Track revs up venue Black Press
What was once Vernon’s Sun Valley Speedway now has a new name, a new look and a new vision. The MotoPlex Speedway and Event Park, located 10 kilometres north of Vernon on Highway 97, has plans to become the B.C. Interior’s largest outdoor racing event and concert venue. “This year will bring the best line up of car and truck racing events ever seen in the valley, plus the launch of MotoPlex MusicFest, an incredible outdoor music festival May long weekend,” said MotoPlex general manager Bob Newcombe at a press conference in Kelowna Thursday.
Newcombe said the owners of the speedway, Okanagan Aggregate, felt after one year of owning the race track that the site held more potential than was being exercised. As a concert venue and with nearly 20 acres of land available for camping, Newcombe said the speedway has the potential to become a more multi-purpose entertainment facility, without sacrificing the racing aspect. “Our event schedule basically runs from April until September, so we need to have events for 12 days each year to be profitable,” he said.

sponsors of A&W and Canadian Tire behind it,” said Newcombe, adding sponsors such as A&W and Pepsi have committed to a longterm agreement with the speedway. The event park’s inaugural all-day music festival will take place
May 22, and will feature B.C. rock/hip hop bands Marianas Trench, Swollen Members and GOB, joined by other local bands from Vernon, Kelowna, Armstrong and Kamloops. The MotoPlex site is ideal, says Newcombe, as it features a large
space for camping which will be opened up on the Friday night. Food concessions, and licensed areas will open on the Saturday. While the venue will be able to accommodate a crowd of up to 20,000 for a concert between the grandstand and the
race track infield, the May long weekend concert will sell only 2,500 tickets. The hope from there is to sell more tickets for each subsequent event as the quirks get ironed out, ranging from security to traffic site access off the two-lane Highway 97. The July 1 and September long weekend planned concert show performers have yet to be announced, Newcombe added, although he hinted at a big name Canadian performer being sought for the September show in hopes that performer will attract people attending the Interior Provincial Exhibition in Armstrong. Tickets for the May 22 MusicFest are on sale now at TicketWeb. ca, and cost $49.99 per person for the day, with family packages and overnight camping available.
Agricultural water rates given slight increase ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
There’s a sprinkling of good news for area agriculturists. Following a presentation by board agricultural representatives Ted Osborn, Jamie Kidston and Tom Ouchi, North Okanagan Regional District directors voted in favour of a 2.5 per cent water rate increase for agriculturists. The move comes after a Greater Vernon Advisory Committee recommended NORD approve a nine per cent water rate increase for all water users. “This provides some surety to agriculture on what its rate structure will be looking like into the future,” said Osborn. Speaking for the trio, Osborn provided a history lesson.
“This provides some surety to agriculture...” — Ted Osborn He noted a Master Water Plan was developed by the North Okanagan Water Authority, the pre-cursor of today’s Greater Vernon Water Utility, when it became clear that future system development needed to incorporate the separation of domestic and agricultural water. Financial models developed which then predicted the schedule of agricultural and domestic
rates that would be necessary to successfully fund the future development of the water system to effectively meet the water needs of all water users covered in the region. Osborn said agricultural water rates have increased almost exactly as perceived in the Master Water Plan. “The agricultural water users were under the clear impression

their rates would increase by the cost of living,” he said. In 2009, the increase would rise from $210.56 per hectare to somewhere between $214.77 to $215.82 per hectare. A nine per cent increase would see agricultural water users paying $229.51 per hectare. “The industry will not only have suffered an unwarranted expense increase, but this increase is compounded into the future expenses of operation,” said Osborn, who argued that the agricultural community was not consulted when the nine per cent increase for all users was proposed. The reduction for agriculturists means a potential loss of about $45,000 in revenue for

NORD, but that didn’t concern Coldstream director Doug Dirk, who made the motion to reduce the rates. “We have all kinds of special projects that came up during our budget deliberation, and we can decide those within the budget, but we’ll be able to handle $45,000,” said Dirk. BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb voted in favour of the motion, but said more work on how much water is used by agriculturists needs to be done. “I don’t want to punish the agriculturists,” he said. “But we have to get a little more information. “The number 2.5 per cent is the best working number until we get more information.”

Second man charged in coke bust Morning Star Staff
A case that started in Saskatchewan has now resulted in arrests and weapons seizures in Vernon. Southeast District RCMP and the Regina Integrated Drug Section arrested a second man in connection to the previous 151 kilograms of cocaine seized March 26 near Swift Current. RCMP report two men from Vernon are facing
drug-related charges as a result of a lengthy investigation that stretched across B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. On Wednesday, a 23-yearold man was arrested in Vernon without incident after he was seen exiting his residence. Prior to the arrest, three search warrants were executed at three Vernon locations, resulting in the seizure
of three firearms, a large amount of cash, hand-held devices and computers. Brock Ernest Palfrey appeared before a justice of the peace and was remanded into custody. He was charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Palfrey was transported to Swift Current Thursday, where he will remain in custody until a bail hearing.

IH confirms measles case Morning Star Staff
Interior Health is asking the public to be aware of the symptoms of measles after a case in Vernon was found, along with two others in the region. The three cases occurred in Vernon, Lillooet and Williams Lake in the last 10 days. They were not found to be related, and none of those with measles had been vaccinated against the disease. “Measles has not been circulating in B.C. in the past two years, so this is a newly imported virus that is causing illness in those lacking immunity,” said Dr. Rob Parker, IH
Medical Health Officer, in a press release. “This is a vaccinepreventable disease and most children routinely receive two doses of the vaccine between their first and second birthdays. “That’s why we’re urging parents to review their kids’ medical records to ensure they’ve received both measles vaccine shots. It’s also important for unimmunized adults under age 53 to consider being immunized, as two of the three cases are in unimmunized adults.” According to Interior Health, children who have had two doses of
the measles vaccine are immune, as are those born before 1957 due to the likelihood of having had childhood measles. For those lacking immunity, measles is contagious and can be a severe illness. One in 1,000 people with measles develops brain inflammation. One in 3,000 will die from measles. Interior Health has provided these signs to watch out for: ■ If kids or adults

Vernon RCMP are looking at the possibility the same individual is responsible for a pair of recent robberies. A man walked into the East Side Liquor Co. on 27th Street Tuesday night just before 10 and demanded cash. “He left the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of money,” said Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk. “A police service dog followed a track to a nearby location, but nobody was arrested.” The robbery and description of the suspect are similar to those following a theft from the Super-Save gas station on 27th Street Saturday night where a lone male demanded money and cigarettes. In both cases, no weapon was produced. At the East Side Liquor Co., the suspect was described as a man

The suspect from Super-Save was described as a man around 55 with slightly darker skin.

District asks city to drop water appeal ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
The District of Coldstream wants the City of Vernon to drop its appeal of an arbitrator’s ruling that the city can’t withdraw from water distribution. If Vernon doesn’t drop its appeal, Coldstream said it’s not interested in taking part in a Greater Vernon Water Utility service review committee process that began in earnest Wednesday morning featuring representatives of Vernon, Coldstream and electoral Areas B and C. Mayor Jim Garlick explained to facilitator Allan Neilson-Welch, who chaired the meeting, that his council passed a motion to have the district withdraw from the mediation process until the judicial review process is complete. “It is our position that clarity of direction and intent is needed by all the partners on working out an agreement on this important and complex manner,” said Garlick. “Throwing in the unknown of the judicial review outcome is out of place in the process, and creates an atmosphere of mistrust. “This is a negotiation of an important long-term sub-regional agreement between partners and neighbours who need to work together to pro-

Have you considered a tax deductible gift to the Foundation?
“We have always been open for discussions.” — Wayne Lippert vide a needed service to residents.” Garlick said Coldstream’s participation can be salvaged if Vernon answers a couple of key questions: ■ What progress would it take in the negotiations to have Vernon take action to postpone and/or end the judicial review? ■ Is devolution the only option the City of Vernon is willing to consider? To which, Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert answered no. “We have always been open for discussions,” he said. “Devolution is what all four partners agreed on. We’re not stuck on it, but nothing has come forward to help us move away from it. We stay on this track because of a lack of discussions or a serious look at anything else.”
As for the appeal, Lippert said it keeps Vernon’s options open and doesn’t stop from meeting with the facilitator and the partners. “If we go through this service review and there is an agreement amongst all four of us, we can stop the appeal,” said Lippert. BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb supported Garlick, but insisted the service review was necessary. “We’ll go through the process, have individual meetings and then come upon some kind of common
point,” said Macnabb. BX-Swan Lake director Mike Gavinchuk would like to see the function turned into a utility once all partners discuss what is needed and wanted. “It’ll cost money, but so what?” asked Gavinchuk. Coldstream did agree with Vernon’s appeal of a motion to rescind the governance bylaw for the original Greater Vernon Services Commission. “We have lost a governance structure for the water utility that involved significant time, effort and resources to achieve,” said Garlick. “All of the participants have or will benefit from the accomplishments made while the commission was in place.” Neilson-Welch got Coldstream to agree, for the time being,

that the service review committee will continue to meet, that individual meetings with the partners will be held, and come back as group to see where the process is. Garlick can take back to his council that, if they still desire, some kind of exit point from the process would be found for Coldstream. The partners are slated to meet again next month.

Tighter water restrictions looming ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff
Greater Vernon Water Utility users are one vote away from being under stage two water restrictions. Greater Vernon Advisory Committee is recommending to North Okanagan Regional District members to allow Greater Vernon water manager Al Cotsworth and general manager of engineering, Arnold Badke, the authority to institute water restrictions, rather than go through the board. If, as Cotsworth anticipates, the vote successfully passes at the next NORD meeting April 21, stage two restrictions will be implemented right away. “The day after the regional board meeting,” said Cotsworth Thursday morning. “History has shown that it’s always prudent to always be early on these restrictions, rather than

Accident sends three to hospital Morning Star Staff
Charges are pending after a two-vehicle Easter Monday morning accident in Spallumcheen sent three people to hospital, and three animals to a veterinary clinic. RCMP report that shortly before 10:30 a.m., a Chevy Cavalier driven by a 46-year-old Armstrong man crossed the centre line on Lansdowne Road, and struck a Pontiac Montana, owned by a 51-yearold woman who was a passenger at the time of the accident. Police have only identified the driver of the Montana as a man. The jaws of life were used to cut off the front and rear driver’s side doors of the Cavalier to extract the driver, who police said is facing charges in connection with the accident. All three people in the vehicles were taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with unspecified injuries. Three dogs in the two cars were taken to an area vet to be examined.

Mom’s the word
Y
ou birth ‘em, burp ‘em, bathe ‘em, battle ‘em and eventually, you let ‘em go to find their own way in the world. When you get down to the bare bones of it, parenthood is one tough gig, but the rewards are many. I’ve had many epiphanies, some profane, some not so much, in the middle of the night while comforting a child awakened by a bad dream or that huge bottle of milk before bed. Still in the throes of being a mother of two Kristin Froneman young children, I still really have no idea what I am doing, especially when it comes to discipline. But I’ve managed to survive that holy horror temper tantrum in the middle of Superstore with my dignity intact –– sort of. I’ve heard the advice about how best to scold and to comfort a child –– the time outs, the counting to threes, the accolades for a job well done. I’ve made the sticker chart for the firsts: the step, the word, the POP (that’s potty talk for first pee and/or poo in said receptacle.) And I’ve defended myself when I’ve been chewed out for letting my two-year-old boy “run wild.” (It was outside, and I managed to stop him before he tore the place apart, OK?!) I’ve enjoyed the relationships that I have made through having kids –– those sideline chats at the playground or at my daughter’s dance practice with fellow moms and dads who appear to be much more competent at this parenting thing, but then don’t mind sharing their horror story. It’s comforting to know we’re all in this together, and that other kids have had holy horror tantrums in public places. I also love to have my “whine” time with my girlfriends who are going through the same thing as I am. So many of us are working parents, who have to share time with our kids and our jobs.

And sometimes we get confused. We call our boss sweetie, and then call home to say that deadline is approaching. Dinner is often pulled out of the freezer, and mornings are like the start line to a NASCAR race, with a lot of revving and swearing going on. Many of us have to rely heavily on those wonderful, yet underpaid, caregivers out there, who have just as much to do with raising our children as we do. And yes, there’s guilt involved. Many of us can’t afford not to work, but then we try to reason why half our pay cheques, plus that whopping $100 per child we receive every month from the federal government, goes to daycare. Maybe it would be worth it to stay at home, and hats off to those parents that do, but for some of us it would be pretty hard to cover the food bills, the taxes, the $10,000/year postsecondary school costs. You just have to get rid of the guilt. And then there’s the other reason. Your kids can drive you crazy. We need a break from them, as much as they need one from us to socialize with their little friends who have way cooler toys! For the first time since I became a mother, I am about to leave my kids with their daddy, alone, for one whole week. I know it’s a cruel thing to do, but it’s also a health decision. Mommy has been going a wee bit insane lately and needs some rest time, so she’s decided to jet off to Toronto for some much needed therapy, which includes margaritas at my favourite bar on Queen Street, and a massage at the Japanese spa me and my girlfriends have booked. Selfish? Hell, yes. I just hope I don’t wake up in the middle of the night, yelling “I’ve abandoned my child,” like Daniel Day Lewis did in that movie There Will be Blood. Upon my return, I will hug and kiss my kids just like before I left, and continue on this lifelong journey with them. There. Guilt gone.
It may appear that the agriculture sector is getting special treatment from the North Okanagan Regional District, but then the bigger concern might be why weren’t they getting this kind of attention from the beginning? Almost from the onset when the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee recommended NORD approve a nine-per-cent hike in water rates across the board, there were voices of concern from the agriculture community. Representative Ted Osborn went to respective councils pleading for a break for the providers of food and arguing that past history of water providers dictated an increase more along the line of the cost of living. The thought was that, farmers and orchardists would know ahead of time what their cost of water would be each year and could act accordingly. Orchardists, especially, who are dealing with record lows in the marketplace for their product, would be hit hard with the nine-per-cent hike. Politicians earlier argued it was only fair that all were hit with the nine-per-cent hike, but now are sympathizing with agriculturists and giving them the lower rate hike. It turns out it will only cost NORD some $45,000 in revenue. The question therefore is not so much why are farmers getting a break? The real question is why did it take a history lesson from area farmers for politicians to put common sense into the equation and realize ‘fair’ is a relative term? And why didn’t district staff know their stuff in the first place?

The lowdown on the lake
Y
ou remember the old refrain: "Spring is sprung, the grass is ris, I wonder where the birdies is?" Well, on Tronson Road, along Okanagan Lake, where I walk my dog in the early morning, the grass is ris, the birdies is singing, the geese are honking, the ducks are quacking, the quail are calling, an owl hoots and a woodpecker on the hill is calling to his mate while another woodpecker is drumming on the tin roof of my neighbour's house. So all is well. But is it? In August, 2007, The Morning Star published a photo of my beach showing how low the water was. Fifty years ago we built our house
here and constructed a wharf and the float so they would be flush in height. The current scene shows the float now lying on the bottom of the lake — first time in history.
NO SERVICE? I'm responding to Brian Jackson's recent letter entitled, "No Service by Request." I share his thoughts. From ancient times, the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans had definite practices and rituals to make the passage from life to death. As it's becoming more common for people to request no funeral or service, one has to wonder what this says about our society today. Are we not honouring the life of the person who has died? What is the reason it appears a life has not been worthwhile, without meaning or purpose? What has happened to mourning — the behaviour to express our grief? Life has beginnings and endings — some of these we mark with rituals from the baby shower to graduation ceremonies and special gatherings for birthdays and anniversaries. In this culture, funerals and religious ceremonies have marked the passing from life to death — a funeral being the ritual to honour a person's life and sometimes called a celebration of life. It's important for the family and the community to say good-bye, providing closure which helps the grief process. Without closure, it's more difficult to come to terms with the loss. Added to this for some families is that the cremated remains haven't found a final resting place, a decision wasn't made where this should be. So if not a funeral, is there another ritual that would be meaningful for you and your family? It may be a memorial such as planting a tree, building a bench for a park, a special gathering, a tea, a wake, any means which provides an avenue to honour and remember the person's life.
Yes, we have already been warned of water restrictions this summer. But the lake, 70 miles long, is now nearly four-feet lower. Nothing will recompense the loss of hundreds of thousands of gallons of water in
This may include the sharing of memories, story telling, special prayers, poetry, meaningful sayings and music. Through such rituals family and friends feel support in the knowledge that they are not alone. There may also be meaning for others — knowing how they want to mark their own passing. I wonder if one reason there is "no service by request" is that the person hopes to save their family emotional pain. In the end, this may cause more emotional pain with consequences to health. So let's give our families and loved ones permission to mourn and grieve our passing. Barb Schimpl
DOGS IN PARKS They say this is the time of the "me" generation. This seems to definitely be the case with some dog owners. As the duo of Lennon and McCartney once wrote "here's another clue for you all" - if there is no doggy bag dispenser at the park entrance or anywhere to be found, then your dog is not welcome at the park! If a park or school has a playing field of any sort, please do not let your dog do its business where people like to play. We do not have any playing fields within the city limits where dogs are allowed. And if you have the tired line of "I pick up after my dog," then ask yourself this - would you sit down on the spot where your dog just made its deposit? Would you let your children or grandchildren sit on that spot? And it is absolutely disgusting to see those poop-filled bags hanging off fences or inside fenced areas or piled up at
Okanagan Lake. When I was a kid in Vernon, the population was about 5,000. Now, of course, people have flocked here from New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and other parts of the world to The Sunny Okanagan. Why wouldn't they? And they all must have water. The authorities in Vernon, Kelowna, Summerland, Penticton, etc. should get together (with all their other onerous responsibilities) and give some consideration to what can be done in the continuous loss of water in Okanagan Lake. Or is it far too late? H.D. (Bart) Bartholomew
a park or school's entrance because your dog brought the poop with it, and, even though you "picked it up" (leaving a stain and stuff clinging to the spot), you just did not have the decency to take it with you. If there isn't a garbage can for that doggy bag, it's because you should not have had the dog there in the first place! Please, people, be kind to those that like to go to the park and stretch out on the grass and those that like to utilize our sports fields. Keep the dogs away from those areas. It's time to change to "me" to "we." Deron Adams NEVER TOO LATE Does Mr. Gavinchuk not know the advantage of fresh air and exercise? Any way we can get people out and encourage them to do this is worth spending a little money on. Of course, it will get used by individuals it was not intended for, as is the skateboard park. There is a clear sign, No Bicycles, but a lot of the time there are as many bikers as skateboarders. All the adult equipment is marked not to be used by anyone under 13. Many people have expressed support for this project (in Polson Park) and have wanted to start petitions in case it was rejected by the council. Please, Mr. Gavinchuk, see beyond the initial expense and see the potential benefits to the community and perhaps you will come and join us when the park is in place. May I ask you to read the excellent article in the Morning Star Sunday 7th, page A24, "It's Never Too Late to Get Active." Hazel Simpson
CRIME PAYS Just another example of our tax dollars at work. Did you know that Clifford Olson receives a cheque every month in the amount of $1,169.47? As he is over 65, he gets the old age pension plus he qualifies for the Guaranteed Income Supplement! He is in a federal prison where all his needs are paid in full by us, the taxpayer. No worries about rent, groceries, medical, taxes - everything is taken care of so this money is accumulating in a bank account. A good number of our senior citizens are forced to live on not much more per month, and out of these monies they must pay their own way for everything. I wonder if Mr. Olson is also eligible for the GST rebate? Something is sure wrong with this scenario. E. Kilback

News Coldstream residents invited to open house on creek issues BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
Homeowners living along Coldstream, Craster and Brewer Creeks will be given a head’s up about what’s going to be happening near their properties as part of stream rehabilitation. The District of Coldstream is crafting a letter to be sent to creekside property owners inviting them to a May 3 open house where they will be able to view Sensitive Habitat Inventory and Mapping (SHIM) images. District staff and representatives from Ecoscape Environmental Consultants, the private firm that did the mapping, will be on hand to answer questions. The goal is to have homeowners gain the ability to identify potential problems on their own. “They’ll be able to learn about the process in terms of what’s happening on the creek,” said Coldstream chief administrative officer Michael Stamhuis. “They’ll be able to see what the detriment to the creek has been.” Coldstream Creek was labelled one of the dirtiest in the Okanagan in a 2009 Ministry of Environment report. It is just a small portion of land beside Coldstream Creek that is actually in question. “It’s only a certain sector,” said Coldstream director of engineering Alanna Dean. “We had to pick certain areas where we could negotiate with owners. For the most part, the District of Coldstream doesn’t have authority to go on private property.” Actions taken by
property owners to tame the vegetation near the creek may have more deleterious effects than they realize.
“The impacts on the creek are sometimes a little more subtle than people might realize,” said Stamhuis. “They
might clear all vegetation and put in a lawn and put fertilizer down but with runoff, now you’ve got more algae
growth and milfoil stimulated in the lake. “It’s not as good for the rearing of fish.” Council applied
to the Okanagan Basin Water Board in February for $17,000 to begin creek rehabilitation. Owners identified
by Coldstream who have creekside property should receive an invitation to the open house sometime in April.

Most Vernonites don’t know it, but their local yacht club has been providing valuable public services for all boaters for years and hosting fundraisers that benefit their community. And they’d like you to join in their activities this year and into the future. Though they’ve been holding weekly sailing races for a month already, the true kick off to the Vernon Yacht Club (VYC) season is Crane Day on Saturday where a giant crane will lift boats that have been parked on land all winter into the lake. The public is welcome to come down and enjoy the unique spectacle from 9 a.m. to noon. VYC president Tim Amy hopes to meet new people at the event and educate them about his organization. “We’re inviting people to come down and talk to us and join up,” he said. “Having fun on the water is what we’re about.” The VYC boat show is also fast approaching. The event is in its 30th year and runs April 24 and 25. Amy is quick to dismiss the stereotype that yacht clubs are exclusive and require members to have a massive bankroll. “We represent a

Also, boaters who have holding tanks onboard can use VYC’s pump-out station for free. For all boaters, not just members, it’s a handy service and it keeps the lake clean and prevents boaters from having to jettison sewage, which is illegal. The club will host its ninth annual United Way Regatta June 4 to 6. It regularly pulls in more than $30,000, money that stays in

The initial fee is $3,000 and club dues are about $450 per year. Everyone is welcome to join; the only stipulation is your primary residence must be within 100 kilometres of Vernon.
“We’re trying to promote more of a profile for sailing,” said Amy, clarifying you don’t have to have a sailboat to join VYC. “It’s more of a boating club.” Membership allows boaters to moor overnight at affiliated clubs on the lake as well. Kelowna, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland and Westbank all welcome VYC members to stay overnight in their slips.
VYC has about 300 members and about 250 boats right now. It’s a 50-50 split between power and sail boats. There is a two-year wait list for moorage and fees to keep your boat at VYC average $900, about a third of what it would be in coastal marinas. Adult sailing lessons start in May. For more information, visit the VYC website at www. vernonyachtclub.com.

News Museum brings history to life at fair Morning Star Staff
Vernon’s heritage will be on display this weekend. The third annual Vernon and District Heritage Fair, a project of the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives, is being held at the Priest Valley Gym. More than 100 students from Grades 3 to 7 have used the medium of their choice to tell stories and share information about Canadian heroes, legends, milestones or achievements. Today is Kids Day, where the students will present their projects to a panel of community judges, whose task will be helping decide on the 20 students who will represent Vernon at the Okanagan Regional Heritage Fair in Kelowna next week. As well as having their projects judged, the students will be participating in a variety of heritage projects throughout the day. The public is invited to an open house Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Come and join in celebrating Canada’s history with the young people in the community. You can have your picture taken with the Olympic torch carried by City of Vernon deputy fire chief Lawrie Skolrood during the Olympic Torch Relay in Coldstream. The Fairs Program is dedicated to helping young Canadians discover, celebrate and honour their unique history. Since its inception in 1993, more than 400,000 students across Canada have been involved.

Vander Zalm trying to beat HST odds with petition AL PATERSON Black Press
If Bill Vander Zalm wins his Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) fight with the provincial government, it will be like killing an elephant with a pea-shooter. But the former premier isn’t about to give up. To Vander Zalm, it’s more than just a fight against a tax grab, it’s about democracy, or retaining what’s left of it in this province. Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd of about 300 people last weekend at the Seniors Activity Centre in Salmon Arm, the spry 74-yearold Vander Zalm said his fight is non-political. “ L i b e r a l s , Conservatives, NDP or Social Credit, it doesn’t matter,” said Vander Zalm. “We’ve got to stop this thing.” In order to halt the implementation of the HST, Vander Zalm will have 90 days to convince 10 per cent of all registered voters in B.C., in all 85 ridings, to sign a petition. But that’s only the start of it. One signature short, in just one riding,
and the petition fails. Then, Elections B.C., in turn, will issue 85 different sets of petition forms, one for each riding. Under provincial law, even if Vander Zalm collects enough signatures in every riding, and even if those signatures are verified by Elections B.C., the government would only have to introduce an HST-repeal bill in the legislature. There is nothing in the law to compel the government to vote on the bill. And if the government didn’t introduce the HST-repeal bill, that would trigger a provincewide referendum. For that referendum to succeed, a majority of voters would have to support it, meaning more than 50 per cent of all registered voters in the province (as opposed to people who actually show up to vote). The passing grade for all registered voters would have to be two-thirds. “In travelling all through B.C I have found everybody’s concerned. This is the wrong tax, at the wrong time...” There is a philosophical aspect to Vander
Zalm’s beef as well. “What’s happening to democracy in our province and in our country?’ he asks. “Eighty-five per cent of people in this province are against the HST, but the bureaucrats don’t care. That’s not
democracy, that’s dictatorship.” One way to stop the HST is to issue a legal challenge. “We spoke to a lawyer and he says he thinks we have a good legal case. He’s willing to give us
a deal by cutting his fee in half, but that would still cost $25,000 to issue a court challenge,” said Vander Zalm. “The HST is illegal
under section 92 of the British North America Act, and there is a precedent, a 1954 case where the Lord Nelson Hotel took on the province of
Nova Scotia.” For more on the movement to oppose the HST, which will kick in July 1, 2010, go to www.fightHST.com.

Pensions for inmates? heads and meals on their table, I believe an inmate in a federal prison should not receive free room and board if they have a means to pay for it. The average cost to keep a prisoner in a federal prison today is $120,000 per year. In my view, it would be proper to have those that are incarcerated pay part of their costs for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;room and boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with Colin Mayes the income they receive from government benefit plans. The Prime Minister has also committed to review this issue. It has taken some time for our government to turn the focus of justice from the
MP REPORT
offenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights to the rights of the victim. The former government, in my opinion, focused on offenders and this was wrong. Our government believes that when a citizen does not respect the laws of the land that protect their fellow citizens the offender, not the victim, should be
held accountable. Our governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new criminal justice bills have attempted to protect citizens from law breakers but as a minority government it has been an uphill battle. I assure you, we will continue until changes are made to the criminal justice system.

have received many e-mails opposing federal monthly pension payments going to serial killer Clifford Olson as he serves a life sentence in federal prison. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think probably the reason this hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arisen before is these are unusual circumstances; it is not typical that we have senior citizens facing life incarceration. But obviously, this is a situation that has many, many Canadians upset and for good reason.â&#x20AC;? The Prime Minister has instructed the Minister Of Human Resources and Skills Development, the Honourable Diane Finleyâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;to look at what options are available to this to rectify the situation because it should be rectified.â&#x20AC;? Minister Finley has stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it is appropriate, and we want to prevent it from happening again.â&#x20AC;? I am not certain that a pension benefit can be denied as it is a universal benefit. If the benefit was removed, it could be challenged on its legality. However, considering many of our law-abiding seniors use their Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement to pay for a roof over their

Grad behaviour focus of free public open house BRENT MUTIS Morning Star Staff
With high school graduation just around the corner, the Vernon school district and the RCMP are partnering to remind parents of their rights and responsibilities. A presentation, free and open to the public will be held April 19 at 7 p.m. at Vernon Secondary School. Vernon RCMP school liaison Kathy Szoboticsanec will conduct Parties, Problems and Parental Responsibilities, a look at what adults should know about grad behaviour and attempting to host wet grad parties. The message is a basic one but often goes unheeded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Know what your kids are doing and where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going,â&#x20AC;? said Szoboticsanec. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just common sense but, from a parental point of view, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to seem nosy or pushy.â&#x20AC;? Schools host dry grad parties for students but wet grads are frequently held by parents who believe there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be problems because adults are supervising. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case according to Vernon school district substance abuse prevention counsellor Doug Rogers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the notion that folks can host wet grads and think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing kids favours,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime we condone alcohol or drugs to kids, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re setting a poor example.â&#x20AC;? Further, parents will be liable for any accidents and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now standard practice for insurance companies not to cover alcoholfueled mishaps that may occur at wet grads, says Rogers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put yourself in danger and you put your finances in danger. Insurance companies are not going to cover you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other side of it is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not a safe thing to do for kids.â&#x20AC;?
Szoboticsanec says weekend parties held unbeknownst to par-
ents are becoming even more common when school is out.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the summer, we... as police, go to parties where the par-
ents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Know what your
kids are doing.â&#x20AC;? The evening will include the hour-long
presentation and a question-and-answer period after.

You can either be a victim of the Recession or you can become RICH because of it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. Find out what the Government and the Big Banks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to know & what your accountant and your financial planner are not able to tell you...
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alberta Man Goes From Dead-End $30K Year Job to Multi-Millionaire by Age 35 Using Proven Rich Dad, Poor Dad Strategies. Now Teaches Thousands of British Coumbians How to Get Rich in BC (in Any Economy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Up or Down) at this Amazing FREE Event.â&#x20AC;?
Robert Kiyosaki with Darren Weeks Dear Financially Frustrated Friend: Are you tired of working your butt off and never getting ahead? Sick of sinking further into debt without any end in sight? Are you fed up with getting taxed to death while watching your tax dollars wasted? Do you see others getting wealthy through Real Estate, Business or Investing, and wonder how they do it? Had enough of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;late-nite TVâ&#x20AC;? Americans ramming their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Rich in Real Estate/Tax Leins/Stocks/ Internetâ&#x20AC;? JUNK down our throats (you know, all those tactics that â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite workâ&#x20AC;? here in Canada?). As the stock markets crash and the Big Banks get bailed out, do you wonder why you never seem to get ahead by â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re toldâ&#x20AC;? and investing in stocks, mutual funds, RRSPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and GICâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? If you answered â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to any of the above, then you will definitely want to do whatever it takes to be at my upcoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Get Rich in BCâ&#x20AC;? event. But Why Should You Listen to Me? Good question â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you should only take advice from people who are successful, and hopefully more so than you are. (In fact, after you ask them about their â&#x20AC;&#x153;net worthâ&#x20AC;?, you might want to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fireâ&#x20AC;? your financial planner and/or banker) My name is Darren Weeks, and I am proud to say that many of my students across the country call me the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian Rich Dadâ&#x20AC;?. Why? Because the monthly Passive Income (i.e. money I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to work for) from my many businesses, real estate holdings and investing ventures is more than what most Canadians work hard for all year long. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made money during good economies and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also made money during bad economies. (In fact, huge fortunes have been made during the worst of economic times). Now donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong... I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say this to brag. I am telling you this because I want you to know that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just talk a good talk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I actually do what I will teach you to do. But I Havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Always Been So Successful... I am the first to admit it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was a very poor student in high school and University (in fact it took me an extra year just to get through). And when I finally did graduate, my first job right out of the door was with the Alberta Government! I putzed around at a dead-end $30K a year job for far too long before I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it any more and I quit to start my own company. During the 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I built up a considerable Real Estate portfolio, and I kept going with different businesses and investment opportunities as well. In fact, by the time I read Robert Kiyosakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all time best selling book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rich Dad, Poor Dadâ&#x20AC;?, I was already doing very well financially. I was so impressed with Kiyosakiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message, in 2001 I became a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rich Dad Facilitatorâ&#x20AC;? to help spread the Rich Dad message to Canadians. And now, after all of these years, I am very pleased to have been able to show tens of thousands of Canadians across the country how to take control of their own finances, and to live life on their own terms. I have spurred dozens and dozens of people to become multi-millionaires in 5 years or less. Now I do not take credit for their success â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they took the action and actually did something â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I am just happy that I was able to inspire them in some way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;...(Darrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) passion for helping others has been a great inspiration to me and I now truly understand about giving first with no expectations in return. Darren and his advisors/speakers have helped us in many other ways as well, too many to list.â&#x20AC;? Ken Beaton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa, ON.
Darren Weeks, Canadian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Multi-Millionaireâ&#x20AC;? (from Edmonton), is revealing the proven success strategies he learned personally from Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and has perfected for our unique Canadian situation. Darren is offering an absolutely FREE event in Vernon on Thursday, April 15 to show how you too can become financially independent and be able to do whatever you want...in 5 years or less (No matter what is happening in the economy). Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also giving away an Amazing FREE gift to every attendee who brings a guest. His NEW audio CD â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 7 Keys to Creating Wealth in Canadaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a $39.95 value â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Free of charge just for bringing a friend (your guest gets one too)!
Why Should You Come to My FREE â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to Get Rich in BCâ&#x20AC;? Event? This is an event you will want to attend in order to learn... How to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recession-Proofâ&#x20AC;? Yourself and your family. How to Make BIG money in any economy. Up or down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. The difference between the advice given to the Rich and the Middle Class. The fastest and most popular way to create millions of $$$. How to buy Real Estate with â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? money down. Why personal associations are critical to your financial freedom. How the CASHFLOW quadrants explain the conspiracy to keep Canadians poor. ...and so much more. In fact, many people come to my events time and time again because each one is always different, they want to have the messages re-inforced, and they like being around other positive, actionoriented people. The Government and the Big BANKS are Conspiring to Keep YOU Poor. Big Brother and the Big Banks want to keep you under their thumbs. But with the knowledge that I am going to share with you (and that your accountant/ financial planner will not, or are not able to tell you) you will learn what you need to do to become truly financially free. It is my mission to expose how the Big Banks and Financial companies always make money off average Canadians with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Management Expense Ratiosâ&#x20AC;? and fees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even when their investors are losing their shirts by following their lousy advice. The game is stacked against the average investor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is completely in their favorâ&#x20AC;Śunless you learn the strategies of the rich and â&#x20AC;&#x153;become the bankâ&#x20AC;?. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how at this FREE event. You Will Learn More in These 3 Hours Than Most Speakers will teach you in 3 days! I know that is a pretty steep claim, but it is absolutely TRUE. My teaching style is lightyears ahead of the way you are used to learning in school. My sessions allow you to capture the information much faster and easier than at any seminar you have ever been to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;...I never thought that I could learn so much and gain so much during a free seminar. I would recommend this Fast Track event to anyone who wants to learn to be financially freeâ&#x20AC;?. Eva Ye, Vancouver BC (with over $10M in Real Estate investments). What Does Being Financially FREE Mean? It means you never have to: Work for somebody else. Limit your holidays to just 2 weeks a year. Order the cheapest items on the menu at a nice restaurant. Argue with your spouse about money. Get taken advantage of with stupid financial advice from broke â&#x20AC;&#x153;professional advisorsâ&#x20AC;?. Worry that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough money at the end of the month. So How Long Will It Take You to Become Financially Free? I firmly believe that EVERYONE can be wealthy within 5 years or sooner of attending this life changing FREE event. This is very possible. Thousands of people who have attended this very same event are well on their way to financial freedom. They not only learned the secrets of the Rich, they realized that taking ACTION will ensure their personal financial freedom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just like it will for you.
And Why is This Event FREE? By now you are probably a little skeptical. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably been to other â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? events that promised you the world, gave you a little bit of information, and then did the old â&#x20AC;&#x153;bait-and â&#x20AC;&#x201C;switchâ&#x20AC;? on you. They probably tried to get you to buy some kind of super expensive Real Estate course (or other training). We do NOT do that at my events. We have some books and cashflow games available if you want them, and there is no pressure to purchase anything. Now putting on FREE events is very expensive, so to help defray the costs I have a very few, select corporate sponsors. You get a fantastic education, I get to meet you and spread the Rich Dad message, and the corporate sponsors get a few minutes to show you what they do. The best thing is... we all win! My goal with putting on these events is to start a relationship with you and get to know you a bit. Robert Kiyosaki taught me â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give first, and then you will get back.â&#x20AC;? It has worked very well for me. So leave your cheque book at home, bring a friend and just come out to the event with an open mind. Fair enough? How About if I Give You Even MORE? If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to give away the farm, I might as well go even one step further...just for bringing a guest to this Free event, I want to give you another FREE gift...

“Any bite from a tick should be cleaned.”
“Proudly dl Independent d d — Locally Owned & Operated” by Butcher Boys Ent. Ltd.
CANADA'S #1
People are enjoying the warm weather, and this means an increased chance of getting tick bites when hiking or biking in tall grass or wooded areas. Ticks are small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and these bites can sometimes transmit disease. “There are easy things you can do to protect yourself, like covering up and checking for ticks when returning from a walk, hike or bike ride,” said Jennifer Jeyes, with the Interior Health Authority’s communicable disease unit. “Most tick bites do not result in illness, however any bite from a tick or other insect should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a — Jeyes break in the skin.” While ticks are common in the Interior, most are the wood tick – dermacentor andersoni, which does not carry the lyme disease bacteria. The wood tick can rarely carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The signs of infection are similar for both illnesses. These include sudden onset of fever, headache, muscle pain, and swollen lymph glands, followed by the development of rash – usually in the shape of a bullseye for lyme disease. In addition, ticks in the spring can also cause muscle weakness and paralysis if they are attached for long periods. Lyme disease and other tick-related diseases can be treated with antibiotics, and early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications. One of the most important ways to protect yourself from tick transmitted illness is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after being outdoors. Other precautions include: ■ Walking on cleared trails when in long grass or wooded areas. ■ Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants and lightcoloured clothing. ■ Tucking pant legs into socks or boots. ■ Applying insect repellent containing DEET on all uncovered skin. ■ Carefully checking clothing and scalp when leaving an area where ticks may live. ■ Regularly checking household pets for ticks. To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: ■ Keep your lawn short and remove any leaf litter and weeds. ■ Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or areas should be kept away from wooded areas.
■ Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. ■ Move wood piles and bird feeders away from the house. ■ Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you do find a tick on yourself or your pet, wear gloves and be careful not to crush the tick because this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin: ■ Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. ■ After removal, clean the area with soap and water. If you find one tick, check very carefully for others. Anyone with the typical bulls-eye rash of lyme disease, or other signs or symptoms of tick-transmitted illness should see their doctor. Often people with acute lyme disease do not notice the biting tick that preceded the illness.

Snakes regroup to square series GRAEME CORBETT Morning Star Staff
First goal in a road game, a quick counterattack after an opposition tally, and a clutch goal in the dying seconds of a period. The Vernon Vipers have rediscovered their knack for timely scoring. Sahir Gill’s goal with 31 seconds left in the second period stood as the winner as the Vernon Vipers doubled the host Powell River Kings 4-2 in Game 4 of the B.C. Hockey League Fred Page Cup Tuesday night at Hap Parker Arena. After subpar performances in Games 2 and 3, the Vipers got back to basics to even the best-of-seven series at two apiece in front of 1,231 fans. Game 5 went Thursday night at Wesbild Centre, with Game 6 heading back to the Sunshine Coast Saturday night. If necessary, Game 7 would go Monday at Wesbild. “We were simple – we moved the puck and we competed. We tried to do too much with the puck in the first three games and we just tried to simplify the game,” said Vernon head coach Mark Ferner. The Vipers’ Cory Kane opened the scoring at 5:33 of the first period. Going in on the rush with Robbie Short and David Robinson, Kane fired five-hole to beat netminder Josh Watson for his second goal of the playoffs.

Vernon defenceman Garrett Noonan (right) takes a hard hit from the Kings’ Brenden Forbes Tuesday night in Powell River.
A look at the boxscore shows the Viper penalty kill allowing two goals on six powerplays, but Ferner says that doesn’t really tell the story. The Vipers played pretty much shorthanded the second half of the first period, and early in the second (including a minute of 5-on-3 hockey), as referee Colby Smith handed the Vipers five straight minors. “Fortunately for us, we did a pretty good job of it,” said Ferner. “The game could have been over (had they scored again).” The Vipers’ powerplay is limping along at 2-for-15 (13.33 per cent) so far in the series, while the Kings are clicking at 6-for-19 (31.58 per cent). The Kings finally cracked the Viper penalty kill at 3:35 of the second period, as Daniel Carr pocketed his 14th goal of the post-season, assisted by towering defenceman Justin Dasilva and speedy Matt Garbowsky. Vernon replied just 21 seconds later as Connor Jones (first star) netted his teamleading ninth goal after a cycle play with Gill (third star) and Kellen Jones. Connor, who leads all Vipers with 16 points in 16 games, earned BCHL Player-ofthe-Week honours. Gill’s late second-period marker, assisted by Connor and defenceman Adam Thompson, kept the momentum in Vernon’s favour heading into the third period. Said Vipers’ defensive stalwart Garrett Noonan: “We did all the right things and we need to keep doing that in Game 5. We all just came out with the mind set that nothing is going to stop us from getting home-ice advantage back. “I don’t think we ever got down on one another. They’re a good team and it’s not going to be easy. They took a couple games, but it’s a seven-game series and we’re prepared for it to go a full seven games.” The Kings’ Chad Niddery (second star), arguably Powell River’s best player in this series, tried to stage a third-period comeback by firing a backhander shortside on netminder Graeme Gordon on the powerplay at 14:23. However, the Kings were unable to generate much as they spent most of the third period in the penalty box, with Smith dishing out four minors to the Kings in the final frame. Kings’ head coach Kent Lewis summed

Viper forward David Robinson (front) tries to speed away from the Kings’ Teagan Waugh in Game 4 of the BCHL Fred Page Cup final Tuesday night in Powell River. The Vipers won 4-2. the game up like this: “We took seven penalties, five of them in the offensive zone away from our net. Not a smart effort. For whatever reason, we had a brain cramp for most of the game.” The Kings finally got some pressure in the final minute, but Viper captain Kevin Kraus hit the relief valve by launching a 173-foot empty-netter (Kiss-FM colour man Don Klepp used the ol’ eye-ometer to guess that one), collecting his first goal of the playoffs. Gordon posted 20 saves for the win, while Watson recorded 23 saves for the Kings. Like Ferner, Lewis has his squad conditioned, mentally and physically, for a seven-

game series. The Kings showed that in the Coastal Conference final when they rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to ice the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. “We’ve done it before,” said Lewis. “It shouldn’t be too hard (to regroup); we’ve been playing this way for a while now. We just have to execute better.” Meanwhile, the host Fort McMurray Oil Barons evened their best-of-seven AJHL Enerflex Cup final series at 2-2 by stuffing the Spruce Grove Saints 4-1 Tuesday night. The AJHL and BCHL winners will meet in the Doyle Cup Championship, which starts Friday, April 16 in Alberta.

Freestylers soar at B.C.s Morning Star Staff
The Silver Star Freestyle Club, one of the largest freestyle clubs in Canada, went all out to give their athletes an opportunity to compete in a variety of events at the B.C. Championships last weekend at Silver Star Mountain Resort. For the first time in B.C. freestyle, there were two mogul sites, a big air site, and besides the terrain park for slopestyle, another smaller one was put together for the younger competitors on Far Out. Kids aged 5-19 competed. The competition included a dedication to longtime member and parent, Philip Pool, who died from pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. Black ribbons were worn by athletes and volunteers as an opportunity to remember Phil. “Phil attended many events around the province over the years,” said club spokesman Rick Smith. “He would load up the Suburban with his kids and many others, and off he would go. As a volunteer, you would see him with a shovel in hand chopping the mogul landings, hauling timer boxes to and from the venues, and often you would hear his distinctive voice at the top of the mogul runs ‘red course ready, blue course ready – on course.’ “His sons, Thomas and Andrew, competed on the weekend with podium finishes in moguls – a

proud moment for the boys and the family to honour their father.” The Silver Star athletes were stoked to end the season in fine fashion. “They were throwin’ down some huge stuff,” said Smith. “In the moguls there were backflips, front flips, screamin’ seamens, twistys, and more. In the Big Air and slopestyle, you would have seen mistys, corks, rotations off-axis of 360, 540, 720, 900 and 1080 (degrees).” Major awards by B.C.

The Fulton Maroons ambushed the Pleasant Valley Saints 50-0 in Okanagan Senior AA Boys Rugby League action Wednesday at Grahame Park. Half of the tries were scored by the forwards and half by the backs. Ben Olson led the Maroons with four tries, while Dalton Anderson added three and Brad Sarazin supplied two. Uzman Raza and Jesse Lochhead also recorded tries, while Cam Smith booted three converts. The Maroons had the majority of the ball coming out of the rucks.
“As in most sports, who ever controls the ball pretty well controls the game,” said Fulton head coach Rick Smith. “PVSS played a tough game with some great tackling and consistent rucking. With some more experience, they can be a good team. They definitely have the heart. “The PVSS scrumhalf, wearing No. 6 (Chris Nonis), had a great delivery, ran the ball well and tackled with intensity.” Fulton is hosting the Okanagan Junior and Senior 7s today at Grahame Park. Games are 15 minutes long and run from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m.

Sports Dallas recalls Gagnon from AHL farm Armstrong’s Aaron Gagnon will play for the Dallas Stars tonight when they host the Anaheim Ducks in NHL action. Dallas recalled Gagnon, 23, from the American League Texas Stars, on Wednesday. Gagnon appeared in one game for Dallas on Oct. 16 versus Boston, going scoreless. He leads the Texas Stars in scoring with 27 goals and 58 points through 77 games. The 5-foot-11, 186-pound centre also ranks first on the club in plus/minus with a +19 rating. Last season he played for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the AHL, collecting eight goals and 11 assists in 61 games. Gagnon, who spent five seasons with the WHL Seattle Thunderbirds, was signed by Dallas as a free agent Feb. 2, 2007. He was chosen in round eight of the 2004 draft by Phoenix.

‘99 All-Stars take Spring Blast Rep tourney The ‘99 Silver Star Vernon All-Stars won the Spring Blast Rep hockey tournament at the Fleetwood Arena in Surrey last weekend. Dawson Mayes scored in overtime as the AllStars clipped the White Rock Wolverines 2-1 in Sunday’s final. Vernon forced overtime late in the third period when Brady Marzocco tapped in Grady Caton’s pass. The All-Stars opened with a 6-1 loss to the Wolverines. Trajan Boyd scored from Cameron Watson. Vernon then thumped the Fraser Valley Young Guns 11-0 with Boyd and Connor Johnston each pulling hat tricks in support of Ethan Huizinga. Riley Swiscoski netted a pair while Ethan King, Reed Cashato, and Reece Schroeder supplied singles. Kyle Sherwood picked up three assists. The All-Stars followed up with a 9-2 win over the Kamloops Ice Pirates. Sherwood recorded the hat trick, while Johnston (2), Austin Caldwell, Marzocco, Liam Hennig and Boyd completed the scoring. Conor Webb stopped 26 shots as Vernon knocked off the Ice Pirates 3-1 in Sunday’s semifinal. Sherwood, Caldwell and Boyd handled the offence. The All-Stars face the Okanagan Selects Sunday (10:45 a.m.) at Priest Valley Arena before ending their spring season at the Vancouver Mainland Cup April 16-18.

Shamrocks open Ice Breaker with Tigers Morning Star Staff
Once a friendly exhibition game between the Shamrocks and the Prince George Bandits, the Armstrong Ice Breaker has evolved into a six-team senior lacrosse season opener. The Shamrocks open the tournament tonight (6:00) against the Vernon Tigers (formerly Royals) at Nor-Val Sports Centre. A combined Vancouver/ Prince George entry takes on the Kamloops Rattlers at 7:30 and the Kelowna Raiders battle the Spruce Grove Slash at 9 p.m. Games go from 11 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. Saturday with the Shamrocks jumpstarting play against Kamloops in the first game. “The tournament is non-traditional as there are no finals or prizes of any kind,” said tourney director Ryan Nitchie. “The tournament is meant to act as a fun way to get the rust off the sticks and prepare the teams for their respective regular seasons.” Spruce Grove Slash, whose regularseason lineup features a few National Lacrosse League players who play with the Edmonton Rush and Calgary Roughnecks (still in pro league play), will bring a very talented Senior B roster. For the Shamrocks, it will be an opportunity
to gel the team and get some game time action as they approach their season home opener on Friday, April 23 against the Vernon Tigers. The Okanagan senior C league game will follow a junior B tilt between Armstrong and Vernon on what has become ‘Lacrosse Night in Lacrosseville.’ New Shamrock head coach Ken McGregor is excited about the
upcoming season. “I’ve seen some real improvement in the guys’ stick work over the past few practices and we just need to get them working on motion on
offence and creating opportunities for each other and we’ll be solid,” said McGregor, who joins his brother Lance McGregor and fellow Shamrock alumnus Doug Morrison behind the bench. “This tournament is a good chance for us to look at the players and see what we need to work on, and what we are doing right, as we head into the regular
season. We have a good group of guys and we just need to get them working together and we will be competitive.” The Okanagan league board of governors recently approved the appointment of Garnet States as the new league commissioner. An Armstrong resident, States is retired and has experience in hockey officiating and administration.

* OW EN goal Wednesday on the power play. “We just didn’t bear down on their chances, and they did. “We have the confidence to know we can beat any team,” added Barrie. “We already beat the (Americans) in their barn, so we know we can win down there. It’s a big challenge, but this is what you play the game for. It’s far from over.” Just as his charges did against Everett, Huska expects the Rockets to remain confident and resolute right to the final whistle. Based on the hurdles they’ve already cleared in 2009-10, Huska wouldn’t be surprised to see his Rockets push the Ams to seven games. “We’ve been a resilient group all year,” Huska said. “We’ve gone through an awful lot with guys not coming back, like Tyler Myers and Colin Long, being short with all the injuries we struggled with most of the year. “We were down two games against Everett and came back to win... and we still feel we definitely have a shot.” If needed, Game 6 will be played Sunday, 5 p.m. at Prospera Place. A seventh game would be played Tuesday in Kennewick.
Sundance crew shines in Regina Morning Star Staff
Martial artists from Sundance Taekwon-Do in Vernon picked up four medals at the Western Canadian ITF Taekwon-Do Championships last weekend in Regina. A total of 300 competitors competed at the University of Regina. This is a selection year for black belts trying to make Team Canada for the 2011 International Taekwon-Do Federation World Championships in New Zealand, and local black belt Taylor Halvorson earned seeding points toward the November nationals in Vancouver. Halvorson, 15, placed third in 14-17 female sparring. Other medalists include future prospect Kai Halvorson, who earned a silver medal in patterns and a bronze in sparring. Also taking home medals were Natalie Bowie, 17, blue belt, who earned silver in sparring, and Jordan Couchman, 19, green belt, who claimed silver in patterns and bronze in sparring. Chad Colton and Brett Bell represented Vernon with a high level of sportsmanship, but came away empty-handed in high-level of competition.

April Special
KELOWNA – Anything that’s happened to date in the Western Hockey League season is no longer of any consequence to the Kelowna Rockets. All that matters now is three periods of hockey – Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinal tonight in Kennewick, Wash. – as the Rockets face playoff expulsion at the hands of the Tri-City Americans. “We can’t look at the big picture, we can only win one game at a time and that’s what our focus has to be, just this one game,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “We’re confident that if we win down there (Friday) then we can bring it back here for Game 6 and even it up. We all know, after that, if we can get to the seventh game, anything can happen.” Rarely have teams been able to battle back from a 3-1 deficits in the WHL playoffs, but that’s the conundrum facing Huska’s squad. After the team split the first two games of the series last weekend at the Toyota Center, the Americans have put Kelowna in a bind by stealing both Games 3 and 4 at Prospera Place. A 3-2 loss on Wednesday was particularly galling for the Rockets who outshot Tri-City 35-13 and carried the play for the better part of the last two periods. But the sparkling goaltending of Drew Owsley combined with a lethargic Rockets power play (1-for-6) sabotaged Kelowna’s attempt to even the series. Still, veteran defenceman Tyson Barrie said the Rockets have plenty of positives to build on heading into Game 5. “We thought we likely deserved something better, we did a lot of good things and we limited a really good offensive team from getting a lot of chances,” said Barrie, who scored Kelowna’s first

Morning Star Staff
The Vernon United U18 boys won the Lake City Ice Breaker tournament on the Easter long weekend at Beasley Park. United beat out six other clubs from B.C. and Alberta for the title, going undefeated with ties early in the tournament versus Kelowna United and Willowridge Freedom of Calgary. On the second day of competition, Vernon brushed back the Kamloops Blaze 3-1 on two goals from Austin Jones and one from German international student Willy Winkler. In the Sunday semifinal the boys defeated the Blaze 2-1, this time, in a thrilling shootout. Nathan Whitling starred in goal for Vernon, especially during the shootout when he played his first game as a replacement for the regular keeper. In the tournament final, United played their best game against Quest Soccer Academy from S q u a m i s h / Wh i s t l e r, winning 2-0. The game featured two goals from Jones, who led the tournament in scoring. The talented Quest team was limited to one scoring chance by the strong defensive core of Keefery Joyce, Connor Lee, Dominique Oshanek and Nick Pantaleo. United coach John Farina was extremely happy with his team’s play. “This is a talented group of players, many of which have trained in the Whitecaps School Academy. They are very skilled and a pleasure
to coach.” Farina made special mention of keeper Albert Goldnick and midfielder Go Horiuchi
for excellent weekends. Additionally, Jones and Joyce received Playerof-The-Game honours.

Venom find court glory Morning Star Staff
The Vernon Under 17 Venom are turning heads early in the club volleyball season. The Venom, coached by Doug Kozak, have played in back-toback, top-level tournaments, having made the finals of the Okanagan Super Series at the end of March and Calgary’s Best of the West Tournament last weekend. “We were invited to the Best of the West after winning the U18 Vancouver Super Series so it’s obvious the word is out that we will be a legitimate challenger for a provincial and national title this year,” said Kozak. “In order to win a provincial this year, we will have to beat the best U18 teams in B.C. since the U17s and 18s will be combined. We have done it once but twice is a going
to be a tough go.” The championship final in Calgary was an up-and-down battle against the No. 1 ranked Manitoba 204 Machine with the Machine winning 26-24, 25-23. “We had a couple of chances to win the first game after tournament all-stars Jonnie Russo and Conner Kozak traded turns with impressive kills from the power and right side. The second set was just as tight with great saves from libero Alex Nolan and heavy serves from Matt Lofgren but we couldn’t pull off the comeback.” The Venom started pool play by beating Manitoba 204 and then posted wins over Prince Albert and Fraser Valley 17s before ending the day with a loss to Vancouver’s Focus Pounders. After beating the Regina
Cougars on Sunday, the Venom headed into the semifinal against Focus, the only U17 team they hadn’t defeated this year. “Focus started off strong and was cruising along without much resistance from us and it looked like we weren’t going to be able to solve the Pounders puzzle once again. After losing the first set 19-25, we managed to scrounge enough points together to get through the second set 26-24. Our blocking game seemed to finally slow down the Focus attackers with middles Jadon Ward, Keenan Wright, Riley McDonald and setters Adam Tishenko leading the way to a 15-9 third-set win.” The Venom carried major sponsorship from Special-TCleaning and Oyama Sand and Gravel.

A group of local high school musicians are getting ready to blow the top off Space Mountain. Approximately 50 Kalamalka Secondary School music students, led by esteemed leader and Kal music teacher Brian McMahon and accompanied by parent chaperones, are about to enter the land of Mickey Mouse and Capt. Jack Sparrow to perform at Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disneyland Resort. A mix of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior jazz and concert band players leave for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;happiest place on earthâ&#x20AC;? April 25, and will cram onto a bus at 3:30 a.m. to drive to Seattle before flying into Orange County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the bus ride the most,â&#x20AC;? said Grade 11 trombonist Sean Lavigne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be singing on the bus all the way down.â&#x20AC;? Tenor sax player and Grade 11 student Joe Braun says he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to visit Universal Studios and to people watch on the Santa Monica peer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are staying in a hotel 10 minutes away from Disneyland, and we get quite a bit of free time,â&#x20AC;? he said. The students are also looking forward to performing for international visitors in three concerts at Disneyland. McMahon has arranged for the students to perform a mixture of popular tunes, from the song Africa by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s rock band Toto to a medley of Leiber and Stoller tunes, including Stand by Me and Smokey Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ, as well as Blue Moon, Gypsy Dance, the seafaring tune Drunken Sailor, circus march Bravura, and others. Besides the live performances, the students are entering a recording studio at the resort to play music from a chosen Disney film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what music they will give us yet, but we took a class in sight reading so that should help us prepare for it,â&#x20AC;? said Grade 10 bassist Torsten Raupach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone will be there to mentor us, then we will record it.â&#x20AC;? The students in turn will receive a DVD featuring a clip of the Disney film along with their own version of the musical score, added Grade 10 trumpeter Sean McMahon. The band students, who missed this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to the annual Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival in Idaho, have been raising money through various means â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from helping at a tree farm nursery, to selling poinsettias at Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to pay for the trip.
They are also giving back, and will be part of a special performance in Vernon before they leave. On Monday, the students join a number of community musicians to raise awareness and money for Haitian earthquake victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (Disney) trip is already paid for, so we thought this should go towards a fundraiser and a good cause,â&#x20AC;? said Braun. Besides the Disney band taking the stage to perform the concert program they are preparing for their tour to California, the night will feature a number of musicians who study under the guidance of guitar master Neil Fraser, keyboard and studio whiz Henry Piovesan, as well as McMahon. Opening the night will be the awardwinning guitar trio, James and the Country Gentlemen, featuring two current Kal senior jazz band members, Daniel Favell and Stefan Raupach, and former Kal student Johan Linghor. The trio will later be joined by fellow students of Vernon Community Music School instructor Fraser and his Guitar Summit.

The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, and all proceeds from door donations will go to World Vision and be targeted to help Haiti.

Arts Vocalists share love of Andrew Lloyd Webber Morning Star Staff
Savour the memory with the music of the night when Calgary baritone Michael Hope and the Okanagan Symphony present the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber Saturday at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. Joining Hope in his Okanagan performances is special guest, Vernon’s very own Melina Moore, who says the program is a lovely mix of classics from Webber musicals such as Cats, Phantom of the Opera, Evita and others, as well as other classic theatre repertoire. “I’m delighted to be singing with the OSO and Michael,” said Moore, who was born in Argentina and lived and studied in New York at the Manhattan School of Music, Columbia and Julliard. “The music of ALW is dear to me, and I’m thrilled to be performing Don’t Cry for Me Argentina again, as I’m Argentine and haven’t been back to Buenos

Titans gets a visual makeover Clash of the Titans: ★★ 1/2 out of 5
A
trocious, yet oddly irresistible, there’s no bigger ball of epic cheese than the brand new Clash Of The Titans. Wait, the 1981 original –– that stopmotion creature feature with acting on a primary grade level –– that one was worse,
you say? Well, yes and no. Remember, that movie had the kind of budget that couldn’t do much better than squeeze Harry Hamlin into a toga and have him do battle with overgrown rubber bath toys. The new version? The cost for the computer-generated
AISLE SEAT Jason Armstrong
And visually, Clash is an impressive film. They bring elaborate, razor-toothed critters to life here –– only to slaughter most of them –– that, three decades ago, special effects wizards could only dream of.
But underneath the pricey bells, whistles and nippled armour is a script so ridiculously corny, you don’t know whether to applaud these people for the courage to actually go through with the project, or use those same
hands to slap yourself upside the head for dropping money on a ticket.
Honestly, it’s a tough choice which way to go.

Movie gods release the Kraken again Continued from page B3 Sam Worthington (first Avatar, now this, something tells me the dude ain’t gonna want to act in front of another blue screen for a looooong time) stars as Perseus, son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), and raised by a fisherman. When the seaport city of Argos rebels against the gods on Mount Olympus for their seemingly never ending parade of misfortunes, the wicked Hades
(Ralph Fiennes), banished forever to the underworld, sees an opportunity. Looking to knock Zeus off his throne, he devises a plan that will appeal to the gods by striking fear in the hearts of man, thus getting them all back on board, but will ultimately see Hades emerge as the top dog. His proposal is to demand a sacrifice from humans. If the people don’t offer up the king’s daughter, Andromeda (Alexa
Davalos), the feared beast known as the Kraken will be unleashed. What Hades doesn’t count on is Perseus, who, along with his trusty winged horse, rolls through everything from giant scorpions to one-eyed witches, flying demons, and even Medusa herself to save the day. Worthington isn’t overly big on charm in this role, but his biceps are up to the
task –– and somehow, in this twisted comic book of mythology and monsters, that seems to be enough. Clash Of The Titans is a ham-fisted effort, but at least it keeps on swinging until the very end. Give it another 29 years, and maybe someone will find a way to add depth to this tale. The feature is currently playing at Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.
Catch ‘Swine Flew’ at Enderby Church Morning Star Staff
It will be a rip snortin’ evening when Saint Andrew’s United Church in Enderby presents a fundraising dinner theatre for MacKenzie Camp. On the heels of last year’s popular presentation of The Good, the Bad, and the Esthetically Challenged, Saint Andrew’s resident musician Linzy Lunkwist has concoct-
ed a new theme for this year’s play. Swine Flew is a collection of pig tales such as “Hamlet,” “The Pig and Whistle,” “Porky and Bess” and “Pigs in Space,” or, “Sty Wars,” said Lunkwist. “Full of terrible pig puns, it is non-stop silliness from beginning to end.” The piece-deresistance is the Royal “WinniPIG” Ballet,
performing “Swine Lake”, or, “Bay of Pigs.” And all the skits will be introduced by “MC HAMmer.” People can also pig out on a delicious dinner of “PORKupines” (meatballs) on rice pilaf, with a choice of sweet and sour sauce or mushroom sauce, along with hot veggies and a green salad. Coffee and tea is also included, and so is slop
(dessert). The play runs April 16 and 17, with dinner at 6 p.m. and the show at 7 p.m.

Retreat offers respite from illness Morning Star Staff
One of life’s greatest challenges comes when a person or a loved one faces a life-threatening illness. The Mara Retreat Centre offers an opportunity to embrace and understand their illness as a pathway to empowerment and awakening and face fears to live life more fully. “This really wonderful resource is available to everyone at any stage in their journey with illness,” said Andrea Hoye, president of the board of directors of Mara Station Retreat Society. The society offers short retreat sessions, different from the services of Hospice House, which provides end-of-life care. Retreat participants and their support people must be able to look after their own daily needs. The next retreat is April 16 to 20. The retreat sessions are facilitated by Dr. Kay CostleyWhite, a retired palliative care physician, and Ginny Cox, a palliative care nurse. A retreat day begins with guided meditation or qigong followed by breakfast and small group sessions focusing on finding purpose and meaning when facing illness, hopes, fears, spirituality and dealing with loss, grief, pain and symptoms. There is individual quiet time after lunch, then participants may choose individual sessions of complementary therapies including massage and aromatherapy, music and art therapy, yoga, visualization, Reiki and therapeutic and healing touch. After dinner, people can take part in group sessions or spend time on their own. “No one has to talk about anything they don’t feel comfortable with. They can take what they need from each session. It is all very safe and nurturing in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Participants say it is tremendously helpful,” said Hoye. A maximum of six to eight participants are accepted for

Mara Station Retreat Centre on the Shuswap River offers retreats for people with life-threatening illnesses and their families and caregivers. The next retreat is April 16-20. each retreat. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and all healthy meals are included in the retreat cost. There is financial assistance available if needed. People may attend by themselves or with a partner shortly after diagnosis or at any time during their illness. The Mara Station Retreat Society was formed in 2008 to provide residential retreats for people with cancer and other life-threatening illness and their caregivers and to provide
grief support, as well as education and support for health care professionals. The society’s board fundraises to provide financial assistance to participants if necessary and to cover operating costs for the programs. For more information about the April 16-20 or other retreats, and registration, contact executive director Ginny Cox at 250-838-7520 or e-mail retreat@marastation.com or see www.marastation.com.
Wake up and get the message
D
ear Annie: I am at a crossroads and need your advice. For the past two years, I have been dating an older married man who works at my office. I started seeing him after my husband and I split up. Our time together is limited. He comes over to my house once or twice during the workweek and spends some time with me every other weekend when my kids are with their father. We are in contact by cell phone, and I text him throughout the day and evening. We are never together in public unless it is out of town. My problem is, he has told me he Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar will leave his wife, but he hasn’t yet. When I don’t see him on a night he is supposed to come over, I get angry. He later apologizes, and I forgive him. This has gotten to be our regular routine. I feel like I have wasted these past two years, but for some reason I keep coming back for more. Should I give up? — P.H. Dear P.H.: Wake up, honey. He’s not planning to leave his wife for you. He has a sweet deal on the side, and you put up with it. Yes, you have wasted two years. Please don’t waste any more. He will make all kinds of promises when
ANNIE'S MAILBOX
you tell him you are leaving, but gather your strength and don’t believe a word. We don’t want you writing us in another five years, asking the same question. Dean Annie: I respect and love my ex-brother-in-law, “Joe,” like my own kin. I am a carpenter’s apprentice with excellent skills. Joe, along with several family members, called and asked for my help with some repairs on his home so that he could receive family and friends after his second wife died last year. I agreed, for a fee, but didn’t specify the price. I told him I’d leave that up to him. The repairs were extensive. I fixed two roofs and the interior ceiling, replaced shingles, patched many holes throughout the house, put up window coverings and painted most of the interior. Knowing that this is my livelihood and I am currently out of work, I expected to hear from Joe when I finished. I gave him a two-month grace period before I mentioned the money. He responded as if I were being disrespectful of the dead. He yelled at me and hung up the phone. Now I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do I sue him for the repairs or let it go? — Sick and Tired in Connecticut Dear Connecticut: Would you rather have the money
or the relationship? You are not going to get both. We’ll assume your ex-brother-in-law is still grieving the loss of his wife and was not thinking clearly. Since you never specified a price, he apparently thought you had done those repairs out of the kindness of your heart. We hope he will eventually agree to give you something for your hard work, but the only way to maintain the friendship is to chalk this one up to experience. Dear Annie: Your advice to “Out-of-Space Mom,” whose grown daughter lives in another country but left her stuff at Mom’s house, was on target, but it needs one more step. Mom should tell her daughter that she will pay for six months of storage, and that at the end of that time, she will call Goodwill to come pick it up. Simply discontinuing the payments will result in nothing but hassle for Mom, in whose name the stuff will be stored and who will have to keep paying or suffer through collection efforts by the storage unit owner. Personally, I’d make this a one-step process for Mom by packing up the stuff and telling the daughter that on moving day it is going out the door, unless the daughter has made arrangements, in HER name, to store it or ship it. — N.C. Lawyer Dear Lawyer: Your solution is much more definitive. Thank you for cleaning up after us.
Fans are important to us too. Come see our fans.

Lidocaine and margaritas don’t mix DR. GARY WESSELS
Special to The Morning Star
Next time you’re in Tijuana, Mexico, flip open the yellow pages to “dentist” and start reading. You’ll find page after page of price lists (in English) for common dental procedures, enticing you with the promise of getting your dental needs met for less. Medical tourism, or traveling abroad for medical procedures perceived to be too costly at home, has exploded in popularity in recent years, and Mexican dentists south of the U.S. border have jumped on for the ride. Promising everything from cleanings and fillings to more complicated procedures such as implants and full mouth reconstructions, dentists in Mexico are ready to provide care for Canadian and American travelers looking to stretch their dollars. If the procedures and materials are the same, why not head south for a few margaritas and that crown or root canal you need done, and save a few dollars to boot? Let’s back up and look at the big picture. The world is getting smaller as the electronic web we communicate on pulls in tighter and tighter, making it possible to chat with a pal in Paris while ordering groceries…all on your cell phone! One upshot of all this accessibility and sharing of knowledge is that, as a society, we’ve come to view increasingly complex services as commodities: products that are the same, no matter who produced them. So, what’s the problem with dentistry being sold as a commodity, downplaying the dentist and emphasizing the savings? The short answer is that, if price is all that matters, you’ll get what you pay for. When your hometown dentist, who you’ve probably known for years, recommends treatment for you, there are a few things you can count on. To start, they are accountable to North American standards of care, training, sterility, and licensing that you know are enforced and that you can easily check on. Further, they’re going to be nearby should any complication arise following your treatment. What’s more, you’ll have easy access to other patients who’ve seen your dentist, people whose positive experiences are similar
to your own, lending you a sense of confidence and security. Finally, you’ll have a history with your own dentist: A chance for you to experience the outcomes of their prior recommendations. The key here is that their services are distinguished by the manner in which they are delivered, not by their price. Contrast that scenario to one you’ll encounter seeing a dentist in Mexico. The qualitative factors, listed above for your hometown dentist, are now off the table. Regarding your new, short-term dentist in Mexico, can you easily access, comprehend, and confirm their certification and licensing? Are you sure the instruments are sterile? While you may have a great time on your dental vacation and be very impressed with the service you receive, are you prepared to live with the possibility of serious complications that don’t arise until you get home, possibly years from now? While one can find excellent dentists and doctors in every country, the fact that different standards of care exist in different countries still remains. The danger here is the assumption that the product is the same, no matter who produces it. That price is the only difference. As a dentist, I’ve seen good dentistry come from Mexico, and I’ve seen dental work done there that I certainly wouldn’t want to live with myself. If you don’t trust the tap water, are you really ready to gamble on the dentistry? Caveat emptor. Dr. Gary Wessels is a Vernon dentist.

System leads to more bookings TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA – Openingday provincial campground reservations were up 35 per cent over last year after the B.C. government launched a new reservation system April 1. EnvironmentMinister Barry Penner credits the jump in camping reservations to new options available by phone or through HelloBC.com, such as the ability to book specific campground spaces. This has not only created a gold rush for prime summer spots near beaches and trails, but also allows people to book adjacent spaces for friends and relatives. The system recorded 5,400 bookings on opening day, compared to about 4,000 on the first day available last year, Penner said. The interest in the outdoors also showed up in fishing licence sales, which took in $185,000 on the first day, nearly three times the $63,000 total from last year. Campers appear undeterred by rate increases at various parks that also took effect. Penner said the increases
are on average only one or two dollars, and still leave provincial campsites a bargain compared to setting up camp at a national park or private campground. Provincial park camping fees are generally between $10 to $24 per party, per night for vehicle accessible sites, and $5 to $10 per person, per night for back country sites. Some popular spots such as Cultus Lake go for $30, which is still cheaper than nearby non-provincial camp-
sites, Penner said. Opposition MLAs blasted the camping reservation system in the legislature, after discovering in March it would be run from “Hello Guelph Ontario.” “How does the minister rationalize to this house the transfer of B.C. tax money to the Ontario economy while people in the minister’s own town are losing their jobs today?” Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson asked Tourism Minister Kevin Krueger.
Penner provided the answer the following day, telling the legislature that no bids had been received from B.C. providers for the new system. Simpson said the Ontario-based system doesn’t accept major credit cards, and this creates problems for provincial parks such as Bowron Lakes in the Cariboo, a popular canoe circuit that receives many of its bookings from Europe. Penner offered to work with park operators to improve the system.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Measures can be taken today to recoup that which you lost in a recent arrangement where you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare too well. If you take the initiate to do so, the accounts can be balanced.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) If you can, get to know better that person you recently met who has something to do with your work. Some happy results are likely to come about if you become pals.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 19) If your sources turn out to be reliable regarding some information passed onto you that could directly affect your self-interests, big strides can be made today to achieve an important personal goal.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Even though your present plans sound pretty good, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be polished up a bit. Go over everything once again to see if you can make some improvements.
Fill-in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) This could be a good time to explore that new idea youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mulling over, to see if it is even feasible. If it is something that can be used by the masses, it could be big.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be a gifted promoter today, who knows how to effectively sell what you want. However, to your credit, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt to hawk anything you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find worthy. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) One-on-one relationships can take on an added significance today in the way of accomplishing things together that you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to get done alone. Be willing to team up with another. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) This is a better than usual cycle to be able to satisfy some of your more ambitious interests. However, if you take some time to see if you can launch one of them, just be sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to work for it. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23) Something over which you are able to exert a strong influence has an excellent chance of achieving success at this point in time, but you have to do something about it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit on what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 22) Things can go quite well for you today involving someone with whom you share a close arrangement. The important thing is that you work together when there is a major decision to be made. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23-DEC. 21) If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t of singular mind and purpose today, your accomplishments can be quite impressive. Work together with others and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limit yourself to only what one person wants.
PISCES (FEB. 20-MARCH 20) When it comes to a commercial involvement today, use your common sense, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t underestimate your intuitive hunches either. They could enhance what your logic offers you. YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY Your financial picture looks rather encouraging in the year ahead, but money isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be handed to you on a silver platter. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind working extra hard for it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a chance of getting what you want.

HORMONES Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot ďŹ&#x201A;ashes 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.

Give peace a chance
I
n October, this column brought news of a long-awaited treaty deal with the Yale First Nation, under the hopeful headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace comes to the Fraser Canyon.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to receive a reaction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What peace are you referring to?â&#x20AC;? asked Ernie Crey of the Sto:lo Tribal Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Yale treaty heralds more conflict, not less.â&#x20AC;? A community of 150 people, the Yale members are preparing to vote on a constitution and treaty that grants them ownership of historic salmon fishing sites in the canyon, along with land, forest and mineral rights and about $12 million in compensation. It comes at a critical time for the fishery, as a judicial inquiry into the alarming state of the Fraser River sockeye stocks begins work for a report due by May of 2011. Along with climate change, fish farms and billions of hatchery-raised Pacific salmon â&#x20AC;&#x153;ranchedâ&#x20AC;? by the United States and others, control over the narrow canyon where all fish must pass is a crucial factor. The most contentious part of the treaty is that it would give the Yale authority to regu-
late access to key fishing sites, mainly eddies where salmon gather to rest. The treaty makes it clear itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an exclusive right to fish, a federal negotiator assured The Chilliwack Progress recently, but the Yale would have a say on crossing their treaty settlement lands. The eight bands of the Sto:lo Tribal Council reject the treaty, and the whole notion of Yale as a separate community from the Sto:lo, who occupy reserves below the canyon. Crey notes that the Yale band was once part of the Union Bar band, and that Yale chief Robert Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather was once chief of the Seabird Island band. Both are Sto:lo member bands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad was registered at Seabird Island for years, but picked up and moved his family up to Yale back in the early 1960s,â&#x20AC;? said Crey, whose home village is Cheam near Agassiz. Of course, these band divisions were arbitrarily imposed under the Indian Act. The history of the region is detailed in a carefully documented 2001 book, A Sto:lo-
Coast Salish Historical Atlas, edited by Keith Thor Carlson for the Sto:lo Heritage Trust. It describes how Ottawa outlawed transfer of hereditary property rights in 1884 (the potlatch law) and native fish sales in 1888. Whatever order had been imposed by Sto:lo clans over the centuries Tom Fletcher unraveled. Black market use of disputed sites was one result. This is not to suggest that all was calm before European contact. Far from it. Archaeologists have found rock fortifications all along the canyon, evidently used to spot and repel raiders coming upriver in canoes. A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 provides a snapshot of conflict between communities. During those three years alone, the Cowichan launched four attacks on Chilliwack, and dozens of other raids were recorded from Washington state up the Fraser and the B.C. coast. Oral histories

suggest some full-scale wars, but most of the attacks are believed to have been raids to seize dried salmon and slaves. Now Ottawa and B.C. need consent of only the Yale community to attempt this treaty to restore order at the most vulnerable point of the Fraser River system. The Sto:lo objections are understandable. They have the most detailed records of occu-

Merritt man who killed kids to remain in custody Black Press
Child-killer Allan Schoenborn will be under treatment and close restrictions for at least a year at the Forensic Psychiatric Institute in Port Coqutilam following a legal hearing with the B.C. Review Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He continues, in our view, to pose a significant threat to
THE
the safety of the community,â&#x20AC;? said board chairman Bern Walter following the April 6 hearing in Port Coquitlam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no feasible plans where he could be discharged in the community, given that threat.â&#x20AC;? Schoenborn dismissed his lawyer and represented himself through the hear-
ing, which gathered evidence about Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental condition, plans for treatment and offence. The board also heard from Schoenborn about his own plans. The hearing included a victim-impact statement filed by Darcie Clarke, the mother of the three children
slain by Schoenborn. Under the order given by the board, Schoenborn will have no access to the community, even under escort, and he is not allowed any contact whatsoever with Clarke. While Schoenborn can ask for another hearing at any time, the board is not
legally required to hold a hearing for another 12 months. In February, Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for slaying his children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kaitlynne, 10, Max, 8, and Cordon, 5, in their Merritt home in April 2006. After reviewing the case
and finding no legal errors, Crown prosecutors decided not to appeal the decision by Supreme Court Justice Robert Powers, who ruled Schoenborn was not criminally responsible because he was suffering from a mental illness that placed him in a psychotic state when he brutally murdered his children.

Moderately Confused
CRESCENT FALLS VETERINARY HOSPITAL Laser Therapy
Bridge by Phillip Alder In yesterday’s deal, West was on lead against six spades. He had seven clubs to the K-Q-J-10-9, two low diamonds, a heart void and four low trumps. He led the club king. But a couple of sharp-eyed readers noted that the queen would have been a better lead. Why? If you know the answer, you will have no trouble spotting West’s correct opening lead in this deal. What would be your choice against four hearts? First, let’s go back to yesterday’s deal. West leads the club queen because he hopes his partner will win the trick with the ace and return a heart so that he can ruff it. West leads his highest “losing” club as a suit-
preference signal. If West had had a diamond void, he would have led the club nine. In this deal, when North bids diamonds and South raises, West should realize that his partner has at most one diamond. So he should lead that suit. Normally West would lead the diamond seven, top of nothing. But not here. Since his fast entry is in clubs, the lower-ranking of the other two side suits, he leads the diamond four. Assuming East is on the same wavelength, he will ruff and shift to a club. West will take the trick with his ace and give his partner a second ruff, this time selecting the diamond seven to ask for a spade return.
Sooner or later, West gets the spade king as the setting trick. If that happens, NorthSouth will then discuss how they could have got to five diamonds. (Even six diamonds can be made if East does not lead a spade.)

Glenn was always involved with the many athletic pursuits of his children whether it was hockey, baseball, swimming or ringette and spent many a cold morning driving to early morning practice. He greatly enjoyed his time at the lake and was always the ultimate host. Glenn and Dot spent many winters in Venezuela and Mexico where they made many treasured friends. Glenn was always ready for a good game of cards or cribbage with his family and friends or lunch with the boys. One of the greatest joys of Glenn’s life was his dearly loved grandsons of whom he was so very proud. Memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, The Diabetes Association or a charity of your choice. A celebration of Glenn’s life will be held in Winnipeg at a later date.

Remember Your Loved Ones
Geoff was born and raised in New Zealand, where he joined the Civil Reserve and learned to fly. In 1938 at 19, he was accepted into the Royal Air Force and joined the Coastal Command in England, as a bomber pilot. A year later he was sent to Canada to train new recruits at the Commonwealth Air Training Program. While in Canada, he met Audrey Robertson, whom he married in 1941. Eighteen months later they moved to England and by 1944 Geoffrey was promoted to Wing Commander. In 1947 they left England for Canada, settling in the Penticton area on Skaha Lake, where Geoff worked as an orchardist. Though he loved the South Okanagan, his passion was flying, so after 27 years, Geoff and Audrey moved to Vernon. There, he bought a flying school and taught an entire generation to fly. Geoff was a physical man, enjoying swimming and downhill skiing, which he learned at 60. In 1999 after Audrey’s death, he volunteered at Hospice, where he learned to cook, delighting clients and friends with his creations. Always a spiritual man, Geoff embraced the parish of All Saints’ Anglican Church and Choir. He was also an active member of the Vernon Community Choir. Geoff sang, skied, flew, and swam with the wonderful people of this community where he’d made his home for the past 36 years. He was 91. Service to be held at All Saints’ Anglican Church, 3205 – 27th Street, Vernon, on Sunday, April 11th, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.

Coral “Doreen” Cozzetto April 6, 2010
Kel was born on May 16th, 1957 in Invermere, BC and passed away suddenly on April 4th, 2010 in the Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 52 years. He was an amazing man with an infectious smile and a wam hug for all of those he called a friend. Kel was a valued and dedicated lineman with BC Hydro for over 30 years. He made countless friends throughout his career and many co-workers are proud to call him a “brother.” Kel’s work brought him to the Okanagan in 1993 and he and his family have lived in Lavington since then. Kel was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting with his father-in-law, George and brotherin-law, Rob in Northern BC and fishing with anyone who would go with him. He spent many nights camping with his friends and family and he will be greatly missed around the campfire. Another one of Kel’s loves was his Harley. It shines with his pride and holds many happy memories of roadtrips to the Coast and many great times around town. Kel’s greatest love was for his family. You have never met a prouder father or a more smitten husband. It was obvious to anyone who knew Kel that he had a great and contented life, one that was cut far too short. His family and friends have been robbed of so many more years spent with a truly wonderful man. Kel is survived by his beautiful wife, Kathy; his children, Kelly (Allison) of Chilliwack, BC, Clayton of Maple Ridge, BC, Chelsey and Chace, both of Lavington, BC. Also left behind is Kel’s mother, Elizabeth Haluck of Calgary, AB ; his sisters, Darlene (John) Shane of Campbell River, BC and Charlotte (Adam) Pasowisty of Cranbrook, BC. Kel’s in-laws will also miss him: George (Deann) Fraser of Newburg, ON; Bev Lawrence of Enderby, BC, Rob (Colleen) Fraser and children from Taylor, BC and Glenn, Morgan and Ty Terpsma of Langley, BC. Kel was preceded in death by his father, John Ladyka in 1975; his step-father, Albert Haluck in 2002; and his sister-in-law, Vicki Fraser-Terpsma in 2000. Cremation preceded a Celebration Of Kel’s Life which will be held at the Vernon Alliance Chuch on Saturday, April 10th, 2010 at 1:00 P.M. with Pastor Jeremy Kinniburgh officiating. A Reception will follow at the Vernon Lodge, to which everyone is invited to attend. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Kel to the charity of their choice. Funeral arrangements have been made with Bethel Funeral Chapel Ltd., 5605-27th Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 8Z5 250-542-1187
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away.” - Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell “She’s the one thing I found right in a world that’s gone wrong.” - George Jones “Those happy hours that we once knew, though long ago they still make me blue. They say that time heals a broken heart but time has stood still since we’ve been apart.” - Ray Charles
Doreen Cozzetto died at North Okanagan Hospice House after a year-long illness. She leaves behind her dear love and companion Sonny and many friends. When Doreen found out she had cancer, her reply with a shrug of her shoulders was “Well, we all die someday.” And then she continued to live by the philosophy she had lived by for two and half decades: “One day at a time.” If you are one of the lucky ones to have known her, nothing we say can replace that feeling you had when this classy lady entered a room. To be there just once more and bask in her instant friendship and soak up her laughter is what we all wish on this profoundly sad day of her passing. Doreen’s best friend remembers her at an AA meeting 24 years ago where they became instant friends and constant support for each other, but mostly she remembers the laughter and joy of knowing a truly big-hearted person. Doreen had an artist’s soul. She lived for music and was no stranger to strumming her guitar and crooning along to raw and heart-felt lyrics of country and western tunes. She danced and many will remember her most recent foray into ‘tripping the light fantastic’: square dancing. Her watercolour paintings were not as well known as the countless afghans and other knitting she did for the needy and for those in senior homes and the hospital. She was quiet about her giving. Her giving put her in the class of unsung heroes who ‘fight for the underdog.’ Giving was not a pastime for Doreen but rather an imperative - to do something for people, the down and out. She put all at ease and loved to entertain people - but never mistake, she had a mind of her own and was a feisty one when she needed to be! We miss you, Doreen. You believed in angels. Now you are one. No funeral by request. “I’ll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces all day through.... I’ll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new I’ll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing you.” - Sammy Fain & Irving Kahal

Lillian Helen Vernon Kanester DDecember 19, 1919 - March 28, 2010 100 Lillian will be sadly missed by her husband, Clifford, her sons, James (Anne-Marie) and Clinton (Kathryn), her daughter, Janet, and four loving granddaughters, Nadia, Jennifer, Emily, and Wynne. She was predeceased by her older sister, Maybelle Bell, in 2005. Lillian was born and raised in the small town of McLean, Saskatchewan. During the war years, she worked in Regina, both in the munitions and aircraft industries in support of the war effort. Lillian later moved to Revelstoke, BC and lived with her sister Maybelle while working in the Co-Op Store. While there, she met Cliff, her husband of 58 years. They moved to Kamloops and later Penticton in support of Cliff’s work and started a family. In 1966, the family moved to Vernon where they bought a small farm and set down more permanent roots. Lillian was a stay at home mother, but also worked in all aspects of farm life; Àxing and building fences, hauling and stacking hay, birthing calves, milking cows, raising pigs and chickens and ensuring that her family was supported in every way. As Lillian’s daughter, Janet, had Down’s Syndrome, Lillian worked incessantly with the Vernon and District Association for Community Living and later with the Pro Life Society. She ran fundraising bazaars at My School, assisted with Venture Training Centre projects, and in later life acted as volunteer coordinator with the Pro Life Thrift Store. Lillian retained a lifelong bond with her sister Maybelle, talking to each other several times a day by phone and visiting once a week until Maybelle’s unexpected passing at 92. In later life, Lillian was plagued by hip problems that impinged on her mobility, but not on her wit, humour and enjoyment of life.
Available Monday - Friday
A celebration of Lillian’s life will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the Pleasant Valley Funeral Home. In remembrance of Lillian’s life and loves, donations may be made to Vernon & District Association for Community Living, the Pro Life Society, or North Okanagan Hospice Society.

Joyce Ethel Foster Wallace March 5, 1923 - April 6, 2010 We regret to announce the passing of Joy Wallace on Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at Hospice House in Vernon, after a lengthy illness. Joy is survived by her daughter Wendy Wallace of Kelowna, her daughter and sonin-law, Roberta and Jack Millar of Vancouver, and her daughter and son-in-law, Deborah and Danny Stuart of Vernon. She is further survived by her 5 grandchildren, Craig Reimer and his wife, Tracy of Fort Nelson, Rob Millar of Vancouver, Keirsten Mendez-Nunez and her husband, José, Heather Stuart and Jamie Stuart and his wife, Allana, all of Vernon. Also, she is survived by her beloved greatgranddaughters, Aibhlin, Keirabel and Autumn. Joy is also survived by her sister-in-law, Gerry Olson of Portland, Oregon, nieces and nephews, and her cousins Joan and Gerry and their families of Cornwall, England. Joy was predeceased by her husband, Bob, in 2005. Joy was born in Toronto in 1923 and returned to England with her parents as a young girl. She enjoyed many adventures living in many parts of Canada and England throughout her childhood. Her family eventually settled in White Rock, where she met Bob. They married in Vancouver in May of 1943 and made their way to Vernon in August of 1957 where they raised their 3 daughters and enjoyed all that life in the Okanagan provided. Retirement allowed Bob and Joy trips to Europe and winters in California. Joy will be remembered by her family and friends for her many talents including an artist’s eye for fabric and sewing, needlework, interior design, and especially her glorious Christmas decorations. Every year she created a perfect Christmas tree and a magical display. Joy’s family wish to thank Dr. Larry Mandrek for his kind-hearted care and the wonderful staff of Hospice House for their dignified and compassionate care of our mother during her final days. Everyone who knew and loved Joy are invited to join our family for a memorial tea to be held on Saturday, April 10 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) at the Fireside Lounge in Regency Court (410 – 3300 Centennial Drive) where Joy has lived for the past several years.
