North Okanagan curlers golden ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
As second on Canada’s wheelchair curling team, one of Ina Forrest’s duties is to steady the chair of her skip, Jim Armstrong. So, fulfilling her role, Forrest was unable to tell right away if Armstrong’s final rock in the gold medal match Saturday at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics against Korea was good enough for gold. “I’m the anchor for Jim so I don’t see his rock when it goes because I have to come up from behind,” said Forrest, an Armstrong mother who, along with Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet, make up half of the Canadian foursome. “Once I got far enough where I could see, and you have to realize Jim’s a pretty large man, I could tell it was good. “Jim put his hands up because he could see no problem with the shot.” Armstrong’s final rock in the eighth and final end knocked one of two Korean rocks out of the rings, giving Canada an 8-7 win, and securing the gold for host Canada in front of a crowd of more than 5,000. Canada led 8-1 at one point in the final. “Korea came back and made it close,” said Forrest, who arrived home in Armstrong Monday afternoon. “We had the lead and weren’t going to play the game any different in a conservative way. Our attitude was that if we lose a point here or there that’s okay, there’s only four ends to go. They took a few more points than we hoped. It was getting a little bit exciting at the end.” Armstrong was an able-bodied curler who has been to eight Briers – Canadian men’s curling championship – including two as a skip. But 14 operations, standing all day as a dentist and a serious car accident have rendered his knees all but useless so he switched to wheelchair curling. Forrest credits Armstrong’s experience and poise as a major reason for winning gold in Vancouver. “Jim’s experience in ice reading

Vernon’s Sonja Gaudet (left) and Armstrong’s Ina Forrest celebrate their gold medal victory in wheelchair curling at the 2010 Paralympic Games in Vancouver. Canada beat Korea 8-7 in Saturday’s championship game. and just the whole knowledge of the game and strategy gives us a lot of confidence,” she said. “He says ‘we don’t have to worry about this. We’ll give them one and we’ll take one.’ It’s a calming factor for all of us. He’s seen this before, he’s managing the scoreboard, and it’s a comfortable feeling for everyone.” For Forrest, a veteran of three world championships, Vancouver was her first Paralympics and her first Paralympics gold medal. It was a chance to play games in front of loud, enthusiastic crowds of 5,000. “It was pretty fantastic, playing at home, coming into the venue and having the crowd go wild,” said Forrest, whose husband, kids,
brothers and sisters and their spouses plus her husband’s family were in the stands cheering her on during the competition. “The excitement was like nothing I’d ever seen before. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that happy, that excited, that thrilled by anything else I’ve ever experienced in my life. I don’t know how I’ll ever top it.” Gaudet, who threw lead stones for Armstrong, was a member of Canada’s gold medal-winning squad in Torino, Italy, in 2006. “This one means a little bit more because we competed in front of a whole bunch of Canadian fans and family,” said an exhausted Gaudet Tuesday morning. “More than anything that would be the most

important part, to share the experience with family and friends.” Gaudet had her kids, husband, lots of friends from the North Vancouver area, aunts, cousins and uncles cheering her and her teammates on. To celebrate the gold medal afterwards with loved ones made the experience that much more memorable. “We ended up at the Shaw Towers at the waterfront by the cauldron, with family and friends, all the sledge hockey team, our team and all their family and friends, that was great,” said Gaudet. “Definitely a big part of the experience was sharing it with everybody.” Canada’s Paralympics wheelchair curling team is a selection squad, meaning the same four could

be chosen to represent Canada at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia. Gaudet isn’t sure if a third Paralympics is on her to-do list. “I’m trying not to think about that,” she laughed. “Obviously, right away, you say you want to repeat the experience again because there’s a bit of a letdown afterwards. I’m going to take some time to think about that.” Likewise, Forrest will take some time to decide if she wants to devote another four years of time and effort. “Right now, it’s back to being a mom, driving the kids to ball, soccer and riding,” said Forrest. The fourth player on Canada’s squad was Darryl Neighbour of Richmond.

Kevin Balfour chips on to the green on hole two at the Vernon Golf and County Club Saturday. Balfour and his friends were enjoying the first day of spring at the course.
New office on drawing board RICHARD ROLKE
30th Avenue. “We have offices on three floors in one building and offices across the street,� said Nixon. “We’d like to have everyone under one roof.� The firm’s plans are just the latest move towards revitalization of the east end of 30th Avenue. Tolko Industries constructed an office across the street two years ago, and Okanagan Regional Library has announced plans for a branch there. “I like the proximity to the courthouse and the new library,� said Nixon. “We want to stay downtown. I’d like to see downtown remain as the hub of commercial activity.� On Monday, city council gave two readings to rezone the property from commercial to central business district. “It will augment the longevity of the downtown core and keep it vibrant,� said
Morning Star Staff
Another major development is taking shape at the east end of downtown Vernon. Nixon Wenger Lawyers hopes to start construction on a new office building at the corner of 30th Avenue and 28th Street in August or September. “We’re just coordinating our plans now,� said partner Paul Nixon Paul Nixon. It’s anticipated the building will be at least four storeys and there would be commercial space, including the Blenz coffee house which is currently on the site. Nixon Wenger has ran out of space at its present premises at the west end of
Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe of the proposed office building. City staff recommended the rezoning. “The proposed development of an office building will contribute to the retention and expansion of employment in the city centre,� said Dean Strachan, planning assistant, in a memo. Coun. Shawn Lee is pleased to see the interest business is showing in 30th Avenue. “That end of town is really getting a face lift. It’s exciting,� he said. As part of the development, the city has sold two lots on 28th Street to Nixon Wenger for $260,000. However, Nixon Wenger must dedicate up to 1,400-square-feet along 30th Avenue for road work, and specifically long-term plans for a 25th Avenue extension. A public hearing on Nixon Wenger’s rezoning application will be held April 12 at 5:30 p.m. at city hall.

A Vernon politician trying to whittle spending back couldn’t get his colleagues to change course. The city’s 2010 financial plan was adopted Monday, with only Coun. Bob Spiers opposed. “Every dollar counts,� he said of the potential impact on residents. With a 1.9 per cent residential tax increase, the budget will see a home assessed at $418,676 pay an additional $19.88 this year. “It’s $60 for a business person and at a time when business said it wanted zero, Bob Spiers I’m disappointed we couldn’t deliver,� said Spiers, adding that the city isn’t the only agency looking for more revenue. “The HST is going up, the carbon tax is going up and Hydro is going up. The regional district is going up one per cent.� The only change to the budget was not spending $13,000 on a new heating unit for the library because a unit has been salvaged from the old medical clinic building. However, that $13,000 will remain in the budget as part of a reserve for infrastructure. In fact, half of the overall 1.9 per cent tax increase will go towards dealing with capital upgrades like roads and sidewalks. “From the beginning we’ve been told there’s an infrastructure deficit,� said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “We need to build up reserves so we feel comfortable that we can address infrastructure issues as they come forward.� Coun. Shawn Lee also wanted the city to stick to its plan and not reopen the budget. “I don’t want to over-tax and spend wildly but we need to be careful,� he said. “If we get too tight with the budget, we could be in trouble.�

Clinic plans under review RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Money still exists for redevelopment of a downtown Vernon lot, but plans may be scaled back. Council voted Monday to keep $199,500 in the 2010 budget for the cityowned medical clinic property on 31st Avenue. But staff has been told to review potential uses there. “The option put forward by staff was for a full park but there’s been discussion from other groups about what could happen there,” said Mayor Wayne Lippert Wayne Lippert. The options could include everything from limited landscaping and some parking to a large park. “I’d like to go to the Chevy version of a little trail through there,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. “I find it (full park) unnecessary and a lot of the public at the budget hearing had problems with it.” However, others appear to be committed to the original concept that would eventually include a
playground, public washrooms and secure bike parking. “People want the city to be green and to do things downtown and without money, we can’t do that,” said Coun. Jack Gilroy. One of the goals behind the project has been to create a pedestrian link between Cenotaph Park and the civic complex. “I want to see a vibrant downtown,” said Coun. Mary-Jo O’Keefe. “I’d hate for us to take apart a plan until we’ve given it a chance to succeed.” There was some concern about what would happen on the property if no money was budgeted for landscaping. “I’d hate to see a waste land when that building comes down,” said Coun. Shawn Lee. Leon Gous, chief administrative officer, suggested that the money designated for park development could go towards demolition of the clinic instead of the city having to tap into reserves for that expense. Removal of the building is expected to cost about $507,000. The city purchased the medical clinic property for $1.4 million.
Finance minister speaks to chamber RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Questions surrounding the recession, government spending and taxes will be front and centre when one of B.C.’s senior politicians makes a stop Friday. Finance Minister Colin Hansen will speak to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce at the Best Western Vernon Lodge starting at 11 a.m. “The topic will be the provincial budget,” said Val Colin Hansen Trevis, chamber general manager. Trevis is anticipating a strong turnout as many of the decisions made by the government impact business directly. “It’s a great opportunity for business to get out and hear from the minister,” she said. “There will also be a question and answer period.” MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena, Hansen was

Dear Realtor Mike, The week after my aunt listed her house it sold. Now she is wondering why she paid a realtor when it took so little time!
Answer: Would your aunt have felt better had her home sat on the market for 4 months before it sold? Immediately after a home is listed the information is distributed to all of the area’s realtors.
These realtors then share this information with those clients who may be interested. The reason her home sold so quickly was that it was priced accurately and promoted immediately to thousands of potential buyers. Additionally, your aunt was spared all of the safety, legal, and time issues associated with selling it herself. She also benefits from the support of the realtor through the completion process.
re-appointed minister of finance and appointed deputy premier June 10, 2009. He has also served in the economic development and health portfolios. To reserve tickets for Hansen’s Vernon visit, go to www.ticketseller.ca or call 549-7469.
Tax News
from Dean Chapple at H&R Block Deciding if you have a dependant for tax purposes can be a complicated procedure. Basically a dependant of a taxpayer is someone who relies on you for support; this could include a spouse, child, parents, grandparents, or siblings. There are a number of credits available for dependants and each has its own criteria. If your spouse has no income, you can claim a spousal amount, a non-refundable credit of up to $10,320. This amount is also available for a child under 18 at some time in the tax year who normally resides with an individual who is separated, divorced, single or widowed. This claim can also be made for dependant children over 18 and mentally or physically infirm and can be used for a parent, grandparent, sister, brother etc. who normally resides with you and is either under 18 or infirm – (parents or grandparents do not have to be infirm.) As always, these claims are geared to net income of the dependant and only one dependant per household qualifies. For more information on dependants and tax credits/deductions, come in and see our tax specialists with your questions.

There is a legend that strawberries were named in the nineteenth-century by English children who picked the fruit, strung them on grass straws and sold them as “Straws of berries”. Another theory is the name was derived from the nineteenth-century practice of placing straw around the growing berry plants to protect the ripening fruit.

Councillor pans rate hike for farmers RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
A Vernon politician believes farmers have been hung out to dry over water rates. Coun. Buffy Baumbrough is questioning the North Okanagan Regional District increasing agricultural water fees by nine per cent for 2010. “The principles of the master water plan are that agricultural users would not have to pay for improvements to systems that only benefit domestic customers,” she said. The primary reason for the higher rate structure is to pay for the new Duteau Creek treatment plant debt and operation of the facility.
Greater Vernon agriculture users have stated the plan only benefits homes through improved water quality, and will do nothing for their specific needs of quantity and water pressure. “We’re not following the master water plan and the principles that were laid out,” said Baumbrough. The average flat rate for an agricultural customer is $212 per hectare a year. The nine per cent increase will raise that by $19 per hectare annually. Mayor Wayne Lippert, who is a NORD director, says the nine per cent hike for all utility customers is required because the budget was scaled back in 2006 and not enough revenue came in for infrastructure.
But Lippert insists the regional district board takes the agricultural sector’s concerns seriously. “The direction to staff was to find out what the true agricultural costs are and including the maintenance of the lines,” he said. “The agricultural rate they’ve been paying has been staying on track. This year with the nine per cent, they will be slightly over the scale. We need to support agriculture but the increase will be affecting residential customers far more.” Baumbrough believes commitments to farmers must be maintained. “I hope whatever the outcome of the number-crunching (by staff), we stick with the principles in the plan,” she said.

Public perception problem
T
here’s absolutely no question the Social Planning Council has helped lead Vernon out of the wilderness. Under the direction of the dynamic Annette Sharkey, the agency has been a driving force when it comes to tackling social issues that were ignored for years. Whether it’s the homeless, affordable housing or recreational programs for the disabled, the Social Planning Council has been there. Much of that success has come from being able to pull together diverse interests — whether it’s various levels of government, non-profits, businesses or the general public. And I believe that’s possible because Richard Rolke Social Planning isn’t tied to anyone. It hasn’t forced people on to the street by cutting funding or created inflexible policies. It’s not seen as a threat but a conduit for change. That’s why I am concerned about a plan that would see the Social Planning Council close its storefront premises and take over a desk in Vernon city hall. Even if Social Planning is simply the tenant of a free office, having a presence at city hall will create confusion among residents and other agencies. A lot of Sharkey’s time will have to be spent explaining that she isn’t a city employee. And while Sharkey is generally out in the community meeting with groups first hand, members of the public will come looking for her. Walking into city hall and having to deal

with the reception desk will just further that confusion. When the City of Vernon entered into a financial contract a few years ago for the Social Planning Council to pursue social matters, it was supposed to be at arm’s length. Obviously there was going to be a relationship between Social Planning and city staff on some issues, but the politicians of the day didn’t want a social planner under their roof as other municipalities had done. They felt that engaging a non-profit organization would be the best way to work with other groups and to access grants. Now apparently the thrust behind Social Planning moving into an office in city hall is because it’s looking for different ways to provide its services to the community. And certainly shaking things up could create new efficiencies and energy. But perhaps Social Planning should be trying to find a spare desk with a local nonprofit instead of government. If trying to raise $20,000 a year in rent for the storefront premise is a problem, maybe the city could cover some of that through its existing contract. Once again I want to clarify that I have been impressed by the efforts of Social Planning and specifically Sharkey. This community would be lost without her thoughtful and passionate actions. My concerns in no way question the integrity of the Social Planning Council. But public perception over independence could quickly become reality. I worry that a simple move into city hall will create public confusion and undo all of the significant strides that have been achieved.
Three North Okanagan residents have used the power of sport to overcome great challenges and become national role models. Congratulations must go to Vernon’s Josh Dueck and Sonja Gaudet, and Armstrong’s Ina Forrest, all of whom came home with hardware from the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver. Gaudet and Forrest helped the Canadian wheelchair curling squad win the gold medal with an exciting 8-7 win over Korea in Saturday’s final. On the first weekend of the Games, Dueck won a silver medal in slalom sit skiing. All three athletes have lost the use of their legs through different accidents. The trio could have easily given up on life and sat daily slumped in their wheelchairs, asking “Why me? Why did this happen to me?” And while all three may have asked the question at one point in the aftermaths of their accidents, all three used sports to overcome their adversities. Gaudet is now a two-time Paralympics gold medalist. Forrest, a Paralympics rookie, has competed at three world championship tournaments. And Dueck is the 2009 World Cup sit skiing downhill champion, an event he placed fifth in at the Paralympics. You won’t find the word quit in the vocabulary of the three Paralympians. All three have earned not only the respect and admiration of the province and the country, they have also earned a well-deserved rest. It’s time for them to get reacquainted with family and loved ones who have supported them in their dreams. After the rest, they can append their resumés by adding the words “role model” to it.

Water deserves protection
I
n Canada, British Columbia, and in the local Okanagan region, we are blessed with beautiful lakes, rivers, streams, and mountain watersheds. However, we are also a society that accepts indulgence – when do we stop to think about the price tag? I really hope that people take the water restrictions seriously this summer. There seems to be little understanding about the actual state of our water supply. Mild winters, little snow pack, and lack of rain point to low water reservoirs. The value of our water sources is constantly taken for granted, in the name of cosmetics, recreation, industry, or simple ignorance. We need to wake up and realize that clean drinking water is a privilege we cannot afford to take for granted. Take for instance, the Antwerp Springs Water Quality Advisory that was implemented recently. Look at what a shock to the com-
munity it was to be without safe water for the time period it took for the Antwerp Water source to be disinfected. It should not come as any surprise that the Okanagan people are concerned for the Brown’s Creek watershed; this should not be seen as an “Aboriginal vs. Industry” political malignance, but an earnest effort to protect an invaluable resource. Incidentally, this effort to protect is a part of an historical
INTERIOR HEALTH AUTHORITY The actions of this infamous health authority are akin to that of a farmer in his henhouse...chop... next...chop...next...chop...next and so on. When are we residents of B.C. going to say enough is enough? While we are sitting idly by this authority is continually making cuts that affect each and every one of us. The health care in B.C. is not the best in the world, as they would have us believe by their propaganda. Anyone waiting for elective surgery... forget it...just grab your cane or your walker and hobble down to the corner drug store and get a doit-yourself kit because that is the only option you have left. As a senior with some physical problems, I have been fortunate in having the opportunity to take part in the EAST program being offered at Gateby. This means that seniors who are experiencing some physical problems (arthritis, fractured hip, knee or hip replacement, etc.) are guided through exercises by a wonderful physiotherapist and his staff to learn to regain our balance and stability and build up muscle strength. You attend twice weekly for a 12-week period and if your doctor requests you require another 12 weeks, you are able to do so.
obligation carried by indigenous people to protect their land and resources, not only for now, but for seven generations to come. People in general need to become more informed, and be prepared to do more to conserve and protect their water. We only have so much to go around and in times of near drought conditions, we need to step up our game. People need to stop worrying about having the greenest lawn or
At least that's the way it was until recently. We were presented with a letter from the Interior Health Authority advising that as of March 8 the program is being cut so you can no longer exceed the 12 weeks Some of those attending have required more than 12 weeks to regain their strength and muscle stability. Along with cutting this program, there are other changes being made and of course with these changes, some staff have found themselves on the chopping block as well. When B.C. voted to allow gaming, it was on the pretext that the funds would be going to health and sports...yeah, sure...going into general revenue...of course. This government has lost all sense of reality in cutting back health and education. We have a new expensive tower being built at VJH for acute care. Even with what little wisdom I possess, I question why they would cut programs like the EAST program that would help prevent seniors from falling and doing serious injury and ending up in the acute care facility. What about the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Interior Health Authority is a fitting title for this group. The definition of the word authority is power
the cleanest, shiniest car and conserve our water. We need to think twice before buying that new boat, considering it “our right” to summer recreation – exactly how much pollution can our lakes maintain? Where do you get your drinking water and where do you point the blame if this water is polluted, contaminated, ill-protected or diminished? I think everyone needs to individually, and collectively take responsibility to protect our fragile and invaluable water systems and if this is an inconvenience, compare it to the inconvenience of not having access to safe, clean water. It is not too late to become a steward for our water. I encourage you to raise your awareness about this priceless resource: think about it, talk about it, do something about it! Dawn Dunstan

He was stopped by police on a suspicion about an asphalt scam. He ended up arrested for drugs. Vernon RCMP took a 30-year-old man into custody Friday night after the individual was found to have drugs on his possession.
“At about 8:45 p.m., we were contacted about a group of suspicious males in a black vehicle attempting to sell asphalt services,� said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “Our plain clothes officers investigated and found a male in the area of 32nd Avenue and 15th Avenue. He
began to get very nervous when our officers were talking to him.� Upon inspection, the man was found to have a quantity of marijuana and a half-dozen packages of suspected heroin for sale on the street. The suspect was taken into custody, then later released on a promise to appear in Vernon
Teen resists help attempt Morning Star Staff
Enderby RCMP say their efforts to help an injured teen at a local home were hampered by house guests and the teen himself. Three members attended a home on Lawes Road shortly before 1 a.m. March 17 following reports of a 15-year-old Vernon youth who injured himself when his arm went through a window. B.C. Ambulance Service was called to attend and treat the injured teen. Police on the scene said they were hampered in assisting the youth by other young people in the residence that had been drinking and were quite obstructive in their demeanor. Enderby RCMP said their efforts were directed at restraining and having the injured teen removed for care.
A constable took the boy to Shuswap Lake General Hospital, and the boy’s parents were advised of the situation. Once at the hospital’s emergency department, police say Salmon Arm RCMP colleagues had to assist Enderby members, ambulance and hospital staff after the youth became violent, and was causing an extreme disturbance while being treated. The youth had to be sedated, according to RCMP, and restrained for medical treatment. Once he was attended to, the hospital released the boy back into the custody of Enderby RCMP, who arrested him for this behavior and transported him to a cell at Vernon detachment. He was later released from custody with no charges being laid.
Provincial Court next month on possession for the purpose of trafficking charges. As for the door-todoor asphalt salesmen, who were offering their services for cash up front, Molendyk believes it’s a scam. “People should
beware of these individuals who come knocking on your door offering all kinds of services,� said Molendyk. “You should be a little bit cautious of that. Paying money up front is generally not the way a lot of contractors work.�

District chips in academy cash BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
An RCMP youth camp is getting backing from the district of Coldstream but not as much as it was hoping for. Insp. Reg Burgess appealed to council for $1,000 to help run the Jean Minguy Memorial RCMP Youth Academy. Council later granted $500 for the camp, citing the small surplus in discretionary funds and the fact Coldstream is a much smaller municipality than Vernon, which has also been asked for $1,000. “We run a one-week cadet camp,” said Burgess. “It’s a service we provide and I’m hoping mayor and council consider support for this.” Burgess has been asking other Okanagan communities for similar contributions. The academy partners with school districts and accepts about 40 applicants from throughout the Okanagan each year. “A thousand dollars from Vernon and Coldstream
Alliance wants dispute settled Morning Star Staff
Okanagan First Nations are urging senior levels of government to resolve an ongoing logging dispute. Members of the Okanagan Nation Alliance held a recent conference call with provincial government officials to discuss the Browns Creek conflict. “The province now seems to be taking the matter seriously and that greatly increases the chances of this matter being peacefully resolved,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip. It was also discussed that the federal government needs to become involved in the matter. “And these discussions should be held on a face to face basis rather than on a teleconference,” said Fabian Alexis, Okanagan Indian Band chief. The band established a camp at Browns Creek in October to gather archeological evidence and prevent Tolko from logging. A judge ruled in January that the band can’t interfere with harvesting. But the camp was reestablished in February because of concerns logging may negatively impact the community’s watershed. A judge has ruled the protest must be removed. “If the province’s efforts are genuine, and at this point I think they are, then there is an
excellent chance of this matter being resolved such that all parties are satisfied and the Browns Creek watershed and the drinking water it supplies are finally properly protected,” said Phillip.
doesn’t seem to balance,” said Coun. Pat Cochrane. “I’d move in the future for it to be based on per capita.” Burgess was hoping to secure yearly funding but council prefers the RCMP go through an annual application process. The camp runs May 2 to 8 this year and simulates RCMP depot life. Cadets spend the week at Vernon army camp and are instructed in law, self defence, police tactics and are exposed to team building, discipline, respect and tolerance training.

School embraces fire safety Morning Star Staff
Cherryville Elementary students have shown their enthusiasm for fire safety. North Okanagan Regional District staff recently did presentations for the kindergarten and Grade 1 class on fire safety and what to do during an emergency. “This school is a priority since it is outside of fire protection which makes it even more important to make families aware and plan for their safety,” said Michael Navratil, protective services coordinator. As part of the program, every stu-

dent had to create a home escape plan to get a Be Fire Safe T-shirt. “The results were excellent,” said Navratil. This was the second time Navratil had done a presentation to the school and he was pleased with how the students had retained information from the first session. “My first visit was somewhat disturbing, seeing the lack of fire safety knowledge,” he said. “However, it was the start of a very rewarding program that even after only a second round of fire safety education is showing its rewards.”

Earth Hour shines worldwide Morning Star Staff
B.C. Hydro is encouraging North Okanagan residents to join hundreds of millions of people around the world by turning off their lights Saturday from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. to mark Earth Hour 2010. Earth Hour, an annual global event hosted by the WWF and sponsored provincially by B.C. Hydro, encourages individuals to show their support for the fight against climate change by turning off unnecessary lights and electronics. “British Columbia is known as a leader in North America in conservation and Earth Hour provides the perfect opportunity to showcase our leadership to the entire world,” said Blair Lekstrom, minister of energy. “I strongly urge British Columbians to reduce their electricity use during Earth Hour and to commit to adopting these behaviours year-round.” Last year, Vernon residents reduced their electricity consumption during Earth Hour by 0.9 per cent. The overall reduction in the provincial electricity load was 1.1 per cent. B.C. Hydro estimates that if everyone who participated in Earth Hour last year did the same thing for an hour everyday, the combined savings would be enough to power 2,400 homes for an entire year. “We are working to build a conservation culture in B.C. where conservation happens naturally and is integrated into everything we do collectively and
as individuals,” said Bev Van Ruvyen, acting B.C. Hydro president. Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, as a onecity initiative in 2007 and has grown to become a global phenomenon. In 2009, more than 4,000 cities and towns in 88 countries signed up to participate, including 84 communities in British Columbia. British Columbians can pledge their support for Earth Hour at www.EarthHourCanada.org. Conservation tips for the home and office can be found at www.bchydro.com.

Commission reeling in salmon
I
have received a number of e-mails from constituents concerned with the sharp decline in the number of sockeye salmon spawning in the rivers of our province. The minister of fisheries and oceans has appointed Judge Cohen to lead a commission which has a mandate to determine where the sockeye salmon have gone. The Government of Canada is also deferring the negotiations of fisheries components at treaty tables in B.C. that involve salmon, pending the findings and recommendations of the commission of inquiry into the decline of sockeye salmon in the Fraser River. Conservationists have pointed fingers at the fishing practices on the west coast as a reason for the decline of sockeye stocks. Environmentalists have laid blame on the fish farming expansion on the west coast, as well as global warming for the decline. Some have pointed to
the receiving spawning streams and blamed development for the decline in sockeye salmon stocks. All these issues need to be examined and based on sound science recommendations and forwarded to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and minister Gail Shea. Both provincial and federal governments do have regulations to protect fish and fish habitat and they do enforce those regulations. The issue might not mean more regulation but better management of the resource. Twenty-five years ago I was a placer miner in the Klondike gold fields. Our operation was one of the first to settle the sediment from our mine waste water. This was done voluntarily to ensure clean water was discharged into the receiving streams to protect salmon and salmon spawning habitat as well

College seeks new board members Morning Star Staff
Interest is being sought from individuals who may want to serve on the Okanagan College board of governors. There are two anticipated vacancies that will open in July 2010. The board oversees the affairs of the college, sets the standards of organizational conduct and supervises the president, who is responsible for the dayto-day operations of the institution, which has an $82.8-million budget. While the institution and the provincial government (which appoints individuals to the board) are seeking expertise in several specific areas, candidates from all backgrounds and from all communities served by the college are encouraged to apply.

On the other hand, there were people that wanted to shut the mining Colin Mayes down completely and wanted government to set sediment regulations that were unattainable. A commission was set up to review the issue and set water discharge standards.
tion about the board positions, call 250-7625445, ext. 4712.
After the commission listened to many polarizing views the minister of fisheries and oceans of the day brought political direction to the commission and regulations were forwarded that accomplished certainty for the placer mining industry as well as sound protection for the salmon and salmon habitat. I am confident that reason will prevail and the findings of Judge Cohen and the Commission will provide guidance for sound public policy for the protection of our sockeye salmon stocks and determine why the stocks have depleted in the past decade.

Happy birthday OSO
KRISTIN FRONEMAN Morning Star Staff
It’s been 50 years since Willem Bertsch waved the baton for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra’s first performance. Since then conductors, musicians, audiences and funding have come and gone. What remains is one of the valley’s truest purveyors of classical and contemporary music, where Bach is played alongside a piece by a burgeoning composer, where a young talent can learn from a seasoned mentor, where musicians of all stripes can play at a professional level, and guests of the highest standard are always welcome. It’s an orchestra we can call our own. Principle clarinetist Doug Sonju, a 40-year veteran with the OSO, has observed the highs and lows –– mostly due to dwindling funds –– of operating a professional symphony. “A decade ago, we had over 90 services a year, now we’re at about 55. It takes no time to knock the stuffing out of an orchestra, but I feel we’ve been growing again with Rosemary Thomson as our conductor,” said Sonju. “She has a good way of communicating with audiences, brings various musicians into the program with guest artists and reaches out to youth groups. It’s not only a great experience for young people to play with the orchestra, but they bring their parents and friends, and we hope it carries over.” Sonju was a new arrival from Seattle in 1970 when he joined the symphony as its principle clarinetist. Primarily a saxophone player, Sonju, who still plays the sax in local jazz and R&B bands, picked up the clarinet while in college five years before moving to Armstrong to teach band in the city’s old junior high school. “I remember someone telling me about the symphony, and I was like ‘You have a symphony here?’” Sonju decided to attend a rehearsal and introduce himself (back when the OSO rehearsed every Sunday) to then conductor Leonard Camplin (who led the symphony from 1964 until 1996.) “I think they were in their second or third rehearsal, and he told me they didn’t have a principle clarinet player. Those were the days when the only paid members of the orchestra were the concertmaster and the conductor,” said Sonju. After the clarinetist joined, the orchestra

The strings section grew with principle cellist George Kiraly, who joined in 1974 and still splits his time between Vernon and Merritt. Armstrong’s Denis Letourneau, the symphony’s long-serving concertmaster and principle first violinist, joined in 1976. And Latvian-born Coldstream resident Imant Raminsh joined as principle second violinist in 1977, also continuing his successful career as a world-renowned choral composer. The same year, principle flutist and Vernon resident Margaret Burton was hired (joining her husband Walt Burton, who has been the OSO’s principle oboist as well as a horn player since 1970.) “They kept adding string players and then Margaret joined,” said Sonju. “I took Leonard out for lunch and said, ‘I’ve done seven years, what about paying me?’ He said, ‘OK.’” The music has also been an integral part of the OSO’s history, and over the years, repertoire has challenged, frustrated and delighted both players and audiences. Prior to Thomson joining the OSO in 2007, the symphony was led by Douglas Sanford, who had both his proponents and detractors for his no holds barred style. Letourneau remembers the Sanford years well, mostly for the challenging music that was presented to the performers under his baton. “One of my greatest memories is during a wonderful little violin solo within the Symphony #5 by Dimitri Shostakovich.
Doug was particularly happy with how I played it and another rather sinuous chromatic bit as well,” said Letourneau. “I think that the orchestra grew artistically under Doug particularly while performing a number of works by Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven. During that period of time, the OSO was stretched and moulded, not always with clear success but often with daring and risk taking. “We learned to play better as an ensemble because we had to. The repertoire was super challenging as were the expectations for artistic reaching during performance. The results were not always stellar, yet some moments were ‘Wow, did you hear and feel that?’ and we were growing, of this there is no doubt in my mind.” Sonju, who since joining the symphony has played all of Beethoven’s symphonies, as well as three of Brahms’, can also relate to some of the more challenging repertoire, and says quite often it’s the modern pieces that stick in people’s minds. “I remember receiving the music to (Michael Colgrass’) The Schubert Birds and thinking ‘This is unplayable.’ We went to work on it, and eventually got it under our fingers. It was difficult technically to get it together with the short rehearsal time we had, but surprisingly, we got a lot of good feedback on it.” The symphony hopes to receive the same feedback for its birthday celebration, which makes its way to Penticton, Kelowna, and the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Saturday.
To mark this momentous occasion, the symphony is re-creating the very first concert it ever performed, in February and March of 1960. The program includes Gershwin’s muchloved Rhapsody in Blue to be conducted by guest artist Rolf Bertsch, son of founding conductor, Willem Bertsch. An accomplished pianist, Rolf is conductor of the Calgary Civic Orchestra, and will also conduct the OSO in Beethoven’s Turkish March from The Ruins of Athens. Conductor laureate Camplin will lead the OSO in Haydn’s Surprise Symphony and Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze, where former players of the symphony will be invited on stage to perform. They will also join the orchestra in Tchaikovsky’s Waltz from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet. Sanford, who was the OSO’s conductor from 1997 until 2005, was invited back to conduct a section of the birthday show, but is unable to join in the celebration. Instead Thomson will lead the balance of the concert, and musicians and audiences are all invited to stay on after to enjoy birthday cake and reminisce. The performance begins at 7 p.m. No pre-concert lecture will be given, however, Thomson will host Afterthoughts, where former conductors and musicians will share some musical memories. Tickets for Happy Birthday OSO are available at the Ticket Seller in the Performing Arts Centre. Call 549-7469 or order online at www. ticketseller.ca.

Blues brothers top Our Kids FREE CHEESECAKES! KRISTIN FRONEMAN
Morning Star Staff
They came to Vernon with high hopes –– two brothers armed with guitars and musical talent that belie their years on this planet. And now just about everyone around the Okanagan, and B.C. for that matter, should remember the names Sam and Luke. The Remedios brothers, who go by their first names on stage, came ready to rock the finals of the Our Kids Have Talent competition. And that’s exactly what they did at the Vernon Recreation Complex auditorium Saturday when they were announced the winners, taking home the grand prize of $5,000 plus the opportunity to return to Vernon and play this summer’s Rarearth Music Festival. “We were utterly speechless,” said Sam, 18, who with his brother Luke, 15, sang and alternated playing lead and rhythm guitar to Santana’s Black Magic Woman at the event. “Music is our life, and having been acknowledged by Vernon’s expert panel of industry judges, we feel we’ve been given the validation we need to continue along our musical journey.” Drawing from influences such as Jimi

Sam and Luke Remedios rock to a crowd of more than 600 spectators at the Our Kids Have Talent competition, Saturday at the Vernon Recreation Complex. Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer and others, these blues brothers plan to use their winnings in the recording studio. “The prize money will be put towards our upcoming songwriting trip to Nashville, where we’ll be working on new material to perform at Rarearth in August,” said Sam. Out of the 10 finalists who played live in front of the 650-member audience, including volunteers children and the judges, duo Tangelo, featuring locals Kailee Duggan and Ryan Breitkreutz, were named best overall musicians of the night, and took home the second place prize of $2,000, while Fulton Secondary’s Mica Lemiski placed third, earning her $1,000.
Also receiving recognition were Peter McKillop for best overall marketer, who received a $1,000 website courtesy of Chuck Nelson of Outta Bound Artworks, Brandon Schmor for best overall performance, who received $350 from Jeff Wuolle of the Cracked Pot Emporium, and Black & White, featuring Shane Strom, Nick Everett and Neil Baird, who received best stage presence, sponsored by Andy Raeber of Century 21. They were presented with Back to Earth Enviro Products by Kiley Routley. “I wish there could be 10 first place winners. Each and every one of these amazing musicians are so beyond talented it was mind boggling,” said organizer Kath Raeber. “I and many
others commented a number of times, ‘I’m so glad I’m not a judge.’ It’s an impossible task, but thanks to Betty Anne Northup, Linc Belardo and Craig Carmody, they got the job done.” Raeber also thanks the countless volunteers and sponsors who helped with the event. Locals can next catch all the auditioners when they take Stage Right at the Rarearth festival, scheduled for Aug. 6 to 8 at Kin Race Track.

Director embraces ‘50s film noir JIM ELDERTON Vernon Film Society
Penélope Cruz stars in Broken Embraces, the latest movie by Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar (their fourth film together). Shot in the film noir style of 1950s’ America, the complex plot contains a film within a film. Back in 1994, master director Mateo Blanco (Lluis Homar) had abandoned his disastrous movie Girls and Suitcases. But we first see him in 2008. Now a blind screenwriter, who lost his sight in a car accident, he answers only to his screenwriter pseudonym Harry Caine. (That very English name is an indication of the real director Almodovar’s playful undercurrents that permeate his films.) Harry lives in Madrid, attended by his solicitous ex-production manager Judit and her adult son, Diego. Since he has decided to make a living with fictional stories, his life has evolved through irony and self-induced amnesia: he’s erased from his biography any trace of his first identity. This romantic mystery-melodrama shifts back and forth between the 1990s and the present day, as it reveals how Mateo/Harry became blind. Slowly, events in the present bring back memories of the past. Harry hears that millionaire Ernesto Martel has died. A young filmmaker, Ray X, appears and turns out to be Ernesto’s son. Then Diego is hospitalized after an acci-
dental drug overdose in a Madrid nightclub. His mother, Judit, is out of Madrid, and Harry collects him from the hospital and looks after him to avoid worrying his mother. But during his convalescence, Diego asks Harry about the time when he answered to the name of Mateo. After a moment of astonishment Harry can’t refuse, and he tells Diego what happened 14 years before. He opens up about his previous life as Mateo and the making of the ill-fated movie Girls and Suitcases. Much of the main storyline is told in flashback as Harry narrates a sordid tale of fate, jealousy, abuse of power, betrayal and guilt, involving a powerful financier, his young mistress and his resentful gay son. The first flashback is to 1992, when we first meet Magdalena (Penelope Cruz), better known as Lena, a gorgeous young actress but of doubtful talent, and part-time call girl. In order to make money to help her sick father she
is involved with Ernesto, a wealthy Chilean industrialist, and becomes his mistress. At this time, “Harry” is still living under his real name, Mateo Blanco, and is working as a successful film director. His financier (and therefore producer) is Ernesto, who not only bankrolls the upcoming film, but arranges for Lena to get the starring role. Lena falls for the handsome director. Ernesto is soon suspicious of their relationship and hires his gay, nerdy teenaged son to shoot the “making-of” documentary. And he hires a lipreader to interpret any soundless conversations on the movie set. But despite his precautions, Lena and Mateo begin a passionate affair. Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail reported: “The film is a kind of tribute to the Hollywood Technicolor potboilers of the 1950s, with lush visuals and a convoluted plot that takes place in two time periods.” Anyone familiar with Almodovar’s work will recognise Harry’s fic-

Dueck big on Games GRANT GRANGER
Black Press
WHISTLER MOUNTAIN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As is his nature, Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Dueck went at the slalom course in the second half of the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games super combined-sitting alpine ski event Saturday afternoon aggressively. Since he was more than three seconds away from a medal position following the super-G run in the morning, Dueck knew he had to go hard on the course. But as he did, he clipped a gate, knocking him slightly off course. But, as is also his nature, even though he knew his medal hope was done, he still righted his sled, inched his way around the gate and resumed the run to finish 13th, although he was later disqualified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a rough run, but I just chose to challenge it a bit more because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the greatest success in the super-G,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you push it like that sometimes it works out in your favour and sometimes, like today, not so much.â&#x20AC;? The mishap didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t diminish Dueckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing at the Games, which he termed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;multi-climactic,â&#x20AC;? since he won a silver in the slalom the previous Saturday, was 13th in the super-G and fifth in the downhill, an event in which he was the 2009 world champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning the silver medal in slalom was a big boost for me, and it was exciting to hit that target that early in the Games,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck, 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping for a little more out of the downhill, but that downhill course was no more than a game of probability. It was pretty rough in some spots. Some guys

Canada's Josh Dueck completes his Super G run in the men's Super Combined sit ski event at Whistler Creekside during the 2010 Paralympic Games on Saturday. that challenged the hill didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it down and some did. I was right in the middle.â&#x20AC;? In March 2004, Dueck was a high performance freestyle skier when he suffered a spinal injury trying to land a jump. Although Dueck was paralyzed, the emergency room doctor gave him hope by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to rock the world in a wheelchair and be back on the mountain riding a sit ski before you know it.â&#x20AC;? Dueck has said the docâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a profound experienceâ&#x20AC;? that gave him a sense of direction to focus on his abilities and not his disability. Since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been sit skiing for just four years, he figures he can go on to even bigger and better things on the Paralympic circuit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here is pretty awesome, the fact I medaled
here is even cooler, and most of the guys Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m competing against have been doing it for a long time, 10 or 15 years, and if I want to get that kind of consistency in my racing and bring my game up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to stick with it for a few more,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My intention is to be a full-time skier as long as I can make it and right now ski racing is the best avenue for me.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also keep going full blast with another of his passions, back country skiing. Dueck loves to get up into remote mountain areas to heli-ski and cat-ski because he still calls himself a freestyle skier at heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely like that approach to the mountain,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck who is grateful to the support Vernon has given him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meant everything. Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement has really brought me to this point,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck.

He will start his pro career with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey Aaron Volpatti League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw it coming for a while,â&#x20AC;? said Volpatti, in a phone interview from Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking to quite a few teams and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty crazy I landed in Vancouver. It feels awesome and kind of surreal.â&#x20AC;? Volpatti, a 6-foot-1, 203-pound smash-
mouth winger who took on heavyweights like Milan Lucic during his B.C. Hockey League days, finished his senior year in Providence, R.I. with 17 goals, 32 points and 115 penalty minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came down to eight teams at the wire,â&#x20AC;? said Volpatti, represented by Boston-based Peter Cooney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was talking to Nashville, Edmonton, New York Rangers and Boston. It started back in November.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had the desire to play pro hockey and I had a great year offensively which I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually have. The new coaches let us play a more offensive style and play down low more which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been pretty good at.â&#x20AC;? A Third-Team All-ECAC selection and Second-Team All-Ivy honoree, Volpatti collected 32 goals, 62 points and 236 penalty minutes at Brown. He led the Bears with 17 goals, six power play goals, and three game-winning goals, and was second on the team with two shorthanded goals, while posting a team-

high plus-5 rating this season. Prior to joining the Bears, Volpatti played for the Vipers from 2003-06. He earned 37 points and 279 penalty minutes in 137 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a strong, physical player cut from the same mold as Tanner Glass,â&#x20AC;? Canuck assistant GM Laurence Gilman told The Vancouver Sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fair comparison,â&#x20AC;? said Volpatti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My coach, Brendan Whittet, actually coached Glass at Dartmouth.â&#x20AC;? Volpatti said he has been flooded with phone calls, texts and Facebook wishes from family and friends, especially in his hometown Revelstoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All my buddies and my parents think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just crazy I signed with Vancouver. We won the ECAC consolation game Saturday and then I signed the contract so it all happened fast.â&#x20AC;? Two of the first people Volpatti called in Vernon were Brian and Brenda DeBoice, his Viper billets.

Troy Mick, who was GM of the Vipers during Volpattiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final year in Vernon, is now coach of the Revelstoke Grizzlies, where Volpatti spent one year of junior B. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier for Aaron,â&#x20AC;? said Mick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of my top-5 committed athletes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so driven and so focused. His worth ethic is second to none and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a fierce competitor.â&#x20AC;? Mick said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have blamed Volpatti for leaving the game after he suffered second- and third-degree burns on 40 per cent of his body in a bonfire accident during a team party in April, 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could have packed it in. He has overcome adversity and his hard work has paid off. He skated with my guys at Christmas, and in between shifts playing four-on-four, he would skate lines.â&#x20AC;?

Snakes surge in overtime GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Vipers knew the Penticton Vees would redouble their efforts after their dismal performance in Game 1 of their best-of-seven B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference finals. But they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flinch, even when Veesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defenceman Bo Dolan pegged Penticton to an early lead with a point shot through traffic in Game 2 Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. Instead, the Vipers turned to their relentless forecheck, plugging up the Veesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; zone and wearing down their defenders. Proving that the series opener was more an aberration than anything, the two talented teams needed overtime, with veteran Robbie Short pocketing the winner as the Vipers clipped Penticton 3-2 before 1,850 fans. The Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jonathan Milhouse orchestrated the play, making a clever chip pass to send Short in behind Pentictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence, after which the stocky Vernon product beat netminder Sean Bonar with a quick shot, blocker side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got smaller defencemen than our forwards, so the more we get it down low and work their defencemen, the more tired theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get,â&#x20AC;? said Short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew they were going to come out hard tonight. We knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to win all those battles against the boards and get lots of shots on Bonar. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing lots in playoffs.â&#x20AC;? Penticton agitator Garrett Milan liked the Veesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effort Saturday, but knows it will be desperation time as the series heads to Penticton. Game 3 went Tuesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. Game 4 is tonight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed this game to come back and show we could play with these guys and we did a great job from start to finish in this game,â&#x20AC;? said Milan, who got his 150-pound frame in front of netminder Graeme Gordon to screen Dolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal.
CORY BIALECKI/MORNING STAR
Vipers' netminder Graeme Gordon executes a textbook pokecheck on the Vees' Logan Johnston during Game 2 of the BCHL Interior Conference final Saturday night at Wesbild Centre. The Vipers won 3-2 in overtime to go up 2-0 in their best-of-seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just need to regroup over the next few days and focus on what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? Vipersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; assistant coach Jason Williamson says the game-plan for Saturday was pretty straightforward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; play simple, get pucks deep, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t panic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yah, they were better but we were still pretty good tonight. We just had to wait for our opportunities. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pretty veteran bunch and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to panic too much,â&#x20AC;? he said, crediting the Viper point men for getting pucks through to the net. Both netminders were sharp in Game 3, with Bonar collecting third star with a 33-save showing. While not as busy, Gordon, who earned BCHL Player of the Week honours for posting three straight shutouts, looked focussed in facing 20 Penticton shots. The recently reunited line of Sahir Gill and twins Connor and Kellen Jones accounted for the rest of Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence. Gill put Vernon on the board midway through the first period, finishing a gorgeous three-way passing play that could have come from EA Sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NHL 10 video game. Gillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit on Andrew Pickering in the corner was the catalyst for the other
goal, as Kellen scooped up the loose puck, wheeled behind Pentictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net and spotted Connor in the slot for a onetimer later in the period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since we played together... it does take a little while but we had some good success tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Gill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game 1 went perfectly according to game-plan. We know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of pride over there and that they were going to come out hard and compete for those battles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we did a pretty good job of staying consistent over 60 minutes.â&#x20AC;? The Vees responded 39 seconds into the second period as Derik Johnson onetimed a quick feed from Eric Filiou to silence the Wesbild crowd. Said Veesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Fred Harbinson: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were embarrassed last night (6-0 loss in Game 1), but I thought we showed a lot more tonight. We were one shot away from getting the series 1-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been good on home ice as well, and the boys will be ready to get after it and even the series.â&#x20AC;? Harbinson noted the loss of key blueliners Ben Sexton and Matt Paltridge has hampered Pentictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need these next few days to try to get healthy. Our depth has been hurting us a bit in the playoffs here and we need to find a way to get guys back in the lineup.â&#x20AC;?

Orphans ice Preds Morning Star Staff
Don’t be calling Murray Vetsch a fossil just yet. The crafty veteran is not quite ready for the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. Vetsch, who played Pong video games as a kid, pulled the hat trick as the R.E. Postill & Sons Orphans stunned the Godard Excavating Predators 5-2 Sunday night at Priest Valley Arena. The Orphans move to the best-of-three Interior Hockey League championship series against the Westwood Cabinets Flyers. Game 1 goes Wednesday night (9:00) at Wesbild Centre. Vetsch opened the scoring by converting a cross-crease feed from Chris Bradford. He netted the winner by going high, glove side on Brennon Jones after taking a pass from Rob Bauml, and completed his trick by deflecting a Joe Dolling shot to make it 4-2 with 5:34 remaining. Dolling, who anchors the Orphans’ defence, finished with 1+2, while Grady Gare put the Orphans up 2-0 three minutes into the game. Bradford also bagged a pair of helpers. Jason Silzer turned in an
outstanding 40-save showing for the ninth-place Orphans (14-13-0-3), who finished 14 points back of the second-place Predators. Derrek Martin and Cody Keller replied for the Predators, who got 25 saves from Jones. The Orphans took three minor penalties and the Predators one. The Predators ambushed the first-place Teale Utility Canucks (28-2) 9-4 Saturday night at PV to reach the semifinal. Curtis Gobbett pocketed 2+2 and Ryan Black added 2+1 for the Predators, who exploded for six third-period goals after the teams skated to a 3-3 tie at the break. Adam Barker collected 1+3, while Danny Stein, Justin Horochuk, Geoff Bevan and Martin had singles. Matt Litzenberger and Logan Stockley each netted two helpers. Jones recorded 23 saves. The Canucks, without highscoring Jason Elders and Darcy Quiring, got goals from Rob Killingbeck, Ryan Austring, Mike Burke and Tyler Quiring. Troy Killingbeck had two assists. Steven Clarke made 40 saves.

Rockets trail ‘Tips 2-0 KEVIN PARNELL Black Press
Having won their last four regular-season home games at Prospera Place, the Kelowna Rockets are hoping to continue that trend this week as the Rockets and Everett Silvertips resume their Western Hockey League playoff series in Kelowna. Kelowna and Everett played Game 3 Tuesday night and will hit the ice again Wednesday in the best-of-seven series, with Everett having won its two home games on the weekend. Check Rockets Central at www.kelownacapnews.com for results from Tuesday’s game and the latest on the WHL playoffs. Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said his team has been good at home, especially down the stretch. “Over the last little while, and at the end of the regular season we were just playing better at home,” said Huska. “That’s something we have to use to our advantage. When you get a few good shifts the crowd gets involved and you can get momentum from that.”

Rocket Stars fall to Wildfire Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Rocket Stars bowed 9-1 and 8-2 to the Salmon Arm Wildfire in a weekend home and home women’s hockey series. Salmon Arm started off strong Saturday night at Priest Valley Arena, taking advantage of a short Stars bench. Veteran Karen Benn scored on a solo effort for the Rocket Stars, whipping a quick shot top shelf over the Wildfire goalie’s shoulder. Despite a great offensive effort by Cheralyn Kelly, Andrea Southam and Tracey Barrie, and
due to depleted manpower, the Stars couldn’t overcome the Wildfire picking apart the corners around rookie net detective Colleen Nerbus. Playing again with a short bench Sunday at Sunwave Centre, the Stars really pulled together as a team to try and smother the Fire. The Wildfire once again came out flying, but the Stars kept it at 2-1 for most of the first period. Benn scored the first goal for the radio crew, sneaking one along the ice just past the toe of the Wildfire goalie.
A quick break brought the Stars out with renewed energy, but it wasn’t enough. Barrie scored the second goal (her first of the year), on a rebound from pick-up Lisa Ashton. Vernon got strong defensive efforts from Tori Haller, Sue Barrs and Jennifer Douglas with Conni Hayward outstanding between the pipes. Next up for the Rocket Stars is the Checkers Tournament starting Friday. It will be a derby tilt Saturday night (8 p.m.) as the Stars face the Vernon Vixens at the Wesbild Centre.
‘99 All-Stars brush off Selects 4-3 Morning Star Staff
The Silver Star Vernon ‘99 All-Stars clipped West Kelowna Okanagan Selects 4-3 Sunday in spring rep hockey action at Civic Arena. Riley Swiscoski reminded the opposition early of the full-contact rules with a heavy hit. Soon after, Kyle Sherwood and Dean Whitcomb assisted on the team’s first goal by Reed Cashato. The All-Stars pulled ahead by two on Connor Johnston’s wrister from Liam Hennig and Reece Schroeder. Swiscoski then tapped in from Sherwood before the
Selects equalized. Whitcomb earned the winner late in the third period, assisted from Swiscowski and Schroeder. Vernon goalies Conor Webb and Ethan Huizinga made 21 saves. The Bannister Chev Olds Heat went 1-2-2 in the Winfield Bruins Atom House Tournament. Game MVP Alex Laurila scored twice, while Landon Currie and Nick Mitchell, with the late equalizer, added singles as the Heat tied the Chase Development Warriors 4-4 Sunday morning. In Saturday action, the Heat iced the Bruins 8-2, tied the Mission
Wolverines 2-2 and bowed 2-0 to the Salmon Arm Gladiators. Laurila fired four goals and earned the MVP trophy as the Heat ambushed Winfield. Sam Frisby added two goals, while Chris Moore and Noah Debalinhard supplied singles. Mitchell earned three assists and Dakota Becker bagged a pair. Nick Mann and Frisby handled the offence as the Heat settled for a tie with Mission. Defenceman Travis Aiechele earned MVP. Moore was stellar in net and took MVP in the Heat’s loss to Salmon Arm.
Penalties hurting Rockets in first-round series Continued from B4 The Rockets came close to stealing home ice advantage from Everett in Game 1 of the series on Friday night when they took the Silvertips to overtime but lost 5-4. In game two Everett won 5-2.
“There were good things and bad things about the first two games,” said Huska. “We have to find a way to generate a little more (offence). Everett limits the chances against and we have to find a way to break them down a
little bit more.” Huska also pointed to discipline as an area that needs improvement. In the first two games, the Silvertips struck for four powerplay goals on nine chances while the Rockets were one for seven.

Enderby artist Jaime Seward gets ready to do a dialysis treatment at her home, something she does every night before going to bed.
A glimpse of life on dialysis DONALEE WALLACE Special to The Morning Star
E
very evening at 8 p.m., while many of us are hunkering down to watch Survivor, American Idol or UFC, Jaime Seward is preparing herself for home dialysis. This process can take up to two hours to prepare for before going to bed at night. It takes nine hours a night for Jaime’s home dialysis equipment to do the work that her kidneys once did. At end-stage of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PDK) Jaime’s reality is a much different one than the active, positive and fun-loving artist enjoyed before having her right kidney removed in February 2009. “I used to be out dancing at 8 o’clock at night, not hooking myself up to a machine,” said Jaime. After having her kidney removed, Jaime spent every second day travelling to Vernon for dialysis. This took up a good part of her day, sitting in a cold clinic hooked up to their dialysis machines. After several months of this routine she inquired about home dialysis. The conditions for home dialysis are challenging: a sterile environment is essential and the patient needs to be well enough and strong enough to be a candidate for the training involved. “A lot of people are far too weak to be up to the task of home dialysis, it can be a bit intimidating, but I would encourage anyone who is able to dialyze at home to do so,” she said. “The ones who are strong enough should go for it. I believe it’s healthier in the comfort of your own home and your life is not put on hold.” While Jaime awaits a suitable donor
match she’s had to adjust to the effects dialysis has on her body. “Dialysis changes the natural fluid in your body and it has an effect on your joints, heart and other organs — basically your whole system. Every part of me feels taxed, lots of joint pain and flu-like symptoms much of the time.” Eight people have come forward to be tested as a donor match for Jaime, but none so far have been compatible due to antigens. Out of those eight people, two have entered the pairing program, which means that they are willing to donate a kidney to someone else whose partner is a match for Jaime. This helps to keep the hope alive.
“I used to be dancing at 8 o’clock at night, not hooking myself up to a machine.” — Jaime Seward Recently Jaime was approached by Pauline Buck of The Kidney Foundation of Canada and asked to take on the role of ambassador for the foundation, which involves public speaking, interviews, and making her very private life public. For the purpose of public education and awareness, she accepted. Her passion for bringing clarity to people about kidney disease and organ donation far exceeds her fear of the camera, her shyness of speaking in public, and exposing her private and painful battle with Polycystic Kidney Disease.
“Through all of this I have realized what my priorities in life are. I’ve become a lot more spiritual and I meditate a lot more often. I am so much more aware of my natural surroundings, the trees, the birds, how it feels to stick my barefeet into the earth, how therapeutic that feels.” To see Jaime on the street you would question how she could be so ill and still muster the strength to emit such a positive attitude, eternal optimism and charm. “I focus really hard on feeling the light within me and extend it out to the rest of my body, my family and friends, my community, and to mother earth and the whole human family. Sometimes staying positive for me is as simple as buying a healing crystal or finding a beautiful pebble on the beach. I realize how fragile life is and how important it is to count my blessings.” Realizing that we have the ability to give the gift of life, whether to a family member or a complete stranger through a random act of kindness, can there be a greater miracle than the realization of that? Anyone can look up the statistics online for the success rate of kidney donation and what it entails for both donor and recipient. Medical science has come a long way in making organ donation much more viable, with less invasive surgery and scarring, shorter recovery time, and more positive long-term effects on the donor and recipient’s quality of life. Registration to become a kidney donor can be done online by going to The Kidney Foundation of Canada website at www.kidney.ca or by picking up forms at your local hospital.

Pay attention to sun and shade needs best description of how hardy shrubs should be treated. You are invited to drop in and ask your questions on anything from favourite varieties to fertilizing and pest control. We will also have a list on hand of the best Fred Lyall varieties of roses, including hybrids, shrubs and climbers. The warmer-thannormal weather may be a detriment rather than a help for some soft fruit trees. Birds are showing very early.
IN THE GARDEN
If by chance we get a late cold snap, it will damage the fruit buds that have started to grow much too early. We are getting closer to the time when we plan our yard decoration. The biggest mistake most folks have is being given misinformation. Be sure you have the right items in baskets or planters that are in full sun. Fuschias and begonias will not take afternoon sun. They should be in shade and not allowed to dry out. On the sunny side, marigolds, petunias, surfinias and geraniums are the very common items that will not disappoint. I once
saw baskets in a big box store that boasted at least six different colours in the basket. They were offered for the sunny side and contained fuschias. In full
sun, a fuschia will be dead in about a week. Last summer I had a call from a lady complaining that the cucumber plants she bought did not do well
once planted in her garden. All plants such as cucumbers, melon and squash require great care at the time of transplanting. Try not to disturb the soil
surrounding the roots. If you are starting any of these, use a fibre pot that can be planted directly in the soil. The less you disturb the roots, the better.
NOTICE OF POWER INTERRUPTION VERNON AREA Time: 6 AM to 9 AM When: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 We will be making electrical system improvements in the Old Kamloops Road area on Tuesday, March 30. To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for approximately 3 hours, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. The area affected is from 4340 Old Kamloops Road, north to 7488 Old Kamloops Road, including Haney Road, the entire Blue Jay subdivision, Bremmer Road and Marian Road.
Helping to fulfill a dream
We recognize the inconvenience this may cause, and will restore service as quickly as possible.

Please protect all sensitive equipment. If you experience any electrical problems following the interruption, or would like further information, please call 1 888 POWERON (1 888 769 3766).
Independent Living Vernon is asking the community to help one of its members to fulfill a dream. “I am writing on behalf of Adel Karame who is on a disability pension through the province and is having a difficult time obtaining funds to purchase a plane ticket to visit his parents in Lebanon,” said Lisa Kongsdorf of Independent Living Vernon, in a letter supporting Karame’s request. “His mother is 95 years old and his father is 109 years old and it pains him that he is unable to visit them before they pass away.
“With this he is reaching out to the community asking for any financial contribution that may help him raise enough money to travel back home in the spring.” Maritime Travel in Vernon has set up a registry for a savings fund for Karame to visit Lebanon. To contribute to the fund, visit Maritime Travel in person or see www. Maritimetravel.ca. Click on Wedding and Gift Registry link and enter Adel Karame to make a contribution.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You might believe you’re right, but unless you express yourself without pushing your view on others, they won’t buy what you’re selling. Voice your strong beliefs with a bit of lightheartedness.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) You might meet with greater opposition against your personal aims or interests today than you’re prepared to handle. Be extra careful not to react with anger to an innocent bystander.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Although you’re gifted with a keen mind, you must be careful not to use it against yourself. Be realistic in your evaluations and keep your emotions out of serious considerations.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) The largest problem with which you might have to contend today could be one of your own making. Try not to stir up needless trouble and end up being your own worst enemy.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) An old obligation you failed to handle because you didn’t like the terms that came with it might rear its ugly head today. Negotiate for better means of expression, ones you can live with. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) One-on-one relationships must be handled with much greater tact than you usually apply if you hope to have a peaceful resolution today with someone who means a lot to you. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Unless you know you can first handle your own responsibilities before assuming anybody else’s burdens, you could quickly get in way over your head. Be realistic as to what you can and cannot do. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) There is nothing you like better than getting something for nothing, but don’t resort to gambling just because you think you can make a quick killing. Your chances of doing so are very slim. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) That pressure cooker could be boiling over in your household today if you don’t watch what you’re doing. Once you stir in volatile issues, it will be difficult to keep the temperature down.
PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) Avoid a gathering today that you know could contain several individuals you don’t like. Being in their midst will make you feel uncomfortable to the point of having a miserable time.

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.
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Keep your strong opinions to yourself if you know others in the room don’t readily share what you believe. What you say could be unduly antagonistic to them and cause a brouhaha you didn’t expect.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) Be careful about doing business with a firm or individual who has what you consider to be a shady reputation, regardless of what terms are being offered. You could be taken.

Moderately Confused
Bridge by Phillip Alder Bob Hope said, “Virus is a Latin word used by doctors to mean ‘your guess is as good as mine.’” There are bridge deals where, if you adopt one line, you can make your contract by guessing correctly. But if you had chosen a different line, no guesswork would have been required. As you have no doubt guessed, this is one of them. How should South play in four spades after West leads a fourth-highest club three? South’s initial strongjump-shift response promised 13-16 highcard points with either an excellent six-card or longer suit, or at least a good fivecard suit and four or more cards in partner’s suit.
North rebid two no-trump to find out which handtype his partner held, and South jumped to game in his major, which ought to have guaranteed a solid suit. If he had rebid three spades, North probably would have continued with three no-trump, which would have made easily. The original declarer won with dummy’s club ace and drew three rounds of trumps, getting the bad news. On the last two of these tricks, South threw hearts from the board, which was fatal. If he had guessed to discard diamonds, he could have established a long heart and survived. Now, though, he had to lose four tricks. In the guess-free line
(assuming West has four clubs), South ruffs a club in his hand at trick two. Then, after drawing three rounds of trumps, he cashes his heart ace, plays a heart to dummy’s king, trumps another club, returns to dummy with a diamond, and ruffs the last club for his 10th trick.

Ferenc (Frank) Cseke Ferenc (Frank) Cseke was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1920. He was the son of Ferenc Cseke and Margit Horvath. He always spoke fondly of his upbringing especially enjoying the music and culture in Budapest with his mother. In 1946, he met and married the love of his life Roza Antalfy and they had a son Frank. Life was difficult for Frank and Roza during the war and occupation years in Hungary. In 1957, Frank and Roza took their son and left their home, family and friends. They were welcomed into Canada and settled in Kitimat, B.C. where Frank worked for Alcan as a machinist. Unfamiliar with the language and extreme weather in Kitimat, they persevered and made Kitimat their home. They retired to Vernon, B.C. to be closer to their children Frank and Wendy and grandsons Adam and Paul. Roza passed away in 1999 and Frank eventually moved to Salmon Arm in 2007. Soccer was his life. Frank started playing in the streets of Hungary when he was 8 years old. He practiced 6-8 hours everyday and attributes his success in playing with Ujpest Dozsa FC, a team in Hungary’s first division league, to his dedication to the game as a child. He went on to obtain a Level 3 certified coaching status. Frank enjoyed coaching men’s soccer teams wherever he lived, but will be remembered fondly for his work with youth soccer players and running youth summer soccer camps. You could not go anywhere without kids waving and saying hi to Frank. Living in Vernon, he volunteered with the Recreation department and organized and ran drop in indoor and outdoor soccer. Sayings like “practice hard and soon you will be a good beginner”, “nobody’s perfect except my wife”, “challenge” and “I don’t mind losing, but I prefer to win” were commonplace in the soccer community in Vernon. He could be seen training at Kin Beach with his soccer ball well into his seventies. Frank will be remembered as an ambassador of soccer promoting the “beautiful game”. We will remember him as a fiercely devoted husband, father, grandfather and a gentleman. He spent a lot of time with his grandchildren, Adam and Paul teaching them soccer, table tennis, chess and life skills, He thought education was very important and stressed to them that “what you put in your head, nobody can take away”. He enjoyed life and particularly those special moments at the pool with his son, Frank. Frank passed away peacefully on Wednesday March 17th, 2010. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Abigail Allana “Gayle” Smith was born on December 26th, 1938 and left this world on the first day of Spring, March 20th, 2010 with her family by her side. Gayle fought her eighteen month long battle with cancer with amazing wit, incredible resolve and great dignity. She was born in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital and lived in Vernon, Lavington and Revelstoke. Gayle will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by her sister, Jani (Gary) Francks; her sons, Wade Drage, Bryan (Sharon) Pratico and Scott (Kim) Pratico; her grandchildren, Shale, Gabriel, Sophia and Rachel; her nephews, Todd (Lisa) and Dean (Deana) and nieces, Kim (Don) and Andrea (Andrew); great nephews; great nieces; and extended family. Gayle will also be greatly missed by numerous life-long friends that meant the world to her and brightened her last days. She was preceded in death by her father, Alan Henderson; her dad, Henri Tremblay; her mother, Hilda “Lou” Tremblay and her first husband, Albert Drage. Gayle always knew how to make a good time out of any situation. She lived for lunches with her friends, ice cream with her grandchildren and dinners with her family. Always up for an adventure, big or small, Gayle took many day trips with her friends and several vacations abroad throughout her life. She loved all kinds of flora and enjoyed her many gifts of flowers and plants to the very end. Gayle had a varied career as a hairdresser, bookkeeper at CP Rail, many years working in the grocery business with her Dad and finally retiring after years in health care. She was an avid animal lover, reader, swimmer, amateur artist and loved scouring curio shops for unique, only Gayle could love “stuff.” Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Gayle’s Life which will be held at Bethel Funeral Chapel on Saturday, March 27th, 2010 at 11:00 A.M. with Mr. Brian Jackson officiating. A Reception will follow in the Bethel Tea Room. In honour of Gayle, please wear bright colors as she loved the vibrant and varied shades of springtime. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Gayle to the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506-27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4.

Philip Donovan Pool September 17, 1957 March 15, 2010 It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce Philip’s peaceful passing at Vernon Hospice House after an 11 month battle with pancreatic cancer with his family by his side. Philip was born in North Vancouver to A. Donovan (Don) and the late Mary Pool. Philip is survived by his beloved wife Debra and their children, Andrew, Gillian, Thomas, Matthew, and Elizabeth; father Don ( Joan), brothers Ian (France), Kenneth ( Jody), sisters Judy (Michael) and Janet; father and mother in law Tom and Mary Wilson, brother in law David (Leah), sister in law Anne; nephews Jamie, David, Hugh, Ben, Cameron, Colin, and nieces Emma, Crystyn and Mackenzie. Philip graduated from Delbrook High School in North Vancouver in 1975. He continued his education with a BA in economics at Simon Fraser University, a MBA at Queens University, and a LLB at University of Windsor. Philip was called to the Bar in 1988 after a short period with Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy in Vancouver. In December 1989, he joined the Ministry of the Attorney General as Crown Counsel in Vancouver before transferring to Vernon in 1994. As dedicated as he was to the practice of law, Philip had many other passions in life. Philip loved trains and there are many fond memories of train trips taken with family and friends. He thoroughly enjoyed his role as a volunteer ski patroller for 12 years at Silver Star Mountain, as well as outdoor activities such as scouting and camping. His love of barbecues and fine wine was renowned amongst his friends who were always assured of a wonderful evening with their host. Above all else though, Philip was a family man and adored each of his children while also giving his heart to numerous foster children over the last 14 years. Philip’s integrity, morality, and compassion enriched everything he did and for this he is deeply loved by so many. Funeral Service is to be held Friday, April 9 at 2:00pm at All Saints Anglican Church at 3506 27 Ave, Vernon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Philip’s name to the North Okanagan Hospice Society at 3506 27 Ave, Vernon, V1T 1S4.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TOWNSHIP OF SPALLUMCHEEN OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN REVIEW The Township of Spallumcheen is proposing to conduct a review of its OfďŹ cial Community Plan (OCP). To do so, the Township is seeking the services of a qualiďŹ ed consultant or consulting team with experience and knowledge in conducting such reviews. The current OCP has worked well in guiding decisions on planning and land use matters. It is, however, time to revisit and update this policy document by engaging the community in a comprehensive public and stakeholder consultation process. It is expected that going through such a process will help ensure that Council decisions related to land use, development, transportation and infrastructure reďŹ&#x201A;ect the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desired future of Spallumcheen. Detailed Terms of Reference for this project are available on the Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.spallumcheentwp.bc.ca and at the ofďŹ ce of the Township of Spallumcheen located at 4144 Spallumcheen Way, Spallumcheen BC between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. Proposals must be received at the Township ofďŹ ce no later than Friday, April 16, 2010. For further information, please contact Greg Routley, Planner at (250) 550-3734 or by e-mail at greg.routley@rdno.ca. Lynda Shykora Administrator
