and population growth. “When you stand back and look at the results, ultimately they point to the need for conservation,” said Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. “The reason for this is a merging of some important distinctions in the Okanagan. First, it is a very dry place. Second, we have less fresh water available per person in the Okanagan basin than anywhere else in Canada. And yet, the average Okanagan resident uses more than two times as much water as the average Canadian.” Valley residents use an average of 675 litres of water a day, double the national average. Fifty-five per cent of all water use is for agriculture, while outdoor domestic consumption is 24 per cent. Domestic indoor use accounts for seven per cent, followed by golf

course, commercial/industrial and parks. Cotsworth believes Greater Vernon water consumption is closer to the national average. “Urban areas in Vernon and Coldstream have gone down substantially since the implementation of water meters,” he said, adding that showing people how much water they use has led to conservation. The next step for OBWB is to use the information from the study to focus on policy and planning tools for adaptation to climate change. “Now the work begins to determine what we can all do to protect this valuable resource — from residents being conscious about their water use, to local governments planning for its future,” said said Warwick Sears.

A traffic stop in Saskatchewan has landed a Vernon man in a heap of trouble. The 23-year-old, the lone occupant of a 2010 Ford Fusion, was pulled over on the TransCanada Highway by a member of the Swift Current RCMP Traffic Services for a violation near the community of Waldeck, 15 kilometres east of Swift Current (2.5 hours west of Regina) at around noon local time Friday. “A subsequent investigation led to the discovery of 151 kilograms of cocaine in the vehicle,” stated acting media relations officer Sgt. Brian Jones in a news release. The estimated street value of the cocaine is $6.5 million, and the vehicle was subsequently seized during the investigation. Troy Swanson appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court Monday, charged with one count of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Swanson consented to be remanded in custody until Wednesday, April 7, for his next court appearance in Swift Current. Jones said the investigation is continuing, and with the matter now before the court no further details will be released at this time.

News Broken pipe undermines road Foothills subdivision site of flooding RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Flooding has left a Vernon neighbourhood in clean-up mode. Some time before 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, a water main broke, sending a torrent of water through yards and lifting a 200-metre section of Foothills Drive. “It’s a real mess. It’s quite serious,� said resident Harry Jacobsen, one of the first to become aware of the incident. “I saw water flowing down the road. There was quite a flow.� At one point, the water left the road and travelled across some empty lots, picking up gravel along the way. It eventually encroached on some properties on the south end of Foothills Drive. “We’re lucky we had a trench or it would have got to the house,� said Jen Bond. As the water followed the trench and the low parts of the yard, the lawn was saturated. Mud coats the lawn, making it difficult for Jen and Glenn Bond’s sons to reach their playground. “We will have to make alternate plans or buy rubber boots,� said Glenn Bond. But the most extensive damage occurred to Foothills Drive itself. Asphalt was lifted up and cracked, while concrete curbing was also undermined. “We’re assessing how much has to be replaced,� said James Rice, the City of Vernon’s public works manager. “It’s a significant amount of asphalt.� The flooding created significant transportation headaches for some residents. “There are two houses where they can’t get out of their driveways because the concrete is hanging onto a cliff,� said Glenn Bond. Presently, Foothills Drive is

If the road is deemed to be safe, it may reopen as a gravel surface. As a result of the closure, other roads are being used to access about 50 properties. The Bonds, like other residents, were in contact with their insurance agents Tuesday to try and get any damage repaired. “We have to deal with the yard,� said Jen Bond. Residents are being warned not to look to the City of Vernon for compensation from the water main break. “It falls on the homeowner’s insurance,� said Rice.

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Support for tough new smoke alarm rules is coming from Vernon’s fire department. As of May 1, the B.C. Fire Code will require smoke alarms be installed in all homes and motel and hotel rooms constructed before 1979. “It further stresses the importance of having smoke alarms,” said Lawrie Skolrood, Vernon’s deputy fire chief. “Early warning brings an emergency to the attention of people and they have time to get out.” There are about 800,000 homes in B.C. constructed before 1979. Owners of such buildings can install batteryoperated smoke alarms, rather than connecting smoke alarms to the buildings’ electrical system. Affected homeowners should contact their municipality or fire department to bring their

buildings up to code by May 1. But Skolrood says the department won’t be infringing on private property. “We won’t be going into people’s homes to check for smoke detectors but we will be encouraging people to install them,” he said. Beyond installation, Skolrood insists there is a need for residents to ensure smoke detectors are in good operating condition and batteries are replaced regularly. “It’s about continual education and reminding people,” he said. Presently, buildings built after 1979 are required to have smoke alarms. The new law, according to the Ministry of Housing, will increase public safety and awareness, helping to reduce the health risks and property damage caused by fire in older buildings. “Smoke alarms do save lives,” said Skolrood.

Police ring up alert over scam

What are the admission criteria for Hospice House?

ROGER KNOX

• Clients have a palliative diagnosis with an anticipated prognosis of less than six months.

Morning Star Staff

Vernon RCMP are again urging caution, especially for seniors, over the grandparents phone scam after another local senior was bilked out of more than $2,500. Police say a Vernon senior woman sent money via wire transfer after receiving a call from someone pretending to be a relative who said they were in trouble and needed the money right away for an airplane ticket. Since November, local RCMP have dealt with approximately a half-dozen cases of this type of scam. “It’s predominantly been our seniors getting a phone call from a long lost relative saying ‘I’m in trouble, can you send me money?’” said Gord Molendyk, spokesman for the Vernon RCMP

“We’re asking people to be careful.” — Gord Molendyk detachment. “These people are very good at what they’re doing. They sound so convincing, like it needs to happen right now and they leave the impression that it can’t wait and the money has to be sent out now.” Molendyk said there are a couple of things people can do to avoid being scammed. If a person receives this type of phone call, they should ask the person on the other end a question only the person and the so-called relative would know, something like what school did they attend in a certain grade, or a

favourite teacher. People should also call a family member and ask if they’ve heard about the relative being in trouble. Another red flag is if the caller asks to have the money shipped out by Western Union. “Western Union offices ship money all over the world and I’m not focusing on them, but in our cases, the callers have been predominantly using Western Union to send money,” said Molendyk. “We’re asking people to be careful. Do followup checks before shipping your hard-earned money to individu-

als who are scamming people.” In two cases, the scam was prevented by the help of a bank manager and from a Western Union representative. Both had heard about the scam and stopped a senior from shipping off the money. Asked by a reporter if police knew how the scam artists were getting a hold of people’s phone numbers, Molendyk said he had no idea. “I don’t know how they get the numbers, maybe from a senior’s magazine, I don’t know,” he said. “These people seem to know a little bit about the people they’re calling, but I’m not 100 per cent sure how they know. I know there are agencies who are looking into the scam.” Police have not heard of any cases of the callers phoning back

Prescribed burns planned for Lumby area RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Fire is often considered a risk and something that must be stopped, but it will now be used to restore two areas near Lumby to their natural state. Starting Thursday, the Ministry of Forests will conduct prescribed burns at Woodward Creek and Satellite Hill until May 6. “We’re trying to put fire back into the ecosystem,” said Bernie Kaplun, ecosystem restoration team leader. “Fire is a component of the ecosystem just like sunshine and rain.” The Woodward Creek area fire will cover about 65 hectares, and will take place 20 kilometres west of Lumby and north of Highway 6. The fire at Satellite Hill will cover about 62 hectares, and will take place six kilometres south of the village and south of Highway 6 in the Harris Creek area. Historically, the grasslands and open forests in the Okanagan were renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires prevented tree encroachment, rejuvenated understory plants and maintained more

open grasslands and forests with large trees. However, human-control of the ecosystem and particularly preventing fires from occurring has allowed the grasslands to evolve. “In the absence of fire, trees starting filling those areas in,” said Kaplun. It’s hoped the reintroduction of managed, lowintensity ground will restore the grasslands and open forests. Fire can also improve forage for cattle, deer, moose and other wildlife. The last prescribed burn at Woodward Creek was in the late 1970s or early ‘80s, and changes to the ecosystem are also increasingly noticeable at Satellite Hill. “Around the bigger trees, there’s been the seeding of smaller trees and they’re spreading out into the grasslands,” said Kaplun. Kaplun says everything possible will be done to reduce smoke generated by the prescribed fires. “The burns will be done when the venting allows for the smoke to be dispersed as favourably as possible,” he said. “If the weather is not good, all of this may not happen.”

Truck flips BRENT MUTIS

Over 10,000 sq.ft. of greenhouses to choose from

Morning Star Staff

No one was injured when a truck being driven by a conservation officer in training jumped a curb and flipped on to the grass near the Vernon Army Camp Monday. An obstacle course lined with orange pylons was set up for an emergency vehicle operators course, a requirement for conservation officers. The vehicle, a fourby-four Ford truck with extended cab had just negotiated a turn when the driver lost control. “It was during a co l l i s i o n - avo i d a n ce exercise,” said Sgt. Len Butler, conservation officer with the provincial training sector. “It looks like (the driver) did the correct manoeuvre and somehow lost control of the vehicle which slammed

There was another person in the truck but no injuries were reported. “It looks like the driver and passenger are fine,” said Butler. “The two officers, as a precaution, we got the

ambulance to come and take them to the hospital to have a good check over.” The training course was halted after the accident and other conservation officers in training were sent away from the area. RCMP responded to the scene as well and an investigation into why the accident occurred is ongoing.

Avoiding the blame

I

t’s always easier to pin the blame on someone else than taking the time to look in your own backyard. Case in point is Coldstream council telling farmers to take their complaints over higher water rates to Vernon city hall. “You have the support of the council of Coldstream. You need to raise your concerns with them,” Coun. Richard Enns told Ted Osborn, agricultural community representative, recently. “It’s really the council of the City of Vernon that we need to convince. That’s where some of the pressure should go,” added Coun. Doug Dirk. But what they neglect Richard Rolke to point out is that every time the financial plan — including the nine per cent rate hike — went before the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee or the North Okanagan Regional District board, Coldstream’s representative raised his hand for it. Coun. Gyula Kiss has made numerous comments publicly and on his blog about the negative impact of the rate hike on customers and consumption levels. But when push came to shove, he still voted for farmers and residential customers paying more for water this coming year. When asked about his actions, Kiss said, “Water is only part of the budget. If I am the only one voting against, it’s like I’m grandstanding. You don’t want to do that.” But is it actually grandstanding when you express legitimate concerns on behalf of your-

self and others? Did Kiss not find it unusual that he was raising the concerns of agricultural water customers at the March 17 NORD meeting and then, within minutes, was ensuring the budget was unanimously adopted? Yes Kiss’ one vote wouldn’t have stopped the budget from moving ahead, but it would have sent the message that higher water rates were unacceptable. Taking a stand sometimes means being the odd person out. I also find it odd that Coldstream council is directing Osborn’s concerns specifically to Vernon council when it was the entire 13-member NORD board that approved the 2010 budget, including the higher water rates. The city only comprises three of the votes there. Along with the city representatives and Kiss, the other Greater Vernon politicians that backed the nine per cent hike were electoral area directors Mike Gavinchuk and Mike Macnabb. If questions should be directed towards anyone, it should be the two Mikes who represent the largely agricultural BX, and Kiss, who comes from Rural Living At Its Best. It’s them, not the boys from the big city, who departed significantly from the interest of agricultural customers. And that situation wasn’t lost on Osborn. “Areas B, C and Coldstream went along with it. It leaves a very bad taste,” he said after the March 17 meeting. Ultimately, I’m left wondering if Coldstream councillors have a true picture of what went on at the regional meetings or if they are just trying to dodge the controversy by redirecting the blame.

A study into the Okanagan’s water supply confirmed what many suspected – there’s already a shortage and it looks like it’s only going to get worse. Records show there’s only been two out of the last 10 years when the Aberdeen Plateau snowpack was above average, which, when you do the math, means 80 per cent of the time it’s been below average. If that trend continues, and most predict it will, if not get worse, then all Okanagan residents have to take up the cause of water conservation. Although the adoption of water meters in Greater Vernon has helped the local situation of supply and demand, all communities in the valley should also have them in place. There’s nothing like paying extra for something you used to get for the same price, no matter how much of the resource you used, to get people’s attention. The fact that we live in a semi-desert with a finite amount of water likely should have hit home decades ago, but the situation has only gotten worse due to growth and climate change. That makes it incumbent on all of us to do our part to do more with less. Be conscious of your use of water, inside and outside the home. The Okanagan Basin Water Board is using the information from the study to adapt to the realities of climate change. “We know that the water of the Okanagan basin is at risk,” states Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director. And now we all know and government, agriculture, industry and citizens alike must do all they can to protect this vital resource. The alarm bell has sounded and if we ignore it we are all in trouble.

Save our agriculture

C

ongratulations on an editorial that supports the agricultural industry of our region. The same news item about the difficulties of farm remittance in the Okanagan was also on television news. One of the sound bites used came from the B.C. Legislature where a government minister said that the federal government was at the moment negotiating tariff reductions with the WTO on agricultural products for the benefit of the farmers’ marketing. These agricultural negotiations with the World Trade Organization (WTO) are the main problem, not the solution. The editorial calls for support for the fruit growers asking for “trade actions against nations that dump cheap produce into our country…and creating a regulatory board so that farmers get a fair price.” This of course goes against the supposed intent of free trade in agriculture, but anywhere that free trade has been applied to agriculture it is the large international agribusinesses, based mostly in the U.S. and the EU, who gain and the local population that suffers. Mexico, under NAFTA, is a prime example. Before NAFTA, Mexico was an independent farm producer, supplying its own WILD SALMON It seems the provincial and federal governments aren't concerned about our wild salmon stocks on the West Coast and we the people of British Columbia need to voice our concern as to what is going on. We will lose our wild salmon if government continues to carelessly put farm salmon before wild salmon every time, and believe me they are, on every front. This should be on the front page of every newspaper in B.C. Fred Anhorn SCIENCE OR HYPE? With regards to the “Pesticide bans are necessary” letter. I would like to make some comments and state some facts with regards to this issue. There are more toxins that occur naturally in the environment than what pesticides contain. All of the products that are being discussed in these proposed bans are approved by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PRMA) which

essential needs, in particular with subsistence farming based on a variety of corn production and tomato production. After NAFTA, in spite of the money gains made by the business elites in the “free trade zone” near the U.S. border, Mexico now imports significant amounts of cheap genetically modified corn which is heavily subsidized by the U.S. government. It has driven the subsistence farmers out of work and off their land, into the cities to become cheap industrial labour. The same actions could apply to Canada and the Okanagan agricultural industries. Free trade is not about free trade, but about

is the government body that all insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and other household products must go through to get registration for use. It does have several hundred staff members, many of whom are scientists. Quote below from their website: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cpsspc/pest/index-eng.php “Scientific evaluations are conducted on all pesticides in Canada before becoming available on the market. We determine if they meet our strict health and safety standards and dictate the use instructions and safety precautions on every product label. Our role is to determine if proposed pesticides can be used safely when label directions are followed and will be effective for their intended use. If there is reasonable certainty from scientific evaluation that no harm to human health, future generations or the environment will result from exposure to or use of a pesticide, its registration for use in Canada will be approved.” These products must undergo many scientific trials and tests to

large agri-businesses trying to monopolize global markets, making large profits, all without concern for the local population and their needs. Yes, we could survive without any Okanagan produce at all as there is sufficient global trade for us to eat unripe California strawberries, unripe Florida tomatoes, and feed lot meat stuffed with genetically modified corn. Unfortunately for free trade, and fortunately for us, the best produce is local and supports a significant amount of our population. Rather than negotiating that away to the free trade gods, we should be protecting

prove that they are safe to use, and this can sometimes take years and thousands of pages of documentation. This is documented information available to anyone. The label on any pesticide is a legal document and this information can be found on the PRMA website. On the web, just by keying in the active ingredient of a product, and the words “MSDS sheet”, you will get the documents at your fingertips. The companies that manufacture the products also have the labels and MSDS forms available on their websites. Some people dispute the information on the documents and I ask them, do you not think scientists, chemists, toxicologists, etc ,who spend years going through post secondary education , are not qualified to make the decisions they have made with regards to the safety of a product? I think they are more qualified than most of the people who dispute their findings. Pesticides and other products are

our farmlands and our farm families for our own health - economic, agricultural and personal - now and for the future. Consider the next generation or two when oil prices have skyrocketed as supplies diminish, boosting the cost of fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, and transportation and the world population closes in on nine billion. Not likely we could easily afford to import all our food then. The Okanagan is not sustainable with its current population trends and we will always need to import food supplies. But we need to save our agricultural land, our agricultural families who carry the knowledge, and the crops that can thrive here for future generations to be more able to feed themselves at reasonable cost financially and environmentally. There is nothing sweeter and better than a bowl of Okanagan sun ripened strawberries or raspberries on a hot summer’s day, followed by a feast of locally grown non-genetically modified sweet peaches and cream corn, a grass-fed steak, and some deep dish apple pie made from local apples. Enjoy. Jim Miles

only a problem when the instructions and guidelines that are set forth by the PRMA on a product label are not followed and this usually happens in the hands of non qualified people. Commercial applicators must undergo intensive training to be certified to apply these products in a safe manner as laid out on the label. Education is the key, not a pesticide ban. All the attention this subject has received lately seems to contain only one side of the story and we all know there are two. I am not questioning the ability of the public to vent their concerns, nor am I an expert on this matter, but I would rather present the truth and separate fact from fiction. I want a clean environment and cancer-free world just as much as the next person, but maybe we as a society need to look at a bigger picture. We need to enter into more discussion on this matter rather than take the knee-jerk and emotional approach that could cost people and some families their livelihoods. Ron Pattermann

Gala evening boosts society Morning Star Staff

The second annual Art and Wine Gala was an overwhelming success Saturday. The event at the Eclectic Med raised $62,130 for the North Okanagan Community Life Society. “The attraction of superb food, fine wine and exceptional art proved to be wonderful evening for those who attended,” said Garry Molitwenik, NOCLS executive director. “The art changed the typical scenery at Eclectic Med while the guests displayed such positive energy that flowed throughout the evening.” Pippa Shaw raised the most individual money at $9,500. Auctioneer Al Jefferson raised $6,425 with the wine baskets and $22,100 with the art auction. Heidi Thompson’s Yellow Green Patina sold for $3,000, which was the highest bid for the art. The event included a five-course meal by chef Andrew Fradley, while Maggie Voisey and her staff

“The guests displayed such positive energy that flowed throughout the evening.” — Garry Molitwenik from Gerry O’s Wine and Beer Store put together wine baskets. The funds will go towards programs for adults with developmental disabilities, and particularly further integrating them into the community. “This dream will be achieved by reducing the current over reliance on segregated services for people by exploring and developing more socially inclusive personal lifestyle options and connecting people in the community one person at a time,” said Molitwenik.

Drug house forfeited to Crown Morning Star Staff

A judge has decided that an Oyama house, connected to a marijuana grow operation, should be forfeited to the Crown. The property on Pada Road had been sold prior to the judgement and the proceeds are estimated at about $157,000. “The forfeiture of offence-related property is a judicial measure available on conviction that can effectively hit criminals in the pocketbook, exacting an economic accounting for financially lucrative crimes such as drug trafficking, in addition to more traditional forms of sentencing,” said Cst. Steve Holmes, a media relations officer with the RCMP. On Nov. 3, 2006, police converged on the property and found a marijuana grow opera-

tion situated in an outbuilding. All but 180 plants had been removed prior to police arriving on scene. “Along with the remainder of the plants, police seized growing equipment, and 2.5 kilograms of marijuana from another room

in the building,” said Holmes. “An electrical bypass was also located.” Police arrested 32-year-old Kelly Dennison, who was the owner of the residence, Nov. 4, 2006. She was charged with production of a controlled substance and

theft of electricity. Dennison was ultimately convicted and was sentenced March 22, 2010 to two years on a conditional sentence order. She is to serve her sentence in the community, with conditions including house arrest and curfew.

ASK A REALTOR®

Morning Star Staff

It’s crunch time for a major international resort being constructed in the hills above Vernon. Sparkling Hill Resort is in the final stages of finishing, with only a few weeks left before the opening date of April 30. “The Swarovski Crystal infused building and the unique therapies and treatments of KurSpa will create a significant impression but what makes Sparkling Hill so amazing is the beautiful Okanagan as a destination,” said Hans-Peter Mayr, president. “The activities desk personnel are already creating a data bank of adventures and activities throughout the valley. Our guests will be able to enjoy all of the activities and events the North Okanagan has to offer as part of their Sparking Hill experience.” Adjacent to Predator Ridge, Sparkling Hill Resort has 152 guest rooms and a spa, which includes seven different sauna and steam rooms, aqua mediation, a therapy walking pool, hot tub, and two swimming pools. Hundreds of applications have flooded the human resources department for positions at Sparkling Hill and a partnership with the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy has already been preparing therapists to assist in the offerings of the spa. The interviewing and hiring process for the 125 employees required to open the resort have been in full swing for the last month. “Sparkling Hill is a significant new hotel development in British Columbia and we are proud to have built in the North Okanagan,” said Mayr. “More than 350 trades and craftsmen from the interior of B.C. have worked for the last two years to bring our vision to reality and we are extremely grateful for their dedication and commitment to excellence.”

Dear Realtor Mike, I’m looking at houses on the MLS and a couple of them have wood stoves. How do I know if the stove is functioning safely and what is required for insurance purposes? Answer:

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Usually the insurance industry requires homes with wood stoves to be inspected. This often is done by a person who has been

trained by WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer). This WETT certified person would inspect the stove to see if it conforms to CSA B-365, ULC or other certifying agency’s criteria which would satisfy the insurance company. General inspection and proof of maintenance from the Sellers would also help you to be satisfied of the safe operating condition of the stove and chimney.

The new Sparking Hill Resort, beside Predator Ridge, is slated to open April 30.

Tax News

from Dean Chapple at H&R Block The Disability tax credit is an amount which partially compensates disabled taxpayers for the extra expenses incurred as a result of their disability. For 2009 the amount is $7196 for an adult and is a non-refundable tax credit which is used to reduce tax payable. A larger credit is available for a dependant child under 18. A tip about this credit is that it can be transferred to a parent, grandparent, spouse or anyone else that has claimed the disabled person on their tax return as a dependant. You must have a T2201 (Disability Tax Credit Certificate) completed by your doctor. The Canada Revenue Agency will use this completed form to determine If you qualify for the credit. This credit can be retroactive to the date the doctor states the disability began within a tenyear period. If you think you qualify or have a dependant who qualifies then come in and see our tax specialists who will go over the form and explain things.

Reduction fund open to groups Morning Star Staff

Organizations and individuals wanting to improve the environment are being sought by the North Okanagan Regional District. NORD is taking submissions until April 22 for its $5,000 waste reduction initiatives fund. The fund is for community groups, non-profit organizations and individuals to develop programs, projects, events, processes, technologies, and/or methods to educate the public, promote a product, promote an event, design equipment or develop processes that will reduce waste disposal in the North Okanagan. In 2009, funding was provided to four groups in the North Okanagan; BX Elementary School ($820), Okanagan Landing Elementary School ($2,000), Okanagan Science Centre ($5,000) and W.L. Seaton Secondary School ($1,800). BX Elementary School started a num-

ber of garden plots and established a composting system to deal with organic waste from school lunches. The fund is being used by the science centre to establish an interactive recycling exhibit for its 25,000 annual visitors. Application forms are available at www.rdno. ca and at the NORD office at 9848 Aberdeen Rd. in Coldstream. For more information, call 250-550-3700.

A group of Lake Country residents are trying to keep Terry Fox’s dream alive. An organizing committee for Lake Country’s Sept. 19 Terry Fox Run has been formed. “We’re asking for enthusiastic volunteers, businesses and participants to step forward and help re-establish this exciting family-oriented event,” said Chris Law, with the committee. Chris Law “Our goal this year is to show the immense compassion we have in our community. Let’s work together to make cancer history and see if we can’t make Terry’s dream of $1 per person a reality.”

On April 12, 1980, Fox set out running from St. John’s, Nfld., with the intention of reaching Victoria, B.C., in a cross-country marathon to raise money for cancer research. After running 143 days ,he was forced to stop at the 5,374 kilometer mark, near Thunder Bay, Ont., when the cancer, that took away his right leg three years earlier, spread to his lungs. To date, the Terry Fox Run has raised nearly $500 million for cancer research through annual runs. “The exceptional level of success that the Terry Fox Fun enjoys relies on capable volunteers, supporters and participants who focus 100 per cent of the attention that the run attracts on cancer research,” said Law. Anyone interested in helping with the event can contact Lindsay Wong, Shelley Gilmore and Chris Law at lakecountryterryfox@gmail.com.

The provincial government is considering legislative changes to help make motorcycle riding safer. That comes on the heels of a B.C. Coroner’s report highlighting some recommended safety measures. The coroner’s report follows a death review panel, held 16 months ago, which was called to look into the rising number of motorcycle fatalities in the province. Between 2000 and 2007, 286 motorcyclerelated deaths were reported to the B.C. Coroner’s Service. “It’s clear that with more riders on the road, motorcycle safety is an area where improvements need to be made, and that’s what this government is going to do,” said Solicitor General Kash Heed. The recommendations include requiring mandatory industry certification for all motorcycle helmets, a graduated licence program for new riders, a zero tolerance blood alcohol policy for those new to motorcycle riding and a different coloured licence plate for motorcyclists who hold a learner’s licence. Also suggested was a reevaluation of standards for training schools and instructor certification and expanding the scope of coroner’s investigations involving motorcycle deaths to include more data and compile it in a specific section for better analysis in the future.

Choirs make connection Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s Counterpoint welcomes the Richmond Chorus for its spring concert in a choral connection made through song, mutual respect and family. A World of Song takes place at Trinity United Church in Vernon April 11. The family connection comes through Richmond Chorus member Audrey Fricker, who has sung in the choir for 16 years, and is the mother of Counterpoint president Cynthia Markson. With all the business of the Olympics this spring, the chorus decided that rather than doing its usual spring concert, members would put together a multicultural program and take it out to other communities, sharing with choirs who have been generous enough to host a joint concert, said Richmond Chorus director Brigid Coult. “One of the joys of making choral music together is the chance to share with each other,

with our audiences, and with other choirs,” said Coult. “Coming to Vernon for the concert was an obvious choice. We last visited in the spring of 2000, but the links are closer now.” Numbering more than 80 voices en masse, the two choirs will perform a variety of choral compositions that reflect cultures from around the world, including Africa, the South Pacific, Europe and Latin America. “Counterpoint is very excited to share our music in concert and to have the opportunity to host such a well recognized choir as the Richmond Chorus. The experience of singing in a large mass group, when performing our joint pieces together, will be a very rewarding experience,” said Counterpoint director Coreen Smith. A 65-voice community choir, the Richmond Chorus has shared its talents on numerous occasions in its 24 years of existence. The group maintains a busy

season, performing four concerts a year, two of them with the Richmond Orchestra. At Christmas, the group brings the local choral community together in a fund-raising event called Richmond Sing. National stages have also beckoned. The chorus sang for thousands at the Tall Ships Festival and at Richmond’s Olympic torch relay celebration in February. It also hosted the B.C. Choral Federation’s Chorfest conference in May, 2000, and will host it again this year, bringing singers together from all over the province. In spring, 2006 choir members had the opportunity to sing in New York’s Carnegie Hall under the baton of Coldstream’s own Imant Raminsh. Tickets for the performance are $15 for adults, free for children under 12, and are available from choir members, Shear Dimensions (across from the downtown Safeway store) or at the door. Trinity is located at 3300 Alexis Park Dr.

PET OF THE A rapturous birthday

T

his month the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra turned 50. And on Saturday at the Performing Arts Centre, to a packed house, they celebrated by recreating their inaugural concert. We had not one but three conductors. Music director and conductor Rosemary Thomson first welcomed previous conductor Leonard Camplin, OSO musical director from 1964 until 1996. He conducted Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 (one of 12 so-called London symphonies), usually nicknamed “The Surprise Symphony.” The surprise came in the second (slow) moveJim Elderton ment. Haydn’s music was known to contain jokes, and this is his most famous: the sudden loud chord in the middle of an otherwise quiet opening. The music then returned to its original form as if nothing had happened. Asked if he’d inserted this in order to wake the audience, Haydn said: “No, but I was interested in surprising the public with something new, and in making a brilliant debut. The first allegro of my symphony had already met with countless bravos, but the enthusiasm reached its highest peak at the andante with the drum stroke. ‘Encore! Encore!’ sounded in every throat.” As the opening piece on Saturday, the symphony didn’t live up to its name –– the middle two movements were too slow, and lacked the life that was evident in other pieces performed. Camplin’s second piece, Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze, went much better. There was indeed a beautiful pastoral quality, and it brought to mind the end of a warm summer day with twilight approaching. Thomson conducted L’Arlesienne by Bizet. This had a marvelous narrative quality, and the stirring last movement (generally best known of the four) was enthusiastically received. The undoubted highlight of the evening was George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, composed for piano and jazz band. Band leader Paul Whiteman had asked for a concerto for an all-jazz concert, and Gershwin was persuaded to compose the piece after Whiteman told him that a rival was planning to steal his idea of an experimental concert, and that time was running out. He conceived it during a train journey, inspired by the rhythm of the train: “And there I suddenly heard, and even saw on paper, the complete construction of the rhapsody, from beginning to end.”

GUEST REVIEWER

It opens with the famous clarinet slide, created when Ross Gorman, Whiteman’s clarinettist, played it as a joke in rehearsal. Gershwin was delighted and asked him to repeat it on stage, and to add “as much of a wail as possible.” Doug Sonju, OSO principal clarinettist –– also a jazz performer –– took the glissando in his stride, playing the 17 notes to sound like a continuous slide. Soloist Rolf Bertsch, son of OSO’s founding conductor Willem Bertsch, conducted from the piano, with the Steinway replacing the conductor’s podium, and with him sitting with his back to the audience. It was a bravura performance of a highly tricky piece. The orchestra was outstanding, and the standing ovation was well deserved. Before the final piece, Thomson paid tribute to the Vernon branch of the OSO society (chaired by Mary Lobsinger), for their support with regular and highly appreciated after-show receptions “and especially the devilled eggs.” At this point all former OSO players were invited to join the orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s Waltz (properly titled The Garland Waltz) from the Sleeping Beauty Ballet. Many alumni musicians were introduced, including violinist Meg Crane (now 90), who’d played with the OSO for 26 years until 1993. Thomson dedicated the piece to the audience as “our bouquet to you.” It was wonderfully familiar, excellently played, and made a very satisfying end to the evening.

Arts Whitey will have you dancing

Group Lunch Special

There will be horns a plenty and one heck of a funky beat when Whitey plays The Hangar in the Army Navy Airforce (ANAF) Club Friday. Opening for the Chilliwack by-the -way of Vancouver band is Vernon’s Know Tomorrow and Penticton’s D.F.Y. “This is the third event myself and Know Tomorrow have put on at the ANAF and D.F.Y. has performed along with us each time,” said Know Tomorrow manager Ryan Bouwmeester. “It will be Whitey’s first show on a threeshow Okanagan tour (Kelowna and Penticton April 3 and 4) and this event is being promoted as a dance.” And dance you will. Whitey, which formed in 2001 while members were still in their freshman year of high school, has been charging dance floors and festivals across the country with its horn-based funkadelia since 2005. “Whitey is like jumping out of a hot tub into the snow, then back in to the hot tub,” said Rob McLaren of D.F.Y, which has shared the stage with Whitey on a number of occasions. With an EP, a fulllength album, a documentary/live DVD, as well as a new CD on the way, members Colin Watchorn (bass/vocals), Joe Matheson (guitar/ vocals), Cole Graham

Who says Whitey can’t jump? Catch the Vancouver/Chilliwack band when it stops in The Hangar at the Army Navy Air Force Club Friday with Vernon’s Know Tomorrow and Penticton’s D.F.Y. (trumpet), Mike Kayser (trombone), Bryce Bennett (keys/sax) and Paul Clark (drums) continue to incorporate everything from funk to Latin to blues, drawing on diverse crowds. The band has performed with such artists as Holly McNarland, The Tea Party, DOA, Big Wig, Closet Monster, Stabilo Boss, The Tom Fun Orchestra, Los Furios, The Brat Attack, WPP, The Accident, Cellar Door, Daggermouth, and A Textbook Tragedy, in addition to completing many successful tours spanning both coasts. Upon the release of its forthcoming fulllength album, Whitey plans to continue touring extensively within and beyond Canadian borders, and establish themselves as a staple act in the Canadian festival circuit. Joining them is Vernon’s ever popular Know Tomorrow. Featuring Zach Rossignol (bass), Dylan Cunliffe (acoustic guitar/ vocals), Andrew Malnic (electric guitar), Jen Ventresca (drums), and newest member Jamie

Rudrum (keyboard/ turntable), the band has earned quite the local following since forming in December, 2008. “With a five-song EP in the works, Know Tomorrow is constantly evolving and producing new material,” said Bouwmeester. “The band’s wide range of influences have come together to form a unique sound once characterized as groove rock.” An experiment consisting of four individuals unified to create art and music, D.F.Y. (Decide for Yourself) has been exposing its message to a wider audience by touring, recording and promoting. “Our goal and focus is to bring people together and expose them to ever new and exciting vibration. We make music for people who love music,” said McLaren. Tickets for the dance in The Hangar, 2500 46th Ave., are $10 at the door. (No minors admitted.) Doors open at 8:15 p.m., with D.F.Y. taking the stage at 9 p.m. followed by Know Tomorrow and Whitey.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You can never go wrong trying to do the greatest good for the greatest number. Today, you will have you do just that, and your unselfishness will result in larger rewards than usual for yourself.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Your financial aspects are exceptionally good at this point in time, but where your greatest increases seem to occur is when you’re trying to provide more for those you love the most.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) A big dream of yours might have a chance of becoming a reality today. If it doesn’t happen now, you’ll at least get some kind of indication as to when it might come about for you.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) Because you’ll be able to utter your words in ways that none can find offensive, telling it like it is will win you the respect of others today. People will appreciate that you’re being honest.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) One of the things you’ll do best today is use your powers of observation in ways that will serve your personal interests. You’ll learn something valuable from observing a successful person. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) You’re aware of the fact that if you want something to happen, the motivation must come from within you. Your strong desire to succeed today can bring you that success right now. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Working alone or working with another is equally profitable for you. Today you’ll realize that there is greater strength in union than in going it alone, so you’ll team up with the right person of your choice. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) There’s a good chance someone will want to hire you for your talents or services today, but don’t underestimate what you’re worth. Make sure that you dictate the terms. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Synchronize your efforts with another on a one-on-one basis to better handle that big project you have going. You don’t need a big team, just one good competent ally to work with. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Because you instinctively know how to inflate others’ egos today, you’ll be a delightful companion to have around. By making folks feel good about themselves, you’ll help yourself be accepted. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) The major reason you’ll have such a strong influence over your peers today is the trustworthiness you project in yourself. Continue to offer this security.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) Both your reasoning and intuitive faculties can help advance your personal interests today. When you blend the two together, you develop a persona loaded with huge advantages and pluses.

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY As you develop a greater belief in your talents and abilities in the year ahead, you will grow stronger and stronger and be able to accomplish far more than you ever have previously. Utilizing your gifts upgrades your entire approach to life.

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.

New Patients Welcome ABERDEEN DENTAL Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder There are deals in which one player has a very strong hand, yet he hears his opponents bid to a high level. Should he double the final contract, or assume they know what they are doing? The answer depends on his assessment of his opponents. Unless they are beginners, they surely have distributional hands, and some of his honors will be ruffed away. In this deal, East was looking forward to big things with his 21-count. But South opened one spade (definitely correct -- that hand is too strong for a weak two-bid) and North raised to two spades. Having no alternative, East made a

takeout double. Now South, with only a six-loser hand (two spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club) made a game-try with three clubs. North, who had an absolute maximum (nine points, four trumps and a useful club honor), jumped to four spades, which East doubled in a fit of pique. (The French word for spades is pique.) West led the heart 10. East took the trick and shifted to the spade king. South, confident that the diamond finesse was not working, won with his spade ace, played a club to dummy’s king, ruffed a heart in his hand, and cashed his top clubs. When they divided

3-3, declarer discarded dummy’s third heart on the fourth club. East threw a heart, but South now led a trump, giving East the lead. After taking his two trump tricks, East could either lead a diamond away from his king or concede a ruff-and-sluff.

Success for 6 earns reprieve the time the opposition raised the issue there had already been progress made. “I have to say I’m hopeful, I’m feeling very confident actually, that we can locate sufficient funding to allow them to continue,” Polak said. “But in fairness it would be on a more limited basis.” The children’s ministry already offers programs such as Parent Child Mother Goose in some communities where Success by 6 isn’t involved, and new direct programs are filling the need for early childhood education, she said. “It’s important to get a sense of proportion here,” she said. “$2.5 million, while it

will have an impact, while we wish we could provide them with the whole amount, let’s not mistake this for somehow eliminating a large part of our framework for supporting children.” B.C. Auditor-General John Doyle reported in 2008 that one in four B.C. children is “developmentally vulnerable” when beginning kindergarten, and one student in five is not completing high school in the expected time. B.C.’s overall literacy rate is one of the best among provinces, but 17 per cent of workingage people have difficulty reading and another 23 per cent have limited literacy skills.

A United Waysponsored family literacy program facing the loss of its $5 million annual provincial grant is getting a second chance from the B.C. government. Opposition MLAs questioned Children and Family Development Minister Mary Polak last week after finding that Success by 6 had been told it would lose half its grant this year and the other half in 2011. Run by the United Way with support from B.C. credit unions, Success by 6 has coordinators around the province. It funds community projects such as Parent Child Mother Goose, an early reading project, and supplies for day camps, parent-child drop-in centres and family festivals, many in small communities. NDP critic Maurine Karagianis told the legislature the program is not expected to survive the loss of its provincial grant. “By walking away from Success by 6, the

B.C. Liberals are leaving more dollars on the table in matching grants and in-kind partnership than they’re saving,” Karagianis said. “Nice business case.” Polak replied that B.C. is spending $43 million this year for 300 StrongStart early learning centres, and another $58 million to implement full-day kindergarten for five-yearolds. In an interview, Polak said the ministry is meeting with Success by 6 organizers to find ways to extend its grant funding beyond next year. A $2 billion drop in revenues to the province means there isn’t money left over for grants as in previous years, but by

Vernon Vipers’ Braden Pimm (right) and Penticton Vees’ captain Denver Manderson battle for puck control during Game 7 of the BCHL Interior Conference playoffs Saturday at the Penticton South Okanagan Events Centre. Vernon won 4-1 to win the series.

Vipers return to Cup final GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff

The Powell River Kings want to make team history. The Vernon Vipers want to continue a trend. The Kings have advanced to the B.C. Hockey League’s Fred Page Cup final four times since 1991, but have yet to claim the crown. Vernon has ushered them out three times (twice as the Lakers), including last year’s 4-2 best-of-seven series win. The Vipers advanced to final by icing the Penticton Vees 4-1 in Game 6 of the Interior Conference final Saturday night at South Okanagan Events Centre. This will be the Snakes’ 10th trip to the dance since 1996, earning titles in 1996, ‘99 and ‘03. The Kings stunned the Alberni Valley Bulldogs by swiping the final three games of the Coastal Conference final, capped by a 3-0 shutout in Game 7 Saturday night at Weyerhauser Arena in Port Alberni. Games 1 and 2 of the Fred Page Cup go Friday and Saturday night at Wesbild Centre, after which the series heads to the Sunshine Coast for Games 3 and 4, Monday and Tuesday respectively at the

Powell River Recreation Centre. The Kings have eight returnees from last year’s Coastal championship team, and similar to that roster, they have a top-heavy offence with three of the top-four playoff scorers – Daniel Carr (24 points), Matt Garbowsky (24 points) and Mat Bodie (22 points) rank second to fourth respectively. The Vipers have 14 Royal Bank Cup veterans. Kellen Jones, with 12 points in 12 games, is the top sniper for Vernon, who have played four fewer games than the Kings. “They’ve obviously got scoring up front and a hot goalie (Josh Watson). They’ve been there before and they’ll be eager to turn the tide,� said Vipers’ assistant coach Jason Williamson. “We build a team for a seven-game series, and whenever you can do that, it’s going to benefit you. We roll our lines and everybody gets the ice time.� Despite a 26-point gap between the two teams in the regular season, things have tightened up in the post-season. They share identical goals for (3.80) and against (1.90) averages.

“We have a lot of new faces so we don’t have the continuity they (Vipers) have,� said Kings’ head coach Kent Lewis. “We can skate and we’re a tough club. You gotta have fun at this time of the season. It’s all about attitude and expectation and you play hard and build on experience.� Blessed with a strong defensive core, led by Bodie (captain) and 20-year-old Darcy Huisman, the Kings beat the Dawgs without sniper Jordan Grant for three games. “It’s a little of everything,� said Lewis, when asked if Grant was being bench for discipline reasons. “He had some health issues. There are lots of rumours out there. Let’s just say it’s a closed-door issue. He’s day-to-day.� Graeme Gordon has been rock-steady in the post-season, leading all keepers with a 1.49 goals against average, and .940 save percentage. Watson, who has been the Kings’ go-to guy, is right behind him at 1.94 GAA and .921 save percentage. In the special teams department, the Vipers hold the advantage on the penalty kill, stopping all but two of 36 powerplays.

Last week, Vernon’s Stefan Schneider was wondering where he might get a tryout for pro hockey next season. Set to graduate from the Western Hockey League Portland Winterhawks, the 6-foot-4, 206-pound centreman didn’t think he had a lot of options. Until one landed in his lap Monday. Schneider, who had career-highs of 12 goals, 11 assists and 23 points this season, has signed an entry-level contract with the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks. The 20-year-old says negotiations were wrapped up just two days after the Canucks originally contacted him. “It was pretty crazy because of how fast it came,� Schneider told The Morning Star as he rode the bus to Spokane with the Schneider Winterhawks for Game 7 of their first-round WHL playoff series with the Chiefs, which goes tonight. “It wasn’t a process like I knew what was going to happen. They (Canucks) said they’d been watching me all season, and I guess they must have liked what I’ve been doing. “This is great because it (my play) has never really been noticed before. If anything it helps because it adds that much more excitement to hockey. It’s also a kind of relief to know that that’s (contract) there.� Schneider, one of just two Winterhawks to play all 72 regular-season games, serves as an assistant captain and has developed into a solid-two way forward after starting his WHL career on defence. “I was a defensive defenceman to start out with... hanging back and playing in the corners down low. I guess they saw that potential in me to be a shutdown centre.� Schneider, 20, won several team awards this season, taking home the Bill Anderson Memorial Trophy for Sportsmanship & Ability for the second straight season, as well as the Robert R. Boss Memorial Best Defensive Player Award. He also shared the Scholastic Player of the Year Award with Seth Swenson. On the team website, Winterhawks’ GM/head coach Mike Johnston said: “Everyone with the Winterhawks organization is extremely proud of Stefan, and excited about this opportunity he’s earned with the Canucks. He has worked extremely hard to become one of the league’s top defensive forwards.� Schneider will finish his three-year WHL career with regular-season totals of 23 goals, 20 assists for 43 points in 175 games with Portland and the Vancouver Giants. He was unsure of where the Canucks would direct him following the Winterhawks’ playoff run.

All-Stars settle for draws Morning Star Staff

The ’99 Silver Star Vernon All-Stars battled the Kelowna Heat to a pair of weekend ties in spring rep hockey action. Austin Caldwell and Jason Shaigec assisted on Dawson Mayes’ goal in the second period Saturday in Winfield. On Sunday, the two teams faced off at Priest Valley Arena and drew 3-3. The All-Stars outshot the Heat 40-23 and opened the scoring with Mayes converting a Connor Johnston pass. Austin Caldwell’s unassisted goal late in the period put the All-Stars ahead by two. The Heat responded and moved ahead by one until Caldwell

put in his second late in the second. Riley Swiscoski and Mayes assisted on Caldwell’s third goal late in the game. The All-Stars bowed 3-2 to the Okanagan Selects last Wednesday night at Winfield Arena. The Selects were up by two before Samuel Eggert’s point shot was tapped in by Trajan Boyd. Boyd earned his second goal late in the third period assisted by Eggert. Ethan Huizinga and Conor Webb combined to stop 25 shots. Meanwhile, the Vernon Royal LePage Renegades open the 42nd Tim Hortons Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament this afternoon against the Chilliwack Bruins.

The Blue Ice reached the final after getting seven points from Lawes in a 13-6 win over Forest Heights Stars of Calgary.

Orphans rule Morning Star Staff

Two teams who are a work of art on the art of work. Two teams nobody thought would ever end up in the Interior Hockey League bestof-three championship series. They skated until they dropped again Sunday night and needed a shootout to decide things with the ninth-place R.E. Postill & Sons Orphans claiming their first-ever IHL title 3-2 over the seventh-place Westwood Cabinet Flyers at Wesbild Centre. Grady Gare beat Flyers’ goalie Byron Tiggelaar five-hole to give the Orphans a 2-0 series win. Orphans’ goalie Jason Silzer only allowed one shootout goal – to second shooter Matt Glinsbockel – stopping Rick Galvagno, Taylor Shaw, Corey Massie and finally, Kris Glinsbockel. “It was only fitting that Silzer stopped the last shot of the season for us,” said 18-year IHL veteran Rob Bauml, who used a deke to beat Tiggelaar and extend the shootout in round three. “Silz was outstanding and for sure was our playoff MVP. They worked hard to come back twice in a good, physical game. Neither team has any real superstars. It was two hard-working teams with great goaltending.” The Orphans went up 1-0 at 12:42

of the first period when defenceman Joe Dolling drilled a slapshot in off the post. The Flyers, who are off to Las Vegas this weekend, equalized early in the final period when Paul Saunders onetimed a pass from Massie. Manish Bhatt also drew an assist. The Orphans went up 2-1 when Jamie Johannson fired a shot along the ice after a scramble, taking a feed from Chris Bradford. Westwood tied it three minutes later when Shaw wired a slapper. The Flyers outshot the Orphans 32-22. Each team took three minor penalties. Ryan Kurbis missed the net, while Dolling and Bradford were stoned by Tiggelaar in the shootout. “I gotta say it was a great three games (clipped Sutton Acadians 5-4 to reach final) we had, all which were really close,” said Tiggelaar. “I know the last two were the ones that mattered but that was the first appearance for the Flyers in the finals but not the last. The Orphans played great as a team and Jason Silzer played incredible. I thought we had them in the shootout but they hung in there and got me. The games were not dirty at all and were tight checking the whole time. They have a great bunch of guys on their team, and we love playing them. We had a great playoff run.”

Tyson Barrie (left) and the Kelowna Rockets will now meet Brendan Shinnimin and the Tri-City Americans in round two of the Western Hockey League playoffs., starting Friday night in Kennewick, Wash.

Guggenberger Game 7 guy WARREN HENDERSON Black Press Sports

Most of the hockey world viewed the Kelowna Rockets as decisive underdogs in their opening round playoff series against the Everett Silvertips. But with 100 more man games of playoff experience under their belts, the Western Hockey League champs proved that regular-season numbers can mean next to nothing. The sixth-place Rockets bucked the odds this week by knocking off the thirdplace ‘Tips in seven games to move on to the second round of the WHL playoffs. Mark Guggenberger made 40 saves to backstop the Rockets to a 2-1 seriesclincher Monday night at the ever-hostile Comcast Centre in Everett. Kelowna will now take on the Tri-City Americans in the Western Conference semifinal beginning Friday night in Kennewick, Wash. The Rockets, who finished 11 wins and 21 points behind Everett during the regular season, rebounded from a 2-0 series deficit to win their fifth straight WHL playoff series dating back to last May. Head coach Ryan Huska said a finally-

healthy Rockets squad never once felt overmatched by the ‘Tips. “At the beginning of the series not a lot of people gave us a chance against Everett,â€? said Huska. “But we didn’t feel like we were an underdog at all. Earlier in the year we had so many problems with injuries, we probably would have finished a lot higher had we been healthy. The guys were confident all along and that’s why they didn’t sway when we got down in the series. “In the end,â€? added Huska, “our guys were able to draw on their experience and I think that’s where we had a leg up on Everett. It comes down to understanding how hard it is to win and a lot of our guys have experienced that.â€? On the subject of experience, the Rockets called on the 21-year-old Guggenberger to carry the load after replacing Adam Brown early in Game 3. Huska said the 6-foot-3 Minnesota native was at his best in the series clincher on Monday. “We challenged Mark to be our best player on the ice and he was by far,â€? said Huska. “We wanted him to make sure he was the difference‌he was very good for

us and a big reason we’re in the second round.â€? On the offensive side of the ledger, Tyson Barrie was his usual productive self leading the Rockets with two goals and nine points in the series. Forward Geordie Wudrick enjoyed the most prolific goal-scoring outburst of his WHL career with eight goals in seven games. The Rockets, however, will take little time to savour their success as they battle the No. 1 seeded Americans this weekend in Tri-City. The Ams, who are fresh of a six-game series win over the Chilliwack Bruins, topped the Western Conference in goals this season with 272. “They have very good speed and a lot of skill on that team,â€? said Huska. “We’ll have to find a way to slow them down and limit their chances as much as possible.â€? ROCKET SHOTS‌Games 3 and 4 go Tuesday and Wednesday night at Prospera Place...Barrie is the WHL’s player of the week. The 18-year-old Victoria native scored two goals and added five assists in the first six games of Kelowna’s firstround playoff series with Everett.

The Kings have allowed 12 goals on 60 attempts (80 per cent). Connecting at 26.14 per cent, Powell River has an edge on the powerplay, with Vernon trailing at 22.64 per cent. Saturday night in Penticton, the Vees played with desperation early on, with Eric Filiou earning the opening goal at 4:05. Viper d-man Dan Nycholat (second star), using David Robinson as a screen, beat netminder Sean Bonar (26 saves) with a powerplay point shot less than two minutes later. Williamson says the momentum started to shift after that. “They pretty much carried the play until they scored that goal,� he said. “After that, we started to outshoot them and get good offensive zone pressure. Vernon’s Mike Collins picked off a pass and set up Braden Pimm (third star) for a shot on his off-wing to complete the first-period scoring. Robinson, tipping Adam Thompson’s point blast, and Connor Jones, burying a cross-crease pass from Kellen, completed the scoring midway through the third frame. Both goals came on the powerplay, as Vernon went 3-for-4 and Penticton was scoreless in three attempts. “Special teams was huge. For whatever reason, we got some bounces and we killed some penalties. It all comes from momentum.� Gordon backstopped Vernon with a 29-save, first star showing. SNAKE BITES: Viper grad Aaron Volpatti, who signed with the Vancouver Canucks last week, made a stellar pro debut with the Manitoba Moose Monday night. Volpatti scored once and won a fight with Logan MacMillan as the Moose iced the Abbotsford Heat 5-2 before 6,505 AHL fans at the Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre.

Program leads to employment CARA BRADY Morning Star Staff

Sometimes the barriers to employment can seem too hard to overcome. Youth who have not finished high school, have disabilities, drug or alcohol problems or who are homeless can get the help they need to move on to independence and get paid for it through the Employ program. The program, formerly Trades Work, now in its sixth year, is for youth 15 to 30 who face any kind of barrier to employment, with some qualifications. They are paid to take the seven weeks of classroom work and 210 hours of work experience with local businesses. “The program allows the youth the opportunity to discover their strengths and develop awareness while learning skills that will serve them in many areas of their lives,” said Angie Fisher, employment counselor/job coach. Program manager Dave Rossi said community support is the key to the suc-

cess of the program which has had more than 300 participants, male and female, in about equal numbers. “Local businesses help us with the work experience placements and we work closely with the school district Alternative Learning Program to help participants finish high school,” he said. “We are trying to build thoughtful youth which will help them in whatever they do and we do that in creative ways with a variety of presenters, acting classes, workshops on non-verbal communication and role playing and team building.” The participants are matched with tutors to encourage them to go back to school or to study while they are working. There is mentoring available to participants after they finish the program and are in school or working and they have access to continued support through Connections. Program facilitators are always happy to hear how youth are doing after they finish the program.

“They make comments like, ‘It’s given me a different way to think and helped me be more open-minded,’ About 80 per cent of them go on to school or work and are successful,” said employment counselor/ job coach Mike Champigny. “I had one guy come back and tell me he remembered talking about cognitive dissonance and now he wanted to learn more about it. Things like that show how we can affect the youth, it’s not always immediately apparent.” The Employ program received the 2010 Organization Career Development Award of Excellence Employee Program from the B.C. Career Development Association. The Employ program is run through Community Futures North Okanagan and funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada/Service Canada. The next intake is May 3. For more information call 250-545-5705, see www.connectionscentre.ca or drop in to 3309C-31 Ave., Vernon.

The future is now

W

hat is the CT in CT Scan? A. Most of the folks in the Vernon PC Club are on the up side of 50. They enjoy using computer technology to send and receive e-mail, browse the Internet, tweet, socialize and perhaps utilize other apps to pursue specific interests. It occurred to me recently while I was undergoing a diagnostic procedure involving the use of Computer Tomography Vernon PC Users’ Club (that’s the CT in CT Scan) that probably not many of us of any age realize the extent to which computer science is to be found in today’s medical science. Remember Star Trek’s Dr. McCoy whose main diagnostic tool was an on-board, non-invasive body scanner that told him all he needed to know about what ailed his space-bound patients? Well, we are not far off from that capability becoming a reality. There

COMPUTER QUESTION

is now software utilizing digital X-ray images taken from various angles to construct 3D, live pictures of our internal organs; software to interpret ultra-sonic energy bouncing off a fetus in the womb or a heart in a chest; and software to integrate dissimilar technologies like those found in nuclear medicine with CT and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans to provide medical diagnosticians with invaluable insight to the human body. These are only a few examples, but far from the least in importance, as President Obama so often points out, are the software systems needed universally to consolidate and normalize medical records. We reap the benefits of digital technology in so many ways that make our lives better and longer. If this trend continues, most PC Club members will soon be on the far side of 80; those younger are too busy with less sedentary activities! The Vernon PC Users’ Club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in the cafeteria. Call Betty at 542-7024 or June at 549-7221 for more information.

The walk (hike) will leave April 2nd from the Ashton Creek School parking lot at 8:00AM SHARP. Wear layers of clothing for your comfort and please plan to stay with us for a potluck brunch after the service. Rides will be provided for those requiring assistance. Bring with you all loved ones, friends and neighbours! Also dogs are not permitted on the walk.

For the record

In celebration of Easter

aster Sunday is only four days away and for many the main entrée will be a baked ham, although I’m sure there will be many meals of turkey and ham, more of lamb and maybe for some, seafood. Hams can be glazed with fruit juices and brown sugar or mustards and other spices along with fresh fruits. The second most popular food served at Easter is a great variety of breads and buns. Bread recipes vary depending from what country a Canadian has come from. Some are very fancy, braided, spiced, filled with whole eggs, etc., and all are full of special flavours. Hot cross buns are the favourite bun served nationally, followed closely by a huge variety of cinnamon buns and sticky rolls. Today we have a nice orange glaze for a ham and a puff pastry sticky bun for you to try. It’s not the Hawaiian

electric mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the 12 tbsp. butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly among the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture. Lightly flour a wooden board or counter surface. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry with folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with half of the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, 1-1/2 tsp. of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the raisins. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2-inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces,

each about 1-1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 buns. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch. Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and pecans out onto the buns with a spoon), and cool completely.

When you’re spring cleaning this year, be sure and save your unwanted items and help animals in need. The BC SPCA’s Vernon & District Branch is holding its second annual HUGE Garage Sale fundraiser on May 1 and the shelter is desperately looking for donations of quality saleable items to help raise money for the local shelter animals. “Last year’s sale was a huge success – we raised $5,000, all of which stayed right here in Vernon to help the animals,” says branch manager Maureen McEwan. “But we’re short on items this year, and that’s going to make an impact on the money we can raise.” The branch is looking for donations of small, working appliances, tools, dishes and dishware, furniture, artwork, frames, books, home décor items, children’s toys, garden tools and equipment, camping equipment and musical instruments. Not accepted are waterbeds, clothes, mattresses, cribs, baby walkers, car seats, highchairs, magazines, household chemicals and outdated or obsolete computers and computer accessories. Items can

be dropped off Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., or call 250-549-7297 to arrange an appointment. Last year, the Vernon SPCA cared for more than 1,000 animals. The numbers of animals entering the shelter continue to increase each year, and with no government funding to help support the cause, events like the garage sale are increasingly important. The HUGE garage sale will be held at the Wesbild Centre at 3445-43rd Ave. on May 1 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit spca.bc.ca/vernon for information and for other ways on how you can help the animals. The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by public donations whose mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.

Model railroads take to the train track Morning Star Staff

Model railroad enthusiasts are gearing up for the National Model Railroad Association’s big event this weekend. The Salmon Arm Model Railroad Association will be hosting the NMRA 7th Division of the Pacific Northwest Region annual Spring Meet (Shuswap Rails 2010) at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort & Convention Centre Friday and Saturday. “The last time the club held this event was the Easter long weekend of 2000,” said Ed Parsons, with the club. “At that time it was an astounding success, and we are hoping for an even greater response this time. There will be something there for all ages, including layouts from the Shuswap Area, Kamloops, Merritt, and Chilliwack.”

Also included will be a layout made from Lego. There will be vendors from all over, so if anyone is interested in getting started in model railroading and creating your own miniature world, or if you are already in the hobby, there will be some great deals, and all your questions can be answered. Door prizes will be drawn every hour and every paid member of the public will be eligible. The event is at 251 Harbourfront Dr. N.E., Salmon Arm, and runs Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. Admission: adults, $7; seniors and children four to 12, $5; family of four, $20; children under four, free.

Planting for the zone

I

had a call recently from a lady who purchased a clematis plant about three years ago. Her complaint was that it has never bloomed. After a discussion on where she bought it and what kind of information she was given, I feel she was given some very bad information. There are three types of clematis: type A, type B and type C. Type A blooms on yearold wood and is really useful at the Coast where temperatures are not as severe. You do not cut these down in the spring and it seems that is what she has done. The type C is the best one for the interior of B.C. It blooms on new wood and in the spring you can cut down the upper part of the plant, removing the brown winter-damaged part. It will produce new growth that will be in bloom on the new growth very early in the summer. My guess is that she was sold a type A and given the wrong information on how to take care of it. This is the first time since I began gardening in the interior that I have crocus blooming on March 17. I talked

to a fellow who keeps extensive records on his garden and he claims that crocus blooms are often seen as early as April 6 to 10, but not in March. Okanagan Gardens and Roses is doing a pruning demo on the rose garden at the

Hospice House garden on March 28 at 1 p.m. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Okanagan Gardens and Roses meets April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Schubert Centre. We have an interesting program planned. Visitors are always welcome.

Commencing on April 12th, 2010 the public works department will be going door to door in your neighborhood to chip your pruning’s and tree branches. We will be in Stepping Stones and Udy subdivisions on April 12th & 13th, 2010, and in the McLeod subdivision on April 14th & 15th, 2010. In exchange for this FREE service the Township requests that you; 1. Neatly stack the material adjacent to the roadway with the butt ends of the material facing the street (approximately 3 feet from the edge of pavement). 2. Ensure that the material does not exceed 5 inches in diameter. 3. Do NOT include any material containing nails or other metal components. 4. Do NOT tie the material with wire. 5. Have your material by the road side prior to the dates mentioned for your area as we will only be by your residence ONCE. 6. That you will respect the environment of your neighbors and not burn any unwanted materials. You can contact the Armstrong - Spallumcheen landfill at 250-546-6474 or the Regional District of North Okanagan office at 250-550-3700, to find what alternative disposal methods are available to you. For more information on the ‘Chipping Program’ please contact the Township Office at 250-546-3013 or 1-866-546-3013 (toll free). If you want the chips please advise the Township.

he North Okanagan Hospice Society Finding My Way, Coping with Grief program helped Ken Richardson (right) learn ways to deal with the death of his wife. “When my wife died, I didn’t know what to do, where to turn,” said Richardson, whose wife died last year after 40 years of marriage. “When I went to the group, I learned I was not alone, that there were other people who had grief even though they were experiencing it differently. It was important for us to listen to each other and try to understand each other. Some people will try to tell you that you should be ‘over it’ after a certain time but you have to understand where you are and accept that and it’s good to be with other people in a group and talk about how they are getting through the stages.” The eight-session program runs April 7 to May 26, with morning and evening sessions to accommodate different schedules. The cost is $50, and pre-registration is required. For more information, call grief counselor/ group facilitator Leigh Van Dyke at 250-503-1800 or see www.nohs.ca for more information.
