Tyra Regan purchases produce from Heino Peters, of Roots and Greens Farm out of Grindrod, on opening day of the Vernon Farmers Market Thursday morning behind Wesbild Centre. He is selling new crop certified organic spinach, radishes, mustard greens, dill, garlic greens and salad mix along with stored vegetables. The market runs Mondays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Scenes of the North Okanagan could be captivating movie buffs on the posh French Riviera. No Tell Motel, which was shot in Falkland last summer, will be screened at the Cannes Film Market, part of the international film festival, in May. “To turn the movie around in less than a year is pretty exciting,” said Rick Dugdale, a native of Enderby and president of Los Angelesbased Enderby Entertainment. Dugdale hopes exposure at Cannes will lead to international buyers picking up the horror-thriller. There will also be a screening in L.A. in May for domestic distributors. “We’ve had a lot of offers on it. We’re just trying to determine which is the best,” said Dugdale. “The whole world will see the movie by the end of the year.” But it’s expected that No Tell Motel will only hit the big screen in a few limited locations in North America. Most people will see it through DVD and iTunes. “I wouldn’t mind having a release at the Enderby drive-in,” said Dugdale, adding that no discussions have been held with the owners of the Starlight Drive-In. Dugdale isn’t surprised there is considerable interest in his latest film, with a budget of less than $1 million. “We set out to make what the box office wants. Seventy-two per cent of North American film-goers are 14 to 17 years old,” he said. No Tell Motel, was shot at the old Whispering Pines Motel, on Highway 97, over about seven weeks. While preparing for Cannes, Dugdale is moving ahead with upcoming productions in L.A. and South Carolina. He is also casting his eyes towards the North Okanagan again. “I am looking at one that will shoot in the winter. It possibly could be in Vernon,” he said. “Basically it’s about nine people on a ski mountain and Silver Star or Hunter’s Range would work.”
Murder charge upgraded in Van Diest death Morning Star Staff
A charge of second degree murder against a former Cherryville resident in connection with the homicide of an Armstrong teenager Halloween night has been upgraded. Investigators with the RCMP Southeast District Major Crimes Unit and the offices of the B.C. Crown Prosecutor confirmed via press release that Matthew Stephen Foerster’s initial charge of second degree murder has been upgraded to first degree murder in connection with the homicide death of Taylor Van Diest. The 18-year-old was found badly injured near railway tracks not far from her Armstrong home after she had gone out to meet some
VERNON TOYOTA
friends for Halloween festivities the night of Oct. 31, 2011. She died in Kelowna General Hospital that night from her injuries. “The decision to proceed on the charge of first degree murder was based on additional evidence that was not available at the time of the initial charge assessment by Crown,” said Neil MacKenzie with the Criminal Justice Branch. “I can’t be specific at this stage in the proceedings about the actual nature or details of what the evidence is.” Foerster was arrested without incident at a motel in Collingwood, Ont. on April 4. He was flown back to B.C.
Police said at the time that Foerster is also facing charges stemming from an alleged attack at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden escort agency April 12, 2005 and an alleged Cherryville home invasion Oct. 19, 2004. He has been remanded in custody pending his next court appearance in Kelowna May 10. Police released photographs of Foerster, along with a video of him being escorted from a plane to a van, in the hopes it may lead to more information, specifically his whereabouts on or around Oct. 31, 2011. “The release of these photos and video images were made in order to advance this investigation, and in an effort to determine
whether there are any other offenses that need further review,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk in the press release. Should anyone have any information regarding these matters, please call the specially created tip line established for this investigation at 1-888-688-4264. Foerster’s father, meanwhile, made his second appearance in Vernon Provincial Court by video on Wednesday. Stephen Roy Foerster, 58, of Cherryville, is facing charges of obstruction and accessory after the fact in connection with the murder of Van Diest. His court matter was adjourned until April 26.

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR DIESEL BUYERS
Anyone who has been shopping for a diesel truck lately has probably encountered a nasty little nuisance that never existed in years prior. People purchasing a competitive diesel like the Powerstroke or Duramax are strapped with having to remember to put the D.E.F. additive in with their fuel at regular intervals and feedback says it’s quite a nuisance for most people that like to just fuel up and go. It doesn’t increase performance nor does it enhance the engine’s life in any way and that has hurt our competitors since its introduction. Now here’s the great news:

VALUE HEY T E L I WH LAST!
HUGE STRAIN ON THE CANADIAN INVENTORY ALREADY
HURRY IN TODAY!
Dodge Diesels do not use DEF! Until the end of the 2012 model year, Cummins diesels to not require any DEF additive! Yes, unlike our competitors Dodge Cummins Diesels simply require diesel in their fuel systems. If you or anyone you know is in the market for a new Diesel truck, now is the time to secure yours. We took every available order we could to ensure that our local market has every chance to secure a non DEF burning diesel before it’s too late. This is important because once we roll over to 2013 production, even the industry leading Cummins will have succumbed and our 2013 trucks will require the diesel additive. With this in mind, and with our unbeatable “NO-CHARGE” Cummins Diesel offer still in place, there has never been a better time to secure your new diesel pickup from the deal beaters at Vernon Dodge.

News Contest leaves Ripa fan star struck JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff
P
at Gale hasn’t missed an episode of her favourite television talk show in about 15 years. Therefore to say the Parker Cove resident is a fan of the morning show Live! with Kelly, would be an understatement. “I watch it every morning and if I’m at work I PVR (personal video record) it,� said Gale, a 56-year-old Wal-Mart cashier. “I’m a big fan.� So when she heard about a contest to see the show being taped in Banff, Alberta and meet host Kelly Ripa, Gale immediately entered. “I let out a little scream and thought, ‘how exciting,’ because it’s right next door,� said Gale, a former Spruce Grove resident. With the contest being open to virtually all residents of the U.S. and Canada, Gale figured her odds of winning were pretty slim. “Well...I got the surprise of my life on March 19.� Gale was the sole winner of the Live! with Kelly Alberta sweepstakes – complete with a six-night stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. She was quite literally in disbelief. “Is this for real? Are you a telephone solicitor?� she questioned the California caller trying to confirm her entry into the contest. But as she and her husband (Warren) were whisked away March 31 from Kelowna to Calgary on a Dash 8, she knew her dream had come true.
“It was just totally amazing that someone from Vernon won...I was just over the moon,� said Gale, who was treated to a luxurious getaway by Travel Alberta staff. “This was a dream come true because I never would have been able to go and see her live.� Not only did Gale get to see her favourite show being filmed right in front of her, she got a backstage pass to meet the bubbly blond she has been religiously watching every day for more than a decade. Gale posed for pictures with Ripa and executive producer Michael Gelman and was pleased with how genuine the stars are. “They are as real as they appear on TV.� Back at the hotel one evening, the Vernon couple even ran into some celebrities who had appeared on the show earlier that day. “Johnny Galecki (Big Bang Theory) got on the elevator with us and said hi but I didn’t recognize him, he looked totally different. When we got off the elevator my husband said, ‘you dummy that was John Galecki!� As star-struck as she was, throughout her trip Gale was keen on promoting her hometown to all she met. “The whole entire time I was there I kept talking about Vernon and how great it is,� said Gale, who mentioned such area jewels as Sparkling Hill and even gave Ripa Vernon pins and a book on the ThompsonOkanagan. Since returning April 6, Gale is hoping she can persuade Vernon to go Live! just as Banff did. “If Banff got it why couldn’t we?�
Enderby pedestrian identified ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Police have released the name of an Enderby man killed while walking on Highway 97A north of Armstrong Tuesday. They’re also trying to determine the movements of Danny James Noble, 23, just prior to Noble being struck by a vehicle on the highway near Powerhouse Road. “Several people have called in about perhaps seeing him earlier in the evening,� said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.
“Police are still asking anyone who either witnessed the accident or saw him walking on the road prior to 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night to please call them.� Molendyk said early indications are that Noble was walking on the traveled portion of the highway when he was hit by the northbound vehicle. The driver of the vehicle from Enderby, plus a friend of his following, stopped and phoned police. They also began administering CPR. “When our officers arrived they located a man laying in the ditch,� said Molendyk.

Vernon’s Pat Gale won a trip to Banff to meet Kelly Ripa and watch the taping of Live! with Kelly – her all-time favourite morning talk show.
“Our officers administered CPR until the ambulance arrived and transported the victim to Vernon Jubilee Hospital where he later died of his injuries.� Molendyk said the driver and the victim were acquaintances in Enderby. “The driver is cooperating with the investigators,� said Molendyk, who added that it was raining at the time of the collision. The RCMP is asking anyone who might have seen Noble walking along the highway Tuesday night prior to this accident to please call them at 250-545-7171.

New engineer hired in district Morning Star Staff
Coldstream has filled a senior management position. Michael Baker will begin as director of engineering services, May 7. “The engineering knowledge and expertise that Michael Baker has attained in project management and hands-on technical skills in both small and large municipalities will serve our community well,” said Michael Stamhuis, chief administrative officer. Baker is an applied science technologist who previously held the position of engineering technician with Salmon Arm. Prior to that, he worked for Nanaimo as manager of engineering design. Alanna Dean resigned as Coldstream’s director of engineering services Nov. 5, 2011 to pursue other opportunities.
Wednesday. “She’s suggesting we change the whole structure for Coldstream. It doesn’t do anything for anyone else,” said Cunningham, referring to the fact that virtually all other jurisdictions would remain with one director each. Vernon is entitled to a fourth director under the current system because of population growth during the 2011 federal census.
Eugene Foisy, Cherryville director, is undecided on the need for a change. “Are they looking at what Vernon’s got and trying to keep a balance?” he said. “When everyone gets along, it (voting strength) doesn’t matter.” In making her presentation, Besso insisted that Coldstream is under-represented at RDNO.
“Coldstream has a population of 10,134 and the same number of directors as Area E (Cherryville) with a population of 939,” she said. Besso denies her concept is a direct response to Vernon receiving an additional seat at the regional district. “It’s not to take power away from Vernon but to create a balance at the table,” she said.

seen building permit revenue decline during the recession. A 2011 staff report suggested that a taxation level be established at three, six and 10 per cent of the building department’s gross budget for 2012, 2013, 2014 and beyond respectively. “We’re throwing numbers out there, not knowing if we need it or not,” said director Mike Macnabb. Director Howie Cyr also stated that taxation is premature at this point given the other actions the board is taking. Director Eugene Foisy has threatened to pull Cherryville out of building inspection if taxation continues beyond 2012. “We don’t want the wild west out there (with construction) but it needs to make sense,” he said of funding the service. Among the steps RDNO will take is trying to improve communications with residents to reduce the number of building infractions. There will also be escalating fines for repeat infractions. All communities participate in the RDNO service except for Vernon and Coldstream, which have their own functions.

Slowpitch teams and music lovers are about to rock out to some classic tunes when the artists that made them famous headline this year’s A&W Funtastic Music Festival at the Vernon DND grounds Canada Day weekend. “Fans can expect the 2012 Funtastic will feature the best headliner lineup ever,” said Jim McEwan, executive director with the Funtastic Sports Society. Lou Gramm and three of Canada’s most famous party bands, The Headpins, Kenny Shields and Streetheart and Trooper are all expected to perform. “It is great to have Trooper back after an eight-year hiatus. What a better way to celebrate Canada Day,” said McEwan. “They are still one of the most beloved bands in Canada and wrote one of rock and roll’s greatest party anthems, We’re Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time).” Also known for hits Raise a Little Hell, The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car, 3 Dressed Up as a 9 and many more, Trooper will headline the fireworks show on Canada Day, which this year takes place on a Sunday, to close the festival. Opening for the band will be tribute act Aerosmith Rocks, playing all of that band’s venerable hits. Rock legend Lou Gramm, best known as

Bullying begets bullying
I
t’s those couple of words a parent always dreads to hear, but they came out of my seven-year-old daughter’s mouth for the first time the other day. No it wasn’t profanity, but it still had the same effect. “I don’t want to go to school.” Those few words can send so many triggers to a parent’s brain, evoking first the question, “why?”, and then the reasons before you even ask the child. Those thoughts go from the selfish, i.e., how am I going to motivate Kristin Froneman this little person to think otherwise, so I can get to work on time? The other is a more panicinduced one: Is my child scared to go to school? It’s the latter that many parents and children have experienced, being scared to go to school because something is not right. And often the culprit is that age-old problem of bullying. For the record, the reason my child didn’t want to go to school was simply due to malaise. She even tried to pull the old “I’m sick-to-mystomach trick,” running to the bathroom, and returning a few seconds later, saying she threw up. Little did she know I was the master of that same ploy back in my youth. However, unlike her, I had some real reasons not to want to go to school. I am a confessed former bully, who has been on both sides of the fence. My experience as a bully and victim of bullying started with a misunderstanding. In Grade 6, I had heard that a friend’s younger sister had been hit in the face with a skipping rope. The girl accused of wielding the rope was a socially awkward Grade 5 student, who may have had some special needs. I ganged up on her, and made threats. I’ll never forget her face, streamed with tears. However, while that was happening, some older kids from the nearby middle school came

to her defence. And then they set their sights on me when I started Grade 7 at the same middle school. I spent a year being taunted, pushed around, and whispered about by a gang of Grade 8 kids until some of my friends had enough and told the school’s principal about what was going on. My reasoning for not telling an adult about being bullied was that I deserved it in some sort of way. The cycle would repeat itself in high school, but by then I had protected myself by hanging out with the mohawked, trench-coat crowd, nobody really bugged me. And eventually I climbed my way out and got even –– I joined the yearbook staff. Get on my bad side, and I could publish the ugliest picture of you for all your peers to see, forever... (Now who had become the bully?) The lesson in all this: bullying begets bullying. It’s not right, but sometimes it comes from an unexplained place, where a little communication could go a long way. With the addition of cyber bullying, the problem is so much more complex now, it goes way beyond jocks throwing slushes into the faces of glee club members, or name calling. As a reporter, I have spoken to young people, some of them extremely talented, but socially awkward, who have experienced bullying by their peers on the school bus, in the schoolyard, even in their neighborhoods. One even told me he was locked in a room at school and left there screaming before someone let him out. Let’s just say he is no longer enrolled in school, but he has made quite the name for himself as a musician, and so his past problems haven’t defined who he is. And I know a few former bullies who are now caring and loving (Ahem). Things do change. So the day you hear that your kid doesn’t want to go school, don’t panic, but ask questions, and get help if you don’t like the answer. It may not go away right then and there, but it won’t last forever.
Coldstream wants an expanded role in regional affairs and let’s hope other jurisdictions remain open minded about it. The Regional District of North Okanagan will ask member communities to consider providing Coldstream with a second representative at the board table. On the surface, the concept makes sense. Specifically, Coldstream has a population of 10,314 and yet it only has one director. That is no different than Spallumcheen — which is less than half the size at 5,055 — and even smaller Armstrong, Enderby and Lumby. The five rural electoral areas — Cherryville has 939 people — also have one director each. This isn’t about taking anything away from the other jurisdictions because the social, historical and geographical interests of a community often trumps purely demographic factors. But Coldstream has experienced significant growth in recent years and its financial contributions to RDNO services are significant. There is no question that based on the current formula for determining votes, Coldstream is woefully underrepresented. The only stumbling block to Coldstream’s plan could be Vernon, which is shifting from three to four directors under current policies and census figures. It may see another seat for Coldstream — or any other jurisdiction for that matter — as a threat to its role at RDNO. However, another seat could just strengthen the voice of Greater Vernon as a whole. But that aside, the bottom line is that governance hasn’t caught up with the realities of population and such an inequity should be a concern for any jurisdiction that hopes to grow in future years. It is time for the Regional District of North Okanagan to make some room at the table.

Spray park plan panned
T
he idea of a water spray park represents an unenlightened vision for Lumby. Toddlers may perhaps benefit from a spray park, depending on how aggressive the sprays are, by learning not to be afraid of water, although it sounds to me like a pretty rude introduction. The pool is argued to be not well designed to handle toddlers. Surely a toddlers' pool is exactly what's needed then. But for the majority of users, a spray park provides nothing to do. Nothing to learn and nothing to engage interest, since I don't suppose the park will incorporate water cannons with a dozen SLOW DOWN Re: Intersection 30th Avenue., 32nd Avenue, 41st Street and Bella Vista Road. Recently, I witnessed a vehicle traveling north on Bella Vista Road and another vehicle traveling west on 41st Street collide right in the middle of this intersection. Both vehicles went flying — one ended up on 30th Avenue, the other on 32nd Avenue. Both vehicles crossed where people walk. Since the above-mentioned intersection opened in May 2007, I can recall at least five accidents there. So far there have been no fatalities but it only a matter of time before there will be one. I no longer feel safe walking there on the sidewalk with my dog. I think of all of the people who walk on the sidewalk on a daily basis. I often watch the traffic and in my opinion, the problem is speed. Please people, won't you slow down? Rosalie Genier PUBLIC LAND Colour me old fashioned. Years ago when I was a child, provincial parks were for public recreation. Camping fees were kept low so all could participate. All of this is long gone of course, camping has been subcontracted – user pay. Later, the province gave up its rights to other public areas – including Silver Star. That's right, it will cost you to ski

hoses for team water fights, nor would we want it to. This, at an age where they should be soaking up knowledge and skills, not just being entertained. There are cheaper ways of cooling off on a hot day. Also, I have spent some considerable number of hours in Polson Park in Vernon where there is a water spray park. It is rarely used, and when it's not, it's locked inside a high fence. So in Lumby, there will be a sizeable chunk of a public park, unavailable for use most of the time. Russ Collins
on public land in the winter. So far, only minimal grumbling on my part. After all, it does cost money to build lifts as well as to develop and maintain ski runs. Developers should be entitled to a fee for their use – both developed runs and ski lifts. I do feel though, that the public, whether cross-country skiing or simply walking during the summer, should not be subject to access charges. After all, it is our land, when all is said and done. Simply charge for the lifts and value-added runs and no more. Just before you reach Silver Star, and a bit beyond the sign that informs you that you are entering Silver Star Provincial Park, lies the entrance to Sovereign Lake. For a number of years, the local ski club has developed the land and created a network of trails. Not being content to simply walk with nature, they have imported grooming machines to pack down the runs and create tracks in the snow. This, to a large extent, to service the ski racing clubs and its attendant industry. Because this costs money, they have levied a fee on these tracks. Well and good. Where it becomes a bit more dodgy is in their charging fees for snowshoeing. Generally, most snowshoers, to my knowledge, used to enjoy the out of track experience and have little, if any use for modified trails or runs. Let them be. It is after all, public land.

SMART METERS Thanks to Richard Rolke for reporting about smart meters with Mike Pearson. Since I learned on good authority that my health is about to be in serious danger, I have been telling others, warning about the radiation dangers of smart meters in our presentations and everywhere we go in public. There is plenty of evidence against many forms of electromagnetic radiation. When we (Citizensforsafetechnology.org) presented our petitions in the Legislature, Rich Coleman said that the meters are a done deal — if you don't like it, go off the grid or leave the province.
That alternative doesn't work for most of us. I live 20 feet from a wall of 18 meters. That wall is the equivalent of 3,060 cell phones turned on. For the sake of your health, see also www.magdahavas.com and write to cstvernon@hotmail.com. Leila Ward SMART METERS AND BILLING Anyone who claims that their Hydro bill jumped drastically once a smart meter was installed needs to consider the following fact: B.C. Hydro smart meters are still being read manually for billing purposes. Manual meter reading will continue until the entire smart meter network and back-end computer systems are in place later this year. Yes, installed smart meters are transmitting data, but that data is not yet being used for billing purposes. And, yes, one of the one million installed smart meters was found to be not working correctly. On the scale of one million units, that should not be a surprise. And once the entire smart grid system is up and running, a defective meter or system component would be detected instantly. So if people are looking for an answer to a sudden, drastic increase in their hydro bill they should really be looking to human error rather than to technology change as the cause. So far, all but one instance has, in
fact, boiled down to human error. However, no one should ever hesitate to contact B.C. Hydro if they believe there is a problem with their billing. B.C. Hydro replies to all enquiries and refunds customers if a mistake is found – just as one would expect from our public utility. David Field, Co-spokesperson B.C. Citizens for Green Energy

Sovereign Lake now charges kids to sled on public land. When I confronted one of the club members about this, she said that, "It all costs money," even though I noticed the grooming machines had to travel over the sled runs to get to the main tracks anyway. When I asked her of her impression of the parking meters, that used to be installed at Ellison, and Kalamalka Lake parks, and postulated on their return as a form of user-pay for a financially desperate province, she was less than amused. I'm now wondering if we shouldn't bring those meters to Sovereign Lake. After all "it – roads and infrastructure – all costs money." Bill Dunsmore

Carnival goes prehistoric RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Get ready for some yabba dabba doo. Prehistoric Carnival, Carnival Before Time has been selected as the theme for the 53rd annual Vernon Winter Carnival Feb. 1 to 10, 2013. “It’s a theme we haven’t had yet,” said Dave Fletcher, Carnival president. “It really opens up the imagination. It’s not just about dinosaurs. It can be early man and there will be a lot of creative ways people can embrace the theme.” Fletcher says his board was looking for a concept that was open-ended in terms of ideas and the theme is critical to parade floats, events and decorations. Beyond the possibilities of Jurassic Park and Fred Flintstone, a popular Okanagan legend could also surface. “It allows us to fit Ogopogo into things,” said Fletcher.
(Organic Local Beef)
— Dave Fletcher Carnival’s honoured city will also be selected based on the theme. There were about 50 or 60 suggestions to consider for next year’s theme but prehistoric rose to the top of the list. “We wanted to have a fun and family friendly theme,” said Fletcher. Planning for next year’s festival is well underway and the Vernon Winter Carnival Society holds its annual general meeting in June. Anyone wishing to be involved as a director should contact 250-545-2236 or info@vernonwintercarnival.com.
Rules may evolve to ensure non-profit groups can promote their activities in Lumby. Director Rick Fairbairn says Regional District of North Okanagan bylaws will be investigated after the Lumby Public Market’s sign was removed on Highway 6. “It’s important to the community that signage be allowed to a certain degree,” he said, adding that public safety must be considered. “I’ve brought it up with our staff and I will call all interested parties together to see if we can make amendments in the bylaw.” Presently, signs are only allowed on land if they advertise a product, service or activity on that property. The market sign was located on private land some distance from Oval Park where the market occurs.
Market officials have stated that the removal of the sign makes it difficult for visitors to know where the market takes place. The Lumby Chamber of Commerce is willing to add a Lumby Public Market sign to its approved sign on Highway 6. As a result of this issue, the village has also been considering its bylaws and steps are being taken to legalize sandwich board signs put out by businesses. “We already see sandwich board signs and

is providing $75,000 to help Spallumcheen throw an elaborate birthday party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spallumcheen has a lot to celebrate,â&#x20AC;? said Shuswap MLA George Abbott in making the contribution announcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a beautiful, vibrant community for 120 years. This funding will help commemorate this anniversary with arts and culture events as beautiful and vibrant as Spallumcheen.â&#x20AC;? According to a provincial press release, the funds must be used to incorporate arts and culture groups and local artists into the anniversary celebrations. Spallumcheen Mayor Janice Brown said planning for the celebration will begin immediately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At our next meeting (May 7), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start striking up a committee and hearing ideas,â&#x20AC;? said Brown, adding that the township is checking to see officially what the criteria is for spending the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure people will come forward to participate or help out for the event. We want to use the money wisely, celebrate and make sure that everybody in Spallumcheen has a good time.â&#x20AC;? No date for the celebration has been chosen. Brown said the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actual birthday is during the third week in July, but the celebration will not be held then so as not to conflict with the Sturgis North Music Festival and Motorcyle Expo at the MotoPlex Speedway and Event Centre. The province is providing $800,000 to help B.C. communities who are celebrating their 25th, 50th, 100th, 120th, or 150th anniversary in 2012 to incorporate arts and culture into their anniversary celebrations.

Kids offered free flights Morning Star Staff
Local pilots are going to great heights to introduce kids to aviation. Members of the Vernon Flying Club and Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) are offering free flights for kids (eight- to 17-years-old). The COPA for KIDS event gets off the ground Saturday, May 5 at 8 a.m. at the Vernon Airport on Tronson Road in the Vernon Flying Club’s clubhouse. “Aviation is exciting and vital to our nation’s future,” said Marion Ross, event coordinator. “The COPA for Kids Aviation Program is a free-ofcharge aviation program that puts COPA member pilots together with young people between eight and 17 years of age to show them what aviation is all about and to give them an experience of being in the cockpit of an aircraft in flight. “Many people remember their first flight in a small aircraft for the rest of their lives.” A parent or legal guardian must register each child and sign a waiver. Pre-registration is required and bookings will be accepted up to April 30. A spot can be reserved by e-mailing vfchome@ shaw.ca with the child’s name, address, phone number and age. Flights are about 20 minutes in length and each child will attend a short Ground School conducted by a pilot who will do a safety briefing, explain the parts of an airplane and answer questions. Complimentary refreshments for the Junior Aviators will be served following their flight. Space is limited and the event is weather permitting. Call 250-542-1740 for more information or visit http://www.copaforkids.org.

Police credit dog’s actions ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A police service dog team is being credited with saving the life of a suicide attempt victim. Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce said an individual had overdosed on prescription drugs and wandered off into the woods. “Our police service dog was brought to the scene, was able to track the individual and locate them in the bush,” said Proce. “The person was barely conscious when located, and transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital by ambulance. “The actions of the dog handler and the dog very likely saved this person’s life.” Henry Proce The individual remains in hospital. ■ A loud Lumby party early in April required back-up assistance from the Vernon RCMP detachment and bylaw officials. Lumby RCMP attended a loud party complaint on Park Avenue April 6. There were some 40 people in attendance, mostly youth, according to Proce. “The party was very loud with yelling, swearing, drinking, screaming and the usual music,” said Proce, adding that the party spilled into the front and rear yards of the home. Police received multiple complaints of the party. Proce said the property representative was given an opportunity to have people leave the party, but the warning was not followed. Police had to re-attend and the sole officer on duty had to request back-up from local bylaws and Vernon detachment to control the scene. “Parties of this sort become more common as the weather warms up,” said Proce. “Folks are reminded there is a noise bylaw in Lumby and surrounding area.” Over the course of the summer, police will be issuing a single, verbal warning when attending these parties. “If we receive a second complaint, the home owner or representative will receive a $200 noise bylaw ticket on the spot,” said Proce. “Criminal prosecutions can also follow if neighbours are deprived of their right to the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of their property.”

Kokanee shine at home meet Tigers’ season Morning Star Staff
The Okanagan’s top swim clubs descended on the Vernon Recreation Complex pool for the annual Vernon Kokanee Swim Club Spring Invitational last weekend. Attending the meet were Kamloops Classic Swimming, Shuswap Swimming, West Kelowna’s Liquid Lightning, Kelowna Aqua Jets, Penticton’[s KISU Swim Club and Summerland’s Orca Swim Club. In the team ranking, the Kokanee won the meet with 1,300 points, followed by Kamloops with 1,118 points and the Liquid Lightning with 596 points. Anika Kintzel made her B.C. AA time standard in the 200-metre breaststroke with a personal best (PB) two minutes, 17.22 seconds. Brooke Meeks made her B.C. AA standard in the 100m freestyle with a PB 1:16.28. Both athletes will compete at the B.C. AA Championships, June 22-24 in Victoria. Jamie Sullivan made her age-group national standard in the 200m backstroke with a PB 2:26.01, allowing her to compete at nationals, July 25-30, in Calgary. Avril Baldauf cracked the four-minute barrier in the 200m IM, clocking a 3:56.78. A total of 16 Kokanee swimmers had 100 per cent personal best times on the weekend – Zac Benn, Erin Brown, Elissa Bunn, Jade Freeman, Taylor Kelly, Kintzel, Aja Lee, Kiah Lee, Morgan Mardiros, Hannah Mehain, Kenyon Neumann, Madeline Roemer, Jared Ross, Jordyn Ross, Kevin Sullivan and Jaalah Ward. In the Kokanee’s Spring Jamboree meet Sunday, Michael Bruton (3:40.80) and Aidan Oliphant (3:55.06) met the four-minute standard in the 200m IM, meaning they can participate at the KAJ May Long Course swim meet, May 11-13. A total of eight Kokanee had 100 per cent personal best times – Bruton, Landon Hampshire, Graham Johnstone, Jacob Phillips, Andrew Schmidt, Cameron Shortt, Jenna Van de Leest, Cailee Weslowski. Kay Freeman, Rhiannon Gordon-Smith, Zachary Loland, Ryan Mostyn and Oliphant all made their Kokanee competition debuts. The Kokanee will next compete in their first long course meet of the season at the Chinook Invitational, next weekend in Calgary.

Camels reach scoreless stalemate with Stallions Morning Star Staff
Defence ruled the day as Camels FC and the Revelstoke Stallions opened the North Okanagan Soccer League season with a scoreless draw Wednesday at Marshall Field #3. Both teams generated numerous scoring chances, but neither could find the back of the net as signs of early-season rust on the offensive end were evident. The Camels’ Nick Pantaleo was a star anchoring the fullback line and preserving the tie with a save on the goal line late in the first half. Ben Osborn turned in

an exceptional two-way performance. In other opening-night action, Turn-Key Controls used a pair of goals from Preston Tucker to brush back Davidson Dynamite 3-0 at Marshall Field #2. Turn-Key, also sponsorsed by Nolan’s Pharmasave, opened the scoring early when Tucker, fresh off his Sport B.C. College Athlete of the Year Award, converted on a goal-mouth scramble caused by brother Nathan. With both sides short players and trying to find

their legs, Tucker slipped the ball past Davidson goalkeeper Ean Ross off a brilliant through ball from Chris Jahnig. Early in the second half, Brendan Love found a streaking Andrew Pool down the right side who converted the chance in his Turn-Key debut. Kyle Goodgrove, Alex Nolan, Sean Bonnet and Bryce Paterson were solid in limiting the chances in front of goaltender Jeremy Kler. The Monashee Surveying vs Salmon Arm Courvas game will be rescheduled.

The Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League is barely underway and the Vernon Tigers are floundering. Short on manpower, the Cats were forced to cancel their tilt with the Armstrong Shamrocks tonight at Nor-Val Sports Centre. “The work situation in Vernon hasn’t helped us,” said Tigers’ head coach Lawrie Skolrood. “We’ve got guys leaving to work up north. We had three more leave this week.” If the situation doesn’t improve soon, Skolrood says the Tigers’ season might be in jeopardy. They have used Junior B call-ups from the Vernon Re/Max Tigers to fill their ranks in the past, but he says that isn’t a permanent solution. “Call-ups are not a way to go around this. You have to have senior players to have a senior league.” If anyone is interested in taking up the sport, the Tigers will listen. “Anyone who has any kind of athletic ability, we will train them up and see what we can do,” said Skolrood. The Tigers practice 8:30-10 p.m., Mondays and Wednesdays at the Creekside Park box. After next week, practices will be at Wesbild Centre. Contact Skolrood at (250) 550-5358.

Chabot hooks ring honour GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
Lumby’s Alphonse Chabot learned at a young age not to let a fight go to the judges. Boxing as a teenager in an amateur tournament in Vancouver in the late 1950s, he was on the wrong side of a biased decision that went in favour of the hometown fighter. “It was in the finals and he really beat the guy but the local judges gave it to the other guy,” said Chabot’s brother, Leo. “That delayed the fights for 20 minutes because everybody was throwing stuff in the ring.” The unfair decision turned out to be a pivotal moment in Chabot’s career. “He said ‘from now on, I’m going to make my own decisions; I’m going to knock them out,’” said Leo, who, as Chabot’s sparring partner, can attest to the power of his brother’s signature left hook.
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Alphonse Chabot, a former professional boxer, stands in front of a Lumby mural painted in honour of his extraordinary boxing career. “He had a very fast left hand and a strong right, but the left hook was the most powerful. I kept away from the left hook.” Chabot, now 71, went on to box in more than 100 fights (including 11 as a professional), losing only three times, before a car accident in Prince George in 1966 cut his career short and left him
disabled. He lived in a care home in Lumby for 34 years before moving to Vernon’s Gateby Place in 2006. A member of the North Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame, Chabot will be honoured Saturday night at the B.C. Amateur Golden Gloves Championships at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium.
Tony Stamboulieh, tournament organizer and head instructor at Vernon’s CounterPunch Boxing Club, will recognize Chabot’s accomplishments and present him with an award. Stamboulieh will also recognize Chief Roger Adolph, another B.C. boxer who went on to fight professionally in England. Adolph is a
member of the Fountain Band in Lillooet, and is coaching athletes at the Golden Gloves. Training under Lumby’s Jimmy Jenkins, Chabot began boxing at age 12, capturing a Golden Gloves title in 1959 at age 16, followed by a pair of Canadian lightweight titles, one later that year in Toronto, and another in ‘61 in Drayton Valley, Alta. Chabot was also tabbed to represent Canada at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, but elected to turn pro in 1963. Fighting out of San Jose, he complied a 10-1 professional record, winning nine bouts by knockout. Before Chabot’s car accident, Ring Magazine had predicted he would one day become world lightweight champion. Tickets for Golden Gloves are $10 and can be bought at Breakaway Fitness (220-2801 35th Avenue) and at The Bean Scene (2923 30th Avenue).
Lakers earn Oval split Morning Star Staff
The 2002 Okanagan Lakers went 2-2 at the B.C. Bears Spring Hockey Tournament last weekend at the Olympic Oval in Richmond. The Lakers played a smart passing game to double the B.C. Blackhawks 4-2 and ice the Vancouver Selects Blacks 5-4. The Lakers, featuring 14 North Okanagan products, stumbled with an 8-5 loss to the Island Stars and a 5-0 defeat to the Bears. The Lakers, coached by Jason Danbrook and former NHLers Sandy Moger and Byron Dafoe, started their spring season with gold at the Kamloops Ice Pirates AAA Tournament. The Okanagan crew went 5-0, starting with an 8-5 win over the Vancouver Jr. Giants, despite being shorthanded nine times. They then rolled wins over the Calgary Havoc (11-1) and Ice Pirates (5-1) before stuffing the Giants 6-2 in the final. Meanwhile, Gavin Fleck fired the overtime winner as the 2001 Viper Pride shaded the B.C. Blackhawks to win the Gold Division at the Mainland Cup last weekend in Vancouver. The Pride struck first on a goal by Rowan Miller before the Hawks stormed back with three unanswered goals. Undeterred, the Pride replied on a hard slap shot from the slot by Ben McDonald, assisted by defenceman Ley Christensen. With 1:45 remaining and their goalie pulled, the Pride tied it up on a goal by hard-working Kael
Black, assists to Fleck and Miller. Coached by Jonathan Miller, Doug Fleck and Don Brew, the Pride opened the tourney by stuffing the West Vancouver Blackhawks 2-1, with speedster Riley Keyes and Miller handling the attack. Hard-hitting Ben Imrich earned game MVP and Caden Colmorgen took the win. Colmorgen was MVP as the Pride bowed 4-2 to West Coast Elite Hockey Academy. Miller and Colten Irmen netted the Viper goals. In their final round-robin, game MVP Miller scored with the goalie pulled and 18 seconds to play to salvage a 3-3 draw with the Vancouver Jets. Keyes and Dylan Huber each added a single. In a semifinal rematch with the Jets, the Pride played a complete team game to secure a 5-0 win. MVP went to Rory Christie-Hoyle. In Novice action, the 2004 Lakers won the silver division at the Mainland tournament, spooking the Vancouver Mutants 4-3 in OT. Scotty Hoffman capped a stellar solo effort with a nice deke for the winner. The Novice crew – comprising local players Bennett Kuhnlein, Hoffman, Adam Bourgeois, Jace Weir, Liam Leibel and Nicholas Noren – went 1-1-1 in round-robin play, including with a 4-3 loss to the Westcoast Wolverines, a 4-4 tie with the Vancouver Selects and a 9-2 win over the Vancouver Jr. Giants. They bounced the South Surrey Tigers 6-2 in playoff action.

Dr. Lee came out in the second half with a great passing game and created my scoring chances. They equalized at the 67-minute mark on a great goal by Jacquie Hansen, after taking a wonderful through ball from Cindy Worth. Hansen showed good control to out-wait the Salmon Arm keeper before choosing her spot. Lisa Arrotta made some great saves late in the game, including a breakaway stop and then the rebound. The defensive team of Kim Teichman, Worth, Loren Brunelle and Lori Shippy kept the speedy Salmon Arm forwards in check. Leah Frye, Steph Wilson, Andi King and Irene Arrotta controlled the ball in the middle to set up great scoring chances. Tuesday on Marshall #2, Ashley Krause buried a great, curling shot past keeper Katie Hatten as the NET Celtics snuffed the Blazers 1-0. The Celtics controlled the pace and kept the majority of play down in the Blazers’ end. “It was nice to come out running hard from the opening whistle, especially the first game of the season,” said Celtic coach Graham Ross. Brittney Rutter was a standout on the NET defence, controlling the back line.

Derri Ann Cooper and Myra McEwan led the Impact attack with two goals apiece, with singles from Dawn Heiss and Edeen Ramsey. Julie Hamer, who shared netminding duties with Cooper, sparked the offence with some solid corner kicks. The Sistas showed determination and grit throughout the game, their goal coming on a rocket by Andy Zubot. Sherry Weibe was a leader on the back line. North Okanagan United and the Controllers played to a scoreless draw at Marshall #3. NOU substitute goalie Char McNaught and the Controllers’ Michelle Embleton, who missed all of last season to injury, each recorded shutouts.

The Lloydminster Bobcats of the Alberta Junior Hockey League have named former Vernon minor hockey coach Ryan Parent their head coach and director of hockey operations. A native of Saskatchewan, Parent comes to the organization from the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy in Kelowna. His most recent Junior A gig was as an assistant coach with the BCHL Salmon Arm SilverBacks in 2010-11. “This is an awesome opportunity to invest into the lives of the players within the Bobcats organization and to immediately build towards a standard of excellence in the AJHL,” said Parent. Ryan will be in Lloydminster near the end of April, but has already started on the recruiting trail. ■ The BCHL champion Penticton Vees continue their quest towards the Royal Bank Cup as they take on the AJHL champion Brooks Bandits in the Doyle Cup regional series, starting with Games 1 and 2 tonight and Saturday night in Brooks. The winner of the best-of-seven set advances to the RBC national championships, starting May 5 in Humboldt, Sask. Penticton, who set a North American record 42 straight wins, brushed back the Powell River Kings in the BCHL Fred Page Cup final. The Bandits stopped the Fort MacMurray Oil Barons in the AJHL championship series. ■ The Vernon Vipers will hold their annual spring training camp starting tonight at Wesbild Centre. Scrimmages go at 5 and 7 p.m. tonight; 9 and 11:15 a.m., and 4 and 6:15 p.m. Saturday; and 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
Vernon’s Todd Leavitt joined the rare club of pitchers to throw a no-hitter Tuesday in Morris, Minn. Leavitt, a Fulton grad who pitches with the Mayville State University Comets, struck out 17 batters and allowed zero runs on the way to an 18-0 shellacking of the U of Minnesota-Morris Cougars. He was one walk away from a perfect game. The win brings the Comets to 26-14. Leavitt is 2-1 in nine games played, with a 5.40 earned runs average.
Venom unearth Kootenay gold The Vernon Venom struck Under 16 boys volleyball gold at the East Kootenay Memorial Cup in Cranbrook. The boys beat out two Calgary club teams to win the gold. After the first day, the Venom found themselves were third out of six teams, advancing to the semifinals against the Calgary Vibe. Vernon worked hard to beat them in two sets. In the finals, the boys played Canada West, also from Calgary. The Venom squeaked out a 26-24 first set win, and then rallied from a seven-point deficit to take the second set 26-24 to take gold. The Venom will play in provincials, May 5-6.
Goodwin up for hoop award Mitch Goodwin can add another line to his list of high school basketball accomplishments. Goodwin, a former Pleasant Valley Saint who graduated with the Kelowna Owls, has been nominated for Basketball B.C.’s Top Male High School Athlete of the Year. The winner will be announced in Langley, Saturday, April 21, during the Basketball B.C. Hall of Fame and Awards Dinner. The award is based on outstanding play during this past season. Goodwin is up against fellow KSS teammate Braxston Bunce and one other athlete (name not available at press time) for the award. Goodwin was also up for High School Male Athlete of the Year for the City of Kelowna Civic and Community Awards, which went Thursday.
Quotable... “From my experience, no matter who you are, no matter how much skill you have, if you don’t bring your passion to the rink and your willingness to hate your opponent enough to come walk a fine line, then you’re not as useful to your team as you need to be.” – Sportsnet analyst and former NHL enforcer Nick Kypreos, on the increase in aggression in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Kokanee fishery back in operation
012 4, 2 Prices in effect April 20-2

A kokanee fishery in Okanagan Lake has re-opened permanently this month, after a closure in 1995 due to a crash in populations. The return to an open, yearround fishery for the landlocked sockeye salmon will mean anglers may catch five fish per day. Kokanee numbers declined dramatically in the late 1990s, when fewer than three per cent of the number of spawning fish counted in the 1970s were found.

“Just take them as they come.” — Paul Askey
Fisheries stock assessment biologist Paul Askey said the reasons for the decline were complex and varied, but included disease issues, poor water management, a decline in lake nutrients, competition with an introduced shrimp and degradation of spawning habitat. In recent years, numbers have improved and seasonal open-
ings for kokanee angling have been added. A 20-year action plan to investigate and try and solve some of the problems was instituted by the government a dozen years ago. Since then, water management improvements have reduced mortality, as well as maintenance of spawning habitat and a mysis shrimp fishery has been instituted to reduce their numbers. While abundance overall is similar now to that of the early 1990s, Askey noted that the recovery favours shore spawn-
ing stock over stream spawners. Shore spawners tend to be smaller than stream spawning kokanee, so he warns anglers to expect to catch large numbers of the smaller kokanee in Okanagan Lake. It would be irresponsible for anglers to release small kokanee and keep only the big ones because survival of released kokanee is much lower than other species of fish. “They all taste good, so if you’re kokanee fishing, please just take them as they come and encourage others to do the same,” he said.

“There is the professional and service capacity” — Marvin Farkas mentioned. Marvin Farkas, president of the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce and a grad 2013 parent, says the community can meet the main requirements to bring the grad dinner/dance back to GESS. “Certainly there is the professional and service capacity to host the event in Lake Country,” he said. Derek Lea, principal of GESS, says he is completely open to looking at bringing the dinner/ dance back to GESS, especially if the event can deliver a great experience for the grads. “There is a desire to create a send-off for the kids that they will enjoy,” he said. “I think there is some historical pressure to always do better, but I don’t think it has gotten excessive.” In advancing the idea to bring the dinner/dance back to GESS, Farkas worked with Shelli Clipperton of Nor-Val Rentals, Barb Boschert, owner of Sterling Events and Mario from the management team at Aspen Grove Golf Course. The team prepared a quote for a full sit down menu and event plan at two different price points — either $16.95 or $26.95 per plate. Both options come in below stated budget costs for the event. Farkas is hopeful
the school will see the possibilities of a great event at GESS. Capacity remains an issue. Lea says the event has gone overcapacity in recent years, but stated attendance numbers given to organizers showed no appreciable fluctuation in historic numbers when the event was held at GESS. “So long as we can accommodate numbers we can look at viable solutions,” he said. Deb Butler, in her capacity as a parent of a 2013 grad student at GESS, feels there is plenty of space to host a reasonable event closer to home. “Numbers are realistically not an issue; we have former seating plans for 550 people,” she said. GESS tries to allow students three tickets each to the dinner/ dance and for students who have more parents or close relatives who want to attend, every effort is made to accommodate them. The timeline for booking the event at the Grand is generally confirmed in May of the year prior to each event. Should a viable solution be found the students will need to be consulted about their wishes over a location for their grad dinner/ dance in 2013.

Greyhounds will be among the speedy breeds taking part in the Field Trial Conformation Show May 5 and 6 in Lavington. MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO
Whippets ready to race
Morning Star Staff
JENNIFER SMITH
The race cars of the canine world, reaching speeds of 75 kilometres within just three strides, are taking to the track. Lavington hosts the first trial of the season in B.C. for sighthounds May 5 and 6. Greyhounds, whippets, Afghan hounds, borzoi, Irish wolfhounds and Scottish deerhounds are among the speedy breeds anticipated for the season opener. “For some of the dogs, it’s an absolute passion,” said event organizer Verena von Eichborn, as many of these breeds were originally bred for hunting, so these races give them the opportunity to chase an imitation prey. “It’s an outlet for their nature.” The races take place at approximately 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. both days and there will be a puppy run at noon. There will also be a show Saturday after the trial for the successful competitors. The dogs are judged not only on their speed, but their enthusiasm, follow, agility and endurance. “There’s champion titles to be won if you have a certain amount of points,” said von Eichborn. The public is welcome, and encouraged, to come check out the events and witness the grace and speed of the dogs. “It’s a very relaxed event, only the dogs are fast,” said von Eichborn, adding that well-behaved dogs on a leash are also welcome. “They’re incredible to watch.” Sighthounds and owners from as far as Edmonton and the Lower Mainland attend the event, as well as the fall trials in Lavington. To get to the races from Vernon: turn right on Park Lane (off Highway 6), left on to Learmouth Road, turn left on Reid Road uphill on to Bluenose Road and just after Whitevale Road turns to the left, turn right on to Langford Road (a gravel road) and proceed 200 meters to the field entrance on the right. Anyone interested in registering their sighthound (the closing date for entries is Monday) or for more information, contact Verena von Eichborn at 250-260-3109.

Allison Harkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice sounds a tad hoarse when she answers the phone â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not a surprising affliction for someone who is studying opera in university. As a fourth-year student in the opera program at the University of British Columbia, Harker has been, in fact, writing exams the past week, and she just finished her final test on the morning The Morning Star reached her. Recovering from the fatigue of all that studying, the former Vernon resident will be one of 11 vocalists from the UBC Opera Ensemble who will perform with the Okanagan Symphony in its Divas, Dons and Dastards concerts in Kelowna Saturday and Vernon Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a really close-knit group, so this will be a sort of goodbye,â&#x20AC;? said Harker, her voice coming back to life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also nice for me to end my UBC career returning to my roots in the Okanagan. It will be a great performance with the ensemble and symphony.â&#x20AC;? Born in Vancouver, Harker lived for a short while in Malaysia before her family moved to Vernon when she was in elementary school. She attended Hillview Elementary and Vernon Secondary School, studying voice throughout with now retired music teacher Elizabeth Scott. She was also a member Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choral group the Scott Singers.

Former Vernon resident Allison Harker (below) joins the UBC Opera Ensemble in its performance of Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Don Giovanni this year. She is one of 11 members of the ensemble who will perform with the Okanagan Symphony at its Divas, Dons and Dastards performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Sunday. While she was in high school, her family, including sister Heather, moved up to Alaska, where both girls eventually enrolled in post-secondary vocal studies â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Allison at UBC and Heather at the University of Victoria â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks in part to a scholarship awarded to them in Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did a scholarship concert with my sister Heather in Vernon two summers ago to help raise more money for it,â&#x20AC;? said Harker.
While at UBC, Harker has been able to work with well-known Canadian lyric coloratura Nancy Hermiston, who is the head of the voice and opera divisions at the university. Hermiston founded the UBC Opera Ensemble in 1995, beginning with a core of seven performers, and has built the program to a 70-member company, which performs three productions at UBC every season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year at UBC we did a contemporary British opera, as well as (Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) Don Giovanni and Cosi fan tutti, which the ensemble will also be performing in the Czech Republic,â&#x20AC;? said Harker, adding the
ensemble tours regularly to the Eastern European nation, and she had the opportunity to perform there last year. The ensemble has also been singing from Bizetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carmen, as well as Leonard Bernsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Candide, and audiences attending the performance with the Okanagan Symphony will be able to hear those selections plus some others from Puccini, Verdi and Delibes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very varied program,â&#x20AC;? said Harker, adding she hopes to see her former teacher Scott, as well as friends and family when she returns to the Okanagan. (Harker will be sure to have a few cheering for her in
the audience as her parents are back living in Vernon, while her grandmother lives in Kelowna.) Harker is also deciding on how to embark on the next phase of her career. She will perform with the Vancouver Opera this summer, taking on the role of Susanna in Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Marriage of Figaro, and is also thinking about whether to pursue her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. She also has an opportunity to privately study with the University of Manitobaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tracy Dahl. The Okanagan Symphony is welcoming the UBC Opera Ensemble with a special afternoon tea, open to the public, at Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delta Grand Hotel Sunday at 2:30 p.m. before their evening show in Vernon. The symphony fundraiser will feature a performance by members of the ensemble and symphony, led by OSO conductor Rosemary Thomson. Tickets are $60, and can be purchased by contacting the symphony office at 250-763-7544 or online at www.okanagansymphony.com. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre starts at 7 p.m. Those who arrive one hour before the concert can listen to Thomson as she gives one of her inimitable pre-concert chats to set the stage for the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical selections. Tickets for the concert are $48/ adult, $41/senior and $22/youth at the Ticket Seller box office, 5497469, www.ticketseller.ca.

From Copperhead Road to the Okanagan Valley, legendary American singer-songwriter Steve Earle is about to travel the long, twisting highway to Vernon for a one-night only performance. Tickets go on sale Monday to see the three-time Grammy Award winner, known for his rock, folk, and Texas country music, who will give an intimate solo acoustic performance at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre June 2. A 14-time Grammy nominee, Earle began his career in 1986 with the album, Guitar Town, which went platinum. He has since released 13 other studio albums, including his most recent entitled, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Never Get Out of this World Alive. Released in the

He, along with his Steve Earle labels, has released six live albums and seven compilation albums, 23 singles and 13 music videos.

Earle has also performed with an impressive list of people including Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Chris Hillman, Lucinda Williams, the Indigo Girls, The Pogues, the Del McCoury Band, Allison Moorer, and a host of others.

Arts Films show devastation and hope Local Amnesty group screens two docs set in Africa Morning Star Staff
The Amnesty International group in Vernon is showing two different sides to Africa as part of its annual Amnesty International Film Fest, Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema. Beginning at 5:15 p.m. is Sweet Crude, the story of Nigeria’s Niger delta region and the human and environmental consequences of 50 years of oil extraction. A m n e s t y International says the human cost is starkly apparent. “Billions of dollars of crude oil are pumped out from beneath the feet of Nigerians, while they live in desperate poverty,” said film festival organizer Lee Brinkman, adding the delta’s water and soil have been contaminated by the same oil production that accounts for more than 80 per cent of the country’s revenue. “It’s a case of profits before people and it has to stop. (The oil companies) need to own up, pay up and clean up,” she said. “Tens of thousands of people have been directly affected by the spills and the ongoing pollution. Many worry about their health. They are now afraid to eat locally caught fish or to drink water from streams or even rain water. People who relied on fishing have lost their incomes
VINCENT BOISOT
A member of the Kinshasa Symphony performs in the Congolese capital as part of one of two documentaries to be shown at Vernon’s Amnesty International Film Fest, Monday at the Towne Cinema. and livelihoods.” In a report titled Nigeria: Petroleum, Pollution and Poverty in the Niger Delta, Amnesty International states that certain oil companies have engaged in practices known to be damaging to the environment and people. “Pipelines are not properly maintained and waste products are released into the environment, often close to farmland and waterways,” the report sug-
gests. A number of people in the local Amnesty group are passionate about protecting people who are affected by corporate abuse. “Corporations often exploit the weak regulatory systems in many poor countries,” said member Tosha Mallette. “This makes people living in poverty some of the most vulnerable to corporate human rights abuses.” Attendees to the film
event will have an opportunity to take action, said Brinkman, adding a petition will be circulated at the festival, which will be sent to one offending oil company as well as to the Nigerian government. The second film, Kinshasa Symphony, showing at 7:45 p.m., is a multiple award-winning film that takes place in the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Almost 10 million people live there and they are among the poorest inhabitants on this planet, yet Kinshasa is the home of Central Africa’s one and only symphony orchestra. In the 15 years of its existence, the musicians, mostly self-taught, have survived two major uprisings and a war. “Focusing on the music and hopes for a better future keeps them going,” said Brinkman. “Despite poverty, disease and famine, we see the joy and determination of the Congolese people. It’s simply a film about the Congo, the people in Kinshasa, and the power of music.” For more information about the local Amnesty group, visit www. amnestyvernon.ca.

PETER IOVINO/TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX
The Three Stooges (Will Sasso as Curly, Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe and Sean Hayes as Larry) hatch yet another knuckleheaded scheme. column, I thought the film used special effects well to modernize the prat falls to an extreme level and the plot, although moot, was not offensive. HOWE: There was lots of laughter from the audience, and I sat there stoned faced. I wondered if I was watching the same movie as everyone else, as it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t funny. I just think that the whoop whoop and the dog-like antics when they saw a pretty lady is old hat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheap and demeaning. What example are they setting for the younger generation? TAYLOR: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly not concerned with being politically correct. I just think there was no point in producing such drivel from so far back in
time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer relevant. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next? Are we all going to learn the Charleston? Listen to How Much is That Doggie in the Window? HOWE: ... Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, The Keystone Cops. Movie companies, let it go. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not keep living in the past. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move forward. TAYLOR: This is a kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s film. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rated PG, but if kids werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the intended audience there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been the outtro where a comically buff and handsome Farrelly Brothers warn children not to copy the things theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen The Three Stooges do. I second this warning and add the benefit of parents being able to read this review before seeing this film with impres-
sionable youngsters. This film is nothing but cartoon violence, with real people and no consequence. HOWE: I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take my son to see this, even with the health warning at the end of the movie. I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be working outside and my four year old comes up behind me and smacks me in the back of the head with a baseball bat, thinking this is funny. TAYLOR: Uh-oh, man fall down, go boom! Howe gives The Three Stooges half a chainsaw to the face out of five. Taylor gives it 1.5 broken bones out of 5. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The feature is currently screening at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

Hike helps Hospice serve community CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
M
any of the participants at this year’s Hike for Hospice will be remembering Marnie Hodge as they walk. Hodge, who died at Hospice House last Aug. 31, was an example of the theme of this year’s event, Let’s Work Together. She beat breast cancer in 1996 and then discovered that the cancer had spread to her liver in 2001. She went ahead and did her nursing refresher course anyway and worked at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, including time in the cancer clinic. “I think she found her calling when she came to work at Hospice House. She got her palliative care specialization and she liked working with families to help them resolve end-of-life relationships and say the important things that need to be said,” said her husband, Nick Hodge. In 2006, Marnie Hodge became organization development leader with the North Okanagan Hospice Society. “She brought her education, experience and life skills to look at the future of hospice programing. She helped us move our services forward. She was a big thinker and she excelled at looking at the entire issue,” said Ruth Edwards, executive director of the society. While Marnie Hodge was working and taking medical treatment, she kept active in other community volunteer work and spent time with her husband and two grown children. She and Nick had a vacation and Marnie helped her daughter with plans for a fall wedding. She took part in — Nick last year’s Hike for Hospice and was the top individual fundraiser. “She gave her all to whatever she was involved in at the moment,” said Nick Hodge. The staff members at Hospice House knew she was losing strength and they remained helpful and encouraging. It was Marnie who helped the staff in this difficult time together. “She led a discussion about how things were and what her expectations were. She even had a room picked out. However, she was still hopeful at that time because she had had her ups and downs before and come back. We all wanted to be hopeful,” said Edwards. Marnie started a new chemotherapy treatment in her last week of work and she and her family had talked about what would
Marnie Hodge is being remembered for her dedication to her work with Hospice. happen when the time came for her to be a Hospice House client. With typical concern for others, she did not want to go too soon and possibly take up a bed that someone else could use or be a burden to anyone with the knowledge of how sick she really was. She worked until the Thursday of her last week and was too tired to go in on Friday. “I had been optimistic until she didn’t respond to the new chemo. The care team leader came to the house on Sunday to talk to us and she made the decision. She even had her bag packed,” said Nick. “The family was able to be here and there was a great outpouring of supHodge port and gratitude for her. We were just taken care of with the greatest respect and concern, as everyone is.” He was sleeping in her room when she died peacefully in her sleep in the early morning, after three days in Hospice House. The family appreciates the support of the hospice society after Marnie’s death. Nick took part in a grief and bereavement group which was very important to him. “It was remarkable to be in a room where everyone had experienced loss. Each experience was different but we could all talk about it and understand,” he said. Nick is proud to be able to support the work Marnie believed in so deeply. He had been doing contract work in accounting for the society and when the financial officer position became available he was asked to take the job.
“We were just taken care of with the greatest respect and concern, as everyone is.”

Nick Hodge (left) takes a pledge from Ruth Edwards for Hike for Hospice May 6. This year’s theme for the 10th annual event is Let’s Work Together. “Working here there are overwhelming feelings sometimes. I remember Marnie and the work she did here. People tell me how much she meant to them. There have been so many changes. I have had to close my accounting office but I haven’t been as happy in a long time. This organization is so important for the community and it all started with a few volunteers visiting and providing grief counseling,” he said. Edwards said the society has grown because of community support. “It’s all because of the community behind us, the volunteer and financial-based support. The community can see that what we do is important and that we spend those
donated volunteer hours and dollars wisely,” she said. Hike for Hospice 2012 Let’s Work Together takes place May 6 at Polson Park. The goal is to raise $30,000 for grief and bereavement programs. The event starts with the Armstrong Lions Club $5 pancake breakfast with proceeds donated to Hospice House from 8 a.m. to 9:40 a.m. Registration starts at 9:15 a.m. with the walk, any distance that people want to do, starting at 10 a.m. People are encouraged to enter together or in teams and to start getting pledges as soon as possible. For registration and more information see www.nohs.ca or call 250-503-1800.

ear Annie: The facts about tobacco use are startling. Every day, nearly 4,000 kids under the age of 18 try their first cigarette, and another 1,000 become regular smokers. Tobacco companies spend billions of dollars each year targeting kids like me with advertising near schools and malls. They also oppose efforts to make it more difficult for kids to obtain cigarettes, like tobacco tax increases and smoke-free laws. Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar With almost 20 per cent of high school students who are current smokers, we need a change, and it needs to be both youth led and adult supported. Cigarette companies cannot survive unless kids smoke, so I am thankful to be working with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids as a young advocate to fight to reduce tobacco use and its devastating consequences on youth. Your readers can get involved by visiting www.tobaccofreekids.org. — Judy Hou, age 17, volunteer at The Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth. Dear Judy Hou: Many thanks for your terrific letter. We hope it will inspire readers to become involved, as well as convince others not to take that first puff. Smoking kills, and it can harm those around you. If you already smoke, please quit. It doesn’t make you cool. It makes you stink. Dear A Friend: This is what friends

are for. Feel free to refute the lies when the opportunities present themselves. But we caution you not to say unkind things about the Other Woman. Steve has his hands full, and there’s no reason to make the woman more defensive and angry than she already is. Dear Annie: This is in regard to the letter from “California,” whose stepdaughter’s children keep playing with their iPhones during dinner. I had this problem with my sister. During dinner, she kept playing with her phone, so I snapped a photo of her with my iPhone and sent it to her with a text message: “Having a great time. Wish you were here!” She laughed and put her phone down, and we had a nice visit. — Iowa Dear Annie: My sister and I attended my granddaughter’s wedding last October. My sister asked whether I’d given the couple any money, and I said, “No, I already sent them a nice gift.” She said she gave them $300 and that I should do the same. She phoned repeatedly, asking whether I sent the check. I finally told her yes so she would leave me alone. Today she called saying she’d asked my granddaughter whether she had received a check from me. Of course, she had not. My sister is still insisting I send them money, and I don’t know what to say to keep the peace. — Did My Part Already Dear Did: Tell your sister you are sending another gift because you already sent one. Repeat as often as necessary until she gets the message. But you might apologize to your granddaughter for the misunderstanding.

This Week’s Bible Study Session:
Man Created Evolution: But Who Created Man?
A project of The Eco Art Incubator, this event features 20 creative studies students who will launch a series of Eco Art surprises and invite the public to participate in creative projects that will heighten awareness of the sanctuary’s role in conservation.
Art meets nature this Sunday as the Bishop Wild Bird Sanctuary celebrates Earth Day. The event features Eco Art projects created and designed especially for the sanctuary by creative studies students and faculty from UBCO.
Come hear what the Bible has to say every Sunday evening at 7:30pm at the

Visitors will have the chance to listen to plays on mp3 players, participate in a bird poetry writing lab, read an alternate “disaffected” field guide with strange legends, and experience another surprising intervention that will raise awareness and provide guests to the sanctuary with a quirky souvenir of their visit. The Eco Art Incubator is a research initiative run by Nancy Holmes, associate professor of creative writing, and Denise Kenney, assistant professor of interdisciplinary performance — both from the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Horoscope BY BERNICE BEDE OSOL A couple of major changes could be in store for you in the year ahead. One could pertain to an excellent career shift, while the other might have to do with a change of residence. Both could be rather unexpected.
PUZZLE NO. 203
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s OK to take on a new project as long as it doesn’t interfere with what you already have on your plate and you can devote quality time to both.
ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 203
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You may feel you’re ably taking care of something that you promised friends you’d handle, but if it doesn’t look that way to them, your pals will feel manipulated.
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. 110428

CANCER (June 21-July 22) In order to achieve an important assignment, you must give the powers that be the impression that you are totally dedicated to doing the job right. Anything less will not go over too well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your associates are likely to have a strong influence on your attitude and performance. If they tend to be negative thinkers, you will be one too. Try to hang out with positive types. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It doesn’t matter if you’re managing an important financial matter for another or for yourself, in both instances it must be skillfully handled. Anything less won’t suffice. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be supportive of your mate instead of locking horns. A lack of allegiance may cause your spouse to behave in a poor manner when you need bolstering at a later date. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Nothing constructive will result if you attempt to get others to handle certain responsibilities that are exclusively yours. If you don’t want to do these tasks, why should your friends feel differently? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It might prove wise to reject being treasurer for your club or a group activity. If you have trouble
collecting the funds, you could get blamed for the venture falling apart. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be as tactful and diplomatic as you can when it comes to handling things for your club. If you’re not, you’ll catch a lot of heat for being too pushy and assertive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) No matter how hard you try to be purposeful and methodical, certain of your projects might still look like they were handled in a slipshod fashion. Let others do some of the work. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Try to make some kind of arrangement to clear up an obligation you have to a friend. Not only will small tokens have a way of adding up, they’ll make your pal feel appreciated. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone who is usually agreeable might do an about-face and could handle things in a manner that would cause problems, just to get even with you for ignoring him or her lately.
HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes and weight gain. What can I do? A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment includes the use of bioidentical, plant based hormones that closely duplicate hormones your body produces. Natural hormones also slow the aging process.

Pain free in 2 weeks!
This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could #1 have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
Heartburn Reflux
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with #39 acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated pre-diabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar #40 is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living. Roger Light, 57, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Skeptics may call anybody. All real people with honest statements.

Areas affected are: Hwy 6 starting at Duremeadow Rd., East end of Creighton Valley Rd., Trinity Valley Rd., Albers Rd., Mabel Lake Rd., Sugar Lake Rd., and surrounding areas.

Northern forest jobs at high risk TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Beetle-killed pine trees across the B.C. Interior will start to become uneconomical to log in the next two to five years, resulting in a steep drop in timber supply and employment, according to a technical report prepared for the forests ministry. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson found a confidential draft version of the report that was mistakenly made public on the ministry’s website. It estimates that without opening up protected areas and harvesting lower-volume stands, as many as half of the forest industry jobs in the Cariboo and northern region will disappear. The draft report reviews the sharp increase in the annual allowable cut in the affected region, and the “drastic” decline that would occur without changes. The Lakes timber supply area around Burns Lake would see a 67 per cent drop, and the Quesnel area would see its allowable cut reduced by 51 per cent. The beetle impact is less in the Prince George and Williams Lake areas, which would drop 32 per cent without changing rules. In the legislature Tuesday, Simpson called on the government to announce what changes it will make to ease the impact of the timber supply loss. “In those technical appraisals it points out that in my area, in Quesnel, we have one and a half years of commercial timber left, and we may see 1,600 jobs lost if mitigation measures are not taken,” Simpson said. “But those mitigation measures are highly controversial and will completely change the face of forestry in this province, and yet the same report isn’t sure if this government wants to consult.” Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell said there will be consultation, and work is continuing to determine whether the Babine Forest Products mill can be rebuilt and supplied following an explosion and fire that destroyed it in January. The report discusses options including the relaxing of cutting restrictions on view corridors and old growth areas, as well as shifting available timber supply from the Prince George and Williams Lake areas to the Quesnel and Burns Lake area.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder DOES HE HAVE ONE, OR TWO? Winston Churchill said, “There are two things more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall that is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.” There is another thing more difficult than making an after-dinner speech for many people: defending at the bridge table. Take the East cards in this deal. Your partner leads the spade jack against four hearts. How would you plan the defense? North, because of that potentially valuable club singleton, was worth a raise to 2 1/2 hearts. South might have dabbled for a slam, but the singleton in his
partner’s first-bid suit was a drawback. Often the less said to the defenders, the better. Note also that South’s immediate jump to four hearts indicated at least a five-card suit. North might have raised with only threecard support, with, for example, a minimum 1-35-4 hand. If South had only four hearts, he would have jumped to three no-trump (or made another bid that was forcing). Then North, with four hearts, would have corrected back to game in that suit. Since the spade 10 is on the board, you know West has led a singleton spade or high from a doubleton -but which? Think back to the bidding. If the lead is a singleton,
South has K-Q-8-5-4 of spades. But then he would have responded one spade, not one heart. So, as you have no re-entry, you should signal encouragement with the spade nine. Then, when West gets in with the heart king, he leads his second spade, receives his ruff, and cashes the club ace for the fourth defensive trick.

Elsie Goresky Elsie was born in Alberta. One of six children brought up in the Depression by a single mother, she learned to be self reliant. She took Teachers’ Training but couldn’t get a job, so she went back to school to get her Senior Matric. She broke her finger while playing basketball and was treated by young Doctor Goresky. He was smitten and pursued her. Two months later, Victor and Elsie were married. Their first two children, Carl and Ora, were born in Alberta, but hard times and and hard winters prompted them to move to British Columbia. Victor took over rural practice in Castlegar. They added three more children to their family over the years-- Eileen, Gerald and Linda. Elsie was very active in the community, as a member of the IODE, the Pythian Sisters, the United Church Auxiliary, and the local Bridge Club. After Victor died, Elsie worked in a bank and then as a medical receptionist. Then she took a year of Nurses’ training but was told that she was really too old to complete the course--which Elsie didn’t understand, because she was only in her fifties! She moved to Vancouver, where she worked in a nursing home, and later sold real estate. Eventually, Elsie moved the Vernon where she retired, playing golf, brewing wine, pressing apple cider, and playing endless games of canasta with her friends. She had always wanted to travel and so she did--to Japan, China, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, and the Caribbean. She was on a cruise in the Mediterranean when her ship was commandeered for troop transport in the Falklands War.
The Prentice family sadly announces the passing of Marilyn on April 10th, 2012. She passed away peacefully at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital, after a life long struggle with diabetes. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Marilyn moved to Vernon in her early 20’s to begin a career as the coach of the Vernon Figure Skating Club. She soon met and married Thomas Prentice Jr. on June 9th, 1950. For several years they lived in Vanderhoof, BC, but in 1956 returned to Vernon and made it their permanent home. Marilyn then returned to her career as the Vernon Figure Skating Coach. This career lasted decades and involved her entire family, including her husband, Tom, and their ¿ve daughters, “the Prentice Girls”. Over the years, Marilyn produced numerous Ice Carnivals and dedicated hours to building the Vernon Figure Skating Club with Tom’s lending hand and support. As her coaching career ended, she continued her involvement through judging ¿gure skating. Marilyn was also a dedicated lifetime member of the Order of the Eastern Star. Encouraged by her mother, she joined the St. John’s Chapter #18 Winnipeg in 1949. She was Worthy Matron twice with Foster Chapter #46 in Vernon. Marilyn’s generosity was evident through the numerous charities she was involved with, including the Canadian Diabetic Association, World Vision and the Trinity United Church. Some of her other activities included curling and gol¿ng. She also enjoyed creating skating and dance costumes for her daughters, as well as knitting, crocheting and needlework. Marilyn is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 62 years, Thomas Prentice Jr.; her ¿ve daughters: Shawny Prentice, April Davies (Robert Dionne), Heather (David) Ansley, Bonnie (Kevin) Harvey, Kelly (Karalee) (David) Kirby; and ten grandchildren: Meika Thompson (Randy Brown), Megan Makokis (Oleg Yakymovych), Jason (Colleen) Davies, Bryan (Amy) Davies, Joshua (Lori) Ansley, Emily (Michael) Aldred, Ryan (Megan) Harvey, Carleen Harvey, Kelsie Kirby, and Darren Kirby; as well as six great-grandchildren. Marilyn was predeceased by her parents, Percy and Lil McGregor; sister, Louise McGregor; and brother, Vernon McGregor. Flowers are gratefully declined. Those friends and family wishing to make a contribution in memory of Marilyn may do so to The Canadian Diabetic Association. A Celebration of Life will take place at the Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Drive on Tuesday, April 24th, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. followed by a tea in the church. When we have done all the work we were sent to Earth to do, we are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the future butterÀy. And when the time is right, we can let go of it and we will be free of pain, free of fears and worries, free as a very beautiful butterÀy, returning home to God.

Thomas James (Tom) Foord
Farm Worker. Thinning, picking, pruning, $10.25/hr. up to 55/hrs/week, July 1 - Oct 31. Contact Rajan Bagha, 3606 15th Avenue Vernon, BC (250)938-0738
May 8th, 1922 - April 12th, 2012
The family of Tom Foord sadly announces the recent passing of their dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and uncle at his home in Vernon with his family at his side. Tom was born in the small hamlet of Instow, Saskatchewan, the oldest child of Albert and Emma Foord. He grew up surrounded by the non-stop acƟvity generated by him and his brothers Vernon, Sid, Ian, Ron and Elmer with one sister June, who refereed much of the going’s on among the boys. Between classes in the one room schoolhouse, where dad was the only person in his grade, and milking the cow and other chores, the cold, short winter days were Įlled with hockey games on Ňooded Įelds and the longer warm summer days played out with baseball and sƟck and can games made up by our grandfather Foord’s cricket playing past. The Depression of the late 20’s and 30’s had a profound eīect on dad and shaped his intense desire to succeed at something in the face of the tremendous adversity the world was experiencing at that Ɵme. He saw Įrsthand how families and whole communiƟes rallied around each other to assist those struggling and throughout his life dad was always generous with those needing a helping hand. He leŌ Instow in 1939 at the age of 18 to join the Royal Canadian Air Force with hopes of becoming a pilot. To his severe disappointment he was unable to Ňy, but instead was posted to a ground crew in Newfoundland. It was there that he met a beauƟful young teletype operator from Vernon BC named Norah Davidson and aŌer being married in 1944, they moved back to mom’s home town. He oŌen said that meeƟng mom was the best thing that happened in his life.
relaƟves purchased the Home Oil gas staƟon located kiƩy corner from the Travelodge Motel in 1951. He struggled selling gas for a couple of years unƟl he and his friend Jim Lochhead decided to start selling Ɵres and named the company Kal Tire aŌer Kalamalka Lake. The work was long and hard, but dad made many friends calling on loggers and truckers throughout southwest BC. His friendly manner, work ethic and drive to succeed impressed many a tough logger in the bush and the business grew slowly but steadily. Today the business is a global enƟty that conƟnues to grow based on the values, ethics and ideals from almost 60 years ago, with many people beneĮƫng from dad’s leadership, wisdom and guidance. Dad loved to be around people, whether just visiƟng, playing a round of golf or a hand of gin rummy. There would always be lots of banter and good natured joking that never failed to entertain and amuse those in aƩendance. His quick smile and easy laugh always put people at ease and he commented numerous Ɵmes how blessed he felt to be surrounded by so many good people in friendship and business. He cared deeply for the town of Vernon and its people and was involved in many causes, supporƟng the community in numerous ways and was recognized by a variety of insƟtuƟons for his contribuƟons. Giving back to those that had helped him succeed was very important for him. Our family would like to thank all of the doctors, nurses, pharmacists and caregivers who helped dad during his Įnal weeks, parƟcularly Dr. Fred Dyck for his support and Patricia Weijs who provided excepƟonal care for both mom and dad during their illnesses.
Coming from the dustbowl Depression era of southern Saskatchewan, where in dad’s words “you couldn’t grow a carrot”, the North Okanagan was a veritable Garden of Eden! He marvelled at the fruit trees and the deep blue lakes that surrounded the area and could The following is a passage from the poem not believe that such a place existed.

Dad’s dream of becoming a pilot was Įnally realized in 1968 when he got his license and Ňew for business and pleasure over the next 30 years. He had many an escapade during that Ɵme and loved the independence, freedom and joy that came from winging his way through the clouds on a bright sunny day with the beauƟful lakes and mountains below him. There will be a memorial service on Tuesday, May 1 at 2:00 pm at the Trinity United Church, 3300 Alexis Park Drive, with a tea service at the Church to follow.

B.C.’s labour minister is defending changes to the workplace regulation that required employers to provide a secure barrier for night-shift employers who work alone. Changes took effect Sunday that allow another option for operators of gas stations, convenience stores and other 24-hour businesses.

Master Your Money
The New Wealth Secret A true story of an unlikely underdog who mastered the money game Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I find it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and strangers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up. Like it or not, money is what makes our society click. Canadians enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world, and money is a big part of the reason why.
about money. But Rob did approach him - and Frank told him Money is ALL about leverage. Frank then went on and shared with Rob one of the greatest lessons he had ever learned. When your money makes more money for you than your job does... then you are well on your way to financial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job - true financial independence begins when the money you invest is making
My name is Darren Weeks and I am one of the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about money. More specifically, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth. Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side in all situations... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis.
When you understand the rules of the game...the money will find you! My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million. On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.” My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. Rob Chaulk came to one of my events in the Spring of 2008. He grew up in a family with a poor dad, and a rich dad (his uncle). So Rob had been given a good start on his money education. But it wasn’t enough. Rob was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers in the energy and industrial sector. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. When Rob read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he took it seriously and within 30 days he bought his first rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years... his key to retirement. Right around this same time he had lunch with his rich dad (his multi-millionaire uncle). Not exactly an easy guy to talk to, his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach
wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95.

Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this. Rob started off at a free event just like this. He heard about an event just like this put on by my company. He attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. He is now financially independent and able to live life on his own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.com and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well. Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action.
Give us 3 hours of your time and we’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life.

you $25 an hour, without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months. Rob Met Darren Rob then came to a Get Rich in Canada event, hosted by myself... and was able to create a $4 million dollar property portfolio in just 24 months. As Rob says “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game - and how the game works - the money will find you! Now it’s my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience.” While he was building his portfolio of properties, Rob also took his health very seriously. Rob was overweight, had sleep apnea and was sluggish every waking hour. After dropping over 100 pounds Rob found a new lifestyle that had been long lost, and a money mindset that continues to help him and his family with all of the retirement and dreams. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? I am proud to share that my system has worked for everyone who aggressively applied it. You could be the one with a large real estate portfolio and a business or two that runs without you. ...Many people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life.
