actions of the individual.

A council member could also get the cold shoulder.

“They could be removed from committees,” said Baker.

called in to assist.

“Had they all been in the station at the same time, they would have all been on the engine but there were circumstances (two getting a truck fuelled).”

Green also says it’s not uncommon for firefighters to turn to residents for help.

“I’ve had the public help pull a hose before.”

But Bond says the use of residents unacceptable.

“We appreciate the public’s support but we don’t want them exposed to smoke and anything (injuries) can happen with a hose,” said Bond.

There are times where the four firefighters on duty must be split up when a first medical responders call comes in or other duties arise.

“In a perfect world, we would have a rescue (crew) go out for a medical case and four would be on an engine for a fire but you have to operate within the resources allocated to your budget,” said Green.

“I’d love to have more resources but council decides what each division receives.”

The union contends city politicians have created the situation.

“Council has put the chief in a bad position where he had to split up a properly staffed engine,” said Bond, adding that the union wants

the four-person engine restored.

“Council must make a decision to free up resources for the department. We will continue with our regular lobby with mayor and council.”

Coun.

Juliette Cunningham, though, says council has provided support.

“We haven’t reduced the budget for fire services,” she said.

“The budget from 2012 to 2014 has gone from $4.6 to $4.8 million for that department and there’s been no decrease in that department.”

Get your mooove on

t was during Easter break with my family and friends, around our fire pit in my backyard with a few beers, when one of the biggest challenges of my life presented itself.

Can a grown man run faster than a cow?

I have no recollection how we landed on this topic, but the argument lasted into the wee hours of the night.

My dad and his neighbour are certain that four legs outruns two legs any day. They are convinced that I could never catch a cow on the run.

Let me be the first to tell you guys that I can Tyler Lowey move. I played college baseball for the WolfPack at Thompson Rivers University for four years. There wasn’t a base that I couldn’t steal; I was like a young Davey Lopes for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

I am not too far removed from those college days, so I imagine the kid still has the wheels.

My big thing is, what difference does it make how many legs the creature has? I can outrun turtles. If more legs are better, shouldn’t caterpillars and centipedes be the fastest animals? Ostriches have two legs and they have been clocked up to 70-kilometres/ hour.

There are probably other faster creatures I’m leaving out, but I digress.

The next morning, I rolled out of bed and looked on Yahoo Answers, “How fast can a cow run?”

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and Yahoo Answers has an answer for everything.

I found several different responses, nothing concrete.

Then it came to me, I can use my new power in the media to settle this debate.

I am calling you out farmers of the Greater Vernon area. I want to race your fastest cow so I can prove my dad and his neighbour wrong.

You know where I work, how to get a hold of me to set this thing up.

I’m still pretty new in town, so this gives me a chance to get out there in the community a bit more.

Here are the steaks (ahem); WHEN I win, I would like the farmer to make a donation to the Vernon Food Bank and a photo-op with the hunk of beef I just whupped. If I lose, I am willing to work one day for free on the farmer’s farm. The terms are negotiable.

As for the distance, preferably 100-metres or less. I might be fast, but I can’t stand running long distances.

I grew up in Cow-Town, I’ve been to the Stampede many times, but I haven’t worked one second on a farm. I don’t even know how to make a cow run. Hopefully the farmers will know how.

Let me be clear, I am the farthest thing from a farm boy. I have worked manual labour in the past, so one day won’t kill me, right?

The challenge is out there Vernon. I await your response.

Meanwhile, I will be scaling the Stairway to Hell just off Okanagan Avenue as I prepare to establish myself on top of the animal kingdom once and for all.

It’s finally here.

The Royal Bank Cup Canadian Junior A hockey championship tournament Saturday through to May 18 at Kal Tire Place, that is.

And featuring our very own Vernon Vipers, six-time champions to boot, it should be a rollicking good time for all involved.

After months, indeed years, of planning the curtain finally draws open on the action at 2 p.m.

Saturday when the Dauphin Kings and Toronto Lakeshore Patriots hit the ice for the first of 13 games over eight days.

The Vipers play the Carleton Place Canadians at 7 p.m. Saturday.

The home team, then the Lakers, last hosted the national championship at the iconic Civic Arena in 1990. And if you believe in omens, it’s a good sign that 24 years ago Vernon staged a dramatic comeback to beat the heavily favoured New Westminster Royals 6-5 in an overtime thriller.

This year’s version of the championship is set to deliver its own memorable moments and we encourage all North Okanagan residents to take advantage of this opportunity to witness hockey history.

We congratulate RBC Cup chair Mike Lane and event manager Don Klepp, along with the Vipers hockey club, on successfully setting the stage for ‘The Excitement Returns.’

Now it’s time for the five teams to take to the ice and help put the North Okanagan in the sporting spotlight for the next eight days, including national television coverage of the final on TSN Sunday, May 18.

It’s also time for residents to do their part in welcoming teams and visitors to town and showing their support of the RBC Cup by attending a game or two, or three or 13, and help cheer the home team to victory.

Go Vipers go.

industry responds Re: columns by David Black, "The greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime" (April 22) and "The Kitimat refinery proposal: safe pipelines, light fuels and B.C. jobs" (April 28).

Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product at any time.

The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve prevention and ensure producers, transportation companies and spill responders have the best information available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and clean-up in the event of an incident.

Black's articles incorrectly suggested the Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil because of its chemical properties.

The fact is, oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets — in Canada, the U.S. and internationally — to satisfy market demand for increasing Canadian oil production. All options to achieve that goal

School board defends its actions

he school district’s operating budget reductions are the child of the Ministry of Education’s initiative to download costs to school boards.

How is the board responding to the ministry’s cost downloading initiatives?

The president of the Vernon Teachers’ Association is quoted on radio as saying that the trustees appeared to be very silent on this matter.

The trustees are, indeed, not publicly tearing out their hair, gnashing their teeth or engaging in loud vocal tantrums to demonstrate their frustration. Histrionics rarely, if ever, generate positive results.

Instead, we attempt to focus on the source of our funding problems, which in this case, centers on the recent funding actions and decisions of the Ministry of Education, the Treasury Board and the province.

Downloading operating costs to school districts is not entirely a new or recent concept but it is now reaching unmanageable proportions.. The board has sent several letters to the minister of educa-

tion, including one co-signed by both the Vernon Teachers’ Association and CUPE presidents, expressing our joint concerns.

At the B. C. School Trustees Association’s are worthy of study.

And diluted bitumen — oil sands bitumen diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow — is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil.

Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, diluted bitumen meets all the same specifications and behaves the same as other crude oils.

Oil floats on water if it has an API gravity above water’s 10-degree API gravity. Diluted bitumen has an API gravity of 20 to 22 degrees.

Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually weathers and can be driven below the surface by waves or currents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way.

There have been several scientific studies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal government released a research study that demonstrated diluted bitumen floats on salt water — even after evaporation and exposure to light.

The study was commissioned by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada as part of the government’s plan to implement a world-class prevention, preparedness and response regime for marine transportation.

Results of the study will be used to inform spill

In addition at that AGM, the Bboard arranged a meeting with Education Minister Peter Fassbender and directly and personally reviewed a number of issues with him that were of major concerns to our board. Finally, on May 2 , members of the board met with MLA Eric Foster and for the better part of one hour, addressed the topic of cost downloading and its negative consequences.

The school district has a very loyal, dedicated and skilled workforce and when personnel reductions must be made, it is, without question, the most agonizing decision that a trustee must make.

He then put everything back in my wallet and tried contacting me but couldn't find my number. He returned it to the police station where I got it back.

“There’s also an environmental impact from spraying pesticides.”

Fisher made a motion calling for a ban on pesticides in parks but there was not a seconder and the motion died on the floor.

A second motion was then made instructing village staff not to use cosmetic pesticides, but the discussion was deferred to another meeting.

Fisher doesn’t believe public concerns about pesticides and health will go away.

“When a representative from the Canadian Cancer Society presents to us, we need to pay attention to that,” she

said.

However, others on council defend the move to defer the debate.

“We want to look at what the provincial government has done with the integrated pest management program,” sad Coun. Lori Mindnich.

Butler supports further investigation by council.

“As a member of the village, I’m happy they want to get information before making a snap judgement,” she said.

Mindnich isn’t convinced a complete ban is realistic.

“Staff already works hard not to use them.

It’s only in extreme

cases where they may be used,” she said.

“If you tie their (staff) hands and they can’t take care of a problem, what do they do?

Mayor Kevin Acton also agrees that there may be cases where chemical use is necessary.

“None of us want to use pesticides or do anything possibly bad for us, but we don’t want kids crawling on the ground and getting poked by thistles,” he said.

“It doesn’t need to be in the city just like a dairy farm shouldn’t be in the city,” said Coun. Brad Case.

“It should be out in the Agricultural

Land Reserve.”

The city bylaw will regulate medical marijuana production in the ALR, but there is very limited ALR property in Enderby, so such activities are unlikely.

“Our community is not big enough to have proper space for such facilities,” said Coun. Greg McCune.

“We don’t have land remote enough from schools, playgrounds or public areas (as specified under federal rules).”

Medical marijuana production facilities could ultimately be allowed in some areas of the adjacent rural area depending on regional district bylaws.

Grow operations get approved richard rolke Morning Star Staff

A new economic development endeavour is being encouraged to bloom in Lumby.

Council adopted a bylaw Monday that will allow medical marijuana to be grown and processed on industrial land.

“We are the first community in the

area to do this so we’re open for business,” said Mayor Kevin Acton.

Acton anticipates the village will market its openness to medical marijuana production.

“If people have a proposal, they should contact us,” he said.

“We have an empty industrial park that needs to be serviced so let’s get going.”

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Residents are being urged to head downtown.

The inaugural Avenue Market kicks off today on 30th Avenue and a variety of vendors will have displays, while merchants will also participate.

“It will take place every Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. until Sept 26,” said Lara Konkin, Downtown Vernon Association executive director.

Because the event will take place on 30th Avenue, there will be some changes in traffic patterns.

“Portions of 30th Avenue will be closed,” said Cleo Corbett, the City of Vernon’s long range planner.

For May, the two blocks that will be closed are from 32nd to 34th streets from 3 to 8 p.m.

“All streets will be left open to north/south traffic,” said Corbett.

Barricades will start going up at 3 p.m. and parking meters will be bagged to notify motorists of the closure.

For the remainder of the Avenue Market season, 30th Street to 34th

“The city is very pleased to support the DVA in its initiative,” said Corbett.

Opening festivities today will include live music, bracelet making and plasma car races.

There will also be kids’ activities such as including face painting, a bouncy house and a crazy loom.

“Restaurants all along 30th Avenue are open and will have sidewalk patios,” said Konkin.

“Retailers will have merchandise displays on the sidewalks and farmers, artisans and crafters will be vending in the streets.”

The Avenue Market is the latest addition to the Friday schedule.

Also kicking off its season today is the Vernon Friday Night Market at the Village Green Centre parking lot from 3 to 7 p.m.

The Coldstream Farmers Market runs year-round at the Coldstream Women’s Institute Hall Fridays from 2:30 to 6 p.m.

There is a new culinary opportunity in Vernon.

Today, Lake City Casino unveils the Match Eatery and Public House.

“It’s a concept that we are very excited to bring to Vernon,” said Clay Riley, Lake City Casino general manager.

“Match has a West Coast feel, but with a British comfort to it and will feature traditional pub games such

as pool and shuffleboard. We want to offer something new to the area and Match really hits the mark.”

Minors will be able to enjoy the venue.

“As the week graduates into the weekend, so will our entertainment,” said Riley.

“Weekdays will be where you can enjoy a drink after work while weekends will be energetic and vibrant with live music and dancing.”

School closures are not on the table for the North OkanaganShuswap School District upcoming budget deliberations but just about everything else is being considered for cutbacks to cope with a $1.8 million deficit.

which details suggestions for cuts based on input from the public, parent and employee groups and preliminary budget discussions with school trustees.

“Unfortunately, the funding levels have not been increased to cover the escalating cost pressures that school districts have and continue to face. Unless this changes, school districts will be required to continue to reduce the programs, services and levels of service in our education system,” writes Olson in his report to the board.

A portion of the budget reductions are directly related to a decline in enrolment, particularly in the secondary grades, resulting in staffing and supply reductions of $620,000 without impacting the

current level of service in the school district.

This, however, leaves a remaining deficit of $1.2 million that has to be cut from school district operations.

The report suggests a number of cuts across a vast area of school district programs including: reductions in music program administration to save $40,000, speech and language pathologists to save $20,000, cuts to deaf and hard of hearing programs to save $20,000, gifted program cuts to save $20,000, special education teachers reductions for a $40,000 savings, and counselling staff cuts shared between secondary and middle schools to save a total of $50,000.

Other notable reductions in staffing come to teacher/librarians,

where the suggestion is to change the elementary and middle school staffing ratios to match the secondary school level of one full time position for 700 students. This will mean cuts of nearly three full-time positions for a saving of $284,400.

Cuts are also suggested for the family life teaching position to save $60,000. If passed, this means regular classroom teachers will be required to teach the family life components of the curriculum.

Department services and supply budgets, including professional development and travel expenses, are being cut by $266,600, while substitute and replacements budgets are being cut by $100,000, primarily from a reduction in professional development leaves.

Starbucks brews up support for centre Morning Star Staff

Starbucks Coffee Company staff answered the call to help revive the native plant gardens at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre.

As part of the Starbucks Community Foundation, employees dedicated their volunteer hours to completing numerous tasks around the grounds including weeding, cleaning and painting.

“We’re getting ready for the season,” said Janice Buick, event and volunteer co-ordinator at ABNC “Starbucks was kind enough to match volunteer hours to the centre.”

Joining Starbucks volunteers were students from the First Peoples Academy at W.L. Seaton Secondary, the North Okanagan Naturalists Club, Allan Brooks and the University

Women’s Alumni.

“Starbucks is committed to the community in our volunteer efforts, and with Earth Day in April, we have a focus on the environment,” said Lori Stensrud, manager at the Fruit Union Plaza location.

“All of the regional stores are represented here as giving back to help create thriving neighborhoods is important to us.”

More than 100 volunteer hours were amassed during the work party.

Buick said that if other community members are interested in volunteering, there is a wide variety of opportunities at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre, including guest relations, special events, buildings and grounds projects, and being a tour guide around the grounds.

Brett Mulcahy tracks the puck in front of goalie Danny Todosychuk, while head coach Jason Williamson explains a drill next to Demico Hannoun at the Vipers’ practice Wednesday morning.

Game on for eager Vipers TYLER LOWEY Morning Star Staff

Too bad life doesn’t hand out second chances like Oprah.

It did in the cases of four Vernon Vipers who get another shot at the Canadian Junior A Hockey League title.

Michael McNicholas, 20, and defencemen Josh Bryan, 21, lost in the semifinals of the Western Canada Cup with the host Nanaimo Clippers last year.

Forwards Brett Mulcahy, 21, and 18-year-old Demico Hannoun lost in overtime in the semifinals at the RBC Cup with the Surrey Eagles last year in Summerside, P.E.I. “I feel pretty fortunate, not many guys get the opportunity to play in one, let alone two RBCs,” said Mulcahy, a Kelowna product.

Mulcahy returned to the Okanagan this year as the Surrey Eagles traded their captain to the Vipers for Chase McMurphy and future considerations.

A Sidney product, Bryan is revelling in the fact that he gets another crack at the Royal Bank Cup. “It feels like someone is looking down on me by giving me a chance to play for the host team. It feels like someone up there wants me to win it,” said Bryan.

The Vipers open the tournament against the Carleton

Place Canadians (54-6-1) of Ottawa Saturday night at Kal Tire Place.

Saturday nights’ game will be the first meaningful game for the Vipers since April 15.

“We have been practising way too long, I’m jealous of all the other teams that have been playing,” said Bryan.

One more sleep until the RBC Cup gets underway.

McNicholas, who came to Vernon in the Aaron Hadley trade with Nanaimo last year, believes the Snakes will be ready.

“Our team last year at Westerns wasn’t nearly as focused as this team is right now. These tournaments are always fun and we will be ready to go,” said McNicholas.

The RBC presents a format unlike anything the Vipers have experienced this season.

“It is going to be different, we gotta treat each game like Game 7,” said Hannoun. “We need to limit our mistakes and make sure we capitalize on the other teams.”

Hannoun came to the Vipers from the Eagles in the blockbuster deal involving Adam Tambellini.

It may have taken two and a half weeks for the RBC to get here for the Vipers, but it will be over before you know it. The RBC looks to be a grind house as the teams that play the finals will end up playing six games in eight nights.

“We know its going to be tough. We need to eat good and drink a lot of water, just like we have been doing all playoffs,” said McNicholas.

The tournament gets underway Saturday with the Dauphin Kings taking on the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots at 2 p.m. The Vipers-Canadians game follows at 7 p.m.

Sunday features the Yorkton Terriers and the Patriots at 2 p.m., with the Canadians and the Kings at 7 p.m.

Carleton’s Andy Sturtz picked up some serious hardware, as he was named the 2014 MVP and the Top Forward at the CJHL awards Wednesday in Calgary.

Sturtz sits second in Canadians’ playoff production with 12 goals and 22 points. He exploded for 51 goals and 104 points in his first CJHL season.

The 6-foot, 185-pound Buffalo product is headed to Penn State University next fall to play for the Nittany Lions.

The Canadians have 10 players committed to NCAA schools next fall. D-man Jim Roll will be attending Lake Superior State along with Vipers’ captain Ryan Renz.

Forward Evan Peterson will head to Colgate University with Vipers’ blueliner Kenny Citron.

Carleton Place set a record with 54 wins and 110 points in the Ontario League this season.

The Kalamalka Lakers and Fulton Maroons advanced to Thursday afternoon’s North Zone Senior AA Girls Soccer League final.

Both teams qualified for the Okanagan Valley Championships next week in Kelowna with semifinal wins Tuesday.

Pleasant Valley was scheduled to battle the VSS Panthers in a Valley wildcard game.

Fulton shut down the Panthers 3-0 in the other semifinal, at Marshall Field.

Shelby Hughes opened the Maroons’ attack after taking a cross from Aryana Jacura.

The Maroons, coached by Eric Ladner, kept pressing and Jacura fed Ashley Eso for a 2-0 lead.

VSS gave up an own goal to complete the scoring.

Rajvir Randhawa and Carlee Meausette were marvellous controlling the ball on the Maroon offence, while Lee Richardson and Sam Orr were bold in the defensive zone.

The Valleys go Tuesday and Wednesday.

It is something I wish every kid could do,” said head coach Bob Dumont.

Hoyland had a superb weekend. The 11-year-old bowled 265, 267 and 258.

Manitoba won with 16 wins, Quebec took silver with 14 wins and Alberta got bronze with 13 wins.

Martian marvellous Morning Star Staff

Saylor Martian ran miles and scored twice as the Red Bulls bounced Team White 3-0 in U14/15 girls youth soccer action Saturday morning at Marshall Field.

The Bulls, who played very hard with only one sub, got a single from Brianna Falk.

Sarah Mugridge and Kaitlyn Morgan were solid in net, shutting down the White Team on numerous attempts, while Sam Myers, Clare Schmidt and Katya Viskari were standouts on the Bulls’ defence.

The Bulls gave a big “shout out” to Blaine Martian for taking over the coaching duties.

Team Red overcame a 4-1 half-time deficit and brushed back the White Knights 5-4.

David Heng and Riley Davis each scored twice, while Gavin Huggins added a single for the Reds, who took advantage of the wind in the final half. Speedy winger Riley Bos ignited several scoring chances.

Sam Frisby, with a deuce, Andre Soto Alvarez, with a 35-yard free kick, and Jaden Steinke replied for the Knights.

Striker Brendan Horsfield was keeper in the first half, while central defender Gavin Donald took a turn in the second, with both regular keepers absent. Defenders Josh Chirkoff and Noah Tiessen were stellar.

Turn-Key, Surveyors tie

Morning Star Staff

Turn-Key and Monashee Surveying FC drew 1-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League action Wednesday night at Marshall Field #5.

Belated birthday boy Nick Croken opened the scoring for Monashee when he outran a defender after Ryan Sharp lobbed the ball over top to Croken, who converted from a sharp angle.

Turn-Key keeper Greg Douma recorded the first save and got a piece of the rebound which just beat Nathan Tucker on the goal line.

Most of the game was played in the neutral zone.

Meanwhile, Salmon Arm Courvas held off the ever-improving Peters

Tirecraft/Concept Physio 2-1 at Marshall #2.

Sean Jenkins buried a rebound after centre midfielder Martin Paris took a free kick which the Couras keeper fumbled, for Tirecraft’s goal.

“Kyle Richardson, at centre defender, was outrageously good,” said Tirecraft manager Brad Conlin.

“And Martin Paris was just a force out there.”

Richardson just returned from four months travelling throughout Southeast Asia. Paris was signed after a stellar indoor season.

North Enderby Timber went to Salmon Arm with one substitute and fell 4-0 to Nation of Domination Eagle Homes.

The Timber dipped to 3-1.

In games next Wednesday, the Salmon Arm Outlaws battle Eagles Homes at Blackburn Park, while the Timber take on Turn-Key at Marshall Field #2 and Tirecraft tangle with Monashee at Marshall #5.

Beacom started on the mound, fanning one before Batchelor made a pair of plays to Eric Foufoulas at third for the final two outs. Harison laid down a perfect bunt in the third to get on base and advance Morris two bases.

Batchelor ripped a two-run double with Morris and Harison touching home plate.

Chris McIntosh ran down a grounder at third and tossed to Foufoulas at home plate for the tag out.

In the third inning, Beacom doubled to left field and later swiped home on an error. Hansen sacrificed one to short to score Gamage.

Morris knocked one down on the mound and threw to Hansen at first for an out. Cherkowski caught a deep fly to right for an out and Morris picked off a runner attempting to steal third.

Vandesande drove in Janzen for the C’s only run in the fifth. Morris struck out the first batter, tagged the runner going home for the second out before Gamage scooped a ground ball to first.

Vernon opened by falling 9-7 to the Kelowna Cubs with Landon Currie going the distance on the mound and adding two hits for game MVP. The C’s then brushed back the Abbotsford Angels 4-1 with Chase, Jacob Soucy, Jarrod Leroux and Doyle sharing the pitching. Huizinga and Soucy each produced two hits. Doyle was stellar at shortstop and took game MVP. In Game 3, the Prince George Knights scored five in the seventh to ground the C’s 11-6.

Doyle, Cherkowski, Chase and Caden Bracken each had two hits. Cherkowski threw three shutout innings against the top-hitting team in the tournament, for game MVP.

News Plan builds Canada

W

orld-class infrastructure is the backbone of our country’s economic productivity.

On Feb. 13, our government announced a $53 billion ‘New Building Canada Plan’ (NBCP). This plan will provide significant funding in support for infrastructure in Canada over the next ten years.

It includes dedicated funding for small communities, Provincial-Territorial allocations, project categories Colin Mayes eligible for support, costsharing thresholds, and public-private partnership (P3) screening requirements. The new plan details will provide municipalities, provinces and territories with the information they need to plan public infrastructure projects in their jurisdictions. Over $32B is specifically available for municipalities through the permanent and indexed Gas Tax Fund (GTF), and the incremental Goods and Services Tax Rebate for municipalities.

For British Columbia, this represents almost $3.9B in dedicated federal funding, including almost $1.1B under the NBCP and an estimated $2.76B under the federal GTF. Our province also stands to benefit from: $4B available for projects of national significance;

mp report

Mother’s Day Buffet Brunch

$1.25B in additional funding available for P3 projects; $10.4B via the GST Rebate which provides municipalities across the country with additional resources to address their infrastructure priorities.

The Small Communities Fund, under the NBCP, will provide $1B in funding to municipalities with fewer than 100,000 residents to build the projects that matter most to them. This is in addition to the almost $22B that all municipalities will receive through the permanent and indexed federal GTF over the next decade.

As of April 1, communities will be able to use the renewed federal GTF towards a wider range of projects, such as highways, local and regional airports, short-line rail, short-sea shipping, disaster mitigation, broadband, brownfield redevelopment, recreation, culture, tourism and sport.

Unlike Building Canada Fund 2007, we will not require framework agreements with provinces and territories, which should avoid lengthy negotiations and delays in the implementation of the New Building Canada Fund.

Your government understands the vital importance of infrastructure and is proud to be implementing the largest long-term infrastructure plan in Canadian history. The New Building Canada Plan will continue to support infrastructure projects that foster economic growth, job creation and long-term prosperity. This is good news for further upgrades to the TransCanada Highway!

Christmas Program December 22nd at 2pm

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) in Vernon has kicked off the campaign for Shoppers Drug Mart Ride Don’t Hide, a nationwide fundraising event with local beginnings.

In 2010, Vernon born-and-raised Michael Schratter embarked on a worldwide bicycle ride that in turn inspired this national fundraising event. His anti-stigma campaign, Ride Don’t Hide, saw him cycle 40,000 km around the globe and raise $100,000 for CMHA. His aim was to generate conversation and bring attention and awareness to the stigma surrounding mental health.

This cause continues to inspire as cyclists in 19 communities across four provinces, including 12 cities in B.C., will join the Schratter third annual Ride Don’t Hide community bike ride in celebration and support of mental health.

“With some 4,500 Canadians expected to participate across Canada on June 22, Ride Don’t Hide is poised to become the largest mental health advocacy event in Canadian history,” said Schratter. “Never in a thousand years could I have expected that it would become what it is today.”

While Schratter, who lives with bipolar disorder, currently lives in Vancouver, his roots remain in town. He grew up in Vernon, graduated from Vernon secondary school, and later went into teaching and journalism. Schratter’s mother, Margit, is a retired teacher who still lives in Vernon.

His brother Ed teaches at Fulton secondary and serves on CMHA Vernon’s Ride Don’t Hide planning committee. It was his late father Jack, a much beloved calculus professor at Okanagan College, whose cycling-related death inspired his son to begin his campaign. The “Jack Schratter Way” bike path is named in his honour.

Vernon’s Ride Don’t Hide 2014 takes place June 22.

All ages and skill levels are encouraged to join, with three different rides to choose from (8.5 km, 17 km, or 40 km). Ride as an individual, join an existing team, or create your own. Registration is $35. Children 12 and under ride for free.

The event begins at Coldstream Elementary (10104 Kalamalka Rd.) with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. Expect coffee and muffins on arrival, speakers to launch the ride and to provide safety rules, radio events crew on location, and upon return, a barbecue, prizes and resource table.

be affected by locking the experience into the center of the brain, the home of the limbic system.

In the counselling field, we refer to this as an emotional charge.

It can then form a ‘trigger’ so that if something similar happens, or our brain perceives it might happen, emotions can resurface instantly (i.e. if you have been in a car accident, you can become hyper sensitive when you drive).

By helping you to release the trigger, therapists can help ease recurring emotion when anything similar occurs.

When the limbic system is calm, our state of mind is positive. When it is chaotic or overactive, pessimism can walk with us daily.

The limbic system can also affect motivation and with it, the belief that a goal can or cannot be achieved.

drug education very seriously. However we cannot provide substance abuse education alone. The fact is, today’s youth are particularly vulnerable to drug use as they are easily influenced because of their age and the constant pro-drug message.

Many of our kids are ill-equipped to deal with these pressures effectively. Messages that promote smoking, marijuana use and alcohol consumption surround them from a variety of media sources, particularly, social media. Our kids are the most valuable assets we have and we need to protect them. Education on the dangers of drugs is crucial and that message needs to come from home and school. You are your child’s most important teacher and what you say and do helps shape your kids opinion towards substance use and abuse.

Please take some time to help prepare your kids for the situations and pressures that they will face.

Your opinion matters to your children – tell them that you expect them to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

Doug Rogers is the Substance Abuse Counsellor for the Vernon school district.

to plant the seed of self doubt or low self esteem into a brain that may have been injured or traumatized………and it can be started quite unintentionally by a comment from anyone who represents authority.

Once the seed is planted, it can be sealed into the depths of our subconscious mind and if it is followed with messages such as ‘be perfect, be strong, be busy, please everyone, try harder’, it may undermine our belief in ourselves, simply because there is no allowance to just ‘be’ who we are.

With help, you can give your limbic system a tune up….. you can take charge and move forward toward your life’s possibilities finding your own peace of mind.

GRAND OPENING

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

SATURDAY, MAY 10

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

10 AM - 5 PM

GIVE AWAYS • DEMOS • BASKET DRAWS

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Okanagan College’s new director of finance won’t have issues figuring out how a B.C. postsecondary institution handles its accounts.

Ann Johnson is an eight-year veteran in the same role at Vancouver Community College, having served as that organization’s director of finance since 2006.

She also brings a wealth of private-sector experience to the role at Okanagan College, which she will be starting in early July.

Before joining VCC, she worked with a startup logistic company that developed into a business with $100 million in annual revenue.

“The opportunity to come to the Okanagan was one I couldn’t resist,” said Johnson.

“The area is a second home for us, and I have great respect and interest in Okanagan College.”

Johnson will replace Chi-Fui Chong, who is retiring after six years at Okanagan College.

New transit route boosts the economy kevin parnell

A proposed new transit route that will link the Lakes subdivision in Lake Country with the district’s town centre will be a positive thing for businesses in the community.

Parkway proving great for emergency crews kevin parnell

Black Press

Once a nightmare for emergency crews in Lake Country, the old Highway 97 along Wood Lake — Pelmewash Parkway — has now become the fastest route for emergency vehicles needing to travel quickly between Winfield and Oyama.

As the travelling public flies through Lake Country on the new Highway 97, the construction of the new highway has freed up Pelmewash Parkway for a quick route between Winfield and Oyama.

“With the new highway, it’s really good for the commuting pubic,” said Lake Country deputy fire chief Brent Penner.

“But the old highway is actually fairly good for emergency response. It’s cutting down our response times.”

One recent incident put the spotlight on the emergency response between Winfield an Oyama.

Late last month, firefighters were gathered in Winfield for training when they received word that a man had fallen into Wood Lake in Oyama.

The fire truck went full code three — lights and sirens — and used Pelmewash Parkway, a relatively quiet stretch of road since the switch to the new highway.

“With the new highway you actually

have to go past Oyama before turning back,” said Penner.

“Now there are very few people on Pelmewash. Those people can see you and there is a lot of time to get around them as opposed to a whole highway of traffic.”

Penner said the old highway used to be a nightmare for emergency crews having to respond as the volume of traffic on the two-lanne stretch made it very slow, especially if the accident were on the old highway.

“All of that traffic that used to be on the highway, no one had any room to pull over for you,” he said.

“It wasn’t a very safe scenario. With the two roads it’s way better. If we need to get to Oyama road, our response times are down quite a bit.”

In the incident in late April, crews made it quickly to the man in Wood Lake and were able to continue CPR before paramedics arrived on scene and transported the man to hospital.

Previously, the availability of both the old and new highway also came into play when the new highway was closed for a short time due to a potential landslide.

Crews at that time were able to easily reroute traffic on to Pelmewash and avoid having to send traffic through Oyama and around Wood Lake as they were forced to do in the past.

The new Highway 97 and the Pelmewash Parkway have changed the way emergency crews are responding to incidents in Lake Country.

No raise for RDCO directors Morning Star Staff

There will be no raises for Regional District of Central Okanagan board members.

The board has approved a report that recommends no change in the current remuneration.

“A three-person independent committee reviewed the current board remuneration structure; received input from existing directors and reviewed board remuneration in other regional districts,” said Bruce Smith, communications officer.

“The committee believes the current board remuneration and expenses bylaw and policy are adequate and reasonable in light of the important civic duties and responsibilities of regional board directors.”

Annual remuneration for the chairperson is $36,000, $14,000 for municipal directors and $14,000 for electoral area directors (plus a supplement based on the number of constituents).

Youth get involved in staging 2014 YAA Fest Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

It’ll be all that and a bag of chips when the fifth annual YAA Fest brings bands, booths, and free food to Polson Park next Thursday.

Hosted by Community Futures of the North Okanagan, the Youth Achievement and Appreciation Festival is about youth, for youth and this year has been partly organized by youth.

“We wanted to find out what youth appreciated and how they could be incorporated, so we have tried to get the youth and high school students more involved,” said Leeann Wilhelm, job search advisor with Community Futures and YAA Fest coordinator.

This year, Clarence Fulton Secondary leadership students have come on board with their ideas and will be volunteering at the event, which takes place at the park’s bandshell area to create more of a festival feel.

“We will have all sorts of things that youth are interested in. The Fulton leadership group will not only volunteer, but will give us feedback. This way it creates skills for them and gets everyone involved in the community to meet employers,” said Wilhelm.

And what’s a festival without music. This year’s YAA Fest features a cross-breed of local musical talent.

Alternative rock bands Amistad and Siesta Motel will crank out the tunes along with acoustic trip-hoppers OM and Our

Kids Have Talent finalists, violin duo Eli Garlick and Hana Friedman.

Rounding out the entertainment is local MC Immaculate, who is making a name for himself in the hip hop world beyond these borders, as is Vernon-via-Nashville singersongwriter-guitarist Raquel Cole.

A number of local organizations will be on site to talk about and display their information, including Community Futures/ Work B.C., Teen Junction Youth Centre, North Okanagan Youth and Family Services Society, Independent Living Vernon, RCMP Jean Minguy Memorial Youth Academy, First Nations Friendship Centre, Okanagan College, Okanagan Boys and Girls Club, and Work Safe B.C. Besides prizes and handouts, youth can also pick up a new T-shirt, printed by Vernon company A.M.I. Clothing, which features the YAA Fest logo, as well as enjoy a free hot dog, drink and bag of chips. Some food vendors will also be on site.

Cameron Fraser-Monroe performs a hoop dance at last year’s YAA Fest in Polson Park. This year’s event, taking place Thursday at the park’s bandshell, has plenty more entertainment, including live music, food, activities and informational booths.

Those wishing to burn some calories can play volleyball or try out the jousting set and/or obstacle course being set up by local company Bounce Hire.

Sponsors for YAA Fest include the United Way, Sun FM, Kal Tire, and Community Futures. The event runs at Polson Park Thursday, May 15 from 3 to 7 p.m.

Tunes for Teeth 3 is back to aid Community Dental Access Clinic Morning Star Staff

Musicians are once again banding together to perform in a fundraiser benefitting a necessary human asset, healthy teeth.

Tunes for Teeth 3 brings awareness and raises funds for the Community Dental Access Clinic, located on 31st Avenue in downtown Vernon.

Opened in 2012, the reducedcost dental clinic is open two days a week and provides basic restorative and hygiene services to low-income people in the North Okanagan needing dental care.

“This is our main fundraiser of the year,” said Laine Lowe, Interior Health community dental hygienist. “Approximately 30 per cent of Okanagan residents cannot afford basic dentistry and many of them end up in doctor’s offices or at the emergency room with abscessed

“We even see children at the clinic. It’s not just for adults.”

Taking place May 23 at Vernon Alliance Church, Tunes for Teeth 3 features three well-known local

acts, Cod Gone Wild, LiLi and Rose, and Lent Fraser Wall.

A regular fixture around these parts, Cod Gone Wild brings a Newfoundland kitchen party to every performance with the band’s branch of modern Maritime Celtic music.

Consisting of singer-guitarist Andrew Mercer, fiddler Anjuli Otter, bassist Roy Kawano and drummer Chad “Rhino” Carter, the Cods were recent semi-finalists in the CBC Searchlight contest for Canada’s best new band, and have been touring around Western Canada on the release of their third album, Battered and Fried.

No strangers to Vernon, LiLi and Rose, aka performers Judy Rose and Tanya Lipscomb, seamlessly combine their styles through the worlds of jazz, pop and original compositions for one unforgettable

display of song, surprises and sass.

A multi-instrumentalist, Lipscomb uses intense passion to compose her original award-winning music, which crosses genres with global inspiration, while Rose’s sultry voice and original French compositions have been broadcast on CBC Radio Canada.

Rose has performed in New York, Chicago and Austin and more recently at the Vernon Jazz Club, and she has played feature roles in local productions of Cabaret and The Vagina Monologues.

The duet is accompanied by classically and jazz trained keyboardist Jim Leonard.

Featuring Neil Fraser and Shelby Wall on guitar, as well as the baritone vocals of celebrated local writer John Lent, the Lent Fraser Wall Trio performs a mix of jazz, roots, folk, and rhythm and blues

Formed 18 years ago, the trio performs mostly original music, as heard on the 2005 album, Shadow Moon, and have performed around B.C., opening for the likes of Leahy, Chilliwack, Campbell Ryga, Long John Baldry, UHF and others.

Tunes for Teeth 3 takes place at Vernon Alliance Church, 2601 43rd Ave. Friday, May 23.

Lumby library launches meet the artist series Greta Helin

For The Morning Star

“I’m sort of a Sunday painter,” says Nina Westaway, who arrives at the Lumby branch of the Okanagan Regional Library Saturday wearing a purple crocheted beret and armed with oodles of art supplies and props, one being a sock hanger.

Smiling impishly, Westaway inverts the hanger and points out the imaginary animal easily seen by those with an eye for the semi-realistic.

“I insisted on being the library’s first featured artist,” she said.

For the month of April some of Westaway’s smaller projects were displayed, mostly abstract which the artist favours. It was this shared passion which captured Vernon resident

Norma Moll’s interest, when she read in the newspaper about the opportunity to meet the artist.

Westaway likes puttering and playing with paint and texture and says she tends to be a little lazy.

In addition to being an avid vinyl collector (400 records), and choral singer, she’s studied desktop publishing which is also presented in her work.

May’s featured artist at the Lumby library is Robin LeDrew.

LeDrew has lived more than 40 years in Lumby, and reflects the passage of time in a particular place through her art.

Apart from fruitful encounters with artists such as Vernon’s Julie Oakes and James Postill, Cherryville’s Lou Hammond and Langley’s

Suzanne Northcott, LeDrew has had very little formal training.

She is interested in the capacity of acrylic painting to facilitate a mixture of photography and drawing.

Currently teaching at the Artistic Connections group, LeDrew is also a member of the Monashee Arts Council and the Village Gallery.

Her Roadside Attraction is a series reflecting the intricate universe revealed by a particular local landscape. Spring, summer, fall, and winter, LeDrew says she is fascinated with the day-by-day and step-by-step extraordinary unfolding of life.

The Lumby branch of the ORL is Greta Helin located in the Lumby Community Centre at 2250 Shields Rd. For more Artist Nina Westaway, left, and Norma Moll work on their drawings at information, contact the branch at the Lumby library Saturday. Westaway was the first participant in the 250-547-9528 or visit www.orl.bc.ca. Meet the Artist series, which takes place at the branch every month.

McLachlan announces Okanagan date

As well, McLachlan founded her own non-profit organization in 2002, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, an initiative to provide after-school music education for at-risk and underserved kids who otherwise would have no access to music programming.

Spidey spins again The Amazing Spiderman 2

hour longer than it should really be.

Again, like the first installment, the 3D is pretty good, flying along with Spidey on his web. The only thing that is missing is the wind blowing on your face.

TAYLOR: One thing that made me happy with this film was the way the writers dealt with what I considered the greatest detriment to every single Spiderman movie ever made, namely the problems Spidey has balancing his superhero life with his personal life. (This is what Pete refers to as “the sappy moments.”) In the original movie series, the constant push and pull between Parker and his (then) love interest Mary Jane became tiresome to the point of ruining the films, at least for me.

The Amazing Spiderman 2 solves his romantic dilemma with Gwen Stacy in an interesting way, which also correlates with the original comic books. Kudos to the writers for (hopefully) putting an end to this problem. However, I suspect that in the next incarnation, we will be meeting his next love interest in The Amazing Spiderman 3: The Curse of Mary Jane.

–Howe gives The Amazing Spiderman 2 3.5 deadly venom shots out of 5.

– Taylor gives it 3.5 unrecognizable Paul Giamatti’s out of 5.

eter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is graduating high school and has grown comfortable in his role as the smart aleck webslinger Spiderman.

When he’s not fighting crime, he’s either trying to solve the mystery of Taylor and Howe his estranged parents or manage his on-again, off-again romance with Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).

With the emergence of three new bad guys in the city, Rhino (Paul Giamatti), Electro (Jamie Foxx) and Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan), Spidey has his web full. However, it’s Parker’s personal problems that get the most attention in the cleverly titled The Amazing Spiderman 2.

We say, “It’s more fun than the first film.”

TAYLOR: Our major complaint with the first film in the rebooted series was that we wondered why the film was made in the first place.

After all, we already had three pretty good Spiderman movies with the first set. We both thought The Amazing Spiderman was slightly less than amazing, but all in all a pretty good summer comic book flick. This second installment is a very similar film. In terms of the look of Spidey, he still seems very CGI. His suit is too shiny and the lighting effects on him were often poorly done.

Spidey often looks quite like a character in a video game, sometimes the bad guys do too. This interferes with my ability to enjoy the movie because I’m busy thinking “that looks fake.”

HOWE: Yes it looked a little fake, but so what, it’s a comic book.

I enjoyed this about as much as the first one. It does have its flaws, mostly to do with the time line of events, but that’s not such a clincher that makes it a bad movie. The thing that annoyed me most is that it dragged out the sappy moments that are dotted throughout. They didn’t really need to be there, making this half an

n his fifth album, Massachusetts singer/

songwriter Ray LaMontagne follows his muse and shifts his folk/ soul sound from roots Dean Gordon-Smith to psychedelic rock.

LaMontagne enlisted Dan Auerbach, of the The Black Keys, as producer and went down to Nashville to lay down the stunningly evocative Supernova.

The duo realized that LaMontagne’s acoustic-based songs are a foundation for semipsychedelic instrumentation and arrangements.

riffing from Auerbach, whose guitar playing is twangy and tasteful.

The songs are reverb-laden with choir-like choruses but rooted in guitars, drums and organ. In the age of automated musicianship and robotic production values, an album like this is a breakthrough. Here are 10 songs that have consistent yet subtly shifting moods.

Supernova references the past (a natural fit for LaMontagne and Auerbach.)The title song has the candid friendliness that many ’70s singer/songwriters possessed.

Ojai references the mellow California dream of The Doobie Brothers and The Eagles, via LaMontagne’s Stephen Stills’ influence.

No Other Way is a beauty of a track – a shimmery chordal blend of Simon and Garfunkel and The Young Rascals’ Get Together hit.

Airwaves is a sound dreamed up by LaMontagne – gentle but insistent. His voice sets him in a classic singer/songwriter category – high, earthy and familiar, and

New England artist Ray LaMontagne has released his fifth album, Supernova. the music captures the mood of summer and sets it to song. The track is typical of the album – a free roaming ambiance in solid structure.

LaMontagne’s songs have a laid-back forcefulness and their references from the past recall and reinforce the open boundaries of the era to achieve their ends. They travelled through there to end up here: a modern folk/soul/psychedelic album that evokes travel, youth, nostalgia and rock and roll daydreams.

Dinner theatre hosts reunion RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

Maz and Me’s brought a lot of smiles to a lot of faces and they hope to do it one more time.

The popular dinner theatre troupe of the 1980s will hold a reunion May 18 at 7 p.m. at the Enderby Curling Club.

“We want former employees and fans to get together,” said Barb Haselhorst, who was one of the performers.

“It’s not a show but there will be improv skits. It’s going to be a blast from the past.”

Maz and Me’s began in the North Okanagan in 1983 and moved to Vancouver in 1988.

It’s hoped the reunion will draw an enthusiastic crowd.

“Everyone remembers Maz and Me’s,” said Haselhorst.

Besides Haselhorst, other former performers expected to be at the reunion are Linzy Lunkwist and Clay Stenberg.

Entry into the reunion is by donation to the Lions Club.

Enderby hit by gold fever Morning Star Staff

Gold fever will abound in Enderby on the long weekend as the Vernon Placer Miners Club sponsors the 23rd B.C. Open Gold Panning Championships and Family Fun Days.

Moving from its longtime spot in Cherryville, the event will be held at Enderby’s Riverside Park and Fields.

“The Enderby Chamber of Commerce is welcoming the competition May 16, 17 and 18, so be sure to mention the B.C. Open when reserving your campsite or hotel room,” said Diane Fulbrook, with the Vernon Placer Miners Club. “We hope the many residents of Enderby and area will come out and try their hands at winning one of the 100 nuggets available in games and the panning competition.

“It’s open to all ages and there is no admission charge to watch the fun.”

The site is open to everyone to spend the May long weekend, where participants can win real gold nuggets for as little as a loonie to $5 for the many games and raffle prizes going on all day Saturday and Sunday.

The fun begins May 16 with music by Jammers at 7 p.m.

“Bring an instrument and a voice and join in the fun,” said Fulbrook.

At 9:30 p.m., there is an evening metal detecting contest, with no lights or digging tools permitted.

“There will be tubs set up to try your hand at panning for $3. You keep the gold in your vial, and expert panners will help people new to panning get started. Then you’re ready to enter the competitions.”

May 17 and 18 start with pancake breakfasts at 7 a.m. both days for just $5, at the Lions Club gazebo.

A metal detecting contest takes place at 9 a.m. each day. And gold panning eliminations for all ages start at 10 a.m.

Saturday with the top-10 in each category to go to the finals on Sunday.

“The youth have their own youth trophy for the highest overall points of both days and nugget prizes for the top-three each day in juniors up to 13 years and teens 13 to 16 years old.”

Adults — 16 years and older — are divided into three categories, with a fee of $10. The novice category is for those new to panning who have never won an event

Sherie Lavalley with the Vernon Placer Miners Club pans for gold at last year’s gold panning championship in Cherryville, where she took the top prize among more than 80 competitors.

This year, the 23rd B.C. Open Gold Panning Championships and Family Fun Days moves to Enderby and takes place on the May long weekend. anywhere in the world. The intermediate category is open to those who have panned regularly for fun, cleaned up at an operating claim, or placed anywhere from first to third at an event on the circuit. And finally, the expert category is for those who pan for profit and have won one or more times at an event on the circuit.

The experts will be panning in the elimination rounds Saturday with everyone else. Two eliminations are reserved Sunday morning for the first 20 who had to work Saturday at 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

Registration and games start at 9 am.

“The 1/2 barrel tubs are placed on stands so no one needs to kneel on the ground, and a stool is handy for little ones.

Lots of splashing happens, so be prepared to get wet,” said Fulbrook. “Flat panning in big tubs uses huge flat disks. Pans are provided so everyone can try them out.

“High rubber boots or hip waders are recommended for this event, as you get right into the water.”

Saturday night fun continues with more music. At 6:30 p.m. the bannock baking contest begins, with ingredients provided. Participants should bring a frying pan, a rack, a turner, and a bowl or plastic bag to mix it in. There will be prizes for adults and youth of nuggets, as well as a Rogers Foods basket. On Sunday, the finals run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The B.C. Open Championship takes place at 2:30 p.m.

“We’ll also have draws and a silent auction, so come join the fun. We have great prizes for this year’s raffle, including a 14.6 gram nugget for first prize.”

The draw takes place May 18 at 4 p.m.

Tickets are available at the B.C. Open and from most club members.

For more information, see www.vernongoldpanning.com or e-mail Ernie Erickson at etgohom@telus.net or Pat Yonkman at patyonkman@gmail.com “Rain or shine it’s a go,” said Fulbrook.

It’s where leaders are made Morning Star Staff

Toastmasters clubs in the North Okanagan are wrapping up a busy season, which has included offering training to staff members at the Regional District of North Okanagan.

Staff members recently completed a six-week Speechcraft course, offered

The introduction to the Toastmasters program delivers a condensed version of a full club meeting and is conducted in six, eight or 10-week sessions.

“Tailored to the specific needs of the business community, we deliver a program to introduce employees to

It was all about bees at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives as beekeeper John Gates spoke to a packed house at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives recently.

Special event coordinator Jean Manifold knew there was an interest in beekeeping from local residents, but was surprised and delighted with the large turn-out.

“With 50 people in attendance, John was kept on his toes throughout his talk with questions from the audience,” she said.

Gates shared his expertise, speaking on everything from the different types of dances honeybees do, to the parts of a beehive, to problems honeybees and beekeepers face, and everything in between. At one point in his presentation he joked with an audience member asking a question, which happened to be his next topic.

“It’s as if I planted you in the audience,” he

The outpouring of the power of God: The triumph of the Red Sea crossing. The earthquake, the wind and the fire of Elijah. The Lord Jesus Christ had travelled around the land working many miracles: the account of the transfiguration, the healing of the centurian’s servant, the raising of the son of the widow of Nain, the calming of the storm, the curing of Legion, the healing of the woman with an issue of blood, the raising of Jairus’ daughter, the feeding of the five thousand.

John Gates shows the audience where the honey is located in the honey frame. said, with a chuckle.

Gates passed around a honey frame from one of his beehives so that everyone could have a close-up look at the honeybees’ work.

In answering a question on whether you can freeze honey, he teased, “Yes, and if you’re my favourite kind of customer, you buy three kilos of honey at a time and freeze it.”

With such interest in the topic, Gates was kept an extra half hour answering questions from the enthusiastic audience.

“Thank you to John Gates, of Gates Bee Farms in Spallumcheen, for educating us on beekeeping basics and piquing our interest to learn more,” said Manifold.

Bridge by Phillip Alder IF HE HAS TOO MANY, TRY FOR AN ENDPLAY Judith Viorst, a novelist and poet, said, “Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands -- and then to eat just one of the pieces.”

Strength at the bridge table is the capacity to stop an opponent with four good trumps from winning more than one trick with them.

However, doing that may require imagination.

In today’s deal, South is in six hearts. West leads the spade queen. South takes the trick with his ace and cashes the heart ace. East’s spade discard is a bad blow.

How can South recover?

It is unusual to bid a slam

after a single raise, but the South hand has few losers.

His three-club rebid was a help-suit game-try. And when North jumped to four hearts to say that he had club assistance, it was a fair gamble for South to bid the slam.

There seem to be two unavoidable trump losers.

However, if South can get his trump length reduced, he might be able to endplay West. This requires finding the West hand with exactly 3-4-4-2 distribution.

Declarer plays a diamond to dummy’s ace, ruffs a diamond in his hand, cashes the spade king, ruffs his last spade on the board, trumps another diamond, cashes the club ace, leads a club to

dummy’s king, and ruffs the last diamond.

Everyone is down to three cards. South retains the king-jack of hearts and a low club. West has three trumps. So, when declarer leads his last club, West is forced to ruff and play away from his heart queen. Six hearts bid and made!

Buyers who like the idea of a big luxury car but also want something a bit sportier will enjoy the dynamic stance, especially combined with the oversized sports wheels.

This is why Porsche produced the Panamera sport-back, with a much higher roof for full-sized adult passengers. The reality is that many professions who can afford this car will more than likely have a family SUV for those times when larger adults or cargo needs to be moved. The front seats enjoy a view to a sumptuous dashboard and luxury filled experience. The best material are used and I find Audi’s computer controller to be one of the easiest on the market.

DRIVE Audi uses a variation of its 3.0L direct injection turbo diesel in five of its models from the practical Q5 and Q7 SUVs to the A6, A7 and A8 sedans. This A7, along with the Q5 and A6 get the newest version of this engine sporting a bump in torque from 406 lb.-ft. to 428 lb.-ft. Torque is what it is all about with diesel engines. The ability to get away from a traffic light and cruise along at highway speeds makes a diesel engine a rewarding vehicle to drive. Put the throttle down and this big luxury sedan just rockets away, the way a huge V8 would have in years past. The up side is that the driver gets all that power but also impressive fuel economy, something that had eluded luxury buyers in the past. The A7 is rated at 8.7L/100km in the city and stingy 5.3L on the highway. In comparison, a 2014 Honda Civic is rated at 5.0L/100km on the highway. For fuel savings and power the diesel is the way to go.

VERDICT The Audi A7 is a lovely car; filled with sex appeal, performance, luxury and prestige but it all comes at a price. Starting at $72,900, the diesel is a $2,500 premium over the base A7. The owner could recapture that additional money over several years of driving thanks to the improved fuel economy. This technology is also available in other, less expensive models, so don’t be too shocked by the starting price. One thing Audi does not have is a 4-cylinder diesel for the The lowdown smaller and less expensive Power: 3.0L turbo diesel models, something both BMW with 428 lb.-ft. of torque. and Mercedes offer. I suspect Fill-up: 8.7L/5.3L/100km there will be one coming in (city/highway) short order, but for now the Sticker price: $72,900 A7 is a prime example of Audi’s expansion into diesel transportation. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Acura MDX has all the bells and whistles ‘‘

It is a powerful and very luxurious vehicle; a real treat to drive.

’’

Ian Harwood

2014 Acura-MDX.

By Ian Harwood

The 2014 Acura MDX is a perfect example of how technology can change your driving experience.

There is no mistaking an Acura, be it a car, crossover or an SUV, the front end gives it away. The front air dam coming to a point, the large grille featuring the Acura logo and the swept back sweeping lines set it apart. The available 19” aluminum alloy wheels on the MDX fills the wheel well very nicely.

When you first open the door of the Acura MDX Elite you immediately notice the refinements and

how everything flows together very well. The driver’s seat is an eight-way power adjustable with a two-way way power lumbar support, and the passenger front seat is an eight-way power adjustable.

The second row is a 60/40 split folding and the third row is a 50/50 split flat folding. With the third row, folded flat there is plenty of room for cargo.

The available Navigation system has voice recognition and a rear back up camera built in. The stereo is a 546-watt ELS surround sound system with DVD/AM/FM/SiriusXM/MP3/WMA tuner with your choice of 10 to 12 speakers including a subwoofer.

The available DVD entertainment system features a

16.2 inch split screen display with HDMI compatibility, no more kids fighting over the remote.

There is an available Collision Mitigation Braking system (CBMS), standard equipment on the Elite, which is constantly monitoring the road for you. If it detects you are approaching another vehicle too quickly it will warn you with a flashing “brake” sign on the instrument panel and if the accident is unavoidable it will tighten up the seatbelts and apply the brakes for you to reduce the severity of the impact. Another safety feature is the blind spot information system. This warns when a vehicle is in your blind spot and flashes an amber light on the inside of each side mirror warning you. Dual stage, dual threshold front airbags, front

side airbags, three row side curtain airbags with roll over sensor, engine immobilizer theft deterrent system are some of the many safety features in this vehicle. I like the power folding, body colored side mirrors with intergraded turn signals.

Power is delivered by a 290 hp, 3.5 Litre, i-VTEC V6 engine with a 6 speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The super handling all wheel drive (SH-AWD) suspension gives you the best ride while maintaining just enough control to keep you safely on the road.

My tester was the MDX Elite that comes fully loaded. After driving around in this vehicle for a week, I started to get used to the technology and how the safety features start to perform, it became natural and helped me relax and enjoy the drive. It is a powerful and very luxurious vehicle, a real treat to drive. I would like to see a little more headroom and the six-speed transmission seemed to have a mind of its own.

Lots of competition in this segment, from Lincoln MKT, Volvo XC90, Buick Enclave, and the Infiniti JX, so if Acura wants to win you over, they have to keep delivering a great product with as many standard features as they can while keeping the price in check.

Fast Facts: 11.2/7.7 L/100 km (City/ Highway) 5 Year/100,000km no small print warranty.

The most commonly replicated classic cars

By Rob Sass

The classic car world is full of “coulda, shoulda, woulda” stories of people who had the opportunity to buy something when it was affordable only to see it sail out of reach.

If you didn’t buy a Shelby Cobra during the Nixon administration for 10 grand, the only alternative for most people today is a replica. Replicas are all good fun unless someone tries to pass one off as the real deal. Here are five of the most common classic car counterfeits: 1. 1967 Shelby Cobra 427: The Cobra might just be the most desirable sports car on the planet.

Not coincidentally, it’s also the most replicated.

With bulging, macho good looks; a big block Ford V-8; side pipes; shattering performance; and only around 300 originals made, it was a certainty from almost the beginning that supply and demand would never be equal. The originals have always commanded good money — by the late 1970s, they were approaching $50,000, and around that time, cottage industries sprang up everywhere to build Cobra replicas. Some were quite good while others bordered on undriveable. A lot depended on the skill (or lack thereof) of the builder. Even Carroll Shelby, the car’s original creator, got into the act.

Some argue that the 1992 Dodge Viper was the ultimate tribute to the Cobra. Fortunately, it’s really hard to pass off one of the replicas as the real deal; the Shelby Club maintains a registry of the real cars by serial number and history We believe that every classic car has a story. Tell us yours here.

2. 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder: The 550 Spyder (of James Dean death car fame) and the more common bathtub-like Porsche 356 Speedster have a long history of being replicated. Vancouver company Intermeccanica makes very high quality Speedster replicas, while Beck in the U.S. has a great reputation for making 550 Spyder replicas. Because the originals were alloy and steel, respectively, and the replicas are fibreglass, there’s no danger of one

Ferrari 308 GTS: After the “Ferris Bueller” car, the Ferrari with the most screen exposure was the red Ferrari 308 GTS that Tom Selleck drove on “Magnum P.I.” Conveniently, as the 308 reached the apex of its fame via the TV show, Pontiac came out with the mid-engine Fiero, whose space frame design combined with non-stressed removable plastic body panels made it the ideal platform for conversions designed to simulate far more expensive mid-engine exot1967 Shelby Cobra replica .

MC DONALD, Charles Mr. Charlie Bernard Mc Donald of Vernon, BC, born and raised in St. Andrews West, Ontario, passed away suddenly in his sleep on Saturday April 12, 2014 at the age of 64 years. He was the cherished son of the late Leonard (1985) and Florence (1982) Mc Donald of St. Andrews West. Charlie was much loved by his sisters Marg Gobert (Wilf) from Calgary and Brenda Munro (Blair) from St. Andrews West. He was the proud uncle of Geoī Gobert and Jen Gobert Da Silva, Jason, CurƟs and Jana Munro. Charlie was predeceased by several loved aunts, uncles, cousins and his grandparents. He leaves wonderful childhood memories with his many cousins and friends in the area.

Charlie thrived on hockey, lacrosse and baseball in his elementary and high school years in St. Andrews. A car accident in 1970, however, changed his life path. He spent a number of years in Calgary before moving to beauƟful Vernon, BC. We are grateful for the love and compassion of his special friends Arla Mc Leod and George ZuƩy in Lumby, BC, and his priest, Father Dale Normandeau and fellow parishioners of St. James Catholic Church in Vernon.

Charlie is now free of the pain and limitaƟons he endured from all of his injuries. Perhaps he is now enjoying playing some lacrosse again with his dear childhood friend Charlie Mac Gregor in heaven or siƫng down with him for a serious game of chess.

CremaƟon has taken place. A spring burial next to his beloved parents will take place in St. Andrews Parish Cemetery at a later date .Special thanks to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home in Vernon, BC. If so desired, contribuƟons in memory to the St. Andrews Parish ZestoraƟon Fund would be appreciated by the family.
