Dueck ices silver medal
Vernon resident second behind German racer BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
When you’ve spent the last four years preparing for one moment, a last-minute schedule change might seem like a catastrophe. But when foggy weather forced the cancellation of the men’s downhill sit-skiing event at the Vancouver Paralympics Saturday, Vernon’s Josh Dueck was able to turn it from potential disaster into a dream come true. Organizers opted to hold the slalom event the following day, giving Dueck less than 24 hours to prepare. On top of that, he hadn’t trained for slalom in about a month. “It was definitely a bit of an intimidation factor when they announced it because I had to change my gear around and change my mindset,” said the 29-year-old. “It turned out well.” Indeed it did. Dueck turned in one of the best performances of his career when he needed it most, and wound up with a silver medal. The short notice was actually a good thing. “I do think it was a bit of an advantage,” he said. “I did what I needed to do and I didn’t overthink it.” Dueck was able to capture the positive vibe from the enthusiastic Canadian crowd, which included his friends and family, and channel it through his run down the mountain. He says the thousands cheering on the Paralympians puts this event another stratosphere from the world cup races he’s competed in where there may be

a few hundred at most. “For sure, there was nothing but pure love out there and it boosted me to put down one of my best runs (in the slalom). It’s the way our sport needs to go for sure. “The feeling of coming across the finish line and knowing I put down a good run and looking up into the crowd and trying to spot people’s faces (was unreal).” One of those pouring her heart out for Dueck was his wife Lacey.
She says it was gut wrenching watching her husband navigate the slopes. “At some points I couldn’t watch; it’s so nerve wracking,” she said. “You want him to do so well, you don’t want to watch. “He had an incredible run. He hadn’t been on slalom skis for (so long).” The stress wasn’t over once Dueck’s run was completed. He had to wait for two other athletes, including Jurgen Egle, an Austrian who was leading after
the first run. When he lost control and didn’t finish, it gave Dueck second place behind Germany’s Martin Braxenthaler, a Paralympic veteran. “It was a tough course,” said Dueck. “Given the way the snow was, some injected snow and ruts, you had to be smart about it. “I feel like I earned the bronze but took silver.” Dueck is paralyzed from the belt down so he admires winner Braxenthaler who is paralyzed from the chest down. That alters the results because Braxenthaler’s disability is factored in. Based on raw times alone, Dueck was just ahead of the German. “I really look up to Martin,” said Dueck. “As a competitor, he
is outstanding. “He’s working with less muscle and if (results) were raw times, it would be an unbalanced playing field.” Between media obligations and ceremonies, Dueck hasn’t had much chance to relax. He is now getting ready for the downhill, which has been rescheduled for Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Dueck spent Monday with family enjoying Whistler village and did the peak-to-peak gondola ride from Whistler Mountain to Blackcomb Mountain. Dueck can’t wait for his next chance on Thursday. “I’ve had more success in downhill and it’s an event I really do enjoy,” he said. “I feel like if I go in with the same mindset and just enjoy it, I’ll be able to do really well.”

News Vernon youth survives avalanche BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Vance Rogers first day of snowmobiling dealt him more than he bargained for Saturday at Boulder Mountain near Revelstoke. Accompanied by an adult friend, the 13-year-old enjoyed the new experience and was finishing the day watching the Big Iron Shootout snowmobile event when disaster struck. “All of a sudden, everyone just started shouting, ‘Avalanche!,’� — Vance recalled the H a r w o o d Elementary student. “A whole wall of snow came down. It came down and hit us and we got up about 60 or 70 feet from where we were.� Two Alberta residents died in the avalanche and several others have been hospitalized. About 200 people were watching the event. “When I saw the snow coming, it was maybe a 200-foot wall, the whole side of the mountain,� said Rogers. “It was like a bowl from one side to the other and we were on one side.� Their position may have saved them. Also, Rogers said when he and his friend tried to retreat on snowmobile, they were blocked by another spectator and that likely prevented them from getting in harm’s way.
“It was like being in a blizzard,� said Rogers. “The wind that came ahead of the snow, you could hear it rumbling.� The aftermath brought a frenzy of activity for event organizers, many of whom had avalanche training. “People started grabbing shovels and turning on beacons,� said Rogers. “Some of them (buried spectators) were nine or 10 feet under. There were some pretty big holes Rogers (rescuers) were digging.� The Grade 7 student wasn’t buried too deeply himself and dug his way out though he wasn’t completely unscathed. “I just remember rag-dolling and got up and spat a couple of teeth out.� Three of his teeth were chipped though he doesn’t recall exactly how it happened. He was scheduled for a lengthy date with the dentist chair yesterday. He also received cuts under his arm and on his back and was extremely stiff in the days following the tragedy. “I’m really sore,� he said. “I’ve been sleeping a lot but I’m stiff everywhere. Muscles I didn’t even know I had hurt.� Because Rogers and his friend sustained non-life-threatening injuries, they were the second-last group to be airlifted off the mountain. They were taken to hospi-

Vernon resident Vance Rogers was briefly buried in the Boulder Mountain avalanche in Revelstoke on Saturday but he and a friend survived with minor injuries. tal in Revelstoke briefly but were back home in Vernon by 1:30 a.m. Sunday. Eight police officers from the North Okanagan area were involved in the rescue process on
Boulder Mountain. One police dog service handler and his canine were still on the scene Monday, helping with another sweep of the area. Three members of the North
Snowmobiler in hospital with extensive injuries RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon man remains in critical condition after being slammed by an avalanche near Revelstoke Saturday. Joey Mazzei, who turns 31 Thursday, is in Kelowna General Hospital. He is expected to be sedated on life support for a minimum of two weeks as part of his recovery. “He’s fighting pretty hard,� said wife Sharlotte Skowronek. His injuries include failing kidneys, a bleed-
ing stomach, shattered ribs and shoulder blades, a bruised heart and broken shoulder blades. Mazzei and the couple’s seven-year-old son Joey Jr. were at the Big Iron Shootout snowmobile event on Boulder Mountain. Mazzei had planned on participating but his snowmobile wouldn’t start. They were eating lunch when the avalanche struck. Mazzei immediately grabbed Joey Jr. and found a place where he would be shielded from the snow.
“Before he (Mazzei) could find a safe spot for himself, he got nailed,� said Skowronek. Joey Jr. sustained head trauma, a cut on the head, cracked ribs and a damaged lung but he has been released from hospital in Revelstoke. “He’s heroic. He saved my son. I’ll spend the rest of my life repaying him,� said Skowronek of her husband, who is a small motor mechanic. And Skowronek is completely confident that Mazzei is going to recover from his extensive injuries. “I know he’s going to make it,� she said.

Grow-ops closed down ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
An RCMP green team reaped quite a marijuana harvest. In a span of four days last week, police raided six North Okanagan homes and seized 1,621 marijuana plants, 33 pounds of dried bud and a small amount of hashish. Eight people were arrested and the search is on for one more suspect. “We put this team together to concentrate on local grow operations,� said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “It’s the first time we’ve done it in awhile.� Molendyk estimates the amount of marijuana seized would produce approximately 37,000 joints on the street. Things began on March 8, when a home in the 7800 block of Cactus Drive in Coldstream was searched. Police found 547 plants and 28 pounds of harvested bud in the home. One man in the residence was arrested and is facing charges, including one of theft for a hydro bypass discovered on the property. The house was posted under the District of Coldstream’s drug remediation bylaw, which means the house can’t be lived in or sold until it’s brought back up to code. The next day, March 9, four people, including three women, were arrested at a home in the 5600 block of Highway 6 in Coldstream after police found 353 pot plants. That home was also posted under the bylaw. Two homes were searched on March 10, including one on Vernon’s East Hill, in the 3100 block of 16th Street. This was a small grow-op compared to others, as police found 51 plants and one pound of harvested bud. What concerned police about this operation was its location, at a home that backed on to Lakeview Park where children and adults play. “A number of people called and complained about this one,� said Molendyk. “There were lots of complaints about the odour of marijuana.� The house, however, was not posted under the City of Vernon drug remediation bylaw, as no modifications were made to the home. On the same day, a home in the 11000 block of Kalamalka Road was searched, and 290 plants were seized. Police have a warrant out on the tenant of the rental home.

Imported Finally, on March 11, two more homes were searched. A house in the 8500 block of Clerke Road in Coldstream resulted in 203 marijuana clones – where a person has taken off a portion of the main plant and re-started it so it can produce – and 80 grams of harvested bud being found. Police also discovered a small amount of hashish. And, in the 7300 block of Pleasant Valley Road in Vernon, 110 plants were found at a home along with 3.5 pounds of harvested bud. A man was arrested at each of the last two houses. Neither home was posted. The green team was aided in its searches by tips from the public, which police appreciate. Molendyk said, however, the public must be patient after delivering a tip about a grow operation. “The unfortunate part is, a good citizen calls today about a grow-op, we can’t just run out tomorrow and take down the operation,� he said. “We start with the information, then our officers will do checks and verifications themselves. They may not have all the information, that is, the individuals may not have seen the operation or how many plants but have smelled an odour. They’ll start to do some background information and hopefully get enough to get a warrant. “We can’t just walk up to a house anymore. We’re bound by rules of case law. Sometimes it takes a couple of months before we have enough information to get a search warrant.� Police encourage the public to phone in their tips. “We may have some information (about an operation) already, but the information you provide may give us that much more to go forward and take down these operations,� said Molendyk. “All information is helpful.�

Police bust major drug operation ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
A significant drug operation has been shut down in the North Okanagan. RCMP from Ke l ow n a - b a s e d southeast district general duty, assisted by Falkland detachment officers, executed a search warrant at a Westwold home Dan Moskaluk Tuesday morning. Close to 3,000 marijuana plants and some dried bud were found at the home. “There were 2,996 plants, and 100
pounds of packaged, dried marijuana,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, media relations officer for the southeast district. “There was an investigation conducted which yielded sufficient evidence for us to obtain authorization to get a search warrant and go into the home. We did, and we found the grow-op.” The operation was found in the basement of the home, located off of Highway 97, and in a large outbuilding on the property. Three men, aged 32, 36 and 41, were found inside the home. They were arrested and taken into police custody. The 32-year-old man is from Westwold while the other two are from Vancouver. The trio is facing drug-related charg-
es, and were expected to be released on a promise to appear in provincial court. Moskaluk estimated the bust to be around the $3 million mark, based on an estimated yield of $1,000 per plant. “It was a significant bust, no question about it,” he said. It’s unclear as to how long the operation had been working. Tuesday’s bust is the second major one for Okanagan RCMP in as many weeks. On March 9, in Okanagan Falls, officers uncovered an elaborate underground electrical bypass to a house which led to the discovery of 2,010 marijuana plants in the 6,000-square-foot home. Two men found at the home were arrested and taken into custody.
Woman pleads for return of photographs ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Most of her stuff stolen when the East Hill residence she was house-sitting last week was ransacked has been returned to her. However, a woman from northern B.C. still wants some precious memories returned to her. Tanya (last name withheld) is hoping somebody will find, or knows the whereabout of, two memory sticks and two memory cards that were stolen along with her camera, two lenses and a laptop computer in the Wednesday afternoon incident. “There’s about four years worth of pictures that mean so much to me,” said Tanya. “There’s high school graduation
“There’s high school graduation photos.” — Tanya photos, hockey pictures, photos of horses, pictures of my kids and pictures from Christmas. I would really like to get those back.” Tanya and her family had been in Vernon visiting and were house sitting for a friend when they left the home in the 3600 block of 12th Street at 9:30 a.m. on March 10. They were gone until about 6 p.m., when they came home and found the place had been ransacked. RCMP were alerted right away and got a break when two men came to the
detachment with a bunch of suitcases and duffel bags that an acquaintance had dropped off earlier in the evening. The police investigation revealed a wallet and credit card had been stolen, and police were able to find a male suspect using the stolen credit card in Kelowna. While most of the stuff in the suitcases belonged to Tanya and her family, it’s the memory cards, sticks and laptop she wants returned. The camera and cards were in a green carrying case. Tanya has offered a reward for the return of the items. She can be reached at 250-261-3755, or the items can be dropped off at the Vernon RCMP detachment. A male suspect is facing charges in connection with the incident.
City appeals arbitrator’s decision on water function RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon’s water dispute may be boiling over again. The City of Vernon has decided to appeal an arbitrator’s decision that stated the city couldn’t just withdraw from the distribution component of the water utility. “We believe the ruling was incorrect and all of the material wasn’t considered,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert. “There’s information there about how things were originally set up by the province.
“We believe the ruling was incorrect.” — Wayne Lippert The province intended for bulk water and distribution to be separate.” But while the city is still pursuing arbitration, Lippert insists the city is still committed to a facilitation process recently established by the North Okanagan Regional
District as a way of trying to keep the function together. “Right from the start we’ve asked for the other participants to take part in discussions,” said Lippert. “When people are talking and part of meaningful discussion, there’s always an oppor-
5
tunity for a resolution.” Mike Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director, is surprised by the city’s most recent actions. “It’s their right to appeal but I thought the arbitrator did a good job and was fair,” he said. Doug Dirk, Coldstream councillor, hopes facilitation will proceed and every effort will be taken to keep the function in one piece. “It has to be resolved,” he said of the dispute. “It’s carried on for so long and I have a hard time believing there isn’t a solution to it.”

Dear Realtor Mike, I am considering buying a home but with trepidation because of my lack of understanding of finding and applying for a mortgage. Where do I begin? Answer:
Start by reading the mortgage rates that are posted online and find out what a competitive rate would be. Then make an appointment with a mortgage broker or financial institution (there is no cost to you) to determine your ability to make payments on a
mortgage or line of credit. The mortgage broker will qualify you to purchase a home based on your income, debt load, the loan amount, interest rate etc. Ask if a floating rate is best right now or lock in for several years as interest rates are low. When you are pre-approved for a mortgage, consult your REALTOR®. Let him/her know the price of the property that you have qualified for. When you have an accepted offer on a home that meets your criteria, your REALTOR® will direct you to seek other services, such as a home inspection, insurance and legal services that you may require in order to complete the transaction. Good luck to you.
Tax News
from Dean Chapple at H&R Block My topic this week is support payments where government rules are somewhat complex. Support paid to an ex-spouse i.e. spousal support, are always taxable to the recipient and deductible to the payer. Child support payments are neither taxable to the recipient or deductible to the payer if the agreement or court order is made after May 1st 1997. Older agreements that have been amended after this date fall under the new taxation rules. If you have an agreement prior to May 1st 1997, then the support is taxable/deductible the same as spousal support. If the child you have been paying child support for, comes to live with you, you cannot use this child as a deduction on your tax return while an agreement or court order states that you have to pay support for this child – even if you and your ex-spouse come to a different arrangement. The agreement or court order has to be changed to reflect that support is no longer required while the child resides with you. For more information on this topic come in and see one of our tax specialists who will be happy to advise you on this and other deductions.

Contentious budget gets final adoption RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Despite vocal opposition, Lumby residents will see taxes climb this year. On Monday, council adopted the 2010 financial plan which includes a 1.9 per cent residential tax increase. Council had recently received a 280-name petition against higher taxes. Mayor Kevin Acton says there was no choice but to hike revenue and residents protesting for a decrease weren’t unified on where spending could be cut. “There was no consensus. People wanted the pool closed or staff fired,” he said. “There wasn’t one thing we could do. We cut as much as we could without stopping a pro-
gram.” The budget will result in an additional $13.14 in taxes for the average home. Acton had supported original plans for a three per cent hike, but he believes 1.9 per cent will allow the village to continue to operate. “We will have to be a bit frugal with the things we’re doing,” he said. “It means we will have less in reserves.” Coun. Janet Green voted for final adoption,

The City of Enderby is being asked to consider tax breaks for businesses wanting to upgrade their premises. On Monday, the Enderby Chamber of Commerce asked council to adopt a business revitalization tax incentive bylaw. “It would give tax incentives Dee Wejr to businesses so they can do upgrades to their properties,” said Mayor Dee Wejr. “We need to get staff to take a look at it and see how it would work. It’s definitely something worth looking at it and other communities have done it.” In a presentation to council, chamber officials defended the concept of a tax incentive. “The bylaw will encourage revitalization of older commercial buildings, which may include restoration or upgrade of heritage characteristics

but she admits to having reservations about the budget. “They are concerned about how the two per cent is being spent,” she said of the public. “Our administration costs have gone up astronomically in four years and people are questioning that.” Part of the tax increase will go towards higher staff salaries. “It should come out of the existing budget rather than raising taxes,” said Green.
per the official community plan,” said Tate Bengston, executive director. Other goals of the bylaw would be promoting patronage of merchants by residents and visitors, contributing to the retention of existing businesses, attracting new businesses, reducing vacant commercial premises, increasing assessment values and maintaining existing tax revenues in the short term and increasing them over the long-term. Bengston says the tax exemption would only apply to the value of new improvements. “In other words, the municipality will not lose any of the revenue that it currently collects,” he said. “However, over the long-term, the municipality will gain tax revenue as assessment values increase and the phase-in period concludes.” Wejr admits that any impact on city revenue would be a concern, but she is willing to consider a bylaw further. “Maybe something like this would encourage people to do business in Enderby. It may make downtown more vibrant and appealing,” she said.

Ministry out of touch
T
he Ides of March (the 15th) is historically the day in which Julius Caesar met his demise, but it’s now also the day that Victoria did nothing to stop the bleeding in Vernon area schools. On Monday, the Ministry of Education issued a press release bragging about how education funding is increasing for the 10th straight year in B.C. However, if you read the backgrounder provided with the release, you quickly learn that operaRichard Rolke tional funding for the Vernon School District will remain the same as 2009/10 — it’s frozen, not a penny more. Now the government will make the case that it’s bending over backwards for school boards by providing funding for teachers’ wage hikes and the move towards full-day kindergarten. And while that’s all well and good, keep in mind that both the employees’ contract and changes to kindergarten are policies of the ministry, not individual districts. Inevitably, the onus must be on the ministry to pay for them. But the problem with a frozen budget — and anyone out there who hasn’t seen a wage hike recently will know what I’m talking about — is expenditures continue to climb. B.C. Hydro rates are expected to go through the roof, while the North Okanagan Regional District is raising water rates nine per cent across the board. Fuelling up school buses is never cheap and of course there’s a price to be

paid for the government’s carbon neutrality edict. Referring to the backgrounder once again, the ministry indicates it’s keeping funding as is in Vernon despite the district likely losing 156 students in 2010/11. While dropping enrolment means it can’t be business completely as usual, rooms must still be heated and parking lots plowed. Paper must still be fed into the photocopier or handed out to students for projects. “Even if we get the same budget money, it’s unlikely we can go into next year without a substantial reduction,” said Bill Turanski, district chairman. That means that while the original $2.5 million shortfall has been scaled back, cuts are still looming. It may be supplies required in the classroom. It may be teachers or support staff. Schools may be on the chopping block. At the end of the press release, the ministry pats itself on the back once again. “The government is working to make B.C. the best-educated, most literate jurisdiction on the continent. Since 2000-01, the province has increased funding to B.C. public schools by more than $1.3 billion: $919 million in operating grants and $407 million in one-time grants. To date, the number of students in the system has declined by more than 56,000,” it states. It’s increasingly obvious the government doesn’t get it. Even with dropping enrolment, funding isn’t keeping pace with the realities facing schools. And until the ministry gets with the program, trustees will continue to have to make difficult decisions and our students will continue to suffer.
Interesting are the words of a Quebec Liberal MP about the right to play in Canada’s backcountry playgrounds. Justin Trudeau, son of late prime minister Pierre Trudeau, said there should be no limiting Canadians’ access to any backcountry in our borders, and that limiting access to the backcountry “should not be the business of government.” Trudeau, whose brother Michel died when he was swept into the waters of Kokanee Lake, in the Kootenays, by an avalanche in 1998 during a ski outing, was reacting to word that the B.C. government is reconsidering regulations for snowmobilers after the deadly avalanche Saturday near Revelstoke. Two Alberta men were killed and more than 30 were injured, including a pair of North Okanagan residents, when an avalanche came down on about 200snowmobile riders. They were in the backcountry area known as Turbo Bowl to watch or participate in the annual Big Iron ShootOut, an unsanctioned event. Certainly, there are a ton of questions that need to be answered. Why was this event held when extreme avalanche warnings were issued and posted at the site? What is it that makes snowmobilers, snowshoers, hikers or skiers seek out the adrenaline rush of the back-country, knowing full well the dangers involved? The snowmobilers in Revelstoke say they knew the risk, and knew it was dangerous. A great majority of sledders have undergone avalanche training and have avalanche equipment with them. Trudeau is right. A review of the rules is fine, but how can governments take away our rights to enjoy our beautiful country? The onus has to be on the person taking the risk.

Council questioned
W
hat is this Vernon council and administration doing to the city tax-
payer? Giving $850,000 of land to the regional library and receiving nothing from the local participants (Coldstream and Areas B and C) is irresponsible. So once again, the city subsidizes Greater Vernon similar to the way it covers the entire annual deficit of the O’Keefe Ranch, subsidizes Greater Vernon water, pays way more than its fair share of the Sterile Insect Release program and pays an unreasonable share of the costs of regional district administration, etc.
Perhaps it is because senior employees of the city live in Coldstream and our elected people are not capable of understanding
IRISH CHARM I just returned from a trip to Europe. We went to Ireland. It had been recommended that we go to Belfast's oldest tavern, White's Tavern, started in 1630. I had a great time — live traditional music and good food. The interesting part was it's owned by a young couple who are from Vernon, Stephen and Tonya Nixon. Stephen was serving pints of the black stuff (Guinness) and was full of chat. He noticed our accents and we said we were from Kelowna. That's when he said, "I lived for seven years in Vernon and we still have a house there." They spend four months of the year in Vernon. Stephen, it turned out, was born and grew up in Belfast, moved to Canada, married a good Merritt girl and had the opportunity to return and own the oldest tavern in Northern Ireland. We had a great time and it was good to see an Okanagan couple involved in something with so much history. William Stevens WEED CONTROL I am writing in response to the letter by K. Jean Cottam Feb. 3. I too am an honourary Canadian. I watch Hockey Night in Canada every week and listen to Don Cherry. I play sports on the fields around Vernon. They are covered in weeds. Numerous people get injured because of the
what is fair and equitable! We will now have a two-storey library, which the library administrator said was unacceptable.
We have left the future of 25th Avenue improvements and extension in doubt and subject to land acquisition for it, at what major cost? The Ministry of Transportation assisted in the acquisition of the land in a major way back in the 1980s strictly for the 25th Avenue extension. Have they been consulted? No wonder Vernon is one of the highest taxed communities in B.C. Then wait and see how much we will pay for the walkway and improvements on the old medical building site — maybe $3 million in the end. Barry Beardsell
weed population, anything from twisted ankles, dislocated shoulders to broken bones. The City of Vernon should step up its weedmanagement program to keep these weeds under control. I know orchardists regularly plant weeds such as dandelion to attract bees for pollination. I am one of many people who are allergic to bee stings. I would rather see pesticides being applied to control weeds such as dandelion, clover, plantain, etc., than to play sports with the potential of being stung and injured , or worst case scenario, death. During the Super Bowl, did anyone see a patch of clover at the 25-yard line? Or when watching a baseball game at Fenway Park, seeing dandelions throughout the outfield? Obviously someone has considered these to be a hazard for the people using the fields being played on. Why can't local athletes play on fields of similar conditions? Wayne Larrson
experiencing significant budget challenges. That is not to say administrators within our various jurisdictions are not deserving of reasonable compensation. However, are they not retained on the assumption they will do, as Mr. Halvorson describes, "a good job" or was there a possibility in this instance, at an already inflated salary of $146,686 per annum, the prospective administrator's performance may be substandard? According to Mark Carney, the Bank of Canada governor, his office predicts growth within the next decade will decline approximately 30 per cent and that will lead to a cumulative loss of income of $30,000 for every Canadian. On that basis, the directors of the North Okanagan Regional District just approved at the very least, a $10,334, or seven per cent, annual increase to the administrator's salary not to mention the impact on the administrator's pension. Comparatively, that is a sizable bonus that would make even the likes of American investment bankers blush. R. Fraser
SALARY INCREASE I suspect North Okanagan Regional District directors are blushing or at least they should be after approving a five per cent, or $7,334, increase with regard to the district administrator's annual salary. The increase is unacceptable for obvious reasons in particular when considering a large proportion of the district's constituents, private sector businesses and seniors are still reeling from the global financial crises and governments are
CLEAN ROADS Thank you Coldstream for sweeping the streets early this year. I realize you're taking a chance in case there's a major snowfall but I certainly support your good decision. And hats off to public works for the best sweeping I've seen in 20 years. Five passes down each street and plenty of water for immediate dust control. Michael Tindall
WHAT A WASTE I read that Vernon is going to have a water shortage and our water rates are going to rise significantly. So on my way home, I am thinking of all of the ways I can help and save water. I turn down my street and what do I see — a great big City of Vernon water tanker spraying water all over the concrete road that was already clean. What is wrong with this picture? What a waste of valuable water. I guess our elected city officials believe it is better to have clean side streets than for us to be able to water our lawns and shrubs. At least we know what the rate increase is really for. Norma Cox

Merchants protest plans for Polson Parkway
Guilty plea entered in assault case CHERYL WIERDA Black Press
The third person arrested in connection with a brutal assault case in Lake Country last year has pleaded guilty. Stuart James Davis entered guilty pleas to the charges of aggravated assault, unlawful confinement and extortion Monday. His guilty pleas come a week after coaccused Shelley Doris Tubbs pleaded guilty to a charge of theft over $5,000 in relation to the case. The pair, along with James Merkley, came to the attention of local RCMP on Feb. 6, 2009 after Brent Doyle called police to tell them he had been attacked inside a room at the Teddy Bear Lodge in Lake Country earlier in the day. Doyle had gone there with Merkley to pick up some crack cocaine supplies, but instead over a period of several hours he was kicked, stomped and punched by the two
men. He was also hit in the back of the head with a knife and struck with a frying pan. At one point, Tubbs was called to bring transfer documents for Doyle’s truck, and Doyle was forced to sign over his truck to the group. He escaped after he

The Corporation of the
City of Vernon SPRING CHIPPING … DON’T MISS OUT! The Corporation of the City of Vernon will provide curbside pickup of residential prunings on the following dates in 2010 City of Vernon & Foothills Okanagan Landing & Blue Jay
March 23 - 26; March 30 - April 2 April 6 - 9 and April 13 - 15
The Program is funded by residential garbage customers and is provided on the same day and location as regular garbage pickup. Missed piles not reported to the City within 24 hours after the second week will not be picked up.

Spotlight shines on Our Kids Saturday Top 10 performers vie for cash prizes and chance to play Rarearth mainstage Morning Star Staff
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Beamer Wigley, eight, performs a song that he wrote, entitled The Beamer Blues, for a panel of judges in January while taking part in the Our Kids Have Talent auditions. Performances by the top 10 finalists take place at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium Saturday, where the winners will be announced.
Young musicians are about to take centre stage and show that Okanagan kids definitely have talent at the second annual Our Kids Have Talent competition. Tickets are still available for the event finals, which take place at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium Saturday. Sponsored by Kiss FM, The Music Shoppe and the Rarearth Music Festival, the youth talent competition features performances by young artists who were chosen by a panel of judges at a recent audition, said organizer Kath Raeber. “Ten unbelievably talented youth aged eight to 18 will vie for over $15,000 in cash and prizes,” she said, adding the finalists had to market themselves, and garner votes online. Up for awards are solo performers Alexis Leibel, Brandon Schmor, Jeff Piatelli, Matt Harwood-Jones, Mica Lemiski and Peter McKillop. Ensembles include Black and White (featuring Shane Strom, Nick Everett and Neil Baird), The Bridge (Morgan Gauthier, Torsten Raupach, Murray Dunne and Nicholas Denton), Tangelo (Kailee Duggan and Ryan Breitkreutz) and Sam and Luke. They will compete for some serious cash
prizes –– $5,000 to the winner, $2,000 for second and $1,000 for third –– as well as $300 to the remaining seven. The top place winner will also have the chance to share the mainstage with some of the headlining musicians at this summer’s Rarearth Music Festival, which Raeber is also organizing. All 96 youth who auditioned for the competition will play on stage right (a stage specifically designed for them) at the festival, she added. Prizes will also be given out to best performance, best stage presence, best pitch control and best overall musician(s). “There are a few tickets left at both the Rec Centre as well as the Cracked Pot Emporium, but we were sold out last year and had to turn away some very disappointed family members,” said Raeber. “We’ve got a bigger venue this year so hopefully that won’t happen. Any tickets left over will be sold at the door.” Doors to the event open at 5:30 p.m. with performances and presentations starting at 6:30 p.m. A dance will follow with live music by Our Kids auditioners The Flu, The Clones and Sam and Luke. “Please support our musical children by being an audience member. Your applause could change a child forever,” said Raeber. Tickets are $15, with a portion of the proceeds going to going to the Rarearth Giving Foundation. They are available at the Vernon Recreation Complex as well as the Cracked Pot Coffee Emporium. Children 12 and under will be admitted free. More information is available at www. rarearthmusic.com.
Dance at Kindale’s Spring Fiesta Morning Star Staff
Dust off your dancing shoes for Kindale Developmental Association’s annual Spring Fiesta at the Vernon Recreation Complex March 27. North Okanagan band Tantalys has once again been tapped to play the event and have a repertoire that includes classic rock and everything in between, from Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tom Jones and Johnny Cash, said Kindale development officer Cindy Masters, who is helping organize the event. “With the rich vocals of Paul Kinnunen, tasty leads from Tom Chernenkoff, acoustic electric guitar played by Gerhard Traxel and kickin’ drums and vocals by Connie Traxel, Tantalys rocks,” said Masters. “A
good time will be had by all.” Enderby resident Kinnunen began performing with bands in the 1990s. He plays bass and sings a wide array of genres from Frank Sinatra to Tragically Hip. OriginallyfromGrandForks,Chernenkoff has played guitar in local bands for as long as he can remember and currently teaches part time at the Madsen Music School. Gerhard Traxel, who hails from Edmonton, started jamming on his guitar with friends in his basement and at gatherings after moving to Vernon in the early ‘90s. His wife Connie, also from Alberta, started singing harmony with her mother at a young age, but later settled on playing guitar and drums.
Since arriving in Vernon, Connie has played in the band Musical Memories, entertaining seniors at local facilities with old-time favourite sing-along tunes, and she and Gerhard have also played in the stage band for Back Stage Theatre productions. Doors to the Spring Fiesta open at 7 p.m. The event features an appetizer buffet, with Tantalys hitting the stage at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $20, available from Kindale’s Armstrong location at 2725 Patterson Ave., (250) 546-3005, or in Vernon at the Recreation Complex, (250) 545-6035; Grey Dog Café, 3100 30th St., (250) 5427008; Voila Hair Studio, 4105 Pleasant Valley Rd.

And then the Rain came JIM ELDERTON Special to The Morning Star
O
n Sunday, in pouring rain, a dozen people played football on the stage of the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. This was the finale of Cirque Eloizeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show Rain, brought here from Montreal, the heart of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary renewal of circus arts. The story happens during rehearsal for a circus show. Theatre and reality blend, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell where one begins and the other ends. Two people even argue, complaining â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will someone PLEASE explain what this show is about?â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blend of old theatre styles, with footlights and Victorian acrobats, sometimes with sweet sad songs, sometimes like a Fellini movie. Monty Python was there for sure, and one balancing act looked like Tai Chi on steroids. There were tumblers, jugglers, trapeze, strong men, but also strong women. And a contortionist was stuffed into a suitcase. One highlight was the mid-air ballet. Five performers climbed aerial silks, twirling, falling, swinging from silk to silk. Then there was the Roue Cyr, featuring two acrobats within wheels, rolling and swooping about the stage. And when an aerial acrobat worked with a hoop high in the glare of the lights, it really did seem that we were in a big top. Yet when she was landed on stage, she landed in water! Then the rain came. There followed extraordinary effects, never normally possible on stage. The performers conveyed diving, swimming (even synchro-

Ultimately, it was kids playing in the rain! The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director Daniele Finzi Pasca explained: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was little, when the first summer storm came, I was allowed to go out in the garden and play in the rain and get soaked to the skin. I still love that feeling of freedom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shoes full of water, clothes drenched, hair dripping. Let it rain, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say!â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often said of theatre: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The art is to hide the art.â&#x20AC;? Certainly what the audience didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see was every bit as impressive as what they did. The Vernon crew started preparing five days before the show. Above the stage almost all the equipment on line sets had to be shifted or removed, and 2,000 extra feet of lighting cable was needed.

And when the Montreal crew arrived, a 40-foot truss was rigged 50 feet above the stage to carry the aerial equipment, and to allow a technician to work directly above the performers. This was the largest theatre production ever brought to the Performing Arts Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic for Vernon, that our theatre has the capacity to play a show thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to the Queen Elizabeth (Theatre) in Vancouver,â&#x20AC;? said Ted Harrison, one of the two in-house technical directors for the show.

Poets and student scribes read from their works at Vertigo Voices Morning Star Staff
Minds are about to open like the blossoms of a cherry tree when Okanagan College and Gallery Vertigo host the spring session of Vertigo Voices. The seasonal reading series features readings every Wednesday of this month, starting today, by both published poets as well as students from the creative writing program at Okanagan College. “Unlike conventional poetry readings, the Vertigo Voices series is designed to unfold as a dialogue and discussion on the process of writing,” reads a release from the college’s creative writing department. “Invited authors will explore their writing practice, and discuss other writers and books in order to reveal the context and circumstances that have informed their own work.” First up is Vancouver Island poet Wendy Morton, who reads from her work tonight at Gallery Vertigo. A resident of Sooke, who works as an insurance investigator by day, Morton is the founder of the national literary initiative Random Acts of Poetry, and is also known for getting corporate sponsors to back her work. She has been named West Jet’s poet of the skies, and Chrysler’s
poet of the road. Recently commissioned by the Alberni Valley Museum to write poetry from archival photographs and journals, Morton’s resulting fifth book of poetry, What Were Their Dreams? Valleys of Hope and Pain: Canada’s History, gives a living voice to ghosts from the Alberni Valley’s past. “I wanted to write poems for the current residents of the Port Alberni Valley, who had memories of their lives there, or the lives of their fathers,” she is quoted as saying. “I talked to survivors of residential school, to those who had worked at McLean’s mill, to housewives, to miners. They came to the museum with their photos, we sat in two big chairs and they told me their stories. “In a sense, these poems give them a voice, as the poems I wrote for the exhibit gave voice to the ghosts of those who first came to the valley.” Morton starts her reading at 7:30 p.m. tonight, and admission is $3. On March 24, Vancouver writer Fiona Tinwei Lam reads at Vertigo from her two books of poetry,

Information lacking on valley’s water flow JUDIE STEEVES Black Press
You can’t manage what you can’t measure. But, the Okanagan’s network of hydrometric stations measuring the amount of water flowing in streams throughout the Okanagan Basin’s watersheds, was dismantled in the 1980s and 1990s as a budgetcutting measure by the federal government. A total of 156 such stations were discontinued. That lack of current information can lead to problems managing water in the valley. Hydrologist Don Dobson has been assessing and reporting on water in the Okanagan Basin for all levels of government, water utilities and industry for a number of decades and he made a plea to members of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council. He warned that without re-instating an adequate hydrometric network, we could be making decisions based on erroneous data. “If precipitation patterns are changing and we use old data, we’re basing our decisions on mistaken assumptions,” explained Dobson. In fact, with significant watershed changes due to wildfire, pine beetle-ravaged timber and other climate change-related effects, he warned we are probably already doing some of that. What’s needed is the re-activitation of 65 of those stations and creation of 28 new ones, to add to the 25 active Water Survey of Canada stations and the 32 operated by others, such as by water utilities, he told the council. That would bring the network up to 150 stations. He’d like to convince the Okanagan Basin Water Board, to which the stewardship council reports, to take the lead in establishing a new regional system of hydrology stations to be operated in the basin. Without federal or provincial funds, it’s
likely going to be up to local government to take care of it, he commented.
He estimated that for $515,000 it would be possible to build enough stations, and for a fur-
ther $750,000 annually, to operate them. “It looks daunting,” he admitted, but he
It’s simple
said already most water utilities in the valley maintain several upland stations, so if the data
from those was gathered by staff but made available in a central archive, that cost could
drop substantially. “We should begin by identifying existing stations,” he said.

sports B Vipers look to shut down Mills EDITOR: Kevin Mitchell s s SPORTS VERNONMORNINGSTAR COM
BY KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Goaltender Kirby Halcrow hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got a clue why he and the pesky Quesnel Millionaires are still around in their B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference semifinal series with the Vernon Vipers. After all, the Vipers were ranked No. 2 in the country and the Mills finished a couple of time zones behind them in the regular season. Quesnel really had no business forcing the Vipers to beat them 4-0 Monday night at Wesbild Centre and then hop on a bus to the Gold Pan City moments afterwards for Game 6 (Tuesday night). The Mills converted a few turnovers on their postage stamp-sized rink and surprised the Vipers 3-1 before 1,000 fans Saturday night to even the best-of-seven series. A seventh game, if required, would go tonight in Vernon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No idea,â&#x20AC;? said Halcrow, when asked how the Mills are pushing the Vipers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess our teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a bunch of playoff players. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better late than never. Hopefully, we can keep it going here.â&#x20AC;? The Vipers simplified their game, mixed up their lines, wandered into the greasy areas and got steady netminding from second star Graeme Gordon in Game 5. Forwards David Robinson and Rob Short especially paid the price for driving the net as they were assaulted with just about every Criminal Code offence in the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a hard-working team and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to go to those areas, and we just gotta beat them there and win those battles when we get there,â&#x20AC;? said Short, named third star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did that tonight, for sure.â&#x20AC;? Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Mark Ferner was happy to see his team move away from the perimeter and enter the hard-hat zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to do it,â&#x20AC;? said Ferner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously playoff hockey. What our guys have to understand is that it also wears on them. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going there, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotta lean on you. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a younger defence, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a great job, but we know if we continue to do those things, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to create some opportunities.â&#x20AC;? The Vipers outshot the Mills 38-26 before 1,615 fans Monday night in a game which finally saw some real hate ensue.
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Vipers' netminder Graeme Gordon tracks the rebound off a Quesnel point shot while a crowd battles for it in front during Game 5 of the B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference semifinal series Monday night at Wesbild Centre. The Vipers won 4-0. There were two entertaining fights in the late going. Lightweights Dylan Walchuk of the Vipers and Branden Redschlag battled to a draw with Redschlag earning the takedown, while David Robinson of Vernon won a unanimous decision over Brandon Watson in a middleweight tilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This series has been a battle,â&#x20AC;? said Halcrow, who made 35 saves in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win on his 19th birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what went on tonight. We kind of got away from our game there and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they capitalized. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away from your gameplan against this team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just too good. We gotta be better tomorrow.â&#x20AC;? Halcrow, who plans to upgrade some classes and earn a scholarship in the next year, says the Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boisterous fans gives his club a huge lift so he was looking forward to Game 6. Quesnel head coach Glen Watson, who could get plenty of votes for mayor these days, figures confidence is carrying his
youthful troops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of chipped away at it and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some good games against these guys and we believe in what we can do,â&#x20AC;? said Watson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting and it builds some character for our hockey club and our organization for what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be sold out tomorrow night.â&#x20AC;? First star Connor Jones opened the scoring shorthanded at 10:01 of the first period when he beat Halcrow to a loose puck behind the net and buried his third of the playoffs on an easy wrap-around. Mike Collins converted a rebound four minutes later after Braden Pimm riverdanced around rookie defenceman Rylan Stanyer and shot from the low slot. Short, who rocked former teammate Eliot Raibl with the hardest hit of the night, struck the crossbar with 40 seconds left in the period. Vernon went up 3-0 two minutes into the second period when Kellen Jones scored from the mid slot with Sahir Gill and Connor Jones assisting. Kellen Jones stripped rookie Chris Kerr of the puck deep in the Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; zone and just
failed on a deke attempt with eight minutes remaining in the period. Five minutes later, Short just missed from the side of the net after a nifty feed by Pimm. Cole Ikkala completed the offence with 1:36 remaining in the game, snapping a 65-footer into an empty net as Halcrow tried diving back into his cage after starting toward the bench for a sixth attacker. It was Ikkalaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third of the post-season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had more scoring opportunities and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to generate anything,â&#x20AC;? said Watson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good hockey club weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing against and if you give them that inch, they take it on you.â&#x20AC;? In Quesnel, Ikkala gave the Vipers a 1-0 first-period lead before the Mills went ahead on second-period goals by former Quebec Major Junior League veteran Joshua Desmarais and Clayton Chessa. Trever Hertz completed the Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence in the third at Twin Arenas. The Penticton Vees shut down the Westside Warriors 3-0 Monday night before 1,658 fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre to grab a 3-2 lead in that series.

Canoe excursion ends in tragedy ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Severe hypothermia and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors in a tragic outing on Sugar Lake near Cherryville Sunday. A 20-year-old Lumby man drowned in the early morning hours after he and two friends, who had been camping on the beach, decided to go canoeing on the lake at approximately 5 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A short distance from the shore, the canoe tipped over, causing all three males to enter the frigid waters,â&#x20AC;? said Lumby RCMP Cpl.

One occupant immediately swam for the beach, about 50-metres away. The other two clung to the overturned canoe and attempted to kick toward the shore. A short time later, the victim decided to

Two men from the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group and another adult on the beach saw what was happening, and all three attempted to save the victim, but they were unable to get him ashore on time. Once on the beach, CPR was attempted, but without success. The third male still clinging to the canoe was rescued by a friend who had commandeered a boat from the nearby campground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three rescuers are to be commended for their brave efforts, in attempting to rescue the deceased from the frigid waters,â&#x20AC;? said

COUNTERFEIT RING BUSTED IN SURREY DAN FERGUSON (Surrey Leader)
There was $96,000 in fake American banknotes and $130,000 in Canadian, mostly 50 and 100 dollar bills. And there were computers and printers and other hardware used to produce the bogus money. Police who seized the counterfeit cash and equipment from a location in Surrey last week are calling it the largest seizure of its kind in B.C. history. Four people were arrested. Two have been charged. Richard Thomas McGaw, a 30-year-old Coquitlam resident and Jesko Stefan Lindt, a 49-year-old from Surrey, face trial for allegedly making and possessing counterfeit banknotes and for possessing instruments for making counterfeit banknotes. Lindt was released on condition to appear in court at a later date. McGaw, who is also facing additional charges for breaching his bail conditions, remains in custody. The other two who were arrested, a 55-year-old man and 28-year-old woman, were not named by police. They have been released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. The raid was carried out May 14 by the RCMP Federal Commercial Crime Sectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Integrated Counterfeit Enforcement Team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am conďŹ dent that this counterfeit currency lab takedown will signiďŹ cantly reduce the counterfeit banknotes in B.C.,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Tony Farahbakhchian, the counterfeit co-ordinator for the federal commercial crime section in B.C. Overall, Farahbakhchian said the number of counterfeit bills has decreased in the last ďŹ ve years.

TORONTO (Torstar)
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty unveiled regulations yesterday to force the credit-card industry to overhaul disclosure practices on fees and give consumers more time to avoid sky-high interest rates. The measures include a minimum 21-day â&#x20AC;&#x153;interestfreeâ&#x20AC;? grace period on all new purchases when consumers pay their balance in full by the due date. Speaking to reporters at a downtown Toronto hotel, Flaherty said the changes are meant to provide relief

tion Canadians will be able to make better decisions.â&#x20AC;? But the minister was adamant that Ottawa would not impose a limit or cap on credit card interest rates. He added the ďŹ nancial institutions initially resisted the 21-day grace period, a change that will cost them â&#x20AC;&#x153;tens of millions of dollars.â&#x20AC;? New Democrat Party leader Jack Layton called the changes inadequate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rates of interest have not been brought down. Instead, the font size has been brought up so people will know how much theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being gouged,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to help Canadians to pay the bills.â&#x20AC;?

Rookie Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe supplied a game-high 10 rebounds in just 15 minutes of floor time as the Simon Fraser Clan stuffed the Windsor Lancers 77-56 to defend their Canadian Interuniversity Sport womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball championship Sunday in Hamilton. Raincock-Ekunwe, a Kalamalka Laker grad, added three points, three steals and two blocks on the way to earning tournament rookie all-star honours. Robyn Buna of Kelowna, B.C., scored a gamehigh 17 points for the Clan, while Laurelle Weigl of Stony Plain, Alta., contributed 16. Jessica Clemencon of St. Rambert, France, led the Lancers with 14 points. Raincock-Ekunwe, averaged 9.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in 16 CIS regular-season games. The Clan are the first team since the Manitoba Bisons in 1996 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;97 to win back-to-back national titles. Next season, they will leave CIS to play in NCAA Division II.

A provincial high school title one year. A national college championship the next. Toss in a berth on the B.C. Colleges Athletic Association All Rookie Team and Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lenai Schmidt is in volleyball dreamland. Schmidt, 18, helped the UBC Okanagan Heat womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team stopped the Collège François-Xavier Garneau Ă&#x2030;lans in three sets Sunday night in Gatineau, Quebec to claim the national gold medal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first, it was very nerve-wracking,â&#x20AC;? said Schmidt, a Kalamalka Laker grad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very excited and nervous to be in the final, but as soon as we got rolling, our passing was good and could use the middle or outside and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t key on one thing.â&#x20AC;? The Heat were led by championship MVP Alex Basso of Kelowna, while setter Caitlin Nyhus (Penticton) delivered the goods and her hitters responded, peppering the FX Garneau defence with powerful attacks. Basso recorded a dozen kills, while Leigh Dreher (Prince George) added 11 kills. Sara Zaytsoff (Langley) added 12 points with four blocks and eight kills, including a kill score for the final point. Heat head coach Steve Manuel said Schmidt, a libero, was spectacular on defence and passed amazingly throughout the match, and was the only libero selected to the all-star teams (second). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lenai has made an immediate impact with the Heat this season,â&#x20AC;? said Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She earned a starting spot part way through the first half of the season, not an easy feat to accomplish for a rookie on a national championship team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Lenaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work and determination have paid off and she has a national gold medal hanging around her neck to show for it...She has a bright future ahead of her as she continues to develop as a top libero in the CCAA.â&#x20AC;?

Heat libero Lenai Schmidt (front) gets low to defend a shot during BCCAA womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball action with UBC Okanagan. Schmidt, a Kalamalka Lakers grad, helped the Heat earn a national title Sunday in Gatineau, Que. It was a back-and-forth battle in the first set, but FX Garneau were able to pull ahead midway through. When the Heat were down 18-18 in the first set, Dreher went back to the service line and ran off four straight serves to tie things up, then Alycia Bradstock came into the match at 19-19 and served five straight points. UBC Okanagan came up with a couple of big plays that turned the tide for the rest of the match as they went on an 11-3 run to take the first set 25-21. The Heat jumped out to a couple of quick leads in the second set and never looked back from there winning 25-19 and convincingly in the third set 25-12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FX Garneau is a great team and they played great tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pushed us from the first serve and never
quit but our crew played like true champions tonight and would not be denied this title. Our passing and defence was stellar which allowed us to run an almost unstoppable offence, add in some clutch serving and that was the recipe for success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could not be prouder of the 12 athletes and my coaching staff of Karl Enns, Becki Kosinski and Jackie Wong for buying into what we had planned for the season and believing every step of the way that we would repeat as national champions,â&#x20AC;? said Manuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an awesome year, everything I could have expected and more,â&#x20AC;? said Schmidt, who is in the Bachelor of Arts program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were one little family and the coaches all helped me a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Tucker takes national all-star honours Morning Star Staff
After being swept out of gold medal contention by the Limoilou Titans in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal, the UBC Okanagan Heat menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball team could have easily packed it in and called it a season. The No. 3 Heat rebounded to claim bronze at the CCAA national championships by knocking off the Humber College Hawks in straight sets Saturday night at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton. The Heat, who knocked off Humber 25-22, 25-21, 25-18, dominated the Hawks for the second time in the tournament after opening the tournament with a five-set win over the Ontario college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to finish off the season with a solid effort, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter who we
played,â&#x20AC;? said Heat head coach Greg Poitras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were ranked third in the country all year so it was fitting to finish with a bronze.â&#x20AC;? UBC Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setter Preston Tucker, a Seaton grad, opened the match with two aces, before adding two more later in the first set, forcing the Hawks to call a timeout. The Heat were able to hold on for a hard-earned first-set win, foiling Humberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numerous comeback attempts. Tucker and teammate Nate Speijer both earned CCAA All-Canadians Tournament All-star recognition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preston Tucker did an outstanding job following our offensive plan. He raised his level of play with his serve and blocking,â&#x20AC;? said Poitras.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeremy Kler (Seaton grad) also finished with his best performance of the season.â&#x20AC;? The second game saw UBC O big men Chris Howe and Mark Broome record a number of impressive blocks against the heavy hitting Humber team to pace the Heat in the second set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We watched our video from the first game against them and looked at things to improve and we saw that the right side player was hitting around our blocks,â&#x20AC;? said Poitras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time we put some more hands in front of him and it worked out well.â&#x20AC;? UBC O jumped out to an early lead in the third set, forcing Humber to make critical mistakes that allowed the Heat to capture bronze.

Canada rink ramping up GRANT GRANGER Black Press
VANCOUVER – The silvery head of Jim Armstrong is barely visible in the centre of a swarm of school kids seeking his autograph surrounding his wheelchair. It’s as if Armstrong is a rock star. He is, sort of. He’s the skip of the Canadian wheelchair curling team at the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. Armstrong, 59, has been throwing stones on curling sheets since 1958. But his knees, which have undergone 14 operations, have been crippled by curling, standing all day long as a dentist and by a serious car accident. So the Richmond resident switched to curling on wheels. He’s been to the Brier – the Canadian men’s curling championship – six times, twice as a skip. It’s the highest level of the sport. But this week beats it all. “I’ve got to tell you, and I’m not belittling the Brier experience, this truly in my experience is second to none,” said Armstrong. “Forgetting the anticipation before the event, but I’ll tell you when we wheeled into BC Place (for the opening ceremony Friday) night, if that didn’t blow your socks off it should have. It was absolutely unbelievable. It was packed, and it was hummin’ and it was all Canadian. It was a great experience, and we’ve just carried on from then.” During Monday’s afternoon draw, the
stands at Vancouver Paralympic Centre were packed with elementary-aged school students on a field trip. “I believe we’ve hit a new generation of curling fans,” said Armstrong with a smile. “When we’re at the Brier, it’s a little more sophisticated, a little more subdued, a little more mature than at the Olympics. Certainly at our event the crowds are younger, more boisterous, and they just seem to enjoy themselves a lot more.” They certainly enjoyed what Armstrong and his teammates – third Darryl Neighbour of Richmond, second Ina Forrest of Armstrong and lead Sonja Gaudet of Vernon – delivered, which was a 13-2 spanking of Japan. (Canada later lost 8-4 to Sweden, which went into the day winless, in the evening but still retained first place at 4-1.) Every time a Canadian stone took out a Japanese one, the kids, between chants of “CAN-A-DA,” would let out huge shrill cheers. Even though she’s been to three world championships, Forrest, 47, says being the host team at the Paralympics is quite different. Before every game, as the players are being marched out onto the ice, she scours the crowd and gives a wave to her family. “It’s new for us to have such a large crowd,” said Forrest, whose legs were paralyzed in a car accident in 1984. “Being a hometown crowd it’s really good for us, lots of cheering at the right times.
Sometimes the crowd is a little exuberant but it’s great being at home knowing your family’s here. “It’s nice to know where they are in the crowd.” Gaudet was on Canada’s gold-medal squad in Torino in 2006. She said besides the crowds and the awareness of the Paralympics in Vancouver, the other big difference is in how good the teams are getting. “There isn’t the gap between the teams like there was in Torino. You maybe saw five strong teams in Torino and a bigger gap between the rest. But that doesn’t seem to be the case any more,” said Gaudet. “There’s a better understanding of the game, and also, everybody’s gotten better technically around the world. We’re just learning better ways to throw the rock, better ways that work for disabilities.” She also gets to have her family experience these Games with her. “When I was in Torino I just wanted my family to be a part of everything. You can’t really explain what it’s like there, and now they get that feeling. It’s nice,” said the mother of two. The Canadian quartet, coached by Joe Rea of Prince George, has been getting together twice a month. Otherwise, Armstrong and Neighbour play on the same men’s league team in Richmond while Forrest and Gaudet play together at the Vernon Curling Club.

Gutsy Bruins bag gold over North Delta Morning Star Staff
The Winfield Bruins were battered and bruised with a short bench but they battled hard to clip North Delta 5-4 in the A final of the Vernon Bantam Tier 3 Spring Break Hockey Tournament Sunday at Civic Arena. The host Vernon Veterinary Clinic Knights toppled Cranbrook 7-1 to finish seventh in the eight-team affair. Winfield started the tournament with 10 skaters and two goalies. They lost d-man Rebecca Blinkhorn to injury in their opener against. Grande Prairie and then lost another player to injury in the semifinals. The Bruins held a 4-1 secondperiod lead before Delta scored three unanswered goals. Dylan Delaurier connected with 24 seconds left for the winner. By the third period, the Bruins’ legs were exhausted but they persevered. “This tournament was a good life lesson for the players in that it proves that nothing is impossible,” said Winfield head coach Jason Rohatensky. “You can do anything if you are determined and work hard.” “It was a very exciting and amaz-
ing end of season for this team. One of the North Delta parents remarked that we have a ‘gutsy group of kids that played smart hockey who outworked, outskated, and outhustled all teams with a shorthanded team.” The Bruins got great goaltending from Jacob Stinn and Steven Woods and solid leadership from captains Brady Mende, Connor Gallacher and Delaurier. Vernon got a hat trick from Ian Bulmer as they iced Cranbrook. Justin Backus added 2+1, while Mitchell Lukacs earned 1+2 and Lee Springer also scored once. Ryley Booth had two assists. The Knights, coached by Keith Tucker, bowed 7-4 to North Delta in their opener with Backus, Lukacs, Travis Churchill and Bulmer handling the Vernon offence. In Saturday action, the Knights tied Grande Prairie 3-3 and lost 5-1 to Winfield. Bulmer, with 1+2, Springer and Churchill scored in the tie with Griffin Fried providing a pair of helpers. Lukacs from Springer accounted for Vernon’s goal versus Winfield.

Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flyers clipped the DCT Chambers Red Bulls 5-4 in overtime Sunday in an all-Vernon final of the nine-team Penticton Bantam Spring Break Hockey Tournament at Memorial Arena. Towering forward Conor Butte-Landsfried took a feed from Travis Webster and wired a 50-foot slapshot past Brady Beaudry at 2:35 of overtime. The Flyers, who finished fifth behind the regular-season North Okanagan champion Red Bulls, got third-period goals four minutes apart from Austin Bosquet and Justin Ramsey to force the extra period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys were all worthy weekend warriors,â&#x20AC;? said Flyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Kevin Mitchell, who was doused with water by captain Jeremy Clark after the trophy presentation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They saved their best hockey for the last tournament of the year, and worked their butts off to beat the ultra-talented Red Bulls.â&#x20AC;? Webster finished with 2+2 for Dennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, who got two helpers from Ramsey and stellar goaltending from Austin Goss, who stoned big Brock Wagner on a late breakaway. Chad Lindenbach, with 1+2, Brennan Martin, Russel Day and captain Sean Greene, who had a great game on defence, replied for the Red Bulls. The Bulls dominated the physical Flyers for the first 40 minutes, outshooting them 33-19, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a fifth past Goss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys played very well this weekend making it to their fourth A final in as many tournaments,â&#x20AC;? said DCT head coach Norm Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think playing four games in four days last

Angie Fisher and her mother, Paulette Barry, work on organizing the Mind 2 Muscle event.
Women shine on stage CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff
The road to the Mind 2 Muscle Showcase began with some detective work for one of the participants. “I tracked Paulette (Barry) down. I had met her at a belly dancing class and when I decided to do some weight training, I knew I wanted her to train me. I phoned every gym in town until I found her,” said Elaine Host, 63, who will be taking part in the Fourth Annual Mind 2 Muscle Spring Showcase April 2. “There were lots of excuses not to do it but at my age you can’t procrastinate. It’s empowering to set the goals and achieve them. I find that achieving goals here carries over to other areas of my life. And it’s fun.” Host appreciates the chance to meet so many people from different backgrounds at the gym, including those who are recovering from accidents or illness. “For some people, this is their first time on stage. It’s a chance for everyone to work toward a goal and be in a show. We stop ourselves in so many ways. That is what is neat
about being my age, if something grabs you, you start,” she said. Barry, a personal trainer at Ladies World, said it has been a pleasure to work with Host to prepare her to participate in all the showcases. “She is just getting stronger and better over the years. She always gets compliments and she motivates other women of all ages. She encompasses all that women can be and she is so generous with sharing and encouraging others,” said Barry. The Mind 2 Muscle Showcase was developed by Barry and her daughter, Angie Fisher, to give the women they train and people in the community an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments in fitness, body building and figure training. The showcase includes participants from other fitness facilities as well as dance and musical entertainment. Fisher came up with the name for the event when she was playing on her daughter’s Etch-a-Sketch and this year her daughter, Julia Fisher, five, will be in the show in the Zumba dancing. “My mom had a vision to have a venue

Elaine Host is one of 70 participants in the Fourth Annual Ladies World Mind 2 Muscle Spring Showcase April 2 to benefit the Vernon Disabilities Association. to showcase accomplishments that was not a competition and this really is an opportunity for women to shine,” said Fisher, who is also a job coach at Community Futures. The pair has added a twist with the Little Black Dress and Sports Wear rounds. “No matter what size or shape women are, they are beautiful and this is their chance to dress up and inspire others. We have one participant who is having chemotherapy and she said the showcases give her a goal to work towards,” said Barry. The Sports Wear round is new this year with fashions provided by Square One. There will be more than 70 participants ages four to 70s with the rounds and music
and dance numbers. Last year, there were more than 700 in the audience at the event. “Women show how they can be fit and take care of themselves. Anyone who goes on the stage is busting through some form of limitation. They can be inspired to do what they want in all areas of their lives. You learn to trust that part of yourself that says you can and that the doors are open,” said Barry. The Fourth Annual Ladies World Mind 2 Muscle Spring Showcase takes place April 2 at 7:30 p.m. at the Vernon Recreation Centre. Tickets are $15 in advance at Ladies World and $20 at the door. Proceeds go to the Vernon Learning Disabilities Association.

Local pioneer celebrates 100th birthday Morning Star Staff
From riding the rails, to chasing lost turkeys to peeling cedar poles, August Altwasser has done a lot in his century of living. He was born in Poland March 17, 1910, one of 12 children of Karl and Emelia Altwasser. When he was 17, he and his sister, Augustine, came to Canada to join their older brother, Gus, in Weyburn, Sask. He worked on a variety of farms to pay for his room and board and to learn English. He became good friends with a fellow named Steve Golfy. Both were smitten by the call, “Go West, Young Man,” so they did. He and Golfy rode the box cars as far as Alberta, purchased a ticket to B.C. and wound up at Bell Pole’s yard in Lumby. They camped out for a few days and then got a job making hay. After that, the men worked for Bill and Fred Schunter on the farm and in the bush at Sugar Lake. In 1935, Altwasser and Golfy were the first to log up the Shuswap River past the Fraser Lodge. With their white horse, Casey, they skidded out cedar trees to make shakes and poles. They were paid half a cent for a peeled pole so a 30-foot-long pole was worth 15 cents. Once a month, they would go into Lumby for supplies and Altwasser loved going to the dances at the Cherryville Hall. The ladies would make a box lunch which would be auctioned off to the men, with the highest bidder getting to eat the lunch and spend the rest of the evening dancing with the lady. Altwasser was enjoying life. But he had to return to Saskatchewan to recover from a broken leg. When he originally arrived from Poland he had met
logging and their two oldest sons, Ken and Gerald, were born. He later worked on building the Shuswap Dam, then the family moved to Rutland for awhile where he worked at a variety of jobs. But Altwasser loved the Lumby/Vernon area and bought a house near the Lakeside Hotel on Okanagan Lake. In 1944, he returned to Lumby and bought Jacob Wagner’s Dairy Farm. Irene and the boys helped with the farm chores while Altwasser worked logging to help pay for the dairy farm. Twins, Garry and Gail, were born and then Jim (Keith). Altwasser then bought two more farms and when his wife died in 1993 — after 55 years of marriage — he retired from farming at age 88 and moved to Saddle Mountain Place in Lumby. He shares his apartment with his faithful cat, Jennie, and likes his extended “family” at Saddle Mountain Place, enjoying eating with them three times a week, his daily morning crib games and especially Popcorn Monday. He is well known for growing a large garden and sharing his produce and can be seen riding his one-speed bike or scooter around town. Altwasser thinks honesty, hard work and a simple lifestyle are the keys to his longevity. He also adds a shot of brandy, a couple of rolled cigarettes, an alfalfa pill and three good meals a day. Complete that with a great sense of humour. Friends and family say he is an inspiration and amazing role model with his positive outlook, enjoyment of each day and zest for living. There will be an open house Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in honour of Altwasser at the Whitevalley Community Hall in Lumby. No gifts, please — a warm hello is enough.

Back in Saskatchewan, Altwasser’s second encounter with Irene proved to be more eventful when they both ended up at the same dance on Saturday evening and never looked back. He returned to Lumby where they kept their romance alive by mail until Irene could join him. They were married in 1937. Altwasser built a log house near Sugar Lake, worked in
Xeriscaping saves water Editor’s note: Isabel Prystawik fills in for Fred Lyall this week. here was a worrisome front page article in the March 7 Morning Star headlined “Shrinking snowpack a concern.” We are told that because of the lack of snow at higher elevations, it is likely that Greater Vernon residents will experience severe water restrictions this summer. This impending need to conserve water (combined with increasing water rates) has many people seriously thinking about replacing or reducing the amount of lawn they maintain. While some might believe that their only water-conserving choice over Fred Lyall lawn is asphalt or a lot of rocks, there is an attractive alternative known as xeriscape. The word xeriscape comes from the Greek word xeros, meaning dry, and the Anglo-Saxon word schap, meaning scape. While the idea of a dryscape may not sound all that appealing, there are hundreds of plants that are quite happy in low-water conditions. In fact, you likely have some in your flower garden right now. Iris, for example, are extremely drought-tolerant plants that provide a gorgeous splash of colour from May to June. Xeriscaping doesn’t mean you have to give up your favourite hostas or other moisture-loving plants. You simply group your plants according to their water needs to ensure the most efficient irrigation. Nor does it mean you have to give up your lawn entirely. Consider how much of your lawn is actively used and think about replacing the underutilized lawn with drought-tolerant plants, a deck or patio. Mulching is another very important part of xeriscaping. Mulch is a layer of organic material that covers the soil surface between plants. It helps conserve moisture, control weeds and protect the soil and roots from extremes of temperature. Using a variety of plants will create a diverse landscape that will attract birds and butterflies and reduce pests. Xeriscaping is not about any particular look but is a method of landscaping that uses a few

basic principles to create a beautiful landscape that uses less water and pesticides, attracts birds and butterflies, and requires less maintenance than a conventional landscape. The Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) with their many partners, sponsors and supporters have put the xeriscaping concept into action with their Xerindipity garden, located next to the Okanagan Science Centre, in Polson Park. Waste Reduction co-ordinator Karmen Morgan said, “Xerindipity showcases composting (including vermicomposting) through the display of a variety of backyard bin styles, drought-tolerant plantings, and pesticide-free landscape management as a way to reduce the use and dependency on landfills, water and unnecessary chemical fertilizers. Garden visitors can gather ideas on how to easily introduce these concepts to their own yards seven days a week May through October.” Commencing in May, Xerindipity Garden is also home to free, monthly workshops on topics including xeriscaping, composting, water wise gardening, square foot gardening, food production, and pesticide-free gardening. Contact the RDNO at 250-550-3700 for more information on upcoming workshop topics. In 2009, Vernon’s Communities in Bloom (CiB) committee brought the volunteer judges to Xeridipity Garden to showcase our community’s efforts in the areas of environmental awareness, landscaped areas and turf and groundcovers, as well as community participation, because so many volunteers helped to make the garden a reality. The judges were impressed with the garden and mentioned the garden’s achievements in the evaluation document. Certainly, Xerindipity garden contributed to our success in the competition, where Vernon won three out of five blooms, with special mention for community involvement. Vernon’s CiB committee is gearing up for this year’s competition and would like to highlight your efforts. Have you xeriscaped your yard, business or place of worship? Please contact us and let us know so that we may highlight your good work in the competition. For more information about Communities in Bloom, see www.bccommunitiesinbloom.ca or call 250-550-6820.

Music students practise for pennies Morning Star Staff
Practice makes perfect and for Shari Bootsma’s Music for Young Children students, it also makes for fundraising. In honour of Music For Young Children’s 30th birthday, MYC teachers and students across North America are raising money for their local Fire Fighter’s Burn Fund. MYC’s head office will match the students’ fundraising efforts up to $10,000 internationally. Sponsors paid students one penny or a few pennies for every minute of practising done over a period of four weeks. “The students’ enthusiasm was evident in the amount raised, but it also showed an improvement in their music abilities,” said Bootsma. More than 30 of Bootsma’s students raised $550 which was presented to local fire
ticipating and includes piano instruction, singing, rhythm ensembles, sight reading, ear training, theory and composition. Notes on the keyboard and staff are introduced with puppets and reinforced with games and other fun activities. Bootsma has taught this
program to children ages three to 10 in Vernon for the last nine years. For more information on the Burn Fund see www.burnfund.org or for Music For Young Children, call Bootsma at 250-558-5513 or see www.myc.com/teacher/ sbootsma.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) A good opportunity might be dumped in your lap, but you might have to prime the pump a bit to get a positive flow started. Don’t hesitate to begin an outpouring and get back what you gave.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) You might discover that all your anxiety and reluctance to face a situation has been in vain once you confront the situation. Be bold about anything that means a lot to you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) This is an excellent time to let your thinking be known, especially with someone you’d like to impress. At the very least, take some kind of confident action that expresses your desires.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Give priority to matters of substance that could enhance your material security. It is futile to waste your precious time and energy on unprofitable issues or projects.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) There’s no need to think that asking a friend for help makes you look inadequate or weak. On the contrary, it shows the confidence you have in yourself.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) If someone with whom you have to deal is one who bases his/her judgment more on feelings than on logic, you might want to take what this person has to say with a grain of salt.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) If you are prepared to do some skillful negotiating that requires the use of all your smarts, you’ll have a far better chance of succeeding with some kind of business or financial haggling. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) It behooves you to do more listening than talking when in the company of some successful friends who are discussing ways and means to make money. Profitable pearls of wisdom may be revealed. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) There are better-than-usual chances for forming a joint agreement concerning an endeavor in which you offer the experience and expertise and the other person is putting up the startup funds. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Although your associates may have some good ideas, yours are likely to be better because you’ve probed the areas in depth. Theirs come from merely skimming the surface.
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY You’re likely to establish a number of new contacts in the year ahead, both in terms of business and social connections. There will be several among them who might prove to be of considerable help to you in furthering your dreams.

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.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Take advantage of fraternizing with coworkers away from your place of business. In a relaxed setting, an exchange of ideas could breed something quite beneficial for you. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) If your main objective is to please your customer or client, business and pleasure should mix quite well. Partake in something that s/he enjoys, so this person will be happily at ease.

Bridge by Phillip Alder In “Lessons at the Halfway Point,” Michael Levine wrote, “Successful people are very lucky. Just ask any failure.” This deal is an echo of Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Many declarers would play it one way, go down, then shake their heads. Some would realize they had misplayed, but most would complain about being unlucky. Are you feeling lucky on St. Patrick’s Day? How would you try to make four spades after West leads the heart king? North’s negative double showed exactly four spades. East put on the pressure with his jump to four hearts, but you had enough to rebid four spades. The original declarer
adopted the naturallooking line, drawing three rounds of trumps ending in his hand and playing a diamond to dummy’s king. But when East discarded a heart, South’s contract had died. He couldn’t establish the diamonds without running out of trumps. Declarer could win only three top spades, one heart, one diamond, one club and one ruff in each hand: down two. As the contract is always safe against a 2-2 or 3-1 diamond break, you should consider the 4-0 possibility. On the first round, you should cover West’s diamond two with dummy’s four (showoff!). If East could win with the nine and return a heart, you would ruff and lead another diamond to
establish your suit. Here, though, after East discards, you continue with the diamond king. West takes the trick and leads his heart queen, but you ruff, cash the diamond queen, and concede a diamond. You get back to your hand via the club ace to cash the last two diamonds.
