In the wake of three humancaused spot fires in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park Wednesday, the Ministry of Forests is reminding everyone that conditions are dry. Last summer/fall’s drought conditions, along with minimal precipitation in the North Okanagan at lower elevations over the winter, has left things in the forests quite dry. “With the weather we’ve had, we’re about three weeks ahead of schedule,” said Gerard Duff-Tytler, a forest protection technician with the ministry, after completing his investigation into the three fires in the park. “With the weather we’re experiencing now, it’s like it’s mid-April for the conditions of the fuels in particular.” Smoke was spotted in the park at around 9 a.m. by an alert resident, who notified the Coldstream Fire Department. The volunteer firefighters responded, along with a Ministry of Forests initial attack crew. The fires were located at the trail leading to Rattlesnake Point, a couple of hundred metres from one another. Two of the fires were 0.5 metres square, and those two self-extinguished. The other fire was about 50 metres square, and expanded thanks to a slight wind and being located on a slight slope. “It’s very dry out there but there is still some moisture in the vegetation,” explained Duff-Tytler. “The wind wasn’t at high velocity so that prevented the one fire from spreading fast. And it wasn’t on a steep slope. If the slope had been higher, it would have spread faster.” Duff-Tytler determined that the fires were human-caused, but would only say his investigation is continuing when asked if the fires were suspicious in nature.

Jockeys Chandelle Pilz (left) and Carolyn Stinn put a pair of horses through their paces at Kin Race Track on 43rd Avenue Thursday morning.
Horse enthusiasts protest Kin track move RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Possible abandonment of the Kin Race Track is getting a rough ride from some horse enthusiasts. About 70 people attended an Okanagan Equestrian Society open house Tuesday. And many of them spoke out against a concept that would potentially see racing events move from the Kin track to an equestrian centre somewhere else in the region. “All you’re doing is clouding the issue,� said Paul DuMont, a local fixture in the sport. The society is in the midst of litigation with the North Okanagan Regional District over use of the track. NORD, which owns the property with the City of Vernon, has issued an eviction notice. A report by consultant Gary Bannerman has suggested that an equestrian centre at another site may be a solution to resolving
“Do we want all of our history and heritage to disappear?� — Pat McAllister the legal dispute. “The Bannerman report weakens our response because we’re saying we’re willing to go somewhere else,� said one man. Pat McAllister spoke in favour of keeping the track where it is and criticized NORD’s plans to redevelop the Kin site for other sports. “Do we want all of our history and heritage to disappear? Do we want the newcomers to completely change our city?� she said. However, Ed Woolley, society president,
insists no firm decision has been made on a new centre at another site. “If it’s not feasible, it won’t be pursued,� he said. Woolley added that if NORD doesn’t fund a feasibility study, plans for an equestrian centre would be placed on hold. A centre could include racing, gaming, training, boarding and a veterinary hospital. “This is one of the major equine areas in the province,� said Woolley of the North Okanagan. If the society were to win its court case and continued access to Kin Race Track was possible, Woolley speculates that an equestrian centre could be established on nearby properties. “We think we have a strong claim against both defendants,� he said of NORD and the city. The society claims equestrian activities were a guaranteed activity when most of the
track was turned over to the city in 1964 for free. It also says NORD ignored an agreement for lease renewals. A tentative court date is set for June 2011, and the society may seek an injunction to prevent this fall’s eviction. “For us to be removed and have the track torn down would defeat the purpose of a trial,� said Woolley.

Among the items most needed are canned food such as tomatoes, soup, beans and spaghetti sauce. There is also a need for fresh fruits and vegetables, commercial bags of rice, oats, tea and coffee and paper and styrofoam cups and plates. “Financial help with the cost of feeding those we serve and staffing the mission would also

Water concerns directed to city BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
In the ongoing controversy over increased water fees, Coldstream council is encouraging anyone concerned about increased water rates to take their case to the City of Vernon. Ted Osborn, who represents the agricultural community on water issues, addressed council and said farmers in the area face uncertain times given the nine per cent rate increase approved recently by the North Okanagan Regional District board. “If anyone wants to invest in agriculture in this community, they have very little reliance on water rates in the future,” said Osborn. But the district’s representative at the last NORD meeting, Gyula Kiss, voted in favour
“This is a serious problem.” — Richard Enns of the increase, saying the budget would have passed without his vote anyway. “Water is only part of the budget. If I am the only one voting (against), it’s like I’m grandstanding,” he said. “You don’t want to do that.” He believes the decreased amount of water currently available will produce too little revenue. “In order to meet the required money, we need to sell domestic water to the tune of 8.2 million cubic metres,” said Kiss. “This is going to be a drought year. I
am questioning if we’d be able to get enough (water to sell).” The unpredictable nature of the water resource makes it harder to address in a budget, says Kiss. He added that dry conditions leading to water restrictions mean the tax increase is the best option at a time when more water revenue is needed. “It’s not easy to cover all the water expenses when you want to reduce water consumption but at same time cover budget shortfalls,” he said. Coun. Richard Enns
still assured Osborn Coldstream is behind him. “You have the support of the council of Coldstream,” said Enns, adding more heat needs to be put on Vernon. “You need to raise your concerns with them. This is a serious problem.” There are three Vernon councillors that have votes at NORD. “It’s really the council of the City of Vernon that we need to convince,” said Coun. Doug Dirk. “That’s where some of the pressure should go.” Osborn had last week expressed frustration with the representatives of Areas B and C and Coldstream, districts with significant agriculture, because the water rate increase passed at at the regional district unanimously.
BRENT MUTIS
Coldstream has approved its 2010 budget, including a 5.59 per cent tax increase. The loss of revenue due to the closure of the Lavington glass plant made it necessary to raise taxes to maintain current service levels. “If you look an the loss of income with the glass plant closing and that we are also looking at a pavement manJim Garlick agement plan, (a tax raise was needed),” said Mayor Jim Garlick. “It’s reasonable for what’s been undertaken and the losses we’ve had in tax base.” The district held an open house Feb. 17 to gather public input. Garlick said he and his staff were able to answer questions and explain the reason for the new tax rate. Legal fees from the water devolution arbitration process, increased policing fees and new Public Sector Accounting Board rules made the
increase necessary. “We had people that showed up and they had some questions about legal fees for the arbitration process,” said Garlick. “We explained the reason behind it and I think people are satisfied.”

The rate hike is needed to pay for the operation of the Duteau Creek treatment plant. But Osborn noted agricultural users don’t need treated water. “Quality is not an issue with lake water,” he said. The increase means $19 more per hectare for farmers, up from the $212 already being paid.

HST focus of Vernon stops
FOOD MARKET
RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
Vernon is at the centre of the anti-HST storm. NDP leader Carole James will bring her campaign against the harmonized sales tax to town today, while a similar message will come from former premier Bill Vander Zalm Saturday. Finance Minister Colin Hansen also speaks to the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce today at 11:30 a.m. at the Best Western Vernon Lodge James is scheduled to be at Olympia Ski and Cycle at 2:15 p.m. today. She will then meet with local seniors and then do some main streeting. “She’s joining people from all walks of life concerned about the tax,” said Neera Ritcey, NDP communications Carole James officer. It’s anticipated the process to replace the provincial sales tax with the HST could be before the Legislature next week. “We’re coming right down to the wire so it’s timely to be out in the community,” said Ritcey. James will also focus on Eric Foster, VernonMonashee MLA, and other Liberals to vote against the HST. “We’re targeting rookie MLAs. It’s time for them to step up to the plate and represent their constituents,” said Ritcey. Vander Zalm will speak at the Schubert Centre Saturday at 3:30 p.m. “Everyone is concerned about the extra cost,” said the former Social Credit premier. “Also, all of this happened when we were told it wouldn’t be happening.” Using B.C. Elections rules, Vander Zalm is trying to organize a petition against the HST. If 10 per cent of registered voters in all 85 constituencies sign the petition, implementation of the tax could be blocked. “Instead of people forgetting as the government had hoped, people are getting more and more involved. We’re going to win,” said Vander Zalm. “We’re getting people from all parties and philosophical views.” The petition campaign will run from April 6 to July 5. Foster defends the HST and says the NDP and other groups are fear-mongering. “Carole James and Bill Vander Zalm make for a strange pair,” he said.
Group Golf Lessons
“The forest industry has said it (tax) is a huge benefit to the industry. I support the forestry industry. Why doesn’t she (James)?” Foster insists misinformation is being spread about the HST. “It won’t impact people the way they are saying,” he said. “Every major economist says this will put us ahead. It will create jobs.”

In praise of health care
A
fter watching President Obama sign the U.S. health care bill into law, I was both moved and horrified at the same time. Moved that millions of Americans would now be able to afford what Canadians take for granted. Horrified as I took in some of the news of those against the bill: the anger, the vitriol, the racial slurs, the death threats against Democratic lawmakers. I’m trying to understand how anyone can be against health care and a nation that spends billions annually on defence and its military budget should Katherine Mortimer be able to provide health care to its citizens. I admit I don’t understand the intricate workings of U.S. politics, but I wonder if a lot of the anti-health care rhetoric stems from that deep-seated fear of anything smacking of socialism. Which is odd, given that this new health bill still doesn’t come close to universal health care in the style of Canada, France and the U.K. The insurance companies are still the ones providing the coverage, and it’s left up to the individual to buy the insurance. When Michael Moore’s documentary Sicko came out a few years ago, he was asked in an interview, “But isn’t Canada’s system flawed?” He said, “It’s not perfect, but if you ask a Canadian if they would trade their health system for the one in the U.S., you won’t find anyone who would agree to that.” He’s right. There’s no question our system isn’t perfect. There are long waits for surgeries, over-crowded hospital wards, a lack of general practitioners in Vernon and too much money being spent on the Olympics and not enough on health care. But I sure like knowing that, if my daughter has a fever in the middle of the night, I can take her to the hospital, without fear that we will be turned away. Or that I can see my family doctor when I

need to, or go to the walk-in clinic. I like knowing that when my mom had cancer, she was able to get the treatment she needed and not be refused because of a pre-existing condition, such as the woman in the U.S. with breast cancer who couldn’t get treatment because of her own pre-existing condition: acne. When my husband injured his back just before Christmas last year, we made our first of several trips to the emergency department of Vernon Jubilee Hospital. He was seen to immediately by the triage nurse, who took his vitals. A short wait in the waiting room and he was taken to a bed, seen by another nurse, followed shortly afterwards by a doctor. He was in extreme pain and could barely move. We were treated with courtesy and kindness, and he was quickly assessed as most likely having a herniated disc in his back. After being sent home with painkillers, he was scheduled for a CT scan, our family doctor was consulted and a recommendation made for a consultation with a surgeon. We were back in the ER a few days later, and it wasn’t long after that my husband had surgery to repair his back. I know people have horror stories of having to wait on a gurney in the hallway, of not getting treatment right away. Maybe I’ve just been lucky, but my family’s experience with our health care system, at least in this community, has been nothing short of superb. About a month ago, it was my turn. Suffering from a severe ear infection, I showed up at emergency at 1:30 a.m. and was seen to by the nurse. The doctor gave me something for the pain, a prescription for antibiotics, and I was out of there in less than an hour. While there is no question the new patient care tower at VJH is desperately needed, there is no questioning the dedication of the amazing health care professionals we have in this community, working in what are often cramped and less-than-ideal working conditions, not to mention the long hours. Our system may be flawed, it may need improvement, but trade with the U.S.? Not on your life.
It’s a reminder worth repeating. It’s dry out there folks. Wednesday’s human-caused and very suspicious fires at Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, although disturbing as they are, help sound the alarm that conditions are drier than usual in the North Okanagan. Luckily the Coldstream Fire Department and Ministry of Forests crews were able to put out the small blazes before they became a problem but the possibility of a much worse result spreads fear and apprehension in these parts, well, like wildfire. Although March is still with us, officials say the forests are more in mid-April mode, what with last year’s drought conditions and this spring’s lack of precipitation. That means, until we hopefully get an appreciable amount of rain, we all need to be very careful when out enjoying Mother Nature this spring. However, we also need to be good stewards of our surroundings and not only be on the lookout for unsafe practises and potential problems in the woods, but also ensure young people understand the ramifications and consequences of reckless behaviour in such an environment. If anyone saw anything suspicious in Kal Park early Wednesday morning, they should contact the proper authorities. Meanwhile we should all ensure we and our loved ones aren’t part of the problem. And if you do see smoke in our forests, please call 1-800663-5555 or *5555 on a cell phone.

ehold the glorious merry-go-round — pretty painted ponies dash past in a whirl of motion, up and down, charging, galloping. A rush of exhilaration at such glorious progress, only to return to the very same spot from whence they began — again, and again, and again. Hang on tight boys and girls, it looks as though we’re going for yet another spin. Unfortunately, once the novelty of the ride wears off, it eventually becomes a little nauseating, and I find myself reaching for the air sickness bag. That’s exactly where I find myself in reading Richard Rolke’s article in the The Morning Star entitled “Pesticide Bylaw Drives Debate." I believe it was nearly a decade ago that this amusement park ride first got started. Concerned citizens started to pay heed to the warning signs that were popping up all over the place in the world around us, and took it upon themselves to investigate. The disappearance of once abundant raptor populations in the wake of DDT, Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, with its plethora of damning evidence that our purportedly "benign" arsenal of pesticides PESTICIDES DEBATE Over the past few months, the topic of pesticide safety has been in the news quite regularly. Most newspaper articles seem to concern groups wishing to have "cosmetic" pesticides banned. These groups base these demands on scientific data claimed to support their case that these pesticides are problematic to humans, animals, and the environment. They also demand these bans be put in effect based on the precautionary principle, that they may, or they might cause cancer, or some other disease in humans. I’d like to look at each of these purposes that these groups use for demanding a ban. 1. They claim that there is scientific data which supports the claim that cosmetic pesticide exposure has been linked to adult and childhood cancers. What should be done with these studies? What should you do if you had evidence of criminal intent? Where should you go with this information? The answer should be obvious. Any, and all data which conclusively shows a link to human harm, ought to be brought to the gov-
were having disastrous effects on both wildlife and humans alike, the eutrophication of formerly productive lakes through fertilizer runoff, and countless other pieces of evidence that our so-called regulatory bodies were woefully behind in ensuring public safety were ringing alarm bells, and delegations appeared before the city counselors to voice these very concerns. Rather than take immediate action, however, our councillors chose to take the "prudent path" and struck a committee to look into the problem. Fair enough. A committee was formed, the problem looked into, recommendations made, a
erning body (Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency) that regulates the material said to be toxic. The PMRA has 350 qualified scientists (not paid by the industry) to review such evidence. Has this been done? I am assuming it has. Was the evidence lacking? I’m assuming it was. If any product has not been prohibited by the PMRA, then the evidence for harm is lacking. The medicine you take must also be approved by Health Canada. Why are so many willing to trust Health Canada has correctly reviewed the studies regarding the safely of their medicine, but not that for pesticides? Pesticides are the most regulated substances in Canada. 2. It appears that another step taken by those opposed to the use of "cosmetic" pesticides is to create fear in the Canadian public by stating that "cosmetic" pesticides may cause cancer, or any number of other illnesses. You will not be able to find a statement from a qualified scientist that says that they do. Repeat it often enough and it may begin to ring as true. Creating this anxiety, and then
report produced and the merry-go-round was allowed to slip quietly back to its starting place. The report was shelved for consideration, the ripples died down, the matter was forgotten, and it was back to business as usual. Years passed, nothing was done, until eventually murmurings were heard once again amongst those same concerned citizens. Mount the horses, and fire up the boilers for another brave spin. New evidence was presented, councillors feigned concern, prudence-guided committees were struck, reports were
offering a solution such as banning "cosmetic pesticides" is insidious, particularly so when the pesticides can not proven to be at fault. Those creating these fears claim to have the answer, a watered down version of the United Nations Precautionary Principle: “When the activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken ….” The UN version of the principle (the Rio Declaration of 1992) declares that the activity must create “serious and irreversible” harm to be considered under this principle. This more sensible definition is not the one generally used by those using scare tactics. Simply paraphrased, the Principle states that if something threatens to do harm, eliminate it. Such an all encompassing statement, if taken literally, would have us ban ladders (you might fall off), and would never have allowed airplanes to get off the ground (you might crash). It is the leading competent authority, the regulatory body of the PMRA (not unqualified, anti-
produced and lackadaisically set aside to gather dust. The merry-go-round slipped quietly back to its starting point and here we are, set to go again. All the while that we’ve been bravely going up and down, around and around, the rest of the world has finally started moving forward. People are gradually realizing that dandelions are a far lesser evil than potential cancers, that corporate interests have unduly influenced both our public policy and our perceptions of what entails civic beauty and that the burden of proof should be on pesticide companies to prove that their products are safe rather than on us to prove they’re not. Twenty-two communities throughout the province have pulled their ponies off the turntable and are making real progress towards reclaiming that safe, caring, nurturing community status. My hope is that the citizens of Vernon will make a similar choice and act by voicing their disgust at the lip service that our mayor and councillors seem content to pay to this important issue.

pesticide groups), that should be in charge of deciding what products are safe enough when applied properly. The method of misleading the public in a debate based on fear is shameful, and bullying. Don’t lose your right on unfounded science (to date). I don’t have all the answers. I follow the regulations (integrated pest management) put in front of me by those who are there to protect the health of the community. I do not like that I now have to lobby the government to not ban "cosmetic’" pesticides that have been registered by the proper authority and certified as safe to use. I’m certain that there will be many opinions sent in to the B.C. government during the consultation process. I will send in mine with as little qualifications as I have, realizing that any decision on pesticides should be based on science, as defined by real scientists.

Car crashes into Hortons BRENT MUTIS
Morning Star Staff
There were no injuries to the driver or to diners when a car drove into the side of a Vernon Tim Hortons restaurant Wednesday afternoon. An eyewitness said the middle-aged woman driver and female passenger were shaken up after the incident. The driver quickly came inside the restaurant on Highway 6 to check on patrons. “There was a huge, loud crash,” said Pam Jodoin, who was having

Some of their belongings
were strewn about but nothing more. Three emergency vehicles responded to the scene and Vernon firefighters were assessing damage to the building’s exterior. “The window’s popped out but structurally it’s sound,” said Capt.
Jim Bieber. “Obviously the wall has to be repaired but I don’t think there’s any imminent problem of it collapsing or anything though.” Bieber confirmed there was nobody hurt though the restaurant’s customers received a bit of a jolt. “They were surprised, a little bit startled by it I think,” he said. “But otherwise no one was injured.”

Bella Vista neighbours unhappy with city’s plans RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff
The City of Vernon is drawing sharp criticism over long-term planning in one neighbourhood. About 85 people attended a public hearing on the draft Bella Vista West neighbourhood plan Monday, and most of them accused the city of ignoring them. “It’s like the planning department paid lip service to the community’s input,” said resident David Bissett. “I’m stunned we’re discussing the same draft plan my neighbourhood indicated six months ago was unacceptable,” added Catherine Cookson. Some also wondered why the public hearing was held at the Schubert Centre and not at the Deer Park Restaurant in the Tronson Road area. “We feel disadvantaged that we had to come into town to speak to our elected officials,” said Lew Rossner, president of the Phoenix Estates strata. Specific concerns arose about a developer’s plans for upwards of 134 apartment-style units on three acres. “It does not meet the current or future community needs,” said Isabel Furtado, Lakeview Estates Community Association president. Among the concerns are the area doesn’t have sufficient services to handle that density and considerable traffic will be created on Bella Vista Road. “Development within the form and character of the neighbourhood is the issue at hand,” said Cookson, adding that single-family units are preferred. Rossner suggests the city swap land with the developer so a highdensity development can be built downtown and the Bella Vista site can become park. “We don’t want to stand in the way of reasonable development. Our desire was to find compromise but we were never contacted
by your staff,” he told council. Speakers also claimed the neighbour-

District close to new school speed zone CHRIS LAW Black Press
A school zone with a posted speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour is likely in George Elliot Secondary Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Lake Country council has given three readings to a bylaw that would create the zone. All that remains to be done now is for the bylaw to be adopted at a forthcoming meeting. GESS principal Vianne Kintzinger initiated the request for
a school zone, voicing her concern over the safety of student pedestrians in the area with respect to the number of young drivers in the area and the speed at which vehicles travel past the school. Fifteen-year-old Josie Evans died in January when she was struck by a vehicle on Bottom Wood Lake Road, near the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loss of Josie Evans will not be forgotten but we have an opportunity to make something posi-
tive come out of this tragedy,â&#x20AC;? said Miriam Landry, with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory committee. The PAC also wants sidewalks and street lighting along Bottom Wood Lake Road. The RCMP also backed Kintzingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request and will be enforcing the reduced speed limit when it comes into effect. The school zone will stretch from approximately the north entrance/exit of the roundabout at Berry

The resident told police they received correspondence from a company which showed a website ending in .net, and gave a Toronto address and phone number. The person was requested to comment on money transfer services by sending money, and then completing a questionnaire.

After the transaction was completed, the victim then received word back from their bank indicating that the bank draft they deposited was fraudulent, and that the victim was responsible for what had been deposited. That money was removed from their accounts. Police said in this case, the relative the money was sent to first was in England, and
when a second request was received, the fictitious relative was said to be in London, Ont.

Lake Country residents satisfied with collection system CHRIS LAW Black Press
Lake Country council has heard about Central Okanagan residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attitudes towards the yard waste collection program implemented last year. The Central Okanagan Regional Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard waste survey was answered by 423 people, including 75 from Lake Country. Of the respondents from Lake Country, 26 per cent live on properties larger than one acre. Peter Rotheisler, regional waste reduction supervisor, says that in general people on the new system are happy with the new collection method. However, he added that Lake Country remains somewhat less satisfied in comparison to the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other municipalities. The most common problems identified with the new bin-based collection system, both in Lake Country and throughout the region, are that the bins are too small and that biweekly collection is too infrequent. Coun. Geoff Greenwell said the problems are especially apparent in spring and fall when pine needles start to pile up, creating
a fire hazard. He asked Rostheisler and the regional district
to explore options to remove that hazard. The report was
commissioned by the regional district and carried out by Schroeder
Research. It focused only on the yard waste compo-
nent of waste collection, as Rotheisler says that problems related to the
transition for garbage and recycling have been nominal.

Vipers look to put away Penticton GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
PENTICTON – The Vernon Vipers made up for a mediocre night of even-strength hockey by putting on a spectacular special teams clinic against the Vees Wednesday night. The Snakes made Penticton pay for a lack of discipline by going 3-for-7 on the powerplay to earn a 5-0 win in Game 4 of their best-of-seven B.C. Hockey League Interior Conference final at South Okanagan Events Centre. They even managed to score shorthanded on a sensational solo effort by Mike Collins midway through the third period. After winning a foot race to a loose puck in the neutral zone, the Boston product faked out a Penticton defender with a time-bending toe drag before beating netminder Sean Bonar with a high backhand. Penticton, who suffered their first home loss of the playoffs, were unsuccessful in four powerplay attempts. The Vipers hold a 3-1 edge in the series, and will look to end the Vees’ season tonight at Wesbild Centre. If necessary, Game 6 would go Saturday in Penticton, and Game 7 would return to Wesbild Sunday (all games 7 p.m.). The Vees won 4-0 in Game 3 with Bonar earning first star with 37 saves. “We had an opportunity to steal one in this building tonight and now we get to go home and we’ve got a pretty good stranglehold on this series,” said Vipers’ head coach Mark Ferner. “It’s not over by a long shot, but going home up 3-1 is a good thing. “That hockey team is not going to roll over for us; we’re going to have to go out and earn everything we get.” Despite the lopsided score, the Vipers weren’t at their best in front of 2,171 fans. Both teams looked nervous early, making uncharacteristic turnovers. Bryce Kakoske’s first two goals of the post-season, both set up by linemate Jonathan Milhouse, seemed to steady Vernon’s composure. “You look at the games Penticton and Vernon play against each other and they’re usually played a little bit better,” said Ferner. “We were physical, we paid attention to details, but I think we came out a bit nervous. “We needed everybody tonight, and everybody came,” added Ferner, a comment that could have easily applied to the two boisterous bus loads of yellow hard hat-wearing Vernon fans that made the trip south. Both goalies were tested early as Vernon’s Connor Jones tried a one-handed poke to beat Bonar (23 saves), but hit the post in the first minute. Shortly after, Vernon keeper Graeme Gordon (21 saves) had trouble handling Matt Paltridge’s shot from inside the blueline, with the puck trickling dangerously through the crease. Gordon has four shutouts in his last six games, and Ferner praised the North Vancouver product for bouncing back from an injury that kept him out of the lineup late in the regular season. “He’s found his game. He was our best player tonight... a couple of those saves were just phenomenal. He has that ability, he’s in the zone right now and that’s good for our hockey team.” Milhouse set up Kakoske’s first goal by burning defenceman Joey Laleggia before feeding his linemate for a one-timer from the slot at 7:31 of the first period. Early in the second period, Milhouse fired a shot from the sidewall, with Kakoske redirecting it five-hole. Kakoske, a

Vernon’s Sahir Gill (front) tries to elude the Vees’ Beau Bennett during Game 4 of the BCHL Interior Conference final Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. The Vipers won 5-0 to earn a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Vernon product, says the Vipers’ scoring depth has been one of the keys to this series. “It’s awesome to not have to rely on just one line all the time. Our line (Milhouse and Dylan Walchuk) has been playing great the whole time, even though we haven’t really been putting up numbers, but it’s starting to come. “This is a hard building to play in, so we just had to come out hard and know they’d come back. We just kept pushing and it worked out well tonight.” Penticton responded with a solid second period, earning a two-minute stint of pressure in Vernon’s end after Gordon (third star) made an acrobatic diving save to rob Garrett Milan on his doorstep. The veteran keeper lost his stick and borrowed defenceman Adam Thompson’s blade while they were hemmed in

We’re playing a heck of a team... when you’re killing seven or eight penalties you’re not going to have much juice.” Added the Vees Denver Manderson: “I thought we had some good shifts, some good momentum. Take a penalty and they go and score. That just kills you. Clearly we needed more chances. There’s nothing else do to but try and look forward.” Thompson made it 3-0 Vernon when his point shot appeared to redirect off Paltridge midway through the second frame. Cole Ikkala, batting the rebound out of mid-air from Stevie Weinstein’s point shot, capped Vernon’s scoring. Meanwhile, in the Coastal Conference final, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs held a 3-1 series lead over the Powell River Kings heading into Game 5 Thursday night at Weyerhauser Arena in Port Alberni.

Garret airs double gold in Canada Post Series Morning Star Staff
CanWest team member Garret Wiltshire delighted the home crowd with a double-gold performance at the Canada Post Canadian Series Freestyle Frenzy single and dual mogul competitions last weekend at Silver Star. Under blue sky conditions Saturday, Wiltshire edged fellow team member Andrew Pool for gold in the singles competition. “I just laid down my run and everybody else laid down their run and my run was the best,” said Wiltshire. In other single moguls competition, Silver Star Freestyle Ski Club’s Connor Reeves was 19th, Mark Heinmiller earned 27th and Jordan Cario rated 31st. In Sunday’s dual run, Wiltshire edged Alberta’s Luke Ulsifer for top spot. Reeves skied a smart run to finish seventh in the qualifying round before being knocked out in the finals by Paul Passek of Ontario, who went on to take bronze. Cario, Heinmiller and Pool were 23rd, 25th and 28th respectively. Chief of course, Chris Reeves praised Silver Star for their continued support of this event. “Without the support of Silver Star and all the parent volunteers this event would not have happened,” he said. Meanwhile, Vernon’s Jon Versteeg continued his recent slopestyle success at the Coor’s Light You Look Good Riders Cup slopestyle competition last weekend at Mount Seymour in North
Vancouver. A week after earning a $3,500 payday at the Telus Triple Challenge in Blue Mountain, Ont., Versteeg pocketed another $2,000 for his firstplace finish in the pro men’s division at Seymour. Versteeg will be at Silver Star this weekend for the fifth annual Throwdown, Showdown, Hoedown competition, which features both open and amateur categories. The freestyle club will then host the B.C. Freestyle Championships over the Easter weekend (April 1-4) at Silver Star. The event includes single and dual moguls for youth and super youth, big air and slopestyle competitions. For more information, click on the Activities/ Events tab at www.skisilverstar.com. Meanwhile, the freestyle club will hold a major fundraiser Saturday, April 10 from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Seaton School gym. The club is calling it ‘Everything But Ski Sport Swap & Sale.’ “It’s a great chance to either clear out the garage and storage area of unused sports equipment or pick up some new gear,” said Carla Peters of the freestyle club. “We are modeling the event after the ski swap idea and have taken the same idea to all other sports.” Items from various sports may be dropped off for consignment Friday, April 9 between 4-8 p.m. at the Seaton gym. The club will take a 20 per cent commission.

Duo rates U18 invite KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Cassie Bosworth hired a personal hockey instructor. Alex Gowie helped the ThompsonOkanagan Rockets win the B.C. Midget Tier 1 Female Hockey Championships in Prince George. Both routes worked for the Vernon minor hockey products as they made the grade at a district Under 18 identification camp last weekend in Princeton. A total of 20 players were selected. Bosworth, a 16-year-old defenceman, and Gowie, a 17-year-old winger, now go to the B.C. Cup starting April 21 in Duncan. They will play a six-team jamboree-style tournament with the top 50 players chosen to try out for Team B.C. over the May long weekend in Salmon Arm. That team will later play in the 2011 Canada Winter Games, Feb. 11-27, in Nova Scotia, where the national U18 squad will be selected. “I blew my knee in the fitness testing but I still played both games,” said Bosworth, a Grade 10 VSS student. “It took me a while to get in the groove. My dad (Mike) videoed the games and we watched it Saturday night and picked up some things.” Bosworth focused on keeping her feet moving and closing the gap defensively in the Sunday game. She credits Mike Burke of the Okanagan Training Rink with giving her the moxy to show well in Princeton. “Mike Burke definitely took me there. I couldn’t have done it without him. He
helped me a lot with everything, my shooting, deking, everything. He worked with me until I felt comfortable. He dedicated so much time one-on-one with me.” Said Burke: “She worked really, really hard and I had faith she would make the team. We worked on changing speeds, getting quicker feet, stickhandling, passing and we really worked on her shot.” Bosworth, who also enjoys horseback riding with her mom and Lakeside Printing Warriors Midget hockey coach, Christine, said her mom has taught her lots of stuff over the past nine years of hockey. Cassie, who hopes to secure a scholarship, even gets out and plays women’s hockey with her mom’s Vixens team. “I am very proud of how Cassie has developed through minor hockey, and if I have played a small part in her success today, that makes me happy,” said Christine. “We have shared some incredible hockey highs and hockey lows throughout the years. Now that she is older we have had the chance to play together in a few games with my hockey team. There’s nothing better than looking up in a game and seeing she has my back.” Gowie scored once in the provincial final as the Rockets iced the Kootenay Wildcats 8-2, and then headed to the Island for the U18 camp for the second straight year. “They said I have a lot speed and I use it well driving to the net,” said Gowie, a Grade 11 VSS student. “The head coach (Mark Elders) was my assistant coach with the

Cassie Bosworth (left) and Alex Gowie will attend the B.C. Under 18 Cup next month in Duncan. Rockets so they knew who I was.” The Rockets will meet the Alberta champions in a best-of-three regional series next Easter weekend at Royal LePage Place in West Kelowna. The winner goes to the Esso Cup nationals in Regina. Gowie has been playing organized hockey for seven years. “I played road hockey and watched my brother (Nick) play roller hockey and decided to try ice hockey. I’m a fast learner so I caught on quick. I like the thrill. It’s way more intense than soccer.” Gowie has been a Rep striker for years, but will join a women’s league soccer club this season so she can focus on hockey.
Vikings earn fourth in B.C. Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s Jacura Trucking Jr. B Vikings finished fourth at 2-3 and won the Fair Play award at the Junior B Ringette Provincials in Penticton last weekend. The Vikings opened Friday by stopping host Penticton 8-2 with Bailee Hopkins and Melanie Wakutz each scoring twice. Singles came from Shelby Munk, Megan Vadnais, Ana Manton and Miya Doige. Whitney Jacura and Terri-Lynn Blatny both had assists. Later that day, the Vikings fell 6-3 to the Fraser Valley. Vernon goals came from by Nicole Williams, Munk assisted by Blatny, and Jacura assisted by Wakutz. On Saturday, the Vikings lost 5-0 to eventual
U16 champion Terrace and then bowed 8-3 to Westside. Wakutz supplied 1+3, while Doige and Briana Ostafie also connected. The Vikes doubled Penticton 4-2 Sunday to claim fourth place. Jacura managed a pair of goals with assists to Munk and Wakutz. Manton scored from Doige and Ostafie converted a feed from Williams. Defensive players Ostafie, Doige, Dinushi Fernando and Kaylee Barss, along with goalie Sarah Semph, played outstanding all weekend. Sue Barss is head coach of the Vikings, while assistants are Randy Semph, Lesley Williams and Mallory Sisson. 4th Annual

The Rockets went 6-0 at the provincials. Gowie was the lone Vernon player on the team, made up of mainly Kelowna and Kamloops talent. “You could put any of our lines out and you wouldn’t have to match,” said Gowie, who is also eyeing a scholarship. Added her head coach Sylvain Leone: “She’s got good speed and the ability to change gears and show a nice level of speed. She’s also a strong defensive player.” Gowie may play for the Pursuit of Excellence team based out of Lake Country or the Richmond Pacific Steelers, both travel teams where she could get prime exposure from university recruiters.

Ackeral ready to roll in E-town KEVIN MITCHELL Sports Editor
Kane Ackeral likes to use some positive mental imagery when he’s on a roll at the bowling alley. Things have been mighty clear for the 18-year-old lately. He begins play today in the National Youth Challenge Fivepin Championships in Edmonton after reeling off a pair of recent 400 games. The Fulton grad, bowling for Hammer Time, tossed nine strikes in a row for a sizzling 408 Monday night at Lincoln Lanes. Two weeks earlier, in the same Monday 7-9 P.M. League, he nailed 10 straight strikes for a 415. “When I bowled my 415, I just went into the last frame and pictured my last strike and didn’t think of the frame ahead of me,” said Ackeral, who works at Interior Bottle & Freight. “As soon as you starting thinking too much, you’re in trouble.”
Ackeral, who competes in a Sunday mixed league as well, got support Monday from his Hammer Time teammates Drew Soroka, Jamie Schnyder and Candice Massey. He goes into the nationals as the No. 3 seed on the B.C. team. He compiled a 2,049 total over eight games at the provincial finals last November at Grandview Lanes in Vancouver. “After the first four games, I was 25th out of 30,” he said. “After that, I kept working at it, figured out what I was doing wrong and fixed them. I rolled three straight 300 games (353,366, 307) to finish strong.” Tyler Desabrais of Penticton and Tyler Ford of Port Coquitlam were the top finishers at the provincials. Tyce Koenig of Vernon was seventh. There are team, singles and match play at the nationals. A snowboarder, Ackeral started in the YBC program at Polson Bowling Centre as a tyke.

Orphans take Game 1 Morning Star Staff
The R.E. Postill and Sons Orphans collected four unanswered goals in the second period to ice the Westwood Cabinet Flyers 5-2 in Game 1 of their best-of-three Interior Hockey League final Wednesday night at Priest Valley Arena. Kris Glinsbockel opened the scoring for the Flyers by cashing in a rebound seven minutes into the first frame. Murray Vetsch replied for the Orphans later in the first, deflecting Rob Bauml’s shot past netminder Byron Tiggelaar while on the powerplay. The Flyers restored their lead heading into the break when Matt Glinsbockel converted a partial breakaway, beating netminder Jason Silzer.
Jeremy Silzer kicked off the Orphans’ rally early in the second period, tapping home an open net rebound off Bauml’s original shot. “We kind of took control at that point,” said Bauml. “It was a good, hard-fought game, just like you want playoff hockey to be.” A pair of goals by Ryan Kurbis, and an empty-netter by Jamie Johanson, iced the game. “He’s been one of our best players all playoffs, skating hard all the time,” said Bauml, of Kurbis. “And Jason Silzer has been outstanding, he’s been our MVP so far.” Game 2 is slated for Sunday (8 p.m.) at Wesbild Centre, but could change if the Vernon VipersPenticton Vees Interior Conference final goes seven games.
An exciting and varied line with 28 different models and floorplans. These affordable tent trailers have a trailer that fits your lifestyle and budget from entry level to luxury highwall to a double quad hauling tandem axle toy hauler.

KELOWNA – When the Kelowna Rockets were last in the city of Everett, they were down 2-0 and returning to their home rink in desperate need of wins to extend their WHL post-season. Fast forward a week and the Rockets are back in Everett tonight after two exciting victories at Prospera Place brought them even at two games apiece in its best-of-seven WHL firstround series with Everett. The Rockets equalized with a thrilling 5-4 double overtime victory on Wednesday night in Kelowna, following a 5-3 win the night before. Coach Ryan Huska credits the experience of his troops for getting back into the series. “There’s a lot of guys in our room that have been there and understand how hard it is to (win a playoff series),” said Huska, Thursday prior to hitting the road for Everett. “They understand if you’re down two games it’s not the end of the world.” In Kelowna this week, the Rockets did what they had to do: They won their home games after dropping the first two games of the series in Everett. Sparked by two sellout crowds, a goaltending switch and the scoring prowess of Geordie
MARISSA BAECKER/BLACK PRESS
Rockets’ captain Lucas Bloodoff watches a Geordie Wudrick powerplay shot beat Everett goalie Thomas Heemskerk Wednesday night. Wudrick, the Rockets captured momentum in the series, which, one way or another, will be over by Monday night. “We have to try and carry over the momentum from the past two games,” said Huska. “The challenge to our players is to play for a full 60 minutes. Just about every game we have had spurts where we have been great, and times when we have stood around and watched.” Wudrick, acquired Nov. 16 for Stepan Novotny, has been on fire in the playoffs. Three times he has scored twice in a game and now has seven goals in the series, including a wicked wrister a minute into the second overtime period Wednesday night. “I just put it on net and I was lucky it went top corner,” Wudrick told a media scrum following the game. The other central story line for the Rockets is between the pipes where 20-year-old Mark Guggenberger has taken over from Adam Brown. After being inserted in game three following two quick Everett goals,
Guggenberger allowed just one goal on 23 shots. Wednesday it was Guggenberger who allowed two quick goals before settling in and stopping 39 shots en route to his second win of the series. Huska says it will most likely be Guggenberger again in net Friday and fans would be hard pressed not to be fondly recalling last season, when Guggenberger played exceptional in leading the Rockets to the WHL championship and to the Memorial Cup. Following tonight’s game, the Rockets and Silvertips will hit the road and play Game 6 Saturday night in Kelowna. A Game 7, if necessary, would be played Monday night in Everett. Meanwhile, Troy Mick’s Revelstoke Grizzlies doubled the Nelson Leafs 4-2 Wednesday night before 400 fans at the Revelstoke Forum. The Grizzlies led the bestof-seven Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship series 2-1 going into Game 4 Thursday night in Revelstoke. Game 5 goes Saturday in Nelson.

He’s written a stack of books, honed an “expert” reputation in his field and has a United Nations label on his current project — the International Decade “Water for Life” — but Robert Sandford’s true talent is building a simple message. “People will walk across the room and turn off a light to save energy and they’ll let the tap run for five minutes. That is the equivalent of letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours,” he said. Sandford, the keynote speaker for World Water Day at UBC Okanagan, made it clear water is as much a concern for our world, and our country, as peak oil and climate change; in fact, they’re all the same problem. If you understand that energy issues are water issues and water issues are energy issues then the political decisions needed to conserve both —and stem the tide of climate change — really become much clearer, in his mind. But the entire move hinges on avoiding political lobbies which push profit over logic. “We cannot afford to let crucial water issues be hijacked by public relations spin,” he said. “The domain of water resources is not politically neutral.” What Stanford wants Canadians to know is that we’re water pigs. While our popular mythology may peg us as conservers, we’re

really running through our water at an unprecedented rate. Energy and water are intrinsically tied as it takes a tremendous amount of energy to both clean and move our water resources and it takes even more water to create our energy— whether that be hydroelectric or the water used in oil extraction. By and large, the world accepts it’s currently at what’s called peak oil, meaning oil resources are on the decline; but we only have about another decade before we’ve also peaked on the world’s water resources Stanford said. He added it too is about to become a very critical resource in ways most Canadian don’t ever think about. Cities will soon be competing with agriculture not just for land, but for water, he said, as the global population has grown so large it is
poised on the brink of a food crisis. As we eat 70 per cent more than we drink, the water needed to produce food is going to be critical in the future and increasingly more valuable. “Agriculture will become more important to our economy than oil and gas,” Stanford said, noting it too may one day be the source of global conflict. As for the other driving force behind the problem, the controversial little issue which typically steals the media spotlight, Stanford says climate change and our water issues are really the same foe. “Most climate change damage is actually from water,” he said, pointing out it both deluges us during storms as climate change alters our weather patterns and is eradicated from environments that really need it, causing drought.

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.

It’s going to cost more to camp in B.C.’s provincial parks. As a result of increasing operating costs for B.C. Parks, combined with reduced tax revenues to government, Environment Minister Barry Penner says user fees for camping will increase between $1 and $6 for basic sites. Camping fees for basic and moderate sites will increase by either $1 or $2 per night. (Basic sites will increase from $15 to $16 per night, and moderate sites will increase from $19 to $21 per night.) Camping fees in some developed campgrounds will increase by an additional $2 per night (from $26 to $28) and some by an additional $4 per night (from $26 to $30) for highest-demand sites with the highest levels of service. Premium backcountry fees for adults will increase by $5 per night (from $5 to $10) at Garibaldi, Cathedral, Berg Lake (Mt. Robson), Wells Grey, Juan de Fuca, Strathcona, Cape Scott, Mt Assiniboine, Kokanee Glacier and Bugaboo. (Youth ages 13-18 years of age will remain at $5 per night). Backcountry fees in 33 parks, including E.C. Manning, Wells Gray and Tweedsmuir, will remain at $5 per night. Sani-station fees will increase by $3 per use (from $2 to $5 per discharge). The new fee structure marks the first fee increase in two years, Penner said.

Those looking for a creative outlet this spring and summer can find one at the Vernon Community Arts Centre. “Our spring session is beginning with a great selection of classes for both kids and adults,” said VCAC program director Christine Kashuba. The season features a number of new instructors and classes, including Matt Brown teaching drama for both youth and adults, Amber Powell instructing life drawing, River Lewis teaching drawing and contemporary oil painting, Gerard Mulder instructing clay murals and figures, and Joanne Sale teaching block printing. The VCAC, which is run by the North Okanagan Arts Council, also has a full complement of returning instructors, including Tina Siddiqui, Janet Armstrong, Margaret Foster, Melly Oey, Jenny Diller, Terry Dunstan, Patricia Doyle and other. Summer arts camps are also available for those looking for something to do for their kids and themselves. “This summer we are introducing Instant Artifaction for all ages. This is an opportunity for you and your visitors to come and participate in two-hour art sessions where you will learn it, make it, and take it,” said Kashuba. “It’s also an opportunity for you to come and test out something you’ve always wanted to try such as plein air painting, stained glass creations, weaving, fimo sculpture, mixed media or knitting.” All activities, classes, workshops and camps require pre-registration. “We are so excited to be able to offer such a varied selection of artistic adventures for you to come and experience,” said VCAC executive director Lynne Hossay.

B8 Friday, March 26, 2010 - The Morning Star
www.vernonmorningstar.com
Arts Guitar hero is still a legend Continued from page B7 The music is clean, with a strong emphasis on rhythmic guitar work, showing how free-form and fluid Hendrix was. Some of this material is remarkable for being the last studio recordings of the original Experience lineup (Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell on bass and drums respectively), but we really don’t need to hear re-recordings of classics like Fire, Stone Free and Red House. These may have been studio warm-ups that happen to have been recorded. Other tracks by the trio reveal themselves to be transitional demo recordings of songs fully realized and released on earlier albums. These are Ships Passing Through the Night as Night Bird Flying, and Lullaby For the Summer as Ezy Rider, both on the album Cry of Love released in 1971. The familiarity continues on Bleeding Heart, Lover Man, the Cream cover Sunshine of Your Love and Hear My Train ‘a Comin’, which are all Hendrix concert staples also in different form on earlier releases. The only real discoveries are the laid-back instrumental Crying Blue Rain and the title track, which to
the discerning listener, appeared in a section of Hendrix’s Woodstock set as part of an improvisation. That piece of music has been circulated for years (in yet another demo form) amongst connoisseurs, like so much apocrypha as the Gnostic Gospels or Dead Sea Scrolls. But here, Valleys of Neptune is in its re-mixed, nearly complete form, showcasing flowing chordal work and trippy lyrics; an inspired piece of Aquarian soul-rock from the summer/fall of ’69. Would Hendrix have released this album while he was around? Probably not. The last tracks he completed or had in their semifinished state were on the albums Cry of Love and Rainbow Bridge and other versions appear on the live Hendrix in the West. These were also released posthumously, and so that fact should bear consideration also. In the end, there aren’t any new revelations, and the interest in Valleys of Neptune should find favour with Hendrix devotees and fans (like myself), who can even enjoy listening to off-the-cuff stage banter and tune-ups in recorded concerts. But one thing can’t be denied, it’s Hendrix, so it’s going to sound cool anyway.

Making a global connection KATHERINE MORTIMER Morning Star Staff
When students in the Global Education program are asked to pick an Independent Directed Studies project, they are required to identify a community and make a significant difference. In selecting a community, it is suggested that they make their project something that is meaningful for them. For Elmaz Bourcet, there was never any question that her project would involve Romania, the country where she was born and spent the first three years of her life in an orphanage. The Grade 11 student is raising money for Romanian orphanages through New Opportunities for Romanian Orphaned Children (NOROC), a Christian-based program that provides for children spiritually, developmentally, socially and medically. There are currently more than 125,000 children in Romanian orphanages. “It’s a bit tough because I want to make a difference and they told us to do something that we’re passionate about,” said Elmaz. Elmaz discovered the work of NOROC when she began the search for her birth mother. Her search ended by finding not only her birth mother but her brother as well, with whom she has been in contact. “What’s happened is they’re running programs in the area of Romania that Elmaz is from,” said her mom, Jane Bourcet. “NOROC tries to support the system. They get grannies who are retired and pay them to go into the orphanage to love the babies, to cuddle them and for school-age kids, they do activities with them so they have more going on. And the oldest orphanage kids help with the younger ones. “I’ve been really impressed with what they’re doing.” According to NOROC, the problems of Romanian orphanages began with the dictatorship of Nicolae Ceaucescu. One of his goals was to spread communism by increasing the population of Romania to 30 million by the year 2000. Every woman was required by law to have at least four children — a number later increased to five. Families that had less than three children were taxed heavily. Women were monitored regularly for pregnancy, and did not become eligible for birth control or abortion until the age of 45. Meanwhile, most families were living in small apartments and subsisting on meager incomes. Many parents had no choice but to give their babies over to the state. Ceaucescu
The Designers Choice Fan Collection
created state-run orphanages to house the excess children. Orphanages were staffed by the minimum number of people to keep the institution operational, with no consideration given to the developmental needs of the children. Ceaucescu was executed in 1989, ending communism in Romania. Jane said Ceaucescu may be long gone, but it doesn’t mean children aren’t still coming into orphanages. “Birth control is costly, abortions are costly. So what NOROC is trying to do is get the kids out of the orphanage and into foster care. But unless they are planning on paying the folks to be foster parents, it may be more of the same.” Conditions in the orphanages tend to vary depending on the number of aid groups involved in helping. “Elmaz’ brother is receiving support from a Danish family, so the baseline for a Romanian orphanage is still pretty low, and there is no guarantee that he will go to high school, as it’s too expensive. “So they pay for the basics — shelter and food — but it’s pretty minimal.” Jane and her husband have always been open with Elmaz about her roots. Adopted at age three, Elmaz joined her family, which includes the Bourcets’ three sons. “When people would ask me my kids’ names, I guarantee that the second I’d say her name, there had to be an explanation of some kind, as my daughter’s name is much more unusual than my sons’ names,” she said. “It was important to us to keep her name because it’s the name her birth mom gave her.” While over the years Elmaz’ parents have stayed in contact with other families who have adopted children from Romania, the bigger focus over the last few years has been on finding her birth family. For her Grade 12 graduation trip next summer, Elmaz and her mother will make their first trip back to Romania. “Sometimes I just want to go there and take my brother home with me, so it will be hard to see him,” she said. “I definitely get sad when I see what happens to the kids. I’m fortunate to be here. “I’m so excited about going back, but it will be emotional. As much as I’d wanted to avoid meeting my birth family, I’m ready. I haven’t connected with my birth mom, we just know some information about her at this point.” Elmaz came up with the idea of holding a fundraiser at Pepper’s Roadhouse after reading a Morning Star article about the Vernon restaurant and its efforts to provide a space

In the end, I didn’t need to look at my notes because they were great to deal with.” Jane said when her daughter first approached her with the idea of the fundraiser, she was ready to lend her support, and also to begin the planning for a homeland trip. “It can be difficult at times to drum up support depending on what is in the news. Haiti is on people’s minds, and Darfur, and it becomes a bit like child of the month club and charity of the month club,” she said. “But just because Romania isn’t in the news the way it once was doesn’t mean the needs aren’t there. “So if Elmaz is going to put all this time and energy into this, I felt we needed to go back.” Formerly a student at Kalamalka secondary, Elmaz selected Global Ed after hearing
other students rave about the program. “I like helping others and helping the community, and I’ve felt that over the last year, I haven’t been doing as much as I could. “But I couldn’t have done this without all the support I’ve gotten over the years.” Jane is pleased that her daughter is getting the opportunity to see beyond her own community. “The programs and opportunities for kids to be able to give beyond their own community and for the kids to see how things are done elsewhere, to go beyond the Canadian way, it just has to open your mind up. “I’m so proud of what Elmaz is doing, she’s really doing something big. She’s always had a big heart, and she’s always been aware of the bigger picture. It has been cool to make this come together. As a parent you want your kid to succeed and as you watch it unfold and grow for them, you do find that if you set their mind to it, you can succeed.”

A Night of Inspiration for Zimbabwe Morning Star Staff
For Alexis Oner, her dream of holding a fundraising concert is about to come true. The Grade 11 student has organized a Night of Inspiration tonight at Vernon Alliance Church in support of what she calls Project Zimbabwe. As a student in the Global Education program at Fulton secondary, Alexis needed to come up with a project that would have meaning, both for herself and the wider community. “I was originally going to do something for Haiti, but a lot of people already donated to that cause, so after that I wasn’t sure what I was going to do,” she said. “But I had a dream about having a concert.” So when she heard about a project that was helping to build an orphanage in Zimbabwe, Alexis knew this was what she had been looking for. “My mom was at church one day — I couldn’t go because I was babysitting — and heard Angela Yablonski speak about needing money to build an orphanage in Zimbabwe, so my mom suggested it to me,” she said. “The orphanage will house children who have been orphaned due to AIDS and will cost $20,000 in total.” After meeting with Yablonski, owner of the Vernon Curves, Alexis was ready to get started. “I want to do something like that when I’m older, helping children and people in other countries,” she said.
In Zimbabwe, a feeding centre has already been built, where more than 150 children are fed each day. The children attend school in the morning, have lunch at the centre, then receive Bible instruction and practical skills such as planting and growing a gardening. Afternoons are for playing games. The Night of Inspiration fundraiser takes place tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Alliance Church, 260143rd Ave., and features entertainment by Alexis Leibel, Alex Khazen and Sherrie Erickson. There will also be a silent auction. As well, Vernon’s own Sonja Gaudet will be in attendance, fresh from her gold medal win for wheelchair curling at the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver. Tickets are $5 in advance or $8 at the door, or contact Alexis at 250-260-6115 or drop by to see Yablonski at Curves, 2901-27th St.

The March Hare will hurry everyone to order so no one is “late for a very important date.” The Mad Hatter will lead the parade around

Project leads back to Romania Continued from B9 Meanwhile, Elmaz is still mulling over her post-secondary options, but has narrowed it down to two fields: nursing or hairdressing. “I’m leaning towards hairdressing because I like being artistic and it’s a bit like you’re a counsellor when you’re talking to your clients. I’d like to go someplace like Vancouver to work.” For now, though, the 17-year-old is concentrating on her studies while dispelling some of the misconceptions society has about teens. “The biggest thing I’ve learned in Global
Ed is that we have a voice and we can make a difference, we’ve been taught that teens don’t know anything, but I would say we’re the most energetic people out there.” The fundraiser takes place Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Peppers Roadhouse
Restaurant and features a Mexican buffet, live music by Modern Folk and a presentation by Elmaz on the work she is doing for her Global Ed project. Tickets are $20 per person, available at Peppers on 27th Street or by e-mailing Elmaz at elmaz_bourcet@hotmail.com

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Uplift your spirits today by spending some quality time with good friends and/ or family. Good fellowship will be a major contributing factor for making this a better-than-usual day. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Someone who knows your desires will be instrumental in helping you acquire something you’ve wanted for a long time. It isn’t necessarily anything expensive, but something that touches the heart. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Others who are eager to participate in an endeavor you have been proposing are looking to you for leadership. Take the reins today and show them what needs doing in order to pull it off. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Soft lights, sweet music and a secluded nook is all it might take for you and your special someone to have a perfect day. Actually, anything that has romantic overtones could be very appealing to you. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Because you’ll be sincere in your efforts in making others feel important and special today, don’t be surprised if people flock to you. Members of the opposite gender may be first in line.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) All you have to do to get started is have the courage to try something new that may look a bit intimidating to others. Anticipate success and it will not only be fun, but a whirlwind of an experience. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) When collectively aiming for the same target, you and your special someone can make a dynamic team. Focus your efforts and energies on a situation that can yield something big. PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) Motivate yourself to go for bigger and better things today by thinking about things you would like to have in your life, and formulating possible ways of achieving them. Inspiration can work wonders.
YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY In the year ahead an unusual chain of events might motivate you to try marketing a sideline interest of yours that you always thought others would enjoy. Opportunity will be there for you, but you’ll have to be brave enough to make things happen.
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) The key to happiness today is simply enjoying what you’re doing. It won’t matter if you’re working on something special, playing tennis or gabbing with the neighbors, you’ll take pleasure in the moment. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) This could be a very fun day for Sagittarians who are restless and need some excitement in their lives. There’s a good chance you’ll run into an upbeat friend who knows how to have fun.

Bridge by Phillip Alder Novelist Joseph Heller, who died in 1999, said, “We do have a real zeal for laughter in most situations, give or take a dentist.” In yesterday’s deal, declarer could have survived an impressive defense with the aid of a dentist’s coup, removing a defender’s safe exit cards. This deal is another example. You cruise into six diamonds. West leads a low club. What is your plan? The bidding was welljudged. Your two-diamond response and threediamond rebid indicated game-invitational values with at least a six-card suit. North bid hearts a second time to describe his five-five. You offered
three no-trump because you had a club stopper. North continued with four diamonds to announce secondary support and slam interest. You controlbid (cue-bid) five clubs to show that ace. And North jumped to six diamonds. The original declarer won with his club ace, ruffed his second club on the board, played a diamond to his ace, and led another trump, West winning with his king and shifting to a heart. South won on the board and had to get back to his hand to draw West’s last trump. Misguessing, he played on spades, West ruffing the second round. Declarer was unlucky, but after taking the club ruff, he should have cashed
both the spade ace and heart ace. Then he plays a diamond to the ace and a diamond. Whichever major suit West returns, South wins on the board and safely ruffs that suit back to his hand to extract West’s final diamond.

MLA REPORT
wanted to return to the sport they loved. In 1948, the first courses for skiers with a disability were offered. Until the 1970s, ParaAlpine ski races were limited to skiers who could stand or had a visual impairment. The invention of the mono-ski – a seat fixed on single ski – opened the sport to athletes who could sit and ski. Mono-skiing became a medal event at the Nagano 1998 Paralympic Games. Congratulations again to Josh Dueck and all our Paraathletes for proudly representing our country.
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. 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
2244
In addition to $1 million from Own the Podium, sports for athletes with a disability have benefited from support from the Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport, gaming and SportsFunder grants, and 2010 Legacies Now Society, a one-time $40 Eric Foster million investment in sport participation and high performance. Since 2001, the province has invested in a lot of sport and recreation infrastructure across the province, helping all British Columbians be more active and achieve their personal sport and physical activity goals. This infrastructure includes $3.9 million from the Major Sport Facility Program funding to the Paralympic Training and Development Centre in Kimberley, $750,000 from the province for 2010 Legacies Now’s Accessible Playgrounds Project, $2.5 million Let’s Play playground initiative in partnership with the Rick Hansen Foundation, the $12,702 Olympic Paralympic Live Sites grant towards accessible soccer stadium seating in Lake Country, and $15,000 grants to 88 projects through 2010 Legacies Now’s Measuring Up program, which increases access to persons with a disability. Para-Alpine Skiing was developed for disabled Second World War veterans who

ongratulations to Vernon’s own hometown boy Josh Dueck for winning B.C.’s first medal at the Vancouver Paralympic Games. Dueck had an impressive run in the men’s alpine slalom sitting category and won a silver medal. We’re all proud of his achievement at such a big international event on a home stage. This adds to what’s been a fantastic athletic career for Dueck. In 2009, he was double world champion in slalom and downhill and World Cup overall champion in downhill, giant slalom and super combined. Our four-time Para-Alpine champion and former first overall can now add Paralympic medalist to his long list of accomplishments. Youth and disabled sport remains a strong focus for investment for the government of British Columbia and this commitment is a highlight of the recent budget. Supported by the Canadian Sport Centre Pacific/ PacificSport, Josh Dueck is one of the many athletes that has benefited from continuous funding to sport in British Columbia. PacificSport has received $250,000 in gaming grants from the B.C. government this year and the Disabled Skiers Association of B.C. received over $240,000.

A legendary rancher
RANCH TALES
Stratford, Ontario and returned with a bride, Mary Ann Peason. Cawston continued to ranch and was the first choice among the ranchers of the area as trail boss for the numerous cattle drives going east and west on the Dewdney Trail. While the earliest drives were west to Hope and the coastal markets, the 1890s saw regular drives to the new market in the mining communities of the Kootenays. The trail east involved a difficult crossing of the Columbia River at Trail where the cattle had to be forced into the water and headed straight across the wide river. In 1903, Cawston left the area and moved his family to Ontario so his children could receive a better education. Ken Mather is curator at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe Ranch.

ichard Lowe Cawston arrived in the South Okanagan in 1872 to work for his uncle William Lowe, who was in partnership with J.C. Haynes in the cattle business near Osoyoos Lake. Cawston worked for Lowe for 10 years as his ranch foreman and learned the cattle trade from the ground up. Lowe soon recognized his abilities and made him the first choice to be the â&#x20AC;&#x153;boss driverâ&#x20AC;? on frequent cattle drives over the Dewdney Trail between the south Okanagan and Hope. A left-handed crack shot with the rifle, Cawston always maintained that the Ken Mather 1873 Winchester was the best rifle ever made, but he also had a gentle side. Susan Allison, a pioneer in the Princeton area, recalled being woken one night by a gentle tapping at her window. It was Cawston calling her to come outside and witness a glorious display of the northern lights. She sat with Cawston and his cowboys and watched for more than two hours. As she later said â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no sound but the awed voices of the men. It was like a glimpse of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Beauty of the Lord,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we all felt it to be such.â&#x20AC;? Cawston appreciated and cared for the Native cowboys who formed most of the ranch hands in the early days. In 1883, when an epidemic of smallpox raged throughout British Columbia, he received vaccine from the government to vaccinate the Native people of the Similkameen and South Okanagan valleys. When he realized there was not enough to go around, he was forced to use his initiative. He pushed a number of pins through a whisky bottle cork and stuck each one into the pox sore of someone who was already infected. He then inserted the pin into a healthy arm, transferring the infection and effectively vaccinating the man. The result, while not pretty, had the desired effect. Cawston remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all took and had arms as big as their legs.â&#x20AC;? The epidemic passed by the area with no casualties. For his efforts, Cawston received $300 from the government, which he promptly invested in a gold watch and chain. Like many others before him, Cawston worked long enough to be able to afford his own ranch. William Lowe died in 1882 and, in 1884, Cawston bought the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Râ&#x20AC;? Ranch in the Lower Similkameen south of Keremeos. In 1885, he travelled to

B.C. stalled on off-road rules TOM FLETCHER Black Press
B.C. is 30 years behind the rest of the continent to regulate powered vehicles used in its back country, says a provincial group of all-terrain vehicle riders, snowmobilers, ranchers and recreation clubs. “B.C. is the last jurisdiction in all of North America – including Mexico – to have no regulations for off-road vehicles,” the Coalition for Licensing and Registration of Off-Road Vehicles says on its website. “As such, B.C. has seen high amounts of ORV theft, a huge underground network for sales of stolen ORVs and exceptional environmental degradation and property damage.” The coalition has been working with the province for seven years to change that, and it celebrated last November when

The five other fatalities that winter were skiers and snowboarders, who are more likely than snowmobilers to have avalanche safety training and tools. The review panel recommended that B.C. set up an outreach program to educate snowmobilers, similar to what Alberta has done.
