Final touches ready for Winter Games ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
B.C. Winter Games directors, event chairs and volunteers are making lists and checking them twice. It’s one of the last things left to do as the event, which will feature more than 1,600 coaches and athletes, gets underway Thursday in Greater Vernon, Coldstream, Armstrong, Silver Star and Lumby. “I think what everybody is doing is going over their checklists and make sure what is supposed to have been done by now has been done,” said Akbal Mund, president of the Greater Vernon B.C. Winter Games organizing committee Tuesday morning. “I don’t think there’s a lot left to do. Everything seems all ready to go. We’re just geared up and waiting for the Games to begin.” The two venues that will host outdoor events – Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre and Silver Star Mountain Resort – have plenty of snow. “There are no issues with holding any of the races at those two locations,” said Mund. “Everybody at Sovereign and Silver Star does a wonderful job of looking after the two venues to make sure they’re ready for the kids.” More than 2,000 people signed up as volunteers to help with the Games, and they were honoured with an appreciation dinner Tuesday night at the Wesbild Centre, which will host the opening and closing ceremonies, along with female hockey. A rehearsal for the torch run and opening ceremonies will take place today.

Winter Games warehouse administration volunteer Ed Ewanchuk (left) helps Leith Skinner, traffic control chair, sift through one of the seven boxes of Games signs during preparation for the events Tuesday. The opening ceremonies commence with a pre-event show at 6:15 p.m., followed by the start of the ceremony at 7 p.m. Global TV news anchor – and Vernon native – Randene Neill will be the emcee. The torch is expected to be
brought into the Wesbild Centre at around 8:25 p.m. Thursday, with the person who will light the Games cauldron still a mystery. The torch run will start at 8 p.m. on 31st Street in front of city hall, and go to 30th Avenue. The torch will turn right, go to 33rd Street
and right down to 39th Avenue. From there, the torch will go left on 39th, then right on Alexis Park Drive to 43rd Avenue, then over to the Wesbild Centre. Premier Christy Clark is expected to be at the Games’ opening ceremonies.
Games competition actually begins Thursday with one female hockey game in Lumby at the Pat Duke Memorial Arena at 2 p.m. Team Kootenay will take on Team Fraser Valley. The rest of the games start Friday at the Wesbild Centre. Volunteers at the Games office in downtown Vernon have been fielding a number of enquiries about tickets for the events. Their answer is a simple one. “There are no tickets,” said Brenda Thorlakson, Games office manager. “The opening and closing ceremonies, and all sports events, are gratis. The public is welcome.” The office on Tuesday, said Thorlakson, was “a humming place,” with the switchboard volunteers fielding Games’ questions, and directors and volunteers picking up their supplies. The closing ceremonies are slated from 12:30-3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Wesbild Centre. The Morning Star has coverage of the Games on our website, www.vernonmorningstar.com, and we’d like to see your pictures of the Games, using Flickr.

News Pianist strikes opening ceremonies chord
Y
ou’d think you were in some juke joint down in New Orleans as Brandon Schmor applies his fingers to the keys of one of the 23 pianos in his collection. Playing a fast arpeggio in the style of Jerry Lee Lewis, Schmor pounds away at his Challen of London upright, which gives off that tinny, percussive sound best known as honky tonk. Fascinated by the history of the music genre, and the vast collection of his instruments, Schmor goes on to explain how the honkytonk sound is achieved. It’s an obvious passion that he has shared with his family, and to anyone who will listen. And many have, as the 17-year-old Vernon resident makes a name for himself as an up-and-coming musician on the local scene. On Thursday, many more will be introduced into Schmor’s world as he steps up to a piano and sings at the opening ceremonies of the B.C. Winter Games at the Wesbild Centre. “I love performing,� said Schmor, adding he isn’t feeling any twinge of nerves, and hints that he will perform a certain song from a ‘70s-’80s
piano-singer duo at the ceremonies. “Most of the songs I play, I like to completely improvise. I don’t read a note of music. I listen to music, and play it back as it goes along.� Schmor’s musical abilities were noticed by his mom, Melissa, and his grandparents, Harvey and Deltha Schmor, at a young age. “It started with a blue little tykes piano when a daughter of a friend taught him how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star –– one time, and he had it down pat,� said Melissa. His primary teachers also noticed Schmor’s aptitude for singing. He would often belt out a song in class, but when asked to join in group play, his social interaction was stilted, In Grade 1, Schmor’s behaviour was diagnosed as Asperger’s Syndrome, a type of spectral autism disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. (Asperger’s differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.) “It was definitely not his intelligence that was a problem, it was his ability to

Brandon Schmor practises on the grand piano in his collection for the B.C. Winter Games opening ceremonies. socialize with other kids,� said Melissa. It was while he was a student at Ellison Elementary School, that then vice principal Bob Oldfield helped Schmor develop his musical interests. He arranged for Brandon to have his first upright piano, a Heintzman, which would be the start of his significant collection.
Convinced by his grandma Deltha to take piano lessons, Schmor started with former Vernon instructor Peter Nahirny, who owned a private studio in town. “He taught me the 12-bar blues, and we started listening to various songs,� said Schmor. “He would reward Brandon if he did well at
lessons by teaching him a special song at the end of the lesson. He was a real jazz man, and he helped Brandon stay focussed on his lesson,� added Melissa. Although he experienced challenges in high school, namely from bullying, Schmor says he really found a home in his school’s drama department and even helped write a part for a musical, where he played a hopeless romantic with a penchant for Captain and Tenille songs. In 2009, again under his family’s encouragement, Schmor also decided to enter the inaugural Our Kids Have Talent competition. At first discouraged because he didn’t place in the top 10, he was contacted by the show’s organizer Kath Raeber, who asked him if would perform during that year’s awards gala at the Performing Arts Centre. “Apparently she thought I was quite good,� said Schmor, adding he was especially excited to playing the Performing Arts Centre’s Hamburg Steinway grand piano. “Near the end of the night, I started to run out of songs, so I just started improvising, and it went over quite well. “ Smitten with his first taste of fame, Schmor decided to enter the contest again in
Food group ready to get cooking for Games Continued from A1 Meals will include roast beef and pasta, along with scrambled eggs, omelettes, pancakes, bacon, sausages, cereal and porridge. Lunch will be handled by another of Coombs’ key directorate, Kyla Macaulay of Gumtree Catering, who will set up shop at Fulton Secondary to prepare 1,600 box lunches every day of the Games. Coombs and his volunteer chairs – which also include
Laurell Cornell (equipment), Trish Stamhuis (food volunteers) and Chris Russell (health department) – submitted their ideas for the menu to the local host committee and to the B.C. Games office in Victoria. “Kyla has certainly added her flair to the lunch menu, which is great,� said Coombs. “And Bob has chefs from golf courses that are not busy at the moment helping him out. We’ll be working on about 30 volunteers per meal, some will be helping in the
kitchen, but we’ll have about five or six chefs working throughout the four days.� Cobbs Bread have donated the bread for the foods group and Buy-Low Foods have supplied a great deal of the fruits. Sysco Canada from Lake Country will donate refrigerated trucks to keep the food fresh. “There’s been very little friction on anything,� said Coombs. “Lots of people have been saying ‘we’ll lend you this or we’ll

He’s anxious to get cooking, so to speak. “We’re all anxious to get started,� he smiled. “Us chefs and caterers, we’re not meetingoriented, we don’t fit well into that. Just give us the job and we’ll get it done. “We’ve got a very good team. We’re ready. We’ve got meals to prepare and meals to get out.�

2010, and this time he made it into the top 10. “I performed in the style of Jerry Lee Lewis,� he said, adding his efforts were awarded with a special prize, and $300, which he put towards, what else, another keyboard. Last year, Schmor finally reached the top three in the contest, playing Lucille by Little Richard, and he has since enjoyed a number of public performances for various fundraisers and gigs, more recently at the Vernon Jazz Club opening for local acts such as Kath and the TomKats and Sherman “Tank� Doucette. Schmor, who has also been learning to tune pianos, has a number of events on his agenda, including the JCI’s hospital gala in April. “If I don’t become an antiques dealer, I’ll have a few things to fall back on,� he said. Schmor joins the official ceremony of the B.C. Winter Games at Wesbild starting at 7 p.m. Other performers include The Okanagan Rhythmic Gymnastic and Cirque Theatre Company, Accentz Dance Studio, The WLC-Tones Choir (WL Seaton Secondary), and local singer Melina Moore and her son, Justin Moore, who will perform O Canada.

No firm funding as VJH congestion climbs RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Overcrowding continues at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, but it’s unknown if there’s any provincial cash to alleviate conditions. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon released B.C.’s new budget Tuesday and while there is increased funding for the overall health care system, there was no particular reference to more acute care beds at VJH. “The hospital hit the 193 in-patient mark Tuesday, one over the old record of 192,” said Dr. Michael Concannon, an emergency room physician. “It’s kind of ironic

Monashee MLA, says while there was no specific mention of VJH in the budget, he believes there could be money directed towards acute care beds. “I’m optimistic. There’s a fairly large capital funding envelope for health care, eduction and transportation,” he said. Foster’s next step will be to meet with Health Minister Michael de Jong to discuss VJH’s needs further. “If there was no money, I suggest I would have heard that already,” he said. Foster wasn’t surprised that the province’s financial plan didn’t highlight VJH.

cil is warning township residents to brace for a significant tax hike. With the recent census showing Spallumcheen’s population reaching 5,055, that means the township will now have to pay for policing. Add that to other services costs and the hike could be substan-
tial. “There’s a probability of it being 12 per cent,” said Coun. Christine Fraser. “Right now, how the first draft of the budget sits, there’s a 7.94 per cent increase for policing, and four per cent just for increases in services, that is, what we’re being billed by
the regional district, the library board.” Municipalities whose population is between 5,000 and 15,000 residents pay 70 per cent of policing costs. Those municipalities under 5,000, which the township was until the recent census, had policing provided at no cost.

CAO interviews underway RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The search for Vernon’s new chief administrative officer is moving ahead. Preliminary interviews with candidates hoping to replace Leon Gous began Monday. “We will do about a dozen over the next couple of weeks,” said Mayor Rob Sawatzky, who is part of the search committee. Gous left his position Dec. 31 to re-enter the private sector and about 60 resumes were received in response to the city’s job posting.
“We were pleased with the response,” said Sawatzky. “Obviously we’re attractive as an employer and community.” Once preliminary interviews are completed, it’s anticipated a shortlist of three or four candidates will be developed. The next round of interviews will involve all members of council because Sawatzky says the administrator sets the tone for city operations. A successful candidate could be announced by the end of March, with them starting duties in April.

Project Save-A-Life, sponsored by Silver Star Rotary and the Vernon Fire Department, trained 242 people in CPR Saturday. “This is the 24th year for the event and everything went very well,” said Michael Poznanski, program chairperson. “We see people from all backgrounds. There were a lot of seniors because they see the need for it in their groups, as well as families with their children and groups of co-workers who wanted to learn some good skills.” Participants also had the chance to learn about other health issues with information from a pharmacist on blood pressure and a display about Red Cross. “We’ve heard a lot of stories about how people have had to use CPR in the community and that it is

t’s difficult to find anyone who likes bureaucracy, and particularly paying for it. And it’s that sentiment that’s likely fuelling some hostility towards the City of Vernon spending $600,000 on staff offices once the current library building is vacant. Presently, staff can be found at city hall, an old building on the Coldstream Hotel property and in rental space on 30th Street. Substantial inefficiencies have surfaced because staff are constantly walking between buildings for meetings. The sharing of information and development of relationships doesn’t flow as easily — e-mail will never replace faceto-face — and the public is left wondering exactly where they Richard Rolke should go if they have a concern. By using the library building, the rental office and the Coldstream Hotel site will be abandoned. Not only will that put 61 staff with similar duties together, they will also be within a stone’s throw of city hall for various interactions. There will also be a saving of $60,853 a year by not renting from the private sector. You may wonder why all civic workers can’t be accommodated in city hall. Quite simply, Vernon grew. There were just 11,453 people on the census roll when city hall was brand new in the mid-1960s. Now, there is a population of 38,150 and Vernon has expanded to include Okanagan Landing, Middleton Mountain, Predator Ridge and the Foothills. Business activities were once limited to downtown but now there is a vast commercial district developing in the north end.

Technical standards have changed meaning expertise on engineering and planning is needed. The public is also more demanding in terms of services (who was calling for transit in the 1960s?). It’s been suggested that renovations to the library building should be put on hold until a core review of city services is conducted. Obviously some positions may be deemed superfluous, but there won’t be enough to empty out dozens of offices. That isn’t realistic given the engine needed to keep a city the size of Vernon running. The other suggestion making the rounds is the facility could be turned over to the public. But there’s already sufficient venues for concerts, art shows and kids’ activities (the Performing Arts Centre, the recreation complex auditorium, the Boys and Girls Club, the arts centre, service clubs and hotel ballrooms are among those that immediately come to mind). Of course there’s also been talk of turning the soon-to-be-vacant library over the to adjacent Greater Vernon Museum, which is bursting at the seams. However, what the museum and the community deserves is a purpose-built structure that has the climate and light controls necessary to protect valuable artifacts while also meeting national guidelines for visiting exhibits. Retrofitting the library into a museum would be nothing more than a Band-Aid and that truly would be a waste of money. It’s natural for taxpayers to want fiscal leadership from elected officials and civil servants, particularly during challenging economic times. But by rationalizing physical resources, creating internal efficiencies and eliminating rental costs, a $600,000 investment makes complete sense.
Following months of preparation and anticipation, the time has finally come for Greater Vernon to shine. The B.C. Winter Games are kicked off tomorrow with a special opening ceremony at the Wesbild Centre including a preshow at 6:15 p.m., the official ceremonies starts at 7 and the torch is expected to arrive at 8:25. Come one, come all – but it might be a good idea to carpool as upwards of 5,000 people are expected. The winter, and summer, Games only occur every two years and rotate to different communities around the province. As a result, who knows when there will be another chance to catch all the action at home? The last time Greater Vernon played host was in 1992 (winter) and 1982 (summer). Even if you don’t know any of the 1,149 athletes, 231 coaches or 160 technical officials, the events are still worth checking out. Plus you might catch one of the 34 home-grown stars playing, coaching or officiating the Games. There’s a wide range of action, from judo to girls hockey and badminton to freestyle skiing. And don’t forget, these kids are the best of B.C., so they’re sure to impress. So check out the schedule at www.2012bcwintergames.ca and find some time to cheer on these talented young athletes. But even if you’re not much of a sport fan, the event is still worth celebrating – and you can do just that at the opening or closing ceremonies. While the athletes are the real stars of the Games, our community is shining too as we literally sit centre stage to the event. Andrew Allen meant it when he wrote Your Time to Shine.

eart disease and stroke will take one in three Canadians before their time, and is the leading cause of death for women – more than all cancers combined. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is undertaking even greater action this February – Heart Month – to raise awareness and urge Canadians to take action and take charge of their health – both nationally and in our local communities. It is my privilege to be the inaugural holder of the UBC Heart and Stroke Foundation professorship in women’s cardiovascular health. I would like to thank the foundation for their vision in funding this unique professorship for women’s heart health. The general public still does not appreciate that CVD is the number one killer of women, not only in Canada, but also in most of the developed world. But it is not only the death toll, but also the morbidHAMPERS HELP The Armstrong-Spallumcheen food bank, operated by the Boys and Girls Club, provided more than 150 Christmas food hampers, reaching nearly 600 people in time for the holidays. “It was incredible local support for the food bank. Armstrong and Spallumcheen have a tremendous spirit of giving,” says Merran Davies, centre director. But she reminds us the giving can’t stop here; people need our help throughout the year. Sponsors donated an additional 22 Christmas hampers, generously assembled and donated for families in need. The legion organized the Angel Tree of toys for children, and gifts were provided for youth from Teens Count Too. “Our staff and volunteers were overwhelmed by the generosity,” says Merran. “A heartfelt thank you to the many individuals, community groups, and businesses who gave time, donations, and food.”
ity, disability and associated hospitalizations that need to be considered to truly appreciate the impact of CVD on women’s lives. Two out of three Canadian women have one or more major risk factors for CVD. And while the major risk factors are the same for women and men, diabetes and smoking are much stronger risk factors in women than in men. And, unique to women is preeclampsia, or high blood pressure during pregnancy and gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Both increase the risk of CVD later in life. Historically, research into CVD has focused on men, but this is changing. Women are much more likely to be enrolled in clinical trials of new medications and treatments. And for trials funded by the NIH in the U.S., they must include women unless there are compelling reasons against their inclusion. More and more, medical journals are requestThank you to our donors for your continued support – from all the staff and volunteers Okanagan Boys and Girls Club of Armstrong Food Bank HOSPITAL PROPOSAL I have a proposal for our local representative, Eric Foster, in regards to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital. As a representative in a riding with a large number of citizens relying on the hospital, he has spent a lot of words saying he supports opening the top two floors. If he is truly interested in supporting the people of his electoral district, he should tell the government that he will resign from caucus and sit as an independent if the finances cannot be made available to support opening the two top floors of the hospital. Several actions could result from this. First, caucus would try to ignore him. That would force Mr. Foster to keep his word and sit independently.

ing sex-specific outcome reporting of trial results, and with the establishment of CIHR’s Institute for Gender and Health there is an increased focus on gender differences across all diseases. My current work is focused on young women; those 55 years of age and younger. I believe this is an important demographic to study. While the proportion of young adults having a heart attack Secondly, the caucus could make all sorts of wonderful promises about future actions, especially as another election will be approaching soon. But promises are not action and are used rather arbitrarily by all those in office or seeking office. Thirdly, and the least likely, is that they will actually come up with the money. This is a very simple way in order to see where our government truly stands on health care and supporting families in B.C. as they always remind us they are doing. A very simple way, even if ignored or rationalized away ("That's not the way to go," or "We don't operate that way in government"), to see where Eric Foster stands on health care and supporting families in British Columbia as he always reminds us he is doing.

remains constant, the proportion of women has increased over the past few years. And the likelihood that they will experience another heart attack, or suffer significant functional deficits or die remains significantly higher than their young male counterparts. We also know that they have a poorer health status at the time of their cardiac event and their recovery does not appear to be as quick or as complete as that of younger men. Indeed, the outcomes of these young women are now more like those of older adults. With the funding for this professorship, we will expand on this work with a view to not only understanding the reasons for this difference, but also to affect system changes to improve outcomes. This professorship is a unique opportunity to improve women’s heart health by fundamentally doing things differently. To expand the highway with my two small children in the vehicle with me. We were on a very steep and dangerous slope, about a foot away from rolling down the embankment. Two men separately pulled over and bravely helped me and my children out of the vehicle. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of one of these Good Samaritans. The other man's name is Braden McCrae. He kept my boys warm and safe in his vehicle (amazingly, having two car seats of his own) while I called for a tow truck, and then drove us home. I would like to thank them both for rescuing us and being so kind and helpful, but I am unable to find any further contact information. These two guys are heroes to me and my little ones, and if there is any way you are able to help me get the thanks to them that they so deserve, I would me most grateful. Lisabeth Beckman
our understanding of the problems women face with respect to their cardiovascular health, to identify different ways of providing care, and to effect changes in the system of care. This can only be achieved through meaningful and extensive engagement of many stakeholders, including those outside the traditional research realm of universities in large cities.

You can learn more about the preventable risk factors for heart disease and stroke for both men and women, join the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s cause, take action, share and donate at heartandstroke.ca.

The restorative justice system starts with agreeing to try to agree. People who have committed an offence, called the person who caused the harm, and the victim, called the person harmed, and support people for both, meet to talk about what happened and what could be done to put things right. The process has been available to youth in the Vernon area for the past five years with referrals through schools and police. A variety of offences are eligible to be dealt with through restorative justice, including minor theft, mischief and assault. The person was harmed and the person who caused the harm must both agree to the process. If not, charges are laid and the case goes through the courts. The newly formed Restorative Justice Society — North Okanagan was formerly known as the North Okanagan restorative justice program and the Lumby restorative justice program. “I have worked with the program in the Lower Mainland and I’m a strong supporter. In the legal system there can be a loss of ownership for individuals for what they’ve done,” said Warren Smith, society president and community policing rural pro-

grams co-ordinator. “When they get in touch with the people they’ve done harm to, it helps them to understand what they have done and how people were affected,” he said. If the people involved decide on the restorative \justice program, they meet individually with trained volunteers to prepare for a conference which brings everyone together to tell what happened and how it affected them. “It’s amazing when you get to see people face to face,” said Margaret Clark, society executive director. “It’s not that this is easier. It is harder to accept responsibility and be willing to make reparations. I’m the one who calls the youth’s parents and I get all kinds of reactions from gratitude to indignation. Parents are generally pleased that their child is not going to

took to make the process happen and that the community cares what happened to everyone involved.” The new society is now able to accept cases from the whole North Okanagan and the board has members from the area. There is an advisory committee with representatives from the legal profession, victim’s assistance, probation, and the RCMP. Restorative Justice Society services are also available to adults in some cases. “We are going to keep on doing what we need to do to help people restore their lives. We have an amazing core group of volunteers. Restorative Justice is all building relationships and repairing relationships,” said Clark.

have a criminal record, that someone else will hold them accountable, and that the family is not dealing with this alone. It takes more courage to go through the Restorative Justice process. This applies to the people who have been harmed, as well.” After everyone has had a chance to talk about what happened, they discuss the next step. Most cases reach an agreement, but those who don’t go to court. The reparation can include apologies, writing letters of apology, doing community work, or, as was decided in one case, raising money for a charitable donation. “It ends with a lot of hugging and crying and families and friendships repaired. There is a sense of being able to move one,” said Smith. “Everyone is able to see how much work it

Director uses déjà vu to pen first feature Former Vernon resident Jim Cliffe releases his live action feature, Donovan’s Echo, starring Danny Glover, in Kelowna KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
We’ve all felt it at one time. It usually comes as a visionary flash or feeling that triggers a memory of something that has transpired before. It was déjà vu that instigated former Vernon resident Jim Cliffe into action. Instead of letting the feeling rest to dissipate into his memory banks, he started writing, and eventually fleshed out a story idea for a script with his wife and writing partner Melodie Krieger. That was six years ago, and now that story has turned into Cliffe’s first full-length, live action directorial effort, Donovan’s Echo. “The original idea came from my own experiences of déjà vu that I sometimes get,” said Cliffe.” I thought there might be an idea here. We all experience it, that familiarity, the patterns, so I came with it to my wife and we went with it.” The film, which stars Danny Glover and Bruce Greenwood, is premiering in select cities across Canada, including Kelowna, this week, and follows Glover’s character Donovan after he returns home to discover events from his past are repeating. Plagued by the idea of déjà vu, Donovan is convinced his young neighbour and her mother will be killed on the 30th anniversary of his wife and daughter’s death. Struggling to unlock the pattern, Donovan tries to convince his brother-inlaw, Finnley (Greenwood), to help prevent a similar tragedy. When his facts don’t add up, Donovan’s sanity is questioned. Cliffe’s own story of how the film came to be is part dream, but mostly reality; that of finding financial backing, but being allowed the creative control to be able to direct his vision here in B.C. Cliffe, 39, who is from Sorrento and was schooled in Salmon Arm, came to Vernon in the mid-’90s to study animation at Okanagan University College (now Okanagan College.) “Growing up I always had the desire to get into movies, and I fueled my creativity through animation to fulfil my career,” he said. It was at the Vernon OUC campus where Cliffe got his first foray into filmmaking, making an animated commercial for TV station CHBC. After moving to Kelowna some years later, he, with help from his former instructor Raymond Bailey and students at OUC, directed the short animated film, Tomorrow’s Memoir. The film ended up winning the 2005 Best ComicsOriented Film award at San Diego’s famed Comic-Con. “It was my first attempt and it helped me work towards my film career, ” said Cliffe, who while in Kelowna joined independent film societies and took another film course at UBC Okanagan. The logical next step was to make a feature, and so Cliffe turned to Krieger, whom he had met while both worked for internet company Bridges Transitions –– he as a graphic

Danny Glover as Donovan talks to director Jim Cliffe on the set of Donovan’s Echo. designer and she as a copy writer. “We spent most of 2006 writing, evenings and weekends, whenever we could find free time,” said Cliffe. After writing their script, Krieger and Cliffe send it off to various competitions and ended up placing in the top three for one based in L.A., and also placing high in another competition. “I heard from L.A. from people who wanted to develop the script, but the challenge was I wanted to direct it. I had a background in art and had done story boarding for film, and I thought it would be easy to finance the film,” said Cliffe. “I initially wrote Donovan’s Echo like I had all the money in the world. With a film of this size, I wanted multi locations and a flash-back scene.” Cliffe ended up going back to some old friends he had met while in Kelowna, including Trent Carlson, of Anagram Films, whom he had worked with on zombie feature Fido, which was filmed in and around Vernon. He also made contact with a former coworker, Lance Priebe, whom Cliffe had met in the late-’90s and had remained friends with. Priebe would go on to become one of the three Kelowna entrepreneurs to develop Club Penguin, a virtual game for children that in 2007 sold to Disney for a reported $700 million US. “We both were let go from the same company at the same time. He wanted to create games, and I wanted to create films,” explained Cliffe. Andria Spring also came on board to co-produce the film with Carlson. “It magically came together. We were able to get all our

financing and production done in Canada, as well as distribution with a company out of Toronto,” said Cliffe. “Trent also knew a casting agent in L.A., who put a list of names out to us and one stood out.” That was Glover, best known for his roles in The Colour Purple and the Lethal Weapon movies. “We could so easily see him play into this world,” said Cliffe, who after hearing that Glover was attached, was soon after able to cast Canadian film and TV star Greenwood. Donovan’s Echo went into production in late-2010, shooting on location around Maple Ridge and Fort Langley. “It was pretty exhausting. We had an ambitious 20-day shoot,” said Cliffe. “Danny basically carries the movie in that the audience experiences what he does. They are in his shoes. It has a supernatural sub-plot, and they are marketing it as a thriller, but I think it is more of a drama with heart.” Cliffe and Krieger are hoping for the same kind of déja vu moment they’ve had with Donovan’s Echo as they develop their next screen play. The film has so far enjoyed a successful festival run, opening the Calgary International Film Festival, where Greenwood attended, as well as in Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, and the Pan-African Film Festival in L.A. “We feel very fortunate on how this has turned out and have to thank our producers and crew who did a fantastic job. A director is really as good as his team,” said Cliffe. Krieger and Cliffe will be present to introduce the film and will conduct a Q&A session at its Kelowna screening in the Paramount Theatre on Bernard Avenue, both Friday and Saturday.

Violinist chases the ‘Gypsy’ Morning Star Staff
It takes a special talent to go from performing Praeludium and Allegro in the style of Pugnani by Fritz Kreisler on the violin, to tinkling away at the theme for Family Guy on piano. But that’s just what local music protégé Vincent Li did last year when he wowed audiences and won the local Our Kids Have Talent competition. A member of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the Okanagan (YSO) for the past two years, Li is about to wow audiences once again when he performs Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen (or Gypsy Airs) as one of the soloists in the YSO’s 2012 concert, From Clown to Mountain Kings, this weekend in Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon. “I love playing with this wonderful bunch of people,” said Li, a Grade 9 student at W.L. Seaton Secondary School, who studies the violin under YSO’s esteemed leader and founder Imant Raminsh at the Vernon Community Music School. Even though Li performs mostly classical repertoire with the YSO, he is open to all kinds of music, and knows when to inject a little much needed humour when the proceedings may be getting a little “stuffy.” Hence, the Family Guy theme was the perfect way to cap off his winning performance at last year’s Our Kids Have Talent. “Classical music can seem repetitive to modern, and sometimes people don’t get it. I think it’s good to play something modern once and a while that people will recognize,” he said. Li’s choice to perform Sarasate’s Gypsy Airs actually comes from what could be deemed an unusual source: the film Kung Fu Hustle starring martial artist Stephen Chow. “A few years ago I saw this Chinese movie which had a chase scene where they played this really fast music,” said Li, adding this will be the first time he has played the Gypsy Airs with an orchestra although he has performed it with his brother accompanying on piano before. “It is a really flashy piece in one movement with two parts: one tragic and the other is the chase.” Wise beyond his 15 years, Li has seen more of the world than most people twice his age. Born in New York, Li lived in Toronto until he was four years old, when he and his family moved back to their homeland of Xiandu, China. It was there that he picked up the violin,

with encouragement from his mother. “My mom took it very seriously,” said Li. “She taught me and although she didn’t play herself, she learned a whole lot. It is really competitive in China to get into a decent university, so it helps to get scholarships and music helps in getting a better education overall.” Moving back to Canada in 2006 to settle in Richmond, Li played with the Delta Youth Orchestra as well as a youth chamber string quartet under his mentor, Jonathan Der. He also won numerous competitions at regional music festivals. He and his family came to Vernon in 2010. “My mom is involved with a bottle making company, so we moved to the Okanagan to be in wine country. It’s an idyllic environment here,” said Li. “The community here has also been good to me.” Besides his win at OKHT, Li was awarded a scholarship via the Vernon Community Music School, and also joined the YSO when the orchestra accompanied other ensembles to perform Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks with the Okanagan Symphony last month. And what does he do when he’s not playing music or studying? “I’ll put it out there,” he said, slyly. “I like to break dance.” Li joins the YSO along with fellow soloist, violinist Rebecca Ruthven of Kelowna, as well as conductors Raminsh and Dennis Colpits, in performance at Vernon’s Trinity United Church Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, $10 for seniors and youth, and $5 for children 12 and under, available at the Vernon Community Music School or at the door.

With a taste for swing and sizzling hot jazz, Scott Robertson’s Hot Five burns up the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club this Saturday. Hot Five includes Glen Tremblay on trumpet and vocals, Don Ogilvie on guitar, Jens Christiansen on sax and clarinet, and Jennifer Hodge on bass. Robertson and the band feature the ever popular New Orleans Dixieland repertoire. Also known as “traditional” or “hot jazz,” Dixieland was born in New Orleans in the early 20th century, eventually spreading to Chicago and New York City. Hot Five plays a swinging interpretation of these great tunes. “Each set we play is a mixture of some standard tunes and some arrangements,” said Robertson. “We always strive to stay true to the original style of the tune we choose.” An active bandleader, drummer, teacher, and clinician, Robertson got his jazz drumming start via the pipe band scene. “I started out playing in Scottish pipe bands. One of my pipe band drum teachers, Willie McErlean, was a student of jazz drummer Joe Morello,” explained Robertson. “Because of his influence I was listening to Dave Brubeck Quartet recordings in my teens.” Robertson also developed a taste for swing. “I was inspired by my father, Morris Robertson. While my dad was never a musician, he taught me to love the swing era. I grew up listening to his collection of big band music on vinyl,” said Robertson. Recently, Robertson led his band at the 2011 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and in October, brought his five-piece band for a clinic and workshop at Surrey’s Johnston Heights Secondary School. Robertson was the regular drummer for the Preservation of Swing Orchestra and has worked with musicians like Dal Richards,

Vancouver drummer Scott Robertson leads the Hot Five into the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. Gabriel Hasselbach, Simon Stribling, and Ron Thompson. He also teaches privately and even finds time to conduct drum workshops for Metro Vancouver area schools. Vancouver-based trumpeter Tremblay plays in the classic tradition of his swing era trumpet idols: Louis Armstrong, Cootie Williams, Hot Lips Page, Rex Stewart, and Roy Eldridge. He has performed with artists like Michael Bublé, the Jazzmanian Devils, the Hans Staymer Blues Band, and Personal Funk Device among many others. Ogilvie has played his guitar in almost every style imaginable. For several years he’s been playing with the Roma Swing Ensemble, including a very successful 2007 tour of China. He also stays active in the traditional jazz scene, playing with Red Beans & Rice and New Orleans North.
Sax and clarinet player Christiansen last appeared at the VJC with Robertson’s band Swing Patrol. Talented in many musical genres, Robertson performs with the Fred Stride Orchestra, the Hoppin’ Mad Orchestra, and the Company B Jazz Band. A versatile bass player, Hodge has been gigging since the age of 15. She graduated in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in music from Capilano College’s jazz studies program. In 2006 she helped form the Company B Jazz Band, playing bass and writing arrangements. She also fronts her own traditional jazz band, the Jen Hodge’s All Stars. Hot Five plays the Vernon Jazz Club (3000-31st St. upstairs from Nolan’s Pharmasave) Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 and tickets are $20 ($15 for VJS members) at the Bean Scene and Bean to Cup coffee houses.

All about seeds
W
ith every passing day, I can really notice the sun being warmer and brighter. The days also are getting longer and it is not too soon for me. I had to open the door of my little greenhouse last week as it registered 20 degrees C inside. The next day we had enough snow to make us realize that Jocelyne Sewell winter is still with us. For the last couple of weeks, I have been working with the seeds I saved last season. I like to test their viability by pre-germinating some between layers of shop towels which are heavy enough to be used a few times. I cut a piece which I lay on a foam tray (recycling) and put 10 seeds, spray with water, fold the towel over and insert in a plastic bag. This goes in a warm place like the top of the fridge. If after three weeks, five of the seeds have not germinated, consider discarding them and buying fresh ones. If a few have germinated, the seeds can be sown thickly to compensate for germination failure. I do this with almost all my seeds prior to
A GARDENER’S DIARY
planting and this way I know how much space I need. On Feb. 13 I did 15 sunflower and 35 sweet basil seeds. They had roots on the 15th and I planted them in pots on the same day. On the 17th, two sunflowers were up. For the tags, I use pieces cut from old venetian blinds and waterproof permanent markers. Properly gathered and stored, seeds are a cost-effective way to increase your plant stocks or ensure the survival of your favourite varieties. If you store your seeds in small airtight jars rather than envelopes, include a desiccant to keep them dry. Silica gel packets from pill bottles work very well. I do not like the use of plastic bags, as they trap moisture and could cause seeds to rot. Avoid temperature over 70 F (21 C) and keep them in the dark. I had tomato seeds still good after 10 years. Hybrids, the first generation offspring of two inbred parents, have qualities of vigour and uniformity that has made them popular with many gardeners and farmers. They are even more popular with many seed companies. This is not because of the cost but because the seed produced by hybrid plants is not worth saving and so gardeners and farmers must return to the seed company every
year for a new supply. Standard or open-pollinated vegetables and flowers on the other hand, will produce seed that grows into vegetables and flowers very much like the parents, provided cross-pollination among different cultivars is avoided. For beginners, it is best to work with self-pollinating plants like tomatoes, lettuce, peas and beans. When you plant your seeds, small ones should be 1/8 inch apart, medium ones 1/2 inch and large seeds one inch apart. Last year I had some old lettuce seeds I thought would not germinate and I sow them very thickly. They came up and I had lettuce all over the garden because I cannot bring myself to throw away little plants. Some seeds need light to germinate and some need complete darkness, while others will need a period of cold temperature. With the Internet now it is so easy to find an answer to any questions that you have. Some people still don’t have access to the Internet but some of these questions can be answered on March 3 in Enderby at the seed swap and sale. There is always a good amount of seeds for sale but some are free. This will be my fourth year at the sale, so see you there.

Helping children succeed Morning Star Staff
Success By 6 continues to provide early childhood education opportunities around the province. “We want to educate the community with everyone involved at the table so we can make a better place to raise children,” said Lynne Reside, regional coordinator for Success by 6 for the region covering the North Okanagan, Shuswap, Golden, Revelstoke and Nakusp. “Our main goal is to have kids ready for school through getting what they need in the first five years of their lives when they develop so quickly. Ninety per cent of brain development takes place by the age of five.” Success By 6 programs, funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, in partnership with the United Way and the Credit Unions of B.C., provide a variety of community-based programs, including literacy, nutrition, children’s play, parenting skills development and cultural programs. The local programs are a dropin play group and lunch and the Mother Goose early literacy program for infants, toddlers and pre-school children. There is an outreach to the Punjabi community, and Lumby and Armstrong have developed programs for their communities. The orga-
nization is working on a children’s charter with the City of Vernon, as well as a strategic plan with the North Okanagan Early Childhood Development Coalition members to address community gaps in services for young children. “Something we are currently concentrating on is public awareness of the need to reduce screen time and have children spend more active time playing outdoors. Parents tell us they love programs and the books and other resources we make available,” said Reside, who is enthusiastic about the a new project, The Backpack Kids, backpacks with dolls representing a variety of ethnic backgrounds with items typical of their cultures. These will be available at childcare centres and parent/child groups. She sees a lot more to be done since B.C. has the highest rate of child poverty in Canada, and many parents of all backgrounds struggle with balancing work and family responsibilities. “There are about 800 children born in the Vernon hospital every year so there is an on-going need for support for parents,” said Reside. Last year, Success By 6 funded 646 early childhood development projects in 400 B.C. communities with the support of an estimated 140 local community planning tables.

nd what was that big dump of snow about last week? I was already looking at seed catalogues, anticipating spring; it seemed like it was on its way and then, kaboom! Reality set in. I suspect my spring wishes were overrun by those of Akbal Mund and his hardworking B.C. Winter Games Committee, and I guess I’m OK with that. We needed a good dump of winter for the games, lest we’ve forgotten what happened at the Vancouver Olympics with its lack of snow. Let’s all make it a point to Cathi Litzenberger get out and support our athletes and the games by attending some of the competitions. We can show the rest of B.C. that Vernon is the place to host these kinds of events. If you’re wondering about a schedule, there was a good pullout section in last Friday’s Morning Star listing all the events and times. Today’s recipes fit in with both wishes: mine for a spring-like salad and the second for our winter games, a hearty chickpea stew which would work well with warm fresh bread. A big thank you to all the organizers of these games, and to the athletes, I wish them all the best in their competitions.

Zoning frustrates homeowners ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Four Armstrong properties have alerted city council to a concern if their homes should burn down. Because the four properties on Patterson Avenue and Mill Street are in a C.1 commercial zone, their structures would have to be rebuilt as a commercial property, not as residential homes. And, according to the property owners, the existing bylaw makes getting insurance coverage an issue. “If anyone’s house burns down to the ground, we can’t rebuild on this land, and we can’t make any changes such as putting in a basement or another room,” wrote Cheryl Urquhart in a letter to council. “We cannot buy regular house insurance. We have to go to a non-conforming insurance which will double or even triple the amount
we pay at the moment.” According to Coun. Ryan Nitchie, chairperson of the city’s planning and development committee, zoning was changed to the affected properties in the mid-1990s from R.1 residential to the commercial zoning. He said the intention of the council of the day was to look at Armstrong’s downtown core as a special commercial area, and encourage residences to eventually convert over to commercial occupancy. “What they’re asking is for council to review the possibility of correcting the situation for these properties by adding a text amendment to our bylaw to allow for reconstruction of R.1 residential homes on them,” said Nitchie. Council has passed a motion to have staff work with the city’s planning department and area neighbours to discuss some options.

News Pilots encounter challenging ride Morning Star Staff
Problems plague the Flight4Life adventurers in Australia, including Vernon’s Glenn Derouin, as he and partner Mark Jennings-Bates of Peachland press on towards Emerald from Cloncurry for their Guinness World Record attempt. The parajet expedition pilots are struggling to find a rhythm in the skies of Australia as they attempt to paramotor around the country for charity. Although the duo was expected to cross the 1,000 kilometre mark on the weekend, they are well aware that the route ahead has plenty of distance and challenges for them. Despite persistent head winds, which remain in the forecast for this week, the team is tracking well for their objective as they head south west towards the Towoomba region this week. The team was forced to take a day off in Cloncurry to take care of some maintenance on their equipment after their safety parachute harnesses were burnt on the engines’ exhaust. They have also been struggling with damaged props with launches in difficult terrain or heat. The show must go on however, and the team reflects the persistence and tenacity of the people they are trying to help in the process. Jennings-Bates, the leader of the project, founded a charity with his wife Jackie, www. Rally4life.org. Rally4Life provides relief to communities around the world who struggle with a lack of safe water, education, shelter and sanitation. The team is also raising funds and awareness for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia that provides critical medial and evacuation support for residents across the country, particularly in rural areas. Supporters can follow the teams progress live on the internet with satellite tracking provided by HELIOS Global Tracking. To follow, log into their website at www.theflight4life.com.

Panthers sink Lakers for Zone title Maroons rule senior boys class Morning Star Staff
Karley Fugel drained 16 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the VSS Panthers brushed off the Kalamalka Lakers 62-39 Saturday night in the North Zone Senior AA Girls Basketball Championships at Fulton. The No. 10-ranked Panthers open the Okanagan Valley playdowns Thursday at Sa-Hali in Kamloops against the Okanagan Mission Huskies of Kelowna. “All season, the girls have shown a good ability to get better as the game goes on, and tonight was no different in the championship game,” said Bobby Mitchell, who co-coaches the Cats with Lonny Mazaruk. “We are very proud of the girls. They have worked hard all season and were well deserving of the victory. We are excited to get back to practice and prepare for the Valleys.” Sage Blundell rung up 13 points and nine boards, while Quinsy Leier supplied a dozen points and nine rebounds for the Cats, who won the regular-season title at 8-0. Kal (5-3) got 13 points from Katie Rogers, 10 from Sarah Kelman and eight from Paige Ralston. The Lakers face the Summerland Rockets Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in their first Valley game. The Fulton Maroons, who finished third in the Zone tourney, square off against the No. 8 South Okanagan Hornets of Oliver. The Revelstoke Rams and Princess Margaret Mustangs of Penticton met in a Tuesday-night wildcard tilt at Seaton with the winner drawing the Sa-Hali Sabres Thursday at 1:45. Sa-Hali, at No. 5, are the highest ranked team at the Valley finals. The Brittania Lions of Vancouver and the Lambrick Park Pride of Victoria are one-two in the province. The B.C. tournament goes March 7-10 in Kamloops. Meanwhile, the Fulton Maroons slammed the Pleasant Valley Saints of Armstrong 71-43 in the North Zone senior boys final Saturday night. Steve Porcaro went 6-for-8 from the charity stripe and finished with 17 points for Fulton. Mitchell Rouault
flushed 16 points, Dustin Popoff pocketed a dozen and Austin Richardson counted 10. The Maroons won the regular-season crown at 9-1, edging out the 9-1 Saints on head-to-head point differential. Fulton will face either Okanagan Mission or Valleyview Vikings of Kamloops in their Valley opener, Thursday at 8:45 p.m. at Thompson Rivers University Gym. The Huskies and Vikings played a backdoor challenge game Tuesday night at Fulton. Pleasant Valley, who also advance to the Okanagan Valley playoff tournament, got 12 points from Tian Hannah and eight from Neil McKechnie. Seaton (6-4 regular season) took third spot in the Zones with an 86-78 overtime win over the Kalamalka Lakers, and open the Valleys Thursday at 3:30 p.m. against South Okanagan. The Maroons, who received an Honourable Mention in the B.C. top10 rankings, go into the Valley playdowns as the No. 2 seed. “It’s a very competitive Valley championship this year,” said Fulton head coach Dale Olson. “We have a good chance of going through, but need to play well for all three games. “The boys are playing well right now. We have jelled nicely as a team and are peaking at the perfect time.” Seaton got to the Valleys with some unconscious three-point shooting from Matt MacEachran-Law in the third quarter and six points and several clutch free throws from Chris MacEachran Law in OT. Matt nailed four treys in a row and finished with 19 points, while Chris had 20 points and Alex Baxter 19. Besim Maliqui drained a half-court prayer to spark a comeback in the third quarter. “Paul Major, for us, had a great all-around game,” said Kal coach Rick Serafin. “Max Wilford, Steven Goebel, and Tysen Chippendale played well along with junior call-ups Lucas Ross, Chris Gallant and AJ Jjajj. Nathan Meyer, Nathan Christianson, and Robbie Graydon put in good efforts.” The Valley final goes Saturday at 7:15 p.m.

Playing their fourth game in five days, the last place the Vernon Vipers wanted to be was double overtime, but that’s exactly where they found themselves Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Captain Patrick McGillis made it all worthwhile when he circled from the corner to wire a shot past netminder Dwayne Rodrigue for the winner with 1:28 to play as Vernon brushed back the Westside Warriors 3-2 in a hard-fought B.C. Hockey League thriller. “I was proud of the effort for sure,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. “You could see they were running out of gas, but they found a way.

It’s the playoff partner the North Okanagan Knights really wanted. The Knights, making their post-season debut in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, open a best-of-seven, first-round series Friday night in Kamloops against the Storm. Game 2 goes Saturday night back at the McArthur Island Sports Centre. In eight regularseason meetings with Kamloops, the Knights won three of four overtime games and five times in all. The Storm won two blowouts and the Knights one. The Knights finished third in the Doug Birks Division and seventh overall in the 20-team league, at 35-16-0-1. Kamloops (35-10-1-6) ended up second in the division, six points up on the Knights and one back of the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Games 3 and 4 will go Monday and Tuesday nights at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. The Knights ended the regular season Saturday night in Chase, brushing off the last-place Heat 8-2 behind 2+1 from red-hot Tanner Burns (finished with 22 goals). Cory Hochhausen, Eric Chore and Derek Andrews each netted 1+2 for the Knights, while Lee Muir, Justin Murray and captain Steven Pantazopoulos also scored in support of Aaron Brandoli. Brett Hawyrs had three helpers. Kevin Leschuk and Reece Forman (shorthanded) replied for the Heat (5-45-1-1). Kamloops fell from the penthouse when all-star goalie Lynden Stanwood joined the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters in mid-December. The Storm are led by one of the most potent forward lines in the KIJHL with 20-year-old Kamloops minor hockey graduares Colten DeFrias (37-5895), Chase Edwards (45-38-83) and Tyler Jackson (29-47-76). “I like the way we match up against them,” said Knights’ head coach Kris Mallette. “We play them quite well and we just have to stick to our style, getting pucks in deep and playing a quick transition game.”

Midget Vipers fall to Lions in first round Morning Star Staff
Down 4-0 early in the second period in the decisive Game 3 of the Midget Tier 1 playoff series in Kamloops, Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers’ head coach Jim Armstrong called a timeout. Shortly after, Trevor Pickett finally solved North Kamloops Lions’ goalie Cameron Dagg, from Ryan Beach and Cody Hendrickson. Pickett then batted in another one, from Kyle Clark and Hendrickson, and quickly after, Logan Geefs, from Dennon Leibel and Curtis Sexsmith, made it a onegoal game. The Lions called a timeout and the period finally ended 4-3 North Kamloops. The Lions got one in the early going in the third but Richard Meaney, from Patrick Dove and Clark, got that one back five minutes later with the Vipers pressing hard for the equalizer for the rest of the game. Vernon pulled goalie Max Brown in the late going only to surrender an empty-netter and lose 6-4 in their attempt to gain a berth in the provincials. On Saturday, the Vipers extended the best-of-three series at Civic Arena by winning 5-4. Kamloops scored in the opening seconds, but the Vipers responded with a Hendrickson marker, from Braydon Sophonow and Pickett, while Justin Mitchell, on a backhander from in close, from Clark, gave the Vipers the lead before the end of the first frame. Sophonow, from Hendrickson, made it 3-2 for Vernon after 40 minutes. Meaney,

However, on a powerplay and with their goalie on the bench, Kamloops scored with 33 seconds remaining to make for a very interesting final minute. “We played one of our most complete games of the season Saturday night,” said Armstrong. “And the character and class and hard work we exhibited in that comeback
Sunday is a testament to our team.” Kamloops goes on to play provincials host Kelowna in the next round of the playoffs. The Salmon Arm Midget Tier 1 Female SilverTips, with 10 Vernon players on their roster, opened the playoffs by stopping Kelowna 3-2 Saturday at Shaw Centre. The Tips opened the scoring at 6:06 of the second period with a goal from Hailey Silcocks of Vernon, with assists going to Taylor Lund and Jenna Lazar of Vernon.
Salmon Arm made it 2-0 four minutes later when Lisa Campeau converted from Lund and Lazar. Lund clicked, from Lazar, at 16:52 of the third before Kelowna replied eight minutes later and pulled to within a goal with 3:10 to play. Game 2 of the series with be played in Kelowna on Friday, March 2. Hailey Haskell, Lazar and Ali Roine of the Tips will represent the Zone 2 Thompson Okanagan at the B.C. Winter Games in Vernon. In Midget Tier 2 playoff action, Cinderella left the building when the Vernon Coca-Cola Vipers’ season came to end at the hands of the first-place 15-1-2 Penticton Panthers Saturday night at Priest Valley Arena. The Panthers rolled over everybody this season, but they had their hands full with the newly confident Vipers in a series which saw Penticton win the opener 1-0 at home a week ago. Game 2 started where the first left off, with the Panthers trying to pressure the Vipers with their speed and the Vipers responding in kind. That pressure eventually caused the Vipers to give the Panthers the first goal, on a scramble in front of the net, in the first period. Matt Halvorson stepped up again for the Vipers and scored 40 seconds later on a feed from Tyson Clark to even the score. The Vipers could sense how the Panthers were reeling again from their inability to break through the Vipers’ defence.

The second period was a complete stalemate with the Vipers and the Panthers exchanging opportunities, and Jayden Campbell matched the Panthers goalkeeper save for save.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 22 (VERNON)
Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL A person in a high position at your place of business might start to take you into his or her confidence in the coming months. Some of the information you receive could be used in ways that are personally profitable.
PUZZLE NO. 203
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Although it will be easy for you to get along with most people, you can still expect cross words to come out of your mouth if a nasty person ticks you off. Avoid such types if you can.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
HOW TO PLAY: Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3x3 box. 110330

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you expect friends or family to do things for you that you can easily do for yourself, you’re going to be severely disappointed. You had better be ready to go it alone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Even if you’re sure of yourself, it isn’t smart to forcibly impose your beliefs on others. You might win the argument but alienate your pals in the process. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Although you may be able to see some changes that would clearly benefit your family, your kinfolk may not be prepared to make them. To get their support, they’ll need to see what you see. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Even if another has better ideas, you may not be easily convinced. Make sure that you’re not putting the kibosh on something cool just because your pride is wounded. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your conclusions regarding how others should be managing their affairs will be right on the money, yet when it comes to your own bailiwick, you’ll suddenly go blank. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Avoid inclinations to treat simple situations in a heavy-handed manner. If you take yourself or events too seriously, you are likely to just make yourself sick. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Attend to tasks that require know-how and concentration as early in the day as possible, while you’re fresh and alert.
As time ticks on, your temperament and talents could lose their cutting edge. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Socializing and being with friends will be fun, provided the time spent with them is of short duration. Unfortunately, your social graces might not have much staying power. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Because your temper might have a short fuse right now, you could bring woe to those who cross you and make you angry. Sadly, the probabilities of you misinterpreting others’ intentions will be high. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Have the courage of your convictions, because if you don’t, a know-it-all might try to intimidate you by discounting your ideas in front of others.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder AN ASKING CUE-BID IS REVISITED Albert Einstein said, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” With respect to this column, we should make that: “Learn from yesterday, reprise today, use tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop asking for a stopper.” In yesterday’s column, the opener cue-bid the intervenor’s suit on the second round of the auction, announcing game-forcing values and asking responder to bid no-trump with a stopper in the opponent’s suit. Today, the responder makes an identical inquiry.
South opens one diamond, North responds two clubs, East overcalls two hearts, and South rebids three diamonds. North has game-going values and would like to get into three no-trump, but does not have a heart stopper, so cannot bid no-trump himself. He cue-bids three hearts to transmit that exact message. South does not have a heart stopper either, so continues with four diamonds. (Yes, he might have bid four clubs.) North raises to five diamonds. East takes two heart tricks, then shifts to a club. How should declarer continue? South must not lose a trump trick. The best play is low to the queen on the first round. This wins when
East has king-doubleton or West has a singleton jack. Those two layouts are more likely than East’s having king-jack-third. Declarer wins trick three on the board, plays a diamond to his queen, ruffs his last heart, leads a diamond to his 10, cashes the diamond ace, and claims.

Mrs. Helen Dehod We regret to announce the passing of Mrs. Helen Dehod on Friday, 17 February, 2012. Helen will be lovingly remembered by her children, Rhoda, Wilma, Myran, and David, and by her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Helen was predeceased by her husband William (Bill) of many years in 1990. Bill and Helen came to Vernon from Alberta in the early 1940’s. Bill worked as a heavy duty mechanic for J.S. Galbraith & Son, and Helen worked as a seamstress at Roberts Cleaners for many years. Helen was an exceptionally good cook and loved to cook for her family and friends who came to visit. When Helen knew ahead of time who was coming to visit, quite often, she would get up before the sun came up to make a favorite dish for them so it was ready to serve when they arrived. The family would like to thank the staff of Noric House for their excellent and passionate care for Helen while she was there.

PATERSON, Wilma Lancelyn
Kupker, Frieda October 7, 1920 - February 18, 2012 Mom slipped away peacefully at home early Saturday evening into the arms of her Eternal Saviour. Mom was a long time resident of Oyama, BC before moving to Vernon where she lived for the past twelve years. Predeceased by her beloved husband Karl, in 1991 and all her eleven brothers and sisters. She will be deeply missed by her daughters Doris Horvath (Steve) of South Surrey, BC and Betty Thibodeau of Oyama, BC, her four grandchildren, Kimberly (Andrew), Andrew, Alissa and Caitlin (Arlin) all of Vancouver, BC, and one great grandchild Marcus, numerous nieces and nephews and cherished friends. Mom enjoyed sharing time with her family and especially her grandchildren who brought her much joy. She welcomed the sounds of her grandchildren coming through the door asking if the soup was ready and if the bread was baked. She spent numerous hours tending to the owers in her garden and growing vegetables which she liked to share with her neighbors. She spent many winter evenings knitting hundreds of toques, mittens and slippers which were sent to children overseas. She was always ready to play a game of cards or board game with her family when they came to visit.
PATERSON, Wilma Lancelyn, of Vernon, BC passed away February 17, 2012 at the age of 84 years. A graveside service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiĆ&#x;ng www.mem.com and searching Wilma Paterson under stories. Funeral Arrangements were under the care of First Memorial Funeral Services in Kelowna. 250-762-2299.
